Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Luo courageously sat on the haystack, still feeling aggrieved, Yan Lang patted him behind him, causing him to cry out in pain: "Take it easy! You don't know that I just competed with the general? I was covered in injuries. Woolen cloth."

Yan Lang frowned slightly, he raised his hand as expected, and sat down beside him: "Are you angry with the general?"

Luo Yong glanced at him, and said a little dissatisfied: "I didn't blame the general for beating me, I just don't understand, people are dead, he has a limit to seeing things and thinking about others, the general is young and promising, he should be doing something big , instead of spending time on raising the horse, feed the horse personally, and take it out for a walk every day..."

Yan Lang pursed his lips and said: "The general just doesn't know how to express the regret of losing Yuwen Chengdu. He once had a chance to retain this feeling, but he chose to escape. He regrets it now, but that person will never be there again. Waiting for him right there."

It was rare for Luo Yong to listen to Yan Lang's words quietly, and fell into deep thought.

Yan Lang suddenly turned his head, looked at Luo Yong firmly and said: "Chief of the Cavalry Guard, if I confess to you like Yuwen Chengdu, will you refuse like the general?"

Luo Yong froze on the spot, blinked his eyes, his mind went blank, and he didn't react for a long time.

Just at this time, a low moan sound suddenly came from the grass not far away, Luo Yong woke up with a jolt, and ran towards the source of the sound without saying a word.

Pulled out a person from the tall grass, and said, "Why is it you again?"

What Luo Yong grabbed was none other than Shan Xiongxin's younger sister, Shan Yingying.When she was still in northern Hebei, Shan Yingying acted recklessly and trespassed on the barracks. She was caught by Luo Yong, and Luo Cheng ordered her to beat her up that time. Why didn't she learn her lesson and trespassed on the barracks again?

"Take...Take me to see Luo Cheng!" As soon as the words finished, the little girl fainted.Luo Yong hurriedly helped him up, and growled at Yan Lang, who was distracted by the sudden situation, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you come to help? Everyone is dizzy."

Yan Lang just ran forward and hugged her up. Seeing that the girl's clothes were in a mess and many places were scratched, he must have suffered a lot for coming all the way.

Yan Lang mourned silently in his heart while thinking, why did he recite it like that!Such a good opportunity was interrupted again. I have to ask the head of the cavalry guard again. He really doesn't know when he will be able to muster up his courage.

After Yan Lang carried him back to the city, Luo Cheng also heard the news from Luo Yong and rushed to the room.

After waiting for about half an hour, Shan Yingying woke up leisurely, and when she saw Luo Cheng sitting beside the bed, she burst into tears, hugged Luo Cheng's arm with both hands and said, "Brother Luo, please help my brother!" , now only you can save our family, Brother Luo, please..."

Seeing this posture, Luo Cheng's heart tightened.

After burning incense, Shan Yingying told Luo Cheng the whole story.

Presumably everyone still remembers that there is Heifenggang in the northeast of Wagangzhai. The owner of Heifenggang is the same Nie Shixiong who took advantage of Li Mi and others to besiege Yangzhou City and wanted to take Wagang in one fell swoop.After this Nie Shixiong was beheaded by Cheng Yaojin's axe, it turned out that the dragons in Heifenggang had no leader, and those little rascals were nothing but a mess.

This coincided with Shan Xiongxin's unwillingness to surrender to Li Tang with his brothers, and also unwilling to attach himself to Li Mi, so he settled in Heifenggang.Everyone saw that Shan Xiongxin was a hero, so they respected him as the leader. Shan Xiongxin really didn't think of a good place to go, but there must be a place for hundreds of people to eat and drink, so they didn't shirk their excuses. Fenggang's new village owner.

Originally, this Shan Xiongxin occupied the land of Heifenggang, he occupied the land as king on the mountain, and he didn't compete for territory or have personal relationships with those anti-kings, he guarded his one-acre three-point land, and he was able to get along well in his small life.Unexpectedly, just a few days ago, Wang Bodang came to visit suddenly, saying that he really couldn't stand Li Mi's stupidity, and wanted to join Li Tang, but felt that it was difficult to face it, after all, he had been messy before and offended a lot of Wagang Brothers.No, I want to rely on Shan Xiongxin.Shan Xiong believes that this person is very loyal, although he has been annoyed by Wang Bodang in the past to protect Li Mi wholeheartedly, but it is not too late for the prodigal son to turn around in ten years, not to mention that the two had a fateful friendship before, so they happily greeted him After arriving at Heifenggang, I was entertained with good wine and good food.

