Two hundred and seventy-seventh ancient wood of the sad bird in the mountains
After everyone's injuries were taken care of, most of the people in Yanyulou, who were extremely exhausted from trekking in the mountains all night, fell asleep. However, Chen Shi still had no time to spare, and he and Hu Weiyong were busy removing the wounds from the injured.
The dirty cloth and sewage were dumped into a shallow pit and buried, and then they had time to rest for a while.
"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. We'll have to rest for at most half an hour before we get back on the road." Chen Shi, whose throat was smoking, picked up the last gourd of water and was about to drink it all in one gulp, when he saw Hu Weiyong's lips were chapped. After hesitating for a while, he just said
After a brief taste to stop the wetness in his mouth, he gave most of the remaining scoop to the latter, "The road is still long, drink some water and eat some dry food, otherwise you won't have the strength to fight against the enemy even if the pursuers from Songfeng Mountain come."
Hu Weiyong was not polite and took the ladle of water and drank it all in one gulp, "Mr. Chen seems to have forgotten that I also have martial arts skills with me?"
"I forgot about this." Chen Shiyi patted his forehead and said, "You are still young and have martial arts skills. I think a cup of tea will probably make you better. But I, an old man, can't compare to you. This
Now I can’t even lift my arms, let alone draw an arrow.”
"If it hadn't been for Mr. Chen's bow and arrow just now, Young Master Yanyulou would have left three or four people in the courtyard, but Yong thanked him here."
"We are a group of people who are all in the same boat, so it would be too polite to say thank you."
It seemed that he had made great determination. After thinking for a moment, Hu Weiyong gritted his teeth and asked, "In the early years, in the Jiangzhou army, I also saw a few small school captains who were good at bow and horse riding and shooting. Compared to Chen
The old man’s bow and arrow came up, but they still fell short like a tent hanging in the clouds. Why didn’t the old man go to Jiangzhou Prefecture Army to seek an official position?”
Chen Shi seemed to have heard a not-so-funny joke, and he pulled out a forced smile at the corner of his mouth: "Not to mention that he spent most of his first half of his life in the border army, Brother Hu must not forget the master of Songfeng Mountain.
My brother is the general in charge of Jiangzhou's military affairs. Hey, old man, what's the difference between me joining the Jiangzhou army and going directly to the gate of Songfeng Mountain to ask for surrender?"
"It's still a little different after all..."
Even Hu Weiyong himself noticed the lack of confidence and the lower and lower voice when he said these words. The eight-foot tall man laughed at himself in his heart. If he insisted on saying something different, he would still throw himself into the river.
Zhouzhoujun felt a little better for him.
"In a peaceful year, if General Jiangzhou sends someone to invite you, old man, I wouldn't mind going out to teach those bastards of Jiangzhou State Army how to use bows and arrows on horseback. It's not like I'm bragging, old man.
Nine out of ten border military academy lieutenants have come to us to ask for advice on their bow and arrow skills. Somehow, some of them have become generals now." Chen Shi chose a relatively comfortable position and sat down with his back against a tree trunk. "Master Hu, please help the old man.
Watch for half an hour...it's just enough time for a cup of tea."
After the exhausted Chen Shi finished these last words, he could hear a slight snoring in a few breaths.
Being so defenseless, it would be easy to kill him at this time...
Hu Weiyong's face was gloomy and uncertain, and the hand reaching for the handle of the knife at his waist retracted and stretched out again several times.
"I heard that if those bandits in the mountains want to join Luocao, they have to kill one person to make a pledge." The general sitting in the hall smiled and said, "
You, Hu Weiyong, came to the Jiangzhou Prefecture Army with nothing. It is not easy for me to tell my younger brother, who has become even more temperamental after becoming the co-owner of Jiangzhou Jianghu, to kill someone to serve as your surrender. Of course it cannot be
You are a low-class character like a cat or a dog, but I will give you the status of a top-notch military attaché. With your martial arts skills, you will be able to stand out in the Jiangzhou Army after a few years. You will have a bright future ahead of you.
Isn’t it better than being a bereaved dog who lives in fear all day long?”
"It is said that your rivers and lakes are a place where wandering clouds and wild cranes can be at ease. But in my opinion, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers. The so-called freedom you call is just the one who drew it with his own hands in the capital.
You are at ease in the cage. Not only you, but also my younger brother are just birds in the cage in his eyes." The general's voice was playful, "Don't you, Hu Weiyong, want to be like me, even if you can't build the cage with your own hands?
, how about getting out of the cage?"
"But how many people can really be at ease in this world..."
Next, Hu Weiyong could only remember a few words. He didn't understand the Zen sayings such as "the heart dies to be at ease, and the soul returns to be exquisite". Hu Weiyong only understood what the bird in the cage said. He
He just wanted to get rid of the days of hiding around all day long, either killing people or worrying about being killed. There were many brothers in Yanyu Tower who had been with him day and night. No matter how he wanted to strike, he still couldn't hold the knife. Among everyone present, he was the only one.
We don't know Chen Shi from the Zhang family in Qishan County very well, so he probably wouldn't feel much guilt if he killed him...
....
"I thought I would let you go if you could turn around, but it seems that what they promised is really tempting, so tempting that you are willing to be a dog for others."
