Chapter 2 of the Northern Heaven Horseshoe Disease Encounters a Sneak Attack
On an official road in Liangzhou, there was a group of about five or six hundred displaced people, all of whom were dusty and haggard.
As the sun sank, the evening breeze, already chilly, began to wreak havoc, making the thinly clothed homeless people shiver.
When they reached the foot of a mountain, the owner asked the homeless people to stop and camp.
The owner of this group of homeless people is an old man in coarse linen clothes, with a clumsy body and gray hair, although his appearance is not good, but the name Lu Wu enjoys a good reputation in both the strict temple and the towering Shilin.
Lu Wu in the official position of the Gale Dynasty to be the Yellow Gate Squire, he firmly believes in "ink learning", regards himself as a ink scholar, is knowledgeable, and maverick, and Taichang Zhang Maoxian is called "Shilin Shuangqi".
Beside him stood a young girl, also coarse and linen, who led the young men among the homeless people to arrange camping, calmly and orderly.
After making arrangements, the girl helped Lu Wu to sit down by the fire, then turned around and went to the cart to get a leather water bag and handed it to Lu Wu.
"Xin'er, you go and see if the clansmen are settled. ”
The girl nodded and replied, "Dad, you take a rest, I'll go." ”
Lu Wu smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, girl." ”
The girl replied to her father with a sweet smile, although she did not apply fat powder, but she was still jade and bright, and her beauty was extraordinary.
She got up to leave, but just took a few steps, suddenly stopped, and then walked back to Lu Wu quickly, stretched out her hand to help Lu Wu up, and the look on her face became solemn.
"Daddy!"
Lu Wu glanced at the displaced people around him, and said in a deep voice: "Let everyone not panic, surround the old people and children in the middle, and the others are ready to meet the enemy." ”
A few young men went quickly, and the scattered crowd quickly gathered over, like frightened chickens.
In the direction of the road, the sound of horses' hooves pierced the night.
Hundreds of pairs of pitiful and vigilant eyes, staring closely in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came, more than 200 young men, some holding swords in their hands, some holding farm tools and sticks in their hands, in short, there were all kinds of weapons in their hands, but this did not affect them in the slightest to stand up and share the same hatred.
The elderly, women and children who were surrounded in the middle were holding each other, their faces full of horror and despair.
The sound of horses' hooves, like amulets, drew closer and closer, and at last crossed the ridge and entered the sight of the wanderers, none of whom raised their torches.
Dozens of fires lit up the camp, illuminating the surroundings.
What kind of cavalry was that?
But seeing that the horse sitting down was tall and majestic, shaking his head and snorting and exhaling white air, the master on his back was wearing a black armor, a cross-waist knife, a long bow on his back, and a piece of Baise arrow feathers were exposed in the quiver.
A group of black-armored cavalry, like ghosts from hell.
The leader was a young man, and the bright light armor on his body was very eye-catching, and the white horse dragon horse sitting down highlighted his status in the cavalry.
The young man clenched the long knife in his left hand and urged the white dragon foal under his crotch to take a few steps forward, and a middle-aged attendant on his left hand also followed, only half a horse behind the young man.
Dressed in a cloth and green shirt, with two beards at the corners of his mouth, and a pair of fighting eyes under his wide forehead, he is very eye-catching. He held a long sword in his hand, and the momentum of his whole body overshadowed the young man in front of him.
The arrogant young man turned his head to glare, and when he turned his face again, the corners of his mouth instantly lengthened, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, where are you going?
The girl beside Lu Wu showed a cold light in her watery eyes, her pretty face was tense, and a short sword inserted in her waist was held in her hand.
Lu Wu's dry face did not have the slightest expression, and with a pair of eyes like old wolf eyes, he did not look at the young man on the white horse dragon horse, but stared closely at the middle-aged man in a green shirt behind him.
When the young man saw that the old man did not respond to his words, and he didn't even look at him, his anger suddenly surged, as a son of the Rong royal family, the general of the town, only he squinted at people on weekdays, and no one dared to ignore him, not to mention that when the person in front of him first arrived in Qinzhou, because of the old man's fame, he made a gesture of a corporal who was polite.
After learning that Lu Wu led his clan to secretly leave Anding County, the young man was already furious, just to not destroy his magnanimous image, he pretended to be relaxed along the way, and even laughed in front of his subordinates.
At this time, I couldn't help it anymore, and a wave of anger gushed out: "Lu Wu, don't give you a shame, I will endure you again and again, it is for the sake of the virtue of a good life in the heavens, I have dominated the desert for hundreds of years, and now I am in the main pass, and I will go east in the near future, and the entire Gale Dynasty will also surrender under my Rongguo Iron Cavalry, and the world's luck is only based on the virtuous, you understand what I mean." ”
The old man still turned a deaf ear to Tuoba Hong's voice, as if in front of him, only the middle-aged man was standing.
