Just when Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang were planning to assassinate Wan He, at the same time, there was chaos in the city. Seeing Qin Qiong returning from joining the army, Wan He immediately opened the city gate and welcomed Qin Qiong into the city. , when Wan He got off the city and saw Pei Renji and others, he was shocked. Pei Renji was unconscious, his whole body was covered in blood and flesh, and his right arm was missing starting from the shoulder.
Not only that, except for Pei Renji, other soldiers also suffered heavy casualties. Of the total 5,000 soldiers and horses, less than 2,000 returned to the city. Even the most powerful Imperial Forest Army lost more than half. Now only There were more than 500 people left. The soldiers who returned to the army were all pale and panic-stricken. They were obviously frightened by this battle.
"Master Guo," seeing Wan He coming, Qin Qiong also hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and said to Wan He with a guilty look on his face: "The general is incompetent and fell into the opponent's conspiracy, causing heavy losses to the army. Please ask the country The father-in-law punishes,"
Qin Qiong said this for a reason. Originally, Wanhe's troops were not enough, and now they have lost so many people. The most important reason is that Qin Qiong took such a gamble, but it is a pity that this one, Qin Qiong lost the bet, but of course Wan He had no intention of blaming Qin Qiong. He helped Qin Qiong up and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Bao, don't say that. If it weren't for you, Yanshi City would have been destroyed long ago. It has been breached, and besides, if you had not seen through the thieves' plot in time and went out to rescue them, General Pei and the others would not have been able to return safely. You have merit but no fault."
Although Wan He said this, Qin Qiong obviously still couldn't forgive herself, but remained silent. After a long time, Qin Qiong confessed to Wan He with a look of shame on his face, turned around and walked towards the top of the city. Wan He also knew that Qin Qiong still felt guilty, but he didn't say it out loud. Then, Wan He quickly came to Pei Renji's side. At this moment, Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin were guarding Pei Renji, and the military doctor He had been invited here a long time ago and was treating Pei Renji's injuries.
Seeing the shocking wounds on Pei Renji's body, Wan He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He turned to Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin, who were worried, and said to comfort them: "Xingyan, Brother Luo, you don't have to worry too much. I think General Pei is lucky." People have their own destiny, and nothing will happen to them, so don’t worry,”
After hearing Wan He's authority, Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin finally looked a lot better. Pei Xingyan stood up, bowed deeply to Wan He, and said: "Young Master, please allow me to go out of the city to fight the thieves. My father How can I, as a son, avenge my father after being hurt like this by them?"
"That's right, that's right," at this time, Luo Shixin also muttered loudly: "Count me in, I also want to avenge General Pei, ah, and the commander-in-chief, I must kill these thieves this time, "
"Okay, okay," Wan He naturally would not agree to their proposal. He just waved his hand and said, "The most important thing now is to heal General Pei's injuries. We will talk about the rest later, uh, By the way, where is Yang Gongqing? Didn't he follow you out of the city?"
Wan He's last question stunned Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin. That's right. A few days ago, Wan He specially sent Yang Gongqing outside the city, pretending to be the commander of the reinforcements, but just now he When they were fighting outside the city, one of them was fighting Xu Shiji on his own, while the other was preoccupied with rescuing Pei Renji. No one noticed where Yang Gongqing was.
Now that Yang Gongqing is missing, Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin both had a look of shame on their faces. They glanced at each other, but they knelt down directly towards Wan He. Luo Shixin shouted: "Mr. Guo, we, we, we I'm sorry for not taking care of General Yang,"
"Uh," Wan He's face turned pale when he heard what Luo Shixin said. Although Yang Gongqing's skills are not as good as Luo Shixin's, Pei Xingyan's, and others, and he is not as good at fighting as Qin Qiong and Li Jing, but after following Wan He for the past two years, He also made a lot of great contributions to Wan He, and now he died outside the city. The blow Wan He received was not small. Wan He's face immediately turned ugly. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: " Are you sure, Yang Gongqing, he is really..."
After hearing Wan He's question, Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan looked at each other again. Although they did not see Yang Gongqing being killed with their own eyes, there was a mess outside the city, and Yang Gongqing did not have that kind of peerless skill. How could he still survive? So, Pei Xingyan hesitated for a moment and prepared to tell the truth to Wan He. But just when Pei Xingyan was about to speak, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the side: "Master Guo,"
Hearing this voice, Wan He and others couldn't help but be startled, because this voice was very familiar to Wan He. He turned his head sharply and looked around, only to see a man dressed as a general covering the wound on his arm. He stood up and looked at Wan He with a surprised look on his face. He was undoubtedly Yang Gongqing.
