Datang beauty walk

Qing hides in the distance, and occasionally sees minions in black walking through the mountainside.After seeing the general shape of the mountain and the road, she took out the dry food she had prepared earlier, filled her belly, and then leaned against the rocks to rest.

After she rested her exhaustion, she took out the sword she was wearing and sneaked up the path into the mountain.Not long after, four minions with knives suddenly jumped out from her side, blocked her and shouted:

"who?"

Qiqing looked at the soldiers of different heights in front of him, and said angrily:

"Hand over Tanniang!"

How did the minions know who Dan Niang was? They thought it must be a woman named "Dan Niang" who they robbed up the mountain, so they laughed, and one of the minions said casually:

"Danniang? Haha... Danniang has become the wife of our village master, do you want to go up and do it, or do you want to have a cup of wedding wine?"

"Haha..." The other minions laughed loudly.

Qiqing was furious when he heard this, and he didn't allow them to say any more. He raised his sword and stabbed at them, stabbing two of them down at once. Seeing this, the other two ran up the mountain, shouting as they ran:

"It's not good, someone has broken into the mountain, hurry up and strike the gong!"

Qi Qing ran after the two men, stabbed another one to death with a sword, and the one who ran faster in front turned around the corner of the mountain.Qiqing chased after her, didn't take a few steps, and shouted, more than 30 people surrounded her, and they raised their knives to slash at her.

At this time, Qiqing was fearless, she let go of her skills and fought with all the minions, and two moves ended the lives of five minions.

Seeing this, the other minions knew that the visitor was not kind, so they didn't dare to step forward easily, and dealt with it carefully.Qiqing greeted these 30 people with swords among the trees on the hillside. His body was like a nimble white-faced jade fox, jumping up and down and swinging his sword freely.

A young general, seeing that everyone was no match for her, fell down one by one, ran away and reported to the mountain:

"Report—report to the village master. A woman came down from the mountain. She killed more than a dozen of us in a row. She also said that we should hand over Danniang, or else we will bloodbath Heilongzhai, leaving no one behind!"

This tall and burly head of the Black Dragon Village was holding a wine bottle and a wine cup, threatening Danniang in the cave, wanting Danniang to drink with him, but Danniang refused to do so.

When the village owner was at his wit's end, he heard the report from the little general, put the wine bottle on the case, and said:

"Tan Niang? Who is Tan Niang? Beat the drum, let the brothers go down the mountain with me, and capture that woman."

As the village owner said, he led more than 100 minion soldiers and hurried away.

☆, in Heilongzhai

Danniang knew that it was Qiqing who came, and she felt hot, and then she became worried again, and said in her heart:

"Qiqing, why did you come to save me alone? Don't you know how powerful the bandits are? I was happy that you escaped, but I didn't want you to come here to throw yourself into the trap. I don't regret dying, so how can I bear you? Follow along to die.

Qiqing, why are you so stupid!Why are you here?There are so many thieves, can you go back safely when you come? ……How to do it?Are we both going to die here today?

You shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't have come to save me. I was determined to die, but now I just want you to leave here alive and live a peaceful life. "

Danniang was so anxious that she was restless, there were minions guarding the cave door, and she couldn't get out even a step.

When Danniang was worrying about Qiqing who came up the mountain, she suddenly heard someone talking outside, her heart immediately became tense, and her eyes were only on the entrance of the cave.After a while, a man came in, dressed in a green robe, wearing soap shoes, about thirty years old, with a thin face.

Although the man's clothes and expression were quite different from those of the other robbers on the mountain, Tanniang still stepped back in horror and looked at the coming man warily.

"Miss, don't panic. Zhou has no malicious intentions. May I ask you, have you ever sold embroidered clothes to Zhangqianhu's 'Fushun Silk Shop' in Luoyang City two or three months ago?"

Tan Niang looked at the man she didn't know, and nodded.

