Chapter 17 The Fallen Tyrant

The group hid in an abandoned beacon near the border city.

Fang Wenqing went out for a while every day to bring back news and food.

Su Wen has been busy for many days in a row and also needs to rest. Life is simply eating, sleeping, training, hunting.

On this day, Su Wen sat on the top of the half-collapsed beacon, looking at the vast grassland, but he didn't know where the road ahead was. Thinking of yourself is considered to have killed someone? According to the routines in movies and television, for an ordinary person, killing people is not an ordinary thing, and he should have nightmares or be full of guilt or something. Why does this kind of thing have no effect on the mind or the physiology, and it is like stepping on a few ants. I also made sure that I didn't have a phobia of post-war trauma, and that I should have been born with a love of fighting and enjoyed fighting.

The only thing I can't figure out is the surprise of how easy it is to kill. Could it be that there has been a change in reaction speed and body explosiveness? Will he become a superman? In the next few days, as soon as Su Wen had free time, he repeatedly assessed his physical condition, but unfortunately there was no equipment to make a quantitative comparison.

Huang He accompanied Su Wen to train every day, and was quite interested in Su Wen's various novel training methods, and he was very happy to practice.

On this day, the two of them finished their daily training, lying on the grass by the river and chatting, Huang He was exhausted from practice, looked at the sky and asked: "Where did you learn such a strange method? Why do you only practice the body and not the weapon?"

"Where are we strange, we are not allowed to carry weapons casually, we can only train our bodies to be stronger, everyone practices like this, and there are many ways to accumulate over time. Hey! It seems that I am also going to learn some weapons, and I will not go into the white blade empty-handed, and I am afraid that there will not be many opportunities to fight hand-to-hand with people in the future. Su Wen bit a grass root, his eyes full of confusion.

Seeing that the two of them had finished practicing, Su Mei hurriedly ran over, stood at the feet of the two with her hands behind her back, pouted and sighed: "Alas... It's not fun at all, and they say they're going to wait, I don't know what to wait for? It's just practice every day, isn't it boring?"

The two knew that she was bored, and Huang He didn't dare to provoke her, so he turned his back to her and pretended to be asleep. Su Wen couldn't escape, and said, "Alas! Let me tell you, the body is getting stronger and stronger the more you practice, how can you be lazy. ”

"Cut, you're already strong, they call you two demons behind their backs. Warcraft can't beat you. What kind of strength do you still practice? "I've been idle for a few days, and I don't have anything to talk about, Su Mei just has nothing to say.

Huang He couldn't help but say: "Where is there such an exaggeration? I'm just born with a little more strength than a person." If I were given a good set of armor and an artifact, I think I would be able to smash the monster to death. After speaking, he glanced at Feng Sui eagerly, he never forgot the horse lance that Lu Wei promised, and only hoped to get it as soon as possible.

A thought flashed through Su Wen's mind, could it be that in the world of cold weapons, it really only needs to be a little stronger? Su Wen compared himself with the people in this world, and concluded that the physical fitness trained by modern methods is more suitable for the needs of actual combat. Whether it is speed or power skills, it is the direct purpose of knockdown, and there is more actual combat training. As long as you don't use weapons, you are naturally stronger than the people here.

Su Wen was a little happy: So, I'm really a monster? That is to say: the so-called "demon" is actually not unusual, it is just a better combination of body and actual combat, which happens to be the era of cold weapons, which infinitely magnifies this advantage.

........

On this day, when he had nothing to do, Su Wen lurked in the grass at the downwind of the river, holding a bow and arrow, quietly waiting for the prey to come to the river to drink water. The creek is not wide, the slope on the opposite bank is gentle, and there are many animal hoof prints on it. It is estimated to be a drinking ground for prey. After waiting for a while, a herd of deer grazing slowly came over, and a small deer first watched the surroundings vigilantly, and did not see any danger, so he ran to the river and lowered his head and began to drink. According to Huang He, the prey is at its worst vigilant at this time. Because you have to spread your front hooves and lower your head to drink water, the reaction is slow, which is the best time.

