Yin Chang stood up and took a few steps forward, then suddenly paused.
Because the people coming in from the outside are definitely not his two trusted subordinates!
Yin Changcai was a civil and military man with a high position. In recent years, he had continuously promoted the southern conquest of the Song Dynasty and gathered considerable power. Therefore, his daily subordinates both respected and feared him.
When he was doing official business in the courtyard, there was absolutely no noise outside. Even if someone came to report something urgent, he would subconsciously slow down a little when he got to the door. No matter who he was, how could he be so rude and say so in one breath?
Rush in?
Because Yin Chang planned to discuss some secrets about northern military affairs with Xu Wende and Guo Zheng, he had already dismissed the irrelevant subordinates. Even the soldiers on duty at the courtyard gate were on leave. But at the gate of the government office
The guards at various places are still there, and the leader is his confidant. This confidant has been specially instructed in advance. After seeing Xu and Guo, he will lead them through the corner gate and take a quiet road on the side, so as not to attract anyone's attention.
But now, the footsteps of this group of people don't sound cautious at all!
The visitor is not good!
Yin Chang suddenly became wary and shouted loudly: "Who is outside!"
Before he finished speaking, the courtyard door was slammed open, and a gray-brown thing roared like a beast and rushed into the courtyard.
Yin Chang took two steps back up the steps before he underestimated that the thing was actually a person.
I saw that this man's face was covered in stains. He leaned forward while running, with his head sticking out. His face had high cheekbones, small eyes, a flat nose, a thick beard, and a bare head, leaving only a strand on his forehead.
Hair... Yin Chang has seen such a dress before! It turned out to be a Tatar! What a ghost, a living ghost! How could a Tatar come here?
"How dare you seek death here!" Yin Chang shouted repeatedly.
But Tatar made a whooshing sound in his mouth and his eyes were blood red. He neither understood nor paid any attention to Yin Chang's words. This guy was strong and fast, and he rushed up the steps in a few steps, heading straight towards
Yin Chang rushed over.
Yin Chang is a veteran who has experienced battles for a long time. He does not panic when encountering chaos and immediately pulls out the short sword from his waist. However, because he is older and has been pampered for several years, his reaction is not as good as when he was young and his hands were strong.
When I put the handle of the knife on, I felt a strong wind blowing towards my face, giving me a heavy blow on my face.
The dull and severe pain almost made him dizzy. The spoon in his hand eased, and then his hair was pulled hard and pushed down violently.
Yin Chang couldn't help himself and fell backwards. Finally, he reacted very quickly. When he landed, he suddenly bent over and arched his back to land on the ground with his back. Otherwise, if the back of his head hit the steps, he would have suffered a brain rupture and died on the spot.
But the feeling of his back hitting the stone steps was uncomfortable. Even if he was wearing a thick coat in winter, the pain made Yin Chang scream. And the Tatar holding Yin Chang's bun roared twice, and the fishy smell blew straight into him.
On the face, while Yin Chang was dizzy, Tatar raised his fist high and was about to hit him hard.
This Tatar's strength is really not small. Yin Chang was punched in the middle of his left eye before. Now his field of vision is red. Only his right eye can vaguely see something. If he eats one or two more times, he may lose his cheekbones.
It shattered, and the face was punched into the brain!
It was too late to say, but soon, Yin Chang swung his sword fiercely.
He has personally experienced countless battles. Even if his physical strength and reflexes are declining now, there are certain basic rules for saving his life. The most important one is that no matter what, he must not lose the knife in his hand. He received several severe blows, and even though the world was spinning, the knife he held in his hand did not relax at all.
With the little vision in front of him, he swung the knife and stabbed hard, and with a few puffs, he stabbed the Tatar in the side of the ribs.
In fact, stabbing the ribs and chest with a short knife are not suitable moves in close combat. The ribs of the human body are surrounded by bones for protection. If the strength is slightly insufficient or the angle is not so sharp, the narrow blade will be stuck by the bones. It even broke. Instead, it had to be hammered with a heavy weapon such as an iron bone flower to achieve the killing effect.
However, the movement angle of Yin Chang's arm was limited, and he could not reach other parts for a while. Fortunately, he had rich fighting experience. At this time, he was not looking for a single kill, but only looked at luck. In an instant, he exerted force on his forearm and stabbed him six times. .
