Chapter 70: The Battle Without Salt (4)
Several people were at a loss, they had never heard of this name, and they couldn't think of a reason. Seeing this, Yang Bao on the side pouted and said, "You guys are too stupid, you don't understand this." ”
Yan Wuwu said with a smile: "So you know? Yang Bao said triumphantly: "Mountain City, Mountain City, is naturally a city." Yan Wuwu said angrily: "Nonsense, who asked you this, why am I asking this?" And where these people come from. Yang Bao's jaw thought about it seriously and said, "I don't know." Yan Wuwu was angry, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Che Fengqing asked Yang Bao, "How did you get trapped by them?" Yang Bao shook his head and said, "Just now I saw the silver-haired girl jingling on the stones, I felt depressed and walked around, and suddenly there was a fire around me, until you woke me up, I didn't see any strange people you said." Ye Suiyun knew that the silver-haired girl he said was Dai Shi, and when he said this, the child seemed even more mysterious. Wei Yi groaned: "Ignore the others, go to the main village to meet first." "A few people identified the direction, hurried quickly, and after a while, they arrived at the main hall of Wuyan Village, 'Juyi Hall'.
At this moment, the inside and outside of the main hall have long been silent, the battle has ended, only the ruins of the broken soldiers and the people who died in battle can be seen everywhere, among which the water bandits are the majority, and the battle situation can be imagined to be extremely tragic. Before he entered the door, he saw many disciples of the Qixiu Beggar Gang running back and forth to help their injured companions. A large number of captured thieves were bound up by the Right Dragon Warrior Army and guarded aside. Ye Suiyun stepped forward to greet Sikong Zhongping, Feng Changqing, Wang Weilin and others one by one. He Quangui saw the helper and hurriedly came to salute. Yan Wuwu said happily: "It seems that we have won a big victory." He Quangui nodded and said: "Thanks to General Feng's ironclad army, it is worthy of being the imperial court garrison." ”
Under careful questioning, He Quangui explained the whole process in detail. After their own brigade and Ye Suiyun and others separated, they rushed straight to the main hall, and encountered the water bandits guarding there in the square outside the hall. You must know that the water bandits guarding the main hall are different from the thieves on the periphery, and they can be regarded as the elite forces of Saltless Island, and there are many people with strong martial arts. Fortunately, there is a dragon army on their own side, and their combat power is several points stronger after all, and after a vicious battle, they finally defeated all the water thieves. Except for those who were killed and captured, the remaining few remnants had already fled in all directions, and roughly calculated, more than 300 thieves were killed and more than 400 prisoners were captured. Although there were nearly 100 people killed in the battle, in general, under Ye Zhiqing's strategy of attacking and defending tonight, it could really be regarded as a complete victory, and Qixiufang was finally preserved.
Ye Suiyun pondered that this might be the best result, and asked, "Ye Fang, where are they?" And that big boss Qian Zonglong, have you seen it? He always thought about this saltless island master, and countless mysteries in his heart needed this person to solve.
Before He Quangui could answer, a person next to him said: "You only know now that you came to ask this and that, but what did you do just now?" "It turned out to be Xiao Ning'er. Seeing that her face was not good, Ye Suiyun was worried about being asked about Monk Chen, so she hurriedly said: "Miss Xiao, where is the respected teacher, but you can capture Qian Zonglong?" Xiao Ning'er said: "Qian Zonglong ran away." Everyone was surprised, and hurriedly asked the reason, only to learn that at the time of the first battle, Feng Changqing's rescue had not arrived, Ye Zhiqing judged the situation, did not dare to wait for a long time, and ordered Wang Weilin to bring a group of disciples to gather with the beggar disciples who came to help drag the peripheral enemy, and he and his sister Xiao Bai led Bai Yiyi, Xiao Ning'er and a group of disciples with strong martial arts rushed into the main village in one go, in order to take Qian Zonglong in the fastest time. When a group of people rushed into the Juyi Hall, Qian Zonglong's brigade guards hadn't had time to assemble, thinking that they didn't expect them to come so quickly. This is also where Ye Zhiqing is powerful, seizing this opportunity intersection and attacking in one go.
