Chapter 49: Cutting off the Luohe ghosts
The Luo River is a large river that flows through Zhongzhou. During the rainy season, when the river is abundant, the river often overflows, harming the people on both sides. Within a hundred miles of Los Angeles, Jinsha Ferry is the only shallow place. Therefore, it has also become an important channel for communication between the two sides of the strait.
But now, the few ferries that were there were were all destroyed. Although the river is shallow and narrow, it is the Luo River after all, and it is difficult to get there.
And Nangong And, the culprit who caused all this, was laughing proudly with the support of his last breath. Since he can't kill Chu Jiangmian and create some trouble for him, it can also bring some comfort before death.
He won't be able to laugh anymore, though. Because someone didn't want him to die with pride.
Nangong watched as the carriage sped up and headed directly in the direction of the ferry. His head was a little sluggish due to excessive bleeding. But I immediately realized that something was wrong!
"What do they want to do, plunge themselves into the river and die?!"
As soon as this thought was turned, in his gradually widening eyes, he saw a miracle happen. The speeding carriage rushed to the river, and without even meaning to stop, in the crisp sound of the whip, it really jumped into the river!
The scene that followed was even more incredible. In the midst of the flames that burned in the reeds, the man who was barely breathing could see that the river had suddenly cracked a passage in the middle. It was as if some great force had forcibly broken the Luo River in the middle, and the river flowed straight forward, and the carriage sped between the two walls of water until it reached the opposite bank!
Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then there was the sound of a huge wave crashing in the water, which thundered in my ears. The land on both sides of the river shook, and Nangong felt that his heart was shattered all of a sudden, his eyes gradually blurred, and the figure on the other side finally disappeared. An overwhelming darkness swept over everything. Before being swallowed up by darkness, the last thought left on his mind in this world was: "This must be an illusion, it turns out that the experience of people before death can be so terrible......!"
The sound of the huge water waves crashing not only made the soul of the prince of Wei scatter, but also returned to the underworld. And it also alarmed countless fish swimming in the water and birds flying on the shore. The water, still stirred by the aftermath, was boiling like a pot, and some big fish jumped out of the water. At the same time, a large number of birds that had been sleeping overnight on the banks of the river rose to the sky, circling and chirping in panic in the night sky, and did not dare to fall for a long time.
"It's ...... What means?! There are such people in the world. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes tonight, I wouldn't have thought about it! ”
After a long time, the two sides of Jinsha Ferry finally returned to calm. Those who lurked in the darkness and didn't even dare to move all the time recovered from the shock. Wang Jia, the leader of the "Blood Shadow" who rushed here from Los Angeles on the orders of the king, sighed secretly. There was a hint of horror in his tone.
"It's amazing! I didn't expect Prince Zhao to have such a person around him to protect ...... Thanks to the caution before the unification lead! Otherwise, if we really rush out, I am afraid that the consequences will be the same as those Wei State armor soldiers, and the death will be miserable! ”
Someone whispered beside him, full of surprise and fear. Although all of them were warriors loyal to the Son of Heaven, after receiving the order, they had already put life and death on the line. However, in the face of the great power that he had just seen, no one could continue to maintain that courage.
"Commander, did that man really split the river with his sword just now? …… This is too mysterious! Could there be other possibilities? ”
After all, some people still don't believe what they see with their own eyes. This is beyond what they have always known. How could a mortal have such an ability? Unless it's not human, it's a legendary god with boundless power!
Hearing someone's questioning, the tall Wang Jia shook his head with a wry smile. His martial arts cultivation is extremely high, and he can see it most clearly just now. It was precisely because of this that he felt the deepest horror.
"Don't doubt it. A sword opens the river and passes calmly. Chu Jiangmian's coachman is definitely the top master in the world! With such a figure by his side, no one can stop his way north. ”
"So what do we do now...... Do you want to go back to your life like this? ”
"If not, is there any other way? Okay, let's go over and see what's going on by the river. It's good to have a detailed explanation when you go back. ”
After Wang Jia finished speaking, he made a gesture and got up and walked out. All the other lurkers finally appeared. They began to look at the battlefield separately.
The people of Wei died very miserably, and there was no possibility of anyone alive. Especially the Prince of Wei, Nangong And, looked particularly miserable. After carefully examining the wounds on his body, Wang Jia couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
Not long ago, in the fight between Chu Jiangmian and Nangong He, he hid in the dark, and his eyes saw clearly from beginning to end without blinking. Originally, he thought that if it weren't for Chu Jiangmian's surprise attack with crossbow arrows at the end, he should not be Nangong He's opponent. Even if you can hold on for a while, sooner or later you will be killed by the other party.
