Chapter 172: Survival in a desperate situation

(Thank you very much to ‘book friend 18672397’ for your generous support and monthly ticket support.)

There was a heavy bone chopping knife stuck on the thick chopping board in the corner of the kitchen. Shen Guang took it casually and stepped lightly on the floor a few times. Hearing the hollow echo from the floor, he moved away. That chopping board made of tree stump.

Sure enough, there was a pull ring under the chopping board. He took a pot of vegetable oil and poured it evenly on the rotating shaft. After the vegetable oil wet the rotating shaft, he forcefully lifted the pulling ring, and a three-foot-square secret door was opened by him silently. opened.

Someone's voice came from below. Shen Guang perked up and listened carefully. He found that two or three people were arguing over an issue.

A clear voice suddenly broke in.

"Stop arguing. Whether this Taoist priest should be killed or released, or whether it has other uses, is up to the higher authorities to decide. You two have been cured by others. If you want to repay your kindness, just cut off each other's heads."

"Lord Wen is joking, I wonder what it means?"

"I don't know what it means. We just have to obey the orders and keep an eye on the old Taoist priest."

When Shen Guang heard this, he was unwilling to listen any more and was ready to continue looking for the place where Sun Simiao was imprisoned.

He grabbed a pillar with his hands and slowly slid down from it. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he saw a light coming from the front. He put his feet on the ground, jumped forward, and quickly got under a large table. Holding the Tianchan Knife in his hand, he looked coldly at the approaching footsteps. Once he realized that something was wrong, he would use this bone-chopping knife to chop off the two soles of his feet.

When Shen Guang heard this, he was ready to leave, because what should be heard had been heard. If he continued to listen, he would be in danger of being exposed at any time.

He grabbed a pillar with his hands and slowly slid down from it. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he saw a light shining through in front of him. He touched his toes, jumped forward, and quickly got under a large table. Holding his breath, holding the sword in his right hand, he looked coldly at the approaching footsteps. Once he found out that something was wrong, he would kill in a violent manner.

Watching the footsteps gradually move away, Shen Guang hooked his legs on the beam, hung down, and looked into the room through the gaps between the purlins, trying to see who had just entered.

A man wearing a soft turban sat in the upper position, playing with an iron knife in his hand. Opposite him sat a thin old man, and on the other side sat a bald, strong man with two knives inserted under his ribs and his right hand. He is always within one foot of the handle of the knife, and seems ready to attack and hurt someone at any time.

"Actually, we can also make some guesses. The former crown prince was deposed because of Queen Dugu's actions. The emperor actually didn't like Yang Guang very much. Now that the queen is dead, how can the former prince not take action? Naturally, we adults will do our best... "

"Keep your voice down. It's better for us to talk less about this kind of thing. Anyway, we just have to obey orders when the time comes."

"It's not that I want to argue, but it's just that it won't do us any good if it continues like this. There is always a noose around our brothers' necks. Can you guys who are pulling the ropes do what you want to do earlier?"

"What do you know? Before doing such a big thing, you must be careful before you can succeed immediately. If you do it in a hurry, if you miss it, the consequences will be disastrous."

Shen Guang always felt that the three of them were very strong, not even weaker than him, so when he saw this, he didn't want to read any more. He slowly lifted his body with his waist strength, grabbed a protruding cornice, and then used both hands to He held his arms on both sides of the narrow aisle and slowly moved down from the height, preparing to continue searching.

After passing a row of low rooms, and just as he was about to enter the passage and leave, a man walked in from the dark passage in the distance, holding a food box in his hand.

Shen Guang's heart moved, he jumped up, grabbed the purlin again, put his body up, and quietly followed this person.

After passing a row of low rooms, a man carrying a food box walked into one of the rooms.

Shen Guang hurriedly glanced at the open door when the man entered the room, and saw a Taoist priest in his forties sitting cross-legged inside motionless, with food and water beside him.

After just one glance, Shen Guang immediately recognized that this Taoist priest was Sun Simiao.

At this moment, Sun Simiao suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at the place where Shen Guang was hiding.

"He seems to have discovered me?" Shen Guang was slightly startled, and when he was about to leave quietly, there was a noise from behind.

A middle-aged man in black clothes and holding a knife walked out of the house. He quickly stepped out of the door and asked, "What happened?"

"Someone has sneaked in, be careful..." A tall, thin man in black at the entrance said loudly from a distance.

But before the man could finish his words, Shen Guang, who was secretly unlucky, did not bother to hide his figure. He picked up the Tianchan knife and slashed at the middle-aged man in black who was standing at the door of Sun Simiao's house.

The middle-aged man who heard the wind fell straight back. At the same time, the long knife in his hand flashed out, facing Shen Guang who was flying down.

The Tianchan knife and the long knife collided with each other with a clang, and then swung apart. However, Shen Guang's body pressed against him like a ghost, and the sharp Tianchan knife had already sliced ​​across the middle-aged man's neck very quickly.

As soon as the middle-aged man started screaming, he stopped again, and his entire head was chopped off.

