Volume 3: Fighting wits and courage to stick to the fat city, check the spy network and find out the assassin Xin Chapter 22 Drinking Rainbow

Lin Yu followed Long Xuanchen's eaves to walk the wall and pass through the Zhao army camp. Then the two of them marched together and ran wildly on the fertile fields of Zhao State.

The dark night is the best cover. There were no stars or moon shadows, only the whining of the wind in the wilderness, which rustled through the grass and dead leaves.

Long Xuanchen performed light skills, almost without touching the ground. Lin Yu's figure was as light as a floating feather, and he was attached to Long Xuanchen's side like a shadow.

In a short time, they were already approaching the camp of the Qin army under black pressure. Various barricades were set up around the camp of the Qin soldiers, the bonfires were bright, and the defense was very strict.

Lin Yu instructed Long Xuanchen to temporarily hide in a small hill in the oblique thorn and wait for a while. He rushed straight to the Qin camp alone.

The shadowless dreamer cannot be discovered. Without much effort, Lin Yu found a quiet small tent not far from the general's main tent.

There was no one outside the tent.

He stood in front of the tent and listened quietly for a while, without making any sound, and was just about to carefully open the curtain to take a peek, when suddenly a strong wind rushed towards him with a sword with a sheath through the gap in the curtain.

Lin Yu hurriedly dodged away, and saw the curtain lifted, and a calm face appeared in front of him.

Gai Nie walked out slowly, looked around and saw that there was no one, but still said, "What person?" ”

Lin Yu stretched out his five fingers and shook them in front of Gai Nie, making sure that he couldn't actually see himself, but it was just the keen perception of the Great Sword Master.

Lin Yu took two steps back. Ganie took a slow step in his direction.

Lin Yu took three more sharp steps back. Gagnie took two more steps towards him.

Lin Yu could be sure that Gai Nie had discovered himself. He suddenly pulled out the soft sword 'Drinking Rainbow' from his belt and stabbed it straight at Gai Nie.

Gai Nie didn't take the sword, only put the scabbard across his chest, and asked a second time in the direction of Lin Yu: "Who is it?" ”

Lin Yu withdrew the flickering sword, picked up the sword and turned around and ran. Gai Nie immediately lifted his breath and quickened his pace to catch up.

When the captain of the patrol camp saw Gai Nie, he hurriedly saluted respectfully and asked, "Great Sword Master, it's so late......"

Ge Nie stretched out a hand to stop him from speaking, but his steps did not relax at all, and he continued to chase in the direction where Lin Yu had fled.

Another group of patrol soldiers in front also wanted to stop Ganie and ask what was going on. Ge Nie turned the scabbard in his hand sideways, and only spit out two words, "practice the sword".

The sergeants got out of the way one after another, and Gai Nie held the unsheathed "Yuanhong" in his hand, and chased out of the Qin camp in this way.

A sergeant had already reported the matter to Huan Qi and asked the general to catch up and protect the great sword master.

Huan Qi smiled and said, "My strongest great sword master in the Qin Kingdom still needs your protection?!" He shouldn't want others to see him practicing swords. Wait a stone's throw away, and do not come near. ”

The sergeants took the order, and when they saw that Gaynie had entered a hill not far away, they did not come any closer, but waited for their orders from a distance.

Gai Nie chased Lin Yu by feeling until he circled behind the hill before he could stand still.

Although the mountain is not large, it is tall and densely forested. The trees are waist-high grass and shrubs, and it seems that very few people have set foot on them.

Lin Yu ran into the dense forest and whistled. I saw a person jumping from a big tree, his robe sleeves flying, like a big black bird swooping down.

Gai Nie reined in his steps and vigilantly let out a qi to protect his body.

Long Xuanchen's figure jumping down from the tree, after a slight pause, immediately knelt on one knee and bowed: "Senior brother, it's me." ”

Gai Nie couldn't see surprise on his face, and asked, "Xuan Chen, aren't you a guerrilla general of Zhao State?" Late at night, I also ventured here. As he spoke, he reached out to help Long Xuanchen.

Long Xuanchen hurriedly jumped up by himself, and said happily: "Senior brother, I really didn't expect it!" I'm seeing you again! ”

Although there was no smile on Ge Nie's face, the aura around him suddenly lost the murderous aura just now, and became kind and relaxed.

