Chapter 239 Leaving the Valley

Youxiang Valley is surrounded by mountains, with a large pond in the middle. Water from two small streams collects into the pond and then flows out toward the southeast corner.

Peach and willow trees grow along the edge of the pond, with their branches and leaves swaying against the water.

At this time, Mulan and Yang Shucheng were sitting by the pond fishing.

The cool breeze is blowing, the willows are swaying gently, the green grass is green in the distance, the green mountains are rolling on the horizon, and there are two teal ducks swimming leisurely on the water.

Suddenly, the float moved, Yang Shucheng pulled it suddenly, and a crucian carp landed in the grass on the bank with a silver line. The two people hurriedly ran over, caught the crucian carp, tied it up with wicker sticks, and put it in the pond.

I spent an afternoon fishing and caught two strings of fish.

At this time, the setting sun cast a golden light on the water.

The two of them packed up their things and returned to the hut. One cut open the fish and the other started a firewood stove. Soon the aroma filled the hut.

Under the grape trellis, the moonlight was shining softly, the insects in the grass nearby were chirping, and there were a few frogs croaking in the distance.

Put tonight's dishes under the grape trellis. There are fish, a hare that I shot a few days ago, and a bottle of wine. Pour the wine in, and the two of them drink and eat.

It was late at night, the moon was setting in the west, and the two of them were putting away the dishes. Go back inside.

Yang Shucheng was lying on the bed, thinking that this was a paradise. What did the heroes competing for hegemony outside the mountains have to do with him?

But he also thought that his sister Yang Yan had not been found, and his father's revenge had not been avenged. Living here by yourself, living happily, can you really escape everything? Can you really feel at ease?

After living in Youxiang Valley for seven or eight days, Yang Shucheng had no choice but to harden his heart and say goodbye to Mulan.

Mulan was not sad, as if she had known that this day would come and she was ready.

She just led Yang Shucheng's horse back from the hillside, then went to the house to collect Yang Shucheng's clothes to dry, folded them on the bed, and put them in the bag.

Mulan handed the baggage to Yang Shucheng and waited for him to set off.

Yang Shucheng said: "I will be back."

"I know." She said softly.

Yang Shucheng suddenly felt why his heart was so hard, and he really wanted to turn around and stop leaving.

However, everything was irreversible, and Yang Shucheng only comforted himself with the fact that he had an old mother at home.

The two walked out of Youxiang Valley and walked on the path. A little yellow bird followed them.

After walking out of the trail, it was already seven or eight miles away from Youxiang Valley. Yang Shucheng did not ask Mulan to go back, and Mulan had no intention of going back. He kept walking forward with Yang Shucheng.

After walking another seven or eight miles, they came to the main road and had to say goodbye.

Yang Shucheng said: "Mu Lan, please go back. Maybe I will come back in a few months."

Mulan said: "I'm fine too, I'll see you off later."

Yang Shucheng said: "You can't follow me back to Junlv Ban River. The scenery there is no less than Youxiang Valley. If you are not used to living there, that place is very big. You can choose a better place to live."

Mulan said: "I have been in the Dabie Mountains since I was a child. I am very familiar with this place and can no longer live without it. You can go with peace of mind and leave me alone."

Yang Shucheng wanted to comfort her, but he thought it would be better not to comfort her with a few empty words.

The two of them walked on the road for more than ten miles without realizing it. At this time, they were walking in a large canyon, heading uphill.

At this time, I heard the sound of killing on the other side of the slope.

The two men hurriedly ran up the hillside and looked down the slope. Sure enough, they saw two groups of people killing each other lively.

On one side were Qing soldiers, you could tell by their costumes, on the other side were people wearing various costumes, but Yang Shucheng recognized them.

Because their leader is Chen Jiagui.

Chen Jiagui led people to kill Mulan's family and burn down her Xiaoyao Villa.

I wonder if Mulan still holds a grudge?

