Chapter 148
The yellow sand is surging, the cold wind is piercing and lonely, and the life at the border is very hard. Every day when I am with yellow sand, I am faced with corpses everywhere. It is admirable to be able to stay in such a place for four years and live with my heart and liver.
A place and a scenery, the yellow sand wasteland also has its charming place, two people and two horses, the sun above her head is dazzling, the Cape behind her is lifted by the wind, the yellow sand in the sky is dazzling red, the color is dazzling.
The border between Xianyu and Zhao state is in the north, and the border between Xianyu and Qi state is in the West. After finishing cleaning up Xianyu, she immediately wants to go west to another battlefield, and the fighting will never stop.
"Are you really going to live like this till you get old?"
Zhou Leping said, "this is my life. Since I have chosen it, I will not regret it, nor will I regret it."
He jumped off the horse and broke a withered grass by the side of the road, half sighing, "I used to think that I could see my head at a glance in my life, and it was very boring. Later, I found that it was good to change my way of life, and you don't have to bury yourself in this yellow sand all your life."
Zhou Leping stopped, sat on the horseback and looked at him, "I'm different from you. I can never finish the battle. I'm afraid that only when I'm old and about the same age as my father can I put down this pile of stalls, or there is a stronger person than me. The Emperor doesn't need me, and then I can get away without worry."
"After all, it's for the emperor."
"It's shameless to eat your salary and be loyal to you. Generally speaking, I'm for the people in this world, not just for the emperor."
At the foot of a lizard, Zhu GuanLiang stepped on its tail with a bad heart, watching him struggling desperately, like Zhou Leping at the moment.
"You don't have to be here with us all the time." Zhou Leping also jumped down from the horse, found a stone to sit down, picked up a branch and rowed on the ground. "When this battle is over, you can go back. You are not a member of the army. It's not a good time to be buried here. You should go back and get married and have children."
He nodded with a smile, "that's what I said. I'll go, but not now."
"Well." She scratched casually on the ground. She scratched twice and drew out the word "Zhao". Then she scattered it with her feet and wrote "Zhou".
For a moment, there was nothing to say. Both of them were silent. After sitting for a while, Zhou Leping turned on his horse again and said, "let's go. There's a mountain depression in front. Follow me to have a look."
Zhu GuanLiang rode on his horse and followed her. They went to the front of the mountain. Zhou Leping walked in front of her. When he got to the mouth of the mountain, he dismounted and looked back and forth in the mouth of the mountain. He also looked up from time to time. After a while, he thought there was no problem before he took Zhu GuanLiang in.
Xianyu people love to ambush in this kind of place. She suffered losses here. As soon as she went in, boulders rolled down on both sides. Nearly half of the people died that time, and she learned a lot from it. Later, she got used to it. When she passed through this kind of place, she had to check whether there was an ambush.
In fact, soldiers come here to inspect every day, but she still likes to do everything by herself. She's afraid that the people below will not check carefully, and she won't be relieved until she looks at it again sooner or later.
When they went in, Zhou Leping became more cautious. He walked slowly and looked at each step. He was still thinking about how to bring Xianyu people here and let them suffer a loss.
"Someone!" When they reached the middle, Zhu GuanLiang suddenly stopped, looked around, looked for his voice, and after confirming the direction, he pointed out, "over there."
Zhou Leping also heard it. It was indistinct, intermittent, like crying, which was sent to his ears in the wind. It was difficult to distinguish between men and women.
Two people look for the voice to find the past, in the side of the low mountain rocks found a woman.
A teenage girl was disheartened, her clothes were broken and her hair was scattered. She was holding a corpse on the ground, crying out of breath. When she saw someone coming, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed and yelled, "I beg you, please forgive me, I beg you, please..."
The girl was holding the body of a boy about her age in her arms. The boy was stabbed in the chest, and the blood on the ground was still wet. It should be that he had just died.
Zhou Leping softened his voice and moved slowly, "don't be afraid. I won't kill you. I'm from Zhao. This one in your arms is..."
The girl raised her head when she heard the word "Zhao Guoren". She saw that she was wearing Zhao Guoren's armor. She couldn't help but howl again, "are you a general? Will you save my brother? I beg you
"Is this your brother?" Zhou Leping went up to explore the breath of the boy in her arms and said with regret, "how did he die?"
When the girl heard the word "death", she couldn't help it. Two big tears fell down again. "Dead... Dead? Brother, no! You wake up, you get up and look at me! I have only one brother! "
Zhou Leping pulled the girl up, put his hand on her face and asked, "who are you? Why are you here? How did your brother die? "
The girl was not interested in Zhou Leping's interrogation, but her eyes fell on Zhu GuanLiang. She moved step by step, intending to get close to him. "My brother and I are also from Zhao. We went to the north to do business with our parents. We were in a hurry to deliver the goods back, so we took this shortcut. Who knows we met Xianyu's cavalry, they..."
The girl wiped her tears and cried even more fiercely. "They killed my parents. My brother managed to take me out and hide me in the crevice of the rocks. I hid there, but he..." this was originally a business road. When the war was not so fierce before, people came and went, but in the past two years, there were no caravan left“ Do you know where they came from when you met Xianyu cavalry The girl thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard about it, but I overheard them saying that they would set up an ambush on the slope of Guaizi. As a woman, I don't know about it. I don't know if I heard it wrong. I just heard the name of guaizi'ao." Guaizi'ao is really a good place to ambush. When I met Xianyu line soldiers several times ago, it seemed that I was in the area of guaizi'ao“ Yes, you heard me right. " Zhou Leping said, "well, you go back to the barracks with me first, and I'll send you to the post station later. You can go back with other caravans from the post station. As for your brother, you decide by yourself whether to be buried here or..." the girl couldn't help but get up again. "I don't want my brother to die here, general. Can you let me take him back to the post station, I want to bury him there. "
