red cliff top

"Protect the Governor! Protect the Governor!"

Seeing the third son Shen on the top of the city bowing his bow and setting his arrows, there was chaos in front of the formation, and several teams of guards swarmed up, holding leather armor shields and surrounded Gu Mingzhang, protecting them.

The third elder brother Shen Zhiqiao smiled contemptuously from the corners of his mouth, flicked his fingertips, and the arrow flew out of the string, and struck through the air with a sharp cold wind, piercing into Shensi's chest with a "poof".The two pawns who were escorting Shensi had already fled in fright, stumbled and ran a long way, Shensi lost his support, and fell backwards on his back under the impact of the arrow.It was as if he had been punched heavily in the chest, first it was burning like fire, then a short period of numbness, the sharp pain of the flesh being pierced followed one after another, ravaging his nerves one after another, causing the blue veins on his forehead to bulge.

The wind in the ears stopped, and there were densely packed soldiers standing around. They were not rebels or Tatars, and those faces were blurred, like cold and indifferent stone statues.

On the contrary, the pain caused a surge of joy in Shensi's heart, and if he could feel the pain, it meant that he was still awake and alive, great!Keep it, I'm still alive!

He lay quietly on the ground with his eyes closed, and slowly stretched out his hand to cover the wound, testing the depth of the arrow cluster into his body.The feathered arrow was nailed three inches below the ribs, just stuck between the bones, so it wouldn't hurt the viscera, so it shouldn't be a problem.He carefully groped for the shaft of the arrow with his fingertips again, the top was smooth and there was no blood groove, so inferring that there were probably no barbs on the arrow.

Gathering up enough strength, Shen Si gritted her teeth and pulled out the arrow quickly.Blood splattered accordingly, and a few drops sprayed on the nearest little boss with a square face. The man shivered almost imperceptibly as if he had been scalded.It turned out that the blood was hot, and it turned out that they were bleeding the same blood.

There was complete silence before the battle, no one could have imagined that the bones of the Shen family were so hard, not only refused to plead guilty, they even gave up the lives of their brothers and sisters.After being stunned for a long time, Gu Mingzhang squeezed a silk handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, glanced at him in contemplation with distaste, shook his head with a "tsk tsk tsk" and said: "Barbarians are barbarians, no matter how nice they are, they won't appreciate it. Forget it." , drag people down first, this bloody smell is really unpleasant."

One of his subordinates leaned forward and flattered him: "Commander, since old Shen Wei is stubborn, why not let the subordinates lead the troops to attack and kill his prestige!"

"Whether to attack or not to attack, do you still need you to teach me how to act? Do you think you can win against Shen Wei with your three-legged cat's ability? His 'Dragon and Tiger General' was not sent by the gate of the temple. " Gu Mingzhang fanned the cool wind with a silk handkerchief, and gave the other party a dissatisfied look, "Willing and killing all day long, why bother to have a brain? This move is empty, and the governor naturally has more powerful moves. Deal with Shen Wei! Snake hits seven inches, kills and kills..."

The group of people who followed him praised him again and again: "The governor is resourceful, the governor is wise and powerful, and the governor has thousands of grooves in his chest, no one can compare to stupid people like me!"

Gu Mingzhang was touted as extremely happy, and yawned lazily: "I'm tired today, let's withdraw the troops for the time being, and let someone go and prepare the wine from the Western Regions bestowed by the emperor. The governor choked on the cold wind all morning, so we should drink it well." Soothe your throat."

The siblings Shen Si were escorted back to the camp and dragged into a cold and dilapidated tent.A wooden cage with iron chains had already been prepared in the tent, and the guards threw the man into it roughly, and then sat around to warm themselves by the fire and gamble.

A few balls of straw were randomly rolled up in the center of the ground, hoarfrost still hung in the corners, the tents were dark and drafty everywhere, the distance from the stove in front of the guards was too far, and the heat dissipated after a few feet away.Elder sister Shen Xi gathered the straw together with her head depressed, and patted it thick again, and then she and her brother-in-law worked together to help Shen Si to lie down on the haystack, trying to make him lean as comfortably as possible.

