Volume 1: Elm Maple Blue Chapter 73: Elm Maple Blue (21)
One of the attackers stepped forward and said in a dumb voice: "We are just acting on orders, as long as Ma Lan shows off his head, he has nothing to do with the Octavia Knight, and he will not be in line with the Octavia Knight." ”
It turned out that some of the attackers in this group had discovered the identities of Heilen Sorkin and others, and they were afraid of uniting with the Octavia Knights, so they had been holding their troops still.
His gray hair was evident in the night, and he put the reins down, held the sword in both hands, and clenched his fists to the attacker in the darkness and said loudly: "Since he did not want to make an enmity with my Octavia Knight, he let me go, and I have never met today." ”
Breaking his voice was a little helpless:
"Judging by your age and your gray hair, your Excellency is Sir Black-Lew-Sorkin, right? It is said that Jazz swordsmanship is good, but an ordinary dark iron long sword drinks countless blood, his eyes are like a cone, and the sword is deadly. It may be my misfortune to meet you today, but even so, we can't live up to our mission! ”
The other attacker's voice was a little shrill and he couldn't help but shout loudly: "The Octavia Knight has never been involved in the internal affairs of various countries, and does not act as a bodyguard for the powerful. ”
Black Ridge Sorkin chuckled, "How could Sir Ben go against his principles? It's just that the Octavia Knight swears to defend one principle: a promise must be fulfilled. Today, Maran Gongzi defeated the six knights of this knighthood, although it was a shame for this knight order, but he also had to fulfill his promise to escort him back home safely. ”
"What?" The one who spoke earlier asked, "Can he defeat you six knights?" ”
Cardinal Knight chuckled: "What kind of identity is the prince of Maran, since he disdains to make a move, it is his subordinate slaves who defeat us. Do you still want to die? ”
This Cardinal Knight, like Black-Leed Sokin, saw that the other party was a well-trained professional soldier, although he was not afraid, but it was better to have more than one thing and one thing less, wouldn't it be better to send Malan Zhangxiu back to China without hurting a single hair?
Therefore, both of them spoke out to dissuade each other at this time, hoping that the other party would make way for a truce.
Ah Shan saw that the other party hesitated, stretched his neck to look at the dozens of attackers in the darkness and said: "My son-in-law already knew that you had evil intentions, and there were guards at the Qixia Inn in front, and they would arrive from time to time, so why don't you retreat?" ”
Broke his voice and laughed: "Qixia Inn? There are only a few guards there, and they are besieged, so I am afraid that they will not be able to save you. ”
Ahsan was stunned, and his expression could not be seen in the darkness.
When Ma Lan Zhangxiu heard this, she also believed his words: since these attackers came here to ambush, they had already found out the truth about the Qixia Inn and knew that he was still on the way.
"Who the hell wants to take the life of this son?" Ma Lan Zhangxiu asked: "My son has no enemies in Nanshu, and he is not at fault, so why do you want my son's life?" ”
Shook his head in a broken voice: "We are not enemies of Maran Gongzi, it's just that Gongzi is wrong to live, please forgive me for having to obey my fate." ”
Ma Lan Zhangxiu narrowed her eyes: "You are not only my Blue Turban Army in Nanshu, but you also know that this son is the prince of the prince, and you still have to be an enemy of this son?" ”
Adie Jiejie, who was lying behind Ali, smiled strangely: "It's you who is stupid, it must be you who want to kill you when you are too old." Hey, on the other side, you just want to kill Maran Gongzi alone, right, you don't have to kill us, you can let us go, right? ”
Ali clamped the horse's belly between his legs, pulled the reins of the horse, the pony neighed, and the person stood up, frightening Adie to lie on the horse's back, grabbed Ali's clothes and shouted: "What kind of temper does this horse have, why don't you listen to people?" ”
Ah Shan asked the attacker in a deep voice: "You want to kill Prince Wang Taisun, not Prince Ma Lan, right?" ”
No one answered.
Although this is a contradiction, it contains dialectic: if Prince Ma Lan was not Prince Shushanyi, would things have evolved to such a point? In other words, are these people making a feud with the Malan clan or are they going to kill Malan Zhangxiu to replace him as the Prince of Shushanyi?
The situation is here, the other party will not let them go, and they will definitely put Ma Lan Zhangxiu to death.
