Chapter 955: Sudden Crisis Falls
"What's wrong, Ah Tian?" What should have been happy, looking at Xiao Tian's suspicious expression, Su Jia couldn't help but ask inexplicably. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I didn't ...... It's nothing ......" Xiao Tian immediately came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "Jia'er, you have not only recovered from your injuries, but also studied new knife techniques, which is a good thing......"
"Then why do you have an unhappy expression...... Su Jia was in a rare good mood, pouting and deliberately playful, "Is it that you think my self-created martial arts are very naïve, and deliberately laugh at me secretly?"
"Where is it?" Seeing that Su Jia was in the mood to joke, Xiao Tian still showed joy and said, "Our Jia'er is the best, she is simply a little genius!"
"If you hate it, you will have ......a poor mouth," Su Jia said with a red face and shyness, but in fact, her heart blossomed.
Xiao Tian thought about it, took the initiative to take Su Jia's hand, and said slowly: "Let's go, Jia'er, let's go back-"
"Hmm......" Su Jia nodded shyly, answered the word, and left the top of the mountain with Xiao Tian.
However, although he had a "deep relationship" with Su Jia just now, Xiao Tian seemed to have a bitter worry in his heart. Maybe he didn't want to show it in front of Su Jia, or maybe he had other concerns in his heart, Xiao Tian had been uneasy in his heart on the way back hand in hand......
"I didn't expect you to be able to get out of the haze so quickly, Jia'er, and study new martial arts, I have to say that you are really a genius, and the genius is beyond people's reach......" Xiao Tian smiled bitterly in his eyes, and said secretly in his heart, "It was originally the 'surprise' I wanted to give you, but I didn't expect you to walk in front of everyone...... It's been almost three years, and although you and I have become husband and wife, I can still only silently look at your 'back'......"
The inexplicable sentimentality in his heart, Xiao Tian's heartfelt words were said to himself alone......
The woods outside the village, deep in the valley......
The village head, Fang Yuan, was still the same as usual, mourning the deceased in the Stygian Valley in the early morning, and at this time he was cutting wood alone in the forest.
With the axe in his hand, the blade was vigorous, and the few cracks engraved on the front witnessed the vicissitudes of Fang Yuan's more than ten years of precipitation and loneliness. Although lonely, the belief in my heart has not changed, and I have walked through the years steadily, and I have experienced countless ...... without seeing the world
As usual, after tying up the firewood, Fang Yuan was about to go back and forth home, but suddenly there was a strange movement from the depths of the jungle, which made him unaware of the alarm for half a minute.
What's more, this kind of movement was very familiar, Fang Yuan seemed to realize something, and his expression changed......
With an idea, Fang Yuan jumped onto the stone rock, and through the condescending and the cover of the branches, he faintly observed behind the mountain rock corner where the movement came.
However, the scene in front of him was surprising, but in Fang Yuan's opinion, it was expected......
Amid the sound of the bushes, several figures suddenly appeared in the darkness - it was the Mengyuan soldiers, in a row of three or five, like shadows lurking, slowly approaching in the direction of the village.
Fang Yuan recognized that these officers and soldiers were the troops who had come to harass the village - since he had lived in seclusion in the village, the village had experienced many "loots" by the imperial court in the past fifteen years, but fortunately, he was able to protect the villagers and take refuge safely every time, and he was alone with them, and finally drove the enemy out of the village.
Of course, the Mengyuan court has been in the past ten years with continuous civil wars and warlords, and it is impossible to concentrate on it, but there is a hidden village, and the court has not paid much attention to it, and the troops sent each time are only scattered.
And as time passed, the imperial court also knew that Fang Yuan, the village chief who protected the village, was the general who led the army to defeat and destroy here fifteen years ago. Fifteen years of dealing with it, the enemy retreated alone, knowing Fang Yuan's ability, the Mengyuan army also changed - this attack force sneaked in, no longer as in the past, with great fanfare, and slowly approached outside the village forest without knowing it.
But all this still made Fang Yuan find out. Fang Yuan seemed to have decided something, buried himself slightly, and lurked behind a thick log......
The Mengyuan soldiers in the front row were scattered in pairs, as if they were investigating the situation of the figures at the entrance of the village, and after making sure that the vicinity was safe, the troops connected one layer after another, and then slowly moved forward.
However, "groping" gradually approached the tree, behind the trunk where Fang Yuan was hiding......
"Wow-" The sharp blade flashed, Fang Yuan's eyes were quick, and the plate axe in his hand slashed horizontally, hitting the forehead of the "probe" soldier, only to hear a resolute scream, and the Meng Yuan soldier was killed on the spot.
"Ahh
Fang Yuan saw it in his eyes, he was calm and composed, and his left hand held the opponent's wrist impartially, and the Meng Yuan soldiers were not allowed to move...... Suddenly reversing his strength, Fang Yuan reversed a clean move - the soldier's Miao knife was reversed, and he pierced his body in the middle, screaming miserably, and it was bloody.
