Chapter 4 You have Jianji Mountain, I have Helan Courtyard
The convoy set up tents in the open space not far from the main road, and some soldiers had already lit the smoke under the brilliant sunset to prepare dinner.
On a piece of soft green grass not far from the tent, Zhang Xiaoxian leaned and half lay there, looking at the gorgeous sunset in the western sky, looking very intoxicated, sitting in a wheelchair beside him Zhang Linzi, also looking at the surrounding scenery with a relaxed expression.
It looks like they're still in the far town...... Some evenings in that small courtyard are the same.
A figure walked slowly behind them, and seeing that the two brothers did not deliberately turn their heads to look at him, they lifted the corners of their robes, sat down beside them and began to look at the sky.
"The scenery here is good!" Zhang Xiaoxian said loudly with a thin grass stalk in his mouth, still staring at the sky.
Xiao Shizi was stunned, not knowing whether he was saying this to the young man in a wheelchair or to himself.
"What do you think?" Zhang Xiaoxian asked again.
"It's okay, it smells of homesickness. Xiao Shizi turned his head to look at the scenery and said.
"Seeing that you are not very old, why are you so old-fashioned?" Zhang Xiaoxian turned his head to look at him, slightly dissatisfied.
The conversation began in the bland, it had nothing to do with friend or foe, it had nothing to do with identity, it seemed to be between two teenagers of the same age, so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary.
Zhang Linzi, who was sitting on the side, did not participate in the two of them, but quietly listened to them talk about their hometowns from the scenery, from their hometowns to their customs, so that they all read those books, studied how many martial arts, and finally talked about cultivation.
"I heard that there is a Jianji Mountain in your Yue Turk country, and there are many cultivators on that mountain?"
Xiao Shizi listened and nodded slightly: "Yes, although our Yue Ji country is sparsely populated and lacks resources, the people have developed a resilient and indomitable character, and they are very advocating for martial arts practice. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Shizi's face showed a hint of arrogance, as if this matter was very useful to him.
"You don't need to show that kind of expression in front of our Song people......" Zhang Xiaoxian saw the other party's demeanor, as if he was inadvertently provoked by his unconvinced nerves: "Our Helan Courtyard is not also a holy place for cultivation, I don't know how much stronger than your Jianji Mountain!"
Xiao Shizi listened to it, and was silent and silent, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
After a while, he suddenly looked at Zhang Xiaoxian and asked, "Since you are interested in cultivation, can you know or know the cultivators in your Song Kingdom, or do you have any dealings with them?"
"This ...... Not really. Zhang Xiaoxian's face immediately turned slightly embarrassed, which was what made him very helpless and annoyed.
As a teenager who is obsessed with cultivation and wants to practice, it is indeed an embarrassing thing to say that he doesn't even know what cultivation is all about and which famous practitioners there are.
When Xiao Shizi saw that the other party was finally knocked down by him with words, his depressed mood was suddenly swept away, and he replied with a smile: "Speaking of which, I know something......"
"Tell me about it!" Zhang Xiaoxian said in a calm voice, but he was already ecstatic and excited in his heart.
"In my eyes, a cultivator should be beyond ordinary people to perceive heaven and earth......
Xiao Shizi opened his mouth and was just about to make some explanations, but found that Zhang Xiaoxian, who was sitting not far from him, sat up suddenly, frowned, and his face instantly became solemn.
"Pour!" A loud shout came out of Zhang Xiaoxian's mouth, and the two young men who had been staying calmly near him were suddenly stunned by the sound he made.
Immediately, they felt their bodies be pressed down violently, and almost at the same time there was a chilling screeching sound above their heads.
Someone had launched a surprise attack on them, and these arrows were a sharp weapon to keep them off guard.
In an instant, several soldiers near the tent were shot through the armor by the sudden flying arrows, and the arrows pierced deep into the flesh, and the horses that were leisurely eating forage also had arrows and neighed, but in an instant, the camp was still quiet and peaceful, and suddenly became terrifying, and the moans of the wounded soldiers and the neighing of the injured horses came, which added more tension here.
"Shield!" Not far from Zhang Xiaoxian, there was the voice of the command of the deputy lieutenant Cao Yuntao, and then, several Song soldiers lifted the shields placed beside them in their hands, and according to Cao Yuntao's instructions, they all gathered around Zhang Xiaoxian.
After Zhang Xiaoxian's jumping body knocked Zhang Linzi and the little prince down, he didn't immediately raise his head, but listened carefully to the swishing sound of breaking the air from the air.
"Twenty-four ......" he quickly and accurately reported the number of archers on the other side.
