Chapter 41: Confrontation
"The appearance of the deceased can be seen as a war book under the Fish Dragon Guard, and the other party is telling us that our every move is under their noses, and it is impossible to play a small trick. At the same time, they were telling us that they were confident enough to catch us all and didn't mind reminding us in advance. Ning Liang said with a calm face: "At this time, it is impossible to sneak away from some secret passage, and it is impossible for me to escape like a lost dog." Get ready for battle. ”
Ruan Songyu, Ouyang Tianhui and the others frowned, glanced at each other, and the same words were written in their eyes - how to fight?
But at this time, Luo Yong, who came with a group of militiamen, would not ask this kind of question, he clenched the spear in his hand, and said in a sonorous tone: "Master, tell me, how are we going to fight!"
Ning Liang waved his sleeves and said, "Luo Yong, disperse the militia." Before, you were asked to train the militia, just to deal with the general situation, like now, there is no need to send the villagers to death. ”
"But the old man ......" Luo Yong was anxious when he heard it, but before he could say it, Ruan Songyu on the side reached out and pressed Luo Yong's shoulder, and said: "Lord Ning is right, these militias can deal with ordinary idle people in the rivers and lakes, and against the fish and dragon guards, they can't even stop the opponent's round of charge." ”
Luo Yong wanted to say something, but when he saw Ning Liang's plain eyes, he couldn't say anything. In the end, he had to sigh deeply and reluctantly leave with the ignorant militia.
Ning Liang looked at Luo Yong's back, and also sighed lightly: "This kid is good at everything, but he is too stubborn." After speaking, he looked around at the small mansion of Ning Mansion and said: "This mansion is not an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, once it is forced to a dead end, there is nowhere to escape, we can't fight here." Qidong County has complex terrain and is surrounded by mountains and rivers, so we can take advantage of the terrain to deal with them. Ladies and gentlemen, next, please listen to Ning's command. ”
Ouyang Tianhui stepped forward, carried the broadsword with the door board on his shoulder, and laughed: "Lord Ning, even if you command, we will fight to the death tonight to protect you!"
Ning Liang arched his hand and said, "Ning Mou first thanked a few young chivalrous warriors. Now, please also ask Lan Nuxia to inform Luo Yong, let him lead people to evacuate the people of Qidong County, although Yulongwei is cruel, but after all, they are officers and soldiers, and they will not kill innocents indiscriminately, please let Luo Yong take the people to a safe place and settle them, and then ......"
Subsequently, Ruan Shaoxia, Ouyang Shaoxia, and Lin Shaoxia troubled a few people to clear up the surroundings of Qidong County. Now there must be a large number of Stygian Fish Guards around us, and we will ask a few of them to take action, whether it is to kill them or drive them away, in short, we will not let the Stygian Fish Guards know our whereabouts for the next period of time. After a while, Ning and his family will take their family members to hide in the county, but they will not tell the young heroes of their location. ”
Ruan Songyu was stunned, Ning Liang meant that he didn't want a few of them to protect him. Several of them are masters, even if they really face Yulongwei, it is not difficult to get out, but Ningliang's family does not know martial arts, if there is no protection from them, once they are discovered by Yulongwei, there is no way to deal with it.
It's just that Ruan Songyu also knows that Ning Liang is a scheming person, and he must have his reasons for thinking about how to deal with it in the study every day until late at night these days. Therefore, Ruan Songyu did not show doubt in the end, nodded, and said to his three fellow disciples: "Do it." ”
The other three bowed their heads and turned to leave.
Ruan Songyu took a deep breath and said to Ning Liang: "Lord Ning, there will be a fierce battle next, I understand that you have your own reasons for arranging this, but if you really need our help, please be sure to let us know where you are." ”
Ning Liang smiled: "Ruan Shaoxia doesn't have to worry, Ning Mou's life has to be kept to do many important things." If you need your help, you'll know. ”
At this point, Ruan Songyu didn't say anything more, held the short sword in his hand, and after a few ups and downs, he jumped out of the courtyard wall and disappeared into the night.
Seeing a few people leaving, Ning Liang turned around and said to Dongfang Wei's three mothers and sons, who were supporting each other, "Let's go." ”
"Dad!" At this time, Ning Rong, who was holding Dongfang Wei, who was injured in her legs and feet, suddenly shouted: "Can we really survive this time?"
