Chapter 491: The afterglow is gone, and the old bridgehead is gone
February 17, early morning, near Dabie Mountain.
The death of Fang Qifo, for some people, actually had a certain prediction. But for his death at this time, most people also have unexpected emotions in their hearts, more or less, mixed with anger, sadness, loss, stunned, and so on.
For Tie Tianying, Zong Feixiao and others, the death of Fang Qifo can be regarded as the most important part of this entire layout. But in the end, Fang Qifo was rescued in the most unlikely situation, and in the pursuit of all the way, he bit a group of fugitives to the death, and he still had a fluke mentality in his heart, and at this time, everything was irreparable. Ning Liheng's sudden attack at this time was almost unprepared in the hearts of everyone in the criminal department.
For them, anger is the first thing, and for the other party, Baihua and others, anger is actually secondary, and it is just a conditioned reflex driven by sadness. And this kind of emotion, on the side of Lin Xichan, Sikong Nan and others, is even more complicated, including Wang Yin, who was hiding in the distance at this time and quietly watching the development of the situation. In a sense, there is even a faint sense of frustration in their hearts.
After Fang Qifo was rescued, he had said a few words to Chen Fan, one of which was to admit that he did not know about the three Manichaean Trappers. He didn't know, and Wang Yin might not be able to know about it, outside of the Fangla system, there was an internal response of Manichaeism, and only Sikong Nan was left.
Of course, the Manichaean case is wide-ranging, because the tentacles of religion also extend very long. With such a large sect, Fang Qifo and the others could not fully grasp the details. In the end, it was found by the thoughtful Wang Yin, and the possibility also exists. Such speculation has not been confirmed many years later. But Fang Qifo's rescue, for everyone, directly brought about not a good impact, this point may have been thought out the moment Fang Qifo left the cage.
He is a real burden, he will make Fang Baihua and others lose the opportunity to disperse and escape, will let Fang Baihua, Chen Fan and others spare the most powerful strength to work hard, and will also let the strength of the Criminal Department really come into play. Chase and fight. Don't give anyone else a chance to get lucky. On the other hand, the death of all the people he really cares about in front of him may be the best revenge in some people's hearts.
Fang Qifo's head was suddenly cut off. Looking at the young man dressed as a scholar on the slope above, Lin Xichan and Sikong Nan were in their heads. It's also somewhat empty. And among these people. Really have a complicated and stunned mood. On the contrary, it was not those outsiders, but Zhu Biao, who was following Ning Yi at this time.
He really didn't expect such a scene to happen.
Since the fight with Chen Fan. followed Ning Yi all the way south, and he was the only one among all the followers who knew part of the inside story of the Dao. Ning Yi wanted to save Chen Fan, wanted to save the woman named Watermelon, and even wanted to talk to Fang Qifo, and finally understood the obsession of Chen Fan and others, these things, he probably knew the way.
However, the situation was serious, and it was too late for the Secret Investigation Division to go south, and there were not many available people around Ning Yi. Although all kinds of trivial materials have been being collected, it has not been possible to organize a detailed outline in two days. Zhu Biao had seen Ning Yi sitting in the room with his eyes closed and pondering more than once, his fingers tapping - the last time he saw Ning Yi's appearance was in Zhujiazhuang, and after that time, the number of people who died directly or indirectly in Liang Shan's hands at Ning Yi's hands was as high as tens of thousands.
But Zhu Biao is not a fool, although he is usually very arrogant, but he can practice martial arts to this extent, after all, he is still a quick mind. In such a situation, there is a lot of force involved and little information, and if it were him, he would not be able to think of any way to come up with it. And even Ning Yi and Zhu Biao could see the anxiety that had accumulated on him over time, although it was impossible to meet Fang Qifo, and if Chen Fan and Liu Watermelon wanted to escape, they could only depend on luck.
However, luck did not come after all, in the past two days, Ning Yi ran back and forth, calculating changes, and in the situation becoming clearer and clearer, he also inquired in detail about the terrain leading to the Dabie Mountain, but after all, due to time constraints, he was unable to investigate on the spot. Later, I also sent a few articles to the surrounding states and counties, as a seemingly unintentional foreshadowing, but it did not play a role later.
Zhu Biao saw these things in his heart, and he could know that when things came to a peak that night, he, Ning Yi and a group of people were still rushing to the front of the chasing team. Along the way, Ning Yi had speculated on several possible places to take ambushes, and two of them were miscalculated, because it was always difficult to understand the terrain according to others, and one missed the time, and only the mountain road at the back of the road made them arrive in a hurry.
