Chapter 18: The Number of Lives (I)
He traveled on the water for ten days, and went up to the shore.
The two of them walked out of a hotel on the dock, eating comfortably, at this time the autumn wind blew, and the wine increased a little, Kou Zhong wandered through the lively scene of people and cars fighting on the street, and said: "Boss, why are we going outside the city now? The price of salt here is not expensive!"
"You're right, it's true that the price of salt here is not expensive, but if we drink wine and eat meat, we won't sell some salt, and we won't have any money to pay for the road in the future. Zhang Xuanning said with a smile: "Besides, if we want to take the salt road, we have to figure out the situation along the way, we will get two bags of salt, go down to the village to feel the situation, and see what other ways and trades there are." ”
Kou Zhong nodded and said, "That's right, there's always some business." ”
Zhang Xuanning also drank too much: "When you drank just now, didn't you shout that you want to make a meritorious career?
Kou Zhong smiled and said, "Hey, just now, frankly speaking, although I have this idea, but now we have no virtue, how can we make some money first!"
Zhang Xuanning said with a wry smile: "There are such cheap things in the world, and the business is not so easy, and the money earned is hard money!"
The four younger brothers in the back each carried half a bag of salt on their backs, and Kou Zhong and Zhang Xuanning walked towards the outside of the city while talking, and as they spoke, the two became more and more tacit, and their mood became even happier.
After walking for a while, Kou Zhong suddenly said "Huh", pointed to the sky in the distance and said, "What is that?"
Zhang Xuanning was shocked in his heart, and saw the red light flashing: "This is fire!"
Kou Zhong jumped up and said, "Let's go and see!"
"No, let's see what happens. Zhang Xuanning's eyes were solemn: "Our new junior brother, martial arts are not good yet, if it is affected, it will be ugly." ”
Although Kou Zhong was eager to try, but under such an order, he still barely held himself, and the six of them listened carefully, and sure enough, there were bursts of fighting and killing, faintly heard in the wind.
Kou Zhong said, "Let's go up and have a look." ”
As he spoke, he asked the four younger brothers to unload the salt goods.
Zhang Xuanning had murderous intent in his heart, but he responded: "Let's go and see the situation first." ”
From the woods at the hidden point, I looked over, and saw a township, which had been on fire, and one side was the Sui soldiers, about 2,000, but in this township, there were big men in strong uniforms, and they actually numbered thousands, and they were also very brave, but compared to the organization of the army, it was still inferior, and they resisted desperately.
Everywhere the Sui soldiers went, they not only set fires, but also slaughtered apparently innocent villagers, men, women, and children, whose corpses were still bleeding red.
Kou Zhong burst into tears, angry, and was about to draw his sword, but was stopped by Zhang Xuanning, who had already prepared.
"Master Incense, what are you pulling me for?"
"Did you see, there are hundreds of archers outside, even if we want to go forward and kill, we have to talk about some strategy, we can sneak up there and kill one by one. Zhang Xuanning's face was solemn, and as he spoke, he pulled out his knife.
"Master incense, what you said is, then let's change directions. Kou Zhong said eagerly, he lowered his body and was about to sneak forward, Zhang Xuanning was already in his hand with the long knife at this time, only half a foot with him, at that moment, he did not hesitate to stab behind him, stabbed with the long knife, and the heart reached his hand, only to hear a "poof", stabbed straight down from Kou Zhong's back, and penetrated out of his chest.
Kou Zhong's mouth gurgled and he barely turned his head, trying to say something, but blood was already splattering in his mouth.
"On the orders of Master Su, kill this rebel!" Zhang Xuanning raised his voice a little and said, and said with a low sneer: "If I let you go, you will be beyond my control, the way of fate is nothing more than that!"
Even if you don't know the way of fate, with wisdom, you can understand that if Kou Zhong rushes down, with Xiaoqiang's life, he will not die, but he may be scattered, so Xiaoqiang Kou Zhong can be free.
