Chapter 619: Southbound (16)
The blade sliced across the night sky, skimming the target's throat and bringing up a cloud of blood. The man collapsed limply with his hands over the wound to his throat, his mouth wide open in an attempt to wail or scream, but in the end he only let out a series of muffled and feeble whimperes.
When he was dying, he just watched his robes being cut down to the ground one by one, and stepped on the ghost gate with him. Until the end of his life, he didn't see clearly who killed his people by what means, so he could only return to Mount Tai with a suspicious soul.
These subordinates are all experts in night battles, and they are trained according to the standards of night combat scouts of the Beifu soldiers, and they can complete combat missions alone without the cover of battle formations. When marching, they do not walk in the formation, they stealth in the shadows, ready to hunt down the opponents who suddenly appear.
They are all first-class hunters, and they are familiar with the terrain of Parrot Island, and they think that they can protect themselves no matter what kind of strong enemy they encounter, but they didn't expect that the strong will have their own strong players, and the opponents they encountered this time are far beyond imagination, and they can find out where their people are at a glance. First, someone suddenly came out and slashed two people one after another. The others just wanted to besiege it, but they didn't expect that someone could jump from the top of the towering tree without any tools, and instead of falling and injuring themselves, they killed people cleanly and neatly, and harvested human lives one after another.
Although Xu Le and the mysterious man had consumed a lot of energy in a fierce battle just now, dealing with these people was still as smooth as chopping melons and vegetables. Rao is a veteran who is good at night fighting, and he can't compete with a super fighter with night eyes and stunts. The two of them pressed their wrists and shot out of the knife without wind, and the night was like ink, making the knife body hidden and difficult to see. Before they even knew what weapons they were using, they had their throats cut or their hearts pierced to death.
The light skills of the mysterious people are more effective in such chaotic battles, and they tend to avoid like ghosts, neither allowing those few parts to parry, nor allowing them to send signals to war. Xu Le's killing method is more simple and neat, although his body is not as dexterous as the mysterious person, but the speed of advance and retreat is not slow. The strength of the shot is superior to that of the mysterious man, and the sword is not empty, and a human life is ended with a swing of the sword. The mysterious man's skills are as pleasing to the eye as a lady's hairpin, and Xu Le's knife is a blacksmith's hammer power, which is simple and effective, full of power and killing beauty.
In the blink of an eye, several of the night battle elites were all finished. The two looked at each other, then raised their knives and rushed towards the rest of the group. Those people were certainly ready for battle, but first the leader was killed, and then the few night battle elites who were regarded as backers were also resolved, and it was inevitable that they would be in chaos. Someone wants to call a companion for a warning, but Han Xiaoliu's bow and arrow are not vegetarian, and whoever wants to send a warning signal will inevitably be shot by an arrow. What's more, there is also a pair of life-seeking daggers that step away, and in the dark night, the little wolf girl is really like a predatory wolf, and she will see blood when she comes out of the knife.
The addition of Xu Le and the mysterious person is tantamount to adding insult to injury for these people. It was already impossible to resist, and it was even more difficult to resist at this time. Even if they are all elites who have been rigorously trained and tempered by large and small battle formations, they have become lambs to be slaughtered at this time.
Xiao Liu held a bow and watched coldly from a distance, and when he saw Xu Le and the mysterious man's two knives stirring up the bloody wind and rain in the crowd, he only felt indescribable happiness in his heart. If it weren't for the fear of leaking the news, I really wanted to cheer loudly to boost morale. However, he could also see that although Xu Le and the mysterious man joined forces to kill, they were still wary of each other.
The distance between the two is always more than an arrow, making sure that you will not be stabbed by the opponent's straight knife. And when the two of them shoot, they only use five points of force at most, and as for who the other five points of force will stay to deal with, everyone does not need to explain it.
