Chapter 60 Chapter 60
Chapter [-] - Unexpectedly, the city will be surrounded by bloody battles, and the plan is planned to escape from the forest path
In the morning, I heard pheasants crowing.Fu Chen rested with his back against the wall for the past two days, but the city here is also quite quiet, even if the bandits occasionally made noise, if there were only these voices in the world, they wouldn't feel the noise.Perhaps this is the unique tranquility of the former residence. Thinking of himself wandering here as a child and his mother who always leaned against the door waiting for him to come back, Fu Chen regained consciousness, stood up, and paced back and forth. , thinking that going north from here should be reluctant.
There was another noise from the yard: "...the barbarians are calling from Tongcheng again..."
"...They won't be cooperating with Hu Jun to cross the river?"
Fu Chen raised his eyebrows, pushed open the door, and went to the courtyard to watch their dispute.
"Okay," Chao Da said, "Even if they are coming, they won't make a special trip to cross the river and head north. Maybe they will drive straight along the western line and attack the Imperial Capital City. We can't take care of ourselves now, so let's leave them alone."
"No," Fu Chen calmly interjected, "If the barbarians intend to attack the imperial capital, regardless of the difficulty of capturing the southern low-mountain basin, in terms of the marching distance, there is no need to send troops to attack from the east in a large circle. Come on, isn't this a waste of effort?"
Everyone didn't care about him coming out of the room at first, but now their eyes fell on the newcomer one after another, and they suddenly listened to what he said, and felt that it made sense.
Chao Da nodded in thought.
"Then tell me, what do they mean?" a bandit below asked him.
Fu Chen took a glance and recognized that the person who spoke was Chao Da's younger brother, and said: "The barbarians are still entangled in the Jingzhou area, and the barbarians are marching from the east road at this time, obviously wanting to take advantage of the fire to rob and catch this When the Yan army at the border gate is restrained, they will seize the city separately, such a good opportunity, the barbarians will naturally not let go of this time to seize the population."
"How do you know the military situation so well?" Chao Er asked suspiciously.
Fu Chen was cold-eyed and silent.
"Hey, you forgot, isn't he a barbarian?" someone on the side said to Chao Er, "Looking at how talented he is, maybe he was originally a member of the barbarian army..."
"...It makes sense."
Chao Da said: "Anyway, now we don't have to worry about how they fight, we just need to wait for the brothers from the West Road to join us from Wuling. Just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."
"Hmph, dog bites dog, so fucking happy!" The people below agreed with gritted teeth.
Fu Chen lowered his eyes, his eyes flickering.
The barren mountain at the eastern foot, isn't that where the nameless mountain is located?How can I go back the same way I have traveled on foot until now?
Just as he was thinking about how to find an opportunity to escape, another person rushed in at the door.
"Brother," said the humane, "there was news from Wuling that the Hu soldiers in Jingzhou City had deserted, and the brothers there were planning to retreat to the south with them at first, but they were detained by the local Yan army. The brothers were directly captured and chopped up, and the rest fled back to the mountains in Wuling City, and they dare not come out at this time."
"Those Chijia Yiwei are all blind? Can't tell the difference between the Hu people and the Yan people?" The people below answered angrily.
"Of course they are not blind!" Chao Da's anger also followed, "They just found an excuse and took the opportunity to wipe us out quickly, so as to save the future and make mistakes for their local county magistrate, one by one, yes When the enemy ran very fast, he didn't forget to point the tip of his sword at his own people as soon as he got an advantage, a bunch of trash in the nest!"
"A turtle with a shrunken head!" Someone from below cursed.
"Since they took advantage of the chaos to quell the incident," Fu Chen said opportunistically, "we can also repay him in the same way."
"Go on." Chao Da said in a deep voice.
"Simple," Fu Chen quickly cleared his mind, narrowing his eyes and said, "It happens that the barbarians are still moving here. I am sure that the barbarians will cross the river in the next two days and head to Jingzhou area. After the Hu people escaped from Jingzhou, those officials returned It will still take a few days to return to the mansion, find out where they live now, and then follow the route of the barbarians, with them as cover in front, the county magistrates and the rest of the guards can also logically fight in the chaos' If you are implicated to death', you may be able to recruit a group of local people to join the gang, anyway, they should be the same as you, suffering from the rulers here for a long time."
Chao Da's face was slightly cold, and he knew that the young man had roughly figured out their purpose, but he also felt that every word he said fell into his heart's longing, so he said in a firm voice: "Jia Sheng is right, everyone Now take a good rest, prepare enough dry food, and send a few brothers to Lincheng in turn to prepare some dry food and herbs, and be ready to act at any time."
Everyone scattered, Chao Da turned his head to look at Fu Chen, and said, "Brother Jia, come in with me."
Chao Da entered the room and winked at Chao Er who was beside him, but Chao Er insisted on following him as if he didn't realize it.Chao Da had no choice but to ignore the layer of dust on the chair, and sat directly on it. Fu Chen was not very particular, and sat on the lower end, waiting for him to ask questions.
"Brother Jia, do you know why I have such deep prejudices against Yan soldiers and officials?" Chao Da asked.
Fu Chen was noncommittal, waiting for him to take the initiative to break the barrier: "I would like to hear the details."
"When I was young, my father and I used to live in Yong'an County, which is adjacent to Tan County, but he often went to nearby prefectures and counties to find jobs, so he didn't escape the epidemic in Tan County that year," Chao Da said in a strangely calm voice. "You already know what happened afterwards. My two younger brothers went to the government office to get an errand at that time. My ability was enough to raise me to another level in the Yiwei selection in Zhoucheng. There is also a chance to go to Beijing to practice in the Chijia's personal guard army, but after my father died, the two younger brothers were left unattended, so they had to take over the family's fields."
"It's only because Tan County is remote and remote, and the high officials in Beijing didn't know about the deaths of people in one county. Later, I wholeheartedly went to the government to ask for some food and money to subsidize my livelihood, but it actually alarmed them. Knowing this There were insiders left behind in the disaster, and they wanted to get rid of them. My two younger brothers and I had to flee to the county early."
At this point, Chao Da raised his head and glanced at the young man's reaction, seeing that Fu Chen was still as cold as he first saw, not even a little bit moved, so he said again: "Brother Jia."
"I believe what you said. You said you were Fu Niangzi's only son, but how did you escape from the disaster at that time? I see that although your internal strength is weak now, your martial arts are solid and tight. You have practiced hard. stop?"
Fu Chen frowned, looked at him, and said, "I don't want to recall the specific details of that year. It doesn't matter if you believe me or not."
Sooner or later they will part ways.
Chao Dawei sighed, and said: "I don't doubt what you mean, it's just that finding out the cause of the origin is also to reassure my brothers."
Fu Chen sneered, and said back: "I also have a question, since you are going to raise an uprising, why are you still passively controlled by the government and the army until now, and you can't even find a place?"
The young man's words were so straightforward that Chao Da was taken aback. He exchanged a glance with his younger brother and said with a wry smile: "One is to gather more people, and the other is to catch the good time when the Yan army is overwhelmed. I don’t want to die for nothing, and I’m still a farmer with my brothers.”
"This time is an opportunity," Fu Chen said indifferently, "If you want to avoid the attention of the court and gather the people secretly, and take advantage of the barbarian army and the Hu army to provoke a war on the border at this time, there will always be some people in exile in cities and counties." Many fleeing for their lives are willing to join the group.”
Chao Er nodded repeatedly at the side, but Chao Da faintly felt that although the young man was sickly and weak, he was also as taciturn as his face, but his words were to the point after he spoke, and he was secretly guiding and avoiding his questions, unknowingly. , was about to be taken away by him, this kind of speaking skill is not something that ordinary warriors can have, so he turned back to the topic: "It seems that Brother Jia, you are also unwilling to tell me where you come from?"
"Is this very important?" Fu Chen said, "As you can see, I have the blood of the barbarians, and I have hatred for the Yan people, but I have no feelings for the barbarians. Isn't that enough? Or do you have to pry into other people's past to spy on their mentality? For fun?"
