Chapter 280: I'd rather be a hero or a coward
The east has gradually turned white, and Chen Mu is still waiting.
Whether it is Sun Youlin or Yang Dachun, there is no news back for the time being.
Chen Mu was still sitting in the small and messy courtyard, bathed in the darkness before dawn, silently wiping the blade.
He got an epiphany from Huang Feihong and knew that the role of martial arts is to kill and injure others, but it is by no means the only role, and even the one he is most reluctant to choose.
The literati cultivated their minds through reading, and ultimately pursued the improvement of their state of mind.
And the same is true for martial artists, but the path they take is more difficult, and after honing their bodies, they understand that what they really pursue is inner peace.
That's why Lin Fucheng will live in seclusion, and Huang Feihong will resign as the head of the sect and turn to hang the pot to help the world.
Although he understood this truth and stepped into the comprehension of that layer of state of mind, Chen Mu still couldn't put down this knife.
Because this is the knife left to him by his father, and even more because he decided to use this knife to take revenge!
At the moment, as long as the news comes back, he will intercept Liu Sleeve and Fu Qingyin, and after this case is over, he will kill Trio.
Maybe when the great revenge is avenged, he can really let go of this knife, give up the role of martial arts, and instead pursue the inner realm.
The texture of the blade was very delicate, and Chen Mu seemed to have half of his soul living in this knife, and he gradually calmed down.
However, this calm did not last long, Sun Youlin ran in sweating profusely, and was also surprised to see the blood everywhere.
"It's okay, you say."
Sun Youlin didn't ask much, but said to Chen Mu: "Liu Sleeve's people have already entered the palace, it's time for us to go!" ”
Chen Mu stood up, took a deep breath, put the long knife into the sheath, inserted it horizontally into his waist, and walked out with Sun Youlin.
The white of the fish belly in the east is gradually dyed gold, the old mother who got up early has begun to cook, the street vendors have also begun to set up stalls, and the guys at the head of the shops yawn and sweep the shop surface in a daze.
On the second floor of the brothel, the disheveled and disheveled sister smoked the last hookah, wiped away the tears that had dried up a little in the corners of her eyes, squeezed out a smile, and returned to her boudoir to catch up on sleep.
At the entrance of the alley, there was a barefoot man in gray clothes, watching the sound and shadow of his sister's departure, squatting at the base of the wall, silently bowing his head, his shoulders shaking, and crying in the end.
This is the world, this is life.
Chen Mu has walked all the way, seen all the way, from sympathy, to compassion, to cold eyes, only the only remaining warmth in his heart is still strong.
But the further you go, the more movement there becomes, and the fewer pedestrians become.
I could vaguely see black smoke rising in the direction of the pier, and a bold man wanted to go out to check, but his daughter-in-law pulled his ears back into the house, and closed the door with a bang.
Some people also looked out of the window, and saw Chen Mu and the others coming quickly, and closed the window with a click, even through the window, they seemed to be able to feel fear.
Needless to say, Chen Mu knew that the fight had already started on the dock!
Wang Julou, Li Sanjiang and others, leading the brothers of the club, blocked almost all the exits around the wharf, and it was difficult for him to fly with his wings in his sleeves!
Chen Mu climbed to the high place on the edge of the dock, and as far as the eye could see, the officers and soldiers and the thieves were fighting together, the guns were shining, the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, and the fighting and screams were endless.
Because they came prepared, the officers and soldiers were numerous and well-equipped, and the Heavenly King Hui and the diehards of Fu Qingyin and Yin Lizhang were quickly killed and dispersed.
"Brothers, keep your eyes open, don't let one go!"
No one has ever seen Liu Sleeve, but everyone knows Fu Qingyin and Yin Lizhang.
So the brothers' goals are also very clear, Fu Qingyin and Yin Lizhang are big roles, if Liu Sleeve wants to escape, he will inevitably take these two with him, as long as he keeps an eye on these two, Liu Sleeve will never be able to escape!
"It's coming!"
A wave of remnants of the defeated soldiers rushed to the side of the dark alley, and the blood trailed all the way, one of them held a broken arm, crying for his father and mother, and some couldn't run, so he simply sat down, but was dragged forward by his companions.
After all, they are not those five or six dead soldiers, if everyone in the Heavenly King Society was a dead soldier, they would have achieved great things a long time ago, so why should they hide in Tibet?
Sun Youlin and the others were about to rush out, but Chen Mu stopped them.
"It's their life, let them go."
"But the young master, maybe they know the direction of Liu Sleeve and Fu Qingyin, so they still have to ask......"
Chen Mu shook his head: "If I can't bump into the old thief Liu Sleeve, then it will be my life." ”
Sun Youlin frowned, because he knew that Chen Mu never believed in fate, if he was a person who believed in fate, he should have given up revenge a long time ago, and he didn't know how many times he had died.
He was about to speak, but Haruko Ashiya secretly pulled him, and Yang Dachun also shook his head at him.
Everyone could see that Chen Mu was different today, this young man seemed to have grown up overnight, and when he grew up, everyone couldn't see through it, and they didn't dare to ask again.
Wave after wave of outlaws passed, and finally someone found the place, and someone rushed in!
Chen Mu stabbed the knife horizontally, Sun Youlin and the others were murderous, and the people who came in even held their breath!
They are the people of Hong Shuntang and Long Ji, those who follow Fu Qingyin and Yin Lizhang!
