Chapter Twenty-Seven: Killing a Thousand Households
In less than a stick of incense, the sound of huge horses' hooves broke the silence of the valley, Zhang Zheng took the brocade guard to the bonfire, the fire had been extinguished, the raindrops the size of beans covered the sky, and a few wisps of smoke rose.
He reached into the stucco and could feel a little warmth.
"Chasing, people did not go far. ”
The warriors of the brocade guards abandoned their horses, carried swords and bows, and followed the traces left in the mountains and forests.
It stands to reason that this kind of chasing and killing task should not have been personally carried out by Zhang Zheng, but the person who chased and killed this time was more special, it was a thousand households in Jinyi Weinan Town, with murderous means and strong strength, and he was not at ease when someone else came.
In addition, Shen Lian was going to deal with some people from Beizhen Fusi, so he brought people to chase and kill.
These more than 20 brocade guards are all masters, extremely good at tracking the way of assassination, and there are also marks left by spies on the way, so the speed is quite fast.
"Brush Brush Brush"
Figures shuttled through the mountains and forests, colliding with the lush foliage, and the rain was left behind along the hats. Zhang was expressionless, and the slender Mo knife was in his hand.
Not far in front of them, seven or eight black-clothed warriors were fleeing frantically, leaving obvious footprints on the ground, in this case, the possibility of escaping from the pursuit of Jinyiwei was almost zero, not to mention that the leader of the team was the Beizhen Fu Envoy, the most terrifying man in Jinyiwei.
But there is still a glimmer of hope in the hearts of these people, or they are not willing to be caught just like that.
No one wants to die, let alone die, even if there is only a little hope of survival, they will not give up.
A low explosion sounded, followed by a series of dense iron arrows coming from behind, sealing off their path.
"Beware of the bow and arrows", the leading man shouted, and then rolled sideways to dodge, and the rest of the samurai immediately dodged when they heard this, although they were not shot, but they lost time to flee. A large group of people dressed in robes and hats had surrounded them, and the bright embroidered spring knives were unsheathed, bringing bursts of coldness.
Seeing this, these seven or eight men could only give up hope of escaping, and they all drew the embroidered spring knives in their hands and confronted the clothed warriors.
At this moment, the clothed samurai in front of them suddenly separated, leaving a path, and a burly man walked up from behind, holding a five-foot-long steel knife in his arms.
Even if he didn't see the face, this knife was unique, and everyone in the brocade guard knew it, and its owner was a terrible man, a suffocating man.
The leading man's eyes were dim, and his face showed a hint of bitterness, and he said in a self-deprecating tone: "I didn't expect that the subordinates who were so valued by the Lord would actually personally bring people to hunt down and kill. The crowd behind him also had desperate expressions on their faces.
As Jinyi Guards, they knew better than others the horror of the Beizhen Fu Envoy, and they all looked at the man in the lead, at this time, he was the only one who could be relied on.
Zhang Zheng took off the hat on his head, revealing an indifferent face, letting the rain fall on his body, he glanced at this group of warriors, and then his eyes fell on the person in the front, and said: "Zuofeng, why did you defect as a thousand households of the Jinyi Guard?"
Yun Feng smiled bitterly: "Don't escape, if you don't escape, I'm afraid the adults will take me under the knife." It's only been a few days, and how many of my brothers have been arrested. ”
His face showed a hint of madness, and he said unwillingly: "I have been in Jinyiwei for ten years, from the general banner to thousands of households, how much credit has I made for Jinyiwei and Daming, why did you arrest me." ”
Zhang Zheng said lightly: "It's all this time, is it useful to say this? You should know why I want to arrest you." ”
"Hmph, Wei Zhongxian should be really ruthless. ”
Zhang Zheng slowly pulled out the steel knife in his arms, the slender blade slashed through the rain curtain, and the violent killing intent was agitated, he looked at Zuo Feng and said: "Zuo Qianhu, I know, you have always disobeyed me, now I will give you a chance to have a fair duel." ”
"What chance?" Zuo Feng's eyes lit up.
"Kill me, and you can leave with your men, or die. ”
"My lord......" Zhang Zheng raised his hand to stop his subordinates' words, the steel knife in his hand pointed directly at the left seal, and the surrounding warriors automatically dispersed, making way for a wide field.
Zuo Feng has no choice but to fight, if he says a word, under the strong bow and crossbow of Jinyiwei, he will immediately become a hornet's nest, and he can't die anymore.
If he kills Zhang Zheng one-on-one, there is still some hope of survival, and he is also a proud man, otherwise he would not have risen to the position of a thousand households.
"Since the pacification envoy said so, then the subordinates are offended.
Zuo Feng's words were not finished, so he used a knife, he made an ordinary embroidered spring knife, the blade is smooth, like flowing water, sharp and light. This knife can only be described in a quick word, almost in the blink of an eye, the knife light fell in front of Zhang Zheng's body, and the cold blade pointed straight at the throat.
"Hey, what a quick knife. The surrounding warriors were terrified, and they only felt a cold light flash in front of them.
The light in Zhang Zheng's eyes skyrocketed, Zuofeng's knife technique was beyond his expectations, but that's all, between the lightning and flint, the Mo knife in his arms slashed out, bringing a crisp and piercing sound.
"Bell", his knife accurately framed the embroidered spring knife of the left seal, the palm of the hand was reversed, and the slender blade swung open the knife of the left seal.
"Chop", Zhang Zhengli stepped forward, holding the handle of the knife with both hands, and the cold Mo knife slashed diagonally from top to bottom.
The blade tore through the rain curtain, brought up a splash, and slapped on the faces of the two, Zuo Feng's knife was fast, but Zhang Zheng's knife was faster than his, and a vigorous burst erupted, Zuo Feng only came and took back the embroidered spring knife, and was shocked back by the power on his body Three steps away.
"Impossible" Zuo Feng roared like a madman, and blood poured from his tiger's mouth.
"Nothing is impossible, you are really too weak. Zhang Zheng sneered, the blade slashed out directly, the black samurai suit on Zuo Feng's body was torn apart, and a one-foot-long scar appeared on his chest.
"The next one will kill you. ”
It's just three knives, Zuo Feng was forced to defend, and his fast knife was a joke in front of Zhang Zheng.
"Iai Slash"
The cold voice echoed in the mountains and forests, and everyone stared at it in amazement.
I don't know when, Zhang Zheng's knife was inserted back into the scabbard, and then the next moment, a more brilliant knife light suddenly appeared, broke through the rain curtain, and fell on Zuo Feng's body.
"Click", the embroidered spring knife was cut off from the middle, Zuo Feng was motionless, his throat was bleeding, but it was cut open, and then his body suddenly fell to the ground, and after a few convulsions, he completely lost his breath.
"Kill, don't leave a single one. ”
Zhang Zheng put away his knife, picked up the hat on the ground and put it on his head, and left without looking back, twenty or thirty clothed warriors immediately pounced, and in an instant, seven or eight black-clothed men all fell to the ground, and blood stained the ground red.
Soon after, the valley was silent again, except for the sound of rain.
Zuo Feng's death spread all over Jinyiwei, countless people were afraid of Zhang Zheng like a tiger, and the name of the butcher also spread all over the rivers and lakes, and those who called themselves knights in the rivers and lakes were eager to eat his meat.
......
Seven days later, after the brocade clothes were cleaned, Zhang Zheng came to Wei Zhongxian's mansion again with the folds.