The girl beside him raised her head and said: "Tuoba Hong, you are acting like a person to our Lu family, just to get the treasure of the Mo family from my father's mouth, but I advise you not to waste your efforts, don't say that we don't know, and even if we do, we won't say it to people like you." ”
Tuoba Hong narrowed his eyes, his narrow eyes were like cold snake eyes, stared at the girl for a while, suddenly widened, and sneered: "Pure heart girl, you are so beautiful." ”
The girl snorted coldly.
In the flickering firelight, the group of Xuanjia knights gradually dispersed, and a Ling Ran aura spread in the air.
Tuoba Hong stared at the girl, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes: "It is said that the maid of the Lu family in Xijing City is bright and moving, and her writing is peerless, when I see it today, it is really extraordinary, why don't we have a fight, if the Qingxin girl can win the knife in my hand, I will let you go, how about it?"
The girl turned her head and glanced at Lu Wu, and said coldly: "Let's go out of the knife!"
Tuoba Hong smiled while stroking the white horse's mane: "However, if the Qingxin girl loses, not only will the people of your Lu family not be able to leave, but you will also have to belong to me." ”
------
On a small earthen bag a hundred steps away, there were three figures, quietly looking at this side, when he heard Tuoba Hong's presumptuous words, Jiang Wenyu couldn't help it at first, but he was still pressed by Zhao Yi's hand, and then he honestly lay on the ground again, but his eyes were already filled with a cold gaze.
That group of cavalry, wearing Xuan armor, hanging armor-piercing knives on their waists, and flying feather arrows on their backs, don't have to think about it to know that it is the cavalry of the Rong Kingdom, although their Jiang family sits on the three northwestern states and establishes the Yan country, but it is a bitter cold land, the land is barren and the people are poor, how can there be surplus money and grain to buy such luxurious armor, and the personal guard cavalry of the Jiang family royal family has such treatment.
For hundreds of years, the Tuoba tribe has been the sworn enemy of the Jiang clan, which is why his eyes are cold.
"Look again!" Zhao Yi said softly.
Four years ago, Zhao Yi fled Los Angeles in a hurry, following a group of homeless people, alone, starving and freezing, Zhao Yi from a prince with fine clothes and food to a wanderer among the homeless.
When his mother was leaving, she said to him: People die only in an instant, and when they die, they are a hundred, and the most difficult thing is to live in pain all the time.
For four years, he has been deeply appreciating this sentence from his mother.
He clearly remembered the last words her mother said to him: "Yi'er, your father ruined the foundation of your ancestors and caused chaos in the world, and we are ashamed of our ancestors and the people." In the future, if you can restore peace to the world, it will be atonement for your father's sins. But my mother still hopes that you will live a peaceful life, marry a wife and have children, and it is best to be safe. ”
The corner of the girl's mouth showed a sneer, and her right hand suddenly pulled out a short sword and pointed at Tuoba Hong, but there was no momentum of sword cultivation, but it looked like a girl next door playing with a short sword.
Tuoba Hong on the white horse dragon horse couldn't help laughing, although the girl on the opposite side was coarse and gray, and no fat powder was applied, but the jade face was difficult to hide, and I saw pity, so that his heart couldn't help but itch.
Suddenly, the momentum changed drastically, and the short sword in the girl's hand turned into a beam of white light, stabbing at Tuoba Hong like a sharp arrow, and then she also moved, a sharp qi machine, pointing directly at Tuoba Hong, the middle-aged man who was half a horse behind Tuoba Hong's face changed, and the figure jumped up from the horse's back, and met the gray figure floating over with one palm.
He didn't pay attention to the white light, with Tuoba Hong's cultivation, he wouldn't be able to dodge a flying sword flying from the sky.
It's just that when the aura from his palm touched the gray figure, his face changed again, and the girl slipped over his palm like a slippery loach swimming in the water.
The white light that Tuoba Hong dodged actually turned a corner behind him and flew back, and the girl who had just arrived in front of him stretched out a white hand to hold the white light, and then gently swiped Tuoba Hong's neck, and the corners of his mouth moved with a chuckle, making a voice that only Tuoba Hong could hear: "Tell you, I'm still a sword cultivator." ”
When the girl returned to Lu Wu's side, Tuoba Hong on the white horse dragon horse covered his neck tightly with one hand, and his eyes were wide, some were surprised, some regretted, some feared, and finally his body was crooked and he fell off the horse.
It all happened in a flash of light, and by the time everyone reacted, it was over.
Of the three people lying on the ground in the distance, only Zhao Yi saw the girl's technique clearly, Cui Shusheng saw a trance, and Jiang Wenyu didn't see it clearly at all, and most of the reason was that his attention was on the Xuanjia cavalry.
