Husband has a sweetheart

Yan County is just downstream of the river.

A group of more than a dozen small boats quickly arrived near the city. The brutal killing cries could be heard from far away. The people who heard them were frightened. Many women who came to collect the bodies of their husbands or fathers and brothers began to cry in fear.

Zhang Yuqing wrapped his head and face with a rag and held Xiao Ya'er in his arms.

The county town was getting closer to everyone, and they hid in the reeds. The person who led them here abandoned the boat and landed. After observing the situation for a while, he sneaked back and said with a pale face: "Don't go there, it's too scary, everywhere They are all dead people..."

Xiao Yaer's eyes were swollen like peaches from crying all the way, and she sobbed softly: "I want to go, I want to find my brother!"

Some of the people who came with them insisted on going ashore to see if their family members were dead or alive, while others backed down.In the end, everyone divided into two groups. Those who were not afraid of death and were willing to go to the battlefield to see it went over, while the rest waited here to see the situation.

Zhang Yuqing and Xiao Ya'er held hands tightly and climbed onto the river.

The place where they landed was behind the Red Lotus army, but only one step away from the battlefield.The ground was covered with injuries and wounds from the ragged Red Lotus Sect's motley army. The ground was stained with blood. Broken limbs and broken heads were everywhere. Thin arrows streaked across the sky and pierced into the flesh. Another scene of tragedy. Call.

The closer we got to the city wall, the more corpses piled up, and the ground under our feet was soaked with blood. There were many peasant soldiers climbing on the city wall trying to attack the city tower. Some people screamed and fell from the high city wall, falling to the ground. He twitched a few times and lost his breath.

In this place that looked like a purgatory on earth, many generals of the Red Lotus Sect raised their swords and told the soldiers to launch another wave of charges with ferocious looks.

A wounded soldier with a broken leg struggled to crawl in front of her and Xiao Ya'er. His face was covered in blood and his true appearance was unclear.

The thin and small wounded soldier grabbed Zhang Yuqing's ankle and shouted hoarsely: "Help me, help me!"

When he raised his head, Zhang Yuqing saw several large holes in his chest and abdomen, with his white intestines flowing out, and he was covered in blood.

Xiao Ya'er was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

There was nothing Zhang Yuqing could do. She could tell that this man was no more than 15 years old.

The voice of the soldier holding her became smaller and smaller, and finally his head hung down and he stopped moving.

Xiao Ya'er bravely wiped the blood on Xiao Bing's face, as if he was relieved, but also crying, "It's not brother."

Zhang Yuqing closed his eyes for him.

Looking around, these dead soldiers are still wearing the linen clothes they wore when they were farmers. They have no military uniforms, let alone protective gear and armor. They can't even hold a weapon. Many of them are holding sticks and stones. Combat.

Even these farmers and teenagers who have never been trained are dragged to the battlefield and killed. Qi Shengtian is simply a devil!

Zhang Yuqing looked at the purgatory-like Yanxian battlefield, his blood surged, and his hands clenched tightly into fists.

It turns out that she only paid attention to Liangzhou and the capital. She never thought that the places outside Liangzhou and the capital were such a hell on earth that eats people without spitting out bones.

She vaguely realized what Ku De wanted her to do by wasting his mana and giving up the chance of almost eternal life to bring her from another world.

In the evening, the sun set in the west, and the lake forks in the reed marsh were rippling with sparkling golden light. The battlefield gradually calmed down. Zhang Yuqing took Xiao Ya'er and hid in the reed marsh until Qi Shengtian's troops retreated and gave up today's attack. The two of them just came out of the city and joined the villagers who came to look for their families in twos and threes. They rummaged through the pile of bloody corpses to see if they had any relatives.

As he turned over the pages, a sad and desperate cry came out.

Night was coming, and Xiao Yaer's eyes began to lose sight, but she hadn't found her brother yet, and she became increasingly panicked and frightened.

Zhang Yuqing comforted her and said, "No news is good news."

At this moment, a low voice came from near the two of them, "Xiao Ya'er? Sister Qiuniang?"

Zhang Yuqing immediately looked up and saw a person squatting behind a pile of corpses not far away. The voice sounded like Xiao Shu'er.

"Brother!" Xiao Ya'er stumbled over, hugged Xiao Shu'er and cried loudly.

Xiao Shuer was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her mouth, "There are soldiers patrolling the tower. If they see me, they will shoot arrows!"

Yan County is under siege and lacks supplies. The soldiers may not waste arrows on the women and children who are looking for the bodies of their relatives, but if they see a man, they will definitely release arrows.

"Let's go!" Xiao Shu'er said as he saw the sky getting darker and darker.

Zhang Yuqing and Xiao Ya'er followed him all the way to the camp of the Red Lotus Cult Army.

It is said to be a camp, but it is just an open-air sleeping place with torches burning and only a few tents for senior cadres to rest.

Xiao Shu'er stopped 100 meters away from the camp, turned around and asked Xiao Ya'er angrily, "What are you doing here?"

"They all said that my brother is dead..." Xiao Ya'er cried, holding on to Xiao Shu'er's hand.

By the light of the fire, Zhang Yuqing saw that Xiao Shu'er was also injured. One arm was simply tied with a cloth strip, and there was blood seeping out. His leg was also a little lame, and he walked with a limp.

