Chapter 50: Scooping Up the Body

"Brother, is Xiang Sanqiu dead?"

"I watched his boat explode, and then the water was so chaotic that I couldn't see clearly. Anyway, the things that floated like people were at least one arrow. Many of the corpses had been dragged into the bottom of the river by the armor on their bodies, and it seemed that they had to find out if he was dead or not. ”

When Liu Cheng heard this, he immediately took the reins.

"Brother, we can't go. Do you know how important this corpse is? Aren't you afraid that the rebels will come and rob the corpse at night? ”

Yun Xiao suddenly understood, yes. This corpse was extremely important to the rebels and to the imperial court.

"Batu, you go back with the wounded first, and let Thirteen come quickly with the contents of the cellar."

"No"

Batu had to take advantage of the importance of the matter, and immediately sent two unwounded Hun men Pegasus to Jiangdu to transfer troops.

As soon as the centaurs turned back, they saw a fiery dragon winding towards the river. The speed was very fast, but it didn't seem to have many cavalry involved.

"Put out your torches and shoot where they are."

Yun Xiao immediately ordered everyone to extinguish the torches, and the black-armored Hun knights in the darkness completely blended into the background. Liu Cheng was busy undressing off his Han armor and only wore the black clothes inside.

The ground was all burned reed gray, and black was the most natural protective color, which was much more effective than the protection of Han Jia. The whole team seemed to disappear from the sight of the rebel soldiers.

The iron-tired crossbows were fired at the dense area of torches, and many of them fell to the ground. A group of people by the river turned on their backs, and Yun Xiao scattered the team very widely, and more than a hundred people surrounded the rebels by the river in a semi-arc.

The rebels were in disarray. Crossbow arrows were fired in all directions in the darkness. And it's so accurate, there's no torch in the dark as a good target.

"Extinguish the torch."

The captain who led the army was also a veteran. He quickly reacted, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to extinguish the torches. The soldiers threw torches into the river. The burning flame met the icy water, and in an instant it was extinguished and darkness was restored to the river.

"Sword-and-shield hand, sword-and-shield hand come to the front."

No sooner had the shield wall of the sword and shield hand been erected than the sound of tearing cloth could be heard in the distance. A thick javelin was fired, and the three-layer sword and shield men in the front row were immediately pierced through a few bloody alleys. The great inertia flew directly into the river with a sword and shield hand.

"It's a pity, the gunpowder crossbow is all released, otherwise it is best to use it at this time."

"You dare to keep the gunpowder crossbow by your side in an environment surrounded by fire, you are tired of being crooked."

Dai Yu reprimanded an iron guard who was sighing. Seeing the power of the gunpowder crossbow, he admired Yun Xiao's decision to throw the gunpowder crossbow indiscriminately.

The tremendous power of the three-bow bed crossbow completely shook the rebels, and the crossbow arrows whizzed in the darkness. They didn't know how many people had come. The soldiers by the river began to be confused.

The captain who led the "withdrawal" was also a cautious person, and did not blindly let his subordinates attack in the dark. You can see the situation clearly after dawn, so you don't have to rush it. There is a ninety percent chance that General Xiang will hang up, so he has to let the general soak in the river for another night.

The rebel soldiers quickly retreated.

Yun Xiao did not organize a cover-up, but only sent rangers to constantly harass the retreating rebels.

The riverside was silent for a while, and the cold winter night was particularly difficult. I didn't feel nervous when I was fighting just now, but I stopped. The sweat on my body quickly cooled, and it felt like the whole person had been thrown into an ice cellar. Everyone was trembling, but they didn't dare to start a fire. The fate of the rebels just now is in sight. No one would dare to make such a fatal mistake.

The people of the Yun family were even more bitter at this time, the hard armor prevented people from approaching, and they couldn't even huddle together to keep warm. The cold wind poured into the gap in the armor, taking away the heat of the human body at a trace. Everyone was cursing at God.

"It can't go on like this, although the bones are strong. But if you freeze overnight, you will freeze badly, so you have to find a way to fight tomorrow. ”

Yun Xiao froze in place. He's also freezing and hungry now. I only ate a piece of beef wrapped in oiled paper all day today, and now my stomach is growling with hunger. Beef jerky has lost too much in Yueyang. Otherwise, it will be a comfortable thing to chew a few at this time.

"Holy damn thief, it's so cold just November."

Liu Cheng also jumped to his feet and scolded. This is the exercise of the Yunxiao Sect, and it will feel much warmer at once.

"Set aside the sentry and change it every half an hour. The rest of the people got into the cart. Cover it with a canvas and squeeze it, and hold on. There may be spies lurking in the dark, and our life fire will not only reveal our location. They will also guess how many of us are from the number of our fires, and if they don't want to kill them, they will pounce on us. We're going to be terrible. ”

Yun Xiao never thought that he could sleep on such a night, but today he actually fell asleep in such harsh conditions.

When I woke up in the morning, my head was groggy. I touched my forehead and it was a little hot, but it didn't seem to be a fever. When I was learning to survive in the wild, I learned that you should never sleep outdoors on winter nights, as it is easy to catch a cold.

