In the middle of jungle. 密林当中。 The innumerable mountain bandit secret ambush, coldly is staring below prison van. 无数山匪隐秘潜伏,冷冷盯着下方囚车。 - Chirp chirp- 呜-啾啾- Quite has the warbling of rhythm to resound, in mountain Feiyan flashes through the bloodthirsty ray, jumps out after the stone, thick patch of grass and tree superior place. 颇有韵律的鸟鸣声响起,山匪眼中闪过嗜血光芒,从石后、草丛、树上等地方窜出。 „Brothers, taking advantage of body clothes.” “兄弟,借身衣裳。” The sound resounds in some mountain bandit together behind, had not then looked, then did not have the sound thoroughly. 一道声音在某山匪身后响起,还未回头看,便彻底没了声息。 Zhou Yi changes the clothes, the supernatural power revolution displays changed/easy Gugong, after the facial features change, supplements with disguise technique, had 78 phase splitting shapes with the mountain bandit of dying. 周易换上衣服,法力运转施展易骨功,脸型变化后再辅以易容术,与死去的山匪有七八分相像。 At this time. 此时。 The imperial guard on mountain road, has discovered the difference. 山道上的禁军,已经发现了异样。 The imperial guard commands Yang Shou to see in the mountain the bird to be startled to fly, waves to hint to stop marching, the order scouts on the mountain to inquire. 禁军统领杨寿见山中鸟雀惊飞,挥手示意停止行军,命令斥候去山上打探。 The waiting does not see to scout for a long time, has broken in Dingshan to have the ambush. 等待许久不见斥候回来,已然断定山中有埋伏。 „Array, meets the enemy!” “列阵,迎敌！” Yang Shou leads to be the imperial guard elite, gathers the prison van rapidly, the arrange/cloth becomes the circle formation standby. 杨寿所率乃禁军精锐,迅速将囚车汇聚,布成圆阵待命。 „Ha! Heaven on! I am under the Son of Heaven protect the law, today kills off Li Tufu clansman, offers sacrifices for the Son of Heaven!” “哈哈哈！苍天在上！吾乃天王麾下护法,今日杀尽李屠夫族人,为天王献祭！” The deafening laughing wildly sound transmits, later on the mountain flies dozens giant stones, such as the raindrop pounds to army. 震耳欲聋的狂笑声传来,随后山上飞来数十块巨石,如雨点般砸向军阵。 „Stone car(riage)!” “投石车！” Yang Shou calls out in alarm one, scattered army, the giant stone the overhead has not pounded to fall with enough time. 杨寿惊呼一声,还未来得及疏散军阵,巨石已经当头砸落。 Giant stone that throws from the mountain, the might impersonal force can resist, pounds in the crowd, the pitiful yell sound is lingering on faintly. 从山上抛落的巨石,威力非人力能抵挡,砸在人群中,惨叫声不绝于耳。 For successive 34 rounds the giant stone, then scattered the imperial guard formation. 连续34轮巨石,便将禁军阵型打散。 „Kills! Kills......” “杀！杀……” On the both sides mountains resounds to the war cries, hearing the sound at least to have several thousand people. 两侧山上响起冲杀声,听声音至少有数千人。 Yang Shou shouts loudly: „Array, array!” 杨寿高声呼喊:“列阵,列阵！” The imperial guard rallies the formation reluctantly, what coming is arrows falling like the rain, is the casualty is serious. 禁军勉强重整阵型,迎面而来的是箭如雨下,又是死伤惨重。 „Defend!” “御敌！” In the Yang Shou eye flashes through desperately, non- fears the enemy number, but was in the heart had other guesses. 杨寿眼中闪过绝望,非是惧怕敌人数量,而是心中有了其他猜测。 At least more than ten stone car(riage)s, become the archer of organization system, which is the mountain bandit or the rebel army can raise, the opposite party shouted loudly the origin intentionally obviously taking advantage of the reputation. 