Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 118 Breaking the Sacrifice
"Who are you, do you know who I am!" Gu Ting was annoyed.

"Hey, I dare to come, so I know who you are." Guan Ziyang sneered, adding three more points to the dagger in his hand.

Gu Ting felt his neck was icy and cold, it must have been cut by a knife, his scalp was numb from fright, and he finally said in a trembling voice.

"Hero, spare your life. If you are asking for money, I can give it to you. You can have as much as you want. If you belong to Zhuge Kan, then I can't help it. His son has been taken away by Wang Youjun."

Zhuge Kan?
Isn't that the refugee commander of the Huaiyin refugee army you just mentioned?

What the hell, Wang Xizhi actually kidnapped someone's son?

Guan Ziyang was furious: "I never thought Wang Xizhi, the majestic calligrapher, would act like this!"

"Who do you say is an idiot?" Gu Ting asked doubtfully.

Guan Ziyang said angrily: "Whoever kidnaps someone's son will do it!"

"Wang Youjun took his son to Kuaiji to see Zhi Daolin for treatment. Who kidnapped him?"

cure?

Guan Ziyang let go of Gu Ting, and pushed him onto the bed. There's no need for this kid to be in the third-rank realm, he's not a master.

"Then why do you think I'm here to find Zhuge Kan's son?"

Only then did Gu Ting see Guan Ziyang's appearance clearly. The man in front of him was handsome at a young age, but his methods were a little more formidable.

He knew that he was not his opponent, so he didn't dare to make trouble, and replied: "You are not from Huaiyin? You don't even know this?"

Guan Ziyang threw away the dagger in his hand, and said calmly: "If you tell me, just tell me, and sleep with your wife after you finish talking, or I will make you sleepless in the future!"

Gu Ting hurriedly said: "Heroes calm down, let me tell you."

This Zhuge Kan gave birth to seven children, all of whom were daughters. He wanted a son wholeheartedly, and finally got his wish three years ago. A newly married concubine gave birth to a son.

As a result, as his son grew up, he realized that he could not speak, but it was normal to cry and cry. He sought medical treatment everywhere, but failed to cure his only son.

The Zhuge family is proficient in divination. Although this Zhuge Kan has been expelled from the Zhuge family in the middle of Sichuan, he still has some skills. After his divination, it is said that he used 33 virgins and virgins to dedicate to the God of Hongze Lake. Meet noble people to help.

Guan Ziyang was shocked, boy and girl?Still offering sacrifices?

Asked: "Did Zhuge Kan really do this?"

Seeing that Guan Ziyang was angry, Gu Ting hurriedly said: "This has nothing to do with me at all, then Zhuge Kan asked the refugees under him to donate their children voluntarily, but no one was willing, so he went door to door and robbed them to make up enough money." 33 children were born and are about to be sacrificed."

Guan Ziyang said: "Does that mean the ceremony hasn't been held yet?"

Gu Ting nodded: "That's right, the time is set for tomorrow, but do you think it's strange? The altar was just set up two days ago, and Wang Youjun came to Huaiyin today.

After he met Zhuge Kan, he heard about his child and asserted that Zhidaolin in Kuaiji could cure him, so he took his child to Kuaiji. "

Guan Ziyang broke his mouth, Wang Xizhi didn't stop when he heard about the sacrifice of boys and girls?

"Then why do you think I'm here to find Zhuge Kan's son?" Guan Ziyang raised his dagger at Gu Ting.

Gu Ting was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Zhuge Kan is meeting Wang Xizhi at my prefect's mansion today, and those refugees whose children were arrested gathered at the mansion during the day to make trouble.

But I sent them away, and the group threatened to kill Zhuge Kan's youngest son to stop the sacrifice to Hongze Lake God. "

Guan Ziyang thought, the 33 boys and girls are all living beings, how can Zhuge Kan do anything, and the reason is to treat his son's mute disease.

"Didn't Wang Xizhi take him to Zhigong for treatment? Why does Zhuge Kan insist on tomorrow's ceremony?" Guan Ziyang asked angrily.

"Zhuge Kan said that the God of Hongze Lake saw his sincerity, so he fulfilled his wish in advance. If he went back on his prepared sacrifice, he might suffer retribution from the God of Hongze Lake!"

No matter how you say it, you have to take care of it!
What the hell is this!Zhuge Kan, with such a bad heart, no wonder he was expelled from the Zhuge family!
Guan Ziyang warned Gu Ting: "Just pretend you haven't seen me today. If you let me know that you leaked this matter, I will kill you at any time."

After finishing speaking, he threw the dagger forcefully in his hand, and with a slamming sound, the knife and handle were completely buried into the wall.

Gu Ting was stunned by his hand, the most important thing was Guan Ziyang's innate aura deliberately exuded!
After taking Guan Ziyang away, Gu Ting sat down on the ground with cold sweat all over his forehead.

