Chapter 14 The Snow Strikes Without a Trace
Chapter 14: Shocking Snow Without a Trace
The quickest route to escape Jiankang and go to Guyu is to go west along the river. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Jiankang on all sides, there is a stone town heavily defended in the west, and there are many mountain roads, and the east and north sides are even more roundabout, so only go to the south gate.
This night is the second day since Han Huang and Zhang Jian's arrival in the aunt, Sima Xiu and Sima Xiong thought that they had not thought too long between staying in the city and surrendering to the enemy.
At this time, nearly 100 city patrol guards were ready to go outside the division, and there would not be so many guards left in the city patrol division in the past, but during the extraordinary period of Su Jun's rebellion, it was almost full tonight.
Feng Ruoyu went out with Xie An, and when he saw only Xie An's white horse and Shen Jin outside, he realized that this fifteen-year-old boy actually went out on a rainy night with a guard, not to mention arresting defectors, even if it was dangerous enough to ride a horse in such bad weather, this hall Situ actually didn't pity his students so much?
And there was no trace of complaint on Xie An's face, although his lips were already white from the cold, and the gloves made of soft leather did not cover the ten fingers, but tapped the blade of the sword with the frozen red knuckles from time to time.
Feng Ruoyu still couldn't help but ask, "What about your guards?" ”
Xie An said indifferently: "The guards at home naturally stay at home, and it is enough for Ah Jin to protect me." ”
Liu Zhuang, who sent them out of the company, said with a smile: "If the rain is not weak, he will definitely protect San Lang when the time comes." ”
Xie An waved his hand, not wanting to come to this set with Liu Zhuang again, and threw himself into the rain, his little dragon girl ran the fastest, and was not afraid of ice, wind and snow, and took the lead in leading the way, heading towards the south fence gate.
It is unrealistic to block people halfway, there are many forks in the road, in case they are not good to flee to residential areas, and the south fence gate is also closely guarded, just to wait for the rabbit.
After someone in the city patrol guard barely followed Feng Ruoyu, he shouted with all his might: "Feng Tou, this San Lang doesn't want to die, we have to take care of his life!" How can you let him rush ahead?! ”
Feng Ruoyu was also very depressed at the moment, he didn't think that this thin little Langjun was riding at a gallop, none of them could catch up with these military horses, and only Shen Jin's horse was carefully selected by the hemp in the Xinzhou Horse Farm, and he could barely keep up with the pace of the little dragon girl, and he was three positions behind.
"This kid!" Feng Ruoyu whipped the horse, eager to go faster.
Fortunately, it was the second half of the night, the rain gradually stopped all night, and the snow seemed to have stopped temporarily, but the road under his feet was even more difficult, not to mention the layers of slush, there was new freezing, and some people were surprised to fall behind if they were not careful, Feng Ruoyu didn't want to leave any of his brothers behind, and this line was even farther away from Xie An, and with the copper lamp hanging at the corner of the street, he could barely see a trace of Xie An's flying afterimage.
Fortunately, however, the south fence gate is almost there.
When entering the city gate, there is a long corridor, the corridor was originally lit with candles, which was used for lighting and guiding the way, but tonight it was a little strange, the night watchman seemed to be derelict in his duty and dozed off, and the lamps that were blown out by the wind were not patched, and only a few lights were burned.
Xie An was only a few hundred meters away from Yongdao, and he had a difference in his heart, Xiaolongnu sensed it at will, slowly slowed down, and finally stopped fifty meters away from Yongdao.
Xie An heard the sound of Shen Jin and the horse's hooves behind him, waved his hand, and motioned for them to slow down.
Shen Jin was closest to him, and when he saw the little dragon girl slowing down, he also knew that something was wrong ahead, and hurriedly sped up his speed, wanting to block in front of Xie An.
I didn't think that as soon as Xie An stopped his hand, that hand directly pulled out a clear sword light, and then Xie An jumped up from the horse, volleyed in the air, and swung a sword forward.
……
This sword did not swing in the air, Shen Jin saw it clearly, he only felt that his eyes flashed, and in the hazy light coming from the corridor, a figure flashed faintly, and the two sword lights collided in the air, making a clanging sound of gold and stone.
Before Xie An could stand still, the black shadow struck again, forcing him to take a few steps back, and the little dragon girl let out a shocking hiss, and with a step of her hooves, she set off a curtain of snow and dust that was enough to obscure the vision, covering the person's vision.
The man's swordsmanship was wonderful, and there seemed to be an invisible force around the sword that attracted the water droplets, and actually split a silver stream in the rain curtain, and went all the way forward, and actually wanted to hurt the troublesome beast.
Xie An hurriedly blocked in front of the little dragon girl, and the Gu Hong sword let out a terrible sound, and he fought hard to break away the man's sword.
At this time, Xie An's arm holding the sword was already trembling slightly.
Only the second sword. He said to himself, can't stop.
I can't stop, I don't dare to stop, and once I stop, I'm dead.
Even if he has a thousand flaws in his sword, even if the other party's sword has all kinds of wonderful intentions, but to kill someone, only one sword is needed.