"A few days ago, I met the girl once in Luoyang City. I learned that the girl is exquisite in embroidery. I only regret that I never met again. Don't worry, girl, Zhou will definitely try to rescue you." The man said gently.

Danniang heard that he had seen her, but she didn't know if it was true or not.However, she did sell the embroidered clothes she made at the "Fushun Silk Village" in Luoyang City, so she is skeptical.She stood by the table and said:

"Thank you, may I ask, has the woman who came down from the mountain just now been captured?"

"I didn't go down the mountain, and I didn't see the woman's face. I heard from the soldiers that she was injured and fled. Do you know her?"

Dan Niang nodded again.

"Could it be that you are Tanniang?"

"I am, she is here to save me." Dan Niang said, she was thinking in her heart: "Is Qiqing injured? Is she seriously injured?"

This man surnamed Zhou was not actually from Heilongzhai. He was a counselor of General Li under King Qin's tent. His surname was Zhou and his name was Zhongxian. His family was in Xin'an County not far from Luoyang City.He and the head of the Black Dragon Village were sworn brothers in the early years.At that time, Zhang Qiang, his sworn brother, was still a son of a rich family. Later, Zhang Qiang's family had an accident, and he became a bandit.

Zhou Zhongxian recently heard that his sworn brother Zhang Qiang became the king of the mountain in Heilongzhai, Baiwa Mountain.So a few days ago, he recommended himself in front of General Li, and wanted to go up the mountain to persuade the village owner to submit to the Tang army.

But when he arrived at Heilongzhai, he realized that this village advocated masts, and he was no longer the cowardly son he had befriended many years ago.Zhou Zhongxian went up to the mountain for a few days, and saw that Heilongzhai was doing mischief and harming the people.

Therefore, Zhou Zhongxian gave up his plan to recruit Zhang Qiang and the thieves from Heilongzhai to surrender to the Tang army.Secretly informed the Tang Army who had arrived near Luoyang City of the situation on Baiwa Mountain, and made a close appointment with General Li Zhen to find an opportunity to destroy Heilongzhai.

Yesterday, Zhou Zhongxian was secretly checking the layout of the checkpoint in the mountain at the gate of the village. He saw the village owner leading more than 100 minion soldiers down the mountain, saying that he wanted to make a fortune for the last time.

Zhou Zhongxian hurriedly sent this news, but at that time, General Li Zhen was accompanying King Qin to fight Wang Shichong outside Luoyang City, so he had no time to take care of it.Therefore, the plan to destroy Heilongzhai was abandoned this time.

After noon, Zhang Qiang returned to the mountain with more than a dozen women with the looted gold and silver property.He rewarded all the other women to the leaders, and only kept one beauty for himself.

Zhou Zhongxian recognized Danniang at a glance. More than two months ago, he was drinking tea with Zhang Qianhu in the silk shop of Zhang Qianhu in Luoyang City. Two young women came into the shop and sold some newly embroidered clothes to Zhang Qianhu's silk shop.One of the women is the beauty snatched by the village owner.

At that time in the store, Zhou Zhongxian had asked Zhang Qianhu's clerk about Danniang in a whisper, and the clerk told him: They have been here three times, and these clothes were made by the woman in the white floral skirt.

Zhou Zhongxian still remembers seeing Danniang in Zhang Qianhu's silk shop, but he never saw them again after that time.Unexpectedly, today the woman was robbed by their Black Dragon Village and brought to the mountain.

Outside the gate of the village, he recognized that the woman who was snatched by these bandits to be Mrs. Yazhai was the woman he had seen in the silk shop.So he concentrated his mind on Tanniang, while watching Danniang, he also carefully observed the actions of those minions guarding Danniang.

At the celebration banquet in Heilongzhai that day, Zhou Zhongxian kept toasting Zhang Qiang, saying:

"Brother Zhang is truly blessed to have such a peerless beauty. I have traveled all over the world, and I have never seen anyone as beautiful and charming as this."

