...

On the first day of July, Caizhou City...

"well……"

Gu Qian sighed, looked at the two thousand hall-front troops behind him, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Shi Zongjie was defeated and captured. I have no right to mobilize the remaining army in front of the palace to rescue me. Zhao Yuanji has taken strict precautions against me. It seems that this time I, Gu Qian, can only sacrifice my life to repay the emperor's kindness..."

Looking back on his experiences these days, Gu Qian felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. Since the news of Shi Zongjie's defeat came, Gu Qian suggested that Zhao Yuanji send troops to Wuliang Town several times. Even if he could not conquer the No. 1 Fortress in Heyuan, he should show his due attitude to kill the thieves.

However, Zhao Yuanji ignored this at all, and even took advantage of the news of Shi Zongjie's defeat and deducted the food and supplies of the army in front of the palace from time to time, saying that these Beijing soldiers were useless and instead dragged down the entire battle situation in Heyuan...

In this regard, Gu Qian tried his best to fight with him, but the results were minimal. Zhao Yuanji still acted like he was desperate and even had a big fight with Gu Qian...

Later, the intelligence department personnel sent by Xu Wenjing quickly sneaked into Caizhou City and began to spread rumors, divising the relationship between Gu Qian and Zhao Yuanji. Zhao Yuanji believed the rumors and his relationship with Gu Qian became even worse. Finally, he even told Gu Qian that if Wuliang Town could not be taken down, the food and grass in the Palace Front Department would never be provided again from now on.

In desperation, Gu Qian had to bite the bullet and go north to recover Wuliang Town. However, Gu Qian was just a military supervisor, not the commander of the first army, and had no power to mobilize the remaining 40,000 palace front offices. In the end, he had to reason with them and promised a lot of money as bait, which made two thousand of the soldiers in the palace front offices willing to follow Gu Qian on their backs.

But Gu Qian knew that it was undoubtedly a dream to take down the fortress of Wuliang Town with the two thousand soldiers in his hand, which was so dilapidated. He also brought the eight hundred dead soldiers recruited by his secret friend Qian Shizhong.

These 800 dead soldiers were all wearing hard rhinoceros armor, holding exquisite sharp blades, and were full of murderous auras. Compared with the soldiers in front of the hall, they were not of the same level as the soldiers in front of the palace. Gu Qian was also quite satisfied with these dead soldiers, but it was obviously impossible to conquer the Wuliang Town Fortress just by this.

The only thing I can do now is to find a way to win a battle, even if it is a very small victory. This may change Zhao Yuanji's view of the Palace Front Office...

“Start~”

With a command, two thousand and eight hundred people, led by Gu Qian, embarked on a bleak journey with uneasy mood. In the front camp of the palace, countless figures lay on the walls of wooden railings, watching them leave silently...

Compared with the energetic momentum a few months ago, the current Palace Qianshi has already had haggard and thin, her face is full of numbness, and she can't see any hope for the future...

They have all become victims of the gentry's power struggle, and have been completely abolished from the inside out...

"snort……"

On the Caizhou city wall, Zhao Yuanji carried his hands on his back and looked at Gu Qian's troops leaving. He couldn't help but snorted, his eyes full of disdain.

"Gu Qian, want to fight with me Zhao Yuanji? You are not qualified yet! I'll see how you die this time!"

After muttering disdainfully for a while, Zhao Yuanji turned around and waved his sleeves, and disappeared from the top of the city.

...

"Gu Qian? He actually dared to invade my Wuliang Town? There are less than 3,000 people?"

In Wuliang Town, Luo Song, who received the news that Gu Qian came to attack Wuliang Town, couldn't help but his eyes became extremely cold, and he tried hard to think about why Gu Qian had made such a self-destructive move.

After a long time, Luo Song stretched his eyebrows and immediately understood Gu Qian's purpose: "It seems that he wants to fight me in the wild? Then let all your 3,000 people in the wild be defeated by my Qingfeng Camp!"

Thinking of this, Luo Song immediately said to the guards beside him: "I ordered all the soldiers of Qingfeng Camp to join me to stop Gu Qian's troops. This time I will make them completely lose their confidence in being an enemy of Dachang!"

"Abide by the order!"

The guards on the side roared and immediately went to Qingfeng Camp to convey Luo Song's order...

"Oh~ Damn the chaotic world..." Looking at the guard's departure, Luo Song sighed, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and a touch of playful expression appeared on his face.

"That fool doesn't know what's going on. Why not go see him before going to the battle..."

And so, Luo Song walked into the fortress dungeon with comfortable steps...

The dim dungeon is dry and stuffy, full of disgusting body odor, and the air is filled with disgusting smell.

As soon as Luo Song entered the dungeon, his ears began to fill with shrill shouts, nothing more than praying for food and water, begging for mercy and injustice...

Luo Song ignored those people and went straight to the door of the prison cell where Shi Zongjie was imprisoned, signaling the prison guards here to open the door...