Meditation's skirt was already soaked in blood, and it was wet and cold against his body, and every small movement would bring throbbing pain.The elder sister lifted up the skirt, tore off the strips of cloth and helped Shen Si tightly wrap the wound.In order not to worry her sister, Shen Si tried her best to pretend nothing had happened, her face was calm as usual, but her forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Brother-in-law pulled up his sleeves to wipe off Shensi's sweat, but the cuffs were so dirty that the original color could no longer be seen. He sighed helplessly and rolled up his sleeves. Fortunately, the inner garment was relatively clean.Seeing the beads of sweat dripping down from the forehead of Shen Si, the brother-in-law felt distressed and angry: "What the hell is the third brother thinking? My younger brother is actually able to do it. If the tip of the arrow misses a little bit, Nianqing's this is the right thing to do." I'm afraid my life will be lost."

Shen Si lightly smiled and patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder: "This arrow will never miss again, brother-in-law, don't forget, third brother is a famous archer in our Shen family army."

The brother-in-law still muttered dissatisfiedly: "Even the sharp archer shouldn't..."

The elder sister smiled sadly, and said to her brother-in-law in a low voice: "Can't you see that the third brother is deliberately showing off for Gu Mingzhang. Whenever father and elder brother show us the slightest bit of pity for us, Gu Mingzhang will do everything possible. He tortured us by means to force our father to submit. The third brother also wanted to take a gamble, let Xiao Wu suffer a little bit, and then protect the three of us. The third brother... actually has good intentions."

The brother-in-law suddenly realized: "So that's the case... I was wrong to blame the third brother."

"Third Brother has always been the closest to Xiao Wu, so he must be feeling uncomfortable now." My sister's eyes turned red, "Mother has been bedridden since she gave birth to Xiao Wu, and Third Brother took care of him when he was young. The first time I cried, it was earth-shattering, and I would open my mouth to bite people if I didn't like it, just like a son of a bitch, it was the third brother who patiently took some snacks to tease him."

Speaking of the father and elder brother who were trapped in the city, the siblings were silent.The more my sister thinks about it, the more she feels wronged: "I don't accept it. What does Huo Duan's treason to the enemy have to do with my father? It is nonsense to say that my father leaked the secrets of Yifu's defense. Who would tell outsiders about his weaknesses and wait for others to beat him?" ?" She turned to look at her brother-in-law, with tears in her eyes, "Gu Mingzhang didn't deal with our Shen family enough, even you, Brother Yun, I'm the one who dragged you down."

The brother-in-law held his sister in his arms, and fondled his sister's hair with his hands: "Nonsense, without you, I would still be alone now. Back then, my father-in-law said that I was a scholar, but you didn't dislike me for being a scholar." Weak and impoverished scholar, Auntie, I am lucky to have met you in my life, it is because of my husband that I have dragged you down, because I cannot protect my wife and children."

The elder sister gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "If you want to blame, you can blame Gu Mingzhang, that vicious demon! He is jealous of the virtuous and capable, confuses the emperor, and turns black and white! If we can get out alive this time, we must settle with him for what we did today!"

The elder sister was emotional, and the volume became louder unconsciously. The guard reprimanded: "What are you yelling about, be honest, and stop your noise with a rag!"

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the tent, the door curtain was lifted, and a man in a green shirt and a net scarf came in.The guard greeted him politely and said, "Hey, isn't this Master Feng, why bother you to make a trip?"

"Military masters, you have worked hard." The person called Master Feng smiled all over his face, and looked at the three siblings who were locked in the cage, "Feng was ordered by the governor to come and have a look. These people are still useful, so don't lock them up."

Master Feng is polite and polite, and the guards naturally treat each other with courtesy: "Please Master Feng, please speak a few words of kindness in front of the governor, and say that the governor should just rest assured that the criminals will be handed over to our brothers, and we will guarantee Nothing to lose!"

Master Feng nodded and bowed again: "That's natural, that's natural. Military masters, please open this cage door for a moment. The governor's house is kind and ordered me to come here with wound medicine. Go in and take a look, and you can explain something when you go back."

The guard was puzzled: "I can take care of such trivial matters."