"Oh my god, half saint!"

……

Originally planning to return to Guan Ziyang, Jingkou tonight, but changed the itinerary, even if Xi Tan found out that he had left, he had to save the 33 children first.

The next day, on the shore of Hongze Lake.

A large boat painted with colorful paints is parked on the shore. If you look closely, you can find five or six large holes artificially dug in the hull.

There were hundreds of soldiers in armor on the shore, each holding a long halberd in front of them, forming a large circle, blocking hundreds of people around them.

Many of the people cried and stretched out their arms, trying to reach the group of children tied tightly with ropes in the center of the circle.

However, this group of soldiers was very tough, no matter how the people outside pushed and shoved them, they remained motionless, obviously they were masters with good internal strength.

The children in the circle, both men and women, were all bound hands and feet, and their mouths were covered with cloth balls. Most of them were 4 or 5 years old, and the oldest was less than 10 years old.

They could only make whining noises, and the tears on their faces wet and dry, dry and wet.

"God damn Zhuge Kan, give me back my son..." A woman rushed to the nearest place to Zhuge Kan in despair and shouted in his hoarse voice.

The man on the side pulled the woman and said in a low voice: "Ma'am, there is still a second and third child at home, don't be impulsive!"

Zhuge Kan, who was sitting in the field, gave the woman who scolded him a blank look, and said to the man beside him: "Li Gouzi, watch your wife's mouth, lest I do it myself and people gossip about me again." .”

Li Gouzi quickly covered the woman's mouth with his hand, and dragged him away from the crowd.

Zhuge Kan had a big beard and couldn't see his expression clearly, but he seemed to be very relieved to see that man so 'well-behaved'.

He got up and shouted: "The auspicious time has come, send the sacrifices aboard!"

This sentence is like a talisman, announcing the death penalty of these children, not to mention whether there is a lake god in Hongze Lake, if there is, it is also a lake god who eats people!
The miserable cries of the people on the sidelines soared into the sky, and the parents of those children could only watch helplessly as the soldiers dragged them onto the colorful boat one by one like livestock.

Guan Ziyang was hiding in the boat at the moment, and when he saw the desperate eyes of the children, a monstrous hatred ignited in his heart.

The Hu people's cruelty to the Han people is a racial hatred. In the final analysis, it is for the survival of their own nation, but this Zhuge Kan is [-] times more hateful than the Hu people.

After these so-called sacrifices were dragged onto the boat, the soldiers took out the cloth balls in their mouths and tied them to the side of the deck one by one.

Immediately, the howls of the whole ship came and went, which was extremely miserable.

The parents on the shore almost collapsed when they heard their children's wailing. Some danced and sat on the ground crying, and some couldn't stop calling their children's names and kept apologizing.

Zhuge Kan, who was sitting as firmly as Mount Tai on the grand teacher's chair, was smiling again and again, and his fat body was shaking accordingly.

"With the sacrifice, my precious son's dumb mouth will be cured. I finally have someone to succeed me. It doesn't matter even if I don't have my blood awakened. As the commander of the refugee army that is growing in Jiangbei, my son will also inherit it." my mantle."

Zhuge Kan, who was so happy in his heart, turned a blind eye to the parents who were about to lose their children, and shouted at the soldiers on the boat.

"Hurry up, don't miss the time, start the boat after tying it up, remember to tie it tightly for me, if some offerings fall into the water, they will slip away, and the Lord Lake God will definitely be angry."

Guan Ziyang couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to make a move, when he suddenly saw a person in the crowd jump over the human wall, and rushed to the bow of the sacrificial boat in two or three steps.

Then he turned over and jumped onto the deck. The soldiers on the boat were here to tie up the child, and they didn't take any weapons.

The spear in the man's hand was flying, sweeping, picking, and swinging. With three moves, he knocked several soldiers into the water.

Guan Ziyang took a closer look, hey, it turned out to be an acquaintance, and it was Liu Chang from Zhongshan Yaji.

Zhuge Kan was furious: "Who disturbed the sacrifice, you are afraid that you will die!"

Liu Chang slammed the spear on the ground hard, not weaker than him: "I just don't want to die, aren't the refugees human? Thanks to you being the leader of the refugees, it's crazy to treat the refugees like this."

Zhuge Kan saw his righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and thought in his heart, if he was a son of a wealthy family, I was afraid that I would avoid his edge, and said loudly: "It's useless to talk too much, kid, report your name."

"Whether you want to change your name, or change your surname, Jingkou Liu Chang, I heard that you use living people to sacrifice, and I am really angry. I came from Jingkou."

Guan Ziyang shook his head when he heard this, he is really a straight man, so it would be good to give him a pseudonym.

Zhuge Kan laughed a few times, then spread out his palms, and a soldier next to him immediately put a nine-ringed broadsword in his palm.

