Chapter 83: Soldiers Descend on the City
Remember [Love Go] in a second, and provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Zhan Xiong, whose face changed suddenly, didn't think about it, hugged Shangguan Xiu's waist, and rushed to the eaves on the side of the road to dodge the crossbow arrows shot from the roof. 【Love Go】
Looking at Shangguan Xiu at this time, there was still the slightest drunkenness on his face, the corners of his mouth were raised, leaning on Zhan Xiong's shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Do I still pretend to be like?"
Hearing his words, and looking at the cunning that flashed in his eyes, Zhan Xiong almost laughed.
At first, he also thought that Shangguan Xiu was really drunk, but it wasn't until he performed the Instantaneous Wind Step twice in a row that he realized that Shangguan Xiu was not drunk at all, he not only dodged the crossbow arrows shot in secret, but also turned the ill-intentioned Han Peng and Dong Gang into his substitute ghosts.
He didn't know how Shangguan Xiu could see that Wang Dao wanted to plot against him, but he had to admire Shangguan Xiu's intelligence and cleverness.
Cao Lei, who was standing on the street, pulled out his saber, and the spirit armor and the spirit of the soldier were completed at the same time, he carried the spirit knife, and rushed to the building where the two black-clothed men were located, and jumped up.
While the others jumped up, they waved their knives continuously, and they heard two crisp sounds, and the two crossbow arrows that flew down were blocked by him, and he fell to the eaves, glared at the two black-clothed men angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Rats, where do I see you two running?"
Cao Lei snorted and slashed the spirit knife in his hand towards the two black-clothed men. When the spirit knife fell, the knife emitted aura, and the aura turned into a golden spirit blade, circling all over the sky, flying towards the other two.
Seeing Cao Lei unleash the golden skill Ten Thousand Blades, the two black-clothed men screamed in fright and retreated. One of the big men jumped directly off the eaves to dodge the oncoming spirit blade, and the other big man aimed the crossbow box at Cao Lei and shot two arrows in succession.
Cao Lei also reacted quickly, and on the side of his body, he let go of the two crossbow arrows that were shooting at him, but the black-clothed man on the opposite side was not so far away, and was hit by the spirit blade of ten thousand blades.
The crescent-shaped golden spirit blades were like small knives that passed through him mercilessly, twisting his body into pieces, leaving only a round head falling from the air.
The other big man in black was so frightened that he didn't dare to delay for a moment, turned around and ran.
Cao Lei roared angrily, jumped off the eaves, and chased him out. He had just run a few steps, raised the spirit knife in his hand high, and aimed at the black-clothed man five meters away in front of him and slashed in the air.
When he raised the spirit knife, the spiritual energy had condensed above the spirit knife, turning into a huge golden virtual knife, as his knife fell, the virtual knife hanging in the air smashed down, and a loud click was heard in the ear chakra, and the virtual knife smashed on the ground, slashing the ground with a big crack seven or eight meters long.
Look at the big man in black again, although he ran fast enough, he was still scratched by the aftermath of the false knife, and a big hole more than a foot long was torn open in his back, he screamed in pain, and ran forward with a scream with the strength of milk, Cao Lei still wanted to continue the pursuit, so he heard Zhan Xiong shouting in the rear: "Leizi, poor Kou Mo chase!"
Hearing Zhan Xiong's call, Cao Lei stopped, looked at the back of the black-clothed man who fled in the wilderness, he spat fiercely, and said angrily: "Cowardly mouses!
Zhan Xiong understood everything now, but Cao Lei didn't know what was going on, he only thought that the two assassins were coming for Han Peng and Dong Gang, and he had a pretty good impression of these two.
Cao Lei jumped back onto the roof, picked up a human head and a crossbow, and jumped down.
He walked up to Shangguan Xiu and said, "Brother Xiu, I killed an assassin...... Seeing Shangguan Xiu leaning against the wall, sitting on the ground, with his eyes closed, he was startled and asked in surprise: "Brother Xiu is also injured?"
"No, Brother Xiu is just drunk and asleep!" Zhan Xiong walked over and patted Cao Lei on the shoulder. This was the first time he saw Cao Lei use his real skills, nodded secretly, and praised in his heart, he was worthy of being from the Imperial Lingwu Academy, his cultivation was exquisite, and his skills were proficient, no matter where he was placed, he could be called a good hand.
"Startled me, I thought Brother Xiu was also injured by the assassin!" As he spoke, he threw the human head he was holding on the ground and walked up to the bodies of Han Peng and Dong Gang, he let out a long sigh, and felt quite sorry in his heart, the two people who were very good were killed by the assassin like this.
He looked up at the four stunned and stunned attendants and asked, "Did they offend anyone?"
The four attendants didn't know Wang Dao's arrangement, they looked at each other, shook their heads in unison, and said, "Villain...... The villain doesn't know either!"
"Don't be stunned, hurry up and find Lord Cheng Wei!" two of the four agreed, spreading their legs and running in the direction of the City Captain's Mansion.
This is called stealing chickens and rice, Wang Wei thought that his arrangement was very ingenious, so that Han Peng and Dong Gang sent Shangguanxiu home, and took the opportunity to support him, the two of them could fix him, so that his henchmen who were ambushed in the dark could take the opportunity to attack and shoot him.