Director Feng showed a helpless smile, and said in a long voice, "Oh, how dare you be perfunctory for the matter that the governor personally explained. If you blame me, you and I can't bear it."

The guard thought for a while, smiled understandingly, opened the cell door and let Master Feng in.

Seeing Master Feng pacing up to the front, Shen Yu glared at him: "Why is Gu thief so kind? He is just afraid that our siblings will have troubles and lose a chess piece that threatens father! Make it bigger! It’s really embarrassing for the governor to do this. Even though there are thousands of troops in his hands, he will only use some despicable methods, which is extremely shameless!”

The surname Feng heard what his sister said, nodded with a half-smile and said: "Miss Shen has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, she is worthy of being the queen."

The brother-in-law was afraid that the other party would harm his sister, so he quickly stepped forward to stand in front of his wife.Master Feng ignored the couple, he just stepped closer to contemplate, condescendingly looked down, and then took out something from his arms and threw it on the ground: "The governor has his own reasons for doing things, why should you wait for rebellious officials and thieves to criticize?" .As for this medicine, it is a great gift from the governor, and its efficacy is extraordinary. Please use it carefully! Use it with all your heart!"

When it came to the words "careful" and "dedicated", Director Feng stared straight at him in thought, and intentionally or unintentionally increased his volume.When he took a step, the corner of his robe was tilted, and a jade pendant was slightly revealed from the inside.The jade pendant is transparent in color and exquisitely carved, with a group of wishful and auspicious clouds wrapped in rich peonies in the middle.The more Shen Si looked at it, the more familiar it became, and suddenly remembered that he had seen the same thing in Gu Zhuozi and Tu Mo'er.

Director Feng watched the pensive gaze from the corner of his eyes, and made sure that he had seen everything that should be seen. Then he lightly brushed the skirt of his clothes twice, pulled the robe smooth, and turned around and left without haste.

Before the man surnamed Feng went away, the elder sister grabbed the medicine box: "Xiao Wu, you can't use the medicine given by Gu thief, be careful that he is playing tricks on it again!"

Seeing her sister raised her hand and was about to throw it away, Shen Si immediately stopped her softly: "Wait a minute!"

He took the medicine box in his hand, frowned and looked it up, down, left, and right.Master Feng first said some meaningless words, and then deliberately showed himself his jade pendant, there must be another mystery behind it.The medicine box is made of wood, and it feels like a tight fit, and there is nothing special about it.Opening the lid, a strong smell of herbal medicine came to the nostrils. He pondered and tried to dig out a little bit of the dark brown ointment, and then dug out a little bit. Finally, he just went all the way down, and finally touched something slippery at the bottom of the box.

The elder sister saw that there was a change in Shen Si's expression, and called softly: "Xiao Wu..."

Shen Si waved his hands secretly, and glanced at the guards sitting in the distance warming up with his eyes.The elder sister nodded knowingly, turned to Shen Si and pretended to help with the medicine, taking the opportunity to block the sight of the outside world with her body.Shen Si quickly dug out all the ointment. It turned out that the bottom of the box was covered with a layer of oiled paper of the same size. When the oiled paper was uncovered, there was a note hidden underneath.Shen Si spread out the note on the palm of his hand, looked at it with the faint light of the fire, there were two rows of small characters waiting for the opportunity to save each other in the chaos.

The place where the signature was signed was a black mass, and it took a long time to barely make out that it was a seal with a dragon pattern on one side, and the king Jin also had half of that seal.It seems that I guessed well, Master Feng is indeed King Jin's man.

After scanning the note twice, Shensi crumpled it into a ball, stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it.The brother-in-law also saw the content above, and asked Shen Si worriedly: "Nianqing, look at this... Could this be Gu Mingzhang playing some kind of conspiracy again?"

He pondered for a moment, then shook his head noncommittally.He couldn't be sure whether Master Feng was real or not, but he was willing to believe it once.You can't escape by yourself. Instead of waiting to be killed, it's better to go out and try him. Regardless of success or failure, you can always be reconciled.

Most of the Shen family's army had already left, leaving only a mere ten thousand people in Runing City, and most of them were old, weak, injured or sick.Shen Wei originally wanted to let these people have a good rest under the pretext of suppressing the bandits by order, whoever would have imagined a catastrophe, would not even be able to protect themselves in the blink of an eye.

