Chapter Seventy-Nine: Forming an Alliance with Soochow (7)

"Cousin, do you know that my uncle and father were in Soochow that day, and they galloped together to test their swords and cut off the boulder?" Sun Deng's intention was flying, and the horse galloped back and forth. And he stepped off the fiery Liaodong horse and couldn't stop neighing and raising his front hooves. Jiangdong did not send horses, and Cao Wei had always refused to sell horses to Eastern Wu in order to enhance the strength of Eastern Wu. But Sun Quan is a horse lover, and the sentence he hates the most is that the northerners are still horses, and the southerners are still boats, so under his hands, there has always been an elite cavalry. In order to preserve the strength of this cavalry, he did not hesitate to rely on his big ship and go to Liaodong by sea to buy good horses, these horses are no worse than our Liangzhou horses, but the price is much higher. But in the future, they won't have to make such a big effort, and the trade between us will save them a lot of money on sea freight. After all, in this day and age, the risks of shipping are still extremely huge.

Sun Deng and I have left the White Emperor City for more than 30 miles, and we are in the mountains. This area is gently forested and inaccessible, making it suitable for hunting. In order to prevent accidents, I specially arranged for Pufa to "protect and take care" of Guan Feng, for fear that something would happen to her. For this willful and somewhat extreme sister with a different surname, I am heartbroken and worried, she has her own opinions, which is not something that others can easily change. But all this is caused by the environment, and she can't be blamed. So now I'm afraid that she will hurt others, and I'm afraid that others will hurt her, and I'm afraid that she will hurt herself. It's a big head. If the second uncle was here, a slap in the face could correct her problem, but now, who can explain her?

"Cousin, what are you thinking?" Sun Deng rushed over.

"No, no, no. Did you say that my uncle and father rode horses in Jiangdong to try their swords? Of course I know. At that time, you were only two or three years old, right? My uncle and father were heroes of a generation. In the world, except for Cao Cao, I admire the two of them the most. ”

"Cousin actually admires Cao Cao?"

"Yes, when it comes to eloquence, neither my father nor my uncle can match Cao Mengde. Of course, when it comes to loving the people and protecting the people, ten Cao Cao can't compare to my father. ”

"Yes, the heroes of the world, but Cao and Liu, it's a pity that the heroes are old, now in the world, who else is my father's opponent?" Sun Deng shook his head and sighed.

I heard him say that his father was old, so he straightened up on horseback and said, "The country has changed, and there are many heroes, isn't my cousin also a hero?" ”

"What a hero I'm at. cousin Dingyongliang Erzhou, that's what the hero did. However, although the younger brother is a southerner, he also likes to ride horses and shoot arrows since he was a child, I don't know what about my cousin? ”

The little thing, knowing that I am not good at martial arts, wants to make fun of me. I smiled and said, "Although I am not good at it, I don't dare to descend from here." ”

As he spoke, suddenly a muntjac jumped out of the woods. Sun Deng rushed out with a stab in his horse, and an arrow hit the muntjac in the back. The muntjac jumped up on the spot, slammed and fell.

I applauded and said, "Good archery." ”

Sun Deng handed me the bow: "Cousin, come and try it too." ”

I laughed and said, "I don't need this. So saying, he jumped off his horse and walked over to the muntjac. The muntjac was not lightly injured, and could not struggle on the ground, and his big eyes were full of tears, and he screamed miserably.

I took out a few silver needles from my bosom, stabbed them to relieve the pain, then gently cut the shaft of the arrow, removed the arrow, and applied medicine to stop the bleeding. It took a long time for the muntjac to get up, screamed twice, and shook away, but it was in the direction of the barracks. I laughed and said, "This stupid muntjac is actually stupidly injured, let go of it by the people behind you, don't hurt it." ”

Sun Deng shook his head and said, "My cousin is a disciple of the Medical Saint, and his medical skills are extraordinary, but it's a pity that his heart is too soft, right?" Moreover, it is too much to take my brother and my prey as favors. ”

