Volume 1 Don't Use the Hidden Dragon Chapter 6 Wait for the Dragon
Wang Qiao's mount was stabbed in the neck by Shi A and killed, so he found another horse to ride, and the original owner of this horse had been slapped to death by the wolf's fangs. Because he was afraid of Shi A's swordsmanship, he stopped his subordinates and hurriedly retreated. On a rainy night, it seemed that another veil had been covered around the area where he couldn't see his fingers, and Shi A couldn't see where Wang Qiao and the others were retreating.
There is a river at the north gate, and you can only enter it by walking from the bridge. The gang of robbers was also fifteen or sixteen people, and not far away they saw a man standing on the other side of the bridge, wielding this halberd, which seemed to be the same guy who had put the fence at the west gate before.
Jing Wei held a halberd, saw the figure of a robber in the night rain, and scolded loudly: "Shameless thief, haven't you been killed in the public place?" ”
Although the rain was pouring down, this loud voice and this figure, the robbers would not admit that it was Jing Wei. Several robbers combined slightly, and as soon as they swarmed up, they planned to rush over and kill Jing Wei. But as soon as he got on the bridge, the plank bridge collapsed, and one rider fell directly into the river, and the other three horses fell without reining in their horses.
Seven or eight people had already been ambushed in the river, squatting in the river. Seeing the robbers falling into the water, they all stood up, and all kinds of weapons, regardless of people or horses, greeted each other with all kinds of weapons, screaming and begging for mercy. Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest of the robbers also abandoned their accomplices and withdrew.
As soon as the robbers retreated, the timid young men were about to chase after them with their weapons, leaving their original plans behind. Jing Wei had already received Jiang Xun's order and restrained the young men: "Stop!" Stop! Hold the bridge, don't chase it! Jing Wei is well-known in the township, and these ordinary people also listened to his orders, climbed back to the bridge, and continued to be vigilant.
The robbers on both sides retreated one after another, and the young men who stood guard everywhere returned to the pavilion, and Shi A and Jing Wei also rushed back, and everyone exchanged information with each other, and confirmed that Wang Qiao and his gang of robbers had indeed withdrawn, and cheered. But Jiang Hyun poured a basin of cold water down and said, "What's the joy? Wang Qiao was frustrated, and in the second half of the night, he would definitely come back to sneak attack. ”
Where did the people have any knowledge, and when they saw Jiang Hyun say this, they were immediately shocked, and asked one after another, "What should I do?" "How's that okay?"
Jiang Hyun waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and waited for the room to gradually calm down, and then said, "Tonight, you will lie down in your clothes and wait for the day." You need to know that if you are tired, your enemies will be even more tired. Don't be careless at this moment, either the thief dies or I die! ”
Everyone said yes, and then dispersed, but except for those who continued to stand guard, the other young men gathered in the pavilion and a spacious private house opposite the pavilion to rest for a while, controlled by Jing Wei.
Wang Qiao's men and horses divided into two teams and withdrew to the dense forest to the west. Wang Qiao counted the number of people, the original thirty-three people lost sixteen this time, counting the remaining seventeen people, they basically had this slight injury.
Wang Qiao put the horse aside and sat on the ground, his face gloomy, and he didn't say a word. One of his subordinates, who looked very similar to Wang Qiao, was Wang Qiao's younger brother, and he said: "Big brother, brothers can't die in vain!" ”
"Humph!" Wang Qiao thrust his sword into the ground fiercely, and said, "If you don't take revenge, you will teach the head of the family to look down on it, and even call yourself a big husband in vain!" As he spoke, he was going to take someone back to kill him again.
Another black and thin robber hurriedly grabbed Wang Qiao and said, "No! Cannot! There is a guard in the middle of the night, and the dwarf swordsmanship who makes the sword is outstanding, and I can't wait! I fancy the defense in the middle, I am afraid that there are more masters to help! It's better to withdraw tonight, and then think about it in the long run. ”
This black and thin robber is a second-in-command, and Wang Qiao didn't reprimand him directly, but just sneered: "Are you afraid?" ”
The black and thin bandit couldn't stand the irritation and said angrily, "How am I afraid? It's just that if you drag it out here any longer, I'm afraid you'll miss the big thing of the head of the family! We're just pretending to be robbers, not real bandits! ”
Wang Qiao broke free from the pull of the black and thin bandit, and shouted angrily: "Sixteen brothers died tonight, and this revenge will not be avenged, how can you let me explain to them?" ”
"Humph! This matter is caused by your recklessness," the black thin robber pointed at Wang Qiao's nose and said-for-tat: "Pretend to be a robber, just loot, you have to threaten to slaughter the pavilion, if I sue the head of the family, you will not escape the death penalty!" ”
"You!" Wang Qiao seemed to be deflated, and said, "Listen to you tonight, retreat to the mountains first, and then think about it in the long run." The superior person you speak of may not stay here forever. ”
"Count you as acquaintances!" The black thin robber turned around, just about to get on the horse, suddenly felt a pain in his lower back, a cold in his abdomen, looked down, in the darkness a knife tip has stretched out of his stomach, he knew that it must be Wang Qiao's hand, but before he looked back, he spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
Wang Qiao killed the black and thin robber, pulled out the ring knife, and said: "Lose tonight, after I go back, in front of the head of the family, I can't escape death, it's better to go back to the middle of the robbery, and then die in the world, who wants to follow me?" ”
"I do!" Wang Qiao's younger brother Wang Qian is naturally willing, and the others will see that the matter has come to this point, not to mention whether they will die in the hands of the head of the family if they choose not to follow Wang Qiao's words, seeing Wang Qiao's murderous spirit, if he doesn't say a word, he will inevitably end up on the spot like the black and thin robber. The robbers expressed their willingness to follow Wang Qiao, and after a little discussion, Wang Qiao decided not to ride a horse, but to sneak inside.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the sky is getting darker and darker, and if there is no light, you really can't see your fingers. Jiang Hyun couldn't sleep, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and in a daze, he didn't know how long it took for a sudden scream to come, and everyone was awakened.
