As the night gradually fell, the cold wind blowing through the mountains and forests became more and more fierce. The strong blows made the rocks on the mountainside become even colder. Peng Shiyu sat quietly on a rock and listened carefully to the sounds around him. , not even letting go of the sporadic cicada chirping.
Not long after, a burly lieutenant pressed his sword tightly and stepped forward with a face full of eagerness: "Sir, it's good for sneaking at night. These pursuers are biting too hard, so hurry up and give the order to set off! Head eastward for another two hundred miles. It's just a mountain. The last general is willing to lead his troops to cut off the rear..."
Peng Shiyu moved his eyes to the left, staring at the deputy general's mottled and thin face. The expression on his face was suddenly distorted by pain and regret, and he murmured: "Yanfu, something happened in Dongxi this time. The traitor murdered my grandpa and framed me. When everyone rebelled and left, only you, the Qin family brothers, would follow you to the death. If it weren't for the two brothers Yan Sheng and Yanxian who risked their lives to save us, my little sister and I would not even be able to leave Xizhou City!
Now you are the only one left among your three brothers. If you fail again, how can I, Peng Shiyu, show up to see Uncle Qin's family? "
As if the bloody memory was brought back to his mind, Qin Yanfu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, the wealth of my Qin family was given by Grandpa and you. Grandpa is gone, and I can't let it go even if I die." The traitor has harmed you and the lady! No matter how hard you live, you may end up hunting tigers with me in the next life! Sir, hurry up and get on your horse with the lady, don’t waste any more time!"
Then he turned around neatly and led the horses from behind the rock with a few guards.
After he and Peng Qingying mounted their horses respectively, Peng Shiyu held the reins with one hand and pressed his heart with the other, saying solemnly: "Brothers of the Qin family have been so kind to me. I, Peng Shiyu, will never forget them until I die! If I can fight back to Xizhou one day, I will I swear to cut off the thieves’ heads and flesh, and pay homage to the heroes of our fallen brothers!”
"Thank you sir——"
Suddenly, in the middle of his words, Tan Yanfu's voice stopped abruptly. His whole body stood stiffly on the spot, and blood began to pour out of his nostrils and corners of his mouth. Then, like a broken piece of wood, he fell down among the rocks with a plop, and soon fell to the ground again. He rolled out of control and fell into the forest.
Peng Shiyu didn't even react, "Hey, rest, rest!" More than a dozen personal guards on the side fell down and died tragically in exactly the same way. When he was shocked, he didn't understand that such a familiar scene was not exactly the trump card of the Dongxi barbarians. ——Blow dart?
"Be careful with the arrows! Form up to meet the enemy!" Peng Shiyu drew out the sword from his waist with a "swish" sound, looked around eagerly and roared: "Qingying, you go first!"
"Leave? Can you leave?!"
An extremely cold and stern voice came from the forest not far away, and at the same time, the surroundings were illuminated by the sudden rise of torches. Peng Shiyu and Peng Qingying were tightly protected by their guards in the center. They were horrified to find that the forest near the mountainside I don’t know when, but all the barbarian soldiers were there!
What suddenly shocked Peng Shiyu was the all-too-familiar figure, a general tightly bound in black armor, walking slowly from the forest to the light, followed by dozens of barbarians holding blowguns. soldiers.
"Adao... Shangzhuguo?" Seeing this cold face, Peng Shiyu shouted in disbelief, and his heart couldn't help but become confused, because the person who came was none other than his brother-in-law, Shangzhuguo Tian Sidao.
(Note: Tian Sidao, in the fifth year of Tianfu in the Later Jin Dynasty, was granted the official position by King Ma Xifan of Chu. He was appointed as the governor of Wu'an Army, deputy military and horse envoy of Chongjing Koudu, doctor Yinqing Guanglu, regular attendant of inspection school Yousanqi and censor. Doctor, Shangzhuguo)
Tian Sidao walked slowly over, smiled perfunctorily and raised his hand: "It's me! Sir, you must be polite!"
