Section 277 The Game of the Hunters, in
The use of poison is a shameless means for heroes in the rivers and lakes.
Poisoners, regardless of their means, are all regarded as shameless and obscene characters.
This does not mean that the people and customs of the rivers and lakes are generally decent. The real rivers and lakes have always been murderous, bloody and dark.
In essence, just as man curses and dislikes conspiracy, poisonous snakes, and the like, it is just an instinct to reject and degrade a terrible threat that cannot be guarded against. In order not to be killed by such an unpreventable thing, it is natural to preach and trample on it.
Wan Qi grew up in the mountains, and was used to seeing mountain people hunting large beasts with poison, and did not think that using poison was evil, so he used it himself, but when he left the mountains and entered the lively and prosperous traditional society, he also knew that he was looked down upon by people for poisoning his arrows.
He didn't change because he wanted to guarantee the success rate of shooting corrupt officials and all those he thought deserved to die.
What else is it about revenge?
As long as you can kill the damned, it's right and easy to use, and it should be used.
Could it be that it is the right and decent means to let the deceased be slightly injured by an arrow and continue to jump around alive to harm people?
Fuck the fuck.
But with Zhao Yue as a partner, he still cares about Zhao Yue's opinion.
Disagree, or at least deny and despise.
Otherwise, he will feel uncomfortable and have pimples, and it will be difficult for him to cooperate with his heart.
He hesitated and vaguely mentioned it.
Zhao Yue guessed his mind and chuckled: "I have heard a saying, no matter whether it is a white cat or a black cat, the one who can catch a mouse is a good cat." ”
This is a well-known and easy to understand phrase in another life.
Wan Qi Danian smiled.
Zhao Yue lifted Wan Qian's psychological barrier, and he also had to restrain the harm of poisoned arrows.
"In the big year, whether to use a knife or a gun, to kill people with poison or without poison, this is not the key."
Wan Qian nodded and said, "I understand." As long as the one who kills is not innocent. Right? ”
Zhao Yue praised one with a smile, "However, the world is complicated, and it is difficult to say whether it is right or wrong in many things." No one is a god, who can hold the truth and determine right from wrong. Isn't there a saying? It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs. We cannot arbitrarily judge who deserves to die and who does not based solely on personal preferences, positions, and views of right and wrong. The truth of the world. A lot of it is hidden in the shadows. In order to avoid unjust killing, Da Nian, your poisoned arrows should be used with caution. ”
Wan Qi nodded silently in convincing.
Fan Tianxi saw that Zhao Yue did not kill the assassin but brought it over, and seeing how the two got along, he guessed that Zhao Yue should have subdued the assassin.
What is the truth and hidden in it is not what Fan Tianxi cares about. The danger is eliminated, and there is an extra helper, which is good.
After Zhao Yue's brief introduction, Fan Tianxi saw that the man's clothes, which looked very much like an ape, were old and thin. The white cloth he wore was half-wet and could not protect against the cold, so he took one of his spare best cotton clothes, and was enthusiastic to wear it in the New Year.
Wan Qi Danian saw that this person with a temperament like an official smiled warmly and sincerely, and his heart was warm and lonely, and he took it and put it on. It's just that he is not very tall, but his body is extremely broad, and he can't fit the placket when he wears the cotton clothes of Fan Tianxi, who is not burly, so he can only open his arms.
Fan Tianxi snorted embarrassedly, "Let my brother laugh." Brother's body is too strong. ”
"No laughter. No laughs. ”
Wan Qi Danian shook his big hand, revealing the simple side of the Shanwa farmer. Said gratefully, "You are kind." I understand. ”
Zhao Yue turned over and got on the horse, turned around and pointed to the Fan family's sedan chair and said with a smile: "Danian, your image is too eye-catching, it's better to take a car to hide it, not only to save effort but also to warm up and rest." ”
Fan Tianxi clapped his hands and smiled: "This is a good idea." Brother Danian get in the car. Inside is the silver of the dog official Wang Shizhong knocked by the second son. gave me the Fan family as a settling-in allowance. There are two boxes. A box used some to buy a carriage this morning. The other box will be given to the brother as a settling-in fee. ”
When Wan Qi heard this, he saw that Fan Tianxi was sincere. I was really touched this time.
That's a thousand taels of silver.
If he hadn't been a robber, he wouldn't have made so much money in his life.
