Chapter 37: Déjà vu
The next day, to Chen Rui's surprise, they did not leave, but followed them and went on the road together, but they didn't give Chen Rui a good face.
Qin Qingyao thought about it all night, but decided not to give him a good face for the time being, and on the surface he was very angry, when he recognized her, she could also settle accounts after the autumn, instead of being settled by the queen of autumn.
In front were two heroic teenagers riding on horses, and behind were Qin Fu driving a carriage drawn by three horses. The three horses are all tall horses, they don't look fat and strong, they are oily and slippery, but their limbs are thick and strong, and Bole can see at a glance that this is a thousand miles of horses that travel thousands of miles a day. Compared with Chen Rui, a majestic, fat and strong horse, I don't know how much stronger.
At the back was another guard with a grim face and a flat expression, dressed in a black robe and carrying a large sword at his waist.
Half a day passed in a flash, there was no communication between several people along the way, the atmosphere was slightly weird, and when they reached a dense place in the mountains and forests, there was a sound of fighting in front of them.
Chen Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, and after glancing at Zhang Ning, they all immediately stepped forward to check.
In the car, Xuan Su said with some worry: "County Lord, it seems that the front is not very peaceful. ”
Qin Qingyao lifted the curtain and ordered Qin Fu to follow when she saw Chen Rui stepping forward.
The road ahead is a slightly open section, but there is dense forest above and below, making it a great hiding and ambush place. The road was blocked by several horse-drawn wagons full of goods.
There were two groups of people who were fighting together, and the fight was quite fierce.
On one of the two sides stood about two dozen people, armed with long swords and dressed in cyan robes, all men.
On the other side, dressed in purple, there were about 40 people standing, both men and women, and their weapons were also varied, including long knives, long swords, and plate axes......
Many people on both sides have already fallen, and their wounds are gushing like springs, and it seems that they will not survive.
Although there are few people on the Tsing Yi side, the various sword moves are exquisite, and they cooperate tacitly, sometimes forming a sword formation to resist the enemy, and they also resist the opponent's attack for a while.
On the purple-clothed side, the number of roads varies, some are strong and strong, and the attack is extremely fierce; Some of them are smart, some have exquisite moves, and some will take the opportunity to sneak attack, which makes people unguardable. Although the cooperation is not as good as the Tsing Yi people, there are many people, and it is only a matter of time before they win.
The nearly middle-aged man in purple resisted the sword move of the man in Tsing Yi in front of him, and laughed: "Dou Yuande, you are gradually falling into the wind, and it is a matter of time before you are defeated, it is better to surrender as soon as possible, maybe Uncle I can spare your life." ”
Kou Yuande forced him back with a sword, and seeing the situation in the field that was gradually unfavorable to his side, he said coldly: "Hugh is rampant, Ximen Jing, if it weren't for the despicability and shamelessness of your Holy Yan Sect, setting up an ambush, and suddenly attacking us, how could you people in the Demon Dao get a bargain in our hands?" ”
"As the saying goes, soldiers are not tired of deceit, as long as they can win and save their lives, who cares if the means are despicable or not, shameless or shameless? Are you saying that you so-called righteous people are just sanctimonious hypocrites who do less dirty things on weekdays? It's so much more shameless than we are. Ximen Jinghao, the man in purple, said neatly.
He didn't mind having to talk to Kou Yuande, because now that they had the upper hand, as long as the people under him died, he would become a turtle in an urn.
"Humph!" Kou Yuande snorted coldly and shouted: "The disciples of the Qingjin Sect listen to the order, eliminate the demon and defend the Dao, and the time has come to raise the prestige of my sect, kill me." ”
After saying that, he went straight to Ximen Jing, and he also knew that he couldn't drag it out, he had to solve Ximen Jing as soon as possible, and then help his disciples relieve the pressure.
His cheers had some effect, and for a while, the morale of the people in Tsing Yi soared, but it reversed some of the decline, but it could not reverse the situation.
Chen Rui looked at it for a while and knew what was going on, saying that it sounded like the battle between good and evil in the rivers and lakes, and in layman's terms, it was two illegal armed organizations gathering to fight.
In the eyes of the imperial court, no matter what righteous path you have, all of them are illegal armed organizations that want to get rid of them as soon as possible. Because these people are all ruthless people, whether they are people in the righteous path who are known as the righteous path, or people in the demon path who are called evil demons and crooked paths by the people in the righteous path, although they are not necessarily bad people, they all have the strength to disturb local law and order and threaten the safety of the people.
Of course, except for those Jianghu sects that are recognized and governed by the imperial court.
Looking at the corpses in this place, you can know how ruthless these people are, and their skills are not weak, Chen Rui feels that the two leaders are much stronger than him.
So Chen Rui decided to avoid some first, and wait for them to finish fighting on the road, but some people didn't want him to get his wish.
The man in Tsing Yi, known as Kou Yuande, had a glimpse of Chen Rui and his party, and hurriedly shouted: "This little friend, these evil demons are despicable and shameless, and they do all kinds of evil, and they have lost their conscience, and I also ask Xiaoyou to help me eliminate the demons and defend the way." ”
Ximen Jing glanced at Chen Rui and them when he heard this, but he didn't take them to heart, so he ignored them and attacked Kou Yuande again.
Of course, Kou Yuande couldn't see Chen Rui's depth at a glance, but what he thought was very simple, he didn't want them to really help him get rid of these people, he just wanted to be able to help them share a little pressure, delay a little time, and have a bit of cannon fodder.
Chen Rui almost couldn't help but rush up to help the people in purple solve these people in Tsing Yi when he heard this, this person has a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks like he is full of righteousness, but what he said makes people feel disgusting and want to vomit.
