It was as if his head had been struck by something in vain, and all the sounds of heaven and earth were inaudible for a moment.
The bright silver spear was a little dull from the rain, the blood was shaking and dripping on the head of the spear, and some manic little white horses kept trampling on the spot under them.
The picture in front of me swelled silently.
The iron cavalry poured from the majestic and magnificent city wall, above the city wall was the dark clouds that suddenly began to roll wildly, the heavens and the earth suddenly lit up, after the darkness, the rain stained the sky and the earth more and more gray, the iron cavalry armor under the city was even more uniformly dark, the human face could not be seen clearly under the helmet, but the faces of those horses looked numb and ferocious, interspersed with several red flags hunting and flying, and then ......
Crashed into the crowd of people in colorful clothes.
The horses collided, and the crowd was scattered in an instant. Under the spear and iron spear, blood and white pulp burst out from one black dot after another, as fragile as a broken wine jar. At the same time, clothing, blood, long hair, weapons, severed arms and stumps...... All sorts of things flew.
Zhao Yun never knew that people could easily fly so far, and blood water could easily burst so high......
Then the things fell, and some of them were carried forward by the cavalry in the lead.
The horses rushed extremely fast, in groups, without hesitation, and when the horn sounded, there were still hundreds or thousands of paces between the two sides, and in an instant, the cavalry was like locusts devouring the crops, and like a black torrent, drowning the people who were ahead.
In the field of vision, countless people were fleeing, several familiar faces had already run behind him, the original fight was long gone, even those who had been assassinating Zhang Yan before were terrified and angry, and they didn't know what they were saying with their mouths open, and then they either ran in his direction, or struggled to flee to the front of the retreat of the crowd, trying to be faster than everyone else.
He only glanced at it, and the rear of the cavalry had already crossed the front of the crowd that had just been broken through, where the ground was covered with blood and corpses, and there were people who had been knocked to pieces wailing, and even the occasional horses could not stand up, and the rider raised his bloody hand as if to cry for help.
How, how could this be......
Zhao Yun's eyes were red, and his face was extremely white.
He squeezed the Yajiao gun, pinched it hard, the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, and his legs clamped the little white horse hard, and the chaotic brain saw the iron horse chiseled through the crowd unscrupulously in front of him, and his blood surged, and suddenly his right calf kicked the little white horse hard, and the reins shook hard, and he opened his mouth and shouted in the roar of thunder: "Drive!" β
The little white horse stepped, stepped ...... But he stayed in place, his back was upturned a few times, as if he was kicking backwards, Zhao Yun looked behind him, and the broad face of Ping Han appeared in front of him, one hand was steadily pulling the ponytail, and the bloody face was solemn and opened his mouth to say something.
"Let it go! Let it go! β
Zhao Yun shouted a few times, and was so angry that he raised his gun and stabbed it.
The spear was caught, and the next moment there was a pain in his side, and his back slammed into the stone in a whirlwind, and the pain almost made him breathlessβhe was knocked down.
The lightning lit up, and he saw Zhang Yan, who was covered in bloody clothes, sitting firmly on the back of the horse, the arrows inserted in his arms were swaying slightly, his long hair was scattered and drooping down, and only two blood-red eyes mixed with anger, uneasiness, and pity were revealed when he looked down condescendingly, and he opened his mouth while turning the horse's head: "Luo Shi, take this idiot into the forest!" β
He was hugged by Luo Shi under his armpit, his vision shaking wildly, and the lightning and thunder flickered and dimmed.
The cavalry did not seem to be many in number, only five or six hundred, and they made a U-turn in the distance through the crowd, and for a time only the chaos continued in front of them, and people ran everywhere to dodge, some snatched horses and wagons trying to go away faster, and some even stopped to see in what direction the U-turn iron horsemen were heading.
Zhao Yun opened his mouth and shouted: "Run!" Don't stop! Don't stop! β
Luo Shi roared angrily in his buzzing ears: "Lao Tzu knows! Don't ...... you turtle grandson."
The voice stopped abruptly, his vision paused, and the power around his waist suddenly tightened, almost about to strangle his bones, but Zhao Yun had no time to care, and looked at the sky with lost eyes.
The already dark sky on the other side suddenly became even darker.
A flash of black suddenly appeared, dancing towards it like a swimming dragon.
Then the black dot fell and knocked the man on the other side of the "River of Blood" ploughed by the iron horse to the ground, and the big man had an arrow stuck in his body.
Immediately after, on the opposite ground, people, donkeys, horses, and carts...... Countless arrows sprung up after the rain, blood flowers exploded, the sky and the earth were clear, the roar seemed to be more intense, and the crowd here surged more and more frantically after being relieved.
