son-in-law

Chapter 376
The flames roared, the shouts of killing rang out, and the scorching heat wave had been left behind, leaving exhaustion and severe pain all over the body.Burns, knife wounds, blood still dripping, taking away energy and blocking vision.It was still dark ahead, Zhu Wu staggered forward with the knife in his hand.

There was only one of the original double swords left now, and his hand was bleeding, trembling as he ran away.The most painful thing is not the wound caused by the knife and gun in the fight, but the burns on the head and back. After the blisters burst, the feedback is far worse than the pain of ordinary wounds.The pain initially condensed consciousness, but due to the long duration and physical exertion during the fight and escape, the spirit has already begun to be scattered.

The only thing that can support him is the realization that he is on the verge of life and death. At this time, as long as he falls down, even if his injuries cannot kill him, the officers and soldiers who catch up behind him will also take his life.

He himself didn't know how long he had been fleeing among the mountains, the sky was still dark, and if he had a better view, he could still see the flames on the other side of the mountain stream.It was also at this time that he could recall the previous battle a little bit.

Unlike the previous day when more than 200 people were able to break out of the siege in the face of [-] officers and soldiers, the sudden battle this time could no longer be said to be too much resistance or breakout.When Ning Yi led the officers and soldiers to rush out of the woods, the two sides engaged in the most intense fight in an instant. However, dozens of people in Liangshan had become wounded and exhausted, and the battle situation was already one-sided in a blink of an eye. Happening.

Zhu Wu and the others only saw the situation clearly for a moment, and knew that there was no reason to turn around to flee. However, when the soldiers rushed to encircle them, they still fell into a hard fight in a short while. "Little Yuchi" Sun Xin was like Lu Fang. Time was beheaded in front of them.

Before this, Zhu Wu never thought that such a thing might happen.

In front of an enemy who is good at calculating, every step must consider whether the opponent has a backup, this point he understands.When Lu Junyi and others broke through, he also thought about whether things would be deceitful.But when the other party called Lu Yuanwai's name, his doubts were slightly dispelled.Afterwards, all the running and cautious exploration were also to avoid the possibility of being caught up.But in the end, that figure still appeared in front of them at the darkest moment, and he couldn't figure out the reason for it.

It's been less than a day since the last battle where my brother was arrested, even if someone turned against him, it wouldn't be so fast.How could this be a layout for only half a day.

However, the appearance of the other party only really proved the gap between the two sides in terms of layout and operation.If the first accident was only due to the cautiousness of the other party, who accidentally discovered the plan here, this time it was completely based on the initiative to dig a hole and set up a situation. When he was still thinking about how to follow along, When he tried his best to save people, the other party directly turned against the customer and set up a poisonous plan to invite the king into the urn.

The drastic changes and the rapidity of things happened made them have to continue with the matter, and there was no room for deliberation.

There are also some things that Zhu Wu felt more clearly at this time.

He originally had the fluke mentality of accompanying him all the way, because the attitude of the government and even the green forest towards Liangshan has always been the same. More than 200 people killed half of them, and caught forty or fifty, which is already a big victory.Next, the people fleeing must be more vigilant, and if they want to catch them again, it will be half the effort.For most of the enemies, this feat is already commendable, and they will no longer focus on capturing or hunting down everyone.Although the other party is different from the government, but after all, there are status restrictions.A scholar who has a matrilineal status and is good at planning also gives people the feeling of being weak.

And when Ning Yi appeared in front of them again, he finally discovered that this person was completely different from the conservative government, and even different from most of the green forest tyrants.At the same time that he had won the great victory that everyone praised, what he was thinking in his heart was to kill everyone and leave no way out.It also made Zhu Wu suddenly realize the significance of that incident. He... and his side now have an enmity with each other.

Liang Shan has feuds with many people, and perhaps he has become numb after experiencing too much.But for ordinary people, this kind of hatred can be seen clearly in front of them.

There are more than 4 people in Liangshan. For the average person, 200 of them have already been defeated. What's the point of pursuing and killing the remaining [-] or [-] people? Only this person wants to kill all the enemies that appear in sight It's clean.Everything that might have been caused by the small enmity between Xi Junyu and the "Su family", which was just a trivial concept to them, at this moment, really followed that figure and pressed in front of them.

Xi Junyu may have really kicked the iron plate that shouldn't be kicked...

If I could realize this a little earlier, maybe everything would be much better.But now, everything can only be filled with life.At that time, Zhu Wu even tried to take the initiative to rush up, shouting loudly: "It's a one-on-one fight!" But what greeted him afterwards, apart from Ning Liheng's nodding and saying yes, were also arrows flying towards him with a wave of his hand. rain.

