After their own poisoning, the simple villagers took out the only remaining rice and even rice seeds in their homes to ensure that they ate well, and the grandfather and grandson of Zhang Laohan were even more unclothed and served wholeheartedly, but their hungry stomachs screamed but did not touch a bite of the food given to them by the villagers......

Even if he was alone, he would not hesitate to rush back to protect those kind villagers.

The four soldiers said no, their heads shook like rattles, the more they wanted to leave the danger as soon as possible, but Liu Qi blocked the way and became more and more anxious, a soldier saw that the fire behind him was spreading, and a few of them were getting closer and closer to this side, and he was no longer patient, and shouted: "If you want to die, just go yourself, don't worry about grandpa!" ”

As soon as Liu Qi was pushed away, the four of them were about to escape, Liu Qi stubbornly crossed in front of them, with a bow and arrows in his hand, and shouted: "Whoever dares to escape from the battle, don't blame Lao Tzu for piercing his transparent hole with an arrow!" ”

Oh, the four of them were also anxious, and they all pulled out their sabers to confront Liu Qi and a few villagers, while Yu Ji looked at them coldly in front of Liu Qi.

"Li Fu, don't be presumptuous!" Gao Hong came from behind and shouted.

Liu Qi was shocked to find that Gao Hong had not followed just now, and his heart was cold: he was too naïve, the ancients were also people, not puppets, where would they let others manipulate, and the things that can change people with death in a few words can only happen in movies and novels.

Gao Hong was indeed shaken, facing a life-and-death decision, and his previous rhetoric seemed so weak. There are only more than ten people on their side, but they have to face more than 100 thieves, there are no eyes on the battlefield, and once they fall into the chaos, no matter how strong their martial arts are, it is difficult to protect their own integrity. And he fought with the thieves several times, knowing that although the thieves were in mutilated armor, they were fierce and not afraid of death, and their combat power was not bad.

But he didn't want to watch Liu Qi go to death, so Gao Hong had to chase after him and prepare to intercept him and persuade him. Stopped his subordinates, pulled Liu Qi aside and whispered: "There are many thieves, you and I are few and cannot be defeated, if there is no good plan to save the people in the village, you will be in danger, don't be rash!" ”

Liu Qi was very anxious in his heart, but he also knew that what Gao Hong said was the truth, so he forced himself to calm down, and if he didn't say anything about Gao Hong, his soldiers would naturally not help, and he had to fool Gao Hong first.

"Although the thieves are numerous, they have been broken by the officers and soldiers, and they are terrified, and they have fled for days, exhausted, if you and I take a detour to kill the thieves from the way the thieves came, and then make people blempty in the forest, the thieves think that the officials and soldiers will chase and flee. Can break through the encirclement of the official army and gather but not disperse, there must be a thief among the thieves, you and I will chase and kill, there will be something, this credit is given by God, brother must not take it! ”

After many years of fighting, in fact, I know in my heart that the thieves are false, but after all, the number of their own side is too small, there is no need to take this risk, but after hearing this, Gao Hong's heart moved, maybe it is really as Liu Qi said, there are important leaders who fled here, if they can be killed, it is indeed a great achievement, the previous Yan Tong entered and suppressed several times in vain, Zhao Wei has long been dissatisfied with him, this time Zhao Wei personally led the army, if he returned to the army with the head of the thief, see how Yan Tong hid my credit, and then the meritorious deeds may be promoted to the captain, hum, you don't have to suffer the humiliation of the villain.

Gao Hongzu has migrated from Huainan Chengde to settle in Quren for more than 30 years, and now he has a family and a business, and he is really reluctant to move to another place.

Immediately decided, Gao Hong decided to give it a try, and said to his subordinates with righteous words: "It is our duty to resist thieves and protect the people, and you will go with me to kill the enemy, and after the matter is completed, I will be rewarded." ”

Cheng Guan, who followed Gao Hong into the mountain during the day, and another named Wang Jun stood up and arched their hands: "I am willing to follow Sima to the death!" ”

Although the other five people were in awe of Gao Hong, they hesitated to agree when it came to life and death, Gao Hong couldn't help but get angry, his eyes widened, and his hand habitually rested on the hilt of the knife: "A certain person does not hesitate to die, what are you afraid of!" ”

"I'll wait...... I am willing to serve Sima. Gao Hong's aura was very sufficient, especially the moment when his hand pressed the handle of the knife, Li Fu and the other five people didn't dare to say more than half a word, and immediately expressed their position.

Gao Hong then arranged for everyone to go their separate ways, detouring to the direction of the thieves, a few villagers went to light a fire, Yu Ji had sneaked into the village and captured a thief, this person fled in embarrassment for several days, it was easy to get rid of the official army, and he was already exhausted when he fled to this place, but he didn't expect that he had just found a place to stay, and the official army was silently chased and killed, and the psychological defense line suddenly collapsed, and he kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy.

Gao Hong didn't have much effort to find out the situation of the thieves, and his heart was even more determined, and he waved his hand after the arrangement was completed: "Kill the thieves with me!" The first shouted and rushed out.

There is only one gravel path in the village, and in the courtyards of the houses on both sides of the path, the hungry and ragged thieves have just picked up a few mouthfuls of looted food, and are about to sleep well for a night, when they suddenly hear the sound of shouting and killing on the road, and run out to see that the stars are full of fire, thinking that the officers and soldiers are chasing after them, they are so frightened that they are frightened, and they flee to the outside of the village.

