Chapter 375 Chapter [-]

After nightfall, little fireflies flew in the grass by the canal, cicadas chirping mixed with the sound of frogs, swaying in the breeze.Water waves, embankments, rice fields, dwarf trees, barracks set up by the pier and large ships docked, the flames stretching, nearby peddlers picked something to sell here, and have not yet returned. There was a fire in life, tables and chairs were set up, and some people in rich clothes were invited to sit and eat and drink. Occasionally, the bonfire spread and danced, and it was like a farmhouse experience for later generations to experience life.

The weather in summer is already hot, and most of the people entering and leaving the pier are taking pictures with fans. If they are dining on a big ship, they often can't stand the sweltering heat in the cabin, so they move the tables and chairs to the side of the ship.Only when the river wind blows in gusts and the weather is a little cooler, can there be cheers up and down.Most of the people came out to enjoy the cool air.Even the slightly or seriously injured Liangshan minions imprisoned on the side of the pier couldn't help but relax in their cages, showing a little vitality.

The series of changes from last night to this time has indeed brought a bit of chilling atmosphere to the entire fleet, but the overall impact is still limited.The previous battle at Hongze Lake was easily resolved, and everyone was overjoyed and applauded, but this time, although the previous night did bring a sense of threat to many dignitaries on board , but the subsequent encirclement and killing of everyone in Liangshan, and the arrest of more than forty people later, finally diluted a little tension again.

For the many "second generations" with backgrounds on the ship, this trip can already be regarded as a real and shocking dart experience. There are dangers, but no one was hurt. Now it seems that , the enemy is nothing more than a chicken and a dog.And they have experienced these things first-hand, and they will have more talk to share with others in the future.

Some things are conceivable. Once these big ships arrive in Bianliang, people will definitely talk about the two of them retreating from the bandits.The purpose of their going to Beijing was to visit, lobby, and win over during this birthday. This experience provided them with a good opportunity.

That's why, although I was still worried that there would still be thieves coming, even if they left the pier, they just walked around and ate something on the nearby ridges and embankments.Most of the people still abided by the rules a little bit, and only moved within the warning range, not causing more trouble to the accompanying army—of course, this was only for the extent of their troubles on weekdays.

In the bright lights on the main ship, people were talking about those Liangshan bandits who overestimated themselves, and they also talked about the gang of bandits who would have their legs broken and sunburned to death the next day.For most people, the matter was very exciting, but there were indeed a small number of people who thought it was too cruel, or began to point out whether Chen Jingui was qualified to carry out such an execution without going through the yamen trial and filing with the secretary.Among them, there are even a small number of people who tend to think that the people in Liangshan are indeed heroes who rob the rich and help the poor. Write down all your thoughts.

As the "rich" side, it is not unimaginable to sympathize with these heroes who robbed the rich.At this time, most of the people who went north with the boat were the second and third generations of wealthy and well-to-do families. They would have all kinds of romantic thoughts in their minds, and even yearn for the freedom of the green forest heroes, and hate the "rich and unkind" of their own family.There are also those who sympathize with the wounded in the cage after seeing the desolate scene. Most of them are women. hurt.

Among the 43 people arrested, there were 39 people in total. It can be said that the situation at this time is extremely miserable.Those with minor injuries were ignored, and those with serious injuries were treated only a little bit, and they were left there to fend for themselves. After a day of high temperature, the wounds began to deteriorate, and the flies came and went, which looked extremely terrifying.That's why, when Yuan Jin'er decided to go down to see the group of people who were arrested while enjoying the cool on the side of the boat after eating, Ning Yi still stopped her.

"Don't go, it's not good-looking, and you will feel sorry for them, but you will feel uncomfortable."

"I don't sympathize with those people." Jin'er, who was about to pull Yunzhu off the boat, raised her chin, and then said, "Do you sympathize with them?"

Ning Yi smiled on the ship's side: "It's all the fear of pushing oneself and others. Now think about it, it's nothing, but...their heads were broken, their hands were broken, their feet were broken, and their bones, blood, flesh, etc. were exposed. Outside, flies sting on it, they all cry and shout, kowtow on the ground and so on, you still think they are miserable. I went to see it, and I didn’t feel very comfortable.”

