idyllic tranquility

From the moment they set off, they headed west and then north. Assuming that Beili Village was located in the Central Plains in the previous life, He Ning estimated that they were probably in Shanxi Province or the northern part of Shaanxi Province now.

Although Xiao Zhi had something to say first, he wanted to go to the nearest military camp, but after knowing the name of the general leader of the nearest military camp, he changed his mind to be on the safe side, and led a group of people to continue northward for almost a day on the mountain road, and found a A Du Bo surnamed Liu who was stationed alone outside the main camp.

Du Bo is not in the rank of officer and general, but a military position similar to a centurion, usually with hundreds of soldiers under his command.Although the strength of the general's troops is not the same as that of the general, but to deal with a gang of bandits with a population of more than a hundred, as long as the leadership is proper, it is completely sufficient.Moreover, there are few people and little movement, so it is not easy to disturb other bandit gangs or local military forces in the surrounding area.

He Ning guessed that factions must be involved in it. They appeared here because of a secret order, and they asked other factions for help, so they hit the guns themselves.But for Uncle Liu, He Ning still has doubts. Since he is on duty in this area, he should be very familiar with the situation here.

If he found something wrong, he should have reported it long ago.But in fact, their superior sent Xiao Zhi to understand the situation.Well, it is very likely that either this Uncle Liu did not discover the local anomaly, or he found it but could not spread the news. Of course, there is another situation, that is, Uncle Liu never thought of spreading the news. go out.

He Ning didn't know what kind of situation it was, because he didn't even enter the barracks at all.

When Xiao Zhi met Liu Dubo, he only brought three or two guards with him. The two discussed in the tent for a long time, and finally came up with a plan to suppress the bandits.To He Ning's surprise, this Uncle Liu just sent someone to pass a letter to his superior before he set off. Before the superior gave instructions, he brought more than 300 people to meet with the people brought by Xiao Zhi Then set off.

As the saying goes, officials in the capital are not as good as current ones. Even if Xiao Zhi's military rank is much higher than his, it is difficult for ordinary people to make the decision to act privately at the risk of offending their immediate superiors.But now Liu Dubo is able to dispatch troops without hesitation, it is very likely that Xiao Zhi's faction planted a hidden stake.

When the team of hundreds of people left the barracks, they let go of their speed and ran towards a mountain.

It was another month of dark and windy night, a group of more than 200 armed troops abandoned their galloping horses, took a short rest, took their wiped swords, and quietly disappeared into the forest.

"Follow me closely later, don't get too far away."

When it was time to kill the enemy, He Ning became a small burden in Xiao Zhi's eyes, it was fine if he couldn't help, and he had to take care of it.But, at most, it's just disgusting, the promise I made, I will take him back safely.Xiao Zhi would never make fun of this kind of promise about faith.Therefore, when it comes to real swords and guns, it is better to keep He Ning by his side.

After speaking, He Ning was stunned for a moment, but unconsciously followed Xiao Zhishou's arrangement and hid behind the tree in place.It was later discovered that the other soldiers had already found their own hiding spots.

swish swish

The man standing in the night with his bow and arrows opened the curtain of this killing.

To everyone's surprise, this man's arrows not only hit the target every time, but also passed through the throat again and again, avoiding the whistle from the person hit by the arrow.Such perfect archery is simply like the art of killing. While admiring the surrounding soldiers, it also enhances the morale of killing the enemy.

Amazement, admiration, envy, disbelief, and perhaps greed...

With such a sharpshooter, more than 200 people quietly opened up a road up the mountain, until they were close to the mountain stronghold, a bandit was alarmed, and the signal sent by the other party before his death also indicated that the real blood killing began up.

Most of the bandits were already asleep, and when they heard the whistle, they dressed in a panic, and it was too late to take the knife.The smarter ones didn't have to find the gang of Beimeng people to get good weapons, but took the guys that they usually use easily, went out to kill the soldiers, and grabbed a big knife is the best policy.But there are also some who were blinded by the whistle. Many of the bandits used to be farmers who had a natural sense of awe for officers and soldiers. When they woke up and went out to see well-equipped soldiers, they became depressed and lost their spirits. ability to resist.

But at this time, it's either you die or I die. The people in the circle soon become the souls of the dead under the knife, and the blood stimulates this group of cruel desperadoes.At the last moment of their lives, a strong desire to survive broke out, making them fight desperately, fighting trapped beasts, hoping to rush out a way to survive.

He Ning didn't know what it was like for others to see someone kill someone for the first time. Anyway, his first time was dedicated to the art of killing: in the dark night, there was no bloody sight, no screaming, only the sound from the wind. The smell of blood makes people tremble and tremble.

But at the top of the mountain, when the real killing was presented in the dim light of the fire, He Ning saw splashed blood, broken arms and stumps mixed with mud, murderous swords and swords, and hideous faces.The thick and viscous smell of blood in the air made He Ning gag.

However, in the real killing field, there was no time for him to vomit.Even if he was by Xiao Zhi's side, he couldn't completely stop the crazy enemies from all directions and their blood-stained sharp blades.

In particular, as a general, Xiao Zhi was already used to being the first to attack the enemy in battle, which made He Ning suffer. Not only did he have to suppress the nausea in his stomach, restrain the feeling of dizziness, but he also had to dodge with agility. The blade of the enemy's madness.

