Chapter 14: Murder
Fu Ning bowed and shuttled through the forest, his chubby body seemed to be extremely flexible, and after a while, he returned to the mountain where he was squatting with the spies just now.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and Fu Ning could vaguely see that several undercurrents had touched Yue Jun's camp, presumably the surrounding dark posts had been cleaned up.
He observed for a moment, then got up and continued on his way, and soon entered the camp. There was already silence in the barracks on the outside, Fu Ning opened the curtain and took a look, and Yue Jun inside had already died in his sleep.
The mountain in the distance has begun to glow white, and the time seems to be a little urgent, Fu Ning thought about it for a moment or two, remembering the main tent and flag he saw last night, and the leader of the Yue army should be in the main tent, so he hurried out of the barracks and touched the center of the camp according to his memory.
Suddenly, a cannon shot rang out from the southeast, and the camp was full of noise and boiling. Fu Ning had only traveled less than a third of the distance, but he had already left the Liang family soldiers who came with him far behind, and at this moment there was a noise, and people in the nearby tent had already run out with weapons one after another, and soon found Fu Ning wearing battle armor.
"Young Master Fu?"
Someone in the rushing crowd suddenly called Fu Ning hesitantly.
Fu Ning looked at it, it was the guard who played the Yellow Sea together last time, and he had a few brief conversations with him, and he was looking at him with a look of surprise at the moment.
Fu Ning wanted to agree, but he didn't know where he should put himself once he agreed. When he was hesitating, someone around him came in, but it was a few people who were watching Fu Ning just now.
"Mr. Fu, you go first and go to the periphery to meet General Liang!"
Those few people shouted while rushing to kill, and suddenly woke up the surrounding enemy troops, and they picked up weapons and cut them one after another, Fu Ning sighed when he saw this, and could only turn around helplessly, and retreated while resisting, and soon got out of the encirclement.
Getting rid of the pursuers, Fu Ning rushed all the way to the periphery, and the soldiers of the two armies around him had already been fighting, and from time to time several Yue soldiers stabbed him, all of which were cut by him with a knife. After a short time, Fu Ning left the camp, went around the hill, and saw General Liang who was watching the battle on the hill.
"The general is really a good means. Fu Ning looked at it coldly, slightly dissatisfied in his heart.
General Liang laughed when he saw this, and said, "If I don't do this, I'm afraid that Little Brother Fu won't be able to make up his mind now." ”
Fu Ning was silent, but his expression became colder and colder.
Seeing this, General Liang hurriedly said: "Brother Fu, don't be angry, don't I also think about you, since you have joined my Qing army, you naturally have to hurry up and cut through the mess, erase the hesitation in your heart, and no longer care about the old feelings, it will be a big deal." Don't you want to avenge your brother?"
Fu Ning's expression moved, and he said, "I didn't join the army to take revenge. ”
"Yes, yes, it's my brother, I'm wrong, Brother Fu is for the country and the people. ”
Fu Ning's anger in his heart retreated slightly, but he still couldn't let go, and was silent for a long time, before he said, "Who led this batch of long-haired troops?"
General Liang glanced at him and said with a smile, "Yue Lin." ”
He personally led the team. The corners of Fu Ning's eyes jumped, and his brows tightened.
"Brother Fu doesn't have to come forward, I will personally meet with him for a while. General Liang spoke.
Fu Ning nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Since Yue Lin personally led the team, then...... I'll have to find an opportunity to go into the main tent in a moment. ”
General Liang smiled: "Brother Fu, don't worry, I will entangle Yue Lin." ”
When Fu Ning heard this, he arched his hand towards General Liang and turned around to look at the battle situation under the mountain.
"That's ...... Yue Lin?"
The fire under the mountain was soaring, and the sound of swords could be heard from far away on the mountain, Fu Ning searched carefully in the crowd, and soon saw the figure that made him entangled.
"Brother Fu, it's time for us to go down. "General Liang obviously saw Yue Lin as well, he was too conspicuous, like a tiger in the crowd that had entered the flock, which made people have to pay attention.
