Chapter 250: Three years

Shen Liang, the sword master, lifted the corner of the tent curtain and peeked out, hoping that the three-year rush would come to an end, and within half a month, he would be able to return to the stone castle and regain the favor of the king.

As soon as he thought of the two young killers who had fled in front of his eyes, Shen Liang would feel a wave of anger, both against the fugitives and himself, and also a little on the royal lord, who surrounded the defector killers before Mrs. Meng, but the result was a disaster.

Who would have thought that Huan Nu would be able to fly away on a Dapeng bird, which is beyond the control of manpower.

Maybe he should have thought that the lotus girl would jump off the cliff and escape, the area around the ghost cliff was the path where the disciples of the Great Wilderness Gate stole to the top of the mountain, and the iron nails that were chiseled on the cliff wall had already been removed, but the nail holes were still there, but he didn't expect that the girl killer's light skills would be so good, he slipped down the rope, and then went down the mountain with the nails all the way, and by the time he reacted, it was too late.

Afterwards, the only remedy that the stone castle could do was to block all the nail holes, and at the same time set up an arrow tower at the Ghost Cry Cliff and send people to garrison it.

In order to make up for his mistakes a little, Shen Liang once tied a thin rope around his waist and personally went down to the cliff to observe, most of the nail holes have been blocked by the mud, and he can barely insert a finger.

Therefore, in Shen Liang's mind, the person he admires more is the lotus girl.

This female killer not only made a quick decision, but also dared and careful, she did not carry Huan Nu on her back, and climbed down the cliff alone at the last moment, obviously feeling that he was a burden and was likely to kill both of them.

What Shen Liang couldn't understand was why the Dutch girl betrayed, such an excellent killer would never be moved by love.

And she disappeared, without a trace, unlike that Huan slave, who killed people everywhere, leaving the Dapeng bird with a unique mark: a corpse without eyeballs.

Shen Liang regarded Huan Nu's actions as an open challenge to Jinpeng Castle, especially himself, and he followed those eyeless corpses, traveling to almost all the countries of the Western Regions, sending out a wave of killers, and every time they failed, the kid escaped.

Shen Liang had a feeling that the Dutch girl who had mysteriously disappeared must be hiding beside Huan Nu, as long as Huan Nu threw himself into the net today, he would be able to eliminate all the two defecting killers.

It was early in the morning, the camp was extremely quiet, the footsteps of the patrolling soldiers and the shaking of weapons were clearly audible, everything was normal, and even the soldiers did not know that the tent was ambushed by the top killers of Jinpeng Castle.

Shen Liang put down the curtain and looked back at the three people who looked nervous.

An old man with a dark face, with thick arms and a slight hunchback, was one of the most famous blacksmiths in the Shule Kingdom, especially skilled in swords, and the other two were young apprentices, so uneasy that they didn't even dare to glance up at the killer at the door.

Huan Nu blatantly demanded that the Shule ** battalion hand over the blacksmith, and Shen Liang thought it was a trap for a while, until he saw the letter with stiff and arrogant wording:

The head of the dragons, the king of the five peaks, Xiao Yuer, etc.: retreat for 300 miles in five days, leaving the blacksmith Daga.

There was no payment, and there was no name of Huan Nu, but Shen Liang knew that this was him, and the news of the riot in Daxue Mountain had already reached Jinpeng Castle.

Seven or eight months ago, the killer Yang Huan fled into the Great Snow Mountain, killed dozens of Danduofeng swordsmen with the help of the Dapeng Bird, and forced the patriarch Long Xiaoshi to shake hands with the old enemy Luoshen Peak, and then a series of battles, the Great Sword Peak, the Little Sword Peak, and the Huagai Peak all participated, and the intensity exceeded the results of the secret provocation of Jinpeng Castle for many years.

The hidden Jinpeng killer was either killed or escaped from the Great Snow Mountain, but the news of the war continued endlessly, and it never meant to be close to the end, so Shen Yu cautiously decided to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, until this "head of the dragons and king of the five peaks" suddenly appeared.

Shen Liang couldn't help but snort coldly, the son of a domestic servant and a defector killer dared to call himself "king", this Huan slave was probably crazy.

With this snort, the two apprentices stepped on the coals of fire, jumped suddenly, secretly looked at Master Daga, and immediately lowered their heads, for fear that one look would cause death.

Twenty killers lay in ambush in the small tent, but the blacksmith and apprentice could not see a trace of it.

Only the sword master Shen Liang has not been invisible, he believes that Huan Nu and Henu will definitely come to sneak attack, those two people are killers cultivated by Jinpeng Castle, even if people have betrayed, their behavior is still the same as that of killers.

Everything will end today.

On the fifth day of the threat of the "head of the dragons and the king of the five peaks", the sun had just risen, the dew on the blades of grass had not yet dried, and the soldiers guarding the barracks saw a knight slowly driving out of the pass of the Great Snow Mountain from a distance.

The news quickly spread layer by layer, and more and more people gathered in front of the barracks to look at the dark horse knight.

"He is the 'head of the dragons and the king of the five peaks'?" the general asked in surprise, feeling that the Jinpeng killer was really making a fuss and setting up an ambush, and the person they wanted to kill came over directly.

"Could it be that all the people in the Great Snow Mountain are dead, and he is left alone to proclaim himself king?" someone made this guess, which drew a burst of laughter.

"But where have all the scouts gone?" a few of them sounded cautiously skeptical, but their voices were drowned out by the commotion around them.

