Chapter 20: Leaving a Name in the Martial Arts Test (5)
"Let's go. "The cold night flue hidden behind the bushes outside the camp.
"This man has a lot of two strokes. "That glass said.
"Hmph, it's just the kung fu of the three-legged cat, these people don't know it, and they make a fuss. "Night cold flue.
"Little Lord, where are we going now?"
"Let's find a hidden place to rest for the time being, and after nightfall, we will explore the camp in the south of the town. ”
"Huh?"
"The various ethnic groups are connected and supported by each other, and the deployment of troops echoes each other from afar. Therefore, I think that there must be confidential information about the town transportation and defensive line deployment of the various tribes of Dawn in this Jialan camp, and if we can obtain such confidential information, then when we march south in the future, we will be able to avoid the line of heavy troops and attack its vital points. ”
After Ye Lengyan finished speaking, he glanced at Liuli with a smile, and then jumped down from the big tree and walked into the depths of the jungle.
On the other end, Luo Yin came down from the test platform, and it seemed that he had not come back to his senses for the sudden promotion to any first-class light-armored samurai. You Wanruo hugged Luoyin and said happily: "Great, Luoyin, from now on you will be a first-class warrior, only one step away from the Moon Knight." ”
"It's not that easy to become a Moon Knight. The first-rank warlock on the side continued: "If it is said that being promoted from the second rank to the first rank is like climbing this Jialan Peak, then going from a first-class warrior to a moonlight knight requires crossing ten peaks. ”
"How can there be such a big gap?"
The warlock nodded: "That's true, otherwise you see why we have more than 4,000 second-class heavy-armored warriors in this camp, about 2,000 first-class light-armored warriors, and only about 20 moonlight knights." ”
"I see......" Luo Yin nodded.
"Therefore, if you want to become that moonlight knight, you must not only improve your martial arts, but also have to be experienced in a hundred battles, brave and strategic, and extremely strong in body and mind. The warlock said.
In the evening, the martial arts test meeting ended, and everyone returned to their respective barracks.
Luoyin fought for too long during the day, and he was a little weak, so he took a shower early and returned to the room to rest. When he just lay down, he heard a guard outside the door shouting: "Are you here, Zhang Dutou called you to the hall of his inner courtyard." ”
Luo Yin hurriedly responded, so he had to put on his clothes and shoes again, and only went to the inner courtyard of Zhang Musha. Along the way, Luo Yin thought to himself, I'm waiting for the little minions, what is the matter with Zhang Dutou looking for me?
When he arrived at the inner courtyard hall of the head of the knight's camp, Zhang Musha was sitting in the middle of the hall, drinking tea intently, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
"See the governor!" Luo Yin came to Zhang Musha and stood still, bowing down.
"Sit down. Zhang Musha said.
Luo Yin sat down cautiously on a chair beside him.
"Have you ever had any ambitions?"
Luo Yin was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Zhang Musha to suddenly ask like this, so he hesitated for a moment and replied softly: "Governor, I want to ...... I want to be a Moon Knight......"
"Oh, why do you want to be a Moon Knight?"
"Because...... Only by becoming strong and becoming a Moon Knight...... in order to protect the safety of my homeland. When he said this, the tragic scene of the Shadow Knight slaughtering Jialan's guards by the seaside of the fishing village came to his mind that night.
In addition, he thought of his uncle's disappointment and disappointment with him in the past, so he thought that if he became a Moon Knight, his uncle might not look down on them like that anymore.
"Yes, you have ambitions, and you are a malleable material!" Zhang Musha laughed when he heard this, "In this case, from tomorrow onwards, you no longer need to go out on duty with the samurai battalion, and you will be transferred to my knight guard battalion, and follow me before and after, so that I can inspect and advise you at any time." ”
When Luo Yin heard this, he was flattered, and hurriedly got up and thanked him: "How can Luo Yin be so virtuous, he is so taken care of by the governor, and I am grateful." ”
"No need to be polite, if you are really a manufacturable material, and you can become a moonlight knight, I am naturally gratified, and my clan has another talent. But if it's just mediocrity, I won't waste much time then, and you can return where you came from. ”
"Yes, Luo Yin is in mind, and he must study hard. ”
"Well, you can go. ”
Zhang Musha smiled indifferently and waved his hand. Luo Yin retired first and went out of the inner courtyard.