Ning Liang put his hands behind his back, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said lightly: "Fan'er, Rong'er, you remember, your father will do everything in his power to protect our family. But if the moment comes when you really come to a dead end and have to die, I hope you will straighten your backs and die with dignity. ”
Dongfang Wei was silent and didn't speak, but looking at her two children with immature faces, tears couldn't stop flowing in her eyes.
When Ning Liang said that Ruan Songyu and the others should clean up the Stygian Fish Guard, the Stygian Fish Guards who were ambushed around Qidong County received a warning from their colleagues closest to Ning Mansion and immediately began to evacuate urgently.
These remote Stygian Fish Guards reacted quickly and quickly escaped from the range of Qidong County, but the few Stygian Fish Guards who were closer to Ning Mansion were not so lucky. In the night, a light Stygian Fish Guard was jumping quickly on the roof of the small county township, but in the next moment, a sword with a large door panel fell from the sky. The Stygian Fish Guard felt the strong murderous aura from behind, and began to quickly turn back left and right, trying to dodge the blow, but the sword followed like a shadow, firmly locking on this person, and in less than a breath, this huge heavy sword slapped down like a boulder, and the Stygian Fish Guard didn't even have time to scream, and was directly slapped from the roof to the ground, the bones of the whole body were shattered, and several places on the body almost turned into flesh.
Ouyang Tianhui was holding a heavy sword, but his steps landed lightly beside this corpse, he carried the sword to his shoulder, looked around for a while, and seemed to lock on to another target, but soon, he found that there was another person behind the Stygian Fish Guard.
That's Lin Qian. Lin Qian has always felt like a charlatan, and when he kills people, he also reveals a strange smell. The Stygian Fish Guard didn't dare to swagger across the roof, only dared to hide quietly in the darkness, trying to sneak away, but he didn't notice that someone was already approaching him in the shadows where he was hiding.
Just as the Stygian thought he could sneak into the nearby woods without anyone noticing, a hand reached his throat. The Stygian Fish Guard's pupils dilated instantly, and he was about to resist, but suddenly he felt a deadly burning sensation coming from his throat, and this heat was like pouring a spoonful of bubbling iron on him, directly penetrating the skin and burrowing into the flesh.
The Zhu Luan Divine Skill in Lin Qian's hand can burn the turtle shell in a very short time, let alone the flesh of a human being? In just an instant, this fish dragon guard knelt on the ground, staring at his eyes, clutching his throat, and his mouth kept retching, and soon, he fell to the ground, unable to make a sound again.
Ruan Songyu's performance was a little different. His non-offensive sword technique was inherited from Fang Qing, and it was the strongest defensive sword technique created by Fang Qing, but it was not as sharp as Ouyang Tianhui and Lin Qian in attack. Although Fang Qing was proficient in the world's swordsmanship, and Ruan Songyu had also learned a lot, he had studied Mohist academics and emphasized "love", so he didn't like to learn those powerful killing moves when he was learning swords, so when facing the Stygian Fish Guard at this time, he didn't kill these people immediately.
The non-attacking sword method pays attention to calculation and breaking moves, and Ruan Songyu actually controlled the three Stygian Fish Guards with a short sword in a very short period of time. And when he found another target, he just adjusted his defensive direction and method, and naturally led the three Styx Guards to the direction of the target he found, and then chased after them with ease and control, controlling the fourth Stygian Fish Guard.
It wasn't until the four Stygian Fish Guards were exhausted that Ruan Songyu effortlessly raised his sword and slashed across their necks, cleanly. At this time, Luo Yong had already led people to start moving the people of Qidong County out, and there were obviously a few Stygian Fish Guards who had mixed in with the crowd of people, but the task assigned by Ning Liang had almost been completed, and all they needed was to clean up this field. Ruan Songyu put the short sword into the scabbard at his waist, and said to Lan Sumei, who was floating over: "Senior Sister Lan, I went with Senior Brother Ouyang and Senior Brother Lin to guard a few important roads, so I will trouble you to check this place again." ”
Lan Sumei nodded, was about to leave, thought about it again, took out a bottle of medicine from her arms, handed it to Ruan Songyu, and said: "Senior Brother Ruan, this is the elixir specially made by Dream Wizard Bert, oral can cure internal injuries, chewed can be smeared to treat external injuries, you take it and share some with Senior Brother Ouyang and Senior Brother Lin, if you are injured for a while, it is good to have something to deal with." ”
Ruan Songyu smiled, took the medicine bottle, and watched Lan Sumei leave like the wind.
