Competing

Chapter 8

In the early morning of autumn, the red sun is thinly rising, and a thin layer of mist is shrouded in the field.Yin Xu got up in the woods outside the shed and started exercising.A set of fighting boxing techniques was used vigorously, startling a flock of birds.

That day in the "Gopher Cellar", he meditated and practiced Qigong. After digesting a strong violent energy, he was extremely tired and fell into a deep sleep.After sleeping for nearly two days, I even forgot to eat.If it wasn't for Pu Jun and the others who opened the wooden board in time to wake him up, he might have just fallen asleep and died.

However, if you maintain a posture for a long time, your muscles are extremely stiff.Thanks to Pu Jun and Lu Ming who are not afraid of dirt and smell, they massaged themselves for a long time before they recovered.In addition, Gao Yi consulted a doctor for medicine, venison and wild game to nourish his body every day, and he recovered in more than half a month, which was better than before.

After practicing for more than half an hour, Yin Xu didn't feel tired at all. Instead, he became more refreshed, and his whole body seemed to have inexhaustible strength.A punch hit the trunk with a thick bowl mouth, the bark splashed, and a large piece sunk in.

Oh?Yin Xu was very surprised, and immediately overjoyed.Since transforming and absorbing the violent energy in the "Gopher Cellar", Yin Xu feels that he has made a qualitative leap, and his martial arts has also advanced very quickly. It seems that it is a blessing in disguise!

"Good skill!"

Yin Xu turned his head and saw Gao Yi and Pu Jun coming hand in hand.Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he asked with a smile, "What? Are you here together now?"

"Donglai! There is something embarrassing!" Yin Xu used the name Donglai on the construction site.

Seeing Gao Yi frowning, Yin Xu couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Gao Yi sighed: "Master Taishou will celebrate his birthday in a while, and Mr. Jiang, who is in charge of Xiu Chidao, wants Ganoderma lucidum as a gift. Wuchang He suggested that you and Pu Jun are very good at it, and allocated 30 people to ask you to pick Ganoderma lucidum. "

"Picking Ganoderma lucidum?"

Yin Xu couldn't laugh or cry.

Pu Jundao: "This is obviously uneasy and well-intentioned. Ganoderma lucidum grows in the deep mountains, and it is hard to come by. How can you find it if you look for it? Isn't this embarrassing?"

"Can we quit this job?" Zhou Da, who came after him, asked angrily.

Gao Yi shook his head, and said: "No, Mr. Jiang Zi has already spoken, calling for you to go, within one month, and I will be responsible for this matter."

"So, we are all involved?" Yin Xu was thoughtful, feeling that something was wrong.

"Yeah! We also felt that something was wrong, so we came to you to discuss it." Since the last incident, Pu Jun and others have regarded Yin Xu as the boss, and follow the lead in everything.

Lu Mingdao: "It's strange to say that we never offended He Kun, why did he deliberately make things difficult for us?"

Everyone was thoughtful and puzzled, who knew what kind of nerve He Kun was?
Pu Jun said: "In this way, we have to be more careful. If we accidentally get him a trick, I'm afraid he will make use of it again. What's more, Mr. Jiang has already spoken about this matter. We must not go .”

Gao Yi said: "I will buy as much time and supplies as possible!"

Yin Xu nodded lightly. Even though he said that, he seemed to feel uneasy all the time, but he couldn't express it.He only hoped that the task could be successfully completed, so that He Kun could not find fault.If it really doesn't work, think of another way, he has already made the worst plan in his heart.

Early the next morning, Gao Yi took Yin Xu, Pu Jun, etc., and a total of 35 people went to the mountains around Kuaiji and Penglize to collect Ganoderma lucidum.Watching the team set off, He Kun stood in the dark and sneered to himself: "Last time you had a bad luck, what about this time?"

Ganoderma lucidum mostly grows next to the stumps of oak trees and other broad-leaved trees, and it likes to be born in places with high vegetation density, short sunlight, fertile topsoil, moist and loose.Yin Xu and others searched for it in the forest for two days, but there was no sign.

In the evening, all of them were tired and backaches, so they camped in the forest early to rest.Someone had already lit a bonfire and set up cooking utensils to cook food. Yin Xu leaned against a big tree, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious, so he got up and walked around.

Walking into the forest, I suddenly noticed a figure flashing behind the bushes, which would have been hard to spot if it wasn't for the vigilance of the soldiers.Yin Xu jumped up a few steps and followed, and saw a brother who was also looking for Ganoderma lucidum, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, took out a small dagger and made a fork on the big tree.Looking further away at a tree, there is the same mark.

Yin Xu's heart suddenly turned cold, and he suddenly realized where his anxiety came from.I have made the worst plan, if I can't find the Ganoderma lucidum and will be punished, I will flee to the deep mountains to become a bandit.In the same way, He Kun would also think the same way, as long as he concocts something casually and corrects his group of people for wanting to escape, he can lead people to kill him openly.

The Qin law stipulates that if the serving civilian prisoner escapes, the guarding soldiers can directly kill him. He Kun probably meant this.It's obviously not a coincidence that there are all the people who happen to be friends with me, it's probably He Kun's conspiracy.Isn't this pole marking the best proof?The answer naturally fell on him.

Yin Xu walked around quietly, and while the man was not paying attention, he suddenly strangled his throat from behind, and the other hand had already grabbed the small dagger.

"Say, who sent you? What do you want?"

