The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Central Shu is a place with a lot of rain.Because it is located in a basin, surrounded by high mountains, the cold air from the north is blocked by the mountains, and the hot air from the south is trapped by the basin.The strong high-pressure airflow from the west shrouds the sky over central Sichuan, making it sultry and hot here in summer, but it doesn't feel cold here in winter.The moist air from the east crosses the hills all the way to the west. After climbing the high mountains, it is pressed by the high pressure in the air and falls to the ground, where it immediately turns into raindrops and falls.Especially at the beginning of spring every year, until autumn, almost all of Sichuan is in continuous drizzle.

Tai Shici looked up to the sky and sighed, and just as he spoke, he felt a drop of water fall on his cheek.Not long after, it rained cats and dogs, and the wall of fire in front of them immediately became smaller.Tai Shici was overjoyed, and bowed his hands to the sky: "Thank God!" He turned his horse's head and rushed towards the almost burnt woods.

As soon as it started to rain, Deng Ai felt something was wrong, and was about to organize a defensive line, when Xian Yufu who came from behind hastily stopped him: "Forget it, since the sky is always going on, there is no need for us to kill them all!"

Deng Ai nodded: "Oh! Yes, yes!"

Tai Shici was ready to fight his opponent, but he didn't meet a pawn, which made him a little uncomfortable, as if he had punched cotton.Although I don't know why, since people don't stop me, there is no need to ask.Without stopping, he escaped from Xishan Pass and ran for more than 50 miles in one breath.The war horse snorted and foamed from its mouth, and then stopped.

Checking his own soldiers and horses, there were five thousand when they came, and two thousand who ran out with him alive, and more than half of them were wounded.The deputy general looked at the crowd: "General, what should we do?"

"Zhang Yi!" Tai Shi Ci didn't answer the lieutenant general's words, but said these two words viciously.

The lieutenant general heard it: "Yes! It's Zhang Ni. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have lost so badly! General, this matter must not be let go! The general knows that Zhang Ni and his village are nearby, how about... ...!"

Before the deputy general finished speaking, Tai Shici glared at him: "Zhang Yi actually conspired with the people of Jingzhou to let me wait in the trap. If I don't avenge my revenge, how can I be worthy of those dead brothers! Lead the way!"

The general hurriedly said: "General, since this village has taken refuge in the people of Jingzhou, if there is still an ambush in the village, with only our few troops, I'm afraid..."

The lieutenant snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of? People from Jingzhou are all infantry, we are cavalry, no matter how powerful they are, how can they be our opponents! Don't worry, general, the last general is willing to be a forward!"

When Zhang Ni was dug out of the soil by Deng Ai, the clothes on his back had already stuck to his skin, and there was no skin on the place where the tree had crushed him.The whole person was ashen-faced, with only half of his hair left, as if he had been smoked, exuding the scent of human flesh.The pit Zhang Ni dug was relatively deep, and the few companions who came with Zhang Ni did not have such luck. Only one person remained, and the others were all burned to death in the soil.

Zhang Ni wanted to cry but had no tears. Looking at the body that had been burned to ashes, big tears dripped down the corners of his eyes onto the ground.He couldn't believe that he and Tai Shici were among his own, and Tai Shici didn't think about the old relationship and let these brothers burn to death.His father was also Hei Bing, so what he told himself before he died were all lies?Hei Bing is so ruthless, why should he be loyal to them!For the first time, Zhang Ni had doubts about Hei Bing.

Xian Yufu also sighed: "Zhang Yi! Originally, I was going to kill you, but now it seems unnecessary! You have already recognized the essence of people like Liu Bei, and you decide what to do in the future, because you took us in in the first place. Come on, I will spare your life, if you still follow Liu Bei when I see you next time, I will take your life!"

With a wave of Xian Yufu's hand, the soldiers put down the man who was still alive, and immediately gathered together and walked towards the outside of the forest.Zhang Ni has been lying on the side all the time, looking at the burnt corpses beyond recognition without blinking his eyes.My mind was in a mess and I didn't know what to do.He wants to take revenge, but who can he seek revenge from, Tai Shici?Liu Bei?Or black ice?I am just a small pavilion leader, and my brothers are only a few dozen, and there are hundreds of old and weak!Holding back this breath, I felt unwilling again.

"General, over there!" Deng Ai pointed to the east.A puff of black smoke was rising from behind the mountains to the east.

The brother behind Zhang Ni turned his head and looked, his mouth was opened wide: "Big Brother, Big Brother, that's our village!" He kept patting Zhang Ni while trying to get up.

Zhang Ni hurriedly turned around, and across a mountain ridge, a puff of black smoke was slowly rising.It had just rained, and the humidity in the air blocked the smell of smoke, and it just washed away the dust that had risen up, so it could be clearly seen from a long distance away.Regardless of the pain in his back, Zhang Ni grabbed his brother and climbed up the mountain.The mountain ridge was not high, and the bandaged wounds on the backs of the two of them had already burst, and blood flowed down the trouser legs to the ground, dripping a few drops every time they took a step.It extends from the foot of the mountain to the top of the ridge.

