Chapter 1041: The Literati's Heart Has No Ruler, and the Martial Artist Knife Loses Its Sheath (2)

Previous Chapter

Under the lonely moonlight, the suddenly appeared young figure like a beast and drove straight forward.

As if to calm the anger that suddenly rose in his heart, his fists and feet were fierce and violent, and the pace of moving forward did not look fast, but a few simple movements did not drag the mud and water, and finally the man's calf was broken by a kick, and the body of the second-to-last Orion was like being hit in the air by a huge force and trembled, and the third-to-last person hurriedly drew the knife, and he had already picked up the long knife on Orion's waist, and smashed it down with the sheath.

The man's long knife was swung in the air, his kneecaps shattered, and he staggered backwards, while the young man's steps were still advancing.

At this time, he was already facing the burly and simple-looking peasant. This man has thick bones and looks honest, but in fact he is obviously already the "old man" among the thugs, he subconsciously tried to hold on to his companion who was jumping back on one leg with one hand, and grabbed the attacking enemy with the other hand.

He stretched out his hand, and the advancing young man let go of the scabbard of the long knife, and also stretched out his left hand, directly grasped the other party's two fingers, and pressed down sharply. The burly strong man's teeth clenched suddenly, his body held on for a moment, and then his knees knelt on the ground, at this time his right palm, index finger, and middle finger were pressed backwards and twisted, and his left hand came up to break the other party's hand, but the young man had already approached, clicked, and broke his fingers, he opened his mouth to scream, and the left hand that broke his fingers and pushed up hit his chin with a bang, and the teeth snapped together, and blood came out from the corners of his mouth.

The man whose knee had been shattered before had not even fallen to the ground, but the young man grabbed the burly man's fingers with his left hand, pressed, folded, and pushed, and the shots were all extremely strong, and the thick knuckles of the strong man were as crisp as dry wood in his hands. At this time, the strong man knelt on the ground, his body leaned back, and the scream in his mouth was broken in his mouth by a push on his chin just now, and the young man's left hand was raised to the sky, and his right hand was closed with his left hand in the air, holding it into a heavy hammer, and slamming it down according to the strong man's face.

From beginning to end, it was almost the force of the anti-joint, and the strong man's body hit the ground, the rubble flew sideways, and the body twisted.

The man with the broken knee fell to the ground, and the long knife in his hand fell away in fright.

In the faint moonlight, the suddenly appeared figure with open hands and arms stretched.

Before the six people in the group could even figure out what was happening, four of them had already fallen under the violent means, and at this time, the figure's hands were stretched outward, and the stretched posture was almost like a human creature. He only stretched for a moment, and then continued to move closer.

At this time, someone shouted, "Are you ...... He is the ...... of the day."

The leader of the leader, who had some kung fu, drew his sword with both hands, and in the midst of a wild shout, he pounced and slashed down. A whistling knife landed on the side of the young man, the young man had approached, one hand pressed his wrist holding the knife, he struggled twice, his wrist was soft, he didn't feel pain, but he no longer had the strength to hold the knife, and he didn't know what was hurt.

The long knife fell to the ground, and the man at the head punched him, but the more powerful fist had already hit his lower abdomen, and he was hit twice in the stomach, and another punch in the left jaw, and then two more punches in the stomach, and when he felt two more punches in the lower jaw, he had already fallen on the slope by the official road, and the dust was splashed.

The remaining one was already running into the distance in the dark.

The slain figure turned around, walked over to Orion, who was struggling on the ground, kicked him in the head again, then leaned down and took the longbow from his back, took three arrows, and shot them in the distance. The man who fled was shot in both legs, then a third in his body, and fell in the faint moonlight.

Screams and wails rang out in the moonlight, and the fallen people rolled or writhed like maggots arching in the darkness. The only standing figure looked at the side of the road, and then slowly walked into the distance, he walked to the man who was still crawling on the ground after the arrow, and after a while, dragged him back along the official road by one of his feet. Cast it in the midst of the multitude.

