The Beacon of Kyushu

chapter 71

After a while, the big man stopped, took off the black cloth from Yuwen Yanyi's face, and said: "These people will be your enemies, kill them!"

Yuwen Yanyi nodded instinctively, but before she had time to see the situation in the room clearly, she felt a gust of evil wind howling towards her.Yuwen Yanyi hurriedly took a step back, and then struck out with her left hand, hitting a person heavily with her palm.

The man was beaten flying several feet, and slammed into the wall fiercely, with blood continuously spurting out of his mouth.In an instant, several people rushed towards Yuwen Yanyi frantically. They were all well-trained, and they all held the long swords uniformly equipped by soldiers of the Song Army in their hands.

When Yuwen Yanyi saw these long swords, hatred suddenly arose in his heart, and he didn't show any mercy when he struck, and knocked all these people to the ground with a few palms.After several people fell to the ground, they dropped their long swords, but their eyes were still staring at Yuwen Yanyi angrily.

"Song Jun, damn it!" Yuwen Yanyi leaned over to pick up a long sword, his eyes were more creepy than the cold light on the sword.He lifted the long sword upside down and approached them step by step, and then the long sword turned into several flowing rainbows, piercing through the throats of several people in an instant.

He looked at the dead Song Bing, his eyes no longer had the slightest emotion, but were full of indifference.At this moment, the strange man walked slowly behind Yuwen Yanyi, seeing that he killed all these Song soldiers in an instant, he laughed with satisfaction.

Yuwen Yanyi seems to no longer try to resist, and has acquiesced that he is a murder weapon in the hands of weird people. What he should do in this world is to kill more people for him.He turned around and asked without thinking: "Next, who is the person I want to kill?"

The weird man still didn't answer, waved his hand at the big man again, and said, "Take him there!" The big man hurriedly responded, took out a black cloth from his arms, covered Yuwen Yanyi's eyes, pulled him out of the stone room, and strode to the left go.

Soon, the two walked into a stone room, which was crowded with more than a dozen low-ranking generals of the Song Dynasty.When these people saw the big man, they all knelt and crawled to his feet, kowtowing their heads constantly, "My lord, please let us go, we have wives and children in our family, we don't want to die yet!"

One of them hugged the big man's legs and begged: "My lord, I have gold, silver and jewels in my house, as well as a beautiful wife and beautiful concubine. If you let me go, these will all belong to you, my lord! Please be merciful and let me go!" I'm going out!"

The big man snorted coldly, kicked him away, then removed the black cloth from Yuwen Yanyi's face, and said, "Go, kill them!"

Yuwen Yanyi nodded, drew a sharp dagger from the waist of the big man, and walked slowly towards these people.These low-level generals are usually good at flattery and begging for mercy. Seeing this, they hurriedly surrounded Yuwen Yanyi and spoke good things.Yuwen Yanyi hated this group of soft bones very much, and she was even more angry when she saw the official uniforms of the Song Dynasty on them.He seemed to turn a deaf ear to their words, and approached these people step by step.

The faint light of the fire reflected on the dagger, and there was a frightening coldness. Yuwen Yanyi sneered and raised the dagger, and stabbed it fiercely in the heart of the person closest to him.There was no trace of hesitation in his actions, let alone a trace of mercy, as if what he killed was not a Song general who met by chance, but an enemy of his own family——Liu Yu!
The man stared at the dagger stuck in his chest, his eyes full of fear, and then he howled miserably, fell to the ground and died.Seeing this, the rest of the people hid in the corner together and huddled together to sieve the chaff.Two more courageous generals knelt down in front of Yuwen Yanyi tremblingly, making promises all over their mouths, but no one could figure out what they were talking about.

Yuwen Yanyi was not interested in what they said, but pulled out the dagger from the dead body and stabbed it into another person's chest.He did the same action repeatedly, blood spurted out continuously, and screams could be heard endlessly.Everything in front of him, not only did not arouse Yuwen Yanyi's pity, but made him feel an unprecedented excitement and pleasure.

Under the light of the fire, he suddenly burst out laughing, his face was ferocious like a bloodthirsty lone wolf.He drew out his dagger without hesitation, and frantically slaughtered these low-ranking generals who bowed their knees. Their wailing before death, to Yuwen Yanyi's ears, was extremely pleasant, like a loud hymn.

