Yang Jiangyi bit her lip tightly and said: "General Liu, if you care about Jiangyi's courtesy to you at the banquet that day, I can make amends for you. If you want to drink, I will drink with you. I just ask General to have mercy on the people in Biluo Village. The lives of tens of thousands of refugees are saved, go and save them immediately!"
Yang Jiangyi's "nature" is particularly soft but strong at the same time. She is determined not to give in. But Xiao Ningning's family is in Biluo Village. If they don't go to rescue, they will be in trouble. She said this. I begged Liu Zongmin in a low voice.
Liu Zongmin said coldly: "Miss Shi Xue's words are serious! If the girl wants to drink, Liu is willing to accompany her, but there is no way to get Liu to agree to send troops."
Yang Jiangyi's eyebrows stood up, and he stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword behind his back, and was about to unsheath the sword, but Hua Bushi quickly reached out to stop him.
After all, this is a military camp. There is no benefit in starting a fight with Liu Zongmin here, and it will only make up for the situation.[
"General Liu refuses to send troops and misses the opportunity to fight. If Biluo Village is captured by the army, aren't you afraid that General Li Chuang will come back to hold him accountable?" From the look on General Liu's face, Hua Bushi knew that he was using the refugees in the village. The lives of the rebel soldiers could not move this person at all, so they could only carry out Li Zicheng, hoping to make him have some scruples.
However, Liu Zongmin didn't care at all and said: "When Brother Li comes back, Liu will explain it to him, so Mr. Shi won't have to worry about this!"
Hua Bushi said: "In that case, General Liu can just take care of himself! Sister, let's go!"
Liu Zongmin sneered and said: "It's easy for you two to leave, but Zongmin won't send you off!"
Being pulled out of the military tent by Hua Bushi, Yang Jiangyi had a look of anxiety on his face and said: "If Liu Zongmin doesn't send troops to rescue, Biluo Village will definitely not be saved. What should we do? We can't just let it go. I Go in again and beg him, or else use your sword to 'force' him to send troops!"
Hua Bushi grabbed Yang Jiangyi's hand, shook his head and said, "Sister, he has already decided not to send troops. There is no point in begging, and using force is not an option! We can only try to find other groups of rebels now. Let's see. Let’s see if there is any chance.”
In Huaiqing City, in addition to Li Zicheng's troops, there are also Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng and Luo Rucai who are capable of rescuing Biluo Mountain and fighting Zuo Liangyu's army. However, even the troops from Biluo Mountain Stronghold's headquarters refused to return. If there is no reinforcement, how can other rebels send troops?
Gao Yingxiang was not in the city. Hua Bushi and Yang Jiangyi found his subordinates and asked to see Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng and others. The replies they received were that the situation was unknown and they would not act rashly. Among them, Zhang Xianzhong was even more rude and refused to send troops. , and even made some sarcastic remarks. But at this time, the young master no longer cared about arguing with him.
It took an hour to walk around the various rebel camps in the city, but in the end it was just a waste of time.
After coming out of the camp of Luo Rucai, the last "Cao Cao", Yang Jiangyi could not help but shed tears. She remembered that when she was in the "Huashan Sect", her master Hua Qing was injured by the innate energy. When her uncle and uncle came to save her life, she kowtowed and begged everywhere, but was rejected again and again. It was very similar to the situation today.
The only difference is that she was the only one running around asking for help back then, but now there is Hua Bushi beside her.
Based on Hua Bushi's understanding of the leaders of the various rebel armies, he only had a glimmer of hope in persuading them to send troops. This result was already expected. Seeing Yang Jiangyi crying sadly, he reached out and held her hand, comforting her. : "Sister, there is no need to be sad. The matter is not dead yet. Brother Li should be back in the city within the next day or two. As soon as he hears the news, he will definitely send troops to rescue Biluo Mountain. It will be too late before it starts."
Yang Jiangyi said: "I won't stay here and wait, I want to save Ningning!"
Hua Bushi said: "Of course. We and the Pili camp rushed to Biluo Mountain first. Even if we can't defeat Zuo Liangyu's large group of troops, there should be no problem in rescuing Ningning from the mountain stronghold."
Yang Jiangyi felt most distressed about Xiao Ningning. After hearing what Hua Bushi said, she wiped away the tears on her cheeks and nodded.
The two of them immediately mounted their horses and left the city without delay.
When they arrived at the south gate, they saw only one or two hundred soldiers gathered at the city gate, standing in formation. Two war horses stood in front of the formation. The two generals riding on the horses, one black and one white, were none other than Li Guo and Hao Yaoqi.
Seeing Hua Bushi and Yang Jiangyi approaching, the two generals rode up to meet them.
"Master Shi!" Li Guo said, "Uncle Hao and I each brought more than a hundred brothers from the camp, and we are going to rescue Biluo Mountain with Master Shi!" [
Hao Yaoqi also shouted: "Yes, Biluo Mountain is our hometown. We must not lose it and we must save it no matter what!"
Hua Bushi glanced at the rebel soldiers behind them and asked, "Does Commander Liu know when you are leading the troops out of the camp?"
When Li Guo was about to answer, Hao Yaoqi had already shouted: "I don't know what made the mistake of Commander Liu today, but he just refused to agree to send troops! We led the troops ourselves and we didn't tell him!"
