Chapter 931: The Tide (Part II)

Under the starry night sky, the silhouette of a knight runs across a dark ridge.

He walked through the woods, around the lakes, through the potholed mud fields, and when there was patrolling fire ahead, he went darker to avoid the checkpoints. The knight kept going.

At midnight, there were crows flying in the forest, and in the blink of an eye, they were also thrown away. The knight rode down the hill, the gravel splashed under the horse's hooves, and when he was halfway through the run, the horse's hooves suddenly softened, and the galloping horse's body rolled down the mountain with the knight.

The moon is like an eyebrow, the silhouette of a horse, the silhouette of a man, rolling down the bones, the ravine at midnight, the vision is quiet, only the distant village, it seems to be a little light, crows fluttering their wings in the treetops.

And so it went on for a long time.

The figure of the man, staggering out of the ravine, looked back at the horse that had fallen in the darkness, then wiped the blood from his head, sat down on a nearby stone, and groped for what was on his body.

He examined a few items, then briefly stopped the bleeding and bandaged himself, he was left without a horse, and in the darkness, the silhouette of the man ran away in the distance.

In the night sky, there is only a crescent moon like an eyebrow, quietly walking westward. The silhouette of the man faces east, and he runs through the woods, around the lakes, over the potholed mud fields, and when there is a patrolling fire ahead, he goes darker. Sometimes he fell in the field, then got up again, stumbled, but still ran towards the east.

As the minutes passed, the color of the sky remained almost unchanged for the first long time, and gradually, even the stars and moons became a little dim. At the darkest hour of the night, the eastern sky was tinged with a strange white belly, and the runners fell to the ground, but still got up, stumbling forward, and a small village appeared in front of them.

The village was depressed, and the roosters and dogs were not there—and even if they were, they had been eaten in the past—and he entered the village in the last darkness, touched the third earthen house courtyard, climbed into the earthen wall with difficulty, and then knocked softly on the door according to the law.

Someone took a look inside, and then the man inside opened them and held the staggering comer. The man helped him into the room, sat him in a chair, and poured him tea, his face was covered with large abrasions, his body was in shambles, his arms and lips were shaking, and as he trembled, he took out a very small piece of paper from his belt and said something.

The man who opened the door put the glass to his lips, and he reached out to catch it, and the man took the paper, opened it quickly, and compared the words on it with the seal.

"I need to go into town." The man who opened the door said a word, and then walked to the back room, "I'll get you the wound medicine first." ”

He quickly took out the wound medicine, and the messenger sat in a chair, holding the cup in both hands, as if he was extremely tired and did not move. The man leaned over and shook him gently, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

He was slightly stunned, then helped the messenger to the inner room, put him on the bed, covered him with the quilt, and then reached out and wiped the other party's eyes, and then he changed into a scholar's clothes and quickly went out.

Genius Meng Mengliang, middle-aged scholars along the path, also ran all the way, after a while on the official road, in front of the city is not high small county, the city gate has not yet opened, but the guards on the city tower have come, he waited at the city gate for a while, when the city gate opened, he wanted to enter, the guards guarding the door saw that he was in a hurry, so he deliberately made trouble, he wasted a few pennies, and then successfully entered the city.

The small county town suffered a war disaster last year, and the vegetable market in the west of the city was in a mess, and the scholar went to an alley at the innermost end of the vegetable market and knocked on a door. The man who opened the door had a scar on his face and a fierce gaze, not a good person, but when he saw someone coming, he still let him in, and the scholar and Scar said a few words at the door, then went out again, went to the middle of the vegetable market and knocked on another door.

It was a butcher's shop, and the door was opened by a slightly chubby butcher. The three of them gathered, and the scholar took out the message that came: "...... The children have been discovered...... The golden dog is on the road......"

“…… After loyalty, what are you waiting for......"

"Someone on my side ......"

"Remember to be reliable ......"

“…… So do it, go your separate ways......"

