Chapter 423: escape

Views:

The loud bang of Thunderbolt could be heard clearly even outside the city, Ying Jiu’s heart sank suddenly, that Thunderbolt was a new type of sample brought by Guan Xiao, there were only two of them in total, Yan Qi and Sum brought them, just to die together in the end When it is used, twice, it means that Qi Ye and Sum have already...

Ling Qingyu also followed the loud noise and looked in the direction of the city gate. The flames over there were like torches, there was a lot of shouting and killing, and there were vague figures on the city wall.

Yingjiu pulled Ling Qingyu to swim downstream along the Bian River, landed at a place where no one seemed to be there, bent down and touched a mound of earth from the grass half a person's height, took out a bag from it, and then Pushing Ling Qingyu into the hole in the mound, he whispered: "Master, you changed your clothes, and I'll get a horse."

Inside the baggage was a set of dark peasant women's clothes and a pack of jerky. It seemed that they had prepared it here a long time ago. In order to escape, Yan Qi and the others did not know how many roads they had prepared in the city.

Hastily put the peasant woman's clothes on outside, and recombed her hair into the simplest and most convenient peasant woman's hairstyle. She didn't want to think about what the two thunderbolts meant, and she didn't want to think about how many people were besieging her. , How many people could escape, but they just hugged the double swords in their arms and waited quietly for Ying Jiu to come back.

It was already night, and the evening wind was blowing with a coolness, the moonlight was not visible, and the starlight was also dim, but it made the fire beside the city gate more intense.

The place where they went ashore was far away from the east gate, and further ahead was the outer pier. Ying Jiu hid in the grass, and saw that the pier was brightly lit, horses neighed and people were noisy, and a large number of people on the official road were dressed in Imperial Guard armor. The soldiers flocked to Bianjing like a tide, and then looked at the farmyard with horses behind the officer and soldier, frowning unknowingly.

The pre-prepared horses may not be available, and it is impossible to stay here any longer. Judging by the momentum of the imperial guards, I am afraid that people from the military camps in the suburbs of Beijing are mobilizing. One hundred thousand people, if they fight, this area will be a battlefield, and they must leave.

Glancing in the direction of Bianjing City, Ying Jiu quietly approached the edge of the team.

"Second, what are you doing?"

"Urgent urination, you go first."

"Getting the first achievement is a direct promotion to the third level. The Hujie Battalion has already gone up. If you keep dragging, we won't even be able to touch it."

"What's the rush? I didn't hear that the Fourth Battalion of Konghe Cavalry has also started to move. Who knows if it's our group or the Dong family's? Besides, the Dragon and Tiger Camp is not vegetarian, let them fight first! Damn, what? The timing is not good, so the soldiers will be dispatched when it is time to eat!"

A school lieutenant riding a horse rode his horse into the grass on the side, and got off the horse cursingly. Just as he opened his pants, he felt a chill on his neck. I lost my breath.

After stripping off the captain's armor, Ying Shisan led the horse and quietly retreated into the grass, and after retreating to a place where the soldiers could not see, he accelerated a little and headed towards the mound.

A large number of soldiers rushed over from several official roads, and from the mound, one could see the dots of fire all over the fields outside the city, densely packed, as if the sides could not be seen.

Is this the movement of the Eight Battalions in the suburbs of Beijing? I just don't know who is helping whom? For the sake of the throne, his family members were killed. If all these manpower were thrown at the border, Ling Qingyu laughed at himself. Those people sitting in the imperial city, who would think so much? Just sit in that seat. If you get everything, you don't care how many people die, but these people outside want prosperity and wealth, and they don't hesitate to die.

Just as she was thinking wildly, she heard a slight sound in front of her. Ling Qingyu grasped the dagger tightly in her arms, and there seemed to be a warm current flowing through the sword from the place where she shook hands, which made her feel at ease.

"Master?" Ying Shisan's voice came over in a low voice, Ling Qingyu hurriedly responded in a low voice, and got out of the mound, seeing Ying Shisan was putting on a suit of armor, and a black horse stood beside him.

After putting on the armor, Ying Shisan whispered: "Master, I'm afraid that the Eighth Battalion in the suburbs of Beijing is dispatched, and the Hujie Battalion and Longjie Battalion here should belong to the second prince. Let's go in the direction they came from. Let's see if we can get past it, and it will be easy when we get to Zhuangzi."

