Yin Chang stood up and took a few steps to meet him, then suddenly paused.
Because the people coming in from the outside are definitely not his two trusted subordinates!
Yin Changcai was a civil and military man with a high position of authority. In recent years, he had continuously promoted the southern conquest of the Song Dynasty and gathered considerable power. Therefore, his daily subordinates both respected and feared him.
When he was handling official duties in the courtyard, there was absolutely no noise outside. Even if someone came to report something urgent, he would subconsciously slow down a little when he arrived at the door. No matter who he was, how could he be so rude and say so in one breath? Rush in?
Because Yin Chang planned to discuss some secrets about northern military affairs with Xu Wende and Guo Zheng, he had already dismissed the irrelevant subordinates, and even the soldiers on duty at the courtyard gate were on leave. But the guards at the gate of the government office and everywhere were still there, and the foreman was still his confidant. This confidant had been specially instructed in advance. After seeing Xu and Guo, he led them through the corner gate and took a quiet side road to avoid attracting attention.
But now, the footsteps of this group of people don't sound cautious at all!
The visitor is not good!
Yin Chang suddenly became wary and shouted loudly, "Who's out there!"
Before he finished speaking, the courtyard door was slammed open, and a gray-brown thing roared like a beast and rushed into the courtyard.
Yin Chang took two steps back up the steps before he underestimated that the thing was actually a person.
I saw this man covered in stains, leaning forward while running, his head sticking out. That face has high cheekbones, small eyes, a flat nose, a thick beard, and a bare head, leaving only a lock of hair on the forehead... Yin Chang has seen such an outfit before! That turned out to be a ***! I really saw a ghost, a living ghost! How did *** come here?
"How dare you seek death here!" Yin Chang shouted.
But there was a whooshing sound in ***'s mouth and his eyes were blood red. He neither understood nor paid attention to Yin Chang's words. This guy was strong and fast. He rushed up the steps in a few steps and rushed straight towards Yin Chang.
Yin Chang is a veteran general who has experienced many battles. He does not panic when encountering chaos, and immediately pulls out the short sword from his waist with his backhand. But first of all, he was getting older, and secondly, he had been pampered for several years, so his reaction was not as good as when he was young. As soon as he put his hand on the handle of the knife, he felt a gust of evil wind blowing towards his face, and he received a heavy blow on his face.
The dull pain almost made him dizzy. The spoon in his hand was slow, and then his hair was pulled hard and pushed down violently.
Yin Chang couldn't help himself and fell backward. After all, he reacted very quickly. When he landed, he suddenly bent over and arched his back to land on the ground with his back. Otherwise, if the back of his head hit the steps, his brain would be ruptured and he would die on the spot.
But the feeling of his back hitting the stone steps was uncomfortable. Even if he was wearing a thick coat in winter, the pain made Yin Chang scream. And the gunman holding Yin Chang's bun roared twice, and the fishy smell blew directly into his face. While Yin Chang was dizzy, the gunman raised his fist high and was about to hit him hard.
The strength of this gun is really not small. Yin Chang was punched in the middle of his left eye before. Now his field of vision is red, and only his right eye can still see something vaguely. If I eat it one or two more times, I'm afraid my cheekbones will be shattered and my face will be punched into my brain!
It was too late to say, but soon, Yin Chang swung his sword fiercely.
He has personally experienced countless battles. Even if his physical strength and reflexes are now declining, there are certain basic rules for preserving his life. The most important one is that no matter what, he must not lose the knife in his hand. Even though he received a few severe blows, even though the world was spinning, the knife he held in his hand did not relax at all.
With the little vision in front of him, he swung the knife and stabbed hard. With a few puffs, he stabbed the woman in the side of the ribs.
In fact, stabbing the ribs and chest with a short knife are inappropriate moves in close combat. The ribs of the human body are surrounded by bones for protection. If the strength is slightly insufficient or the angle is not so sharp, the narrow blade will be stuck or even broken by the bones. On the contrary, it is necessary to hammer it with heavy weapons such as Iron Bone Flower to achieve the sure-kill effect.
However, the movement angle of Yin Chang's arm was limited, and he could not reach other parts for a while. Fortunately, he had rich experience in fighting. At this time, he was not looking for a single kill, but only looked at luck. In an instant, he exerted force on his forearm and stabbed him six times in a row.