I smiled and took out a piece of jade pendant from my waist and handed it to Sun Deng: "Cousin, your prey, how about I exchange this jade for it?" It's not the little brother's kindness. The muntjac was pregnant. ”

Sun Deng froze, and then handed the jade pendant back to me: "Cousin, you don't need to shoot your arrows, I am defeated." I heard that my brother said when he was young that he would like to study the heart of a doctor and cure the world's diseases, but today I know that this is true. ”

The two of us looked at each other and laughed, and we both felt like friends. So he simply put his entourage far away, found a piece of bluestone, and sat down to talk. Speaking of the characters in the south of the Yangtze River, the customs of the north, the livelihood of the people, the rice and wheat crops, the transportation and trade, the exchanges, the personal aspirations, the pursuit of dreams, I don't realize that it is getting late. The sound of the wind passed through the forest, and the sound of pine waves was like a wave. A chill soaked in, and Sun Deng and I got up and prepared to go back to the city.

Suddenly, I smelled a strange smell in the wind. I hurriedly said, "Cousin, don't move forward, beware of fierce beasts!" ”

Before the words fell, Sun Deng had already shot an arrow, and in the dense forest, something seemed to be enraged, and the trees trembled violently and shook, and suddenly a giant python flashed out in the forest. Chen Deng's second arrow shot again, hitting the python's chest, but the arrow bounced along its scale armor. When Chen Deng was shocked, the python disappeared.

I only felt a chill coming through my body, and the chill came quickly, and the cold penetrated my skin. I couldn't help but be shocked, I haven't had this kind of chill for a long time, and this kind of chill can only occur when facing a life-and-death situation.

Thinking about it, I put a whistle to my mouth and blew it violently. Then he pulled Sun Deng and fled back. Not far away, Hesse and the Lee brothers rushed over. Zhuge Ke and several commanders of the trouble-relieving soldiers also rushed over.

At this moment, the sound of rumbling around was endless, and countless poisonous snakes were crawling out.

I was horrified, I had never seen so many snakes in my life, and when I saw their long, twisting and winding bodies, and their pointed heads spitting fiery red letters, I felt every pore of sweat rise all over my body.

Although Sun Deng was born in Jiangnan, he had never seen so many snakes, and he only shot indiscriminately on the ground with arrows, and shot more than ten arrows in the blink of an eye, but there were too many snakes, which could have any effect.

I pulled Sun Deng and turned and walked away, joining the Hesses, but the snakes didn't seem to crawl fast, but they were in hot pursuit. There were already a few trails behind me that were within a few steps of me.

Hesse, a native of southern Xinjiang, knew what was important and shouted, "Your Highness, drop your clothes." ”

I threw the cloak away. At this moment, a snake flew up like an arrow, shot at the cloak, opened its mouth to bite, and shook its head again and again. When the cloak landed on the ground, several snakes were already biting on it. I was amazed, I didn't know what else to throw away, I was touching my waist, and suddenly my feet were mixed and I fell down.

As soon as I fell, Sun Deng also fell to the ground. A snake pounced. I drew my sword and slashed the serpent in two. The broken snake was in the ground, still not dead, constantly churning and twisting, and the snake's blood was splashed everywhere, fishy and cold.

Just then, another snake pounced. My long sword was outside, and I didn't have time to take it back, but I was startled, and a horned bow stretched out, and with a slash in the air, the snake flew away. But it's Sun Deng.

I nodded to him, and my heart warmed. At this time, the two of them faced the enemy at the same time, and they didn't care about the two countries and two families, grievances and hatreds, and they felt very uncomfortable between their bent on survival. At this moment, Sun Deng's face suddenly showed horror, and I turned around, and I was also shocked, but in the blink of an eye, I was already in the midst of the snakes, and I could no longer meet Hesse. The two of us were back to back, each holding a weapon and not moving for a while, just waiting for the snakes to pounce and kill a few.

