Chapter 46

This night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. Under the night sky, you couldn't see your fingers, and the darkness was like an abyss.

Outside the city, on a small road.

Only a few lonely torches flickering light, under the reflection of the light, there are piles of heads, heavy shadows, a dense mass of soldiers, waiting in formation, there are about [-] soldiers here, including [-] private members of the Gu clan Headed by soldiers, other families also sent out a lot of private soldiers here and there, making up five hundred soldiers and horses.

This should be the last elite soldier that Wuyin's gentry can squeeze out.

In the past few battles, the major clans of Wuyin lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and all the soldiers and guards who were capable of fighting were killed by Mu Shan.

Although there is no shortage of people in the gentry, and there are countless young and strong among the long-term workers and tenants in the clan, it is not easy to train an elite team. After all, soldiers who have the ability to fight must first have the courage to kill.

"What time is it?" Gu Qiu is a young man in his late thirties, tall and tall, wearing a battle armor, holding a spear in his hand, riding on a horse, his eyes radiate a light that is quite sharp.

"Xu time has just passed!"

A personal guard looked at the sky and a funnel he was carrying, and handed over his hand to report.

"What's the situation in Jingping Village?" Gu Qiu's eyes were gloomy.

People in the city pretended to be yellow turban rebels and set fire to chaos. If Zhao Ping didn't lead his troops back to suppress them, he would be dereliction of duty. As long as he led his troops back, there would be some useless old and weak women and children left in Jingping Village.

He must level Jingping Village.

Mushan wiped out the whole family of the Zhu family, and slapped the Wuyin gentry in the face. This slap made them scream. Over the years, the Wuyin gentry have shown their power and said nothing in the county. Even the officials of the county government have to pay a visit to them. , and now his prestige has plummeted.

This enmity must be an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Only in this way can the prestige of the gentry be re-established and the county be re-dominated, instead of being pissed on the neck by some cats and dogs.

"It's still very quiet!" A personal guard answered with hands clasped.

"Has anyone in the county government who reported to Zhao Ping gone?"

"I have already gone, but Zhao Ping has not responded yet. He may not be willing to lead his troops back to the city!"

"Humph!"

Gu Qiu snorted coldly: "I don't believe that he is indifferent, and sent people to watch closely, and if there is any movement in his style, he must report it immediately!"

"promise!"

The personal guard nodded, and immediately arranged for a few government soldiers to follow up.

"Brother Ziguan, our family's elite fighters are here, are you sure about this battle?" The person who asked the question was Chen Yu from the Chen family, who was also a man with strong inner strength, leading fifty elite soldiers from the Chen family to join the battle. .

"Brother Zhonghao, is your knife not sharp enough, or your courage has become too timid, Jingping Village is just a few old and weak women and children, we have five hundred elites, killing him a whole family, why not be afraid! "

Gu Qiu said coldly.

"Brother Ziguan, you also know that these days, our family has suffered too much damage. I just don't want this battle to be like in the past. I followed the soldiers of Zhu's family to fight, but hundreds of elite family children were buried under the hammer of Mushan. Never go back!"

"Mu Shan can't protect himself now, he is a hundred miles away, how can he lead his troops back to help, brother Zhong Hao don't worry!"

"Hope it!"

As the voices of the two ended, the darkness became a quiet atmosphere again, and there was a dark oppression in the chest, and the soldiers of the gentry were out of breath.

"Report!"

About half an hour later, a soldier came galloping on horseback and reported with a low drink.

"Say!"

"Report to Lord Gu Qiu that Zhao Ping and Cao's soldiers have begun to return to the city!"

"it is good!"

Gu Qiu's eyes were sharp and bright, his aura exploded, his whole body was like a sword, and he became very vigorous. He raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "Everyone listen to my order and go straight to Jingping Village. I'm waiting, kill Wushe, trample them down for me, and show off the prestige of my gentry!"

"Take them down and show off the prestige of our nobles!"

"Take them down and show off the prestige of our nobles!"

