Kaifeng Monster

Chapter 66
Duanmucui talked to Ami for a while, asked about Zhan Zhao, and then entered the army tent.

When the two soldiers guarding Zhan Zhao saw the general coming in, one held Zhan Zhao's shoulder, and the other kicked Zhan Zhao's leg.Duanmucui waved his hand, indicating that he doesn't need to be forced to kneel down, and waved again, the two of them understood, bowed and withdrew.

Duanmucui walked up to Zhan Zhao, looked him up and down, said nothing, and was about to go around him and sit down, when suddenly he let out a snort, and looked behind Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao had been stabbed in the back, and the doctor in the army applied the medicine and wrapped it up in the morning, after the two soldiers tied him like wolves and tigers, the blood flowed out again.A trace of unbearableness flashed across Duanmu's green eyes, he pondered for a moment, took out the dagger from his waist pocket, and went forward to untie Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, subconsciously dodged it, and blurted out: "The general just blamed Miss Ami for loosening my shackles, now that I'm unshackled, aren't you afraid of accidents?"

Duanmu Cuixiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled sweetly: "What are you afraid of? I've just asked, are you from the Dongyi Zhan tribe? Speaking of which, Xiqi sent troops so smoothly, but it was thanks to Dongyi who sent troops first to delay Shang. The army of Zhou. Otherwise, the army of Shang Zhou will turn back and attack, and our Xiqi army will really suffer. A few days ago, the Zhan tribe sent a message to the prime minister. Are the elders all right? King Wu ordered them to stay in Qishan Wait, you are from the Zhan tribe, why did you come to Anyi?"

As she said this, she lowered her head to loosen Zhan Zhao's ties, the dagger slowly slashed at the knot in the rope, and Zhan Zhao's laughter suddenly came from her ear.Duanmucui's heart trembled, she immediately stopped her movements, looked up at Zhan Zhao and said, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhan Zhao said with a smile: "I laughed at the general who said it sounded like a ghost, as if Dongyi really had a Zhan tribe. The so-called elders and messages to the prime minister must have been made up by the general himself. If there is a ghost in my heart, Answer yes according to the general's words, and the general can immediately guess that I am lying, right?"

After listening to him quietly, Duanmucui gradually revealed a smile on his face, and slowly inserted the dagger back into the sheath of Yutun's mouth: "You are really smart, and you have seen through the tricks you tried to trick you. From this point of view, you It's not an ordinary person, I don't think I can guard against you."

Zhan Zhao smiled wryly: "I never had any malice towards the general, it's just that I couldn't prove myself."

Duanmucui sneered: "Of course you have no way of proving yourself. Your origin is unknown, and you are not clear about your involvement with Qimu's family. Even Yudu's death is inseparable from you. You never meant anything malicious? Don't you think it's funny to say that?"

"Show a certain sentence of the truth, with a clear conscience, I don't think it's half funny."

Zhan Zhao spoke sincerely, and for a moment, Duanmucui felt that he couldn't help but believe it, but then he thought about it, and thought: Such a person is skilled in telling nonsense, and the false ones It's truer than the truth, you can't believe him easily.

Zhan Zhao saw that her expression was cloudy and uncertain, so he knew that Duanmucui did not trust him completely, and he was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.A thought suddenly popped up: I have a close relationship with Duanmu, so why bother to hide my arrogance with her here, just ask her if she still remembers the events of Kaifeng, if she does, it must be Duanmu for sure.But... If you really remember, how can you treat me as an enemy?If I don't remember, can I assume that she is not Duanmucui?

For a moment, he was in a state of confusion, and in a trance, Duanmucui suddenly asked: "Is this your saber?"

When Zhan Zhao looked up, he recognized that Duanmucui was holding a giant que, nodded and said, "Yes."

Duanmucui took out the sword to look carefully, and slowly rubbed her fingertips on the cold blade, paused, then said: "It is indeed a good sword, does your sword have a title?"

Asking this, she also felt a little nervous.

"It's called Juque."

Duanmucui's hand holding the sword trembled almost imperceptibly, and immediately clenched the hilt of the sword, looking at Zhan Zhao aggressively: "Zhan Zhao, has your sword ever been broken?"

Zhan Zhao suddenly raised his head, his face turned pale: "How do you know?"

