Chapter 13: The Three-Year Covenant
"You're all going to die!"
The white-clothed swordsman came like the wind, and his ghost-like figure appeared in front of a group of Anxi guards, holding a sword glowing with blue light in his hand, wearing an extremely ordinary mask, his dark eyes flashed, he glanced at everyone, and said lightly.
His tone was extremely calm, but it gave people a rightful and unstoppable majesty, as if his words had made the final judgment on the fate of everyone present. Almost everyone felt a kind of fear, he alone and with a sword, he gave people a sense of oppression far more than the more than the four hundred horse bandits during the day.
This is the bearing of the best master.
But he meets Xiao Quai, a guy who doesn't know what fear is.
A voice that ruined the atmosphere sounded, compared with the cold, very high voice of the white-clothed swordsman, this voice was more of a joke: "I seem to be very powerful, and I have to die, I'll talk about it if I win!" ”
"You?" The white-clothed swordsman looked at Xiao Quzhi with some doubts, he was an extremely handsome young man, tall and thin. With a baby face and a mocking face, he took two steps forward, and with a force of his left hand, he pulled the flying knife out of his right forearm. The flying knife entered the flesh half an inch, and there was not much blood from the wound. He threw the knife on the ground in disgust, spat out a mouthful, and said a word.
"Haha, missed the shot."
It was he who used his arm to block the flying knife that shot at Gao Xianzhi at the critical moment. The strength of my flying knife was so great that the other flying knife pierced directly through Tian Lun's throat, and this one only shot into his forearm for half an inch. The white-clothed swordsman's cold eyes slowly softened, and he obviously showed an expression of interest and appreciation. The boy was interesting.
"Interesting...... What did you say? ”
"I said, 'You have missed, I have made you miss; Also, if you want to kill, win me first. Xiao Quzhi stared at him, his momentum did not fall at all, and he didn't take him seriously at all.
"In that case, let's kill you first!" The eyes of the white-clothed swordsman became fierce again, and the top master had the arrogance of the top master. The young man in front of him showed that he was different, and he was not a person who must be killed, and his courage was also appreciated by himself. I thought that I might be able to include him in the snake's teeth, and it was not necessary to become a helper for myself. However, the other party repeatedly ridiculed. gave you a way to live, if you don't go, there is nothing left to say, just kill it.
So he made a move, and before the word "kill you" was spoken, his body had disappeared from the place, swept a few feet, and a gust of wind seemed to attack Xiao Quai, and the blue light in his hand flashed. Xiao Quzhi shouted hello, took two steps forward, and met the white-clothed swordsman head-on.
"Ah......h
"Protecting the ......"
Only then did the surrounding Anxi guards react, and several nearby Anxi guards escorted Gao Xianzhi to take a few steps back, and then blocked in front of him one after another. The other Ancy guards looked at the two in the field with wide eyes. The speed of both of them was so fast that they couldn't catch them with their naked eyes, until their figures suddenly collided together.
The sound of the sword cutting through the air, the thunder of the rumbling, and the muffled sound of bodies colliding together came almost simultaneously. The two quickly separated after colliding, each taking two small steps back. The white-clothed swordsman turned around and slashed with a sword, Xiao Quai's clothes on his chest were torn, blood oozed out, and a thin red line appeared on the white Taoist robe.
A huge look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the white-clothed swordsman, he took a deep breath, and rushed out again, waving the long sword in his hand, forming a wall of light, enveloping the opponent in all directions. The next moment, Xiao Qu turned around and ran out, and his speed was half a point faster than that of the white-clothed swordsman. The white-clothed swordsman froze, sneered, and chased after him with his sword.
More than a dozen Anxi guards followed, some of them already holding their crossbow machines and placing their fingers on the hanging blades. After Xiao Quai's illness ran out of more than ten zhang, he turned around and collided with the white-clothed swordsman again. The white-clothed swordsman was knocked back two or three steps again, the light of the long sword flashed, and he didn't know if Xiao Qu was hit by the sword.