All the officers and soldiers suddenly became agitated, yelling, although the voices were a bit mixed due to the lack of integration of soldiers from various families, but the indomitable momentum was shown.

****************************************
Jingping Village.

A great migration is beginning to be staged.

"hurry up!"

"Sixth Aunt, carry Ninth Granny on your back, we need to get out of here quickly!"

"Hey, I finally settled down, and I have to go again!"

"Girl of the Jin family, don't complain, we can come back after they finish fighting!"

"Don't take too many things, just pack some soft things!"

"Hurry up, the enemy will come over soon, we can't make trouble for you guys!"

"Pack up and go up the mountain first!"

"..."

Some restless voices were rising and falling. Women and children took the hands of the children, supported the old man's body, quickened the pace of their feet, and headed for a mountain road behind the village, which went straight up the hill.

"Uncle Huo, what happened outside?"

In a wing of the Zhonglie Hall, the Holy Maiden of Peace, who had been fleeing for many days and finally had a peaceful sleep, was awakened by this noisy figure.

"Your Highness, something may have happened in Jingping Village!"

Zhang Huo abided by his duties and kept guarding outside the door.

So when Jingping Village began to prepare for the relocation, he suddenly became cautious and gathered all the remaining soldiers of the Taiping God Guard under his command to guard outside the gate to protect the Holy Maiden of Taiping.

The Holy Maiden of Peace put on her clothes and put on a veil to cover her peerless face, then gently opened the door, looked outside, and looked at the figures in the aisle, all carrying burdens, rushing towards Go back to the mountain.

"What's going on?" the Holy Maiden of Peace asked.

"It seems that someone is about to call!"

Zhang Huo reported, "The old, weak, women and children in Jingping Village are relocating, but their young masters seem to have organized a group of youths, who are preparing to resist the incoming enemy. The specific situation is not clear!"

At this time, Zhang Gu, the head of Jingping Village, hurried over from the outside. When he passed by the wing room, he saw the Holy Maiden of Peace and a dozen soldiers of the Taiping God Guard standing at the door. Zhang Gu, under the command of the Marshal, pays homage to Your Highness!"

It's a courtesy.

Although the chaos of this era has gradually emerged, since the Yellow Turban Uprising, soldiers and horses have ruled the roost in various places, and rituals and music have collapsed. At that time, some formal etiquette was still indispensable. This is a matter of respect.

"The Yellow Turban has fallen, Taiping has collapsed, and now I am just an ordinary little girl. Uncle Zhang doesn't need to be too polite. The name of His Highness is just passing away. I see that Jingping Village is moving, so I want to ask, This is how the same thing?"

The Holy Maiden of Peace asked harmoniously: "Is there anything I can do to help?"

She is a phoenix in distress, knowing that she has no capital for arrogance, so she has a very low profile.

"Your Highness is Your Highness, our Grand Master respects His Highness very much, and the little ones dare not break the rules of the Grand Master!"

After exchanging greetings, Zhang Gu didn't say much, after all, the current situation is tense: "I am honored to welcome His Highness here today, and we should have a banquet to celebrate, but the master is fighting on the front line, and some younger generations take advantage of it." The boss is not here, and he is going to attack our Jingping Village, so I still want to ask His Highness to move a little bit, and first go and hide on the hills with some old and weak women and children in the village. After the end, Zhang Gu personally apologized to His Highness, and the younger one will leave first!"

After speaking, he left quickly without waiting for the response from the Holy Maiden of Peace. Now he has no time to reminisce with the Holy Maiden of Peace. He wants to move more than 1000 people in the village up the mountain in less than half an hour. Every minute and every second is precious.

"Your Highness, he is too rude!"

When Zhang Huo saw it, he felt a little bit aggrieved in his heart, at least he had to wait until the saintess answered before he finished speaking.

"If you encounter a powerful enemy, will you still greet and salute with an insignificant person?" The Holy Maiden of Peace shook her head: "He can still greet us now, showing how much he respects us, and let us retreat together. It is very polite to take refuge on the mountain!"

