Chapter 42: The Camel

The morning sun has just risen.

The first rays of sunlight were still hidden in the distant mountains, but the sky was gradually becoming clearer. Hanshui Hao Hao came from the east, a few miles outside Xiangyang City, and the fishermen who got up early urged the boat to go upstream against the water.

Today, the fog on the water surface is not thick, there seems to be something floating in the river in the distance, a few boats of fishermen are happy to see this, the road is floating wealth from the water, busy driving the boat to the past. Before they got close, a few sharp-eyed people were frightened and frightened, and spread far along the river, "There are dead people, dead people, dead people." ”

There were originally a few corpses floating down on the surface of the water, and as the river surged, more and more corpses were discovered, from three or two found first, and gradually increased to a dozen. The corpses that floated with the river were all the appearance of ordinary people on both sides of the river, most of them were disheveled, and occasionally a few naked corpses were interspersed. The corpses that floated down from the water, at first, the wounds were all critical, either in the chest or in the neck, all of them were killed by a single blow, and then the corpses that floated in, the wounds on the body gradually increased.

There are bold fishermen who sail upward, only to see the river rolling, and after a while, the corpse that floats down is a burly man in a strong suit. The men in the strong suits were all dressed in black, and the style of clothing was uniform, and some of them held their swords tightly in their hands, and the whole body was half-sunk in the river by the sword, and they were only seen when they were close.

When those fishermen saw this scene, although they didn't know how so many powerful men were killed and fell into the water, they also knew that such a vendetta was not something they could provoke. In a state of fright, he was about to sail away, when he heard the hoofs of the horses on the shore, and a caravan of forty or fifty men galloped down the river bank from downstream.

"The government is on business, the people on the ship, leave quickly. The government is on business, and the people on the boat, leave the ...... quickly" Among the group of men and horses, there was a rider, holding the reins in one hand, standing up from the stirrups and shouting to the river. The rest of the riders did not stop, urging their horses to gallop upstream along the Han River.

The fishermen were afraid that the man on horseback would change his mind and cause trouble, so where could they care to see if these people were really from the government, so they hurriedly beat the oars lightly, and diverted the boat to row downstream. A few small boats did not travel more than half a mile, and several large boats rowed by more than a dozen people lined up on the river, coming against the current, and on each large boat, there were several strong men standing in the bow with long hooks in their hands, hooking the corpses in the river water onto the boat.

The fishermen did not dare to look at the big boat, so they hurriedly avoided it, and rowed back desperately with all their might.

The river is mighty, and the two fleets are staggered.

The fishermen rowing home could not see that behind them, the corpse fishing boats lined up in a row rowed more vigorously upstream than them, salvaging the corpses of the people and those powerful men all the way, salvaging the dead innocent people who should have been buried in the soil at this time and the bodies of those powerful men who should not have died in the plan.

In the upper reaches of the Han River, more corpses were washed down from that small town called LΓΌjin, and innocent blood and criminal blood flowed out of their respective corpses, mixed together, merged into the mighty river, and then were scattered by the river......

......

Half an hour before the corpse boat appeared on the Han River.

Let's follow the trajectory of the appearance of the corpse salvage boat and the source of the order, and look at the mansion where Zheng Xi is in Xiangyang City.

The lights in the courtyard have long since been extinguished.

In the early morning coolness, in the main hall, there was an extra case on the position where Zheng Xi was originally standing, and Zheng Xi sat behind the case. Zheng Qian's body underground has been put away, and in the position of the original corpse, Yao Zhanshan, whose right arm is shoulder-high, is kneeling on the ground with his hair scattered. Originally, around the corpse, a few Zheng family members from Xingyang and Zheng Qin of the Iron Sword Gate had long since disappeared, but there were a few more unfamiliar faces that Yao Zhanshan didn't know standing in the hall.

Yao Zhanshan, the reputation of the rivers and lakes is not obvious, but within the Zheng family, he is known as a "double killer" with a desperate road and a desperate household. One of the deputy leaders of the Tongdetang Tiger Group was completely angry at the moment, not so much kneeling as standing on the ground.

"Alright, the snake team has gone to clean up your mess, you can tell me more about last night's scene, from the beginning." Facing Yao Zhanshan, who smashed things up, Zheng Xi, who was sitting behind the case, did not have the gloom of hearing the news of Zheng Qian's death last night, but said kindly.

