Chapter 46: Counter-killing
Seeing the sword blade attacking him, Shao Ming suddenly felt nervous, and the long knife in his hand slashed out, although it blocked the sword in time, but the sword qi that came to his face also made his face scratch his face, and a few drops of blood fell.
"Chen Ziang, what do you mean by this?"
Feeling the killing intent of the other party, Shao Ming secretly felt frightened.
Chen Ziang's long sword was horizontal in front of his chest, the tip of the sword moved slightly but pointed at the other party, and said with a smile: "What do you mean? Do you know that at this time, you still plan to hide? Do you think you really don't know about the things you did?"
"Didn't you hear any rumors ——, this?"
Shao Ming felt a little nervous, and a drop of sweat appeared on his forehead: "You must know my loyalty to the lord, but heaven and earth can learn from it, how could you do such a thing? There must be someone spreading rumors and deliberately misleading you." ”
"Really?"
Chen Ziang's heart was slightly tight, but he showed a little doubt, he had always been quite suspicious of the person in front of him, but seeing the other party behaving like this, it didn't seem to be a fake.
This situation made Chen Ziang feel a little confused.
Shao Ming closed his head and replied: "That's nature!"
"In that case, why don't you drop your weapons and have a real talk with me to see what went wrong?" Chen Ziang's eyes drooped slightly, and he inserted the long sword in his hand back into the scabbard, making a look of wanting to apologize.
Shao Ming also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's right." Otherwise, we won't be able to fight before we finish the enemy, so what's the matter?" As soon as the words fell, his eyes were slightly wrinkled, and his movements in his hands were slightly hesitant.
"Huh?"
Chen Ziang noticed the other party's movement, his heart tightened, although he didn't notice any movement, he didn't dare to stay in place, and immediately jumped up.
"Bang!"
A piece of rubble suddenly cracked, and it turned out to be the work of a gun.
Chen Ziang's eyes swept away, and he immediately saw dozens of people emerging dozens of feet away from here, and the first one was holding a gun in his hand, and the black hole was aimed directly at him.
When the man saw that he missed the blow, he immediately gave up his gun, but he ran directly, seemingly intending to confront Chen Ziang head-on.
Immediately behind the man, dozens of bandits also followed all the way, obviously intending to trap Chen Ziang here completely.
"Good guy, I didn't expect this guy to have some means, I don't know where I got it?" Chen Ziang opened his mouth and scolded.
At this time, Shao Ming was holding a long knife, and he actually slashed in the air.
The soldiers behind him seemed to have been prepared, and they were also brandishing big knives and slashing towards Chen Ziang together.
Chen Ziang was suddenly furious, the sword in his hand was unsheathed again, and the incoming long knife was blocked with a "bang", and several people next to him killed together, he didn't dare to continue to stay, and immediately jumped and jumped on the house next to him, avoiding the siege of everyone.
Standing on the roof, Chen Ziang shouted to Shao Ming below: "Good Shao Ming, it seems that I really didn't wronged you." Although the other party deliberately sneak attacked, he was not that big-hearted person, so he naturally prepared early, so as to avoid being successfully attacked.
"Huh. I didn't expect you to block it? It's a pity that even if you block it, it won't change the fact that you will die today. With all his strength, Shao Ming's figure was more than three feet taller, but he jumped directly onto the roof, as if he didn't intend to let Chen Ziang go.
Chen Ziang had no choice but to continue jumping backwards, intending to escape from here.
On the other side, the bandit leader in the distance leaned over the same way, holding an Emei thorn in his left and right hands, and the Emei thorn flashed and shot towards Chen Ziang.
The long sword in his hand swung violently, Chen Ziang waved the long sword with his right hand, blocking Shao Ming's long knife, but with the other hand, he took off the scabbard, directly blocked the attacking Emei thorn, and scolded: "What a guy." The Lord treats you so well on Fair Day, and that's how you treat her?"
"Huh. I've been here for 10 years, and I haven't seen any news of my promotion, so that's what a weight?" Shao Ming opened his mouth and scolded, looking unbearable, he was even more annoyed when he saw Chen Ziang's angry appearance, and the attack speed of the long knife in his hand was three points faster.
The other person also opened his mouth and smiled: "Haha." Who can stay in such a poor and remote place for ten years? And they can't do this, they can't do that, it's just extremely embarrassing. Who wants to continue in this situation?"
"Humph!"
Chen Ziang saw that the opponent's attack was sharp, and he stabbed or stabbed or slashed with Emei in one hand, and after a while, he knocked the scabbard down, and the sharp qi was close to the face.
In desperation, Chen Ziang had no choice but to retreat again and again, before he avoided the fatal blow, and opened his mouth to ask: "Seeing that you are such a cultivator, you are not an ordinary person, but you have also wronged yourself in this water bandit? ”
"Oh, why do you think so?"
The man listened, visibly stunned for a moment.
He was stunned, but he also gave Chen Ziang a chance to retreat, and he also analyzed: "It's very simple." Although that water bandit is powerful, he is just a bandit, and if he had encountered some hard stubble, he should have retreated a long time ago, and how could he continue to attack? Like your previous actions, it is not something that water bandits can do, only real soldiers can do it. ”
Commanding an army is not a simple matter, let alone simply giving orders.
But the previous series of actions of the water bandits had already aroused the suspicion in Chen Ziang's heart, and the only team in the vicinity that could have such a city strength was Lu Wende, who was stationed in Xiangyang City.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziang came to his senses: "Yes, you must have come here to seize Junzhou." After all, Lu Wende was subject to the treaty, and it was definitely impossible for him to lead the army to attack in person. That's why he has nurtured you so that you can create opportunities for him to live in Junju. ”
There is also a certain truth in Chen Ziang's words.
