On the outskirts of Zhang Village, at midnight that day, You Hongzhuo cut off his long sword.
The light of the torch fell to the ground, and blood spurted in the darkness. The third of the six knights was slightly stunned. The arm holding the torch was broken and fell to the ground.
The darkness enveloped me like a devouring beast, and then the heart-rending shouts pierced the night sky.
The fourth child turned around and swung the nine-section whip on his body. The third child staggered and struck back with the sword with his unbroken left hand. You Hongzhuo swung his sword straight forward and smashed the opponent's weapon with his swift and fierce long sword.
.
In the night, there was a clanging sound of weapons, and then it turned into flying blood flowers. You Hongzhuo came from a fighting background in Jin Dynasty, and his sword skills were rough and fierce. He could hit back the opponent's attack in twos and twos, breaking through the defense.
, and then slashed the fourth child's arm and thigh. The third child, who had lost his hand, turned around to run away, but was slashed in the back by You Hongzhuo, and rolled down in the wasteland behind the village.
The fourth child was taken by the bloody momentum and the nine-section whip fell to the ground. He himself collapsed to the ground after being stabbed twice, crawling back in embarrassment. Before any words of mercy could be uttered in his mouth, You Hongzhuo
Holding a knife pointed at him, Lao San, whose hand was severed, was still shouting on the ground. People in the village had been awakened by this movement.
You Hongzhuo looked back at the hilltop not far away. In the forest over there, the four of them were walking to another place, but they were probably already alerted. Should he turn back and chase them, or let them go?
While I was hesitating, someone shouted from the top of the mountain. It was the second eldest among the six people shouting: "The idea is prickly--" It seemed as if he had encountered an enemy.
You Hongzhuo felt a chill in his heart. The only person who would take action against these people right now, besides himself, was Black Flag. He followed the six people here and didn't find anything wrong. If Black Flag had already set his sights on this place, then he
here……
Suddenly, there was a bang in the woods on the top of the mountain, and fire splashed in the night. It was the musket used by the Chinese army. As soon as he withdrew his sword, he was about to leave. When he turned around, he saw the darkness behind him.
The figure that was walking towards him actually got very close, and he didn't notice the other person's appearance.
There is not much warmth in the world of Jindi. If you meet on a narrow road, there are many situations where you will discuss fists first and then your stance. You Hongzhuo has been practicing in such an environment for several years. When he noticed the appearance of this figure, his first reaction was that the hairs all over his body stood up and there were long hairs on his hands.
He covered the knife and rushed forward.
He used his body skills explosively, with the long knife hidden by his side, which was also a blind spot in the opponent's field of vision. When he got close, the knife was like thunder. It was also a night battle killing move that had been refined many times. But when the sword flashed out silently,
In an instant, he noticed that the person walking silently from the darkness was a woman in a gray dress who was neither masked nor wearing night clothes.
He didn't put the knife away because his thoughts didn't even have time to function at that moment.
The woman held a long sword in her left hand and stretched out her right hand. The distance between the two seemed to disappear half a foot out of thin air. He had already grabbed the shoulder and neck of You Hongzhuo, who was as fast as lightning. Then there was a feeling of spinning around. He was
With a slash in the air, the body flew through the darkness, rolled twice after landing, and did not stop until it leaned against the wall of the house that the two "chivalrous men" wanted to set on fire...
A dead tree that he had chopped in the air was slowly falling down. You Hongzhuo leaned against the wall and looked at the woman in a gray dress opposite, feeling indescribable the horror in his heart.
When he was in Jin Dynasty, he also had a duel with the "Dragon King" who was highly skilled in martial arts. In Zezhou, the Dragon King who had just disbanded Chifeng had a duel with Lin Zongwu, who was recognized as "the best in the world".
He almost lost in one move, but later the Dragon King surrendered to the female prime minister, and there was a breakthrough in his mental state, and his own martial arts must have improved. As a leader among the younger generation, You Hongzhuo was able to get the opportunity to compete with his opponent, which was considered a kind of training.
, and I have truly experienced how huge the gap is between me and the great master.
On the other hand, during the middle stage of the Jin Dynasty War, he was also fortunate enough to witness Grandmaster Lin's actions after being seriously injured.
But whether it was Dragon King or Grandmaster Lin, he had never really felt the powerlessness of the move just now.
Which member of the Chinese army is this...
…
At the same moment that You Hongzhuo fell to the ground, the four people who were trying to escape on the top of the mountain also fell in a pool of blood. The moment screams rang out outside the village at the foot of the mountain, two figures launched a surprise attack on them.
