Chapter 95: If you don't do something, you can do something
"How." After walking for half a day, Zhang Yi looked at a field and asked without looking back.
Wu Yan swallowed with some difficulty, "It's not like this here, no one cares about it."
"Who cares, you, me, the court, the gentry? This is the case in the whole Yicheng County, everyone is accustomed to it, from birth to death, who will break this order, who has the ability to break the old habits." Zhang Yi's tone was a little aggressive, "The unscrupulous man you just beat up is already extremely merciful compared to others, at least, you didn't force people to come out to work in such weather."
Wu Yan was silent, a little suspicious of what he had done today.
"If the Bu Weng family is killed, their family property will inevitably be targeted by others, and those ordinary people who could have lived a little will not just get out of the wolf's den and enter the tiger's den.
There are some things in the world that we should look at more and not just be superficial. Let those nobles who are a little more gentle, and this is the great good. Don't learn from those who talk about benevolence and righteousness, and stand on the moral high ground and point fingers, which not only does not help, but actually harms more people's lives."
"Taught." Wu Gong arched his hand. Today, I was indignant and almost made a big mistake. Therefore, it is necessary to look at one more layer and think more about things, and not to be condescending and arbitrary, so as not to do bad things with good intentions.
Walking to a crossroads, Wu Gan arched his hand, "Mr. Xie instructed, please stay, you are reckless, and the rest of the line is not arbitrary, so I will leave."
Zhang Yi smiled slightly, "It doesn't have to be like this, my heart is good after all, but the means are a little cooler." As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Ji intentionally or unintentionally.
Wu Yan knew that Chu Ji's disguise of pretending to be a boy was seen by him, but he didn't explain anything, and got on the mule and went along the way.
After walking for two days, I saw that I was almost passing through Yicheng County. After Yichun County, then turn into Yanyang, and follow the tributary of the Yao River, Tuoshui, to enter the Zhujuan country.
Mountains appeared on the horizon ahead, and these hills were the place where the two counties were divided. Even though Yicheng County is densely populated, there are fewer tea farmers here, and the famous jade narcissus tea of Zhao State is produced here.
Although these hills are not high, they are difficult to pass, and there are many rocks and thorns on the mountains, so that the crops cannot grow here, and the road is also difficult, and only a few tea paths stepped on by mules can be passed.
Wu Gen was walking on one of the mountain roads with Chu Ji at this time. There are small pits on the stone slabs on the road, which are the marks left by the hooves of the mules and horses carrying tea for many years.
The stone walls on the side of the road are wet, dripping with crystal water droplets from time to time, and finally converge together to form a spring stream, which flows downward.
Due to the abundant moisture, the mountains are cloudy and misty all year round, winding through the mountains. Such a unique environment is very suitable for the growth of tea trees, which has created the famous jade daffodil.
"Brother, you're feeling better." Chu Ji's voice rang out.
Wu Yan carefully brushed away the dew from the tip of her hair, and comforted: "Okay, it's almost there, don't worry, after crossing this mountain, we will arrive at Yanyang County, and when we reach Zhujuan Country, we will have a good rest."
Along the way, day and night, there was no time to rest, and the injuries suffered by the lightning strike never healed, as long as the qi and blood surge were more intense, the pain was unbearable.
Walking to the top of the mountain, the fog has lightened a little, and the sun is shining on my body, which is a lot warmer. Next to a mountain spring on the side of the road, a tea farmer resting between busy hours is scooping water to make tea. Seeing the arrival of the two, he warmly invited him to come forward to taste.
There is a lot of humidity in the mountains, and drinking more of this tea can drive away the cold and relieve dampness. The green soup in the coarse black cup is lightly rippling, the tea is fragrant and refreshing, and the whole body becomes warm and full of warmth after a mouthful.
After the seven cups of tea were eaten, Wu Yan found that the pain caused by the lightning strike in his body had been alleviated a little, and he couldn't help but become interested in this jade narcissus.