All that fell from the night sky was the cold moonlight.

Except for the one who had escaped and had previously recognized the identity of the black shadow, the others had not been able to see the general shape of the other party until this moment, but it was a young man in his teens, carrying a burden, but at this moment, it was as if he had caught the food back in the cave, and looked at them with an indifferent gaze.

In the night wind, he had even hummed a strange melody, and everyone could not understand what he was humming.

"The sky is clear, and the flowers are blooming...... A small frog is boiling under a banyan tree by the pond...... I've grown up, stop calling me a little friend...... Uh-huh, little frog, frog is home alone......"

He counted everyone clearly, stood on the side of the road, and didn't want to speak, so he stood on the side of the dark road, humming his favorite nursery rhyme, and after a long while, he turned back and spoke.

"Who sent you? It's not the first time, right? ”

The crowd groaned and wailed, and some cried, "The king......"

"I've heard it, so it's okay if you don't say it."

He paused.

"If you don't say it, you'll die here."

The military rules of the Huaxia Army are strict, and in the treatment of prisoners, in order to maintain the humanity on their side, they usually do not abuse prisoners, and Ning Ji has not learned the skills of torture. And in Aunt Gua's teaching, killing people to pay off debts and pay off debts, these people come to kill people, and it is very reasonable to die here.

He wasn't going to put too much effort into it.

……

There was a very friendly exchange with the six captives.

Infected by Ning Ji's frank attitude, the six people who were injured also explained the ins and outs of the matter in a very sincere manner, as well as all kinds of things that the Li family had done in Tongshan.

In the context of the troubled times of the Jurchen killing, the history of a martial arts family is more simple and crude than imagined. According to several people, before the Jurchen went south for the fourth time, the Li family had accumulated some belongings relying on the relationship of the Great Light Sect, but there was still a lot of gap compared to the old squires and scholar families near Tongshan.

Then a team of Jurchens killed Tongshan, and the officials and scholars in Tongshan were weak and incompetent, and most of them chose to kneel to the Jurchens. However, Li Yanfeng seized the opportunity, he led and encouraged the villagers around him to move to the nearby mountains to take refuge, because of his armed forces, he received a large-scale response at the time, and even clashed with some of the ruling scholars at that time.

At that time, the scholars who knelt down and surrendered thought that they would get the support of the Jurchens, but in fact Tongshan was a small place, and the Jurchens who came here just wanted to loot and leave.

After coming out of the mountains, Li Yanfeng became the actual controller of Tongshan County - even some of the scholar families who entered the mountain with him at the beginning were swallowed by Li Yanfeng after the family property - because he had the reputation of leading the anti-Jin at that time, so he successfully took refuge under Liu Guangshi, and then recruited all kinds of manpower, built Wu Fort, and excluded dissidents, trying to build the Li family into a martial arts clan like the Tiannan Badao back then.

In the name of resisting Jin, the Li family was rampant in Tongshan, and naturally did a lot of things, such as Liu Guangshi wanted to start a war with the north and recruit troops to arrest Ding in the Tongshan area, which was mainly done with the help of the Li family; At the same time, the Li family looted people's wealth in the local area, collected a lot of money and iron tools, which was also because they wanted to do business with the Huaxia Army in the southwest, and Liu Guangshi's side pressed down the task. In other words, although the Li family has done a lot of evil here, most of the things they have looted have been transported to the southwest of the "dog day".

The six people who were beaten badly believed that it was all the fault of the Southwest Huaxia Army.

And speaking of which, the Li family has a grudge against the big devil in the southwest, Li Yanfeng's father Li Ruoque was killed by the big devil, so Li Yanfeng and the people in the southwest have always been incompatible, but in order to take revenge in the future, on the one hand, he learned the method of tyrannizing the knife village, raising private soldiers, and on the other hand, he also had to help loot the people's fat and ointment to support the southwest.

