Chapter 717: The Wind and the Moon Are Like Knives
Hongda and Liu Shu led people to touch the city tower from both sides, the night was thick, all they brought were the shadow thorns of skill, climbing and leaping between the soon to the soldiers guarding the city, the west gate is the least guarded, because outside the city gate is a moat canal, about three zhang wide, weekdays are all through the drawbridge, at night when the city gate guards will pull up the drawbridge, leaving a team of ten people to wait here, the rest of the men and horses dispersed. Compared with the other three city gates, which are guarded by dozens of people, this city gate is now the only feasible road for Hongda and others.
There was no war in the small city, and the soldiers guarding the city gate were relatively lazy, Hongda and the others went up to the city tower to get closer, and those soldiers still did not notice the movement, Hongda signaled everyone to hide their breath and lurk in the dark, and then carefully searched for the device to collect and release the drawbridge. Although the moat is not wide, but the future is long, horses are indispensable, it is not enough to pass in the past, you must pass along the lì to get rid of the pursuers, so you must be cautious and step by step.
"Ahh The man shrugged his shoulders and sneered coldly, and said: "A bandit is a bandit, if the official asks you to give birth, you will live, and if you die, you will definitely not be able to escape." ”
"Who said it wasn't, it wasn't dozens of hundreds of people, there had to be thousands of people in Guiyunzhuang, and there were so many shops scattered all over the place, and it was gone, I heard that the Zhuangzi burned all night, and the owner of Guiyunzhuang Leng Qiuzhi didn't even leave a corpse, when it was really a hairless phoenix not as good as a chicken, it was so decent when it was alive, and it was better for us to die, hum. The other sneered, visibly gloating.
"Shut up the damn Lao Tzu, if it weren't for the bird thing, Lao Tzu wouldn't have to guard the city gate here tonight. One of the people sitting at the table threw the peanuts in his hand at the two of them, and said viciously: "Go to Lao Tzu to patrol and chew the root of your tongue like a girl, and get out of here." ”
"Zhan Ye Zhan, don't be angry, we know that you made an appointment with Miss Qiu Tang today, it's better to do this, you just go, our brothers are guarding here, nothing will happen." A few more people gathered around while talking, obviously that Zhan Ye was their head, tonight I made an appointment with which girl to spend the night with, but I was temporarily assigned a task and couldn't get out, this time I was spilling my anger on the heads of these soldiers.
"When Lao Tzu has a few heads, I didn't see that the notice was flying all over the sky, and the court wanted to hunt down the remnants of Guiyunzhuang, this is the emperor's order, and I don't want to live, ah? Dare to instigate Lao Tzu to neglect his duties, and Lao Tzu will kill you little cubs. After Zhan Ye finished speaking, he threw a handful of peanuts over, and the few people standing on the side all hugged their heads to dodge when they saw this, Hongda saw that they were caught in sight, and hurriedly signaled Liu Shu, and then bowed and jumped onto the roof.
Unlike ordinary castle towers, this drawbridge device is not downstairs, they have already explored it, so they will venture up to the castle tower, and at this moment those soldiers are in a mess, which is convenient for them to find. Shadowthorn often acts at night, so his eyesight is extraordinary, and after Hongda condescendingly took a closer look, he spotted the rocker in the southeast corner.
Over there!
Hongda was overjoyed, then breathed a long sigh of relief, put his index finger in his mouth, and made a loud whistle.
"Someone!" Although the soldiers were scattered, they were not confused, and when they heard the sudden whistle in the air, they subconsciously raised their long swords and raised their heads.
Liu Shu had already acted the moment Hongda gave the order, and he was followed by more than a dozen shadow thorns, and at that same moment, he pounced forward, and several lives had already been ended in the moment when he raised the knife in his hand.
"Assassins—there are assassins—" The mournful cry was loud in the night, and Leng Scarlet and Liangchen Howard stood in the alley, and when she heard the voice, she was startled, and she looked back at the empty street, and then looked up at the chaotic castle towers, and said in a deep voice: "Keep up!"
The heel kicked the horse's belly hard, Leng Scarlet Rou shouted and rushed out first, Liangchen and Huo Hua were busy chasing after each other, and followed her straight to the city gate.
"Liu Shu, go and put down the suspension bridge-" Hongda split a person, pointed at the southeast corner, Liu Shu nodded knowingly, and led a person straight to the place he pointed.
"Leader!" a person beside him suddenly spoke, anxiously raised the long sword in his hand, and said, "Look over there." ”
Hongda kicked down a man, plunged his sword into his chest, looked up at the man's point, and was shocked.
The winding fire dragon was quickly approaching this end, thinking that it was the little second brother who went to report the news, and the officers and soldiers began to search the city.
"Liu Shu-" The voice was hoarse, Hongda roared and knocked down another person with a sword, and then stepped forward a few steps forward and shouted at Liu Shu: "Hurry up and put down the suspension bridge and let the eldest lady out!"
