Chapter 201: Chasing the Deer (7)
Luo Shuangyi pointed at the big point on the shoulder of the mountain ghost Shuoye, but the mountain ghost Shuoye only moved slightly for a moment, and then attacked violently. Luo Shuangyi was secretly frightened, the mountain ghost Shuo Ye didn't know the pain, he simply didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he unconsciously broke through the acupuncture point blockade in order to attack, he didn't know the pain, and naturally he couldn't feel the impact on his viscera, tremor and bleeding.
Luo Shuangyi was forced by him to retreat, his heel slammed, one hand pressed on the back of the knife he stabbed, the whole person flew up and swept behind him, and stomped the head of the chasing soldier into the snow, and the skull hit with a muffled sound.
However, a sword quickly approached in front of him, and Luo Shuangyi subconsciously blocked it with his wrist guards. Her hand armor was shattered, and her bracers were naturally the end of a strong crossbow, and the tip of the sword pierced into the gap between her radius and ulna after a split second of block.
The bloody tip of the sword peeked through.
"Pulse interceptor, the last glory of the Ten Ghosts of the Luo clan is going to fall today." The head of the mountain ghost family laughed fiercely, not without pride.
Out of the corner of his eye, Luo Shuangyi caught a glimpse of the burning tent.
She jerked her wrist out of her sword, pain as if she had pulled out one of her own bones. The mountain ghost Shuo Ye turned around and slashed at Luo Shuangyi's neck, but was pounced on the face by a monkey that suddenly jumped out, and the blade deviated. Luo Shuangyi desperately pushed another palm into his heart, and his back was inevitably exposed to the head of the mountain ghost family.
ββ
Luo Shuangyi was ready to die.
Luo Shuangyi didn't know when she was bewitched.
Maybe it was Shen Zhou who described to her the retirement life that Luo Shi was looking forward to, and the words were the heavy snow in the clouds that she had never seen; Maybe it was Chu Shixia who said, "Just let a child like her live until the day when all hatred and ambition are eliminated, and freedom and peace come."
Assassins kill lives, and kill people.
Those who betray the Nine Shadows should be wiped out.
Those who are useless to the Nine Shadows should also be wiped out.
Luo Shuangyi never felt that there was anything wrong with this.
However, at a certain moment, Luo Shuangyi also looked forward to living the life of a "traitor".
Just sit quietly under the eaves, with a pot of boiling tea at hand, don't think about anything, do nothing, don't think about when to go out with a weapon to kill, and don't have to lick your blood for an antidote to the poison of the heart.
It doesn't seem to be bad.
ββ
The mountain ghost Shuo Ye was hit by that slap and staggered back, coughing up two mouthfuls of blood. He tore the monkey off his face and slashed it in half with a swing of his knife. The dagger in the monkey's hand fell to the ground along with the mutilated corpse, and the mountain ghost listened intently at night, and there seemed to be a thin whistle in the wind.
The head of the mountain ghost family stabbed Luo Shuangyi in the back of the heart with a sword, but he heard the wind blowing behind him. The head of the mountain ghost family rolled away close to the ground, and the snow stabbed obliquely into the snow under Luo Shuangyi's feet. Chu Zhixia pushed Luo Shuang's clothes, and held the knife that drank the stream snow and clinged to his arm to block the mountain ghost Shuoye.
Luo Shuangyi woke up from the dying release and looked at Chu Zhixia in shock.
Chu Zhixia's face was dirty, the scorched hair was not scattered, the cloak was also torn off by her, and Tian Shuiqing's clothes outlined her vigorous posture.
The mountain ghost didn't have time to move, so he coughed violently. Luo Shuangyi slapped two palms in succession, the ribs in his chest were dislocated and broken, his heart and lungs were damaged, and he couldn't stop bleeding out. He can't feel the pain, so he can insist on attacking even if he is attacked by any kind of attack, and he will involuntarily rush through the sealed acupuncture points.
The mountain ghost family master's eyes were fierce, and he slashed at Chu Zhixia's back with his sword.
