Chapter 227: In Chang'an
"The sound of horses' hooves? It's the Tang Dynasty reinforcements......" The short man exclaimed, and involuntarily looked in the direction of the official road to the west.
It was just such a stunned effort, his throat was cut by Xiao Rui's seven-star knife, and he became the third person to be killed, the last one was a Tubo person after the old monk.
Now in the six-person killer team, there are only thin bamboo poles and two people from the Western Regions left.
As soon as the short man died, it seemed to be the last straw that overwhelmed the enemy's psychological defense line, and the two people from the Western Regions retreated violently in unison, "Escape!" ”
"Waste, he's going to be dead soon...... "Thin Bamboo Pole roared angrily.
Escape? kidnapped Lao Tzu's family, and still want to escape? The seven-star knife in Xiao Rui's hand came out of his hand and pierced through a person's chest on the spot.
The thin bamboo pole took this opportunity and slashed at Xiao Rui's neck, which was blocked by him with his left arm, fortunately he was wearing arm armor inside, otherwise his arm would have been cut off this time.
When he came back to his senses, he slapped the thin bamboo pole with one palm, pulled out the short knife that was stuck in the bone in his left arm, and threw it again, and the other person from the Western Regions who escaped five steps also fell to the ground in hatred.
Xiao Rui finally lost his strength and lay on the ground, coughing up blood in his mouth. Not to mention the mouth, now all over the body except for the soles of the feet, there are basically mouths, and blood is dripping everywhere.
Seeing this, the thin bamboo pole laughed wildly.
"Xiao Rui, Champion Hou? Hahahaha, it is rumored that you are an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and your kung fu is extremely high. Originally, we didn't believe it, how tall can a doll who is less than twenty years old be in his teens? I only learned in today's battle that the rumors are true, you can be ambushed and kill the five of us, and it is not bad to say that you have the courage of an overlord. ”
Xiao Rui coughed a few times and struggled to sit up, but unfortunately he only raised his neck and couldn't sit up at all.
"Less nonsense, there is still one of you, Lao Tzu will not kill you, tell me where Xiangcheng and Changle are?"
The thin bamboo pole mocked: "Heh, you still have a hard mouth when you die." Come, Lao Tzu will stand here and let you kill, there is a kind of you stand up. ”
Xiao Rui gave up, as if he didn't have any strength, his neck was crooked, and he closed his eyes and waited for death.
The thin bamboo pole took off a short dagger from his lap, leaned down and squatted beside Xiao Rui, and said proudly: "Do you want to know where your wife and children are?" Go down and ask Yan ......"
Well?
Xiao Rui, who pretended to close his eyes and wait for death, suddenly swung out his right arm, and at some point there was an extra long sword in his hand, which was almost an inch on the neck of the thin bamboo pole, but unfortunately it was blocked by the opponent's short dagger.
"The old monk was killed by your clever swordsmanship, so I will guard against you early."
The thin bamboo pole slapped off the long sword in Xiao Rui's hand, grabbed Xiao Rui's neck with one hand, and pressed the dagger against Xiao Rui's heart, showing bloodthirsty greed in his eyes, because the reward of ten thousand gold was in front of him, and the original plan was to divide it equally among six people, hehe, they are all dead, and the bounty is all mine!
Listening to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, the thin bamboo pole said proudly: "Go to see the king of Hades, Xiao ......"
Forehead...... How is this possible?
The dagger had just pierced the flesh of Xiao Rui's chest, and a long sword had already pierced the throat of the thin bamboo pole. It's Xiao Rui's neglected left hand, how can the thin bamboo pole not think of it, when did an injured and half-disabled left hand have an extra long sword?
Xiao Rui struggled to turn over and spat a mouthful of blood, "Go down and ask Hades, maybe he knows what it means to hang." Tell me, where are the hostages? ”
The thin bamboo pole stretched out his finger and pointed at Xiao Rui's injured chest, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he glanced back in the direction of Chang'an City, shook his head at Xiao Rui, and looked at the mouth shape as if to say: You will never find it!
