Chapter 12: Intentional Fighting
Chapter 12: Intentional Fighting
Several bonfires were lit in the camp of the ninth team of the Pegasus Scout Battalion, and the weary warriors took off their armor and rested quietly behind the mounds next to the deserted roads of the trade road.
By this time, they had led a group of iron cavalry of the Xuanjia Legion and pursued the defeated Turkic soldiers for a day and a night, and everyone was exhausted.
The ghost desert road at night is much colder than during the day, and the night wind rolls the sand grains in clusters, as if telling people about the past on the thousand-year-old road.
In a corner of the camp, Lin Feng was bandaging Li Jiangyao's wounds, and the military uniform soaked in blood and sweat was crumpled and thrown at his feet.
Lin Feng was busy in his hands, and secretly wondered in his heart: The young boss in front of him didn't see anything extraordinary on weekdays, but once he was on the battlefield, his whole person became like a god of war possessed, a cold knife with killing intent, and he broke into the enemy group as if he had entered a no-man's land.
Of course, the price is not small.
Lin Feng looked at the bloody clothes on the ground, and then at the wounds on Li Jiangyao's body, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Boss, you ...... next time Can you stop working so hard? ”
Li Jiangyao still had his usual indifferent appearance, and smiled slightly: "I don't want to do this either, but as soon as I hold the handle of the knife in my hand, I forget everything." Look at so many brothers lying in a pool of blood, what do you want me to do. ”
Lin Feng nodded silently, and suddenly asked, "Boss, I heard, you are the apprentice of Great Commander He?" ”
Li Jiangyao: "The news is well-informed. ”
"Really?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up: "Then you make kung fu, which is the famous starfall knife technique?" The blade rises, and the stars fall? ”
Li Jiangyao tightened the gauze on his shoulders: "Why are you making such a fuss?" I can tell you, don't yell at me everywhere. ”
Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh: "When I was studying art in Qingcheng Mountain, I heard my master mention that the Starfall Sword Technique, the Xuanmen Holy Sword, and the Condensing Frost Duel are known as the three great martial arts of Middle Earth, especially for their quick tricks, and the requirements for practitioners are extremely high. You can get the true inheritance of Commander He, you must have suffered a lot, right? ”
Li Jiangyao smiled when he heard this, he really wanted to tell Lin Feng that in fact, when he was learning Xingluo Knife Hair, he didn't feel how hard it was, but saying this really seemed a bit pretentious, so he only smiled and didn't answer.
Speaking of this, it is really a very peculiar situation.
When Li Jiangyao first traveled to this time and space, in addition to having a unique knowledge and insight, he also had inexplicably more abilities, and whenever he concentrated his thoughts, everything around him would suddenly slow down. That feeling, like a movie in slow motion, looks extremely weird.
What's even more bizarre is that his own movements don't slow down in the same way, and everything is still business as usual.
For example, if he is eating on the side of the street, and a flower pot suddenly falls upstairs, he can easily get up and go over, reach out to catch the slowly falling flower pot before hitting the child downstairs, and then walk back to its original position leisurely, put the flower pot on the table, and continue to eat.
And as soon as he relaxed, everything around him returned to normal again, and there was no difference in his rhythm.
It was precisely because of this special ability that He Jingming, the commander of the Fierce Blade Army, was inadvertently discovered, so he took Li Jiangyao into his door and became the only successor of the Starfall Sword Technique.
Your kid's talent, it's a pity that you don't learn the star knife.
He Jingming's evaluation is not bad at all, one of the three most difficult stunts in the world to learn, in Li Jiangyao's eyes, it is almost like a joke.
When He Jingming practiced the Star Falling Sword Technique, Li Jiangyao often mastered a trick that required years of hard practice to achieve a small success, and Commander He secretly wiped his tears while teaching him, so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Therefore, the original plan of a ten-year academic career with master and apprentice ended early after less than six months. Grand Commander He Jingming directly sent Li Jiangyao to the Imperial Capital Yanwutang, saving him from being upset.
Whenever he thinks back on this experience of practicing martial arts, Li Jiangyao can't help but want to laugh, and he misses his teacher even more.
