"Huh... do you want to catch up?"
Tang Zhao looked at the sky in the distance. Even with his eyesight, there was only a black dot the size of a sesame seed at the end of his sight when he saw the man holding the head.
The monster ran away too fast. If I didn't chase it, I really wouldn't be able to catch it.
"Forget it. Firstly, we can't catch up, and secondly, we don't know what we are going to face if we catch up. We are at the end of our game and there is no need to take risks." The one who answered him was Deputy Chi. Although he was tired and out of breath, his condition was better than Xingji was a little better, he was resting on Bi An's belly, his eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't know if he had recovered.
At this time, the three of them and Zhou Chengzhi had run out of the Death Forest together and were resting by a stream in the normal mountain forest. They could still see the battlefield just now in the distance.
The three of them were all in average condition, Tang Zhao was in better condition, Deputy Chi was covered in smoke and smoke, and Xing Ji was still sluggish, but no one was injured, which was a great blessing.
Tang Zhao pondered: "Although something bizarre happened, I think the old man is indeed dead."
Deputy Chi nodded.
Although the movements after decapitation are scary, it is more like a desperate struggle, and death is irreversible. Just like the forest in front of me, although it is still going crazy, it is indeed withering.
If the death of the outer forest swept by forest fires was not obvious for a while, the decline of the most conspicuous towering tree was as if a building was about to collapse. The surrounding branches and leaves withered and fell first, the thick branches rotted and broke, and the bark of the trees cracked and peeled off like wall bark. It seemed that the last step of the thick and unreachable tree was about to collapse at any time.
The rapid death of this big tree shows that the source of power that supported it has died, and it has become a rootless tree.
At this time, Xing Ji weakly said: "Azhao is right. He is dead. But his sword intention should be based on life force, which is very evil. The life force is endless and can support a headless person. The body moves for a period of time. Just like some bastards or cockroaches, their heads are obviously gone, but they can still struggle for a while. But sooner or later, they will die. Just go back and report the truth directly to the king. He can't run out of Yunzhou in such a short time, and the body can be searched Got it. If someone collects his body first, more turtle bandits will be exposed."
Tang Zhao nodded and said thoughtfully: "Then where is he now?"
Deputy Chi pondered: "Anyway, he has no head, so he probably can't think anymore, right? He must have just run amok and gone wherever he goes."
"Or, what other obsession does he have that he instinctively wants to do before dying? For example, who does he want to see? Even though he can't see him, he still wants to die next to that person?"
Naturally, the three of them couldn't guess out of thin air. Deputy Chi suddenly thought of Zhou Chengzhi next to him and asked, "Do you know what the old guy's unfulfilled wish is?"
Zhou Chengzhi, who was as motionless as a clay puppet, suddenly grinned, revealing his strong white teeth. His eyes were bloodshot and he said, "I don't know. I won't tell you if I know."
Deputy Chi was not angry and said, "It's unnecessary for me to ask you. You can rest."
Zhou Chengzhi paused for a moment, and the blood in his eyes became even thicker, and he said, "I also want to know if he has any relatives or friends? If so, I will kill them all with my own hands so that he can die in peace."
Tang Zhao and Deputy Commander Chi looked at each other and both knew why he hated him so much.
It can be said that from the moment he saw the trees full of flowers, Zhou Chengzhi was no longer a die-hard turtle bandit. There may even be room for improvement in the future.
Of course, this doesn't mean that we have to win over him now. He hates Sheng Wubing now, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't hate the District Inspector. The obsession he has had for many years is not trivial. How can he reverse it in a moment? Even if there is a day in the future when you can let go of your hatred, it is not now, so you might as well figure it out slowly. Talking too much and too eagerly now may have the opposite effect.
But it can’t be too slow, otherwise a lot of information will be worthless.
Tang Zhao said to Xing Ji again: "That King Cheng is here with me, in custody, and alive. He is quite honest, I don't know if he is pretending."
Xing Ji continued to close his eyes and rest his mind, and said: "Okay. One of the three is dead and two are captured. This is a very good result. Go back and recover."
The three of them tidied up and cleaned the battlefield. Seeing that all the weird trees were dead, they put out the fire together, and checked for enemies and fire sources around them before taking the harvest and returning together.
This battle in which turtle bandits attacked Zhuoyu Villa lasted for several days and involved several fierce battles, and it came to an end at this time.
Hundreds of miles away.
The remaining veins of Jiugao Mountain are close to the Lingzhou side.
A young man is taking a picture of himself in front of the stream.
At this time, she was taking off her bun, letting her black hair hang down naturally, and taking a photo of herself in the water. She saw that her features were picturesque and her face was as radiant as snow. She was in her prime youth.
Looking at herself at the stream for a moment, she shook her head and said softly: "It's not time to go home yet." After saying that, she washed her face with water and used her hands as a comb to smooth her long hair and tie it into a man bun.
This girl is Pei Shoujing who came from Zhuoyu Villa.
She has not been home for more than three years since she was sent out by Xingji and ran into the turtle bandits. Although the family is also very boring, after all, there are relatives who have not been home for many years, and I miss them very much.
But she doesn't dare to go back now.
