Chapter Thirty-Nine: Chonghu Closes
Chonghu Pass is the military town in the north of Zhao State, the checkpoint city wall is 20 meters high, nearly 25 meters thick, and a bottomless moat is added at the foot of the city wall, the end is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Qin and Zhao have the saying that Chonghu has to get Luyang between the two countries. Over the past 100 years, dozens of wars have broken out between Qin and Zhao around Chonghu Pass, and since the Qin army was defeated in Bailu Lane ten years ago, it was injured and never moved against Zhao again, and the lives of the people in the two places gradually returned to life.
Let's say that Bai Ling and Duan Yao ran all the way towards the city tower, and when they reached the bottom of the stairs, Duan Yao saw that Bai Ling's wound was bleeding nonstop, and hurriedly said, "Bai Ling, you go upstairs first, and I will stop them." Bai Ling's lips were slightly pale, knowing that he wouldn't last long, but when it was critical, how could I, Bai Ling, need a woman to protect me? ”
Duan Yaohu raised his face and said, "Why don't you know how to talk to me, don't you go first." No one feels sorry for you when the blood is dry, you deserve it!"
Bai Ling has already figured out Duan Yao's temperament, this girl is actually a tendon, she only needs to be lightly excited, and she will let herself command, without a second word. Now she goes first, and she is behind, if the pursuers come up, she can take care of it a little more.
It's just that Bai Ling's condition is very bad now, the wound is in severe pain, and his body is also tired and weak, if he doesn't find a way to stop the bleeding, I'm afraid his life will be in danger. But right now, the two of them are fighting like trapped beasts, and they don't know how to get out of the predicament, let alone bandage their wounds. Bai Ling shook his head, feeling deeply distressed, and followed Duan Yao to the wall and upstairs while thinking.
Halfway up, there was a rapid sound of wind in my ears, and it was a feathered arrow that shot closely, and its momentum was fierce, not like that of ordinary soldiers. Bai Ling carried the strength of the high mountains, saw the arrow situation clearly, jumped into the air, and posed a one-word horse, and the feather arrow whizzed through the crotch. Before Bai Ling could stand firm, another arrow chased after him, aiming straight at his heart. Bai Ling just wanted to use an iron plate bridge to dodge this arrow, and suddenly the high mountain energy was launched, and he suddenly saw that this arrow implied ingenuity, and it could not be simply treated. So in desperation, he landed on the ground and tumbled down the stairs, and stopped after several flights of stairs. It turned out that the trajectory of the arrow was strange, and it turned sharply in mid-air, and if he had dodged with the iron plate bridge just now, he would have been shot squarely.
Bai Zero dodged this time, touched the wound, and bared his teeth in pain, but the archer did not give him a chance to breathe at all, and continued to shoot clever arrows like a cannon. After going back and forth a few times, there was no arrow coming again, but he rolled down many times and returned to the city tower, and the person standing in front of him with a bow and arrows was the Shadow Knife Sect Death Gate Knife Ding Zhun, and the black pressure around him was full of soldiers.
Ding Zhun laughed, "Bai Ling boy, can my archery kung fu still get into your eyes, ah, you are injured, why don't you bandage it, look at your face is covered with ashes, you should feel distressed when you look good." Ding Zhun was annoyed with him for a long time, and he tried his best to humiliate him, and wanted to be angry with him.
The white zero dantian was hollow, and the long sword was powerless, knowing that he was definitely not Ding Zhun's opponent at the moment. Ding Zhun's martial arts are much higher than his junior brother Shadowless Dao Ye Yi, and it is extremely difficult to deal with.
In fact, as long as Bai Zero is in good condition, he may not lose much to him. It's just that when your strength is full and when you are in deficit, there is a world of difference in strength, and when your strength is exhausted, your martial arts are equivalent to zero. It was just two times when the situation was not good, and Ding Zhun was right, which can be regarded as bad luck.
Bai Ling was blocked at the entrance of the stairs, and Zhao Bing was afraid that he would be brave and did not dare to approach for the time being. Ding Zhun had a plan in his heart, knowing that this person was already at the end of his crossbow, and it was not difficult to kill him at this time. Ding Zhun just wanted to step forward and make a move, but Bai Ling suddenly said, "Ding Zhun, do you know who the Man in the Iron Mask is?"
