Xianyang Bridge

Chapter 36

Lu Li said, "I can't do anything with [-] imperial guards alone. The reason why the emperor wants to take Leijiazhuang is my Mingjiao. Gu Xichao is kind to my teacher. He is now trapped in Leijiazhuang. I don't think the leader will do it either." Indifferent, I have to go back and discuss with the leader about how to do it.”

After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, Tieshou said, "Envoy Lu Zuo wait for me a moment."

The lights in the ruthless room were still on, apparently waiting for him, and after less than a moment of Iron Hands leaving, Lu Li saw him come back with a change of clothes, dressed for a long journey, and hurriedly said to him, "Let's go."

"Second Master Tie is...?" Lu Li asked without moving.

Tie Shou said, "It's not convenient for Shenhou's Mansion to come forward, so I'll just leave Shenhou's Mansion. That's what the senior brother sent me. I just went to return Ping Luan Jue."

Lu Li was quite shocked in his heart, and cupped his hands at him, "Second Master is chivalrous, I will teach you to thank Second Master on behalf of the Ming Dynasty."

The two crossed the river day and night and returned to Shenlong Bay. When they learned that Xiaoqi's life and death were uncertain, the emperor wanted to attack Leijiazhuang again. You don't have to worry, with me, you just do your best, life and death are fate, as long as you don't feel ashamed."

Then he said to Tie Shuo, "I'll go with you, Mr. Tie. If things don't work out, Mr. Tie can leave as soon as possible."

Tie Shou watched Lu Li go to gather the five-element flag, and said to the leader, "Imperial affairs belong to the imperial court, affairs of the Jianghu belong to the affairs of the rivers and lakes, I am not in the Shenhou Mansion now, I am just a person from the rivers and lakes, you are welcome, the leader, call me Tieyou Xiabian yes."

The leader nodded to him, "Iron Hero, please."

When Lu Li and Tie Shou took more than 30 people with the five elements flag to cross the Yellow River overnight, Guo Jing led 20 imperial troops and [-] imperial guards had already arrived outside Leijiazhuang. The family village is only [-] days old.

Looking at the suspension bridge and the deep valley in front of him, Guo Jing waved his hand and ordered people to set up a shelf in front of the formation, and nailed the captured Mingjiao youth to it, saying, "Go to the village."

As soon as the troops from the Forbidden Army Brigade entered Leijiazhuang, Qi Shaoshang knew it. Brother Lei Ting was in charge of patrolling the village today. Lei Ting asked Lei Zhen to go to Qi Shaoshang, "Tell Big Brother that there are many people from the government outside."

When the imperial army on the other side of the suspension bridge set up a shelf, Qi Shaoshang and Mu Jiuping had already climbed the city wall, and they couldn't see clearly from too far away. Mu Jiuping looked around and said, "What are these soldiers doing outside our village? They are tied up. Individual, who is it?"

Lei Yun stood beside Qi Shaoshang, watching the figure gradually turn pale. When Mu Jiuping was speaking, the young man suddenly rushed down to the top of the wall. Qi Shaoshang saw him rushing towards the bridge like lightning, and it was too late to stop him. Lei Yun stared at the opposite shelf, the young man above hung his head, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, "Xiaoqi...Xiaoqi..."

Lei Yun's voice trembled, he found the suspension bridge rope and wanted to untie it to save him, but Qi Shaoshang rushed over and restrained him, "Lei Yun, stop!"

Lei Yun's hands and feet were cold, and he said to Qi Shaoshang, "Brother, it's Xiaoqi, they arrested him, I'm going to save him."

Qi Shaoshang pressed him, "I know, I saw it, don't move, you go back, I'll save him."

He said to Lei Yun, "Get my sword, I will put the suspension bridge away after I pass, no matter what happens, don't tell Gu Xichao, don't let him come out."

Gu Xichao had a dream, dreaming that Wan Qing came to say goodbye to him, time passed so long, he almost forgot Wan Qing's appearance, but in this dream she was very clear, it was when they first met in the capital, He was performing on the street, Wan Qing was in a bad mood and walked up to him.

He still remembered the slight sadness in her brows and eyes that day, which made his heart move at the first sight.

But in the dream she was smiling, as beautiful and gentle as in the fantasy, she walked up to him and raised her hand to caress his face, and said softly, "Xi Chao, wake up, you are dreaming."

"Wan Qing..." He shook his head, feeling a little dazed, "I seem to have had a very long dream. I dreamed that you were gone. I dreamed that I did many things and killed many people. I dreamed of Qi Shaoshang. ..."

"I dreamed of him..." He looked at Wan Qing, Wan Qing said softly, "Xi Chao, you should wake up."

"I don't want to wake up. If I wake up, I'll have nothing." He stretched out his hand to touch her, Wan Qing stepped back to avoid his hand, and said, "Xi Chao, I'm leaving, you have to take good care of her from now on." Own."

After she finished speaking, her figure slowly dissipated like a shadow reflected in the water, Gu Xichao woke up startled and sat up, "Wan Qing!"

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't know whether he was awake or still in a dream for a while, until he called out to the outside and found that Qi Shaoshang still hadn't come back.

It has been two days, and Lei Yun said that he was going to make things for the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are many people in the village, so he needs to go for a few more days.

