Chapter 214: Throwing bricks and leading the way
Silent battles were staged in the mountains and forests, warm blood splattered on the soil, and the cold air that permeated the earth became more and more biting.
At the same time, chaos erupted everywhere in the mountains.
"What's going on?"
The Zhu family stood on the top of the mountain cliff, and within their field of vision, it seemed that the strongholds of the peasant disciples were all attacked.
For a while, the Zhu family couldn't figure out what the situation was?
"Zhong'er, what's wrong?"
Zhu Zhong, the righteous son of the Zhu family, had just returned from the front line, and his clothes were already intact with many damages.
"Father-in-law, the situation has been made clear, it was the assassin who attacked the net!"
"Nets?"
The Zhu family muttered slightly. As the most well-informed master of Shennongtang in the rivers and lakes, the Zhu family is not unaware of the affairs of Luo Wang and the great commander of the Mo family.
But at this sensitive time, the Zhu family is not sure, who is the target of the net?
"What about the nobleman?"
"Under the escort of his subordinates, he is exiting Daze Mountain and heading towards Weidi."
"Didn't you stop along the way?"
"Father, I personally watched them go away, and I didn't see the whereabouts of the Assassins along the way. What's more, my farmer's house and the Xiang family have already been arranged, and there are heavy soldiers on the nobleman's retreat. Now the noble man is about to make peace with the armor he has arranged at the foot of the mountain. β
Zhu Zhong told the Zhu family about the situation he had gotten, but the other party looked solemn.
"It's strange, what is the reason for such a big commotion?"
Things were a little weird, beyond the expectations of the Zhu family, he turned around and looked at the righteous son he valued the most.
"What about the Great Commander of the Mo Family?"
"He... I didn't receive any movement from the Mo family, and I don't seem to have left. β
Luo Wang attacked Daze Mountain, the situation was chaotic for a while, and the Zhu family put all their attention on escorting Chu Gongzi and Xiang Liang to retreat safely, and did not pay much attention to Zhao Shuang's side.
Now that they are free, the Zhu family waved their hands.
"Come with me!"
When the Zhu family found Zhao Shuang, the other party was holding a fishing rod and sitting by the river fishing. The boy and woman he had brought with him were standing beside him, a little nervous.
"I said, brother, when has this been, why are you still in the mood to fish here?"
"It's up to you, after all, this is the farmer's territory, and it's not easy for me to interfere!"
In this winter, there is no trace of fish activity in the water. As a master of fishing, the Zhu family can naturally see that this season is not suitable for fishing. It's just that he doesn't understand, what does the Great Commander of the Mo Family want to do?
"What is the reason for such a big disturbance in this mountain?"
The Zhu family had no choice but to press their temperament, and also took a fishing rod, sat next to Zhao Shuang, and accompanied him to fish.
"What else will be there in this mountain? No, it's for you, brother! β
Zhao Shuang's joke, when the Zhu family hears it now, they can't laugh at all.
Zhu Zhong stood behind the Zhu family and glanced at the two people behind Zhao Shuang, who stayed on the woman for a few seconds, and quickly retracted their gaze.
"Brother, you mean they are here for the sake of your nobles?"
"But this is not right, there are hundreds of peasant disciples in this Daze Mountain, and the noble man has three hundred armor soldiers and a large number of masters beside him. The strength in the hands of Luo Wang is not enough! β
As the hall masters of the younger generation of the six halls of the farmer's family, between the Zhu family, Tian Meng, and Chen Sheng, if it is said that the level of force is to be discussed, then it may be difficult to have a unified conclusion.
It's not a life-and-death fight, it's usually a point-and-death fight, and it's not a farmer's disciple who can't reach that moment.
But if you want to say who is the most well-informed in the rivers and lakes, it is none other than the Zhu family.
Before he received this errand, he had already spread his ears and ears and arranged it in Dongjun to supervise the changes in the situation of the nations, the hundred schools of thought, and the forces of the rivers and lakes here.
Luo Wang wants to mobilize so many people to encircle and suppress Dazeshan, how can he hide it from the Zhu family?
"Indeed, what Ke Luowang is best at is not siege, but assassination."
Siege and assassination, the difference between one word, but the way of action is very different. The Nets were an Assassin regiment, not an army. What's more, in the large-scale matchup, the net does not have an advantage.
Buying internal responses, lurking, poisoning, and assassination are their means of action.
It is most cost-effective to use a small amount of resources and the lowest cost to achieve the goal.
Except for a few characters who Luo Wang felt very tricky and had to be eliminated, generally speaking, Luo Wang would not send a large-scale assassin group to force it.
