Chapter 373: Karmic debts should be unavoidable
The sudden appearance of Shen Duchao changed Lin Manliu's previous passive situation.
and Zhao Xiang's anger on the spot, which made the remaining Yanyang soldiers start to look a little flustered.
Everyone looked at Lin Manliu and Shen Duchao who were facing them, and then glanced at Zhao Xiang, who was already a corpse.
Someone shouted: "Withdraw!" Later, after General Mingchu, take them down! ”
As soon as the Yanyang soldier's words fell, he felt his shoulders sink, and then he felt that his shoulder armor and arms were about to be shattered together.
When he looked ahead, he saw that the boy in the short shirt had appeared in front of him at some point.
The strange long soldier was in the face, and it had already smashed his body into a dent...
Lin Manliu said: "Killing people needs to pay for their lives, can you still go?" ”
"Boy, you dare to kill us? You can know the consequences of killing the Yanyang Army! He hurriedly shouted.
As he spoke, his whole body stepped back, wanting to take this opportunity to break free from the long soldier in the young man's hands.
How could Lin Manliu let him get his way, Xia Mingcia smashed down again, and continued to suppress the original Yanyang soldier on the spot!
Seeing this, the former immediately urged the knife in his hand, wanting to remove the strength from the young man's hand.
But the short-shirted boy reacted faster than him, and the twist of his wrist instantly made Xia Mingcia slam horizontally, directly attacking the neck without armor protection.
The Yanyang soldier in front of Lin Manliu was smashed to the ground with his entire body.
"Uhhhhhh
He spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at the short-shirted boy in front of him.
Lin Manliu asked: "Who are the perpetrators of Lotus Bay, including that Zhao Xiang!" ”
Hearing this question, the Yanyang soldier's face was a little stunned at first, but it quickly turned to madness.
He already knew that he wouldn't be able to leave today...
But how can it make you happy!
"It's for that shit... At the time, I was the heaviest of all... What's wrong? I want to avenge someone... Cough... Ahem..."
Hearing the person in front of him personally tell the incriminating evidence, the short-shirted young man clenched his teeth, but did not immediately take action.
At this time, there were still several Yanyang soldiers here, and if he insisted on killing the person in front of him, he would definitely give the others a chance to escape.
To ensure the safety of the road backwards, everyone needs to stay here!
Only by killing them all can we solve the trouble!
But this thought only flashed in the young man's mind for a moment, and he quickly gave it up.
Kill them all?! Except for Zhao Xiang, how many people should be killed? And how many people shouldn't be killed?
Lin Manliu looked at the remaining Yanyang soldiers who were on guard, and glanced at the person who was constantly talking at his feet.
Just as he was about to turn around to look at Zhao Xiang's corpse, the man below him shouted again.
"Let's go! Go to General Mingchu and go all out to hunt down and kill this person, don't let it go! Avenge me and Brother Zhao! ”
Hearing this order, the Yanyang soldiers who had planned to rescue him all turned around and prepared to evacuate this place.
Shen Duchao, who was behind the short-shirted boy, put Jiang Yanlin down at the same moment, and the whole person rushed forward, intending to stop as many people as possible.
Lin Manliu also reacted, kicked out the people under him with a kick, and began to chase after those fleeing Yanyang soldiers.
But those scorching sun soldiers who ran into the bushes, no matter who they were, slowed down before they had gone far.
Because in front of them, I don't know when the insects and scorpions have gathered, and there are two silver snakes coiled around the branches.
Everyone's ears were filled with the sound of snake letters, and gradually there were two more flutes with different timbres.
Suddenly, one of the flutes stopped abruptly, and before those Yanyang soldiers could react, those insects and scorpions began to rush towards them.
No matter how they stabbed them, the worms rushed forward without hesitation.
Some crawled into their thighs with their boots, some leaped into their faces, and several poured into their armor in unison.
However, after a few breaths, the Yanyang soldiers who were still fighting back all fell to the ground.
The wails and screams echoed in the forest for a long time, echoing with the continuous sound of the flute, making the scene even more miserable and permeating.
