Chapter 367: Lucky and unlucky
People who are missing arms, lame, and blind, even if they have only met once, are not easy to forget, because their characteristics are too obvious.
Nightshade was neither lacking arms, nor lame, nor blind.
But it is not easy for anyone who has seen him once to forget him - just because he has a cross scar on his face.
The cross scar is an inch long in the horizontal direction and shorter in the vertical direction.
The width of the scar is the same as that of the thumb.
Because the horizontal scar happens to be attached to the left corner of the mouth, it is difficult not to see this face in the dim light without thinking of it as a ghost with a bloody mouth.
Nightshade's face can also be called handsome, so it is greatly discounted, and it looks a little hideous and terrifying.
Jiang Yichen naturally had a deep impression of the cross scar of the night death, in addition to the pair of wolf-like pupils.
But Night Death rarely showed those eyes, and Jiang Yichen had never seen them since the battle of Yuntianguan.
"The cross scar had been wounded by a sharp weapon for many years, and it was still so striking that it was as deep as you can imagine when it was wounded, and the skin was open. Jiang Yichen thought back and analyzed, "But what did Ye Di leave when he fought with others?"
The old man said: "No, he drew it with a dagger." ”
When Jiang Yichen heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath, in his opinion, Ye Di is not the kind of gangster who bullies the weak and fears the hard, and acts viciously, let alone through that kind of self-harm trick to cover up his external strength.
Besides, if that's the case, you won't be so cruel to yourself, right?
So, why would a normal person torture himself by self-harm?
Do you want to forget the pain?
Or is it to remember hatred?
"It took me nearly a year to find out about the past of Nightfall. ”
can let the old man spend a year to investigate the details, which shows the old man's appreciation and attention to the night death.
The old man said: "I think you should remember Yin Li, right?"
Jiang Yichen said: "Remember." ”
The rivers and lakes are inseparable from love and hatred, Yin Li was cleared out of the Demon Palace, and his face was disgraced, which is directly related to Jiang Yichen.
After that, Yin Li conspired with several people in the rivers and lakes to snatch his peerless heavenly and broken plum hand, but he fell short and narrowly escaped his life.
After all these years, Jiang Yichen has never heard of Yin Li's news, but he doesn't dare to forget this person who has a grudge against him.
Just when he wondered what kind of connection Yin Li would have between Yin Li and Ye Di, he had already heard the old man continue: "Yin Li is the son of the head of the Yin family in Youjing and a woman who is a wind and smoke, and he was born not to be treated well, so his personality is a little distorted, and he acts ruthlessly. ”
The old man only clicked to the end, and then changed the conversation and said: "It was thirty years ago, the Yin family produced a beautiful embryo, entered the palace as a concubine, won the emperor's favor, and the lintel was glorious in one day. ”
"The Yin family is well versed in the way of a son of heaven and a courtier, so they took this opportunity to seek a job in the court and outside the court, and on the other hand to develop the family business in the capital and outside the capital. ”
"Relying on Concubine Yin's pillow wind, the Yin family turned over in just one month, and from an ordinary courtier's family, there was a faint background of the family. ”
The emperor turned a blind eye to this situation, but the Yin family had obviously caused a lot of impact on the old and new magnates of the imperial court. ”
In order to alleviate the conflict on all sides, the Yin family can only make some concessions to calm the anger of the public. ”
This concession is the sacrifice of the second son of the Yin family, and it is also the second leader of the Yin family, Yin Tianzheng. ”
"Do you know that the imperial court wants to punish a royal nobleman who has made a mistake, what other way is there besides capital punishment?"
Jiang Yichen said: "The women entered the cold palace, and the men were assigned to the border to fill the army. ”
The old man said: "Not bad. Yin Tianzheng didn't make a mistake, but for the sake of the family, even as the second son of the Yin family, he had to obey the arrangement of the current head of the family and go to guard the frontier. ”
At that time, Yin Tianzheng was only a weak crown age, and he had learned kung fu for a few years with the same Erjianghu master, and he also read some art of war out of interest, so the Yin family asked him to go to the military to practice, which was not without purpose. ”
With these foundations, plus the up and down behind the Yin family, although Yin Tianzheng was light, he soon became the chief of Ganzhou Town, Longdi, and quickly gained a firm foothold. ”
"At that time, there were occasional snooping movements across the border in Beidiwara, so the border soldiers had daily patrol tasks. ”
One day, Yin Tianzheng was patrolling the border with his team of ten people and was ambushed by the Warat soldiers. ”
"There are not many Nawarat soldiers, only three or two more than Yin Tianzheng and them, but the victory is unexpected, and they cut down three people as soon as they come up, so that the few people are basically in danger of being one against two. ”
"Fortunately, Yin Tianzheng already has some kung fu foundation, plus his selection of subordinates, the composition of the personnel is reasonable, and there are two veterans with good skills to turn the situation around with him and kill those Warat soldiers. ”
"There was a small episode in the process. ”
"This little episode is related to a soldier named Lu Shifang. ”
Lu Shifang is a year older than Yin Tianzheng, his family is poor, and he thinks that after joining the army, he can subsidize his family with those silver, so he joined the army. ”
"This person is upright, his body is not strong, but he has a brute strength. ”
Lu Shifang and Yin Tian entered the barracks at the same time, and they also slept together at the beginning. ”
Although both of them are recruits, killing and bloodshed, for Lu Shifang, he has only heard of it, and has never seen it, let alone experienced it himself. ”
"This time he was ambushed, and as soon as he came up, he killed two partners who usually talked and laughed, and Lu Shifang was obviously frightened. ”
When a group of people rose up to fight back, Lu Shifang just instinctively dodged and fled. ”
Rao still suffered a lot from his flesh and skin, especially the left side of his face. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yichen's heart moved, could it be that this road was the night death later?
