What were the beliefs of ancient people?

What are you fighting for? Who are you fighting for?

It is difficult for someone 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 explain it. Just like at this moment, he may not know what he is working so hard for.

Protecting the family and the country, justice and so on, these reasons are too grand and far-fetched. Wang Gui is just a soldier, he does not have such a high consciousness.

If you must find a reason, loyalty to Gu Qing is part of it, your feelings for Pao Ze are part of it, and the guilt of betraying Pao Ze and Gu Qing and becoming the court's spy is also part of it.

Humans are complex animals, and they have reasons for everything they do. Most of the reasons are not that simple, but very complex, such as Wang Gui's reason for fighting for his life.

Fighting hard just to be loyal and to save one's soul.

At this moment, Wang Gui couldn't think so far. 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 this enemy of the Marquis, we must at least hold him back until reinforcements arrive. This was the only thought in Wang Gui's mind.

There had been no movement on the roof for a while, and Wang Gui was not sure whether the enemy was still on the roof or had fled far away.

But his physical strength at the moment is only enough to support him to the roof. If the enemy has escaped, the sniper attack between him and Wang Laosan tonight will be a complete failure, and he will still lose half his life.

The door of the earthen house was ajar, and it was pitch dark inside. Wang Gui looked in through the window lattice under the eaves, and saw two corpses lying across the house. They couldn't see clearly. It was obvious that the sharpshooter had killed the owner and occupied the place.

room.

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 lattice, struggling for a long time.

Taking the stairs is too risky, and the enemy's arrows may be waiting for him. However, climbing to the roof from the outside takes too much energy. Wang Gui's physical strength cannot support such a huge expenditure. He is losing more and more blood. Next, he must save every moment.

He used his strength to drag him until the Hou Ye's reinforcements arrived.

He was in a very anxious mood, and life and death were no longer in his mind. Wang Gui's only thought at the moment was how to get rid of this enemy, no matter the cost.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Wang Gui found that there were two ways out of this earthen house. Like most residential houses, there was a front door and a back door. Wang Gui was currently in the yard of the front door, and there was a road on the north side of the earthen house.

Backdoor, if the enemy wants to escape, he has only these two options, unless he can fly.

In the distance, Wang Laosan's curses were still coming intermittently, until his voice became hoarse, and he was still chattering.

Wang Gui's face was dripping with cold sweat, and he gritted his teeth and cursed secretly. This bastard only knew how to curse. He didn't know that I was about to die, and he didn't even ask for reinforcements. If Wang Laosan came, one would seal the front door and the other

Seal the back door, no matter what the outcome, at least you have a chance.

There had been no movement on the roof for a long time, and Wang Gui was getting more and more anxious. He didn't know whether the enemy had run away or was calmly waiting for the opportunity to kill him.

In desperation, Wang Gui inadvertently saw a pile of firewood and sawdust piled in the corner under the eaves, which were used as fire starters for people to cook. Wang Gui was stunned, and then showed a hint of joy.

If no one closes the door, try another method.

Squatting down with difficulty, Wang Gui took out the fire stick from his arms, found a pile of flammable sawdust, piled firewood on top, blew out the fire stick, and lit the wood chips.

The fire slowly grew brighter and grew bigger. After the firewood was ignited, Wang Gui threw some burning firewood into the house, then held the pulled arrow in his hand and moved slowly towards the back door.

If a fire ignites the house and the front door is sealed by the fire, then the enemy's only escape route is the back door.

Wang Gui squatted on the corner outside the back door, like a hibernating old turtle, holding the arrow in one hand and covering the wound on his waist with the other, closing his eyes and resting, waiting for the decisive battle.

The fire in the house was getting bigger and bigger, flames were rising into the sky, there was movement in the houses outside, gongs were ringing, people were shouting for water, 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.

This formidable enemy is not invincible after all. As long as he guards the back door tonight, he will not be able to escape.

Soon, soft footsteps came from the back door. Wang Gui opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, and the wound seemed to no longer hurt. All the strength in his body was concentrated on his hands, which were tightly grasped.

An arrow.

Wang Gui only has the strength for one blow, so this blow must be steady and hard. If he misses this blow, he will be unable to deliver a second blow.

The soft footsteps were getting closer and closer to him. Hearing the sound, he had already reached the back door. Wang Gui arched his body in the darkness, like a cheetah aiming at its prey and preparing to attack. His whole person presented a very strange but fascinating feeling.

The frightening posture, that is the arrow that is about to leave the string, that is the killing trick that the peerless swordsman has been immersed in his whole life.

With tiny steps, Wang Gui could already feel the other party's slightly flustered mood.

Tonight's encounter was quite unexpected for both the enemy and us. Wang Gui was surprised to encounter such a difficult master, while the enemy was surprised by Wang Gui's unyielding will to die.

The duel between assassins and warriors constitutes a splendid picture of poetry and fire, as romantic as blood.

