Chapter 476: The Old Man and the Borrowed Wind
The waves crashed against the shore with a 'whooshing' sound.
The stars and moon of the summer night were dense in the night sky, the stars were guarding the bright moon, the cold moonlight was sprinkled on the nearby beach, and there was a moment of messy footsteps and a sentence of whispering.
"Go look over there!"
“…… Check the riverbank to see if there are Xia people diving and smuggling ashore! ”
A group of Japanese soldiers carrying small flags shouted and patrolled the coastline before heading to a nearby fishing village, where they would probably take the opportunity to loot or rest.
The cacophony of voices and footsteps faded away, leaving only the sound of the wind and the waves, and in the distant woods, the lowly figures looked through the weeds and drooping treetops before turning and heading inside.
He still held a few handfuls of freshly picked herbs in his hand, and soon, back in the depths of the forest, another figure lying on the thick fallen leaves gradually woke up.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the figure who had just woken up sat up suddenly, just in time to see the rickety figure coming over, "Who?!" ”
"I just saved you, and then I forgot to save my life?" Listening to the voice was an old man, the figure who sat up saw the appearance of the old man in front of him clearly through the hazy moonlight cast by the gap in the tree, "Speaking of which, the general and the old man have met once." ”
Have you met once?
Lu Meng looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, and then he staggered to his feet and arched his hand to the other party: "In Xia Lu Meng, I don't know what the old man is called." ”
"Liang Guyuan!"
The old man wrapped the herbs in his hand into the torn strips of cloth, then kneaded them back and forth, squeezed out the juice, dripped them into the notched pottery bowl, and then laughed.
"We met in Linjun, and that day the old man broke into the Zhenhai Division at night and asked His Majesty for a certificate to go to sea. It's also fate, I didn't expect to meet the general here, at that time, the old man saw you floating in the water on the coast, so he dragged you ashore, and only then did he recognize the general. ”
"Thank you for saving your life...... Lu Meng also clearly appeared in his mind that the master of the rivers and lakes by the pond in the atrium of Zhenhai Division that day.
He looked around and made sure of the environment, but he still had to prepare to leave here, after all, the war was not over yet. As soon as he took two steps, he felt a burning pain in his thighs and shoulders, and his armor was taken off by the other party at some point, and his shirt was open, revealing a bloody piece of flesh.
"This General Lu, you have burns on your chest from burning oil...... Liang Guyuan walked over quickly and helped Lu Meng back to the ground, "...... In addition, after soaking in the sea water for too long, the skin and flesh rotted and could only be scraped off. ”
The old man squatted down with a soup bowl, dipped the medicinal juice in a cloth towel wrapped in herbs, and slowly applied it on Lu Meng's chest.
"General Lu is really a heroic general, if he is an ordinary person, when he encounters such an injury, I am afraid that he will die in pain."
On the thick fallen leaves, Lu Meng, who was silently watching the old man apply the medicine for himself, his chapped lips trembled, he gritted his teeth, and endured a burst of pain before he slowly spoke: "....... Senior Liang, I know you are looking for a friend, can you find a friend? ”
When the old man buried his head and smeared the cracked flesh on Lu Meng's legs, he was silent for a moment: "Found it...... Got it...... Over there. ”
Speaking of this, there was a pause in his tone.
"I'm preparing to bring him back to Wuzhou."
"Where is he?"
Lu Meng was obviously startled, he didn't think that there was another person here, he followed the old man's line of sight, and under a tree a few steps away, there was a pottery urn the size of a human head.
The astonishment on his face subsided.
"As the general can see, that's my old friend......" Liang Guyuan smiled hard, and then stood up: "However, it doesn't matter, everyone has their own lives, not to mention that he has also reached the limit, and it is worth it to kill a lot of Japanese robbers here." ”
"Kill the Japanese ......" Lu Meng laughed: "I was washed into the sea just to kill the Japanese Invaders, but fortunately, I didn't die in the disaster, and I can continue to kill the Japanese Invaders in the future." ”
As he spoke, he raised his arms, arched his hand towards the columbarium under the tree, and bowed his head slightly, as a tribute to his predecessors who died to kill the widows.
Liang Guyuan's eyes were burning: "General Lu, you just said that you also came to kill the Japanese Invaders, could it be that Your Majesty has already launched an offensive against the Japanese Island?" ”
"Hmm."
Lu Meng's chapped lips were filled with a smile, and he nodded, and after attacking the Japanese and taking Tsushima Island, he encountered a strange wind in the 'Shikoku' near the Japanese island, and told the other party that he had sailed and sacrificed himself to block the Japanese ambush.
"The general is righteous, and the old man admires!"
As a Jianghu person, no matter how old Liang Guyuan is, whether he sacrifices his life for righteousness or reciprocates, he respects him in his heart to be able to keep more colleagues at such a juncture.
