Chapter 166: A Proverb
Maybe Kong Sheng said it.
Perhaps this is because of the butterfly effect caused by the gentle flapping of the butterfly wings of a traverser, and the wheel of history is slowly turning, although the general direction remains the same, but the trajectory of details is shifting in a way that is difficult for people to detect.
As soon as Lei Xiao walked into the inner room, Lei Tingjin's embarrassed and complicated smile was still on his face, and there was a faint roar of horses' hooves and many chaotic sounds of horses neighing and dogs barking, which were indescribable.
Kong Sheng's face changed suddenly.
He reacted the fastest, got up and pushed the door first, and stood on the hillside out of the gate of the Lei clan and looked out of the valley. Mu Changfeng and Lei Tingjin followed.
Lei's home is actually an arc-shaped valley at the junction of the three provinces of Lu, Suzhou and Anhui, which is half of the foothills of the nameless high mountains. In addition to Lei Tingjin's mother and son, there are more than 100 families living in the valley, scattered at the foot of the mountain and under the slopes, forming a deserted population settlement in a chaotic manner.
There were also three or five families on the left and right sides of the thatched hut of the mother and son, and at this moment, many mountain people rushed out of their small courtyards and looked at the mouth of the valley with panicked expressions.
The roar of horses' hooves became more and more earth-shaking from far and near. Lei Tingjin listened with a serious expression, and then got up and said in a deep voice: "There are at least five or six hundred people, horse teams, mainly cavalry!" ”
Kong Sheng frowned and muttered, "This place is not far from Ningling...... Ah, no, could it be a thief who retreated from Ningling? Ah, it's not good, it's Yang Chaozong's people! ”
Kong Sheng's face changed again, he suddenly remembered something, according to the time, at this time, it was the time when Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun led the army north to defeat the rebel Yang Chaozong's department in Ningling, this battle. At the tragic cost of heavy casualties, the two annihilated more than 10,000 thieves and beheaded more than 20 rebels.
Kong Sheng turned his head to look at Lei Tingjin with a complicated expression, and his heart was really called success and defeat Xiao He. I'm afraid that Lei Wanchun never dreamed that he and Nan Jiyun would show their strength in the north of Ningling, inflict heavy losses on the rebels, and played a triumphant song, but the result was that the rest of the rebels fled to the direction of his wife and third son Lei Thunder into the secluded mountainous area, putting his wife and young son into some kind of dangerous situation.
Sure enough, at this moment, the deafening roar of horses' hooves appeared in the field of vision, and hundreds of Yan cavalry who had lost their armor rushed into the valley in an irregular formation. The sound of weapons colliding, people shouting and neighing horses is endless.
Immediately, a small group of cavalry laughed wildly and brandished sharp scimitars, and rushed to the scattered mountain dwellings at the foot of the mountain like a gust of wind, and it was not long before the noise was so much that the chickens and dogs jumped, and the miserable cries of the mountain people came from time to time, and the crazy looting kicked off, and fireworks broke out, and many mountain people who escaped from their homes to help the old and the young were driven by the thieves, running all over the mountains. In the end, it was difficult to escape the tragic fate of being slashed under the horse.
"These brutes have no humanity!" Lei Tingjin's mother and son have lived here for three to five months, and have established a good relationship with the nearby mountain people. Seeing these kind and simple mountain people being slaughtered by thieves like hares, Lei Tingjin's face turned blue and he was so angry that he turned back and went to the courtyard to find his spear, and was about to rush down the hillside.
"Stop! Where are you going? Saburo? Rayshaw pushed the door open and walked out of the thatched hut, and stood in the courtyard with a gloomy expression.
She had just had a cold. Because of her excitement, her face became even paler, and her weak body trembled slightly in the cold wind, but Kong Sheng found that Lei Xiao was also holding a spear in his hand. He wrapped his gray hair in a gray bun with a gray turban, and tied it with cyan leggings.
Lei Tingjin raised his spear and pointed at the bottom of the mountain with a blue face, and said loudly: "Ah Niang, I can't watch them kill innocents indiscriminately...... A group of thieves, bullying unarmed mountain people, what kind of ability? What a bunch of beasts that are not as good as that! ”
Lei Xiaoshi walked step by step with a spear, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be impatient! You are alone, outnumbered, and rushing down can only be sent to death. ”
Lei Xiao walked out of the courtyard gate and stood side by side with Kong Sheng and the others, looking at the vicious thieves running at the foot of the mountain and the mountain people who fell in pools of blood everywhere, and gritted their teeth.
Mu Changfeng held the long sword at his waist and looked back at Kong Sheng.
Kong Sheng strode towards the courtyard, took his Fang Tian painting halberd, and whistled again, and the white horse chased the wind and neighed to break free from the reins and rushed over.
Kong Sheng turned over his horse with a calm face, and said sideways to Fang Tianji on his horse: "Two brothers, we can't hesitate any longer, this group of rebels is obviously defeated and fled here, wantonly slaughtering the mountain people to vent their anger, they will rush up the hillside sooner or later, we can't sit still, we must rush out!" ”
Mu Changfeng also turned on his horse and turned his head to look at the thunder into the mother and son.
Lei Tingjin looked at his mother with a complicated expression.
Lei Xiao sighed lightly: "San Lang, what your righteous brother said is right, it seems that we can't live in seclusion here and live secretly, since this is the case, then what are you hesitating about?" Go to the back of the house and lead the horse, and we will rush down the mountain together, and if we can save one person, it will be one person! ”
Thunder was overjoyed, and ran to the back of the house, and immediately led out two red horses, which were the mounts of him and his mother, Rayshaw. Although it is not a good horse, it has four strong hooves and a strong physique, and it is also a war horse that has been trained for a long time in the army.
