Fifty-four rounds: Yapokou Zhenxing chasing bandits, Meijintu Village, Longbei Mountain
Before the night was deep, Poplar's sword was very fast, and the package burst into white smoke.
A burst of white smoke spread, and Mei Jin said: "Don't mess with the party and run away", the sergeants thought about picking up their knives and guns to fight with this gang of outlaws. As soon as the woman's words fell, several villagers picked up shovels and killed several sergeants.
A fight unfolds in the white smoke, and although the villagers are armed with farm tools, they are also lethal, and those villagers seem to rush out like outlaws. Poplar heard a sound of light skills in the white smoke, and everywhere the sound went, it seemed that there were screams of soldiers This group of villagers has not practiced martial arts, but only relies on brute force to fight with the soldiers, they will not have such strong martial arts. I think only that woman can have such martial arts.
A villager hit the poplar's horse with a hoe, and the poplar stumbled and fell under the horse. The villager desperately struck the poplar with his hoe, and the poplar struck it with a sword, cutting off half of his hoe, and now the man was left with a bare wooden stick in his hand. When the villagers saw Poplar's sword, they panicked, and at this moment, several villagers rushed out of the white mist, and the villagers surrounded Poplar. Their rakes, shovels, axes, and knives all slew at the poplars. Seeing this, Bai Yang slashed with a sword, and as soon as the sword qi came out, he directly repelled the group of villagers. The tools of those people were also cut in half at the moment.
"You are also bewitched by others, now give you a chance, quickly bring your villagers to surrender together, and tell those who bewitch you and others, you can have life, if you and others insist on fighting, there is only a dead end" Poplar Road.
The villagers were a little stunned when they heard this, and when they were young, they clenched their fists and killed the poplars, and the poplars sighed, and after a sword slash, the villagers all fell.
At this time, Poplar listened carefully to the sound of light work, surrounded by the sound of fighting, the white smoke gradually dispersed, and some villagers surrounded him, the villagers were holding knives and axes, there were men and women, in addition to some middle-aged men, there were also some middle-aged women. Seeing this, Poplar only resisted with a sword, and the ** person fought desperately around Poplar, and scolded in his mouth, although Poplar only used a slight skill to resist, but those people's knives were also fierce, and they had lost the upper hand for a while.
Poplar blocked the swords, and after swinging his sword, he saw Mei Jin who was fighting with the woman. Mei Jin saw that Bai Yang was under siege, and after slapping the woman, he withdrew far away, and immediately shouted to Bai Yang: "Commander Bai, you must not show mercy to your subordinates at this moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fought with the woman again. Poplar's sword once again blocked the attack of those villagers, and after performing a light leap, one flip turned and stabbed down, and the sword qi burst out from the group of people, who were all injured by the sword qi of the poplar, and fell to the ground and groaned. At this moment, three or four more villagers killed, and Poplar jumped up with a light skill, and killed the woman who was fighting with Mei Jin with a sword, and the woman saw Poplar's sword killing, and retreated with an arrow, and the three fell to the ground one after another.
Bai Yang said: "You go to deal with those villagers, I will fight with her" He never wanted to kill these villagers who were bewitched, they had no martial arts, and attacked themselves like they were evil. He knew that he could destroy it with three successful forces, but they had never intended to overthrow the court, nor were they the initiators, and as far as he was concerned, they did not deserve to die.
But Baiyang never thought that if they really didn't have their own ideas, why would they still be bewitched by others to oppose the court after the government punished those who broke the law with them? For them, slashing with knives and axes seemed to have more hope than cultivating the land in this barren land, but there are countless such villages in the entire northwest, why would they be the only ones who would do this? Maybe they think they are heroes, but how could heroes have ever done such a thing?
After Mei Jin returned the order, she rushed to the crowd in the middle of the fight, picked up the firewood knife on the ground, and fought with the sergeants against the group of villagers.
Poplar's sword reflected the cold air of the moonlight, and the woman said: "I think Your Excellency is a master of using swords, but I am currently unarmed, and Your Excellency's swordsmanship is superb, if I think about it, I will soon die under Your sword." ”
"You have bewitched the villagers and made them such outlaws, and now you still want to talk to me about the rules of the rivers and lakes?"