Frightened by the prestige of the Shen family's army, Gu Mingzhang knew that a strong attack had no chance of winning, so he was not in a hurry to send troops. Anyway, the emperor sent him a lot of silver. Very happy.

And Shen Si and others were locked in a broken tent, fed on dirty water and leftovers, always caring about the safety of their father and brother, and had no chance to know the movement of the outside world. It was like a year.

After delivering the medicine that time, Master Feng never appeared again.After seven or eight days like this, suddenly one day there was a lot of people and horseshoes outside, and there was a lot of noise.Shen Si and her brother-in-law lay on the ground listening, exchanged glances, and concluded that the army was dispatched.After about half an hour, the noise outside completely disappeared, and the big tent returned to its previous silence.After a while, the wheels crushed the gravel from far to near, and then Master Feng walked in holding Gu Mingzhang's token: "It's time to work again, military lords, the general governor has ordered, immediately detain this A few people rushed to the front."

The guards checked the token in his hand, confirmed that it was correct, opened the cage door, dragged him out, tied him up firmly, and then pushed and shoved him outside.There was a carriage parked outside the tent door, and the guard was very happy to see it: "Master Feng is thoughtful and will save brothers a lot of trouble."

"It's a little effort, let's take care of each other." Master Feng dealt with it thoughtfully, and then put on a fierce face and pushed and pondered for a while: "Hurry up, hurry up, if you delay the business of the governor, you can't afford to walk around!" The moment his palm touched, he quickly stuffed a small and delicate dagger into Shensi's hand.Shen Si also hid it with her backhand very tacitly, and covered it with the tattered sleeves.

Master Feng brought two guards to escort the man into the carriage, leaving two others to control the horses in front.Shen Si pretended to be extremely weak, and fell sideways on the wall of a wooden plank, with his hands behind his back, carefully cutting the rope with a dagger.The hands were tied too tightly, and only a few fingers could move freely, so it was difficult to exert strength, so the progress was a little slow.

The two guards were extremely bored, chattering all over the world, unknowingly talking about the prostitutes accompanying the army, and you and I argued about which girl had the most graceful figure and which girl had the most supple skin. Foam flew across his mouth and he smiled openly, not paying attention to the movement of meditation at all.

When the rope finally cut a gap, the next step was much easier, and the pensive hands were quickly released.He continued to pretend to be bound, and at the same time nodded towards Master Feng without a trace.

Mr. Feng shared the teasing jokes of the guards, but his eyes never left his thoughts.Received the message from Shensi, he hung his hands by his side, and gestured towards Shensi with the cover of his robe sleeves, three fingers, two fingers, when he reached one finger, the two jumped up at the same time, He flew onto the guard's back, covered the guard's mouth and nose with one hand, and cut the guard's throat with a knife in the other hand.The guards were caught off guard, their eyes widened in horror, and before they could even breathe out a word, they both died.

The two people driving the car outside were listening to the nonsense inside, but they didn't want the conversation to stop abruptly. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. You are the loudest snorer at night, what's the matter, isn't it a dead body again?" Unexpectedly, there were two blood-stained and hideous corpses in the car, so frightened that he screamed, "Oh my god! Murder..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Si threw his saber straight into the middle of the opponent's eyebrows, leaving an inch-long handle exposed, as if horns grew out of his forehead.Seeing him falling on his back, the other person subconsciously reached out to help him, only to find that he had already died of anger after rolling his eyes, and froze on the spot in fright.Master Feng seized the opportunity and swung his knife, intending to go straight to the other party's neck, but at the critical moment, the wheel hit a rock, and there was a sudden bump, everyone was thrown up and slammed into the side of the carriage.

After missing a hit, the man came to his senses, jumped out of the car without hesitation, rolled a few times after landing, and got up desperately to escape backwards.Master Feng also wanted to jump out of the car, but Shen Si snatched the knife away. He supported the shaft of the car with one hand, leaned out of the car with most of his body, hung in mid-air and waved his hand steadily at the man, a cold light flew out, and the knife hit the back .The man staggered and fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and finally stopped moving.

