Chapter 57: A Swift Knife
Avoiding the oncoming slash, Zhen Ru was careless, her shoulder was still cut open, and a striking blood mark appeared on the delicate white skin under the tear of her clothes, she swept away a few soldiers who came over, and could only run towards the other end of the corridor.
In the end, she still pulled out her sword, but her martial arts were not proficient, and she couldn't keep up with the footsteps of the old steward, but she was a little stretched against a soldier.
She suddenly remembered what the old woman she had invited to teach her martial arts had said.
"Military soldiers, and the rivers and lakes are different, although their hands are stained with blood, but one is to catch and fight, the other is to wield a knife in thousands of troops, the two may be as ruthless, but the soldiers will have a real penetration into the bones of the fierce and not afraid of death, this kind of evil spirit can only be found when you climb back from the pile of dead, so what is the use of martial arts? When encountering a military formation, the same is said to be death. ”
It's a pity that I didn't listen to these words back then, the business didn't do well, the martial arts didn't practice well, I didn't do much with people over the years, and even if I did, I just had a discussion, and as a result, today's pair of soldiers guarding the border are not very obedient with the sword in their hands.
At this time, a young man in armor who seemed to have a high status also saw Zhen Ru's figure, and asked the soldiers to deal with the old man who was a little piercing, and he himself chased Zhen Ru in the corridor, and he also got straight to the point:
"Today, these people can't get out of this inn, but my eldest brother has taken a fancy to you, as long as you are knowledgeable and obediently accompany my eldest brother for a few nights, these people will be able to survive half of them, and the goods will be kept for you as much as possible, so that you can have a way to live, you don't feel at a loss, with the help of my eldest brother, your caravan will be unimpeded in the future, this is also a blessing in disguise, what a blessing, isn't it?"
Zhen Ru covered her shoulders and sneered as she ran away: "It's a good calculation, the little woman admires it very much!" ”
"Don't toast and don't eat and drink! If I annoy me, knock you out and throw you on the eldest brother's bed, and when the eldest brother finishes eating, I will throw you into the barracks, and then what will happen to you, I will weigh it myself! ”
Zhen Ru felt sad in her heart, how could these people be so disgusting? She paused and gritted her teeth fiercely: "Tell Zhou Hao for me and let him eat!" ”
Glancing at Zhen Ru's figure fiercely, the young man licked his lips, and wanted to tease a few more words, but a knife light came out of the suddenly opened door, which startled the young man, and he jumped a step backwards, but he was relieved - because the knife was too slow.
The door opened, and Gu Huai, who was carrying a knife, walked out, looked at the knife in his hand, and laughed at himself: "I can't kill you if you plot it... It's really a shame, I'm afraid I'll have to practice kung fu when I go back this time. ”
"Martial arts training must be from a young age, you are too old, no matter how hard you try, it will be difficult to enter the hall."
Another voice sounded, but it made people feel a little cold, and the expressionless young eunuch also walked out of the door, the knife in his hand still dripping blood.
The young man in armor glanced at the corpses of several soldiers in the room, only to feel a cold air rushing to his head, and he took two steps back: "Who are you?" ”
"I said I was just passing through, do you believe it?" Gu Huai rubbed his eyebrows, "These things... I really didn't intend to get involved. ”
Zhen Ru, who stopped on the side, gritted her teeth, and secretly said that she was not wrong about this person.
thought it was a righteous move, but these words directly exposed his true nature.
"What are you looking at me like that? Think I'm talking ugly? Gu Huai met Zhen Ru's gaze, "Why do you ask a completely irrelevant passer-by to be responsible for what you encountered, or even give your life?" ”
"But they are also people in the rivers and lakes..."
"Jianghu?" Gu Huai smiled, "The tide of the times is rolling forward, do business well, why do you have to have this kind of dream and not wake up?" ”
"You..."
Gu Huai didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore, but turned his head to look at Ren Wanbin: "Before, the carriage and horses traveled the goods, and they also walked this line, have you ever encountered such a thing?" ”
Ren Wanbin was stunned: "No, the owner... The previous owner spent money to make a point, and the signboard of the carriage and horse dealer could pass directly. ”
"I was going to deal with it when I came back... But now I suddenly find out that I don't have much money," Gu Huai smiled, "It is estimated that Zhou Chong will not be too easy to speak." ”
Zhou Chong is the name of the captain of Yimaling, and when he saw the person in front of him calling him so bluntly, his tone was full of disdain, and the pupils of the young man in armor shrank: "Who are you?" ”
No one answered him, and the young eunuch was probably a little annoyed, and his steps moved slightly.
Then there was a snow-white sword light, and the sound of blood splashing.
Good fast knife.
......
Let the soldiers attack the inn, Zhou Hao didn't pay too much attention to the situation of the inn, he brought dozens of soldiers over, and there were cavalry patrols around the periphery, so that the people of the merchant house escaped, he simply found a knife and wiped his neck to be more happy.
A human head was thrown down from the second floor of the inn, the soldier stepped forward to pick it up, and Zhou Hao called the reckless man beside him: "Take a serious look, did you say that villain?" ”
The reckless man's eyes were complicated, and after the revenge was avenged, there was endless emptiness, and he nodded: "Master Jun, it is the 'Meiling Hand' Zhuang Feipeng, who is just a little older." ”
"That's almost it, don't kill people, there are some businesses that can still be discussed," Zhou Hao waved his hand, "It's been some time for the second child to go in, send someone in and say, don't kill too much." ”
As the only son of the captain of Yimaling, Zhou Hao's performance over the years has also been outstanding, whether it is dealing with the Yuan people who entered the pass, or the communication between black and white, it is remarkable, especially now the young people who have grown up in the army in the pass have called him brothers, and the big brother shouted extremely sincerely.
So for tonight's kind of thing that is profitable at a glance and has something to fish, there are many soldiers who are willing to go with Zhou Hao, and at this moment, listening to Zhou Hao's order, a big-headed soldier who wants to go in the troubled waters to fish and get some money looks excited, draws his knife and rushes to the inn.
But before he took two steps, he felt that something was wrong, the movement behind him was a little loud, the sound of armor colliding and the sound of weapons unsheathed seemed to be about to charge, he looked back curiously, and saw a figure next to the tall horse that Zhou Hao was riding.
A young man with a particularly white face in the firelight.
He stood next to the horse, pressed the horse's head with one hand, and the well-trained military horse saw the living man approaching, instead of pouting his hind hooves, he was slowly bent by the hand, and knelt on the ground, the strength was visible, the young man crossed the knife, and gently approached the neck of Zhou Hao, who was tense all over his body but did not dare to resist, and did not say a word.
Until a figure appeared in front of the inn, he couldn't see his face clearly in the firelight, only the swaying green shirt on his body.
"Tell Zhou Chong that I want to do business with him."
The figure in the green shirt seemed to smile: "The capital is his son's life." ”
