Hearing that Ruan Qing wanted to lead the army to attack Deyang City, Zhuge Liang just smiled lightly and waved back the pawns.

He knew in his heart that Ruan Qing's idea was to sneak attack on Deyang, so as to take a detour to enter Chengdu. In fact, he was seeking food from Xieyang Valley, so he just didn't know, so that Ruan Qing could go out smoothly.On the other hand, he sent people to pile up flammable things such as thatched huts in the Valley of the Setting Sun.

Relying on the availability of Gu corpses, Ruan Qing was not afraid of whether Zhuge Liang was playing tricks, so he led a group of troops from the army to attack Deyang City as a feint.The army followed tens of thousands of Gu corpses, and at the crossroads, he ordered the living army to attack Deyang City, while he himself led the Gu corpses to Xieyang Valley.

In Deyang City, in the lobby of the government office, Zhuge Liang lightly shakes his feather fan and sits in the first place.Under the steps, standing in two rows on the left and right, generals from all walks of life, wearing armor and hanging swords.

No one spoke in the room, but a heavy and serious meaning spread around.

Suddenly, a scout ran in, breaking the tranquility.

"Reporting to the military division, a group of people and horses are coming along the small road, holding the banner of 'Ruan'."

Zhuge Liang's eyes did not move, he said, "Huang Zhong."

"Yes." Huang Zhong raised his robe and put his sword on the line.

"Lead an army and go up the Xieyang Valley Road. If you encounter an enemy army, you will only be defeated. Lead the enemy army to the valley, and you withdraw from the path behind the mountain."

"No." Huang Zhong cupped his hands.

"Wei Yan." Zhuge Liang called again.

"Yes." Wei Yan's eyes were bright and energetic, and his appearance was dignified.

"You lead the army to the valley, and when you see the enemy entering the valley, throw down the haystacks you prepared in advance, block the road, and set fire to the valley."

"promise."

After clearing all the roads, Zhuge Liang kept clenching the handle of the fan, determination flashed in his warm and indifferent eyes,

Ruan Qing's soul was broken in Yizhou, and the Gu corpses were wiped out, just today.After this battle, Cao Cao must not dare to spy on Xichuan.

Cao's army all rushed to the city of Deyang, and the Shu army shouted and ran all around, pretending to be a rescue.Ruan Qing saw that the Shu army was going to rescue Deyang, so she drove the corpse to Xieyang Valley.

Huang Zhong stayed at the mouth of the valley, only looking forward to Ruan Qing's arrival.Suddenly saw an army coming, and looked at it with a straight horse.He didn't know Ruan Qing, but he saw Ruan Qing's golden-armored horse, which he thought was a general, so he shouted, "Don't go, the thief!" and greeted him with a sword.

Ruan Qing didn't know Huang Zhong. When he saw a white-bearded veteran, he was not afraid, so he rode his horse and drew his sword to resist.

But after more than ten rendezvous, Huang Zhong pulled his horse and left, leading the soldiers back into the valley.

Ruan Qing just thought that the old general was exhausted and there was a large army following him, so she didn't suspect it and followed and killed him.

He jumped on his horse to show his bravery, and entered the valley first, with all the troops rushing in behind him.

After chasing the old general until he entered the valley, he saw the old general in front of him turn around and disappeared.

He stopped his horse and looked around, only to see thatched huts built on the hillside, and firewood on the huts.

Ruan Qing woke up suddenly.He was not afraid that the front and rear valley entrances would be blocked, and the ambush army would rush out.But if he set fire to all over, I'm afraid the Gu corpses he raised would not be able to resist it.

Thinking of Zhuge Liang's good use of fire attack, Ruan Qing suddenly became anxious, turned around and saw the huge army, not knowing if they all came in, he hurriedly drove the Gu corpse back.

As soon as he thought about it, he heard the screams from the mountains, countless soldiers poured out, threw down the torches, cut off the mouth of the valley, and shot countless rockets all over the sky, falling down with a crackling sound, boiling with a splash when it was dry, and jumping up. A flame several feet high.

The billowing black smoke shot straight into the sky, and the scorching temperature forced people to sweat profusely, like a hot summer day.