Zhou Zhongxian's words were praising Danniang, but Zhang Qiang was elated when he heard it, he laughed twice, and drank the strong wine in the wine cup in one gulp.Zhou Zhongxian filled him with wine again and said:

"It's just that I'm worried, brother, I can't really enjoy this beauty!"

Zhang Qiang stared at him, put down the wine cup, and asked:

"How do you say this?"

Zhou Zhongxian stroked the two new black beards around his mouth, and said:

"My little brother sees that this woman has a strong character. If I take possession of her by force, I am afraid that she will not live on in the world and will do extreme things. In that case, how will I receive the blessing of this beauty? I say this for my brother's sake." consider."

"Your brother is right. The few beauties I got before are also looking for death, and I have nothing to do. I don't know what your brother has in mind?"

"It's hard to say, and it's easy to say that it's not hard. As long as my brother treats her with courtesy, and persuades her with good words, and tells her that he will join the Tang army, and the world will be peaceful in the future, he will also get an official position. You will be able to seal your wife's shade at that time. If you say it this way, how can she not be tempted? If you move your heart every day, in less than ten days, she will be grateful for your brother's love and obey you. I'm just afraid that my brother will not be able to bear this. How many days!" Zhou Zhongxian said slowly.

"Cough! For this beauty, let alone ten days, I can wait 20 days. I am a rough man, and I don't know how to coax a woman. When the time comes, I will ask my virtuous brother to persuade her."

"This, my brother is willing to help." Zhou Zhongxian said hastily.

"Okay, haha..." Zhang Qiang then found another woman to drink and have fun.

Today, after sobering up, the village owner really listened to Zhou Zhongxian's words, and talked kindly to Danniang in the cave, and tried to persuade her with brain-wrenching brains.However, Danniang remained unmoved by him. When Zhang Qiang was in a dilemma, Qiqing came up to the mountain.

Zhou Zhongxian went into the cave to see Danniang when the village lord took the soldiers out, and told Danniang that he would try to rescue her.

The village owner had learned the lesson from the past, and was afraid of losing another beauty accidentally, so he waited patiently. He not only asked Zhou Zhongxian to come to persuade Danniang every day, but he himself took out the good treasure he had snatched before, to come To lure Tan Niang.As for Danniang, she was temporarily saved because of Zhou Zhongxian's dealings and rescues by the village owner's side this week.

After five days, Tang Jun had the opportunity to attack Longzhai.Before the Tang army came to attack Longzhai, Zhou Zhongxian had secretly sent out the detailed inside information of Heilongzhai in Baiwa Mountain, and told Li Zhen, the general of the Tang army.

When Li Zhen sent people to attack the mountain, Zhou Zhongxian cooperated with the Tang army inside and outside, and caught the thieves in Heilongzhai by surprise, and wiped out all the thieves in one day.The Tang army effortlessly annihilated 370 or eight thieves without injuring a single soldier, and none of them was released. Heilongzhai was uprooted from then on.

Zhou Zhongxian took Danniang away from Heilongzhai, came to a safe place, and asked:

"Tan Niang, where is your home?"

Dan Niang bent down and saluted, saying:

"Thank you, Mr. Lang, for saving my little girl from the deep pool. My little girl lives in Qixian Village, north of Luoyang city."

"Okay, I'll take you back."

☆, in the mountain temple ([-])

When Danniang came to the door of Qixian Village, all she saw was ruins, and the house had been burned down.Not only Qiqing's house was burned down, but most of the houses of several neighbors who were connected to Qiqing's house were also burned down.

I couldn't find Qiqing, I don't know where Qiqing has gone now, and I didn't see the neighbors Ergui and the others. The village was silent. When Danniang was standing there looking around in surprise, she saw Fan Heming coming from the north of the village. Er's family of three—Fan and Er's couple and their nine-year-old son.

