Chapter 97: Why didn't you avenge her?

As soon as Kutar's words fell, the iron fence opened again, and the third Hu Ren warrior came on the field.

This warrior named Hu He was different from the other Hu people, he was not particularly tall and strong, even a little shorter than Lu Ji, his back was a little rickety, and he looked a little older than the first two Hu warriors, the other warriors had their hair braided into small strands, but his hair was messy and unkempt.

It was clear that he was incompatible with those Hu warriors, but no one noticed his presence when he was drinking just now.

Is his presence too low, or is he deliberately avoiding the gaze of others?

Su Li frowned, staring directly at Hu He's back, always feeling that something was wrong.

As soon as Hu He came on the stage, the Hu people on the viewing stage let out an excited roar, which was not completely angry, but strangely mixed with a few ridicules.

Isn't this Hu He a warrior of the Hu people? Why do these Hu people make such noises?

Su Li couldn't understand such a phenomenon, and Lu Ji was also keenly aware of the slightest mistake.

He clenched the halberd in his hand, and pointed at Hu He opposite with sharp eyes, the halberd that had not yet been stained with blood flashed with a cold light, but Hu He kept hanging his head slightly and did not move.

After a while, a wine glass flew from the sidelines and smashed into Hu He's head with a bang.

"Rubbish! Don't hurry up yet! ”

Kutar scolded in Hu language, and the Hu people on the viewing stage also coaxed, although the others couldn't understand Hu Yu, they could hear the disdain in their tones.

Everyone was surprised, what's the matter, just two people died, and these Hu people began to make infighting?

The wine in that bowl of wine, although Lu Ji faintly noticed that there was a problem, he didn't have the energy to think about it, he settled down, picked up the halberd and rushed straight to Hu He.

Hu He didn't hide, just stood quietly.

It wasn't until the halberd was in front of him that he raised his head suddenly, and under his unkempt hair was a pair of dark and bright eyes, one of which was hollow and empty.

Suddenly looked at by such a look, ordinary people will have a kind of fear of being wrapped around the neck of a snake and scorpion.

Lu Ji's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes flashed with surprise and disbelief.

The forced force of the wrist caused the halberd to deviate by half an inch, and the sharp blade grazed Hu He's neck and stabbed it.

The entire school yard fell into a dead silence.

The eyes of the people at the observation deck widened in astonishment.

The general of the town wanted to kill the Hu warrior, but the Hu warrior didn't dodge, just raised his head, and let the general of the town miss it?!

What's going on?

The audience was in an uproar, but Kutar laughed out loud unexpectedly.

He knew it would be like this.

Kutar rarely had the patience to raise his hand and take a sip of hot tea from the teacup, and then looked at Chu Lingzhao with a smile: "Your Majesty, it seems that the warriors under your command are no longer good." ”

Chu Lingzhao frowned, he didn't expect such a situation, and was about to refute, Hu He on the field moved, he raised his hand to clamp the halberd, and with the other hand, he pulled out a short sword and stabbed at Lu Ji, Lu Ji let go of the halberd and quickly turned sideways, and his left arm was inevitably slashed.

The wound was not deep, but Lu Ji immediately frowned.

There is no pain in the wound, this short sword is smeared with medicine that can paralyze people's nerves, if you hit a few more swords, your body will be numb and unconscious, and you will even be unable to move, and then you can only be slaughtered!

Hu He didn't give Lu Ji a chance to breathe, threw the long halberd to the ground, and then rushed towards Lu Ji with a short sword, Lu Ji didn't dodge, while retreating, he tore off the hem of his clothes, and twisted it into a rope with a hard throw, and wrapped the sword around the moment Hu He's sword stabbed over.

Hu He slammed him into the iron railing, and with a bang, he received a heavy blow to his back, but Lu Ji didn't react at all, just stared at Hu He, trying to see something in his eyes.

Sensing his inquiry, Hu He grinned and spat out a pure Yuanzhao Chinese in an extremely hoarse voice: "General, long time no see!" ”

Like a terrible ghost crawling out of purgatory, asking for the life of the living.

"Gu Jiong! How are you? ”

Lu Ji called out another completely unfamiliar name.

