Chapter 26: The Blind Tiger (3rd Watch)
Xiao Xintian suddenly stopped tapping on the tabletop and raised his head to look outside the room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info I saw that it was gray outside, and the heavenly river in the sky seemed to have been opened a gap, and the rain poured down from the sky, and on the stone slab in front of the hall, the raindrops of beans hit it, making a crisp sound like a bright pearl falling on a jade plate, and then growing lotus flowers blooming one after another.
Xiao Xintian got up, walked to the front of the hall with his hands behind his back, and let the wind blow the rain on his body. The terrible darkness outside engulfed the whole world like a devil, and there were silver-white lightning in the dark clouds that swam like nimble dragons, but they could not swim into the thick clouds.
Eventually, though, the lightning broke out. It was like a sharp sword, piercing the sky, shining arcs, rushing all the way from the clouds until it stopped at the edge of the sky. Immediately afterward, there was a burst of thunder in the sky, as if the god of thunder was beating the hammer in his hand vigorously in the sky.
It wasn't long before another dazzling flash of lightning illuminated the sky and the earth. Xiao Xintian raised his head and could clearly see everything in the yard, including the rockery opposite him and the gate in the distance.
Xiao Xintian was suddenly stunned for a moment, because he saw that the door had opened—it had been opened from the outside to the inside!
"Someone!" Xiao Xintian suddenly shouted loudly, and immediately turned around and held the long sword on the table tightly in his hand, and pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword.
Except for the sound of wind and rain between heaven and earth, the City Lord's Mansion was quiet, as if Xiao Xintian was the only one living in the huge mansion, no matter how loudly Xiao Xintian shouted, still no one came.
"Whew", a strong wind poured in from outside, blowing out a light on the wall. Xiao Xintian's heart tightened, and sweat broke out in his hand holding the long sword.
The black door slowly opened from the outside, "squeak", the door made a sour old sound of opening the door, and then a foot wearing Tuyuhun army boots stretched in, and with a "horn" sound, it stepped heavily on the stone slab inside the gate, splashing a splash, which also made Xiao Xintian's heart beat heavily.
The door was still slowly opening, and then another foot came in, this time with the upper body of another man. As soon as this person came in, he immediately stood aside, as if he didn't see Xiao Xintian standing in the hall, and turned around to open the other side of the door completely.
Looking at the neatly lined up people outside the gate, Xiao Xintian couldn't help but gasp, and his face gradually turned pale. He knew that it was not that Qiu Laohu's reinforcements did not come, but that people came quietly, and he didn't even know when they would arrive!
Xiao Xintian slowly sat back on the chair in the hall, and looked at Bai Qi and the others who walked in with flickering eyes, without saying a word.
"Are you Xiao Xintian?" A very young man walked out surrounded by everyone, and when he saw Xiao Xintian sitting on the chair, he couldn't help but ask.
"Yes!" Xiao Xintian tidied up his clothes, sat on the chair, and looked at Bai Qi: "Who are you?" ”
Bai Qi ignored Xiao Xintian's second sentence, and immediately turned his head and summoned two Cloud Breaking Army soldiers and ordered them to tie up Xiao Xintian.
"As long as he doesn't die, whatever you do, I just need to move this person back and study it slowly!"
When the two Cloud Breaking Army soldiers heard Bai Qi's words, they looked at Xiao Xintian, who was glaring at them and the others, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of their mouths, and then they suddenly grabbed Xiao Xintian's collar, and their knives fell and fell, completely knocking Xiao Xintian unconscious.
Bai Qi glanced helplessly at the two soldiers of the Cloud Breaking Army, waved his hand, and asked the original soldiers of Shancheng to take him to the place where the prisoners were held.
Braving the heavy rain, the group came to a desolate area behind the City Lord's Mansion, where there was a prison made entirely of stone. White killed several Tuyuhun soldiers guarding in front, and then left half of them outside to watch the wind, and led the others into the prison.
"Who are you?" The Tuyuhun soldiers who stayed in the prison to interrogate the defenders of Shancheng saw Bai Qi and the others walking in, and immediately stood up and shouted at them: "This is a prison place, no one can come in without getting a letter from the general!" ”
Bai Qi smiled, and the rats and others who came in from behind pounced on the Tuyuhun soldiers in the various cells and rescued the Shancheng defenders inside.
Looking at many of the Shancheng defenders who were already dying, the Qi of the Cloud Breaking Army was all out, and when they passed by the Tuyuhun soldiers who had fainted on the ground, they deliberately stepped on their bodies, and specially added two percent more strength. Those Tuyuhun soldiers were immediately trampled to death by the Cloud Breaking Army, intentionally or unintentionally.
In the deepest part of the prison, Qiu Laohu was hung in the center of the cell, his upper body was bare, he had no left arm, his whole body was densely covered with whip marks, his head was shrugged, his hair was scattered, and most of his face was covered. The mouse stepped forward to pull away Qiu Laohu's hair, and found that there was a deep knife mark on his face, from the left forehead to the edge of the right earlobe, the wound was turned outward, and the white bones inside could be faintly seen, which looked very terrifying.
Qiu Laohu closed his eyes tightly, with a painful expression on his face, and heard the sound of someone coming in a daze, so he used all his strength to try to open his eyes, but he accidentally moved the wound on his left eye that was cut by a knife, and unconsciously let out a cry of pain.
"General Qiu, I'm the rat of the Cloud Breaking Army! We're here to save you! The mouse hurriedly asked people to put down the rope hanging the autumn tiger, and then found clean clothes to help him put it on, and then said excitedly in his ear.
The expression on Qiu Laohu's face showed a complicated expression, and finally froze on happiness. He put his hand to the mouse's ear and said with all his strength, "You ...... It's finally here,...... Remember, if you can't beat it, don't force it,...... It's best if the city can be returned, and if you don't, you must not lose your life......"
After Qiu Laohu said these two words, he seemed to have used up all the strength in his body, gasping for breath and unable to say a word again, he tried to open his right eye, wanting to look at the mouse, but found that his eyes were open, but it was still pitch black.
The mouse found that Qiu Laohu opened his right eye, but there was confusion in his eyes, and he wanted to look at himself, but he looked in other directions, knowing that his eyes were no longer visible, so he picked him up and walked outside. The shivering Tuyuhun soldier who passed by the corner of the cell said softly, "Kill him," and left without looking back.
Behind him, White looked at the figure of the mouse and shook his head gently.
"Arrange for men to open the gates and welcome our team in!" White gave an order to the people around him: "Tonight, we will take back what we have lost!" ”
"Yes, Master Hou!" Kuroko responded loudly, and flew into the rainy night with a group of people, and disappeared without a trace. (To be continued.) )