"That's it?" Duanmucui gritted his teeth, "Who reforged the sword for you?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Duanmucui, and the word "you" was about to blurt out immediately.

After a while, he turned his eyes back, let out a light breath, and said calmly: "There is no wind without waves, the general suddenly asked about this sword, whether it was broken, and the person who made it. It’s not that you don’t know who made the sword, but you don’t want to believe that it was made by that person, so you keep asking me, right?”

Duanmucui was defeated by Zhan Zhao and was unable to refute for a while, his lips were hesitant, and he suddenly felt wronged: "Zhan Zhao, I have never seen you before, so why should everyone say that I forged your sword?" ?”

After finishing speaking, she slammed the sword on the ground, her eyes turned red, and she turned her back—she didn't know if it was right for her to lose her composure in front of Zhan Zhao.

"Not you."

Duanmucui was shocked, and looked up at Zhan Zhao.

Facing Shang Zhanzhao's gentle and slightly smiling eyes: "The person who helped me forge the sword does look like the general, but..."

Having said that, he shook his head slightly: "No."

Duanmucui's heart relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face: "Really?"

At this moment, she has nothing to worry about, and she smiles extremely charmingly, which is no different from Duanmucui who was outside Shen Yuan in the past.Zhan Zhao's warm heart faded away, and he answered Duan Mucui's inquiring gaze very seriously: "Indeed not."

Duanmucui let out a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

When I looked at Zhan Zhao again, I suddenly felt that this person's words were gentle and his actions were extremely polite, and I didn't realize that there was a bit of intimacy.

After thinking about it, I became curious again: "Just now you said that the sword maker looks very similar to me, is that a girl's house? Is it really similar? How similar? What's her name?"

Zhan Zhao was at a loss for words for a while, but Duanmu Cui's eyes were bright, and he was determined not to give up without asking the truth, so Zhan Zhao had to bite the bullet and make up: "The outline is indeed very similar to the general, but if you look closely, you will know Not alone. Her name is..."

what is it call?This stumped Zhan Zhao, he was not good at naming people, and he could make up one casually, but he really didn't want to name Duanmu Cui'an something like Spring Flower, Autumn Moon, Peony.

After hesitating for a while, he said: "That girl has a weird temper, and she never revealed her name to me."

In the age of conferring gods, weird people and strange things must have appeared endlessly, so Duanmucui could accept Zhan Zhao's explanation, and asked after a pause, "Look at your outfit, you don't look like a local, what are you doing in Anyi? "

Even she didn't realize it, her tone was much softer than before.

Zhan Zhao's heart is like a mirror: unless he explains his background clearly, no matter how many questions he asks, Duanmucui will not be able to completely dispel his doubts about him.

The problem is that……

He wanted to explain, could Duanmucui believe it?

It is rare for the two of them to establish a preliminary dialogue relationship. It is not as tense as before. Zhan Zhao did not want to take the risk of making such an attempt. I have nothing to do with Xiqi or Chaoge, and I have nothing to do with Dongyi or the Zhan tribe. Zhan Zhao has been learning martial arts since he was a child. His family teacher is a hermit, so he has to travel around the mountains and rivers, May the name be known to all nations. The Juque sword was originally a gift from my family teacher, but it was broken for some reason not long ago. Later, by chance, I met the woman who looked like a general to forge the sword for me. When the woman left, she said that the golden virtue had declined. Huo De will be prosperous, I hope I can do something in this chaotic world. I am also moved by what the woman said. After telling the master, I went out to travel. I just came to Anyi a few days ago and got acquainted with the Qimu family. In the past few days, so many changes have occurred during this period, I really did not expect it."

These remarks are reasonable and consistent with the general trend at the end of the Shang Dynasty. At that time, it was widely rumored that Shang belonged to gold, Zhou was fire, and replacing gold with fire was the general trend of the world. Therefore, many reclusive masters were born to persuade capable people and strange people to change dynasties. At that time, he had built a lot of achievements, and a situation like Zhan Zhao's was really normal.

When he said this, Duanmucui probably believed it in his heart. After thinking about it, he said: "In this case, you have only been in Anyi for two or three days. You will tell us about your acquaintance with Qimu's family and the past two days. Tell me what happened in detail."

