Chapter 15: Loyal Soul IV
After a while, Xiao Er came back with a pot of hot wine. Li Mu didn't say much, grabbed it, and drank the wine cup after cup again. Looking at it, the shopkeeper couldn't help but shake his head, looking at Li Mu's sad look, the shopkeeper knew that this must be a frustrated person, using wine to kill his sorrows. But he never expected that the drunken and smoky slender man in front of him was Li Mu, the 'God of War' of the Seven Kingdoms!
The drunkenness became deeper and deeper, and Li Mu had already been shrouded in a sad and indignant mood under the stimulation of strong alcohol, completely losing his usual calmness and wisdom, and the only trace of vigilance also turned into an illusory bubble with the glass after cup of bad wine!
Looking at Li Mu's depressed and drunken appearance, the young people on the side couldn't help but secretly and strongly feel a kind of anger and pity in their hearts!
At that moment, the earth suddenly trembled slightly, followed by the sound of horses' hooves rushing into the store with the howling cold wind. The drunken Li Mu was so drunk that he almost lost consciousness at this time, and he didn't have a trace of vigilance at all. Only the young man in the store slowly clenched the hilt of the sword under his waist with his left hand, but his face returned to his usual smile!
Gradually, the thunderous sound of hooves approached, and the trembling of the earth became more visible, so that even the tables and chairs in the store began to shake slowly, and the wine poured in the wine bar was also spilled out little by little in the vibration again and again. Xiao Er and the shopkeeper in the store couldn't help but look grim and gradually became serious, now when the army is in chaos, who knows if the comer is friend or foe, if it is the hunting Qin army, it will suffer!
In the blink of an eye, the galloping cavalry swept to the door of the inn like the wind, and then heard a roar of the neighing of war horses, and the cavalry stopped at the door of the inn. All of a sudden, nearly 100 knights stuffed the front of the small inn to the brim, and it was so lively for a while that people shouted and neighed!
The anxious shopkeeper and Xiao Er looked outside the door for the first time, and their mood suddenly relaxed: they saw that the people who came were all dressed as Zhao people, everyone was wearing blue uniforms, with a blue scarf on their heads, a sharp sword at their waists, and the tiger's waist-like body looked full of explosive power, and the demeanor was full of fierce murderous aura and boundless majesty.
The shopkeeper and Xiao Er's eyes were very poisonous, and at a glance, he knew that the comers should be a group of soldiers, and they were a group of very powerful soldiers. At the moment, the shopkeeper glanced at Xiao Er, Xiao Er didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face: "Uncle, are you eating or staying in the hotel?" β
The leader of the leader, a sturdy man in blue with a broad beard and a broad face, did not speak, frowned, and gently pulled it out with his hand, and pulled the shopkeeper out five or six steps away. The unlucky shopkeeper exclaimed, and sat on the ground with a butt that couldn't stop it!
Then the bearded and broad-faced man in blue shook off his big face and walked into the store, and nearly 100 people in blue behind him also dismounted, leaving only a few people to take care of the horses, and the rest of the people also entered the store together.
The experienced shopkeeper knew that something was wrong when he saw this situation, these people didn't seem to come to eat and live in the hotel, but seemed to be here to fight, and for a while he couldn't remember which uncle he had offended The shopkeeper with a smile on his face greeted him, and said with a smile: "Don't blame the uncle, it's all blame for the little two who are ignorant and inconsiderate, are you eating or staying in the hotel?" β
The man in blue who led the way didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper, but just inspected the store with his eyes, and at first glance he saw Li Mu, who was drunk and drunk by the window, while the other young man in white just swept his eyes and didn't stop at all. The blue-clothed man's eyes flashed, and he nodded at Li Muwei, and dozens of strong men in blue behind him hugged him, "Cangchang...... Cang Chang ...... pulled out his blades one after another and surrounded Li Mu in the center.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper suddenly 'hiccuped', rolled his eyes, and simply fainted to the ground. Xiao Er, who had just gotten up from the ground and looked indignant, was about to enter the store, and when he saw such a murderous scene, his legs suddenly weakened, and he turned around and smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and fled quickly!
The blue-clothed man in the lead said coldly to the white-clothed young man in the store: "The court is doing business, and the idle people will leave immediately!" In the face of such a shocking change, the young man in white who had been smiling all the time heard the words and said with a smile: "Although you are from Zhao State, I am from Qi State, and you Zhao State can't control me!" β
The blue-clothed leader turned pale when he heard this, and said with a cruel smile: "Okay, the sword will have no eyes later, if there is a mistake, Jiuquan will blame me!" With that, he walked towards Li Mu.
Wide steps came to Li Mu, looking at Li Mu, who was approaching the pursuers, but he was drunk and only cared about pouring wine and drinking himself, the blue-clothed leader couldn't help but sneer, arched his hand and said: "Li Mu, you are the former general of my Zhao country, but you are suspected of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and I, Zhang Bao, came to kill you on the order of General Zhao!" "The voice is like a brass bell, loud and deep, stern and solemn!