Chao Da was choked for the first time, but it was Chao Er who was taught by the young man and felt that what he said was reasonable, so he also turned to Chao Dao: "Brother, I think what he said is reasonable... Didn't you say that when you were a child Have you ever met his mother? Don't worry about his origin anymore..."
Chao Da turned his head to stare at him, and Fu Chen's eyes wandered between the expressions of the two whispering, and said coldly: "Instead of thinking about me here, why not think about how you will deal with the barbarian army when it comes."
After finishing speaking, he got up straight and walked to the door, leaving a dark shadow behind him under the gloomy daylight.
The straight back exudes a wild and unruly aura, and it doesn't look like he has been seriously injured.
When Chao Er saw the person walking away, he said, "Brother, why are you worrying and hesitating here? Why are you mother-in-law and mother-in-law at this time!"
"You idiot!" Chao Da patted Chao Er's head lightly, and lightly reprimanded him, "He was injured all by himself in this wilderness, and he got involved with us as soon as I spared his life. Even if I believe that the childhood experience he said is true, so what? People are separated from each other, let alone so many years have passed, how can you have the confidence that he is not hiding other thoughts to make trouble here?"
"If I had known this before, then if you didn't spare his life in the first place and killed him, wouldn't the matter be over?" Chao Er asked rhetorically.
Chao Da remained silent.
Chao Er let out an angry "Oh", he understood, stared at his brother and said with a smile, "Even brother, you think what he said makes sense, don't you?"
Chao Da gave him a sideways look.
"I'm not talking about you, brother, you want to take advantage of others, and at the same time doubt their intentions. If you have always been so hesitant in doing things, how come you are here today."
"I just think this kid's temperament is too weird, so I'm just on guard." Chao Da explained.
"Strange?" Chao Er was puzzled, contacted the young man's previous behavior, and said resentfully, "Isn't he just a brat who doesn't know what to do and likes to fight fiercely? Didn't you see this kind of person fighting a lot in the streets and alleys when he was young..."
"Then have you ever seen a wounded boy on the street who is not afraid when he sees a group of people coming to fight him? Have you ever seen a street gangster who knows the center of gravity of the marching formation in several counties and counties in the border city, and also understands that the place has always been here?" To the topography of Jinhe? The few words he said can all be connected to the administrative distribution of Yanbei. Even merchants who deal with business everywhere often go through official roads. It is impossible to understand both of them to this extent. .”
"...Brother, where did you find out that he was injured?" Chao Er was puzzled and asked, "I saw that when he took the knife and used the hidden weapon, his movements were very sloppy, he didn't look like someone who was seriously injured... "
"It's true that he can't see any flaws when he moves his hands, but have you seen his walking posture?" Chao Dao said, "His left and right hands are not on the same frequency at all, and his left arm is obviously much stiffer. I felt that my bones were not healed. When he used the hidden weapon to threaten me, the breath he exhaled was short and unstable. Although he tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't hide it from me. The level is not comparable, maybe it is also because of the serious injury... It's really weird."
Chao Er was stunned, and a little embarrassed: "Then I was plotted by him..."
"Practicing martial arts is not a way to go. Jia Sheng has short internal strength, but has other strengths." Chao Da patted him on the shoulder and said, "Be more brainy, Erlang."
"Brother," Chao Er said, "I think you should stop entangled here. Anyway, he is a barbarian, and he won't have anything to do with Yan Bing. At least now, he and we have the same goal. When we and Wuling The brother on the side is connected online, and with so many of us, he dares to make any changes, just kill him directly. No matter how strong his martial arts is, can he single-handedly defeat so many of us?"
"Okay."
At nightfall, the bandits who had been running around during the day returned to the four old houses in the county to settle down.
Fu Chen sat in a corner of the room, opened his clothes and checked the bone injuries on his legs, feet, shoulders and arms.As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to hurt the muscles and bones, but to him time is the most luxurious thing, and he can't delay it for a long time. As far as the current injury is concerned, long-distance travel should be more than enough.He was rigidly guarding the house, waiting for midnight and everyone to fall asleep before slipping out quietly with a horse, it was always much more convenient and quicker to be alone than to follow a group of people.
He was thinking about the route in his mind, when Chao Dachangsang's voice came from outside the door: "Brother Jia."
Fu Chen was a little surprised. Seeing that the door was unlocked, Chao Da stepped in and saw the young man huddled in a corner: "What's wrong? But the wound on your body hasn't healed yet?"
Fu Chen stood up quickly, straightened his body and wiped away the moment of embarrassment just now, and said lightly: "No problem."
Chao Da raised his eyebrows, obviously known that this young man was always prone to being aggressive when it came to his injuries, he put down the wine jar and two pieces of dried meat he brought, and said: "I brought some food, and I will share it in the evening." I saw you didn't go during the meal...you are so young, why don't you spare your life."
The bandit leader said this with sincerity, Fu Chen lost his mind for a moment, followed him to the table in a daze, and said in a low voice: "...Thank you."
He didn't give up too much, he was indeed hungry for a few days, so he picked up the dry food and stuffed it into his mouth.
Chao Da looked at the centipede scar that danced on the young man's left cheek as he chewed, as if it had been carved from the pale Sujuan.
After the young man finished eating, Chao Da stretched out his hand, intending to grab his wrist, but Fu Chen dodged quickly, faster than him, and his eyes became alert: "What are you doing?"
"I also know a little bit about Qihuang," Chao Da said calmly, "Let me check your pulse and see how your condition is."
"No need," Fu Chen refused coldly, rather ruthlessly ungrateful after being full, "You already know what my internal strength is, so why bother to detour here to find out."
"You are really upright," Chao Da shook his head and sighed, he was not a person who would make some twists and turns, he just showed himself clumsy in front of this young man, "I'm telling the truth... Anyway, I just came to see Depending on your situation, by the way, ask which team you will follow tomorrow."
Fu Chen raised his eyebrows: "Has the barbarian made any movement?"
"That's right," Chao Da said in a deep voice, "the news came at night. I plan to set off in two routes after everyone wakes up tomorrow. The first team will follow me from the north to Jingzhou, bypassing the Zeshuimoliu, and the second route will be from Jinzhou to Jingzhou." The rest of the brethren in Wuling City are received from the south along the river. There are also some people here in Tanxian County who need to keep watch at all times. If there is any change here, it is best to adjust as soon as possible, and send letters to inform the whereabouts at any time, and try to avoid Hu. A head-on conflict between humans and barbarians. My plan is that you are wounded and have never been involved in such a thing, why don't you just stay in the county and prepare for the summons?"
"No," Fu Chen said, "I'll follow your team."
"Why?"
"My body injury is already healed," Fu Chen said, "Besides, I am also familiar with the terrain in that area, so I have the advantage of traveling."
"Are you familiar?" Chao Da questioned.
"Before I came to Tan County, I came from Beicheng area." Fu Chen confessed.
Chao Da waited to hear what he said, but found that the young man stopped talking again, and asked, "And then?"
"What then?"
"You've talked to this point, and you still don't want to reveal what you did before?" Chao Da smiled and said, "Even if you make up a lie, I might believe it..."
"Forgive me." Fu Chen still insisted, "I won't say much, just because everything I say is true and I don't bother to cheat."
It is expected that Chao Da lost the desire to inquire at this time, he stared dumbly at the young man for a while, and then smiled slowly: "Brother Jia, I always see that you look familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere, you Do you know me?"
Fu Chen also looked back calmly and said, "I haven't seen it before."
Chao Da raised his eyebrows: "...Is that my illusion?"
"Maybe it's because I have an ordinary appearance, and I have some similarities with everyone in the crowd."
Chao Da shook his head and sighed with a smile: "I don't think you, brother, are really likely to follow us on the road of rebellion."
"...How do you see it?" Fu Chen said calmly.
