"Big boss..."
A general of the red-browed army slowly sat down against the stone wall. When he sat down, the wound on his body was involved, and he grinned in pain. He was hit by an arrow in the thigh, and the feathered arrow had not been pulled out. There are barbs on the head of this feather arrow, if you forcefully pull it out, the wound will be torn and bloody, and the bleeding will not be stopped. This quadrangular wound is inherently more difficult to deal with than a knife wound.
The wrapped cloth had long been soaked in blood, and his face was frighteningly pale, and he didn't know whether it was because he lost too much blood or because he couldn't see hope.
"If nothing else, the enemy is about to attack."
His name is Qiu Qi, and he used to be a lone thief. In the six or seven counties in the south of Eastern Xinjiang, his name is very famous. The local government began to buy his head at a price of one thousand taels of gold, but no one could catch him. This person specializes in stealing from rich and noble families, and he has committed countless crimes by relying on his lightness skills to come and go like flying.
After sitting down, Qiu Qi glanced at his wound, and shook his head: "Our rescuers who broke out from the siege have already gone out, no matter whose subordinates are besieging us, they will not wait any longer. The reinforcements closest to us It's the soldiers of the Mu Mansion from Changping City... Hehe, but the Mu Mansion soldiers may have come long ago. The only thing we can count on is the Black Banner Army. It's not certain whether Nalan Dingdong will come. The banner army has cavalry, and the journey of three hundred miles will take at least two days and two nights."
He glanced at the young chief: "Have we persisted for two days and two nights?"
The young chief's face was paler than Qiu Qi's, although he was not injured.
He is the strongest person in the Red Eyebrow Army, he is the person who knows how to lead troops in the Red Eyebrow Army, and he is the most experienced person in fighting foreigners in the Red Eyebrow Army, so he deserves to be the leader. His subordinates are also convinced that he loves him, are willing to sacrifice for him, and are willing to advance and retreat with him.
However, the current him seems to have lost the courage to continue fighting earlier than others. He is like a skin bag that has been emptied of gas, so sluggish. For some reason, the fighting spirit and ambition that once supported him disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Qiu Qi seemed to understand something, so he didn't continue talking.
He lowered his head and held the arrow shaft to try to pull it out, but the pain prevented him from succeeding several times.
The chief turned around, pulled out the short knife from his waist, cut open Qiu Qi's trousers, then cut the knife into the flesh and made a long cut, then used the knife to dig out the arrowhead buried in the flesh, bleeding One by one, it gushes out, as if opening the stone covering the spring water.
The big leader threw the feather arrow aside casually, and then pushed the separated flesh on Qiu Qi's legs together, a faint light flickered on his hand, it was the power of his cultivation that broke through the wound that penetrated Qiu Qi. Blood vessel. Qiu Qi's expression changed, and he grabbed the chief's hand: "Keep more energy, you can kill the chief."
"One more life is one."
The chief's voice was hoarse, as if his vocal cords had been torn.
It took him a long time before he stopped, and then wrapped up the wound for Qiu Qi: "After a while, the enemy starts to attack, you break out, you climb to the top of the mountain, with your cultivation level, two hands are enough, find someone Hide in a secret place, I have observed, there is a hole about three feet above the head, which can accommodate a person, you can hide in and the enemy will not find it."
"Boss, what about you!"
Qiu Qi asked.
"I?"
The big leader shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I have to find a way to get more people out, and then I want to ask why."
"Ask who?"
Qiu Qi asked.
The big leader glanced at him, but didn't answer.
The mountain wind swept through the canyon, blowing one of his empty sleeves.
"I had no choice but to send someone to ask for help from the Black Banner Army. I have a problem with the Black Banner Army. After a while, I will lead my brothers to break through to the Phoenix Terrace. I can kill as many as I can. After you hide, Just go to the Phoenix Terrace to take over the team, I don't want to give the team to the Black Banner Army for nothing."
He stood up, looking extraordinarily tall.
"There are so many enemies, how can you break through the encirclement, chief! It's better to stick to it. If the enemy wants to kill us, we have to attack hard inside. The canyon is narrow and we are restricted by the terrain, so we suffer a lot. But once the enemy attacks, the terrain of the canyon will be difficult for them. It's also a restraint, the best way is to stick to it and wait for reinforcements!"
