Chapter 5 Sudden Mutation of the Fishing Village
At the entrance of Feiyu Village, a team of more than 200 Imperial Army soldiers led by the Night Dragon Guard was entering the village. Led by the www.biquge.info of the Eight Great Bronze Envoys of the Night Dragon Guard, he turned to the Imperial soldiers behind him and gave an order: "You disperse, and I will drive all the people in the whole village to the open space in the middle, and no one will be missing." If anyone resists, they will be killed!"
"Yes!" more than 200 soldiers dispersed, and drove the people out of the village from house to house, and all of them gathered in the open space in the middle of the village.
"What are the Imperial Army doing in the village? Is it going to fight?" Wei Yi hadn't reacted yet, it was the first time in so many years that he had heard of an army coming to the village, after all, Flying Fish Village was really a place with a lot of horns.
"I felt like I was looking for someone, otherwise I wouldn't have let everyone in the village out. Zhao Dajiang said while panting.
"You're looking for me!" Chen Zhen knew that at this time, he could no longer hide his identity.
"Huh?" Wei Yi and Zhao Dajiang were shocked at the same time, but Wei Yi immediately realized that his grandfather was a star disciple. Could it be that the Imperial Army knew his identity and came to arrest him?
"Old man, what are you looking for? You're not a lawbreaker!" The fishermen on the seashore have never seen anything in the world, and their temperament is simple, and they naturally believe whatever Chen Zhen says. This point made Chen Zhen even more unhappy.
"Da Jiang, old man, I can't stand you, especially Wei Lin. You saved my life, and I kept it a secret from you. In fact, most of what I told you is true, but my young master is none other than Xiang Aochu, the head of the "Chu Feng Regiment", the "Black Lion" who has recently become very famous in Chuhai Prefecture. And what I encountered on the road was not a rebel, but one of Emperor Hongyu's personal guards, the Night Dragon Guard. Chen Zhen revealed his identity to Wei Yi and Zhao Dajiang at this time, and he was not afraid that they would be frightened.
"Ah, old man, you are a traitor...... Oh no, it's the rebels......! This...... The Imperial Army must have known about you in the village, which is why they have sent so many people to arrest you. I see that there are more than 200 people outside!" Zhao Dajiang, a middle-aged man who is usually full of pride, is also at a loss at this time. "My brother is not here, this ...... What should I do?"
"Grandpa, you run quickly, you can't let the Imperial Army catch you!" These days of close contact, Wei Yi knows that although Chen Zhen is a rebel, he is definitely not a bad guy who does evil.
"Yes, go to the port right away, I don't think they have arrived at the port yet. I'll send you to sea at once!" Zhao Dajiang reacted suddenly, this may be the only way to escape from the Imperial Army's search. He knew that if Wei Lin was there, he would definitely help the old man.
"No, the people of the Night Dragon Guard must be unscrupulous in order to complete the mission. Now that they know I'm here, they're not going to give up. If you can't find me, you may be embarrassed. "Chen Zhen has heard more or less about the deeds of Ye Longwei, they are all a group of assassins who specialize in assassination, how can they care about the lives of ordinary people.
"What can they do to us? We are all good citizens! And we haven't broken the law, can't they still arrest us?" Zhao Dajiang was a little unconvinced. Chen Zhen thought to himself, if it was just to catch people, it would be good. Night Dragonguard's methods are not so simple.
"You don't need to say it, I know it in my heart. Let's sneak over together to see what's going on. As he spoke, he had already scurried along the edge of the coconut grove towards the middle of the village.
Wei Yi and Zhao Dajiang reacted, and it was too late to stop him, so they had to follow closely behind.
In the open space in the middle of the village, all the villagers were gathered together, surrounded by more than 200 imperial soldiers. On the high platform to the west, there stood a team of night dragon guards in black suits and black hoods. Everyone acted in unison, one hand always holding on to the dragon head dagger on the left thigh, feeling ready to unsheath and kill at any time. The wearing of the terrifying brass mask in the center, with his hands behind his back, looked down at everything in the audience, his eyes were full of terrifying killing intent, and this atmosphere made the villagers below a little nervous.
When they were bold enough to start talking, some people shouted at the stage: "Ladies and gentlemen, what are you doing here? We are all people who keep to ourselves, and we have not done anything to break the law, so why did we all rush here without saying anything!"
