Chapter 127: Warning
Killing the two, Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) held the sword with both hands, and Wang Li looked at the other five people and ordered:
"You two, get on!"
The two of them had to be ordered to kill, but before they could stabilize their positions, a cold light struck out of nowhere, and the chest of the man in front of him was suddenly cold, and a sharp sword pierced through the chest, which was pierced into the chest by the iron sword thrown by Baili Yan's left hand.
On the side, Wang Li couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and a chill in his heart: "What a powerful spear throwing technique, I really underestimated him." ”
Wang Li didn't know that Sai Qian was good at throwing guns, but when he saw Baili Yanqiang throwing an iron sword, he was extremely accurate, and suddenly understood that Sai Qian still had an unknown killer weapon.
A sword assassinated a person, and the other man took a step back, and the sword that was originally held in one hand was changed to a two-handed sword in the next moment, which is rare. It's either that it's unusually tense and unprepared, or that there is another mystery in swordsmanship.
The sword is not a straight knife, a strange knife, and it is not a big knife, and the combat killing is mainly stabbing, and the slash is not suitable for the sword blade, and can only be used as an auxiliary combat killing skill.
Swords are usually lighter, even bronze swords, which have a higher gravity than iron swords, but have a center of gravity that is back and is more advantageous to hold the sword in one hand. Switching to two-handed skills is not conducive to the more slender iron sword to perform its assassination function.
The man slashed with his sword in both hands, and the distance was still half a step away, but the tip of the sword was already in front of him, and the cold wind floated by, and the cold made people's spines cold.
Bai Liyan realized that the length of the iron sword held by the man was less than one meter away, while the blade of an ordinary iron sword would not be more than three feet long, and the bronze sword was even shorter.
It is no wonder that to hold a sword in both hands, the center of gravity and weight are very different from ordinary iron swords, not so much a sword as a heavy sword.
A sword swept the air, the man collected the sword and stabbed again, Bailiyan jumped backwards, his body staggered to the left, the man stabbed the air again with a sword, and before he could stand still, the man attacked again with a horizontal sword, straight to the throat.
Seeing that the sword blade had been killed, Baili Yan held the sword and sent a sword into the sky, a burst of sparks splashed, gold and iron were staggered, and his right arm was numb. The strength of the sword in both hands was amazing, and the weight of the sword was different from that of other weapons, this slash made him take two steps back and almost fall down.
"What a powerful heavy sword."
Secretly frightened, Bai Liyan suddenly remembered the European knights in the Middle Ages, and most of the fighting and fighting were to hold heavy swords in both hands and slash and kill. This person's swordsmanship is also based on slashing, and he is not used as a sword at all.
Thinking of this, he took another step back, then shifted his steps to the right, circling clockwise around the man.
The man's heavy sword is too long and heavy, and it is very difficult to collect the sword for assassination, although the slash is powerful, the inertia is very large. Doing the homeopathic needle movement is exactly in the opposite direction of his right hand swing, so that a considerable part of the lethality can be canceled out, and then he will be killed.
Baili Yan's feet kept moving, and the man swung his sword to the right several times and all missed, and the man was already out of breath under the circumstance, and the tip of the sword fell slightly.
Seeing that the opportunity was ripe, Baili Yan jumped in an arrow step and pretended to assassinate him, the man swung his sword to cut, but Bai Li Yan shook a sword and dodged again, without waiting for the man to stop the killing momentum, Bai Li Yan stabbed from the right again, the man blocked with a sword, and slashed a sword with his backhand, and was dodged by Bai Li Yan.
Several times of repeated tug-of-war feints, the man was tired of coping, and finally his physical strength was exhausted, and the tip of the sword was showing its clues, seeing this opportunity, Baili Yan jumped up, jumped out more than two feet high, and sent a sword with all his strength in the air.
The man's strength was exhausted, the tip of the sword was already hanging down more than a foot, Bailiyan stabbed a sword in the air, the man was not in a hurry to block the sword, he just wanted to take a step back, poof! A sword had pierced through the chest, and as Baili Yan's weight pressed, the tip of the sword pierced the chest and revealed the back, crushing the man to the ground and screaming.
Seeing this scene, Wang Li's palms were full of fine beads of sweat, and beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead rolled down his cheeks, and seeing that there were three people left, Wang Li drank in a low throat:
"Give it all to me!"
The three of them were ordered, and they each looked at each other, their eyes were full of doubts, and they were even thinking, why didn't they just kill each other together, but instead they had to die in vain.
couldn't think of so much, and the three of them joined forces to kill Bailiyan again.
Unexpectedly, just two steps, Wang Li stabbed a person to death from behind with a sword, and a miserable scream caught the remaining two unexpectedly, and before he could recover his soul in shock, Wang Li drew his sword and cut another man, and he couldn't take it off guard, and the man's chest was cut open with a sword, and blood immediately gushed out.
"Wang Li, you ......"
"I will raise you and other family members on your behalf, and I will never turn my back, so don't worry."
When the words fell, the man looked at Wang Li in astonishment, and fell to the ground trembling, leaving only the last person who was stabbed to death by Bai Liyan with a sword in the back.
Blood filled the air, Bailiyan picked up a torch, and the firelight illuminated Wang Li's face full of contradictions:
"Why help me?"
"For my sister." Wang Li said calmly and put away his sword.
