PDLP Chapter 34 Schemes
Chapter 34 Schemes
This was Yang Silang's first real life-or-death battle with his sword!
With the inscription's enhancement, 220 strength is enough to fight the opponent to a standstill.
With the help of divine powers, my attack increased dramatically and my body's defense was also strengthened. Only then did I gain temporary protection from the copper skin and avoid being hacked to pieces by my opponent.
He feigned weakness, then suddenly unleashed a devastating attack, killing the enemy in one fell swoop!
Damn, this is much harder than killing Gao Laodao!
As expected of a copper-skinned warrior!
It was tough, but it was also really exhilarating!
Without the aid of supernatural powers, Yang Silang knew he wouldn't have been able to withstand the opponent's sharp blade, and he would most likely have been the one to die here...
Wait a minute, it seems like if I can't beat them, I can still run away.
Huh... I got so caught up in the bloodlust that I forgot.
That's not good, I need to change that next time.
He was weighing the gains and losses from the fight just now.
"Hold on, Fourth Brother... I'm coming to help you..." He was sighing when a series of cracking sounds came from behind him, and Wang Daniu charged down with the severed spear in hand.
Wang Daniu charged forward very aggressively in the first few steps.
Suddenly, he looked up and saw a man covered in blood standing there with his fists clenched, glancing at him only once.
thump……
Wang Daniu's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.
The other party is vicious.
His hair was wet and dripping with an unidentified red liquid. His face was covered with patches of liquid, making his features difficult to see.
His gray short-sleeved shirt was also stained, and the two characters "Sanshui" on his thick vest were almost covered by bloodstains.
Huh... Sanshui?
That build, that appearance... that's the fourth brother!
Wang Daniu gasped, his soul returning to his body, and he shakily got up.
"Fourth Brother?"
Yang Silang replied.
"Da Niu, it's me. Why did you kneel down just now?"
Wang Daniu said sheepishly that he was just too tired.
He looked down at the ground and saw a flat, human-shaped object lying on the hillside, its death gruesome, though still intact, with a leather sack attached to its head.
The ground around them looked as if it had been plowed by two wild beasts, with footprints several feet deep. In addition, there were broken blades all over the ground, and two broken half-swords stuck in the ground, which clearly indicated that a fierce battle had taken place.
"Fourth Brother..." Wang Daniu swallowed hard. "Am I... too late?"
Yang Silang waved his hand.
"I told you not to come any closer."
"Luckily you're late."
He pointed to the puddle on the ground.
"That thief was incredibly skilled; I almost died at his hands."
Wang Daniu frowned, looked at the puddle on the ground, then turned to look at his fourth brother, who seemed to be a reincarnation of a killing god, exuding murderous aura. He didn't seem to have a single injury on his body, and the blood was all from the enemy.
He was momentarily unsure whether his fourth brother was being sarcastic or not.
"Quick, help me sit down." Yang Silang's body went limp.
The magic is amazing, the clothes are ripped off!
The more intense the pleasure during the act, the more exhausting it becomes afterward.
His period of weakness, like the one cup of tea, has arrived.
Wang Daniu hurriedly helped Yang Silang sit down. The smell of blood on his fourth brother made him want to vomit, but he dared not, and he held it in his throat.
After a while.
Yang Silang stood up, holding the broken knife, and strode down the mountain using his stance training. In the blink of an eye, he had covered several feet, as if his previous softness was just an illusion.
"Fourth Brother... what are you going to do again?" Wang Daniu called out timidly. "What can I do?"
Yang Silang brandished his sword.
"You just wait, I'll kill all the bastards following below..."
"Cut off this bastard's head and report the good news to Commander Ruan."
Wang Daniu shuddered upon hearing this.
Is this still the Yang Laosi I know?
Would you cut off your own head?
He wanted to slap himself for telling you to stop talking.
Cutting off someone's head is terrifying, but Fourth Brother's appearance is even more horrifying. He wisely picked up the broken knife from the ground and, trembling, began to strike...
An hour later.
Deep in the mountains and forests.
Yang Silang sat cross-legged, looking exhausted. The blood on his clothes had frozen. He leaned on a waist knife that had been passed down through generations, its blade riddled with nicks and serrations from his repeated use, making it look even more menacing.
