Chapter 115: Blood Feathers Fall Goshawk
But there is a team of armor soldiers wielding knives to slash Zhong Liqiu, Zhong Liqiu is holding a frisbee and desperately blocking it, the long knife is stuck in the flywheel, all the armor soldiers shout killing, and push Zhongli Qiu back, even though Zhongli Qiu's strength is great, but after all, two fists are invincible to four hands, and he retreats again and again, his eyes are cracked, his throat is dry and hoarse, and he is covered in blood. Suddenly, a soldier slashed at Zhong Liqiu's back, Zhong Liqiu couldn't dodge, he was stabbed in the back, blood dripped down, Zhong Liqiu's face turned pale, he clenched his teeth, and struggled to support.
Just as he shouted violently, swung the flywheel, shook back the armor in front of him, and wanted to turn around to fight the person behind him, the armor warrior behind him rushed up again, and slashed at Zhong Liqiu's back, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the blood flowed like an infusion, Zhong Liqiu's upper body was already tattered, soaked with blood, peeling off, revealing the red lotus tattoo on his body. Zhong Liqiu gulped out blood, stared at his eyes and frowned, turned around and threw the flywheel in his hand, the flywheel passed, his head fell to the ground, blood gushed like a spring, Zhongliqiu had no weapon in his hand, and his body was full of scars. Hearing the shouts of killing behind him, he staggered and turned around, and swung his fist, about to fight, but the group of armor soldiers suddenly dispersed, and a long group of spearmen rushed out from behind them, and threw the spears in their hands violently.
Several spears shouted cold light and flew over, Zhong Liqiu only felt that his eyes were in a trance, full of double vision, and under the sun, except for a piece of blood red, he couldn't see anything clearly. When he saw the head of the spear clearly, there was a pop, his chest had been pierced by the spear, his mind was blank, his whole body was weak, and his legs were weak, and he sat down on his knees. When the spearmen ran in front of him, Zhong Liqiu was already dead of anger, but he didn't blink his eyes, his eyes were slightly open, and he sat on his knees refusing to fall. The spearmen pulled out their spears, and the splash of blood splashed them all over, and also dyed the karmic red lotus into a bright scarlet.
"Second brother!" Xuanyi, Yuli, Liangge, Jiang Jiang saw that Zhong Liqiu had died in battle, and cried loudly.
"Second brother!" Sima Xuan, as the eldest brother, watched his brothers and sisters die one by one, his heart was like a knife, he was full of grief, and finally couldn't bear it, tears appeared in his eyes, he screamed, broke the rope that bound his hands, and punched the armor in front of him, the internal force exploded, shattering the iron armor, Sima Xuan flew up again, swept over, and knocked down a piece of armor. Xuanyi retreated again and again, waving the long knife of the armor soldier in front of him, forcing each other hard, Sima Xuan saw this, hurried over, waved his iron fist, swept a piece of armor, and protected Xuanyi behind him. "Big brother!" Xuan Yi shouted. Sima Xuan repelled the armor in front of him, turned to Xuanyi and said, "Xiaoyi, you hurry up and leave this place, go to the Central Plains, and never come back!"
Before Xuanyi could answer, Sima Xuan's face changed drastically, and he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, it turned out that he was stabbed in the back, so he turned around and kicked the head of the armorer who sneaked up on him, kicking the skull to pieces and bursting out of the brain. But Sima Xuan stumbled and almost fell, and Xuanyi was about to step forward to help, but was pushed away by Sima Xuan.
At this time, Yuli and Liangge were attacked on their backs, surrounded by spearmen and sword-wielding armorers, the small figure of the two daughters was covered by the shadow of the armorers, and the bright long knife was cut off on the head, Yuli leaned down, swept with one leg, and supported it with her arms, jumped up lightly, Liangge caught her arms, Yuli stepped on the chest of the armorers, and kicked a circle of armorers to the ground, but the two of them gradually became exhausted and unable to do anything, but the group of armorers went forward and followed, endlessly.
Jiang Jiangtian has also been fighting bloody for a long time, covered in blood, not only his own, but also those armor. He is accustomed to marksmanship, his fists and feet are naturally worse, and he desperately grabbed a spear, and he wanted to sweep it out, but he was stabbed into the lower abdomen by a knife, bleeding nonstop, and the spear in his hand also rolled to the ground. Jiang Jiangtian struggled to kick the armorer out a few feet, grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands, pulled out the knife in his abdomen suddenly, and a terrible scream pierced the sky, Jiang Jiangtian's abdomen had an extra hole, and the blood poured like water, Jiang Jiangtian's head became more and more dizzy, and gradually lost his sense of pain, his body shook, more and more heavy, and his steps were chaotic, and he was about to fall to the ground.