It's been a long time since anyone has shouted the name.

Stimulated by the name, Hu He's eyes crept bloodshot little by little, and then there was crazy, almost overwhelming hatred.

"It's me!"

Hu He replied, the hand holding the short sword twisted hard, the cloth twisted into a rope shattered, and the fragments flew over, Hu He used his left elbow to clamp Lu Ji to the iron railing, and then hit hard with his right hand, Lu Ji raised his hand to block, and the short sword was crooked by an inch, inserted into the shoulder blade of his left shoulder.

There was a burst of exclamation from the observation deck, and everyone saw that the general of the town who was still full of confidence and provocation was stabbed by someone.

That man didn't look as tall as Akasawa nor as overwhelming as Brown Luo, and he even had a short sword in his hand, but he stabbed Lu Ji with a sword.

"Lu Ji, you're stupid! Fight back! ”

Chu Huai'an was the first to jump up and scold, and the others didn't dare to scold directly like him, so they could only shout anxiously: "General Lu!" You okay? ”

Of course, Lu Ji's situation is very bad!

The hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist, and Su Li felt the cold arrow sleeve on his wrist.

The arrow sleeves are so exquisitely made that they are perfectly hidden in the sleeves by the embroiderers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and no one will find out at all.

There were five short arrows inside, each of which was coated with poison enough to kill in a single blow.

Su Li slowly raised her wrist and quietly made an aiming motion.

She thought she wouldn't have a chance to use this, but the current situation forced her to be vigilant.

Lu Ji can't die!

Even if the emperor loses his trust, even if he gives up the face of a country, it is enough to exchange his life!

"Gu Jiong, why are you here?"

Lu Ji asked coldly, only looking at Hu He, and did not pay attention to the short sword on his shoulder.

Hu He seemed to enjoy talking to Lu Ji very much, he did not hesitate to draw out the short sword, stretched out his tongue and licked the hot blood on the sword's body, as if he was tasting something extremely delicious.

"All this, naturally, will be given by the defeated general!"

The tail dissipated, and a ruthless killing intent burst out from his eyes, and he raised his sword again, this time aiming at Lu Ji's heart!

Checkmate!

Su Li shouted in her heart, and was about to buckle the mechanism in her hand, when her shoulder was suddenly bumped, Chu Huaian ran past her while scolding: "Lu Ji, I'll grass your uncle!" You wait for Lao Tzu! ”

When the words fell, Chu Huaian jumped into the school field with one hand on the railing of the viewing area.

The viewing area was only four or five feet high from the schoolyard, but after he jumped down, he didn't stand firm, and fell into the mud.

Everyone: "......"

Master Hou, are you sent by the monkey to embarrass our Yuanzhao Kingdom?

The Hu warriors were also confused by this incident, and they didn't know for a while whether to accuse Chu Huaian of being unruly, or to laugh at him for being a weak chicken.

Everyone was distracted for a moment, and then looked back at the field, Hu He was kicked away by Lu Ji, and the sword did not stab Lu Ji.

Hu He took a few steps back, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lu Ji's kick was not forced.

At least it didn't have any effect on Hu He, just like Lu Ji just resisted to avoid that sword.

He's just defending, he's not attacking.

"Why did you change your surname Hu?"

Lu Ji asked, Hu He didn't answer, he rushed over again with a short sword, this time Lu Ji didn't dodge, let the sword stab him on the shoulder, and then grabbed Hu He's hand and twisted it fiercely.

With a click, Hu He's right hand dislocated, and he let go of the short sword, and Lu Ji kicked him away again.

Hu He stood in place with his shoulders covered and panting, his eyes were wild and animalistic, like two wolves fighting for territory.

Kaba.

Hu He took his right hand back, hooked his toes, picked up the long halberd on the ground and held it in his hand, Lu Ji pulled out the short sword on his shoulder inch by inch, and put his backhand in front of him.

However, in a short time, they exchanged blades.

It is very strange that after the exchange of weapons, there is no sense of disobedience in the hands of the other party.

Lu Ji is slender, not as rough as the Hu people, it seems to be more suitable for holding a sword, if he changes into a white dress and stands with a sword, he is a handsome and unparalleled knight, I don't know how many women in the boudoir will be lost.

