No. 141 Sword Jianghu: Crisis
Northwest Pole, Tomb of the Young King...
After five days of hard struggle, Chi Lian and his party finally dug a gap in the collapsed Shaowang Mausoleum underground palace, and then the group climbed out of it one by one.
Of course, in these five days, due to various reasons, some people died, and of the original four or five hundred black-clothed guards, there were less than fifty people still alive at the moment!
Among them, some were killed by the thunderbolt pills thrown by Zhang Jie in the underground palace that day, and some were seriously injured by the explosion at that time, and then died of their injuries! However, the most important reason for the death of so many people was that they were killed by Chi Lian!
The reason is very simple, that is, the underground palace at that time completely collapsed, and there was not a single gap between it and the outside, and the air was naturally extremely limited! In order to ensure that his air was sufficient, Chi Lian killed many black-clothed guards!
This kind of method must be said to be extremely cruel!
Although Broken Waves did not agree with this approach, at that time, Broken Waves Sword was injured, and he really couldn't control Chi Lian's actions, so he could only watch Chi Lian kill the killer!
Five days later, fresh air finally poured into the dungeon, which also brought a ray of light to those buried inside.
Breathing the freshness of the fresh air again, Li Muyang couldn't help but have a feeling of rebirth after the catastrophe.
But Xu Yuan and Chi Lian looked worried, discussing the next thing with each other!
It's a broken wave, still silent, and doesn't express any opinions!
Li Muyang tidied up his clothes that had become a little dirty, walked in front of Chi Lian, and said with a sneer: "You Yunxue City is a play, but you have failed to act!"
Chi Lian's face changed sometimes blue and sometimes red, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Xu Yuan coughed dryly twice, and said in a low voice: "Jade Sword Shura, we in Cloud Snow City will definitely give you an explanation for this matter!"
"Okay!" Li Muyang still had a sneering expression, "I'll see what you can explain!"
"As long as they don't enter the customs, they will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of Cloud Snow City!" Chi Lian said coldly.
"That's great, then I'll wait for good news!" Li Muyang said and turned away, ignoring Chi Lian and the others.
Chi Lian snorted coldly, and then turned his head to look at the broken waves who were standing on the side with a silent face.
"Broken Waves, what do you think about this?"
Broken Lang slowly raised his head, looked at Chi Lian, and said slowly: "I just take care of it, I won't care about other things, and I don't want to care!"
"You..."
Chi Lian was so angry by the broken waves that he couldn't speak for a while!
"Ahem, don't make any noise yet!" Xu Yuan said in a deep voice, "They must be in a hurry to enter the customs after they come out, and we will chase all the way south, and we will definitely gain something!"
Chi Lian nodded, and then took the lead towards the south.
After going all the way, Chilian and his party came to Kunshan City.
At the Kunshan Inn, they met the five Huoyun Guards who were still there!
At this moment, the five Huoyunwei had already woken up, and they were planning with each other how to go back, and they happened to meet Chi Lian and the others who came over, so they told all the things they had met with Zhang Peng and the three of them here a few days ago, and also told the news that Duolong had been taken away by Zhang Peng and a few people!
Chi Lian, who learned the news, quickly figured out Zhang Peng's intentions, so a bone-chilling chill welled up on his face.
"They must let this Doron wash away their grievances for them, this Dolon will definitely not be able to enter the customs alive!
"Yes!"
Hearing Chi Lian's order, a black-clothed guard agreed, and then walked out of the Kunshan Inn, found an open place, and sent out a fire cloud arrow towards the dark sky, and the fire cloud arrow went straight into the sky, exploding a dazzling red light in the dark sky!
The Fire Cloud Arrow is actually a way used by the people in Cloud Snow City to transmit signals, and its function is somewhat similar to the beacon tower in the battlefield. After being fired, the Fire Cloud Arrow can reach nearly a hundred feet into the air, explode there, and emit a dazzling light. There are three kinds of light of the Fire Cloud Arrow, one is a white light, which means that the city lord Duo Ze summons, all Cloud Snow City
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The second type is the yellow light, which means that everyone is on standby, and no one can act without authorization! The third type is the red light, which means that there is a very urgent situation, everyone must be careful and vigilant, fight their own battles, and when they encounter suspicious people, they would rather kill by mistake than let go!
