Chapter 44: Plank Road in Distress
On the plank road in the mountains, a group of more than 40 people rode horses, although the speed was not very fast, but for a group of people and horses to hurry, such a speed was already a dangerous speed. But no one in the team whispered, and the horse's head and tail kept a distance of three steps, and they didn't move messily after running for so long.
Suddenly, Zhao Qingyan glanced at the cliff high in front of him, and then turned his head to look at Ran Haoyan. Ran Hao realized and raised his voice slightly: "Stop!"
King Huan immediately reined in his horse and raised his hand to signal to stop advancing: "What's wrong?"
Ran Hao said: "There are people in front. ”
King Huan followed his gaze and didn't find anything wrong, but he didn't ask questions, but looked at Zhao Qingyan: "Mo'er, what should I do?"
Zhao Qingyan held the reins in his right hand, and pulled out the sword at his waist with his left hand: "Everyone prepare, go over and take a look." ”
At first glance, the blade of the long sword is a light blue color, and the sun shines on it, and the sword body is like a light wave. The sound of unsheath is clearer and more beautiful, but it is not far away, and it is obviously an excellent long sword. This sword is called "Qinghong", which is Zhuo Yi's sword in his early years, and he gave this long sword to his disciples after accepting them.
Everyone nodded yes, and the answer was low, so as not to alarm the people in front.
Ran Hao looked at the rock wall, pressed his hands lightly on the saddle, and landed lightly on the horse's back, a little more on his toes, flew against the rock wall, grabbed a bulge with his right hand, and tapped his toes on the smooth rock wall a few times, and the person had already flown far away with his strength. Even the guards who had long known Ran Haoxuan's skills couldn't help but be amazed by his light skills.
After waiting for a while, Ran Hao hung on the tree, turned around and made a few gestures to Zhao Qingyan.
Zhao Qingyan waved his hand to signal that he had received it, turned his head to King Huan and asked, "Thirteenth uncle, what should I do?"
King Huan was stunned, then looked at Ran Haoxuan, who had disappeared into the mountains and bushes, and asked, "What did he say?" "Ran Haoxuan's gestures are a few simple gestures commonly used by Ouchi's guards, but the next few movements obviously do not belong to Ouchi's actions.
Zhao Qingyan secretly said a negligence, turned half sideways, and explained to the guards: "He said that in front of him is a group of organs, about thirteen to eighteen people who can be seen, five of them are operating hidden weapons, and the rest are ordinary subordinates, with medium and upper strength. The costume does not indicate the power, but the mechanism should belong to the puppet palace. Be careful, the types of traps work well together. ”
King Huan raised his eyes and looked at the distance, I am afraid that from here, he couldn't even see Ran Haoxuan's slightly small movements. King Huan secretly slandered himself, but he didn't say it to delay time: "You are responsible, we will not make a mechanism." ”
Zhao Qingyan touched the head of the mount and said in a low voice: "Stumble, let's go and abolish their mechanism, you be careful." The crowd watched him talk to the horse, and surprisingly no one expressed any surprise. After Zhao Qingyan and Ma finished speaking, he turned around and ordered: "The good ones and the thirteenth uncle will go up to kill people, I will abolish those organs, and the rest of the people will follow one step later and be on call at any time." Qinghong returned to the sheath, took out the needle bag from his bosom and put it into his right sleeve, shook the reins, and rushed out like a hoof.
When King Huan saw him acting, he immediately ordered: "Dismount, go up with me, and the rest stay to watch the horses!"
Chen Huayi pursed his lips and said to himself: "Then I'll go up." Squatting on the horse's back, he "bounced" towards the rock wall, and when he was about to hit it, the chain in his sleeve shot out, stopping his forward charge. Although his movements were not as chic as Ran Hao, nor as decisive as King Huan, he dared to fly over directly on horseback. For this kind of action that will fall miserably if you are unstable, don't say that the guards, even King Huan will stay away.
In fact, this kind of action is not practical at all, not to mention that it is difficult to do without superior light skills, and even if it is done, what is the use? It is nothing more than looking chic, and you can also be a little lazy. And the two in front of him each occupy a little.
Of course, the guards slandered and slandered, but they still didn't forget what they should do now. A small half of the guards turned over and dismounted, walked to the edge of the stone wall, and jumped over to the top of the rock wall to participate in the battle. The rest of the guards dismounted and led their companions' horses and moved forward slowly.
Waiting for Ran Haoyu, who was in the dark, to see King Huan coming, he didn't delay any longer, a dagger slipped out of his sleeve, and silently ran behind the unnoticed person more than ten meters away. It's not so much "running" as "slipping". I didn't see any movement under his feet, so I silently approached the unaware man. With a flick of his wrist, the sharp dagger slashed lightly through one's throat, and before the blood could spurt out, he continued to rush towards the next person, not fearing that a blow would not kill him.
He quickly slit the throats of three men, and when he startled the fourth, he took a leap forward, and plunged the dagger into his throat. With a flick of his wrist, the corpse was thrown away, and the blood sprayed from the wound didn't even have time to touch Ran Haoxuan's hand.
King Huan and Chen Huayi had also arrived at this time, and King Huan just glanced at it and joined the battle. And Chen Huayi watched Ran Hao stick out his tongue and whispered, "How many people did you kill to practice this speed?"