And after Hu He picked up the halberd, he took a very standard lunge and leaned forward slightly, obviously his hair was unkempt, and the whole person looked a little obscene and dark, but he inexplicably revealed a bit of righteousness, which made people feel that if he bathed and changed clothes, he would also be a pretty man who couldn't take his eyes off.

"Gu Jiong! I ask why you changed your surname to Hu?! ”

Lu Ji raised his voice with anger, and when someone with better ears heard this name, his eyes widened.

Gu Jiong?

Is it Gu Jiong, the eldest young man of the Gu family who was wiped out twenty years ago? Wasn't he already dead? How is it still alive?

Speaking of the destruction of the Gu family, it was also a strange case in Yuanzhao Kingdom.

Before Zhao Hanzhuo, the iron-faced judge, was appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, three in the past, there was also a very famous Shaoqing of Dali Temple, that adult was called Gu Yunxiu, who was born in a family of case judges, and many of today's autopsy standards are based on the autopsy manual compiled by the ancestors of the Gu family.

Gu Yunxiu is different from Zhao Hanzhuo, although he deals with all kinds of bizarre murders and corpses, he is a very easy person to get along with, and he also has a good relationship with his colleagues in the DPRK and China.

The first emperor relied on him very much during his reign, but later because of the wrong judgment of a case, he was dismissed by the first emperor, and the family was exiled from Beijing.

At that time, everyone sighed, some people felt that Gu Yunxiu had made too many enemies for many years of solving the case, and he was bought to kill the door, and some people said that he knew some secrets and was killed by the powerful.

There were different opinions, and as time went by, they were gradually forgotten.

And the reason why everyone remembers the name Gu Zhi so vividly is because Gu Zhi once listed the names of Gu Yuanfeng and An Wuwu in the ears of the people of Yuanzhao Kingdom, Gu Zhi and Gu Yuanfeng not only have the same surname, the same age, and even the same talent.

A month before the Gu family's accident, seven-year-old Gu Zhi, Gu Yuanfeng, and An Jiada Shao'an had a world-famous prodigy dispute.

The three of them compared the poems and songs, and the poems they made were all astonishing, and they even made extremely sharp opinions on the state affairs at that time.

In the competition that day, Gu Zhi narrowly won by virtue of the skill of solving cases at home and became the first prodigy of Yuanzhao.

At that time, everyone was amazed by Gu Jiong's talent, and they also firmly believed that when he grew up, Gu Jiong would become a more powerful divine judge than his father Gu Yunxiu, but this prodigy died before he could grow up safely.

Everyone didn't expect that after 20 years, they would hear the name Gu Ji again, and it was in such a situation.

Zhao Hanzhuo and Gu Yuanfeng were also very surprised when they heard this name.

After Zhao Hanzhuo took over as Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he was familiar with the name Gu Yunxiu and the entire Gu family by consulting the previous files.

He hadn't met Gu Yunxiu, but he had learned a lot from the dossier left by Gu Yunxiu, and it was no exaggeration to say that in Zhao Hanzhuo's heart, Gu Yunxiu was half his master, and Gu Ji was half his senior brother.

Gu Yuanfeng and Gu Jiong have more bonds, because of the same surname, Gu Jiong has a special closeness and good impression of Gu Yuanfeng, Gu Yunxiu also takes special care of Yuanfeng, and invites Gu Yuanfeng to Gu's house several times to play.

Gu Yuanfeng has been smart since he was a child, and he naturally remembers things more clearly than other children.

He remembered that Gu Yunxiu was a very gentle person, but now that he thought about it, his later temperament was actually subconsciously influenced by Gu Yunxiu, and Gu Jiong was more like being carved out of the same mold as Gu Yunxiu.

If Gu Jiong grows up smoothly, he should be the title of the first son of Yuanzhao.

People who have seen Gu Yunxiu and Gu Zhi will probably never believe that Gu Zhi, the eldest and youngest of the Gu family back then, will become like this on the school field after many years.

