"Second brother, the officers and soldiers have really retreated thirty miles!"

Sun Babat reported the inquiring news to Gu Rentu, who sat in a high position with a blank face, twirling the Buddhist beads in his hands, and would not forget that he changed people under the same conditions three days ago, but got a completely different result ?.In just a few days, the strength of the two sides has been changing, why did the officers and soldiers lower their attitude?

Then? Send people down to investigate. This time even the brothers from Zuozhang Peak, Right Palm Peak and Langwei Peak also came to the main peak to report?

"Second brother, the officers and soldiers have left? Should we go down the mountain or continue to defend on the mountain?" Zhang Ha | Toad asked on behalf of everyone.

"The boundary of Langshan Mountain has been exposed. You can't stay on the mountain. You issue an order to go down now. Brothers from all peaks will each bring twenty catties of rations, and come down the mountain with me at midnight tonight."

"where to?"

"Where are you going? I will inform everyone before tonight. Prepare dry food and water first, and prepare to pull out the camp."

"What about the stolen official silver and the remaining food?"

"Take a small part of the silver, leave the rest, and burn the food!"

"This... these silvers were robbed with great difficulty by the brothers. Isn't it a pity to lose them like this?" Zhang Toad felt a little distressed.

"Is money more important or life more important?" Gu Rentu reprimanded him, "Immediately follow my orders. In addition, those two captives must be strictly guarded, and none of them can be released. Now they are our life-saving talismans! "

It was already dark when Cen Zhu woke up? She had a fever and a severe headache.It feels like the body is lying on a ship that is tossed and tossed by the waves.The heavy panting above her head and the chaotic footsteps around her made her realize that she was caught in a team that was hurrying on its way?The back that was in direct contact with the thick vine was so painful that she couldn't help "coughing"? With a sound, her chest and abdomen were immediately attached. With a moderately strong hand, gently tap the key point, The blockage in her trachea was slowly cleared?

She sighed comfortably and continued to pass out.It wasn't until the body stopped shaking that he woke up exhausted in a ruined temple surrounded by wind.

Opening her eyes, she saw Gu Qing's shadow. She was sitting by the campfire with her legs curled up, her arms hugging her knees, her head tilted on top, looking like she lost her soul. The snoring sounds of many people merged into a strange hypnotic tune, which made half of the people sleep more deeply and the other half more awake.

Cen Zhuo was so violent? With a cough, Gu Qing immediately raised his head, wiped his eyes in a panic, and turned to look at Cen Zhuo by the haystack.Cen Zhu was supported to sit up, exhaled hot air from his lungs, and applied the back of his hand to his hot forehead. Looking at it, Gu Qing murmured: "I'm sorry, I kept it from you."

Gu Qing was startled? Startled, mist formed in his eyes. "But your brother is your brother, and you are you. In my eyes, you will always be the kindest Gu Qing. What can Gu Rentu do? Everything has nothing to do with you. Promise me, don't take the sins you shouldn't have on yourself ,May I?"

Cen Zhu finished speaking in one breath, his face turned red, and he couldn't help coughing again.Gu Qing hurriedly helped her calm down the disordered breathing in her chest, and gave Cen Zhu some water.

Even the softest water, flowing through the throat, caused a tearing pain deep in the throat.Cen Zhu swallowed two sips of water with difficulty, then refused to drink any more, grabbed her hand again, and continued to ask without giving up: "Is it okay?" He insisted on getting a definite answer from her.

She knows that Gu Qing is kind-hearted, but sometimes excessive kindness can become a bondage to her heart.If she doesn't cut through the grievances between her and Gu Rentu now, she will have to take all the sins on herself.

With crystal teardrops in Gu Qing's eyes, he bit his lip and nodded vigorously.Cen Zhu felt relieved for a while, and then lay down again weakly.After resting for a while, she gasped on her back and took a few breaths, then she turned her face and stretched out her hand towards Gu Qing.The latter bit his lip, leaned over her and shed tears quietly.Cen Zhu patted her on the back, comforting her in a low voice, like comforting a helpless little sister.

When Gu Rentu came back from patrol and saw this scene at the door, his throat rolled, and he stood there for a long time without saying a word, then turned and left the broken temple.