The woman said: "Your Excellency's righteous words are indeed a righteous qi, but I don't know if Your Excellency is always a righteous qi?"
Poplar said: "Don't talk nonsense, look at the sword"
The two fought, and the woman took out two daggers from her ankles and held up Poplar's sword, and Poplar said, "If my brother suppresses you or defeats you, and the dagger on your ankle strikes a sneak attack, he will probably be more than lucky." If I fight with you empty-handed, I think you will do the same. So you still talk to me about the morality of the rivers and lakes."
The woman said, "Since you say that I am a demon, it is reasonable for me to do so."
Bai Yang didn't reply, the swordsmanship came out again, and the two fought for more than 20 rounds, but before the winner could be decided, Bai Yang's swordsmanship became faster and faster, and the sword qi came out frequently, and the woman began to gradually lose the upper hand.
The sword stabbed out again, and the dagger on the woman's left hand was directly knocked away by the sword qi, and the tiger's mouth was bruised by the sword qi, and a thin wound appeared.
Poplar didn't give her any chance, and continued to kill her with his sword, and the woman fought and retreated, shouting, "Retreat"
As soon as the words fell, the villagers also returned to the village, but at this time they were all surrounded by sergeants. The sergeants killed fiercely, and there was not much left at the moment.
Poplar jumped into the encirclement, only to see the woman and some villagers with swords. Bai Yang said: "Fellow villagers, it is really helpless to fight with you today, I don't know who has bewitched you to fight so desperately. Many years ago, because he was not virtuous and ignorant, he was affected by the crooked ways of the tooth wife and the abductor, and now
Do you want to repeat the mistakes of the past?"
There are people among the villagers: "There is no need to wait for words in this poor mountain and bad water, the court doesn't care about farming, just kill the head, what do you say now?"
Mei Jin said: "No matter farming, just kill the head? Every year, the imperial court will send official silver to the barren countryside to grow grain, I don't know where you will use it?"
"Where did the silver taels, why didn't we see it, it must have been coveted by the officials there, you officials and officials have been embezzled by you, where is the silver money to us?" said an old woman viciously.
Bai Yang said: "There is no evidence for the words, there are records of the distribution of silver coins in the government office, and after the money is distributed to the county government to which the village belongs, Li Zheng came to collect it." If it is true, you can forgive you and others for their innocence, if you spread rumors for no reason and prevent the court from arresting the rebellious party, the sergeants will correct the law on the spot."
The woman said, "If you bring their people into the government, they will be sheep in the mouth of a tiger." ”
"That's right...... Yes, no, no," the villagers shouted.
Bai Yang said: "I don't know if they went to the mansion to enter the tiger's mouth, or did they believe that they had already entered the tiger's mouth?"
"Commander Bai, you don't have to talk to them anymore, a bunch of stubborn people. No matter where the money of the imperial court goes, this is not a reason why they can buy and sell people wantonly. Those people were bought and sold involuntarily, and many of them lost their lives here. The money in the imperial court is the reason why you can disregard the law and discipline in such a way? Moreover, you are having an affair with Ya Po and the kidnapper, and I think that all the money that comes to the court will fall into his pocket, right? If you are really destitute, then why do you have the money to buy those abducted people?" Mei Jin said.
The woman said, "If you say that they have no evidence to slander the court officials, aren't you also slandering them at will?"
Mei Jin said: "Commander Bai, don't bother to speak, order the slaughter of the village"
Bai Yang didn't reply at this time, and the woman continued: "Okay, everyone, we will fight them to the death today, if we can break out of the encirclement, the people of the Heavenly Dao will come to save you, if we are unfortunately killed in battle, the people in the Heavenly Dao will definitely avenge us."
Mei Jin said: "The people in the Heavenly Dao will avenge you, and you don't know if you have become their marionette?"
Those villagers clenched their swords at this moment, Bai Yang's sword did not move, Mei Jin said: "Commander Bai, I can't educate these people at this moment." Although Commander Bai has a good heart, if I don't kill all the time, I am afraid that more sergeants will be injured, Commander Bai, give the order quickly."
The woman said, "Don't be kind and pretend." ”
Poplar closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and shouted: "Listen to my orders, kill the rebels"
The sound of fighting resumed, and the moon was a little dim today, as if it was going to be cloudy here tomorrow, and the dim red clouds covered the moonlight, and even the stars could not be seen.
