Chapter 152: Beheading Aliens and Capturing Traitors
At this time, the merchant ship was less than ten miles away from the exit of Qianren Gorge.
Zhang Sui felt that there was some malicious intent on the two cliffs ahead, and the target was their merchant ship.
Zhang Sui asked Zhou Zhidao beside him: "When your merchant ships sail on this river, are there any ship robberies?"
Zhou Zhi was stunned, then laughed and said: "There have been cases of ship capsizing, but I have never heard of ship hijackings. We have a river patrol department every five hundred miles here. Generally speaking, there are no bold people who dare to rob.
Boat."
Lao Lu on the side heard Zhang Sui's question and knew that there must be something wrong. He quickly said: "Is there something wrong ahead? Second Master?"
When Zhou Zhi heard what Lao Lu said, he came back to his senses and turned to stare at Zhang Sui.
Zhang Sui stood up and looked at the dark night sky ahead. He said, "Slow down the speed of the boat first. I'll go back as soon as I can!"
Hearing this, Lao Lu said: "Second Master, please be more careful!"
Zhang Sui nodded and jumped up. The sword light floated under his feet and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Zhi was a little stunned when he saw this, and murmured: "This, this is really a fairy!"
Hearing this, Lao Lu chuckled and said, "Brother Zhou, go quickly and ask them to slow down the boat."
Hearing this, Zhou Zhi nodded repeatedly and returned to the cabin.
Zhang Sui, protected by sword light, quickly arrived at the malicious cliff. Standing in the air, Zhang Sui looked down and saw no less than twenty people wearing black clothes on a platform above the cliff.
, a man with a mask on his face is ambushing it.
One of them was sitting on a square stone, playing with a shimmering jade seal in his hand. Next to him, there was a man in black who was nodding and bowing and talking to him.
The people lurking here are all people with blood grudges. According to Zhang Sui's thoughts, if you encounter such a guy, you can just kill him directly.
But the figure sitting on the stone playing with the jade seal made Zhang Sui stop thinking about taking action immediately.
Because Zhang Sui discovered from the aura revealed on his body that this person was not a human race.
This made Zhang Sui a little curious about the identity of this group of people and why they robbed and killed merchant ships here.
The man who heard the nod and bow said to the guy who looked like the leader: "Your Majesty, those guys' ships are about to enter the range."
The guy who was sitting nodded and said in a very strange tone: "Then let's follow the old rules. Kill all the people and dig through the ship. Don't leave any traces."
The man who nodded and bowed said: "Your Majesty, I don't understand something. Even if these weak veterans go back, how useful will they be? Do they still have to go to such trouble and rob and kill them along the way?"
The guy sitting there said, "I'll give you something and you'll do the work. How come there's so much nonsense?"
The man who nodded and bowed rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "I'm a little curious. The things your envoy paid are not ordinary things. I'm just a little confused about killing these ordinary people."
The envoy he was talking about hesitated for a moment, then said: "This is an order from the sacrificer in my clan. It will not affect the adult behind you. Just feel free to do it!"
He nodded and bowed with a smile: "If you say this, I feel much more relieved, and I can have an explanation. You don't know, the person above me is very suspicious. If I don't ask for clarification, I won't go back."
Good deal."
The venerable man snorted and said, "You humans are the trouble."
The man who nodded and bowed laughed but didn't respond.
Someone on the side asked: "How many people have been killed already?"
The man who nodded and bowed replied: "If we strengthen this road, four people will have been killed."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person who answered the question suddenly stirred. He found that the venerable person next to him had already stood up and was staring at somewhere in the void ahead.
In the void, brilliance flashed, revealing Zhang Sui's figure.
The brilliance around Zhang Sui illuminated the platform clearly, and the figures of the men in black on the platform were clearly reflected.
Seeing this, the man in black who seemed to be the leader took a few steps back and hid behind the foreign lord.
After Zhang Sui showed his figure, the Venerable looked at him for a moment, and without saying a word, his whole body turned into a ball of thick smoke and dispersed with a loud bang.
Zhang Sui snorted coldly: "Want to leave?"
Sword light shone around the platform, and nine lightsabers appeared. Zhang Sui shouted softly: "Suppress!"
A scream came from the void, and soon the scattered thick smoke gathered in one place and condensed into a solid body. It was the Venerable who was about to run away when something bad happened.
But at this moment, the Venerable looked a little embarrassed. The black robe covering his whole body had long been broken, and his entire face was exposed.
I saw that his appearance was slightly similar to that of the human race, with a pair of strange gray pupils in his slender eyes, and his face was gray. The most uncomfortable thing about him was his hair, which turned out to be streaks of purple that were constantly moving.
Long worm.
At this time, the foreign race's body was covered with small wounds and blood was flowing freely.