"Oh?" Jin'er looked at him for a long time, Yunzhu blinked, and seemed to be a little surprised, and Xiaochan on the side showed a look of sudden realization, "So my uncle will do the same", but after thinking about it, I think it should be like this.

"But...you still feel happy?"

"It's all a little bit." Ning Yi smiled while blowing the wind, leaning on the railing, "How can there be any completely heinous villains, people are like this, they suffer and beg for mercy, it will make you feel very pitiful, some people say they have no choice, even It will make you feel empathy. But after all, it depends on what they do. When they are strong and not caught, they enter other people's homes to burn, kill and loot. If they have enough time, they capture women...do those things After all, it is this group of people. I know you will not sympathize with them, but seeing those wounds will still make your stomach sick, this is instinct, why bother to ask for it. "

His eyes lingered on Yunzhu and the others for a while, but he didn't say what would happen if the other party caught the woman.In fact, on the day when the Su family was invaded, several incidents like this happened were suppressed by Ning Yi, and they were not announced to the public. They just hoped to give the surviving people a way to survive. However, during the time when they were preparing to go north At that time, one of Su Tan'er's cousins ​​still hanged herself.Xiao Chan knew about this matter, but Yun Zhu and Jin Er had never heard of it.

But after Ning Yi said these words, they gave up the idea of ​​watching the prisoners, but Yunzhu asked after a while: "I heard from them that these prisoners have been arrested. If they want to be sentenced to beheaded or something, The case is to be judged through the Yamen, and handed over to the Si Yamen for the record. If they are really going to be killed, General Chen and Li Heng, you will be blamed, right?"

Ning Yi shook his head instead: "That's what I said, but there are also special circumstances. This time when the birthday card went north, it happened to be in turmoil. I don't know how many people are staring at this batch of things. If you keep them in Beijing, It may cause Liangshan people to take risks and then take action against the birthday guide, and even bring the problem to Bianliang. This time, the Empress Dowager’s birthday is under great pressure from all parties. One more thing is worse than one less thing. If someone kills them, they will go back to Liangshan even if they hold vengeance Retaliation. These things can still be forgiven if you say that you will not accept military orders abroad."

After Ning Yi finished speaking, he looked at Yunzhu and smiled.In fact, Yunzhu was not really interested in this matter, but listened to other people's opinions and was worried, but Ning Yi said again: "Of course, if someone wants to criticize, there will still be troubles. But no matter what , we can no longer give the group of people who ran away from Liangshan the hope and idea of ​​saving others. For the birthday guide, for the sons on the boat, and for the safety of Bianliang on the birthday, it’s all like this.”

Jin'er thought for a while, and said, "Then you can't stop people from coming to save them..."

"I can because I'm faster than them."

"Then why don't you kill them tonight?"

"Hehe..." Ning Yi laughed, "You will know after tonight."

While talking, the wind blew over in bursts, it was a cool night.Everyone rested on the boat for a while, surrounded by accountants, stewards, and families of all sizes. When the children ran around, the atmosphere on the boat was rendered lively.Then the night deepened, and the atmosphere on the boat calmed down as the sweltering heat faded away. Ning Yi and others returned to the room, and the maids or wives and concubines brought cold water, washed up a little, and began to fall asleep.Different cabins also have different scenes, or whispering, or chatting with a smile, or quietly snuggling between men and women, so that the tranquility of getting along can dispel the irritability in the heart.

During this period of time, there were only a few figures hiding in the water plants by the river bed in the distance, watching everything gradually quiet down here, and talking with each other in whispers.

"...No matter what, it's impossible to take the liberty to do it with the strength of the few of us. That Ning Liheng must have made all kinds of preparations. We can only go all the way north to find... an opportunity to make plans... "

"Why don't you go all the way north, they are going to kill people tomorrow, if their legs are broken, so what if they are rescued, Brother Zhu, you can wait, I can't wait..."

