Red Eagle's body fell to the side. Even though he was dead, his hand was still firmly holding the box full of silver.
For him, this box represents his future happy life, which may be more important than his life, so he is unwilling to give it up even before he dies.
Xiaoman's face was extremely pale. He looked at Chen Shu who was as cold as a rock and said, "Did the commander want you to kill me?"
Chen Shu shook his head and said: "The commander-in-chief didn't say anything, and the general didn't say anything either, but I know what should be done at this time. If you don't die, the commander-in-chief's reputation will be flawed. No matter what, someone must be responsible for the people who died in Lanzhou City.
"
Brother Chun sneered and said: "When I first blamed the people of Lanzhou for Hai Hu'er's death, you knew very well why I didn't stop it at that time, but only now do I want to kill people and silence them.
Is this what Yunzheng taught you?"
Chen Shu looked at Brother Chun complicatedly and said: "When I saw you harming others, I had no choice in order to complete the mission. As a soldier, military affairs come first.
Now that the military affairs are completed, the honor of the Jingxi Army has become the first priority. Killing you will put this matter to rest. I must do this."
Brother Chun walked to Hongying and helped him close his wide eyes and said: "I knew this was the result. My stupid wife just believed in Yun Zheng's so-called magnanimity.
Now the whole family has been killed alive."
Chen Shu shook his head and said: "It can't be your whole family, it's just the two of you. Your children will be raised by Jingxijun. You don't have any doubt about this."
Brother Chun smiled and said: "Let my child continue to help your so-called commander-in-chief fight on the battlefield, and die worthless in the end? Will you agree that your child will have such an end?"
Chen Shu blocked the crossbow arrows shot by Xiao Man with one knife. He took two steps quickly and slashed down at Brother Chun with his knife. Brother Chun held Hong Ying's body in front of him and blocked it with his long knife.
But there was no blood spattered on it. The huge wound on Red Eagle's neck had long since drained away the blood.
Chen Shu pulled out his long knife, and before he could kick away Red Eagle's body, a thin iron thorn passed through Red Eagle's ribs and was nailed to Chen Shu's armor. A flash of sparks flashed, and the sharp iron thorn slid along.
The gap in the armor got into Chen Shu's left shoulder.
Chen Shu snorted and ignored the iron thorn. The long knife turned and went straight to Brother Chun's head. Brother Chun had to withdraw the iron thorn and block it in front of him. He took a step forward and hit Chen Shu hard.
In his arms, there was a bang, and the two bodies collided hard. Brother Chun took two steps back, without the slightest hesitation, stretched his left hand to the other short thorn on his leg, but the other person was faster than him.
Even faster, when he reached halfway, the knife in Chen Shu's hand had accurately pierced his wrist, and the other knife smoothly cut open his thigh muscles.
In the blink of an eye, one hand and one leg were seriously injured, which basically paralyzed all of his combat effectiveness.
Chen Shu ignored the dagger that Xiaoman chopped on his armor, straightened up, grabbed his chin, pulled him up, and at the same time struck him with a backhand, hitting him hard with his iron-clad elbow.
On the already crazy little man's chest.
This blow was too heavy. Chen Shu had no sympathy for her. His gloomy eyes were full of murderous intent. Xiao Man spat out a mouthful of blood in despair. This time she was really desperate.
He took out a gunpowder bomb from his arms. This gunpowder bomb was completely different from the ones used by Chen Shu and the others. The gunpowder bomb was only the size of a fist, but it shone with a strange red color. This thing was given to Xiaoman by Hua Niang for self-defense.
This thing has not been used in these years... It is said that the power of this gunpowder bomb is ten times that of ordinary gunpowder bombs.
Brother Chun said with a smile on his blood-stained face: "Boss Chen, I put a lot of gold and silver treasures in the tunnel. How about buying a life?"
Chen Shu smiled grimly and said: "Just ask your wife, has the Jingxi Army ever negotiated with anyone? Since the treasure is in the tunnel, do you think I can't find it?"
Brother Chun's eyes glanced at the gunpowder bomb in Xiaoman's hand, and he said plaintively: "It's okay to kill me, what are you doing to kill my wife? She is also a member of your army. Besides, my wife is pretty.
"
Chen Shu laughed loudly, turned around and kicked away the ignited gunpowder bomb in Xiaoman's hand, dropped Brother Chun who was like mud, caught the flying gunpowder bomb with one hand, and stuffed the gunpowder rope with sparks flying.
He put it into his own mouth, opened his mouth and spit, bumped the red gunpowder bullet in his hand and said: "I have only seen this thing before, but you have it here. It seems that you are doing well in the Secret Service."
Xiaoman was lying on the ground with his back, his plump body clearly exposed.
Brother Chun coughed and said: "The money belongs to you, and the woman belongs to you. I just hope you can let her go in the end so that she can take care of the three children!"
Chen Shu squatted in front of Brother Chun with interest and said: "Your wife is indeed beautiful, but the most stringent prohibition in the damn Jingxi Army is that you are not allowed to molest women, let alone your wife.
