Comprehensive martial arts: He was in the Jin Kingdom, but he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty

Chapter 54 Three Levels (Part )

Geng Ping covered his wound and hurriedly retreated into the village. People were in a hurry as he passed by, and he wanted to tell them to run when they needed to. But he was suspicious that Ouyang Ke Wan Yankang had seen something, so he resisted the urge to speak.

There were shouts, the sound of swords and guns, and two sneers from behind. Geng Ping didn't need to look back to know that his brothers couldn't stop the two evil stars. Sure enough, there were continuous screams, cries of pain, and muffled sounds, and the smell of blood spread, so thick that it could not be dispersed.

But they blocked them for a while, and Geng Ping could feel the fierce energy following them, trying to attack him all the time, but never touched him at all. It was obvious that someone was helping to resist. He was heartbroken but did not look back. He was heartbroken but did not hesitate. He hurriedly walked towards a path leading to the outside world in the village.

At this moment, he knew very well that the faster he ran, the fewer brothers would die.

The topography of the yin and yang sides of Dong'an Mountain plays an important role at this time. Following the trail, you can cross the rock wall and reach the back of the mountain, where the bones of the deceased brothers in the village are buried.

He ran all the way, but there were many things in his mind, including grief, but more sustenance, sadness, but even greater expectations. He thought of a lot, but it was numerous and not chaotic. He ran while thinking, and when he was almost done thinking, he was finally caught up.

So he stopped.

With a bang, a gun flew from behind, like a thunderbolt from the sky or an exploding meteor. It carried a very strong smell of gunpowder smoke and pierced the ground in front of Geng Ping. Geng Ping looked at the gun in front of him quietly, then suddenly turned around and saw two people in the distance, one black and one white, following him slowly.

In the mass graves, there are tombstones and grave mounds everywhere, but their styles are different. Some are luxuriously and formally repaired, while others are hastily decorated. It was because Dong'an Mountain did not have strong strength at the beginning, so the dead brother took a straw mat, dug a hole and buried it. Later, he was able to spend money to buy coffins and carve inscriptions.

One of Geng Ping's great ideals is to enshrine the brothers who died along the way on memorial tablets, tell their origins, and make them known to the world, instead of dying in this deserted place as if they were worthless. Looking back now, he feels that this ideal may be a bit petty.

If you can achieve great things in life, why do you have to have people know about you and have people talk about your name? Those great things that have been done, don’t they also leave your traces?

Wanyankang and Ouyang Ke came to him. Ouyang Ke stood still, but Wanyankang bypassed him and went to get the spear behind him. It was very quiet during the process. They didn't speak to him, and they didn't pay attention to his movements, as if he had become a plaything in their hands and could not stir up any trouble.

In fact, they were thinking about how to get Lu Chen's whereabouts from Geng Ping.

Wanyan Kang was behind Geng Ping and pulled the spear smoothly. He rolled his eyes and said in surprise, "Geng Ping... is that right? When you protected Lu Chen, did you ever think about this situation and how many people you killed? . How much they believe in you, but you have to sacrifice them for someone you have met a few times. Is it worth it? "

Geng Ping's face darkened.

Ouyang Ke understood Wan Yankang's meaning and followed, "Actually, we are not deliberately suppressing bandits, our target is just Lu Chen. If you are interested, tell us where Lu Chen is. We can pretend that this has never happened. We I have never been here before, we will withdraw our troops immediately and will meet all your requirements."

Geng Ping was stunned for a moment, "Is this true?"

Wanyankang smiled and said, "Of course I mean what I said, and I'm not afraid that you will know that Lu Chen fooled me and caused the fatal news to leak out. Da Jin Kingdom will definitely not spare my life. If I continue to serve Da Jin, I will not be able to escape death in the end." Words. In that case, why should I be foolish and loyal?"

Ouyang Ke said, "In the final analysis, Lu Chen is against us, and you are against Daikin. But now it seems that Lu Chen has nothing to do with you, and Daikin and we are not on the same front. We used Daikin, Maybe Lu Chen is just using you."

Wan Yankang followed closely, "Think about it carefully, what was he doing when you were fighting bloody battles here? He may think you are fools and idiots. Even if he is a little touched by your death , but who knows that the emotion was because the deceased was not him."

Ouyang Ke said, "So, the young prince will no longer be the young prince, but he will still be the young prince now. What this means is that he can use the power of the young prince to do all kinds of things in the Southland without having to I’m worried about the punishment from the Kingdom of Jin afterwards.”

They talked to each other and analyzed the truth clearly. Geng Ping's throat rolled, "This..."