The encirclement on the mountain this time was roughly two to three hundred people. However, when they rushed up this time, even Zhu Wu and others did not have many chances to break through. They fought all the way, were divided by arrow rain, and surrounded by knives and guns .In the end, it was the rockets that shot over from the beginning that gave Zhu Wu a lucky chance.

These rockets caused a certain amount of damage to everyone in Liangshan, and during the ensuing fight, they also lit up the surrounding environment.On the contrary, the encircled officers and soldiers came from the darkness, making it difficult to quickly determine the direction to break out of the encirclement. More than half of the forty or fifty Liangshan people who were tired and injured were beheaded in the chaos in the blink of an eye.

Afterwards, the flame also began to spread, until the scale gradually increased, and finally caused the same trouble to both parties. This may be the only miscalculation of Ning Liheng.When Zhu Wu braved the raging fire and almost committed suicide to break out, he heard the other party shouting: "Who told you to shoot the rocket... catch those bastards!"

In the flames, everyone was divided. Zhu Wu could see Chen Da's figure being submerged by the officers and soldiers, while Lu Junyi and Yan Qing were surrounded on the other side, holding back dozens of people, and their bodies were already bloody. , still shouting in his mouth: "Run away!" However, when Zhu Wu took a last look, he saw someone stabbing Lu Junyi's chest with a knife.

Only Zhang Shun, who was also seriously injured, and one of his subordinates were still running away with him. They met after protruding from different directions to encircle him. Zhang Shun was very skilled in martial arts and found him. Helped move forward.

The hope that could have been seen, the great prospects, were completely annihilated this time...

Since he went to Mount Shaohua, he has never been injured like this again, and he has never experienced such failure and darkness.Just a few days ago, everything should be safe, and more days ago, he saw the young man Xi Junyu on Liangshan, saying that he was treated unfairly, that there were too many things like that, and he had never even experienced it before. heart.Some things, such as bad luck, are like unstoppable invisible threads, which appeared a few years ago, and smashed down at a certain unsuspecting time.

Consciousness is muddled, but the body still relies on instinct, trying to escape according to the best route.They walked out of the woods and climbed up the ridge. For the first time, the darkness faded before their eyes, and the distant sky appeared pale. The light in the air ahead slowly swirled along with the dust.The subordinate who followed Zhang Shun finally fell down bleeding, Zhang Shun dragged him up, and soon pushed the body off the cliff.

"We're going back..." Zhu Wu said weakly, Zhang Shun patted him on the shoulder, and he almost fell down.

"We're going back...back to Liangshan...tell them about this..."

The sun gradually came out, they walked on the ridge, they didn't know how many people survived, and they didn't know what happened ahead, until two days later, they met a dead man on the way back. Yanqing's...

This is something later.

The morning sun penetrates the gaps in the trees and shines down in the smoky forest that is still burning with a small fire. The combination of fog, dust and flames in the morning gives people a slightly sticky feeling. There are more blood and blood in the woods. Corpses, the battle is over, and the soldiers cleaning up the mess are counting the heads and making up for them.

Ning Yi and others walked through the edge of the field, left the woods, and went up a small slope: "How many people have left?"

"Four or five."

"That's almost it." Ning Yi nodded, "It is still necessary to ask various Lukas to help check the sea arrest documents. But they should be able to escape back. I believe in their ability, they can do it."

"There is only one question." Wen Renbuer came over, "That Zhu Wu is not simple, why not be him?"

"Sometimes, smart people do things better than stupid people." Ning Yi replied, then tilted his head, "Let's go, go back. I have to say thank you."

They walked through the forest, went down the mountain, and parked several carriages on the side of a rugged mountain road. Ning Yi got on one of them, and when the curtain was lifted, the light illuminated the figure in the carriage.It was Lu Junyi who was considered "dead" by Zhu Wu. He seemed to be lowering his head at first, but after seeing Ning Yi, he straightened his sitting posture and his eyes were not kind.

This was the first formal meeting or conversation between the two after Ning Yi threatened him in the cabin the day before.Ning Yi's eyes are kind, even a little too kind.

"I wronged you, you did a great job. Also...thank you." Ning Yi went over, took the initiative to shake his hand, and then patted the back of his hand, "Brother."

His attitude was sincere, not sarcasm, and the voice was not flattering, but it obviously startled Lu Junyi, probably because he had never seen such a seemingly unscrupulous behavior.Ning Yi then sat down on the side of the carriage, knocked on the wooden board next to it to let the driver in front of him set off: "Let's talk while walking, Mr. Lu, if you have any doubts in your heart, you can say it, and I will express my opinion here."

