Chapter 50: It's hard to put into words
Zhan Wuxian, Fei Wuji, and Gongzi Jizha are pressing step by step, Gongzi is injured in many places, and he is about to be restrained, at this time, a red practice comes to the air, enough to have a mile, flying above the four people, and the horse is shaking, like a heavenly river on it, shooting out dense and countless divine fires, raining, sprinkled to Zhan Wuxian, Fei Wuji and Gongzi Jiza. The three of them had to retreat urgently, each performing a stunt to avoid the divine fire. Then he saw that the divine fire was fluttering and erratic, like a ghost, and when it shot to the ground, it burst into a fireball that was a foot long. That is to say, these three people are strong in martial arts, their skills are profound, and they are all rare and famous swords, and they can't help them.
After the three of them withdrew a few zhang away, the red practice slowly retracted, becoming the size of a zhangxu, and out of the red practice came a delicate and charming young woman, wearing a red gauze robe, almost semi-transparent, faintly revealing skin like snow. The red pi practiced shrinking and rolling and wrapped around the young woman.
"Lingji!" The three of them secretly screamed badly.
Lingji stood in front of Gongzi's enemy, and said with a smile: "Zhan Wuxian, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you miss me?" ”
"......" Zhan Wuxian didn't know how to answer.
"Don't be embarrassed." Lingji said again: "Since the last goodbye, I have been thinking about you all the time, hehe......"
"Madam, don't talk nonsense with them, kill them all." Childe defeated the enemy on the side, hating the authentic.
"Don't worry, the king has already made arrangements, they will die sooner or later, don't be in a hurry." Lingji said: "Zhan Wuxian, you will win this battle, but this is not over, I will go to you, you are waiting for me in the city, don't run around." After speaking, he took the son to strike the enemy and walked away.
"Wait." Fei Wuji flew to chase after him, and a ball of divine fire flew in, blocking Fei Wuji, and he had to retreat.
"Why did you let them go, why didn't you two make a move?" Fei Wuji asked when he came back.
"The three of us joined forces and fought to a draw with Gongzi's enemy, and another Lingji came, and in the end it must be a defeat for both sides, and we don't know what kind of backhand the King of Chu has left, and what powerful people are waiting." Zhan Wuxian said: "No matter who happens to the three of us, it will be unfavorable to the people of Caicheng. Ling Ji and Gongzi are defeated and left, and the corpse beast pawns will definitely retreat, so as to temporarily reduce the pressure on Cai Cheng. ”
"I think Gongzi must have some other plans to defeat the enemy and Lingji, they won't admit defeat and give up easily." Childe Jiza analyzed.
"What's the plan?" Fei Wuji asked.
At this time, the corpse beast pawn really received an order to start retreating, and Cai Cheng temporarily lifted the siege. The waning moon rose in the east, the torches on the city wall were lit, and the soldiers on the city wall cheered when they saw the corpse beast retreating, and some soldiers began to shout: "Cai Gong, Cai Gong ......" to show Xiong Qiji's mighty ability.
"Cai Gong? Lingji's target is Cai Gong. The three of them were shocked at the same time and flew back to the city.
Back in the city, the three of them went straight to the Cai Gongfu. searched all over the house, but did not find Cai Gongxiong's abandonment of illness.
"Could it be...... Lingji started so quickly? The three of them broke out in a cold sweat. At this time, the housekeeper of Cai Gongfu appeared and saw the three of them in a hurry. Fei Wuji rushed forward and grabbed the housekeeper: "Cai Fu, where is Cai Gong?" ”
"In the backyard, Childe's residence." Cai Fu replied: "Cai Gong said that it was too noisy in the bunker, which was not conducive to Princess Yingyi's injury, so Cai Gong took Princess Yingyi and Gongzi out and placed them in the backyard Gongzi's residence. ”
Fei Wuji turned around and was about to go to find Xiong Qiji.
"Sir, don't go, Cai Chengcheng is visiting Princess Yingyi's injury, and I don't want anyone to disturb me." Cai Fu said unhurriedly.
"What did you say?"
"Because Princess Yingyi was injured to save Cai Gong, Cai Gong couldn't rest assured, so I went to visit, hoping that Mr. wouldn't bother, and Cai Gong would come back in a while."
Fei Wuji listened to what Cai Fu said, standing in place, not knowing whether he should go or not, he had already guessed what Xiong Qiji was thinking.
The three of them stood in the courtyard for a while, but they didn't see Cai Gong come out. Suddenly, a flash of light shot into the backyard, and Fei Wuji and Gongzi Jizha looked at Zhan Wuxian in unison.
