Chapter 655: Life and Death (13)
"Keep people under the sword!"
At the moment when the Wuji Sword was about to pierce Luo Tianjin's throat, an old voice suddenly came from the night sky.
Immediately afterwards, a fierce energy burst out of the air, and it hit the sword body like lightning, making a crisp sound, and at the same time making Liu Xunyi's wrist sink, and the sword blade couldn't help but deflect for half a minute, and the sharp blade lightly grazed Luo Tianjin's neck and slashed out.
Although this sword left a shocking blood mark on Luo Tianjin's neck, it did not hurt his life.
"Xun Yi, don't pay attention to him, kill Luo Tianjin quickly!" Zhao Yuan's eyes changed, and he urged repeatedly.
Liu Xunyi was stunned, and before he could react, several rays of white energy shot out in mid-air again, forcing him to retreat again and again, and he had to abandon Luo Tianjin and swing his sword to protect himself.
"Bang!"
In the midst of the chaos, the closed courtyard door was suddenly kicked open, which once again made Zhao Yuan and the others stunned.
Fixedly watched, but saw Ling Xiaoxiao and Yun Chaiyue, accompanied by the disciples of Wudang and the disciples of Longxiang Mountain, walked into the courtyard gracefully.
At the same time, Qingfeng led the two Dao Masters of Gu Yue and Lone Star to fall from the sky, and the three of them surrounded Luo Tianjin tightly in a cornering manner, not only to prevent Luo Tianjin from escaping, but also to prevent others from approaching.
However, what surprised Liu Xunyi the most was that behind Ling Xiaoxiao, four Wudang disciples carried two door panels, and there were two corpses lying on the door panels, which were Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang, who were full of holes and blood.
Behind Yun Chasing Yue, there were also two disciples of Long Xiang Mountain carrying a door panel, but the door panel was not a corpse, but a wounded person whose life was hanging in the balance, and only one breath remained, this person was none other than Yun Chasing Yue, Shao Yuanqing, and Xie Xuan, who was nameless and invincible.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yuan and Luo Tianjin's faces changed at the same time. The difference is that Luo Tianjin's face is full of resentment and unwillingness, but Zhao Yuan's face has a trace of joy and sadness.
"Congratulations!" Seeing Zhao Yuan, Yun Chaiyue took the lead and smiled, "Congratulations to Lord Zhao for living up to expectations, not dishonoring the emperor's order, cornering the traitor Luo Tianjin, and making immortal contributions to the imperial court." ”
However, in the face of Yun Chasing the Moon's compliment, Zhao Yuan replied meaningfully: "This official is ashamed, and he paid the lives of more than 300 soldiers to kill Luo Tianjin's wings, and so far it is still one step away from exterminating the traitors." On the contrary, it was the two, who came neither early nor late, just right, as if they were ...... It's like a discussion. ”
Zhao Yuan had something to say, and while blaming Ling Xiaoxiao and Yun Chasing Yue for being late, he was also taking the opportunity to test their attitudes.
Seeing that Zhao Yuan, Ling Xiaoxiao, and Yun Chaiyue respected each other like guests, talking and laughing, Luo Tianjin's anger in his heart was even more than three points.
Liu Xunyi learned that Zhao Yuan was secretly colluding with Yun Chaiyue, and a bitter feeling of disgust and helplessness arose in his heart.
"In tonight's battle, Lord Zhao has gained a lot. Ling Xiaoxiao looked around at the mountains of corpses around her, and her tone was as flat as water, making people unable to hear joy and anger.
"There is a matter for the officer to ask Mrs. Luo for advice. Zhao Yuan was dissatisfied, and his tone was very blunt, "The eight disciples under the command of King Xian's Mansion have obviously been sent by Liu Xunyi, why can Luo Tianjin still find eight hundred ambush soldiers? Dare to ask Madam, these ambush soldiers ...... Where did it come from? Does Madame know about this beforehand?"
"After all, Luo Tianjin is the leader of the martial arts alliance, he has been entrenched in the north for many years, and his roots are deep, so it is easy to gather some fox friends in the rivers and lakes. Ling Xiaoxiao said unhurriedly, "As for the origin of these ambushes...... I don't know. ”
"Is this true?" Zhao Yuan was skeptical, as if he was deeply dissatisfied with Ling Xiaoxiao's excuse.
