Chapter 373
Su Jinyao walked around among these people, and although she didn't do anything, she took a look at the qíng situation of these bandits.
Then she said to Dongzi: "It's okay, there are only two or three who can't be saved." It's not hard to save them, it's up to you. ”
"Huh? Look at me? How can I save it? Dongzi panicked even more and said, "I'll save it." I really didn't want to kill anyone, I was just afraid that they would let go of the wood. ”
Su Jinyao patted Dongzi on the shoulder and said, "Since they are bandits, they will definitely not **** to do good deeds." Those words of robbing the rich and helping the poor are all good-sounding, and what they rob must be the hard-earned money of the common people. So you don't have to care, it's not too many for them to die one or two, just think that you are doing harm to the people. If you want to save them, you can take a soak of urine and pour a mouthful of it into each person. ”
"Ahem, master, what did you say?" Dongzi only felt that his throat was a little itchy, and asked in a trembling voice, "You mean, my urine can detoxify?" ”
Su Jinyao glanced at Dongzi and said, "Your urine is not so magical." It's just that when I was dispensing the medicine, I added a home remedy. So that after these poisons are prepared, the urine can be dissolved. It's not just yours, it's anyone. ”
After speaking, Su Jinyao turned her head and asked Gu Shangqing, "Brother, if Dongzi's urine is not enough for these twenty or so people to drink, you will also pee?" ”
Gu Shangqing's face was not very good because of the poisoning, but after listening to Su Jinyao's words at this time, it was green for a while, white for a while. He waved his hand and said, "It's better for Dongzi to come, what he does himself, his own urine will be paid." ”
Archers and rattan players
Dongzi listened to Su Jinyao's detoxification method, and the whole person was not good.
But he looked at the twenty or so thieves on the ground, each of them had a more and more gray face, and the two who were bleeding from their nostrils were also out of breath and less in breath, so he was really afraid that he would not be able to save them, so he had to believe it.
So he untied a sheepskin bladder from the waist of a thief, poured out the water, and ran into a cave.
I don't know if Dongzi has too much urine or can't squeeze it out, so it took a long time to come back with the water bladder, pry open one of the mouths nearby, and pour it in.
When Gu Shangqing saw it, his shoulders shrunk, and he pulled Su Jinyao and said, "Jinyao, let's continue to go up, there's nothing to see here." ”
Su Jinyao laughed, turned back to Dongzi and said, "You did a good job today, go back and give you credit." ”
Dongzi pursed her lips and wanted to say something. But when he saw the water bladder in his hand, he couldn't help retching and almost threw it up.
With such a heavy taste, he felt disgusting when he thought about it, and he really didn't know how their master was still a big girl like a flower.
Su Jinyao didn't pay attention to this anymore and followed Gu Shangqing to the mountain.
Gu Shangqing explained: "This Guozi Mountain is smaller than Hujialing, and it was originally the thirty or forty people. Dongzi knocked these down, and I beat them lightly yesterday, and the rest of them probably have little combat power when they nest in the mountains. ”
Su Jinyao looked at Hujialing behind him again, and said, "I think the further back you go, the more difficult it will be, and the biggest leader is still the big boss on Pingba Mountain." I just don't know where that big boss comes from. ”
Su Jinyao felt that Kong Xiao's kung fu was really good. If it is placed on the rivers and lakes, the absolute third-rate strength is a little higher.
Su Jinyao weighed the Luan Feng cone in her hand again, and said, "With this treasure alone, I think we will definitely have a big harvest when we hit Pingba Mountain this time." ”
Gu Shangqing was naturally knowledgeable, and said: "I almost folded in Pingba Mountain yesterday, also because there is not only a dangerous terrain, but also a lot of institutions. It is not easy for a group of small bandits to make such a big battle. ”
Su Jinyao did not (jìn) and said: "I have tried a little bit of Yueyue (yù) when I said it." I know that I can't act recklessly now, but I just find it exciting. ”
Perhaps because of Gu Shangqing's pampering, Su Jinyao's killer bloodthirsty nature has become a desire for excitement and adventure. Before, she wanted to take it step by step, but she had nothing to rely on.
