Chapter 31: The Dust Settles

Midday.

A group of more than ten people galloped through the mountains and mountains, marching towards the depths of the mountains; Night Terror Hall came yesterday, and this trip served as a guide to lead the way.

More than 30 miles of mountain roads, for people with high martial arts, is not far, but it is more difficult to cross the mountains and mountains along the way, and it is normal to step on the air and slip when you are not familiar with the road conditions.

Seeing that Dongfang Liren was a little difficult to follow his footsteps, Night Terror Hall wanted to fulfill the duties of a personal guard, and hurried with a clumsy back.

But Dongfang Liren was embarrassed to lie on the man's back in front of his subordinates, but quietly pulled Xuanji Zhenren's wrist and asked Shizun to help take care of it, so as not to accidentally fall in public and be embarrassed.

When galloping in the mountains and wilderness, several people came to the vicinity of Fulong Cave, where the original large medicine furnace was still alone in the woods, and the body of Guan Yujia, because it was a celebrity in Wuzhou Jianghu, had been carried away by the officers and soldiers.

Walking four or five miles further into the mountains, you can see a lot of arrows, lost armor and weapons in the mountains, and the temporary camp of 2,000 soldiers is nearby, there are more than 100 wounded in it, and the surrendered Wu Wang's personal guards and captured retinues are temporarily imprisoned here.

Night Terror Hall came to the camp to inquire, and learned that when King Wu absconded with his die-hard guards, he was wounded by a stray arrow and fled to the Yellowstone Ridge.

More than 1,000 soldiers have surrounded Huangshiling, but because Huangshiling is another hiding place prepared by King Wu, defense facilities have been built in advance.

As for the hundreds of people who tested the medicine arrested by King Wu, they launched an encirclement and suppression yesterday, and King Wu didn't have time to take care of these people at all, most of them fled into the mountains and forests in order to avoid the military disaster, and they didn't have time to look for them.

After the Night Terror Hall learned this, it could only focus on King Wu for the time being, and came to Huangshi Ridge with Dongfang Liren.

Under the scorching sun, nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers armed with strong bows and crossbows were scattered among the mountains and fields around Huangshi Ridge.

The geographical environment of Huangshi Ridge is very special, there are steep mountain walls on all sides, the only road leading to the top of the mountain ridge is a sheep intestine path dug by King Wu, on the way to turn crookedly, but also dig out the door hole, the arrow can not be shot from below at all, only one person and one gun are guarded at the bend, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, they do not want to hit the mountain.

There is no shortage of good players in the Zezhou army who can do light work, but there is also a Bai Si Ming on the mountain ridge, and the three or five masters rushed up to be no different from Bai Zhi, and the more than 1,000 officers and soldiers who came to encircle and suppress were helpless, so they could only encircle Huangshiling to prevent King Wu from breaking through, and a military attache stood at the foot of the mountain, shouting in a loud voice:

"The dignified Prince of Wei and the grandson of Taizu, if you want to die, the court should give Bai Aya to hang yourself, and leave a whole corpse with dignity......

"The weather is so hot in June, if you always die on the mountain, we can only cut off your head, smear it with lime and bring it back to Yun'an, and when the courtiers see it, it is estimated that they are all maggots, and the smell is unbearable......"

This persuasion is outrageous, but the effect is really good.

On the Yellowstone Ridge, deep in a natural cave, two torches are lit.

Four wounded die-hard guards sat against the wall, staring blankly at the blades in their hands.

Wu Wang Dongfang Heng, who had almost aged more than ten years in just a few days, had gray hair, and was holding a sword inlaid with pearls and jade in his hand, which he raised several times and put it on his neck, and when he heard the shouts from below the mountain, he stopped again.

King Wu felt that he should be a hero, in order to prevent the Dongfang Emperor from falling into the hands of foreign surnames and rebelled, and bad luck led to failure, he should commit suicide happily and not bow to the empress, so that in the history books of later generations, it is estimated that it can still be left with the name of 'strong temperament'.

