The dead enemy in the previous life gave me joy

A fire started from Chu Chu's top camp, and then spread to other Sichuan army camps. There were not many people left in the camp, and most of them were servants, Huotou soldiers, and recruits who couldn't go to the battlefield.

When Gu Zhai led his soldiers back from the battlefield, he saw thick smoke billowing like this. Fortunately, the fire was not too big and had already been extinguished.

Gu Zhai's heart tightened suddenly, and he ran towards Chu Chu's tent, only to see that the wooden pillars of Chu Chu's tent were all burnt to charcoal, and some unburned remnants were covered with wet ashes, he understood in his heart , the fire started to ignite from this tent.

Gu Zhai said angrily: "Where's Madam, you didn't see Madam?"

No one dared to answer, they did not see Madam, they already guessed in their hearts that Madam was really burned to death in this camp.

Gu Zhai only felt the blood in his heart surge up, and his mind and consciousness were rushed into a mess for a while. He was struggling with the exhaustion after the battle, but now his defense was broken again, and his body began to shake. When he was about to fall , Xie Lan rushed over and supported him.

Gu Zhai tried his best to ask, "Have you found anyone?"

"There are no corpses in this fire scene, the general is assured. The general thinks that the Nanman deliberately lured us to fight, and took advantage of the opportunity to do something. Madam is probably taken back to their hands. These Nanman are really ruthless, and the general finds them near the fire. The clothes they changed." Xie Lan's mind turned quickly and she said: "General, don't worry, they will definitely not do anything to Madam immediately, you should rest first."

Gu Zhai only said: "Chu Chu must be rescued, order the army to rest overnight, and attack him tomorrow by surprise!"

This move is not impulsive. Today the army has just fought against the Nanman, and both sides are exhausted. Both sides have suffered losses. At this time, taking advantage of the victory to pursue the attack, I am afraid that my own side will not be able to bear it. However, there is also an advantage, that is, the Nanban is absolutely defenseless, who would have thought that they, as the defender, would attack again after today's battle!

"General, it is unreasonable to send troops at this time!" Xie Lan persuaded.

Gu Zhai said: "One left and one right are in my hands. I have full power to decide the affairs in this barracks! I will never lose. If I lose, I will bow my neck and apologize."

On the second day, Gu Zhai really insisted on sending troops to attack the Nanman, and the Nanman really did not expect it. Unlike that day when he broke in alone, this time he came with soldiers and horses, and he could not hide the huge movement at all. He wanted to kill The main operation is also more laborious.

Although those brutal people had just experienced a big battle yesterday, they were still very intimidating. Gu Zhai drew his sword and fought with them all the way, killing one person and then stabbing the next. The bloody sword arrived at the gate of Zhao Taotao's camp.

Gu Zhai was exhausted, covering his wounds, opened the curtain of the camp gate and rushed in, shouting: "Zhao Taotao, hand over my wife!"

Zhao Taotao had just put on his armor and picked up the sword at the side to fight Gu Zhai, but even though he had the strength of a southern barbarian in his bones, he was still too far behind Gu Zhai in martial arts, and after several moves, he gradually lost.

"Hugh hurt my king!" The wizard rushed over, took his witch staff to save the defeated Zhao Taotao from Gu Zhai's sword, and then struck Gu Zhai with all his strength.

Even though Gu Zhai was already wounded, this blow only sent him flying for a certain distance, and even the wizard himself was knocked back a few steps.

Gu Zhai stared at the wizard with red eyes. The wizard's martial arts skills were not too low, and he could barely compete with him. Unfortunately, the more Gu Zhai killed, the more crazy he became.

Zhao Taotao leaned on the throne and panted heavily, staring at the wizard and Gu Zhai for a moment. Seeing that the wizard was gradually losing the wind, he shouted: "Wizard, he has gone crazy! Stop, let this continue." ,you will die!"

The wizard put away the crutch in his hand, retreated to Zhao Taotao, protected him and shouted, "Even if I die here today, I won't let you kill the king!"

Gu Zhai was indeed a little bit red-eyed, and his consciousness was a little unclear, but he still remembered the purpose of leading his troops into the Nanman barracks, and he shouted: "Hand over my wife!"

The wizard wanted to say something, but then he stopped, because Zhao Taotao pinched the wizard's shoulder, indicating that he would deal with it, and told him not to worry.

Zhao Taotao then looked at Gu Zhai, put away the previous fear, smiled and said to Gu Zhai: "General War God made a mistake, your wife is not with us, but... I have a secret about Your dear lady's, that's a big 'surprise'!"

He clapped his hands and continued: "What a confidant who rushed to the crown and became angry[1]! But, did General War God ever think that your "confidante" is your deadly enemy who has been fighting for five years~"

Gu Zhai pointed the sword in his hand at the two, his voice was trembling, and he asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Taotao seemed not afraid of offending him, and said bluntly: "Your good wife who has been thinking about it has nothing to do with the body of a princess's son, but the 'inner core' inside is actually the five battles with you in the Battle of Chuanling. Tao Jiang, Tao Jiang, who has been around for so many years, can you still remember Tao Jiang? General, surprise or surprise!"

Gu Zhai's hand holding the sword was trembling, he said: "What did you say!"