"Break camp and set off!"

When it was almost dawn, Gu Rentu woke everyone up and continued on the road.Cen Zhu was still being carried on a stretcher, and seemed to be getting sicker. He vomited four or five times on the way, throwing up all the dry food he had eaten.The whole person was as weak as a piece of paper, his originally beautiful face was sunken, and his eyes were blue and frightening.

Zhang Ha|Toad looked at her drooping outside the stretcher with a painful expression, and couldn't bear it, "This is not the way to go, big brother, you can't vomit anymore? If you vomit again, you will vomit out the bile!"

In Cen Zhu's head, he was dizzy, and really wanted to get up and give Zhang Ha|Toad a club. Do you think I think so?It's a pity that there is no strength left in the whole body.Gu Rentu signaled for the team to pause and come over to check on Cen Zhu's situation.

Zhang Ha|Toad pinched his nose and pointed at the words written by Gu Qing on the ground with a branch, "Second brother, come and see, what did this big girl write? What is it? I don't quite understand it."

He was illiterate, so he could only look at Gu Qing's handwriting in admiration.Gu Rentu glanced at the writing on the ground, and saw that Gu Qing had written? Yes, Cen Zhuo might have tuberculosis. If not treated in time, he might die. She thought of picking some medicine from the opposite mountain to treat Cen Zhuo's illness. .

Cen Zhu's illness came very suddenly, no one expected it to be so serious.Originally, she was expected to be a talisman, but after going down the mountain, she became a burden to the team.Some small leaders in the team already advocated throwing her away, saying that throwing her away is nice, and the premise of throwing her away is to kill her.Gu Rentu and Zhang Ha|Toa naturally refused, so they carried her reluctantly.

Gu Qing looked at Gu Rentu with a hesitant look, thinking that he didn't believe that Cen Zhu's illness would be so serious, so he wrote on the ground again? The origin of Cen Zhu's illness said that she came to Langshan with illness. The illnesses on her body were not fully healed, so she traveled thousands of miles to accompany and take care of her.

It's not that Gu Rentu doesn't believe it, it's just that if he stays here for a while, it will be more dangerous.He sensitively sensed that the court's hawks and dogs were about to catch up.After weighing it for a while, he decided to take a risk and rest on the spot, and signaled Batman Sun to take a few brothers and Gu Qing to gather medicine together.

Gu Qing heaved a sigh of relief, and when she parted, she carried Cen Zhu to lie down under the shade of a tree. Seeing that her face was pale and almost bloodless, she took a long time to breathe hard, as if there was only one breath left in her chest, she was afraid that Cen Zhu would not be able to hold on. , Caring again and again and couldn't bear to leave.

Gu Rentu then said: "Just go, she will be fine with me here."

Gu Qing stared blankly at the face that was very different from what he remembered, and his fingers trembled slightly.Cen Zhu suddenly opened his eyes, and gently said encouragingly: "Go, go early and return early, I will wait here for your return."

After Gu Qing left, Cen Zhu let out a long breath, folded her hands in front of her belly, and looked at the crown of the tree with countless lights, and the leaves on the tree were tinkling like wind chimes. The soul is also drawn by the ringtone? Floating far away.

"Oh, I can't take a breath, where should I go?" She slowly closed her eyelids, shedding two unwilling and reluctant tears, ding dong, and soaked into the soil under her feet?

At the same time, screams of killing suddenly sounded around the sky. Some of Gu Rentu's subordinates didn't want to follow anymore? He fled together and joined forces to rebel in an attempt to kill him, the "culprit".

The vicious bandits killed each other in this narrow mountain road, and the bloody corpses fell one after another beside the haggard body under the shade of the trees.The exchange of weapons and the shrill shouts echoed endlessly in the valley.

When Gu Qing and others came back, they were all shocked when they saw the scene of blood flowing on the mountain road.Gu Qing hugged the burden of many medicinal herbs, and rushed to the side of the motionless Cen Zhu.Seeing her with her eyelids closed, lying quietly on a stretcher made of rattan, with trembling hands stretched out to the tip of her nose, two hot teardrops rolled out of her eyes suddenly.