Chao Da shook the jar of wine that he had just brought on the table, and found that it was already empty. He had been swept away by the young man unknowingly, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, so he stopped his small movements, looked at the young man, leisurely He said: "In this group of people I gathered, they are all ordinary people who have been pushed to the extreme by the government army. I just look into their eyes. Some are honest and some are dishonest. Looking at the past, there are only these two types. Brother Du Jia, you are different."
"Oh?" Fu Chen felt fresh, aroused a bit of interest by his words, and said, "What's different?"
"I'm saying this... Brother, don't be angry," Chao Dao said, "Your eyes... are the 'dead eyes' that I only saw in many dead heads."
Fu Chen fell silent for a moment.
Seeing the young man's expression, Chao Da thought that Cai's words had really offended the Venerable Master, and hurriedly said, "Oh, I'm a big brother, and I can't hold back my words, but brother, you drank all the wine just now, so I won't use it. I apologize..."
The corners of Fu Chen's lips curled slightly, and he squeezed out some sarcasm that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry: "Brother Chao is right, but it's not that mysterious. Obviously, after a few years, you will be completely blind. The eyes of a dead person should look like the eyes of a blind person."
Being stared at by those gray eyes at this moment, Chao Da only felt the coldness of winter.He shook his head and said seriously: "It's still different. The eyes of blind people don't have emotions, but dead people do. After all, they have lived and seen, so they are very different."
"If you want to get to the bottom of it, I have some ideas." Fu Chen looked directly at him and said, "Brother Chao is hiding the truth from the officers and soldiers for such a big battle. There must have been some history."
"Oh?" Chao Da said without changing his face, "Tell me, how did it come about?"
Fu Chen stopped at the point, and didn't want to get entangled in this topic, so he turned to ask: "Then what I said just now, Brother Chao agreed? I will follow the person you brought tomorrow."
"Okay..." Chao Da smiled, feeling that he was a little more drunk than the young man who had just drunk, stood up and stretched his shoulders, and wanted to go out, and said, "You should rest earlier, even if Young people should not disregard the body and destroy the foundation."
Fu Chen didn't speak.
When Chao Da walked to the door, he seemed to be thinking of something again, leaning against the door frame, half turned around and said, "...Jia Sheng."
Fu Chen turned his face away, the hazy moonlight softly enveloped the bandit leader, he blinked his eyes.
"...Your mother will be very relieved if she knows your current situation." Chao Dading took a look at him, then turned and left after speaking.
Glad?
Fu Chen's eyes suddenly froze.
Why are you happy?
Rejoice in the fact that he was foolishly deceived and died soon?Or are you relieved because he doesn't know people clearly and is trapped on the road?
The young man let out a short snort, and the sly smile on his face was even worse. The moonlight washed away the little shadow left in his eyes, making him cool and indifferent.
sleepless nights.
The door was open, and Fu Chen was in the room watching the half-round sun glowing with orange light flying up from the old eaves of the opposite room.
He got up slowly, wrapped a piece of fabric from his clothes to wrap the curly hair scattered behind him, and changed into the ordinary navy blue and short brown suit he borrowed yesterday. After tidying up, he just went out.
According to yesterday's plan, when he walked to the empty road outside the county, Fu Chenguo saw that a group of bandits had gathered one after another. Chao Da, who was at the front, had a serious expression on his face.
When Chao Da saw him coming out, he nodded slightly across the crowd, no longer the pretended intimacy yesterday.
Fu Chen remained silent behind the crowd as usual, and led the horses to the west with the crowd.
But here, Liao Hui and his cavalry rushed to Jingzhou to support them. When they approached Zishui and wanted to cross, they temporarily stationed and rested to provide food and drink. At this time, Juju moved around the border of the East when he heard the wind. He was frightened and angry, and did not stop at the same place. The army set off again. On the one hand, he arranged for Wei Xu to take some soldiers and horses to resist the purge, and on the other hand, he rushed to Jingzhou to observe the situation of the war.
After days of running around, the soldiers were somewhat exhausted.
Wei Xu led his troops from the wild road outside the city to the area of Xiangcheng. The sound of heavy horseshoes came closely, and the brown armor was still shining in the sun.
"This is the red-armored personal guard from the imperial capital," Chao Dayin hid in a high position in the ridge, spying on the passing soldiers secretly, "There must be five or six thousand people up here, and they can't go up to fight the enemy head-on."
"Jingzhou fell, the imperial court will not only send this few troops," Fu Chen said beside Chao Da, "They came from the west, the main army must have arrived there, and specially sent some troops to block the barbarian army Sneak attack."
"Well," Chao Da said in a deep voice, "we have fewer people, and our marching speed is much faster than theirs. Now we have to hurry over there to see the situation there. It's not good brother."
After clarifying the situation, Chao Da led a team behind him and quickly walked across the mountain road.
Under the bright sky, the mountains and trees are quiet, only the human-made noise of the tremors spreads around, ripening the golden golden crows, and the red clouds are like the wrinkles on the old man's forehead, leaving a trace on the white sky.
What Chao Da didn't expect was that when he arrived at the outskirts of Jingzhou after dark, the barbarians who had surrounded the state couldn't hold back the siege for a long time. Going to fight to the death outside the city, the Red Armored Army who had also surrounded the city for a long time did not expect it. After being covered by his fellow troops, he fled, but managed to break out of the encirclement.
"You said that the barbarians have escaped from the city now?" Chao Da was a bit inconceivable when he heard the brothers who had inquired about the news ahead of the team came to report. Should they come a step later?
"Exactly," the bandit replied, "there are so many Yan troops gathered here, it is really inappropriate to start a conflict, brother, let's go back the same way first, the border is in chaos, let's avoid the limelight first and then talk about it later. "
Chao Da pondered for a moment, then called out to a young man a few steps away, "Jia Sheng."
But he saw that the young man didn't know what to think about, holding his eyes down and motionless on the horse, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Just when he was anxious, Chao Da couldn't help raising his voice, and said again: "Jia Sheng!"
Chao Er, who was beside Fu Chen, patted him vigorously when he saw this, and then he came back to his senses, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Chao Da: "...how is it?"
Chao Da didn't have time to find out why he was in a daze just now, so he frowned and said directly: "If you go from here to Wuling City in the southwest of Jingzhou, there are two roads to the east and west, which one is faster?"
Fu Chen raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said: "I advise you not to go there again, I don't know when the barbarians broke in and left. But if the red-armored reinforcements happen to rush here, you take them In the past, it happened to give them a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds."
"But what if the brother over there is captured?" Chao Da asked.
"Even if you've already been captured, it won't help if you go there," Fu Chen mocked coldly, "You guys have no chance of winning if you face the enemy head-on, but if you're talking about revealing your identity, it's very appropriate... If you don't go, their Some people on the side are hiding and walking slowly from the path, but there is still a slight chance of coming back alive."
Chao Da also agrees with what the young man said in his heart, but he is still unwilling in his heart, what is this?Walking on limestone - a waste of time?
Fu Chen looked up at the already dark sky, and urged: "It's already dark now, go back at this time, at least you can reach a safer place before dawn, it's not wise to waste time here."
Chao Da was upset, he didn't pay attention to the way the young man talked to other places more than these two days, so he hastily replied: "I have to do this first!"
Chao Er passed the order to the rest of the brothers. The bandits were hesitant but did not dare to delay, so they obeyed the order and returned home on the spot.
The earth-rock mountain road is not very clear at night, but the hearing is cleaned up very well at this time.
In the dark night, the prying eyes flickered with the hungry wolf Youlu.
"Boss, there's a group of people over there...it doesn't seem to be Yan Jun's attire?"
Santo stared at him and said: "It doesn't matter whether you are a soldier or not! If you see the Yan people, you will kill them. The shame of the butchers is unshakable. Let them see how good we are! This time the city is not well guarded. If we don't kill a few more It’s not in vain to spend so much effort when a Yan man goes back..."
