After two hours of horse fighting.
Chu Lushan easily succeeded in capturing Shouchun City and pursued the fleeing troops for fifty miles.
From darkness to dawn.
From the rainy night to the clear sky.
Wherever the three thousand white-feathered Qingqiu passed by, corpses littered the fields, and jackdaws flew in the air.
Wait until near noon.
It is sixty miles away from Shouchun City.
In a ruined and messy village, Yuan Shu, who had fled Shouchun City in panic, was lying on a pile of straw, looking quite embarrassed.
A pair of dim eyes, full of obsession, stared closely at the jade seal held in his hand, and murmured in a delirious state:
"I live in Huainan, with more than 200,000 elite soldiers. I have a high righteousness, a yellow-haired boy, and only 3,000 light cavalry. How dare I offend the power of Heaven and covet my throne?"
"In troubled times, the strong is the king. The strong among the strong can be called the emperor. If I hold the imperial seal in my hand, I am the destined emperor, the emperor..."
Yuan Shu's Zhong family's dragon robe was already covered in mud, his hair was disheveled, his face was dirty, and he was letting out an incompetent rage.
"Thirsty! I'm so thirsty!"
"I want to drink honey water!"
Zhang Xun, who was next to him, looked around and saw that no one dared to respond. He could only take out a water storage bag with a bitter look on his face, handed it to Yuan Shu with respectful hands, and replied:
"Your Majesty, let's escape... We left in such a hurry that we forgot to bring honey water with us. I saw a deep ancient well in the yard. The water in the well is clear and sweet, and can be drank by Your Majesty."
"Well water? I am the founding emperor of Dazhong, how can I drink just well water? If it spreads, won't I be ridiculed by the world... I will not drink it! I will never drink it..."
Before he finished speaking, a sentry was seen stumbling into the courtyard.
"Your Majesty! Big, big... something bad is happening! The enemy cavalry has arrived."
After hearing this, Yuan Shu, who was originally listless, immediately climbed up with his tired body.
"Why are you still standing there? Run for your life!"
It was important to escape. Seeing that everyone in the courtyard was still stunned, Yuan Shu hugged the jade seal and left first.
But as soon as he arrived at the courtyard gate, a fat body as bloated as a giant ball appeared in front of him.
The fat general with a sinewy face looked down, suddenly raised his right leg as thick as a tree trunk, and kicked Yuan Shu in the abdomen.
The terrifying force directly kicked Yuan Shu away seven or eight meters, and several sternum bones were broken.
"No! It's the enemy!"
"Run quickly..."
"Why are you running? The other party is alone!"
"Hurry up and protect him! Go and chop this daring guy into pieces."
A dozen Huainan soldiers in the courtyard were originally ready to flee in panic, but when they heard someone suddenly shouting that there was only one enemy, they immediately stopped trying to escape.
The man at the gate of the courtyard was a burly man as big as a giant ball, wearing a purple wolf armor, a black iron helmet on his head, and a Northern Liangdao on his waist.
All the soldiers in the hospital felt that they were able to do it again. The fatigue that they felt after being chased by the enemy all night instantly turned into raging anger, welling up in their hearts.
They all hurriedly picked up their weapons and prepared to go to protect him. Judging from the angry posture, if they didn't chop the fat man into pieces, they would never stop.
"Brothers, come on, this damn fat guy weighs at least three hundred pounds. Later we can do a few more cuts and sharpen the knife... knife after knife..."
But he hadn't waited for the man to finish speaking.
Behind the fat man, three thousand feather arrows suddenly shot up into the sky, turning into a rain of arrows, and crashed down towards them from high in the sky.
Heading towards the courtyard gate, the dozen or so Huainan soldiers who were attacking and killing them all were shocked. They hurriedly turned around and tried to flee.
But it was too late.
In an instant, a rain of arrows, like migratory locusts passing through, fell heavily on the group of Huainan soldiers.
Before they could even let out a cry of grief, they were shot by three thousand arrows and turned into more than a dozen iron hedgehogs. Their death was quite tragic.
