Chapter 33: The Swordsman in Tsing Yi
Before leaving the city, Xiang Ye also asked Li Feng for a dagger, he did have a plan, if he met an enemy with good swordsmanship, it would naturally not be good to compete with the sword, and then he would hold the dagger in his hand and entangle with the other party with a sanda routine.
When the two of them went out of the city, Xiang Ye always felt as if someone was following him, but he turned around a few times and didn't see a single figure.
Thinking of the swordsmen who died inexplicably last time, he felt a chill all over his body, if the person who secretly killed those swordsmen was not a friend but an enemy, but he helped the wrong person when he started, this time he and Meng Su left Xingyang, and it would be extremely dangerous along the way.
After leaving Xingyang, the two walked all the way to the east, and walked for more than thirty miles, although Xiang Ye always felt that someone was following him, he never noticed anything unusual. Occasionally, there would be a few groups of civilians or merchants passing by on the road, but these people were all in a hurry, or they quickly caught up with them from behind, and then quickly disappeared in front of them; Or rush past them and quickly disappear at the end of the horizon behind them.
Xiang Ye couldn't think of a reason to suspect that these people would threaten them, so he had to shake his head self-deprecatingly and smile bitterly and continue on his way.
The sky gradually darkened, and the two of them felt a little tired after a day's journey. The location where they were at this time happened to be a barren mountain, and there was no place to go in front of the village or behind the store, and there was no place to stay.
"It seems that I can only find a secluded place to settle in the neighborhood today." Xiang Ye looked up at the remnants of Luoxia in the sky, exhaled a long breath and said, "I knew that I would have stopped and rested when I passed the village in front of me, but now it's good, I don't even have a place to live." ”
Meng Su glanced at him, and said angrily: "Fang Cai is that you don't want to settle in the village, you have to say that there will be a town in front of you, but where is the town?" If you can't find a place to stay today, you should not sleep all night, and be vigilant, so that no man or beast will attack us. ”
"Ugh!" Xiang Ye replied with a bitter face and looked around. The sky was getting darker, and he couldn't see the distant scenery at all, and he could only see a dark hill a hundred paces away.
"There's a hill over there, let's go there and find a place to stay." Xiang Ye pointed to the dark hillock in the distance, said something to Meng Su, raised his foot and was about to leave, but Meng Su let out a sneer behind him.
He stopped, looked back at Meng Su in confusion, and asked suspiciously, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"I laugh at you for being stupid!" Meng Su pursed his lips and said unceremoniously: "It's all dark and full of bushes, if we go in, I'm afraid that before we find a place to stay, the group of people behind us will rush in and kill us, I really admire you for coming up with such a bad idea!" ”
"Ugh!" Xiang Ye was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked behind him, and saw four black shadows appear on the road, and the short swords held by these four black shadows reflected a pale cyan luster under the illumination of the rising full moon.
Along the way, he felt that someone was following him, but he turned back many times, but he didn't see anyone. It was as if these people had appeared out of thin air.
"Didn't you feel it along the way?" Meng Su pressed his hand on the scabbard of the long sword and whispered to Xiang Ye: "They have been following us, but they have not taken the main road, and they have fallen far away, so you didn't see it." It seems that there will be a bloody battle today! ”
Several black shadows on the road were getting closer and closer, and Xiang Ye could already vaguely see the eyebrows and eyes of those people in the moonlight. It was a few good-looking men, and if it weren't for the short swords they were holding, he wouldn't have been able to tell that these people were the killers who had been following them.
"A few of you, you must be tired after following all the way." Meng Su turned her head and smiled kindly at the few people who were slowly approaching them, but when she spoke, her tone was not so kind: "Hiding your head and showing your tail along the way, I'm afraid it's not to protect us, a few people, please show the way, so that I can die more clearly." ”
The four people obviously didn't expect Meng Su to be so calm, after she spoke, Qi Qi was stunned, but they are also people who walk outside all the year round, and they are not so much to be suppressed by a little girl, one of the swordsmen who is slightly older than the others took two steps forward and smiled at Meng Su, clasped his fists and arched his hand and said: "After having this bearing and calmness worthy of being a famous general, I really don't want to kill you, but unfortunately I have to be sorry for people today because of their money and loyalty." ”
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as taking someone's money, right?" Meng Su sneered, drew out his long sword and pointed at the four people opposite and said, "There are many people who want my head, and I am afraid that you will not be able to take it away!" ”
Seeing her turn her face, Xiang Ye also hurriedly pulled out the long sword, he felt a cold sweat in the palm of the hand holding the long sword, and it was so slippery that he couldn't hold the hilt.
"Huh!" The other party sneered twice, did not answer Meng Su's words, but waved at the three people behind him and shouted: "Kill!" ”
With the word "kill" he shouted, the four swordsmen rushed towards Meng Su and Xiang Ye.
