Chapter 689 Why should a hero be a hero?
Seven days later some of the muddy roads were back to their original state.
The Qianlongwuwei quickly left the camp and rushed toward Yun'an Pier.
After receiving the falcon's message from the scout, the White Lotus Sect's rebels once again harassed the merchants at Yun'an Wharf today. Cheng Kai, who had already received the order, immediately ordered his troops and rushed there.
After Cheng Kai left, Song Qing, Liu Mingzhi and others also led a group of troops towards Yun'an Pier. They were still worried that the army would not be a match for the masters of the White Lotus Sect.
"Hero, spare your life, I have an old man above me and a young man below me. You can take the goods away, so please spare our lives!"
Murong Shan held a slender and soft sword and looked at the caravan master who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy with a cold expression: "Don't look back. Take your people and leave immediately. If you see our appearance, what can you do?" It’s hard to say if you can’t survive!”
"Thank you, thank you. We all know the rules and will never look at the appearance of any of you heroes!"
"Elder, the goods have been loaded onto the truck. The brothers monitoring the camp found no sign of Long Wuwei sending troops! Everything remains the same. The officers and soldiers of Long Wuwei stay in the camp every day to practice gymnastics!"
Murong Shan's pretty face with a veil was a little surprised, and her flexible eyes were full of confusion: "What do these officers and soldiers mean? We have robbed seven caravans, and they don't come out to make decisions for these people. ?”
"Isn't it better this way, elder? We can safely plunder goods and accumulate property!"
Murong Shan looked at her brothers and shook her head: "The leader means to send out all the troops to encircle and suppress us. If they continue to stand still like now, it will affect the leader's plan!"
The expressions of his subordinates changed: "Are you treating us as abandoned children?"
Murong Shan's face froze and she looked at the hundreds of brothers who were carrying the goods with a look of unbearability. She looked at the eyes of her subordinates who were seeking knowledge and nodded slightly.
"The leader's intention is to use us as bait to lure the officers and soldiers into action. Azheng, if you find out, don't tell us, lest you cause panic among the brothers!"
Ah Zheng looked at Murong Shan with a pale face: "Elder, we have made great contributions to the leader, but he has abandoned us as abandoned children. The brothers are in the Douzi Department because of your generosity and kindness to the brothers. Okay, the one you brothers support is you, not the shady guy like the leader. Since he is ruthless, why don’t you lead the brothers to occupy a mountain top and we can become kings on our own?"
Murong Shan bit her lips gently: "It's not that easy. If we really establish ourselves as the kings of the mountain, the leader will definitely eradicate it for fear that we will leak the matter! Even if we don't die in the hands of the officers and soldiers, we will die in the hands of the leader. !”
The steel knife in Azheng's hand struck the wood of the pier: "Everyone on the left and right is dead. Isn't the leader afraid that the brothers will be disappointed when he treats the brothers in the church like this?"
"Elder, Boss Azheng...the officers...the officers and soldiers are here!"
Murong Shan's face tightened, and she sighed silently. What was supposed to come had come.
"Nonsense, why haven't the officers and soldiers even left the camp? Okay, so it turns out they are colluding!"
"Azheng!"
"exist!"
"I don't want the goods anymore. Hurry up and run away with your brothers. Run as much as you can before the officers and soldiers arrive!"
"Elder, where are you? What should you do?"
Murong Shan held up the soft sword in her hand and stared in the direction of Jinling City: "You guys run away quickly. I have the strength to resist them for a while. What they want is me, a big fish. If you stay, you will die in vain!"
"No, if the elder doesn't leave, we won't leave either!"
Hundreds of congregants waved their swords, guns and sticks in their hands and looked at Murong Shan and shouted in unison: "We are not leaving either. Elders, we are leaving together or we will die together!"
"Azheng, take the brothers and leave quickly. If you stay here, you will be holding us back. Long Wuwei is not a waste like those from the imperial army. You are no match at all. Without you being tied here, I might be able to use Qinggong to dodge their arrows and escape!" "
Ah Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Elder, take care and escape alive!"
"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly!"
Ah Zheng waved the steel knife in his hand: "Brothers, run away, don't let down the elder's good intentions. The elder is very strong in martial arts and can use light kung fu to escape without us holding him back!"
A group of people followed Ah Zheng and quickly evacuated without hesitation!
Murong Shan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Azheng and his group finally leaving. Fortunately, she did not believe that the leader's spies had placed secret sentries to monitor Long Wuwei's camp, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Murong Shan's face became anxious again, thinking about the best time to leave.