But what the military attache outside said also makes sense, he is the grandson of Taizu, the uncle of the empress of the dynasty, even if he commits the crime of rebellion, he should be buried with a whole corpse; Now that he is dead, the officers and soldiers cut off his head, make a different head, and let the courtiers watch it smelling, and it is too undignified to die......

Next to King Wu, Bai Siming, who was dressed in a blood-stained robe, sat cross-legged on the ground, his expression was quite calm, and when he saw that King Wu did not dare to commit suicide, he spoke:

"Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood. The officers and soldiers couldn't fight for a short time, and when it got dark, I took His Highness to break through the siege and fled to Beiliang. In the capacity of His Royal Highness, the Northern Liang Imperial Court will definitely protect him......"

Zhang Jinglin sat next to him and shook his head when he heard this:

"Soon after the two dynasties opened trade, His Royal Highness was of little use to Beiliang, and if he fled to Beiliang, he was likely to be sent back by Beiliang as a favor. If they can cross the two countries and escape to the northwest of Tianlang Lake, there is still the possibility of a comeback. ”

Dongfang Heng's eyes moved, and driven by the desire to survive, he spoke:

"Decades ago, when Tianlang Iron was riding, this king might be able to make a comeback in the past. Today's Xihai tribes are just a plate of scattered sand, and they are still struggling to survive in the past, so it is better to take refuge in the Pingtian Sect. ”

Zhang Jinglin shook his head and said: "The Pingtian Sect is located in the southern frontier of the Great Wei Dynasty, there are no war horses there, no matter how many soldiers there are, they are just foot soldiers, and it is more than enough to defend the city, but if you want to fight the world from the south to the north, no one has succeeded since ancient times."

"But the tribes of the West Sea are different, the folk customs are wild, the martial virtues are abundant, women, children, old and young can wear armor and open bows, and can fight well; As long as someone can twist the various departments into a rope and make up 30,000 Tianlang iron horses, it is enough to divide the territory between the two dynasties and stand on their own......"

King Wu knew the geographical difference between the north and the south, and frowned:

"The Xihai tribes have long been dispersed, and the Northern Liang annexed for decades, but they have not been able to completely subjugate the Xihai tribes.

"Tianlang Lake is the holy place of the West Sea Tribes, and the Tianlang Pearls are regarded as 'God-given things' by the West Sea Tribes. The old man reproduced the Tianlang Pearl, His Royal Highness only needs to find the leader of a big tribe and present this pearl ......"

When Bai Siming heard this, he said impatiently:

"Then the leader obeyed, died violently on the spot, and divided our bodies with knives?"

Zhang Jinglin said confidently: "The old man's Tianlangzhu is absolutely true, Guan Yujia died of an explosion, it must be caused by a serious injury that has not healed, if Mr. Bai eats it, it will definitely be ......."

"I definitely won't live to see it now."

After Bai Siming saw the vigorous death of Guan Yujia, he had already defined Tianlangzhu in his heart - it was completely a 'fast-acting body explosion pill', who believed that he was a fool.

If it weren't for Zhang Jinglin's medical skills being really domineering, it was their capital to save their lives, and he would have to let Zhang Jinglin himself try how domineering Tianlangzhu was.

Everyone chatted for a few words, and the idea of self-suicide was also dispelled by the desire to survive, and began to discuss ways to break through.

But not long after we talked, the soldiers who were standing guard on the mountain rushed in:

"Oh no, King Jing seems to have brought a lot of masters over and is ready to attack ......"

When Bai Siming heard this, he chuckled in his heart, knowing that this time he was really in a catastrophe.

If it is just an ordinary officer and soldier, relying on the danger of heaven to defend until night, and then break through alone with King Wu, it is still possible.

And King Jing came over with the masters of the imperial court, relying on a mountain cliff and six or seven personal soldiers, it was impossible to hold it, not to mention anything else, a night terror hall was enough for them to drink a pot.