Shot to assassinate two pawns, Fang Yuan, who was born as a general, made a decisive and fatal surprise attack, and after fifteen years of tempering vicissitudes, the power of bravery was not inferior to that year......
Although he killed two people in vain, it didn't matter if he made a move, and his location was directly exposed. The Meng Yuan soldiers who followed behind saw the movement, dozens of columns, slowly approaching with their footsteps.
This time the court attack came suddenly, and the action was quiet, and it seemed to be premeditated. Time was pressing, and Fang Yuan had to inform the villagers as soon as possible. The bell of the warning is at the top of the mountain, and the fastest way is to climb up from here, ring the bell alarm, and then run back to the village on a shortcut, and move all the villagers safely before the Mengyuan army enters the village.
Having made up his mind, Fang Yuan simply threw the firewood on his back to the ground, took two steps forward, and climbed directly to the top of the slope......
The firewood made a sound when it landed, and the Meng Yuan soldiers quickly noticed the movement...... "There is someone there-" The leading soldiers shouted, and in an instant, hundreds of soldiers who emerged from the dark forest surrounded the place of the incident.
Fang Yuan climbed the slope as fast as he could, and when he saw that the Mengyuan army at the foot of the mountain had reached the entrance of the village, he hurriedly tightened the alarm of the bell sounding on the top of the mountain......
"Bell-bell-bell-bell ......" suddenly, in the village of Anyin in the surrounding forest valley, the bell ringing spread throughout the village, and the villagers who were still working and resting in the village heard the long-lost "refuge bell ringing", and they were nervous, frightened and afraid.
"Oh no, the officers and soldiers are here again-" "It's the officers and soldiers of the imperial court who are coming, everyone is about to flee to the Stygian Valley Mountain-" "Dad-Mother......" The whole village suddenly fell into panic, and there were cries of danger everywhere, and the originally peaceful and peaceful Anyin Village will soon become a "land of misery"......
"Bell-bell-bell-bell-bell......" On the way back to the village in the Stygian Valley, Xiao Tian and Su Jia also heard the alarm bell......
"What's the matter with this bell, is there something wrong in the village?" Xiao Tian, who didn't understand the "rules", couldn't help but be worried when he heard the bell ringing.
"The bell is ringing urgently, it seems like this......" Su Jia's expression suddenly became serious, and she replied, "We can't stay here, we have to go back to the village quickly-"
"Hmm-" Xiao Tian nodded, ready to run back to the village with Su Jia.
However, before I ran a few steps down the mountain, I saw a few "fast" villagers, carrying their net worth packages and rushing to the mountain of the Stygian Valley. Su Jia looked at the panic of the villagers and knew that something terrible had happened, so she couldn't help but block the road and ask, "What's the matter, why are the villagers running up the mountain?"
"It's the imperial court...... The imperial court sent officers and soldiers to attack the village, and everyone was rushing to the cave of the Stygian Valley to take refuge—" said a panicked villager.
"What are you talking about, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, it is the troops of the Yuan army......" After listening to this, Su Jia couldn't help but be worried when he thought of the frequent battles in Tongguan in the past few days, and the officers and soldiers sent were no different from the army.
"This is not the first time, every time the officers and soldiers attack, we rush to the top of the mountain......," said another villager on the same road, "Every time they attack the village, we hide in the cave to avoid the limelight...... The officers and soldiers of the court did not know that we were hiding there, and we would not be safe until the village chief helped us drive away the officers and soldiers......"
"Every time the village chief is alone, he can drive away Meng Yuan's officers and soldiers......" Hearing this, Xiao Tian said incredulously.
"Now is not the time to talk about this...... "Realizing the urgency of the matter, Su Jia said with a serious expression, "Ah Tian, we have to hurry back to the village to save the villagers, and take advantage of the fact that Meng Yuan's troops have not yet entered the village, and move everyone to the mountain-"
"Well, I know—" Xiao Tian replied calmly, and then he and Su Jia performed light skills together and ran towards the entrance of the village under the mountain......
When the officers and soldiers attacked, the people in the village fled en masse, and by the time Xiao Tian and Su Jia rushed back to the village, the villagers had rushed to the mountains one after another. However, there are still young and old people with mobility difficulties, and the officers and soldiers are approaching the crisis, and they urgently need the help of others, including the old woman who takes care of Xiao Tian and Su Jia.
At this time, the village chief Fang Yuan finished ringing the alarm bell, rushed back to the village from the slope and took a shortcut, and stepped up the organization of the transfer of the villagers......
"Village Chief-" Seeing the village chief hurrying back, Xiao Tian greeted in response.