At this time, from the side door at the back of the hall, out of the white beard of the Heavenly Fury Mage, walked to Zhang Musha and stood still, looking at the back of Luo Yin leaving from a distance.
"I don't know what Master Master wants like this arrangement?" Zhang Musha got up and chuckled softly behind the Master.
"Very good, I am relieved to have you take care of it personally. The Heavenly Fury Mage said.
"Where, since it's the one who is personally taken care of by the Master Master, how can I sit idly by?"
"You're really a roundworm in my belly. ”
"Heh, since I entered the camp thirty years ago, I have been under the care and cultivation of your teacher, how can I not understand your mind after so many years. ”
After that, Zhang Musha laughed, and the angry mage also laughed.
said that after Luo Yin walked out of Zhang Musha's inner courtyard, he was facing the starlight all the way, and his mood seemed to be extremely excited.
He walked back along the path of the training grounds, and the barracks fell silent, except for a few night guards in armor and guns, carrying torches, roaming the camp around. In this barracks, the day is tired from drilling, and there is nothing to do at night, so everyone falls asleep at night.
But Luo Yin felt energetic at the moment, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. He was not in a hurry to return to the barracks, but felt that the stars were shining brightly and there was no wind tonight, so he walked to a small mound by the side of the training ground, and lay on the shaggy grass of the mound with his hands behind his head to look at the stars.
The twinkling starlight reminded him of those sleepless nights in the fishing village, how many nights he had been lying on his bamboo bed like this, looking at the starry sky in the distance through the window next to the bed. In the past, he used to look up at the dark blue night sky, imagining what his mother would look like, he had never seen her, and his mother died shortly after he was born. But from the occasional mention of Luoshui Han, Luoyin can feel that his mother is a gentle and beautiful woman.
So he did his best to sketch in his mind the most beautiful woman he thought she had, and he thought his mother must be more beautiful than that.
And now he was lying on the mound, looking at the starry sky, but Liu Qin'er's figure jumped out of his mind inexplicably, and his heartbeat seemed to be much faster. Luo Yin wondered, in the past, he used to hang out in the fishing village all day, and he saw each other and played in one place every day, why didn't he have this feeling. However, in Luo Yin's eyes, Liu Qin'er is also a beautiful woman, and the other girls and women in the fishing village, young and old, are not as good as Liu Qin'er.
was in a trance, and suddenly a black shadow hurriedly passed, only five steps away from Luoyin, so bluffed that Luoyin immediately turned over and said, "Who?"
The figure was frightened, and suddenly turned around, still holding a three-inch-long dagger in his hand, staring straight at Luo Yin.
Luo Yin was also startled, and when he saw this person dressed in black and masked, he immediately realized that he was an uninvited guest. He panicked for a while, and while looking at the man in black, he pondered whether to slip away or fight to the death.
"This person has the ability to sneak into this barracks, he must be very skilled, and my three-legged cat's kung fu is only afraid that it is not an opponent. Luo Yin secretly thought to himself.
Just as he was hesitating, the man in black had already jumped up, holding a dagger towards Luo Yin, and Luo Yin dodged sideways, but there was still a cut in the clothes on his chest. Fortunately, it didn't hurt the flesh and skin, but Luo Yin was shocked into a cold sweat, because the man in black made a move quickly, which made Luo Yin a little unclear.
Luo Yin immediately bowed and jumped, retreated five steps away, and quickly found the fish blade hidden behind his waist, horizontal in front of him, and pointed directly at the man in black.
The two of them each held a blade, and after three or five rounds of fighting, they gradually lost the upper hand. In a panic, the man in black kicked him twice in succession, which happened to hit Luo Yin's abdomen and kicked him to the ground. Before Luo Yin could get up, the man in black had already pounced on Luo Yin, grabbed Luo Yin's throat with one hand, and was about to stab him with a knife with the other.