If King Wu is caught, he may be euthanized, and this group of diehards under his command must either be Ling Chi or Che Crack.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Bai Siming also had a will to die, and after being silent for a while, he stood up:

"I'll go out and see, if it's not good...... Your Highness is up to him. ”

After saying goodbye, Bai Siming tidied up his robe and strode towards the exit of the cave, wanting to show the peerless demeanor that a peak martial artist should have in the last battle of his life.

And at the same time, below the mountains.

After communicating with the military attache who persuaded him to surrender, he learned that there were only seven or eight stragglers left, Zhang Jinglin seemed to be alive, so naturally he couldn't wait stupidly at the bottom of the mountain, in case King Wu was ready to commit suicide and slaughtered Zhang Jinglin, it would be a big loss for Dawei.

After determining the situation for this reason, Night Terror Hall asked for orders and personally went to Huangshiling to negotiate with King Wu.

Dongfang Liren finally rushed over, and he must send his subordinates to do something, so he naturally agreed, but for safety reasons, he still ordered:

"Master, you go up with the Night Terror Hall. If the situation is not right, it is mainly self-preservation, and there is no need to force King Wu to live. ”

Xuanji Zhenren was worried about standing in the camp as a vase, and when he saw this, he walked directly to Huangshi Ridge:

"Night Boy, let's go."

Night Terror Hall was dressed in a black official robe, and walked behind Xuanji Zhenren with a saber hanging from his waist, and only after he was far away from the soldiers and horses in the rear did he ask:

"Miss Shui'er, how are you injured?"

Xuanji walked leisurely up the one-person-wide path and chuckled:

"People call me a fairy in front of me, but behind you change your name to Shui'er, what does Childe mean?"

Because the road was too narrow, Night Terror Hall could only walk behind Xuanji Zhenren, and his eyes were not good at his swaying waist and hips, so he looked up:

"Miss Shui'er said that 'senior' is old, let me call it that, I naturally called it that. As for the fairy, I don't think the girl looks like a fairy, it's called a fairy or something, I feel ...... Well...... It's kind of weird. ”

Xuanji Zhenren knew that her image in the heart of the Night Terror Hall had already collapsed, and she lacked reverence for her.

In order to save her image, Xuanji Zhenren decided to pretend and embroider shoes on the ground.

Hmmm-

Under the gaze of nearly a thousand officers and soldiers, a dusty woman in a snow-colored white skirt suddenly rose to the sky without seeing how to exert her strength, and almost in the blink of an eye, she reached the corner at the top of the cliff.

Behind the corner, there were two guards of King Wu, who were still secretly observing the situation under the cliff, but before they could react, the woman in white came directly to the front, and then:

Knock knock~

Xuanji Zhenren lightly tapped twice with the snow-white scabbard, and the two guards of King Wu fell on the sheep intestine path with shocked eyes and blank eyes.

The east is far away from people, and it is shocking to see this scene, but the worship under the eyes has not yet appeared, and I found that the night terror hall following behind, the figure is fluttering and jumping, just the toes tap the branches and leaves on the mountain wall, and in an instant jump up the mountain, and fall beside Xuanji Zhenren, silently along the way, like a black leaf blown by the wind.

"......"

Standing in the back, Hei Ya Zong Zhu was also familiar with the Night Terror Hall, and when he saw that the Night Terror Hall could show off his light skills in front of Xuanji Zhenren, and even had his own merits, his eyes couldn't help but show shock, and Dongfang Liren was directly with little stars in his eyes.

Xuanji Zhenren turned his head and saw the demeanor of the Night Terror Hall like a fairy, looked down at the cliff dozens of feet high, and his eyes also flashed with a different color:

"......"

"Why are you running so fast? Those who drown are water-savvy, and it is not a good habit to go on a rampage with their own bravery. ”

“……”

Xuanji Zhenren's purpose was not achieved, and he was taught a lesson by the Night Terror Hall in turn, so he was naturally not very happy in his heart, and said stiffly:

"It's just a few nobodies, too cautious, it's just a waste of time."

