Chapter 34: Yang Zhen's Son
"Slow"
Yiqing stopped Xiao Ming, and as soon as he stretched out his hand but didn't catch Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming's speed was like a ghost, and even he didn't think of it, "Bang!" He slammed into the wall.
Touching the head that was hurting, Xiao Ming didn't know why, the sky was already clear, the winter sun was shining in through the window lattice, and a flying insect that didn't know what it was was circling and flying, but these turned out to be in slow motion in Xiao Ming's eyes.
"It's so slow!" Even the movement of the flying insects vibrating their wings was slow, and Xiao Ming could see it clearly.
"Your body hasn't recovered yet, and there are some changes that I don't know very well, I already noticed it when I gave you the pulse just now, but I don't know how to tell you." Yiqing said.
"That's a genetic mutation" Xiao Ming threw down a sentence that he didn't understand at all, and wanted to go out again.
"It's not good, I'm a Spider-Man again!" Xiao Ming thought about it, but now he didn't care much about this, Gu's refinery, his Xicheng Iron Works, his Huwei Battalion, those craftsmen, Yang Zhen, Gu Xiaoliu, Bai San, Su Cai'er...... These are the things he wants to care about, they are all the people and things that Xiao Ming wants to care about, they are all Xiao Ming's hard work, and he urgently needs to understand the current situation in Hangzhou City.
"You said the city was broken yesterday, what the hell is going on?" Xiao Ming turned his head to Yiqing and asked.
Yiqing sighed and told Xiao Ming the general situation.
It turned out that the Demon Cult rebels sent a lot of Youming troops to attack the city from the tunnels dug by Houtu Banner in the early hours of yesterday, and the Youming Army was a monster puppet like Cai Kui and others, as soon as these things appeared, they immediately disintegrated the will of the Song army defending the city, and the rebels soon occupied the south gate, and other rebels set fire to create chaos everywhere in Hangzhou, when the city gate was opened, a large number of rebels poured into the city, Hangzhou City was lost, Hangzhou prefect Zhao Ting, garrison Chen Luzhang abandoned the city and fled, now Hangzhou City has been occupied by rebels, and the fire burned for a day and a night... β¦οΌ
After Yiqing rescued Xiao Ming, he didn't stay in the city, but went out of the city to his foothold in Lin'an County, otherwise it would be very troublesome to go out of the city when the city broke out.
"I'm going to save people!" Xiao Mingdao said that the foundation of the metallurgical industry he built was in the Chengxi Iron Factory, there were so many ironworks craftsmen, martial artists and craftsmen's families, and there were tens of thousands of people around, and the rebels would inevitably deal with all the people who opposed them when they entered the city, and they would definitely not let go of the Gu family's refinery, Xiao Ming was very anxious.
Yiqing asked, "Who are you going to save?" β
"Innocent people!" Xiao Ming replied without thinking about it, to be honest, he didn't know why he said this, it is estimated that he has lived in Hangzhou for more than ten years in his later life, and he thinks that Hangzhou is home, and Hangzhou still has his parents and friends.
But this sentence made Yiqing suddenly moved, "This son has the people of the world in his heart, and his mind is so broad!" It seems that I underestimated him, thinking that I have seen countless people in the rivers and lakes, and I have never seen such a strange person! Then he asked.
"Is it related to changing the system to save people's lives and deaths?"
"Related, the people are the foundation of the world, and there is no world without the people, but the world is the world of the people of the world, not the world of the people and thieves, although the small people are ignorant, it is due to the uncivilized, when the country is rich and strong, why not establish a good system."
Xiao Ming bowed to Yiqing and said: "The Taoist chief is full of strange arts, and his magical powers are shocking, how can he bear to see innocent people being slaughtered, and ask the Taoist to help Xiao Ming and save the innocent from fire and water!" β
Yiqing nodded and said: "Okay, the little brother is merciful in his heart, has the world in his heart, and is a person who is a big person, I will accompany you, but your body has a mutation and you don't know martial arts, but it is difficult to do, so let's pass on a set of thaumaturgical body methods to you, and it is not a problem to avoid danger when encountering danger." β
Xiao Ming hurriedly said: "Saving people is like fighting fire, how can I have time to learn any body techniques!" β
"It doesn't matter, this kind of body is just some skills, I see your body changing, moving like a ghost, the speed is there, but the lack of skills, as long as you master the skills, do more practice can be good luck and avoid evil, without further ado, we will leave now, on the way I will pass on the sixty-four mantras of this body method to you."