Luo Shuangyi subconsciously wanted to block for her, but when she saw Chu Zhixia Zhenkai's weak mountain ghost Shuoye, the hilt of the sword pressed behind Luo Shuangyi and pushed it away.
Drinking Jianxue turned around in Chu Zhixia's hand, Chu Zhixia stepped forward, holding the sword with one hand, his heartbeat and breathing were suppressed to the extreme, and his muscles and bones were buckled to the most perfect state in an instant. The moment Drinking Jian Xue picked up and slashed at the mountain ghost family master from the bottom up, Chu Zhixia's heart was unlocked, and he pumped blood frantically, as majestic as the power that shook the mountain, pressed into a line, condensed on the sword blade of Drinking Jian Xue.
There was a crisp cracking sound of gold and iron.
The sword and the armor were broken in two, and a string of blood was sprinkled in the snow.
The head of the mountain ghost family flew out, and the sword wound ran from his chest through his skull, covering the original scar on his face, but it was longer and deeper than that, almost cutting half of his head. His gradually dilated eyes were facing the snowy sky, and then Chu Zhixia's face was reflected.
The vicissitudes of swordsmanship to the extreme.
All it takes is a sword to decide the winner.
"You ......," the head of the mountain ghost family hissed.
"You, why do you look exactly the same as Luo Shi?" Chu Zhixia frowned and asked.
The head of the mountain ghost family was stunned, and then laughed.
"Luo's and mountain ghosts are already in the same vein."
He dodged Chu Shixia's question.
The twin brothers who were taken away by Luo's and the mountain ghost respectively, but they will never die. One man left a deep scar on the other face, but he was not killed. He has always believed that it is his own destiny that is great, and it is not that the other party is soft-hearted.
How could an assassin be soft-hearted?
The mountain ghost family master's eyelids fell heavily and he stopped breathing.
ββ
Bai Yu woke up in the rickety carriage.
Bai Yu slept for a day and a night, and his last memory was that Bai Huan earnestly persuaded him to be obedient and leave the imperial capital temporarily, and then warmed a cup of milk for him with his own hands, and was clumsily scalded with a string of blisters. Bai Yu felt sorry for him, no longer talked back, thinking that he would not leave even if he died, and then drank the milk and lost consciousness.
Did my brother drug him?
Bai Huan jumped up blankly and slammed the wall of the carriage.
The guards outside the carriage came in to look at him, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" β
"Where am I?"
"According to the order of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, I will take you to hide near the imperial capital first. If the incident is successful, it will take you back to the imperial capital. If ......" the guard hesitated for a moment, pressed the worst result and did not say, "I will take you to Jiangnan to avoid trouble." β
"I'm not leaving."
Bai Yu remembered Fang Cai's dream, and a layer of cold sweat was behind him.
He dreamed that Bai Huan was wearing an embroidered gold dragon robe on the execution ground under the dark clouds, grabbing the sinking boat and asking hoarsely, "Where is my brother?" Shen Zhou leaned over his ear and slit his throat with a blade between his lips and teeth. Blood stained the entire sky red, but Bai Yu's body was like water and wind, passing through Shen Zhou's throat, heart, and hands in vain, watching Bai Huan die.
"I'm going back, someone is trying to harm my brother." Bai Yu yelled, "Stop, go back to the imperial capital!" β
"His Royal Highness King Ruiβ"
Bai Yu pushed him away and jumped out of the carriage. The guards were shocked.
Bai Yu fell into the snow, his nose and face were swollen, but he got up and ran in the direction of the imperial capital regardless of it.
ββ
In the large camp of the Gyeonggi Guard, the soldiers were scattered.
Chu Zhixia tore off the corner of his clothes and bandaged Luo Shuangyi's wrist and looked at Luo Tong who was standing on the side. Luo Tong stood beside the dead mountain ghost Shuo Ye, looking down at the monkey that had been cut off by the waist. Luo Tong didn't know what he was thinking, and kicked the mountain ghost Shuoye hard.
