Chapter 248 The brutal alien invaders

Although the flying dragon is a bird that is not good at flying, it is still much faster than the pheasant.

Most of these birds usually move on trees, but do not live on trees. Instead, they will burrow into the snow and sleep. When they are shocked, they usually run a few steps before taking off. The flight distance is not long, but they will fall again after one or two meters. But even so, their movements are much faster than pheasants.

Because the flying dragon has this level of sensitivity, it is difficult for ordinary hunters to capture, even those well-trained archers to shoot one.

Often, it runs away before aiming. When you aim again, it will drill into the bushes or deep snow-covered potholes, giving you an antelope hanging on its horns, without any trace.

It is precisely because the flying dragon is extremely difficult to capture that Zhang Laowu has no idea how to praise Li Zhiyun. While envious of the "other child", he also lamented that his son was incompetent.

"The king of Goguryeo likes to eat flying dragons the most. You might as well go to Xuantu City if you just bring a few flying dragons to sell in the city, and someone will definitely hire you as a guest of honor." After Zhang Laowu educated his son, he explained to Li Zhiyun and the other two, explaining why he envied Li Zhiyun so much.

"Why should Uncle Zhang be so polite? Since you also know that it's easy for me to capture the flying dragon, why not let your brother and sister eat more? Well, is the King of Goguryeo in Xuantu City?"

Li Zhiyun put the flying dragon leg that Zhang Laowu had been pinched to him back into Zhang Xiaoshuan's bowl, and then used his eyes to signal Yu Li Ernu to give the good meat that Zhang Laowu had pinched to them to their daughter.

Feilong meat is indeed delicious, not to mention in this green era where there is no source of pollution in the world? However, Feilong's body is far smaller than the fat pheasant, and there is not much meat on his body. As long as he wants to eat, he can eat it every day, so why should he shorten the mouths of other people's children?

So Li Zhiyun gave up the meat and followed the topic to inquire about the political outline nearby. The three of them were about to go deep into the tiger's den to find out the whereabouts of Yushang's father Yu Zenan, and they were more likely to encounter Yuan Gai Suwen and then fight. It would not work without finding out the reality of Gao Guli's military and political affairs in advance.

Xuantu City is Shenyang in later generations, with the foot of Changbai Mountain to the north. Xuantu is about 600 miles away from the local Liucheng. Since the King of Goguryeo is in Xuantu, then Yuan Taizuo and Yuan Gaisuwen and his son must be there.

Zhang Laowu is a local from Liucheng, and Liucheng belonged to Liaodong County during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Whether the locals in Liucheng can be regarded as descendants of Yan and Huang for the time being, but it is certain that the residents here are definitely not Goguryeo.

When Zhang Laowu heard Li Zhiyun ask, he told what he knew, saying that the King of Goguryeo wanted to attack Yizhou and Yingzhou, so he went to Xuantucheng to take charge of the army. In order to expand his military strength, he sent troops to various cities and towns to capture the strong men several times.

The Goguryeo people were very rude to the locals. They not only arrested strong men to join the army, but also arrested civilians to do hard labor and built city walls including Liucheng to prevent the Sui State from sending troops to recover.

In addition, they certainly would not let women go. Any outstanding women in the local area will be immediately captured for the enjoyment of the royal nobles, and even some ordinary widows will not let go. They will be taken back as servants and do some cooking and washing tasks.

Of course, Goguryeo people are also very greedy for money. As long as they are not particularly important people or beautiful women, they can be replaced by wealth. For example, paying a flying dragon can offset a place for a strong man, paying a hundred lively Gayazi can keep a yellow girl, and paying a wild boar can keep a widow and continue to be a widow at home.

However, how can the wild boar be easily caught by ordinary people? As mentioned earlier, the difficulty of hunting the flying dragon is not easy to match? Especially in summer, wild boars like to rub on the trunks of pine trees, rub their pine oil and roll on the ground. The soil and stones stuck in them are natural armor, and even tigers can't bite it.

Under normal circumstances, even tigers can't beat wild boars one-on-one, let alone ordinary farm hunters.

As for the fresh and lively Gayazi, there is no need to think that when you catch ten or eight, people may not come to your house to catch the genius. When you catch the genius, where can you get these 100 live fish?