Ling Qingyu nodded, Ying Shisan got on the horse, then pulled her onto the horse and sat in front of him, then wrapped her tightly with a cloak, and said in a low voice: "It will be uncomfortable if you can't show your head, just bear with it. "

Ying Thirteen rode his horse and headed southwest. Some of Wang Zuo's men were waiting in Zhuangzi, and the 12th Battalion of Imperial Guards were mobilized. The Yellow River would definitely be difficult to cross. People from Hulao Pass and Luoyang must be guarding Gaoliu at Tianjing Pass. , can only go south, meet Wang Zuo's people first, then go to Xiangyang to find Ying Shisan, then go south, board the boat, no one can hurt her anymore.

But first, we must first pass through the Janissaries!

On May 29th, the people in Bianjing City were first shocked by Cheng Jia's torture, followed by the protests of Tai students and students, including some people. one night.

The dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival in the Bianhe River were ignited and the flames lit up the entire east and west gates. The imperial guards who rushed over from the field outside the city of Bianjing fought directly outside the city. Amidst the splashing of flesh and blood, the blades The cold light shone in the faint moonlight, and the red-eyed person, no matter whether the other party was still drinking together yesterday or not, the blade pointed, there was only the above sentence, if you win, you will be promoted to three ranks, and you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver.

The people of Longjieying pushed forward along the official road to Bianjing, watching the prosperous city outline glow red like fire for a long time, their eyes were not aware of excitement, it seemed that the front was not a place of death, but a place of death. It's the prosperity and wealth in the future, and the pace will be quickened.

A school lieutenant who rode his horse and escorted the team saw a horse galloping from the city gate to Zhuxian Town in the wilderness, and asked loudly, "Which battalion is it? What are you running for?"

"The second prince has a message to report to the general!" The man on the horse said as he leaned over and galloped past.

The lieutenant snorted, and glanced at the mark on the away armor, but was taken aback for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Huang Jiasheng, stop!"

The man on the horse didn't stop but sped up the speed. The captain laughed grimly and shouted: "Follow me! I knew this kid was wrong, I'm afraid he is the eldest prince's spy!"

"Zhang Ting, what are you doing!" Commander Long Jie, who was riding here with Shi Xiao, said angrily when he saw the captain leading a group of people to Zhuxian Town.

"General! Just now Huang Jiasheng said that the second prince has a message for you. I suspect that he is a spy of the first prince!" Zhang Ting paused and said loudly.

Commander Long Jie glanced at Shi Xiao, seeing his eyes turning cold, his heart shuddered, and he said to the guards behind him, "You guys, go with Zhang Ting!" Seeing the guards behind him chasing after Zhang Ting, Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Before today, he had benefited from both sides. However, when the second prince ordered to come, he also sent a master to accompany him. If he dared to speak back, he would be killed on the spot. , naturally can not drop any words.

Glancing at the pursuers who were chasing after him, Ying Jiu bit her lower lip. She didn't expect that she was spotted when she was about to run out of their range. She turned her horse's head and ran towards the continuous mountainous area in front of her left.

"Captain Zhang, I'm afraid that's not Captain Huang!" said a soldier beside Zhang Ting.

"It doesn't look like it! Never mind him, the general has an order, kill him!" Zhang Ting sped up the speed as he spoke. He and Huang Jiasheng have always been at odds, and this time Huang Jiasheng got the forward position, which made him even more jealous, so when he saw Huang Jiasheng's armor just now, he became happy. No matter what the reason, it was a serious crime for him to run backwards at this time , but now after chasing and running, I realized that the man on the horse was much taller than Huang Jiasheng, and wearing the same armor, he looked much better than Huang Jiasheng's fat man, so... Could it be that I was really fooled? Just a spy

Zhang Ting opened his mouth with a smile unconsciously. This man was wearing Huang Jiasheng's armor. Otherwise, Huang Jiasheng was killed by him. Even if he didn't die, it would be a capital crime. Weidu sent out, I'm afraid this person is not simple, this is much better than going to the city gate desperately.

Immediately brought the two of them, their speed was not as fast as theirs, and they were still some distance away from the mountain, but the pursuers were getting closer and closer, Ying Jiu drew out his long sword, and heard the sound of the bow in the wind, Ying Jiu Pulling his long arms together, he shielded Ling Qingyu's whole body in front of him, and then slashed the long sword on the horse's buttocks, and the horse galloped in pain.