"What's the use of righteousness, it's not a trick of the Japanese people." Lu Meng was a little discouraged, and flapped the fallen leaves around him, "And that strange wind, as long as our warship approaches, it will set off a hurricane on the sea." ”
On the side, Liang Guyuan was not a person in the army, and he couldn't give Lu Meng any advice on the way of the military formation.
The night wind rustles the woods.
Just when the two were silent for a while, the old man suddenly hissed softly, causing Lu Meng to turn his head to look at him.
Seeing Lu Meng looking over, Liang Guyuan said that he had a trace of doubt in his heart.
"General Lu, when the old man passed through here, he accidentally saw a strange stone altar, there were many Japanese people building there, and he was in a hurry at that time, and there were Japanese ninjas, so he didn't look too much, could it be that the strange wind was caused from there?"
Hearing this, Lu Meng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was a little excited: "Senior, can you take a trip to the next one?" ”
"The general is seriously wounded, I'm afraid ......"
"If you can destroy the arrangement of the Japanese people and let the ships at sea land in Shikoku, how can Lu Meng regret this!"
Looking at the solemnity and determination in Lu Meng's eyes, Liang Guyuan glanced at his old friend's ashes altar again, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay!" ”
He turned his gaze.
"The general is not afraid of death, how can the old decay, a small people, stay out of the way! The old decay will take you with you! ”
Hearing this, Lu Meng immediately got up, took off his clothes, tore them into strips of cloth, wrapped and tightened the wounds on his body, and gritted his teeth and hissed in pain.
Immediately, the two crotch armors were no longer worn, and he directly picked up the ring head knife and made a gesture of please to the old man.
"Please!"
Liang Guyuan laughed, and stretched out his hand heroically.
"General, please!"
The night breeze blew, and the two figures walked through the forest by the cold moonlight, and passed in the direction where the old man came, and the sky at this time gradually shone with a glimmer of light.
At the sea level in the east, the white belly of the fish is cut open, and the golden morning sun shines through the clouds.
The morning light pushed the color of the blue darkness, quickly streaked across the rough sea, and the edge of the light soon enveloped the huge Bagua Array on Tsushima Island.
Zhuge Liang, who was dressed in a Taoist robe and held a wooden sword, stood in the eyes of the array, bathing in the morning sun, and while bathing in the morning sun, he slowly raised the wooden sword and walked out of Tiangang.
The blowing sea breeze gradually changed direction, and the sound of whimpering in people's ears became a whistling sound.
Su Chen's robe hunting, his hair fluttering, and there were military Chinese martial artists on the left and right, looking at the sword-wielding figure in the formation from a distance.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhuge , can you snatch the wind from the hands of the Japanese people?"
In the first half of yesterday night, he, Qi Jiguang, and Gao Shun withdrew from the sea area in front of Wa Island to rest, and heard the letter sent by Guan Yu saying that Lu Meng, who had disappeared, ran to the side of the South Road Fleet and drove the warship to block the fire ship of the Wa people for Guan Yu and others, and was shocked.
He is Guan Yu's best friend, and after Guan Yu was killed by the other party, he naturally didn't like Lu Meng, but now that he heard such a thing, he felt a little uncomfortable.
But to say that the saddest thing is actually Qi Jiguang.
When he came here, he had the most contact, except for Su Chen, it was Lu Meng, and the two went south to Lin County in the Central Plains together, and single-handedly created the Zhenhai Division, if you want to say that there is no friendship, it is false.
What's more, Lu Meng is also a very capable person, how can a capable person suddenly give up his life and die, how can it not make people sad.
"I'm sure I'll be able to snatch it!"
Su Chen didn't speak, and what took Zhang Liao's words was Qi Jiguang next to him, with a look of more than fifty years, his gray beard stroking slightly in the wind, and an indescribable look of sadness and anger.
As his words fell, Zhuge Liang in the distance suddenly said: "Hurry!" ”
The seven-star sword slammed towards the east of Wajima.
The wind howled.
……
In the distance, Shikoku, under the clouds, is located on the top of a hill in the middle of Shikoku, and there are many stone platforms made of rocks.
The table was square, the four corners were filled with the flags of the sun, moon and stars, and in front of the altar in the center, Abe, who was dressed in a hunting robe, suddenly stopped chanting the incantation in his mouth.
Suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time as there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, outside the stone platform, hundreds of Japanese soldiers were neatly arranged, or patrolling around the stone platform, and there was no figure in the dark, but those who knew knew that there were still many ninjas hiding here.
At this time, a gust of wind suddenly set off around the stone platform, and the small flags of various colors shook messily.
"In the Xia Guojun, there are also masters who know how to do so?"
Abe sneered, his sleeves were spilled out, and handprints suddenly formed on his hands, and the long incense and candles that were lit were also extinguished at this moment.
