Chapter 103: The heart throbs
When he was young, the Chu Palace was full of Han Luyao's shadow.
With the passage of time, he gradually grew up, and his unruly character continued until he left the lecture hall opened by Lu Chuan, and the king of Chu became more and more strict with him, forcing him to practice martial arts and swords every day. At the same time as the swordsmanship was completed, he also had a miserable life, as the prince of a country, he was boring and boring in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and the practice room every day. At the same time, Han Luyao, as his sparring partner, seems to have become a mountain that he can never climb.
Later, he and Han Luyao entered the barracks at the bottom of the Chu army together with Li Qianji, the son of the Chu general Li Qiuhan, and went to the front line of the battlefield to fight and temper themselves in various places. When he woke up one day, he was surprised to find that the internal force in his body was so strong that he couldn't even imagine it.
Chu Mo followed the Chu army to fight in the south and north for three years, his internal strength rose sharply, and his swordsmanship also increased day by day, and he was also a leader in the rivers and lakes.
At the most dangerous time, the Chu army was given the surname of the general Zhao Long in the Zhao State, and led a thousand Zhao family iron cavalry to break through the camp. Due to a mistake in the command of the front, the forward of the Chu army fell into an ambush by the Zhao army.
The terrain of that pass was dangerous, Chu Mo and thousands of cavalry chased and killed the remnants of the Zhao army, wanting to break through the encirclement, but unexpectedly the Zhao army set up an ambush, and the arrows like a shower were suddenly released densely above the pass. Chu Mo hurriedly turned his horse's head and wanted to retreat towards a small road in the middle of a mountain pass, and the main force of the Zhao army was found in front of the path.
At the same time, the rear troops of Chu Mo came with a battle report and encountered a fierce attack by the Zhao army. In this extremely unfavorable environment, Chu Mo briefly thought about it and launched an attack on the Zhao army in front of the path, wanting to find a breakthrough to let the large army in the rear leave this pass and return to the wide area to launch a counterattack.
But just when Chu Mo led the army to fight with the Zhao army, Zhao Long appeared. Chu Mo swung his sword, the silver armor on his body was already soaked in blood, he rode his horse to a high place, and looked at a burly figure, holding a spear, and inserted himself into the camp of the large army of the Chu army.
The Zhao family's army lived up to its reputation, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and everywhere it went, the Chu army was defeated one after another. For a time, the dense Chu army was penetrated by the Zhao army, and it was crushed.
Zhao Long waved the spear in his hand, and the corpses of the Chu army were piled higher and higher. He fought hard, chasing Chu Mo's troops.
From a distance, he raised his head and saw Chu Mo, who was overlooking the battle from a high place, pointed his spear upward, and roared angrily: "I am Changshan Zhao Long, can the Chu thief dare to fight with me?"
A feeling of horror inexplicably rose in Chu Mo's heart. He did not dare to fight, and he did not care about the large troops in the rear, so he turned to the small road and tried his best to break through. Zhao Jun at the end of the path blocked his way, and then Zhao Long intercepted Chu Jun, bent on blocking him here. Chu Mo panted, turned his horse's head, and rushed into the formation of the Zhao army desperately, there was a mixed horse rope on the ground, and dense cold arrows flew above his head, and the Chu soldiers around him were fallen under the swords of the Zhao army one after another.
Chu Mo completely exerted the internal force of his body out of his body, making the Flower Dipping Sword Technique used to the extreme. But on the battlefield, the sword can kill one person, but it is difficult to defeat the crowd, a circle of light red aura appeared around his body, and the internal force surged in the aura, injected into the blade of the sword, and several afterimages flickered, piercing into the armor of the Zhao soldiers, unstoppable. But even so, they were still outnumbered and surrounded by the Zhao army.
Chu Mo looked around blankly in the battle, and everywhere he could see was the wailing of the Chu army, and the culling of the Zhao army like a beast. He looked back and saw that Zhao Long had already killed not far from him with a spear in his hand, and countless Chu soldiers were like mantis arms blocking the car under his spear. He couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.
