Chapter 224: The dead man sees the light and dies, and the warrior forgets to die and live
Xinghou Mansion.
The handsome maids on the left and right put a purple and gold unicorn robe on Todd.
Tao De spread his arms and let the two maids dress him, he looked up at Tao Chengwen, the general who was kneeling in front of him, and said lightly: "How is Nancheng?"
Tao Chengwen is in his early twenties, with an elegant face, white skin like jade, eyes like electricity, and bright spirits. He is seven feet tall and has powerful arms, and at first glance he is a martial artist. Tao Chengwen and his brother Cheng Er were born as rangers, and they were angry and killed because they were dissatisfied with the bullying of the township.
In order to avoid the pursuit of the government, the two brothers left their hometown, and on the way to escape, they happened to meet Todd and rescued him...
Zhao Wenfeng was at its peak, and the two brothers respected scholars, and learned that Tao De was a disciple of the Qian Sage, and he respected him like a god. In addition, Todd had the grace of regeneration for them, so he vowed to repay him with death, and he was willing to drive his subordinates. Tao De saw that the two brothers had good skills and acceptable qualifications, so he changed his name and gave him his surname to accept him as a general.
Since then, the two brothers have been saddled up and horse-back, and everything has followed. Then Zhao Yan fought, and the two made a lot of meritorious deeds....
At this moment, Tao Chengwen saw Tao De asking about Nancheng, he naturally knew that the lord wanted to watch the play with Wenqinghou's wife Nancheng, and ordered his two brothers to go to investigate in advance, in case Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to make trouble. After all, his own lord shook the northern frontier and looked at the world sideways. However, although Beiyan was defeated, there were still many people who were not dead in their fighting spirit, and it was inevitable that some of them wanted to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, intending to take the life of the lord. If Zhao is not here, I don't know what the situation will be?
Thinking of this, Tao Chengwen raised his head and saluted respectfully: "Back to the lord, although there are many people in Nancheng, we have also found several suspicious people. From its steps, mannerisms, blades, etc., it is speculated that it is suspected to be a northerner. ”
Todd shook his sleeves and snorted: "The heart of the northerners to the south, isn't it still dead?"
Tao Chengwen said even more disdainfully: "Don't worry, how high can some grasshoppers jump?"
"Yes. Tao De collected his sleeves and walked towards the door, without taking two steps, he stopped again, looked back at Tao Chengwen who came with him and said lightly: "Chengwu is impulsive, inform him, be gentle, don't disturb my sister to watch the play." ”
"No, my subordinates will go. Tao Chengwen clasped his fists and saluted.
Looking at Tao Chengwen, who was leaving like the wind, Tao De smiled slightly: "It's not too early, go and invite Mrs. Qian." ”
"No. The maid behind him hurriedly agreed and left in broken steps.
......
In the southern part of the city, at the foot of a very secluded city wall, far from the streets.
At this moment, there was a boy about thirteen or fourteen years old, standing with his head held high. He slowly pulled out the slender horizontal knife at his waist with one hand, and the cold light on the single blade flickered, and there was a faint smell of blood.
Obviously, this long knife that flashes with a cold glow has drunk a lot of blood!
The remnant wind rolls, the robes hunt, and the knife hangs and mocks the sky.
The young man is Xu Hengxuan in the teahouse, General Xu Shao. He was born in Shazhou, Yan Kingdom, in the Xu family.
The Xu family has been in the army for generations, and the man will go to the battle in person, undergo the baptism of blood, and survive, so that he will be the man's husband.
One of them fought for the Yan State to pacify the Quartet, and made many military exploits, and his father died in the battle of civil strife and pacification. At that time, Xu Hengxuan had just turned ten years old, so he took over his father's horizontal knife and went to the battlefield to follow his grandfather.
In the last Zhao Yan War, General Xu Lao had a recurrence of his old wounds, coupled with his old age, he was unable to lead the army to fight, so he was spared. However, the Xu family was not destroyed in the national war, but due to the disagreement within the Yan State, it was tragically destroyed. Xu Hengxuan was the only one, because the middle of the clan sacrificed his life to save the dead, Fang escaped from the north and came to the Zhao country.
After this difficulty of exterminating the clan, Xu Hengxuan, who is thirteen years old, has seen through the filth above the court and hates those rancid princes and nobles. Although the people of the Xu family have always shed blood without tears, Xu Hengxuan, who experienced great changes in his life, looked at the vast sea of tears and loneliness on the way to escape, and also left tears.
The Xu family is loyal to the martyrs, what is the pity of loyalty? The soul of the martyrs is in the north, and they have no return, so they go to Zhao alone.
He finally understood what his grandfather had said, 'There are many generous and sad people in the north, and they are tyrannical for a while, and in the south, they are the soul of gentlemen and righteousness, and virtue is better than the world.' ’
So, he wanted to come to the Southland to have a look. Take a look at the country of gentlemen in my grandfather's mouth, feel where the soul of this virtue is in the world, and listen to the talented and beautiful women who have been praised by hundreds of millions of monarchs and people in Southern Zhao.
