Chapter Thirty-Eight: Fighting in the Wild
If the fast sword is like thunder, it is like a meteor, and there are few matches in the twelve states of the clouds, who would have thought that this generation would accidentally break the Kun Gong knife in the tide of the sea, not to mention the loss of face, but also make the people of Ben Lei City ready to move, and the undercurrent is turbulent.
But everyone in the Twelve Prefectures of Youyun did not expect that the situation had changed so quickly, Ben Lei City was as stable as Mount Tai, and the Lian clan of Liuluan City was spurned by the entire Twelve Prefectures.
The rivers and lakes are sometimes far away, and the far ones are at the ends of the world; Sometimes it's very close, and the one who is close is between the ups and downs of the heart ape.
The sword and sword shadow are rivers and lakes, and the ghosts and ghosts of people's hearts are also rivers and lakes.
Lian Haichao took advantage of the cover of night to desperately escape from Liuluan City, covered in blood and fled in a hurry like a lost dog, naturally did not dare to take the official road, and chose sparsely populated places, the road twisted and turned, but the goal was to run to the west of the black water, as for whether it was safe to cross the black water, he had no way of knowing.
The bloodline of the Lian family can be said to have experienced the ups and downs of life, from the eldest young master of the Lian family who is the lord of a state to the lost dog who is terrified all day long, and it is only a few months.
For all those who have achieved success in the world, supernatural talent is only secondary, and perseverance is the first priority. If you don't experience the ups and downs of life and death, even Haichao is just a supernatural talent, but it is more likely that everyone will be confused.
Especially when the century-old wealth of the Lian family in Liuluan City disappeared, and it was rumored that even the old lady had already transferred, and now the treasure clues were only known to Lian Haichao, who had escaped, the entire Youyun Twelve States were boiling, and the whole people were manic, and they wanted to hunt him down in their dreams.
Murderous opportunities lurk in the world.
Even Haichao has been numb to killing all the way, has walked through the mud of this world, and has despaired of people's hearts. Everyone couldn't help but show greed in their eyes when they looked at him, and all kinds of methods came out one after another, and even when he was stabbed in the belly by a ten-year-old child, the hot blood splashed the child's face, but there was a laugh in his mouth, which made him creepy and forgot the pain for the time being.
Killing is the only response to everything.
The truth of this world has always had a threshold, too high, unwilling to walk in, too low, don't like to take it seriously. In the final analysis, it is still the bottom vein of the world that I look at from the bottom of my heart, but people can't get out of the living environment they depend on.
Lian Haichao's truth at this time is that he just wants to live, and living is the hope of everything.
Lian Haichao hadn't closed his eyes for three days and two nights, all with perseverance, and the turbulent black water was still faintly visible, but he fell into the most dangerous situation of the trip, he was entangled by a group of steppe horse bandits, and then two groups of people came, mixed with the swordsmen of Benlei City, who were arguing about how to distribute Lian Haichao at this time, and they all regarded him as a bag. Once upon a time, he was also like this, but now he can only be treated as a lamb to the slaughter.
Seeing that several groups of people couldn't talk about it, Lian Haichao was really humiliated, and he raised his anger and became angry, swinging a knife and slashing at the leg of the horse closest to him, and in an instant, people turned on their backs, and the scene was in turmoil. He took the opportunity to step on the head of the fallen horse and jumped into the air on the other horse, and the sword slashed through the throat of the bandit, and at the same time stomped on the stirrup and hit the horse's buttocks, and the horse was in pain, neighed, and rushed out.
Everything happened between the lightning and flint, and seeing that Lian Haichao, who was physically exhausted, actually broke out, and instantly broke away from the encirclement of everyone, and didn't care about quarreling, they all drove their horses to chase after him.
"Drive, drive" leather whip on the horse's buttocks, like an arrow from the string chasing Lian Haichao, "whoosh, whoosh" The sound of breaking the wind came from the back of his head, and a feather arrow shot at his left shoulder, so close that the force penetrated the shoulder armor bone, bringing up a large piece of blood, Lian Haichao's body lost its balance and fell heavily to the ground.
Falling from the galloping horse, he tore the wound in his abdomen again, and immediately the blood stained the bandaged gauze, and although the pain was unbearable, he still rolled on the spot, otherwise he would have been shot into a sieve by the arrows from behind.
This time, the enemies surrounding the rear did not quarrel any longer, and slowly approached him together, preparing to capture the first master of the youth of the twelve states first. Chasing all the way, his burst of energy has made everyone fully realize that Lian Haichao is not in vain, with a kun rinium knife repeatedly broke through the encirclement, so that countless outlaws died in Huangquan, I am afraid that if you fight alone, no one in the twelve states is its opponent. Especially the negligence of the three chasers just now, he almost escaped again, and he was really a ruthless stubble.
