Rebel

Gu Ao had a secret meeting with Liao Quji that night, the two had a lot of detailed discussions, and they finally made up their minds.At the end of the night, the dawn has come, the twilight of dawn, Gu Ao returned to the barracks, and what awaits him and his men is the life-threatening fight on the second day. the soul of...

On the other side of the battlefield, Yong Chi was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army with a peaceful face.Several bright candles illuminated him, outlining his glamorous outline, drooping phoenix eyes, and high slender eyebrows... In his expression, the honor and favor of that extremely human minister brought him a sense of self-satisfied arrogance.

A chessboard was placed in front of Yong Chi, and Qiu Mu, who was sitting on the opposite side, was shaking his head.

Qiu Mu Beiren's body was originally tall, but now he huddled into a ball without energy, which seemed a bit ridiculous. Qiu Mu's eyes were dull, and he held chess pieces in his hand, which he did not drop for a long time, as if he was thinking about something on his mind.

Yong Chi glanced at the person in front of him, knocked on the desk casually, and said, "Brother Mu, it's your turn."

Qiu Mu hesitated to speak and glanced at Yongchi...Yongchi just called him 'Mudi', such a title, such a quiet time alone with Yongchi, in the past, he must have been flattered and cherished very much.But now the Northland has been broken, and the world is full of... It will never go back to the past.

Why are you still playing chess?Qiu Mu didn't understand. He looked at his holding hand in a daze. It could draw a good picture, write a good handwriting, and play incomparably exquisite music, but it was so powerless that even his relatives couldn't help it. Unable to guard.

...Father was pierced by arrows from the Rong people, and his wife and concubine were raped after the Rong people broke the city... How friendly he was to the Rong people in the past... But those wolf-minded people, how could they repay their kindness like this?

And he, Qiu Mu, bears the infamy of "abandoning his ancestral land and leaving his father without saving him". Now, how could he still have the intention to play chess?Why didn't Yongchi understand?

Earlier, there were rumors from members of Wang Da Sima's clan that Yuyang County and Shang County were ceded because Yong Chi suggested to the emperor's secret envoy Lu Mouzhong, which led to the collapse of the two counties in the north.

Although Qiu Mu is called 'crazy', he is not stupid in his heart.

This statement is not only reasonable, but also think of Yong Chi, who tried so hard to plan to support Empress Dowager Yong's son as emperor, Qiu Mu knows that such rumors are not groundless...

He knows Yongchi too well.He knew how ruthless he was, and how unscrupulous he was.

At first, Qiu Mu persuaded himself not to believe it, but when the soldiers from Shangjun fought alone for a long time and couldn't wait for the imperial court's reinforcements, the darkness in Qiu Mu's heart widened day by day.

Later, Qiu Mu mentioned to Yong Chi more than once that he didn't want to be the prefect of Hanzhong, but only wanted to go to Beidi to avenge his father.But Yong Chi always laughed it off.

Qiu Mu looked at the person in front of him who used to haunt him, how much he cared about him... He was willing to send all the soldiers of the county to the south to help for his words, but it was precisely because of his own willfulness that the people in Yuyang County... The emptiness is what makes the Rong people break it with one blow... The so-called 'treating each other with heart' at the beginning, looking at it today, it is even more sad and ridiculous.

But he really didn't want to hurt him...

Gu Ao's proposal was not a last resort, Qiu Mu felt that he could not do anything...

He should give Yongchi one last chance, and give himself one last chance.

Qiu Mu raised his face and looked at Yong Chi.

Yong Chi raised his eyebrows, "Brother Mu, what's wrong?"

Qiu Mu said: "I also told you last time that those soldiers in the northern army have been admonishing me for a long time, saying that they want to go north to fight against the army."

"Didn't you be asked to kill a few as punishment last time? Someone said that again?" Yong Chi raised his hand and threw the chess pieces, pushing away the chessboard, with a trace of questioning in his words.

"They have followed their ancestors for many years, how can I bear it..." Qiu Mu couldn't help but lower his voice.