Those Gu corpses are controlled by Gu insects planted in their bodies, and they are not afraid of swords and guns.But Gu worms are afraid of fire, a large number of voodoo corpses can't dodge in time, and their bodies catch fire. For a while, the worms are burned madly, and the voodoo corpses dance wildly with their hands and feet, splash and roll, or accidentally bump into unfired voodoo corpses and bring the flames In the past, it was crazy again.

At this moment, the Gu corpse was completely out of Ruan Qing's control, Ruan Qing's face was pale, and his constricted pupils reflected raging fire, which was in harmony with this chaotic scene of death that seemed to come from hell.

"Stop. Stop." Ruan Qing shouted at the top of her voice, "Go and move Taniguchi away."

Ruan Qing's cries were quickly subdued amidst the painful and piercing cries, the clear sound of the flames burning combustibles, and the whistling of fire waves.

"stop……"

The sound stopped abruptly, and Ruan Qing was thrown to the ground by a gu corpse that jumped up suddenly.

The Gu corpse no longer knew its owner at this moment, and its sharp claws fell hard on Ruan Qing's ribs, grabbing a piece of bloody flesh.

Ruan Qing groaned in pain, he subconsciously threw out his right hand, a knife flew out from his palm, pierced through the Gu corpse's head, and flew the Gu corpse several feet away.

The viscous and disgusting liquid from the Gu corpse's skull splashed on his face, and a drop fell between his lips, but he didn't care about it at this moment.

His whole body trembled violently and he arched his body, shrinking a shrimp.

His fingertips fell to the scratched place, and he vaguely felt a piece of hard bone in the sticky, blood-stained bare flesh.

His forehead was covered with cold sweat and blue veins popped out, and the bright flames fell on his hideous face.He opened his mouth, his lips trembled, and wanted to howl, but the severe pain made him almost unable to control himself, and he could only make a few painful "cough coughs" in his throat.

The eyeballs in his widened eyes were almost swollen, and after taking a few breaths, he got up from the ground with shaking hands, covered his wound, staggered a few steps, and struggled to get on the horse's back.

If this goes on, we can only wait for death.The road when he came was full of Gu corpses, he might not be able to return safely, and now, he can only go forward.

Move forward……

He hoped that he would die on the battlefield and not survive, but that was also the result of his trying his best. As long as he still had the strength, he would go back and continue to work for Cao Cao.

Raising his eyes, he saw the Taniguchi in front of him blocked by the raging fire in his blurred vision.

Give it a try.

The horses dare not approach the flames.

He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, pulled out the hairpin, and shouted angrily. 'The hairpin fell hard on the horse's buttocks.

The horse galloped like crazy.Ruan Qing's body was weak, and he was on the verge of falling with the bumps, but he held on to the rein tightly, trying to concentrate, his eyes filled with Ling Ran's cruelty.

The moment he got close to the flame, he clamped his legs on the horse's belly and lifted the reins.

The carefully selected steed became Ruan Qing's mount, jumped up, crossed several feet of fire, landed on the other side, and galloped wildly.

The blood from Ruan Qing's left rib wound was like running water, staining the horse's back, dripping down the path all the way.

Wei Yan, who was watching all this from the top of the mountain, looked at it, frowned, and said coldly, "Catch him."

A series of hurried hoofbeats sounded behind him.A few feathered arrows flashed across his face.

Ruan Qing's mind was a little confused, he only knew that he was going forward.Go forward.

Xieyang Mountain crossed the valley, there was only one road, and all the way up was the cliff.

Ruan Qing saw a vast expanse in the distance.But the pursuers behind him were in a hurry, he couldn't stop, and he couldn't retreat.

The horse, which had been hit by several arrows, finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground.

Ruan Qing fell to the ground and rolled a few times, scratched the ground with his hands, digging dirt under his nails, and climbed to the edge of the cliff with difficulty. He poked his head out and saw that the bottom was bottomless. wide awake.

Sitting up with great effort, he glanced coldly behind him, only to see that the pursuers had already dismounted, five or six steps away from him, pointing at him with bow strings to prevent him from fighting back.Standing in the middle is the veteran with the white beard.

Huang Zhong saw that Ruan Qing was seriously wounded and managed to escape, and was besieged without showing timidity. He couldn't help admiring him. Seeing that Ruan Qing was so young, he couldn't help cherishing his talents. He said, "Little general, my master cherishes the virtuous." Cai, you have this ability, you might as well surrender now, wouldn’t it be better to assist Uncle Liu Huang Kuang to help the Han family than to work for Cao thief and die here without anyone knowing?”

surrender?There will always be a day when he knows that he is Ruan Qing, the prefect of Hanzhong.At that time, it is inevitable to be humiliated.

