Chapter 24: A Helping Hand (2)

The sunset has sunk, and the remaining red is still gradually swallowed up by the night, and the fierce fight continues.

Meng Shuo has already piled up a layer of corpses around him, mutilated corpses, Meng Shuo's whole body is covered with blood, the originally handsome face has become extremely hideous at this time, and the hammer that has been picked up is like a whirlwind, and these killers, as if their lives are not their own, rushed up wave after wave.

Maybe he wanted to use crowd tactics to drag down this strong man. No matter how fierce the tiger is, it is difficult to withstand the siege of the wolves, Meng Shuo has been injured in many places, Wu Hook is sharp, and it has always been as sharp as clay, not to mention this flesh and blood.

The blood oozing from his body, mixed with the blood of the killers, fell to the ground drop by drop, and the continuous fighting, coupled with the blood loss, Meng Shuo already felt a little dizzy. In order to protect Chen Zhuang and his wife in the car, he did not dare to leave his post without permission, and in order to avoid the feather arrows, he had been attacked by someone, and the wound was extremely deep and the blood was not stopping.

The oncoming feather arrows, seeing that they were about to shoot on Qu Ling's body, dozens of feather arrows, overwhelming, even if you are three heads and six arms, there is nowhere to hide, Qu Ling thought to himself that this time it seems that this time it is more auspicious, although he thinks so, the bronze sword in his hand has not stopped flying for a moment, and many feather arrows have been shot down by Qu Ling.

Seeing that he was about to come to the front of the fake Yang Chengjun, he suddenly only heard a gust of wind whining in his back, Qu Ling heard the sound of the wind, and quickly fell to the ground, only to see that in the wind, countless dominoes were like darts off the string, and the oncoming feather arrows were in the air, colliding, and both fell to the ground.

The strength is so strong that it can actually knock down the feather arrows issued by the crossbow machine, which shows that the kung fu of the people who come is naturally not comparable to ordinary people. Qu Ling thought in his heart, but he didn't forget to continue to step forward, maybe he wanted to know too much, who sent these killers? What is the connection with the inner ghost of the Mo family?

Qu Ling didn't care about the feather arrows and dominoes back and forth, rolled on the ground, a carp stood up, jumped up, and came to the front of the fake Yang Chengjun, and at the same time got up, the bronze sword also rose with him, and the fake Yang Chengjun screamed, and one arm had already flown out several feet. The blood flowed, and the fake Yang Chengjun lost his combat effectiveness all of a sudden.

As the dominoes were played, those men who gathered to gamble joined the battle. The killers suffered from the enemy on their backs, and after a short time, they were wiped out, leaving only this impostor Yangcheng Jun who was missing an arm.

"Thank you for saving me!" Meng said that he hugged his fists and saluted, "Dare to respect the name of all chivalrous guests, and save your life, Meng said that you can't help but report it."

The captain who was the leader here said with a whimper, Meng couldn't understand a word, Qu Ling was shocked, isn't this the authentic Chu dialect, Qu Ling pointed his sword at the neck of the fake Yangcheng Jun, and asked in the Chu dialect:

"Are you Yangcheng-kun's protégé?"

Everyone nodded yes.

"Deacon Meng, you come to help me watch this person," he said, and drove the fake Yang Chengjun to Meng Shuo's side like a dog.

"What is your master's credential for letting you come?" Qu Ling continued to ask in the Chu dialect, these doormen. I saw that the leader took out half of the jade from his arms and handed it over, Qu Ling took half of the jade and took it out of his arms, and the other half was put on the ground, and the two pieces were combined into one.

"That's right!" Qu Ling said happily.

The captain at the head told Qu Ling that their master had an invitation, and they went over to speak. Qu Ling hurriedly translated it to Meng Shuo, because of Fang Cai's life-saving grace, plus half a piece of jade was not bad at all, everyone had some confidence in their hearts.

Two people came over, holding the fake Yangchengjun, a group of people on the shallow river beach, groping back and forth, into a large reed field, headed by the captain, a whistle, a small boat, from the reeds, with the faint moonlight, you can see the people, dressed in black, a few people on the boat, in the twists and turns of the reeds forward.

After a short walk, I saw the brilliant lights in front of me, a courtyard was presented in front of me, and through the light, I could see that the guards were heavily guarded, and most of the guards were dressed in uniform clothes, but in their hands were a Wu hook of water, with a good bow and a pot of feather arrows on their backs.

At the gate where the group entered, a middle-aged man hurriedly got up to greet him.

"You're Qu Ling, right? Didn't get hurt, did you? ”

Qu Ling was puzzled, how could someone know his name, and asked with a puzzled face:

"Who are you and why do you know my name".

The middle-aged man laughed and said:

"You are the daughter of Qu Qi, the general of the Chu State, and the righteous daughter of Meng Sheng, the giant of the Mo family, but so? This burly and strong man should be Meng Shuo Deacon! The two behind him must be Shu Xiang Chen Zhuang and his wife."

When Qu Ling heard this, since the person who came knew so much about the background of his group, coupled with the half of the jade huang that these fathers had just taken out, calling him the master, Qu Ling thought to himself that this person was not Yang Chengjun, and then looked at the age of his father-in-law, and his heart was undoubtedly Yang Chengjun.

Qu Ling hurriedly stepped forward and saluted:

"My nephew is abrupt, I didn't know that my uncle was coming, so it's polite," he said, and fell to his knees.

"Haha... What a clever girl! Sure enough, it's weird, you can guess it's me at once, hurry up" said and got up and came to Qu Ling's side. Pick up Qu Ling with his hand.

casually asked:

"How is your mother?"

"Thank you uncle for your concern, my mother is in good health and has been presiding over some affairs of the Mo family." Qu Ling replied.

