Section 20: Peace
Nongquan Blade is calm on the surface, but the waves are rolling in his heart. When he was studying in Germany, he heard about the coup d'Γ©tat in Hawaii. I only felt unbelievable in my heart, and asked all the classmates around me, but few people dared to believe such a thing. After graduating last year, he made a special trip to Hawaii, and he just wanted to stay there for a few days, solve his doubts, and leave. Who knows, the deeper he goes, the more incredible he feels, he stayed in Hawaii from the beginning of the Xinhai year until September, and then set off to return home.
When he began to hear Fang Xinru's name, he didn't think about it in Hawaii. Listening to Jiang Yiwu's explanation along the way, he knew Fang Xinru's true identity.
Nongquan Blade understands that if the Tan family hurts Fang Xinru this time, Changsha will probably be difficult to be peaceful. Not to mention anything else, the Chaling Tan family, a century-old family, may be uprooted.
How did it get to this point? The Nongquan Blade was speeding forward, and at the same time he asked in his heart.
I don't know if Fang Xinru led the killers away, or the Tan family didn't dare to make a noise, only groping in secret, the three of them along the way, although they saw the nocturnal knife hand from time to time, but under the guidance of the Nongquan Blade, they all dodged.
Fortunately, the Governor's Mansion was not very far from the city gate, and Nongquan Blade was extremely familiar with Changsha, so he took the two of them to copy the path, and after a while, they came to a street corner at the city gate.
Because outside the gate is the camp of the Wuchang Han army, it is particularly heavily guarded. Dozens of people or guns or knives, and there are also antlers and wooden barriers, which are intricately arranged, blocking the city gate; The lanterns and torches of the Liangzi pine are even more within three feet of the city gate, illuminating as if it were daytime. Fortunately, the Tan family only thought about cutting off the head of the Han army first, but they didn't think about taking down the Wuchang Han army in one fell swoop. Therefore, the Han army camp sounded extremely quiet.
Nongquan Jian looked at the situation at the gate of the city, and knew that with only three of them, he would never be able to break through. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked Jiang and Wu:
"Two brothers, can you trust me with the Nongquan Blade?"
Jiang Yiwu and Wu Zhaolin glanced at each other, and Jiang Yiwu asked, "Why did Xihou say this?" β
"Looking at the situation at the city gate, the three of us decided not to be able to break through, I had to be taught by strangers when I was a child, but I could fly the eaves and walk the wall. These high walls can't stop me. If the two brothers can trust me, they will give me the talisman to carry the army. I swear by the Blade of Nongquan that I will raise troops into Changsha within a quarter of an hour. β
After saying that, Jiang Yiwu and Wu Zhaolin were silent, the two of them were just the first time they saw Nongquan Blade, although he had the grace to report the news, but people's hearts were unpredictable, so they handed over the talisman, that is, the life and death of tonight. To be honest, neither of them has a bottom in their hearts.
Nongquan Blade didn't say anything more, just waited quietly in the dark. He also knew that this matter was really important, although he was sincere, but after all, he knew each other for the first time.
But after a cup of tea, I saw Wu Zhaolin open his mouth and say: "Bo Kui, I believe in crossing the river." At this point, there is no other way. The most important thing is to save the third son! β
When Jiang Yiwu heard Wu Zhaolin say this, he turned his heart sideways and took out the talisman from his arms. Solemnly handed over to Nongquan Blade. Nongquan Blade reached out to take it, but found that Jiang Yiwu was still holding it tightly. He was a little surprised, looked up at Jiang Yiwu, and saw Jiang Yiwu with a serious face, and said in a dumb voice: "Tonight, the life and death of a few of us, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Changsha, are entrusted to Xihou's hands!" β
Nongquan Blade's heart tightened, and he said in a low voice: "If you fail to be trusted, people and gods will abandon you!" β
With that, Nongquan Blade took the talisman, turned and walked into the shadows, and disappeared in a short time.
Jiang Yiwu and Wu Zhaolin stood in the autumn night of Changsha, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, the trees were like demons, and the leaves rustled from time to time. The two didn't dare to move, just waited anxiously in the depths of this street corner.
Suddenly, Wu Zhaolin stabbed Jiang Yiwu and pointed behind him, Jiang Yiwu looked, but there was a fire in the east, and the sky was red and red.
