Beauty Jianghu

Chapter 39 Dying Message

Yang Shucheng couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and sat on the threshold of the River Temple, looking at the river scene under the moon. At this time, it was already late at night, the full moon hung high, the ground was covered with snow and frost, and the trees were swaying in the wind. The Yellow River glows with golden light and flows turbulently towards the east.

At this time, I saw a ghost running towards the mountain in the distance at the foot of the mountain road. I saw that he was carrying two heads on his shoulders. It was very strange. Could it be some kind of mountain spirit?

Yang Shucheng hurriedly hid behind the door and stretched his head to look around. The two-headed ghost just ran towards the river temple. Yang Shucheng wanted to run out of the Heshen Temple, but he couldn't move.

I saw the two-headed ghost running towards me. It turned out to be an old man with gray hair and a boy on his back. Only his head was exposed. No wonder it looked like a two-headed monster from a distance.

I saw the old man carrying the boy on his back and running halfway up the mountain. He suddenly stopped and put down the boy. The boy was about eight or nine years old and quite handsome.

The old man took out something from his body, bent down and placed them one by one on the ground, about a dozen of them.

Yang Shucheng looked at it for a while, guessing that there might be something like a poisonous iron nail buried there. He thought that this old man was not a good person, and he regretted why he didn't escape earlier. If he ran away now, he might find him, and he was only worried about the old man. Will go into the temple.

The old man finally finished inserting the poison nails, straightened up, and breathed a long sigh of relief. Then he took the boy step by step and walked out of the temple door. He stood outside the door and looked at the bottom of the mountain.

Yang Shucheng knew that they were going to enter the River God Temple, so he hurriedly walked quietly behind the River God, climbed up the platform, hid behind the River God, and prayed to the River God to protect him.

After a while, the two people walked into the temple and saw that the temple was narrow. It was already late at night. They were tired from running around in the middle of the night. They only heard the old man say:

"Just sleep here and leave before dawn."

The boy said "Yeah", and the two of them stopped being polite and leaned against the wall. They were really tired, so they stopped talking and fell asleep.

The temple was quiet, and the wind was whistling in the pines outside the temple gate, as if it was raining heavily. Yang Shucheng hid behind the River God. He didn't dare to vent his anger loudly, and he stayed close to the River God's back, not even daring to move.

After a long time, a small insect crawled into the temple door and chirped non-stop. Time passes slowly.

After about a stick of incense, he suddenly heard two cries of "Ah..." and "Ah..." at the foot of the mountain road. He thought someone had been poisoned by a poisonous nail. After hearing this, Yang Shucheng didn't dare to jump.

The old man suddenly shouted: "Song Chao..."

No answer.

"Song Chao, are you asleep?"

Shaking Song Chao with his hand, Song Chao woke up vaguely and said vaguely: "Uncle Jiang, what's wrong?"

Jiang Bo said: "Song Chao, our fate is over."

Song Chao didn't answer, but looked at Uncle Jiang in confusion.

Jiang Bo said: "The enemy has caught up with me. I have run out of gas and I can't keep you from escaping. Whether you can escape now depends on your luck." He pushed Song Chao with his hand and shouted : "Run, run."

Song Chao just stood still, and Uncle Jiang just pushed him: "Run quickly."

"I want to run!" Suddenly a figure flashed out of the door, holding a bright steel knife and said: "No one can escape from my knife, you two will die here tonight."

Uncle Jiang stood up straight, took out two daggers from his body, snorted coldly, and said, "It's not certain who died here."

The man said: "Well, you Jiang Chang, you are still stubborn even before you die."

Jiang Chang knew that he was going to be doomed tonight and that no more words would be of any use, so he stabbed the person with a dagger in both hands, and the person started killing him in the temple with a steel knife in his hand. Both sides went back and forth, killing each other like a whirlwind for seven or eight rounds.

Although the man who came was armed with a steel knife, slashing and killing randomly, Jiang Chang was holding two short daggers, which were weatherproof.

It turns out that this Jiang Chang has a nickname, "Iron Mantis", which means that his two daggers are so powerful that he can block you with swords, guns, swords and halberds, just like two iron mantis arms.

The two of them were good at killing each other, and soon they fought for more than twenty rounds, with no outcome in sight.

At this time, two more figures appeared outside the door and shouted: "You Jiang Chang, you actually poisoned me."