He glanced Long Xuanchen up and down a few times, but turned his head to the direction where Lin Yu was standing, and asked, "Xuanchen, who is he?" ”

Lin Yu took out a piece of rune paper from his body and raised it into the air, and the rune paper floated in the wind, and began to burn little by little. In the light of the fire lit by the rune paper, Gai Nie clearly saw Lin Yu and the sword in his hand.

"Lin Yu has seen the Great Sword Master." Lin Yu said respectfully.

"I haven't seen you, but I know your sword, 'Rainbow Drinking'." Gai Nie said flatly.

"How do you know?" This time it was Lin Yu who was surprised.

"Come on," Gai Nie said coldly, "come out with your sword." Let me see if the person holding the 'Rainbow Drink' is a real swordsman. ”

Lin Yu didn't expect Gai Nie to compete with him for a sword. He glanced at Long Xuanchen, who was just about to raise an objection next to him, and then saluted and said, "When we meet for the first time, we should follow the mind of the Great Sword Master." So offended. ”

After speaking, Lin Yu gathered the dragon qi that he had just learned to condense into the middle dantian, rushed through the various acupoints, and poured the breath into the sword body.

I saw that the thin soft sword suddenly stood up, and in the impermeable dark forest, the unconcealable edge made the sword body tremble and hum.

Lin Yu stomped his feet lightly, made a preemptive move, and made the first move.

He leapt to his feet, turned sideways in the air, and handed his sword out. At the same time, he used the 'Reverse Kick Immortal' under his feet, and went straight to Gai Nie's lower road. And the strange sword body is like a green snake out of a hole, hovering inexplicably, but in the end, it is stabbing upward, pointing directly at Gai Nie's throat.

Lin Yu attacked up and down in two ways, exerting force at the same time, as fast as lightning, and arrived in front of Gai Nie in just an instant.

But Gagnie's body is faster.

He flashed to the left like a ghost, seemingly effortlessly dodging the sword.

Long Xuanchen next to him was shocked, and wanted to speak out to dissuade him, but he was afraid of distracting and hurting either party.

Without waiting for Long Xuanchen to react, Lin Yu's second move arrived faster.

This second sword slammed straight in front of Gai Nie, as fast as a wind, rushing towards his face.

At the same time, Lin Yu threw out three pieces of rune paper.

Illusion is born. Like brocade flying flowers, like falling snow, it instantly resembles a real picture, shrouded in a three-meter radius of Gai Nie's body, thin and thin, impermeable.

And the tip of Lin Yu's sword seemed to pierce out from the center of every floating flying flower, dotted with stars, flickering cold, and there was no way to avoid it.

Gai Nie waved the sheathed "Yuanhong" twice in front of his chest, as if to help, pushing his body to retreat in three steps in the air, and actually jumped out of the sword qi space of flying flowers and snow, and once again dodged Lin Yu's attack.

Lin Yu saw that the second move had not yet succeeded, so he retracted the momentum, bounced up in the air at the moment he landed, and jumped backwards, but the 'Drinking Rainbow' in his hand swept obliquely, came out of his hand, and slashed towards Gai Nie in the air.

This third sword move is actually a flying sword slashing in half. The sword body that flew out roared smartly, like a strong wind passing through, carrying the blades of grass branches that had been cut down by the sword qi, and thunderously pounced on Gai Nie.

Gai Nie did not understate this time like the previous two times, but seriously put the sheathed "Yuanhong" to his waist, and took advantage of the situation to remove the power of the flying sword.

The flying sword "dang long" made a crisp knock, and then bounced back.

Lin Yu stepped forward and grabbed the hilt of the sword, grabbed the soft sword back in his hand, and then took five steps back, calmly flicked the placket of his clothes, and stood on the spot without saying a word.

There was no wave in Ge Nie's voice: "Why don't you fight?" ”

"Master said that if you can't win within the three swords of 'Drinking Rainbow', you won't fight anymore." Lin Yu's answer was neither humble nor arrogant.

Ge Nie took a few steps forward and asked, "Did your master still say that this fourth trick is called 'no need'?" ”

Lin Yu was stunned, how could Gai Nie know that 'no need'.

In fact, after Lin Yu got the 'Drinking Rainbow' soft sword, he pestered the fat master several times to ask about the origin of this sword and how to learn some sword moves.

couldn't be pestered by him, so the fat master said that he would only teach him three tricks.