As a result, not only did he fail to kill Shangguan Xiu, but he also took the lives of Han Peng and Dong Gang in vain, and his two hearts and abdomen were also killed and seriously injured.
Wang Dao, who heard the news, hurried to the scene, and when he saw the bodies of Han Peng and Dong Gang, as well as the head of one of his own hearts, Wang Dao was so distressed that his liver trembled.
Han Peng and Dong Gang's four retinues can all testify that they were killed by assassins who were secretly ambushing, and that Cao Lei killed an assassin and wounded another in order to avenge the two of them.
The four retinue also knelt on the ground and begged Wang to quickly order martial law to search for the wounded and escaped Assassin.
After Wang Dao heard this, he was so angry that his face trembled, whether his two subordinates were blind or deaf, he obviously asked them to kill Shangguan Xiu, but they were good, Shangguan Xiu is now intact, but Han Peng and Dong Gang were shot by the two of them.
If the escaped man stood in front of him now, the king would have pounced on him and bitten him twice.
Now he is dumb and eats coptis, he can't say what he is suffering, looking at Shangguan Xiu who is sitting on the ground sleeping soundly, the roots of Wang Dao's teeth are itchy, he forcibly suppressed his anger, and specially praised Cao Lei, and then asked Cao Lei and Zhan Xiong to carry Shangguan Xiu back to rest.
The turmoil of this night was successfully resolved by Shangguan Xiu, who pretended to be drunk. He didn't do much, but Wang Dao suffered heavy losses. He had already taken the lives of six henchmen before, and now he had three more lives, and he had lost nine people in just one night, and they were all spiritual cultivators hired by his high gold.
Now he finally realized that the people brought by Shangguan Xiu are not simple, and Shangguan Xiu himself is even more not simple, he really underestimates him and the people around him.
When Wang Dao was holding back his bad heart and thinking hard about how to deal with Shangguan Xiu, something happened to Huya Pass again.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, I heard the sound of gongs and whistles on the towers in the west of the city.
Shangguan Xiu and the others lived near the western city wall, and the gongs and whistles coming from the city were also very clear.
Shangguan Xiu, who was asleep, was awakened, he turned over and sat up, pushed open the window, and looked outside.
Luo Fu, who was sleeping on the same kang with him, raised his head and listened for a moment, his face changed suddenly, and he said urgently to Shangguan Xiu: "My lord, there is an enemy attack outside the city!"
Shangguan Xiu frowned, immediately put on his clothes, picked up his saber and walked out. Luo Fu also wanted to get up, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand at him, and said, "You just stay here, don't go anywhere!"
While talking, he walked out of the door, Qian Jin, Luo Ren and others, who lived in the east and west wings, also walked out with their clothes on, Qian Jin's eyes didn't open, he yawned while walking out, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "What the hell are you doing in the early morning, and you don't let people sleep?"
Shangguan Xiu said in a deep voice: "There is an invasion of foreign enemies, you stay here and don't move, I'll take a look on the city wall!"
When Luo Ren and Zhan Xiong heard this, they didn't say a word, they turned around and went back to the house, and after a short time, they were already dressed neatly, carrying a saber and walking out, and said in unison: "Qian Jin and the woman stay!"
Qian Jin muttered dissatisfiedly: "I'm a man, why do you classify me as a woman......
Shangguan Xiu walked out of his small courtyard, and when he walked down the steps to the city, he looked back and saw that Luo Ren, Zhan Xiong, Cao Lei, Hao Chu and others had followed, he frowned and asked, "Why are you all here?"
"Flower Butterfly...... Sister Jing and the half-immortal stayed at home. Luo Ren replied.
Shangguan Xiu said: "Ah Mu, Xiao Han, you two also go back!"
Yuan Mu and Shao Han glanced at each other and said, "Brother Xiu, I ......"
"Go back! This is an order!" Leaving only Sui Tangjing and Jia Caixuan behind, Shangguan Xiu was really not at ease, and he couldn't relax for a moment for a villain like Wang Dao. Under Shangguan Xiu's categorical order, Yuan Mu and Shao Han had no choice but to turn around and walk back.
Shangguan Xiu led the others to rush to the head of the city.
"Who?" saw a group of strangers rushing up to the city, all dressed in civilian clothes, and surrounded by spears. Shangguan Xiu showed his tooth card and said in a deep voice: "I am the newly appointed battalion captain, Shangguan Xiu, they are all my uncles!"
According to the establishment, the battalion lieutenant can command a thousand people, and there can be ten uncles below.
Seeing Shangguan Xiu's tooth card, all the wind troops put up their spears, bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "See Lord Battalion Captain!"
Shangguan Xiu waved his hand, walked quickly to the arrow, and looked out.
I saw that the place outside the Huya Pass was about two miles away from each other was full of people, and as far as the eye could see, there was a large area of black pressure, not to mention thousands of people, and they were dressed carefully, disorderly, some people were wearing armor, some people were wearing cloth clothes and trousers, and some people were wearing animal skins, all kinds of things.
The flags in the crowd on the opposite side are not uniform, and there are tiger heads, lion heads, and totems painted on the flags. Shangguan Xiu held the arrow in his hand, looked at it for a while, and asked sideways: "What's going on? Who are the people outside the city?"
