Chapter 260: Capture Jiang Yi
The moon is dark and the wind is high, these four words happen to be often used to describe the situation around the four of Changyou at the moment.
Guangling Town is full of refugees walking back and forth wrapped in clothes, most of these people come from the Central Plains, out for almost an hour, although there is no trace of Jiang Yi, the owner of the Xiangxiang Church, but Changyou and several people have unexpectedly obtained a very important news from these people.
Zhang Xianzhong was appeased in Gucheng last year, and the peasant army did not report any major events for a while, and the court was relieved, and those scribes began to sing praises of virtue.
Originally, Changyou thought the same way, but when he accidentally listened to the chatter of the refugees around him tonight, he suddenly learned that although Zhang Xianzhong was surrendered, he never accepted the adaptation and transfer, and even the official position given by the imperial court.
If this matter is true, then Zhang Xianzhong's surrender is likely to be an expedient measure, and sooner or later there will be chaos, just thinking about it, Changyou heard a middle-aged man next to him talking about it with great interest.
"The Eight Kings are secretly gathering the rebel army, and it is estimated that the time for another incident is not far away!"
Walking in the crowd, Changyou heard many people talking about this again, and listened carefully while paying attention to the surrounding environment.
"Great!"
"I said a long time ago that the rebel army of the Eight Kings will never be in the same league as the dog officers and soldiers, this is really exciting!"
"yes, let's go back quickly."
The more Changyou and the others listened, the more they frowned, what did these people in the original think, didn't the resurgence of thieves want chaos in the world, why were they all excited.
Changyou and a few people have lived in Dengzhou Mansion without worrying about food and clothing, and they have the right in their hands, and what they see every day is also the scene of Jingping and affluence under the jurisdiction of the Dengzhou camp, of course, they will not think of how hungry they are all over the Central Plains at the moment.
Compared with Liu Zeqing in Shandong, the Central Plains officials and troops exploited and oppressed the people even more, and there were endless incidents such as killing good people and making meritorious deeds, insulting women and killing people on the street.
This is also the reason why the hearts of the people are back, except for a small number of righteous teachers who are loved by the people, the rest of the officers and soldiers are all secretly poked in the backbone by the people.
In history, Zhang Xianzhong's resurgence had a great impact, and the arrogant and domineering Zuo Battalion was even defeated for thousands of miles, and Zuo Liangyu even threw the general seal in the chaos of the army, which was the fuse for the peasant army to get out of control.
Mo said that Luo Rucai, Ma Shouying and other peasant army units that had already been pacified responded one after another, and even the people who were heavily oppressed by the officials and soldiers everywhere flocked to the crowd.
When Zhang Xianzhong's troops hit a place, there will always be people who volunteer to be guides for them, and inform them of the location and distribution of the officers and troops one by one.
After listening to a few words, Chang You keenly noticed that something was wrong with a gray-tattered man in front of him, but in order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, he still followed quietly.
The man walked faster and faster, gradually breaking away from the refugees and turning north, Chang You nodded at a salt ding behind him, and said:
"Rattan, you come with me, Liangyou and Beard continue to look here!"
That was said, but Changyou was so gripping that he was already anxiously chasing after the rattan before he could catch up, and just as he turned around, a strong wind blew on the left side.
Chang You had a bad heart, but at this moment, he had no time to dodge, so he could only subconsciously raise his hand to parry.
The man in the gray coat on the other side smiled coldly, as if he had expected it a long time ago, and the short blade in his hand deftly turned in a certain direction, and quickly swiped downward.
The knife hit Changyou steadily in the lower abdomen, and suddenly a wound that was neither deep nor shallow, bleeding like an infusion, Changyou endured the severe pain and kicked the opponent aside with great force.
At this time, he was finally able to determine that this person was Jiang Yi, the hall master of the Wenxiang Sect in Shandong.
"Changtou!"
At this moment, the rattan finally caught up, and while running, he pulled out the waist knife from his arms, and shouted at Jiang Yi to slash at him, but the other party did not panic, but flashed slightly to the left.
