Chapter 19: Turning things around

After this battle, when camping is often set up, someone will go to Qi Qi to talk. Zhao Gang wanted to transfer Qi Qi to the deputy position, but Qi Qi refused. Every night the Longteng brothers competed, and no one harassed Qi Qi. Almost every time I competed, I would ask Qi Qi for advice.

In this way, they made it to three days without a hitch.

On this day, they came to an entrance to a canyon.

Zhao Gang raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and said loudly, "Brothers, be careful, we are going into the canyon." ”

Everyone cheered up and followed Zhao Gang into the canyon. This canyon is the gateway to Sekijo. Dragons had passed through the canyon a few times before, and had encountered bandits here almost every time.

The bandits are not unreasonable people, and on several occasions they have used money to eliminate disasters and survive safely.

However, they gave away people and sundries a few times, and the thieves fought with them to kill them and rob them, but they didn't get any benefit.

This time it was different, this time it was a whole box of gold and silver treasures.

Zhao Gang didn't dare to guarantee that the bandits would not be moved when they learned about it.

Entering the canyon, the light suddenly dimmed. The long and narrow canyon was like a devouring beast, which made the mood of the Longteng brothers extremely unstable.

It had rained before, and water was dripping on both sides of the canyon, and the ground was full of potholes. Looking up, the canyon is about ten zhang high.

Qi Qi, Zhao Gang and his entourage walked through the canyon, and the horses' hooves crackled in the puddles. In this way, more than 30 zhang passed without incident.

Suddenly stopped.

At this moment, six or seven feet ahead, there stood a group of people, their clothes were sewn and mended, their unkempt hair was tied up haphazardly with grass roots, their skin was dark, and they all carried broadswords and broadswords in their hands.

Qi Qi subconsciously looked overhead, and saw that both sides of the mountain top were lined up with archers, pulling the full moon bow and pointing at them one by one.

It's not easy to get past this canyon.

Zhao Gang stepped forward and hugged his fists, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are from Nanxun City's Longteng Dart, please open the way and let us go." ”

"Nanxun Longteng, acquaintance," said the woman in the lead.

Only then did Qi Qi notice that the leader of the bandits was actually a woman, and it was a beautiful woman. Although the woman is dressed simply, it is difficult to hide her graceful demeanor. The green silk is obviously well cared for, not only supple, but also well-strung with a branch, dignified and decent.

She was extremely tall, with a pair of long white and jade legs under a simple covering. The way of holding the sword is also different, those rough men are either carried on their shoulders or played with in their hands, and their postures are casual and lazy.

She is the tip of the sword pointing to the ground, and the swordsman is full of style.

She finished speaking, "The old rule, 10,000 copper coins." ”

Zhao Gang smiled, "Isn't it too much for 10,000 taels of copper coins?"

The woman brushed off the hanging silk of her sideburns, her movements were soft, but her words were extremely sharp, "Do you think this is a vegetable market to buy vegetables?

If someone dared to talk to Zhao Gang like this, that person would be half-crippled if he didn't die, but now he could only laugh and say, "Don't dare, then it will be ten thousand taels of copper coins." ”

Zhao Gang looked up at the archer on the top of the mountain and ordered Zhang Hu to hand over the money to the woman.

The woman held the money bag in her hand, nodded, and threw it to the person next to her, and then raised her chin at Zhao Gang and the others, "Go, check and check their goods." ”

Zhao Gang's heart lake was shaken, so wouldn't the contents of the box be exposed?

All the brothers of Longteng became nervous.

A few rough men carried big knives and walked towards Zhao Gang and the others.

Zhao Gang said, "This woman, since we also gave the money to buy the road, you don't have to do this, right? If you take the money and delay our dart, won't you be upset?"

The rough men stopped and looked at the woman.

The woman paused, raised her eyebrows, and said, "What are you afraid of? When your darts should arrive, they will still arrive. ”

The roughmen keep going.

"We have a rule in the dart shop, the goods are not opened, once opened, it is a taboo, and the dart road is not smooth from then on," Zhao Gang said sternly.

The rough men paused again and looked at the woman.

"Hey," the woman said disapprehantly, "are you a fool to me? It's not the first time you've been here, I haven't seen you say anything before, why do you suddenly have a rule this time?"

Without waiting for the rough man to move, Zhao Gang said.

"In any case, you can't open this cover. Please also ask the woman to let us go quickly, don't delay our darts. ”

The woman frowned slightly, and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense!

"You dare?!" Zhao Gang and his party drew their swords and pointed at a few rough men.

The rough men looked back at the woman.

The woman slowly raised her sword and pointed at Zhao Gang, her tone was extremely cold, "If you dare to move, I will let you all die here today!"