Reining in the reins, Shen Si and Master Feng loosened the rope for the sister and brother-in-law who were still in shock. They wiped off the blood on the car together, threw the body off the roadside cliff, and turned around and ran to the other side.Director Feng took out the military uniform he had hidden in advance from under the seat, and handed it to the three siblings to change into.Fortunately, the winter clothes are bloated, and the helmet is too big. My sister was born thin, so I can't see anything in it.

After dealing with all this, Shen Si cupped his hands gratefully to Master Feng: "Brother Feng, I don't want to thank you for your kindness. He will be sent by others every day, and Shen Si will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Master Feng hurriedly replied: "My lord, Feng Zhuosheng, was ordered by the prince of Jin to hide beside Gu Mingzhang for internal response. I have informed Sun Changshi of the news that you have been captured, son, because the prince is far away in Jinyuan, so I'm afraid it will drag on like this. You have long nights and many dreams, so after discussion between the two of us, we decided to take a risk to rescue you."

"Why, Sun Changshi also came to Runing?" Shen Si didn't expect King Jin to get the news so soon, and even sent Sun Rushang to come.

Feng Zhuosheng sighed: "Oh, to be honest, as soon as I heard the news that Gu Mingzhang wanted to escort Huo Duan to the capital, I sent someone to inform the prince on a flying horse, and the prince also sent Wen Fu to run to Runing immediately. Old General Shen delivered the news, but he was one step late. By the time he arrived, Gu Mingzhang’s cousin Gu Mingzhen had led troops to surround Runing. If I could get the information earlier, maybe..."

Shen Si waved his hand: "Brother Feng, there is no need to blame yourself. This matter is clearly Gu Mingzhang's intention to frame his father. Even if there is no Huo Duan case, he will come up with another name sooner or later."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel endless resentment. His father was loyal to the emperor all his life, and his blood stained his clothes, but he also fell into this field. protect him!

While talking, a horse team galloped towards them, and the leader shouted loudly: "Stop! Stop! Who is in the car ahead?"

Feng Zhuosheng hurriedly opened the curtain of the car, motioned for his brother-in-law to stop the carriage, and responded calmly, "I am Feng Zhuosheng, the head of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and I have been ordered to go out to do some errands. May I ask what you want to do, Mr. Jun?"

Hearing that he was working for Gu Mingzhang, the passerby immediately became more polite: "It was Master Feng, I'm sorry, just now an important prisoner escaped, I was ordered to search, and I was on official business, so I offended you."

After the other party explained their purpose, several people in the car became nervous. Fortunately, they had already changed their clothes, and there was no flaw at first glance.Fearing that the other party might be suspicious, Feng Zhuosheng replied generously: "Where is it? Please do what you want, Mr. Jun. Everyone is working for the governor, so how can you offend me?"

He took the initiative to show the token, raised the curtain again, and made a "please" gesture.

The leader is 26 and seven years old, with a face in Chinese characters, which looks a little familiar.He didn't get in the car, but just looked in from the outside, first glanced thoughtfully, then turned his eyes to his sister's face, narrowed his eyes slightly, and didn't leave for a long time.Shen Si was not sure if the other party had noticed anything, secretly put his hands behind his back, and quietly drew out the dagger.Suddenly, the man's eyes fixed on a blood stain that hadn't been removed on the car board, and Shen Si could hardly restrain himself and was about to strike, but just as his arm moved slightly, the man turned his head to look at him with a "swish", He had to stay where he was.

Another pawn in the back also found the blood, his face changed suddenly, and the waist knife was out of its sheath with a "shua": "Why is there blood on the car? Whose blood?"

Before he could pull out all the knives, he was slapped on the back of the head by the "national character face", cursing and reprimanding him: "Little bastard, you can't change Mao Mao's stinking problem. We went out to march and fight, and we were a little wounded." What a surprise, there can be no blood anywhere!"

Feng Zhuosheng was also in a cold sweat from fright, and hurriedly said: "I'm ashamed to say, the weather has been dry these few days, and the fire has been a little hot, and I accidentally got a nosebleed."

