Chapter 217: Ambush
For the Khitan tribes, the vast and rich territory of Liaodong is the land they dream of, due to the rapid increase in the tribal population in recent years, they need more and more food and land to support the long-term development of the Khitan clan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, the farther and colder northern cold plains are extremely barren, so often when winter is about to begin, the Tang border pass has been repeatedly attacked by Khitan elite cavalry, and all kinds of materials, including grain, have been looted. And this three-year drought not only affected the people in the land of Liaodong, but also was a torturous day for the Khitan tribes, which were not very rich in products.
Therefore, the Khitan royal family listened to the advice of the Khitan holy priest, increased the harassment of the border passes in the past three years, and constantly sent saucers to infiltrate the territory of the Tang Dynasty to find out the intelligence of Liaodong, and at the same time waited for an opportunity to break into the officialdom of Liaodong. However, due to the unbeautiful nature of the heavens and the boiling grievances of the people of all ethnic groups, the Khitan royal court headed by the royal family surnamed He could not continue to quietly infiltrate Liaodong, so they had to launch a heavy army to invade the Tang border pass when the summer was about to begin.
Under the operation of the saucer that infiltrated the Tang Dynasty earlier, the escape action of leaving the hometown soon evolved from a village to a prefecture and county, and even directly swept the entire land of Liaodong, and at the same time, the Khitan royal court also sent a batch of time bombs created by the Khitan holy priests and the high-level of the Yin Corpse Sect into the tide of victims through the passage that was laid in advance, and pointed at the core of the land of Liaodong - Youzhou.
As the base camp of Hebei Province, Youzhou is an important city integrating politics, culture and economy, if the Khitan clan can not take Youzhou for the first time, then when the Tang temple comes to its senses, it will use Youzhou as a shield to send a steady stream of military resources to Youzhou through the canal, so as to resist the Khitan invasion. At the same time, the Khitan also had no way to quickly eat the chaotic An Dajie in the rear.
As for the Khitan alien race that Duan Pingsheng encountered on the way to Wanbei Mountain, they were only a small group of pioneers at the earliest, and they had only one task, that is, to recapture the head of the Helan High Priest, and at the same time kill Duan Pingsheng to take revenge.
It's just that these Khitan alien races failed to succeed at that time, and the two sets of plans to use the tide of disaster victims to capture Youzhou, and let the cold poison plague turn Youzhou into a human purgatory, also came to naught.
All of this has a lot to do with Duan Ping's survival, if he didn't agree to Li Jiangbei's request and appear outside Youzhou City tonight, then the old Khitan man would choose to continue to endure until a certain public resentment boiled, and then quietly act. However, his luck was not good, and he encountered many masters gathered outside the north gate, and it was inevitable that he would fall short!
And just when the old Khitan man carried the black flames, burned down the granary and crashed headlong into the city wall, Duan Pingsheng also encountered a sudden attack.
Duan Pingsheng used his body to walk in front of him, while Nian Nujiao and Jia Longyang followed, the two of them just guarded Duan Pingsheng from being attacked from behind, but they never thought that the enemy had already been ambushed on their way to the border army camp.
A dart burst through the air, and at a speed far beyond the limit of Duan Ping's life, it went straight to his eyebrows.
Obviously, the realm of the person who launched the attack must be far beyond Duan Pingsheng, and Nian Nujiao and Jia Longyang, who noticed that something was wrong, wanted to make a move, but they were shocked to find that the opponent hidden in the shadows had a realm slightly higher than them.
And at this moment, a ghost-like white figure suddenly appeared in front of Duan Pingsheng's eyes, blocking the dart, this person was the white-clothed shadow guard, and then, the master who launched the sneak attack before immediately appeared, hiding under the black night clothes, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.
"Zhao Whale City! I've been thinking I'll meet you for a long time! ā
A hoarse voice came out of the black veil, and Duan Pingsheng and the others immediately noticed that this was not the original sound quality of this person, but it was just deliberately done to cover up their identity. The white-clothed shadow guard didn't want to say much, and Nian Nujiao and Jia Longyang immediately stood beside him to help him.
However, the man in black didn't put Nian Nujiao and Jia Longyang in his eyes, and sneered: "Zhao Whale City, you are also a figure who was in the middle of the world a hundred years ago, you don't even have this guts, right?" Lao Tzu is also a seven-story building, I want to compete with you today to see if you have regressed in kung fu over the years! ā
Duan Pingsheng frowned slightly, and said in his heart that this person was really a little shameless, the white-clothed shadow guard was about to die, and his physique was not as good as before, even if time allowed him to gain very deep combat experience, but he also suffered from that rotten body, and his heart was weak. This person deliberately provoked, obviously trying to take advantage of the danger of others, and Duan Pingsheng saw that he had no fear, so there must be a helper hidden by his side.
