Chapter 504: Willow Winding Pavilion Spring
The shouts of killing are near, far away, near, far away......
Qingqiu hid in the secret passage with Liu Tingting in her arms, and could only judge the situation between the two sides by relying on the faint voice coming from outside the study. She knew that Xiao Han was waiting for her at www.biquge.info the other end of the secret passage, but for some reason, she was still reluctant to leave. Liu Tingting also clutched her sleeve and refused to leave, a pair of small eyes opened wide, trying to see the world outside, but all she could see was darkness.
The ground was shaking, and there was a lot of dust on both of them. Qingqiu prepared a water-soaked handkerchief early in the morning to cover the noses of the two of them, so as to prevent the two from sneezing or coughing. The tremor became more and more intense each time, and Qingqiu's heart became more desperate each time: these sounds of fire and thunder obviously did not come from Liu Quan, then they must have come from Xing Hou's army. As loud as the sound is, how tragic the battlefield is outside...... Qingqiu closed his eyes, but he felt as if he could see the situation on the battlefield:
The Rong Wolf Cavalry charged valiantly, still expecting to attack the infantry of Pingsha City in the traditional way. The infantry of Pingsha City used special ballistas to throw fire meteors and fire thunder towards the wolf cavalry camp. Fragments of iron bullets scattered like fireworks, piercing the body of a human wolf.
The Rongqi soldiers were like leeks after spring, they were "cut" down one by one, and before they could attack the soldiers of Pingsha City, and before they even drew their sabers, they had already suffered most of the casualties. The wolf rider was frightened and fled in all directions, even throwing his owner off his back...... The vivid faces closed their eyes, and the horse leather shroud became the last swan song on the battlefield.
Listening to the louder and louder artillery fire, Qingqiu suddenly remembered something, and was shocked into a cold sweat: Xing Hou brought so many firearms, if there were still many left after dealing with Liu Quan, then even if Mingxi and Tianma sneak attacked from behind, what was the chance of victory?
However, everything has already begun, and when there is no turning back, even if this is the biggest mistake in the Willow Springs plan, it is irreparable. Qingqiu was frightened, her body trembled, Liu Tingting also noticed her abnormality, leaned into her arms, and said softly: "Aunt Qiu, are you cold?"
Qingqiu sighed softly, lowered his voice and said, "It's okay." Tingting, everything will be fine. It's time for us to go. β
Liu Tingting hurriedly said: "Don't you wait for your father, I want to go with my father, he still has a story to tell me!"
"No...... Don't wait. Qingqiu said softly, "Your father has arranged it, he will catch up with us." She knew that most of what she said was a lie, but she said it with great certainty, as if she believed it, and everything would come true.
Liu Tingting was silent for a while, and said, "Okay." Since my father said it, he wouldn't lie to me. The two of them were about to get up and walk out along the dark passage, but they both felt a "buzz" in their heads, and they both fell down. And the gravel and dirt on the dark passage also fell "with a bang".
Qingqiu almost thought that the secret passage was about to collapse at this moment, and in the darkness, she couldn't touch Liu Tingting for a while, so she couldn't help but call her name repeatedly, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that she couldn't hear her own shout. It wasn't until a long time later that I felt that there seemed to be an invisible cotton ball in my ears that someone had taken it away, and I gradually recovered my hearing, and the dark passage had not collapsed, and not far ahead, there was a faint shout of Liu Tingting.
She followed the voice, pulled Liu Tingting's little hand, and said, "Tingting, don't let go of my hand." Don't be afraid. β
Liu Tingting's voice was not afraid, only joy: "I'm not afraid." Aunt Qiu, it was ...... just now I know. Daddy said that this was a gift from him, and that it was the biggest and biggest fireworks! I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, it's just a pity that I can't see the outside. But Daddy said that after this sound, he will be back!
"The biggest and biggest fireworks?" Qingqiu was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood: If his guess was correct, was it Liu Quan who blew up the arsenal of Xinghou's army? But what method did he use to achieve this? The arsenal was in the most critical position of Xinghou's army, and the defense was bound to be the most solid, and it was not easy to attack it. And with such a huge explosion, will he have time to retreat with his whole body?
She had mixed feelings in her heart, and she couldn't help but sit down against the inner wall of the secret passage. Xing Hou suffered such a big loss, she must kill Liu Quan to vent her anger, no matter what, she also wants a final answer.
Sure enough, after that loud sound, the sound of fire and thunder from outside was much looser than at the beginning, and it was obvious that Xing Hou also knew how to retain firepower - then the next thing should be a real battle.
It was a brute force and a contest of numbers, and the small wolf cavalry force was like a trickle, entering the sea of 100,000 infantry camps, and was engulfed in an instant. There is no formation, no tactics, some are just mechanical slashing and sprinting, the blade rolls the wolf to death, and everyone kills several times the enemy before they die, but it is still difficult to escape defeat.
The shouting and killing did not go away, but approached Dongping City step by step, steadily.
