Chapter 318 After the fierce battle
What was the belief of ancient people?
Why fight? For whom?
It is difficult for anyone to explain this question clearly. If you ask Wang Gui this question, Wang Gui, who has never read a book, may not be able to say it. Just as at this moment, he may not know why he is working so hard for.
Defending the country, justice and justice, these reasons are too grand and far-fetched. Wang Gui is just a soldier, and he does not have that high awareness.
If you have to find a reason, your loyalty to Gu Qing is part of it, your feelings for Pao Ze are part of it, and your guilt of betraying Pao Ze and Gu Qing becoming a court eyewitness are part of it.
Humans are complex animals, and they have reasons to do anything. Most of the reasons are not that single, but very complex, such as Wang Gui's reason for trying his best.
I work hard just to be loyal and to save my soul.
Wang Gui couldn't think so far at this moment. He knew that when it was time to fight, he must not hesitate or be afraid. There are many things in the world that are more important than death.
To get rid of the Marquis’ enemy, at least we have to hold him back and wait for reinforcements to arrive. This is the only thought in Wang Gui’s mind.
The roof had been silent for a long time, and Wang Gui was not sure if the enemy was still on the roof or had already fled far away.
But his physical strength is only enough to support the roof. If the enemy has fled far away, even if his sniper and Wang Laosan fail to completely tonight, he will still have half his life.
The door of the earthen house was covered with darkness inside. Wang Gui looked inside through the window lattice under the eaves. There were two corpses lying across the house, unable to see clearly. It was obvious that the archer killed the owner and occupied the house.
There is a staircase on the north side of the house, which should lead to the roof. Wang Gui looked at the staircase through the window frame, and his expression was struggling for a long time.
It was too risky to walk the stairs, and maybe the enemy's arrows were waiting for him. However, climbing up the roof from outside was too exhausting. Wang Gui's physical strength could not support such a huge amount of expenses. He lost more and more blood. Next, he had to save every part of his physical strength and drag it to the arrival of the Marquis' reinforcements.
He was in a very anxious mood, and life and death were no longer in his consideration. Wang Gui's only thought at this moment was how to get rid of this enemy at all costs.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Wang Gui found that there were two roads out of this earthen house. Like most houses, there was a front door and a back door. Wang Gui was in the yard of the front door at this moment, and there was a back door on the north side of the earthen house. If the enemy wanted to escape, there were only these two options, unless he could fly.
In the distance, Wang Laosan's cursing sounds still came intermittently, his voice hoarse and he was still cursing endlessly.
Wang Gui had cold sweat on his face, and he gritted his teeth and cursed a few words secretly. This dog was only aware of cursing, but he didn't know that I was about to die, so he didn't say that he would come to reinforce. If Wang Laosan came, one would seal the front door and the other would seal the back door, no matter what the result was, he would at least have a try.
The roof has been silent for a long time, and Wang Gui is getting more and more anxious. He is not sure whether the enemy has run away, so he still calmly waits for the opportunity to kill him.
In desperation, Wang Gui accidentally saw a pile of firewood and wood chips piled up in the corner of the wall under the eaves. It was a fire-burning thing for the people to cook. Wang Gui was stunned and then showed a hint of joy.
If no one seals the door, try another way.
With difficulty, Wang Gui took out the fire broker from his arms, found a pile of flammable wood chips, piled up firewood, and lit the fire broker after blowing it up.
The fire slowly lit up and became bigger and bigger. After the firewood was ignited, Wang Gui still had some burning firewood in the room, then held the pulled arrow in his hand and slowly moved towards the back door.
A fire ignites the house, and the front door is equivalent to being sealed by the fire, so the only way for the enemy to retreat is the back door.
Wang Gui squatted at the corner outside the back door, like a dormant old turtle, holding an arrow in one hand and covering the wound on his waist with the other hand, closing his eyes to rest, waiting for the final battle.
The fire in the house was getting bigger and bigger, and the fire was rising in the sky. There was already movement in the houses outside. The gongs were ringing, and some people shouted that the water was gone, and more and more people were awakened.
Wang Gui was still squatting at the corner of the back door, with a strange smile on his face.
After all, this difficult enemy is not invincible. As long as he guards the back door tonight, he will never escape.
Soon, the sound of tiny and quiet footsteps came from the back door. Wang Gui opened his eyes, and his eyes were clear and the wound seemed to hurt. He focused all his strength on his hands, and he was holding the arrow tightly in his hands.
Wang Gui only has the strength of one blow, so this blow must be steady, accurate and ruthless. If he missed this blow, he was no longer able to launch a second blow.
The sound of tiny footsteps was getting closer and closer to him. He heard that the sound had reached the back door. Wang Gui arched his body in the dark, like a cheetah aimed at his prey and was ready to attack. His whole body was in a very strange but terrifying posture. It was an arrow about to leave the string, and it was a murderous move that peerless swordsman had been immersed in his life.
With his footsteps broken, Wang Gui could already feel the other party's slightly panicked mood.
Both the enemy and us were quite surprised to encounter this difficult master tonight, while the enemy was surprised to encounter Wang Gui's will to die.