至少十几架投石车,成建制的弓箭手,哪是山匪或者叛军能养得起,对方故意高呼来历显然是借个名头。 The imperial guard and mountain Feifu engages in hand-to-hand combat, then detected the difference. 禁军与山匪甫一短兵相接,便察觉出了异样。 Solemn imperial guard elite, every day trains the hardship physique, finally the strength does not beat mountain bandit to be tyrannical. 堂堂禁军精锐,每日训练打熬筋骨,结果力气不敌山匪强横。 Yang Shou makes zhang (3.33 m) two long-barrelled guns select several mountain bandits, is seeing immediately clearly, the imperial guard has retreated in defeat again and again. 杨寿使丈二长枪挑死几个山匪,在马上看得更加清楚,禁军已经节节败退。 „I cannot so die!” “我不能这般死了！” In the commander in chief heart has had the retreating thought that subordinate soldiers how dying war, does not know that forgets intentionally, around mountain road does not have the mountain bandit to block off. 主帅心中已经生出撤退念头,麾下兵卒又岂会死战,也不知故意还是遗忘,山路前后都无山匪堵截。 Therefore, after Yang Shou takes the lead to progress to flee, the imperial guard in abundance to retreats. 于是,在杨寿率先策马逃离后,禁军纷纷向前后溃逃。 The goal of mountain thief is a prison van, does not chase down the imperial guard, brandishes the weapon to slaughter the criminal. 山贼的目标是囚车,也不去追杀禁军,挥舞着兵器屠戮犯人。 In the Li clansman hand in prison van on the foot brings the shackles, is incapable of resisting radically, can only helplessly was slaughtered. 囚车中的李家族人手上脚上带着镣铐,根本无力抵抗,只能眼睁睁的遭受屠戮。 In mountain forest. 山林中。 Zhou Yi is carrying youngster Li Hong, stands on the branch. 周易拎着少年李鸿,站在树枝上。 „Should walk, a while inspection skeleton, may discover the difference.” “该走了,一会儿检查尸骨,或许会发现异样。” The imperial guard and mountain bandit tangled warfare time, Zhou Yi while rescues Li Hong randomly, kept a build to be similar on the prison van, facial features shatter mountain bandit. 禁军与山匪混战时候,周易趁乱将李鸿救出,在囚车上留了个体型相似、面容破碎的山匪。 „Senior waits a bit, I must look at the clansman dead with own eyes, good this hatred to remember that is deeper!” “前辈稍等,我要亲眼看着族人死,好将这仇恨记得更深！” Li Hong has nothing to make a tearful scene sadly, listening to mother, elder brother and family member to wail the pitiful yell, dies under the mountain bandit blade. 李鸿没有任何哭闹悲伤,听着母亲、兄长、亲人哀嚎惨叫,一个个死在山匪刀下。 A moment later. 片刻之后。 The Li clansman body dies all, the mountain bandit turns on the prison van, exhibits the skeleton. 李氏族人尽数身死,山匪打开囚车,将尸骸一个个陈列开来。 In mountain bandit goes out of several to wear the cheongsam, has taken inventory the number, including several skeleton facial features covered with blood, identifies its build appearance carefully. 山匪中走出几个穿长衫的,清点过数目,其中有几具尸骸面容血肉模糊,又仔细辨认其体型打扮。 „What making a move is the Jiangnan aristocratic family.” “出手的是江南世家。” Zhou Yi hears clearly several cheongsams to talk, said: „They have not suspected you, only considers in the middle of the tangled warfare, on the face received the heavy losses.” 周易听清几个长衫对话,说道:“他们没有怀疑你,只当是混战当中,脸上受了重创。” „ That several are brother-in-law Li Chi, male cousin Li Yi, younger male cousin Li Liang, only misses 12 years old with me, the build is also similar. “那几个是小叔李驰、堂兄李义、堂弟李良,与我只差一二岁,体型也差不多。 