The man struggled for a while, tried to look up, only to see Yin Xu's face, he was terrified.Tremblingly, he said, "Nothing? It's convenient for me to come out."

"It's better to tell the truth quickly, otherwise I'm willing to spend it, but this dagger is not." While speaking, the dagger has already gently scratched a layer of skin on the neck.

The man was shocked and begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "I said, I said, it's Wuchang He...they will come later..."

"How many people are here?"

"This little one doesn't know, just tell me to hide aside and pretend to be dead when the time comes!"

"Do you have a partner?"

"No... only the little one..."

"It's hard to pretend to be dead, don't pretend!" Yin Xu frowned, the dagger had already sliced ​​through the man's throat, dragging the man's body, and hurried back to discuss with Pu Jun and others.

"What? You said He Kun is going to hunt us down?" Zhou Da was very surprised.

Pu Jun and Gao Yi reacted quickly, and said: "So that's the case. I also said that he waited for us to return without success and punished us. I didn't expect him to be so bold and cruel."

"According to this person, He Kun will be back in a while!"

"Then what should we do? It's too late to escape!"

Yin Xu shook his head and said: "Now we need to think clearly, no matter whether we escape today or not, the crime of fugitive has been fulfilled, do you agree with this?"

"Not bad!"

"That's good! Since this person has left marks all the way, He Kun will definitely be able to find this place. We were framed by him. Should we ask him for something?"

"Yes!" In the eyes of everyone, Yin Xu is like a god, and he has long been regarded as the backbone.A trace of helplessness flashed across Gao Yi's face, and he nodded heavily.

……

"Here, go this way!" He Kun led twenty soldiers and chased after the marks all the way.

"He Jianjun, there is a fire ahead!"

"It's mid-afternoon, the forest is dimly lit, and the fire is very obvious"

"Oh? Okay, rush over! They are unarmed, kill them all!" A cold smile appeared on the corner of He Kun's mouth.Just as Yin Xu thought, when he learned that Mr. Jiang sent someone to look for Ganoderma lucidum, he recommended Yin Xu, Pu Jun and others.Among the entourage, someone was bribed to leave a mark secretly, and then led people to chase and kill these civilian husbands under the pretext of fleeing.

In his opinion, twenty well-trained soldiers could easily kill more than 30 unarmed civilians.

When I walked over, I found that there was a bonfire on the ground, but there was no one there.

"There are words on the tree!"

Under the shadow of the tree trunk, a few words were indistinctly engraved. He Kun went to look at it, and it was engraved with "Where He Kun gave the head!"

He Kun was shocked immediately, knowing that his plot had been seen through, he looked around vigilantly.Unexpectedly, there was a plop under his feet, and he fell into the trap of storing water.

"on fire!"

The moment he fell, he heard his subordinates shouting, and the fire appeared.He could only hear his subordinates wailing, should he be "lucky" that he had water to hide from?

In autumn, there is little rain and the trees are dry. Yin Xu and others coated the tree trunks with pine resin, and they will be recruited at a touch.None of He Kun's twenty subordinates survived.The fire lasted for more than two hours, and Yin Xu and others watched from a distance from the stream where they were hiding, showing resentment.

It wasn't until the nearby fire was extinguished that they approached, and Qin Jun had been completely burned into charred corpses.Only He Kun who fell into the trap escaped.

"Captain He, this hiding place is tailor-made for you, how is it? Is it comfortable? Do you have to thank me?"

Seeing Yin Xu leading the people to appear, He Kun's air of talent was swept away, he was trembling, and immediately fell silent.

"He Wuchang, the next person, I seem to have no grievances or enmities with you, why do you want to plot to harm me?" Yin Xu glared and asked, He Kui couldn't help but tremble, but remained silent.

"My patience has a limit!" Yin Xu moved his arm, and a bloodstain appeared on He Kui's neck.Passing the long sword forward, a line of blood flowed along the blade, dripping into the trap full of water.

Blood was flowing from the neck, and the chest was wet and bright red.He Kun resolutely said: "Anyway, it's a death, and I accidentally got tricked by you, I admit it!"

"Want to die, right? Then why didn't you commit suicide just now?" Yin Xu said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will let you not survive or die, it depends on whether you say it or not!" With a wink, Zhou Shi Like an eagle catching a chick, He Kun was brought out.

Yin Xu took out the small dagger and said, "Mr. He, is this dagger yours? It doesn't matter whether it's sharp or not? Do you want to try it on you? Which one should you choose? Is the middle good? Aren't you very manly?" ? If you can't be a man, will it be very painful?"

He Kun finally showed horror, and said: "It's okay to tell you, anyway, you are now wanted fugitives, and you will be hanged sooner or later. My cousin is the wife of Xiangxi Pavilion, give me a good time now!"

"Oh, that's how it is!" Yin Xu remembered that the person He Kun went to Xiangxi Town to arrest that day had stayed at Wu Zhong's house, but he never thought of such a relationship.It's just that this meeting is not important anymore. Sooner or later, he will return to Xiangxi Town to seek revenge for Ma Shi and Wu Youcai, so he must remember this account first.

Yin Xu glanced at He Kun contemptuously, and jokingly said, "Satisfy you!" The sharp dagger sliced ​​across the throat, and there was another corpse in the woods.

After killing He Kun, there is no way out. Now they can only hide in the mountains and become bandits.Yin Xu believes that they won't hide for too long, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, you should do it early, don't make me wait too long.
