XLVI
……
"What the hell is the weather, the snow is so big in a while, it freezes me to death......"
Outside the Python Mountain bandits' nest, the four Hu people of the Qiang tribe who were keeping vigil kept complaining about the change in the weather, and at the same time warmed their hands and paced back and forth to ward off the cold. m.
A bearded man with a fur hat looked at the dark night and said with a whimsical expression: "Do you remember the winter before last? At this time, we are drinking warm wine around the bonfire in the tent of the clan, accompanied by a fragrant and tender Central Plains woman. ”
Another Hu man also smiled lewdly and said: "Yes, at that time, I didn't have to do anything every day while lying in my felt bag, I only needed to sow seeds in the woman's belly all winter, and I was really happy and comfortable to think about......
"Don't talk about it...... another sturdy Hu man said with a sad face, "After Liu Ce came to Jizhou last year, this kind of day no longer exists, our people have been slaughtered by them, and now we have been hiding in Tibet for a year, I don't know if we can survive this winter." ”
The rest of the Hu people were silent when they heard this, the name Liu Ce was equivalent to the Demon Death Reaper in their hearts, and his army was full of mourning. Even after so many months, every time they fell asleep, they could vaguely hear the terrible howls of their own people under the iron hoofs and cold knives, which made them break out in a cold sweat in the middle of the night.
"I'll go to the front and take a look at the ......" As if to escape the topic, two of the Hu people picked up the mutilated saber in their hands and walked towards the darkness in front of the gate in the wind and snow.
The other two people left behind sneered at the two who left: "Coward, who can attack the village on such a cold day?" If it really comes, we will all be liberated, and we will not have to worry about it every day. ”
With that, the two of them found a sheltered stone wall and sat down, wrapped themselves in fur coats, and kept rubbing their frozen hands to ward off the cold.
……
"Big brother, it seems that someone is coming, I hear footsteps......"
"Shaoyun, don't panic, let's take a closer look at a few people first."
Behind a broken stone outside the bandit's nest, Xie Ping'an and Zhuo Shaoyun, whose frozen lips were purple, heard footsteps approaching, and immediately clenched the weapons in their hands vigilantly.
Zhuo Shaoyun closed his eyes and calmed, his ears kept shaking, carefully discerning the number and location of the people who came, and after a while, he whispered to Xie Ping'an: "There are only two people's footsteps, thirty steps away from us, big brother wait for them to get closer, kill him by surprise!" ”
"Hmmm......"
Xie Ping'an replied softly, and then pulled out the ring-headed knife wrapped in cotton cloth hanging from his waist, strung the thin chain on the handle of the knife with his wrist, and gasped for breath and was ready to kill at any time.
And Zhuo Shaoyun also held the lance tightly, took off the sleeve on the spear blade, and a cold killing aura suddenly dispersed.
Just as the two Hu people were passing by the broken stone in an incomprehensible nonsense, Xie Ping'an and Zhuo Shaoyun rushed at them and killed them.
"Well, enemy ......"
"Poof~"
"呲~"
One of the Hu people felt a cold cramp in his chest before he could roar out after discovering the broken stone, and before he could roar.
After he spat out a mouthful of blood, the whole person took a few steps backwards uncontrollably, and collided directly with his accomplices.
Zhuo Shaoyun's hand struck, his eyes instantly turned cold, and as soon as he twisted the lever in his hand, the sharp lance blade rotated to break through the back of the Hu man in front of him and bring it into the chest of another Hu man behind him.
The two of them didn't even have the strength to howl in pain, and thus ended their sinful lives on a snowy night.
Zhuo Shaoyun solved the two of them with one move, and forcefully pulled out the black lance, bringing out a wave of agitated blood that merged with the night and scattered in the wind and snow, and at this moment, his eyes flashed with a strong battle intent.
"Shaoyun, you don't leave me one, didn't you say that you would do it together?" When Xie Ping'an saw Zhuo Shaoyun kill two Hu people in one move, his tone couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied, but he still affirmed his brother's ability.