Junzhou is not an ordinary place, it is located in the upper reaches of the Han River, it is the only place to go to the south of the Yangtze River in Guannai, and you can reach Xiangyang all the way along the Han River, which can be said to be very convenient, and it can be said to be a very key strategic place.
The reason why Xiao Feng wanted this place was to be able to use it as a bridgehead and step into the south of the Yangtze River.
Lu Wende naturally knew this reason, so he planned to send someone to rob Junzhou.
"Now that you already know, if you surrender at this time, then after I make it clear to Lu Wende, I will definitely let you enjoy all the glory and wealth. With your ability, in the Red Phoenix Army, you are succumbing. Shao Ming also persuaded him, just because Chen Ziang was good, if he wanted to take it down, he would definitely pay a considerable price.
He deceived Chen Ziang with lies before, and it was precisely because he was afraid of Chen Ziang's strength that he dared to reveal his true whereabouts only after the arrival of the water bandit leader.
"Phew!"
Chen Ziang scolded: "Do you think that everyone is as greedy for money as you? And today's battle is not over, how can you feel that you are sure to win?" With a flash of the sword in his hand, Li Mang suddenly appeared, shooting straight at Shao Ming.
"Bang!"
Although he was blocking the sword qi, Shao Ming took a few steps back, secretly feeling frightened, a little afraid, and still persuaded in his mouth: "Do you really not plan to surrender?"
He knew that his strength was inferior to Chen Ziang, so he naturally wanted to move the other party with words to avoid a head-on duel.
"Of course!"
Several sword qi volleyed into the air, and Chen Ziang also followed, and the sharp sword stabbed at the vital places around Shao Ming's body, this time it was a hateful blow, which naturally contained great power, Shao Ming only blocked a few times, and he felt that the tiger's mouth was cracked and his arm was sore.
However, after several battles, Shao Ming already felt that his strength was weakened and his true qi was weak.
Seeing that the other party was exposed, Chen Ziang handed out the sharp sword in his hand, and gently picked Shao Ming with an oops, and the hand holding the knife splashed a few points of blood, and the long knife also fell to the dust with a "snap".
"Good opportunity. ”
Seeing that the other party had lost his weapon and the door was wide open, Chen Ziang pressed forward step by step, and stabbed his sword straight into Shao Ming's neck.
At this moment, a sharp light shot from the side, knocking the sharp sword directly away.
Chen Ziang's eyes were angry, and he glared angrily at the bandit leader who appeared next to him.
"Indeed, with Shao Ming's skills, he can't fight against you. But have you forgotten that there is another person here, and with your strength, how can you fight against the two of us?" The bandit leader laughed.
Shao Ming also took this opportunity to pick up the long knife again, revealing a little shame: "Thank you." Although it was a thanks, it seemed extremely stiff, as if there was still a trace of resistance in his heart.
"You're welcome. And you have also seen that with his character, how can he surrender? Now, we can only take Junzhou by killing him. You know? Now is the critical time, and there is no room for any variables. Got it?"
Lightly stating the facts in front of him, the bandit leader issued a warning to Shao Ming.
The capture of Junzhou is his plan for many years, and naturally no changes are allowed, even if Chen Ziang stops it, it is the same.
Shao Ming's hands clenched slightly, and a drop of sweat fell on his forehead, but he felt nervous: "I know." ”
Although he knew that this scene in front of him would appear sooner or later, it was so intense, and he had to fight with his colleagues, which made it a little difficult for him to accept.
"Hahaha-"
Seeing that the two of them looked like they were holding the chance to win, Chen Ziang let out bursts of hearty laughter, probably because he was too happy, he even retracted the long sword from its scabbard, looking leisurely and complacent.
The laughter was full of sarcasm, and Chen Ziang's performance was even more weird.
All this made the bandit leader feel unhappy, and shouted, "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing. It's just fun. After all, they will soon be able to completely exterminate the water bandits that plagued Junzhou, so how can they not sing loudly?" The corners of Chen Ziang's mouth curled slightly, but he said, "And in addition to catching you, he even found your big fish?
Suddenly, his sharp gaze swept over Shao Ming, making Shao Ming feel a little uncomfortable.
He whispered, "What do you mean by that?"
While he was talking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the distance, and the two stared at each other, but saw that the person in charge was Zhang Wei, and the soldiers behind him were black and oppressive, and they rushed towards this side in a row of mountains and seas.
"Aren't you out of town?"
The bandit leader looked surprised, and Shao Ming was also panicked.
Zhang Wei smiled: "That's right. But don't forget, I can come back, too. And you're here, so why can't I be here?"
"Damn. This is a trap you laid on purpose?"
The two of them looked frightened, and immediately prepared to leave, but before they could take a few steps, a burst of gunfire rang out in the distance.
The two of them had to hurriedly avoid it, but when they saw the street behind them, Lei Min also led his elite men and horses to block the back road, and laughed loudly: "You two, you've been waiting for a long time." ”
There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, and under the instantaneous change of the situation, Shao Ming and the bandit leader are also dead-faced, and whispered: "What's going on?"
Located outside, the men they brought with them were also terrified and couldn't figure out the situation.
Zhang Wei didn't have the heart to question, and directly issued his own order.
"Kill!"
The sound of killing sounded, and the two armies were one after the other, all heading towards the two people in the center.
