Chapter 54 Chapter 54: Escape from Yueyang

Baichun rode his horse out from the side of the stable near the outer courtyard wall, turned right and galloped along the wall, towards the direction of the west gate.Qiu Jiushi sat behind her and shared a ride with her.At this time, his Fengshen stick was put in his backpack, the bow was in his left hand, and the quiver full of arrows was hanging on his back. During the violent thunderstorm, the peaceful and beautiful garden turned into a world full of violence.In the deafening thunder and torrential rain, there is no difference between the sky and the earth, and the meaning of far and near has lost its former meaning. The short distance of the road gives people a strange feeling that they will never run to the end.The trees leaned eastward and westward, the leaves trembled and rustled, and after a flash of lightning, the boundless darkness engulfed everything again.

The two of them were drenched and cold to the bone, but their hearts were burning.No matter how strong the enemy is, they all have the confidence to escape Hongye Tower and Yueyang City. At this moment, their hearts have been united and they have nothing to do with each other. Wu Zixu and Wu Shuangnv rushed to the end of the promenade and looked towards the square. Except for the cars and horses parked in the east and west sides, there was only heavy rain, thunder and lightning, and no one was there. The outer courtyard door has been closed. Wu Zixu leaned into Wushuangnv's ear and said, "This is the enemy's most important line of defense. No matter how flustered it is, it's impossible for Jneti to spare a hand. Where is your horse?"

Wu Shuang said: "I chose this way because my Hei'er is placed in the carriage and horse room on the left, so it should be no problem to get the horse." Wu Zixu made a decisive decision and said, "Go get the horse, and I'll open the gate of the courtyard." Wushuang grabbed his arm and said with concern: "Be careful of the opponent's archer." Wu Zixu's heart was almost melted by her kind actions, and he was excited, and said happily: "There is no door that I, Wudun Pirates, cannot open." Before the words were finished, the lightning flashed, and the reflection of metal objects was faintly visible at the closed outer courtyard door.

The two looked at each other. Wushuang girl was startled and said: "The outer door is deadlocked." Wu Zixu took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "This is the goddess' test for me. I'll correct my words a little. I can't open it without a lock." "Boom—" A bolt of lightning struck straight down, and exploded into tree-root-shaped awns at the low altitude above the square, and the two of them lost their ability to see for a moment. Wu Zixu seized the opportunity, rushed out of the wind and rain outside the corridor, and ran towards the outer courtyard door at full speed.

Wushuangnv also acted immediately, rushing towards the carriages and horses. "Boom—boom—" The thunder and lightning became more and more intense, and they sounded one after another. God became like a naughty boy, throwing super powerful firecrackers. above. Wu Zixu ran towards the outer courtyard door recklessly, an indescribable feeling occupied his mind, such a scene seemed to have happened not long ago, not just in a dream, but in reality.His heart was filled with some inexplicable strong emotion, which made him forget everything, and only knew to run towards a certain destination, leaving him alone in the world.

Suddenly he had arrived at the gate of the outer courtyard. A thick iron chain passed through the door knockers on both sides and was fastened with an iron lock. If someone else could only sigh at the opposite door, there was nothing he could do. Although there are only a dozen steel branches of different thicknesses and shapes, he can open any stubborn lock with his unparalleled lockpicking skills. "Pala—" A huge bolt of lightning struck straight down from the sky, and the entire square seemed to be filled with electric flames. The thunder and lightning intensified, and the wind and rain became more urgent, but his mind was like a stable boat on the wave peak. With his left hand, he firmly picked up the iron lock weighing ten catties, and inserted the steel branches into the keyhole one by one, trying to test it without distraction. .

At this moment, he entrusted his fate in the hands of Goddess Yunmeng. "Crack—" The lock should be unlocked by hand. Wu Zixu didn't dare to hesitate, he tore off the big iron chain, turned around to look, his whole body became cold and his scalp went numb from fright.On the stone steps of the main building and under the eaves of the auxiliary building, densely packed with enemies, it seemed that they were startled by the sharp friction sound of his pulling the iron chain at this moment, and everyone bent their bows and set up arrows, shooting at him.Even with his skill, there is absolutely no way to avoid the simultaneous shooting of nearly a hundred archers.

