Chapter 63: The Forty-Eight Hands of Edo
Speaking of assassins, there are ancient times. Some people say that assassination is one of the oldest professions, but there are not many assassins who can leave a name in history.
Mr. Taibai once wrote a poem: Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles. Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name. Every time I watch this song "Knight's Journey", it makes people cry and blood boiling. However, Wu Lao Er prefers the sentence "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone and will never return".
At this time, the White Jade Empire should be counted as the same era as the Han Dynasty, and also experienced the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so Jing Ke, Zhuan Zhu, Yao Li, Nie Zheng, or Yu Rang, Cao Mo, Zhu Hai and other great figures in the history of assassins have been famous all over the world.
Wu Lao Er didn't know if he would have a reputation as a great assassin in the future, but he thought that what he was doing was definitely not an assassin's job.
The so-called 'one miss, fly a thousand miles' was the rule of the Assassins. These sub-brocade guards and mink stalls don't say go home and squint honestly after the terrorist activities in the Black Jade Country, can't you rest for a few days? No, under the command of the boss Liu Jin, Wu Lao Er and his colleagues were trying to enter the army camp of the Black Jade Country in the dark at this time.
Is it difficult to assassinate? It is not difficult for Wu Lao Er to say that it is not difficult to prepare, but the difficult thing is how to retreat safely. However, it seems that it is not difficult to retreat safely, but it is difficult for forty or fifty people to burrow into the enemy's camp in the middle of the night, and then withdraw after killing people.
It is not difficult to infiltrate the army camp of the Black Jade Country, after all, in the wilderness, there are almost 100,000 camps. No matter how talented the leading general is, he can't stop the soldiers patrolling under him from being lazy, let alone such a cold day.
At this time, Wu Lao Er was pouting his ass with a painful face, hiding in a low pit and observing the military camp not far away by the snowlight. Not just him, Liu Jin didn't have a brain, and sent all the people who came back to the black jade ** camp to die. In addition to the three people who failed to return from the Black Jade Country, leaving a few seriously injured people, this operation totaled forty-eight people, and this operation was called a beheading operation. However, such a mindless action made Wu Lao Er guess whether Emperor Bai Yuguo wanted to clean the East Factory, and Liu Jin was the executioner.
"Hey, you're on my hand."
Wu Lao Er turned his head to see that Yuan Hai accidentally pressed Zhang San's hand. For his three subordinates, Wu Lao Er still felt a little guilty, and brought others to find death, but he didn't leak any news in advance, and he was not authentic. However, the three of Duan Tianbao were not at all dissatisfied, and even thought that it was the honor of their lives to be able to participate in this operation, and even future generations would be proud of them. God knows what they think, Wu Lao Er can only sigh that these guys are funny.
Dozens of highly skilled assassins were staring at the military camp of the Black Jade Kingdom at this time, ready to find the right time to strike. The on-site commander of this operation is a deacon named Qin Han who is in charge of the Qinglong Hall, Wu Lao Er didn't know this person before, but he can take this position, and he must have extraordinary skills.
At this time, Wu Laoer, who had been lying in the snow for more than an hour, impatiently said to Zhang Rang beside him: "Is there any mistake, there is no order yet." After a while, I guess we'll all have to have stomach troubles, and we're going to have some kind of assassination. ”
Zhang Rangshen nodded approvingly: "If you want me to say, we have dozens of masters, even if we kill them head-on, we can drink a pot of Qin Wuyang's thief." When the time comes, there will be chaos in the camp, and our army will take advantage of the situation and will definitely be able to win a big battle. ”
Wu Lao Er also thought in his heart that so many masters could cause a certain amount of chaos and losses to the Black Jade ** team even if they attacked strongly, and these more than forty people were all extraordinary, and they were not something that ordinary soldiers could resist, and the gap between them was like putting special forces into the civilian population. Even if there are many civilians, they will not be able to form much combat effectiveness in a short period of time. However, the soldiers are far from being comparable to civilians, even if they are flustered for a while, as long as there is a general and a colonel to integrate and command, then Wu Lao Er's group of people will not want to go back alive.