Hei Leng Suojin laughed, and before the laughter stopped, a sharp sword flew out, like a cold light, and broke his voice: "I'm sorry, I can only strike first." ”
The broken voice screamed, but he didn't have time to dodge, he was already stabbed in the chest, and the grumbling blood broke out of the chest armor, and he looked down at his chest, and then fell to the ground.
The high-pitched attacker gave a deafening sharp command: "Attack!" Kill! ”
The Black Ridge Sokin rode towards the place where the broken voice fell, flashed his waist and pulled out his long sword from the corpse of Shang Mo who was still gushing blood, and shouted at Malan Zhangxiu: "Cross the river!" ”
Malan Zhangxiu took the reins of the horse in his left hand, tightened Ah Lan in his arms, and commanded: "Hold on!" He waved the steel sword in his hand with his right hand, slashed at the attacker next to him, and shouted: "Since I am a nobleman of the Silver Star, and I am also the Maran clan, and His Royal Highness the Prince, how can I escape!" ”
The shriek-voiced attacker kept screaming, "Team up! Team! Divide! No one is allowed to be let go! ”
The attackers quickly changed their shapes, dividing and surrounding Black Ridge Sorkin and the others. What a brave man that Black Ridge Sokin was, with his sword in his hand, even though he was surrounded by several people, he still galloped on horseback, and came and went like no one.
Hei Leng Sokin rushed in front of Ma Lan Zhangxiu and yelled, "Cross the river!" The enemy is many times larger than mine, how can I fight? ”
Ma Lan's beautiful Glushan steel sword slashed across the waist of one of the attackers, and the man fell down in response, drew his sword and turned around, his sword dripping with blood, "Your sword is really not bad - pay attention to your back!" ”
Maran Shosu shouted to remind Black Ridge Sokim.
Without looking back, Blackridge Gold Head returned his sword and stabbed one of his opponents who jumped up and attacked him.
"This sword, you have to use it a second time, even if I give it to you!" Black Lensokin shouted angrily: "You like to fight so much, don't you need our escort?" ”
Ma Lan Zhangxiu pulled the reins of his horse and shook his head: "This son will not run away no matter what, until all these hateful attackers are captured!" ”
Ah Shan, who was wading across the river, shouted: "Childe, go away!" ”
Ali had crossed the river, and his horse rushed towards one of the attackers, who met him with a long sword, Ali looked at the serrated dagger in his hand, turned around and ran, and shouted: "This is not fair, I only have a short weapon." ”
The Dongdan knight rushed forward, raised his Xuantie long sword to block the opponent's sword light, and yelled at Ali: "You go quickly!" ”
Ali turned around and shouted: "Childe, come over quickly, if you don't cross the river, we all have to die here!" ”
Ah Die clutched the corners of Ali's clothes, lay on the back of the horse and cursed: "Go, you cheap slave! ”
Ali roared hatefully, "Shut up, you stinky bitch! Childe is not safe, we have to accompany us even if we die! ”
Ah Shan, who had already crossed the river, turned around and didn't see Ma Lan Zhangxiu, so he hurriedly rode his horse back: "Childe, you go quickly, I'll help you block it." ”
There were two steaming corpses that were still spasming and steaming underground, one was a sword piercing through the chest of Black Ridge Sokin and the other was slashed by Ma Lan Zhangxiu from the waist. The number of attackers was as high as more than thirty people, and the only people around Maran Zhangxiu who could really fight were the six people of Black Ridge Suojin.
"Ahsanali, protect Ahlan!" Ma Lan Zhangxiu hesitated slightly, picked up Ah Lan from the Xuanhei Zhuang horse, sent Ah Shan to sit on the horse's back, turned around and raised the Gelu Mountain steel sword, and joined the melee.
Ahsan re-waded across the river, but was blocked by the attackers in front of him.
Ah Shan jumped off the horse and told Ah Lan to dismount as well, while using the horse as a barrier, he grabbed an attacker's long sword from the ground as a defensive form, and handed the sleeve in the sleeve cage to Ah Lan: "Do you know how to use it?" ”
Ah Lan took the sleeve and looked at it, "My brother taught me, but it was a wooden horse." ”
Ahsan took the quiver from the saddle, handed it to Ah Lan, and said, "The same, the same." ”
Ah Lan took his sleeve and watched the many people besieging Ma Lan Zhangxiu, raising his sleeve to aim at those attackers, the attackers jumped left and right, and Ah Lan couldn't shoot arrows in the end. She looked hesitant, a little overwhelmed.
