Chapter 496: The hometown is still waiting to be returned
On the way to continue westward, Lin Manliu thought back to the sudden appearance of Cang Xuantong and the "shouldn't" mentioned twice in his mouth.
The first "shouldn't" said that there were more moon cold branches around him.
What Cang Xuantong means is that he should have gone alone to get to the alley blocking the road, and the rest of the people should have taken a detour to the west?
The young man wondered in his heart, if he knew their plan to enter the city this time, would it only be the same person who stood in the way of Cangxuan?
And in the previous competition, Cang Xuantong didn't mean to stop them at all, and even deliberately let them continue to move forward...
Just when Lin Manliu was guessing, the location of the military camp in front of the two of them lit up with a sky-high flame!
There's something wrong with Uncle Joe?!
Lin Manliu knew that something was wrong, and after informing the Yue Hanzhi beside him, they continued to speed up their pace and rushed towards the military camp on the southwest side of the inner city.
By the time the two approached, there was already a fire outside the barracks, and the sound of slashing and slashing from it was endless.
From the gap in the sky-high flames, Lin Manliu vaguely saw Qiao Rustchen's flickering figure, as if he was fighting with the enemy thief.
"How could Uncle Joe force his way into the camp? The fire outside the camp is really strange..."
Yue Hanzhi responded: "First look for an opportunity to enter the barracks, and after investigating the situation, try to solve them!" ”
Lin Manliu snorted and walked towards the west side of the barracks.
It didn't take long to find a watchtower, the fire was much smaller than in other places, and it was relatively safe to sneak into the camp from here.
Lin Manliu used Xia Mingcia to slash the huge object in front of the two of them, and if the burning wood fell down, it was blocked by Yue Hanzhi's sword, and the two of them moved forward extremely fast, and they approached the position of the main tent of the military camp after a while.
Without the blocking of the firelight, the faces of the people who fought against Qiao Rust Chen could be seen clearly.
Why didn't Lin Manliu expect that it would be Ye Chengzhu who was sitting here in person?
When he set off before, he had already thought of a variety of possibilities, Cang Xuantong who had just blocked the road was among them, but only this Ye Chengzhu should not appear here.
This person does not stick to the heavens with the clouds and dust, what is the purpose of being here?
Under Lin Manliu's gaze, the desperate fight between Qiao Ruchen and Ye Chengzhu was nearing the end, and the latter had a relatively greater chance of winning.
Although he didn't make his bamboo umbrella - Qingzhulang, he held Liu Mei's sword in his hand, known as the head of the four swords, Hanmei.
The head of the four swords forged by this Casting Sword Peak, against the self-used saber enshrined by the Casting Sword Peak, between the two slashing back and forth, the long sword in Qiao Rustchen's hand already had several more gaps.
Ye Chengzhu said: "Qiao enshrines... Now it's too late to surrender, and he can reunite with his wife and daughter one day, so why should he end up with a dead end? ”
Qiao Ruchen snorted, and did not reply to Ye Chengzhu.
The long sword in his hand shook suddenly in front of him, and then a sword was handed out, heading straight for Ye Chengzhu's door.
The sword is broken!
Seeing this, Ye Chengzhu immediately urged Hanmei in his hand, and he actually learned the charm of Qiao Rusty Dust two or three out of ten, and slashed out with a sword!
Suddenly, the two soldiers collided again, but there was no collision sound as before.
Click-
Instead, a blade shattered and burst out from in front of the two of them, and then the sword in Qiao Rust's hand shattered on the spot.
Ye Chengzhu spoke: "At this moment, the blade is useless. Do you still have to do all this useless work? ”
Qiao Ruchen glanced back, the disciple of Sword Casting Peak, who was also in a bitter battle, he raised his hand to wipe the blood on his face, and finally stared at Ye Chengzhu's figure.
"Even if you come to fight, you don't need to provoke Qiao, but if the evil has already planted the eyeliner early, then some of the plans of the Sword Casting Peak, I'm afraid the evil has already known!"
Ye Chengzhu opened his mouth and chuckled: "Qiao is so confident, is he sure that before the evil came here, he didn't challenge you to forge the Sword Peak?" Didn't even capture your little girl? ”
Qiao Yanchen no longer responded to Ye Chengzhu, he held the broken saber in his hand in front of him, ready to fight at any time.
Ye Chengzhu showed a playful smile on his face, and he began to play with Hanmei in his hand.
He spoke out loud: "Qiao Xian's daughter hid in a village in Fengjie some time ago, right? ”
Qiao Ruchen was noncommittal, still maintaining his previous sword-holding posture.
Ye Chengzhu raised his wrist, and the blade in his hand immediately pointed at Qiao Ruchen's neck.
He continued: "Then I don't know if Qiao is worshipped, what is in Guifeng's buried sword valley? ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Qiao Ruchen was slightly stunned, but Lin Manliu, who was hiding his figure, showed a look of surprise on his face.
But even if the evil knew about the existence of the Buried Sword Valley, when he mentioned it to Qiao Ruchen at this moment, could it be that he knew the traces of the master and the mountain master?
Without waiting for Qiao Rust to respond, Ye Chengzhu began to talk to himself again.
"Xu Shiqiao has been worshipping for many years and has not asked about the affairs in the peak, and I am afraid that the dossier of the Buried Sword Valley is less than we know, right?"
Hearing this, Qiao Ruchen's face became a little unkind, and his figure rushed forward, and the blade in his hand was facing the position where Ye Chengzhu was, and he slashed away with a sword.
The sword is back to the wind!
But before Qiao Ruchen's figure could get within five steps of the other party, he saw several sword lights appear in front of him.
Qiao Ruchen's heart sank, I'm afraid this is Ye Chengzhu's real means, the previous fights were all to delay time, and he deliberately hid it.
