Death Sutra

The tragedy of the survivors is not only to reflect on their own mistakes, but also to bear the pain of the deceased.

The battle was over, the courage of the Snowy Mountain soldiers slowly subsided, and the best partners disappeared. The familiar face was found in the corpse, which made people feel trembled, which was more painful than the sharpest knife. Deeper, many unyielding men, sitting on the ground, have a blank mind.

Before long, they will start to think: Why did this win? Why is this battle?

The morale of Daxueshan is so low that even if the dragon king himself appears, it cannot make up for this huge loss.

Several patriarchs were seriously injured, and more than a thousand Da Xueshan swordsmen returned to heaven.

There are dozens of wounds on the old knife, and there are almost dozens of wounds on the body. They are almost bloody. They look at the dragon king and can’t speak. He doesn’t humiliate his own reputation, but he doesn’t know if there is any chance to use it again. The long knife on the handle.

The team of swordsman he worked so hard to create, with less than 500 people left, silently surrounded by the leader, seems to hope to deliver his vitality to him in this way.

In the four offensive and defensive battles, the last loss was the most, with more than 4,000 Daxueshan fighters. However, in the past 20 days, there were only 1,600 people, and almost half of them were injured.

Gu Shenwei walked in front of every survivor with grief and anger, and looked at those familiar or strange faces. Gradually, anger was gone.

He is still convinced that there is a traitor in this team, and that is one of the five patriarchs. The traitor uses the natural bravery and pride of the Daxueshan swordsman to encourage them to launch a suicide battle.

The simple savvy swordsman and the old knives who valued the honor could not see the conspiracy in the moment. Gu Shenwei was in the jungle of conspiracy and tricks, only to understand the general situation, he knew that there was fraud.

But now, finding out the traitor is not the most important thing, but it may once again hit the morale that is close to the bottom.

Justice must be achieved in an appropriate manner, otherwise it may be counterproductive.

Gu Shen’s idea of ​​letting go of the traitor immediately, immediately called a meeting of important figures of the whole army.

The five peaks of the Daxue Mountain are equivalent to five tribes. Under this, there are many valleys. The leader is called the “head person.” By convention, everything is decided by the patriarch. The leader is responsible for transmitting information and performing tasks. But this time, Gu Shen decided to break the tradition.

Five patriarchs and tortoises were brought up by people. Seventy heads and twenty-three swordsmen were also brought to the venue. Together with the Dragon King, it was exactly one hundred.

This one hundred will determine the fate of all.

The main account was not big enough. Gu Shen chose an empty **** and ignited the raging fire. All of them first kneeled down and mourned to the deceased. Then, everyone sat on the ground. The dragon king stood on the high ground and gave a speech, once again calling on everyone. Go with him.

This time, he did not use divination and gorgeous words, the rest of the time is not much, he can only come to the door, "I came from the southeast of the sea, it is a beautiful and rich place, easy to defend, difficult to attack, local residents I am afraid that the power of Jinpengbao will expand to the south, so I invite the Snowy Mountain to go side by side and resist the enemy."

No one thought that the Dragon King would make such a request. The patriarch and the head people whispered in a whisper. "Are we not throwing back the big snowy mountains?" The swordsman leaders bowed their heads. In their view, the general trend has gone, it is best to disperse and hide. Waiting for an opportunity to come back.

Gu Shenwei saw the suspicion that permeated the venue, so he continued: "The Western Region has been turned upside down. Jinpeng Fort and the North Court colluded. They are going to the east to discuss the West. They are everywhere. I saw it with my own eyes. A group of cavalry is heading for the Shule country in the west. Only the south of the sea, with the help of the desert, has not become the territory of the one-step king. It is our only chance. Only by occupying the land first, can we Blocking the enemy's constant pursuit and building a safe foothold."

These words are said to the swordsman leader. Gu Shenwei then persuaded the Da Xueshan swordsman. "I am the Dragon King. I promised to break Jinpeng Fort within three years. This promise is still valid today. I beg you, the people of heaven, Don't be frustrated by the loss of this time, please continue to follow me. Since God God appointed me to re-deploy the Snowy Mountains, I will not abandon me when the enemy is the most mad, let the Snowy Mountains Split again."

Gu Shenwei did not say all the truth, but his words really touched many people, first the swordsmen, then the swordsmen, all stood up and agreed with a burst of shouts.

At this time, several old swordsman heads suggested that whether they should immediately sacrifice sacrifices, pray for auspiciousness, the dragon king categorically refused, time is tight, there is no time to engage in this set, "the order is passed, everyone is ready, the wounded are launched. Others walk, bring more grain and clear water, don't want anything else, leave at any time."

The Jinpengbao army outside the valley is still surrounded by iron buckets. The command of the Dragon King is very urgent. Many people are unclear, but they still execute orders quickly.

Gu Shen made a tower and looked out.

The second day has passed, the Jinpengbao military camp is a little bit of fire, there is no sign of retreat.

Gu Shenwei has sent a small number of scouts and went out to inquire about the situation. So far, there has been no response.

