Chapter 1040: The Literati's Heart Has No Ruler, and the Martial Artist Knife Loses Its Sheath (1)
The hour had long since passed, and the missing moon hung in the western sky, quietly shedding its light.
The thin silver glow did not provide much visibility, and six night walkers walked along the side of the official road, all dressed in black, with a rather upright pace. Because there were too few people walking at this time, Ning Ji took a few more looks, and he had a familiar feeling of the shape and pace of two of them. He hid behind a tree on the side of the road and peeked at it for a while.
Two...... At least one of them had followed Steward Wu to the inn during the day. At that time, he was already in the mood to beat people, so the first thing Ning Ji identified was whether these people's efforts were stable and what the strength base was. There are not many things that can be judged in a short moment, but the pace and physical characteristics of one or two people are also roughly remembered.
At this time...... Heading in this direction?
When he suddenly realized a certain possibility, Ning Ji's mood was so stunned that he was almost shocked, and it was not until the six of them walked over while talking that he shook his head slightly and followed all the way.
The six people who traveled together were all armed with long knives, bows and arrows, and although their clothes were black, the style was not sneaky night clothes, but short costumes that could also be seen during the day. The roads outside the city at night were not suitable for horses, and the six probably did not ride because of this. As they walked forward, they were talking in the local dialect about the little girl and the little widow's parents, and they would rather not understand part of it, because the content was too vulgar and vernacular, it didn't sound like the feeling in a green forest story, but like the vulgar nonsense of some farmers when no one was in private.
In the night breeze, you can faintly smell the faint smell of alcohol on several people.
The emotions in Ning Ji's heart were a little chaotic, and the anger came up, spinning and going down.
The past day has made him feel angry, just as he asked in front of Steward Wu, the chief surnamed Xu is a bully for men and women, not only does he not feel that he has a problem, but also dares to threaten his side, "I remember you". His wife was angry that her husband was looking for a woman, but when she saw the tragic situation of Sister Xiuniang and Uncle Wang, she was actually not moved in the slightest, and even felt that her people's shouting made her feel bad, shouting "drive them away".
At the time of the incident, it could be said that she was carried away by anger, but then the person surnamed Wu came over...... In the face of Sister Xiu Niang and herself, who may be ruined for a lifetime, she can still say arrogantly, "You have to leave today."
Can't you apologize for doing something wrong?
Of course, now is the time for war, and some such arrogant people have power and have nothing to say. Even in the Huaxia Army, there will be some people who are not very reasonable and unreasonable, and they often have to argue three points if they are unreasonable. But...... I beat someone, I almost killed someone, I almost raped a woman, I went back and drove people away, and I sent someone out again at night, what is this for?
Make a clean sweep of?
These people ...... Do you really think of yourself as an emperor?
He followed it with this anger, but then it gradually turned low. One of the people walking in the back was obviously a hunter before, and the word of mouth was a little short, and the middle one looked honest, burly but had no foundation in martial arts, and the pace seemed to be accustomed to planting fields, and the voice of the voice seemed simple, and the six people probably had simply practiced some military formations, three of them had practiced martial arts, and one of them had simple traces of internal skills, and his pace was slightly steady, but just looking at the voice of speaking, he only looked like a simple country peasant.
And most importantly...... Don't drink alcohol before doing this!
Ning Ji shouted in his heart.
Since the purpose of their trip was not mentioned in the speeches of the six people, it was difficult for Ning Ji to judge for a moment that they had done such a thing as killing people in the past - after all, this matter was so vicious that even a person with a slight conscience might not be able to do it. A group of scholars who were powerless did not offend anyone when they arrived in the county seat, and Wang Jiang's father and daughter did not offend anyone, but now that they have been made like this and driven away, how can they do more things?
There was such a story in the script, but everything in front of me has nothing to do with the bad guys and chivalrous people in the script.
After walking like this for a while, Ning Ji thought about it, took a few stones, and made a movement in the mountains and forests on the side of the road.
The six people on the side of the road heard the small noise and stopped.
"Who-"
The first one shouted on the side of the road, they had been walking swaggeringly, but at this moment, they were extremely wary of the possibility of someone on the side of the road.
Naturally, there was no answer in the woods, and then there was a strange, whimpering wind, like a wolf howling, but it sounded too far away and therefore distorted.
"W-Who ......?"
"Go see ......"
"Get out!"
Several people looked at each other, and then there was a burst of shouting, and someone rushed into the forest to inspect it, but the forest was very small, and in the blink of an eye they walked through it several times, and found nothing. The sound of the wind gradually stopped, the sky was high with moonlight, and the forest shadows were silent.
