Chapter 11: Night Kill
The night was deep, and the county town of Yuyao in the darkness was silent, and the silence was terrifying.
Outside the southern city, in a depression by the moat, several dark shadows crawled or lay on the overgrown ground, looking in the direction of the city gate from time to time.
"Siming, why hasn't there been any movement for so long?"
In the darkness, a dark shadow whispered.
"How do I know, just wait."
Zheng Siming's tone was also a little impatient.
"Why don't we swim over and figure it out ourselves?"
It's the black shadow of the question just now, and it seems to be an acute child.
"In the middle of the line, you don't have to ask. Siming is worried in his heart! ”
Another dark shadow joined in.
"I'm also in a hurry. Although He Yao has a bright brain, he is timid. If something happens to him, Xiao Ning will also be in trouble. ”
Li Xingzhong hurriedly explained.
In fact, he is usually quite calm, but when it comes to major events, he is upset, and he has a typical unstable temperament.
I said that four people would come together, but only three came. is already weak, in case Wang Heyao's strategy doesn't work and he folds in the city, wouldn't it be a chicken and an egg, and he will lose his wife and soldiers?
"According to me, you shouldn't listen to Heyao. Why don't you swim over, then climb the city wall and steal all your heads! ”
Li Xingzhong was anxious again.
"That's a nice thing to say, the city wall is so high, how can you climb it? In case it is discovered by the officers and soldiers in the city gate tower, it will be troublesome. Those dog thieves, but they have firecrackers! ”
Zhao Guohao obviously disagreed with Li Xingzhong's recklessness.
"So what do you say? Wait a minute, it'll be dawn! ”
"It's still early in the morning!"
Li Xingzhong and Zhao Guohao quarreled in a low voice, and Zheng Siming hurriedly stopped him in a low voice.
"Don't make any noise, or you will be discovered by the officers and soldiers!"
Zheng Siming's words made the quarrel between the other two people suddenly quiet.
"Heyao, is it okay?"
After a moment, Li Xingzhong couldn't help but talk to himself.
"Li Xingzhong, his brother is adventuring in the city, can you keep your mouth shut?"
Zhao Guohao's voice unconsciously rose higher.
"Don't talk about it! Wait a little longer, and if that doesn't work, swim over and do it! ”
Zheng Siming softly stopped the two.
At this time, he was up and down in his heart, hoping that his sister and Wang Heyao would succeed, but also hoping that they would not come, so as not to be captured by the official army.
However, he never doubted Wang Heyao. The few times this kid knocked him down, he inexplicably gave him hope.
The three black shadows fell silent, and there was silence in heaven and earth, except for the chirping of insects.
A few days ago, bandits were in the city, both sides opened a killing ring, the city curfew, the people were strictly forbidden to go out at night.
However, in the Nanming Gate of Nancheng, the lights are bright at the moment, and several officers and soldiers are pushing Pai Gow to gamble.
They don't seem to have anything else to do but gamble.
"He's Niang's, and he's lost again!"
An officer and soldier threw the pai gow in his hand on the table, threw a string of copper coins on the table, and scolded fiercely.
"Lao Wang, you can't lose money if you lose money. Besides, most of the time you win, and it's time for you to lose! ”
An officer and soldier laughed while collecting money.
"He's Niang's, it's for the girl of "Drunken Spring Building"! ”
Lao Wang laughed, grabbed Pai Gow, and restored the demeanor of the God of Gamblers.
"This time, Lao Tzu will sit in the village and win to death a few of your turtle sons!"
Before the old ace nine was piled up, an officer and soldier stood up and said suspiciously:
"Listen, is there a sound outside?"
"You kid, what's ...... there"
Before Lao Wang finished speaking, he pricked up his ears, and then looked surprised.
"It seems that there are people, and they are still women!"
Several officers and soldiers stood up, pushed open the door and walked out.
Sure enough, under the city wall, a woman was standing in front of the city gate hole, shouting loudly.
"Official, open the city gate, the slave family has something urgent to go out!"
"Turn on the lights!"
Lao Wang gave an order, several officers and soldiers lit the lamp, and the city gate tower suddenly lit up.
