Chen Lijing repays kindness with flesh for the 88th time

  Chen Xizhen brought out all the stored grain and gave a full meal to all the soldiers on the mountain. At midnight, the whole army quietly descended the mountain, with people holding their breath and horses removing their bells, and crept down to the foot of the mountain under the cover of night.

  Only Lu Junyi's camp was in complete darkness, not a single light could be seen. Chen Xizhen said: "Feng brother, be careful with everything, wait for us to escape and you can follow up immediately."

  The wind nodded and said, "Don't worry, leader." He raised his nine-ring splash wind great cleaver, let out a loud shout, and yelled, "We're not dogs who wag our tails for food, we're wolves! Charge in and plunder!"

  With a swing of his sword, countless horses and men swarmed out, charging into the camp. Feng Hui urged his horse forward, only to see that the camp was empty and desolate, without even a ghostly figure. Suddenly, he felt a pang in his mind: they had fallen into a trap!

  Just as they were about to take advantage of the momentum and rush out of the camp, they saw countless torches lit up around the camp, and voices came from all directions: "Don't let Chen Xizhen escape! Capture Liu Huiniang alive!"

  Lu Junyi had realized something was amiss the previous night when no one came to surrender, so he didn't let his army rest and quietly led them out of the camp to set up an ambush. Sure enough, at midnight, Feng Hui led his troops right into their trap.

  Lu Junyi led the troops in a surprise attack, and saw that the people and horses of Yunmen Mountain were in great chaos, with countless people fleeing in all directions. Among them, a high-ranking general shouted loudly, but still could not stop the retreat.

  Lu Junyi's eyes lit up and he whispered: "This man must be a very important figure. Capturing him will bring great merit!"

  The wind saw Lu Junyi pat the horse and kill it. Without saying a word, he swung his nine-ring storm knife to chop, but was shaken back one step with the man and horse together.

  The wind will roar once, swing the knife and chop again. This time it will not retreat, being shocked to pieces.

  The wind was fierce, regardless of three seven twenty-one, and didn't ask where Lu Junyi's spear was pointing, chopping non-stop with his knife. He didn't want to live anymore, but Lu Junyi still wanted to preserve his own life, first exhausting his energy.

  Lu Junyi was slashed over a hundred times by him, but he couldn't find an opportunity to counterattack. The residual strength of Feng Hui's successor was finally insufficient, and after a slight pause, he immediately lost the initiative and was beaten by Lu Junyi's sudden and violent attack.

  Lu Junyi finally disrupted his formation, and with a sudden flash of the spearhead, he stabbed into Feng Hui's heart. Feng Hui grasped the spear with his left hand and thrust it deeply into his own heart, while with his right hand, he raised his sword and chopped down at Lu Junyi with unyielding bravery!

  "Lu Zei, go down to the Yellow Springs with Laozi!"

  Lu Junyi let out a cold laugh and with a mighty heave, lifted his massive body off the horse and sent it flying several feet away.

  The wind struggled to climb up, looked down and saw that a big hole had been broken in his chest, and the heart inside could be seen to have stopped beating. He knew he was doomed to die, and laughed: "Lu Zei, you are indeed skilled in martial arts, but even this can't kill you! However, don't think about capturing Chen Touling and Liu Junshi, they took advantage of my blocking you to go down the mountain and return to Qingyun Mountain!"

  He turned around and faced the direction of Qingyun Mountain, knelt down and shouted: "Daozi ah, brother will go first!" After finishing speaking, his body fell to the ground.

  Lu Junyi took a deep breath, respectfully saluting Feng Hui's corpse with his hands clasped together, saying: "Chen Xi is already doomed, what can running away accomplish?" He looked up to see that the battle at the foot of Yunmen Mountain was still raging on, but the bandits had lost their will to fight and were being slaughtered by the government troops, fleeing in all directions, some even kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

  Lu Junyi stopped two small soldiers and let them bury Feng Hui's body on the spot, which made it impossible for the enemy to find his body. How could Lu Junyi let him lie exposed in the wilderness?

  Chen Xizhen walked to Yunmen Mountain at night, bringing Liu Huiniang who was seriously ill and a dozen generals, with 5,000 elite soldiers following behind, rushing away.

  The crowd walked overnight through Daguanying, Bantielou and Suojiazhuang, and arrived at Dongzhuangjiamiao at dawn. Just as they were walking, the horses suddenly became frightened, stood up in unison, and many knights were thrown off their horses. Others desperately whipped their horses, but they refused to budge.

  Liu Huiniang sat in the carriage and sighed, saying to Chen Xizhen: "The bandits have arrived..."

