Chapter 430: Glimpse of Light
In the dark night, Yue Qianqiu and the little monkey guarded Xiao Jingxian left and right, sitting behind the weeds on the side of the road without any grace, and no one spoke. In such a night with only the sound of whirring wind, Yue Ying was gone for a long time, and as when the little monkey left just now, no movement came back, as if there was only a dead silence ahead.
Even though he hadn't walked before, Xiao Jingxian's face was still quite pale, and dealing with the emperor during the day and appearing in front of people afterwards had consumed a lot of his energy, so he was still closing his eyes at this time. And the little monkey had just run away and killed two people, even if he couldn't see the blood-splashed appearance when he killed in the dark, but after the excitement of killing alone for the first time, he was still a little wilted.
As for Yue Qianqiu, he played with a dagger in his hand, dexterously allowing it to leap and jump between his fingers, but what he thought about was what Yue Ying had said to him before. Although he has no intention of changing his career to become a professional killer, he has to consider the possibility of playing the dagger with flowers when he has no weapons in his hands.
So, after thinking about it, he walked around to the little monkey and whispered to him for advice on how he had just killed the two Blackwater Guards in the night. The little monkey was still showing off his achievements vividly, but at this time, he was reluctant to mention this stubble again, but Xiao Jingxian chuckled: "You might as well ask me if you ask him, I have more experience than him in this kind of thing as breaking people's necks." ”
Finding that the little monkey's face in the night was like earth, Yue Qianqiu decisively let go of the little guy and went back to Xiao Jingxian's side. Listen to the man explain to himself which part of the neck is more likely to kill with a single blow, and where the dagger is more deadly from the chest or back...... The more Qianqiu listened, the more terrified he felt, and in the end, his eyes when he looked at Xiao Jingxian were full of indescribable suspicion.
If Yue Ying taught him this, it would be normal, but your Royal Highness the King of Jin, did you ever change your career to be a killer assassin?
"I have a sister who is too powerful, a brother-in-law who is the most noble of the Ninety-Five, and I myself am also absurd and unscrupulous, I can't remember how many times I have been assassinated." Xiao Jingxian seemed to see Yue Qianqiu's question, and smiled nonchalantly, "No matter how many guards there are, you can't prevent it, so most of the time, I prefer to solve it by myself and practice it." Over time, you will naturally have more experience than a pampered son like you. ”
Yue Qianqiu was completely speechless. In the past, he thought that Beiyan could live unscrupulously, but now it seems that this place is the enemy of the king and the law, and he will feel very happy in a day or two, but after a long time, the pressure of precariousness is too great. Only a madman like Xiao Jingxian and Xiaosi will like Beiyan more!
And hearing this heavy answer, even the little monkey who was a little languishing couldn't help but throw away a little bit of the psychological burden after the first killing. In order to force himself not to think about the murder, he fell to the ground again and listened, which was originally just a casual move, but he followed it with a cautious expression.
Gesturing to Xiao Jingxian and Yue Qianqiu, he whispered, "There is the sound of horses' hooves, at least dozens of people came from the direction we came from before." ”
In this kind of silent night, the accuracy of listening to the sound is very high, not to mention that the little monkey is quite talented in this area, Yue Qianqiu certainly will not doubt it. Although the three of them were hiding on the side of the road, it was absolutely impossible for the group of people to find them when they passed by, but I also knew that if they let people go easily, when they turned around and crossed the border, they would undoubtedly encounter stronger blocking forces!
Without thinking about it, he looked at the little monkey: "Is there anything that can be used to stumble?" ”
The little monkey suddenly looked embarrassed. A rope is not simply a rope is enough, but also a solid fulcrum. If you really don't have it, you can also let two people pull it at both ends. Now that there are trees on the side of the road, he and Yue Qianqiu can barely be a rope puller, but where can they find such a long and strong rope?
He used his brain urgently, and suddenly turned his head to Xiao Jingxian and asked, "Could it be General Yue and them who are coming?" ”
"No way." Xiao Jingxian dispelled the little monkey's delusions with just three words, and then said, "Yuezhong, they walked early, and they didn't take this road, I didn't tell him that I would go tonight, let alone tell him that we would take this road, so it was impossible for him to come and answer." You two don't have to think about it so much, it doesn't hurt to let them go, you don't have to fight hard at this time. ”
Xiao Jingxian said so, and the little monkey was stunned. At this moment, he tilted his head and listened for a moment, and then immediately shouted, "It seems that someone is coming, maybe it's Uncle Ying!" ”
Yue Qianqiu pricked up his ears for a while, but he still couldn't catch any movement, and he could only sigh at the little monkey's hearing. But he soon caught the sound of his clothes breaking through the air, and he saw a figure rushing towards him, and when he stood up and was about to speak, he heard a soft cry from the little monkey.
"The riders brought hounds, and I heard them bark!"
As soon as these words came out, even Yue Ying, who had just stood firm and was still stained with blood on his body, suddenly changed color, not to mention Yue Qianqiu and the little monkey. Only Xiao Jingxian Shi Ran flicked the dust on his robe and stood up, and said lightly: "Fortunately, Mr. Youying carried it all the way, and I have accumulated a lot of strength. ”
Yue Ying didn't show off his exploits in fighting those Black Water Guards in the forest just now, because this matter was nothing compared to the upcoming pursuers. Hearing the horses' hooves and dogs barking in the silence of the night, he heard the movement getting closer and closer, and he clenched the long sword in his hand, and his heart quickly summed up. But at this moment, he suddenly heard only a terrible scream.