"The first trick is called 'Have'." The fat master explained matter-of-factly: "This move is suddenly attacked, and the enemy is definitely not prepared. I guess I can't hide from it. ”

"The name of this second trick is only one word, 'urgent'."

Master said that this trick was improved by her. With the rune paper, shouting "Hurry as a law" will give birth to an illusion, and with this move full of stars, the enemy will be difficult to parry.

"If this trick doesn't work," the fat master held his hair in a bun at that time, shook his fat arm and said, "Then use the third trick of lore." This trick is called 'too late'. I'll tell you, even the strongest enemy won't have time to dodge. You just have to do it, and there is nothing unsuccessful. ”

"And then the fourth trick ......"

Lin Yu was conflicted and asked, "Master, everything is successful, what is the use of the fourth move?" ”

"This dead boy," the fat master patiently explained, "you listen to me." If you can't do all three, you must use this fourth move.

It's called 'no need'. Do you understand? It means that you can't talk about it, and you can't talk about it. This trick is the most effective, teach you not to die. I must have memorized it. ”

Lin Yu waved away the serious fat face that floated in his heart when the fat master instructed him, and asked Gai Nie not very confidently: "How do you know that the fourth move is called 'no need'?"

Gai Nie didn't answer, waved his hand, called "Xuanchen", and a few flew and jumped, heading towards the middle of the mountain.

Long Xuanchen and Lin Yu hurriedly caught up. The rune paper that was still burning in the air was like a kite pulled by a thread, and it also floated towards the middle of the mountain.

The two caught up with Gai Nie and saw that there was a prominent stone platform in the middle of the mountain.

The three of them stopped on the stone platform, and when they looked up, they saw that the night sky that had been overcast had gradually cleared, and the stars were flickering.

Gai Nie sat cross-legged, and Long Xuanchen and Lin Yu sat next to him. The rune paper continued to hang above their heads, burning not far away.

Gai Nie said: "Tell me about your three tricks." ”

Lin Yu suddenly reported the names of these three moves with some embarrassment. Long Xuanchen couldn't help but snicker beside him, and was glared at by Lin Yu.

"What 'has', 'urgent' and 'too late'." Gai Nie's poker face, which had remained unchanged all year round, finally made Long Xuanchen catch a hint of a smile.

"'Drinking Hong' is my little sister's sword." Gagnie spoke patiently.

"The original name of this first move is not called 'have', it is called 'there is a phoenix'. Take the meaning of Fenglaiyi. The sword momentum is like a phoenix roaring for nine days, pitching and suppressing. ”

"The second trick is not called 'urgent'. Its name should be 'Rush Forest'. Take the meaning of a hundred birds into the forest. The sword is swift and swift, and the flowers are dazzling. However, the addition of illusions is indeed the handiwork of the little junior sister. ”

"This third trick is not 'too late'. Its original name was 'Come and Go'. It was a flying sword, and it could be turned back by slashing the enemy, and it was unstoppable. ”

Gai Nie was silent for a moment when he said this, and then said, "My little junior sister has never learned swords well. The master taught her, but she didn't memorize it carefully. Especially the fourth trick she invented herself, 'Don't use it'. The master has no way to take her trick. ”

Lin Yu hesitated and wanted to ask if your junior sister was fat, but he changed his words and said, "My master said that he has a lot of senior brothers. But the best thing with her is a senior brother named 'Unreal'. ”

"What 'unreal'?" Gagne asked, somewhat confused.

"My master said she likes to get you food the most. This 'unreal' senior brother, whatever he does to eat, he says it is delicious. Once, my master deliberately cooked without salt, but 'not really' my brother still said it was delicious. ”

"That's right." Gagnie didn't speak again. It wasn't until the silence around him was a little embarrassing that he added, "Her cooking is really delicious." Even without salt, it's still delicious. ”

Long Xuanchen and Lin Yuqi were speechless. The talisman paper that burned in the air finally burned out at this time.

"Well, tell me why you're coming to me." Gai Nie said to the two, although he couldn't see Lin Yu anymore, he knew that Lin Yu was still there.

It's the second half of the night, and the big tent of Zhao Ying's coach is still brightly lit.

There were only six people in front of Li Mu, namely the eldest son General Li Ji, the second son General Li Hong, Gongzi Jia, the veteran general Le Cheng and his student Zhao Cong, and the deputy general Ouyang Shang of Li Mu's army.