In addition to Qian Zonglong, there were also his wife and three Dharma protectors in the hall at that time, plus dozens of bandits. As soon as the two sides looked at each other and started to move, the hall was suddenly chaotic, and the lady took advantage of the chaos to hide in the back hall and never showed up again. Xiao Bairou fought with one enemy and three enemies, and after a long fight, he killed the wealth leader Zhen Tancai and the color leader Laucer, but he was also hit in the back by the wine altar of the wine leader Bu Lijiu and was seriously injured.
Qian Zonglong held the green scale knife in his hand and faced Ye Zhiqing, the owner of Qixiu Fang, with more than 100 moves. Ye Zhiqing also secretly praised this Qian Zonglong in her heart for being a master who has been famous for decades, and she said that this person was just a bandit leader with limited ability, but she underestimated him. Qian Zonglong lost his fighting spirit more and more, seeing that his own people kept falling to the ground or being captured, and he heard the movement outside, he knew that the opponent's brigade had also been killed, and dragged the guards he had just arrived outside again, and looking at the situation, the guards between the fingers and Gu were also going to be wiped out.
At this point in the battle, knowing that the general trend had gone, Qian Zonglong played a trick, and suddenly the blade turned and slashed at Xiao Baiyan next to him. At this time, Xiao Bairou had just killed Cai and Se, and his physical strength was huge, and he suddenly heard the sound of the knife wind, and hurriedly turned around to dodge, but he gave Bu Lijiu on the side the opportunity to seize the opportunity, and threw out the unique weapon 'Stainless Steel Wine Jar' and slammed it on his back, Xiao Bairou spurted out a mouthful of blood and flew out. Ye Zhiqing was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed to hold on, and the Qixiu disciples on the side were also scattered, and a few people hurriedly came to help. Qian Zonglong took this opportunity to escape with Bu Lijiu, Xiao Ning'er just rushed back and saw this scene, so she wanted to chase after her, but Ye Zhiqing shouted to take care of Xiao Baiyan and chased after her.
Ye Suiyun and Yan Wuwu were also surprised, and they were busy visiting, Xiao Baiyan was still unconscious, and his pulse was weak, Bai Yiyi wept and said: "Master is in a coma, and he can't even feed medicine, what can I do?" "She is Xiao Baiyan's personal disciple.
Seeing this, Ye Suiyun said, "I'll try it." The person helped Xiao Bairou up, stretched out a palm against his vest, and carried the internal breath, and sent out a soft force. Looking at Xiao Baiyan again, there was still no reaction, and after a while, Ye Suiyun's forehead was sweating, and his heart was also fifteen buckets of water, and he really didn't know if it would work. He knew that his true qi had a healing effect, and he was useless back then, and he was finally able to continue for this reason, but he didn't know if it would be useful to others. Now I don't dare to work harder, you must know that internal strength is a double-edged sword, which can help people but can also hurt people.
Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, Xiao Baiyan spurted out another mouthful of purple blood, and everyone was shocked, but seeing that Xiao Baiyan had already woken up slowly, his breath was faint and said, "Thank you." Bai Yiyi was overjoyed, didn't care about speaking, and hurriedly gave the best medicine to Master and Shui, and after a while, he saw Xiao Baiyan's face turn from white to red, and then fell into a deep sleep, and it seemed that his life was safe. The Qixiu disciples kept coming forward to thank them, and Bai Yiyi was even more grateful.
Ye Suiyun let out a long breath and said: "There is nothing to do here, the owner of the workshop is chasing the bandit leader alone, it is not appropriate in the end, I will go to support with me." Xiao Ning'er also said: "I'll go too." Ye Suiyun knew that she was worried about her master, and it was inconvenient for her to be against each other. Yan Wuwu slapped the hilt of the sword and said, "Go and fight the bad guys, how can you miss me." "That's not far behind.
To the northeast of Saltless Island, three figures staggered through the dark woods. One of the women supported another unsteady man with a black cover over his right eye, a short beard, and a scar standing under the blindfold, and he said, "Madam, but I can't help you, and I have to run for my life with me." The woman who was holding him had peach cheeks and apricot noodles, and after listening to him, she replied: "What are you talking about, since the day I followed you, we are husband and wife, and we will never say anything like this." The man nodded very pleased, and then said hatefully: "I really can't figure it out, it should be that Lao Tzu agreed on a seamless plan to eradicate Qixiufang, how could they be the first to do it, this group of mothers-in-law will suddenly attack, and the timing is so accurate, just one day ahead of us, we were caught off guard." The third person who walked next to him said: "What the big boss said is right, and this is not early, not too late, just before Chen Jiancong's troops arrive." Could it be that someone leaked the secret? It was the wine leader Bu Lijiu who spoke, and it was naturally Qian Zonglong, the number one person in Wuyan Village, who was called the big boss by him, and the woman who supported him was the eldest lady in Xi'er's mouth, and Du Jixin, Li Bao'er's disciple.