But once there is someone to escort you (shēn), it is estimated that everyone wants to make a fuss in order to have a wonderful life.
People, it's such a collection of contradictions.
After a long time, the bloody murderer (rì) will want to return to comfort and peace; But when the idle (rì) child grows, I can't help but want a little bit of stimulation as a spice.
While the two of them were talking, they had already come to the mountain.
This pot mountain is not high, just listen to the name, you know, it is like an upside-down pot.
The stone platform that had been ambushed before was already the most precipitous section of the mountain.
Now seeing a cottage in front of her, Su Jinyao took a breath and said, "These thieves really enjoy it, why do I seem to have seen a swing?" ”
Gu Shangqing said: "Yes, it was strange when I came yesterday, there is actually a swing here." However, the swing was very worn, and the rope was about to break. I guess it was a long time ago, and there were still children here. ”
Su Jinyao nodded and walked forward disapprerovingly. He shouted: "Listen, the people inside, the day before yesterday you handed over the brass beast button, proving that you have intended to submit." There was an ambush at the bottom of the mountain just now, did you change your mind? If you are unwilling, just come out to fight, don't hide inside as a turtle with a shrunken head. ”
Su Jinyao's voice was crisp, but with a majesty that could not be refused. There is no hoarse shouting, but the words are sonorous, which can ensure that the entire cottage will be heard.
As soon as Su Jinyao's words fell, she heard a drum sound from inside. But this is not like the sound of gongs and drums to greet them, but like the drums of war.
Will there be war drums in this cottage?
Su Jinyao frowned, turned her head to look at Gu Shangqing, and said, "You were like this when you came?" ”
Gu Shangqing shook his head and said, "It's night when I came, the sneak attack was successful, and most of the people are still sleeping." No one beats gongs and drums. ”
That is to say, the current (qíng) situation is completely different from when Gu Shangqing came before?
But think about it again, maybe it has something to do with that Kong Xiao. He came, and it couldn't have been alone (shēn).
Just thinking about it, Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing saw the door of the cottage open, and more than 20 people ran out of it. There are two rows in front and back, with the hands in the front holding rattan shields, and the back holding bows and arrows.
This is clearly a confrontation between the two armies, and in the picture before the war, Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing were a little stunned, and they didn't understand what was going on.
Immediately, I heard someone shouting: "Release!" ”
Suddenly, more than a dozen archers in the back row drew their bows (shè) arrows, and more than a dozen feathered arrows flew towards Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing in unison.
Su Jinyao didn't nervously go to Gu Shangqing (shēn) to stand behind, and Gu Shangqing shook the snake bone whip in his hand and knocked the dozen feather arrows to the ground.
However, those dozen archers were really (shēn) and could fire three arrows in a row.
Gu Shangqing had just knocked down more than a dozen feather arrows in the first round, and the second and third rounds followed.
But there are only thirty or forty arrows before and after, which is really not a big challenge for Gu Shangqing. He whipped the snake bone in his hand, and all the feather arrows fell to the ground.
But just after dealing with the archers, the person who shouted loudly before shouted again: "Attack!" ”
The dozen or so rattan players in the front row rushed over with shields and broadswords.
Su Jinyao is a person who has been on the battlefield and has seen the picture of the confrontation between the two armies. It's pretty much the same as this. It's just that now there are more than a dozen people on the other side, and it is not yet a climate.
But Su Jinyao really didn't understand, what did it mean to make such a big battle with such a small cottage?
What's more, if these two moves are okay against ordinary opponents, if you want to deal with martial arts masters, let alone a dozen arrows and a dozen downs, even if these people are all attacked, Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing may not care.
However, it is interesting to deal with it like this.
Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing were back to back, dealing with several rattan players by themselves, and the "jingle bell" was a rè fight.
The Luan Feng cone in Su Jinyao's hand is very easy to use, because when she throws the flying needle, she also specializes in hitting (xué).
The Luan Feng cone he uses now is like a large silver needle, and every time he pokes at the opponent's (xué) position, he can quickly lose his ability to attack, and he will directly collapse to the ground.