At this moment, his heart is filled with killing intent and wildness, and his blood boils with the death of these people. He no longer regards killing as a painful thing, nor does he no longer regard killing as a task to perform, but regards killing as a task. I did something that made me very happy and excited.

Soon, Yuwen Yanyi killed all these people. Looking at the blood on the ground, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.The strange man walked behind him at some point, clapped his palms in satisfaction and laughed, "Hahaha, you did a good job! Yuwen Yanyi, it seems that the commander can rest assured that he will hand over the last test to you!"

Yuwen Yanyi turned around and said coldly: "Killing these wastes is easy for me, it is not a test at all! I hope your final test will not let me down!"

As he killed more and more people, his demeanor and tone changed silently, but in just a few days, he became almost exactly the same as a strange person.

The mask covered the expression on the weird man's face, but it couldn't hide his angry tone. He waved his iron hand and said, "Your final test is to kill a senior official of the Song Dynasty. His name is Zhai Shouxun!"

Yuwen Yanyi once heard about this person from his master Mu Liao, and he vaguely remembered that this person was originally a subordinate of Zhou Guo general Li Chongjin, and he had a close friendship with Li Chongjin.Later, Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutinied and usurped Zhou Zili, while Li Chongjin and Li Yun were loyal to their old masters and rebelled against the Song Dynasty.Li Chongjin intended to join forces with Li Yun, so he sent Zhai Shouxun to write a letter, but Zhai Shouxun actually handed Li Chongjin's letter to Zhao Kuangyin in order to be greedy for glory and wealth.Zhao Kuangyin designed Zhai Shouxun to stabilize Li Chongjin, while he himself quickly wiped out Li Yun, and immediately attacked Li Chongjin on a large scale.Li Chongjin was defeated and died by self-immolation in desperation, but Zhai Shouxun was reused by Zhao Kuangyin because of this, and he has been working for Song Dynasty.

Suddenly, Yuwen Yanyi remembered the words that the weirdo said to him before, "In this world, not only your enemies will harm you, strangers, even your friends may harm you at any time." I was extremely surprised by the thought that Li Chongjin didn't die at all after self-immolation, but now he is standing in front of me!
Yuwen Yanyi's complexion changed slightly, and she pointedly blamed humanity: "You...you are Li Chongjin!"

The strange man nodded slightly, and said calmly: "That's right, this commander is Li Chongjin!"

Yuwen Yanyi nodded, and said: "I understand. Although you were not burned to death, your whole body was burned. That's why you had to cover your body with iron armor, because you were afraid that others would discover your true identity."

Li Chongjin said in a deep voice: "You talk too much! There is nothing to be afraid of in this world, I just don't want to cause trouble." He pondered for a moment, and then said: "Tomorrow you will set off for Bianliang, my commander Waiting for your good news!"

Yuwen Yanyi bowed slightly and said, "Yes, I will definitely not let you down!"

Ten days later, late at night.

In the sleeping Bianliang City, there is no daytime traffic, nor the feasting and feasting at night, except for occasional loud noises from a few cottages.The rest of the streets and houses were dead silent, and the entire city was shrouded in pitch black night.At this time, only the lights were still on in a deep house at the entrance of Junyi Street, and the lights were brightly lit, as bright as day, and there were bursts of laughter from time to time.

Yuwen Yanyi covered her face with a black cloth, only her eyes were exposed, and she walked through the dark streets alone with her long sword upside down.His footsteps were not fast or slow, neither the tension, hesitation, nor excessive excitement and agitation before the murder, as if killing had become a simple and ordinary trivial matter in his eyes.

He raised his sword and approached the illuminated mansion, his footsteps became more and more leisurely, as if he was strolling in a courtyard.He looked up at a black plaque above the gate, and saw the words "Dou Da's Zhai Mansion" written on it, and a faint smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth.

The guard at the gate saw someone coming towards the gate of the mansion, and hurriedly stopped him, saying: "Who is it, stop! This is Lord Zhai's mansion, no one else can come near it!"

