Chapter 3 Wild Rose (1)
"In the sky - down - rain, underground - flow -
Brother - My Heart - Li Yue - You You -
Alas--Hi--Le--You----You----
…”
After nearly a month of long journey, Luo Shiyin led Shi Lang, Xie Yuan, Shi Tianji and Du Heng to the Changbai Mountain area on the Sino-North Korea border. For the need for confidentiality, they did not take the official road this time. After nearly a month of time and night, everyone became familiar with each other. Walking on the forest path of Changbai Mountain, Shi Tianji, a Shandong man, couldn't help but yell at the tune he wrote.
"Brother Shi! You are just like your broken voice, and you still want to sing a song? Be careful to attract the female wolf!" "The Golden Dragon in the Wave" Du Heng said jokingly.
"What's wrong with my voice? I remember when I stood on the high slope and shouted, all the girls and wives in the village ran out of their homes..." Shi Tianji said with a show-off.
"Why are you running out?" Du Heng asked.
"Of course I ran out and listened to my singing!" Shi Tianji said.
"I don't think it's because I'm running out to listen to your singing, but because I'm going to beat you up!" Du Heng continued to tease Shi Tianji.
"Hahaha..." Hearing the two of them amused. Luo Shiyin, Shi Lang, and Xie Yuan next to them laughed loudly.
"Not to mention, Brother Shi's singing is indeed very penetrating and shocking!" Shi Lang also joined in and joined in the fun.
"It's still Brother Shi Lang who can speak, he's much better than that water ghost!" Shi Tianji smiled at Shi Lang happily.
"But..." Shi Lang deliberately kept it a secret.
"But what? Tell me out quickly!" Xie Yuan had guessed what Shi Lang was about to say and asked on purpose.
"But it shocked me so much that I just wanted to pee." Shi Lang said loudly.
"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter again.
"You kid are not a good thing either!" Shi Tianji found out that he was fooled and ran over and kicked Shi Lang, but Shi Lang turned around and avoided.
"Hey, Lao Shi, how did you come from the nickname "Pili Vajra"?" Du Heng asked.
Before Shi Tianji could answer, Luo Shiyin said: "Lao Shi was originally a martial arts master. A few years ago, the court had an attempt to reform the martial arts exam. The content of this reform mainly added the content of the exam. Specifically, the content includes: one exam, one exam is to take a arrow, step down arrow, knife, gun, sword, halberd, fist fight, stabbing, etc.; the second exam is to take the camp, mine, gunpowder, chariot and other items; the three exams are each based on their own military strategy, astronomy, and geography. Lao Shi participated in this martial arts exam. In the first exam, Lao Shi used a pair of iron eight-edged maces to sweep all referencers, and the first exam is the first. In the second exam, he performed well in his strengths in laying mines and using gunpowder to blast. The second game
The exam also achieved good results of first place. It is said that Lao Shi was asked to set up an ambush circle on a wilderness road with mines and explosives. He reasonably placed all the mines and explosives at each explosion point. The scene when the detonation was as spectacular as a thunderbolt, which made the examiner who watched the scene amazed. The examiner blurted out: 'It is really a pirate king!' From then on, Lao Shi got the nickname "pirate king". The third place exam was the weakest item of Lao Shi, who only achieved the 28th place and ranked the bottom among all referencers. In the end, Lao Shi was hired by the court with the seventh place in the total score and was arranged to serve as a captain in the Governor's Office of the Five Army in the Capital."
"I am a straightforward person and do not know how to adapt. Later, I was persecuted in the dispute between the court and was dismissed from office. Thanks to my friendship with the commander, he recruited me under my command when I had nowhere to go. Therefore, what I am most grateful to in my life is the commander. Even if I go through fire and water for him, I will never refuse."
"Old Shi, this is a harsh statement. The reason why I attracted you to the Jinyiwei Yamen was entirely out of my love for talent."
"I understand, this time, I recruited me into the Chaozhou team. This is my trust in me. I have nothing to say. I will do my best and follow your command."
"Haha, Lao Shi is actually like a child, it's rare, and it's rare." Luo Shiyin looked at Shi Tianji's serious expression and said jokingly.
Changbai Mountain in early summer is full of vitality everywhere. From time to time, unknown birds are startled by the footsteps of the five people, flying from the grass on both sides to the birch forest in the distance.
When approaching Shanhaiguan, Luo Shiyin received a report from the Jinyiwei stationed in Liaodong: Japanese spies were found in Liaodong. For safety reasons, the five people pretended to be merchants. They had not encountered any trouble along the way.
A forest land came in front of me, a typical birch forest in the northeast, with tall and thick trees. Walking in the forest, the dead leaves on the ground emitted a strong smell of mold.
"Will there be bandits in this wilderness ridge?" Shi Tianji couldn't stand the loneliness and said casually.
"Bandits? If there is really a situation, even if he encounters a few of us, he will be in trouble!" Du Hengliang lit up the back of the hidden weapon.
As soon as Du Heng finished speaking, a group of food-foraging grey magpies flew up from the treetops in the forest in horror and fled to the distance.
"Be careful, everyone!" Luo Shiyin stopped alertly and looked around.
"Yi————” After a long roar, more than a dozen savage men were swung down from the treetops. They held the rope tied to the tree with one hand and held the shaky machete in the other hand, and quickly chopped five people from the air.