On the other hand, although Lian Haichao was injured, his long hair covered part of his face, and the blood and sweat were mixed together to glue his hair into a hand, revealing a resolute gaze from the gap in his hair, cold and fierce, at this time everyone knew that he was in the most ferocious and dangerous state of dying backlash, and no one wanted to step forward to touch the moldy head, and the loss of exchanging life for life outweighed the loss.
"Even Haichao, just tie your hands and go back with us, and your sons and nephews will still have a chance to live." At this time, the Ben Thunder swordsman was still loudly persuading him to surrender, but he was actually afraid of the Kun Gong knife in his heart.
"The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, I don't even have a bad breed in my family, I'd rather die standing than be born to you shameless villains, I should have killed you in Nangu Lou at the beginning." Lian Haichao spit out the blood in his mouth, gritted his teeth and responded, taking this opportunity to secretly breathe to restore his strength.
"The Lianjia family in Liuluan City has disappeared and become a joke in the rivers and lakes of the Twelve Prefectures, since you are such a miscellaneous person, send you on the road and restore the supreme glory of my Ben Thunder Sword." When the swordsman of Ben Lei City heard him mention the matter of Nan Gu Lou, his face suddenly became hot, and his heart was furious, and a harrier turned over and flew up from the horse and rushed straight at him.
If the Ben Thunder Sword is not the original Tuo Da, I don't know the sharpness of the Dalun Temple Kun Gong Knife, and it will definitely not be broken in a few rounds, once it is deployed, the fast sword is like thunder, and the offensive is like rain and endless, and it is not easy for the Kun Gong Sword to win in a short time.
At this time, I only saw the swords and swords in the field, the figures were confused, and the fight was inseparable. Lian Haichao complained bitterly in his heart, it seemed that the fight was wonderful, but the Ben Lei swordsman avoided the truth and made a void, obviously fighting to consume himself, a despicable and shameless villain, if he delayed for a while, I am afraid that he would be defeated and killed.
A thought flashed through his mind in an instant, he reached out and took out a book in his arms, shook his wrist and threw it into the distance, shouting: "The map of the treasure of the family is all in this book." ”
In an instant, the horse bandits and others who were surrounded outside the battle circle, the chasing soldiers of Youyun City, and others rushed to the book like arrows from the string, and the horse bandits who rushed to the front had just got their hands and had not looked through the inspection, and their heads were cut off, and the flying heads still revealed an arrogant smile on their faces, and their headless bodies fell under the horses and were trampled by everyone......
"You fools, arresting the felons Lian Haichao is the top priority, and Lian's treasure has no legs, can you still run away by yourself?" The swordsman was angry and shouted loudly, but he didn't dare to turn back.
People's hearts have never been able to resist bewitchment, and there are many people in the twelve states who want to kill Lian Haichao, but they have ghosts and hinder each other. The people who chased and killed Bailai abandoned Lian Haichao to chase the treasure books, trampled and pushed each other, the scene was chaotic, and two camps gradually formed a fighting melee between each other.
At this time, even Haichao took advantage of the distraction of the Thunder Sword, held the knife in both hands, infused the true power, and slashed and stabbed in front of him. This move is the opening sentence of the Body Refining Boxing Sutra: "It is better to hit someone a thousand times, than to stab one." "Lian Haichao's talent was extremely talented, and now he has gradually realized that his body is as immobile as the earth, his state of mind is clear, and the purity of the sword intent is faintly condensed into a knife qi that is about to erupt.
After many violent collisions, the Ben Thunder Sword finally couldn't support it, and in a violent impact, it broke off in response, but a broken sword cut through Lian Haichao's defense, leaving a hideous wound in front of him, and suddenly blood stained his shabby robes, and Lian Haichao's momentum was like a rainbow, and a knife slashed at the enemy's neck, and the Ben Thunder Swordsman had no choice but to retreat far away. Even the tide of the sea is running wildly again, as long as he crosses the single-plank bridge in front, there is an eighty percent probability of saving his life.
At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the Ranger Captain Cui Hanzhang led a 3,000-strong Ranger Pioneer Battalion that had swept the entire northwest periphery of Youyun City for hundreds of miles, and successively killed three cavalry spies, whose heads were tied to the back of the horse. This trip has gained a lot, is preparing to return to the camp after drinking horses in the Heishui River, it just so happened that the fight on the other side of the river attracted the attention of the rangers, the opposite hundred people chased and intercepted the tide of the sea, the pursuers were dressed in different costumes, some were wearing armor, there were also swordsmen dressed in rivers and lakes, and there were more grassland horse bandits and the like, I couldn't tell whether it was a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, or a spy to play.
