Chapter Seventy-Four: Human Nature

Duan Chong has thought about the question of human nature countless times, but he has never come to any conclusion, because Duan Chong has not figured out what kind of person he is, Duan Chong does not hate killing, but Duan Chong will not kill those innocent people, but when some innocent people are about to face death, Duan Chong will sometimes seem indifferent, and even take the lives of others in order to achieve his own goals. Although this is not Duan Chong's original intention, the current situation is exactly like this, Duan Chong planned this good show of donating silver taels and food and salary in order to let the forces of Northern Liang appear, and at the beginning of Duan Chong's plan, he had already calculated that all the 1,000 officers and soldiers sent this time would be counted...... Death, or even death, these things are all in Duan Chong's plan, so on a certain level, Duan Zhong is a veritable executioner.

1,000 people is a huge number for the current Southern Liang, because the strength of the Southern Liang is already stretched in the face of the attack of the Northern Liang, the forbidden army of the imperial city and the troops of Jiangnan were transferred to the banks of the Yangtze River to make up for the vacancy after the Bingzhou Naval Division was defeated, so the number of remaining officers and soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River is limited, and the current situation is that the Southern Liang court is appeasing the people while recruiting a large number of troops, but it is already a situation where people cannot be recruited, and this imperial historian Wang Zhikun can take out a thousand people to escort this operation, It is already the greatest authority, but Lord Wang Zhikun never thought from the beginning that all these people would have to be confessed, and it was planned by Duan Chong, whom he admired very much.

And such a layout, in Duan Chong's view, is still reasonable, and even for these deaths in front of him, I don't feel a little sad, is it really numb, in Duan Chong's creed, he has never been afraid of killing, but he has always wanted to kill people who should be killed, maybe in such a world, if he wants to be on top, he must become insensitive, and now, Duan Chong is in this state, only half an hour, the garrison of the Southern Liang soldiers has suffered ten casualties, and the Northern Liang forces that carried out the raid and attack have killed a few people, ten, still twenty, Duan Zhong only knew that he was standing on the deck of this transport ship and did not move, but he casually killed five unlucky men in black who came up to find Duan Chong's bad luck.

The five corpses were lined up on the deck of the transport ship, and they were not very conspicuous in the night, Duan Zhong searched the five corpses one by one with a fire fold, and did not get any useful information, so he kicked all the corpses into the canal, and at this time, the whole battle had basically come to an end, because the screams had gradually calmed down, which also showed that the thousand officers and soldiers had almost died, and from the beginning to the present, it only took half an hour, that is, Every other breath, an officer and soldier fell.

Duan Zhong shook his head helplessly, this kind of speed is inevitably too fast, if his own "poison dagger" does the same thing, will it be faster? Of course, this is just some assumptions: the "poison dagger" has more important things to do at the moment, and at this moment when he casually killed two people in the dark, Duan Zhong took out the fire fold from his arms, ignited a signal flare and threw it into the air.

But listening to the sound of "whoosh", a firelight shot into the sky, blooming an extremely dazzling firelight, almost illuminating the sky in the suburbs, and at the moment when this firelight rose into the sky, countless black shadows rushed out from underwater, and instantly cut into the battlefield, fighting with the rising Beiliang assassins who were killing.

Duan took a heavy breath: "Poison Dagger" has a thousand people, the number is at least twice as many as the enemy, and the combat effectiveness of this thousand people is by no means comparable to the officers and soldiers in Jiangnan, so in this battle, although casualties are inevitable, there is still a certainty of winning, and in an instant, Duan Zhong showed all the momentum of his master, locked the position of the opponent's master, and rushed over directly.

And this time in the battle, Jiang Mingchen did not participate in the battle, because at this moment, Jiang Mingchen was pushing a wheelchair, standing on the riverbank to watch the battle, the person on the wheelchair was Fu Yousu, and the thing Duan Chong ordered was just to let Fu Yousu personally see that he had avenged him, and capture the leader of the other party and put it in front of Fu Yousu for him to dispose of, this is Duan Chong's way of treating his subordinates, and it is precisely because of this way that he has won the loyal followers of these subordinates, Duan Chong, as a character who has been out for many years and has a head and a face, has to have a bit of courage to kill and decide.

When Duan Chong rushed to the riverbank where the opponent's master was, the zongzi was already fighting like a god of war, and around the zongzi, there was a martial arts master of the first stage and three martial arts masters of the second stage, such a configuration can already be said to be very terrifying, at least in Nanliang, except for the palace, no force can come up with such a powerful force.