The "Iron Mantis" Jiang Chang was in a life-or-death situation and could not answer. When the two men saw this, they knew there was an opportunity and hurriedly took advantage of their fight to assassinate the boy Song Chao.

When Jiang Chang saw someone coming to assassinate Song Chao, he hurriedly waved his sword and rushed to save Song Chao. The steel sword came right after.

Jiang Chang had no choice but to turn around and block the steel sword, but saw that the sword head of the attacker was not far away from Song Chao.

Seeing this, Jiang Chang thought: "That's it, that's it." He quickly went to stab the man. The steel knife from behind then struck with a strike, and was about to split Jiang Chang in half. Jiang Chang had already made up his mind, and just tilted his head, letting the steel knife hit his shoulder.

The man who assassinated Song Chao would not have thought that Jiang Chang would sacrifice his life to save the boy. Jiang Chang stabbed him in the back with a dagger from behind and fell to the ground.

The remaining two people saw it and flew towards Jiang Chang. Seeing that the boy was fine, Jiang Chang turned around and shouted: "You people from Dongchang, I will fight with you." He rushed over and fought with the two men.

Seeing that the old man was about to die, the two of them were desperate and wanted to die together. How could they agree? They were already discouraged. Jiang Chang was hit by a sword one after another, and the blood on his body spurted out like spring water.

Jiang Chang didn't care about this. When the steel knife was inserted into his body, before he could pull it out, he ran forward instead, inserting the steel knife deeper. When the opponent could not pull it out, the two daggers were inserted into the opponent's chest. The opponent fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the man holding the sword hurriedly raised his sword and pierced Jiang Chang's heart from behind. Jiang Chang fell to the ground with a muffled groan.

The man with the sword killed Jiang Chang. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and stabbed the boy Song Chao. Song Chao was afraid and ran behind the throne. The man chased him forward and stabbed Song Chao in the back with his sword.

Yang Shucheng was hiding behind the River God and knew that these people were from Dongchang. Dongchang was manipulated by the eunuch Cao Fengying to kill Zhongliang. They were already notorious. Everyone in the world knew that they were bad guys. Now they saw this man stabbing this innocent man from behind. boy.

Yang Shucheng immediately became angry, quietly jumped down from the throne, and stabbed the man in the neck with a sword from behind. The man turned his face away, glanced at Yang Shucheng, and fell to the ground.

Yang Shucheng jumped to the ground and said to Song Chao, who had frightened eyes: "Don't be afraid, I won't kill you after I know you are loyal and good."

Walking to the front, the "Iron Mantis" Jiang Chang was not dead yet. At this time, he reluctantly raised his head and saw that Yang Shucheng had killed the people in Dongchang. He knew that he would not harm Song Chao. He was not going to die soon. He appeared in front of him. Only this Yang Shucheng can be entrusted with the funeral.

Jiang Chang was covered in blood and gasping for breath said to Yang Shucheng: "Young hero, I leave Song Chao to you."

Yang Shucheng walked to Jiang Chang and knelt down to take a look. The blood on Jiang Chang's body was still gurgling out. Yang Shucheng tore off his cloth sleeves to tie his wounds.

Jiang Chang said: "It's useless, just listen to me."

Yang Shucheng knew that he had something to say before his death, so he stopped and listened to him.

Then Jiang Chang said: "Song Chao, come here." When Song Chao walked up to him, Jiang Chang said: "I can no longer protect you from escaping. Now it is up to this young hero to protect you."

Song Chao cried: "Uncle Jiang, you don't want to die."

Jiang Chang said: "I can't do it anymore." He turned to look at Yang Shucheng and said: "His father fought against the Jin outside the pass and won several battles in a row. He was so powerful outside the pass that the gold master fled elsewhere."

After Jiang Chang said these words, he vomited out a large mouthful of blood and said with difficulty: "I didn't expect the benefactor to lead the army to attack this time. His father was prepared to live or die with the city. Who knows that the great eunuch Cao Fengying was jealous of the virtuous and capable, and ordered his people to embezzle money?" The army rations were so low that the soldiers mutinied and were attacked by the benefactors, and the city was lost..."

Jiang Chang vomited a few mouthfuls of blood and found it very difficult to speak. Yang Shucheng held his head and said, "Take a rest."

Jiang Chang grabbed Yang Shucheng tightly with his right hand and sprayed a large mouthful of blood on his chest. He still had many words to explain, but he had no energy left, so he fell back and passed out.