Zhuo Shaoyun shook the blood stains on the lance and said to Xie Ping'an: "Big brother, don't worry, these two people were killed by you and my brother." ”
"Look at what you said, as if your eldest brother and I covet your merits......" After Xie Ping'an scolded with a smile, he looked at the dark road ahead, and said with a vigilant face, "Shaoyun, the appearance of these two people here means that the bandit's nest is not far from here, you and I will touch it over, and act carefully." ”
Zhuo Shaoyun nodded, then looked at the two corpses on the ground that were still warm and said to Xie Ping'an: "Big brother, let's dispose of these two corpses first, in case there are other Hu Nu around who are discovered, it will ruin our big deal." ”
Xie Ping'an said "um" and said, "It's still Shaoyun's thoughtfulness, let's move these two corpses behind the broken stone first." ”
Together with the two brothers, they dragged a corpse and placed it behind a broken stone, took off the fur on the corpse and put it on themselves to keep out the cold, and scavenged out some short knives and other weapons.
"Look at these barbarians, what kind of rags are they used, hum ......" Xie Ping'an looked at the rusty blades with notched curly blades found from Hu Nu in his hand and sneered disdainfully, and said to Zhuo Shaoyun: "Okay, without further ado, hurry up and move towards the bandits' nest, the brothers outside must be in a hurry, and when the slave heads are cut off and the stockade is broken, the military governor of the army will pass by tomorrow, and he will be impressed by us, and he will come to work soon." ”
Zhuo Shaoyun nodded calmly when he heard this, and walked cautiously forward with Xie Ping'an.
When the two of them walked forward for about a mile, a little starlight suddenly appeared at the bend of a hundred steps ahead, and they couldn't help but get excited.
"Found ......," Xie Ping'an whispered excitedly, "As long as we kill the bandit leader, our brother will be able to gain a foothold in the barracks!" ”
When Zhuo Shaoyun heard this, he immediately took out the letter bomb from his arms, but Xie Ping'an stretched out his hand to stop him: "Shaoyun, what are you doing?" ”
Zhuo Shaoyun said: "Big brother, Hu Nu has dozens of people, you and I are just two brothers here, let's call all the brothers outside steadily, and kill them together after convergence." "After that, you have to pull the strings of the letter cannon.
"Shaoyun!" Xie Ping'an hurriedly stopped him and said, "You and I have relied on each other for so many years and suffered so much, just to get ahead one day, and now that such a good opportunity is in front of us, can you bear to miss it?" ”
Zhuo Shaoyun said: "Big brother, there are too many Hu slaves in it, I think it's better to kill it with my brothers." ”
Xie Ping'an saw that his brother insisted on pulling the letter string, and said almost in a pleading tone: "Shaoyun! You just listen to the eldest brother, you look at our armor, it is the armor that only the elite, the eldest brother really doesn't want to take it off again and go to the arsenal,
As long as you and my brothers are of the same heart, cut off the bandit leader and then release the letter cannon, then the credit for killing the bandit leader belongs to you and me, and we can also have a position in the military camp in the future.
Shaoyun, haven't you been afraid of these poor days? Big brother really doesn't want to be looked down upon anymore, I don't want to let go of this kind of opportunity no matter what, you can fulfill your big brother once......"
Seeing Xie Ping'an's sincere and expectant expression, Zhuo Shaoyun thought for a moment, let go of the hand pulling the signal string, and said to him: "Okay, listen to the eldest brother, but if the eldest brother has a tough battle later, you have to be very careful!" ”
"Don't worry, Shaoyun, the eldest brother is measured!" Seeing that Zhuo Shaoyun agreed with his opinion, Xie Ping'an suddenly smiled, "Later, Shaoyun, you don't care about me, just kill the enemy, as long as you take off the head of the inner bandit, this battle will be secure!" ”
Zhuo Shaoyun nodded and said, "However, we must first find out where the bandit leader is, and we must kill him as quickly as possible to stabilize the overall situation." ”
Xie Ping'an said: "Shaoyun is extremely worried, the bandit leader is set in the largest tent in the bandit's nest, you and I just need to find that tent, hurry up, kill this nest of Hunu, we will spend the night here tonight!" ”
Zhuo Shaoyun lifted the black lance, put the visor on his face, and slowly advanced with Xie Ping'an towards the last entrenchment of the Qian clan in front of him......
