Chapter Ninety-Three: The Decadent Man
Li Kong, Wang Yu and Zhong Huaiping sat under the big trees on the side of the road, and they had never been bloody, and the deputy general was the first, and they were born in a peaceful year without war, but they were also higher than everyone else, and enjoyed the comforting benefits of the official family.
Probably after a few years of war, they have forgotten the danger of being the first soldier, but today the three of them have to take on the task of reinforcing Zhao Qianwang and exterminating the bandits, that face is not covered with gloomy clouds, this is different from scolding a villager on weekdays, bullying a trader, and beating a bully, the bandits and boxers are the enemies of the soldiers in the peaceful and prosperous era, and they are also the only founders of their deputy generals and horse leather shrouds.
Zhao Qianwang had rushed to Phoenix Mountain with more than 100 elite soldiers, and Tongjiang County Commander and Peng Jian rushed to receive Chen Xiong and others.
Chen Xiong and the others didn't expect that this rest was sleepy and tired, and they actually got on the thief ship, Peng Jian's orders were good, and they begged hard, and they were both soft and hard to send troops to exterminate the bandits.
Chen Xiong's officialdom should be poor for many years, old and calculating, and the fatigue of tracking the soldiers and horses all the way to this place was poured out, and finally mixed up with this helpless fateful journey, and finally each team produced an unlucky deputy general, from the elite and the vanguard team with 150 people, to reinforce Zhao Qianwang, so at this time, the faces of the three deputy generals were covered with frost.
Zhang Guang sat alone on the side, the resentment in his heart could be seen from that face, the whole face was cold and made people take a look and never want to be discovered because of the second look, and he was innocently hacked to death when he raised the knife. Therefore, the three lieutenant generals, Li Kong, didn't have the heart to take care of his emotions, and they all sat there in a similar group.
Zhang Guang's eyes were slightly red, his eyes were full of friendship with the county order on weekdays, although he had no kinship with Peng Jian, but he was usually commensurate with brothers, today Peng Jian could not have sent himself to take this road that may have no return, and many of the following catchers are also familiar with various shortcuts, paths, and bumpy roads to Phoenix Mountain, but Peng Jian let himself truly experience the cruelty of people's hearts when interests are at the head.
Although the Phoenix Mountains shrouded in night are some animals that have reversed the sun and the moon and the laws of life in action, it is still quiet for this piece of Mangdang Mountain Range, which makes people feel depressed.
The army has been resting for almost half an hour, but several of the leaders are sulking and silent, and those who are soldiers are even more like they are pressed by a big stone in their hearts, they may be more hopeful that these leaders will suddenly die, so that they don't have to go to the bloody battle of the bandits and take their lives, so they even avoid whispering at this time, for fear of waking up a few leaders.
After a long time, a short exclamation frightened the hearts of several ironclad cavalrymen almost stopped, and after a moment of panic, the whole army seemed to move corn, and there was a chain reaction, and this reaction was not to fall, but to get up, take a wrong step, and draw a knife.
The horses were screaming in fright by the chaotic gait and the clanging of knives.
Zhang Guang had already jumped up, and Li Kong and the others also hurriedly got up, stepped out of the sheath, and followed Zhang Guang to the place where the chaos was first launched.
Several ironclad cavalrymen shouted one after another: "Who, who, who!"
More than ten meters away from the opposite side of the path, which was dark due to the intricacy of trees, a voice that sounded panicked and could not be calmed down in a short time came: "Help, military master, help!"
The man appeared in the darkness, although he shouted for help and shouted for the military master, but the entire vigilance of the ironclad cavalry was injected with momentum, and the formation was formed on the narrow road.
With a knife in hand, a bow and arrows, and sharp eyes, the ironclad cavalry was already in a posture of imminent battle.
A man in tattered clothes and a delicate body, who looked like a howling wind could crush him, swayed with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The embarrassed figure under the moonlight was clearly recognizable, and the vigilance of the ironclad cavalry was relaxed, and Zhang Guang and Li Kong, who were preparing for battle, urged their horses to come over.
Zhang Guangxian shouted: "Who are you?"
Zhang Guang's shout was echoing, although he knew that the other party was just saying a Zhang San Li Silai, how could he know what the other party was, but his shouting was already serving another purpose - to strengthen his own momentum and courage for the ironclad cavalry.
The clearer it is, the more it looks like the figure that is about to be decadent has fallen down seven or eight meters away.
Zhang Guang, Li Kong and the others glanced at each other, Li Kong had already urged the horse to move forward slowly, and the big knife hanging on the mount was already in his hand.
The decadent figure struggled to get up, bent over, gasping and waiting for Li Kong's inspection.
Li Kong was three meters away, and he could cut off the enemy's head under the horse, and carefully studied the decadent man in front of him, who had been frightened and trembled.
Zhang Guang and the others have also urged each other to come over.
Li Kong had been talking loudly for a while, from the cavalry to the leader, but fortunately he seemed to have sensed that this was nonsense, so he added a sentence at the end: "Who are you? Why are the three watches in the middle of the night in this barren mountain wilderness?"
The person on the other side was frightened, and his speech was reversed, and he answered the question: "My lord, my lord, the bandits are all dead, all dead!"
This sentence was by no means lighter than a thunderbolt that stirred in the ears of Li Kong and the others, and several people were stunned for a while.
After half a sound, Li Kong came to his senses, and had already urged the horse forward, and came to the approach of the decadent man, only then did he seem not to believe his ears, and asked again: "What did you just say?"
The decadent man breathed a sigh of relief before he continued: "My lord, the bandits, are all dead, slaughtered like pigs, dead everywhere, and blood is flowing like a river, I saw it with my own eyes!"