"Brother Yan." Zhu Wu pressed Yan Qing's shoulder in front of him, "It won't work like this."

"Brother Yan is right, we can't wait any longer." Zhang Shun said.

"If you believe me, we can only wait." Compared to before, Zhu Wu's expression this time was somewhat determined, "They released such news to make us unable to wait, so we can only throw ourselves into the trap... We can only bet he doesn't dare to do that."

"How to bet?"

"No matter who it is, the death penalty has to be tried by the Yamen first, sent to the Golden Palace for review by the emperor, and then executed after the autumn. If anyone is executed without a report, they will be sent to two thousand miles. They dare not do this It's just a scary thing to say!"

His words made the other two stunned: "If..."

"And even if that Ning Liheng is a lunatic, this matter not only concerns him, but also Chen Jingui on the ship. If the matter is suppressed, a lot of people will have to carry it. They can't afford this kind of thing. Once Ning Liheng intervenes No matter how strong his relationship is, no one else will stand with him on this matter. If he can't make a decision with one word, people can't kill him. Brother Yan, if he really wants to kill someone, why don't he start today? , we have to wait until tomorrow, he is waiting for us to come and see, if you are impulsive, you will really fall into his hands!"

"...but...if he is really that kind of lunatic..."

"I can only gamble."

Everyone was silent for a moment, Zhang Shun said: "Brother Zhu is right, we can only gamble. Then what should we do next, Brother Zhu, tell us."

Zhu Wu looked at the pier over there and swallowed: "Keep an eye on them. There is no other way. They go north, so we go north. You are familiar with how many people are on board, Brother Yan. See if there are any loopholes you can take advantage of. These people have status and status. It is impossible for Ning Liheng to control them. These are opportunities. Look for Ning Liheng's weakness and see his way of doing things... We have no tricks now, we can only slowly find a way to break the situation I have thought about it, there are still three or five days to go all the way to Bianliang, we will follow, there are two places where we can do a test..."

He paused: "His identity is a big problem after all. No matter how many things he has done before, once he wants to let his subordinates do the hard work, there will always be people who are angry. They are in the light, and we are in the dark. This is our The only advantage. These days, he will make his subordinates strictly on guard, and be prepared in every way. We can only let the brothers back to Shandong expose our whereabouts as much as possible and tell them that we have left. Ning Liheng will not I believe it, but the people under him must have loopholes to take advantage of... People in the court are used to doing things so-so, I don't believe they can really fight with us all day long..."

Now that he is ready to play against Ning Yi, he has already thought about the pros and cons of each other in the past half a day, and has also calculated the possible ways to break the game.Even though it is not a very clear plan at this time, the organization is still clear.The three of them squatted here for a long time, and Zhu Wu had almost analyzed it. At this time, the night wind had picked up, and the surrounding fields were dark. Suddenly, a small detail on the boat caught Yan Qing's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Look .”

Among the three, Zhu Wu was good at making calculations and was well-organized, while Yan Qing had a delicate mind and the quickest response.What he saw was a tiny flash of fire on the hull of the ship.At this moment, they were far away, and the three of them couldn't see what was going on, they just gradually approached, and at a certain moment, they suddenly saw a black shadow jumping off the side of the ship.

The three of them were taken aback. No matter how they thought about it, they never expected such a scene to happen. After seeing several black shadows coming down one after another, they disappeared in the darkness again.Yan Qing already thought of escape from prison, so he was going to meet him, Zhu Wu held him down: "Wait, it's not impossible, but it's very strange, let's see and talk about it... Besides, Brother Yan, you can't do anything in the past... ..."

He was right.It was mainly because the latter sentence made sense that Yan Qing suppressed his emotions. However, after a while, a gong suddenly sounded on the boat, and someone shouted: "The prisoner has escaped! The prisoner has escaped!" It exploded suddenly.

At this time, many people have already escaped from the side of the pier. Obviously, the people who escaped from the big ship went to rescue the Liangshan brothers who were imprisoned in the cage next to them, but maybe they were discovered after saving half of their lives. They have already fought.There were no more than ten or 20 people running, and they didn't dare to fight. They pulled out the other end and fled, but were still shot and killed by arrows.