Others didn't know why they heard this sentence, but Ding Zhun heard it like a mountain roaring tsunami, and said in a trembling voice, "What kind of iron-masked man, stinky boy, what are you talking about." Bai Ling saw him panicked, knowing that what he saw that night was true, so he said, "The man in the iron mask! You really don't know, or don't dare to mention his name. ”
Ding Zhun came down in a cold sweat and said, "I don't know...... I don't know the name of the Man in the Iron Mask, no, no, there is no Man in the Iron Mask, no, how do you know this?" immediately forced his composure and said, "Bai Zero, don't divert the topic, you're delaying that chick going upstairs." ”
Seeing that he saw through it, Bai Ling laughed, and did not shy away from it, and said bluntly, "Master Ding is very smart, but the matter of the Iron Mask is what I have seen with my own eyes, you are so conspiring, are you worthy of the people of Luyang?" Bai Ling just wanted to say that they were embarrassed and conspired to seize the throne. But Ding Zhun's face changed greatly when he heard this, and said, "Stinky boy, you know everything?" Bai Ling didn't know why he looked so nervous, and replied, "Yes, I know, is there any problem?" Ding Zhun turned pale and said, "In this case, I can't continue to laugh and scold with you, you have to die if you don't die today, to be honest, it's really no good to know too much." After speaking, he picked up the Tang knife of the mourning door, and gave Bai Ling a knife to the head and face.
Bai Lingwan didn't expect that the iron-masked man he moved out would anger Ding Zhun at once, and seeing Tang Dao slashing, he could only stretch out his sword to block it under the severe pain in his back. Ding Zhun's martial arts were domineering, and the Tang Dao brought internal force, without changing his moves, and cut off the Bai Ling long sword with one sword. Immediately, the elastic leg followed with a kick, kicking Bai Zero straight out. Bai Ling had severe pain in his chest, his eyes were black, and he wanted to faint, but he knew that once he was broken, that Duan Yao would be dangerous, so he forced himself to get up again, feeling severe pain all over his body, as if his muscles and bones were broken. Bai Lingqiang has strong internal strength, hoping that even if he still has a little internal strength, he may be able to wait for an opportunity to fight back. But after all the luck, there was nothing in the chest except pain. Bai Ling held a broken sword in his hand, pointed at Ding Zhun, and slowly retreated upstairs along the stairs.
Ding Zhun saw that he was crumbling, his body was covered with blood, and there was only a broken sword in his hand, and he didn't know what strength made him hold on to this. So he shook his head and sighed, "The kid's martial arts are a bit interesting, but it's a pity, let's have a good fight in the next life." As he spoke, he wanted to stab Bai Ling's heart with a knife.
Suddenly, a red light rose from the northeast, this was a signal fireworks, extremely bright, and the light shone directly into Ding Zhun's eyes.
Ding Zhun was slightly surprised, but Bai Ling was relieved when he saw the signal, but after all, Master and they escaped successfully, today's strategy finally ended in victory, and a smile appeared on his face. Ding Zhun thought to himself if this person was dying of dementia, and he didn't know what to laugh at. Regardless of three-seven-twenty-one, let's slaughter it first.
Ding Zhun was halfway through the knife, and a figure instantly ran down from the top of the building, shouting, "Ding Zhun looks at the move!" With the shout, he stabbed several swords at Ding Zhun in a row, this person's martial arts are not exquisite, but the moves are regarded as desperate, Ding Zhun's first few moves were not smooth, and he was forced to retreat a few steps by her.
The person who came retreated to support Bai Ling, seeing his dying appearance, tears fell like rain, and said in his ear, "I really deserve to die, I am still sulking with you at this time, if I come later, you and I will be separated by yin and yang just now, if you die, what is the taste of this world, I will not be able to live, and I will go with you." ”
Ding Zhun saw Duan Yaofu running down from the city tower to save Bai Ling, and couldn't help but sneer, "What a touching scene, the two of them went to die together, and I became a bad guy who broke up the mandarin ducks." ”
Bai Ling was already unable to stand, and when he saw Duan Yao coming to the rescue, his strength loosened and he fell softly into Duan Yao's arms. Bai Ling's head was pillowed on the crook of Duan Yao's arm, his face was full of tears dripping from Duan Yao, he listened to Duan Yao's continuous confession, and his heart was shocked, he didn't expect that this little girl had a deep love for herself, at this moment of life and death, in front of everyone's eyes, she was the daughter of the head of the house who cared about her face, and actually said the words of going to death together.
Duan Yao didn't pay attention to Ding Zhun's teasing, she saw that Bai Ling's face was like gold paper, and she knew that Bai Ling's life and death were all on the line. So he said in Bai Ling's ear, "Bai Ling, I have been pampered since I was a child, and I don't know what it feels like to be sad, until today I didn't know that people's hearts can hurt like this." You have saved me many times, my Duan Yao's life has long been yours, and now it is my turn to save you. After speaking, he put Bai Ling aside, stroked his sideburns, and wanted to get up and fight Ding Zhun to the death.