Qian Zonglong said impatiently: "It's useless to say these things now, it's not so easy to get rid of Lao Tzu." I didn't expect this woman to be so good, and the sword qi could be drawn out of the air. "It turned out that when he was fighting against Ye Zhiqing, his left leg was injured by the opponent's sword qi. After a pause, he said: "That Monk Chen usually looks unfathomable, but he didn't even see a figure just now, what a fucking bastard." Bu Lijiu nodded and said: "It's just that Monk Chen is not there, after all, he is not his own person, and Lao Chang is gone, which doesn't make sense." "He said Chang Douqi, but he didn't know that this qi leader had already been beaten into a waste by Ye Suiyun.
Bu Lijiu usually looks dazed and always drunk, but in fact he is the most careful of Qian Zonglong's four protectors, and at this time he suddenly thought of something, and said with doubts: "Yesterday, Yang Taiqing suddenly took people away, and we were raided by Qixiufang tonight, is it really such a coincidence?" ”
Qian Zonglong hesitated slightly, then shook his head and said: "No, I understand Ji Laosan's personality, if he wants to deal with Lao Tzu, he will never be so troublesome, besides, you have also seen that Yang Taiqing, and he is quite generous." And it's the lady who pulls the strings, and it must not be here to make fun of Lao Tzu. Du Jixin glanced at Bu Lijiu and said, "Then Yang Taiqing is the person recommended by my master, how can he harm me." Bu Lijiu only said: "What Madame said is true." "Shut up and don't dare to say more.
Qian Zonglong gritted his teeth and said: "Lao Bu, and relax, let's avoid the limelight for the time being, as long as Ji Laosan and his wife's master secretly help, it will be okay to make a comeback, and then Qixiufang will be flattened." Du Jixin and Bu Lijiu were refreshed when they heard this, and they claimed to be.
Suddenly, there were two clanging sounds ahead, as if someone was plucking the strings. Qian Zonglong and the three of them couldn't help but stop, they were all puzzled, how could anyone play the piano in this dark forest at this moment? It's not that they heard it wrong, but the three of them looked at each other suspiciously, obviously hearing the sound.
Bu Lijiu just said: "The big boss is careful, there are eccentrics." In the depths, the sound of the piano beating, and the sound of empty strings sounded strange in the silence and darkness of the woods, and the hearts of the three of them were covered with a layer of fear.
Qian Zonglong and his people have been in the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, ruthless, killing people and setting fires, he is not a timid person, even if he encounters an opponent who is strong, he dares to fight. But under normal circumstances, human nature is changeable and complex, and behavior often changes according to different environments and moods. At this time, they were defeated like lost dogs, facing the place that had been operating for many years and turned into nothing overnight, although their mouths were hard, in fact, they were all panicked at the moment, like frightened birds, and they were fleeing, so when they heard the sound of the piano, Qian Zonglong and others could not suppress the fear in their hearts and did not dare to move. Although the three of them did not move, the sound of the piano remained the same, the tone was slow and calm, like the smoke of an incense burner, but it is conceivable that the person who played the piano must be as calm as water in his heart, without ripples.
After a while, Bu Lijiu couldn't wait, and said carefully: "Big boss, no matter who is in front of us, we have to break through, otherwise when the people from Qixiufang chase after us, it will really be impossible to advance or retreat." Qian Zonglong and his wife nodded yes, cheered up, walked quickly, and walked through the chaotic bushes. As the sound of the piano became clearer and clearer, the three of them stopped abruptly, only to see that at the place where the sound of the piano started, a person in white clothes and white hair was lying cross-legged, Yaoqin was placed on his lap, and his hands were slowly moving and plucking on it alternately, but he couldn't see his real face in the dark.