Listening to such an expression, Ning Ji's mood was a little complicated. He wanted to laugh a little, but because the scene was more serious, he held back.

At the same time, in order to eliminate dissidents, the Li family killed people in the local area, which is a real thing, and even set up a private prison in the Li family's Wu Fort, which specially imprisoned some local people who opposed the Li family, and slowly tortured. But while explaining these things, the six people who faced the threat to their lives also said that although the Li family was wrong in the small section, at least the big festival was not lost, he was anti-gold, and the local scholars did not resist gold, so what else could he do if he resisted gold?

Later, perhaps the threat of death gradually faded, and the leader even tried to kneel on the ground to beg for mercy for the Li family, saying: "Since the righteous man and his party are fine, let's leave Tongshan, why do you have to go against the Li family, if the Li family falls, how can the people of Tongshan be innocent." The Li family is anti-gold, and the festival is worthy of it......"

The sky gradually became extremely dark, the night wind became cold, the clouds shrouded the moonlight, and a moment before dawn, Ning Ji dragged the six people to the nearby forest and tied them up, breaking a leg from each of them - these people killed people by force, and it didn't matter if they were all killed, but since they all confessed well, then remove their strength, so that they will not even be as good as ordinary people in the future, and then study how to live, Ning Ji felt that this should be a very reasonable punishment. After all, they said, this is troubled times.

Ning Ji was of course angry about the Li family and the Wu steward who sent them out to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots—although this subjective anger became a little lighter after hearing about the connection between Tongshan and the southwest, but what should be done was still to be done. A few people in front of me said that the matter of the "big festival" was very important, and the reason seemed to be very complicated, but this kind of nonsense is not a complicated topic in the southwest.

Confucianism is not effective in resisting gold, and hooligans are anti-gold, so is the hooligan a good person? Ning Ji has always scoffed at this. Moreover, now the situation of resisting Jin is no longer urgent, the Jin people are defeated in the southwest, and it is difficult to say whether they can fight the Central Plains in the future.

Of course, after asking in detail, he was a little hesitant about the next steps. According to these people, the Wu steward lives in Wubao outside the city on weekdays, while Li Xiaoqing and Xu Dong live in Tongshan County, according to the Li family's local forces, if they kill any of them, the Li family's forces inside and outside the city will probably move, and they are not afraid of this matter, but Wang Jiang, Wang Xiuniang and the rotten Confucian five-person group are still in Tangjiaji at this time, and as soon as the Li family's forces move, won't they have to be arrested again?

And these six people were broken legs, and they couldn't be killed for a while, and I'm afraid that the news will be transmitted back to the Li family sooner or later, and it will be difficult for them to do things if they drag it out for too long.

The wind in the early morning whimpered, he thought about this matter and walked all the way in the direction of Tongshan County. The situation was a little complicated, but the vigorous journey to the rivers and lakes finally began, and his mood was very happy, and then he thought that his father had named himself Ning Ji, which was really prescient.

Because he is called Ning Ji, his birthday can also be called "death day" - that is, the death day of some bad people.

"La-la-la, little frog...... Frog is home alone......"

The first wisp of fish belly white was revealed in the sky, Long Aotian hummed a song, and walked all the way, at this time, many of the bad guys, including Steward Wu, were at home alone and had not yet gotten up......

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

After dawn, in the inn on the Tang family set, Wang Xiuniang and a group of scholars also got up one after another.

Everyone didn't sleep well, their eyes were bloodshot, and there were dark circles around their eyes. And after learning that Xiaolong left in the middle of the night last night, Wang Xiuniang cried again at the dinner table in the early morning, and everyone was silent and embarrassed.

"You say, Xiaolong's young man's temperament won't run back to Tongshan again, right?" At breakfast, someone came up with such an idea.

