Chapter 44: The Dead Horse

After meeting Luo Qianli, Nie Sanjiang's mood can be described as half happy and half sad. After all www.biquge.info opponent is the No. 1 gang in Hedong Province, even if there is a master like Luo Qianli to help, I am afraid that there is not much certainty of victory. When the sun was setting, Nie Sanjiang counted the number of people, and then brought Liu Feichi and Luo Qianli to discuss important matters. The three of them found a no-man's corner and stopped. Nie Sanjiang looked up at the sky and said, "Daxia, Master Liuzhuang, if it gets late today, the people of the Decisive Victory Gang will come again at any time, and this seat is really a little worried." Luo Qianli said: "Mr. Nie, please rest assured, if the people of the Decisive Victory Gang dare to come to Kuafu Mountain to kill innocents indiscriminately, I will let them have no return!" Nie Sanjiang shook his head slightly and said: "The hero has misunderstood, what this seat is worried about is not this. Luo Qianli was slightly stunned and asked, "What's the matter?" As soon as the words came out, Liu Feichi on the side suddenly replied: "Presumably, what Mr. Nie is worried about is being outnumbered, right?" Nie Sanjiang nodded. Liu Feichi said: "Mr. Nie, just now I saw that you were counting the number of people, and I already guessed what you were thinking." Although there are less than 100 of us, we are all heroes who are not afraid of death, I ・・・・・・" As soon as the word "I" was finished, one of us shouted loudly: "Oh no, the mountain is on fire!" Nie Sanjiang and the others heard this, and hurriedly went to check. I saw that the top of the mountain was blazing, and the place where the fire was burning was the place where the cottage of the kwafu was located. Fortunately, there were no strong winds tonight and the fire showed no signs of spreading.

"Why are you stunned, go up the mountain to put out the fire!" Nie Sanjiang ordered loudly.

When they received the command, they immediately ran to the mountain. As soon as everyone walked a few steps, they heard several screams, and many Shangqing Sect disciples had already fallen to the ground.

"There is an enemy sneak attack, everyone be careful!" Nie Sanjiang hurriedly shouted. Although the word "be careful" has been shouted, the screams have not abated in the slightest.

Nie Sanjiang saw that most of the brothers who fell to the ground were killed by arrows, so he ordered again: "All lie on the ground, don't move!" Everyone lay on the ground according to their words. At the time of the order, Nie Sanjiang inadvertently saw Pu Luochen. I saw that he had already fallen to the ground, but there seemed to be a person under him, although I don't know who it was, but it could be seen from the outfit that the person under him was Liu Wenxi. What does a man mean when he suddenly presses a woman to the ground? Thinking of this, Nie Sanjiang couldn't help but secretly scold: "What the hell is this stinky boy doing!" As he spoke, he stepped forward, intending to stop the two of them. No, as soon as he took the first step, he felt the wind rise in front of his forehead, and a cold arrow had shot towards his face. Without waiting for Nie Sanjiang to dodge, the other party shot three arrows in a row. Wherever the arrows are directed, they are the key to man. Seeing this, Nie Sanjiang was able to avoid the misfortune of these arrows when he "turned over" and turned his body several times. Immediately, Nie Sanjiang lay down on the ground to prevent the other party from releasing arrows to attack him. By this time, the screaming had stopped, and a rush of horses' hooves followed. The sound got closer and closer, and before everyone could react, the sound of the horse's hooves abruptly stopped. At the same time, countless black shadows appeared in all directions, surrounding Nie Sanjiang and his party. Since the bonfire had not yet been extinguished, with the help of the fire, it was barely possible to see the appearance of the comer.

