Chapter 46 Steep Cold Weather 1
Someone invaded. Someone invaded. There is an invasion of "people".
That's not people. It was a real illusion, a humanoid monster turned into snow, armed with a frost sword, engaged in a confrontation with the guards who had rushed to hear the news. Iron weapons and ice intertwined, clanging like blinding, dazzling stars. When they are cut, stabbed, and knocked down, the snow from heaven and earth flies to the wounds, fills them again, and gets up again, never getting tired.
But the guards are human beings, living flesh and blood people, people who will bleed when they are stabbed, who will die if they are cut off, who will feel tired, who will be afraid. They will also feel cold. They fought fiercely with these humanoid snow monsters with their faces turned white, and when they fell, they were covered in a thick layer of snow, burying their mouths and noses, and only their limbs struggled and convulsed. Tears of fear flowed halfway and froze into ice slag.
The intruder will be killed. But if it's not a "person" who invades, will it die?
This is a question that the leading guard Kang Xingyuan is thinking about. He is four in his Chinese New Year's Eve, although his business level is not very strong, he is better than being able to do things, framing several competitors, plus the innocence of the three generations of his ancestors, with his level has climbed to the highest position. At the end of the day, it's all the same, it's all about climbing up. In principle, if nothing happens, the guards are well paid and the work is easy, especially now that they are the leading guards, they can even be exempted from basic training, and if they really encounter something, it is enough to command others. It is both comfortable and relaxing, and free from danger, and the ultimate purpose of entering the tower is to escape.
However, this time it seems that there is no way to escape. Obtaining opportunities for advancement in an abnormal way will eventually reveal the problem when it comes to a real tricky problem that requires a high level of professionalism to solve.
Kang Xingyuan has always felt that commanding this matter, in most cases, there is no practical effect, the guards all have some ability, just let them rush up, as long as they don't die, even if the task is completed this time, if it can't be completed, it will be handed over to a more powerful master, and a few adults with imperial equipment in the palace will deal with it. More than ten years ago, when he was still a small guard, he participated in the encirclement and capture of the flying fish, and in the end, it was not a master to finally capture it. So he felt that the guards were just a face-saving project. But now it seems that it can't be, because of his poor command, most of the guards were attacked by the blizzard, buried by the snow raised by Pixiu, and now I don't know whether they are dead or alive. He could hear his fragile and fearful breathing in the fog.
In front of him is a snowman. Instead of a snowball piled up with leaves for its eyes, nose and mouth, and branches for arms, two piles of small and round rounds, it was a humanoid twice as tall as him, whose body was thickly covered with a layer of snow, and it walked slowly towards the guards, and uttered a terrible cry with its tongue and palate, long and long, sometimes like a parrot, sometimes like a dog, sometimes like a child's cry. Several voices were mixed together and made a chorus at the same time, which frightened Kang Xingyuan's whole person to froze, and there was only a bright snow-white light in his eyes.
The snowman growled, raised his huge palm, and slapped him on the neck.
- Brush!
Before Kang Xingyuan could react, a brighter light flashed in front of him, and then, the snowman's arm was removed, and thousands of pieces bloomed and watered down from the top of his head, although it was no longer out of shape and scattered, it still smashed Kang Xingyuan's eyes with gold stars, he hurriedly rolled to the ground and tried to get out of the chic - there is no guarantee of chic, he has not trained for a long time, he has even forgotten the basic way of dodging, his ass hit a few pieces of gravel, and his ass blossomed.
He raised his head, Zhao Ji helped him up, and said, "Guard Kang, are you okay?"
Kang Xingyuan naturally recognized Zhao Ji, and said busily: "Thank you His Royal Highness Duan Wang for saving your life, the little one will never forget!"
"Don't thank me, thank you Silver Wind. Zhao Ji said, "He blocked this big guy's attack for you, if it weren't for his speed, Master Kang would be in danger now." ”
"Yes, yes. Lord Silverwind saved my life. Kang Xingyuan stood up trembling with trembling legs, and said, "His Royal Highness King Duan, it's dangerous here, do you want to ...... Find a place to hide?"
