Chapter 14 The literati's heart has no measure, the sword of the warrior is unsheathed (1)
It was already past midnight, and the missing moon hung in the western sky, quietly shining its light.
The thin silver light did not provide much visibility. Six night walkers walked along one side of the official road. Their clothes were all black, and their steps were quite upright. Because there were too few people walking at this time, and it would be better to avoid too many.
After a few glances, he felt familiar with the figures and steps of the two of them. He hid behind a tree on the roadside and watched secretly for a while.
Two... at least one of them had followed Manager Wu to the inn during the day. At that time, he was already in the mood to beat someone, so the first thing Ning Ji identified was whether these people's kicking skills were stable and their strength foundation
How? Not much can be judged in just a moment, but I can roughly remember the pace and physical characteristics of one or two people.
At this time... go in this direction?
When Ning Ji suddenly realized a certain possibility, he was so stunned that he was almost shocked. When the six people walked over while talking, he shook his head slightly and followed them all the way.
The six people walking together were equipped with long knives, bows and arrows and other weapons. Although their clothes were black, their style was not sneaky night clothes, but short-sleeved clothes that could be seen in the daytime. The roads outside the city at night were not the same.
It was suitable for horses to gallop, so the six of them probably did not ride horses for this reason. As they walked forward, they were talking in local dialect about the little girl and the little widow's family. Ning Ji could understand part of it, because the content was too vulgar and rustic.
It doesn't sound like something out of a green forest story, but rather like some vulgar nonsense made by some farmers when no one is around.
In the night breeze, you can still vaguely smell the faint smell of alcohol on several people.
The emotions in Ning Ji's heart were a little confused, and his anger rose and then went down again.
The past day had made him feel angry. Just as he questioned in front of Manager Wu, the CEO named Xu bullied men and women. Not only did he not think there was anything wrong with him, he even dared to threaten him. "
I remember you." His wife was angry that her husband was looking for a woman, but seeing Sister Xiu Niang and Uncle Wang in such miserable conditions, she was not moved at all. She even felt that the cries of injustice from these people disturbed her mood.
Well, yell "drive them away".
When the incident happened, it could be said that she was carried away by anger, but then the person surnamed Wu came over... Facing people like Sister Xiu Niang and herself who were likely to be ruined for life, she could still say arrogantly, "What are you doing today?"
You have to leave."
Can't you even apologize for doing something wrong?
Of course? Now is the time for war. Some such arrogant people have nothing to say when they have power. Even in the Chinese army, there are some who are unreasonable. People who do not make sense often have to be unreasonable.
Three points of defense. But...beat someone? Almost beat him to death, almost raped a woman? Turned around and drove the person away? He sent someone out again at night. What was this for?
Kill them all?
These people...really think of themselves as emperors?
He followed all the way with such anger, but then his anger gradually turned down. One of the people walking behind was obviously an Orion before? He kept saying that he was a little short-sighted? The man in the middle seemed honest and tall, but he had no foundation in martial arts.
, the pace seems to be used to the field, and the voice of the voice also seems naive. The six of them have probably practiced some military formations briefly? Three of them have practiced martial arts, and one has simple traces of internal martial arts? The pace is a little more steady.
, but only by the sound of his voice? He just looks like a simple country farmer.
The most important thing is...you can't drink before doing this kind of action!
Ning Ji shouted in his heart.
Since the six people did not mention the purpose of their trip, it was difficult for Ning Ji to judge for a while that they were just to kill people and silence them - after all, this matter was too vicious? Even those with a little conscience
People? I'm afraid they can't do it. A bunch of scholars who have no power to restrain a chicken? They didn't offend anyone when they got to the county seat, and Wang Jiang and his daughter didn't offend anyone. Now that they were treated like this and driven away, what could they do?
Maybe more things can be done?
There has been such a story in the story novel, but everything in front of me has nothing to do with the villains and knights in the story novel.
After walking like this for a while, Ning Ji thought about it, took a few stones, and made some noise in the forest on the roadside.
Six people on the roadside stopped when they heard a small noise.
"who--"
At first, a person yelled on the roadside. They seemed to be walking arrogantly before, but at this moment, they became extra vigilant about the possibility of someone on the roadside.
Naturally, there was no answer in the forest, and then there was a strange, whining wind sound, like a wolf howling, but it sounded too far away, so it was distorted.
"Wha, who is..."
"Go and see..."
"get out!"
Several people looked at each other, and then there was a burst of yelling, and some people rushed into the forest for inspection, but the forest was very small, and they walked through it several times in the blink of an eye, but found nothing. The wind gradually stopped, and the sky hung high.
The moonlight casts shadows on the forest, and everything is quiet.
After several inspections with no results, the six people gathered together on the roadside to discuss it. Someone said, "It can't be a ghost, right?"
"Nonsense, there are no ghosts in the world!" the leader cursed, "It's just the wind, look at your virtue."
