Chapter 15: A Change of Mindset
In recent years, Bai Wuchang has become accustomed to a life of pure heart and few desires, and he only raises flowers and protects grass on weekdays, and he has long lost the heroic spirit of the wind and rain of the past, and he has no courage to fight for life and death. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Han Qi glanced at him contemptuously and then closed his eyes and said nothing, the peak master of Baiyan Peak, who had white hair, gave people the feeling that he was completely an old man from a peasant family, where was there a giant, killing countless heroes. Even in the blink of an eye, he couldn't help but ask himself, if he hadn't brought troops here half a month ago, would Tianqing be able to hold it, although after every left and right analysis, the result was negative, but he still couldn't help but think that there were other possibilities.
For the current Han Qi, the old man in front of him is his lifeblood and his hope for a comeback. He didn't believe it, and the mountains that stretched for thousands of miles could not accommodate him. With his ability, he will soon be able to pull up a team again, recapture Tianqing Mansion at that time, and then integrate the entire Meifeng Ridge forces. Through this incident, Han Qi can see clearly, the imperial court is too busy to take care of itself, and only its own strength is the last word.
He had already thought about it, no matter what, in the past few days, he would first determine the location of those treasures, and when he poured, he would occupy the dove's nest, and use this Baiyan Peak as a foothold to expand outward, waiting for the opportunity to move, and he might not be able to compete with the Qinglong Mountain. As far as he knew, the so-called Qinglong Mountain had only been established for a few years, and he didn't take this group of thieves in his eyes at all, and he was indeed too arrogant.
As for Bai Wuchang, if this old man knew the current affairs, he might be able to let him retire on this mountain, and if he didn't know how to advance or retreat, he wouldn't mind sending him on the road. What is the specific location of the most important treasure now, if you want to come to this Baiyan Peak for decades, not to mention the countless wealth, you will inevitably be rich. It's a pity that he can't take out the treasures he put in Tianqing Mansion, otherwise why should he worry about these belongings. Those treasures hidden in Tianqing Mansion, he was not worried, he did not believe that anyone else in this world could find that place except himself. That wealth is the source of his confidence.
"Who?"
Suddenly there was a loud shout from outside the house, this voice Han Qi was quite familiar, this was the secret guard he arranged in the courtyard. Since the Flower Boat Incident, Han Qi has selected some innocent and loyal guards in the army as secret guards, these people are in a sense cultivated as Deadpool, although the time is still short, but they are keeping up with ********.
At this critical moment, Han Qi didn't dare to take it lightly, and grabbed the sharp sword that was placed aside in just an instant. If it had been ten years ago, he would have come out with a sword at this time.
"What's the situation, doesn't it mean that the enemy has retreated?" Bai Wuchang sat up violently, his expression slightly flustered.
Han Qi glanced at him disdainfully and said, "Don't worry, I'm alive and won't let you die." I don't know the specifics yet, you wait here, I'm ......."
"My lord, it's not good, there is a group of unknown enemies who have come to us, although they are not many in number, but they are not afraid of death, although their subordinates are fighting hard, but they ...... but they were outnumbered. A man dressed in dark cedar slammed the door in, covered in blood, looking terrifying. Han Qi and Bai Wuchang had both seen blood, but they didn't seem too flustered.
"How many people came, and who were they?" Han Qi stood up, walked forward slowly, and said, "Have you arranged for someone to break through the siege to move the rescuers?" ”
"Two people have been sent to break through, but the subordinates think ...... The safety of adults is the most important, so it is better to avoid their edge first. This is not unreasonable, and Han Qi himself thinks so.
"There is no secret passage in the study, only a passage leading to the outside of the courtyard in the wing." Seeing that Han Qi didn't seem to believe it, Bai Wuchang explained: "I was just used to make a show in the study, and I don't usually come here. ”
Han Qi didn't bother to listen to his explanation, and said impatiently: "Why are you waiting to go?" ”
The sound of swords colliding outside the courtyard was endless, and as soon as Han Qi and the others left the door of the house, a sharp arrow flew in front of them, obviously the enemy had already noticed this place, just waiting for him to come out. At this juncture, Han Qi's only choice was to pull Bai Wuchang on the side to block this arrow. But if he dies, he has no wealth and no one else, and it will be difficult to develop again. In such a situation, there was no room for hesitation, and in just a moment, Han Qi had already made a choice. At the moment when he grabbed Bai Wuchang's arm, suddenly a black shadow blocked in front of him, and then with a muffled snort, the guard who had reported the news before fell at his feet.
"Protect your lords." The guards who were fighting with the enemy bandits on the scene saw Han Qi coming out and a hidden arrow was shooting, so they shrank their defenses one after another, protecting the two of them in the middle.
The enemy is besieging in an instant, and everyone can see and understand this posture, and the one who is protected must be the chief person in the mountain. In fact, there are not too many enemy bandits, only six or seven of them, but it can be seen that they are all not afraid of death, which is obvious from the corpses lying on the ground. The bandit who died in battle, after receiving a fatal blow, brazenly slashed to death the secret guard who killed him, and the expression on his face was fierce and decisive, which really made people shudder.