The name Gu Ji was remembered by everyone again, Hu He was enraged because of this, he looked at Lu Ji with scarlet eyes, and let out a roar: "Yuanzhao is such a foul-smelling quagmire, it's not worth my life for it!" ”

His voice was louder than Lu Ji's, and he tried his best, and his throat seemed to be blown by the wind and sand, soaked with wisps of blood.

It was years of hatred and resentment.

It is also the cry of all the tragic souls of the Gu family.

The Gu family has never been at fault, it is Yuan Zhao who is at fault, it is this rotten royal family!

So he threw away the ancestral training of the Gu family, joined the Hu family, and gave the name of the Hu people!

It seemed that this was the scene that Hu He had been waiting for, and Hu He's roar made him extremely ironed, and he looked at Chu Lingzhao with great interest: "Your Majesty, the warriors of this king seem to have a deep relationship with you Yuanzhao." ”

“……”

Chu Lingzhao's face was solemn, from the moment the word Gu Ji came out, he knew the reason why Lu Ji couldn't do it.

The Gu family was wronged.

When Gu Yunxiu was dismissed, Chu Lingzhao was still young, and he only vaguely remembered that Gu Yunxiu had a loud quarrel with his father in the imperial study, and that time the quarrel was very serious, and Chu Lingzhao vaguely heard the name of the old Xiaoyao Marquis during the quarrel.

Not long after the quarrel, Gu Yunxiu was dismissed.

Combined with the sudden revelation of the will before, it is not difficult for Chu Lingzhao to guess that most of the disgrace back then was that Gu Yunxiu accidentally found out that Emperor Yue Zhao had left a will, and after telling the first emperor, the first emperor had murderous intent towards the old Xiaoyao Hou, and Gu Yunxiu did not agree with this move, so he would quarrel with the first emperor.

The first emperor was afraid that this matter would be leaked, so he dismissed Gu Yunxiu, and later on the way to exile, Xu is the first emperor and Xu is the queen mother were not at ease, and finally sent someone to destroy the Gu family.

"You're alive, why don't you come back to me?"

Lu Ji asked in a deep voice, he had no position to express his opinion on the matter of the Gu family's injustice, but there were some things he could.

Hearing this, Hu He sneered, he was just laughing softly at first, and then turned into a long laugh in the sky.

The laughter was so arrogant and sad that it made people feel very uncomfortable to hear.

Laughing enough, Hu He carried the halberd to attack Lu Ji, Lu Ji resisted with a short sword, and the halberd swept through with the blade, causing sparks and making a piercing sound.

Hu He stuck the halberd on the ground, grabbed the halberd body and jumped up with strength, grabbed Lu Ji's neck with his legs and twisted it hard, and the two fell to the ground at the same time, rolling in a circle.

Lu Ji was injured in the end, and he had some scruples about not making a dead hand, so his movements slowed down, and he was pressed to the ground by Hu He first, and punched him in the face.

"What are you looking for? Come back and continue to work for the faint king? ”

Hu He asked rhetorically, he was already extremely disappointed in the Yuanzhao royal family between his words, Lu Ji wanted to speak, but Hu He punched him in the face again.

The two punches were extremely forceful, and Lu Ji's face immediately appeared bruised, his ears even buzzed with some tinnitus, his collar was pulled up, and his neck was strangled and he couldn't breathe.

He heard the Hu people on the observation deck erupt in huge cheers, and he also heard the ministers of Yuanzhao calling his name, but all the voices could not match Hu He's extremely soft whisper: "You are not dead yet, why don't you avenge Ah Li?" ”

The word Ah Li, like a poisoned blade, was inserted into Lu Ji's heart without warning and with great precision.

Fatal pain.

There was incomparable sorrow and anger in his eyes, but in Hu He's eyes, there was only a dazzling irony.

He laughed and twisted fiercely, grabbing the collar of the halberd and slamming his head to the ground.

The back of his head made a muffled thump on the hard ground.

Lu Ji's vision was a little blurry, Hu He picked him up again, and maliciously leaned into his ear and said, "I heard that there is someone next to you, have you slept with her?" You've forgotten about Ah Li, haven't you? ”

"I didn't!"

Lu Ji retorted, but Hu He couldn't listen to his voice at all, and said to himself: "It's okay, it's okay if you forget." As he spoke, he grabbed Lu Ji's neck with his hand, and a trace of clarity flashed in that eye, and then there was a chilling demonic shock.