"Crack!" Shi Tianji, who was walking in front, could not dodge and was stabbed heavily on his back. But he was not hurt at all. Instead, the knife in the hand of the man who cut him was knocked away and stabbed heavily on a birch tree ten meters away. It turned out that the knife was slashing on Shi Tianji's double maces in his backpack.
During this operation, the six people accompanied by Luo Shiyin were personally selected by Luo Shiyin. When the Ming Shenzong secretly ordered him to form a team, he clearly realized that this trip to Korea was not as simple as carrying out arrest, surveillance and other tasks in China. In terms of the candidates for forming a team, there were many experts in the Jinyi Yamen in the capital, and there were many candidates with higher martial arts skills than Shi Lang and Shi Tianji. However, the team that Luo Shiyin wanted to form must be unity for the members, and secondly, they must be absolutely loyal to themselves. He did not like to choose those who were too enthusiastic, even if he had high martial arts skills. He knew the men he selected. Most of these people were straightforward and upright, and they were all strong men who could defend the reputation of the Jinyi Guard and even the national honor at critical moments.
In terms of selecting weapons in the team, in addition to Shi Lang who was used to using the Xiuchun Sword, Luo Shiyin licensed Shi Tianji, Du Heng and others to carry the weapons they are good at using, without forcibly requiring them to wear the Jinyiwei's standard weapon - Xiuchun Sword. The main purpose of this operation was to penetrate deep into the enemy's backbone to spy and detect the enemy's situation. Xiuchun Sword, as a standard weapon of the Jinyiwei, sometimes carrying it with you, would invisibly expose your identity. At that time, the Ming army was equipped with a large number of various firearms.
As the personal guards around the emperor, the Jinyiwei was no exception. Officers at all levels were equipped with the most advanced continuous-firing raid with cranks in China at that time - the Wansheng Franchise. However, Luo Shiyin considered that this thing was not portable for a long journey, and he believed that it was sometimes not easy to use cold weapons in the enemy-occupied areas. Therefore, he did not let the accompanying team members carry it. However, in order to prepare for emergencies, Luo Shiyin still asked Shi Tianji to carry a certain amount of explosives.
"Your grandma!" Shi Tianji cursed loudly, turning around to find the man who cut him down. More than a dozen swordsmen did not attack again. Seeing that they missed the attack, they swept up to the treetops with their bodies and disappeared without a trace like monkeys.
"Your grandma's turtle bastard, come back and fight with your grandpa for 300 rounds!" Shi Tianji was cut, but although he was not injured, he was full of anger.
"Everyone keeps in formation and speed up their pace. Try to get out of this forest before dark! Luo Shiyin looked at the vast primitive forest in front of him and urged everyone.
The five people walked forward in a semicircular formation. Shi Lang and Shi Tianji walked in front, while the other three followed. The five people stopped talking and laughed like they had just now, and all walked vigilantly while observing the movements around.
"Sir, there seems to be a fight in front of you." Shi Lang walked, turned around and said in a low voice to Luo Shiyin.
Luo Shiyin bent down and listened quietly for a while. There was a sound of fighting, which came from behind the slope in front.
Five people climbed up the hill and lay behind the stones and looked down the slope.
There is a slightly wide open area below the slope, and the distance between trees is much further than that in the forest where the five people walked through.
On the tall birch trees in the open belt, a group of savage-like swordsmans were holding the ropes with one hand and swinging their bodies in the air. They besieged a woman in black with a knife. The woman was wearing a black tights and a pair of green fast boots. From a distance, she looked heroic.
Shi Lang was stunned. She had seen the woman's face clearly, and a complex expression immediately appeared on her face.
The woman was facing the successive killing of a group of big men and responded calmly. She used a rabbit to kick the eagle and slashed at one of her sword hands, and ran away from the other sword hands in the air. The two fell heavily from the air and lay on the ground and could not move. The woman then thrust a carp, and with her body reversed in the air, she used her palms to knock two close sword hands away ten meters away. Their heads hit the tree, and their brains immediately splashed. The other three sword hands were about to attack the woman from the tree at the same time, but as soon as their bodies flew away from the tree, their faces were hit by the stones kicked by the woman from the ground. The three screamed and fell from the air.
In the blink of an eye, the first wave of attacks of the knifemen was easily resolved by the woman.
The remaining knife hands on the tree stopped attacking. One of them stuffed his thumb and index finger into his mouth and blew a long whistle. The whistle fell, and accompanied by a violent shaking of branches, more than a dozen knife hands swept over the trees around the woman. They climbed ropes with one hand and the other with the knife, ready to launch a second wave of attacks.
"It's really despicable and shameless. We agreed to make peace with each other, but we betray each other and ambushed halfway. Let me tell you the leader of the village, we will never succumb to his tyranny!" The woman realized the seriousness of the situation, pulled out her weapons from her waist, pulled out her posture, and prepared to fight.
The moment the woman pulled out her weapon, a strange expression flashed across Luo Shiyin's face, who was lying on the hillside. He pondered for a moment and ordered: "Shi Lang, Shi Tianji, come and help that woman."
"Yes, sir." Shi Lang Yingnuo said, jumped up, and rushed towards the woman in black down the slope at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing Shi Lang coming near, the woman opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Shi..."
"It is inconvenient for you and I to recognize each other at this time!" Shi Lang approached the woman and defended the opponent's attack back to back.
"Yeah!" The woman immediately understood it.
