Chapter 119: The Past Is Not Dusty
The blood marks in the thief's throat appeared immediately, and before he could shout, he was cut by the dagger that appeared in Lu Yixuan's sleeve, and the blood suddenly gushed out and soaked through the linen shirt.
As soon as the man's hand was released, the torch fell, Lu Yixuan's eyes were quick, he raised his foot and kicked lightly, and took the torch and gently placed it on the sentry card.
As if nothing had happened.
The night wind hit the backbone, and when you raised your eyes, you could see that there was a faint fire in the small forest upwind that was extinguished in an instant, and it must have been the soldiers sent by Su Yicongee to take down the patrolling thieves, and under the sentry tower with bated breath, the team of people and horses in the shadows were sneaking in by hiding from the moonlight, and a loud bird whistle suddenly came from behind the camp.
It's clear and bright, and it hits the ears straight to the ear.
Like the night howl of a bird.
The people in the camp were slightly stunned, but at that moment of lightning, Lu Yixin took out the long knife on the corpse under his feet and threw it at the thief who was curious to look at the source of the sound on the sentry tower.
"Poof", right in the chest, the man snorted that his body had fallen down the sentry tower, and smashed into the grass.
At that moment, the fire in the small sentry camp protruded, and the sword light and sword shadow seemed to have the momentum of thousands of troops boiling in the silhouette of the tent, the thieves did not expect the sudden situation at all, and even the outpost did not make the slightest sound, let alone react to the need to go to the fire to ventilate the news, and suddenly the entire camp had exploded, splashing blood stains, fallen corpses, and heads were rolling disobediently on the ground, and the smell of blood permeated this small col.
The shouting soon stopped, and there was not even time for half a cup of tea, cleanly.
When the night breeze blows, it makes people evil.
Su Yixiang's face was also splashed with blood, he was too lazy to erase it, he reached out and put the long sword into the scabbard, all the killing atmosphere under the concealment of the moonlight, this was the second time Lu Yixuan couldn't help but sigh, his actions were like a leopard scurrying through the forest in the middle of the night, ordering quickly and ruthlessly, the young man seemed to be born to kill and set fire, the sword was held in his hand without a little weight, swept up and down, precise and fierce.
General Su Xiao looked at the corpses all over the ground with disgust, kicked the heads of the thieves at his feet, and waved his hand to the young soldiers behind him who had been repairing in the mountains for nearly two months and were excited to see blood, and motioned for them to take the corpses aside to tidy up the camp, and pack up all the materials, food, grass and armaments that could be used and bring them back to the camp.
The terrain of this col is hidden, and the downwind mouth looks at a dark and boundless place, as if it is a step forward is the abyss bitter sea, the moonlight walks through the mountains and reflects the outline of the black hole, in the 100,000 mountains, only feel that the forest is as quiet as a drop in the sea, and the heart can't help but stir up half a feeling, but when you look back, it is the sea of fire in the world, the corpse is upside down, and the blood is flowing.
Wonderful.
"Under Qingmu Peak is Hu Lao Pass, the first line of the heavenly gorge can not allow the army to pass quickly, the two camps under the peak can be served together tonight, as long as Captain Liao acts decisively and does not drag mud and water, soon, we will be able to block the communication of these thieves, the small city is not to be afraid, I am afraid that once they find out that we want to break through, they will inevitably abandon the pawn and protect the car." Su Yicongee's gaze was far away, as if it had spread all the way through the mountains along the moonlight, and his mind had also flown thousands of miles away.
Lu Yixin stepped forward, and the wind at the mouth of the pass blew her skirt in an arc, like a night flower blooming in the cold autumn mountains.
"Sooner or later, we'll have to fight with us." She took a deep breath.
"In less than five days." Almost in unison, breaking the rare silence, the two looked at each other in a slight stunned manner, and both saw the bright moonlight from each other's eyes.
Su Yicongee's "ha" Lang smiled and simply reached out and patted Lu Yixuan's shoulder, not treating her as a little girl at all, but tilting his head to look at her: "Why did you kill Xichuan Hou?" He asked suddenly, but instead of waiting for an answer, he slowly paced into the camp.
Lu Yixin said that the Marquis of Xichuan was full of evil and killed good and impostor, he was a person who deserved to die, and it was a great pleasure to kill him - this inevitably seemed impulsive and reckless, since Su Yicongee asked, he didn't believe this reason.
The bonfire was dim, and the soldiers had already dragged the corpses of the thieves aside, and the grain and grass materials they had found were packed into boxes and bundled.
Lu Yixin went up to help, tore off the hemp rope and tied the single burden tightly: "General Su Xiao wants to tell the truth?" ”
"Listen up."
"Killing him is for the sake of people's hearts," Lu Yixuan pulled the hemp rope fiercely, almost a word that popped out of the back molars, she patted her red palm and stood up, and subconsciously looked down at the hem of her skirt, as if she was afraid of being contaminated with dust and blood, "One wins the hearts of the people, the second is the heart of the thief, and the third is the heart." She said sloppily and carelessly.
Su Yi porridge did not move.