In the village, Tanniang is quite familiar with Fan Heer's family, because Qiqing's family's few acres of land were leased to Fan Heer to cultivate.In the past, Danniang often heard Lu Xiaotian praise that Fan Heer was very capable in doing farm work and able to endure hardships, saying that he was as strong as a dragon and a tiger.His wife is fat and strong, and also a good hand at work, not weaker than those men in the village.But after seeing each other for a few days, the body of their family seemed to have lost weight as if they had taken off a few sets of winter clothes, and their complexions looked very sallow.

Seeing that they each had a package on their arms, Tanniang stepped forward and said:

"Aunt, where are you going? Have you seen Qiqing?"

Fan Heer's wife looked at Danniang with a suspicious look on her face, and did not answer her question.

Fan Heer walked up to his wife and said to Tanniang:

"This village can't live anymore. So many people have died. I often hear people say that there are ghosts at night. The children and mothers are terrified all the time. We are going to get out of here and go to the city to find something to eat. Dan Mother, tell Qiqing's father that we will no longer rent and plant his fields in the future."

After Fan Heer finished speaking, he walked forward with his wife and son, and Danniang hurriedly asked again:

"And Second Uncle, have you seen Qiqing?"

"Qiqing? I didn't see it. Oh, I remembered. The morning after the bandits came to rob the village, we saw Qi leaving the village early in the morning. After that, none of us saw her."

"Then do you know about Aunt Ergui's situation?" Danniang hurriedly asked again.

"After her house was burned down, she disappeared. Maybe she went to seek refuge with her daughter, Cuizhu." After finishing speaking, Fan Heer took his wife and children to the city.

"Daniang, your house is too ruined to live in. You should go back with me first! We will look for your family slowly later." Zhou Zhongxian walked up to Danniang and said.

Qiqing went to Heilongzhai and was injured when he came to rescue her. Now her life and death are unknown, Danniang feels sad when she thinks about it.She knew that before Qiqing went out that day, he didn't bring much money with him, and later he escaped with injuries, so she was very worried.Looking at the ruins, she could no longer shelter here, so she had to leave temporarily with Zhou Zhongxian, and went to Zhou Zhongxian's home in Xin'an County, which was dozens of miles away.

And five days have passed, and there is still no news about Qi Qing.Danniang didn't know where Qiqing was, and was always worried about her.

Nine days after returning to the village last time, when Danniang came to Qixian Village for the second time, what she saw before her eyes was the same as when she came last time. two people.

At this time, Danniang suddenly saw Cuizhu's third aunt walking towards this side tremblingly, she hurried forward and said:

"Auntie, are you feeling unwell?"

The third aunt glanced at her with dark eyes, continued to walk towards her own house, and said:

"I just got back from taking three doses of medicine from the doctor in the town. Are you okay, Daniang?"

"Auntie, have you seen Qiqing?" Danniang asked.

Third Aunt looked at her indifferently, shook her head, and said:

"Qiqing? I didn't see her."

Before, she was a very shrewd woman, but now she is dragging her sickly body, carrying a broken basket with three paper packages of medicine she hopes will cure her disease, walking listlessly towards her home go.

Danniang knocked on the door of another family, but there was still no news of Qiqing.Zhou Zhongxian who came here with Danniang came over and said to her:

"Danniang, I'm going to Chang'an tomorrow, are you willing to go with me? Your family, after I arrive in Chang'an, I will continue to send people to inquire about it."

At this time, Danniang had nowhere to go, so she had to leave with Zhou Zhongxian again.Then the next day, I went to Chang'an with Zhou Zhongxian's family.

On the afternoon when Qiqing entered Baiwa Mountain, broke into Heilongzhai, and went to rescue Danniang, she was besieged on the mountainside by more than 200 mobs from Heilongzhai.She fought fiercely with those thieves for a long time, although she killed and injured dozens of minions, but she was alone and weak, unable to rescue Danniang from the wolf den, and even she didn't even see Danniang's face.

Later, her own physical strength was slowly exhausted by the enemy bandits, and she was seriously wounded by knives and guns in many places.Outnumbered, she spotted a gap, jumped out of the encirclement, leaned on a vine, crossed a mountain stream more than two feet wide, and escaped from Heilongzhai.

