Chapter Fifty-Nine: Fraud and Hypocrisy

The people of the Yunnan Tuo tribe searched for dogs all the way on the west side of the Ou Tiao Mountain, rashly went north, and encountered Han soldiers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere was a huge disparity in numbers between the two sides, and the Qiang people were captured on the spot, and only four escaped in a panic and fled to the mound.

Du was shocked to learn that the leader of the other party was actually Duan Cheng, the assassin of Bingzhou who was called the "God of Killing in the Western Soil" by the Qiang people, so he discussed with the four Qiang soldiers to flee for his life. He remembered that Yin Changsheng had just boasted to him about the power of the feather fan, so he had a plan and immediately asked everyone to return to the mound.

Returning to the top of the mound, the four Qiang soldiers noticed the corpse of the Golden Bird King, thinking that they were so anxious that they couldn't care about anything.

Du Zhen pulled out the javelin that killed the king bird, and the head of the golden bird immediately slapped on the ground. He measured the bird's body, looked left and right, and made comparisons, as if he was rehearsing something.

At this moment, Yin Changsheng suddenly looked north and said, "They have arrived." ”

As soon as Yin Changsheng's voice fell, Du Zhen beckoned the four Qiang soldiers to lie down and hide behind the corpse.

Du Zhen secretly watched from behind the bird's head, and the trees in the mountains and forests hundreds of feet away shook the wind, and a crowd of hundreds of people jumped out in an instant. They were all armed with bows and crossbows, and each of them carried a long knife at their waists, and this weapon and clothing were the assembly of the Han soldiers. These people came out of the woods, and at first glance, they saw the river of blood, the pile of corpses, and the tragic death of hundreds of evil wolves and fierce birds, and they were all stunned in place.

In the crowd, Dian Tuo and more than 20 of his subordinates were all tied up by the Han soldiers, and they were all frightened by the scene in front of them.

At this moment, one person inspected the corpses of wolves and birds while walking, and with a wave of his hand, two or three soldiers pushed Dian Tuo in front of this person alone.

That man was going to talk to Dian Tuo. But because of the distance, Du Zhen couldn't hear it.

Du Zhen paid great attention to this person, and saw that he was in his prime, with a strong physique, wearing a two-tailed crane crown on his head, wearing crimson leather armor, and his expression was not angry and arrogant. Du Zhen said in his heart: It seems that this person is Duan Cheng! But how is he now dressed in military attaché attire?

From a distance, Duan Cheng was very majestic, Dian Tuo seemed to be extremely afraid of him, and he didn't know what Duan Cheng asked, so he shook his head again and again and knelt down. Du Zhen saw it in his eyes, was angry in his heart, and was annoyed that Dian Tuo ridiculed the Han people as dogs in front of him, but at this moment he became greedy for life and afraid of death.

Duan Gong pointed to the mound in the distance, and more than 100 people immediately drew out the long knives in their waists and marched on guard, guarding against the movements around them as they walked, but they were afraid that living creatures would suddenly appear, that is, undead wolves and birds. If one of these fierce birds and wolves survives, it will be a threat to their life and death.

The group of them was about to march to the midfield of the mound and the mountain forest, and a Han soldier seemed to be a small military attaché, and his personal guard was beside Duan Cheng. He looked at the golden light reflected on the top of the mound, and couldn't help but worry: "My lord, I'm afraid that this mound is not proper, I don't know if there will be any undead wolves and fierce birds in the future, why don't we go over." Adults have something to do, so get out of this dangerous place as soon as possible! ”

Because it was the sun, he couldn't see a giant bird lying on the top of the hill, but he was afraid that something would happen. Today, it is rare for wolves and birds to die in battle, and who knows what strange things will happen.

Duan Cheng's voice was hoarse but full of anger, extremely ruthless, and he replied with a sneer: "These beasts are not to be feared! Qiang talents are our great enemy. ”

The little military attache said cautiously: "My lord, just run away from four people, why should we chase after us?" You have a heavy responsibility this time, and your subordinates must not risk you making a mistake on the way to your appointment. ”

Duan Cheng snorted coldly and said, "In my opinion, these wolves and birds are just game. If we do meet a living person, we still have crossbow arrows in our hands, so we don't have to be afraid of them! He really had the guts, but after the little military attache was worried that there were still wolves and birds living on the mound, Duan Cheng was not afraid.