Xiao Ming nodded yes, so the two of them set off, left Lin'an County to the east, and went straight to Hangzhou City, there was no disaster on the road, thinking that the rebels had just won Hangzhou City, and the rebels in Lin'an also flocked to Hangzhou, and they had not time to scourge the surrounding counties, and when they destroyed Hangzhou, they must have suffered from the surrounding areas.
Along the way, a clear set of "Xingyun Escape to the Sky" body mantra said to Xiao Ming, this set of body method has a total of sixty-four sentences, every three words for a sentence, just like the three-character scripture, but it is not easy to understand, according to Yiqing, as long as the understanding of the first eight sentences of the mantra will touch the analogy.
Xiao Ming had something in his heart, and he couldn't remember so much at all, so he only memorized the eight formulas, and after remembering, he explained to Xiao Ming as soon as he was clear, while demonstrating on the side, the two of them were extremely fast, and two puffs of black smoke flowed on the road, and the dust rolled towards Hangzhou City.
When approaching the west gate of Hangzhou, I had seen the black smoke billowing in Hangzhou from afar, and the fire lit by the rebels in the city was still not extinguished.
In the west gate of Hangzhou City, there are only a dozen rebel handles, just a piece of wood, and one of the gates has fallen to the ground, and there are several corpses on the ground.
When Xiao Ming and Yiqing passed by the gate quickly, several rebels only saw two figures passing by, they all thought they were dazzled, rubbed their eyes, continued to nap, and some cursed secretly, a large group of people and horses were robbing in the city, but they were sent to guard the city gate, it was really unfair!
Entering the city, Xiao Ming took Yiqing all the way to the Chengxi Iron Factory, he was most worried about seeing that the entire iron factory had been in flames, or a ruin, so he accelerated his running, and from time to time he used his comprehension of the body to run, and gradually felt that he had inexhaustible strength, and his legs swung rapidly, like clockwork, and even a Qingdao person had to fall behind half a body, which made Yiqing surprised.
There are no more dead bodies on the road, most of the houses are closed, there is no one on the street in the early morning, when he runs to the street facing the iron factory, Xiao Ming breathes a sigh of relief, the iron factory seems to be still safe and sound, but the whole gate is closed, several blast furnaces are not smoking, there seems to be a figure flickering on the wall, and when Xiao Ming walked closer, suddenly someone on the wall saw him, exclaimed, and immediately someone came to open the door.
After a while, I saw Luo Wen and Luo Dingbang come out with a few tiger guards, everyone was surprised to see Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming didn't care about the introduction, and asked about the situation while walking inside, and from time to time craftsmen and tiger guards came to greet him.
It turned out that after the Demon Cult rebels broke the city, Rowan took people to take a shortcut and retreated to the ironworks, and gathered the entire Tiger Guard Battalion, relying on the ironworks wall to prepare for protection, and most of the craftsmen and their families also armed themselves with the weapons produced by the ironworks, so that he could participate in the defense, but Xiao Ming was missing, Gu Shouzhen was not there, and there was no one in charge of the entire ironworks, and Rowan was not easy to make any decisions, after all, he was only an instructor of the Tiger Guard Battalion, not a person from the ironworks, and he couldn't give an order whether to leave or stay.
Xiao Ming asked how the situation of Gu's refinery was, and learned that the refinery had been destroyed, the rebels and homeless people had knocked down the blast furnace, robbed the weapons and armor, and set fire to the refinery, and the tiger guards who stayed behind to protect Gu Shouzhen's family had retreated to the iron factory.
Now the entire Tiger Guard Battalion is still there, the scale of six or seven hundred people, plus armed craftsmen, a total of about 1,000 people, some craftsmen and their families, originally took advantage of the chaos to escape, but before they left the city, they were killed by the rebels, everyone felt that it was not as safe as the iron factory, if the iron factory was breached, then everyone would die, it was better to form a group, for a time this crowd may be the most united armed in Hangzhou City.
