Chapter 4 fourth quarter
A huge iron spear weighing seventy-seven catties, the spear shaft as thick as a baby's arm is engraved with circles of non-slip patterns, the spear blade glowing black and blue is in the shape of a curved snake, and there are shallow pits for bloodletting on both sides.That overwhelming size and weight is itself a killing force.
Scythe held the iron spear tightly in both hands and pointed forward. The height of the spear tip was exactly the same as the sickle-shaped black scar on his forehead.The blade of the spear did not tremble in the slightest—to do this, not only relied on superhuman physical strength, but also required extremely focused mental strength.
The sickle froze like this, and the mind once again entered a state similar to meditation.The consciousness is still very clear, he is checking the state of every muscle in his body, he wants to make sure whether he has fully recovered.
In the night void in front of his eyes, the image of a man gradually appeared.In Lian Shou's eyes, it was a white figure without a face.
Sickle's heart beat faster, his stomach seemed to be stuffed with a piece of ice, his mouth was filled with a sour taste, his armpits were cool, his pupils dilated, and he stared closely at the illusory enemy.
The figure in front of him began to move.The figure didn't have a weapon in its hand, but slowly assumed a fighting posture exactly like the scythe.The face gradually became clear.Sickles saw who it was.
It was Kasame's own face.
"Fifth brother, how do you feel? Are you going well?" Yu Runsheng, who had been sitting next to him, asked.
Scythe woke up from the ignorance, he took back the iron spear, stuck it upside down on the ground, and the shaft of the spear was still shaking.
"Very good." Lian Shou picked up the cloth towel on the ground and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The iron spear was a gift from Pang Wenying. It was made by a craftsman in Dai Town, and it took two people to deliver it.Scythe's original weapons were left in the "old nest" and could not be brought.
"You... It seems that you haven't fully recovered..." Yu Runsheng stood up and stroked the terrifyingly huge weapon.
"I'm... fine." Lian Shou's voice trembled.Yu Runsheng had never heard of this before.
Yu Runsheng stared at Lian Shou's face. "Did you... think of anything just now?" Yu Runsheng was not worried about Lian Shou's physical condition, what he cared about was Lian Shou's mental state.He understands that this superficially simple heart hides a very complicated side inside.In the upcoming decisive battle, Lian Shou will be the key to victory or defeat. Yu Runsheng can't imagine what the consequences will be if Lian Shou fails to fight.
"No...what..." Lian Shou turned his face away. "By the way...how is the situation on Master Pang's side?"
"He has transferred 300 soldiers from the head office of 'Feng Yilong' in Kyoto. In order to avoid being noticed by the 'slaughterhouse', he is still stationed in Sangma, four miles away from Dai Town. The number of soldiers is not the biggest problem. What worries Pang Wenying now is the lack of generals in command. The loss of Tong Mucheng and Zuo Feng has cost him a lot of budget."
"Maybe he will send a group of troops to the boss to command you."
Yu Runsheng shook his head. "It's useless. I have no prestige in 'Feng Yilong', and I can't command his immediate staff. If I were him, I would promote Wen Sixi and Lu Xun to fill the vacancies of Tong and Zuo. Especially Lu Xun, his actual combat experience is no less than that of the 'Four Disciples', but doing so will definitely cause Huaquewu's dissatisfaction. But there is no other way, anyway, Huaquewu will not be of much use in this battle. This kind of recklessness is not suitable for him at all."
"But isn't Wen Sixi going to be Lord Pang's military advisor?"
Yu Runsheng smiled. "He has a better strategist in front of him."
Lian Shou looked at Yu Runsheng for a while, and suddenly understood.