"I'm telling Cai Gong to hurry up." Zhan Wuxian said.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Xiong Qiji's voice came from the backyard: "Let the three of you wait for a long time, forgive your sins, forgive your sins." Xiong Qiji's body was wrapped in wounds, as well as blood marks, and he held a wooden plaque in his hand and handed it to Zhan Wuxian.
"Why is there no one in the house, where is the Divine Fire Soldier sent to you?" Zhan Wuxian asked.
"The war is tight, and I let them defend the city." Xiong Qijian said as he walked, "Go to the hall and talk." ”
After a few people sat down, Xiong Qiji asked, "Now that I can't hear the sound of shouting and killing, how about the display outside the city?" ”
"Childe defeated the enemy, and was left by Lingji, and the corpse beast pawn has retreated." Fei Wuji Dao.
"I didn't expect Lingji to come, and Cai Cheng's safety will be a few people." Xiong Qi said.
"If Gongzi strikes the enemy and does not break the city, he will definitely inflict a poisonous hand on Cai Gong, so that the dragons of Cai Cheng will be leaderless, and they will not be defeated. Please Cai Gong must stay in the house and don't go out and walk around at will. Zhan Wuxian said.
"I see."
"For the safety of Cai Gong, I stayed in the mansion to protect Cai Gong." Fei Wuji said.
"How can this work, guarding Cai Cheng is inseparable from Mr. Fei."
"I think so." Gongzi Jizha said: "Cai Gong is the lord of Cai City, and there can be no mistakes. Lingji said before leaving, she would not give up, if Lingji came to assassinate Cai Gong, Mr. Fei's Chengying Sword was Lingji's nemesis, and it was best to be protected by Mr. Fei. ”
At this time, a soldier came to report: "All the corpse beasts under the city have been withdrawn, and the strange thing is that they are carrying the corpses when they leave." ”
Zhan Wuxian exclaimed: "How many corpses are there on the battlefield now?" ”
"I don't count the villains, but there are quite a few of them."
"Come with me immediately, gather the Divine Fire Soldiers, bring tung oil, and burn all the corpses on the battlefield." Zhan Wuxian said as he walked: "Childe can summon corpses to resurrect when he strikes the enemy, and if he doesn't burn the corpses on the battlefield, the consequences will be unimaginable." I'll take my leave. ”
"Let's take a look at it below." Childe Jizha got up and said goodbye.
"Zhan Wuxian is a good person, but ......," Xiong Qiji said silently.
"I know." Fei Wuji looked at Zhan Wuxian's departing back and held the hilt of his sword tightly.
The smoke on the battlefield was billowing and thick everywhere, and the smell of burning corpses was suffocating and disgusting, and through the black smoke, the pillar of fire clouds in the distance gradually extinguished and disappeared. The corpse was burned for three days and three nights, during which there were still small groups of corpse beasts from time to time to snatch the corpse, all of which were repelled by the Caicheng army, and the two sides often broke out in a small war over the corpse, just like two groups of wild beasts competing for prey.
Until the fourth day, the corpse beast pawn did not come again. The scout has arrived: The corpse beast pawn has retreated into the city. After hearing this, everyone cheered: finally defeated the striker, finally defeated the striker.
"It was Mr. Fei's three swords that pierced the heart and stabbed the son to defeat the enemy, Mr. Fei should be remembered as the first major merit."
"I don't think so, I heard that Mr. Zhan first detained the key point of Gongzi's defeat of the enemy, so that he could not move, and Fei Wuji had a chance to make a move. Mr. Fei should be credited with the first major merit. ”
"Not really, if there is no Jizha Gongzi's ten thousand swords and flying smoke, whether he can defeat Gongzi and defeat the enemy is another matter."
"I also heard that there is a man in red clothes, who is even more powerful, let's be careful."
"What are you afraid of, we have Divine Fire Soldiers, Soul Warriors, and Soul Wood Soldiers."
“……”
Everyone talked about it, and all kinds of rumors about defeating Gongzi and striking the enemy spread in the army, most of them were Zhan Wuxian who first restrained the enemy, and Fei Wuji had a chance to succeed. All kinds of rumors spread to Fei Wuji, making him angry and indignant, why did Zhan Wuxian always press himself. At this time, only Kong Wan'er was by his side to comfort him.
The common people hiding in the tunnels heard the news that the defenders of Caicheng had defeated Gongzi and defeated the enemy, and the corpse beasts had withdrawn, and they came out one after another, and everyone's faces were filled with joy after the catastrophe, and they went home arm in arm.
Mo Wuya saw that Zhan Wuxian still had a sad face, and asked, "The corpse beast pawn has retreated, why are you still so worried?" ”
"Although Gongzi defeated the enemy, there is another Lingji by his side, and Cai Cheng's danger has not been lifted. Xicheng is only a hundred miles away, and the corpse beasts can reach it in less than half a day, and I don't know what they will do next, so I can't take it lightly. ”
"The soldiers and the people didn't seem to know that they weren't out of danger."
