Now, this young master can think of an answer that can explain all these questions.
Biluo Village was abandoned voluntarily.
After capturing Huaiqing City, the imperial court will definitely concentrate heavy troops to encircle and suppress the rebels. Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng will be the first to bear the brunt. With their current military strength and the law to resist the officers and soldiers, they can no longer stay in the Yu territory, so they can only abandon Biluo Village and fight. Elsewhere, the tens of thousands of refugees living in the village were all abandoned along with the village.
Even the cottage is no longer wanted, and of course the food and grass will not be transported back. The more than 200 rebels who were originally staying here must have been ordered to withdraw. Because of this, the official army captured the cottage without any effort. , and when Liu Zongmin learned that Zuo Liangyu was leading his troops to attack Biluo Village, he refused to send troops for rescue on the grounds that the information was incomplete and untrue.
Liu Zongmin was just a subordinate of Li Zicheng. Even though Liu Zongmin had already known about such a major matter as abandoning the mountain stronghold, it should not have been his decision. The only person who could really issue this order was Li Zicheng himself, [
But could this be Li Zicheng's decision? In Hua Bushi's mind, Li Zicheng was a very loyal and sworn brother and a world-famous hero. How could he make such a decision that wasted on the lives of tens of thousands of refugees?
Hua Bushi felt as if someone had punched him hard in the chest, his throat felt sweet, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell backwards.
Li Hu was shocked. He supported the young master, hugged him and sat him down on the ground, shouting: "Boss Shitou, how are you? Don't scare me." After a few breaths, Hua Bu Shicai After feeling relieved, he tremblingly reached out and took out a wooden bottle from his arms, poured out a pill and put it into his mouth, swallowing it hard. With his medical skills, he knew that the mouthful of blood he just vomited was actually the result of the past few days. The overwork, coupled with the sudden anger and heart attack, caused the symptoms of the "Qian Yuan Jue Pulse" disease. This is definitely not a good sign, but now it can only be suppressed with medicine. No matter what, At this juncture, he was determined not to fall.
"I'm fine. Please help me stand up." After a while, Hua Bushi ordered,
Li Hu helped him stand up slowly according to his words. His eyes looking at this "Stone Boss" were full of worry, but when he saw Hua Bushi's expression had returned to calmness, his pale and paper-like face just now became calmer. There was a trace of blood, and I don’t know if it was the effect of the pill I swallowed.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps was heard, but Chu Yiyi and Ximen Tong hurried over,
"Sir, we just received a message from the sentinel at the foot of the mountain. Zuo Liangyu led the troops and cavalry to attack Biluo Mountain. They are less than twenty miles away from the foot of the mountain." Chu Yiyi's tone was very urgent,
After the official army captured Biluo Village, massacred all the refugees in the village and set down a fire, they had already left, but now they left and returned. This was probably because of the three hundred heavy cavalry. Although the cavalry was completely destroyed by the Pili Battalion. After annihilation, no one escaped, but there must be a way to communicate and send messages between them and the main force of the army. Once the message was broken, Zuo Liangyu would know that something had happened, and then he would lead the army and rush back.
The distance of twenty miles is just a tea time for the cavalry, and they can rush to the bottom of the mountain.
Li Hu slapped the hilt of his sword hard with his palm and said loudly: "You're here just in time, Boss Shitou, these officers and soldiers have killed so many people, and every one of them deserves to die. We just happened to go on a killing spree and kill them to pay for the lives of the dead in the whole village. "
Chu Yiyi said: "Master Hua, Zuo Liangyu's cavalry has more than 2,000 riders, and we only have 200 people. We are outnumbered, so I think it is better to retreat first."
Li Hu shouted: "Afraid of him, are there any cowards in the 'Evil Dog Gate'? Ximen Tong, are there any cowards in the Pili camp you trained? Who cares, Zuo Liangyu has thousands of riders, let's kill him." Leave no armor behind."
He is a bold and desperate person, and he hates the officers and soldiers deeply, so how can he have the slightest fear?
In fact, not only Li Hu, but also Ximen Tong and a group of Pili Camp disciples were slaughtered by thousands of refugees in Biluo Village, which aroused grief and indignation. Everyone's eyes were burning with fire.
Hua Bushi's heart was also burned by the flame of revenge. Xiao Ningning's death had made him extremely angry. He also wanted to kill Zuo Liangyu immediately and kill all these cold-blooded executioners. However, he did not lose it after all. Reasonably, he knew very well that with the strength of two hundred exhausted troops, there was no way he could resist Zuo Liangyu's two thousand cavalry. If he fought head-on, it would be the same as committing suicide.
"Let's retreat." The young master's face was as cold as ice, and these four words burst out from between his teeth.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
It's already completely dark,
The stars and moon in the night sky are in chaos, as if the sky is also silently mourning the souls of the dead, [
On the hillside covered with green grass, there is a small earthen bag, where little Ningning was buried. She was the only one among the tens of thousands of dead in Biluo Village who was buried in peace.