But that happened thirty years ago, Lu Shifang was twenty-one years old at that time, and now Lu Shifang should have passed the year of the Mandate of Heaven, and Ye Di didn't look so old, the two were really the same person?
He was unable to completely avoid the Warat's knife, resulting in a vertical scar on the left side of his face, and then a wheel dart striking him in the face. The old man's voice continued.
The flywheel dart sank deep into Lu Shifang's flesh, right next to the corner of his left mouth. ”
After the pain, Lu Shifang almost fainted. ”
Just as the Warat people were about to take down another person after the victory, Yin Tianzheng saw that Lu Shifang's life was hanging by a thread, and he rushed to save Lu Shifang. ”
Lu Shifang was carried back to the barracks by Yin Tianzheng, and the injuries on his face were also too serious due to the injuries, leaving scars forever. ”
That night, Lu Shifang found Yin Tianzheng and thanked him for saving his life. ”
Yin Tianzheng solemnly told Lu Shifang that both of them came to the border for their families, and if they wanted to survive at the border, they must have courage. ”
Since then, Lu Shifang has practiced his basic skills hard, and often consulted with Yin Tianzheng, as if he had changed people. ”
Because the scar on his face looked too terrible, Lu Shifang was in the barracks, and there were almost no friends who could speak, and Yin Tianzheng also relied on his ability to gradually sit in the sentry officer in half a year, and was promoted to the position of guard, and there were fewer and fewer opportunities for the two to speak. ”
"Lu Shifang was also more and more able to fight, and was finally promoted to the position of chief. ”
In the course of one of his patrols, he rescued a fourteen-year-old boy. ”
"The boy is an orphan, the people of Ganzhou Town are not rich, no one wants to raise a mouthful, Lu Shifang saw that he was lonely, he couldn't bear it, so he took it with him, and waited for someone to take him in. ”
Lu Shifang used his spare time to teach the boy boxing, and read with the boy, so that he could do some odd jobs in the barracks, so as not to be treated as a person who came to eat and drink. ”
In the following year or two, the town of Ganzhou was harassed by several small-scale Warat troops, which were finally defused without danger. ”
In order to gain the initiative, the Ganzhou military camp, which already had a certain combat capacity, waved its troops north at the suggestion of Yin Tianzheng, who was already a general at the time, and was ready to thwart the sharp spirit of the Warat soldiers who had repeatedly wandered and provoked in the north. ”
"In that battle, the Zhongzhou army returned with a great victory, and the Wara soldiers were temporarily cleared out of the north, and they did not dare to commit it again for a while. ”
"In that battle, the deputy chief soldier unfortunately died, and Yin Tianzheng happened to take over. ”
"In that battle, Lu Shifang also became famous, and was called 'Killing Shifang'!"
"Because of that battle, the Yin family made a small contribution, Concubine Yin added a little fuel to the fire in the emperor's ears, and the Yin family operated behind the scenes, so they transferred the general army of Ganzhou Town to other places, and Yin Tianzheng sat on the top spot. ”
The Warat people also heard the news from somewhere, and quickly regrouped, wanting to attack the Ganzhou camp and avenge the arrow. ”
"After all, in the eyes of the Warat people, the last victory of the Ganzhou battalion was due to the flexible dispatch of the general army and the quick response, and Yin Tianzheng was still a little tender in the end, it was okay to be a staff officer, and it was too far-fetched to control the overall situation. ”
The fact is also as expected by the Warat people, in this battle, the Ganzhou battalion is no longer as unstoppable as before, but has repeated flaws and mistakes. ”
At this time, even Yin Tianzheng regretted that he was indeed not the material to lead the troops to fight, and this time he was reckless, and he was afraid that his life would be cut off. ”
"Who knew that when the balance of victory had tilted towards the Warat people, Lu Shifang killed again, and with that indomitable brute force, he killed the Quartet, and truly killed the ten parties. ”
"Marshal Warat was beheaded by Lu Shifang, and his army was defeated like a mountain. ”
"That battle was probably a defeat that the Warats would never want to remember, and they did not want to believe that someone could turn the tide of the battle with the strength of a reckless man, and they would rather believe that this man was an evil spirit. ”
"When you fight in blood, you are indeed no different from evil spirits. ”
"Lu Shifang is a great general in this battle, but he has always been grateful to Yin Tianzheng, and has never had the idea of fighting for merit, and Yin Tianzheng is the chief soldier of Ganzhou, and it is understandable that the credit is attributed to him. ”
The news of the great victory soon spread back to Youjing, and while the Yin family was glad that the second son had a great life, they also knew that it was time to take their heroes back to the capital for a peaceful birthday. ”
"After all, with the victory of those three years, Ganzhou Town is enough to obtain three years and five years of peace, and these great feats are enough to stop the mouths of the powerful people in the DPRK and China. ”
In the end, as the Yin family wished, Yin Tianzheng returned with honor, was named a mighty candidate, and gave a mansion. ”
The emperor even held a three-day feast in the court to congratulate this happy event. ”
"Lu Shifang and the boy were fortunate to follow Yin Tianzheng to the bustling capital. ”
"They could have enjoyed themselves here for the rest of their lives, but here happened the most unfortunate thing of their lives. ”
On the night of a feast, Lu Shifang bumped into a man and a woman stealing in the grass of the palace. ”
Lu Shifang saw that the woman was one of the emperor's concubines he had seen during the day, and he felt very bad. ”
"When he saw the face that looked back at him, he knew that his fate was at the end of his life......"