Xiao Qubing took advantage of this opportunity to turn around and run around the small dirt slope on the outskirts of the camp towards the exit. The white-clothed swordsman sneered, raised his sword and chased after him again, almost to the exit of the camp, that is, when the two Anxi guards on duty had fallen to the ground just now. Xiao Quzhi suddenly stopped his body, turned around, and collided with the white-clothed swordsman again. The rumbling thunder rang out again, and the two quickly separated again. Xiao Qubing took two steps back, but the white-clothed swordsman was knocked back four or five steps, the sword body was dripping blood, and Xiao Quai's shoulder had been pierced by a sword.
More than a dozen Anxi guards immediately turned red, and without the slightest hesitation, the crossbow strings vibrated violently, and the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air suddenly rang out. Before the white-clothed swordsman was hit, although the long sword pierced the opponent's shoulder, he also suffered a slap from Xiao Quai's body, and was knocked out more than ten feet, and at this moment, his whole body was tumbling and scattered. At this time, more than a dozen crossbow arrows pierced the air and came suddenly.
What a peerless master, he took a strong breath, waved the sword in his hand, and only heard a sound of thumping metal, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows were all shot down. The white-clothed swordsman did not hesitate any longer, and moved his body up, his feet like flying, like the wind. After running out of more than ten feet, the sound of flying and domineering came again:
"Three years later, outside the Yumen Gate, there will be a battle of life and death!"
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. Don't run, didn't you say you're going to kill us all? Xiao Qu said sickly, still hard-mouthed, but he was actually relieved in his heart.
I have to say that in the fight between the two, Xiao Quzhi was completely defeated, and he was hit by four swords, three swords cut through the skin, one sword penetrated the body, plus the flying knife on his arm. Xiao Quai's illness has been hung in five places, and since the other party has only been hit by a whip and a hammer, as long as he wanders and rests, he will be fine, and if he continues to fight, he will be more auspicious.
At this time, Gao Xianzhi and others had also arrived, and the most emotional was the eunuch Wang Chengen, who saw Xiao Qu sick and covered in blood from a distance, and screamed loudly. Gao Xianzhi stopped him, ran to Xiao Quai, and said with concern: "Fuchen, it doesn't matter, right?" ”
Xiao Quzhi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I can't die, fortunately he ran away, if he didn't run, I couldn't beat him." ”
Gao Xianzhi gave an order, and more than a dozen Anxi guards with crossbow machines left a guard to deal with the bodies of the fallen soldiers, and the rest hugged Xiao Qubing back to the open space in the center of the camp. Seeing Xiao Quai's appearance, many Anxi guards couldn't help but secretly applaud, good man, what a hero!
Xiao Quzhi took off his clothes, revealing three sword marks more than a foot long on his chest and back, a blood hole in his left shoulder, plus the wound on his arm, the skin rolled slightly, and it looked quite shocking. Gu Xiaojun and Li Ergou helped him clean and bandage his wounds with alcohol and Yunnan Baiyao according to Xiao Quai's instructions.
Gao Xianzhi sat opposite Xiao Quai, and said with a ashamed face: "Fuchen, this time it is really thanks to you, you not only saved all the Anxi guards this time, but also saved so-and-so." After speaking, he bowed respectfully.
Xiao Qu understood what Gao Xianzhi meant, not because he saved him, but because he was ashamed of his cowardice at the moment of life and death. At that time, he was stupid, and Xiao Quzhi happened to see it clearly, but the corresponding Xiao Quzhi's performance was desperate and fearless, which made him feel ashamed.
Xiao Quzhi hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, and said very sincerely: "What did Zhongcheng say, I also joined the army on the Anxi Army, and I did what I did, but Zhongcheng regarded going to the sick as an outsider?" ”
Gao Xianzhi said with a smile: "The assistant minister is right, but it is hypocritical. ”
Wang Chengen also hurried to the round and praised Gao Xianzhi's good fortune, and the heavens sent strange people to help, and the two of them will be able to achieve a great career in the future, and the prince will be for all generations. The atmosphere was relaxed for a while.
