52. Assassin

Originally, I felt that things were a little strange, since he was the one who chose An Lushan, why did he send him to his ghostly mansion?

I was really curious, so I quietly touched it. It was a big, spacious room. The soldiers I brought with me were lined up at one end of the room. On the other side, a few dumb sticks were taking leeches out of a wet box and placing them on a large black pig one by one.

At first, I was just surprised, I had never seen such a big black pig, much bigger than an adult scalper, and Bai Sensen's fangs were more like two long steel knives in the dim room, which was very scary.

Later, a few magic sticks took down the leech that had sucked the blood. Guess what? The big black pig slowly shrunk, and after a while it actually stood up, my mother, and when I saw it clearly, I realized that it was Li Zhu'er.

It was so weird, I was terrified. I could see that the men I sent were also frightened, and as they writhed one by one, I found that they had already been tied to a stake.

In fact, Li Zhu'er was already very fat, and I wondered if I was dazzled, because the atmosphere there was so weird that I hallucinated. But what happened next was even more terrifying and weird.

Li Zhu'er first scooped a few scoops of water in a big water man, washed his body, wiped it clean, changed into clean clothes, and then walked to the tied soldier with a smile.

He had been smiling, but when he remembered his smiling face, he had to be like King Yama.

He made a few gestures, and those magic sticks brought a few jars of wine, opened the mud seal, and there was an intoxicating aroma of wine, which was indeed good wine, and he was a little drunk just by smelling it.

Li Zhu'er smiled and untied the arms of those people and handed them the wine jar.

It seemed that those people were also frightened, and took the wine jar stupidly, and when Li Zhu'er nodded, he leaned his neck and drank wildly. The largest one drank five jars of wine.

When they were drunk and unconscious, Li Zhu'er took out a packet of medicine from his arms and fed each of them a pill, which was different from the original pill, red and fragrant.

At the same time, those magic sticks put the leeches that had been full of blood on the necks of those people one by one and bit into the blood vessels.

Li Zhu'er used a silver needle to prick the backs of those swollen leeches, and those leeches began to slowly deflat, I heard an old medical officer say that someone knows how to use leeches to help people with anemia or wounded on the battlefield to transfuse blood.

That's how he used to give his pig's blood to the soldiers.

And then—

And then—

Then I heard a crunching crunch, I guess the sound of the joints being misaligned, and of course the wails of pain. For I saw, and saw that the mouths of those men began to crack, and the fangs of Bai Sensen, which were longer than their fingers, came out, and their heads grew bigger and bigger.

The low wail soon turned into a miserable roar. The figures began to grow fat and clumsy, and the ropes that bound them were finger-thick, and they were broken.

I was so scared that I couldn't remember how much time it took. The soldiers were all turned into wild boars the size of calves, with white fangs and blood-red eyes.

It's just that after some soldiers turned into wild boars, they died not long after, and the deformed bones pierced out of their bodies, and their bodies were full of bloody holes.

The wild boars that survived screamed in pain for a while, and soon became frenzied, rushing madly and eating their dead companions.

I was so scared, maybe I was a coward by nature, I was so scared that I couldn't speak, my neck, my hands and feet were frozen there, and my whole body seemed to be clenched by a big hand.

Li Zhu'er kept smiling, as if she was very satisfied with her masterpiece.

I didn't dare to see the end, I moved my body with difficulty, and returned to the thatched house, and finally couldn't help but vomit, and I vomited for a long time. I hid in the toilet, and to be honest, I was actually slumped in the toilet, and I was just slumped there all along.

Luckily for me, maybe the house was too big, so no one went to the toilet. It wasn't until late in the evening that I listened to the silence around me that I dared to come out quietly. I didn't dare to go through the main entrance, so I climbed over the wall and came out. ”

Zhang Jilin spoke very slowly and hard, as if it took a lot of effort to say every word. His face was pale, sweat continued to flow down and into his neck, the clothes on his chest were wet, his fingers kept twitching, and when he raised his hand, people could clearly see that the leg armor covered by his palm was full of sweat.

The cold wind was bleak, and in the camp tent, which was not too warm, the man was sweating profusely, and he was almost dehydrated and fainting.

Zhang Jilin stopped, and everyone could hear it, and it took a long time for everyone to realize that he had finished telling his story.

"Water, water, General Zhang hurry up and drink some water. ”

Li Yu woke up, waved his hand and ordered someone to bring a large bowl of warm tea and handed it to Zhang Jilin.

Zhang Jilin tried his best to control himself, slowly drank a large bowl of tea, and waved his hand to ask for another bowl.

He let out a sigh of relief, as if he had lifted the weight of a thousand pounds.

"This matter has been pressing on my heart for a long time, and I dare not tell my eldest brother, let alone my sister. But since then, I have unconsciously begun to pay attention to the affairs of the Barbarian Pig Iron Guard. I guess, the big wild boar that ambushed King Guangping and ran away was Li Zhu'er. ”

"Barbarian Pig Iron Guard, today is the first time I've heard of it, these people have never encountered them on the frontal battlefield, what do they have to do with the defense of the city?" asked Guo Ziyi.