"Put me down! I swore it, I swore it! I'm going to kill them! I'm going to kill them! β
Zhao Yun struggled frantically, but after howling, his vision became farther and farther away from those tragic scenes, farther and farther away, and finally blocked by trees, and in the last few moments, he also saw the cavalry rushing towards this side, but his ears seemed to hear the sound of a hammer coming from the farther direction of the cavalry, but there was no chance to confirm it.
The sound of the waves in the forest echoed heavily, and it was not much more peaceful than outside.
There was chaos in his mind, Zhao Yun drooped down with his hands and feet, and looked at the grass and rotten leaves on the ground with his eyes distracted, and a crooked path was ploughed out by his hands, and at a certain moment, his stomach surged and he vomited.
The vision was blurred, the vomiting lasted for a while, and the body that was out of strength was also clamped and tossed for a while, and after a long time, the jolting finally stopped, but the arm that was holding his waist tightened slightly.
He slammed his hands together, and the arm suddenly loosened, causing him to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, his arms were supported so that his whole face did not hit the dirt, and he gasped, turned over, closed his eyes, recalled those cruel images, and let the tears and rain flow on his face for a while.
He originally hoped that Ping Han would comfort him a few words, or Zhang Yan would come over and scold him, but nothing, he thought of the master, at this time, the master should comfort him, and the master could not give up on him and go first......
He thought about it, wiped his tears and opened his eyes, only to find that Luo Shi was standing beside him with stiff movements, his face was shocked, his head was crooked, Zhang Yan, Yang Feng, Ping Han, and even Cai was angry...... Many people were pale, their movements frozen, and their eyes were looking ahead with complicated eyes.
He felt a little uneasy in his heart, and got up, and at the end of the forest, many, many well-dressed or armored people were standing, looking at the clearing in front of them with complicated faces.
And in that clearing, an old man with gray hair and dressed in fine clothes stood, and another man in ragged clothes and long hair knelt in front of the old man with his back to him, and a sword chiseled through the man's body, and the tip of the sword peeked out from his back, where blood was flowing and stained his back.
Zhao Yun was stunned, he recognized the clothes of the kneeling man, it was ...... Master?!
That's Master!
He grabbed it in his heart, tears welled up in his eyes, and then wiped it vigorously, only to realize that this scene was indeed happening in front of him.
He couldn't believe that the invincible master in the world in the mouth of others would die in front of people so suddenly, and Cai Nu and those people didn't even die!
The Yajiao gun was in Ping Han's hand, he gasped, his eyes were blood-red, and his body was groggy and ran upside down to grab the gun, and then ran in stride, running out of the forest and the crowd, shouting as in the past: "Master takes the gun!" β
It was like a roar.
And the Yajiao gun was firmly inserted beside the master, and the master raised his hand, but he did not change the Yajiao gun.
The withered right hand slid from the spear to the ground, its five fingers spread, supporting its body and twisting it, an amiable smile appeared on its wrinkled face, blood flowed wantonly on the side of the mouth with the opening, "Zilong ......"
β¦β¦
Time goes back to before.
Tong Yuan drove the carriage through the forest for a while, then stopped at the edge of the clearing, turned his head and shouted: "Zilong, you are here to protect Cai Gongzi and go to ...... for the teacher."
More than a dozen guards chased after him, but there was no figure of Zhao Yun, Tong Yuan was stunned, Cai Nu jumped down from the carriage, and inquired around to find that Zhao Yun was startled after dragging a few assassins outside the forest, and hurriedly ordered several guards to return to look for him.
"Or I'll ......"
Tong Yuan opened his mouth, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw that on the bank of the river next to the clearing, there was a fishing man who looked over with a hat, his face was quite old, and he was also shocked at the moment, and then asked with a familiar smile and tone: "Zilong?" I haven't seen you for a long time, and you've taken in apprentices again? β
"You ......"
Tong Yuan was stunned, seeing that the other party's index finger was silent at the side of his mouth, and glanced at Cai Nu beside him, he also closed his mouth, then thought about it and asked the guards to bring Zhao Yun back.
"Xiongfu Gong?"
Cai Nu leaned up and shouted softly in some confusion, staring at the unknown origin of the Celestial Weng and the young man beside the Celestial Weng.
"It's okay...... He's here, and it doesn't matter. You go and wait for a while. β
Tong Yuan shook his head, but he also clenched his spear and walked over, and the man smiled when he heard this, "Old man, what do you mean I'm okay?" If I really have the ability, can it still happen outside the city? But you...... It doesn't look like he's here to hunt. β
"Hunting?"
Tong Yuan stood aside and looked at the young man, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, almost the same age as Zilong, he raised his eyebrows slightly as if he had thought of something, and looked at the young man.
The young man was not at all frightened by Cai Nu and the others who suddenly appeared, but looked at Cai Nu with a slight frown, then looked at Tong Yuan a few more times, and asked in a low voice, "Master......"
