C35 Life and Death Agreement(1)
In the summer, if there was a dead cat or a dead dog there, many of the green flies would bite, and if someone passed by, they would explode. The recruits were also the same, after a moment of silence, they suddenly spoke up together.
Some people were confused, some people were complaining, and even more people were cursing in a low voice. It was hard to tell just how many people were in a mess. Dongfang Zhongyu could only hear Yue Jiangchuan murmuring, "Amitabha, even if it's a competition of kung fu, you shouldn't need to sign this, right?"
"That's right!" Jin Shazhi also said, "It's not like we're risking our lives in a martial arts competition. Don't tell me we have to kill a few of them?" "Be quiet!" Bai Hu Guan shouted, "Listen to Senior Qian Hu's lecture." The noise gradually quieted down.
Pang Ying said, "Not just anyone can enter the Northern Fountain Division, do you know? Even these field officers were chosen from those who risked their lives on the battlefield to obtain military merits, not to mention the fact that you people aren't ordinary field officers after leaving the barracks!
Without blood or killing anyone, can I let you protect the Emperor and do things for the Emperor? This was a test, a life or death test! "If you don't have the guts, then you don't have the qualifications to stay here. Those who are afraid of death can leave immediately!"
No one moved, no one spoke, a deathly silence. Pang Ying softened her tone and said, "The rules are simple. The drawing of lots with the Life and Death Certificate signed can be divided into three groups. Three people can enter a sealed room and only one person can come out alive …" You guys can choose to stay! "
Without waiting for his voice to fall, the crowd burst into an uproar. Currently, there were only thirty-seven recruits left. In other words, only twelve or thirteen would survive. Even if you had the strength to be in the top ten, if you were to be in the same group as someone with better kung fu skills, you would still die.
This was a battle of strength, not a battle of courage and confidence. If there were already people who had left the formation and were heading towards the campsite, then they would consider themselves to be lacking in martial arts. As long as there were people to take the lead, there would naturally be people to follow. This was because the weakest amongst the group would always be two, three, or four … Before long, thirteen people walked out of the camp.
"Are there any more cowards?" Pang Ying asked sternly, "If you don't want to leave, then sign!" "I'll sign!" Dongfang Zhongyue clenched his teeth, no matter what, he had to sign! For revenge!
"I'll sign it too!" Jin Shazhi said. Amitabha, "Yue Jiangchuan muttered," I hope each of us can get one! The three of them went to the front to sign their names and return to the team. They didn't know what the result would be, so they didn't say anything. The others followed him. One of them … Two... Three... A total of twenty-four people signed the Life Death Contract.
In order to show that it was fair to draw lots on the spot, a piece of yellow paper was cut into twenty-four pieces, written in a ball and tossed into a clay pot. Then the pot was placed on the table, covered with cloth, and the person who drew the lot could only reach in.
The drawing of lots went by very quickly. It didn't make much of a difference as to how one got lucky. Yue Jiangchuan touched number one, Dongfang Zhongyue touched number four, and Jin Shazhi touched the last group eight.
"Amitabha," Yue Jiangchuan let out a long breath and said happily, "It's fine as long as you are not in the same group as Brother Dongfang!" Jin Shazhi was also thinking the same thing, "There's a fifty percent chance of surviving!"
The head of a hundred households shouted, "Those who have captured Number 1, come here. Only your sabre and crossbows are allowed." Xiuchun Knife s and klystron s were the standard preparations for the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the new army camp only trained these two weapons.
Yue Jiangchuan touched the single saber at his waist and the klystron at the outside of his thigh and walked over. After all, he had slept in a tent before, Jin Shazhi cupped his hands and said, "Wishing you success, Brother Yue!" Brother Yue! " Dongfang Zhongyue caught up to him and said in a low voice, "Take your sabre sheath and bring your sabre in."
"Oh?" Yue Jiangchuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately did as he was told, "Brother Dongfang is quite smart." It was enough to kill a person while drawing the saber.
The place to fight was a special tent, with wooden stakes buried close to the tent. Outside the tent stood thirty field officers. Yue Jiangchuan and the other two walked in, and the wooden door closed behind them.