It's a pity that now he... There's no chance of doing so.
Looking at the three figures standing like pines on the opposite side, he held the horizontal knife in his hand with both hands. This is the only hope that his father left him... Today, it is going to face the northerners, and maybe it will embrace the darkness under its sharpness
Let's .......
"Hum~!" shook the horizontal knife in his hand, and the blade pointed directly at the three people opposite: "Shazhou, Xu Hengxuan, please fight!"
The sound of breaking shouts came out, and at the foot of the city wall, the wind whistled suddenly.
Although one person has a knife, it seems to have the potential of thousands of troops!
The thick-eyebrow man held the hilt of the short sword at his waist with both hands, he did not draw the sword, but quietly looked at the young man two feet away, and sighed a turbid breath: "Don't besiege." ”
"No!" the two people in front of him agreed one after another. Immediately, an eagle-eyed man on the left ripped off the two scimitars at his waist and stepped out.
Xu Hengxuan's sword eyebrows were upside down, and he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Bullying me when I'm young!?"
The thin young man on the right looked back inquiringly at the thick-eyed man.
The thick-eyed man looked at Xu Hengxuan, then showed admiration and nodded slightly.
So the thin young man also stepped forward and drew the broken sword at his waist.
Seeing the thin young man showing his blade, Xu Hengxuan had already taken a step forward, and rushed out with angry eyes: "Kill!"
...
At this moment, in the small building opposite the city wall, two young men in black clothes were hiding.
One person stood by the window lattice, secretly watching the three people fighting under the city wall. The other looked no more than twenty-one or twelve years old, but he was nearly eight feet tall, and he was born with a strong force, with a thick belt with copper buckles around his waist and iron pieces around his wrists. He sat quietly by the window, constantly wiping a seven-foot silver-white spear in his hand.
This person is another confidant of Tao De, Tao Chengwen's younger brother, Tao Chengwu.
Looking at the three people who were fighting not far from the base of the wall, the young man standing by the window lattice, turned around and whispered in doubt: "General, they have started fighting by themselves!"
"Interesting. Tao Chengwu glanced at the figure not far away and smiled disdainfully.
The young man standing on the side had already pressed his long sword: "General, take it?"
Tao Chengwu still wiped the spear and said slowly: "Don't worry, the lord doesn't like to make noise, let them have internal friction for a while." ”
As he spoke, he aimed his spear at the three people who were fighting in the distance, took aim, and said: "These two people walk briskly, shoot sharply, only attack the vital points, and do not hesitate their own lives, they should be dead soldiers." And the young man opened and closed widely, his moves were extremely simple and practical, not fancy, and there was an indomitable momentum, which should have been born in the military. ”
"Military?" The young guard looked at the young man who was wielding a knife in the distance in surprise: "How old is he?"
Tao Chengwu disagreed: "The north is bitterly cold, and there are not a few men who have joined the army in the 14th Five-Year Plan. This boy should be about thirteen years old, and his skills are not bad. His decisive death is done, and the two are not opponents. ”
The young guard was surprised in his heart and muttered: "Thirteen years old! These two people are flanking left and right, attacking and defending like a rainstorm pear blossom, how can they not be able to defeat a young man who has not grown a hair!?"
Blowing the tip of the spear with a silver glow, Tao Wenwu said firmly: "It's very simple, the dead man dies when he sees the light, and the soldier forgets the dead and lives." ”
Hearing the general's words, the young guard really wanted to see if this young man could fight one against two.
...
"呲~" The horizontal knife sharpened the two scimitars from the strangulation, bringing sparks.
Xu Hengxuan turned sideways, instantly avoiding the short sword from the right side of the assassination! When the knife was drawn, the horizontal blade had already slashed through the scimitar, "Poof~!" instantly cut the throat of the eagle-eyed dead man, but one of the scimitars also pierced his shoulder!
Blood splattered, and the dead man with a scimitar fell to the ground without saying a word.
Xu Hengxuan didn't pause for a moment, and the horizontal knife stepped back, "Bell~!" A sound of gold and iron striking sounded from behind!
The back of the horizontal sword was able to block the short sword that slashed horizontally behind him! Ignoring the bloody wound on his shoulder, he did not hesitate at all, and turned around to pick up the knife and slash down immediately.
The horizontal knife is cold, and under the swaying of the remnant sun, it flashes with a strange red light! This knife, if the thin dead man does not stop it, he will definitely die under the knife, and the head of the body is in two places.
But how could a dead soldier ever be afraid of life and death? I saw that the thin dead soldier not only did not avoid it, but shook the short sword in his hand, and brazenly stepped forward to stab it!
Obviously, he was going to trade his life for his life.
In an instant, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the short sword that was stabbing at his abdomen, and Xu Hengxuan instinctively turned sideways to avoid it. That is the instinct of fighting in the crowd of people on the battlefield for a long time, avoiding one's own vital points, and exchanging injuries for lives!
"Poof~!" The horizontal knife slashed down, deep into the shoulder blade, and the blood flashed. At the same time, the short sword slashed across his side waist and shot out with a bloody sword dart.