"You go upstream and call Yuan Situ, Yuan Gongxi, Zhu Guanglu, and Cao Yilang...... Anyway, they didn't bother to fish, so let them come over and watch the duel...... Hehe, reunited after a long absence, there must be a fight. It's good that you and I are cathartic. β
Ling Weng put down the fishing rod and picked up a sword on his side, the sword sword, the sword Xuan, the sword head, the sword grid is not lacking, the gold, jade carving, is absolutely the top grade.
Also at the moment when Ling Weng picked up the sword, Cai was stunned, listening to the whispers of the four guards who couldn't stop whispering, thinking about the official position of Ling Weng, Fu Zhi shouted in his heart: "Zhongxing Sword? β
"Insightful."
Ling Weng smiled and looked at Cai Nu a few times, looking at the outline of Cai Nu's face, he also frowned slightly, and he didn't know what he thought, and then saw the young man on the side holding the saber on his waist with a vigilant expression, and patted the young man's calf with a smile, "You just go." Don't delay. Remember to let them all come over, one less I'll break your leg. β
The young man hesitated, "Master......"
"This sword is a gift from the Holy Heaven, and anyone else who takes it is tantamount to rebellion. I know everything about this old horseman, and I'm afraid that he will get lost? Or do you think that the teacher is surrounded by these six people, so you ......"
"Whoa!"
The young man hurriedly clenched his fists, but he seriously glanced at the faces of Tong Yuan, Cai Nu and the others, and then hurriedly ran away.
"Shia, let him follow him when he's fine. Later, he also became a master and apprentice. Hehe, it's far worse than your apprentice...... After knowing that after the break, there is blood. He's ...... I know how to look at people's faces. β
Na Ling Weng watched the young man run away, patted his ass and stood up, took off his hat, and looked around the forest with an old and dusty face, "Lingkun Garden, a good place for sightseeing, hunting and fishing, five years ago, the Holy Shang broke ground to build and shared with the people...... The landscape is good, right? β
He glanced at Tong Yuan's clothes and said with a smile: "I don't think you have seen it before, and you are not here to see it." What's going on? Are you interested in telling me? β
Cai Nu thought for a while, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Excellency should be General Huben, Jingshi Wang Yue." I'm waiting for this ......."
The four guards couldn't help but exclaim, Tong Yuan smiled, "Chased and killed by Zhao Zhong's people." β
Cai Nu's heart suddenly burst out, Tong Yuan smiled and arched his hand: "I almost forgot, you and I have different identities, and I asked Master Wang Jing to forgive me for my rudeness." β
"Wang Jingshi ......"
Wang Yue folded his hands and pressed the jade sword head, looked at Tong Yuan with his sword, his body was lying casually, and his face sighed: "If you want it, it's not a matter of words?" Why did he fall to the place of being chased and killed by Zhao Zhong...... After? β
With his back straightened, Wang Yue held the sword and froze, and after some hesitation, he still spoke: "What's the matter?" β
"It's the most serious one. Wait a minute...... Could it be that you called Situ and the others over, and really wanted them to come and watch a show? Can you introduce me to avoid disaster? β
Tong Yuan chuckled and said, "Master Wang Jing, I heard from my junior brother that you didn't mix well, but now looking at your shallow and self-asserted deeds, it's not the case." β
The sword in Wang Yue's hand became tighter and tighter, but he also smiled: "Zicai is not with you?" β
"You really want to compete?"
Tong Yuan's face turned grim, "Don't let your apprentice come back?" β
"It doesn't seem to be there."
Wang Yue didn't answer, his body relaxed, took off the clothes on his body, then dusted off his clothes, and said with a smile: "That guy is the most impulsive, if you have three long and two short, I'm afraid that you will have to fight with me again." Now that I'm older, I can't afford to toss. β
"So don't toss? Let the people outside the city be murdered by traitors? β
Tong Yuan wiped the spear and rolled up his sleeves, but he pondered Wang Yue's words in his heart.
"I want to too, don't you see that even Situ Yuan Ciyang is fishing here? The rest of the three princes and nine kings are almost the same, not to mention me...... To put it nicely, General Huben and Jingshi, to put it mildly, isn't it just a personal guard, when you use it as 'Jingshi', and when you don't use it, you will be an 'old horseman'. β
Wang Yue rolled up his sleeves, walked to the open space, and said in a steady tone: "After all, it is not as good as the blood and affection, and the merit of welcoming the emperor...... It's raining heavily, go back and drink ginger soup together? β
"Then I have to die."
Tong Yuan said, Cai Nu's face was solemn, and he secretly gestured to the four guards.
Wang Yue glanced at Cai Nu, but he didn't open his mouth to warn, turned his head and frowned, "You don't want to go back with me?" β
Tong Yuan also walked to the open space, under the baptism of rain, his face was extremely solemn, "I want to save people." β