"Shut up!" Li, who was standing on the stage, shouted loudly. The audience immediately fell silent, and the villagers were frightened when they saw this kind of formation.
"After verification, your Feiyu Village harbored a rebel of the "Chu Feng Regiment", and today we are here to arrest this person. If you cooperate and let us find this person as soon as possible, then you have nothing to do with it; if you can't find it, or if someone helps the rebels against us, you are all rebel accomplices, and all of them are capital crimes! After all, the Night Dragon Guards are the backbone of the Imperial Army, all of whom survived with their lives on the battlefield of nine deaths, not to mention the Bronze Imperial Envoy level, once these people show their killing intent, it is easy to affect the surrounding people.
Inexplicable fear began to creep through the crowd...... No one dared to make any sound anymore, and there was a deathly silence, and the adults covered the children's mouths one after another, for fear that the children would cry out because they were afraid.
"Listen up! A few days ago, did you save an old man in his 60s from the sea in your village who was seriously injured? This old man is one of the leaders of Chu Fengtuan. Today, no matter who among you saved him, or whose house he is in now, I will not care to you, and those who do not know are not guilty. As long as you hand over this old man, you will be safe. Otherwise......" Li glanced at a rooster on the right side of the stage, which was eating on the ground.
"Smack!" no one could see what was going on, a dagger of the dragon's head had already nailed the rooster to the ground, and the rooster did not even make a sound, only the two paws were still shaking. Blood flowed down the dagger.
"Wow......" Finally, there was a child who was closer to the platform, and he couldn't help crying. Then, the chain reaction began, and the whole crowd became noisy, all kinds of cries, comforts, and whispers, and people obviously knew that what this group of imperial troops were looking for was the old man that Wei Lin had rescued.
"Master, I know that person!" Someone finally stepped forward, and the crowd fell silent again, except for a few child sobs, everyone looked at the man in silence.
"Master Jun, I am Langzhong in this village, after that person was rescued, I was the one who treated him!"
Everyone was shocked, this Meng Langzhong is usually a good brother of Wei Lin, why was he the first to come out as a traitor at this time. But everyone didn't dare to say anything, in fact, who hasn't wavered and tangled in psychology, everyone is afraid of death!
"Very well, you say, where is that old man now?" Li's tone softened slightly, as some encouragement to the cooperative villager.
"Master Jun, the old man suffered a very serious internal injury and spent several days in the village. Unfortunately, it was early this morning that one of the villagers in our village sent me back to the town. said that he was going to find some young master. Meng Langzhong walked in front of the Night Dragon Guard as he spoke, groveling, showing his best to please him.
"Oh?" Leaned over and stared into Meng Langzhong's eyes.
Everyone in the audience sweated in their hearts, and everyone now knew that Lao Meng was lying, and wanted to trick these people from the imperial army into leaving the village. Everyone knew that only Wei Lin and his wife went to the town market in the morning, and they did not take the old man with them.
At this moment, one of the Night Dragon Guards standing in the back walked up to Li's side and said a few words in his ear. Then he smiled, stood up, and paced lightly on the platform.
"Do you think I'm scaring you?" said it lightly, like a joke. But before the words fell, another dagger flew out and stabbed Meng Langzhong's heart.
"Ahh
"Ah...... Ah...... "The crowd could no longer control their emotions and had completely collapsed. Who has watched the murder like this, the one who was fine just now, is gone in the blink of an eye. Many of the women had fallen to the ground with their legs limp.
In the coconut grove behind the clearing, Wei Yi's face was pale, and he saw all the scene just now. That's a living person, or Uncle Meng, who usually treats himself very well. How many times he was sick, he helped his father take care of himself. Looking at him lying in a pool of blood now, Wei Yi felt a sense of suffocation.
"Brute!" Chen Zhen was already full of remorse at this time, regretting his slightest fluke and hesitation, but in the end he buried Meng Langzhong's life;
"I'm here! I have nothing to do with them, and I am not allowed to hurt innocent people again!" Chen Zhen did not have the slightest slackness, and rushed out of the coconut grove directly. If innocent people are sacrificed because of themselves, then they will really become sinners through the ages.
The audience was silent for a few seconds, and then the Night Dragon Guard on the stage instantly moved. "Whoosh...... Sou...... Whoosh...... "Several daggers had already flown over from all directions, and then several black shadows quickly rushed towards Chen Zhen's direction.
