There is a saying that in good times and destiny, I am happy, with wine and meat, but in bad times, disasters will come one after another, and life and death are not up to anyone.
A few days ago, Jiang Jing and others were still buying gold and silver on Huangmen Mountain, and they had a lot of meat for a long time.
It had only been a moment, and several suns and moons had passed, but now it was like this, without even a shelter from the wind and rain. Dozens of brothers above and below had to sleep on the quilt and the ground as a bed.
It's not just the screams, but they also wake up all the time, panicking every second, and be careful where a group of officers and soldiers come out of the gap, and where the rocks fall and roll on top of their heads.
In short, there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. It is extremely miserable.
Just in the past two days, many brothers have become desperate and dare not take another step forward, wishing to bury themselves on the spot.
Jiang Jing was the leader of this group. Although he tried his best, he knew that the way forward was cut off.
Today, I led a group of brothers to this mountain col and looked around. I was afraid it was the place where they were buried, but it was a beautiful place with beautiful scenery and clear water. It was a good place to go.
Here I sat down next to the rocks, getting half warm from the mixed fire.
A man was about to emerge from the crowd of brothers. He came closer and said bitterly: "Second Master, I'm afraid the food we brought down the mountain won't be enough. After tonight, what will happen tomorrow?"
It was true that there was a leak in the house and it rained all night. Bad luck only seeks out the poor. They had reached this point of no return, and they didn't expect that they lost food in their bags again.
After thinking deeply for a moment, Jiang Jing sighed: "That's all, since there is not much food left, I will cook it all together so that the brothers can eat well and have a good sleep. They will all fight out of the mountains with me early tomorrow morning. "
"If there is someone who is lucky enough to live and be called to Daming Mansion to find Mr. Gao, tell me, Jiang Jing, that I have failed to live up to my trust and take the first step. If everyone gets lost on the road, my brothers will not be alone if we go together."
"Second Master..." Hearing this, the subordinates felt miserable in their hearts and were speechless.
Jiang Jing patted him on the shoulder, comforted him, and asked him to make arrangements.
This person also knew that they were afraid of their fate, so he stopped talking.
After setting fire to the rebellion, Jiang Jing called everyone over and told the truth.
"Brothers, I don't blame others for traveling to the fields today. I just blame our bad luck. After all, we don't want our brothers to go hungry. Let's eat as much as we can today, and let's take care of our destiny tomorrow!"
When everyone heard this, they all remained silent and just stared at the bowl of soup in their hands.
Seeing everyone in this state, Jiang Jing couldn't bear it. He couldn't say anything to comfort him, so he could only sigh, raised his head and drank a bowl himself.
Seeing this, the others just ate it all in one bite, threw their bowls, and made up their minds.
Just then, everyone was asked to find a place to rest, and they would go down the mountain as soon as it saw light tomorrow.
And at this time, they suddenly heard a noise in the mountains and forests, and everyone immediately became alert. Some people pulled out their swords and cursed angrily.
"What a thief, he bullied others so much that he didn't even let us brothers have a rest for a night. In this case, brothers will fight with him!"
"Yes, fight them!" The others all agreed.
Jiang Jing looked at the commotion in the forest over there, frowned slightly, raised his hand and said: "Brothers, don't worry, I don't see much movement over there. It doesn't look like a large number of officers and soldiers are coming to kill, but it seems like there are only One or two people."
After hearing Jiang Jing's words, everyone looked suspicious.
They asked the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them, and they chased them into the mountains. They were surrounded by large numbers of officers and soldiers. It was difficult for even a fly to fly in, let alone people.
Ordinary people would not be born in this forest at this time.
Then who will come?
Before everyone could distinguish them, they saw three figures suddenly emerge from the forest, and they were close in the blink of an eye. Just as he was about to raise his knife and step forward, Jiang Jing could clearly see who was coming through the firelight.
"Slow down!"
He exclaimed and immediately stepped forward: "Coach Yang, why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Yang Zhi!
It turned out that Yang Zhizi rushed to Daming Mansion to report that Jiang Jing and others were surrounded and suppressed by the army and trapped in the mountains.
After Gaokan decided on a rescue plan, he, together with Lu Zhishen and a group of people, came overnight.
There were dead horses on the road, and they arrived in just one day after a two-day journey. They found a place to stay outside the mountains and secretly observed the movements of the officers and soldiers.
After nightfall, Yang Zhi thought that Jiang Jing and the others would be in trouble in the mountains, and did not know the situation outside, so he discussed with Lu Zhishen, and he found two capable men to set off at night together.
The three of them bypassed the ambush and siege by the army and sneaked into the mountains to find the whereabouts of Jiang Jing and others.
After a lot of effort, I finally saw the light of fire in the mountain col and hurried over.
The two parties were extremely happy to meet each other. Jiang Jinglian pulled Yang Zhi to sit down by the fire and asked, "Instructor Yang has worked hard all the way. It's a pity that we are at the end of the mountain and have no hospitality."
"It's okay, second in charge, I'm just worried that my brothers will have a hard time in the mountains, so I came here all the way."
As Yang Zhi said this, he motioned to his companions to take out the things they had brought.
The two of them immediately took out two wine jars, and the other took out a few bags of food, both of which were brought with them.
Putting the food in the room and asking the brothers to share it, Yang Zhi pulled Jiang Jing and talked.
"Teacher Yang, we are besieged in the mountains this time and have reached a dead end. We don't dare to drag the young master and your brothers down any more. Thank you for sending us wine and meat and asking our brothers to die as hungry ghosts. Just now we have made up our minds that tomorrow morning Let's just kill each other down the mountain, and those who can escape will be counted as one, and those who can't escape will go on the road together with the brothers. If you don't call me alone, it will be a waste of your efforts."
Hearing Jiang Jing's words, Yang Zhi laughed and said: "Haha, second masters, you must sacrifice your lives first, the young master still doesn't agree!"
Hearing this, Jiang Jing's expression changed and he asked, "Why did Coach Yang say this? Is there still a way to survive?"
"certainly!"
Yang Zhi said decisively: "After we parted ways with the second master that day, I rushed to Daming Mansion to see the young master and begged him to try to save the brothers. Although the young master was in a dilemma, he thought hard and finally came up with a plan."
Then he told Jiang Jing all about Gao Kan's instructions.
At the end, he said happily: "Now Master Lu and the brothers are waiting for the opportunity in the village at the foot of the mountain. As soon as the army brigade leaves, we will take action immediately, cooperate inside and outside, and find a way out!"
Jiang Jing heard Yang Zhi's words and looked surprised in his eyes. After a long time, he said: "Tell me, sir, to worry about it. We will never be repaid with death. If we can really get out of trouble this time, we will definitely consider our kindness."
"Don't worry about the second master. The young master greatly appreciates the loyalty and bravery of the second master and all the brothers. He will definitely not leave everyone with no way out. You don't have to be anxious. Just wait for the opportunity in this mountain."
Yang Zhi pulled Jiang Jing and said: "As soon as the time comes, I will come to join you immediately and fight out together."
"It's good, but the dry food we carried has been exhausted. I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for a few more days." Jiang Jing said again.
Yang Zhi smiled and said: "What's the matter? We can come here once, but we can come twice. We can just go up the mountain to deliver it tomorrow. Don't worry."
"Then there's Coach Lao Yang!"