Come on, come on, he deserves to die, he died today, and he will repay Cao Cao's kindness of nurturing and searching for him all these years with his life.One dies two cleans.

Thinking, Ruan Qing looked sideways, looking at the mountains beyond the cliff, the layers of floating clouds between the vast sky and the earth, and a mighty day.

The world is vast, why is he not willing to accommodate him.Decades of military service, no matter how old he is, why should he be obsessed with his past love.

Thinking of Yuan Qing, Ruan Qing's heart was no longer disturbed, but she still hoped that Yuan Qing would stay by Cao Cao's side and continue to serve Cao Cao for him.

He raised his head and laughed loudly, and said in a calm voice, "My lord, Ruan Qing has returned your kindness."

After all, he fell over the cliff and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Huang Zhong was terrified, and when he came to the edge of the cliff, only the breeze was blowing.

The pawn on the side said, "General, this place is called Yingjianchou, if you jump down like this, I'm afraid no one will survive."

Huang Zhong sighed regretfully, "Let's go."

That way you don't have to go down to find the body.It's just a pity to lose a fierce man.

The whistling wind was all around her ears, the cliff was so high that even Ruan Qing could think about why she wasn't dead yet.

Also due to Ruan Qing's good luck, a strange-shaped pine tree grew on the cliff between the cliffs, alone on the cliff.

Ruan Qing landed on it, and before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the thin branches couldn't withstand the pressure, and they snapped apart, and Ruan Qing fell down again.

Suddenly there was severe pain in his chest, which even covered up the pain in his ribs.

He stopped.

It turned out that there was a small dead tree under the pine tree, which was broken in the middle, and the roots were still stuck in the soil, and the bare half of the trunk stood upright.

Ruan Qing landed on it, and the huge impact caused the tree trunk to pass through his chest.

He was hung on his back with his waist bowed, his hands and feet were spread wide, and his black hair was scattered, dragging on the ground.

The half of the trunk exposed on the chest was stained with blood, and there were still a few fleshy spots on the jagged and sharp cut.The blood from the body flowed down the lower half of the tree trunk and slowly flowed to the ground, nourishing the dead trees.

No matter how finely it was raised in Xuchang, it will only end up in a mess now.

Ruan Qing stared blankly at the distant sky, her thoughts gradually emptied, as if everything was far away from him.

One mouthful after another of thick blood poured out of his mouth, but he couldn't feel it either.

It hurts……

But his eyes were so dry that he couldn't shed half a tear.

Are you going to die?

Ruan Qing was a little tired.

It's okay to die.On this journey, he tried his best not to survive, but he had to do his best to survive.

Now that it's like this, you don't have to struggle to go back.

The wind at the bottom of the cliff made him a little cold.

There was silence at the bottom of the barren cliff.In this kind of place, he felt his gradually cooling body, and even heard the sound of dripping blood flowing out.

He was suddenly curious, would Cao Cao be sad if he died?

Probably not.There are many virtuous ministers and capable generals in the court, and Yuan Qing is there.It was never Cao Cao who needed him, but he was always in need of Cao Cao.

Thinking of this, Ruan Qing's heart that seemed to be cold all the time suddenly twitched twice in pain.

He didn't understand why at this time, he would think of Cao Cao's white hair on the sideburns, and Jiangdong, which Cao Cao could not conquer for a long time.Although he can't remember the details in his memory, he still remembers that at the end of history, Cao Cao did not rule the world until his death.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt sorry for Cao Cao. He didn't want Cao Cao to fail in his lifelong hegemony, and he could only regret it for the rest of his life.

He hated himself for not living up to expectations. At this moment, he was still thinking about Cao Cao.

But he is clear that the world of mortals is so chaotic, and it makes him sad to think about it. After all, he is reluctant to let Cao Cao carry it alone.

He should go back, even if he has breath, he should go back.This is what he owes, and he has to pay it back.

The fingers that had been frozen all this time moved, and the desire to live gradually grew in his heart.He wants to live.

People have desires, but they are greedy and weak.

The yin qi that had been suppressed in the body's meridians suddenly rose violently, every inch of his muscles and bones seemed to be crushed, his brows were furrowed in pain, and he whimpered sadly.

