Chapter 410: Ambush and Being Ambushed

Although this wooden house is not large, it is more than enough to squeeze eight people. When everyone had dried their clothes by the fire and settled down in their lodgings, I said, "Rest, I'll keep vigil." ”

Wu Wanling said: "Commander, let's do it with me......"

I smiled and said, "Don't fight. Hopefully tomorrow will be a good day, and we will be able to reach WΓΌrttemberg if we hurry up. ”

The others went to sleep. Wu Wanling sat down beside me and said, "Commander, are you physically able to eat?"

I bent my arm and said, "I can still bear this." Rest early, and tomorrow you will come to the vigil. ”

Wu Wanling added some firewood to the fire and said, "I can't sleep yet." ”

"What's wrong? Haven't you eaten enough?"

It's not bad to eat now. Along the way, because of the fire, there is really a world of difference compared to when you were in the Eagle City. I reached out and baked the fire to make it warmer, and I couldn't help but make a joke.

Wu Wanling didn't have the heart to joke with me, and said, "Commander, do you think we can be safe when we get to the Xifu Army garrison?"

I didn't understand what he meant for a while, and said, "What's the matter? Are you afraid that the Xifu army will also rebel?"

"Not that I'm worried about that," he said, looking out the window. It was still raining outside the window, and the rain hit the wooden windows, making a sound like a drum, and the rain trickled in through the cracks. In the middle of the room, the fire was full of charcoals, and there was no smoke, and the red charcoal fire made people feel a burst of warmth, and the air still smelled of what they had just eaten.

"The Xifu Army is self-contained, and it also thinks very highly of itself, and they have won and lost each other with Li Tuan, but they have not been able to win. As soon as the prince came, Li Tuan had already been defeated, and at that time I felt that the Xifu army was very dissatisfied. Now that we have been defeated, even if they believe that we are not deserters, will they take the opportunity to do us a disadvantage?"

I couldn't help but feel a pang in my body, and I couldn't speak. Indeed, Wu Wanling's worries are not superfluous, after he broke through Fudun City with Wuhou, I could see that the Xifu army was very unconvinced, they probably felt that they were fighting hard with Li Tuan, but it was Wuhou who came to take the name of winning with a drum. If we are defeated on all fronts, will the Xifu Army take the opportunity to vent its inner dissatisfaction? If we push ourselves and others, according to the style of Shen Xiping's right army, I am afraid that they will do so.

The Xifu army has been on the border for a long time, and their biggest military source is the military household, that is, the family of generations in the army, and the whole army always maintains a establishment of 50,000 people, when Li Tuan was in power, he could mobilize 200,000 troops at most in Tianshui Province, but the 200,000 troops and the 50,000 people of the Xifu army could not hold each other, and the combat effectiveness of the Xifu army could also be seen. However, I heard Lu Gongxing say that although the Xifu Army cannot be said to be arrogant, their combat effectiveness can only be exerted in areas with many mountains such as Tianshui Province, and once they reach the plains and water towns, they will have to be discounted. The horses of the Xifu Army are also special horses of Tianshui Province, which are not big and do not run fast, but they are very long, and they are suitable for traveling on mountain roads. If it was on flat ground, the mountain horses were much inferior to the Wanma commonly used by the Imperial Army, so Wu Hou did not order them when he ordered his troops. In fact, at that time, the Xifu army was fighting against Li Tuan's army, and it was simply unable to divide its troops to go out.

At that time, the Xifu Army probably already had a grudge against the Imperial Army.

I muttered, "yes, that's not unguarded. General Wu, what do you mean?"

He said, "I don't really know. Relying on his own strength, it is really difficult to return to the imperial capital, and it is best to get help from the Xifu army. Alas, I hope that is the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. ”

I looked at the few people sleeping on the side. There used to be a pile of hay in this house, which was probably also used to feed the horses, and when we spread it out, the four of them were lying on a corner, and Zhang Longyou and Xue Wen were also lying on a corner, sleeping soundly. Of course, it's uncomfortable to sleep here, but it's much better than the ups and downs along the way.

I was annoyed by Wu Wanling's words, and sighed: "Okay, it's better for me to deal with the Xifu Army alone, in case the Xifu Army is not good for me, you can escape on your own." ”

Wu Wanling said: "Commander, how can this be done......

