Chapter 180: An Indelible Will
The night sky is full of dark clouds, like a big quilt soaked in ink, low pressure overhead, electric snakes swim in the depths of the dark clouds, thunder pythons rush, as if brewing the power to destroy the world, the wind is sweeping, the torrential rain is pouring, and God is crazy to vent his anger.
It was such an extremely bad weather that made Li Mi's team strand on a desert island, and Li Mi was alone looking for a place to shelter from the rain and start a fire, but who would have thought that this island was not a borderless place!
After discovering the canoe canopy, Li Mi was also horrified, but at this juncture, he actually encountered a sneak attack!
Although the visibility is very low, Li Mi is no stranger to the sword light and sword shadow, the sparring with Zhang Huangting, Cheng Yu's persecution of himself, maybe Li Mi has not improved in knife skills, but he has a feeling of closeness and familiarity with the sword in his hand.
At the moment, it is also instinctive, and the backhand is a knife!
"Ding!"
A string of sparks sputtered out, and the figure in the darkness inevitably sighed lightly, but he didn't expect Li Mi's blade to be so sharp.
Li Mi was also very surprised, because the Qi family's knife was as sharp as clay, and earlier Wang Shisu used the ring head knife to fight, so that Li Mi cut it off like a green onion, but the blade of this raider was also extremely tough!
After forcing the attacker back with a knife, Li Mi shouted loudly: "Let's do it slowly!" ”
However, before Li Mi's words fell, the man slashed over again, and Li Mi could only raise his knife to block, and he used a trick to come out!
After the man was forced to retreat, he must have been very surprised, Li Mi couldn't care about so much, and took advantage of this gap to talk again.
"Don't do it, I'm the ...... of Suzhou Prefecture"
However, before he finished speaking, the other party's offensive swept again, but this time he didn't give Li Mi a chance to speak, the knife technique was smooth, the momentum was strong and heavy, fast as the wind, violent as rain, when the fight became more and more urgent, Li Mi could still parry at first, and later, there was also some left and right.
But the strange thing is that after experiencing the initial hurry, Li Mi strangely found that for his knife moves, Li Mi was able to anticipate the enemy first, and the more he fought, the smoother it became, not like a fight between life and death, but like a sparring of you and me, and it turned out to be the same way!
After Li Mi and Zhang Huangting practiced, they also had a new understanding of ancient martial arts, the so-called layman looked at the lively, the insider looked at the doorway, sometimes it seems to be a set of martial arts, only if you are well versed in it, can you feel how powerful it is.
Just like the situation at this time, Li Mi can almost be sure that the other party is also using the Qi family's knife technique!
The man thought that he had already seen Li Mi's routine, so he retreated at this time and asked Li Mi: "Who are you, why do you know the Qi family's sword technique!" ”
Li Mi can hear this accent, and it is not an official dialect, but Li Mi can understand it, because this person speaks Hakka dialect in Putian, Fujian and other places!
Hakka dialect has changed very little from ancient times to the present, so Li Mi can still understand it, and at this time Li Mi replied in Hakka.
"I am a fast catcher from Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, and I was going to Chongming Sha on business, but I didn't expect to encounter a storm and fall here, offending the master, and I hope to forgive me."
When the man heard this, he immediately retorted: "Nonsense, a little catch, go to Chongming Sha to do something!" ”
Li Mi didn't know anything about this person's identity, so naturally it was impossible to tell the truth, so he lied at this time.
"It is to escort a prisoner who was exiled to serve in the Chongming Shawei Station......"
When Li Mi said this, the man must have believed it, but he was still a little angry and said: "Since you are fast, how can you understand the Qi family's knife technique!" ”
On this question, Li Mi didn't want to lie, so he replied to him: "I was taught by my master." ”
The man was silent for a moment, and then asked in a cold voice, "Master's surname is Wu Mingweizhong." ”
Li Mi also had a small calculation in his heart, since this person knows the Qi family's knife technique, and is so pure, it must be the descendant of the Qi family's army, Wu Weizhong's name should be invincible, and it is generally easy to use as before.
However, what he didn't expect was that when the man heard this, he was angry, and said to Li Mi: "It's Wu Weizhong, the old dog, no wonder you, a slut, will be on an errand in the public gate!" ”
"I wanted to let you go, since you are a disciple of Wu Laogou, you will leave the dog behind!"
As soon as he said this, the man raised his knife to attack again, and Li Mi didn't expect that Wu Weizhong's name would not only be useless, but would also cause a murderous disaster, which was also shocking.
However, after having the experience of catching and killing the right person, Li Mi was no longer flustered, but Li Mi miscalculated again, because as soon as this person made a move, it was a thunderous move, but as soon as he fought, Li Mi was kicked to the ground by a dark foot, and wanted to get up again, but the knife head had already pressed against his eyebrows!
"Mr. Qian, there are still about 20 people on the shore, and the brothers have all been arrested!"
Li Mi had just been subdued, and another voice came from the darkness, and the man's helper also arrived!
In fact, after seeing these canoes, Li Mi had already guessed that judging from the number of canoes, there were still a lot of people on this island, so it was not surprising that Li Mi came at this time.
When Li Mi looked around, there were shadows all around, and his footsteps rustled, and then he heard the frightened noise of the crew.
These people lit torches under the canopy, and Li Mi finally saw their faces clearly.
But I saw that they all had big beards, their hair was tied up haphazardly, their upper bodies were naked, and their lower bodies were shabby and white calf-nosed pants, all barefoot and naked, and each of them had a Qi family knife!
Their eyes were full of murderous aura, like red candles in the dark night, although they were tanned one by one, their bodies were as strong as steel, and their bronzed skin was shining under the firelight!