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" A guard officer looked at the mess outside, gritted his teeth, and said, "It doesn't look peaceful here. I don't know who is coming. If there are more than a thousand officers and soldiers, they will surely die. , why don't we leave first!"

"They saved us just now. If it wasn't for them, we would have already done something. Now that people are in trouble, if we just walk away, wouldn't it be a little ungrateful!"

Someone's face turned red and said in a low voice.

"I know it's unfair, but we must take the safety of Her Majesty the Holy Maiden as our own responsibility, and we must not let Her Majesty the Holy Maiden be in danger!"

"It's better to let a few people escort the saint to leave, and we will stay and help defend against the enemy!"

"There are only a few of us now, and if we divide the troops, we can't take care of the two ends!"

"Then what do you say?"

After some noise, they disagreed, so they looked at the Holy Maiden of Peace and Zhang Huo.

"Your Highness, your safety is more important!" Zhang Huo sighed and said in a low voice.

It's not that he doesn't remember kindness, as a martial artist who was born as a ranger, he thinks kindness, but in his heart, nothing is more important than the safety of the Holy Maiden of Peace, whether it is his principles, or his morality, or even His name is not as dangerous as the safety of the saint.

"How are your injuries?"

The Holy Maiden of Peace was silent for a while, her beautiful eyes flickered, she looked at the crowd, and suddenly asked.

"A Tong was hit by a palm, his internal strength was disordered, his meridians were weak, and he should not be angry. Chen Song injured his eyes and must be cultivated. Xiao Jiu lost a lot of blood and was the most seriously injured. He couldn't move around for the time being. Except for the three of them In addition, we are only slightly injured and can still fight on the battlefield!"

Zhou Hong was one of Zhang Huo's lieutenants. Three of Zhang Huo's four lieutenants died, and he was the only one left. He was also a captain of the Divine Guard Army in the past, and his martial arts skills were only inferior to Zhang Huo's. He clasped his hands and replied.

"I can still move!"

The pale young man said in a low voice, his name is Jin Jiu.

"Our injuries are fine!"

Xu Tong and Chen Song also spoke one after another.

"Uncle Tong, Uncle Chen, Uncle Jiu's injuries are too serious to move, and your injuries are not light, the more you move, the more you hurt, so you take Uncle Jiu up to the hill first, and then put him on the hill. Wait for us." The Holy Maiden of Peace said firmly.

"Your Highness..."

The three of them looked at each other with some reluctance.

"Uncle Tong, Uncle Chen, Uncle Nine, I know that you are good to me and want to protect me, but don't try to be brave. Every person I can rely on is one less than every death, especially Uncle Nine, you are too seriously injured. With a knife in the chest and an arrow in the abdomen, it is a miracle that I survived, don't let down the kindness of God, I hope you can all watch me grow up in the future!"

The Holy Maiden of Peace said quietly: "This is an order, if you still regard me as a saint, then don't violate my order!"

She is only 14 years old, but she has experienced too many life and death, and she is even more dependent on the Taiping God's Guards. The God's Guards who were so powerful in the past, now even if Zhang Huo is added, there are only 11 people left. He, she I really don't want to watch someone die.

"As ordered!"

When Jin Jiu heard this, he fell silent immediately. The other two guardsmen looked at each other, sighed silently, then came over, supported his shaky body, and walked outside, joining the old and weak women and children.

"Uncle Huo, since this young master dares to organize and defend against the enemy, he seems to have a bit of confidence, let's go and have a look!"

"promise!"

Uncle Huo nodded, and led the rest of the guards to protect the Holy Maiden of Peace, and headed for a school yard outside.

 The first one is delivered!

  In the past two days, I have to go back and forth to the county for some important things, and I don’t come back until two or three o’clock every night, so I can’t type at night, and I owe some updates. I will start to make up changes today, and make up one change a day until I don’t owe anything. until.