"Needless to say," I waved my hand and shouted, "General Wu, Mr. Zhang, Xue Gongzheng and those four women have to rely on you to escort them to the imperial capital, if the Xifu army refuses to help us, we can't send both of them there." That's it, you go and rest. However, I think that the commander of the Xifu Army will not be so stingy. ”

Wu Wanling couldn't speak for a while, he saluted me and lay down next to Zhang Longyou silently.

I added some more wood to the fire, and took advantage of this time to take off the soft armor on my body. When the previous women were drying their clothes, I ordered Zhang Longyou and Wu Wanling to turn their backs to them, and Xue Wen couldn't move, and he couldn't see it from his angle, so I wasn't afraid that he would peek - although, I also wanted to see what she looked like when she changed her clothes.

I took off my soft armor, and my underwear was already stuck to my flesh. For so many days, I haven't taken off my soft armor, and when I untie it, I have a relaxed pleasure in my body. I pulled the door open and walked out.

The rain was beating down on me, and every drop of rain was as heavy as a stone. All the sweat, blood, and dried mud marks were washed away. I took off my underwear, washed it in the rain, and put it back on. After all, there were four women in the house, and I was told to bake the fire naked, so that if they saw it, they would scream.

After putting on my underwear, I washed my soft nails again. I don't wear this soft armor anymore, and I want to keep it away from the fire to dry. Soft armor can't be baked, I don't know if I can do it tomorrow.

After washing these, I pulled out another hundred knives. The Baipi knife was like a piece of ice in the rain, and it seemed that even the raindrops were forced away. I looked at the shiny blade, and for some reason, in the darkness outside, the eight-character inscription on the hilt was clearer.

Only the knife is clear, and the idealism is not easy.

No matter how you use the steel knife to cut gold and jade, people's hearts must still be the same as before, and they cannot be served by knives. That's what the inscription on the knife means.

I washed my knife, and my heart grew heavier and heavier. Wu Hou once said that I have the kindness of a woman, and Lu Gongxing also said that I am not decisive enough, and those are not wrong. Perhaps, in essence, I am not suitable for the military.

But now that he's a soldier, so what?

I washed the knife, shook the water droplets from the knife, and pushed the door in. When I sat down by the fire, I felt a little cold on my body. Although the illness was cured, I still felt chills when I sat down. I surrounded the fire and let the heat dry the moisture. The firelight reflected my body red, and outside, the rain was still falling endlessly, and the snoring of Wu Wanling and Zhang Longyou came and went, mixed with the sound of the rain, and became a strange tune. Before I knew it, I was holding the knife and my eyelids were involuntarily closed.

I don't know how long it took, I was half asleep and half awake, when I suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps. The sound was very soft, but it sounded like it was ringing in my ears, and I opened my eyes suddenly.

The rain had stopped at some point, and outside the half-hidden door, a ray of moonlight was shining in, like a long sword on the ground. There was very little fire in the pit, and there was a pile of white ash on it. I stood up silently, the Hundred Knife in my hand.

The clothes were dry, but the soft armor was still damp. I stood in front of the door, and the moonlight leaking through the crack in the door was like a long sword, right across me.

The sound of footsteps was slowly approaching. After the rain, the surroundings were even more silent, and the footsteps became even louder. However, the voice is also quite strange, and the steps are very crisp and clear.

At this time, the ground was full of standing water, and if I walked outside, I would definitely have to drag the mud and water, and there would be bursts of water. However, the sound of this footstep seemed to be stepped on on the dry and hard ground, and one step after another, there was no stagnation, even if the person was walking specially and dryly, it always had to stop and pause, and it did not walk so smoothly.

Who the hell is that?

I cautiously pushed the door open, and the man flashed out.

In the moonlight, in the distance, a man was approaching. Because he was carrying the moonlight on his back, he could not see his face clearly, but he knew that the man had a large hat on his head and a long robe on his body. Dressed as a man of the law, I stepped up and whispered, "Who is it?"

The man must not have expected that there would be anyone, and when he heard my voice, he stopped at once. After a while, he said, "Who are you?"

The man's voice was so strange that I couldn't tell his age. His hat covered his face like an umbrella, and I couldn't see him. I said, "I'm a passerby, may I ask, are you from the Xifu Army?"

