Volume 1, The Wind Rises in Shu Chapter 8, Situ Jianzhuang
In the night, the firelight and candles were shining with the figures, and the swords were glowing with cold light in the lamplight, and the leader of the man dragged the broadsword and stared at the horses in front of him. shouted at the five people in front of him: "None of them will be left!" ”
After speaking, he took the lead in raising his knife to meet him, and dozens of people from the rear also rushed over.
The strong man Lao Yue burst into a shout: "Kill you, grandpa doesn't even raise his eyelids." ”
Then he held an iron rod to fight the on-face big knife man, the knife and stick collided with each other and made a piercing "Qiang Qiang" sound, the huge force collided with sparks and splashed everywhere, and the rest of Hu Hai, Zhao Zhengli and other four people were also surrounded one after another, the sword had no eyes, and the cold light flashed brightly in the dark night, Hu Hai was like entering a no-man's land, and the long sword swing had ended the lives of four or five people, and several bandits wearing armor. The people hurriedly besieged Huhai.
Zhao Zhengli saw that several people were free to fight, so he suppressed Xiuwei, he didn't look like mercy in this battle, maybe people are not good, and they are selfish by nature, whether it is a villager who falls into the grass and is a servant, or a government official who does not worry about eating and drinking, they all disregard others for their own selfish interests.
Maybe this is the way to survive in the rivers and lakes, the killing is clear, speaking with fists and strength, Hu Hai and Lao Yue who tested him at the dinner table yesterday, were beaten up when they were unarmed when they met the bandits, and the process of being tried by Li Zhanyi, the guest secretary of the Yu family, before going down the mountain, all of this is saying that "strength is the basis for being respected".
Zhao Zhengli threw off his sleeves and robe, and his white face resolutely snatched two machetes and danced, ending the life of the reckless with a knife, walking all the way in the crowd like chopping melons and vegetables, blood spilled in the night sky, and the people on both sides were extremely shocked, this can not be called a "battle", but a one-sided slaughter.
Several armor abandoned Hu Hai and raised their knives to rush straight at the white-faced boy who looked like a killing machine, Zhao Zhengli looked at it indifferently, and then kicked the bandit who flew to the ground with one foot. People, that person shot straight at the armored cavalry like a sandbag, Zhao Zhengli followed with two knives, and several armorers turned sideways to avoid the attacking human ball sandbags, only to see a black shadow flashing from the horses next to several people, and then the back of the neck was cold, blood gushed out, and they fell down and dismounted before they had time to shout.
The action was so fast that it was dazzling, Hu Hai stared at the several armorers who sealed his throat with a knife, and just now he barely cut one by himself, and the white-faced Taoist priest actually wiped out all of them in one flash, it didn't seem to be the slightest effort, what kind of realm does this have to be?
For a while, he felt a chill in his back, and he was frightened at the moment when he thought of testing the other party at the dinner table yesterday, and he didn't know if the white-faced Taoist priest remembered a grudge?
On the other side, Lao Yue and the big knife man fought for no less than 100 rounds, the strong man Lao Yue had already come off the horse, and the big knife man fought in the forest, the two sides were red-eyed, the real qi around the body was surging, the stick and the big knife were amazing in the destructive power of the true qi blessing, the thick tree at the mouth of the bowl was broken with a stick, and the boulder of thousands of catties was exploded with a knife, and the strength of the two sides was comparable.
The rest of the little minions were all killed and disabled by Hu Hai and others, and the four of them watched the fight between the strong man Lao Yue not far away, probably because the big knife man was distracted to observe the battle situation here, and was distracted when he saw the dead and wounded, and was hit in the head by Lao Yue at a critical moment, and the stick full of true qi exploded on the spot like a melon and fruit.
Seeing the man, Lao Yue sat on the ground and panted: "His grandmother's has some ability, but she is still a little grandmaster." ”
The four of them stepped forward, Lao Yue got up with an iron rod, saw the blood stains left by Zhao Zhengli's robe by the light of the fire on the ground, and quipped: "The Taoist is opening the chicks?" Then he regretted and regretted: "It's a pity that Lao Yue, I didn't see the process of the Taoist hatching." ”
The middle-aged two sisters, Hu Hai and Bihua Jian, squinted at each other's expressions, and Zhao Zhengli pulled his face and smiled, thinking that the strong man Lao Yue was very interesting, but it was much less than those three hearts: "It's the same next time I have time." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."
