Chapter 27 Killing Is Not that Difficult

Whenever he was with Old Sheepskin, Yun Chu felt as if his soul was out of his body. To be precise, his soul seemed to be flying in the air, observing his body communicating with Old Sheepskin like a bystander.

This feeling was very wrong!

As far as Yun Chu knew, this situation would only occur if he was taking drugs or was given anesthetics.

When did this feeling start?

Yun Chu placed the Tang sword horizontally on his knees and began to play a movie in his mind. The content of the movie was all the things he had experienced since leaving the Aries Department.

This kind of retrospective thinking is a way of thinking that many scientists and bigwigs like.

As long as this thinking mode is cultivated, a person's life is equivalent to living twice, and the realm of life will be improved by one or two levels.

Yun Chu thought for a long, long time. Finally, he stopped thinking and called Hou San to help him boil water. He wanted to take a good bath.

Hou San, who had just woken up, came to help happily. He rarely met people as generous as Yun Chu. As long as he helped, he would definitely be rewarded.

Hou San cleaned up very cleanly today. He knew that Yun Chu didn't like dirty people. Although his hands and face were still black and red, they shone with the luster that skin should have. This was really clean.

Hou San stood in the canal. He felt that the water in front of him was polluted by his feet. He needed to wait for clean water to flow down from above before filling it with water in a can to meet Yun Chu's requirements.

Yun Chu's shadow was reflected in the water, so Hou San decided to wait a little longer to meet Yun Chu's not-so-pleasant clean requirements.

After waiting for a while, he was about to fill the water, but his heart ached violently. A sharp knife tip suddenly emerged from his chest, and a string of blood beads flowed quickly along the knife tip into the clear water. Before it could dye the canal water red, it was washed clean by more clear water.

He turned his head with difficulty to look at Yun Chu. At this time, Yun Chu's face was very ugly. He took back the Tang sword and whispered to Hou San: "Did you get abandoned by your previous master because of betrayal?"

Hou San wanted to answer Yun Chu's question, but he was so heartbroken that he drained all his strength. The water jar fell into the canal water, and then his body fell into the canal water, floating away with the water flow.

Although Yun Chu's Tang sword was also a good sword, it was still not as good as the blade without blood. He squatted down and washed the blood on the Tang sword in the cool canal water. Blood was easy to wash with cold water, but it was not easy to clean it with hot water.

Yun Chu went to Hou San's room to check and found an exquisite white jade bottle in a small bundle. He pulled out the stopper and sniffed it gently. A cool feeling rushed to the top of his head. Yun Chu tried to open his eyes wide, trying to keep himself awake.

Unfortunately, the sound of birds singing outside the window seemed to be delayed at this time. You could see the bird's beak opening and closing before you could hear the bird's singing.

The sound of birds singing entered his ears, and it was like thunder in his mind. Yun Chu put down his Tang sword, staggered to the edge of the canal, and fell into it.

After a long time, Yun Chu stood up from the canal wet, picked up the discarded Tang sword, and returned to the room. He immediately loaded all the things on the horse's back. Although he didn't know whether Lao Yangpi's words were true or false, leaving was an urgent matter.

Yun Chu walked along the canal. Not long after walking, he saw Hou San again. His body was blocked by a fallen thick branch. His body sank under the water, and his head was exposed. Maybe because the water was very cold, his face became very pale.

Yun Chu swung his knife to cut off the branch, and Hou San started his journey again. He didn't know where he wanted to go. Yun Chu only knew that if he walked forward, he would enter the dark karez tunnel again.

It was not difficult for Yunchu to avoid this war. He just needed to find a place where no one was and stay alone for a few days, and the war would pass.

The karez tunnels scattered throughout the Qiuci Plain were a good refuge.

Wars in the Western Regions since ancient times have destroyed cities and exterminated races, but none destroyed karez.

Karez is more important than life to this generation of Western Regions people. Every year, every day, there are always people digging karez. With this thing, the desolate Gobi Desert will be filled with the fragrance of flowers and fruits.

When people die, children will be born and grow up to be men. It doesn't matter if the city is destroyed. As long as there is a karez, this place will become prosperous again in a short time.

When Yunchu was about to follow Hou San into the karez tunnel, he couldn't help but look back at the Qiuci City in the distance.

After just one look, he closed his eyes in pain.

To be honest, Yunchu didn't care much about the lives of He Yuanshan, Liu Xiong and others. As for the Hu people doing business in the city, Yunchu didn't care even more. The reason why he felt pain was because he saw the wolf-skin banner of the Aries tribe.

The appearance of the banner indicated that the entire Aries tribe had arrived in Qiuci.

In other words, Selaima and Naha were in that long team.

Watching Hou San happily enter the karez tunnel, Yunchu turned his horse's head without hesitation and returned to the mulberry forest in a short time.

The mute groom took away the bay horse and returned it to Aba. Aba complained to Yunchu about Hou San's negligence in not guarding the gate.

