Volume 8: The Mystery of the Ancient Tomb is chaotic with life and death, and today's people are clever in their enmity and hatred Volume 8 Chapter 52: Uncontrollable
Ah Kang immediately turned around, protected Xiao Nian behind him, and shouted:
"Who is it?"
"Hu ......" responded to him with a cloud of smoke as thick as substance.
Ah Kang Xiao Nian quickly retreated, covering his mouth and nose, for fear that this smoke contained some poisonous means.
But the smoke drifted by, and there was nothing unusual at all.
When the smoke cleared, the figure of an old man appeared, his pipe as thick as a child's arm, and his trumpet was rattled.
Isn't it? The old man who told us the story before? Ah Kang Xiaonian said at the same time in his heart, and his hanging heart was also relaxed.
The old man's chin raised:
"Young man, meet again. What are you going to do? ”
Akon arched his hand:
"The elders asked me to bring the body over, but who knew that the old man Wu who came but didn't see the handover, so he moved in first."
The old man patted his head:
"I received news that Lang Dezhai, who was acting as the agent of King Miao, sent someone to transport the body to me, but I didn't expect it to be you?"
"It turns out that you are Old Man Wu, uncle." Ah Kang immediately understood, and then said:
"Why didn't I see you before?"
Old man Wu pointed to the back of the room:
"Hey, I went to a thatched house, how do I know that your hands and feet are so neat, and you have already moved for me, thank you young man."
It turned out that he was in the back of the room before, but he had a false alarm. Ah Kang put his mind at ease, and then clenched his fists:
"Uncle Wu, you're polite...... Xiao Nian and I went first, so I won't bother. ”
Then he pulled Xiao Nian to turn around and leave, but before he walked out of the door, he heard Old Man Wu's shout:
"Eh, young man, put the white cloth at your feet back for me."
Ah Kang lowered his head, and sure enough, he saw an extra white cloth at his feet, and turned his head to see a body exposed.
"Okay." He smiled, and then covered the white cloth back, but when he saw the remains of the deceased, his face changed slightly, and he couldn't help sighing:
"It's so ruthless, this Central Plains bandit really has a bit of a way!"
The deceased was none other than Ah Yuan, who was nailed to death outside Liu Lingwei's room.
"What?" When Xiao Nian heard this, he also came over curiously.
Ah Kang's face was solemn, but he didn't pay attention to Xiao Nian's words, but said to Old Man Wu:
"Uncle, can I take a look at these corpses?"
Old man Wu nodded.
Ah Kang's eyes were quick, and in an instant, he pulled up all the white cloths, and he looked at the bodies one by one, but most of them were skimmed.
In the end, he stopped in front of the bodies of Ah Yuan and the other four, his eyes were serious, he muttered to himself, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch those scars.
Old man Wu watched from afar, but he didn't stop him, but took another puff of dry tobacco with interest, squinting at his expression.
"Ah Kang, what's wrong with you, Ah Kang ......" Xiao Nian saw him and became distracted in an instant, and he couldn't even hear his own words. Feeling a little scared, she approached and poked Akon in the shoulder.
"Ahh Ah Kang suddenly lost his voice as if he had just been woken up, he looked at Xiao Nian, and said blankly:
"Little, small? What's wrong? ”
Xiao Nian said angrily:
"You are stupid, look at your lost soul, you don't even pay attention to me several times."
At the mention of this, Akon couldn't help but shake his head:
"It's amazing, but why ......"