"It's been dozens of days, let them relax."
Mo Wuya leaned on Zhan Wuxian's arms, his heart was worried, a burst of sourness, and tears rolled down his shirt: "Let's go back, Chi'er is still waiting for Dad." ”
Zhan Wuxian looked into the distance and nodded, it was time to go back and see.
When Gongzi defeated the enemy and gathered a large army to attack Caicheng, the Central Plains princes and countries watched the fire from across the shore, they were afraid of the strength of Chu, and none of the vassal states dared to come to help, and Caidi had already been annexed by Chu and belonged to the territory of Chu. What's more, the countries of the Central Plains are willing to have civil strife in Chu, and they are all happy to watch from the wall and watch the excitement, as long as you Chu State does not come to fight me.
Cai Cheng was calm for nine days. Nine days later, 5,000 corpse beast soldiers gathered to attack the city, but were repelled by the defenders of Caicheng, and on the ninth day, 8,000 corpse beast soldiers gathered to attack the city, and were defeated by the defenders of Cai City, and on the 9th day, 10,000 corpse beast soldiers gathered to attack the city, and were defeated again and retreated to Xicheng. After several battles, some people in the defenders of Caicheng began to be proud, thinking that Gongzi had poor skills in defeating the enemy, and that was all he could. But what they didn't know was that during these attacks, there were nine pairs of eyes on the top of the mountain not far away, watching all this. When the last attack was thwarted, the nine men swayed and disappeared from the top of the mountain.
In the Xicheng County Guard's Mansion, nine people lined up, they were dressed in dark red robes, embroidered with fire-shaped patterns, and each person had long hair and shawls, some old and some young. At the top stood Lingji, talking to the nine men.
"You've all seen Cai Cheng's combat power, I don't know if there are any good ways to break through Cai Cheng?" Lingji asked.
An old man with gray hair among the nine replied, "The king has sent us to make all his subordinates obey his wife's arrangement." ”
"When did General Wear become such a mother-in-law, back then, you even dared to contradict the king, just say what you have to say."
"Since Madame said so, I will say it directly. According to my observation, Caicheng is guarded by Divine Fire Soldiers, Soul Warriors, and Soul Wood Soldiers, and the combat strength is still there, so we can only surround and not fight. ”
"Then when will we be able to break Cai Cheng?"
"As long as the enemy son is here, for three years, I don't have to worry about Cai Cheng not breaking."
"Haha...... Three years? The king can't wait that long. Lingji said: "The son of the enemy is recuperating from his injuries, and the siege of the city is no problem." I have a way to break Cai Cheng. ”
"Nine blades of the Eagle Stage, I would like to listen to Mrs. Gao's opinion."
"Did you send you to lead your troops to war?"
"Could it be that Madame is talking about ......?"
"Yes, tonight, the nine of you will do with me."
"Whoa!" The nine replied in unison.
Cai Cheng, in Cai Gong's Mansion, Xiong Qiji stood in front of Ying Yi's bed.
"Are you getting better?" Xiong Qiji asked.
"It's much better, I've been able to go to the ground, thank you Cai Gong for your concern."
"Drink this bowl of soup soon, if you don't drink it again, it will be cold. Now that the war is tight, there are no good things in the city, this is the secret system of the Chu King's Palace that is collected in my palace, and it is very good for sword injuries. ”
"I've already eaten Chang Xingjun's Seven Leaf Frost Dew, and my body is fine." Although Ying Yi said this, he still took the jade bowl in Xiong Qiji's hand, and the two of them inadvertently touched their fingertips. Xiong Qiji's heart fluttered, Ying Yi retracted his fingers slightly, his cheeks were crimson with shame, and he lowered his head and took a sip gently.
"Don't call me Cai Gong anymore, tell me to give up my illness." Xiong Qiji said: "If you hadn't sacrificed your life to protect you, I would be the one lying on the bed now, I really don't know how to thank you." Don't be so stupid in the future, hide behind me in danger, and I'll block the sword for you. ”
Ying Yi lowered his pink neck and blushed with shame. In the middle of the night, a lonely man and a widow are in the same room, and this man confides in him, and he is also the father of his beloved. Ying Yi was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to do, and fiddled with the sword spike of the sword beside him with both hands. This man, just because he blocked a sword for him, he came to visit every day, the first few times it was okay, there was Xiong Jian by his side, Xiong Qi came over to greet him and left. I don't know why Xiong Qijian talked so much this time, and Xiong Jian disappeared again, which taught her a lot of discomfort. I wanted to tell him to go, but I didn't know how to speak.
"Where has Xiong Jian gone, have you seen him?" Ying Yi asked.