Zhan Zhao made up his mind a bit, so he recounted the previous events one by one. He was open-minded and did not shy away from taking responsibility. He did not shy away from mentioning that he had helped Qimu's family subdue Ge Yiren, and he did not shy away from admitting that he had met Ge Yiren in the middle of the night. The soldiers of the Xiqi Army fought against each other.

Duanmu Cui's complexion was uncertain, when he heard about Ge Yiren, he felt angry: Although you didn't kill these guards in Duanmu Camp, if you didn't intervene, they wouldn't have lost their lives in vain.

When it came to the fight in the middle of the night, after hearing Zhan Zhao's words that "it didn't hurt his life, he just took off the man's arm", Duanmucui immediately concluded that the man must be Yudu.She had carefully searched Yu Du's body. Apart from the fact that the head was missing, the detachment of the arm was also a major injury. Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao did it again.

Annoyed for a while, she wiped out all the slight affection for Zhan Zhaogang, but she could tell which was more important, she pondered for a while, and said calmly: "Zhan Zhao Zhao, if what you said is true, you are indeed not the one who killed Yudu. If you can find out the real culprit, I might consider letting the past go and let you live."

Zhan Zhao smiled faintly: "What's so difficult about this? When I fought Vice President Yu, there were only a few people present. If the general can open the door and allow Zhan Zhao to go to Gao Bojian's camp for questioning, Zhan Zhao will definitely not let him go. General disappointed."

Duanmu Cui smiled sweetly: "That's exactly what I mean, it's just..."

"It's just that the general can't trust Zhan, afraid that Zhan Zhao will take the opportunity to escape?"

"Yes, you are so good at martial arts. If I loosen your restraint, there are not many people in the small Anyi City who can be your opponent."

"The general said so, but his expression is so calm, he must have a countermeasure."

Duanmucui smiled slightly, took off the lid of the copper pot on the table, and in front of Zhan Zhao, took out a green pill from her waist pocket, and put it into the pot.In an instant, there was the sound of water sizzling, and a puff of pungent white air came out from the mouth of the pot.

Zhan Zhao looked calm and didn't say a word.Duanmucui approached Zhan Zhao, his sleeves trembled slightly, the dagger slipped into his palm again, his fingers tightened slightly, and he had already cut off the knot of the binding rope.

Zhan Zhao loosened his body, but before shaking off all the broken cables, Duanmucui's dagger had already reached his heart.

Zhan Zhao laughed: "Is the general afraid that I won't drink?"

Duanmucui also smiled: "It's good to know."

Zhan Zhao's face remained normal, and he stretched out his hand to slowly pick up the jug: "The general mentioned earlier that he wanted me to find the real culprit who killed Yudu, and I don't think he would kill me so soon. I just want to know. Jug of wine, how many days do I have to live?"

"You won't die until sunset tomorrow."

"And after sunset?"

Duanmucui sneered: "That depends on whether I am willing to give you the antidote."

Zhan Zhao smiled: "Alright."

Before she finished speaking, her eyes turned cold, her fingers probed like lightning, Duanmucui was caught off guard, she felt a numbness in her waist, and fell backwards.Zhan Zhao stretched his long arms forward, wrapping around Duanmucui's waist.In just a moment, Duanmucui's reaction was extremely quick, his wrist turned sharply, the dagger was already pressing Zhan Zhao's throat, almost at the same time, the mouth of the pot in Zhan Zhao's hand was also pressed to Duanmucui's lips.

"Zhan Zhao," Duanmucui laughed back angrily, adding some strength to his hand, "If you act rashly, I will cut your throat."

"Really?" With a faint smile on Zhan Zhao's lips, he said meaningfully, "To each other."

"That's not necessarily the case." Duanmu Cuiyin looked complacent, "Drinking this wine, I still have a chance to recover, but if I send my hand a little forward like this..."

Zhan Zhao only felt that the cold sharp edge of the dagger had pierced through the heavy clothes, but his expression was still calm: "Really?"

While talking, he suddenly let go!
Duanmucui was caught off guard, she stood upright with the support on her waist, she couldn't help herself, and fell backwards.

Zhan Zhao...he actually threw Duanmucui away!

Since ancient times, we have only seen the hero who supported the beauty with Lianxiangxiyu, but Zhan Weiwei who threw people away so calmly, and threw them so neatly, without messing around at all.