However, due to excessive bleeding and disorientation, when she ran down the mountain dizzily, she almost fell into a coma several times. Fortunately, a kind peasant woman took her in and saved her from death.

Due to the hot weather, the wound she suffered from the knife and gun became inflamed and festered, coupled with overwork, she developed a high fever, which continued to persist.She herself stayed in that kind woman's house for seven or eight days, and when her health improved a little and she was able to walk around, she hurried out again to look for Tanniang.

But after searching for so long, she searched all over Baiwa Mountain, as well as the nearby hills and villages, but she couldn't find Danniang.She also ran back to her home in Qixian Village and asked the people in the village, but they didn't see Danniang either.After that, she went to all the places that Tanniang might go, but there was no sign of Tanniang.

"Could it be that Danniang is no longer alive?" Thinking of this, Qi Qing shuddered all over.She tried to tighten the clothes on her body, but the thin clothes on her body couldn't increase her temperature at all.

She was exhausted and couldn't find Tanniang.Her heart, like a bowstring stretched to the extreme, gradually lost its tension and shrank.

Now, it is hot May, and the pomegranates are in full bloom.Above, the bright white sun shone directly on top of her head.But Qiqing only felt that the wild pomegranate flowers on the side of the mountain road and the sun above her head didn't have a trace of temperature at this time, but just shone on her so dazzlingly, like everything around her, silent but noisy.

Yes, she was the only one, walking alone on this mountain road, there was only one person, as if she was the only person alive in this world.

Everything around her lost its color, and she felt a deep loneliness.She didn't know where she should go, but she didn't want to stop her tired feet.She kept walking, and a voice kept calling in her heart, which was her voice calling for Tanniang.

A high stone gate blocked her way forward, Qiqing stopped and looked up, it was a mountain temple.The wooden temple door was so dilapidated that it had cracked many cracks, and a fist could be poked through the wide part.Looking into the temple through the wide gap in the door, the old walls and tiles inside seem to have not been repaired for a long time.

Although the temple is very old, it is very large.In this place with few people on all sides, this temple seems to be the master of one side, mysterious and oppressive.

Qiqing walked up the stone steps, pushed open the heavy temple door, and walked in.

The inside of the temple is still as dilapidated as the outside: the white stone statues are covered with thick dust; the yellow curtains, most of which have faded, are broken into strands of cloth. The strips are hung in the hall together with the spider webs; the ground is full of potholes, and the square stone bricks that were previously laid are either missing or damaged.

Qi Qing sat down beside the pillars covered with a pile of hay, and rested with his back against the pillars.She was hungry and her throat was dry, but she wanted to move, she didn't even think about looking for food, she just closed her eyes wearily and leaned there.

Just when Qiqing was about to fall asleep in a daze, she was awakened by the crowing of a few horses.She opened her eyes suddenly and listened carefully.Based on the sound of horseshoes and footsteps coming from outside the temple gate, it can be guessed that there are about 30 to [-] people who came.

"Could it be a bandit?" Qi Qing thought in his heart, and quickly jumped behind the statue and hid himself.

After a while, two men came in, looked around the temple, and then walked out of the temple.Not long after, I heard voices again, as if several people poured in from outside the temple gate.

Qiqing looked out through the window pane of the main hall, and the few people who came in from outside the temple did not lead their horses.Observing their clothes, they are different from the bandits in Heilongzhai. Four of them are wearing military uniforms, the leader is wearing that bright yellow armor, and the other two are wearing ordinary robes.As for those who did not enter the temple, there were more than 20 people standing outside the temple gate, and their clothes were also very mixed.Look at the four people in the temple who are wearing soldiers' clothes and trousers, they are also unevenly tied.

"The bandits are mixed with officers and soldiers, and they don't know what they are doing?" Qi Qing thought to himself.

