Although Zhou Fei, under the guidance of Xie Yun, verbally understood the pitiful scheming of these dignitaries, but when she saw it with her own eyes, the urge to draw a knife and slash people still surged in her heart.
The town looked peaceful from a distance, but when I got closer, I realized that all the households were closed and people were panicking. There were only three or five rows of soldiers from the Northern Dynasty left on the empty streets. Occasionally, shocking bloodstains and debris passed by.
This scene is all too familiar to Zhou Fei—because "outside" is like that.
When she was a child, Zhou Yitang once read to her "Mourning the People's Lives are So Difficult"... But they all played the qin to the cow. Zhou Fei and the three brothers and sisters were all sleepy, so she never understood that the scholars "made their lives for the people". feelings.
But she used to like the little world under the mountain so much.
The first time she left the mountain gate of 48 villages full of curiosity, it was the liveliness and beauty of the town below the mountain, which gave her a surprise meeting ceremony and a permanent sense of belonging.
She went all the way to the north, going through hardships and dangers. Seeing the disturbance of life and people, the muddy water on her feet and countless chickens and dogs, her hometown like Taoyuan became more and more rare. nice place.
So now she is devastated, as if a knife had been gouged into her chest.
Xie Yun seemed to understand what she was thinking, and lightly pressed her shoulder.
Zhou Fei reluctantly picked up her mind and waved at a few people around her.
Forty-eight Village is a local snake after all. Not all young people can go as far as Zhou Fei as soon as they leave the apprenticeship. The first assignment they face is often to buy goods at the foot of the mountain, or simply exercise in a dark pile for a period of time. Many people Are very familiar with the terrain.
Zhou Fei simply divided the hundred or so people who were staying by her side into pieces, agreed with each other a set of simple passwords, and infiltrated the homes of the people in the town separately. He kept a few clever people with high martial arts beside him to investigate the people who were arrested by the enemy in the name of "treason".
Under the leadership of Xie Yun, a few people carefully avoided the officers and soldiers of the puppet dynasty patrolling the streets and came to the ancestral hall in the town.
Xie Yun said that the ancestral hall of one side usually has a large yard. When troops invaded a place, they would use this place as a place to hold prisoners of war. It is spacious and convenient, and it can also suppress the locals mentally.
Xie Yun was indeed very experienced. There were puppet troops around the ancestral hall. They found a hiding place nearby and jumped up to a few trees, just in time to see the situation in the ancestral hall.
Zhou Fei only glanced at it, and couldn't help but look away. There were a few people hanging in the middle of the courtyard. They were all hidden piles she had seen before. They were like newly slaughtered pigs and sheep. Drained blood.
"Don't look at the dead," Xie Yun whispered in her ear, "the dead can't be resurrected, look at the living."
Zhou Fei turned her gaze away from nowhere, and unconsciously swept around the few disciples she had brought. Seeing that the grief and indignation on the faces of these young people were overflowing her facial features, she felt as if she had been swept away. Like a basin of cold water, she gripped a tree branch next to her fiercely—yes, she still had something important to do.
Zhou Fei took a deep breath and looked at the courtyard again. She saw that the courtyard was filled with young and middle-aged men. I am afraid that except for the old and young, women and children, everyone from the town was here. Son, it's not an ordinary farmer or a small businessman. There are officers and soldiers patrolling nearby. If anyone dares to shout grievance or make a small gesture, he will punch and kick all the way up, and those killed will be dragged to the side and piled up in the corner.
"Can it be saved?" Zhou Fei asked in a low voice.
"Yes, but it's easy to startle the snake." Xie Yun thought about it and asked, "Why don't you leave someone here to pass the news and contact their family members - who is more familiar?"
Someone among the disciples immediately responded, "I have been a secret post for three months, and I know some people."
Zhou Fei nodded and said, "Okay, then Senior Brother, you are 'Number Ninety-six'."
They organized everyone into numbers and hid them in the homes of the common people at the foot of the mountain. Each number was in charge of a small area, passed messages to each other, and sent the movements of the enemy troops down the mountain back to the 48th Village at any time, and temporarily filled up a few hidden piles that had been uprooted. lack.
As soon as Zhou Fei arranged the affairs of the ancestral hall here, she heard Xie Yun "shush" her.
Everyone hurriedly held their breaths. After a while, a group of men in black rushed past, led by Gu Tianxuan, whom they had seen, and another middle-aged man with a saber beside him, wearing a black cloak with embroidered on the back. Big Dipper map.
This group of people, number 70 or 80, swept past like a black whirlwind and headed towards Forty-Eight Village.
"Your guess is really right," Zhou Fei muttered, then turned to a disciple beside her and said, "Send the news back."
The disciple responded and fell from the tree, avoiding the soldiers patrolling the street, and flew away in a blink of an eye.
Zhou Fei thought about it for a while, and then went down from the tree.
Xie Yun hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?"
