Chapter Eighty-Eight: Treading the Snow to Find Plums, Plum Fragrance Is Nowhere to Be Found

It turned out that his real name was Zeng Lang.

My heart ached.

I only heard Yang Ruogu laugh: "Qilin Sha Zeng Lang! I have heard the name for a long time! I saw it today, I really have a good spirit!"

Zeng Lang's face was calm, and he only said coldly: "Lord Yang, you don't have to bother talking. Let's do it. After saying that, he tore off his shirt with one hand, revealing the layers of green yarn wrapped around his arms.

Yang Ruogu's expression changed, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of officers and soldiers surrounded Zeng Lang.

Zeng Lang shouted, and the green yarn on his arms instantly soared into the air.

The surrounding fire was dazzling, reflecting the cold light of the sword.

Yang Ruogu gave an order, and the officers and soldiers held swords flashing with cold light, and rushed towards Zeng Lang one after another.

Zeng Lang's face was not afraid, and he only danced the green yarn with his arms fiercely.

The green yarn is soft, but in Zeng Lang's hands, it is extremely tough. No matter how sharp the sword is, as long as it touches the green yarn, it will be immediately cut into two pieces by the green yarn.

The green yarn swept left and right, and the surrounding officers and soldiers quickly lay down in a large area, unable to get close.

Yang Ruogu was a little surprised, looked at Zeng Lang with cold eyes, and slowly took down a longbow from his back.

A few years ago, he fought with the Dahe clan in Yingzhou, Yang Ruogu killed countless enemies with a cloud-piercing arrow, and his prestige was shocked, which still makes the Khitan people fearful.

Yang Ruogu put on the arrow string and pulled the bow. In an instant, an arrow pierced the sun like a long rainbow, heading towards Zeng Lang.

Zeng Lang heard the sound of the bow and arrow, and knew that the fierce enemy was coming. He jerked around and withdrew the green yarn from his hand. With Zeng Lang shouting, his hands turned, and the two-zhang long green yarn was like turning into a long stick, sweeping towards the flying arrow.

I only heard the sound of sharp gold and stone colliding, and the arrow was knocked out.

Yang Ruogu's cloud-piercing arrow was amazingly powerful and weighed more than 100 catties, but it was shot down by Qingsha at this time. This finger-wrapping green yarn, in Zeng Lang's hands, is like a hundred steel.

Yang Ruogu was shocked, he didn't hesitate, quickly pulled out three long arrows from his back, and shot them with a bow.

In an instant, the three arrows were already approaching Zeng Lang's side.

Zeng Lang's face was still sinking like water, but he just clenched the green yarn in his hand, his body flipped, and he walked among the three arrows.

After sweeping and blowing, the three flying arrows still did not hurt Zeng Lang in the slightest.

But Zeng Lang was secretly frightened.

Picking off the cloud-piercing arrow has consumed a lot of internal force from Zeng Lang. At this time, he was already surging with blood and gasping.

But more cloud-piercing arrows, like life chasers, surging with the momentum of destruction.

Zeng Lang slammed the long stick made of green yarn to the ground, like a god, standing facing the sword rain.

Standing not far away, I couldn't help but feel anxious when I saw Zeng Lang in danger, and subconsciously shouted: "Zeng Lang, be careful!"

Hearing only a buzz, the green yarn in Zeng Lang's hand was shaken off, and the two green yarns formed a cyan barrier in front of Zeng Lang.

The rain of swords fell one after another in front of the cyan barrier, but none of them penetrated the green veil.

Yang Ruogu was furious, shouted loudly, flew forward, jumped into the air, tried his best, and bent his bow to shoot.

This cloud-piercing arrow fell from the sky and tore through the cyan gauze screen, hitting Zeng Lang's right shoulder.

Zeng Lang was exhausted at this time, turned over and fell to the ground, blood flowing from his shoulder.

I mourned in my heart, and ran over desperately, trying to help Zeng Lang up.

But I didn't have a chance to run to Zeng Lang's side.

The officers and soldiers armed with swords quickly surrounded him.

The strange thing is that these officers and soldiers don't seem to have a chance to get close to Zeng Lang's side.