"Since you don't want to avenge Ah Li, then go and die, if you die, I can avenge her!"

After saying the last word, the five fingers tightened suddenly.

Xu is numbness in the shoulder injury paralyzed his mind, Xu is head was too badly injured, and Xu is the name Ah Li has been cherished in his heart for too long, and once he mentioned it, he dissolved all his defenses.

"Lu Ji, you get me up!"

An angry scolding struck, followed by an unknown thing, Hu He subconsciously raised his hand and grabbed a wooden sign, and the words 'Su Li' were written on both sides of the wooden card.

Su Li?

Hu He's eyes narrowed, and he paused for a moment when he tried to twist Lu Ji's neck, and he turned his head to look at Lu Ji: "It turns out that your new love is also in today's competition?" ”

This discovery made Hu He happy, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face for the first time in a long time.

"It's really fun."

Hu He laughed, ready to break Lu Ji's neck again, Lu Ji grabbed his hand and twisted it hard, both of them rolled on the ground twice, Lu Ji twisted Hu He's neck with his legs, and the two formed a clamping state.

Chu Huai'an lay on the edge of the iron fence unruly, looked at the field and scolded angrily: "Lu Ji, you drank a bowl of wine and played a drunken madness!" Don't hit him yet! Do you want to die? You don't want to die! Look who's behind you! When you die, she will be the first to bury you!! ”

Chu Huaian was roaring with all his might, but because his body was weak, his voice was not very loud.

As soon as Hu Ren saw that Chu Huai'an had fallen to the edge of the iron railing, he couldn't sit still, and they all got up and wanted to go down to the field and waved their flags and shouted at close range, and the Royal Forest Army, who was responsible for maintaining order, immediately stepped forward to stop them.

The Hu people were emotional and wanted to resist, but the Imperial Forest Army did not intimidate, and drew their long knives to fight them.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Chu Lingzhao still looked at the situation on the field with a calm appearance.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here? The competition is just halfway through, the outcome is undecided, and the marquis of your country has broken the rules, but he has made a big move against the warriors of this king? ”

"Wang Shang was only excited for a while, didn't he also throw a teacup on the field? My younger brother has a bad temper, and he can't see what others do, which can be regarded as a courtesy, and besides, the king has also seen it, he will fall down even if he jumps into the stands, even if he lies there, it is useless, and I will let people call him back. ”

Chu Lingzhao replied calmly, turned his head and gave the palace people a look, and immediately someone went down to pull Chu Huai'an.

This explanation is also reasonable, Chu Huai'an's status is different from others, he can break the rules, but those Hu people can't be as unruly as him.

Hu Tartar looked at Chu Lingzhao with a cold face for a while, raised his hand slightly, clenched his fists, and those restless Hu people gradually quieted down when they saw it, and the Imperial Forest Army also collected their swords, but they didn't leave, just surrounded there like a human wall, so as not to make trouble again.

Hu He still held the wooden sign with Su Li's name written on it in his hand and didn't put it away, in order to resist Lu Ji, this wooden card was blocked between them, like a knife full of cold light, splitting a huge crack between him and Hu He.

Those bloody and stale old things were unsealed, and an incomparably foul smell swept towards him, making him unable to distinguish between reality and memory.

Ah Li......

I am a gentle Li with water, not a separation.

Brother Lu, you ...... Why are you kissing me? My brother said it wasn't right.

Husband, I will be your wife from now on, I will bear children for you, and if you encounter any danger, I will stand in front of you.

Husband, what do you say is the name of our child? Lu knife? Lu Xiaojian?

He had listened to that delicate and soft voice for nearly twenty years, but now he could only hear it when he dreamed back at midnight.

He actually didn't dare to dream, for fear of seeing her being ruthlessly tortured in his dream, and afraid that she would grab him covered in blood and ask: Husband, I hurt so much, why don't you avenge me?

The brain fell into chaos, and the voices in his ears were empty and real, and finally turned into a sweet and shy whisper: Husband!

Burst!

Lu Ji turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, and every inch of bone in his chest screamed and hurt.

