Fenghou

Chapter 107 Hunting
Huyan Jia sat up abruptly, in the dark, he touched his side, and Huyan Yi's seat was empty.

He kicked Hu Yanding awake, "Where did the second child go?"

"I don't know, it seems... to go to the toilet" Hu Yanding said in a daze.

"not good!"

Hu Yanjia pulled out his knife and rushed out, but he was awakened by the scream of his second child.

Hu Yanding didn't dare to sleep anymore, he drew his knife and rushed out.

On the deck, Chen Qing was holding Fang Tian's painting halberd and staring at the woods on the bank.

"General, did you hear the screams too?"

Chen Qing nodded, "Not only the screams, but also the neighing of war horses and the startled flying of old birds, where is Hu Yanyi?"

Chen Qing found that one person was missing.

He went to the toilet at night and never came back.

Chen Qing's eyes were fixed, he jumped onto the board of the boat, ran to the woods, and shouted from a distance: "Leave one person to watch the boat!"

"Third brother, you stay and watch the boat!"

Hu Yanjia explained, and ran out with Chen Qing.

After running more than a hundred steps, Chen Qing stopped, and Hu Yanjia stopped quickly.

"There was a fight here, and there was blood on the ground!"

Chen Qing pointed to the horseshoe prints on the ground, only then did Hu Yanjia see bloodstains on the ground, and the horseshoe prints were very messy.

"There are war horses galloping wildly, there is a pool of blood here, someone should have been killed!"

Chen Qing had rich experience. The pool of blood on the ground was spurted from his neck. A strong intuition told him that this was the Jurchen's method of killing.

"Second" Hu Yanjia's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"Look around!"

Chen Qing ordered, and he followed the blood trails on the ground to find it.

Hu Yanjia patrolled around, but there was no movement, he saw Chen Qing stopped not far away, and ran up quickly.

Under a thick dry tree trunk, Chen Qing used the tip of his halberd to push aside a pile of leaves, revealing a headless corpse. The clothes were clearly that of Hu Yanyi.

"Second brother!"

Hu Yanjia rushed forward, caressing the corpse and weeping.

Chen Qing looked at the corpse with a stern look, no one will offend me, I will not offend anyone, since they made the first move, then don't blame yourself for being cruel.

Chen Qing didn't disturb the boatman, but said that Hu Yanyi had gone back to deliver the letter.

The boatman was also missing one person, but the boat boss didn't care, and he ordered the boat to sail.

After walking for about three miles, the boss of the boat found Chen Qing. He knelt down and clasped his fists and said, "General, we are just ordinary boatmen, and we have absolutely no malice. The missing boatman wasn't with us originally, but was temporarily inserted by the higher-ups. I don’t dare to ask more questions, and I don’t even know his name.”

Chen Qing looked at him for a while, then asked again: "Is it also his arrangement to hang the official ship lantern?"

"That's not true, it's a rule. We take money from the government, and the guests we transport are officials, so official ship lanterns should be hung!"

"Should? Does that mean you can leave it alone?"

"It's true that you don't have to hang it, but if you hang official ship lanterns or put on official flags, you will avoid the front when sailing.

"Except for the missing boatman, where are the other boatmen?"

"General, the other boatmen are my brothers who have been with me for more than ten years. I guarantee that there are no government officials."

Chen Qing looked into his eyes, and nodded after a while, "Okay! I will trust you again this time, when you touch the shore a little later, I will go ashore, and then you continue to walk slowly, and I will naturally catch up with you. "

The boat boss Dalian nodded repeatedly, and he timidly asked: "General, is Second Lord Huyan dead?"

"So you'd better tell the truth, if I find out you're lying, none of you will survive."

The boss of the boat shuddered, "The villain dare not, every sentence is the truth."

Chen Qing asked him to prepare to dock. He carried a pot of arrows on his back, and a bow bag containing a Dingyuan bow on his back. He inserted a sharp dagger into his leather boots, and walked out of the cabin with Fang Tian's painting halberd in his hand.

Hu Yanjia stepped forward and whispered: "General, I will go with you!"

Chen Qing shook his head, "You will drag me down!"

Hu Yanjia's face flushed immediately, "I will never drag the general down."

Chen Qing smiled slightly and said: "I am not underestimating you, your martial arts are only suitable for close combat, but the opponent has at least a dozen of the most elite Jurchen cavalry, your martial arts will not be effective, I will try to take your brother's head bring back."