I am a dignified prince of Chu, who practiced swords hard in the first half of my life and became the pinnacle of my peers, will die here?
There were only a few soldiers of the Chu army around him, and they were simply not enough to resist the offensive of the Zhao army. Chu Mo looked at Zhao Long, who was getting closer and closer, and felt the threat of death for the first time.
Until this moment, on the periphery of the Zhao army's formation, there was a sudden shout of killing. Everyone looked back, and on the other side of the path, the flag of the Chu army fluttered in front of everyone.
After a while, hundreds of Chu army iron cavalry arrived, and rushed straight into the encirclement of the Zhao army, with extraordinary bravery. When the soldiers beside Chu Mo saw the reinforcements, they also saw hope, and raised their swords and guns again, protecting Chu Mo in the center. Zhao Long couldn't bear to miss the opportunity to trap Chu Mo, and rushed towards Chu Mo without delay.
Clang!
Chu Mo fought with him, and the soldiers of the two armies were killed. Zhao Long's marksmanship is ghostly and invisible, and it is unusual. In the blink of an eye, he retreated in a series of defeats, and all he could see was the deadly spear spikes in front of him, and even though he tried to dodge, there were still a few more scars on the silver armor. Zhao Long's marksmanship has been trained on countless battlefields, and his actual combat experience is far above Chu Mo. With a slight move, he deceived Chu Mo's sword, and then looked back at a shot, the force was beyond Chu Mo's imagination, and he was unable to parry at all, and he was stabbed off the horse in a few rounds.
Zhao Long then came with the spear, the internal force surged out, and the tip of the spear turned into several afterimages, like a cage descending from the sky, Chu Mo's flower-dipping sword technique was invincible, and he staggered back in embarrassment. After a few shots, his leg was pierced through and he fell to his knees with a thud. In the next second, the tip of Zhao Long's spear was pressed against his throat. He raised his head and saw Zhao Long's eyes full of murderous intent, and his heart trembled, and death was in the blink of an eye.
At this critical moment, a figure swept through the air and flashed to Zhao Long's side, the white light crossed, Zhao Long was startled, and hurriedly waved his gun to block, and there was a piercing friction sound in Chu Mo's ears. He calmed down and looked up, Han Luyao was dressed in a military uniform and held an ordinary official knife, killing Zhao Long.
Zhao Long clenched the handle of the gun, and the internal force gushed out, and the body of the gun glowed with a strong fluorescence, transforming into a light blue dragon, surrounding the tip of the gun.
"Sharpshooter, Jiaolong goes to sea!"
Zhao Long held the gun and sent it forward, and the strong internal force roared around the body of the gun, and the transformed dragon was towards Han Lu Yao.
Han Luyao's pupils tightened, and the surging internal force surrounded his body, stabilized his body, and threw out the official knife in his hand. The official knife collided with the unstoppable Jiaolong, and it was instantly torn apart. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to Han Luyao's eyes.
At this time, Chu Mo was kneeling behind her, one leg was bleeding like a pillar, and he couldn't move. Han Luyao's back in front of him stood still in the face of the terrifying attack of the spear, his slender figure was covered with bloodstained armor, and a heavy aura arose spontaneously.
Boom!
After a loud bang, the dragon crashed straight into Han Luyao's body, bursting out with a huge blue arc of light that spread outward. Han Luyao closed his hands and gathered internal force to block this powerful blow.
After the internal force dissipated, Han Luyao did not take a step back. She looked up, a stream of red blood running down the corner of her mouth.
When Zhao Long saw this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned. There are few people in this world who can face the magic spear, and this strange woman's body is so tough. He didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, put his spear behind him, tightened his horse's head, and rushed towards Han Luyao.
"Sharpshooter, Shadow Gun!"
Swish!
A sharp afterimage swept by, and the sharp edge of the spear flashed the corner of Han Luyao's eyes. She turned slightly sideways, and rushed forward with the tip of the spear.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Han Luyao's figure flickered, and several spear tips grazed her body in turn. Her footwork made Zhao Long unpredictable for a while, and before he could react, Han Luyao had already come under his horse.