"Kid, come here." Chu Zhixia beckoned to her, "Do you know where Bai Huan went?" β
Luo Tong nodded and said, "My bird follows him." β
"Xiaobai?"
Luo Tong shook his head.
"Whether it's Xiaobai or Xiaohong, can you find it?"
"Hmm!"
Chu Zhixia put his hand to his lips and whistled, and Xue Cheng ran in from outside the barracks. Chu Zhixia quickly put on his light armor, turned over on his horse, and hugged Luo Tong in front of him. Luo Tong was so excited that he looked left and right, grabbed the saddle and didn't let go.
Chu Zhixia said to Luo Shuangyi: "You can retreat, I will bring her back safely." β
Luo Shuangyi nodded against the wound.
ββ
The Gyeonggi Guard broke through the gates and forced the defenders to the bottom of the palace. The walls of Miyagi were much thicker than the gates, and the Gyeonggi Guard, who was in full swing, was exhausted. Yan Jue personally commanded, took the lead, and guarded the palace gate.
Ye Sang understood that any further delay would only make Gyeonggi Wei unable to succeed. He was anxiously waiting for the military report from the front, but saw a pair of grandchildren arriving on horseback. The regent and Bai Huan were protected by the guards, and they were still embarrassed, which surprised Ye Sang.
"Master, Your Highness." Ye Sang asked euphemistically, "Why did you come?" β
Bai Huan didn't answer, but asked: "The city gate has been broken, why can't the palace be attacked for a long time?" β
Ye Sang only smiled bitterly.
Bai Huan coldly killed Lin He in front, and ordered to kill his cousin in the back, if it weren't for the military order, either rush forward or die, there would have been countless deserters. Yan Jue did not fight to the death at the city gate, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he withdrew to Miyagi, and his subordinates had good energy.
Ye Sang had no choice but to say: "The other party's army is inspired, far superior to our army." The soldiers were weary. β
"Yan Jue can take the lead, and I can also lead the troops to recruit in person." Bai Huan said resolutely, "Let all the soldiers understand my determination." β
"Your Highness, no!"
"No!"
The regent and Ye Sang spoke at the same time, and their faces were the same ugly.
"Or, is there a better way to break the city?" Bai Huan asked rhetorically.
Ye Sang was silent.
"If I die, but Miyagi takes it, you still have Ah Yu." Bai Huan said to the regent, "But if I lose, we all have to die, and Chen Boyan will die in vain." β
The Lord Regent closed his eyes and sighed heavily.
Ye Sang lowered his head and said: "My subordinates will protect His Highness safe and sound." β
ββ
Constantly people popped up from the palace wall, and Yan Du repeatedly killed and pushed people down. The ladders fell one after another, like reeds crawling with ants that had been broken off by a urchin and thrown into the water. There were shouts and screams everywhere, and the blood on his face dried up and quickly splattered with new ones.
Yan Jue never waited for Bai Huan's death.
Suddenly, there was an excited shout from the Gyeonggi guards under the city gate, and Yan decided to take a closer look at it, and it was the Gyeonggi guards who tore through the defenses of the foot soldiers under the city gate. The most lethal thing is that the team is composed of dozens of people, and they carry trees on their shoulders that can only be barely hugged by two people, and they slam into the palace gate!
The city gate is solid and heavy, and it cannot be broken without a rhino horn.
But it doesn't take to break down the palace doors.
Yan Jie's pupils suddenly dilated, and the city wall under his feet trembled fiercely.
Yan Jue tried his best to calm himself down, and his eyes fell on Ye Sang, who suddenly appeared on the front line. Half of Ye Sang's shoulder armor was chopped, but he still brandished his weapon to protect the people around him, not only him, but the people in the surrounding circle tightly surrounded the person to prevent others from approaching.
Lin He is dead, and there is no one in the Gyeonggi Guard who is worthy of Ye Sang's protection.
Except for Bai Huan.
Yan never thought about it, so he drew his bow and shot an arrow at the man.