He continued: "Besides, if those four Qiang people run out of this mountain, the matter of my arrival in Lingju County will be known to the Qiang people of Liangzhou, so they will definitely take precautions, how can I do it again in the future?" It turned out that he secretly went to Lingju County in the north of Yuanyuan Mountain from Bingzhou, and when he passed through here, he ran into Dian Tuo and his party.

Now he was afraid that his coming to Liangzhou would be known to the Qiang people, so he took a lot of trouble to chase and kill.

As they spoke, they were already under the mound, when the soldiers in front of them suddenly shouted, "What kind of monster is this? "It turned out that what they saw was the skinned wolf demon whose flesh and blood were blurred. A few of the soldiers panicked until their long knives hit the ground, turned around and fled.

Seeing this, Duan Cheng pulled out the long knife in his waist and slashed a soldier who ran away head-on, and he also shouted: "It's just a giant wolf, it's dead, you are so flustered, what have you become?" With his actions, the soldiers were immediately frightened and did not dare to move again.

Duan Cheng pointed to the dead corpses of the soldiers on the ground, and said loudly: "Hmph, you are also my confidants and soldiers who have followed Duan Cheng for many years, why are you still so timid?" If anyone dares to take a step back, I will let you die with him!" ”

One hundred and ten soldiers knew that he had a violent temper, and no one dared to speak. Seeing his actions, Dian Tuo's legs trembled, and he said in his heart that he would not be able to survive today.

Du Zhen listened to him reprimand the soldiers from afar, and sighed in his heart and said: Duan Cheng is really a master of leading troops to fight, and military discipline is so strict. Yin Changsheng shook his head beside him and said softly: "This person's heavy anger, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the blessing of a good death in the future." ”

Du Zhen saw that he still had the heart to gossip about other people's strengths and weaknesses, so he asked him: "Uncle, whether we can survive in a while depends on you." ”

While they were talking, everyone in the lower part of the hill was looking at the body of the wolf demon.

A soldier said: "My lord, the skin on this giant wolf was cut by a knife and stripped off. Instead, he examined the wound on the wolf demon's body and found that it was a knife mark.

After he said this, everyone was shocked to realize that this examination of the dead and wounded was what the soldiers were good at, so he would never be mistaken, and everyone would not doubt it. But this skinning must have been man-made, so in this case, is it being killed? But who could kill such a wolf?

Just as they were bewildering the wolf demon, the little military attache who had been blinded by the golden light had been looking at the top of the hill. The autumn breeze blew, and the feathers on the king bird fluttered, and the little military attache finally recognized it and shouted: "My lord, there is a big bird on it!" But it was also because Wang Niao was too big, beyond his common sense, and he didn't see it in the morning.

When everyone heard this, they all looked up at the top of the hill, and sure enough, under the dazzling golden light, the feathers of the big bird were swaying in the wind, and a big bird lay on the ground motionless.

Duan Cheng didn't seem to be a living thing, and laughed: "I didn't expect there to be such a strange thing in the world, a giant wolf and a big bird each led the clan to fight, but they all died tragically." He could have explained it, but he had forgotten about the skin of the wolf.

The soldiers listened to the words of the adults, it was just a behemoth, and they were relieved. Dian Tuo also looked up at the giant bird on the hill, and secretly congratulated himself that he had not found this place, otherwise he would have strayed into the wolf's mouth or died in the belly of the bird.

Duan Cheng said in a loud voice: "There is nothing to fear now, brothers, quickly chase down the Qiang soldiers who have slipped through the net with me." "He is like the power of life and death in his hands, and he gives orders with great majesty.

The crowd was about to move, when the little military attache suddenly shouted, "My lord, the big bird is moving, it's ...... Not dead! ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Duan Cheng also raised his eyes again, fearing that the big bird was not dead, if such a huge strange bird killed someone...... He didn't dare to think further when he thought of this, his eyes were fixed on the big bird, and he didn't dare to blink.

