Chapter 44: Try the Sword with You

Xiang Qing and the young man with her rushed towards the city gate without looking back, and the soldiers guarding the city gate saw two men with short swords rushing from the city, and hurriedly raised their spears to make a defensive posture.

Xiang Qing and the young man ignored the soldiers, rushed out of the city gate, and rushed towards the wilderness outside the city.

"Quick! Close the gates! When the officer defending the city saw the two of them rushing out of the city, and saw that there were people chasing after them, he knew that something must be wrong in the city, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to close the door, trying to stop the people behind to find out what was going on.

As soon as his order came out, the white-clothed swordsman who was following Xiang Qing and them had also arrived, and their bodies rushed out of the city in a flash.

Seeing that there was another person rushing out, the soldiers defending the city hurriedly closed the city gate, and set up a defensive formation in the direction that Xiang Qing and the others rushed out with their spears.

Soon Guan Yijian also rushed towards the city gate with a short sword in his hand, and when he saw that the city gate had been closed, his eyes narrowed slightly, avoiding the soldiers who were doing a good job of defense, and rushed towards the city wall.

The officers and soldiers defending the city did not expect him to run towards the city wall, and immediately made a mess, and the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the city wall heard the noise from below the city and hurriedly ran towards the steps of the city wall.

Before the officers and soldiers on the city wall ran to the stairs, Guan Yijian had already rushed up, and after going up the city wall, he didn't delay much, grabbed the soldiers who were running in front, jumped down the battlements and jumped down the city.

The soldier who was grabbed by Guan Yijian screamed and fell down the city, while Guan Yijian pressed him hard, pressed him under him, and fell down the city wall with him.

"Peng!" After a muffled sound, Guan Yijian and the soldier fell to the ground and stirred up a puff of smoke and dust, and the soldier was smashed and almost became a piece of meatloaf, while Guan Yijian was not too seriously injured because someone was making a meat pad underneath, but his left arm was broken.

"Shoot him!" When the officer in charge of guarding the city saw Guan Yijian pulling his soldiers to make meat pads, he was furious and immediately gave the order to shoot Guan Yijian.

The archers on the city wall hurriedly opened their bows and arrows and shot at Guan Yijian under the city.

Guan Yijian faced the city wall, quickly retreated, and a rain of arrows overwhelmingly pressed down on him, and the short sword in his hand was like a fan blade, and all the arrows that were fired at him were thrown aside.

When the archers in the city opened their bowstrings again to fire at him a second time, he was out of range of their arrows.

Out of the range of the bow and arrows, Guan Yijian turned around and chased after Xiang Qing and the others who had become three small dots in the distance.

Xiang Qing is a woman after all, although her actions are not much worse than men, but after all, she is not long enough and explosive, and after running for several miles, she gradually falls behind the young people who are with her.

The young man turned his head to look at Xiang Qing, who was left behind, and asked worriedly, "County Lord, are you unable to run?" ”

Xiang Qing is so strong, where can she listen to such words, she glared at the young man and shouted: "Xiang Tong, you don't care about me, you run quickly, I will cut you off." ”

Xiang Tong was originally a partial general under Xiang Yu, and this time he was ordered by Xiang Liang to come to Changyuan with Xiang Qing to arrange the eyeliner joint with the Chu army in Changyuan.

The task has been completed, and they were going to set off to return to Chu after eating, but they didn't expect to meet Guan Yijian in the pavilion, not only were all the entourage killed, but they were also chased all the way by the other party.

As a member of the Xiang clan and a partial general of the Chu army, Xiang Tong was willing to leave Xiang Qing and flee alone, after Xiang Qing Dynasty drank heavily, he not only did not continue to run forward, but stopped, turned around and rushed towards the white-clothed swordsman who caught up.

"County Lord, I'll stop them, you run away! Don't forget to avenge me in the future! When he crossed his shoulders with Xiang Qing, Xiang Tong smiled at her, and rushed towards the white-clothed swordsman with his sword.

He wasn't worried about the white-clothed swordsman who was following behind, what really worried him was Guan Yijian, who fell far behind and was wearing a dark cyan robe. He had already seen Guan Yijian's swordsmanship, and he thought to himself that if he was against him, he would never survive three rounds, and when he turned back again, he was ready to die.

Seeing Xiang Tong turn around, Xiang Qing stomped his feet and secretly felt annoyed, and also turned around and rushed towards the white-clothed swordsman.

The white-clothed swordsman didn't expect the two to suddenly turn around, and was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his short sword towards Xiang Tong.

When the two of them were three or five steps away, Xiang Tong suddenly rolled forward, and the short sword in his hand stabbed straight towards the lower abdomen of the white-clothed swordsman.

The white-clothed swordsman saw a short sword stabbing into his lower abdomen, and quickly twisted his body and spun on the spot to avoid the sword.

After dodging the sword stabbed by Xiang Tong, the short sword in the white-clothed swordsman's hand slashed diagonally towards Xiang Tong's neck.

Xiang Tong hurriedly put the short sword across his head, blocking the sword slashed by the white-clothed swordsman, and then pushed the sword forward and slashed it towards the white-clothed swordsman's wrist.