When the short knife penetrated the meat, it was indeed blocked by the ribs several times, but there were also two times that penetrated the ribs and wedged deeply into the internal organs.
The moment he drew the sword, Tatar's blood gushed out like a fountain. After the internal organs were injured, the human body instinctively collapsed and became weak. He screamed fiercely, but the fist he dropped lacked strength and slammed into Yin Chang's face.
Yin Chang took this hard meal, his head jerked back, nosebleeds spurted out, and his mouth was full of salty taste. Fortunately, Tatar was injured and weak, so he stopped punching. In the blink of an eye, his upper body was shaking, as if he was about to collapse. appearance.
He raised his hands and tried to push Tatar away from him.
Unexpectedly, the Tatar suddenly roared violently, and he didn't know where to get the last bit of strength. He suddenly grabbed Yin Chang's right hand holding the knife and pressed down.
This time, taking into account the entire body weight and the last burst of life force, the force was unusually great. Yin Chang tried his best, but he could not resist the falling force of the dagger.
Seeing that the bloody edge of the short knife was from one foot to five inches away from his face, from five inches to one inch; the blood from the tip of the knife and the sweat from the Tatar's head and face dripped onto Yin Chang's face. Chang just cried out in pain and sighed in his heart, death is inevitable in life, but it is a pity that his ambition was not fulfilled, and it is a pity that his death was so inexplicable.
At this moment, he saw several other figures flashing in his blurred vision.
Someone kicked the Tatar over, and someone gave the Tatar a few knives, killing him completely.
Some people squatted down and looked at Yin Chang.
Yin Chang's vision was blurry and he couldn't breathe. It had been too long since he had fought a life-and-death fight with someone. In just a few breaths, he had used all his potential, and now he really couldn't squeeze out any more. Spare energy.
He raised his hand and tried to hold the sword in front of him to protect him, but the person in front of him reached out and grabbed the knife and snatched it away easily.
"Tsk tsk..." The man looked at it with the knife and praised: "Old Yin, you are so young. Your fighting spirit is really good."
The army of the Great Zhou Dynasty originated from the Ding Haijun formed by Guo Ning and people from Hebei. In the early days of the expansion of the Ding Haijun, the first powerful Shandong faction to join the Ding Haijun was Yin Chang. He was also the only one in the Ding Haijun besides Guo Ning and Jing Anmin. The earliest high-ranking official to be a military envoy.
Because of this status, generally speaking, his colleagues respect him very much, and most of them address him with the title of official title. A few people who came from the Red Coat Army will affectionately call him "Old Yin".
"Yin" seems to be very affectionate, except for a few old brothers who came from the Red Coat Army, there are only two brothers who have deep experience in the army and are trusted by the emperor: Marshal Li Ting of Guanzhong and Li Yun, the doctor of the left and right divisions.
Li Ting has a heavy responsibility and will not appear in Kaifeng, so of course Li Yun is here!
Hearing this sentence, Yin Chang couldn't help but scolded: "Damn, you little baby, did you come here to harm me?"
Cursing casually, Yin Chang raised his hand and rubbed his eyes repeatedly. The eyelids of both eyes were almost torn due to excessive force. The moment he shed tears, he saw the person in front of him clearly. This person was holding a short knife in his hand.
He leaned over and took a closer look, and it turned out to be Li Yun. Looking at Li Yun's expression, he looked like he was smiling but not smiling...
Yin Chang suddenly thought of something: Xu Wende and Guo Zheng did not come, but Li Yun came. What does this mean? Could it be that... the Tianjin government's piecemeal arrangements were exposed? They came to take my life on behalf of the emperor?
There was a "buzzing" in his mind, as if the heavy blow he had just received was now beginning to explode. He couldn't hear what Li Yun was saying for a while, and cold sweat poured out from his forehead and hair like a waterfall.
"Ahem...what's going on?"
Yin Chang's appearance shocked Li Yun.
He took half a step forward and supported Yin Chang with one hand: "Don't fall, Old Yin! His Majesty said, if you can show some bravery this time, you will pass this level!"
As he spoke, he took out the document with his other hand and shook it out in front of Yin Chang: "Old Yin, look at this!"
"Ah?" Yin Chang responded blankly.
He rubbed his eyes again, strained his eyes to look at the document, looked at it, and sighed.
