Volume 1 The Eagle Flies to the End of the Han Dynasty Chapter 71 The House of Appointments
The black arrows let out a piercing screech and shot at an astonishing high speed, almost giving rise to desperate thoughts of being tied, but this time the target was the Southern Eagle.
Nan Ying didn't think about it, his waist sank back as if it was suddenly broken, and from a distance, the whole person suddenly became shorter. He had undergone similar brutal training as a Hidden Dragon Guard, and instead of a crossbow, he was faced with a pistol, which, though only rubber bullets and armor, still hurt his heart and lungs if hit.
The moment he was on his back, he heard the sound of a bowstring in the distance. The black arrow slashed against the tip of Nanying's nose, and the strong wind that brought it made his face ache for a while, and it was nailed to the trunk of the tree behind him with a "ding".
Nan Ying's gaze swept over the arrow feathers that had sunk into the trunk of the tree, and the cold sweat on his back gushed out, this was almost impossible, what kind of person could shoot such an accurate and sharp arrow in the dark night!
The Southern Eagle leaped to his feet, frantically changing his body from side to side, and rushed towards the ringing of the bowstring under the cover of the trees. It's terrible, in the face of such an opponent, if he is allowed to continue to launch, he will definitely die.
He had just flashed out from behind a tree, and another black arrow came like an unpredictable prophet, it was obvious that the terrible archer clearly grasped the trajectory of his movements, Nan Ying's heart was cold, this person must not stay, no matter what price he will pay tonight, he must also get rid of it, otherwise this archer will become a terrifying enemy for himself and his subordinates.
He let out a wild shout, forcing himself to get rid of all the distractions in his heart, and his right hand had already drawn the eagle knife from behind his back, and slashed at the life-seeking arrow that flew like a meteor.
"Ding"! The eagle knife was swung accurately on the arrowhead, and the arrow flew down diagonally without slowing down, and was dangerously inserted into the side of the southern eagle's foot with a slight difference, and it sank deep into the earth.
Nan Ying's whole arm was numb as if he was struck by lightning, but he was not surprised or rejoiced in his heart, this seemingly risky knife not only succeeded in establishing the confidence he almost lost, but also enabled him to master the archer's rate of fire and strength, and he finally won back a trace of initiative.
His eyes were like lightning, and he let go of his feet at full speed, and swept towards the archer's location. He calculated in his heart that the opponent could still send at least two to three arrows, and the next arrow would be more difficult to resist, not only was his right hand still numb, but also because the closer the distance, the less cushion there was for the arrows, and there was only one risk!
Another arrow flew in, Nan Ying gritted his teeth, and the eagle knife in his left hand swung out again, with a crisp sound of "ding", in Nan Ying's stunned, this knife actually split the arrow upside down and flew back, even he could hardly believe it.
Nan Ying was stunned, followed by a burst of ecstasy, not because he played extraordinary, but because he blocked two arrows in a row, and he had successfully shaken the opponent's original unbreakable will, which caused him to shoot an abnormal arrow.
Sure enough, this arrow was blocked, and the opponent's shooting speed was significantly slower. Blocking another arrow, Nanying finally saw the opponent in front of him clearly. The black-clad masked man held a longbow in his left hand, and his right hand was struggling into the quiver behind his back.
The man and Nanying looked at each other, under the reflection of the moonlight, his eyes clearly showed a look of horror, an arrow in his hand, and immediately opened his bow to shoot at Nanying, and even the string was not completely full, but Rao was so, under such a close shot, the arrow was still out of his hand, and the power was amazing.
Nanying clearly had a hunch that he would no longer be able to stop the arrow, and he tried to turn sideways, and the arrow hit him right in the chest.
The archer was just ecstatic, but when he saw Nanying's body, he immediately rushed to the front as if he was not affected, and he couldn't help but tremble violently, and roared: "This can't be .........."
The sound stopped abruptly.
Nanying swung out a knife, and a human head flew up with its eyes wide open, its eyes were especially full of fear and confusion, and the upright headless corpse shook a few times, and "porphyr" fell into the grass.