"Santo is right," the barbarian on the side continued, "Anyway, the Yan army has already arrived at Jingzhou one step ahead of us, and their group is no more than a thousand, so they will definitely be able to kill them all."
Chao Da and his party thought that walking in the narrow mountain road was enough to hide their traces, but they didn't want the Hu soldiers who were originally there to support the troops in Jingzhou city still stationed on the hillside and mound beside them.The Jingzhou incident happened quickly, beyond the expectations of the two teams, but unexpectedly they met again on the road.
The incident started when Chao Da, who was in front of the team, first heard the change in the wind.
"There is an ambush!" Chao Da knew in his heart that the team had been rushing for a day, and if they ran into an ambush by Yan soldiers at this time, they would definitely be invincible, "Retreat!"
As soon as the words fell, the heartstrings of a group of bandits behind them were all tense, and they saw people rushing down from the mound in front of them, attacking them.
Fu Chen frowned, pulled the reins and stopped, looking at the ambush soldiers coming from the sky ahead.
Broken Dorosanto?
Fu Chen took a closer look, the head with the empty right arm was not the general Hu who was defeated by him earlier, why is he here?
"No," Fu Chen said in a low voice to Chao Da who was beside him, "This group of barbarians must have come to rescue the barbarians in Jingzhou City. They came prepared, so we can't confront them head-on."
Chao Da had already advanced forward, he raised his saber to attack the comer, the comer was strong and healthy, and he had been resting in the hills for a long time, the force of this horizontal saber was enough to show the strength of the barbarians.
Chao Da's heart is not good, he is afraid that today will be damaged because of this, he must first think of a way to protect some people from rushing out.
The barbarians went on a killing spree, red blood splattered from the necks of the felled gangsters, the dark night was still still, and the ubud was stained with moving red snakes.
"...Jia Sheng," Chao Da dealt with the person in front of him, and secretly approached the young man who was also caught in the fight, his eyes swept around the mountain road, "Is there any way to escape?"
Fu Chen obviously didn't expect the current situation. The bone injury on his arm was involved in the fight, and he began to feel a dull pain. He took a steady breath and said: "The one-armed barbarian in front of you on the left is the leader of this team. , You used to pester him, and I will lead some people to rush out from the hill."
"Okay," Chao Da responded, raised his hand and took out an exquisite object, placed it in front of his lips, and made two sharp cracking sounds, and the aftermath rippled in the air.
This is the secret signal for the bandits to escape.
Chao Da threw the mountain whistle at Fu Chen again, and Fu Chen took it, probably knowing its use, and suddenly felt an untimely trance in his heart, how could this bandit leader trust him so much?
Although the gangsters who heard the whistle knew what it meant, they were still intimidated by his ferocity and bravery when they fought against the barbarians for the first time.
Here, Fu Chen took the lead, broke out from the melee, drove up the hillside, stopped at a high place, and blew his whistle quickly, attracting the attention of the gangsters.
"They want to run!" Santo yelled, "Brothers! Come on! Don't let them escape!"
The Hu crowd pursued even more closely, Fu Chenbiao stopped and went into the fight again, approaching Chao Er, who was in the lead, said: "Chao Er, you lead the troops and horses to retreat up the slope, and your brother is in charge of breaking the rear!"
"I..." Chao Er was shaken by Fan Er while hesitating, he didn't pay attention, and took advantage of the barbarian here again, he leaned over to dodge quickly, avoiding the flying swords and guns.
"You are not a regular army, what kind of heroes are you?" Fu Chen leaned closer to help, and glared, "Go!"
The dead bodies slanted across the ground, and there were many empty horses disturbing the battle situation on the road.
Chao Er subconsciously didn't want to play the role of a fugitive, but the situation forced him, he glanced at Chao Da, then immediately turned his horse's head, ran towards the bandits who were gradually gathering around him, and let out a quick word : "...Then go and help my brother!"
Fu Chen clenched the handle of the saber that he had snatched from his hand, and forcibly suppressed the wound on his shoulder and arm.
A small group of skilled gangsters remained on the road to restrain most of the Hu people. The Hu people attacked fiercely and unreasonably, so they lost some gaps and suffered a lot of wounds on their bodies.
At a glance, Fu Chen saw Chao Dazheng and the one-armed barbarian entangled in the center.He had fought against Podoro Santo, and he knew that he was a ruthless character. At this moment, he and Chao Da were not in the best condition, and the chances of winning a head-on confrontation were not great.
"Chao Da!" Fu Chen's voice was rough and serious, "There is no need to love fighting, the best policy is to walk!"
He rushed out of the Hu soldiers gathered on both sides, his swords and knives were faster than the chance of closing his eyes and opening his eyes, and in a few strokes he took down a few rough Hu soldiers with dexterity.
Santo looked at the man who suddenly joined the battle and came from nowhere. His hair, face and lips were tightly wrapped in coarse cloth, but his eyes were exposed. not out.During the chaotic battle, I had no time to take care of it, so I concentrated on defeating the enemy.
"Why are you here again?" Chao Da said in a tone of reproach and surprise.
While Fu Chen cleared away the barbarians who grew up beside the slanting branches, the more people came to protect the leaders on both wings, the more he felt that he had no time to take care of him, he took a deep breath during the interval, and said: "Your brother took everyone to The higher-ups have escaped, so you have to find a way to get out quickly."
Chao Tianran also sensed that the people in front of him were difficult to deal with, and he was not strong enough, so he forced the horses to charge forward.
He was concentrating on dodging to avoid a heavy blow, but he saw the figure of the predecessor trembled, and suddenly fell forward on the mane of the horse's back. The horse was frightened and wandered around in place.
Chao Da took a closer look, and saw his younger brother's happy smile from behind, and was shocked and angry again: "Why are you back!"
He galloped forward and said, "Go back quickly!"
"Brother, your waist is injured!" Chao Er exclaimed, staring at an extremely long streak of blood on his blood-stained short brown, extending from his forearm to his chest and abdomen, still oozing red fluid.
"Don't worry about it, you go!" Two more barbarians came to kill, and Chao Da turned sideways to resist.
Chao Er also joined in to help, the blades crisscrossed and clanked, gradually becoming weaker than he wanted.
"Jiro!"
Chao Er didn't know what happened, but suddenly he heard Chao Da's exclamation, a huge human figure flew up from the side and threw him down, the horse was frightened and jumped forward, and the two overlapped fell from the horse's back to the ground.Chao Er felt that the back of his head was being protected by a big palm, but the back of his tailbone was in pain from the sudden impact on the ground.
A spray of warm liquid was hotly sprayed on his face, Chao Er stared, looked at his brother who was breathing unsteadily, held his blood-stained cheek in his hands, forgot everything in an instant, and cried out in pain: "Brother——"
This movement also alarmed Fu Chen. Originally, the young man was still trapped in a battle with a few barbarians elsewhere. Hearing the sound, his eyes turned away, watching Santo keep approaching the pair of brothers on the ground. The people on the left and right, raised their hands and quickly sealed several vital points around their bodies, and at the same time used their strength to stand on tiptoe, climbed over from the horse's back, kicked the heads of several Hu people, and flew over the horse that Chao Er just fell off. , swung a knife and stabbed it, right behind Santo's murderous back.
Santo shook his hand holding the knife, and the stabbing pain from his left shoulder made him angry. He immediately turned his horse's head, and saw those strange familiar pupils again, and shouted, "Who are you!"
The one who will break your left arm.
Fu Chen's face was condensed, naturally he didn't want to reveal his identity, and his wolf eyes narrowed.
"...not dead," Chao Da tried to force a smile on his face, but it was too difficult, so he had to give up, "...you allow me...to say a few more words..."
Chao Er froze on the ground and did not dare to move, for fear of involving his brother's wound.Compatriots unite their hearts, the bulging pain in the heart is showing his brother's condition, tremblingly said: "Brother, you say..."
Chao Dahu moved his hand on the back of his younger brother's head, and moved forward to his blood-stained face, sighing deeply.
