Chapter 223: Outside the city
During the meal, Gu Qiuyu called Xiao Er and asked him about the matter in the prison city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
That Xiao Er is also a talkative person, and when he saw that the two of them were dressed as fortune tellers, he did not have any disdain, but explained the original nature of the city clearly.
After Gu Qiuyu heard it, he suddenly felt that the world was so big, there were no surprises, and he still had too little to see and hear.
It turned out that the location of this prison city was close to the flag country, and there was no war between the Cang country and the flag country, and this place was not a strategic place, but in recent years, the power of the country has become more and more powerful, and in order to prevent the country from attacking the country through the flag country, the country of Cangguo has spent nearly thirty years to build it into its current state.
The area of this city is in the territory of Cangguo, and it is also one of the largest cities, but there are not many people.
And one of the most curious is the huge stone building in the city, the shopkeeper said that the stone building was here before the Prayer Prison City, and the Weng City of the Prayer Prison City was also built because of this building, first built the inner city, and then the outer city.
This stone building is not an artificial foundation, it was originally a black stone mountain, and then someone dug a cave in the mountain, and then dug it up layer by layer.
Later, the former monarch of Cangguo took a fancy to this stone mountain and began to build a stone tower on it.
It took so much money and effort just because the monarch of Cangguo was ready to turn that stone mountain into the largest prison in the country, and it was not ordinary sinners who were imprisoned, but people who committed serious crimes in Cangguo.
Most of them are martial artists, and all the martial artists who are imprisoned in this prison will be punished the most cruelly, and the most outrageous thing is that there are still the best doctors in this prison in the country!
Legend has it that at that time, there would be a chilling howl in the stone building every night.
This prison is like a sharp sword, hanging above the heads of all the warriors in the country.
Hearing this, Gu Qiuyu thought to himself that maybe this was why there were so many soldiers at the city gate, and they searched very carefully.
After the two of them finished eating, they both felt that it was too hot outside, and Lin Qiqi didn't say what to do next, so he found an inn at random to rest.
......
On the way outside the prison city, Lu Shixiao was on his way, although the weather was very hot, Lu Shixiao was very happy in his heart. I just took a job in the Prison Prayer City and took the initiative to give fifty taels of silver, just hand over a bamboo tube to the Qingxuan faction stationed in the three-legged pass of the Yang Kingdom.
He had just left the city of Prayer Prison not far when he heard the noise behind him, and when he looked back, it was dusty and smoky, as if an army was coming towards him.
Helpless, Lu Shixiao had to take the road in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, and wanted to go west.
But at this time, there were four people walking opposite him, these four people were very tall and tight-dressed, and when they saw Lu Shixiao, two of them slowed down when they walked, and when the other two walked by, Lu Shixiao found that he had been surrounded in the middle.
Lu Shixiao didn't say well in his heart, to say that there are not many people who rob the road, and in such a day, I am afraid that it is not for money to dare to rob during the day.
said that it was too late and that was fast, without waiting for the four of them to react, Lu Shixiao secretly thought in his heart, and ran away.
One of the four immediately raised his hand and shot two short arrows from his sleeve, hitting Lu Shixiao's back, but seeing that Lu Shixiao's speed did not decrease, and there was no blood flowing on the ground, he was already out of the three zhang in a blink of an eye. The four of them hurriedly turned around and chased wildly, and the speed was not slow.
Lu Shixiao was wearing a rattan robe, this rattan robe was made of old rattan in the north, and the seventy pounds of heavy knives were cut constantly, and he was not afraid of two sleeve arrows, but if he was targeted at the head, he was afraid that he would die.
I saw him running all the way under his feet, straight to the road.
On the main road and seeing passers-by, Lu Shixiao had a little bottom in his heart, but he saw a group of cavalry coming from across the road, about a dozen people, led by a young man, wearing iron armor and an iron helmet on his head, dressed as a lieutenant. The others were all rattan armors, and in a blink of an eye, they had surrounded Lu Shixiao in the middle.
The young lieutenant glanced at Lu Shixiao, looked back and said, "It's the road, take it!" As soon as the words fell, Lu Shixiao had already turned around and fled to the path again.
The four people who were chasing after him also rushed out at this time, and they all had swords in their hands, and the lieutenant jumped off his horse, landed beside Lu Shixiao, lifted him up, and threw him into his team. Immediately, a cavalryman pointed a spear at his throat, and his body suddenly did not dare to move.
The lieutenant jumped back and immediately shouted, "Who, armed within five miles of the city, take it." ”
Hearing this, instead of retreating, the four of them suddenly pounced on the cavalry, one of them went straight to Lu Shixiao, and the other three cut down the three cavalry from their horses in the blink of an eye.
The cavalry who restrained Lu Shixiao was just stunned, and Lu Shixiao under the gun had rolled to the side of the road.
And the person who rushed to Lu Shixiao felt the sound of wind behind him, turned around, and slashed at him with a long knife.
The men on the ground fought with the cavalry, and suffered a great loss from the distance, and there was a lot of difference in strength, and few people on the ground used weapons to directly catch the cavalry's sword, but this man held the handle of the knife with both hands and took the knife hard.
Everyone heard a crisp sound, and the horse took a step back, and the lieutenant's long knife was flicked high, and his body pressed down on the horse's body.
And the man who received the knife sat on the ground, his hands bleeding, and there was a large gap in the steel knife.
One of the three saw that his accomplice was injured, but he did not come to the rescue, and ran away again.
