Chapter 61: Forty to a Thousand? Relaxed!
"Your Excellency...... Do you really trust those Dongling Assassins like that? β
When Chen Bei, Fei Guo, Xiao Li, and the Dongling Assassins left the Great Prison Temple and went to the village of the Weilou Assassins more than 100 miles east of the capital of Hebei to rescue the hostages, Zhou Yi, the Prison Commander of the Great Prison Temple, looked at Xie An who was standing at the window watching the sky with a hesitant expression.
The sky outside is getting darker and darker, it was originally a rainy day, but now at dusk, the sky is even more gloomy and unsettling.
Let's hope we can catch up......
Sighing secretly in his heart, Xie An turned around and said with a smile, "Zhao'an Dongling Assassin...... Wasn't it Brother Zhou's idea? Why is it that in the end, Brother Zhou is not confident? β
Zhou Yi shook his head with a smile, and said with a look of shame, "Actually, that's what I said about humiliation, I don't want adults to really listen to the advice of humiliation...... My lord, do you really want those four people to be the cell leaders in my Great Prison Temple? β
"Isn't it good?" Walking to the table and pouring himself a cup of tea, Xie An said softly, "Brother Zhou didn't say that there are too many fierce criminals in my big prison temple, and there are many stubborn people among them, who frequently make trouble, ordinary jailers dare not provoke, so they have to let it go...... Fight the evil with the fierce, stop the violence with the violence! β
Zhou Yi was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled with relief, "That's good...... It's just that I am afraid that those people will ignore the good intentions of adults, and I am afraid that they will not necessarily come back when they get out of trouble this time...... I think that the adults should probably leave a few people as hostages......"
"Not necessarily!" Xie An shook his head and said lightly, "The boss of the Dongling Assassins, Di Bu, is extraordinary, but he doesn't seem to have many cities, but he is among the four. [Shadow Snake] Gou Gong and [Wealth Ghost] Qian Xi, these two are smart people...... They should know that now that they have been abandoned by the fifth prince Li Cheng, if they offend their own officials again, looking at the size of my Great Zhou, there will be no place for him to be a Dongling assassin...... Besides, if there is a better choice, who wants to be a thief for the rest of their lives? -- As for the hostages...... Since we want to recruit these people, we must at least show some sincerity. Isn't it? β
Zhou Yi suddenly realized when he heard this, and said with a smile, "My lord! β
At the same time, the Dongling Assassins totaled forty-three people, and they were under the leadership of their leader, Hongshan Siyin Dao. Following Chen Bei, Fei Guo, and Xiao Li, they rode to the village established by the Jinling Weilou Assassins.
Obviously, he was caught and became a death row prisoner in the Great Prison Temple, and his future life and death were uncertain, but two or three days later, he was inexplicably released, which made the forty or so Dongling assassins confused.
"Big brother, are you still thinking about Fang Cai?" During the gallop on horseback. Seeing that Dibu was silent, [Shadow Snake] Gou Gong asked tentatively.
In fact, to be honest, Di Bu just cared a lot about the man named Chen Bei, after all, in his opinion. This man named Chen Bei, martial arts are above everyone here, and a man with such momentum has never been met in Di Bu's life.
But Gou Gong asked. But it also aroused the question in Dibu's heart.
"Second child, you really think. Will Xie An tell me to be the cell head of the Great Prison Temple? β
When Gou Gong heard this, he habitually smiled and said in a low voice, "He also said it himself, he even pardoned the 100,000 rebels who committed treason, what is the matter with my brothers?" According to the younger brother's meaning, now that the Great Zhou is at the time of the change of thrones, all forces are in a hurry to recruit troops, and this is the best time to rely on the big tree...... Although Xie An's official position is not high, his power in Jijing is not small, and if he can lean on this big tree, my brothers and I don't need to be as bitter as before......