After the scholar, Scarface, and the butcher discussed this, they each went out, and after a short time, the scholar found the location of a mansion in the city, and after reporting the news, he quickly came to the carriage and prepared to leave the city, and the butcher brought several Jianghu people and a team of dart masters. A group of more than 30 people, escorting a group of young men and women on the carriage, went all the way to the outside of the county seat, although the guards at the city gate wanted to inquire and block, but the butcher and the dart master had power in the local area, and they were let out without much questioning.

At noon, after a small group of golden soldiers and horses entered the county seat, they began to seal the city, and it was determined in the afternoon. The two sons and daughters of the great Confucian Dai Mengwei were originally secretly hidden and placed in this county seat, and this morning, they were escorted away first.

The documents and men of the pursuit were immediately dispatched, and at the same time, a team of dozens of people led by scholars, butchers, and darts was escorting the two of them to the north quickly.

After the war in the southwest took a turn for the worse, in March, the great Confucian Dai Mengwei and the general Wang Zhainan secretly made way for the Huaxia army, and ordered more than 3,000 Huaxia army commanders to drive straight to the foot of Fancheng. After the matter was revealed, the whole world knew.

Dai Mengwei and Wang Zhainan previously submitted to the Jurchens, and some of their relatives also fell into the control of the Jurchens, just like Si Zhongxian, who guarded the Sword Pavilion, and Yu Gusheng, who returned to the Jurchens, never had the best of both worlds during the war. Dai Mengwei and Wang Zhainan chose to be false and wronged, and actually chose the death of these family members and relatives, but because they had reservations from the beginning, some of their relatives were secretly sent to other places before they surrendered, and some of the blood and bones could be preserved.

The young man who was protected in front of him was a pair of children secretly saved by Dai Mengwei. Scholars, butchers, and darts escorted them all the way north, but in fact, there were not many places to go for the time being.

After Dai Mengwei and Wang Zhainan's rebellion was exposed, Wanyan Xiyin sent his disciple Wanyan Yuchi to attack Xicheng County, and at the same time, the surrounding army had outflanked Wang Zhainan. Tu Shanwei's soldiers are not something that Dai and Wang can contend with, although the market, the green forest, and even some Han troops and villagers are inspired by the deeds of Dai and Wang, and they stand up to echo, but at the moment, there are not many places that are really safe.

Towards evening, Scarface also chased after him from behind, and he also carried six strange people of different appearances, including an old woman and a little girl. Each of these people had blood on their hands, but on the way to chase them, they solved a few pursuers along the way, and one of Scarface's men also died.

It is said in the rivers and lakes that most of the monks, Taoists, women and children in the green forest are difficult. It's just that such characters have their own unique kung fu, and they can't be guarded against. There were people in the crowd who knew Scarface, and after saying a few words, others understood that Scarface was the biggest "bookkeeper" in several nearby towns, and most of the people under him were killers who collected money and took their lives.

In the past ten years, the world has been chaotic, and everyone has earned their own lives, especially these people who collect money to their deaths, and they are even more famous for not recognizing their six relatives, but they didn't expect that they would also join this queue this time.

A group of more than 40 people traveled north, and it was only in the evening that they stopped in the nearby mountains and gathered together to discuss where to go. At this moment, most places are not very peaceful, although the direction of Xicheng County is still in the hands of Dai Mengwei, but it will fall sooner or later, and now in the past, it is very likely to be surrounded by the Jurchens, the main force of the Huaxia army is thousands of miles away, everyone wants to send it over, and they have to pass through a large area controlled by the Jin soldiers, as for the east and south, send the pair of sons and daughters to Liu Guangshi's side, it is difficult to determine what this General Liu will do to them.

After such discussions, it was only when someone said that someone in the north had heard the news of Fu Lu's seniors, and the people decided to go north to meet Fu Lu's predecessors first, and then make further discussions.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the group was resting in the mountains, and the pair of Dai family children had already gotten off the carriage, and they thanked everyone for their fists. Among them, Dai Mengwei's daughter looked dignified and delicate, and saw that there were old women and little girls among the accompanying people, so she looked a little sad, and asked in the past, but found that the little girl turned out to be a dwarf who was not very tall, and the old woman was a mute who was good at repelling insects and making poison, and grabbed a poisonous snake in her hand and smiled at her suspiciously.