The pikemen behind him swarmed up, several spears pierced Jiang Jiangtian's limbs, and he was pushed up, and several spears stabbed upwards from the back, and the silver-white spears penetrated Jiang Jiangtian's lower abdomen, blood rained down, staining the face of the spearmen, Jiang Jiang leaned into a convex shape, his eyes stared, and he died of exhaustion, the transparent hole in the abdomen could already see the internal organs, but the poor butterfly wind gun died so miserably. The spearmen withdrew their spears again, and Jiang Jiangtian's body immediately fell to the ground and was trampled by everyone.
Yuli and Liangge were still filling in with the endless stream of spearmen around them, the two of them were panting, their arms were sore, and they had many scars on their bodies, but they were afraid that the combination of these two would be too strong, and everyone froze in place for a while and did not dare to move forward. And Yuli really couldn't stand, so she knelt down and sat down, Liang Ge was about to help her up, and the spearmen knew that the two were indeed exhausted, so they saw the opportunity to rush up, dozens of spears came from all directions, and dozens of holes were rubbed into the two women's bodies, and the two women hugged each other tightly, drenched in blood, and fell into a pool of blood together, closing their eyes.
At this time, the top ten warriors of the Eagle Clan were only Sima Xuan and Xuanyi, who were wounded. Although Sima Xuan was already injured, he was still holding back the soldiers to create a chance for Xuanyi to leave, but those officers and soldiers had already blocked the water around this place, how could they escape. Moreover, Sima Xuan, as the eldest brother, naturally had the highest martial arts, and he repelled dozens of armor soldiers and spearmen with the strength of one person, and no one dared to come forward to fight him again. Seeing this, Emperor Zhongping shouted again: "Where are the archers!"
When the spearmen and armorers heard this, they scattered, Sima Xuan hurriedly turned around, grabbed Xuanyi's arms and said, "Don't leave now, but when!" Xuanyi was already in tears, his eyes were red and swollen, and when he heard this, he shook his head desperately and said: "No! Big brother, I'm not leaving! No, Xiaoyi, you are our only hope, with your light skills, you will definitely be able to fly away, remember, when you go to the Central Plains, you must live well, never come back, don't care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, live well for us!"
At this time, the archers had already been deployed, bent their bows and arrows, and Emperor Zhongping gave an order, and ten thousand arrows were fired at the same time, shooting at Sima Xuan and the two. Sima Xuan knew that he was already in a catastrophe, his brothers and sisters had died in battle, and he had no regrets in his death, but this Xuanyi had not escaped yet, hearing the whizzing arrows behind him, Sima Xuan ignored Xuanyi's opposition, shouted violently, exerted his arms, threw Xuanyi into the air, flashed the rain of arrows, Xuanyi subconsciously turned a somersault, stepped on the wall, made light work, and flew away from the mountain.
But Sima Xuan turned around laughing, opened his arms, and greeted the ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, the arrow rain fell, piercing Sima Xuan's front, the dense arrows pierced Sima Xuan into a hedgehog, ten thousand arrows pierced the heart, Sima Xuan's tall figure fell down with a bang, and it was already a blur of flesh and blood. The top ten warriors of the Chaoying Clan, except for one Xuanyi who escaped down the mountain, Yanxin, Yiran, Jinyu, and the four women of the mountain ghost died in the hands of Xiao Wuxian in the Central Plains, while Sima Xuan, Zhong Liqiu, Yuli, Liangge, and Jiang Jiangtian died under the knife of the Chaoying Clan's own people, with corpses all over the ground and rivers of blood, how tragic.
The spearmen and archers retreated, and the remaining guards with swords and heavy armor scattered again, lining up the corpses of Sima Xuan and others, Emperor Zhongping was furious, and slowly walked to the front of the corpses of everyone, and ordered someone to get torches, Emperor Zhongping personally threw the torches on the corpses of everyone, the fire spread, the disgusting smell of incineration corpses dispersed, black smoke rose into the sky, and the dancing flames burned the clothes and flesh, leaving only the dark bones, and there was a dead silence outside the palace. The ministers dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they had to sigh again and again, and Emperor Zhongping was still angry, so he said to the guards beside him: "These people, even if they are dead, do not deserve to be buried in the land of the Chaoying Clan." Come on, take all the family members of Sima Xuan and others into custody, and behead them together three days later to show the public, as an example. Let's see who else dares to communicate with foreign countries in the future, and the following will be committed!"