"Shoot!" Zhao Yi snorted softly.
Like three tanuki rushing out of the wild grass, as fast as a breeze, the distance of a hundred steps arrived in an instant, Zhao Yi punched a defenseless soldier wearing Xuanjia into the air, and at the same time kicked one foot heavily on the head of another Xuanjia soldier, and the soldier fell to the ground like a bundle of firewood.
Domineering and brave, clean and neat.
The sword in Cui Shusheng's hand was like a spiritual snake, the tip of the sword was erratic, and soldiers were constantly falling from their swords.
Almost at the same time, after a roar, Jiang Wenyu held the knife in both hands, jumped high, and then slashed at the Xuanjia cavalry like a mountain, and there were three people and three horses on the spot turned into six people and six horses.
The middle-aged man in the cloth and green shirt hugged Tuoba Hong, who had turned into a corpse, and stepped aside, he only hesitated slightly, then put down Tuoba Hong's body, turned around and drew his sword, and threw himself towards the girl beside the old man.
The sword is like a blue light, and the body is like a ghost.
The girl did not hesitate, but this time she did not make a flying sword, but held the sword to meet the blue light in the middle-aged man's hand, which was also extremely fast.
As soon as Lu Wu waved his hand, several men with swords in their hands gathered beside him, ready to block the impact of the cavalry in front of him, while those young men with farm tools and sticks, as well as the old and young women, were far away from the battlefield.
The Xuanjia cavalry of 100 people was suddenly Zhao Yi, Jiang Wenyu, and Cui Shusheng, and the three of them were stunned and disrupted with lightning speed, and the attack of the three was too fast and domineering, plus the leader Tuoba Hong was killed, and there was no backbone, although the number of this team was small, it was the first-class Xuanjia cavalry of the Rong State, and it only ended in destruction.
All this is thanks to Zhao Yi's grasp of the timing of the attack, as well as the extremely powerful means of the three of them.
With her light and agile body, the girl dodged the sword light in the hands of the middle-aged man, but she still hung the color. The middle-aged man in the cloth and green shirt only showed his terrible at this time, since ancient times, sword cultivation has been known for its lightness, and the sword in his hand is a rare domineering road, and there is a faint sound of wind and thunder in the blue light sword qi.
The girl was like a dragonfly in the blue light sword qi one after another, but it was like a fairy in the extreme danger.
Zhao Yi turned around and saw that Jiang Wenyu and Cui Shusheng were at ease with the remnants of the cavalry, he leaned over and picked up a saber of the Rongguo cavalry, a vertical leap, holding the knife with both hands in the air, and the whole body qi was infused with both arms, like Jiang Wenyu, he slashed Huashan with a knife, and cut off the domineering sword momentum of the middle-aged man with one sword, and after landing on the ground, he glanced at the girl and asked, "Girl, are you okay?"
The girl held a short sword in her hand, her face was a little pale, her breathing was short, her chest was undulating, she glanced at the man who saved her, and her eyes lit up, it was a beautiful face, peach blossom eyes, white teeth and red lips, and she was actually a woman with eyebrows. Under the two eyebrows, his gaze was cold, which made him more heroic and a little less feminine.
A person who was born so handsome turned out to be a man.
The girl shook her head bitterly, a smile on her face.
The middle-aged man in a green shirt stood quietly two feet away, he didn't care at all about the cavalry and horse team that was about to be destroyed, and his eyes were only fixed on the young man with a knife.
The middle-aged man in the cloth and green shirt seemed to see the situation of the two sides clearly, so he did not hesitate for a moment and walked away cleanly.
The battle had come to an end, the corpses on the ground were strewn and scattered, the blood stained the sand, and the horses that had lost their masters let out a mournful cry that could be heard far away in the open field.
Some of the horses were arching their masters with their mouths, as if urging them to get up and continue the fight.
A quarter of an hour ago, he was still straddling a white horse and a dragon horse, with hundreds of horsemen guarding behind him, controlling the fate of many people. A quarter of an hour later, it had turned into a cold corpse in the dead grass.
This is the world nowadays, Zhao Yi's heart was low and ashamed, his mother said that such a world was caused by his fearful father.
Jiang Wenyu and Cui Shusheng came to Zhao Yi's side, and the girl had already helped Lu Wu to come over, Lu Wu hugged his fists and said: "Thank you three young heroes for helping and saving the hundreds of lives of my Jiang family." ”
When he saw Zhao Yi, his face was shocked, and he was busy covering up the past.
Zhao Yi smiled back, but did not make a sound, Jiang Wenyu on the side stared at the girl, and let out a sigh of praise in his mouth: "Girl, you are so beautiful!"
