Chapter 41 Pull edge section

After all, there are not many who can be as skillful and timely as Zhao Kuangyin and Xue Kang. What's more, although the royal special guards behind them are not weak in martial arts, they have little knowledge of the weird killer moves in the world.And those back-cutting hooks don't seem to pursue which target to attack, as long as they can attack, they will cut muscles and bones without mercy.There were three or four of the special guards who fell down, and five or six who didn't fall down but had blood spattering on their bodies.Whether fallen or not, their wounds were fatal or disabling.These people either could never stand up again, or completely lost the function of certain parts of the body.The worst one was cut open about two inches from the crotch, blood, urine and testicles all rolled down.

When someone fell down, Xue Kang and Zhao Kuangyi, who were hiding behind, were let out.The last few hooks set by Qi Junyuan have taken this situation into consideration, so the transparent rhinoceros tendon uses other objects such as pillars and door knockers to change its direction, so that it can attack targets that are further back than the originally set range. Although the last few hooks were still powerful, they did not cause any damage.Because at this time Xue Kang had already drawn out his Seven Star Centipede Sword, Zhao Kuangyi also held the Xuanhua Yuntou Hatchet in his hand.The sword and ax swung together, blocking the last few hooks.

In such an emergency, everything that happened was like lightning.Therefore, before Xue Kang and Zhao Kuangyin blocked it, it was absolutely impossible to divide the work in detail and determine which hooks to deal with. Both of them subconsciously regarded all the hooks as their own problems to solve. The problem is that the two of them are walking side by side, very close to each other.In this way, in the process of wielding a weapon, the sword and ax will inevitably collide.In some environments, this situation is not a bad thing. For example, among brothers and friends who fight side by side, competing to take the lead can seal the defense more tightly.However, this kind of situation is not acceptable in the current environment, because Xue Kang and Zhao Kuangyi are wary of each other and suspicious of each other, and they regard each other as the most dangerous enemy in their hearts.

There were only a few sporadic sounds when the hooks were blocked, but the clashing sounds of swords and axes continued in a continuous string, like a string of firecrackers put into a copper urn.The collision finally broke apart with a loud noise, and the distance between Xue Kang and Zhao Kuangyi also opened four or five steps.When the figure stopped, the two still faced each other with both offensive and defensive postures. There was a sudden change in the state between the leaders, and the advance guards behind them also responded immediately, each fighting with their weapons, and the eagles, wolves, tigers and leopards became confrontational again.And some of the special guards from the two sides who were too close to each other were already fighting with each other, and were in a state of stalemate.

Just at this time, a small street in front of him was lit with flames, and there were still corpses that were scorched and stinking. Zhao Kuangyi frowned.The whole town is under the control of his own deployment, why there is such a big movement suddenly but no one warns.This shows that someone's claws were destroyed, and the pocket he had clothed was torn.The sudden fire and the burning of corpses, such phenomena that only occur in large killing fields, show that the other party doesn't care whether they will be aware and prepared.There is only one possibility to be so unscrupulous, that is, the opponent far surpasses himself in terms of numbers and strength, and has great confidence in defeating himself.There is also a possibility that the opponent has already set up a backhand pocket, and just waits for him to react naturally according to the situation that arises, and then destroys himself from the inside out.If the second point is true, then Xue Kang's role must be the supporting one.

Before Zhao Kuangyi could think clearly and determine what the real situation he was facing, the sound of a bamboo whistle suddenly sounded in the distance.Although Zhao Kuangyi didn't have much experience in traveling the rivers and lakes, his master of the ax taught him not only one powerful lore move, but also taught him a lot of experience and knowledge in other aspects, including this kind of What's the matter with the bamboo whistle.So judging the sound of the bamboo whistle based on the knowledge imparted by the master of the axe, Zhao Kuangyi felt that it should be the unique whistle of one river, three lakes and eighteen mountains.Could it be that Xue Kang and the people from One River, Three Lakes and Eighteen Mountains have joined forces?Thinking of this, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Xue Kang.

But at this time Xue Kang was flustered.How could people from one river, three lakes and eighteen mountains come here?Could it be that Zhao Kuangyi united them to destroy him?I and Liang Tieqiao had a deep grudge, I was the one who blocked their way of getting money, killed them, and even personally attacked the position of the chief helm, forcing Liang Tieqiao to drop his position as the chief scooper and go to the Nantang government. .So as long as Liang Tieqiao is given a chance, he will definitely kill himself and then hurry up. But how did Zhao Kuangyi join forces with One River, Three Lakes and Eighteen Mountains?By the way, recently there was news from the dark spot of the Great Zhou stationed in Chu, saying that Zhao Kuangyin had been inspected for entering Jiangxinzhou, the chief rudder of one river, three lakes and eighteen mountains, and had reached some kind of cooperative relationship with them.Is this cooperation just to deal with oneself or include dealing with oneself?I am definitely an obstacle in the eyes of the Zhao brothers. If this obstacle is cleared away, then the Great Zhou Imperial Army will be completely in the hands of their father and son.Also, the task of entrusting myself to exterminate one river, three lakes and eighteen mountains, maybe it was a pocket that had been laid long ago?