Wanyankang smiled bitterly and said, "It's not so much that you don't have to worry, it's better that you don't have to worry about having too many debts."

He added, "But no matter what, I want to give you a lot of things, but it is not difficult. In fact, if you have been here for a long time, you will be burned sooner or later. When the time comes, there will be people more powerful than us to deal with you. It is better to go back to the Southern Song Dynasty." ? I can help you do it and make this journey smooth."

Ouyang Ke added, "You'd better not think too much. If you think too much, one more of your brothers will die. As long as Lu Chen is handed over, we will immediately go back and order the soldiers to stop fighting and treat your brothers tomorrow." Send an army to take you across the border, and we’ll break up. This is a very favorable condition, how about it?”

Geng Ping suddenly sighed, "So Brother Lu has always been against people like you? I suddenly feel that the most terrifying thing about you is that I deeply feel that what you say is true and credible, and there is absolutely no falsehood. How wonderful it would be to take everyone back to the Song Dynasty..."

Then he sighed, "I was almost persuaded by you."

Wan Yankang and Ouyang Ke's faces darkened at the same time. They were neither deaf nor fools. The word "almost" can be heard clearly, and there is no obstacle in understanding it. This sentence still holds true in another way: I, Geng Ping, have not been persuaded by you.

Ouyang Ke snorted coldly, "If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink wine as a penalty!" The sleeves and robes unfolded, like flowers blooming in the air, and then a poisonous snake poked out from the flowers, and it seemed like a flame was blown up by the wind, and suddenly stretched to the extreme. Long, it seemed to reach Geng Ping's forehead in a flash.

Wan Yankang didn't even make a move, he just said, "Keep him alive and torture him severely!"

Then he saw a light.

Knife light.

Geng Ping drew his sword and struck Ouyang Ke with one strike.

His movements were as fast as lightning and as fierce as fire. When he made this slash, it felt as if it should have been made a long, long time ago. It's just that for a long time, he has been suppressing, controlling, and suppressing, until now, he finally became impatient, unable to restrain, and unable to control!
At this moment, it seems that the person is not controlling the knife, but the knife is controlling the person. Every slightest movement of Geng Ping's, the trembling of his muscles, and the surge of internal energy, were all coordinated perfectly, reflecting his anger, pain, and depression with the edge, sharpness, and strength of the knife.

Wanyankang's originally casual expression suddenly became slightly serious, as if he was watching an ant grow wings.

The light of the sword is not the Qi of the sword, nor the Gang of the sword, nor the light of the sword. It was supposed to be short-lived, momentary, and burst out, but because it dazzled people's eyes, it became a visual residue. But in Geng Ping's hands, the sword light was so beautiful that it seemed to last forever, turning into a fan-shaped curtain of light. This light curtain suddenly disappeared.

All changes stopped at this moment, and Ouyang Ke stopped the blade with one hand. His hands are white, slender, clean, and have well-defined finger bones. This is a hand that makes people think of the word weak, but it is not weak at all, and all Geng Ping's efforts were in vain.

The movements of the two people were frozen at a certain moment, and then changed dizzyingly. Ouyang Ke waved his hand, and his fist suddenly wrapped around the blade. He lightly touched Geng Ping's wrist. Geng Ping fell down as if struck by lightning, and the knife came out of his hand.

But in the end, Ouyang Ke still raised his eyebrows. There was a stabbing sound, and a mark suddenly cracked from small to large on the snow-white sleeve robe, with a look of shock and anger on his face.

Geng Ping fell to the ground. He was not surprised. Instead, he smiled and said, "Damn it, I've wanted to chop you in the head for a long time."

Wanyankang noticed something was wrong. He noticed that when Geng Ping said this, his throat moved, and he made a swallowing movement while speaking, "What did you swallow just now?"

Ouyang Ke came to his senses, stepped forward and clasped Geng Ping's jaws, looked between his lips and teeth, and found that they were all black. He was so angry that he was trembling all over. When he looked up, he saw the proud look on Geng Ping's face. It was obvious that he had hidden poison in his lips and teeth and swallowed it immediately when the situation was bad, so that he would not be tortured and said that Lu Where the dust goes.

Geng Ping smiled at him twice, then gradually lowered his head and lost his life.

Ouyang Ke's face looked ugly for a while, turning green and red. Suddenly he took a deep breath and smiled again, "Well, okay, very good. If you don't tell me, do you think there is nothing we can do? Where can you move Lu Chen? It's just here It’s just in the mountains.”

Looking around, "Maybe, in this mass grave, we can have someone dig it out tomorrow!"