She is everyone's best girl, who has ever seen such a scene, and was immediately frightened to take a few steps back, not daring to approach these seemingly ordinary killers again.

The night was peaceful, and the next day the group continued their journey, and by the end of the night, the attack had struck. As the rain of fire hits, these people suddenly came out from around the camp, and there was a lineup of dozens of people, fighting with the people in the camp.

Someone fought, someone escorted the wagon to move, and a mad cow with a torch in the woodland rushed out under the drive of the attackers, crashing through the crowd and startling the carriage. In the midst of the neighing of the horse, the car rolled down the slope beside the road, and for a while, the guards and pursuers rushed down the slope frantically, rushing and fighting with knives.

The Dai brothers and sisters crawled out of the carriage in embarrassment, dizzy in the dark, and couldn't figure out the direction for a while, the Dai family staggered around, and the scarface with the highest martial arts held a knife to kill the past, killed one person in a blink of an eye, forced one person back, and protected the son behind him, but the Dai family girl was a cry for help, was carried up, and ran towards the forest on the side.

"Mother-in-law! Girl! White Night—" Scarface shouted, calling for the nearest men, "Help—"

When the pursuers saw that they had snatched the Dai girl, they immediately followed them into the woods, and several of the guards rushed in, including the old woman, the little girl, and a young killer armed with a short knife, who quickly followed.

There was a chase and fight in the woods, and several people died in a short time. The old woman and the dwarf girl's killing methods have their own characteristics, but after all, the body is limited, and there is no longevity in chasing, the young killer known as "White Night" has excellent eyesight, and it is the ability to see at night that he got this nickname, he ran all the way through the forest to chase and kill, killing two people on the way, seeing that there were fewer and fewer companions around him, he hid into the darkness, and in a blink of an eye, the footsteps disappeared.

Several people who robbed the girl of the Dai family killed and fled all the way, and I don't know how long later, a slope suddenly appeared in front of the forest, and the person carrying the woman stopped and rolled down the slope with the person. The other three rushed up and lifted the woman on their shoulders, and then ran down the hillside in the other direction.

At this time, the pursuit and escape had gone quite far, and the three of them ran for a while, estimating that there were no pursuers in the rear, so they stopped in the woodland and rested for a while. The girl from the Dai family was thrown twice, and she also had abrasions on her body, and even fainted because of the shouting on the way, but at this time she woke up, and after being put on the ground, she secretly tried to escape, and a hijacker found her, rushed over and slapped her.

"This still dares to escape-"

"Teach him a lesson!"

In the voice of several people, another slap fell, and the girl of the Dai family cried, and at this moment, a figure suddenly pounced in the darkness, and the short knife was inserted into a man's back from the side, and there was a scream in the forest, followed by the sound of weapons clashing with sparks.

"Kill—"

"I knew someone—"

"Did—"

"Kill the chick—"

The shouts were as rapid as thunder, the figures in front of the Dai girl were staggered, blood was splashed on her face, someone fell, and a figure blocked in front of her, as if to say: "Go." Because her tone was not high, she was still wondering if it was a hallucination, and the voice over there sounded more: "It's 'White Night'!" ”

"It's all about collecting money to eat! What are you fighting for—"

"How much money does the eighth give you! This head is worth a thousand taels—"

"The money is split in half, and the woman gives you the first cool-"

"I'll fuck you—"

The blood splashed in the dark night was both the hijacker and the killer, and there was a low voice in front of him: "Go!" The girl of the Dai family reacted, got up from the ground and ran towards the darkness ahead, and when she turned around, she saw a figure lying on the ground, and the other three figures were fighting endlessly.

She ran towards the woods for a while, and after a moment, turned back again. The woodland where the previous battle had been fought was filled with blood, and all four figures fell to the ground, covered with blood. The girl of the Dai family cried, and as soon as the voice came out, a figure on the ground suddenly moved: "Tell you to run, why are you coming back?" ”

The girl of the Dai family cried and ran over: "I don't know the way, what's wrong with you......"

