Chapter 171 Young General: The world is suddenly dark, and the mountains and rivers are in winter
The bandits around were stunned for a moment. Some of them who had never left the mountain had never thought that this famous general was so young. The boy had a firm expression, and his deep eyes were like lonely stars in the dim night.
"Since General Xu is here, I, Zhou, should keep my promise and let this guy go. But, what if I break the promise today? The general is still too young." Zhou Zhi said this with a sense of evil taste.
Li Dahua, who was holding Shu Yijin, was also stunned. He looked at Zhou Zhi in surprise. Although they were bandits, they always insisted on keeping their words. When he saw the young general's eyes coming towards him, he actually looked away with a guilty conscience.
In the past, he had stayed with Chang Qing for a while on the pretext of the plague, and had also drunk porridge cooked by the general himself. The other party even helped him a lot. Now meeting under such circumstances, Li Dahua had never felt so difficult before.
He no longer looked at Chang Qing, but lowered his eyes slightly and listened quietly to the instructions of his eldest brother beside him.
Zhou Zhi said, "You are right. His status is noble and his death will not benefit us at all. But he is also a threat to us if he is alive. He has met me and His Highness. How can I let such a person live?"
As he spoke, he walked over and threw Shu Yijin down.
Zhou Si had just finished arranging another boat. He didn't expect Chang Qing to come so quickly, and he didn't expect his elder brother to throw Shu Yi Jin over without even thinking about it. When he arrived, he happened to see Shu Yi Jin falling into the water.
He even stabbed her again.
When the blade cut through the flesh, blood slowly seeped out. Shu Yijin, who was almost tied up like a dumpling, had no way to dodge and could only endure the blow head-on.
"Bang!" Zhou Si's big knife fell to the ground suddenly, and he jumped down without thinking.
He once promised this person that he would protect her. Even though he was not worthy of her now, he would always fulfill the promise he made as a joke in his childhood.
Zhou Zhi didn't expect his brother to be so decisive, and his face became even uglier, but he was not worried about his brother's life or death. After all, he grew up on Longhu Mountain, and when he was young, he held his breath in the water for a long time and survived.
Seeing the other party taking action, Chang Qing was no longer polite. With an order, he quickly snatched the big knife from a bandit next to him and stabbed it into the other party's chest with a very beautiful knife flower.
The big brother had just raised his knife, but before he could react, his knife was taken away. He felt a pain in his chest, and before he could even scream, the young man kicked him hard into the river.
The young man smiled as the blood splattered on his body, making his fierce face look more like a ghost from hell, completely revealing his battlefield side. When the bandits came to their senses, they saw a flash of blood splashing in the air, which was eerie and terrifying even through the fog.
Like Zhou Zhi, Chang Qing was not worried about Shu Yi Jin. They had guessed a few days ago that there would be some action on Longhu Mountain. The best way to fight against Xu's army was to fight on the river. Shu Yi Jin also said that he could swim. Just now, when Chang Qing saw him being tied up and thrown down, he was about to jump in to save him, but he saw someone jump in before him.
Li Dahua stared at the scene in a daze. From Changqing to Wancheng, and even from the border to the capital, her behavior had always been cold but gentle. Coupled with her age, it was very easy to ignore her reputation on the battlefield, and it was even difficult to associate her with the general.
But now, Chang Qing killed one small vegetable after another with his knife, watching the warm bodies of the dead slowly fall down. The dim lantern on the bow was also stained red by the splashed blood, shaking slightly, and then the candlelight was extinguished with a snap.
Li Dahua rushed over with his sword in hand, blocking a fatal blow for a brother, and roared, "That's enough, Xu Jinhuan. I respect you as a hero. I didn't want to be your enemy. I want you to die."
These people were all brothers who had drunk and eaten meat with him, and they had a deep relationship with each other. Now, he could only watch them fall down one by one, holding their necks and twitching all over. The blood hurt his eyes, and in this suffocating smell of blood, he felt more and more suffocated and angry in his heart, which turned into actual murderous intent and went towards Chang Qing.
The entire night seemed to be stained with blood. Chang Qing quietly held the bleeding knife in his hand, and walked towards Zhou Zhi and Li Dahahua without saying a word.
In the clash of swords and sabers, Li Dahua let out a muffled groan. He was about to feel a fierce murderous intent coming, and his body instinctively wanted to raise the knife to block it. However, he did not expect the opponent to be so strong that his wrist was numb and the knife in his hand fell to the deck.
Chang Qing kicked him out with a cold look on his face, and said in a neither light nor heavy voice: "It seems that you can't kill me."
"No, I will kill you to avenge my brother." Li Dahua gasped heavily and shouted with a ferocious face, his eyes full of murderous intent and madness blinded by hatred.
Zhou Zhi only exchanged a few moves with Chang Qing, then stood aside with a serious look in his eyes, assessing Chang Qing's strength. He then raised his knife and jumped towards Chang Qing, then shouted to Li Dahua: "Dahua, you go first."
Zhou Zhi's kung fu was indeed good. The big sword, which was extremely difficult for others to control and weighed dozens of kilograms, seemed to be light and fluttering as if it had no weight at all. His moves were not like Li Dahua's. Instead, every move of his sword went straight to the vital points and he used his strength to restrain Chang Qing.
In the chaos, when Shu Yijin climbed up, he saw a boat full of corpses. Many people had even fallen into the river like dumplings. The river water was surging blood red from time to time, as if a blood lotus had bloomed.
There are a lot of these bandits, and they are all trained. They are much stronger than the last bandit bay.
The moment Zhou Si came up, he picked up a knife and walked towards Chang Qing. Suddenly, someone grabbed his ankle. He lowered his eyes and saw that it was Shu Yi Jin.
"Don't touch him." Shu Yijin said word by word.
Zhou Si's eyes became fierce, and he broke away from Shu Yijin's hand: "I can let you go, but I can't let him go. Xu Jinhuan must die."
"Do you understand? If he doesn't die, all of us here will die, even me, do you understand?"
Zhou Si's voice suddenly became stern, and he looked at Shu Yijin's determined expression as if he was venting some anger.
"But he shouldn't have died." Shu Yijin's lips were pale. He also picked up a knife and used his mediocre kung fu to entangle Zhou Si. His clothes were wet and stuck to his body. The chill from the river had not yet subsided, and the biting cold was spreading.
Zhou Si was anxious and afraid of hurting her, so he gritted his teeth and slapped Shu Yijin on the chest.
Shu Yijin flew backwards and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Zhou Si pushed her aside and said, "Find a place to hide." Then he picked up a knife to help Zhou Zhi.
