The world is like the autumn wind, and life is like falling leaves. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the past few months in Datong, what Shi Jin has always felt is a sense of desolation that has no roots. This feeling is not because of himself, but because of what he sees all the time about the life of Han slaves.

After the second assassination of Sticky Han, Shi Jin was rescued in the ensuing pursuit, and when he woke up, he was already in the slave cave outside Datong City.

In the decades since the rise of the Jurchen clan, they have successively destroyed Liao and invaded the military, and in this conquest between the south and the north, it is not only the Han people who have become slaves. However, with the gradual stabilization of the Jin regime, those who had previously become slaves either died or gradually became part of the Jin State, and in the past ten years, the largest group of slaves in the Jin State was mostly the Han people in the former Central Plains.

From the initial Jurchen southward journey to the search of mountains and seas a few years ago, within a few years, millions of Han people were exiled to the territory of the Jin Kingdom, these people, whether rich or poor, were indiscriminately reduced to hard labor and slavery, living a life of no one and no ghost or ghost, and there were also rebellions, but most of them ushered in more cruel treatment. In recent years, the policy towards Han slaves in the Jin Kingdom has also begun to soften, killing slaves at will, the master's family has to lose money, and even if a group of animals are raised, it is impossible to be high-pressure whipping for ten years, beating a stick, and rewarding a sweet date, and some Han slaves have gradually had their own little living space.

In the territory of the Jin Kingdom, there are many private slaves now, but the most important thing is that they belong to the Jin court, and they are slaves who mine, work, and work as hard labor. This settlement outside Datong City is full of slaves from nearby mines and workshops, messy shacks, muddy roads, and a hastily fence around the settlement, occasionally guarded by soldiers, but they are all perfunctory, and over time, the lowest level of settlement ecology has finally been formed. Working during the day, obtaining some things to make a living, and finally having some freedom at night, it is not easy to escape, even if the slaves with tattoos on their faces and bones can escape from this settlement, it is extremely difficult to cross thousands of miles of Jurchen land. It was here that Shi Jin woke up.

Who rescued him was not known at first.

In the dark shack, he was taken in by a thin old man. After a few exchanges, Shi Jin learned that under the desperate backwater like the Slave Cave, there has always been an undercurrent of resistance.

The millions of Han people who were taken captive by the Jurchens from the Central Plains used to live a relatively stable life after all, and they were not pigs and dogs who were used to living an inhuman life. Under the initial high pressure and butcher's knife, the mind of resistance was certainly killed over and over again, but when the surrounding environment was a little relaxed, these Han people had Confucian scholars, officials, and gentry, and they could still remember their original life to some extent, so they more or less had some thoughts of rebellion. Such a life is not like a person, but as long as we are united, there is no hope of going back.

It's like those "chivalrous" who have been secretly fighting against the Jurchens, just like some "good people" who are secretly active, these forces may not be great, but there are always some people who, through such and such channels, have escaped or caused some harm to the Jurchens. The old man belonged to such a small organization, and it is said that he also had some contact with the people of the Wu Dynasty, on the one hand, he struggled to survive in this inhuman environment, and on the other hand, there was a small hope, hoping that one day, the Wu Dynasty would be able to raise the Northern Expedition, and they would be able to take another look at the land in the south in their lifetime.

As for who rescued him, the old man couldn't tell.

Shi Jin's injuries were not light, and he was quietly in the shack for more than half a month, and he also heard about the massacre of the Han people because of him. The old man was a scholar before he was arrested, and he probably guessed Shi Jin's identity, but he didn't care about the slaughter outside: "You can't live long, you die early and overlive, you don't have to care about the strong man." In his words, there was also a sense of death.

There are many people gathered in the shack area, even if the old man belongs to a small force, it is inevitable that some people will know where Shi Jin is and choose to go to the informant, for more than half a month, Shi Jin hid and did not dare to go out. During this period, there were also Jurchen stewards searching outside, and one day after more than half a month, the old man had gone out to work, and suddenly someone broke in. Shi Jin's injury was almost healed, and he was about to make a move, but the man obviously knew Shi Jin's origin: "I saved you, something is wrong, come with me." Shi Jin followed the man out of the shack area, and only then did he escape a major search.