Just as he wanted to drink it again, the tea farmer with a red face and bare feet stopped him, "Although the jade narcissus is good, you should not drink too much, and it is advisable to use seven lamps. After seven days, eat some refreshments so that you don't hurt yourself." As he spoke, he handed over a few rice cakes.
The two were talking, Chu Ji suddenly raised his head and said with some confusion, "That big bird is so weird."
Wu Gan's heart moved, and he raised his head and looked up, through the clouds
In the fog, a strange big bird is hovering in the air.
It is more like a bird, but it is a small boat, and there is a bird's head in the bow, and the dark hull of the boat looks very strange. It was also the first time for Wu Yan to see such a strange ship, so he squinted his eyes and looked up.
The strange ship flew lower and lower, and the vicious bird's head was clearly visible.
"Not good." Suddenly, Wu Yan let out a secret cry, and he was about to run down the mountain after grabbing the first Ji. Fang just poked out a head from the side of the boat, the mask on his face was very familiar, who could it be if it wasn't the secret guard of Jinchun Palace.
Just as he wanted to take a step, Wu Yan suddenly stopped his steps and blocked Chu Ji under him.
If he fled at this time, would he not be exposed, and how could a mule run over this strange ship? His hand gripped the handle of the broken knife tightly, and his body tensed, just hoping that the person above would not come down.
Afraid of something, the strange ship flew lower and lower, and gradually reached the top of everyone's heads.
"I can't run." Wu Yan frowned and motioned for Chu Ji to get ready.
"Boom", a masked guard jumped from the ship, holding a broadsword, and looked at everyone coldly. In the end, his eyes fell on Wu Gen and Chu Ji.
The Dark Guard stepped back, screaming as another Dark Guard probes, ready to jump off the ship.
Before the other party could fall, a black shadow flashed, and Wu Yan pounced like an ostrich towards the dark guard who had landed earlier. At this time, you must not let the opponent form a flanking attack.
The Dark Guard is an underground force painstakingly managed by King Jinchun, and is only under the orders of one of them. These people are either martial arts masters or cultivators, and their skills are extraordinary. What is particularly difficult is that these people never show face, rarely fight alone, and most of them cooperate with several people.
Among them, there are both qi practitioners and warriors, and some are mixed with orcs or celestials. After years of running-in, mutual cooperation and tacit understanding, no matter the distance attack and close combat, there are corresponding means.
This combination is more powerful than a simple martial artist or a qi practitioner. Generally speaking, the same number of opponents, as long as the strength is not much different, most of them are won by the dark guard, and even the opponents with stronger strength can be counter-killed, which is the trump card in Zhao Chang's hands, and he will not be sent easily.
This time, Wu Gen fled and sent so many secret guards, which shows the weight of Zhao Chang's killing intent.
The swords intersected, and the secret guard turned out to be a martial arts master for many years, and the broadsword in his hand was made of unknown materials, humming and trembling, and it actually canceled out the first three slashes of the sky, like a knife slashed on cotton, and he was powerless.
Seeing that the other party blocked a blow and his own move was old, Wu Yan had no choice but to ignore the pain, secretly strengthen his luck and blood, and reluctantly send out the fourth blow.
Under the blow, Wu Gan's arm was numb, and his throat was nauseous, and the opponent's strength was definitely not weaker than his own. Moreover, the internal injuries caused by lightning strikes have been difficult to remove the root these days, which is also the reason why they dare not rashly issue five slashes.
The two of them mistook slightly, and at the same time deceived themselves. It seems that the other party is also a good fighter, and as soon as he retreats at this time, his momentum will be weak, and he will inevitably fall into defeat under the rise of one or the other.
After a round of fighting, Wu Gen couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart. This is just an ordinary secret guard, if there are so many good hands hidden in the palace, what does King Jinchun want. Fortunately, he got out of the palace early, otherwise he would have been killed in the future.
But at the moment, if you can't beat your opponent, it's still a dead end.
Wu Yan was anxious in his heart, looking at the other secret guard who had been running towards him after landing, fighting to aggravate the internal injuries in his body, and slashing out the fivefold slash.