I saw that the other party was dressed in black, with a black scarf on his head, a mask on his face, a bow and arrow, a quiver on his back, a scimitar at his waist, and a short knife between his knees. The horses under him are all black, and only four of the horse's hooves are white, which is a rare "kicking cloud Wu Ya horse". Nie Sanjiang's sharp gaze swirled around the body of each comer, and he immediately came to a conclusion in his heart: There are forty-eight of them, could it be the legendary "Forty-eight Dead Horsemen"? "It is rumored that these forty-eight Dead Horsemen are the largest killer organization outside the Guan, and they have assassinated many court officials, because they are ruthless and extremely combative, so no one dares to provoke them in the officialdom and rivers and lakes. And because they often act at night, hence the name of "Dead Rider". Nie Sanjiang read in his heart: "There is a rumor in the rivers and lakes: "It is better to meet the king of Hades than to meet the underworld." If they really were forty-eight Soul Riders, it would be troublesome. Suddenly, there were a few "swishs", and those black-clothed people pulled out their scimitars one after another and killed Nie Sanjiang and his party. The other party didn't say a word, and then made a killing move, obviously to put Nie Sanjiang and his party to death. Seeing this, Nie Sanjiang immediately ordered everyone to retreat. Despite this, there are still many brothers who have died under each other's knives.

After Liu Feichi and the others repelled several dead riders, they hurriedly came to Nie Sanjiang to report the situation. I only heard Yu Qianli say: "Mr. Nie catches the head, it's not good, these people seem to have soft armor to protect themselves, and our brothers have suffered a big loss!" Liu Feichi said: "Mr. Nie catches the head, if we continue like this, we will definitely lose, let's find a way to escape!" Nie Sanjiang took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said to Liu Feichi: "Master Liuzhuang, tell the brothers, focus on their throats, so that you can kill the opponent with one blow." Liu Feichi took the order and left. As soon as Liu Feichi left, Nie Sanjiang said to Luo Qianli: "Luo Daxia, you are excellent in martial arts, you can run away with the rest of your brothers!" Luo Qianli hurriedly said: "Mr. Nie catches the head, if we leave, wouldn't it be very dangerous to leave you alone?" Nie Sanjiang couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't worry, Daxia Luo, how can these immortal horses be the opponents of this seat? This seat has its own way to deal with them!" Luo Qianli nodded and said: "Okay, Luo Mou will leave with his brothers now!" After speaking, he also left in a hurry.

There are many invulnerable treasures in this world, and soft armor is one of them. However, no matter how powerful the soft armor is, there will be places that it can't protect. As long as you find this vulnerability, it will not be difficult to deal with. Liu Feichi ordered someone to pass on the instruction of "specializing in the throat" to the disciples of the Shangqing faction, and after the remaining disciples of the Shangqing faction received the instructions, they changed their tactics one after another and attacked the throat of the other party. Our talent has a slight advantage. After Liu Feichi finished conveying the order, he suddenly remembered his daughter. Thinking of this, Liu Feichi was like crazy and desperately looking for his daughter in the crowd, and after looking for a while, he heard screams again and again, and the two riders fell to the ground and died. And the person who killed them was none other than Pu Luochen. I saw that Pu Luochen jumped and fell on the war horse of a ghost horseman, and then fled towards the no-man's corner with a woman, and that woman was Liu Wenxi. Seeing that his daughter was safe and sound, Liu Feichi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems that I, Liu Feichi, really want to thank Pu Zhutou!" Liu Feichi said in his heart.

At this moment, Liu Feichi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, and it turned out that he had been slashed by a dead horseman. Liu Feichi endured the pain, hit several flying needles in a row, and hit the person in front of the door, and the dead rider was killed instantly. After being injured, Liu Feichi no longer had the intention of fighting, so he shouted repeatedly: "Retreat! Brothers, retreat!" As soon as he finished shouting, several more horsemen surrounded Liu Feichi. Liu Feichi had to grit his teeth and fight hard. Due to the back injury, Liu Feichi's moves became a little sluggish, and in less than a moment, there were several more knife wounds on his body. Seeing that his life was in danger, he suddenly saw a person join the battle circle, and stabbed one of the Immortal Riders off his horse with a sword. Liu Feichi was taken aback, and looked intently, the person holding the sword was none other than Han Tianrun, the eldest disciple of the Shangqing Sect's Dongxuan Zhenren. Without waiting for Liu Feichi to react, another person appeared in a flash, and with a slap, he killed all the dead riders who surrounded Liu Feichi. Liu Feichi secretly exclaimed: "This person is so good at kung fu!" Looking at it fixedly, the person who came out of the palm was none other than the lay disciple of Shaolin Temple. Liu Feichi was about to open his mouth to thank him, but suddenly heard Yu Qianli say, "Master Liuzhuang, you are injured!" As he spoke, he ordered Han Tianrun to escape with Liu Feichi. Liu Feichi hurriedly asked: "Daxia, have the rest of the people escaped?" Luo Qianli hurriedly said: "Master Liu, don't ask so much, let's leave quickly!" After speaking, he waved his hand to Han Tianrun again. Han Tianrun immediately understood, and immediately left with Liu Feichi. After Han and Liu left, Luo Qianli rushed to Nie Sanjiang and told Nie Sanjiang about everyone's escape. Nie Sanjiang breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Since they have all left, it is your turn to be you and me!" As soon as the word "done" was finished, Nie Sanjiang grabbed two stones and knocked the two Immortal Riders off their horses.

