Volume 1 The First Involvement in the Warring States Chapter 067 The Sword in the Sleeve
Time did not allow them to think too much, and then Rong threw his hook over the side again, hooked the decoration on the eaves with unmistakable accuracy, tied the other end of the rope to the higher part of the trunk, and then hooked the rope with his hands and feet, and slid towards the eaves.
Lu Yu was shocked again, Hou Rong definitely had the genes of special forces in his body, which made him have to admire.
If you go to the world 2,000 years later, Hou Rong's skills can definitely be a devil coach.
Seeing that he had successfully reached the opposite side, Lu Yu no longer doubted whether the rope was firmly tied, learned from Hou Rong, carefully grasped the rope, and his feet were also crossed, and he automatically slid towards the edge of the eaves just like him.
When Lu Yu stood firm on the eaves, Hou Rong grabbed the rope with one hand and pulled it back, and the rope was like a part of his body and was obediently taken back. If you don't use enough force, you may not be able to untie the knots tied to the trunk, and if you push too hard, you will tear off a lot of snow from the tree.
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps below.
I heard one person say, "Strange. ”
Another asked, "Strange what?" ”
The first one said, "Look, I thought it was snowing." ”
The other laughed at him: "How is it possible! It's just the wind that blows the snow off the trees, so don't make a fuss. ”
The two stopped talking, and the footsteps faded away.
Lu and Hou glanced at each other, knowing that it was the guards who had just passed by.
At this time, the two of them were lying on the eaves, sitting or squatting would be found by the people below, and both of them were covered with falling snow, and it was Lu Yu who was lying on his stomach, responsible for listening to the movements inside; Lying is Hou Rong, who is responsible for waiting for Zhang Wu's signal and monitoring the security behind him to prevent being discovered and attacked from behind.
Sure enough, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, there was a sound in the house.
Lu Yu heard that it was Zhu Hai's voice, and immediately cheered up.
His arrival means that the action is about to begin, and only the cold wind outside can perform its lines unscrupulously, and Lu Yu and Hou Rong can only accompany the vast white snow to do pantomime. It's going to take a while, but at least it won't be boring for him.
The people inside spoke so quietly that they couldn't hear what they were saying. Lu Yu could only distinguish Zhu Hai's voice, and the other voice was probably the person who was about to enter the palace. Other than that, there is no third voice.
If that person leaves, I wonder if Zhu Hai will be left alone? This is already the most extreme information that Long Yangjun can provide, and the rest can only depend on themselves.
However, Lu Yu obviously underestimated the time of an hour, because that kind of waiting was long and boring.
Before half an hour had come, he was so bored that he almost fell asleep.
From time to time, he glanced at Hou Rong out of the corner of his eye to see if he was as bored as he was to fall asleep. I don't know if I don't look at it, it turns out that if I don't look carefully, even if Lu Yu is at such a close distance, he can't see that there are two people under this pile of snow, and Hou Rong only left a small hole for watching and breathing, and he couldn't see his face at all.
Although they were wearing two layers of animal skins that were close to their bodies, they still couldn't stop the biting cold, and Lu Yu was even worried that the two of them would freeze into stiff flesh under the snow without waiting for the next time. However, in fact, it was not as frozen as he imagined, except for the animal skin clothes, and he had drunk hot wine before coming, which played a role in keeping warm at this time.
I wonder where Zhang Wu is hiding in the museum now?
Just when Lu Yu was still thinking nonsense in his mind, he only heard the sound of snoring in the house, and secretly wondered if this Zhu Hai was already asleep? Immediately, he heard a crow cry from the courtyard, and Lu Yu suddenly felt full of energy, because it was the signal given by Zhang Wu, and it turned out that he had spent noon in his thoughts.
There was a tremor next to him, Hou Rong brushed away the snow on his head, glanced at Lu Yu, and signaled to prepare for action. The two of them carefully climbed up and crouched down by the wall.
Hou Rong took out a bamboo tube from his clothes, pulled out the lid, and poured the liquid inside on the edge of the window door. Lu Yu knew that it was a special medicine, which could minimize the sound of pushing the window, so that he could enter the room without noticing. Immediately, Hou Rong pressed his right hand on the window and tried to push it away, but frowned.
The window door was bolted inside!
In the midst of this, someone suddenly shouted, "Who are you!" ”
It turned out that the patrol on the ground had passed by and had spotted them.
Hou Rong made a decision immediately and immediately broke through the window.
When Lu Yu jumped in from the window, the guards downstairs had already shouted.
Zhu Hai had already woken up when the patrol was shouting, and when Lu Yu came in, he was already holding a weapon and touching the two of them head-on.
There was no nonsense, no bells and whistles, Hou Rong was like a wild leopard attacking, leaning forward like lightning, and directly attacking Zhu Hai.
Seeing that Hou Rong had already made a move, Lu Yu also quickly pulled out the short sword from his arms and stabbed at Zhu Hai.
This angle was grasped just right, Lu Yu's face was just blocked by Hou Rong, and he had not faced Zhu Hai head-on for the time being.
That Zhu Hai also reacted very quickly, and the meteor hammer in his hand swung out, and the pumpkin-like copper hammer shot towards Hou Rong like an arrow off the string. Hou Rong didn't dare to make a hard connection, so he could only dodge sideways, and Lu Yu was also busy slashing at the soft rope of the copper hammer with his short sword. At this time, Rong was only three or four steps away from Zhu Hai, and suddenly punched Zhu Hai again.