The duel between the assassin and the warrior forms a gorgeous picture after the collision of poetry and fire, which is as romantic as blood.
The enemy had already stepped out of the back door. In a panic, his sixth sense seemed not so effective. He did not notice Wang Gui hiding outside the back door.
Wang Gui also let go of one hand covering the wound. Looking at a thin figure that appeared outside the back door, he suddenly grinned silently, and then rushed up like a cheetah, tightly clamping the enemy's neck. The arrow on the other hand penetrated without hesitation and penetrated into the enemy's abdomen.
The enemy was caught off guard and before he could react, his abdomen was hurting severely, which made him scream. Then he twisted his body and tried to break free from the hand that was holding his neck. However, the hand was very powerful, and he tightly wrapped around him and refused to let go.
The ugliness of fighting posture were not enough. The enemy kicked him hard in the back like a slapped donkey. Wang Gui was kicked and also let out a muffled groan, but his hand holding the arrow twisted and drilled hard in the enemy's body. The arrow entered his body a little more, and the enemy screamed again.
The two struggled, entangled, fought, and fought each other in life and death.
Until the end, both of them lost their strength and rolled on the ground.
When the enemy was about to continue to struggle hard, he found that the hand that was holding his neck had been released, and Wang Gui under him had lost the last bit of strength. He could only open his eyes and look at him with regret in his eyes.
The enemy was deeply shocked.
He didn't understand why there was such a warrior who had such a firm and unyielding fighting will appear in this small town on the side. No dead soldiers raised by wealthy families did not have such a shocking and terrifying will.
What exactly does he...make?
Covering the wound on his abdomen, the enemy did not dare to pull out the arrow. He listened to the sound of footsteps getting more and more messy and getting closer and closer, and he found a direction in a panic and prepared to escape.
As soon as I took a difficult step, I heard a calm and calm voice nearby.
"Enclose the nearby houses and do not let anyone go. The Sharp Cang enters and searches for the whereabouts of the enemy. Whether you live or die, you will pull out the guy with his head and tail for me!"
"Han Jie, bring your personal guards in and find Wang Gui and Wang Laosan!"
Hearing these series of orders, a trace of despair appeared in the enemy's eyes.
He knew that he had completely lost hope of escaping.
…………
The next day, the news that a businessman was shot and killed outside a shop in the new market spread, and the Jieduan Mansion quickly posted an announcement on the Anmin.
The notice said that an enemy sneaked into Kucha City to assassinate innocent merchants, waiting for an opportunity to destroy the market in Kucha City, and disrupt the hearts of merchants and the people. After being arrested overnight by the Jiedushi Mansion, the assassin has been taken down by the garrison and is being interrogated. The merchants and the people can rest assured and continue to do business and live.
In the barracks of the garrison camp, Wang Gui woke up from a coma and looked at the white tent roof with his eyes dull.
Wang Gui's face was still ugly, pale and bloodless. Two military doctors sat in the camp, dozing off with their chins on their forehand. After a whole night of rescue, the two doctors fought hard under the murderous gaze of Gu Qing, Han Jie and others, and finally rescued Wang Gui.
Although the person was saved, Wang Gui lost too much blood and needed to stay in bed for a long time. He also needed various blood-replenishing medicines and foods to calm down.
Seeing Wang Gui open his eyes, Wang Laosan, who was guarding next to him, shouted in surprise.
"Battle, you're finally alive!"
Wang Gui glanced at him dumbly, opened his mouth and stammered a few times, and found that he could not make any sound. He was so weak that he had no strength to speak.
Wang Laosan got up and ran out of the camp, shouting everywhere.
The two doctors were also awakened and hurriedly came to him to look at their complexion. They raised their eyelids and looked at their pupils. The other doctor took their pulse for a while and let out a long breath. The two doctors showed affirmation and then smiled bitterly at each other.
If Wang Gui is alive, they can also make a deal, otherwise they are really afraid that Han Jie and the group of personal guards will swallow them alive.
The curtain of the tent was lifted open, Gu Qing walked in quickly, sat in front of Wang Gui, and opened his eyelids as usual to look. Although he couldn't understand it very well,... he usually had to go through this procedure when visiting the wounded, and he didn't know what could be seen in his eyelids.
"Just live, haha, Wang Gui, you kid is really lucky. You have had two great disasters of life and death. I wonder if you have the halo of the protagonist. After so much blood, you are not dead..." Gu Qing laughed.
Wang Gui tried hard to squeeze out a smile. Although he didn't understand what the "protagonist halo" was, seeing the Marquis's happy look shouldn't be a bad thing.
Seeing that Wang Gui seemed to be trying hard to open his mouth and seemed to want to say something, Gu Qing waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to speak, you should take good care of it. I have ordered someone to purchase blood-replenishing medicinal materials from Hu Shang. Don't worry, you can't die, and it's nothing to shed some blood. It's just that the wound on the waist is a little troublesome, it seems to hurt the internal organs..."
Wang Gui said vigorously: "Last night...the enemy..."