Jiang Yiwu was even more anxious in his heart, and he rushed over if he had the heart, but he knew that he didn't have the kung fu of the Nongquan Blade, and he was afraid that it would not be helpful to pass.
He was anxious to wait, and hated himself for being incompetent, so he couldn't help but punch the wall. I don't want that wall to be an old wall, in disrepair, maybe it was not strong at that time, Jiang Yiwu punched out with anger, and his strength was quite strong. Half of the wall was destroyed in one fell swoop.
The street wall collapsed with a loud bang. Even in the daytime, you can hear it clearly, let alone in the quiet of the night?
The soldiers guarding the gate pulled the bolts of their guns and shouted, "Who is it? A few knife men rushed out, dragging the knives and rushing over.
Wu Zhaolin sighed secretly, as soon as he pulled Jiang Yiwu, the two of them were about to hide in the depths of the alley, at this moment, they only heard a cannon outside the city gate, and the heavy city gate was blown to pieces, followed by the sound of countless people shouting. In front of him, dressed in black and holding a sword, he rushed past the soldiers who blocked him in the blink of an eye, and walked out of a bloody path. The two of them looked back and saw that it was the Nongquan Blade.
A few swordsmen who were about to come over, seeing the great change in the city gate, each took a few looks, and two of them still didn't stop, rushing forward, but they were reporting to the city, and the rest of the people, turning back with their knives, greeted the rushing Wuchang Han army.
Nongquan Blade knew that these swordsmen were cultivated by the Tan family's masters, and they were so good at their kung fu that even he didn't dare to say that he could retreat in the fight of these people. But at this time, I'm afraid that only he can stop these knife hands.
Nongquan Blade gritted his teeth and went up with his sword, but at this moment, he heard a few gunshots behind him, and several swordsmen fell to the ground. As soon as Nongquan Blade turned around, he saw the Han army roaring, but he didn't know who fired the gun.
Jiang Yiwu and Wu Zhaolin were overjoyed when they saw the Han army rushing towards them. As soon as the two discussed with Ma Rong, they divided into two routes, Jiang Yiwu and Ma Rong led people to seize the Governor's Mansion, and Wu Zhaolin led the way by Nongquan Blade and went to the firelight to support Fang Xinru.
The flowers bloomed two and each showed a branch, just Wu Zhaolin and Nongquan Blade, leading all the way to the firelight in the city, and met a few swordsmen along the way, all of them were shot down by the sharpshooters in the Han army. Nongquan Jian paid close attention and found that the person who shot the gun, although he was also wearing the clothes of the Han army, was tied with a red scarf on his left upper arm. This red scarf, the former Nongquan Blade has been seen in Hawaii.
Wu Zhaolin and Nongquan Blade led the people all the way to the firelight, and searched carefully, but there was no trace of Fang Xinru. Both of them were a little anxious, but there was silence all around, and only the voice of Jiang Yiwu's team was faintly heard in the distance.
Where did this believer go?
Nongquan Blade looked around, and suddenly found that those people with red scarves around their arms were all reflecting the firelight, looking carefully at something on the wall, and after a while, one of them shouted: "Here it is!" β
Several people hurriedly gathered around, but saw that on the wall, there were two horizontal bars drawn, and a diagonal line in the middle was connected, and everyone knew that it was an English "Z".
"This is the sign of the third prince," said a man with a red scarf in his arm, "and he's nearby." β
"But we've already searched the surroundings!" Wu Zhaolin was very anxious.
Nongquan Blade suddenly remembered something and said, "I know where it might be!" Where the narrow alleys are short-handed, killing people is like grass and not heard! He must be in the middle of an alley! β
Hearing Nongquan Blade's words, the leader with the red scarf on his arm was a little surprised, he didn't expect to meet such a person in his homeland.
Before a few people could say more, they dispersed like a flood and went to search the narrow streets and alleys of Changsha.
By this time, the sky was already blue, and the sun was about to rise. Although there is some mist in the city, it is just like a veil, which does not affect the vision. The leader with the red scarf wrapped around his arm deliberately went all the way with Nongquan Blade, although the two did not talk, but they secretly tested each other.