Xiao Shuer was silent for a while and said, "I heard they said that people from our village came out to look for someone. I was afraid that you would come over, and I saw you." "Is this always the case in Red Lotus Sect's wars?" Zhang Yuqing asked softly, "Forcing you, ordinary people with no training, to kill people?"

After a while, Xiao Shuer shook his head and lowered his voice and said: "I heard from people that the Buddha Mother is getting old and wants to choose a Buddhist son in the sect. Protector Zuo wants to make military exploits at this time, and his army is here Several places were fighting at the same time and there were not enough people, so they arrested people everywhere..."

Zhang Yuqing glanced at the brightly lit tent in the distance.

The number one figure in the Red Lotus Sect is the Buddha Mother, and under the Buddha Mother are the guardians on the left and right.The Red Lotus Sect, which was founded based on the theory of gods and ghosts, rarely gives each of its cadres the identity of the reincarnation of gods and Buddhas.

Needless to say, Zuo Dharma Protector Qi Shengtian would appear as a deity when nothing happened. He touched all the famous gods and goddesses, and even Sheng Guixin was packaged as the reincarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva by the Red Lotus Sect.

All high-level officials know very well that these reincarnations are just a lie to fool the ignorant people. They are also mortal bodies with greed and desire for power.

Sheng Guixin's moral character and style were much higher than Qi Shengtian's, and her reputation among teachers was much better than Qi Shengtian's. What worried Qi Shengtian the most was that Sheng Guixin was so capable.

As soon as he came, he led the Qing Army to make many military exploits and made great contributions to the expansion of the Red Lotus Sect, which seriously threatened Qi Shengtian's status in the Red Lotus Sect.

Compared to Qi Shengtian, a peasant who had not read many books or learned martial arts for a few days, Sheng Guixin was outstanding in martial arts and had the air of a general, which made him look like dust on the ground.

The son of Buddha is naturally the son of the mother of Buddha, and the logical successor of the mother of Buddha. Whoever is the son of Buddha will be the next person in power of the Red Lotus Sect, that is, the leader.

At this critical moment when the Buddha Mother is about to transfer power, Qi Shengtian can't sit still anymore. He wants to use more prominent victories to crush Sheng Guixin, establish his own status and achievements, and ask the Buddha Mother to hand over the power of the Red Lotus Sect. give him.

Zhang Yuqing let out a long sigh. The victory or defeat of the superiors will always be paved with the bones of the people at the bottom.

"How many days did you fight in Yan County?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

Xiao Shuer counted on his fingers, "It must have been five or six days since I came here. I don't know how long it took me before. Everyone in front is dead. We came later."

Zhang Yuqing turned back and looked in the direction of Yanxian County. The towering tower looked like a dormant giant beast under the night.

Most of the followers of the Red Lotus Sect are ordinary people who have been bullied by the government to the point of desperation. In nature, they are timid and cowardly, easily fooled and incited. They have no clear goals for the future and follow the leader in a muddle. This is not a qualified profession. soldier.With such a basic situation, by working steadily and steadily to conquer a place, stabilize the territory, train troops and collect food, it may slowly grow and expand until it expands to the whole country.

But the ability and character of their leader destined them not to take such a path.

Qi Shengtian was eager to seize more territory, and he did not consider the actual combat capabilities of these ordinary people who could only carry hoes and farm, nor did he care about the life and death of others.

In his eyes, territory means greater power and more wealth. As for the cannon fodder who died as stepping stones, there are too many cannon fodders to catch the young men.

It was impossible for Yanxian County to be captured by this group of people who were captured temporarily and did not even have weapons. In these five or six days, they only gave lives to the Yanxian defenders.When the defenders in the neighboring prefectures and counties regained their composure, they supported Yanxian County from all directions.
Looking at the corpses strewn under the Yanxian city wall, you can tell how tragic the defeat of Qi Shengtian's army was.

"Run away." Zhang Yuqing said, "If you stay, you will die sooner or later."

Xiao Ya'er's eyes lit up and she looked at Xiao Shu'er expectantly.

Xiao Shuer shook his head and said in a sad tone, "I was able to come out because I relied on five fellow villagers from the same village as my guarantee. If I become a deserter, the five of them will be beheaded."

Zhang Yuqing took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to curse.

"Are you going to attack the city tomorrow?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

Xiao Shu'er nodded, "If they don't want to fight, what would Qi Shengtian want them to do?"Not to mention that the food in the past two days has obviously deteriorated a lot. It is estimated that the army's food reserves are about to be exhausted.

If Yan County cannot be conquered, they will probably starve to death.

"Who is in charge here? Qi Shengtian?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

Xiao Shuer shook his head, "The Zuo Protector is somewhere else, and the one leading us to fight is Haigong Xiu, one of the Eighteen Arhats."

Zhang Yuqing curled up the corner of his mouth slightly. He didn't fight well in this battle, but he did a good job in gimmicks. He was worthy of being Qi Shengtian's subordinate.

"Why are you asking this?" Xiao Shu'er suddenly frowned, "You go away quickly and leave me alone!"

Zhang Yuqing said: "Take me to see Hai Gongxiu."

"What are you doing seeing him! He has a nickname called Huahua Arhat. When he sees a woman, he..." Xiao Shu'er said unspeakably.

Zhang Yuqing touched the little boy's head and smiled slightly, "I have a way to conquer Yan County."

Sweetheart Theater:

Zhang Yuqing held a loudspeaker: All departments, pay attention, all departments, pay attention, get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm back in the world, and I'm going to make a big move!