"I have a better way."
The chief lowered his head and looked at Qiu Qi: "Remember, after I rush out in a while, you will find a place to hide. If the enemy's block in front is not released, you will continue to hide. I will let Chu Yuan lead the brothers to break through. You If you survive, you can gather the heroes of the rivers and lakes and continue to fight with foreigners. There must be no one left in the Red Eyebrow Army. If the obstacles ahead get out of the way, you have to wait until you are safe before leaving."
He untied the token from his waist and threw it beside Qiu Qi: "This is the talisman of the Red Eyebrow Army, and it will be yours from now on. Chu Yuan is more than brave but not resourceful. He still can't see who is surrounding us." , is not a suitable person to command the Red Eyebrow Army."
After saying this, he turned and walked forward.
"Big boss!"
Qiu Qi shouted from behind: "Are you still coming back?!"
The big leader paused, then turned to look at Qiu Qi: "If I can, I will."
…
…
When Mu Zihuan saw the young man in front of him, he took two steps back in fright. He would never have thought that he would see this person here. Everyone thought that the young man in front of him had died for a long time, and died with great honor on that isolated island in the sea.
However, he is still alive.
"Little... little grandpa!"
The corners of Mu Zihuan's mouth twitched a few times, and after regaining his composure, he hurried over: "Young master, why did you come here? You don't know how hard it is for you to find me! My father-in-law hasn't stopped looking for your whereabouts until now. , sent many experts to Penglai Island to investigate, but there is no news of you."
The leader of the Red Eyebrow Army turned out to be Mu Xianjun, the young master of the Mu Mansion.
"Why am I here?"
Mu Xianjun's eyes were cold: "I want to know more, why are you here! Is it your own idea or my father's military order? No matter who it is, why did you do this!"
Mu Zihuan was so frightened by Mu Xianjun that his shoulders trembled, and he replied embarrassingly: "This is... this is the military order of the father-in-law. Little father-in-law, the father-in-law doesn't know that the red eyebrow army is your team, if you know , It is impossible to order this battle. But my little father-in-law, why do you refuse to go back even though you are alive? Do you know how worried your father-in-law is?"
"go back?"
Mu Xianjun said: "I don't have the face to go back... Five thousand brothers all died in battle on Penglai Island, and even Yan Li died in battle, but I was the only one who survived. If I go back, my father will allow it." Should I lead troops? No way! If I don’t lead soldiers, how can I avenge those brothers who died in battle on Penglai Island! How can I comfort their spirits in heaven!”
"But now, I lead the red eyebrow army to kill foreigners, but you lead the army to kill my red eyebrow army!"
He pointed at Mu Zihuan: "Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now?"
Mu Zihuan is one of Mu Guangling's generals, and his cultivation level is naturally not weak. It is not an easy task for Mu Xianjun to kill him easily. But Mu Zihuan knows that even if Mu Xianjun kills him, he can't fight back... because he is Mu Guangling's son.
"Young master, this is indeed a misunderstanding!"
Mu Zihuan said: "The Red Eyebrow Army rushed to Fenghuang Terrace. My father thought that the Red Eyebrow Army was going to join the Black Banner Army. Not long ago, the Black Banner Army and the Luling Army jointly attacked the granary and killed all of us. With a small number of troops, half of the food and grass were taken away. The father-in-law was worried that the Red Eyebrow Army was allied with the Black Banner Army, so... "
"Our enemies are foreigners, how come they become our own people now?!"
Mu Xianjun raised his head and sighed, his arms drooped weakly.
"Little lord, lord, this is just to resist foreigners. You also know that the situation in Eastern Xinjiang is too chaotic now, and each branch of the army does its own thing, and they don't listen to lord's orders at all. How can we fight foreigners in such a state of disunity? So, What the father-in-law means is that he wants to stabilize his own people, and only then can he gather the greatest strength to drive out the foreigners."
"Nonsense!"