Fan Tianxi and him just met, barely a group of people, it can be called a meeting in Pingshui, but they are so generous to give it.
Are the people of the Cangzhao family so bold and atmospheric? Is that?
Wan Qi Danian's heart was full of emotion. I was so moved that I didn't know how to express it for a while, but with only one thought, I might have made the right choice.
He was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered something, turned his head to Zhao Yue and said, "Gongzi scanned Lu Ye all the way and was secretly on guard, is he preventing Wang Gouguan's family from ambushing and retaliating, right?" ”
Fan Tianxi was overjoyed and asked first: "Brother, have you seen them?" ”
Wan Qi Danian nodded and said, "I wanted to grab the silver, but in the morning, I saw the dog son of the Wang family with a wounded face and a group of people out of Beicheng. I ambushed with white cloth, and I still thought of it when I saw them buy white cloth. ”
The matter of the Wang family's ambush and revenge can basically be determined.
Fan Tianxi had a more urgent question to know, and asked urgently: "Does that brother know where they will ambush?" ”
Wan Qi Danian said: "I escaped from Qizhou (in fact, it has been changed to Jinan Mansion.) Wan Qian left home to become an adult, and he was used to calling it the old name), and he wandered around this area for several months, and this northbound road was very familiar. If you want to set up an ambush, eighty percent is there. I want to be the first to do it here. ”
Zhao Yue didn't ask for details, let Wan Qi Danian get in the car, and the group continued to go north.
After walking straight for more than ten miles, getting farther and farther away from the county seat, the desolation of the snowy countryside has become the only scenery, Wan Qi Danian suddenly peeked out from the car curtain to look outside, staring at a hill on the side of the road in the distance and said: "It should be there." ”
Fan Tianxi and the others were taken aback, and they all looked carefully, but they were too far away to see clearly.
Zhao Yue's eyesight was abnormal, and he could clearly see that there was a protrusion about 100 meters wide from north to south close to the road.
The protrusion forms a stone cliff on the road, and the lowest point is about four or five meters high, and there are some bowl-sized trees growing on it, and there is a slope to the south, which is also steep, but it is not difficult to climb. I don't know what shape the north side is. To the east are undulating hills.
On the opposite side of the road is a small rolling wilderness interspersed with small woods. There are weeds and weeds, swaying in the snow in the wind.
If someone is lying in ambush on a protrusion, even if a person on the road is close, he will not be able to see the situation on the protrusion even if he is close on horseback, let alone be able to detect that someone is lying in ambush on it without warning.
It's really the ideal place to sneak up.
It's too convenient to shoot with a bow and crossbow, and you can't hide it. It is blocked by a high cliff, and it can effectively avoid being killed by rapid resistance.
But is there anyone in ambush there?
When we get closer, it's too late if there's an ambush.
Zhao Yue led the way in front, staring at the protrusion.
As it approached, suddenly there was a few ups and downs of white objects on the protrusions.
So far away, the mountains and fields are white, Fan Tianxi and the others can't say that they can't see clearly, they can't detect the short-term ups and downs, even the sharp-eyed Wan Qi Danian only feels that the protruding snow is blown up by the wind, or the dense weeds cover the snow and rise and fall in the wind.
But Zhao Yue saw the faces of several pairs of human eyes under the white.
Someone on the protrusion heard the sound of a horse's hoof cart advancing, and looked over a little bit.
A sneer flashed at the corner of Zhao Yue's mouth.
"Big Year, we didn't expect the game of hunters to come so soon. Do you like it? ”
As soon as Fan Tianxi and the Jiang family's father and son heard this, they knew that the enemy was lying in ambush in front, and they couldn't help but be surprised and nervous.
Wan Qi Danian asked in surprise: "Can you see so far?" ”
Zhao Yue's speed remained unchanged, his expression was calm, he didn't answer this question, and only said in a low voice: "I'll attack the mountain." In the New Year, you help Brother Fan to guard the vehicle to prevent the thieves from attacking from a distance with a bow and crossbow, resulting in the passivity of the defending car and not being able to fight back. You and I play this hunt and counter-hunt separately. ”
Wan Qian's bright eyes flashed fiercely, and his ape-like hairy beard and face were hideous.
"Good. Dare to play with bows and arrows? Let them taste the power of my viper arrows, and see who is the more clever hunter and who is the prey. (To be continued.) )