Seeing that Qiu Mu spoke vaguely and submissively, Yong Chi couldn't help but sneered: "What did I tell you before? You don't remember?"

Qiu Mu lowered his head.

The first time Qiu Mu suggested to Yong Chi that he hoped to go north to fight against the army, Yong Chi once said: "Now that the aristocratic family is in decline, and the king of Jiangqu is looking at Beijing, how do you let me resist the army? The soldiers of the world's aristocratic families are all private soldiers. , who is willing to contribute? If you want to resist the army, the tiger and the ben will move. But if the two armies of the tiger and the army go out of the north and lose, not to mention the king of Jiangqu, it will be Jibei, Ruyin, Guangping, and Juluna. The prefects of several counties will attack me in groups, and when the time comes, the whole world will fall...Whoever wins the world will put the family to death, can I take this responsibility? Or can you take this responsibility?"

At that time, Qiu Mu just asked Yong Chi with some despair: "Then what do you think should be done?"

"World affairs are like a turbulent torrent. Either people die, or I die. After I use the name of conquest of Hanzhong, with the power of the family, I will cut down the feudal clan in the future, and the world's soldiers will be concentrated in my hands, and then I will talk about resisting the army. "

"Then what year and month will we have to wait?" Qiu Mu asked.

"Things are difficult," Yong Chi sighed, "Now that we are defeated by the Rong people, our family is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, so we can only bear the humiliation and bear the burden in order to advance backward. I pledge myself to the country, and everything I do is for the sake of the family. This is the heart of the country, and will be forgiven by future generations."

These are all previous words, and now Qiu Mu is asked by Yong Chi: "What did I tell you before, don't you remember?"

Qiu Mu plucked up his courage and said: "...I heard...the King Rong died in Beishan a few days ago, and the new King Rong has not yet ascended the throne...This is a golden opportunity, why not..."

Yong Chi interrupted: "Uneasy inside, let alone fighting against outsiders? Now you have also seen Jiangqu, Jibei, Ruyin, Guangping, Julu, who is not harboring evil intentions? Let me go north today as a teacher, it is tantamount to letting the world go. Chaos!"

Qiu Mu was silent again, and Yong Chi said: "If there are any lies in the Northern Army to confuse the public, if you don't punish them, I will punish them!"

After hearing this, Qiu Mu raised his head to look at Yong Chi, and said in a daze, "I can't do it...you help me, you help me do this."

"You..." Yong Chi glanced at Qiu Mu with some resentment, "Now... the Northern Army is stationed in the abandoned hill?"

"Yes...you are going back to camp with me?"

Yong Chi nodded: "I'll go and gather some soldiers and armored guards to go with me first."

Qiu Mu said: "... Mo... Mo adjusted too much. I don't like them in the first place. If you rush all the way, I'm afraid they will find out."

"You take care of yourself."

After saying that, Yong Chi picked up the tent and left to transfer troops and horses to the cavalry camp. Qiu Mu looked at Yong Chi's back and sighed alone.

After a while, a soldier from the Fenwu Army came to report, saying: "Young Master Qiu, the Regent ordered you to leave as soon as possible. He is waiting for you at Yingkou."

Qiu Mu nodded: "Understood."

When he arrived outside the gate of Daying, he saw that the yellow dust was far away, and only the carriage prepared for him stood alone.Qiu Mu knew that Yong Chi couldn't wait for him, so he took a step ahead so that he could catch up.Lowering his eyes, Qiu Mu stepped on the ladder, pulled the curtain and got into the carriage.

In the dark space inside the carriage, a ray of light leaked in, Qiu Mu rubbed his hands, and sighed: "...It's so cold."

Hearing this, the servant following the carriage hurriedly put down another thick curtain, and helped Qiu Mu close the door of the carriage.This carriage came from the north, the workmanship is first-class, and it is the heaviest. Originally, since Qiu Mu went south, he only let the curtains hang down to let in some southerly wind, which is also an elegant thing, but today's Qiu Mu doesn't know why, but makes him People closed the carriage tightly.

