Chapter 14: Making a Promise
The enemy spotted them quickly, shouting and carrying torches.
Lai Kezhong put Xie Tong next to a big tree, took out a steel knife, fought with the enemy in one place, and cut down two enemies in an instant. More enemies came from the four breads, and Rao was Lai Kezhong's amazing bravery, but he still couldn't match these many enemies.
The steel knife slowed down.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xie Tong hurriedly brandished the Mufeng Sword and joined the battlefield.
The enemy army has gathered more and more, and they have surrounded them, forming a situation of trapped beast fighting.
It's gone.
The Immortal Weng also slowly approached the encirclement, and said in a loud voice, "There is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door in hell for you to break into, is there anything else to say?"
Lai Kezhong seemed to be extremely relaxed and said, "Brother, are you afraid of death?"
Xie Tong shook his head and said, "Little brother has gone through a lot of hardships and dangers, which time is not an escape from death, what is there to be afraid of!"
Lai Kezhong said, "That's good! Today, our brother will also pull a few cushions!" With that, he suddenly took out a black ball from his backpack.
Xie Tong fixed his eyes and saw that it was the black oil fire thunder, which was the gunpowder he brought from the big ship in Wuxi.
Lai Kezhong lit the fire and said, "If you are not afraid of death, get out of the way, Lao Tzu has eyes, this black oil fire thunder does not have eyes!"
His words immediately frightened all the enemy troops, black oil fire thunder is a high explosive, all the sergeants have seen it, this time the fire of the grain depot, the explosion of the city lord's mansion used this kind of gunpowder.
The enemy slowly dispersed, apparently terrified of the gunpowder.
Xie Tong asked secretly, "Big brother, how many did you bring in total!"
Lai Kezhong stretched out three fingers and scratched his back.
Xie Tong suddenly understood. He also picked up a black oil fire thunder and said, "Immortal." Do you have the courage to give it a try?"
The Immortal's face turned dead gray, he had no idea that things would turn like this. He knew the power of this black oil fire thunder, but if he let Xie Tong go like this, all the plans he had worked so hard to manage would be in vain, but it was really a bamboo basket to draw water.
If this matter spreads, he will be in the rivers and lakes without face, and the Hangzhou army of 8,000 people was actually cleaned up by a small Tang army of several hundred people, and in the case of fighting alone, he couldn't even clean up Xie Tong. This is a great shame for him.
Xie Tong saw that the immortal immortal Weng did not react, and hurriedly leaned the fire fold towards the lead, the enemy army shouted, and immediately scattered, Xie Tong laughed, and said, "What else does the immortal want to say!"
The immortal seemed to be dozens of years old, and under the light of the torches, he was already very haggard, and his confidence was completely crushed. "Okay, blue is better than blue, with your Xie Tong, our accounts will be counted in the future." Let's go!"
He finally defeated the invincible immortal Weng, not only in terms of martial arts, but also in terms of wisdom and determination.
The enemy gradually retreated. Leaving only the two of them standing on the spot, Lai Kezhong said excitedly, "It turns out that people are afraid of death!"
Xie Tong shook his head and said, "This place is not suitable for a long time. Let's go!"
The two dragged their tired bodies and slowly left the West Lake. Straight north.
Xie Tong asked, "Huo boy, what about them!"
Lai Kezhong said: "After Huo boys rescued me. He went south with his brothers, and Lao Duan was in charge of the queen of the palace! Now they should all be on the way to Shaoxing."
Xie Tong muttered, "I hope they have a safe journey!"
The two of them headed north, crossed the North Mountain, and stopped in a bush.
Xie Tong was seriously injured and had to stop his exercise to heal. At this moment, the sky was already bright, and Xie Tong sat down to breathe.
Lai Kezhong went to get some food.
Xie Tong's true qi circulated for seventy, seventy, forty, and nine weeks before it stopped. After this adjustment, he felt that the meridians in his body were much smoother, but there was still a faint pain in his chest and back, he opened his shirt and took a look, there was a bruise the size of a fast fist on his chest, the punch of the immortal was indeed extremely fierce, thinking of the bloody battle last night, he still had palpitations.
Lai Kezhong had already set up a fire, and two hares were roasting on it, which seemed to be almost roasted, and the aroma of meat had already wafted out.
Xie Tong smelled the aroma of meat, and suddenly felt extremely hungry in his stomach, and said with a smile, "Big brother, this roast rabbit is also a unique skill!"
Lai Kezhong said with a smile: "In this wilderness, it's good to have food, and I'm still thinking about drinking, so I don't need to find a few girls for you!"
Xie Tong scolded with a smile, "Where is the less, squeeze me, Lao Tzu just said it casually!"
The two ate rabbit meat and hit the road again. The mood of returning north this time is very different from when I went south, there is no pressure of any mission, as long as I ensure that I go back safely.
In order to return to the front line as soon as possible, Xie Tong chose a very close road, going north to Huzhou, bypassing Taihu Lake, Changzhou and Zhenjiang are heading to Yangzhou, this route is much closer than when they came, but it is also full of crises, it is okay in the south of Changzhou, and it is the front line in the area of Zhenjiang, which is relatively strict.
After more than ten days of travel, the two soon arrived at Yixing, an important city on the coast of Taihu Lake.
Xie Tong's injuries recovered very quickly, and after more than ten days of recuperation, he has healed.