Seeing the enclosed serpents facing the two of us, they raised their heads and were about to attack. Suddenly, there was a loud shout in the air, and a yellow mist fell from the sky, choking Sun Deng and I couldn't stop coughing. The snakes were even more like they had been struck, and they were in a mess, rolling backwards and climbing, entwining with each other, and becoming a mess. Then a man fell from the sky. Standing beside us, it was Hesse -- it turned out that when he saw that Sun Deng and I were surrounded, he asked the Lee brothers to put their hands on each other and threw him in mid-air.

He was born in southern Xinjiang, with snake medicine on his body, and when he spilled it, the snakes retreated.

Hesse stood by our side and shouted, "The wind is strong on the mountain, and my snake medicine can only be blocked for a while, and then it will be blown away, so hurry up and light the torches and burn these ghost things with fire." ”

The guards agreed, and a group of men went in search of torches, while another group swung their weapons and slashed at the snakes, approaching us. At this time, among the group of snakes, suddenly a pillar was erected, and it was the giant python that Sun Deng had shot at the beginning, and at this time, it seemed that its body was even more huge, with three feet long, and its three-pointed head was raised high, so that it could reach the height of a person, and its body swung back and forth to swim forward, and the snakes avoided it one after another, giving it a way.

Hesse also bent down and looked at the snake with a little nervousness: "Wang Python! ”

"Wang Mang?" I was shocked to say that it was the name of the traitor who took away my Western Han River and established a new dynasty. But then I understood that this python was called the king python, and I remembered the legend of the Yiren that Hesse had told me, this kind of king python is the king of pythons, a different species of dragons, and can control a hundred snakes, which is extremely terrifying. Why was we so unlucky?

Before he had time to think about it, the python opened its mouth and pounced on Hesse, Hesse's body was like electricity, and he retreated to avoid it, and the spear in his hand shook and stabbed into the mouth of the python. This move is the killing move of his eight formations, one shot is stabbed, and he is unstoppable, I have seen him use this move to pierce a big tree. And the gun in his hand was also made by Seiko, extremely sharp, and a shot pierced the throat of the king python and pierced through the back of the neck. In an instant, blood splattered. Sun Deng and I cheered in unison.

But the python's vitality is extremely strong, if it were other animals, this shot would have killed it, but this python actually let out a long howl, its body was disced, and the huge force was sharp, and it suddenly entangled Hesse, but in an instant, Hesse's face was already pale, and he could no longer hold the spear, and he saw blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth. The power of the python is so great that it can strangle human bones alive and then devour them whole.

Seeing the crisis, Sun Deng threw his bow aside, jumped up, grabbed the spear, and pulled it back, and the giant python roared again, and its body rose rapidly, rising more than five feet high, and blood splashed like rain. Sun Deng was thrown out of the house with a gun. The python was lying sideways in front of me. I screamed, raised my sword, and slashed downward, right behind the python's neck. The giant python's body was covered with thick scales, and Sun Deng couldn't hurt it with an arrow. However, my sword is the work of Pu Yuan, the world's first sword-casting master, and this sword goes down, cutting through the heavy scale armor and cutting straight into more than two inches deep.

The python was so badly injured that it raised its head violently, and a huge force struck, but I was even hit by its flesh with a sword. But Wang Python hurt more and more pain this time, hurt and injured, went crazy, let go of Hesse, and pounced on me. Hesse fell to the ground like a sack of rice, unable to struggle. I was so shocked that my arms were sore, I could barely hold my sword, and I hurriedly took two steps back. But when I saw the python pounce down again, the sword in my hand was raised, and it pierced the roof of the python. The sword was so sharp that it was like inserting a piece of tofu into the flesh, and my hands were all in the python's mouth. The blood in the python's mouth stained my hand. The python went berserk and bit down so violently that I let go of the hilt of my sword, turned and fled. It bit the sword between its upper and lower palate, and it came out of its head. But it was still not dead, and its body rolled on the ground, until the stones flew away.

I only escaped a few steps, and then I saw a huge pillar smashed straight down, but it was a giant tail of the king python, seeing that I was about to be beaten by it and the bones and tendons were broken, suddenly I shouted, Sun Deng horizontal gun in front of me.

The giant tail smashed on the gun, and Sun Deng spurted out a mouthful of blood.
