Chapter 489: Haunted Forest, Brothers
Outside Xuanyuan Pass, the continuous mountains are like a huge centipede entrenched on it.
The flag fluttering in the wind is still floating at the highest point of Xuanyuan Pass. The dense grass, blown by the wind, swayed back and forth, as if dancing.
"Boss Lin, even Boss, the matter has been clarified. A man with a black mole on his mouth said to Lian Yong and Lin Sheng.
After listening to the report of the black mole man, Lian Yong gritted his teeth, glanced at Xuanyuan Pass angrily, and asked: "How many rebels are there in Xuanyuan Pass, and who else are the leading generals besides children?"
The man with the black mole replied: "There are about 50,000 troops, and in addition to Tong Yi, there is also a general named Huang Feng. ”
Lin Sheng was slightly startled when he heard this, and asked, "Huang Feng, what is the origin of this person, and how is his martial arts?"
The man with the black mole replied respectfully: "This person was originally a Jiangyang thief, who was good at using a mountain splitting knife more than nine feet long, and he was very good at work. ”
Hearing the words of the black mole man, Lin Sheng couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "Fifty thousand rebels, plus Tong Zhi and Huang Feng, the two generals, and the geographical advantage of Xuanyuan Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. And we only have more than 10,000 people in our hands, so it seems that this thing is not easy to do!"
Lian Yong had long hated Tong Yao, a traitor, and said: "What are you afraid of, the young general only had 1,000 people in his hands at the beginning, didn't he defeat Zhang Qiao's 30,000 army in the same way?
Lin Sheng paused for a moment, and said: "Lian Yong, don't be rash! We do have more than 10,000 people, but there are more than 8,000 of them, all of them are newly recruited homeless people and bandits and bandits, once the offensive is unfavorable, they will immediately become birds and beasts, and the talents of you and me, even if they are combined, are not as good as the young general, so we must not act recklessly!"
For Lin Sheng's words, Lian Yong had no choice but to accept them. Admittedly, this is an unchangeable fact, and it is a cruel reality that they must face directly.
"Two bosses, when I went to inquire about the news, I heard a piece of news, and I still don't know if Lu Dao is true or not, and I don't know if Lu Dao should be talked about?"
Lian Yong was already angry, and when he saw the black mole man talking like this, he said angrily: "I said Lao Hei, you don't know a few words, and now you can't speak in a literate manner." If you have something to say, if you have a fart, what should be said and what should not be said, it's all!"
The man with the black mole hurriedly replied and said, "I just heard two peeing sentinels say that Marshal Lin of the imperial court with an army of more than 300,000 has captured Luoyang City and captured all the heads of the rebels......
"What, Lao Hei, are you serious?" Lin Sheng and Lian Yong asked excitedly when they heard the words of the black mole man, and before his words fell.
The man with the black mole nodded in response: "What I said is true, but what they said is true or false, I don't know what to say." ”
Lin Sheng's expression was very excited, and his speech was a little incoherent, and said: "It doesn't matter if he is true or not, this place is not far from Luoyang City, and there are many mountains and dense forests along the way, we will send a few capable brothers to bypass Xuanyuan Pass and go to Luoyang City to investigate, don't you know the way!"
"I'll go!" Before Lin Sheng's words fell, Lian Yong volunteered.
Lin Sheng nodded slightly, and said: "Okay, without further ado, Brother Lian Yong, you will take a few Mali brothers now, go through the dense forest to bypass Xuanyuan Pass, if it is true, the young general and they have to capture Luoyang City, you will bring a letter over, we will attack back and forth, directly take Xuanyuan Pass, kill the traitor Tong Disease, and avenge General Mingzhong and the martyred Pao Ze brothers!"
Lian Yong nodded again and again, and after answering a few words, he turned to the black mole man and the others and said: "Lao Hei, Xiao Wang, Zhang Wu, Wang Liu, the four of you are all practicing families, and you are also familiar with the terrain around here. ”
At night, Lian Yong and Lao Hei, Xiao Wang, Zhang Wu, and Wang ** ran into the deep mountains and dense forests.
The woods were silent, and the shadows of the eerie trees swayed in the wind, like all kinds of ghosts from hell. The sizzling of leaves, and the occasional howl of a wolf or the cry of an unknown strange bird, were even more terrifying.
"Boss Lian, why is this place so scary?" Although Lao Hei is five big and three thick, his courage is obviously not as good as his physical development, and he is already trembling all over at this time, and his voice is slightly trembling and asking. His hands were crossed at his waist, and a simple knife was still tightly clutched in his hand, as if a ghost would jump out at any moment.
Among the five people, after wearing Lao Hei, only Zhang Wu was the most courageous. It's no wonder that he, who is thin and thin, makes a living by making money from the dead, and spends his years in the middle of the night haunting the graves where ghosts are legendary.
It's just that once they stole the tomb of a wealthy businessman, and got a lot of gold and silver treasures, Master Zhang Wu, who originally planned to retire, was hacked to death by his companions because of the uneven distribution of spoils, and Zhang Wu was nearby at the time, and happened to see this scene, which was a fluke to pick up a life!
From the age of eight, he began to haunt various graves in the middle of the night. Now, a full 15 years have passed.
In the past fifteen years, he has not even seen a ghost asking for his life, he is just scaring himself. He has never seen real ghosts, but he has seen a lot of ghosts in people's hearts.