"What, don't you believe me?" Ling Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes stared at Zhao Yuan without hesitation, and there was a hint of threat in her tone.
Zhao Yuan is not a fool, he naturally understands the truth that "people have to bow their heads under the eaves", at this moment his own men and horses have been exhausted, and the remaining Liu Xunyi and Qin Wei are also exhausted, and their injuries are not light.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan's eyes couldn't help but soften a little, and he said: "This official naturally believes in Madame, otherwise he wouldn't have killed the traitor with great fanfare tonight." ”
Seeing that Zhao Yuan took the initiative to give in, the corners of Ling Xiaoxiao's mouth raised a smug smile.
"There is one more thing!" Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment and spoke again, "This official and his wife had an appointment in advance, and when I led people to deal with Luo Tianjin, my wife wanted to hand over the heads of the two Xiliao remnants to me, I don't know ......."
"I have led people to the rooms of Xun Qin and Yeluchin. Ling Xiaoxiao replied lightly, "It's just that we pounced, and they have long been empty, and they are nowhere to be found." Want...... It should have been aware of the clues in advance, so he fled for his life early. ”
"What?" Zhao Yuan was shocked and angry, and asked, "Yeluqin and Xun Qin ran away?" Mrs. Luo, how could you let the two thieves escape under your nose? How did you promise ......this official in the first place?"
"Lord Zhao's words are wrong. Ling Xiaoxiao said unhappily, "They are fleeing from the wind, what do they have to do with me? Besides, I am not a roundworm in their stomachs, how can I be the first to anticipate everything?"
As if feeling the disdain in Ling Xiaoxiao's words and the toughness in his tone, Zhao Yuan noticed that Ling Xiaoxiao's attitude tonight was a little unusual, and even ...... Some are deliberately difficult.
Hearing the conversation between Zhao Yuan and Ling Xiaoxiao, Liu Xunyi's heart was full of mixed feelings, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
It turned out that Zhao Yuan was hiding many things from him, but Liu Xunyi was unaware of it, and even naively thought that Zhao Yuan could only rely on him to act in Luoyang City.
"In any case, let's kill Luo Tianjin first!" Zhao Yuan gave in again, he didn't want to have a useless argument with Ling Xiaoxiao, so he pointed the finger at Luo Tianjin, who was in danger, "If it is delayed until dawn, all the disciples of the Xianwang Mansion will return to their nests, or the various sects and factions will wake up, things will become extremely troublesome." I mean, strike first to ......"
"Wait a minute!"
Before Zhao Yuan's words fell, Ling Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes suddenly turned, and she said with a smile: "Lord Zhao has worked tirelessly and come all the way to help me punish Luo Tianjin, a heartless and unrighteous man, we orphans and widows are really grateful." ”
Zhao Yuan was secretly taken aback, and corrected: "Madame's words are wrong! This official's treatment of Luo Tianjin is caused by the emperor's order, and it is definitely not because of your children's private affairs......"
"It doesn't matter if it's public or private. In short, I am fortunate to be able to cooperate with adults, and I have benefited a lot. Ling Xiaoxiao bowed to Zhao Yuanyingying with concern, "Here, I would like to thank you first." ”
"Why is Madam like this?" Zhao Yuan was confused, unable to guess Ling Xiaoxiao's intentions, "You and I joined forces to take what we need, and Madam doesn't need to say thank you." ”
"Lord Zhao said it well. Ling Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "You and I join forces to get what we need, but we have a common goal, which is Luo Tianjin." ”
"Not bad!"
"Now that Luo Tianjin is in the cauldron, it is easy to kill him, so ......" As for this, a trace of cunning quietly flashed in Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes, and she smiled faintly: "Therefore, my cooperation with adults will end here!"
As soon as the words fell, the Wudang disciples led by Zheng Songren and Zhang Songyi quickly drew their swords and surrounded Zhao Yuan, Qin Wei, and Liu Xunyi, all of them staring at each other, ready to attack.
"This ......"
The sudden drastic change made Zhao Yuandeng stunned for a while, and he was so confused for a while that he didn't know how to speak.
Yun Chasing Yue stood quietly aside, thoughtful, without saying a word, as if waiting to see the changes.