Hearing the shouts not far away, Shen Guang did not dare to stay for long. He jumped up quickly and killed the man who had just walked out of the house with a knife. Then he shot out like a crossbow and aimed at the throat of the man who was shouting. Cut off the neck.

The man screamed and fell backwards. At the same time, the long knife that appeared in his hand was slashed out, and the sword flashes met the rushing Shen Guang.

The two knives collided with each other with a clang, and then swung apart. However, the Tian Chan Knife in Shen Guang's hand trembled slightly and used extremely subtle and superb sword skills to remove the force from the knife. Not only did his body not rebound at all, but it also accelerated suddenly. It was shot out like a crossbow arrow, slamming forward heavily.

There was a bang, and the man screamed. Shen Guang heard the shouts not far away. He didn't care about finishing his last blow and didn't dare to stay for a long time. He jumped up and rushed towards the secret passage without looking back. But then he His body retreated violently, but he was forced back by an iron sword, and the owner of that iron sword was the man wearing a soft turban. Not only was he not weaker than him, he was also followed by a group of people.

The road was blocked. Shen Guang retreated all the way with an ugly face, rushed into the room where Sun Simiao was, then closed the heavy door as quickly as possible and placed the thick door bolt behind the door. After doing this, He quickly took out an incense stick from his arms, lit it, and stuck it in a corner where no one was paying attention.

While Shen Guang was doing these things, Sun Simiao stared silently, his nose twitching slightly, and his face was full of curiosity about the incense candle he had inserted.

"You'd better not come in, or I'll kill Sun Simiao." Seeing a man wearing a turban leading more than ten people outside the house, Shen Guang put the Tianchan knife on Sun Simiao's neck and said loudly.

The people outside who were about to break into the door suddenly stopped, but then the man wearing a soft turban glanced at Shen Guang, sneered and said, "Don't worry about him, just open the door and go in first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the door with a knife and rushed in with more than ten people.

"If you dare to take action, I will kill Sun Simiao." Shen Guang's words came again, and the man wearing a soft hat waved his hand, and everyone finally stopped.

"Who are you? How brave are you to come here?" The man wearing a soft turban stared at Shen Guang and said in a cold voice.

Shen Guang silently counted the time in his heart and thought to himself: "Down!"

The next moment, except for the man wearing a soft turban, the other people who came in after him suddenly fell to the ground, their eyes wide open, and they couldn't lift up or move at all.

The man wearing a soft bun was shocked, and was about to make a move, but then he fell to the ground. Shen Guang secretly lamented that the life-saving poisonous scent given to him by his Lord Marquis was really powerful, and he was worthy of being called a poisonous general.

Note: Recently, some readers specifically added me on QQ and used the legend "The Biography of the Qiu Bearded Guest" first seen in the Tang Dynasty to criticize Yang Su's writing in this book for being untrue and inconsistent with history. I specifically learned about this book and only a few Thousand Words has been widely circulated and can be regarded as the originator of martial arts novels.

Five characters are highlighted in the article, Yang Su, Li Jing, the bearded guest Zhang, with no surname, Zhang Chuchen, the girl with a red whisker, and Li Shimin, who showed the appearance of a real dragon and emperor at the age of twenty. Because this novel is so famous, many people Most readers regard it as history.

But this novel is, after all, a legend, or a fairy tale. If we measure it by the three facts and seven imaginaries in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", except for Yang Su, Li Jing, Li Shimin and other real people in the book, there is no realism at all. .

For example, Li Yuan raised an army in the 13th year of the Sui Dynasty (617), and Li Shimin was born in 598, which was exactly twenty years old. Therefore, in "The Biography of the Bearded Guest", he asked Li Jing about the heroes of the world, and Li Jing answered "zhou The general's son is only twenty." and other words.

However, when Yang Guang visited Jiangdu in the twelfth year of Daye, Yang Su had been dead for ten years. His descendants were also slaughtered by Yang Guang because of the failure of Yang Xuangan's rebellion. In the beginning of the biography of all the bearded guests, " Emperor Yang was lucky enough to be in Jiangdu and ordered Sikong Yang Su to guard Xijing" and later Li Shimin was "only twenty years old". I am afraid that he would not be able to compete with the famous Sui Dynasty official Yang Su. Perhaps Yang Guang had unexpected abilities and pulled out the dead ghosts from the underworld. Stay at home for him.

There is another possibility, that is, this Yang Su is not that Yang Su. Then, it would be meaningless for Li Jing to visit him and be praised by him.

Therefore, novels are novels and must not be read as history. If you read the things in the novel as official history and take it as the truth, you will not only harm yourself, but you will often make the mistake of using your own ignorance to lead to confusion. Mistakes others make.

Jiukong is overestimating his abilities, and the book he wrote is also an interpretation of an imaginary history. Since it is an imaginary historical novel, it is probably full of loopholes compared with the official history, no less than "The Biography of the Qiu Bearded Guest". I just hope that everyone will read it as a novel and have a laugh. However, don’t take it seriously.