Seven people surrounded a dying charcoal fire, looking at the burning carbon ash in the fire, Li Ji said: "The Qin army has been scolding in the past two days, which is really hateful. The blood of the soldiers was scolded, and they couldn't wait to pounce on them and fight with them. ”

Li Hong also said next to him: "If you endure it any longer, I'm afraid the soldiers will ......."

Zhao Cong also answered and asked, "Yes, General, why don't we just give them a head-on blow?" ”

Li Mu raised his hand to stop his words. "Didn't you say it several times? How can you still mention it? Let the people of Qin scold whatever they want, and we have a lot of meat. Rushing into battle is fatal to the entire battle situation. ”

Ouyang Shang pulled the brazier with tongs, turned up a few pieces of coals that had not yet been extinguished, and added, "Forgot how we fought the Huns?" Wait for work with ease and stick to it. In the end, it was not us who was really anxious, but Qin Jun. ”

Li Mu was silent.

The old general Lecheng said: "They are running for a long time, the grain and grass supply line is very long, and they have to cross the Taihang Mountain. War and not last. What's more, they have won several big victories in a row, and their morale is high, and I am afraid that we will lose a quarter in morale alone. ”

Childe Jia sat on the right side of the general. Although he was sleepless in the middle of the night, he was not sad, he was still gentle and elegant, and said at this time: "For three consecutive days, the enemy only scolded the formation, but did not launch an attack. Could it be that they have another military strategy?

At this time, the entire northwest is blocked by them, and if the Qin army has a major military movement, we may not be able to respond in time. ”

"Oh, no." The old general Lecheng waved his hand: "Don't worry. The city defenses of all cities on the first line of Yi'an have been reinforced. This time, I led reinforcements from Handan, and at the same time sent additional troops to the cities along the way, which was to prevent the Qin army from raiding from other cities.

Our main force must bite the main force of the Qin army to death. As long as they are waiting for the opportunity to move, it is our chance to strike. ”

Li Mu glanced at the old general approvingly.

At this time, someone outside the door reported to Gongsun and asked to see him.

After a while, the radiant Gongsun walked in and reported to General Li Mu and Gongzijia and said, "I just received the information from the flying pigeon. Yi Zhi and Captain Li had already arrived at the ambush site with Liu Rong's troops. ”

"Great! You can strike at any time. Li Ji and Li Hong were all excited.

Li Mu leaned back. After thinking for a moment after the humble handsome case, he said, "No hurry. If the enemy does not move, I will not move. ”

It was a sleepless night for many people.

Fan Yuzhi stared with his eyes at a clay pot with broken flowers on the case.

This clay pot is delicate and lovely, and it is made of a secret firing method of five-colored clay. There was a small flame burning in the clay pot, swaying and jumping, reflecting Fan Yuzhi's ordinary face a little vividly.

He attached his hands to the brazier, rubbing them against each other. Recite the mantra in your mouth.

The dust in the clay pot is gradually rising. The ashes were pushed into the air by the flames. Then in the jumping fine ash, a faint sound came.

It was the voice of Huan Qi in the manager's tent.

He said to the right general Meng Chen: "We have twice the strength of the army, and we have twice the morale. How can it not be a complete victory. However, this time it was Li Mu who was facing him, and it shouldn't be a very good idea to fight head-on. ”

"Here," presumably Huan Qi tapped his fingers twice on the desk: "Fat City." Tomorrow you will quietly set out with your army to attack Fatty. ”

Before Meng Chen could comprehend the general's intentions, he asked in confusion, "Fat City is not a big city. ”

"No, no, no. It is a key city. If we take the fat, the road to Handan will be opened for us. You say, will Li Mu come to the rescue? ”

Huan Qi didn't seem to have the patience to wait for Meng Chen's answer, and continued: "If he comes to the rescue, we will let him come back without returning. If he doesn't come to the rescue, you and the former general vanguard Han Cheng and the right general Wang Ke can form a force of encirclement. Let's fight another battle of Changping. ”

Huan Qi's voice slowly blurred as the light of the fire in the clay pot dimmed.

Fan Yu dispersed the spell and sat quietly in the dim light of the fire for a while until the room fell into darkness.

I heard him say to himself, "Fat city." We can go and see it together. ”