After a little observation, Cui Hanzhang and the others understood that both sides were playing with real knives and guns. What is amazing is that the force of Lian Haichao who was chased and killed is really amazing, obviously like the end of a strong crossbow, but a kun rium knife swims like a frightened dragon, crisscrossing between the crowd and horses, and a large amount of blood splashes everywhere in the light of the knife, so that he repeatedly escaped from the encirclement, and was about to cross the river on the bridge, but in the end he was shot in the leg by a few feather arrows and fell into the mud, but he dragged the bleeding injured leg and crawled forward persistently.
Lian Haichao's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and it was easier to close his eyes than lying in the night, this time he knew very well that he could never open his eyes after closing them, and his mind reflected the unwilling eyes of his grandfather before his death, which was the only thing that could keep him awake.
When everything you know and love is destroyed, there is no place for nostalgia in the world.
Death is small, but it is extremely long.
The air was dry, there was not a trace of wind, the cool breeze seemed to be imprisoned, and everything succumbed to the scorching sun.
Just in Lian Haichao's heart, the flame gradually extinguished, the eyelids slowly opened and closed, "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" dense and sharp piercing sound broke the air, crossed his head, and shot the pursuers who came over again under the horse, at the same time, Cui Hanzhang led more than a dozen rangers to cross the bridge to kill the pursuers, and the battle happened very quickly, from the feather arrow shooting and suppression, to the ranger crossing the bridge to chase and kill, in less than a moment, all the hundred chasing soldiers were annihilated.
In the hundred-mile wilderness outside Youyun City, the Ranger Pioneer Battalion tried its hand at killing the enemy like cutting melons and vegetables, and it was over before the fun was finished.
After Cui Hanzhang ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, he quickly evacuated and carried away Lian Haichao, who had fainted, and returned to the camp for treatment without stopping.
The rangers who stayed on the shore of the black water in the middle of the night reported that an hour after Captain Cui led the troops away, a large group of people came, about a thousand or so, and the bows and crossbows were well-equipped, which should have come out of Youyun City.
In the early morning of the next day, Lian Haichao was woken up by the sound of soldiers and horses training outside the camp tent, and was greeted by a white-faced captain, who unconsciously touched the gunning knife and found himself lying on the couch.
"Do not move, lest the wound be torn open again, and it is you who suffer, and your knife is at the bedside." Cui Hanzhang drank a bowl of oil tea and said slowly.
"I don't thank you for saving my life, and I will repay him in the future. Where is this? Lian Haichao struggled to get up and asked with his fists clenched.
"You answer me first, why are you being hunted down?" Cui Hanzhang asked with his eyes fixed on him.
"Vendetta in the rivers and lakes, family grudges." Lian Haichao replied.
"Why are the Ghost Cloud City Cavalry involved?" Cui Hanzhang asked again.
"The Twelve Prefectures of Youyun suspected that our Lian family was colluding with the Shenguang Dynasty to rebel, and they should cooperate with the outside, so they framed the killer." At this time, I couldn't help myself, so I simply opened up and said.
"Then do you Liuluan City Lianjia really have a joint Divine Light Dynasty to unite inside and outside?" Cui Hanzhang asked step by step.
"I don't know, the Lian clan went north from the river a hundred years ago, took root in the twelve states of Youyun, and became the famous six surnames, and I have been studying in the Dalun Temple for more than ten years, and I rarely ask about the affairs of the clan." Lian Haichao was sluggish for a moment, and then said.
"This is the Divine Light Ranger Battalion, you should rest first. Anyway, the Twelve Prefectures of Youyun will destroy you, and we all have a common enemy. Cui Hanzhang got up and walked out of the big tent.
At this time, Murong Yanran, the commander of Youyun City, was already so angry that he scolded,
"A group of fools, the five surnames of the twelve states of the dignified clouds can't catch a remnant of the Lian family, does he even have three heads and six arms? Doesn't it mean that the twelve states of Youyun are all under control? ”
"Since you can't clean up the mess in Liuluan City, you can simply leave it to the Xinghai Department to take over."
"The Xinghai Department is willing to go to the soup for the fox handsome, and the liver and brain are smeared." The Great Elder of the Xinghai Department stood up and bowed to Murong Yanran. The Xinghai Department, which has been wandering for a hundred years, chose to bet on the embroidered fox Murong Yanran this time, and finally won a place to stay in the Twelve Prefectures of Youyun.
