A knife in love

Chapter 69

At this time, only three drums were heard, and the eight soldiers dragged the four white-clothed prisoners to the front of the main hall, forcing them to kneel down.Then, four shirtless men walked out from the ranks of soldiers, holding ghost-headed knives in their hands, walked quickly behind the four prisoners, and raised the ghost-headed knives high.

The military officer sitting on the horse nodded, and the four ghost-head knives chopped off at the same time, but seeing the blood burst out, the four heads had already rolled out.After a long time, the four headless corpses fell down with a bang.

Thousands of soldiers waved their swords and guns and cheered loudly.The military officer raised his hand, only to hear the sound of a drum, and all the soldiers immediately returned to stand still.The military officer said loudly: "All the battalions will be moved to the front hall tonight, and the forward battalion will set up camp five miles west of Lianhua Mountain!"

I saw the soldiers of each team start to move, and the military officer leading the team waved various flags. After half a stick of incense, all the soldiers in front of the hall had retreated, and even the four corpses and heads were taken away, leaving only A large bloodstain in front of the temple.

More than a dozen military officers saw that all the soldiers had retreated, so they turned their horses and walked out of the apse slowly.

It wasn't until the last bit of light disappeared that Zhuang Hengyun whispered: "The situation is not right, everyone get out of here first!"

They walked back out of Kangling along the way they had come, walked straight for five or six miles, and came to a forest. They saw that there was no one around, and then stopped.Yu Changyuan said: "How can there be such a coincidence in the world? We have just arrived here, and the army guarding the mausoleum actually wants to withdraw? This is clearly a trap!"

Zhuang Hengyun said: "Brother, younger brother has visited the mausoleum many times, and there is indeed no one living in that wing. That person tonight is quite strange, not an ordinary person..."

Everyone discussed again, but couldn't figure it out.Xu Yingyang whispered to Li Qiufeng: "Lord Li, do you know that military officer surnamed Sang?"

Before Li Qiufeng could answer, he heard Yu Changyuan say: "I know this man, he is Sang Liangtian, the general soldier of Malanyu. This man is cruel, and he was only a leading soldier back then. He went out with the late emperor twice and killed a lot of people. The Tartar soldiers were very favored by the late emperor, so they were exceptionally promoted and promoted all the way to the commander-in-chief. However, after Jinshang succeeded to the throne, it was strictly forbidden for the frontier generals to make meritorious deeds to provoke the Tartars, and Sang Liangtian was transferred from Datong to Malanyu. Emperor Daxing guards the tomb."

Li Qiufeng said: "A little general, even wanting to sideline the Qing emperor, is making it clear that he wants to rebel. It is a serious crime to kill soldiers before the battle without the approval of the Ministry of War. I think this surnamed Sang has other plans. .”

Xu Yingyang said: "This Sang Liangtian was promoted from a small soldier to a general soldier. He is definitely not a reckless person. Looking at his behavior tonight, it is clear that he is desperate, and there must be someone behind him. It is indeed a fat job to transfer from here to Shandong. For Sang Liangtian, it was something he could not have wished for. But he blatantly killed his generals and allowed the soldiers to yell out bastard slogans like 'Qing Jun's side', either he is crazy or he wants to rebel!"

Yu Changyuan said: "There have been changes in the Imperial Mausoleum, we can't stay here for long, we'd better go back and make plans!"

At this moment, only a soft "click" sound was heard.The seven of them are all masters of martial arts, although the voice was extremely soft, they were already aware of it.Zhuang Hengyun said in a low voice: "There is someone behind!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Ming had already pulled out his long sword, turned his head and threw himself at a big tree.

In the dark night, he saw his sword flashing, stabbing towards a vague figure beside the tree.

Just hearing a "poof", Zhu Ming's long sword had pierced into the figure's body.

At this moment, Zhu Ming screamed, and the long sword in his right hand fell to the ground.Looking at Zhu Ming again, he looked like he was drunk, swayed in front of the big tree, and fell to the ground with a "plop".

Yu Changyuan and the others turned pale with shock, only to see that figure suddenly began to change, from one figure to two, then from two to four, from four to eight.In the blink of an eye, there were already dozens of figures standing in front of everyone.Gradually these shadows became clear, and they were clearly dozens of men in black.Holding knives in both hands, these men in black slowly approached the crowd.

When Li Qiufeng saw these men in black, he immediately thought of the killers he and Yan Dufei met in the mountains that day.He knew that these killers had strange martial arts and vicious attacks, so they must not be underestimated.So with a backhand slap, the long knife was already out of its sheath.

Holding the judge's pen in both hands, Yu Changyuan said to Zhuang Hengyun: "Go and save the fourth child, and the third child and I will stop them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he straightened up, waved his pens, and rushed towards a man in black in front of him.