"Really?"
The Zhu family was alerted by Zhao Shuang's words and reacted.
"Zhong'er, let's go away... No, it's too late to send a message now, so immediately bring someone with your father to protect your safety. β
The Zhu family hurriedly stood up, threw down the fishing rod in his hand, and rushed out. Zhu Zhong followed behind him, a little puzzled, and asked softly.
"Father-in-law, the nobles of the Chu State are out of Daze Mountain, and they are not within the scope of our protection. Even if he was assassinated by the net, it has nothing to do with us, why are you in such a hurry? β
"Zhong'er, why are you so confused? If Luo Wang just wants to assassinate, why choose this place at this time? β
Zhu Zhong's face changed slightly, and he seemed to understand.
Indeed, if you only want to assassinate, you don't have to pick this time, this place, in such a way.
Nearby are the disciples of the peasant family, and the prince of Chu also has a large number of guards, even if he succeeds in the end, he must spend a lot of strength.
What's more, it may not be able to succeed, doing such a thankless job, obviously, the purpose of the net is not only the noble man of the Chu State.
Dealing with the nobles of the Chu State near this Daze Mountain is clearly to spy on deeper secrets, and even involve the peasant family and the Mo family.
So as to deal with the people behind the peasant family and the Mo family.
"Just in case, call the elders of Shennongtang who are good at herbal medicine, and bring some herbs and pills to treat knife wounds and poisonous wounds."
"I see!"
After the Zhu family finished ordering, he was suddenly stunned, and looked back at the Mo family commander who was still fishing by the river in the distance.
It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that behind the commander of the Mo family is Hanyangjun of the Qin State. The disputes within the Qin State, the Zhu family also heard a little.
The forces of LΓΌ Buwei's faction severely suppressed Changpingjun, and Hanyangjun had a close relationship with Changpingjun. Otherwise, the Zhu family would not have tested the commander of the Mo family a few days ago and joined forces to deal with Luo Net.
But now, the Zhu family knows that once that noble of the Chu State is caught in the net, what will be involved behind it?
At least, Xia Kui's sudden order to facilitate this meeting is more or less the shadow of Changping Jun behind this.
Once this handle is caught in the net, what impact will it eventually have on the power struggle within the Qin State?
Changping-jun and Hanyang-jun are also difficult to dissociate.
But now, as if the great commander of the Mo family didn't care at all, the Zhu family couldn't help but wonder in their hearts.
Could it be that the rumors are wrong, or is there something else involved?
The Zhu family didn't have time to study the depths in detail, so they hurriedly ran out and went to the road where the prince of Chu retreated.
By the river, seeing the hurried figure of the Zhu family, the woman couldn't help but smile.
"What is it that makes the master of the farmhouse look like this?"
The woman was in Dongyue and did not know much about the situation in the Central Plains and even the Qin State. Because of this, she couldn't understand the eagerness in the Zhu family's heart at all, but felt that the other party was in a hurry, which was very interesting.
"Naturally, it's something to be anxious about."
Zhao Shuang had never moved a fishing rod in his hand, and a gust of wind blew, setting off a burst of dead branches and leaves. Just as the sun was setting, there was a sudden movement on the water.
The woman's complexion changed, she stopped Ouyang Zhu behind her, raised her hand, and waved it gently.
A needle-like scale crossed Zhao Shuang's neck, and with a rustling sound, it sank into the water.
As a burst of bubbles rushed up, a bloody color rippled above the water, spreading out.
The woman's eyes narrowed, staring at the movement under the water. Under the surging water, there seems to be a fierce beast lurking, so that the woman does not dare to underestimate it.
The murderous aura spread inexplicably, the pupils of the woman's eyes narrowed, the whites of the eyes diffused with a little golden luster, and the fine scales grew up rapidly, quickly covering the small half of the white and tender neck.
Several spike-like spikes flew out of the water and shot towards Zhao Shuang. The speed of the spurs is very fast, a few points faster than the feather arrows, which shows the ability of the assassin.
It's just that when these few prisms approached Zhao Shuang, an arc-shaped barrier collided with these prisms, and after holding each other for a while, these prisms lost their strength and fell to the ground.
The woman was a little surprised, the cultivation of this Mo family commander. However, she was not surprised for a long time and jumped into the water.
The body is delicate, like a fish, submerged in the water, setting off a little waves.
Ouyang Zhu was a little nervous, his hand trembled slightly, he pulled out his sword, turned his back to Zhao Shuang, looking for possible enemies, and sweat dripped from his face.
