Chapter 406
Although the Zhu family was born in a family, the Zhu family was ordered by Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao to lie dormant in the deserted land, and they did all kinds of farm work since they were young. As for building houses, they are no strangers. Hearing Li Qiufeng speak, he shook his head and said, "Li Gongzi, this city tower looks extremely heavy, but it is not built casually. I have also been to the Forbidden City several times, and this tower is indeed the same as the Noon Gate. It's just that there are fewer soldiers patrolling, and there are no lanterns hanging under the eaves of the arrow tower in Taicheng. ”
And they looked again unto the tower. At this time, it seems that at dawn, the stars have not disappeared, and the east has just revealed the white of the fish's belly. There was silence all around, and there seemed to be thousands of troops hidden in the city, faintly revealing a very heavy murderous aura.
Situ Qiao said: "Let's not care what Yao Guangxiao is going to do with this city tower, let's go in and take a look." ”
Everyone was silent, and their hearts were a little uneasy. After Situ Qiao finished speaking, he didn't hear everyone's answer, so he couldn't help but turn around and look at everyone: "If you don't move forward, you can only retreat the way you started, what do you think?"
Everyone has a desire to retreat, but no one wants to say it. After listening to Situ Qiao's words, he couldn't help but look at Liu Yong. Liu Yong couldn't make up his mind for a while, and looked at Li Qiufeng again.
Li Qiufeng stared at the Wumen City Tower, and the thought in his heart turned sharply: "This city tower appears underground, it is indeed an extremely strange thing. With Yao Guangxiao's ability, this city tower is by no means a good place. However, if you want to return the same way at this time, even if you can safely pass through the bottomless abyss, it will not be easy to return to the cave from the Nasheng Gate. Even if they retreated, the army of the five military camps in the valley might not withdraw from the siege. At that time, he was still trapped in the cave. It's better to fight to the death, find a passage here, and solve the current crisis, which is the best policy. ”
Thinking of this, he said to Liu Yong: "Mr. Liu, when we arrived here, it can be said that we have found the most critical place where Yao Guangxiao built this cave back then. Although this castle tower is not a good place, it is not difficult to rely on the martial arts knowledge of your predecessors to get out of the way. In Li's opinion, it is the best policy to continue to move forward. ”
After Liu Yong heard this, he nodded and said to everyone: "Brother Li, what do you think of this idea?"
Deng Yao said: "Don't say what Li Daxia said. Since we have arrived here and have already touched Yao Guangxiao's buttocks, how can we easily retreat? If we escape back with our tails between our legs like this, how can we still have the face to meet the heroes of the world. I always told Hanako that her mind had been decided, but Mr. Liu and Mr. Li were the first to look forward. ”
Deng Yao opened his mouth, and the rest of the people also nodded yes. Qingfeng Daoren said with a smile: "Yao Guangxiao was a big man back then, if he is really as powerful as the legend, maybe he is still alive now, we will meet him for a while." ”
Situ Qiao was a little impatient, stomped his right foot on the ground twice, turned around and walked towards the tower. As soon as everyone saw Situ Qiao leave first, which one would be behind, they followed and walked forward.
At this time, everyone walked on a clearing, and there was no longer a need to line up like in the stone caves and the corridors. It is a long row of more than a dozen people, fanning towards the city tower.
The tower was already majestic from a distance, and the more people walked forward, the more they felt that the tower was majestic and majestic. The crowd walked forward for more than 20 zhang and walked between the two Taicheng on the left and right. At this point, the ground is no longer polished with rock, but a paved road made of large square bricks. Liu Yong said as he walked: "This is strange. This place is buried deep in the ground, and to transport this brick here, I don't know what method Yao Guangxiao used to do it. ”
Situ Qiao looked around as he walked, and after listening to Liu Yong's words, he said without looking back: "Judging from the topography here, although it has been artificially repaired, a cave of this scale must be made in heaven. Otherwise, it would be impossible for millions of people to dig up such a large space with manpower alone. The ground is so flat that it must have been bulldozed with a lot of rock, and the project is definitely not small. I wanted to come to Yao Guangxiao to take local materials and polish the shoveled stones into square bricks, which were used to build the city and lay the ground......"