Right after the wooden door closed, a cry of pain came from inside. It sounded like Yue Jiangchuan. Dongfang Zhongyu was surprised, "The other two are very strong?" The recruits usually practiced their own techniques, so they didn't know each other.
"I can't say …" Jin Shazhi listened carefully, and a burst of clanging sounds came out of the tent, "I'm afraid that the other two people will work together …"
"How could this be …?" Dongfang Zhongyu stopped abruptly, realizing that the possibility existed. If the other two were friends, or if they knew Yue Jiangchuan's kung fu was high, they would naturally join hands …
A quarter of an hour later, the wooden door slowly opened. Yue Jiangchuan limped out with a single saber dripping with blood. Dongfang Zhongyu rushed over and helped him to the side. His pants on his left leg was cut open and blood kept coming out.
"What's going on?" "Brother Yue, did the two of them join hands?" Amitabha, "Yue Jiangchuan's mouth twitched," There was a kid who ambushed me. It was all thanks to Brother Dongfang's reminder that I had my scabbard removed.
The more Dongfang Zhong smiled, "It's good that you're fine." At this moment, a doctor came over to help bandage Yue Jiangchuan's wound. Luckily, the wound wasn't too big, it only healed after ten to fifteen days.
Dongfang Zhongyue saw the pain on Yue Jiangchuan's face and asked: "Are there any other injuries?" Yue Jiangchuan shook his head and said slowly, "You two prepare as well! Leave me alone for a while. "
Dongfang Zhongyu was confused. Jin Shazhi pulled him away and said in a low voice, "This is the first time you've killed someone." Dongfang Zhongyu thought, "I've also killed people before, what do you think?" Turning his head, he saw Yang Yuanshan walk out. He raised his knife high in the air in excitement. Blood dripped down the edge of the blade onto Yang Yuanshan's body.
"Who's with him?" Dongfang Zhongyue asked in bewilderment. "I didn't notice," Jin Shazhi replied. "It seems like one of them is a stone step." "Huh?" Dongfang Zhongyu was very surprised. One must know that the stone steps were Yang Yuanshan's loyal followers. Would he be so happy after killing his comrades?
A few masked field officers carried out two corpses and placed them in the same place as the two from before. They covered them with white cloth, and it was unknown since when no one said anything; even though the sun was shining brightly, it caused people to feel a chill down their spine.
"Who caught number four in the fourth group?" "Let's go!" Bai Hu Guan shouted. "Me!" And me! " Two people, one tall and the other short, walked out. The tall one was Zhao Yonggui, the short one was Jiang Duoyi.
The new barracks seemed simple, but there were actually many factions. Yang Zhongkun himself was the Imperial Secret Service's Chief Flag Officer, as well as his adoptive father was the palace's leader, so he had a group of followers beside him. The two of them were two of them.
"Who else?" Bai Hu Guan asked. "Me!" Zhong Yu silently loaded a crossbow bolt onto his body and walked out. Yang Zhongkun greeted him with a strange smile, "Wishing you success, Brother Dongfang."
Dongfang Zhongyu smiled, "Thank you, you still don't know my martial arts?" He followed Zhao and Jiang to the tent. Zhao Yonggui and Jiang Duoyi didn't enter first, but were guarding the two sides of the wooden door. Dongfang Zhongyue didn't mind taking big steps to enter first.
Being bold didn't mean he was being hasty. As soon as he stepped through the door with his right foot, he immediately rushed out. When he reached the other side of the tent, he immediately turned around and stood still with a single blade in his hand.
The tent was lit with four candles that were as thick as a forearm. The more Zhong Zhong saw from the east, the more regretful expressions were revealed on Zhao Yonggui's and Jiang Duoyi's faces. They coldly snorted and said: "Jiang Duoyi, you shouldn't have come in! Do you think that by sneaking an attack on me and killing me, you will be able to get out alive? "
Jiang Duoyi reprimanded, "None of your business!" "I remind you for your own good," Dongfang Zhongyue said. "You know I'm telling the truth." Don't try to sow discord. " Zhao Yonggui interrupted, "Just wait for your death!" Raise a single knife close to the flight attendant to attack.