"Killing a chicken with a bull's-eye is a bit wasteful."
"But it just so happens that this general is bloodthirsty by nature and loves luxury the most. My favorite thing is to torture a group of humble ants to death with a pot of boiling iron juice. Jie Jie Jie!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind suddenly started blowing.
The rest of the people in the courtyard only felt a chill that penetrated their bones, rushing from their spines all the way up to the Tianling Cap, and they couldn't help but tremble with their two limbs fighting.
Chu Lushan looked around and saw that there were only a few Confucian-looking advisers and two beautiful family members in the courtyard.
Taking slow and heavy steps, one step at a time, he arrived in front of Yuan Shu who was licking his wounds in the corner. Chu Lushan lifted up his dragon robe and asked in a cold voice:
"Are you Yuan Gongli?"
"I... I am Yuan Gongli. I wonder whose general the general is, but he is so brave?"
The corner of Chu Lushan's mouth raised, revealing a touch of sarcasm, and sneered: "I am the eagle dog under the command of General Zhengnan, General Chu Lushan of Thousand Oxen, Dragon and Tiger."
"Yuan Shu, something happened to you. Come with me."
Just when Chu Lushan was about to take Yuan Shu away, who would have thought that Yuan Shu hugged Chu Lushan's thigh and cried out sadly:
"General, as long as you are willing to let me go, I am willing to give..."
Just when Yuan Shu was trying to save money and avoid disaster, he found that he was now penniless and his mind was spinning.
Seeing the young and beautiful concubine next to him, Yuan Shu hurriedly pointed to the person and implored: "Your Excellency, she is my favorite concubine, her name is Feng Meiren."
"Her skin is like cream, and she is as beautiful as a fairy. The world praises her as the most beautiful woman in the Central Plains. As long as the general is willing to show his noble hand, I am willing to give her to him."
Seeing that Chu Lushan was unmoved, Yuan Shu thought out of the blue and mistakenly thought that Chu Lushan did not like his wife.
He hurriedly pointed to another gentle and beautiful woman with beautiful country and heavenly beauty.
"Your Majesty General, if you don't like wives, just take a look at this girl."
"She is my daughter and the direct princess of my Dazhong family. Her skin has been different from ordinary people since she was a child. Not only is she naturally fragrant, she is also warm in winter and cool in summer. If she can be trained a little, she will definitely be a top-notch beauty who can linger on the bed. !”
Seeing that Chu Lushan was indifferent again, Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and could only reluctantly give up his love.
He actually raised the jade seal he was holding tightly in his hand and said sincerely:
"General, as long as you are willing to let me go, this imperial seal will be yours!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Lushan was really moved.
Chu Lushan slowly raised his thigh as thick as a tree trunk and kicked Yuan Shu on the head.
The huge force kicked Yuan Shu's seven orifices, causing him to bleed and he died tragically on the spot.
He looked at Yuan Shu who was still dead.
Chu Lushan picked up the fallen jade seal and sneered: "Fool, I'll beat you to death, and the thing is mine too."
"Come here, take these two beauties into my custody. The rich ladies of aristocratic families are all arrogant."
"Lock them up and starve them for a few days first to temper their temper, and then treat them as trophies and present them to our lord, Jie Jie Jie!"
Wait until the two girls are taken into custody and taken away from the courtyard.
Wang Long, the deputy general of Baiyu Qingqi, said with some worry: "General, this mother and daughter are certainly the best in the world, but they are also Yuan Shu's relatives."
"If it is presented to the lord rashly, I will worry that they will be resentful and suddenly turn against the lord in the dead of night!"
Chu Lushan slowly played with the imperial seal in his hand, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "You don't understand this!... First of all, they are human beings, and secondly, they are Yuan Shu's relatives."
"These are troubled times, and sometimes beauty is a sin. A woman in troubled times must either submit to the strong or die bravely!"
"They will not fall into the latter category. I, Lu Qiu'er, also have the means... to let them serve my Lord willingly."
