Section 115: Shadow in the Mist
PS: I wish you all a happy New Year's Day, a new year and a new journey, new joy, and new harvest
Zhao Yue made a nail plan temporarily, and did not reveal his bottom to Xi Sheng and Zuo Mou, but more to provide a convenient place for the two of them to advance and retreat.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, when corrupt officials were targeted, there was no way to ask for help, and retreat was forced step by step until the family was broken and people died, and there was no way to retreat, advance, and take the road of rebellion, which often meant the chaos and gradual collapse of the mortal Gangchang chaos, this was already a great benefit.
Zhao Yue didn't expect much from the two.
The result depends on the ability and effort of the two, and it depends on the situation changes. What kind of thing is what you do.
Huaixi couldn't dig anything, Zhao Yue wanted to take advantage of the pleasant autumn climate to go to the northwest to see, dig the corner of Tianhu, and find the rural relics.
They rode north quickly, and were about to leave Huaixi in the afternoon, and when they arrived at a mountain field, the good day suddenly became foggy.
The fog spread across the flat land, blurred the road, poured into the roadside woods, and then encroached on the mountain, the fog became thicker and thicker, and the encroachment speed became faster and faster, as if there were mountain spirits and ghosts in the dark, and after a while, the world was hazy. Zhao Yue and his entourage had to slow down the speed of the horse repeatedly.
Walking in the fog, breathing the cool mist, tasting the delicious smell of wild flowers and grass, the tired and impetuous heart can't help but shake up. The war horse brings the fog and waves to flow, making people feel as if they have entered the illusory fairy world, and they can't help but be intoxicated by reverie, and they seem to be in the wilderness demon world, which is terrifying.
It's a very complicated body odor. The guards had different expressions, some intoxicated, some wary.
Zhao Yue enjoyed it a little.
At this time, the overall population of the world was much smaller, there was no crazy destruction and pollution in later generations, and the air was very clean. Fog is fog. It's not smog.
This may be the only thing Zhao Yue is satisfied with in this world.
As for the simplicity of the people, Zhao Yue doesn't think it's all an advantage.
Look from a high vantage point. If a nation is too simple, it means that the environment is too rigid, not fluid, competitive, and challenging. It leads to mildness and deception, at least lacks the spirit and even ability to break through and expand, does not have the most basic national character to conquer the world, and belongs to the vanquished.
Subsequent history has repeatedly proved this.
Zhao Yue thought of many things from the fog, from the environmental protection that he vigorously advocated and participated in formulating, to the survival of the nation, to the contrast between Eastern and Western cultures and national personalities and how to integrate.
His eyesight and other senses were unusual. The guards didn't notice it, they were all laughing and laughing casually. Zhao Yue looked at it carefully, although the image was blurry and the man was motionless, he still concluded that it was a living person, and there was something on the pillar, which seemed to be a long axe.
After contemplating it again, this piece seemed to have a faint murderous aura, as if in the fog and woods, there were poisonous snakes staring at them and spitting out their tongues. At any time, he will open his fangs and come out to die.
He made a secret gesture, and the guards continued to laugh, but in fact immediately slowed down vigilantly and pressed their swords and crossbows, and leaned on their horses to prevent being plotted by cold arrows and other plots. The division of labor and cooperation are closely watched from the left and right, up and down, to prevent the ambush of traps on both sides, traps and hanging nets on trees.
After advancing more than thirty meters, Zhao Yue could roughly see the motionless person.
It was a rare eight-foot-tall man among the southerners. Not very majestic but more agile and agile, in his twenties. He has a rough appearance and a dark face. He had a sparse and inconspicuous beard, his eyes were very bright, and he was dressed in the coarse cloth clothes worn by the lord of the people, and he was half-open, and he stood in the middle of the road with a long axe. The handle of the axe is red, it is iron, and the axe is not small, this is a heavy weapon.
Zhao Yue's mind moved, and he asked lightly: "Who is the hero in front?" ”
The man exhaled heavily, and finally moved.
