Chapter Twenty-Three: Raising Troops and Brother Zong
The dancing girl who assassinated Li Lizun didn't move Zijin, could it be Nalan Chunni? Wu Shijiu's surprise was not trivial.
Mountains and mountains do not meet, people and people can always meet. Although the arrogant Nalan Chunni chose to leave voluntarily for a more promising future, in Wu Shijiu's mind, the good times spent together day and night still flashed from time to time.
Whether it's a good fate or a bad fate, the first love always teaches people to be unstoppable and linger. Maybe one night, in some dream, that person will still appear. I can't touch it, I can't say it, but I suddenly woke up, only to find that deep in my heart, there is still a selfish heart hidden in such a person.
In Wu Shijiu's heart, there is always such a place to hold that young love.
Zijin was dragged out of the hall without moving, Wu Shijiu had no intention of lingering, and quietly followed with light skills. Several guards led the people to a side hall and sent them into the room, and a maid brought in a wooden barrel and soup basin. Wu Shijiu watched from a distance, and after a while, several maids also retreated, and in the side hall, only Zijin was left.
Wu Shijiu quietly approached, poked a small hole in the window paper, and looked inside. I saw that the room was very luxuriously furnished, and there was a large bed against the wall in the center, covered with soft animal skins, and he was lying on the animal skins without moving, wearing only a layer of tulle, and his hands and feet were tied to the four corners, and he was constantly struggling.
Wu Shijiu carefully identified it, and saw that Wu Zijin looked exactly the same as Nalan Chunni, but between his expressions, there was no kind of coldness that swept his eyebrows and surpassed Su Xiao, but some were stubborn and strong.
He was about to break through the window to save people, but when he heard the door creak, a man in black flashed in, it was Yin and Yang. Not long after Wu Shijiu left, everyone in the hall dispersed, and Yin Wuyang was led by the guards and returned to his room.
He walked to the bed and bent down to look at the unmoved Zijin from head to toe, nodded slowly, and then slowly removed the veil covering his face, revealing a terrifying face. The face was unrecognizable from the eyes down. The nose and lips were all gone, and Bai Sensen's teeth were exposed, almost only a layer of skin was left, and if it weren't for the rolling of the eyes, it would be a skeleton. Wu Shijiu looked through the window, and was also shocked, as if he had seen a living ghost.
Yin Wuyang stretched out two hands, slowly fading the tulle on Zijin's body, and her long nails scratched her snow-white skin, as if admiring a work of art.
Both hands are missing their little fingers.
He took out a short knife and a porcelain vase from his arms, picked up the little finger of the unmoved Zijin and looked at it carefully, his expression immersed in it.
Suddenly, the window cracked, the wind blew in his face, and a hand grabbed at his face. Yin Wuyang raised his palm to block, but he didn't know that the attacker took a wrong step to the left under his feet, and turned his palm into a peck and went straight to the wind point behind his ear, he took a step back to avoid this move, and was about to fight back, when the figure of the person turned around, and he went to his right side like a ghost, and his forearm rose straight to his throat. It was so fast that he could barely react. Yin and Yang were shocked, only to feel that the palm shadow beside him was fluttering, and all parts of the body were shrouded by the other party's palm wind.
The person who made the shot was Wu Shijiu.
This rush forced the opponent into a hurry, and it was the power of the combination of the Nine Palaces Flying Step and the Innate Twelve Forms. Wu Shijiu attacked ten moves, and when he saw that the other party was blocking, he was still able to counterattack a few moves, and he couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, this person was among the top three and did have something outstanding.
He tried the Nine Palaces flying step for the first time, the real air in his body rotated, the direction of his feet changed, and the innate twelve moves were as fast as a move, and the more he fought, the more hearty he became.
In Yin Wuyang's view, the other party's figure is flickering, and every time he seals his retreat, the moves in his hands are even more powerful, and new moves emerge one after another, pointing to his own vital points. At first, you can fight back with one or two moves, but later you only have the power to parry. His mind turned, and suddenly he remembered someone.
"Wait!"
Yin Wuyang took a few steps back and stood against the wall, his eyes showing a frightened look: "I don't know that my predecessors are here, and I hope to forgive my sins." As he spoke, he slammed into the ground respectfully.
