Zhou Zhiruo's body moved, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to kill Yang Han and clean up the house. Xiang Yan hurriedly reached out and held Zhou Zhiruo's delicate hand to stop Zhou Zhiruo's next move. It is true that Yang Han was seriously injured at the moment, but the two of them were at the end of their strength. If Yang Han had to be killed now, and Yang Han resisted desperately, he might not be able to pull one or two people on his back before dying. If you want to kill Yang Han, you will always have a chance in the future, so you don't have to die with him now.
The atmosphere was a little tense. Xiang Yan broke the deadlock and asked Yang Han: "Brother Yang, why are you here?" Yang Han said sadly and angrily: "The Tatars are not trustworthy. I was ambushed by the Tatars as soon as I arrived at the Tatar camp. I jumped into the river and escaped with my life." Xiang Yan asked again: "Why did the Tatars ambush you? Are the Tatars unwilling to accept our surrender?" Yang Han said: "The Tatars are only willing to accept the surrender of their soldiers, not us. The leader took refuge.”
Xiang Yan nodded, feeling a burst of schadenfreude in his heart: "I see. Although you claim to be a rebel rather than a rebel, Hamatu and Wan Zhe are not fools. Could it be that they really can't see what you are? If Sichuan is empty now, and the soldiers in your hands can be somewhat useful in helping them stabilize the situation, then what use are you leaders with ulterior motives to the Tatars? If they keep you, aren't they digging a hole for themselves? "
Xiang Yan secretly despised Yang Han in his heart, and then said: "Brother Yang, what are your plans now? Do you want to go back to Emei with us?" Yang Han said: "You guys go back first, I plan to go to Wu Gorge to defect to Ming Yuzhen , persuade him to raise troops to regain Chongqing." He gritted his teeth and said: "Since the Tatars won't let me live, then I won't make it easy for the Tatars." After that, he plunged into the water and disappeared.
After Yang Han left, Zhou Zhiruo and Xiang Yan drank some sips of river water to quench their thirst. Zhou Zhiruo said with a cold face: "Why didn't you kill Yang Han just now to clean up the house?" Xiang Yan said: "Yang Han was able to escape from the Tatar camp, which shows that his skills are not bad. Although he is injured now, we are still at the end of the war. . And he is in the river and we are on the shore. If we insist on going into the water to kill him, we may not win if we actually do it. There will always be opportunities in the future to clean up the family, and we cannot afford to fight to the death with him now. "
Zhou Zhiruo scolded: "Yang Han betrayed Emei, and every disciple of our sect killed him. How can we let him go because he is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Xiang Yan was so ashamed that he dared not speak. Zhou Zhiruo added: "Yang Han was seriously injured and it will definitely not heal in ten days and a half. We are just overtired. As long as we rest for one day, we can regain our energy tomorrow. Let's rest for one day today and then go again after we regain our energy tomorrow. The same goes for asking Yang Han to clean up the house."
Xiang Yan knew that Zhou Zhiruo was trying to comfort him, so he didn't dare to answer. Zhou Zhiruo said: "Just now Yang Han refused to go back to Emei with us. He didn't even dare to go ashore to bandage his wounds and left in a hurry. It seems that he was also worried that we would go back to clean up the house and kill him. Later, we can't rest together. We have to be careful about Yang Han. He set out to plot against us with the intention of killing us with force."
Xiang Yan said: "Well, senior sister, you need to rest first. I'll call you after I prepare something delicious." Zhou Zhiruo agreed, found a place to lie on the ground and fell asleep.
Xiang Yan caught two fish from the river. After grilling the fish, he was about to wake up Zhou Zhiruo when he suddenly found that the sunlight made Zhou Zhiruo's white and red face as beautiful as the morning glow, and Xiang Yan felt a little swayed in his heart. By some mistake, Xiang Yan pecked Zhou Zhiruo on the lips. After coming back to his senses, Xiang Yan's heart was beating fast.
Zhou Zhiruo suddenly opened her eyes and said with a smile: "Have you made something delicious? Why didn't you wake me up?" Xiang Yan said hurriedly: "Oh, I grilled two fish." He was uneasy in his heart, always worried that Zhou Zhiruo would know that he was Secretly kissing her.
The two took turns to rest. At dusk, Zhou Zhiruo said: "We have recovered most of our energy now. Why don't we kill Yang Han and clean up the house now." Xiang Yan said: "Okay. But where is Yang Han? He said he wanted to Go to Wu Gorge to seek refuge with Ming Yuzhen. Should we go to Wu Gorge to find him?" Zhou Zhiruo said: "Yang Han was seriously injured when he met us. He needs to treat his wounds. He will not be able to run far. Let's go to Wu Gorge first to look for him. Look and see if we can find any traces of Yang Han's treatment of the wound. If not, we'll look in other directions."
The two of them searched in the direction of Wu Gorge, and soon found traces of Yang Han coming ashore to treat his wounds. Xiang Yan said: "Yang Han didn't lie to us. Is he really going to defect to Ming Yuzhen?" The two continued to move forward and found that Yang Han had gathered hundreds of people.
Xiang Yan said: "No wonder Yang Han didn't lie to us. After all, so many people can't hide it from others. It's just that Yang Han is protected by a large army now, so it's not easy for us to kill him." Zhou Zhiruo still didn't give up and said: "Let's follow them first. Wait until Yang Han is alone before taking action."
The two followed Yang Han's army and did not wait for a chance to make a move for several days. However, many tribesmen who had been scattered joined Yang Han's army.
Xiang Yan said: "I didn't expect that Yang Han's troops were getting more and more. But how did his tribe find him?" Zhou Zhiruo said: "They should have discussed it before. If the Tatars don't accept their surrender, they will Go east." Xiang Yan said: "Does Yang Han really plan to defect to Ming Yuzhen?" Zhou Zhiruo said: "Anyway, it's not far from Wu Gorge. Let's go to Wu Gorge to see it first."
A few days later, Yang Han led his troops to defect to Ming Yuzhen. Zhou Zhiruo frowned and said, "I didn't expect Yang Han to actually defect to Ming Yuzhen. This Ming Yuzhen is from the Ming Cult and has no friendship with our sect. It may not be easy to get him to hand over Yang Han." "Xiang Yan said: "Let's go back to Emei first and report the matter to the master and ask the master to make the decision." Zhou Zhiruo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go back to Emei first."