As soon as we entered the house, we guessed who the owner was. Wu Wanling said that it might be the house where the patrolmen of the Xifu Army were temporarily living outside, because he saw the marks of a knife on the firewood pile collected in the house, and the knife was the big hook knife commonly used by the Xifu Army. Although this person is not wearing a military uniform, he may also be a person from the French Union in the Xifu Army, but it may also be the remnants left by Li Tuan in Tianshui Province. At this time, those who walk alone in this kind of mountains and wilderness will never be ordinary people. Because I don't dare to assert, I don't dare to say that I am an Imperial Army.

He muttered for a moment and said, "Is it a passerby?"

His tone was full of disbelief. I was a little uneasy, I really couldn't figure out the details of him, and I stubbornly said, "Yes." ”

"From the south?"

I said, "yes." Because of the war. ”

If I say from north to south, I'm afraid it's self-defeating. Since the Imperial Army's southern expedition, the people have only fled to the east and north, and only the people south of the Eagle City will flee to the south by floating into the sea.

He stood up straight, as if he was thinking about something. Now I'm five or six feet away from him, but somehow I feel like he's so far away from me.

In the sky, the moonlight is as miserable as water, and when you look at the moon, the pools of stagnant water are shining, as if there are countless moons on the ground.

He suddenly smiled and said, "It's not a civilian, it's the remnants of the Imperial Army, right?"

Has the news of the collapse of Wuhou's Southern Expeditionary Army reached here? I was slightly startled and said, "You know?"

"I didn't expect that there were such characters in the Imperial Army who could escape from the city. ”

What did he mean by that? I couldn't help but grasp the hilt of my sword, but I didn't speak. He couldn't make out his position in what he said, but he didn't seem to have a good impression of the Imperial Army. Could it really be that Wu Wanling said that the Xifu Army had a gloating attitude towards the defeat of Wuhou Nan's expeditionary army?

I said, "I don't know who you are." ”

He put his hands behind his back and laughed, "You humans are really unfortunate, it was really a mistake for the Emperor of Heaven to choose you as the master in the past. ”

What did he mean by that? My head was confused by him, but I immediately cried out, "What do you mean by 'you humans'? Aren't you human?"

"Of course not. ”

"And what are you?"

He stood upright, suddenly raised his head and said, "I am God." ”

In the moonlight, his hat almost covered half of his body, and he didn't necessarily look like a god, but was a little obscene. I hugged my knife and laughed, "If the Emperor of Heaven chooses a god like you as the master, the Emperor of Heaven will make an even greater mistake." ”

As soon as I said this, all of a sudden, the air around me seemed to freeze and seemed to condense. I was taken aback, but my eyes began to glow.

That kind of eyes with a dangerous murderous aura is simply not like what a person should be.

I was taken aback, my hand gripping the knife tightly, and staring at him intently, afraid that he would make a move. The man stood upright and said slowly, "If you cut off your tongue at once, you will be spared." ”

I snorted and said, "That's it, if you don't cut your tongue, I have no intention of taking your life." ”

As soon as I said this, I only heard him scold, and I saw the stars in front of me, and I didn't know what was happening. I was taken aback, and reached out to swing the knife, but as soon as the knife was raised, I felt a pain in my shoulder.

A long, thin sword appeared in the man's hand, and the tip of the sword was piercing my left shoulder!

I was frightened by the speed of this man's sword. But I didn't want to be slaughtered, knowing that I wouldn't be his opponent, but I still had to fight. I gritted my teeth and waved the knife in front of me, and the man took a sharp step back. The tip of his sword was still on my shoulder, and I stepped back, his blade coming out of my body, and I could hear the sound of the sword scraping against my shoulder bone, followed by a piercing pain.

I gasped for air, and out of the corner of my eye, I couldn't say a word as I saw the blood coming from the wound on my left shoulder. Originally, I thought that even if I was defeated, I would not be so unhelpful, but when I did fight, I found that I was indeed vulnerable.

What kind of person is this? His swordsmanship is completely different from what I have ever seen, and even Mr. Zhong Zhanyu, who taught us swordsmanship in the military academy, is much inferior to him. However, his swordsmanship is too fancy, although it is elusive, but the power is not too great, I can get out of his sword stab at once, but he is not too deep. This kind of swordsmanship is probably only suitable for foot fighting, and if he compares to my spear on a horse, he is probably useless.

It's just that now it's under the step.

The wound on his left shoulder was still bleeding, but it was already somewhat dry, and only a thin strip of blood was left from the wound. The chest of my freshly washed and dried underwear was stained with a large pool of blood, which was considered a white wash. I looked at him, and I felt my heart beating violently,

"It's okay, you actually dodged my sword. ”

He grinned. I put the knife on my chest, sealed the door, and said, "I will never cut my own tongue, are you still going to kill me?"

