Dark Arrow Chapter 84: The Beginning of the Dark Arrow (1)
"Zhuang Master!" The sixteen disciples of the Dragon Guardian Villa saw the tragic death of the Zhuang Lord, their eyes were split, and they rushed to the Zhang brothers with their spears in unison.
The Zhang brothers were like wolves into the flock, and when the two knives flew over, the two disciples fell down with a miserable cry.
Just like that, Nangong Ziyan had jumped out more than ten zhang away, and the two disciples of the Nangong family followed him and ran wildly.
Zong Kun and Xu Jinshan both snatched out and chased after Nangong Ziyan.
The brocade guards rushed up and surrounded the fourteen disciples of the Dragon Guardian Villa who were fighting against the Zhang brothers.
The Zhang brothers jumped out of the encirclement of their outstanding companions in the air, and followed Zong and Xu in pursuit.
The two disciples of the Nangong family turned around and raised their swords to meet Zong Kun.
With a "bang", a dark cloud-like iron chain swung out, wrapping around a disciple's waist.
Zong Kun shook his hand, and the disciple was swept off the ground and flew up, with a "bang", his head hit the trunk of a tree, the body of the tree shook violently, and the leaves fell, and the disciple fell to the ground heavily, and his brain was already bursting.
Another disciple approached with red eyes, and stabbed Zong Kun in the lower abdomen with a sword.
Zong Kun's arms shook, stretched the iron chain in front of him straight, and with a "clang" sound, he blocked the abdomen-grabbing sword, and his right leg flashed out at the same time, and the kick of "Peng" was kicking on the disciple's chest. The disciple's sternum was immediately broken, blood spurted out of his mouth, and he fell to the ground with a "snap", his body convulsed, and he saw that he could not live.
Xu Jinshan saw that he couldn't catch up with Nangong Ziyan, and pressed the handle of the iron fan, and in the sound of "whoosh", more than a dozen silver needle-like hidden weapons flew out from the fan bone and hit Nangong Ziyan's heart.
Nangong Ziyan heard the sound of the wind behind him, and his arms soared into the sky, and all the hidden weapons were missed.
At the same time, a dazzling cold light swept across the black and hemp night sky, and went straight to Nangong Ziyan's heart like lightning.
Although Nangong Ziyan could hear the sound of breaking the air behind him, it was just when the old power was about to be exhausted and the new force was not born, how could he dodge it?
With a "poof", Nangong Ziyan in mid-air was nailed to the chest by the knife, and fell to the ground like a paper kite with a broken thread.
Zhang Chuanhao sneered, and the two jumped to Nangong Ziyan's body, bent down, pulled out the bloody saber, wiped it on the grass, and put the knife into the sheath.
How could the fourteen disciples of the Dragon Guardian Villa who were surrounded resist the attack of the Jinyi guards? In the blink of an eye, blood splattered and screamed in the encirclement, and six of them had already fallen to the ground, leaving only eight scarred disciples who were still resisting stubbornly, with a terrifying and desperate roar coming out of their throats.
Zhao Yanhao's blood suddenly surged, he shouted, jumped into the encirclement, swept his arms, and in the sound of "choking", the blade fell to the ground, and several brocade guards screamed and fell.
Seeing that it was his own person, all the Jinyi guards looked at each other in shock, and for a moment they didn't understand why he was like this, and they were shocked by his terrifying martial arts, so they all took a few steps back.
The eight disciples of the Dragon Guardian Villa didn't know why, and while gasping for breath, they looked at the stranger beside them in amazement.
"Yan Hao, what are you doing here?!" Miao Yizhen shouted with anger on his face.
"Uncle Shi, spare them, okay?" Although Zhao Yanhao was a little weak-hearted, he still stood up and looked at his sharp gaze and pleaded loudly.
Miao Yizhen's face was cold, staring at him coldly, seeing that he was not afraid, his complexion gradually eased, and asked in a deep voice: "Why?"
"Uncle Shi, they are just small feet who act on orders. ...... I thought, "Why should we kill innocents indiscriminately when their leaders have been condemned?"
"Indiscriminate killing of innocents?!" Miao Yizhen snorted heavily, his face was cloudy, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face, "Yan Hao, then what do you say?...... Is it possible to let them go back to ventilate the news?"
"Uh...... That's not good!" Zhao Yanhao thought for a while and said, "Uncle Shi, why don't you imprison them in this temple, is it okay?"
Miao Yizhen pondered for a moment and said happily: "Okay." It's up to you!"