Wang Daniu used a hole in the ground to gather some dry firewood, lit it, and roasted a few steamed buns.
Six grinning human heads were laid out on the ground, their faces already bluish in the cold weather, their eyes covered with a layer of dead fish ash.
Next to the human head was an open bundle.
The bundle contained several knives, a long spear, and a crudely made flag with the character "轰" (hōng, meaning bomb).
There was also a wolf-head waist token and some silver.
Commander Ruan examined a narrow waist knife and a waist tag from all angles.
he murmured.
"Wait a minute, this is a military officer's waist badge from the Chen Kingdom, and he's a battalion commander, half a rank higher than me. This waist knife is also of the Chen Kingdom standard."
"How did he end up in the Sky-Shattering Team?"
"Oh no!" He slapped his leg, cried out in pain, and realized he had hit his broken leg. Cold sweat poured down his back as he hissed and gasped, "No wonder these bandits are so powerful!"
"This is shameless behavior from the Chen Kingdom; they sent government troops to infiltrate the bandit ranks and act as key figures, stirring up trouble!"
"I said, how could Commander Tie, a veteran of many battles, be so careless as to be surrounded and killed!"
"That makes sense!" he said urgently. "This news must be reported to the government."
Ruan Qianzong turned to look at Yang Silang.
"Brother...you've done a great job!"
Yang Silang shook his head. He understood. The turmoil in Jiangdong Province seemed to be caused by enemy forces taking advantage of the situation.
However, this is not something he should be considering.
"No..." Yang Silang shook his head and said slowly, "It's clearly you who performed the great service!"
He doesn't really need that kind of great achievement right now.
If he becomes a commoner, even if he achieves merit, he might only get a minor official position at best, and he might even be confined to the military and subject to restrictions.
However, judging from the performance of the officers and soldiers of the Great Shun Kingdom, Yang Silang was not at ease with them. He never knew when they might be betrayed and killed by their own teammates.
Iron General, a sixth-rank official, was already a master of iron-boned martial arts. He could die on the battlefield without warning. Where could he go to reason with anyone?
Right now, let's focus on strengthening ourselves...
I'll consider joining the army when I can escape without using my supernatural powers and even a horse can't catch me.
He suppressed his inner thoughts and spoke slowly.
"When the camp was breached, Commander Ruan bravely organized his men to resist step by step, killing enemy soldiers with copper skins and obtaining their waist tokens to learn of the urgent military situation. He had no choice but to lead his troops to break through the encirclement..."
"His subordinates were loyal and brave, and many died in battle. Even the commander himself was surrounded and had his leg broken by enemy experts. Fortunately, he was helped by porters Yang and Wang to cross the mountain and risk his life to send the intelligence back to Gongzhou Prefecture, exposing the great conspiracy of the Chen Kingdom."
This credit, if it falls on Commander Ruan, will surely help him get a good promotion.
It's nice to rest in the shade under a big tree.
Of course, the lightning strikes down and kills the big tree, so what does it have to do with him?
Yang Silang spoke with great enthusiasm, his spittle flying everywhere.
General Ruan was mesmerized by what he heard.
Wang Daniu was dumbfounded.
"By the way... how does your cheap brother-in-law treat your sister?" Yang Silang suddenly asked.
After thinking for a moment, General Ruan honestly replied.
"Actually, it's not unusual; the prefect doesn't lack concubines."
"My sister begged and pleaded for this position."
"It looks glamorous, but in reality, you can only get a tiny bit of profit; the higher-ups have already divided it all up."
Yang Silang laughed.
"This crushing defeat will leave everyone, from top to bottom, with plenty of people to suffer!"
"Do you think he needs more credit? Find a reason to share some of the credit with him, and then spend some money to get him to help you."
"If you were to be promoted from a commander, you could at least become a garrison commander, right?"
"Once you become the garrison commander, we brothers will benefit from your position, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, Commander Ruan was overjoyed. Ignoring his leg pain, he rushed forward, grabbed Yang Silang's hands, and said affectionately.
My parents gave me life!
"My brother-in-law promoted me!"
"The one who saved my life and can even promote me is you, Brother Yang!"
"Brother, you're like a second parent to me, brother-in-law!"
Yang Silang pushed him away with a look of disgust... Go away...
What a mess! Brother-in-law, parents, brothers—how am I supposed to handle all this?
