It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 166

"Military merit, military merit is not as important as my head." Fang Boshan said: "Brother Cheng, we have a good relationship, so you said you didn't see me, well, even if I thank you."

Cheng Dalei paused for a while: "Master Fang, Qingniu Mountain can't be defended, and Fallen Leaves City will be destroyed. Once the city slopes, life will be ruined, even if you, the city lord's head, can't be preserved. Now my Toad Village has land and grain, and you have people in Fallen Leaves City. Why can't you join forces with me to fight?"

"Joining forces to fight, that's the Rong family!" Fang Boshan grinned: "Brother Cheng, I'm going to run for my life, I have something to do with Qingzhou, and I'll be safe when I get there. If you want to die, don't pull me. In this way, my city lord Yin is also here, I gave it to you, the soldiers and horses in the city are all mobilized with you, so you can tell the King of Youzhou that you didn’t see me, okay?”

Fang Boshan pushed the city lord Yin Qiang into Cheng Dalei's hands.

Holding the handsome seal in his palm, Cheng Dalei was silent for a long time.

He suddenly noticed that there were countless soldiers in the city lord's mansion, and suddenly said: "Is there anyone willing to join forces with me to fight against the savage enemies and guard the rivers and mountains?"

No one responded, Cheng Dalei held the city seal alone, looking lonely and embarrassed.

"Master, let's go." Xu Shenji tugged at the corner of Cheng Dalei's clothes, feeling a little sad.

Toad Village, Cheng Dalei's house.

When it got dark, Cheng Dalei did not light the lamp. He sat alone at the table with three large seals on it.

The seal of the king of Youzhou, the seal of the city master of Fangbo Mountain, and the seal of his own general.

Wang Yin is squatting with a unicorn, the city lord is a yellow tiger, and the general is a toad. At this moment, the three family seals are all in front of Cheng Dalei, and they all belong to Cheng Dalei alone.

He sat in the dark, motionless for a long time.

There was a problem that Cheng Dalei couldn't understand no matter how he thought about it: Toad Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as Yang Longting or Fang Boshan gave him some soldiers, it was not impossible to defend. Although the Rong tribe is strong, they are not three-headed and six-armed. No matter how horizontal the cavalry is, when they reach the mountains, their ability will be reduced by at least half.

Why can't you just keep trying? Why did he flee from the wind when he heard the name of the Rong family, and he didn't even have the courage to hold a knife?

Including toad village, except for Lin Shaoyu, no one supports him. But Lin Shaoyu is a man who wants to be a hero, death is nothing to him, and he actually has no chance of winning.

But Cheng Dalei felt that he could win.

So lonely!

Cheng Dalei recalled the conversation he had with Li Xingzai. At that time, the two sides discussed why the Rong tribe was victorious in every battle. Cheng Dalei, as a senior keyboard warrior, stunned Li Xingzai for a while.

Today, Cheng Dalei remembered the conversation between the two, and he probably understood why they had to flee.

In the past thirty years, the reputation of the Rong people has been overwhelming. As long as the empire meets the Rong, no matter what advantage it has, the result will be a failure. Slowly, failure became a habit, and running away became a habit. Everyone felt that the Rong tribe was invincible.

And the reason why they want to flee is because they have a way out. It is not difficult for Fang Boshan and Yang Long to stop running to a place far away from the Rong clan. So if they can live, why should they go all out, and they all run away, why should the soldiers go to die?

In this way, let's all run, run and be defeated like a mountain. After running for decades, the empire cannot stand upright in front of the Rong.

Su Ying walked into the house at this time and silently glanced at Cheng Dalei.

"Where are the people outside waiting for you?"

"Well, let them wait a little longer."

Su Ying walked to Cheng Dalei, put her hand on her shoulder, and said slowly: "I know it's not easy for you to set up this family business, but if you keep the green mountains, you are not afraid of running out of firewood. Jizhou and Qingzhou have Su's family. For business, let’s go there to hide for a while, the Rong family will not last long, after this incident, everything can come back.”

Cheng Dalei got up, took Su Ying's hand away, and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'm ready."

At night, Toad Village was brightly lit. Brothers from Shanzhai gathered at the school grounds and lit torches to disperse the darkness.

Seeing Cheng Dalei coming out, everyone's eyes followed Cheng Dalei until he got to the point of command.

"Brothers..." The school ground was silent, only Cheng Dalei's voice reverberated: "Your wives, children and children are all here, and this cottage was built by everyone, so I just ask everyone, would you like to give up our cottage? , to be the mourning dog. Today, we have a convenient location, and there are countless weapons and food in the cottage. Are there any brothers who are willing to fight with me and defend our cottage?"

No one responded, the torches illuminated a pair of eyes, and everyone's eyes looked at Cheng Dalei again.

"Those who are willing to go, I won't stay, those who are willing to fight, take a step forward."

After Cheng Dalei's voice came out, no one answered, only Lin Shaoyu took a neat step forward.

"Is there anyone else?" Cheng Dalei asked.

After being silent for a while, Xu Shenji gritted his teeth and stood up: "It's okay, it's okay, I have lived long enough with old bones, and today I will accompany the big boss to die."

Qin Man also stood up and said with a wry smile, "It's just death."

Guan and Zhang looked at Liu Bei, he made a bitter face, took a step forward, but did not speak.

Guan Zhang immediately took a step forward, and Zhao Zilong also stood up.

The little white wolf also took a step forward.

"Okay, I'll die with you too." Gao Feibao stood up suddenly, ignoring his elder brother's restraining eyes.

Su Ying looked around and took a step forward.

These people are willing to come out, not because they think they can hold on, but because seeing Cheng Dalei standing there alone, it is a little sad.

Cheng Dalei looked at these people with mixed feelings. With these few people, he couldn't keep the Toad Village. He suddenly smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, I don't have the right to ask my brother to die with me. Since that's the case, let's discuss how to... run away."

...

Black Rock City, the City Lord's Mansion.

Green Cherry looked at Fordler, who was holding a knife in front of him, and was so frightened that her face turned pale.

"Don't kill me, you can let me do anything, please don't kill me."

Fordler looked at the knife in his hand, and then at the green cherry kneeling in front of him, suddenly gritted his teeth and threw the knife on the ground.

"I'll let you go."

"You're willing to let me..." Green Cherry couldn't believe it.

Fordler nodded: "Go, go through the back door, go south, that's your country, no one can hurt you when you go there, it's not safe here."

"Go..." Green Cherry shook her head: "There are all your people here, I am a weak woman, and I can escape there."

"Then what?" Fordler scratched his head.

Green Cherry was also flustered. She looked at Fordler in front of her and felt that he was just a teenager.

"You will protect me, right?" Green Cherry said suddenly.

Fordler suddenly became nervous and a little flustered: "I try my best... I try my best not to let anyone hurt you."