Several officers and soldiers stood on the city wall, poked their heads out of the battlements, lit lanterns, and looked down together
"Little lady, as soon as it gets dark, you can't enter or leave the city gate, this is the rule of the county government. If the gates of the city are opened, and the bandits from outside the city come in, they will be killed! ”
After Lao Wang finished speaking, he looked carefully through the light, but a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a fair complexion, thin eyebrows and fine eyes, and a slender body swinging willows, made Lao Wang's heart feel crisp.
How can those goods in Zuichun Building compare to this little lady?
"Official, I was widowed at a young age and missed the nightstay, if I don't go back, my mother-in-law will beat me to death! You can do it, let me out! ”
The woman snorted and cried.
"Who knows if what you're saying is true or not?"
Lao Wang's heart was itching, and when he looked into the city, it was dark, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
"You say you are widowed, who believes? If I don't let Lao Wang try it, I will know the truth or falsehood! ”
In the dead of night, the woman's pretty body stood there, and the old king's lust was overflowing, and he began to laugh at the woman.
The peony flower dies, and the ghost is also romantic. If he can have a spring breeze with such a good woman, he is willing to live ten years less.
"That is, you said that you are widowed, how can you know if it is true or false without inspection! You went out of town so late, you wouldn't be looking for an old man, right? ”
Another officer and soldier also played tricks.
"You babble!"
The woman pointed to the head of the city and began to cry.
"Anyway, it's death, if you don't let me out of the city, I'll crash to death on the city gate!"
The woman threw away the burden in her hand, and it seemed that she was going to find a short-term view.
"Don't, don't! You don't have to go out of the city gate, we can let you out of the city! ”
Lao Wang walked to the other side of the city wall, glanced outside the city, turned back again, and pointed at two of the officers and soldiers.
"You two are watching from above, Zhang Er, you go down with me to have a look!"
Lao Wang and Zhang Er left the city gate tower, holding a long knife in their hands, playing a lantern, and walked down the horse road on the side of the city gate tower.
The two officers and soldiers on the city wall looked at each other and shook their heads.
Lao Wang, this guy, is going to eat alone again.
"Open the gates! What are you doing? ”
Seeing Lao Wang and the others coming down, with a lewd smile on their faces, the woman was frightened and retreated straight to the city gate.
"Little lady, I'll open the city gate for you!"
Lao Wang picked up the lantern and took a look at the city gate hole, there was no ghost, his eyes explored the woman's white face and pretty body, and his mind immediately came to life.
"Don't blame it!"
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you to jail again!"
Lao Wang slowly approached the woman, and the woman seemed to be frightened by Lao Wang, so she only trembled and forgot to shout. Soon, the two of them writhed in the hole in the city gate.
Zhang Er shook his head and turned around, looking vigilant, but in fact, he pricked up his ears and listened to the movement in the city gate.
"Official, don't do this! I'm going to shout someone! ”
"Don't be afraid, you'll be comfortable in a while! Don't shout, or I'll cut you down as a bandit! ”
The sound of fighting in the cave of the city gate was heard, the screams and cries of the women continued, and the two officers and soldiers on the city wall laughed.
Lao Wang, this guy is going to be happy again.
While the two of them were laughing, a dark shadow jumped out from the darkness on the other side of the city gate cave and entered the city gate hole.
Wang Heyao came in suddenly, Zhang Er, who was listening to the movement with his ears pricked up, didn't have time to react, he was hit two or three times in the chest, his eyes stared at the boss, the lantern in his hand fell, Wang Heyao quickly caught it, and the lantern leaned against the wall.
Lao Wang was impatiently untying Zheng Ning's belt. He really didn't expect that this woman was still wearing pants under her skirt, tied with a dead knot, and it was difficult to untie it for a while. The sound of Wang and Yao assassinating Zhang Er came, the light of the lantern changed, and Lao Wang was shocked, and wanted to turn his head to check, but his body was dragged by Zheng Ning.
Before Lao Wang could shout, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, and then someone covered his mouth, and the knife was inserted from his neck, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't make a sound anymore.
Wang Heyao gently put down Lao Wang's body, and he killed two officials in a row, looking calm, as if nothing had happened.
