Chapter 53: Face
The dagger is thrown, and as long as it hurts the masked man, the masked man will surely die.
But now Jiang Long only has such a weapon in his hand for self-defense, and he doesn't know how many reinforcements there are on the top of the cliff in addition to the forward.
If he really threw the dagger, he would be defenseless and weak, so he could be said to have no power to protect himself.
Absolutely cool head quickly analyzed, allowing him to make this decision.
The striker bit the masked man's throat and didn't let go, and instinctively let out a low roar in his throat.
The mugged man's neck artery had ruptured, the piercing blood stained the earth, and as time passed, the fear of death made his eyes rise with horror and despair, and his hands and feet gradually became cold and weak.
"Help, save me......"
As the masked man was dying, his right hand was stretched out vigorously towards the leader.
But the masked leader's gaze was only fixed on the striker, indifferent.
Zuihou swallowed in one gulp, and the masked man tilted his head and died.
"Whew, whew."
The striker roared in the depths of his throat, spitting from his mouth and nose.
Realizing that the target in his mouth was dead, the striker relented, stretched out his long tongue and licked the blood from his lips.
The sharp fangs were exposed, reflecting the sunlight, and there was a chill that made people palpitate.
His eyes were bloodshot red, revealing the beast's unique devouring light, staring at the masked leader with a steel knife in his hand.
"Is this a dog?"
The masked man who had just climbed up the rope exclaimed in surprise when he saw the striker.
As a dog, the striker is a little too big, like a tiger cub and a calf.
The leader of the masked man held the steel knife tightly at this time, more than a zhang away, confronted the striker with his gaze, and frowned: "I heard that there is a mastiff in Jingfu, and only dogs with a length of four feet are called mastiffs, they are fierce and powerful, extremely good at fighting, and very ferocious!"
One can even defeat several wild wolves, and is not afraid of tigers and leopards!
It seems that the mastiff in Jingfu has thick skin and long hair, and there is a thick mane around the neck, do you think this is it? ”
"Possibly!" One of his men replied.
The other masked man also nodded in agreement: "It should be right." ”
Otherwise, ordinary lone beasts would not dare to attack the crowd.
The masked leader's face became gloomy when he heard this, and at the same time, his heart was anxious, because the arrival of the striker meant that the reinforcements who came to rescue Jiang Long would also arrive soon.
Now he has to face the fierce mastiff in front of him, and the Jing family kid is hiding in the cave under the cliff, and it will take a lot of effort to take down both.
It seems that it will be difficult to go back alive this time!
The masked man's eyes flashed quickly with the faces of several loved ones.
There is a father, a mother, a wife, and an only son who is only three years old this year.
"Let's go up together, kill this dog first, and then go to the life of the family boy!"
"Yes!"
The masked leader gave the order, and the other two raised their steel knives and rushed towards the forward.
Although the striker has thick skin and long hair, it can't stand the cold and shining steel knife slashing, and when it sees that there are many people on the other side, it immediately jumps back and dodges, intending to fight with the three people.
The masked leader, however, didn't want to waste time and walked around to the side, wanting to surround the striker.
The striker, while unusually ferocious, is no match for the three masked men.
Even if one can be settled in the end, it will inevitably die under the steel knife!
However, at this moment, a black light pierced the air, and with a whoosh, it reached the back of a masked man like lightning with the sound of breaking wind.
"Ahh
It was a jet-black arrow.
In an instant, the masked man's body was pierced, and the arrow entered from his back and then came out through his chest.
"Who?"
The masked leader was horrified and quickly turned his head to look in the direction where the arrow was fired.
At this point, the striker immediately attacked, and pounced on the other masked man when he was distracted by his companion's arrow.
directly threw the masked man to the ground, and his sharp teeth also bit the other party's throat.
The masked man let go of his fingers, threw the steel knife, and held the striker's head hard, trying to push the striker away.
But the striker was crazy at this time, and his big mouth bit the masked man's neck and shook it vigorously from side to side, and soon the masked man's throat burst open, and his mouth made a burst of ho-ho sounds.
When the masked leader looked over, the masked man's hands and feet had become weak because he could no longer breathe air, his collar was red with blood, and his pupils began to gradually dilate.
