Chapter 81: The Avengers
In the east of the secret realm, in a peach forest, a large piece of peach blossoms is in full bloom, a winding river divides the peach forest into two pieces, flowing from the northwest to the southeast, from time to time, there is a breeze blowing, the pieces of peach blossoms fall into the flowing water with the breeze, the flowing water is murmuring, the peach blossoms are blooming, a good fairyland on earth.
A leather-clad sergeant of the Divine Command was crouching on the bank of the river, holding an empty jug in his hand, filling it with water.
On the back that the Shence Army couldn't see, a delicate woman in her twenties, wearing a Qixiufang kaleidoscope dress, was quietly approaching, holding a cold and shining sword in her right hand, the tip of the sword was pointing downward, and she was about to pierce the target's stamina with a sword.
From the perspective of human blood vessels, stamina should be a more lethal part than the chest.
However, the woman was not a professional killer after all, and at the moment when she raised her sword, she made a noise under her feet.
I saw that the sergeant of the Shence Army didn't look back, but his body shrank, the sword flashed, and only half of his ears were cut off, and at the same time, a snowy scimitar appeared in his hand, and with a stroke, he blocked the sword of the woman behind him, and as soon as he sent his wrist, the snowy scimitar crossed a graceful arc, and slashed towards the sneak attacker, the Qixiu female disciple.
The elite sergeant of the Shence Army is really not easy to deal with, the delicate woman thought so in her heart, and she dodged on one side of her body.
The half ear on the left side of the Shence sergeant was cut off, the blood flowed all over his face, his face was hideous, he roared like a beast, and the sword light slashed down obliquely, without fancy moves, it was fast, heavy, and the power of the peak martial artist of the Houtian Realm was fully exerted.
The power of this knife is so great, it is not possible to take it hard, the delicate woman is very calm, she did not block it with a horizontal sword, but used her internal qi and slashed to the side of the scimitar with a sword.
The swords intersected, making a "dang" sound, and the heavy knife momentum was swung to the side, and the striking force generated by the delicate woman's internal qi in her whole body far exceeded that of ordinary adults.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the sergeant's sword to block and expose the vacancy in his chest, the delicate woman approached the side of the sergeant with an arrow step, and a white jade-colored finger stabbed at his right rib with a cold wind.
At this time, the sergeant's scimitar was blocked by the woman's sword, and there was no way to resolve the crisis by changing the path of the sword.
Seeing that this finger was about to be implemented, a fierce light flashed in the sergeant's eyes, and with an "ah" sound, he exerted all his strength, and forcibly moved out of a distance of three inches, and dodged this finger at the last moment, and the finger wind hit a peach tree not far behind him with his leather armor, and blew a hole in the peach tree with the thickness of the bowl.
"Giggles, worthy of being the elite of the Divine Army, this can also be avoided. After seeing the sergeant dodge this finger, the delicate woman did not pursue, but stopped in place, and said with a smile.
The sergeant didn't care to cover his injured ear, held a scimitar in his hand, looked at the delicate woman in front of him with full vigilance, and asked puzzledly: "The relationship between our court and your Qixiufang is not bad, why did you kill as soon as you met?"
"Hehe, of course it's because I have a great enmity with your Shence Army!" the delicate woman laughed again, her lips lightly opened, and she said such a sentence, with bitter hatred in her soft tone.
The sergeant frowned, as a member of the Shence Army, he knew very well what the unit he belonged had done over the years, killing the whole family for the sake of gold and silver! Killing the whole family for the sake of treasures! Killing the whole family for the sake of the secret books of the exercises! Sometimes even for the sake of a beautiful woman, he had to kill the whole family, just to take the woman back and play for two days, and when he got tired of playing, he would throw it into a brothel and sell it for two silver dollars. He couldn't count the number of such things, and he really couldn't remember which thing this woman was a victim of.
