Chapter 55 55
Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion.
If you want to talk about weapons, there are masters of what to use, Lu Bu is good at using halberds, Guan Gong loves knives the most, Li Guangyang wears Yang in 100 steps from the base, Li Yuanba has two hammers and 800 catties, and even Cheng has a three-plate axe to bite gold......
There aren't many people who are really good at using swords.
Because the sword is not suitable for large-scale equipment on the battlefield as the main battle weapon, and considering its low practicability and high price, those quick catchers and errand soldiers in the government are not very useful. Since human beings learned to smelt iron and gradually eliminated bronze weapons, the sword has not been the mainstream weapon.
Most of the time, it is the ornaments of the princes and nobles, and they are used by some high-rollers.
We killers, unless we have a special preference, there are not many who use the sword.
Don't look at my upline name "Sword Baby", with the word "sword" in the name, in fact, his favorite use is not a sword, but a variety of hidden weapons.
The killer is not a swordsman, and he does not perform tasks to be handsome, he looks good, plays chic, and what works.
So what often works is a weapon that ordinary people don't expect.
For example, poison, then mechanism, and even some people raise fierce beasts.
For example, Butterfly Love has many killer bees.
I heard that in the more than 200 years since the beginning of my dynasty, the weapons used by the top killers have also been tricky and bizarre, and each one is stranger than the other.
One of them is with a slingshot.
This man, Wu Li, thought that the slingshot was simple and portable, and that it could shoot different projectiles, which was very practical.
After his own research and transformation, in addition to ordinary stones and lead bullets, he also has penetrating armor-piercing bullets, thunderbolt bullets that can explode, and phosphorescent bullets that can even cause fires...... As long as he is fast enough and can make good use of various environments, he is enough to exert infinite power, and it is no problem to kill a group of people by himself.
Fortunately, this person later died in the hands of the Six Doors Catcher, otherwise, he may not have what kind of result he will toss and become a great scourge of the troubled times. Legend has it that by the time he died, he could have broken down a military camp by himself.
Just imagine, if the slingshot is still like this, then the powerful crossbow and hard bow, trebuchet, artillery and the like that are equipped on a large scale in the battlefield are even more terrifying.
For the most part, ranged weapons have a much greater advantage over melee weapons.
But in the final analysis, whether it is a slingshot or a bow and arrow, in fact, it basically belongs to the category of cold weapons. It's like my sword. It has always been very limited.
The deaths of Su Xiaosoul and Liang Zuifeng made me realize for the first time the horror of hot weapons.
Gunpowder, this kind of thing, I used to only think of it as a toy, used to set off firecrackers and fireworks.
I didn't want to see the Dongying people loading artillery on the ship with my own eyes, and let so many people hold muskets and scatter guns, forming an army with special firearms. Under the indiscriminate shooting, a group of ordinary warriors actually killed Liang Zuifeng and Su Xiaosoul, who were superb in martial arts and comparable to demons, which had to make people panic.
These people, even if they have no martial arts, as long as they are equipped with firearms and have received rigorous training, can form a queue like the crossbowmen in the army in a reasonable order, and take turns shooting to replace the "arrow array", the power is so terrifying.
A shuttle scattered bullet will blow up the kitchen knife converted from the cicada wing knife, if a hundred shuttle scattered bullets are hit together, a copper wall and iron wall will collapse in an instant, right?
Well, if a hundred ships, formed into a flotilla, each equipped with enough artillery, fired in unison...... The consequences are unimaginable. Whoever wants to destroy other people's countries with such power is probably an inevitable disaster.
Gunpowder, firearms, it seems that you are the bigger demons!
With this in mind, from then on, I stopped stubbornly delving into martial arts, and talked to the scorching sun when I had nothing to do, except for the old sayings of smelting iron and steel, and forging weapons, we began to study the power of gunpowder.
Finally, the hard work paid off. By the time I carried out the last order of someone else, and completed that ultimate mission, I already had a terrifying firearm of my own making, the Glowing Gun.
......
Nangong Jun: I don't have to bother to hunt down and kill anymore.
A day later, Murong Wan'er and I continued rowing westward, and finally landed. But as soon as I landed on the ground in Songjiang Mansion, and before I was halfway to Jiaxing, I heard about his death.