Lu Junyi looked at him for a moment, then straightened his back: "Okay, a certain person is also curious about something."

"Say."

"I just nodded and made a bet, and you can let me go on purpose. If I don't cooperate with you and just say what you said before is fart, what can you do to me!" He was the most strange at this moment Yes, but this matter, just after he nodded to Wen Ren Bu Er last night, Wen Ren Bu Er told him what he was going to do without any restrictions.

"Don't say that, I believe in the character of Lu Yuanwai." Ning Yi laughed, quite sincerely, but Lu Junyi looked at him, obviously he didn't believe it. After all, no one would believe this kind of thing .Ning Yi smiled for a while, then restrained himself and looked at the other party lightly.

"First, I believe that you are really forced to, and you can take a gamble if you have resentment in your heart. This is the truth. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have approached you at all. Second, if you come to our side, I can kick you." It's much easier to turn over Liangshan. If you don't plan to tear yourself apart with Liangshan, I'd rather you show your attitude today than to disrupt my plan behind my back when I really attacked Liangshan. This is also your vote from Yuanwai. What you do today has little effect on me, only your sudden defection when I was in my plan will have an impact on my future plans."

"Then you really don't mind if I lead people away today? Where do you have the confidence..."

"It's not a matter of self-confidence, some things must be done." Ning Yi looked at him with a smile, "Since I want to do it, the goal is to have 4 people in Liangshan. I am very important? If I kill today and kill tomorrow, they will all die. If you repent today and take them back to Liangshan, at least I know that you will never really help me. For me, it is definite news That’s actually good news.”

"Haha." Lu Junyi laughed, "It's not that simple, how many of us have you instigated? If I don't hand in this vote, will you be able to find everyone's hiding place? Who is your man? Chen Da? Zheng Tianshou? I don't really think it's Yanshun..."

"Hush." ​​Ning Yi raised his fingers up, "These are secrets... After all, it hurts to say these things. Outsiders, tell me what you want to hear. You died on Liangshan. This time, go north with the boat. It will be difficult to whitewash your identity right away, but you don’t have to worry, I will arrange for you to meet with Lord Qin and recommend you directly to him, and then maybe I will try your martial arts and military skills. You should seize this opportunity , everything will be worry-free, the lawsuit or something, when Liangshan is destroyed, we will fight for you. I am basically a person who holds grudges, but the grievances are clear. Since you are on our side, I will not hold you in my heart Bad luck. Of course, you will see this later, and the best thing is, we shouldn’t work together, so you don’t have to pay too much attention to me.”

To be able to meet the Right Prime Minister Qin Yuyuan in person, after all, it is too rare for Lu Junyi, an outsider who used to have status and influence in the Daming Mansion but has no status.Ning Yi threw it lightly at this time, and his face changed slightly.He is a capable person, as long as he can be appreciated in front of Qin Yuyuan, even if Ning Yi really wants to repent and tear up the agreement, of course he has to think twice.And before Liangshan is brought down, Ning Yi will naturally not kill him. Before that, the promise of seeing the right minister still has to be fulfilled.

He thought for a while at this moment, then suppressed his emotions, and said: "It's not necessarily that there is no grudge, if you really believe me, why do you let me pretend to be dead, it would be better if I go back to Liangshan." Although this is a rebuttal, But the meaning of tit for tat is very little after all, it's just like complaining.

Ning Yi shook his head: "That's not a grudge, but an ability. Members, to be honest, you are absolutely not suitable for being a spy. Little Brother Yi is the real genius. If you finish talking to him in a hurry on the battlefield, he will immediately If you can cooperate with you to be "killed" and yell like that, you are not as good as him in many aspects. Since he is your confidant, you can trust him in the future. Tell me, people need to realize their own abilities, you'd better think about what happened before. After you die, Brother Yi returns to Liangshan, and he will definitely be reused. It is much better for me to cooperate with him than to cooperate with you. Whether you admit it or not."

Lu Junyi himself is a very proud person. If it was in the past, he would have beaten Ning Yi up, but after all these things happened, it is naturally impossible for him to do anything to Ning Yi at this time, but his face is still disapproving.Ning Yi brushed off his sleeves and stood up.

"That's it, I'm leaving first. If you have anything to do in the future, you can tell me or someone you know. You are fine... welcome to cast aside the darkness and turn to the light."

Ning Yi knocked on the carriage, and when the carriage stopped, he opened the curtain and went down.Lu Junyi sat there, thinking about all the things that happened these days, and looking at the light seeping in from the car curtain. Among the many things he experienced before, he had never seen such a strange person acting like this...
