Chapter 4 Shooting the Sun and Chasing the Moon
"Then should we tell Lord Luo what we have discovered now?" Ah Shui asked.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally focus on Dugu Yuanchen.
The meaning is obvious, since this is what you discovered, then it is up to you to say it or not.
Dugu Yuanchen didn't speak, his right hand patted lightly on the long sword on his waist for a while and said, "Let's not talk about this matter first." Come here, I have something to do with you. ”
"Why, can't you say it in front of everyone. "Lao Liang will never be able to change this big grinning character.
Although he said this, his footsteps took the initiative to lean towards Dugu Yuanchen.
"This matter can only be done by one person, and the person who knows this matter can only be the person who does it, otherwise it is easy to show his feet. ”
Dugu Yuanchen stretched out his left hand and patted Lao Liang's shoulder: "Look at these goods, Ah Shui is a little kid, Lao Wang is a stuffy gourd melon, Zou Fu doesn't need to say it directly, he looks at it like a water tank." You're the only one who is old and cold, and you're barely up to the task. ”
Of course, Dugu Yuanchen paid a painful price for these words, and he was kicked in the ass, especially Zou Fu's water tank kicked the heaviest.
Lao Liang hurriedly hid to the side, pretending to be a good old man and shouting next to him, "What are you doing here, it's just not like words!" Although his voice was loud, he didn't see him come forward and grab a person.
Dugu Yuanchen looked at his left hand, it seems that it is not wrong to rub the blood on the corpse on Lao Liang's body, who let the fuck only say cool words.
Dugu Yuanchen stretched out his left hand, pulled Lao Liang down to his side and explained a few words, and took the opportunity to wipe the blood that had not been wiped clean on Lao Liang's sleeve again without a trace.
From the initial fearlessness of fighting, to the fear after calming down, and then after a day of fermentation, when the people set up camp for the night, people have transformed this emotion into "anger".
It was still early, and the sun was still very far from the broad horizon. But when the team reached the banks of this nameless river, it naturally stopped to camp for the night.
As a pillar of a country who once lived in a temple with 100,000 lives and deaths in his hands, King Luo Kang has his keen sense of smell and unique way of doing things.
In the early years, he marched eastward with the former king, and he once worshiped the former army general, and he experienced a lot of calculations, conspiracies, killings, and sword soldiers, which also indirectly affected him to develop an irritable but forbearant contradictory character.
This was the first time in a long time that King Luo Kang had officially inspected his men who had camped, and whether it was the guardian or the swordsman, he personally stepped forward to say hello.
With him was his only daughter, who also changed her surname to Zhongzhou Luo and named "Guhe".
This is still the inspiration he had when he read "Ask the lotus flower on the bank of the green poplar embankment, remember the family who sold wine in the new year?".
The little girl wore two long braids, and when she ran, she flew in the air like a butterfly.
Occasionally, when I saw a man driving a pile, the little girl would come forward to help her, and she didn't necessarily care about the mud on her hands covered in grass.
She has always liked to stay with these gangsters, and it was very interesting to listen to them tell some strange things in the rivers and lakes, but her father always refused to allow it.
I used to be better when I was in the house, and I could still chat with those nursing uncles. Since leaving the palace, she has been pressed by her father in the carriage all day long with a group of little maids, so that she doesn't know what happened in the morning.
It's not that it's bad to be with the maids, it's just that she yearns for the rivers and lakes outside, she sketched a rough picture for the rivers and lakes in her heart early on, and the little girl looks forward to one day having to break into the rivers and lakes outside.
In fact, where does she know, it is better to be better than the rivers and lakes is the best protection for her father.
However, she quietly got out of the car a few times on the way, but she couldn't say a word to those swordsmen, because in her world, these swordsmen are "people in the rivers and lakes".
She had seen a white horse in the ranks, and it was so beautiful that she liked it. She wanted to touch it, but the horse wouldn't allow it, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, the horse leaned over to the young man who was sleeping next to her with a long sword on her waist, and she tried several times without success, so she gave up.
I don't know if this person is a swordsman, if he is a swordsman, but he does not carry a knife at his waist, but carries a long sword, is it a "swordsman"?
But she grew up in the north and was in the palace, where had she heard of the popular word "swordsman" in the south, but she felt that these two words were both awkward and handsome.
She wanted to ask the young "swordsman" brother for advice on how to get along with this white horse.
The little girl sighed slightly, her eyes full of disappointment.
When I learned to ride a horse last year, my father promised to give him a BMW, but I haven't seen him mention it until now.
The little girl is very sad now, and she is worried about what she should do if she doesn't have a horse when she goes to the rivers and lakes in the future?
King Luokang's most precious thing is this good daughter, which is why she has not been allowed to get off the carriage on the way. After all, it's a person who can't say a lot of things on the journey, if this already lively daughter runs around and something happens, it will cost his own life!
But this time, King Luo Kang personally appeared in front of everyone with his baby daughter, and the meaning was already obvious, "My father and daughter are here, everyone, please"!