Zhao Gang gritted his teeth, and in the end he could only take back the splitting mountain. For now, I can only resign myself to fate.

A few rough men lifted the lid and looked inside, frowning slightly, it was some brocade clothes, rouge and other things. They informed the woman about this, and the woman lightly ordered, "Search inside!"

Zhao Gang's heart twitched.

A few rough men put their hands into the depths of the box, tinkered with it for a while, and took it out, and everyone saw that it was gold and silver jewelry.

A couple of rough men put things back and walked back to the woman.

Zhao Gang and the others silently pressed their hands on the hilt of the sword.

The woman and the bandit looked at them fixedly, and did not say a word.

The temperature in the canyon suddenly cooled, and there was a chill in the air.

Qi Qi silently pressed his hand on the hilt of the Long Yi Sword, and with this press, the temperature around him plummeted, even lower than those places around him.

The women and bandits finally made a move, and like Zhao Gang and the others, they pressed their hands on their respective weapons.

Zhao Gang and the others all felt a strong sense of oppression, and their heartbeats couldn't help but accelerate.

The two sides remained at a stalemate for a long time.

At a certain moment, a coquettish drink pierced the sky.

"Kill!"

When the words fell, the two sides drew their swords and sprinted, one by one roaring fiercely, and the feet "stepped on" continuously, and the dust was agitated for a while, so shocking, as if thousands of troops and horses were attacking.

The archer on the top of the mountain let go of the full moon bow, and the arrows pierced the sky and shot at Zhao Gang and the others like a long rainbow.

Zhao Gang and the others charged while swinging their swords to cut off the arrows. But not everyone can deal with it calmly, and some of them do not react in time, and they are directly pierced through the body by arrows and slip down. This wave of arrow rain has achieved great results, destroying several Longteng brothers.

At this time, the two sides were in close arms, and the iron weapons collided, and for a time they were sonorous.

At this moment, the two sides were already in a scuffle, and the archers on the top of the mountain dropped their bows and arrows and quickly descended the mountain.

Originally, there were more than 20 bandits on the ground, and when the thieves on the top of the mountain who might be no less than thirty came down, Zhao Gang was afraid that it would be difficult to resist.

It was Zhao Gang who took the lead on Long Teng's side, he jumped up, and the long knife split the mountain and tore the air angrily.

His opponent was the tall woman. Although the woman is graceful, there is no difference between those weak women, but she is imposing and does not lose to men at all.

In the face of Zhao Gang's angry slash, she rushed forward, slashed with the long sword in her hand, and slammed into the splitting mountain.

A crisp voice rang out, and each side took a few steps back.

"I, Zhao Gang, have always been known for being majestic and domineering, but I didn't expect that the internal strength of the heroine's true qi was not inferior to me at all," Zhao Gang said in surprise.

"Don't talk nonsense!" a coquettish shout, and the woman stabbed straight at her.

Zhao Gang didn't hesitate and greeted him. The two sides fought together, each of them was a true and powerful lord, and each move contained a strong internal force, which caused explosions in the air and dust all over the sky. However, the strength of the two sides is comparable, if you don't make dozens or hundreds of moves, you will not be able to win or lose for a while.

The Longteng brothers experienced a wave of arrow rain at first, and when they fought, their breath was weakened, and with the death of three brothers, the numerical disadvantage led to a disadvantage from the beginning.

They will definitely not lose to the bandits one-on-one, but one-on-two or even one-on-three will inevitably be overstretched. Zhao Gang and the long-legged woman here had just passed seven or eight moves, and the Longteng brothers were beheaded two or three over there.

The blood inspired the bandits' fighting spirit, and they became more and more courageous, first rushing into the formation of the dragon, and then destroying the formation, which was unstoppable.

Zhao Gang, who fought with the long-legged woman, was inevitably distracted by the death of his brother. And the master makes a move, misses the slightest, mistakes for thousands of miles, and is the most taboo to be distracted. His distraction led to a sword move from a woman. The next moment, I felt a sharp pain in my waist, and I couldn't stop grinning. It was a woman, a sword that flew across his waist.

He didn't dare to be distracted anymore and was engrossed in the fight with the woman. He is the greatest pillar of the dragon in this battle, and if he also falls, then all the brothers will die here.

It's just that with a sword in his body, he inevitably lost the line of women in strength and momentum, and even if he was already cheered up, he couldn't avoid being pressed and beaten by women.

Victory was in sight, the woman smiled proudly, and the shot was even faster, and for a while, the sword shadow was chaotic, which made Zhao Gang stretched.

