Chapter 33 Chapter 29 The Flames of Vengeance

With the addition of captives from Tulun City, the number of people and livestock in Jianzhou Zuowei increased by several hundred at once. With more manpower, it is much more convenient to do many things. Therefore, some ideas of Nurhachi began to gradually increase. accomplish. First of all, he commanded these people to renovate the gate of Hetuala City, where the Zuowei of Jianzhou was located. , but also because of its age, it has become "old-fashioned". Although it has been repaired several times over the years, the results are not very satisfactory because of small-scale repairs; Major renovations.

So, from cutting trees in the mountains, transporting them, to erecting trees as fences, he led all the people to be really busy for a long time. I have seen the Shenyang City of the Han people, the solid city wall built of bricks, tiles and stones, the towers several feet high, the thick city gates, and the broad royal roads. The city gates, towering towers, and the "city" covered with mud and grass are simply incomparable; however, apart from the occasional feeling in his heart, he is still busy and working optimistically and actively. In the dead of night, the voice in his heart would sound clearly, reminding him: "One day, the city of the Jurchens will be as strong and tall as the city of the Han people."

Occasionally, he would go further and think: "Not just the city—food, clothing, housing, and use—everyone who is behind the Han people must catch up and be as good as them!" After staying in Li Chengliang's house for six years, he knows more about the Han people than the average Jurchens; the material civilization, cultural development, and even the country's scale and social system of the Han people are inferior to the Jurchens—even though the average Jurchens The real person refused to admit it, but it was the truth. "If you don't admit it's just a dead duck with a hard mouth, what can you do?" Regarding these, his heart is clear, and he has already figured it out: "If you are inferior to a human being, you are inferior to a human being. The facts are in front of you—it is better to open your heart early. , learn his strengths well, and win him in the future; otherwise, you will never be as good as others..."

Thinking of this level, his blood was burning again, inspiring his spirit and will, making his emotions even higher, and even making the people around him highly infected. In this way, building a city My work went very smoothly unconsciously. However, the ruthless blow never seems to have forgotten him, and he doesn't know when it will quietly fall on him... First, he inadvertently overheard a few captives from Tulum City chatting casually while working; these few were originally Nikanwailan's subordinates with higher positions, and what they were talking about casually was some Nikanwailan's Gossip, especially about how Nikan Wailan was treated by Li Chengliang when Nurhachi attacked Tulun City this time; several people kept guessing where Nikan Wailan offended Li Chengliang, and suddenly, a person Sighing, he said: "Uncle Ning Yuan's heart is cruel enough, don't say he doesn't save Tulun City, the whole city of Tulun City is full of Jurchens, he won't take any of them to heart - I heard that he always When you lose your temper, even your wife and daughter will be hacked to death with your own hands!"

Another said: "Yes, I heard that they are all beautiful women like flowers and jade. Heh, how can he do it?" The third person interjected: "Didn't he cut the daughter with his own hands? I heard that she committed suicide. It seems that she committed suicide or hit a pillar..." Hearing this, Nurhachi's entire face turned pale, so pale that there was no blood at all, and the two rows of teeth gritted; then, his face gradually turned red, and under the flames of anger, From reddish to bright red to blood red to purple, and his eyes were completely red; then, he suddenly turned around and walked away. The people around him were working, so no one paid special attention to him.

He strode to the tree where the horses were tied, untied one of the horses, turned over and jumped onto the horse's back. Then, he swung the whip vigorously, and the horse under his crotch immediately galloped away; The sand rose with it, and the wind filled the sky, but he didn't notice it, he just subconsciously kept waving the whip and galloping the horse. The wind whistled in his ears, but the volume was far less than the roar in his heart: "Godmother——Xue'er——Li Chengliang..." "Li Chengliang—you killed my grandfather, father, stepmother, wife and children—I will never live with you!"