"Exactly!" Before Gou Gong finished speaking, Qian Xi, who was not far away from him, nodded again and again and said, "That Lord Xie is a very good person, big brother, what else is there to worry about?" β
Di Bu still didn't say a word, and Gou Gong scolded angrily, "Fourth, you shut up for me!" - Five thousand five hundred taels of silver, and they bought you? ββI remember that at the beginning, you also praised Li Cheng's miscellaneous, right? β
"Uh, this ......" Qian Xi shrank his head, closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Glancing at Qian Xi angrily, Gou Gong shook his head, and then said in a low voice, "The fourth brother's words can be regarded as not heard, but ...... According to the younger brother, Xie An is indeed more credible than Li Cheng's miscellaneous ...... Without saying a word, he released more than 40 of my brothers and other brothers, how bold is it? -- That's the kind of person who does great things! β
"Hmm......" Di Bu nodded in confidence, and then his eyes fell on Chen Bei in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "That man...... Do you know the details? β
"That...... Chen Bei? Glancing at Chen Bei along Di Bu's line of sight, Gou Gong shook his head, frowned and said, "I don't know...... But looking at Xie An's attitude, he seems to trust this person quite a bit, what's wrong, big brother? β
Di Bu looked at Chen Fei who was not far away and did not speak, and Mo Fei beside him said in a hoarse voice, "This man is very powerful!" β
Di Bu's eyebrows trembled slightly when he heard this, and he whispered, "The third child also noticed?" β
Mo Fei nodded, lowered his voice and said, "Even more powerful than the woman who easily defeated the eldest brother!" β
At this moment, Chen Bei, who was riding a horse in front, turned his head and glanced at Di Bu and the other four, obviously with an indifferent gaze, but for some reason Di Bu and the other four people jumped.
"What's the matter, Chen...... Hmm, Brother Chen? It seemed that he had noticed Chen Bei's strange appearance, and Xiao Li, the assassin of the dangerous building, asked curiously.
"No, it's nothing......" Chen Bei shook his head.
As a person who practices martial arts, Chen Bei's ears are not bad, and when Di Bu and others talk about Xie An, he also listens to it, because he sees that they don't mean to harm Xie An, so Chen Bei doesn't bother to interfere, and at this time, he suddenly heard Di Bu and others talking about Liang Qiu Wu, and heard that Di Bu was easily defeated by his cousin Liang Qiu Wu, Chen Bei subconsciously glanced back at Di Bu, and felt puzzled in his heart.
Odd......
This guy called Dibu is not weak, how could he easily lose in the hands of his cousin?
Could it be that my cousin's strength is not as I know it?
It's no wonder that Chen Bei wondered in his heart, after all, in fact, when he fought him in Liangqiu Dance under Chang'an City, he was in a hurry to travel day and night for days. Liang Qiuwu's strength was greatly reduced, and because of this, Chen Bei misestimated the strength of his cousin.
Thinking of this, Chen Bei was secretly glad that he had endured not to see Liang Qiuwu, the only cousin in the clan, not that he was afraid of the latter, but he knew that once the two met, a lot of things would happen that he didn't want to see.
After all, Liang Qiu Gong and Xie An have told him one after another that Liang Qiu Dance is not as enlightened as Liang Qiu Gong. She couldn't tolerate that her cousin was the leader of the Taiping Army, after all, there were a lot of blood debts between the Liangqiu family and the Taiping Army.
I don't know how long it took, when it was dark, Xiao Li, who was leading the way in front, suddenly reined in the horse's reins. Raise your hand to signal the person behind you to stop.
I have to say that this group of people is not the Eastern Army after all, and they do not have the superb riding skills of the soldiers of the Eastern Army, and some of them almost fell off their horses due to inertia.
"What's going on?" [Shadow Snake] Gou Gong rode his horse closer to Xiao Li with a black face, his tone was not so kind, first, Xiao Li's sudden order. almost caused him to fall off his horse, and secondly, the relationship between the Dongling Assassin and the Dangerous Building Assassin was not so friendly.
Looking at the displeased look on Gou Gong's face. Xiao Li frowned slightly, to be honest, he didn't know how to face these former enemies, he thought about it. Pointing to the mountains and forests in the distance, he said. "At the foot of the mountain, there is the village that the eldest sister told us to build, about five miles away, in order to avoid being detected by the more than 1,000 elite soldiers, we have to dismount here and walk......