I am a member of the Jingxi Army. If anyone knows that I have molested one of my own, eight generations of my ancestors will be damned."
Brother Chun used his good arm to prop up his body and said: "I can't kill my own people just because I can't humiliate you?
Chen Tou, if you kill me, I will not blame you. No matter who kills me, it will be my retribution. This life has long been registered with King Yama. No matter what you do, we and I will do whatever you want.
How can I ask you to let my wife go? Why do you still have three children to take care of?"
Chen Shu wiped the blood from his face, sat on a stone and said, "I am also a person who has killed countless people. This is the first time I have killed one of my own."
Xiaoman said bitterly: "Is this an order from Yun Zheng?"
Chen Shu shook his head and said: "No, the order I received is to station in Lanzhou City to deal with unexpected events. I still don't know whether this accident refers to an accident in Lanzhou City, an accident to the people of Lanzhou, or to deal with an accident caused by you."
Xiaoman spat out another mouthful of blood and said, "You bastard, you don't know anything, so you beat me hard. Do you know that I'm pregnant?"
Chen Shu said: "I don't know. I know so much about what to do. If the commander sent us here just to prevent you, it is my duty to kill you."
Brother Chun was struggling to bandage his own wounds. Hearing what Chen Shu said, he was stunned and said strangely: "In that case, why don't you do it? Otherwise, I would bandage my wounds in vain."
"At sunset, if I haven't received further instructions, I will kill you and go directly to Yanmen Pass to obey orders, so you can at least survive until sunset."
Chen Shu coughed and took out the flask and took a sip of wine. His injuries were very serious, especially his chest and abdomen, which felt like a ball of fire burning. Every time he took a breath, it hurt. This was an injury to his lungs. If the injury was not treated as soon as possible,
, this disease will haunt you for the rest of your life.
"What the hell are you doing for?" Brother Chun finally bandaged his injury, rolled to Xiaoman's side and looked at his wife worriedly, and finally looked up to the sky and sighed.
It was still cool in the morning, but because Lanzhou City was burning, everyone felt very hot. Now that the sun had just turned west, the earth became hot. The fire in Lanzhou City was finally extinguished, and there were only embers.
There was a curl of green smoke, just like the smoke from the kitchen on weekdays.
Li Qing is finally leaving. It is very difficult for dozens of people to control the camel city that only 500 people can control. But fortunately, as long as the camels are put on nose rings and connected one by one, it will still be the huge camel team.
Listening to the flattery of Lanzhou magistrate Liu Wenchun, he laughed and said:
"Actually, the Song people thought the Xixia people were vulgar, and the Xixia people thought the Song people were weak. This is a good insight, and there is no need to change it.
We are all born enemies. No matter what we say, we can't change this fact. And I like this fact.
Yun Zheng probably liked it too, so he made a wax figure of Zhang Zhi and displayed it like a prey in a certain hall to commemorate his bravery.
If we had won that battle, Zhang Shuai would have peeled off Yunzheng's human skin to make a drum and used his skull to make a drinking vessel."
Liu Wenchun said with a smile: "That's a matter for a big shot. I'm just a little shot. I'm still a prisoner. I just need to say what the general likes to hear."
Li Qing sat on a camel, held the mute girl in his arms and said with a smile: "If you win, I won't kill you. Rebuild Lanzhou City quickly. I will come back again."
The interest was gone, and Li Qing no longer had the desire to kill. Although if he personally led the remaining soldiers into Lanzhou, it would be easy to kill all the remaining Lanzhou people. Without the resistance of the Song army, the people would just
Just a lamb to be slaughtered.
Liu Wenchun sent Li Qing away with his hands, and sat on the sand as if his spine had been ripped out, looking at the ruins of Lanzhou City and crying...
"What are you doing all this for?" Liu Wenchun, who was about to faint from crying, roared towards the sky.
No one wants Lanzhou City. Li Qing has no interest in Lanzhou City at all. This means that the Xixia people have no intention of attacking the Song Dynasty from Hexi. The Song Dynasty military has not sent a large army so far, which shows that they also think that the Xixia people will not
Attack the Song Dynasty from here.
Qingcheng is just around the corner. This city was built by Di Qing. It is two hundred miles east of Lanzhou. There are 6,000 Song Dynasty Imperial Guards stationed there, but no one pays attention to Lanzhou. It is like a desert.
The forgotten land.
Liu Wenchun struggled to stand up. After wiping away his tears, the raging anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed. There was a beacon tower beside the Yellow River. Liu Wenchun originally planned to light the beacon when the war started, because he could not see through it.
Because of this, I have tolerated it until now.
They found dead wood from the ditch and piled it into a big pile. Then they took out the fire sticks and ignited the dead wood. After the flames burned, they threw the camel dung on the ground into the fire. Then, raging black smoke came from the river.
rise.
After a while, the soldiers on the beacon tower also lit the beacon fire. Soon, the beacon fire rushed along the Yellow River towards the Central Plains.
On Bingchen day, the smoke rises, the official salary is empty, and the treasury is empty, which is a sign that the couple will lose money! (To be continued)
