Chapter 240: No One Survives (I)
"This is the army of the imperial court?"
Liu Changchun felt the murderous aura on his face and looked suspicious, this momentum was by no means comparable to the recklessness of the rivers and lakes before, but the unified standard equipment had never appeared in his impression, which was really a little strange.
Come closer,
Standing on the city tower and looking down, the leader was Kong Wuzi, who was holding an iron halberd and carrying a cool knife at his waist, and a scar extended from his eyebrows and eyes to the corners of his mouth, which looked extremely hideous, and the ferocious atmosphere made people shudder.
"Dare to ask who the general is?"
On the tower of the city,
Liu Changchun shouted.
Li Zhutou, who had just rushed back beside him, was even weaker in his legs.
"The general soldier of the third town of Liangzhou, Zhu Yuankui!"
The man raised the tiger talisman in his hand,
Shine in the morning sun,
"Open the gates!"
Liu Changchun saw the tiger talisman and walked down from the city tower quickly, the fierce man in armor was blocking the city gate, and at the same time, the hundreds of Qianrui soldiers had already drawn out the wide mouth and broad sword on their waists.
The imperial court has always been famous for its iron horses,
And now there are such elite foot soldiers silently?
"You're not leaving?"
Zhu Yuankui looked at the soldiers at the city gate with a somewhat surprised expression, he and the others followed His Highness to level the Lingyin Temple and then went directly to the capital of Xunyang County, waiting for His Highness's order, the intelligence sent by the spy department in the past few days also knew that the current Qingcheng can be described as a mixture of fish and dragons, and the people in the city are ten rooms and nine empty, but they didn't expect that all the officials are not bad now.
"Returning to the generals, for the county commander, coexist with the city!"
Liu Changchun took a step forward and saluted.
"Good!"
"It's a good place to live with the city!"
Zhu Yuankui looked at the middle-aged man in front of him seriously, like an impermanent official
"This is the duty of an official!"
Liu Changchun's face remained unchanged.
"Okay, this battle will not die. ”
"Ben will definitely make a credit for you in His Highness!"
"Thanks, General!"
Liu Changchun saluted again.
"Can you make a knife?"
"No, it won't. ”
"Do you dare to kill?"
"Dare!"
"Okay, this was built by the Liangzhou craftsman workshop back then, and it was handed down to only a few hundred, and now I will borrow it from you, and I will return it to the general after the war!"
Zhu Yuankui untied the old-fashioned cold knife from the corner of his eye,
Thrown into the hands of Liu Changchun.
"Remember, this cool knife will drink blood when it comes out of its sheath, and when the time comes, cut off the heads of two more anti-thieves, don't fall into its prestige!"
"No!"
Liu Changchun clenched the old-fashioned cool knife in his hand,
Feeling the forest cold above, he nodded very solemnly.
"This is the East Gate?"
"Exactly!"
"The east city gate is the main city gate of Qingcheng County, such as Shangjing, the largest city in the world has twelve city gates, the city gate of the big city in the world is not less than eight, the county town is usually six city gates, and the city citizens of Qingcheng County are not more than a thousand households, and the city gate is only four in the southeast and northwest. ”
"And outside this east gate is the nearest city gate near Qingcheng Mountain, and if there is an accident, it is also the first exit considered by the thief, after all, people in the flat land can't outrun the horse after all, and the mountains and forests are very different, so Xia Guan has been waiting here. ”
Liu Changchun explained.
"Well, Ben will be stationed at the east gate. ”
"I still have half an hour to arrive, and now I am waiting to come in advance, but the iron horse is too loud for fear that the thief will flee when he hears the sound, and someone needs to intercept the thief from the city. ”
Zhu Yuankui's right hand was raised.
The big Qianrui behind him is divided into four columns,
Two hundred men in each column went to the other three gates.
"You and the literati go to the West Gate, there is less pressure over there!"
"Remember, don't die!"
After Zhu Yuankui finished speaking, Dama Jindao sat in the city cave,
The gates of the city slowly closed,
Sixty great warriors were divided into three columns,
The thick oars embedded in cowhide slammed on the ground, forming three extremely tough human walls, the cold armor rattled, and the remaining forty people were recuperating for the reserves, wiping the broad-mouthed broadsword and fine iron dagger in their hands.
On the top of the castle tower, there are a hundred sharp soldiers standing on the battlements, adjusting the iron-tired hard bow in their hands, and rows of sharp arrows are piled up on the masonry, and there is a cold light circulating on the arrow cluster.
Thirty miles away,
The earth trembled,
The surging iron riders came like a torrent of steel,
Birds and beasts scattered everywhere they passed,
The attention of everyone in the city was attracted by the old immortals of Wudang Mountain, and the hundreds of great Qianrui soldiers had already turned over and dismounted and walked over before they approached the city, and there was not much movement.
What's more, Feng Manlou, the largest intelligence organization in the rivers and lakes, has been infiltrated into a sieve by the Liangzhou Espionage Division, and the landlord is also too busy to take care of himself, where is there any effort to manage this gang of rivers and lakes.
......