He looked up and seemed to look at me. Under the big hat, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I also felt a murderous aura coming from under the hat, and I just heard him say, "Maybe!"

These two words came out, and the sword light was like a white rainbow passing through the sky, and it had arrived in front of me. I was on full alert, but his sword kept me scrambling, and I only had time to raise it under my jaw, but his sword had pierced me through the dancing slit of the sword, almost touching my eyelashes.

If it had been the sword that had been stabbed just now, I would have been caught off guard, but this time I was engrossed in his sword, but I still didn't have the slightest strength to fight back. If he goes one more inch with this sword, he will blind me in one eye. He was able to stop at this critical moment, which means that he still didn't give it his all.

With such a fast swordsmanship, even if the strength is not too great, I still don't have the strength to fight back. The Baipi Sword only had time to be raised to his chest, but his eyes were sore and painful by the sword wind of his sword, and tears flowed out. I stood stunned, not knowing what to do.

"Imperial Army, that's it. ”

He chuckled under his breath, and the sarcasm in his laughter grew heavier. I was angry and ashamed, and shouted, "What the hell are you going to do?"

"Your tongue. ”

In the big hat, his voice seemed to come from a well. I shouted, "you!" and with a kick of my left foot on the ground, the man leaped four or five feet backwards.

At this moment, I had thought of many ideas to fight back, but none of them seemed to work. But at this time, of course, I will never give in, and if I really cut my tongue, it is a chance to die, and I have to try.

He certainly didn't expect this jump. As soon as I jumped out, his sword had already pierced me, and before my feet could hit the ground, I felt another pain in my left arm, and I knew that there must have been another sword in my arm. He probably wanted to kill me, but he didn't expect me to leap backwards, and the sword stabbed wide.

Although I ate a sword, my confidence grew a little. Although he was strong in swordsmanship, he had never reached the point where he could play with me in the palm of his hand, and this time he didn't hit me in the right place. However, if I rashly fight back, I am afraid that it will be tantamount to death.

I was standing in the middle of the road, about a dozen feet away on the left was the big river, and on the right was a forest.

Is it really just a way to escape?

Seventeen or eighteen thoughts went through my mind, but I knew none of them were useful. At this time, the best way is to escape. If I can escape into the woods, it will not be easy for him to catch me, and it will not be so easy for him to draw a sword in the woods.

He took a step, his sword flashing, and it looked like he was about to strike again. Before I could make a move, the man flashed to the side and fled to the right. As soon as my body turned to the right side, the sword light suddenly flourished, as if a silver wall had been built on my right.

He's really trying to take my life. I took a breath of cool air, and I was already a little to the right, and my right foot kicked up, and when I kicked on the ground, my body rushed out to the left.

Whether left or right, it is a great blessing to be able to dodge his elusive sword.

As soon as I rushed to the left, the sword light suddenly came to the left.

It seems that he is also trying to force me down the river. But where else can I think of now? As soon as I gritted my teeth, I had no choice but to rush to the left.

On the left is a dirt slope, and a rainstorm just now washed away all the floating soil on the surface, and as soon as I stepped on the dirt slope, I felt my feet slip. At this time, where is still standing, the person has turned down. I slid down the dirt slope and got wet mud.

As soon as my foot stepped on the ground, I threw the Baipi knife to the ground and struggled to stand firm. By the light of the moon, I saw him also rushing down the dirt slope.

Of course, he doesn't look as embarrassed as I am, and when he rushes down, he is gentle and dexterous, and his steps are steady. However, his movement down was not fast, and he seemed to be a little cautious, and it seemed that the ground was so slippery that even he had to be careful. How could I stand him so easy to come down, shouted, kicked his feet, and the person jumped up, and the hundred knives slashed towards him.

He wants to take my life, and of course I don't have to be polite to him.

He was coming down, and I slashed it right at his shoulder. I had used all my strength to get this knife out, and I couldn't help but regret it. If he is slashed, I am afraid that his body will also be cut open by me. But now with a knife, where can I get it back?

β€»β€»β€»

This knife was only afraid that he was also startled, he never expected that I would dare to fight back like this at this time, at this time, the Baipi knife was approaching his face, and he couldn't dodge. I was a little sorry for it, but I saw his body suddenly shrink into a ball and flip backwards. His figure was not very tall, so shrunk, it was like a ball, a hundred knives came to the door in front of him, "click", and he hit his hat, and he threw the hat down, his body turned over three or four hollow heels one after another, jumped out of a foot away, and jumped on the dirt slope.