The firing of a few elm cannons disrupted the whole situation, and Ning Yi's posture and momentum for a moment really overwhelmed everyone present. But Zhu Biao can understand that in this strong momentum, Ning Yi can not use many chips. Eight elm cannons and more than twenty people can't decide the whole situation, and even Ning Yi's attack this time has already taken a great risk.
After that, he chased all the way, and the violent posture was enough to shock many people around him, but the limit was just the limit. Ning Yi broke through Liangshan, the whole layout can be regarded as exquisite, every time I think about it, it is convincing, but it is also because of his participation in the whole thing, Zhu Biao also understands that the so-called conspiracy is not a castle in the air on top of delusion, and every step of Ning Yi is only to expand the amount of power he can use to the maximum, and eventually cause a chain reaction. How to escape these people with Fang Qifo has become a dead end at the moment. Only at this time, Ning Yi's move was almost completely unexpected by Zhu Biao.
Even if Fang Qifo will die tonight, in front of his friends and women, whether he dies at the hands of the enemy or at his own hands are two completely different concepts. When Ning Yi rushed up and swung down the knife, Zhu Biao's heart was stunned, but also flashed a trace of enlightenment.
It's just that...... How did this guy do it......
The mountain wind was howling, and on the suspension bridge behind, the woman's crying voice came. Ning Yi stood in the slight fire that shook on the top of the mountain, holding a knife in one hand and a human head in the other, his gaze coldly swept over the two groups of people from the Manichaean and the Criminal Department below, and then turned around and descended the mountain from the side that came up: "Kill them!" Find an opportunity to cut down the drawbridge! ”
Fang Baihua and others stormed. Zhu Biao blocked the other party with a gun, and the crossbow shot out from behind. Because of what Ning Yi said, "find an opportunity to cut the suspension bridge", Fang Baihua gritted her teeth, and after two tricks with Zhu Biao, she finally retreated and led a few people around her to this end of the suspension bridge. She knew that time was running out, and it would be difficult for the people on the suspension bridge to get away with it, so she shouted over there: "Go! On the suspension bridge, Luo Bingren and the others pulled the arm of the watermelon and ran towards it.
Zhu Biao understood in his heart that Ning Yi's purpose was not to take Fang Baihua's life after all. Seeing the other party retreat. He called the member of the Secret Investigation Division with a crossbow next to him to go over to Ning Yi's side. The catchers below rushed up to this side, the firelight swayed, and Fang Baihua led the four people around him to block the attack that came from front of him, and in the blink of an eye. It becomes a trio. Some of them tried to throw torches onto the drawbridge. Fang Baihua tried his best to knock down a few. But the bridge still caught fire.
Over there, the watermelon, who had been dragged backwards, followed Ning Yi's figure down for a long time. Finally shouted: "Heart Demon! Ning Yi! No matter how fierce you are! I'll find you! You waited for me—"
This sentence was full of threat, and far away, Ning Yi raised his knife here, and the cold words passed through the night: "I'll wait for you!" ”
This is the end of the communication between the two sides.
The threatening and flirtatious words on the rivers and lakes are commonplace, and no one takes these two sentences as the same thing. Ning Yi walked down the slope, Zhu Biao and the others rushed back, and Zong Feixiao, Tie Tianying, and Fan Chong had also chased after him.
"Ning Yi, you dare to kill Fang Qi Buddha......"
Ning Yi raised his head indifferently: "So what? ”
"Do you know that he was a prisoner designated by the imperial court, and the Criminal Department had a strict order to let him go to Beijing alive......"
"You want this head?" Ning Yi lifted the head of Fang Qifo and handed it to Zong Feixiao, Zong Feixiao said in a deep voice: "I want to handle your ......" The Iron Sky Eagle next to him reached out to take it, but before he could touch it, Ning Yi threw the head back again, in Zhu Biao's hand.
"Seal this head with lime! Zong Feixiao! Iron Aquila! Fan Heavy! Escorting the Seven Buddhas to Beijing is the task of waiting for you, and you are the master of the situation without authorization, and in the end it will be a mess if you fail! You want me to clean up this mess for you! Zong Feixiao, you dare to talk to me like this now!? ”
"If I talk to you like this, I'll kill you today-"
Zong Feixiao was angry, and at this time, his finger pointed over, and the catchers in the rear suddenly looked tense, and here, the members of the Secret Investigation Division also set up their crossbows in an instant. Ning Yi confronted the three of them with cold eyes, and in terms of momentum, he did not fall behind.