Seeing that he was about to be extinguished, he instinctively closed his eyes and shouted: "Help!"
The man hurriedly covered Luoyin's mouth with his hand, so that he could not scream, but the knife held in the air suddenly hung and did not fall. Luo Yin was so frightened that he couldn't scream, only let out a dull whining sound, and looked at the man in black in front of him with his eyes wide open. found that the eyes of the man in black suddenly became hesitant, as if he had no killing intent.
At this time, they looked at each other at close range, and the man in black stared at Luo Yin's face carefully, and for some reason gave up his intention to kill him, and suddenly turned over and ran towards the city wall, and then took three steps and two steps to climb a tree branch, and one jumped out of the wall.
Escaped from death, frightened, but didn't understand why the man in black didn't kill him. But he felt that the eyebrows and eyes of the man in black seemed familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere, but he could not think of them. Before he could think about it, he heard the sound of hurried and messy footsteps, and a patrol of guards followed closely behind him near the dense forest at the camp wall.
"I saw the assassin running this way just now, and he must have climbed over the wall. ”
"Quickly open the small door in the corner, leave two people on duty, and the others will continue to chase with me!"
Hearing the conversation of the guards, Luo Yin's heart tightened, and he immediately turned over and chased in the direction of the black shadow that had just fled.
After following the guards for a while, Luo Yin came to the dense forest outside the camp, and heard the guards' excited shouts from a distance. "Look, there are blood stains on this tree, which means that the arrow was shot just now, he must have fled in this direction, this person is not lightly injured, he must not be able to run far, we continue to chase!"
In order to avoid being discovered that he left the camp without permission, Luo Yin temporarily stopped and hid himself behind a big tree. After the guards continued to run away, Luo Yin quietly followed, all the way through the woods, in the direction of the guards.
After running for a long time, suddenly there was no sound in front of them, and the group of guards was nowhere to be seen. Luo Yin was a little puzzled, so he slowed down his pace and groped his way through the moonlight in the dim forest. After walking dozens of steps, my feet were broken, as if I had tripped over something. Luo Yin got up, looked back, and was startled to see that it was the corpse of a guard. The guard's eyes widened with rage, and a slender wound on his neck had already died.
Luo Yin couldn't bear it, and slowly stretched out his hand sideways, smearing the guard's open eyelids.
Walking further, he found the corpses of several guards one after another, and Luo Yin couldn't help but feel sorry and panicked, it seems that this person is very good, and these guards are not his opponents alone. At this moment, there was a sound from the side. Luo Yin turned his head and saw that there was another guard who was sitting against a tree trunk with a bloody face, and there were several bloody wounds in his chest, and blood was gurgling. He was still holding a black veil in his hand.
Luo Yin hurriedly rushed to his side, held this person's shoulder, and said anxiously: "This big brother, if you hold on, I will carry you back to the camp!"
Unexpectedly, the guard opened his mouth and called: "It's you, Luoyin." ”
Luo Yin was stunned for a moment, carefully identifying the person's bloodstained face, and then recognized that it was Xiao Hei, who was weak at this time, and his lips were trembling. Luo Yin hurriedly hugged Xiao Hei's weak body and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Hei, I'll take you back, you must hold on." ”
Xiao Hei just shook his head weakly away, shook his head and said: "It's useless, I have several knives in my body, all of them are critical points, and before you are halfway through, I will already die of blood." ”
"But, I can't watch you die like this, don't worry, I'll stop the bleeding for you first, it will be too late. Luo Yin said in a trembling voice.
After speaking, Luo Yin wiped the tears that he couldn't hold back, and immediately ripped off his clothes, wanting to tie Xiao Hei's wound to suppress the blood.
"Hidden ...... Don't you hate me?"
Luo Yin didn't say anything, just shook his head vigorously, and then vigorously tied Xiao Hei to the bleeding part of the wound.
