Chapter 50: Finding the Corpse
"Brother, is Xiang Sanqiu dead?"
"I saw his boat explode, and the water surface was too messy and I couldn't see clearly. Anyway, the things floating like personal were at least one arrow. Many of the corpses were dragged into the bottom of the river by their armor. It seemed that I wanted to know whether he was dead or not."
When Liu Cheng heard this, he immediately took the reins.
"Brother, we can't leave. Do you know how important this corpse is? Are you not afraid of the rebels coming to steal the corpse at night?"
Yun Xiao immediately understood, yes. This corpse is extremely important to the rebels and the court.
"Batu, take the wounded back first, and let Thirteen come quickly with the things in the cellar."
"promise"
Batu had no choice but to find the importance of the matter and immediately sent two uninjured Hun men to Jiangdu to dispatch troops.
As soon as the people and horses turned back, they saw a fire dragon winding towards the river. The speed was very fast, but it seemed that there were not many cavalrymen involved when they heard the sound.
"Extinguish the torch and shoot at places where there are torches."
Yun Xiao immediately ordered everyone to extinguish the torches, and the Iron Guard Hun Knights in black armor were completely integrated with the background. Liu Cheng was busy taking off the Han armor and only wore the black clothes inside.
The ground was covered with burnt reed ash, and the black clothes were the most natural protective color, which was much more effective than the protection of Han Jia. The entire team seemed to disappear from the sight of the rebel soldiers.
The iron-tied crossbow shot into the densely packed places, and many torches fell to the ground. The people by the river were tilted over and over, and the Yun Xiao dispersed the team very much. More than one hundred people surrounded the rebels by the river in a semi-arc shape.
The rebels were in a mess. There were crossbows shooting in every direction in the darkness. And it was extremely accurate, and there was no such good target as torch in the darkness.
"Extinguish the torch quickly."
The leader of the army was also an old army. He quickly reacted and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to put out the torches. The soldiers threw the torches into the river one after another. The burning flames met the cold river water, and in an instant, they extinguished the riverside and returned to darkness.
"Blade Shield Hand, come to the front."
The shield wall of the sword and shield hand was just standing, and the sound of tearing the cloth out of the distance came from the distance. A thick javelin shot over, and the three-layer sword and shield hand in the front row was immediately penetrated into several blood alleys. The huge inertia flew directly into the river with a sword and shield hand.
"What a pity, if you put the gunpowder crossbow, otherwise it would be the best to use it at this time."
"You dare to keep the gunpowder crossbow around you, you are tired of living."
Dai Yu scolded an iron guard who was feeling emotion. Seeing the power of the gunpowder crossbow, he was very impressed by Yun Xiao's decision to throw the gunpowder crossbow out.
The huge power of the three-bow bed crossbow completely shocked the rebels, and the crossbow arrows whizzed in the darkness. They didn't know how many people and horses came from each other. The soldiers by the river began to become in chaos.
The captain who "withdrew" the team was also a cautious person. He did not blindly let his subordinates attack into the darkness. After dawn, you can see the situation clearly and don't rush for a moment. General Xiang may have died, so he had to let the general soak in the river for another night.
The rebel soldiers retreated quickly.
Yun Xiao did not organize the hijacking, but just sent a cavalry to constantly harass the retreating rebels.
The riverside quieted for a moment, and the cold winter night was particularly hard to bear. I was nervous when I was fighting just now, but when I stopped, my sweat quickly became cold. It felt like I was thrown into an ice cellar. Everyone was trembling, but they didn't dare to make a fire. The fate of the rebels was right in front of me. No one dared to make such a fatal mistake.
The people of the Yun family were even more miserable at this time. The hard armor prevented people from approaching, and they could not even be able to hold together to keep warm. The cold wind poured into the gaps of the armor, taking away the heat from the human body. Everyone was slandering and cursing God.
"It won't work like this. Although it will make you strong muscles and bones. But it will be frozen for a night. You have to think of a way or how to fight tomorrow."
Yun Xiao was so cold that he jumped straight in place. He was also frozen and hungry now. Today he only ate a piece of beef wrapped in oil paper all day, and now his stomach was already roaring. The jerky beef lost too much in Yueyang. Otherwise, it would be a comfortable thing to chew a few pieces at this time.
"This damn god, it was so cold just now in November."
Liu Cheng also jumped and scolded. This was the exercise taught by Yun Xiao, and it would feel much warmer.
"Leave a post and change it in half an hour. The rest of the people enter the cart. Cover with canvas and squeeze it, and hold it up. Maybe there are lurking spies in the dark. Our fire will not only reveal our location in our lifetime, but also guess our number from the number of our fires. If they rush over for fear of life, then we will be terrible."
Yun Xiao never thought he could sleep on such a night, but today he fell asleep under such harsh conditions.
