Chapter 34: Indiscriminate Killing of Innocents
After kicking Xiang Ye to the ground, the white-clothed swordsman took out a hemp rope from his arms and tied him into a personal meat dumpling.
After tying up Xiang Ye, Guan Yijian led the white-clothed swordsman and rushed towards Meng Su.
Originally, there were three people besieging Monsu, but after withdrawing one, the other two white-clothed swordsmen gradually showed their defeat under Monsu's attack, and they were about to die under her sword.
Monsu's longsword unslashed a swordsman's short sword at her, sending out a silver glow that stabbed the swordsman in the throat.
The swordsman wanted to withdraw his hand to block the stabbing sword, but it was too late, and another swordsman on the side hurriedly raised his sword to save it, but he couldn't make up for it because of the distance.
Just when Mengsu's long sword was only more than two inches away from the swordsman's throat, suddenly a blue light flashed, and the blue light flew towards Mengsu's temple with a "whoosh".
Qingguang flew in, Meng Su hurriedly withdrew his sword to block, only to hear a crisp sound of "choking", Qingguang knocked Meng Su back two steps, and the long sword in his hand almost flew out.
She steadied herself and rushed towards Guan Yijian, who shot out blue light, with her long sword.
Guan Yijian smiled slightly, flipped his wrist, and out of nowhere, he took out another short sword, and greeted Meng Su with his sword.
When he rushed towards Meng Su with a short sword in his hand, the white-clothed swordsman standing beside him looked at his empty hands with a stunned face, and the short sword that was still in his hand just now had been transferred to Guan Yijian's hand at some point.
Meng Su rushed in front of Guan Yijian and stabbed him in the chest with his sword. Guan Yijian was not in a hurry, he just gently flicked his sleeves, and the short sword in his hand slashed diagonally along the long sword, and the short sword slashed to the body of the long sword, he did not knock hard, but slid along the body of the long sword towards Meng Su's wrist.
Although Guan Yijian's movements are complicated, they are done in one go, and a set of movements is as smooth as a cloud of peers. The long sword of the Qin period was somewhat different from the long sword of later generations, its hilt was only a cylinder, and there were no gauntlets on either side. The short sword in Guan Yijian's hand slashed towards Meng Su's wrist without hindrance.
Meng Su was taken aback, and quickly let go, the long sword fell to the ground after leaving her hand, she hurriedly lowered to pick it up, but Guan Yijian was a step faster than her, raised his foot and kicked the falling long sword out, when Meng Su looked up at him, the short sword in his hand was already on Meng Su's neck.
"Hehe, the swordsmanship is good, it's a pity, you are only the descendant of the generals after all, if you fight before the battle, I'm afraid I'm not as good as you, but if it's about sword duels, you're still a little worse after all." Guan Yijian smiled at Meng Su, he smiled extremely kindly, if it weren't for the long sword in his hand on Meng Su's neck, Meng Su would have even mistaken him for an acquaintance who was talking to her about swordsmanship.
"Take them away!" After the few white-clothed swordsmen gathered around to control Meng Su, Guan Yijian threw the short sword in his hand to the empty-handed white-clothed swordsman, and said with a bit of disdain in his tone: "As a swordsman, you have to take care of the sword in your hand, if you let me take the sword so easily in the future, you may be the first to die." ”
When he spoke, Meng Su and Xiang Ye couldn't hear a trace of sternness at all, but the white-clothed swordsmen, especially the swordsmen who had been robbed of their swords, trembled with horror, obviously very afraid of him on weekdays.
"Brother Guan, the employer didn't ask us to capture them alive." When the two white-clothed swordsmen went up to bind Meng Su, another white-clothed swordsman standing on the side trembled and reminded Guan Yijian: "Wouldn't it be easier to kill them and only hand them over?" ”
Guan Yijian turned his head sideways and smiled slightly at the white-clothed swordsman, his smile looked extremely kind, but it was this kind smile that made the white-clothed swordsman who spoke shiver all over his body, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"I don't want to repeat what I've said a second time." Guan Yijian smiled and said to a few white-clothed swordsmen: "Take them with you!" ”
After taking a few steps, he pointed to the swordsman who was kicked unconscious by Xiang Ye and said, "Bring that waste with you, I don't want people to see him lying there and tarnish our reputation!" ”
A white-clothed swordsman answered, trotted over and carried the unconscious swordsman on his back, and a group of seven people took advantage of the night to turn back in the direction of Xingyang City.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the cold wind was blowing on Xiang Ye's face, making him shiver.
Guan Yijian's swordsmanship really shocked him, and when Meng Su raised his sword and stabbed at the white-clothed swordsman, Xiang Ye clearly saw that Guan Yijian just flicked the sleeve of his robe, and the short sword in his hand turned into a blue light and flew towards Meng Su.