Lao Yue stepped forward with an iron rod and patted Zhao Zhengli on the shoulder, these two blows could scare the three of them enough, and they instinctively took a few steps back, for fear of being affected to their own safety.
Lao Yue found the three of them retreating and shouted, "What are you doing retreating?" Lao Yue, I was a little brave just now, so I wouldn't have such a big deterrent! ”
“……”
The three of them invariably looked at the white-faced Taoist priest together, thinking that it was just you, the big boss, who didn't understand the situation, but he didn't say anything on the surface, so let this big boss test the bottom line of the white-faced Taoist priest to his heart, so that the three of them could have a bottom in their hearts.
Lao Yue saw that the three of them were restrained, and hooked his shoulders with the white-faced Taoist Zhao Zhengli: "Dozens of miles further south, you will go to Situ Jianzhuang, I heard that there is a young lady in the Situ family who looks like a water spirit, let's go around Ming'er to take a look, if the Taoist chief likes it, wrap it on Lao Yue and me, and definitely help you carry the warm quilt before going to bed tomorrow night." ”
Zhao Zhengli was also amused when he saw his expression: "Then I'll thank Senior Yue first!" ”
"You're polite, you're polite, let the seniors look fresh, and Lao Yue is so kind."
After Lao Yue finished speaking, he didn't forget to wipe his saliva.
The two of them coaxed together, so that Hu Hai and Jasper Birou mistakenly thought that they had known each other for a long time, and had done this embarrassing thing.
After searching the battlefield, the five men picked up a few good fast horses, and then each changed into clean clothes in the dark, and rode away in the night.
Less than half an hour later, they found an inn on the official road, and several people paid several times the amount of silver taels, asking the shopkeeper to prepare a supper and a guest room, and then feed the horses in the stable.
The night was finally quiet, several people went back to their rooms to sleep, and before the day opened, they heard the sound of the official road riding horses and whips, and then the inn was smashed by "clang".
The shopkeeper opened the door, and was immediately interrogated: "Are you waiting for Kecheng to meet three men and two women passing by here?" ”
"Official, the inn closed early yesterday, I don't know which ones broke the law with no long eyes?"
"Last night, there was a tragic battle in Erli Township, and dozens of bandits died. people, the identities of those five people are suspicious, so they are only tracked down early in the morning, and they are ready to take people back to the county government to suppress them. Bandit money. ”
"The little one didn't see anything, and he didn't know where the five people were."
The five people in the room had already woken up, and they were gathering in a room to discuss countermeasures.
Xiao Er sent the servant, and then closed the door and entered the house, the shopkeeper had already woken up, and signaled that Xiao Er did the right thing, official. The collusion of bandits is tacitly understood in various places, and on the surface they say that they will receive rewards, but in fact they explain it to the bandits. It's just a human leader.
The shopkeeper and Xiao Er did this not out of good intentions, but because they were afraid that the officials would know that their inn was harboring and suppressing. Bandit heroes, settle accounts after the autumn, after all, these heroes have cut off the financial route of the county government, and if they harbor it, they will naturally become "accomplices".
The shopkeeper and Xiao Er hurriedly went upstairs to inform the five people, and opened the back door of the inn to let a few people enter the forest, as long as they got out of the inn, they didn't care about the shopkeeper Xiao Er's affairs in the future, cleaned up the stables, guest rooms, and completely cleaned up.
The five people who walked through the forest early in the morning were angry, obviously the court officials paid them to do errands, how could they end up hiding in Tibet as if they were chaotic ministers and thieves?
After nearly a day of walking on the trail, encountering robbers five or six times along the way, several people were killed and killed, and they came to Shunlong Beach in the middle of the afternoon.
The terrain is relatively flat, with lakes and two rivers confluence, and the good geography makes it rich compared to other mountainous areas.
Situ Jianzhuang is not far from here.
The big action of Shu for two consecutive days has been spread in the rivers and lakes and the people, and the people of the rivers and lakes can also see the clues from the number of roads on the east and west lines, not only the people of the rivers and lakes, but also the people of the court also understand one or two, and Liu Yuanji, who is the guard of Shu County, can see a few points no matter how stupid he is.