He pointed his bow at the mysterious man several times, wanting to take advantage of the chaotic battle to secretly release an arrow and make trouble for Le Langjun. I don't want this mysterious person to be aware of his own movements, as long as his bow is pointed, his body will immediately change position. Xiao Liu's aiming failed several times in a row, but he tossed himself dizzy, and kept muttering in his heart: Evil Gate!
With the last enemy falling, the team led by Xie Ding has been completely wiped out, and this is also the entire strength of the Cockatoo Island patrol tonight. This group of people and horses all the parents means that from this time until the change of guard, the Xie family troops stationed in Parrot Island have lost their eyes and ears.
Xie Yongzhi is not a person who does not know soldiers, nor is he unaware of the importance of patrolling. It's just that although the subordinates are many and useful, it is impossible to use most of the troops on night patrols, which will only arouse the dissatisfaction of the soldiers and will have little effect. According to the usual theory, these elites who have experienced a hundred battles, with the cooperation of light and dark whistles, plus the troops who are accustomed to night battles and sneak attacks, how can they find Xu Le or the opposite clues. Even if you are not an opponent, you can call the police in time to make everyone prepared.
This kind of thinking was not wrong in the first place, but the opponent he encountered was too powerful, and naturally he would inevitably suffer.
Now that the foreign enemy is gone, Xu Le's relationship with the mysterious person has become awkward again. Xiao Liu had already determined that his archery skills could not threaten this person, but he still drew his bow as a warning. The tip of the treasure knife in Xu Le's hand pointed to the ground, letting the blood flow down the blade, and his eyes were staring at the person who came and was ready to make a move. The mysterious man slowly put the knife into the sheath and said in a low voice: "Le Langjun is worthy of being a good man who slashes the heavy pupil generals, and his means are really clever!" I'm going to have to share it with you another day! ”
Xu Le didn't make a sound, and he didn't mean to take a knife. The visitor continued: "As soon as these people die, the outpost of this post will be cut off, and no one will disturb them until they change the guard, but we can say a few words." It's still some distance from where the thieves camp, and as long as they don't shine like them, the thieves won't be alarmed. ”
It was still silent. Xu Le and his entourage didn't seem to be able to speak, so they quietly looked at the person who came and listened to him talking to himself there. The person who came seemed to think of something, and he arched his hand again: "A certain Wuxing Shenguang, when he was a young man in Chang'an in the past, a friend gave him a certain nickname, called Meat Feixian." Now serving beside His Majesty, the official worships the general. ”
Xu Le then spoke: "When I was in Chang'an, I heard someone mention that there is a Shen general holder by the side of the current Emperor Taishang, who is as light as Yan Yong's strength, and he is the first good man in Chang'an City in the past. He once repaired the sail pole for the Zen Temple, and jumped off from a height of more than ten zhang without being scathed without relying on the rope, and it was precisely because of this means that he was called the meat flying fairy. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. It has long been heard that Shen Zongzhi is the first confidant of the Emperor Taishang, and he is rewarded with wine, food, wealth and silk every day, and even rewards the royal sword to Shen Zongzhi for use. I thought that the emperor would always be by the emperor's side, but I didn't expect it to appear in Parrot Island. Since you have the heart to learn, you don't have to wait until the future, it's better to see the high and low now. ”
Shen Guang took two steps forward, and raised his hands to indicate that he had no weapons in his hands, and there was no malice in approaching Xu Le. "When I was in Jiangdu, I also heard the name of Le Langjun. Li Shude's false benevolence and false wolf ambition and delusional desire to usurp the foundation of the Great Sui are really wishful thinking. If it weren't for Le Langjun to seize the Pujin ferry first and force the landing in Chang'an later, this thief would have been full of execution! His Majesty also said that if you want to get rid of Li Shude, you will kill Le Langjun, as long as you die, the Li family's foundation will turn into powder, and Daxing can be lost and recovered. ”
"Since the Emperor Taishang has such words, what are you waiting for? Everyone's subordinates see the high and low! ”
"Your Majesty is as open-minded as the sea, although he has such words, he also said that he wants to see Le Langjun with his own eyes and see what the young hero of the battle is like. If you serve Your Majesty, you naturally have to act according to your orders. Besides, when I come to Parrot Island tonight, it is not Le Langjun who wants to be killed, but the bandits who are entrenched here. Lang Jun's friends were also captured by these thieves, what should you and I do if we fight for that hero? He's not doing well. ”
Xu Le's brows furrowed, his eyes were fierce, and he stared at Shen Guang opposite.
