Chapter 3: In the Hands of the Adversary

Hearing this ghostly sound at first glance in the dark night, Wei Qing's heart, who was gradually relaxing, couldn't help but tighten, and the cold sweat on his whole body couldn't help but burst out, he immediately followed the sound and looked back, only to see a person slowly walking out of the dark place more than ten steps away behind him, it was the "strange ghost" with a face full of makeup and fangs.

Wei Qing didn't have time to think about it, in a panic, he raised his hand and opened his bow to be an arrow, and he didn't care if he was shooting or not, so he turned around and ran wildly. The "strange ghost" dodged to avoid the arrows, and then pursued him, his running posture was very strange, his upper body was tilted forward, his arms were spread backwards, his steps were fast and small, from time to time he jumped high and then swooped down forward, like a goshawk fighting a rabbit, like a flying bird, if ordinary people traveled like this, it would be extremely inconvenient, but this "strange ghost" was as fast as a galloping horse, and in a blink of an eye, he chased behind Wei Qing. Fortunately, Wei Qing has been accustomed to walking mountain roads since he was a child, constantly changing directions and running with twists and turns by taking advantage of the complex terrain between the mountains and forests, and he has avoided the attacks of "strange ghosts" several times.

However, the speed of the "strange ghost" was too fast, and finally chased Wei Qing and struck out with a palm. Wei Qing heard the sound of the wind behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that the other party's palm had reached the front of him, and in a hurry, he had to turn around and raise his bow to block, but the "strange ghost" did not accept the move but changed his palm into a claw, and the "click" actually broke the hard bow in Wei Qing's hand into two.

Wei Qing saw that the opponent's finger power was so sharp, if he grabbed his body, he was afraid that the bones would be crushed immediately, he was afraid in his heart, and he was afraid that the rest of the enemies would chase him, how dare he step forward to fight, he broke his hand and threw the bow and turned around and fled. The "strange ghost" shot extremely quickly, and without waiting for Wei Qing to turn around, he slapped out again, and hit him firmly on the chest, Wei Qing instantly felt the blood in his chest and abdomen rolling, and "wow" spurted out a stream of blood and fell to the ground. Seeing that Wei Qing fell to the ground, the "strange ghost" laughed proudly, and stopped shooting, and after a while, the other seven people also chased after him and surrounded Wei Qing.

It turned out that when Wei Qing alarmed the horses, he had been discovered by the "strange ghost", but it was difficult to discern the details in the dark night, and the "strange ghost" was afraid that more than one person would come, so he resorted to a trick to capture the other party, and only when he found that Wei Qing was alone and did not respond, he appeared and captured him.

"And tie up this barbarian and search and interrogate carefully", "Strange Ghost" said coldly, Xiong Er hurriedly stepped forward to lift Wei Qing up, beckoned Zhang San and Song Si to tie Wei Qing to the tree with a thick rope, and found the secret letter after a little search, Xiong Er was full of flattering smiles, holding the secret letter in both hands and hurriedly handed it to the "strange ghost" like a monkey, and then bent down and retreated to the side.

After the "strange ghost" checked the envelope and fire paint, he did not open it and continued to inspect it, but only glanced at Wen Da sideways. Wen Da nodded knowingly, beckoned to Xiong Er, Zhang San and Song Si, and stepped forward and shouted to Wei Qing: "Who are you, why do you want to steal my Dajin military intelligence report, are there any other comrades besides you, quickly and truthfully recruit them, otherwise you will have to suffer from that flesh and skin."

Wei Qing saw that the enemy who slaughtered the whole village and killed his parents was in front of him, and he was already stunned, not to mention that the secret letter had also been searched out by the other party, and he was afraid that he would not escape death tonight, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to report revenge in the south, so he cried loudly in anger: " You damn Jurchen Tartars, our whole village is self-fed, and we have never provoked you, why did you slaughter the village for no reason, since I was caught by you, I don't expect to live, hurry up and give your grandfather a refreshing time, but don't want to get anything out of my mouth, if I am afraid of death, I will not come to report it."

Wen Da snorted contemptuously, and mouthed at Wei Qingnunu, Xiong Er immediately stepped forward and whipped Wei Qing hard, and asked while beating: "Who do you want to report to, tell me quickly, do you still have someone to connect." Although Wei Qing was in pain, but when he saw that the enemy was annoyed and angry, he gritted his teeth and smiled bitterly: "I have another companion who is already about to go south, and after you plot to destroy Liao, you will sneak attack and attack the Song Dynasty without succeeding, hahaha, you wild boar skins that kill a thousand knives, don't send your spring and autumn dreams."

