Chapter 51: The Nine Blades of the Eagle
Xiong Qiji turned around to go back, and saw a crack in the middle of the bright moon like a jade plate, and nine people jumped out of it, they were wearing dark red cloaks, long hair flowing, and holding nine different blades, standing in front of Xiong Qiji.
"Nine blades of the Eagle Stage, you are still here." Xiong Qiji was not at all surprised by their arrival, and was surprisingly calm.
"Meet Cai Gong." The nine people gave up the disease to Xiong, and the blade of the sword pierced the seal and said: "The king said, as long as you change your past mistakes, repent and reform, admit your mistake to the king, and dismiss the defenders of Caicheng." The king is not guilty of the past, and you are still the king's own brother. ”
"What if I don't agree?"
"Then don't blame our brothers for being ruthless."
"Wear the seal!" Xiong Qiji deliberately raised his voice and shouted, firstly, to embolden himself and intimidate the other party, and secondly, to let the sons of the courtyard Xiong Jian and Princess Yingyi hear, so that they could run away quickly: "Do you know what you are talking about? You dare to kill me? Don't forget how you swore in front of the temple of Chu State. As soon as these words came out, the nine blades of Fangyingtai were shocked.
Fangyingtai has been a secret organization of the Chu State since ancient times, serving the Chu royal family for generations, and in the coming-of-age ceremony of each generation, they secretly swore in front of the ancestral temple of the Chu State that they would be loyal to the Chu royal family, not to harm anyone in the Chu royal family, and to sacrifice their lives to protect the safety of the royal family members.
Each generation of Fangyingtai had to select nine people to serve as assassins of the royal family to spy on intelligence and assassinate dissidents for the king of Chu. If they are killed in the course of a mission, the Eagle Terrace will replenish the others in time to ensure the integrity of the Nine Blades of the Eagle Terrace. Being able to join the Nine Blades of the Eagle Terrace is something that everyone in the Eagle Terrace yearns for, as long as you join the Nine Blades, it means that you have been recognized in the Eagle Terrace and are the few characters in the Eagle Terrace.
The nine blades of the eagle platform are sword blades, knife blades, gun blades, whip blades, rope blades, palm blades, arrow blades, air blades, and axe blades, each of which has its own unique skills. The blade is a three-edged sword, each blade is extremely sharp, can be opened and closed, and the three blades come out at the same time, which can directly take the enemy's life; The blade is a slender square knife with a barb on the blade, which can hook the opponent's weapon and injure the enemy's life; The blade of the gun is the same size and length as the gun head, and the gun head can be hidden in the gun barrel when not in use; The whip blade is like a bamboo, and there are sharp blades of different sizes on each section, which can be used as a flying blade to hurt people in critical moments; The rope blade is made of white gold, and the two ends of the rope are equipped with steel blades like ears of wheat, and the rope body is like a white silver snake, which is usually wrapped around the waist of the rope blade; The palm blade is born in the palm of the hand, and the blade is the palm, and the palm is the blade; The blade of the arrow is the size of an arrow, and the shot is like a dart, but it is connected to the hand; The air blade is an invisible blade, formed by one gas, and the higher the skill of the person who uses it, the sharper it is; The blade of the axe is like two hooks and a crescent moon, and if it is combined, it is round, and if it is divided, it is missing, and it can be near and far.
As the eldest brother of the nine, he uses a sword blade. Listening to Xiong Qiji's questioning him, he was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer. The blade behind him said: "Duke Cai and the king are brothers, both are from the Xiong royal family, big brother, you have to think twice, Duke Cai can't be killed." Suo Blade, who was on the side, said: "Big brother, if we go back like this, the king will definitely not let us go, and besides, Madame is near the left, we can't go home empty-handed." Qi Blade also said: "This mission is related to the survival of Fangyingtai, and Cai Gong must be killed." The nine blades of the eagle platform will be successful every time, and if it is not successful, it will die. The others also said: "Big brother, if we don't kill Xiong Qiji, we will die." "Everyone, you say a word to me, most of them advocate killing Xiong and abandoning the disease, restoring the king's order, only the blade is fighting to persuade the sword blade to think twice.
"Can you kill me with just a few of you?" Xiong Qiqi pretended to be calm. At that time, Fei Wuji and other masters were not by his side, only a few Divine Fire soldiers were also separated by him just now, and now they don't know where they are. Xiong Qiji had to delay as much time as possible until someone came to relieve the siege.