"General Su Xiao doesn't believe anyone, Counselor Qiu will be the 'fine work' sent by Ren Zaifu, what about me, I am the eyes and ears sent by the East Palace or the Son of Heaven, maybe because of the marriage contract with the Qin family, you will treat me as a spy of the King of Jin at all, take 10,000 steps back, the girl's family is either delicate and willful or embroidered pillows, in your opinion, there are more than 8,000 bandit troops, and the most useless is my Lu Yixuan." The girl laughed, this self-deprecation is appropriate, she is not angry, she wants to dissect your mind.
"You want to rely on your own hands to flatten the 100,000 mountains, the collusion between the Marquis of Xichuan and the adults in the palace is well known, no, behind him is the imperial city thousands of miles away, where there are little nobles who are helping to abuse, the death of Lord Lin Zhen of the East Academy is the best proof," Lu Yixuan stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky and star dome that was "far away in the sky", "The little general is open-minded but his ambition is difficult to reward, for fear that the officials of these two provinces will misunderstand the military situation, for fear that the generals around him will be bribed by others as fine work." ”
Lu Yixin is not polite to you, since it is better for everyone to spread it out when it comes to this, why hide it, in the past two months, it has been extremely uncomfortable to "look like a god", and suspicion has made this anti-bandit operation scattered, and it is even about to become a joke.
"You're waiting to see faithfulness, and it just so happens that I want to show your loyalty." Lu Yixuan clasped his palms together and struck, concise and clear.
Su Yicongee squinted his eyes, didn't speak for a long time, and finally the corners of his lips moved: "It's good to kill." He said lightly, his tone was full of disgust for Xichuan Hou and the pleasure of taking the blame, which was a trace that had never been shown in front of Qiu Lian.
He smiled slightly, waved his hand and asked everyone to complete their gear and follow down the mountain, they didn't have much time, and they had to go back to the camp to join the other three people, the beacon fire of suppressing bandits had already started at this moment, and a moment of delay would become a turning point in success or failure.
The group of people was in good shape and galloped on the dim mountain and forest paths, and when they went, they didn't need to distinguish the direction of the wind and the moonlight, and his eyes in the dark had already been transparent.
"General Su Xiao doesn't look like Shi Hai said, he was young and lived in Shunning Mansion for three years." Lu Yixin had long doubts about this, General Shi said it easily, and casually recommended a young man with a bad temper, just because he was familiar with the terrain? "You hate thieves and thieves, not because you care about the suffering of the people and want to ask for your life." If you want to say that those who empathize with the righteousness and awe for the country and the people, who does not envy and admire, not everyone is born with such an understanding, and more comes from their own experience.
Su Yicongee's original speed like the wind slowed down, signaling to let the soldiers behind him take the first step, he thought about it, and did not vomit quickly, the original estrangement between the two was mostly eliminated because of tonight's actions and Lu Yixin's words, although it was not said that he was in his heart, but he was indeed in his heart.
"I heard General Qiu say that there is your benefactor here." Lu Yixin is not trying to find out any little secrets, but as a colleague, he should naturally open his heart since he has won the trust of others.
Su Yicongee's brows moved, he was a young man who looked like a sword-eyed, and he frowned slightly, but he tightened the illusion of deep thought: "Yes, the grace of a meal." He didn't deny it, his throat constricted slightly when he said this, and it was obvious that this past had made a deep impression on him.
"And what about your benefactor?" Lu Yixuan subconsciously asked, did Su Yicongee come to suppress the bandits this time and also wanted to meet the benefactor.
Su Yicongee was stunned, her steps suddenly sped up again, and a gust of wind swept past her.
"Dead, died early." His voice was slightly cool, like a night spring.
Lu Yixuan paused, Su Yicongee's eyes were full of melancholy and resentment under the full moonlight, she only then knew that this little general also had an unknown past, when he was young and living in the middle of nowhere, he was a little beggar, sleeping in the open and secretly born in the mountains and forests, eating mostly wild fruits and wild fowl, if he was unlucky and didn't catch anything, then he was hungry, and then the spring blossomed, and someone went up the mountain to worship his ancestors and pray for blessings, he met a kind-hearted person who gave fragrant fruit lunch and sugar gourd in his hand.
The little beggar inquired in many ways to learn that the benefactor was in Shunning Mansion, he went down the mountain to work in the dock dock for a month of odd jobs to buy a cucumber candy man rushed to thank him, but the broken wall and ruins of the people went to the empty building, only to know that the three counties of Shunning Mansion were looted by bandits, and the thirteen people died at the hands of thieves, and the blood flowed like a river.
Su Yi Congee actually doesn't remember very clearly, even her appearance has gradually faded away, that sunny afternoon many years ago, whether the mountain flowers were too gorgeous, or the sugar gourd was too sweet and greasy.
His sugar man shattered to the ground.
From the corner to Shengjing City, he was unbearable to educate and contradict his boss, but he was transferred out not only because of his temper.
"General Shi knows the whole story." Lu Yixuan muttered, the military department will suddenly transfer Su Yicongee to Shengjing City temporarily, it must be because General Shi knows that he has a so-called "love and hatred", so this time the bandits immediately recommended this person, he will not be afraid of the powerful, nor will he bend his waist for gold and silver.
What he wants is blood debt and blood payment.
