Chapter 414 - Go out of the city to explore
Seeing the young man kill two people before, this time the ghostly appearance of the skill, only this revealed skill has made the hearts of the dead people feel slightly cold, this time seeing him blocking the way with a horizontal sword, I know that tonight's events may be difficult to withdraw.
Looking at the playful smile on the corner of the young man's mouth, the leader of the dead soldiers was angry, waved a single knife in his hand, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "If you want to keep us, you need to ask us about the steel knife in our hands."
After speaking, he pointed at the young man with a single knife and shouted, "Kill!"
All the dead soldiers also knew what happened to them and others when they fell into the hands of the young man, and they put their hearts sideways, each holding a sword, and rushed forward to kill.
Of course, Gu Xiao knew that this group of dead soldiers would not obey, and the purpose of opening his mouth was not only to deter them, but also to turn the attention of the dead soldiers to himself, so as to cover Yu Lie's departure.
Seeing Yu Lie's staggering figure gradually disappearing into the darkness towards the south gate, he temporarily collected his thoughts and turned his gaze to the figure of the dead man who rushed to kill.
"The people who were ambushed outside Tonggu Xuan last night seem to be these people, so it is inferred that the killer of Tonggu Xuan can attack and kill the general in Yanbei City tonight, which means that Tong Gu Xuan and Na Lu Jin are inseparable, and the master breath that I think I perceived in Tong Gu Xuan is this person, the bandit leader... Tonggu Xuan... Golden Knife Gate... The Jin army is coming, and it's related..."
The young man kept deducing the connection between Tong Guxuan and Lu Jin in his heart, sideways to avoid the two slashes that were staggered, and saw the flaws of the other party, and did not use his sword to end the lives of the two, but instead pointed out the sword, and pointed at the acupoints of the two people, wanting to leave a living mouth, so as to interrogate the clues he wanted to know.
Xu saw that the young man was disdainful, the leader was already furious, although everyone was not a master, after all, he had also been quite notorious in the martial arts, how could he suffer such humiliation, seeing that the young man seemed to be absent-minded, outside the battle circle, he held his breath and concentrated, moved his pace slightly, circled his side, and took advantage of the moment he hit the acupoint of the dead man under his command, and suddenly made a move.
Seeing that the steel knife in his hand was about to hit the back of the young man's heart, the young man's body that was dodging the long knife of the dead man was like a ghost, and he suddenly turned around.
The leader saw a flower in front of him, and he didn't see the young man's figure clearly, he only saw the moonlight long sword, I don't know when, he had already come out of the sword, and in the moment he swung the steel knife in his hand, the young man's sword finger had broken through the middle door and drilled into his chest, hitting his own fixed acupoint, followed by a numbness in his chest, and his body was no longer under his control, like a sculpture, standing on the spot.
The leader knew the rules of the door, and knew what kind of miserable end he revealed the news, so he immediately concentrated on the internal force, and fought for the risk of damage to the internal force, and also rushed out of the acupoint.
But I never thought that I was running the internal force with all my strength, rushing on the blocked acupoints, like a clay sculpture hitting the steel plate, not only the sealed acupoints were not loosened at all, but under the internal force backlash, the five internal organs were damaged...
Blood flowed down the corners of his mouth, and the leader of the dead soldiers was no longer able to use his internal strength, and wanted to find another way, when he broke through the acupoint, he heard the sound of miserable screams, and hurriedly raised his eyes.
The green shirt long sword, has blended with the moonlight, the shadow is like a ghost, like the night of Shura, walking through the group of more than ten dead soldiers, no one can stop it, where the bright moon sword light passes, all splash blood flowers... In just a few breaths, none of the dead soldiers who had besieged the boy in the middle of this boy waved a knife, but like a sculpture, or raised a knife, or dodged, and stood on the spot.
Looking at the young man again, he crossed the group of dead soldiers for a moment, and he had turned back, his body was like a wind, straight up to the night sky, and fell in front of the leader of the dead soldiers.