Liu Qi followed Gao Hong into the village, and every time he entered the courtyard, he saw villagers lying in pools of blood, and the cruel bandits did not leave a single living mouth, not even the children.

Liu Qi was already in tears at this time, helplessly shouting the names of the children and the old people in every familiar room, but he didn't get a response, Yu Ji followed closely beside him, and the tragedy in front of him made the corners of Yu Ji's eyes moist after all the vicissitudes of life.

In the middle of the village, Zhang Ping's house, holding Zhang Ping's father, Liu Qi couldn't cry, Zhang's father was not dead, but he was deeply slashed in the chest, deep to the bones, and he couldn't see that he was alive, he said in a weak voice: "Ah Ping is in Ling'er's house, ask the immortals to save him quickly!" ”

Liu Qi nodded with tears in his eyes, gritted his teeth and let go of Zhang's father, and rushed towards Zhang Laohan's house.

Gao Hong led his subordinates to flee north with the thieves, it was dark and there was no way, the thieves had to light the torches, under the light, Gao Hong saw more than a dozen thieves embracing a thief in a red robe, and he was overjoyed, there were really big fish! Immediately catch up.

From time to time, the thieves suddenly appeared from the darkness, Yu Ji also hated the thieves for being cruel, and they started to kill, and they encountered a group of more than a dozen thieves and delayed for a while, and they disappeared Liu Qi, Yu Ji rarely went out in the village except for the diagnosis and treatment of the wounded, far from Liu Qi's familiarity with the road, and the moonlight was dim, and it was difficult to see, so he couldn't catch up with him for a while.

When approaching Zhang Laohan's house, he suddenly heard Liu Qi's roar, Yu Ji's heart sank, and he quickly quickened his pace, but when he arrived, he saw Zhang Laohan lying in the courtyard, already dead.

I couldn't bear to see this tragic scene when I lowered my head, but after entering the house, I found that there was still no trace of Liu Qi, Yu Ji suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and faintly heard the sound of shouting and killing in the distance, so he was busy listening to it, and finally recognized Liu Qi's voice and hurriedly rushed away.

The thieves entered the village to grab food and kill people everywhere, and did not go straight to the east of the village where Zhang Laohan's house was located, and when they found that the officials and soldiers were chasing, the thieves instinctively fled in the opposite direction, that is, the north of the village, and only Zhao Quan, the leader of the thieves, took a few henchmen to the east.

Zhao Quan is the son of Zhao Yi of the sonic shock Yizhou, Emperor Ling Zhongping five years, the yellow turban thief Ma Xiang, Zhao Yi from Mianzhu to raise troops, the most troops have more than 100,000 people, broke through Ba County, Shu County, Qianwei three counties, Ma Xiang called himself the Son of Heaven, Zhao Yuan was the general, and was later engaged in Yizhou Jia Long broken, and was separated by Liu Yan, the thieves collapsed, Ma Xiang, Zhao Yuan died in the chaos of the army, Zhao Quan is Zhao Yuan's second son, tall and powerful, fierce no less than his father, his father and brother were elected by the remnants of the army after the death of the soldiers, hidden in Guling County Fuming Mountain for thieves.

Fuming Mountain is high and dense, the terrain is dangerous, the county has not succeeded in several requisitions, but there are few thieves, one less to die, repeated consumption finally can't stand it, the day before yesterday was broken through the camp by the official army, the remaining thieves protected Zhao Quan to break through the siege, fled to the east, all the counties are begging for thieves, Yizhou is no longer able to stay, I heard that the people of Jingzhou are rich, Zhao Quan decided to temporarily avoid Jingzhou, in order to make a comeback in the future.

The hard-working camp was destroyed, and it was hunted down for several days, and now there are only a few or more people left around more than a thousand of his subordinates, Zhao Quan is angry in his heart, but he sprinkled his anger on the innocent villagers, and even ordered the slaughter of all living creatures in the village.

Unexpectedly, before a moment of respite, the official army came to cover up again, seeing that the thieves fled in panic, Zhao Quan could not retract, so he had to take a few henchmen to identify the direction and flee towards the east of the village. Along the way, he did not forget to kill people and steal food, and when he arrived at a family at the edge of the village, he took a lot of meat and killed an old man, but a young man and a girl escaped, and it was difficult to identify the road in the night, so Zhao Quan went to catch the young man to lead the way.

Liu Qi rushed to Zhang Laohan's house desperately, and he didn't even notice that he was separated from Yu Ji, but he didn't expect to save Zhang Laohan, the old man at the time of his death raised his finger with difficulty and pointed to the direction where Zhang Ping and Zhang Ling fled, his lips trembled and closed, Liu Qi passed with tears in his ears, and the old man couldn't say a complete word, just repeatedly called his granddaughter's name.

The old man's eyes suddenly widened, revealing expectant eyes, and he grabbed Liu Qi's arm tightly.

It's a return to the light!

Liu Qi nodded heavily, and his tears could no longer be controlled, spilling on Zhang Laohan's face.

"Don't worry, Zhang Gong, Ling'er will be my sister from now on!"

Zhang Laohan relaxed his hand with relief, hung down weakly, and his eyes quickly drifted.

Liu Qi could no longer suppress the grief and anger in his heart, gently put the old man down, looked up to the sky and roared, and ran towards the darkness.

Hearing the cry of children and the shouts of thieves in front of him, and then he saw the firelight, a group of children fishing by the stream met Zhang Ping who fled with Zhang Ling when they returned to the village, and they were at a loss to learn that the house was robbed by thieves.
