Chapter 574: The Branding Without Blades, The City Without Tears (I)

"Go see Grandmaster Zhou." Peng Dahu said, after a while, afraid that Shi Jin would not know, and added, "Sect Master Zhou Dong Zhou." ”

"Grandmaster Zhou...... Still in the city? Shi Jin hesitated and asked.

"Well, that's right, look at the one in front of you, it is Zuo Wenying and Zuo Woman beside Grandmaster Zhou." Peng Dahu said, "Sect Master Zhou summoned us and other Green Forest people to plan a big thing. ”

He may be worried that Shi Jin is unwilling to participate, and he said a little cautiously, looking at Shi Jin's expression, he said: "If this matter is successful, nine deaths and one life, but it can prevent this Jurchen army from going south, if it doesn't work, it will be ten deaths, Brother Tai will see Grandmaster Zhou for a while, you can consider doing it or not." ”

"Hmm." Shi Jin nodded and said, "Kill Sticky Han." ”

He went north and south all the way, for this matter, but when he heard Qian Fei talk about it before, he still had a very casual and free mentality, and when he said a few words at this time, it was already a heavy weight in his heart. Seeing his eyes and expression, Peng Dahu also nodded.

At this time, the city was either hunting or slaughtering lively, and some of the troops or big families in the streets and alleys saw that they could not rush out, so they built fortifications and started street battles with the Jurchens. Many more were driven out of their homes, taken prisoner, or humiliated and slaughtered in large numbers. The three of them ran all the way, passing through several streets and alleys where they were fighting, and then encountered a small group of Jurchen enemies in a courtyard, and then fought again.

At this time, Shi Jin saw that Zuo Wenying was using a willow leaf double knife in addition to darts. A woman's strength may not be as strong as a man's, but her sword skills are fierce and swift. When suddenly encountering the enemy, he rushed to the crowd, and the blade brought out a flying blood line in the crowd, and each knife must take the throat, lower abdomen, crotch, and leg vital points, most of these places are soft, either directly fatal, or make people lose the ability to move, or a large amount of bloodletting, and she is separated from people with one touch, and seeks the maximum result with the least strength, which is really the most suitable way to fight on the battlefield.

As for that Peng Dahu. Although the martial arts are slightly worse than Zuo Wenying. But the strength is strong, and the internal strength of the body can also be called solid. His kung fu is probably in his hands, and his sword skills are not very good, but after his cultivation arrives. Kill a few creeps. It's still neat. And Shi Jin has been fighting on the city wall for a day. He already understood the principle of seeking maximum damage with the simplest movements, and after stabbing a few people to death with a calm but concise marksmanship, he attracted Zuo Wenying's approving gaze.

Soon after. As the sky gets darker, the originally bustling city is lit up at this time, only the light of the fire reflects the night sky, and the black smoke column can be clearly seen in the background of the night. The sounds of all kinds of fighting and cries are clearer in the city. Crossing a street, they also saw the Jurchens driving the nearby captives out, and after a while, after entering a dilapidated and barren courtyard on the side of the city, Shi Jin finally saw the green forest people gathered here.

All kinds of swords, guns, and halberds, different dresses and voices, and most of the martial artists with blood on their bodies gathered because of Zhou Dong's reputation. There is a bamboo forest outside this courtyard, there are about four or five courtyards inside, the most central one has a rockery and a pond, the pond has dried up because no one has taken care of it for a long time, Shi Jin calculated when he entered, gathered here, there were probably hundreds of green forest warriors, a few seriously injured and half of the minor injuries, most of them should have participated in the daytime city defense battle.

There was no fire, and the voices of the people were not high, except for the occasional moan of pain in the dark and dreary courtyard. The gray-haired old man who bandaged a man with a broken leg in front of the main hall was the legendary "Iron Arm" Zhou Dong.

Outside the courtyard, people are still touching this side. or exhausted, or carrying the wounded on their backs. Several warriors in good spirits distributed dry food and water to the crowd.

Green Forest said that big is big, and small is small, especially after such a battle, any two people can probably talk in a low voice for a while. If Shi Jin had the same temperament as before, he was afraid that he would have mingled with the people around him earlier, but after Liang Shan broke, his mentality changed a lot, and he found a place to sit down, nibble on dry food and drink water to restore his body, so he didn't say much, just looked at the old man who was occasionally busy in the crowd. As Lin Chong's master, a world-famous knight, what can be seen at this time is actually not too much extra.

As the night deepened, the restlessness in the city still did not stop, and at a certain moment, when someone helped the wounded to pass, Shi Jin's eyebrows moved slightly, and he followed him all the way, until the man put the wounded man in the corner of the wall, Shi Jin recognized that the man who was injured in his leg and half of his body was covered with blood was Qian Fei. Shi Jin walked over and bandaged him with the wound medicine: "Brother Qian." ”

"Shi, Shi, brother." Qian Fei recognized the person in front of him and grabbed his arm abruptly, "Where have you been...... Oh, you're here...... What about Brother Chen? ”

Several of them went all the way north, and when they entered Xinzhou City, only Shi Jin, Qian Fei and Chen Xiuqing were left, and after arranging Shi Jin and Chen Xiuqing in the people's team, Qian Fei went to inquire about Zhou Dong's whereabouts, but he didn't expect to meet again at this time.

