I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 171: Kill all those who are higher than the flat wheels

Shen Lang was right, it was indeed a halberd.

This is Xu Ziling’s short spear.

He had never used a halberd before, so he planned to keep it to play with.

But Song Yuzhi thought he was stabbed by someone.

"I just ran into Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. This is what I got from them." Shen Lang handed the list to Shen Luoyan, "Take a look and see if it's what you want."

Shen Luoyan flipped it open and took a few glances. After verifying that it was correct, he nodded and said, "It is indeed mine. Where are they?"

"Ran."

"You let them go?"

"I have a relationship with their godmother." Shen Lang said, "You know, I am a sentimental person."

Shen Luoyan said helplessly: "Okay, as long as the roster is back, I promise not to chase them for your sake. As for how they can pass the defense of the Shiji City, it depends on their luck. I will go and interrogate this guy first."

Just as he was about to leave, he turned back and whispered in Shen Lang's ear, "Those two guys are holding the secret of Yang Gong's treasure house. Should we take this opportunity to capture them?"

"No need." Shen Lang shook his head. "I am a man who values ​​my promises. Since I said I would let them go, I will let them go."

"You have the final say." Shen Luoyan nodded.

Shen Lang continued, "I'm going to take care of some things first. You take care of Yuzhi while I go upstairs to borrow some writing brushes and ink."

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy first." Shen Luoyan said.

……

After Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling escaped, they hurried to their hiding place. In addition to the two of them, there was also a woman named Susu, who was not only an old acquaintance of theirs, but also the person they rescued from Zhai Rang's mansion.

Although he successfully escaped from Shen Luoyan's mansion, it was not so easy to leave the city.

Right now, the three of them are hiding in their hiding place, thinking about how to escape.

Kou Zhong looked out the window and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Ling, who did you say was that guy who attacked upstairs?"

Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "How should I know? I didn't even know how he appeared at the time. It was as if he had always been standing next to me. I didn't even know how he attacked before I was subdued. But the situation was very dangerous at the time. If he hadn't appeared, I would probably have been killed by the assassin."

Kou Zhong frowned and said, "That's strange. Could he have been waiting for us there all along? But no matter what, we have escaped from Mrs. Shen's clutches."

Su Su next to him said, "But we haven't escaped yet. With the army searching, it won't be easy for us to escape. If that doesn't work, just run away on your own and don't worry about me."

Kou Zhong smiled and said, "Sister Susu, don't overthink it. It seems the Wagang Army isn't that powerful. At least they haven't been able to do anything to us yet."

Su Su said angrily, "Xiao Zhong's worst quality is that he's easily complacent. It won't be too late to be proud of himself after escaping the city!"

Xu Ziling said, "Mr. Zhong, to be honest, ever since we left Yangzhou, we've been living a life of escape day and night. Sometimes I really wish I could find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to settle down and live a peaceful life."

Susu excitedly discussed what kind of place would be ideal to live in.

After a while, Kou Zhong asked about Yang Xuyan's martial arts, and Xu Ziling told him in detail.

Still with lingering fear, he said, "This man's internal energy has reached the level of being able to control it at will. Not only can he release Qi from the tip of his sword, but it can also be divided into thousands of strands, generating a variety of pulling forces, which makes it impossible for me to perform at my usual level."

Kou Zhong pondered, "This is indeed very interesting. But if he can do it, we should be able to do it too."

Su Su asked curiously, "Didn't you even see his appearance clearly, Xiao Ling?"

Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "This is even stranger. The place where he and I fought was dark and dark, but I could see sword light everywhere. Plus, his body movements were as fast as a ghost, so I couldn't even tell his height, weight or body shape."

Kou Zhong clapped his hands on his thigh and said, "I understand. Try pressing your eyeballs with your fingers, and you'll soon start to see stars. Yang Xuyan must be using this principle to create pressure on your eyes with his sword energy, causing you to have these hallucinations. Ah! This kid is quite impressive."