It is exactly what Zhao Ji wants. Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Okay, then trouble the Kang guards to take me there." He turned around and asked, "Little Silver Wind, can you withstand it?"
Silver Wind's voice came, "If you can't stand it, you have to hold it!" He stood behind the snowman, who threw his head back and roared, his broken arm swinging down, and the snow particles flew up and wrapped up, and the wind roared, and the arm was re-condensed, just like at the beginning. Silver Wind puffed out his cheeks, snorted, and said in a low voice, "It's really troublesome." ”
"Okay. Zhao Ji said in a deep voice, "Master Kang, let's go." ”
Kang Xingyuan nodded again and again: "Okay-" But his word "good" stopped abruptly after only half of speaking.
Zhao Ji was taken aback.
Kang Xingyuan's eyes didn't have time to close, he looked at the safe place in the distance, the hidden island that belonged to him alone, a safe place, a place where every time something happened, he would hide, as long as he stayed, and then ran out when the matter was over, and the survivor was added to the knighthood.
But this time it seems that it can't be added. The icicle snapped in the wind and snow, flying towards his position, piercing from the front of his chest to his back the moment he spoke, and the position close to his body was dyed a delicate pink.
- No, I finally climbed here, I don't want to start all over again in the next life, it's too tiring. I want to live, I want to go back to see my wife and son, I still have a family, I don't want to die.
He tried to speak, but as soon as he spoke, pink blood foamed out of his mouth, like a crab that had just been fished out of the water.
"What's wrong?" Silver Wind jumped to dodge the snowman's kick, looked around, and frowned, "Isn't it......?" Guards Kang died so soon?" he was just puzzled, but he didn't feel very heartbroken. For him, life and death are also commonplace.
And Zhao Ji calmed down, looked at Kang Xingyuan, who was foaming blood and gradually collapsed, his heart moved, he squatted down and asked, "Where are you hiding?"
Kang Xingyuan's eyes moved slightly, and Mu was stunned and waited for death, but the pain made him still have a little primitive reaction. Zhao Ji asked, he didn't think of it at once, he didn't think of it until he died. But—he thought to himself, I'm going to die, why should I let you live?
So he said, "I don't know." ”
Suddenly, his whole person was lifted, Zhao Ji lifted him up in front of him, and said softly, "Are you okay, Guard Kang?"
Zhao Ji's hand grabbed the ice cube that pierced Kang Xingyuan's chest. As soon as he grabbed it, Kang Xingyuan's lowered eyelids immediately rolled up, rolling his eyes and howling. His several howls caught Silverwind's attention, and Silverwind turned his head to see that the snowman roared at him, and Silverwind was hit, and gasped backwards, and muttered quietly as the whole person bounced up, "What are you anxious about." ”
Zhao Ji smiled at him, twisted his hand vigorously, and said: "Tell me the pain, Kang Guard, if you say it, your lady and son will not worry about food and clothing in this life, this point, you can rest assured——"
He laughed, his eyes glinting, a look of horror that had never appeared on his face before.
Kang Xingyuan's whole face was distorted, he looked at Zhao Ji, slowly opened his mouth, coughed and thought, blood foam sprayed onto Zhao Ji's face. Zhao Ji looked at him, waited for him slowly, and said in a trembling voice: "In Huiyun Palace...... Orchid...... Langui ......"
Zhao Ji's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Huiyun Palace, Langui Pavilion?"
—The place where Shaw Bowen said that he could avoid pursuit, the place where his Flying Spirit Master had hid many years ago. This seems to be somewhat credible.