Piercing Fengshu looked at Xiong Qiji, and said silently: "Gong Cai is offended." Come on, catch Xiong Qiji, and bring him back to the king. ”
"Wear the seal, you dare to ......" Xiong Qi was in a hurry, at a loss, and looked left and right while retreating, expecting a miracle to appear. As soon as the palm blade and the rope blade jumped over, they reached out and grabbed the bear to abandon the disease. Suddenly, two red lights flew in, and four Divine Flame soldiers stood in front of the Palm Blade and the Rope Blade, and more than a dozen Divine Fire Soldiers rushed behind them. Xiong Qi couldn't help but be overjoyed, a stone in his heart temporarily fell, and said, "These people are all assassins, kill them for me." After saying that, he turned around and ran, rushed into the courtyard where Ying Yi lived, and shouted as he ran: "Princess, Jian'er, run." ”
Gongzi Xiong Jian came out of his room: "Father-in-law, what's the matter?" ”
Xiong Qi hurriedly said: "The Nine Blades are here, call the princess to run." ”
Gongzi Xiong Jian heard the word Nine Blades, his legs and feet were weak, and he almost didn't sit on the ground, and ran to the door while agreeing, he knew the means of releasing the Nine Blades of the Eagle Terrace.
"Where's the princess?" Xiong Qiji asked.
"In ...... In the room. Gongzi Xiong Jian replied.
"Take the princess with you."
"Oh." Gongzi Xiong Jian turned around and went to Princess Yingyi's room.
There was a sound of killing outside the door, and it was strange that at the time of this tea, the Nine Blades had not yet attacked the small courtyard that was close at hand. At this time, Gongzi Xiong Jian helped Ying Yi out of the room.
"The princess on your back." Xiong Qiji said angrily. Gongzi Xiong Jian bent down and picked up Princess Yingyi on his back, and walked towards the door again.
"You stupid, there are nine blades at the door, jump off the wall and get out." Xiong Qi said urgently. Gongzi Xiong Jian turned around and walked towards the west wall, and after a few steps, his feet were weak, and he stumbled on the ground, and Ying Yi also fell.
"Ahh Ying Yi snorted softly and did not speak again.
Xiong Qi ran over to help Ying Yi up, and asked with concern: "Princess, does the fall hurt, how is the wound?"
"Out of the way." Ying Yi frowned bitterly. At this time, the sound of killing outside the door became faster and faster, and from time to time there were shouts of death and injury. Listening to the voice, the Nine Blades have the upper hand and are about to win. Xiong Qiji didn't care about the difference between men and women, Zhou etiquette rules, pulled Ying Yi up on his back, and ran towards the west wall. Xiong Qiji's injury actually did not heal, and then carrying Ying Yi, he hurt the old wound every step he took, and when he arrived at the west wall, Xiong Qiji found that he was carrying Ying Yi on his back, and he couldn't get out of the wall at all, and when he was anxious, Gongzi Xiong Jian ran over.
"Squat." Xiong Qiji said suddenly.
"Father, what are you going to do?" Although Gongzi Xiong Jian was not very happy, he still squatted down unnaturally.
Xiong Qiji stepped on Gongzi Xiong Jian's shoulder, jumped off the wall, then unbuckled his belt, threw it over the wall, and shouted, "Jian'er, hurry up and climb over." ”
Gongzi Xiong Jian still had a little bit of effort, grabbed his belt, divided three by five, and asked eagerly over the wall: "Father, what should we do now?" ”
Xiong Qiji said without thinking: "This is the closest place to Mr. Fei, go to Fei Wuji." After speaking, he carried Ying Yi and ran towards Fei Wuji's residence. Gongzi Xiong Jian followed behind and panted, Xiong Qiji glanced back at Xiong Jian, and felt in his heart that his son was becoming less and less worthy of Yingyi.
At the same time, the battle between the Nine Blades and the Divine Fire Soldiers was also coming to an end, with more than half of the Divine Fire Soldiers killed and wounded, and there were few people left who could fight. However, the Nine Blades felt more and more nervous, and they felt that a powerful murderous aura was gradually approaching, and the power of this murderous aura was far above the Nine Blades.
"Second brother, you go after Cai Gong." Piercing the seal and said to Fen Yang of the blade: "You know how to do it." ”
Blade Fenyang nodded: "Big brother, I know how to do it." Seven brothers, I will definitely come back. After speaking, he turned around and ran, his eyes unconsciously filled with tears.
As soon as Blade Fenyang left, Fei Wuji arrived: "Where is Gong Cai?" ”
Hearing Fei Wuji's question, he concluded that Xiong Qiji had not run far, so he smiled and said: "Our brother was ordered by the king to invite Cai Gong to go back to talk about family affairs, and he has already set off, and besides, this is a family affair between Cai Gong and my king, so you don't have to ask." ”
"I'll give you another chance, and if you don't say anything, none of you can leave."