The roar surged in his heart like an avalanche, like a sky crashing and an earth cracking, like a symphony of thunder and lightning, like the beating of thousands of war drums—the sky is mysterious and the earth is yellow, the universe is wild, his heart shattered the chaos in grief and grief; Whip, his men are galloping forward like arrows on the horse... The second wife and Xue'er, who are always grateful and thinking about him, have been separated from him forever - he had expected that they would be punished a little bit, but he never imagined that they had already paid so much for him. s life……

"Godmother, Xue'er—you all died for me—Li Chengliang—you and I are inseparable..." The anger in his heart was burning fiercely, and the kind and kind face of the second lady and Xue'er's sweet and gentle smile kept floating before his eyes. The horse under his crotch was galloping aimlessly, but the whip in his hand seemed to be flying To vent the grief and anger in his heart; like this, after running for an unknown amount of time, the horse under his crotch was exhausted, and after a long hiss, his front feet knelt down on the ground. Only then did Nurhachi let out a breath, got off his horse, and looked up, he was in a forest, and there was no one around, and there was no sound except his own horse's panting.

However, the anger in his heart was not calmed by this burst of galloping horses, let alone being in such a peaceful and serene forest. On the contrary, a cavity of anger surged in his chest, making his whole body It's all going to burst into flames. Suddenly, a roar came out of his throat, he jumped up, rushed forward, and swung his fists. He kicked and beat the tree trunk desperately, punching as hard as a punch, wishing to knock down every tree trunk. A solid and thick tree——I don't know how long I've been beating like this, the skin on his hands has already been torn, and a lot of blood came out, but he didn't feel any pain, and he kept beating the tree until he heard The shrill neighing of the horse reached his ears, and he felt something strange in his heart, so he stopped punching to check what happened.

It was his horse who neighed—as expected, something happened. As soon as he raised his head, his eyes saw a tiger with colorful patterns in the woods, rushing from far to near like the wind. At this moment, Nurhachi's heart felt cold, and his mood immediately calmed down; he was alone in front of the tiger, so of course he couldn't take it lightly; moreover, his horse was tired and frightened, and he had no ability to run wildly. There is no other choice. He didn't bring any bow and arrow weapons with him, only a small dagger was hidden in the boot. He thought about it and immediately reached out to touch it. Fortunately, it was still there, and he immediately planned Zhanhu's idea in his heart; In a moment of thought, the tiger had already arrived in front of him. With a roar of "Huh...", its whole body jumped up, and it jumped down from mid-air, grabbing Nurhachi with its two paws.

