The man in black snorted coldly and looked at Yang Zhen, then at the many corpses lying on the ground. He said,"Today's matter has already failed. I'll let you live for now, and we'll regret it! Haha!" As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly jumped back.
"You want to run?" Yang Zhen shouted. It's not that easy! Niu San!" As he shouted, he chased after him. Niu San, who was behind him, put down He Ping and moved forward with his saber. He and Yang Zhen followed the man in black closely. The man in black ran forward desperately, but he could not shake off Yang Zhen and Niu San. Yang Zhen and Niu San chased after him, running for more than a mile in one breath. They saw that the man in black was still running very fast. "This guy's endurance is pretty good," Yang Zhenxin said."If we continue chasing him like this, how long will we be able to catch up?"”With a flash of inspiration, the long saber in his hand left his hand and was thrown towards the back of the black-clothed man.
The man in black was running in front. When he turned around, a long blade flew over from behind him. He was shocked and suddenly stopped. His upper body moved backward, and the long blade flew past his abdomen. It cut a long hole in his clothes and blood oozed out.
As the man in black dodged, Yang Zhen chased after him and threw a punch. The man in black had just stood up when he saw a fist coming at him and hitting his nose. The man in black felt a burst of pain. He covered his bleeding nose and wanted to run forward, but Niu San was already blocking him. The man in black collided with Niu San. Niu San stretched out his hands and firmly grabbed the man in black's shoulders. The man in black couldn't move.
The man in black wanted to resist, but who knew that Niu San's hands were like steel pliers. Then, he heard the crisp sound of bones breaking. His arm that was holding the knife immediately ached. His hand was weak, and the long knife fell to the ground. The black-clothed man's shoulder bone was broken, and he could no longer bear the pain. Moreover, the place where he was grabbed was still bearing the force, so he cried out. Yang Zhen said,"Niu San, don't hurt him!"
Only then did the black-clothed man feel that the force was not as heavy, but he still could not break free from Niu San. Niu San pressed him to the ground, one hand strangling his neck, and the other hand grabbing a long knife from the ground. The tip of the knife was pointed at him, and his eyes were wide open. Yang Zhen saw that the man in black was already injured. He walked up to him and pulled off the black cloth covering his face. His face was revealed. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked very young. "Brother, who are you?" Yang Zhen asked. I have no enmity with you. Who sent you to kill me?”
The man in black snorted coldly and turned his face to the side. Niu Sanjiang pressed the tip of his blade against the man in black's stomach and roared,""The general is asking questions! Why aren't you answering? Tell me, who sent you? If you don't tell me, I'll kill you!"
The man in black turned his face to Niu San and spat on his face. Niu San was very angry. He grabbed the man's neck and wiped the saliva off his face. Then, he raised his hand and slapped the man in black heavily on the face. Five finger prints appeared. The man in black revealed a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He glared at Niu San and shouted,"Hahaha! Come, kill me! What were they waiting for? Hurry up and kill me!"
Niu San placed his knife on the man's neck and said loudly,""You think I don't dare to kill you?"
"Niu San!" Yang Zhen shouted from the side," Don't be rash!”
Niu San suppressed the anger in his heart and lowered his voice to whisper into the black-clothed man's ear,""I'll let you live first. I'll torture you slowly later!”
Yang Zhen pulled Niu San up and stood in front of the man in black. He said,""You're a man, and your martial arts aren't bad either! It's a pity that you're going to die at such a young age. It doesn't matter if you die, but what about your parents? A real man should carry the Three-Foot Sword and make contributions on the battlefield. I see that you have a backbone and will definitely not be willing to die like this. As long as you tell me who sent you to kill me, I'll let you go immediately.”
Niu San heard this and called out,"General!" Are you really going to let him go?"
"Shut up!" Yang Zhen said.
At this moment, He Ping caught up from behind. Seeing that he was holding his arm, Niu San quickly went up and supported He Ping. "How is it?" Yang Zhen asked the man in black again. Think about it!"
"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. My mother will understand this." Just kill me!"
Yang Zhen stood up and laughed. He reached out with one hand and pulled the man in black up. He said in a clear voice,"I respect you as a man. I'll let you go today. I hope you can be filial to your mother in the future.”
The man in black was stunned for a moment. Niu San and He Ping shouted at the same time,"General!"
Yang Zhen made a gesture to stop Niu San and He Ping from talking. He said to the man in black,"Aren't you going to leave?"
The black-robed man was slightly moved. He cupped his fists at Yang Zhen and said,"Thank you for sparing my life, General.”After saying that, the man in black endured the pain and staggered away. At the same time, he shouted,"General, I will never forget your benevolence!”
Yang Zhen watched as the man in black gradually disappeared from his sight and sighed."What a pity! What a pity!"