The person who rescued him was not very old, wearing a mask with a stiff expression, and the way he looked at his actions looked like a "chivalrous" image who was active at the bottom of Datong. Out of this shack area, the man pointed out a place for Shi Jin to hide, and then roughly explained some of the situation to him: "The great change caused by Wu Qimai's stroke has appeared, Zong Fu Zongbi's transfer of troops has become a fact, the situation in the Jin Kingdom has become tense, and the big war is about to ......" In the end, it was as if there was: "If you want to kill Zong Han, hurry up." ".

Shi Jin pointed out to him, and then remembered another woman who had shown him where to hide, and opened his mouth to talk about the events of that day. In Shi Jin's mind, being surrounded by the Jurchens that day was probably because the woman told the secret, so he asked the other party for a little verification. He also nodded: "In a place like Jinguo, the Han people want to live a good life, and they can't do anything, since you have seen the face of the slut clearly, you should know that there is no warmth to say here, the slut dog thief, kill it together next time!" ”

In this person's words, he was fierce and extreme, but Shi Jin could understand it if he thought about it. It is strange to oppose the Jurchens in such a place, without such ferocity and extremism.

According to the other party's words, he hid nearby, but after all, his injuries were almost healed at this time, and with his skills, few people in the world could catch him. Shi Jin faintly felt in his heart that he had not died after assassinating Sticky Han twice, even if it was the favor of God, it was estimated that he would die the third time, he had no hesitation before, and at this time he had a little more thoughts in his heart - even if he wanted to die, he should be more cautious. So he observed and inquired about the news near Datong.

In April and May, the temperature gradually rose, and the situation near Datong became tense, Shi Jin took a break to find the old man, and during the chat, the other party's small organization seemed to have noticed the change in the general trend, and seemed to have contacted the spies of the Wu Dynasty and wanted to do something big. In this chat, there was another piece of information that made him stunned for a while: "That girl Wu Qiuhe, because she came forward to save you, was chopped to death by the Jurchen god of Ceres, Wanyan Xiyin, with a sword, alas, over the years, Miss Wu and them have saved many people in private, and they don't deserve to die, and they also die......"

In such a hellish life, people have become numb to life and death, and even when they talk about such things, they are not too moved. Shi Jin asked again and again, only to know that the other party was being followed, not betraying him. He returned to his hiding place, and two days later, when the masked man returned, he restrained him with one hand and questioned him sternly.

The other party's martial arts skills are not high, but the smile is sarcastic: "Why lie to you, what's the use of telling you." You're here to kill Muhan, the way of the Assassin is unstoppable, what do you want to do so much? Good for you? The two assassinations failed, and the Jurchens couldn't find you, so they dragged the Han out and killed three hundred, and killed more in private. They're cruel, so you won't assassinate Sticky Han? Why am I telling you the truth? Messing with your mind? You heroes like to think nonsense the most, it is better to make you think that the world is all bad people simpler, anyway, the woman surnamed Wu is dead, she won't blame you, you go and avenge her. ”

"I thought about it, such an assassination will not result after all......"

"What outcome do you want? A person killed Sticky Han, and then went to kill Wu Qimai? Save the world? You assassinate Sticky Han twice as a Han person, and then kill it a third time, this is the best result, speaking of which, it is the breath in the heart of the Han people that has not dispersed! The Jurchens want to kill, kill and kill, and you haven't seen the time when they killed at will at the beginning. ”

Shi Jin looked at him: "Then what are you doing?" ”

"Do what I find interesting." As soon as the other party spoke, his mood slowed down, and the two walked through the woods and looked at the shack area from a distance, "What place do you think this is?" Do you think there is anything you can do to save the world? No one can do it, Wu Qiuhe, that woman, just wants to buy one or two people in private and sell them back to the south, there is going to be a war, such and such people want to make trouble for Zong Han and want to blow up the Great Courtyard...... The old man who took you in, they pointed to a big riot, and then fled to the south together, maybe the Wu Dynasty's fine work deceived them, but...... It's all right, you can do something, it's better than not doing it well. ”