Su Wen resisted the impulse, and slowly pulled the bow apart little by little, avoiding the sound of the bow from alarming the prey. With a "whoosh", the feather arrow was inserted into the prey, and he had jumped up when he heard the sound of the bowstring, but unfortunately he was still a little slower to react, and the prey ran away with the bow and arrow for a while. Fall on your knees on the prairie. The deer were frightened and ran away.

Su Wen clenched his fist with one hand and yelled "Yay!!" It was a perfect hunt. Although he has never practiced archery, hunting relies on his latent ability. If you can't get the right head, you can shoot at close range.

Huang He rode a horse to take the prey away, and when he came back, he said to Su Wen's bow and arrow: "I have nothing to teach you about hunting.... You're about to break this bow. I've got to find you a hard bow and replace it with an armor-piercing heavy arrow, and let's go hunt bison when we go back, that thing has thick skin and strength, and it will be hard to fight. ”

Back at Fengsui, the two of them went to toss everyone's bows again, and Su Wen felt that each one was lighter. The power of this bow is staggering.

In addition to chatting with Su Wen, Su Mei is inseparable from Princess Xiang Yang, and the princess allows her a lot of pastels and clothes every day. Su Mei gradually forgot all kinds of household goods that she couldn't bring out in the academy.

Song Qingqing helped the wounded change their dressings, and every day he watched Su Wen and the Yellow River train and hunt with Lu Wei. Sorrow is not diminished by a point.....

In the evening of that day, the young man with the injured leg who was in charge of the guard gave a warning and saw a puff of smoke and dust in the distance. Shaoqing shouted: "My own people are back." ”

The horse team got closer, and sure enough, Fang Wenqing and the female archer came back, followed by a large horse team, the zebras were black and white, and the dust was flying. Dismounted, Fang Wenqing pondered the news he brought back, and beckoned the knight on the horse.

Su Wen glanced at the city wall: Xiao Liu, Lao Zhu.... With a large number of people, there was actually Song Guo, who helped him pay his food stamps and enter the city that day?

Fang Wenqing sat down, waited for a breath, and said with a saliva: "The demon beast is here!"

This message had a huge impact, and everyone quickly sat around.

"On the night of the banquet, a demon beast attacked four fortresses in the border city. The beacon fire was lit, so we didn't see the city guards. The next day the city gathered men, but the gang ran away. Saying that, Xiang Xiao Liu and Lao Zhu raised their chins.

These people smiled awkwardly, and Xiao Liu muttered: "It's not because of you." ”

"Without them, the border city militia was also chaotic, and it was not until yesterday that more than 3,000 people were dispatched. I don't know how the battle went. Today, those who stayed behind are preparing soldiers, horses, food and grass. The caravan's cart has also been changed to a flying castle, but there is one less immortal master, and I think only half of it can rise today. The second group will leave this afternoon or tomorrow at the latest. ”

Fang Wenqing glanced at Lao Zhu: "You can tell me about the things in the city." ”

Lao Zhu is the leader of the knife and axe, a black and strong man who looks loyal and honest.

"We've been staying in the small civil fort, and we didn't wait for you, we only received a message from Fang Daxia yesterday. We slipped back into the city to take a look, and last night there was a lot of chaos in the city, and it seemed that the city government meeting had not been negotiated. The White Deer Academy released the Royal Beast out, fought with the Chamber of Commerce, and robbed half of the Chamber of Commerce's cart, and then pulled some city guards to prepare to reinforce the outer fortress. ”

Lao Zhu took out a water bag and drank saliva, and continued: "There are still some people who have the opinion that they should all withdraw to the city. The commander of the city guard has not appeared for several days, and Fang Daxia and we are here, which means that the city guard and the militia have no one to command, and they are all in chaos. It is estimated that the leader of the Chamber of Commerce has run away in advance, and now only the rangers from all walks of life are leading people to do their own things. The city government announcement was a mess and fought with each other. Ordinary people don't know what to do. We took advantage of the chaos to go in and out of the city, and no one cared. By the way, I didn't even see the "Sea Fishing Notice" about the murder that night!! It seems that the whole thing passed silently, I inquired, no one has heard of the fight, I am afraid that this matter is not over, there must be a group of people behind it. ”

Lao Zhu pointed to the female archer again and said, "This woman went to the post house and no one stopped her." Brought back your people and belongings. We don't know what to do next...."