Yuwen Yanyi didn't seem to hear the guard's words, and waved the long sword in his hand, and then a cold light flashed, piercing the guard's throat in the blink of an eye.The guard fell to the ground with a sword, and before he died, he tried his last bit of strength and shouted: "Come on, there are assassins!"

Yuwen Yanyi drew out the long sword, shook the blade, and shook off all the blood beads.Then, he stepped up the steps, pushed open the heavy mansion door, and walked straight into the mansion.

I don't know whether it's because the voice of the guards is too low, or the Zhai Mansion's defenses are weak. Yuwen Yanyi not only didn't bump into the guard who came from Xunsheng along the way, but he didn't even see a patrolling servant.Yuwen Yanyi sneered lowly, and walked quickly in the direction of the noise.

After a while, Yuwen Yanyi was led to the main hall of Zhai Mansion by the laughter.He saw from a distance that the hall was full of guests, and everyone's table was piled up with good food and wine.Sitting on the main seat in the middle is a middle-aged man with piercing eyes and gray hair, with shrewdness in his gaze.The high-ranking officials sitting in the hatchbacks frequently toasted to the man in the middle, and they toasted each other for a while, making it very lively.

A slightly bloated middle-aged man stood up and bowed slightly to the man on the main seat. He held a cup in his hand and smiled all over his face, "Lord Zhai, today is your birthday. I wish you prosperity and success, long life!" Live a hundred years!"

Zhai Shouxun smiled brightly, stood up and was about to return a drink to this man, when a cold voice suddenly came from outside the door.The voice was so cold that there was no trace of emotion, like a ghost in the underworld, "Live a long life? Only the dead can really live a long life!"

Although the voice was not loud, it was obviously out of date.Everyone in the room seemed to have been tapped, and instantly became pale and stunned on the spot.Only Zhai Shouxun kept calm and asked: "Which friend is coming outside, is he also here to celebrate Zhai's birthday? Since you have already come, please come in and talk about it!"

Yuwen Yanyi walked slowly into the main hall at this moment, the long sword held upside down in his hand glowed coldly, it was chilling to see.He slowly walked up to Zhai Shouxun, without saying a word, the long sword suddenly stabbed Zhai Shouxun's face.

Zhai Shouxun didn't know martial arts, so he just forced himself to be calm. When he saw Yuwen Yanyi's murderous aura and the sharp long sword in his hand, he was scared out of his wits and shook like chaff.In an instant, he was so frightened that he fell down on the chair, bowed to Yuwen Yanyi again and again, and begged: "Young man, you and I have no grievances in the past, and we have no vengeance in the present, you... please let me go!"

Yuwen Yanyi said coldly: "Zhai Shouxun, the evil karma you committed back then should be paid in blood today!" As he spoke, he stabbed out again with the long sword, and it sank into Zhai Shouxun's chest, pushing him to death on the back of the chair superior.

Seeing this, everyone at the scene screamed and fled frantically outside the door with their heads in their hands.They were running for their lives with almost all their strength. When the few people who ran in front were rejoicing that they had escaped, unexpectedly, Yuwen Yanyi had already rushed to the door, blocking everyone's way.

Yuwen Yanyi held his sword against his chest, and smiled grimly, "Aren't you Zhai Shouxun's friend? His body is not cold, and you just leave like this, do you think it's appropriate?"

Everyone hurriedly stopped in their tracks, and asked fearfully: "Young... what is your order, I will wait for you!"

"Is that true?" Yuwen Yanyi glanced at the crowd playfully, like a civet cat catching a mouse, "Zhai Shouxun is too lonely underground, why don't you go down and be his companion."

Before Yuwen Yanyi finished speaking, the sword light appeared again, and the blood splashed out. In an instant, the hall was soaked in blood, and a strong, suffocating bloody smell permeated the air.As Yuwen Yanyi danced the long sword in his hand, people kept screaming terribly, and more and more corpses fell to the ground. In a short while, the hall was full of corpses and blood.

When the last person also died, Yuwen Yanyi let out a few wild laughs, then slowly put the long sword back into the sheath, turned around and walked outside the mansion calmly.His back quickly merged with the night and disappeared into the vast night.