☆, in the mountain temple ([-])

Those people did not enter the hall at that time, but sat down on the steps outside the hall with their backs.Looking from behind the statues in the temple, they could only see their backs and profiles, but they heard the man in yellow armor say:

"You really see clearly that the person here is Li Yuan's daughter?"

"That's right. We were very close when we were fighting her Detachment of Women, and I saw it clearly. After my brother was killed, I never forgot to avenge my brother. How could I forget her appearance!

Although today, she changed her face and was not wearing a general's uniform, but I recognized her on the street at a glance.I quietly followed them until they entered the inn for dinner, and I hurried over to report to you. I was worried that I would not be able to meet you on the mountain in time, so I let them run away. I didn't expect to meet the general on the way you. said another man in earth-brown clothes.

"How many troops does she have?" asked the man in the yellow armor.

"There is no large group of people, there are only eight men and women, and they are all in disguise." The man in earth brown clothes replied.

General Huang Kai stood up excitedly and said:

"Okay! God is helping me. Li Shimin's army captured my city and killed my soldiers. Even if I can't avenge this revenge with him, I can take revenge with his Li family to vent my hatred!"

"General, I heard that Li Shimin's elder sister, Princess Pingyang, is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also good at arranging troops. Since the Li family rebelled, her ability to lead troops to fight and conquer cities is not inferior to that of Li Shimin. Their Li family can have today. She is also responsible for three points of the world. However, she was supposed to be guarding the rear of the northern part of Shanxi, but she suddenly appeared here today for some reason. I think you should be careful, General!" The other was wearing a gray-green shirt. The person came over and interjected.

The person who was called the general sat down again after hearing what the person behind him said.

Seeing that General Huang Kaijia was doubtful and could not make up his mind, the messenger in earth brown clothes said again:

"According to my younger brother's observation, the group of them is traveling back with light clothes, so I think that Princess Pingyang didn't come to help Li Shimin in the war, but maybe she was thinking of her husband and secretly left her camp lady to be imprisoned here. The general doesn't have to Worry."

"Really?" General Huang Kaijia regained his energy when he heard this.

"The general doesn't know, this princess consort is surnamed Chai, and she is now leading troops under Li Shimin's account. The couple often get together and leave more often. Looking at the whereabouts of this princess, I think her husband has come here all the way because of illness or something. Visiting relatives. Now I think the meeting is over, and I want to return to her camp. General, you must not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" The reporter said.

"Let's not care about the reason why she came here. Li Shimin took my city and left me with nowhere to go. I have nowhere to avenge this revenge. How many people are there today? I'm afraid she won't succeed? Look, I I must use this pair of copper hammers in my hand to take her life and avenge me and the Li family with her!"

"The general is right. With your bravery and might, what is a woman? Today, if they return to Shanxi, they must pass this way. If we lay an ambush here, we will definitely capture her alive. Time is running out. I hope the general prepares early!" The messenger urged.

"Okay, first send two people to drive the horses to the nearby forest and hide them. You, go to the front intersection to watch, and when they approach here, send a message immediately. The rest of the people, follow me to hide outside the temple, I want to catch the turtle in the urn." !” General Huang Kaijia ordered the people around him.

"it is good!"

"Yes!"

After the discussion, those few people left the temple gate, and dozens of people outside the temple gate flocked away.

In an instant, the inside and outside of the temple became quiet again. Qiqing came out from behind the statue, fell to the ground, and sat on the pile of grass where he had been sitting.

Time passed by, and the sun shone in from the window, shining on her body and face.She felt that the light made her feel uncomfortable, so she couldn't help standing up and walking towards the entrance of the main hall, she wanted to leave here.

However, before taking a few steps, she stopped.Because, she heard the sound of horseshoes and footsteps outside the temple gate again.

"Let's wait for these people to leave before leaving." Thinking in his heart, he had already hidden behind the statue.

After stopping for a while, the temple door opened, and several people approached, Qi Qing was too lazy to look outside.However, hearing the footsteps walking into the hall, a woman's soft yet majestic voice sounded:

"Today, let's rest here. We will go on our way early tomorrow morning."