Maybe it's the blood that has just accumulated in the chest cavity of Brown Luo's foot, or maybe it's the stasis accumulated from the pain that has burned in the chest repeatedly in the past five years.

"Ahem!"

Lu Ji choked and coughed, his hand unconsciously lost strength, Hu He broke free from his clamp and jumped up, raised his foot to kick Lu Ji away, and then picked up the halberd and poked it on Lu Ji's body, and provoked meanly: "General Lu, stand up!" Fight with me! Let me see how capable the townside general is who climbed to the position of general by stepping on my sister's bones! ”

On the battlefield, the best tactic is to attack the heart, and the most taboo is naturally self-chaos.

Lu Ji's formation was already in chaos.

In Hu He's opinion, he is already vulnerable.

It's actually not interesting to kill directly, humiliating to death in front of so many people is the best way to die.

Lu Ji couldn't hear what Hu He was saying, but he still got up, his mind was messy, his voice was noisy, but there was a thought in the deepest part that told him that he had to stand up.

Stand up!

As soon as he stood firm, Hu He lifted the halberd and attacked, he deliberately humiliated, aiming at Lu Ji's right leg, wanting to break Lu Ji's leg first.

Lu Ji's body shook, let alone dodging, he couldn't even stand on his feet at all.

Seeing that the halberd was about to poke Lu Ji, a frightened and crisp exclamation swept through the crowd and pierced into Lu Ji's ear.

Like a dagger, tearing through the fog and pulling out a trace of clarity.

Lu Ji's eyes widened slightly, he turned sideways to avoid Hu He, raised his leg and kicked, the halberd body trembled, and he almost broke away from Hu He's hands.

Lu Ji stood firm, followed the sound and looked towards the viewing platform, and sure enough, he saw Su Zhan standing beside Chu Lingzhao in a snow-white brocade robe.

"Be careful!"

Su Zhan exclaimed, Lu Ji hurriedly turned around to deal with Hu He, his thoughts were surging so much that his head was almost exploding, and in this chaos, Lu Ji finally found his senses.

Ah Zhan can't be fine!

As soon as this thought came out, he suppressed his emotions, his chaotic mind returned to calm, and Lu Ji's response gradually calmed down.

Hu He was a little surprised, he didn't expect Lu Ji to be able to rebuild his heart defense so soon.

Syllable!

Lu Ji forced Hu He to retreat a few steps with a series of kicks, and the long halberd also came out of his hand, not giving Hu He a chance, Lu Ji kicked the long halberd out of the court.

The two were bare-handed, and only hand-to-hand combat remained.

"The general's temperament is really extraordinary, I thought you were so affectionate to my sister, it seems that it is nothing more than that!"

But that's it!

In just four words, Hu He made a judgment on Lu Ji's feelings.

But...... Who is he to judge?

"Gu Jiong, you and I know very well how Ah Li died, if she knew that you changed your surname to Hu, she would cry."

She's going to cry.

The last sentence of Lu Ji's voice was very soft, as if the bright and innocent girl was standing in front of him, which made him feel extremely distressed, and he didn't dare to speak loudly, which made her red-eyed.

"Shut up! You're not qualified to mention her! ”

Hu He was annoyed and angry for some reason, and rushed forward to fight Lu Ji hand-to-hand.

The muscles and bones of the two are all steel tempered in the sea of corpses and blood, and their fists and feet hit each other, both of them are hard-hitting, solid, wrapped in strong winds, and swept with wild killing.

Lu Ji had an injury to his left shoulder, and Hu He consciously attacked his left shoulder, and several punches and kicks hit the bloody wound on his shoulder.

Hu He kicked Lu Ji again, and Lu Ji took a few steps back and hit the iron railing.

The numbness in the wound spread to almost half of his body, and Lu Ji's movements slowed down a little.

Golden opportunity!

Hu He aimed at the opportunity, tiptoeed, and the whole person suddenly took off into the air, wanting to kick Lu Ji's head, and a child's cry suddenly came from the chaotic and noisy shouts: "Don't kill my father!" ”

The voice was heartbreaking, weak, helpless, terrified, and the most hated fragile creature of Huh.

Who's he's calling daddy?