Sure enough, as soon as the man in black finished speaking, another figure suddenly rushed out, Duan Pingsheng could feel that the realm of the second man in black was not as high as the first, but his tone was very strong: "What nonsense are you talking about with them?" Time is pressing, just kill it! ā
This person's voice was full of anger, but he could clearly hear the deliberate change in voice, and without saying a word, he drew his knife and rushed towards Nian Nujiao, and immediately entangled him to death. The previous man looked at the fiery figure of his companion and sneered: "I think you are in a hurry to hug the beauty!" dignified ......" he paused, without revealing the identity of this person, "There are also such filthy thoughts!" ā
However, the man in black, who was struggling with Nian Nujiao, didn't bother to respond to his taunts, so he stopped saying a word, but once again provoked the white-clothed shadow guard.
"Zhao Whale City, today's battle, you don't want to avoid it!"
When this person spoke, he used a hidden weapon to attack Duan Pingsheng again, and the white-clothed shadow guard sighed in amazement, so he had to set off to meet the enemy. The two immediately started to compete, but the state of the white-clothed shadow guard was not as good as before, and his strength could be maintained on the average line of the seven-story building, but the black-clothed man who was fighting with him seemed to be deliberately retaining his own tricks, so he failed to exert his full strength, and just blindly maneuvered with Zhao Whale City, and did not use a killing move.
Duan Pingsheng saw this scene in his eyes, a faint light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he nodded lightly, and then looked at the battlefield of Nian Nujiao. Although these two people are both in the realm of the six-story building, but the posture of the fight is grander than that of Zhao Whale City, the man in black with a long knife in his hand has no intention of pity and cherishing the jade, and he slashes at the key point of Nian Nujiao, and Nian Nujiao also has some ability, with his delicate body, he is on par with him, and there is no danger for a while.
At this time, Duan Pingsheng was only left with Jia Longyang as a guard, and he didn't let the palace commander go to help, because he knew that there must be a third assassin lurking in the shadows, if Jia Longyang left rashly, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Fortunately, the situation faced by Nian Nujiao is not severe, she knows that she can find time to throw her eyes at Duan Pingsheng, and said coquettishly: "Commander Jia, you better protect the prince and leave, if the slave family moves the real fire for a while, it will not be good for the prince to see it." ā
Duan Pingsheng shook his head, and said in his heart that although this woman was like a snake and scorpion, she was also a smart person, and he immediately asked Jia Longyang to rush to the col where the border army camp was located, because Guo Lin'an, the deputy general of Youzhou, had already arrived there quickly.
The weight of the beggar gang in Duan Pingsheng's heart has reached an extremely important point, so there can be no mistakes at all.
Jia Longyang was angry and dantian, immediately grabbed Duan Pingsheng's shoulders, luck poured into his legs, and quickly left the scene, and at this moment, the cold-faced judge Nie Fengdi, who was at the cost of losing the judge's pen, failed to prevent the outbreak of the source of the plague, and a monstrous death aura suddenly appeared, making the two of them palpitate, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look back, and then saw the appearance of the quiet and scattered people from afar.
However, the third man in black took the opportunity to dispatch, and before the two of them found out, he rushed towards Duan Pingsheng, this person was extremely fast, and actually approached Duan Pingsheng's side before the Qingluan Ling Fire burned out the plague ash, if it wasn't for Duan Someone's travel, he took the bamboo dragon with him, I'm afraid he would have been killed by someone else!
The flames in the sky, the cyan immortal fire that flashed away, completely obscured the cold light that pierced Duan Pingsheng's neck.
The eyes of the person who shot were calm, and he didn't mean to drag the mud and water at all, just to kill, and the shot was crisp and neat, and it was extremely ruthless.
And at this moment, a slender figure appeared on Duan Pingsheng's shoulder, and before the assassin could see its appearance, he suddenly opened his mouth and firmly bit it in the air, and flicked his long tail and slapped it fiercely on the assassin's face.
The power of the bamboo dragon is not comparable to the general existence, in its small body, there is a power comparable to the master of the five-story building, and this black-clothed man who was caught off guard by the bamboo dragon has a similar realm to Jia Longyang, and it is the same five-story building, so this tail of the bamboo dragon did not directly smash his head, but left a bloody scar on his face, and at the same time, it also made his face appear.