Nan Ying sat down on the ground like a force, sweating like pulp on his body, just a few dozen steps, but it seemed to be a hundred times more dangerous than killing more than a dozen people in a row just now.
He gritted his teeth and pulled out the long arrow inserted in his right chest, bringing out a trace of blood, sniffing the arrow, Nan Ying finally exhaled a long breath, and threw the arrow far away, if it weren't for the bulletproof vest to block most of the strength, he was afraid that he would be half useless if he didn't die.
Not far away, a groaning exclamation was heard: "Nighthawk! He killed Nighthawk! Signal now! Let's go! ”
Nan Ying was stunned, damn, no wonder this kid's night vision is not affected, and he shoots one arrow after another with great accuracy, it turns out that he really has a pair of nighthawk-like eyes!
The long grass trembled in near and far, and the sound of small footsteps slowly faded away, and soon there was a shrill whistle.
The enemy finally retreated.
Gao Shun's eyes were full of light, and he swept away a pair of iron rulers in his hand like a storm towards the black-clothed leader, he had really spelled out the real fire, not only because the opponent was unexpectedly strong, and he could fight with him for dozens of moves without falling behind, but also because his companions had been killed or wounded.
There was nothing wrong with this ambush plan, Dan Chenzi protected Emperor Ling and Jia Xu and hid in the calamus bushes far away, thinking that it was all right, and he led Zaoyi, Chun Yuqiong and others to appear to lure the enemy, while Ma Jun and five guards were holding crossbows and lying in the grass nearby, just waiting for the enemy to be suspicious, they could combine light and darkness to kill the killer together.
Unexpectedly, although the enemy was hit, all of them were not weak, and Ma Jun and the others only shot down three people, so they didn't have time to get on the arrow, and started a hand-to-hand fight with the enemy. Gao Shun originally wanted to kill the enemy leader as quickly as possible to deter the thieves, but he didn't expect that the black-clothed leader would not be able to attack for a long time, but instead firmly restrained himself.
Chun Yuqiong, Zao Yi two people are more than high, more than self-preservation, Zheng Lian, Gao Gao'er and two daughters flashed their swords, protecting Ma Jun, and they were inseparable from the opponents for a while, but the other ten guards and the opponent's battle was cruel and abnormal, the two sides entered a white-hot state at the beginning, they were fighting for their lives, from time to time someone screamed miserably, fell in a pool of blood, although the killers seemed to have greater casualties, but after all, there were more people, and soon gained the upper hand, the guards were divided into several small circles, and they were gritting their teeth and holding on.
Gao Shun cried out in his heart, if he continued to fight for a long time, he was afraid that Gao Gao'er and Ma Jun would be in danger, he shouted wildly, his body turned sharply like a spinning top, and he danced his iron ruler into a ball of black light, and crushed towards the black-clothed leader.
The black-clothed leader was immediately forced to gain the upper hand, but his steps were steady, and he did not show the slightest sign of defeat when he saw the moves.
Gao Shun sighed in his heart, and was about to use the trick of exchanging injuries for injuries, when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle in the night sky.
The black-clothed leader's heart was in a mess, and he was almost swept away by Gao Shun, countless thoughts instantly turned in his heart, and finally let out a long roar, followed by a false move, turned around and left.
The killers also broke away from the battle group one after another, and quickly retreated in all directions, leaving only more than a dozen corpses standing in place and on the ground in a daze.
Everyone was stunned and at a loss, when suddenly a black-clothed masked man rushed out of the forest, everyone was shocked and killed together, but they heard the strange man shout: "You are crazy! I don't even know the young master anymore! ”
Seeing the person's unique and strange outfit, a boulder in Gao Shun's heart finally landed.
Emperor Ling and Chun Yuqiong looked at the five corpses on the ground with a sad face, a moment ago they were still loyal and vigorous guardians of the Son of Heaven, but in an instant, yin and yang were separated forever.
Zao only stepped forward and whispered a few words in Gao Shun's ear.