"The fox commander is angry, and all the military supplies will be transported to Youyun City within five days." Seeing this situation, the other five elders immediately stood up and said, everyone has worked hard to eradicate a Lian family, but they don't want to be picked by the Xinghai Department and settled in Liuluan City.
"Liuluan City still needs to be appeased, and the Xinghai Ministry's rash entry may cause riots among the people, and our five surnames are willing to transfer the elite children of the clan to jointly maintain the security and stability of Liuluan City." The Dugu clan and the Xia clan and other elders hurriedly expressed their petitions.
"The Xinghai Department and the children of the five surnames will be stationed in Liuluan City together to appease the people, stabilize the rear, and behead those who violate the order." Murong Yanran sat on the throne and stroked her forehead with one hand, and gave orders to everyone.
"Subordinates obey." The Great Elder of the Xinghai Department had already expected it, knowing that the clan had been out of exile for too long, and it was too hasty to want to swallow Liuluan City at once, but as long as he was given time, he would slowly kick the other five surnames out of Liuluan City, and it would be a matter of time or time.
"My Murong has always done things fairly, which of you can cut off Lian Haichao's head, and reward him with all the mansions of the Lian family and the ten miles radius of Liuluan City." Before leaving, Murong Yanran threw out the tempting chips again, and also made the bottom line clear, the two of you are fighting for each other, but the Lianjia Mansion and the radius of ten miles are forbidden areas, and whoever dares to stretch out his claws will be interrupted.
The two gangs were in a hurry to go back and dispatch troops, stationed in Liuluan City overnight, and quickly grabbed territory, hearing the words of the commander Murong Yanran, they also decisively demarcated the area around the Lian family's mansion first, and at the same time paid more attention to the matter of chasing and killing Lian Haichao.
It is the drastic change in Liuluan City, the Lian clan extermination changed the pattern of the rivers and lakes of the Twelve Prefectures of Youyun, the wandering forces of the Xinghai Department were able to invade the Twelve Prefectures, and gradually launched the infiltration of the entire Twelve Prefectures of Youyun with Liuluan City as a stronghold, and the Xinghai tribes scattered all over the country for a hundred years rushed to Liuluan City like a pilgrimage, compared to the children of the five surnames who were born rich and splendid, the Xinghai people cherished the hard-won Liuluan City more, how many clansmen died tragically, how many children froze to death in the wind and snow, and it is foreseeable that in the next fifty years, The bloody rain in Liuluan City will not stop, it will only intensify.
In the Shenguang tent, Emperor Jialong was playing chess with Generalissimo Yao Yu while listening to Cui Hanzhang's report on the military situation, and when he heard that the rangers had saved Lian Haichao, the young master of Liuluan City, by the Heishui River, he couldn't help but stop and turn his head and asked:
"Lian Haichao is not dead yet, didn't he hear that the Lian clan of Liuluan City was wiped out by the five surnames of the United Xinghai Division?"
"It's true that he didn't die, but he was seriously injured, and he is still recuperating in his tent." Cui Hanzhang replied truthfully.
"It's also a poor man, I heard that he is a senior disciple of the Dalun Temple in Gabu Snow Mountain." Emperor Jialong said with a smile.
After Yao Yu listened to the words of the saint, he said,
"The minister is stationed in Jiatong Pass all the year round, and I heard that the Lian clan has taken root in Liuluan City for a hundred years, especially the characters such as Lian Haichao, the young generation of Youyun Twelve Prefectures have not met opponents, and they can't imagine that they will be wiped out overnight, and Lian Haichao can escape, and the other five surnames are estimated to be unable to sleep."
"Ask Lian Haichao about his next plans, try to meet his requirements, I want the situation in the Twelve Prefectures of Youyun to become more chaotic, maybe the impact of this chess piece on the overall situation of Youyun City will exceed expectations." After Emperor Jialong explained Cui Hanzhang, he waved his hand to let him go down.
Weichen thought that Lian Haichao was qualified to be the dragon crossing the river in the twelve states of Youyun, and he didn't dare to say that he would be able to do something, but there were more bad things. Now he is burdened with a sea of hatred and blood, and if he uses it properly, he can fight with the five major clans and other head snakes. Yao Yu twisted his beard and said.
"10,000 years is too long, I only seize the day."
"Niu Ma Lan quickly sent an order to the people of Lok Ma Chau and the twelve states to fully support Lian Haichao." Emperor Jialong ordered behind the screen......