That night, Pang Wenying was really troubled by the lack of commanders. "Xingyun Pavilion" is now closed and has become the headquarters of "Feng Yilong".The mayor of Dai Town has been bought by Pang Wenying with a lot of money. At present, the security power of the entire Dai Town has been brought under the control of "Feng Yilong".More than 500 children were closely guarded, and surveillance posts were set up around the town to prevent the "slaughter house" from attacking.In addition, several spies of Huaquewu are still hiding in Piaocheng to monitor the actions of the "slaughterhouse". Pang Wenying stared at a piece of paper on the table, which recorded the formation of the troops who counterattacked Piaocheng. With the addition of 300 people from the capital, the total number of "Feng Yilong" soldiers will reach 800. The biggest mobilization since the Capital Underworld War. At this moment, Huaquewu opened the door and came in. "Father..." Huaquewu's face was very tense. Pang Wenying cast a look of disgust at him.This adopted son disappointed him once again.After retreating to Dai Town, he discovered that Hua Quewu had embezzled public funds to buy salt goods privately—these private goods could not be shipped out, and he believed that they had been swallowed up by the "slaughterhouse".This incident caused Pang Wenying to lose his budget.The board and lodging of 800 people is not a small amount, and their income is close to zero after evacuating Floating City.Pang Wenying had no choice but to ask the capital for assistance. "What's up?" "Six...Sixth Master, he came in person..." Hua Que Wu said. "Resting in the guest room." Pang Wenying couldn't understand for a while, who the "sixth master" Huaquewu was talking about.He thought for a while, then suddenly slammed the table hard. "He's here? What's he doing here?" Pang Wenying hurriedly stood up, pushed Huaquewu out of the door. Standing in front of the guest room door, Pang Wenying was about to reach out to push the door, but suddenly hesitated, her palm was frozen in the air.He seldom hesitated in doing things in his life, but facing this person in the room at the moment, he always tried to be cautious. "Is it the second brother?" A voice came from the room. Pang Wenying pushed the door open.There were three people in the guest room, and the one who was sitting and drinking tea was the middle-aged scribe who watched the "slaughter house" sacrifice on Piaocheng Street this morning, and two burly attendants stood behind him. The scribe gently put down the teacup, and stood up very lightly and slowly, as if he was afraid that his clothes would be wrinkled if he was not careful.His long cloth shirt was indeed flat without a trace of wrinkle. "Second brother, long time no see." "Youngest, what are you doing here?" Pang Wenying's voice was a little hoarse. At the end of the "six cups of sacrificial wine" of the core leadership of "Feng Yilong", Zhang Shuai, nicknamed "Curse Army Master", did not answer immediately, but only slightly raised the corners of his mouth.There was a very moving confidence in that smile. "I heard that my second brother withdrew from Piaocheng, so I wanted to see for myself what was going on." Pang Wenying stroked her long silver beard with an indifferent expression. "I have my reasons. That's it?" Zhang Shuai nodded, then shook his head again. "Second brother, don't worry, Boss Han didn't send me here. I just want to see with my own eyes what second brother is thinking." "Is Boss Han's illness better?" "It's okay. It's okay." When Han Liang's health was mentioned, even Zhang Shuai couldn't help but put away his smile. "Second brother, are you... not afraid of being too risky?" "You don't need to worry about these, just watch as you like." Pang Wenying said impatiently. "I went to Piaocheng to see it this morning." Zhang Shuai picked up the teacup on the table, but didn't drink it, only staring at the broken tea leaves at the bottom of the cup. "In my opinion, nine out of ten people from the 'Slaughterhouse' will attack here." "Are you afraid that I won't be able to guard this place?" Pang Wenying laughed boldly. "I'm just afraid they won't come to attack!" "As expected of the second brother, I think so too. This is a good opportunity to annihilate the opponent's main force." Pang Wenying had expected that Zhang Shuai would answer like this.He knows the strategy he wants, and Zhang Shuai must also want it. "Is there nothing else to do? I'm leaving. You have a good rest." Pang Wenying turned around and wanted to walk out of the room. "I have one more thing to do this time." Zhang Shuai said suddenly. "I heard that the second brother suddenly accepted another student recently, and I'm very interested to see what kind of character it is." "He's not in Dai Town, maybe in a few days." When Yu Runsheng was mentioned, Pang Wenying suddenly regained his confidence.He looked back and looked directly into Zhang Shuai's eyes for the first time tonight. "You will see him." Zhang Shuai also felt Pang Wenying's emotional change.He thought to himself, this trip was not in vain.