Many things were not in his expectation. He asked the Shangguan brothers to go to see Du Gu in the afternoon, but at that time, Du Guzheng was commanding the battle until the evening, he returned to the camp, so that the time left for the two could be Not much more.

Whether the Jinpengbao army can withdraw in the third day, Gu Shen is more and more uncertain. In fact, it does not matter late. Gu Shen is worried that he will force the two cowards to be too tight. They may be making mistakes. Show your feet too early.

A little bit past, the soldiers of Daxueshan have prepared for the equipment, the horses have lost a lot of money, and only the most seriously injured people can get the mounts, but they have not left a person who is still breathing, even if they are unconscious, there are The person is carrying.

This will be a slow-moving team. Gu Shen thinks, but he can't give orders to abandon the injured. This is not Jinpengbao. The swordsman mostly regards the Dragon King as a demigod. He can't accept him to show even a star or a half. Poor.

There is no timing in the camp, and Gu Shen is judged that the three have passed according to the position of the sky and the moon.

The ignition light in the Jinpengbao military camp remained unchanged.

A scout ran back in panting. "Dragon King, the army has withdrawn, and the army has withdrawn."

There is also a possibility that Shangguanhong and Shangguanfei want to regain the favor of the unique king step, set a trap, lure the Daxueshan soldiers out of the camp, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop. As for the antidote to the broken sausage powder, they probably think that the king can do everything. , always find a way.

Gu Shen was the pioneer of the 500 soldiers who crossed the battlefield and entered the Jinpengbao military camp with vigilance.

Tents, fires, and equipment are still there, and there is no one in the entire camp.

Gu Shenwei strictly forbids anyone to look for items and quickly quit. The fresh hoof print on the ground indicates that the Jinpengbao army has retreated to the east.

Shangguanfei and Shangguanhong, the brothers who hated each other, showed good ability in the first cooperation.

Five hundred people went west for a few miles. After confirming that there was no ambush, Gu Shen sent a reprimand and a messenger to the front and rear to detect the enemy's situation and called others to follow.

A total of more than 1,600 people, five hundred people in front, five hundred people behind the temple, in the middle of the wounded and squatting animals, led by the Dragon King, quietly heading west.

After dawn, they were far from the camp, and the bodies of countless comrades remained there, too late to be buried.

As Gu Shen expected, because of the large number of injured people, the horses are not enough, the team travels very slowly, and can only walk dozens of miles a day.

The Jinpengbao army will soon find out that the two sons of Shangguanjia have already invested in the Dragon King, and the North Court cavalry also invaded the Shule through this road. In case of collision, Daxueshan will suffer huge losses.

For the first time, Gu Shen gave a silent prayer to the heavenly god.

This time, luck stood on the side of the snowy mountain. On the third day, the team finally came safely to a burnt post near Shule, where they would change direction and head southeast to cross the border between Gobi and the desert. If everything goes well, you can reach Xiaoyaohai after twenty or thirty days.

Gu Shen ordered the team to rest in the hilly area for a day, care for the injured, grazing livestock, the next road will be very difficult to walk, they must be fully prepared.

In the evening of the same day, Shangguanfei and Shangguanhong arrived at the agreed time, and also brought a prisoner: Jinpengbao’s commander was alone, until he saw the Dragon King, and he did not understand how he would be counted by the son of the One Step King.

The two brothers were extremely excited about this successful adventure. In addition to vying for the first time, they even praised each other for a long time.

"The nine majors starred too much. The killers didn't see the flaws at all. One of the killers also said that he had long seen that he was not right. He expected the king to win his seal, haha."

"Hong Gongzi helped a lot. He lied to the generals and said that the North Court cavalry had already ambushed in the west, just waiting for the snow to escape, so it would be annihilated."

Gu Shenwei took out two red pills. This was when he was seriously injured. The lotus girl gave him. It is said to be non-toxic. The healing has a miraculous effect. He is suspicious and does not intend to use it on the Daxueshan warrior. Antidote to powder.

"You can go back to Yucheng yourself." Gu Shen said.

The two brothers looked at each other and said in unison. "No, we have to be with the Dragon King."

Things are clear, even if the former King did not have a proper reason to openly kill the child, then there is no need to cover up the anger, and the two assisted the Daxueshan army to escape the encirclement, enough to make them appear in the Yuyu City, they were publicly murdered.

The king of the Western Regions, the Dragon King is the only protector of the two.

After the night, the good luck of the Dragon King and the Daxueshan was exhausted, and the scouts returned. The Jinpengbao army has found that it has been deceived, followed by a quick whip, copying the near road and blocking the path to the Xiaoyao Sea.

"Not afraid." The people flying in a rare way showed that they were not afraid of danger. "We are human."

Gu Shenwei looked at the loneliness in the corner and wondered if the weight of the hostage would be able to hold the ruthless Jinpengbao army.

(The Spring Festival is approaching, there is no guarantee that every day will be more, and tomorrow will start every day until the seventh day of the seventh day, and will be updated around 6 pm.)