He struck a big axe and shouted, "Count you as bad luck." Grandpa doesn't rob the road, only borrows money. Leave behind your address, your horses, and half your money, and you will have the entanglement to go back to. I went to Liangshan to work for that Xiao Zhao and earned money, and then I will pay you back with the money. Grandpa did what he said. Tong Su is not bullied. ”
The guards were stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help laughing. Wang Nianjing smiled and asked, "What if you don't want to?" ”
The man's tone was still no joy, no sorrow, no anger, and fierce, and he replied, "If you don't want to, you will leave your life." Grandpa went to Fangshan Wang Qing. ”
Zhao Yue couldn't help but think of the scene when he met Bian Xiang at the beginning.
This man is similar to Bian Xiang in that he decides the path to take in the future with different results of robbery.
Wang Nianjing smiled and asked, "Did you see it?" We all carry guys, not to bully. Are you so sure? ”
The man didn't answer, just stared at Zhao Yue quietly.
This is a man who has seen the eye.
Zhao Yue asked in a curious tone, "Even if we promise you." How can you be sure that if you go to Yangsan, you will be retained? I heard that Xiao Zhao is a very provocative person, and it is not easy to stay in Liangshan and take on the job of making a lot of money. ”
The man swung the big axe a few times with one hand, and there seemed to be a little sadness in his voice: "It's a big deal that grandpa sold his life to him." ”
Look at him with those few axes, at least he is not lacking in strength.
Zhao Yue pretended to be very casual and asked indifferently: "Killed someone, why did you go to Wang Qing instead of the more powerful pirates?" ”
The man was a little impatient: "You are very curious, and there are so many questions." ”
Zhao Yue smiled and said, "You answered." If I am credible, I will fulfill your request. We don't have to fight to the death. Wouldn't that be better? ”
The man's eyes widened, and his tone became cold and fierce: "You don't need to sell favors to fulfill it." You make decisions for your lives. ”
"I can answer your questions, though. Grandpa wants to kill. Kill those bastards who make grandpa unhappy. What can a pirate kill when he floats on water? ”
"Then, Wang Qing was exterminated, if you escape, what do you want to do in the future?"
Zhao Yue wondered: Why are pirates and Wang Qing the same underworld, but green forest heroes and folk heroes are more willing to vote for Wang Qing.
The man was angry: "You look like an old lady with a broken mouth, and Rory is endless?" Tell your grandfather that he just wants to kill enough, and he didn't think that far. ”
Zhao Yue still smiled and asked again: "Can I ask you what you borrowed so many horses and money for?" ”
The man raised the big axe and said coldly: "I might as well tell you, after paying the taxes, take the villagers to leave this place safely and smoothly, and use them on the road." ”
"Grandpa knows you're playing tricks on Grandpa, so he won't borrow it. It's good. Kill you, and your taxes will be saved. Grandpa's heart was even happier. ”
Saying that, he suddenly stepped forward, and the axe was ready to chop Zhao Yue to death first.
Wang Nianjing saw that this person was so calm and confident, and his actions were so fast and fierce, he knew that this person was not ordinary, maybe he was a master.
He flew off his horse, stepped forward to intercept him with great interest, and faced him with a sword.
The two men fought fiercely in front of the horses for a few moments.
The man snorted coldly and said to the king: "You are very powerful, but you are not my opponent." ”
The axe attack intensified, like a storm.
After fighting for more than 20 times, the guards felt that the two were still difficult to distinguish between the two of them, but Zhao Yue saw that Wang Nianjing could still hold on to dozens of battles with all his might, but he would eventually lose.
This man's axe skills are extraordinary, and his qualifications are similar to those of Fang La's generals Shi Bao or Wu Song, and he is agile and strong, and his strength and speed are extremely advantageous. This type of person is a natural battlefield horror killer. They are also resistant to war, and their lethality is higher than their martial arts or their strength is greater than theirs.