Speaking of the sadness and anger, Zhang Laowu pulled away his jacket and exposed ferocious scars on his chest. "This is the wound left by hunting wild boars. In order to save my daughter, my neighbor Wang Laoqi and I caught four wild boars in total. When we caught the fourth one, Wang Laowu was bitten to death by the wild boar..."

The invasion of aliens will never be truly kind to the locals. The invaders who are as cruel as wild beasts are not only Japanese devils in later generations. Li Zhiyun can understand Zhang Laowu's feelings very well, but there is no comfort to say.

What else can someone in such an environment like Zhang Laowu? Resist? Even if he is a farmer hunter, how can he fight against or even overthrow a brutal regime? He seems to be able to survive.

After dinner, Li Zhiyun continued to carve his little man. Yu Li and his second daughter accompanied him in the candlelight. Zhang Laowu and his wife and a pair of children laid bedding on the bed, and they could rest after the guests went to bed. This is the case with the northern farmer family. No matter how many of them were sleeping on a fire kang, Zhang Laowu asked his daughter to sleep in the middle of the kang, indicating that he was adjacent to one of Yu Li and his second daughters.

"How is You Cuicui?" Li Zhiyun never asked You Cuicui. It was not that he had forgotten this girl, but that Yu Shang was not really caring about her, so he was too lazy to accept her favor. It was not until recently that the two and Li Rongrong lived and died together and changed their attitude.

Yu Shang replied: "She is very good, her injuries have been healed, and she has also become Xiao Meiniang's maid. Xiao Meiniang treats her well. I have said that even if she looks like her, Yang Guang will not covet it."

Li Zhiyun nodded, put down the "You Cuicui" in his hand and said, "You all go to bed, I..."

As soon as I said "me", I suddenly heard a few barking sounds of dogs in the distance, and then the dogs in the entire village barked one after another, as if some strangers were coming from the village.

Raising dogs is a habit of the people of northern farms. They just want to guard the house, so every household has several native dogs, and few have one. Zhang Laowu's family has three.

Hearing the barking of dogs, Zhang Laowu and his wife's faces changed at the same time. Zhang Laowu's wife first asked in horror: "Come again?"

Zhang Laowu said to himself in fear and confusion: "No! It's cold and cold, how could it be a war? They have no reason to come and recruit soldiers again!"

But he immediately asked his wife: "Wife, is there any flying dragon brought by the little brother of the Li family?"

The rice was made by the woman, but in fact, both Li Zhiyun and Zhang Laowu knew that the woman had left two of them and didn’t make them. The reason was very simple. Just look at how many flying dragon legs there were in the vegetable bowl.

Sure enough, Zhang Laowu's wife whispered awkwardly: "The pot is too small and I can't stew so much, so I left two."

Zhang Laowu immediately showed joy and said with relief: "I won't be afraid like this. Thanks to my little brother of the Li family, otherwise I'm afraid my son and daughter will be captured by them this time."

While speaking, there was even more noise in the village. The barking of dogs was mixed with people's crying and dogs' whine. I thought that a dog who wanted to bite was killed by someone and sobbed before he died.

Zhang Laowu was so glad that he couldn't help but feel worried: "Little brother of the Li family, please take your two sisters to hide, right? There is a vegetable cellar behind my house and no one knows. If you don't dislike it..."

Just like raising dogs, every farmer in the north has a cellar, which is usually between one meter and two meter deep, and the entrance of the cellar is only two feet square, allowing only one person to rise and fall in and out. The bottom of the cellar is much wider, or more than one meter square. This cellar is used to store vegetables in winter without fear of freezing, and in summer, it will not rot. It also has an ice-cold effect. It can be regarded as a natural refrigerator.

Zhang Laowu was worried that Li Zhiyun's two unreasonably beautiful "sisters" were snatched by the Goguryeo people, so he kindly helped. If it weren't for the two flying dragons in his family, then his son and his daughter would have to go into the vegetable cellar to hide.

"No." Li Zhiyun waved his hand and smiled, "I'll wait for them here. You don't need to give them those two flying dragons. Just keep one for eating slowly."

Although I met Goguryeo soldiers several times along the way and didn't do anything, I was giving Yu Shang a face. Now that this group of Goguryeo people are going to hit the gun, why are you polite? Let's kill a few so that they can never return.

"Zhiyun, this won't work." Yu Shang saw Li Zhiyun's plan and immediately expressed his objection, "This way you will implicate Uncle Zhang's family!"

