Rui Hegui

Chapter 59

Five miles away from the east of Shaoshan, more than ten thousand Hezhou army servants rushed over. The leading general was very big and tall, he was taller than the others, he carried a black iron epee on his back, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he was not angry. state.

This man is the guard of Hezhou, the cousin of Jin Rui, the prefect of Hezhou, Jin Hao.

"Have all the grandsons who stood guard in front been killed?" Jin Hao looked at the sky and asked the young general who rode his horse back.

"Go back to the general, everything has been dealt with!"

"Okay!" Jin Hao laughed loudly, "I didn't like Han Zhou who received a thousand knives earlier, so I found a chance to beat him up today."

With Jin Hao's order, the Hezhou army divided into three long dragons, and then hid in the surrounding woods like a stream of water, and marched westward.

Shao Shanxi.

Chu Bandit and others had just finished a fierce battle, lost nearly half of their horses, and were forced to retreat to a valley, but the Zhennan Army who followed suddenly withdrew eastward.

Bandit Chu, who was hiding behind the jungle, wiped the blood off his face with his thumb, and said, "It should be Xue Shangshu who deliberately exposed his whereabouts over there."

Zhao Liangyue frowned, and said: "We can't take care of ourselves now, Senior Xue can only wait for reinforcements from the Hezhou Army."

"It's not that you can't be busy at all." Chu bandit called the remaining fifty attendants and said, "I will take care of your wives and children in the capital."

The attendants understood that they were going to be dead soldiers, and said in unison: "I am willing to go through fire and water for my lord, and I will die!"

Bandit Chu nodded, took out the map of Ningzhou in his sleeve, pointed to a few places, and said: "Ten people act at one time, divided into five places, and the cold arrows are the main ones. Don't fight head-on. The State Army is buying time."

Fifty attendants took the order and quickly mounted their horses and galloped away.

Zhao Liangyue got up and took the map in Bandit Chu's hands, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help feeling: "Senior brother's arrangement is really effective in surprising soldiers. These five places are densely packed with mountains and forests, which are easy to hide and avoid, and are places that the sentinels tend to ignore."

"However, Han Zhou has led the army for more than ten years, and he is old and deceitful. After all, this is just a stopgap measure, which is not enough." Chu Bandit glanced at the direction where his attendants left, and said, "In another quarter of an hour, Han Zhou's people are bound to kill us. Trapped, it will be difficult to fly with wings."

Zhao Liangyue said: "So, why don't we just go east."

"I think so too." Bandit Chu said as if remembering something, sighed lightly, and said, "Oh, the last time I saw Jin Hao was five years ago, and at that time I specially gave him a box of military books, I don’t know if it will work or not.”

Chu Bandit spoke in a relaxed tone. In such a tense atmosphere, Zhao Liangyue couldn't help smiling, and said, "Then pray that the box of military books of senior brother can save us today."

The backbone gags like this, and the anxiety of other people also subsides, and instead they have the indifference of seeing death as at home.

At this time, a tripman came back.

Zhuo Chuan stepped forward and asked, "Are you the only one who came back?"

"Yes, only the east side is slightly weaker."

Youbai thought about it, and asked Zhao Liangyue: "My lord, do they not pay so much attention to the east because they think we will retreat to the rear?"

Zhao Liangyue shook his head and said: "On the contrary, it is expected that we will go east, so we deliberately invite you into the urn."

Bandit Chu narrowed his peach blossom eyes halfway, and said: "Besides, we still have to enter this urn."

The long wind picked up again, and swept the entire Shaoshan wildly. For a while, the blue waves were like the sea, and at the same time, murderous intentions were everywhere.

On the plains of Shaoshanxi, the Zhennan Army has set up special checkpoints and is ready for battle.

At three o'clock, a sentry came to report. Han Zhou sneered, then took the armor presented by the young general, got on his horse and left the camp.

Ten miles westward, it was the place where Chu Bandit and others were besieged.

Here is a bamboo forest, and there is a small stream in it, but it is almost dry, and it looks a bit abrupt in this rainy southwest, but there is still a trickle flowing through it. Over time, the stones in the stream have left shallow traces. .

There is no complete dead end in the world - this is what Zhao Liangyue thought when he saw this stream.

"Chu Shangshu, long time no see."

The Zhennan Army, which was surrounded by darkness, never advanced or retreated. Chu Bandit and Zhao Liangyue sat on the ground and closed their eyes for a rest. Hearing the sound, they raised their heads to look at the oncoming people.

Han Zhou has a dignified body, sharp facial features, and a murderous aura all over his body. At this moment, he looked down at the two of them, as if watching two prey, with a lot of thoughtfulness.

