(Chapter 39) Lonely Snow Still Falls in Tuzhou City (22)
The first to rush in front of me was a rugged man with an axe in his hand, as the saying goes, "The snow is not cold, but the snow is cold." On such a cold day, the big guy was bare-chested, with messy hair and two heavyweight axes swinging like a joke, without any effort.
He was very fast, but he was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of me.
I only felt a flower in front of my eyes, and the consciousness of my whole body disappeared for a while, and when I came back to my senses, my whole right hand was numb, and I could barely grasp the sword in my hand.
"Are you from Gu Yuancheng?"
With just one blow, I immediately judged the position of the person who came.
To put it bluntly, these mountain bandits and rogues who have been assembled in the past three or five months are just some young people, and they can't be on the stage at all, although I don't rule out that there are individual experts, but the force value can reach the level of the person in front of them, and it will never be a person in the rebel army.
The big man's eyes flashed with surprise, and there was also a flash of expectation.
He slashed at me with another axe, I couldn't dodge, and my right hand was still paralyzed, so in a hurry, I simply changed my sword and took it with my left hand.
"My master said that a person like Shen Xiang, you will be able to see through my identity at a glance, I didn't believe it, but now it seems that the master is the master, and he can see through many things that I can't see through." Xuanwu looked at me deeply, but the words he said brought out a bit of playfulness.
Although my left hand also lost consciousness for a short time under his attack, I couldn't help but have a strange thought in my mind - why did this girl look so disobedient, obviously a strong man with five big and three thick, and the words she said were full of the shadow of the fox embryo, both polite and cynical.
Sure enough, there will never be normal people around the weirdos.
I smiled modestly at him, but my eyes were fixed on his movements.
"Your master thinks too much of his true appearance, how can he afford it?"
Xuanwu doesn't like to be polite, and in this regard, he is still much worse than Gu Yuancheng.
"My master ordered me to get rid of you today, and I won't let you go just because you are injured today." He looked me up and down, as if looking for a place on me where he could kill me.
I squinted, and though I was surprised by his acuity, I sneered.
"But a mountain village man, how dare he speak out in front of his own minister?" Because I was entangled with Xuanwu, the others didn't know why they just surrounded us and didn't attack me, but because of this, there was a gap in the iron gate for a moment, and I immediately changed my words and ordered the soldiers outside the iron gate, "Attack!"
The soldiers had been paying attention to the situation here, and as soon as they heard my order, they quickly rushed into the iron gate.
"Now you can fight me with confidence." Xuanwu saw the soldiers rushing in, but his face did not show nervousness, but he had a feeling that he wanted to compete with me fairly.
I raised my eyebrows: "This appearance never shies away from any provocation. ”
As soon as the words fell, we said that we would fight, and the figures of the two of them immediately moved.
I first took a step back, unloading Xuanwu's strong strength, and then the tip of the sword fell to the ground a little, the whole person fell from above him to his back, although Xuanwu was fast, but his figure was there after all, when he turned back to me, his body slowed down for a moment, I seized the opportunity and stabbed him in the neck with a sword.
"Staring!" The metal clashed, and the piercing sound instantly landfell into the sky.
"Want to sneak up on me?" Xuanwu swung my sword disdainfully, "If you don't get hurt, you may still have a chance." In your current state, ha, you still think about how to save your life. ”
I was forced back three steps by Xuanwu's strength, barely holding my body with my sword.
Just now, my eyes suddenly darkened for a moment, and the sword momentum also stopped, Xuanwu just tilted his head back, and a plate axe stepped forward, taking advantage of the gap to separate my sword.
I know that I will not be able to grasp his Achilles' heel again in a short time.
But I'm not worried about losing my life today.
"I believe that Gu Yuancheng's subordinates are all smart people, and if you leave now, you can remember your subordinates just now and spare your life."
It's been a while since I came in, and the first and second teams are probably preparing to climb over the wall now.
Xuanwu frowned, he also knew the current situation in his heart, but if he left now, this Yuan County would be obediently sent to Shen Qingzhi.
I looked at him without speaking, and he looked at me, although his face did not change, but the exchange of eyes was not terrible.
"Swing, boom!"
There was a loud bang, and the stone wall connecting the iron gate collapsed, and the flying dust immediately obscured my vision.
Bad!
With a stirring in my heart, I quickly fell to the ground and rolled aside.
When the dust and smoke gradually dispersed, there was no Xuanwu in front of my eyes, except for the rain of arrows in the sky and the marks of the plate axe chopping that were deeply cracked in the ground.
"Protect your lordship!"
When the soldiers saw me lying on the ground, they immediately stood in formation and blocked the arrows in front of me with their shields.
I got up and touched the abrasions on my face with my sleeve slightly.