The delicate woman has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world over the years, and she knew what he was thinking as soon as the sergeant's brows furrowed, and there was no longer the fake smile on her face just now, and she said coldly: "Why, as the elite of the Shence Army, you should know about Baitou Town." ”
The sergeant was stunned, Baitou Town, he really knew about this matter, three years ago, this matter was very troublesome, it can be said that the whole dynasty knew about it, and he naturally heard about it.
Datang implements a three-level system of "Daozhou County", which is divided into ten provinces, 360 prefectures, and 1,557 counties.
Baitou Town, is a very prosperous town in the hinterland of the Central Plains, located in the left near Chang'an, the junction of the edge of the two counties, the road is wide, the terrain is flat, and it is the confluence of the Hebei source and the source of the Baidai River, it is very convenient to travel, at the same time, this area is also a trading place for local goods such as tea oil, timber, tung oil, gallnut and cowhide, and it is also the distribution center of foreign goods such as linen yarn. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, merchants from various states and counties have poured into this place to do business, and merchants have gathered, and there is an endless stream of merchants.
The mayor of Baitou Town is a middle-aged man surnamed Nian, he is very capable, the town is well organized, and the taxes handed over to the imperial court every year can be compared with some poor states and counties, and at the same time, he is also very honest and fair as an official, he has not been bribed by a businessman, nor has he bullied the people of Pingtou, so the official reputation is very good, and he is very loved by the townspeople.
Mayor Nian has a very beautiful daughter, named Nian Bingxi, and the people around her say that she has the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon.
Since ancient times, there have been many disasters and waters, this is not false at all, the rumors about Nian Bingxi's appearance soon fell into the ears of Li Zixiong, the commander of the Shence Arms Attack Battalion, Li Zixiong is a demon in the color, his name is famous in the Chang'an realm, after hearing that there is such a beauty around him, where can he bear it, he immediately rushed to Baitou Town with the soldiers of the fire attack camp, to see if this Nian Bingxi is as beautiful as the rumors.
Mayor Nian had also heard of Li Zixiong's notoriety, so he was willing to let his daughter come out to see him, and after the two couldn't talk for a while, they broke up unhappily.
Mayor Nian knew that Li Zixiong was not a person who was willing to give up, and for the sake of his daughter's happiness, he must not let his daughter fall into the hands of Li Zixiong, so he sent his daughter into the secret passage in the firewood room in the backyard, and told her to go out from the secret passage and go to Chang'an to join her uncle, while he stayed and dealt with Li Zixiong.
Three days later, Li Zixiong, who had never seen a beauty, finally burst into a rage, and ordered his soldiers to surround Mayor Nian's house, pour fire oil, throw torches, and burn Mayor Nian's family alive, only Nian Bingxi survived.
Because the mayor of Nian usually treats the people like children, so when Li Zixiong first started fire prevention, many townspeople brought their own wooden barrels and water to extinguish the fire, but after Li Zixiong ordered to kill several people on the spot, no one dared to go up, but after the incident, someone went to Chang'an to sue the royal court.
In the hinterland of the Central Plains, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, such a tragic incident actually happened, the Son of Heaven was extremely angry, and ordered all departments to strictly investigate, Li Zixiong immediately made a decision, and immediately beat the complainant to death, and bribed the important ministers of the court with heavy money, and finally suppressed this matter.
After this incident, everyone thought that Nian Bingxi also died in the fire, but she didn't think about it, she was still alive, and she joined Qixiufang, she was really unlucky, the sergeant secretly said in his heart, he knew that there was no possibility of resolving such a big feud between the two, so he could only fight to the death and fight to find a way out.
Just as he was about to strike first, a sword stabbed through his back, stabbing out of his chest and piercing his heart.
Nian Bingxi looked at the sergeant's face distorted by his near death, laughed happily, and said, "Why do you think I'm standing here talking nonsense with you, it's all because I'm attracting your attention, so that my junior sister can easily kill you." ”
Senior sister, yes, there are a total of two people in Qixiufang who have entered the secret realm, and they are careless, this is the last thought of the sergeant before he dies.