The lack of space caused Zhu Hai to have the shortcomings of the weapon, so that he could not use it with all his strength, so in desperation, he could only change the direction of the copper hammer with force, and then bent his knee and hit Hou Rong's elbow, blocking his punch. Without waiting for Lu Yu to get close, Zhu Hai turned the long handle in his hand again, only to hear a crisp metallic sound of "Zheng", and a sword blade of about three inches popped out from the end of the handle and stabbed at Hou Rong. Lu Yu was shocked, seeing that the direction of the copper hammer was aimed at Hou Rong's back, and he hurriedly intercepted it with a short sword.
There was a sound of fighting outside, and it was thought that Zhang Wu was dealing with the people outside.
At the moment when Zhu Hai's sword blade collided with Hou Rong's right arm, another piercing metallic sound sounded. In Hou Rong's right arm, there was a sword hidden!
The two swords intersected, sparks splashed, and Hou Rong hooked his left fist like lightning.
The cuff of his left arm that he swung out, the blade of the sword also popped out, and it turned out that he was using a double sword in his sleeve.
At this time, Lu Yu's short sword just intercepted the copper hammer, stuck the soft rope, and stepped on the ground with his foot.
At this time, Zhu Hai saw clearly that it was Lu Yu, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Lu Yu boy! How dare you plot against the old man! ”
Lu Yu sneered: "Go down and talk to King Yama!" ”
Seeing that the weapon was controlled, Zhu Hai couldn't help but be shocked, hurriedly took a big step back, and quickly released the long handle with his left hand, and went to draw the sword at his waist. How could Hou Rong give him a chance, he bullied himself while he was retreating, unfolded the word entanglement, and danced with his two swords, not allowing Zhu Hai to have a moment of respite.
Lu Yu seized the opportunity, and with a strong swing of the short sword, he slashed at the soft rope.
Another sparkle flew around.
The short sword was broken in two, but at the same time, Zhu Hai's meteor hammer was also abolished.
This is the disadvantage of heavy weapons, no matter how powerful you are, you can't do it in terms of speed, as long as this copper hammer is stuck, you can't pull it back at the same time in dealing with a melee attack like Hou Rong.
And Lu Yu guessed that the soft rope of the meteor hammer should also be made of special materials, which is difficult to cut in ordinary fights, but as long as the copper hammer is stuck, it will be different to cut it with a sharp sword.
Sure enough, the moment it fell, the soft rope splashed with sparks, it seemed that it should have been mixed with metal, but it turned out to be so tough that it was necessary to pay for a short sword.
Zhu Hai lost the meteor hammer, and only the remnant of the blade was left in his hand, although he was entangled by Hou Rong, and the sword at his waist could not be unsheathed, but he was still barely able to cope.
Lu Yu spotted the opportunity, quickly pulled out the dagger in his arms, and stabbed Zhu Hai almost close to Hou Rong's armpit.
Hou Rong's body and fist are the "beetle snake method" in the "Yin Fu Seven Methods", Lu Yu is extremely familiar, although the movements when he passes out from his armpits are not elegant, but it is a clever way to avoid Hou Rong's hands, let alone affect his moves.
The two snakes attacked at the same time, where is Zhu Hai's opponent? Although Lu Yu's dagger flew into the air, it made Zhu Hai stagger back, and with a "bang", his back had hit the wall, and there was no way back. With Lu Yu suppressing him, Hou Rong no longer has to be distracted by the kung fu under his feet, and the double swords in his sleeves are like spiritual snakes, which is dazzling.
blocked Lu Yu's dagger, and couldn't stop Hou Rong's double swords. Suddenly, Zhu Hai shouted violently, and his right hand was hard to hit Hou Rong's sword, but he took the opportunity to grab his left hand and slammed his forehead into Hou Rong's door.
It was too late, and in this lightning and flint, Lu Yu suddenly made a swallow soar into the sky, and the dagger in his hand opened from Zhu Hai's lower abdomen to his lower jaw like killing a pig, and before it was over, he stabbed his heart with his backhand.
Suddenly, the intestines flowed to the ground, blood splattered everywhere the dagger went, and the scene was so bloody that even Lu Yu didn't dare to look back. But Zhu Hai still made the terrifying sound of struggle before he died, and the two of them were splashed with blood, as if they had been sprayed wet by someone who had turned on a faucet.
Hou Rong lowered his head and shouted as a signal to inform Zhang Wu, and said to Lu Yu: "Let's withdraw quickly." ”
Lu Yu saw that his entire face was stained with Zhu Hai's blood, and he believed that his situation was definitely not much better than him. The two took off their blood-stained coats and still came out of the window.
Two guards fell in the courtyard, and the sound of metal intersecting was heard.
The two jumped from the eaves and fell into the backyard, only to see a person fighting and retreating behind them, also dressed as civilians, thinking that it should be Zhang Wu. Hou Rong directly pushed Lu Yu to the back wall, and he retreated to Zhang Wu's side to help him get rid of the haunted guards.
Since the dagger was left in his heart when he killed Zhu Hai just now, Lu Yu now had no other weapons in his hand, so he ran a little, rushed to the bottom of the tree, quickly climbed upward, and then jumped up the tree to the wall.
At this time, Rong had already helped Zhang Wu solve the remaining guards, and the two of them also climbed to the wall one after another.
Zhang Wu was the last to go up the wall, and as soon as he got on the wall, he pointed to the wall and shouted: "Not good! Look! ”
