38 The three armies raised their shadows and swayed
Xie Yixiang took her "Luoxia Lonely" light skill to the extreme, and jumped on the roof in the night, rushing towards the imperial city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is not that she deliberately shows off her light skills, firstly, her "Luoxia Lonely Bird" is a rapidly changing method of moving her body, and is not suitable for long-distance travel, so she spreads it on the roof, but it is much faster than her running wildly on the flat ground; second, she was born in Suzhou since she was a child, and only moved to the capital to live when she was six or seven years old, and she still can't remember the intricate streets and alleys in this Jinling City. At this moment, she was condescending, and she was advancing from Dong'anmen to the west, which was where the imperial city was located.
The outline of the imperial city in the moonlight was already faintly visible, but under the silhouette there was a long fire dragon, quietly moving forward in the darkness, with no head in front and no tail in sight, but a clear army marching in secret, a few thousand people.
Xie Yixiang could get in, and saw clearly that the armor they were wearing was exactly the costume of the forbidden army in the capital. But in the middle of the night, each sergeant was holding a torch and looking serious, and was quietly walking along the alleys of the city, heading straight for the direction of the imperial city.
Seeing this scene, Xie Yixiang breathed a sigh of relief. Since all the 5,000 forbidden troops in the capital have appeared here, it means that the imperial city has not yet been breached, and everything is still going to turn around. She hurriedly held her breath and gently stepped on the bricks of the roof, crossing the street from the fire dragon, determined to reach the imperial city first.
At this moment, a dark cloud drifted by, obscuring the bright autumn moon in the sky. Xie Yixiang was overjoyed, took the opportunity to take a step, and quickly walked on the roof. In just a moment, it seemed that she was about to overtake the fire dragon and rush ahead, but when she heard the sound of the wind behind her, three people dressed as Taoist priests jumped on the roof, shouting angrily in unison, and the cold light of the three long swords shone brightly, twisting towards her back.
After all, he was still discovered, Xie Yixiang scolded secretly. She knew that it was the Taoist priest of Taiyuan Temple, so she didn't dare to fight, so she immediately jumped sideways over the street and landed on the opposite roof.
However, the three Taoist priests were going to force her to the forbidden army, and as soon as Xie Yixiang jumped on the opposite roof, the team of five thousand forbidden troops was already at her feet. Before she could stand on her feet, eight sergeants jumped onto the roof, and five spears and three quick knives rushed at her.
Although the eight people who shot this shot had no tricks and no style, and even full of flaws, they were very fast, accurate, and ruthless. Xie Yixiang was slightly surprised, she didn't expect the forbidden army to have such strength, and she hurriedly took out the sheath and slashed it down, but it was cut to the roof under her feet.
Seeing the light of the sword, the roof where everyone was standing suddenly collapsed, and the eight sergeants who jumped up were defenseless and fell into the house one after another. And Xie Yixiang was naturally prepared, and as soon as the knife was shot, he jumped onto the house in front of him and continued to rush forward. She saw that this trick worked, and after a few Taoist priests caught up, she immediately used her knife to destroy the roof and take the opportunity to escape. Fortunately, she had supervised the construction of the Purple Mountain Imperial Mausoleum with Xian Jingyue back then, so she had some understanding of the construction of the house.
As you walked like this, the roofs collapsed one after another, and the exclamations resounded through the night sky. Unconsciously, she had passed through Dongliu Lane and Jintai Road, and not far ahead was a huge square, which was where the gate of the imperial city was located.
Suddenly, the originally dark sky suddenly opened and saw the moon, and the stars were dotted, but the dark clouds that covered the bright moon had drifted away. On the roof of the long street, the moonlight starry light shone on Xie Yixiang's crimson clothes, which suddenly looked particularly dazzling in the dark night. I only heard someone shouting: "Release the arrows!" The forbidden army on the nearby street immediately fired ten thousand arrows, and the long arrows rained down on Xie Yixiang.
In a hurry, Xie Yixiang rolled on the spot and took advantage of the situation to fall on the roof. Fortunately, in order to avoid the accumulation of rainwater, the houses in the south of the Yangtze River were all sloping roofs, and she fell down and hid behind the slope on the other side of the roof, and hundreds of feather arrows were either inserted in the roof or flew into the night, and all of them were dodged by her.
