Chapter 41: Live hard
The location where the Seven Princes and the others are now is at the five-way intersection above Qingshi Street, and the only way to reach the Lanshan Sect is through these five roads, or four of them.
The remote fork in the road where Beihe was located could only lead to his residence, so it was not in the consideration of these Fengguo Iron Riders at all.
Now he came out halfway and appeared in front of the eyes of the Seven Princes of Fengguo and others, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Bei He's heart beat faster, because he saw his enemy, the Seventh Prince, and also saw Yan Jun dressed as a eunuch, and even saw five old men with solemn expressions, lined up behind the Seventh Prince, just from a kind of intuition, he could judge that these five people were all Void Realm martial artists.
Not only that, but there were also seven artillery pieces, neatly arranged behind these people, with their muzzles aimed at the top of the hill, ready to fire at any time.
Beihe suppressed the shock in his heart, and after the front hooves of the war horse landed, he looked at the Seven Princes and the others and nodded, and then rushed towards the top of the mountain with a clamp on the horse's back.
Seeing his back disappear, the Seven Princes and the others retracted their gaze without waves, continued to look in the direction of the top of the mountain, and turned a blind eye to Beihe.
This is because Beihe changed into the armor of the Fengguo cavalry before, and he wore a helmet on his head, revealing only one face. He deliberately smeared some blood on his face so that people couldn't see his true face.
Because of this, after the Seven Princes and others saw him before, they just took a look at him and did not suspect his identity, so they thought that he was a member of the Fengguo cavalry.
I saw Beihe holding torches and galloping towards the top of the mountain. Along the way, he could encounter a lot of Zhou Guotie cavalry slaughtering many disciples of the Lanshan Sect, and while he was angry in his heart, he continued to rush towards the sect master's dormitory.
"Appeal ......"
Just as Beihe passed the intersection of a stone-paved path, he stopped, pulled back his horse and took a few steps back.
I saw the body of a young girl lying on the edge of the path. The girl had a bloody hole in her chest, and her eyes were full of panic and fear before she died. He recognized this woman as Xiaoqing, Mr. Zhang's maid.
The girl who loved to laugh, and was sometimes restrained and sometimes bold, left a very deep impression on Beihe. It's just that the lively Xiaoqing at the beginning is now lying on the cold road and has become an equally cold corpse.
Beihe glanced at Xiaoqing on the ground, at this time, his gaze was unprecedentedly cold, and his face was bloody, and his appearance made people dare not look directly.
"Drive!"
The next moment, Beihe turned his horse's head and continued to rush towards the top of the mountain.
Next, he saw these iron horsemen of Fengguo, who captured the dining room, the library pavilion, the martial arts training ground, and even the cool room were all ignited by a fire.
When Beihe passed by the intersection of the Criminal Law Hall, he saw Zhao Tianji, the master of the Criminal Law Hall, holding a Zhangba snake spear, wielding more than 30 Fengguo cavalry who were besieging him, from the horseback one by one, even if there were many people, these Fengguo cavalry were also afraid of Zhao Tianji, and could not get any benefits, and in the end, no one dared to approach, so they could only use their sleeve arrows to contain this person from a long distance, just waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
This scene suddenly reminded Beihe of the scene when Lu Hou, who was also a warrior in the Void Realm, was besieged by these Fengguo cavalry.
It didn't take long for Beihe to finally come to the outside of the dormitory of the sect master on the top of the Lanshan Sect, but more than two hundred iron horsemen had already arrived here one step ahead of him, and in the huge square, the disciples of the Lanshan Sect fought with these Fengguo cavalry.
Unlike the scene he saw at the foot of the mountain, the backbone of the Lanshan Sect gathered here, most of them were Qi Realm martial artists, so under the fight between the two sides, the Fengguo Iron Cavalry did not take advantage. In particular, this square is quite narrow for war horses, and the Fengguo cavalry cannot form a charging tactic, let alone arrange troops, so both sides have casualties.
"Boom!"
Just as Beihe saw this scene, a deafening loud bang came from the bottom of the mountain behind him.
In just this moment, he understood that the Seven Princes below had begun to use artillery, which should be used against the Void Realm Elders of the Lanshan Sect.
In addition to Jiang Muyuan and Zhao Tianji, there is also an Elder Wang and Elder Li, whose residences are on the north and south sides of the Lanshan Sect, and these two people should also be under siege now.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
Next, the continuous sound of artillery continued to be heard from the bottom of the mountain.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, when the Fengguo cavalry washed the Lanshan Sect in blood, God may have sensed the injustice, and at this moment, the dark clouds condensed in the rumbling sound, and lightning and thunder began to roar, and in an instant, a heavy rain that had not been encountered in several years poured down.
In the blink of an eye, the blood on the ground mixed with the rain and spread out, forming blood-colored streams.