"Hurry up and get on the horse with this seat!" Nie Sanjiang ordered to the side of the horse.

Immediately, the two of them jumped to their feet, fell into the horse's back like the eagle's predator, grabbed the reins of the horse with both hands, and drove them far behind in an instant.

"The forty-eight horsemen are all cavalry, and the cavalry is not good at walking mountain roads, so we can go up the mountain!" Nie Sanjiang said.

Luo Qianli nodded and took the order, and the two immediately ran towards the top of the mountain.

Due to the rugged and changeable mountain road, and it was night, it was inconvenient to ride a horse, so the two left their horses behind and set out on foot. Before he had gone far, he met Liu Feichi and Han Tianrun on the way. After walking a little further, he met some Shangqing sect disciples who had escaped one after another. After that, I didn't meet anyone else. Nie Sanjiang felt that something was wrong, so he gathered all the people around him together, counted the number of people, and in addition to the brothers who had died, only Pu Luochen and Liu Wenxi were missing. Nie Sanjiang's face changed sharply, and he hurriedly asked everyone if they had seen Pu and Liu. No, everyone shook their heads and denied it. When Wu was worried, he suddenly heard Liu Feichi say: "Mr. Nie, you don't have to worry, the little girl and Pu Zhutou have already fled." Nie Sanjiang was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "How can you see it?" Liu Feichi listened, and then briefly said what he saw Pu Luochen in the melee. When Nie Sanjiang heard that the two of them were fine, he was relieved, and said repeatedly: "It's okay if they're fine, it's okay if it's okay...... Nie Sanjiang ordered everyone to continue on their way. Everyone had just experienced a great battle, and they were all exhausted, and they just wanted to rest well, and they didn't want to spend any more energy. Therefore, after hearing Nie Sanjiang's order to continue on his way, many people showed dissatisfied looks. I could only hear one of the Shangqing disciples shouting, "I can't walk!" Then, several more people shouted, "I can't walk......

Seeing this, Nie Sanjiang's face sank, and he asked loudly: "What do you mean by this? Kuafu Cottage has been engulfed in flames, we should go to rescue those mountain people as soon as possible, how can we stay in the middle of the road and stop moving?" As soon as the words fell, one of the Shangqing Sect disciples could be heard saying: "Mr. Nie, we have just experienced a big battle, we are dead, we are injured, even if we arrive at that Kuafu Cottage, I am afraid that we will not be able to help." Therefore, let's let everyone rest for the night first!" What the disciple said was the truth, Nie Sanjiang had the intention to refute it, but after hearing these words, he didn't know how to speak. When he was depressed, he suddenly heard Liu Feichi speak: "Mr. Nie catcher, now among all the people, only you and Daxia and Han Xiaodao have not been injured, and Han Xiaodao needs to take care of a few injured juniors here, so please ask Mr. Nie and Daxia to go up the mountain to find out instead of me!" Nie Sanjiang heard this, he was overjoyed, nodded and said: "Lord Liuzhuang has a very good discussion, but this seat is worried that the people of the Immortal Rider will catch up with the mountain at any time, so let's let Daxia stay here to protect your safety!" After hearing this, Liu Feichi turned his head to look at Luo Qianli, and asked, "I don't know what the hero wants?" Liu Feichi said: "Since this is the case, then let the hero stay!" Nie Sanjiang bowed slightly, and then left.