Lao Liu was immediately knocked to the ground by a figure's heavy punches. Then someone walked over and warned the others to quickly abandon their weapons and surrender. Lao Er fought with the man who knocked down Lao Liu several times, shouting for ideas to prick his hand.
, the man on the other side who warned them to abandon their weapons raised a short gun and shot the boss who shouted "You go first" into a pool of blood.
Lao Wu, who was pretending to be a scholar, went to rescue his second brother. A heavy punch hit his lower abdomen, causing him to stagger away. With his internal organs surging, he could slightly see clearly the person opposite who was punching him.
The figure was the dark-skinned, strong-bodied, well-fed village girl he met during the day when he was asking for directions.
"Huzhou persimmon..."
In the night wind, he heard the woman chuckle softly, followed by a whistling kick. In the attack, she broke the calf bone of "Second Brother" who was the most agile in punching and kicking, and then walked towards him.
When he got close, he punched him in the face...
…
"In the afternoon, they reminded me that there was a man who was pretty good at martial arts, but he didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, so he came to take a look."
As the words rang out, a woman in a gray dress walked towards him, with no hostility in her eyes.
"...If you can stop them from setting fires, you are not an enemy. Zhang Village welcomes you. I wonder where the knight is from and what his name is?"
The woman's words were gentle, and she was approachable like never before among the masters You Hongzhuo had seen. In the night sky, there were whistling arrows and fireworks rising again, and it was unknown where the enemy was encountered. But it was obvious that the Chinese soldiers here
We have already made preparations.
The night was still long, and with the first wave of big movements, several groups of green forest people did start their own actions... The chaotic news of this night spread to Chengdu after dawn the next day, and to some extent
It inspired Confucian scholars and green forest heroes in Chengdu.
Not many people know the truth here. People only know that in Zhang Village, groups of "righteous men" rushed to take action.
****************
July 20, Chengdu.
"The night before yesterday, more than two hundred martyrs launched an attack on Zhangcun..."
"Someone almost killed Ning Yi's wife Su Tan'er..."
"Huzhou Lu Dingming drank blood wine and risked his life and death..."
"It's magnificent, it's magnificent..."
"The momentum must have been greater last night, and maybe we have succeeded..."
"It's just that there is no definite news yet..."
On a sunny day, countless words were already flowing in private.
It was also a lazy day in the autumn wind. Two days had passed since the party with Yang Tiehuai. Guan Shanhai did not go out in the courtyard where he lived. While adding fragrance to his red sleeves, he wrote some quiet words and received advice from his trusted subordinates.
I received all kinds of messy news.
Among these messages, only a very small part are battle reports from Zhang Village - since it is a place that has never been operated before, it is difficult to find out the details of the Zhang Village rebellion. The Chinese Army does have its own actions.
But the details of the action are extremely obscure, and outsiders have no way of knowing whether Ning Yi's family was injured, whether his children were kidnapped, and whether the Chinese army was mobilized on a large scale.
The difficulty of such information is not that there is no information, but more that there are too many rumors. There are so many people in the city, so many scholars, one or two are holding back in the inn, and it takes three days for a casual piece of news to arrive.
At the intersection, the prototype can no longer be seen. For people like Guan Shanhai who want to rely on information to do things, it is really difficult to grasp a clear context.
Although he is so beautiful and famous, apart from that, if he really wants to do something, Guan Shanhai can still know the priorities and will not take it for granted and become a fool. However, in such a chaotic situation
, he can only wait quietly, he knows that things will happen - something will always happen, this thing may be a mess, but maybe it will determine the lifeline of the world in the future. If it is the latter, of course he also hopes
You can catch it yourself.
There are naturally many people in the city similar to Guan Shanhai. Lang Guoxing told Huang Nazhong about the matter, and Huang Nazhong informed dozens of his subordinates that they would try their best to make preparations. An assassin named Chen Wei was already near Yingbin Road.
After observing quietly for a few days, he could occasionally see signs of what appeared to be Ning Yi's carriages and horses. Wang Xiangfo wandered around the city, feeling the clear clouds and gentle wind, and feeling the relaxing yet tense feeling of blood vibrating with his pulse.
Lu Xiaolun, who had been beaten by Wang Xiangfo, told his father everything. Lu Liutong had already felt the atmosphere of an impending storm in the past few days of gatherings, and occasionally he would reveal something to others.
"...This time, the good players who really entered the city were not in a hurry to get into the ring. Sooner or later, something big is going to happen in the city. You young people, don't get involved without thinking. I'll see you in the past.