Xu Ziling nodded and said, "Perhaps that's true, but his sword is even more terrifying. It misses even when it's supposed to hit, and when it does hit, it slips away and can't be blocked. No wonder so many powerful figures have met their end at his hands."

Then the topic changed, "But there's something even scarier that you haven't discovered, Young Master Zhong."

"what?"

"There was no light in the attic at that time. How did you see clearly when you went upstairs and found the person who restrained me? The one we met when mother was dying?" Xu Ziling asked seriously.

Kou Zhong sighed, "It's strange to say, it was indeed pitch black at the time, but I could see his face clearly, as if a light was on. Now it seems that this guy is indeed very capable."

"You didn't see him yell. The sword you threw was instantly broken." Xu Ziling still felt a lingering fear when he mentioned this incident. "This man's martial arts skills are truly unfathomable."

Su Su suddenly said, "Then why did he let you two go? If there were such powerful people helping to search, how would we escape?"

Hearing this, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After a while, Su Su continued, "I don't know martial arts, and I'm just a burden. You don't have to worry about me. Just run as far as you can."

Suddenly a voice came: "Run? How far can you run?"

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong's expressions changed drastically.

With their eyes and ears, they had no idea how the other party discovered them or when they arrived.

Su Su asked in shock, "Who?"

"They say he's a very accomplished person." Shen Lang walked out slowly. "With me here, where can you three escape to?"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were both secretly frightened, fearing that the other party would kill them.

Looking at the trembling Susu, Xu Ziling asked, "Your Excellency, are you going to kill the three of us?"

"Kill you?" Shen Lang shook his head. "What hatred do you have against me?"

He is not a bloodthirsty person, nor is he a murderer who kills everyone he sees. Only those who have a grudge against him will die at his hands.

Kou Zhong said, "Aren't you from the Wagang Army?"

"I have no interest in killing you," Shen Lang said. "Fu Jun'er risked her life to save you from Yu Wenhuaji that day. If I had killed her with one blow, wouldn't her efforts have been in vain?"

Upon hearing this, both of them were shocked at the same time.

"You're lucky this time, because of Fu Jun'er." Shen Lang said, and then asked: "What is your relationship with this woman?"

Su Su said sadly, "I was sold to the Zhai family when I was young. I once met them by chance on the road and was saved by them. Later, when the Zhai Mansion was in chaos, they also rescued me. If you are a hero for the people of the Zhai Mansion, at most I will go back with you, a good man. But please don't hurt them."

Kou Zhong said, "Sister Susu, don't say anything. With Master Ling and I here, no one can touch a hair on your head."

Xu Ziling also said: "Yes, even if our martial arts skills are not as good as yours, we will never let you hurt Sister Susu's hair."

Shen Lang said: "Let's go, I'll take you out of the city."

Hearing this, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong exchanged a glance. Xu Ziling suppressed his ecstasy and whispered, "Are you really going to send us away?"

Shen Lang sighed, "It only takes one palm strike for me to kill you, believe it or not."

"Okay, we'll go out of the city with you." Kou Zhong said immediately, squatting down again, "Sister Susu, I'll make a car for you."

Susu said nothing, stood up and leaned on Kou Zhong's back, feeling a touching sense of security and warmth in her heart.

They were just two people who met by chance, but suddenly they became brothers whose relationship was thicker than blood.

They put her first in everything.

No matter how bad the situation is, I will never hesitate and never back down.

Now they are sharing hardships together, and you can imagine how touched she is.

Along the way, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were both worried that the other party would go back on their word.

In addition, the occasional shouts of searching and barking of dogs around them made the two of them extremely nervous.

But unexpectedly, under this person's leadership, the three of them easily left the city.

Kou and Xu silently started to use their skills, following behind Shen Lang. Soon they left Xingyang behind in the confusion of wind and snow.

Shen Lang stopped at the top of a hill.

"You will have to walk the rest of the way on your own." He looked at the three men and returned Xu Ziling's short spear to him.

