Chapter 1041: The scholars heart has no ruler and the martial arts sword loses its sheath (2)
Under the lonely moonlight, the figure of the young man who suddenly appeared moved forward like a beast.
As if to calm down the anger that suddenly rose in his heart, his fists and kicks were fierce and violent. His pace seemed not fast, but his simple movements were not sloppy. In the end, the man's calf was crushed by a kick.
, the body of Orion walking in the second to last position trembled as if being hit by a huge force in the air. The third to last man quickly drew his sword. He had also picked up the long knife on Orion's waist and smashed it with the sheath.
Go down.
This man swung his long knife in the air, his kneecaps were broken, and he staggered back, but the young man was still moving forward.
At this time, he was already facing the burly and honest-looking farmer. This man was thick-boned and looked honest, but in fact he was obviously the "old man" among these thugs. He subconsciously moved one of his hands.
Trying to hold on to his companion who was jumping back on one leg, he grabbed the incoming enemy with his other hand.
He stretched out his hand, and the advancing young man let go of the long sword's scabbard, stretched out his left hand, directly grasped the opponent's two fingers, and pressed down violently. The burly man's teeth suddenly clenched, and his body held on for a moment.
Then his knees snapped to the ground. At this time, the palm, index finger, and middle finger of his right hand were all pressed backwards and twisted. His left hand tried to open the opponent's hand, but the young man had already approached, and clicked.
With a sound, his fingers were broken, and he opened his mouth to scream. The left hand that broke his fingers and pushed it up hit his chin with a bang. His teeth clenched and blood spurted out from the corner of his mouth.
The man whose knees had been smashed earlier hadn't even fallen to the ground at this time. The young man grabbed the burly man's fingers with his left hand, pressed, folded, and pushed, all with incomparable force. The strong man's thick knuckles
It was as crisp as dead wood in his hand. At this time, the strong man was kneeling on the ground, leaning back, and the scream in his mouth was broken by the push on his chin. The young man's left hand was raised to the sky,
His right hand joined his left hand in the air, forming a heavy hammer, and slammed it down on the strong man's face.
From the beginning to the end, it was almost an anti-joint force. The strong man's body hit the ground, gravel flew everywhere, and his body was twisted.
The man with broken knees fell to the ground, and the long knife in his hand was so frightened that he dropped it.
Under the faint moonlight, the figure who suddenly appeared opened his hands and stretched his arms.
Before the six people traveling with them could even figure out what was going on, four of them had already fallen to the violent methods. At this time, the figure's hands were stretched outwards, and his stretched posture was simply not like a human creature. He
He only relaxed for this moment, and then continued to approach.
At this time, someone shouted: "You are... He is the one in the daytime..."
The leader, who had some skills, drew his sword with both hands. He yelled "Ah" and swooped over and slashed him with his sword. The whistling sword fell from the boy's side. The boy was already approaching and pressed him down with one hand to hold the sword.
He struggled "Ahhhhhh" twice, and his wrist felt soft. He didn't feel any pain, but he no longer had the strength to hold the knife, and he didn't know what was hurt.
The long knife fell to the ground, and the leading man punched him, but the more powerful fists had already hit his lower abdomen. He received two punches on his stomach, another punch on the left side of his jaw, and then two more punches on his stomach.
, when he felt two more punches on his jaw, he had already fallen on the slope beside the official road, dust flying everywhere.
The remaining person was already running away into the distance in the darkness.
The killing figure turned around, walked to the struggling Orion on the ground, kicked him on the head again, then leaned over to pick up the long bow on his back, took three arrows, and shot in the distance.
Go. The man who escaped was hit by an arrow in his legs, and then hit by a third arrow in his body, and fell in the dim moonlight.
Screams and wails rang out under the moonlight. The fallen people rolled or twisted like maggots in the darkness. The only standing figure looked at the roadside, and then slowly walked away.
, he walked up to the man who was still crawling on the ground after being hit by the arrow. After a while, he dragged one of his feet back along the official road and threw him among the crowd.