Master's body doesn't know what is going on, so when he goes back, he has to remember to send a letter to Xu Youchang and Murong Xue, and ask them to visit him for him.
Lin Feng's hands and feet were nimble, and it didn't take long to deal with Li Jiangyao's injury, and the two were chatting with each other, when they suddenly saw a scout running over in a hurry:
"My lord, Du Ye and his brothers are fighting with the Xuanjia Army!"
Lin Feng was shocked: Lao Du, this fool, as long as he doesn't patrol usually, then he is designated to attract cats and dogs to cause a lot of trouble, and today he actually made trouble on the head of the Xuanjia Army?!
Li Jiangyao was not in a hurry: "Is there a dead man?" ”
"Uh...... I didn't have it when I came back, but that's hard to say. Your Excellency, you better hurry up and take a look, you may die a lot if you are late! ”
"Nonsense," Li Jiangyao snorted coldly: "If I go, I will die more!" ”
Lin Feng was even calmer: "Do you know why Lao Du fights with others? ”
The scout wiped the sweat from his head, "It's all thanks to the Raven Army!" They robbed us of the loot, but Du Ye was angry, so he fought with the other party. ”
Li Jiangyao raised his eyebrows: "What?" Loot grabs? What loot? Weapons? Grain and grass? Steed? It can't be gold, right? ”
"Prisoner! The Crow Army is robbing people from us! ”
According to the military system of the Holy Tang Dynasty, captives are first-class war profits, and the more captives, the higher the rank, and the heavier the rewards, no wonder Du Jian cares so much.
"Damn! Dare to snatch the profits of the Pegasus scouts, let alone the Xuanjia Army, even if the tiger and leopard are riding! Li Jiangyao waved his hand: "Brothers, all come with me!" Find those black crows to fight! ”
With that, he picked up the Starfall Knife and rushed out with a roar, completely unaware that he was unclothed at this time, and only had a pair of shorts on top and bottom.
Behind him, the whole team was still asleep, and none of them responded, only Lin Feng and the scout hurriedly chased behind.
The three of them crossed the ghost desert road, bypassed the teams that returned to the camp one after another to rest, and rushed to a Hulin outside in a blink of an eye.
Not far away, there were hundreds of Xuanjia soldiers tightly surrounding several carriages, not knowing what they were studying.
The scout who reported the news raised his hand and pointed to it, saying that it was the gang that robbed the loot, but now Du Jian and the others were missing.
Li Jiangyao slowly retracted his steps, put the Xingluo knife on his shoulder, and walked closer step by step: "Which bastard robbed Lao Tzu's goods?" Spit it out! ”
Hearing this nondescript black words, the Xuanjia warriors present couldn't help but turn their heads to look, only to see an almost half-naked boy glaring at them with an angry face, and suddenly became angry and funny.
The officer who led the team glanced at him, and originally planned to scold, but he suddenly saw Lin Feng behind him, wearing the military uniform of the Zhenjiang Metropolitan Protectorate, wearing the rank accessories of a junior colonel, and his rank was slightly higher than himself.
Although the two sides belonged to different legions, and there was no distinction between the upper and lower ranks, the Shengtang army was strictly disciplined, and when he saw his comrades with higher ranks than himself, the officer did not dare to be too rude, and asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing?" ”
Li Jiangyao didn't pay attention, only stared at him with his eyes, and the officer couldn't help but be secretly angry, and said patiently: "The seventeenth team of the Shanzi Battalion of the Xuanjia Legion is on business here, please report your identity." ”
Lin Feng saw that Li Jiangyao had been silent, and was about to speak first, trying to resolve the misunderstanding between the two sides. It's a pity that before he had time to say anything, he heard Li Jiangyao snort coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and hand over the goods, and then roll as far as you want!" ”
The Xuanjia officer was so humiliated by him, his face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "There are no rules! Come on, take him down! ”
"Wait!" Lin Feng secretly sighed that Li Jiangyao was deliberately provocative, and shouted: "This is the captain of the Pegasus Scout Battalion of the Zhenjiang Capital Protectorate, Lord Li!" Which of you would dare to make a mistake? ”
The officer was slightly stunned: "Captain? Just him? ”
"It's me, what's wrong?" Li Jiangyao's face was frosty: "Seeing that Shangguan doesn't give a military salute, who is the thing that doesn't follow the rules?" ”
Not to be outdone, the officer said: "Waist card!" ”
"Why?"
