Chapter 153: Strangling in the Night
However, even with Nie Wushuang's power, he never expected that before the elders and masters of the Hook Annihilation Department arrived, they were first besieged by the full force of Zhao Guoqianji Pavilion.
The mountain ghost finally leaked his whereabouts. He didn't know that the Qianji Pavilion had already closely monitored the place where the Qin State delegation lived. And the main purpose of them doing this is to fish out the "big fish" lurking in Dragon City.
During this period of time, after non-stop searches and a comprehensive blockade, almost all the inside and outside of Dragon City have undergone a thorough cleansing. Many of the princes' spies who were hostile to Zhao were almost completely strangled. This kind of contest in the dark, although it is rarely known by the general public, in fact, happens all the time. In either case, it was an unusually brutal battle.
And the Qin State has become the target of key elimination. Since the large-scale attack of Zhaowumen, Liezi Yufeng personally passed down an order, asking the spies of the Thousand Machines Pavilion to strangle and kill the spies. In a short period of time, countless battles took place in unknown corners. Hundreds of spies on both sides lost their lives in it. These people, who all had strong beliefs, fought for their respective kings and countries, sacrificed their lives to the death, and fought heroically. Whether it is justice or injustice, in a way, they are all respectable warriors.
While achieving brilliant results, Qianji Pavilion naturally lost many excellent spies. On that tower, more names have been added during this period than in the past few years for the country.
However, even so, there is still a lurking Qin State death spy in Dragon City. Several times, the Thousand Machine Pavilion spies almost caught their shadows, but in the end, they let the other party escape. There are enemy masters in Dragon City, and this discovery fills the hearts of everyone from top to bottom with a sense of urgency. It was precisely for this reason that after Chu Jiangmian left Dragon City, they tightened their protection of this royal city.
After the arrival of the Qin State Mission, of course, it will become the object of their key surveillance. Because according to the analysis, it is believed that if there are really important figures of the Qin State lurking in Dragon City, they will definitely find a way to contact the envoys. And tonight, the spies of the Thousand Machine Pavilion lurking in the shadows, after a long period of patience and waiting, finally discovered the traces of the enemy they had been hoping for.
The person in charge of leading the watch tonight is Kuro. This loyal man was wounded in the last battle outside the Zhaowu Gate. However, for the Thousand Machine Pavilion spies, who are already injured as a common occurrence, as long as the head is still there, other injuries are nothing.
Although the mountain ghosts are highly skilled, they come and go without a trace. But he took Feng to get sick, but it was inevitable that there was nowhere to hide. After discovering his traces, Jiulang suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and immediately mobilized a large number of elite spies of the Thousand Machine Pavilion. They quietly watched the movements of the Qin people in the dark, and when they grasped all the situation, they were ready to capture them in one fell swoop.
However, after all, the mountain ghost general is not comparable to others. Before he returned to enter the mansion where they were hiding, he sensed the dangerous smell around him. So, he drew his sword, and a bloody battle began.
Mountain ghosts have never been afraid of battle. Even when the royal city of the enemy country was besieged, he dared to fight to the death and fight to the end. It's just that today the situation is a little different. He himself could be fearless, but he didn't know that Nie Wushuang's whereabouts had been exposed, but he had to take care of it.
Therefore, when a large number of Qianji Pavilion spies came from the darkness, he did not dare to fight, but wanted to desperately rush out of the encirclement, to warn Nie Wushuang and Jiang Song in the mansion in front of him, and then rush out together.
The mountain ghost general is indeed very powerful. However, he didn't know what kind of careful preparations Qianji Pavilion had made in order to capture them.
The knife is splashed with blood, and the night is fighting. In the blink of an eye, the Thousand Machine Pavilion spies who rushed up desperately were killed and injured several times. At the end of the long street, the mountain ghost was about to turn over and leave, but he heard someone shouting in a low voice. Then a thin sound was heard in my ears, piercing the air, and the murderous machine was awe-inspiring.
The mountain ghost was taken aback, and although he couldn't see clearly between the flames and the light went out, he also sensed the danger at the first moment. Hurriedly raised his breath in his chest, the sword light flickered, and he fought in all directions at night, blocking the feathered arrows that came from him. However, what he didn't expect was that the Thousand Machine Pavilion spies were not equipped with ordinary bows and arrows, but the latest crossbow arrows made by the Dragon City Smelter.
According to the drawings provided by Chu Jiangmian, the smelters of Zhao State made a total of three specifications of crossbow arrows. The long crossbow was equipped in the cavalry army, and this kind of short crossbow that was easy to carry had begun to be used by the spies of the Thousand Machine Pavilion, although the number was not large, but it gave them wings. Tonight, in order to capture the powerful enemy lurking, they used these crossbow arrows.
The three crossbow machines were fired together, and more than ten crossbow arrows came at the same time, even if the mountain ghost tried his best to dance the sword light, it was difficult to escape the doom. Two crossbow arrows pierced his arm, and in excruciating pain, he screamed, and with a desperate breath, smashed through the courtyard wall next to him, and rolled away in the smoke and dust.
