Chapter 14: Sword Light on a Moonlit Night
The windows were filled with light, and there was a sound of speech in the room.
A woman whispered and told the mayor which house she would stay in tonight, and said she would stay with her, but it didn't count.
The other woman's voice was tinged with the usual numbness. "Since he offended the mayor of the city and was transferred here to guard the border, people have changed. He knew that there was no hope of going back, and he couldn't stretch out his ambitions, so he was left with drunken dreams and death, and had fun. He doesn't care if we get hurt or not, he only cares if he's happy. What's the use of you crying to me? After a while, we gradually got used to it, and we women got together to talk, do needlework, and still be each other's companions. ”
"Spend the night in the East House?" Li Tianzhao was not interested in listening to the conversation behind, but he already knew that the enemy's hundred generals were also in a pitiful situation.
It's just that his life is not pitiful.
In the courtyard, the windows of a room on the east side let in light.
Li Tianzhao leaned closer and heard the sound of the gentle breathing of only one person inside.
He poked a hole in the window paper and saw a woman sleeping on the bed, her body half-covered by a sheet.
Li Tianzhao couldn't help but blush.
The enemy will not be in the house, is it up at night?
Li Tianzhao waited for a while, but still no one came back.
Suddenly, he heard a voice in the direction of the backyard.
"There is wine today, drunk today, sorrow tomorrow, sorrow tomorrow! ha...... After drying this altar of Nandou acacia wine, the Wuwang Palace is beckoning in the dream!"
Li Tianzhao followed the sound and saw that in the backyard pavilion, the faint light illuminated a bearded face.
The man's face was obviously drunk, and the words in his mouth seemed to be open-minded, but he was clearly unwilling. The hazy drunken eyes revealed a bit of despair and a bit of anger.
A slender woman, dressed in a thin half-transparent garment, and holding a white mink cloak, walked over lightly, put it on for the man, and said with a worried voice: "The mayor of the town pays attention to his body, the wind is cold at night, go back to the house, and I will drink with you." ”
The middle-aged man with a full beard smiled, looked at the woman mockingly, and said, "It's cold at night, but you are wearing such thin clothes." It was nothing more than to show concern for me, and only remembered to bring me a cloak, but he did not remember to add more clothes. What can you gain in this little place, O one more thoughtful and jealous than the other, and pity me that I have been reduced to this place, and that I should spend day and night with you unspeakable! Sad, sad—"
The woman was accustomed to listening, so she just tied his cloak and helped him along.
Li Tianzhao pressed the sword in his hand, and when they came over and got closer, he struck.
The man had not taken two steps out of the pavilion when he suddenly pushed away the woman who was holding him and rebuked, "Who said you were going back to the house?
The woman fell to the ground, her arms and legs were bruised, her aggrieved eyes were full of tears, and she didn't care about patting the dust off her body after standing up, and ran back to the house.
The hundred generals hugged the wine jar and shouted angrily: "There is no peace! I can't be at peace when I drink wine! I go outside to drink, and whoever dares to bother again, I will throw her into the river!"
Bai Zhan staggered out of the back door, and Li Tianzhao followed, listening to the sound, and followed all the way out of the village.
The hundred battles will be by the river, holding the wine jar, one will respect the sky, the other will respect the river, and the drunken state will be revealed.
Li Tianzhao saw that the person was standing, and there were no obstacles around him suitable for hiding and approaching, and the rubble-covered riverside was empty.
It would have been safe to attack when the drunkard returned, but seeing him like this, he didn't know how long it would take. I have the strength of a hundred battle generals, so why should I be afraid of him as a middle-aged drunk?' Li Tianzhao made up his mind to test the sword with the enemy, and immediately walked out of the hiding place, expecting that it would inevitably step on a stone on the way over, and the sound would inevitably alarm the other party, so Lao Yuan shouted: "May I ask, where should I go to find the town?"
The hundred battles by the river grabbed the wine jar, turned to look at the young man who came over, and said with a smile: "Come! Drink with me and take you to my house!"