"Just you? The Nine Blades of the Eagle Terrace are not intimidating. ”
"Look for death." Fei Wuji's one-third sword technique had already pierced the blade of the sword through the sealing door. Wearing the seal and raising the sword to block the attack, just after the two fought for a round, the left and right shoulders suddenly hurt, and looked sideways, the shoulder was cut at some point, and the flesh turned out, and the blood had flowed all over the arms. Looking at Fei Wuji's sword against himself, there is no special move. After another round, Piercing Fengshu suddenly felt that there were two more cold airs behind him, so he didn't believe well, it was too late to hide, if he continued to fight Fei Wuji like this, his back would be pierced, and he had to think of other ways. As a result, the piercing seal suddenly changed his moves, only attacking but not defending, as if he was going to fight for his life, and his swordsmanship accelerated rapidly, forcing Fei Wuji to retreat again and again. Then when the two cold qi were close to his back, he suddenly turned around and was a three-edged chain sword, breaking the two cold qi, and then he felt that his back was hit hard, and then his body flew out, and Fei Wuji, who was behind him, slowly put down his right foot.
All this happened only in an instant, and by the time the rest of the Seven Blades saw that the eldest brother had been defeated and went up to help, the Piercing Seal had already been kicked out a few feet away. The palm blade and the qi blade lifted the sword blade and pierced the seal, and the other five people each took weapons to surround Fei Wuji. Seeing that the door behind the five of them was wide open, he was completely defenseless, and hurriedly shouted: "Be careful behind, there are two invisible people." As soon as the words fell, the arrow blade and the gun blade screamed, and each sword was hit in the back, and immediately the flesh and blood were blurred, and a wound more than a foot long was exposed to the outside of the clothes. When the five blades were in a panic, Fei Wuji took an arrow step, and the Chengying Sword hit the whip blade directly, only to hear the sound of the bell, the rope blade made a move, and a flying blade the size of a dagger collided with Fei Wuji's Chengying Sword, and at the same time, the whip blade and the axe blade had already exchanged hands with the two stealth Hanguang Wuji and Xiao Lian Wuji.
The silver rope flying blade used by the rope blade, like a silver snake, swims back and forth around the rope blade, its speed is like flying, and it will spit out from time to time, and the attack fee is infinite. From a distance, it was like lightning struck from time to time on the rope blade. Fei Wuji continued to use the Chengying Sword to block the flying blades of the rope blade, and after a few rounds, Fei Wuji grabbed a flaw in the rope blade, dodged the oncoming flying blade, and the tip of his nose was attached to the silver rope, quickly approaching the close body of the rope blade, and stabbed out with a sword. It was too late for the rope blade to fight back, and he subconsciously dodged, and at the same time used the rope body to protect the vital parts of the body, only to see the tip of the Chengying Sword stabbed into the lower abdomen of the rope blade, and then looked closer, where the Chengying sword stabbed, there was a silver rope struggling, and the tip of the sword was inserted on the silver rope, and finally did not pierce into the flesh of the rope blade. Rao was like this, and the rope blade was also raised to the pain of the lower abdomen, as if the tip of the sword really pierced in. The Rope Blade immediately retracted the Rope Blade Flying Blade and hit the back of Fei Wuji's head. Fei Wuji struck back with a sword, and the rope blade jumped out of the circle, and when he fought Fei Wuji again, his moves slowed down, and there was only defense and no offense.
The rope blade on this side is only parrying, and the axe blade and whip blade are not much better. I saw that the two of them stopped fighting, looking for the invisible Hanguang Wuji and Xiao Lian Wuji while fighting, and each of them had several sword wounds on their bodies, and they were obviously at a disadvantage.
Seeing it in his eyes, he was anxious, and said to the palm blade and the qi blade: "Leave me alone, go help them, don't watch your brother being killed." ”
"But." The palm blade said: "Big brother, you ...... Your injuries? ”
"I can't die, go quickly." Piercing the seal, his eyes widened and he said angrily.
"Whoa!" Palm and Air Blades fly to join the warband. The palm blade turned into ten blades with the ten fingers of both hands, cutting through the air, first helping the axe blade to deal with Xiao Lian Wuji, the two of them back to back, listening carefully, as soon as there was a murderous approach, they each made a trick to block, but it was also mostly a defensive move. The qi blade rushed to the front of the formation, using Xuan Gong, and immediately a cloud of blade qi surrounded the body, jumped in front of the whip blade and said, "You go to help the fourth brother first, and I will deal with it here." ”
"Be careful." The whip blade flew out of the circle, and immediately joined forces with the rope blade to fight Fei Wuji.
The Qi Blade stood in place, surrounded by mist, and countless blade qi scurried inside, looking for the invisible Hanguang Wuji.