Gao Shun nodded and said softly: "Your Majesty, the on-site liquidation, 5 people died on our side, and 11 enemy corpses were killed!" There is no live mouth! What to do next, please make it clear to Your Majesty! ”
Nan Ying sneered and said, "It should be 26 corpses!" ”
Chun Yuqiong turned around, and a shocked look flashed on her face: "26 bodies? You killed 15 of them alone? ”
Nan Ying slapped his forehead and said, "Alas, I remembered it wrong!" It was 27 people, and I killed a bow leader! ”
Gao Shun handed over Nanying's robe and said with a smile: "Brother Xian is indeed good!" One man alone can overcome many of us! Kill well, and finally avenge these brothers who died! ”
Chun Yuqiong and the others showed gratitude together.
Nan Ying put on his robe again, shook his head and said, "Big brother Hugh wants to praise me, these killers are indeed terrible, I almost buried the arrow of the bow master today!" ”
Gao Shun thought of the killers he faced, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and muttered: "Not bad! Indeed, who are they? ”
A deep voice said, "Maybe I can guess who they are!" ”
Everyone looked at each other in amazement.
In the distance, in a dark forest, the black-clothed leader looked at the gathered subordinates, and felt his hands tremble involuntarily, but fortunately, the sky was still not bright, and his gaffe would not be seen by his subordinates.
He struggled to control his emotions and maintained his usual calm tone: "How many people have not yet arrived?" ”
One of them said in a trembling voice: "Back to the leader, it's all here!" And 22 more! ”
The black-clothed leader was shocked and said, "Impossible! What about Qin Yang, are there only these few people in your group? ”
The man bowed his head and said, "Leader Qin is dead in battle!" I saw him beheaded with a single knife by a man in black, and his body was in the woods over there! ”
The black-clothed leader finally couldn't calm down, grabbed the man's shirt, and yelled, "You fart! 'Nighthawk' Qin Yang was born with a pair of night eyes, and he is one of the few masters of using arrows in the world, how could he be so cowardly! ”
The man was shocked and said: "The leader is angry, his subordinates don't dare to talk nonsense, and a few brothers have seen this matter with their own eyes!" ”
The black-clothed leader's eyes swept over, and several killers lowered their heads together, not daring to speak, which made his heart cold, stunned for a while, and finally let go of the placket of the subordinate with a long sigh.
He was stunned for a moment before he said, "This matter is not your crime, I underestimated the enemy!" I'll be punished myself when I get back! ”
He suddenly turned around, looked at the faintly white of the fish belly in the east, and said to himself, "Hmph! Although there were heavy casualties, the purpose of this trip has been achieved! You can escape from us, but can you escape from the man's hand? ”
He chuckled again, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Also, you actually killed Qin Yang, and now the people behind him are afraid that they will not be able to sit still anymore!" ”
Dan Chenzi's face showed a rare solemn look: "Although these killers don't have any tokens on them to identify themselves!" But looking at his skills, actions, and scale, it reminds me of a legendary name! ”
He looked at the people who were listening intently, took a deep breath and said, "That's the House of Huiren!" ”
Nanying, Emperor Ling, Chun Yuqiong and the others all looked at each other blankly, only Gao Shun and Zao You exclaimed in a low voice: "What? Could they be the people of the House of Trustees? ”
Emperor Ling first spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, what is the House of Huiren? ”
Gao Shun shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people have only heard that there is an extremely powerful killer group in the legend, called the Huiren Family. The rest is not clear! ”
Nan Ying saw that Zao You's face turned pale, and shouted: "Zao You, you must know!" Don't hurry up yet! ”
Zao Yi's face twitched for a while, and finally slowly shook his head and said, "I don't know very well!" However, the first time I learned the name, it was because of a tragic incident! ”
There was a look of memory in his eyes, but a trace of shudder flashed on his face: "That year, when I was the first county lieutenant, there was a shocking bloody case in the county, a Luoyang official who left his post and returned to his hometown and a family of fifteen people, all of them were killed overnight, there were no clues at the scene, only when the official was dying, he wrote four words with blood under his body!" ”
Zao Yi said word by word: "Will-Ren-Zhi-Home!" ”
Everyone listened to the throbbing in their hearts.