Zhang Shun and Yan Qing wanted to rescue them immediately, but Zhu Wu just wanted to hold them back to see the situation.In fact, he also knows in his heart that even if Ning Yi is good at planning, it doesn't mean that he can train a group of court soldiers into elites.No matter how good the strategy is, it is common for the subordinates to make mistakes.Then he heard someone yelling in the night: "Catch them! Get Lu Junyi away!" He suddenly felt relieved: "It's okay, let's go to meet them!" Even though he was astonished at such good luck, he had doubts. Already less.

While chasing, Zhang Shun asked in a low voice why he knew there was no problem now, Zhu Wudao: "Lu Yuanwai is our second in charge, since the imperial court knows his name, he must also know his position. As long as he is caught, he will It's a big credit for sure, no one wants to use outsiders as bait...just be more careful in the future, be careful."

What he said was right, Zhang Shun nodded and went all the way to catch up.In the night, the soldiers near the pier will chase out, chase and intercept.But among those who escaped was Lu Junyi, and the leaders were masters, even those minions were all elites.Several people were killed during this chase, but then Lu Junyi and the others rushed into the night, and Yan Qing and the others had already prepared a few horses in one place, and then rushed up to lead the escape.

The Xuzhou soldiers and horses that were mobilized during the encirclement and suppression of Liangshan people could not come at this time.There are more than [-] sailors on board, even though they have certain combat effectiveness, but after all, only one or two hundred can be allocated to hunt them down.When Lu Junyi and others rushed into the night and gradually opened up the distance, it was like a dragon returning to the sea, and it was no longer possible to sweep across with the advantage of thousands of troops.But this time, the generals under Chen Jingui also knew that if they failed to catch up, it would be a big mistake, and they almost bit their backs for two hours, before Lu Junyi, Yan Qing and others finally distanced themselves from them.

At this time, it was early morning, and everyone was still fleeing all the way. On the way, Zhu Wu asked what happened, and only then did he know that the reason they escaped this time was because of Jinmaohu Yanshun.Yanshun's martial arts are there, but they can't be regarded as outstanding in Liangshan.The people on the boat may have caught Lu Junyi and focused their attention on him, but they didn't know that Yanshun had some tricks when he was in the rivers and lakes. After being captured, he seized a small opportunity to secretly get half a thick The iron wire, and then gradually opened the lock, until late at night to find a chance to escape.Along the way, he rescued Chen Da and Zheng Tianshou, and later also rescued Lu Junyi. God bless Liangshan, and that's why the following scene happened.

The four of them are all masters, and they came out and knocked down more than ten people without attracting attention. They wanted to rescue all the captured brothers, but they were discovered later, and now it is the best result.After a few people talked about this, the morale of the team was greatly boosted, and they naturally kept their feet on the ground and fled quickly.

Although they survived the catastrophe and were happy in their hearts, they had already suffered a great loss from Ning Yi and did not dare to stay any longer.Along the way, pay special attention to whether there are any pursuers coming from behind.These people are veterans of the rivers and lakes. At this time, they were extremely careful. After nearly an hour, after a tortuous journey, they finally joined Lu Fang, Sun Xin, who had moved to another place, and dozens of surviving people.

This time they didn't dare to celebrate any more, and after reuniting, they quickly began to move again.After running for more than ten miles like this, there is a relatively lively place in the boundary of Xuzhou, and it is difficult to find a safe and hard-to-find place.It was expected that they were already a little far away, and after further investigation and precautions, they finally stopped. At this time, the people who had been fighting and fleeing for two days and suffered various injuries and tensed their nerves were already on the verge of physical decline.

They ran desperately along the way, overdrawn a lot, but the distance from the pier was already very far.At this time, it is the darkest time before dawn, and after a while, there may be cocks crowing and dogs barking in the distance, showing their belly white.The crowd found a hunter's lodge in the mountains with complicated terrain, and it was considered inaccessible.At this time, Lu Fang and the others, who had already rested in the afternoon, went out to watch. Zhu Wu and the others were finally able to take a breath, and started talking, laughing and celebrating.