The fallen Gu corpses in Xieyang Valley, the resentment lingered in their bodies when they were killed seemed to have life, and gathered towards the bottom of the cliff one after another.

The war on the land of Kyushu has been going on for several years, every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood, the resentment left by countless killings in the world is like a calm lake, now it also boils and flows to Ruan Qing.

Ruan Qing's half-closed eyes widened in an instant, and the snow-white eyeballs covered with bloodshot eyes gradually gathered into the pupils, and the color inside the light brown pupils also became pitch black, like a starless night sky, empty and gloomy.

A steady stream of resentment roamed and collided in his body, like a person who has been hungry for a long time suddenly eats too much, and his stomach hurts almost to burst.Ruan Qing felt that her body was going to burst in the next second.

A strong resentment enveloped him,

The tips of the hair and the robes were blown up violently.

The tree trunk in his body couldn't bear the overwhelming resentment and shattered into powder.

Ruan Qing fell to the ground.He curled himself up tightly, refusing to make a sound, and alone endured the pain of reshaping his bones and bones after being crushed.

The clouds above passed quickly.The sky, which was originally clear, was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the wind was blowing.Behind the thick dark clouds came rumbling thunder, muffled and deafening, as if rolling from the sky.

33 In the sky, Gou Chen, dressed in a heavy black imperial suit, sat cross-legged in front of the chessboard, with the hem of his clothes spread out behind him.

He seems to be waiting for something, propping his chin, bored, playing chess pieces with his slender and white fingers.

At this time, I seemed to feel something, and looked down the steps, only to see that the human slaughter trapped under the floor was boiling like boiling water.

"Ha." There was a faint smile on Qingjun's face, and there was a bit of joy in Runya's voice, "It's started."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and dropped the chess piece in his hand on the Tianyuan position on the chessboard where no chess pieces were left.

After a while, just when people thought there would be a downpour, the dark clouds dispersed.

Ruan Qing, who was drenched in sweat, opened her eyes, the pupils of which were dark and dark.

On the pale cheeks, the blood-red lips parted slightly.

He said, "Ruan Qing, a Taoyuan disciple, betrayed today."

Sitting up, I felt a burning pain in my chest.

Pulling off the collar, I saw that the wound just now had disappeared.The piece of skin that Yuan Ling was sticking to was hot and red, as if it had been scorched by an iron, but it was black yin energy that came out.

For the first time, he took off Yuan Ling who had been with him for decades and never left him, and watched quietly while holding the rope.

Without Yuan Ling's touch, that piece of skin no longer hurts, only a scalded scar is left, which is ugly.I think I won't be able to wear low-necked clothes in the future.

Tore off a piece of fabric, wrapped Yuan Ling, and put it away.

Qingfeng is dead, the mahogany hairpin is lost, and the wrong golden sword is also lost.But it doesn't matter, anyway, he can't touch that most yang and pure thing again.Now this last remaining Yuanling, he might not be able to touch it in the future.

Is he alive again?

Ruan Qing touched her cheek in a daze, but she couldn't feel any warmth, and pressed it against her chest again, and couldn't feel any beating anymore.

Looking at his fingertips, a wisp of black air emerged.He saw his gaze turned to a dead sparrow on the edge of the cliff again, and his heart moved, the sparrow fluttered its sharp wings, landed on his branch, and stared at him stiffly.

He seems to have thought of a way to take down Chengdu.With a wave of his hand, the sparrow flew up to the cliff, overlooking the whole mountain.Under the leadership of the sparrow, Ruan Qing embarked on the road out of the mountain.

A young general who had fled desperately from the city of Deyang returned to the camp in front of the Jiange to report.

Xia Houyuan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked about Ruan Qing's whereabouts.

The young general shook his head, and said with a sad expression, "The Xieyang Valley was intercepted by the enemy, and the fireworks inside covered the sun. I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape."

Xia Houyuan's face was pale, and he sat on the couch in a daze, not speaking for a long time.

Cao Zhang on the side lowered his head, his clenched fists trembled slightly, and his breathing was heavy.

Suddenly, he walked out.

"Ziwen!" Xia Houyuan was afraid that Cao Zhang would make a fuss, so he hurriedly called out.

Cao Zhang just walked forward in suspense.