In fact, when Hua Bushi saw that there were less than 200 soldiers behind the two of them, he had already guessed this. He immediately shook his head and said: "You two generals should go back to the barracks quickly. Since General Liu doesn't know, you are sending troops against the order like this." , the guilt is not small.”
If a general orders his troops to leave the camp privately, according to military regulations, it is a crime to be executed.
Li Guo said, "Master Shi, you are moving troops everywhere to rescue the stronghold. How can we, the people of Biluo Mountain, be unmoved? There are more than a hundred brothers here. Everyone has a family, wife and children in the stronghold. If you are killed by the officers and soldiers, After capturing the stronghold, none of them will survive! Now everyone has made up their mind to go back for rescue even if they violate military orders. No matter what the culpability is, we don’t care!"
Hao Yaoqi also said loudly: "Li Guo is right, no matter what his crime is! If he really wants to chop off my old Hao's head, Brother Li will definitely not be able to do it!"
Hua Bushi pondered for a while and said: "General Li, General Hao, in my opinion, you should stay in Huaiqing City for the time being. Brother Li will definitely return to the city in the next two days. Please tell him about this so that he can send troops to rescue. Otherwise, even if we go to Biluo Mountain now, these hundreds of troops will be very useful in fighting against the army."
Hao Yaoqi said: "How can it be useful? Let's rush back to the mountain stronghold together. We will save as many people as we can. At worst, we will have to fight with the army!"
Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "Fight hard and make amends. My subordinates are all cavalry. It will be faster to rush back to Biluo Mountain. Then I will try my best to save people, and at least I can help the village stay longer. You guys It would be better for the two of us to wait for Brother Li to return to the city and return with the army for reinforcements."
The two hundred disciples of the Pili camp all had horses, but the soldiers under Li Guo and Hao Yaoqi were all infantry. If they marched together, it would slow down their speed, and this small number of troops was not enough to fight against the officers and soldiers, even if there were more
One or two hundred people would be equally able to save the day if they returned. The only hope to truly solve the difficulties in Biluo Mountain is to wait until Li Zicheng returns and recruit thousands of people to help.
The rough man Hao Yaoqi couldn't think of so much, but Li Guo immediately understood the meaning of Hua Bushi's words, and said immediately: "Uncle Hao, Mr. Shi is right. We'll stay here for the time being until Uncle Hongji returns.
Send troops!"
Before Hao Yaoqi was about to speak, Hua Bushi had already handed over his hand and said: "Without further delay, I will leave immediately. Please try to contact Brother Li to inform the two generals of the situation. The more than ten thousand lives in Biluo Village can be
They are all waiting for the army to rescue them!"
After he said this, he didn't stop and just drove his horse away.
Seeing Hua Bushi and Yang Jiangyi galloping out of the city, Li Guo clasped his fists and said loudly: "Thank you Mr. Shi for your righteousness. My nephew will inform his uncle of the general's situation as soon as possible before sending troops!"

When Hua Bushi returned to Qingyang Town, everyone at the "Evil Dog Gate" had already packed their bags.
The young master didn't say much, and immediately gave the order to set off. A group of more than two hundred people rode out of the town, onto the official road, and sped away in the direction of Biluo Mountain.
Ximen Tong spent a lot of money to buy the horses of the disciples of Pili Camp. Each horse is one of the best horses. Now, this advantage has finally been put to use. From Huaiqing City to Biluo Mountain
It is seven to eight hundred miles, and even if you ride a horse, it usually takes five or six days to travel. The "Evil Dog Gate" group traveled day and night. It only took two days to arrive at Xiaoshan, which is only more than twenty miles away from Biluo Village.
.
It was already dusk at this time, and the setting sun had sunk behind the distant mountains, leaving only a few red clouds on the horizon.
After two days and two nights of galloping, with almost no rest in the middle, even the disciples of the Perak Camp who had undergone rigorous training were inevitably tired. Their mounts were all breathing heavily, and some of them were already foaming at the mouth.
, obviously it can’t support it for much longer.
Hua Bushi, who was already weak in physique, was shaking a little while riding on the horse. His forehead was covered with sweat, and he didn't have much physical strength left. However, although his face was pale, the expression on his face was solemn.
Especially when you see the setting sun setting over the mountains and smoke rising faintly from the horizon, it becomes even more gloomy as ice.[
"Master, have you seen it? There seems to be black smoke rising over there!" Chu Yiyi galloped to Hua Bushi's side and asked aloud.
Hua Bushi didn't answer, just nodded.
"That's to the west, right in the direction of Biluo Village. Is there a fire in the village?" Yang Jiangyi's heart sank, and the look of anxiety on his face became even worse.
Smoke only comes out when there is a fire, and black smoke can be seen from more than 20 miles away, so the fire must be huge. Could it be that Biluo Mountain Stronghold has been breached and the officers and soldiers are setting fire to the stronghold?
Hua Bushi gritted his teeth and said: "Send the order to speed up, we will rush over as soon as possible!"
Although the mountain road was very difficult, even though all the horses and horses were exhausted, as soon as Hua Bushi's order came out, everyone speeded up their horses and galloped over ten miles in just a moment, approaching the foot of Biluo Mountain.