Talking and bandaging the wounded were also in the dark, they did not dare to shine light, Yan Shun smiled and talked about the luck in the process of escaping, and also talked about Ning Liheng's embarrassment this time.

"I want to see how that guy looks now..."

"In short, this time I return to Liangshan, the next stop is Jiangning. I must avenge this revenge!"

"It's nothing to say, let's go together."

"Take him back to Liangshan, and I will personally cut his heart in front of the Juyi Hall, so as to comfort the spirits of all the brothers in heaven!"

"As I say..."

"what--"

Still talking, the screams suddenly tore through the night sky, and everyone suddenly turned up from the ground. Although the hut was built of grass and trees, the windows were open, and something flew up in the night sky and fell towards this side.

That is light.

The rockets streaked across the night sky, roared down, and scattered on the wooden houses, among the lawns, and fell into the gaps in the trees.

The sound of weapons clashing could be heard not far away.Lu Fang shouted over there: "Go! Go!"

The figure rushed out.

When the few people rushed out of the house, there was already a chaotic fight all around. Judging from the trees of the rocket, there might not be thousands of people, but they were already higher than the dozens of people in Liangshan, not to mention that everyone in Liangshan had already died. Become a disabled and tired soldier.

Lu Fang waved Fang Tian's painted halberd, and had already retreated quickly from the forest fighting over there, and then there was a loud bang, and blood burst out.Lu Fang's strength on Liangshan is no longer weak, but at this time his body was already injured, he was hit by two arrows in the dark, and he fought fiercely with others in a hasty manner, but following the loud noise, he let out a mournful cry, and the blood came back showed up.Immediately afterwards, the spear was swung on his body again, and he staggered back. He could only use Fang Tian's painted halberd to support his figure.

The figures of Ning Yi and others have strode out from the darkness over there.

From the beginning just now, the whole fighting scene erupted to the most intense level as soon as they came into contact. It was far less ironic than the clapping and applauding last time, but for everyone in Liangshan, it was almost overwhelming darkness.Ning Yi didn't seem to stop at all from the beginning, until he appeared in front of everyone at this time, he took back the firecracker in his hand, and kept moving forward, his face was as cold as ice, this time it was indeed a killing without leaving any room agree.

Lu Fang's stomach over there must have been smashed to pieces, but he roared, holding up his strength and going forward again, Ning Yi strode forward, waved his hands, and grabbed Fang Tian with one hand With the halberd drawn, the saber in the other hand slammed on Lu Fang's chest. With this slash, the bones exploded. Then he slashed Lu Fang's arm with the backhand, and blood spilled into the sky.Lu Fang's body was kicked back by Qi Xinhan who came after him.

"Yeah——" Zhu Wu was about to burst into tears, and pulled out the double knives behind his back with his backhand.

On the other side, Ning Yi was also talking, and the words came along with the night: "'Little Wenhou' Lu Fang! 'Little Yuchi' Sun Xin! 'Wangli Baitiao' Zhang Shun... actually didn't leave. He said nothing. If you die, you won't die, why don't you understand!"

He strode forward and reached out to grab Lu Fang's hair. In fact, Lu Fang just fell backwards with the last conditioned reflex. Although the blood was still spraying, he was probably dead. His body fell halfway, and he had already turned into a victim. Ning Yi dragged it with one hand, and then slashed backhand again, and with a puff, under the force of Po Liudao, he cut off his head.The man's head was thrown by Ning Yi like a cannonball, and hit the wall of the house next to everyone.Bang, fell to the ground.

"Lu Junyi, Yanqing's 'magic military strategist' Zhu Wu! What are you thinking? In the past half a month, I have made more than 200 plans and decisions for you bastards..."

A Liangshan elite rushed over, and then his chest was pierced by a spear.Ning Yi kicked the corpse out and approached him.

"...you are not even a hundred miles away from me, yet you actually think your lives are safe!?"