A knife of excellent quality, the blade stopped at the back of Hu Weiyong's heart, and it was only a hair's breadth away from piercing him. The person holding the knife could finish him by pushing forward slightly. Hu Weiyong knew that he was finished.
The person silently holds the knife against his back. Except for the fact that the martial arts realm must be above him, such a close distance means that there is no room to move and dodge. As soon as the legs move, the body moves again. Martial arts practitioners all understand that the human body
He couldn't move faster than his hands and feet. If he acted rashly at this moment and couldn't keep it together, the next moment he lowered his head, he would see a blade protruding from his chest.
Chen Shi, who was already snoring, slowly opened his eyes. There was no trace of sleepiness in his eyes, and his expression was bitter:
"There is no difference between a person who uses a bow and a person who uses a sword. There is no reason why you don't know if your weapon has been touched. Old man, I became suspicious when you dropped the knife on the road, but I didn't expect you to touch it.
The murderous intention comes back so quickly, if I hadn't been there with the courage, I might not have been your opponent even if I had been prepared."
"I still want to test whether you draw the knife faster or I push the knife forward a few inches faster? This is not the way to seek death." Zhou Gandang, who had long been aware of Hu Weiyong's hidden moves, sneered, "These ordinary things in Yanyu Tower
All of my disciples are eager for revenge, but you, the leader, have arranged an escape route early and sacrificed the lives of your fellow disciples for a bright future. Hu, can you still sleep at night?"
"Half a year ago I couldn't sleep. Whenever I closed my eyes, I was thinking wildly, thinking about when I would die, and how long it would take to live such hard days. When I was drowsy, I felt like my head was gurgling under my clothes.
I'm rolling around, my head is at this end, and my body is at that end." At this time, Hu Weiyong said with relief, "That's good, at least I died happily, and I don't have to live in such pain anymore."
"Who is not suffering? You are afraid of being alone, and you want to trade your brother's life for a bright future. What excuse can you make?" Zhou Gandang sneered, "If you are really afraid, just run away. The world is so big that it cannot be loose everywhere.
Fengshan forces, if you really escape, I won’t help you, at least I won’t add insult to injury.”
"You probably don't dare to go to Gao Xu's place in Songfeng Mountain. Even if Gao Xu squeezes you dry and doesn't take you into Songfeng Mountain, just because your hands are stained with the blood of those disciples from outside the mountain.
, those Songfeng Mountain disciples all want to eat you alive." Chen Shi said to himself, "Jiangzhou is so big, no Jianghu sect can protect you. By the way, and your revealing words before, I guess.
It was Gao Xu, your brother, who promised you the status of a military attache? What rank and rank are you?"
"I am an eighth-grade deputy lieutenant, but I have no soldiers under my command." Hu Weiyong, who had broken the pot and smashed the pot, no longer covered it up and said calmly.
"This officer and General Jiangzhou are begging me, but we may not be willing to go. What's the point of being a high-ranking official? He has no soldiers under his command, and the overt and covert stumbling by those old oil men in the officialdom who are jealous of your sudden wealth is enough.
If you drink a pot and get into trouble with your colleagues, and there are no soldiers under your command, you will be squeezed out in a few days until you take the initiative to resign. By then, you will no longer have the protection of a military attaché.
Fengshan can manipulate you at will, and those fellow disciples in Yanyu Tower also hate you to the core. Do you really think that what those officials promised you is not worth the slightest bit?"
He was such a burly and majestic man. After listening to Chen Shi's words, his whole body seemed to collapse suddenly. His eyes were dull and he was lost in thought. He murmured in his mouth: "No, no... I will become Jiang Shang."
The military attache of the state has to endure all the hardships, how could it be possible, how could it be..."
Zhou Gandang and Chen Shi looked at each other. The former's eyes were stern, while the latter shook his head gently without leaving any trace. Most of the disciples of Yanyu Tower were still asleep. If Hu Weiyong was killed on the spot at this time, it would be unclear when the time came.
There will be trouble. Without Hu Weiyong's fighting power, their team can no longer withstand any internal losses. Chen Shi slowly stood up, intending to wake up everyone in Yanyu Tower first and then kill him in public.
.
Chen Shi is not a kind-hearted person. Since he has given Hu Weiyong a chance, he will not be apologetic or soft-hearted when he strikes again.
At this time, Zigui cried out in the mountains, full of resentment, admiration, weeping, and complaining. Hu Weiyong, who knew there was no room for redemption, had eyes that were dull at first, and then gradually went crazy.
Since it means death no matter what, then even if I die, you will not be able to live!
Although Zhou Gandang didn't see Hu Weiyong's increasingly ferocious and twisted face behind him, he also noticed that something was wrong with the aura on this man's body. The martial artist's five senses were very keen and he was about to draw the sword without allowing him to think about it.
Sure enough, Hu Weiyong's figure suddenly rose up, but he only avoided it by less than half a foot. Zhou Gan thought he had slashed his back diagonally, and blood spattered like ink.
"you dare!"
After Hu Weiyong took out a paper tube from his arms, he was stabbed in the back again, and he tremblingly lit it with a fire stick. Then the paper tube flew away from his hand and flew straight into the sky. It exploded in the air with a sound like thunder and smoke.