"I see the man with the saber walking side by side with Gu Tianxuan. He is definitely not an ordinary person. It must be either 'Breaking the Army' or 'Wenqu'," Zhou Fei said. Who? I'll take a look."
Maybe he can take his dog's head and stew it.
The last sentence was too wild, for fear of scaring the weak Xie Gongzi, Zhou Fei endured it and didn't say it.
Xie Yun saw her thoughts at a glance. He has been trying very hard to guide Zhou Fei to be careful and careful, and Zhou Fei is indeed not a piece of rotten wood. Many things can be revealed at a glance... As long as she does not always reveal her true nature at critical moments .
Xie Yun collapsed: "Ancestor! You..."
"I didn't say that the dog officer had to be killed," Zhou Fei waved her hand and said, "Brothers, wait for my signal, and once they are ready to go, they will act separately as we said before, set fire to their tents, and then put these The people who walked the streets and alleys were killed, and the villagers in the ancestral hall were released, and the town was in chaos.
Zhou Zuzong's art master was bold, made a decisive decision, and left as soon as he said it.
Xie Yun didn't stop her with a "hey" sound, so she had no choice but to follow.
Zhou Fei felt that Beidou must have come from the enemy's commander, so she followed the path of the men in black just now.
The headquarters of the officers and soldiers of the puppet dynasty occupied the most imposing mansion in the town. Zhou Fei glanced at it and couldn't help frowning.
The security here was far more severe than she imagined. As soon as Zhou Fei appeared, she saw guards patrolling back and forth even on the roof with bows and crossbows. The vision was condescending.
How to dive in
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and there was a special team of guards patrolling nearby!
Zhou Fei was looking for a place to hide when suddenly, a hand stretched out above her head: "Come up!"
Zhou Fei didn't even think about it, she grabbed the hand and hung herself up.
She found that since she went down the mountain, she seemed to be running around in the trees all the time, almost turning into a big tickling monkey.
The patrolling soldiers were not masters of listening to the six routes, and walked over unconsciously.
Zhou Fei exhaled lightly and said, "I didn't feel when you climbed the tree."
It turned out that it was Xie Yun who was chasing her up.
Xie Yun said with a "tsk", "If even you could detect it, I would have to be five feet tall when I was dead and reincarnated."
When Zhou Fei thought about it, it was indeed, a slut like Xie Yun, if he hadn't run fast, how could he have jumped up and down to this point. This kind of ability is in him, and there is no other use for him except to lose his power and humiliate the country, but... If it is used in assassination, wouldn't it be even more powerful
She asked humbly: "What is the real light-hearted gong?"
"You are thin and light, and you are blessed by nature. After a few years, with your deep internal strength and pure kung fu, Qinggong will naturally rise, so you don't need to practice it deliberately," Xie Yun said. , first you have to regard yourself as the breeze and the water, the shadow of the trees, this is the way of 'spring wind and rain', if the assassin is trained, the southern sword is enough, the swordsmanship of your school is unparalleled, do not go this way."
Zhou Fei didn't believe it, so she selectively listened to half of his absurd reasons, trying to experience the so-called feeling of "thinking of herself as a spring breeze". Unexpectedly, "don't listen to the old man, suffer losses and don't spend money." , and almost fell off the tree because of his distraction.
Xie Yun was startled and picked her up.
A team of guards happened to be walking over with an old man. The old man was in a state of embarrassment.
The two people on the tree breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Xie Yun noticed that he was holding Zhou Fei in his arms, his arms just wrapped around her waist, and there was a very light fragrance in her hair mixed with a little soaphorn. The smell penetrated lightly into his nose.
It would seem deliberate to let go immediately, don't let it go... Xie Yun's eyes were slightly dark, and for a moment, his thoughts that did not stop day and night suddenly broke for a while, and his mind was stuck as if he would "let go or not let go" a few The words were repeated several times with sounds and images, and he almost forgot that he was in the enemy camp.
Until Zhou Fei gave him an elbow: "… let go."
Xie Pinzui rarely said a word, and obediently let go.
The strange thing is that Zhou Fei didn't do anything except that elbow. The two fell silent for a while, and neither of them looked at each other. There was still a slight embarrassment. Fortunately, at this juncture, a "big man" came out to solve it. around.
I saw a group of guards suddenly stop not far away, describing it as a solemn.
Xie Yun jolted, quickly calmed down, stretched out his hand and poked Zhou Fei, and made a "silence" gesture at her.
The four gates of the big mansion occupied by the officers and soldiers of the puppet dynasty opened wide, and then a row of guards filed out, standing in a row, and then the officers and soldiers escorted one person out.
It stands to reason that Zhou Fei and the others were hiding quite far away, and if they were blocked by this group of people, even if they were surrounded by bears, they couldn't see the head and tail.
But His Royal Highness the King of the North End is really talented, like a hill, he walked out when the ground shook, almost trying to spread the crowd around him.
And when he walked, he was neither clumsy nor cowardly, but rather poised, as if he genuinely thought he was handsome!