Hearing this, Li Mu reluctantly raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked left and right for a long time, as if he had only seen Zhang Bao in front of him clearly, and couldn't help but laugh drunkenly: "You-want to kill me?" Just - how many pieces of material do you have? Although Zhang Bao was furious when he heard this, he was very calm on the surface.
"Zheng-" Zhang Bao slowly pulled out the long sword under his waist, and suddenly a chilling murderous aura filled the entire store, and said in a cold voice: "Li Mu, you have defeated countless enemies in your life, no matter what your character is, I, Zhang Bao, respect you as an invincible famous general." I'll give you a chance to figure it out for yourself; If you don't, I'll do it myself! β
Li Mu's wine at this time woke up a little, stood up a little staggeringly, suddenly shouted, suddenly knocked over the long table in front of him to the ground, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, drink happily!" Come on, come on, I, Li Mu, have been on the battlefield for more than 30 years, and I have never been afraid of anyone, if you want to kill me, just let the horse come! β
When Zhang Bao heard this, he immediately said sharply: "Above, there is a reward for killing General Li Mushi!" When all the blue-clothed wrestlers heard this, they waved the heavy swords in their hands one after another, and roared and threw themselves at Li Mu. These blue-clothed wrestlers are only loyal to King Zhao's dead soldiers, and they don't buy Li Mu's account at all, so they are extraordinarily brave under the heavy reward, and everyone wants to cut Li Mu under the sword with one blow, so as to establish this miracle in the world!
"Whoosh...... Due to the large number of people in the shop, the blue-clothed wrestlers couldn't show it for a while, only the four or five people who rushed to the front waved the long sword in their hands and roared like thunder to take the lead in rushing towards Li Mu. Seeing that the long sword was about to hit Li Mu, and the blue-clothed wrestlers were about to be ecstatic, they suddenly felt as if a round of bright light had risen in front of them, and a brilliant and blazing white light appeared.
Under such a sharp white light, the blue-clothed wrestlers suddenly lost their eyesight. I was frightened and inexplicable, and suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my throat, and suddenly I felt a hot current gushing out of my throat, and then my head was completely dizzy and I didn't know anything anymore.
With just one blow, although Li Mu, who was superb in swordsmanship, was drunk, he also killed four brave blue-clothed wrestlers. Sure enough, he is worthy of being the 'Old Man in the Middle Hidden Quarter', and Li Mu's swordsmanship is the true legend of the old man!
The rising momentum of the blue-clothed wrestlers who were originally hungry for profit was suddenly depressed, and for a while, they cowered in front of Li Mu and no longer dared to attack easily. Zhang Bao was furious when he saw this, and said coldly with his eyebrows in his eyes: "Retreat the latter to death, give it to me!" β
"Kill-" The fierce blue-clothed wrestlers roared angrily under the urging of the military order, and besieged again. For a while, the small inn suddenly became lively: where the sword light flashed, the long tables and plans were chopped into pieces by the flying sword light; As the stumps flew alongside, the clean, tidy floor and walls were suddenly stained red with splatters of blood; With a scream, the wooden wall was shattered and filled with holes by the blue-clothed wrestlers...... And the people of Zhao Kingdom, who originally heard some movement and thought that there was something lively to see, suddenly saw the terrifying scene of sword light flying and blood and flesh splashing in the store, and they were immediately frightened and scattered!
It's just the blink of an eye, and the originally intact small shop was suddenly destroyed beyond recognition by this group of violent men, and it was crumbling. Although Li Mu was in danger in the siege of everyone, with his exquisite swordsmanship and narrow and favorable terrain, he was undefeated for a while, but he beat the blue-clothed wrestlers to the sky!
In the fierce fight of everyone, the young man in white had been quietly drinking in the corner and watching this tragic fight, and from time to time his mouth let out a 'tsk' exclamation: "Good, good sword!" is worthy of the world-famous general Li Mu! "Well played, what a vicious dog eating!" β¦β¦
Before he could say a few words, three blue-clothed wrestlers couldn't control their anger, roared wildly, and flew up. The heavy sword, under the urging of the vigorous arms, unexpectedly provoked a sharp and piercing roar, and slashed towards the white-clothed young man with murderous aura.
In the face of such an urgent situation, the young man in white still had a smile on his face, and he was not afraid at all. Looking at the three heavy swords about to reach him, Fang Cai's expression changed, and his hands slammed the table in front of him. "Flicker, flicker, flicker......" The table in front of the white-clothed young man spun and flew away violently, smashing his head into the three blue-clothed wrestlers.
