Chapter 1, Hunt and Kill
One hundred years of Hongwu, the northwest side of the fortress. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The snowy desert, the night geese are singing, looking around the wilderness, Xiao Mu is desolate.
Ten miles ago.
A group of black-clothed people were murderous, with black dragon horses under their crotch, their sideburns fluttering, and their heads neighing.
Looking from afar, domineering and mighty, the momentum is extraordinary.
In front of the men in black, there was another group of people running.
I saw them carrying steel knives in their hands, wearing remnant armor, carrying a pair of mother and son, galloping forward.
For three days and two nights, the men in black had been chasing and killing this group of soldiers for three days and two nights.
A large group of people, only these two dozen people were killed.
The soldiers' faces were pale and they looked very tired. The three days without a drop of water, coupled with the rush along the way, made their feet extremely heavy.
"Trance"
Suddenly, a running soldier fell to the ground along with the steel knife in his hand.
"Lao Wang, what's wrong with you, get up quickly!"
"Hurry up, brothers, and leave me alone."
Looking at his fallen old comrades-in-arms, Chen Yi's heart was like a knife.
As soon as he raised his head, he looked at the black shadow behind him, his eyes were full of slaughter, and there was a trace of helplessness, he held back his tears and said hoarsely: "Go!." ”
"Adjutant Chen, you can't leave Lao Wang behind!"
The remaining soldiers, begging.
The scattered voices were like sharp knives poking at Chen Yi's chest.
Chen Yi's eyes were blood-red, the corners of his eyes kept trembling, and he roared at the people around him: "Go!" This is a military order. ”
"But?"
"No, but! Have you not even listened to me? Chen Yi's eyes were horizontal, and he pulled out the steel knife, and the murderous aura of the battle, which had been fought for many years, was drawn out along with the tip of the knife.
"Don't dare!" Hearing the killing intent in Chen Yi's tone, the soldiers lowered their heads one after another.
"Then don't hurry up!"
"Yes!"
Chen Yi took the remaining soldiers, protected the mother and son, and continued to gallop eastward, and after a while, he disappeared.
Looking at the old brothers who disappeared in front of him, the corners of Lao Wang's chapped mouth showed a hint of a smile, and he clenched the old man who had followed him for many years, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Woohoo!"
A mournful cry came from the sky, and the eagle unique to the northwest triumphed, as if singing an overture to the dead.
……
Chen Yi, the deputy general of Chang Mao, the general of the Northwest Frontier, has been guarding the border fortress for nine years, and in another year, the army will be ten years old, and he can apply for an order to go home for retirement.
Ten years of military career, he has long been tired of this kind of life, he wanted to go home to hug his grandson, think about Qingfu, but never thought that something happened that completely changed his original life.
A few days ago, he received a secret order from General Chang to escort his wife and children back to Yanjing with a team of personal soldiers, but unexpectedly, as soon as he left, he was chased and killed by a group of black-clothed people behind him.
After a fight, he was defeated, and more than half of the casualties had to flee all the way.
Chen Yi understood that these blacks were the assassination team of Dongchang, and they came to arrest the general's wife and children, and wanted to force the general to hand over the talisman and return to Dongchang.
Since Taizu's retreat, the power fell to the emperor and grandson of the East Palace, and the struggle between the entire **** court has intensified.
Liu Ankang, the chief eunuch, was in charge of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and his power leaned towards the government and the opposition, forming parties for personal gain, colluding with ministers, and doing all kinds of evil.
Chang Mao came to disagree with Liu Ankang, and he couldn't get used to Liu Ankang's actions, so he often played in the court and participated in his book.
This time, Liu Ankang used a conspiracy to target Chang Mao, wanting him to be arrested and surrender to himself. But he never thought that Chang Mao would not eat soft and hard, and in total, he wanted to arrest his wife and children, and threatened and persecuted him.
……
Shilipo is a small basin surrounded by many soil slopes more than ten meters high, and you can see it at a glance from above.
On one of the dirt slopes, two men stood also dressed in black.
One with snow-white hair, a withered yellow face, and a tall figure, looked about thirty or forty years old. Standing on a dirt slope, facing east, holding a diora more than two inches long in his hand.
The man's expression was indifferent, he didn't say a word, and after looking at the diorama, he put it down and fell into deep thought, as if he was waiting for something.
The young man standing on the other side didn't dare to breathe, although the middle-aged man didn't speak, but the ferocity in his eyes occasionally shot out, which made him feel a chill in his heart.
After a short time, the middle-aged man in black came back to his senses, his black and white eyebrows moved, continued to look at the east, and said, "It's been three days." ”
"Qianhu, with the strength of the black-clothed assassin team, it can be taken in a few hours, why does it take so long?"
The middle-aged man in black squinted at him and said, "Wait! ”
"What are you waiting for?"
"Dragon Guard!"
"The dragon guards of the Hidden Dragon Villa?"
"Yes!"
"It is said that the identity of the dragon guard of the Hidden Dragon Villa is extremely mysterious. Not only is the cultivation level high, but everyone has special abilities. But just the three of them, what can they do? The governor is now in charge of the two major forces of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, what are you afraid of Hidden Dragon Villa? ”
"With the four words of King Jing Zhu Di, you can't underestimate Yinlong Villa. The governor wasn't afraid, but he couldn't do too much. This time it dragged on for so long, I wanted to let these three mysterious dragon guards show up and kill them. So that the Governor can reward me with the method of refining the trick and break through to the realm of the Martial Saint in one fell swoop. The middle-aged man in black pulled out the sword on his waist and raised it slightly, and the simple texture showed a fiery red dragon in the sunlight, which was lifelike.