Before he finished speaking, the place where his right foot stepped on suddenly softened, and then he only heard a "poof", and a square brick in the ground had collapsed. Situ Qiao's heart froze, and when he was about to retreat, his right foot had already sunk down.
This pit is not too deep, not as deep as Situ Qiao's knees. After his right foot sank, he stepped on a round thing in an instant. Due to the suddenness of the incident, it was too late for Situ Bridge to retract. He only felt that after stepping on the thing with his right foot, there seemed to be a soft "click" sound, and the thing under his feet had dropped a few points.
Situ Qiao was shocked, turned his head and shouted to everyone: "It's not good, there are organs here!"
Before he could speak, he could only hear the sound of "crackling" all around. Everyone is a good martial artist, and after hearing this voice, their faces changed greatly. Zhu Sanjia was born in the army, and he is most familiar with this voice. He shouted, "The enemy is attacking us with bows and arrows, everyone find a way to dodge!"
It's just that as soon as he finished saying this, countless feathered arrows on the left and right sides had already arrived in front of everyone. Fortunately, everyone was prepared, and each drew his sword to block the feather arrows. These people are all martial arts masters, although there are countless feather arrows that attacked, they were also knocked out by everyone. It's just that Zhu Sanjia didn't have a weapon on his body, so he had to use the torch in his hand to block the flying feather arrows. The torch was not as good as the sword, and he was a little slower to block it, and a feathered arrow pierced the circle where the torch was waving in his hand, and with a "poof" shot into his left chest.
The power of this arrow was so great, Zhu Sanjia was shocked, and he turned back and unloaded most of the power of this arrow. Rao was like this, the arrow still shot into an inch, and the injury was really not light. Zhu Sanjia endured the pain, held the arrow shaft with his left hand, and pulled it out with a force. A stream of blood immediately spurted out of the wound, and he hurriedly covered it with his left hand, and with his right hand he kept hitting the flying feather arrow with a torch.
When the feather arrow struck, Situ Qiao's right foot sank into the ground, and he naturally couldn't dodge the flying feather arrow for a while. Fortunately, Liu Yong followed behind him, and seeing that the situation was not good, he had already pulled out his long sword and circled around Situ Bridge. As he walked, he swung his sword and struck the attacking feathered arrows. Situ Qiao took the opportunity to pull his right leg out of the pit, and three feather arrows flew from the circle formed by Liu Yong's long sword, and they could be shot at Situ Qiao's front door.
At this critical moment, Situ Qiao didn't have time to think about it. I saw that the torch in his left hand was erected, and a flying feather arrow was nailed to the torch. His right hand came out of his big sleeve, and there was an extra steel grip a foot long in his hand. One end of this steel grip was put on Situ Qiao's hand, and the other end was shining with cold light. I saw that with a wave of his right hand, he made two "Zheng Zheng" sounds, and the two feather arrows that flew to the door in front of him flew out.
At this time, Li Qiufeng had already grabbed in front of Zhu Sanjia, and while helping him block the flying feather arrows, he asked him how his injuries were. Zhu Sanjia endured the pain in his chest, and said: "Li Gongzi, you can rest assured, my old Zhu Pi is thick and can't die for a while!"
Li Qiufeng was anxious, and inadvertently saw the steel grasp in Situ Qiao's hand, and his heart sank. Along the way, he fought Situ Qiao twice, but he never saw Situ Qiao use a blade. At this critical moment, Situ Qiao finally showed this unique weapon, which surprised Li Qiufeng.
Liu Yong saw that Zhu Sanjia was wounded by an arrow, and he said loudly while swinging his sword to hit the feather arrow: "Friends, Mr. Zhu was wounded by an arrow, and everyone formed a circle to protect him in the middle. ”
After everyone listened, they approached Zhu San's family while blocking the feather arrows. A moment later, everyone had surrounded Zhu Sanjia in the middle to help him resist the attack of the feather arrows. Moreover, after everyone formed a circle, they only had to block the oncoming feather arrows, and they no longer had to worry about the left and right sides and backs, and the pressure was reduced a lot.