Wang Heyao helped Zheng Ning up and said in a low voice:
"Keep shouting!"
Zheng Ning's face turned red and he screamed again.
"Don't do that! Yes...... Hmmm......"
Wang Heyao was unhurried and changed into the official uniforms of officers and soldiers.
"You stare up there, I'll go down!"
An officer and soldier scratched the itch, put down the firearm, did not draw the sword, and hurriedly ran under the city wall.
As soon as the officers and soldiers entered the city gate, they faced a short knife and stabbed him in the chest, his eyes stared at the boss, the other party pulled out the knife, blood splattered, the other party avoided it, and helped him against the wall.
Wang Heyao changed his clothes, lowered his hat, and was about to leave the city gate, but was stopped by Zheng Ning.
"You chase me, I'll do the rest!"
Zheng Ning snatched the short knife from Wang Heyao's hand, hid it in his sleeve, and ran out.
Wang Heyao was stunned for a moment and followed closely.
He didn't understand, how could a girl behave like this? But there was only one officer and soldier left, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
One-on-one hand-to-hand combat, he, a former fighter, is still somewhat sure.
"Don't do that!"
Zheng Ning cried and went to the city wall, the "officers and soldiers" Wang Heyao chased closely behind, the officers and soldiers above were surprised, Zheng Ning had already run to him, the officers and soldiers hurriedly blocked it, and stretched out their arms to hug it.
The little lady is disheveled, maybe she has been harmed by the old king. You can't miss it!
The two made physical contact, and the officers and soldiers were also stabbed in the chest, and he was in severe pain, and was just about to shout, when Wang Heyao in the back caught up and punched the officers and soldiers in the throat.
Zheng Ning's face was pale, and he couldn't stab the knife, so he was snatched by Wang Heyao and made up a few strokes on the chests of the officers and soldiers who were frozen.
"That one is your daddy's head?"
"I don't know if it's all over the place!"
Looking at the six or seven heads hanging on the city wall, Zheng Ning was also in trouble.
"Take it all, go back and identify it!"
Wang Heyao took off the wooden cages, opened them one by one, took out all the heads, and three or four braids, divided into two piles, which were easy to take.
The city gate was opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and when the two arrived at the city gate, Wang and Yao handed the two piles of human heads to Zheng Ning.
"Brother Yao, aren't you going out of the city with me?"
Zheng Ning was carrying a large number of heads, carrying two firecrackers on her back, hanging a long knife, and a large pile of copper coins and silver scavenged from the baggage, she looked at Wang Heyao and was reluctant.
"If I go back, the government will find out soon, and it's not good for anyone."
Wang Heyao waved his hand, and Zheng Ning reluctantly left.
Wang Heyao shook his head. It is really sighing that a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl wants to do these dangerous things of licking blood with a knife.
Before Zheng Ning walked to the drawbridge, Zheng Siming, Zhao Guohao, and Li Xingzhong greeted him.
"Got it?"
Zheng Siming looked towards the gate of the city, it was dark and swarthy, and he couldn't see Wang Heyao's figure.
"Nothing, right?"
"Big brother, it's okay! Brother Yao may have left! ”
All three of them had their hearts beating wildly, and they took over the human head and the fire knife and other things.
"Siming, don't look at it, let's go quickly!"
Li Xingzhong pulled Zheng Siming, and everyone couldn't wait to leave this land of right and wrong.
Wang Heyao waved at the darkness outside the city, turned and entered the city, leaving only the gates wide open and an indescribable dead silence.
Back at Huang Junsen's home, Huang Junsen was at a loss and fell asleep. Wang Heyao returned to the backyard, washed it, took off his clothes and lay down, but he couldn't sleep.
He didn't expect that he was killing people like hemp, and he wasn't afraid at all. This may have something to do with his strong psychological quality of guarding the frontier. It may also be because these are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they have no psychological baggage.
The more important reason is that he hates the braids on the back of his head. The reason is also very simple, seeing thousands of Han people with braided hair, his heart will hurt, and his heart will hurt.
Han culture has been up and down for 5,000 years, and the Han people have never had the habit of keeping braids, from ancient times to the present.
And he is a Han man through and through.
