Chapter 109: Hardships and Obstacles
"Princess Rui be careful, when you make a move later, you must follow closely behind the last general." Zhou Tingpu turned his head and hurriedly caught a glimpse of the blood-dripping long sword in Du Yiyi's hand, and couldn't help but forget to glance at Du Yiyi's expression again. The corners of the tightly pursed lips and the frowning brows could see a trace of panic, and the solemn eyes seemed to be a little murderous. The general's sister, really different from ordinary people, originally thought that she was just a foolish woman who wanted to live and die for her feelings, but now it seems that Princess Rui, who lives with the general in Jingcheng, also has a bloody nature.
"Brother Zhou, don't worry, wait for you to let go and kill the enemy." Although he was tightly guarded by the soldiers in the middle, Du Yiyi still felt a taste of banter in the eyes of the man in black in front of him.
This person is very dangerous, and he has the smell of danger on Shen Ke.
"Good! Brothers! Today we will let go of the battle, even if it is death, it will die a glorious death! ”
Du Yiyi's calm words made Zhou Tingpu's heart dissipate a trace of worry, as soon as he lifted the sword and stepped forward, a soldier immediately filled his gap, a loud shout, resounded through the street, and the long sword that crossed the corpse stabbed towards the man in black.
He also knew that the man in black was the most dangerous of these people.
"Humph!" The man in black snorted arrogantly, and met Zhou Tingpu with the scimitar in his hand.
The life of a battlefield is always the cheapest, today in this capital shrouded by the law, everyone's lives are worthless, Du Yiyi has never held a sword, but on the path outside Yaozhou, she subdued the coachman with a dagger, she is not afraid, because she must move forward bravely on this road, at this time in her heart, countless pictures that have never appeared before are flashing, the shadow of the heroic and unparalleled fight in the Jin Ge Iron Horse is Shen Ke, her body, it seems that there is suddenly an inexplicable force, The skills of how to kill people flashed in her mind, for everyone, the neck is the weakest place, for men, the neck and the belly are the weakest places, those attacking postures are something she has never seen in her previous life, Du Yiyi met Shen Ke in Jingcheng, before she came to this world, Jingcheng was the most chaotic place in Dahe, the war has been going on for many years, and the beacon fire is endless, this is the power that Du Yiyi gave her.
She warned herself over and over again that the people here are no different from pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks, if you kill them, there will be no government to investigate, no one will come to ask you for your life, and no one will accuse.
Either you die or I die.
When we meet on a narrow road, it has always been the brave who wins the brave who live.
The clash between the knife and the sword, accompanied by a strong male shout and a sinister and piercing laughter, as soon as the two fought, the rebels behind had already arrived in front of the soldiers, and the soldiers around Du Yiyi tacitly dispatched, leaving only one person to protect Du Yiyi's safety, and the others rushed to this group of wolves without thinking about it and used their own weapons to use their strength.
For the time being, Du Yiyi is still safe, but this is only temporary.
When the scimitar slashed through the weakest neck of the soldier in front of Du Yiyi, she seemed to hear the sound of the trachea rupturing before the blood gushed out, even though she was mentally prepared, even though there were so many corpses in front of her to stimulate her nerves and numb her, but when the warm blood was like water gushing out of a water pipe, most of it splashed on her body, she was still stunned.
Warm and sticky feeling, she couldn't help but think of the blood wang she had eaten to replenish the blood, and a fishy taste rushed into her mouth with a fishy taste in her throat, she clenched her teeth, and followed the soldier who was watching her closely take a few steps back, watching the soldier stab the man's chest with the sword in his hand the next moment.
There was no thrill of revenge, and she frowned at the blood that came out as the sword was drawn.
"Take Princess Rui first!" Zhou Tingpu, who was fighting with the man in black, roared loudly and blocked the scimitar above his head with his scabbard.
"Yes!" The current situation was unfavorable, and the soldiers who were guarding Du Yiyi immediately took Du Yiyi and ran away to the side of the small lane.
I knew how many pounds and taels I knew, Du Yiyi followed behind the soldiers, running desperately.
"Where to go!" The man in black sneered and picked Zhou Tingpu's long sword away, and flew up to the roof like a volley, Zhou Tingpu secretly said badly, and immediately flew up with him.