One of the general's own soldiers bent his bow and shot at the knight on the black horse, and the arrow grazed his shoulder, and the knight stopped the horse.

The laughter in the barracks was louder, and most of them were mocking the archery skills of their own soldiers.

Shen Liang didn't believe the news a little, but the voices outside became more and more noisy, and he had to come out to check, and the killers were still lying in ambush to prevent the enemy from attacking the west.

"Is that the person you're looking for?" asked the general.

Shen Liang nodded with a gloomy face, "Yes." ”

That is Huan Nu, even if he is far away, Shen Liang can recognize him, although that face has changed from a teenager to a young man, but the three years of running and fleeing have not carved too many traces, but his face is paler than Shen Liang's memory, as if he has been hiding underground and not seeing the light of day.

"Prepare to release the arrows. The general sent an order, he was affected by the Jinpeng killer and worried for several days, but he didn't expect that the "head of the dragons and the king of the five peaks" would be such a madman.

"Wait. Shen Liang was still not at ease, he only saw Huan Nu, not the Lotus Girl, although Huan Nu killed many people, but with the help of the red-topped Dapeng, in Shen Liang's mind, he was more impressed by the Lotus Girl's swordsmanship.

The general was a little unhappy, this was the military camp of Shule Kingdom, and the Jinpeng killer was just a guest, but he interfered with his orders, but he hid his dissatisfaction in his stomach, and there were still twenty killers hidden in the camp, so he had to act carefully.

Shen Liang summoned ten killers, there is no need to keep it secret at this time, the killers walked out of the barracks, lined up scattered, and greeted the dark horse knights, these people have their own division of labor, three killers are responsible for killing, seven monitor the situation in the air, and the big bird is the object they are most guarded against.

The killers carried knives in one hand and crossbows in the other, and the arrows were smeared with poison that sealed the throat with blood, enough to poison an elephant.

The soldiers of Shule Country couldn't help but pout secretly, this is not Biyu City, and they don't have a high acceptance of the behavior of having more enemies and fewer enemies, and even a little contempt.

The black-clothed knight did not dismount, but slowly raised a narrow knife unique to Jinpeng Castle, and then blew the horns hanging from his chest.

The officers and men of Shule had never heard such a high-pitched trumpet, and their hearts were shocked.

The ten killers nervously stopped, looking up into the sky for the cloud-like Roc bird.

The trumpets did not stop, and more knights poured out of the pass, and their swords lay flat on their shoulders, silently urging the horses to trot, only the roar of the horses' hooves trampling the earth was matched by the sound of the trumpets.

The faces of the general and his soldiers suddenly changed color, how many knights of the Great Snow Mountain were there, a thousand, two thousand, or more? They had never seen so many swordsmen appear at the same time, these rough mountain people had been fighting since birth, and it was a great achievement to be able to gather a team of hundreds of people.

There were less than a thousand soldiers in the barracks, and it was more than enough to intercept the scattered fugitive swordsmen, compared to the cavalry army on the opposite side that looked like the snow-capped mountains collapsing.

The horses picked up, the heavy sword left their shoulders, the killing air filled the heavens and the earth, and the smell of death filled everyone's nostrils.

The ten killers in front of the battle are like lonely trees standing in the wilderness, but they are facing a devastating storm.

Having hesitated between continuing with the order and turning around and fleeing, the killers lost their choice.

The swordsmen didn't even draw their swords, the horses drove by, and the ten killers were already in pieces.

"Arrows, arrows!" the general shouted, a premonition of destruction in his heart.

The soldiers hurriedly lined up their formations, bending their bows and arrows.

Above them, a dark cloud drifted by.

"Demon Bird!"

As soon as the frightened words fell, one of the soldiers had been caught in the air, and then fell screaming, the sound was so terrifying that half of the soldiers threw down their weapons and prepared to flee.

Shen Liang couldn't believe the scene in front of him, it was indeed Huan Nu, how could he really become the "head of the dragons and the king of the five peaks"?

He stumbled towards the tent, pushing all the soldiers who stood in his way to the ground, and even if the operation failed, he had to kill the blacksmith first, and not leave it to Huan Nu.

The camp was already in disarray, everyone was fighting for horses, and the general was ordering his own soldiers to fight their way through his own men.

No one paid attention to what was happening in the tent, so Shen Liang rushed in and saw that there were two more people inside, protecting the blacksmith and the apprentice.

A gentle and indifferent teenager with a long sword in his hand, and a girl with green eyes with a narrow knife in his hand.

The remaining ten killers were nowhere to be found.

Shen Liang hurriedly withdrew from the tent, he had lost his fighting spirit, and just wanted to escape with everyone.

The swordsman of the Great Snow Mountain rushed into the barracks, like a flood submerging all living creatures on the road, and the red-topped roc rose and fell, like a happy child playing his favorite game.

Shen Liang saw Huan Nu in the crowd jump off the black horse, put away the narrow knife, and pulled out the sword, and the knight torrent automatically separated around the "head of the dragons and the king of the five peaks", giving the two narrow knife holders the isolated island of a decisive battle to the death.

Shen Liang pulled out the narrow knife, he was the master of the knife in the Heart Washing Courtyard, and he was by no means an unknown person.

Inside the tent, the two apprentices were chattering, but the blacksmith Daga kept his composure and said, "I need a hundred pounds of Osan fine iron to make the sharpest sword in the world for your master." ”
