Chapter 19: The Night Horse Returns
"Is he?"
After Chu Ye left, Li Xiaokuan asked.
"Chu Zhiyun, the great prince. β
Su Yi whispered in Li Xiaokuan's ear.
Chu Zhiyun used to be the prince of Chu, but because of a drunken gaffe, he was impeached by the officials, and he has been shrinking in Wangbei City all these years, drinking and having fun all day long, even if it was the funeral of the old King of Chu.
But there are still officials in the court and China who support him in these years, just because he is a direct member of the Chu royal family. Any country is only qualified to be a monarch if it has the purest blood of its royal family.
"How did you come to know him?"
"I met in this drunken fairy building, chatted a few words, and then drank a few times together. β
"Don't look at his unusual identity, in fact, he doesn't have much of a fight, and I heard that he tried his best to oppose the Qin Order, but failed, and in a fit of anger, he ran to this Wangbei City to drink wine for many years. β
Li Xiaokuan nodded, it seemed that not everyone in the Chu State was hostile to the Qin State.
"Actually......"
Su Yi lowered her voice.
"In fact, in recent years, there have long been voices of dissatisfaction with the extermination of Qin in various countries, and most of the people think that there is no need to exterminate the Qin State, after all, the five countries have coexisted for hundreds of years and thousands of years, and their ancestors have more or less several Qin people or have an inextricable relationship with the Qin people. β
"At the beginning, our young people in the Qin State liked to wander around the most and make a wide range of friends, after the incident, although many young talents returned to China to die, but some were saved through the families of local friends, and they also secretly got in touch with us over the years. β
"So ......"
"So we're not slumped, it's not that we don't have no chances!"
Su Yi's voice was very soft, but there was a strange light in her eyes.
"What we lack now is a leader. β
"So we're waiting, waiting for His Highness Feiyu to come back with the national transport, and then we won't have to send people under the fence and live wearing a mask. β
......
......
Li Xiaokuan listened very carefully, and the young man in front of him kept telling him that he hoped for the existence of this thing.
It's just that all the hopes he mentioned can't be avoided by three words, Qin Feiyu.
But what he didn't know was that this man, who pinned the hopes of all the remnants of the Qin State, would not come back.
............
......
"Xiao Su, where did you go with Xiao Li?"
As soon as the two of them returned, Yang Kui's loud voice shouted again.
"Xiao Li. Yang Kui put his hand on Li Xiaokuan's shoulder, and his eyes suddenly became serious.
"Lao Yan told me about you, and I have already criticized him. β
Li Xiaokuan was a little confused, so he heard Yang Kui continue.
"You remember, some things can be endured, and some things can't. At the beginning, we endured it, but there was no way, but now we have the ability to quietly bite off a piece of other people's meat, why should we endure it?"
"Lao Yan beats the child without a father or mother, I haven't tasted the taste of losing a loved one, you have to understand. But my old Yang has tasted it, most of you have tasted it, and some have even tasted it more than once or twice. β
Yang Kui waved his hand and pointed back, Li Xiaokuan looked down and found that many people's eyes were red.
"We tasted it seven years ago, why should we taste it seven years later?"
"Still in a meeting?"
"Our compatriots, comrades-in-arms, and brothers' relatives are going to be killed right under our noses, and we're still fucking here!"
"The compatriots outside continue to die tragically, we don't pick up the knife, but sit here for a meeting, after the meeting, my Daqin's revenge can be avenged?"
"Fuck it!"
Yang Kui's forehead was bruised.
"Whoever you love to open it, my old Yang is not subject to this nest, who is willing to stand up with me!"
Everyone in the room stood up in unison, and Su Yi opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she shook her head silently.
"You don't need so much, just follow me. β
Yan Liang sighed helplessly, he still knew Yang Kui's temper, he had been shouting every day to go out to fight all these years, and he was stopped by everyone every time.
But this time......
Yan Liang glanced at Li Xiaokuan.
It doesn't seem necessary anymore.
"Let's go, Xiao Li, change your clothes, big brother will support you!"
Li Xiaokuan's head was caught under Yang Kui's armpit, and he staggered forward with his waist hunched.
He sniffled.
The nose is so sour.
......
......
"Yoda, have you dug the new tunnel?"
Yoda in Yang Kui's mouth is a tall, thin man who talks little, loves to laugh, and shows two rows of big white teeth when he laughs.