Xiao Ming summoned everyone at that time, announced in public that he would definitely ensure everyone's safety, and announced that Luo Wen was the battalion general of the entire Tiger Guard Battalion and belonged to the guard of the iron factory, and asked everyone to immediately burn the blast furnace and smelt molten iron.
Xiao Ming asked about Yang Zhen's whereabouts, and learned that Yang Zhen led a team of van troops to retreat, in order to protect the government, in addition to Yang Zhen, Xiao Ming was also very concerned about Richanglong, I don't know what happened to Su Caier, and the stand-in Shen Bei'er.
Now the news is not accurate, the faΓ§ade of Richanglong is in the most prosperous area of Hangzhou, it will definitely be looted, and their villas in the Moganshan District in the north of the city, where most of them are the manors of wealthy businessmen, must also be in danger this time, and there are still many people in Hangzhou, Xiao Ming himself said to Yiqing that he wanted to save the people, it is not good not to do anything, right?
So Xiao Ming decided to go out to save people, the iron factory is still a safe place at the moment, and the people who were affected nearby can be taken to the iron factory for resettlement first, and then ordered 200 tiger guards, brought enough crossbow arrows, and arranged for Luo Wen to guard the iron factory, and then came out of the iron factory and headed east.
All the way to the east, when I was about to reach Wulin Road, I encountered the rebels, a group of rebels who were robbing are now crying and shouting for their mother's escape, behind them there is a young general dancing a big iron gun with a group of people dressed as family members are chasing and killing, the rebels fled in a hurry, the looted property was thrown all over the ground, and there were women they captured in the team, who were dragged by several small leaders as hostages, but they happened to be blocked by Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming commanded a rain of arrows to shoot over, directly shot over dozens of chaotic troops, this group of people couldn't escape, they all knelt down and surrendered, the young general rushed to the front, Xiao Ming saw that he knew it, this person was Yang Zhen Yang Zifa's sixteen-year-old son Yang Yizhong.
Yang Yizhong was also very happy to see Xiao Ming, and shouted Uncle Xiao from afar, Xiao Ming intersected with Yang Zhen's peers, and his brothers were commensurate, Yang Yizhong has always been a nephew to Xiao Ming, although Xiao Ming is not a few years older than him, but Yang Zhen insists on this, and his son naturally does not dare to disobey.
Yang Yizhong commanded his subordinates to kill the rebels who surrendered, Xiao Ming couldn't bear it, and the killing of prisoners was really unacceptable to him, but Yang Yizhong was triumphant, and his bloodstained face was full of excitement.
Xiao Ming pointed to the weapons thrown by the rebels, which were just bamboo guns tied with strips of cloth, "They are originally ordinary people, and they have already surrendered, why kill them?" β
Yang Yizhong said: "Just now, these people killed dozens of people and robbed other people's belongings, they are really robbers, besides, we can't take them in, my father is still saving people in Peach Blossom Lane, and we have to join him." β
Xiao Ming knew that what he said was reasonable, so he didn't say anything, but this kid was so ruthless, I don't know what will happen in the future? At that moment, it was important to go to Peach Blossom Lane to meet Yang Zhen first, so Xiao Ming commanded Hu Wei to let Yang Yizhong lead the way and run towards Peach Blossom Lane on Wulin Road.
This area of Peach Blossom Lane is where the official office and the government are located, the rebels have been killed and robbed yesterday, the whole system has been chaotic, killing people everywhere and setting fires, drinking and celebrating all night at night, most people are still hungover, occupying the houses of many rich families, looting a lot of wine and women sleeping in it, Xiao Ming They just caught up with this opportunity, if they encountered a large group of rebels, it is estimated that they are all dangerous.
On the way, he met the fleeing people, Xiao Ming commanded them to go to the west of the city to avoid the trouble, when the city was broken yesterday, there were already tens of thousands of people who fled from the north gate, and now the people in the city have not left are some old and weak, until everyone came to the wicker alley, only happened to meet with the box army led by Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen looked very embarrassed now, his whole body was almost stained red with blood, and he was very happy to see his son bring Xiao Ming over. Everyone joined forces to discuss what to do next?
Suddenly, a sergeant behind shouted, "Oh no,ββ demon soldiers are here!" β