Fu Ning threw away the long knife in his hand, took out two short knives from his arms, and looked at General Liang: "I won't go with the general, I'll go over there." He gestured to the other side of the camp.
General Liang nodded, drove his horse down the hillside, and the guards behind him hurriedly followed, and in a blink of an eye, they reached the bottom of the mountain. Fu Ning glanced at Yue Lin, who was still fighting in the crowd, took a deep breath, and rushed down.
He soon reached the foot of the mountain, where most of the soldiers in the battalion were fighting with the Qing army on the other side, and only a few guards were still here to prevent the enemy from sneaking up. Fu Ning tried his best to avoid the enemy's sight, erased some guards who really couldn't hide, and gradually went deeper into the camp.
Although Yue Jiajun has been trained, he is not a martial artist after all, and he is not as skilled as Fu Ning, as long as there are not many people, he can quietly remove obstacles.
Half an hour later, Fu Ning successfully sneaked near the main tent. Clearing the guards guarding the tent, he lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Brother Fu really came. ”
Mei Fangning sat next to the topographic map and looked up when he heard the movement.
Fu Ning stood at the door, looking around vigilantly: "How did you guess that I would come here?"
"Brother Fu inevitably underestimated the speed of news transmission in the army. ”
Fu Ning's eyes narrowed slightly: "It's the soldier who recognized me." ”
Mei Fangning nodded, raised his hand to take the kettle from the stove, poured some into the cup, and took a sip.
"Since you know I'm coming, why don't you run away?" Fu Ning gradually approached.
Mei Fangning glanced at Fu Ning, and then shook his head: "Can you escape?" Leaving the Yue Family Army, I, Mei Fangning, am just a powerless scholar, and anyone can take my life. ”
Fu Ning sneered: "Then are you giving up?"
Mei Fangning drank two more sips of hot tea, was silent for a moment, and said, "I still want to struggle again." ”
Fu Ning was alert in his heart, no longer approaching, and carefully guarded his surroundings.
After a while, no one broke in.
"You're scaring me?"
"I did prepare. ”
"Then why don't you come out?"
Mei Fangning shook her head with a smile and stopped talking.
As the minutes and seconds passed, Fu Ning became more and more unable to hold his breath, and at some point, a shout of killing suddenly sounded outside the tent. Just when Fu Ning was puzzled, General Liang suddenly broke in with a nervous expression, and was greatly surprised to see Fu Ning.
"Brother Fu, why are you still here? Come with me, the long-haired reinforcements are coming!"
Fu Ning was startled, looked at Mei Fangning, and saw him showing a hint of a smile, and immediately became angry.
"How dare you lie to me!"
After that, he couldn't help but say that he raised his knife and cut it, but at this moment, Mei Fangning raised his hand and poured the hot water in the cup, Fu Ning easily dodged, and was about to kill again, but he heard a sound of the machine, and General Liang behind him exclaimed, Fu Ning only felt a pain in his chest, and looked down to see that a crossbow arrow had been inserted in his chest, and blood gradually seeped out.
After a moment's pause, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow and threw it on the ground.
"Why don't you die?!" Mei Fangning looked horrified.
Fu Ning ignored it, reached out and touched it in his arms, and took out an oily book, but it was the book he got from the old beggar when he was in Mingcheng before.
This book Fu Ning once showed to Liu Liu, and learned that this is indeed a good martial arts cheats, but it is for cultivating internal strength, and it has little effect on Fu Ning, so he wanted to throw it directly into the fire, but was stopped by his senior brother and put it on his body for the time being. Now there was a big hole in it, and it was obvious that the book had blocked it for him, so he didn't get an arrow through his heart.
Stuffing the oil book back into his arms, Fu Ning's expression was cold, and despite Mei Fangning's begging for mercy, he cut off his neck with a knife.
Looking up at General Liang, both of them stopped talking and hurried out of the tent.