As he spoke, his hand had already stirred hard, stirring his internal organs into a mess, Kou Zhong's vitality should be extremely strong, just like that, he was not dead for a while, Zhang Xuanning did not hesitate, took out a long knife, and slashed at his neck, at this moment, only the sound of arrows was heard, and a row of arrows came quickly.
Zhang Xuanning was between the tongues of lightning and fire, refusing to avoid it, the long knife was directed, Kou Zhong's neck was not iron, and he was immediately cut off, and his head rolled to the ground.
"Poof!" Although his body was twisted as much as possible, a long arrow still grazed his shoulder, grazing a piece of flesh and blood, Zhang Xuanning hurriedly rolled to the ground and retreated backwards.
At this moment, dense footsteps rushed in their direction, and hundreds of Sui soldiers, each armed with spears, commanded by the army, shouted and rushed forward.
Zhang Xuanning's expression was like ice, and he backhanded the two newly recruited around him, the young man who was about to be consumed was killed on the spot, and the other two fled in a hurry, and the other walked towards the Sui soldiers.
I only felt that my eyes lit up, and more than a dozen spears were thrown at him, Zhang Xuan condensed at this critical moment of life and death, and the true qi in his body was running rapidly, and he clearly grasped the angle and time of arrival of each spear thrown at them.
The long knife in his hand was thrown, like a tongue of lightning, and the young man who fled towards the Sui soldiers could not resist at all, and the long knife penetrated through his body and rolled to the ground.
And he immediately rolled over, only to dodge, and on the original spot, more than a dozen spears were stuck in the ground like a forest.
The spearmen in the forest are not good at it, and immediately there are Pu knife soldiers rushing up, Zhang Xuanning dodged a knife, used all his strength, and slapped it fiercely, the soldier suddenly fell to the ground, and snatched the opponent's long knife, but he felt a pain in his body, and three long knives slashed, fortunately, he was wearing the inner armor of the gang leader, and he cut into an inch, and he was not able to go deeper.
The body was in hot pain, but with the long knife in his hand, he strode back, and the long knife was headed, and the three Sui soldiers couldn't avoid it, and they each slashed a little, and immediately fell backwards.
But the military order was strict, and the three who died were immediately filled in.
At the moment of life and death, the heaviest determination. Zhang Xuanning would rather die than retreat, and in an instant, he forgot about life and death, dozens of enemy attacks, and the little brother who even rolled and crawled, all of them were included in his heart.
Zhang Xuanning roared angrily, relying on the inner armor on his body, he swung his knife and slashed directly, and all the true qi in his body was mobilized, and he rushed straight towards the Sui soldiers.
In the face of the army, any tricks are useless, only to avoid the heavy and light, only to rely on internal force to fight, so that even if the opponent is blocked, he will vomit blood and fall to the ground one after another.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, the fleeing little brother was already in front of him, and he raised his knife without hesitation to cut it, and the little brother had no strength to resist, screamed miserably, and died of anger.
After killing these five people, Zhang Xuanning was so happy in his heart that he didn't dare to stay any longer, shouted and retreated towards the trees.
Lian rushed through a few trees, regardless of the straight forward, although the sound of fighting in the distance was still occasionally heard, but finally escaped.
Just now, it was a lot, but in fact, there were only a few moments, more than a dozen wounds on the body, hot pain, if it weren't for the internal strength and internal armor, he would have died a long time ago.
After the line of life and death, countless villages are dotted with tenants and freedmen, cultivating small patches of rice fields, usually only about a kilometer between them. These villages are scattered like uncultivated jade, scattered along the landscaped green fields, in stark contrast to the desolate, shrub-covered or wooded mountains.
Zhang Xuanning stood quietly, his heart was bright, irrepressible, and the pride of man who was determined to win the sky emerged, and he roared immediately.
No, not to vent the incomparable ambition and intense pleasure in my heart.
Life is proud, right now.;