"Do you want to be so hypocritical? It's strange that you don't know? Song Guo is so big that he can't fit you?" Su Mei scolded with a smile.

Lao Zhu pretended to smile embarrassedly, and called out to the group to salute Song Gongzi and said, "Thank you Song Gongzi." ”

Song Qing hurriedly returned the salute: "It's Song Mou, thank you for your righteous help, even the heroes have no home to return to, Song Mou is ashamed, you don't have to worry, you must thank you when you return to Song Kingdom." ”

Fang Wenqing also stood up and said: "Song Gongzi is a righteous person, and all righteous people were deceived by traitors and almost made a big mistake. Fortunately, he was touched by Song Gongzi's virtue and talent, and abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. The national disaster is coming, and it is a blessing to include heroes from all walks of life. "Bow solemnly with all of you.

Su Meixin said: The virtue and talent of the fart are not scared by me. The old lady is a righteous person, Fang Wenqing, you kid is a set of sycophants, why do you have a straight face with this girl? Song Qing is also hypocritical, people have killed a lot of you, so forget it? Pouted and ran away.

Lu Wei suddenly stood up and bowed his hand to Song Qing and said, "Song Gongzi, a certain is the Sima of the Song Kingdom." It shouldn't have been involved in court disputes. Although the matter of the leopard demon was strange and suspicious that day, I didn't ask about it, but I just arranged another group of soldiers and horses to meet it, and I could go to Liubao a hundred miles away in the near future. However, I can't help but be involved in it. Deeply ashamed of the king, after returning to the king of Song, he resigned from his position to the king of Song and led the general family to leave the national capital. In the future, I will ask Song Gongzi and Princess Xiangyang. After speaking, he fell to the ground.

Song Gongzi and Mrs. Xiang Yang glanced at each other, raised their eyebrows, and hurriedly bowed to Lu Wei.

Su Wen and Huang He were lying on the top of the city wall, looking confused, and Huang He said: "What are these people doing? Why do you come here to worship and worship? Do we have to go down and worship too?"

Su Wenxin said: Eight achievements are palace fighting dramas. I can't even watch this kind of TV series, how do I know what's going on? Thinking about it, he couldn't be too detached from the masses, so he said to the Yellow River: "Since everyone worships, we will also worship." ”

Huang He thought it made sense, and asked, "Who to worship first?"

Rub, Su Wen was asked angrily. You idiot, you actually asked me? The normal situation depends on the size of the official position, right? Who worships whom first? Song Gongzi is the prince, Princess Xiang Yang is the princess, and the princess is the prince's aunt. Yes, he said, "Worship my aunt first." ”

"Auntie?"

"Forget it, you follow me. Su Wen felt that if he continued to talk about it, he would be dragged down by this product. Pulling the Yellow River and jumping down. First bow to Princess Xiangyang, and then go to the temple to offer incense, worship when you see the Bodhisattva, and be very busy.

Everyone originally had their own plans, and when they saw the two of them coming to worship, they could only return the salute to the two demon kings without embarrassment, but the routine that should have been disrupted by the two demon kings.

Fang Wenqing coughed, and finally drew his attention away from the two of them. said: "Since we are determined to assist Song Gongzi with one heart and one mind, we should first sort out our thoughts and then make plans." After speaking, he looked at Song Qing.