After Yunchu said that he would severely punish the damned Hou San, the groom left with satisfaction.

Just when He Yuanshan was thirsty, a can of water was handed to him from behind. He Yuanshan turned around and found that it was Yunchu, so he picked up the can and drank it all, and said in a hoarse voice: "I thought you had left."

Yunchu smiled and said: "Let's go together."

He Yuanshan was very satisfied with Yunchu's attitude, and put his hands on his shoulders and said: "This time we have a great chance of winning. The three regiments of Shangzhou Zhechongfu have already entered Qiuci City. With the help of these 1,500 people, we can definitely hold on until the army arrives."

"Where is Lord Pei Dongfeng?"

"He left, with Fangzheng."

"So, who has the final say in this city?"

"Fu The soldiers are naturally under the command of Ding Dayou, the captain of the Shangzhou Zhechoufu. The rest are all under our command, and I was specially given a team of palace soldiers. "

Yun Chu pointed to the Huihe people who were entering the city and asked: "Are these people also under our command?"

He Yuanshan sighed and said: "These are Huihe reinforcements, under the command of Captain Ding Dayou."

Yun Chu sighed and said: "Give me 500 people you can mobilize, I have a use."

He Yuanshan frowned and said: "What do you want so many people for?"

"Seal the tunnels leading to the outside world in Qiuci City. If these tunnels are not closed, the people in the city will run away before the Turks come to attack."

"There are tunnels in the city?" He Yuanshan couldn't help but screamed.

Yun Chu smiled bitterly and said, "It has been four years since the Tang Dynasty abandoned Qiuci City. During these four years, Qiuci City actually belonged to those Hu people. They don't trust us. What's strange about digging tunnels in the city? Besides, the land here is very suitable for building tunnels."

"Take me to see it!" He Yuanshan did not agree to give Yun Chu any manpower. He called out to Liu Xiong and others in the distance, and hundreds of Hu people wearing leather armor hurried over. With Yun Chu, He Yuanshan went to the direction of the market.

He found a Hu merchant who he had vaguely seen in the poplar forest and pointed with his finger. The Hu merchant who had pretended nothing happened suddenly changed his face, pulled out a scimitar from his leather coat, and started fighting with the Hu people brought by He Yuanshan.

The incident happened suddenly. He Yuanshan did not expect these people to dare to use knives in the city. He shouted angrily, and immediately, a team of palace soldiers following him drew their bows and arrows... arrows were like locusts.

People shot by feather arrows can usually live for a while, mainly because this kind of piercing wound has limited lethality to people if it does not injure the heart and brain.

A guy who was hit by seven or eight arrows all over his body, although he fell to the ground, what came out of his mouth was real Turkic language.

"Tengger will press you damn Tang people under the black stone and let the vultures peck your eyeballs.

The Khan will skin you damn Tang people and eat your meat..."

Yun Chu looked at He Yuanshan and said, "Turkic spies, right?"

He Yuanshan sneered and said, "Catch them alive, try to catch as many alive as possible, these Turkic dogs are useful to me."

Yun Chu shrank back, and Liu Xiong and other people in iron armor strode forward, facing the scimitars wielded by the Turks without dodging, and fought forward with one knife after another.

Facts have proved that the reason why the Tang Dynasty soldiers are invincible in the Western Regions is not only because of the bravery of the soldiers, but also the most important thing is that the armor they wear is really good.

When a curved knife hits armor, at most a streak of sparks will fly, but when a Tang sword hits a Turk, it will often cause a very horrible wound.

Yun Chu always thought that He Yuanshan was just a jerk, but when he pulled out two melon-sized copper hammers from his waist and smashed them all the way forward, Yun Chu believed that this jerk could replace Fang Zheng as the Grand Pass Commander not because he knelt down to Pei Dongfeng.

The palace soldiers fought not only bravely, but Yun Chu, who was hiding behind He Yuanshan and strolling on the battlefield, soon discovered that the palace soldiers were actually scattered. At some point, they each led seven or eight Hu warriors, dividing the huge market street into a dozen smaller battlefields, and supported and relied on each other, fighting against the Turks of similar numbers, and faintly gained the upper hand.

He Yuanshan's copper hammer was very powerful. With one blow, the Turkic man standing in front of him tilted his neck and cried out, falling to one side. Yun Chu took the opportunity to chop the Hu man's neck with a knife, which reduced his pain.

The battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour. More soldiers appeared from both sides of the street and slowly squeezed into the middle of the street.

Yun Chu did not hear the voices of "kneel down and don't kill" or "surrender and don't kill", but only screams and the sound of weapons colliding.

After the last long scream, the market street was already full of blood.

He Yuanshan, covered in blood, coldly ordered Liu Xiong: "Find the Turkic people, as long as they are alive, I want everyone in this city to chop the Turkic dogs with a knife!"
