Chapter 33: Separate Interception (1)
Just received the news from the Loyalty Alliance, Xue Youyou was surprised, but did not immediately set off to rush to the helm of the Loyalty League under the mountain, but called Shui Xinying over. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Fang Cai Zuo Yusong sent a message that Master Xu of the Jeju Branch of the Loyal Alliance had just been assassinated on the way back to Jeju, and his subordinates were also damaged, so you should go over and check the situation on behalf of the division first. ”
"Yes, Master. Shui Xinying hurriedly gave a salute and retired.
Fang walked out of the inner hall, and Shui Lingluo caught up from nowhere, "Master, where are you in a hurry?"
"Something happened in the Loyalty Alliance, and the Sect Master ordered me to take a look. Shui Xinying replied as she walked, looking in a hurry.
"Oh?" Shui Lingluo's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Then I'll go with you, it's been a long time since there's been such a lively scene!"
"Nonsense!" Shui Xinying had to pause, "Have you ever practiced the swordsmanship that I ordered you to practice yesterday?" I will check your homework when I come back today, if you don't practice well, be careful to punish you to the back mountain to face the wall!"
Shui Lingluo immediately lied without blinking: "I'm ripe! I got up before dawn today to practice my sword, and I have already mastered that set of swordsmanship." Master, you can take Luo'er with you, and maybe there will be a chance for me to practice that set of swordsmanship for you in the hands of the enemy. ”
Shui Xinying glanced at her, "Who told you that you would fight the enemy here?"
Shui Lingluo smiled "hee", "Just now I met the person who came to deliver the message from the Loyal Alliance, and he has already told me that one of the helmsmen of the Loyal Alliance has just been killed. Master, you see that you have brought two senior sisters with you, in case of any emergency, Luo Er is also a good helper, right?"
Shui Xinying hesitated slightly, and finally nodded: "Okay, you can come together." But in front of the people of the Loyal Alliance, you must not talk nonsense, everything must be done according to the instructions of the teacher, you can do it?"
Shui Lingluo stuck out his tongue and replied lightly: "Luo'er wrote it down." ”
Shui Xinying glanced at this naughty and willful lover again, shook her head and smiled, and went down the mountain first.
Before entering the gate of the main hall of the Loyalty League, Shui Xinying heard a commotion from behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that several subordinates of the Loyalty League covered in blood staggered over, and there were several wounded or dead people carrying them behind one after another.
Shui Xinying stopped and let the latecomers enter the lobby, and she followed in.
I saw that one of the people who had just come in was announcing to Zuo Yusong, who had just stood up from his seat in shock by the tragic scene in front of him: "Deputy Alliance Master Zuo, we were just attacked on the way back to Qingzhou, and Lord Xing and Mrs. Helmsman were all killed!"
"What?!"
Zuo Yusong's voice could no longer maintain its usual calm and composure, and hurriedly asked, "Can you see the appearance of the murderer clearly?"
"The murderer was masked, and his attack was extremely fierce and swift, and although we tried desperately to protect each other, he still killed the helmsman and his wife within a few moves. ”
"You're saying there's only one murderer?"
"Yes. It seems that he must have been premeditated, and he suddenly attacked without saying a word, and when he succeeded, he turned around and fled, without stopping at all. ”
Shui Xinying suddenly spoke out and asked, "Deputy Alliance Leader Zuo, which other helmsmen are returning today, and in which direction are they going?"
Zuo Yusong was shocked and said, "Could it be that the water woman thinks that the other party will intercept and kill them separately?"
"With this possibility, they must have known everything about yesterday's gathering at the helm of the Loyalty Alliance, so they will have today's interception and killing. ”
Someone on the side has reported: "Due to heavy snowfall, there are only a few helmsmen who set off this morning, in addition to the Xu helm master in Jeju and the Xing helm master in Qingzhou, there are also Chen helm masters in Jingzhou, in addition, Han helm masters in Quanzhou and Shang helmsmen in Huizhou also got up early and set off together." ”
Zuo Yusong pondered and said: "Now the two helmsmen of Jeju on the East Road and Qingzhou on the West Road have been ambushed, and the rest are Quanzhou and Huizhou on the South Road, and Jingzhou on the North Road. ”
Shui Xinying immediately said: "Deputy Alliance Master Zuo, you and I will each rush to help all the way, I will go to the North Road to meet Lord Chen Helm, I hope it is still too late!"