And there are only three people who are qualified to launch the Fire Cloud Arrow, one is the City Lord Zejun of Cloud Snow City, one is the Great Commander of the Fire Cloud Guard, Chi Lian, and the other is a Cloud Snow City master who is authorized by the City Lord to do things outside!
The light of the Fire Cloud Arrow is extremely penetrating, especially on this endless desert, and it can be clearly seen in a radius of hundreds of miles, which is also the best reason to use the Fire Cloud Arrow as a signal transmission!
After firing the Fire Cloud Arrow, Chi Lian carefully inquired about the situation of the day again.
"Duo Long is greedy for life and afraid of death, he will definitely take them to the shortest way, according to the time, they should have arrived near the Cloud Gate Post Station at this moment, as for whether they will stay, it is unknown!" Chi Lian said in a deep voice.
Xu Yuan said faintly: "They will definitely stay at the Cloud Gate Station!"
"Oh! why?" asked Chi Lian.
Xu Yuan smiled gloomily, and slowly opened his mouth and said: "After driving a hundred miles, they are physically and mentally exhausted, and they need to rest! Moreover, they need to return to the Central Plains even more, and it is absolutely impossible for them to rely on their legs! With Zhang Peng's temperament, he will definitely find an opportunity to rest and adjust his state by all means! He is not a fool, and he knows that the further south he goes, the more dangerous it is!"
Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Chi Lian nodded slowly, and a sly smile appeared on his face.
"As soon as the fire cloud arrow comes out, it will be difficult for Zhang Peng to fly with your wings!
After that, Chi Lian and the others didn't delay for a moment, and led people to chase in the direction of Cloud Gate Post Station overnight!
...
Cloud Snow City, inside the six-fold iron gate!
In the center of the Yunxue school field, Zejun was lazily half-leaning on a rocking chair, covered with a blanket, while Zejun was raising his head, his deep eyes were flickering and dark, and he couldn't see half of his emotions, as if he was admiring the night sky of the desert!
Behind Zejun's chair, there was a row of people in black, exactly ten people, these were Zejun's personal guards, whenever Zejun was alone, they would appear by Zejun's side, ready to stand by at any time!
"Smack!"
A red light suddenly came from the northwest, followed by a slight explosion.
Seeing this, Zejun's body trembled suddenly, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
Then a solemn look appeared on Zejun's pale face.
Quiet, unusually quiet, lasted for half a cup of tea!
"Pass the order, let all the Huoyunwei and Yunxue City masters in the city go out, from the Yunmen Post Station to the south to the pass, ten miles and one post, one battalion in one hundred miles, the red fire cloud arrow is the number, the number one is out, and the support will be provided immediately!
A series of commands slowly came out of Duo Ze's mouth.
"Yes!"
A man in black standing behind him, after receiving the order, his figure flashed, and he disappeared in place, the speed was staggering!
"Bang! bang!"
Zejun's fingers slowly tapped the armrest of the chair, knocking out a regular rhythm!
"Also, after ordering Yan Hong, take the two teams of Huoyunwei to immediately set off to the Cloud Gate Station, tonight at the third watch, be sure to arrive, and observe along the way!
"Yes!"
Another man in black took the order and disappeared in place.
After all these orders were passed out, Zejun relaxed his body again and lay back on the rocking chair lazily! His eyes slowly closed, and then he exhaled a long breath from his mouth!
"The boiled duck actually flew, Zhang Peng, I really underestimated you!"
...
Cloud Gate Station.
Zhang Peng and the four of them entered the post station in the evening, and Duolong greeted them, but the proprietress did not embarrass Zhang Peng and the three of them too much.
Although he didn't say anything, his eyes did
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It's been circling back and forth on Zhang Peng's three people, as if they want to see something.