Zeng Lang's side, suddenly like a ghost, a few people appeared.

The first one, short and fat, is the black face that Zeng Lang called the eldest brother.

It seems that the people of the Nine Shadows have arrived.

Yang Ruogu snorted coldly and said sharply: "Nine shadows do many unrighteousness, and people and gods are angry. Now that the nine of you have arrived today, this official will do the right thing for the heavens!"

The black face was even more hideous, and he said in a loud voice: "Lord Yang, we are nine brothers, and we only want to live and die together." You want my brother's life, and see if you have what it takes. ”

With that, the black face slashed from his waist, and a nine-section whip was held in his hand.

The black face is called the soul whip by the people of the rivers and lakes, and the whip is made of poisonous snakes and snake teeth as thorns, and the people who are injured by the poisonous whip are mostly tortured by the snake venom and die.

At this time, the black face waved his nine-section whip with a crackling sound, and the surrounding officers and soldiers fell to the ground one after another, groaning in pain.

Several other people in Jiuyou also showed their weapons one after another and fought with the officers and soldiers.

In the blink of an eye, the more than 100 officers and soldiers who surrounded Jiuyou were almost completely killed and wounded.

The black face looked up to the sky and laughed recklessly: "Yang Ruogu, what can you do with me?"

I saw Yang Ruogu's eyes erupt with fire, his silver teeth clenched, and he waved his hand with a gloomy face. The remaining remnants of the army quickly withdrew back.

The black face was even more rampant, with a wide open mouth and a strange laugh.

But soon, his smile froze on his face.

Because he saw Yang Ruogu behind him, hundreds of people came out in a line. These hundreds of people were all heavy soldiers with shields and spears in their hands and armor.

Yang Ruogu was wounded on the battlefield and returned to the field, but he brought the former method of governing the army to Qingyang City. Kankan trained the Qingyang defenders into a male soldier who could go to the battlefield.

Now Yang Ruogu actually used this male army to deal with Jiuyou, which shows his determination to destroy Jiuyou.

The heavy armor lined up, quickly connecting the shields together and forging an impregnable embankment. The second platoon of soldiers marched forward briskly and made an offensive. Suddenly, the fire was blazing. It turned out to be hundreds of rockets, shooting in the direction of Jiuyou at the same time.

Blackface was already scared out of his mind. He shouted in a panic: "Quick, get out!"

The psychological defense line of the Nine Shadows has been broken, and they have no intention of fighting, and they immediately disperse as birds and beasts. As they struggled to fend off the rockets, they fled in the direction of the pine forest. But soon, several people in the Nine Shadows fell to the ground with rockets in their bodies.

Yang Ruogu waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Chase! Today's Nine Shadows, all of them are correcting the Fa on the spot!"

The heavily armored soldiers scattered one after another, and a large number of vigorously armored soldiers flew out from behind, chasing in the direction of the pine forest.

In my heart, I think of the injured Zeng Lang. I don't know where the courage came from, but I also took advantage of the chaos to follow the soldiers and look for it in the pine forest.

As soon as I entered the pine forest, I saw several Jiuyou, who fell to the ground and fell to the law, and died tragically.

I trembled with fear in my heart and stepped forward to identify them one by one.

It wasn't until I confirmed that there was no Zeng Lang among them that I breathed a sigh of relief.

Time passed minute by minute, and Zeng Lang was never seen, and I walked farther and farther in the pine forest.

The noise of the soldiers' search gradually became inaudible.

I was confused, not knowing how long I had to wait.

I just understand that if I can't find Zeng Lang today, then I may never see him again in this life.

It is probably the painstaking perseverance that will eventually be experienced.

Finally, by a stream in the forest, I saw Zeng Lang who had fallen to the ground.

He was covered in blood, and his breath was like a gossamer.

I ran over and scrambled to pick him up.

Zeng Lang opened his eyes and saw that it was me, and he was very confused: "Why are you here?"

I have so many things in my heart that I want to talk to him. But as soon as I opened my mouth, I just choked up.

I could only reach out and try to wipe the blood from his face.

But my hand couldn't touch his face.

