Chapter 24: The Legend of Jizi in Those Years

The spring breeze is mighty, and the earth is verdant. On the edge of the dense forest on the side of the slope of the Zhongyue Mountain Hunting Ground, a ruthless strangulation officially began. Taller up, someone was with a sword in his lap, staring coldly at the direction of the murderous machine.

Nie Wushuang, the prince of Western Qin, had heard a story told to him by his master Shenjizi, that is, the Qishan Ancestor, at a very early age. The name of the story is "The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada, and the Yellow Sparrow Follows".

And how could the disciples that Qishan Ancestor had cultivated so hard disappoint him? Plan before you act, plan carefully, and be foolproof. The prey that had escaped once in his hands, he would never allow himself to miss again.

"Young master, the armor of the Wei State is really powerful! Looking at their ability to cooperate and fight, 100 people act like one person, with clear goals and tacit understanding. Even if it is fighting independently on the battlefield of the conquest of all armies, it is an extremely lethal existence. It is really useless to deal with these Zhao people. I'm afraid we won't have a chance to make a move! ”

The mountain ghost general who followed him was very sharp-eyed. He was originally a fierce general on the battlefield, if he hadn't been ordered to become the general of the guards beside the King of Qin, I believe that his current reputation would not be inferior to the eight most famous generals of Western Qin.

Nie Wushuang didn't withdraw his gaze, he kept staring closely at the battle on the edge of the dense forest. After a moment, he shook his head and said.

"Don't jump to conclusions. Even if Chu Jiangmian didn't have much ability, the protectors around him were by no means simple. Don't forget, no matter how bad his reputation in the outside world is, he is still the son of King Zhao and the only son of Queen Jiang Xin! Legend has it that the mighty queen spoiled her son. If there is no absolute security guarantee, how can she rest assured that he will come to Zhongzhou? ”

"But...... Young master, the guard with two knives really looks powerful. However, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to escape this fate. ”

In the time between they spoke, the Wei warriors had already shot all the bows and arrows in their hands. Looking down from a high place above, looking at the large rain of arrows like flying locusts, the mountain ghost disapplievously put the knife in his hand on the ground, and he saw very clearly that the guards of the Zhao State who were desperately protecting the lord would inevitably be killed by the arrows and die a miserable death.

"Where's the hunchback coachman? Last time I wondered if there was something strange about him...... Hey! Really......! ”

When the mountain ghost heard Nie Wushuang's cold tone, he suddenly snorted in surprise. When he quickly turned his head to follow his gaze, his eyes suddenly widened, and the knife in his hand suddenly clenched.

The sun is shining and the mountains are green. Almost suddenly, the figure that appeared in front of everyone's eyes seemed to suddenly erect a mountain. The huge momentum was wrapped in grass clippings and gravel and stirred in the air, forming an invisible wall more than ten zhang high, and those feather arrows that shot rapidly seemed to hit the stone wall, and the strength disappeared and fell to the ground one after another.

It's a startling sight. Almost at the same time that Nie Wushuang drew his sword and Huo Ran got up, he could already clearly see that the hunchbacked old man who had resolved the crisis as soon as he made a move, stopped his figure when he turned around, and when he withdrew his arms, he shook the old robe at will, as if he muttered something in his mouth, and then put it on his body again.

"That's amazing! …… Young master, you expected it to be good, this old guy is really a tricky person. It seems that there will inevitably be a battle of life and death today. Ha ha! ”

In addition to being shocked, the mountain ghost not only did not feel afraid, but also had an inexplicable excitement. As soon as the connoisseur stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one! All the countries in the world have hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are very few legendary very powerful demon-level characters. They are all trump cards and reliance in the hands of princes and kings, and it is not an exaggeration to call them even the treasures of the country. These people are easily unrevealed. But I didn't expect to see it in this Zhongyue Mountain today. It seems that as expected, Chu Jiangmian is very important in the minds of King Zhao Chu Lie and the queen! They sent such a figure to protect him all the way. Outsiders only saw the hundreds of horses and thousands of rides around the other princes, but how could they compare to the power of a coachman in Chu Jiangmian!

"Needless to say! No matter what the price is paid today, this hunchbacked old man and Chu Jiangmian will be killed together in Zhongyue Mountain. Mountain Ghost General, take out all your skills and help the Wei soldiers fight! ”

"Obey the young master's order!"

Carrying a huge sword, the mountain ghost likes nothing more than to challenge the strong. His eyes began to turn blood-red, leading the dead soldiers of the Qin State who appeared in their form to frantically rush away. No matter how powerful the hunchbacked old man was, he had the confidence to defeat him.

Nie Wushuang, who had always been calm, was also a little excited. He once heard the ancestor of Qishan count the top masters in the world. In the hands of King Zhao Chulie, there are also several very powerful guys. It's just that this hunchbacked old man, he has never heard of it. I don't know where it came from. If you kill him today, you will definitely be greatly praised in front of the master when you go back.

