"Report," a sergeant from Green Forest came into the marching tent and said, "Commander, the envoy from Xianyang is waiting outside."
"Please come in quickly," Shi Jin said, sitting at the top.
But a moment later, a man dressed as a military general came in, stood in the tent, saluted, and said, "Peng Lin, the captain of Xianyang County, has met the commander-in-chief."
When Shi Jin heard this, he gave him a seat and said, "It's really rare for Mr. Peng to come here in person."
"If we don't go there in person, it won't be enough to express our sincerity," the general said, then he raised a package in his hand and said, "Commander, this is the seal of Xianyang. Please accept it."
"Bring it up," Shi Jin said. He went to the left and right to pick up the revenge, and held it in front of Shi Jin. Shi Jin took it and untied the bundle, revealing the sandalwood box wrapped in it. As soon as he moved the copper button on the box, there was a click, and the lid of the box popped open. There was a large seal neatly placed inside. Shi Jin took it in his hand and took a closer look at the clues. It was indeed true. With the guaranteed county seal, Shi Jin dropped half of his last guard, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, General Peng. Come and offer me some tea."
The military attache smiled and said, "Thank you, Marshal," and then took the tea from the Green Forest Army boy's hand.
Shi Jin said: "Where is Mr. Zhu An now?"
The military attache heard the question, and immediately repeated what Jiang Zhongxia had told him word for word: "Master Zhu An and Master Jiang Zhongxia are busy making arrangements to welcome the army into the city. They have already sent the money and food in the city. Once the treasury is sealed, wait for the general to enter the city,"
Shi Jin nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Jiang is indeed a hero of the generation. He knows the current affairs and is immobile. This is a good thing for Xianyang and me, Lulin, so as not to end up in a fight and end up fighting to the death and hurt the people." , I don’t think it’s what Mr. Jiang wants to see,”
"The commander-in-chief is right. We, Mr. Jiang, heard that the commander-in-chief loves the people like his own son and implements new policies that benefit the people, so he took refuge in Green Forest." The military attaché continued: "I don't know when the commander-in-chief plans to enter the city."
"There's no rush. It's okay for us to go after drinking this cup of tea," Shi Jin said, picking up the saucer in his hand and gesturing to "Peng Lin" to drink and enjoy it together.
[Xianyang·a private house]
The injured Shunying slowly opened his heavy eyes. What came into view was a half-new bed tent. He turned his head slightly and looked to the side. A solitary lamp had been lit in the room. The living room was simple. , except for the altar table directly opposite the entrance, that is, the square table placed in the middle and the two benches on both sides, the rest are just four walls, and there is no one in the room. There is only the unclosed room. The door was dyed with a bloody sunset.
The vague pain on his shoulder still seemed to remind him of something, and it brought him back to his memory in an instant. Before he lost consciousness, he had been shot by an arrow in the shoulder by an officer. While escaping from the officers and soldiers, he lost his footing and fell into the stable. , and then, he saw a man... He didn't remember what he looked like, but he remembered that after he struggled weakly, he had no memory at all... The fragments of intermittent memories made this fleeting image suddenly full of excitement. After guessing what happened before and after, the man must have knocked him out and brought him here.
He slowly opened the quilt and sat up. The equipment on his body had been removed by the man a long time ago. His upper body was exposed, and his shoulders were already bandaged. The wound was numb and itchy, and that man must have given him the medicine. , when Shunying thought of this, she tried her best to stand up with her weak body, held on to the edge of the bed and the wall, walked towards the door step by step, and asked: "Is there anyone there?"
No one answered him.
"Is there anyone?"
"No one, you're still lying here, what a joke," a voice came from under the eaves.
The instant shadow moved hard to the door. Outside was a large swath of sunset, which dyed everything outside red, making it look particularly dazzling. Those who looked at it were also quite frightened, and the person who spoke He was sitting on the steps in front of the house, smoking a leaf cigarette and looking at the setting sun.
"Thank you for your life-saving grace," said Shunying, enduring the pain and bowing to the ground with difficulty.
The man didn't look back. He clearly knew that the man was prostrating on the ground, but he didn't show any sign. Instead, he said very harshly: "Get up by yourself. You have arms and legs. Don't expect me to help you."
Shunying was a little embarrassed, but there are all kinds of people in this world. Meeting a weirdo is nothing, everyone has their own temperament. Shunying immediately got up and sat next to that person. , Only then did I see that my set of equipment was placed in front of the man, a mechanism box on the forearm that could pop out the Hidden Blade, a miniature crossbow gun, a short knife, a dagger, twelve eagle feather flying knives, and a climbing knife. The three-claw hook used for climbing the city wall, a small treasure bag containing incense poison, and an emergency first-aid box were all lined up in front of him.