This time, he was no longer as calm as he had come, and every step was on the dry earth. As soon as he landed on his feet, he happened to step on a puddle, and the water splashed everywhere, and the muddy water even splashed on me, and he was probably covered in muddy water, very embarrassed.

I wiped a handful of muddy water from my face, and held the Baipi knife tightly in my right hand. I had the upper hand with this knife, and I no longer had the feeling of fear just now. Although his swordsmanship is unpredictable, I may not be without a chance of victory. I shouted, "Come on!"

I didn't want to kill anyone, or even fight him, but this man was so deceitful that I couldn't help but be angry. If I had slowed down just now, I was afraid that he had already pierced my heart with a sword. I grasped the knife and was determined to fight him.

I just shouted a sentence, and as soon as I looked up, I saw his appearance out of the corner of my eye, and I couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly laughed out loud.

He used to be dressed in a long shirt, fluttering like a fairy, but now he was soaked, his clothes were sticking to his body, and he was very embarrassed, but these were not strange, and it was funny what he looked like. He has a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, a short beard, two front teeth are hanging out, and there is still a fierce look in his eyes. It's just that with this obscene look, his ferocity adds a bit of ridiculousness.

No wonder he used a hat to cover it. He can't be considered ugly, but no matter how funny he looks, he doesn't look like a samurai at all. I knew I shouldn't laugh like that, but it was funny to look at him.

He was looking at me fiercely, and was about to pounce on me, but when he saw me laughing so loudly, he was suddenly startled, and he hurriedly covered his face with his left hand, but immediately put it down again. Presumably, he also knew that I had seen him in the form of him, and I couldn't hide it.

I was laughing until my stomach hurt, when I suddenly saw his figure flash, and there was a flower in front of me, and I felt a little chill on my face. I was taken aback, and I couldn't laugh anymore at this point. Despite his ridiculous appearance, his swordsmanship is really not a game, and my full attention may not be able to stop one of his swords, needless to say, I can't stand up with a smile now.

I didn't even look at it, the hundred sword was already dancing in front of me, and the person took a step back. He is condescending, even if his strength is not as good as mine, but he has a height advantage, and I can't underestimate the power of his sword.

As soon as he took a step back, he heard that the knife body sounded as if it had been hit by a torrential rain, and it sounded more than a dozen times in a row. The Baipi knife was blocking my face, and there was this sound, which was the sound of the tip of his sword hitting the Baipi knife. I also knew that his swordsmanship was superb, but I didn't expect it to be so superb. I thought I was inferior to him, but now I'm faintly afraid.

This series of attacks was extremely fast, and I couldn't see his sword momentum clearly at all, so I could only rely on instinct to dance the Baipi Sword in front of me. Probably he hated me so much that he had to stab me in the tongue with a sword, so he stabbed me in the head. If he stabbed me in the chest, I don't know if I could dodge him a few times.

I retreated as I blocked, secretly crying bitterly in my heart. I thought his appearance was ridiculous just now, but now I can still laugh. But with every step back, his sword did not diminish at all, and followed him as if it were glued to me. After five or six steps, I felt that my feet were softer, and suddenly my feet broke, and my toes stumbled on a piece of wood, and the man fell down at once.

I've retreated to the river. With the help of the rains, the river has risen so much that it has doubled. This river beach was originally rotten and soft, but now it has been soaked by the rain, and it is even more untenable. As I fell, his sword finally broke through the defenses of the Hundred Pier Sword, and a sword pierced through the light of the sword, and was stabbing through my ear.

If I hadn't fallen, the sword would have pierced my skull.

I was terrified and frightened, knowing that he was going to take my life. Although I had flashed this sword by luck, now I was falling to the ground, and if he fired another sword, where would I still be able to dodge? But there was mud on the ground, and it was difficult for me to get up. I stretched out my hand and pressed it, only to see that there was a rough piece of rotten wood in the mud.

Heaven is endless, I was about to press the wood to turn over and jump, he had already withdrawn the sword, suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if sneering, a sword stabbed at me again. At this time, I had just supported half of my body, and I didn't have time.

Am I finished?