"Bang Chang~!" the short sword fell to the ground, and the thin dead man held the horizontal knife that was still being held with both hands!
, along the blade, the arm gurgled down.
The wind hunted, but it couldn't cover the sound of sharp blades grinding bones, like the sour 'squeak' sound when the gates of hell opened, slowly sounded.
Xu Hengxuan's eyebrows froze, and he struggled to withdraw the red horizontal knife, and hot blood splashed on his still immature face. And the dead man in front of him, until this moment, did not make the slightest sound of pain!
He slowly raised the horizontal knife with both hands, the tip of the knife was downward, aimed at the dead soldier who was kneeling on the ground, hanging his head and gasping, and muttered coldly: "The dead man is like a shadow, and the corpse should be preserved when he dies." ”
"Thanks... Thanks!" the emaciated dead man blew his head weakly.
"Poof~!" The horizontal knife broke through the wind, from the back of the thin dead man's neck to the chest and abdomen, and the dead man was angry on the spot!
Looking at the thick-eyed man on the opposite side who was still holding the hilt of the sword with both hands and standing like a pine, Xu Hengxuan slowly pulled out the red horizontal knife: "You should be with them, then I will die, they... Or can be born. ”
The thick-eyed man only smiled slightly: "The dead have the way of the dead." ”
"Who is your master?" Xu Hengxuan shook off the blood stains on the horizontal knife and asked in a deep voice.
The thick-eyebrowed man hesitated for a moment and shook his head silently.
"Heh..."Xu Hengxuan suddenly laughed at himself: "I'm really stupid! I can let you sneak into the Zhao Capital, how can you be those princes and nobles who are eating vegetarian meals?"
Looking at the lonely and self-deprecating young man in front of him, the thick-eyed man said lightly: "Delay the fighter." ”
"Delayed the fighter?" Xu Hengxuan slashed north, and said angrily: "I'm afraid it's because my grandfather was injured and couldn't lead the battle, so the responsibility for Yan's defeat is all the fault of my Xu family, right? ”
As he spoke, he looked at the man with thick eyebrows: "Yan Jun is not as good as King Zhao." ”
Hearing such rebellious remarks, the thick-eyed man frowned: "The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die." ”
Xu Hengxuan snorted and laughed: "He doesn't regard my Xu family as a minister, why should I regard him as a king?"
After speaking, he bit the horizontal knife, reached out and tore off the hem of his clothes, and after tightening the waist wound, he took the horizontal knife: "Xu Hengxuan's head is here, and he has the ability to do everything he can, for your dim master... Peace. ”
The horizontal knife cracked and the wind roared, and the young figure took the lead in rushing up.
The thick-eyebrowed man frowned, and slowly pulled out the double swords at his waist.
...
Next to a private house.
Luo Yu still looks like an ordinary scholar, at this moment he is leaning on the corner of the wall, holding his chest and closing his eyes slightly, looking like he is asleep!
And Xiao Fan beside him was sneaking into the two people fighting in the distance.
Listening to the sound of Jin Ming's blows, Xiao Fan turned around and impatiently pushed away the 'licking dog' appearance, and the second dog, who was wagging his big tail, looked at Luo Yu: "Childe, that Bei Wazi's background is strange and pitiful." ”
Luo Yu's eyes were still slightly closed, and he looked relaxed: "Want to save him?"
Xiao Fan suddenly grinned: "Xiao Fan listens to the son." ”
"Sweet mouth. As he spoke, Luo Yu opened his eyes: "But this kid's qualifications are ...... Huh?"
Suddenly, Luo Yu only felt that his legs seemed to be entangled by something! He suddenly looked at the second dog who was snuggling under the hem of his clothes and hugging his calves!
"What are you doing?" Luo Yu shook it off with a kick, pointed at the second dog with a flattering look and scolded with a smile: "You are also a fourth-order demon beast, can you look like a fourth-order? ”
The second dog's big tail wagged more cheerfully, and he said, "I was originally called the second dog." ”
Xiao Fan turned around and corrected casually: "You are a Phantom Cloud Beast." ”
"Phew!" Ergouzi said with disgust: "When I was a Phantom Cloud Beast, I was only a third-order, and since I called Ergouzi, it didn't take long to become a fourth-order, and I was lucky to be called Ergouzi..." ”
"Huh~ No problem. When Luo Yu heard this, he really couldn't find a reason to argue for a while.
And at this moment, Xiao Fan peeked at the two people who were fighting to the death at the base of the city wall, and whispered urgently: "Stupid! I don't know how to hide?" ~ That Bei Wazi was injured again......
Seeing Xiao Fan sneaking out again, Luo Yu touched her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, he can't die, let's talk about it when everyone shows up." ”
Xiao Fan turned his head suspiciously: "Is there anyone else?"
Not long after the divine sense came out, Xiao Fan stopped his mouth in surprise and looked at Luo Yu: "There are ambushes around, and there is another monk!"
As he spoke, Xiao Fan suddenly realized: "Son, have you recovered your knowledge of the sea?"
Luo Yu smiled and nodded.