Jiang Xun called a young man to remind Jing Wei's team who were resting opposite the pavilion, and he held a long sword and rushed out of the pavilion with a group of young men. As soon as he got out of the pavilion, he saw that Jing Wei also heard the scream and was awakened at the same time, and rushed out with people. And Wang Qiao also led people to kill him, leaving behind several sentry and young corpses.
The traps have run out, and it's too late to lay them out. The men and horses on both sides were on the bright side, Jiang Hyun was afraid that there would be casualties among the people, so he took the lead with his sword, and was the first to fight with the robbers, and Shi A and Jing Wei also joined the battle group immediately. And the people surrounded the city with weapons in their arms, but they did not dare to come forward again.
To be able to kill the pavilion chief, Jiang Hyun had already guessed that the skills and origins of this group of robbers would not be simple. Sure enough, as soon as they fought, their thoughts were confirmed. Although there are no masters who are better than Shi A and Jiang Hyun, and there is no greater strength than Jing Wei, but with a large number of people and fearless death, they have a faint upper hand.
Jiang Hyun has learned swords since he was a child, and his swordsmanship is gorgeous, with ups and downs, like a dragon. Shi A studied under the Tiger Ben Wang Yue, and his swordsmanship has the spirit of a military formation, and his moves are fierce and ruthless, and he does not leave the vital point. Jing Wei's arm strength is large, and a halberd seems to make it also a tiger, and no one dares to get close. Wang Qiao's eyes were poisonous enough, and he saw that Jing Wei's martial arts skills were average, both offensive and undefensive, but with a halberd, the threat was the greatest, so he turned around and attacked Jing Wei.
Jiang Xun saw Wang Qiao going to attack Jingwei and wanted to come forward to help, but he was surrounded by four robbers. Although he has tried several times with people in Beihai, he has not yet met an opponent, but it is a solo competition, and it is the first time to have more than one enemy, and it is the first time to fight a duel of life and death. suffered from a lack of experience, and couldn't get out for a while.
It was still Shi Ah Lao Dao, his right hand made the sword attack left and right block, and his left hand secretly touched the halberd, raised his hand and threw it, and went straight to Wang Qiaohou's heart. Wang Qiao is not a young child who has just entered the rivers and lakes, and in the rainy night, he still hears the bad wind behind him. With Shi A's strength and angle, if Wang Qiao turned around to parry, or dodge, then he would have hit this halberd anyway. But Wang Qiao reacted quickly, he was prepared when he saw the halberd on Shi A's waist before, and when he heard the wind at this time, he knew that it was Shi A who threw the halberd, and he didn't block or dodge, but he leaned down on the ground, and the halberd flew over his scalp.
However, after Wang Qiao's pause, Jing Wei noticed Wang Qiao's movements, and became alert, Wang Qiao saw that the sneak attack on Jing Wei could not be successful, so he got up and threw himself into the pavilion. The door of the pavilion was opened, and before it could be closed, a little boy ran out for some reason.
"Xiao Yuan! Go back! Shi Ah saw that Wang Qiao's target was the little boy he had kidnapped that day, and he later learned that the orphan's name was Xiao Yuan.
Shi Ah didn't care about the enemy in front of him, turned around and pounced, and the long sword shot out, stabbing Wang Qiao's wrist directly.
But Wang Qiao was closer to Xiao Yuan and had already rushed to Xiao Yuan's face. He saw Shi A pounce and grabbed Xiao Yuan in front of him. Seeing this, Shi Ah hurriedly put away his sword. Xiao Yuan, who was already scared silly, was only seven or eight years old after all, and he was thin and weak, and he was carried by Wang Qiao as a shield in his left hand. Shi A made several moves, but he threw a mouse bogey, but Wang Qiao had the upper hand.
Shi A was anxious, this Xiao Yuan was also destined for him, and he was the first person he knew after coming here. After Xiao Yuan's parents died, the people in the room may have been poor because they were also poor, so no one cared about him and left him to fend for himself. He hadn't eaten enough for a few days before Shi Ah came, and the first full meal was the two bowls of rice that Jiang Hyun sent into the house. On the one hand, because Shi A is also an orphan, he has some sympathy with Xiao Yuan, and on the other hand, because he has kidnapped Xiao Yuan after all, he feels guilty, Shi A comes to see him every day, and he can be fed every day.
At this time, Xiao Yuan was kidnapped by Wang Qiao, because he was anxious, and because he was worried, he also needed to take care of not accidentally injuring Xiao Yuan, Shi A's swordsmanship became more and more scattered, and flaws were frequently exposed. Wang Qiao finally found the vacancy and stabbed Shi A in the right shoulder.
"Ahh Shi A screamed in pain, although he was in pain, Shi A still didn't lose his sword. But the shoulder was pierced, and the blade of the ring head knife was still sandwiched inside, and it was impossible to raise the sword to repel Wang Qiao no matter what, so he could only hold the back of Wang Qiao's knife tightly with his left hand and prevent the knife from penetrating deeper.