Xiao Quzhi smiled, thinking that this eunuch was a thoughtful person, and he was used to figuring out his thoughts and adjusting the atmosphere. After a while, Xiao Qu said to the sick: "How dare you take credit for going to the sick, it's also luck, the white-clothed swordsman is far above me, if he hadn't run away suddenly, the result would be really hard to say, so it's still lucky." ”
This time, it was Duan Xiushi's turn to solve the puzzle, and he said with a smile: "Fuchen, you don't know anything, that white-clothed swordsman is a self-proclaimed peerless master, and he has his own arrogance. He threatened to kill you first, but he killed you three times in a row and did not die, so he fled in shame. ”
Xiao Qu was stunned and said with a wry smile: "This is okay, it's so high." ”
"Forced? What is Forced Grid? ”
"Heh, I mean, he'll regret it. That is, he won't come back tonight. Or will he not come back to trouble for three years? ”
Duan Xiushi was silent for a long time: "It should be, but don't take it lightly, you still have to arrange someone to keep vigil and be on duty." ”
Having said that, no one dared to take it lightly this night, and Gao Xianzhi arranged for half of the people to take turns on duty. Xiao Quzhi lay in the tent and also transferred his qi and blood to his ears every hour, and heard the movements of the nearby five or six miles clearly. At that time, I was also distracted, so that the thief in white suddenly appeared without discovering it in advance.
It seems that he still underestimates the heroes of the world, and he thinks that his body has evolved through the wormhole, and his strength, reaction and sensory sensitivity are dozens of times better than others, so he is a little fluttering. Unexpectedly, he immediately learned a lesson, and he was beaten powerless in front of the white-clothed swordsman, and he had to fight with his life to withstand the opponent's three moves. The price paid was also very large, with sword wounds everywhere and several times hovering between life and death.
This lesson must be learned, and you can't your tail lightly at any time! Otherwise, the devil knows if there will be such good luck next time.
However, Xiao Quai's illness is also strange about one thing, where did he get such great courage. Fighting for life and death but not feeling any fear, on the contrary, there is a faint excitement, and now I think about it as if it is a little addictive. Could it be that he has been influenced too much by his grandfather and master since he was a child?
Before the age of ten, in the hospital, the grandfather who accompanied him the most was the most, and the story of fighting Lao Mei in North Korea was heard the most, and the army at that time was never afraid. After the age of ten, in Wudang Mountain, what I heard the most was the thrilling and exciting story of the confrontation between the special forces of the two sides told by the master. Sneak attacks, adventures, decapitation, going deep into the enemy territory alone to obtain intelligence, and sabotage, Xiao Qubing is enthusiastic every time he listens to it. Perhaps it is the subtle transformation of more than ten years that has shaped Xiao Quzhi into a bold and adventurous fearless warrior.
Xiao Quzhi couldn't help but compare himself with others, and Gao Xianzhi immediately exposed his biggest weakness, which was that he was afraid of death. Xiao Quzhi remembered that when the Battle of Talas in another time and space suddenly underwent a drastic change, Gao Xianzhi fled in a hurry. If there is no such shortcoming, Gao Xianzhi can be regarded as a perfect commander, leading the troops in a good way, brave and strategic, and very easy-going and generous.
Duan Xiushi was a square gentleman, different from the fear shown by Gao Xianzhi at that time, Duan Xiushi's first reaction at that time was anger; And the eunuch Wang Chengen was also a gutsless man, as if he heard him screaming at that time; Gu Xiaojun is not bad, quick to react, and bold. After he stopped the flying knife, he was the first to block in front of Gao Xianzhi, and later he also pushed Gao Xianzhi back.
He began to summarize the gains and losses of that battle. Their advantages are that they have great strength, fast speed, and quick reactions. The disadvantage is that there is a lack of actual combat experience, and there are almost no equipment skills. To deal with ordinary people, of course, his skills are more than enough, and when he encounters a real master, he is immediately completely suppressed. It seems that there is still a lot of learning to learn, not only to learn the skills of killing enemies in the army, but also to learn the skills of the Jianghu people to kill people alone, like the swordsmanship of the white-clothed swordsman is very good.
What Xiao Qubing didn't know was that when he was thinking about the white-clothed swordsman, dozens of miles away, the white-clothed swordsman was also thinking of him: "There is such a person in the world!" Looking at his striking skills, he looks like a novice completely, but how can he have such reflexes, and his strength is superior. Is it right or wrong to let him go today? ”