The sword flower pulled, behind him, raised his hand to wipe away a little blood on his cheek, and the dead man behind him fell to the ground like a clay sculpture, and the young man walked to the three living mouths left by himself, raised the corners of his lips lightly and smiled: "Okay, the three of you can speak, but I only give the three of you a stick of incense, whoever tells the truth, I will leave someone's life!"
The young man's smile was reflected in the eyes of the three people who couldn't move the point, like the Shura of the underworld, which made people feel frightened, and the desire to survive was shared by everyone, and one of the dead soldiers couldn't stand this kind of oppression, so he trembled and said: "You... What do you want to know?"
"Very good, at least you speak first, and if I am satisfied with the answer, I will let you go first."
juvenile
After finishing speaking, the momentum of the words did not stop, the smile disappeared instantly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who instructed you to attack and kill General Yu Lie tonight, and how many men do you still have in Yanbei City?"
Seeing that the three of them refused to answer, the murderous intent in the young man's eyes grew, as if he was talking to himself, and more like saying to the three of them: "Pretending to be bandits, looting the people, and intercepting and killing officials and soldiers in Tonggu Xuan, it seems that the three of them plan to grit their teeth and resist to the end?"
Hearing the young man talk about the things in the door one after another, the two dead men suddenly collapsed, and the person who had asked the question before was already frightened, so he didn't keep silent anymore, and spoke first: "I..."
The general opened his mouth, but was stopped by the leading dead man: "Could it be that you forgot the punishment in the door..."
Xu was frightened by the leader's words, or remembered the thunderous means of dealing with traitors in the door, the dead man who wanted to speak was stunned, hurriedly closed his mouth, and said no more, but at this moment, he saw the moonlight in the palm of the young man's hand suddenly rise, and the sword light crossed the front of the two of them, straight across the leader's throat...
The blood splattered out with a slight temperature, and the two dead soldiers beside him could not move their bodies, nor could they dodge, they could only watch the corpse of the leader fall to the ground, blood splashed all over their faces.
Although the dead soldiers have long been accustomed to the taste of blood, they can look at the decisive young man in front of them, and without saying a word, they raised their hands and took the life of the leader.
"Less... The young man left me alive, I... I'm willing to give it up!" The dead man, who was forced to shut up, had already spoken first, and his voice trembled, which showed the fear in his heart.
When the young man heard this, he turned his head, "Would you like to speak?"
"Do you know... Say nothing!" Under the cold, without thinking.
"Good!" The boy seemed satisfied, and turned to the other man.
Seeing those starry eyes, the other person was already frightened, and only then did he come back to his senses and hurriedly speak: "I... I would tooβ"
But before the words fell, he saw the sword light of the moon again, and then he wanted to speak, but he was silent, only to feel the warmth in his chest, and he couldn't bow his head, but he could understand what was going on from the horror in the eyes of his companions beside him, and he only felt that the scene in front of him was dark, and then he didn't hear any sound.
Seeing the corpse of another companion lying at his feet, the young man's eyes immediately turned to him, and the dead man did not wait any longer, and said in a panic: "I will wait for one hundred and thirty people, Feng Gongzi, elders... And the man's life, divided... Divided into three ways, all the way to find this... This general, along with the other two men, raided the Yunlai Inn and the defenders of the North City Gate respectively, and after the deed was completed, they set fire to all parts of the city, causing chaos in the city."
"Childe, Elder?" The young man muttered to himself, remembering the two bandit leaders who attacked the Gordon patrol defenders that night that day, and secretly thought to himself that his inference in the medicine shop last night was indeed correct, and with the masked man's skills, it was the eldest of the two bandit leaders.
Gu Xiao already had the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to confirm it from the dead man's mouth, so he temporarily collected his thoughts and asked, "Who is that person?"
"Little... The villain doesn't know, and he's only seen that person at night, only... I just vaguely heard that Childe called him... The Ambassador... Lord Lu."
The dead man poured beans into the bamboo tube, told everything he knew, and saw that the young man's frowning momentum slowed down a little, and his heart was a little settled, and he secretly said that his life was saved.