... The car was completely isolated from the sound of the outside world. Sitting in the car, another fat young man dressed in brocade clothes put away his folding fan, and then asked with concern: "...Young Master Chou, what's the matter?"

Qiu Mu looked at the person in front of him, sighed, and shook his head desolately.

Tian Rong's face was full of consideration: "...the Prince Regent...is he still unwilling?"

Qiu Mu sighed heavily again, and replied, "Yes."

Tian Rong also sighed with empathy, and said softly: "The king of Han has always advocated going north to resist the army...he even prepared the armor and food, but it's a pity...it's a pity that the coalition forces came, otherwise the king of Han would have gone north to Tianshui , went to fight against the army..."

Qiu Mu's five fingers slowly bent and gradually clenched into a fist, but he didn't say a word.

Tian Rong said softly: "Don't you see, Mr. Huai from Shangjun also went to Hanzhong. Alas, why is Mr. Huai from the same aristocratic family, and instead of borrowing soldiers from his family, he came to look for the King of Han?...Because the King of Han always wanted to fight against the army. "

Qiu Mu raised his eyes: "I see."

Yong Chi led Qianqi Feichen in front, followed by Qiu Mu's carriage, and the horseshoes galloped as fast as thunder, all the way to the abandoned hill.I saw passing through a high mountain and dense forest, Yongchi reined in the head of the black bridle, raised his whip and asked, "Where is this?"

Immediately someone followed the cavalry and replied: "This is the north of the camp and the south of the abandoned hill."

Yong Chi suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and laughed contemptuously: "...that poor boy who pretended to be the King of Han, was in vain to be Shan Yunzi's high-ranking apprentice. From this point of view, he is really ignorant and ignorant!"

The man asked, "Why?"

Yong Chi pointed at the cluster of mountains with his whip and said, "If he sends a light cavalry out of Chen Cang secretly, wouldn't he be able to attack the abandoned hill where Qiu Mu's Northern Army is stationed? As long as the abandoned hill is attacked, I will send people to rescue them from here. Ambush here, and you can wait for work. It's a pity that we haven't received the battle report of the attack on Banfeng Abandoned Hill! Isn't this the lack of strategy and wisdom of the leaders?"

As soon as Yong Chi finished speaking, there was a loud drum beating!

Yong Chi was caught off guard and was startled.

Just listen to the sound of the ground, but suddenly see the storm!

——Between the trees in the high mountains beside the road, flags suddenly appeared everywhere, with the word "Ancient" written on them!

All of a sudden, horses neighed one after another, and war drums rumbled and thundered... Looking across the mountains and plains, the grass and trees were like soldiers, and the clouds on the top moved one after another, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky!

The tiger and cardinal riders commanded by Yong Chi all lost their steps for a moment, and everyone heard the sound, and suddenly there were shouts of killing from the mountains: "Waiting for a long time!"

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of archers appeared in the mountain, and the arrows came down like a torrential storm, and the Hanzhong soldiers on the mountain showed their horns one by one, and swooped down with a rapid speed!

Yong Chi shouted eagerly: "Let's go!" He led 1000 people to rush out of the ambush circle!Yong Chi, a tiger, a strong man, and a strong man, soon slashed a bloody path in the rain of arrows...

Qiu Mu looked at the scene outside the window, and shivered for a moment. He grabbed Tian Rong's sleeve with all his strength, and asked Tian Rong in a trembling voice, "I made an appointment with the King of Han, so I won't hurt him... "

Tian Rong patted Qiu Mu's shoulder reassuringly, nodded and said, "The King of Han promised that he would never hurt the King Regent in the slightest. This suspicious soldier is not in the slightest of Huben's words."

Sure enough, Yong Chi led the people and finally rushed out of the difficult part of the mountain road and came to the plain. The advantage of the cavalry appeared, and they quickly got rid of the Han army who was chasing after them.

Yong Chi was still in shock, gritted his teeth and immediately sent people back to the central army to report to the Han army in an ambush; he led his troops and continued to rush to the abandoned hills—his troops needed to rest and recuperate.It seems that after today's disturbance, it is not easy for him to deal with the people who lie and deceive the people of the Northern Army... We can only talk about it in the future.