The broken blade was already shattered, and at this moment, it was slashed by a sword of Hanmei, except for the two positions of the sword grid and the hilt, there was no intact place.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Lin Manliu couldn't worry too much about it, and his figure immediately flashed out.
The Xia Ming cicada in the young man's hand, with the strength of the drag, directly attacked the direction of the Han Mei.
Ye Chengzhu looked at the boy who suddenly appeared, and the smile on his face was much more frivolous than before.
He said loudly: "It seems that Xuantong's martial arts still need to grow..."
After that, Qi Hanmei, who was about to slash at Qiao Rust Chen, immediately turned around halfway and attacked Lin Manliu's flying figure.
The two soldiers collided immediately, and Ye Chengzhu was ready to forcibly suppress the young man in front of him with brute force, but as a result, Lin Manliu's wrist was horizontal, and Xia Mingciao's sword body immediately rotated, and the situation of sword blades colliding immediately turned into sword blades against sword bodies.
The position of Xia Mingciao's sword body is no longer hollowed out compared to before, and in the center of the entire blade, a turquoise short sword has been embedded-Spring Window Butterfly.
Qiao Ruchen looked at Lin Manliu who came to the rescue, and he hurriedly reminded in a low voice.
"There is no need to fight with it here, the fire is already showing here, and opening the city gate as soon as possible is the best choice!"
It's not supposed to be here...
Originally, he wanted to set fire a military tent as an opportunity to panic, but the camp tent located in the northeast corner of the barracks had just been ignited, and the other four barracks in the southeast, northwest, and southwest directions also burned one after another.
Someone secretly helping?
Unlikely...
Seeing such a bizarre situation, Qiao Ruchen immediately sensed that things were not simple, and began to lead people to escape from the military camp in the southwest of the inner city.
But just as he was about to quit the barracks, he was stopped by Ye Chengzhu and others, so at this moment, he could only lead his disciples to fall into the barracks, and the chance of getting out was extremely slim.
When he was about to remind Lin Manliu to deal with it carefully, Qiao Ruchen was surprised to find that Ye Chengzhu's face had become a little pale since he swung his sword.
What's going on?
On the other hand, on Lin Manliu's side, although the young man was slashing heavy soldiers, he did not have the slightest gasp on his face, and his physical strength was exhausted.
After Lin Manliu blocked Ye Chengzhu's attack, his figure immediately withdrew backwards, and finally arrived at Qiao Rustchen's side.
"Uncle Joe, we're here to help you!"
Yue Hanzhi also revealed his figure from the hiding position while the young man spoke.
Qiao Ruchen sighed and reminded again: "This person's swordsmanship is extraordinary, the three of us joining forces are not necessarily his opponents, this place is not suitable for a long time, you went to open the city gate before, it is the most important thing!" ”
Lin Manliu spoke up and rejected his proposal.
"Even if Hanzhi and I arrive at the west gate of the city, without the response of Uncle Qiao and the others, the two of us alone will not be able to buy time for General Guan Xiao and them to enter the city, so we have to go together!"
From the conversation between Qiao Ruchen and Ye Chengzhu, the young man had almost heard a rough idea.
Xu is evil on the grounds of capturing Senior Sister Qiao and making trouble casting Sword Peak, and is ready to coerce Uncle Qiao to defect.
The look on Uncle Qiao's face was undoubtedly the intention of rejecting the other party, but Ye Chengzhu still did not give up.
Qiao Ruchen sighed, took two steps forward, and protected Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi behind him.
"That's it... But you two juniors, you need to protect yourself first, and leave the rest to me! ”
Lin Manliu walked forward, standing on a par with Qiao Ruchen, and the young man took out something from his waist and handed it to the middle-aged man beside him.
"When I first saw Uncle Qiao, I was also in a sea of fire like today, when the boy's sword was not sharp, and he was protected by Uncle Qiao..."
Yue Hanzhi also walked forward and stood beside the young man.
She answered and said, "Now that the blade in your hand is acceptable, you can't hide behind your elders anymore!" ”
Qiao Ruchen looked sideways at the two people beside him, and the utensils that Lin Manliu handed him were the same mountain and wild trips that he had personally forged for his daughter.
Lin Manliu said: "Senior Sister Qiao gave the sword in the past, and today the kid will definitely repay Uncle Qiao!" ”
Qiao Ruchen took the mountain field from the young man's hand, and he stared at the short sword in his hand for a long time without saying a word.
Lin Manliu's gesture of handing over the sword actually has another meaning, and the two of them don't need words at all, and they will understand.
Isn't the scene at this moment the line of small words carved on the short sword?
Jackdaw noise evening scene, arbor home.
At the top of the Sword Forging Peak outside Juzhou City, there is still a family waiting for him to go back...
In a village in Fengjie, there is still his daughter waiting for him to return...
In the long-forgotten Valley of the Buried Sword, there is still an elder who cares about him...
So he, the Qiao family, can't die!
Lin Manliu turned his head to look at Ye Chengzhu, and the young man clenched his hand to Xia Mingcicada.
He said loudly: "Although I don't know how much collusion there is between you and the old liar, but it is we who are facing you today!" ”
Ye Chengzhu danced a sword flower in his hand, and he didn't have the intention of responding to the arrogant words of the young man in front of him.
Is it disdainful to turn a deaf ear and turn a blind eye to this?
Or is it just as Qiao Ruchen said before, even if the three of them join forces, they may not be able to win against Ye Chengzhu...
But Lin Manliu knew that he had the upper hand in the previous blade collision.
Ye Chengzhu's stagnant behavior was obviously due to the backlash of the four swords, he had Xia Ming Cicada, and Ye Chengzhu only had Hanmei in his hands.