He didn't wait for the other party to confirm, Kang Xingyuan's eyes kicked, his legs kept going, and he choked out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes began to flood with light gray like dead fish. This time, Zhao Ji showed a look of disgust, he pushed Kang Xing far to the ground, got up and walked directly to the southeast. Huiyun Palace, Langui Pavilion, the place where the memory is, his mother also loves to sit there, it turns out that it has always been safe. The sound of swords clashing behind him stabbed his ears and the back of his head. He immediately ran wildly.
— and hit headfirst on a wall of snow.
Zhao Ji looked up at the pale in front of him. He didn't want to try it with his head again, after all, his head was not made of iron. So he raised his foot and kicked it. Oh, it's good, it hurts, it hurts so much that he's going to break bones, and if he can't get by, he can't get by, and he has to create an illusion that he won't know if he can't get through when he hits the wall, it's really hypocritical.
But there is no need for him to say that people are hypocritical now, he was very hypocritical and vicious just now. But-Zhao Ji thought, Kang Xingyuan's matter still has to be dealt with later. It's not easy to get to this position.
Zhao Ji sighed, pursed his lips, like a child who had done something bad and was caught, turned around and said, "Is there something wrong, several-" His pupils shrank suddenly, and said, "...... Flame Warbler?"
Yan Ying had an elegant smile on her face, she walked towards him gracefully, the scarlet robe was both gorgeous and quiet in the snow, so that people's eyes unconsciously focused on her, unable to move, unable to control, not to mention that she was so beautiful, unbelievably beautiful, wild and wantonly beautiful, her eyes looked at him, slowly bent up, and said: "His Royal Highness King Duan, it is a coincidence that we met here." ”
Zhao Ji took a step back, hit the ice wall, and hit the back of his head, he thought angrily, he still can't escape.
Zhao Ji smiled bitterly: "It turns out that you are a member of the Huayang Sect? Then you are not, you know my brother Zhao Yan, why don't you tell me?"
Yan Ying sneered and said, "You haven't asked me either, Your Royal Highness Duan Wang." Your brother is an interesting guy, but I don't really like to talk to him. He was so naïve, like a child. ”
Zhao Ji looked up at the sky, sighed, and said, "Which kid would want to kill someone?"
Yan Ying laughed, stretched out her finger and pointed at the tip of Zhao Ji's nose, and said, "Didn't you just kill someone? You and your brother are essentially the same." ”
"I don't ......" Zhao Ji frowned and wanted to defend himself, but after thinking about it, his brows stretched out again, and said, "Okay, I did kill him, and I may not be a good person." And what about my brother, since he is in the same group as you, and the purpose should be the same, why didn't he come here for such a big thing?"
Yan Ying smiled: "He, he is casual, now at home, drinking tea and chatting with General Wang." ”
Zhao Ji raised his head sharply and exclaimed, "Is Wang Liefeng there with him?"
Yan Ying said softly: "Yes, Wang Liefeng. Have you forgotten about him?"
- It wasn't long after they parted, but it seemed like they hadn't thought of him for a long time. From this point of view, it seems that he just treats him as a guard, and it makes no difference whether it is him or Su Can.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji felt a little guilty, he changed the topic, and said, "What about Su Can? You won't kill him, will you? If it weren't for him, I would have a lot of things to do, and I would be affected." Yanying, you also know that I don't know martial arts, but don't bully people......"
"What do you say Su Can ......" Yan Ying turned around, and suddenly an ice cube flew straight over, she took out a Yue from behind her back, and stopped it with a bang.
Zhao Ji found that her face was obviously gloomy, and this look made him shudder. Yan Ying's eyes were cold, and as soon as such an expression came out, the whole person became extremely unfamiliar.
Yan Ying said coldly, "Who doesn't want to live anymore?" she turned her head.
Silver Wind sat on top of the snowman's wreckage, the pile of snow slag stuck in the high, and said, "Forget about hurting the guards, the emperor's own brother is not something you can touch, big sister." ”
Yan Ying sneered: "Who wants to recognize you as a younger brother?"