"Only besiege but not attack?" "Pharmacist Hong took the order handed by a Dark Fish Guard, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "There are so many of us, but the envoy let us only besiege and not attack?"
Guo Renpu patted Pharmacist Hong on the shoulder and said, "If you want to kill someone, you are not in a hurry at this time. Now that the envoy has given the order, let's carry it out. As the words fell, he stretched out a hand, held it high in the air, and made a few gestures. Countless pairs of bright eyes appeared in the darkness of the woods behind him, staring at Guo Renpu's hand, and the moment his hand finished making a gesture and fell, countless black-clothed people revealed their bodies from the hidden state, and a raging murderous aura appeared from their bodies, like hungry wolves, they jumped down from the cliff without hesitation, and pounced in the direction where Guo Renpu's arm was waving.
Guo Renpu and Hong Yaoshi did not move, still standing on the edge of the cliff and watching. Pharmacist Hong looked down at the instructions sent by Fang Cai's Stygian Fish Guard, and said, "There is another piece of information behind this...... There are only four of our enemies, and their martial arts, origins, and identities are unknown, and the Stygian Fish Guard speculates that they are from ...... The legendary Five Hidden Sects. ”
Guo Renpu nodded, and said with a serious expression: "Actually, before that, I also had some guesses. Where could so many young talents with superb martial arts suddenly emerge on the rivers and lakes? It is indeed possible for the Five Great Hidden Sects, and if this is the case, the matter will be complicated. ”
"How complicated can it be?" "Didn't you say that the imperial court had already made a contract with them and would not offend each other?" If it is confirmed that the Five Great Hidden Sects really interfered in Ning Liang's matter, we would have more and more people to kill!"
Hong Yaoshi fell back into the forest with bloody laughter, and Guo Renpu did not answer, closing his eyes in silence.
In the small county township, on the canopy and roof, Ruan Songyu and a few others are standing. Just as the Ichthyosaurus Guards from a few miles away poured out of the nest, the four of them felt that the atmosphere was condensed at the same time, and it became a little more difficult to breathe.
Ouyang Tianhui, who was very arrogant, also frowned, and said: "Yulongwei is really worthy of being the number one elite soldier in the world, and we can all feel a strong killing intent a few miles away." Senior brother and sister, get ready to fight!"
Ruan Songyu clenched the sword in his hand, and Lin Qian took advantage of this gap to stretch out his right hand and start calculating. After Lan Sumei groaned slightly, her long sleeves waved, and bursts of medicinal powder with a strange fragrance were scattered around by her, and soon disappeared into the night.
"Senior Brother Lan, this is ......" Ruan Songyu asked with some curiosity when he saw this.
Lan Sumei shook her head: "This is the poison that the master concocted, it is very effective, I don't want to use it under normal circumstances, but at this time, there are fewer enemies and more enemies, so I have to use it." The medicine I gave you just now, you can first press one pill to the bottom of your tongue, in case you want to rush into the poisonous mist, you can swallow it again, and you can also detoxify the poison. ”
When several people heard this, they hurriedly took out the medicine and put it in their mouths. Lan Sumei's master Huang Qianqian is the person who has the deepest research on poison among the three pillars of the world in this generation, claiming that a drop of medicine can poison a city, and her personality is also extremely eccentric, even if she is also a person in the three pillars of the world, many people are respectful of her, if the poisonous mist spilled by Lan Sumei is prepared by Huang Qianqian herself, then it must be very terrifying, Ruan Songyu No matter how confident they are, they dare not joke with their lives.
Soon, the killing intent spreading from afar was getting closer and closer, and the expressions of several people became more and more solemn. But suddenly, this killing intent no longer advanced, but began to disperse. A few people with keen senses could clearly perceive that these Ichthyosaurus guards who were flying from a few miles away were adjusting their formation, from a sharp knife to a net.
"There are so many of them, they didn't even come in?" Ouyang Tianhui's eyes widened, "What do you want?"
Seeing this, Lin Qian suddenly said in a heavy tone: "Oh no, Lord Ning, they are in danger." ”