"But even your father has to choose to kill me in front of King Jin, aren't you afraid of bullying the king."
"My father didn't want to kill you, but when I learned that you fled in Jiangdong, I knew that my father deliberately let you leave without chasing you, if he really wanted to arrest you, after Wei Dan died in battle, it would not be difficult to send 20,000 cavalry to capture you."
"Then how do you go back and explain to King Jin."
"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way. Just because I don't kill you doesn't mean that others won't kill you. Compared with back then, although your appearance has changed, you have been deceived for a while and cannot be concealed for a lifetime. You are alive and well as Wei Xian, and the Jin Kingdom will still not let you go. Let's do it ourselves, I hope one day we won't see each other. ”
Wang Li turned around and was about to go, and Bai Liyan suddenly shouted, with tears in her eyes.
"Wang Li!"
"What's the matter?"
"For me, take care of Rui Niang."
"You still want to see her again."
"If there's still a chance......"
Bailiyan clenched her fists, the sour water in her heart set off a monstrous wave, looking at Wang Li's disappearing back, her mind was full of Wang Rui's face.
Picking up the swords scattered on the ground, he drove the carriage back, and it was already the early morning of the next day when he returned to Tunken Village. Early the next morning, the news of the discovery of nine corpses in the Sanli boundary in the south of the city reached the Guangxin Mansion, and Jiang Min was immediately taken aback when he heard the news.
"My lord, seven of the assassins are dressed like a gang, and the other two look like ordinary people, all of them were killed by swords, but their weapons are missing." Wang Jiudao.
Jiang Min frowned:
"That's these two groups killing each other?"
"It doesn't seem like it. If two groups kill each other, how can the other wave kill two? Moreover, the two people dressed up by the common people have no calluses on their palms, not like martial artists, nor like farmers. If seven Assassins died, then whoever killed the Assassin also threw two corpses of his own people behind. ”
"Well, that's true. But it is too strange that two groups of people died in the same place. What else can be found besides the wound? ”
"No, no other clues have been found."
The first to find the deceased were passers-by who hurried into the city, and the first to arrive at the scene was the Taishou Mansion.
No valuable clues were found at the scene, except for blood stains and wounds. Of course, when an assassin kills someone, he can't carry anything revealing his identity with him, otherwise he wouldn't be an assassin.
As soon as Wang Jiu's words fell, Jiang Rong took a letter and entered the study:
"Father, the eldest brother has a letter."
"Oh, show me."
Jiang Min opened the letter and read it through, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried.
"Father, what did the eldest brother say in the letter?"
"A locust plague occurred in the southeast of Xu, the northwest of Song and the south of Zhiguo, and the locusts swept across the sky for more than a thousand miles, and the summer grain, summer seedlings, cotton, and pastures affected by the locust plague did not survive, and the 3,000 war horses purchased by Xu Guo were difficult to leave the country for a while, and all of them were stranded in Song State."
"The locust plague is thousands of miles away from the North Sea, so the eldest brother is making a big fuss."
Jiang Rong said disapprerovingly, Jiang Min groaned and said:
"Qian'er said that this locust plague is not the same as before, there is a village in Xu State, and more than 600 people have been eaten alive by locusts."
"What, cannibalism. This locust can eat people! Jiang Rong was stunned, and the face on her face suddenly lost color.
At this time, Wang Jiu on the side said:
"Miss, don't you know that this locust is very powerful. I heard from the older generation that 120 years ago, it was also the locust plague in Xu State, and it took three years for the trouble, and the locusts spread all the way from the south to the Central Plains.
All the crops, the harvest, and even the weeds in the field were eaten, and in the end there was nothing to eat, and thousands of locusts saw a cow, and plunged into it, and in a moment they gnawed the essence of the cow. It is said that no less than three million locusts were eaten and starved to death. ”
Wang Jiu's voice was full of emotion, Jiang Rong was suddenly disgusted, and the retching in her throat was unbearable.
"Big brother is so eager, could it be that locusts can really grow wings and fly to the North Sea."
"Since Qian'er has sent a letter, the locust plague is still secondary, once the locust plague spreads, the price of grain and cloth rises, and the countries have just improved in recent years.
"What does Father mean?"
"It is necessary to pay close attention to the summer grain into the warehouse and the autumn grain to be sown. In case the locust plague spreads to the Central Plains, it will take at least a year and a half, and at most two or three years. If anyone can't survive in the past three years, there will be chaos in the Central Plains. ”
"The child understood, and this urged the men to go and supervise the grain."
"Slow." Jiang Min stopped Jiang Rong.
"What else does my father command?"
"Gonggong Chen of the Tax Department is still in the Taishou Mansion, and the grandiose collection of grain will inevitably attract his attention. Nine people died outside the city today, seven of them Assassins. The world is not peaceful, and there are inevitably villains who are secretly troubled. The matter of supervising grain should not be rushed, and it should be carefully discussed with Mr. Chen before making plans. ”
Jiang Min was not so much worried about locusts thousands of miles away, but rather worried about the assassins who were close at hand. The assassin discovered this morning made Jiang Min faintly think that he and Chen Gonggong had entered the dark line forces of Guangxin, and these forces were the problems that Jiang Min was most worried about.
If last night's assassin was sent by King Xian Jiang Hai, then who was the person King Xian wanted to kill, and why he did it in advance, these are all mysteries now.