Father's old ministry
It was only a few breaths of time, and these dozen rattan players were not enough for Gu Shangqing and Su Jinyao to have a happy time, so they were all knocked to the ground.
Moreover, Su Jinyao used the method of direct point (xué), and whenever she clicked (shēn) without seeing blood, she had completely lost her ability to move.
However, Gu Shangqing's shot was heavier, and the person who was whipped by his snake bone looked like the blood (ròu) was blurry, which was a bit miserable.
Su Jinyao sighed twice and said, "Brother, I didn't expect you to look gentle and elegant, and you will be poisoned." ”
Gu Shangqing weighed the snake bone whip in his hand and said, "It's been useless for a long time, it's a little unlucky, and the strength is not mastered well." ”
Just as Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing were talking, the person in command shouted again: "Release!" "Needless to say, it's another three-wheeled feather arrow (shè).
When the three rounds of feather arrows (shè) were finished, the dozen or so archers actually abandoned their bows, each drew a knife, and took a position to wait for the order.
At this time, Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing saw clearly that behind the crowd opposite, there was a burly man (shēn) dressed in black and holding a spear in his hand. Just now, he shouted "release" and "attack".
The corners of Su Jinyao's mouth twitched, and she pointed at the person with the Luan Feng cone in her hand, and said, "You will be able to summon others?" Come over and take a look at it yourself, don't let your men be cannon fodder. ”
The man didn't talk, just stared at the Luan Feng cone in Su Jinyao's hand, and asked, "Kong Xiao, how is he?" ”
"I guess it's time to die." Su Jinyao frowned and said, "If you don't die, you have to be crippled, it's better to die happily." ”
Unexpectedly, when the man in black heard this, he actually laughed: "Haha, die well." This guy is going to be poisonous, I don't know how much he spoiled the yellow flower girl, if the boss hadn't promised not to take his dog's life, I would have strangled him a long time ago. ”
Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing glanced at each other, and they both felt that this black-clothed man clearly didn't look like a bandit, but ...... Guan?
Gu Shangqing put away the snake bone whip in his hand, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it a general who has unloaded his armor and returned to the field?" ”
The black-clothed man stalked his neck and sneered: "Unload your armor and return to the field? We are deserters. There is no high-sounding reason, you can't beat it, there is no backup, it's all death material. The court is useless, and they can't even afford to raise soldiers, so why give them their lives. ”
Gu Shangqing and Su Jinyao glanced at each other, and said, "Then may I ask, are these Guozi Mountain, Hujialing and Pingba Mountain behind all the generals of your battalion?" ”
With a wave of his hand, the black-clothed man made the archers with swords retreat, then took two steps forward, pointed to the cottage behind (shēn) and said, "The people here are not real mountain bandits and grass bandits, they are all ordinary people who have fled the famine, and they have come here in desperation. We took them in Pingba Mountain, and the people of the two villages were settled on two hills. So there is something going on here, and we in Pingba Mountain are going to come to support. ”
This time, Su Jinyao understood. The big man in black is a regular army, and he didn't know which battlefield he lost and became a deserter, and he fled here to occupy the mountain.
Later, some villagers who fled here were scattered, and the deserters of Pingba Mountain took them in. Just on the two hills in front of you.
As for the swings they saw in the cottage before, it is estimated that there are children among the villagers who fled a few years ago. Over the years, the children have grown up, but no woman continues to have children, and the swing is slowly abandoned.
Just imagine, except for robbery, there really will be no woman willing to marry into the mountains and be a daughter-in-law for a bandit.
But from another point of view, the mountain bandits here may not be so bad, at least they did not harm the people and rob the people's daughters to go up the mountain.
The black-clothed man pointed at Gu Shangqing again and said, "You kid, keep saying what to co-opt." You're not from the imperial court, what are you talking about? If you want to rely on your efforts to destroy our stockade, or if we do something harmful, I will not give in, and I will definitely fight with you to break the net. ”
After speaking, the black-clothed man took a step back and stood in a row with the archers beside him (shēn), and the spear in his hand also changed from being upside down to being held horizontally, the tip of the spear shook, and he pulled a spear flower, and said, "Come on, I will meet you two little guys in Zhuang Liantang." ”
It turns out that this black-clothed man is called "Zhuang Liantang"?