Wan Yankang speculated, "Let's recruit those traitors. Although we don't know Lu Chen's whereabouts, we know Geng Ping's daily routine. They may have some clues. In short, let's go back first."

When the two look at each other, they can feel what the other is thinking. They felt that this time they went up to the mountains to suppress the bandits, it seemed that their side had the advantage in every aspect, but in the end they got nothing, and they felt an indescribable feeling of emptiness. This was not just because Lu Chen’s body was not found, but also because of Geng Ping’s weird attitude.

A heavy question appeared in the minds of both of them at the same time. They couldn't help but think: Why did Geng Ping protect Lu Chen so much, even at the expense of the lives of many brothers on Dong'an Mountain? Why?
They don't understand people like Geng Ping, but they recognize them. Most of them are first-rate hard-core people. But there are soft ways to deal with soft bones, and hard bones have ways to deal with hard bones. If you give Geng Ping a knife, he may still laugh while eating, but if you give Geng Ping a knife, he will be heartbroken to keep him.

Therefore, they tried their best to express themselves and portray Lu Chen as a disaster star that had harmed all their brothers in Dong'an Mountain. However, if we communicate purely based on interests, we can ensure the future of their brothers.

Logically speaking, this is an excellent way to deal with Geng Ping. What's more important is that the path they mentioned is absolutely feasible. This is not a lie or a deception, but a sincere and sincere expression that is rare for Yilangyi.

They would never have imagined that when they harm others with malicious intentions, they can often achieve all sorts of disadvantages. Today you tell the truth, but others treat you like a donkey.

Wan Yankang was halfway there when he suddenly said, "Tell me, could it be that it wasn't Lu Chen that he wanted to save? It was something related to Lu Chen that was more important to him than the lives of his brothers?" "

Ouyang Ke shook his head and said, "I don't know."

He said, "This kind of person is a madman and a fool. Look at him, he is still laughing after death. What's so funny. We are normal people. How can normal people understand the thinking of a madman and a fool? He thought his death was worth it. , but we don’t know how stupid he is in our eyes. He is a joke, the most ridiculous person I have ever seen in my life."

Wan Yankang looked at Ouyang Ke and suddenly realized that he talked a lot today, but he no longer had the calm and leisurely attitude before. Perhaps, when he was still unable to find Lu Chen's whereabouts, his original confidence in controlling the overall situation was also like a gap in the sleeves of his robe, which was cut in half, and there was a flaw.

……

The two returned to the front of the stronghold and found that the fighting had stopped.

Without their two main combat forces, the gap between the remaining officers and soldiers and the bandits was not very big. They fought fiercely, but did not achieve any major results.

In the end, the two of them killed dozens of cottage bandits, which was their greatest achievement. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining bandits fled in all directions, leaving behind more than a dozen corpses. Since it was nighttime and the sky was dark, it was difficult for them to pursue them, so they stood still and waited for instructions from the two men.

After Ouyang Ke and Wan Yankang came back, they knew about this and didn't care much. Another order was given, and the seven traitors were asked to lead everyone to search all corners of the village to see if there was anyone who said "the most dangerous place is the safest place." The result was nothing.

In desperation, they had no choice but to call someone to burn down the stronghold and went down the mountain. Wait until early tomorrow morning and then lead the army to search for Lu Chen hidden in the mountains.

In addition, Wan Yankang's previous speculation also had some effect.

When asked about Geng Ping's whereabouts in the past few days, Oogtou was the first to jump out and said, "I remember, Boss Geng... Geng Ping met Lu Chen in his dream every day, discussing how to deal with the two of them... But This process suddenly disappeared yesterday, and we were wondering about it, but we didn't have time to spread the news."

Ouyang Ke and Wanyankang looked at each other, and Wanyankang said thoughtfully, "That means we moved out temporarily last night...it must not be far away."

Another traitor said, "Ah, I remembered. When I got up to pee in the middle of the night, I saw Geng Ping's whereabouts. He went to the west under the cover of darkness. Two gentlemen, he should move Lu Chen there It’s in the mountains to the west!”

Next, several people began to discuss, "Yes, yes, I asked him why he is so tired today. It turns out that he worked all night."

"He knew that the army was approaching, but he was afraid that someone would leak the news. So he hid it from everyone and made temporary decisions by himself."

"Okay, he doesn't trust his brother, so it's right for us to betray him."

Ouyang Ke nodded, "Okay, everyone, go and have a rest today. Early tomorrow morning, please lead the way for us. Even if we turn Dong'an Mountain upside down, we must find Lu Chen for me!"