He didn't know if it was because of the dream just now, or his natural intuition, but he knew that something must have happened to Qi Shaoshang.

In the morning, when Lei Yun walked through the labyrinth to deliver his meals, he found him standing in the courtyard fully dressed and holding a sword. He heard his footsteps and asked, "Where is Qi Shaoshang?"

Lei Yun put down the food box, bit his mouth and wanted to leave, but Gu Xi stopped him with a move, Longquan sword shook out a section of the sword and laid it across his neck, and asked again, "Where is Qi Shaoshang?"

He seems to be very different today, Lei Yun was inexplicably afraid of him, opened his mouth and said, "Brother is not at home." He didn't speak every time he came these two days, his voice was so hoarse that even he was startled .

As soon as Gu Xichao heard his voice, he knew that something serious must have happened. Instead, he calmed down, slowly retracted his sword, and asked, "What happened? Tell me."

Lei Yun said in a hoarse voice, "Brother don't let me talk."

"Don't you say he's going to die," Gu Xichao said calmly to him, "Everyone in your Leijiazhuang is an old man, a woman, or a child. If you don't tell me, who else can save him? Mu Jiuping? Or you? "

"How do you know big brother..." Lei Yun blurted out, before he finished speaking, he found that his face suddenly changed, if the chill on his body had any substance, he shrank a little in the last half of the sentence, "He is trapped..."

"Who is he? Where is he? How long has he been?" Gu Xichao asked word by word, and Lei Yun held his breath, "Look at the armor and clothes, he's from the imperial army. I've seen the leader before. His name is Guo Jing. I When I met him, he was still a Tiqi man."

"They caught Xiaoqi," Lei Yun said, pursing his lips, his eyes flushed slightly, "Brother, go and save him, that Guo Jing and his men couldn't beat him, so he trapped him with a formation. Just outside the village, it has been two days."

"What formation?" Gu Xichao asked calmly.

Lei Yun held back the tears in his eyes, and said, "Mr. Niu said it was a Liuding Liujia formation, Brother Mu...Brother Mu thought that if Mr. Niu could recognize it, he would be able to break the formation. He and Mr. Niu wanted to rescue the eldest brother. trapped in it too."

"..." Gu Xichao finally asked, "How many of them are there?"

Lei Yun thought for a while and said, "Two to 3000 people, I haven't counted them carefully."

Gu Xichao sighed in his heart, and said to him, "Lei Yun, if you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, you must not be ambiguous. Even if you take risks, you must find out how many people are there. kill your companions."

Lei Yun was startled, not knowing what he meant by these words, but knowing that he meant it well, nodded and said, "I'll make a note of it."

"Okay," Gu Xichao said, "Are you afraid of death?"

Lei Yun shook his head, "I'm not afraid."

"Take me to him, tell me what you saw, and we will save your elder brother." Gu Xichao said.

"But..." Lei Yun hesitated, Gu Xichao understood why he was hesitating, and said, "Are you worried that my appearance will bring danger to Lei's Village?"

Lei Yun was conflicted in his heart, Big Brother and Xiao Qi were outside, Big Brother Mu and Mr. Niu were also outside, if he was alone, even if he died, he would not hesitate to save others, but he was not, Big Brother and Big Brother Mu went away All the time, he told him to take good care of his family. Now he is the only one who can rely on Leijiazhuang, and he dare not risk the lives of the whole village.

"Don't you understand?" Gu Xichao said, "When Guo Jing trapped Qi Shaoshang with the Liuding Liujia array, there was no other way for Leijiazhuang to go. He was teasing Qi Shaoshang. It's just for his life. If thousands of troops step over, any master will have a dead end. If he didn't do this, the formation would not hurt Qi Shaoshang, but it would only consume his energy and strength. When he can't hold on anymore, Guo Jing will naturally retreat and kill him slowly, appreciating how he died under his own claws like a cat catching a mouse."

"He must rely on something if he dares to do this. When he chose to tear himself apart with Qi Shaoshang, he had already treated everyone in Leijiazhuang as a dead person. I can't go out or show my face. Is Leijiazhuang hiding someone? There is no difference between the prisoner and the prisoner, he already has Xiaoqi in his hand, that's enough."

When he said it clearly, Lei Yun was startled when he heard him ask, "Did Qi Shaoshang and Guo Jing have a festival before?"

The young man remembered that when he and Qi Shaoshang intervened in Tiqi to search Qingyuan and rescued Lin Qing and Lin Qian from Guo Jing when he was in Ruyin County, he said to Gu Xichao, "It was that time in Ruyin County, except this time The elder brother has never met him." He said the story again.

Gu Xichao said, "Understood, blocking someone's future is like killing one's parents. Now that Guo Jing is in power, he may have already set his sights on Leijiazhuang. Even without Xiao Qi, he would not let Qi Shaoshang go. He wants Qi Shao If Shang died, he wouldn't keep the Lei Family Village, this is called cutting grass and roots, Lei Yun, do you understand?"

He lowered his head slightly to Lei Yun, speaking earnestly, the young man looked at him, "I see, I'll take you there."

"Do you want me to help you?" Thinking that his eyes were still blind because of himself, Lei Yun didn't dare to look at him, and asked in a low voice.

"No, just lead the way, I can follow
