Chapter 140: Fortitude and Tenderness
A steady stream of black-clothed assassins swung their knives at Ren Guang and the others again.
"Ah Jing, Ah Song-" Ren Guang knew that the enemy had a large number of men, and there was a thick fog around him, his own side was in the light, and the enemy was in the dark, Ren Guang was a little worried about Lin Jing and Shi Changsong.
The enemy was outnumbered, but Lin Jing and Shi Changsong did not take it lightly. Seeing the two black-clothed assassins on the left and right attacking, Lin Jing and Shi Changsong both dodged, and then exchanged positions as if they cooperated. In an instant, the two of them stabbed at the same time, piercing each other's abdomen. Only two screams were heard, blood spilled on the ground, and the lives of the two black-clothed assassins ended in an instant.
"We're fine, Brother Guang, don't worry about us. Lin Jing said with a knife in his hand, looking at the thick fog in front of him.
Ren Guang looked at the confused fog, but he couldn't figure out what was behind the fog, in addition to anxiety, there was also a fear of unknown dangers. Thinking of this, Ren Guang continued to say to Lin Jing and Shi Changsong behind him: "Attention, the fog in the forest is still very thick now, and the enemy is very familiar with the terrain here, but we don't know anything, so we don't know how much danger there will be next." The young master has gone to the front alone, and we can't be scattered anymore, understand?"
"You don't need Brother Guang to say this, we also know ......" Shi Changsong said with a smile, in such an oppressive environment, Shi Changsong could still show a confident smile.
"But they have too many people, and there are any dangers ahead, whether Abu is still alive or not, we don't have ......a clue," Ren Guangjihua said, but at this time he was still nervous. "It's not a way to keep consuming it now, what should I do......"
As he spoke. Another group of black-clothed assassins slashed at their heads...... and a few flashes of "poof-" flashed, and the black-clothed assassins in the front row were once again repulsed. Ren Guang was still puzzled, but he saw that behind them, the other dart masters who came to the dart game were also carrying Pu knives and fighting with their bodies.
"It's not just Brother Ah Guang and a few ......of you who are dealing with these robbers," said one of the dart masters, "as a member of the Dart Board. Every one of us will do our best!"
"Everyone......" Ren Guang saw it in his eyes, and an inexplicable emotion suddenly appeared in his heart.
When Lin Jing saw it, he also smiled and said, "Yes." Brother Guang, you are our chief dart master, and now is the time for the big guys to be united. Now that we have encountered a danger that the game has never encountered before, we can't be discouraged at this critical time......"
Several more black-clad assassins attacked. Lin Jing saw it. He and a few dart masters beside him jumped forward, and after a few bursts of sword light, there were suddenly several more corpses of black-clothed assassins on the ground.
"Now that the big guys are cheering up, Brother Guang, we can't be afraid and admit defeat at this time......" Shi Changsong also said with a smile, "The lives of so many people in the Dart Game are in our hands, and we must find a way now...... Now that we're all in one go, as the chief dart master. Brother Guang, we all listen to you. What do we do next?"
"You ...... Okay......" Ren Guang looked at all the people who were united, and his eyes suddenly became a little more determined, and then Ren Guang froze, turned his head to look at the dense fog in front of him and said, "Now that the enemy who is familiar with the terrain is attacking us in the dense fog, we are naturally disadvantaged, if this happens in the dart, generally speaking, we should evacuate this dangerous place first......"
Ren Guang said, and there were several black-clothed assassins in front of him. Ren Guang saw that he was determined, and he slashed horizontally. Seeing this, the two dart masters beside him also came to help, and swung their knives in unison, so that several more black-clad assassins fell.
"But the current situation is a little different......," Ren Guang continued to say solemnly, "Our companions are now in this dangerous area, Abu's life and death are uncertain, and the young master is alone in front of us to open the way, so naturally we can't leave them alone......"
Immediately afterward, a steady stream of black-clothed assassins emerged from the dense fog, overwhelmingly coming in front of Ren Guang and the others.
"Then what should we do now?" Lin Jing held the Pu knife in his hand, aimed at the black-clothed assassin in front of him, and swung away, and then said, "I am trapped in a trap and can't retreat, what should I do now?"
Ren Guang faced the black-clothed assassin who rushed in front of him, and while brandishing his knife to fight back, he replied in thought: "It's not just us, there are people from the second team behind us, and due to the thick fog, they are now more confused than we are about the direction in front of us. Now that there are swords and swords here, if we retreat rashly, they will definitely be implicated...... So, for now, we can only bite the bullet and move forward slowly, after all, their manpower is not infinite, if we are lucky, we can keep it together like this, and we may be able to defeat or repel those robbers. ”
"Brother Guang, do you mean that we still keep moving forward like this?" Shi Changsong replied as he dealt with the black-clothed assassins around him.
"That's right!" Ren Guang kept waving the knife in his hand, although there were already some blood marks on his arm that had been grazed by the black-clothed assassin with a knife, he still endured the battle while planning and said, "Look at this jiashi, those robber robbers must have planned in advance, according to general logic, they will definitely think that we will retreat." But if we do the opposite, we may be able to disrupt their setting of haodejihua, and maybe we can surprise them and catch them off guard. And these robbers are not very powerful, they are just covered by a thick fog, we are next to each other one by one, and we will have no problem dealing with them if we are more vigilant!"