"It's done, it was just done yesterday. β
"Okay, it's very efficient. β
Yoda smiled and didn't say much.
"Chai Yuan, Milly, you two go back and bring the guys first, and let's gather outside the city when the time comes." β
The two of them then left first.
"Yoda, you take them through the new tunnel, and I'll go to my shop and bring my baby. β
"Good. β
Follow Yoda to a bungalow on East Street, where what they call a new secret passage is hidden.
The passage was long, and the dirt on the side of the wall was still a little wet.
"A few days ago, many secret passages were sealed, and this one was rushed out for emergency use. β
Out of the tunnel, it's a stable.
At a cursory glance, it is estimated that there are about a dozen horses, and the air is filled with the smell of horse manure.
"Go in and sit down and wait for them to come. β
Yoda wanted to open the door with the key, but Yan Liang stopped, "No need, just wait outside." β
"Okay, I'll go prepare the horses. β
In less than a quarter of an hour, the three of them arrived one after another.
The first to arrive was Chai Yuan, carrying a long knife on his back, which exuded a rich yellow light in Li Xiaokuan's eyes.
The second is Milley, with a long sword at his waist, but the yellow light on it is slightly inferior to Chai Jin's long knife.
"Are you all together?"
Before you see him, you hear his voice first.
Yang Kui came with a spear, and there was a faint blue light on the tip of the spear.
"Yoda, don't go, stay here and watch the family. β
"Hmm. β
Then Yoda came out with five large horses, one for each of them.
"Chai Yuan, did you bring the token?"
"Brought it. β
"Okay, Xiao Li, from now on, the four of us will all obey your command and be your thugs!"
"Thank you......"
Maybe it was blown by the cold wind, Li Xiaokuan felt that his nose was so sour.
"Why, let's go!"
The five men turned on their horses and spurred out.
At night outside the city, the wind is whipped by horses' hooves.
Five people and five horses, breaking through the wind, did not stop for a moment.
......
......
In the mountain road, there was a squad of ten people of the Chu State light armor soldiers who had just executed a group of people suspected of being from the Qin State in a small town near the northwest of the Chu State today.
Now I'm on my way to the next location.
"Wow......"
Suddenly, there was a rush of horses' hooves on the silent mountain road.
"Alert!"
The leading soldier immediately stretched out his hand to signal the group to stop.
The soldiers immediately formed a battle formation in the direction of the sound of horses' hooves.
"Phewβ"
With a long neigh, the five horses stopped not far from them.
"Wangbei City Criminal Department handles the case, and the idle people make way. β
The leader held up a token and said loudly.
The lead soldier looked displeased, but gave the order to get out of the way.
The five men paced and were about to pass through.
"Not true. β
The leading soldier suddenly realized that except for the leader who was somewhat presentable, the other four people did not look like they were from the Criminal Department.
"It's an enemy !!"
The lead soldier turned his head and yelled, but it was too late.
The man at the head swung his long knife and cut off the heads of the soldiers beside him, driving all the way in, slashing two more people in succession.
He was about to leave, but his body flew flat on the ground, and when he looked down, he saw that a spear had already sunk into his chest, and it was not until he fell to the ground that the sound of the breaking wind had just sounded.
A soldier saw that in just a moment, several people had died in a row, and his heart was full of bones, but he still wanted to fight with a knife, but as soon as he took a step, he felt a cold in his neck, and then lost consciousness.
Li Xiaokuan sat on the horse and was dazzled.
Chai Yuan brandished a big knife, and if he went down, there would be a person with a different head.
Yang Kui's spear is invincible, and piercing the armor of those soldiers is as easy as pricking tofu with a needle.
Milley's swordsmanship is extraordinary, and usually the other party doesn't even see the shadow of the sword clearly, and he is killed by several swords.
As for Yan Liang, to be honest, if it weren't for Li Xiaokuan's eye of connoisseurship and being able to see the light on the blood-drawing sword, he wouldn't even be able to find Yan Liang anywhere, but would only see a soldier fall inexplicably.
Such a crisp and neat method of killing people is chilling.
"Chai Yuan, you're too unkind. β
Yang Kui pulled the spear out of a corpse and opened his mouth to complain.
"Leave a few for us, but we didn't kill it. β
Chai Jin had a faint smile on his face and shook his spear.
"Don't talk about that, it's important to hurry. β
"It's about, let's go. β