Lu Shixiao couldn't care so much now, and he got up and wanted to run again, but he was slashed on the waist by the lieutenant with a knife on the back, and he suddenly fell on the ground and couldn't get up.
restrained Lu Shixiao, the lieutenant reflexively slashed at the person next to him, the man no longer took it hard, retreated, and sent out two more arrows from his sleeve, one of which hit the lieutenant's left arm.
When the lieutenant saw that his left arm had been pierced by a short arrow, he couldn't help but be furious, and with a loud roar from his mouth, the hearts of the people who were shocked were so confused that they could barely hold their weapons.
But this roar was a disservice to the lieutenant, and the ten men under his command were unable to move freely under the roar, while the other three recovered much faster, and in the blink of an eye, four more were cut off their horses.
Fortunately, one of the people who fell off the horse before was not seriously injured, and a shot in the back stabbed a person, and the two who were not injured saw that there was no hope of victory, turned around and wanted to leave, but were stopped by the remaining horses, and the two sides froze on the ground for a while.
Everyone was fighting on the road, and naturally there were pedestrians passing by, and when they saw this formation, they were frightened and avoided far away, but one person rode from the direction of Prayer Hell City and stopped not far away.
Three of the horsemen who had been cut off their horses were not seriously wounded, and had wobbled back on their horses, with large drops of blood still rolling down their bodies.
It's a frightening sight.
Seeing this, the other two men knew that they were not good, and they raised their swords and rushed at the wounded soldiers, trying to kill them from this weak point.
At this moment, everyone only felt like thunder exploding in their ears, and they were shocked by a loud sound.
Everyone present except for the lieutenant fell to the ground, and Lu Shixiao, who finally gasped for breath, couldn't move again.
This blow came from the man on horseback in the distance, Lu Shixiao was already strange when he saw this person coming, and just now he caught a glimpse of this person holding a fire jar in his hand. It was this fire jar that was thrown and exploded, knocking everyone down, and several people seemed to be blown up to death.
After the lieutenant was injured by the sneak attack just now, he had used all his internal qi to protect his body, but under the blow, he was also greatly shaken.
He immediately concentrated on his strength, only to see the long knife in his hand suddenly turn red, and two red rays of light shot towards the man.
The man jumped from his horse, and two red rays of light struck a tree on the side of the road, cutting two large holes in the tree.
And the man rushed towards the fallen crowd, a red talisman slapped on Lu Shixiao's body in his hand, and two fireballs in his hand hit the lieutenant directly, its speed was so fast that people like Lu Shixiao, who had practiced speed for more than ten years, were also dumbfounded.
But Lu Shixiao's speed in the past ten years has not been practiced in vain, this red talisman is attached to his body, Lu Shixiao feels that there is no sense of stagnation on his body, he gets up and runs, and does not turn back into the path. In the blink of an eye, it was gone.
The lieutenant just saw that the man attacked him with a fireball, and he didn't dodge, but just slashed at the opponent through the air again, and the opponent could only dodge, and the fireball he sent fell on the lieutenant and was directly bounced away.
The man couldn't help but cry in his heart, he actually faced a Tianjiao warrior, who was not an opponent at all, but fortunately, this person was injured by an arrow just now because of dragging, and he could find an opportunity to escape.
And the lieutenant on the opposite side is the Tianjiao soldier Cha Xing, now he is almost crazy, this noon is inexplicable, the weather is terrible hot, but he got the errand to watch the city, and then the two fortune tellers are indeed a little weird, but it is extremely normal for some strange people to come to the prison city.
He didn't care about these things, but he didn't want the blood-stained knife Pu Jinglong dared to appear by the side of the barracks when he was defending the city, and when he arrived, he was a dead and wounded soldier in the same place.
The blood-stained knife Pu Jinglong seemed to be just trying to tease him, and after injuring a few people, he fled.
Then Taishou immediately arranged a job to capture Lutong, he thought it was a trivial matter not worth mentioning, and he didn't want to encounter a strong enemy, not only did he lose his soldiers, but he was hit by an arrow and bombed.
Now the only people in the field can move are himself and the person in front of him, and the person in front of him seems to be a Freemason he hates very much, and he just wants to catch someone and ask what is going on.
The man dodged a few more times, turned around sharply and ran, Cha Xing only felt that there were three people running in three directions.
This is not a too strong spell, just a trick, but it is very effective when escaping one-on-one, and in the case of a hard death, there are still two-thirds of the way to survive in this way.
The Tianjiao warriors were not ordinary people, and in an instant, the sword qi had already attacked three times, but no one fell to the ground, and they all entered the grass and fields.
Cha Xing looked at the green grass that was more than one person tall next to him, and he didn't know which way to chase for a while.
At this time, a large group of cavalry came from a distance, led by a partial general, and he was not only shocked when he saw this scene.
Lieutenant Cha Xing is a Tianjiao soldier, who has been invincible for two years after joining the army, and he was wounded in such a short period of time, and his subordinates are like this.
When Cha Xing saw that the commander was coming, he wanted to dismount and salute, but the general hurriedly stopped him and ordered his subordinates to inspect the battlefield. Of the twelve men under Cha Xing, six were killed and three were seriously injured. Of the four opponents, three were killed and one was seriously injured and did not wake up.
Subsequently, Cha Xing returned to the Taishou Mansion, originally to report the matter to the Taishou, but saw Governor Wang coming out of the Taishou house.
Cha Xing was about to salute, but Governor Wang hurriedly said: "Lieutenant Cha, don't be polite, I tell the lieutenant that he will go home first to recuperate for a few days, and the matter of the dead brother will be handled by Captain Wang Bin." ”
Cha Xing was about to speak, but saw that Governor Wang had already stood up straight and pursed his lips. Knowing that he shouldn't talk anymore, he bowed and said goodbye.
