Chapter Twenty-Four: A Bloody Confrontation
At this time, Cai Ye and the others had been walking hastily in the night for more than an hour, and the sky had begun to be a little bright, and it was not yet dawning. The heavy night is still dark and oppressive, and the fog in the early autumn morning, if it is not for the moonlight, it will be more difficult to walk all the way in the dark.
They did not choose to take some bushy, rugged sheep intestine trails or mountain paths, but chose the only official road from Yuliang to Beiyi.
In their opinion, the winding paths may hide their whereabouts more secretly, making it difficult for people to catch up, but they are also easy to get lost, especially at night, which is self-defeating.
The official road is relatively open, and the horseback riding and walking are all flat and fast. And even if they are overtaken, they have a fallout.
It is not difficult for careful people to find that Cai Tingzhi in the team has disappeared at this time.
Midori looked lethargic and lifeless all the way, but even so, her mind was still spinning at high speed, constantly looking for a way out.
Yes, she wants to save herself, people are seeking to live, not to die! It's a pity that she has no clue for almost two hours along the way, Cai Ye's people are like several airtight walls that trap her firmly in the "wall", and she doesn't even have the opportunity to observe the terrain.
After walking hastily for a while, they came to a steep mountain, over which they were much closer to Beiyi. The peak is high into the clouds, straight up to the blue sky, is a landmark mountain peak between Yuliang and Beiyi, named "Soul Returning Peak".
When Lu Hui first heard this name, he suddenly felt a creepy, and thought, if he falls from the top of this peak cliff, he can still live, and he will "return to the underworld" and go directly to the underworld!
Cai Ye and his entourage climbed to the top of the peak along the familiar mountain road by moonlight, because there were more people walking on this road, it had evolved from an ordinary mountain road to a relatively smooth avenue to the sky, but it was a little steep, so it didn't take long for everyone to climb to the peak.
The peak under the moonlit night seems to be shrouded in a pure light, and the touch of reaching out to pick up the stars adds to the ethereal and illusory feeling, as if the clouds are soaring through the mist.
Really infinite scenery in the dangerous peak!!
Because everyone only cared about sighing at the scenery on the top of the cliff, they didn't find a black and oppressive human head in front of them, and the neat and uniform clothing revealed a dignified momentum. Isn't it the airborne European medieval ancient knight Lu Han who is the leader?
Green Hui couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and almost screamed. Is he going to save her?
The sharp-eyed Cai Ye also saw Lu Han with a detached temperament in the crowd, he was stunned at first, and then felt that it was expected, he teased in a high-pitched voice: "Lu Shizi, I didn't expect you to be so interested, go to the top of the cliff in the middle of the night to enjoy the moonlight!" ”
Lu Ji looked leisurely and complacent: "Lord Cai, everyone is each other!" After speaking, the smile is like a flower!
At this time, Cai Ye suddenly restrained his smile, and said, "Lu Shizi, you don't have to bring your Shenyuan to ride to enjoy the moonlight!" Could it be that the son of the world is going to block the old man's way? ”
Lu Yan was still smiling, but his words were a little more cold: "Then I won't talk darkly, this son is here to rob people today!" The subject is none other than your prisoner!" After speaking, he glanced faintly at the green figure in the crowd.
Hearing Lu Yan's words, Lu Hui's eyes turned a little red, yes, she was so excited, she was not mistaken, they didn't abandon her, that was enough!
"Hmph, Lu Shizi, you are openly rebelling against the court, Zhuang Luhui's criminal is monstrous and absconded in fear of crime, the crime is unforgivable, you will be beheaded one day, why do you want to take your good future for her!" Cai Ye hoped that the conflict would be avoided, because he wanted to rush to the capital as much as possible.
Lu Han also knew that doing so would inevitably implicate himself, but it was a pity that he couldn't watch Lu Hui go to death in vain! Anything can be considered, but when a person dies, there is only empty talk.
He didn't know if the treacherous and cunning Cai Ye would kill her halfway, and after returning to the Beiyi Palace, she would only be under more strict guard, and it would be even more difficult to save people at that time. So he could only intercept them halfway.
In fact, since Lu Hui was recognized by Cai Ye that day, he has been tossing and turning whether to risk saving her, and in the end he couldn't deceive his heart, he didn't want to lose such a "confidant". So he mobilized his Shenyuan to ride to Yuliang overnight, and learned that Cai Ye and the others had left overnight, so he had to take a path to the top of the cliff to stop them.
"You don't need to say it, just release the people, otherwise you will only have to meet each other!" Lu Yan had a very hard attitude, and he didn't plan to talk nonsense with him anymore.
"Hmph, that old man will teach you an arrogant boy on behalf of the court!" While speaking, everyone faintly heard some footsteps coming down from the mountain, and they all knew that Suosuo was fluttering lightly, like a ghost, and after a while, they saw Cai Tingzhi and a group of people appearing on the top of the cliff.
What a speed!