Seeing that Xiao Li didn't mean to make a fool of himself, Gou Gong's face looked much better, turned over, looked at the hazy night scene five miles away, frowned and said, "There are more than a thousand elite soldiers guarding it?" β
Xiao Li nodded and said, "Just more, no less!" -- These soldiers and horses are the elite divisions of Gyeonggi under the command of Prince Li Wei, they are fully armed and equipped, and everyone is equipped with crossbows, so don't take them lightly! β
"Prince Li Wei's subordinates?" As if thinking of the hatred of being abandoned as a scapegoat by the crown prince Li Wei, Gou Gong licked his lips, his eyes showed a bit of cruelty, and he smiled sneeringly, "It's just time to put out the fire for Uncle Ben!" β
Xiao Li frowned when he heard this, and said unhappily, "Gou Gong, this time it is to rescue more than 30 brothers and hundreds of orphans in my dangerous building in the village, not to fight!" β
Seeing that Xiao Li dared to speak to himself like this, Gou Gong's eyes showed a little anger, and he said coldly, "What kind of thing are you?" ββ The defeated generals dare to talk to Uncle Ben like this? β
"You!"
"What do you want?"
Di Bu, who was staring at Chen Bei, obviously also heard the quarrel between Gou Gong and Xiao Li, and subconsciously turned his head to glance at it, but when he turned his gaze back to Chen Bei, he was shocked to find that Chen Bei, who was obviously still sitting on the horse, had disappeared at some point.
At the same time, Xiao Li and Gou Gong, who were staring at each other, suddenly saw a pair of hands stretched out next to them, one in one hand, pushing the two of them away.
"Shut up! - You're all Assassins, and you're still arguing under the noses of your enemies? Outrageous! β
There is no doubt that it was Chen Bei who spoke.
This guy ......
When did you come over?
Glancing at Chen Bei's substitute horse, which was three or two feet away from the two of them, Gou Gong's eyes showed a little horror.
Looking at the expressions of the rest of the people, they also looked like ghosts.
You must know that none of the people here are ordinary people, they are all assassins who are good at assassination, they are deaf and clear-sighted, and they are quite vigilant, but despite this, no one has noticed how Chen Bei came to Gou Gong and Xiao Li's side.
What does it mean to be touched by someone who doesn't know it? This means that if Chen Bei wanted to kill Gou Gong and Xiao Li, these two would have already died!
This man ......
Swallowing his saliva, Gou Gong's forehead couldn't help but ooze layers of sweat, and it was rare that he didn't quarrel with Xiao Li again.
And not far from him, Di Bu stared at Chen Bei deadly, his eyes full of puzzlement and horror.
What's going on?
I obviously kept staring at this man, but I just glanced at it because of the quarrel between the second brother and Na Xiao Li, and it was only one or two breaths, in such a short time
In the room, this man named Chen Bei actually came to the two of them?
That Xie An's side, there is such a peerless and rare master?
As if sensing Di Bu's strange gaze, Chen Bei turned his head and glanced at it lightly, at that moment, Di Bu seemed to feel an extremely strong pressure enveloping his heart, and subconsciously wanted to look away. But the warrior's self-esteem did not allow him to do so.
Under the strange gaze of the rest of the people, Chen Bei and Di Bu looked at each other for more than a dozen breaths, and then, Chen Bei suddenly smiled faintly, then turned his head to look at the outline of the village in the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Fei Guo, you come to command!" β
Fei Guo's heart sank when he heard this, he didn't know if Chen Bei was testing him. Hugging his fists, Masase said, "Yes!" -- In that case, I will be bold! β
Venture?
What do you mean?
Everyone present didn't understand the deep meaning of Fei Guo's words, after all, who would have thought of it. Fei Guo could be Chen Bei's subordinate, one of the six generals of the Taiping Army?
After a small episode, a group of more than 40 people quietly touched the village that Xiao Li said.
Sure enough, as Xiao Li said, the entire village was like a fortress, full of sentries and guards. I saw that the guards were all wearing chain mail, holding iron spears, swords around their waists, and a crossbow hanging from their waists. It's even more thorough than the regular army of Da Zhou.
Crouching under a tree outside the village, Fei Guo turned his head to the people behind him and said, "Please Chen...... Hmm, Chen Ye will deal with the guards near this gate first...... That's right. In Dongling, can there be people who are good at stealing? β
As soon as the words fell. More than forty Dongling Assassins looked at [Scythe] Mo Fei in unison.
