Chapter 9: Torture by the Crescent Lake

Shui Anyi clasped his hands in front of his chest, sneered, and looked the Tianzhu King up and down, his eyes were like snakes, and he was irritable when he saw the Tianzhu King. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Pillar King covered his mouth and coughed quietly, trying to defuse the embarrassment.

"Prince Kavad, is this your sincerity to your savior?"

Kavad snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly, "If it weren't for you waste, let us meet in this wilderness, would we need to use such a precious grenade?" And do you think that without your help, I can't get out of it with the grenade weapon? ”

"What a naΓ―ve idea you have!" Kavad stared at the Heavenly Pillar King and continued dissatisfied: "Because of your interference, you let go of the Tang army that pursued us, and I haven't talked to you about this account yet!" Why, I want to fight, when have I ever been afraid of Kavard! ”

The soldiers behind the King of the Heavenly Pillar saw Kavad's arrogant posture, remembered the situation of being bombed just now, and then looked at the tragic condition of the brothers who were injured and killed by the explosion, their hearts were on fire, and they picked up the weapons in their hands, and wanted to follow and kill Kavad.

Kavard glanced at the audience with a cold look, took a step back, and then gestured to Shui Anyi and his attendants beside him.

"Protect the prince!" The eldest grandson shouted and pulled out a spear with a black metallic sheen from his back, and the rest of the people also took out their weapons and stepped forward to protect Kavad behind.

Shui Anyi yawned lazily, waved his hand, and said nonchalantly: "Brothers, it's time to start, go home and hug your daughter-in-law after the fight!" ”

Kavad glared at Shui An Yi fiercely over there, and when he saw that they had all taken out their weapons, he turned his head to look at the Heavenly Pillar King.

The Tianzhu King's face was a little displeased, he glanced behind him, then quietly waved his hand, let his subordinates retreat, walked to the front by himself, glanced at Shui Anyi with cold eyes, and then shouted to Kavad: "Prince Kavad, this king is very sincere in cooperating with you, please let your subordinates put away their weapons, otherwise once you use force, the sword will have no eyes, and it will not be good to hurt Your Excellency!" ”

Eldest Sun Chong pointed a spear at the chest of the Heavenly Pillar King and looked at him with disdain: "Our Royal Highness the Prince doesn't need to cooperate with people like you, please go back!" ”

"Who is Your Excellency?" The Heavenly Pillar King felt the coldness of the metal spear tip in front of his chest, looked at Eldest Sun Chong and asked.

"I'm just a nobody following Prince Kavad, and the name doesn't matter!"

The Heavenly Pillar King stretched out his fingers and wanted to pull out the iron spear open on his chest, but he found that he couldn't pull it even harder, so the whole person felt very bad. He looked at Changsun Chong and nodded vigorously: "Very good, I remember your face!" ”

"Prince Kavad, let's be straightforward, I want to buy the Datang weapon in your hand." The Pillar King turned his face and shouted to Kavad at the back of the crowd, taking the crossbow from the guard's hand and raising it, "This is the weapon. Of course, if there is a grenade you are talking about, so much the better! ”

"No talk!" Kavard said faintly in the back.

"You say the price!"

"Are you deaf or what? I said it, no talk! ”

Kavard was furious and shouted at the Pillar King. The Pillar King's hand reached into the broadsword at his waist and looked at Kavad coldly.

"Boom!" With a bang, the guards beside the Heavenly Pillar King drew out the sharp swords at their waists, ready for the Heavenly Pillar King's orders at any time.

Eldest Sun Chong snorted coldly and took a step forward, the spear in his hand still pointing at the Heavenly Pillar King who had retreated. And Shui Anyi stretched his waist greatly, opened the paper fan in his hand, and looked at the Tianzhu King with interest. The elephant walked out from behind him, smiling heavily, holding a sledgehammer in his hand, looking at the Tianzhu King opposite, licking his lips with the corners of his mouth, his eyes like a hunter looking at his prey.

Outside the Crescent Lake.

The moonlight poured like mercury on the ground, covering the earth with a thin veil of light. At night, everything sleeps, and the world is quiet and serene.

On the ground in the distance, a cavalry team of about a hundred men quietly came out of the valley. They were clad in armor, their weapons glistening cold in the moonlight, their eyes fixed on the valley, and they made a posture ready to attack at any moment.