Xu Ziling thought carefully and bowed solemnly, "Thank you for your escort, Excellency. I'd like to know your name."

"Shen Lang."

"So you are the Shen Lang who subdued Ouyang Xiyi and Ba Fenghan." Kou Zhong suddenly realized, "No wonder your martial arts skills are so strong."

Shen Lang asked, "Where are you going next?"

Standing in this silent white field, the three of them felt lost as to where to go.

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong exchanged glances before saying, "Mother was killed by Yu Wenhuaji. We are going to seek revenge on him."

"That's right, repaying kindness and revenge." Shen Lang nodded slowly, and then said, "But what if I say Fu Jun'er is not dead?"

"Impossible!" Kou Zhong said immediately, "We saw with our own eyes that mother died in our arms. How could she not be dead? Right, Master Ling?"

Xu Ziling also said doubtfully: "Yes, we saw it with our own eyes."

"I said I would save her, so she is still alive now." Shen Lang said.

"Then where is she now?" Xu Ziling asked immediately.

Shen Lang said, "Of course she'll wander around if she's alive. How can I possibly tie her up? It's such a big world out there, how would I know where she's gone? Maybe she's gone to take care of her pregnancy."

"Nurturing the fetus?" Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong exclaimed at the same time.

"Isn't it strange?" Shen Lang glanced at them. "After rescuing her, we consummated our marriage. If you don't believe me, why don't you go back and dig up her grave?"

"This, this..." Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong looked at each other in surprise.

Shen Lang said, "She once placed great hopes on you. I sent you out of the city so that you would not disappoint her expectations. Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong, I helped you escape from Xingyang. Shouldn't you repay this favor?"

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong nodded subconsciously.

Shen Lang asked again: "Do you think this world is very big?"

The two of them didn't know why he asked this, nor why he changed the subject, but they nodded honestly.

Shen Lang shook his head and took out a piece of paper.

"Open your eyes and see the world. This world is more than just the small piece of land in front of you." He pointed to the pattern on the paper. "This is the territory of the Sui Dynasty. This is the territory of the Turks. Although it is divided in half, it is still the territory of the Turks. This is the territory of Goryeo."

The three of them remained silent, waiting quietly for his next words.

Shen Lang asked again, "Did you witness the chaos and devastation of the people on your journey?" Although Kou Zhong didn't know why he asked, he nodded and said, "Yes, the Sui army is worse than beasts. Not only did they burn the entire town, they also killed everyone and raped the women!"

"Indeed, we have seen many places reduced to scorched earth, with people and animals slaughtered." Xu Ziling continued, "I wonder why you ask this, Senior?"

Shen Lang suddenly blew a gust of strong wind onto Susu.

Susu didn't make any sound, her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong were shocked.

He quickly leaned over and asked, "Sister Susu, what's wrong with you?"

"You killed Sister Susu?"

"I'm just making her unconscious for a while." Shen Lang said, "Don't worry, because what I'm going to say next is not suitable for her to hear."

After confirming that Susu was not in danger of life, Kou and Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Lang pointed to a worm-like pattern on the paper and said, "This place is called Waguo. Their methods are even more heinous than those of the Sui army. They burned, killed, and looted, and spared no one, from women in their sixties and seventies to girls as young as four or five."

His eyes sparkled and the smile was gone from his face.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at him, but saw a mysterious expression on his face, and the light in his eyes seemed to become seductive.

Shen Lang continued, "Those beasts in Japan not only used brutal methods like mass shooting, burying alive, hacking with swords, and burning to kill hundreds of thousands of people in China, they even used poison and other unacceptable methods, and they still refuse to admit their crimes."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong recalled what they had seen along the way, and murderous intent suddenly surged in their hearts.

They had thought about joining the rebel army before, but once they went to a small village and were about to ask someone for directions, they suddenly heard the sound of hooves and a group of horses rushed down the hillside. The two were startled and quickly hid in the nearby grass.

This group of about sixty cavalrymen were clearly rebels as soon as their disorganized samurai uniforms were seen.