"Bah!" Santo spat blood and froth outward, very provocative.
In fact, on the shoulders of this barbarian
In the morning, I heard pheasants crowing.Fu Chen rested with his back against the wall for the past two days, but the city here is also quite quiet, even if the bandits occasionally made noise, if there were only these voices in the world, they wouldn't feel the noise.Perhaps this is the unique tranquility of the former residence. Thinking of himself wandering here as a child and his mother who always leaned against the door waiting for him to come back, Fu Chen regained consciousness, stood up, and paced back and forth. , thinking that going north from here should be reluctant.
There was another noise from the yard: "...the barbarians are calling from Tongcheng again..."
"...They won't be cooperating with Hu Jun to cross the river?"
Fu Chen raised his eyebrows, pushed open the door, and went to the courtyard to watch their dispute.
"Okay," Chao Da said, "Even if they are coming, they won't make a special trip to cross the river and head north. Maybe they will drive straight along the western line and attack the Imperial Capital City. We can't take care of ourselves now, so let's leave them alone."
"No," Fu Chen calmly interjected, "If the barbarians intend to attack the imperial capital, regardless of the difficulty of capturing the southern low-mountain basin, in terms of the marching distance, there is no need to send troops to attack from the east in a large circle. Come on, isn't this a waste of effort?"
Everyone didn't care about him coming out of the room at first, but now their eyes fell on the newcomer one after another, and they suddenly listened to what he said, and felt that it made sense.
Chao Da nodded in thought.
"Then tell me, what do they mean?" a bandit below asked him.
Fu Chen took a glance and recognized that the person who spoke was Chao Da's younger brother, and said: "The barbarians are still entangled in the Jingzhou area, and the barbarians are marching from the east road at this time, obviously wanting to take advantage of the fire to rob and catch this When the Yan army at the border gate is restrained, they will seize the city separately, such a good opportunity, the barbarians will naturally not let go of this time to seize the population."
"How do you know the military situation so well?" Chao Er asked suspiciously.
Fu Chen was cold-eyed and silent.
"Hey, you forgot, isn't he a barbarian?" someone on the side said to Chao Er, "Looking at how talented he is, maybe he was originally a member of the barbarian army..."
"...It makes sense."
Chao Da said: "Anyway, now we don't have to worry about how they fight, we just need to wait for the brothers from the West Road to join us from Wuling. Just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."
"Hmph, dog bites dog, so fucking happy!" The people below agreed with gritted teeth.
Fu Chen lowered his eyes, his eyes flickering.
The barren mountain at the eastern foot, isn't that where the nameless mountain is located?How can I go back the same way I have traveled on foot until now?
Just as he was thinking about how to find an opportunity to escape, another person rushed in at the door.
"Brother," said the humane, "there was news from Wuling that the Hu soldiers in Jingzhou City had deserted, and the brothers there were planning to retreat to the south with them at first, but they were detained by the local Yan army. The brothers were directly captured and chopped up, and the rest fled back to the mountains in Wuling City, and they dare not come out at this time."
"Those Chijia Yiwei are all blind? Can't tell the difference between the Hu people and the Yan people?" The people below answered angrily.
"Of course they are not blind!" Chao Da's anger also followed, "They just found an excuse and took the opportunity to wipe us out quickly, so as to save the future and make mistakes for their local county magistrate, one by one, yes When the enemy ran very fast, he didn't forget to point the tip of his sword at his own people as soon as he got an advantage, a bunch of trash in the nest!"
"A turtle with a shrunken head!" Someone from below cursed.
"Since they took advantage of the chaos to quell the incident," Fu Chen said opportunistically, "we can also repay him in the same way."
"Go on." Chao Da said in a deep voice.
"Simple," Fu Chen quickly cleared his mind, narrowing his eyes and said, "It happens that the barbarians are still moving here. I am sure that the barbarians will cross the river in the next two days and head to Jingzhou area. After the Hu people escaped from Jingzhou, those officials returned It will still take a few days to return to the mansion, find out where they live now, and then follow the route of the barbarians, with them as cover in front, the county magistrates and the rest of the guards can also logically fight in the chaos' If you are implicated to death', you may be able to recruit a group of local people to join the gang, anyway, they should be the same as you, suffering from the rulers here for a long time."
Chao Da's face was slightly cold, and he knew that the young man had roughly figured out their purpose, but he also felt that every word he said fell into his heart's longing, so he said in a firm voice: "Jia Sheng is right, everyone Now take a good rest, prepare enough dry food, and send a few brothers to Lincheng in turn to prepare some dry food and herbs, and be ready to act at any time."
Everyone scattered, Chao Da turned his head to look at Fu Chen, and said, "Brother Jia, come in with me."
Chao Da entered the room and winked at Chao Er who was beside him, but Chao Er insisted on following him as if he didn't realize it.Chao Da had no choice but to ignore the layer of dust on the chair, and sat directly on it. Fu Chen was not very particular, and sat on the lower end, waiting for him to ask questions.
"Brother Jia, do you know why I have such deep prejudices against Yan soldiers and officials?" Chao Da asked.
Fu Chen was noncommittal, waiting for him to take the initiative to break the barrier: "I would like to hear the details."
"When I was young, my father and I used to live in Yong'an County, which is adjacent to Tan County, but he often went to nearby prefectures and counties to find jobs, so he didn't escape the epidemic in Tan County that year," Chao Da said in a strangely calm voice. "You already know what happened afterwards. My two younger brothers went to the government office to get an errand at that time. My ability was enough to raise me to another level in the Yiwei selection in Zhoucheng. There is also a chance to go to Beijing to practice in the Chijia's personal guard army, but after my father died, the two younger brothers were left unattended, so they had to take over the family's fields."
"It's only because Tan County is remote and remote, and the high officials in Beijing didn't know about the deaths of people in one county. Later, I wholeheartedly went to the government to ask for some food and money to subsidize my livelihood, but it actually alarmed them. Knowing this There were insiders left behind in the disaster, and they wanted to get rid of them. My two younger brothers and I had to flee to the county early."
At this point, Chao Da raised his head and glanced at the young man's reaction, seeing that Fu Chen was still as cold as he first saw, not even a little bit moved, so he said again: "Brother Jia."
"I believe what you said. You said you were Fu Niangzi's only son, but how did you escape from the disaster at that time? I see that although your internal strength is weak now, your martial arts are solid and tight. You have practiced hard. stop?"
Fu Chen frowned, looked at him, and said, "I don't want to recall the specific details of that year. It doesn't matter if you believe me or not."
Sooner or later they will part ways.
Chao Dawei sighed, and said: "I don't doubt what you mean, it's just that finding out the cause of the origin is also to reassure my brothers."
Fu Chen sneered, and said back: "I also have a question, since you are going to raise an uprising, why are you still passively controlled by the government and the army until now, and you can't even find a place?"
The young man's words were so straightforward that Chao Da was taken aback. He exchanged a glance with his younger brother and said with a wry smile: "One is to gather more people, and the other is to catch the good time when the Yan army is overwhelmed. I don’t want to die for nothing, and I’m still a farmer with my brothers.”
"This time is an opportunity," Fu Chen said indifferently, "If you want to avoid the attention of the court and gather the people secretly, and take advantage of the barbarian army and the Hu army to provoke a war on the border at this time, there will always be some people in exile in cities and counties." Many fleeing for their lives are willing to join the group.”
Chao Er nodded repeatedly at the side, but Chao Da faintly felt that although the young man was sickly and weak, he was also as taciturn as his face, but his words were to the point after he spoke, and he was secretly guiding and avoiding his questions, unknowingly. , was about to be taken away by him, this kind of speaking skill is not something that ordinary warriors can have, so he turned back to the topic: "It seems that Brother Jia, you are also unwilling to tell me where you come from?"
"Is this very important?" Fu Chen said, "As you can see, I have the blood of the barbarians, and I have hatred for the Yan people, but I have no feelings for the barbarians. Isn't that enough? Or do you have to pry into other people's past to spy on their mentality? For fun?"