"Who is Your Excellency, will you only hide in the shadows and sneak attack?"
The masked leader screamed angrily.
"You have to wear a black scarf all daytime, and you don't dare to show your face, what qualifications do you have to accuse me of only sneak attacking?"
A young man with a strong bow in his hand slowly walked out from behind a rock at the bottom of the mountain.
The masked man blushed when he heard this, he was a dead soldier, walking in the shadows, he was indeed unqualified, and the reason why he shouted angrily was nothing more than because the mission was too unsmooth today, which affected his mood.
It always seems to be successful, but it will give birth to branches!
"If you tell me who you are, I'll consider sparing your life." Then the young man spoke again.
"Humph!"
The masked leader snorted coldly, and then a flash of madness and death appeared in his eyes.
The young man secretly screamed that it was not good, and immediately pulled his bow and arrows.
At this time, the masked leader had already quickly turned around and ran towards the edge of the cliff.
"Wow!"
The striker realized something and immediately caught up.
But the masked leader was only two feet away from the edge of the cliff, and after running to the edge of the cliff, the masked leader did not look back, but jumped down.
He actually chose to jump off the cliff, and then slash and kill Jiang Long in mid-air!
In order to complete the mission, don't die!
At this moment, the young man's fingers pulling the bowstring loosened, and a black light burst in, sinking into the shoulders of the masked leader.
"Hmm!"
A few blood flowers suddenly splashed on his shoulder, and there was a burst of pain, and the masked leader snorted, but the big hand holding the steel knife did not let go.
His body fell, and in the blink of an eye, he fell to the height of Jiang Long's hiding cave.
Jiang Long hid in the cave and didn't dare to take his head easily, so he didn't see anyone fall until this time.
But then, a cold light split down in an instant.
Instinctively, he raised his dagger.
There was a crisp sound, sparks flew everywhere, and the masked leader's broadsword was blocked by the dagger.
One hit missed, and the masked leader already had no second chance to strike,
Opening his mouth and spurting out a mouthful of blood, the body of the masked leader fell off the cliff like a sack.
It didn't take much effort, and there was a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in Jiang Long's ears.
On the cliff, at this time, the forward stared at the young man with a pair of eyes, and roared in a low voice.
If the young man hadn't helped, and the striker instinctively felt that he wasn't easy to mess with, he would have pounced on it a long time ago.
The young man was sturdy, dressed in a black robe, and his steps were slow and steady, and he didn't care at all, as if he didn't pay attention to the huge forward, and walked straight to the edge of the cliff step by step.
A gust of mountain wind blew, gently raising the young man's somewhat messy long hair that was scattered on his shoulders, "Hey, Jingjianglong, are you okay?" ”
Although Jiang Long blocked the steel knife, there was still a trace of fear in his heart.
The masked leader's attack just now came too fast and unexpectedly, so if the instinctive reaction just now was slower, he would already be a dead man by now.
At the same time, I was glad that I was calm enough before, and I didn't impulsively throw a dagger to kill the masked man when the striker came, otherwise I would have lost my life at this time.
Hearing an unfamiliar voice coming from the mountain, and calling him by name, he asked with some confusion, "Who are you?" ”
The guards of the Jing Mansion and the forbidden sergeant who had seen Mrs. Jing's powerful methods no one dared to call him by name directly.
"In the past, I always heard that the little young master of the Jing family was sick and weak, timid and afraid of things, I thought that the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, which had infinite glory and power in the northern and southern frontiers, was afraid that it was going to fall, but I didn't want to see a Jingjiang Dragon today that was different from the rumors." However, after the young man was sure that Jiang Long was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly said such a thing inexplicably.
Jiang Long frowned when he listened.
Judging by the voice, he didn't recognize the young man who spoke, and he didn't see what was happening up there even when he was hiding below.
"Who the hell are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I saved this dog in your house." At this time, the young man looked at the vigilant forward, and there was a trace of envy in his eyes, if only this dog were his, "Although it is very brave and fierce, it can't deal with the combination of three masked people!" And after killing it, those three masked men should go down again to take your life. ”
Jiang Long had seen the masked man who had slashed himself injured before, with an arrow hanging on his shoulder, and he was originally a little curious, but then he knew that it was the man above who came to help, so he said, "xiexie." ”
"You're welcome." The young man shook his head with a big grin.