Zuo Liangyu led the army and cavalry to fight back, and everyone in the "Evil Dog Gate" had to evacuate quickly. Yang Jiangyi held Xiao Ningning's body in his arms all the way until he ran down the mountain for dozens of miles and got rid of the officials. Hua Bushi ordered the army to camp on the spot. Yang Jiangyi found the hillside, dug a pit with a giant sword, and buried Xiao Ningning.
Hua Bushi put Xiao Ningning's cold body into the pit with his own hands, and watched as the cute apple face was buried in the soil.
Yang Jiangyi and Hua Bushi buried the little girl together. From the beginning to the end, both of them said a word, but because of the sadness in their hearts, they were completely speechless.
After everything was done and the two stood in front of the small earth bag for a long time, Hua Bushi said: "Ning Ning loves to see the scenery the most. The scenery on this hillside is good, and you can see the green mountains and woods in the distance. I think she will like it."
Yang Jiangyi shook her head and said: "Death is like a lamp going out. There won't even be ghosts. How can she see the scenery?"
Hua Bushi said: "No one knows whether there are ghosts in this world. Since there are so many stories about ghosts circulating, we might as well believe that Ning Ning still has a ghost and is with us."
Yang Jiangyi stared at Hua Bushi and said: "I know you never believe in ghosts and gods. You just said these words to comfort me. In fact, you have to do this. I am very sad when Ning Ning dies, but I can still bear it. Come on, I heard from Li Hu that you vomited a mouthful of blood in the village, does it matter?"
Hua Bushi said: "It's just an old problem. I've taken pills to suppress it and it's not serious. Sister, don't worry."
Yang Jiangyi said softly: "You must take care of yourself and don't get anxious. You were right before. We still have a lot to do. We shouldn't be discouraged. Although we can't save Ning Ning, we can still save her." Many others."
Previously in Biluo Village, when he saw Yang Jiangyi holding Xiao Ningning's body in despair, Hua Bushi was very worried that something would happen to her due to excessive grief. Now seeing that she seemed to have recovered, he comforted himself.
, I couldn’t help but feel relieved,
Yang Jiangyi said again: "You have slept these past two days. You are too tired. Go back to the camp and rest."
Hua Bushi said: "What about sister?"
Yang Jiangyi said: "I'll stay here for a while and I'll go back later."
Yang Jiangyi practiced excellent internal skills and told her the truth after a day or two of sleepless nights. He was not comparable to a young master with a weak physique like Hua Bushi. Hua Bushi nodded and said: "Okay, then, little brother
Let’s go first, and my sister will have a rest earlier.”
This place is located in the Yaoshan Mountains, surrounded by wilderness and inhabited areas.
The disciples of Pili Camp set up camp in a slightly flat place in the mountains and set up twenty or thirty tents. They traveled day and night for the past two days, and after a battle with the army, they were now all
Everyone was very tired, but Ximen Tong and Li Hu still arranged for their disciples to take turns guarding outside the camp, and set up patrol posts on the surrounding hills to prevent enemy attacks.
Hua Bushi originally wanted to stay with Yang Jiangyi on the hillside for a while, but he realized that his body was really difficult to support, so he had to return to the camp. The pills he had taken earlier were a way to forcibly suppress the symptoms of "Qianyuan Jumai"
And the powerful drugs that stimulate the nerves. At this time, the effects of the drug have worn off, and I just feel dizzy. With a little strength in my body, I fall on the bed and fall into a deep sleep.
He didn't know how long he had slept, but he vaguely heard the sound of horse hoofbeats in his ears, and then he suddenly woke up.
Hua Bushi opened his eyes, only to feel that his mind was still quite groggy. The oil lamp hanging on the tent wall was flickering on and off, and the fire was flickering. It was pitch black outside the tent. It was obviously still daylight, and the sound of horse hooves could no longer be heard.
I don’t know if the rider has gone far away, or if it’s just a hallucination in a dream.
He managed to sit up from the bed and found that he was covered with a goose-yellow satin cloak.
It is late autumn now, and the weather is already a bit cold. Hua Bushi fell asleep after entering the tent before, without any clothes on his body. At this time, he reached out and picked up the cloak, and immediately recognized that it belonged to Yang Jiangyi. Just now Yang Jiangyi
I must have come to check in and saw the young master sleeping on the bed, covering him with his cloak, [
Why did she come here and why did she wake up? Hua Bushi was surprised and looked around. He immediately saw a piece of paper on the table and under the tea cup. He stood up and walked forward to take it.
I passed the paper and looked at it under the oil lamp. I saw a few lines of small characters written on the paper:
"Master Bushi Junjian:
Since I met you, I have received all kinds of love, taught you swordsmanship and martial arts, and promised you life and death. Jiangyi is very lucky. I have vowed to be by your side in this life and will never leave you. However, my son has high aspirations and strives to put an end to the chaos and killings in the world. Jiangyi
I thought of it in the middle of the night, and Jiangyi decided to leave, cut off the ties of emotions and thoughts in the world, and find a remote and quiet place in the deep mountains and swamps, understand the Buddha nature, cultivate my mind diligently, and achieve great success in the future.
Perfect, Jiangyi will definitely come back to help you achieve your great ambition. If you can't succeed, Jiangyi will never see you again in this life. I beg you, sir, to forget and cherish you. Jiangyi sheds tears when he says goodbye."