Song Qing pondered for a moment: "More than a month ago, someone went to the book, there was a vision in the sky between Song, Liang, and Wei, and there were immortal masters passing by but the Taoism was unstable. I'm afraid it's the monster that is doing it, calculate the time, and the national disaster is coming. I was afraid of causing Liang and Wei to panic for no reason, so we were ordered by my father to travel lightly and easily to check the situation between Liang and Wei. ”

After a pause, his expression was slightly lonely: "Liu Han has been my companion since he was a child, his family background is prominent, and his father is also a high-ranking official. Because the border city is located between the Song, Wei and Liang lands, some of the border cities are deeply involved with the Song Dynasty, so they passed by the border city for a few days a few days. Liu Han heard that the leopard demon was infested nearby, and a few of us went to check, which was the day we got acquainted. Today, it seems that this matter may have profound implications. ”

Fang Wenqing received: "No one can instruct the demon beast, that is to say, the leopard demon has been assembled in large numbers in the border city for a few days. Neither I nor the city guards have heard from me, nor have the caravan guards been alerted. I'm afraid that someone will cover up the news and use false news to lure you forward, and use the hands of demon beasts to commit murder. Although we have no enemies in the border city, I am afraid that I will be guilty, Sumei is famous, and the Yellow River has been in dispute for a long time, and some people have recommended me to be the commander of the city guard. In this way, the authority of the White Deer Academy in the border city is too great. The city government originally informed Su Mei and Huang He to participate in the investigation, and the academy may be alert and urgently ordered me to support. It can be seen that someone wants to cut off the arm of the academy but is not ready to kill them all, this must be done by people in the border city. ”

"If we die together, the border city will naturally use the excuse that it has suffered heavy losses, so as to get away with the suspicion of this matter. In this way, he showed Song Guo that this incident was an accident. It's really calculated, I'm afraid that you Song Guo is the mastermind behind the scenes. Su Mei huffed and said, "Fang Wenqing, did you know that there was a problem?" Almost killed us!"

"It was just speculation at the time. Later, I persuaded everyone to defect to Song Gongzi, but I was also worried that the enemy in the border city would be dark and clear, and sooner or later there would be some trouble. Fang Wenqing explained.

"And such a thing? I originally knew that the three of you were the pillars of the border city, and I didn't dare to make a move. If you know this, you don't need to hesitate. Lu Wei and Song Qing looked at each other and laughed.

Huang He listened impatiently and picked up a board axe. He said angrily, "Who hurt me? I went and cut off his head." Who's going with me?" After a moment, he turned back and asked, "Do you know who it is?"

Fang Wenqing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "That day, Lao Zhu caught the leader of the Chamber of Commerce, this person must have a share, wasn't he cut down by you?

Huang He knew that what he had done was wrong, and he was most afraid of people mentioning it, so he hurriedly said no more.

Princess Xiang Yang could only stay on the soft collapse, and she didn't speak for a while, and during the conversation, her sorrow gradually unfolded, and she whispered: "In this way, it may not be what that person meant, we still have a chance." I asked myself if there was still some strength in the Xiangcheng realm, let's not go back to the Song capital first, and then go to Xiangcheng. ”

Song Qing's spirit was a little uplifted when he heard this, and he nodded: "That's fine, go back to Xiangcheng to check Liu Han's henchmen first, maybe there will be clues." ”

Princess Xiangyang raised her hand to beckon Su Mei over, took her hand and said, "Sister, the road is far away, and I am afraid that it is not safe on the road." Sister, there are some things here that they just brought out, you take them to play with first, and when you return to Xiangcheng, you will have as many as you want. As soon as he finished speaking, someone brought two boxes.

Sumei was elated, and the vermilion painted box looked antique, with two painted straps. It feels very light and obviously valuable, and when I open it, I see a gold silk embroidered vermilion carpet, and when I open the blanket, there are rows of demon pills neatly placed in the grid. Looking at Su Mei's widening eyes and the saliva at the corners of her mouth, you can know the power of this sugar-coated cannonball.