"You've come here, you've killed Sticky Han twice, and you can't think about it. It doesn't matter, you go and kill your sticky Han, I'll do my thing, do my best, obey the destiny of heaven, maybe you will really kill him. If you have hatred in your heart, then continue to hate! ”

The other party is really a Han who is messing around in the Northland, and he is a mess of self-abandonment. Shi Jin's heart trusted this person a little, and then he had two more contacts with the other party, from the other party's mouth, the old man's mouth, Shi Jin gradually learned more news, the old man's side, it seems that he was instigated by the Wu Dynasty spies, and was about to prepare for a big uprising, and most of the underground forces of the rest of the parties were already ready to move. At this time, in the Central Plains, there seemed to be a lot of things going on, such as Liu Yu's anyway, and the Wu Dynasty was ready to face the Jurchens......

As for the young man wearing the mask, after some understanding, Shi Jin probably guessed his identity, which was the wanted person nicknamed "Clown" near Datong. This person's martial arts skills are not high, and his reputation is not as good as most of the "bandits" of the Jin Kingdom on the list, but at least in Shi Jin's opinion, the other party does have a lot of skills and means, but his temperament is extreme and elusive, and Shi Jin can't quite guess the other party's thoughts.

"The battle is about to start, and these guys from the Wu Dynasty are pointing at these Han slaves to make a big riot and cause chaos in the Jin Kingdom...... I really don't have any ambition at all......"

"That old man, they didn't think of these things in their hearts, but life is better than death, even if a lot of people will die, maybe they can run a few, and a few run are counted as ......"

"Me...... I want to do something to the Great Factory, most of the craftsmen in the Great Courtyard are Han, damn, if they can all be blown up at once, Wanyan Xiyin really wants to cry, hahahaha......"

Hearing what the other party said, Shi Jin raised his gaze: "You...... After all, they are all Han Chinese. ”

"What's the difference between being dead and dead?"

"You!" Shi Jin inherited the mantle of Zhou Dong, and he was righteous in his heart, and when he heard this, he suddenly grabbed the other party's neck, and the "clown" also looked at him, without the slightest fluctuation in his eyes: "Yes, kill me." ”

"You...... You shouldn't be like this, there's always ...... There's always another way......"

"You assassinated Sticky Han, I didn't point fingers at you, and you didn't point fingers at me, either kill me, or ...... I am your predecessor, what do you know about this place in Jinguo? In order to save you, now Mandu Daru is checking on me all day long, and I am the unjustified disaster......"

He muttered, Shi Jin couldn't do it after all, and when he heard the name of Namandu Daru, he said, "It's great, I'll find a time to kill him." "But I knew in my heart that if I wanted to kill Mandu Daru, I would waste an opportunity to assassinate after all, and if I wanted to make a move, I still had to kill a more valuable target after all.

Time gradually passed, and the atmosphere in the secret became more tense day by day. The weather became hotter and hotter, and then on that day in late June, a major riot finally broke out.

On that day, Shi Jin witnessed and participated in that huge defeat......

************

The sudden outbreak of the riot was on the night of June 21, when defections and fights rang out inside and outside the city, and some people lit a fire, and the Han knights in Datong City went in the direction of the Dazaoyuan, causing a commotion.

Due to the disconnection of the entire intelligence system, Shi Jin did not get first-hand information, but before that, he had already decided that he would start a third assassination once the incident happened.

This time, the goal is not to finish Yan Zonghan, but to be a relatively simpler and perhaps more important think tank within the Jurchens, Wanyan Xiyin.

Shi Jin rushed to the mansion of the god of ceres, looking for the whereabouts of Yan Xiyin, and before he arrived there, there was already a high-spirited sound of horns and gongs and drums from the other end of the Great Courtyard.

A massacre and manhunt is unfolding.

Shi Jin remembered what the clown said, and he didn't know if the other party was really involved, but until he quietly entered the mansion of the god of ceres, at least the flames were ignited on the side of the Great Courtyard, and it seemed that the scope of destruction was not too large.