Zhao Gang's heart was anxious, on the one hand, Long Teng fell into a disadvantage, and he urgently needed someone to stand up, and on the other hand, he was also in a tight battle here, and he lacked skills. And if they don't get separated, the brothers will only die one after another, and in the end they will also lose.

Whether left or right, it doesn't work, and they are in a dilemma, as if the defeat of their dragon in this battle is already doomed.

What's more, those bandits on the top of the mountain haven't come down yet.

But he forgot about one person.

If there is a variable in this battle, the variable is the person he ignores.

In the corner of the field, it was a one-sided battle. It was a man in brown who was as unstoppable as devastating, with a sword in his hand and a man who was abolished.

No one can walk through two moves in his hands, either one move will be seriously injured by him, or one move will be blocked first, and the second move will be scrapped.

Although many people saw blood under his hands and fell to the ground, they did not hurt the foundation, and they could still live and recuperate normally in the future. Otherwise, he will be knocked unconscious directly.

With a flick of his fingers, he abolished ten bandits, his clothes were not stained, his feet were not stained, and he was extremely elegant. Then he joined the battle on the other side, where the Longteng brothers were crushed and beaten by bandits, and from time to time one of them was seriously injured and fell to the ground or even killed on the spot.

His arrival instantly disintegrated the declining situation and turned things around. His sword is ethereal and treacherous, coupled with his speed, the whole person is like a dark cloud floating here, and the bandits can't resist it at all.

With two flicks of his fingers, the remaining dozen bandits all fell to the ground.

The brothers of Longteng were about to cheer for the arrival of victory-

And at this time, the dozens of bandits on the top of the mountain also happened to arrive.

Long Teng was shocked.

Qi Qi's eyes narrowed slightly.

This battle is not over yet!

Dozens of black bandits rushed towards Qi Qi and the others, and their momentum shook the sky.

Qi Qi rode up with a desperate horse, under the disadvantage of numbers, if he didn't block most of the bandits, it would be impossible for the dozen or so Longteng brothers around him to compete with the bandits.

The leader of this wave of bandits was a man with a scar, and when he saw Qi Qi rushing alone, he sneered and said, "Hmph!

As he spoke, he also quickened his pace, pulling his speed to the extreme, and the robe on his body grinned in the wind.

Soon, Qi Qi and Scar Man were only less than two feet apart. The two leaped up almost at the same time, each swinging their swords at the other.

At this moment, the Longteng brothers behind Qi Qi and the bandits behind Scar Han.

Staring intently at this scene.

Sonor!

A loud sound exploded, and everyone saw a figure flying upside down like a broken kite, grazing the ground and sliding several feet away.

It's Scar Man!

The man in brown slashed back the scarred man with a sword, and rushed forward, unstoppable.

"Good!"

A dozen dragon brothers shouted as they charged.

The bandit hurriedly picked up his leader and greeted him.

The two sides were close to each other, Qi Qi was still in the lead, flying a sword, and with a flash of light, several bandits fell away.

After landing, there was another horizontal slash, cutting off the weapons of several bandits.

Rushing into the crowd, Long Yi arced like a flying flying in his hand, beautiful but with deadly danger, a sword out, at least three thieves suffered, like a bamboo, unstoppable.

His sword moves seem to be no longer moves, but dances!

A graceful and deadly dance.

It's just that although there is Qi Qi on Longteng's side, it will be difficult to completely make up for the absolute gap in numbers for a while. More than a dozen against dozens, except for Qi Qi, all the Longteng brothers were being beaten, and if they were not careful, they would be seriously injured. When Qi Qi slashed out two swords, the Longteng brothers also killed three.

At this time, the scar man also rushed in front of Qi Qi. His side is the strongest on his side, if he doesn't block Qi Qi, no matter how many people there are on his side, he will not be able to escape defeat.

"Who is Your Excellency? Nanxun Longteng has never heard of you, I don't think you are a person from Longteng, please leave quickly, we don't want to be your enemy!"

Qi Qi slashed the four thieves with a sword, jumped up, spun sideways in mid-air, and slashed down with a sword.

The scar man was shocked, and hurriedly put the long knife across his head, and immediately heard the sound of "sonorous", like thunder.

Scar Han was pressed to one knee by Qi Qi.

"I haven't killed any of you, why are you so ruthless and don't spare the lives of Brother Longteng?" Qi Qi's eyes were like swords.

"Your Excellency is too kind of a woman. Walking the rivers and lakes, how can you not see blood? You could have killed my brother. We are not as good as others, and we are willing to bow to the advantage! But before that, we will also kill all of you Longteng!"

Qi Qi was furious, raised his strength to the extreme, and pressed the scar man to his knees. Then he slashed open Scarman's chest with a sword and kicked him flying.