But when he finished examining the wound, he suddenly realized. It turned out that things were not as simple as they seemed to him. Although both sides were injured in a moment of fierce fighting, Nangong Ji's wounds were all at the critical point. And these wounds are very wide, and I don't know what the other party used to cause them. The most direct consequence of this is that it will accelerate the blood flow of the injured person, and the wound will not be able to stop bleeding and bandage. It won't take long. He will die of running out of blood. So, it seems that both of them are hurting each other. But these fatal wounds caused by Chu Jiangmian's desperate injuries to the other party can really be fatal! Even if there was no long crossbow through his chest in the end, it would be difficult for Nangong to survive.
"Prince Zhao is not only stoic, but also scheming...... This person should not be underestimated! When you go back, you must tell the Lord all these details in detail, so that he can know them in his heart. ”
Wang Jia was loyal to the Zhou royal family. As one of the leaders in charge of the Blood Shadow, he doesn't want the royal family to re-establish a formidable enemy. While secretly glad that he had not made a big mistake because of his prudence, he remembered everything he had checked and saw in his heart, and prepared to return to Los Angeles in detail.
Half an hour later, everyone had finished exploring. When they came back together, nothing new was discovered. They really wanted to find the kind of extremely powerful long crossbow just now. But by the light of the fire they searched all the places, but found nothing. It should have been taken away by Zhao Guoren.
In this case, this place should not be left for long, and there is nothing to see in the dead everywhere. Wang Jia looked at the other side of the river, and the shadow of the group was long gone. Then he summoned and led his men back into the darkness.
The water of the Luo River still flowed calmly, the fire had not yet been extinguished, and the burning reeds crackled. Soon, some other dark shadows came running from a distance and appeared on the side of the ferry. They were the Wei armor soldiers, and the people who came after him with the Shen father.
I don't know why, Father Shen was terrified all the way, and an ominous premonition made him feel anxious and scared, afraid that something would happen.
This is the way things are in the world, what you are afraid of is biased. Hearing the exclamation of the armor soldier who arrived first, the heart of Shen's father suddenly sank. He didn't care about the dexterity of his legs and feet, and when he ran from behind like crazy to look, he could see clearly in the firelight, the wreckage was in disarray, and there were corpses everywhere. It was the armor soldiers of the Great Wei Kingdom who died!
"Prince...... It's the prince! He's here! ”
Someone finally found Nangong and shouted in surprise. Father Shen desperately separated a few armor soldiers, and when he saw the bloody corpse half-lying on the sand mound, he couldn't help but sit on the ground with a broken heart. What he feared finally happened, and everything was irreparable.
"Chu Jiangmian! It was Zhao Guoren who killed him! This enmity is not shared...... Da Wei and Zhao have been inseparable from now on, and they will never die! ”
Father Shen, who was in tears, hugged Nangong He's body, saw his miserable appearance with bruises all over his body, gritted his teeth, and the anger in his chest had nowhere to vent. All the other armorers also fell on their knees by the river, struck the ground with their swords, and raised their heads to the sky and shouted.
"Revenge! Avenge the Prince! Swear to kill Zhao Ren......! ”
It's just a pity that the river is empty, and the slightest shadow of the people of Zhao has long been nowhere to be found. And their roars can no longer be heard by those who cross the river.
The carriage galloped through the night, heading north without stopping. The two horses that followed closely behind, the mood of the boy and the thief were equally agitated. If it weren't for the hurry, they would have liked to stop and take a serious look at the sword, and then at the hunchbacked coachman.
And in the carriage, since crossing the river, Chu Jiangmian's expression was a little strange. His silent gaze remained fixed on the unknown night, neither asking anything nor showing any particular shock on his face. No one knew what he was thinking. After a long time, he finally withdrew his gaze, looked at the figure of the driver, and smiled faintly.
"Huh...... What should I say? Lao Ji, I want to ask, how can I practice my sword to the same level as you? ”
"If the little prince wants to practice swords, it's not easy? I see that you have clear bones and slender limbs, and you are a genius in martial arts! The masters in the Jinxiang Palace are like clouds, and most of them are geniuses. As long as you practice hard for three years and five years, you will definitely be a peerless master! ”
Lao Ji looked serious and said something serious. Chu Jiangmian pursed his lips, how could this set of rhetoric sound so familiar, could it be that it started from Lao Ji's mouth?
"What I'm going to learn is your ability to open rivers with a sword. What do you think? Make an offer! ”
"Is the little prince serious? A jug of wine...... Hey! ”