Nie Sanjiang followed the mountain road to the cave where he had been with the green lotus girl before, and found that there was a horse in front of the entrance of the cave.

"Could it be that the people of the Immortal Rider are in the cave?" Nie Sanjiang pondered.

We don't know who we are, so we can only act in secret. Thinking of this, Nie Sanjiang quietly stepped forward and hid beside the entrance of the cave to investigate the situation inside. I saw that the fire in the cave was bright, and a person was squatting in front of the fire, adding firewood to the fire. Another woman sat next to the man, looking depressed. Nie Sanjiang took advantage of the light of the fire and looked carefully, only to realize that these two people were Pu Luochen and Liu Wenxi, who had escaped from the hands of the Dead Rider. When the Dead Riders besieged the people, the two of them escaped before the others, so they rushed to the cave early to rest. After recognizing the two of them, Nie Sanjiang appeared in front of the cave with confidence, and shouted: "Brother Pu, Miss Liu, it turns out that you are here!" Pu and Liu in the cave were taken aback, thinking that a wicked person was tracking here, so they quickly got up and shouted: "What kind of person? What are you doing here?" Nie Sanjiang replied loudly: "Brother Pu, Miss Liu, can't you even recognize this seat?" Pu, Liu and the two looked intently, only to see that the person who came was thick eyebrows and heroic spirit, not Nie Sanjiang, who could it be? Pu and Liu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this. I only heard Pu Luochen speak: "Master Hunting, it turned out to be you!" Nie Sanjiang nodded and said, "It's this seat." After hearing this, Pu Luochen glanced behind Nie Sanjiang a few times, and then asked: "Lord Chief, are you the only one, where are the rest of the people?" Nie Sanjiang replied: "Lord Liuzhuang, Han Xiaodao, they are all resting on the mountainside not far from here, and they did not come with this seat. Pu Luochen asked again: "Didn't those black-clothed people catch up?" Nie Sanjiang smiled: "Brother Pu doesn't have to worry about this. Although the forty-eight horsemen fought bravely on horseback, they were not good at fighting in the mountains, so they would not rush up the mountain. Pu Luochen nodded and said, "That's fine!" After Pu Luochen finished asking, Liu Wenxi on the side followed up and asked: "Mr. Nie, where is my father? Is he okay?" Nie Sanjiang knew that if he told the truth, he was afraid that it would make the other party frightened, so he had to prevaricate: "Miss Liu, please rest assured, Ling Zun is safe and sound!" Liu Wenxi heard Nie Sanjiang say this, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right," Nie Sanjiang suddenly remembered something at this time, and said, Kuafu's cottage was tragically engulfed in flames, I wonder if Brother Pu had ever gone up the mountain to investigate the matter?"

Pu Luochen shook his head and said: "Back to Mr. Nie, Pu has never gone up the mountain to investigate this matter. Nie Sanjiang couldn't help but look gloomy, and said, "Why don't you go to investigate?" Pu Luochen replied: "If I leave, wouldn't it be very dangerous to leave Miss Liu alone?" When the two were talking, Pu Luochen secretly checked Nie Sanjiang's face, and seemed to understand something in his heart, and said at the moment: "Master Catcher, Luochen knows why your old man is worried, but according to Luochen's opinion, Lord Hunt doesn't have to worry." ”

"Oh?" Nie Sanjiang was a little surprised and asked, how can you see it?"

Pu Luochen didn't answer the rhetorical question, and said, "Lord Chief Arrester should still remember the dungeon where we were once imprisoned, right?" Nie Sanjiang nodded and said, "Of course I remember!" Pu Luochen continued: "Since I remember, then Luochen will be blunt." Since there is a dungeon in Kuafu Cottage, how can there be no underground passage to escape?" Hearing this, Nie Sanjiang couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "What Brother Pu said is good. When the decisive gang attacked Kuafu Cottage, only a few guards in the cottage resisted, and the old, weak, women and children and other guards were gone. Pu Luochen said: "Therefore, Luochen believes that the fire did not hurt the people of the Kuafu clan, and we don't need to worry too much about their safety." Nie Sanjiang said: "Since this is the case, then let's go up the mountain tomorrow to find out!" Pu Luochen nodded and said, "Luochen obeys orders!"