Chao Da was choked for the first time, but it was Chao Er who was taught by the young man and felt that what he said was reasonable, so he also turned to Chao Dao: "Brother, I think what he said is reasonable... Didn't you say that when you were a child Have you ever met his mother? Don't worry about his origin anymore..."
Chao Da turned his head to stare at him, and Fu Chen's eyes wandered between the expressions of the two whispering, and said coldly: "Instead of thinking about me here, why not think about how you will deal with the barbarian army when it comes."
After finishing speaking, he got up straight and walked to the door, leaving a dark shadow behind him under the gloomy daylight.
The straight back exudes a wild and unruly aura, and it doesn't look like he has been seriously injured.
When Chao Er saw the person walking away, he said, "Brother, why are you worrying and hesitating here? Why are you mother-in-law and mother-in-law at this time!"
"You idiot!" Chao Da patted Chao Er's head lightly, and lightly reprimanded him, "He was injured all by himself in this wilderness, and he got involved with us as soon as I spared his life. Even if I believe that the childhood experience he said is true, so what? People are separated from each other, let alone so many years have passed, how can you have the confidence that he is not hiding other thoughts to make trouble here?"
"If I had known this before, then if you didn't spare his life in the first place and killed him, wouldn't the matter be over?" Chao Er asked rhetorically.
Chao Da remained silent.
Chao Er let out an angry "Oh", he understood, stared at his brother and said with a smile, "Even brother, you think what he said makes sense, don't you?"
Chao Da gave him a sideways look.
"I'm not talking about you, brother, you want to take advantage of others, and at the same time doubt their intentions. If you have always been so hesitant in doing things, how come you are here today."
"I just think this kid's temperament is too weird, so I'm just on guard." Chao Da explained.
"Strange?" Chao Er was puzzled, contacted the young man's previous behavior, and said resentfully, "Isn't he just a brat who doesn't know what to do and likes to fight fiercely? Didn't you see this kind of person fighting a lot in the streets and alleys when he was young..."
"Then have you ever seen a wounded boy on the street who is not afraid when he sees a group of people coming to fight him? Have you ever seen a street gangster who knows the center of gravity of the marching formation in several counties and counties in the border city, and also understands that the place has always been here?" To the topography of Jinhe? The few words he said can all be connected to the administrative distribution of Yanbei. Even merchants who deal with business everywhere often go through official roads. It is impossible to understand both of them to this extent. .”
"...Brother, where did you find out that he was injured?" Chao Er was puzzled and asked, "I saw that when he took the knife and used the hidden weapon, his movements were very sloppy, he didn't look like someone who was seriously injured... "
"It's true that he can't see any flaws when he moves his hands, but have you seen his walking posture?" Chao Dao said, "His left and right hands are not on the same frequency at all, and his left arm is obviously much stiffer. I felt that my bones were not healed. When he used the hidden weapon to threaten me, the breath he exhaled was short and unstable. Although he tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't hide it from me. The level is not comparable, maybe it is also because of the serious injury... It's really weird."
Chao Er was stunned, and a little embarrassed: "Then I was plotted by him..."
"Practicing martial arts is not a way to go. Jia Sheng has short internal strength, but has other strengths." Chao Da patted him on the shoulder and said, "Be more brainy, Erlang."
"Brother," Chao Er said, "I think you should stop entangled here. Anyway, he is a barbarian, and he won't have anything to do with Yan Bing. At least now, he and we have the same goal. When we and Wuling The brother on the side is connected online, and with so many of us, he dares to make any changes, just kill him directly. No matter how strong his martial arts is, can he single-handedly defeat so many of us?"
"Okay."
At nightfall, the bandits who had been running around during the day returned to the four old houses in the county to settle down.
Fu Chen sat in a corner of the room, opened his clothes and checked the bone injuries on his legs, feet, shoulders and arms.As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to hurt the muscles and bones, but to him time is the most luxurious thing, and he can't delay it for a long time. As far as the current injury is concerned, long-distance travel should be more than enough.He was rigidly guarding the house, waiting for midnight and everyone to fall asleep before slipping out quietly with a horse, it was always much more convenient and quicker to be alone than to follow a group of people.
He was thinking about the route in his mind, when Chao Dachangsang's voice came from outside the door: "Brother Jia."
Fu Chen was a little surprised. Seeing that the door was unlocked, Chao Da stepped in and saw the young man huddled in a corner: "What's wrong? But the wound on your body hasn't healed yet?"
Fu Chen stood up quickly, straightened his body and wiped away the moment of embarrassment just now, and said lightly: "No problem."
Chao Da raised his eyebrows, obviously known that this young man was always prone to being aggressive when it came to his injuries, he put down the wine jar and two pieces of dried meat he brought, and said: "I brought some food, and I will share it in the evening." I saw you didn't go during the meal...you are so young, why don't you spare your life."
The bandit leader said this with sincerity, Fu Chen lost his mind for a moment, followed him to the table in a daze, and said in a low voice: "...Thank you."
He didn't give up too much, he was indeed hungry for a few days, so he picked up the dry food and stuffed it into his mouth.
Chao Da looked at the centipede scar that danced on the young man's left cheek as he chewed, as if it had been carved from the pale Sujuan.
After the young man finished eating, Chao Da stretched out his hand, intending to grab his wrist, but Fu Chen dodged quickly, faster than him, and his eyes became alert: "What are you doing?"
"I also know a little bit about Qihuang," Chao Da said calmly, "Let me check your pulse and see how your condition is."
"No need," Fu Chen refused coldly, rather ruthlessly ungrateful after being full, "You already know what my internal strength is, so why bother to detour here to find out."
"You are really upright," Chao Da shook his head and sighed, he was not a person who would make some twists and turns, he just showed himself clumsy in front of this young man, "I'm telling the truth... Anyway, I just came to see Depending on your situation, by the way, ask which team you will follow tomorrow."
Fu Chen raised his eyebrows: "Has the barbarian made any movement?"
"That's right," Chao Da said in a deep voice, "the news came at night. I plan to set off in two routes after everyone wakes up tomorrow. The first team will follow me from the north to Jingzhou, bypassing the Zeshuimoliu, and the second route will be from Jinzhou to Jingzhou." The rest of the brethren in Wuling City are received from the south along the river. There are also some people here in Tanxian County who need to keep watch at all times. If there is any change here, it is best to adjust as soon as possible, and send letters to inform the whereabouts at any time, and try to avoid Hu. A head-on conflict between humans and barbarians. My plan is that you are wounded and have never been involved in such a thing, why don't you just stay in the county and prepare for the summons?"
"No," Fu Chen said, "I'll follow your team."
"Why?"
"My body injury is already healed," Fu Chen said, "Besides, I am also familiar with the terrain in that area, so I have the advantage of traveling."
"Are you familiar?" Chao Da questioned.
"Before I came to Tan County, I came from Beicheng area." Fu Chen confessed.
Chao Da waited to hear what he said, but found that the young man stopped talking again, and asked, "And then?"
"What then?"
"You've talked to this point, and you still don't want to reveal what you did before?" Chao Da smiled and said, "Even if you make up a lie, I might believe it..."
"Forgive me." Fu Chen still insisted, "I won't say much, just because everything I say is true and I don't bother to cheat."
It is expected that Chao Da lost the desire to inquire at this time, he stared dumbly at the young man for a while, and then smiled slowly: "Brother Jia, I always see that you look familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere, you Do you know me?"
Fu Chen also looked back calmly and said, "I haven't seen it before."
Chao Da raised his eyebrows: "...Is that my illusion?"
"Maybe it's because I have an ordinary appearance, and I have some similarities with everyone in the crowd."
Chao Da shook his head and sighed with a smile: "I don't think you, brother, are really likely to follow us on the road of rebellion."
"...How do you see it?" Fu Chen said calmly.
