The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 498

"Maybe you can see the situation?"

"Well, it should be two parties. The number of people is quite a lot, but there must be a second No. 30 people."

"Have you seen any of them today?"

"Um...no."

After briefly understanding the situation at the lower end, Jiang Yichen stopped talking.

Ever since he heard the sound of fighting, he felt faintly uneasy.

On the way, they encountered ten teams successively.

Seven groups went north, and three groups went south, with a total of 49 people.

According to his request, Chu Shan described to him the general signs and attire of these men and horses in detail, and recorded them one by one.

So far, it has only been a few hours of effort, and Chu Shangu naturally still memorizes it by heart, and he will not make mistakes when he sees it.

Since it can be confirmed that these people did not just go from the south, it can only mean that they came from the north.

Under the current situation, Jiang Yichen would definitely not think that it was just a coincidence that the two parties were fighting here.

What he was worried about was how much were these two involved with the father and daughter of the Niu family?

Combining the information obtained from Pinghai County, he deduced that the father and daughter of the Niu family should not arrive in Baiju Town until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.

So he still has half a day to do other preparations.

But this inference is not entirely reliable.

Because he ruled out the possibility of the Niu family's father and daughter traveling in the starry night.

Of course, he couldn't find a reason why the Niu family's father and daughter would travel together starry night.

After all, under the premise that the whereabouts have been exposed, the road ahead is long and difficult, and it is not wise to blindly seek speed.

Before he could figure out the key point, he heard Chu Shan say alone: ​​"According to what the shopkeeper said, the Qili Kiln is not a small place. Is it because they came ahead of time to ambush and scrambled for an important position, and there was a conflict, so they fought?"

Chu Shangu just lacks experience in the world, but his brain is not slow after living a long time, and he is already decent when he learns to analyze.

"rational."

Jiang Yichen affirmed Chu Shangu's reasoning, or he was more willing to believe that the facts were just as Chu Shangu said.

"This is, a fight?"

Zhang Lao Er packed up a bunch of valuable things and walked out of the small wooden house, but he saw Liang and Chu sitting still and seemed to be talking about something, and soon he also noticed the sound of fighting coming from the direction of Qili Kiln.

"Brother, sit down, let's wait for a while and see the situation before we leave."

"Eh, good."

Zhang Laoer had already noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a bit dignified, but if Brother Liang didn't take the initiative to ask, he didn't want him to get involved, so he sat back in his chair and waited obediently.

Hearing the sound of fighting in the distance became a little clearer, Jiang Yichen said: "Brother Chu, let's talk about the situation of the battle."

Chu Shan responded alone, squinting his eyes and observing carefully.

"There are two groups of people, the side with fewer people, there are two, four, eight...eight people."

"There are a lot of people, there are more than twenty people."

"Among the eight people, two are relatively strong, three are slightly mediocre, and the remaining three are less powerful."

"However, the individual combat power of these eight people is much stronger than the one with more people. At least the three who are slightly mediocre can be compared to two."

"The problem is that the 20 people are not scattered. They have clear tactics, and their offense and defense are orderly, like a whole."

"Although those eight people were strong, they couldn't take advantage of them. Instead, they were defeated and retreated under the siege."

"Uh, that's not quite right. Judging from the trend, the twenty or so people should be trying to surround and annihilate the eight people, but the more aggressive two are rushing left and right, constantly destroying each other's encirclement. "

"But the strength of the two was exhausted after all, so the eight had no choice but to retreat and disperse to lengthen the battle line, so as not to be surrounded prematurely."

"And the direction in which they retreated happened to be where we were."

After Chu Shangu had finished telling the general situation of the battle, Jiang Yichen asked, "What do you think?"

Being asked such an unreasonable question, Chu Shan was stunned for a while, and said, "What does Brother Liang mean?"

Then he said generously: "I, Chu, am not the one who only seeks profit and bullies the weak and fears the hard. Brother Liang, if you think you need to save, we will go and save you."

Jiang Yichen couldn't react to this answer.

Seeking only profit, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, what does this mean?

Jiang Yichen corrected, "I mean Brother Chu, how do you judge the situation?"

Chu Shan said alone: ​​"Oh, I misunderstood. In my opinion, if there is no change, the eight people will have to confess their lives here sooner or later."

He added: "A lot of blood has been seen on a few people. I think there were probably thirty or so people on the other side before. After a hard fight, they were exhausted."

Jiang Yichen said: "Brother Chu said to save them, but save them?"

Chu Shan said lonely: "That's natural, those who bully the few with the more are all women!"

Speaking of this, Chu Shangu's temperament came to the fore, clapped his hands on the table, and asked: "Will you save me?!"

Jiang Yichen shook his head, and said, "If it's not forced, I don't want to cause complications. Let's wait and see what happens."

Chu Shangu's complexion suddenly sank, he turned his head and continued to stare at the far end, and murmured: "What a bitch."

After a few back and forth, the second brother Zhang, who had been silent all the time, realized that Liang and Chu were not familiar with each other, and the identity of the little brother Liang was a bit complicated to think about, and the surname "Liang" was probably just a generalization. Brother Chu changed his catchphrase and used it to dictate.

Jiang Yichen asked again: "Now it is possible to see clearly what costumes the two parties are wearing, and what weapons are they playing?"

Losing your temper belongs to losing your temper, and you still have to do your job, Chu Shan replied alone: ​​"The eight people seem to be dressed as traders, and the twenty or so people are all dressed in black."

Jiang Yichen rested his chin and muttered: "Trader? You just came out of the town at this time, and you rushed a little bit, but you can reach Caoyan Town before dark."