"I don't know who it is, it turned out to be Mr. Liu, the fifth-rank official of Zhongshan Yaji last year, you are not an official in Jiankang, why did you go back to Jingkou?

Oh oh oh, by the way, you are only from the military, and there is no official to do it for you, hahaha..."

Liu Chang was silent and didn't answer. He just looked at the numb crowd on the sidelines and shouted to the crowd: "Your children are about to die in the hands of these bastards. Do you still have to swallow your anger!"

There was a dead silence in the crowd. Although they were sad, they didn't have the heart to resist.

The refugees are all landless, and they all live by the commander of the refugee, and his family's wealth and life are all on him.

Revolt?

How to resist?

Among the refugees, the masters of martial arts are his personal soldiers. Although there are not many in number, they are more than enough to deal with them.

Seeing that no one responded to him, Liu Chang also despaired. He shook the spear in his hand and glared at Zhuge Kan.

Zhuge joked and said: "You let the refugees turn against their refugees? You are afraid that you have a brain problem." After speaking, he rushed towards the sacrificial boat with the nine-ring sword.

"Delayed my auspicious time, I will take your dog's life!"

After a while, Zhuge Kan boarded the big boat, and chopped off Liu Chang's head with a big knife in his hand.

Liu Chang blocked with his spear horizontally.

'boom'

The spear was instantly split into two, Liu Chang was shocked by the huge force, and already had the idea of ​​giving up, this is a master of the first-rank realm, how could he be his opponent.

The muzzle of his gun was broken, and he rolled backwards a few times, hitting the hatch before stopping.

"I thought you were so capable. You dare to be a hero here, so you are a dog that doesn't bite!" Zhuge Kan pointed at Liu Chang with a long knife, "It's really wasting my time. You, a shrimp, are lucky enough to die in my life." Hand, you are also good fortune-telling!"

Seeing that Zhuge Kan came again with a blow to the head, Liu Chang gathered all his internal energy and gave it a full fight. I will die without regret.

It's a pity that I don't have the chance to see Mrs. Meng Jiang again in this life...

He closed his eyes, crossed his arms, and lowered his head, wanting to slap this bastard in the middle of the knife!
Even death will make you uncomfortable!

At this critical moment, something suddenly slapped him on the back.

The two streams of internal energy, one cold and one hot, filled the whole body instantly like the Yellow River flowing backwards.

The two internal forces rushed forward along the arm, and then exploded in his palm, hesitating the deflated balloon, and Liu Chang spat out the internal energy in his hand.

It was shot out of the body directly, the hair came first, the long knife on the head just touched a piece of his own hair, and then saw the round Zhuge Kan in front of him, flying backward like a meat ball.

He smashed the side of the ship and fell overboard.

A dozen or so soldiers behind the grand master's chair rushed forward and rushed to Zhuge Kan.

Zhuge Kan spat out a mouthful of blood, his internal organs vibrated, and he suffered serious internal injuries.

"What the hell, this kid showed me weakness and sneaked up on me!

But this internal force is so strong, I'm afraid it's already at the peak of the first rank, how can this kid be a mere commoner! "

Although he was puzzled in his heart, saving his life was the most important thing right now. He endured the pain, gritted his teeth and said to the soldiers: "Set up the formation and cover me to retreat."

The soldiers got the order and immediately supported him to run back. The soldiers no longer maintained order, and they all gathered at the bow of the boat, pointing their shiny silver guns at Liu Chang.

Liu Chang turned around and just saw Guan Ziyang's smiling face.

Liu Chang was overjoyed: "Brother Que! It turns out that you are helping me!" After speaking, he rushed towards Guan Ziyang.

Guan Ziyang patted him on the back: "Long time no see, let's talk about it later, don't let that fat pig get away right now."

Liu Chang looked embarrassed and said: "He is the commander of the Huaiyin refugees, I'm afraid we can't deal with him."

Guan Ziyang walked out of the cabin and walked towards the bow, only to see hundreds of soldiers waiting under the boat.

And Zhuge Kan was running back with the support of his own soldiers.

If he was allowed to return to the barracks, it would be really difficult to kill him.

Seeing that there were hundreds of refugees on the sidelines, he had an idea.

"Zhuge Kan was seriously injured, his life hangs by a thread, and he has no power to fight back. If you don't take the opportunity to take revenge, when will you wait?"

After listening to Guan Ziyang's reminder, the crowd woke up like a dream. Li Gouzi was the first to shout: "Brothers and sisters, go, kill this bastard!"

As soon as this person came forward, they all exploded, shouting and rushing towards Zhuge Kan, the killing sound shook the sky.

Liu Chang sighed: "I'm still too naive. If I encourage them when there is no chance of winning, I will be surprised if someone cares about me!"

Guan Ziyang smiled: "People are afraid of death!"