At that moment, Fei Wuji had the upper hand, his eyes swept over the nine blades present one by one, and when he saw the seal, Fei Wuji suddenly wondered in his heart, and said secretly: There is one less, where did that one go? If the one missing is not good for the bear abandonment disease or threatens me with the bear abandonment disease, it will be tricky. If anything happens to Xiong Qiji, my efforts over the past few years will be in vain. Thinking of this, Fei Wuji's body suddenly flickered, and he grabbed the blade of the sword to pierce the seal, and the Chengying Sword had already resisted the neck of the sealer, and the blood of the thin gossamer could not stop being sucked into the sword body by the Chengying Sword.
"Tell me, where's the other one?" Fei Wuji asked, his voice not very loud. But the other seven blades, whether injured or not, all surrounded them at the first time.
"Let my eldest brother go, or I'll be rude to you. You dare to be unfavorable to my eldest brother, our brother will die with you if he fights for this life......" Seven Blades shouted one after another.
"I'll ask one last time." Fei Wuji didn't look at the Seven Blades at all, and said coldly, "Where is the other one?" ”
"Let my big brother go!" Seven Blades shouted.
In the midst of the noise, I heard the sword blade piercing the seal and said lightly: "The second brother will definitely survive, so that the nine blades of our eagle platform can be passed on from generation to generation." Although the voice was faint, the Seven Blades and Fei Wuji could hear it very clearly. As soon as the words of the piercing seal fell, I heard Kong Wan'er's exclamation in the distance, and at the same time, a blood light shot out, Fei Wuji's figure was gone, and with it, dozens of divine fire soldiers descended from the sky, surrounding the Seven Blades.
At this time, the Seven Blades had been seriously injured, and they had no power to resist the sudden Divine Fire Soldiers.
The corpse of the seal had fallen in a pool of blood, and the head was not far from his corpse, quietly watching what was happening in front of him: his brothers were being killed by the Divine Fire Soldiers, falling one by one. Little by little, they crawled towards themselves, and there were endless traces of blood behind them. His eyes hadn't closed yet, but it was already dark.
Xiong Qiji took Gongzi Xiong Jian and Ying Yifei Wuji to the door of the house, and Gongzi Xiong Jian went up and knocked on the door panel urgently.
"Fei Wuji, Fei Wuji, open the door quickly."
After a while, the door opened, and Gongzi Xiong Jian grabbed the hands of the person who came, delicate and soft, and didn't think much about it, and said hurriedly: "There are assassins, there are assassins, Fei ......" looked up, where did Fei Wuji come from, it turned out to be Kong Wan'er.
Xiong Qiji said: "Where is Mr. Fei?" There are Assassins after us. ”
"Brother Fei said not long after he came back, he heard that there was an abnormality in Cai Gongfu, and now he has rushed to Cai Gongfu, but I didn't expect Cai Gong to arrive first, didn't you see him?"
"No, how can that be?"
"Cai Gong might as well come in first, if Brother Fei can't find Cai Gong, he will know that you have arrived, and he will definitely rush back."
"It's fine." Xiong Qiji agreed, and walked inside the door with Ying Yi on his back.
Kong Wan'er saw Ying Yi on Xiong Qiji's back, her eyebrows tightened, her face was unbearable, and she asked eagerly, "Princess Ying Yi, what's wrong with you?" Your injuries seem to be serious again. ”
"Princess Yingyi's injuries were about to heal, but who knew that the assassin suddenly attacked, causing the princess's old injuries to recur, and now she can't even walk, only I will carry her." Xiong Qijian walked to the courtyard and replied.
Hearing Xiong Qiji say this, Ying Yi said with difficulty: "Don't get in the way, let me down, I can go by myself." She felt that it was inconvenient for her to be carried by Xiong Qiji, and besides, this person might become her father-in-law in the future.
Somehow, what Ying Yi said, Xiong Qiji didn't persuade him, he slowly put Ying Yi down, and was about to speak, when he looked up and saw that there was another person in the courtyard. Immediately, Xiong Qiji gasped and helped Ying Yi take two steps back.
"Blade Fighting!" The bear abandoned the road.
"Exactly." I saw the blade Fen Yang holding the blade knife on his back, approaching step by step.
"What are you going to do?" Xiong Qiji's voice trembled a little, and at the same time he protected Ying Yi behind him.
"Cai Gong, I don't want to kill you, I just want Cai Gong to save our lives as brothers in Yingtai."
"How can I save you?"
"As long as Cai Gong goes back with me."
"What if I don't go back with you?"
"Then don't blame me for being offended." The blade Fen Yang suddenly took out the knife and pointed at Xiong Qiji.
At this moment, Blade Fenyang involuntarily shrank his hand back an inch. A wisp of green silk floated gently, and one of them hung on the back of Fen Yang's hand, but he felt that such a slender hair weighed like a thousand catties, and Fen Yang could no longer push the blade in his hand forward.