I'm afraid some of the good players in the past will be here this time... to die..."
Lu Liutong's words revealed the foresight of the senior masters. Generally speaking, warriors who participated in the green forest gathering could immediately hear the unusual flavor in it, which was also corroborated with other atmospheres they had recently felt. They just felt that they saw
They discovered the outline of the giant beast hidden behind the prosperity. Some boldly asked Lu Liutong who were the masters, and Lu Liutong casually explained one or two, and sometimes also talked about the demeanor of Lin Zongwu, the leader of the Guangming Cult.
"...Lin Zongwu and Southwest have a deep hatred. However, I don't know whether Chengdu will come this time, so you don't want to make blind guesses..."
When he said this, more people speculated. Even the news that all the top experts of the Great Light Sect were lurking in Chengdu at this time was secretly spread. Yang Tiehuai and others also searched for it in private for a while.
Finally, I felt that it was a rumor put out by the Chinese Army as a smokescreen.
The day passed peacefully on the 20th, perhaps feeling that the recent storm was coming, and the knights competing in the ring had also been playing with some restraint recently. There were no casualties in the last few games in the afternoon, so Ning Ji got off work on time, relaxed and happy.
When night fell, Ning Ji, who had had dinner, had already come to the yard of the old little bitch and climbed on the roof to enjoy the cool air. He had done some self-reflection on his habit of peeping everywhere with his martial arts during this period.
When I return to Zhangcun to go to school in September, I can no longer do this.
At the same time, Ning Yi was discussing future reforms with Chen Fan in the yard beside the Maha Pond. Since they were two grown men, they would occasionally gossip about enemies and do obscene actions that were not in line with their status.
, showing a tacit smile.
At 8 o'clock, an explosion sounded in the city.
Ning Ji stood up on the roof and looked from a distance.
Ning Yi and Chen Fan also stood by the lake for a moment, and even took out their binoculars to take a look. Then Ning Yi waved: "Go up to the tower, go up to the tower...it's higher over there."
The sound of arrows and fireworks shot up into the night sky, which was the warning message and direction guidance of the Chinese army in the city.
At the same moment, countless people stared at the night sky. Guan Shanhai pushed away the naked woman beside him, rushed out of the yard, and even moved the stairs to go up the wall. Huang Nanzhong rushed into the courtyard, and many family members
Everyone was making preparations. On the east side of the city, a warrior named Xu Yuanzong picked up a spear, and more than a dozen of his brothers who had had close friendships began to organize their equipment. From countless angles, some were staring at each other, some were waiting, and some heard.
Rumors of one kind or another: "There's going to be chaos."
"A hero blew up Ning Yi!"
"Do you want to take action? Do you want to take action..."
Wang Xiangfo sat cross-legged in meditation, calmed down his mood, spent a while, and walked onto the street.
In the courtyard where Lu Liutong and others live, with the sound of the cannon, the old man jumped up from his seat: "Where is Xiaolun! Where is Xiaolun!"
"Senior brother went out to hang out and eat some food." A disciple answered.
"Go find him and come back! Go find him and come back. The hospital door will be sealed today. No one is allowed to go out without me talking to you -"
The night is becoming mellow and seems to be beginning to boil.
In the south of the city, escorts from out of town came in. Huo Liangbao from the Mighty Escort Bureau and a group of brothers quickly gathered in the courtyard. There were already fireworks and arrows flying in the city outside, so there must have been Chinese troops going to fight with the martyrs over there.
This night will be very long. Because there is no preliminary discussion, many people will wait quietly. They will have to wait until the situation in the city is in chaos before they can find an opportunity to successfully assassinate the devil.
"Someone has to do it first!"
They prepared their weapons, each put on soft armor, lined up for a while, and hugged each other heavily.
"——For this world!"
"——Let's hit the road!"
Huo Liangbao turned around, pushed open the door, and rushed out.
A group of brothers followed immediately, and then... blocked the door.
Huo Liangbao, who was the first to go out, rushed two steps and stood on the stone steps outside the door. On the other side of the road two feet away from him, there were ten Chinese Army soldiers lined up in a row.
A medium-sized Chinese Army soldier had already walked over, holding a stack of paper in his hand and looking towards the direction of the city where there were fireworks and arrows. He seemed not to see that Huo Liangbao and the group of people behind him were carrying swords and guns.
, walked straight to the other party.
"There are bandits making trouble in the city. There is a temporary martial law here. Can you please stay at home for a while tonight? Visiting relatives and friends can be done tomorrow... This is an order from the city patrol office. It's over.