"Zong catches the head. If you're sure that you can afford to provoke me, I'm with you. ”
This sentence is not high-pitched, but it is word by word, which makes people chill from the bottom of their hearts. In the past, Ning Yi might not have verbally said such a superficial threat, but at this time, it was difficult to tell what his mood was. After confronting each other like this for a few seconds, Ning Yi's gaze slowly swept over the three of them, and his fingers were pointed downward.
"Go back and think clearly! Are you arrogant and miscalculated? Did you lose the Fang Qi Buddha in your hands? Did I put this mess away for you? Fang Qifo's threat, you really hesitated, where are you going to throw the face of the imperial court? Think clearly, I'll give you back the head! Also, Fang Qifo is dead, the bandit leader over there is still there, Fang Baihua, Sikong Nan, Lin Evil Chan, Wang Nanda, these Manichaean demons, when do you have to wait——"
In the second half of these words, the tone has become more and more high-pitched, and Lin Xichan and the others on the other side of the hill can probably hear it, and I don't know what kind of mood they feel.
But no matter what kind of mood Lin Xichan and Sikong Nan were in, or what decision Zong Feixiao, Tie Tianying and others would make. At the end of the suspension bridge, Fang Baihua's subordinates were becoming fewer and fewer after all. When one of the last companions fell, the woman's body was already covered in blood, and the scars were everywhere, and even her face had been chopped with a terrible knife mark, but the woman brandished a red spear and still shrouded the offensive ahead, trying to force back the catchers who rushed to the suspension bridge.
Finally, a hook rope penetrated into her shoulder blades, and several catchers exerted force at the same time, pulling her to the ground, Fang Baihua shouted, and the spear swung over, stabbing at everyone, and also wrapped around the chain, and several more catchers rushed up, and the two sides exerted their strength again, and a cyan thing rose in the air. At this moment, she didn't know how much force Lu Dao exerted, broke the chain, waved away the attacking people, and was hit several times on her body, blood splashed, rolled backwards, and when she stood up, she put an old green flag belonging to the Yongle Dynasty on the spear.
The blood was already covering her eyes, but she glanced at the headless body of the Seven Buddhas from behind—the approaching catcher had already begun to drag the corpse away—and then turned and rushed out!
Ning Yi on this side turned his head, and when Lin Xichan, Sikong Nan and the others over there turned their heads, they saw the figure jumping out of the air from the side of the suspension bridge, and the blood-stained green flag spread out in the air for a moment, and as the figure fell, Fang Baihua's most faint voice was faintly heard in the air:
"It is the equality of the law...... There is no superiority...... Go to the evil hoe and ...... For the people to be happy ......"
It was the slogan shouted during the Fangla uprising, and the voice and the green flag only stayed in the air for a moment, and the afterglow of the Jiangnan La uprising was dissipated here.
The flames burned the drawbridge, swinging the long, old drawbridge to the other side of the cliff. The surviving more than ten people rushed into the distant mountains and forests, and Lin Evil Chan and others were still chasing after them from below......
*******************
In the last years of the Wu Dynasty, due to the intensification of land annexation, the increase of excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the imperial court, the implementation of tyranny such as Huashigang, and the Manichaean uprising led by Fang La, it shook half of the south of the Yangtze River. After being suppressed, Manichaeism continued to survive and develop at the bottom of the population, and in the following years, Manichaean uprisings broke out one after another, all of which were suppressed.
At this time, due to the internal and external troubles of the Wu Dynasty, the idea of using fierce medicine for serious illness, and dealing with the aftermath of the rebellion, most of them took a large number of killings, and until the fall of the Wu Dynasty, more than two million people died under the knife due to the Manichaean case.
Due to the limitations of the peasant uprising at this time, although there were a very small number of leaders of the uprising with relatively good and beautiful ideas, there are many cases of peasants who gained power after the rebellion became more brutal and inhumane than the previous imperial government.
The oppressed rebel against the oppressor, in the end, only in order to gain the power to oppress others in turn. It seems that this theorem alone has remained unchanged in all the turmoil.
No one was spared. (To be continued......)
