But Xie Jing shook his head.
Xie Baobao, who was always obedient, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, we are here to sleep."
Di Ying thought about it too.
Now, not causing any trouble is the greatest help. He fell into coma again.
Outside, a group of them also stretched out a long line, forming a high and low half arc around the cliff path halfway up the mountain.
Dark clouds run fast.
But this is a mountain trail.
There are too many enemies ambushing beside the mountain road.
Some of the guards rushed into the mountains and forests to kill the enemy; some cut off the rear; some protected the road, but unknowingly they were scattered in the rush.
Unknowingly, Peng Liang fell into the enemy's shadow alone.
But he didn't bother to kill those with long and short weapons in their hands. He only stared at the archers at the outermost edge of the ambush circle, leaping and fighting.
On such a rainy night and such a dangerous ambush, arrows were the biggest threat.
Peng Liang couldn't even remember how many times he had been ambushed since he followed Lord Di. He lost count of the number of ambushes alone.
The most dangerous time: the time when Wan Yuexiong was killed after returning to Beijing thousands of miles away, right?
That time, the enemy dug traps, set up rows of sticks, hung nets, and pulled trip wires, and there were more of them.
Your Excellency was injured that time.
But it was not because of his own injuries, but because he helped his brothers to block the knife.
Among them: The knife that hit the Lord on the waist was a big net that was caught. When Peng Liang went to slash, someone attacked him again, and the Lord rushed to block it for him.
Peng Liang originally wanted to take that blow forcefully. It's not fatal anyway, he has to cut through the big net first, otherwise, he and the adults will become minced meat and no longer have the strength to struggle.
Who knew adults could be so brave...
But this time, Peng Liang's heart kept sinking when faced with enemies that were overlapping and dense, with extremely dim vision, and coming like waves.
He didn't know if the adult would be injured this time.
The only thing that makes me happy is that adults no longer have to defend themselves against knives.
Peng Liang could let go. He would risk his injuries and kill all the archers.
Time passed quietly in the bloody wind.
As the number of wounds increases, the blood flows less and less...
The number of enemies is getting smaller and smaller, and there are more and more corpses on the ground.
In my ears, I heard the evacuation bell on the carriage getting farther and farther away.
A powerful enemy suddenly arrives.
Peng Liang, who was covered in blood and could hardly open his eyes, smiled at the other party.
With bleeding fingers, he put his fingers into the purse at his waist, took out a small peach, and stuffed it into his mouth with trembling blood.
"It's so sad, little sister, brother is here to see you... Our family is reunited..."
The enemy's long sword cut off his left arm.
His long sword used his last strength to cut through the enemy's throat.
"Sir, take care..."
Peng Liang murmured and fell on his back.
I am so unwilling to accept it. There are still many things that have not been done, and there are still many bad people who want to harm the adults in his family.
But what to do...
He can't accompany you anymore, and he can't protect you anymore. Sir, the road ahead is difficult, please take it slow... I hope I can protect you again in the next life...
"Boss!"
"Pengtouer!"
"Pengtouer!!"
"..."
It was the brothers calling him, but the voices were getting farther and farther away from him. He pulled the corners of his lips with difficulty.
It's great that they are all still alive...
Dark, boundless...
…
Yongning County. Inside the inn.
Three days later, Di Ying slowly opened her eyes. I wanted to get used to the light, but found that there was only one candle in the room, which was not bright.
"Sir, are you awake?"
When Xie Jing saw that the adult finally woke up, he came over. After confirming, he quickly brought warm water and carefully fed him two small spoons.
After Di Ying felt the moisture in her throat, she shook her head slightly to indicate that she would not drink anymore.
He closed his eyes again, slid his Adam's apple up and down twice, and said softly: "Help me, write a letter of recommendation to His Majesty, recommending... Huo Xianke... Ren, Ren Chaozhong Yushi."
"What?"
Xie Jing suddenly became unhappy. He even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.
He shouted at the top of his voice, then curled his lips and said, "Sir, you have finally recovered from your illness. You don't ask this or that, but you want to recommend that bad guy? Are you really not sick and confused?"
The master has been ill for three days, so Xie Jing made three days of mental preparation on how to tell the master about Peng Liang.
He was very happy to see the adult wake up before, but he was afraid that the adult would open his mouth and ask where Peng Liang was... so he couldn't even laugh.
What's going on now? No one asked, sir. Instead, he just opened his mouth and recommended Huo Xianke...
Xie Jing touched the master's forehead angrily. He felt that the master's illness was not cured at all.
Zhou Lin, on the other hand, went to find paper and pen without saying a word, and finished writing as soon as he picked up the pen. Then he stamped it with your personal seal and asked Tang Shiyi to deliver the letter to the inn without any delay.
"grown ups!"
Xie Baobao, who was about to cry, looked at his senior brother and didn't know who to be angry with.
He simply said angrily to the adults: "Don't you know how much trouble you have suffered along the way? It is the end of February now, the cold and heat are mixed, and there is not even a decent pharmacy along the way...
You...you had trouble getting water and food, and you suffered for these three days...
We are on tenterhooks, terrified, and finally hope that you will wake up, but is this all you do?
Not only did they let Huo Xianke go, but they also recommended him? No matter how generous you are, you are not so generous, right? "
"Yes, yes, sir, what do you think? I dreamed of killing that guy, but you..."
Nie Bo couldn't figure it out either and started yelling.
Di Ying leaned on the soft pillow, smiling tiredly and weakly on her face, which was almost bloodless and thin.
He explained softly: "When an official from another place passes by, he has the right to drive us away. If others don't drive us away, it doesn't mean that others are right.
The fact that he dares to rush shows that he has the courage to offend others. Isn't it just suitable to be a censor?
We don’t need to be proud of our status, let alone think of ourselves as noble. Now that he and I are both county magistrates, and he has done nothing wrong, you should stop arguing with him.
I feel wronged to you. All the officials are bigger than mine, but you have to follow me and suffer the anger of a small county magistrate. If I don't recommend him away, I'm afraid that one of you will kill him quietly. "
"grown ups!"
Xie Jing was so angry that he turned his back and pouted so much that an oil can could hang on his lips. Tears finally fell down.
That night, brothers...
Xie Jing really wanted to cry loudly.
He hates the adults in their family so much, why do they have to be so, so... why do they have to be a good official. For the sake of adults, he should think about what's going on and why he can't do it!
Suddenly I heard the adult speak again.
The sound was small but clear.
"Peng Liang...is gone...right?"