"You're big!" Xiao Nian stretched out his hand and knocked on his head:
"What, why? Look at what you said, it's upside down, and the preface doesn't match the afterword. ”
Ah Kang rubbed his head and pointed to the four corpses:
"Ouch, don't hit me, you listen to me...... I mean, the people who killed them were very good at martial arts, you see-"
Ah Kang leaned down, turned slightly, and said:
"You see the fatal wound of this corpse, it was a knife through the throat, and it seems to be used as if it were ...... Goose Feather Knife. However, in fact, before he was stabbed in the throat, his facial bones had been shattered, and he was crushed alive by hand! ”
Xiao Nian covered his mouth:
"Crush the dough bones with your hands! Oh my God, that's a lot of brute force. ”
Ah Kang nodded silently, and flipped over several other corpses:
"This one was slashed by a kind of slender blade, cut in two, cleanly; This one died the most terrible, and was smashed in the chest by an elbow behind the door on the top of his knee; The last one, you look at his expression, obviously he didn't think that the enemy would dare to attack him before he died, and then look at his shrugged shoulders and raised neck, he was attacked in the crowd, the slender knife pierced his chest, and then he was trampled to death, and the person who shot had no scruples at all......"
When Xiao Nian heard this, he couldn't help but hold Ah Kang's arm and said in a low voice:
"Such a fierce bandit in the Central Plains, and his martial arts are so strong, if he doesn't get rid of him, I really don't know how many bad things he will do......"
Akang frowned:
"I never understood one thing - why did these four people suffer severe facial injuries and shattered bones, but their faces were intact?"
Xiao Nian doesn't know martial arts, so naturally he can't answer.
The old man Wu on the side interjected:
"I heard that they Central Plains people can practice internal skills, and when they beat people, the enemy looks like nothing is going on on the surface, but there are internal injuries inside, could it be that this Central Plains people are also very good in internal strength?"
"No way." Akon shook his head resolutely:
"His internal strength is good, but to achieve this level, he is far from being able to ......"
Old man Wu snorted, and stopped talking, but Xiao Nian was puzzled:
"Akang, why are you so sure?"
Akon pointed to the four corpses:
"You see, the depth of the wound, the amount of bleeding, the precision...... These things seem inconspicuous, but they are very knowledgeable—I can analyze the depth of this person's skills, his habit of using knives, his eyesight and his strength, and his ...... skills."
Xiao Nian heard him say the truth, and admired:
"Wow, Akon, you're amazing."
Hearing his sweetheart praise himself, Ah Kang couldn't help but be overjoyed, but then shook his head:
"I'm nothing, if I'm a real expert, I can even judge the origin of this person's martial arts, and I will inherit the sect...... Comparing martial arts to writing, the wounds on the opponent's body are everyone's handwriting, and everyone has their own characteristics, and others don't want to imitate it. ”
Xiao Nian nodded as if he didn't understand, and the old man Wu on the side paced up and covered the white cloth, and he turned his head to Ah Kang and said:
"Young man, you are babbling about things that my old man does not understand...... But it sounds like that, you've got a lot of merit. ”
"Huh?"
"Of course, wouldn't it be an excellent piece of information for you to tell everyone about the murderer's martial arts?"
"I see, I'll go to the Great Elders." Ah Kang suddenly realized, Xiao Nian was also very happy for him, the two thanked Old Man Wu, and then hurried away.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Old Man Wu put the cigarette stick back into the jacket and walked into the inner room.
On the bed, an old man with a gray beard was lying quietly, as if he had been hit by the acupoint, he walked over and patted the old man on the back:
"Brother Wu, I'm offended, after this incident, if I still have my life, I will make amends to you......"
He sat down along the edge of the bed, and was about to say something more, but suddenly his ears moved and he shut his mouth.
His face changed suddenly, and then he looked in the direction of the southwest mountain.
Jiang boy, I've already started a fight here, why haven't you come out yet?
The next moment, his figure was gone.
…………
Ah Kang Xiao Nian got the reminder of "Uncle Wu", and came to the elders' meeting office in a hurry, and Ah Kang shouted as soon as he entered the door:
"Great Elders, I have made a new discovery......
But halfway through, he shut up.
Why are the elders crowded at the door?
Elder Wu saw him and patted him on the shoulder:
"We already know that."
Akon was puzzled:
"How so? I ......"
Elder Wu shook his head and drilled out from his side, and the rest of the Great Elder also rushed out.
Ah Kang was confused by this scene, and was stunned for a moment, and then pulled Elder Bai, who was walking at the end:
"Elder Bai, what are you going to do?"