At this moment, the four of them immediately looked at each other, and even Xiao Jingxian showed undisguised surprise. The little monkey was even more surprised and delighted: "It can't be that the fish that slipped through the net in the Black Water Guard collided head-on with these people, and their own people beat their own people, right?" ”
"You're thinking beautifully, we heard the dog barking, and we could still realize that it was a chaser with a hound chasing us, not to mention the Akikashi Kuromizu? They're not stupid! Xiao Jingxian mercilessly beat back the little monkey's wishful thinking.
And Yue Qianqiu didn't have time to think about who was over there to help intercept the pursuers, so he walked around to Yue Ying and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Ying, are all those guys left in front of you?" ”
Yue Ying bowed his head slightly and said: "I have dealt with the Aki Kaji Division more than once, and some of their contact methods think they are secret, but they have not changed for so many years, but they are too old-fashioned, and I use traps to gather and annihilate them." ”
Although he didn't mean to boast about his exploits at all, the little monkey was still amazed, and muttered, "It took a lot of effort for me to kill two people, Uncle Ying, you are too powerful!" ”
Even Xiao Jingxian involuntarily took a light breath of cool air, and then said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "It is worthy of the shadow of the dark moon, even if the dragons of the Autumn Hunting Division are leaderless now, after this news comes out, some people should commit suicide and apologize." ”
"These should not be transferred by officials, but are equivalent to some people's private soldiers." Yue Ying didn't care about the worship of the little monkey, Xiao Jingxian's praise, but said in a deep voice, "After gathering them together, I pretended to be the henchmen of the Northern Yan Emperor and transferred them to Nanjing to face the saint, but instead of scaring them, these guys also wanted to besiege me without fear of death, and seeing that they were about to lose in the end, two of them committed suicide by poisoning." Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I will be able to kill them cleanly. ”
"I see, Mr. Ying really has no last resort, I want to see that older man more and more."
Xiao Jingxian habitually squinted his eyes, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "Listening to this movement, those pursuers seem to have been ambushed remotely?" ”
As soon as the two words came out, the little monkey jumped up directly: "Senior Brother Qing!" ”
Yue Qianqiu also immediately blurted out: "Master! ”
Facing these two little guys who were excited at the moment, Yue Ying suddenly said: "No matter if there are other helpers besides the two of them, but when this kind of black light is blinding, it is impossible for them to completely intercept those pursuers." In that case, we're going to lay a second layer here, so that if the person behind us who is helping to intercept hears the movement, they can come and meet each other as soon as possible. ”
Yue Qianqiu just wanted to say yes, but then said with a bitter face: "Uncle Ying, there must be more than one or two fish that have slipped through the net, but as long as there are no stumbling blocks, we can only intercept a few people at most." ”
"Who says there are no trips?" Yue Ying smiled slightly, he actually rolled up his sleeves, and untied a slender long rope like a golden thread from the bracer layer by layer, seeing that Yue Qianqiu was dumbfounded, he said lightly, "This is a golden wire rope mixed with meteoric iron, remember to tie it to the dagger when you pull it, and then find a tree to circle it twice, otherwise it will cut off your hand." You and the little monkey are in charge of each other, and I am the only one. ”
Yue Qianqiu's favorite thing to hear is this sentence "Leave me alone". After all, he had been looking forward to seeing Yue Ying attack with all his might in the dark night. At that moment, he immediately divided the labor with the little monkey, one tied the golden wire rope to the dagger, and the other tied it to the single knife, and then the little monkey ran to the opposite side of the road without saying a word.
When Xiao Jing first saw that the two of them had set this alternative tripstring as high as a human shoulder, he knew that even if a fish caught in the net rode to this side, it would definitely be impossible to escape. Sure enough, not long after the tripping rope was set, with the sound of horses' hooves, one or twenty horsemen who had scattered galloped towards this direction.
And Yue Qianqiu, who circled the dagger around a tree twice and tightened the rope, only then held the dagger tightly in his hand, only felt that the whole person was instantly excited. Seeing those people getting closer and closer, he couldn't help but jerk his heart, and then he heard a lot of miserable screams.
In an instant, the three horses that had struck the head tripped directly, and the rider was thrown high under the tremendous momentum, and fell to the ground in a sudden situation. The riders who followed couldn't catch up at all, and some people tried to trend the mount into the air, but they didn't expect the shameless height, and the mount couldn't jump at all, and it actually tripped even worse.
Only the last few riders barely had a chance to stop their horses, but on the ground, people were already on their backs, moaning and neighing. And the survivors didn't even have time to get up, only to see a black shadow float up like a light smoke.
The light smoke only flickered around them, and the eyes of those people with a little brilliance for the rest of their lives were scattered. As the black shadow swept through the remnants of the defeated army in this place, and finally rushed towards the last few horsemen, Yue Qianqiu finally heard a familiar voice.
"Bold, dare to intercept the White Mountain Guard of the Akikashi Division!"