Xian Yufu and Deng Ai stood quietly on the mountain ridge.The black smoke was just below. In the small village, all the houses were set on fire, and thick black smoke emitted from the damp thatched cottages.Although the fire was not big, no one was seen coming out to put out the fire, and the weak flames swallowed up the entire village little by little.

"General, it's Tai Shici!" A messenger ran up from the foot of the mountain and clasped his fists at Xian Yufu: "Tai Shici led his remnant soldiers to slaughter the entire village and set everything on fire!"

"Where are our troops?" Xian Yufu asked, "Why didn't they stop?"

The messenger said: "We don't have many troops, we were ordered to come to Xishan Pass for reinforcements, who knows...!"

"This Tai Shici actually, actually killed us back to the carbine!" Deng Ai said this very neatly, and he was obviously angry.

Zhang Ni bit his lip with his teeth, and traces of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.The young man next to him was crying to death.Xian Yufu shook his head, he didn't know what to say, this was his own family business, not to mention the enemy's business.As the opposing party, he should be happy, but for some reason he just can't be happy.

Xian Yufu sighed: "For the sake of taking us in, tell the brothers to bury those people, so as not to leave dead bodies in the wilderness! Let's go, we still have tasks!"

"General Xianyu wait a moment!" Zhang Ni suddenly turned around and knelt in front of Xianyufu.

"What's the matter with you? If you want to do it yourself, I will never intervene!"

Zhang Ni respectfully kowtowed to Xian Yufu: "If the general thinks of me, Zhang Ni, I am willing to lead the way for the general, to kill Deyang, and hit Liu Bei's lair!"

Xian Yufu and Deng Ai looked at each other, and Deng Ai nodded slightly.There are many mountains in the middle of Shu, all kinds of mountains are intertwined, and the roads are complicated. Many places are excellent places for hiding soldiers and ambush.Based on the map provided by Yan Rou and the others, although the markings are very detailed, there are still some omissions. It would be great if someone from Yizhou led the way.But this Zhang Yi belonged to the other party, if this was a cruel trick, he would be in great danger.

"General, just accept us!" The man next to Zhang Ni also knelt down with Zhang Ni: "The whole village has been killed by them, we want revenge! Avenge the fathers and fellow villagers of the whole village!"

Deng Ai said: "General, these two people are also pitiful, I think I will accept them!"

Xian Yufu took a deep breath: "Forget it! You and I are predestined, but I can't be the master of this matter, so you just follow us and be a guide for us. When you return to Jingzhou, I will definitely report to the lord and see what the lord thinks." !"

"Thank you, General!" Zhang Ni and his brothers quickly kowtowed: "As long as we can get revenge, my brothers Zhang Yi and Zhang Yi will definitely be loyal to General Long!"

Tai Shici was blinded by hatred. When he rushed into the village, the people thought they were just passing soldiers, and they stood at the door of their houses and watched quietly.They didn't know where the defeated soldiers came from, and some young people even joked about it.It wasn't until the gleaming saber fell on his neck that he realized that this group of people came with bad intentions!

Tai Shici had planned it long ago, but the villagers never thought of it.Enclosed on both sides and blossomed in the middle, the entire village of hundreds of people was killed in an instant.No matter men, women, old or young, even those babies who are still in their infancy are not spared.

Tai Shici looked at the shoulder of the fleeing young man with a knife, the young man turned his head, half of his neck was already crooked, blood was dripping down his chest, the eyes were not panic, but resentment, the kind that makes people look at him for a lifetime Unforgettable resentment.Tai Shici shivered all over his body, only then did he realize that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly ordered to stop, but it was too late, the soldiers were as crazy as him, and in less than a cup of tea, the whole village lost a living thing , Even the chickens and ducks were not spared.As long as they were alive and active, their heads were beheaded.

The lieutenant was covered in blood: "General, don't have to pity them. None of these guys are good people. If they don't kill them all, they will definitely turn to Jingzhou people. They are all Shu people. If we deal with Jingzhou people internally, it will be a great disadvantage to us!"

A fire was already burning outside the village.Just as Tai Shici was about to open his mouth, the lieutenant general said again: "Since everyone is dead, it's burned to death, so you won't feel uncomfortable watching it!"

It's already like this, what else can Tai Shici say!The orders are issued by themselves, and the soldiers only execute them.But when I did it, I felt uneasy.Suddenly he remembered Zhuge Liang's words, the most taboo thing for a general is to be hesitant to change orders day and night.Now that something has happened, it's up to him to bear it.Tai Shici said nothing more, took the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head and headed towards the path outside the village.