A sharp pain came from my shoulder. I was lifted in the air.

I looked up in horror and saw that it was the black face. His eyes were red and his face was full of murder.

The black face slammed me to the ground, and said angrily: "It's because I fell for the trick of you, a demon girl, that my Nine Shadows brothers died here." Today, I will slash you with a thousand knives to comfort my brother's soul in heaven!"

With that, Blackface raised his nine-section whip and swung it at my front door.

The stinger on the nine-section whip glistened in the moonlight.

So that's how I ended. Going around and around, it is still difficult to escape the doom.

Instead, I was unusually calm. If I can see Zeng Lang again, I have died without regrets.

But the nine-section whip did not fall.

Instead, he was caught.

It was Zeng Lang who firmly grasped the nine-section whip in his hand. A stinger that shimmered with cold light pierced his palm. Blood, drop by drop.

Blackface was furious and pulled the nine-section whip back. But the nine-section whip did not move at all, as if it was nailed to Zeng Lang's hands.

The black face said sharply: "Third child, do you want to betray your brother for the sake of this woman?"

Zeng Lang sighed lightly and said astringently: "Big brother, isn't the original intention of Jiuyou to rob the rich and help the poor, and to do the right thing for heaven? Why has it gone more and more deviant over the years? Killing people and killing innocents indiscriminately is definitely not what the third brother wants to do." ”

The black face yelled: "Killing this woman is not to kill innocents indiscriminately!

Zeng Lang looked at the black face steadily, and slowly shook his head.

The black face sneered, and his voice was like a sharp knife: "Okay." If you're going to defend this woman, you're no longer my brother!"

After that, the black face slashed at Zeng Lang with one hand, and he actually held the sharp dagger in his hand.

Zeng Lang freed up his hand and tried his best to resist Blackface's attack. But the force of the black face was extremely strong, and a deep blood mark immediately appeared on Zeng Lang's chest, gushing blood.

Zeng Lang took two steps back, and with a wave of his hands, the green yarn immediately erupted and struck at the black face.

Blackface was well aware of the power of the unicorn yarn, and immediately withdrew the nine-section whip and made a defensive stance.

Who knows, Qingsha didn't hit the black face for a long time, but just flew lightly in front of the black face.

The black face was puzzled, and with a dagger in his hand, he stabbed the green yarn in front of him to pieces.

But where is the shadow of Zeng Lang and me?

Zeng Lang used a trick to roll me up and rush out.

I was dragged by Zeng Lang and ran in the pine forest for I don't know how long.

Until Zeng Lang fell to the ground.

I panicked and helped Zeng Lang up, only to find that his face was pale and bloodless.

The moonlight, shining on his face, looked even more terrifying.

My eyes were a little moist, but the feeling of being overwhelmed in front of him returned. I whispered, "Why, save me?"

Zeng Lang was still in the mood to smile at me and said, "Probably because we both like plum blossoms." ”

My nose was sour and tears were falling.

Zeng Lang's tone was very relaxed: "I know that you sing very well, but I have never had the opportunity to listen to you sing." Why don't you sing a song to me? ”

I was stunned, a little confused. I vaguely felt that the words in my heart, I was afraid that in this life and this life, I would never have a chance to say them again. In that case, it's better to use a song to make a break.

So I steadied myself and began to sing softly.

No matter how much I pretended to be calm, my voice still trembled.

In the end, the singing turned into a low sob.

Zeng Lang has no breath.

I wiped my tears, but my voice was no longer astringent. I sang everything I thought and thought in the song.

I don't know how long I sang before I realized that there was a person standing behind me.

My singing came to an abrupt end.

The man was strangely dressed and had solemn eyebrows.

He whispered, "Your singing voice is touching. Would you like to worship me as a teacher?"

I said indifferently: "Worship you as a teacher, you may save Zeng Lang's life?"

The man frowned slightly, "I can't save him, but I can keep him alive." ”

I raised my head, with a twinkle in my eyes, and said firmly, "As long as he doesn't die, I will." ”

So, I became a disciple of a tantric master and learned the art of soul dementoring.

And Zeng Lang will be separated from me for the rest of my life. ”