Night Terror shook his head secretly, and only felt that this parallel sister was not as good as being stupid, stupid and fun-loving, at least self-aware, and would not play and get into trouble; This sister is completely 'I suffered a loss, but I just don't admit it, and I still don't change it', it's not unusual to play herself out one day.

The two jumped up the mountain and went directly to the entrance of the cave where King Wu was hiding.

Bai Siming walked out of the cave with the idea of 'fighting happily and dying vigorously', and as soon as he turned around, he saw two figures coming from the corner of the sheep intestine path.

Behind is the Night Yama who has had several faces, enough to serve as his opponent in the last battle of his life.

In front of her was a woman in white......

?!

Bai Siming's sad and resolute face twitched suddenly, and he wanted to quickly retract back into the cave, but he immediately reacted - Xuanji Zhenren personally blocked the door, where the hell can he hide?

Bai Siming's expression stiffened, afraid that Xuanji Zhenren would raise his hand and kill him in seconds, and his first reaction was to say urgently:

"Wait!"

Xuanji Zhenren was still identifying who the dirty man in front of him was, and when he saw that the other party directly begged for mercy, he didn't make a move, and walked forward unhurriedly:

"Are you Bai Siming? How do you wear a red dress? If you are caught, you will not suffer from the flesh and skin. ”

Bai Siming's body was stained with the blood of the official jade armor, and his appearance was really a little embarrassed, but in a desperate situation, his momentum was still quite strong, and he stood with his hands and said:

"The crime of rebellion is death, and it is impossible for the court to pardon it. Since Bai has embarked on this road, how can he grovel before he dies! ”

Xuanji Zhenren bowed slightly:

"It's a man."

As he spoke, he prepared to draw his sword.

"Wait!"

Bai Siming raised his hand to stop it, and his eyes were mixed:

"It is indeed Bai's honor to be able to die in the hands of the Emperor Master, but the strength of Bai and the Emperor Master is too different, and fighting each other is no different from killing the neck. I don't know if the emperor can give Bai a chance to let Bai and Lord Ye have a good fight?

"Lord Night chased and fought fiercely, first destroyed the plan of His Royal Highness the Prince in the capital, and then let the prince fall to this, Bai Mou, as a guest, was treated well by the prince, if he never fought with Lord Night from beginning to end, he was really ashamed of the prince, and he couldn't turn a blind eye to death."

Seeing that the other party was at the end of the road, Xuanji Zhenren wanted to choose a decent way to die, but he was not too mean, turned around and stuck to the mountain wall, and gave way to the Night Terror Hall:

"I'll leave it to you."

Night Terror Hall rubbed the hem of Xuanji's real clothes sideways across the sheep intestine path, and looked at Bai Siming, who was full of sadness:

"You don't use weapons?"

Bai Siming took a breath lightly, looked at the flowing clouds in the sky, and raised his right hand slightly:

"Bai has no sect, self-taught, admired the old boxer Liu Qiansheng when he was young, and learned from his palm skills to create his own 'Liuyun Palm'. Lord Ye can compete with Guan Yujia, and his fist and foot kung fu should not be bad, but can he dare to fight with Bai? ”

Seeing this, Night Terror Hall untied his saber, handed it to Xuanji Zhenren behind him, ten feet away, raised his right hand and hooked it.

Call~

A mountain wind blew, and the cliff fell into dead silence.

The two top masters stood at both ends of the two-foot-wide sheep intestine path, staring at each other, and the atmosphere gradually fell into depression.

Bai Si ordered to see the night terror hall shoot these days, and knew that the strength of the night terror hall was about two percent stronger than him, if the other party used weapons, he had no chance of winning, but he competed with each other, he had the confidence to play an evenly matched, earth-shattering scene, even if he died in the end, at least he could show the demeanor that he should have as the first master under King Wu!

"Lord Night, take a good look!"