When the short knife penetrated the meat, it was indeed blocked by the ribs several times, but there were also two times that penetrated the ribs and wedged deeply into the internal organs.
The moment he drew the sword, blood gushed out from his body. After the internal organs were injured, the human body instinctively collapsed and became weak. He shouted fiercely, but the fist he dropped lacked strength and slammed into Yin Chang's face.
Yin Chang ate this hard, his head jerked back, nosebleed splattered, and his mouth was filled with a salty taste. Fortunately, *** was weak from the injury and stopped punching. In the blink of an eye, his upper body was swaying, as if he was about to collapse.
He raised his hands and tried to push *** away from him.
Unexpectedly, the gunman suddenly roared violently, and somehow managed to get the last bit of strength to grab Yin Chang's knife-holding right hand and press it down.
This time, combined with the entire person's weight and the last burst of life force, the power was unusually great. Yin Chang tried his best to resist the falling force of the dagger.
Seeing that the bloody edge of the dagger was from one foot to five inches away from his face, from five inches to one inch; the blood from the tip of the knife and the sweat from the woman's head and face dripped onto Yin Chang's face. Yin Chang only cried out in pain, and sighed in his heart that death is inevitable in life, but it is a pity that his ambition was not fulfilled, and it is a pity that he died in such an inexplicable way.
At this moment, he saw several other figures flashing in his blurred vision.
Someone kicked him over, and someone stabbed him several times, killing him completely.
Some people squatted down and looked at Yin Chang.
Yin Chang's vision was blurred and he couldn't breathe. It had been too long since he had fought with someone in a life-and-death fight. In just a few breaths, he had used all his potential, and now he really couldn't squeeze out any spare energy.
He raised his hand and tried to hold the sword in front of him to protect him, but the person in front of him reached out and grabbed the knife and snatched it away easily.
"Tsk tsk..." The man looked at it with the knife and praised, "Old Yin, you are so young. Your fighting spirit is really good."
The army of the Great Zhou Dynasty originated from the Dinghai Navy formed by Guo Ning who gathered people from Hebei. In the early days of Ding Haijun's expansion, the first powerful Shandong faction to defect to was Yin Chang. He is also the first person in the Ding Navy, other than Guo Ning and Jing Anmin, to be a military envoy.
Because of this status, generally speaking, his colleagues respected him very much, and most of them respected him by his official title. A small number of people who came from the Red Coat Army would affectionately call him "Old Yin". As for "Old Yin" who talks a lot, he seems to be very affectionate. Apart from a few old brothers from the Red Coat Army, there are only two brothers who have deep experience in the army and are highly trusted by the emperor: Marshal Li Ting of Guanzhong and Lang Zhong of the Left and Right Division. Li Yun.
Li Ting has a heavy responsibility and will not appear in Kaifeng, so of course Li Yun is here!
Hearing this sentence, Yin Chang couldn't help but scolded: "Mother, you little baby, did you come here to harm me?"
Cursing casually, Yin Chang raised his hand and rubbed his eyes repeatedly. The eyelids of both eyes were almost torn due to excessive force. In the moment of tears, he saw clearly the person in front of him. This man held a short knife upside down in his hand and leaned over to take a closer look. Sure enough, it was Li Yun. Look at Li Yun's expression, which seems to be smiling but not smiling...
Yin Chang suddenly thought of something: Xu Wende and Guo Zheng didn't come, but Li Yun came. What does this mean? Could it be that... those piecemeal arrangements of Tianjin Mansion were exposed? Are they here to take my life on behalf of the emperor?
There was a "buzzing" sound in his mind, as if the heavy blow he had received just now began to have a major impact. He couldn't hear what Li Yun was saying for a while, and cold sweat poured out from his forehead and hair like a waterfall.
"Ahem...what's going on?"
Yin Chang's appearance shocked Li Yun.
He took half a step forward and supported Yin Chang with one hand: "Don't fall, Old Yin! His Majesty said, if you can show some bravery this time, you will pass this level!"
As he spoke, he took out the document with his other hand and shook it out in front of Yin Chang: "Old Yin, look at this!"
"Ah?" Yin Chang responded blankly.
He rubbed his eyes again, strained his eyes to look at the document, looked at it, and sighed.
