Chapter 81 I do everything to relieve your pain
Before the savage could howl, Han Lingshan reached out his hand and covered his mouth tightly. Shaking his head wildly, he twisted his hands tied behind his back vigorously, trying to get rid of all the restraints and die with the devil in front of him.
Unfortunately, the neck ring was connected to a wooden stake, and he couldn't break free. His hands were tightly bound by the cowhide rope, and he couldn't break free either. He didn't want to shed tears, but the tears were like spring water. It usually gushed out, and after a while, the hand Han Lingshan used to cover his mouth became wet.
"Do you want to kill these beasts to avenge your wife and children?"
Han Lingshan raised his hand to erase the savage's tearing of the corner of his eye because he opened his eyes too wide. The blood flowing out asked in a low voice.
When he let go of his hand, the savage would only hiss like a poisonous snake spitting out a message.
Han Lingshan stroked the savage’s head and said: “If you bear with me any longer, when we enter Hetuala, I will give you a chance to escape, a chance to revenge, and a chance to become a member of the tribe. When the time comes for revenge, what kind of weapon do you want?
When I captured you, the short knife in your hand was obviously not suitable for you. "How about a long knife like this?"
As he spoke, he pulled out his long knife and stuck it on the ground.
The savage looked at the long knife stuck in the snow hungrily and leaned forward hard.
"Maybe you still want this!"
Han Lingshan took another gourd of gunpowder and placed it next to the long knife.
The savage looked at Han Lingshan sadly.
"You have nothing now, your home, your wife, and your children are gone. I know that your tribe can only have one wife in your life, and she can give you a son." Women are more precious than pearls in the sea.
Do you want to avenge them?
Or lead your tribe to avenge them. In this way, you have great potential. He may become a hero of his people, look, there is a very small city here..."
Han Lingshan drew a simple city structure diagram of Hetuala on the snow.
At dawn, Lao Agu emerged from his hole in the ground and found Su Hetai holding a long knife and leaning against a tree trunk, seemingly sleeping.
He smiled slightly, came to Su Hetai, brushed off the ice and snow for him and said, "You are the leader, you shouldn't be on endless night watch."
Su Hetai rubbed the ice off his beard. Bingzhazi said: "I said that as long as the brothers follow me, I will be the first to charge and the last to retreat. This is why the brothers respect me as their leader.
Old Agu, we shouldn't Let them down. They have been disappointed once. If you do it again, there will be no future."
"You will definitely become a general respected by everyone."
Su Hetai laughed. Said: "This is also my goal."
"We will enter Hetuala tomorrow, and we willNow that we are rich, I hope we can meet a noble person and sell these savages for a good price. "
Su Hetai patted Lao Agu on the back and said: "Believe me, I am a person who has been blessed by the great lama. "
Old Agu laughed and said: "That's right, you are a person who has been blessed by the great lama. ”
“Get everyone up, let’s have something to eat and set off. You will be responsible for taking care of these savages during the day. We will succeed soon. There must be no mistakes.” "
"Today I will set up a sleeping nest for you between the two horses. You can sleep on the way, but I will wake you up when we get to Hetuala. ”
Su Hetai yawned and then glanced at the savage who lowered his head and remained silent. Then he walked into the den and woke everyone up by kicking and beating him. He found the cleanest one for himself. The place was drilled in.
Hetuala is the birthplace of Nurhachi, the hero of Jianzhou, and also the place where Nurhachi stayed after he became powerful.
This city originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty. One of them was later rebuilt by Nurhachi and became the first iconic capital of the Jianzhou people.
The city is not tall at all. It is divided into two cities, the inner and outer cities, with a radius of only ten miles.
The inner city is mainly occupied by Nurhaci’s family members and relatives. As the Jianzhou people moved the capital to Shengjing, most of the people left here are some old people who were abandoned. Gui and the old palace people.
These people have high seniority and high reputation, and are very unpopular with the new emperor. They also know that they cannot follow the emperor to Shengjing, so they stay in this old city. , lived a prosperous and healthy life.
When Nurhachi was still there, there were more than 20,000 households in the city, totaling more than 100,000 people, and there were tens of thousands of troops guarding the outer city. Now it is no longer what it used to be. At this grand occasion, there were only 800 Zhengbai Banner Guards in the city.
There were many buildings in the city, including a general platform, a school field, a warehouse area, ovens for manufacturing bows, arrows, and armor, and countless shops. , after all, there are many noble and wealthy people living here, including eight of the concubines left by Nurhachi.
Su Hetai and his party are naturally not allowed to enter the inner city. , even if he has a blue-flag waistband, he is not allowed to enter the inner city, which makes him somewhat disappointed.
The prosperity of Hetuala is completely different from that of Shengjing. The business scene here seems more primitive and more primitive.
The skins were freshly ripped from wild beasts and were still stained with blood. Precious medicinal materials like ginseng were piled on the ground like radishes and were left to be bargained for. Occasionally, there were some selling Haidong. Qing, holding the trained Haidongqing on his arm, kept selling it to the merchants.