Just under the woman's submergence, the rushing river soon formed a wave.
Strings of bubbles bubble up, very rhythmic.
No one knew what was going on beneath the water's surface, only that when the woman came ashore again, the blood that had spread on the surface of the river had been washed away by the river and disappeared cleanly.
The river soaked her clothes and hair, and the woman was no longer the tightly wrapped dress, but a body of soft armor underneath, and her bare skin was tattooed with strange patterns that were incomprehensible.
The appearance of the merman slowly faded, the internal force of the whole body worked, and the water stains on the body receded.
"Are you a merman?"
With a slight doubt, the polite man came slowly. It's just that the fierce sword in his hand doesn't match his temperament at all.
Behind the man, there were more than twenty assassins who had caught the net.
"Chaos?"
The woman looked at the long sword in the man's hand and recognized it at a glance.
"You recognize?"
"I'm more familiar with this sword than you are."
There was a hint of resentment in the woman's eyes. The eight swords of King Yue, including this chaotic god, are all the hidden swords of King Yue Goujian. With the demise of the Yue Kingdom, a large number of sword weapons of the Yue Kingdom flowed into the Central Plains countries.
"It's me Meng Lang."
The chaotic god smiled, looked at the strange blade of the long sword in his hand, and waved it lightly. The sword aura was fierce, with a withering and killing aura, and the place and the earth passed, a touch of green withered in an instant.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be a leader of the mermaid clan of the Dongyue Kingdom, Tanyin!"
Tan Yin didn't expect that in the Central Plains, someone could see her identity at a glance. With such knowledge, how could he be willing to be a killer?
"Who is Your Excellency?"
"In the past, the first swordsman of the Jixia School Palace, what you just killed should be the people and horses he brought out from the Jixia School Palace. What they used was the sharpest assassination method for the dead soldiers, the drizzle sting. β
"The commander of the Mo family is very knowledgeable."
The praise of the chaotic gods is not polite. He had just been hiding on his side, not daring to show his face, until he came out after the assassination attempt under the water failed.
"The first swordsman of the Jixia School Palace, why did he betray the Qi Kingdom and accept the position of the God of Chaos?"
"Collecting the net is a place worth staying, because here, you can kill as much as you want, without facing a lot of rules and harsh criticism, and the strange eyes of your companions."
Lu Zhou's words made Tan Yin feel a little strange. Slaughter? That's it.
"In the land of Qilu, the place of Confucian education, there will be people like you, is this the so-called extreme of things must be opposed?"
Zhao Shuang's slightly smiling voice came, which made Chaoshen a little concerned, and frowned slightly.
"Benevolence, righteousness, honesty and shame, the virtues that these Confucian scholars praise keep and again, and their ears are calloused every day. Man is a beast, so why should he obey this? β
"If it is really useful, it is not the Qin State that dominates the world now, but the Lu State that has long perished."
Instead of apologies for his betrayal, the chaotic gods were a little happy.
"One day, I realized that continuing to stay in a boring place like the Jixia School Palace would only delay the rest of my life. So, I took the initiative to contact Luo Wang and passed their test. β
Tan Yin looked at the man in front of him, a little surprised. It's hard to imagine that the man with a crazy look at this moment and the man who has just been elegant will be the same person.
The chaotic god raised his sword in his hand and smiled.
"Speaking of which, I also want to thank you, the Great Commander of the Mo Family. If you hadn't killed the previous Chaos God and made Luo Wang feel such pressure, I wouldn't have been able to take charge of this Chaos God so smoothly. β
"Since I let you take charge of this chaotic god, how can you thank me?"
From beginning to end, Zhao Shuang did not turn back. But the chaotic god did not doubt that this was the true body of the great commander of the Mo family.
"It's not you who is the target this time, if the Grand Commander is willing to fish like this, I will have to do it. The goal of the net is to defeat the prince of Chu State. β
Zhao Shuang's reaction made Chaoshen a little disappointed. Chaoshen originally thought that when he said this name, the Mo family commander would at least have some interesting actions, but who knows, he was still sitting there, and the fishing rod in his hand did not move.
This time, Luo Wang wanted to open the key to the internal strife of the Qin State by seizing the negative and making the situation chaotic.
The chaotic god didn't think that the Mo family would understand the weight of it. But his current appearance is too calm, and there is something wrong with his calmness.
"Are you too lazy to do it, or are you afraid to do it?"
Zhao Shuang smiled lightly, the meaning contained in this laughter, under the increasingly dazzling sunlight in this winter dusk, made Chaoshen's heart messy.