After entering the cell, Luo Song discovered that Shi Zongjie had now completely turned into a look of being neither human nor ghost. His prison uniform had already become a piece of rotten cloth strips, and his dirty and smelly hair covered his entire face. His mud-stained hands were often scratching the sores bitten by mosquitoes on his body. His exposed skin was covered with bright red scratches, and even scratched the sores. The scabbed holes were everywhere. There was no such thing as a romantic temperament of a "talented man in Jiangnan"...

Luo Song frowned and slowly came to him to sit down. He looked at him carefully with the light coming from the prison window, and said after a long time, "Young Master Shi San, are you doing well these days?"

Shi Zongjie did not make a sound when he heard this, but his body instinctively shrank towards the wall, obviously resisting Luo Song's arrival.

Seeing this, Luo Song glanced at his grey-brown bloody crotch, and asked with a sneer, "Mr. Shi San, how does it taste like that?"

"shut up!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Zongjie suddenly shook his head covered by his long hair, revealing a beard with deep eyes, extremely thin and dirt-filled face, and roared at Luo Song to stop him from talking.

Luo Song could clearly feel from his expression on his face that his emotions were all kinds of combinations of fear, anxiety, anxiety, anger, and humiliation, and obviously expressed strong resistance to the terrible thing that happened.

"What? Do you know you're scared?" Luo Song sneered, "Your mood is the mood when your lover was in trouble in the past. You should be able to understand how helpless Xue Ruyuan was at that time?"

"Nonsense!" Shi Zongjie obviously still couldn't accept that cruel reality and retorted loudly, "My Yuaner is pure and innocent, God will never treat her so cruelly. Don't insult her reputation in front of me..."

"Shi Zongjie! You are still not a man!" Luo Song was so upset about the words, and roared at him with a smile, "Xue Ruyuan ended up like this because of your incompetence! You are still unwilling to accept this fact now? It's really disappointing. Anyone who has a relationship with the Jiang family is indeed the same! It's hopeless!"

"Jiang Song!" Shi Zongjie roared sternly after hearing this, "What qualifications do you have to say to me? Are you unwilling to accept the reality that you are a descendant of the Jiang family?"

"shut up!"

"Bang!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Song slapped Shi Zongjie hard on the face, leaving a deep red mark on the five-finger fingers.

"Remember, my name is Luo Song. I have nothing to do with the Jiang family!" Luo Song grabbed Shi Zongjie's hair and said to him with a ferocious face, "If there is, it will be an enemy that will never end! I will destroy anyone who has anything to do with the Jiang family! Do you understand?"

After saying that, Luo Song pressed him to the ground, then stood up and punched him in great excitement. His face was full of madness, and he screamed in terror.

After a long time, Luo Song stopped beating and sat down on the ground. Looking at Shi Zongjie who was in a mess, he suddenly laughed.

"You are right. I really don't have the right to say anything about you, because I don't dare to face the facts either. In fact, we are both the same, hahaha, both are the same..."

Luo Song's smile revealed an unprecedented desolation...

"As a descendant of the Jiang family, it is so glorious in the eyes of outsiders. The thousand-year-old family has been changing for three dynasties and has the wealth and power that many people dream of but unavailable. But who can understand how helpless and desolate a species has in the Jiang family? The so-called family affection is simply an optional accessory, do you think?"

When Shi Zongjie heard Luo Song's words, he endured the pain and tried to stand up from the ground, and said lonely: "Not only is your Jiang family, but even my Shi family is the same. I just want to live with my beloved woman forever.

As a result, I couldn't even do such a small thought. I watched the man I was sent to the barbarian land to suffer but was powerless. What's the difference between it and a useless person?

I vaguely remember that year, my father found a woman I didn't love at all and forced himself to live together. I didn't resist. I just numbly obeyed the orders of my parents and passed on the family line. It was like a year.

This time I led the emperor's order to lead the army to Heyuan. Actually, I knew that I was not that material at all. I just took this opportunity to escape the fate arrangement. At the same time, I could pray that a miracle would happen and that I could meet Ru Yuan again. At that time, I would never let go of anything..."

Luo Song looked at Shi Zongjie with a passionate look and snorted with a snorted nose: "Actually, I really envy you sometimes. At least I have a reason to live strongly. As for me, my mother and sister are gone, and my family is gone. Now I am a walking corpse, and I rely on hatred to support me to walk..."

Speaking of this, the two of them were silent together. Only the miserable shouts echoed in each cell in the dungeon...

"General..." At this time, a soldier outside the cell came to report, "All nine thousand soldiers in Qingfeng Camp have been assembled, waiting for you to go for inspection..."

"I understand..." Luo Song came back with his head resting on the wall, "I'll come later, you can go outside first..."

"As for the order!" The soldier took the order and left.

Luo Song closed his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air, then stood up and regained the temperament that a coach should have. Before leaving the prison, he turned his back to Shi Zongjie and said, "However, I am still different from you. At least I work hard to change my destiny, and you will only immerse yourself in the memories of the past!"

By the way, Luosong strode out of the prison door, and whispered as he passed by the prison guard: "Send him clean clothes and get some water to clean him. It's so dirty..."