Li Tianzhao wished he could get closer, if he could get a blow, of course he didn't have to ask for trouble, so he pretended to hesitate, and then said with a smile: "Then I'm welcome!"
The hundred battle generals grabbed the wine jar with drunken eyes and held it up, Li Tianzhao reached out to pick it up, and when he was about to draw his sword to attack, he touched the hand of the wine jar but found that the weight was wrong!
Li Tianzhao was secretly startled, and before he could think about it, he quickly retreated and drew his sword.
Almost at the same time, a cold light flew out from the cuffs of the enemy's hundred battle generals, and suddenly flashed out from under the wine jar.
Li Tianzhao tilted his head and face, and saw that the cold light was a spike, which could pass over his nose.
When his feet were standing and the night wind was blowing, Li Tianzhao felt a little cool on the tip of his nose, stretched out his hand to wipe it off, and there was blood on his fingers, only then did he know that he was still cut a little by a spike.
The hundred battle generals of Nandou Town were very surprised, smashing the empty wine jar on the river beach with a smile, staring at Li Tianzhao and approvingly: "Good reaction, good skills, so young!"
Three good in a row, but Li Tianzhao didn't listen to it, he was too light on the enemy.
The wine jar was empty, but the man was still holding the appearance of drinking just now, the emptiness of the river beach, from the courtyard here, obviously, when he was in the courtyard, he was noticed by the enemy, the other party deliberately came here, and when he couldn't hold it anymore, he came out.
If he had slowed down just now, he would have probably been under the spike weapon.
Although he escaped, he was actually defeated for a while.
"How did you find me?" Li Tianzhao was puzzled, he was very careful in the yard, there was no reason why he would be exposed.
"You're too young. I don't know how to hide my murderous aura, from the time you approached, my drunkenness was awakened by your murderous aura. "The hundred generals drew their swords in their hands, their posture was casual, calm and calm, and they didn't even take a stance, and this kind of distance didn't need to care about the slight time difference caused by the stance. "It's you, who have worked tirelessly over the mountains and mountains across the border, what grudge do you have with me?"
"Do you know where I'm from?" Li Tianzhao was a little surprised.
"Although your sword is still covered by a cloth bag, I can know it just by looking at the sword chief, and in addition to this, there is also the fabric of your clothes, which is clearly from the Xuantian Martial King's side. In order to take revenge, it is really hard for you to climb over the mountains. ”
"We don't have a grudge. ”
"No hatred?" The hundred generals of Nandou Town were slightly stunned, there is no hatred, this person came all the way here, what is it for?
"No grudge. Li Tianzhao was sure again that he didn't want to say so much to the other party.
But at this moment, it seems to be a conversation, but they are actually observing each other, and they are also deducing what might happen when they fight.
When he was in Tiancang Mountain, he picked up the cheap that the hundred generals belonging to the Fengwu King were seriously injured and the power of the war seal was exhausted, and today, he, a new hundred generals, is going to face off against the veteran of the Earth Martial King.
Li Tianzhao was nervous, but more than that, he was looking forward to it.
This is an opportunity to test himself, and it is also an opportunity to see what the enemy is capable of.
Moreover, victory and defeat come at the cost of lives.
The hundred battles of Nandou Town will be silent for a while, no matter what grudge Li Tianzhao says, he will not be surprised, but it is incomprehensible to say that there is no grudge.
After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't figure it out. "Since there is no hatred, why?"
"Kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, leave the border, and no longer waste time guarding the border. Li Tianzhao replied very simply, an opponent who is about to divide life and death, there is no need to deliberately hide his purpose.
Li Tianzhao drew his long sword, and he had already deduced many ways to break the deadlock.
He is in the enemy's place, and the one who strikes first can only be him.
"......" The hundred battle generals of Nandou Town were silent for two seconds, and when they saw his sword body, they were extremely shocked and shouted: "You are a hundred battle generals!"
"Xuantian Martial King belongs, a wilderness-level hundred general, Li Tianzhao. Li Tian used his name and surname as usual.