Zhao Yanhao was overjoyed, turned to the eight disciples of the Dragon Protector Villa and shouted, "Our lord is willing to spare you, why don't you abandon your weapons and surrender quickly!"
The eight disciples were skeptical, but they refused to lay down their weapons and let them be slaughtered, but instead held the spears in their hands tighter.
Zhao Yanhao suddenly stepped forward, his hands were handed out like butterflies wearing flowers, the eight spears were already caught in his hands, and then his fingers were like the wind, and the "Jizhong Acupoint" of the eight disciples was hit almost at the same time, and he immediately fell to the ground and couldn't move.
"Good kung fu!" the brocade clothes and guards thundered, and many people shook their heads in disbelief.
As a result, these eight disciples escaped death and were imprisoned in a side room in the courtyard.
Night falls. The dark ancient temple crouches lonely on the mountainside, and the fire is faintly shining inside.
Dozens of brocade guards were scattered around the ancient temple, vigilantly watching the movements around them.
A large group of brocade guards stood or sit, staying quietly in the monastery.
More than ten pine resin torches were inserted on the four walls of the main hall, and the hall was still bright.
Miao Yizhen sat on a broken incense case, with a layer of wheat straw under his buttocks. Next to him stood the energetic Zhao Yanhao, who liked to stand and felt that way he would not be depressed.
On the ground in front of them, a layer of wheat straw was also paved, and more than ten backbones such as the Zhang brothers, Xu Jinshan, Zong Kun, Gao Jinlou, Feng Gang, Qu Hongtao, Shao Feng, Qiu Yundan, Zhai Dacheng, Zhan Huairen, Yu Yuan, and Mu Shipeng sat on the ground.
Zhao Yanhao was only familiar with the first seven people, and had a relationship with Shao Feng, and the rest of the people didn't know each other. At that moment, Xu Jinshan introduced Shao Feng and others to Zhao Yanhao one by one.
Shao Feng's face was white and thin, he was in his thirties, with a black soft whip wrapped around his waist, and his speech and demeanor seemed very calm.
Qiuyun is pale black and tall, twenty-six or seven, with a long sword on his back, although he is not good at words, he looks very capable.
Zhai Dacheng's round head and face, he can't see his real age, with a steel knife hanging from his waist, smiling Mimi is a bit like a Maitreya Buddha who hides a knife in his smile.
Zhan Huairen's eagle-eyed and thin face, neither smiling, nor seeing what weapons to use, gave people a deep and fierce impression.
Yu Yuan has a sturdy body, about forty years old, and a long horse-chopping knife on his back, which looks very strong.
Mu Shipeng has a thick skeleton, but he is not very strong, his weapon is the sun and moon wheel, and his expression and demeanor look a little arrogant. Zhao Yanhao remembered that when he was hugging wheat straw in the firewood stack in the corner of the courtyard just now, a snake suddenly sprang out, and it was this person who grabbed it and pulled it into two sections, so this person gave him the impression that he was very fierce.
Miao Yizhen waited for everyone to be quiet and said with a smile: "Because this area is the territory of the Nangong family, and there are their eyeliner everywhere, we have to find this remote place as our base camp." The conditions are a little harder, I hope you can understand and overcome ......"
"When dealing with their eyeliner just now, many people may think that I am a little vicious," Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhao Yanhao intentionally or unintentionally, shook his head and said, "But, will people treat our brothers with kindness?"
Miao Yizhen looked stunned, slowly took out a crumpled piece of paper from his sleeve, and sighed: "This is the news that just came from Nangong Villa in the evening. We paid a heavy price for this news – the life of a brother......! Let's all take a look!"
Everyone stood up and stared at the piece of paper in unison.
"The hound has been exposed, killed. The enemy is trying to divert the target, act quickly!"
"My lord, who sent this?" After a while, Xu Jinshan asked the doubts in everyone's hearts.
"Our brother - lurking in Nangong Villa. ”
"My lord, what target is the enemy going to transfer?" asked Yu Yuan.
"The treasure that was stolen back then. Miao Yizhen said in a deep voice: "The exposure of the hound has aroused a high degree of vigilance among the enemy. Therefore, the key to this battle lies in speed! Whoever is fast will be able to take the lead!"
Speaking of this, he stood up violently and said solemnly: "This operation is called Dark Arrow. Starting tonight, Operation Dark Arrow has officially begun!"
He glanced at all his subordinates one by one, and said in a deep voice: "The Dark Arrow operation is carried out in three steps: the first step is to find out the hiding place of the treasures stolen by the Nangong family back then; the second step is to attack the Nangong family and take out the treasures; and the third step is to escort the people of the Nangong family and the treasures back to Beijing to restore their lives. Is it all clear?"