Therefore, Wu Lao Er shook his head and said: "It's nonsense, don't say anything else, can we have dozens of people lying on the opposite side, if the rear army is mobilized, do you think Qin Wuyang will not know?" Besides, let's decapitate it, and like you said, it's all small soldiers. When will the 100,000 army on the opposite side be killed? ”
Zhang Rang said unconvinced: "Beheading is so easy to behead?" Which general did not have a pro-army on duty at night outside the school camp tent? It's not easy for us to get in, it's a team of ten people patrolling, and there's cross patrols and the like, it's not good, hum, I don't think we need to go in! ”
What Zhang Rang said is not unreasonable, the current dozens of people are not soldiers of the army, the discipline is not so good, a mistake caused the vigilance of the opposite side, and it is really in vain to lie here. There are ten patrol soldiers, and ten people here have to kill the other party, and they can't let the other party call the police. If it's two or three, it's okay to say, Wu Lao Er also thinks that killing ten in one breath is a bit too much.
However, you can't let the patrol team go unattended, crossing this thing, they haven't figured out the rules of the other party, they can only watch from the outside, and they have to kill it little by little, and it's really not easy to keep it from making mistakes.
The two of them were talking in the vernacular, but they found that more than a dozen people rushed out on the left, and they were all masters. What is a master for Wu Lao Er? It's hard to say, if you haven't beaten it, you won't necessarily believe it if you say that no matter how powerful it is, it's like the underworld cutting people, who is afraid of anyone with a knife!
The patrol came, ten soldiers, with irregular steps. It was about three o'clock in the morning, and all the soldiers were listless. There are patrols every day, which is no longer a task for them, but a kind of inertia. It's better when the weather is warm, anything can happen to the two countries that are at war, and now in the cold winter, both sides will soon withdraw their troops, no one would have thought that the other party would have a night attack, and it was a sacrificial night attack of a martial arts master.
Wu Lao Er saw that the dozen or so people who went out from his side were very close to the patrol soldiers, and they were so close that they could solve the battle as long as they pounced out. Unfortunately, there was no after all, in order to keep the patrolling soldiers from making a sound, the dozen or so people did not move. After this wave of patrols passed, their own people immediately adjusted their positions. Including Wu Lao Er, everyone moved forward, they were white tights in a water, and it was extremely difficult to find in the snow.
About a quarter of an hour later, another wave of patrols came. Wu Lao Er was surprised to find that the other party did not have a secret whistle, which may be the only good news for this operation.
After a very short 'um' and 'ah' sound, this wave of patrols was settled. Immediately, ten people quickly put on the armor of the Black Jade Country soldiers, and pretended to patrol following the footprints on the snow before. There are four waves of patrols on the periphery, and there are other patrols near the tents inside, but they can't care so much about it, and they will talk about it when they can get in.
Wu Lao Er and Zhang Rang and their subordinates only put on the armor in the third wave, and it doesn't matter if the rest can't change the armor, as long as they get closer. I didn't think I could sneak in and kill people unconsciously, is it really a decoration to be a guard soldier?
"Hey, what should I do?" After a few verbal conversations with Wu Lao Er, Zhang Rang decided that Wu Lao Er had more ideas than him, so he was the first to ask questions.
In fact, Wu Lao Er has a fart idea again, after coming in, there are only ten people in a team, everyone is separated, and it can only be a team by team. The words that I had said before I came in to solve the patrol between the tents together were only a joke, and there was no walkie-talkie, so the timing was not so easy to control.
Wu Lao Er led the team to walk in the southeast corner, looked inside, and whispered: "Go inside the next corner, don't panic when you meet people, look for a chance to do it." ”
This is no way, Wu Lao Er has never seen a perfect plan since he came to this world, whether it is the enemy's or his own, even the security plan arranged by himself is full of loopholes, and now he can only take one step at a time.
"If it doesn't work, let's kill it!" Zhang Rang is not nervous, but when he can't think of an idea, he always advocates letting go!