The long arrow cut out streaks of light in the sparse starlight and moonlight, whistled loudly, and headed straight for the person in front.

Yingjiu's long sword danced behind him into a ball of brilliance, blocking the rain of arrows, and the speed of the black horse galloping in pain caused the distance between the two sides to be further separated, and there were mountains in front of him.

Zhang Ting groaned in his heart. There are always two hundred people on his side, but they are all blocked? Who is this person

"It's useless!" A fast horse ran by, and immediately the knight had already drawn his bow, with three arrows between his fingers.

The general's personal guard, he didn't dare to speak back, he just drew his bow fiercely again.

Three arrows hit the horse's legs like shooting stars, and the black horse staggered and fell forward with its front legs folded.

Ying Jiu put an arm around Ling Qingyu's waist, jumped up when the black horse fell to the ground, and then raised her breath and swept forward, followed by sharp arrows raining down on the ground.

In an instant, he had countless thoughts. If he turned around, he didn't know whether he would be able to guard against it all, but he would definitely be caught up. Ying Jiu gritted his teeth, pressed Ling Qingyu's head in his arms, and swept forward with all his strength.

Watching the man fall into the forest, Zhang Ting stopped his horse, and smiled at the captain of the guard: "I can't live like that, so I'll leave first, and I won't get any credit for being late. "As he said, he called his men to ride their horses towards Bianjing.

The rest of the personal guards looked at their captain, who hesitated for a moment, and said, "If you die, you must see the corpse, so you can't leave any trouble."

"Nine?"

Hugging her lightly, Ying Jiu jumped down from the big tree, stuffed a pill into his mouth, waved his long sword behind his back, and hid behind the tree, counting the sound of horseshoes, calming his breathing, closing his eyes slightly He lowered his eyes, at this time the clouds in the sky cleared, the moonlight was bright, and colorful spots fell from the gaps in the trees. Yingjiu's eyes seemed to flash the bright lights in the night scene of Bianjing overlooking Bianjing from the Baohua Tower.

There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and Ying Jiu sprang out from behind the tree shortly, and his wind-like figure swept across dozens of horses. Blood sprayed up from the long sword, and the horses neighed, and fell on the ground. The guards on the ground saw the icy sword light flashing in front of them, and amidst the screams, the guards behind came back to their senses, and the captain of the guards roared angrily, drew out his waist knife and went up to him.

"It turned out to be you." With a cold snort, a figure passed by the captain of the bodyguard, flicking five fingers in his hand, the strong finger force made Ying Jiu, who had just taken a life, take advantage of the momentum to back away. It took a few steps before the strength was relieved.

The captain of the personal guards wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth after seeing that he had matched the move with Shi Xiao, and looked at the man with a cold look in Shi Xiao's eyes, waved to the remaining guards around him, and then rushed together up. Shi Xiao came over to make it clear that he didn't trust them, now is not the time to be afraid.

Shi Xiao took a few steps back with a sneer, letting the guards rush forward, and slowly took out the dagger from his pocket and held it between his fingers. Unexpectedly, this person did not die. Although he still has a good impression of this person in his heart, under the current circumstances, the Shi family can only fully support the Second Prince's ascension.

The clouds opened and the moon rose, the stars were shining brightly, and the mountains and forests were shrouded in a veil-like illusory brilliance, and the splashed blood became the most beautiful color.

A line of blood droplets sprinkled on the quietly blooming flowers, and then there was a dull sound of falling to the ground, and the delicate flowers were smashed into flower mud.

It seemed that in just an instant, there were several fewer people around him. The captain's breathing became heavy, and the hand holding the knife trembled a little. This person is a master, and he will not lose to the Shi family's master behind him. Who is it? home's? Could it be that he really belonged to the eldest prince

Ying Jiu pulled the rope buckle on the armor with his hand, took off the tattered armor and threw it on the ground. The incense was dyed bright red.