Ghosts never belong to the dead, they are always alive!
"I said Lao Hei, you have a tiger's back and a bear's waist, why are you so small, you are still afraid of ghosts, right?" Zhang Wu put away his memories, as if sarcastic, as if jokingly said.
Before Zhang Wu's words fell, Lao Hei hurriedly retorted: "Who said that I was cowardly, I just felt that this ghost place was a little scary, I don't believe it, you don't feel this way." ”
"Old Hei, look at what is on your left, it seems that a white shadow is floating here!" Zhang Wu asked pretending to be a little frightened.
Lao Hei was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he hurriedly looked to the left.
However, at the moment when he turned his head, he only felt that his right shoulder was patted, and a cold voice came into his ears: "I'm a ghost, give me my life back!"
"What the hell...... Hell......" Lao Hei was so frightened that he jumped up directly, and there was a scream.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Wu, Wang Liu, and Xiao Wang were already laughing.
Lao Hei reacted from the panic just now, knowing that it was Zhang Wu's ghost just now, he suddenly had enough courage, and shouted angrily: "Zhang Wu, you kid doesn't know the way, people are scary, scared to death!"
"Okay, don't make any noise, it's not safe here, you guys are yelling like this, if you recruit the rebels, we will really all have to hell!" Lian Yong scolded loudly and angrily.
Lao Hei, Zhang Wu, Xiao Wang, Wang ** personally, when they heard Lian Yong's scolding, they closed their mouths very interestingly!
After walking forward for another quarter of an hour, Lian Yong suddenly stopped, his expression was very solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Everyone pay attention to safety, it seems that something is going to happen!"
"The situation, what is the situation?" Hearing Lian Yong's shout, the four of them all felt nervous subconsciously, and they couldn't help but feel a spirit, and their black eyes were turning back and forth in their sockets, looking at everything around them with a little panic. At this time, except for Zhang Wu, the remaining three people were really worried that a ghost covered in blood would suddenly emerge from all around, or a ghost that was still floating without a head......
Although the four of them also live a life of blood on the knife edge, they are still incomparable with Lian Yong, who kills people and drinks blood in hundreds of thousands of troops, so the degree of capture of murderous aura is naturally inferior to him.
"There can't really be a ghost, right?" said another excited old black, trembling, clutching the Pu knife in his hand tightly, and asked in a beating and trembling voice.
Before his words fell, more than a dozen black shadows swished out from the surrounding jungle and surrounded them. The bright weapons, the shining eyes, and the gust of wind blowing at this time, and the rattling leaves made people shiver when they saw it.
"Who are you, and why are you pretending to be a ghost here?" asked Lian Yong, clutching his scythe tightly and shouting angrily.
After a while, a voice came from the dark shadow: "Brother Lian Yong?"
Suddenly, Lian Yong felt that this voice was very familiar, and he was suddenly startled, and asked with a little excitement: "Yan Yun, is it you?"
Before Lian Yong's words fell, a beating flame had completely attracted everyone's attention!
Through the faint firelight, Lian Yong had already recognized the person, and he was so excited that he almost burst into tears, and hurriedly said: "Brother Yanyun, Brother Lin Yong, how can it be you?"
Yan Yun and Lin Yong were also very excited at this time, and the three of them hugged each other and cried, the scene was quite touching.
After a long time, Yan Yun wiped his eyes with tears in his eyes and said, "Brother Lian Yong, but when we heard the news that Xuanyuan Pass was breached, we all thought that you were all dead and would never see you again!"
Lian Yong paused for a moment, his eyes were still a little moist, and said, "General Mingzhong and Roger all died tragically in the hands of the dog thief Xu Ming and that traitor Tong Yi in order to cover our escape. Speaking of this, Lian Yong clenched his fists hard, and his teeth were also clenched.
For this bad news, although Yan Yun and Lin Yong had guessed it in advance, but now when they heard Lian Yong say this, they still felt endless sourness and coldness in their hearts.
After a brief greeting for a moment, Lian Yong asked with some puzzlement: "Yan Yun, Lin Yong, why did you two run to this wilderness late at night, are they all okay, young general?"
Yan Yun wiped away a handful of tears again, nodded slightly, and responded: "The young general has now been appointed by the imperial court as the marshal of the counterinsurgency, and in just one month, we have defeated the 300,000 army of the rebel Liang Cheng and captured Bishui Pass and Luoyang City. ”
Now General Zhao Yanhui, with Brother Lin's strategy of "climbing the ladder and going to the ladder", has also forced the 100,000 rebels who went to aid Hangu Pass to surrender, and now the rebels in the southwest and northwest have almost been swept away. ”
"Brother Lin, he wants to lead the army to attack Huanglong and take Anyang, the base camp of the rebels, in one go, so he sent me and Brother Lin Yong to explore the way, and also to search for your whereabouts. I didn't expect to meet you halfway through. ”
"It seems that those news are true, and finally let us wait for the day of revenge!" Hearing Yan Yun's words, Lian Yong said with a rather excited expression.
Before Lian Yong's words fell, those brothers who were infected by emotions all held their weapons high and shouted in unison:
"For Brother Paoze, avenge the hatred!"
"For my brother, avenge my hatred!"
"Revenge!"