"You think you can kill me?" Dongfang Zhongyue suddenly raised his leg and released a crossbow arrow. The Embroidered Uniform Guard used small crossbows that were specially developed for carrying. They were only a foot in size. Although the crossbows were small and powerful, they were made from the best green bamboo, water buffalo horns, and leopard tendons. They were extremely elastic and could shoot through wooden planks an inch thick at a distance.
Once the crossbow arrow was released, Dongfang Zhongyu immediately launched an attack on Jiang Duoyi. The latter also knew that if he helped Zhao Yonggui kill Dongfang Zhongyue, he would also be doomed. Therefore, he wanted the two of them to fight to the bitter end while he benefited from it. He didn't expect that the Dongfang Zhongyue would suddenly launch an attack on him, and hastily brandished his blade to block the opponent's direct stab.
Dongfang Zhongyue saw that there was a gap on his right side and a kick landed on his thigh. Jiang Duoyi let out a cry of pain and retreated two steps back. Dongfang Zhongyu immediately chopped at his abdomen with his backhand. Jiang Duoyi did not stabilize his body and hurriedly blocked with his blade.
In fact, Dongfang Zhongyu had already figured it out. When he saw the opponent's arm move, he immediately changed it to a erase. The cut was on Jiang Duoyi's arm, and before he could hit Dongfang Zhongyu, he kicked him out.
Although it was just a split-second, when Zhao Yonggui dodged the crossbow arrows and came to reinforce him, Jiang Duoyi was already knocked down. When Dongfang Zhongyue heard the footsteps behind him, he didn't even look back as he slashed backward. Zhao Yonggui had no choice but to lift his blade to block, and the two blades clashed as a series of sparks flew.
"Watch your father deal with you!" Dongfang Zhongyu took the opportunity to turn around and cut three times with his right hand. The first cut horizontally across the waist, the second cut diagonally across the thigh, and the third cut directly through the left shoulder. The three moves were as fast as lightning. Zhao Yonggui was not stupid. He blocked three slashes in a row and was only forced to take three steps back.
"You still have some skill!" Dongfang Zhongyu immediately changed his strategy and hacked down with both of his hands. Zhao Yonggui did not dare to be slow, he also held his sabre with both of his hands and tried to block. After a crisp sound, Dongfang Zhong's single sabre was bounced up high.
At this moment, Jiang Duoyi released two crossbow arrows, causing Zhong Yu to have no choice but to dodge. Let me take care of you! " Zhao Yonggui finally had the opportunity to strike back. He swung his saber diagonally.
Dongfang Zhongyue took a step back as he raised his blade to block, but Zhao Yonggui managed to strike back with his sword. His strength was too strong. Every time Dongfang Zhongyue blocked a move, he would be forced to retreat a step. There was a gap in the blade of the saber; he would not be able to retaliate for a while.
Dongfang Zhongyu feared this situation the most. While he was passively defending, he looked for an opportunity to turn the tables, and after taking seven or eight steps back, he happened to see Jiang Duoyi's saber lying on the ground.
It was difficult for Zhao Yonggui to block the way, so he had to jump back to get out of the way. Dongfang Zhongyu took the opportunity to kick away the blade on the ground; this movement almost took his life.
The single blade flew straight at Jiang Duoyi, but Jiang Duoyi suddenly had no chance to dodge, so he could only use the klystron in his hands to block and break the bowstring.
Without the threat of the crossbow arrows, Dongfang Zhongyue continued to attack Zhao Yonggui's calf; Zhao Yonggui's body clumsily pushed his sabre forward in fear of him continuously chasing him down the path, which was a good opportunity. Dongfang Zhongyue immediately tilted his sabre's head upwards, but Zhao Yonggui was unable to dodge in time and got a big cut on his left abdomen.
Although the wound was not deep, it was very long. Zhao Yonggui was terrified when he saw that blood was flowing out from the wound after a foot, "Blood? You... You cut me... "You cut me!" It was you! " Dongfang Zhongyue swung his blade again.
"How dare you chop me …" I'll kill you! " Zhao Yonggui was scared and angry. He ignored Su Hao's attack, crazily swung his sword and hacked down on Su Hao's head and face …