The big brother thoughts were meticulous, fear me to be captured by the brocade uniformed guard, dispatching the person to destroy their facial features. ” The Li Hong sound is quiet, only has the both eyes scarlet hyperemia. 大哥心思缜密,恐我遭锦衣卫追捕,遣人将他们面容毁了。”李鸿声音平静无波,唯有双目赤红充血。 „To be honest, I favor your elder brother. Disfigures one's face with the person of beginning, does not know probably, goal that your elder brother does that!” “说实话,我更看好你哥。无论是毁容和动手之人,大概都不知晓,你哥这么做的目的！” Zhou Yi is carrying the Li Hong front piece, several vertical leap vanishes in the middle of the mountain forest. 周易拎着李鸿衣襟,几个纵跃消失在山林当中。 ...... …… Northern border. 北疆。 Araki. 荒城。 Listens to the name to know that is the place of bitter cold. 听名字就知道是苦寒之地。 The Fengyang country exile criminals in this place, the nearby have the washer mine, has dug to dying or pardoning. 凤阳国流放犯人都在此地,附近有座铁矿山,一直挖到死或者大赦。 The hoofbeat was intermittent, awakened the on duty soldiers. 马蹄声阵阵,惊醒了值守兵卒。 „Stops!” “停下！” The soldiers draw a sword in abundance, block two of coming to ride: „What comes to Araki to make?” 兵卒纷纷抽刀,拦下呼啸而来的两骑:“来荒城做什么？” „Visits the old friend.” “探望故人。” Zhou Yi from falls immediately, the bone fell two silver ingot common: „Well?

The two sides shops are empty, the broken window broken family tradition blows, squeak turns to make noise just like the ghost. 城中破壁残垣,街道上野草丛生,连个人影也见不到。两边店铺空荡荡,破窗户破门风一吹,吱扭扭作响恍如鬼怪。 „Our is the army station, was also quite lively in the past, now the army went to Yizhou, is only left over an empty city......” “咱这本来是边军驻地,当年也颇为繁华,如今边军去了屹州,就只剩下个空城……” The city gate officer seemed to think the owing heart that money receives, acted as the tour guide on own initiative, narrated the Araki historical change. 城门官似乎觉得银子收的亏心,主动充当起了导游,叙说荒城历史变迁。 „Looks at that to gather the stage, once Duke Zhen beat a drum in this......” “看那聚将台,曾经镇国公在此擂鼓……” „This tavern has the Divine Capital good wine, the Duke Zhen successful battle comes back each time, can drink one......” “这间酒馆有神京的美酒,镇国公每次胜仗回来,都会来喝一回……” „......” “……” The city gate officer said the matter, is most likely related with Duke Zhen, only had the northern border, just now knew the hold of Li Wu prestige, affected the profoundness. 城门官所说之事,十之八九与镇国公有关,也唯有到了北疆,方才知晓李武名望之盛,影响之深远。 Li Hong said following the city gate officer, as if sees the father, is gathering the stage palm soldier, drinks to heart's content in the tavern. 李鸿顺着城门官所说,似乎看到父亲,在聚将台掌兵,在酒馆畅饮。 Zhou Yi patted the Li Hong shoulder, passes on the sound said: „Was sure to remember that your big brother urged!” 周易拍了拍李鸿肩膀,传音道:“切记你大哥叮嘱！” The Li Hong slight nod, restraining represses the mood. 李鸿微微点头,收敛按捺情绪。 „Mister felt relieved, before un- promote innate, I then change surname for the week.” “先生放心,未晋先天之前,我便改姓为周。” Function of money in Araki, the Zhou Yi estimate is bigger. 银子在荒城的作用,比周易预想的还要大。 Recommended after the city gate officer, household room Manger Sun was very reasonable, direct initial price. 经过城门官引荐,户房孙管事很是通情达理,直接开价。 „Living 1200, on household register extra in addition 220, treat both the young and old honestly!” “活着的一个一千两,上户籍额外加二百两,童叟无欺！”