I saw that these men were wearing vermilion clothes, and the women were wearing cyan clothes, as if they formed a painting of ink and blue. It's just that these people are dull-eyed, their eyes are scattered, ** and their souls seem to have been separated, just like a walking corpse, and it is even more eerie and terrifying under the moonlit night!
"Danqing Palace!" Lu Yan reacted quickly, he didn't expect Cai Ye to send people from Danqing Palace to deal with him, it seems that he has already taken precautions.
In fact, everyone in Danqing Palace has been secretly following Cai Ye, and he placed them in Yuliang City, in order to avoid causing a commotion, he didn't plan to let them show up, unless there were special circumstances. But on the way to escort him, he had already thought that Lu Yan, this kid, might have action, so he had to dispatch them to deal with his Shenyuan Cavalry.
This is the first time I have seen the people of Danqing Palace, but I didn't expect them to really become "puppets", Cai Ye is as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, he took away a person's soul, but left their ** for him.
"That's right, today I'll let you take a look at Danqing Palace's 'Flowing Blue Sky' array!" After speaking, he asked a group of people to take a few steps back, and he stood in front of him and shouted: "Array!" ”
I saw that the people in Danqing Palace suddenly reacted as if they were chained, leaped up from one side, and landed in front of Cai Ye like a dragonfly. After standing still, they ghostly shuttled back and forth, as if looking for their place.
Their figures were as fast as lightning, overlapping and overlapping, and after a moment of dizziness, they discharged a formation, and the whole process was like flowing clouds and water, all in one go. At this time, they were like marionettes, waiting for the opposite person to attack.
Lu Yan kept staring at the people of Danqing Palace with a solemn expression. They have a lot of experience in marching and arranging formations, and it can even be said that they have reached the realm of perfection, but he did not underestimate the enemy, but was waiting for an opportunity to find out the flaws.
"Group A is out, after the ten of you enter the formation, remember to try your best to find out their position, grasp the initiative, attack as soon as you find a flaw, and don't give them a chance to breathe!" Lu Yan commanded cautiously.
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the well-trained black-armored soldier quickly rushed over and jumped into the "Turbulent Blue Sky" formation.
All of a sudden, the people on the two sides seemed to be entangled together, and I saw the people of Danqing Palace skillfully and accurately changing their positions, and their wind-like figures circled around among the black-armored soldiers, but no matter how they circled, they could echo with the corresponding people, like twin babies.
As long as the black-armored soldiers attack one of them, the other side will take advantage of the situation to kill, and it is precisely this attack that responds to the other, and the other side responds. Their positions are so varied that before you even see their faces, they appear in another position and are pressing on you, killing you everywhere.
The black-armored soldiers who had just entered the battle were a bit like they were firmly "trapped", but they were obviously also well-trained, quickly "recording" the figures into their own minds, remembering their positions each time, and when the various figures continued to flash in front of their eyes, their brains were also running at high speed.
Suddenly, they seemed to understand the principle of permutation and combination, from the initial static braking to the active seizure of their position, intending to break through their distant echo and make their array unable to play freely.
Now the comparison is speed, the two sides are like ball balls twisted together, pulling each other, and each of them is unprepared, and they can't tell the difference for a while.
Under the stalemate, Cai Ye shouted: "Reverse the situation!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the people of Danqing Palace quickly reunited into a "merger", and in an instant, they scattered in all directions, the formation was no longer the previous formation, and between the lightning and flint, several black-armored soldiers who were caught off guard were hit by the body and thrown out of the formation, blood gushed out, and one of the more strict zhòng fell directly to the ground and died.
Seeing this, Lu Yan immediately asked a few soldiers from Group B to supplement it, trying not to let them mess up.
Sure enough, you can't underestimate them, the movement of a formation is already complicated, and it is difficult to remember, and they are changing different formations, so what kind of memory is needed to do it? The lethality of the transition gap is staggering, because everyone didn't expect it.
The newly joined soldiers quickly merged with their people, but because they didn't know what kind of formation the people of Danqing Palace were going to change for a while, they could only circle around in the formation.
The people of the Danqing Palace continued to wrap around them like water snakes, attacking their bodies unexpectedly as they were dizzy.
The array itself is not aggressive, the purpose is only to trap them, and once trapped, they can use force on them as they please, and finally defeat them completely.
The black-armored soldiers in the formation suddenly seemed to return to the original chaotic state, and after being pushed around by the sudden figure, two more were thrown out of the formation, falling from a high altitude and falling to the ground to their deaths.
Lu Yan's heart on the side was a little cold, if they continued like this, they would definitely lose. In fact, he had already seen the flaws in these two formations, and knew what permutations and combinations they were based on.
They not only fused some number combinations like the nine-square grid, but also added the space-time arrangement of heaven and earth with the five elements of gossip, and the two merged into one and interspersed with them, making people fall into chaos. But in fact, as long as his soldiers have enough time and a mentality of being in danger, they can still break it. It's just that it's hard to "vacate" this time, and their speed is too fast.
So, he decided to take it upon himself to take it personally.