Who would have thought that when everyone was full of wine and food, and everyone relaxed their vigilance, Wang Bodang actually colluded with the Western Wei army at the foot of the mountain, cooperated with the inside and outside, surrounded Heifenggang, and arrested the young and old of the Shan family, in order to intimidate Shan Xiongxin's gangsters? Fenggang returned to the Western Wei Dynasty.

Shan Xiongxin was caught off guard for a while, and even his family members fell into the hands of the traitor. He regretted his mistake, cursed, and refused to give in, so he let Wang Bodang be imprisoned, saying that it was for the sake of the lives of more than a hundred members of the Shan family, so that he could not give in. He thinks about it again.

When Shan Yingying said this, she was already heartbroken.

"Then how did you escape?"

Shan Yingying cried intermittently and said: "When Uncle Wang went up the mountain, I was practicing martial arts at the foot of the mountain. Brother Luo Song told me before that you like girls who are in love with you. When will I be able to draw with you? Then you Naturally you will love me."

Hearing this, Luo Cheng's cheeks flushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.It's no wonder that Shan Yingying stopped pestering him later, it turned out that his brother came up with such a bad idea, Luo Cheng quickly said: "Don't listen to my brother's nonsense, in fact, I—"

Before Luo Cheng finished speaking, Shan Yingying interrupted: "I was practicing martial arts at the foot of the mountain, and I saw a group of people rushing from the foot of the mountain and running up the mountain. I don't know those people, they are not from our Heifenggang People, all of them were menacing and armed with sharp weapons. I was careful at the time, so I found a place to hide. Later, I heard that it was Uncle Wang who pretended to surrender to my brother. Imprisoned, I know that with my ability, I am still far from saving people. I suddenly remembered that my brother once mentioned that Li Tang was attacking Wang Shichong in Luoyang, and you were entrusted with the important task of guarding the tiger prison. Guan, you are in an extremely dangerous situation, and he is also extremely worried..."

"Brother Luo, I know I shouldn't disturb you at this time, but I really don't know who to ask for help...Brother Luo, only you can save my brother and my grandma, save our family..." Shan Yingying cried I want to get off the bed and kneel down, "Brother Luo, please... I won't pester you anymore, and I won't lose my temper. I can do whatever you want..."

"What are you doing? Get up quickly." Luo Cheng helped Shan Yingying up, "Even if you don't ask me, Brother Shan Wu is my sworn brother, so I can't just leave him alone."

"It's just—" Luo Cheng frowned slightly, "The terrain of Heifenggang is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there is no internal support, it may be difficult to attack the mountain. At this time, the Western Wei Dynasty has occupied Heifenggang, so it is difficult to attack."

When Shan Yingying heard that Luo Cheng promised to save people, she quickly wiped away her tears, and said with light in her eyes: "I know there is a shortcut, you can go up the mountain, and I escaped from there."

It's night, look carefully at the back hill of Heifenggang, and there are figures of people.

It was Luo Cheng who led Luo Yong and more than a hundred people, wearing night clothes, trying to climb the steep cliff to Heifenggang. Department of Dou Jiande.

Although the cliff is steep, it is not impossible. Since Shan Yingying can climb down the mountain alone by relying on willpower and familiarity with the terrain, it is even more difficult for Yanyun Jingqi who is always good at dealing with various harsh environments. not a problem.

Luo Cheng and Luo Yong's party went up from the foot of the mountain, and after about an incense stick, they went to Heifenggang.Luo Cheng checked the topography of Heifenggang with the map that Shan Yingying had drawn for him in his mind. The dungeon for guarding prisoners in Heifenggang was at the top of the west mountain, and Shan Xiongxin and his family were imprisoned there.

Luo Cheng squatted down, lowered his voice and told Luo Yong: "Let's divide into two groups, you take some of them to the dungeon to rescue my brother Shan Wu and his family, and I will take the rest to arrest Wang Bodang, otherwise we will be considered to have rescued Shan Wu Brother, you can’t escape, this mountain is full of guards from the Western Wei Dynasty.”