"Ah Na" sneezed hard, and the light snot like water flowed down. Yun Xiao's heart was broken, and he caught a cold at this critical time. My throat was burning and painful, and it was extremely difficult to swallow a mouthful of saliva. I couldn't stand up trembling, so I could only lean on the cart.

Dai Yu found out that Yun Xiao was wrong, and hurriedly called Liu Cheng.

"Brother, what's wrong with you."

Liu Cheng, the rammer, actually held Yun Xiao's shoulder and shook it, and Yun Xiao, who was already very dizzy, was even more dizzy now.

"Don't shake it, I'll die if I shake it again. Did Thirteen come, send someone to find a way to get a pot, and then get some ginger to cook some ginger soup for everyone to drink. Otherwise, it would be miserable like me, and it would make people stew a spoonful. I don't want to take you to the underworld to fight with Xiang Sanqiu. ”

Obviously, this topic is not funny at all, and Liu Cheng is busy conveying Yun Xiao's instructions. While beckoning people, he took down all the felts on the cart and spread them under Yun Xiao.

Bidding farewell to the hard carriage board, Yun Xiao felt much more comfortable. The rising sun also gives everyone a hint of warmth, although it is only psychological. Liu Cheng's subordinates are very capable, but they don't know where to get an iron pot. There was also a large bag of ginger, cut down a few small trees, built a stove, took the river water, and boiled it.

After drinking a large bowl of ginger, Yun Xiao fell asleep in a daze. In the dream, there is no wife in the future, a son, and a father and mother. But I dreamed that Luan Ling was holding a white and tender baby, which must be her eldest daughter. The appearance was very blurry, Yun Xiao rubbed his eyes vigorously, but he still couldn't see clearly. was about to open it more clearly, and found that it was the queen mother who was holding the child, the white and tender doll had grown up a lot, and the grandmother was Liu Xiaozhu.

A large crowd of courtiers was bowing down to these two men, as if they were flying in the air. What's going on, is it that I am dead. Seeing Liu Qi, he was flying in the air like himself. Next to him was half of his body, and Yun Xiao was about to step forward to say hello. Xiang Sanqiu was carrying a sword, and rushed towards him with fire in his mouth, with a desperate posture, trying to run but being dragged by something.

When I looked down, it was actually Dou Ying with a smile on his face. This guy doesn't seem to be mixing well, and his body is gone, and only one head is left. Seeing that the sword with the blue karmic fire was about to fall on his head, Yun Xiao suddenly felt the mountains shake, as if the heavens and the earth were about to collapse.

opened his eyes with difficulty, it was Liu Cheng's nasty face. However, he seemed to be unusually excited, and his facial features were slightly distorted when he smiled. Damn, Lao Tzu has a cold, and he even bothers him from a coma. It's not human, isn't it?

"Brother, it's fished out. Fished out. ”

Liu Cheng danced with his hands, and Dai Yu walked to the river with the vague Yunxiao. Surrounded by black-armored iron guards, the river was already surrounded by the villagers, and several small boats were wandering in the river. There were a large pile of corpses on the shore, dozens of them, and it seemed that they were all rebel soldiers who had been fished out.

Xiang Sanqiu lay quietly on the river beach, and the water was still dripping under him. Except for his pale face like paper, it was almost as if he was asleep. What surprised Yun Xiao was that this guy was exactly the same as what he dreamed. Even the hair ornament and beard are the same, and the saber at his waist resembles the one he held in his dream with blue karmic fire.

Yun Xiao was sure that he hadn't looked at Xiang Sanqiu carefully, and the so-called meeting had never been closer than a thousand steps. Why did I actually dream of him, this is too supernatural. If it was the next generation, Yun Xiao really wanted to go to Wu Banxian to calculate.

"This guy is Xiang Sanqiu?"

Yun Xiao asked Dai Yu beside him, he had dealt with Xiang Sanqiu for many years, and he would not admit his mistake.

"It's him, that's right, I recognized him when I caught it, this saber was once worn by King Wu, and Xiang Sanqiu never left his body."

Maybe it's because of the soaking in the water for a day and a night, the skin is a little saggy. It looked a lot like the skin of a crystal elbow, and Yun Xiao was a little disgusting. He turned around and walked back, walking in a hurry and almost falling under his feet.

Dai Yu and Zhang Shisanyi supported each other left and right, and Yun Xiao vomited heavily. No food is sour. I haven't eaten for a day and a night, and it's strange to be able to spit things out. There seemed to be a lot of water in my stomach, and I vomited so much that it spurted out of my nose. I don't know how much ginger soup these killers fed to me when I was unconscious, anyway, now my nose is spicy. Tears and snot flowed uncontrollably.

Everyone was amazed at Hou Ye's reaction, and Hou Ye would cry when he saw Xiang Sanqiu's corpse. The killers were puzzled and looked at Liu Cheng.

The thing thought for a long time, and then squeezed out a sentence with his beard in his beard. "Know heroes, value heroes. Sorry for each other. ”

Your sister, Lao Tzu is spicy by ginger soup. (To be continued......)
