Chapter Seventy-Two: A River with Clear Water

"Kill!" Before the first knife, the sunset is lined with knife light, like the sky is colorful. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A burly body seemed to fall from the sky, the light of the sword flashed, blood splashed in the sky, and what made people tremble was that the knife actually split a person from the head to the body, in two.

The liver and intestines were dripping with blood, broken and diverted to the ground, the two bodies were cut open by the knife, but they were separated by a few meters, and the horn fell to the ground, half of the body was separated too quickly, the person's consciousness had not been peeled off, and the two bodies were still twitching, and it was chilling to see.

The people of Longtan Temple, who were fighting hard, and the officers and soldiers led by Wang Xun, although they had been fighting with each other, the officers and soldiers had the upper hand after all. However, this officer and soldier who had been killing several bandits in Longtan Temple in a row was suddenly cut open with a knife, which still stunned everyone.

Even if Wang Xun and Xiao Qilang face each other, the duel and battle just now are not as slaughtering as at this moment. Everyone gathered their personnel, and Xiao Qilang stood on the side of the Longtan Temple brothers who were less than 100 people, all of them were seriously injured and bloody. The soldiers who rushed to the front on Wang Xun's side were almost all embarrassed. The sudden impact made everyone seem to be suddenly sober, and they all looked over, only to see dozens of big men falling from the sky one after another, almost all of them were dressed in strange costumes, standing beside the god of war who was wielding a knife just now, and the people fighting next to him couldn't help but stop.

The leader was Yang Huai, and under the sunset, he stood there with a knife like a god.

On the left is the ordinary and inconspicuous Wang Lu, who gave Yang Huai a long weapon, Yang Huai was powerful, and he actually built a nine-foot halberd. Usually Yang Huai uses a horizontal knife, if he is playing against the battlefield, he uses the halberd in Wang Lu's hand, which weighs one hundred and eight pounds, and ordinary people can't carry it freely.

And on the right is the Shuzhong Tongjin Shiqi, who held his double swords and looked coldly at the officers and soldiers here, and his eyes seemed to be full of evil malice. Anyone who looks at him feels inexplicably cold.

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Yang Huai's blade emitted a colorful dazzling light, and a drop of blood slowly dripped from the blade.

Trumpet!

The sound of blood dripping was like thunder on this already silent battlefield, and it was like a drop of rain splashing on the calm water.

Everyone came to their senses and looked at the bloody battlefield. Thinking about the fierce fight just now, many people don't know how Fang Cai's time survived. The short stone steps of less than 200 meters, several round-trip rushes, and several desperate perseverances, everyone paid a heavy price.

This is actually a slaughterhouse, and a one-sided slaughter has just been carried out.

The bandits of Longtan Temple had high morale, but due to the problem of weapons and equipment, they suffered heavy losses against the enemy with officers and soldiers. Most of the fallen from the underground stone steps were bandits in shabby clothes and emaciated bodies. Where are they bandits, in fact, most of them are just ordinary people, who have been trained by Li Yuan for a period of time, and they hold all kinds of weapons to fight against the officers and soldiers.

There are also a lot of officers and soldiers who have fallen, and it seems that the tragic situation of these officers and soldiers is even better than that of Longtan Temple, because the main ones who shot on the side of Longtan Temple were Xiao Qilang and Li Yuan's brothers, and everyone showed no mercy when they faced the officers and soldiers, so they naturally killed them, so looking at the situation of the battlefield, none of the fallen officers and soldiers were still alive.

Looking at these stumps and broken arms, Li Yuan's tears couldn't stop flowing. These are the people who usually call them brothers, and they are all people who trust them in every way, but now they are unable to protect them, and they are watching them disappear before their eyes.

Li Yuan knew that Xiao Qilang wanted to protect these people, but his arms were invincible, and no matter how powerful a person was, it was impossible to cover everything in the face of this kind of melee battlefield. Everyone will understand this, but when they fall into a melee, everyone expects their safety to be protected, and they can't avoid this kind of scene, knowing one or two people, it is impossible to take into account everyone's safety.

These brothers of Longtan Temple knew that they were not the opponents of officers and soldiers, but no one took half a step back, because behind them was the gate of Longtan Temple. Behind that gate, there are the old and young women and children of Longtan Temple, all of whom are their relatives and friends. For the sake of their loved ones and friends, they would rather give their lives than take half a step back.