Sun Youlin held down the handle of the knife, but Chen Mu was still standing like this, and at this moment, his figure was as tall as a statue on the top of the mountain!
These people did not dare to blink, did not dare to bow their heads, did not dare to breathe, slowly squatted down, gently placed the blades in their hands on the ground, and then opened their arms, spread their hands, and retreated to the side.
Obviously, they all knew Chen Mu.
I'm afraid that few people don't recognize this incense master of Yulongtang, let alone the old people of Hongshuntang and Longji?
Chen Mu didn't speak, and they didn't dare to happen, and they even trembled to breathe.
But in the end, they mustered up the courage and gestured to the brothers who fled below, and more and more people hid in and fled.
Although Chen Mu is also their opponent, they also committed a blood oath, and the end will not be easy, but it is better than falling into the hands of officers and soldiers.
Chen Mu ignored these people, as if he didn't know them, or maybe he was just a golden body in the temple.
The place was too narrow to squeeze in quickly, but no one dared to block that window.
At this time, in the window scene, a young man in white, and a young man in a black suit, dragged an old man and fled by stumbling!
Someone showed his head at the window, as if he wanted to warn the three people, but Yang Dachun raised the knife in his hand, and the person immediately fell to the ground, and the blood shot on the floor, spreading, soaking the soles of these people's feet.
No one dared to speak out again.
Yang Dachun pointed a knife at a person, and the person could only go to the window and beckon to the three people below.
In a few moments, the three of them fled upstairs.
Fu Qingyin and Yin Lizhang, as well as the old man in the middle, just glanced at it and were about to go out, but Yang Dachun dodged and blocked the back road!
The sound of horses' hooves sounded outside, and the Guangzhou general, dressed in military uniform, led dozens of gunners, roared and chased downstairs.
They stopped below and looked up at the window, their muzzles and crossbows raised, aiming at the window.
Fu Qingyin's face was bloodless and looked at Chen Mu.
Chen Mu finally moved, he walked to the window, without any words, just showing his face to Qingchang.
Keicho frowned, but finally raised his hand.
Everyone held their breath, if this hand was quickly put down, and the muskets and crossbows were fired together, I am afraid that none of the people inside would be able to keep it!
Chen Mu glanced at Yang Dachun and ordered lightly: "Everyone else is released." ”
When everyone heard this, their arms that had been open were finally closed, and they knelt down and begged Chen Mu: "The dragon head spares his life!" ”
In the audience, except for Chen Mu's brothers, only Fu Qingyin and the three of them were still standing, which was particularly eye-catching.
Chen Mu said to them: "If you were a Hongmen brother, I would not do this, but if you deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, and betrayed the blood oath, you should die under ten thousand knives. ”
The kneeling crowd was ashamed and even more frightened, but after all, none of them left, in their opinion, Chen Mu's Dragon Hall had just opened, and they must be needed!
"The dragon leader spares his life, and we will swear to follow him!"
Chen Mu shook his head: "Your oath is not valuable, because you have already betrayed it once. ”
Chen Mu closed his eyes slightly, Yang Dachun stepped forward, the head fell to the ground, he picked up the bloody head, and threw it out of the window!
Keichaga's hand was still raised, looking at the gurgling human head, and he didn't seem to be satisfied, just like a lion eating a rabbit, which was not enough to stuff his teeth.
Yang Dachun raised his knife again, and these people finally knew that Chen Mu was not just talking.
Without any hesitation, they went crazy and rolled downstairs and scattered.
Qingchang raised his head, looked at Chen Mu in the window frame, and finally pointed his hand to the way forward, and continued to chase forward.
In the room on the second floor, Fu Qingyin and Yin Lizhang were constantly breaking out in a cold sweat, but the old man laughed.
He looked at Fu Qingyin and Yin Lizhang, and said mockingly: "Now you know why the old man has to kill him, right?" ”
Fu Qingyin and Yin Lizhang gritted their teeth, but they couldn't speak.
Chen Mu looked at Fu Qingyin and Yin Lizhang, walked forward, took out a dagger from Sun Youlin's waist, and handed it to Fu Qingyin.
"If you still recognize the ancestors of Hongmen, you will cut it off for yourself."
Fu Qingyin's pupils contracted suddenly, his toes and toes, and his center of gravity shifted several times, struggling whether to launch an offensive against Chen Mu.
Eventually, however, he took the dagger.
Chen Mu was not in a hurry, took out the cigarette stick, took out the flint and velvet from the purse of the cigarette stick, pinched the flint with his left hand, and the flint was pressed between the flint and his fingers, and the sickle on the purse struck, and the sparks came out.
Chen Mu didn't knock it, Fu Qingyin and Yin Lizhang's heartbeat accelerated by a minute, as if this percussion sound was the opening drum on the Yama Palace!
After a few knocks, the velvet finally ignited.
Chen Mu stuffed the velvet into the smoke pot, took a few sharp breaths, and spit out a thick smoke.
In the smoke, Chen Mu's face was also a little blurred, his voice was not loud, but it seemed to sound in the hearts of Fu Qingyin and Yin Lizhang.
"Two, don't insult your surname, do you want to be a hero for a moment, or a coward for a lifetime? Let's take some responsibility. ”
Hearing Chen Mu's words, Fu Qingyin's hand clenched the dagger, his knuckles instantly turned white, his pupils contracted suddenly, and with one mouth, all the fears in his heart were vented with a roar!
He did it!