Lei Xiao patted the back of his horse, and the red horse actually bent his body, so that Lei Xiao easily stepped on the horse. Such a popular war horse mount, Mu Changfeng secretly envied it.
Lei Tingjin also got on the horse and looked at Lei Xiao with some concern. Lei Xiaoshi smiled slightly, and said loudly: "My son, don't worry about A-Niang, although A-Niang is old, she can still ride a war horse and dance a spear, this chaotic soldier and thief is not in A-Niang's eyes!" ”
It was the Kong family Xiaolang who surprised the old body. I didn't expect that you, a weak scholar, could still make such a heavy Fang Tianji, it seems that the old man is looking away. Lei Xiao laughed: "If you want to kill, kill it, rush!" ”
Wielding his spear, Ryshaw took the lead in striking his horse and rushing down the hill.
She was originally a person who practiced martial arts, especially since she followed her husband Lei Wanchun to serve under Zhang Xun, she had also experienced many battles large and small, and she was not flustered at a critical juncture. Supporting the sick body and carrying a gun on the horse, he wanted to fight a bloody way with Kong Sheng and others.
After all, Lei Tingjin was still worried about his mother's safety, so he hurriedly rode his horse and followed him.
Kong Sheng took a deep breath, and the miserable howls and sharp cries for help from the mountain people who were chased and killed to the ground continued to be heard in his ears, and a monstrous anger gradually floated in his heart.
Civilians are not to be harmed. Regardless of ancient or modern, the army that wields the butcher's knife at the civilian population is definitely a combination of beasts and demons, and it is more than innocent.
Kong Sheng danced Fang Tian's halberd, slammed the horse's belly, chased the wind and hissed, and rushed down the hillside like an arrow.
Three or five thieves laughed wildly and chased two boys of twelve or thirteen years old, barefoot, crying and running down the hillside, while their parents had already fallen in a pool of blood not far away, and they saw their lives dead, and the horror of their condition could not be described in words.
In fact, how can the two children outrun the cavalry on horseback, but this thief army is in a playful mentality, like herding sheep, driving them to run around, maybe when they lose their patience, cut down with a scimitar, where can they still have their lives?
The two children unconsciously fled in the direction of Kong Sheng rushing down the hill, crying for help and staggering.
A thief rode by, and a rough laugh passed through, and he swung his scimitar to slay one of them, and the sharp scimitar reflected the cold light of the forest in the sunlight, and the boy was immediately frightened and creeped like chaff, and fell to the ground with a high-pitched cry.
Kong Sheng roared angrily, chasing the wind and sprinting over at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand also crossed a dazzling arc of light at the same time, only to hear a snort, accompanied by a high-decibel howl of pain, Kong Sheng's Fang Tian painting halberd pierced the thief's body, and then raised it high, blood splashed, and threw it under the horse.
At this moment, Kong Sheng's heart was incomparably calm and incomparably cold, putting aside all the shackles and scruples. He knew very well in his heart that in this turbulent era, in this royal society where either you die or I live, any soft-heartedness will lead to the destruction of his life.
The companion was suddenly killed by a young man on a white horse holding a heavenly halberd, and several other thieves became frightened and angry, and rushed over fiercely with insults, and the scimitar in his hand was so crazy that he beckoned to Kong Sheng.
Kong Sheng laughed, and the corners of his mouth provoked a ruthless arc. The Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was a long weapon, and with the length of his arms, the range of lethality could be imagined, so before a few thieves rushed forward, Fang Tian's halberd, with the sound of whistling wind and murderous aura, came in an instant, and with an unstoppable strong force, the head of one of the thieves fell to the ground, and the blood rushed to the sky, splashing Kong Sheng's body.
Kong Sheng was so killed, he touched the blood on his face, and with a cold face, he danced Fang Tian's halberd and rushed into the group of thieves, slashing left and right, unstoppable, like entering a no-man's land. His Fang Tian Painting Halberd is powerful and heavy, supplemented by his innate divine power, as long as it touches it, it will either be dead or injured.
Mu Changfeng rode his horse and killed the thieves who surrounded and blocked him, and he did not have the upper hand at all. His swordsmanship is so good that if he wants to escape, no one will stop him.
In front of the side, Rayshaw stabbed a thief under the horse with a single shot, the spear in his hand was slashed into the sky, a thin layer of red appeared on his slightly pale face, and a touch of resoluteness swept between his eyebrows.
The Lei Xiao clan galloped on horseback, and the spear in his hand was like a dragon out of the water, changing in a thousand ways. She raised her head and glanced in the direction of Kong Sheng's killing, and saw that the young man was dancing Fang Tian's halberd to deter the thieves, and the thieves were beheaded under the horse, with blood all over her body, her hair was scattered and flying on the back of her head, and she was extremely powerful, she was shocked in her heart, and couldn't help but exclaim, and immediately cheered up and repelled the attack of the two thieves with a gun.
"It's a fucking pleasure!" Thunder entered the seclusion in the mountains and forests for a long time, and now the prancing horse spear is on the battlefield again, and the hearty feeling is fundamentally described in words. He laughed wildly and sent the spear into the throat of a thief, and seeing his corpse slowly fall down in the splattering of blood, Lei Thunder Jin suddenly withdrew the spear, shocked, trembled, and scattered the blood on the tip of the spear in midair.