Yuelai Inn,
Private room on the second floor,
All eyes fell on the old Taoist priest of the immortal wind and Dao bones, the old immortal at the peak of the second grade of Wudang Mountain, the person with the highest ranking in Taoism in the world, and the master of Wudang Mountain, one of the three mountains in the world, a series of names made people dizzy......
Qin Mengfan rubbed his eyes and looked at Yuan Chongdao in front of him in disbelief, when he went up the mountain, he had also seen it from a long distance, and now such a big man who was in the sky was indeed sitting in front of him kindly, which was really a little unreal.
When he looked at the young man, he felt that the relationship between the two was not as simple as he said yesterday, and he was afraid that his father-in-law would be even more difficult to be, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but put a wry smile on his lips.
Even the little girl in the red jacket was also very restrained and stood aside, restraining her usual naughty temperament, Qin Keqing opened her mouth even more, pointing at the handsome little Taoist priest in front of her and couldn't speak.
"Dare to ask, when will the Yuan Senior Martial Arts Conference be held?"
The attitude of the Sect Master of Guiyun Sect at this moment was also extremely low and respectful, but when he lowered his head, his eyes were indeed inexplicably a little complicated.
The ring has been set up in the open space below the Yuelai Inn last night, since it is a martial arts conference, there is naturally a process of martial arts competition in it, although it has now become a rebel conference, it is just that the leader of the martial arts alliance has become a rebel leader and the leader of the uprising.
In any case, there must be a person in charge,
After the first battle of Qingxia, the rivers and lakes did not have too much vitality, the fall of Zhenwu Mountain, it was a beginning, followed by the surrender of Longhu Mountain, half a month ago, the imperial court sent troops to level the Lingyin Temple, and now the rivers and lakes are more than half smaller than in the past, but together they are also a force that should not be underestimated, as the first sect master of the seven sects, naturally also wants to get a piece of the pie.
"Wait a little longer!"
"I'm the first to be famous, and my heart is a little worse. ”
"Now it's hard to give a big show to the master, and it's worth waiting for a while, and it won't disappoint everyone here. ”
Yuan Chongdao smiled gently.
"That's according to the old fairy's meaning. ”
After finishing speaking, the man gave up his hand and retreated, but he had gradually doubts in his heart, and looked up at the smiling little Taoist priest, and for some reason his right eyelid suddenly jumped.
Wrong!
A moment later,
Several of the first sons with excellent light skills under the door silently disappeared into the inn, and went to the city gates respectively, and the flower thief who had been sleeping on the eaves opposite the inn also quietly left.
"Yawn ......"
"His grandmother's, why is she always restless today......
Someone yawned sleepily at the sky.
Cultivation has reached a certain level, the six senses are far better than ordinary people, and there is a faint premonition of good and evil, that is, there is also a saying in the market that "the left eye jumps wealth, and the right eye jumps off the cliff", not to mention the people in the practice.
The movement of the army besieging the city is categorically hidden from the master's perception, that is, the sound of horses' hooves can be felt ten miles away from the slight vibration of the ground, so most people still don't care, but are looking forward to making a name for themselves at today's martial arts conference.
In the box,
"Sit back and relax. ”
"There's a good show later!"
The young man leaned against the wooden fence and said leisurely.
"You're not a Taoist?"
After a while,
Qin Keqing said abruptly.
"Hmm!"
The young man nodded.
"Xu Xian, Xu Xian, you won't be that person, right......?"
Qin Keqing suddenly thought of something and asked softly.
The young man did not answer, but raised his head and poured a mouthful of bamboo leaves to himself, his eyes moved down, and the storyteller at the bottom has now changed places, sitting under the ring, spitting about all kinds of injustices in the court, and listening to the righteous indignation of everyone below.
"If you really enter the capital, old man, what kind of official can you say the master can be mixed with?"
When the hearing arises,
The young master of the Bloody Cloak Building raised his eyebrows.
"This ......"
The interested storyteller who was talking was suddenly interrupted, and he was also stunned, it doesn't matter, there are more and more people who are coaxing at the bottom, after all, who rebelled, didn't go to glory and wealth?
It's also great to listen to it now and get a good mouthpiece.
"Damn, old man, can you also tell me what kind of official the uncle is?"
"Old man, too, said to me, said. ”
"When you carry your head and sell your life, you can count on a thought. ”
The storyteller has all kinds of rumors in the rivers and lakes on weekdays, even those influential figures can also comment on them, but he really doesn't know much about this court official title, and the bit of ink in his stomach is hollowed out, and he can't deal with so many people below, and he froze for a while.
......
meanwhile
For the sect master surnamed Zhang of the Guiyun Sect in the bread box, after listening to the report of the first son, his face turned pale instantly, the teacup in his hand had turned into pieces, and the hot tea flowed in his hand, which was red.
"Get out of the city, get out of the city right away!"
"I can't delay a breath!"
The Guiyun Sect Master secretly thought to himself, without the slightest hesitation, the moment he got up, a pure internal force poured out, and several of the first sons who had just come back from spying on the information beside him collapsed to the ground silently.