Shi Jin told Qian Fei about Chen Xiuqing's death, Qian Fei closed his eyes, and took a sad breath when he opened them. He actually wanted to go over to inform Shi Jin and Chen Xiuqing after hearing the news of Zhou Dong, but when he arrived there, the city wall was already broken, and he fled all the way, and was rescued after being injured.

As the two were talking, Zhou Dong's voice sounded not far away.

"All the brothers in the green forest, the old man Zhou Dong, it is the greatest honor of the old man's life to be able to fight side by side with you today. What is the situation of the war, you have all experienced it today, not to mention, if the Jurchens go south, they will definitely destroy the lives of tens of millions of compatriots in the Wu Dynasty. The old man's idea is very simple, we will assassinate Sticky Han in Xinzhou City, and do our part for the people of the Wu Dynasty. ”

"Regardless of the success or failure of this trip, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are no lives in ten deaths, but today in the city, the fierce people of the Jurchens have seen it. The old man is eighty years old, and he has lived enough, and he is willing to pin his old body on such a slim matter, but you have wives and children in your family, or you have parents, and today you can fight with the Jurchens on the city wall, and there is no loss in morality. Now the city gate is occupied by the Jurchens, but with your skills. If you want to escape from the city, there is still a chance...... What the old man wants to say is ......"

Zhou Tong has a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, but his eloquence may not be very good, so he thought about it at this time: "What the old man wants to say is that tonight, among you, if you are seriously injured, the old man will arrange for you to leave." Assassinate Sticky Han, ...... everyone"

As he was saying this, someone in the crowd spoke: "Old man Zhou." I know what you're going to say. "The crowd looked at the past. But it was a sword-wielding Taoist with crane hair and long hair, this man was also old, but his body was covered in blood, and he obviously killed a lot of people in the war. His name is Qiu Henian. He is also a well-known old man on the rivers and lakes.

I only heard him say, "There are people who want to stay today." Naturally, if there are people who don't want to stay, they can't be considered greedy for life and afraid of death. It's just that the Jurchens are so fierce. After they swung their army south, how could you and my wives and children and parents have a good death, at this time listen to the voice of this Xinzhou City, and the wives and children in my family will scream miserably on the other day. I stay in the year of the crane and walk with you. ”

Zhou Tong arched his hand.

Everyone thought of the Jurchens they saw on the city wall, and people came out one after another: "I'll go with Zhou Yingying." ”

"I'm going to kill the sticky ......"

"And me."

"Although I am injured, I can still fight, and I will never leave......"

"If you can walk with Zhou Yingying, even if you die, your life will not be in vain!"

When the voice sounded, Zhou Tong pressed his hands: "The old man understands, it's just that among us, there are still seriously injured brothers, they have shed enough blood, and the old man must arrange for them to leave." If any of you have done this, come and tell the old man, if not, the old man will pick the person, and I hope that the one who is picked will not resign from this heavy responsibility. ”

After Zhou Tong finished saying this, he turned around to discuss with others, and the crowd spoke enthusiastically, and the blood boiled at the mention of the assassination of Sticky Han, and many people could understand the meaning. However, after a while, Shi Jin also saw the figures of some people leaving silently and quietly in the dark. For such a thing, if you want to hide it from Zhou Dong, it is definitely impossible, but from beginning to end, the old man did not say anything about it, nor did he arrange for someone to stop it.

Someone came over to count the number of seriously injured, and Zhou Tong walked between the courtyards, talking in a low voice to people one by one, probably arranging for the people to escort the wounded away. When the old man walked to Shi Jin's side, he asked him for his name and what he had learned, and then arched his hand and walked away. Shi Jin's martial arts are not inferior to Fu Lu and Zuo Wenying around Zhou Dong, the old man can probably determine that he is a master just by looking at his frame and listening to his breathing, and most of the people he arranged to leave are young and have low martial arts, so naturally they will not talk about Shi Jin's inclusion in the list.

Near midnight, more than a dozen people were gathered to escort more than a dozen seriously injured warriors away, some warriors said that they would never leave here, but for a while there was no way to mother-in-law, a Jurchen team had swept to this side, and the flames spread. Everyone left in two directions in confusion.

By the time I moved to another hiding place that had already suffered a military scourge, it was early in the morning. The seriously injured Qian Fei had already been escorted away, and there were about seventy people gathered on Zhou Dong's side, which was all the strength to stab Sticky Han next.

These things that happened in Xinzhou City, many years later, were said to be impassioned, but in the meantime, there was no such feeling. The pain and fatigue of a day of fighting swept up, even if it was said in blood, it was just a deliberate encouragement between each other, staying here, will there be hope for the assassination, what will happen after the assassination, a qiē seems so slim, only the word death, here becomes real.

In the darkness, the sound of killing in the city has not stopped, Shi Jin sat in a corner of this courtyard and closed his eyes to recuperate, and when the night was a little quieter, he opened his eyes and saw the old man walking towards this side. He stood up in some surprise and arched his hand, and the old man arched his hand at him, pointed to a collapsed wooden pillar on the side, and motioned for Shi Jin to sit down.

"Qian Fei told me before that there is a chivalrous warrior with strong martial arts who is the sibling brother of the old man's disciple. When I saw you, I didn't expect it, but then he told me, and I remembered that looking at your frame, you are proficient in stick art. You are a disciple of Wang Jin's sect leader, 'Nine Pattern Dragon' Shi Jin, right? Zhou Tong looked at him and smiled, then sat down, "You are Lin Chong's brother." (To be continued......)