"National character face" laughed loudly: "It doesn't matter if the fire is prosperous, my younger brother has a good introduction. The master knows that there is a woman named Tao Hua Niang, who is really a beauty in the world..." He leaned on Feng Zhuosheng's ear and joked wantonly, his eyes could not stop Turning around Shen Si, there seems to be something deep in his eyes.Shen Si instantly understood that the other party might have discovered the vision a long time ago, but he couldn't understand why the other party would let their siblings go, and even secretly helped to cover up.He vaguely remembered that when an arrow hit the city that day, the Chinese-character face seemed to be standing beside him...

The search found nothing, and the pedestrians got on their horses and left one after another. Some pawns complained as they walked: "How many sons are there in this Shen family? One in the city, one escaped, one died in the capital, and one more will wait." want……"

The horse ran away with only a few words, but his contemplative heart was suddenly seized.The one who stayed in the city was the third brother, and the one who escaped was himself. Who was the one who died in the capital?The father said that he sent someone to deliver the memorial to the little emperor, and the eldest brother had already been sent to patrol the southwest border, so the person he sent must be the second brother, so... the second brother is gone?He hoped that he had heard it wrong for a while, but his sister who was sitting across from him began to cry.It seems that my sister and I heard the same words, and the last trace of "luck" was shattered.I thought Yizhou Prefecture and Yibie were only separated for a short time, but I didn't know that they ended up separated by yin and yang.

Standing up thoughtfully: "Brother Feng, please take your sister and brother-in-law first. I want to go back. Let's make an appointment and meet up later."

Before finishing speaking, my sister hugged him: "Little Wu can't do it! Gu Mingzhang has hundreds of thousands of troops. If you just grab a horse and kill it, it won't help. You will only die in vain. I won't allow it! My sister won't let you go! I won't let you go!" I have no other skills, I can't fight the enemy like you, but I want to keep your little brother!"

Shen Si touched his elder sister's face, and stretched out his hand to point in the direction of Runing: "Sister, you heard what I said just now, I'm afraid the second brother has already... Now that father and third brother are trapped in the city, I can't just watch them being trapped in the city." Gu Mingzhang killed him, but he stood by and watched in secret. If I just walk away, how can I be worthy of being the son of the Shen family!"

My sister grabbed his shirt tightly, choking so hard that she could hardly speak: "Father and third brother have worked so hard to protect us. I don't know what to do, but I just can't let you die, Xiao Wu, My mother got the disease because she was pregnant with you. At that time, the doctors advised her to abort the child, but she desperately wanted to give birth to you. Your life was bought by your mother. I don’t allow you to ruin it casually! You can't go to die! I won't allow it!"

Shen Si gently opened her sister's fingers as much as possible, and sent the sobbing sister to her brother-in-law's arms: "Sister, don't worry, I won't die. I Shen Si always keeps my word. In terms of kung fu, I am by no means inferior to my brothers, and even slightly better. One way, you have to trust me."

The brother-in-law rubbed his sister's back with his hands, trying to calm her emotions: "Ah, it's okay, I believe that Qing has this ability. He has always been a brave and resourceful child. You go with this brother Feng, I will accompany Nian Qing back, and I will protect him for you!"

Feng Zhuosheng looked left and right: "How about this, I will go back with Mr. Shen. Anyway, I have already agreed with Sun Changshi on the location, and he will bring people to meet him. Mr. Chai just needs to follow the path I said At once……"

"I don't need to say any more." Shen Si interrupted the conversation between the two, with an unquestionable tone, "Brother-in-law stays with my sister. My sister is pregnant, and after these few days of tossing, something may happen at any time. Brother Feng, please take care of me." Take care of the Gu family sister and brother-in-law on your behalf. You are familiar with the route and how to get in touch with Sun Changshi. Don't worry, I am going to save people, and I will not die recklessly. It is convenient to move by yourself, and it will be more burdensome to have one more person. "

"This..." Feng Zhuosheng showed embarrassment, "I'm afraid it's hard to explain in front of the prince..."

Shen Si smiled resolutely: "Shou Zhi has always known that I understand me, no matter what choice I make, you don't need to explain anything, he will understand everything." Speaking of the word "Shou Zhi", Shen Si's face was unexpectedly bright.