"The Barbarian Pig Iron Guard itself is a relatively secretive existence, only some high-ranking generals have more or less heard of this guard, and there are probably even fewer who really know the secrets of this guard. Turning people into pigs to fight is somewhat not so glorious, and some people will die tragically when they turn into pigs, so they dare not let them participate in frontal battles in a grand manner.

In fact, long before An Lushan rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, he had heard that this guard was more than 300 people, and at that time they were only An Lushan's personal guards. Later, Chang'an was lost, An Lushan changed his mind and began to re-dispatch those barbarian pig guards in some missions, and the ambush of King Guangping should be regarded as the first military mission.

After retreating to Luoyang, the whole city was surrounded by **, not only the giants in the city, but even some officers and soldiers began to defect to **, especially those rangers, the general soldiers could not stop them, so they began to station barbarian pig iron guards in each lane to prevent escape, some kung fu rangers, met the barbarian pig iron guard and died very miserably.

In fact, it is also to prevent the assassins raised by various families, in case they go out to cooperate with the enemy, and even more to prevent the ** outside the city from sending assassins to the city to listen to the news. ”

"How many Pig Guards are there in the city now?"

"More than 1,500 people, these people only listen to Li Zhu'er's dispatch, half a month ago he was in a hurry to pass the army, and happened to be bumped into by me, about a glance, there can be more than 1,500 people. ”

"There are so many? The prince said that he was attacked by wild pigs and suffered heavy casualties, and these guys are even more powerful than the Phantom Cavalry. Li Mi asked.

"yes. It should be that after Chang'an was lost, Luoyang was surrounded by the imperial army, and An Lushan was angry, so Li Zhu'er stepped up to make more iron guards. ”

"Listening to what you just said, if you want to become a barbarian pig iron guard, Li Zhu'er's blood and some pills are the key factors?" Li Mi asked.

"Well, the last general thinks so too. ”

"Have you seen them deal with the Ranger?"

Guo Ziyi still wants to confirm how big the skills of the Barbarian Pig Iron Guard are, because some rangers are often habitual thieves, and the skill of light skill and night walking is naturally very good, I don't know how the Barbarian Pig Iron Guard will deal with them?

"Seen it a few times. ”

"How many times have you seen it? How can there be so many?"

"Yes, there are already many rangers and Jianghu wizards living in Luoyang Shendu, and after being captured by An Lushan, these guys have also taken advantage of the chaos to reap a lot of benefits, so there are a lot. ”

"I see, how are they fighting?"

"Those people in the rivers and lakes are naturally accustomed to deceiving others with light skills, after all, no matter how good the soldiers are, they will not practice any light skills in the rivers and lakes. However, those barbarian pig guards are different, it should be that Li Zhu'er has trained them in light skills and green forest routines in the green forest, even if they don't change their bodies, they are not worse than most Jianghu people in light skills.

Once, when it was my turn to lead a team to patrol at night, I met a thief with excellent light skills, and we naturally had no choice but to play the flute to warn him, and when the guy was running between the houses, he saw a huge wild boar jump up from a corner, and hit him headlong to death, fell to the ground, and tore him to pieces. ”

Guo Ziyi hesitated when she heard this, according to this way of playing, her personal guards may not be the opponents of those guys, but how to keep in touch with the city in the future, so as not to let go of the great opportunity out of thin air.

Li Mi looked at Guo Ziyi, of course he understood what he was worried about, in fact, he was thinking about this question himself, so he asked Zhang Jilin.

"General Zhang, since it is difficult for ordinary people to act as messengers in and out of Luoyang, have you discussed it at the beginning, in case things change, how to keep in touch?"

"Oh, you see I've forgotten about it. ”

"Well, what General Zhang just said will also be of great help to our army. ”

"Hey, you said that my eldest brother is careful and he has the advantage of being careful, but this matter has also been discussed with Guo Gongzi and Lord Duguhuan.

What the eldest brother meant was that when I settled in the Tang camp, I would send him a message, and he would send my family's assassins to the Tang camp to make contact. Guo Gongzi was also worried that he would not be able to leave if there was a change outside the city, and it was always good to have one more person to communicate the news, so he decided on this method. ”

Li Mi and Guo Ziyi listened and looked happy.

Guo Ziyi has naturally heard a lot of legends about assassins, and most of the local heroes, generals of feudal towns, and gate valve giants will raise some doormen, and some of them will play the role of assassins. In order to accomplish the errands assigned by their masters, they often do not hesitate to sacrifice their lives and specialize in espionage and assassination.

Of course, the skills of the assassins are also different, some of the stories of the assassins sound very ordinary, and some are too legendary to be sung by people.

"Can your assassins break through the patrols of those barbarian pig guards?" Guo Ziyi asked politely.