Silver Wind smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, my sister is only thirty years old. ”
Yan Ying shouted angrily: "Stinky boy, you shut up for me!"
The snowdrift beneath Silver Wind began to tremble, he stood up, shook the snow on his body, patted it around, and sighed, "Big sister, you really can't say anything!"
His hand slapping the snow stopped halfway through.
He saw the snow creeping up on him, rising from his hands to his arms, up to his neck, and all the way up to his chin. Silverwind's eyes blinked, revealing a confused and nervous emotion - he thought it was not good, very bad, but he did not expect that this bad feeling would come from the quietest and most harmless snow.
But he shouldn't be unnoticed, after all, the composition of the snowman is snow, the snowman has no life, snow is its life, the snowman will scatter and the snow has not melted, they entangle the silver wind, wrap his mouth and nose, and then to his pair of red phoenix eyes, not even let go of his ears.
The snow poured upwards and thicker, making it harder and harder to breathe, turning him into a snowman. The snowman is not supposed to have a life, so it is necessary to strip his life from it first.
Silverwind couldn't see his way clearly, he could only jump around by feeling, he raised his hand and pulled the snow off his face, at first his face was able to appear occasionally, and he took a few big breaths, but was soon wrapped again, he didn't want to admit that he was struggling. But without air, it is always easy to fall into panic, cold, heaviness, suffocation, terror.
So Zhao Ji saw that the wind and snow continued to rush towards Yinfeng's body, layer by layer like infinitely thickened clouds, Yinfeng's whole person seemed to freeze in place, and he was about to fall down, but after all, he was carrying imperial equipment, so he would not lose his combat effectiveness in a short period of time; , all the way to the edge of the pillar, the silver wind could not see or hear clearly, only a slight sense of touch and a sixth sense, he looked up vigilantly, but he did not know that danger was coming.
Zhao Ji's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly grabbed Yan Ying and said, "Yan Ying, calm down!"
"I'm so calm. Yan Ying shook off his hand with a smile and said in a cold tone, "I know very well that whoever makes me angry has to die. ”
Zhao Ji hurriedly said: "Yan Ying-for my sake-"
Yan Ying glanced at him obliquely and said with a smile, "Are you familiar with him?"
"I don't want to see someone die in front of me. Zhao Ji said in a trembling voice, "That will make me feel guilty." ”
Yan Ying laughed and said, "What hypocrisy, His Royal Highness Duan Wang!"
A light flashed in front of Zhao Ji's eyes. Immediately afterward, the snow pillar collapsed like a towering building, and the whole ground was pressed down, slapping the silver wind under the ruins, completely silent.
Zhao Ji said with difficulty: "Silver Wind ......" His heart was cold, and the sense of terror rose. It seemed that he remembered what he wanted to do, and before he could react, he was picked up by Yan Ying—first grabbing the neckline and dragging it in her direction, and then releasing one finger and caressing his chin like kneading a kitten. Zhao Ji gasped.
Yan Ying approached him and smiled teasingly: "When I touched you like this in Fengle Building, you didn't react like this." ”
Zhao Jibian said: "That also depends on the specific situation, when you are in Gentle Township, you even feel that the line of sight is full of fire, very romantic, Yanying, you are so beautiful." ”
"What about now?" Yan Ying said, "Am I still so beautiful?" ”
Zhao Ji blinked and said, "Compared with that time, there is naturally a big gap——"
Yan Ying's hand tightened, and Zhao Ji's entire face immediately swelled to purple.
"Because," he struggled to say the second half, "I thought you were just a soft and weak woman, but I didn't expect you to be both civil and military, and when I saw you like this today, I felt that you actually had a sense of heroism, so ...... It's even more exciting. Little by little, bubbles of air were expelled from his body, and his voice grew weaker and weaker, until at last it was indiscernible.
But Yan Ying heard it, and heard it clearly, Zhao Ji saw the smile on her face. At this moment, the smooth airflow re-entered his throat, and Yan Ying lowered him.