Li Yuan's body trembled involuntarily, and his whole body almost collapsed after the hard fight, but before his legs weakened, his body was already supported by a person. When he looked sideways, it was his second brother Luo Yin.

Luo Yan was obviously not feeling well, but he obviously came over late. When the two brothers looked at each other, they seemed to have the feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and their eyes were moist. Looking at Luo Yan's eyes, Li Yuan asked a little more.

Although Luo Yan didn't know the later battle situation, he believed in Mr. Sun and Sun Qingyi, looking at the tragic situation here and the eldest brother's inquiry. Luo Yan said hoarsely: "Big brother, don't worry, everything is under Mr. Sun's control, not to mention that it seems that the officers and soldiers over there in Fuling just now actually fought against each other together!" Luo Yan naturally didn't understand, Luo Yan was obviously very miserable, his right arm was cut by a knife about five inches long, and the blood was dripping and the flesh was rolled deep into the bones. But he didn't care at all, and held Li Yuan's hand tightly.

"Brother Li is at ease, Longtan Temple is safe at the moment!" Xiao Qilang looked at Yang Huai with a smile, it was a real relief, although there were only a few dozen people, but the officers and soldiers behind did not come, plus Xiao Qilang had long maintained operational contact with the organization, and vaguely guessed that everything had gone according to plan.

When the two of them saw Yang Huai's arrival, Xiao Qilang was so calm, they knew that these people must be the helpers that Xiao Qilang said, and they couldn't help but feel a little excited, is it finally over?

Yang Huai's dismount made everyone stop one after another, and the two brothers Li Yuan couldn't help but look for the third brother Shi Jia, and saw that he was holding a half-cut machete, supporting an injured brother, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They all looked at Xiao Qilang together and saw that he was staring at Wang Xun closely.

Although he and Wang Xun were both defeated, he seemed to be even more miserable than Wang Xun from top to bottom. Not to mention the blood on his body, his robe was no less than ten wounds, of course, this was only the obvious wound he saw. In order to continue to intersperse rescues, the brothers around him who were cut down by officers and soldiers one by one, he was obviously suppressed to death by Wang Xun.

Xiao Qilang's skills are not bad, but for the safety of others, he was obviously hit hard enough by Wang Xun.

Wang Xun is a rare talent in the Hell Gate over the years, and he has been enduring in the Yuzhou Army for many years, and he initially hoped to return to the Hell Gate and get a good promotion in the Gate. But after experiencing the officialdom and the military camp trip, Wang Xun faintly changed his mind.

Because if he relied on his own efforts and the cultivation he learned at the Hell Gate, Wang Xun believed that he would be able to break through in this troubled world. Even if he can't return to serve in the sect, then he will be a disciple of the outer sect of the Hell Gate, and presumably the people in power in the sect will definitely agree with his decision when he sees his efforts and achievements.

The Hell Gate receives a group of disciples every year, and every three years it sends disciples into the world, and the people who are responsible are the outer disciples of the Hell Gate. These outer disciples are at all levels, responsible for the existence of the inner door, the negotiation, and the connection with the outside world. Although Zhou Yi's Styx Altar is said to be one of the main altars of the inner gate of the Hell Gate, it is also a branch altar that has more contact with the outside world.

Wang Xun naturally knew that the major elders of the Hell Gate had basically not been able to do so for decades, and even the sect master had not seen him for a long time. Therefore, many people in the door are ready to move, some people openly go to the world to interfere, and there are even people with various desires, using the resources in their hands to do all kinds of things they need and want outside.

is like Zhou Yi, otherwise he would not dare to openly install his son in Yuzhou. Wang Yi has been with him since this week, and he has also transformed himself and recognized this society for several years. Wang Xun did not complain about Zhou Yi's arrangement for him, but now he is grateful for Zhou Yi's original decision, because Wang Xun seems to have seen the opportunity.

Since the founding of Shuzhong, there have been almost no major wars, and even if there are localities. Meng Chang's development of people's livelihood made Shuzhong indeed peaceful for many years, and also made many people forget about the war. Although it has been peaceful for twenty or thirty years, Wang Xun, who has seen the current situation, believes that this peace is only superficial.

The conquest of Longtan Temple will be the first step for him to take off, and he will be able to command the horse infantry army in Yuzhou and completely command the military horses of a state. For the Taoism of Yuzhou officialdom, Wang Xun has already figured out the mystery. If you want to fly high branches, it is useless to stay in Yuzhou. Wang Xuntuo is in the capital city of Jinguancheng, and has already contacted reliable people, which will be his starting point.