The black part exposed after the armor faded had already been torn many times, and the broken skirt was flying in the air, leaving an afterimage. When the armor fell to the ground, Ying Jiu's figure had already moved, and his short body dodged past the captain's wave. The long sword on Dao's right hand had already pierced his body, then his left hand twisted his wrist and snatched the waist knife from his hand, turned around and drew the waist knife in his hand and threw it at another guard, the long sword shook The body backed away, ding ding ding three times, and knocked down the three small knives. When the fourth knife was nailed into the body, he dodged behind a personal guard and dodged the fifth small knife, then turned like the wind, and the long sword With a ray of brilliance, under the splash of blood, the remaining guards fell to the ground one after another.

Shi Xiao played with a throwing knife with his fingers, watched the man desperately trying to kill him even if he was injured, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You still have one person with you, where is that person?"

The corpses fell on the ground in the sparse forest, dyeing the grass bright red, Ying Jiu panted slightly, looked at the man in white who was idly standing under the moonlight, and said with a sneer: "The Shi family can only be running dogs now. Well?"

"Hehe, the victor is king, natural selection, our Shi family will naturally follow after the strong, I'm not as kind as Shi Ke," Shi Xiao took two steps forward, and said with a slight smile: "You Do you still want to fight me if you are so seriously injured? If you hand over that person, I will let you live, how about it?"

Ying Jiu just shook his long sword, his expression was cold, a gust of wind blew through the forest, whining, bringing a hint of coolness.

"If that's the case, then you can't blame me. When you die, I can still find that person." Before Shi Xiao finished speaking, he flicked his five fingers, and the five-handed throwing knife flew away. At the same time, he rubbed his body close to his five fingers Claws clawed at his chest.

Yingjiu kicked up a corpse on the ground to face the flying knife, and then took a few steps back quickly. The long sword in his hand rushed towards the flying knife coming from both sides of the corpse. Shi Xiao's smiling face was already close at hand.

Seeing that there is a big tree behind his retreating body, Shi Xiao's smile grew even bigger, and with a flick of his finger on the sword he stabbed at, he grasped his right wrist with all five fingers and only heard a crunch. , that wrist had already been twisted off by him, Shi Xiao's forward momentum continued unabated, a short sword slid out of his left wrist, aimed at his abdomen, and stabbed in, pushing him against the big tree behind him, low She smiled lightly and said, "When you stabbed yourself back then, I was afraid, uh..."

A cry of pain cut off Shi Xiao's laughter, he glanced at the broken arrow piercing his heart from his ribs, and stabbed the short sword from bottom to top, Shi Xiao spurted blood from his mouth, and said with a grinning smile : "Yes! It's a pity that it's a little short, and it's still a little bit worse."

There was a gentle smile on the face of the man in front of him. Shi Xiao was taken aback for a moment, but he hugged him tightly with his right arm. After breaking free, only the sound of bones breaking could be heard continuously, and the smile on the corner of the man's mouth deepened, but his arms did not loosen at all.

There was a light poof, the vest felt cool for a while, and the needle-like pain spread rapidly. Seeing the face behind her reflected in the man's pupils, Shi Xiao slowly slipped down from her body, it turned out to be her...

Pushing away Shi Xiao's body, Ling Qingyu hugged Ying Jiu, took out medicine from the medicine bag with trembling hands, and stuffed it into his mouth desperately.

Ying Jiu grabbed her hand with his left hand, took one and put it in his mouth, and said with a comforting smile, "It's all right..."

Looking at the dagger stuck in his abdomen, and then at his right hand hanging to the side, Ling Qingyu gritted his teeth, held back tears with red eye circles, and nodded.

Ying Jiu leaned against the tree and took the bundle from Ling Qingyu, took out the bandage from the bundle with one hand, pushed Ling Qingyu and said, "We have to go quickly... to get the horse..."

Ling Qingyu looked at him, Ying Jiu smiled softly, and pushed her again.

Ling Qingyu turned around, and saw that there was a horse struggling in the forest, so he hurried over, took the rein and brought the horse over, passed by Shi Xiao's body, and pulled out the dagger stuck into his vest He came out, wiped his body and inserted the scabbard back.

Pulling out the short sword, when the blood was rushing, Ying Jiu groaned, and suppressed all the voices, looked at Ling Qingyu's back, and tapped several acupuncture points on his body, and then held a bandage in his mouth, and put the bandage in his left hand. Wrapped around the abdomen a few times, pulled hard, stood up straight, waited for Ling Qingyu to lead the horse over, first used her strength to get her on the horse, then took a strong breath, turned over and jumped onto the horse's back.