Zhao Liangyue suddenly felt that Han Ting belonged to the Han family after all, he actually looked very similar to Prime Minister Han and Han Zhou, and his facial features were also very sharp, but he treats people kindly and people often ignore this matter.

Bandit Chu helped Zhao Liangyue get up together, bowed casually to Han Zhou, and said, "The last time Shuai Han returned to Beijing to report on his work, Chu and Shuai Han had a quick meeting, but it's not been a long time." Bandit Chu paused, He smiled and asked, "It's just that Han Shuai wanted to deal with Chu Bandit's siege and interception today, but he was ordered by the court?"

"According to what Chu Shangshu said, it seems that this commander is avenging his own personal revenge." Han Zhou clasped his fists and headed north towards Kyoto, and said, "This commander found out conclusive evidence after he got the news that you hacked the court official in Ningzhou City privately. , came to the side of the Qing emperor in accordance with the Daxu law code, lest you and other villains return to Beijing with false evidence, create unjust cases, and slander the Qing officials!"

So high-sounding, so black and white upside down.

But Bandit Chu was not angry, and his peach blossom eyes were even tinged with a faint smile.

"I heard that Chu Shangshu's opera is better than Xuefangyuan, and I saw it today." Han Zhou rode his horse and walked a few steps forward, looked at Chu Bandit across the air, and asked, "Chu Shangshu, come now!" You're about to die, don't you plan to express the anger and unwillingness in your heart for the past 13 years?"

"Tell everyone in Daxu that you are not a treacherous official, you have not abandoned the Fan family army, you have not betrayed your teacher, you have not been a son of man in vain, you have endured humiliation all these years in order to retry the old case of Marquis Wu'an's treason one day."

"Tell me, Chu Shangshu, don't you want to say it? Say it, or you won't be able to say it in the future, and you can only leave your infamy forever."

Zhao Liangyue knew that this was Han Zhou's aggressive method. He wanted Chu Bandit to admit in public that he still cared about treasonous ministers back then. He was dissatisfied with Emperor Jianning, who personally handled the case, and the Daxu court.

But in the end, every word punishes the heart and hits the key point.

Zhao Liangyue wasn't worried that Bandit Chu would get out of control because of this, but inexplicably felt a sense of sadness and loneliness in his heart, as if he was walking in the middle of winter, wearing a thick cloak, but saw a thin-clothed person standing in the middle of the wind and rain. In the midst of the heavy snow and the biting wind, he still smiled at himself, saying that he was not cold.

Brother...

Zhao Liangyue called out silently in his heart, looking at Chu Bandit's calm face, he looked at Han Zhou calmly with his hands behind his hands, his peach blossom eyes seemed to hide thousands of troops, his whole body was like a towering mountain.

Bandit Chu directly bypassed Han Zhou's question, and asked instead: "Han Shuai has always been decisive in killing, why is he so hesitant today? Let Chu guess if something major happened in Beijing, so Han Shuai must find a ten-for-one Can you kill me for the first time in order to prevent people from being caught?"

The expression on Han Zhou's face remained unchanged, and he said, "Shangshu Chu is just imagining it. At the foot of the emperor, the capital is prosperous like brocade, and the people are happy to work. How can something big happen?"

"That's it." Bandit Chu clicked his tongue, looked at the Zhennan Army around the circle, and asked with a smile, "Han Shuai, you sent both the Zhennan Army and the Ningzhou Defenders to arrest you, but you still let them When I get here, I want you, Han Shuai, to do it yourself, don't you think there is a ghost among your people?"

Han Zhou half-closed his eyes and looked at Bandit Chu, finally showing anger, and said, "This commander shouldn't talk nonsense with you!"

While speaking, Han Zhou had already removed the silver gun from his back, and stabbed at Bandit Chu's face.

With a clang, Youbai had already blocked Chu bandit with a knife, and cut off the handle of the silver spear in Han Zhou's hand with one move, and forced him to retreat a few steps.

Han Zhou was shocked, and shouted to the side: "Bring me the iron whip!"

The subordinates quickly presented the weapon used by Han Zhou on the battlefield, a four-foot long iron whip, and the gloomy cold light matched his master's killing spirit very well.

Han Zhou got off his horse with a whip, turned around and charged at the same time as he moved forward, and swept towards Youbai.

Youbai knew at a glance that the iron whip was a superior and peerless weapon, and he didn't intend to use the knife in his hand to catch it, but dodged it, and at the same time grabbed the bamboo with his hands as a shaft, and let his body turn around the bamboo.