For unnecessary trouble, after Zhang Peng and the four of them entered the Cloud Gate Station, they directly asked for a room and lived in, and did not stay in the lobby, for fear of extraneous branches!
It was the middle of the night, and the proprietress was sitting at the counter on the first floor, holding her chin with her hand, not knowing what she was thinking.
A guy walked over slowly with a pot of wine and whispered, "Boss, I already sent the wine just now, but they didn't drink it, and they returned it again!"
As he spoke, he raised the flask in his hand to the proprietress and signaled that this was the returned wine!
The proprietress sneered, opened her mouth and said, "I've thought of it a long time ago, it's not easy to drug them, they must have a problem!"
In fact, this pot of wine was deliberately sent by the proprietress to the guy, and the wine has been drugged, and the proprietress wants to use this pot of wine to overturn Zhang Peng and the four of them!
As for why they wanted to drug Zhang Peng and the four of them, the reason was very simple, that is, not long after Zhang Peng and the four of them came to the store, a burst of red light suddenly appeared in the desert sky. The proprietress knew in her heart that it was a red fire cloud arrow! Knowing that something big must have happened, and Zhang Peng's four people's dressing behavior was so suspicious, holding the principle that they would rather kill by mistake than let go, the proprietress wanted to find an opportunity to capture Zhang Peng and the four of them!
It's just that they didn't expect that Zhang Peng's four people's precautionary heart would be so heavy, and they didn't even drink wine! As for the food, they didn't want it at all! Presumably, Zhang Peng and the four of them must have eaten dry food that they brought!
"Huzi, keep an eye on them! I think it won't be long before someone will come to reinforce them!" a sneer appeared in the boss's eyes!
"Hey!"
The guy named Huzi said yes, turned around and left the counter!
In the room, Zhang Peng, Zheng Yingjun and Zhang Jie were sitting cross-legged on the kang to rest, while Duolong was lying on the side and falling asleep!
"Peng, what did that red light in the sky mean just now?"
Not long after the Fire Cloud Arrow was issued, Zheng Yingjun couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and spoke.
Zhang Peng was already frowning at the moment, and turned his head to look at Duolong, who was sleeping soundly next to him.
Zhang Jie stretched out his hand and patted Duolong's head, and Duolong turned over and sat up.
"What's wrong, what's going on?" shouted Doron, looking around.
Zhang Jie reached out and patted Duolong again, which made Duolong quiet.
"What's wrong?" asked Dorlon, confused.
Zhang Peng saw that Duolong was awake, his face was straight, and he said, "Let me ask you, do you know what it means that there is a sudden red light in the sky?"
"What? Someone sent a fiery cloud arrow!"
Doron screamed and jumped to his feet.
Zheng Yingjun frowned and shouted, "Can you give Lao Tzu a little stability!"
Duo Long swallowed a mouthful of spit, and hurriedly said: "I can't be stable! Master Zhang, we are in a catastrophe! As soon as the Huoyun Arrow comes out, it can be seen in the desert outside the gate, and then there will be many masters dispatched from Yunxue City, as long as there is a trace of suspicious people, it will definitely be killed!"
Duolong was already panicking at the moment, and Zhang Peng frowned even more after hearing this!
Zhang Jie hurriedly said, "Peng?"
Zhang Peng suddenly waved his hand to interrupt Zhang Jie's words, and said in a low voice: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, clean up, let's leave immediately!"
"But... But what about the horses, if we rely on two legs, we will surely die!" said Doron with a shudder.
A trace of hideousness flashed on Zheng Yingjun's face, and he said jokingly: "What should I do? Of course, he rode away!"
"Let's go!"
After Zhang Peng finished speaking, he took the lead in covering the black veil, and then jumped off the fire kang, and after everyone else covered the black veil, he walked towards the door, and at the moment when Zhang Peng opened the door, a smiling face with heavy makeup appeared in front of Zhang Peng, who was the proprietress of Yunmen Station!
"Oh, I said, this brother, where are you going in such a hurry?"
As soon as the proprietress finished speaking, I saw a terrifying cold light flashing in Zhang Peng's eyes under the black veil!