The sun has not yet set, and the afterglow of dusk is lazy and warm on the surface of the river, which is paved with blue sky and white clouds.
In the distance, on the hillside, a dozen men in black rode horses and walked slowly, as slow as a heavy black cloud before a storm.
Dugu Yuanchen carefully inspected the surroundings and made sure that there was no man in black who observed the situation like the previous two times.
He wasn't sure about the time he washed his horses by the river, but he saw it with his own eyes in the morning.
The purpose of the first expedition was to determine where and how many people they had set up camp and to gather intelligence for the morning raid.
The second observation of the fighting on both sides was to assess their combat strength, which would explain their sudden retreat.
If it was really the Ximing Iron Army, how could they not know their combat power?
This time, no one is collecting intelligence on the side, which means that the other party has figured out their bottom and intends to catch them all.
King Lokhon drew a spear from under the carriage in which he was riding, and stole it with one hand.
As a soldier of the Ximing Kingdom, he cannot set a precedent of being captured.
Zhuang Bibi took the lead in rushing up with a group of guards, Ximing is very good, he will work for whoever eats on weekdays when he is in danger, and he will never leave his master and run alone.
This is also what the southern countries of Zhongzhou have been unable to understand.
Dugu Yuanchen said a few words to Lao Liang, don't forget what you kid promised me, if you can't bear it, you will withdraw and protect Lord Luo to go first, since you promised to send people safely, you can't break your word.
Lao Liang patted his chest and glanced at Wang Baifeng and the others: "I know, can't my brothers kill the dog thief?"
Dugu Yuanchen took a long knife from a dead swordsman and slowly approached King Luokang.
King Luo Kang had two guards around him to protect him, and when he saw that Dugu Yuanchen did not rush up to meet the enemy, he leaned over to them, and his eyes were full of disdain.
However, Dugu Yuanchen's face is still so thick.
The man in black was extremely familiar with horse warfare, and when the two sides were still forty paces, he angrily exerted his strength, and rushed through the crowd in groups of two on fast horses.
The Guardian and the Knife Keeper turned this grief and anger into combat power very well, perhaps because they were familiar with the fight in the morning, and some of the Knife Keeper and the Guardian were actually on a par with the man in black in a state of grief and indignation.
The men in black are not only good at horse fighting, but also echo and cooperate, and most of these swordsmen and guards rely on their superb knife skills and skills to deal with their opponents.
Sooner or later, it will be washed away.
King Lokang was born in the army, and his prediction of victory and defeat was naturally more accurate than the average person, so his hand holding the iron spear was a little tighter.
Dugu Yuanchen felt that something was wrong, from the appearance of these dozen or so black-clothed people, he felt that something was wrong, as if they were missing something as a terminator.
The two sides became more and more intense, even to the point of exchanging injuries for injuries and lives for lives, so when everyone's attention was focused on the fight between these people, a tall horse with a dark body appeared on the hillside on the left, and immediately there was a woman dressed in white and veiled.
I can't see the face clearly, but judging by the body shape, it should be a woman.
Dugu Yuanchen finally knows what is missing, and he is a person who can really end.
The woman in white took out a large bow with black horns from her back, how could a bow of such a size be pulled apart with her slender jade fingers and weak arms?
This bow is made very specially, and the middle is made of Xuehai's unique "ebony", which is extremely hard and extremely simple, and it is the best wood for making bows.
It is rumored that the workmanship of this kind of wood is also very exquisite, to choose ebony between 550 and 600 years, take four feet above the ground, dry it in the north wind for 60 years without water, and then cut off the surrounding and leave only the thickness of the arm, the length of a short section, this is the best wood for making a bow.
On both sides, the protagonist of the dragonhorn beast that was almost extinct on the southern "Buzhou Island" is used, and it is cold and heat-resistant, and will not affect its elasticity due to weather conditions.
The bowstring is also from the "Buzhou Island", but it is the only retreating tendon of the three-legged deer that has been extinct for many years.
Dugu Yuanchen put on a serious appearance for the first time, because he suddenly remembered that this bow came from Baishui Xingchuan Yan Buwei, and the bow name was "Moon-by-Month".
Shan Yan is not just three words enough to attract anyone's attention.
In this way, he couldn't figure out even more, who was the woman who looked very weak on the other side?
The mention of Baishui Xingchuan Yan does not necessarily make people think of the blacksmith Wei Yangzi, just like seeing the moon-chasing bow reminds people of shooting sun arrows.
The woman didn't care about the battle situation down the slope at all, but slowly took out an arrow as black as the bow in her hand from the quiver and slowly put it on the bowstring.
The sun-shooting arrows designed by Wei Yangzi are different from other styles of arrows.
Instead of using the usual blood-grooved arrow, the arrow body is made of the same thickness as the arrowhead, and a spiral groove is created on the arrow to connect the arrow body, until the arrow is more than an inch away, and there is no arrow feather.