"Say you married your longtime rival!" Zhao Taotao said angrily.

Gu Zhai felt his head go berserk, "Boom!", a string seemed to break.

"You are telling lies, the Nanmanzi is full of nonsense, how can you believe you!" Gu Zhai roared, and moved the tip of the sword a little closer.

Zhao Taotao laughed loudly and said, "The general and his wife have lived together under the same roof for so long, did they really notice something wrong? I'm afraid it's just that the general is deceiving himself and others and doesn't want to believe it."

Gu Zhai only felt that his head was getting heavier and heavier, and he realized that something was wrong, "What did you do to me?"

The wizard who hadn't spoken for a long time finally spoke at this moment: "It's just a little bit of incense, the general should put down the sword in his hand."

Gu Zhai was extremely angry, even though his body had become weak/soft due to the fragrance, he swung his sword and stabbed at the two of them with his years of consciousness and habits.

"Child's trick, this general has faced enemies on the battlefield for many years, even if he is affected by a little mist from you, it is still more than enough to kill the two of you." Gu Zhai said.

How could Zhao Taotao have expected that Gu Zhai would be able to lift a sword when he was infatuated with incense, Gu Zhai, who became violent, intended to kill Zhao Taotao who was full of nonsense, and the wizard sacrificed his life to protect Zhao Taotao at that moment in front of.

Gu Zhai's sword pierced the wizard's chest, and thick blood oozed from the wound, and Zhao Taotao shouted anxiously: "Wizard, I have armor on me, what are you doing for me!"

"Wang, witch... can't... see you hurt... you go!" The wizard who was pierced by Gu Zhai's sword pushed Zhao Taotao desperately, and finally closed his eyes.

Zhao Taotao's eyes were full of disbelief, he hugged the person in his arms and roared: "Isn't this mist effective? How can he still lift the sword!"

Zhao Taotao's hands and clothes were covered with the wizard's blood, which made him dumbfounded. He never believed that the wizard would die. When Gu Zhai broke into the barracks with a sword, he felt uneasy for a moment. The slightest uneasiness disappeared the moment he saw the wizard. The wizard must have a perfect plan to save him, but...

At this time, Zhao Taotao was about to burst into tears.

"You're dead, what's the use of having this throne? I didn't kill my father and brother to make myself sit at the top, but to protect you and prevent your people from bullying you again, idiot." Crying and hugging the black-clothed wizard in his arms, he touched his face with his blood-stained hand.

"Gu Zhai, you killed the person I love the most, don't think about it." He saw that Gu Zhai was affected by Mixiang, gritted his teeth and said, "It was in my royal tent that day, your wife personally Admitted that he is Tao Jiang, and told us how much he hates you, I lost my sweetheart, and you don’t want to live with the person you love, no, you must be worse than me, it’s not you Races, their hearts must be different, hahahaha, the reincarnation of the heavens, the retribution is not good, even on the road to the underworld, the witch and I will watch you torture each other, and see what you will end up with in the end!"

Zhao Taotao picked up his own sword blade and wiped his neck, and fell down holding the wizard's corpse. His eyes were fixed on Gu Zhai, and the corners of his mouth were raised in sarcasm.

Xie Lan saw that Gu Zhai had finally opened the camp curtain and came out, but his expression was not good, and he hurriedly asked: "The Nanman barracks have been pacified, has the general found his wife?"

Gu Zhai's expression froze, "Xie Lan, you are in charge of exterminating the remaining Nanman forces here, I will lead a team to find someone, and claim to hunt down important Nanman criminals."

Gu Zhai led a group of soldiers and horses and ran back. What Zhao Taotao said lingered in his mind, and he could only solve it by finding Chu Chu and asking him. Since there were no soldiers in the Southern Barbarian army, Chu Chu must have left by himself. It was because of his muddleheaded mind that he subconsciously felt that he had been taken captive by the Nanman.

Xie Lan could see that Gu Zhai was a bit crazy, so she didn't dare to stop him, but chose the most elite few people to protect the general, and whenever it happened to his wife, the general would be like this, no, there was also that Weng Shu General, these two people are simply the general's "doom".

Gu Zhai led the people all the way through Yuele to the north, but they didn't find any trace of Chu Chu. Affected by the fragrance, Gu Zhai's words resurfaced in Gu Zhai's mind over and over again.

He held back his mind and guessed that Chu Chu had already returned to Shangjing at this time.

Even though he wanted to know the truth of everything, Gu Zhai still retained his sense of reason. He looked at the endless official road, stopped his horse, and finally said: "Let's go back."

The army was still in Nanman, and he sent out his troops determinedly. Although he narrowly escaped death and won the victory, there were still many things that he needed to take care of.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. He obviously wanted to find Chu Chu and ask him clearly. It seemed that deep down in his heart he didn't want to go back. He was even a little afraid to see Chu Chu again, afraid that he would really tell the so-called "future and past events" in detail in front of him. shake off.

Zhao Taotao's words seemed to plant a "seed" in his heart through the bewitching fragrance, and now the "seed" has really broken through the soil and taken root.

The author has something to say: [1] It comes from "Yuanyuanqu" written by Wu Weiye, a poet in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.