“...... How old are you this year?" The hundred battle generals of Nandou Town were indeed very excited, and they couldn't believe it at all, and they couldn't help but suspect that maybe the enemy just looked young.
"Nineteen. ”
"......" The hundred generals of Nandou Town fell into a short silence again, and then, holding their swords in both hands, standing diagonally in front of them, posing in a good posture, and said: "It's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves! Tonight, see if I can be shot to death by you on the river beach." I have always been conceited, I left the village at the age of eighteen, became a ten-year-old general, and a hundred generals at the age of twenty-four, and these prides in the past were compared to a small hill by you! Come on, let me see what you are capable of!"
The hundred battles of Nandou Town have to be preoccupied, the Xuantian Martial King especially admires merit, and rarely relies on luck to get up, and the nineteen-year-old hundred battle generals have no reason to rely on luck.
If he knew about Li Tianzhao's encounter in Tiancang Mountain, he probably wouldn't have been so solemn.
Li Tianzhao held the sword and approached step by step, the hundred battle generals of Nandou Town did not retreat, holding the sword steadily and maintaining a posture, waiting for him to come.
When the distance was closer, Li Tianzhao suddenly changed from cautious approach to high-speed advancement, only to see his long sword move away with his footwork, like a whirlwind, turning and moving away to kill the enemy!
The sword light swirled around his body, seemingly unfast, and his movements were big, which was very contrary to common sense.
If Li Tianzhao was not a hundred generals, the mayor of Nandou Town would definitely think that he had encountered a third-rate warrior, but there should not be a hundred generals with the strength of third-rate warriors under the Xuantian Martial Throne.
There must be a reason for things to be abnormal, and with such a seemingly fragile body and sword move, the hundred battles of Nandou Town couldn't think of the key, so they decided to go all out.
'This man is so eccentric, he must have extraordinary means, and I am afraid that the defense is right in his hands, and at this moment he also knows nothing about me, and he will not be able to prepare to meet him with all his might!'
Li Tianzhao's sword walked with the people, and the strong wind was endless, only throwing the gravel on the river beach out excitedly, seeing that the distance was closer, the enemy general was still as steady as Mount Tai, and the sword was waiting for him.
'It's now!'
Seeing that the distance was suitable, Li Tianzhao suddenly increased his strength, launched the power of the battle seal, and the momentum of the rotation suddenly doubled, and the speed of the sword in the rotation was pushed to the fastest!
Almost at the same time, the hundred battle generals of Nandou Town were also waiting for the best time to launch, and in an instant, the yellow light of their whole bodies was bright, and even people with swords flew over like rushing meteors.
The river beach he had kicked under his feet was actually destroyed by the force of downward pressure to create a sinking pit!
Jin Guang Dasheng's long sword was swept by the strong wind, and the castration was still calm.
It's just that Nandou Town's hundred battles turned Li Tianzhao in front of him into a shadow with a rapid rotation, so that there was no way for him to accurately choose the landing point of his sword.
He could only stab the sword into the middle of the swirling shadow, but he wanted to be stabbed!
However, at this moment, the hundred battle generals of Nandou Town were shocked to find that Li Tianzhao's unusually large body and sword movements were slashed first at a speed far beyond his estimate!
The sword light carried the white light of the battle seal, and slashed on the shoulders of the hundred generals of Nandou Town.
And his sword, because of this, also lost its follow-up thrust, although it stabbed into Li Tianzhao's abdomen, it failed to penetrate, or even penetrate.
But many pebbles on the river beach driven by this sword were like torrential rain, and they smashed Li Tianzhao's face and body in an instant.
Li Tianzhao's whirling momentum was blocked by the dense critique of the river stone, and when he stopped, his face was red and swollen in several places, and his body was as if he had been beaten by a large group of people, and it hurt everywhere, and even made him wonder if there was a broken bone somewhere.
He was stabbed in the abdomen and bleeding.
Moonlight, reflected on the river.
The impact of the two fighting made the water surface sparkle.
The shadow of the moon on the water is messed up.
After a moment, the wind calmed down.
The smell of blood also solidified on the river beach, thick but not dispersed.