The whole city was in serious turmoil, Shi Jin observed a little in the mansion of the god of ceres, and knew that the other party was not at this time, he wanted to find a place to hide secretly, and when the other party went home, he would strike a blow. Later, he was still noticed by the Jurchen masters, and after some fighting and chasing, Shi Jin crashed into a room in the Ceres' Mansion and saw what was on display on the opposite side.

The huge room, placed and collected, is the spoils collected by Wanyan Xiyin in the large and small battles in his life, a thick and clumsy spear was placed in front, seeing it, Shi Jin vaguely seemed to see the moonlight more than ten years ago.

It was Zhou Dong's spear.

The name on the rivers and lakes is - Canglongfu.

It spanned more than ten years and quietly came to Shi Jin......

……

The rabble that suddenly launched was no match for Wanyan Xiyin's deliberate arrangement, and this night, the riot gradually turned into a one-sided massacre - in the history of the Jurchen regime, such repression was far from once or twice, but only gradually decreased in the last two years.

Shi Jin carried a spear on his back and fled all the way, and when he passed through the slave slum outside the city, the army had already surrounded it, the flames were burning, and the blood was spreading. In this chaos, Shi Jin finally got rid of the pursuing enemy, and he tried to go in to find the old man who had taken him in, but he couldn't find it after all. So he turned all the way to the more remote mountains, and when he came to the little hut where he was temporarily hidden, someone was already coming in front of him.

It was the "clown" who was half bloodstained, and he couldn't find Shi Jin when he came over, knocked around, then found a stone, and collapsed.

Shi Jin walked out, and the "clown" glanced at him: "There is something I ask you." ”

"You didn't blow up the Great Yard." Shi Jin said, and then looked around, "Is there anyone behind?" ”

The other party shook his head: "I didn't plan to blow it up." The construction of the Great Courtyard is starting every day, and today it blows up a bunch of military funds, what can it be considered for the Jurchen army? ”

“…… What's the matter? ”

"Liu Yu's regime surrendered to the Chengwu Dynasty, which would awaken the last unwilling people in the Central Plains to rise up and resist, but after all, the puppet Qi and the Jin State controlled the Central Plains for nearly ten years, and there were as many people who were dead as there were unwilling. Last year, the Tian Hu regime incident, the newly ascended Tian Shi, Lou Shuwan and others teamed up with Wang Juyun to plan to rebel against the Jin State, but in the middle, of course, there are many people who will surrender to the Jurchens as soon as the Jin State goes south. ”

The clown reached into his arms and took out a thing: "Wanyan Xiyin has such a list in his hand, which belongs to the Han people who have mastered the handle, have had many contacts in the past, and expressed their willingness to surrender." I've been playing with the idea for it for a while, and it's been pieced together, and after checking, it should be true......"

Shi Jin opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, and the other party handed over the thing: "Once the Central Plains War starts, you can't let people just start an incident, and someone will be stabbed in the back immediately." This thing is very important, I am not good at martial arts, it is difficult to take it south, I can only ask you, take it and hand it over to Tian Shi, Lou Shuwan, Yu Yulin, there is evidence attached to the list, you can take a look at it, don't hand it over to the wrong person. ”

“…… Good. Shi Jin took the thing, "You ......"

"You don't want to live anyway, even if you want to die, you will die after handing over your things." The other party staggered to his feet, took out a small bag and shook it, "I have medicine, it's not a big problem, I'll have to go back later, and there are still people to save." Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, what did I do, Wanyan Xiyin will soon find out, you take this thing, it won't be only the Jurchens who will chase you along the way, go, as long as you send it, it's a trivial matter here. ”

Shi Jin nodded: "Don't worry, I will be sent when I die." When he turned to leave, he turned back and asked, "By the way, you're from the Black Flag?" ”

"Huaxia Army, codenamed Clown...... Thank you. In the darkness, the figure stretched out his hand and saluted.

Shi Jin stood there for a moment, then turned around and ran south.

In the sky, there are eagles and falcons whirling.

The world is like an autumn wind, but life is like a fallen leaf. At this time, the wind is blowing, and no one knows where he will drift in the next moment, but at least for now, feeling the wind blowing, Shi Jin's heart is a little calmer.

The spear behind him seems to still carry the iron arm Zhou Dong's shout ten years ago, accompanied by him, indomitable!