Ye Sang was slashed in the arm, and he also swung his knife to cut down the arrow that went straight to the door of the man's face. The man was safe and sound, but he raised his head at Yan Jue on the city wall. Ye Sang slashed the head of Yu Linwei, who was attacking him, and said something to that person with a respectful attitude.
Yan was determined to have blood and qi surging, and before he could come up with a countermeasure, the city gate under his feet suddenly openedβthe palace was broken.
ββ
The shouts of killing rushed straight to the Xuanzheng Palace, and the emperor was restless. Shen Zhou, who closed his eyes and recuperated, opened his eyes and picked up his sword without saying a word. Bai Ziche was so shocked by his sudden movements that he couldn't speak, but Shen Zhou didn't look at the emperor and Bai Ziche.
Shen Zhou said to Luo Nanshan, who had gotten up to Huo Ran: "Protect Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of Qi to leave." β
"Where are you going?" Bai Ziche's heart rose to his throat.
"The palace gate is broken, which means that Mo Xue didn't kill Bai Huan, or rather, it's not too late. Either way, I'll have to go out and see what happens. Kill the main general, maybe the war will have a turnaround. Shen Zhou pushed his hand away, "Let's go." β
The emperor looked at his back fixedly, thinking that he had thought of something, and suddenly said, "Take off your mask." β
Shen Zhou ignored him and pushed open the door of the Xuanzheng Palace. Chu Lin and the others who were guarding here hesitated to look at their colleagues, and finally Chu Lin spat on the ground fiercely and chased Shen Zhou's figure away. The rest of the people immediately closed the door of the palace and escorted Bai Ziche and the emperor to the apse.
"What are you doing with you?" Shen Zhou frowned and asked.
"Master Shen Zhou, how many years older than the eldest lady? So rude. Chu Lin teased him disappreciatively, "My brother and uncles are worried about you, in the clouds, no child will go to the battlefield for the first time by himself." β
Shen Zhou didn't have time to answer him.
Under the thousands of jade steps is a wide square, and the Xuanzheng Hall is facing the Xuande Gate. The Yulin Guard, who was removed from the city wall, formed a defensive line and stubbornly blocked the Gyeonggi Guard as they advanced inside. Shen Zhou's eyesight is amazing even in the dark, not to mention that Gyeonggi Wei opened the way with fire oil, but wherever there are people, there must be fire.
Shen Zhou saw the people beside Ye Sang at a glance.
"That person is the main general, and the person next to him isβ" Chu Lin stopped suddenly, and a huge uneasiness hit his heart.
If the person who is desperately protecting the Lord is Bai Huan, it means that Chu Zhixia's assassination failed.
But what about the Xia people? Didn't you pull out?
Chu Lin was distraught.
Shen Zhou stood in place in a daze, with a whirling buzz in his ears, and the hand holding the sword jumped violently.
ββ
Yu Linwei resisted to the death and even blocked the offensive of Gyeonggi Wei in front of the Xuanzheng Palace.
Ye Sang had to escort Bai Huan to retreat, and then ordered the people behind him to fill the vacancy. Bai Huan stared dead in the direction of Yu Linwei's advance, a man with a silver-white ghost mask slowly but surely rushed forward, and all those who approached him were killed, he was like a sword of death, bleeding everywhere he went.
"Fire attack." Bai Huan's lips were pale, and his eyes said frantically.
"What?" Ye Sang couldn't believe his ears.
"There is a north wind tonight, attack it with fire, and the wind will blow the fire in the direction of Yulinwei." Bai Huan said loudly.
"Your Highness, this is not a siege, if you attack with fire, I am afraid that it will hurt our soldiers!" Ye Sang dissuaded.
Bai Huan turned his head to stare at him and raised his hand to whip him in the face. Ye Sang rolled off his horse in embarrassment, confessing his guilt uneasily, but refusing to let go. It was only a matter of time before he took the Xuanzheng Palace, why did he have to take the lives of so many soldiers for nothing?
Bai Huan didn't look at him and conveyed the order to the lieutenant general. The adjutant general hesitated for a moment, glanced at Ye Sang, and took the order.