In the Shu County Mansion, Liu Yuanji's burly physique wandered in the inner room wearing a round-necked scarlet robe official uniform, the bright red scarlet robe was against his equally ruddy national face, his eagle eyes were slightly closed, and he was holding a mustache with one hand and muttering to himself: "Sooner or later, I knew that there would be such a day, but I didn't expect it to be so soon!" Since you use the means of rivers and lakes, let you see the real rivers and lakes! ”
Then he shouted outside the house: "Someone, go to Wolong Villa to spread the word, saying, "It's time to go out for the first batch." ”
The little soldier took the order and went away without asking the reason.
Wolong Villa is the manor of Liu Yuanji, the county guard, who raised the rivers and lakes in captivity, and he hoped to produce a "Mr. Wolong" during the Three Kingdoms period, so he named it Wolong Villa. With his cousin Liu Yuandong as the owner of the village, he has been secretly helping the county guard deal with all kinds of hidden things, as well as the problems of the rivers and lakes.
The other side. Shunlong Beach.
Zhao Zhengli and his entourage have already come to Situ Jianzhuang, to be precise, Situ Jianzhuang took the initiative to invite a few people to come to the door.
Dozens of people from the rivers and lakes gathered in the courtyard of Situ Jianzhuang Shuo, holding knives and sticks, swords and hammers, and whip hooks, which can be described as gathering eighteen kinds of martial arts.
These many Jianghu people came here to witness the sweeping of the Shu County bandits. The heroes of the nest, the people of the rivers and lakes naturally hope that the world is peaceful, and the rivers and lakes are not peaceful when the world is not peaceful, and the corruption in Shu County is also affected in the rivers and lakes.
Today, some people dare to push Shu County on the east and west lines, of course, wake up the immersion of the rivers and lakes, because they have been suffocated over the years, these two groups of people have done the feat they want to do but dare not do, no matter who the organizers behind are, as the main force of the two teams to play the vanguard, they at least admire the horizontal push and suppression. The strength of the bandits.
The owner of the Jianzhuang prepared two banquets tens of meters long in the east and west, and the people of the rivers and lakes from all sides were seated in the east and west, and it was also the suppression of the east and west lines of the owner of the village. Bandit heroes.
To the surprise of several heroes, the owner of the sword village is a woman, and the kind that is full of charm.
She took the first place and raised her hands to the audience, and the audience was quiet, this aura made the eyes of Jasper and Birou shine, a generation of heroines is just like that, right?
She picked up a bowl of wine and said to Zhao Zhengli and the others: "I, Situ Qing, have lived in Shu for more than ten years, and this time I support the actions of several heroes on behalf of Situ Jianzhuang, and I also believe in the decisions made by the forces behind you." This bowl of our company respects the heroes! ”
After speaking, she raised her head and drank it all, and the rest of the people in the rivers and lakes also brushed and raised a bowl to toast.
Zhao Zheng said in his heart, didn't this Jianzhuang guess that the force behind it was the imperial court? So the first one to jump out and take sides? After the turmoil subsides, it will be more convenient to develop?
After all, although this operation is hidden, it is not traceless, and careful observation can still find out the direction behind it.
After three rounds of drinking, Situ Qing took the initiative to talk to several heroes, Zhao Zhengli also took this opportunity to take a serious look, forty-year-old appearance, hard to have thirty-year-old skin, few wrinkles, but eyebrows and eyes reveal a rare decisive and heroic spirit of women, red lips and white teeth chatted with Jasper Birou about her past with Bihua Sword Sect, and threatened to work with them to overthrow the pedantic county guard to avenge Bihua Sword Sect.
The two sisters heard that she had an old friendship with the Bihua Sword Sect, and they rarely revealed their true feelings, and when they met a confidant, they naturally poured out all kinds of humiliation, and they also took off their veils with frankness, revealing two pretty faces with rain and pear blossoms crying.
Zhao Zhengli looked at it again and again, the companions who were in love all the way were actually two beautiful women, and he couldn't help but think of Miss Yu's appearance, but unfortunately Miss Yu's family was not as tall as the two of them, otherwise her appearance would definitely be better than the two sisters.
Then he looked at the more upright owner, who swallowed his saliva and drank to relieve his embarrassment.
Lao Yue next to Zhao Zhengli saw the clue and touched him with his elbow: "What's the matter?" Dao Chief, Miss Situ probably can't count on it, or Lao Yue will try to warm the bed with these two girls? ”
“……”
Not to mention that at a certain moment, Daochang Zhao was really a little excited.
Fortunately, he was profound, and he didn't show his thoughts, otherwise wouldn't it be in vain to observe Yuan Daoren's "health books" in Shanmen over the years?