On the roof, the man in black kicked a red tile and pulled the corners of his mouth: "Suffer death!" ”
As soon as he saw the red tile, he jumped forward and threw Du Yiyi to the ground, thick and cold blood, staining Du Yiyi's light green clothes, and sticking the fluff on the edge of the cloak outside her.
The air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, and when Du Yiyi turned around, he only saw soldiers whose faces were covered with blood but didn't care to wipe them.
"Princess Rui, run!" The blood-red mouth closed one by one, which made Du Yiyi can't help but think of the word red lips, this is blood mixed with the blood of how many people?
Stunned for a moment, more important than thinking about nausea and nausea is her life and the purpose of her trip, she ran away desperately, these people are responsible for protecting her own safety, although she feels guilty and violates her previous principles, but she still has to run, not running, only two people died here.
It seemed that in the midst of the clash of swords, she heard the sound of chaotic footsteps.
She ran desperately, running towards the road to the Qin State Mansion, she had never been to the Qin State Mansion, she only knew its general direction, which was the direction to Shen Ke.
She didn't care to look at the dying soldier lying in a pool of blood in his vest with the red tile, red, once the color of her greatest fear, but today, she had overcome her fear, this was once from the fear of death.
"There are enemies! Brothers, do it! Behind her, there was a sound of rustling, and the sound of fighting became louder, she gasped and stopped, the reinforcements finally arrived, and she was safe again.
Roof tiles flying, although Zhou Tingpu is not outstanding in martial arts, but he has been in the army for many years, and he is also a person who has been honed from the battlefield, plus he is diligent and hardworking, and he is skilled in swordsmanship and ruthless, and he entered the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion at his age, which is already an outlier among young people, but Shen Ke is more different than him, and it is precisely because of this that Zhou Tingpu will be impressed by Shen Ke's talent and become his loyal confidant.
The man in black and Zhou Tingpu fought equally, at first he was still full of ambition and regarded Du Yiyi as a fish in the pond and a bird in a cage, he became more and more impatient, and the tiles only hit the soldiers and did not hit Du Yiyi, he wanted to do it again, but he was restrained by Zhou Tingpu every time, especially after every knife was blocked by Zhou Tingpuge, he became more and more angry and unbearable.
"Who are you? I don't die under the sword, a nameless lonely soul! ”
He asked Zhou Tingpu's name, but Zhou Tingpu only gave him a sneer.
He was furious again, the scimitar in his hand danced like a sickle so that people couldn't see the original appearance, Du Yiyi hid himself in a safe corner, squinting at the two people fighting on the roof from afar!
With the reinforcements of reinforcements, those wolf-like rebels were slaughtered, and one of the generals in the reinforcements also jumped up to the roof after seeing the two people fighting on the roof, and joined the fight, and the other surviving soldiers found Du Yiyi and firmly protected her around, and the group of men and horses who came with reinforcements were also pouring into the lane, waiting for their commander to slash the rebels.
With the addition of the general, Zhou Tingpu on the roof was even more imposing, but it was just a few moves, and the two knocked the man in black off the roof, and the man in black knew that he was not an opponent, and after falling off the roof, he immediately got up and wanted to escape, but was stopped by Zhou Tingpu's horizontal sword that fell down.
"Aren't you just horizontal? Why isn't it horizontal? Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone is punished, and they dare to slander the emperor. Zhou Tingpu turned his backhand, and the flipped blade slashed through the skin between the neck of the man in black, oozing a bloody mark.
The man in black stepped back and snorted coldly.
"This brother, I am Zhou Tingpu, a personal soldier under the command of General Shen of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and I am in a hurry, so this chaotic minister and thief will be handed over to you to deal with!" Zhou Tingpu was too lazy to speak, put his sword into the sheath, and kicked the man in black to the ground.
"I'm Luo Xiuqin, the leader of the second patrol team at the east gate of the city! Now that the rebels have spread throughout the city, brother, you must be careful, if there is an accident, you can fire an arrow, and when we see it, we will rush to support! The general who fought side by side with Zhou Tingpu gathered his sword and clenched his fist, and trampled the man in black under his feet.
"So thank you, Brother Luo!"