In the field of life and death, there is no room for delay. There are ferocious bandits who take advantage of your illness to kill you. He Ning was stabbed in the thigh when he failed to dodge in time. The sudden pain caused him to kneel down on one leg.Xiao Zhi in the front realized that He Ning had been hit and stopped rushing forward. He stayed by He Ning's side to beware of the surroundings, and gave He Ning time to check. Fortunately, the wound was not deep and no artery was cut.

He Ning dealt with it briefly, but thought a lot during the process.

Such a knife made He Ning hurt, but it also reminded him of his uncle He who had great expectations for him, his old lady He who loved him endlessly, his parents who silently cared about him, and He An who was always with him.This knife made him clearly realize that now is a contest between life and death, either you die or I die.Emotions such as fear, weakness, and intolerance will only lead him to death, and bring pain and despair to his relatives. Only by swinging the knife in his hand at the enemy and killing the enemy can he save his life and let himself go back alive !

Xiao Zhi asked He Ning for the sake of the bandits rushing forward: "How about it, can you stand up?"

He Ning didn't answer, but gave him the answer with his actions.

When he got used to the pain in his leg, hesitation was no longer in his eyes, and the knife in his hand was no longer just a barrier.It uses its sharpest blade to sink into the enemy's chest, cut the opponent's main artery, take away the enemy's blood, and take away the enemy's life.

When immersed in killing, people have no sense of time. Under the stimulation of adrenaline, it seems that even fatigue comes a long time late.

When He Ning and Xiao Zhi got rid of the crowd, they came to the middle ground, which was the "luxury" suite that Xiao Zhi saw during his investigation.There are not many people here, but there is a group of coats in the style of Beimeng herdsmen, each wearing a scimitar, staring at the approaching people with eyes that are colder than poisonous snakes.

He Ning had seen a few people like this in the crowd just now, and it took Xiao Zhi a lot of effort to get rid of them.But there was such a group of Beimen guarding in front of this house. It seemed that there was something important to them in the house, and this group of people would rather defend this place than go forward to kill the enemy.

Realizing that there might be something he wanted here, Xiao Zhi's bloodthirsty eyes showed a bit of excitement, without saying a word, he rushed up and started fighting with this group of Beimeng soldiers.

At this time, the battle situation has become more and more favorable to the soldiers who suppressed the bandits. After all, they are well-equipped and well-equipped, and they are still trained battlefield personnel. In addition, they caught the opponent by surprise at the beginning.Therefore, before Xiao Zhi and the group of northern men fought for too long, many soldiers who rushed out of the battle circle helped Xiao Zhi deal with the barbarians outside the house.

And Xiao Zhi didn't like to fight, he got away early and rushed into the house.He didn't believe that this group of people didn't run away so far because they believed that they could defeat the officers and soldiers, and it was very likely that it had something to do with the things hidden in this house.

When he and He Ning had just rushed into the house, Uncle Liu also got rid of the crowd and rushed in. As soon as the three of them entered, thick smoke came from behind the house, as if someone had set fire to the house.

The Beimeng people outside the house had the intention of retreating after seeing the smoke. They no longer planned to fight with the soldiers, but instead fought and retreated, rushing down the mountain.

Their weapons are scimitars that the soldiers in Xia Kingdom are not familiar with. Soldiers who are not used to it are very likely to be attacked, and they can't do anything to them for a while. This is how these Beimeng people can still rush out even if they are surrounded The confidence of a bloody road.

Xiao Da was worried about Xiao Zhi who entered the house, so he ordered one of his subordinates to order to strangle them all, and then also entered the house, but just after entering, he was sent out again.

"Xiao Da, call everyone over to put out the fire, and don't let any of the Beimeng people outside the house be spared!"

There are a few Beimeng people in the room who haven't had time to go out in the future. Judging by their attire, there is one person whose status is not low among this group of people, and his moves are also very fierce. Xiao Zhi and Liu Dubo are dealing with them.But He Ning was tapping in the house, looking for a place to hide things.

Although the windows in the room were all wide open, there was still smog. If the fire was not extinguished in time and important evidence was burned, it would be a waste of time.Therefore, with the current situation, Xiao Zhi and Liu Dubo entangled their forces to give He Ning time to search.

He Ning is a carpenter, he is very familiar with the sound of wood, and can see some tricks for some small organs, so it is perfect for him to find them.But the difficulty is that the most likely place to hide things is the place close to the fire, not only sparks are flying, but also the smoke is heavy.

He Ning had no choice but to wrap his mouth and nose with a damp cloth, pour water on his body as far as he could see, and search for the fire.

Just when He Ning felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by choking, he finally worked hard and let him find a small dark room. In addition to the gold, silver and jewelry belongings, there was also a small box. He Ning glanced at it and took the box He hurriedly left and went to Xiao Zhi's side.

At the same time, Xiao Zhi and the others also dealt with several Beimeng people in the house.

"Ahem, cough, let's go out quickly, I only took this small box, cough cough, it's the same to take the gold, silver and jewelry inside after the fire is extinguished." He Ning explained in a hoarse voice while running .

But as soon as the words fell to the ground, he saw a critical scene.

"Be careful! Get out of the way!"

At the same time, the sound of sharp blades cutting through the air and the sound of broken arrows flying through the air could be heard at the same time...