What fell in the night sky was only the cold moonlight.
Except for the one person who escaped, who had previously recognized the identity of the black shadow, the others were only able to see the figure of the other person clearly at this moment. He was just a teenager in his teens, carrying a baggage, but at this moment he seemed to be carrying food.
He captured the monsters in the cave and looked at them with indifferent eyes.
In the night wind, he even hummed a strange melody, and no one could understand what he was humming.
"The sky is sunny, and the flowers are blooming... There is a little frog boiling under the banyan tree by the pond... I have grown up, don't call me a kid anymore... Uh-huh, little frog, the frog is alone at home...
"
He counted everyone and stood on the side of the road, somewhat unwilling to speak. He just stood there by himself on the dark side of the road. After humming his favorite children's song, it took a while before he turned around and spoke.
“Who sent you here? Isn’t this the first time?”
Everyone groaned or wailed, and someone cried: "Your Majesty..."
“I’ve heard it, it doesn’t matter if you don’t say it.”
He paused like this.
“If you don’t tell me, you will die here.”
The Huaxia Army has strict military regulations. When it comes to treating prisoners, in order to maintain their humanity, they usually do not abuse prisoners. Ning Ji has never learned the techniques of torture. In Aunt Gua’s teachings, killing people is
To pay their lives, debts and money, these people come here to kill people and it is very reasonable to die here.
He doesn’t intend to put in too much effort.
…
Had very friendly exchanges with the six prisoners.
Infected by Ning Ji's frank attitude, the six injured people also explained the whole story of the incident and the various things done by the Li family in Tongshan in a very sincere manner.
Against the background of the troubled times when the Jurchens came to kill them, the history of a martial arts family was simpler and rougher than imagined. According to several people, before the Jurchens went south for the fourth time, the Li family had already relied on their connections with the Great Light Sect to accumulate wealth.
They have acquired some property, but compared to the old gentry and gentry families near Tongshan, there is still a big gap.
Then a team of Jurchens came to Tongshan. Most of the officials and scholars in Tongshan were weak and incompetent and chose to kneel to the Jurchens. But Li Yanfeng seized the opportunity. He led and encouraged the villagers around him to move to the nearby mountains to take shelter.
, because he was armed with force, he received a large-scale response at the time, and even had conflicts with some noble families in power at that time.
At that time, the nobles who knelt down and surrendered thought they would get the support of the Jurchens, but in fact Tongshan was a small place, and the Jurchens who came here just wanted to plunder and leave. Due to Li Yanfeng's obstruction, Tongshan County did not
No matter how much "life-buying money" they could spare, this Jurchen team ransacked the homes of several nearby wealthy families and set fire to Tongshan County, but they did not go to the mountains to recover more things.
After coming out of the mountains, Li Yanfeng became the actual controller of Tongshan County. Even some of the scholar families who followed him into the mountains later had their property taken over by Li Yanfeng. Because he had the reputation of leading the resistance against the Jin at that time, he was very popular.
He successfully took refuge under Liu Guangshi's command. After that, he recruited various people, built forts, eliminated dissidents, and tried to turn the Li family into a powerful martial arts family like Tiannan Ba Dao.
In the name of resisting the Jin Dynasty, the Li family ran rampant in Tongshan and did a lot of things. For example, Liu Guangshi wanted to go to war with the north and recruited soldiers in Tongshan. Of course, this was mainly done with the help of the Li family.
; At the same time, the Li family searched for local people's wealth and collected a large amount of money and iron tools. This was also because they had to do business with the Chinese army in the southwest, a task forced by Liu Guangshi. In other words, the Li family was here
Although many evil deeds were committed, most of the looted items had been transported to the "godgy" southwest.
The six people who were beaten badly thought: This is all the fault of the Southwest Chinese Army.
And speaking of it, the Li family has a grudge against the big devil in the southwest. Li Yanfeng's father, Li Ruoque, was killed by the big devil back then. Therefore, Li Yanfeng and the people in the southwest have always been at odds with each other, but for Xu Xu Tu
In order to take revenge in the future, on the one hand, he would learn the methods of Ba Daozhuang and raise private soldiers, and on the other hand, he would also help to collect people's wealth and support the southwest. To be fair, he was of course very reluctant, but if Liu Guangshi wanted to do this, he could only continue to do it.