After dodging this knife, Jiang Yi snorted coldly, and before the rattan had time to turn around under inertia, he bent over and slashed, the knife was bloody, and the waist knife in the rattan's hand could no longer hold it, and it fell to the ground with a "clang".
He covered his tendoned feet and howled, and at this time, Jiang Yizheng was holding a short blade and wanted to strike the last blow!
Jiang Yi grinned and covered his lower abdomen, at this moment the sand under him was stained dark black with blood, fortunately, the knife wound was not deep, although there was a lot of blood, but it did not hurt the inside.
Enduring the sharp pain in his lower abdomen, Changyou grabbed a handful of sand and shouted loudly in a hurry:
"Thief Night! Look at your grandfather's arrows! ”
Arrows, the other party actually carries arrows?
Arrows are much sharper than firearms in the case of such shoddy firearms, and if the officers and soldiers say that they have a team of well-trained archers, they are actually more deterrent to the ears of other soldiers and horses than a team of bird-gunners.
Jiang Yi was shocked, and immediately turned around without the slightest suspicion, what he didn't expect to usher in was not a cluster of arrows off the string, but a handful of sand with a bloody smell!
The sand was too small, although Jiang Yi subconsciously used a short blade to cross, there were still a lot of them in his eyes, Changyou seized this opportunity, used his last strength to rush forward a few steps, and was about to swing it down.
Suddenly remembering Wang Zheng's order to only catch and not kill, Changyou's knife finally landed firmly on Jiang Yi's neck.
Feeling the cold killing intent coming from his neck, although he couldn't figure out why the other party didn't kill him directly, Jiang Yi still immediately threw down the short blade to ensure peace for a while.
"Rattan, you, hold on, good friends and beards, they'll be fast..."
Before he finished speaking, Changyou's words stopped abruptly, and the rattan covering his feet had stopped at some point, and under him, a shocking pool of blood was getting deeper and deeper.
The knife in Chang You's hand was constantly trembling, and most of the four brothers who had broken off a few days ago had already been damaged, which made him want to kill Jiang Yi directly countless times to avenge the brothers of the Inspection Division.
Not long after, Hu Zi and Chen Liangyou, who heard the sound of fighting, hurriedly came to support, and went up to tie Jiang Yi firmly, Chen Liangyou looked at the rattan and his eyes were still open when he was dying, closed his eyes and slowly stroked it with his hand.
Opening his eyes, Chen Liangyou came to Jiang Yi angrily, kicked him down, and shouted:
"Changtou, what are we arresting this person for!?"
"He killed so many of our brothers and didn't avenge them, I Chen Liangyou was upset!!"
The beard looked at the two of them face to face, and at this time, Changyou covered the wound that had just been bandaged, and said in a deep voice:
"You are uneasy, Chen Liangyou, let me tell you, Lao Tzu is more than anyone else to kill this scumbag!"
"Then why don't you kill!?" Chen Liangyou was still puzzled, and shouted without showing weakness, and the green tendons were exposed.
At this time, the beard raised his hand and stepped forward to persuade:
"Okay, good friend, don't..."
Before he finished speaking, his hand was knocked off by Chen Liangyou, and seeing this, Changyou sighed.
"You're still up and running." Speaking of this, Changyou roared angrily:
"Okay, then I'll tell you why you can't kill, this is Zhentai's order, only catch and don't kill, this scum is of great use to our Dengzhou battalion, I can't ruin the whole battalion's plan for my own selfishness!"
Looking at Chen Liangyou, who was silent for a while, Changyou slowly weakened and said:
"Liangyou, do you understand this time?"
Due to the excessive blood loss just now, Chang You fell down softly as soon as he said this, Chen Liangyou immediately stepped forward to catch Chang You when he saw it.
His voice slowed, he glanced at his beard, choked up, and confessed:
"It's me who is wrong, Changtou, you have to recuperate, don't have any more accidents!" Speaking of this, Chen Liangyou turned his head to look at Jiang Yi, who was blindfolded, and said with red eyes:
"Changtou, I, Chen Liangyou, believe in you, and even more in Zhentai! Then let's take this thief back to Penglai and see what Zhentai does with him! ”
Beard breathed a sigh of relief and nodded:
"Okay, that's it!"
