The Bodyguard Goes North Chapter 180 Ambush
Seeing Xie Mubai, Bai Yutian and the others gone, the man in gray said: "Master, just let them cross the bridge like this, wouldn't it be impossible to explain to the top." ”
Northern Sword Shen Xingchen looked ahead and replied softly: "If your skills are not as good as others, you can block it for a while, and you can block it for a lifetime." Besides, when the Pure Yang Sword comes out, the rules of martial arts will be changed, so why do you need to explain anything to the old people and old things. ”
If you want to say how Shen Xingchen is feeling now, you can sing and sing harmony in verses - Li Du's poems have been passed down by thousands of mouths, and they are not new to this day. There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. Medium
The man in black said: "Master, the most powerful thing in the world is not martial arts, but conspiracy, traps, and sinister intentions that come prepared. Bai Baiyu was such a hero back then, but in the face of other people's intrigues and tricks, he was like a ten-year-old child, who gave everything he had overnight and was defeated. I'm afraid that this Bai Shaoxia will attack more than enough and defend enough, and he will not be able to resist the sinister intentions of others, repeat the mistakes of the past, and lose in vain. ”
Shen Xingchen smiled indifferently and said, "If you're afraid of losing, how can you win." It's justice, there are lateness, but there is never absence. We don't need to be mediocre. ”
The man in gray said: "Master, then we are going there now, are we going back to Beiyue Heng Mountain?" ”
Shen Xingchen glanced to the south and said, "The party in the imperial court is fighting everywhere, the party is fighting against each other, and the internal friction is continuous. There is no Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures in the north as a barrier, and the northwest border is troubled again, I am afraid that it will be difficult to pacify, and the Great Song Dynasty will move south, just around the corner. You were born in the south, go to Nanyue Hengshan, lest your children and grandchildren flee in order to survive and lose their due dignity. ”
The man in black said: "Master, didn't you say that the imperial court intends to change the law and innovate?" ”
Shen Xingchen shook his head slightly and said: "Looking at the ancestors who changed the law and tried to become strong, there is the power of the Son of Heaven in his hands, and he can be nine tripods in one word; There are subjects who contribute their ideas, and everyone can be united. In today's imperial court, in addition to sitting in a high position, listening to people's chatter, accepting the saliva of the ministers, appeasing the dispute between the two parties, and trying his best to balance the good interests, he is to ask people to do things and continue that comfort. In the face of interests and comfort, an emperor who cannot monopolize the dynasty and governs the country with benevolence, even if he can start the reform of the law, he will either daydream or die halfway. ”
After the words fell, Shen Xingchen turned his face and looked at the north, leaving endless sentimentality wherever his eyes went. After a while, one suddenly turned around, took heavy steps, and walked towards the south, followed closely by the two disciples, enjoying the journey with reluctance.
However, none of the three looked back at the north.
......
It is said that Ximen Qing, Gui Haiming, Ning Zhen'an, Lu Lianhai and others left the canyon, went out of the mountains, found a small town, swept away the wine and food specially prepared for pedestrians in the town, left the town, and continued to move forward.
Hundreds of people walked together, and everywhere they passed, not only eating and drinking were problematic, but also could cause panic among the locals.
Ximen Qing listened to Ning Zhen'an's suggestion and sent home the hundreds of people who lived in the south, had families and had no intention of going north. The remaining 50 or so people divided into two routes to the north and met outside Bianjing City.
Ximen Qing and Guihai Ming brothers considered that they were carrying martial arts secrets, and they were afraid that well-wishers would be worried, so for the sake of safety, they chose some people who thought they could be trusted and strong in martial arts, Ning Zhen'an, Yang Yunfeng, Liu Yunyu, Lu Lianhai, Luo Lingfeng, Ling Guyan, Zhu Siwu Seven people were listed, and the other more than 20 people were in a group, and the four brothers who were called "Tiantai Sixiu" by the Jianghu people led the team north.
Ximen Qing, Gui Haiming and other people, all the way to the north, over the mountains and mountains, across the river and stream, send away the sun, usher in the moon, on the way to find a broken temple, will be one night, the next day at dawn on the north. More than 20 people walked through the mountains, forests and countryside, although the hunger and heat were unbearable, but the steps were consistent, light and cheerful.
"Second envoy, out of this valley, there is a small town in front of it." Yang Yunfeng looked hungrily at the sun in the sky and said happily.
Ximen Qing looked up at the sky and shouted, "Everyone speed up, fill your stomach and hurry." ”
When the congregation heard this, they all rejoiced, took great strides, and hurried forward. If I hadn't eaten one or two cakes last night, I didn't eat breakfast today, and I felt ashamed to waste my physical strength, so I really wanted to test my foot strength to see whose internal strength ranked first.
More than twenty people marched in a hurry, and a white light shot in from the mouth of the valley, illuminating the faces of the people full of laughter, and also illuminating the hearts that hid joy. Before I had time to rejoice, dozens of heavenly soldiers would come in an instant, arranged and formed, sealing the narrow valley mouth like an iron gate.
Ximen Qing stepped forward and shouted: "Who are you?" ”
A rain of arrows came in response, so rude.
When the sect members of the Dragon Slayer Society saw it, it was Xiucai who met the soldiers, and hurriedly dodged. Who expected that the man in front was fine, but the man at the back fell a few.
Ximen Qing felt that something was wrong, and when he turned around, he saw that there were more crossbowmen in the back than in the front, intercepting their retreat. In desperation, he saw that although the slopes on both sides were steep, they were not very high, and shouted: "Go up the mountain." ”
When the heroes heard this, they hurriedly transported their true qi into the soles of their feet and climbed up. Who knew that people were halfway through, on the top of the mountain, arrows rained down, forcing the heroes to fall back to the same place, and the unfortunate ones were hit by several arrows.