The next moment, the iron whip had already cut off several bamboos in front of him. Youbai left the bamboos, landed on the ground and leaned over to avoid another attack from Han Zhou, and then jumped up looking for an opportunity to slash the knife towards Han Zhou.

Bandit Chu stared intently at the two fighting together, and said, "It's not that Youbai's martial arts are inferior to Han Zhou's, it's just that he lacks a decent weapon."

Zhao Liangyue didn't know what to think of, looked up at Bandit Chu, and saw that he really looked suspicious.

The two fought back and forth in the bamboo forest, Youbai was slightly inferior, but the two were indistinguishable for a while, and someone in the Zhennan Army reminded: "Han Shuai, the prime minister told me, we must put the big things first!"

Only then did Han Zhou lift the iron whip vigorously, separated the two, and waved his hand to let the Zhennan Army go straight up.

The commander of the Zhennan army on all sides shouted, and rushed forward in a dense manner.

Youbai returned to Zhao Liangyue's side, looked at the knife with several holes missing, and frowned.

Bandit Chu tied his hands and knife tightly in advance, turned his head amidst Yu Zhentian's shouts of killing, rolled his peachy eyes, smiled at Zhao Liangyue, then looked at the others, and ordered: "You must escort Mr. Zhao to leave safely. , or commit suicide and apologize!"

Before Zhao Liangyue could say anything in the future, Bandit Chu had already led people to clear the way to the east.

In fact, the more Zhao Liang wanted to say, Bandit Chu was the one who had more chances and deserved to live.

But it seems that he has always been so lucky. When he was young, he had a mother who was kind and loving, when he was young, he was followed by Youbai, and now he is taken care of by this senior brother Bai Delai. They all put his life and death before their own without exception. Keep yourself safe and sound.

Zhao Liangyue looked at the Zhennan army wearing black armor like ghosts in the bamboo forest, looked at those people standing side by side with him in Ningzhou, and looked at the disparity in strength between the two sides. Buddha.

Gods and Buddhas have eyes, and the common people have a promise, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil.

Gods and Buddhas are merciful, and those who have gone through hardships can get boats and get across.

A gust of wind blew by, thousands of miles of bamboo fell, and blood rose to the sky.

"Report to Shuai Han! The Hezhou army came from the east and said they captured Xue Ran, the treasonous minister at the border, and they want to come over to discuss this matter with you!"

Han Zhou turned his head and said angrily, "Where did Jin Hao come to discuss the crime with me? He clearly wanted to save these people! Find a way to stop him!"

As Han Zhou said, he personally carried the iron whip and headed towards Chu bandit, his eyes were red with murderous intent.

Because Zhao Liangyue was protected to break out, he was far away from Bandit Chu, but when he turned his head, he saw Han Zhou personally leading someone to kill Bandit Chu, and hurriedly shouted to Youbai: "I have Zhuo Shaoxia to protect me, hurry up!" Go help brother!"

Youbai hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Zhao Liangyue's eyes were full of anxiety, and he didn't leave, he immediately raised his knife and rushed towards Chu bandit.

Han Zhou cut off the blade in Chu Bandit's hand with a whip. Seeing that Chu Bandit was exhausted, he swiped his whip and went straight to his chest. Right dodged the fatal blow.

But the second whip couldn't be avoided no matter what, Chu bandit subconsciously raised his eyes to look in the direction Zhao Liangyue left, but saw that Zhao Liangyue didn't leave, and there was no Youbai beside him.

The next moment, Youbai appeared beside him, blocking Han Zhou's second whip.

"It's really sincere." Han Zhou laughed loudly, "But none of you can escape today!"

Chu Bie smiled: "That's not necessarily true." After speaking, he took the knife and Youbai to defend against the enemy together, and leaned towards Zhao Liangyue.

When he got to Zhao Liangyue's side, Bandit Chu lost his temper and said, "Why don't you leave!"

Zhao Liangyue actually didn't know why, but he had already made this decision in the chaos at that time, and then he couldn't take another step forward.

Bandit Chu wanted to say something more, but seeing Zhao Liangyue's smaller face than when he left Beijing, his heart felt sour, and he swallowed the words.

The offensive of the Zhennan Army in the surrounding areas became more and more fierce, and the black pressure was like a giant beast opening its bloody mouth, intending to bite Chu Bandit and his party alive.

It seems that the skylight penetrating into the bamboo forest has become thin and sparse.

Suddenly, there was a familiar sound of war drums.

"It's finally here."

Bandit Chu grinned, the knife in his hand dropped with a bang, and then fell towards Zhao Liangyue.
