Volume III Chapter 25 The Assassins
A few people roasted while eating, and ate while roasting, but unfortunately, because the guy Kong Qiu defined a gentleman, to "eat without saying a word, sleeping without a word".
Therefore, Gou Jian and Fengtong eat silently, without saying a word, without any sense of enthusiasm at the dinner in later generations, which makes eating barbecue a little less fun.
A lot of meat was prepared, and the bronze plate was big enough, Ah Qing didn't eat much, and after eating about the same, he roasted some and served it in a bowl, and stood up.
I saw her walk up to the four swordsmen and said with a smile: "You can also taste it, this barbecue is delicious!"
After saying that, they pulled some barbecue meat for one of the people in the bowl, looking at Ah Qing's clear eyes full of kindness, and the pure smile on her face, the four swordsmen were moved in their hearts and thanked them one after another.
Gou Jian looked at Ah Qing's figure, slowly put down the dagger, and sighed: "Changfeng, the widow understands a little, why do you love Ah Qing so much, the widow saw the shadow of Yayu in her." ”
Luo Changfeng, who was looking at Ah Qing sideways, had a gentle smile on his face, turned his head to look at Gou Jian, and said, "In this way, the king is also generally fond of the queen?"
Perhaps infected by Luo Changfeng's smile, Gou Jian's hard face also had a hint of softness, "That's nature." ”
Luo Changfeng nodded and said, "This is normal, although the king and the last general are monarchs and ministers and have different identities, we have one thing that is the same." ”
"Oh?"
"We're all men, and we're all good men. ”
Gou Jian was slightly stunned when he heard this, but the next moment he laughed out loud, "Hahahaha...... Well said, this is very popular, hahahaha......"
......
Early the next morning, the team set out again, crossed the Qiantang River, and soon passed through Yuhang, and before sunset, it had reached a place only more than 20 miles away from Maoli (later Jiaxing).
Still camped next to a small river, this time Luo Changfeng took A Qing to hunt a deer in the forest, and Gou Jian enjoyed another barbecue delicacy that was completely different from the copper plate grill.
After dinner, night had fallen, Gou Jian and Feng Tong Luo Changfeng A Qing sat around the bonfire to talk, Feng Tong Zhengse said to Luo Changfeng: "General Luo, now that we have arrived at the border of Wu State, we must be vigilant, don't give people a chance to take advantage of it." ”
Luo Changfeng said: "Doctor Feng can rest assured, Changfeng can save it, and I will ...... with Aqing."
As he was talking, Luo Changfeng's expression suddenly froze, his head turned slightly sideways, as if he was listening to something, but he finished the rest of the words casually, "I will pay attention to the guards." ”
Gou Jian and Feng Tong were slightly stunned when they saw this, and were about to open their mouths to inquire, but they saw Luo Changfeng holding up a finger against his chest and shaking it gently.
Although Ah Qing didn't know why, she was not stupid, she knew that Luo Changfeng had superhuman ear power, and even by listening to the sound, she could distinguish the form of things, and she was silent at the moment.
Gou Jian and Feng Tong finally realized that Luo Changfeng had discovered something, and they remained silent at the moment, just staring at him tightly, and did not look around.
Because they know very well that even if they turn their heads and look around, they will not be able to see anything clearly in the dark night, but they are prone to startle the snake.
After a few breaths, Luo Changfeng suddenly stood up and walked to the dark place behind him, A Qing asked in a coquettish voice, "Changfeng, why are you going?"
Luo Changfeng said in a normal voice: "I'll go to change my clothes (a euphemism for going to the toilet)." ”
"Oh!"
......
In a depression more than ten zhang away from the temporary camp of Yue Kingdom, on the other side of Luo Changfeng's departure direction, a black shadow lay quietly in the depression.
His whole body melted into the darkness, motionless, and even his breathing was extremely weak.
He is extremely patient, like an experienced hunter, quietly waiting for the moment when the prey reveals its flaws.
He didn't stare directly at Gou Jian and the others, because he knew that the peeping eyes would cause some kind of induction from the other party, so he just looked at Gou Jian and them with the corner of his eye.
Around where Gou Jian was located, there were not only four swordsmen patrolling back and forth, but also two teams of armor soldiers on guard.
He was an assassin, a more professional assassin than his grandfather, he didn't rush to kill, he would look for the most suitable opportunity, kill with one blow, and then evacuate without knowing it.
Unfortunately, this time he was doomed to failure, because he didn't know that there was an out-of-specification figure next to his mission goal.
"It's cold on the ground, so why don't you go and sit by the fire and talk. ”
A cold voice came from behind him, and his eyes suddenly widened, it was the swordsman who went to change his clothes, how could it be?
On this cold spring night, beads of sweat came out of his temples and slid down his cheeks, but the beads of sweat were cold.
He is also a decisive person, and since he has been discovered, there is nothing to say, but to fight to the death.
Fortunately, there is only one person on the other side, as long as you kill him, you may not have no possibility of escaping while you take advantage of the night.
Thinking of this, his hand slowly touched the hilt of the sword, his sword was very distinctive, the scabbard was cloth, and there would be no sound when it was unsheathed.
"If you don't want to die silently without even a word, I advise you not to touch your sword. ”
The voice behind him was a little colder, and he was shocked in his heart, could he see his movements?
In such a dark environment, even he couldn't see where his sword was, but he just remembered where it was placed, and the other party could clearly see his movements.
His heart sank.
......
Gou Jian and the others sat for a while, and then they heard a crisp sound of the long sword unsheathed.
"Qiang"
Everyone turned their heads in unison to look in that direction, and the four swordsmen and armorers were suddenly alarmed.
"There's movement over there, go check it out. ”
"Light the torch. ”
The four swordsmen rushed over in two of them, and a green shadow was faster than them, instantly passing them and rushing in the direction where the voice came from, who was it not Ah Qing?
Gou Jian and Feng Tong stood up, surrounded by two swordsmen and a team of armor soldiers with torches, and also walked that way.
After walking more than ten zhang, Gou Jian saw a man in black lying on the ground, his left hand covering the back of his right hand, blood was dripping from his fingers, and a three-foot long sword fell beside him.
That sword was very different from the sword of Yue Guo, the body of the sword was thinner than the sword of Yue Guo, and under the reflection of the torch fire, the treasure light on the blade flowed and changed.
Gou Jian picked it up and held it up in front of him to check it, but saw that Gou Jian's face was suddenly covered with a layer of cyan mist, which was really a sword aura, and his eyebrows were blue.
Gou Jian said in a deep voice: "It is a sword forged by Wind Beard himself, and if you can use this sword, it seems that your status is not low." ”
At this time, the assassin was pointed at his throat by Luo Changfeng with a long sword, and he didn't dare to move, and when he heard Gou Jian's words, he was just silent.
"Huh?" Gou Jian, who looked at the long sword, suddenly stared at his eyes, and he found that there was a word engraved near the hilt of the sword-鱄.