But at this time, the tiger and ben cavalry behind Yong Chi, those who were scattered, those who were left behind, there were only a hundred left!

He hurriedly entered the camp of the Northern Army in the abandoned hill, looked back at Qiu Mu, and saw him sticking out his head from the window sill of the heavy carriage with a few broken arrows stuck in it, looking at him with some worry...

Yong Chi suddenly realized something was wrong...

Qiu Mu seemed to know that there would be an ambush there,

been hiding in the car...

Is it...

A premonition like a flash of flint...

Yong Chi reacted in a dazed way,

But it's too late,

Torches were lit up in the barracks!Among the banners with the word "Qiu" that were originally somewhat ridiculed, the characters "Ancient" suddenly stood up one by one.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Northern Army also seemed to emerge from the flat ground, surrounding more than a hundred horses and tigers under Yongchi's troops!Yong Chi's expression turned cold, he glanced at the disheveled northern army holding a halberd, and then at the black-haired thousand-mile horse he was sitting on...

He calmed down, gritted his teeth, and suddenly pulled the bridle hard, only to hear the crow's hooves raised, hissing and neighing, the steed was extraordinary...for a moment, the crow jumped up like a flood Feng jumped out of the encirclement in a few steps, stomping and whimpering under the horse's hooves, rushed towards the entrance of the big camp!

Those tiger and cardinal cavalry all wanted to follow Yong Chi's momentum, but suddenly there was a yell from the Northern Army!I saw Dian Bushi swinging the huge axe, stomping wildly with a rattling sound, hissing and screaming, and the horse's feet snapped under the white blades!The slashing along the way was like a rain of blood, and the tiger and cardinal cavalry behind Yong Chi were knocked over for a while, and some fell off their horses.They only saw a leopard-headed and tiger-eyed general of the Han army, smiling like a Shura ghost and showing his thick white teeth, standing in the crowd like no one else!

There was a sea of ​​blood behind him, and only Yong Chi escaped!

But just when Yongchi was driving Wuzhi towards the entrance of the village, two huge shields suddenly blocked his way, and he saw the word "Huai" engraved on it.

Yong Chi stepped on his horse and slashed down with his sword, but the giant shield was not split in half as expected, but shook slightly.

Suddenly, a gap opened between the two shields, and a long horse fork stretched out, tripping the horse's feet. Yong Chi's eyes were quick, and he quickly reined in to make Wu Hao jump over the road. Danger!

But at the same time, a long halberd and a long spear suddenly protruded from behind the shield in an instant, and Yong Chi was caught off guard, so he stretched out his sword to block it.

As expected, Wuzhui was worthy of a thousand-mile steed, as if he knew his master was in danger, he jumped over the horse fork, but what was waiting for him was three stumbling ropes!Wu Zai skipped the first track, got thrown off by the second track, and finally lost his foot on the third track!

Yong Chi was unsteady for a moment and almost fell to the ground. At this time, a soldier in armor holding fire stepped forward quickly, and rushed behind Wu Xiao's horse. tear off.

When he fell to the ground, Yong Chi felt a dull and heavy feeling.

Dust hit his face, and in the scattered dust, Yong Chi suddenly felt dizzy.

Dust dazzled his eyes, his royal clothes were stained with dirt, his snow-white face was covered with mud, there was a stain on the side of his hanging phoenix eyes, and his bright red lips were torn. , bleeding out, but it looks even more decadent.

The dust cleared, and in front of him, a pair of black brocade boots stepped on the ground. The black satin was embroidered with intricate silver patterns. His eyes followed, and he saw gold threads around his waist. On the hem of the royal robe, there were nine patterns Wrapped around the dragon, showing off the skirt of the clothes, seven silver dragons spread their arrogant giant claws, entangled the red sun, their bodies soared, and their sharp teeth were exposed, as if they wanted to bind the whole world...

Gu Ao bent down, looked at Yong Chi who was lying on the ground for a moment, and said with a smile, "Prince Regent, are you here all right?"