  Chen Xizhen was also deeply worried, having thought of every possible scenario, but not this severe snowstorm. If it weren't for the heavy snow blocking the mountain roads and cutting off the grain supply, he wouldn't be in such a desperate situation.

  "Can it be that the bandit Wu is going with the heavens and the heavens are also helping him?"

  At this moment, Zuo Yiqing rushed over with an arrow in his arm and blood flowing profusely. As soon as he saw him, he burst into tears and exclaimed: "Father-in-law, Li Qing shot me!"

  Chen Xizhen was first furious, then overjoyed, saying: "Liqing is my daughter, I must be able to persuade her!" He brought a precious sword and came to the front of the formation with confidence. Looking around, he saw that in front of the East Manor's ancestral temple hung a huge bronze bell, shining with golden light, which was the stolen Jiuyang Divine Bell.

  In front of the big bell, thousands of troops with tiger and wolf flags. In the front were mechanical beasts, in the back were crossbow carts, further back were archers, hook spear men, over ten high-ranking generals, more than twenty sorcerers, under the central army's tiger tent, one person sat like a tiger on a dragon plate, it was precisely Wu Song the fierce bandit!

  In front of the array, there was another silver-armored young general, riding a mechanical beast back and forth, shouting and inviting battle, it was Chen Liqing.

  Chen Xizhen stepped forward, without even glancing at Chen Lijing, and said loudly: "Wu Guoshi, it's been a long time!"

  Wu Song saw Chen Xizhen, smiled slightly, walked down the tiger tent, and came to the front of the array. He said: "After parting in Dongjing, Daozi is still spirited and elegant, it can be seen that his cultivation has improved. Is Daozi willing to surrender?"

  Chen Xizhen chuckled and said, "If I were to surrender, it wouldn't be to you, but to the Emperor!" She glanced at Chen Lixiang and scolded with a straight face, "Mischievous little girl, what are you waiting for? Come here quickly!"

  Chen Liqing saw her old father, already nervous and uneasy, seeing his angry face made her even more frightened, she shivered with fear, lowered her head and was about to walk over.

  "Wu Song coughed and said: 'Li Qing, come over here!'"

  Chen Liqing hesitated for a moment, looked at Chen Xizhen, then looked at Wu Song, and was momentarily stunned, not knowing what to do.

  "Good child, come to your father's side. You are my daughter, how could I harm you? Raised by me myself, isn't that more intimate than with outsiders?"

  Chen Liqing still stood in place, at a loss for what to do.

  Chen Xizhen said, "As a father, I raised you and nurtured you. Is it not to have you oppose me? Good Liqing, good daughter, you repeatedly killed my great generals. These things I do not hold against you. Why did you almost shoot your cousin to death? And your husband Yongqing, since childhood betrothed to you, even he was almost shot by you. You are not following the proper path of a wife!"

  "You are the wife, but you are not only unfilial, but also unchaste! Li Qing, now is the time to turn back, or else in the future after death, you will be known as an unfilial, unchaste and unclean woman, pointed at by thousands of people and spat upon by tens of thousands!"

  Chen Liqing's face turned pale, her body swaying as if about to collapse. Chen Xizhen continued: "Now turn your head back, here not only is your father present, but also your sister and brother-in-law, your husband's family, your sister's husband's family... isn't it a joyful reunion? What on the other side is worth your lingering affection? A bandit, a group of demons!"

  Chen Liqing lowered her head and said something, Chen Xizhen was in a huff and didn't hear clearly, Chen Liqing said another sentence, only then did she hear it clearly.

  "Dad, why did you kill mom..."

  Chen Xizhen's mind was reeling, her hands and feet were icy cold, and she trembled as she said: "You actually knew... You were less than a year old at the time, how could you possibly remember..."

  He suddenly realized that Chen Lijing would learn to crawl all over the floor, and took his treasured Longhu Dan as a sugar gourd to eat, refining a pair of divine eyes.

  At that time, the ignorant infant lay in the cradle, using this pair of divine eyes to watch Chen Xizhen raise his sword and kill his own mother, watching him also raise his sword and make a gesture to split the cradle.

  When his mother's blood dripped into the cradle, that dazed and confused baby burst out laughing, innocent and guiltless.

  It was this innocent laughter that gave Chen Xizhen paternal love again, forgetting his daoist pursuits, putting down the butcher's knife, and embracing the infant with hands stained with his wife's blood.

  In the years to come, whenever Chen Xizhen was entangled in the karma of proving his way and had the intention to kill his daughter, he would see a smile as pure and innocent as hers, so pure that it made him unable to arouse the intention to kill.

  "So, you knew it back then when you were so young..."