When Shen Guang made a secret calculation, Xu Le had already guessed that it might be the hero who is still a legend in Chang'an City: "Meat Flying Immortal". It is only then that he admits it himself, and the matter can be confirmed.
Shen Guang was born in a family of eunuchs, and he should have relied on his background resume to embark on a career like an ordinary eunuch's son. However, when his father was in the fourth year of Renshou, he was convicted of stealing the official family property because he was involved in the rebellion of the Han King Yang Liang, and the livelihood of the whole family was in great trouble, and Shen Guang's road to advancement came to an end.
However, his civil and military skills were both bold and righteous, and he soon relied on his skills to mingle with the chivalrous young men in Chang'an City, and it didn't take long to become the leader of these chivalrous young men. Even Shi Wanbao, a long-famous hero in Chang'an City at that time, had to give three points openly and five points secretly, and did not dare to compete with him. Those officials or the children of businessmen took the initiative to take out a large amount of money to befriend Shen Guang, so that the Shen family could have no worries about food and clothing.
When Yang Guang was fighting for Goryeo, he recruited the sons of good families in Chang'an to accompany the army, and in order to revive the family business, Shen Guang also signed up for the recruitment, and performed in the school field to shock the three armies. It is precisely by virtue of this skill that Yang Guang appreciated, from the leader of the young man to the court doctor, and now he is the official worship of the general Zhi Chonglang to lead the Xiaoguo army, and he is the number one favored martial artist by Yang Guang's side.
Although he can't interfere in the direction of the government, for Yang Guang, he is a confidant-like existence, and he will not let him leave his sight easily, and the reason for his appearance in Parrot Island is quite worrying.
Xu Le is not sure whether Shen Guang's trip is for himself. However, he could conclude that after discovering himself, Shen Guang was definitely murderous. Just listen to the so-called Yang Guang wants to see himself and the like, no matter what the ridiculous emperor thinks, Shen Guang, as his confidant and loyal minister, must want to get rid of himself and cut off the arms of the Li family.
The reason why he does not do it now is because he is intimidated by his own means. After all, in this world, there is no hard work in the hands, and no one will look at it squarely. If you don't react in time in the forest and are hacked to death, no matter what Yang Guang says, it's useless, and there is no need for a dead person to make friends with anyone. It was the fight between himself and him that made him realize that it was difficult to defeat him, so he had such a condescending performance.
Shen Guang is right, if the two fight to the death, they will definitely make the Xie family take advantage of it. No matter what the purpose of his trip was, the Xie family's parts were now a thorn in his side. Who let them have a five-tooth boat in their hands? This is the way to die.
After all, Yang Guang didn't have a five-tooth warship in Jiangdu, and a group of water cowards actually had such a huge ship, how could they rest assured that Yang Guang would not die? Presumably, Xie Yongyi was in a hurry to collect his troops and flee to Parrot Continent, but he learned that he was being targeted by Shen Guang and did not dare to stay longer. Shen Guang's thoughts on suppressing bandits should not be fake.
Xu Le doesn't like Yang Guang, but he doesn't like water bandits even more. If the two sides can join forces to annihilate the water cowards, it will be great. But the other party actually threatened Han Yue, which touched Xu Le's bottom line. His eyes glared at Shen Guang, waiting for the other party's next words. If he really caught Han Yue, or threatened Han Yue's life, even if he was injured, he would kill him on the spot!