"Yes. ”
"Good. What follows is, of course, the first step,—— which is also the most difficult step,—— to find out where the treasure is hidden!" Miao Yizhen said this, glanced sideways at Zhao Yanhao, and said slowly: "This arduous task will be completed by Yanhao!"
"Ah?...... Me?" Zhao Yanhao was taken aback, "Uncle Shi, the little nephew has never been to the Nangong family at all, how can he ......?"
"Alas, listen to me!" Miao Yizhen interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "I will send someone to assist you!"
Zhao Yanhao looked at him with an inquiring gaze.
"They kept the treasure in a very secret place, which is difficult to imagine, and the men I sent have been secretly observing it for more than six years, and have not found the slightest clue. ...... Now, the only one who can find the treasure is the old thief, so you must take him to assist you......"
Zhao Yanhao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But...... His hands and feet are all useless, let alone walking, it is difficult to even crawl, how can he enter Nangong Villa?"
"Can't you go in with him on your back?" Miao Yizhen shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Yan Hao, with your martial arts, it should be fine, right?"
Zhao Yanhao smiled bitterly: "That's all it can be." ”
"There is no other good way, I can only work hard for you!" Miao Yizhen patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Of course, I will also send someone to assist you!" Speaking of this, he glanced at the subordinates in front of him one by one with a selective gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Chuanhao! Zhang Chuanmiao! Shao Feng! Qiu Yundan! You will go together to assist Yan Hao!"
"Yes. ”
"Remember: the purpose of this trip is only to find out where the treasure is hidden. So, until you have to, you must not be discovered, let alone reveal your identity!
"Yes. Zhao Yanhao also replied with them.
Miao Yizhen stared at Shao Feng and the others, and said solemnly: "Your task is only to help Yan Hao get out of danger if he is in danger." Therefore, you don't have to go into the village, just wait outside the village to answer. Got it?"
"Understood. ”
"My lord, my subordinate has a question. Xu Jinshan played with the iron fan, and said: "Since the old thief Dou stole the colorful neon beads from the Nangong family back then, do you think they will ...... And the treasure was transferred afterwards?"
"Jinshan, do you mean to say: if they have been transferred, the old thief Dou will not be able to find them?"
"Exactly. ”
Miao Yizhen looked up at the black roof of the broken temple, and muttered, "What's this...... I don't think so. The only one who knew where the treasure was hidden, was the old thief, and that was the only thing they were worried about. ...... They should be afraid that we have captured the old thief, so they want to move away quickly. ”
Xu Jinshan nodded, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"I'm not entirely sure if that's the case. The reason why I asked Yan Hao to take Old Thief Dou to investigate is precisely to determine this!"
"Oh, my subordinates get it. Xu Jinshan was relieved.
"Now, the eyeliner they sent to follow us has been removed by us, but they will soon find out about this problem!" Miao Yizhen patted Zhao Yanhao, the Zhang brothers, Shao, and Qiu on the shoulders one by one, "The soldiers are very fast......! Geumsan, you hurry up and prepare four fast horses and a carriage!"
Xu Jinshan agreed and walked out quickly.
Miao Yizhen took out a piece of brown paper from his sleeve, solemnly handed it to Shao Feng, patted the back of his hand and said, "This is the map of the Nangong family." Along the way, the places marked with the triangle symbols are the shops they run, and they are all covered with their eyeliners, so you must be careful! I think the best way to pass through these places is to take a detour!
"My subordinates understand!"
"Good. After arriving at Longmen Town, you should abandon the carriages and horses, scatter and walk to Nangong Villa. Only in this way is it not easy to be exposed. Got it?"
"Understood!"
Miao Yizhen nodded with satisfaction, reached into his arms, took out a small black box and handed it to Zhao Yanhao, and said with a smile: "There is a detailed map of Nangong Villa and a night pearl here. With a map, you won't get lost; this pearl of the night, called 'Hanging Li', after taking it out, it will be as bright as day within a radius of two zhang! You put it away carefully, and you can use it for this trip. ”
Zhao Yanhao nodded, and put it in the underwear on his chest.
While speaking, Xu Jinshan had already prepared the carriage and horses.
Zhao Yanhao carried Dou Xingkong into the carriage, sat upright on the seat, shook the horsewhip and prepared to leave, and the rest of the people also got on the horse.
Miao Yizhen personally sent him out of the temple gate, waved his hand, and said: "Be careful all the way!