Zhao Long was startled, and hurriedly swung his gun, the tip of the gun cut through the air, making a dull sound of breaking wind. Han Luyao dodged swiftly, and then came under his horse's leg, and with a hand, the war horse neighed, and the horse's leg was broken violently.
Zhao Long jumped off his horse and swung his spear to meet him. Han Luyao was bare-handed, dodging several of his attacks one after another. Zhao Long's majestic internal force led the tip of the spear, the speed was extremely fast, and there were several more scars on Han Luyao's pale cheeks, but her cold eyes were always fixed on Zhao Long, looking for his flaws.
Finally, Zhao Long's footwork was temporarily disordered, and Han Luyao found an opportunity, picked up an official knife from the ground with one foot, held it in his hand, and the internal force was instantly injected, emitting a faint fluorescence.
Swish!
The white mang slashed, and Zhao Long gathered the internal force in his body to pick up the gun and block. But the cold light of the blade flexibly crossed over in Han Luyao's hands, and Zhao Long's footwork became more and more chaotic, and he had to retreat again and again.
Clang!
He tried his best to block Han Luyao's knife, the body of the gun buzzed, and his arm was numb. He steadied himself, his eyes full of surprise, and looked at the cold woman in front of him.
"There is no one in the world who can match my spear...... Oh, it's Zhao who underestimated the enemy. Zhao Long looked at her and let out a self-deprecating sneer.
At the same time, the Chu army had also broken up the encirclement of the Zhao army, rushed up, and surrounded Han Luyao. Zhao Long looked back, and the large army of the Chu army in the rear gradually came here. Looking at the battle situation with a huge disparity in strength, Zhao Long took a breath helplessly, put away his gun, looked at Han Luyao solemnly, and said, "Come on, collect the troops, and retreat." ”
With that, he jumped on his horse, turned around and galloped backwards with the remnants of Zhao Jun. Above the pass, a dense rain of arrows fell again, covering the retreat of the Zhao army.
Han Luyao quietly looked at Zhao Jun who was going away, exhaled, and the internal force that was tightly gathered around his body dispersed. The blow that had just blocked the sharpshooter had already caused heavy damage to his body, and at this time, there were still dozens of wounds on his body that had been pierced by the tip of the spear, gurgling blood.
She staggered a few steps forward, nearly unsteady on her feet. After adjusting his internal strength slightly, he turned around and slowly walked towards Chu Mo in the eyes of everyone. Chu Mo looked at her figure, a little sluggish, and he couldn't bother to wipe away the blood splashed on his face.
Han Luyao slowly came to Chu Mo, covered in blood, swaying slightly, and knelt down.
"Your Highness, I'm late, it's not too early, I'll send you home. ”
After she whispered a word, her long, tousled hair fell down to cover her pale face. As soon as the words fell, the surrounding Chu soldiers knelt down in front of Chu Mo and said in a loud voice: "I'm late for the escort, please forgive your highness." ”
Survive the catastrophe. Chu Mo looked at Han Luyao in front of him stupidly, not knowing how to speak, but somehow there were waves in his heart.
Wow.
The bamboo forest outside the window was rustled by the wind. Chu Mo came back to his senses and was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he had stared straight at Ouyang Luxiao in front of him, holding the chopsticks and not falling for a long time.
"What's the matter, Third Young Master, what's going on?" Ouyang Luxiao pursed his lips and smiled, his face flushed.
"Oh, oh, it's fine. Chu Mo said hurriedly, lowered his head and took a bite of food, looking a little flustered.
Somehow, after the battle of Zhao State, the image of Han Luyao standing in front of him in military uniform appeared in his memory from time to time, and it was difficult to erase.