Chao Da shook the jar of wine that he had just brought on the table, and found that it was already empty. He had been swept away by the young man unknowingly, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, so he stopped his small movements, looked at the young man, leisurely He said: "In this group of people I gathered, they are all ordinary people who have been pushed to the extreme by the government army. I just look into their eyes. Some are honest and some are dishonest. Looking at the past, there are only these two types. Brother Du Jia, you are different."
"Oh?" Fu Chen felt fresh, aroused a bit of interest by his words, and said, "What's different?"
"I'm saying this... Brother, don't be angry," Chao Dao said, "Your eyes... are the 'dead eyes' that I only saw in many dead heads."
Fu Chen fell silent for a moment.
Seeing the young man's expression, Chao Da thought that Cai's words had really offended the Venerable Master, and hurriedly said, "Oh, I'm a big brother, and I can't hold back my words, but brother, you drank all the wine just now, so I won't use it. I apologize..."
The corners of Fu Chen's lips curled slightly, and he squeezed out some sarcasm that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry: "Brother Chao is right, but it's not that mysterious. Obviously, after a few years, you will be completely blind. The eyes of a dead person should look like the eyes of a blind person."
Being stared at by those gray eyes at this moment, Chao Da only felt the coldness of winter.He shook his head and said seriously: "It's still different. The eyes of blind people don't have emotions, but dead people do. After all, they have lived and seen, so they are very different."
"If you want to get to the bottom of it, I have some ideas." Fu Chen looked directly at him and said, "Brother Chao is hiding the truth from the officers and soldiers for such a big battle. There must have been some history."
"Oh?" Chao Da said without changing his face, "Tell me, how did it come about?"
Fu Chen stopped at the point, and didn't want to get entangled in this topic, so he turned to ask: "Then what I said just now, Brother Chao agreed? I will follow the person you brought tomorrow."
"Okay..." Chao Da smiled, feeling that he was a little more drunk than the young man who had just drunk, stood up and stretched his shoulders, and wanted to go out, and said, "You should rest earlier, even if Young people should not disregard the body and destroy the foundation."
Fu Chen didn't speak.
When Chao Da walked to the door, he seemed to be thinking of something again, leaning against the door frame, half turned around and said, "...Jia Sheng."
Fu Chen turned his face away, the hazy moonlight softly enveloped the bandit leader, he blinked his eyes.
"...Your mother will be very relieved if she knows your current situation." Chao Dading took a look at him, then turned and left after speaking.
Glad?
Fu Chen's eyes suddenly froze.
Why are you happy?
Rejoice in the fact that he was foolishly deceived and died soon?Or are you relieved because he doesn't know people clearly and is trapped on the road?
The young man let out a short snort, and the sly smile on his face was even worse. The moonlight washed away the little shadow left in his eyes, making him cool and indifferent.
sleepless nights.
The door was open, and Fu Chen was in the room watching the half-round sun glowing with orange light flying up from the old eaves of the opposite room.
He got up slowly, wrapped a piece of fabric from his clothes to wrap the curly hair scattered behind him, and changed into the ordinary navy blue and short brown suit he borrowed yesterday. After tidying up, he just went out.
According to yesterday's plan, when he walked to the empty road outside the county, Fu Chenguo saw that a group of bandits had gathered one after another. Chao Da, who was at the front, had a serious expression on his face.
When Chao Da saw him coming out, he nodded slightly across the crowd, no longer the pretended intimacy yesterday.
Fu Chen remained silent behind the crowd as usual, and led the horses to the west with the crowd.
But here, Liao Hui and his cavalry rushed to Jingzhou to support them. When they approached Zishui and wanted to cross, they temporarily stationed and rested to provide food and drink. At this time, Juju moved around the border of the East when he heard the wind. He was frightened and angry, and did not stop at the same place. The army set off again. On the one hand, he arranged for Wei Xu to take some soldiers and horses to resist the purge, and on the other hand, he rushed to Jingzhou to observe the situation of the war.
After days of running around, the soldiers were somewhat exhausted.
Wei Xu led his troops from the wild road outside the city to the area of Xiangcheng. The sound of heavy horseshoes came closely, and the brown armor was still shining in the sun.
"This is the red-armored personal guard from the imperial capital," Chao Dayin hid in a high position in the ridge, spying on the passing soldiers secretly, "There must be five or six thousand people up here, and they can't go up to fight the enemy head-on."
"Jingzhou fell, the imperial court will not only send this few troops," Fu Chen said beside Chao Da, "They came from the west, the main army must have arrived there, and specially sent some troops to block the barbarian army Sneak attack."
"Well," Chao Da said in a deep voice, "we have fewer people, and our marching speed is much faster than theirs. Now we have to hurry over there to see the situation there. It's not good brother."
After clarifying the situation, Chao Da led a team behind him and quickly walked across the mountain road.
Under the bright sky, the mountains and trees are quiet, only the human-made noise of the tremors spreads around, ripening the golden golden crows, and the red clouds are like the wrinkles on the old man's forehead, leaving a trace on the white sky.
What Chao Da didn't expect was that when he arrived at the outskirts of Jingzhou after dark, the barbarians who had surrounded the state couldn't hold back the siege for a long time. Going to fight to the death outside the city, the Red Armored Army who had also surrounded the city for a long time did not expect it. After being covered by his fellow troops, he fled, but managed to break out of the encirclement.
"You said that the barbarians have escaped from the city now?" Chao Da was a bit inconceivable when he heard the brothers who had inquired about the news ahead of the team came to report. Should they come a step later?
"Exactly," the bandit replied, "there are so many Yan troops gathered here, it is really inappropriate to start a conflict, brother, let's go back the same way first, the border is in chaos, let's avoid the limelight first and then talk about it later. "
Chao Da pondered for a moment, then called out to a young man a few steps away, "Jia Sheng."
But he saw that the young man didn't know what to think about, holding his eyes down and motionless on the horse, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Just when he was anxious, Chao Da couldn't help raising his voice, and said again: "Jia Sheng!"
Chao Er, who was beside Fu Chen, patted him vigorously when he saw this, and then he came back to his senses, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Chao Da: "...how is it?"
Chao Da didn't have time to find out why he was in a daze just now, so he frowned and said directly: "If you go from here to Wuling City in the southwest of Jingzhou, there are two roads to the east and west, which one is faster?"
Fu Chen raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said: "I advise you not to go there again, I don't know when the barbarians broke in and left. But if the red-armored reinforcements happen to rush here, you take them In the past, it happened to give them a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds."
"But what if the brother over there is captured?" Chao Da asked.
"Even if you've already been captured, it won't help if you go there," Fu Chen mocked coldly, "You guys have no chance of winning if you face the enemy head-on, but if you're talking about revealing your identity, it's very appropriate... If you don't go, their Some people on the side are hiding and walking slowly from the path, but there is still a slight chance of coming back alive."
Chao Da also agrees with what the young man said in his heart, but he is still unwilling in his heart, what is this?Walking on limestone - a waste of time?
Fu Chen looked up at the already dark sky, and urged: "It's already dark now, go back at this time, at least you can reach a safer place before dawn, it's not wise to waste time here."
Chao Da was upset, he didn't pay attention to the way the young man talked to other places more than these two days, so he hastily replied: "I have to do this first!"
Chao Er passed the order to the rest of the brothers. The bandits were hesitant but did not dare to delay, so they obeyed the order and returned home on the spot.
The earth-rock mountain road is not very clear at night, but the hearing is cleaned up very well at this time.
In the dark night, the prying eyes flickered with the hungry wolf Youlu.
"Boss, there's a group of people over there...it doesn't seem to be Yan Jun's attire?"
Santo stared at him and said: "It doesn't matter whether you are a soldier or not! If you see the Yan people, you will kill them. The shame of the butchers is unshakable. Let them see how good we are! This time the city is not well guarded. If we don't kill a few more It’s not in vain to spend so much effort when a Yan man goes back..."
"Santo is right," the barbarian on the side continued, "Anyway, the Yan army has already arrived at Jingzhou one step ahead of us, and their group is no more than a thousand, so they will definitely be able to kill them all."