Ma Jun couldn't help but ask, "What happened then?" Has the case been solved? ”
Zao You's face showed a lonely look: "If it's broken, can I still not know the details of this organization?" The case was finally closed, and I was reprimanded by Shangguan for this, and I was deducted from half a year's salary! ”
Nan Ying pondered and said: "It seems that this is a professional killer organization specializing in assassination, specializing in collecting money from people and eliminating disasters with people!" However, these people really don't know whether they live or die, and they dare to do the business as today, aren't they afraid that the Son of Heaven will kill them with the power of the whole country? ”
Dan Chenzi smiled bitterly: "The power of the whole country? Then there must be a goal, right? Where to find out, and from whom? These people are simply hidden in the dark, they may be a minister of the DPRK and China, or they may be just a person in the market! As long as they disappear, there will be no way to find out! ”
Nanying was stunned for a moment, and said with a big headache: "Not good! If these people target us in the future, won't they be able to prevent it! How good is that! ”
Only Emperor Ling glanced at Zao Yi thoughtfully, and said, "Zao Yi, did you just say that you were once a county lieutenant?" ”
Nan Ying and Gao Shun all cried out in their hearts, as court officials, they left their posts without authorization, which is not a small crime. This jujube, how can you just say that it slipped away!
Zao Yi turned over and bowed down, and said calmly: "Zao You, the former county lieutenant of Dong'e County, knock to see the Son of Heaven!" The criminal left his post without permission and begged the Son of Heaven to punish the crime, but the criminal did not dare to complain even though he died! ”
Nan Ying hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter is ......"
Emperor Ling waved his hand to stop Nanying, and smiled at Zaoyi: "You are only in your early twenties this year, and you are a county lieutenant at a young age, it's not easy!" Well, Dong'e County is a big county, you have at least 400 stones, right? Tell me, why didn't you do a good county lieutenant, but followed our Mr. Nan as a personal entourage? ”
His voice suddenly turned sharp: "It's reasonable to say it, if not!" Hum! If I don't inflict sin on you, how can I still control the officials and rule the world? ”
It was the first time that everyone heard his voice, and they were all shocked in their hearts.
Zao Yi said unhurriedly: "Back to Your Majesty, Mr. Nan is a celestial scholar and a scholar!" If you have a teacher like this, what more can you ask for? Moreover, the guilty minister has received his great favor, and only by accompanying him day and night for the gentleman to send can he repay him! ”
He saw that Emperor Ling nodded slightly before he said: "Your Majesty, with the respect of the Son of Heaven, Corporal Shang Ken Lixian, is commensurate with Mr. Nan's brother. For a humble person like me, I can only be a personal companion by my husband's side! ”
The Spirit Emperor was stunned, and couldn't help laughing loudly: "Okay, good!" It was pointed at me! Well, you have a point! I forgive you for your innocence! ”
Nanying, Gao Shun and others couldn't help but exhale together.
Emperor Ling saw that Zao Yi finally showed a look of amnesty, and said with a smile: "Zao County Lieutenant, I still want to remind you that Mr. Nan has promised me to take up my post after returning to Luoyang, so, in other words, you still haven't escaped from my palm!" ”
Zao You was startled, because he didn't know about the matter of Zhishi that Jia Xu and Nanying were secretly discussing, and Nanying only had time to tell Gao Shun.
He secretly glanced at Nan Ying, and when he saw him nodding slightly helplessly, he immediately knelt down again without hesitation and said, "Why did Your Majesty say this?" Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister! As a citizen of the Han Dynasty, Weichen should be loyal to His Majesty and never give up! ”
Emperor Ling smiled and said, "Very good! Let's see if you want you to remember today! ”
A trace of discomfort passed through Nanying's heart, could it be that Emperor Ling was beating himself through the matter of jujube? Remind yourself not to forget what you promised?
Emperor Ling turned around and said to Nan Ying, "Brother Nan, what should we do now?" ”
Nan Ying thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, let's assume that these killers are the family of the Huiren, they are now in a state of collapse, and it is impossible to mobilize people in a hurry, so we don't have to worry about them at all." ”
He looked up at the rising sun in the distance, and sighed, "But we must set out at once, for the next group of enemies, though they are clear enemies, may be even more terrifying!" ”
Everyone shouted in unison: "Taiping Dao! ”
