Verse 40: Joy and suffering
"Honestly, don't move, or you'll break your heads."
The roar of the big man was shocking, and the two strange weapons were aimed at Wang and Liu respectively, and the three-edged spear head half a foot long at the front was flashing in the firelight.
His weapon is now unpopular, and his skills have almost been lost, but in the era of rampant rangers, it was once the standard for public hunting, and it was specially used to lock and hold weapons, especially for swords.
It's just that the requirements for users are high, and the strength, skills, and speed must be had, and with the changes of the times, the imperial court has become more and more strict in controlling civilian weapons, and this kind of weapon has quickly withdrawn from the configuration and is gradually difficult to see.
The Continental Ranger is in decline. However, this weapon was carried forward by the Wa Kingdom, where ronin samurai became increasingly rampant, and was transformed into a one-handed lightweight outfit designed to restrain the long, narrow and easily broken Wa sword.
Wang Nianjing Liu Wenshun's sword skills are not weak, and he can also be called experienced in a hundred battles, but he does not know the characteristics of this weapon, he was caught off guard, and the big Han is stronger than them, so he was defeated and captured in one move.
The Iron Bull is the type that becomes more and more crazy the more he fights, and the blood gushes out, and the violent nature of the savage formed by the fight is aroused, ignoring a few wounds on his body, and pounces on the other assassins.
After intercepting and killing the assassin and ordering his subordinates to treat his injuries quickly, Zhao Yue came over vigilantly to inspect the unexpected visitors.
The big man in front of him is still significantly taller than Zhao Yue, who is one meter eight faster, he should have a nine-foot long figure, a red face and a yellow beard, and in the dim night, like the temple protector god is about to appear, majestic.
Zhao Yue's eyes were sharp, he could see things at night, and there was firelight and moonlight, and he looked at the weapon in the hand of the big man, a pair of water-milled steel, and couldn't help blurting out: "This hero is Yuan Lang of Huaixi, right?" ”
Dahan raised his voice in surprise and asked rhetorically, "The little boy is Cangzhou Zhao Yue?" ”
"Exactly down there."
Dahan sighed and said: "I was thinking before, except for the little overlord of Cangliang in the world, who else can be such a young hero?" As expected. ”
Zhao Yue smiled: "Don't dare to be a hero and praise." ”
Dahan collected his weapon, "Today is also a coincidence, I wanted to rush overnight, but I saw the firelight and heard the fight, and I was curious to touch it to take a look, but I ran into a masked man in the forest who was waiting for an opportunity to release cold arrows, and was killed by me." These three people were knocked unconscious by me, and they will be disposed of by the little boy. ”
While speaking, the sound of horses' hooves was urgent, and Ma Ling returned first, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhao Yue was fine.
Zhao Yue introduced Yuan Lang with a smile, "Thanks to Yuan Zhuangshi's help, I won the thief." ”
Ma Ling hurriedly thanked him.
After being polite to each other, Malinti left for interrogation.
Zhao Yue invited Yuan Lang to the temple to rest for one night.
Yuan Lang did not shirk.
The two drank tea and chatted.
"Brother Yuan is in a hurry, but there is something at home? If you are in a hurry, Yue has a horse to help. ”
Yuan Lang smiled and waved his hand: "It's just that I can't bear the long night, on a whim." I don't have a home anymore. ”
As he spoke, a blank flash flashed in his eyes. was captured by the sharp-eyed Zhao Yue.
"Brother Yuan put down that man with one move, his martial arts are already first-class in the world, and there are few opponents. According to Yue's view, he should have started practicing martial arts at the age of four or five, right? The master who taught you is a famous teacher! ”
Saying this, Yuan Lang shook his head and sighed lightly: "With Gongzi's ability, who in the world dares to say that he is a master?" ”
He watched secretly in the forest for a while, and he was still shocked by Zhao Yue's astonishing speed, mysterious swordsmanship, and comprehensive martial arts. The man who fought was a rare master of using a gun, otherwise he was afraid that he would die under the sword with just one face.
If he and Zhao Yue fight to the death, they will fight on foot, and they will not be able to win with any conceit. If you change horses, the horses greatly limit the magic footwork and attack speed, or you can fight.
Sighing, Yuan Lang's expression was a little gloomy: "Don't hide it from the son, Lang Zu is a military attache who is arrested quickly." The pair of guys in his hands are ancestral heirlooms, and it was his father who laid the foundation for Lang's enlightenment. My family background is average, and I have been taught and guided by several martial artists, but I am not blessed to be taught by famous teachers. ”
"I see."
Zhao Yue said tentatively: "If Brother Yuan is really fine, why don't you stay with me for a few days?" Yue Xiwu has a little experience, let's learn from each other, and we can also grow together. ”
When Yuan Lang heard this, he immediately showed hesitation, and when he saw Zhao Yue staring at him, he suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't hide it." Lang has no good impression of the current government. Although the eldest brother of the son is a capable minister and a clean official, the name of the family's integrity makes Lang admire, and the merits he has made are in Lang's eyes, but he is only afraid that your Cangzhao family will worry about the country and love the people, and it will be empty. I don't want to be a fool who died at the hands of the court. The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other. I'm sorry. ”
"Then what are Brother Yuan's plans?"