"Don't let any of you go, take your life." One of the enemy bandits rushed forward first, with a long knife in his hand that was not on the defensive at all, and came up desperately.
Fortunately, these secret guards arranged by Han Qi were all carefully selected from his army, and each of them was experienced in a hundred battles, so that they could hold on for a long time in such a desperate battle and under the condition of being inferior in numbers.
Everyone fought and retreated, and the wing room was not too far from the study, as long as they passed through the corridor, it was the wing room. However, with such a desperate posture of the enemy, it is unknown whether his subordinates can insist on escorting the two of them over.
Han Qi angrily pulled out the long sword in his hand and flew to join the battle group. As a general who fought from the bottom, his combat experience is beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers, but with the rise of his status, there are fewer opportunities for him to personally go into battle to kill the enemy. The so-called art is diligent, and the drama is wasted, and the kung fu in his hands over the years has been a little wasted, if it weren't for this, he would not have been forced to be like that by those men in black on the flower boat.
However, skills are easy to lose, and if you want to pick them up again, you have to have a year or several years of work. In just a few moves, a deep wound was cut on Han Qi's arm by the long knife, and blood splattered in an instant, and the flesh and blood turned out.
"Oh~~!"
There was a dark arrow that came at him, but this time Han Qi reacted quickly enough and blocked it with his sword. His heart was cold, and if he was a little slower, this arrow would kill him.
The current situation is quite unfavorable for several people, the other party has archers lurking in the shadows, Han Qi and others are in the light, and what is even worse is that this person does not shoot at will, but only targets him, obviously the only purpose of this person is to decapitate, the head of the head. There were already many casualties between the battle and retreat, but fortunately, at this time, the scale of victory was falling to them, and as their guards slowly figured out the fierce and fearless routines of these rogues, they slowly took control of the situation in the field.
Han Qi suddenly stopped, the long sword in his hand clenched again, looking at the three enemy bandits in front of him who were dressed in tattered clothes and had stab wounds on their bodies, judging from the dress of these people, they did not look like people from Qinglong Mountain. Whatever the reason, there is no need to dress so tattered for such a thing as an assassination.
"Who the hell are you?" Han Qi stood behind a guard against the wall, and continued: "I, Han Qi, remember that I have not offended you, so why do you come from fighting with your life like this?" ”
One of the enemy bandits pulled the hair from his face and let out a hideous smile, which did not show fear, but gave people a sense of relief from death. "Don't talk so much nonsense, my third child is tired of being crooked, can't I kill you on my back?"
"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”
Three arrows were fired in a row, but instead of just coming at Han Qi like the previous time, they were aimed at the three guards under him. At this time, each of them had a precaution in their hearts, and at the moment when the arrow feathers broke through the air, they either blocked with a long knife, or turned over and jumped away, but there was no actual effect.
At the same time, a man jumped down from a tree in the courtyard, dropped his bow and arrow to the ground, and walked over with his sword drawn.
At this time, they were only one step away from the side room, and with the escort of a few people, Han Qi and the others could retreat into the room safely, and they didn't even need to use any secret passages at all, as long as they couldn't hold out. At the beginning, I was afraid that the other party would still have reinforcements, but at this time, the reinforcements of the enemy bandits did not appear, which was obviously too worried.
"Do you dare not to be a turtle with a shrunken head and fight me to the death?" The man who claimed to be the third child pointed his blade directly at Han Qidao.
Such a desperate move, Han Qi really saw too much, and the things like the radical method were all leftovers from his play. But at this time, he wanted to accept the challenge of the person in front of him, so many years of pampering, deep in his heart, he already had a kind of greedy life and fear of death, which would make him instinctively avoid risks. If he had thought like this before, it would have been nothing, when he had a city to defend, and he was almost invincible in this place. Today, however, the thought that even if he survives this crisis, he will face more dangers in the future, will be constrained. In a word, the difference between keeping a business and starting a business is just that.
Han Qi took a step forward and said, "If you want, I will kill you with my own hands." ”
"Commander Han, don't bother so much, just these few people are left, even if they drag and wait for reinforcements to come, they are a dead end, why bother ......" Of course Bai Wuchang would not understand Han Qi's thoughts, in his opinion, this is completely a two-pole behavior that has nothing to do, but now that they are under the roof, it is difficult to say clearly.
"Why bother?" Han Qi suddenly laughed and said, "I, Han, killed the enemy on the battlefield at the age of fifteen, and cut off countless heads with my own hands, how can such dignity be provoked by a little rogue." Besides, it was exactly four against four in the field, and I couldn't watch my brother fight for his life with the enemy, but I was so frightened that I didn't even have the courage to hold a sword. ”
Han Qi turned his head and smiled coldly at Bai Wuchang, "This is the biggest difference between me and you. ”
