Half of the setting sun hangs on the mountains to the west, with only the last afterglow remaining.
Inside the tent, Cao Shuang asked: "Where is Qin Zhongming?"
"Dead." The civil servant who was at the end of the ceremony said.
The civil servant paused for a moment and then said: "General Guo led his army to the vicinity of Taibai Gate this morning and fought a dangerous battle with the bandits. Taking advantage of the bandits' fatigue and unsteady footing, General Guo won the first battle. Our army has forced the bandits to Taibai Gate.
to the west, and captured some Shu soldiers captives.
According to the prisoners, the Shu army was blocked in the valley for two days and two nights and missed the opportunity. After defeating Qin Liang's army last night, the Shu general became furious and killed everyone in pursuit.
Five hundred people were almost wiped out! Only the people who were in charge of the rear last night were the first to escape before the battle, and some of the faster ones survived. The rest were not spared."
When Cao Shuang heard this, he sighed with emotion.
Deng Yang's voice said: "How did these people become so brave on their way back?"
Yang Wei said coldly: "Without the bravery of the front army, our army of 100,000 troops would be blocked in Tang Valley, with no way forward and back, and supplies would be exhausted. The consequences would be disastrous!"
He paused for a moment and then said, "It's a pity that Qin Zhongming, for the safety of the main force of the Wei army, was determined to sacrifice his life from the beginning. He is brave and resourceful, loyal to his heart, and does not hesitate to sacrifice his life for the country. If you are a scholar,
If this is the case, why should the state affairs be like this?"
Deng Yang still wanted to speak, but Cao Shuang glanced at him and said: "Everyone is dead, so don't say a few words. Five hundred people faced tens of thousands of enemy troops, let alone fighting for two days and two nights. If you don't run away immediately, you are a warrior."
"
Everyone felt sad when they heard this.
Yang Weidao: "The general said something fair. Although I don't know Qin Zhongming, if such a loyal man continues to slander, he will only chill the hearts of the people in the world."
At this time, someone murmured: "It is normal to guess that the Shu army is coming to cut off the retreat, but how could Qin Zhongming be so accurate and stop Fei Yi on his way?"
No one in the account can answer this question.
After a while, someone answered: "Is there a spy in the school affairs office around Fei Yi?"
Cao Shuang also sighed again: "Qin Zhongming."
...Qin Zhongming is not dead, but he feels like he is soon.
Last night, the three of them first ran away with the rebels, and Qin Liang soon realized that they couldn't escape. Because the slope of the second line of defense was very large, and ridge fortifications were built, so many people were rushing to get there, and they would be blocked on the slope.
On the small road.
So Qin Liang and others entered a ravine in the south in advance, and unexpectedly some rebels followed. The Shu army came in pursuit and chased and killed them. A few people panicked and ran around along the ravine. They were still there in the middle of the night.
Shocked.
The armors had long been cut off from each other's ropes and thrown away, and the three of them were covered in skin wounds from thorn branches.
They looked for a place to rest until dawn, then wandered around the surrounding valleys and lost their way. However, even if they could find the road, Qin Liang did not dare to go out of the mountain for a while. The Shu army had now occupied the valley south of Taibai Mountain.
The most urgent problem right now is to find water first. Being hungry is secondary. In this midsummer season, it is really difficult to survive without water for too long.
Among the three of them, only Xiong Shou brought a water bag, and he only had half a bag of water left, having already eaten all the food throughout the day.
At this time, Qin Liang was facing the two people, urinating into the water bag, and cursing secretly: I fucked your Maa, Ma Shu, I fucked your Maa, Guo Huai!
He suddenly realized that Guo Huai was over fifty, and the old woman had probably passed away long ago. He also remembered that the Wang family's charm was still there, so he thought to himself: I'm going to fuck your wife.
After a while, Qin Liang took a warm water bag and handed it to Xiong Shou. He sighed, frowned and said seriously: "If you just drink your own urine, forget it. If you want to drink this mixed urine,
It’s definitely a bit hard to swallow.”
Xiong Shou took the water bag in disgust and said, "I won't drink anyway. I'll die of thirst."
Qin Liang raised his head and looked at the only corner of the sun left in the west mountain. He sighed and lowered his head to continue observing the soil on the ground. It seemed that there were traces of people walking on it, not like wild beasts. So the three of them continued on their way along the ravine.