After arriving in Yixing, Xie Tong proposed to go into the city for a turn, this time going south, they were always in a high state of tension, did not enjoy the scenery too much, and even did not taste the food in the south of the Yangtze River, which is really a pity.
Lai Kezhong could not resist him, and followed him into the city.
Yixing is located on the shore of Taihu Lake, not only the scenery is pleasant, but the food is also famous in the south of the Yangtze River. Xie Tong directly found a decent restaurant, ordered four special snacks, and drank as if no one was around.
Xie Tong drank three glasses of wine, and became excited, and said, "I don't know how the war in Jiangbei is!"
In fact, the two went all the way north, and there were a lot of rumors from hearsay, some rumors of the defeat of the Tang army, and some rumors of Yangzhou defense, which made him unable to believe which news was true.
was eating, a person suddenly walked in outside the door, and sat straight at Xie Tong's table, Xie Tong was already slightly drunk, he looked at it, and was immediately shocked.
The person who came was actually Shi Jingjiao, who was known as the wolf.
Xie Tong hurriedly put his hand on the Mufeng Sword beside him.
Shi Jingjiao smiled and said, "The world-famous Xie Gongzi, the great hero who burned Wuxi and Hangzhou, why is he so panicked!"
Xie Tong secretly shouted carelessly, his journey back to the north was too smooth, so that he forgot this terrible person who was wise and brave, and now Jiangnan is still in the hands of Huang Chao, the two of them have no hidden traces, and it is strange not to be discovered by Shi Jingjiao, although he does not know the purpose of his appearance here, but he must have other intentions, it seems that there will be a fierce battle today, he said coldly, "Xie Tong and Shi Gongzi seem to be friends and enemies, of course you have to be vigilant, not to mention that Gongzi's methods are endless, and it is natural for Xie to panic." ”
When Lai Kezhong heard Shi Jingjiao's order, his eyes revealed a little murderous intent.
Shi Jingjiao said, "Who is this?"
Xie Tong said helplessly, "This is Xie's brother, Lai Kezhong!"
Shi Jingjiao said solemnly, "It turned out to be Yanjing Lai Kezhong, disrespectful and disrespectful, Brother Lai's name spread all over Mobei, no one knows, no wonder the arrows shot can force the immortal to cry bitter."
Lai Kezhong snorted coldly and answered him.
Shi Jingjiao continued: "Brother Xie, aren't you going to invite Shi for a drink?"
Xie Tong hurriedly poured a glass of wine for Shi Jingjiao.
Shi Jingjiao picked up his wine glass and said, "It's really my honor to be able to meet two such heroes, and the younger brother respects the two of you with a glass!"
Xie Tong and the others drank the wine in the cup, and Xie Tong said expressionlessly, "Brother Shi has been chasing us tirelessly, not to drink a bar!
Shi Jingjiao laughed and said, "Brother Xie is really fast-talking, Shi has always admired heroes, and this time he really drank and chatted!"
Lai Kezhong's eyes widened, and he suddenly said, "Please forgive us two brothers for not having time, they are out of company!" After that, he pulled up Xie Tong and left.
Shi Jingjiao suddenly laughed wildly, and said, "People say that Lai Kezhong is a straight person, and now when I see it, sure enough, since Shi dares to come alone to see the two, he must be prepared, and now Yixing Chengdu is in his own hands, and you can't fly out with your wings", after that, he clapped his hands, and a large force appeared outside the restaurant, surrounding the restaurant.
Lai Kezhong didn't have the slightest sense of fear, he sneered, "I want to scare Lai someone, is Brother Shi looking down on me too much."
Xie Tong was convinced of Shi Jingjiao's words, this person's martial arts and wisdom were all first-class, since he was fully prepared to ambush the two, he must be confident.
Shi Jingjiao smiled and said, "It's not that I look down on Brother Lai, but that's the case."
Lai Kezhong was furious, and his whole body burst out with a terrifying murderous aura, and said, "Even if I die here, I want Shi Jingjiao to bury you with you!"
Shi Jingjiao said neatly: "I admire Brother Lai's pride in not being afraid of life and death, but I am not an immortal, and I am also a person who is not afraid of death! Brother Lai wants to fight for his life, I am afraid it will not work for me!".
Xie Tong listened quietly to the conversation between the two, and he faintly felt that Shi Jingjin was not here to kill him this time, because he didn't feel that Shi Jingjin had any murderous intentions, not even a trace of murderous aura did not exist, if he wanted to murder his two brothers, he only needed to send a large army to encircle and suppress him, why should he be so mother-in-law. He hurriedly said, "Brother Shi, what's the matter, please tell me clearly!"
Shi Jingjiao was stunned for a moment, he didn't know where he had exposed his flaws, so that Xie Tong saw through it, and he was immediately full of doubts and admiration for Xie Tong, and he said suspiciously, "I don't know where Shi showed his stuffing?
Seeing that what he expected, Xie Tong smiled and said, "This is purely a guess!"
Shi Jingjiao saw that Xie Tong was reluctant to say, and he was embarrassed to ask, and said, "Shi's idea is very simple, it can't be called excessive," he looked at Xie Tong, and continued, "Shi heard that the Qinggang Sword fell into the hands of Brother Xie, the Qinggang Sword is the first divine weapon in the world, extremely sharp, I hope that the next time we meet, Brother Xie can play with the Qinggang Sword, of course, when the time comes, it must be returned to its original owner, how!"