The airflow on the top of the mountain is stagnant, and the sense of desolation spreads. The tragic meaning of the hero's apocalypse but unwilling to sink, and the tragic meaning of struggling to strike a blow on the verge of death instantly soaked the hearts of the people present.
A brilliant red light bloomed, gradually forming an arc. In the eyes of the sword-wielding guard, the red arc was like a life-threatening noose, slowly coming to his neck, but he couldn't move.
All this is verbose, but in the eyes of others, it is only a matter of a moment, and Wu Yan has already arrived at the side of the sword-wielding secret guard. At this time, even if another secret guard tried to step forward, it would be difficult to save his companion.
With a muffled cry, at the moment of life and death, the sword-wielding dark guard tried his best to suppress the opponent's strange sword intent, and the broadsword was erected in front of him, hoping to block the opponent's blow.
The broken knife fell, piercing the opponent's qi and falling on the broadsword.
The broadsword trembled sharply, trying to ease the momentum
The impulse of Yue pressing the top. The sword body swung at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and the amplitude became larger and larger, and with a click, the hard broadsword was broken in two.
The dark guard's eyes turned red, and blood seeped out from under the skin under the huge shock.
Although the broadsword has been broken, it has blocked the coming of the blocking knife after all. The sword-wielding secret guard was also decisive, threw away the broken sword, and leaned forward, regardless of his injuries, and hugged Wu Gan to the death.
Wu Gen is in a hurry, if it is alone, it will be fine, there is a secret guard behind him. The broken knife fell, stabbing into the back.
At this moment, Wu Gan's eyes went dark, and a net made of unknown things came and fell on himself and the secret guard.
The net is unusually tough and has thin barbs on it. As soon as the stab enters the body, the qi and blood in the body are disordered, and it is difficult to hold even the broken knife.
Seeing this, the secret guard who was holding on to Wu Gan hurriedly urged, "Quick, kill him, I can't hold it anymore."
The dark guard who threw the net leaned forward and rushed towards the two of them, drawing a short-edged sword from his arm, the tip of which shimmered with blue light.
Wu Gen was tightly hugged at this time, and he was wrapped in the net, and when he saw the other party running, he slammed his head into the secret guard who was entangled with him in a hurry.
Under the pain, the other party still did not let go, but laughed again and again.
When there was nothing to be done, a soft groan rose up, "Pengshan is separated by ten thousand times."
A mist shaped like a mountain appeared out of thin air above the head of the running dark guard, and as soon as this thing appeared, it quickly condensed, and a heavy meaning came, pressing everyone present a little breathless.
This heaviness, which originates from the bottom of the heart, acts on the physical body, invisible but tangible.
The running Dark Guard snorted and tried to turn around and dodge. But after turning in a few directions, the feeling that it was bound to be suppressed became stronger and stronger. This means, unlike the real thing, there is nowhere to avoid it, and there is no way to avoid it, as if it is connected to one's own body, and it is destined to be hit by it. c
I realized in my heart that I had met a master.
In desperation, the dark guard had no choice but to throw away the knife in his hand. With a burst of applause, scaly hard objects appeared on his body, his body swelled several times, and even his face became narrow.
His hands turned into sharp claws and reached into the invisible mist, which actually held the momentum of the mist's fall.
Obviously, this is an orc, I don't know what kind of blood, but it is extremely powerful, and its body has become hard and abnormal.
"It's as heavy as a thousand pounds." With another soft groan, the dark guard only felt that the tremendous force on his arms had increased more than tenfold, and his body was slowly bent, and his whole body made an overwhelming creaking sound.
Eventually, with a scream, the guard was crushed to the ground and unable to move, except for his exposed feet twitching twice from time to time.
Seeing that the threat was lifted, Wu Gen was overjoyed, and simply hugged the secret guard under him and smashed it down with a hammer. Finally, the body of the secret guard under him became paralyzed, and the hands that were holding Wu Gan's body also hung down.
Hula, the eyes lit up, and the net covering the body was torn off. Wu Yan looked up and saw that it was Zhang Yi standing in front of him.