The enemy had already stepped out of the back door. In his panic, his sixth sense didn't seem to be that effective. He didn't notice Wang Gui hiding outside the back door.

Wang Gui also let go of the hand covering the wound. Looking at a thin figure appearing outside the back door, he suddenly grinned silently. Then, like a cheetah, he pounced forward and wrapped his arms tightly around the enemy's neck.

The arrow in the other hand swooped down without hesitation and penetrated into the enemy's abdomen.

The enemy was caught off guard and was attacked. Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. The pain was so painful that he couldn't help but let out a scream. Then he twisted his body and tried to break free from the hand holding his neck. However, the hand was very strong and held him tightly.

, refusing to let go.

Regardless of the ugly fighting posture, the enemy was kicked hard in the back like a bucking donkey. Wang Gui was kicked and he let out a groan, but the hand holding the arrow hit him hard.

The enemy's body twisted and drilled, the arrow entered the body a few times, and the enemy screamed again.

The two of them struggled, entangled, and fought with each other, fighting to the death.

In the end, both of them lost their strength and rolled on the ground.

When the enemy was about to continue struggling, he found that the hand holding his neck had been loosened, and Wang Gui underneath him had lost his 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 such a warrior with such a firm and unyielding will to fight appeared in this small border town. None of the dead soldiers raised by wealthy families had such a shocking and terrifying will.

What on earth is he planning?

Covering the wound on his abdomen, the enemy did not dare to pull out the arrow. Listening to the increasingly chaotic and approaching footsteps, he panicked and looked for a direction, preparing to escape from here.

As soon as I took a difficult step, I heard a calm and calm voice nearby.

"Surround the nearby residences and don't let anyone go. The Marksman Battalion goes in and searches for the whereabouts of the enemy. No matter dead or alive, find out that guy who is hiding his head and tail!"

"Han Jie, take the guards in and find Wang Gui and Wang Laosan!"

Upon hearing this series of orders, the enemy's eyes showed a trace of despair.

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 had just spread, and the Jiedushi Mansion quickly posted a notice to calm the people.

The notice stated that an enemy had sneaked into Kucha City to assassinate innocent businessmen, waiting for an opportunity to destroy the market in Kucha City, disturbing the hearts of merchants and people. After being arrested overnight by the Jiedu Envoy, the assassin had been captured by the garrison and was being interrogated. The businessman

People can sit back and relax and continue doing business and living.

In the barracks of the garrison camp, Wang Gui woke up from a coma and stared blankly at the white tent roof.

Wang Gui's face was still ugly, so pale that there was no trace of blood. Two doctors accompanying the army were sitting in the tent, dozing off with their chins propped on their hands. After a whole night of rescuing, the two doctors looked at Gu Qing, Han Jie and others with murderous gazes.

Next, he risked his life and finally saved Wang Gui.

Although he was saved, Wang Gui lost too much blood and had to stay in bed for a long time. He also needed various blood-replenishing drugs and food to recover.

Seeing Wang Gui open his eyes, Wang Laosan, who was guarding next to him, immediately shouted in surprise.

"Bitch, you finally came to life!"

Wang Gui glanced at him blankly, opened his mouth and murmured a few times, and found that he could not make a sound. He was so weak that he did not even have the strength to speak.

Wang Laosan got up and ran outside the camp, shouting and yelling everywhere.

The two doctors were also awakened, and hurriedly came in front of him to check his complexion, and even raised their eyelids to look at his pupils. The other doctor checked his pulse for a while, and then took a long breath. The two doctors looked affirmative, and then gave each other a wry smile.

.

Now that Wang Gui is alive, they can do their job, otherwise they are really afraid that Han Jie and the group of personal guards will eat them alive.

The curtain of the camp tent was opened, Gu Qing walked in quickly, sat in front of Wang Gui, and opened his eyelids as usual to take a look. Although he couldn't understand what he saw,... this was usually the procedure for visiting the wounded, and he didn't know what to do with his eyelids.

What can be seen in it.

"Just come back alive. Haha, Wang Gui, you are really lucky. You have been through life and death disasters twice. I doubt whether you have the aura of a protagonist. You have shed so much blood and you haven't died yet..." Gu Qing laughed.

road.

Wang Gui tried his best to squeeze out a smile. Although he didn't understand what "protagonist halo" meant, seeing that the Marquis was so happy, it shouldn't be a bad word.

Seeing that Wang Gui seemed to be trying hard to open his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, Gu Qing waved his hand and said: "Don't be in a hurry to speak. You take good care of yourself. I have ordered people to buy blood-enhancing medicinal materials from Hu Shang. Don't worry, you won't die."

, a little bleeding is nothing, but the wound on the waist is a bit troublesome, it seems to have hurt the internal organs..."

Wang Gui said vigorously: "Last night... the enemy..."

"The enemy has been captured by us and captured alive. The sharpshooters in our army are no weaker than him, especially since he was seriously injured. Last night our sharpshooters shot him in the alley with an arrow.