Wu Lao Er gritted his teeth and replied, "Kill your sister!" What if the plan is broken? Even if you go back, you can't eat and walk around, even if you want to do it, wait for other groups to do it first, we can stand up! ”
Wu Lao Er pursues the golden mean that has always been practiced in my country, and I can not make meritorious contributions, but I will never do anything bad first. The credit may not be mine, but it is never me who is bad.
Zhang Rang could only be speechless with hatred when he heard Wu Lao Er say this, his footsteps stepped on the snow, and there was an abnormal "crunch" sound to express his dissatisfaction.
"Password!"
When encountering the inner circle patrol, Zhang Rang didn't care, Duan Tianbao and the others were nervous, but Wu Lao Er replied lazily: "Isn't my brother tired?" It's all this hour, isn't it okay for the big guy to relax? How could anyone else be mixed in? ”
The strange answer is that when the war is tense, it is time to get the knife out of the sheath and call the police loudly. It's a pity that there has been no war for more than half a month, and the other side may have heard countless strange answers.
"Mother, you don't look like a good bird when you walk, do you have any wine? Our brothers are freezing to death! ”
This is an older veteran, he has seen all kinds of things, and he does not have the caution of joining the army for the first time, and when he heard Wu Laoer's answer, he also thought that the other party was a soldier who liked to be lazy.
Wu Lao Er staggered towards the other party, and saw clearly, there was only one soldier patrolling the inner circle, and at the same time, he said indiscriminately: "Bird's wine, there is something else!" ”
The veterans on the opposite side also saw the faces of Wu Lao Er and the others, but they did not have doubts, the army of more than 100,000 people, patrolling different battalions every day, it is too normal for them to have people they don't know. Just listening to Wu Laoer's words, he involuntarily asked, "What else is there without wine?" ”
Walking to the other party's face-to-face standing, Wu Lao Er said with a smile: "The wine is gone, do you want to pee at 38 degrees Celsius, little brother?" ”
The veteran's face changed, and he scolded: "Fuck you, and Lao Tzu"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the dazzling light of the knife, and he passed by with a 'brush'. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his brothers being covered with their mouths covered, cutting their throats without making an extra sound.
Wu Lao Er swung his knife into the sheath, and the veteran's mouth was still scolding his unspoken swearing, but no sound came out.
"Solve it quickly, and the rest of the people are on alert!" Wu Lao Er didn't know if he was commanding correctly, but it was better to have an idea than not to have an idea.
Quickly covering up the snow of several corpses, Wu Lao Er led people to continue to push inside. Now the situation is that 10 people have to be divided into two teams, and they can be closer, but they can't be together all the time. Zhang Rang thought for a while and waved his hand, and his subordinates were divided into a group with another leader, and he was in a group with Wu Lao Er, Duan Tianbao and others. Wu Lao Er looked at him and smiled, there was no way that three of the ten people on his side were in command, although the guy named Guo Sheng was in the same profession as the two - eunuchs, but he didn't want to communicate, Zhang Rang was in the past, and he didn't know which of the two spoke dominantly, so he was willing to listen to Wu Lao Er's command.
"Brother Zhang, let's pick a hidden place to go in a while, and when the others fight, someone with identity will come out of the tent. At that time, we just have to lie in ambush on the side, and there will definitely be a praying mantis catching cicada and yellow finch behind! ”
"Brother, good idea, don't go around, if you ask for a password again, we can't do anything."
As soon as Zhang Rang finished speaking, a loud question came from the shadow of the firelight: "Password!" ”
These two words are like swallowing a bowl of ice in the cold winter, which shocked Duan Tianbao and the others in their hearts, even Zhang Rang was stunned.