Zhang Guang frowned, urged the horse forward, and said at the same time: "Why are you not dead? Who are you, bandit?"
The closer Zhang Guang's words got, the louder the tone of his voice became, and the horse stopped while speaking, turned over and dismounted, and at the moment when the decadent man was stunned by the words, the single knife in his hand was already on the neck of the decadent man.
Zhang Guang is a master of torture, he knows how to make a stubborn or tortured guy who is barely conscious speak, and he knows how to instantly shock and paralyze the opponent's defense.
Zhang Guang's instantly raised voice words and the sudden flash of a single knife had a magical effect, and the decadent man's knees shook in fright, poofed, knelt on the grass, and shouted in his mouth: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm not a bandit!"
Zhang Guang was still carrying out the tactics of destroying the defense line against the decadent people, the force of the knife pressing up and down was getting bigger and bigger, the killing intent in his eyes was getting heavier and heavier, and the words on his mouth were getting heavier and thicker as if he was about to roar, gritting his teeth and saying, "Who are you?"
Zhang Guang felt that he was a little too much, but he did things like a thief, but Li Kong and the others were also worried about Zhang Guang in their hearts, afraid that this decadent person was a thief bait, so they were happy to see Zhang Guang's acting scare!
The expression of the decadent man was terrified, as if he had seen the fierce official in front of him cut off his head and rolled.
The decadent man's lips trembled and he hurriedly said: "My lord, spare my life, I am not a bandit, I am a foreigner, I collected accounts with my friends in Wanyuan, my friends were cut down by them, I was caught by them to go up the mountain to do coolies, and I almost lost my life on the mountain today." ”
Xu was weak and frightened, the decadent man regathered, and then said: "In the afternoon, a devil came up on this mountain, and he killed people when he saw them, and the bandits were about to be killed, and those leaders also let him cut off his head, and he died on the ground, and my legs were weak, and I dared to escape down the mountain when it was dark, and there were some bandits who escaped on the road, and I hid and didn't dare to come out, so that they would cut me to death when they saw them, until I saw the adults' soldiers and horses just now, and I didn't know that I was saved, so I came out." ”
Zhang Guang looked at the decadent people who were weak and had not yet asked what they wanted to ask, and they all said it cleanly, and the power of the pressure knife in his hand was also small.
Zhang Guang's mind was spinning rapidly, and his eyes were fixed on the pleading and revealing eyes of the decadent man.
Li Kong said beside him: "There is no untruth in what you said, otherwise we can chop you into pieces at any time, if it is proved that what you said is true later, wait until you go back and let you eat and drink for a few days, and then give you silver and send you back to your hometown." ”
The decadent man looked at Li Kong, and as if he had met a savior, he knocked down a piece of alkali grass under his head, and bypassed the knife around his neck.
Zhang Guangkong looked at the decadent man with a knife, and still couldn't believe him in his heart, but Li Kong had already spoken first, and when the decadent man no longer kowtowed, he said again: "You wipe the mud on your face, and you think you are the land lord on the mountain."
The decadent man nodded in response, wiped the mud from his face with his sleeve, and said, "The mountain road is dark, and I fell into the mud puddle when I came down."
The dirt slid down from the face of the decadent man, and looking at this face with a somewhat silly temperament, Zhang Guang's suspicion became a little less. Li Kong and the others didn't have too many suspicions, but this face might still be cursed by the souls of the third lady, Qiongyu, and Tao'er.
Liang Zi's face was no longer as cold and ferocious as in the Julong Hall, and this stupid image was no longer lighter than his previous stupidity, coupled with the unwiped dirt embellishment, it was almost difficult to distinguish that he was Liang Zi under this moonlight.
Liu Ping'er and Chang Yuheng were urging the horse to gallop, Chang Yuheng's tired body was almost about to collapse, coupled with those bloody wounds, at this time, he was only supported by a breath of true qi, but he couldn't stop.
Liu Ping'er now only has Fluttershy in his heart, which makes him ignore everything and rush to the Thousand Buddha Cliff, Chang Yuheng can't call Liu Ping'er to stop, he is also a martial artist, and he knows in his heart that Liu Ping'er's body is not less injured than him, and after a long day of killing, he himself is worried that Liu Ping'er will never get up again if he unloads that true qi, and at this time the importance of meeting Shen Mad has trumped his life.
It is a long time of Mercedes-Benz, Dujiawan has disappeared behind him, to here, Chang Yuheng is very familiar with the path, when the road forks in the distance, slow horses take the mountain road, it does not take half an hour to reach the Thousand Buddha Cliff.
Chang Yuheng felt that the most painful trip had passed, and he could finally slow down, just when he was about to call Liu Ping'er to stop, suddenly Liu Ping'er tightened the reins of the horse, and the fast horse, which was tired and tired to the extreme, rushed forward for more than ten meters before it fully stood still, and the string of horses neighed far away in this quiet night before disappearing.
Chang Yuheng also stopped the reins, and the fast horse trotted to Liu Ping'er's horse, but before he could ask Liu Ping'er why he stopped, Liu Ping'er had already said: "Take the horse and hide." ”
Liu Ping'er didn't have any extra words, turned over and dismounted, jumped a few meters away, and three people jumped onto a big tree on the side of the avenue that had been baptized by dust and sand.
Chang Yuheng had also reacted, and was busy turning over and dismounting, enduring the pain of pulling the wound, and snorted and led the horse to the side of the road.
Under the moonlight, five fast horses came together on the official road, bending and urging the horses to gallop are all fast catchers in official uniforms, and the sand and dust raised by the galloping all the way make the back like a rising mist.