Hu Yanjia felt sad, he knew that Chen Qing was telling the truth, the martial arts of the second child was no less than his own, but he was beheaded and killed by the enemy after two or three encounters, and it would be a burden to go by himself.

"Okay! Be careful, General."

The boat slowly approached a moored cargo ship, and Chen Qingyi jumped on it. Holding Fang Tian's painting halberd, he quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Hu Yanjia sighed in his heart, he had tried Chen Qing's Fang Tian painting halberd, it weighed more than fifty catties, and it was hard to pick it up, let alone be used as a weapon, hey!I should practice my martial arts on the battlefield.

Chen Qing was squatting on a big tree, and there was a small road below, the only way to go along the river, the other party was riding a horse, it was very inconvenient to walk in the woods, so he had to walk along this road.

It was only five o'clock at this time, and the sky was not yet bright, but the weather was clear, the moon was clear, and the stars were shining brightly, covering the earth with a layer of silver.

Holding the bow and arrow in Chen Qing's hand, he stared at the south. At this moment, two teams of small black spots appeared in front of him, one in front and one behind, with a distance of dozens of steps. The two teams were estimated to have about [-] people, all riding horses.

Chen Qing snorted coldly, the team in front must be the Jurchen cavalry, they disdain to walk with the Han people.

The front team of cavalry was fast and skilled at handling horses. The leader was a Jurchen centurion named Na Huyan, who was Wan Yanchang's deputy guard and was ordered to follow Chen Qing and keep track of his whereabouts.

But before several Jurchen cavalrymen beheaded one of Chen Qing's subordinates, which meant that they were exposed, Na Huyan was angry and annoyed, and severely scolded several cavalrymen.

He had no choice but to be more careful to prevent Chen Qing from escaping on horseback.

The Huyan horse was gradually approaching the big tree where Chen Qing was. At this moment, a spiked arrow shot towards him. The speed of the arrow was so fast that Huyan had no time to react.

'puff! ’ A sound hit his brow, and the arrow shot through his head, and the sudden face let out a muffled cry, ‘Gudong!

The war horse was frightened and ran wildly. Chen Qing was waiting for the horse. He threw the halberd to the ground, and the halberd plunged into the soil.

Just as the war horse passed under the tree, Chen Qing jumped off, just sitting on the horse, grabbed the reins, raised the front hoof of the war horse, and let out a violent cry.

The ten Jurchen cavalrymen in the back yelled and rushed up with murderous intent. Chen Qing grabbed Fang Tian's painted halberd, slammed a few spiked arrows away, and charged towards the Jurchen soldiers with his horse.

The horse galloped wildly, people were like ghosts, passed through the Jurchen crowd, three heads flew up, the eyes of the Jurchen cavalry were red, surrounded from all sides, Chen Qing stabbed left and right, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, unstoppable, and instantly The four Jurchen cavalrymen were picked off their horses and killed with a single halberd.

Seeing that he was too strong, the remaining three people turned around and ran away in fright. Chen Qing saw a human head hanging from the neck of one of the horses. He took out his bow and arrow, hung up his halberd, controlled the horse with his legs, and stretched his bow while galloping. He set up an arrow, and the three arrows shot straight away. The three Jurchen cavalrymen all got arrows in the back of their necks and fell off their horses.

In less than a cup of tea time, Chen Qing beheaded all eleven strong Jurchen cavalrymen. Wang Bo and others who were watching the battle not far away had never seen such a bloody slaughter. They were so scared that they trembled and almost peed Incontinence.

Chen Qing lifted his halberd and looked at Wang Bo coldly. Wang Bo seemed to be stared at by the god of death, so he screamed in fright, turned around and fled, and the rest of his men also turned their horses and followed him to escape.

Not long after, more than [-] warriors fled without a trace.

At this time, a person ran out from the forest, it was Hu Yanding, Chen Qing was startled, "Why are you here?"

Hu Yanding said with a smile: "You just don't allow elder brother to come, but you don't forbid me to come, someone must help the general clean the battlefield!"

Chen Qing said angrily: "Don't worry about anything else, just put the horses together. Your brother's head seems to be on the neck of a war horse."

Startled, Hu Yanding ran towards the horses, not long after, he heard Hu Yanding's bitter cry.

Chen Qing shook his head, he had experienced too many deaths, and there was no longer any turmoil in his heart about life and death.