Zhou Fei stared at the King of Bei Duan who was screaming and hugging, and finally, she couldn't help but tilt her head to compare with the "King of Nan Duan" who was hiding in the treetops and was as light as a bird's egg.
Zhou Fei asked in a low voice, "Is this Cao Ning? Duan Wang? Which 'Duan' character is that?"
Xie Yun said: "The end of 'Pour tea and pour water'."
Zhou Fei: "Then who are you?"
Xie Yun said without changing his face: "The 'Duan' of 'Gentleman Duanfang'."
Zhou Fei: "…"
Although she is illiterate, she often draws villains on books to fool her father, but she is not illiterate!
She was hugged abruptly by Xie Yun just now, and the awkward feeling had not subsided. She was about to humiliate him as usual, but before the words came out, another thought suddenly appeared in Zhou Fei's heart.
Wu Chuchu said that Xie Yun was taken over by Emperor Jianyuan after the rebellion of the Cao clan and the establishment of the Southern Dynasty, and was named "Duan Wang", but this Cao Ning was Cao Zhongkun's son, and he looked older than Xie Yun.
So... which "end" comes first
Xie Yun noticed her gaze: "What?"
Zhou Fei asked softly, "Are you named 'Duanwang' after this person?"
This trip was thrilling, and his heart was a little confused. Xie Yun seemed to have no soul at this time, so for a moment, he couldn't hide his emotions.
Zhou Fei clearly saw that Xie Yun's expression changed. He seemed to grit his teeth. The lines on his normally soft face suddenly sharpened. In his eyes, shock, embarrassment, and indescribable pain flashed one after another, as if he was wounded by someone. It's like grabbing a handful.
For the first time in her life, Zhou Fei regretted that she had said the wrong thing.
But Xie Yun is still Xie Yun after all.
Before she could find something to make up for, Xie Yun returned to her usual skinless face, and waved his hands carelessly: "That's for sure, you don't think this king is handsome and suave, just right Contrasting that thing? Wait until the north and south will fight again, you see, the two armies called out 'His Royal Highness' in front of the formation, and the two of us showed up at the same time, tsk..."
During the conversation, I saw that the King of Bei Duan called a few of his subordinates, and someone led the horse.
A guard lifted his clothes and knelt down, put his hands on the ground, and showed his back. The king of the north end did not lower his head, so he stepped on the back of the man and got on the horse as a matter of course.
He stepped on the guard so his head was almost knocked to the ground, and his blushing face was full of blue veins. Zhou Fei only felt a dull pain in her back, and she almost got stuck in her chest in one breath.
Zhou Fei ignored Xie Yun, who was full of horses. She was a wild girl who grew up in the mountains, and the little bit of etiquette she knew was just like imitating others. The emperor, the prince, and the group of high officials who didn't know what they were doing were similar in her heart. They were all just names and didn't mean anything. Even if she learned about Xie Yun's identity, she was only surprised for a while, and then she was still fighting. Noisy, don't take it to heart.
But after seeing the style of the king of the northern end with his own eyes, Zhou Fei realized for the first time how far the word "wang ye" was from the person beside him who was sneakily hiding in the treetops.
If it was in Jinling, would there be so many stars around Xie Yun
Will he be dressed in jewels, and a gang of servants? Are there also people who knelt down on the ground and carried him on their backs on their horses
If so...
Then why did he have to go through trials and tribulations in the sinister rivers and lakes precariously
Xie Yun suddenly came over and said solemnly: "What are you asking about, do you want to be Princess Duan?"
Zhou Fei: "…"
"Don't fight, don't fight," Xie Yun said hurriedly, "Nvxia Zhou spare your life... Hey, what is Fatty Cao going to do?"
I saw that the guards on the left and right had just followed to separate the two sides. Cao Ning rode on his horse and was about to leave with a group of cavalry.
Zhou Fei was refreshed.
correct! Just now, this dog officer was inside a high wall, and he was surrounded by guards on three floors and three floors. She didn't have a chance to do it, so wouldn't it be a chance for him to ride on a horse
As long as she wasn't a top player like Beidou, with Zhou Fei's skill now, she was just a team of ordinary cavalry, she didn't have to take it seriously!
Zhou Fei's heart was beating wildly, and Wang Chunshan in her hand could not wait to kill.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xie Yun suddenly stretched out a cold hand and held her down involuntarily.
Xie Yun stared at Cao Ning's back, suddenly realized something, and his face became extremely ugly.
"A Fei," Xie Yun asked inaudibly, "Are the people around you trustworthy?"
Zhou Fei shuddered for no reason at what he said.
"Go." Xie Yun said.
Zhou Fei: "What..."
"Let's go, stop chasing," Xie Yun said, "We've leaked where we came from, and the news you just sent back to the village may not be true. Cao Ning is a trap here - spread the letter immediately... No, you can't believe them, don't spread it. , now you send a signal that the people you brought should set fire to fire, kill people and let people go as usual, you go back to deliver the letter in person, hurry up!"