"The officers and soldiers are faster than we thought-" Fang Yuan showed a nervousness that he had never felt before, and said anxiously, "This time they didn't attack blatantly, but chose to sneak in, if I hadn't found out in time at the entrance of the village, their large army would have entered the village at this time...... There are quite a few enemies, and time is pressing, at most, the officers and soldiers will come here, so we must quickly support the old and young here, and take refuge in the mountain valley as soon as possible!"
"Village chief, just leave the matter of delaying the officers and soldiers to us, you quickly take your grandmother and them to the mountains for refuge-" At the moment of crisis, Xiao Tian stepped forward and said righteously.
"No!" However, Fang Yuan resolutely said, "Just leave it to me here, I know how to deal with them...... Xiao Shaoxia, you and Miss Su have a response, you take the villagers up the mountain!"
"But the village chief-" Xiao Tian seemed to be still hesitating, after all, no matter how experienced he was, it was simply difficult for one person to face the pressure of so many officers and soldiers.
"Hurry up, if you don't leave, it's too late!-" Fang Yuan was determined to stay, blocking in front of the two of them, and shouted at Xiao Tian Su Jia behind him.
There is no way, the situation is critical, there is no hesitation, since Fang Yuan has experience and knows how to deal with the enemy, Xiao Tian and Su Jia looked at each other, ready to work together to cover the villagers and go to the Stygian Valley for refuge......
"No, you can't ...... yet" Who knows, at this time, the old woman was full of anxiety and said, "Xiaohua...... My granddaughter is still collecting medicine in the mountains outside the village, and she hasn't come back yet......"
"Grandma, what are you talking about?--Xiaohua, she ......" Su Jia heard this, and her emotions were suddenly tense and urgent.
At the critical moment, Xiao Tian stood up and shouted at Su Jia: "Jia'er, you take Grandma and the villagers to take refuge first, and I'll save Xiaohua-"
"Ah Tian-" Xiao Tian was in urgent danger, ready to save Xiaohua alone, Su Jia was worried.
"Don't worry, Jia'er, I will come back safely......" Xiao Tian cast a confident gaze at Su Jia, and then swore to the old woman, "Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely bring Xiaohua back safely!"
"Ah Tian ......" Looking at Xiao Tian's resolute eyes, Su Jia felt unconsciously in her heart.
"Please, you must save my granddaughter......" The old woman pinned all her hopes on Xiao Tian and instructed her words.
"Hmm-" Xiao Tian nodded confidently, then turned around and performed light skills, flying towards the valley outside the village.
"Ah Tian, you must come back safely with Xiaohua...... Xiao Tian's resolute back gradually walked in front of him, and Su Jia prayed silently in his heart......
The division of labor was completed immediately, the village chief stayed in the village to delay the enemy, Xiao Tian went alone to rescue Xiaohua, who was still outside the village, while Su Jia continued to organize the villagers to go to the top of the mountain to take refuge in the Stygian Valley......
At this moment, as the old woman said, Xiaohua took Ah Mao with her and collected medicine in the valley outside the village. Saying goodbye to Xiao Tian early this morning, he was safe and sound outside the village, but he suddenly heard the alarm bell in the direction of the village, and knew that the Mengyuan officers and soldiers were coming, and Xiaohua, who was isolated for a while, was a little at a loss. At this time, it is impossible to go back to the village, and I am worried that my grandmother, who is still in the village, will also encounter the danger of Mengyuan officers and soldiers at any time......
Sure enough, in a panic, Xiaohua led Ah Mao to walk halfway up the mountain, and saw more than a dozen soldiers coming with knives down the slope, and seemed to have found their traces.
"There's a girl up there, grab her—" shouted the leader of the officers and soldiers, looking up, into the hill.
Xiaohua heard the devil's cry, and ran in the direction of the mountain in the direction of the mountain. But even if he really ran to the top of the mountain, it was just a dead end, and he could never escape from the palms of Meng Yuan's officers and soldiers.
"Run, Mao—" Xiaohua took Mao by the hand and continued to run up the hill. But before turning the corner of the mountain, several Mengyuan soldiers had already climbed the rock, and after a while, they caught up with Xiaohua.
"Stop, don't run!" the Meng Yuan soldier shouted behind him, approaching aggressively with a sharp blade in hand. The more scared Xiaohua was in her heart, let alone turning back, it was too late for her to escape......
"Oops-" Suddenly she stumbled, and Xiaohua didn't pay attention to the rocky mountain path because of fear and anxiety, and her left foot tripped over a stone, and her whole body fell to the ground.
Ah Mao was loyal to the master, and when he saw Xiaohua fall, he did not run away again, but did not abandon his side.
"Ah Mao, run, ......" Xiaohua was close to the crisis, but she still cared about the life of her dog, and shouted with all her might.
At this time, the Meng Yuan soldiers had already raised their knives and forced them to Xiaohua......