Chu Shangu seemed to have guessed what Jiang Yichen was going to say next, so he hurriedly continued: "Ordinary merchants are lucky to say that eight merchants can fight. I don't believe that they are not Jianghu people in disguise."

"Disguise is to cover up whereabouts, but why cover up whereabouts?"

"Speaking of which, the weapons used by the twenty or so people are a bit weird. Now we can count them all, 23 people."

"What kind of weird method?"

"A meteor hammer with four heads, a combination of long whips, and something that looks like an umbrella that opens and closes but looks like a multi-bladed flying scythe. In short, they are all very rare, and I can't describe them for a while. It's still the eight hands. The guys inside are simpler, six with swords, one with double stabs, and one with a dagger."

It was a long passage, Jiang Yichen only listened to the first half of the sentence, and then his mind wandered away.

He has already heard the identities of the twenty or so people. He has inquired about what happened that night at the Hundred Flowers Conference after leaving the valley. Including the time when Buji Island was intercepted and killed, this should be the third appearance of "that group of people". ?

After all, the imperial court still came.

So who are those eight people?

Chu Shan suddenly wondered: "Hey, it seems that Dao Lei Halberd appeared out of thin air just now?"

Rubbing his eyes, he looked at Zhang Laoer with a look of doubt.

Zhang Lao Er nodded repeatedly when he saw this, and said affirmatively: "Yeah, Brother Chu read that right, the Dao Lei Halberd was launched out of thin air. However, judging by the weather, it seems that it is going to rain."

Chu Shan raised his head when he heard the words alone, and it was not bad, it was just that the sky was getting dark, how could it become gloomy in the blink of an eye.

"Tsk tsk, can that person call the wind and call the rain?"

"I don't think so. The thunder halberd didn't come down from the sky, and there was no thunder."

"That's right, there's Dao Lei Ji again, hey, there are also fire snakes and ice picks, is that man juggling? There are so many tricks!"

"That's not clear."

The more I chatted with Zhang Laoer, the more excited I became, but seeing that Jiang Yichen didn't say a word, Chu Shangu frowned and said seriously: "I don't see a stick of incense, and I'm afraid they will retreat to us. I am afraid that three or two of these eight people will be lost. To save or not, make a decision as soon as possible."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yichen said: "I didn't stop you."

"you!--"

Chu Shan was angry for a while, and was about to get up to save others, but saw Jiang Yichen fumbled some bank notes from his arms.

Can't help but be full of doubts, what is this for?

I saw Jiang Yichen pulling the dazed-looking Zhang Lao Er to the side of the horse, and then forced the bank notes to the other party.

"Brother Zhang, I'm afraid I won't be able to bother you at your house tonight."

"You take these bank notes, and lead the horse away, and stay in Caoyan Town for a night, and help the younger brother to pass the news by the way."

"Tomorrow morning, you can send a message to your sister-in-law through the official post office to tell you that you are safe."

"After tomorrow, there is no need to run this teahouse anymore."

"You said you want to make your sister-in-law live more comfortably, but how can you let her be alone at home all day long, and even have to worry about your safety?"

"Take my sister-in-law to the north to see the prosperity of Youjing. If you want to find a place to enjoy your old age, I think Jinzhou City should be a good place."

"The trade is flourishing there, and you can also use it, brother."

After saying that, Jiang Yichen helped Zhang Laoer onto the horse, carefully explained how to help him convey the message here, and then said goodbye.

Feeling the firm force coming from his hand, Zhang Laoer couldn't speak the whole time, letting his tears flow freely.

In the end, I could only say goodbye to the "Brother Liang" whom I met on the way from a distance.

"For ordinary people, 3000 taels will not be a problem for ten or eight years, but you are generous."

Seeing Zhang Lao Er walking away, Chu Shan said alone.

Jiang Yichen didn't talk to him, he just rejoiced that he had unceremoniously plundered the dead man's money in Guzhong, and now he can squander it so magnanimously.

Chu Shangu asked again: "It's all about Youjing, how can you be sure that Jinzhou City is not afraid of the flames of war?"

Over the years, Jiang Yichen has learned a lot about the calamity that occurred in the year of his birth, but it is the tip of the iceberg after all, and he is very unfamiliar with Jinzhou City, but the Niu family father and daughter "escaped" from Jinzhou City. The peace of mind that General Niu chose must be that it is not easy to go wrong when the war comes.

But he was too lazy to explain too much to Chu Shangu, so he said "I don't know".

Chu Shan panted heavily through his lonely nose, and said, "The people here are sent away, can the people over there be saved?"

Jiang Yichen smiled and said: "I said, I will not stop you, and no one can stop you now."

Chu Shan scolded: "It's because I, Chu, think so highly of you, I never thought you would be so timid, what a bitch!"

Chu Shangu raised the knife while talking, and when he was about to walk out of the teahouse, he turned around and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

Jiang Yichen pointed up with a finger, and said, "I'm afraid of the rain."

It is going to rain, and the teahouse has a canopy, which can keep out the rain.

Chu Shan Gu cursed a foul word, and angrily ran in the direction of Qiliyao!

Rain is not spring rain, it is dense like smoke, it comes slowly, soft and lingering.

The rain is summer rain, and it comes as soon as it is said, crackling and loud.

In the heavy rain, Chu Shan alone could only see thunder and halberds appearing frequently in the battle situation with few figures, like a silver dragon dancing wildly, dazzling and dazzling.

Another woman yelled like a silver bell: "Master, I'll help you!"

Immediately afterwards, in addition to the sound of heavy rain and the sound of metal and iron, there was also a chilling sound of the piano piercing the ears, disturbing people's mood!

It is difficult to hold the knife in his hand firmly!