"Yao'er, what are you talking about!" Chen Juefei was shocked and angry, standing not far away, Duan Yao's words just now were all listened to by him. It turned out that he was not as light as Bai Ling, he was entangled by Zhao Bing, fought for a long time, and had a lot of injuries on his body before he broke through the encirclement. Seeing that Bai Ling rescued Duan Yao and fled to the city tower, he was also in a hurry to follow at the moment, who knew that he finally got closer, but he heard Duan Yao's words. He and Duan Yao have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, they have no guesses, their love for Duan Yao is well known, and Duan's head is also more supportive openly and secretly, so Chen Juefei has never doubted his future affairs with Duan Yao, and thinks that it must be inevitable to marry Duan Yao. Who would have thought that the appearance of a rural boy completely broke this peace.
Ding Zhun looked left and right, and said with an evil smile, "It seems that an uninvited guest has come, Bai Ling, don't just take care of kissing me and me, but also take into account the feelings of others." Chen Juefei really couldn't hear such words, he was so excited that the spear in his hand trembled, and said angrily, "What, what kiss me and me, Yao'er, what's going on, is it that Bai Ling did something to you, you tell Senior Brother, Senior Brother will be in charge of you." ”
Duan Yao stood in the wind, brushed her hair, and said to Chen Juefei, "Senior brother, Bai Ling didn't do anything to me, we are just like-minded, don't think about it." When Chen Juefei heard Duan Yao's words, as if he was hit by five thunderbolts, a breath of internal breath in the dantian suddenly rushed upward, and his limbs were like ants gnawing at them, and he was so angry that he looked up to the sky and roared, and the spear waved in the air, and he actually split a large piece of the stone pier on one side.
Ding Zhun knew that this person was almost crazy and sharp, so he hurriedly added fuel and vinegar and said, "It turns out that Miss Duan and Bai Ling are in love, so in this way, this Senior Brother Chen is just an outsider, just a self-inflicted amorous master." Bai Ling heard that Ding Zhun had the intention of sowing discord, but he was suffering from poor breath and unsmooth speech, which was difficult to refute.
Chen Juefei was really fooled, his eyes were red, the head of the gun pointed at Bai Ling, and said, "I'm an outsider? I, Chen Juefei, grew up with Yao'er since I was a child, and now I'm an outsider?
Ding Zhun was overjoyed, he couldn't imagine that it would be so easy to separate the three of them, and before he could add another fire, Chen Juefei couldn't bear it for a long time, and took Bai Ling's head with a gun, and immediately wanted to send him back to the West.
Bai Ling smiled bitterly in his heart, what is this called, after going around for a long time, he didn't die in the hands of Ding Zhun or Zhao Bing, but died under his own gun.
Chen Juefei was about to stab Bai Ling, but Duan Yao stabbed out obliquely, and suddenly blocked in front of Bai Ling. Chen Juefei was shocked, the spear hurriedly drew an arc, the spear head was deflected, and a shot stabbed on the stairs on Bai Ling's side, and suddenly sparks splashed, and the spear head was completely submerged in the stone, Chen Juefei was furious, this gun used ten percent of its strength.
Duan Yao's expression was unhesitating, his face was covered with a layer of frost, and he reprimanded, "Senior brother, I am already attached to him, if you want to kill him, kill me first." Chen Juefei's lips trembled when he heard this, he couldn't believe the facts in front of him, his eyes turned red instantly, and he almost burst into tears, but he still forcibly held back, thinking that he couldn't show weakness in front of Bai Ling.
Chen Juefei was silent for a long time, his chest was sour, he let out a long howl, and left helplessly to the east.
Ding Zhun secretly took a sip, he was expecting to kill Bai Ling and Duan Yao with a fake hand Chen Juefei first, and then easily get rid of them under the heavy blow to this person's mind, but the result was just to force Chen Juefei away, and he wasted so many tongues in vain.
Duan Yao felt guilty in his heart when he saw that the senior brother was in such pain, but in the current crisis, he couldn't care about being distracted. Picked up Bai Ling in his hand, tried his best to make a light effort, and ran to the city tower.