Such an arrow rotates in the air due to the flow of air through the spiral groove, which is not easy to deflect, and the speed and distance are greatly increased compared to ordinary arrows.
This seems to be tailor-made for the month by month.
When the woman pulled her bow, the breeze lifted her white veil, revealing a face as delicate as a snow-capped mountain.
Like peach blossoms, like spring breeze.
The moon-chasing bow, which was many times larger than her body, was still pulled away by her delicate body.
Femininity and strength are completely integrated in her, and when you see a delicate woman harnessing something many times greater than herself, the impact is unprecedented.
If such a jade arm is not good at learning to dance, it has to play with a bow and knife, and such a finger does not want to learn calligraphy and painting, play the piano and play the zither, and has to touch this cold arrow feather.
"Boom......" The bowstring made of the deer's tendons made a dull sound.
Shooting a solar arrow may really be able to shoot the sun, and such a speed can still be taken by surprise even if others are prepared.
Everyone saw her draw her bow with an arrow, but no one saw how the arrow was shot.
It doesn't fly, and just when you feel like it's going to shoot, he's already in front of you.
Even if King Luo Kang had been on the battlefield for a long time, he still couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
The guard, who had stood to his left at first, stood in front of King Lokang when he saw the woman take out the large black bow.
He drew his knife when he saw her let go of the bowstring, but before he could slash it, a pitch-black arrow pierced through his brow, and then through the back of his head and pointed straight at the door of King Lokang.
And the guard only reacted after doing this chopping action, and then died.
No one expected this arrow to be so fast, and no one could have expected a seemingly weak woman to shoot it.
The guard on the right was rushing towards King Lokon, but he was too slow, even if he doubled the speed of the arrow.
King Lokang has experienced a lot of life and death.
But this time, he thought maybe he would really die.
So he didn't even bother to hide, and he didn't even bother to wave the iron gun in his hand.
In the first half of his life, he expanded his territory on the frontline battlefield of the Ximing Kingdom, and in the second half of his life, he planned for the Ximing Kingdom in the court, was he afraid of death?
I'm not afraid, but I feel a little unwilling.
He had heard the sound of the long knife unsheathed ...... countless times, but never had it been so piercing as it was today.
The inconspicuous young man who had been standing next to him pulled out his long knife at this time.
The frantic friction between the knife and the scabbard sparked a flash of fire.
Then a snowy sword light extinguished the fire, and King Luo Kang felt a burst of cold air that could be exuded by an ordinary long knife.
But in fact it was an ordinary long knife, but in the hands of the person holding it, it glowed with a light that it did not have.
The knife was so bright and glaring that no one could see how the young man wielded it.
The arrows and knives were so fast that the rest of the people couldn't do anything about it, and they didn't even get the right to watch.
Ding's life, the arrow is also short.
The guard, who had just fallen to the ground, got up and swallowed at the sight.
He and the dead bodyguard were both lieutenants of King Lokang when he was in the army, and most of the soldiers were quite direct.
So now his eyes on Dugu Yuanchen have changed from disdain to admiration.
The guard, Hu Qianjun, looked at King Luokang.
King Lokang nodded, and the guard grabbed a fast horse and galloped away in the direction of the bowed woman.
King Luo Kang took out a bamboo tube from his bosom, pulled the thin line at the bottom with his head up, and a fiery red rice flower exploded in the sky.
Suddenly, more than a dozen people appeared in the creek and gathered around the woman on the mountain bag.
King Luo Kang looked at the hillside in the distance, "I really thought I would bring a dozen or so maids." ”
But they are indeed maids, but before they become maids, they are dead soldiers and killers.
Dugu Yuanchen smiled, how could a prince who had not been knocked down in the court for more than ten years not have a backhand.
He's just been waiting for the most important person to appear, and he's always done that way to capture the thief and capture the king first.
The woman on the white horse did not run away, perhaps she wanted another arrow.
King Lokang did not hide in the carriage because there was his precious daughter in the carriage.
He simply walked over to the dead guard and crouched down, closing his wide eyes with his hand.
Dugu Yuanchen also followed and stood beside him.
"Have we met, boy?"
Dugu Yuanchen threw away the broken knife in his hand and smiled: "No." ”
The prince sighed, and continued to bow his head to wipe the blood from his dead guard's face.
It seems that he has never met, and a person who can wield such a knife, as long as he has seen it, he will not forget it, not to mention that he is so calm after swinging this knife.
It's not an exaggeration to have such strength, but he doesn't think so, it's as ordinary as cutting an apple and pear.
If it weren't for the fact that the lost knife could prove it, you wouldn't have seen it from this man.
He's waiting for a result, and it's a human head.
Although he knew that even if he killed the woman, they would still be hunted down, and even if he only dealt with the dozen or so men in black, it would be extremely difficult for them.
But he was not afraid, because in six days he would be able to return to the tribe's base camp, and if he sent someone to call for help, he would have less time to meet the tribe's warriors.