Judging from the state of death, Zhao Xiang is much better than these fleeing Yanyang soldiers.
Lin Manliu looked at the scene in front of him and slowly stopped, then turned his head to look behind him.
Seeing the figure of Huanyunxia, she was playing with the bamboo flute in her hand, looking at the Yanyang soldiers in the mountains with pity.
When she finally looked at the short-shirted boy, the look of pity was gone, replaced by a look of helplessness.
"Indecisiveness will only bring death to yourself..."
Lin Manliu didn't speak, but just clasped his hands into fists and saluted her.
Soon the sound of another flute in the forest also stopped, and it didn't take long for Xia Xin to appear on the mountain road.
The Miao village woman held her flute tightly with her hands.
When she looked at the Flame Sun soldiers, her eyes filled with disgust and anger.
Shen Duchao also walked out of the bushes and returned to everyone's side, looking at Lin Manliu's expression a little strange, she had no choice but to explain out loud.
"After the two of you left, there was a person at the post station who went to Yuanshui County, saying that he wanted to purchase utensils, but what did he listen to..."
Huan Yunxia continued: "He said that the man's face was a little wrong when he came in from the two of us, and it was too coincidental to leave at the same time as you, so he said that he chased after him and let us pay attention to your movements..."
Shen Duchao hummed and continued to speak.
"That's why a few of us have been following you not far behind, and when we heard the noise in the mountains and forests, we followed!"
Huan Yunxia added: "Combined with the post station, according to your words, think about the bad things, it is not difficult to guess that the person who is difficult for you must be related to the person who induced the snake plague." ”
The short-shirted boy responded, "Well, wait a minute..."
After listening to Shen Duchao and Huan Yunxia's explanations, Lin Manliu also understood the origin of this mountain distress.
It is a secret post that has long been planted in Miao Village.
And the person who installed it and that Zhao Xiang can pass on messages on a regular basis...
But when Jiang Yanlin's identity was linked, the short-shirted boy was puzzled again.
It is likely that when the Jiao Jiao met, Jiang Yanlin's identity had been recognized by that person, but the two did not encounter any obstacles in the process of going south.
The only plausible reason is that the man had other purposes at that time, and could only ventilate the message, and could not do it himself.
When Lin Manliu and the others reappeared, he went to inform Zhao Xiang and the others who were waiting nearby.
Lin Manliu finished his brief review and looked at the Yanyang soldier who was knocked out by him.
The short-shirted young man raised the Xia Ming cicada in his hand and stared at the man's neck.
This move made the soldier's eyebrows move slightly, but soon there was no sign of it.
Lin Manliu said: "I said that killing people pays for your life, you can't leave no matter what..."
Sensing that his pretense of coma was revealed, the Yanyang soldier had to open his eyes and look at Lin Manliu and everyone present.
He forced his breath and shouted again in a mocking tone.
"Little bastard who lives on these pussies, grandpa, I'm waiting for you below!"
The short-shirted boy slashed Xia Mingcicada down and smashed it on his arm again.
"The matter of Lotus Bay was done by you and Zhao Xiang, and the matter of the snake plague outside Lizhou City, but it was also done by you?"
"Little bastard... I know pretty well... That's a lot... It's hard work for you to kill those black snakes..."
Click!
Xia Mingcian slashed out with another blow, smashing his entire body to the ground again.
Xia Xin, who had never spoken, heard the person in front of him admit that the snake was the work of the Yanyang Army going south, and the ten fingers that were originally interlocked became even more intertwined.
"Woo... If you kind of you're going to kill me! ”
Lin Manliu said: "How much trouble have you caused along the way? I've never seen such a despicable Burning Sun Army like you..."
The scolding of the short-shirted boy made the Yanyang soldier sober up a little.
He looked at Lin Manliu with a mocking face and began to gasp and laugh.
"Heh... What a world you little bastard have seen! Dare to say that we are not soldiers?! ”
Lin Manliu swung out another blow, this time smashing firmly on his back.
"The Yanyang Army I have seen is a good man who kills thieves in the mountains and forests, protects the stability of a village and a household, and keeps a safe side! What are you doing? ”
The roar in the young man's mouth echoed in the mountains and forests, and began to sound in the heart lake of the scorching sun soldiers.