When I woke up in the morning, my head was dizzy. I felt a little hot when I touched my forehead, but it seemed like I had a fever. I learned that I was studying survival in the wild. Never sleep outdoors on winter nights, as this would make me catch a cold.
"A Yene" sneezed hard, and his nose was as light as water flowed down. Yun Xiao felt bad. He caught a cold at this critical moment. His throat was so painful that he could not stand. He could only lean on the cart.
Dai Yu noticed something wrong with Yun Xiao and hurriedly called Liu Cheng.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Cheng, the tampered guy, actually held Yun Xiao's shoulder and shook it. Yun Xiao, whose head was already very dizzy, became even more dizzy now.
"Stop shaking, I'll die if I shake it again. Has Thirteen come? Send someone to find a way to make a pot, and make some ginger to cook some ginger soup for everyone to drink. Otherwise, it would be miserable like me, and I'll be stewed with one spoonful. I don't want to take you to the underworld to continue fighting with Xiang Sanqiu."
It was obvious that this topic was not funny at all. Liu Cheng hurriedly conveyed Yun Xiao's orders. While greeting people, he took down all the felts on the cart and spread them under Yun Xiao.
After saying goodbye to the hard carriage board, Yun Xiao felt much more comfortable. The rising sun also gave everyone a hint of warmth, although it was just a psychological effect. Liu Cheng's subordinates were very capable and didn't know where to get an iron pot. There was also a large bag of ginger, cut a few small trees, piled up a stove, and took the river water and started cooking it.
After drinking a large bowl of ginger, Yun Xiao fell asleep in a daze. There was no wife from later generations, son and parents in the dream. But he dreamed that Luan Ling was holding a white and tender baby, which must be her eldest daughter. She looked very blurry, and Yun Xiao rubbed her eyes hard, but she still couldn't see clearly. Just as she was about to open it clearly, she found that the empress dowager was holding the child, the white and tender baby had grown up a lot, and the grandmother was Liu Xiaozhu.
A large group of court officials were kneeling at the two people, and they seemed to be flying in the air. What's going on? Is he dead? Seeing Liu Qi, he was flying in the air like himself. Next to him was Chao Cuo, who was half-body, and Yun Xiao was about to come forward to say hello. Xiang Sanqiu was carrying a sword and rushing towards him with a fire in his mouth. He looked desperately, and wanted to run away but was dragged by something.
When he looked down, he saw Dou Ying with a smile on his face. It seemed that this guy was not doing well, and there was only one head left. Seeing that the sword with blue karma fire was about to fall on his head, Yun Xiao suddenly felt the mountains shaking, as if the world was about to collapse.
He opened his eyes with difficulty, which was Liu Cheng's annoying face. But he seemed extremely excited, and his facial features were distorted. Damn, I caught a cold and even disturbed my coma. This is too unrestrained.
"Brother, I took it out. I took it out."
Liu Cheng danced and gestured, Dai Yu walked to the river with his feet floating Yun Xiao. He surrounded the iron guards in black armor, and the river was surrounded by the village warriors, and several small black boats wandered in the river. There were a lot of corpses on the shore, and dozens of them seemed to be all rebel soldiers who had been caught.
Xiang Sanqiu lay quietly on the river beach, with water flowing under him. Except for his pale face as if he was sleeping, he was almost like he was asleep. What surprised Yun Xiao was that this guy was exactly the same as he dreamed of. Even his hair and beard were the same, and the sword around his waist was very similar to the sword with blue karma fire he was holding in his dream.
Yun Xiao was sure that he hadn't looked at Xiang Sanqiu carefully. The so-called meeting had never been nearly within a thousand steps. Why did he actually dream of him? This was so supernatural. If it were later generations, Yun Xiao really wanted to find Wu Banxian to calculate.
"Is this guy Xiang Sanqiu?"
Yun Xiao asked Dai Yu around him that he had been dealing with Xiang Sanqiu for many years and would never admit his mistake.
"It's him. When I caught it, I recognized it. This sword was worn by the King of Wu, and Xiang Sanqiu never left him."
Perhaps because of the reason why I soaked in the water for a day and a night, my skin was a little loose. It looked like the skin of a crystal elbow, and Yun Xiao felt a little disgusted. He turned around and walked back, and was anxious and almost fell down.
Dai Yu and Zhang Shisan supported him from the left and right, and Yun Xiao vomited in big mouthfuls. Nothing of food was sour. If you didn't eat a day and night, it would be strange if you could spit out something. There seemed to be a lot of water in your stomach, and it was better to spit out from your nose when you were in a coma. I don't know how much ginger soup these kids fed him when they were unconscious. Anyway, the nose was so spicy that it couldn't stop.
Everyone was surprised by the Marquis' reaction. The Marquis would cry when he saw Xiang Sanqiu's body. The killers were puzzled and looked at Liu Cheng.
This guy thought for a long time, then squeezed out with his beard. "Know heroes, value heroes, and appreciate each other."