The settlement of personal grievances is so noble and great, they put themselves on the moral high ground, and they are extremely selfish, and they have not considered others at all, if they are just ordinary people who are powerless, it is very likely that because of his words, they will invite disaster and bury their lives.
Chen Rui suppressed the disgust in his heart, turned his horse's head, and stepped back, leaving enough space for them to avoid being affected.
Since the gallop was spacious, enough for the troika to go together, Qin Fu also turned the carriage around.
Without getting a response, Kou Yuande parried Ximen Jing's attack, glanced in the direction of Chen Rui when he was free, and saw that they completely ignored what he said, his eyes flashed with anger, and he said loudly again: "Little friend, these evil demons are crooked and murderous, if you don't get rid of them, when they solve us, they will definitely not let you go." ”
Chen Rui ignored his words again and continued to walk forward until he turned a corner, only hearing the sound of a fight and not seeing anyone before stopping.
Seeing that he was ignored again, Kou Yuande's chest burst into anger, he was a dignified elder of the Qingjin Sect, and he was famous in the rivers and lakes, when had he been treated like this?
The anger he was full of turned into a sword move and attacked Ximen Jing. Ximen Jing was not to be outdone, and the two fought with all their might, and for a while, the battle was extremely exciting.
Although there is no excitement to see here, Chen Rui is not the slightest interested in such a bloody and potentially affected liveliness.
It may take some time for them to finish, so Chen Rui dismounted, stretched, stood aside and looked at the distant scenery, her thoughts fluttering, but her face that brought disaster to the country and the people would always come out from time to time and linger.
In fact, he didn't know her name yet, and he didn't want to ask, and he didn't dare to ask.
I don't know when, Qin Qingyao was already standing next to him, neither of them spoke, neither of them looked at each other, like two strangers who didn't know each other, and like a couple who were very familiar with each other.
In the eyes of others, they are an incomparably matched fairy couple, Xuan Su and Xuan Ya's eyes flashed with envy, and they are extremely looking forward to the day when they can spend the rest of their lives with their Ruyi Langjun.
Suddenly, a little cold light disturbed this quiet and beautiful atmosphere, but it was Kou Yuande, a man in Tsing Yi, who stabbed Chen Rui with a sword.
At this time, he no longer had the slightest vigor just now, his hair and beard were messy, and there were a lot of blood stains on his robe, both enemies and his own.
Chen Rui's ignorance just now has made this so-called "righteous person" murderous, and now he can kill them and flee with his horse.
Fame? Who cares when it comes to life and death? Besides, no one in this wilderness saw them, and if they were all killed, only the people of the Holy Yan Sect would know, but how could people in the righteous path believe what they said?
The moment he sensed the danger, Chen Rui almost instinctively stood in front of Qin Qingyao, which made him a little incredible, and a little familiar. But the danger was imminent, and he couldn't afford to think about it.
It's just a little embarrassed when he realizes that the sword was aimed at him, not her.
Since you're the one who embarrassed me, I'll clean you up. Chen Rui pulled out the soft sword at his waist, ready to meet the enemy with all his might.
After all, this is a master who is more powerful than himself, although he is injured, he should not be underestimated.
Chen Rui's sudden movements were a little unexpected by Kou Yuande, but it didn't matter, he vowed to kill this person, so his sword also changed direction, still locking on Chen Rui.
One is to charge a blow, and the other is to meet the enemy with all his might; Although one has the upper hand, the other is not slow to react;
The tips of the two swords collided in the air, sparks popped out, one was a long sword, the other was a soft sword, but this soft sword according to Liang Tiangong said, it was an ancient divine weapon, such as the Qingxiao sword, which ranked third on the weapon list today, when it was soft, it was as elegant and agile as a whip, and after injecting internal force, it was as solid as a rock, the blade was like frost and snow, and the iron was sharpened like mud.
Time stood still for a moment, and then the two of them were shocked by a powerful backlash, and they both retreated.
But the situation was completely different, Kou Yuande took a dozen steps back before he stood firm, and the long sword in his hand was already full of cracks.
And the Qingxiao Sword in Chen Rui's hand was not damaged at all, still emitting a blue light, and there were beauties behind him who helped him unload most of his strength, and he still relied on a soft ...... behind him
Chen Rui's skill was beyond Kou Yuande's expectations, and the chasing soldiers behind him were coming, so after Kou Yuande failed in his blow, he jumped directly into the dense forest next to him without the slightest hesitation.
Zhang Ning and Qin Fu were about to jump into the dense forest to chase after them, but Kou Yuande's killing just now made them quite angry, although the distance was too far and they could not be rescued in time, and they were not worried about their safety, because they all knew that their master was not bad, and this half-disabled Kou Yuande was not a threat to them.
But under their protection, their own master was also sneak attacked, which made them feel a great shame, how could they tolerate him disappearing under their noses?
However, he was stopped by Chen Rui and Qin Qingyao, after all, there is a chance to deal with him in the future, and now there is a strong enemy on the side, although I don't know if it will be an enemy, but it is always right to guard against it.
Chen Rui felt the softness behind him, hurriedly straightened up, and smiled at Qin Qingyao with some embarrassment, he didn't know how to speak for a while, and he always felt that at this time, she might be even more angry when she said, "I'm sorry, I'm not intentional", "I'm sorry, it's all Kou Yuande" and the like......
However, Qin Qingyao's reaction made Chen Rui, who was ready to greet her anger, a little stunned, only to see her eyes full of tenderness when she looked at her, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, and her seductive red lips lightly opened: "I forgive you." ”
