Chapter Seventy-Four: Sudden Crisis
"Brother Xue, I didn't expect that you and Brother Wei are one of the princes and the other are generals, this identity is really enviable. It would be nice if I suddenly had the same identity as you one day, so that I wouldn't have to wander around. ”
Meng Xiaofan and Xue Chen found Master Withered Leaf to explain the reason, and the three of them went down the mountain together. There was nothing to do on the way, so the three of them chatted, and when it came to the identities of Xue Chen and Ji Xuan, Meng Xiaofan was full of envy.
Xue Chen smiled: "What envy of our identity? Being in the crisis of officialdom, we are not free at all. Just like His Royal Highness, although he is a prince, he has been repeatedly killed. If it weren't for Brother Chen and Miss Ding by their side these times, I'm afraid something would have happened. In fact, we are very envious of you, if it weren't for the responsibility, we would all be a chivalrous man, riding horses and rivers, fighting swords, happy and hateful, this is so happy. ”
"Hey~, if I can, I'll exchange with you. Meng Xiaofan said with a smile.
Xue Chen smiled: "Then let's change?"
Meng Xiaofan waved his hand and said, "I can't be a general, and besides, I have to lead troops to fight, which is very dangerous." ”
Xue Chen smiled: "Then you want to change with His Highness?"
Meng Xiaofan said: "It's okay to be a prince, and you can enjoy endless glory and wealth." Well~, if I become a prince, I will be an idle prince honestly, and if I don't fight with anyone, they won't trouble me, and I won't be in danger. ”
Xue Chen smiled: "Then you still don't want to change it, or the whole world will be buried." ”
Master Withered Leaf said: "Different identities have different responsibilities and different responsibilities. If you are only willing to enjoy the life that comes with a prominent identity, and are not willing to take on the corresponding responsibilities, then you will be spurned and sooner or later you will lose this identity. ”
When Meng Xiaofan heard Master Withered Leaves say this, he was immediately embarrassed, and paused: "That...... The juniors don't mean that, the juniors are talking and playing. ”
Master Withered Leaves nodded and said: "Master Meng Xiao accompanied Master Meng Shi to travel thousands of miles to deliver the news of Tianyi Sect, which is to fulfill the responsibility of a Jianghu person, and he is a very responsible person, and the poor monk thinks that if you change your identity, it will be the same." ”
"Thank you for the master's compliment, the younger generation will continue like this, no matter how the identity changes. Meng Xiaofan was very happy when he saw Master Withered Leaves praising him, and immediately forgot the embarrassment just now.
Although the three of them were armed with torches, they still did not walk as smoothly as they did during the day. Fortunately, the three of them all had light skills, and they came halfway up the mountain in a short time.
"Stop, you can't escape. ”
The voice suddenly came from the darkness, and the three of them were stunned, and at the same time they all had an ominous premonition. Coincidentally, the light industry was launched and flew forward.
"The master of Xixia Temple begs me, I am the guard of His Royal Highness King Qi. ”
A voice came again in the darkness, and this voice was not the same person who shouted the previous one. He apparently saw the fire, and that's why he cried out for help.
As the voice came, the speed of the three of them expanded to the extreme, flying towards the place where the voice came from.
"Do you think that a few bald donkeys will be able to save you? Grandpa is about to attack Xixia Temple, so take these bald donkey sacrifice knives first. ”
Seeing that the man was calling for help, and seeing the three of the withered leaf masters getting closer and closer, the chasing person scolded.
As soon as the man's scolding fell, the three Master Withered Leaves rushed to the front of the man who asked for help.
By the light of the fire, the three of them could clearly see that this man was a bloodied guard.
The guard also saw the three of them clearly by the light of the fire, he knelt down at Xue Chen, and said eagerly: "General Xue, there is an attack under the mountain, I hope the general will go to the rescue!"
Xue Chen picked up the guards and said, "You say slowly, what's going on?"
The guard said: "We camped at the foot of the mountain gate according to the orders of His Highness and the general, and we didn't want to just rest when suddenly many people surrounded us, and we started without saying anything. General Lu asked a few of us to report the news to the mountain, and they chased and killed all the way, leaving only the little one, if we didn't meet the general, I am afraid ...... Hurry up and get down the mountain, if it's late, I'm afraid they'll ......"
Xue Chen patted the guard on the shoulder for comfort, and then looked at Master Withered Leaves, "It must be someone from the Tianyi Sect." The master and I went down the mountain first, and let the Xiaofan brothers go up the mountain to report the news, I don't know what the master wants?"