Mu Xianjun said angrily: "I don't believe it was my father's decision. How could my father make such a mistake because he is so wise and wise? It must be you villains who got into the slander and tricked my father!"
"Little Grandpa!"
Mu Zihuan's face was a bit ugly: "You also know that whoever decides the father-in-law's decision?"
What Mu Xianjun wanted to say, Liu Juan, the general of the Mu family who was standing aside, quickly came over to him: "Young master, calm down, this is just an accident, if you came out earlier to recognize each other, you wouldn't be fighting each other, wouldn't you?" huh? Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, why bother to get angry again."
He smiled obsequiously, and held Mu Xianjun's arm.
"Well, let go of the siege of Shilixia now, and let the troops of my Red Eyebrow Army come out!"
Mu Xianjun said loudly.
Mu Zihuan's complexion changed: "I'm afraid... this will not be easy. People and horses have been deployed on both sides of the Shili Gorge, and you heard the sound of the horn outside. The attack has already begun. Even if the humble official gives the order now, it is too late. Moreover, this It's the father-in-law's order, how can a humble official dare to resist..."
Just as Mu Xianjun was about to get angry, he was stopped by Liu Ju'an again.
"Young master calm down, we will order the withdrawal of troops!"
Liu Ju'an glared at Mu Zihuan: "General Mu, since this is already a misunderstanding, the father-in-law will naturally not blame us. Now that we have found the little father-in-law, we have obtained another fierce soldier for him. Why would you be angry? Besides, if you know it’s the young master’s men and they want to attack, I’m afraid the father will get angry.”
Mu Zihuan was startled, just about to say something, but saw Liu Juan winking at him.
"good!"
Mu Zihuan nodded immediately: "The humble official will send someone to order to release the blockade on both sides of Shili Gorge."
"snort."
Mu Xianjun snorted coldly: "If the two of you refuse again, I will really get rid of the two of you. If my father asks me, he can't do anything to me..."
When he said this, his face suddenly changed, and he pulled his arm out of Liu Juan's hand and retreated a few meters away: "Liu Juan! How dare you do that!"
As soon as he finished shouting, his body shook involuntarily.
"Young master, you are only to blame for being stupid."
Liu Ju'an chuckled, and flashed his hands towards Mu Zihuan: "I practice poison, and I can use poisonous poison and kill people invisible. You are stupid because you didn't guard against me... It's too late to realize it now." Now, my poison has infiltrated into your body, if you dare to move your inner strength, you will die faster."
Mu Zihuan was startled: "Liu Ju'an, what are you doing!"
"What are you doing?"
Liu Ju'an sneered and said, "Who knows that the young man is back? Who knows that the young man is still alive? As long as he is dead, the man will not know about it! Don't even think about it. What is the future? I heard that the Duke intends to adopt your eldest son. If Mr. Mu Xian returns, will your son still be able to inherit the position of Duke? Can he still become the master of the Mu Mansion? I am helping you now! "
Mu Zihuan's expression kept changing, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
"You two scumbags! I'm going to kill you!"
When Mu Xianjun heard this fury, he used his inner energy to kill someone, but at this time, the poison in his body had already exploded, and he shook and fell down.
"Don't hesitate!"
Liu Ju'an stepped forward and kicked Mu Xianjun, looked at Mu Zihuan and said, "You are Mu Guangling's cousin, but has he ever looked at you for so many years? In the future, your son will become the master of Mu's residence, you This vein is considered to be developed. You will thank me in the future, don't forget my help to you today!"
After hesitating for a while, Mu Zihuan stomped his feet: "You killed me... If that's the case, then deal with this little bastard quickly, and don't let others know."
"rest assured!"
Liu Ju'an sneered and said: "He won't be able to live after being hit by my poisonous kung fu. This guy has always thought that his cultivation base is very strong. In fact, if he is not the son of Mu Guangling, who would praise him like that? He doesn't know, The title that I hold as the number one person of the young generation in Eastern Xinjiang is nothing but everyone's praise. At night, I personally found a place to bury his body... without anyone noticing it, it's just that when your son grows up Patriarch of the Mu Mansion, don't forget my contribution today."
Mu Zihuan sighed, "What else can I do?"