Fortunately, Nurhachi has rich hunting experience, is familiar with the habits of tigers, and knows how tigers attack people. Therefore, although he is in the extremely dangerous situation of being attacked by tigers, he does not panic in his heart. Jumping and dodging, he escaped the tiger's attack; the tiger couldn't catch him a few times, so he roared and sped up his movements, suddenly swiping his tail, suddenly pounced on his paws, and the fierce light in his eyes became more and more fierce. Bi Lu, the roar became louder and louder. Nurhachi dodged back and forth at first, ready to see the opportunity before attacking; however, the tiger pounced for a long time, but got nothing, and was enraged, and exerted even more strength, pounced on nothing, and clawed on the ground It was a big hole, which caused dust and fallen leaves to fly around, affecting Nurhachi's sight, so it was not easy to seize the right time to make a move, so he had to continue jumping between trees to dodge its attack. Suddenly, Nurhachi stopped dodging and jumped behind the tiger. The tiger also noticed that he was behind him, so he pressed his front paws on the ground, turned his body around in the air, and grabbed the person; Hey, Nurhachi suddenly squatted down, curled his body into a ball, rolled over, and rolled under the tiger's belly. The dagger in his hand was inserted into the tiger's belly immediately, and then quickly rolled out to the side to avoid being hit by the tiger's tail. Who would have known that this tiger was very brave, and it didn't die immediately after being stabbed in the stomach. Rolled out from under its belly, before it could stand up, its claws had already arrived, so it had to dodge to the side in a rolling posture, but this time it was a bit slower, and a piece of flesh was grabbed by it on the left shoulder; Moreover, as soon as it pounced successfully, it pounced one after another, and Nurhachi had to roll and dodge on the spot. However, after all, the tiger had a dagger inserted into its belly, and after a few pounces, its attacking power weakened, blood dripped all over the ground, and its movements were also slow; Nurhachi then got the chance, turned over on the back of the tiger, and raised his fist , Punch and punch on the tiger's head. It wasn't until after a hundred or ten punches that the tiger stopped moving; Nurhachi also exerted all his strength, and as soon as he let go, his whole body collapsed and fell on the tiger, gasping for air. After panting for a long time, he bent down again. Get down, pull out the dagger, cut open the tiger's neck, gulp down twenty or thirty mouthfuls of tiger's blood, and take a few more breaths, and then regain some strength; looking up again, the sun is already a little dizzy I think it's getting late, and then I realized that it's been almost a day since I heard the bad news about the second lady and Xue'er. I'm afraid everyone can't find him, and I'm about to start worrying now up! "It's time to go back!" He smiled bitterly and said to himself: "There are still a lot of things to do. Only when they are done, can we hope to seek revenge from Li Chengliang!" As he said that, he got up and went to lead the horse. Who knew that when he got up, he realized that his hands and feet were so weak that he could hardly walk a few steps; Excessively tired first, and overly frightened, he seemed to be a little sick. Thinking of the hard-won horse, he had no choice but to walk home with it instead of riding it, not to mention its carcass, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth. , took a full breath first, and carried the tiger carcass onto his right shoulder in one fell swoop, led the horse with his left hand, gritted his teeth and moved forward. "We have to hurry up, otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of the forest once it gets dark!" He seemed to be talking to the horse, and he seemed to be talking to himself, but after that, he couldn't help but gasped in his heart. It turned out that when he came, because he was emotional, sad and angry in his heart, he galloped wildly like venting, he didn't pay attention to the direction at all, and he didn't know where the woods he was in now, but how could he find his way back? He was dumbfounded all of a sudden, his legs went limp, and he almost fell down; he finally managed to hold on, and then forced himself to calm down and think of a way. Finally, he thought of it: "The Han people say, the old horse knows the way--horse, this is up to you, you go back along the way we came, go back to our home! Ah-ah! You originally It’s a horse captured by Tulun City, so don’t go back to Tulun City—that’s okay, once I get to Tulun City, I will know the way back to Hetuala!” So, he let go of the rein, let the horse walk freely, and followed behind him; who knows, once the horse was "free", it stopped in place and did not move at all; fortunately, Nurhachi practiced riding and shooting diligently since he was a child, and was familiar with the nature of horses , it is not difficult to find a way to make it walk, and after a little effort, it will start on the road. But even so, the man and the horse walked around the woods for a long time before they got out of the woods; when they got out of the woods, it was already dark, Nurhachi held his breath, recognized the direction, and continued to walk. However, before he took two steps, he could vaguely hear the sound of horseshoes in his ears. It seemed that someone was coming in his direction. The speed was not fast, and it took a while to see the figure; Nurhachi was full of longing to come It was an acquaintance, so he quickly opened his eyes wide, and carefully identified the person who came under the already dark sky. When the person got close and could see clearly, he found that the person who came was actually An Fei Yanggu! At this moment, he was astonished as if he had found a treasure in his heart, and immediately wanted to yell An Feiyanggu loudly; but unexpectedly, his heart was overjoyed, and the willpower that originally supported his superpower collapsed at once, and all the strength in his body collapsed. Nothing at all, and he couldn’t make a sound even when he opened his mouth wide; then, the dead tiger on his shoulder fell off his shoulder with a loud “snap”; He fell straight down.