But before the dead man could rejoice for a moment, he heard the young man speak with murderous intent: "Set fire to the city... Causing a riot... Damn it!"
Hearing this, the dead man knew what the words of the young man's mouth meant, and said with misery: "You don't believe in your words, you said... You..."
Gu Xiao was too lazy to listen to these noisy words, waved his hand lightly, accepted this person's life, and then turned his head to look at the south of Yanbei City, and secretly said in his heart: "Nancheng is okay for the time being, I just hope that Brother Yu can get to General Sun in time."
Then he moved his gaze upward, looked up at the south, and muttered, "Miss Jiang, Brother Qixin, you have to hurry up..."
When the sound fell, the place where the young man stood was no longer visible, leaving only the corpses of more than ten dead soldiers lined up on the street, if there were sharp-eyed people, they could see the night under the green-shirted figure leaping towards the Yunlai Inn...

night
Under the color, Yu Lie gritted his teeth and walked forward, although the armor protected his life, but the death warrior knife technique was fierce, and the knife demanded his life, and he had already split the armor and cut the flesh and skin.
In a hurry, several wounds on the body have been oozing blood, down the armor, leaving a long line of blood on the ground, fortunately those dead killers were blocked by the young man, otherwise according to this blood stains all over the ground, the killer found, how can he escape.
The towering city gate can already be seen in the distance, and even the figure of the guard on duty with a little fire under the inner city gate can be seen.
Excessive blood loss made Yu Lie's face pale, and his steps had staggered, and the armor that looked like ordinary clothes on weekdays was also as heavy as a thousand catties at the moment, and he was struggling to move forward only with the perseverance of the people in the army.
After a few more feet, seeing that the lights were on, Yu Lie used his last strength to call the guards on duty, but when he spoke, his voice was so weak that even he could not hear clearly, and the scene in front of him was gradually blurred, and he finally couldn't support kneeling on the ground.
Seeing that the soldier on duty still did not look at his side, when he was confused, he suddenly remembered a method, pressed the saber on his waist with his hand, and used all his strength to slam the scabbard into the armor on his body.
"Bang... Bang Bang..."
The sound of the impact was very obvious on the silent long street, and the two guards under the inner city gate finally heard the sound, looked for the voice, and finally saw the figure on the silent long street... The two soldiers looked at each other, and both saw vigilance in each other's eyes.
"A few of you follow me to investigate, you go and report to General Sun!" The Yanbei sergeant, who looked like a captain, opened his mouth to give an order, and then led a few people to run towards the figure that made a sound.
The soldiers who went to report to General Sun Strode up the city tower, but did not find that anyone stopped him, doubted, hurriedly walked up, and when the general boarded the city gate, he saw that the fire above the city tower was bright, and General Sun, the general who defended the city, was standing in the city tower and looked at the city.
Seeing this scene, the messenger forgot about the news for a while, and followed General Sun's gaze towards the city.
It's okay not to look at it, I almost saw the three souls and seven spirits of the soldiers, and I couldn't see the scene of the city clearly in the night, but I still saw the big silk fluttering in the wind under the city while taking advantage of the light of the moonlight and the torches above the city tower.
On the black and gold embroidered edge, the word "patrol" came into the eyes of the soldiers, and the frightened messengers were speechless, but just muttered: "Difficult... Could it be... The patrol forces want to rebel?"
Perhaps under the influence of this atmosphere, the soldiers defending the city were already like tight strings, stretching their bows and arrows, rolling stones and falling trees, which were already ready, and the slightest sound would be sounded, and even the soldiers who reported the news were also infected by this tension.
At this moment, I heard the voice of my general's military order above the city tower.
"What are you doing, put down all the blades in your hands, this city is not an enemy, it is your comrades in the army!" Seeing that the corporal under his command already had a bow and arrow, Sun Bi raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth to stop.
It seemed that he was regained by the general's drinking order, and the tense atmosphere in the air suddenly dissipated, and then he heard the general's order again.
"Thirty horsemen of the pioneer battalion, although I will go out of the city to explore!"