Bai Siming's eyes were extremely focused, his right hand was raised lightly, his five fingers swiped in front of him, the trajectory had a unique rhythm, and after staring at the night terror hall for a moment, his right foot quietly took a step forward!

Bang –

On the top of the dead cliff, a thunderous sound suddenly sounded.

Night Terror Hall's right foot moved slightly, his body had already broken through the Shizhang mountain wind, his left foot was in front when he stopped, he stepped with his crotch, his right hand clenched his robe and swelled instantly, and then a city cannon that shook the mountain and destroyed the city was sent to Bai Siming.

??!

Bai Siming's pupils shrank suddenly, and before he could react, the punch of the sandbag suddenly enlarged in front of him!

Night Terror Tang punched with all his strength, and found that Bai Siming was motionless and 'calmly dying', and immediately stopped the heavy punch that was enough to break the opponent's upper body half an inch in front of the tip of Bai Siming's nose.

Although the cannon fist stopped, the vast energy wrapped in the fist still poured out like a frenzy.

Boom –

Under the furious fist wind, Bai Siming's hair crown exploded directly, his long hair was straightened at the back of his head, and even his face and flesh were trembling violently, and he turned sluggish in an instant.

Falling in the eyes of outsiders, there was only a muffled thunder on the cliff, and when everyone saw clearly, the night terror hall dressed in black was already standing in front of Bai Siming, keeping the posture of punching and not moving.

Bai Siming raised his right hand, and the same was true.

Seeing that Bai Siming didn't react, Night Terror Hall frowned and said:

"What do you mean? Want to die at my hands? ”

“……”

Bai Siming's long hair fell down, and he looked at the night terror hall in front of him in a daze, and held it for a long time before his eyes turned incredible:

"You...... How could you possibly ......"

Speaking of this, Bai Siming suddenly remembered one thing - yesterday, the 'Tianlang Pearl' was thrown on the medicine furnace and was taken away by the Night Terror Hall, and then the strength of the Night Terror Hall skyrocketed to this point......

Is it really useful to make Tianlang beads?!

No, it must be useful, otherwise he wouldn't have grown up to this point in just one night!

Thinking of this, Bai Siming's eyes were mixed, some were unbelievable, and some were regretful!

Seeing that the Night Terror Hall stopped, Bai Siming reacted extremely quickly, quickly retreated, and slipped out of his sleeve with a 'Daliang Pearl', which slapped directly to his arm!

"Huh?!"

Seeing that Bai Siming was determined to commit suicide, Night Terror's eyes changed suddenly, and he immediately raised his hand to stop Bai Siming's wrist and snatched Daliangzhu:

"Don't Don't ......"

And Bai Siming was a little hysterical, holding the hands of Daliangzhu and Night Terror Hall Tai Chi, and said angrily:

"Lord Night! You've already picked up a bargain, can't you let Bai also take medicine and fight with you in a dignified manner? ”

"You don't need ......"

"Why can't I use it? Lord Night is also a generation of heroes, and even the last wishes of the dying will have to be erased, and I don't feel that I have lost my martial virtues......"

Bang Bang Bang –

The two of them quickly pushed their hands on the sheep intestine path, Bai Siming tried to blow up the Great Liangzhu, and Night Terror Hall tried his best to stop it.

Xuanji Zhenren stood behind him, his eyes full of inexplicability, thinking about flashing forward, the scabbard rushed out from under the armpit of the Night Terror, and pointed at Bai Siming's chest with unmistakable accuracy.

Knock –

Bai Siming's actions stopped abruptly, and then his eyes were full of unwillingness and grief, and he slowly fell down, looking like he felt that these two top masters were obviously far superior to him in strength, but they didn't even give him the opportunity to take drugs, which was too inappropriate.

After Xuanji Zhenren knocked down Bai Si's order, he frowned and said:

"What are you doing?"

Night Terror shrugged slightly: "Prevent him from killing himself." In other words, these masters recruited by King Wu can't rebel, and the skills given for nothing are better than the other, and it is not easy to survive until now before they are defeated......"