Master Withered Leaf nodded, "Just as the donor said." ”
Meng Xiaofan said: "Don't worry, my light skills are unique in martial arts, and I will definitely deliver the news in the shortest time." ”
After speaking, Meng Xiaofan started his light work and rushed towards the mountain.
As soon as Meng Xiaofan left, the five people who pursued the sergeant arrived.
"It's just a bald donkey......"
When Xue Chen heard the sergeant's narration, his heart had already started to kill, and when he saw these five people coming, he immediately drew his sword and killed, so the person who spoke was killed before he finished speaking.
After killing this person, Xue Chen did not stop, and took the opportunity to kill the other four people together.
These five people rushed here, and when they saw that there were only Master Withered Leaves and Xue Chen, they were overjoyed, so they didn't take these two people seriously. But they never expected that Xue Chen didn't say a word, and directly attacked, killing the five of them in an instant.
"The younger generation is killing in the holy land of Buddhism, and I hope the master will forgive me, but it is really because the mountain is in danger, we need to rush over as soon as possible, and we can't delay. Xue Chen said to Master Withered Leaf after killing five people.
Master Withered Leaves said: "Lord Xue is doing the right thing, and the Buddha will not forgive the wicked." Let's go. ”
Xue Chen nodded, and then said to the sergeant, "You wait here for Your Highness." ”
"Yes!"
Master Withered Leaves and Xue Chen started their light work and rushed down the mountain at great speed. Before the two of them reached the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain, they heard the sound of killing in the sky.
Looking at the black crowd of people under the mountain, Xue Chen's heart was even more frightened, he knew that there were less than five hundred guards left, and there must be thousands of people below at this moment.
The arrival of Master Kurong and Xue Chen did not attract attention, and the two of them went to the periphery and shot directly inside.
Master Withered Leaves used his palm, Xue Chen used his sword, and the two of them shot without reservation, all of them were killing moves, and they killed more than a dozen people in an instant.
It was only after killing these dozen people that someone reacted.
"They're coming for reinforcements!"
With this shout, the Tianyi Sect people, who were originally facing away from Xue Chen and Master Withered Leaves, immediately turned around and surrounded the two.
But how could these people surround the two? The two men continued to kill inside, and everywhere they went, they cried incessantly, and with each cry one fell.
In just a few breaths, the two men fought their way into the encirclement and joined the guards. At this time, there were only more than 200 guards left.
"General Xue has arrived, we are saved!"
When a soldier saw Xue Chen coming, he immediately shouted loudly. When the soldiers heard this shout, their morale was greatly boosted.
"Master, we need to go to the side of the mountain road, and when we get there, we can rely on the narrowness of the mountain road so that they cannot take advantage of their numbers. Ji Xuan said to Master Withered Leaves.
"According to what the donor said, you lead people to rush in front and kill, and the poor monks will break behind. ”
"Okay!" Xue Chen finished speaking, turning to the direction of the mountain road, "Everyone obeys the order, and they will rush to kill with the general!"
After Xue Chen finished speaking, he took the lead to kill.
The Tianyi Sect dispatched more than 5,000 people this time, and immediately surrounded the guards after arriving, and then killed them.
General Lu, the guard officer, saw that the situation was not right, and immediately sent people up the mountain to ask for help. A team of ten people was dispatched, and in the end, only one person met Xue Chen in the middle of the mountain.
It was also fortunate that he met Xue Chen in the middle of the mountain, otherwise that soldier would have been killed by the pursuers of the Tianyi Sect, and then these guards would probably be wiped out.
The guards originally asked Ah Niu and Yu Min to take Shen Changhao to break through to report the news, but several people disagreed, they felt that they could better help the guards by staying with their martial arts.
The leader of the Tianyi Sect didn't find Ji Xuan and the others, and when they saw that they were all ordinary guards, they didn't make a move, but let these sect members practice.
It was this idea of the leader of the Tianyi Sect that gave Xue Chen and Master Kurong the opportunity to come to the rescue.
It wasn't until Xue Chen and Master Kurong were about to kill the guards at the entrance of the mountain road that the leader of the Tianyi Sect got the news, and by the time they rushed over, most of the guards had already entered the mountain road.
There were fourteen leaders of the Tianyi Sect who rushed over, and after four of them arrived, they immediately shot at Master Kurong and Xue Chen.