Su Jinyao said that she hadn't heard it and was about to speak.
But Gu Shangqing's brows furrowed tightly, he thought for a while, and asked, "That'...... Do you know Feng Jihe? ”
"That's our manager." Zhuang Liantang looked at Gu Shangqing in surprise, squinted at him and looked at him, and then the spear in his hand shook violently, and he rushed over directly.
This time she couldn't catch off guard, Su Jinyao was also stunned for a moment, but then she held the Luan Feng cone to meet her.
Unexpectedly, Gu Shangqing suddenly shouted: "Stop!" She is Gu Chengduo, the daughter of General Gu. ”
"What?" Zhuang Liantang was obviously stunned, and the spear in his hand froze in mid-air, not stabbing forward or retracting. His tiger eyes stared at Su Jinyao tightly, looking up and down.
"Brother?" Su Jinyao was stunned before she reacted, Gu Shangqing was talking about herself. Then, "Gu Chengduo" should be her father's name.
Gu Shangqing squinted, his teeth clenched, and his hands clenched into fists. After a long time, he replied coldly: "Back then, General Gu Chengduo died on the battlefield, but you ...... Made a deserter. Are you worthy of his orphans? In the face of his only daughter, you still dare to swing a gun? ”
"Is that her? How could it be her? Zhuang Liantang pointed at Su Jinyao with his finger, and his lips trembled.
Half an hour later, the spear in his hand slammed into the ground. And Zhuang Liantang's tall (shēn) body suddenly became half shorter, and he knelt in front of Su Jinyao with a "plop".
Su Jinyao had already reacted, and the black-clothed Hanzhuang Liantang in front of him should be the deserter on the battlefield back then. They fled, but their father fought until the last moment and died for his country.
Although Su Jinyao knew that she was not the real Yao'er, at this moment, she was faintly hateful.
Zhuang Liantang knelt on the ground, kowtowed three more times, and then said, "Miss, let's ...... We had no choice but to do so. At that time, the imperial court was slow to send troops to reinforce, and the grain and grass were also exhausted. Staying is a dead end. ”
"That's not a reason for you to run away." Su Jinyao suddenly shouted, and the Luan Feng cone in her hand stabbed out towards Zhuang Liantang.
She didn't know why she had a strong anger and deep despair at this time.
She was not desperate, but because she thought of what her father had experienced at the time (qíng).
Defected vanguard officer
Su Jinyao could imagine how desperate it must have been that at that time, the man who was her father had to face the attacks of strong enemies, endure the betrayal of his subordinates, and even more endure the situation of being isolated and helpless.
Therefore, her subordinates did not hesitate, nor did they delay at all, they just wanted to stab this Zhuang Liantang to death at once.
At the same time as Su Jinyao made a move, the dozen or so archers suddenly rushed up together.
But no one waved their swords, but knelt down in unison and shouted, "Young master, please keep your subordinates (qíng)." ”
Young master? Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and her subordinates hesitated slightly.
But Zhuang Liantang slammed into the Luan Feng cone in her hand after Su Jinyao stopped.
Su Jinyao suddenly felt that something was wrong, and at the same time that Zhuang Liantang bumped into her, she withdrew her hand and retreated, so that Zhuang Liantang was not killed all at once.
However, Zhuang Liantang hit it hard and fiercely, and his throat was close to Su Jinyao's Luan Feng cone, even if Su Jinyao withdrew his hand in time, he still pierced the skin on his neck and cut a thin blood mark on his neck.
The dozen or so archers immediately knelt and moved over, and someone directly held down Zhuang Liantang, afraid that he would continue to seek death.
There are also people who knelt on the ground and kept begging, saying: "Young master, there is another reason for this, please don't blame Lord Zhuang." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Gu Shangqing also walked up. He handed the snake bone whip in his left hand, and gently wrapped his right hand around Su Jinyao's shoulder, wanting to give her a little comfort.
Su Jinyao's heart suddenly felt empty, sour and astringent. It was the first time that she had such great sorrow and anger because of her father, whom she had never met.