Nie Wushuang thought about it in his heart for a while, and felt that the current situation had a great chance of winning. The combat capability of more than 100 armor soldiers of the Wei State should not be underestimated. And these people brought by the mountain ghosts are even more of the warriors of the Qin State who have been selected by thousands of people. If the two sides join forces, they can already carry out a small battle, and it is by no means a horseman's courage that can stop it. What's more, if the other party has to be distracted to take care of Chu Jiangmian and that girl, the force value will inevitably be affected. Hum! How could he let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

And on the edge of the dense forest of life and death, Zheng Qi, who had just gotten rid of the catastrophe, although he was a little shocked in his heart, he didn't bother to say a word of thanks to Lao Ji.

Lao Ji's identity, he only knew that he was an ordinary coachman, and he had never seen him in Jinxiang Palace before. This journey has been thousands of miles, and I just saw that he was addicted to alcohol, and he didn't have any other specialties. But he didn't expect that just now he suddenly made a move, floating from behind, just taking off the robe in his hand, his momentum skyrocketed, forming an invisible shield in front of them, several feet high, blocking the attack of all feather arrows. He had never heard of such a method.

"It's a pity that this robe still broke a few holes after all."

Lao Ji muttered casually, and Zheng Qi heard it very clearly. He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what he should say. Then, I saw the sword-wielding warriors slaughtering from all directions.

"Let's protect the prince first...... Please! ”

As a guard, Zheng Qi will never back down in the face of assassins. He only whispered these words to Lao Ji, and then with a double sword, he roared and killed him head-on. The warriors of the Zhao Kingdom, no matter on any battlefield, have never fallen facing the enemy, and their backs are only left to their comrades forever.

Lao Ji turned his head and glanced a few steps away. saw that Chu Jiangmian, who was temporarily safe, gestured to him. Lao Ji smiled faintly, he had long known that it was absolutely impossible for this son to escape by himself. In that case, let's move your muscles today. He didn't pay much attention to these more than 100 armor soldiers.

In the blink of an eye, Zheng Qi's double knives had collided with the long knives from the Wei Kingdom. The sword light overlapped, the blood splashed, and a desperate fight officially began.

Chu Jiangmian leaned against a big tree with his back and protected Jiang Xue'er's body with the sword in his hand, lest she be harmed. And the girl, whose face turned pale after being frightened, was obviously very nervous and scared. She leaned against her brother's chest, as if this was the safest place in the world. And the white little deer cub, held in her arms, seemed to feel the tremor of the little master's body, and it stretched out its tongue and licked the back of her hand, as if to comfort her.

"Brother Jiang Mian...... Who are they? Why are you killing us here? ”

"Don't be afraid! There's my brother here, it's fine. ”

Chu Jiangmian comforted the girl softly while frowning slightly. He looked up into the distance, his gaze narrowed, and it was the shadows of countless sword lights reflecting the light of the sun. Far and near, there is a boundless murderous aura!

The armor of the Wei State is really powerful. In the first round of fighting, the guards of Zhao Guo who rushed over suffered several injuries. Although they also suffered five or six casualties on this side, this did not affect the flood of offensive in the slightest. In daily training, such face-to-face fighting is Wei Wushu's strength. The attack, killing and defending of a row of twenty or thirty long knives cooperated very tacitly, which was equivalent to gathering the strength of so many people to cut it down with one sword. Even if an opponent is a powerful opponent, under such an attack, if he does not avoid his edge, he will either die or be injured.

However, instead of taking half a step back, the guard, who was covered in blood all over his body in the blink of an eye, picked up his double knives again and carried the mountain of knives composed of dozens of knives! The Wei warriors admired such brave men, but they preferred to kill such warriors. Perhaps, only the death method of chopping into meat sauce with a random knife can be worthy of the courage of the opponent.

Sword light and blood shadow, death is coming! However, it was not Zheng Qi who died immediately, but more than a dozen Wei soldiers who rushed to the front. The hunchbacked old man swept by, slashing their throats with a knife just as they could not do anything. Then stir up the sand and dust and fight against the wind.

Zheng Qi only had a knife left in his hand, he gasped heavily, looking at the back of the person who was killing with his own knife, and admired it in his heart. He couldn't hold out for two rounds in the face of the killing momentum of the Wei State armor warriors. And Lao Ji blocked their progress with a few knives. The dead and wounded fell one after another, and looking at this formation, I am afraid that it will not be long before these ambushers will retreat.

However, at this moment, Zheng Qi suddenly felt something abnormal. When he hurriedly looked up, he couldn't help but change color in shock. But I saw the wind whistling in the air overhead, and there was a momentum of fighting clouds and thunder and swooping down, and the two golden eagle eagles came to kill Lao Ji left and right.