Everyone wore a green scarf on their arms. As soon as they entered the village, they shot and killed a few dogs that rushed out. Then they searched every house and drove out more than a hundred men, women, young and old in the village.

In a moment, chickens and dogs were running around, and people were calling for their children and their mothers, crying and wailing, which was so deafening that the two men could not bear to watch.

The Green Scarf Army divided the men and women in the village into two groups and surrounded them to prevent anyone from escaping.

One of them seemed to be the leader of the rebel army. Flanked by four close followers, he rode up to the pile of village men, picked out the strong ones, and drove them aside. Others tied them together with ropes, appearing to be extremely brutal and cruel.

If anyone resists, the horse whip will be whipped down immediately and they will be beaten half to death.

The two people's faces turned pale, but they were inexplicably angry.

When the mothers and wives saw their sons and husbands being taken away to do forced labor, they let out cries and howls that were unbearable to hear.

However, those so-called volunteers all looked ferocious, had no compassion at all, and harassed women.

Only then did the two realize how foolish and naive the idea of ​​joining the rebel army was.

"If you join the ubiquitous uprising, you will only become pawns in someone else's army. Why not go here and avenge the humiliation suffered by the Chinese people? And achieve unparalleled feats, so that the world will remember your names."

Kou and Xu felt their whole bodies boiling with excitement and nodded involuntarily.

Shen Lang said, "You owe me a favor, and now is the time for you to repay me. This place is very close to Ryukyu. After I arrange for Fu Jun'er to meet you, I will ask Madam Dongming to arrange for you to go to Ryukyu, and then you can go to Japan."

"This hatred is something no one can forget, and it must not be forgotten. Therefore, we must fight tooth for tooth, eye for eye, and kill, burn, and rob them all, leaving no land but human lives behind."

Kill the enemy before he can make a move.

Instead of waiting for those devils to take action and then retaliate.

The right thing to do is to nip the danger in the bud.

Kou and Xu listened to him repeatedly mention these evil deeds that were intolerable to heaven.

He nodded slowly and said, "We must take revenge!"

"Do you know how the Turks dealt with enemy prisoners?" Shen Lang asked.

The two of them shook their heads in confusion.

Shen Lang said, "They would make those half-grown children stand in front of the wheels of the carriage and kill anyone taller than the wheels. But we can't use this method to deal with those Japanese beasts."

"What to do?"

"Put the wheel flat, and kill any male taller than the wheel!" Shen Lang said, "With your martial arts skills, this is easy to do. Do you have confidence?"

Kou Zhong's face was filled with excitement as he shouted, "We can definitely do it!"

Xu Ziling followed up, "We must avenge this blood debt."

"You are not allowed to teach any skills or knowledge from the Central Plains when you go there. You don't need to take any prisoners. All you need to do is kill any male taller than the flattened wheels!" Shen Lang asked, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"clear."

"clear."

"Very good, you will definitely be mentioned in future history books." Shen Lang said, "Go settle your sister Susu first, and then meet me in Luoyang. I will make all the arrangements for you. Remember not to reveal these things to anyone. You have a disguise in your arms, so remember to disguise yourself. Let's go."

"Go to Japan, where I need you to go."

Xu Ziling nodded, put Susu on his back, and left with Kou Zhong.

Shen Lang stood there and watched them leave. Although he was a martial arts master, he was unable to handle many things.

You can let these two go over there and kill a few first.

After the killing, you can let them go around North America again, erect a monument, and write on it: Wherever the sun and the moon shine, wherever the rivers flow, all is Han territory.

Kou and Xu walked for a long time. Although their internal energy was still strong, their four legs made of flesh and blood were extremely tired. They took the opportunity to rest on a small hill covered with towering spruce trees.

Just then, Susu woke up slowly, and the two of them finally put their minds at ease.

Kou Zhong laughed heartily and said, "Finally escaped!"

Su Su asked, "Do you know the person who saved us?"

