Chapter 1099: The Legend of the Assassins
"In the past two months, Nanzhou, Linzhou, Yunzhou ......, these five states have frequent troop movements, our spies came to report, the governor of Nanzhou was temporarily appointed as the "hussar general", to gather the troops of the five states, to capture Cangzhou in one fell swoop. ”
Wei Liang stood in front of a huge sand table, around a sand dune with "Cangzhou" written on it, and he planted five flags.
He pointed to the middle one, drew a line with a branch, and said: "The troops that can be mobilized temporarily in these five states are about more than 20,000, and they have been secretly deployed for two months, and at most half a month, they will directly target Cangzhou......"
……
Li Yi stood outside the door, listened to the analysis of the battle situation for a while, and walked away slowly without any major accidents.
I thought that the counterattack of the imperial court would come very quickly, but who would have thought that he would go back for a year, and after two or three months, he took Ruyi and them to Cangzhou for vacation, and the other party was still in the process of dispatching troops.
Just adjust it, don't worry, more than 20,000 people, as long as this number is not expanded tenfold, Cangzhou will not be harmed.
After they captured Cangzhou a few months ago, they recruited a lot of people, and now the team has expanded to more than 10,000 people, during this time, Wei Liang and several people sent some elite soldiers to carry out systematic training for new soldiers, and when Li Yi went to the barracks again after two months, the army had a new look.
This joint attack by the five states is the determination of the Wuguo Imperial Court, and it is also a long-awaited opportunity for them.
Xu Zheng had already taken people to those states a few years ago, but because of the heavily guarded defenders in several states, there had been no big moves, so they could only develop secretly, and Miss Liu Er had already led people to subdue several rebel forces, and she had already set her sights on the state capital......
Everything is ready, just wait for them to call......
It's not everything, there are still a few scripts left, and the new play "The Legend of the Assassins" launched by Golan in Wuguo is coming to an end.
A state in Wuguo, a teahouse outside the state city.
"There are clouds in the history books: the assassination of the kings and bureaucrats, the comet strikes the moon; Nie Zhengzhi's assassination Han puppet also, white rainbow through the sun; If you want to leave the thorn Qingji, the cangying struck the palace......"
In the humble teahouse, an old man with a gray beard sat at the front, his voice was muffled, "In ancient times, some powerful assassins, when they were in action, there were even celestial warnings, and it is rumored that when they were dedicated to assassinating the king of Wu, the tail of the comet swept over the moon; When Nie Zheng assassinated Han Puppet, a white light rushed straight into the sun; When it was time to assassinate Qingji, the goshawk pounced on the palace ......, these three are the three assassins we are going to talk about today. ”
In the teahouse, although it is not overcrowded, it is also full.
There are ordinary people who are resting in the teahouse, and there are also chivalrous people with swords and knives, but most of them are people from the rivers and lakes who carry weapons, and they are all attracted by the stories told by the old man.
When he heard the joy, he would also take out a copper coin from his bosom and put it in a broken bowl in front of the old man.
The rivers and lakes and the temples seem to be far apart, but in fact, they are also very closely related.
What happens on the temple is closely related to the rivers and lakes, and once the temple collapses, the rivers and lakes cannot be left alone.
The martial arts are martial, whether it is the poor or the scholars, or even the powerful royal family, although they do not say that they value martial arts and ignore literature, but they are far inferior to other countries for the rejection and contempt of martial artists.
When the country was stable, there were still rangers who killed people on the street, but now the country is in chaos, and the water in the rivers and lakes, which is not very clear, has become even more turbid.
The so-called chivalrous and righteous men, relying on personal force, flouting the law, treating human life as a mustard, buying murder, offering rewards for assassin......ation, and repeatedly prohibiting them.
Because of Chongwu, he is naturally very interested in the stories of the rivers and lakes.
These days, the heroic stories that circulate in the state and storytelling restaurants are very popular in the rivers and lakes.