Wen Da's face changed suddenly when he heard this, he stepped forward and pushed Xiong Er away, snatched the leather whip in his hand and whipped it on Wei Qing's body without a head, and scolded loudly: "Hugh has to talk nonsense, my Dajin and Song Guo are allies who have signed a treaty, how can they sneak attack each other, if you talk nonsense again, Uncle Ben has the means to make your life worse than death, quickly recruit from the truth, I will give you a good time."

Wei Qing sneered: "Phew, you Jurchen barbarians will talk about any covenant and faith, that letter clearly says when you will go south after the destruction of Liao, where to enter the army, can it still be fake, but my companion has already reported the past, and the Song State has already taken precautions, hahaha, don't think you can sneak attack."

Wen Da turned to the "strange ghost" and bowed and said: "Lord Shaman, this kid is just afraid that he is already scared stupid, and he is here to talk nonsense that no one believes, according to the villain's opinion, since the military intelligence report has been recovered, it is better to ...... him."

The "strange ghost" ignored Wen Da, and walked up to Wei Qing with an expressionless face and stared into his eyes, Wei Qing refused to show weakness, and also stared at the other party with wide eyes. The two sides looked at each other for a moment, and the "strange ghost" suddenly poked out his right hand and slammed into the wound on Wei Qing's body, stirring his fingers vigorously, Wei Qing only felt a sharp pain that pierced his heart instantly spread all over his body, tearing the muscles and nerves all over his body, and he couldn't help but scream "ah".

"Hmph, I'm a tough guy with steel and iron bones, but I also know the pain", "The strange ghost" said lightly with disdain, "If you have another companion who has already gone south, how can this key letter still be on you, I have now expected that there are only two of you, the previous person was responsible for leading away the pursuers, but you went straight south to report the news, can this kind of carving insect trick still hide from me."

Wei Qing was overwhelmed by the "strange ghost", and it was difficult to deal with it for a while, so he had to force it indiscriminately: "Our Shangguan trusts me and a few others the most, even if there is no letter, he can still win the trust of others."

"Strange ghost" snorted with the corner of his mouth: "If there is no solid evidence for such a major event, how can the Song court allow you to wait for the rest of the world, and you and I can't do it if I am a three-year-old child", and then stepped on Liao Chunhua's head, glared at Wei Qing and threatened:" Your partner is also stubborn, no matter how tortured he is, he refuses to confess truthfully, he just wants to die, but since it is in my hands, it is not so easy to die, guess how he died, hehe, I cut off the flesh on his body piece by piece, he was painful to death, do you want to be like him, I advise you to confess truthfully from beginning to end."

Wei Qing was burdened with a sea of blood and hatred, and he had already held the idea of never bowing his head to the Jurchen Tartars to survive, and when he heard that Liao Chunhua's death was so miserable, he was full of anger and immediately filled his mind, and said angrily and generously: "The eldest husband is not afraid of death, not to mention the pain of flesh and skin, just use all your fragmentary evil methods, if I frown, I will not be a hero."

When the "strange ghost" heard this, he didn't say much, and made a look to signal the punishment, Song Si strode forward and tore open the placket on Wei Qing's chest, pulled out the flesh-cutting knife on his waist, and cut off a piece of skin and flesh on Wei Qing's chest with a single turn of white light, and the blood flowed from the wound immediately, revealing the bloody muscle texture. Wei Qing screamed loudly, but when he thought of the tragic situation when his parents died, he refused to open his mouth to beg for mercy, only stared at each other, panting and clenching his teeth to endure the heart-rending pain.

"Strange ghost" laughed and teased: "Didn't you just say that there are other accomplices, you Nanban are the most cowardly, even if you really have an accomplice, I'm afraid that he can only hide secretly now, otherwise why won't he come to save you, hahaha."

The laughter of the "strange ghost" did not stop, and suddenly the sound of "whirring" broke through the air, and a hidden weapon "bang" hit Song Si's forehead, Song Si fell down in response, and a bowl-sized blood hole suddenly appeared on his forehead, a chestnut was inlaid in it, the head had been shattered, and the blood mixed with white brains flowed all over the ground.

Everyone immediately used their weapons and was on guard, but they couldn't help but tremble, this chestnut is not a hard thing, how can it break people's foreheads, is there really a ghost or god in this world. "Strange ghosts" are the leader of this group of people after all, since they don't believe in any ghosts, they must be a master of martial arts cultivation who has been perfected, and seeing that everyone in his entourage has lost their hearts, he immediately mustered up the courage to shout loudly: "Where is the master coming, please show up and see it, why bother to pretend to be a ghost sneakily."

"Aren't you anxious to ask him if he has anyone with him, right below", a man in Tsing Yi slowly walked out from the shadows, "Your generation of barbarians has always boasted of bravery, why are you trembling now, afraid of power but not virtuous, shameful and shameful."