Xiang Ye was shocked into a cold sweat when the short sword flew out, he had heard of "Hundred Steps Flying Sword" in the past, but he had always regarded this term as a somewhat illusory existence. But today, he did witness with his own eyes what is called a "Hundred Steps Flying Sword", and finally realized that in this era, there are many people who cannot be provoked by his strength, and Guan Yijian is one of them.
The group walked for nearly an hour and a half, and the night was completely dark, and they vaguely saw a small village.
"Let's go to the village for the night first, and then give the people to the employer early tomorrow morning." After seeing the village, Guan Yijian smiled slightly, his smile was very signature, and the slightly pulled up corners of his mouth matched his fair complexion, which made people feel very amiable.
"Brother Guan, let's take these two people, I'm afraid it's not good for the villagers to see it." A white-clothed swordsman looked at Xiang Ye and Meng Su, who were tied up by the five flowers, and said with some concern: "In case they tell the matter and it reaches Li You's ears, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble." ”
"Huh." Guan Yijian laughed heartily twice, and said to the white-clothed swordsman: "If you don't say it, I will really forget about this stubble, since it is possible for the people in the village to say it, and we can't have no place to live at night, then we will kill all the people in the village today and spend the night." ”
When he said this, Xiang Ye glanced at him with disdain. Kill everyone and then spend the night, Xiang Ye has really never seen such a shameless person.
When the seven entered the village, several domestic dogs ran after them, barking at them from afar. The village was quiet, the house dog barked wildly for a long time, and no one came out.
Guan Yijian walked to the door of a family's house, and knocked lightly very gentlemanly. After waiting for a while, there was no sound in the room, and he reached out and slowly grabbed the soft wooden door that had been corroded by the rain.
The door didn't bolt from the inside, he just slammed it open.
The room was dark, and the line of sight could only reach an inch away.
After entering the door, he said to the white-clothed swordsman behind him, "Go and light a torch." ”
A white-clothed swordsman answered, and was about to turn around to look for a stick that could be used as a torch, when suddenly there was a rustling sound in a corner of the room.
After the sound came, everyone's eyes, including Xiang Ye and Meng Su, turned their attention there. They tried hard to see who was making the noise, but it was too dark to see anything.
Just as several people were staring vigilantly at the noisy corner, two people suddenly jumped out of the corner, and judging from the figures of these two people, it should be a woman and a child who jumped out.
After the two people jumped out, the cat leaned over and wanted to get past Guan Yijian's side, but what kind of character Guan Yijian was, he wrapped one arm, first grabbed the woman's neck, twisted it hard, only heard a "click", and the woman's head was twisted to the side by him.
The woman's body fell to the ground limply, and the child who followed her suddenly forgot to run out when he saw that her neck had been broken, and he threw himself on her voice and cried loudly: "Mother! Mother! What happened to you! Get up, mother! ”
The child's cry was heartbreaking, and Xiang Ye and Meng Su, who were tied up like zongzi, suddenly had angry flames in their chests, and they twisted desperately a few times, trying to break the hemp rope that bound them. The two white-clothed swordsmen behind them saw them struggling, and each kicked them hard in the crook of the leg, kicking them half to their knees.
"You will be punished!" Meng Su was furious, she knelt on one knee, raised her head and glared at Guan Yijian angrily, the last thing she could see was someone bullying, especially the wanton slaughter of women and children who had no power to fight back.
"Retribution?" Guan Yijian pursed his lips, he still had that seemingly harmless smile on his face, and said indifferently: "I have killed a lot of people, and I am still alive and well, I don't know when my retribution will come, but I know that you two will not live long!" ”
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the weeping child by the collar who had fallen on top of the woman, and lifted the child high and walked out of the house.
The child's crying had alarmed the rest of the village, and more than a dozen families had opened their doors, and three or two villagers with hoes and sticks had come out of each house.
When Xiang Ye and Meng Su saw these villagers who came out, the feelings of sadness in their hearts were even stronger, these people who came out were either old people or women and children, and even some children who had just learned to stagger at the age of three or five also walked out with the corners of adults' clothes.
The children hid behind the adults, poked their little heads out, and looked at the children who were raised above their heads with a sword in horror.
The child who was held up by Guan Yijian cried and kicked, and he hunched his body, trying to open his small mouth to bite the arm of his mother's enemy, but in the end he did not succeed because the arm was too far away from his mouth.
Guan Yijian was a little upset by this child, and after seeing that the villagers had come out, he pouted and smiled, and said, "Since you all came out, this child is useless." ”
With that, he slammed the child above his head into the ground with both arms. Where can the child eat and live so vigorously fell, and suddenly the ** was cracked and lay on the ground and did not move.
The villagers looked at the small corpse of the child who was killed by a sword in shock, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while. After a while, an aunt shouted loudly: "You butcher, why do you want to kill people? ”