Xu Ziling said, "We've only met once, but no matter who he is, he's definitely not our enemy."

"Yes, if it was our enemy, we would definitely not be able to escape. Besides, mother is still alive, it's great." Kou Zhong followed.

Susu was stunned, but she didn't know what had happened to Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

Xu Ziling asked again, "Should we go directly to Luoyang? Or should we return to our hometown of Yangzhou first?"

Susu bowed her head and said firmly, "Let's go back to Yangzhou!"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged glances and whispered to Susu, "We're going to Dongdu just to see our mother, not to look for Big Brother Li Jing."

Su Su shook her head resolutely and said, "If you want to go, go by yourselves!"

Xu Ziling supported Susu and said, "Of course we will listen to Sister Su."

He then rebuked Kou Zhong, "Is there anything more important than harming Yu Wenhuagu and seeing my mother? The longer the night, the more dreams you will have. This delay will only lead to more trouble. Can you bear the consequences?"

Kou Zhong raised his hands in surrender and said, "I was wrong! Hey! Which direction is Yangzhou?"

Xu Ziling was stunned and said, "Didn't you calculate the direction before heading out? How can you be so clueless and claim to be well versed in geography?"

Seeing that the two of them were about to start arguing, Susu shook her head and said, "Stop arguing! If we head northeast from here, we'll eventually reach the Tongji Canal. Then, we can just take a boat south, passing Junyi, Songcheng, Yongcheng, and Xiaqiu, and arrive at Yutai. Then, heading east, we'll enter the Kangou and head south to Jiangdu. How simple."

Kou Zhong blushed and said, "It turns out that the most powerful ones are all Sister Su."

Su Su chuckled and said, "It's not that my sister is amazing, but that's how she traveled south with the young lady back then."

Xu Ziling asked curiously, "Why does Sister Su suddenly seem so overjoyed?"

Su Suxia blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How can I be particularly happy? I'm hungry. Do you two brothers have anything to eat?"

Kou Zhong helped Su Su up and said, "Then let's first find a town to treat this incurable disease of hunger. Now let me be Su Su's mount."

Xu Ziling protested, "You know how to compete with me for enjoyment."

Su Su's pretty face flushed red as she said, "It turns out both of my brothers are bad guys."

Xu Ziling fumbled in his arms, trying to see how much money he had left, but he didn't expect to find a lot more things in his arms.

When he took it out and looked, there were a few gold bars, a few copper coins, and a bag of things wrapped in cloth.

After opening it, I found fake beards, fake eyebrows, fake hair and other things inside.

Kou Zhong took a look and suddenly realized, "This is something to disguise us so that no one can find our whereabouts."

"Yes, change your appearance first." Xu Ziling said immediately.

The three of them changed their appearance and dressed up simply before continuing on their journey.

Seeing the three people walking away.

Shen Lang turned and walked towards Xingyang, but after walking for a while, a tall and majestic figure emerged from the forest.

This man was about thirty years old, with a long and narrow face, particularly broad shoulders, a very thin waist, and long hair draped over his shoulders, giving people an unforgettable impression at first sight.

Moreover, his eyes are narrow and vicious, his nose is like an eagle's beak, and his lips are extremely thin, giving people the impression that he is heartless and disloyal.

The two were about three meters apart.

He said sinisterly, "Are you the Shen Lang who caused Dugu Ce to fail in Yuhang? I am Dugu Feng's only biological brother, Dugu Ba, and I serve..."

Before he could finish his words, Shen Lang, who was originally three meters away, suddenly appeared in front of him and slapped him on the chest.

"puff!"

Blood spurted out of Dugu Ba's mouth. He raised his palm to fight back, but found that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.

The opponent's seemingly soft palm actually ended his life.

"You are about to die. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, I will definitely tell the Dugu clan."

"I...I have..."

Before he could finish his words, Shen Lang slapped him on the forehead.

"I was afraid you had no wishes. Since you have unfulfilled wishes, then die with your eyes open."