"Your Highness, it's so hot outside on the mountain road, but it's really cool inside this temple. Why didn't we see such a temple when we came here?" A man said in a clear voice.

"Wang Ziqiang, I said that there is a temple on this mountain, but you still don't believe it, will you believe it now?" came another man's shrill voice.

"Han Liu, you are not a local, how do you know there is a temple in this mountain?" It was a woman's voice full of anger.

"This temple is in front of the mountain. When we came here, we took a detour from the back of the mountain. The temple wall was hidden by trees and rocks at a high place, so we didn't see it. When we walked out of the mountain, we walked for about five miles. On the way, I turned around and saw an eagle’s wing resting on the rock at the mountain ridge? Looking closely, it was a roof and the row of green tiles, so I guessed that this was not a temple.”

"Your eyes are really scary. We walked so far, and you can see the tiles on the roof of the temple clearly. What kind of eyes are you? You won't go through the wall and see through the back of other people's walls, right? "The man with a clear voice said again.

"My eyes can see very far away. Didn't you already know that? But I don't have the ability to see through walls!" said Han Liu.

"Your Highness, it's still early, how about I catch some pheasants and hares nearby and prepare dinner for you?" The clear voice moved closer to the statue.

"No need, Ziqiang, the current situation is not stable, and the place is not completely settled yet, so it's better to be careful in everything. Besides, there is still a god, how can you use meat casually here? Just be casual for dinner. , just fill your hunger with the dry food you brought.”

Qi Qing said, this woman is Princess Pingyang.

Another woman at the door said in a somewhat high-pitched voice:

"Your Highness is right. We have eaten in that small shop not long ago. We don't feel hungry yet, but we are a little thirsty. I just saw a few fruits growing on that tree in this temple. Han Liu, you can climb Go up the tree and pick those few fruits for everyone to quench their thirst, Ziqiang, save your mountain products for later eating!"

"Okay, after I get back to the camp, I'll roast pheasants for you. Since everyone feels thirsty now, Han Liu, you can go climb trees and pick fruits, and I'll go find some water for His Highness."

The prince Qiang had just finished speaking when he suddenly heard a shout outside the temple gate, a rough voice shouted:

"Come on! Surround them and don't let any of them go!"

Qiqing heard the voice, it was the shout of the armored general.

"not good!"

Princess Pingyang yelled and hurried to the gate of the palace.But I saw more than 30 people coming in from outside the temple gate, all of them armed with weapons.Judging from their posture, it seems that they have already ambushed here.

☆、Mountain Temple ([-])

When Princess Pingyang's male and female guards saw many people suddenly rushing into the temple gate, they all moved quickly and stood beside the princess, holding their weapons secretly, guarding her side vigilantly.

I saw that Wang Ziqiang, who was talking to Princess Pingyang just now, stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, we are just a few people on the road in a hurry, and we don't have any extra money on us. I would like to ask your Majesty to give us some convenience. When we have free time, we will come to honor your Majesty!"

"Hmph! I'm here to take your life, who wants money?"

"We are just ordinary citizens, we have never met you and others, so why come here to claim our lives for no reason?" Wang Ziqiang asked again.

"Hmph! Don't pretend, you Li family members, no matter if they are men or women, masters or slaves, I will never let go of any of them I meet!"

"Who are you?" Princess Pingyang who was watching quietly asked.

"Hey! I am Wu Peng, the Thunder Hand!"

"Wu Peng?!" The princess and the people around her were all shocked.

"It turned out to be Wu Peng, the thunderbolt hand. I heard that a few months ago, when my younger brother Qin Wang broke Zhao County, you, the deputy guard of the city, fled in chaos. You didn't want to escape to Luoyang, so you hid here.