The villagers' knives made them even more desperate, and even the old men went mad and slashed, though it wasn't long before they fell in pools of blood. Poplar's sword was fast, and the woman was pressed step by step, and although the dagger frequently made dangerous moves, it was all defused by Poplar. She tried to escape from the encirclement several times, but every time she used light skills to jump out of the encirclement, she was caught up by Bai Yang, Bai Yang's sword style was very fast, and the sword qi had swept over the woman's cheek several times. At this time, her face had been scraped with two faint blood marks.
The last time, she turned and leaped high, and the dagger swirled in a whirlwind. Poplar's sword style pressed up, only to see that after the dagger killed him, Poplar swept forward with a sword, and the dagger touched the blade, and the internal force shook Poplar back several steps. The woman took advantage of the situation and ran out of the encirclement and towards the village.
Poplar made a comeback and chased after the woman. Poplar's light skills were very good, and the woman was about to be overtaken, but she ran to a barn, picked up a firewood knife from the table, and swept out some hay with one sword, and Poplar saw this, and cut off all the haystacks. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the woman ran a long way away, and Poplar caught up with her, and the two of them ran through the village one after the other, and soon ran to the mountainside.
The woman was already out of breath at this time, and her light power was greatly reduced, but Poplar was still chasing after her. Poplar was about to catch up with the woman, but the woman stopped on the mountain road, the firewood knife was clenched, and Poplar had jumped in front of him at this time.
"Your light skills are good, with the help of the houses in the village, you have been dealing with me for so long. It was a great effort to throw all the hay and ingredients at me, and even release the cows from the cowshed. That's right, let so many villagers sell their lives, let them believe in your 'lofty ambition', they believe what they see, hahahaha...... There are really people in this world who can't tell right from wrong, but they still think they have this ability. It's not terrible to be stupid, it's terrible to know that you're stupid but still think you're smart. And the pity is that they are also used by people in the Heavenly Dao. ”
The woman looked at the battle in the village in the mountains, and at this time the villagers seemed to be few of them, but they were still resisting. She smiled and said, "Commander Bai is really smart, but so what? The current emperor is still martial and mediocre, and he just wants to expand his territory, but he doesn't expect the people to suffer, if not, how can we easily pull him to fight against you?"
Bai Yang said: "The kings of the past dynasties have made achievements in expanding their territory, and in recent years, the imperial court has reduced and exempted miscellaneous taxes, and has set up six departments to supervise the interior, and the six departments have acted closely with each other. Last year, I overturned the Dongting corruption case and recovered the embezzled silver, and the shopkeeper Zhang among your yellow weevils was Yu Qing, who escaped at that time. They colluded with officials, wantonly inflated the price of water transportation, and did all kinds of criminal work under their hands, and they were also involved in the case of officials of the Ministry of Rites leaking the questions of the imperial examination
He is regarded as a guest, and now he still has the face to say that the court is not, which is shameless."
The woman said: "Commander Bai is good at speaking, but what we believe in is inconsistent, and no one can convince anyone." You wait for your life, and we wait for you to work for the way of heaven, not people along the way, so be it."
Bai Yang said: "We believe in loyalty and patriotism, keep justice, and denounce evil, and what you serve is evil."
"Good or evil?" said the woman.
"Harming innocent people for their own benefit, this is how evil is initiating such a ridiculous questioning here, thinking that he knows the way of heaven, and you think that he is much smarter than those villagers, what are the similarities and differences between you and those villagers?
The woman wanted to refute, but by this time all the sergeants had arrived on the mountain, and Mei Jin had already made peace with Poplar. Mei Jindao: "You are already a bandit at the end of the road at the moment, and you will not be caught yet?"
"Hahaha...... If I want to be caught, why do I have to run to this mountain?" said the woman.
"People in the Heavenly Dao, what else do you want to say before you die?" Mei Jin said.
The woman clenched the firewood knife in her hand tightly, and said: "It is better to die in your own hands than to die in your own hands" After that, the firewood knife was about to kill herself, and the poplar sword rose with a sword, and the sword qi flew up and opened the firewood knife. Seeing this, the woman immediately ran to the edge of the cliff on the hillside, and Poplar said, "Hugh go."
