XIV. Seven Nights of Killing
Xiao Jie and Lu Guanzhong saw it clearly, the army in front of them was Zuo Liangyu's troops, but they didn't know how to fall behind them, so that they only appeared below. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zuo Liangyu walked out of the army and ordered in a loud voice: "Kill all the demons in this village, clear the wall, and don't leave any supplies for Zhang Xianzhong." Xiao Jie and Lu Guan Zhongdeng recognized that this person was Shi Zhihuan, a general under Zuo Liangyu.
"Kill, kill!" the soldiers in the left army shouted at the same time with a deafening shout, all of which contained coldness and anger, as if they did not regard the people of the village as living at all.
When the village women heard this earth-shattering shout, they did not panic, but their expressions were calm, and they shook each other's palms, and nearly 100 people formed a one-person wall, without fear, and stood up to face these tens of thousands of killing gods.
Amid the earth-shattering roar, the left army slowly and steadily began to move.
Because the number of the left army was too large to be contained in the village in any case, only a few thousand soldiers were able to enter the village. In the blink of an eye, the village was crowded with people.
The soldiers were not in a hurry to march towards the wall of village women, but in groups of several broke into the houses on both sides of the village. Whenever the soldiers entered the house, it was not long before the sound of men snorting and swords breaking into flesh and bones could be heard in the house, and when the soldiers went out, the house began to catch fire.
Xiao Xiao watched all this happen silently, and was not in a hurry to step forward to stop it. He knew that the people in this village were all devout disciples of the Seven Killing Divine Monarchs, and as long as the Marquis of Huaiyin gave an order, they would not hesitate to turn into soldiers and shed their blood for the Marquis of Huaiyin. Therefore, Zuo Liangyu's move is to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, intending to cut off the foundation of the Huaiyin Marquis, although the means are cruel, but in fact there is nothing wrong.
But the question is: how did Zuo Liangyu know that the entire village in this village was full of followers of the Seven Killing God Sect?
They had not been to the village before, nor had they dealt with them. Just by looking at it in a hurry, can you tell the difference between a believer in a divine religion and an ordinary person?
This is naturally impossible.
Even Xiao Bei, who had had a lot of dealings with the Seven Killing God Cultists, couldn't tell the difference between the two from their appearances, let alone these soldiers of the Left Army.
There is only one explanation.
In Zuo Jun's heart, all the villages in the northern Sichuan area have been judged to be the territory of the Seven Killing God Sect.
Therefore, they do not need to judge whether the villagers are believers in the Divine Religion or not. Even if they are ordinary people, they will kill them correctly.
It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to spare one.
I don't know what the officers and men of the Left Army have experienced to have such thoughts. However, it is precisely because of this that it can be said that the left army has walked on the verge of madness, if they do not exorcise their demons, when they slaughter all the people in northern Sichuan, I am afraid that they will become murderous beasts, and they will never recover.
This is probably the real purpose of the Marquis of Huaiyin.
Xiao Bei thought of this, and just wanted to say something to stop it, but suddenly another thought came to his heart: Is Zhang Xianzhong's real purpose really just like this?
As soon as Xiao Bei thought of this, everything in Suining City suddenly flashed through his mind, and in a blink of an eye, he had made up his mind, and immediately strode forward and said in a loud voice: "Is General Zuo here?"
His voice came out with the power of yin and yang thunder, and the sound was like thunder, so that among the hosts, everyone could still hear it clearly.
Not long after this sound spread, the army crowd suddenly separated, and out of it came an old man with a hideous expression and armor, who was Zuo Liangyu.
He looked at Xiao Jie for a moment, frowned, and said, "Tibetan mastiff hero, how come you are in this village?"
Xiao Bei arched his hand and said: "General Zuo, I am afraid that the left army will encounter an accident, and the army that has been chasing you for a while, finally fulfilled the wishes of the people, and finally met you here." We are relieved to see that you are safe and sound. ā
Zuo Liangyu nodded and said, "You have the heart to contribute to the country, which is also rare." The villagers of this village have all been bewitched by Zhang Xianzhong and become his minions. At present, only a strong man can break his wrist and kill all the villagers here in order to prevent future troubles. There was some impatience in his tone.
Xiao Bei took a deep look and said: "General Zuo, there is something unclear below, I don't know how you know that this village is full of Zhang Xianzhong's minions? What he said was not true, but in order to find out what happened to Zuo Liangyu, he had to lie.
Zuo Liangyu said coldly: "There is no doubt about this matter, I have already investigated it clearly, so Xiao Daxia does not need to say much." ā
With that, he waved his hand and ordered, "Go on." ā
His soldiers did not hesitate, and immediately acted according to the order, killing people and burning houses, and they were ruthless.
The village women faced it with all this, and at the same time a smile of relief flashed on their faces, as if they were happy with the impending doom.
Xiao Bei sighed, suddenly shot like the wind, and lightly touched all the village women, making nearly a hundred village women unable to move, and then he said: "Executive messenger, take these women away, don't let the left army catch up." We met at the east entrance of the village. ā
Zuo Liangyu didn't know the intention of his move, and he still had to be asked, but he saw a hundred people standing up among the executive messengers, flying forward, carrying the village woman, and then his body shook and dispersed in all directions.
"Xiao Zang Mastiff, what do you mean by this?" Zuo Liangyu shouted angrily.