Seeing Xue Kang's flickering eyes, Zhao Kuangyi immediately thought of many things.It's no wonder that Xue Kang led the two eagle and wolf teams' special guards and couldn't dig out the roots of the One River, Three Lakes and Eighteen Mountains. It must be that they have reached a certain mutual benefit relationship in the process of fighting each other.Therefore, Xue Kang clearly sees that there is a pocket here and dares to venture here. It is not because of his high skill and boldness and precise planning, but because there are strong support from three rivers, three lakes and eighteen mountains on the periphery.He deliberately took risks and went deep, and then pretended to obey the military orders he carried.In fact, all this is done to make the hidden claws in the pockets of his clothes show up, and then the masters from one river, three lakes and eighteen mountains will surprise in.In this way, it seems that he has clothed himself with a reverse bag, the purpose of which is to drive himself away.Then let the three people they think are very important continue to take the next step, and they can continue to stare until they find the key to unlock the treasure.

Xue Kang knew that the Eagle Wolf team he brought was only enough to compete with Zhao Kuangyi's Tiger and Leopard team. Now Zhao Kuangyi not only has more masters from the whole river, three lakes and eighteen mountains, but also has a "thousand-mile foot boat" to transport the arrangements for them Manpower, search and deliver messages.In comparison, his own strength is too weak, although he can try his best to fight, there is absolutely no possibility of winning.So the best solution is to escape quickly, withdraw from the town as quickly as possible, and hide in the mountains.

Zhao Kuangyi has not given up yet, because the whole town was under his control before, and the disciples of "Thousand Miles Boat" did not find any other people except Xue Kang. out?So he decided to go to the place where the fire was burning first to have a look. Xue Kang didn't think about anything, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.So he made a secret gesture and asked his subordinates to bring the injured companion, and then slowly moved towards the bamboo forest outside the three house. However, Zhao Kuangyi didn't take a look at the place where the fire was burning in the end, so he hurriedly ordered all his subordinates to gather at the small pier, and then quickly left the town with the help of the "thousand-mile boat".And when he was doing all this, Xue Kang, who was confronting him, was just gesturing secretly, and hadn't really started to move yet.So Zhao Kuangyi left before Xue Kang.

The reason why Zhao Kuangyi did this, and did it so quickly, was because a person in civilian clothes rushed over when he had just gone to the place where the fire was burning to see these thoughts, and whispered in his ear for two sentence.This person in plain clothes was Dai, the leader of the "Thousand Li Zuzhou" operation. He told Zhao Kuangyi that three tiger and leopard advance guards were killed and thrown into the fire where the fire was ignited.And above the logo of their "thousand-mile boat" appeared a logo in the shape of a knife. The shape of the knife was a bit like the legendary cable-cutting knife of one river, three lakes and eighteen mountains.And hanging such a sign above the pair of signs of the Thousand-Li Zuzhou seems to mean that their "Thousand-Li Zuzhou" will be destroyed.This piece of information just confirmed Zhao Kuangyi's previous inference, so he ordered the withdrawal without hesitation. After retracting all the hooks, Qi Junyuan immediately walked back along the street wall, neither too fast nor too slow.This is the assassin's way of moving. After the assassination, if the movement is too fast, others will directly judge it as the perpetrator, and if it is too slow, it will make others feel suspicious and unreasonable.So the appropriate speed is to control the sudden appearance of other people within one step without colliding with them, so that others can think that you are a tracker who can't find the murderer like him. Qi Junyuan met two lurking claws in the process of walking back in such a leisurely manner, and the two of them also regarded themselves as companions, and they took the initiative to ask him what happened there after a few steps away .And Qi Junyuan's answer only needs three words: "General Xue..." Qi Junyuan only speculated that Xue Kang would be here, he didn't know who Xue Kang was facing, so he could only say "General Xue".But these three words are enough to attract the other party and make the other party more convinced that he is a companion.And the time to say these three words was enough for Qi Junyuan to walk in front of them and reach a distance where the other party could not respond in time. So when those two people saw Qi Junyuan's clothes clearly and realized that he was not their own, their necks had already been cut open by the kun hook: they couldn't make a sound, couldn't breathe, the only thing that could come out was the blood that shot wildly! Although Qi Junyuan successfully carried out the attack at the small intersection, he then smoothly killed all the human claws he encountered on the way back.But he didn't know what results all his designs would bring, whether they could create chaos between Xue Kang and his opponent.I don't know if Qin Shengsheng can find a chance to escape from this town after Wang Yanba's fire broke out.For a master like Xue Kang, this kind of opportunity may only be fleeting.When they see signs of what they've done, they quickly rearrange key pockets. But regardless of whether Xue Kang and the others found out that they were doing something secretly, after such a big commotion in the town, they should have thought that it was impossible for the three of them to sleep peacefully in the inn.So at this time, the inn may instead become a relatively safe temporary shelter. So Qi Junyuan returned to the inn, but what he didn't expect was that Qin Shengsheng was also in the inn.She didn't leave, she was waiting for Qi Junyuan. At this time, Qi Junyuan suddenly realized that for the first time in these days, the noisy Qin Shengsheng became very silent.She just looked at him with a pair of watery bright eyes, without saying a word.Qi Junyuan didn't speak either. Sometimes, for some things, using words is a stupid behavior. But Qi Junyuan's heart was very stuffy, he was worried, worried that everything he did was in vain.His ultimate goal is to let Qin Shengsheng break out first, but now that Qin Shengsheng has not left, they are still in someone else's pocket.