"Huh...... I used to always ...... Always bullying you, why are you...... Save me ......"
"Don't say it, Xiao Hei, I used to hate you, but after all, we are also partners who grew up together in the fishing village, I can't die without help, and leave you alone. Luo faintly burst into tears, and said with a smile: "So you must persevere, survive, and wait for me to settle accounts with you." ”
Xiao Hei smiled helplessly, raised his hand and handed the veil to Luo Yin, and said slowly: "When I was fighting, I ripped off, this person's veil, is it...... It's a woman. You still, go and report to the Overseers, the one who comes is not good, I am afraid that there will be a shadow...... Seeking ......"
As soon as he finished the last word, Xiao Hei spit out a mouthful of blood and swallowed.
Luo Yin pinched the veil and looked at the dead Xiao Hei's face sadly, only to feel as if a huge wave was coming, hitting his heart, holding him so that he couldn't say anything, although for more than ten years, Xiao Hei and Xiao Hei always looked at each other unpleasantly, often had quarrels and fights, and hated each other all the time, but after all, they grew up together, so when Xiao Hei suddenly died in front of him, Luo Yin was sad. The grief of facing death was more intense and breathless than the last time I witnessed the killing of a guard in a fishing village.
After sitting in the forest for a long time, Luo Yin's mood stabilized, and he slowly stood up, he looked at the black veil in his hand, put it in his arms, and then walked step by step towards the direction of the camp.
When he returned to the camp, it was already late at night, and the guards guarding the gate were shocked when they saw him walking shirtless, still stained with blood, and hurried to meet him.
"Hurry up and get someone to the dense forest, just now the assassins broke in, and they are dead...... "Luo Yin glanced at the guard, and said in a low and slow voice.
With that, he continued to walk in, like a scarecrow.
The inner courtyard of the knight's left camp, the hall, is lit by candles.
"What, there are assassins who dare to break into the camp of the southern overseers of my town. After Zhang Musha listened to Luo Yin's words, he slapped the table and said angrily.
"Could it be the Shadow Knight again?" said Liu Lingkong on the side, frowning.
"This Shesheng tribe has been too arrogant lately, first causing murder in the fishing village, and now it has broken into our camp to kill people. The Heavenly Fury Mage sighed as he twisted his beard.
"Luo Yin, just now you said that Xiao Hei's team of night vigil guards are all dead, do you know how they died?"
Luo Yin raised his head and looked at Liu Lingkong and the others: "All of them were killed by the dagger, either they were sealed by a blade, or they were suddenly inserted into their hearts." ”
"It seems that this person's martial arts are extraordinary, and he is extremely cold-blooded and ruthless, otherwise if he is just to get out, why is he such a vicious and neat killing move. Liu Lingkong frowned.
"That's right," Luo Yin took out the black veil from his arms, handed it to Liu Lingkong, and said, "This was ripped off by Xiao Hei during the fight, and he said that the one who came was a woman." And it seems that they had shot her with an arrow when they were chasing this assassin before. ”
"Women?"
When Liu Lingkong and Zhang Musha heard this, they looked at each other, and they were even more puzzled for a while, and they seemed to be even more unable to judge. However, the Heavenly Fury Mage pondered for a moment and said, "Quickly send someone to inquire about the inns or medical halls in Wutong City tomorrow to see if there are any women who have been injured by arrows, if it is a foreign assassin who has been injured by arrows, he must not be able to go far for the time being, and it is very likely that he will find a place to settle in the city first." ”
"Well, Master Mage has a point. Tomorrow morning, I will send more people to inquire about the city. Zhang Musha said.
"Without further ado, we must mobilize men and horses tonight to block all the passes in and out of Wutong City!" said the Heavenly Fury Mage.
After Luo Yin came out of Zhang Musha, he returned to his barracks in a bit of a daze, scrubbed his body, changed into clean clothes and lay on the bed, but his heart was not calm, his thoughts were full of thoughts, he looked up at the moonlight outside the window and stayed stunned for a night, so he didn't say much for the time being.