Luo Yong nodded, and then led dozens of brothers to the west mountain, while Luo Cheng led the rest of the staff to the direction of the compound.

After groping all the way to the compound, Luo Cheng stopped at the gate of the compound: "Wait a minute."

It stands to reason that there should always be night watchmen in Heifenggang, but everything seems to be going so smoothly, so smooth that Luo Cheng feels extremely suspicious.

Just when he was suspicious, he saw that the dark night that he could not see was suddenly lit up, and the whole compound was shrouded in the light of the torch.

Wang Bodang clasped his hands behind his back, and slowly stepped out from the side door. A group of soldiers with spears came out behind him, trotting forward, and surrounded Luo Cheng and others in the middle of the front yard.

Looking at this posture, what Luo Cheng doesn't understand is that he is eager to save people and has fallen into someone else's trap.

When Uncle Wang saw that the Luo family soldiers who were trapped in the middle not only did not put down their weapons, but turned their blades outward, they gathered together to form a circle to protect Luo Cheng in the middle, so he said, "Luo Cheng, are you running away?" Not only this compound, but the entire mountain has been set up with ambush sentry posts, and there are still many archers waiting in battle at the heights, you should put down your weapons, for the sake of brothers, I will replace you Plead with King Wei, maybe you can save your life."

Luo Cheng sneered: "Brothers? I, Luo Cheng, have a lot of brothers, Cousin Qin, Brother Wei, Third Brother Xu, Fourth Brother Cheng, Fifth Brother Shan, etc... There is also the dead Brother Zhai Rang, and even His Royal Highness King Qin My brother, but you are not on this list."

"Brother Shan Wu is not as capable as you, and will plot against his own brother!"

Uncle Wang was turned green and pale by his words: "Luo Cheng, it's not because of you that Brother Shan Wu was arrested. If I don't arrest Wu Brother Shan and set up this trap, will you throw yourself into the trap?" Said Well, Wang Bodang seemed to have found an excuse to make himself feel better, and said with a sigh of relief, "But don't worry, if you are willing to go back to the Western Wei Dynasty with me, plead guilty in front of the King of Wei, and let the King of Wei deal with it. With this promise, Brother Shan and the others will definitely be released."

Luo Cheng smiled: "You promised? Did you promise? Isn't it Dou Jiande who has the final say?" Luo Cheng ignored Wang Bodang's embarrassing expression, "If you say you have nothing to do with Dou Jiande, I really don't believe it. After our brothers left Wagang, Li Mi was silent for so long without any action. It just happened that when Dou Jiande was besieging Hulao Pass, Li Mi asked you to frame me. How could it be such a coincidence? , When did the Western Wei Dynasty switch to Dou Jiande's department?"

Originally both were anti-kings, Wagang was not as powerful as Dou Jiande's army.Li Mi is inferior to Dou Jiande, and Wa Gang looks at Dou Jiande's face everywhere, which has already made Uncle Wang feel very depressed. Now that Luo Cheng has pointed it out, Uncle Wang is quite annoyed and said bitterly: "Luo Cheng, I am Thinking of you! At this moment, Dou Jiande may have led a surprise attack and occupied Hulao. You lost the defense and were captured by mistake. Can you still get Li Tang back?"

"I don't need you to worry about whether I can go back to Li Tang. You should worry about yourself. It is expected that Li Tang will rule the world. Sooner or later, when the alliance with Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong will be formed, how will the Western Wei Dynasty, who plots against the Tang army behind the scenes, deal with itself?"

"Luo Cheng, you don't need to confuse people here! Although Li Tang is strong, he is far from being able to rule the world." At that time, Wang Bodang would never believe Li Yuan who was far away in Chang'an It will rule the world, not to mention Dou Jiande's 30 army, Wang Shichong, Liu Wuzhou and others should not be underestimated.If the king of Wei can wake up one day and no longer be obsessed with women, with the intelligence and wisdom of the king of Wei, he will definitely not lose to Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and others... Uncle Wang must be a little lost in thought, how much he looks forward to the future, at this moment he will How determined you are to do things that you should not be willing to do.

Wang Bodang took a deep breath, and said with great regret on his face: "Luo Cheng, this is the end of my words. Since you are determined not to surrender, then I can only follow Wei Wang's order. Come, kill without mercy!"