Thinking of the unspeakably ambiguous relationship between Shen Si and King Jin, Feng Zhuosheng stopped persuading him.After agreeing on the meeting place, Shen Si untied a horse and jumped on it.When he was parting, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, if he couldn't come back alive, this would be the last time their siblings saw each other.In such an occasion, should I say something?

He turned back to look at his sister, her belly was slightly swollen under the armor, and a cute little life was about to be born there. She looks as beautiful and beautiful as her sister, and has a gentle and kind temper like her brother-in-law. It's so good...

Thinking about it carefully, he has no regrets in this life. With his father's earnest teaching, his brothers and sisters' indulgence and love, Bo Ling's introduction as a confidant, and the guard... and the guard... he nodded to himself, Clamping the horse's belly with both feet, he resolutely galloped away.

Gu Mingzhang's troops had no rules and no military discipline at all. He wore the military uniform of Gu Mingzhang's troops and took Gu Mingzhang's badge, so he was not hindered in the slightest.From a distance, I saw someone picking up a corpse with a long spear in front of Gu Mingzhang. The corpse was full of arrows, the blood had already flowed out, and the exposed skin was as dry and brown as a wax man.

That was his dull but thoughtful second brother!

Shen Si lowered her head, clenched her fists, trembling uncontrollably, her chest ached like needles.In this family, the second brother is always silent.When eating at the same table, the second elder brother will silently give him the good food, and if he makes a mistake, he will be punished. The burden was taken over and carried on his shoulders... Now the second brother is still silent, but he can no longer do anything for him...

But Gu Mingzhang was still smiling, his face full of smugness: "Shen Wei, Old General Shen, do you recognize this one? Hey, isn't it your son, the Second Young Master Shen? Do you know how the Second Young Master died?" What?" He wiped his hands with a silk handkerchief, and without looking at Shen Wei on the top of the wall, he said slowly, "I have to tell you the truth. Guess who killed your son Who is it? It is you, General Shen himself! Didn’t you tell him to go to Beijing to avenge his grievances, and tell him to sue the imperial court? He was honest and knelt outside the hall to ask to see him today and tomorrow, but unfortunately the Holy Majesty refused to see him. I don’t know where he got the news, saying that the emperor went to play chess in Xunying’s mansion, a university scholar. He was really funny, and even jumped over the wall and jumped into someone’s yard. What happened? He was shot into a hedgehog by the imperial army as an assassin Tell me, tell me, if you hadn't caused so many troubles, why would you kill your own flesh and blood?"

There was silence on the top of the city, only the fluttering wind was left, Shen Wei stared at the second son's body, pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, but his lips still couldn't stop twitching violently.He muttered to himself in amazement: "Impossible...Impossible..." That was his child, and he recognized it.

Every word that Gu Mingzhang uttered pierced Shen Wei's heart like a knife.He didn't understand, and he couldn't understand anyway, which heinous mistake he made that made the emperor hate him so much, wishing to punish the whole family.What is loyal to the emperor, what is patriotism, whose emperor is loyal?Whose country do you love?

Wronged?No injustice!As long as the emperor wanted him to die, the crime was not important.

Seeing Shen Wei frozen on top of the wall as if petrified, a sneer appeared on the corner of Gu Mingzhang's mouth.So what if you don't know how to fight?Still able to defeat those savages who only know how to fight.He clapped his hands, and one of his subordinates shouted knowingly: "Bring the prisoner up!"

Several long rows of wooden prison cars came slowly, the cars were packed with people, they were all the soldiers sent by the Shen family army to the southwest, and the one tied in the front car was the eldest brother of the Shen family.

Shen Si didn't expect her elder brother to suffer the same fate as herself.He observed the crowd around him, moved forward quietly, searched for a weapon at hand, and planned in his heart how to rescue his eldest brother.He knew very well that no matter how powerful he was, he could fight ten or a hundred with one, but he couldn't fight ten thousand or hundreds of thousands with one.As long as he did it, he would definitely die on the spot, but he had no choice.

Gu Mingzhang lazily raised his eyelids, and shouted towards the top of the wall: "Shen Wei, the youngest son was kicked out of the house, and the daughter was thrown out of the house again, so this one must be your beloved son, right? Don't forget that you have Killed a son, do you want to kill this one too?"