The six of them inspected several times to no avail, and met on the side of the road to discuss, and someone said, "It can't be a ghost, right?" ”
"Nonsense, where in the world are ghosts!" The leader scolded, "It's the wind, look at your virtue." ”
After such a toss, everyone didn't have the heart to talk about the little girl and the little widow for a while, and turned around and continued to move forward. One of them said: "You say, are those scholars really staying in Tangjiaji?" ”
Everyone walked forward, no one answered for a while, and after a moment of silence, someone seemed to break the embarrassment and said: "It's just such a road to the south of the mountain, where can you stay if you don't stay in Tangjiaji?" ”
There was another moment of silence.
"They've offended people, won't they go far? Just so ignorant? ”
Silent.
"Don't forget, they still have wounded people in their carriage, and they can't get there. What's the matter, you're wrong? ”
"Who's wrong? Which time did Lao Tzu do it? I just think that these dead brains who read books don't understand human feelings too much......"
"It's stupid to read, that's all."
“…… Speaking of which, the kick that Wu Ye kicked in the store today is really beautiful. ”
"That is, you young people don't understand, kicking the stool away, it's very simple, but kicking it up, and then sweeping it in front of you, that's really a lot of work...... I'm here to hear to you, that's because the stool is in the air, and I can't borrow strength at all...... Even more, the stool in Mo Gang was already hard......"
"Haha, the people who read at that time, that face turned white with fright......"
"I also said that I was going to sue the official, but I didn't sue after all."
"It's still sensible."
“…… Speaking of which, it is also our Wu Ye who despises these books the most, you see, it is also important to ask them to go before dark...... When you go out of the city to the south before dark, you must live in Tang Jiaji, Tang Niu'er's house, who is Tang Niu'er, let's say hello, what is not easy to say. Alas, these scholars, the route out of the city has been calculated, and it will be easy to move them. ”
"Then if they're not ......"
"If they're not there, even if they're smart, we'll chase after them and go back. If they are here, when they get out of the Tang family set, they will do the thing, and the silver will be divided, which can be regarded as a thing. Wu Ye is right, these scholars have already been offended, rather than letting them mess with Hong Kong outside, it is better to do it, and it will be a hundred...... They have money on them, and some of them seem to have family backgrounds, and it is taboo to cut the grass without eradicating the roots......"
"How much silver do they have?"
"I see a lot, do things to get a point, you marry a concubine, I think it's more than enough, maybe Xu Ye will share a little reward for us......"
"Uncle and Miss fell out......"
"One night husband and wife, one hundred nights, bedside fights, bedside and bedside, you are still young, you don't see much to do, don't look at Xu Ye, this person is a little wrong, when you start doing things, it is still very fierce...... Don't let him fall into his hands......"
As if to combat the silence of the night, these people talked about things in a low tone and with a head on their heads. Their steps are rustic, their words are rustic, and the clothes on their bodies are rustic, but what they say is indeed about murder.
Things in the world are wonderful.
Ning Ji was in the Huaxia Army in the past, and he also saw the demeanor of everyone when they talked about killing, they were talking about how to kill the enemy, how to kill the Jurchens, and they used almost all the means they could know, and they were calm and cautious when they spoke, because while killing, they also had to take into account the harm that their own people would suffer.
But there are also such people in the world, who may live a life that seems to be ordinary people, they have not undergone much training, they used to farm, hunt, get together and talk about women obscenely, and some people seem to be honest. At this moment, they also talked about killing people indifferently, as if no one would be harmed, and they were elated.
Ning Ji's gaze was gloomy, and he followed from behind, he didn't hide his figure anymore, he was already upright, walking behind the trees, across the grass. At this time the moon was walking in the sky, and there was a faint shadow of someone on the earth, and the night wind was whimpering. The man at the back seemed to sense that something was wrong, and he glanced to the side, and the figure of the young man with the burden fell into his eyes.
"Hey......"
He didn't react, the hunter who was walking in the penultimate heard his voice, and on the side, the figure of the young man rushed over, and there was a "click" in the night sky, and the body of the man who walked at the end was broken on the ground, and one of his legs was stepped on by the young man from the side, this one broke his calf, and he could not scream when he fell.
Orion, who walked in the penultimate with a longbow on his back and a knife at his waist, could not react, because the boy approached him directly after stepping on the calf, and grabbed the back of Orion's neck with his left hand, which was a head taller than him, and a fierce punch slammed into the opponent's stomach with his advance, and at that moment, Orion only felt as if he had been pierced from the front chest to the back, something squirted out of his mouth, and all his internal organs seemed to be shattered and stirred together.
"Who ......?"
The sound of talking and screaming suddenly sounded, and suddenly the figure rushing from the darkness looked like a tank, and he punched between Orion's chest and abdomen, his body still moving forward, and his hands grabbed the long scabbard on Orion's waist.
The third-to-last man turned around and drew his sword, and the shadow had already drawn the long sheathed knife from Orion's waist and swung it in the air. The man drew his sword, and the scabbard that swung in the air slashed Huashan with a fierce blow, and smashed it on the man's knee with all his strength as the figure moved forward.
His kneecap shattered, and he staggered and jumped with a knife.
The teenager separated the crowd and approached everyone with violent means.