Jiang Bi, Song Zhiwei and others were also taken to the canopy, and seeing this, Song Zhiwei hurriedly spoke up.
"Who are you, we are the public servants of the Suzhou Mansion Governor Yamen, and this official is the Suzhou Mansion Governor, how dare you be so rude!"
When the man heard Song Zhiwei say this, he turned his head and sneered at Li Mi: "Which exile prisoner are you escorting, who can actually mobilize the crowd and even escort the magistrate in person?" ”
Song Zhiwei could also hear it, but he was afraid that Li Mi would lie to this person earlier, and now he would face that person.
"You are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, why are you willing to fall, that is, you will become a widow, and you should not kill your compatriots, you sent a boat and let us go, this official can not blame the past, otherwise you will definitely not be able to escape!"
Seeing that Song Zhiwei was so tough, the man also sneered: "Lord Tuiguan has such a sharp tongue, come on, cut off his tongue for me!" ”
Song Zhiwei was also afraid, after all, he was a civil official, and when he encountered such a thing, how could he not panic, so he shouted inwardly at this time.
"You dare! This official is out on business this time, if he doesn't report it at that time, the government will definitely investigate it, and you and other rats will not be able to escape! ”
The man laughed, and the people next to him also burst into laughter, and said to Song Zhiwei: "Dog officer, we have been stationed here for a full eighteen years, except for the birds that flew to lay eggs and the king who came ashore to lay eggs, what else can leave alive, you can try!" ”
When Li Mi heard this, he finally knew that these people were not kind, so he said to the man: "You have the Qi family knife in your hand, and you are practicing the Qi family's knife technique, it must be the Qi family's army, although I don't know why you are here, but since it is the Qi family's army, you shouldn't kill innocents indiscriminately, and insult General Qi's reputation!" ”
When everyone heard Li Mi say that these people turned out to be the Qi family's army, they couldn't help but be surprised, because the Qi family's army and Minqiu had no crime, and they estimated that they were just scaring people.
When the man heard this, he became angry, lowered his body, and forced his eyes to look at Li Mi and said, "I have insulted the name of the Qi family's army?" ”
"We were ordered to garrison this Pingbosha and stop the Japanese in the middle, Qi Jiguang was able to achieve a great victory, thanks to the three hundred and seventy-six brothers buried at the foot of the mountain, but he ...... But he used this as an excuse to say that General Qi Yin transferred troops privately and ordered General Qi Yin to be beheaded for public display, who insulted the reputation of the Qi family's army! ”
"Wu Weizhong, this old dog, has been saved by General Qi Yin several times, but when Qi Jiguang wanted to kill General Qi Yin, this old dog swallowed his anger!"
"Qi Jiguang is an old-fashioned man, he obeys the orders of the court, he is loyal to the monarch and loves the people, I don't blame him, but should General Qi Yin die!"
"If it weren't for General Qi Yin who transferred us here and cut off the fleet of the Japanese Invaders, how could Qi Jiguang have achieved a great victory, but the result was that General Qi Yin was beheaded, and Wu Weizhong and other brave rats were rewarded and honored, is there any reason for this!"
The man complained like this, and the Qi family soldiers around him also wet their eyes, and they all looked excited, as if they had returned to the past.
"We are the Qi family's army, we shouldn't blame General Qi Jiguang, without him there would be no us, but Wu Weizhong is nothing, General Qi Jiguang was snubbed, but he did nothing, watching the old general die depressed, and now he has inherited the scenery of the Qi family's army, and there is justice and evil in this world!"
When Li Mi heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly realize, no wonder he was so resentful of Wu Weizhong and the government, it turned out to be Qi Yin's subordinates!
But Li Mi could also hear the implication, since he knew that Qi Jiguang died in depression, and knew that Wu Weizhong took over the Qi family's army, it also showed that they were not isolated from the world!
"Since you can know the news from outside, why don't you leave here, you are the Qi family army for one day, and you will be the Qi family army for the rest of your life, why do you linger on this desert island and not return to the team, and continue to serve the country!"
Li Mi couldn't help asking, but the man smiled miserably, and the Qi family soldiers around him were also in tears.
He roared at Li Mi.
"We are the Qi family army, so we should strictly abide by the military law and military orders, General Qi ordered us to stick to Pingbosha and not leave half a step, we will stick to Pingbosha and never leave an inch!"
"But General Qi Yin is dead!" Li Mi also roared, but his tears couldn't help but roll down, because it meant that these remnants of the soldiers had been here for eighteen years, just because Qi Yin died, but he couldn't give them the order to retreat before he died!
They knew that Qi Yin was dead and would never be able to give them military orders again, but they were willing to spend the rest of their lives obeying a military order that there would be no more retreat, what loyalty and how touching it was!
It was Song Zhiwei, who was popular in the officialdom, or perhaps the crew members who were working hard at the bottom, who listened to Li Mi's answer with that person, and they all silently shed tears!
The man was touched by Li Mi's shout, let the tears roll down, and then said to Li Mi.
"Tomorrow you will leave here, one step late, and I will bury you with the 1,739 widows over there!"
As the man said this, he let the robes leave the torches and retreated into the jungle, and Li Mi was stunned in place, and after a moment, he looked in the direction that the man pointed out.
In the rain curtain, the open beach was covered with small graves, and the 376 Qi family troops were exchanged for 1,739 Japanese soldiers, which shows how tragic the battle of blocking and killing was at that time.
And Li Mi also found that there are also many graves near the canopy, judging by the grave grass, it should be different time periods, and it is no wonder that this person said that except for the birds that lay eggs and the turtles that lay eggs, a living person has never been let go.
This kind of place is a place where only the Japanese know how to come and rest, that is to say, the past Japanese have never left a living mouth!
