Chapter 31

In front of her eyes, when she was writing, she looked gentle, frightened, and occasionally smiled. How can she resist the torment? He struck the tombstone with one palm, and with one palm, he cut the tombstone made of wood piles into pieces: "you didn't die after committing suicide so many times; you didn't die after starving you for two days; why do you die now? Girl, I won't believe you're dead..."

He folded the paper, put it in his arms, kicked the wine pot thrown on the ground with one foot, and staggered as he walked, scolding: "girl, if I catch you, I'll look good on you. Girl, I swear, no matter where you hide, I'll pull you out..."

In a flash, six years have passed, and each of them has been in exile

This is a Shanzhai called Zhending in Hebei There is a group of well-known bandits gathered here. Tao Jun, the leader of the bandits, not only led the crowd to rob the countryside, but also occupied all the commercial cities in Zhending. The officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed many times without success, and the force of the bandits became stronger and stronger This time, the newly appointed Xuanfu envoy ordered that all efforts be made to encircle and suppress the bandits

The bandits have long been exposed to the wind, and naturally actively deployed defense On that day, a group of businessmen from other places came to the stockade. Tao Jun was overjoyed and immediately ordered to arrest these powerful businessmen and force them to join the gang in order to expand their ranks and cope with the encirclement and suppression of the army

A few days later, Tao Jun was drinking in the stronghold and received a report that an official of the imperial court led dozens of cavalry to scold and challenge in front of the stronghold Seeing that there were few officers and soldiers, the bandits opened the gate of the stronghold and shouted

Jia Jin, the second leader, fought with the leading team leader. The team leader parried for several rounds. He was not the opponent at all. With a whistle, he turned his horse and ran away. Tao Jun waved a knife on the door and laughed, "this bird was originally a Silver Pewter gun head. I killed all the bird officers and soldiers, leaving none..."

The bandits chased out angrily. Unexpectedly, at the foot of the mountain, they suddenly heard the defeated officer scream, ambushed around and surrounded him tightly. The young officer who had originally looked like a bear suddenly changed into a man, and returned to kill with a long gun in his hand. Less than ten rounds, Jia Jin was shot in the center of the nest, and immediately fell off his horse and died Seeing this, the other bandits threw away their instruments and knelt on the ground, shouting for mercy And those "businessmen" who sneaked into the stronghold turned out to be soldiers disguised. Taking advantage of the emptiness, they set fire everywhere and smashed the bandit nest Tao Jun hurriedly rode away and tripped over the horse rope. The team leader came up, put his foot on his chest and captured him alive. Then he commanded the people to press the prisoner and return triumphantly with the spoils

When the first World War was won, the Xuanfu envoy was overjoyed and personally welcomed out of the yamen, but saw the young man on the horse:

He wears a silver helmet and a lock armor The silver maned horse is just like a white dragon swimming in the water; The fountain gun is like a phoenix dancing pear flower All white and covered with silver A horse is like a lion, and a man is like a King Kong Where guns come, everyone dies; When the horse arrived, everyone died

Name calling Yue Pengju!

Yue Pengju had already dismounted, and it was too late to salute. The Xuanfu envoy had held him, looked at the calm young man with great appreciation, and said with a smile, "Peng Ju, you are really good. After working hard, go back and have a rest. I will give a banquet to celebrate your success."

Yue Pengju took his time and made up a salute before saying, "thank you for your appreciation. I'm going to visit a close relative I haven't seen for many years because of the agreement. I beg your permission to return tomorrow."

"OK, OK, go and get back quickly."

"Thank you."