Seeing this, Fei Guo said in a low voice, "Mo Fei, you and Chen Ye will act together later, with Chen Ye as the main and you as the auxiliary, Hugh will let those guards shout!" β
Hearing this, whether it was Xiao Li or the Dongling Assassin, their expressions were a little strange.
Isn't this guy Xie An's general?
But this is an assassin like himself......
Could it be that this person was also an Assassin?
While everyone was secretly puzzled, Mo Fei pulled the black cloth covering his face and nodded.
Seeing this, Fei Guo waved his right hand and said in a deep voice, "Prepare...... Wait for the opportunity to act! β
Since the people here were all assassins who were proficient in this way, Fei Guo didn't explain too much, after all, what it meant to wait for an opportunity to act was too clear for these assassins.
About thirty breaths later, when he noticed that the two guards on the sentry turned their heads to monitor other directions, Chen Bei rushed out, as vigorous as a leopard.
Although Mo Fei also noticed the movements of the two guards, his reaction was a little slower than Chen Bei's, so that in terms of the speed of his shot, Mo Fei was a few streets behind Chen Bei......
And what happened next made the Dongling assassins even more dumbfounded, only to see Chen Bei quickly approaching the wooden fence wall of the village, clinging to the root of the wall, and quickly touching towards the entrance of the village.
Entrance to the village...... There are four guards!
The Dongling assassins, especially Di Bu and Gou Gong, stared at Chen Bei deadly, as if they wanted to see what this man was capable of.
At this time, Chen Bei had already touched the dark place less than a foot away from the four guards, quietly touched the back of one of the guards, and then stabbed him fiercely at the mouth of his vest.
In this way, Chen Bei's whereabouts had been exposed, however, just as the other three guards turned their heads, they saw Chen Bei pull forward and punch one of them in the chest with his left hand, but saw that the guard was shocked and fell softly.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Bei kicked his legs, covered the mouth and nose of another guard with one hand, and cut his throat in the process of turning in a circle, and then, with his backhand, he waved the dagger in his hand, hitting the mouth of the last guard, penetrating the skull, making it difficult for the last person to shout.
When Mo Fei arrived, Chen Bei gently held the two corpses with both hands and slowly placed them on the ground, without making any sound from beginning to end.
"Good...... It's amazing......" The Dongling assassins who were watching from a distance were all shocked and speechless.
Eliminated the four guards in an instant, and told the other party that he didn't even have a chance to call for help, this guy is even stronger than Jin Ling'er!
For some reason, Gou Gong only felt a chill on his back.
Compared to Gou Gong, [sickle] Mo Fei's eyes are even more strange, think about it, he Mo Fei is also the most proficient assassin among the Dongling assassins, but in front of this man named Chen Bei, he didn't even have a chance to make a move, and watched Chen Fei eliminate the four guards.
And at this moment, Mo Fei suddenly saw Chen Fei take a horse step, put his palms together, and raised his head to signal the sentry above the heads of the two.
Do you want to solve the above two?
Mo Fei understood in his heart, ran two steps, and stepped on Chen Bei's palms with his right foot, only to see Chen Bei's palms raised. Mo Fei flew more than two feet in the air, climbed the railing of the sentry with one hand, and easily flipped into the sentry and killed the two guards inside.
Seeing this, Xiao Li, who was watching from a distance, and a group of Dongling assassins let out a long sigh of relief.
The difference is that Xiao Li was relieved because Chen Bei and Mo Fei killed the six guards without alarming the rest of the guards in the village, as for the Dongling assassins. Obviously, he felt a little inexplicably relieved that the two guards in the sentry were killed by Mo Fei, after all, Chen Bei's exquisite technique of assassinating those four guards really brought great pressure to these Dongling assassins.
If the above two guards were also killed by Chen Bei, Mo Fei would have nothing to do from beginning to end. If this spreads, the Shandong Hongshan Dongling assassins will become a laughing stock among the assassins of the Great Zhou.
Just kidding, a little-known guy is even more proficient at assassination than their Dongling assassins?
Looking at the strange expression on the face of the Dongling assassin, Fei Guo secretly felt amused in his heart.