Sun Bat flew to the shade of the tree, and the corpses at Gu Rentu's feet were about to pile up into a hill. He held a huge black knife in his hand, looking like a giant spirit god? Emotions of frustration and disappointment.

"Second brother, fourth brother, what happened?"

"Wang Shiba's gang of sons of bitches dared to take advantage of our unpreparedness to rebel!" Zhang Toad wiped the blood from his face and cursed, "I'm going to kill him? He's a bunch of bastards!"

Sun Babat stomped his feet: "When the second brother asked me to lose money on the mountain, I had already seen that this group of people had evil intentions. This group of people who are desperate for money must return it? They are thinking about the money. I shouldn't have taken them in at the beginning. Up the mountain!"

"Let them think about it, they will die on it sooner or later." Gu Rentu said coldly, "Go and see, how are the casualties, brothers? It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, we need to hurry as soon as possible."

Sun Baba went to count the number of casualties. Gu Rentu turned his head and saw that Gu Qing had chewed up the herbal medicine desperately. He opened Cen Zhu's mouth in desperation. Tears remained, and he squeezed the green medicine juice into her mouth forcefully. There was a rare trace of sadness in the blade-like eyes.

Zhang Ha|Toad was shocked when he saw blood on his left shoulder: "Second brother, you bleed..."

Gu Rentu made a gesture of pushing his hands to signal him to be quiet, Zhang Ha|Toa had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, but tore off a part of his sleeve, and bandaged Gu Rentu's wound.

According to Bat Sun's statistics, there are only less than 2000 bandits left in the 100-strong bandit team that retreated from the Wolf Mountain.Except for two or 300 people who were taken away by Wang Shiba's rebellion, and more than 100 brothers who died in the battle, most of the bandits fled on the way.This is the normal state of a fleeing team. Among the bandits who have no morals, the situation of distraction is particularly serious. At the beginning, they were able to kill a few people to frighten them. Later, more people fled, and even the murderers began to flee. up?.

Gu Rentu couldn't help suspecting that this was a tactic used by the imperial army to advance by retreating. First, they withdrew their troops for [-] miles to let the bandits think they had gained a chance to breathe. It began to disintegrate, crumble.

Sun Baba hurriedly came back to report: "Second brother, the son-in-law is gone? Maybe he was taken away by Wang Shiba's son-in-law?" Brother Hao said: "I, Gu Rentu, was attacked by a villain today and suffered such a heavy defeat. I really can't bear to cut off the lives of all brothers. If there are any brothers who still want to leave, Gu will make a solemn oath here and never I won’t stop you, you just go. However, if there is one remaining brother who is willing to continue to follow me, I swear to someone that I will treat him as my own brother, lead him to escape to heaven, and make a comeback in the future!”

"Little brother is willing to follow the second brother for life!" Zhang Toad responded first, followed by the passionate grandson Bat, "I am willing too!" However, the remaining [-] people looked at each other in blank dismay, and there were only a few who responded.

Gu Rentu glanced over coldly, "If that's the case, let's part ways here! We will still be brothers when we meet again."

On the quiet mountain road, scattered bandits were constantly caught.Li Jingchen led a small force to shuttle through the mountains and forests, constantly asking the bandits about the whereabouts of Gu Rentu and his party.In the evening, a small group of rout bandits was captured, but the clues were suddenly cut off.

This group was the one who parted ways with Gu Rentu in the end.From their mouths, Li Jingchen learned that there was a fratricide among the bandits at noon, after which Gu Rentu abandoned most of the team and fled with a dozen or so people.

"Seeing that the situation is over, Gu Rentu began to cut his tail to save his life."

Li Jingchen rushed to the scene of the incident non-stop, and from a long distance away, he could smell the overwhelming smell of blood permeating the mountains and forests.Her scalp was numb, and she reined in and dismounted nearby. Seeing the mutilated corpses all over the mountain, her nerves were tense to the extreme.

Suddenly, she saw a motionless figure lying horizontally under the shade of a tree.Two hands folded quietly in front of the abdomen, looking up at the gray-blue sky above his head, quietly closing his eyelids.

The soles of her feet softened, and she couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