Deep in the shade, geese and sheep flock

The closer Yue Pengju is to that place, the more nervous, excited, looking forward to, missing, excited... Thousands of emotions rush to the bottom of his heart, and he can't wait to see that familiar face at a glance

It's been six years since sister and brother parted. I don't know how she is now

After entering the farmer's household, he immediately dismounted. Yue Pengju found that the number of farmer's households from farming decreased significantly; Occasionally, there are a few hungry children, all of whom are strangers

After six years of absence, Castle Peak did not change, and his personnel had changed

Suddenly afraid, sister, will she have left here? He learned later that he had been away for years, the war was in chaos, and general Zhong died of illness

My heart is more urgent, and I can't care whether there are familiar faces anymore, so I just walk in

The hall of Nuo Da was empty, and only an old man was shivering and dozing at the door. He was delighted that he knew this old man, Zhou Bo, the old servant of the house of planting He stepped forward and made a promise: "Uncle Zhou..."

The old man opened his dazed eyes: "brother, there are no guests here. You can vote for him elsewhere..."

When general Chong flourished, the village often received frustrated heroes, or gave recommendations, retained, or subsidized money and grain. Now, looking at the door with peeling vermilion paint, there were luxuriant weeds and Brucea sparrows flying everywhere. It was obvious that Zhuang Zi had declined with the death of general Chong

"Uncle Zhou, where are the others here?"

"My family went with my husband. There are few people here."

Yue Pengju was anxious: "Uncle Zhou, I'm Yue Pengju. I came with my sister six years ago. Don't you recognize me?"

The old man found that he looked familiar and rubbed his eyes: "brother, have you grown up?"

He nodded and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Zhou, where is my sister?"

"You mean Miss Hua? She just went out and will be back in a moment."

"Where have you been?"

"Recently, the village is not peaceful, and bandits have invaded it. Miss Hua led the tenants to practice martial arts."

Yue Pengju was overjoyed and immediately said goodbye to his uncle and went to the martial arts field. When he was at home, he would practice martial arts in that field every day. Hua Rong had to practice there, so he must be there

After running in, I found that there were only a few sevenoreight people on the martial arts field. It seemed that they were finishing their practice, holding hoes and carrying poles, and went to work again

Then, he saw a slim man with strong clothes coming here, with blue scarves and double rings, green and low civilian and military boots, a bow, and a pot of arrows. When she was close, he saw that she had white teeth, red lips, handsome eyes, bent eyebrows into temples, and thin waist and shoulders

Hua Rong came all the way, but he saw a tall young man staring at him crazily without blinking. He thought, this man is so rude

I was about to turn sideways and leave, but I was overjoyed: "sister..."

This sound, how can not forget, so familiar

She stopped at once, but saw the man standing in front of her, with long eyebrows and Phoenix eyes, tall, broad chest, strong bones and tendons, and dignified appearance

The young man who used to be weak has become a man of authority

After a while, she laughed, her voice trembling with excitement: "Peng Ju, it's you!"

"Sister, it's me."

The two brothers and sisters simply answered this sentence. Although there were thousands of words, they didn't know where to start for a moment. After standing relatively for a while, Hua Rong smiled and said, "Why are you standing here? Go, go back with your sister."

Yue Peng answered, silently following her, full of joy

The setting sun pulled people's shadows long. Yue Peng raised his head and saw that her slender figure was covered by her tall shadow. The two figures overlapped and looked very close

"Sister, I wrote you a letter. Did you receive it?"

Hua Rong laughed, "I haven't been at home for most of the past twoorthree years. Plus the chaos of war, I've never received it."

Yue Pengju's eyes lit up. During his military career in recent years, from a small soldier to a Death Squadron captain, it goes without saying that he was hard and depressed. He had a little free time. He had sent a message to Hua Rong, but he had never received a word of reply. He was very worried about her, afraid that she would have any accident again

Now I know that she hasn't been at home for twoorthree years. No wonder she didn't receive it

After entering the door, Hua Rong was in a good mood. While pouring tea for Yue Peng, he looked at him: "you are so tall, hehe, how can you come back to see me this time?"

Yue Pengju briefly talked about the defeat of bandit Tao Jun. Hua Rong was overjoyed and found that the former youth had become not only a man, but also a hero

"Will you stay there for a long time?"