It turned out that at this time, these sects on the rivers and lakes were divided into several forces, one of which called itself "Protector of the Country", and the other called "Wulin League". These two forces are against each other, and each does not give in to each other, and they are opposed.
The Nangong family somehow became the leader of the Wulin League, Nangong Jun became the leader of the alliance, and when he went to Jiaxing this time, he was going to issue the first alliance leader order. As a result, he didn't want to be arranged by the Protector Church, so he set up an ambush and assassinated him.
Alas, the grievances and disputes on the rivers and lakes are complicated and always cause people headaches.
Fortunately, Butterfly Valley has long since declined at this time, and neither faction bother to win it over.
It is also from this that I learned that Su Xiaosoul and Liang Zuifeng died too unjustly, and they both fell for the villain's tricks.
On that day, among his two pursuing Toei people, there were two key figures, one was a high-ranking official of the Japanese state, called Tanaka Takeshi, and the other was the leader of the Iga-ryu ninjas, named Iga Onisa.
They went after the two men in order to prevent them from making peace with another group of Dongying people, because they seemed to have a very important military intelligence report in their hands.
And let the two of them be willing to chase and kill, they would rather not even want their lives, but it is Li Qiushui's conspiracy.
At that time, I really couldn't figure out what kind of person we, the boss behind the scenes, how much power, ability and means we had, and even a master like Su Xiaosoul could be used by him. It wasn't until I killed many good people by mistake and escaped death a few times that I finally understood.
But that was a long time later.
Nangong Jun is dead, and Gongsun Fluttershy may already know. When I returned to Gusu and wanted to return to her, I heard that she had gone to Penglai Island again.
Uhh
What's going on there?
Now, I don't have time to care about this, because as soon as I returned, I was given a new mission: to kill the lord of Hung Kai City, Cochin Kingdom, Nguyen Jianqiang, and his wife, Pham Minh Yueh, before December 15......
Well, it's a long way to go, and you have to cross at least four provinces. It can be described as a thousand mountains and rivers. Fortunately, I have the kung fu to do it, and now, I still have more time.
I can rest for a few days, and then clean up the two broken kitchen knives and heavenly silk that Su Xiaosoul left for me.
Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to arrange for someone to send Murong Wan'er home, but this eldest lady had experienced so many things along the way, and she was especially afraid of letting his father know that he had been insulted and ruined by those beasts and pirates, and he didn't want to leave, so he had to let her stay in the Butterfly Love Taoist Temple for the time being.
The eldest lady's blue pupils aroused Dielian's infinite interest, and Dielian saw her as if she had seen a relative and confidant, and she couldn't wait to be by her side at all times and be a mother to her.
After the scorching sun transformed the "dragon tooth" short knife, before I could think it through, she intervened several times and persuaded me to give this knife to Murong Wan'er.
This old girl, I don't know what to think, I must train Murong Wan'er to be a first-class killer, and ask me to be a master together.
I guess it's because I hate those men for bullying the weak and insulting women! Die Lian wants Murong Wan'er to kill a few more men with evil thoughts in the future, just like her, in order to vent her anger.
......
Before and after, I only have a two-sided relationship with Su Xiaosoul, and I am not friends, let alone old friends. If he hadn't given me these two weapons, I would have had almost no friendship with him.
I'm a killer and don't want to ask too much about other people's grievances. Because it has nothing to do with me. His death at the hands of the Dongying people is not much different from his death at the hands of other people. I happened to see it, and it was only a spectator.
But his death, for some reason, made me feel a little uncomfortable.
Although, at the moment, I don't understand why.
There seems to be a lot of chaos on the rivers and lakes.
The Wulin League and the Protector Religion targeted each other, and the imperial court often suppressed the Jianghu sects, and there were still people in some places who kept rebelling, Hong Tianlai was originally a peasant rebel army, but later he betrayed his original intention, surrendered to the imperial court, and fought with his original brother......
In this world, there are already rumors, and the world is so dark that people don't know how to live.
In the final analysis, no matter who wins or loses, who is strong and who is weak, and who has the upper hand in the end, it is always the hundreds of millions of Li people who suffer.
It is the people who suffer the most.