If there is any damage, you can bring it to appeal tomorrow, here you go, accept it now."
He handed a piece of stamped paper to Huo Liangbao. Huo Liangbao was carrying a long red gun on his back and a simple knife hanging on his waist. There was also a row of red tasseled flying knives vaguely visible in his open clothes. He stood there,
Somewhat mechanically, he reached out and took the paper.
A group of people at the back blocked the door, all of them licking blood from their knives. Some people wiped their mouths and noses, others ground their teeth, and then looked at each other.
The Chinese Army officer just looked at them all calmly, and the ten soldiers on the street also looked here quietly. Huo Liangbao raised his left hand holding the paper in a daze, signaling to the brothers behind him not to act rashly. The officer clicked
Nodding: "It's dangerous outside, please go back."
…
Arrows were flying and fireworks were rising.
After making a plan, Xu Yuanzong opened the door. Due to the need for concealment, the yard where he and his brothers lived was relatively remote. At this time, he walked out of the door. On the road not far away, someone was already coming.
The leader was a tall and tall warrior with two swords on his back. The moment Xu Yuanzong was slightly startled, the other party had already opened his mouth.
"Wang Dai, the platoon leader of the Chinese Army, boldly asked Grandmaster Xu to give up his thoughts today and stop here. In the future, he will feel the feelings today and come to pay his respects... Please stop, Grandmaster Xu!"
Wang Dai... Xu Yuanzong's face turned red. Of course he had heard of this name. He was the hero who killed the Jurchen general Ba Lisu in Jianmen Pass a few months ago. Relatively speaking, his martial arts
Learning the name of a grandmaster seemed like child's play. After entering the city, he worked hard to lurk, but he never thought that his whereabouts had already been exposed.
He listened carefully to the noise coming from other parts of the city and waved his hand: "If you can find me, the Chinese army is really powerful, but... I can give up. Are the other heroes in Chengdu willing to give up!? If I give up, what will happen?
Can you stand up to their hard work——"
Xu Yuanzong's words were impassioned and impactful...
The people in the market were startled by the sudden chaos, and then began to disperse in different directions as the Chinese army beat gongs on the street. Lu Xiaolun walked in the direction of going home for a while, and saw fire rising in the distance.
There was a faint excitement surging in his heart. He knew that this time the Chinese Army's problem finally appeared.
He was skilled in martial arts and walked quickly. He was walking through the streets and alleys, thinking about where to go to watch the excitement. He was walking forward on a street with not many pedestrians when his steps suddenly stopped.
I saw a careless figure coming from the other side of the road. The man was tall and had wild hair as dangerous as a lion. It was the man who came to test his fists and kicks that day. Later, my father speculated that he was going to cause trouble for the Chinese army.
Martial arts master.
In such a chaotic situation, he actually came out.
Lu Xiaolun's first thought was to know the other person's name. However, at this moment, the great master's heart must be full of murderous intent. He met him so coincidentally. If he rashly approached him to talk, what would the other person misunderstand?
, it is inevitable to be beaten and killed on the spot.
Thinking of this, he slowly moved to the side of the road, facing the wall beside the road, trying to turn around and leave without attracting the other party's attention.
At this moment, a voice sounded beside me.
"Well, so and so, so and so..." A strong man stood up from the wood next to Lu Xiaolun - this strong man was originally sitting there eating skewers. At this time, the crowd dispersed, and he
After eating the tofu on the skewer in a few mouthfuls, he threw away the bamboo stick and said, "Well, who is that..."
This person's voice was so loud that it would inevitably attract the attention of other people on the street, and it would be inevitable for him to be discovered by the martial arts master next to him. Lu Xiaolun faced the wall, his heart tightened, and turned around to see what he saw on the other side of the street.
As expected, the wild-haired master looked over.
"Well, King Elephant Buddha!"
The strong man next to him called out his name, and the wild-haired master showed an interesting expression in his eyes, turning his head left and right.
"Chinese Army Niu Chengshu! I have been ordered to arrest you today!"
Lu Xiaolun stood facing the wall.
At this moment, he was sweating through his clothes. He had already understood that the name of the martial arts master was Wang Xiangfo, and the strong man beside him was the one who wanted to go against him.
At the other end of the street, Wang Xiangfo opened his hands and smiled.
The strong man named Niu Chengshu here bumped his fist into his palm and moved forward. Lu Xiaolun heard him murmur: "...resisting arrest."
The two figures exerted force at the same time. Lu Xiaolun stood by the wall and turned his head to look, only to see them colliding with each other in the middle of the street——