The two sides said goodbye, Zhou Tingpu put the surviving soldiers in order, and moved again with Du Yiyi, Luo Xiuqin saw that Zhou Tingpu had weak manpower and a woman in the middle, and also assigned ten men to command Zhou Tingpu.
The Mansion of Qin is getting closer and closer, this road stops and stops, many times with the rebels on the street, but under Zhou Tingpu's vigilance, a few people did not meet the rebels, several rebels who were scattered were quickly solved by Zhou Tingpu, although the Duke of Qin is fighting with the rebels in the palace, but the guards of the Duke of Qin are not weak, from the outside patrol of the guards, there must be at least a thousand people here, Zhou Tingpu said, the family members of the Duke of Qin have left Beijing, and the Mansion of the Duke of Qin is now equivalent to an empty mansion, Even if it is to prevent others from destroying the Qin State Mansion, there is no need to send so many soldiers and horses to defend it, there must be something important here, and now that the rebels have entered the palace, the emperor has long been too busy to take care of himself, and he has no extra energy to send extra troops to visit here, Zhou Tingpu came here and walked around, and was targeted by several powerful people and could only leave in embarrassment, and he couldn't go deep into it at all, but he was sure of one thing, that is, Shen Ke would inevitably be in the Qin State Mansion.
"There are more than two hundred guards at the front door of the Duke of Qin, and there are nearly two hundred guards at the back door, and the patrol team inside patrols when it is reversed, and there will be patrolling guards outside the important courtyards for the Duke of Qin at almost every time period, the Duke of Qin is a gift from the Holy Ancestor, covering an area of hundreds of acres, it is not easy to find a person, what we have to do is to sneak in, find out where the general is, and wait for the opportunity to rescue!"
Behind a pile of dustpans in a remote alley, Zhou Tingpu held a map of the Qin State Mansion and drew a few patrol holes with everyone.
"When is the best time?" The soldier took Zhou Tingpu's instructions to heart one by one, and asked Zhou Tingpu with a fist.
"The best time is when Ganzhou reinforcements attack the palace and the horn of victory sounded in the palace. The most important thing at the moment is to find someone, and wait patiently after ensuring the safety of the general! Zhou Tingpu took the map back into his arms and made a few cryptic gestures with his soldiers, who obeyed the order and immediately turned sideways to let Zhou Tingpu walk in front.
"Princess Rui! I'll send a few people here to protect you, I believe that there should be no rebels here, you can hide here for the time being, and wait for the general to rescue the general and come back to meet you!" ”
Zhou Tingpu is still afraid, Du Yiyi is a mentally handicapped woman, although she has just seen blood and has not seen panic, but her identity is absolutely not to be lost.
"Brother Zhou, my words are clear enough, I must go and save Shen Ke today." Du Yiyi still held the picked up sword tightly in her hand, and the light green skirt was already bright red.
Zhou Tingpu was silent for a moment, and finally took off the armor on his body and handed it to Du Yiyi. "Since the princess insists, please ask the princess to put on this armor."
Du Yiyi stared at the blood-stained armor, put down the sword in his hand, put it on his body, tied the rope on both ribs, and Zhou Tingpu took off the helmet again and let her wear it on the top of her head.
"Later we each try to sneak in in pairs, you in a group, you in a group............ If you get the news, you can send out the arrow on your body, and the others will see the arrow and rush to support, understand? Zhou Tingpu held the sword at his waist and divided the eighteen people in front of him into nine groups, and his stern gaze swept over the soldiers in front of him.
"Understood!"
The soldiers whispered in unison.
"One more moment is when they change shifts, and we only have half a moment to disguise ourselves and remember not to reveal our identities."
"Yes!"
These were all well-trained soldiers, and they were absolutely obedient to the orders of their superiors, and after Zhou Tingpu finished the order, he led them to lurk behind the two piles of dustpans, staring at the guards patrolling back and forth in front of the Qin Mansion like a vicious wolf waiting to hunt.
The heavy armor still has the temperature of Zhou Tingpu's body, and the bulky helmet is so heavy that Du Yiyi can't straighten his neck, Zhou Tingpu found a sword for her on the corpse on the ground, and also pulled out a piece of armor for himself, everyone's armor is no different from the guard, if it weren't for their neat and orderly and they waited for the opportunity to move, there would be no difference at all.