Xiao Bei stood in front of Zuo Liangyujun and said in a loud voice: "General Zuo, although these village women are guilty, they are not unforgivable, you have gradually fallen into the devil's path by killing like this. I'm afraid that Zhang Xianzhong wants you to fall like this, so although I am not talented, I will stop you. ā
Zuo Liangyu roared angrily: "What do you know, get out of the way quickly, or don't blame me for having no eyes in my sword." ā
Xiao Bei shook his head and said, "General Zuo, calm down!"
After that, his body trembled slightly, as if he hadn't moved at all, but the next moment, he had appeared on Zuo Liangyu's side, Zuo Liangyu snorted, his face was full of incredulity, and his body slowly softened.
Before the soldiers of the left army could react, Xiao Bei had already picked up Zuo Liangyu on his back, and everyone saw a flower, Xiao Bei had disappeared into the crowd and returned to the execution envoy array.
There are people moving here, there are no gaps, I really don't know how Xiao Jie comes and goes freely from the crowd, it is really incredible.
Xiao Bei put a long sword on Zuo Liangyu's neck and said, "General Zuo, you order your subordinates not to act rashly, otherwise I won't be able to control it, I'm afraid that you will be separated." ā
Zuo Liangyu was shocked and suspicious, listening to his tone without fluctuation, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, glanced at Xiao Bei, only to see that his eyes contained coldness, and the corners of his mouth showed a casual smile, knowing that he was not just threatening, and said at the moment: "Everyone stay put." ā
Xiao Bei smiled: "General Zuo is so cooperative, I am flattered by my order." ā
Zuo Liangyu's face was gloomy, and he said: "I didn't expect you to be a spy sent by Zhang Xianzhong, it was indeed my mistake." ā
Xiao Bian shook his head and said, "General Zuo, you have misunderstood, as I said before, I have all good intentions. Do you know about the battle between Qin Liangyu and Zhang Xianzhong in Suining?"
Although this matter is extremely confidential, Zuo Liangyu has a wide range of contacts in the imperial court, and even Guan Ning Tieqi has ears and eyes, so he has heard some news. At this moment, I heard Xiao Bei mention it, and nodded immediately: "I have heard a little about it." ā
Xiao Bei said: "That Zhang Xianzhong is carrying the demon law, it is the incarnation of the Seven Killing God Monarchs, has General Zuo ever heard of it?"
Zuo Liangyu nodded again.
Xiao Bei continued: "The reason why Zhang Xianzhong proclaimed himself the Seven Killing God Monarch is that in addition to the seven capital crimes determined in the Seven Killing God Sect's teachings, he still needs to meet certain conditions before he can truly become the incarnation of the God Monarch. ā
Then he used the method of sound transmission to tell Zuo Liangyu what happened in Suining City one by one, but he skipped Zhang Xianzhong because it was the palace master of Jianxiao Palace and Qin Liangyu who helped Zhang Xianzhong.
Zuo Liangyu had heard of these things for a long time, and at this moment, listening to Xiao Bei's account was completely consistent with what he had heard, he was convinced.
After Xiao Bei finished speaking, he continued: "Zhang Xianzhong used the demon method to provoke the infighting of the white pole army, and he never did it himself, which is the condition for him to become the incarnation of the Divine Monarch. He needed seven killings in seven days to be done. And when the last killing took place, he was lucky enough to stop it and put it to a temporary demise. ā
Zuo Liangyu was listening attentively and thoughtfully. Hearing Xiao Bei's last sentence, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "I heard that Wu Sangui said that during the battle of Suining, the gods and men helped each other, and the Guanning iron cavalry could retreat with all their bodies, could it be that the gods were referring to you?"
Xiao Bei smiled slightly and said, "How can you dare to be called a god if you are just lucky?" General Wu is exaggerating. ā
He then restrained his smile and said solemnly: "It is precisely because I experienced the Battle of Suining that I thought that the disciples of the Seven Killing God Sect in the northern Sichuan region were all bewitched by Zhang Xianzhong's evil method and served his life. If he were to gather them into the army, what a powerful force would it be? Why would he let them scatter in various mountain villages and wait for General Zuo to come and annihilate them one by one?"
When Zuo Liangyu heard this, doubts rose in his heart, and the hatred and anger in his heart gradually calmed down, and he thought about it carefully.
Xiao Bei paused, and said word by word: "It is precisely through the death of these people that he wants to achieve the final killing, meet the conditions, and become the true incarnation of the God Monarch." ā
Zuo Liangyu suddenly raised his head and found that Xiao Bei had removed the long sword, so he looked at Xiao Bei's eyes seriously, and asked in a low tone, "What can he do if he becomes the incarnation of the Divine Monarch?"
Xiao Bei shook his head and said, "I don't know, but now Zhang Xianzhong's demon method is extremely powerful, if he really becomes this Seven Killing God Monarch, I am afraid that there will be no one in the world to stop him." ā
Zuo Liangyu stared at him, not moving for a long time, and Xiao Bei was not afraid, and looked at him firmly. After a while, Zuo Liangyu sighed and said, "What you said is extremely absurd, I shouldn't have believed you." ā
Halfway through his speech, he patted Xiao Bei on the shoulder, and said, "But I can be sure that you are not a traitor." And if what you say is true, won't I help the abuse?" With that, he turned around and ordered in a loud voice: "The whole army obeys the order, put out the fire here, tie up all the remaining villagers, and then retreat two miles and camp on the spot outside the village."