Everyone thought about it, Fan Heng shook his head and said, "No, can he take revenge when he goes back?" He's not really stunned. ”

Chen Junsheng said: "At this time, if you can walk outside alone, Xiaolong is not stupid." ”

When such words were spoken, no one refuted, and no one dared to add to this doubt: after all, if that young man's little dragon was really stunned and ran back to Tongshan to complain or take revenge, wouldn't his own people have to go back to rescue him out of morality?

Can it be rescued? It's not okay to think about it. It's nothing more than putting yourself in it.

Wang Xiuniang cried for a while about Xiaolong, Lu Wenke had red eyes and buried his head in eating, during the whole process, Wang Xiuniang secretly looked at Lu Wenke a few times, but Lu Wenke didn't look at her. Both of them had a knot in their hearts, and they should have talked about it once, but from yesterday to today, such a conversation has not happened.

In the second half of breakfast, Fan Heng and the others talked about the next trip, speaking of which, they should have left earlier, but Xiuniang's father had already woken up in the morning, according to Xiaolong, his body was temporarily unsuitable for long-distance travel, and he needed to recuperate for two days. Out of moral reasons, everyone can't say that they will start their journey for a while.

The mood of the crowd was a little strange because of this.

Wang Xiuniang had breakfast and went back to take care of her father. The injuries on her face and body were still there, but her mind had cleared up, and she decided to talk to a few Confucian students later, thank them for their care along the way, and ask them to leave here immediately, without continuing at the same time. At the same time, her heart was eager to talk to Lu Wenke, and if Lu Wenke still wanted her, she would persuade him to let go of these things here - this would undoubtedly be a good destination for her.

And if Lu Wenke can't let go of this knot, she doesn't plan to stick it on without a face, just enlighten him and let him go home.

Such a thought is undoubtedly extremely painful for her when she is in love for the first time. Thinking of talking to each other, Lu Wenke went home, and she took care of her seriously injured father and went on the road again - what about that future? In this mood, she secretly wiped her tears a few more times, and before lunch, she left the room and tried to go to Lu Wenke to talk alone.

She walked around the inn several times and did not find Lu Wenke.

Then I found Fan Heng and others, looking for it together, at this time Lu Wenke's burden was gone, everyone inquired nearby, and then they knew where the other party was: not long ago, the red-eyed companion among them left here with the burden on his back, where he went, some people said that he was walking in the direction of Tongshan, and some people said that they saw him going south.

Everyone was stunned for a while, and Wang Xiuniang cried again. At the moment, there are two possibilities, either Lu Wenke is really angry, Xiaolong didn't go back, he ran back, or Lu Wenke felt that he had no face, so he secretly went home. After all, everyone is together from all over the world, and if they don't meet again in the future, his humiliation this time will be able to stay in his heart and never mention it again.

Everyone discussed for a while, Wang Xiuniang stopped her heartache, said words of thanks to Fan Heng and the others, and then asked them to leave here. Fan Heng and the others did not answer positively, and they all sighed for a long time.

On this afternoon, a group of scholars left the place silently without saying a formal goodbye with their luggage and attachés. Just as by chance of reunion, their separation was scattered like duckweed, and these people did not go in the direction of Tongshan again.

In the same afternoon, Lu Wenke returned to Tongshan County, he found the location of the county office, and stood on the side of the road for a while with red eyes and trembling arms.

Think about this journey to the southwest, five or six thousand miles back and forth, he has seen a lot of things, the southwest is not as vicious as everyone thinks, even under the rule of Dai Mengwei in the predicament, you can see a lot of gentlemen's trips, now the ferocious Jurchens have gone, this is under the rule of General Liu Guangshi, General Liu has always been the most admired general of the literati.

I don't believe that this world will be so dark......

I don't believe that a martial artist can really cover the sky with one hand......

I don't believe it......

……

He beat the big drum at the entrance of the county office.

Want to see,

- The end of this world.