Xia Houyuan stopped in front of the opponent in two or three steps, "What are you doing?"

"Uncle." Cao Zhang raised his head suddenly, revealing a pair of red and wet eyes.He gritted his teeth, restraining the trembling voice as if there were monstrous hatred and endless sadness.Staring at Xia Houyuan closely, he said as if he was praying, "Let me send troops, I will go to Xieyang Valley."

"Nonsense." Xia Houyuan frowned, "How do you know that Zhuge Liang didn't arrange an ambush?"

"Then bring more troops over there." Cao Zhang suddenly collapsed, took a step back, the veins on his neck bulged, his eyes were full of tears, and he shouted at Xia Houyuan, "I don't believe he will die, I want to see it with my own eyes. If it is true His father is dead, Mr. went to the battle for his father, he should not be picked up by the enemy in the wilderness, he should be enshrined and returned to his hometown for a proper burial."

Xia Houyuan watched the young boy howling at him like a leopard, and suddenly thought of Ruan Qing's willful appearance following his buttocks to learn archery when he was young.

With a sob in his throat, Xia Houyuan said in a deep voice, "Calm down, Moore has brought you by his side to teach for so long, and he absolutely doesn't want to see you acting recklessly and only relying on brute force when encountering things."

"That's different." Cao Zhang retorted.

"Why is it different?" Xia Houyuan said loudly over Cao Zhang, "Everyone has thought about not being able to survive after entering the battlefield. How can we send more soldiers to die because of Ruan Qing now?"

Cao Zhang looked at Xia Houyuan in disbelief, and said hoarsely for a moment, "Today I know why my husband is so favored by his father, but still lives so aggrieved."

After finishing speaking, he rubbed shoulders with Xia Houyuan and wanted to leave.

"Ziwen." Xia Houyuan called out.

Cao Zhang paused, "I'm not going to send troops, I'll go for a walk by myself."

Seeing people leave the big tent, Xia Houyuan closed his eyes and sighed lightly, his eyes turned red.

Now that he is leading the army, he has a great relationship, so he must not fall into the trap and exhaust the entire army to death.So, don't blame him, Ruan Qing.

Cao Zhang got out of the big account.I saw everyone busy doing their own things.

My heart became colder.

No wonder Ruan Qing became more cautious every time she received various gifts from Duke Wei.

Because Ruan Qing has long seen through that she is alone, if she makes a mistake, no blood relatives will be willing to intercede for her.How indifferent and unpredictable the king's affection is, how can it be used as a guard of honor.

As it is now, for the sake of the overall situation of the army, Ruan Qing was easily thrown away.Anyway, Ruan Qing didn't have any relatives, so when he returned home, he erected a tomb to show his merits, so no one would pay homage to her.

As for his father, he would even say that Uncle Xia Hou was taking care of the overall situation in this way, and there was nothing wrong with it, so let's reward him.Uncle Yuan is the clan of the Cao family, and he followed his father to expand the territory, how could he be reprimanded for such a trivial matter?

Cao Zhang thought of the clan banquet a few years ago, full of blood relatives.Only Ruan Qing, even if she was favored and got a place by chance, she was still alone.

If Ruan Qing knew that Cao Zhang was wronged by him now, he would probably have a stomachache that was funny.

It's not the first time being abandoned.When Ruan Qing fought with Cao Cao and led troops to search for herbs, he was also abandoned by Cao Cao once when he was attacked by the enemy.Cao Zhang was estranged because Xia Houyuan refused to find the bones, and Ruan Qing wanted to call Qu on Xiahouyuan's behalf.

The author has something to say:

I would like to recommend to everyone the song "The Song of the Red Dust" sung by Mo Mingqi for many years. At that time, the ancient style circle was just emerging.The song is cheerful, but the lyrics are so thorough that it shocks people's hearts.

Let me recommend a short poem written by teacher Shi Hang,

How chaotic the world of mortals is, I can't tell you.

No matter how much you have suffered, you may not be able to escape.

You pretended to be prepared, pretended to find me.

In fact, there is no trace of me, only the wind blows by.

How messy the world of mortals is, wrapping up the old mountains and rivers.

Qian Qiuxue is in front of her eyes, but a hornet's nest is in her heart.

If you can't stay together forever, sing a song for me.

Sing that if you become a Buddha, you don't mind if I am a demon.