"Okay, I see!" Lin Jing replied, "Then let's just go together and fight our way out!"
"Okay, let's come together!" Shi Changsong faced the danger in the thick fog, but his blood boiled.
So, Ren Guang led the dart masters behind him, while leading the convoy to move forward slowly, while holding a simple knife to constantly deal with the enemy who came by sneak attack. Despite the constant attacks of the black-clad assassins, from time to time the dart master who came to the dart board would be injured. But standing next to each other and covering each other, the march of the entire front row did not receive much resistance......
Ouyang Cong's side, although there was also a thick fog in front of him. But by listening to the voice, you can guess what's going on ahead.
The black-clothed head beside him was too, only to hear the black-clothed head ask: "No, chief, these guys not only did not retreat, but continued to move forward, this momentum is not right......
"It looks like they're not going to leave Abu alone, huh. Abu, Abu, I didn't expect that you, who used to be a thief, could be valued by so many people now......" Ouyang Cong laughed to himself. "Don't retreat, but advance, right? Hmph, fortunately, I kept a hand...... Since you know there is a trap and still drill into it, then don't blame me for being ruthless, hum......"
Ouyang Cong sneered twice. Then the hideous face disappeared into the fog again......
Sun Yun here. He was at the forefront, and he was alone, so the black-clad assassin he encountered was the trickiest. But fortunately, Sun Yun's martial arts are very high, and he is not afraid of these black-clothed assassins who sneak attack. When the situation gradually stabilized, and the whole person was completely adapted to fighting in the thick fog, Sun Yun was a little puzzled: "There are so many black-clothed assassins, if it is just to rob us of a dart, it is too exciting to send so many people...... Unless. Their purpose at the beginning was not to rob the dart, but to take our lives directly......" Thinking of this, Sun Yun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Two more black-clad assassins leaped to their feet. Swinging the knife towards Sun Yun's head. Sun Yun's eyes were certain, and he slashed into a "Phantom Light Knife", and the two Silver Moon Knife flashes, and there was a terrible knife sound, and the two black-clothed assassins fell to the ground screaming.
"Moreover, who else can hire so many people, besides the Mengyuan Imperial Court itself?" Sun Yun seemed to have some clues, and said unconsciously worried, "In this way, it is indeed the Chatai Royal Mansion that wants to take revenge on us for coming to the dart game and secretly making trouble." However, Chatai Dordun did not come, probably because Weishenme could not get out. If he doesn't come, I'm fine with these black-clad assassins, but if anyone else is there...... Not good, Juan'er-"
Only then did Sun Yun realize that the strength of the two carts of men and horses he was divided into was not even, and all the experienced dart masters were assigned to the front row of troops, and once the second convoy where the cuckoo was attacked by something, there was basically no power to fight back. Thinking of this, Sun Yun's mind couldn't help but heat up. He wanted to turn around and take care of it, but he was surrounded by black-clothed assassins who couldn't finish beating him, so Sun Yun had no choice but to continue to deal with it. But thinking that no one could take care of the people in the second team, Sun Yun's heart was always worried......
Sure enough, there weren't many experienced dart masters in the second team at all. Although there was no black-clad assassin attack, hearing the screams of the fight in front of them, they couldn't see the direction clearly due to the thick fog, and most of the people in the second convoy also began to get nervous.
"Former ...... What the hell is going on up ahead?" shouted a young man, a little nervous.
"There seems to be a scream of a fight...... "but we are all foggy in front of us, and we can't see what lies ahead, so something must have happened?"
Du Juan also felt it, he was very worried about whether something happened to Sun Yun and them now, because she saw the explosion just now, and now it is unknown whether He Zibu is dead or alive.
Since Ren Guang and the others were constantly advancing slowly as the front row of troops to open the way, the second convoy mainly followed the knife marks left by Sun Yun on the ground and slowly followed. However, after some distance, the sight in front of them frightened the inexperienced men of the second convoy - the ground was littered with blood and the corpses of the men in black.
"Ahh
The cuckoo was also a little shocked at first, but after a period of shock, the cuckoo began to appear unusually calm.
"Oh no, there are no more knife marks left by the young master on the ground!" suddenly a young man shouted.
It turned out that because of the mess of the fight scene, the blood was spilled all over the ground, and there were other people's knife marks on the ground, it was not clear which was the knife mark left by Sun Yun at all; moreover, there was already a slight distance between the second convoy and the front row of troops, and now the fog was thick, and it was impossible to see which direction the front row troops were in; moreover, although the sound of the battle in front could be heard. But the ghostly fog seemed to have disturbed these sounds as well, and now the people in the second convoy were also panicked, and they couldn't calm down to judge the direction from which the voices of the troops in the front row were coming from.
"What to do. We seem to be lost......" someone already shouted nervously.
"No, we're going to die here......" Someone kept saying something depressing, unlike the bloody battle of the front row troops, the atmosphere of the people in the second team was very pessimistic and depressing.
