man sanctified in death row vest

Chapter 301 "Worthy of Heart"

The sun sets in the west.

Not long ago, there was a heavy snowfall, covered in silver, and the white snow covered the ground, looking like a piece of pure white paper.And on this white paper:
The scattered armor;
corpses pierced by spears, decapitated, and mutilated limbs;

Colorful intestines still warm;
dark red blood;
A hideous, deathly head;

Unknowingly, it became the embellishment of this blank paper.

It was originally a picture of white snow in the wilderness, but now it has become a picture of purgatory on earth.

In the snow, the barbarian cavalry, whose legs had been cut off and his chest was pierced, was dying and crawling silently on the snow, dragging a bloody road several feet long behind him, which was twisted and meandering.

call out!
Old Li stepped on the thick snow, stepped on the snow with ferocious eyes, raised the knife in his hand, and stabbed the barbarian's vest with one knife, piercing through his chest.

The barbarian twitched a few times and was completely silent.

"Whoo~"

Lao Li lifted Manzi's body away with his head and kicked it, and cut two knives on his neck with the blade, making sure that the Manzi cavalryman would not survive anymore. He shook the long knife expressionlessly, bent his forearm, and the bloody long knife was Pulling and pulling at the elbow socket... rustling!
After wiping off the dirty blood, Lao Li put his knife back into its sheath, turned and left.

Zheng Jiajun ran all the way, and finally arrived in front of Yala Suo Mountain.

Along the way, they were harassed by barbarian cavalry eleven times, and Zheng Haoran was assassinated by barbarian assassins 26 times.

Although these encounters and assassinations ended up with no danger.

But the purpose of the barbarians was not to use the harassment or assassination of Zheng Haoran by a small group of cavalry to completely wipe out the Northern Expeditionary Army.

"First, they wanted to delay our arrival at Yala Suo Mountain, and second, they wanted to tire us out on the march. Therefore, they did not hesitate to send thousands of dead soldiers to fight each other with death. They are so cruel."

Zheng Haoran also saw the opponent's plan.

In this way, he can be more sure that, just as the secret letter of the national teacher said, the wolf king has already arrived at the front and laid a net behind the canyon, intending to compete with Zheng Haoran in front of this crucial natural moat.

"Old Zheng, the situation is not good."

After confirming that the small group of cavalry had survived, Old Li Tou, the commander-in-chief, walked around the army with a gloomy expression and walked back to Zheng Haoran.Zheng Haoran didn't take off his armor, he sat silently on a stone, looking towards the army.

Old Li squatted down beside Zheng Haoran, took out the whetstone, and unsheathed the long knife.

Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Old Li caressed the blade of the knife, and brushed it on the whetstone, making rhythmic noises.

He sharpened his knife and said:

"More than 100 brothers caught wind and cold, and their high fever persisted, so it was difficult for them to go to battle."

"Sixteen brothers have frostbite on their feet. If they continue walking, their feet will be useless."

"Xiao Sun..." Old Li's voice was a little more choked, he gritted his teeth, and said something to Zheng Haoran in a low voice: "Do you still remember that young guy who was just in his early fifteenth and The little girl from the next village is engaged, and before going out, she even brags to her brothers that she will get married when she returns."

"The new gang leader, Xiaohua, that young bald man, who knows a little bit of fur medicine, treated them. The frostbite was gone. The bald guy scraped off Xiaosun's frostbite, and he Said he had scraped it before. Alas, it was bloody, and I saw white bones."

"When scraping...Xiao Sun was a man. He bit the soft armor and left a tooth hole on the soft armor. He almost bit through the soft armor. He didn't yell out, saying that he was afraid that Old Zheng would think He's a coward."

Zheng Haoran was silent for a moment, wiped off the snow scum on his face, and nodded: "I'll go and see him later."

"There are more than a dozen brothers, burning in a daze, talking nonsense, always saying that they saw something, fell into the water or something, opened and closed their eyes, lost their minds, and said After pushing a door, he said that he was walking on the green grassland."

Old Li Tou sharpened his saber until it shone brightly, got up and followed Zheng Haoran to walk around in the army.

Wounded and feverish soldiers lay on improvised sleds, dragged by horses.

The little grandson who had scraped off the frostbite fell into a deep sleep with a pale complexion, muttering "cuihua" from time to time.

Old Li added from the side: "His unmarried daughter-in-law is called Cuihua."

Not far away, a monk was carrying a cauldron and was washing the blood off his hands with melted snow.

Zheng Haoran didn't wake up Xiaosun, but walked towards the monk.

"You know medicine?"

"I understand a little." The monk clasped his hands together, a bit shy.

"That just so happens," Zheng Haoran patted the monk on the shoulder: "From today on, you are our military doctor."

"Ah?" The monk was also dumbfounded, but after thinking about it, he nodded in response, cupped his hands, and said loudly, "Yes! General Zheng!"

Zheng Haoran raised his fist towards the monk.