After all this tossing, everyone stopped thinking about talking about the little girl and the little widow for a while, and turned around and continued to move forward. One of them said: "Do you think those scholars really just stay in Tangjiaji?"
Everyone walked forward, but no one answered for a while. After a moment of silence, someone seemed to want to break the embarrassment and spoke: "There is only one road out of the mountain to the south. Where can I stay if I don't stay in Tangjiaji?"
There was another moment of silence.
"They have offended someone, so they won't go further? Are they so ignorant?"
silence.
"Don't forget, there are still wounded people on their carriage, and they can't make it on their way. Why are you so cowardly?"
"Who is being naughty? I have never acted naughty before. I just feel that these stupid people who study are too ignorant of the ways of the world..."
"I feel stupid when I read, that's all."
"... Speaking of which, the kick Mr. Wu gave in the shop today was really beautiful."
"That's what you young people don't understand. It's easy to kick a stool away, but kick it up and then sweep it off with a kick in front. That's really a skill... Let me tell you, that's because the stool is there
In the air, there is no strength at all...Moreover, the stool in Mo Gang is already hard..."
"Haha, the faces of those who were studying at that time were so frightened..."
"They also said they were going to sue the officials, but they didn't sue after all."
"Still sensible."
"...Speaking of which, Mr. Wu is the one who despises these students the most. You see, there is something special about asking them to leave before dark... If you leave the city and go south before dark, you will definitely stay at Tang's house.
Come on, let's go to Tang Niu'er's room. Who is Tang Niu'er? Let's say hello. It's hard to talk about anything. Alas, these scholars, their routes out of the city have been calculated, so it's easy to move them.
"
"Then if they're not here..."
"If they are not here, even if they are smart, we can catch up a little ahead and then go back. If they are here, wait until they leave Tangjiaji, do the thing, and get a share of the money, it will be a big deal. Mr. Wu is right
Yes, these scholars have already been offended. Instead of letting them mess around in Hong Kong outside, it is better to do it and get rid of it... They have money, and some of them seem to have family backgrounds.
Taboo..."
"How much money do they have?"
"I've seen a lot. If you do something, you'll get points. If you marry a concubine, I think it's more than enough. Maybe Mr. Xu will share some rewards with us..."
"My uncle and the young lady had a falling out..."
"One night of marriage and one hundred nights of kindness, a fight at the head of the bed and a fight at the end of the bed. You are still young and rarely see things. Don't look at Mr. Xu, who has a few shortcomings. When he does things, he is still very vicious... Don't fall into this trap."
On his hands..."
As if to fight against the silence of the night, these people talked about things in a cadence and eloquently. Their steps were rustic, their words were rustic, and their clothes were rustic, but what they said was true.
It's really about killing people.
Things in the world are really wonderful.
Ning Ji used to be in the Chinese army and saw how people looked when talking about killing people. At that time, they were talking about how to kill enemies and how to kill Jurchens. They used almost all the methods they knew.
He is cautious while being calm, because when killing people, he must also take into account the harm that may be caused to his own people.
But there are also people like this in the world. They may live a life that looks like ordinary people. They have not received much training. They used to farm, hunt, and get together to talk about women obscenely. Some of them look simple and honest. They are here
For a moment, he was talking about killing people indifferently, as if no one would be harmed, and he was very happy.
Ning Ji's eyes were gloomy, and he followed from behind. He no longer hid his figure, he had already stood upright, walked behind the tree, and stepped over the grass. At this time, the moon was walking in the sky, there was a faint shadow of someone on the ground, and the night wind was whimpering.
The man walking at the back seemed to sense something was wrong. He glanced to the side, and the figure of the young man carrying the baggage fell into his eyes.
"Why……"
He failed to react. The hunter who was walking second to last heard his voice. From the side, the figure of the young man rushed over. There was a "click" in the night sky. The body of the last man walking at the end folded on the ground.
One of his legs was stepped on from the side by the young man, which broke his calf. He was unable to scream when he fell.
The hunter who was walking second to last with a long bow on his back and a knife on his waist could not react, because the young man immediately approached him after breaking his calf, and grabbed a head taller than him with his left hand.
On the back of Orion's neck, a fierce punch hit the opponent's stomach as he moved forward. At that moment, Orion felt as if he had been punched through from his chest to his back, and something spurted out from his mouth.
All his internal organs seemed to be broken into pieces and mixed together.
"who……"
Voices and screams suddenly sounded, and a figure suddenly rushed out of the darkness like a tank. He punched Orion in the chest and abdomen. His body was still moving forward, and he grabbed Orion's waist with both hands.
Long sword scabbard.
The third-to-last man turned around and drew his sword. The black figure had already picked up the long sheathed sword from Orion's waist and waved it in the air. The man drew his sword, and the sheathed sword in the air was struck sharply.
He split Huashan with all his strength, and as the figure moved forward, he hit the man's knee with all his strength.
His kneecaps were shattered at that time, and he staggered back while holding the knife.
The young man separated from the crowd and approached everyone violently.