"It is a pity!" Niu San said. He was unable to avenge He Ping!”
He Ping chuckled." It doesn't matter. It's just a superficial wound. That person's intention is General, not you and me." Besides, it was not a big deal for a soldier to be injured.”
Yang Zhen turned around and looked at He Ping and Niu San. He bowed and said,"Today, it's all thanks to the two of you being here. Otherwise, my life would have been in danger.”
Niu San said," You're our general. If we don't help you, are we going to help those people kill you?" If you really want to thank us, let me have a good drink when we get back tonight.”
"Brother Bull, you haven't drunk any wine these days. Are you bored to death?" He Ping laughed.”
" Of course," Niu San said." Don't even mention how uncomfortable it is."”
Yang Zhen smiled and said," Alright, let's go back today. We'll drink until we're drunk. All the brothers in the camp will get drunk together. How about that?"”
The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked back. They buried all the corpses one by one and packed all the weapons for Niu San to carry on his back, preparing to return to the camp. Suddenly, Niu San's eyes lit up. He picked up a token under the ridge of the field. The token was squarish and roughly carved with the word "Li" carved on it. Niu San touched it and looked ahead. Seeing that Yang Zhen and He Ping had already walked far away, he stuffed the token into his pocket.
Yang Zhen walked on the road and said to He Ping,"13 days ago, General Zhao asked you to protect me by my side. I thought it was a joke. I didn't expect that someone would really come to kill me today.”
He Ping said," The people who came today are all well-trained men of sacrifice. If it weren't for General's outstanding martial arts, it would be hard to say today."”
Yang Zhen smiled." My fate is decided by the heavens. If the heavens want me to die today, there's nothing I can do." He Ping, you often follow General Zhao, do you know who wants to kill me?”
"General, I really don't know. I'm only following General Zhao's orders."”
" I'm in the open," Yang Zhen said." The enemy is in the dark. If they didn't kill me today, they'll definitely send a second batch of people to kill me." It seems that we have to be careful.”
"General, you're absolutely right!" He Ping said.”
Yang Zhen turned around and looked at Niu San. Seeing that he was carrying a bag of weapons and following behind from afar, he shouted,""Brother Bull! Hurry up and leave! Otherwise, there won't be any wine to drink in the military camp!"
Niu San heard the shout from behind and replied,""If you dare not give me wine to drink, watch how I deal with you!”
"Brother Bull, have you used up all your strength?" He Ping chuckled. Why are you walking so slowly?"
Niu San ignored them and waved at them, indicating for them to go ahead. The scorching hot weather had dried up the land on this plain. The small ditches used for irrigation under the ridges could no longer play their role. Ten days ago, Yang Zhen, the commandant of the Dian Nong Army, ordered the 3,000 soldiers guarding Dujiang Weir to divide into groups of three. They were not assigned to the 800 miles of land under his jurisdiction to divert the water from Dujiang Weir to irrigate the farmland. In just ten days, Yang Zhen, He Ping, and Niu San had been together day and night, and they had developed a deep relationship. Niu San was from Langzhong, Brazil. He was a real brute. Not only was he strong, but he was also quite skilled. However, Yang Zhen had only just discovered Niu San's skills, and he regretted not meeting him earlier.
When it was almost evening, the three of them returned to the camp, followed by the rest of the soldiers. When all three thousand soldiers returned to the camp, Yang Zhen announced that the entire camp would drink for the night. The soldiers, who had long been exhausted from the drought, were all invigorated when they heard this order. The soldiers immediately became spirited and shouted,"General is mighty!"
As a result, Yang Zhen and all the soldiers in the camp drank to their heart's content. They did not rest until they were drunk, and the entire camp was in a festive mood. After He Ping finished bandaging the wound on his arm, he joined the party. He came to Niu San's side, picked up a bowl of wine, and toasted Niu San. Niu San picked up the wine and drank it. He Ping shouted happily and talked to Niu San about what happened during the day. He said to Niu San,"Brother Bull! I didn't pay attention to your reminder during the day and ended up with a knife wound. I also misunderstood your good intentions, so I apologize to you.”
Niu San laughed out loud." This is just a small matter. There's no need to take it to heart. Come, come, let's drink!"”
He Ping saw Niu San raise a bowl of wine to him and did not take what happened during the day to heart. He took the bowl of wine and drank it in one gulp. Niu San saw it and shouted,"It's my brother's. Drink two more jars with me!"”"Good!" He Ping laughed out loud. Brother Bull! Come, let's get drunk!"
Yang Zhen held a glass of wine alone and patrolled the camp. He toasted the soldiers guarding the camp and then returned to the tent. When he lifted the curtain, he saw that there was no one in the tent. He felt that it was very deserted, so he left the tent and drank with the soldiers again.