The monk seemed to have known Zheng Haoran's "eccentricity" for a long time, so he raised his fist and touched it vigorously.

boom!
There was a loud noise when the two fists collided.

Old Li's hair was blown a few strands, and he was stunned for a while.

Zheng Haoran stared, then laughed loudly: "Not bad!"

Military doctors who accompany the army mainly deal with trauma.

After General Zheng left, Old Li told the monk what the military doctor was going to do.

The monk took notes carefully and kept nodding.

In the end, Old Li did not forget to tell: "By the way, since you have become a military doctor, you don't have to rush ahead when you fight against the barbarians. The last military doctor is too brave."

Only then did the monk know that the last military doctor died in the charge.

After Old Li left.

Zheng Xiu, who was secretly listening to the conversation of a few people not far away, dragged the monk to a deserted place with an unfriendly expression.

"How do you know a little bit about medicine?"

The monk's eyes wandered, and he replied: "Young monk used to learn a little without a teacher in Yunliu Temple. Brother, look, didn't I heal my leg injury back then?"

"Are you cured?" Zheng Xiu slammed a critical blow on the monk's head, and said, "You have a special physique, and your legs have grown flesh!"

The monk chuckled and said, "But the little monk can't just ignore death."

Zheng Xiu pursed his lips and asked back, "Did you forget what I said?"

The monk shook his head: "I haven't forgotten." As he said that, he smiled slightly, put his hands together, and said calmly, "Brother Zheng, do you still remember what happened when we stopped in Jingtang Town?"

Zheng Xiu frowned: "What matter?"

The monk smiled and said:

"The people of Jingtang Town suffer from the century-old insect. Since ancient times, they have burned pregnant women to cure 'cotton slough'."

"Later, because the little monk was ignorant of the world, he intervened hastily, causing more pregnant women to die."

"The little monk felt very guilty."

"Brother, you said something at that time, which made the little monk Mao Sai suddenly understand."

"Brother, you said, good and evil are indistinguishable, and black and white are difficult to distinguish. The little monk did something wrong."

"My little monk blames himself. If you scold me, if you are wrong, you are wrong."

"But you finally said,"

The monk's eyes were clear and innocent, and he looked at Zheng Xiu sparklingly: "You only need to have a clear heart."

Zheng Xiu was stunned.

He never expected that the monk would remember what he said casually to this day.

……

Zheng Haoran ordered someone to count the military supplies.

With the rest of the food, and going out to hunt wild game to satisfy our hunger, we can barely last ten days.

Zheng's army camped at the foot of Yala Suo Mountain and rested overnight.

The next morning.

A crow with blood-red eyes flew from the south and circled endlessly around the camp of Zheng's army.

"It's a raven."

Zheng Xiu didn't close his eyes all night, he stood up vigilantly, stared at the familiar raven and moved his fingers, almost couldn't hold back and shot the raven down.

The raven hovered in the sky for a while, and finally landed in Zheng Haoran's hands.

Old Li rubbed his bloodshot eyes, his tired expression suddenly lifted: "Here comes the news!"

He turned his head and saw Zheng Xiu's vigilant expression, and patted Zheng Xiu's shoulder: "Don't make a fuss, it's a letter crow raised by the National Teacher to convey military information."

Zheng Xiu nodded silently, followed Old Li and walked towards Zheng Haoran.

Old Li Tou wanted to say that this kind of military secrets is something that a small soldier like you can mix in, but he saw Zheng Haoran waving at Zheng Xiu and Old Li Tou from a distance.

Zheng Haoran couldn't hide his joy on his face.

The military information conveyed by the raven is impressively good news.

Because Zheng Haoran led the army to march north and went deep into the hinterland of the northern barbarians, it really made the wolf king feel like he was facing a big enemy. He was afraid that when he led the army to fight, his hometown would be taken away by Zheng Haoran.After getting the news, he led an army of ten thousand without saying a word, and rushed back to the rear to defend.

The wolf king took away the ten thousand army in one go, and the remaining main battle lines were empty. The other generals guarding the frontier regained the lost land in a short period of time, and even drove the invading northern barbarians out of the border. outside.

At the end of the secret letter, there is a small roll as thick as a pinky finger, which is dyed yellow all over and sealed with wax paint.

"The holy decree."

Seeing Zheng Haoran taking out the emperor's secret decree from the letter tube, Old Li consciously wanted to avoid suspicion, so he took a few steps back.

Zheng Xiu moved his head forward.

"you!"

Old Li couldn't wait to slap this ignorant boy unconscious, the emperor's secret decree, can anyone just read it?
"No problem!"

Zheng Haoran glanced at Zheng Xiu, and waved his hands carelessly: "Anyway, no outsiders saw it."

Old Li thought it was the same reason, and put his head together.

On the emperor's secret decree, only four words were written.

Zheng Xiu was angry: "Fuck!"

Old Li's lips trembled.

Zheng Haoran tore up the imperial decree silently.

Four words: vow to kill the wolf king.

"Wei Yangzun!"