The man was also surprised that Xie An was able to take his two swords, and he was even more interested, without giving him the slightest respite, Ruying accompanied him, and the two of them shot at the same time, between the lightning and flint, the two figures intertwined and shuttled in the snow, dust and rain curtain several times, and exchanged swords several times, Xie An's entire arm was numb, and the knuckles holding the sword were already white and stiff.
And at this moment, Shen Jin had arrived, Xie An listened to the sound of the wind, and suddenly provoked a water arc with the tip of his sword, the man still wanted to swing his sword to turn the wind into interference, but he didn't think that the water arc was a disguise, and the sword qi in the water was the real move!
The two of them had been fighting with swordsmanship and strength before, and the sword qi had never been used for this kind of mystical cultivation, the sword qi was secret and fierce, and the person reacted, just because it was too close, even if he dodged it in time, he was actually slashed by the sword qi rubbing his shoulder.
Immediately after Xie An stepped back, Shen Jin stepped forward, and his fist took advantage of the man's dodging sword qi to smash a hard punch in the man's chest.
The man let out a muffled scream, obviously not because of the pain caused by the sword qi, but because of Shen Jin's fist.
Shen Jin took it when he was optimistic, and retreated before the man could counterattack, blocking Xie An.
I saw a line of blood burst out of the man's chest, and two wounds were made at the same time.
Xie An asked with a smile: "Did I make Bai Zhou's special finger tiger easy to use, this finger tiger seems to be smooth on the surface, once the force reaches a certain level, it can activate the internal mechanism, turning the flat head into spikes." ”
Shen Jin raised his hand and looked at the flesh and blood dripping on the finger tiger, although the honest man couldn't help but laugh, he still praised: "Although it is a bit tricky, the effect is good." ”
Because Shen Jin was in front, the man didn't seem to dare to rush forward, and then Feng Ruoyu's team also caught up, and when he saw this scene from a distance, his heart was already in his throat, but he didn't think that Xie An would not only be able to catch that person's swords, but also hurt people.
At first glance, the man was extraordinary, but he was afraid that the guards in this corridor and the south fence gate were already ......
"Looks like someone was careless." The man didn't laugh angrily, he pressed the wound on his chest, and when he saw that the other party's reinforcements had arrived, he simply stopped fighting.
Xie An looked him up and down in the dim light, nodded and said, "I really made a mistake, I forgot that you dared to come back, but fortunately, it's not Chengying, otherwise I'm afraid I will be killed by him the moment I get off the horse." ”
The man was slightly dissatisfied: "You underestimate me? ”
Xie An shook his head, "I'm just familiar with you, after all, we have been together for a while, at that time, you wilted, you really looked like a bully, so I can feel your breath immediately, it's just a, how to say, there is no murderous aura hidden like a killer, but easy to hide, it is the so-called reckless spirit, after all, Liu Sheng, the former owner of the Falling Star Building, is the first person in Jiangzuo Jianghu!" ”
Liu Sheng sneered: "I haven't seen you for more than four years, San Lang will still only be quick to speak?" ”
Xie An corrected him: "Wrong, good eloquence is innate, and it is my acquired diligence that I can take your three moves, on the contrary, not only has your eloquence not increased, but even your swordsmanship has not advanced." ”
Liu Sheng was very irritated by him, knowing that he couldn't talk to him, and he would be stunned by him as soon as he spoke, and he definitely couldn't argue with this stinky boy with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, Liu Sheng already regretted very much why he let him go in the first place, even if he didn't kill him, he had to cut off that tongue to feel at ease.
I didn't expect to see him for more than four years, Xie An's swordsmanship has also improved amazingly, Liu Sheng knows that he is not regressing, Xie An is not only calm and sharp in the face of the enemy, but also somewhere to learn the swordsmanship of actual combat, compared to the sword dance at the weekday banquet of the children of the family, I didn't think that he has been learning actual combat.
Xie An sighed: "I know what you're thinking, sword dancing and real swordsmanship are two different things, but I can do it, but it's a pity that I know a lot of things, and I don't have time to specialize in one technique, so I can't kill you tonight, it's a pity, you can only let Ah Jin take your head." ”
Shen Jin couldn't help but say, "I'm just afraid that you will release a cold arrow and want to kill him in front of me." ”
Xie An smiled: "Ah Jin is really joking, Liu Sheng, you don't have to believe him, I am a dignified disciple of the Xie clan of Chen County, how could I do something insidious." ”
Shen Jin said expressionlessly: "I'm afraid that you will disturb me with a cold arrow, because you can't plot against him at all." ”
Xie An smiled lightly at Liu Sheng again, and reached out to pat Shen Jin's shoulder, "You continue to fight, I will watch carefully, you must have been unwilling to be injured by him back then, today there is revenge, there is revenge, there is revenge, don't pity him is the only seedling of the Shen family." ”
“……”
Seeing that Xie An and Shen Jin were still singing and arguing at this dangerous moment, Liu Sheng and Feng Ruoyu were both stunned, so the two who were left aside said at the same time-
"Less nonsense! Hit Kombat! ”
"Less nonsense! Stand down, all of you! ”
After Feng Ruoyu finished saying this, the city patrol guards behind him raised their bows one after another, and nearly a hundred arrows emitted cold eyes, staring at Liu Sheng deadly.
