"Military merit, military merit is not as important as my head." Fang Boshan said: "Brother Cheng, we have a good relationship. If you just say you didn't see me, fine, I will thank you."
Cheng Dalei paused: "Master Fang, if Qingniu Mountain cannot be defended, Luoye City will be destroyed. Once the city slopes, all life will be ruined. Even you, the city lord, can't save your head. Now I, Toad Village, have favorable land and food, and you have people in Luoye City.
Why can't you join forces with me to fight?"
"Let's join forces to fight, that's the Rong clan!" Fang Boshan grinned: "Brother Cheng, I'm going to run away. I have some connections in Qingzhou, so I'll be safe when we get there. If you want to die, don't drag me along. This will make my city lord
The seal is here, given to you, and the troops and horses in the city are at your disposal, so just tell King Youzhou that you didn't see me, okay?"
Fang Boshan forced the city lord's seal into Cheng Dalei's hands.
Holding the heavy handsome seal in his palm, Cheng Dalei was silent for a long time.
He suddenly noticed that there were countless soldiers in the city lord's palace, and suddenly said: "Is there anyone willing to join forces with me to fight to drive away the barbarian enemies and guard the rivers and mountains?"
No one responded, Cheng Dalei was alone holding the city master's seal, looking lonely and embarrassed.
"Master, let's go." Xu Shenji tugged on Cheng Dalei's clothes, feeling a little sad.
Toad Village, Cheng Dalei's house.
It was getting dark, and Cheng Dalei didn't light a lamp. He sat alone in front of the table, with three big seals placed on the table.
The royal seal of King Youzhou, the seal of the city lord of Fangbo Mountain, and the seal of his own general.
There is a qilin squatting on the king's seal, a yellow tiger on the city lord's seal, and a toad on the general's seal. At this moment, the three family seals are in front of Cheng Dalei, and they all belong to Cheng Dalei alone.
He sat in the darkness and remained motionless for a long time.
There is a question that Cheng Dalei cannot figure out no matter how hard he thinks about it: Toad Stronghold is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as Yang Longting or Fang Boshan gives him some soldiers, it is not impossible to defend it. Although the Rong tribe is strong, they are not three-headed and six-armed. No matter how powerful the cavalry is, they will not be able to defend it.
In the mountains, their abilities have been reduced by at least half.
Why can't you just give it a try? Why do you run away as soon as you hear the name of the Rong clan, and you don't even have the courage to hold a sword?
Including in Toad Village, except for Lin Shaoyu, no one supports him. But Lin Shaoyu wants to be a hero, death is nothing to him, and he actually has no chance of winning.
But Cheng Dalei felt in his heart that he could win.
So lonely!
Cheng Dalei remembered the conversation he had with Li Xingzai. At that time, the two sides discussed why the Rong people were victorious in every battle. Cheng Dalei, as a senior keyboard warrior, frightened Li Xingzai into a daze.
Today, Cheng Dalei recalled the conversation between the two and roughly understood why they ran away.
In the past thirty years, the reputation of the Rong tribe has been overwhelming. As long as the empire encounters the Rong tribe, no matter what advantage it has, the result will be failure. Gradually, failure has become a habit, and running away has become a habit. Everyone feels in their hearts that the Rong tribe is unstoppable.
victorious.
And the reason why they want to escape is because they have a way out. Like Fangbo Mountain, it is not difficult for Yang Long to run to a place far away from the Rong people. So why should he fight desperately if he can stay alive while they all run away?
Well, why should my soldiers go to die?
So, let's all run away. If we run, we will be defeated like a mountain. After running for decades, the empire will be unable to stand upright in front of the Rong people.
Su Ying walked into the room at this time and glanced at Cheng Dalei silently.
"Are people outside waiting for you?"
"Well, let them wait a little longer."
Su Ying walked up to Cheng Dalei, put her hand on her shoulder, and said slowly: "I know it's not easy for you to leave this family fortune, but if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. There are Su family members in Jizhou and Qingzhou.
Business, let’s hide there for a while. The Rong people won’t last long. After this, we can come back with anything.”
Cheng Dalei stood up, took Su Ying's hand away, smiled and said, "Let's go, I'm ready."
At night, Toad Village is brightly lit, and the brothers from Shanzhai gather in the school grounds, lighting torches to disperse the darkness.
Seeing Cheng Dalei coming out, everyone's eyes followed Cheng Dalei until he stepped onto the general stage.
"Brothers..." The school ground was silent, and only Cheng Dalei's voice echoed: "Your wives, children, old and young are all here, and everyone has contributed to building this cottage. I just ask you if you are willing to give up our cottage.
, to be the bereaved dog. Today we have the advantage of a convenient location, and the cottage has countless weapons and food. Is there any brother who is willing to fight with me and defend our cottage?"
No one responded, the torch illuminated a pair of eyes, and everyone looked at Cheng Dalei.
"If you are willing to leave, I will not stay. If you are willing to fight, please take a step forward."
After Cheng Dalei's voice came out, no one answered, only Lin Shaoyu took a step forward neatly.
"Is there anyone else?" Cheng Dalei asked.
After a moment of silence, Xu Shenji gritted his teeth and stood up: "That's all, that's all, I've lived long enough with my old bones. I'm going to die with the boss today."
Qin Man also stood up and said with a bitter smile: "It's just a death."
Guan and Zhang looked at Liu Bei. He had a sad face and took a step forward, but said nothing.
Guan Zhang immediately took a step forward, and Zhao Zilong also stepped forward.
The little white wolf also took a step forward.
"Okay, I will die with you." Gao Feibao suddenly stood up and ignored his elder brother's stopping look.
Su Ying looked around and took a step forward.
These people were willing to come out, not because they thought they could hold on, but because they felt a little sad to see Cheng Dalei standing there alone.
Cheng Dalei looked at these people, and his heart was divided. With these few people, Toad Village could not be defended. He suddenly smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, I don't have the right to ask my brothers to die with me. In this case, then everyone can
Let's discuss how to...escape."
…
Black Rock City, City Lord’s Mansion.
Green Cherry looked at Fordler holding a knife in front of him, his face turned pale with fear.
"Don't kill me. I can do whatever you want. Please don't kill me."
Fordler looked at the knife in his hand, then at the green cherry kneeling in front of him, and suddenly gritted his teeth and dropped the knife on the ground.
"I'll let you go."
"Will you let me go..." Green Cherry couldn't believe it.
Fordler nodded: "You go, go through the back door, go south, that's your country, no one can hurt you there, it's not safe here."
"Let's go..." Green Cherry shook her head: "Your people are everywhere here. How can I, a weak woman, escape to there?"
"What should we do?" Fordler scratched his head.
Green Cherry was also flustered. She looked at Fordler in front of her and felt that he was just a teenager.
"You will protect me, right?" Green Cherry said suddenly.
Fordler suddenly became nervous and a little flustered: "I tried my best... I tried my best not to let anyone hurt you."