Although she had quietly escaped from anti-thief organizations like the Turtle Bandits with the help of Zhuoyu Villa, she could not guarantee that there would be no future troubles. She knew how powerful the turtle bandits were. And she had held an important position among the turtle bandits for several years, and she had met only one or two people. Although she didn't know her origins, what if she met an acquaintance on the street after returning home?
Whether the imperial court discovers that she was once one of the turtle bandits, or the turtle bandits discover that she is still alive, it is a big deal. Her small family in Heyang County cannot withstand such disasters.
From the moment she escaped, she was prepared not to return home for several years, or even more than ten years.
Yunzhou couldn't stay any longer. It was said that Lingzhou was in chaos, and there were bandits everywhere who were occupying the mountains and becoming kings. The court couldn't control them, so she went there to hang out for a while to see if she could stand on her own feet and become the leader of a large village for a few days. Even if you don't do anything harmful to nature, you can still do some shady business, do justice to heaven, and be as happy as you want. Isn't it wonderful?
As for strength, her martial arts have made great progress over the years, and besides... she can still be a sword wielder. In fact, the sword of power has always been in her hand. For fear of exposing her identity, she has been hiding it in a place unknown to others. Now she can take it out and take it away. With the sword of General Pei, her strength is not inferior to that of the swordsman, and she is enough to stand her ground.
Starting today, start wandering.
Just then, the wind sounded overhead. Something flew over.
Her eyes suddenly became sharp, and when she suddenly looked back, she was shocked.
She saw a headless person flying towards her holding a head.
Even in the past, Pei Shoujing was known for his calm and even dull temperament, and he was known as having a castle in his chest. At this time, he was so frightened that his legs became weak and he almost sat down in the stream. He pointed at the tone and shouted: "You... what are you? Something? You are not allowed to come over!"
The body didn't listen to her and fell to the ground in various ways. Her legs could still stand upright, but her body was stiff, as if a wooden stick was stuck on the ground. It was so shaken that it could no longer hold its head and fell to the ground and rolled over.
Pei Shoujing subconsciously jumped back, but when she saw the face of the human head, she lost her voice and said, "Shangzhu Kingdom?"
Although the head was dripping with blood and the features were ferocious, there was no doubt that it was Xia Shangzhuguo who had always taken care of her and promoted her.
It was already scary to see Shangzhu Kingdom, let alone Shangzhu Kingdom like this. Pei Shoujing spoke incoherently and said: "You... what's wrong with you? Why is it like this? Are you here..."
Are you here to kill me?
This idea came to her mind when she saw Shang Zhuguo.
Could it be that I was exposed and you came to clean up the door?
But then she knew something was wrong.
Shang Zhuguo's body, not even caring about his head, staggered forward, raised a hand, and stretched it out to her.
That was not the intention to catch her, but to seek help from her.
Pei Shoujing had mixed feelings for a moment and said hoarsely, "Are you here to find me?"
She mustered up her courage and stepped forward to meet him, touching the hand with her hand.
Shang Zhuguo's hand did not touch her, but dropped down, as if in response to her words. Then both hands worked together to take off a sword from his belt.
It was a green sword that seemed to carry endless vitality. It was also a famous sword among the turtles and even the imperial court.
Sword of Summer!
Even now, the sword is still very much alive.
But this vitality will soon be cut off with the death of the swordsman.
Unless someone can inherit it.
Shang Zhuguo held the sword like this and raised it to Pei Shoujing's eyes. Even though he couldn't speak and had no expression, there was no need to say anything about his entrustment.
This was supposed to be a great thing, but Pei Shoujing felt ashamed and sad. She shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, teacher. I'm sorry for you, and I don't deserve to hold your sword."
Seeing that Shangzhuguo had been holding his sword motionless, Pei Shoujing gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Now that things have happened, I can no longer hide it from you. I have never been a member of the Wei Dynasty. I don't agree with your organization, and I can't see it. I'm used to your behavior! The great cause of restoring the country is simply impossible. It's just the dream of those expired nobles! Teacher, you are not from Hutu, but you are doing Hutu things. If you continue like this, you will only seek your own death. You... …I’m leaving now and never coming back, so you can find another way to do it!”
She said all the words she had been holding back for several years, feeling happy in her heart. She reached out to hold Lao Zhuguo's hand and tried to push the sword away.
Pei Shoujing was shocked when she touched Shang Zhuguo's hand.
Already hard.
Shang Zhuguo's body has become stiff.
He is really dead.
There was no sound, no last words, a great hero of the Wei Dynasty just stood and died quietly.
Almost instantly, the sword that was still alive just now became mute.
The swordsman has passed away, and the sword has disappeared.
Pei Shoujing bit her lip, shook her head slowly, suppressed the emotions in her heart, slowly lowered Lao Zhuguo's body, and then picked up his head. At this point, she could never watch Shangzhu's body exposed in the wilderness, so she could only bury him first. Putting the body and head together, it is considered a complete corpse.
As for that sword, let it accompany——
As soon as her hand touched the sword, her eyes immediately straightened.
laugh--
The sword is three inches out of its scabbard.
Actually...really matched? !