The corners of Mengsu's mouth tugged, and he leaned towards the four swordsmen. Xiang Ye hesitated for a moment, and finally rushed behind him.
Xiang Ye didn't understand swords, he didn't have the confidence to defeat the four swordsmen who rushed over, and he didn't even have the confidence to go through five rounds in their hands.
He reluctantly rushed towards the four swordsmen, and when he rushed out, he felt a chill in his neck, as if the opponent's sword had slashed through his throat, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
The four swordsmen also seemed to see that among the two Meng Xiang, Xiang Ye was relatively weak, and only one person was separated to face him, while the other three went all out to deal with Meng Su.
The swordsman who rushed towards Xiang Ye was very fast, and before Xiang Ye could understand, he had already jumped in front of Xiang Ye with his body in his body, and as soon as the two of them staggered, the short sword in the swordsman's hand cut out a blue light and slashed towards Xiang Ye's neck.
Xiang Ye wanted to dodge sideways, but the distance between the two sides was too close, even if he avoided this sword, as long as the opponent's arm was pushed forward a little bit, the short sword could still cut his throat.
Unable to avoid it, Xiang Ye put the long sword in his hand upward, and the sword body happened to stop in front of his neck, after the crisp sound of "choking" gold and iron, the long sword in Xiang Ye's hand shook violently, and he retreated several steps backwards with the sword.
Before he could gain a foothold, the swordsman pulled out a sword flower with his short sword and stabbed straight at his throat.
"Damn, I want Lao Tzu's life!" When the short sword stabbed over, Xiang Ye cursed secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to move slowly, and hurriedly turned his head to the side, avoiding the sword stabbed by the other party.
After this sword was stabbed, he was about to raise his hand and slash at the other party with the sword, but he didn't expect that although the opponent's sword momentum was old, the movements on his hand did not get old, only to see that after the swordsman stabbed the short sword into the air, the hand holding the sword suddenly bent his arm into an elbow and slammed into Xiang Ye's throat.
Xiang Ye was startled, and hurriedly leaned back, and the swordsman saw an elbow hit the air, kicked violently under his feet, and sent his elbow forward, still wanting to hit Xiang Ye's throat.
The swordsman didn't know that although Xiang Ye was not good at swordsmanship, he was born in Sanda, and his abandonment of using the short sword was exactly what Xiang Ye wanted.
When he elbowed forward, Xiang Ye tilted his head, one hand was facing up, which happened to be supported at the lower part of the swordsman's elbow, and the other hand was pulled from the bottom up, pulled into the swordsman's bent elbow, and pulled it violently. The swordsman didn't watch out for his move, and was immediately dragged forward by him, staggering a few steps and almost falling to the ground.
Before the swordsman could recover from this sudden change, Xiang Ye jumped up after him, slammed his feet on the ground, and flew up in the air.
When the swordsman heard the wind rising in the back of his head, he knew that Xiang Ye had attacked, so he hurriedly backhanded and thrust the short sword backwards, but he didn't expect this plug to be inserted, and the short sword stabbed under Xiang Ye who flew up in the air.
Due to the excessive force used to stab the short sword, the swordsman's body lost some balance slightly, and he was about to forcibly stop his steps and stabilize his body, but the back of his head was hit by a heavy object, and his eyes suddenly turned black and flew forward.
Xiang Ye's foot happened to step on the back of the swordsman's head, the back of the person's head was extremely fragile, even if the swordsman had a good martial arts, where could he eat his violent kick, and he had already fainted when he flew out.
After kicking the swordsman who was fighting alone with him, Xiang Ye was just about to rush towards Meng Su, but a sword hit his neck straight up.
He stopped in amazement and looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him with some puzzlement. This is another swordsman in addition to the four swordsmen who appeared before, different from the four swordsmen in white before, the swordsman in front of him is dressed in light cyan dark clothes, with a high bun on his head, and when the short sword is against Xiang Ye's neck, there is a harmless smile on the face of the swordsman in green clothes.
"Your martial arts are very good." The Tsing Yi swordsman nodded approvingly at Xiang Ye and said to him, "If I hadn't come in person with Guan Yijian, I'm afraid I would have really let you run away this time." ”
Xiang Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, the tip of the short sword in Guan Yijian's hand was only less than a centimeter away from his neck, he had no doubt that as long as his body moved slightly, the opponent's sword would immediately pierce his throat.
Although the three white-clothed swordsmen who were fighting with Meng Su not far away were superior in numbers, their sword momentum was light and swift, compared with Meng Su, who had a wide opening and closing sword moves, and was not domineering enough.
Seeing that Guan Yijian captured Xiang Ye, a white-clothed swordsman hurriedly left his companion and ran over to this side, running in front of the two, the white-clothed swordsman raised his foot and kicked Xiang Ye's leg, Xiang Ye's kicked leg was weak, and he half-knelt on the ground.