Although Chen Zhen does not have combat abilities, he has been practicing martial arts with Xiang Aochu's grandfather Xiang Lingtian since he was a child. The Night Dragon Guard can only be regarded as a stronger soldier, not a star disciple with the ability of the Dragon Star. Therefore, Chen Zhen can still fight.
Three or four black shadows surrounded Chen Zhen, and his body was fast. Night Dragons is already good at assassination, so body style is one of the key aspects of his training. When fighting, they don't hit hard at all, they are all in rapid movement, and suddenly attack with a short dagger, whether it hits or misses, and immediately moves away again. If the opponent reacts slowly, or the body can't keep up, it is easy to be stabbed to the point, and there is no time to even fight back.
Chen Zhen had no weapons at this time, relying on non-stop dodging and cooperating with the Xiang family's "Dipping Leaf Fist" to counterattack. This set of boxing methods pays attention to the gentle and gentle boxing, and the force is in the point. The punch is not fast, but when he seized the opportunity, he suddenly exerted his strength in an instant, and the force was stopped, and he would never drag the mud and water, just against the "Dragon Knife Method" of the Night Dragon Guard. And the two sides are fighting to see who can catch a more accurate point and hit each other.
Li didn't make a move, just stood in the distance and watched quietly. Suddenly, with a hand raised to the outside of the field, all the soldiers of the Imperial Army who were originally surrounding the villagers surrounded them, surrounding the battle situation between Chen Zhen and Ye Longwei in the middle, three layers outside and three layers inside, and the water could not be leaked.
At this time, the villagers on the periphery realized that they were still in this terrible battlefield, and the timid ones quickly ran outside and dispersed. The Night Dragon Guard had already found its target, so naturally he had no time to take care of these ordinary people, so he let them disperse.
In the field, Chen Zhen defeated five with one enemy, and even relied on his hard fists to seriously injure the two Night Dragon Guards to the ground, lying on the side and unable to get up. But due to his previous internal injuries, he was already showing fatigue, and he could barely avoid the vital attack. But the body has been scratched by the dagger with several blood marks. The remaining three Night Dragon Guards had also seen that Chen Zhen was tired, and suddenly increased their speed, attacking more frequently, and blood splashed frequently wherever the dagger went.
"......Whoosh" suddenly flew into the sky above the entire battle situation, and a dagger flew in rapidly, pointing directly at Chen Zhen's head. Chen Zhen, who had been dealing with the five Night Dragon Guards, suddenly felt the killing intent above his head, and retreated again and again, losing his defense behind his back, and received two stabs. The two blood holes on his back instantly began to gush out non-stop.
A dagger pierced the ground in front of Chen Zhen, and then fell into the battle circle. "I can't see it, you old thing has reached this level, and you can still dodge my sneak attack, you do have some ability. As he spoke, he pulled out his dagger from the ground and flicked the mud with his hand.
Chen Zhen was already covered in scars at this time, his body was getting slower and slower, and his fists could no longer keep up with the speed of several night dragon guards around him. Seeing that at this time, there was another night dragon guard bronze envoy who sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and his heart was really miserable, and he thought that he would lose his life here.
"I want to live, you should be careful, you can lose arms and legs, but if you want to save your life, I still have a use!"
"Let go of my grandfather!"
In this quiet battlefield where only the sound of fists and knives remained, a child's voice suddenly sounded, so immature, so pure, but so angry!
Everyone was stunned, even the three Night Dragon Guards who were besieging Chen Zhen and Li, who had been sweeping the formation, stopped because of this voice. At that moment, Chen Zhenhu's figure turned around and rushed towards the direction where Wei Yi was. The right shoulder was pushed out, the footwork changed, and the move "Wild Bull Rushing to the Sky" forcibly surrounded the imperial soldiers around him, rushed horizontally and vertically, broke a big hole, and crossed out of the encirclement.
"What's going on!" Away from the first reaction, his figure flashed and chased out.
Not far away, Chen Zhen, who was covered in blood, stood beside Wei Yi, looking at this weak child in shock, only to see that his eyes were full of anger, and his body was shrouded in the golden dragon star qi, and he shook wildly, as if he was ready to explode at any time. From this anger, Chen Zhen felt sadness, which was the sadness of losing a loved one. Meng Langzhong's death made Wei Yi fall into emotional madness.