Wu Shijiu was stunned, he didn't know what tricks he was going to play, with his skills and identity, how could he suddenly give up resistance?
"Since being taught by my predecessors, Yin Wuyang has always kept in mind that I dare not kill indiscriminately. If the predecessors don't believe it, look at my face, it has been a long time since I used the power of yin and yang to suck the human marrow. ”
The Ghost Emperor, one of the three masters, suddenly became low, which was unbelievable. After hearing this, Wu Shijiu guessed that this old ghost might have mistaken himself for a certain master.
At this time, he was wearing a night suit, covering his face with a black cloth, and he didn't dare to reveal his identity, so he didn't move at the moment, but just "hummed".
Seeing that he no longer attacked, Yin Wuyang's heart was a little relieved: "Senior, rest assured, for a while, Yin Wuyang has been practicing by sucking the bone marrow of cattle and sheep, and he will never dare to kill or injure people again." ”
Wu Shijiu pointed to the immobile Zijin lying on the bed, and snorted heavily.
Yin Wuyang was dripping with cold sweat, and he hurriedly explained: "The seniors don't know, this cheap maid stabbed on the main hall just now, and she is already innocent. It was my junior brother who sent it here, and he was left to his fate, not his intention. ”
Seeing that Wu Shijiu didn't answer, he said: "Since the predecessors cut off the two little fingers under it as a punishment, Yin Wuyang has always been engraved in my heart, reminding myself from time to time that I don't dare to act arbitrarily. ”
Wu Shijiu thought to himself, no wonder the people who died under the hands of Yin Wuyang had their little fingers cut off and their faces peeled off, it turned out that he was punished by others, and his two little fingers were cut off, and he didn't dare to use the power of Yin and Yang to suck the human marrow, and his face was so thin that he couldn't see people. I think I have been holding a grudge all these years, and it has reached the point of psychopathy.
Yin Wuyang saw him standing there without speaking, his doubts gradually increased, his eyes rolled, and he said in a low voice: "I heard that my predecessor is already the guest of honor of Li Deming, the king of Xiping in Western Xia, I don't know why I came to the territory of Tubo, could it be that my junior brother invited me?"
Wu Shijiu was shocked: Could it be that he already knows my identity? Thinking again, no! I haven't revealed my identity so far, where did he guess where I came from? It seems that he can't stay here for a long time, and he needs to leave as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he flicked his sleeves and pretended to be very angry.
This trick really worked, Yin Wuyang hurriedly bowed down and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I have trespassed under the subordinates, and I should not inquire about the private affairs of the seniors, the seniors are far-sighted, and if they are not in the future, they must keep their whereabouts secret for the seniors." ”
Wu Shijiu didn't wait for him to finish, he hurriedly stepped forward and tore off the ropes on Zijin's hands and feet, wrapped her body in animal skin, and jumped out of the window with her armpits. Yin Wuyang hid on the side, how dare he stop it, but said loudly: "If the seniors like it, let the junior brother find a few more Tianxiang national colors to serve......"
Before the words were finished, Wu Shijiu had already gone far.
Jueru disguised as the head of a hundred households, Ashina Wei and several entourages dressed as soldiers of the Hehuang Iron Cavalry, before leaving, asked for the night patrol password from the officer who was knocked down, took the identity token, and went straight to the barracks in the west of the city.
At this time, it was dark, and most of the businesses along the street were closed. When passing by the palace complex, a person walked far across the street, and by the faint starlight, he could vaguely see that it was a young monk, holding a wine jug in his hand, humming a little song and burping, his body swaying, and passing by everyone.
Ashinawei always felt that something was wrong, and suddenly turned his head and said, "Slow!"
The young man looked back drunk, staggered and continued to move forward, but heard Ashina Wei sneer: "Don't you think you've met an acquaintance?"
When the young man heard this, he staggered back again, approached everyone one by one, and said indistinctly: "Acquaintances?
When he got in front of Jueru, he rubbed his eyes vigorously and muttered, "Oh, it's weird, I look in the mirror at night and scare myself?"
Ashinawei grabbed him by the neck, twisted his arm behind his back and pressed him to the ground, and shouted, "Say, did the demon monk make you disguise yourself as Jueru Zampu?"