"Shhh I closed my eyes in pain.
"My lord...... "Although I am a little embarrassed now, but the situation in front of me is grim, the infantry officer still asked me about the next plan, "How do we attack it?" ”
I patted the dust on my body with my hands, but the muddy water had already made my clothes unshapely, and I flicked my sleeves a little negatively.
"Wait." I said to him, "Deputy Wei Zhao Li is coming." ”
When the army meets, the districts and counties are just ants.
Sure enough, not long after, the deputy guard came with a large number of men, and seeing that they were united with us, I immediately ordered "Attack!"
When the soldiers saw that reinforcements had arrived, their morale was high, and the momentum of breaking through the bamboo was unstoppable.
I rushed into the county office with all the soldiers, and when I saw Wu Yue holding a bow to shoot me, I flew and kicked the half-cut arrow at the side of my foot, and the broken arrow hit Wu Yue's hand with the bow, Wu Yue screamed, held the hand full of blood and ran out of the small door behind.
There were a lot of rebels in the county yali, and the soldiers were all entangled, I frowned, and chased Wu Yue directly with a long sword.
Although Wu Yue was injured, he was not slow to run, and because of his familiarity with the terrain, I almost let him run away several times, but fortunately he finally ran into a dead end.
"Shen Qingzhi, I have no grievances with you, do you have to put me to death?" Wu Yue was blocked in the alley, he knew that there was no way to escape, and he yelled at me like a trapped beast.
My face was calm, but a cold light flashed in my eyes.
"For the sake of your own status, you did not hesitate to kill Song Xiao, the real leader of the rebels, why should you give you a way to live for a despicable person like you?"
"She's in my way, she's in my way!" Wu Yue shouted frantically, but he suddenly quieted down again, and two lines of tears slowly flowed from his cloudy eyes, "She doesn't love me anymore, she was just obsessed with the feeling of someone to rely on from the beginning, she didn't like me at all......" Speaking of this, his eyes revealed a fierce and greedy light "Since that's the case, since that's the case...... Why can't I use her to pave the way for my future? Why can't you exchange her for glory and wealth! Gu Xiang said, as long as I can sit in the position of the leader of the rebel army, he will recommend me to Emperor Qi, and he will grant me the position of a great official! How could I possibly give up something that was about to be in my hands? There's no way I'm going to give up what I'm going to get my hands on!"
"You're crazy." Looking at his changing expression, I only said this one sentence.
Wu Yue seemed to be stabbed by something, his eyes widened and he looked at me, his dilated pupils were full of hatred and unwillingness.
"What qualifications does a pampered young master like you have to accuse me? Yes? You just relied on your own birth to sit on the position of prime minister so easily! Fifteen-year-old young prime minister, hahaha......" his eyes were sharp, he yelled, "Die!", and he pulled out the broken arrow inserted in his hand and rushed towards me.
With a frozen expression, I raised my hand and stabbed him in the heart with a sword.
The light in Wu Yue's eyes fell silent, and then it was annihilated like a spark.
Blood gushed out of his mouth, but there was a sad look on his face, and he seemed to be muttering to me and to himself, "From the time I learned that she was the lord of King Chen, I knew that I was no longer worthy of her......"
I pulled out the sword, Wu Yue slowly fell backwards, and the Su Juan on his chest flew out with the sword I pulled out, and fell down like a float and fell to his heart.
I looked at Wu Yue on the ground, and there was a sour look in my eyes.
It's not that he hasn't loved Song Xiao, he just doesn't have the confidence to love anymore.
Su Juan dyed red frost, Fang Pa sent lovesickness, but unfortunately, what was pinned on this was not the girl's longing for the boy, but the boy's obsession with the girl who fell in love at first sight.
There are many good moons in the world, but few people get the best results.
Suddenly a gaze fell on me from behind, and I turned my back.
On the tall pavilion, a hazy figure looms between the messy curtains. The handsome young man in white stood in the attic, and he looked at me quietly, without joy or sorrow.
He was holding a jade flute in his hand, and when he saw me turn to look at him, he smiled at me, and the sound of broken music flowed from the jade flute.
It seems to be mourning the dead, and it seems to be welcoming a new beginning.
Outside the alley, there was the sound of mourning and wailing, the people were displaced, they had lost their loved ones because of the war, they had lost hope of living in the future, they were fleeing for their lives, they were crying, like humble dust wanting to see the sun.
I looked at these poor people in a trance, and I also looked at him in a trance, and the sword in my hand suddenly fell to the ground with a "clang", and I came back to my senses suddenly.
When I looked at it again, there was no one on the high pavilion except for the flickering veil.
The deputy guard called to me from far and near, and I slowly walked out of the alley.
"Gu Yuancheng, next time, I will trample you under my feet."