Chen Shuai's ability, how can you imagine it?
If it weren't for the fact that the other party had a hostage in hand this time. Chen Shuai alone can kill more than a thousand elite soldiers in the village, why do you need to wait?
Shaking his head amusedly, Fei Guo noticed that Mo Fei on the sentry had lowered a rope. He lowered his voice and said to the people behind him, "It's time for me to wait!" - Xiao Li, do you know where your brothers are being held? β
Xiao Li nodded.
Seeing this, Fei Guo said in a low voice. "Xiao Li, Qian Xi. You and ten others will be responsible for rescuing the detainees, and the rest will ...... Kill all the guards in the village, and remember, don't make a noise! - Understood? β
Xiao Li, Gou Gong and the other Dongling assassins nodded.
"Up!"
With a heavy shout, more than forty black-clad assassins rushed out of the woods and quickly tumbled into the wooden walls of the village along the ropes that Mo Fei had lowered.
Some people may wonder, why didn't Mo Fei open the gate of the village and let this cadre in?
The reason is simple, the wooden gate of the village is quite heavy, and when opened, there is a loud creaking sound, which obviously alarms the village guards.
I have to admit that the Dongling Assassins are indeed quite experienced masters of the Dao, and they couldn't see it when they faced the Dangerous Building Assassins at the beginning, but this time against those guards in this village, it was like a tiger entering the flock.
Including Chen Bei, Fei Guo, and Xiao Li, these only more than 40 people killed more than 200 village guards in less than half an hour, and what is even more unbelievable is that the rest of the elite soldiers, even unaware that this group of life-seeking Yamas had come to the village, were still sleeping in the village house, but they didn't know that there was blood all over the ground outside the door.
"That's too easy, isn't it? - What a good soldier, but that's it! Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Gou Gong said with a surprised expression.
"It's not all about us......" Dieb said with a blank face.
Gou Gong was silent, in fact, he also knew that the thorny problems in this operation had been killed by the man named Chen Bei one step in advance, and Mo Fei, who was the best at assassination among the Dongling assassins, could only follow behind Chen Bei, let alone them.
After a short time, Chen Bei and Mo Fei came back, only to see that Mo Fei's black clothes were covered with the blood of those guards, and his actions were not as agile as at the beginning.
"It's all settled?" Di Bu asked Mo Feidao.
Mo Fei nodded, and said in a hoarse voice, "More than two hundred people, me, forty-two ......"
Di Bu and Gou Gong were moved when they heard this, after all, Mo Fei was saying that during the period when he and Chen Bei acted together, he only killed forty-two of them, and the remaining more than 100 people were all killed by Chen Bei......
Mo Fei, the famous murderous ghost scythe among the Dongling assassins, was completely defeated this time, to someone he had never heard of......
Although he was very unwilling to be defeated, but since Chen Bei had taken it back, Mo Fei had no choice but to stop there, after all, although he was an assassin, he also had his self-esteem, how could he be cheeky enough to kill those guards who were still sleeping?
Maybe noticing Mo Fei's frustrated mood, Chen Bei rarely patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said with a light smile, "Your name is Mo Fei, right?" Not bad! ββThose who can keep up with Chen's speed, except for that Jin Ling'er, Chen has never encountered a few ......"
"Jin Ling'er?" Mo Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Chen Ye fought with that woman?" β
Chen Bei smiled faintly when he heard this, and said unabashedly, "Yes, I fought once, and I almost died in her hands......" As he spoke, he was stunned, frowning and looking at Qian Xi, who was squatting on the ground and groping for the corpse in the distance, and asked with a strange expression, "Are you waiting for that brother...... What to do? β
Suddenly, Di Bu and Gou Gong, who were asked by Chen Bei, were red-faced, stammering and unable to say a word, and even Mo Fei turned his gaze away in embarrassment.
I saw that in the distance, [Fortune Ghost] Qian Xi snickered, humming an unseemly song, while searching for money and valuable things from the corpse of the guard, and putting it into the huge cloth bag around his waist......
Maybe the Dongling assassins didn't think anything about it before, but now that they were asked by Chen Bei, an unfathomable master, the Dongling assassins only felt that their faces were dull and they felt embarrassed.