"Now there are frequent wars and years of scuffle in song, Jin and Liao dynasties. I heard that Xuanfu envoy recruited troops to fight the enemy and bandits. Let's stay and have a look."

"Hehe, it will be easy for us to meet."

Yue Peng raised but saw her hanging such a bow and inserting such an arrow. At a glance, he saw that her appearance had not changed in recent years, but there had been great changes in other aspects, especially the kind of gentle and slightly heroic eyes, such as a spring breeze

"Sister, you are exactly the same as when I left..."

"I've changed. Now I'm a hundred steps through the Yang."

Yue Pengju also laughed. His smile was completely sincere. Basically, he would believe anything Hua Rong said

"Hungry?"

"I'm really hungry."

"Sister, make you something delicious."

Zhou Bo is rambling about the meals. They are all ordinary meals, which are not the big fish and meat he used to grow at home six years ago Farmers have long declined The "delicious" made by Hua Rong himself is just a taste of fresh wild vegetables, and there is no meat

But Yue Pengju ate exceptionally sweet, as if he had the best meal in his life The window of the dining room was open, and the wind blew through the branches of the green poplar. The careful and gentle woman sitting opposite experienced this profound tranquility for the first time after many years of running, which was more violent than the joy of triumph It seemed that when he returned to the seaside, the day when the sister and brother picked up shells on the grass in the Bay, but he didn't mention it anymore, for fear of becoming the pain in her heart

She didn't want to recall that time, nor did he, but he remembered it, because it was there that he knew her

As soon as the two brothers and sisters finished eating, they suddenly heard a loud cry outside the door: "A Mei, a Mei..."

Yue Pengju remembered this rude voice and said happily, "is brother Lu back?"

"It's not him."

After the death of general Zhong, lutiha stayed in the Zhong family for quite a period of time until Xiao Zhong's husband and his family moved to the place where he took office During this period, Hua Rong not only got his advice on martial arts, but also got him to introduce a strange person by chance. His skill of riding and shooting was greatly improved, and finally he reached the position of wearing Yang with hundreds of steps

Get along with a long time, lutiha is very forthright and righteous, completely treated as her sister, a lot of care

The two brothers and sisters went out together. They saw lutiha stride in with a thick Zen stick. When they heard Yue Pengju call "brother Lu", they immediately recognized him and laughed: "good guy, now I see your sister, don't you cry?"

As soon as they met, they were exposed. Hua Rong finally defended her brother and said softly, "Peng Ju is a good man now, so he won't cry. By the way, brother Lu, have you got any news this time?"

Lutiha's face became cautious, and he sighed, "now the golden state is covetous. The ninth Lord was ordered by the imperial court to set up the Grand Marshal's mansion in Xiangzhou, and sent the Privy Deputy envoy Liu Hao to recruit volunteers among the people. SA Jia contacted some people, ready to take refuge in the ninth Lord, and fight against gold together..." he glanced at Yue Pengju, "good boy, do you want to go under the command of the ninth Lord?"

"I'll make a decision after I report to the governor."

"OK."

The three talked for a long time that night, and the court is now completely in a precarious state

Yue Peng raised his hand and said, "I'm afraid the iron cavalry of the kingdom of Jin will soon whip South..."

Hua Rong was surprised and said, "will it be so fast? Isn't song and Jin uniting to destroy Liao?"

"I participated in the joint attack on Yancheng. More than 100000 people of the song army besieged the dying Yanjing, but due to the lax military discipline, I was defeated by the Liao army and was defeated. Even the leading general, pharmacist Guo, later took refuge in the kingdom of Jin..."

In that battle, Yue Pengju and a few other officers and soldiers fought hard to escape That is, the so-called "uniting the Song Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty" saw through the weakness of the song army at a glance It is not strange for the tiger to find that Qian's donkey is just a giant with no fighting power. It rises and devours it

That night, they almost talked about the dawn. Hua Rong decided to go to the account of the ninth Lord with lutiha to see if he could do something. Yue Pengju wanted to go back today and make plans before meeting the Xuanfu envoy