These equipments are a secret of the organization in the green forest, and they are not allowed to look at anyone. This time, this person was placed in front of him, and Shunying suddenly became murderous. Although this person saved his life, but... But he violated the taboo of [Jue].
There was no trace of emotion on the face of the instant image, and he turned to look at his savior. He saw that the man was about middle-aged, wearing a single coat, revealing two strong and strong arms, just like that. It looked like his muscles were all clearly defined, and he didn't look like an ordinary farmer. Could it be that he was a escort or had met a snakehead in Xianyang City? Shunying secretly speculated in his heart, but that person was... He turned a blind eye, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, his face seemed dull, and under his strong nose were two thick and tightly pursed lips.
Shunying asked the man nonchalantly, "So interested,"
The man didn't speak, his eyes were still fixed on the equipment.
Shunying smiled, took a hidden sword and put it on the inside of his wrist, buckled the two fixed belts, and said: "I want to take these things with me into the coffin."
The man still didn't speak. I don't know if he didn't bother to take care of him, or he was already lost in thought while looking at the equipment. However, the aura exuding from this man made the instant image feel indescribably tight and depressing. , Shunying put on the equipment on his right hand, swiss-swish, retracted and thrust out the hidden sword and tried it several times. He glanced sideways at the man, still focused as if in a trance, and Shunying gritted his teeth. , suddenly on the verge of triggering, he grabbed the man's shoulder with one hand, and with a whoosh, the other hand stabbed the hidden sword diagonally towards the man's abdomen.
when,,.
There was a dull sound, and Shunying's eyes suddenly widened. He looked at the person in his arms in disbelief, and quickly retracted his hand and then struck again with his sword. However, there was still a dull sound, and that The person slowly turned his head, with a look of contempt on his face, as if everything about Shunying was as boring as child's play in front of others. When Shunying was surprised, he glanced down from the corner of his eye and saw only the sleeve that he had poked out. The sword landed squarely on the man's lower abdomen. However, apart from piercing a layer of clothing, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see the hidden sword entering at all.
"The people from Green Forest are really ruthless," the man said as he looked at this person. Based on these words alone, you couldn't tell whether they were a compliment or a disparagement. The man paused and said, "Put it away. If it's not the soft armor passed down from the family, , my fate is handed down here, you can’t kill me, you are not the only one who knows how to do these things,”
After Shunying heard this, he became even more surprised. Seeing that the man didn't bother to fight with him, he slowly took back the hidden sword that was pressed against his abdomen, lowered his head and said Nuonuo: "Yes... I'm sorry. ," Just after saying this, the hidden sword in the instant shadow's right hand waved again. This time, the instant shadow endured the pain and used up all the strength he had just accumulated. He stood up slightly and faced the man's face. Stab it through the neck.
Sooner or later, the man was obviously not a vegetarian. He used extremely fast techniques to pick up the nearby dagger on the ground, and with a clang, he blocked the hidden sword of the instant shadow by the side of his face.
Shunying was even more astonished when he saw the man's late-attacking tactics. He actually failed to kill him several times, and even the last sneak attack was blocked by others. What was even more shameful was that he, who had always been invincible, also tasted the edge of a knife. Feeling the cold hairs on his neck, the man actually had an eagle feather flying knife in his other hand. The sharp and cold blade was pressed against the side of Shuying's neck.
The man sneered and nodded, saying, "You don't have to kill me. I'll go see Shi Jin."
After Shunying heard these words, his whole body was shaken. He thought a lot in his mind at that moment. Could there be a misunderstanding here... Marshal has many friends in the world, and he happened to meet him by chance, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the rescue. He thought Here, the instant shadow gradually put down the hidden sword in his hand, and the man also put away the blade in his hand, slowly placed it on the ground, stood up, looked at the sunset setting in the west, and said: " Do you know that I could kill you just now?"
"know,"
"You are not afraid of death,"
"There is no need to fear death, the rules cannot be broken," Shunying said resolutely.
"Flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again." The man gave Shunying a very meaningful look, and the meaning in his eyes could not be clearer.
"If we can overthrow the Song Dynasty and bring peace to the world, we will go through fire and water," Shunying said.
"What good can it do to you? How much money will Lu Lin give you to work so hard for him?" the man asked.
"As long as the world is at peace, Lulin can lead my father and fellow villagers to live a good life with enough food and clothing. Do you think it's worth it? Now that Lulin has implemented the New Deal, people all over the world have heard about it and everyone aspires to it. Don't you know?" The instant shadow asked back.
The man nodded and said: "I now understand that the Song Dynasty used money to manage the army, while Green Forest used faith to control it... This is what I have been looking for, good, good, good,"
Shunying was confused when he listened to the man's incoherent words, but the man said: "I originally wanted to live in seclusion, hide my name, and spend the rest of my life. It seems that I was inevitably involved. This is what my destiny is. Once upon a time, God’s will,”