Duanmucui didn't expect that the shock was fully revealed, but he is worthy of being a warrior.Just before she was about to fall to the ground—according to my careful observation, the angle of inclination to the ground is definitely less than fifteen degrees—a silver light and shadow shot out from her waist, the piercing lotus was like a broken bamboo, and the gun head was quickly embraced. Tent pillars.Duanmucui jumped up with strength, and turned around in mid-air, her black hair was like a waterfall, and the chain traveled in an arc of light, almost like a flash, the tip of the gun spun straight, like a silver ring snake, aimed straight at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao knew the power of the piercing lotus flower, so he didn't dare to push it too far, he watched the spear head coming, lowered his knees, and leaned back.The chain gun was held by the wind, and it passed by no more than an inch of his face, which made his face ache, and he barely escaped this move.The links of the chain made a crisp sound, the body of the chain was as flexible as the body of a snake, the tip of the spear turned over again, Zhan Zhao turned over like a kite, reached out his arms to pick up the huge que, and without thinking, threw the copper pot in his hand.

Hearing the short clanging sound, the piercing-heart lotus flower is so powerful that it actually pierces the copper pot through the body.The copper pot is strung on top of the gun head, it seems that there is a copper ball on the gun head.

Duanmucui was furious, she exerted force on her wrist, the force penetrated through the chain, and knocked the copper pot away.After only a moment's delay, Zhan Zhao's lips raised slightly, his body rose up, like a crane startled by piercing clouds, and flew out of the tent.

Duanmucui was a step behind, when she got out of the tent, Zhan Zhao had already jumped onto the roof of the tent, using his strength, he went very fast.The incident happened so suddenly, the guards outside the tent were a little at a loss, Duanmucui was about to bite his silver teeth, seeing that Zhan Zhao's figure was still within sight despite his castration, his heart became ruthless, and he shouted: "Bring the bow! "

If there is a bow at hand, Duanmucui is seventy to eighty percent sure to stop Zhan Zhao.

It's just that the guards outside the tent are all infantry armed with halberds. If they want halberds or knives, they have a lot of them, but they can't get bows and arrows immediately.By the time the soldier who had led the order ran back with a bow in one hand and a quiver in the other, Zhan Zhao had long since disappeared.

"General... general, bow!"

If the guard knew more about Duanmucui and retreated quietly, maybe everything would be fine.One must know that Duanmucui was in a fit of anger at this time, whoever bumped into who would be unlucky, he was still so puzzled, and said: "Bow."

Duanmucui turned his head slowly, so slow that his heart skipped a beat.

"Won't you run faster?"

hurry up……

It's a pity that this military guard seldom talks directly with the higher-ups, and his mind is a bit confused. In a daze, he even defended himself: "This subordinate has... tried his best..."

"Trying all your strength to run so slowly, if you actually go out and kill the enemy, can you be counted?" Duanmucui said with a blank expression.

"No, I can't." Xiaobingwei finally realized that he can't fight against the leader. You have to agree with what the leader says.

"Since this is the case, why are you still standing there?" Duanmucui pointed out to him, "Run around this camp."

"Your subordinate, General Xie... call me." Xiaobingwei wanted to cry but had no tears. He put his bow on his shoulder with one hand and his quiver tightly with the other.

This time he was more thoughtful and didn't ask Duanmucui how many laps he wanted to run, he was afraid that Duanmucui would reply slowly: "Whether it is one thousand or eight hundred, you can decide for yourself."

The guards standing closer couldn't help laughing, and some of them lacked concentration and laughed out loud.

But they stopped laughing soon, because Duanmucui was looking at them with a calm tone, but there was something in the words: "It's funny, isn't it? You can run faster than him?"

"No, no comparison."

"Then what are you still standing for?"

The next moment, the impact of armor gold pieces sounded one after another, and several people joined the running and fitness team.

Duanmucui glanced left and right.

Very well, the rest of the guards stood upright, watching their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, not daring to distract themselves.

The world is quiet.

At dinner time, Ami came to serve Duanmucui for dinner.During the day, she also heard a little wind, but the guards present were silent one by one, especially those who ran like they were fished out of the water, and they didn't reveal their words when they asked them.

There was no other way, so he had to be careful, and knocked around Duanmucui's side.