Of course, if you can conquer Longtan Temple, another reason is that you can temporarily appease the angry Zhou Yi, and then you can communicate with the Hell Gate. Wang Xun didn't believe that such a small place would hinder his way forward. Of course, there is another reason for swallowing the soft persimmon of Longtan Temple, that is, he can suddenly rise in the military and attract the attention of the bigwigs in Jinguan City, so that the person who can help him has heavier chips at a critical time. Wang Xun has been planning for this matter for a long time and looking forward to it for a long time.

Wang Xun was still a little sure of the fierce fighting and killing here, and he strictly ordered the officers and soldiers to obey orders and never allow mercy to be soft-hearted. He wanted to make an example, not to mention that he also believed in Zhou Yi's ability. As one of the only few altar masters in the Hell Gate, and one of the current elders of the Hell Gate, Wang Xun knew that there would not be many people in the rivers and lakes now, and they would be Zhou Yi's opponents.

Even now when he saw Yang Huai who suddenly appeared, he was only slightly stunned, and immediately waved his hand, and the remaining soldiers behind him faintly surrounded everyone and slowly wanted to surround them.

Yang Huai waved his hand, and more than forty brothers behind him aimed their crossbows at Wang Xun. Seeing these dozens of crossbows facing Wang Xun, there were still some archers on the side of Rao is officers and soldiers, but everyone didn't dare to act rashly.

The archers in Yuzhou were originally limited, not to mention that in order to drag the sight of Longtan Temple, on the other side of the back wall, among the officers and soldiers led by He Da, there would be a little more archers. At this time, dozens of people in Yang Huai controlled the scene.

"Brothers and soldiers, please look at the corpses on this stone step, they used to be your comrades-in-arms and brothers, and there are also the people of this Longtan Temple!" Yang Huai stared at Wang Xun coldly, and his identity could be seen at a glance. Regardless of Wang Xun's face, he continued: "Everyone has brothers and parents, and everyone has family and friends, but at this moment, they abandon everyone and leave!" Do you know why this is happening? ”

Yang Huai was full of real energy, standing on a stone on the side of the stone steps, which was particularly conspicuous: "Who is willing to fight, who is willing to fight!" No one wants to, look at your commander, ask him, who are you fighting for, why did you come to kill these innocent people, why did you let your comrades-in-arms leave your lives here? ”

Wang Xun watched Yang Huai's continuous inducement and agitation, and vaguely guessed what Yang Huai wanted to do, but he still knew a lot about the team around him, not to mention that several generals around him were soldiers who had been trained and close to him, and he was about to speak, but he saw Xiao Qilang walking towards Yang Huai.

"Brothers, we have to survive, everyone's family has to live, the officials and men who live in Yuzhou have fine clothes and food every day, but they can't see the suffering of the people here, and the helplessness of the people elsewhere, they will only know what they need and what they want to enjoy. Everyone knows how many ordinary people were forced to die by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and how many people starved to death in Shuzhong! Jin Shiqi immediately stood up and reminisced bittersweetly, strengthening the mentality of the officers and soldiers who had already acquiesced. His authentic Shuzhong dialect undoubtedly greatly stimulated the visual nerves of the officers and men in an instant.

"A group of people who bewitch the public!" Wang Xun waved the flagpole that had no more pieces of cloth and roared towards this side, but when he looked back, he was surprised that the officers and soldiers behind him were really talking. He looked back to find someone, but when they saw that everyone had turned around, they all shut their mouths.

"Look at it, look at it, your leader is already annoyed and angry when he talks to the point, no matter how he looks at no one and deceives himself, in front of so many people, but he can't say a reason to everyone!" The sharp-toothed Jin Shiqi immediately said: "In order to get promoted and make a fortune for himself, he deceived everyone, and didn't care about everyone's life or death, and let you come to give your life and be the executioner!" And most importantly, who are you going to kill? It's almost unarmed ordinary people! ”

"Nonsense!" Although Wang Xun was shrewd, he was pointed at by dozens of crossbows, although he wanted to distinguish them, he was always half a beat slower, and his expression was excited, which naturally made people even more suspicious.

"Is there nonsense in a certain family! All of you should ask your general now, see if he dares to answer you, whether he is for his own promotion, saying that he led you to make meritorious contributions, saying that these bandits in Longtan Temple are not worth mentioning, you have also seen it, but they can't beat you, because they are simply a bunch of ordinary people. And he asked you to slaughter a bunch of civilians, and then go back and take the credit yourself! Jin Shiqi quickly interjected, and it was really spittle.