"I'll send him to do something and I'll be back in a moment."
"Are you out of town? You also know that the martial arts built ...... You can't beat the corpse beasts. ”
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I just asked him to reassure the people, who are now in short supply of food and grass in the city, and the people have some complaints. I gave him a task to supervise the grain and grass in the city and distribute it to the people on time, so that he would be busier in the future, and let him experience the experience. ”
Ying Yi agreed, and stopped talking. Xiong Qiji saw that Ying Yi had been fiddling with the sword spike in his hand, so he asked, "That sword?" ”
"Sky Moon Sword."
"I heard that the Tianyue Sword is the number one sword in the Qin Kingdom, your injuries are not healed yet, be careful not to scratch yourself again."
"It's okay, our Qin country is still martial, everyone can go into battle to kill the enemy, and women are no exception. My injuries are no longer serious, I keep this sword by my side for self-defense, if the corpse beasts dare to attack the city again, I will use this Tianyue sword to kill them. Ying Yi showed an innocent expression on his face when he spoke, but in fact, he said secretly: Xiong Jian, if you don't come back soon, your father dares to be disrespectful to me, and the Tianyue Sword will be unsheathed.
Xiong Qiji didn't know what Ying Yi was thinking, and said with a smile: "It's rare to see a brave princess like you." Compared with the princesses of the Chu Kingdom, the princesses of the Qi Kingdom and the princesses of those Central Plains countries do not know that they are a hundred times stronger. ”
"The Tianyue Sword sharpens iron like clay, if you don't believe it, I'll try to show you." Ying Yi couldn't help but say, he had to try his sword when he got out of bed.
Xiong Qiji hurriedly stopped: "I believe, I believe." ”
"How can you know if you don't see it with your own eyes, don't move your sword."
Xiong Qijian had no choice but to do so and took out an ordinary sword.
"Straighten, don't move."
Xiong Qiji looked at Ying Yi, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and stretched out.
A cold light, just listening to the sound of "dang chang", the two swords collided, and the sword in Xiong Qiji's hand was broken into two.
Ying Yi jumped up proudly: "Look, believe it." Whoever dares to bully me, I will use this sword to cut him in two as well. The corpse beast pawn is here, and he is even more afraid. Then she "ouch" and fell to the ground. Xiong Qiji hurried over, helped Ying Yi up, picked her up, and carried her to the bed to lie down. Inadvertently, Xiong Qiji saw at a glance that Yingyi's neckline was loose, the beautiful jade neck extended into the underwear, and the pepper milk was raised, looming, like a mutton fat jade bottle, with soft curves, Xiong Qiji was so stupid that he forgot to let go.
Ying Yi pushed hard, but pushed a few times without pushing. Ying Yi's face was flushed and shouted: "Cai Gong, Cai Gong ......"
"Cai Gong." Fei Wuji said outside the door: "Childe is back, and he is outside the courtyard gate." Xiong Qiji woke up suddenly, let go of Ying Yi, walked out of the door, and happened to meet Gongzi Xiong Jian walking towards his room.
"Jian'er, Princess Yingyi's injury is not healed yet, come back early to take care of her after finishing her errands." Xiong Qiji called out to his son, Xiong Jian, and said, "Don't be greedy for fun, just go back to your room to rest if you have nothing to do." ”
"Yes, father-in-law." Gongzi Xiong Jian agreed: "But Princess Yingyi said that her injuries are healed." ”
"Well, I need to recuperate more." Xiong Qiji glared at him and walked out of the small courtyard.
"Mr. Fei, I don't think anything will happen tonight, you haven't been back to see Miss Kong Wan'er for a few days, you can go back tonight." Xiong Qiji said to Fei Wuji.
"But in case ......"
"I want to be alone for a while tonight, so you can go first."
Fei Wuji immediately understood Xiong Qiji's thoughts, and he thought that it was time to go back and see Kong Wan'er.
Xiong Qiji stood alone outside the courtyard gate, looking up at the sky, the bright moon was in the sky, the shadows of the trees were swaying, the providence was getting cooler, and the moonlight was exceptionally bright tonight. Xiong Qiji's shadow hung above Ying Yi's courtyard door, unwilling to leave for a long time, how he hoped that Ying Yi could appear at the door at this time, and said to himself: It's cold outside, come in and warm up. Xiong Qiji changed his mind again, and immediately dispelled such thoughts, he was afraid that if Ying Yi really came out, he would not be able to control himself, so he rushed forward, hugged Ying Yi, took her out of Cai Cheng, and never came back, not to be in the world. Thinking of this, Xiong Qiji raised his head to look at Mingyue, and sighed: "Princess Yingyi likes Jian'er, the two of them are a couple, how can I do such a despicable thing as a father, but Jian'er is ......." ”