Seeing the prey in his hand, of course, he couldn't let him escape, so Jiurou gave an order and chased after him. And all the other spies who were ambushed in the vicinity also showed up and began to close the net.
At that time, it was just the second watch, and Nie Wushuang and Jiang Song discussed in detail how to go out of the city tomorrow to meet the masters from the Qin State, so that they could go to the Nine Elements Mountain with them and kill Chu Jiangmian. I was wondering why the mountain ghost hadn't come back, but suddenly I saw a black shadow flash, and someone fell from the wall.
"Young master! The big thing is not good, the enemy is coming, let's go quickly! ”
Nie Wushuang and Jiang Song were taken aback at the same time, and their faces changed at that time. I could see it clearly under the lights, and I saw that the mountain ghost was covered in blood, and he rushed over with a knife in one hand, his expression full of panic and anxiety.
"What's going on? How ...... injury? ”
Nie Wushuang drew his sword in his hand and asked urgently. The mountain ghost didn't have time to explain more, he just urged repeatedly.
"It's already surrounded! Young master, let's kill it quickly! ”
Before the words fell, the closed courtyard door had already been split open with a knife, and the people with the ring of knives rushed in. And the exits of the surrounding courtyard walls have all been blocked. Someone snapped.
"All lay down their weapons, and they are captured, and there is still a way to live. Otherwise, shoot and kill! ”
The situation is already clear and there is no need to ask any more questions. Whatever the reason, this courtyard is surrounded by Thousand Machine Pavilion spies, and they have all become turtles in the urn. Nie Wushuang laughed coldly. Unexpectedly, Zhao Guoren still had some skills, and they found out their whereabouts in such a short period of time. However, it is a joke to want him to lay down his arms. In this world, nothing and no one can make him surrender!
A long roar came from the mouth of the mountain ghost, and at this point, perhaps only by fighting to the death could he earn a glimmer of life. The man, who also had two crossbow arrows stuck in his shoulder, took the lead in swinging his sword and began to rush out.
"Young master, I will open the way before my head...... Then you will come! ”
Seeing that the mountain ghost had already matched the blade of the person who rushed over, Jiang Song also drew his sword and began to fight. He was injured and had some difficulty moving, but he couldn't care about it at the moment. He and the mountain ghost both have the same thoughts, if they can't escape after all, even if they fight for their lives, they have to let the young master get out.
The first time Jiu Lang rushed in, he saw Nie Wushuang. Although he didn't know this young master of the Qin Kingdom, just looking at the noble temperament exuded by the other party, he immediately realized that this was likely to be a big person. Seeing that the other party was going to stubbornly resist, he shouted the order loudly, and there was no need to show mercy. Kill!
An unusually fierce battle took place in this small compound. The spies of the Thousand Machines Pavilion firmly blocked all the retreats, allowing the three surrounded people to rush left and right, but they couldn't rush out.
On the pillars of the courtyard, on the walls of the courtyard, on the stone steps...... There was blood splattering everywhere. This blood is not only from the spies of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, but also from the Qin State. The hunter and the hunted are all fighting to the death at this moment.
Nie Wushuang also suffered several injuries on his body. Although the wound was shallow, it had already stained his clothes red. In a short period of time, five or six Zhao State spies were killed and wounded under his sword. This young master of the Qin Kingdom, who was personally taught by Shen Jizi, once he showed his true strength, was already enough to rank among the world's first-class masters.
In the fierce fight, Jiulang took a step back and wiped the blood from his palm. He was wounded in the arm, blood was running down his hand, and his hand holding the knife was slippery. These three guys are really amazing! Dozens of elite Thousand Machine Pavilion spies can't take them over for so long. Looking at the injured man who fell to the ground, his eyes were going to red.
"With crossbow arrows! Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. ”
As soon as he gave the order, someone began to shoot arrows. Sure enough, in order to protect himself, the other party had to retreat again and again, and between dodging and parrying, he was soon forced into a corner.
"Young master! We've got you covered, so let's go! It's too late. ”
The mountain ghost, who had already learned the power of crossbow arrows, shouted loudly. And Jiang Song had already been hit by two arrows in his legs, and looking at the blade that continued to attack, he had a hunch that he might not be able to escape today.
"Young master, go quickly, big things are important! Leave us alone. ”
Nie Wushuang let out a long sigh and used his sword to knock away two crossbow arrows that were shooting at him. He knew very well that it was impossible for the three of them to rush out together. He has always made quick decisions, and in this case, of course, he knows what is the best choice. Taking advantage of the opportunity for these two people to desperately resist, his body rushed out with oblique stabs, jumped up to the high wall, and the people who rushed over to block him were slashed down by him with a sword, and the swords intersected, and the spies of the Thousand Machine Pavilion who were blocking in this direction fell to the ground one after another. Then a few more ups and downs, and then it disappeared into the darkness.
Someone roared and chased away. Jiulang jumped up and cut off Jiang Song's head with a single sword. Then, the mountain ghost was also seriously injured under the chaotic knife and was captured alive.