But Jiang Long immediately squinted his eyes slightly, and then said: "As soon as I opened my mouth, I first announced that I saved the dog in my house, and then said that the masked man would definitely not let me go if he didn't die. ”
The young man is handsome, dignified, with a bold and free temperament, he is not a person who coerces Ensuo, but he really encountered great difficulties, before asking for a good status of the old friend, but the son is helpless for his problems.
Coincidentally, the prince guessed that something might have happened to Jingfu, so he quickly went up the mountain, and he learned that Jiang Long had been attacked.
Chasing behind the striker all the way, this is the opportunity to save the striker and Jiang Long.
Hearing Jiang Long's straightforward inquiry, the sunny smile on the young man's face instantly stiffened, "You're smarter than I expected!" ”
"Say, if I have the ability, I will repay the favor I owe you."
Jiang Long touched his chin with one hand, and played with the dagger in his hand with the other, the knife of the masked man leader before was desperately slashed out, almost using all the strength of his body, and at this time, there was a half-inch-long gap on the blade of the dagger.
"Don't you think it's tiring for us to talk like this now?"
The young man smiled and picked up the rope that the masked man had tied with his belt, "Let me pull you up first." ”
But he was about to throw down the rope, but Jiang Long's words made him stunned, "Are we very familiar?" ”
"What do you mean?" The young man instinctively asked.
"Since I'm not familiar with you, I shouldn't be able to beat you, do you think I'll go up now?"
"You!"
The young man's face changed instantly.
"Don't be you, you, if you have something to say, I won't go up until the guards in my house come over."
Jiang Long said calmly.
Although the young man who did not trust and guessed that he was kind to him seemed like a villain, Jiang Long really wouldn't let the young man pull him up now for the sake of prudence.
Otherwise, what if the other party also came to kill him, and just played a trick to trick him into going up?
"Although you are not a gentleman, you are a real villain!"
The young man's face changed for a while, and his expression gradually softened, "But it's much cuter than those hypocrites." ”
"Looks like you've fallen for a hypocrite?"
"Let's not talk about the past." Thinking of the past, a flash of anger and gloom flashed in the young man's eyes, and then he cheered up and said, "I hope you can rescue a few of my friends from the prison in the capital!" ”
"You look up to me." Jiang Long has really not been in contact with affairs outside the mansion since he crossed over to the present, so although he had witnessed Mrs. Jing's strength in the face of many officials, even a second-rank official, he was still a little unclear about how much weight he had in the face of others.
"Chai Gongzi said that as long as you are willing to contribute, you will definitely be able to rescue a few of my friends!" The young man said with some eagerness, it was obvious that those friends were very important to the young man.
Jiang Long was curious about who the young man was talking about, and said, "I will do my best." ”
"I'm begging you!"
Hearing the slight perfunctory meaning in Jiang Long's tone, the young man clenched his fists and suddenly said: "I, Fan Ren, have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and I have never begged anyone!" ”
"Do you think it's a bit low-minded and shameless?"
Jiang Long, who comes from a wealth of modern experience, sneered: "You also say that I am a real villain, since I am a villain, then there is nothing beneficial, I will not make any effort to do it." ”
"As long as you can rescue a few of my friends, I owe you a favor, and if you encounter difficulties in the future, even if I risk my life, I will definitely do it for you!"
Fan Ren's voice said resolutely, took out an envelope from his arms and pressed it under a stone under his feet, just stopped talking nonsense and turned away.
Obviously, although he has some needs, Fan Ren does not like Jiang Long's personality.
waited until Fan Ren's figure disappeared under the mountain, and the striker relaxed, happily climbing on the edge of the cliff, shaking his head and shouting, "Wangwang." ”
Voices echoed through the valley.
If Jiang Long didn't make a sound, the striker would definitely be in a hurry, and in desperation, he could only keep talking and interacting with the striker.
After a while, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army finally appeared at the foot of the mountain one after another.