Xiao Rui glanced up and suddenly realized: "You mean, people are in Chang'an City?" With good strategy, the most dangerous place is the safest. ”
But the thin bamboo pole was not panicked at all, but swallowed with a smile, and pointed his fingers at Xiao Rui's chest until he died.
Xiao Rui slapped away the other party's raised hand and mocked: "Why is it still old when you die...... Wait, you mean? What am I going to do, the dagger is poisonous? ”
When I opened the placket, I saw that sure enough, the flesh on my chest that had been pierced had begun to show a pale cyan color, and the blood that flowed out was not red.
"It's so ruthless, see the poison that seals the throat with blood! What about the antidote? Why are you dying late, the antidote? Xiao Rui rummaged through the other party's corpse for a while, but unfortunately found nothing, "What's the matter, aren't you afraid that one day you will accidentally hurt yourself and poison yourself?" ”
"I hope that the anti-toxicity of the relics is okay." Xiao Rui took out the silver needle he was carrying, reluctantly helped him seal the acupoint to stop the bleeding, and took out some gold sore medicine, antidote pills and the like from the storage ring.
Not long after, the cavalry team led by Wei Chigong arrived.
"How are you, Master Pony? Who ambushed you? Is it the person who kidnaps the ticket? ”
Xiao Rui pointed to the corpses on the ground: "General Wei Chi, bring all the corpses back, that team of crossbowmen is a person in the army, and they use the hard crossbow in the army." Be sure to check who it is. These six are kidnappers, the hostages are in Chang'an, take me back quickly. ”
"What? Is there someone in the army who collaborates with the enemy? You killed all the robbers? So how do you find the hostages? Wei Chigong's brain couldn't react a little.
Xiao Rui was helped onto the war horse, and then pointed to the corpses of several robbers and said: "Take these corpses, find a good fine dog, track and track ...... in Chang'an City."
"The master of the horse, the ...... of the horse" Everyone exclaimed, before Xiao Rui finished speaking, the whole person fell off the horse, it was really not good, excessive blood loss, plus poisoning, it was not easy to survive until now.
The tactic of dragging him to death with a thin bamboo pole was right, but unfortunately, bad luck, Wei Chigong came with his troops, which caused the five-person killer team to be unstable. If you are waiting for Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin to come to help, I am afraid that you can only collect Xiao Rui's body.
If the thin bamboo pole is not so much nonsense, but a clean and neat chopping head and mending knife to get money, it is estimated that the finale will be in advance.
In the deserted and broken Taoist temple in the west of Chang'an City, there is only the sound of birds and birds in the courtyard, and the cellar is dark and damp, not to mention the sound, and the black that you can't see your fingers can see.
Xiangcheng has been awake, Xiao Changle is still a child after all, he can't stand the exhaustion, sometimes wakes up and sometimes falls asleep.
There was a gurgling sound of stomach, Xiao Changle woke up, panicked by the dark environment, Xiangcheng hurriedly comforted each other, and the two relied on each other to comfort each other.
"Woo, sister, why didn't my brother-in-law come to save us? Can't you find it? Wow...... We're going to die here. ”
Xiangcheng pale and weakly persuaded in a low voice: "No, your brother-in-law will definitely come, you can sleep again, it's like a dream, and when you wake up, you will be saved." ”
Xiao Changle sobbed: "But I'm hungry and can't sleep." Sister, are you hungry? I have ...... in my purse My purse was snatched away by the bald bad guy, woo woo ......"
Xiangcheng smiled, "Silly sister, even if we don't snatch it, it's useless, we are tied hand and foot, and we can't eat." Well, let's sleep a little more with my sister, the more I cry, the hungrier I get. ”
said so, Xiangcheng was also afraid, she was not afraid of her own death, she was worried about her sister Changle, and at the same time she was more worried about the child in her womb, it would be okay if she didn't eat, but if it dragged on for a long time and was too weak, the child would ......
I don't know how long it took, Xiangcheng's consciousness was almost blurred, and he heard a few dog barks in a trance.