The leader at the front of the group looked at the calm valley in front of him, raised his right hand and stretched out two fingers behind him, pointing towards the only passage leading to the valley. The group behind him immediately stepped out of the two and rode in.

In the night, the passage leading to the crescent moon lake in the valley was pitch black, and two horsemen, driving somewhat restless horses, walked cautiously towards the passage step by step, and slowly disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Time passed little by little, and none of the two horsemen returned, and the passage was still dark, like a quagmire, and the two horsemen fell into it, and then disappeared without a sound.

The night breeze blew softly through everyone's necks, as if someone were gently scratching them, and everyone waiting outside the valley looked a little nervous, and the horses under their seats kept snorting and tried to walk around uneasily, but they were pinned down in place.

The leader of the cavalry narrowed his eyes, and with another wave of his hand, a dozen horsemen behind him took a large pile of firewood from their horses, piled up a small hill-high pyre in front of the valley pass, and lit it.

"Coax!" The firewood was lit by a fire breaker, and a flame two or three meters high rose and reflected the front of the passage in red.

The night wind blew in the passage, blowing the flames into the passage, and the smoke began to drift into the passage.

The leader of the cavalry sat on his horse, his eyes fixed on the situation in the passage, and the broadsword in his hand was tightly clenched, ready to respond to any situation that could arise at any time.

Bai Qi led a group of people to ambush on the top of the valley, looking condescendingly at the cavalry below, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Master Hou, when do you think you will do it?" The rat looked playfully at the cavalry who was setting fire to the passage below, his eyes full of disdain, and turned his head to ask White.

"People come so hard, you have to give them some warmth in return." Bai Qi said with a smile, patted the mouse on the shoulder, yawned and said+: "These jumping clowns will be handed over to you, Master Hou, I will go back to sleep!" ”

The mouse smiled, rubbed his hands, and asked a little embarrassedly: "Master Hou, can you use a grenade?" The subordinates really don't get tired of using this thing! ”

Bai Qi glanced at him and shook his head: "Use less, use less of this thing, use less than one, the following waste is not worth using grenades, and when you really want to save your life in the future, you can use it!" ”

The mouse blinked, turned his head angrily, and looked at the Tuyuhun cavalry who were fanning the wind below, and hit him angrily. It's all these guys, they can't go to trick the Tianzhu King with the bad scholars, and they have to stay on the mountain and be blown by the wind for half a night!

Seeing that the fire in front of the passage became smaller and smaller, until it finally turned into sporadic sparks, the rat turned around, glanced at his brothers, nodded to them, and then covered his face with a black cloth, transformed into a group of masked black-clothed men, quietly touched the mountain, and went around the passage.

On the stone wall two people high from the ground, the rats made small caves, which could only fit just enough for one adult except for large stones.

The rats slid down into these small caves with ropes, hiding their bodies inside, quietly waiting for the enemy to attack.

In the middle of the moon, the moonlight turned into a beam of silver light, which shone obliquely from above the valley into the passage.

The leader of the cavalry outside the valley looked at the moonlight, and saw that the ground of the passage was covered with stones, and moss grew on the stones. The moonlight reflected the smooth stone walls in the passage for only two people, and the moss crawled on the stone walls near the ground at short intervals, and as the height increased, the stone walls above became dry and full of cracks, and from time to time a stone or two protruded in the air to obscure the moonlight. The moonlight shone obliquely, meandering all the way down the passage, until it suddenly stopped at the last turn.

The leader of the cavalry carefully observed the situation of the passage, and ordered each of his men to raise a torch, two side by side, carefully enter the passage, and every ten paces or so, he stopped to observe the situation around him, and whenever he encountered a suspicious section, he threw two torches into it, and when he confirmed that there was no problem, he slowly continued to advance.

Bai Qi sat bored on the hill, condescendingly watching the Tuyuhun cavalry advance into the camp step by step, and couldn't help but stretch, and then kept yawning.

Suddenly, several fires flashed on the ground in the distance, followed by a faint sound of explosions, instantly breaking the silence of the night.

Bai Qi stood up and looked in the direction where the sound of the explosion came, it was closer to Liangzhou City, it seemed that the place where the Tianzhu King arranged to meet was not his own palace, but in a sparsely populated area, which was really interesting!