Bu Lijiu said boldly and loudly: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, why are you stopping here?" The other party ignored it, and seemed to be unaware of the existence of others. Bu Lijiu knew that there was a difference, but now that the situation of the three of them was urgent, he couldn't delay any longer. The other party's behavior is weird, unpredictable, and unpredictable, so it is better to test it directly. Secretly shouted: "So offended. Leaning forward, he tore off the wine jar at his waist, threw it out, and smashed it straight over. This stainless steel wine jar is a weapon that has been used for many years by Bu Lijiu, with an iron chain on it, holding the head of the chain, and when it is shaken, it is no different from a meteor hammer. Coupled with Bu Lijiu's 20 years of immersion, it is indeed very powerful.
Seeing that the wine jar was smashed, the man in white was still indifferent, bowing his head and plucking the strings. As soon as Qian Zonglong and the three of them were overjoyed, suddenly the note jumped, and a high note burst out, and the wine jar in the air seemed to hit an invisible wall, and flew back upside down after a crisp sound. Immediately followed by two high-pitched notes, Bu Lijiu was shocked, knowing the danger, seeing the wine jar flying back, he didn't dare to pick it up, and quickly let go, he was about to jump backwards, but he didn't know that he had not yet used his strength, poof, two muffled sounds, his legs were bent at the spring, and the horizontal bone ** was hit at the same time, and his body pounced forward and fell to the ground.
Qian Zonglong's heart was shocked, you must know that although Bu Lijiu is not a first-class master, he has also practiced diligently for more than ten years, and he is by no means a person who can be slaughtered, but he was knocked down by the opponent in the air with a snap of his fingers, and he was not surprised by the high skill of the opponent. Looking at it again, the person who played the piano was still the same, as if he had no idea of what was going on around him. Qian Zonglong could knock down Bu Lijiu in a few moves at his own expense, but it was difficult to do it with such an effort. What's more, it is purely based on the sound of the piano to defeat the enemy. At this point, he suddenly remembered someone, and before he could say it, he saw Du Jixin next to him slowly bowing and said, "My nephew has seen Uncle Gao." ”
When the man heard this, he stopped playing and said, "Xin'er, are you guilty?" "The voice is empty and quiet, and the person who appears at this time is naturally Gao Jiangting, the number one master of Qixiufang.
Du Jixin raised her chin, looked away and said, "I don't know what kind of crime Uncle Shi is talking about?" ”
Gao Jiangting didn't answer directly, only sighed lightly: "I didn't expect that a disciple of Qixiufang would die at my hands." Qian Zonglong was shocked when he heard this, raised his knife and rushed forward, shouting, "Madame, go quickly." Rushed straight towards Gao Jiangting. Gao Jiangting's fingers plucked, and the piano sound rose again, sweeping straight towards Qian Zonglong.
Du Jixin panicked and shouted: "Uncle Shi's subordinates are merciful. The shout came out, only to hear the sound of dangdang, Qian Zonglong's knife walked with him, hovering and flying, blocking the sound of the piano from the air several times, his arm was numb, he could barely hold the weapon, and secretly sighed that Gao Jiangting's skill was strong, and he still had this power when he sent it from the air. He is known for his knife skills, and he must be close to him, so he takes the risk and rushes straight ahead.
Gao Jiangting on the other side was also slightly surprised, this person could block his 16 flowing water sounds, and he deserved to be a famous person back then. The two were close at this time, and Qian Zonglong shouted: "Close combat, see what else you can do." "He thinks that the qin demon hurts people with sound, and it seems that he is not good at close combat, and he closes the distance with lightning speed can be regarded as the shortest time of attacking the enemy with his own strengths. Now that he has entered the range, Qian Zonglong's sword momentum is great in an instant, and he stepped forward with the sound of the wind.
Gao Jiangting pulled her body out, stood up suddenly, hugged Yaoqin with one hand, and still plucked the strings with the other hand. The feet are constantly fluttering, the body is extremely fast, but there is no crampedness, it is as straight as Lingbo dance steps, and the posture is calm, which can dodge the eight knives that the other party continues to hand. Qian Zonglong was secretly shocked that this series of eight knives was a proud kung fu in his life, and just now it had the flavor of a surprise attack, and he was so calmly dodged by her, he was very depressed. The two of them kept moving, Qian Zonglong slashed and stabbed, and the offensive was fierce, just to drag Gao Jiangting so that Du Jixin could escape farther. But Gao Jiangting seems to be a trick and wanders around. The white sleeves waved on the strings, making a screeching sound.