Jumping from the back window,
The martial arts conference is a bureau,
The whole process did not alarm anyone,
You must know that in the box opposite you is the person who laid out,
People are noisy and easy to expose,
Why don't you sneak away before the storm comes.
......
The young man abruptly looked back at the bread box and smiled, sneered, and did not stop it, from the time he entered the city, it was already too late to escape.
Naturally, there is more than one person with this thought,
He is used to being a bandit on weekdays,
The same is true of the extremely alert Qingyun Zhai's second master,
Earlier, he was sent out by the big boss to step on the point personally,
At this moment, looking at the east gate, the big Qianrui who had been neatly arranged only felt a little weak under his feet, and forcibly calmed down, so he had to do the opposite, turned his head and went to the west gate.
On the way to the west gate, he met the Guiyun Sect Master who was in a hurry, and he was no longer majestic on the weekdays, and after the man saw the direction he was running, he actually paused and followed him.
"It's not good, the old puppet misunderstood me!"
The second master of Qingyun Village is in a state of flux, and now it is a good luck to sneak away, and it has nothing to do with cultivation, and multiple people are in danger of being discovered.
"Sect Master Zhang, there is an ambush at the east gate, follow me out of the city at the west gate!"
The second master of Qingyun Village shouted in his mouth, his pace slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, pretending to be exhausted of internal strength, and fell behind the Guiyun Sect Master.
"Humph!"
But the Guiyun Sect Master had just surpassed the second master of the Guiyun Village, so he paused, his eyes wandered, and after thinking for a moment, he turned around and went to the east gate without the slightest stop.
"Damn it, old fox!"
"I use Lao Tzu as a gunman on weekdays,"
"I'll give you a taste of it today!"
The second master of Qingyun Village snorted lightly and went to the west gate without looking back, walking the rivers and lakes are full of pits, many times those old rivers and lakes always feel that they are smarter, but they don't know that often smart people die the earliest.
......
Under the Yuelai Inn,
The young man retracted his gaze and looked at the enthusiastic crowd below who suddenly became interested.
Between the raised hands, there was a pen, ink and paper chapter falling in front of him,
With a stroke of the pen,
Sprinkled with eight big characters,
Finger a little,
The paper fell into the hands of the storyteller, and he subconsciously lifted it, and when he looked at it, his pupils dilated, and he looked up, but he couldn't see where it came from.
"Princely generals, would you rather have a kind?"
The storyteller muttered in a low voice.
"Princely generals, would you rather have a kind?"
When the people below heard this, they were indeed shocked and kept repeating, looking at the storyteller and being shocked, these words really went straight to the heart!
"Rather there is a kind?"
"Rather there is a kind?"
Someone pulled his neck and yelled,
The voices of the crowd in the field gradually rose up,
In the end, it resounded in the sky......
In the cry of the multitude,
The ground began to shake lightly, and there were fine gravel jumping, tiles on the eaves clattering, and birds in the distance startled, and gradually the movement became louder.
"Smack......
The loose tiles on the edge of the eaves were shaken to the ground,
Finally someone reacted,
Lifetime jumped to the top of the eaves, looked into the distance, saw the rolling dust, rubbed his eyes, and there were countless red-clothed and black-armored iron horses surging in the dust.
The big Xu character in the pupils continued to expand,
"The imperial army is here!"
"The imperial army is here!"
When everyone saw the boundless iron horse, all the blood boiling was instantly extinguished, and the cool air rushed from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, and they didn't even have time to think about why this army appeared here.
There's only one thought left in my mind,
That is to flee,
As long as you escape from the city, there is still a way to live!
"It's a good show, it's over!"
The young man looked at the panicked crowd and raised his head and drank the bamboo leaves in the cup.
......
At the West City Gate,
Liu Changchun was wiping the cool knife in his hand,
"Lord Liu, spare your life!"
"You're just going to treat me like a fart......"
Not far away, a lean man was nailed to the wooden board of the house by the arrows shot by the iron tire bow, piercing through the pipa bone, looking at Liu Changchun, who was getting closer and closer, even begging for mercy loudly despite the pain of the wound tearing, so, snot and tears mixed with blood stains flowed together, how could there be yesterday's majesty?
"The official said it. ”
"Yesterday's kindness will be rewarded!"
"Second, don't let the official be untrustworthy. ”
Liu Changchun slowly raised the polished cool knife,
After the voice fell,
Aim at the neck position and swing it down!
There was no expected scene of human heads flying,
The cool knife was stuck between the neck,
Half of the man's neck was rolling with blood, and the blood was constantly surging, even blistering to death, but the man under the knife did not die immediately, his eyes were staring at him, and his body was already twisted in pain, but he was still alive......
"I'm sorry, this official killed for the first time!"
Liu Changchun pulled out the cold knife with great difficulty, and immediately the blood flowed like an infusion.
"Ho, ho, ho......"
The man was already in extreme pain, and his eyes were all begging for death, but Liu Changchun walked around the man as if he had nothing, and slowly tore off a sleeve to wipe the blood on it.
"Click, click......"
There was a faint sound of footsteps in the distance,
"Above the green clouds, bones are still needed to pave the way......"
Looking up at the gradually increasing figure on the other side of the long street, he said softly.