The killer was stabbed several times, took out a small package from his arms, and said weakly: "Wound medicine...... The girl of the Dai family hurriedly gave him medicine.

Perhaps because of the long-term knife licking blood, most of the knives in the killer's body avoided the vital point, the Dai girl gave him medicine, and used a knife to cut the clothes of the deceased nearby as bandages, and clumsily bandaged, the killer leaned on a nearby tree, and did not die for a long time. Even stood up with the support of the Dai girl, and both of them staggered to a farther place.

It was a strange night, the moon shone down through the gaps in the trees, and for the first time in her life, the girl of the Dai family was supported by a man, and the man around her did not know how much blood had been shed, giving people the feeling that she could die at any time, or fall down at any time. But he didn't die or fall, the two just staggered and walked and walked and walked and walked and walked and walked and walked and walked quietly.

If a pursuer comes along, they will be helpless. For the next day, the Dai girl was still worried about the killer in front of her, who was leaning there and could die at any time, so she sat on the other side, staring at him quietly, his chest rising and falling slightly from breathing, and her heart settled down a little. At noon on the same day, the other party woke up once, took out a piece of dried meat from his waist and handed it to her, while the girl of the Dai family went to find a stream nearby, brought some water back with leaves, and gave it to the other party to drink.

Most of the time, the killer was still sitting quietly as if he was dead, and the Dai girl was staring at his breathing, so that after another night, the other party was not dead, and the movements were a little more, and the Dai girl finally put her mind at ease. The two rested in the cave for another day and a night, and the girl of the Dai family went out to fetch water and changed the medicine for his wounds.

It was early in the morning again, and she crept out of the cave to a nearby stream. After being completely relieved, she was finally able to take care of herself a little, so she washed her face in the stream water, arranged her hair a little, took off her shoes and socks, and washed her feet by the water. During the escape the night before, the embroidered shoe on her right foot was long gone, and she had walked all night on the mountain road in cloth socks, and now she was in some pain.

The sun shone golden colors from the eastern sky into the trees, and the Dai girl sat on the stone and waited quietly for the water on her feet to dry. After a while, she stood up on the stone with her skirt on, and when she turned her head, she realized that not far away, the killer who had saved herself was walking towards her, and she had already seen her without shoes and socks.

The other party was holding the tree forward, in the sun, the two looked at each other, the girl of the Dai family grabbed the hem of her skirt, did not move for a while, the killer lowered his head, and then raised it again, glanced over this side, and then turned around and went to the other end of the stream.

Soon after the Dai girl returned to the cave, the other party also came back, holding a large handful of pampas grass in her hand, the Dai girl sat with her legs crossed by the cave wall, and said softly: "My name is Dai Yueyao, what is your name?" ”

The other party did not answer, but after a moment, he said, "We will leave in the afternoon." ”

He tinkered with the cattails, added a few strips of cloth, and took some time to make an ugly straw sandal and put it in front of her, so that she could wear it.

In the afternoon, they set off.

The killer didn't let her help her anymore, and the two walked slowly, one after the other, and on the second day, they found a neighboring village, and he went to steal two clothes for each other to change, and one day later, they rested in a small nearby county, and he bought her new shoes. Dai Yueyao kept the ugly straw sandals and took them with her.

She couldn't tell why she had kept the straw sandals, they hadn't spoken much along the way, she didn't even know his name—someone seemed to have shouted it on the night he was hunted, but she was too scared to remember—and she could only tell herself that it was the idea of retribution.

The two walked together for a few days after that, the other party's injuries had healed, and even stole money, got a carriage, and walked all the way north, a few days later, they passed through a seemingly uninhabited valley, on the other side of the valley, found a large group of people gathered hundreds of people, she found her brother, the killer found Scarface, the leader of these hundreds of people, is the legendary Fulu senior, even Dai Yueyao is a lady, and has heard the name of this anti-gold senior.

Scarface led them all the way in, met the white-haired old man, and then introduced them: "This is Miss Dai." "It's a white night." Dai Yueyao thought to herself, this is the name, that night, she had heard it.