The woman jumped towards the cliff and was caught by Poplar, who nailed his sword to the edge of the cliff, and the two of them hung in the air. Mei Jin said: "Go and save Commander Bai" The sergeants ran down the cliff one after another.
Poplar grabbed the woman's left arm, and the woman said, "Want to catch it alive?"
"It's not that easy to die," Poplar said.
The woman waved the knife in her right hand, and before Poplar could react, the woman screamed, and her left arm was still beating a few times in Poplar's hand, but the whole person had fallen off the cliff.
Bai Yang took the sword, jumped and fell softly to the hillside, put the left hand cut off by the woman in his hand aside, Mei Jin looked at the left hand that was no longer moving, and said: "This woman is really stubborn, and now she has jumped off the cliff...... Commander Bai, if she escapes at the bottom of the cliff, she may have trouble......"
"Half of the sergeant and Brother Mei stayed here to take care of the aftermath of the brothers and the villagers, and half of the sergeant followed me down the mountain to look for it," said Poplar.
It was very late at night, and Bai Yang and the others went out of the village to look for them at the bottom of the slope. Mei Jin and the others returned to the village, looked at the houses, and said, "Drag the corpses of those villagers to the village." Set a fire, burn the corpses of the brothers in this stubborn village, and bury them at the entrance of the village, and all the brothers must set up signs. ”
After the sergeants returned the order, Mei Jin went out of the village.
Poplar and the others searched carefully at the bottom of the hillside, and the sergeants lit torches and lamps and searched everywhere. "My lord, this way"
Upon hearing the news, Poplar went to the place where the sergeant made his noise. I saw a large area of blood, but the person was gone. Poplar said: "Follow the blood"
The sergeants followed the trail of blood, which was gone when it came to an end.
The wind blew in the night, and the moonlight had just peeked out, and the clouds had dispersed.
"My lord, this ...... The blood was gone, and there was no trace of wiping," the soldier said.
Poplar said, "Why do you ...... like this?" he drew his sword, stabbed the ground a few times, and said to himself, "Sand land...... How so?"
"My lord, this woman is seriously injured, and she fell from such a high place, even if she is light, if she is not careful, she can be injured, and she has no arm, the wound is still bleeding, if not treated in time, it will be life-threatening. And I have set up sergeants in all states and counties, and martial law is everywhere, so it is not difficult to catch her. The deputy sergeant major beside Poplar said.
Bai Yang said: "Although she is wounded, we are currently informing the state and county sergeants that it is too late, and if she passes the customs in a fool's way, it will be difficult for us to track her......"
The deputy sergeant major said: "We and the Ganliang army have rules when guarding, if a person is injured by a knife and axe, he must be immediately detained and sent to the county government for interrogation, and it is not easy for the woman to escape." ”
Bai Yang nodded, and when he was thinking about it, Mei Jin and the others arrived.
"Commander Bai, is this person gone?" asked Mei Jin.
Poplar informed Mei Jin of the tracking, and Mei Jin squatted down to look at the ground under the firelight, and at the end of the bloodstain, it was all surprisingly gone.
Mei Jin suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the soles of her feet, and immediately used light skills to jump straight up, and the floor sank.
Dozens of darts rushed straight at Mei Jin, who couldn't dodge and was hit by the darts and fell to the ground. "Brother Mei" Bai Yang shouted, and took Mei Jin with light skills.
Mei Jin looked at the dart on her left abdomen, and said intermittently: "She's underground...... Want to come here to the old ......."
The pain was too intense, Mei Jin's forehead was already covered with sweat at this time, and it was a little difficult to speak. In addition to his left abdomen, his right shoulder socket and right rib side were also hit by darts.
Bai Yang took out a pill and said, "Brother Mei ate this first."
Mei Jin swallowed the pill, used his internal strength slightly, and said, "The dart hit too deeply, and I think it will hurt me seriously, and I ...... It's also life-threatening......"
"Brother Mei, don't think about these ......" After that, Poplar infused his internal force into his body to heal his wounds, and said to the rest of the soldiers: "Don't get close to that trap"
Mei Jin said intermittently: "Ignite it immediately...... Burned this dungeon ......."
Baiyang didn't reply at the moment, and he was still healing his injuries in Weimei Jin. Several of the soldiers immediately threw their torches into the trap, and at the same time poured all the oil they had with them.
