Chapter 8: Crossing the Bridge
How much ice and bones, how much fire to chop up, is empty, is a dream, is the last candle in the vanity, you can touch this huge screen, you can't get through the emotion.
In the moonlit night, this original cold spear would become hot, and as soon as I healed my arms, it was like holding a charcoal fire, burning my hands again, and the huge pupils in the spear changed like this injab-like pain for me to remember forever. In this way, day after day, the hands of Bailian were better day by day, and finally once a red lotus bloomed in the huge pupil of the illusion, and then I saw the giant bird landing on a wooden branch and watching quietly, and after that, the ice and fire could not hurt me again.
Countless times I woke up from the military tent with my horse's skin on my pillow, and countless times I swung my arms to see the county lord, until I was able to shoot the whole set of marksmanship in front of her, she did not smile.
"County Lord, why don't you like to talk these days?"
"Shao Qi, what are the spear cherry trees used for?"
"Find the target of the gun."
I don't know why she asked, but I know she doesn't want me to touch the gun these days.
In the past few days, from time to time, there will be ordinary people who have fled the war on the side of the school field to beg for food, and the county lord and I both know in our hearts that the war is not far away. Donghai Hou not long ago connected the five southern cities, and soon will fight here, this is not a city, but the most elite troops in Nanshan Hou, he always thinks that it is safest to take his daughter with him, and in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops who have rushed over, he has no choice but to send the county lord back to Jinyang, the southern capital.
"Listen, if you defeat everyone in this contest, you can wear silver armor and stay with the county lord forever."
I looked at the gun in my hand and patted my unarmored chest
"Master Han, please wear my armor with your own hands that day."
The open space in the school field is surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers, the square circle is orderly, there is a viewing platform near the north, the county lord stands on the side of a corner, Nanshan Hou sits on a poplar carved tiger chair in the center, there are three pairs of silver armor and a Jin Ling on the platform on the side of the platform, and Han Shi stands on the side of the platform to Xuan
"Chengnan waits for the order, performs martial arts today, the victor will give silver armor, and the most exquisite martial arts, the county lord will give Jin Ling." In the blink of an eye, the cry was thunderous.
I haven't fought against each other, and I'm not afraid of death, I know that this is my way, a beautiful road, I want to get that Jin Ling, and I want to be half a step away from her forever.
I was the first to walk up to the round platform with a gun, and a veteran with a long knife and white temples came up on the opposite side, I just stood like that, and when he rushed over, he saw that I didn't move, and he was also stunned, and looked back at Han Shi on the stage, and the audience was booing
"Go on!"
Han Shi motioned for him to continue attacking, I held the gun tightly, thinking about how to block him, I didn't pay attention to his knife has been in front of my eyes, I leaned back and turned around, and dodged, I was not afraid, but I felt that he was so slow, and the audience was also a burst of exclamation, but I didn't know how to fight back, he attacked several times and was dodged by me one by one, maybe a little annoyed and angry, he dropped the long knife, and grabbed my shoulders with his bare fists, I was suddenly pulled down by him, the rough fist fell heavily on my face, I grabbed the gun with one hand, and blocked my face with the other hand, The corners of his mouth were bleeding from the beatings on both sides, and when he saw that my covered hand had no strength, he let go of his hand and stood up, raising his fist and shouting to the audience
"I won! I won! ”
I tilted my head to sit up and saw her tear off the hood she was wearing
"Shao Qi! Are you okay! Don't fight, don't fight! Come here! ”
The voice pierced through the crowd
"I'm fine! Princess! Wait a minute! It's going to be right away! ”
I landed on the ground with a gun, slowly got up, rubbed my hand on my body, and saw it cleaner, I reached out to untie the snow-white gun cherry blossom, and carefully put it into my arms, and the audience screamed again
"You kid! Trick me? ”
"Come again!"
My reply was sonorous, and the audience was silent all of a sudden, and they all looked at me suspiciously, and their eyes didn't care at all.
He grabbed his long knife again and lunged at me, I still felt him slow, his arms shaky and loose, and I waited for him to rush in front of me.
The front bow leg was inserted into his left crotch, and his left hand clasped his right hand holding the knife, and the tip of the knife immediately plunged deep into the ground, pressing down hard, he lost his balance and leaned forward, and I held a few inches below the head of the gun in my right hand, like holding a dagger, close to his neck, the tip of the gun was pointed at his jaw, he was kneeling on one knee, looking at me with frightened eyes, and his nose was panting
"Am I winning?"
“… Yes..."
He couldn't speak, I slowly let go, and he staggered off the stage, and the people below exclaimed
"This boy! What a quick move! ”
I touched the gun cherry in my arms, looked at her on the viewing platform and slowly put on her hat with a smile, and jumped lightly to sit next to Nanhou, looking at me quietly, although I couldn't see through the veil.
"Shao Qi! One win! ”
I was still standing on the stage, waiting for the next person, and I was empty, not because I won a game and became arrogant, but the meaning of victory or defeat was not Yinjia Jin Ling for me, it was her own hands.
A silver-armored general walked up to the stage, the audience cheered thunderously, shouted to the sky, Nanhou couldn't help but come up to watch the battle, I think he has silver armor, presumably to take this Jin Ling.
"Young man, the body is about to come out of the phantom, I am impressed, I don't know how your marksmanship is?"
"General."
I plugged the gun deeper, put the gun behind me, standing sideways, my wheezing nose just raised slightly before it fell, he had already rushed forward with the sword, this body was so fast, in a trance pointed straight to the heart, I jumped up in the air, drew the gun and swept down, bounced off his blade, before I landed, he turned around and raised the sword in the air, I leaned back in the air and turned over, the blade of the sword against my collar, we swapped places, standing at both ends of the stage, the drums and cheers under the stage continued
"A young man, at such a young age, he has learned such marksmanship."
"Hmm."
I didn't bother to say much, I sprinted with my gun, and he also came with his sword raised. A deep horse step, the spear struck horizontally, the spear rushed forward to hit his sword, a buzzing sound, and then when the tip of the spear was turned to his eyebrows, the sound of the sword landing broke the silence for a long time.
Life is a thousand autumn rain, soldiers rise Yulin birds fly together,
Then he looked at the mountains for thousands of miles, and the witch prayed for the witch mountain to descend the witch,
The old horse rings and covets, and if the crossing comes to the stream.
