After transmigrating into the villain's daughter, I lie down and win

Chapter 779 The whole family is a rebel (63)

Yu County.

In the pitch-black mountain, several figures dressed in black kept shuttling between the shadows of the trees. If someone hadn't spoken something, revealing a mouthful of not-so-black teeth, they would have almost blended into the night.

Suddenly, a voice came from the shadows, "Ah Hu."

There were figures gathering not far away. After a while, a mighty and majestic figure came up to him and called out, "Brother".

"Ao" responded and asked, "Is Pingke back?"

Ah Hu shook his head, "No, I and the brothers have been waiting for a long time, but we still haven't seen him. Brother, is he afraid and doesn't dare to go with us?"

Another person echoed, "That Ping is different from the homeless people like us. He has parents and relatives. Is he really willing to give up his home to join us? Put his family in danger?"

Another person said worriedly, "Is he regretting his decision? Will he report us to the authorities?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the countless dark shadows intertwining in the woods suddenly became restless.

From the time they decided to rebel until now, too many of them have died; some starved to death, some froze to death, some died of disease, some were killed by officials, and some were so indecisive that they were afraid of being implicated that they frightened themselves to death.

The most hateful thing was the traitor who wanted to report them to the government. He was beaten to death after being discovered by everyone.

If "Ping" is really a traitor, then they will make him pay the price even if they die!

Suddenly, a shout interrupted everyone's conversation.

"Shut up!"

It’s Ao.

He stood up, looked at everyone with a stern look, and then cursed in a low voice: "If Ping is really a coward, why would he risk his life and death to lead the way for us and help us avoid the pursuit of the officials?"

It was like a basin of cold water poured over one's head.

The restless black shadow suddenly quieted down.

Yes.

If Ping was really afraid of death and wanted to report them to get rewards from the government, why should he save them and help them survive?
Wouldn't it be better for him to just shout "Bandits are here" to attract the attention of the garrison and claim credit and reward directly?

But, since Ping didn't betray, why didn't he come after the agreed time?
You know, the longer they stay here, the greater the risk of being caught up by the court's lackeys, and the more likely it is that their entire army will be wiped out!

Just as everyone was wondering why "Ping" broke his promise and feeling uneasy, a spark finally ignited in the woods in the distance.

Someone with better eyesight immediately noticed the movement on the other side and hurriedly told Ao about his discovery.

After hearing this, Ah Hu said anxiously, "Brother, those torches, could it be that the government has caught up with us?"

Ao stared at it for a moment, then remembered something. He suddenly ordered, "Everyone, leave here immediately and continue northward!"

From the beginning of the uprising, it was Ao who had been leading them, and Ao's judgment was very accurate, and he was able to lead them out of danger every time.

Therefore, when Ao gave the order again, although everyone was confused, they chose to obey without any hesitation. Three or five of them dispersed together and left the mountain as quickly as possible.

A few days later.

When Ah Hu, who had gotten separated from the others, finally found Ao Shi who was leading the large group, he received some news that made them all very sad.

"What did you say? Ping... is dead?"

Ah Hu's face was full of disbelief, and the others who had survived the government's hunt also looked surprised.

Ping, why did he die?
Ao looked sad and didn't say a word.

A person behind him explained: "Ping did not betray us. That day, it was he who used the torch to signal us where the danger was. That's how we were able to escape from the government's encirclement. However, Ping was captured by the government because of this..."

At this point, his voice choked and he could no longer continue.

Everyone already knew what happened to Ping, and although they were saddened, they still wanted to know how he died.

After a long while, someone said in a wailing voice, "It was torn apart by a chariot!" Everyone looked up suddenly with horror on their faces.

"Cut apart by a car?"

This is a punishment that makes people shudder just by hearing the name.

And "Ping", the hero who saved them twice, was the first person they knew to be torn apart by chariot, but he would definitely not be the last.

Ao stood on the hill, took off the water bag from his waist, used the water instead of wine, bowed deeply towards the distance, and then poured it into the ground under his feet.

Soon, the sadness on his face disappeared, replaced by an icy cold indifference.

He bowed to everyone and said, "Ping died so that we could survive. I swear here that I will never let Ping die in vain!"

Ah Hu took the lead and started shouting. There was cold hatred on everyone's face, which was firm and terrifying.

"I will never let anyone die in vain!"

"We must not let him die in vain!"

After everyone calmed down a little, Ao Cai continued, "The government's pursuers are getting closer and closer to us. We can't stay here any longer. We have to leave here overnight without leaving anything useless behind."

Ah Hu was confused again. "Brother, I heard there is a saying that goes 'All under heaven belongs to the king'. The world is so big, where is the place for us to stay?"

Everyone looked at Ao.

Yes.

Where is our way out?

Ao didn't say anything, but his bleeding hand pointed to the north.

"Someone told me that if we keep going north, there will be a way for us to survive."

……

Northland.

Xiao Buyi had just finished reviewing the official documents that had accumulated in recent days when a young man dressed in scholar's clothes hurried into the room.

"Eldest son."

Xiao Buyi was about to scold him, thinking that some ignorant servant had intruded, but when he saw that the person was Chen Sui, his frown relaxed a little.

"What's the matter?"

After Chen Sui finished his greetings, he hurriedly said, "Master, the teacher has sent a letter!"

After saying this, Xiao Buyi raised his eyebrows, and when Chen Sui handed the letter to him, he quickly opened it.

There was not a single word of nonsense in Zhong Xing's letter. It was concise and short, but contained a surprisingly large amount of information.

After reading the first few lines, Xiao Buyi frowned and looked gloomy. Chen Sui didn't know what was written in the letter, but just by looking at his expression, he felt that it was a very important matter.

Before he finished reading the letter, Xiao Buyi called his confidant and asked him to arrange some people to disguise themselves as knights and complete the task assigned by Zhong Xing.

He did not avoid Chen Sui when giving these instructions. After Zhong Xing left, Chen Sui became his retainer and confidant, giving him advice.

After the personal attendant left, Xiao Buyi continued to read the rest of the content.

After a while, he became furious and slammed the table hard.

Chen Sui was startled when he suddenly heard him calling his teacher's name with a gritted teeth tone.

teacher?

What did the teacher do to make the eldest master so angry?
At the same time, in the distant city of Chang'an, at the gate of the Beidi Palace, the leader of the Emperor's Langwei Army looked at the man walking out with respect and vigilance.

"King of the North, His Majesty invites you."