The positions where the two were standing kept exchanging, and after a few rounds, they seemed to be evenly matched, but in fact, Qian Zonglong was already miserable. The other party's body is erratic and elusive, and what is even worse is that the sound of the piano is always non-stop, although the lethality is not great, but it is like a flying insect, burrowing into his head from all directions, and the intuition of the mind is more and more swollen. After fighting for a while, Qian Zonglong's eyes were swollen, and he only heard a buzzing sound in his ears, and nothing else.
Du Jixin didn't run away, seeing that Qian Zonglong's moves were getting chaotic, and his posture began to shake, she knew that this was Gao Jiangting's 'magic sound into the brain', gritted her teeth, pulled out the double swords at her waist, rushed to the middle of the two, and after opening the knife that Qian Zonglong slashed out, she stopped him by the waist and hugged him, took a few steps back, turned around and bowed down, and pleaded: "Uncle Shi's subordinates have mercy." Seeing this, Gao Jiangting also stopped and looked at the two coldly. Qian Zonglong spit out a mouthful of blood, collapsed all over his body, and fell backwards softly. Du Jixin hurriedly held on, and after a closer look, Qian Zonglong's ears and eyes were bleeding, clenching his teeth, but with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, Ai Ai said: "Okay, good, madam, you didn't leave." The tone was relieved. Du Jixin said with tears in her eyes: "Naturally, I won't leave." He looked up and said to Gao Jiangting: "Uncle Shi, what do you want to do with Xin'er." Gao Jiangting asked coldly: "Why did you betray the master?" actually led foreign enemies to deal with Qixiufang. Du Jixin opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.
A person came from a distance and said, "Xin'er must be trying to say that although you betrayed your master, you didn't betray your master, right?" It turned out that Ye Zhiqing arrived. She traced all the way from Juyi Hall to this place, and was overhearing the conversation between the two, and then said, "Xin'er, you suddenly disappeared many years ago, so you must have arrived on Saltless Island, right?" ”
A flash of panic flashed in Du Jixin's eyes, and then he calmed down, still not saying a word. Ye Zhiqing sighed: "The world is chaotic, and people in the rivers and lakes are indeed involuntarily. Xin'er, I know that you are not taking this step of your own opinion. If you want to blame, you have to blame. The words stopped, but they did not continue.
Du Jixin looked at Qian Zonglong who was leaning on his body, raised his head and said: "It's my own idea, marrying the big boss is also my own volition, there are many things in the rivers and lakes to fight and kill, and it's not you who beat me or I beat you, it's not surprising." Dealing with Qixiufang is just an ordinary dispute, so you don't have to think about it. ”
Ye Zhiqing looked at Du Jixin fixedly and said, "I know the bitterness in your heart, and I also know that you want to defend your master." After so many years, she couldn't let go of her hatred, so much so that she sacrificed too many people. Well, if I let you go, it's not your sin. In exchange, you tell a person's whereabouts. Du Jixin was very surprised, she didn't expect Ye Zhiqing to let go of the two of them. Before he could speak, he heard someone rushing towards him, shouting, "Master." "It's Xiao Ning'er, and there is Ye Suiyun and Yan behind her.
Ye Suiyun stepped forward to salute Ye Zhiqing and Gao Jiangting, Gao Jiangting glanced at her and said, "It's becoming more and more like a helper." ”
Ye Suiyun smiled slightly, turned his head and asked, "Can you catch Qian Zonglong?" There is an urgent inquiry below. Before Ye Zhiqing could speak, Gao Jiangting said: "The one surnamed Qian was hit by my 'Heavenly Demon Sound' and hurt his brain. I'm afraid I won't live long. Ye Suiyun hurriedly went to look, and Du Jixin said coldly: "Don't look at it, he's dead." Sure enough, Qian Zonglong, who was lying in the crook of her arm, had no breath and was dead, but there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth. Ye Suiyun was depressed in his heart, he was still a step late, and it seemed that the question in his heart was still difficult to solve.
At this time, Du Jixin did not raise his head, stared at the dead Qian Zonglong, and said, "The owner of the workshop asked about the whereabouts of a person, who is it?" ”
Ye Zhiqing stared at her in a daze, and said for a moment: "Don't you know who I want to ask?" Someone who disappeared with you ten years ago. ”
Du Jixin said: "You are asking about Uncle Li, is Li Shangqiu right?" ”