An attacker walked up to Ahsan with a sword, raised his long sword with all his might, Ahsan raised his arrow to block it, and with a bang, the attacker was so powerful that Ahsan's long sword was shaken out of his hand, Ahsan turned around and ran to the pony, shouting at Ahran: "Shoot arrows!" Fast! ”
Alan looked at the attacker approaching step by step with a long sword in a daze, her hands trembling a little with her sleeve in her hand.
"I-I can't, I haven't shot anyone!" Alan shook his head at the attacker: "Don't come back, don't come again!" I don't want to kill you—"
Alan could almost see the attacker's teeth yellowed by low-quality tobacco, and she aimed at the attacker with her sleeves raised, but she could not fire an arrow.
She screamed at the attacker, "Don't come here, I don't want to shoot you!" ”
The mouth full of teeth yellowed by inferior tobacco laughed horribly, and the laughter rattled like a wild duck, and he raised the iron sword in his hand and continued to walk forward.
"Shoot arrows! —" Ahsan shouted sharply.
The assailant raised his sword and slashed at Alan.
Ah Shan screamed and pounced on Ah Lan-
There was a muffled crack, and the attacker rushed forward and fell on Ah Shan's body, a cavity of blood gushed out from his neck, blood splattered everywhere, Ah Shan was covered all over his body, and Ah Lan also had warm blood drops on his face.
Behind the attacker, an ugly and frightened smile appeared, it was Adie: "I-I don't want to kill him, and I don't want to save you-"
Ah Shan lifted the burst teeth that were still spurting blood, pulled Ah Lan up and asked, "Why don't you shoot arrows?" Why?! ”
Ah Lan shook his head bitterly: "He's human, I haven't shot anyone, I'll only-"
Ali jumped off his horse.
"Can you protect Alan?" Ali asked Ahsan.
Ahsan said in frustration: "No, she can't do anything except run fast and talk to dogs and birds." ”
"You stupid slave, if it wasn't for me just now, Ahsan would have died, and you would have died. Do you know? Do you know?! ”
Ah Die crawled out from the bloody body of the attacker, poked out his bloody head, crawled to Ah Lan's side, and grabbed her: "You have an arrow in your hand, why don't you shoot him?" ”
Alan cried with a sad face and said in a low voice: "I will only shoot rabbits or snakes, not people." ”
"Those people are more vicious than snakes, you know? If you don't shoot him, he'll kill you, don't you understand? You're stupid! Ah Die continued to teach Ah Lan a lesson.
"Yes. You protect Ah Lan, and I'll help my son. Ahsan got up, grabbed his sword and said to Ali.
"What about me? Who protects me? Adie shouted.
Ali picked up the long sword dropped by the attacker who had just been killed by Ah Die, and handed it to her, "You can already protect yourself." ”
Ah Die held the long sword and smiled weirdly: "Men don't have the right to tell lies." This sword will be mine from now on. Say, what would my brother think if he knew I had killed someone? ”
Ah Lan sighed in frustration beside him: "I could have shot him, but he is human!" ”
Ali shook his head: "You can think of those people as snakes, poisonous snakes, if you don't shoot arrows, they will bite your brother's poisonous snake, that's it." ”
"Can't bite my brother to death." Alan said resolutely.
Ali shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Then you can imagine biting Maran to death." Not really anyway. ”
"I can't let the poisonous snake bite Maran to death." Ah Lan said sullenly.
"Yes, stupid slave. Then you will shoot arrows! Ah Die sneered, "Do you want those poisonous snakes to bite your brother and Zhangxiu Gongzi to death, and then bite you to death?" ”
Ah Shan held the long sword and jumped into the stream again: "Childe, I'll help you!" ”
The sound of horses' hooves came from afar, echoing through the valley. In a few moments, more than a dozen horsemen rode from the dark shadows of the valley.
A one-color majestic horse, blue steel ring armor, blue gray cloak, although the face is not clear, it can be guessed that this is the second regular blue turban army of Nanshu.
The shrill-voiced attacker jumped out of Ma Lan Zhangxiu's sword light shroud, and let out a smirk like a night owl in a deafening voice: "Do you still want to leave, Prince Ma Lan, Prince Zhangxiu?" ”