The three blue-clothed wrestlers didn't have time to think about it, the heavy sword was like the wind, and after a crisp sound of "click, click, click......" The poor table suddenly fell apart and shattered into pieces of wood flying in the sky. And just when the sight of the three blue-clothed wrestlers was blocked and they couldn't get clear, suddenly a terrible sword light lit up in front of them.
After the three low and powerful sword winds, the necks of the three blue-clothed wrestlers were suddenly opened with three thumb-thick and tragic sword edges. In the mouth of the sword, the blood flowed out like a surging spring. The three blue-clothed wrestlers opened their eyes in disbelief, and they made a few 'gege' sounds in their throats, and they wanted to say something but couldn't say it, and they fell to the ground one after another after a muffled sound.
Zhang Bao, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes, and saw that Li Mu was gradually unable to withstand the siege of dozens of blue-clothed wrestlers due to drunkenness and exhaustion, so he turned his steps and slowly walked towards the white-clothed young man, and a strong and heavy murderous aura also surged over like crazy.
"Who are you who dare to go against my Zhao court?" Zhang Bao said coldly. After seeing the exquisite swordsmanship of the young man in white, he would no longer think that the young man in white was just an ordinary person!
The young man in white touched his nose with a grin and said with a grin: "My name is Wuxian, and I am known as the 'Sword Monster'!" As for why you are against Zhao Guo, I'm sorry, you are not qualified to know yet! β
Zhang Bao estimated the situation, and although he was a little unpredictable about the strength of the white-clothed young man who claimed to be unharmed, he was at least sure that the opponent's swordsmanship was terrifying. In order to avoid killing Li Mu, he said a little reluctantly: "What does that Venerable mean today?" It's just a misunderstanding that is so suitable, so Zhang Bao will treat it as if there is no such thing, and he can leave quickly. If you want to be nosy, don't blame Zhang Leopard for being ruthless! β
Harmless smiled and said, "Just now, you said that I didn't mean to, and I did it on purpose." Anyway, I saw so many of you bullying General Li today, and I was not convinced, and I was about to draw my sword to help! When Zhang Bao heard this, he knew that it was difficult today, so he couldn't help but say with a grim face: "Look for death!" β
Zhang Bao took a sharp breath, and his huge body suddenly slashed through an afterimage at an incredible speed, and the heavy wide-faced giant sword that was screaming and screaming slammed down. The huge and majestic momentum was like Mount Tai pressing the top, forcing the uninjured breath to suddenly rush!
Wuxian's complexion changed, obviously he didn't expect Zhang Bao's tall and sturdy body to have such a fast speed, so he hurriedly shouted unprepared, and waved the Xuantie Sword in his hand to meet him heavily.
"Whenβ" In a dull loud noise, Zhang Bao's face suddenly turned purple, but he took a step forward; But the uninjured face was white, and he took a step back.
Obviously, in the first round of the duel, Zhang Bao relied on his huge strength and speed to gain the upper hand! And without injury, there is no way to exert his exquisite and weird swordsmanship, and how can he not suffer a big loss if he only fights hard with Zhang Bao with his own disadvantages!
"When ββ, ββ, be ββ......" Zhang Bao, who was unforgiving, seized the opportunity, and slashed five swords one after another, eager to kill the uninjured to the ground in one fell swoop. And no injury under Zhang Bao's continuous strong slams, he couldn't resist it, he took five steps back, and under the sharp shock in his heart, he felt a sweet throat and a mouthful of blood gushed up.
In a hurry, he suddenly took advantage of the situation to attach the blood in his mouth to the internal force, and suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood rain to Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao suddenly felt a red mist rushing towards him, and he was shocked, and he was suddenly sprayed on his face when he was caught off guard, and he was immediately unable to see for a while under the severe pain in his eyes.
Seeing this, the long sword in his hand suddenly came out of trouble, and let out a clear dragon roar, and under the control of his right palm, it rushed straight to Zhang Leopard's heart like a spinning and roaring dragon.
Although Zhang Bao couldn't see for a while, his ears were still there, his feelings were still there, and he was horrified in his heart, and he swung a sword net in the sky to block the heavy blow without injury. "Ding Ding ......" In a crisp and dull sound of gold and iron, the spinning and roaring Xuantie long sword suddenly shattered the talisman sword net woven in front of Zhang Bao, and the sound of "pounce" submerged into Zhang Bao's lower abdomen!
The "Huh" sword entered the human body, and the strong sword qi also invaded together, instantly hitting Zhang Bao hard. Under the stimulation of the severe pain, Zhang Bao roared suddenly, and the eyes that were originally in severe pain immediately regained their vision, and the heavy sword immediately roared like a tiger and slammed down on the head, and was about to retreat without injury who wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue!
For a while, Wushu and Zhang Bao were seriously injured as soon as they joined each other, and neither of them could take much advantage, and they couldn't help but secretly admire the strength of the other party's swordsmanship!