"The subordinates received the night falcon at the moment of the hour, and in order to ensure the effect of the action, Team Leader Hou deliberately waited until the ugly time to make a move. Although the population of that town is not large, after all, it is close to the Han River, and if someone finds out in advance, it will be a little troublesome to escape from the water. Moreover, the second and third tigers have not appeared, and the five tiger killing formations cannot be formed, so I will try to delay it as much as possible. As if thinking of something, a confused look appeared in Yao Zhanshan's eyes again.

"Let's not talk about the two tigers and the three tigers, continue to talk about the process." Zheng Xi said.

β€œ...... Yu Wenzhuo has been taken away for a long time, and we don't want him to run away. In this way, when he waited until he was ugly, the team leader saw that he couldn't wait any longer, so he gave the order to do it. Erhu and ....." Yao Zhanshan preached here, remembering what Zheng Xi had just said, skipping and continuing, "This kind of thing, for us, is really nothing, at most a routine task. According to the plan, they were divided into three teams, one team was on guard, one team was on guard from the periphery, and the other team directly surrounded and killed Yu Wenzhuo. At the beginning, everything went well, including the siege of Yu Wenzhuo. In the end, it is a master of the Eleventh Realm, when we surrounded it, Yuwen Zhuo found out, so what? The master of the eleventh realm, we have also killed. ”

β€œ...... The turn of events came halfway through the siege of the town. At that time, we walked through the alley and entered a small courtyard, which was just an ordinary courtyard in a small town, and there was a spiritual shed in the courtyard, and I happened to be on that line, and I would have walked away. In the mourning shed, there was an old woman ......" Yao Zhanshan said this, his expression revealing deep fear. "The old woman sat in the mourning tent in the middle of the night.... Han Da went over, shaved off the old woman's head with a knife, and then went into the house to check ......"

"Han Da just arrived in the Nine Realms last month, if he had come out and behaved well this time, I had planned to assign him a separate team of people. At that time, he was already standing at the door of the house, and when I reached out to push the door, I saw a knife light. ”

"With just one sword, Han Da's head flew up, the Nine Realms, ah......"

Then I saw a camel with a knife in his hand, a very ordinary knife. He stood in the doorway, just glanced at me, and went into the room, and then took out a little girl from the room. ”

"At this time, I have already sent a signal and gathered a few people to come over, what about the master, not to mention, he is holding the child. The few people who passed by for the first time were all killed by him. I saw that things were not going well, and continued to pile people up. At first, I thought it was a battle between masters, and there were too many people to make it hard, so I removed a few weak ones and let them continue to hunt the residents who woke up, and they wouldn't be needed in that kind of formation anyway. But by the time I came to my senses, the situation was out of control......"

The camel held the little girl in his left hand, and waved a piece of his right hand. I've never seen such a knife technique, and I can't stand it with a sword, it's obviously sealed, and I don't know how the knife cut in again, as if there was a gap in the middle of the erected sword, and many brothers died under that knife. ”

"After all, he was holding a seven or eight-year-old child in his arms, and his body was much slower, and when there were more and more of us, he ran away. I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, the direction of running is Yu Wenzhuo's side...... As a result, the encirclement on Yu Wenzhuo's side was also dispersed. Yao Zhanshan shook his head, recalling the scene. After Yuwen Zhuo was rescued, he still wanted to go with the camel, but the camel was annoyed and slashed Yuwen Zhuo. Yu Wenzhuo had to swim for a while, and before the crossbow team surrounded us, he escaped by the river......"

"How did the night falcon get destroyed? After fighting for so long, won't it be released? In the quiet hall, someone asked from the unfamiliar face next to him.

"Before that camel entered the courtyard, he had already killed the Hayabusa and the Night Falcon." The person next to him interjected, Zheng Xi did not hesitate, Yao Zhanshan was secretly surprised, and kept answering.

"So, you came back quickly to report the news?" Zheng Xi said, "Everyone has run away, what kind of letter is this?" ”

"Elder Sun, let's talk about the situation of the person you know." Hearing this, Zheng Xi pondered for a moment and said to the person kneeling next to Yao Zhanshan.

The man raised his head, and he was Elder Sun, who was the third of the four elders of the Iron Sword Sect.

It's just that at this time, Elder Sun is even more unbearable than Yao Zhanshan, and he is completely like his mind has been robbed. I don't know if it was due to the influence of the same enemy or the same state of mind, but the tone of their statements was very similar.