There is really no way forward, there are chasing soldiers behind, there is no ladder in the sky, there is no door to the ground, and there is a turtle in an urn.
In order to survive, Ximen Qing and the others had to pull out their blades, dodge as much as they could, and block as much as they could, holding on for a while.
Some of the ambushers were wearing military uniforms, some wore black cloths, and some simply showed their true faces. Seeing that Ximen Qing and the others were gradually injured, and gradually some people fell, he let go of his posture and approached step by step while adding up the rain of arrows, narrowing the ambush circle.
Ximen Qing blocked a few arrows that came and shouted at the men who rushed down from the mountain: "Tieshi, Shi Qiongyi, how can we be wronged, and dare to meet like this today." ”
Eagle King Tieshi smiled contemptuously and said: "Ximen Qing, slaying the dragon and collaborating with the enemy and treason, but you are acting for the tiger and helping the evil to do evil. As a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, how can you let you survive in the world and continue to bring disaster to the country and the people. ”
Ximen Qing dodged the arrows and said loudly: "Even if we are guilty, you are neither an official nor a cottage, so what qualifications do you have to deal with." ”
A person came from the valley, it was Lord Song, the prefect of Huizhou, who replied loudly: "Ximen Qing, do I have this qualification?" ”
Ximen Qingyi was careless, an arrow was hit in the shoulder, looked at the prefect, and replied: "Lord Song, what if you are qualified." But don't forget, you were friends with us, and if my lord learns of your wickedness, he will take your head as a comfort to our spirits in heaven. ”
The prefect laughed loudly: "The dragon slaying is far away in the sky, you are close at hand, as long as there is no living mouth today, who knows." Even if the dragon slayer knew about it in the future, what could he do. As an official of the imperial court, I am in charge of one side, and I am afraid that a thief who collaborates with the enemy and treason will not succeed. Then he stretched out his palm and shouted arrogantly: "Shoot them all, and leave no one behind." ”
When the crossbowmen heard this, they attacked from far and near, and the arrows were like meteors.
The three or four men standing on the periphery were unable to dodge in time, so they turned into hedgehogs and lay on the ground, their mouths full of blood.
Ximen Qing, Gui Haiming, Ning Zhenan and others dodged and blocked, dodged a rain of arrows, ushered in a rain of arrows, dodged a rain of arrows, ushered in a rain of arrows...... No matter how good his skills are, there are times when he is negligent, and when he dodges, four or five more men are more or less shot by arrows, and their lives are in danger.
Gui Haiming was hit by two arrows in his body, and he felt that he was in a catastrophe, so he mustered up his courage and risked his death, and jumped towards the prefect Lord Song, thinking that a thief would capture the king first. But he forgot that the prefect started as a scholar, and since he dared to show up to meet him, he had already taken precautions.
Before Gui Haiming could fly out of the two feet, countless arrows merged in one place, turning into a sharp sword the size of a rice sieve and stabbing at his chest. In order to dodge this sharp sword, Gui Haiming stopped in the air, dodged, and was then blocked by another giant sword composed of arrows, with two more arrows on his body.
Suddenly, I heard someone next to me "ah", but I saw Zhu Siwu's left leg and left shoulder hit an arrow at the same time and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Ximen Qing was filled with righteous indignation and shouted: "Ning Zhen'an, capture the thief and capture the king first." ”
Ning Zhen'an was ordered, plucked and patted, and swept away the oncoming feather arrows one by one, without stopping at all, and rushed towards the prefect. As soon as he rushed to the prefect, he was about to jump over and grab the prefect with his grappling hand, but the prefect flashed back, and five or six crossbowmen threw away their bows and arrows, drew their swords and stepped forward, and slashed at him. Ning Zhenan swung his sword to block, only to find that these crossbowmen in military uniforms were all strong martial artists. In the face of the rain of arrows, whether he should continue to rush forward, Ning Zhenan couldn't make up his mind for a while, and was forced back by the bow and arrow in a daze.
The two rushed to the prefect, but both failed. When the heroes saw this, they were greatly disappointed, and the idea of survival was inadvertently weakened, so that the arrow gradually became a friend, lurking on them, unscrupulously drinking their blood, and cultivating feelings.
As the arrows shuttled back and forth, cursing, moaning, and shouting, with the gushing of blood, the symphony echoed, and soon turned into a lament, resounding through the valley and resonating for ten miles.
Ximen Qing glanced around, except for Gui Haiming, Ning Zhen'an, Yang Yunfeng, Liu Yunyu, Lu Lianhai, Luo Lingfeng, and Ling Guyan, the seven people had not yet laid down, and they tried their best to pick and slap the arrows from all sides, and the other companions had already fallen to the ground, and those who had no pain had already fallen asleep quietly in a pool of blood. Suddenly, the good and bad of the past came to my heart together, filled with grief and anger, and pearls rolled in my eyes, so far it was time to be sad. Seeing the dense arrows that kept shooting, he felt hopeless of escaping, and remembered the feat of Wujiang, the overlord of Western Chu, who killed himself, and unconsciously waved his sword and wiped it towards his neck.
"Senior brother, what are you doing here? Senior brother's revenge hasn't been avenged yet! When Gui Haiming opened the long sword in Ximen Qing's hand, he was shot in the back and left leg, and one of them fell to his knees.
Ximen Qing looked at the senior brother Gui Haiming who was kneeling on the ground, remembered that the senior brother cultivated Xinwu, woke up, waved his long sword in the air, and discarded all the arrows that came from it, just to survive. He firmly believes that his brother's spirit in the sky will definitely be able to protect him from today's calamity, keep his useful body, and help her find the enemy who plotted against her back then.