"Fu Jun!" Yang Wei suddenly called in a deep voice.
Qin Liang raised his head and discovered several wooden huts on the hillside.
There are actually people living in this wilderness, probably Taoist priests or hunters. He remembered what Ma Shu said: This place is close to Taibai Mountain, the closest place to the sky. Taoist priests like to come here to collect immortal energy.
Yang Wei said: "The prince of the government will stay here while my servants go up to inquire about the military situation."
Qin Liang said: "We are almost dying of thirst. If I hurt you, I won't survive. Let's go up and have a look."
So the three of them drew their swords and followed the path on the hillside to climb up to the vaguely visible hut.
Qin Liang thought to himself: If you are a hunter or a Taoist priest, you can ask for some water and exchange valuable things for food. The two linings inside him are made of silk material, but they are a bit torn.
The three of them had just climbed up, but before they got close to the hut, five or six people suddenly rushed out from behind the house! One of them was holding a bow and arrow.
The bow and arrow were aimed at Xiong Shou, because Xiong Shou was the largest and at least looked the most capable of fighting.
Qin Liang and others immediately stood on the spot with their weapons in hand. After a while, he could clearly see the six people on the other side, including a woman wearing khaki robes. It looked like they were dressed like Taoist priests.
With so many weapons, he didn't look like a serious Taoist priest. But the other party didn't take action immediately, so Qin Liang immediately said: "Everyone, please calm down. If we fight, you won't be able to escape unscathed! No injustice, no enmity, no casualties.
, why bother?"
The woman in yellow robe snorted, looked at the embarrassed appearance of Qin Liang and others, and asked: "Wei soldiers?"
Qin Liang heard that she sounded like she had a Qingzhou accent, so she was probably not from Shu, so he said, "Yes, we don't have any ill intentions, we just want to find some water to drink."
At this moment, a man approached the woman, called "Master," and whispered something in her ear.
After listening for a while, the woman suddenly burst out laughing. Then she stopped smiling and asked, "Did you really urinate on the dead man's head?"
Qin Liang suddenly realized and said: "What a fate. It's quite a remote place. Did any of you see it?"
The woman looked at Qin Liang, sheathed her sword, turned around, took a gourd, and threw it this way.
Qin Liang caught it with his left hand and immediately noticed the sound of water inside. He immediately unscrewed the stopper.
Yang Wei said: "Servant, please drink first."
Qin Liang didn't think much and handed it to Yang Wei. Yang Wei raised his head and took a deep breath. After waiting for a while, he handed the gourd to Qin Liang.
"Ha..." Qin Liang took a few sips, sighed contentedly, and handed the gourd to Xiong Shou.
Soon the three of them drank all the water in the gourd, and after returning it to the woman, asked for another gourd. Qin Liang put the sword back into the scabbard to show his kindness. But after drinking the water, his physical strength gradually declined.
Recovery and drawing the sword are very fast.
Qin Liang asked: "Your Excellency, are you a Taoist priest?"
The woman nodded.
Qin Liang observed them thoughtfully.
The woman said again: "It's not the Yellow Turban Army. The Yellow Turban Army has ended long ago. We only use Talisman Water to save people, not to make trouble."
Qin Liang said: "Even if it's the Yellow Turban Army, it doesn't matter. I'm not the Emperor of Wei, so what does it have to do with me?"
He thought to himself: It would be better if it were the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army. The rulers of Liu Han hated the Yellow Turban Army to death. These people are Yellow Turban Army, and the possibility of being Shu Han spies would be smaller.
Those who take risks and harm others always have a motive. The most dangerous people now are those who work for the Shu Han. The motive is to arrest Qin Liang and others to perform meritorious service and receive rewards.
At this moment, something embarrassing happened. This woman was actually not very beautiful, mainly because the skin on her face was not very good, but she was neither fat nor thin, her figure was feminine, and her yellow robe was not enough
He was thick, and his chest was slightly exposed. Qin Liang hadn't touched a woman for several months. After drinking water and regaining his strength, his robe actually moved. He could only pretend to be uncomfortable and bend down. Fortunately, he was smart and no one noticed.
In fact, the danger to his life has not been eliminated, and the situation is still bad, but some things are purely chemical problems and have nothing to do with factors such as rationality, right or wrong. Qin Liang is like this, even if death is in front of him, he can stand up, which can be called awe-inspiring and upright.