After a while, the two of them walked to an alley to the east of the fire, and they were still far away, and a bloody breath came to their faces. Nongquan Blade and the leader glanced at each other, lifted their figures, and headed towards the entrance of the alley.
As soon as the two of them stepped on the land at the mouth of the alley, they felt that something was wrong. When I looked down, I saw a river bubbling under my feet, but it was red blood! The blood was dripping, and it didn't stop at all.
The two of them looked at each other, and they both saw the look of horror in their eyes. As soon as they entered the alley, the two saw corpses crowded together, including swordsmen in night clothes and soldiers in New Army uniforms. Layer upon layer, I don't know how many died.
The leader pulled off the red scarf from his left arm, wrapped it around his mouth and nose, and tied it at the back of his head. Take a step sideways and block the hooded Nongquan blade behind you. The alley was extremely narrow, and the two of them couldn't walk around side by side, not to mention that there were so many corpses? The two of them seemed to climb mountains and mountains, turning over layer after layer, following the corpse, and walked straight for half an hour before they heard the muffled sound of fighting in the distance.
Both of them were overjoyed, and the leader stepped on the wall with his left foot, and then he got up, followed by his feet, and in an instant he went to the top of the wall, and the cat's waist went to the place where the fight was. The Nongquan Blade followed closely behind.
Turning the alley, they entered a wider alley, and the two saw Fang Xinru, who had been looking for all night.
I saw Fang Xinru holding a sword in both hands, horizontal in front of him, dressed in a white shirt, and his back was extremely white. It's not like a night of fierce fighting. About a step or two in front, there was a knife hand, but the man followed Fang Xinru's advance, stepping back step by step. Behind him, there were more than a dozen swordsmen, all of whom slowly retreated. At the back of the knife hand are Tan Yanzhao and Mei Xin.
Seeing this, the leader didn't greet Fang Xinru, but just clapped his hands with his hands, three long and two short, and then took out a cylinder from his arms, twisted the bottom end, and heard a sound, and a brilliant meteor exploded in the blue sky. Seeing the meteor, there were suddenly countless long howls in all directions, followed by the roof of the fourth dimension, and countless figures rushed up, quickly surrounding here.
Hearing the sound of high-fives in his ears, Fang Xinru knew that help had arrived, laughed, and took a long breath. Kick forward, swing your sword and slash. The knifeman's face was frightened, and he hurried to block it, but he didn't seem to have any strength. was spearheaded by Fang Xinru and cut in half. The knife hand behind took the opportunity to stab Fang Xinru in the left rib. Fang Xinru took advantage of the situation and swung his heavy sword and blocked it sideways. Only then did Nongquan Blade see that Fang Xinru's chest was blood-red and blood-red, dripping straight down.
The Farmer Blade and the leader scurried to the top of the wall to the place of battle. At this moment, Fang Xinru cut down a few more people and forced them straight towards Tan Yanzhao and Mei Xin. Seeing this, Nongquan Blade shouted,
"Keep people under the knife!"
Who knew that Fang Xinru didn't pay attention to it, he still swung forward with a sword, a sword and a person, and inadvertently arrived in front of Mei Xin, who was already frightened and her legs were as soft as cotton, and when she saw Fang Xinru walking closer, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy. That Fang Xinru just smiled contemptuously at the corner of his mouth, and still cut off Mei Xin's head with a sword.
At this time, there were only two knife hands left in front of Tan Yanzhao. At this moment, he retreated to the entrance of the alley, turned around, and ran away.
Fang Xinru scolded secretly: "Coward! When he was about to chase after him, he was stopped by two swordsmen who sacrificed their lives, and when he slashed over the two of them and rushed out of the alley, he saw that Tan Yanzhao had already gone far away. Fang Xinru sneered, held the heavy sword flat, turned around twice in place, and flew the sword out with force by inertia. I saw that the heavy sword swirled a few times in the air, and it was deeply rooted in Tan Yanzhao's back. Tan Yanzhao was on the ground, convulsed a few times, and then didn't move.
Seeing Tan Yanzhao's servant on the ground, Fang Xinru turned around, took off the red scarf on his face, and smiled at the agricultural spring blade that flew over.
"Brother Nong, the culprit has been executed, this matter is over, can you do it?"