"Excellent! Your mother is a powerful character, if it weren't for your mother's plot, the Mo family would not be as good as it is today." Yang Chengjun said as he led Qu Ling to the seat next to him and sat down.

The guests and hosts were seated.

Yang Chengjun was the first to speak:

"Someone just came to report, saying that it was 'Feiyuwei' pretending to be a person from the Chu State to chase and kill a man and a woman by the river, and I heard the description, I guess you must have come in advance. They let them come to the rescue, and they were not afraid that you would not come, so they gave the half of the jade to the doorman. ”

"I see! Uncle and nephew have something to say, and I hope that my uncle will advise me." Don't look at Qu Ling's high-flying and domineering words on weekdays, but when it comes to the occasion, he still has a clear eye when he speaks.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it," Yangcheng Jun said, and ordered his subordinates to make tea and serve it.

"What kind of place is this? How can you determine if it's the 'Flying Feather Guard'? How did the Feather Guard know about our whereabouts? Qu Ling asked a series of questions.

Yang Chengjun smiled and said:

"This is the secret base of the Chu State in the Qi State, the two countries of Qi and Chu are great powers, the Duke of Qi Huan took the lead in the hegemony, and our Chu State also dominated the princes in the era of King Chu Zhuang. As a great power today, the State of Qi and Chu occupy a pivotal position among the nations.

Qi is rich in fish and salt, the lacquerware and silk fabrics of my Chu country are also deeply loved by all countries, and Linzi is the largest trading city in the East, and the change in prices will affect the balance of power between countries.

That's why a secret stronghold was set up here, firstly, to spy on the prices of Linzi, buy cheaply and sell expensive to earn gold and silver for the Chu State, and secondly, the East is united, and each country has its own thoughts, and the Chu State, as the leading country of the Alliance, naturally has to find out the true intentions of each country.

As for why you know that it is the 'Flying Feather Guard', I heard from the doorman, you didn't catch a living one, you might as well bring him up, and you will understand at a glance."

While speaking, Yang Chengjun glanced at the guards, and after a while, the fake Yang Chengjun was brought up. As soon as I saw the gray face, I knew that the arm that had just been cut off by Qu Ling after suffering a lot of crimes was still dripping blood, grinning in pain, and just not howling.

"What a tough man! Still pretending to be me? The old man doesn't look like you! Besides, the old man is not as young as you, and someone will take off his clothes" Yangchengjun teased him while directing the doorman to come and do it.

This man kept resisting, but he was helpless, the strength of the people was great, and he lost too much blood, like a sheep falling into a pack of wolves, just waiting to be eaten, and after a while, he was stripped of his shirt.

Everyone was amazed, only to see that on the back, depicted a pair of wings ready to fly, the texture is delicate, the depiction is exquisite, as if born from the back of a person, lifelike, but also accompanied by a different kind of color, the room is suddenly colorful, the light on the back echoes with the lights, beautiful.

Tattoos, also known as tattoos, are permanent patterns formed by piercing the skin and applying various colors to make it a part of the skin.

In ancient times, witchcraft was prevalent, coupled with the many totem worship, the ancients had the custom of cutting off their hair and tattooing.

Tattoos can be used as a symbol of the tribe, and can also be used to intimidate the other party and show bravery, which is similar to some scenes in reality, and also reflects the fact that this culture has been passed down for a long time.

The other is to enhance one's will and strength, and exist as a kind of spiritual sustenance, mostly to pray for the protection of some kind of power.

'Flying Feather Guard' is mostly hereditary, the selection is very strict, the original existence as an internal security force of the 'Flying Feather Guard', because of the continuous expansion of the Qin State, need to understand the Eastern countries in a timely manner, all levels of information, so 'Flying Feather Guard' secretly infiltrated into the Oriental various classes, and at the same time, in order to prevent people from the six eastern countries, mixed into the 'Flying Feather Guard', in addition to the hereditary point, is each selected' Fei Yuwei had to go to Xianyang to meet the kings of Qin, and after the kings of Qin passed the examination, they were secretly arranged by the court physicians of the Qin State to depict such tattoos.

Tattoo color is very rare and made of lapis lazuli. Patina. Litharge. Alum, mica and a variety of Chinese herbs unique to Qindi are formulated.

Others are easy to find, that is, this lapis lazuli is very rare, lapis lazuli is like the sky, or the complex gold dust is scattered, brilliant, if the stars are beautiful in the sky.

The color of Fang Cai is mostly because of lapis lazuli.

During the period, the ratio was naturally the top secret of the Qin State, even if the six eastern countries captured the 'Flying Feather Guard', it was difficult to imitate such a delicate pattern and color.

"Since the **** received a letter from your father-in-law, I knew that the matter was important, so I decided to come in person, calculate the itinerary on the road, you should only arrive in Linzi tomorrow, why did you come in advance?" Yang Chengjun asked puzzled.

"Hey! Don't mention it, it's not that the giant told me to hurry up, Deacon Meng, I occasionally stopped and rested along the way, and I rushed forward day and night, so I arrived some time early." While speaking, he glanced at Meng Shuo with his eyes, and Meng Shuo was covered in blood, and he didn't know if it was his own or the killer's.

Yang Chengjun hurriedly ordered the doorman to lead Meng Shuo down and apply medicine for treatment, naturally it was not a problem, and Mrs. Chen Zhuang was also invited to rest in the hall, so naturally she would not repeat it.

Above the hall, only Qu Ling and Yang Chengjun were left, as well as the 'Feiyu Guard' who was being guarded. Although Qu Ling was a little tired after the fight, when he thought that his trip was a secret operation, why did the 'Flying Feather Guard' have been prepared, thinking of what his mother said to him about the ghosts in the Mo family, he couldn't help but feel a little cool behind him.