After speaking, she didn't wait for Zuo Yusong to say anything, she took her disciples, and hurriedly turned around and walked out of the hall.
Zuo Yusong had no time to care about Shui Xinying's self-assertion at this time, but secretly admired her decisiveness and resoluteness, especially for the affairs of the Loyalty Alliance. Before he could think about it, he was also busy recruiting people and rushed to the south road to rescue the two helmsmen of Quanzhou and Huizhou.
Fang walked out of the gate of the Loyalty and Righteousness Alliance, and Shui Xinying immediately ordered a female disciple who followed her to rush back to the mountain immediately, and the new situation was revealed to the snow. Then, she took another female disciple and Shui Lingluo with an excited face, and galloped away north.
They had run less than five miles in the snow before a forest appeared in front of them, and the sound of shouting and fighting could be faintly heard from the forest.
Shui Xinying flew off her horse not far from the woods, motioning for the female disciple to take the three of their horses away, and then she quietly touched the forest. And Shui Lingluo had already followed closely with a tacit understanding, and one hand had unexpectedly put on the hilt of the long sword at his waist.
When she got close to a certain distance, Shui Xinying stopped and calmly observed the respective situations of the two sides who were fighting in the forest.
Among them, the side that has been clearly defeated is the Loyal Alliance, most of the people lying on the ground are from their side, and most of the dozen or so people who are still resisting are also wounded. Among these people, the rudder master Chen Yingcheng's injuries should be considered the lightest, only blood was seen on his back and thighs, and it seemed that they were only slight scratches, which did not affect his actions.
Shui Xinying quickly locked her eyes on the gray-clothed masked man who was fighting Chen Yingcheng, and it was obvious that he was the leader of the black-clothed masked man who was fighting with Chen Yingcheng's men.
What makes Shui Xinying feel strange is that the real martial arts of this gray-clothed masked man are higher than Chen Yingcheng, but the reason why he has not succeeded for a long time should be that he has not used all his strength, and the swordsmanship he uses is quite jerky and sluggish, it seems that he has just practiced and has not yet reached the realm of maturity, so he is using Chen Yingcheng to test the sword.
After looking at it for a while, seeing that Chen Yingcheng was already stretched thin and tired of coping, Shui Xinying wanted to show up to save him, but he didn't expect Shui Lingluo behind him to suddenly rise up, and stabbed straight at the side of the gray-clothed masked man's neck with an extremely powerful sword!
The gray-clothed masked man also reacted amazingly, and when he heard the sound of a sword roaring above his head, he hurriedly dodged and dodged, and at the same time swung his sword diagonally to catch a sword that Chen Yingcheng took the opportunity to stab from the side.
Shui Xinying frowned slightly, stepped forward, and began to clean up those black-clothed masked people.
Although the gray-clothed masked man was superior to Shui Lingluo and Chen Yingcheng, he still had time to peek at the situation on Shui Xinying's side, but at a glance, he couldn't help but be shocked, knowing that he was by no means the opponent of this plain-clothed female swordsman. He was originally a decisive person to kill, but when he saw that the situation was unfavorable, he immediately had the intention of retreating, and after a few tricks, he quickly dodged and fled to the depths of the forest.
Although the gray-clothed masked man's movements were extremely fast, Shui Xinying's sword, which had never taken his mind off him for a moment, was faster, and with a flick of her wrist, the long sword flew out of her hand, hitting the opponent's heart like a thunderbolt.
The timing of this sword's attack was extremely accurate, just in time when the gray-clothed masked man's old strength was about to be exhausted and the new power was not born, so he had no chance to stop his body and avoid it, so he only had time to move forward diagonally, barely avoiding the heart position, but it still let the long sword penetrate nearly half a foot from behind, almost piercing his chest!
However, with the remaining strength of the sword, the gray-clothed masked man finally plunged headlong into the dense forest.
Seeing that the leader was injured and fled, those black-clothed masked men not only did not flee with them, but instead swung their swords fiercely and pounced on Shui Xinying and the others, although they were knocked down one by one in only a moment, they still won precious time for their leader to escape.
By the time Shui Xinying chased after him into the depths of the dense forest, he had already disappeared from the gray-clothed masked man, leaving only a few pools of bloodstains on the snow.