Ran Haoxuan, who heard his voice, glanced back at him, didn't say anything, and chased after King Huan.
Chen Huayi shrugged, looked at the people around him who were alarmed, and couldn't help sighing: "You shouldn't owe, it's okay now, leave me and run away." The chain dart wrapped around his wrist hung down to the ground, and he had the courage to fight against a dozen people.
It looks very similar, but when he moves his hands, he smears oil on the soles of his feet, parries a few times at will, and slides out of the seemingly impermeable encirclement like a loach, waving his hand to the guards who are coming behind, and speeding up to chase Ran Haoxuan.
After such a slight delay, when Chen Huayi rushed over, the two who arrived first had already started a fierce battle with more than thirty men in black.
A man dressed in white like snow, with fluttering clothes, took away a person's life with light strokes.
A fist and kick, majestic, vigorous and resolute to force back a person's moves.
Chen Huayi stood here and watched for a long time, and sighed with emotion: "I knew you didn't need help, why did I rush over?"
"Less nonsense!" King Huan kicked a person away, grabbed Chen Huayi and threw him into the battle circle, "You dare to be lazy in front of me?"
Chen Huayi jumped a few steps unsteadily, almost hitting a person's chest, and when he looked up, he saw a tall black-faced man looking at him fiercely, and hurriedly grinned and pulled out an embarrassed smile, and the next moment, before the black-faced man's axe fell, an iron chain wrapped around his neck, strangulating the thick neck.
"Doesn't it mean that the puppet palace is all playing tricks like weak scholars? Can anyone tell me where these brute bulls who are two as tall as me and three strong as me come from? Can I beat them?" Put the third person who pounced, Chen Huayi scolded and complained, seeing King Huan and Ran Haoxu looking at him with an indifferent and scrutinizing gaze, scratching their heads a little embarrassed, looking at the three corpses with twisted necks at their feet, and laughing: "Yes, they don't seem to be as tall as me, I may look down on myself too much, right?"
Ran Haoxuan turned his face expressionlessly and continued to face his opponent.
King Huan looked away slightly, looked behind Chen Huayi, and reminded lightly: "There is someone behind you." ”
"Huh?" Chen Huayi looked back, only to see a knife slashed at his head, bent down decisively, rolled away, opened the knife with a chain in his hand, supported his left hand on the ground, turned over flexibly, kicked on the stomach of the opponent who was one step away from him, and smashed the chain to the ground again, and smashed the head of the man who was kicked down by him with the force of the hammer.
King Huan, who was turned back by the sound of the watermelon smashing, only saw Chen Huayi jumping at a corpse: "Do you know that if that knife hits my head, it will crack with a 'poof'?
King Huan shook the blood on the knife, he was angry and funny, but in the end, he could only sigh and vent his anger at the person in front of him.
Speaking of the two ends, the fight was fierce over there, but Zhao Qingyan's situation was not so optimistic. As soon as he destroyed the four mechanisms with bamboo needles and fists, he was surrounded by seven people. Zhao Qingyan waved his hand to the guards who wanted to come over, quickly looked around at the mechanisms that could be seen around him, and pulled out his long sword.
The needle capsule is on the right sleeve, so you can only take the needle with your left hand. The Qinghong sword is also the best place for the left hand to pull out...... It's a cocoon. Seven people, with their current bodies, can only kill four at a time at most, and it doesn't seem difficult to kill themselves with the remaining three engines. Now, you can only stand a little to the right, block their movements, and ...... Zhao Qingyan quickly deduced the best method, rushed to that position, blocked the Qinghong Sword in front of him, and shouted: "Hao!"
Ran Hao, who was fighting fiercely, decisively dropped an opponent who could be killed with a raised hand, and rushed to the place below where the sound came from as fast as he could. To be precise, he jumped down, fell straight down his head and feet, threw the dagger in his hand in mid-air, and inserted it into the chest of the person closest to Zhao Qingyan, hitting the heart. And the next moment, he pressed a person's head with one hand, twisted it, threw his waist backwards like a break, and kicked his feet heavily into the chests of two people. The two men who were kicked made a sound of broken bones in their chests, flew backwards like broken bags, crashed into their own people, and fell off the cliff. Ran Hao turned over and landed, threw the two people who twisted their necks off the cliff, leaned over and pulled out the dagger, shook off the blood on it, and turned his head to look at Zhao Qingyan.
Zhao Qingyan was slightly speechless, and then nodded: "Good job." "Walk past him and continue to dismantle the mechanism. He didn't express surprise or more praise for Ran Haoxuan's neat and neat methods, just a casual praise that was so bland that he turned a blind eye.
Ran Haoxuan didn't show too much emotion, knowing that the remnants of the people above Huan Wang and Chen Huayi were enough to deal with it, and he didn't need to participate himself, so he silently picked up the mechanism that had been dismantled and destroyed on the ground and threw it off the cliff.
Seeing Ran Haoxuan's series of actions, the guards who watched the battle not far away suddenly boiled. Even though no one was talking nonsense because of the rules, their faces were full of excitement. As one of the best guards in Ouchi, even if you put them on the rivers and lakes, they are rare good hands. But with a few moves from Ran Hao, they couldn't do it anyway. Don't say do it, don't even think about it!
As the saying goes, it's better to see than to hear, so when they look at it, they really admire Ran Haoxuan's kung fu.