Bei He's eyes swept around, and he saw several familiar figures on the battlefield, some of these were Jiang Muyuan's disciples, and some were deacons of the Lanshan Sect. At this moment, in the face of foreign enemies, these people belonging to the Lanshan Sect were all baring their teeth and red-eyed.
Beihe chose the right moment, chose a gap and rode his horse towards the main hall in front of him.
Because of the superiority of the Fengguo cavalry, and the fact that these people regarded him as their own, he was not hindered along the way, and in a moment he came to the gate of the main hall. Then he turned and dismounted, and rushed into the main hall.
"Huh!"
A silver heavy sword suddenly slashed at his chest.
Beihe didn't want to put the long stick in his hand in front of him.
"Boom!"
After blocking the blow, Beihe took three steps back before he stood firm, and then he saw a man in the darkness still wielding a knife.
"Senior Brother Zhang, I'm Beihe. ”
Beihe recognized the identity of the other party at a glance from this person's silhouette, and hurriedly said.
"Huh?"
Secretly, the man was extremely surprised, he didn't expect that this person wearing the armor of the Fengguo cavalry was actually Beihe, but from the voice, he still judged that the other party was not lying.
"Sect Master!" Beihe didn't explain, looking at this person.
"The suzerain is in the inner sanctum. ”
Hearing this, Beihe did not hesitate, took off his helmet and put it under his armpit, and immediately rushed towards the inner hall.
After a short time, when he came to the inner sanctum, he saw that there were many people here.
Among them, sitting on the high seat was Jiang Muyuan, who was full of white hair.
In addition to this Arashiyama Sect Master, there were two middle-aged men, a middle-aged woman, and two young girls below him.
Needless to say, those two girls are also Leng Wanwan and Jiang Qing. As for the two middle-aged men, they are Jiang Muyuan's sons, and the middle-aged woman is his daughter-in-law and Jiang Qing's mother.
Beihe, who took off his helmet, although his face was covered with blood, everyone still recognized him at a glance.
As soon as Fang appeared, Beihe looked at Jiang Muyuan and said, "Sect Master, the people of the Fengguo royal family are here, if you don't leave at this time, you will wait for a while." ”
Hearing his words, Jiang Muyuan didn't speak for a while, but looked at the two middle-aged men below, and said, "Just do what you just said, the Lanshan Sect is destroyed in my hands, and I don't have the face to live anymore, the old man and the Lanshan Sect live and die together, you go through the secret passage in the back mountain." ”
"Father...... Father ......"
"Father-in-law......"
"Grandpa......"
The two middle-aged men and Jiang Qing's two daughters were full of shock when they looked at Jiang Muyuan, and tears appeared in the latter's beautiful eyes.
"A handful of old bones can't live for a few years, and the old man would rather die hard than live a miserable life. No one is allowed to disobey the order, let me go!"
At the end of the words, Jiang Muyuan slapped the armrest and shouted loudly, this previously amiable sect master showed unprecedented strictness.
Not only that, but at the stroke of his hand, a wave of qi erupted from him, blowing his robe and beard hair at the same time.
Seeing this scene, Bei He remembered that this hundred-year-old sect master was a veritable Void Realm martial artist, not a kind old man, and no one knew his depth.
But in the face of the majestic Jiang Muyuan, everyone is still difficult to choose.
Until the end, the eldest of the two middle-aged men gritted his teeth and finally made a decision. I saw that this person immediately knelt in front of Jiang Muyuan and kowtowed three times.
"If there is an afterlife, be your son. ”
"Let's go!"
After kneeling, the man stood up, looked at the others, and let out a low roar.
However, everyone was unmoved, but watched Jiang Muyuan's tears roll down, and finally all knelt down one by one, kowtowed three times each, and then got up.
Jiang Qing and Leng Wanwan, dragged by the two middle-aged men, fled together in the direction of the apse.
"Sect Master!"
Beihe looked at Jiang Muyuan, and his heart shook to the extreme.
Jiang Muyuan looked at him with burning eyes, and didn't speak for a while, before he heard him speak: "Beihe, if you have the opportunity to avenge your master and junior brother in the future, you will avenge the old man and many fellow disciples of the Lanshan Sect by the way." ”
"Sect Master!"
A gleam appeared in Beihe's eyes. Jiang Muyuan treated him like a mountain, and when he saw the tragedy of this old sect master, he was speechless and choked.
"You go too!" only listened to Jiang Muyuan.
After saying that, he got up, came to a shelf, took down a simple three-foot long sword, and then with a "bang", he pulled out the white blade and pointed obliquely to the ground, and the scabbard was thrown on the ground at will, and walked towards the outside of the main hall.
At this moment, Jiang Muyuan's appearance in the past was gone, and his slightly rickety figure was unprecedentedly tall.
Looking at Jiang Muyuan's bleak back, Beihe also knelt down and kowtowed. And when he got up, Jiang Muyuan had disappeared from his sight.
Beihe took a deep breath and got up and rushed to the apse.
