At dusk, the setting sun is like blood.
A long group of two to three hundred people began to head west after leaving the camp on the river bank.
For some reason, Miao Tong always felt a little uneasy in his heart. In the past few days, he had also heard that Feifu's side had actually become a Wuzhou rebel.
Of course, Miao Tong didn't believe it. I just feel that there must be some conspiracy in this.
"Here you go, let's rest nearby for the night, and then head to Chuzhou tomorrow."
"Follow the general's orders."
…
Once the dusk goes, it becomes a dark night. In the camp, Miao Tong thought for a long time and was just about to fall asleep, but he didn't expect that he suddenly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps.
He was so frightened that he stood up with his sword in hand. When he raised his head and moved forward, he saw four or five bodyguards who had been shot by arrows in the firelight. They were all covered in blood. They were using their last strength to bring back the news of the enemy attack. .
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
Not long after, the two to three hundred personal guards in the camp quickly gathered. Miao Tong gritted his teeth, hurriedly put on his robe and armor, and ran forward with rapid strides.
Click.
One of the guards who was delivering the message was cut off by someone with a knife, and he fell bloody in a pool of blood.
The man carrying the knife was clearly the supervisor from the previous dock.
"My lord has an order to kill the traitor Miao Tong." The supervisor with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks laughed and waved his hand forward. After a while, there were a lot of people around the camp.
"General Miao, I'm offended. In addition, I have another piece of bad news for you. Your family members in Chuzhou have been imprisoned for the crime of rebellion, and they have been executed. Haha, this is what the lord meant. Get rid of the roots."
Miao Tong stood there for a long time before a cry of extreme grief came out of his throat. He was holding the knife and his body was shaking violently.
"Congratulations to General Miao."
"kill!"
Flying arrows flew from all directions, killing dozens of guards in the blink of an eye.
"Haha, these fools even took off their robes and armor in order to follow a traitor! They are like turtles in a jar." The thin supervisor raised his head and laughed.
Miao Tong's chest exploded, he roared three times, and charged into the enemy formation with his sword, slashing down three enemy soldiers who were blocking his way.
"Quick, stop him!" Supervisor Jun shouted.
Miao Tong gritted his teeth and was about to rush in front of the Slender Supervisor——
Bang.
A loud arrow shot from behind and penetrated Miao Tong's chest. Miao Tong coughed blood and fell backward.
"Okay, good shot! Move quickly and kill this rebel!"
Dozens of people waved swords and shields and rushed towards Miao Tong who fell to the ground.
"General——"
Countless personal guards who took off their robes and armor stood in the way without fear of death. Blood splashed into Miao Tong's eyes until the entire night was dyed blood red.
One after another, more than a hundred personal guards stood in front of Miao Tong. People kept falling down and dying with their eyes open. This scene reminded Miao Tong of that day when he recruited local warriors in his hometown to create peace in troubled times.
"We are willing to follow the general and serve King Ling."
…
"ah!"
Miao Tong's eyes were about to burst, he stood up with the knife in his hand and staggered forward.
"General——"
Seven or eight bodyguards covered in blood hugged him tightly and dragged him back.
"General, mount up!"
Miao Tong held the knife and shouted angrily, already determined to die. However, the old guys who followed him from his hometown were not willing to let him die, and without any explanation, they put him on the horse.
"Congratulations, General."
More than a hundred personal guards cried and shouted in the dark night, and took weapons to block the way back.
In the end, out of the two to three hundred personal guards, there were less than thirty people left, and about twenty riders fled all the way into the gloomy night.
…
On the other side, Feifu, who is also a pro-Shu faction, is also facing life and death. Like Miao Tong, almost all of the personal guards who followed him died.
Fife coughed up blood and collapsed weakly on the ground. There were cuts all over his body.
More than 10,000 soldiers and horses cannot escape even with wings.
Unexpectedly, only a few hours later, people gathered from the other two states also surrounded him from other directions.
"Everyone, please look, this is Fefu, a popular man under the former lord. What a pity, this fool actually kissed Shu!" Looking at Fefu who was surrounded in the middle, Cai Meng raised his head and laughed.
Most of the generals transferred from the other two states knew Feifu, and some persuaded Cai Meng to arrest him first and send him to prison to await his punishment.
"How can this be done? This is a traitor!" Cai Meng shouted, "Everyone, why are we gathering 30,000 troops this time? It is to suppress the rebellion! Feifu, the traitor, is here with us. The wait is just around the corner!”
"Cai Meng... the traitor——"
Bang.
Cai Meng stepped forward angrily and kicked Fefu to the ground. He then raised his tiger-skin shoes and stepped on Fefu's face to prevent him from speaking again.
"Profess Western Shu and rebel against Dongling. You should have known that you would end up like today. I won't hide it, Feifu is one of the masterminds of this rebellion in Wuzhou!"
Cai Meng's words made other generals frown, and they had no intention of persuading him. Everyone knows that the lord on the Kezhou front line hates traitors the most. Tang Wuyuan of Qingzhou betrayed the alliance and almost brought the entire Dongling into a desperate situation.
"I, Cai Meng, took the military merit of killing the rebels! Feifu, don't blame me as a colleague. It was you who found your own way to death."
Feif understood the pun, and suddenly a smile appeared on his bruised face.
"why are you laughing."
Feifu didn't answer and closed his eyes in silence.
In the darkness, he thought of his lord and his many acquaintances in Xishu. He is close to Shu, and he never wants to be a traitor.
He and Miao Tong once said an interesting thing. There will never be an enemy between Xishu and Dongling. On the Xiangjiang River, there are no iron cables that cut off the river, and there are no exploration ships from both sides patrolling day and night. The people of Shu and Ling have friendly exchanges. There are boats, merchant ships, and boatmen traveling on both sides of the river. Under the beautiful wind and sunshine, there is an endless stream on the river.
Perhaps it was this longing that made Feife laugh again.
"I cut you—"
Cai Meng became furious, swung his knife and slashed it down.
Blood splattered everywhere.
…
There are about ten miles away from the intensive encirclement and suppression. The faces of Feifu's personal guards who escaped from Qi Ba Qi had a look of sadness on their faces.
If they had not received the order, they could not help but go back and die.
"Raise your head and don't forget General Fei's last words." An older guard shouted in a low voice.
"We will take General Fei's token and go to the Yue Mufeng tribe south of Wuzhou to avenge General Fei."
The Mufeng tribe of the Yue people is Feifu's ancestral family. Although the tribe is not large, it is extremely brave and has a reputation for bravery among the fifty thousand mountain camp.
"Walk."
Riding on thin horses, seven or eight figures stepped on their horses' hooves in the night, stirring up bursts of dust and smoke, and slowly disappeared.
