Chapter 96, Pingshun Camp
Under the moonlight, the blood dripping from the tip of the sword was like bright stars, adding a cruel and beautiful color to this silent night.
Lian Yutang stretched out his index finger and flicked the long sword. The height of the sword vibrated frequently, making a roaring sound. The blood on the sword tip flew away, and the long sword immediately returned to its original appearance, like a pool of clear water.
Lian Yutang gently put the sword back into its scabbard and said, "It's a pity, let him run away."
Originally, Lian Yutang's sword was aimed at Hua Shuixin's throat. At that critical moment, Hua Shuixin changed his body and switched positions with the puppet. But Lian Yutang's sword just now was too fast. Although Hua Shuixin escaped the fatal sword stabbing his throat, he was still stabbed in the body by Lian Yutang.
After Hua Shuixing was hit by the sword, he decisively used the golden cicada's ability to escape from the shell and abandoned the puppet to escape.
"We'll meet." Seeing that Lian Yutang was a little depressed, Xi Xingchen comforted him.
Xi Xingchen was right. Currently, the Dayan Dynasty's national destiny has been exhausted. There are internal and external troubles, and the world is about to be in chaos.
At this time, hundreds of hidden schools of thought will join the world one after another to promote their own ideas and opinions. As the hundreds of schools of thought walk in the world, they all have their own missions.
At that time, hundreds of schools of thought will compete on the same stage, and the whole world will become their arena.
Hua Shuixin walks the world as the leader of the Yin Yang family. Although he is temporarily lurking in the bandits' den, he will inevitably participate in this competition.
Therefore, Xi Xingchen's statement that he would meet is not an empty talk, because whether he likes it or not, this is the long-cherished destiny of all the people of all schools of thought.
"Next time, I will keep his head." Lian Yutang said proudly.
Outside Wan County, Hua Shuixin rode on a war horse with a pale face, his Confucian shirt fluttering in the wind, but his messy hair revealed his embarrassment at the moment.
He, Hua Shuixin, the world-walking and future leader carefully cultivated by the Yin-Yang family, and the military advisor of Huangfeng Village, was unexpectedly stabbed by a killer in a little-known small county.
Although the sword only injured his right arm, Hua Shuixin knew very well that if he had not escaped at that time, his life would have remained there.
The sword that Lian Yutang stabbed him at the end was really terrible.
The sword energy is like a dragon, like an antelope hanging its horns, as if it were made in heaven.
Even if Hua Shuixin faced him again, he still couldn't take the sword.
This feeling made him very desperate.
Lian Yutang's sword was like a destroyer, not only destroying his body, but also destroying his inner peace.
The most terrifying thing was that Lian Yutang's sword caused the world that Hua Shuixin had spent his whole life to build to collapse.
Before that, Hua Shuixin didn't care about anything. Of course, it wasn't really indifferent, but he felt that there was nothing in this world that he could take seriously.
So he is like a bystander in this world. He can calmly and freely place a chess piece in the chess game of the world, set up a game, and then quietly appreciate the struggle and fighting of the people in the game.
As for the outcome, whether he loses a few pieces or wins a few times, he can deal with it calmly.
Because, from beginning to end, he is a spectator of this world.
Only by treating himself as a spectator of this world can he see the essence of things through phenomena. For example: the unity of opposites of yin and yang, the change cycle of the four seasons, and the five elements' mutual growth and restraint.
But when Lian Yutang stabbed him with the sword, Hua Shuixin suddenly realized that he was actually a person in the game.
Realizing that you are the one in the game is fatal to a person who sees himself as the schemer.
Hua Shuixin still clearly remembers how Lian Yutang felt when he stabbed someone: everything in front of him began to blur, and his heartbeat accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
At that moment, Hua Shuixin felt her huge fear.
Death, a concept that once seemed out of reach, was now so real in front of him.
At that moment, Hua Shuixin felt fear for the first time in his life, and the fear destroyed his faith.
It made him doubt his abilities and whether he could get over this failure.
Hua Shuixin felt that he had let down the Yin and Yang family. He couldn't even protect himself. What could he do to protect and carry forward the Yin and Yang family in the future?
Hua Shuixin is a man with a demon-like mind. He immediately realized that the fearful emotion that should not appear in him would become a demonic obstacle that restrained him. To get rid of this demonic obstacle, he must free this killer and the Mohist world. Stay in Wan County.
Because if he can't even get out of Wan County, how can he compete with the talents of hundreds of schools of thought for hegemony in the world.
The Pingshun Battalion in Wan County has one hundred and fifty officers and soldiers. Due to their outstanding performance in Wan County, the people of Wan County respectfully call these one hundred and fifty officers and soldiers "the old soldiers."
As for the title of Lao Yebing, Pingshun Battalion earned it based on its strength.
First of all, after this unit was deployed to Wan County, it has been unable to show any combat effectiveness and training quality for decades. Its combat ability is basically zero.
The specific manifestation is that whenever they see the bandits in Huangfeng Village, they run faster than rabbits and have never fought with them.
In the words of General Duan Derong of the Pingshun Battalion, this is a strategic retreat. When the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we do not fight, and when the enemy retreats, we do not pursue. No one without great intelligence would be able to come up with such a brilliant strategy.
Facts have proved that General Duan Qian's strategic policy has been implemented more thoroughly than the Party. In the past ten years, he has never had a battle with the bandits of Huangfeng Village, nor has he lost an inch of land.
Instead, he took pleasure in oppressing the people. They are the ones who are said to be incompetent.
The reason why they are called Laoye soldiers is because they can't fight anything but bully the common people.
The Green Battalion of Binh Thuan was notorious for its incompetence.
This army of 150 people was called the "Laoye Soldiers". This name originated from their attitude towards ordinary people.
These soldiers not only failed to protect the people, but instead took pleasure in bullying them. Whether it was robbery or malicious harassment, they had no scruples.
Their behavior is so bad that people would rather avoid any contact with them.
However, for the soldiers of this army, their fun is not limited to bullying ordinary people.
In fact, their ability to fight is almost zero. Whether facing internal rebellion or external enemies, they can only flee helplessly.
There are even rumors that they will unconsciously show fear when facing the common people.
However, even such veteran soldiers have their nemesis.
It is said that a prestigious local squire once successfully stopped an atrocities committed by the old soldiers by himself.
From the standpoint of the common people, he publicly condemned the behavior of this army and called on other veteran soldiers to reflect on their actions.