All of a sudden, there was constant fighting in the courtyard. Uncle Wang came here today prepared, he put in a lot of effort, and surrounded Luo Cheng and the others three layers inside and three layers outside. , can be an enemy of a hundred.

The fight was in full swing, and it was hard to tell the winner, only to hear Uncle Wang suddenly yell: "Stop it! Pull people up."

I saw another group of soldiers from the Western Wei Dynasty coming out from the side door, escorting several people forward, the leader with disheveled hair and dirty clothes was Shan Xiongxin himself, and the older women behind him must be his family members .

"Uncle Wang, thanks to the fact that I treat you as a brother, you actually joined forces with Li Mi to harm me! Bah... If I, Shan Xiongxin, don't die this time, I will definitely let it go."

When Luo Cheng saw Shan Xiongxin, he couldn't help exclaiming: "Brother Shan Wu—"

Shan Xiongxin was staring at Wang Bodang viciously at first, but now he heard the movement and turned his head to look, his eyes were surprised, and then he was filled with regret: "I was just glad that Yingying escaped, but I never thought that that silly girl would I fell into someone else's trap and got you involved!"

"Brother Luo Cheng, I, Shan Xiongxin, am sorry for you."

"Brother Shan Wu, it's none of your business. The person they were going to arrest was me. I got you into trouble. Western Wei has already become Dou Jiande's follower."

Wang Bodang kept on doing one thing, and simply pushed Shan Xiongxin to the front, facing Luo Cheng and said, "Luo Cheng, put down your weapon, or else, fifth brother Shan will die right in front of you."

"Uncle Wang, I'm so blind that I know someone like you. You don't have to blackmail brother Luo Cheng with me. My life is my own. I'm in charge. Don't you want to kill me? Come on, kill me!" Ah, if I, Shan Xiongxin, blinked my eyes, I wouldn't be a man peeing standing up."

"Fifth brother!" Luo Cheng called out.

Shan Xiongxin waved his hand remorsefully and said: "Brother Luo Cheng, you shouldn't have come! I, Shan Xiong, believe in He De, how can I have a brother like you, and save me again and again. It's not too late now, I believe in your ability , It’s not a problem to escape from birth, after I die, you can break out of the encirclement and go back to Tangying.”

Luo Cheng wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Wang Bodang: "Shan Wuge, you don't care about your own life, you should care about the lives of others. Brother Shan Xiongzhong is dead, and sister-in-law is weak, so I leave a Dumiao, is it possible that you want to risk your nephew's life? And auntie, auntie is getting old, is it possible that she should not die well?"

"Wang Bodang!" Shan Xiongxin gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"Thank you, General Wang, for thinking about the old man and the Shan family's descendants. It's just the Shan family's business, and you can't be the master!" The old lady of the Shan family who has been silent has said coldly, "If my son Xiongxin is really for my life, After becoming the person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and treacherous, the old man should regret that he should not have been born."

The old lady of the Shan family reached out her hand to touch her eldest grandson who was snuggling beside her, and asked softly, "Bao'er, are you afraid that our family will die together?"

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy looked at his grandmother with wide eyes, and said, "If you go back to your grandmother, Bao'er is not afraid."

"Okay, okay, this is the descendant of my Shan family." Shan Xiongxin laughed.

When Uncle Wang saw this, his face was embarrassed, and he said ruthlessly: "Luo Cheng, are you going to arrest me or not? Could it be that you really watched the Shan family die in front of you?"

"Brother Luo Cheng, if you are captured without a fight, we will all die. Li Mi has a small belly, can he accommodate us? Why don't we fight to the death and leave us alone! Please, let's go!" Shan Xiongxin cried out with tears in his eyes.

Luo Cheng was in a dilemma, closed his eyes tightly, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Okay, I'll let—"

Suddenly, there was a burst of shouting from the front of the compound, and the sound of weapons being handed over was endless. Immediately afterwards, the sentry posts that had been standing on the top of the hill were knocked down one by one, and the archers were also surrounded by people. Caught off guard, They put down their bows and arrows one after another, and the soldiers who replaced them were all wearing Tang army armor. The leader was none other than Li Yuanji, who was supposed to be guarding the city in Bingzhou.