They couldn't speak anymore because her brother had already led her over. Everyone stayed in this mountain for one night, and two groups of people came over that night to gather to fight against gold, Dai Yueyao could feel the joy of everyone in this mountain, but at the moment, it was not these men's deeds that she was worried about.

On the morning of the second day, she rested properly, had breakfast, and decided to find the other party and formally thank her. Searching all the way, she went to the big pergola where the leaders gathered on the mountainside, she saw that the other party was standing behind Scarface, there were a lot of people, and someone greeted her, so she stood aside, and it was difficult to pass.

On the other side of the pergola, someone was talking to the crowd.

“…… The current situation is both good and bad...... Although the southwest defeated the army of Zonghan, but to this day, the army of Zonghan has withdrawn from the Sword Pavilion and joined with Tushanwei, and the Sword Pavilion is still in the hands of the Jurchens, everyone knows that the Sword Pavilion enters the southwest, the mountain road is narrow, when the Jurchens withdraw, they light a fire, and continue to destroy the mountain road, although the Huaxia army in the southwest has defeated Zonghan, but to talk about manpower, it is not optimistic, if you want to take the Sword Pavilion by force, I am afraid that you will have to sacrifice a lot of Chinese soldiers......"

“…… In other words, the situation we are facing now is that General Qin's 20,000 troops must be helped by the nearly 100,000 troops of Shangzong Han and Xi Yin, plus the help of one puppet army accomplice after another......"

“…… However, we are not without progress, Dai Mengwei Dai Gong, Wang Zhainan Wang's actions, inspired a lot of people, in less than half a month, there have been Chen Wei Chen General, General Xu Daji Xu, Li Lincheng Li Gong and other four or five armies responded, anyway, some of them have already merged with Dai Gong and others, and some are still on the way north! Heroes, we will soon pass, I believe that there are still hot-blooded people in this world, not only like this, our people, there will be more and more, until the golden dog is defeated, and I return the mountains and rivers——"

The words above were sonorous and powerful, and Dai Yueyao's eyes looked at the killer known as the White Night behind Scarface, but she didn't listen to it much. At this moment, a chaotic sound suddenly came from outside.

"Caught-"

"Damn, bunny—"

"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts!"

"Got it—"

A chaotic voice came, and I didn't know what was going on, Dai Yueyao also looked outside, and after a while, she saw a group of people rushing towards this side, in the middle of the crowd, it was her brother Dai Jincheng who was escorted away, he was beaten to the point that his mouth and nose were bleeding, and someone saw Dai Yueyao and said: "Don't let the other one run away!" ”

There were fierce and vicious people coming over this side, Dai Yueyao leaned back, and the people in the pergola didn't know what was going on, and someone came out and said, "What's wrong?" If you can't say anything well, can this little girl run? ”

Dai Yueyao saw a figure coming silently and standing in front of him, it was him. He had already put his hand on the dagger.

Dai Jincheng was pushed to the center of the lobby, and someone stepped forward and showed some things to Fu Lu in front of him and the person who was talking just now, and he heard someone say: "This little rabbit cub, put information outside!" ”

"Ventilation report, I'm afraid it's not the first time, the information we gathered here has been exposed!"

Everyone was in an uproar, and people looked at Dai Jincheng who was surrounded in the middle with fierce eyes, no one expected that Dai Mengwei would raise the banner of anti-Jin, and his son would be the first to rebel. And Dai Jincheng's rebellion is not the most terrible, if there is even Dai Mengwei's instruction, then what will happen to the group of Han troops who are now called to go over and join Dai Mengwei anyway?

Someone pulled out a knife, and someone came around Dai Yueyao, Fu Lu was stunned in place for a long time, and the next moment, his figure had arrived in front of Dai Jincheng in the whistling room, and said in a deep voice: "Say!" What's going on!? ”

He is old, and his martial arts have also entered the realm of transformation, this loud shout is heart-wrenching, and Dai Jincheng was already afraid in his heart, so he suddenly bowed up and took two steps back in this shout, and he actually let out a crazy laugh in fear.

