Chapter Thirty-Nine: Midnight Visitors
"Ten, nine, eight••••••" The leader of the team below really began to time. Obviously, the people besieging below will not be ordinary gangs or ordinary brocade guards, but well-trained warriors. This kind of tactic of first firing ten thousand arrows and then leading the army to attack is the most simple and practical. Since the entire inn has been cordoned off, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and many innocent people will be killed or injured by such an arrow.
Xi Yingzhen looked from under the window, and sure enough, downstairs had been surrounded by a Yulin army into an iron bucket, and a general was commanding the army first. Looking back at the blue moon again, the practice has reached the last moment.
"Three, two, one!" the general downstairs drank: "It's time, archers, take the arrows!"
Xi Yingzhen glanced at Lan Yue, only to see that Lan Yue's eyes opened suddenly, and two golden lights disappeared in a flash! Lao Dao knew that Lan Yue was done, so he hurriedly shouted: "Follow me!" kicked open the window, tore off the curtains, and jumped down from the third floor, followed by Lan Yue.
The general downstairs heard a knock from a window somewhere upstairs, and then jumped down, hurriedly pointed with the sword in his hand, and shouted, "Release the arrow!" Only to hear a "bang" sound, the sound of thousands of bowstrings converged into only one, and thousands of arrows converged together, as if they had come to life, turning into an evil dragon, roaring and rushing towards Xi Yingzhen and Lan Yue.
At this time, Xi Yingzhen was still in mid-air, and he saw that the curtain in his hand had become a huge shield that rotated at high speed under his dance, but at this time, Lan Yue was a line later than him because he jumped down, and when the arrow came, Lan Yue would have nowhere to hide.
That's when the unthinkable happened. Xi Yingzhen, who was already in mid-air, actually paused, as if he suddenly stopped walking on the stairs, just waiting for the blue moon and placing him behind the "shield", at this time, the rain of arrows came as promised. There was a "crackling" sound in my ears, like rain hitting the windowsill.
At the beginning of the "rain of arrows", there was an extremely brief silence on the street, as if time had a brief stillness at that moment. The sergeants raised their eyes to look, and there was no expected corpse that was shot into a hedgehog, but they saw an old man and a young man standing on the street.
He Cheng, the general of the Yulin Army, saw this kind of scene, and immediately became furious, waved the long sword in his hand, and led his subordinates to rush over, and suddenly the sound of swords and swords and horses' hooves on the street.
Xi Yingzhen regarded it as nothing, and just whispered to Lan Yue: "Your Dafa has just become successful, don't act rashly." Just follow me. Blue Moon nodded yes.
The cavalry was in front, followed by infantry armed with spears and halberds. You must know that the emperor's holy decree does not say that the blue moon must be captured alive, but only says, "Regardless of whether you live or die, you must make it torture." The soldiers of the Feather Forest all knew that Blue Moon was brave, who would risk their lives to capture Blue Moon alive? They all wanted to carry Blue Moon's head to ask for merit and reward, so everyone fought bravely to be the first to kill Blue Moon on the spot.
Xi Yingzhen looked at the cavalry on the horse who was getting closer and closer, showed a rather helpless expression, and said to himself: "Old, no one remembers who you are, decades ago, Lao Dao stood on the street like this, who dared to take a step forward?"
In an instant, the two teams of cavalry had rushed to the front from both sides, and immediately the Yulin army waved their long swords, and the cold light was shining, which made this warm early summer become cold.
The cavalry is in sight. Suddenly, two golden rays of light were released from the gap in the eyes of the old man, and the golden pill in the body that had been dormant for a long time seemed to come to life, prompting a powerful and explosive energy, and the old way in the eyes of the blue moon had changed from solid to virtual, turning into a high-speed rotating golden light, rotating around himself, and the blue moon could no longer see the figure clearly, but the screams kept coming from around.