There are many giant trees by the river. These are the pillars of the shipyard shed hundreds of years ago, and after hundreds of years of wind and rain, they have become rock solid. The rough rotten piece of wood that tripped me up was probably a fallen pillar. When the emperor set off from the shipbuilding in Wendang County, there were battles here, and many of the founding soldiers died here. If I die here, I deserve it.

I was thinking wildly, when suddenly, I felt a strong force from under my left hand, and the rotten log suddenly rose from the mud. It was as if a giant was suddenly about to break out of the mud. I don't know what happened, but I felt that my body was light, and the person was thrown up.

Is it an earthquake?

I have heard people say that every seven generations of emperors, the land of the five provinces of the empire is shaken. 30,000 people died in that earthquake, and the Lingxu Palace, the ancestral court of the Qingxu Tuna faction, was completely destroyed at that time. However, I remember when I first heard about the earthquake, "the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the sun and moon did not shine", but this time there was no such vision, and the moon was still white and the wind was clear.

The toss was quite powerful, but fortunately I was ready to jump, so I didn't lose my balance. But I didn't expect such a strong force that I was thrown seven or eight feet off the ground and was flying into the river.

I'm not very watery, and although I won't drown if I fall into the water, my physical strength will definitely be reduced when I climb ashore. I could see clearly that I was flying towards a pillar standing in the water, and when I reached the edge of the pillar, I stretched out my left hand and grabbed at the top of the pillar. As soon as the palm of his hand touched the cold and rough wood, he pressed against the pillar and crossed his legs.

At the beginning, in order to seize Shen Xiping's head, I sneaked into the snake man camp, facing so many snake people, relying on the terrain of the flagpole, I still had the upper hand. Now that the pillar is in the water, I'm in a good position. I was sure in my mind, and my right hand was withdrawn, and the Baipi knife that I had been holding in my hand was finally inserted into the scabbard.

On the top of this pillar, how to escape, I don't think much about it now. At least, I don't have to worry about my life for now.

As soon as I settled down, I just heard the man: "Good ability!"

There was also a bit of consternation in his voice. I couldn't help but be a little amused, he probably thought I could jump that high.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a strange roar in the mud on the riverbank, and a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the mud.

Snake people!

Even though I knew that the snake army was still far away, I was still covered in a cold sweat.

It was a long shadow, but I knew right away it wasn't a snake man. It was much shorter than the snake man, who was generally three or four feet long, and this shadow was only more than six feet, half shorter than the snake man. And the snake man has no feet, and this shadow has two legs in addition to a tail.

That's the Dragon.

No one has ever seen a real dragon, but the dragon has heard that there are often on the riverside and seaside, but he has never seen one grow up like this. Even though I was more than two feet away from the dragon, I still had a palpitation.

It wasn't rotten wood that tripped me just now, it was this dragon. The dragon was probably sleeping soundly in the mud, and I stepped on and pressed it, and woke up.

The man must have been taken aback. The appearance of the dragon is already terrifying, and the fact that it comes out of the muddy water is even more bizarre and inexplicable. He even stood a little dumbfounded, not moving, and suddenly, with a "whew", he screamed, and the man jumped up.

He didn't jump as tall as I did, only four or five feet. But it was in the mud, and he jumped up completely on his own. As soon as he jumped, the dragon's tail swept across the ground where he had just stood, and was smashing into the mud, making a large splash.

If the dragon's tail hit him just now, I'm afraid he will have his brain burst. His skills are truly excellent, and I can't help but sigh.

I was able to hold on to his sword for a long time, half because I was lucky, and the other half was because he didn't give it his all.

He leapt in the air, the sword in his hand flashing, only to see the dragon let out a roar, and blood broke out from his head. With a sword, this man cut the dragon's skin.

The skin of the dragon is extremely hard, and I have seen the dragon shield displayed in the army, which is not inferior to iron and stone. This man's ability to cut the dragon's skin with a single sword is truly remarkable. Even on the top of a pillar two or three feet away from him, I couldn't help but shudder.

In this way, even if I can escape from his sword, I don't know how to escape this dragon.

The dragon was injured and rolled violently in the muddy water. The river near the shore was almost boiling, and muddy water splashed everywhere. The man had borrowed the power of the sword in a muddy water, and the man leaped to the shore.

Who knew that when he was still in mid-air, a long shadow suddenly jumped out of the muddy water.

Another dragon!

