Chapter 72: Be Strong

The man with a meaty face was stunned, Sizhen gritted his teeth, and slashed down with his sword.

She slashed so fast and accurately that the man didn't even have time to snort before his head fell to the ground, and then his body fell limply.

The pony gave a hand, and the man's body fell to the ground silently.

Sizhen felt dizzy.

This sword, unlike last night.

It was dark at night, and she couldn't see anything, and she held her sword as she practiced on a daily basis, slashing left and right, and even stuffing cotton in her ears, and she couldn't hear the screams of those people.

At that time, she still said to herself in her heart: You should only cut watermelon.

But looking at it in the blue sky and daylight, the head in front of him fell to the ground, and the blood was rubbing, not a watermelon after all.

Sizhen couldn't help but scream, as if the person who was cut was her.

Sun Yanling took her in his arms and gently stroked her back.

The blood splashed on Sizhen's body stained his clothes red.

Because only one crack in the door was opened, only one person was allowed to come in, and the people outside had not seen the situation inside, and when they heard Sizhen's exclamation, they laughed: "Old Duan, you take it easy, don't frighten the little girl." ”

After saying that, he felt that something was wrong, and pushed the door hard to come in.

Mama Qin and Xiaoma couldn't resist it, and when they saw Sun Yanling's eyes, they slowly let go.

The door opened wider.

A tall, thin man poked his head in and was stabbed in the chest by the pony.

When the three people outside found out that something was wrong and broke in, Sun Yanling first helped Sizhen to sit on the warm pit, and then together with Xiaoma, he solved them by dividing five by two.

There were more than 20 other people on the other side, who were originally searching in the forest belt outside, and when they heard the movement, they also covered up.

Sun Yanling and Pony went out of the door.

Mama Qin and Thrush also went out to help. The people of Dingnan Palace, regardless of men and women, will give a few punches and kicks, and they escorted Sizhen all the way from Guilin to the capital two years ago, and after a lot of battles, they are not afraid of killing.

Besides, at this time, if you don't want to be killed, you have to kill the other party.

Sizhen looked at the five dead people in the room, their faces were hideous, their flesh and blood were blurred, and it took a long time to exhale.

She was shocked to find that she was in a cold sweat on her back, soaked the padded jacket she had changed last night, wiped her face with her hands, and the tip of her nose and forehead were also full of cold sweat.

The hand holding the sword couldn't help but tremble, but the courage just now gradually faded, thinking back to the situation of this night and day, she was so afraid that she wanted to hide her face and cry.

No matter how much practice there is, it is not as shocking as last night and today.

What did she do?

She killed!

Moreover, more than one person.

Last night's three, plus today's one, she killed four people in less than five days after she went out.

Will she turn into a homicidal maniac?

Although she was born in a general, she has never really been on the battlefield and killed anyone.

She is a daughter from the Jiangmen, the heaviest thing she has ever held is a sword, a long knife, and the dirtiest thing she has ever touched is inkstone for writing, she knows the hard work of the sergeants, but she never thought that one day she would be upside down, fleeing and fighting, and even killing people with her own hands.

Since the fire in Guilin City more than two years ago, her life has changed dramatically.

But the last time she fled, she was still young, and she was firmly protected by her brother, her cousin, and the guards, and the blood of the enemy was not even splashed on her body.

Unexpectedly, after two or three years, she was going to kill people with her own sword!

But after all, one day, she is going to go to the killing field, she can't escape from these, and she can't let people protect her forever.

So, last night she killed someone, today she killed someone.

In the future, she will kill more people, right?!

Sizhen was stunned and thoughtless, but she didn't notice that one of the five people on the ground had quietly got up and struggled to pounce on her.

He didn't even die.

Just as the man was about to pounce on the edge of the bed, Sizhen stretched out his fingers with great difficulty, trembled and held the sword, closed his eyes, and gave the man a sword head-on.

There was no movement.

Sizhen opened his eyes.

The man was strung to her sword, a face no more than two fists away from her.

Sizhen sent the sword forward, and the man fell on his back.

The sword stabbed down, and she wasn't as scared as she was just now.

Sure enough, you get used to killing and killing!

Sizhen smiled bitterly.

Also, since she wants to avenge her parents, rescue her brother, and become a general, she has to work hard to live, try to kill others, and try to protect herself, there is nothing to be hypocritical.

Looking at the blood flowing from the sword, Sizhen slowly spread her hand, faced the light, looked at the bloody fingers for a while, and then picked up the clothes she had changed from last night in the corner of the bed, and wiped them carefully over and over again.

Wipe your hands clean, and then wipe your sword.

Then she looked at the bloody shirt, unwrapped the package in the corner of the bed, took out a clean set, closed the door, and changed it.

When she got up, carefully bypassed the people on the ground again, and walked towards the door, Sun Yanling and the others happened to come back.

Seeing Sizhen's appearance, Sun Yanling asked her in surprise, "What are you doing?" ”

Sizhen paused in his hand, lowered his head, and said with some difficulty: "...... There was blood on the ground, and I was just this pair of boots...... It's so easy to wipe clean...... Dirty! ”

Sun Yanling was stunned, then the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and she laughed.