The foreigner looked at Zhang Sui, who was standing in the air with an expressionless expression, and said: "This saint, I am from the Kongming clan walking outside, and I can be regarded as an envoy to communicate with your human race.
Don’t you humans have an envoy to say that the two countries will not fight without killing each other? I have no intention of offending Zunji this time. If you can spare my life, I am willing to give you the treasures of the clan. What do you think?"
As he said this, the foreigner took out the jade seal he had been playing with.
Zhang Sui looked at him and said calmly: "Tell me, why do you want to intercept and kill these people?"
The foreign race hesitated for a moment and said: "The people we robbed and killed were all those who were unwilling to give up fighting against our race. Our race has established contact with the human court, but some of them are extremely hostile to us and insist on fighting with us.
My clan is the enemy.
The priests of our clan conveyed the words of the gods, saying that a group of old soldiers would return to the military camp, and among them would be born people who would be extremely harmful to our clan. Therefore, after discussing with the adults in the court who were close to our clan, we decided to eliminate the scourge.
"
Zhang Sui asked: "Dove faction?"
The alien nodded and said: "Yes!"
Zhang Sui waved his sword, and countless snow-colored sword lights enveloped the men in black on both sides of the strait. Except for the man in black who looked like the leader, all the other men in black turned into ice sculptures.
The leader of the man in black, who quietly escaped ten feet away, was penetrated by countless small sword lights in the spiritual points all over his body. At this time, he was paralyzed on the ground and unable to move, but his consciousness was extremely clear.
The foreigners saw Zhang Sui's tactics and stayed where they were without daring to move.
Zhang Sui asked again: "How many of you are out there intercepting and killing the returning soldiers?"
The alien answered carefully: "There are four groups of people in total, intercepting and killing in four directions."
Zhang Sui pointed to the men in black on the ground and asked, "Which lord are they under?"
The foreigner shook his head and said: "I don't know either. I only know that they are subordinates of a high-ranking person in Tianjing City. They took the initiative to find our tribe and proposed cooperation."
Zhang Sui cursed secretly in his heart, "A traitor!"
Seeing that Zhang Sui's face looked a little ugly, the foreigner said cautiously: "Lord Saint, the world has changed so much that there are actually not many boundaries between the various races. The return of the underground race is also a general trend.
What's more, our underground tribes are rich in all kinds of things that saints need for their practice. If you let me go, I am willing to introduce you to the saints in my tribe, and you will definitely gain a lot."
Zhang Sui looked at the foreign race in front of him, and the blood-resentment almost emanated from his body, and it seemed that he was doing a lot of harm to the human race.
Zhang Sui suddenly laughed and said: "I've also heard that you foreigners have a lot of good things in your hands, but I have a very good habit of doing it myself, so that I can have enough food and clothing. I just get what I need, and generally I don't
Will trouble others."
Seeing this, the aliens threw the jade seal in their hands aside. With a loud bang, the jade seal shattered, and strange lights shot out. Among the nine sword lights, the long sword in the northwest was annihilated without a trace. The sword formation
A gap appears.
The alien body turned into blood light, escaped from the gap, and disappeared in an instant.
Zhang Sui looked at the bloody light and softly shouted: "Zhuyue!"
A cold sword light cast a clear glow at the entrance of Qianren Gorge, like a bright moon rising into the sky, illuminating the earth. The sword light was extremely fast, and it caught up with the blood shadow in an instant, and the blood shadow appeared in this cold light.
Over time, the blood color gradually faded, and finally turned into nothing.
Zhang Sui stood there, feeling the power of disaster and merit entering his body. Zhang Sui's heart moved. The cold sword light returned to him wrapped in a strange gray power. Zhang Sui stretched out his hand and touched it.
The power poured into the body, and as expected, it was the same power that formed Zhang Sui's glass body.
Zhang Sui pondered for a moment and said in his heart: "Since this power comes from their so-called Kongming clan, let's call it the power of Kongming."
Zhang Sui glanced at the leader of the men in black who was tired on the ground, stepped forward and grabbed his collar, jumped into the air and flew towards the merchant ship.
The men in black behind him who were frozen into ice sculptures turned into dust in the night wind and scattered in all directions without a trace.
When he returned to the merchant ship, Zhang Sui saw many people waiting for him on the deck. In addition to Lao Lu, Tong Yin, You De and others were also there.
Seeing Zhang Sui returning to the deck with a person in his hand, everyone couldn't help but be a little curious.
Zhang Sui threw the man in black in front of Tong Yin and said, "This guy has colluded with the foreign tribes and is waiting here to intercept and kill the old soldiers returning to the military camp. Several groups of people have been poisoned by them."
When Tong Yin and others heard this, their expressions changed drastically. When they looked at the man in black who was lying on the ground, their eyes were full of murderous intent.