If you don't leave, I'm afraid it's going to be too late. Qingqiu finally made up her mind, picked up Liu Tingting, and ran out despite her plea to "wait for Daddy".
This dark passage was dug far away, all the way to the foot of Daiyue Mountain, Qingqiu walked for half an hour, only to feel that the oncoming wind was getting stronger and stronger, the shouting of killing had already been left behind, and in front of him was a piece of birds and flowers.
She drilled out of the secret passage at the foot of the mountain, and saw two men holding Xiao Han's horse, waiting eagerly. Those two were dead soldiers under Liu Quan, and they were specially arranged to protect Liu Tingting. When the two saw Qingqiu, they complained together: "Why did the girl come so late, but told us to wait!"
Qingqiu didn't answer, and after entrusting Liu Tingting to Xiaohan's horse, he said: "The two eldest brothers take Tingting to the mountains for temporary shelter first, and I have to go back." β
She thought that the two men would stop her, but after all, the two men were brought out by Liu Quan, and they only glanced at each other, and one of them said, "Girl, please be careful, we are waiting for you in the mountains." β
Seeing the two of them leave with Xiaohan and Liu Tingting, Qing Qiucai burrowed back into the dark passage and ran all the way back. It took about an hour to come and go, so when she returned to the end of the secret passage in the study, she could no longer hear the shouts outside, and thought that the whole battle was almost over.
However, there are more than one person in the study.
Through the wooden plank, Qingqiu heard the speech in the study very clearly. The two sides of the conversation seemed to be Liu Quan and Xing Hou, and Qingqiu was slightly sure in his heart: although the space in this study was not small, it could not accommodate too many people to come in. Liu Quan and Xing Hou are both there, so there is a great possibility that Liu Quan's plan can go smoothly.
However, Liu Quan's gentle cough made her heart pinch again: he was still injured after that attack just now.
Xing Hou opened his mouth first: "Liu Quan, the matter has come to this, do you still want to resist?" His voice was also a little hoarse, obviously it was not easy to run all the way these days, but his tone was extremely firm, and it was obvious that the victory was in hand. When Qingqiu heard this, she felt a cold sweat suddenly break out behind her: she knew that Liu Quan had the power of the green nightmare, how could Xing Hou not know? To be able to sit in this position today, Xing Hou must be a cautious person, if he is not completely sure, how dare he get along with Liu Quan.
Thinking of this, Qingqiu was anxious. Her usual weapon is on Xiao Han's body, and now she only has a sword by her side, but she thinks that with her own kung fu, coupled with a sneak attack, she may be able to restrain Xing Hou, while thinking, her hand has pushed the wooden board above her head, who knows that at this moment, the wooden board sank, and she couldn't push it.
And at this moment, Liu Quan's voice sounded, and it was on the wooden plank. His voice was very close, apparently sitting on the carpet above the plank: "Hehe, my dead soldier can burn your arsenal, and I am worth it, and now you can kill or kill it, and you will not get anything from me." But I'm also very curious, on the surface, it's all Han Feng's, but Tan Hou is a member of the Tan family. They knew about me early on, and they chose to shake it out at this time, aren't you worried that the Tan family has completely abandoned you? Xing Piao, Xing Piao, you are really pitiful, you are already an outcast!"
He poked at Xing Hou's sore spot at the moment, naturally he was bent on death, and he had no use value for Xing Hou, and Xing Hou had no scruples about starting it. Qingqiu only heard Liu Quan snort, and there was a slight sound on the wooden board, and he didn't know what Xing Hou had done to him - but it was obvious that Xing Hou only wanted to torture Liu Quan to vent his anger at this time, and this blow was not fatal.
Blood stained the carpet, and a few drops dripped down the edge of the plank onto Qingqiu's hands. Qingqiu's eyes were hot, and he almost cried. At the same time, she finally smelled a strange aroma wafting from the studyβthe aroma of the burning of the Purple Stone, the medicine that Liu Quan had been taking to control the Nightmare. Now this Ziying cold stone powder is not Liuquan's internal service, it is naturally lit by Xing Hou, thinking about it, maybe it is the aroma produced by this combustion that has functioned, so that Liuquan can't use the power of the green nightmare for a while.
At this moment, Liu Quan's voice was extremely low, but it was still stimulating Xing Hou: "Xing Piao, today's me is tomorrow's you." You still ......" He didn't finish his sentence, and snorted bitterly, since Xing Hou hurt him again.
After that, Xing Hou didn't speak again, but just tortured Liu Quan with cruel means, and Liu Quan kept shouting, from forbearance to roaring, one by one, like a blunt knife cutting Qingqiu's flesh, making Qingqiu burst into tears. But even so, Liu Quan never moved away, and the blood gradually turned from one drop or two to blood flowing, staining the entire wooden board sticky and slippery.
Until there was no more sound.
When Qingqiu was leaving, he vaguely heard Liu Quan's last sigh on the wooden board: "Xiaoting, I'm here with you." β