After more than thirty breaths, Duan Cheng kicked the little military attache down with a flying kick, and he said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's obviously dead, it's just the wind blowing. But he saw only the feathers of the birds moving in the wind, and saw nothing else unusual.

The little military attache was aggrieved and argued: "I really saw it raise its head twice. ”

Duan Cheng said: "You said it is not dead, then you can go up and take a look." After he finished speaking, he looked at the Qiang soldiers again, and suddenly added: "You take Dian Tuo up." "He's really ruthless and scheming. I wanted the Qiang soldiers to go up to test, if it was really a live bird, it was the Qiang people who died, but he was afraid that if the big bird died, the Qiang people would be able to escape, so he asked the little military attache to personally escort Dian Tuo up, so as not to give Dian Tuo a chance.

The little military attache was afraid and didn't want to, so Duan Cheng touched his hand on his waist and made the gesture of pulling out the knife, the little military attache had to swallow the bitter water, hold the long knife in his hand, escort Dian Tuo forward, and tiptoe to the mound.

Dian Tuo felt wronged, how could he move his steps at the beginning, and he still yelled to replace individual Qiang people. How could Duan Cheng ignore him? Glaring at the little military attaché, the little military attache patted Dian Tuo's back with the back of the knife, even if it was the back of the knife, it was also patted that Dian Tuo had a knife mark on his body, and he had no choice but to climb up the mound.

When they climbed to a height of more than ten zhang and approached, the body of the King of Jin Xi trembled frequently, and its wings were also open.

When the two of them saw this change, they both collapsed to the ground in fright, and they got up and fled.

Who knew that Duan Cheng personally led more than 20 soldiers and followed behind the little military attache and Dian Tuo. He roared, "The great bird is not dead, but it is seriously wounded, so let's go up and kill it." Duan Cheng saw that the golden feather on Wang Bird's chest was stained with blood, and he thought that it must be seriously injured.

The petty military attache and the soldiers did not dare to step forward, but they also knew the fate of disobeying his orders, and did not dare to run away rashly, so they trembled in place. Seeing that Dian Tuo had nothing to do with himself, he was about to shrink back, and a soldier next to him kicked him to the ground.

Duan Cheng roared angrily: "It's all waste, give it to me, shoot it with a crossbow arrow." This time, he actually ordered all 30 or 40 people around him to be killed. In Duan Cheng's heart, he will only feel safe until the other party dies, although this big bird is injured and extremely terrifying, the more afraid he is, the more he wants to kill the other party to protect himself.

Everyone was so impressed by his obscenity that they had to get up and touch it.

The big bird seemed to be angered by them, and suddenly got up, two huge wings fluttered fanning, and immediately a strong wind struck, and the wind and sand rose all over the sky, and everyone on the hill was immediately blown into the sand and dirt, and they staggered, where could they still shoot crossbows, and they threw their crossbows and abandoned their knives, and shouted: "The divine bird is powerful, run." "Turn around and run.

Duan Cheng is not stupid, he knows that what he encounters today is not ordinary, and he also gets up and runs.

The Han soldiers and the captured Qiang soldiers under the hill saw it even more clearly, and when the big bird called the wind, they all shouted and fled in all directions.

Dian Tuo was tied up by five flowers, his body was not convenient, and when he was frightened, his legs were even more frightened, and he couldn't move at all, and he was afraid that the big bird would fly to eat him, and he was so frightened that he fainted.

Estimating that they had all run away, Du Zhen and the others crawled out from under Wang Bird. It turned out that several of him were committed to Wang Bird, and some of them fiddled with their wings; Some tickle the low-hanging bird's head; Some of them stand up on top of it under its belly. And Yin Changsheng waved a feather fan under the wings of the king's bird, creating a violent wind.

Du Zhen and the four Qiang soldiers were already sweating profusely, Yin Changsheng gently waved the feather fan to dissipate heat with everyone, and said with a smile: "Little brother, your trick to deceive the enemy with the power of the pseudo-king bird is admired." ”