"That person is the master of the back kitchen of Baiyun Building, it should be, everyone calls him Master Ding, yes, he is a camel, if it weren't for this, I might not be able to recognize him at night. We've been to Lijin for a long time, and we've seen him a few times, he's usually been by the Han River, sometimes on the shore, sometimes on the willow tree, just sitting, and I've never seen him practice martial arts, and I've never seen him hold a knife, oh, he's used a knife, he's used it when cooking, but it's a kitchen knife. I've seen him cook a few times, and that's all he has to say..... I also chatted with him, I didn't talk much, I respected him when I saw him, and I didn't see anyone quarrel with him. After all, the food in Baiyunlou is quite delicious, the people in it are somewhat familiar with us, every time we go, all the wine money is free, you know, we usually drink a lot, so calculated, the restaurant gives us a very cheap price, of course, we usually treat them well......" Elder Sun, who was kneeling on the ground, in addition to the fear of Zheng Xi, obviously fell into another greater fear, and the narration in his mouth was mixed with the scene that happened not long ago, and gradually entered into an incoherent bewilderment," When he slashed at me, he clearly recognized me, but he didn't stop at all. One year, I even gave him a reward...... The two Dharma protectors of the monks and nuns had drunk wine in Baiyun Tower and had seen him, but they rushed up and had their throats slit. Have we ever killed anyone, and we haven't wanted to die well in this life, maybe we'll die one day. But that person seems to be able to play tricks, he can't stop it, he can't even fight it, and it's not worth dying..... In fact, the most terrifying thing is not his knife skills, but the eyes. I've seen his eyes in Baiyun Tower, not like they are today, a little wooden. The first time I saw that ruthless, even crazy look today, I felt that when he rushed towards us, he was excited, and if he hadn't held that girl, I don't think he would have gotten gone. Alas, I gave him a reward that year......

Elder Sun recalled, and chattered to Zheng Xi for a long time, and Zheng Xi also listened patiently to many details, until many of the things that Elder Sun said in his mouth had appeared for the third time, and then he interrupted, "Okay, I understand." Anything else that comes to mind? ”

"Others?" Elder Sun came back to his senses from the narration, looked at Zheng Xi with puzzled eyes, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, "Others, well, the knife he used ......"

"What's wrong with the knife?" Zheng Xi asked.

"He didn't hack me, the knife was a little short, oh, no, it wasn't easy." Elder Sun himself is also a master, otherwise it would be difficult for him to sit firmly in the position of the four elders in the Iron Sword Gate. Since he thought of the knife, he followed his thoughts, stretched out two elbow-length broken arms, endured the pain, and waved them into the air, as if feeling something. Suddenly stopped, and a dead ash surged on his face, "Scimitar, if it's a scimitar, I'll die, it should be a scimitar......"

"Machete? He should have used a scimitar a lot. Although Elder Sun didn't understand what he said, Zheng Xi still understood, and nodded to Elder Sun, "Okay, it's hard work, let's go down." ”

"Give more pensions." Zheng Xi whispered to a strange young new face standing on the side, and gestured.

Elder Sun was bowing and retreating, and when he heard this, he raised his head in surprise, and instantly understood the meaning of Zheng Xi's words. In his dull eyes, unwillingness, anger and horror had not yet had time to fully appear, and the young man with a new face had already appeared behind him, pointing a finger at the back of his head, and Elder Sun fell down in response to the sound in front of his eyes, and died of exhaustion.

On the side, Yao Zhanshan's reaction was much faster, the word "pension" in Zheng Xi's mouth had just been exported, Yao Zhanshan's body was like smoke and he didn't have time to turn around, his back was to the hall door, and he swept out sharply. It's just that the figure is still in mid-air, next to the young man who killed Elder Sun, a man with a sallow face immediately moved, pinched Yao Zhanshan's neck when Yao Zhanshan swept out of the door of the hall, and always threw it back in front of Zheng Xi's case.

Yao Zhanshan, who was lying on the ground, looked at so many masters, and looked at these new unfamiliar faces in the hall, and there was infinite despair and understanding in his heart, and he shouted hysterically, "You, where are so many masters?" A few Yuwen Zhuo can also be killed, you deliberately let us Tiger Group-", Zheng Xi, who was sitting diagonally behind the case, frowned, and waved his hand impatiently.

The sallow-faced man stepped forward and slapped his palm on Yao Zhanshan's Baihui Cave, one of the deputy leaders of the Tongdetang Tiger Group who had just realized at this time, with infinite resentment in his heart and countless sins he had done in the small town of Lujin, and returned to the west with his life.
