Chapter 58: Stormy (4)
The "dry firewood" fell to the ground, but the movement was similar to that of a big stone, and a large area of muddy water was splashed around.
On my sleepless feet, I could still feel the shaking of the ground it knocked out.
He calmly asked, "Is this dry firewood?" Whose dry firewood would be so heavy? ”
The little minion cried with a sad face, and said innocently: "The big boss also knows that it is heavy, but the dog Taibao doesn't know!" Dry firewood, dry firewood, the most important thing is that there is no water, there is no water, no matter how heavy it is, it is about to flatten the small one! ”
The night was sleepless and silent, and the dragon scale iron sheath sword in his hand flashed coldly, only a "snort" sounded, and the "dry firewood" was divided into two halves.
"Crackling", from the middle of the "dry firewood", scattered a lot of stones, powder, dirt and other things.
Sleepless squatted down, grabbed a handful of the mixture, and sniffed it near his nose.
His face suddenly changed.
"A pungent, choking smell, it's ...... Saltpeter? ”
His body shook.
On the other side of the rain curtain, a sneer came, it was Wu Zhangshi's voice: "Hehe, King Zhang, now you finally see the clues?" Anyway, the official simply didn't pretend. ”
Wu Zhangshi laughed and said: "These stupid minions under your hands, and our Jinyi guards, bundle after bundle, stack after stack, I'm afraid that thousands of catties of explosives have been transported up the mountain!" ”
The sound was extremely penetrating, piercing the rain curtain and shaking every drop of raindrops.
At that time, many minions heard the word "explosives" clearly, and panic sounded.
Sleepless at night was about to speak, but he heard a crackling explosion from the far side of the mountain.
The sound was not the sound of explosives, but rather the explosion of firecrackers gathered together. It was muffled in the rain, as if it was a perfect sound sung with life.
It only rang for a while, and then stopped, only the mountains and valleys still echoed the last afterglow.
Sleepless suddenly understood, and said in his heart: "I'm afraid that the two Taibao who are ambushed next to the official road will be in danger and will sound firecrackers to warn!" ”
"It's really embarrassing for them, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to light a bunch of wet firecrackers."
Just as he was thinking, Wu Zhangshi came out of the darkness, raised a long sword with his left hand, pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, and shouted loudly as he waited to pull it out:
"Where is Jin Yiwei? Capture Zhang Daqiu alive, step on the Black Elk Peak, make meritorious contributions, and seal his wife and son, only tonight! ”
"Poof!"
The long sword came out of the box, and the cold light shimmered.
Above the tip of the sword, the edge was exposed, as bright as the stars of the Big Dipper, guiding the brocade-clothed captain hidden in the crowd.
Almost at the same time, the sound of drawing swords and drawing swords sounded one after another, followed by the muffled snorts of people, the roars of reactions, the sounds of confrontation, the sounds of fighting with the striking, the sounds of escape, exclamations, and screams.
All kinds of voices were loud and loud.
The entire dimly lit high chair slope suddenly became a mess.
Jinyiwei, who was hiding among the bandits, ignited the first bundle of explosives, and the chaos was brought to a climax.
It was raining in the sky and explosions on the ground were constantly exploding, without interfering with each other.
When there was an explosion, the firelight reflected on the sleepless face, and it was bright for a while, and it was pale for a while.
The dragon scale iron sheath long sword in his hand was wielded, and the powerful killing moves were frequent, without mercy.
It can really be said that if you stab it, you will see blood, and if you cut it off, you will see your head.
The captain of the brocade clothes who wanted to come close to attack him was killed by him several times in a row.
Maybe at this time, they can't be called "brocade" captains.
In order to complete tonight's raid plan, Jin Yiwei arranged for a spy to infiltrate the Black Elk Peak very early.
That person is also a strange person, and after taking over the gang at night, he became one of the thirteen Taibao, that is, the Taibao who went down the mountain to buy firewood last night.
This spy Taibao, under the pretext of going down the mountain to buy firewood, is actually arranging internal responses.
He first killed all the little minions who followed him and replaced them with the people of the brocade guard; Subsequently, explosives and other materials were entrained in the dry firewood bought, and the fish eyes were mixed with pearls and transported to the Black Elk Peak.
If you want to go to Black Elk Peak and trick the bandits to carry the explosives, these brocade-clothed captains naturally can't wear the outfits of the brocade guards, they are all dressed as bandits.
Therefore, from the perspective of sleepless nights, it is completely unclear who is the captain of Jinyi and who is the thief.
can only kill those who come to attack him as Jinyi Guard.
He wields his sword like a demon and drinks blood like madness.
The poems of the Tang people say it best: a sword frost and fourteen states.
At this moment, his tricks also have the charm of two or three points.
……
The sword did not shrink in the slightest, but his heart was terrified.
Now that I think about it, since Zhang Daqiu received the letter, the layout of Jinyiwei has been settled.
On the one hand, it is to send undercover agents to infiltrate Black Elk Peak, and on the other hand, it is to select candidates who pretend to be merchants and prepare explosives, weapons and other "props".
As soon as everything was ready, he used the "response" opportunity created by the letter, pretended to be a merchant, followed Zhang Daqiu, and successfully blended into the Black Elk Peak.
So at a very small cost, from the inside out, the Black Elk Gang will be wiped out.
As for the letter, whether it was written by Jin Yiwei by forging Luo Fanxi's handwriting, or whether there was really this letter, it is just that it was calculated after being intercepted by Jin Yiwei, it is unknown.
At least Jinyiwei's purpose has been achieved.
The funny thing is that this incident has nothing to do with sleepless nights. Jin Yiwei's plans are all aimed at Zhang Daqiu.
Helplessly, he was concerned about the cause of Luo Fanxi's death, and in order to connect with Wu Zhang, he pretended to be Zhang Daqiu.
Now, this series of causes and effects has to be experienced by him.
This made people of later generations can't help but chant the famous sentence in "Dream of Red Mansions":
When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is no place for inaction.
At this moment, I wanted to take off the mask on my face immediately, and shouted: "I am not Zhang Daqiu!" ”
However, the difference between Li Kui and Li Ghost is probably not what Jin Yiwei cares about.
All they want is a result, that is, to capture a thief with a mole on his face and return with a big ball, and then they can make a difference.
As for the true face under the mole, who cares?
If he takes off his fake face to prove his innocence, there will be countless people with lofty ideals in Jinyiwei to put it back on for him.
Sleepless came from the north, and heard about the border war.
On the borders where the royal law is lax, there are widespread cases of killing good people and taking meritorious deeds.
Good people are innocent, but they also suffer from flying disasters; Not to mention himself, he was already acting as a thief.
At this moment, a sense of absurdity, funny, the impermanence of life fate, and the loss after the end of tragicomedy gradually rose from the deepest part of the heart and rushed to the top.
With one sword after another, he cut off one after another the heads of the brocade-clothed captains.
The last expressions on those skulls seemed to be mocking him.
Even the blood light is absurdly unreal.
Just when he was lost and depressed, in the noise, a surprised voice flew out from the side of Wu Zhangshi.
One person said loudly: "Qian Qianhu! Look at the comrades who were killed by that thief, the fatal wounds on their corpses were similar to the wounds of the son of Boning!
The humble position boldly speculated that the real murderer of the son of Boning was the thief! ”