Wu Lao Er walked towards the other party unhurriedly, and said in a suppressed voice as he walked: "There's something wrong, so loud!" What should I do if I scare someone in the middle of the night? ”
The other side was unmoved, and slowly shook out five figures, and the leader glared at Wu Lao Er angrily and said, "Which battalion are you from?" Didn't you hear me ask you for your password? ”
Zhang Rang and the others deliberately relaxed their nervous nerves, and Wu Lao Er said in a hurry: "Which camp do you care about Lao Tzu, do you believe that Lao Tzu said that he is from the White Jade Kingdom?" ”
The other side was stunned by Wu Laoer's words for a moment, and then said dissatisfiedly: "How do you Shangguan manage his soldiers?" I am the captain of the left battalion, Edo, whose soldier are you? ”
Wu Lao Er just wanted to make up something to close the distance, when suddenly there was a shout of killing not far outside. Everyone looked into the distance, only to see a figure slashing each other, Edo saw this and shouted: "There is a spy mixed in, go with me to kill the enemy!" ”
With that, they took the lead and ran towards the chaos. There were constantly patrolling soldiers running there, and the firelight gradually increased, and from time to time there were soldiers in the camp who came out with blurred eyes and blades in their hands, and Wu Lao Er looked at it helplessly and followed, and ran towards the place of battle with the footsteps of Edo.
There is no way, seeing the chaos, the first to rush outside are all soldiers, and it looks like this way, even if there is a general around him, he will follow the pro-soldiers, and a few people will never have a chance to start.
Wu Lao Er's teeth itched with hatred in his heart, I don't know which stupid person exposed his deeds, otherwise if he continues, maybe there will be some chances, but now he can only talk about it depending on the situation, if it doesn't work, just kill some people and run away.
When I came closer, I saw the two brothers Hai Dafu and Xiong Daxiong, as well as several other people from Dongchang, all holding weapons and constantly slashing and killing. Wu Lao Er screamed bitterly in his heart and did not do it immediately. But he didn't immediately go up to help, and now even if he does it himself, it won't help.
"I'm Captain Edo! Everybody listen to the command! Go to three teams to encircle, then go up to two teams to help, and the rest wait to guard against the assassins! ”
It turned out that the scene was really called the largest officer of the Edo buddy, and all the soldiers who patrolled or came out to see the situation listened to the command. One after another, people from the brocade guards came to help, and Edo continued to command the soldiers to go up and outflank.
Wu Lao Er ignored Zhang Rang's eyes and glanced at it secretly, at this time, the assassins from Dongchang were basically here, and even Qinglong Qin Han and several other deacons led people to join the battle group. It's a pity that there are more soldiers in the Black Jade Country, and now there are about three or four hundred people gathered, even if the Dongchang people are good, they can't have the upper hand.
Wu Lao Er scolded stupid, these people didn't take advantage of the fact that most of the people were attracted by this side to set fire to cause more riots, and they were still in the mood to come here to participate in the war, Wu Lao Er was also drunk. Seeing Edo's loud command, Wu Lao Er's evil was born from the side of his guts and slowly approached him.
At this time, Edo was looking anxiously at the battle group, he was the night captain on duty tonight, and other generals would not usually come out. There are so many assassins all of a sudden, even if you can kill the other party, I'm afraid the casualties will not be small.
When he was in a hurry, he saw Wu Lao Er leading people to his neighborhood, and scolded loudly: "Look at your mother, don't go up to help!" ”
Wu Lao Er pretended to be panicked and agreed, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and shouted, "Go!" "But with a sword of 'brushing', Edo's head was cut off, and then he commanded indiscriminately.
There was no one around Edo, and Wu Lao Er took his place at this time, shouting while everyone else was paying attention to the battle circle: "There is an enemy from the north, everyone be careful!" Go to the left of the two teams and beware of sneak attacks"
Under the indiscriminate command of Wu Lao Er, the soldiers of the Black Jade Country finally appeared in chaos. Qinglong Qin Han and others took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement, and Wu Lao Er also led people to join Qin Han and others. It's not like that, he just ran away, and took advantage of the chaos to bring out the head of the self-proclaimed Fenwei captain.
Due to the excessive damage of the Dongchang people in this mission, only Wu Lao Er killed a school captain in the end.
The person who was killed in the highest position in the Black Jade Province was named Edo, and later generations called the person who carried out the mission of the White Jade Province "Edo Forty-Eight Hands!" Later, according to the shape of each person's face, it developed into a snapping trend, and it became famous for eternity!