Chao Da and his party thought that walking in the narrow mountain road was enough to hide their traces, but they didn't want the Hu soldiers who were originally there to support the troops in Jingzhou city still stationed on the hillside and mound beside them.The Jingzhou incident happened quickly, beyond the expectations of the two teams, but unexpectedly they met again on the road.
The incident started when Chao Da, who was in front of the team, first heard the change in the wind.
"There is an ambush!" Chao Da knew in his heart that the team had been rushing for a day, and if they ran into an ambush by Yan soldiers at this time, they would definitely be invincible, "Retreat!"
As soon as the words fell, the heartstrings of a group of bandits behind them were all tense, and they saw people rushing down from the mound in front of them, attacking them.
Fu Chen frowned, pulled the reins and stopped, looking at the ambush soldiers coming from the sky ahead.
Broken Dorosanto?
Fu Chen took a closer look, the head with the empty right arm was not the general Hu who was defeated by him earlier, why is he here?
"No," Fu Chen said in a low voice to Chao Da who was beside him, "This group of barbarians must have come to rescue the barbarians in Jingzhou City. They came prepared, so we can't confront them head-on."
Chao Da had already advanced forward, he raised his saber to attack the comer, the comer was strong and healthy, and he had been resting in the hills for a long time, the force of this horizontal saber was enough to show the strength of the barbarians.
Chao Da's heart is not good, he is afraid that today will be damaged because of this, he must first think of a way to protect some people from rushing out.
The barbarians went on a killing spree, red blood splattered from the necks of the felled gangsters, the dark night was still still, and the ubud was stained with moving red snakes.
"...Jia Sheng," Chao Da dealt with the person in front of him, and secretly approached the young man who was also caught in the fight, his eyes swept around the mountain road, "Is there any way to escape?"
Fu Chen obviously didn't expect the current situation. The bone injury on his arm was involved in the fight, and he began to feel a dull pain. He took a steady breath and said: "The one-armed barbarian in front of you on the left is the leader of this team. , You used to pester him, and I will lead some people to rush out from the hill."
"Okay," Chao Da responded, raised his hand and took out an exquisite object, placed it in front of his lips, and made two sharp cracking sounds, and the aftermath rippled in the air.
This is the secret signal for the bandits to escape.
Chao Da threw the mountain whistle at Fu Chen again, and Fu Chen took it, probably knowing its use, and suddenly felt an untimely trance in his heart, how could this bandit leader trust him so much?
Although the gangsters who heard the whistle knew what it meant, they were still intimidated by his ferocity and bravery when they fought against the barbarians for the first time.
Here, Fu Chen took the lead, broke out from the melee, drove up the hillside, stopped at a high place, and blew his whistle quickly, attracting the attention of the gangsters.
"They want to run!" Santo yelled, "Brothers! Come on! Don't let them escape!"
The Hu crowd pursued even more closely, Fu Chenbiao stopped and went into the fight again, approaching Chao Er, who was in the lead, said: "Chao Er, you lead the troops and horses to retreat up the slope, and your brother is in charge of breaking the rear!"
"I..." Chao Er was shaken by Fan Er while hesitating, he didn't pay attention, and took advantage of the barbarian here again, he leaned over to dodge quickly, avoiding the flying swords and guns.
"You are not a regular army, what kind of heroes are you?" Fu Chen leaned closer to help, and glared, "Go!"
The dead bodies slanted across the ground, and there were many empty horses disturbing the battle situation on the road.
Chao Er subconsciously didn't want to play the role of a fugitive, but the situation forced him, he glanced at Chao Da, then immediately turned his horse's head, ran towards the bandits who were gradually gathering around him, and let out a quick word : "...Then go and help my brother!"
Fu Chen clenched the handle of the saber that he had snatched from his hand, and forcibly suppressed the wound on his shoulder and arm.
A small group of skilled gangsters remained on the road to restrain most of the Hu people. The Hu people attacked fiercely and unreasonably, so they lost some gaps and suffered a lot of wounds on their bodies.
At a glance, Fu Chen saw Chao Dazheng and the one-armed barbarian entangled in the center.He had fought against Podoro Santo, and he knew that he was a ruthless character. At this moment, he and Chao Da were not in the best condition, and the chances of winning a head-on confrontation were not great.
"Chao Da!" Fu Chen's voice was rough and serious, "There is no need to love fighting, the best policy is to walk!"
He rushed out of the Hu soldiers gathered on both sides, his swords and knives were faster than the chance of closing his eyes and opening his eyes, and in a few strokes he took down a few rough Hu soldiers with dexterity.
Santo looked at the man who suddenly joined the battle and came from nowhere. His hair, face and lips were tightly wrapped in coarse cloth, but his eyes were exposed. not out.During the chaotic battle, I had no time to take care of it, so I concentrated on defeating the enemy.
"Why are you here again?" Chao Da said in a tone of reproach and surprise.
While Fu Chen cleared away the barbarians who grew up beside the slanting branches, the more people came to protect the leaders on both wings, the more he felt that he had no time to take care of him, he took a deep breath during the interval, and said: "Your brother took everyone to The higher-ups have escaped, so you have to find a way to get out quickly."
Chao Tianran also sensed that the people in front of him were difficult to deal with, and he was not strong enough, so he forced the horses to charge forward.
He was concentrating on dodging to avoid a heavy blow, but he saw the figure of the predecessor trembled, and suddenly fell forward on the mane of the horse's back. The horse was frightened and wandered around in place.
Chao Da took a closer look, and saw his younger brother's happy smile from behind, and was shocked and angry again: "Why are you back!"
He galloped forward and said, "Go back quickly!"
"Brother, your waist is injured!" Chao Er exclaimed, staring at an extremely long streak of blood on his blood-stained short brown, extending from his forearm to his chest and abdomen, still oozing red fluid.
"Don't worry about it, you go!" Two more barbarians came to kill, and Chao Da turned sideways to resist.
Chao Er also joined in to help, the blades crisscrossed and clanked, gradually becoming weaker than he wanted.
"Jiro!"
Chao Er didn't know what happened, but suddenly he heard Chao Da's exclamation, a huge human figure flew up from the side and threw him down, the horse was frightened and jumped forward, and the two overlapped fell from the horse's back to the ground.Chao Er felt that the back of his head was being protected by a big palm, but the back of his tailbone was in pain from the sudden impact on the ground.
A spray of warm liquid was hotly sprayed on his face, Chao Er stared, looked at his brother who was breathing unsteadily, held his blood-stained cheek in his hands, forgot everything in an instant, and cried out in pain: "Brother——"
This movement also alarmed Fu Chen. Originally, the young man was still trapped in a battle with a few barbarians elsewhere. Hearing the sound, his eyes turned away, watching Santo keep approaching the pair of brothers on the ground. The people on the left and right, raised their hands and quickly sealed several vital points around their bodies, and at the same time used their strength to stand on tiptoe, climbed over from the horse's back, kicked the heads of several Hu people, and flew over the horse that Chao Er just fell off. , swung a knife and stabbed it, right behind Santo's murderous back.
Santo shook his hand holding the knife, and the stabbing pain from his left shoulder made him angry. He immediately turned his horse's head, and saw those strange familiar pupils again, and shouted, "Who are you!"
The one who will break your left arm.
Fu Chen's face was condensed, naturally he didn't want to reveal his identity, and his wolf eyes narrowed.
"...not dead," Chao Da tried to force a smile on his face, but it was too difficult, so he had to give up, "...you allow me...to say a few more words..."
Chao Er froze on the ground and did not dare to move, for fear of involving his brother's wound.Compatriots unite their hearts, the bulging pain in the heart is showing his brother's condition, tremblingly said: "Brother, you say..."
Chao Dahu moved his hand on the back of his younger brother's head, and moved forward to his blood-stained face, sighing deeply.
"Bah!" Santo spat blood and froth outward, very provocative.
In fact, on the shoulders of this barbarian