Xie An hurriedly said: "Slow! I have a problem! I won't be able to ask when he's dead! ”
Yanagi gritted his teeth and said, "Yes...... Hurry up! ”
Xie An said earnestly: "Tonight is indeed my mistake, I didn't expect Sima Zong to send you to pick up those two turtle grandsons, I just want to know, where have you lived all these years, don't look at me with such eyes, I just want to figure it out, go back and take the opportunity to mock Yu Liang and his subordinates, what a bunch of waste wood!" ”
Liu Sheng endured it, and said expressionlessly: "Naturally, it is Su Jun." ”
Xie An asked, "Are you going to pick up the grandson of the Sima family turtle tonight?" So your mission tonight looks like you've failed, and they haven't reached the South Fence yet, so we're here first. ”
Liu Sheng said: "In the entire Jiankang, now only you are relatively smart, knowing that the two princes will escape, in fact, I almost couldn't recognize you, if I hadn't heard your voice." ”
Liu Sheng swore that in this life, even if Xie An had reached the stage of voice change, and his voice was slightly different from four years ago, he still remembered this voice-Luoyang Yong, right? Lang Yin is like jade, right? No matter how much praise he had, this voice had been humiliating him like a demon in Huangquan Prison, tormenting his heart until death.
Xie An asked again: "Now that Su Jun has not crossed the river, is he waiting for the ancestral appointment?" ”
Yanagi didn't speak.
Xie An asked again: "For the sake of our acquaintance, can you tell me how many members of the coalition are between Su Jun and Zu Yue plus Sima Zong's remnants of the defeated army?" ”
Liu Sheng almost gritted his teeth, Xie An had already seen through his fear of the arrow array and wanted to delay time to find a way out, and deliberately asked questions to continue to torment him.
Xie An smiled, stretched out two fingers and dangled them in front of him, "More than twenty thousand." ”
Liu Sheng's heart jumped suddenly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Xie An caught this expression, and immediately nodded: "It seems to be almost." ”
Pretty much what?! Whether it's Feng Ruoyu and Liu Sheng, they're going crazy, is this a place for small talk? Let's see if it's good!
I didn't think that Shen Jin also echoed, "It's a little slow." ”
Xie An shook his head: "The medicinal properties can't be too strong, otherwise they will be noticed by the masters, and the pulse will be intercepted in time, so there will be no effect." ”
Yanagi also sensed that something was wrong, and at some point the heartbeat gradually became violent, he thought it was caused by injury and blood loss, but at the moment it looked more like poisoning.
Could it be that the strange thing on Shen Jin's fist is poisonous?!
Yanagi gradually felt that the things in front of him were shaking, and the sky that had stopped raining and collecting snow seemed to be falling heavy snow, instantly covering all the sludge and blood under the snow.
Feng Ruoyu gave an order, the arrows were fired in unison, and Liu Sheng's sword shadow was chaotic, and he staggered back while dismantling, and finally retreated into the corridor, and the sword light flickered and the candlelight in the corridor was completely extinguished.
"Don't chase." Xie An said to Shen Jin in a deep voice.
Shen Jin asked, "Why?" ”
"Nonsense, you are the only bloodline of the Shen family, how can I really call you to protect you, and how can I let you take risks for such a trivial matter? Otherwise, I won't do all kinds of cruel tricks and feet on your finger tiger, you will lead troops to fight in the future, think about your unlucky father, you chasing a poisoned little deserter is not atmospheric at all! And he was poisoned, maybe he will die in the middle of the road, what is there to chase? If you catch up, it will stimulate him to fight to the death, and no one can say the result at that time! The most important thing to be a man is to leave a line, for Liu Sheng, this is not to let the tiger return to the mountain, but to sell personal favors. Xie An's lips had already lost the smile when he delayed time, and his gaze returned to coldness, "Our ultimate goal is Su Jun Zuyue and Sima Zong, Sima Zong is more tricky than Su Jun, I want to keep this thread and completely pull out Sima Zong!" ”
Shen Jin was speechless and nodded slowly.
And Feng Ruoyu, who was silently forming the team on the side, couldn't help but look at Xie An again when he heard these words.
At this moment, the handsome little Langjun who is famous in Jiang Zuo is already wet and his hair is wet, and after a fight before, the hand holding the sword is still trembling slightly, and he is shocked by Liu Sheng's strength, it seems that this hand is usually used to practice calligraphy.
But even if he was so embarrassed, Xie An still stood tall, and he stood there, not making people feel that he needed protection, but rather making people feel shaken.
Xie An glanced at Feng Ruoyu lightly, "Please light a torch for Lord Feng, go in and investigate, count the casualties, and strengthen the guard, the south fence gate can't be lost." ”
Feng Ruoyu paused, and said in a deep voice: "Order!" ”