.
Ning Ji felt slightly complicated after hearing such an expression. He wanted to laugh, but because the scene was serious, he held it back.
At the same time, in order to eliminate dissidents, the Li family went on a killing rampage in the local area, which is indeed true. There was even a private prison in the Li family's Fort to detain some local people who were against the Li family and slowly torture them.
.But while explaining these things, the six people who faced threats to their lives also said that although the Li family made mistakes in small matters, at least they did not suffer in major ones. He is resistant to gold, and local scholars are not resistant to gold.
He resists gold, what else can he do?
Later, perhaps because the threat of death gradually faded, the leader even tried to kneel on the ground to beg for mercy on behalf of the Li family, saying: "Since the righteous people and the others are fine, just leave from Tongshan. Why do we have to fight with the Li family?"
As for the opposition, if the Li family falls, why should the people of Tongshan suffer? The Li family is against the Jin Dynasty, and they are worthy of their honor..."
The sky gradually became extremely dark, the night wind became cold, and the clouds covered the moonlight. Just before dawn, Ning Ji dragged the six people to the nearby woods and tied them up, interrupting everyone.
These people rely on force to kill people. Originally, it would be okay to kill them all. But now that they have confessed, let's remove their power and make them worse than ordinary people in the future. Then they can study how to live. Ning Ji felt,
This should be a very reasonable punishment. After all, they said, these are troubled times.
Ning Ji was of course angry about the Li family and the manager Wu who sent them out to eradicate the roots. Although this subjective anger became lighter after hearing about the relationship between Tongshan and Southwest, what should be done was still
Do it. The few people in front of me made the "big festival" thing very important, and the reason seemed to be very complicated, but this kind of nonsense is not a complicated subject in Southwest China.
Confucian scholars are weak in resisting gold, and gangsters resist gold, so gangsters are good people? Ning Ji has always scorned this. Moreover, the situation of resisting gold is no longer urgent. Once the Jin people are defeated in the southwest, will they be able to fight in the future?
It is difficult to say whether these people in the Central Plains are "at least resistant to the Jin". Ning Ji basically doesn't care, and the Chinese army doesn't care either.
Of course, after detailed inquiries, he hesitated a little about the next steps. According to these people, Manager Wu lived in Wubao outside the city on weekdays, while Li Xiaoqing and Xu Dong lived in Tong.
In Shanxian City, according to the local power of the Li family, if you kill any of them by yourself, the Li family forces inside and outside the city will probably start to move. I am not afraid of this matter, but Wang Jiang, Wang Xiuniang and the five Furu people
They are still in Tangjiaji at this time. If the Li family's power changes, won't they have to be captured again?
Since these six people's legs were broken and they couldn't be killed for a while, the news will probably be spread back to the Li family sooner or later. If I delay for too long, it won't be easy for me to do anything.
The wind in the early morning whimpered, and he thought about this matter and walked all the way towards Tongshan County. The situation was a bit complicated, but the vigorous journey of the rivers and lakes finally started. He was in a very happy mood, and then he thought of his father taking him away.
His name is Ning Ji, and he is really prescient.
Since my name is Ning Ji, my birthday can also be called the "anniversary of death", which is the death anniversary of some bad people.
"La la la, little frog... the frog is home alone..."
The first ray of white fish belly appeared on the horizon, Long Aotian hummed a song and walked forward. At this time, many of the bad guys, including Manager Wu, were at home alone and had not yet gotten up...
******************
After dawn, Wang Xiuniang and a group of scholars also got up one after another in the inn at Tangjiaji.
Everyone had not slept well, their eyes were bloodshot, and there were dark circles around their eyes. After learning that Xiaolong left at midnight last night, Wang Xiuniang started crying again at the dinner table in the early morning. Everyone was silent in response, and they were all quite embarrassed.