Although the zongzi is under siege, it still shows great bravery. Although he fell behind, he was not afraid at all, the long sword in his hand flashed with a strange red light, and the sword qi was dribbling all over his body, as if forming a shield, the enemy could not take any advantage at all, and Duan Chong looked at the battle situation, and did not rush to kill, because Duan Chong knew that Zongzi would definitely not be defeated for a while, and this Zongzi alone had attracted basically all the high-end forces of the Beiliang assassins, and this was enough to explain a problem, this Zongzi had been on the nineteenth peak of Cangshan for half a year, The progress of cultivation is obvious, and Duan Zhong seems to feel that there is probably another ...... next to him Xiao Li.

Duan Chong casually solved a few assassins for the "poison dagger" beside him, but his eyes were wandering around, and he found that although this zongzi attracted a lot of strength, the group of assassins below was still resisting in an orderly manner, as if someone was commanding, so Duan Chong quickly noticed that on this battlefield, someone was controlling the situation, and this person was obviously still hiding in the shadows.

This time Duan Chong launched a surprise attack, but the enemy was able to calm down so quickly, even the "poison dagger" did not have such a reaction speed, Duan Chong listened attentively, but heard that there was a flute sound in the sound of this fight, and suddenly his heart moved, it turned out that someone was commanding with a flute in the dark.

Duan Zhong must be in the center, but he carefully noticed the source of the flute, followed the sound to find it, but found that the flute sound came from the dense forest on the bank of the river where the ship stopped, and immediately rushed towards the dense forest without hesitation, because Duan Zhong must hurry up, otherwise the loss of the "poisonous dagger" may be greater.

At the moment of rushing into the dense forest, there were countless sounds of breaking the sky, dozens of arrows and poison darts rushed straight towards Duan Chong, Duan Chong's sword was unsheathed, and a sword light flashed, but he heard a chaotic sound of "crackling", all these hidden weapons were blocked out by Duan Chong, and at the same time, more than ten figures rushed out at the same time, rushing straight towards Duan Chong, master, Duan Chong intuitively sensed the danger, and immediately turned over, but the sword in his right hand was a pick, taking the life of an assassin, and his body shrank back, And Duan Chong's original position suddenly appeared with a chilling sword.

Duan took a heavy breath, this time he still underestimated the enemy's strength, there would be two Duan masters, it seemed that this time the enemy was indeed bloody. Although there are many things that Duan Chong can't think clearly, but there is no time for Duan Chong to think about it at the moment, Duan Chong took a few steps back, the thirteen masters who besieged him, among them, there was a first-stage martial arts master, who was slightly inferior to himself, but definitely not anywhere, and at the same time there was a second-stage martial arts master, and the rest were ordinary assassins, and not far away, a black shadow stood indifferently in place, while playing the flute, looking at Duan Chong.

In the dark night, the black-clothed man's gaze penetrated the air and shot at Duan Chong, as if he wanted to see Duan Chong through, but Duan Chong had to withdraw his attention and deal with the difficult problem in front of him, thirteen against one, no matter how it was calculated, there was no chance of winning, but Duan Chong didn't think so, in Duan Chong's view, if he wanted to fight, he had to take the lead, so Duan Chong didn't hesitate at all, and his body flew back, as if he wanted to escape, such an action surprised the enemy, but it was only this moment of surprise, That's enough to redo a lot of things.

The fire fold in this hand was ignited in shock, and a swarthy ball in the other hand was exuding a cold air falling into Duan Chong's hand, and the next moment, the lead was ignited, and Duan Chong threw the black ball between the enemies, knowing that at this time, the enemy subconsciously dodged, and it was like dodging dark arrows and poison darts, one did not let this black ball get wet, there was no danger, obviously, this is a very wrong decision, at any time do not underestimate the power of the bomb invented by Tie Dan, even if it is a grandmaster-level master.

So the next moment, there was a loud bang in the silent night, the ground shook and the mountains shook, it was the flowing water in the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, which was constantly rippling and rolling, this explosion, part-time was earth-shattering, Duan Chong covered his ears and retreated sharply, the aftermath of the explosion was still there, Duan Chong naturally would not go to find death, and Duan Chong knew that the original thirteen people, there were still three people left after the explosion, that would be good, so Duan Chong took a deep breath and quietly waited for the smoke to dissipate.

And the smoke and dust retreated, Duan Zhong squinted his eyes and counted, one, two, three, sure enough...... There are three left, so the next thing will be much easier.