Liu Shu heard him cry eagerly, knew that things had changed, and did not procrastinate, and pulled up the rocker with the person next to him, and tried his best to lower the suspension bridge.
"The door is open!" Liangchen couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the drawbridge put down, but Leng Feirou didn't look at the drawbridge, but frowned and looked at the city wall.
"Eldest lady out of the city!" Hongda poked his head out of the city wall and raised his arm fiercely at Leng Scarlet, but Leng Scarlet still raised his head and looked at him, unmoved.
"Miss?!" Liangchen didn't know why, and when he hit the horse next to Leng Scarlet Rou, he shouted anxiously, and Leng Scarlet Rou raised his voice and said to Hongda: "Why don't you come down yet." "Since the city gate is opened and the drawbridge is lowered, it must be Hongda and the others who have already taken control of the situation, but why haven't they come down to the city tower to join them?
Hongda saw that she didn't leave, knowing that she must have discovered the clue, so he turned around to see Liu Shu and the others and said loudly: "All go down and escort the eldest lady out of the city." ”
The fire dragon spread rapidly, and it was obvious that there were a large number of people coming, and the noise was clearly audible, and after seeing Hongda and the others go downstairs and get on the horse, Leng Feirou raised the reins fiercely, shouted and ran forward, and said, "Go!"
Although Hongda was anxious about Leng Scarlet's safety and annoyed by her stubbornness, he was also moved by her fearlessness and refusal to give up her and others to flee for their lives alone.
"General, they ran west. ”
Chen Kai glanced at the suspension bridge that was put down, and said with a cold smile: "Catch up, don't let them run out of this city boundary." ”
"Yes!" The men and horses of the brigade quickly walked in the direction that the group was running away, Chen Kai squinted his eyes and glanced at the blood-dripping city wall, a chill passed through his face, and after a pause, he shook the reins and galloped forward.
At the end of the strong crossbow, he dared to be so arrogant, he really couldn't live patiently!
"Everyone go forward with all their might, and there is a fork in the road at the end of the road, and when we get there, we will go in two ways. Seeing that the pursuers behind him had not arrived, Hongda rode his horse to Leng Xuanrou's side and raised his voice to her: "The eldest lady will run to the left road in a while, and I will let Liu Shu lead someone to follow you." ”
"I'm not leaving! let's be together, we want to live together, we want to die together!" Leng Scarlet shook her head vigorously, and then ignored Hongda, just beat the horse and galloped, Hongda didn't say anything more when he saw this, slowed down the horse to Liangchen and Huo Hua's side, and said in a deep voice: "Follow Miss, so is Doctor Huo." ”
Behind him is a large group of pursuers, but the road ahead is unpredictable, at this moment this pedestrian is on the edge of life and death, as long as one is not careful, it will be doomed.
The night breeze was cool, the birds in the forest were startled, and the sound of the horses' hooves behind them gradually intensified, but the road ahead was still not visible, Hongda glanced at the people around him, and suddenly stopped the reins.
"Leader?!" someone spoke, but it did not reach the ears of Leng Feirou who was running at the front of the team, she was still riding her horse and galloping, wanting to use her own advance to drive this group of people to fight for a chance to live, Liu Shu turned around and did not stop, but was stopped by Hongda with a wave of his hand.
"Let's go!" Hongda's voice was not loud, revealing sternness, no doubt. Liu Shu knew what he wanted to do, but he also knew that he couldn't disobey his orders, so he didn't stop under a look, and still ran forward with Leng Feirou.
"Chief. Not everyone left, and when Hongdal stood still and waited for a while, a few more rides slowly came out behind him. Hongda didn't blame them, only raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, "Are you all ready?" ”
The long sword glowing with cold light was still carrying the blood that had not dried up, and the few people hit their horses to Hongda's side, stood away together, and replied with a smile: "Yes." ”
The iron cavalry trampled on the earth and shook, and the black and oppressive pursuers swarmed from behind, crowding the not wide forest path more and more congested, and seeing that there were people blocking the road in front of them, the soldiers at the front slowly stopped.
"Hmph. Chen Kai sneered and came over, glanced at Hongda, and smiled with contempt: "It's a little bold, Guiyunzhuang has already dispersed, but I didn't expect that there are still a few hard bones who are not afraid of death." ”
Hongda stood on the spot and raised his head and laughed: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid of heaven and earth, but I'm not afraid of death, and if I want to invite merit and receive rewards, I rushed to my grandfather, what kind of ability is it to bully a woman!"
"The dog who lost his family, the ability of his tongue, I, Chen Kai, will let you see and understand today, what is the real ability!"
The back of his fingers turned blue and white due to the force, Hongda tightened the blood-stained long sword in his hand, then grabbed the reins with one hand, kicked the horse's belly fiercely, and jumped forward with a shout, facing Chen Kai and striking directly.