However, what is surprising is that among all the people in the second team now, only the woman who seems to be weak and can't help the wind seems to be unusually calm.
The cuckoo stared at everything around him, and secretly said in his heart: "It seems that I am really lost." Is there no way......"
With the pessimistic voices of the people around him, the cuckoo seemed to think of something, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart: "No." I can't give up in this place! I swore that I would be stronger than before, I can't just fall here, think about what I can do...... By the way, didn't I also get lost in the Yunwu Mountain when I was at Nangong's house? At that time, I was not afraid of anyone. also correctly found Nangong Jiao's lost sachet in the dense fog that couldn't tell the direction. Didn't I give up at that time...... Although the current situation is more dangerous than it was back then, it is actually similar in theory, and I can't muster up the courage to try again?"
Thinking about it, the cuckoo jumped out of the board cart he was sitting on, as if to do something.
A dart master next to him who was a little concerned about the cuckoo saw it, so he asked, "Miss Du, now that the fog is thick in the forest, you better sit back in the car...... You don't have to worry. We'll figure it out. ”
Cuckoo thought for a moment, smiled at the man, and said, "You are all inexperienced dart masters. When you encounter this situation, you don't know what to do yet...... But for me, I still have a way. ”
"Miss Du, ...... you" The dart master would never have thought that a maid around seventeen years old would have any way to get out of the fog predicament here, and they never thought that Du Juan, as a maid, could guarantee such optimism and composure in the face of such a dangerous scene.
"When I was at the Nangong family in Bianliang, I had experience in this area...... Du Juan continued to smile and said, "Since Young Master Sun is not here, let me show you the way today......
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Du Juan, and they would never have thought that an ordinary maid who didn't know martial arts would find a way out in this fog full of murderous machines.
Du Juan, who has always been gentle and shy, never imagined that he could become the leader of a row of convoys. Seriously, she was also very nervous, after all, in the eyes of others, she was just an ordinary maid, and she would not have the experience of those dart masters. And she doesn't know martial arts, and she is usually an introvert, so she never thought that she would take the lead and carry the lives of the whole team. Thinking of this, Du Juan was also nervous in his heart.
But the current situation no longer allows Du Juan to think too much, and now all the people in the second team are very demoralized, and Du Juan came out at the right time, at least to stabilize the morale of the army. Cuckoo thought that he must not live up to the trust that this team of people placed in him.
"Then what should we do, Miss Du?" asked the dart master who had been by her side all the time.
The cuckoo first crouched down, enduring the mess of corpses and blood on the ground, trying to find any clues about the whereabouts of the front convoy. The cuckoo looked at it and said secretly in his heart: "If you can't see the knife marks left on the ground, maybe the rolling wheel prints of the carriage can see the clues......"
So, the cuckoo looked in the direction of the rolling wheel seal again. However, unfortunately, because it seems that there has been too much fighting here, the rolling wheel prints in front are intricate, and it is impossible to see the direction at all. The slightly earlier rolling wheel print was trampled by the footprints of many people, so the method of finding the direction by relying on the rolling wheel print had to fail by itself.
However, Du Juan did not give up, she stood up and kept trying to recall: "When I accompanied Nangong Jiao to the outskirts of the mountain, I remember that time it seemed to be ...... I didn't get lost and found the sachet by distinguishing the east, west, north and south directions, so how did I distinguish between east and west, north and south...... Right-"
The cuckoo's eyes were certain, and he shouted loudly: "The direction of the tree can point to the east, west, north and south—"
"The ...... of the tree Directions?" asked the dart master beside her, confused.
"Yes," replied the cuckoo, "although this 'foggy jungle' is foggy all year round, when the weather is haode, the fog is lighter, and there will still be sunshine. The direction of plant growth is related to sunlight, we can figure out the east, west, north and south, we remember that when we went out of the capital, the direction that Yang seniors told us was - east ......"
Before the words fell, the cuckoo ran to a few tall trees, carefully observed the direction of the growth of the branches, and then pointed to the front one and said: "The east is over there, and the front row of troops is going that way!"
The people of the second team looked at Du Juan's very confident words and deeds, and felt that even a weak woman like Du Juan not only did not give up in such adversity, but could also maintain such composure, so the big guy regained his spirits.
A leading dart master in front shouted to the people behind him: "Miss Du has helped us point out the direction, we can't bow our heads in frustration." Let's go, big guys, hurry up and chase the young master!"
"Okay—" everyone replied in unison.
The cuckoo saw it in his eyes, and his face smiled slightly. That's right, when he was in Bianliang Nangong Mansion, Du Juan used this method to calmly judge the direction of the Foggy Mountains, and finally found Nangong Jiao's lost sachet. It's just that Cuckoo didn't expect that now in the foggy jungle on the outskirts of the capital, Cuckoo used this method again, and also raised the morale of the whole team.
The men of the second convoy put everything in order and accelerated in the direction of the march of the troops in the front row. Cuckoo was not idle this time, and she also brought up all her spirit and helped the convoy to move together...... (To be continued......)