Zheng Xiu squeezed out Wei Yangzun's name from the gap between his teeth almost with the force of gnashing his teeth.

Old Li sat down on the snow, muttering to himself: "I just said, the emperor's secret decree should not be read..."

Wei Yangzun should have returned to the palace.

The message he sent this secret decree was very clear: Zheng Haoran was like a magnet at this moment, his reputation for bravery attracted the main force of the northern barbarians away, and eased the pressure on the entire front.

As the king of the northern barbarians, the wolf king's killing the wolf king is self-evident.And at this moment, the wolf king unexpectedly had the intention of confronting Zheng Haoran. After learning about this, Wei Yangzun wanted to push the boat forward and let Zheng Haoran find a way to kill the wolf king.

Once the Wolf King dies, according to common sense, the Northern Man will fall into clan infighting, and the several major clans will be busy competing for the throne of the Wolf King, and will have no time to worry about intruding Dagan.

The past, the words Wei Yangzun once said came to mind bit by bit.Zheng Xiu confirmed the history and what he saw with his own eyes one by one, and quickly deduced the real reason for Zheng Haoran's death in battle.

Holy decree!

Had to from!

A complex emotion welled up in my heart, anger, helplessness, bewilderment, mixed together.Wei Yangzun has taken care of Zheng Xiu a lot in these years, and he is indebted to the Zheng family.However, when Zheng Xiu saw this secret decree, what he thought more about was that Wei Yangzun was ashamed of Zheng Xiu because he ordered Zheng Haoran to smash the Wolf King to death, which indirectly led to the decline of the Wolf King. A pair of orphans are taken care of in every possible way.

In the silence, a fist was silently raised in front of Zheng Xiu.

It was Zheng Haoran's fist.

"come."

Zheng Haoran shook his fist with a smile.

Zheng Xiu looked at the calloused fist and couldn't help but touch it.

Zheng Haoran didn't say anything more, and ordered the whole army to rest for two days and enter the valley tomorrow.

After camping.

Not long after, the sound of guns being sharpened came from Zheng Haoran's barracks.

And these two days.

Several strange things happened.

There were several soldiers with chilblains, and the chilblains on their feet had dissipated a lot with the naked eye. Not to mention they were alive and kicking, at least they were able to walk.

Half of the soldiers who contracted the wind and cold had their high fever subsided on the first night, and their eyes were clear.

They said that they had a dream. They dreamed of a winding path. Some said it was on the mountain, some said it was in the forest, some said it was too dark to see clearly, and some said it was in the woods. This road is covered with thorns. Some people say that this road is the sharpest of swords and guns. The scenery is different and different.

The only thing they have in common is that they walked the road and dreamed that they opened a door.

And then woke up.

When Zheng Xiu learned of this, he was a little surprised for a moment, then he took it for granted.

In the Zheng family's army, many people saw the door under various conditions and hardships, and pushed open the door!
Some people think that they have infinite strength, some people think that they have sharp eyes and ears, and when some people wield their swords, a faint white light appears on the blades.

More people have initially awakened thaumaturgy without knowing it.

After Zheng Haoran learned about this, he laughed three times.

It was quickly spread in the army that General Zheng Haoran's persistence and perseverance moved the heavens, and a miracle happened, and the army shouted "God bless the work".

Some are happy and some are sad.

After scraping off the frostbite, Xiao Sun still couldn't get over it, and died in the military tent the next morning.

Beside the corpse, he wrote two words in crooked characters: Cuihua.

Zheng Haoran put away Xiao Sun's military badge, put it close to his body, buried his body and erected a monument.

Everyone in the army knew that they would enter the valley the next morning.

Zheng Xiu didn't sleep that night, he always felt that something was going to happen.

Because the moon is full tonight.

The bright moonlight is shining, and there is no cloud in the sky.

A burly figure like a beast, with a huge bow on its back, landed on all fours on the other side of Yala Suo Mountain, and climbed up to the top of the mountain nimbly.

He looked down from the top of the mountain, looked outside the canyon, at the Zheng family army barracks stationed at the foot of the mountain, with a sneer on his face.

The figure slowly put the longbow on the ground, and took out a four-foot-long giant arrow from behind.

Rather than talking about arrows, it is more appropriate to say "spear".

The figure put the spear on the giant bow, and drew it full little by little.

collapse!collapse!collapse!
Every time the bowstring was tensed, the giant bow would make a terrible sound, as if it would break at any moment.

The pupils of the figure were faintly shining, and densely packed dots were reflected in the depths of his pupils, like a candle flame.

He aimed at the hottest point of light, and the spear shot out.

call out!
That was Zheng Haoran's military tent.

With a loud noise like thunder, the spear shot at the army tent.

Boom!

The sound was like thunder on the ground.

In the darkness, Zheng Xiu suddenly opened his eyes and flew up.

Another figure floated out of the shadows, took off the gloves, and slapped the Spiral Arrow Spear with one palm.

Feng Bei and Zheng Xiu acted at the same time to protect Zheng Haoran as if they had a good understanding.