Now that you know who I am, you should also be aware of the current situation.Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, was tyrannical and immoral, wasting people and money, causing people all over the world to boil with resentment and wars.The power of the world in the Sui Dynasty was exhausted, and my father, the emperor, took it on his behalf, in accordance with the will of heaven and in response to the hearts of the people.You old generals of the Sui Dynasty should recognize the general trend of the world and return to my Tang Dynasty as soon as possible.Why are you so obsessed with your obsession and still making trouble here? "

The princess's tone was tactful, and she was so tongue-in-cheek because she also heard something about Wu Peng when she came here this time——

This Wu Peng used to be a fierce general of the Sui Dynasty, and he was so powerful that he could lift a cauldron of hundreds of catties.The copper hammer in his hand moves as fast as a whirlwind, and no one can stop him. On the battlefield not long ago, he used the copper hammer in his hand to kill several generals of King Qin.At that time, the soldiers under King Qin's tent were frightened when they heard Wu Peng's name.

Later, the king of Qin asked a powerful force under his command to deliberately show the illusion of defeat to the Sui army defending the city. Attacking from the back of the enemy army, the enemy army was unprepared and the formation was in chaos. The Tang army defeated the enemy army and further captured the city.

Seeing that his general was dead and the city was lost, Wu Peng fled with only a few people in front of the mighty Tang army.

Therefore, the princess spoke so carefully, because she was afraid of provoking him, and it would be difficult to deal with the two copper hammers in his hand.

"Whether the surname is Li or Wu in this world, let the hammer in my hand decide!"

Wu Peng, the thunder-running hand, yelled again, and swung two sledgehammers in his hand to hit the princess. The people standing beside the princess rushed up to block Wu Peng; Liao rushed up too.The two sides immediately fell into a chaotic fight.

Although there is a huge gap between the two sides, the people brought by Wu Peng are all strong and strong, like wolves and tigers, but looking at the people on the princess side, they are not ordinary people, the three men and four women Yes, their shots are fast and accurate, and everyone has no fear on their faces. They hold their own sharp knives to fight against Wu Peng and his party left and right. It can be seen that they are all people who have experienced battles.

If they fought like this, Princess Pingyang's subordinates would be able to defeat all these remnants and defeated bandits in a short while.It's just that the two sledgehammers that Ben Leishou Wu Peng used together weighed five or six hundred catties. Brain smeared.People on the side of the princess gradually became unable to fight against him.

That Wu Peng just spotted the princess and left the others to his subordinates. He used all his strength to force the princess step by step.

Princess Pingyang couldn't go head-to-head, and gradually retreated into the main hall. Qi Qing, who was hiding behind the statue, could clearly see the situation inside and outside the hall in the dark.Seeing that the princess's face was flushed and she was panting slightly, she was already exhausted.

The two of them fought in this hall, the man wielded a hammer and the woman wielded a sword, one was extremely strong and the other had limited strength, the fight between the two was like a strong wind blowing strong grass, and the grass was about to be blown off.Suddenly, the two big copper hammers that Wu Peng swung upwards struck him inward, and only a "bang" was heard. The movement of the princess's hand was a little slow, and the sword in her hand broke into two pieces instantly. Cut, a broken sword head fell to the ground.

Princess Pingyang was taken aback, and the subordinates of the princess who were fighting with the gang of defeated bandits outside shouted "Princess" when they saw this.However, they were surrounded by Wu Peng's men and couldn't get away for a while.

At this critical time, Princess Pingyang only felt a flash in front of her eyes, and a figure fell silently in front of her.

That Wu Peng was also taken aback by the sudden appearance of the person. When he saw that the person was a woman, he relaxed and called out "Come to die too!" Hammer, hit the other side's door.

Qiqing saw his sledgehammer falling towards her like a mountain top, she flicked lightly, and stepped aside.And just after she took a step away, there was another loud "bang", and the confession behind her was smashed in two by the copper hammer, and fell to the ground.At this time, Princess Pingyang has also retreated to the other side.

Seeing that he missed his blow, Wu Peng turned around and swung his left hammer at Qiqing, but his hammer was in vain. He expected that if the hammer hit, the opponent would definitely