The sea breeze that was originally blowing towards him changed and blew towards the west.
……
"Sure enough, there are Japanese people in it!"
Zhuge Liang obviously felt that the wind he had just borrowed was caught by the other party again, his expression was indifferent, and he stepped on Tiangang again, but there was an extra red thread in his hand, which was wrapped around the seven-star sword and tied to his wrist.
"Up!"
The seven-star sword in his hand was raised, and while the red thread was connected to the sword body from his wrist, he was reciting words in his mouth, and every step under his feet was secretly combined with the heavenly and terrestrial branches of the surrounding Bagua Array.
"The law of heaven and earth, the wind helps me!"
The word 'I' fell, and his footsteps suddenly stopped at the 'Xun' position in the southeast, his fingertips were on the red line, and the moment the seven-star sword in his hand pointed to the sky, his hair 'whew' blew up.
Su Chen and Yigan Wenwu stood there quietly and watched, and they didn't have too many doubts about Zhuge Liang's side, after all, they had also heard that this Prime Minister Ji Han was a Taoist.
It is not clear which faction it is. Su Chen looked at him now, and even suspected for a moment that the Seven-Star Life Renewal Lantern might also be real.
"Hurry!"
Zhuge Liang's voice exhaled again, and everyone only felt that the wind direction had changed again. But this time, Zhuge Liang turned around in the middle of the formation and said to Su Chen: "Your Majesty, immediately let the ship prepare to go to sea, approaching the island, if Liang can't fight him, you can take advantage of me and him to snatch the direction of the wind, and kill the shore in one go!" ”
"Okay, Prime Minister take care!"
Su Chen arched his hand into the distance, and then looked at the surrounding generals, Qi Jiguang, Zhou Yu, and Gan Ning nodded one by one, without Su Chen's orders, they also knew what to do, and immediately, they turned around one after another, turned over and ran directly to the harbor, and beckoned the rest of the sailors to get on the boat.
"Set sail!" Su Chen jumped up from the horse's back, rowed high in the sky, and landed on the treasure ship's shipyard, with a loud 'whoosh' sound of his wide sleeves, and gave orders loudly.
The drum tower on the treasure ship suddenly sounded the rhythmic drum sound of 'dong dong dong'.
On the sea, the sails of the warships were raised, and the soldiers ran on the deck, or pushed them on the bow and stern with long oars.
After a short time, the warships on the periphery turned around and sailed away one after another, followed by the warships and cargo ships in the middle and innermost parts of the country also turned out one by one.
On the sea, rows of parallel sea ships, sailor soldiers waited on the quiet deck, constantly sorting out armor and weapons.
Gan Ning, Zhou Yu, and Qi Jiguang listened to the sound of war drums, observed the sea breeze that was constantly changing direction, clenched the handle of the knife, and kept silently reciting Lu Meng's name in their hearts.
Ziming...... Help us!
We will soon kill Wajima and avenge you!
Meanwhile.
The changing direction of the wind on the top of the mountain in the middle of Wajima alarmed Date Masamune, who was stationed in Nagano Castle, and he rushed to this side with several groups of Japanese soldiers, nervously looking at the altar on the stone platform and the various colored yin-yang flags that were shaking around him.
"Abe, what's going on?"
In front of the altar, Abe's eyes turned his face slightly, with a fox-like face, with an indifferent smile: "Doctor Zuojing, don't panic, small scene." ”
When the words fell, there was a fire splashing on the side of the altar, and the candle flame inserted in the furnace suddenly burst open, and Abe suddenly leaned back, but then straightened his body again.
"The people over there in Xia Guo are really persevering!"
He stretched out his slender white fingers to make a seal, and the flame that had just burst and extinguished was lit again: "It seems that I want to teach you some lessons!" ”
When the handprint was turned over, on the side of Tsushima Island, Zhuge Liang seemed to sense something, suddenly raised his hand, and slammed it into the air.
It was a solid 'pop' sound.
"Ahh
On the top of Wajima Mountain, Abe Aimei suddenly screamed, his handsome and fair cheeks were flushed, and Date Masamune, who was behind, heard the shout, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Small scene, it's okay!"
Abe turned his face sideways, and the right cheek was clearly printed with red finger prints, and he still replied lightly.
At this moment, when the attention of all the Japanese people here was focused on the stone platform, in the forest dozens of feet away, two figures lurked from a distance.
A muffled sound rang out in the forest, and a ninja was thrown to the ground with his neck broken.
"This is it, the guards are pretty tight...... Who's riding a horse over there? ”
"The great official among the Japanese people!"
In the grass, lurking behind the old man, was Lu Meng, whose upper body was wrapped in strips of cloth, and he carried a ring-headed knife, his eyes moved from the horseback general, and then moved to the stone platform.
"That's him!"
Lu Meng tightened his grip on the handle of the knife and moved slowly.