Wu Zixu yelled "My life is over", and instinctively backed away, slamming heavily on the door of the outer courtyard. With a "bang", the outer courtyard door opened outwards, Wuzi fell on his back, and the arrow flew past above. Everything becomes unreal.Wushuangnv and her black horse rushed to the door, leaned over to reach out, and shouted: "Come up!" Wu Zixu regained his sanity, stretched out his hand to hold Wushuangnv's jade hand tightly, bounced off the ground with the strength of his waist, and then flew onto the horse's back with her pull. The two rode together and turned into the thoroughfare leading directly to the south gate, and the second round of arrows shot all in the empty space.

Qiu Jiushi and Baichun turned onto the street leading to the south gate almost at the same time as Wu Zixu and Wushuangnv, but they were more than two thousand steps behind. Seeing the two successfully escaped from the Hongye Building, the feeling of relief was beyond words. It can be described, and at the same time, it is mixed with gratitude to the two. Without their wonderful "performance", they would not be galloping in the wind, rain, thunder and lightning at this moment, but lay dead in the Red Leaf Hall. Baichun urged the horse until the horse quickly climbed to the top, while Qiu Jiushi behind him pulled out three arrows from the quiver behind his back, clamped them between his fingers in a unique way, easily wound one of the arrows, and aimed at the gate of the outer courtyard.

Qiu Jiushi waited calmly. There are only five hundred steps away from the gate of the outer courtyard of the Hongye Building, and the distance keeps shortening. The two riders galloped out from the outer courtyard gate side by side, and were about to turn into the main street, Qiu Jiushi's bow had been stretched to the full moon, and the powerful arrow left the string, followed by the second and third, at a speed comparable to The factory guard's ultimate weapon, the four-bow crossbow machine, only lost one arrow. "La--" A blast of electricity tore through the darkness above their heads, Qiu Jiushi and Bai Chunyi couldn't see anything for a while, and when they could see things again, they had already passed the gate of the outer courtyard.