However, today, the most dazzling business star is undoubtedly Su Hetai and his group.
When they drove the three hundred and eighty-six savages into Hetuala, they were greeted by loud cheers from the gate guards.
Compared with the rest of the cargo, these were about to become armored. The savages of human beings are the ones who build the stateThe most scarce and precious goods.
As soon as we entered the city, a dozen people who looked like housekeepers came to inquire about the price of these savages, but Old Agu rejected them one by one with a smile, saying that such good goods could only be sold to the most noble. people.
These steward-looking people did not get angry, nor did they have the idea of buying or selling by force. They just tore open the lice-covered fur coats of the savages, looked at the strong bodies of these savages, and then pinched open the savages’ skin. He looked at his teeth and left with a smile.
The group stayed at the largest inn in Hetuala, and the savages were also placed in the stables by the innkeeper.
The Jianzhou people who returned to the crowd were like fish swimming into the sea, borrowing Lao Agu's badge and going to their favorite place in the city.
At night, Han Lingshan squatted on a manger and smoked. The bright and dying cigarette butts kept making his face red, and then disappeared into darkness again.
“Brother Xikten, after we sell you, you will be free. I don’t know who your buyer will be, but it must be a powerful person.
p>If you want revenge, this is the most suitable place. Countless of your people were sold here and eventually sent to the army to die in battle.
In addition, I will stay. In this city, it’s up to you to take revenge. If you think we deserve it, then come here to find us.
I know you are all real warriors, but you don’t have any good armor. There are no sharp weapons such as bows and arrows, and there is no such thing as gunpowder.
But you are very lucky. The armor, weapons, and even gunpowder you want are all here, as long as you can capture and make the armor. , where you have all the weapons you want.
I have already told you that their guards are few and weak. I think your force is enough to destroy this city.
p>
I even heard that some of your clan members are imprisoned in a nearby dungeon. I don’t know how many there are, but do you remember the location of the dungeon?”
Darkness? The savage Xi Keten looked up at the man squatting on the manger and whispered: "Why do you want to help us?"
Han Lingshan sighed and said: "Your life is too hard. ."
"Why do you want to kill my wife and children again?"
"If you don't kill your wife and children, you will still be happily hunting in the dark forest until this happens. Before people caught you, you had no idea what kind of suffering your people had suffered.
If you didn’t kill your wife and children, how could you have the courage to swing a knife at your enemies and save them? Your people!
Your people have suffered too much in the black forest. Your food is never enough, your animal skins are never enough to wear, and your children will die from cold and hunger. Died...
Xikten, you have stayed in the dark forest for too long. Open your eyes and see what the world has become.
Why do you think so? So brave and kind yet can’t even eatIs food and clothing a problem?
Why can these people, relying on their large numbers, capture brave people like you to fight for them and rob for them?
Have you ever wondered why? "
Sikten's eyes sparkled in the darkness, and after a while he whispered: "If you had told me these things earlier, I would have killed my wife and children myself.
Han Lingshan shook his head in pain and said: "I'm sorry, Xikten, a hero must experience unbearable pain before he can become great. I don't want you to bear this burden." I will bear the pain of killing my wife and children, so you can hate me as much as you want without having any cowardly thoughts in your heart. Without them, you will be unable to do anything..."
As Han Lingshan's back completely disappeared into the darkness, Xikten stood up and stroked the neck ring that had cracked a gap on his neck. With a little force, the neck ring broke. .
He pulled out a gleaming short knife from his leggings, came to another savage who was tied to the pillar, pried open the neck ring, and whispered: "Atamuha, my brother. , we cannot trust that person and must start from tonight. ”
Han Lingshan returned to the room, sent new guards, and then came to his own room without taking off his shoes. He just sat cross-legged on the bed with a long knife on his knees. Quietly waiting for a new dawn to come
He believed that Xikten was a good leader. How could someone who could pretend to believe his lies and obey his words in a short period of time. Should he wait until he is sold tomorrow?
When the moon rose, it shone on his window lattice, and a few undetectable muffled sounds came out, and a smile appeared on Han Lingshan's face. He jumped up from the bed, reached out and grabbed the beam, and then pressed his body against the beam with both arms.
The tip of the knife penetrated through the crack in the door. He quietly opened the door bolt and walked in quietly. When he found that no one was in the room, he quietly backed out.
There was a corpse lying upside down at the door opposite, with his neck covered. The boss opened a hole, and he was slowly bleeding out. It was Lao Agu...
Han Lingshan continued to climb along the beams, and soon he came to the window along the thick beams. He turned over and pushed open the window and got out.
He turned over again and went up to the roof.
Standing on the roof, he looked at Hetuala in the moonlight and chuckled. , then took out a bundle of gunpowder from his arms, lit it, and threw it away to the house in the distance.
The explosion sounded, the house collapsed, and fire broke out.
The originally peaceful city suddenly became turbulent.