What this old man is talking about is "The Biography of the Assassins", which contains dozens of ancient and modern assassin stories, and it is not just a thin story of the chivalrous warriors, which may involve the righteousness of brothers, the love of men and women, and there is no shortage of chivalrous people, who are for the country and the country......
At the same time, among the martial arts rivers and lakes, there is also a list of assassins, and the records on the list are all famous assassin killers in the martial arts......
These things have been circulated in the rivers and lakes of the Martial Kingdom before, but no one has ever put these things together and made such a ranking.
There are ten rankings on the list, and there are only nine assassins, and no one knows who made this list, but the phrase that circulates with this list is almost universally known.
There are only ten positions on the assassin list, and only these ten people can be called assassins, and those who can't even make it to the assassin list are not assassins, but garbage!
The reason why only nine Assassins made the list was because the top spot of the Assassins list was empty, with only a small line of poetry.
"Zhao Keman, Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming.
The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star.
Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles.
Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name. ”
This is a poem describing chivalry, legend has it that there were many chivalrous people in the land of Yan Zhao in ancient times, and this poem describes the chivalrous demeanor of the land of Yan Zhao.
The hat is adorned with beards, and the sword of Wu Hook is as bright as frost and snow; The silver saddle and the white horse reflect each other, galloping like a meteor; Within ten steps, kill one person steadily, a thousand miles of passes, and do not stay; After the incident, he brushed his clothes away, without revealing a trace, and hid his name deeply.
This poem describes a chivalrous man or an assassin to the pinnacle.
Ten steps to kill one person, the previous one does not stay.
Brushed off his clothes and went to hide deep with his name......
This is the Assassin, the most advanced Assassin, according to the man who made the Assassin List, this poem, written for the top of the Assassin List, has been waiting, waiting for someone to get to that position, worthy of these verses.
As the old man spoke, many people in the teahouse had excitement on their faces.
The top of the assassin list is almost the greatest honor for a knight or assassin......
In the corner, two people were talking in a whisper.
"It is said that Princess Duanrong's bounty has increased by another 50,000, a full thirty-five taels of silver, if she can succeed, she should be qualified to be at the top of the assassin list, right?"
"There has never been such a high bounty, and if it can't, who else is eligible?"
"Cangzhou doesn't know how many people have gathered, and we have the same goal, so if we want to succeed, how easy is it to talk about?"
……
While the two were talking in a whisper, a laugh suddenly came from beside them.
"What the two of you said, when did the old Huang calendar ......" A man with a knife at the adjacent table turned his head to look at them and said: "On the bounty list, the highest bounty is one million silver, ten divine soldiers, can be favored by storytellers, help you become famous, can get the guidance of the grandmaster, and can also make you the top of the assassin list in one fell swoop------ you must not always pay attention to current affairs, right?" ”
In the corner, a person was stunned and said with a smile: "This brother, I'm afraid you're dreaming, a million silver, ten divine soldiers, and the ...... of the grandmaster's guidance, whose head is worth so much silver, you have met a charlatan, right?" ”
The other nodded and said, "Everyone knows that this Duanrong princess's reward was actually instructed by today's son, could it be that in this martial country, there are people who have more financial resources and are more trustworthy than the emperor?" ”
When the man heard this, he smiled and said: "If today's son is credible, the few thieves who were recruited by the imperial court and surrounded and suppressed Princess Duanrong will not disappear in the imperial capital......
The two were stunned when they heard this, and asked, "Then what you said, is there any evidence?" ”
"Those million silver taels, ten divine soldiers, have been verified by ten famous people in the rivers and lakes, you go out and inquire a little to know ......"
The two of them were still a little unconvinced, and said suspiciously: "In this world, whose head is so valuable?" ”
The man stretched out his hand and pointed to the heavens.
The two of them were stunned again, and then their colors changed at the same time, and one of them looked frightened, and asked, "Who has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to assassinate the emperor?" ”
"That's all for today." Ahead, the old man cleaned up the stall and said, "Tomorrow we will talk about Jing Ke's assassination of King Qin......"
He waved his hand below and said, "It's still the old time, it's still the old place, we'll see you there......"