The guard beside him arched his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, is the fleeing Xuanyi going to leave and send someone to search for him?" ”
Emperor Zhongping executed the family members of these people, and he was in a good mood, so he waved his hand and said, "No need, she has been seriously injured and will die soon." Besides, a mere Xuanyi can't turn over any waves, can't set off any waves, and can't become a climate. Today's incident, I am really heartbroken, immediately drive back to the palace, I want to send a letter to the national teacher, discuss the next plan!"
Emperor Zhongping immediately got into the car and drove back to the palace.
And that Xuanyi ran all the way down the mountain, turned back from time to time, saw that no one was chasing, and his heart was relieved, there were only a few scattered houses at the foot of the mountain, and the road down the mountain was even more extensive, Xuanyi was groggy in his head, stumbled down the mountain, and he didn't know how long he walked, he didn't know where he went, he had an internal injury, his chest was painful, and his eyes were dark, and he fainted at the foot of the mountain.
After another two days, Dao Xueke and Luo Baiyi had already arrived outside the city of Tanglin Mansion, and the two of them entered the city without hesitation.
The sentinel reported that there should be no illness, and Ying Wujian heard in the palace that the two Dao Xueke had arrived at Tanglin Mansion, and Zhu Qingqiu and Ren Shanhuai were only a few dozen miles away from Tangling, so they sent Ying Wanli with a group of killers to stop Zhu Qingqiu and the two halfway. Ying Wanli asked: "Father, is it really necessary to deal with two traitors in such a big way?
"No, it's not a big deal at this time. Zhu Qingqiu and Ren Shanhuai joined forces, and their martial arts were not low. Besides, your safety is also very necessary, it is impossible for my father to watch you go on an adventure, these twenty people are carefully selected by me, with them, I can not only arrest Zhu Qingqiu and the others, but also keep you safe. Remember, you must only capture them alive, and never kill them. Ying Wujian commanded.
"Why is that?" asked Ying Wanli.
Ying Wujian prevaricated and said: "You don't have to ask about this, my father has his own arrangements." You just have to be careful. "Yes!" Ying Wanli gave up his hand, changed into a black brocade and gold-patterned brocade robe, and then carried a sword and led the killer to stop Zhu Qingqiu and the others. Ying Wujian called the guards at the gate again and asked him to send someone to closely monitor Dao Xueke and Luo Baiyi's every move in the city.
At the same time, Chu Qing'an had already arrived at the junction of the Central Plains and Southern Xinjiang, Luoyan Mansion. Legend has it that Luoyan Mansion is located at the junction of the Central Plains and Southern Xinjiang, there have been wars, countless casualties, corpses are all over the field, blood flows into a river, so although the city is built here, but the yin qi is extremely heavy, the flying geese can not pass, fall here, so it is called Luoyan Mansion. The people here have lived here for a long time, and they are all people who eat fasting and recite the Buddha, trying to bless the Buddha, drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, and pass them on from generation to generation, but have formed a custom. Chu Qing'an came here with a burden, and saw that there were few people on the street, and every house was equipped with Buddhist shrines, incense burners, and sacrifices at four o'clock to seek peace. There were not even hawkers on the street, and a few children were playing quietly, and when they saw Chu Qing'an coming, they all ran back to their respective homes.
The whole city was dead silent, like a dead city, lifeless, in addition to the whistling wind, there was also a faint sound of chanting from all directions, echoing in the ears, making people feel a chill in their hearts. Chu Qing'an stepped on the leaves that fell on the ground, the rustling sound was hidden in the wind, looking around but there was no one to see, but every household closed the doors and windows in broad daylight, Chu Qing'an was puzzled and a little afraid, so he quickened his pace.
And although this is a frontier, but in general with other state capitals, the governor's army and the frontier garrison are outside the city, and there are not many officers and soldiers in the city, and in the eyes of today's imperial court, the Chaoying clan has long been wiped out, and the southern Xinjiang has been pacified, and there has been no war for many years, and the guards are gradually sparsely guarded, even the guards are lazy and lazy. Everything here, Chu Qing'an felt strange in his eyes. And when Chu Qing'an walked out of the south gate of Luoyan Mansion and continued to go south, the guard guarding the city gate suddenly regained his spirit, and the two guards got together, looked at Chu Qing'an's distant back and said: "This person is carrying a sword, he dares to go out alone, he must be a person from the Central Plains Martial Arts, and he came to inquire about the news." Report it to your Excellency immediately, and report this matter to the Holy One as soon as possible!"