"It's a pity that such a skill is buried, or it is bewitched by a grass king."
The confusion on Yuan Lang's face this time became more obvious, and he bowed his head and said nothing.
"Brother Yuan, our acquaintance is fate, not to mention the grace of helping Yue."
Yuan Lang waved his hand, "It's easy to do, you don't need to mention the little things." ”
"Okay, then don't mention it. I'll talk about something else. Maybe Brother Yuan can be interested. ”
Yuan Lang didn't care, only smiled perfunctorily.
Zhao Yue knew a little bit in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yue's trip south this time is not for fun, let alone to inspect the business at home. I want to recruit men to attack Liuqiu Island. ”
Yuan Lang was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Yue and said in surprise: "Liuqiu? It's an overseas desert island that many people have heard of, but no one knows the exact location, right? ”
Puzzled for a moment.
"Do you feel that with your current powerful position, the secrets of unique production techniques are still difficult to keep in the Great Song Dynasty, and you want to move to an overseas island to keep it secret? The greedy emperor has his eye on your family's wealth? ”
Zhao Yue neither affirmed nor denied, and asked with a smile: "Brother Yuan has nothing to do left and right, and there is nothing to worry about, why don't you accompany Yue to open his eyes, and by the way, maybe he can find the direction of his life's struggle?" ”
Yuan Lang was refreshed, and nodded after a little hesitation: "Okay." Since Childe said so, Lang agreed, but Lang's ugly words were in front, if I wanted to leave, Childe could not stop me. Of course, the secret, Lang swore in the name of his ancestors that he would never divulge anything. It will never hurt your family's business. ”
Zhao Yue smiled: "Yue believes that the eldest brother is a human being. I just want to, I'm just afraid of this one, I want you to leave, but you can't bear it. ”
Yuan Lang blinked and seemed to have an understanding, and was a little surprised for a while, seeing that Zhao Yue's eyes were condensed and unswerving, he immediately rubbed his big hands vigorously, and a trace of irrepressible excitement flashed on his face.
"It can be as Childe said. Lang's rise to catch up with the night road is really lucky, and he is lucky. ”
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Ma Ling came over at this time and gestured to Zhao Yue.
Zhao Yue smiled: "It's okay, Brother Yuan is his own person." It doesn't hurt to say it alone. ”
Ma Ling suddenly hugged his fist with joy: "Brother Yuan, Poor Dao wants to congratulate you." I promise you'll never regret your decision today. ”
This terrible group of assassins turned out to be sent by the Wang Hao family.
The news of Wang Hao's son's broken roots spread all over the capital, and he couldn't do anything, he was already perverted and boring and resentful, but now he had no face to see people, and he hated more and more deeply, and he always wanted the most ruthless revenge, and he was almost crazy.
Wang Hao forcibly endured the shame, and failed to bring down Zhao Gonglian in one fell swoop to take revenge on the Zhao family in Cangzhou last time by threatening the Liao army, and couldn't bear it anymore, since it was difficult to take revenge by normal means for a while, he turned to support his son to recruit all parties from all sides of the Jianghu clan to premeditate the assassination, and sent someone to take the initiative to contact and collude with the Cui family in Youzhou.
The two hit it off and formed an alliance to eliminate hegemony.
This is the group that stabbed tonight.
Among them, the strongest spear brothers, one person on the rivers and lakes is called Qingtian God Zhen Xianglin, and the other is called Kaitian God True Righteousness, and the two are cousins, seeking a career and seeking a quick promotion and refuge.
The other two were arrested, as soon as Ma Ling said his name and place of origin, Zhao Yue smiled after thinking about it.
It turned out to be two famous thieves in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Liu Wenshun and Wang Nianjing once rebelled in Raozhou, Jiangxi Province, and led the people who were forced to live by the heavy taxes and rebellious soldiers and bandits of the Southern Song Dynasty to conquer the government everywhere.
The Assassin League couldn't find a chance in Cangzhou, and was almost exposed and captured in the People's War.
I can't kill you directly, I will rob you of your belongings first, make up for my wealth, and deal a blow to your business.
He also colluded with the great eunuch Yang Jian, and instigated Yang Jian to take advantage of the fact that he was in charge of the Changhua Army to control the two Huai, and he did not know about the interception and killing of Cangzhao cargo ships on the Huai River and other rivers.
Yang Jian and Liang Shicheng secretly fought for power, and as soon as they wanted to attack the benefits of Zhao Gonglian, they responded, and ordered their subordinates to make it difficult to see the Cangzhao cargo ship again, and they could not really grab it and delay time.
This official is the current manager in power. The official family wants to use me to scrape taxes. The two Huai officials have the final say.
Zhao Gonglian was decentralized, and it was inconvenient to make a small report to the emperor to blow the wind in his ears. This kind of thing is not easy to say to the emperor. If he is sensible and soft, it will be better, and great benefits will come.
If you are not convinced, what should you do if you see him?