"Huh?" Elder Bai was obviously taken aback, and then frowned:
"Don't you know?"
Akang nodded:
"I just saw the corpse, and I know the murderer's martial arts......"
"Hey, that's it, it's not too late to talk about this kind of small problem later......" Elder Bai waved his hand to stop Ah Kang from continuing, he flashed out of the door, turned his head and hurriedly said:
"Go and get the knife in your armor!"
What! Akon was startled, and then he heard a loud drum beat coming from the north.
Bang bang! Bang bang! Bang bang ......
Then came the sound of cries and the neighing of horses.
The Qin army has arrived.
"Woo-" "Woo-" "Woo! The moment the drum came, all over the village, sounded the same horn, majestic and magnificent, one after another.
Ah Kang and Xiao Nian immediately saw that the scattered Miao Jiang people gathered one after another, rushing towards the village like a tide.
The war began.
"I'll take the lead, and you'll follow." Ah Kang admonished, and then jumped down and rushed into the tide.
He was swift and quickly overtook everyone, running ahead of everyone, and vaguely becoming the vanguard of everyone.
Xiao Nian did not delay at all, and followed everyone to rush to the entrance of the village.
…………
Even though they had already known the strength of the Qin army, when they really arrived, it still gave everyone in Miao Jiang a great shock.
Thousands of soldiers and horses, accompanied by the sound of Teng drums, stopped at the entrance of the village, the heavy cavalry covered with iron armor, the light cavalry holding Changge, the sharp-eyed spearmen, the waist swords of the infantry, the battle shields of the shield hands were as solid as a rock, and the crossbowmen were already ready to go, and the arrows of the cold light pointed directly at the Miaojiang tribes......
The troops stood awe-inspiring on the spot, all standing proudly, looking at their expressions, as if they felt that they could pick the entire thousand villages alone.
The Miao Jiang people kept pouring out of the village, but they didn't seem to see it at all, and all the soldiers' eyes were focused on the commander.
As the first general, the posture is upright, the temperament is strong, the armor is shining with gold, the brilliance is dazzling, the cloak flutters in the wind, and the style is majestic.
The Miao Jiang tribes also poured out, although they were not as uniform as the Qin army, like an arm, but the number of people was enough to 20,000.
As soon as Zhou Lijin, the commander of the Qin army, raised his hand, the drumming stopped, and he rode out of his horse and said:
"I am ordered by the commander of the Yizhou Metropolitan to greet Lord Qinchajiang Xiaoshujiang."
Elder Bai stepped forward:
"Get out of your Jiang Qincha! That dog thief is so bold that he has committed several serious crimes in my Miao Jiang, if you want to greet him, then it will be easy to do, and you will collect his body in five days! ”
"Heh," Zhou Lijin sneered, then lifted the horsewhip and slashed it down.
"Smack!" Elder Bai was caught off guard and received this whip.
"Dog robber!" An angry shout sounded, and one of the people beside Elder Bai was already in a violent state, it was Ah Kang. He flew up and slapped Zhou Lijin in the chest.
Zhou Lijin whipped Elder Bai, originally wanting to use this to kill the momentum of this group of Miao Yi, but who knew that Ah Kang suddenly made a move and smashed him off the horse with one punch.
Ah Kang wanted to step forward again to beat Zhou Lijin, but a feather arrow hit him in the chest, he dodged and dodged, and found that Zhou Lijin had been welcomed back by the generals, and the drums were pounding, and he had launched an order to charge.
Elder Bai has always been respected, when did he suffer the humiliation of such a whipping, and saw that the Qin army had already charged, how could he still endure it at this time?
"Poof" sounded, Elder Bai pulled out his waist knife and scolded:
"Fucking robbers, the old man is fighting with you!"
The rain of arrows poured into each other, like locusts, and under the cover of his own rain of arrows, Ah Kang of the Miao Jiang side led 500 skilled martial artists to collide with the forward troops of the Qin army.
The situation immediately got out of control!