After this pause, Xie Yixiang realized that her hands were full of cold sweat, soaking the red silk tied on the handle of the knife. In fact, she had already known that even if she could rush to the imperial city in advance and notify the palace to take precautions, she was afraid that it would be useless. However, in this situation, you can only do your best and obey the destiny of heaven. If he can rush there first, even if he doesn't have time to meet the emperor to mobilize the governor's mansion and the inner guards, as long as he can summon the eunuchs on duty, just like in Dong'anmen, he may be able to block it for a while and wait for the opportunity to appear.
And now, he is one last step away from the gate of the imperial city. Xie Yixiang listened to the sound of arrow rain slowing down, and then someone jumped on the roof to take a look. She knew that she could not miss the opportunity, and immediately jumped up with all her strength and rushed straight to the square in front of the imperial city.
As soon as the forbidden army under the house stopped shooting, Xie Yixiang flew out at this moment, and the army had no time to react. I saw that her leap was like a galloping horse, as fast as thunder and lightning, and she jumped a distance of several zhang, and the team that preempted the forbidden army fell in front of the imperial city.
You must know that Xie Yixiang has consumed too much energy tonight, and at this moment, her leap is a trick used to hurt people in the "Leaving the Knife", "Lan Zhou Urging", which seems to be used as a light skill at this moment, which has exhausted her last trace of physical strength. In front of him was the high wall of the imperial city, but behind him were thousands of troops and horses, Xie Yixiang struggled to support it with a trace of thought, and ran forward with all his might. Suddenly, she heard the sound of the wind behind her, and a vigorous spear flew through the air, like a tiger roaring and a wolf howling, hitting her back.
Xie Yixiang was already at the end of the crossbow, and subconsciously made the most basic move of "pulling onions on dry land", lifted his body in the air, and stepped on the flying spear to the ground. However, she herself was in mid-air, with no point in her strength, and a spear flew behind her, even more powerful than the former.
Unexpectedly, after all, he was going to die tonight, Xie Yixiang smiled slightly bitterly, closed his eyes and stopped resisting. But I heard a crisp collision sound, vaguely the sound of porcelain breaking, and the spear behind him actually stopped castrating in mid-air, changed from forward to upward, flew high in the night sky, and soared into the sky;
Xie Yixiang escaped death, took advantage of the momentum and fell to the ground, and just after running a few steps, his legs were filled with a sharp pain, but he was injured by the strength attached to the spear that he stepped on earlier. She looked up, but saw a figure sitting on the ground outside the imperial city in the moonlight, and in front of her was a table with a teapot on it—but the teacup was nowhere to be found.
When Xie Yixiang saw this person, she was immediately pleasantly surprised, and blurted out: "Dad!"
The person sitting on the ground is General Xie Fengxuan Xie who is under one person and above 10,000 people in the court today. Hearing his daughter call out "Dad" for the first time in two years, Xie Fengxuan just nodded lightly, but there was a hint of love in his eyes.
Xie Yixiang had a strength out of nowhere, rushed to Xie Fengxuan with all her might, stumbled, and finally sat down on the ground. When she saw the teapot on several cases, she grabbed it and poured it into her mouth, gasping, "...... Taoist priest of Taiyuan Temple...... collusion with the Forbidden Army...... Rebel ......" Before he could say it clearly, he felt like a knife in his throat, and this teapot was actually filled with spirits. Xie Yixiang squirted out the wine with a "poof", choking on tears and coughing constantly.
Xie Fengxuan stretched out his hand and patted her back gently, and said softly: "When your mother was still there, every time she saw me drinking, she always had to nag for a long time, so I secretly put the wine into the teapot and drank it." Who knows that after more than ten years, this habit cannot be changed. ”
As he spoke, he didn't look at the forbidden army team rushing on the opposite side, but just stood up slowly, looked at Xie Yixiang and smiled: "That night on the bank of the Qinhuai River, didn't you ever have any questions, wondering how Dad could deal with thousands of troops and horses alone? ”