The two guards came to the Luoyan Mansion together, and the name of the Luoyan Mansion was Huo Xiaohuang, who was known as the Demon Suppressor. This person is the first batch of people to be raised at the beginning of the reign of Emperor Zhengguang. Huo Xiaohuang first went to high school to get a literary list, and then was admitted to Wu Tanhua, and he was the first civil and military all-round man since the founding of the country. He doesn't want a high-ranking official and a marquis, but he wants to leave the Beijing Division, and come all the way to this desolate border pass old city Luoyan Mansion to be a small Luoyan Mansion Yin, although the Chaoying clan has been leveled, Luoyan Mansion is dilapidated, but it is also an important border town, Huo Xiaohuang in the name of protecting the family and defending the country here is a ten-year-long official, Emperor Zhengguang has wanted to promote him several times, but he was politely refused.
And now Huo Xiaohuang is only in his thirties, and his appearance has been a little vicissitudes of life due to guarding the border all year round, but the eyebrows on his angular face are heroic, eagle-eyed and wolf-looking, and he clearly looks like a city government.
"Report, Lord Huo, the city gate guards have something to report. The official of the government came to report, Huo Xiaohuang was in the back hall to fold the approved documents aside, put the brush aside, and said, "Let them come in." Stand down first. Huo Xiaohuang summoned the two doormen to the hall, and at the same time removed the servants and guards inside and outside the inner hall, and the two doormen walked to the hall and knelt down together and said, "My subordinates knock to see Lord Yin." ”
Huo Xiaohuang took a sip of tea, looked at the two of them and asked slowly, "Why don't you two go to guard the city gate and run to the mansion?" The two knelt and reported. "It's just out of the city, why make a fuss?" Huo Xiaohuang asked. The two of them said again: "Didn't your lord order his subordinates and others to pay close attention to the people in the martial arts who went out of the city and entered the city? That woman has a sword hanging from her waist, and judging by her appearance, she should be a person from the Central Plains Martial Arts." Huo Xiaohuang's hand holding the teacup suddenly stopped when he heard the words, and thought to himself: "Didn't the Central Plains Martial Arts go to inquire about the situation?"
Huo Xiaohuang pondered for a moment, put down the teacup and said, "Okay, you two have made a great contribution, go to the account room to receive a reward of fifty taels of silver each." In the future, if there are suspected Central Plains martial arts people entering and leaving the city, they will come to report, and the government will be rewarded. "Thank you, thank you, your lord. The two of them prostrated themselves again and again in thanksgiving, and then withdrew from the church. And that Huo Xiaohuang thought for a while, spread out a piece of paper, picked up the pen and wrote: "Minister Huo Xiaohuang worships my emperor Zhongping Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." The ministers were ordered to sneak into the Central Plains to gain fame, confer knighthoods, and guard the wild goose, and it has been ten years in the blink of an eye. I sighed all night, looking forward to Wang Shi going north to unify the Central Plains, and the ministers would be the vanguard, expanding the territory for His Majesty, and laying a great cause for thousands of years. Now the Central Plains court is declining, the open and secret battles are continuous, the Zhengguang Emperor is abandoning the government, and the people are miserable, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Northern Expedition. The Central Plains martial arts dispute has risen again, and there is a fear that something will happen, and the prince of Tanglin should be very important to his subordinates and want to entrust him with important tasks. At that time, the ministers are inside, Your Majesty is outside, the inside should be combined with the outside, and the inside and outside will be attacked, and the Central Plains will be captured, and the world can be determined. And His Majesty ordered the ministers to closely monitor the movements of the Central Plains martial arts, and now the martial arts are rumored that the jade Buddha and jade bottles are all in the Tanglin Palace, and the ministers will definitely look for opportunities to get close to Ying Wujian and seize the two treasures. The Central Plains Wulin also sent people to the south, and the minister guessed that he must be going to inquire about the situation of our clan, so please pay attention to it, capture this person, and kill him to prevent future troubles. Chen Huo Xiaohuang said goodbye. ”
When he had finished writing, he put the brush aside, dried the ink, sealed the letter in a bamboo tube, tied it to the feet of an eagle that was parked aside, lifted the eagle out of the inner hall, touched its smooth feathers, and threw it into the air, and the eagle let out a long howl, spread its wings, and flew south.
And that Chu Qing'an was still continuing to the south, and suddenly there was an eagle roar above her head, and she looked up, and everywhere she looked, there were endless mountains.