"Mrs. Love, you ...... What do you mean by this?" Zhao Yuan forced himself to calm down and said unhappily, "Could it be that you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"
"No!" Ling Xiaoxiao shook her head slowly, "I'm just doing something that adults want to do, but don't have the opportunity to do." ”
"Shhh
Ling Xiaoxiao's words made Zhao Yuan's face change, and he couldn't help but gasp.
What she said was true, according to Zhao Yuan's original strategy, she would use Ling Xiaoxiao to deal with Luo Tianjin first, and then get rid of Ling Xiaoxiao. For this reason, Zhao Yuan once hinted at the mass grave that Yun Chaiyue should not interfere.
Unexpectedly, Luo Tianjin actually hid 800 ambush soldiers, not only fought Zhao Yuan's 300 Golden Sword captains, but also lost seven young guards, which greatly damaged his vitality and completely disrupted the whole plan.
Now, Zhao Yuan is powerless and can no longer make a move against Ling Xiaoxiao. But he never thought that if he didn't kill Ling Xiaoxiao, Ling Xiaoxiao would kill him instead.
If it is said that the birds are hidden in the bow and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked, neither Zhao Yuan nor Ling Xiaoxiao has to boast of being high, because they are the same kind of people in the final analysis. It's just that the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain.
"Haha......"
Suddenly, Xie Xuan's laughter broke the silence, and he glared angrily at a pair of bloody eyes, staring at the upset and helpless Zhao Yuan viciously, and said contemptuously: "Zhao Yuan, I didn't expect you to have today!
Xie Xuan's sarcasm made Zhao Yuan's face more and more ugly, and he turned his remorseful gaze to Liu Xunyi, who had a complicated face, and blamed himself: "Xunyi, what you said is right, Benhou really shouldn't believe Ling Xiaoxiao, a poisonous woman...... I only hate that I refused to listen to your advice in the first place......"
"Master Hou doesn't have to blame himself. Liu Xunyi's expression was full of expression, and his words were righteous, "My subordinates are willing to take the lead, risk their lives, and kill a way out for the Hou Ye!"
Hearing this, Qin Wei wanted to echo his words, but he thought of the situation in front of him and his own safety, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back into his stomach, and he stopped talking several times, and finally he didn't dare to say such bold words as Liu Xunyi.
Liu Xunyi's words were heartfelt, affectionate, and infinitely moved Zhao Yuan: "Ben Hou really didn't see the wrong person! Xunyi, just based on what you just said, Ben Hou believes that you have never betrayed the court, let alone thought of being in cahoots with Luo Tianjin." ”
"Lord Hou......"
"But you don't have to waste your time. Zhao Yuan changed his words and sighed, "The masters of the Wudang faction are like clouds, and the martial arts of the head of Qingfeng are not under Luo Tianjin. If they insist on hunting and killing, we will have no room for escape. ”
"But ......"
"It was the mistake of Benhou's thoughts, and the lives of hundreds of loyal ministers and righteous people were ruined in vain. Zhao Yuan said ashamedly, "Now that the achievements have fallen short, Benhou has no face to face the emperor and the prime minister, it is better to fight to the last person and die to die for the country." At least...... You can leave a name for a lifetime. ”
Ling Xiaoxiao ignored Zhao Yuan's emotion, and walked straight to Luo Tianjin under the suspicious gaze of everyone. Looking at the embarrassed Luo Tianjin, she suddenly laughed out loud, and then howled and cried, and for a while she was like crazy, like crazy, making others feel uneasy and uneasy.
"Luo Tianjin, I really hate that I can't cut you with a thousand knives and crush your bones and scatter ashes!" Ling Xiaoxiao said through gritted teeth.
Suddenly, her expression froze again, her eyes became very melancholy, and she reached out and stroked Luo Tianjin's bloodstained cheeks, crying like a complaint: "Brother Jin, no matter who hurts you like this, I will definitely make them pay for their blood debts!"
Ling Xiaoxiao was uncertain, talking crazy, and in the dark and cold night, it became more and more eerie and terrifying.
"Zhao Yuan, Liu Xunyi, Qin Wei ......" Ling Xiaoxiao turned around suddenly, stretched out her hand and pointed at Zhao Yuan and the others, and ordered to the Wudang disciples with an expressionless face, "Kill no one, don't leave any of them!"
......