Not far from him, Cao Yuntao was swinging his knife to block the feather arrows that kept shooting from the bushes in the distance like rain, hearing Zhang Xiaoxian's words, his mood relaxed a little, he brought more than 30 border troops out this time, it is said that there should be no problem in dealing with these people.
It's just that he doesn't know who these people are, and who tried to want the life of this little prince of the Yue Turkic country.
At this moment, the rain of arrows suddenly stopped, and in the open area in front of them, several dense black shadows began to appear, and the black shadows advanced at an alarming speed.
"Divide the column, block and kill!" Cao Yuntao, an adjutant with considerable combat experience, fiercely ordered the soldiers under him, and in an instant, there were still more than 20 soldiers left, and they quickly changed their formation, and more than 10 people in a team quickly separated, one surrounded the group here into a barrier, and the other team faced the black shadow man who rushed over quickly, and resolutely waved the knife in his hand to meet it.
Chu Zhihuai, the captain of the border military academy, once boasted to outsiders that his soldiers never knew what it was to be afraid of retreating, but only knew that after the order, they moved forward bravely and were endless.
Today, in this melee, as a native of the Yue Turkic country, Xiao Shizi was surprised to find a group of heroic pictures of a group of tigers like fierce tigers in the mountains, opening their mouths and pounced on the enemy, and stubbornly resisted.
They are border troops, people who guard the peace of the side, even if they know that their fight this time is only to protect a Vietnamese who has nothing to do with them, but as long as there is an order, they will willingly obey and fight.
Looking at such a group of determined and fearless soldiers, Xiao Shizi's heart slowly gave rise to an emotion called admiration, and he silently looked at those people, his face becoming more and more serious.
It was a brutal battle, with the sound of swords clashing, roaring, and even piercing stabs into the body, which made this peaceful meadow irresistibly pathetic.
The black-clothed masked men on the other side have been killed by seven or eight of the border troops, and the number of people in the battle of the border army is also decreasing.
At this moment, I heard the second lieutenant Cao Yuntao issue another order: "Up!"
Immediately, the border army that surrounded Xiao Shizi quickly changed their formation, divided into two, and one of them rushed forward with a scream and joined the blocking team.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoxian did not move, he was holding the shiny hand knife with cold light, staring nervously ahead, looking at the black-clothed man in front of him and the border army, the number of people in the continuous fighting, slowly decreasing, but he did not move a step, behind him was the little prince of the Yue Turkic country, and Zhang Linzi in a wheelchair.
He's going to be the last barrier they see now......
After a period of fighting, slowly about to see the results, the man in black finally admitted in front of reality that as the border army of the Song Kingdom, the indomitable and death-defying strength made them feel the constant weakness in their hearts and the opponent's unrelenting spirit.
The number of men in black decreased rapidly in the later period, and it seemed that they were about to be slaughtered in this meadow.
Suddenly, in the rear of them, there was a strange rumbling sound, as if it came from the clouds, but it caused a violent fluctuation in this direction.
It was as if the whole earth here was trembling as the thing kept approaching.
The people in the fight gradually stopped, turned their heads in the direction from which the loud noise came, and then froze there in astonishment.
Not far away, in mid-air, there was what looked like a giant black roulette wheel with gears, and it was speeding up and moving in this direction.
Everyone at the scene was stunned by this strange sight, and even forgot what to do next.
"Hide!" came a hoarse scream that almost lost its original tone, which came from Cao Yuntao's throat.
When the stunned border soldiers heard this order, they suddenly woke up from their shock and confusion, and quickly retreated, the giant roulette wheel seemed to rotate faster, and in a blink of an eye they arrived in front of the border army.
The roulette wheel continued to rotate rapidly, facing the direction of the border army, and Cao Wentao, the deputy captain of the border army, was also dumbfounded at this time, he didn't understand how there could be such a weird, huge object in this world, could it be something sent by God, to stone them to death.
Constantly the border soldiers were hit by the giant roulette, and they were about to arrive at the place where the last group of border soldiers were guarding in front of Xiao Shizi.
At this moment, out of nowhere, an extremely bright light suddenly penetrated from top to bottom, hitting the middle of the roulette wheel, and I heard a "bang" sound, and the middle of the giant roulette wheel was quickly chiseled through by this strange light.
The roulette wheel suddenly lost its balance and began to shake in the air, trying to maintain its aggressiveness, but the extremely dazzling light that followed did not give it a chance to breathe, only to see a strange red light flash, hitting the shaking giant roulette wheel.
With a "click", there was a sound that wanted to shatter people's eardrums, and the giant roulette wheel suspended in mid-air shattered and turned into a thick cloud of black smoke, gradually disappearing in mid-air.
Then a tall figure in a black robe rolled out of the bushes not far away, his face and ears were covered with black blood, and he fell to the ground in pain and convulsed a few times, and then stopped moving.
