Everyone in Dafeng City gathered around Yang Tong's body, with gloomy expressions and mournful eyes.
On the side, there were corpses one after another being carried into the city by the people responsible for collecting them. At this moment, in front of the city gate of Gale City, there were already densely packed corpses. At a glance, it was shocking.
The sky has completely brightened up, but everyone in Gale City is in a gloomy mood.
"There are about 5,000 Yangshan disciples and soldiers recruited from the city who went out to fight, and probably less than half of them came back alive." Lu Shude walked tremblingly to Li Danqing and whispered beside him.
The old man's voice was choked with sobs, and there was a cry that was suppressed in his tone. The hand that handed over the roster was trembling.
Li Danqing stretched out his hand to take the roster, and when he saw the densely crossed names on it, his heart sank. But he had to look at Lu Shude and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir."
Lu Shude waved his hand: "The children are fighting hard in the front, and the old man can only collect the bodies in the back. This is hard work, but then I, Lu Shude, am not worthy of being a human being."
"I only regret that when I was young, I liked literature but not martial arts. I didn't have any cultivation skills. Otherwise, I would have followed the example of the old dean and went into battle to kill the enemy. Even if my body was wrapped in horse leather, it would be better than being here gnashing my teeth with hatred but unable to use it."
As Lu Shude said this, he turned his head and looked at Yang Tong's body aside, his eyes were red and his upper and lower lips were trembling.
Everyone's hearts trembled when they heard this, and they all lowered their eyebrows.
"Master said, the reason why Yangshan is Yangshan."
"There are sages who are not afraid of death, and the descendants are not afraid of difficulties. They are the ones who swear to protect the water and are willing to fight for the common people."
"Master has been pursuing the vision of reviving Yangshan all his life. In the end, he died fighting for Yangshan and for the people of Yingshui County. For Master, it was a worthy death."
At this time, a voice suddenly came, and Li Danqing turned around to look. It was He Feibai who was supported by Zhao Erbai and walked to the front of everyone. His face did not have the sad look that everyone imagined, but he looked calm.
It comforted everyone.
"Senior Brother He..." Liu Yanzhen blinked and wanted to say something but couldn't.
Seeing that the atmosphere on the scene was a bit solemn, Lu Ran quickly changed the subject: "By the way, where is the Qingyun Army? Didn't the dean go to rescue Red Fish City? How is the situation over there?"
As soon as these words came out, the place fell into a deadly silence.
Ning Xiu was alert and could sense something strange from everyone's reactions at a glance. She stepped forward and asked: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Isn't it rescued? We are gathering the army to support now.
, or from
Side harassment will increase the possibility of Qingyun Army breaking out?"
Faced with Ning Xiu's questions, Li Danqing didn't know how to answer for a while. Li Danqing's reaction in Ning Xiu's eyes only deepened the panic in Ning Xiu's heart. She quickly turned to look at Ning Jiu who was standing aside.
The fathers of these three people, like Ning Xiu's father Ning Huangji, all worked in the Qingyun Army. Naturally, Ning Xiu immediately thought of asking them what happened.
But when she looked around, she saw that the eyes of the three of them were swollen, and they had obviously cried hard.
Ning Xiu's face suddenly turned pale, her figure swayed, and she could hardly stand still: "What on earth! What on earth is going on!?"
She asked a little angrily.
"Long Tuo Yan Ya threatened the lives of fifty thousand people and forced the Qingyun Army to leave the city to fight." At this moment, Li Danqing suddenly spoke up. His voice was very low and calm, so calm that it made people feel deep in their hearts.
My hair is hairy and my spine feels chilly.
"Commander Ning and all the officers and men of the Qingyun Army cannot bear to see fifty thousand innocent people being tortured, so..."
"So I led my troops to fight, and all of them died on the battlefield, and no one survived..."
After saying these words, Ning Xiu could no longer stand up and stumbled to the ground. Xue Yun on the side quickly reached out to help her up, but the girl ignored Xue Yun who stretched out her hand and just slumped on the ground.
For a while, my eyes were dull, as if I was stuck in some memories.
"Sister Ning Xiu, don't be like this! Uncle Ning doesn't want to see you like this..." Hou Yu, who had the best relationship with Ning Xiu, stepped forward and tried hard to say something to comfort Ning Xiu.
But in the face of this important matter of life and death, all words seem a little pale.
She said indifferently, and couldn't say any more. She could only look at Ning Xiu with red eyes and worry.
This was destined to be a gloomy day for everyone in Gale City. Too many people died and too many things happened in just one day.
Ning Xiu's silence did not last long, and she quickly stood up on her own. Her eyes were a little red, but surprisingly she did not shed a single tear, but the hand holding the Qingyun Halberd continued to tremble slightly.
She looked at Li Danqing and asked: "My father... how many Youyun people have he killed?"
Li Danqing was stunned for a while, and then he said: "Three hundred and thirty-seven people, all of them are the elite of Youyun's elite, including five Youyun Tiger and Wolf General level commanders. Finally, it was Long Tuo Yanya himself.
It was only by taking action that Commander Ning was defeated."
"Did you count correctly?" Ning Xiu asked again, her face
Her expression remained calm, and it was impossible to see the sadness and joy in her heart at this moment.
"I counted them carefully one by one, and there are only a few missing." Li Danqing said firmly.
Ning Xiu smiled: "My father is still old. Back then, he single-handedly chopped off more than 600 thieves' heads outside Ma Tuo City. In less than twenty years, he only had more than 300 people, and he couldn't chop off more than 300 heads.
Moved……"
"He often said that if Youyun dared to attack again, he would chop off a thousand thieves' heads and hang them outside Ma Tuo City, so that the reputation of his Ninghuang Halberd would resound throughout the Langtu Grassland..."
After saying this, Ning Xiu smiled bitterly, looked at Li Danqing and said, "Unexpectedly, my father likes to dress up as a scholar. The person he admires the most is Ning Gui, the black-robed Confucian general who was the emperor during his reign.
Quan, he said that three generations back, his grandfather, my grandfather, and Ning Guiquan were cousins, so they always wanted to be a Confucian general like him. But he is a rough man at heart. He usually watches at home.
Reading, within half a quarter of an hour my buttocks are burning and I can’t sit still. I start dancing with knives and guns, and I’m not tired even after most of the day.”
"It's a pity that his wish to hang a thousand thieves' heads outside Ma Tuo City was not realized in the end..."
Ning Xiu scolded her father like a treasure, but as she spoke, her eyes became redder and redder, and the hand holding the halberd trembled more and more obviously.
At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out and took Ning Xiu's hand. Ning Xiu was stunned and turned to look at the man, only to see Xue Yun looking at her with a smile.
"Then let me help General Ning collect the remaining 600 heads. When Youyun is repelled, we will hang these thousand heads outside Ma Tuo City together!"
"Let all the northern barbarians know the reputation of Qingyun Army's Ninghuang Halberd!"
"Then I will cut off a thousand thieves' heads for my father! Let the northern barbarians know Yuchi Shang's name!" Yuchiwan stepped forward at that time and said in a deep voice.
"I want it too!" Luo Anan also stepped forward.
At this time, everyone also shouted in agreement, and for a while the crowd in Gale City became excited.
Li Danqing looked at the high-spirited people in front of him, and he understood that hatred will never be a good medicine to solve pain, but it is a bowl of strong wine that can temporarily relieve people's sorrows.
As for Dafeng City and Yingshui County in front of us.
The future is so far away that no one can imagine or see it.
In this case, then I will be drunk today...
If you have a grudge today, take revenge today!
After all, only ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Now they are not gentlemen, but just a group of desperate people...
