Yang Jiangyi stepped forward and stretched out her hands to hug Hua Bushi. Tears could not help but fall from her cheeks. The two hugged each other tightly and could not bear to separate for a while.

After a long time, Hua Bushi calmed down a little and asked: "How did my sister guess that my brother's illness was fake?" Yang Jiangyi said: "Actually, you said that the reason why the whole body is weak is because the meridians are not connected. , I had doubts, because you had told me earlier that the human body's meridians could be saved after being closed for six hours. How could it be delayed for so many days? And you later refused to notify Li Hu and the others, nor did you want to Let me send you back, I'm almost sure."

Hua Bushi said: "In that case, my sister had already guessed the truth several days ago."

Yang Jiangyi said: "Yes, I have long thought that you might be faking it, but..."

Since Yang Jiangyi had already suspected why the truth was not revealed until today, although Yang Jiangyi did not tell the reason, Hua Bushi could understand that she, like him, was also reluctant to separate and wanted to live this life forever.[

Hua Bushi hugged the beauty in his arms tighter and said: "We don't want to go back. Let's live a good life together. Every day you hunt and I come to barbecue. You must not know that my barbecue skills are much better than yours." , I guarantee that my sister will still want to eat it after eating it once, and she will never be able to get enough, and she will never forget it for the rest of her life."

Yang Jiangyi smiled and said: "Fool, I don't need to eat your barbecue, I will never forget you."

Hua Bushi said: "Then let's continue to live on this mountain, okay?"

Yang Jiangyi said: "Okay."

Hua Bushi was overjoyed when he heard this, but he heard Yang Jiangyi say: "But it's only three days. I'll take you back after three days."

Hua Bushi's face immediately darkened again, and he said: "Three days, how can three days be enough?"

Yang Jiangyi said: "You know, that day when I was pricking your acupuncture points and unblocking your meridians in the thatched hut, I thought that if the enemy attacked, both of us would be killed. But that whole night was very tense." It's safe, not a leopard, wolf or beast came near the hut."

Hua Bushi was thinking about persuading Yang Jiangyi to stay no matter what, but then he suddenly heard her talking about this. He didn't understand what she meant, and just looked at her blankly.

Yang Jiangyi continued: "We are alive because we have received the protection of God and the help of many other people. Do you believe it?"

Hua Bushi believed that just a few days ago, if Wang Changsheng and the disciples from the Pili camp had not risked their lives to save him, he would have been killed by the "Tianchu" killers. He is still alive now. At least he should be grateful to those people.

"So, our lives do not only belong to ourselves. God protects us and also wants us to take responsibility. Jiangyi knows that the young master wants to give up everything at this moment and just stay in the mountains and live a peaceful life. But Will you never remember the souls of those who died unjustly and those who suffered in troubled times? Will you never remember the dream in your heart?"

"When you remember this, you will definitely not want to stay anymore, and you will regret today's indulgence. At the beginning, Jiangyi also thought that he could give up his responsibility, not avenge his master, and not practice martial arts, just to stay by the young master's side. , but now I understand that there are some things in this world that are destined to be done and cannot be escaped. It is the same for you and me. We have spent more than ten days in the mountains and wilderness, and we have already stolen it from the hands of God. You should feel lucky during your time.”

Ever since he set up his lifelong ambition to quell the killings, this ideal has never wavered in Hua Bushi's heart. It was not until this time that Yang Jiangyi was about to leave that he had the idea of ​​abandoning the world and living in seclusion. Put aside your life's ideals, this is the power of love,

However, there are some things in life that are more important than love. As Yang Jiangyi said, there is no way to escape the destined responsibility. A momentary impulse will eventually return to reason, and a moment of weakness will still return to its original strength.

Yang Jiangyi broke away from Hua Bushi's embrace, stared into his eyes, and said: "We made an agreement here today. After Jiangyi leaves, you must not pursue me again, and do not inquire about where I am. And Jiangyi Yi can also promise that after I have mastered the unique skill of 'Yi Jin Jing', I will definitely return to the young master and help him achieve his ideals, okay?"

Hua Bushi had a sad face. He could certainly tell from Yang Jiangyi's tone that there was no room for change in her departure. In desperation, he had no choice but to nod.

Yang Jiangyi was almost forced to hold up his hands and hit each other with their palms. The agreement between the two was concluded. However, after the filming, Hua Bushi refused to let go of Yang Jiangyi's hands. , he even grabbed her slender waist and held her in his arms,

"What do you want to do?" Yang Jiangyi asked with a red face.

Hua Bushi seemed to have gotten rid of his troubles in an instant. The evil master's evil smile returned to his face and said: "Didn't my sister promise to stay for three more days? Since this time was stolen from the hands of God, how can it be so bad?" It's precious, how can it be wasted easily? Sister, come with me, we can still do a lot of things in these days." [

The Qi River runs through Zhangde Prefecture and is a not too big river in the northeastern part of Henan Province.