  Chen Xizhen let out a deep sigh, without any guilt, and smiled at Chen Lijing: "When you smile, you look just like your mother. However, now that I've said it, I am after all your father, even if I did something wrong, I'm still your father. You shouldn't be against me, nor can you intend to kill your cousin, nor can you shoot and injure your husband. The kindness of parents giving birth to you is something you'll never be able to repay!"

  Chen Liqing raised her head and looked at him with a pair of extremely bright eyes, suddenly with a tone of relief, saying: "I'll give it to you!"

  Wu Song was originally waiting for Chen Liqing to make her own choice, but when he heard this, he immediately knew something was wrong and rushed up. His subordinates also rushed out, only to see Chen Liqing holding a sword horizontally against her own neck, shouting: "No one is allowed to come over!"

  Wu Song and the other generals all stopped in their tracks, only to see Chen Liqing take off her helmet and turn around with a smile: "Fifth Uncle, I love riding on your neck to buy sugar gourds. Being with you makes me feel so happy and joyful, happier than I've ever been..."

  Chen Liqing looked at Chen Xizhen: "How many times did I weigh when I was born?"

  Chen Xizhen also thought of what she had to do, her face changed color and then returned to normal, and she let out a faint sigh, saying: "Six or seven catties."

  Chen Liqing tore off the sleeve of her left arm, sword by sword, cutting away the flesh on her arm. Sweat dripped from her forehead as she endured the pain and asked, "Is it enough?"

  Chen Xizhen was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Not enough."

  Chen Liqing then tore off the clothes on her left leg and cut off the flesh on her left leg, saying: "Is that enough?"

  "That's enough." Chen Xizhen raised her head and looked at her eyes indifferently, saying: "Your pair of divine eyes have eaten my Dragon Tiger Pill..."

  Wu Song hastily rushed forward and just as he was about to hold the girl in his arms, Chen Liqing still struggled to dig out her eyes to return them to him.

  Wu Song hastily held her tightly, and saw that the little girl in his arms used her only hand to tightly grasp his collar, looked up and smiled: "Fifth Uncle, give him my eyes, and I won't owe him anything..." Before she finished speaking, she fainted.

  Wu Song was overcome with grief and burst into tears, carrying her back to the camp and hastily summoning a military doctor to stop her bleeding. But it couldn't be stopped.

  Wu Song gave Chen Xiuzhen a hateful glance and said, "Return to Qingzhou and get the best doctor for me!" Gong Sun'er hastily raised the wooden kite, Wu Song hugged Chen Liying and jumped onto the kite, and the two of them left first.

  The remaining army, carrying the mechanical beast crossbow car, slowly left, without even touching Chen Xizhen and others.

  Liu Huiniang saw the bandit army leave and finally let out a sigh of relief. She urged the driver to drive the horse carriage to the front of the formation, looked up and saw Chen Xizhen's expression as usual, looking at Chen Lixian who was still giving him blood and flesh, silently not speaking.

  "Liu Huiniang tried calling out: 'Uncle Chen, are you okay?'"

  Chen Xizhen spat out a mouthful of blood, her face suddenly turning deathly pale, as if she had aged ten years in an instant. She stroked her chest and wept, saying: "After all, it's my flesh and blood, how can I not feel heartache?"

  Liu Hui Niang remained silent for a moment before speaking softly, "Let's go, first to Qingyun Mountain to fetch grain and fodder, then attack Dengzhou, hold out until next year!"

  Chen Xizhen nodded, boarded the horse carriage, and the army marched towards Qingyun Mountain. Chen Xizhen's eyes were dim, looking in the direction of Qingzhou, his heart gloomy: "The last relative..."

  Wu Song returned to Qingzhou and immediately had all the doctors in Qingzhou arrested, ordering them to treat Chen Liqin's injuries. The doctors had never seen such severe injuries before and were at a loss for what to do. Wu Song angrily shouted: "Doctors who can't save people will be taken out and executed!"

  Gong Xian hastily grasped his hand and said, "These quacks can't treat such a serious injury. To cure Li Qing, we must invite the best doctor to come and treat her, which is the safest way. When I was young, I met a sister of Bian Que from the Qin family who came to my home to treat me for an illness. She could revive the dead and heal the bones. If we can invite her to come, Li Qing will not be difficult to cure."

  Qin Wan'er's whereabouts are uncertain, and I don't know where she is now either...

  Wu Song immediately assembled all the Taoist priests and ordered them to mobilize the power of the national hidden gate, they must find Qin Wanyi or any high-ranking doctor from the Qin family.

  "Swindle and cheat, but you must find that Qin Wan'er and bring her before me!"