After Zhu Sanjia was rescued, his body shook a few times, only to feel that the Venus was dancing in front of him, and half of his body was no longer obedient. He tried to see the situation around him, but his head was confused, and he secretly screamed in his heart, and he was about to speak, but his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground.
At that time, Liu Yong heard a "plop" sound, and hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw that Zhu Sanjia had already fallen straight to the ground. He was shocked, and while hitting the feather arrow, he said to Xu Chenghe, who was standing on his right side: "Mr. Zhu has fallen! I'll go take a look, please ask Master Xu to block this gap for me!"
Xu Chenghe agreed. Liu Yong's long sword swung and flew two feather arrows that came from him, and he suddenly took two steps back. Xu Chenghe's figure was like electricity, and he flashed half a step to the left, and immediately blocked the gap that Liu Yong retreated. The sword light in his hand Huo Huo blocked all the flying feather arrows.
Liu Yong saw that Xu Chenghe and the others had rearranged the formation, and there were no worries, so he hurriedly turned around and ran to Zhu Sanjia's side. At this time, Zhu Sanjia was lying face down on the ground, Liu Yong turned him over, and when he touched his hand, he felt that his body was cold, and he couldn't help but shiver at Ling Ling. After he turned Zhu Sanjia's body over, he looked through the starlight, but saw that Zhu Sanjia's face was covered with a layer of black gas. Liu Yong's heart sank, secretly thinking that this was clearly a symptom of being poisoned, but it was not the result of arrow wounds. He gently put Zhu Sanjia on the ground, and connected the seven big points on Zhu Sanjia's chest with his right hand to block the poisonous gas from invading the internal organs. Then he took out the porcelain bottle from his arms, took out two secret antidote pills made by the Huashan Sect, and stuffed them into Zhu Sanjia's mouth. It's just that at this time, Zhu Sanjia's whole body was already stiff, and although the pill fell into his mouth, he couldn't swallow it.
Liu Yong was in a hurry, so he had to pinch Zhu Sanjia's cheek with his left hand and press Zhu Sanjia's throat with his right hand. I only heard a "ho" sound from Zhu Sanjia's mouth, the Adam's apple rolled slightly, and the two pills in his mouth had been swallowed.
From Zhu San's arrows to Liu Yong's forcible feeding of the antidote pill into his mouth, it was just a matter of lightning and flint. Li Qiufeng secretly calculated in his heart while brandishing the embroidered spring knife to hit the flying feather arrow, and found that the arrow had been shot four rounds before and after. He thought to himself: "This arrow was shot from the Taicheng on both sides at first, and later it also came from the Taicheng in front and the stone wall behind him. I don't think it's due to manpower, but after triggering the mechanism, the machine is activated, and the feather arrows are shot from all directions. If it is caused by the mechanism, after a few rounds of shooting, after all the feather arrows installed in the standby bracket have been fired, there is no need to worry. ”
Sure enough, after the seventh round of feathered arrows was fired, no feathered arrows were fired around. Li Qiufeng breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look, but saw that Liu Yong had just given the pill to Zhu Sanjia to take, and was about to put him back on the ground. Li Qiufeng turned around and asked as he walked towards the two of them, "Mr. Liu, how is Brother Zhu's injury?"
Liu Yong replied while flattening Zhu Sanjia's body: "Mr. Zhu's arrow is poisonous. His injuries were not serious, but the poison was severe. Although I gave him the Huashan Sect's antidote pill, I don't know if it works......"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard strange voices around him. This time, it was different from the sound when Fang Caiyu's arrow came, it was an extremely low "whining" sound. Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and he looked to the left for the sound. Under the starlight, a silver light flew straight from the middle Taicheng and attacked Deng Yao, the leader of the beggar gang facing the middle Taicheng.
Deng Yao saw that the silver light was coming in a hurry, and it was too late to dodge. What's more, if he dodges, there will be a gap in the defensive circle formed by everyone. At that time, I am afraid that the unsuspecting group of heroes will have casualties. Thinking of this, Deng Yao knew that this silver light was coming urgently, but he still bit his teeth, waved the stick in his hand, and smashed it straight on the flying silver light.