Ding Zhun snorted coldly, what kind of light work do you chick, how can I, Ding Zhun, let you escape, not to mention that you are also a loser. So he chased after him, strode up, took several steps, and caught up with Duan Yao in a few steps, and raised his hand to grab her shoulder. When Duan Yao saw him coming, he couldn't dodge it with Bai Ling, so he hurriedly used a move with his right hand "Purple Qi from the East", and the long sword slashed from the bottom to the top, cutting Ding Zhun shoulder socket. Ding Zhun secretly screamed yes, changed the grab to a slap, and slapped his palms together, and slapped Duan Yao's back vest at the same time. Duan Yao also changed in response to the move, and used the sword sect to learn the "phaseless sword technique", and the long sword cut Ding Zhun's elbows. Ding Zhun sighed, retracted his palms, and the chain of bullet legs on his feet came out frequently, he never thought that Duan Yao was like an unpredictable prophet, no matter where she kicked her kick from any direction, she could immediately swing her sword into place, pointing directly at her own vital point, and the chain of bullet legs was less than half, so she could only take it back. The more Ding Zhun fought, the more frightened he became, what kind of way did this chick do, martial arts were so evil, every move could see through his own moves in advance, and point to his own point, you must know that when she fought just now, this woman didn't have this kung fu.
It turned out that Bai Ling was weak, and he couldn't fight back with a sword, but Gao Shan Jin saw Ding Zhun's every move clearly. Immediately reminded Duan Yao in his ear, how to use the sword, where to stab the sword. Duan Yao didn't think much about it, no matter what Bai Ling said, she would use the sword, who expected it to have a miraculous effect, that Ding Zhun broke every move by himself, such a martial arts master couldn't help himself with a few moves, Duan Yao was very surprised. And what surprised Duan Yao even more was that what Bai Ling said in his mouth was clearly the move of the Phaseless Sword Technique, and the Phaseless Sword Technique was the stunt of the Sword Sect, not to mention Bai Zero, even the disciples and even the sect masters of other sects didn't know, but where did he know about it.
Lu Daoming saw Duan Yao helping Bai Ling all the way up to the city tower, and Ding Zhun made frequent moves in the back, but the three of them reached the top of the building, and Ding Zhun couldn't take down the two, so he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. Hurriedly ordered all the Zhao army to rush towards the city tower.
On the city tower, Ding Zhun made another move "Flower Shadow Hand", this move was fast and skillful, and he put it on Duan Yao's shoulder, and just wanted to unload her shoulder blade with his hand, Duan Yao made another move "No Phase and No Fog", slashing Ding Zhun's left shoulder, and the intention of the move was all over. Ding Zhun naturally didn't want to lose both, so he could only let go of Duan Yao's shoulders and dodge with a short body, but he didn't know that his dodge path was all understood by Duan Yao, the sword light flashed, and the long sword followed Ding Zhun's body into the move, and with a stab, Ding Zhun was hit with a sword on his buttocks. Ding Zhun covered his buttocks, roared like a pig, stood unsteadily under his feet, and rolled downstairs with a grunt.
Duan Yao wiped a handful of sweat and said happily, "Bai Ling, you are so powerful, even Na Ding Zhun is not an opponent." Where did you learn swordsmanship, I don't know how many changes there are. But no one answered the question, and when he looked back, he saw that Bai Ling had lost too much blood, and he was already confused and delirious. Duan Yao panicked, carried Bai Ling out of the city tower, and continued to run along the city wall, running for a while, Duan Yao was carrying the man after all, his physical strength was exhausted, and he fell.
Behind him, Zhao soldiers rushed over, densely packed, overwhelming, and the city walls, city towers, and city buildings were all blocked. The two of them were in a desperate situation at this time, and it was difficult to fly. Duan Yao laughed miserably, recalling in his mind that he and Bai Ling had gone from acquaintance, to misunderstanding, to today's expression of his heart, and every bit passed by like a marquee.
Lu Daoming got up to the city wall, stood out from the sergeants, and said to Duan Yao, "Miss Duan, it is really not my wish to come to this point. I, Lu Daoming, am not an unreasonable person, I still mean that, as long as Qianjimen is willing to serve me, and you kill this stinky boy who causes trouble everywhere, I should not have happened today, my Lu family will be good with Qianjimen practitioners in the future, let's try to dominate the industry together, how about it?"
Duan Yao didn't look up, he didn't seem to hear Lu Daoming's words, and suddenly the long sword in his hand was thrown sharply, flying towards Lu Daoming. The shield warriors on both sides of Lu Daoming hurriedly stepped forward, knocked the long sword into the air, and fell straight down the city wall. Duan Yao looked at the fallen long sword in a daze, looked back at Bai Ling, showed his hand and gently stroked Bai Ling's cheek, and said, "Bai Ling, today is my most alive day, do you know, if there is an afterlife, I, Duan Yao, will definitely continue to have a relationship with you." ”
After Duan Yao finished speaking, he picked up Bai Ling and jumped down from the city wall to the outside of the pass, and all the soldiers were instantly stunned.