"Hahahaha...... Hahahahaha...... How can you rabble be the opponent of such a figure as the Jurchen Valley! Rebelling against the Jin Kingdom, attacking Xiangfan, raising the banner of righteousness, do you think you will think like this? They dug a hole for you last year, and everyone jumped into it...... What's going on! I don't want to die with you, can't I-"

Dai Yueyao's face suddenly turned white, and the scarface on the side shouted: "Bai Ye, you get out of the way for me!" ”

"It's none of her business." ”

"Who knows!"

"Damn, traitor's dog children—"

That Dai Jincheng's face twisted and retreated: "Hahaha...... That's right, I'll tell you, you idiots! General Wanyan Yuchi is already coming this way, and you can't run away! I'm the only one who can help you anyway! You guys! As long as you help me, the Jurchens are the opportunity to use people, and you can all live...... You all want to live, I know, as long as you kill this old thing Fulu, the Jurchens only need his head-"

He retreated to the side of the crowd, someone pushed him forward, and Fu Lu looked at him: "Are you a traitor, or are you a traitor, all traitors?" ”

"You're traitors! The black flag is the traitor! Dai Jincheng stretched out his hand and pointed at Fu Lu and the others, and spit spat out of his mouth because of the roar, "The ancestor of the Wu Dynasty was killed by the demon surnamed Ning, you can't do anything!" At the beginning, Qin Xianggong said that he would conquer the southwest, and you people dragged their feet one by two! Are you still from the Wu Dynasty? The Jurchens and the southwest are both defeated, and our Wu Dynasty has a chance to rise again, or the Jurchens defeat the Black Flag, and they have to go back on an expedition, and our Wu Dynasty will have a few years to breathe.

"You are the real traitors! Stupid donkey! Rude people without brains! Let me tell you, since ancient times, distant friendship and close attack, against distant forces, to come and go! Wooing! Attack the enemy who is near, or he will fight you! What's the worst thing that has happened to my Wu Dynasty? It was the Black Flag that defeated the Jurchens, you stupid pigs! Do you know that if the black flag sits big, my Wu Dynasty will really be gone in the next step-"

Blood and spit from his mouth and nose mixed together: "My father reads the books of the sages!" Know what it means to endure humiliation! Stoop to conquer! I read the books of the sages! Know what it means to be a family and a country! If the black flag is not extinguished, the Jurchens cannot be defeated, otherwise who will fight with the black flag, will you go? You stupid asses—I'm all for the Wu Dynasty—"

In the midst of such hysterical roars and roars, there was a warning sound from the mountains in the distance, and someone ran towards this side quickly, and the cavalry team led by Wan Yan Yuchi had been found in the distance. The oppressive atmosphere enveloped the hall of the pergola, and Fu Lu looked around, and his deep voice spread out: "There is still a chance!" Since this puppy's conspiracy was discovered by us in advance, it only means that the golden dog's plan has not yet been completely successful, we will fight with all our strength today, and we must go north as quickly as possible, and warn the righteous and righteous people about this conspiracy, anyway, how many heroes and righteous people can save! How much will be saved! ”

Dai Jincheng also shouted: "You have been surrounded!" There's no way out! You follow me, the only way to live! ”

After he said this, Fu Lu's eyes had already locked on him, and a palm slapped up like thunder, and Dai Jincheng's entire body fell to the ground, his entire body from head to toe, and his bones were broken inch by inch.

On Dai Yueyao's side, people with knives and guns pressed up, and the killer in front of her said, "Maybe it's none of her business!" ”

Scarface also came with a knife: "She's alive and someone is lucky." The killer was stunned.

There was a knife stabbing from behind, he backhanded Dai Yueyao behind his back, the knife light stabbed into his arm, Scarface approached, Bai Ye suddenly swung the knife and slashed up, Scarface looked at him: "Eat things inside and outside." A knife stabbed him in the chest.

Bai Ye's knife stopped in mid-air, and the woman behind him grabbed the clothes on his back and whispered, "It turns out that your name is Bai Ye." "A long knife has been stabbed in her back.

Blood flowed and they snuggled together and died quietly.

Not long after, Wanyan Yuchi's soldiers stepped into this mountain, and he was greeted by a mountain-wide, unyielding sword light-