Li Rongrong also said, "Yes, of course we are fine when we are here, but we will leave after all. When we leave, what should we do if the Goguryeo people come to settle the score with Uncle Zhang's family?"

"Then I will kill all the Goguryeo people who entered the village today, so that they don't know who was killing!" Li Zhiyun gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it necessary for me to attack alien invaders?"

His words scared the Zhang family of four. Why is this young man so fierce? Not to mention whether he, a child, could kill the arrival of Goguryeo army, he would dare to do such a big thing?

"That's not OK!" Yu Shang still stopped him, "If you will implicate the entire Dadongtun, unless you kill all the Goguryeo people near Liucheng and then put the flag of the Sui Kingdom, but then you will fight to the death with Xuantu's Goguryeo army? Can you do it?"

In fact, Li Zhiyun also knew that Yu Shang was right, but he really hated such aliens who offended my territory. Even if he offended me, the strong Han people would be punished. This sentence is not a casual statement. If he didn't have this ability, he wouldn't think too much, but he now has this ability!

While pondering, I heard people shouting that the horses were neighing and had arrived at the door of the Zhang family. A voice saying Chinese was shouting: "The old rules are the same as everyone in every household, and you will pay money and things to give to the person to choose. Whose family is this? You can't report your personal title yet?"

After hearing this, Zhang Laowu couldn't help but tremble all over and whispered: "Brother, our family is out first. If you don't want them to appear, you'd better go to the cellar behind. There is a willow basket on the cellar lid..."

Li Zhiyun looked up at the roof, lowered her head and waved her hand and said, "I said I don't need it, but I don't need it. Let's go out together. Don't worry, not only your two brothers and sisters, but I have all protected the people in your village."

After saying that, he stepped out and walked past the kitchen. When he was passing by, he touched a pair of chopsticks from the stove in his hand. Yu Li and the other girl immediately followed behind.

Zhang Laosan's family was dumbfounded and thought to themselves: Can you protect the people in this village? What kind of protection do you have? But people from outside urging me tightly, so they didn't dare to neglect at the moment, so they hurriedly followed them.

Because there was a guest to stay, the three dogs raised by Zhang Laosan's family had already been tied up and were yelling wildly in a corner of the yard. When he saw the owner coming out, he screamed even more fiercely. A man outside scolded in Goguryeo, "This dog deserves to die, kill him and eat meat!"

Before he finished speaking, three sharp weapons broke through the air and three feather arrows shot down from the roof of Zhang Laosan's house.

At this time, the night was deep, and the crescent moon in the sky had not yet risen to the middle of the sky. The farmyard was dark and the visibility was very low. The archer clearly determined the position of the dog by relying on the barking of the dog, and shooting three consecutive beads. Such shooting techniques were not something ordinary soldiers could do.

Li Zhiyun didn't take this person seriously. He had known that there was someone on the roof, and the first person he wanted to kill was this person, but Yu Shang was reasonably stopped. At this time, he heard the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, and then shook his hands and shot out four chopsticks. Three chopsticks were shot out in a straight line with the method of Xiao Li's flying knife, and shot down three feather arrows flying towards the dog.

The other one was shot backwards with featherless archers, flying several feet behind the snow in the yard, and then suddenly drew a strange arc and climbed to the roof.

The man on the roof was waiting for the praise from the people outside the yard after the three dogs died suddenly. He never thought that his beaded feather arrow would be intercepted. How could such a martial arts master be hidden in such a village?

Of course, he didn't expect that there was a fantasy and strange hidden weapon technique in the world. He realized that someone had been lit up after the acupoints in his chest were hit by chopsticks, his whole body was stiff and his limbs were sore and numb.

Who pointed my acupoint? Where is this person? At this moment, he couldn't help but feel shocked, but he could no longer speak to ask. Then he fell down from the roof with a backward green onion.

Outside the yard, there were Goguryeo soldiers holding torches standing from east to west, three steps and five steps. Standing in front of the soldiers were trembling villagers, who were taken to an open space opposite Zhang Laowu's house.

In front of the villagers, an officer riding on a tall horse showed a puzzled expression on his face. He was puzzled because he heard the dog of this family still barking, but just now he clearly heard three sharp arrows breaking through the air. What's going on? Could Yu Tianjie's arrow be shot missed?

So he asked tentatively: "Master Yu, are you okay?"