After a dozen breaths of effort, the golden light disappeared, Xi Yingzhen stood in front of him with his hand, and Lan Yue looked around again, only then did he understand what had just happened, it turned out that the old Taoist performed the Jindan Dafa, and at the same time rotated at high speed, he shot out the nearly 1,000 feather arrows that had fallen around him with a swift and unbeatable technique, but the body method was extremely fast, so fast that it was impossible to see clearly with the naked eye, and each feather arrow was full of Jindan true strength. The whole street was filled with the wounded soldiers of the Featherlands, and the wails and neighing of the horses rang out. There were only a few people who didn't get hit by the arrows, not because they didn't shoot, but because there were only those arrows around Xi Yingzhen at that time, and there were no extra arrows to shoot.
Lan Yue carefully looked at the people who fell to the ground and wailed, but found that none of them were shot to the point, let alone killed, but they had only temporarily lost the ability to move. Lan Yue suddenly admired Xi Yingzhen, on the one hand, although the old Tao made thunderbolt means, but also calmed the Bodhisattva's heart, and it was even more rare that the sense of proportion of the technique could be grasped so accurately, not to see it with his own eyes, how could he not believe that Jindan Dafa was so powerful, and secretly determined, he must work hard to quickly practice this method.
Looking at the injured who fell to the ground all over the street, Xi Yingzhen muttered, "Why is this so painful?" He turned to look at Lan Yue and smiled: "I'm old! Are you alright?"
Lan Yue nodded and said softly, "I'm fine." ”
Lao Dao also nodded, raised his hand, and motioned for Lan Yue to follow, and took the lead out of the city, and Lan Yue followed. Those who fell to the ground saw the old way coming, and they all made a way. The only leading general seemed to want to ask the name of the old man, but he didn't dare to ask when he came to him, so he swallowed the words back and had to watch the old man leave as if he was nothing.
Lan Yue came to the general, stopped and asked, "I'm curious, it's only been more than half a day since I arrived in Zhenjiang, how did you know that I was in Zhenjiang and could find my whereabouts?"
The general of Yulin took a sip, twisted his head, and proudly did not answer.
Lan Yue squatted down, a faint golden light flashed in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "The answer is wrong." So saying, he reached out and grabbed the shaft of the arrow that was still stuck in the man's body, and after stirring it vigorously a few times, he pulled it out again. The arrow had a barb, and it ripped off the flesh in an instant.
The general of the Yulin Army sweated in pain, but he still didn't answer, and he didn't say a word.
Lan Yue nodded and said, "Good man, I admire you the most." With a "poof", he inserted the feather arrow back into the original wound, and it was deeper than the original. This time the arrow pierced the bone, and the general could only hold back the cry.
Lan Yue stared at him with those pale golden eyes, and said softly, "Do you think we can play a game?" I will use this feather arrow to insert and pull back and forth in your wound to see how many times you can survive?
The man was so painful that he died, and when Lan Yue wanted to pierce again, he couldn't stand it anymore, and said in a trembling voice: "Lan •••••• little marquis, don't torture me, I'll say it all••••••"
"I am in charge of blocking the waters of the Yangtze River in Zhenjiang and Yangzhou under the orders of Commander Zhu Bai, in order to prevent you from crossing the river and fleeing to the north or drifting down the river and crossing the sea to escape from Middle-earth. We had just arrived at the garrison at noon yesterday, but in the middle of the night, a canopy boat came from the other side of the canal, and when my men went up to investigate, two masked men came ashore, and they could tell my name and position in the Yulin Army, and said that they had urgent business to meet me. The sergeant looked like a masked person, but full of official structure and great style, and hurriedly led it to my tent, and the person who came claimed to be a friend of Commander Zhu, but it was inconvenient to reveal his identity, and told us that you were in Zhenjiang City, and even the inn where he settled was detailed. When I was in doubt, the man took out a short knife with a Mongolian silver sheath and jewels, and I recognized it at a glance as the commander's beloved, and then led the army forward. I really don't know who that person is, but ••••••"
Blue Moon asked, "Just what?"
The general said: "I can only be sure that this person is from the Beijing Division, because the accent of the Beijing Division is indeed the accent of the Beijing Division." ”