Jia Longyang, who noticed something wrong, immediately protected Duan Pingsheng behind him, and when he saw the assassin's accidentally exposed face, his eyes immediately widened, and he said angrily: "Do you Qingluan Hall want to rebel?" ā
It turned out that the identity of the person who did it was Qingluan's subordinates, and Jia Longyang had seen each other in the Qingluan Palace, so he immediately recognized the identity of the other party.
The man found that his identity was exposed, but his complexion did not change much, but he greeted Jia Longyang with a smile: "Brother Longyang, don't be surprised, I am also acting on orders and come to give the prince a knife." ā
Jia Longyang roared angrily: "With me, you don't want to hurt the prince a single hair!" ā
"Brother Longyang, don't say too much!" The man seemed to have a chance in his hands, "I finally caught the opportunity, how could I easily let the prince escape?" ā
Duan Pingsheng, who was standing behind Jia Longyang, glanced at him lightly and asked in a deep voice, "What?" In order to assassinate this king, your Qingluan Palace sent a lot of horses? ā
"Of course not!"
The people in the Qingluan Hall waved their hands and pointed to the quiet scattered people who were making a big fuss: "With that one here, we can only make a small fuss, but before that one rushes over, it is not difficult to take the head of the prince!" ā
"So sure?" Duan Pingsheng looked around, "Do you still have a helper?" ā
However, the Qingluan Hall didn't want to continue to waste time, their faces sank, and they attacked again, Jia Longyang immediately attacked, and the two immediately fought together.
At this moment, Duan Pingsheng was only guarded by a bamboo dragon, and there must be many enemies lurking in the secret, and several silver needles immediately turned out of his hand, and then he found that there was a breeze blowing in his ears, and he didn't want to think about it, so he flashed to the side, narrowly dodging a hidden arrow.
Luo Baiyu!
Duan Pingsheng immediately sensed the identity of the person who shot the arrow, and before he could fight back, bursts of yellow sand actually appeared in front of him. The sound of whistling suddenly sounded, and people couldn't help but have a sense of gloom at the border.
A person came with a knife accompanied by the wind and sand, and he knew that no matter what his exercises, he couldn't hide it, so he simply showed his true face and didn't wear a night suit.
"King Wuyou, you can't win the Longmian Mountain Cliff, tonight, I'll come again to ask for advice!"
Huang Yan had a smug smile on his face, he was angry about the battle on the cliff of Longmian Mountain, because of Duan Pingsheng's strategy, many acupoints on his body had to be inserted with silver needles to suppress the realm, not only that, but he also became a teaching material for Su Cao to teach acupuncture, which battle made him lose face, and also affected the mentality of facing Wu Heita later.
Therefore, Huang Yan always wanted Duan Pingsheng to know the price of offending himself, of course, the price of life!
Knowing that the Qingjing Sanren would arrive soon, Huang Yan didn't mean to talk nonsense at all, and directly used all the strength of the Quadruple Building, wanting to kill Duan Pingsheng here, and at the same time, Luo Baiyu, who was standing in the distance and secretly released cold arrows, also cooperated with him to attack.
These two people are higher than Duan Pingsheng in terms of strength and realm, and when they join forces, they are even more powerful, Duan Pingsheng frowned, if there was no Khitan alien race, he would not face such a danger at this time, in order to hide people's eyes, he deliberately recruited Nian Nujiao secretly, just to guard against accidents on the road, who knows, the sudden attack of the Khitan alien race, directly exposed the existence of Nian Nujiao.
Presumably, Luo Baiyu and the others decided to attack directly, and it was also a temporary decision made because of the Khitan alien race.
In the face of Luo Baiyu and Huang Yan's joint attack, Duan Pingsheng naturally would not sit still, he had already found that the Qingjing Sanren had completely suppressed the cold poison plague, and in a few moments, he would be able to rush here, as long as he could resist the attacks of the two, he would be able to save the day.
Battle, on the verge of breaking out.
Huang Yan of the quadruple building faced Duan Pingsheng of the quadruple building, and he was naturally a crushing existence, but he did not take it lightly at all, because of the existence of the bamboo dragon. Whether it was what he saw with his own eyes, or from the mouths of Luo Baiyu and Li Jiangbei, he had a certain understanding of the existence of the bamboo dragon, so when he was fighting, he was more concerned about the existence of the bamboo dragon, seeing that the bamboo dragon suddenly jumped up from Duan Pingsheng's shoulder and turned into a black shadow and rushed towards him, Huang Yan threw out a large net that exuded a strange aura without saying a word, directly encompassing the bamboo dragon's snare.
Looking at the bamboo dragon who struggled violently but couldn't tear through the big net, Huang Yan sneered: "Little thing, don't struggle, this net is specially prepared for you!" ā