With the power of the Heavenly Pillar King in Tuyuhun, if he wants to arrange for Kavad to meet with him to facilitate the purchase of weapons, then he is the safest and most likely to succeed in his palace. So what made him give up his strengths?

I heard that Hakim is in the palace of the Tianzhu King, and with the ability of the Arabs, it is estimated that Hakim will definitely not let go of the idea of developing his own power in Tuyuhun. Then, the Heavenly Pillar King's Mansion should be one of the strongholds for him to form his own forces.

If this is the case, then there will definitely be a conflict between the Tianzhu King and Hakimu, no matter what reason the Tianzhu King took in Hakimu in the first place, he must also have a distrust of the latter now, and even the idea of killing people is not ruled out!

If this is really the case, then for the Tianzhu King, the current Hakimu is out of control, and the Tianzhu King should also be looking for a new and obedient partner to replace Hakimu!

Bai Qi seemed to think of something, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he made up his mind again, standing on the top of the mountain with his hands folded, looking at the somewhat restless Tuyuhun cavalry under the passage, with a smile on his face.

Feeling the sound of explosions in the distance and the shaking of the ground, the leader of the Tuyuhun cavalry turned his head and looked in astonishment at the place where the sound had come from, only to see a few flashes of fire there, and then fell silent again.

His face changed, because that was the place where the Heavenly Pillar King met with these people by the Crescent Moon Lake tonight, if there was an explosion over there, could it be because things had changed and the two sides had a conflict?

"Fortify your defenses and watch out for the enemy in the dark!" As if thinking of something, the leader of the cavalry suddenly shouted loudly, raising the vigilance of his men, for until now they had not seen the two soldiers who had entered the passage before.

The crowd walked step by step with torches, and in the narrow and slender passage, only the sound of their footsteps and the burning of the torches could be heard, and the surrounding stone walls were illuminated by the firelight, reflecting the wet walls, and occasionally one or two moss plants could be seen in the cracks of the stones, clinging to the stone walls, trying to extend the leaves outward.

Looking overhead, only a narrow strip of sky formed by two mountains could be seen above the narrow passage, like a line of sky, and from time to time night winds poured in from the narrow upper fissures and outside the mouth of the passage, and a silver moonlight beam pierced through the heavy darkness, and finally shone in, dyeing the passage as a dreamlike silver.

The cavalry leader looked up, looking at the small and narrow sky above him, his face became more and more solemn, because this meant that this place was completely an important place that was easy to defend and attack, and it was extremely easy to lay traps, unless there were enough troops, it was really not possible to take down this area!

But what was the thing that fell from the sky, not a stone, but a strip like the size of a baby's arm, with smoke at one end?

The leader of the cavalry suddenly changed his face, and with all his strength he shouted bitterly: "Enemy attack! Watch out for what's falling off your head! ”

The other soldiers of Tuyuhun looked up suddenly, only to see that many black shadows were falling from the stone wall on their heads, and when they looked closely, they turned out to be stones the size of human heads!

"Shieldman, you ****** block it for Lao Tzu!" The leader of the cavalry shouted, and he first took out his spear and swept it over the falling stones.

Among Tuyuhun's soldiers, about twenty soldiers shouted at the same time, quickly took out a shield from the horse's belly, and then rose up in unison, blocking the stones falling from the sky.

Bai Qi looked at these shield hands of Tuyuhun above, raised his eyebrows, and couldn't imagine that Hakisenmu still had some ability, and he really trained the shield hands of Tuyuhun's army, which had always been able to go straight before!

"Boom"!

Among the countless black stones, the strange thing that the cavalry leader had seen before that was not a stone finally landed on the shield of a shieldman, and then a loud bang sounded over the shieldman's head, and the huge explosion force and shock wave exploded the shieldman's body entirely, and the closer he was, the greater the impact.

A team of more than a hundred people poured into the narrow passage, and a grenade exploded in the middle of them, instantly killing many cavalrymen who could not dodge, and the surrounding stone walls were suddenly covered with a blur of flesh and blood that flew in!

The leader of the cavalry had already retreated before the explosion began, and the explosion was still hit by the shock wave, and the whole person flew out for some distance, and the whole person fell face down to the ground with a "plop". (To be continued.) )