The dragon was not as big as Fangcai, but it was more agile, and it leapt up from the muddy water and bit him in one bite. I could only hear him let out a scream, and the sword flew straight up, and his body had been dragged into the muddy water by the dragon, and the scream was only half screamed.

With a "dang", the sword landed on the hard ground of the riverbank. The river beach, which had been calm just a moment ago, was covered with blood, and the two dragons rolled in the muddy water, stirring the river into a muddy one. This person is only afraid that there will not be a piece of meat left in the competition between the two dragons.

It's strange to say that when fighting with that man at the end of his life, his life and death are not at all my thoughts. But now seeing him die like this, I can't help but feel sad.

This person's skills are so high, if he joins the Imperial Army, his official position will definitely be above me. Such a person, but he didn't even have a name, not even a trace, and disappeared from the world.

I was coiled under the pillar, and I didn't dare to come out. The two dragons finally stopped after a battle in the muddy water, and the river finally subsided.

The moonlight sprinkled quietly, and the river flowed in soup, and a round of moon shadows were reflected in the water, which seemed to be in front of you from afar, and seemed to be endless.

I clung to the pillar for fear that I would slip off in my sleep. Fortunately, the pillar was very rough, so it didn't happen. Finally, I closed my eyes and fell asleep holding on to the pillar.

I don't know how long it took, but I vaguely heard someone calling me. When I opened my eyes, I felt that the sun pierced my eyes like a thousand knives, and I couldn't open them. When I woke up, I forgot where I was, and then I heard Wu Wanling say loudly: "Commander, General Chu, where are you?"

I craned my neck and shouted, "I'm here!"

Listen to the sounds, they are not far away. There was a fight last night, but it wasn't far from the hut. I just shouted, but I heard someone rushing over, and immediately, the figures of Wu Wanling and Zhang Longyou appeared on that slope.

When Wu Wanling saw me, he said loudly: "Thank God, General Chu, why did you run there?"

He said he was going to come, and I shouted, "Stop! Don't come! There's a dragon in the river!"

As if to prove my words, a dragon was leaping up from the river and dragging a waterfowl into the water. Wu Wanling was taken aback and said, "What's the matter?" Commander, how did you get up?"

I didn't know how to answer, Zhang Longyou said: "General Wu, don't talk about this, quickly save General Chu." ”

Wu Wanling looked at me and said, "General Chu, I'll go get the rope." ”

The rope was also rolled with bark along the way, and it was okay to bundle things, but it was not okay for me to slide over with the rope. I was about to say that Wu Wanling is gone. After a while, he came with the rope and a bow.

Wu Wanling tied the rope to an arrow and said, "General Chu, be careful." ”

This arrow is also made, and the arrow just sharpens the bamboo branches. Wu Wanling's arrow had already broken the arrow, and it was aimed at me. He didn't shoot fast, and his archery skills were not high, but fortunately the distance was so close that I couldn't catch an arrow, so I pulled it back and shot again. Shooting at the third arrow, I finally grabbed it.

I pulled the rope, pulled it, and said, "No, this rope is not strong enough, and it won't be long enough if you use two strands." ”

Wu Wanling said with a smile: "General Chu, this rope is not good, the old vine will always do it." You wait for me, I'll cut down an old vine. ”

There are many old vines in the woods, and we have cut a few pieces of rope for rope, which are as thick as arms and quite tough. If it's a hundred-year-old air-dried vine, it's no different from a stick. I patted my head and said, "yes, I didn't think of that." ”

Zhang Longyou grabbed the other end of the rope and said, "General Chu, don't worry." ”

Wu Wanling chopped a large roll of old vines and came back. The vine was very heavy, and the three or four zhang long vine weighed him so long that he could hardly stand on his feet. He tied the old vine to the end of the rope, and I pulled it over little by little, tied the old vine to the pillar several times, tried it, and said, "You hold it." ”

Wu Wanling said: "Don't worry. ”

I hooked the old vine with both hands and feet and slid down from one end. It's scary to slip over, and if I jump out of the muddy water again, I'm going to die.

Thankfully, I landed safely. As soon as I stepped on the ground, I only felt that my feet were weak and I almost fell. It was probably on the pillar that I was desperately hooking onto the pillar and running out of strength. Wu Wanling hugged me and said, "General, why did you run there?" We were all shocked when we woke up and didn't see you. ”

I shook my head and said, "It's hard to put into words." ”

I just told them about last night, and they all stammered a little when they heard it. As the two dragons dragged the man into the muddy water, I looked at the riverbank. In the morning, it was calm and quiet, and nothing could be seen.