He didn't care about Wang Xun's eyes on fire, standing in front of Yang Huai's right, pointing at Wang Xun is nonsense: "Anyone with a conscience and conscience would never do such a cruel thing!" Brother Li, who led these people in Longtan Temple, was in the Shuzhong military camp like everyone that day, but he couldn't stand the oppression of his superiors and pity the pain of the people, so he called on and led a group of ordinary people to live in the area of Longtan Temple, and escaped the exploitation of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but he was slaughtered by your generals as bandits, you bear it, are you willing! ”

"Brother! ,,Dad,,, second uncle,,,! Suddenly, there was a wail on the side, but it was someone from Longtan Temple, who watched his relatives fall beside him, and when he heard Jin Shiqi's bewitchment, he couldn't help crying anymore. They were originally ordinary people, and with the encouragement of Li Yuan and Xiao Qilang later, they became tenacious.

"I don't want to!" Hearing the wail here, suddenly a crisp voice came out of the officers and soldiers, everyone was startled, and when they looked over, it was indeed a Shu army commander wearing clothes and armor, and he was not yet the crown.

Wang Xun couldn't wait to split this soldier, staring at him viciously, who knew what made his heart beat even more, and then a few more people made a voice saying they didn't want to. Although the sound felt sparse, it seemed to cause a lot of movement among the officers and men, after all, these officers and soldiers had seen each other and had a conscience.

"Look, you tell the truth, your generals want to kill people!" Jin Shiqi looked at Wang Xun's shocked gaze, and seemed to guess what Wang Xun was thinking, so he shouted out again.

A few tooth generals around Wang Xun who originally wanted to kill chickens and monkeys immediately stopped and looked at Wang Xun with an embarrassed expression.

"Good work Shichiro!" Yang Huai looked at Wang Xun, who was about to devour people, and said to Xiao Qilang with a smile: "Let you suffer, a certain family and soldiers are late!" ”

"That's right! General Yang, rain in time! Although Longtan Temple suffered heavy losses, the brothers paid willingly, and Qilang finally lived up to the trust and led the brothers to keep this base! Xiao Qilang was extremely relaxed at the moment, and when he looked at Luo Yi together, his eyes were actually a little moist.

Li Yuan took Luo Yan and walked over slowly, Xiao Qilang shot like electricity, and clicked near the wound on Luo Yin's arm, and immediately stopped the bleeding of the wound. came over to explain to Yang Huai in a low voice, and when the two of them heard that Yang Huai was the person Xiao Qilang said, they couldn't help but be excited and look forward to it.

Xiao Qilang glanced at Luo Yan, and hurriedly said to Yang Huai: "The officers and soldiers who originally attacked Longtan Temple in the rear have already controlled the officers and soldiers of Fuling under the leadership of the comrades in Fuling. Mr. Sun contacted them, with Mr. Sun's call, there must be no problem, and the general will preside over the overall situation here! ”

"It doesn't matter! The delay of the officers and soldiers here will inevitably make the comrades in Yuzhou go smoothly, and our task is to contain this army of officers and soldiers in Yuzhou, presumably at this time, Yuzhou City is also under our control! Yang Huai said with a happy face: "To establish the Yuzhou base and develop the Yuzhou area, Qilang should be the first hero!" ”

"Someone's coming!" Seeing a group of officers and soldiers coming quickly from the mountains by the Qingxi on the side, some officers and soldiers on this side immediately shouted, led by Liu Biao, who had just been sent by Wang Xun, and Lin Qingdong, the lieutenant of Fuling County.

Wang Xun had the last glimmer of hope in his heart, but before Liu Biao could lead people over, he saw a person actually passing by the gate of Longtan Temple, and his feet landed lightly on the stone by the stone steps, and this person was Mr. Sun Sun Qingyi. Although his arms are bare, even the blood marks on his arms have not disappeared.

What is shocking is that he is actually carrying two heads in his hands, his eyes are wide open, it is Zhou Yi and Meng Lu, and the blood is still dry! Looking at the hideous head, everyone was stunned!

Wang Xun's last glimmer of hope was shattered, he felt a chill in his heart, and a stream of blood almost spurted out of his chest.

Speechless, only to see the sunset dyeing the sky red, the colorful sky flashing colorful beauty!