Chu Mo thought, inadvertently glanced to the side with the corner of his eye, and saw that Ouyang Luxiao was still looking at himself intently, he couldn't help but ask softly, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Ouyang Luxiao listened, silently raised his hand, raised the wine jug, filled the wine glass in front of Chu Mo, and said softly: "Third Young Master, this journey has been dusty and tiring, and it has been really hard. ”
As she spoke, she filled the wine glass in front of her again, and raised it to salute Chu Mo. Chu Mo hurriedly put down his chopsticks and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm really too strong to drink, so I can't drink more." ”
"What's not to do?" Ouyang Luxiao said, raising his neck and drinking it all up. Putting down the wine glass, her eyes seemed to be shining, and her cheeks were a delicate red. Chu Mo was not easy to refuse, so he drank it one after another. He has been drinking much more than his peers since he was a child, and it can be said that he has drunk since he was a child, so he doesn't get much drunk.
Ouyang Luxiao lowered his eyes, and his expression was a little more charming. She said softly: "I heard in my early years that the Third Young Master had some feelings with Elder Ouyang Cheng's granddaughter, I don't know if it's true or not?"
The question she suddenly asked made Chu Mo unable to answer for a while, Ouyang Luxiao saw that he fell silent, laughed, and said, "Young master, don't blame me for gossiping, it's just that I haven't talked to a living person for a long time over the years, so I can't help but talk a lot." ”
Chu Mo nodded in a daze, not knowing what she meant by this, so she had to deal with the food in front of her.
Ouyang Luxiao's face flushed with two flushes, she picked up the wine glass again and drank it to herself. After a few glasses of wine, she leaned against the table, her eyes were a little fluttering, and she said to Chu Mo: "Is the third young master interested in chatting with me about the past?" After I got married, I heard that this incident alarmed many people. ”
Chu Mo raised his head and said lightly: "It's been too long, I can't remember it clearly, I don't know if my sister-in-law can recall it for me, I really don't have any impression." ”
"I've only heard a little bit about these things. Ouyang Luxiao narrowed his eyes and said slightly drunk, "However, after Elder Ouyang Cheng's granddaughter also came back with you this time, the elders of the whole clan have all taken a close look at the two of you, which is also the reason why the old man won't let you go out." The rules in this clan, intermarriage is a taboo, not to mention that the lord and Ouyang Cheng have always been at odds, if the matter between you and that girl spreads, it will definitely be regarded as a big shame in the clan, and it will make the whole Nanzhou laugh. ”
Chu Mo listened silently and nodded. Because of this, even if Ouyang Mu knew his details, he couldn't find a chance to get close to him. But why did she pretend not to know each other when she was at the temple and let go of this opportunity in vain?
Ouyang Luxiao looked at him, drunk, and said, "However, there are lovers in the world who eventually become married, and I am an outsider, so I ignore these rules." But the story of the third young master and that girl made me very interested. I heard that the third young master was talented and arrogant when he was young, and the girl ...... It seems that he is called Ouyang Mu, he is a martial arts wizard, the two seem to be unrelated, how did the third young master win that girl's heart?"
"It's all old things, so don't mention it. Chu Mo said with a wry smile. How was Ouyang Mo when he was a child, how would he know?
"But now that I have seen the third young master with my own eyes, he is also good-looking and talented. That girl's vision is really good, in Nanzhou, those young ladies who are waiting to be married see the third young master, and it is inevitable that there are few who are not moved. ”
After that, Ouyang Luxiao laughed, and the silver bell-like laughter sounded in Chu Mo's ears, making him a little restless.
She looked at Chu Mo's slightly embarrassed appearance, regained her expression, stood up, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't laugh at you." The third young master is also a big man, how can he be as shy as a little scholar. ”
With that, she picked up the food and wine on the table, put it in her hand, and walked out the door.
"Then I'll go first, don't tell the master that I inquired about you, otherwise those mothers-in-law and subordinates will be broken again. Ouyang Luxiao was still drunk, and instructed him.
Seeing that she was leaving, Chu Mo hurriedly got up, saluted her, and said respectfully: "Sister-in-law will not send her if you leave slowly." ”
Ouyang Luxiao smiled back at him and left the room with steps.
Chu Mo was left alone in the empty room. He sighed and came back to his senses, feeling a wave of surprise in his heart. Ouyang Luxiao's smile inexplicably made his heart throb a little, making him panic for a while.
Perhaps, it's just because her eyebrows and eyes with Han Luyao are too similar. Chu Mo calmed down and comforted himself.