The white-clothed swordsman flipped his wrist, and the short sword turned three hundred and sixty degrees, dissolving the sword that Xiang Tong stabbed.

At this moment, Xiang Qing had already rushed to the two of them, and after she rushed up, she stabbed a sword at the neck of the white-clothed swordsman without any delay.

The white-clothed swordsman hurriedly raised his sword to block the sword stabbed by Xiang Qing, his arm was just raised, and his lower abdomen suddenly hurt, and he hurriedly lowered his head to look at his abdomen, only to see that the short sword held in Xiang Tong's hand had pierced into his abdomen, and blood was flowing out along the short sword.

Before he could recover from the pain in his lower abdomen, there was another cool pain in his neck, and then he saw his neck gushing blood like a fountain, and the scene in front of him spun rapidly, and when he felt himself fall heavily to the ground, everything in front of him was gradually replaced by darkness.

After killing the white-clothed swordsman, Xiang Qing and Xiang Tong put away their swords and prepared to continue to flee forward, but they stopped as soon as they ran two or three steps.

Guan Yijian, who had one arm hanging softly at his side, was standing six or seven steps in front of them, looking at them with a playful smile on his face, and when they stopped, Guan Yijian tilted his chin slightly towards them and said, "Run, keep running!" You two have good swordsmanship, and you have a great job of escaping, so I'd like to see how long you can run!" ”

"County Lord, you go first!" Xiang Tong saw Guan Yijian blocking in front of him, knowing that he must be unlucky this time, he shouted at Xiang Qing, and rushed towards Guan Yijian with his sword.

"I heard that the back door will be tighter after people run wildly, I want you to run!" Seeing Xiang Tong rushing towards him, Guan Yijian pursed his lips in some disappointment, drew an arc on his chest with a short sword in his right hand, and shouted at Xiang Tong: "But with him, you can die!" ”

As soon as his words fell, suddenly a voice came from not far from the side: "Hehe, Guan Yijian, I haven't seen you for a long time, who do you fall in love with?" ”

After this voice came, Guan Yijian, Xiang Qing, and Xiang Tong were all stunned. The servants stopped at the same time, and the three pairs of eyes looked in unison at the place where the sound came from.

The two white-clothed young men pressed their long swords and walked towards this side unhurriedly, and when Xiang Qing saw the face of the young man walking in front of him, he was taken aback, and the boss with his mouth open didn't say anything for a long time.

"Hehe, Miss Meng, Brother Xiang Ye, I haven't seen each other for more than ten days." Guan Yijian saw the two people coming over, and his face was suddenly full of smiles, and the smile was like a mosquito that had been hungry for a long time and suddenly saw blood, full of greed: "I was worried that I couldn't find you, but I didn't expect you to send it to the door by yourself, hehe, it seems that this wealth should be mine, and I can't hide it!" ”

Xiang Ye shook his head and smiled bitterly, he and Meng Su went all the way east after separating from Gai Nie, originally planning to rush to the Jiangdong Xiang clan's military camp to hand over Meng Su to them, but he didn't expect to bump into Guan Yijian here, who was bullying others with his superb swordsmanship.

Ten days ago, the two of them suffered a lot from Guan Yijian, and at this time, they were still a little apprehensive when they saw him, but according to Xiang Ye's temperament, seeing that Guan Yijian was bullying two people who were completely impossible to defeat him, how could Xiang Ye, who had already improved his swordsmanship after learning the "Longxiang Swordsmanship", stand by and watch?

So there is this scene of polite dialogue like an old friend meeting.

After walking to a place more than ten steps away from Guan Yijian, Xiang Ye and Meng Su stopped, Xiang Ye said to Guan Yijian with a haha: "I said Guan Yijian, there is a sentence you must not have heard, this sentence only became popular after hundreds of years, but today I can teach you in advance, that is, 'Shibei three days, you must be impressed', if you don't understand this truth, it will be very dangerous to walk in the world." ”

"Oh?" Guan Yijian pretended to be very surprised, looked at Xiang Ye from head to toe and said, "You and I have been separated for more than ten days, Guan Mou really didn't see any difference between you, and I ask you to give me advice!" ”

"I'm here to teach you!" Xiang Ye pursed his lips and said unceremoniously: "In the past ten days, I accidentally remembered a set of swordsmanship, practiced casually, and felt that I could beat you, and I was looking for you to try the sword, but I didn't expect to really let me bump into it!" ”

"Good! All right! Guan Yijian's right hand holding the short sword trembled slightly because of excitement, and his voice became a little trembling: "I want to see what swordsmanship you have learned, you can defeat me after only practicing for more than ten days!" ”

Xiang Ye pouted, raised a finger and shook it in front of his nose, and said to Guan Yijian: "Wrong, you are wrong, I didn't practice for more than ten days, but only for three days, but three days should be enough!" ”

When Guan Yijian heard him speak so arrogantly, not only was he not annoyed, but laughed and said to him: "Then come on, I can't wait!" ”

Xiang Ye didn't speak again, but slowly pulled out the long sword hanging from his waist, and after pulling out the long sword, he put on a seemingly very simple shape at an extremely slow speed, which was the starting style of the "Xianglong Sword Technique".