Murong Shan would certainly not be stupid enough to stay here and die in vain if she could survive.
Keeping the hour silently in her mind, Murong Shan suddenly heard shouts of death and screams coming from the direction where Azheng and the others were escaping behind her.
His expression changed, and he hurriedly used Qing Kung Fu to fly towards the direction of the sound.
Cheng Kai sneered and looked at the White Lotus sect members who were surrounded by three hundred cavalry: "The commander-in-chief is really clever and knows that you traitors will plant spies in the camp to monitor us!"
Ah Zheng held the steel knife across his chest and carefully looked at the cavalry commander Han Peng who was driven back by his sword.
"Why are you here?"
Han Peng looked at Azheng contemptuously: "You think you are the only ones who know how to use tactics? What your spies saw were our infantry. The cavalry had already outflanked us. If you put down your weapons, there is still a way to survive. If you persist in resisting, there is only death." One, Long Wuwei treats prisoners preferentially!"
Han Peng clearly remembered the words of Young Master Liu about his preferential treatment of prisoners. Young Master Liu always shouted this sentence every time he led the army to encounter the members of the White Lotus Sect.
"Don't even think about it! Brothers, we will form a formation to fight these officers and soldiers!"
The dozens of White Lotus sect members who were still alive immediately gathered together to form a formation to confront the cavalry.
"slow!"
Cheng Kai signaled the cavalry not to charge, and he rode slowly to a stop dozens of meters in front of the White Lotus Sect members.
Cheng Kai looked at Azheng and the remaining members of the White Lotus Sect in surprise: "Have you ever been a soldier?"
Ah Zheng sneered: "You are quite discerning. I have indeed been a soldier. These brothers are all elites trained by me!"
Cheng Kai narrowed his eyes: "Since you have been a soldier, why would you join the White Lotus Sect to resist the imperial court? The imperial court's salary for soldiers is very generous. I, the general, cannot imagine why you would give up your honor to do such things as licking blood with the blade of a knife!"
Ah Zheng grinned and stared at Cheng Kai with a look of disdain: "You are generous? You are indeed generous! My brother who is generous is killing enemies in northern Xinjiang and my mother is starving to death without even knowing it at home!"
"You're talking nonsense. Whenever a soldier goes on an expedition, the court will give his family enough money to live every year, and the court does not select single soldiers for recruitment. How could something like you say happen?"
Ah Zheng ignored the gleaming crossbows in the hands of the cavalry and inserted the steel knife into the ground. He took off his clothes with both hands and pointed it straight at Cheng Kai.
Cheng Kai gasped as he looked at the dense wounds on Azheng's chest, including knife wounds, sword wounds, and arrow marks, as many as six or seven!
Cheng Kai could tell at a glance that these were wounds left by Turks' scimitars and arrows.
"My uncle and my brothers fought bloody battles in northern Xinjiang to protect our family and country. When Xiu Mu came home to visit my brother, my mother's grave was covered with grass. She was starving to death!"
Cheng Kai's lips trembled slightly: "Someone drinks the blood of soldiers?"
Azheng's eyes turned red and he laughed hoarsely: "Brothers, fight with them!"
Seeing Cheng Kai, a member of the White Lotus Sect who was desperately rushing upwards, he sighed, closed his eyes, and waved the flag fiercely: "Fire the arrow!"
Suddenly, screams could be heard endlessly, and the three hundred cavalrymen suddenly felt a sense of respect as they looked at the more than seventy White Lotus members who fell to the ground with arrows in their chests.
Han Peng took a deep breath: "They are all men! Although they are bandits, they still have the blood of the Han family!"
Ah Zheng was kneeling on the ground with seven or eight feather arrows stuck in his body. His mouth was bleeding and he looked at Cheng Kai calmly.
"Protecting the family...defending the country...the home...being destroyed and people dying, why should a hero be a hero at this point!"
Cheng Kai looked at Azheng who was already exhausted and showed a trace of respect: "After repeated orders from the imperial court, there are still people who take risks and drink the blood of soldiers. You are right, there is no need for a hero to be a hero now!"
"General, what should I do?"
"Give me a grand burial!"
PS: The water glass was poured on the computer and it was already repaired. As soon as I got off the train, I went to the Internet cafe to re-code the words.
I hope everyone will bear with you. In the past two days, updates can only be coded on mobile phones, and maybe not that much.