"If you don't look at the waist card, how can you prove your identity?"
Li Jiangyao smiled coldly: "You open your eyes and take a good look, is there a place on my body where I can put a waist card?" ”
The officer also sneered: "Don't bring a waist card? Then I suspect that you are spies of the Turks! ”
Lin Feng's heart sank when he heard this. He is too familiar with his captain, and if he wastes a long time with the other party, the purpose is to make things more complicated, and now the officer does not know the seriousness, and actually accuses Li Jiangyao of being a Turkic spy in person, and I am afraid that this fight will not be able to be fought if he wants to.
Sure enough, Li Jiangyao raised his arm with a smile, pointed to the other party's nose and said, "You said this sentence, don't deny it later." A group of stinky crows, since they suspect that the master is a Turkic spy, why haven't they come up to arrest people? Cowardly? ”
"Look for death!" The officer was a little annoyed by Li Jiangyao, and pulled out his saber with a quick sigh: "Take the three of them down for me!" ”
Lin Feng was shocked when he saw this, it was getting late at this time, and it was on the battlefield again, once these hundred or so Xuanjia troops launched a madness, they killed the three of them with their hands, and casually threw the corpses into the sand, it was not a matter at all.
He shouted at the scout beside him, "Leave us alone, run for your life!" ”
At the same time, a Xuanjia soldier rushed directly towards Li Jiangyao according to the commander's order.
However, he had only just taken two steps up, when he suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and a big foot appeared in front of him out of thin air as if he were doing a trick.
The momentum was too fast, so that he didn't have time to react at all, and his whole face directly hit Li Jiangyao's ghostly right foot, only to hear a bang, the bridge of the soldier's nose was sore, his eyes were full of stars, and he knelt down with his big face covered.
Li Jiangyao retracted his right leg like lightning, then turned to the side and kicked the other soldier in the lower abdomen. The man was so pained that he flew backwards screaming, knocking down two comrades who were following him.
In the blink of an eye, there was chaos outside Hulin.
Seeing that their partners were injured, the Xuanjia warriors were all furious, and they all gathered around Li Jiangyao and Lin Feng.
Li Jiangyao reacted extremely quickly, and with a few light dodges one after another, he almost avoided the weapons that greeted him, and quickly rushed into the crowd, swayed his fists and feet, knocked down a few Xuanjia warriors in the blink of an eye, and jumped out of the encirclement.
He calmly raised the Xingluo knife that was still in the sheath, and pointed at everyone: "You really did it?" ”
The officer leading the team almost vomited blood, obviously he had been doing it, but he just put on a dead look like he had been bullied, and he was obviously playing the Xuanjia Army.
The officer was furious and shouted, "Give it to me!" No mercy! At the same time, he rushed forward and brandished his saber and slashed at Li Jiangyao.
The Xuanjia soldiers in all directions shouted in unison, grabbed their weapons one after another, and surrounded and killed again.
Lin Feng's eyes were quick, he raised his leg to let go of a soldier, grabbed a spear with his hand, and protected himself steadily, while staring at Li Jiangyao, who was in a heavy siege.
I saw that Li Jiangyao first swept the scabbard of the Falling Star Sword in a chic manner, forced back the soldiers who rushed up, and then suddenly flashed in front of the officer. The officer shouted in his heart, "It's just in time", quickly grasped the hilt of the knife, and slashed head-on towards Li Jiangyao regardless of it.
At the last moment, there was a sudden swish in his ears, and a horsewhip shot from a distance, impartial, and struck the officer in the face.
The officer howled miserably and fell on his back, making Li Jiangyao look cloudy: Huh? Why did you lie down all of a sudden?
The Xuanjia warriors were also taken aback, and involuntarily stopped their movements and turned their heads to look back.
The officer was lying on the ground, feeling that half of his face was swollen, and he was in pain. He couldn't help but be angry, struggled to get up from the ground, and was about to find the person who attacked him desperately, but at a glance, he suddenly trembled again, and knelt down on one knee instead: "See Lord Lieutenant!" ”