The middle-aged man in black continued: "This Fire Dragon Sword was given to me by the Governor, and it has been fighting with me for many years. This time I want to use it to help me get into the sanctification. ”
As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man in black slashed the sword in his hand forward, and a dragon-shaped fiery red power flashed, and a boulder under the hillside was cut in half with a "stab".
Such a scene fell in the eyes of the young man, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and praise: "Qianhu, good swordsmanship." ”
"Huh!" Facing the young man's sycophancy, the middle-aged man in black didn't care, put the sword back into his waist with his backhand, took out the diorama, and continued to observe to the east.
A gust of wind blew, and the boulders that had just been split in half under the hillside quickly turned into a pile of powder, which was lifted one after another and drifted into the distance.
At this time, the black dragon horse under the crotch of the black-clothed assassin team rushed with its head up, and bursts of white smoke appeared on the silver hooves, and the speed was suddenly more than doubled.
In a few breaths, he caught up with Chen Yi and others.
This black dragon horse, with a few traces of the dragon's bloodline, in addition to excellent endurance, but also inherited some of the dragon's talents, this silver hoof stepping on white smoke, speed like the wind, is one of his inherited talents.
"Yu Yu ......!"
The Black Jiao Dragon Horse quickly surpassed Chen Yi and the others, divided into two waves, one in front and one behind, and sandwiched them in the middle.
Looking at the two waves of black-clothed assassins in front and behind, Chen Yi knew that he couldn't escape, gritted his teeth, clenched the steel knife in his hand and said, "Brothers, you have been born and died with me for so many years, my brother is sorry for you!" ”
As he spoke, with red eyes, he threw the war knife in his hand to the ground, and with a bang, some blood-red war knives stood on the ground like a hero's monument. After that, he smashed his knees on the ground, and knocked three times on the head of the twenty or so people in front of him.
"Adjutant Chen, I can't help it, I can't help it!" Seeing Chen Yi kowtowing to everyone, a group of old comrades-in-arms also had wet red eyes, and hurriedly helped him up.
"I, Chen Yi, am sorry for everyone, and I will make cattle and horses for everyone in the next life. But now I am still a soldier, and it is my duty to obey orders, and the task given to me by the general is to protect his wife and children. Even if I die, I will complete this task to the last second of my life. Chen Yi, who got up, drew his sword again, his eyes were full of divine brilliance, and the cold light of the tip of the knife pointed at the black-clothed people around him.
"Adjutant Chen, you're right! It is worth it for a soldier to obey orders as his duty, to be able to die in a place that we defend with our lives and blood! ”
"Mother, Xipi! It is a pleasure to be able to go to the Yellow Spring with the old brothers! ”
"Even if you die, you have to pull a few pads!"
“……”
Chen Yi heard the words of the old brothers, a warm current hit his chest, and the tears could no longer be stopped, and they ran down the corners of his eyes.
Chen Yi choked up and said, "Okay! Good! Good! ”
At this time, one of the veterans said, "Haha! What are you crying for? Death on the battlefield is our destiny! Let's kill it! ”
Chen Yi smiled and touched the tears in the corners of his eyes, tore off the torn armor, revealed the white robe, wiped his beloved war knife with his sleeve, and said, "Okay, let's kill happily!"
"Kill it!"
"Kill it!"
Suddenly, a group of veterans let out a cheer that looked at death as if they were at home, raised the war knives in their hands, and pointed at the enemy in front of them, and there was no fear of death on their faces.
"Kill!"
The black-clothed assassin team didn't say much, riding a war horse, holding a spear in his hand, and rushed towards Chen Yi's side.
Chen Yi, these veterans, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, did not panic, and hurriedly lined up to meet the enemy with the battle formation in the army.
The wind was galloping, and in a blink of an eye, the black-clothed assassins came to the front.
"Whew!" The spear broke through the air and fell in an instant.
Chen Yi and the others clenched the war knife in their hands, lowered their bodies, rolled to the ground quickly, waved the steel knife in their hands, and slashed at the horse's legs.
"Poof! Poof! ”
There was the sound of spears being nailed into flesh, and there was the sound of steel knives cutting off horses' legs.
After a round, there were a few fewer people on Chen Yi's side, and the black-clothed thorn team also lost a few black dragon horses.
Chen Yi and the others didn't look at the body of the fallen old brother, but just met the enemy with a knife, staring at the black-clothed assassin team in front of them.
Because they know that if there is negligence at this time, it is definitely a dead end.
The black-clothed assassin team uses the offensive method of cavalry, which is not only extremely fast, but also integrates the diving power of the black dragon horse, which is terrifying, and can be fatal if it is stabbed to the point.
"Here, everyone be careful, cut off the horse's legs!" Chen Yi looked at the impact of the second round, his eyes shrank, and at this moment, he leaned down and slashed at the leg of a man in black.
"Poof!"
The cold sword light seemed to be the Milky Way falling into the Nine Heavens, and the two horses' legs were cut off in an instant.
The blood sprayed very long, sweeping on Chen Yi's face, making people feel that he was a Shura who came out of hell.
The black dragon horse hissed in pain and collapsed to the ground in an instant.
Seeing the opportunity, the man in black flashed to the side, still half a foot from the ground, Chen Yifu stood up, held the war knife, and stabbed him in the heart.
"Ah......h
A scream resounded throughout the earth, and the man in black only felt a warm current flowing out of his heart, and then he lost consciousness.