Yang Shucheng looked at Mulan.

Mulan immediately understood what Yang Shucheng meant, and said slowly: "It's been so long, and I don't have any hatred in my heart anymore, not to mention that my godfather has done something outrageous."

Yang Shucheng said: "These are the Qing soldiers. They came all the way south and burned many villages and killed many ordinary people."

Mulan said: "If you want to help him, just help him."

Yang Shucheng said: "You won't blame me?"

Mulan said: "Although I live in seclusion in Youxiang Valley, I often go out of the valley and know how powerful the Qing soldiers are. I will also help you kill the Qing soldiers."

Only then did Yang Shucheng feel relieved.

It turned out that Chen Jiagui had become powerful before and captured several counties around Xinyang. He also had thousands of troops and thought that he could separate the area and become a grass-head king.

Unexpectedly, the Qing soldiers went south, attacked several counties, and drove Chen Jiagui out of the city. He was unable to survive and had to retreat to Xiaoyao Villa. However, he couldn't stand the Qing soldiers burning, killing and looting, so he went out to harass the Qing troops from time to time.

The Qing army couldn't bear it anymore and had to mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress Chen Jiagui.

These Qing troops were all brave and good at fighting, but Chen Jiagui was unable to defeat him, so he withdrew from Xiaoyao Villa and came all the way to the south of Dabie Mountain.

Seeing their victory, the Qing army wanted to completely eliminate Chen Jiagui and avoid future troubles, so they led their troops to pursue Chen Jiagui.

On this day, the Qing army received news about Chen Jiagui and set up an ambush here. As expected, when Chen Jiagui led his men, they were surrounded and killed by Qing soldiers.

At this time, Chen Jiagui had only two to three hundred men, while the Qing soldiers and the surrendered Ming army totaled seven to eight hundred men.

Chen Jiagui didn't care about the Ming army, but the Qing army drove the Ming soldiers to the front. They stood on the outside and just shot arrows.

In this way, Chen Jiagui had to deal with the Ming army and beware of the Qing's arrows. Therefore, dozens of his men on his side were soon stabbed and fell to the ground. For a moment, screams could be heard.

According to the situation, Chen Jiagui was extremely difficult to deal with, so he had to tell his subordinates that it was important to escape quickly.

But the Ming army was holding them back inside, and Qing soldiers were shooting arrows from the outside. It was impossible to escape.

He had no choice but to turn around and fight with the Ming army. But there are fewer and fewer people on our side.

At the critical moment, Yang Shucheng and Miss Mulan rushed down from the hillside.

Yang Shucheng and Yang Shucheng also understood the situation. They bypassed this group of fighting people and ran towards the Qing soldiers.

When the Qing soldiers saw the two men running towards them, they knew they were powerful and turned their arrows to shoot at them.

Chen Jiagui was also a powerful figure. When he saw that the threat of Yujian was greatly reduced, he shouted loudly and led his men to fight with the Ming soldiers.

These Ming soldiers were all afraid of death. Where was this group of wolves and tigers, they were chased by Chen Jiagui and others, who chopped melons and vegetables, and fled one after another.

Seeing that the Qing general was about to succeed, he was unexpectedly disturbed by Yang Shucheng and the two men who broke in halfway. He became angry and shot at the two men together.

The two men hurriedly waved their swords to deflect the flying arrows. For a moment, arrows like locusts were blocked at the feet of the two men and fell to the ground.

But the feather arrows were powerful, but the two of them couldn't move forward one step.

Over there, the Qing generals drove the Ming army towards Chen Jiagui.

The two sides are fighting in one place, fighting to the death. Victory, defeat, and life or death depend on this moment.

Soon, people on both sides fell to the ground with blood spurting out like straw. Blood was already flowing everywhere.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Yang Shucheng hurriedly performed Taiqing Qinggong. The Qinggong unfolded like a gust of wind, flying a few steps east and west, rushing towards the Qing army's position like a swirl.