While laughing, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom, stretched out his hand to Sizhen, thought of something, handed it to her instead, and then pointed to her cheek, and said, "There is blood on the face too." ”

Blood!

Thinking of the sword just now, looking at the few people on the ground, Sizhen hurriedly turned his head, held back the nausea that was tumbling in his heart, reached out to take the handkerchief, and wiped it on his face.

Naturally, it is impossible to stay here for a long time, but if the corpses of those people are left around, sooner or later they will attract the attention of the officers and soldiers stationed in this area.

Sun Yanling thought for a while and said, "Carry those people in, and then, a fire." Let's check first, if there is anything important on them......"

The work of carrying people is mainly done by Sun Yanling and Xiaoma, and Mama Qin and Thrush are women after all, even if they are not afraid, they don't have so much strength.

Sizhen had already changed his clothes, so he found something useful in the wooden house, put it away, wrapped it in a package, and took it out.

When the wooden house and the corpses of those people turned to ashes, Sizhen took two ingots of silver and wrapped them in Sun Yanling's handkerchief and placed them on the ground.

The wooden house is all the belongings of the forest keepers, and they borrowed it for one night, and destroyed other people's houses, but they were afraid that the forest guards would come back and see it, and they would cry to death.

Sun Yanling expressed his heartfelt admiration: "Ah Zhen, your heart is so good! Also, the sword just now was cut beautifully! ”

After these two days, he no longer laughed at Sizhen and called her daughter-in-law.

Although Sizhen said that she admitted this family matter, Sun Yanling could see that her attitude towards this marriage was just to obey the orders of her parents, not to recognize him as a person, let alone love him.

What she likes is someone else!

How can his daughter-in-law like someone else?

Even if that person is the emperor, it can't be.

Sun Yanling thought cautiously: Sooner or later, he would have to screw her over.

Listening to Sun Yanling's praise, Sizhen tried hard to pull the corners of her mouth and make a laughing gesture.

She was able to cut such a sword, because her father taught her well, and Qi Niangzi taught her well, they told her everything, taught her everything, and taught her little by little when she was a little girl.

To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself.

One kill is a hit, leaving no trouble.

When danger comes, fear and hesitation can cost you your life.

If you want to be uncontrolled by others, you have to strike first.

That's what she did.

She will definitely get stronger and stronger!

**

Fortunately, there was no danger on the road behind, and after they arrived at Shahe Town to meet Fugui and Ronghua, they took the guards and rode all the way to Yunnan.

Although the Qing Dynasty had been in the customs for several years, the remnants of the Ming Dynasty still occupied half of the country south of the Huai River.

It's just that, despite the division of the Huai River from the Qing Dynasty, the two sides have always been at war.

However, in just over ten years, Nanming has changed the four emperors of Hongguang, Longwu, Shaowu, and Yongli, and now this Yongli Emperor is the longest reigning emperor and has been in office for nine years.

Since Li Dingguo conquered Guilin in the ninth year of Shunzhi, the area nominally controlled by the Yongli regime was restored to all of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, most of the two provinces of Hunan and Sichuan, and parts of the four provinces of Guangdong, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Hubei.

In May last year, the Qing Dynasty sent Shangshu Hong Chengchou to pass through the provinces of Huguang, Yunnan, and Guizhou, and formulated the strategy of first Anhuguang, then Pingyungui, strictly guarding against important towns, and turning each other into horns.

Sun Yanling's trip, firstly, to help Hong Chengchou train his troops, and secondly, to take the opportunity to spy on Nanming's military situation and find out the news of Kong Tingxun.

Undoubtedly, after entering the territory of Yunnan, murderous opportunities lurked.

According to the spies, Kong Tingxun was in Kunming City and was placed under house arrest by Li Dingguo in a Zhuangzi.

Kunming was the capital of the Yongli regime at this time, heavily guarded, and it was a fool's dream if they wanted to save Kong Tingxun.

But Sizhen insisted on saving her brother.

can't be saved, even if he can see his brother.

After discussion, they first had to go to Kunming City first.

spent a lot of money to buy a guide to the city, and Sun Yanling left the other guards in the Qing military camp, and only brought a few henchmen and Sizhen into the city together.

In order to hide people's eyes, they must also dress up and go into the city separately, and they cannot bring weapons.

Outside the city of Kunming, Sizhen lifted the curtain of the car.

Although it was already dusk, there was still a crowd of people outside the city gates.

The afterglow of dusk penetrated through the cracks in the curtain of the car's windows, hitting Mama Qin and Thrush's half-closed faces.

They were so tired from the journey.

Seeing Sizhen lift the curtain, Thrush leaned over to her and looked out.

When Mama Qin heard the movement, she rubbed her eyes, squinted her eyes and sat up straight in a daze, and asked Sizhen: "Miss, are you going to enter Kunming City?" ”

The Manchurians call the aristocratic lady Gege, but there are all Han people here, and they have changed their Hanfu and changed their names early in the morning.

Sizhen shook his head, "It's still early, there is a long line of people in front, all waiting to enter the city." ”