Peng Shiyu, who had blood-red eyes, ignored his younger sister's obstruction, separated from the crowd and stepped forward, angrily yelling: "Could it be that the general who has been chasing me for so many days is actually you, Tian Sidao?! Do you know that Tan Yanfu, who died just now, and these brothers , almost all of them are acquainted with you! In vain, I treated you as a brother in the past, why did you listen to other people’s slanders, follow the rebellion, and repay kindness with enmity? "
Tian Sidao was calm and composed, shaking his head contemptuously and saying: "Repaying kindness with hatred? Humph, how can you consider small favors in the face of righteousness? You Peng Shiyu killed your father and killed your brother. You are a heinous sin. Man and God are angry, and heaven and earth cannot tolerate it! No one among us, Dongxi Erlang, wants to cut your body into pieces. Wan Duan! Peng Shiyu, remembering our friendship in the past, I continue to call you uncle. If you know better, follow me back to apologize to the elders of the clan! Maybe you can even keep a whole body..."
Seeing Peng Shiyu clutching the sharp sword in his hand, his face turned pale, Peng Qingying mustered up the courage, took out a silver short knife from her arms, stepped forward angrily and said loudly: "How shameless! My eldest brother was with me that day. After hunting in the mountains, I found that my grandfather and several brothers had already gone when I returned home! It was clearly Na Tian Hongyou's ambition and malicious frame-up!
Tian Sidao! Your Tian family has been greatly favored by my Peng family. You also grew up with us, and you are my eldest brother’s brother-in-law! Don’t you know how my Peng family has treated you over the years? How can you follow your treacherous foster father to cause trouble? Thanks to my eldest brother, I still treat you as a brother. You are really blind, bah! In the reincarnation of heaven, how can you end up with a good ending if you torture my father and brother! "
Under the light of the torch, Peng Qingying's snow-white and delicate face was illuminated, which made her even more stunning. The girl's clearly visible firm face did not appear fragile at this time.
After all, they have known each other for many years. Tian Sidao was startled at first, and then swallowed his saliva and said: "My adoptive father has worked hard for Dongxi for many years. He is aboveboard, why should I frame him? Hehe, Peng Qingying, you are only twenty years old, how do you know nothing about a prostitute? So do you people. You are as stupid as a pig or a dog, but you were tricked to this point by Peng Shiyu! Let me ask, why is the poison found in Peng Shiyu’s room consistent with the bungara snake poison in the Taiye’s body? Furthermore, the Taiye’s legacy is for the Second Master to inherit Ancestry! It was Peng Shiyu who had a grudge and killed his father and brother..."
Sparks of hatred burst out in Peng Qingying's eyes, she bit her lips and said coldly: "It's just a bottle of poison, how can it count? I'm a member of the Dongxi tribe, who doesn't have several bottles of snake venom at home? As for my grandfather's death, it must be Tian Hongyou cheated! The eldest brother has been the governor of Xizhou for a long time! The second brother is far away in the Tang Dynasty, how can he inherit the ancestral business?"
"That's it! The matter has come to this, there's no point in arguing! You are now at the end of your rope. If you persist in your obsession, don't blame me for not remembering our old feelings! Peng Shiyu, let me just think that you are a man. Do you want to bring down Qingying and so many brothers?"
Tian Sidao obviously lost his patience. He gritted his teeth and raised his hand and shouted: "Blowman!"
Peng Qingying straightened her delicate body and stood in front of Peng Shiyu without fear. She raised her dagger and shouted: "You dare to touch my brother!"
All the personal guards fired their weapons together. These warriors were already prepared to die for their lord, and the bloody battle was about to begin.
"Wait!"
Staring at the slightly trembling hands of his younger sister, Peng Shiyu sighed heavily. After looking at Peng Qingying for a moment, he also raised his sword and said with a wry smile: "Adao, we have known each other for many years, you know me! I am a descendant of the Peng family. , I would rather die in battle than be captured without mercy!"
Tian Sidao spat on the ground disdainfully and said ferociously: "In that case, I will help you, so why are you talking nonsense?!"
Peng Shiyu showed a gloomy face and asked in a low voice: "Can you tell me, my wife, and Yuntao, what are they doing now? Since you have won the inheritance of the third generation of my Peng family, can you not embarrass my younger ones? My wife, after all, she yes......"
Tian Sidao directly put his hands behind his back and said with full arrogance: "Don't worry, Siyang is my sister, also named Tian! They have the protection of my Tian family! It is you Peng Shiyu who committed evil things, so naturally the women and children will not be affected. !”
Then he grinned and said: "But you reminded me, since you are already dying, I might as well tell you that Siyang has been mine for a long time! Haha, and your son... ....”