The captured Shen Guan scolded sharply: "Gu Mingzhang, you insidious villain, if you hadn't falsely preached the imperial decree, how could I have been tricked and controlled by you!"

"I falsely preached the imperial decree? Hahaha, what a joke! I don't care why someone falsely preached the imperial edict?" Gu Mingzhang grinned, "My lord, to tell you the truth, I was the one who wanted to kill you on the spot according to the emperor's intention." With kind thoughts in my heart, I have prepared a way of life for you. If you can persuade your father to go out of the city and accept the surrender, I will not only save your life, but also grant you a lifetime of glory and wealth."

The eldest brother quietly listened, and suddenly smiled: "The road to life and the road to death are in front of you, and everyone will choose. If that's the case, send me to the city, otherwise it's too far away, how can I persuade my father?"

Gu Mingzhang raised his eyebrows and smiled strangely, waved his hand: "Let him go."

Dozens of people escorted the elder brother to the side of the moat, Shen Guan looked up for a long time, and then quietly asked: "Father, has the frostbite on your hand healed?"

Shen Weiwan didn't expect his son to ask about this, and it took him a long time to reply with difficulty: "He's cured."

Shen Guan nodded and smiled: "Then I'm relieved. When I left the city that day, my son forgot to give the prepared ointment to Dad. I missed him a lot along the way. Fortunately, Dad has recovered."

Shen Wei's eyes were sore: "Guan'er..."

Shen Guan stared at his father with a smile on his face: "Father, my son was accidentally tricked by Gu Mingzhang. Not only was he captured, but he also implicated all the generals in the army. He should be apologetic with death. I have lived so far without being greedy When you die, you only think about your parents, and before you die, you must thank your father for his kindness in nurturing you."

While speaking, he knelt down on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed three times, then got up and knocked away the escorts on the left and right, roaring and rushing towards Gu Mingzhang.Gu Mingzhang and his subordinates did not expect it. In order to protect their master, the guards greeted the eldest brother with swords in a panic.

Gu Mingzhang's horse was frightened, and its front legs were raised high, almost throwing off the man on its back.Gu Mingzhang was dizzy from being swayed, and grabbed the horse's mane with all four feet together and shouted anxiously: "Keep alive! Don't fall into the trap!"

It's a pity that before he could finish speaking, several long swords pierced through the elder brother's body at the same time.The blood flowers were in full bloom, and the eldest brother fell down like a mountain, smiling calmly.

"Guan'er! Guan'er!" Shen Wei couldn't hold back any longer, threw himself on the wall, looked at the still cold corpse below the city and cried out in pain, his eyes were about to burst.

Shen Si hid in the crowd, raised his hand and bit his knuckles tightly, forcing himself not to cry out.

Gu Mingzhang became angry with embarrassment: "Okay, very good! You Shen Jiajun want to die, so go ahead and die!" He pointed to the prison cars full of soldiers of the Shen army, "Kill them for me! Kill them all! Shen Wei, don’t you love soldiers like your sons? Then keep your eyes open to see how miserable your sons are dying! As long as you don’t surrender, I will keep killing them, one by one, until they are all dead! "

Shen Wei gritted his teeth: "Gu Mingzhang, you killed innocent people indiscriminately, brutalized the loyal, and slaughtered the unarmed generals of the Zhou Dynasty. You are not afraid of leaving a bad reputation for thousands of years!"

Gu Mingzhang laughed so hard: "The stink lasts forever? I don't know who will stink first, you or me! Everyone here is dead, who knows what I have done? I, Gu Mingzhang, have made great contributions to eradicating rebel bandits for the imperial court. After ten thousand years, who will remember who you, Shen Wei, are?"

Groups of soldiers with long guns gathered together and surrounded a prison car, stabbing in from all sides at the same time with guns. The soldiers in the car couldn't avoid it, were pierced by countless sharp knives, and fell into a pool of blood one after another.The people in the other prison cars watched all this silently, did not cry bitterly, did not knelt down to beg for mercy, Shen Jiajun was steadfast
