That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1237
Old Town of Peng.

At this time, Peng Lao Town has been completely reduced to ruins, but it has also fallen into the hands of the Qi army.

A group of soldiers in bright armor carried an improvised stretcher and rushed into Peng Lao Town all the way. A captain at the head even held a waist knife that had been unsheathed, and unceremoniously pushed it out of the way man of.

This group of soldiers had obviously just come off the battlefield, whether it was the blood on the armor and blades, or the undisguised murderous look on their faces and bodies, it was enough to explain it.And judging by the armor on his body, he is not an ordinary soldier, he should be a soldier of the governor level, so the identity of the person on the stretcher can be imagined.

Because of this, no one dared to stop them, and these red-eyed soldiers would not be able to reason with you. The murderous aura, in the words of an illiterate captain, was a murderous aura. If you really want to provoke them, no matter whether you are friendly or not, I am afraid that you will just raise your hand and kill them.

Xiao Quji, who was lying on the stretcher at this moment, was truly bruised, as if soaked in blood, if he hadn't been wearing the Governor's Profound Armor, he might have died under that shot.

Although the Daqi court did not have a system of consecutive sittings on the grasslands, and all the masters and guards would be killed, and even the young and old in the family would be implicated, but in the Daqi army, there were similar unwritten rules, and they had been affiliated with them for generations. Under the name of the Liangwu County Prince's Mansion, if Xiao Quji, the master, died, then there would be no reason for them to continue living because of emotion and reason.

The head of the bodyguard school lieutenant is named Liu Dashan. Although the name is a bit rough, he is not rough, he is thoughtful and cautious, otherwise he would not be able to become Xiao Quji's personal bodyguard.His grandfather was the personal guard of the old prince Xiao Gongyu, and in his generation, he also served as the personal guard of the young prince Xiao Quji. It can be said that it has been passed down from generation to generation. The prince is the sky, the lives of the whole family belong to the prince, and the prince's life is even greater than the sky. If the prince has any problems, he doesn't need to use any military law to do it, and he wipes his own neck.

After the prince hacked the Wei general to death, Liu Dashan led his brothers and rushed towards the prince, thinking that even if he used his life to block him, he could protect the prince, but who would have thought that the cannon shot would be It came from the sky, directly shot past them, and just blasted on the prince.Although the general of the Wei State is also dead, can he be compared with the life of the prince?They didn't care about whether there was a war or not. When they heard that Peng Laozhen had been beaten down, they carried the prince all the way here.

At this time, Xiao Mahe, the king of Lingwu County, was sitting in Peng Lao Town. After hearing the news, he was greatly shocked. He summoned all the doctors in the army to treat him, and at the same time sent a message to Jiangdu and Wei Wuji, not daring to neglect him in the slightest.

Although the past dynasties have mostly been defensive towards the clan and vassals, but it is not the same in Daqi.Because the number of Daqi's clan is too small compared with the previous dynasties, except for Xiao Bai who has already ascended the throne and Mutang who is a king with a different surname, there are only Wei Wang Xiaojin and Zhao Wang Xiaojin. Qi, King of Yan Xiaoli, King of Lingwu County Xiao Mahe, King of Liangwu County Xiao Quji five people, now King Wei died in rebellion, King Zhao was assassinated by Duanmu Ruisheng, King Yan was deposed by the eldest princess and demoted to concubine People, there are only two county kings left, if Xiao Quji has another mishap, there will really be few people in the Great Qi clan.

Because there is no complete house in Peng Lao Town, Xiao Quji can only be placed in a separate tent temporarily. Among the flesh and blood, there was no intact place on Xiao Qujizhou's body, and after being wrapped in thick bandages, few places were still exposed.

Xiao Quji was still unconscious at this time, after Xiao Mahe listened to the detailed report of an old man who had been with the army for many years, he waved his hand to signal everyone to go out, and he sat alone by the bed, silently looking at this young junior.

In terms of seniority, Xiao Quji's grandfather, Xiao Gongyu, and Xiao Mahe's father, Xiao Shu, were of the same generation. great effort.Later, Xiao Mahe and Xiao Quji's father also had a close friendship, and the past was like smoke. When the two were young, they were also the tyrants in the imperial capital. Relying on the power of the two old princes at the time, they dared The characters walking sideways in the imperial capital have done some youthful and frivolous things. They can be said to be full of arrogance.The scene at that time is vivid in my mind.Compared with the juniors like Duanmuyu, he is much more chic.

From this point of view, Xiao Mahe is a veritable uncle of Xiao Quji, and every time Xiao Quji meets, he calls him Uncle Wang.

After so many years, the two old princes have entered the earth, the old brothers have passed away, and their own son Xiao Shilue has grown up. Both of them are only seedlings, and they must not let the only son of the old brothers fall in front of their eyes. reason.

Xiao Mohe couldn't help but muttered to himself: "Boy, I'm your Uncle Wang. I'm talking to you. I know that you have a passion for pride since you were a child, and you have the ambition to level the world with a three-foot sword, so This little injury is nothing. Our Xiao family, from the ancestor Jing Emperor to the Wu Zu Chun Emperor to the Taizu Emperor Gao, which one did not come out of the battlefield? Listen, you have to hold on, you can’t stand it Be strong, even if the ghost emperors of the five directions and Yan Luo of the ten palaces are here, you must hold on to your tone, as long as you have this tone, no one will be able to take you away, and no one need be afraid!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Mahe's eye circles were a little red, and he said softly: "Boy, when I drank your full moon wine, I hugged you. Your kid peed all over me. At that time, I felt that this kid grew up You must be promising. At this moment, you just suffered a small injury. How can you be afraid of such a small injury when you are an eight-foot man? Injured and stumbled? Even if we stumbled, we can still get up again. My ears are getting calloused, I can tell you, Peng Lao Town has been knocked down, Zhuolu City has also been knocked down, Jiangnan is certain, only the Northwest will be left, if you don’t get up from the hospital bed quickly, the next You don’t have a share in the battle, what else do you use to make achievements? What else do you use to earn face for your father?”

As he talked, the eyes of this old man who had never shed tears a few times in his life were actually a little wet.

Perhaps the old man was afraid of being seen, so he wiped the corners of his eyes, "The south of the Yangtze River is fine, but it's not the northwest. Where does the sand come from?"

……

Three days later, the Battle of Peng Lao Town officially came to an end. The army of Wei State, whose morale was in disarray and had no morale, was defeated. The army continued to clean up the remaining rebels and bandits everywhere.

Xiao Mahe personally escorted Xiao Quji to Jiangdu for treatment, and at the same time, he also wanted to preside over the major event of restoring the North-South Water Transport.