Seeing that his judge's pen was about to pierce the man in black's chest, but unexpectedly the man in black suddenly fell to the ground, Yu Changyuan's move was in vain.At this moment, a man in black on the right moved over, and slashed at Yu Changyuan head-on with a long knife in his hand.Yu Changyuan held the judge's pen in his left hand, concentrating his inner strength in his hand, trying to knock out the man's long knife.It's just that before the weapon was handed over, the man in black had withdrawn his sword and retreated.The man in black who fell on the ground suddenly stood up, and stabbed Yu Changyuan's abdomen with the long knife in his hand.Yu Changyuan drew a circle with the judge's brush with his right hand, intending to seal the saber, but the man saw that there was no way he could take advantage of it, and immediately backed away.Another man in black pounced on the left and right, and slashed at Yu Changyuan's throat with two long knives.

These men in black marched and retreated in an orderly manner, obviously they had been practicing together for quite a long time.In the blink of an eye, six people had moved towards Yu Changyuan, forcing him into a panic.Seeing that the situation was not good, He Yi stepped forward to meet the enemy with a sword, but four more people surrounded him, making it impossible for him and Yu Changyuan to reunite.

Zhuang Hengyun rushed forward, wanting to rescue Zhu Ming, but he took only three steps and was surrounded by two men in black.These two swordsmen made strange moves, even Zhuang Hengyun's killing move was avoided by them, not only failed to get close to Zhu Ming, but was forced back two steps by those two people.

Ever since these killers showed up, Xu Yingyang remained still, as if he was deep in thought.Li Qiufeng felt a little strange, but didn't think much about it.Seeing that Yu Changyuan and others were surrounded by killers, he couldn't just sit idly by.Holding the long knife at the moment, he strode forward.A killer rushed towards him with a knife, and before he could make a move, Li Qiufeng slashed at his throat.The man didn't expect Li Qiufeng to strike so quickly, so he dodged to the side, but Li Qiufeng turned around immediately, still facing him, and slashed down on the head with the long knife.

This knife was fast and ruthless, the killer didn't want to use his knife to take on Li Qiufeng's long knife, but there was no way to retreat, no way to avoid, so he swung his knife to meet him.

With a sharp "Zheng", the killer's knife had already been chopped off by Li Qiufeng.Li Qiufeng kept cutting the killer's head with his long knife, and cut it all the way to the killer's abdomen, splitting him in half from head to waist.

Li Qiufeng withdrew the knife.I saw the killer swaying a few times before falling to the ground with a bang, blood spattering, in a horrific state.

Although those killers were extremely ferocious, but when they saw their companions die so horribly, they were so frightened that they turned around and fled away.One of the killers escaped a bit slower, surrounded by Yu Changyuan, He Yi and Zhuang Hengyun.Seeing that there was no way to escape, he swung a knife with his right hand and cut himself on the neck, immediately fell to the ground and died.

Yu Changyuan rushed to Zhu Ming's side, only to see that his stomach had been cut open, his intestines were spilled all over the floor, and he was already dead.Yu Changyuan caressed the corpse and wept bitterly, while Zhuang Hengyun and He Yi persuaded him.After a long time, Yu Changyuan stopped crying and said sadly: "Let's take the body of the fourth child back first."

Zhuang Hengyun took off his coat, wrapped Zhu Ming's body up, put it on his back, and returned along the way he came.Along the way, several people took turns carrying Zhu Ming's body on their backs, so the walking was naturally slow.When we saw the flat ground when we set off, it was already five watch.

Seeing the crowd, the two Zhuang Ding who were guarding the night rushed up to greet them, and they were all startled when they saw Zhu Ming's body.The five villa owners of Wuhu Mountain Villa have been in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, two of them died successively. These Zhuang Ding are naturally afraid.

Yu Changyuan stood on the edge of the cliff, looking in the direction of the imperial mausoleum from a distance, and remained silent.Zhuang Hengyun and He Yi didn't know how to persuade him, so they had to accompany him.Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei sat far away under a rock with their eyes closed.Xu Yingyang tied a few ropes between two big trees, made a hammock, and fell asleep soundly on it.

It wasn't until the sun rose from the Lianhua Mountain on the east side that Yu Changyuan let out a long sigh, walked back to the big stone that Zhuang Ding had paved for him earlier, and sat down weakly.Zhuang Hengyun said: "Brother, don't be sad, although the fourth and fifth are gone, as long as we find the treasure, we can also comfort their spirits in heaven."

Yu Changyuan said: "There is no clue about the treasure right now, and two brothers have died. Could it be that our trip really offended the world, and that's why we fell on us?"