Originally, the reactions of Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin had already convinced Wan He that Yang Gongqing was dead, but he didn't expect that Yang Gongqing would appear in front of him again. Wan He couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly walked towards Yang Gongqing. go.
In fact, Yang Gongqing had already arrived at the entrance of the camp when the war drums sounded. But as the war drums gradually sounded, Yang Gongqing also noticed that something was wrong, and immediately wanted to alert the army, but before Yang Gongqing could get close to the war drums, On the other side, an arrow hit his arm directly. As a result, Yang Gongqing couldn't even use his arm strength. He could only flee in a hurry with his soldiers. However, he didn't expect that he encountered a group of people on the road. , At first, Yang Gongqing did not tell whether the other party was a friend or an enemy, but he did not expect that the other party would launch an attack as soon as he saw him. Yang Gongqing was not polite, and took advantage of the fact that there were not many people around the other party, and directly repelled the other party. However, Yang Gongqing also suffered a lot of injuries.
He heard the conversation between Wan He and Pei Xingyan from the beginning, but he was bandaging his wounds at the time and didn't have time to shout. Later, when he heard Wan He's words, Yang Gongqing was so grateful that tears filled his eyes, regardless of the pain on his arm. The arrow wound was still being bandaged, so he immediately stood up and shouted towards Wan He and the others.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Yang Gongqing, Wan He was both surprised and happy. He immediately pushed aside the crowd and walked quickly to Yang Gongqing in the blink of an eye. He shouted with surprise on his face: "Haha, I knew it, you This life is hard enough to die,"
Hearing Wan He's words, Yang Gongqing was moved. From then on, Wan He clasped his fists and knelt down, and said peacefully: "The Lord's kindness to his subordinates is as great as a mountain. I can't repay it in this life. In the next life, I will work as a cow or a horse, and I will do it for you." The Duke of the country serves you."
Wan He was stunned at first, but then he quickly helped Yang Gongqing up and said with a smile: "Don't talk about your next life. I don't even know where you are hiding in that lump in your next life. Okay, okay, Get up and bandage the wound well,"
After comforting Yang Gongqing, Wan He looked back and saw that Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin ran to see Pei Renji's injury. Wan He looked around and then walked up to the top of the city. Once on the top of the city, He saw Qin Qiong standing alone by the female wall, her shoulders seemed to be shaking constantly. Wan He hesitated for a moment, then walked forward, but as he walked, he said: "Oh, the moon is so round today. "
Hearing Wan He's harshness, Qin Qiong seemed to be startled. Her body froze, and she quickly rubbed her face with her hands a few times. Then she turned around, gave Wan He a fist salute, and said, "Master Guo. ,you, why did you come up,"
Wan He walked to Qin Qiong's side with a smile, and looked out of the city side by side with Qin Qiong. However, Wan He's stature was much different from Qin Qiong's. Wan He glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and turned to the corner of his mouth. The next time he pulled, he took a step forward and opened a little distance from Qin Qiong. Then he smiled and said: "It's nothing. I saw the moonlight is good, so I came up for a walk. Why, you don't welcome me,"
Hearing Wan He's words, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Qin Qiong's face. He shook his head and waved his hands and said, "No, no, I don't dare. I don't dare."
Glancing at Qin Qiong from the corner of his eye, Wan He smiled, but then his face became serious again, and he said in a deep voice: "Uncle Bao, I know that after this defeat tonight, early tomorrow morning , the thieves will launch an attack,"
Hearing what Wan He said, Qin Qiong's face froze, but Wan He did not wait for Qin Qiong's answer, but continued: "I also know that with our current strength, if we want to withstand the attack of the bandits, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. I'm afraid that in a battle tomorrow, Yanshi City will definitely be captured."
After Wan He finished speaking, Qin Qiong trembled, knelt down on the ground, clasped his fists at Wan He and shouted: "My lord, the general is guilty. If it weren't for the general, my lord would have left long ago." If we are in Yanshi City, we won't be trapped in such a dangerous situation now. Lord Guo, I, I, I can't help you,"
What Qin Qiong said was what Wan He had said before that he wanted to withdraw his troops early. However, Qin Qiong confidently rejected the proposal at that time. But now, the enemy has no worries outside the city and will definitely send them away. Yanshi City is choked with Viagra. Even if Wan He wants to escape now, he probably has no choice. Seeing Qin Qiong kneeling down again, Wan He chuckled, helped Qin Qiong up again, and said with a smile: "You said you?" , why do you always kneel down? Isn’t this going to shorten my life? Well, get up quickly. Life and death are determined by fate. If God doesn’t want me to die, I won’t die. Besides, if it weren’t for you We can't delay this idea for so long. Maybe we can wait for reinforcements tomorrow."