.
“You said, Xiaolong’s young mind wouldn’t run back to Tongshan again, right?” While having breakfast, someone suggested this idea.
Everyone thought for a while, and Fan Heng shook his head and said: "No, can he take revenge when he goes back? He's not really stupid."
Chen Junsheng said: "Xiaolong is not stupid if he can walk alone at this time."
No one refuted these words, and no one dared to add to this doubt: After all, if the young-hearted Xiaolong was really stupid and ran back to Tongshan to complain or take revenge, how could people like him do it out of morality?
Don’t we have to go back and rescue him?
Can we be rescued? Even if we think about it, we can't. We can only help ourselves in.
Wang Xiuniang cried for a while about Xiaolong. Lu Wenke had red eyes and buried herself in eating. During the whole process, Wang Xiuniang secretly glanced at Lu Wenke several times, but Lu Wenke didn't look at her. They both had knots in their hearts and should have talked about it once.
, but from yesterday to today, such a conversation has not happened.
During the second half of breakfast, Fan Heng and others talked about the upcoming trip. They said that they should leave earlier, but Xiuniang's father had already woken up in the early morning. According to Xiaolong, his body was not suitable for long distances for the time being.
After a long journey, we need to rest for two days. Due to moral reasons, no one can say that they will set off at this time.
Everyone's mood was a bit strange because of this.
Wang Xiuniang had breakfast and went back to take care of her father. The injuries on her face and body were still there, but her mind had cleared up. She decided to talk to some Confucian scholars later, thanked them for taking care of them along the way, and asked them to leave here immediately.
, there is no need to continue at the same time. At the same time, her heart is eager to talk to Lu Wenke. If Lu Wenke still wants her, she will persuade him to let go of these things here. This is undoubtedly a good destination for her.
And if Lu Wenke couldn't let go of this knot, she wasn't going to shamelessly stick to it. She would just enlighten him and let him go home.
Such thoughts were undoubtedly extremely painful for her, who was in love for the first time. What would she do in the future when Lu Wenke went home after the conversation was over and she took care of her seriously injured father and went on the road again? In such a mood,
She secretly wiped her tears a few more times, and before lunch, she left the room and tried to talk to Lu Wenke alone.
She walked several times inside and outside the inn, but could not find Lu Wenke.
Then they found Fan Heng and others to search together. At this time, Lu Wenke's baggage had disappeared. After asking around, everyone found out where the other party was: not long ago, the red-eyed companion among them
He left here with his baggage on his back. Where exactly he was going, some said it was towards the mountain, while others said they saw him heading south.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Wang Xiuniang cried again. Now there are two possibilities, either Lu Wenke was really angry and Xiaolong didn't go back and ran back, or Lu Wenke felt that he had no face and secretly went home. After all.
With everyone gathered together from all over the world, and not seeing each other again in the future, his humiliation this time can be kept in his heart and never mentioned again.
Everyone deliberated for a while. Wang Xiuniang stopped her heartache, said thanks to Fan Heng and others, and then asked them to leave here. Fan Heng and others did not answer directly, and they all sighed.
On the afternoon of the arrival, a group of scholars took their luggage and entourage and left here silently without saying a formal farewell. Just like the chance meeting, their separation also disappeared like duckweeds, and these people did not go back to the road.
Heading towards the mountains.
The same afternoon, Lu Wenke returned to Tongshan County. He found the county government office, his eyes were red, and he stood on the roadside for a while with trembling arms.
Thinking about this trip to the southwest, a round trip of five or six thousand miles, he saw a lot of things. The southwest was not as vicious as everyone thought, even under the rule of Dai Mengwei, who was in a difficult situation.
, we can also see a lot of gentleman's travels. Now the extremely vicious Jurchens have gone. This place is under the rule of General Liu Guangshi. General Liu has always been the most respected general among literati.
I don’t believe that the world will be so dark...
I don’t believe that a warrior can really cover the sky with one hand...
I do not believe……
…
He beat the big drum at the county government office gate.