Everyone has also discovered that this young man, regardless of his body shape or appearance, is similar to Jueruo. It seems that the person who pretended to be Jueru on the battlefield yesterday must be this person.
The young man was seven or eight points drunk, but he was suddenly caught by a group of people, and he woke up half of the wine in an instant, and stumbled and said: "Big bold, what are you, dare to intercept Jueru Zampu, and don't want to live." ”
Ashinawei put the knife on his neck and sneered: "Boy, your life is in an instant, and you are still talking nonsense, you will answer truthfully when I ask you, and if you make a mistake, I will teach you ......" said with a hard hand, cutting some flesh on his neck, and the blood immediately flowed down, and the boy screamed like a pig: "Grandpa spares his life, grandpa spares his life." ”
An attendant slapped his hand and shouted in a low voice: "Be quiet, if you dare to shout and scream, I will kill you immediately." ”
The young man was covered in chaff, lowered his voice and said, "Yes, what the grandfathers ask the little ones to do, the little ones will do it." ”
Jueru waved his hand, signaling everyone not to scare him, and said softly, "What's your name?
"Small...... The little one is called Ba Jiao Jidan, and he used to live in this brother city, and his parents died early, leaving me alone, doing nothing every day, and living by stealing some property. ”
Everyone thought to themselves, it turned out that this kid was an idle thief.
"How did Li Lizun find you?"
"The little one was hungry once, and stole the rich man's glutinous rice, and was chased and beaten in the street, and the holy monk ...... Ah no, yes, the demon monk happened to pass by, and he saw that I looked like you...... No, no, I was very similar to Jueru's grandfather, so he took me into the house and raised me, saying that one day I would have to work as a small dog and horse. The little ones covet comfort, and they ...... Just ......"
Jueru and the others looked at each other and finally understood. It seems that Li Lizun has been ready for a long time to abolish Jueru's Zampu status at any time. Now he took Zampu to order Zhubo, pacify the six valleys in Hexi, recover Hehuang, and the next step is to take Luo Shan and other chieftain tribes, and the unification of Tubo is just around the corner. Jue Ru's name is no longer important to him.
Ashina said hatefully: "This demon monk's intentions are sinister, and they are really hateful. This kind of waste wood is also a scourge to keep. "When he raised his knife, he was about to kill Ba Jiao, but he was stopped by Jueru.
"Slowly, the bell must be tied to the bell, yesterday in front of the battle, this person dressed up as me to make a fool of himself, and lost face in front of the river Huang Iron Horseman, and now we have already lost our trust. If you want to convince people to believe in us, this person is the key. ”
"yes, I didn't think of this layer. Ashinawei put the knife back on Ba Jidan's neck: "Boy, do you want to die or live?"
"If you want to live, if you want to live, grandpas can let the little ones do anything, as long as they spare my little life. ”
"If you want to live, you can do whatever I ask you to do next, otherwise you will ......" Ashina Wei shook the knife, and was stunned and hurriedly said: "Understand, understand, everything small is to do it." ”
The group agreed, and walked to the barracks with Ba Dan in a daze, and after a short time, they came to the camp gate. The sergeant guarding the door saw it from a distance and shouted: "What kind of person, trespassing on the barracks in the middle of the night." ”
Ashinawei lowered his voice and scolded: "Blind your dog's eyes, don't you see that it's Lord Zampu?" said and put a dagger on the waist of Ba Jidan.
Ba was also smart the next day, and without waiting for everyone's signal, he opened his voice and said: "Entrusted by the holy monk, let me inspect the military camp tonight, what are you waiting for if you don't open the door?"
"Huh...... Who is my Dao, it turned out to be Lord Zampu. When the sergeant saw Ba Dan, his expression was a little disapproving.
"Since it is entrusted by the holy monk, it is indispensable to ask the lord, what is the password for tonight's inspection?"
Jueru said on the side: "Sanjay Dorjee...... I have a passtoken here. Saying that, he raised the centurion's token, and the sergeant guarding the gate was not afraid of being stunned, but he was very afraid of this token, and hurriedly said: "Don't blame the adults, the little ones are also acting on orders, come here, open the camp gate quickly." ”