Zhang Longyou said: "General Chu, is this really what you encounter......ed?"

I was a little angry and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you think I'll lie to you?"

However, looking at the calm river beach, even I was a little skeptical that I was dreaming. But anyway, I was on top of that pillar in the morning, it's always true.

Wu Wanling suddenly said: "What General Chu said is all the truth. ”

He bent down, felt in a puddle, and pulled out a sword.

Zhang Longyou exclaimed, "Really!"

He reached out and took the sword and looked at it. I said, "That man's swordsmanship is very strange, and I am no match for him at all. ”

Wu Wanling said: "Commander, don't look down on yourself too much. With your ability to dominate you, you will never be able to fight him, at least now that you are so good, and he is dead. ”

As soon as I heard him say, "Good and good," I remembered that I had been struck in the left shoulder and left arm. I looked over my shoulder, but luckily the bleeding had stopped. I smiled wryly, "I've been stabbed twice in the left shoulder." Those people, how do they always stab me in the left shoulder? ”

Zhang Longyou suddenly said, "General Chu, does that person really claim to be a 'god'?"

I said, "yes." What's wrong?"

Zhang Longyou's face suddenly changed, and he muttered, "Could it be ...... Is it ......?"

I said, "What the hell is going on? ”

Zhang Longyou looked at the sword again and said, "General Chu, that person is only afraid that he is a disciple of the side branch of the Shangqing Danding faction......"

My heart sank. I didn't kill that man, but he died indirectly at my hands. If he and Zhang Longyou belong to the same family, it will be a little difficult for me to face Zhang Longyou. Zhang Longyou also guessed my thoughts, and said, "General Chu, don't take it to heart, that's actually not my fellow disciple." ”

I said, "Yes, what's that?"

"More than a hundred years ago, the Shangqing Danding faction was a double cultivation of swords and pills, and originally practiced swords just to strengthen the body, but at that time there was a team that blindly practiced swords and was unwilling to work Danding. At that time, the Danding faction of the Shangqing Dynasty was powerful in the middle of the court, and it was supposed to be trusted by the emperor with Danding, but if he blindly practiced the sword, it would be contrary to the main purpose of our faction. Therefore, at that time, the master of the Shangqing Danding faction, the Taishi Zu Taiyou Zhenren of the true Guizi teacher, expelled this faction from the Shangqing Danding faction. ”

"And then?"

"Later, who knows," Zhang Longyou looked at the sword path again, "Anyway, this branch was originally small in number, and after being expelled from the Shangqing Danding faction, it disappeared even more." It's just that the swords they use are also used in the Shangqing Danding faction, you see. ”

He put the sword in front of my eyes and pointed to a pattern on the hilt. It was a circle, and a curved line split the circle into two halves, one white and one black, with a black dot in the middle of the white and a white dot in the black half. I said, "Isn't this the sign of your Shangqing Danding faction?"

Zhang Longyou nodded and said, "The Qingxu Tuina faction and the Shangqing Danding faction are from the same source, and they both use this Taiji diagram. However, the two factions use the opposite, our black is on the left and the white is on the right, while the white is on the left and the black is on the right. This kind of sword is only used by the people of the legal system, because it is not suitable for immediate stabbing, and it is not used in the army at all. ”

I said, "Yes, the swords in the army are two-handed swords, which are much larger and heavier than this kind of sword. ”

Zhang Longyou gave me the sword and said, "General Chu, you have to be careful. This kind of swordsmanship is not very useful on the horse, but under the step, the family teacher once said that if he is proficient in this kind of swordsmanship, he will not be inferior to the unstoppable generals in the army. ”

Truly. I remembered the man's swordsmanship like lightning and thunder. I don't have the slightest strength to fight back under that kind of swordsmanship, and if it weren't for the dragon that suddenly appeared, I wouldn't have escaped from that man's sword. I took the sword and looked at it, and said, "Mr. Zhang, you should still carry this sword." ”

Zhang Longyou said: "However, without a scabbard, I can't bring it." ”

Wu Wanling said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, there is Xue Gongzheng, what are you afraid of? Although he doesn't have much strength, making a scabbard is extremely easy." ”

When I returned to the hut, when I came in, Xue Wenyi and several women smiled.

These days, we're getting closer. I saw a flash of relief on her face, and my heart warmed, almost wanting to cry.