Zhang Suidao: "This person has been decommissioned by me, so I will leave it to you to interrogate yourself. The others have been killed by me. By the way, the alien said that there are still four groups of interception and killing people distributed in the four directions. If you
If you have the means to notify other people, it’s best to do it as soon as possible to prevent anyone else from suffering.”
Tong Yin bowed his hands to Zhang Sui with a dark face, and immediately ordered several people to take the black man to the warehouse for interrogation.
At the same time, a few more soldiers came forward. Under Tong Yin's instructions, they took out a few thick bamboo tubes and quickly asked someone to write down the information. They opened the bamboo tubes and took out ten fist-sized hummingbirds and fed them to them.
Some grains with a strange aroma.
Looking at the ten hummingbirds shot out by lightning, Tong Yin bowed to Zhang Sui and said, "Thank you for having the Second Young Master by my side, otherwise we old soldiers would probably be in trouble."
Zhang Sui shook his head and said: "Even without me, if these people dare to board the ship, it shouldn't be a big problem with Brother You and the others. What I'm worried about is the person behind him, that guy is the real disaster."
As he spoke, he told Tong Yin and others about the conversation between him and the foreign race, and everyone around them cursed.
They are not afraid of fighting against foreigners, but what they hate most are those of their own who stab them in the back.
Tong Yin even scolded: "There are some people in the court who don't even have a face! They even cheated their own people for some benefits of foreign races. If the ancestors of the Zhu family were here, they would have to peel off their skins."
You can’t come down!”
Lao Lu sighed: "I don't know which brothers are in trouble. Damn it, if we find out who colluded with those foreign races to harm our brothers, I will definitely let the general report this matter to the sky!"
The other veterans were also filled with indignation and rage.
Soon a soldier came up to report that the man in black was very tough and unwilling to say anything.
Lao Lu said with a sinister smile: "My favorite person, Lu Shanren, is a tough guy. Ask Lao Fang to come over and accompany me down. Let's go have a good chat with that guy."
Everyone else looked strange when they heard that Lao Lu wanted to do it himself. The man named Lao Fang was a veteran who was missing half of his foot. When he heard Lao Lu calling him, he replied with a smile on his face: "Brother Lu, just wait for you.
Let’s just say, I haven’t done anything in these years, I don’t know if my hand is healthy or not.” After saying that, he patted a small box that he carried with him, and pulled Lao Lu down to the cabin.
When the others saw this and looked at his small box, they all shuddered.
Seeing this, Zhang Sui followed him down to take a look. However, You De grabbed him and said, "Second Young Master, please don't go down. They started fighting. They don't like others to watch."
Although Zhang Sui was curious, he gave up the idea of going on after hearing You De's words.
After one night, the ship had already left Qianren Gorge.
It had just dawned, and there was already a commotion on the deck.
Zhang then came to the deck and saw that all the sergeants were fully armed and all their belongings had been packed away.
When Lao Lu saw Zhang Sui arriving, he quickly came over to say hello and said: "In another hour, we can land ashore. Then we will switch to riding horses, which will be faster."
Zhang Sui nodded when he heard this and asked, "How was the trial last night?"
Lao Lu shook his head and said: "That guy doesn't know much. The adult he talks about is also a pawn, but it can be regarded as a gain. Lao Tong has already passed the results of the interrogation to the general. Just look at it, the unlucky man
It’s definitely indispensable!”
Zhang Sui asked: "Where is that guy?"
Lao Lu said with a cruel smile: "The river is full of them!"
Zhang Sui was speechless after hearing this, but he didn't ask too much. He shook his head and returned to his room, continuing to study his glazed body, waiting to set off after landing.
An hour can be said to be long or short. Just when Zhang Sui was using his glass body to perform various sword skills in the void of consciousness, the merchant ship had already arrived at a pier.
When Zhang Sui, who was awakened by Lao Lu, came to the deck, all the sailors on the ship had already come over. When they saw Zhang Sui, they all bowed to him.
Zhang Sui responded with a smile and cupped his hands. The ship owner Zhou Zhi stepped forward, held up a short blade with both hands, and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, I also know that you are not an ordinary person, and you may not necessarily value these mortal things.
This short blade was obtained by accident when I was fighting barbarians. There is nothing strange about it, except that it is extremely sharp.
Now this thing is of no use in my hands, so I will give it to the young master. May the young master’s military fortune be prosperous!”
Zhang Sui laughed, took it in his hand unceremoniously, and pulled out the short blade. He saw that the blade was shining with cold light, and it was indeed extremely sharp.
Zhang Sui cupped his fists and said, "Then I'd like to thank Brother Zhou!"
Seeing that he accepted it, Zhou Zhi was extremely happy and said: "You're welcome, you're welcome!"
The old road in the distance greeted Zhang Sui. Zhang Sui cupped his hands in front of the sailors and walked towards the old road with his short blade in hand.