Dongyaodu is a ferry in the middle reaches of the Qi River. The river section here is about a hundred feet wide. The water flow is already very fast. In addition, there was a heavy rain the day before. Now the gray-yellow river water mixed with sediment is swirling downstream. Rushing, making a "swishing" sound,

There are more than a dozen wooden boats moored at the pier on the east bank of the river. A group of people is preparing to cross the river. There are about two thousand people. These soldiers are neatly dressed and well-equipped. Although they are dispersing to board the boats, they are in an orderly manner. There is no confusion at all,

A large red flag stood on the shore, with a big Chinese character "Chuang" embroidered on it. There were four war horses under the flag, and a big man on the back of a black horse in the middle, with red tassels floating on the felt hat above his head. , wearing a cloak and a sword hanging from his waist, it is Li Zicheng. The big man in green robe beside him is Liu Zongmin, and the other two generals are Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu.

"How far are the army's troops from here?" Li Zicheng asked,

"Zhang Zongheng's men and horses are thirty-five miles to the southeast, He Renlong is fifty miles to the north, Zhang Yingchang's cavalry was defeated by us, and the infantry is at least forty to fifty miles away. For the moment, I am afraid that I will not dare to go up." Liu Zongmin replied,

He curled his lips and said: "Brother, don't worry. By the time they get here, we will have already crossed the river. This river is fast flowing. As long as the ferry is destroyed, no matter how many officers and men there are, it will be impossible to force a crossing." .”

Li Zicheng said: "There are other docks and ferries on the Qi River."

Liu Zongmin said: "The nearest one is thirty miles away. It will take at least three or four hours for the officers and soldiers to take a detour to cross the river."

Li Zicheng nodded and said: "Three or four hours should be enough for us to escape from the siege and go far."

Tian Jianxiu said: "We brought a lot of food, grass and baggage, as well as more than 20 large steel cannons. Yesterday, there were more than 300 wounded in the battle with the army's cavalry. It was difficult to march in a hurry. We just needed a few more hours.

, I’m afraid it’s still difficult to completely escape the pursuit of the officers and soldiers.”

Liu Zongmin said: "If that doesn't work, it's better to leave the wounded behind. It will definitely speed up the march a lot."

Before Li Zicheng could answer, Li Guo objected: "Absolutely not. Those brothers were all injured in the battle with the officers and soldiers. Wouldn't it be cold to everyone's heart to abandon them?"

That day, Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang traveled and met with the leaders of various rebel armies in northern Henan. The result was not ideal. Except for two or three weak leaders, several larger local rebel armies were unwilling to be recruited. Five days later, they took the recruitment

A mere few hundred troops returned to Huaiqing City,

As soon as Li Zicheng entered the city, Li Guo and Hao Yaoqi told him about the crisis in Biluo Mountain and Hua Bushi leading the Pili battalion to rush to rescue. However, Li Zicheng's decision was actually the same as that of the commander-in-chief Liu Zongmin, who also refused to fight.

, A few days later, Zhang Zongheng and Hong Chengchou's two groups of officers and troops approached Huaiqing City. Together with Zhang Yingchang, who was watching eagerly from the side, a total of 140,000 troops were about to form a siege on the city.

The more than 30,000 rebels who occupied Huaiqing had to confront so many officers and soldiers head-on. Once they were surrounded in the city, it was impossible to escape. Commander Gao Yingxiang immediately decided to abandon the city before the officers and soldiers could complete the encirclement.

Withdraw from Huaiqing,

After leaving Huaiqing, the men and horses of the Thirty-sixth Battalion ran away and dispersed. This was also a tactic used by the rebels for a long time when encountering encirclement and suppression by large groups of officers and soldiers.

Among the main groups of rebels, the "Eight Great Kings" Zhang Xianzhong retreated south, preparing to move to the Hubei border via southern Henan, "Crossing the Sky" Liu Guoneng, and "Cao Cao" Luo Rucai led their troops to the west, trying to march into the Sichuan-Shaanxi area, "

The troops of Gao Yingxiang, King of Chuang, headed north to re-enter the Jin territory, with the goal of Liaozhou, which they had just left not long ago.

Perhaps because they learned that Gao Yingxiang was the commander of the Thirty-sixth Battalion, the officers and soldiers only separated a small number of troops to drive away Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng and others who fled to the west and south, while the concentrated **0,000 troops

, pursued and blocked Gao Yingxiang's northbound rebel army, Mingxuan Governor Zhang Zongheng personally led the troops, and the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, sent his most capable general He Renlong to lead the troops. Together with the troops of the capital commander Zhang Yingchang, the army could be described as

The elite soldiers and generals are all out, and they are in full swing. They must drive all the "Chuang King" rebels and horses along the way and kill them.

The strength of the troops was very different, so it was naturally better to go. Gao Yingxiang retreated to the north together with the rest of the army, but he gave Li Zicheng the important responsibility of covering the rear.

In the past ten days or so, Li Zicheng, leading his 3,000 troops, has been playing a game of circles with several pursuing troops in an area hundreds of miles north of Huaiqing Mansion.