He still had a look of disdain on his face, and gradually began to turn to woodenness.
"Those who have achieved great things... When it's informal..."
He wanted to defend himself, he wanted to refute it verbally, and he wanted to reply to this little bastard who was fighting with people.
Lin Manliu didn't smash Xia Mingcicada again this time, but grabbed the soldier with both hands.
The short-shirted boy stared into his eyes and spoke word by word.
"That Xiao Baoli taught you... What is the small thing that makes it more than the big thing? That's what it means, right? ”
"Is it small to oppress the people for the sake of the purpose? Is it small for the troubled mountains? So what exactly is big? ”
Calling the name of Taxue Hou, who is this young man?
The suspicion in his heart flickered, because none of this mattered to him anymore.
After all, for him, he would have died here today, in an unclear and disgraceful death.
He muttered, "Kill me..."
Before entering the army in his early years, what he admired most in his heart was the two armies of Yanyang that had been fighting for many years.
The two armies were named Xuantian and Liaoyuan respectively.
The Xuantian Legion is stationed outside the pass and in the desert north all the year round, and the King of Hanchuan is even more comparable to Lu Xu.
For him, out of reach.
The Liaoyuan Army was stationed in the north, and there were also garrisons in the pass, often participating in the counterinsurgency war in the Central Plains.
Whenever he saw a Liaoyuan army passing by, he would yearn for it.
And when he really threw himself into the barracks, he found that not everyone would set off to rush to the front line of the border, and not all the Yanyang soldiers were brave and martial artists.
For example, their commander, Zhao Xiang, joined the army because of his family's relationship with the government and the opposition.
After working together over the years, I was gradually infected by his ideas.
On the battlefield, there is nothing good about Zong Ma Yango, and it is simply very comfortable to hide in the rear and eat military salaries.
If they can take on some good errands, even if they become the evil ruffians in the market, no one will dare to point out their wrongness.
Now that I think about it, maybe I was wrong from then on.
Since abusing power for personal gain, he has been greedy for the military exploits of his subordinates, lied about cholera in towns and towns, and withheld the military salaries of his comrades...
These "little things" have not been done, and it can be said that none of them have been left behind.
On the other hand, what about the big things in his mouth? But it didn't work out!
At this point, he failed to become the original longing and yearning, but walked farther and farther, and could never turn back.
......
Lin Manliu looked at the Yanyang soldier in front of him, the anger on his face gradually disappeared, and even his eyes tended to a sense of dead silence.
In order to prevent this person from having ulterior motives, the strength of the young man's clamping on his armor increased a few points again.
Again, he begged, "Kill me..."
The short-shirted boy looked at his demeanor and pondered for a long time.
Xia Xin said loudly: "If you hesitate at this moment, you can't do it... Leave it to me! ”
Lin Manliu exhaled, then shook his head again, making himself much more sober.
"Even before death, no matter how great remorse there is, you still need to pay for your life..."
When the young man in the shirt finished speaking, his right hand raised his arm, first raised it above his head, and then waved it down suddenly.
When a hand knife was slashed in an instant, a sound of bones shattering sounded in front of Lin Manliu's body.
Click... Click...
After Lin Manliu let go of his hand, the angry Yanyang soldier on the spot fell to the ground.
The young man in the short shirt looked back at the few people who had rushed to help, and the young man bowed his hand.
"Thank you for your help, as well as the teachings of your predecessors!"
Huan Yunxia said: "There is no need to blame yourself too much, you can be regarded as revenge, and we can be regarded as removing the scourge!" ”
After Xia Xin said this, he nodded at the young man, affirming her statement.
Shen Duchao also spoke: "I used to listen to the villagers in the mountains talk a lot, and I also know the truth of 'karmic debts should be repaid', and they all say that if you don't pay it back, you have to go to the wok soup..."
The young man in the short shirt hummed for a moment, then looked up to the north.
It is a matter of course that those who owe debts must pay back, and those who kill must die, and no matter what, they cannot be avoided.