The three of them were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. The horses jumped and neighed, and they became a mess, blocking the exit. The knights who came behind couldn't keep their momentum, and the people who collided with them turned on their backs, creating even greater chaos.Three strong arrows, combined with the magic shooting skill and precise strategy, completely paralyzed the pursuers. The wind and rain hit the face head-on, painful and cold. At this moment, Baichun suddenly understood Qiu Jiushi, and also saw his future destiny. Qiu Jiushi's calmness and composure before shooting three arrows made her feel trembling.On the battlefield, he is an absolutely ruthless commander, impervious to emotion, whose only goal is to win every battle.Only a person like him is qualified to be an invincible commander. He is not doing it for personal gain, but for the people of the world.Qiu Jiushi is a person who puts the world first, so when faced with the choice of Jiangshan beauty, he can bear to not choose her for the lofty goal.She respected his character and sentiment, and her love for him continued unabated.But she knew better that she was tired of war. "Chi Chi Chi—" The bowstring vibrated, and the other three powerful arrows shot back from Qiu Jiushi's hand, Baichun didn't dare to look back, for fear of seeing the enemy cavalry hit the arrow and fall to the ground. Baichun secretly sighed, what she loves is Qiu Jiushi's person, but not his life of licking blood. If they want to be together, one of them must change. This is the first time in her life that she encountered a scene of bloodshed in battle. When she broke out of the Red Leaf Hall before, she was not allowed to think about it at all, but the brutal and terrifying scene that appeared at the gate of the outer courtyard just now was still in front of her eyes. Vulnerable, but sure to die under the hooves of the horses. War is absolutely ruthless and cruel, either you die or I die. But her fate has been linked with the hero man behind her, the situation is just like before, she has only one way to go. Baichun had the feeling of letting go of everything and going all out.As long as you once loved each other vigorously and sincerely, tomorrow the sky will fall, and it will be tomorrow! The south gate is in sight. Gu Yueming was the last person to enter the city. The moment he entered the doorway, something strange happened that he never thought of.He is no longer in a dark doorway, but on a small hill, behind which stands a majestic mountain city, surrounded by thousands of warriors, arranged in formation.A mile or so ahead, there are countless enemies, chariots, cavalry and infantry, lined up in array, with flags flying, and the lineup is majestic. Gu Yueming was shocked, wondering what was going on, and couldn't help remembering the "lucid hallucinations" Wu Zixu said, this idea just came up, another emotion occupied his mind again, making him forget whether it was really a hallucination problem, just want to win the immediate war. The drums sound and the enemy starts to move. Someone seemed to be talking beside him. Gu Yueming naturally looked at the person who was speaking beside him, and Wu Zixu's face came into view.Wu Zixu was concentrating on watching the enemy's battle from a distance, with a solemn expression, completely unlike the expression of this guy who usually plays games in the world and regards life and death as a toy. Gu Yueming woke up suddenly, and the lightning flashed behind him, illuminating the dark city road as bright as day. More than a dozen wolves and tigers swarmed towards him like holding knives and holding guns. Gu Yueming's heart surged with heroic emotions. He had never felt such a feeling in his life. In the past, when he killed people, his mind was always kept in a state of ice and snow.He faintly felt that this unprecedented feeling came from the memory of a forgotten past life. Gu Yueming snarled, and with his nimble movement, taking advantage of the moment when the lightning disappeared and the light was swallowed by the darkness, Zuo Wan's sword hit the wall first, and then cut into the middle of the enemy after the enemy passed by. The sound immediately rang non-stop. In terms of the experience of being outnumbered and outnumbered, no one can match him, and one of his special skills is to control the enemy and win in an environment where you can't see your fingers.The dark city road provided him with the most ideal combat environment, so that he had no scruples, and his swordsmanship was in full swing. "Dangdangdang—" His left hand was like a sword, as if with the help of a god, he picked up two long spears and a big knife in succession, and Bai Luyu with his right hand had already cut the throat of another enemy.Suddenly the pressure dropped suddenly, it turned out that he had already entered the city, and there were corpses everywhere behind him. Gu Yueming turned around and turned back into the city road, causing the enemies who intercepted him from the front to be emptied, and the four enemies who were chasing him immediately suffered disaster, fell here and there, and failed to resist a round. Gu Yueming no longer had to worry about the future, and rushed forward again. On the surface, he looked like a rainbow, but he knew his own business. Not only did he have blood from many wounds on his body, but his strength was even more exhausted, and he was at the end of his battle. The left and right city gates began to close together, and the enemy fought and retreated.In addition to the suspension bridge, the south gate of Yueyang City is also divided into inner and outer gates. The enemy is now trying to close the inner gate. At this critical moment between success and failure, Wu Zixu's voice came and said: "Brother Gu, hang on a little longer, we are here." Gu Yueming's spirit was greatly lifted, as if he had regained his strength, his sword glow soared, and he killed him. Chi chi arrows sounded, and the enemies who pushed the door fell to the ground one after another. Qiu Jiushi and Baichun also arrived in time, and the enemy's last line of defense was finally broken by them. The clouds dispersed and the rain gathered, the thunderstorm was over, and the moon showed its magic trace in the dark night sky. Ji Nieti was standing at the south gate, thirty-six masters were waiting for orders, and everyone looked tired.It was definitely an unproductive, exhausting night. Han Kaijia and Hu Guang stood in front of him with dejected expressions. The latter was still in pain where he was kicked by Baichun. Bad news came one after another, causing Jneti to suffer an unprecedented merciless blow.What made him most uncomfortable was the emotions stirred up by the Wushuang woman, which had not calmed down until this moment. What surprised him the most was Qian Shichen's jedi counterattack, taking revenge on him by committing suicide.As long as you have a little understanding of politics, you will know that it is impossible for him to let Qian Shichen have the freedom to choose the way of death. What he said at the beginning was just a casual lie, and only Eunuch Feng can decide how to deal with Qian Shichen.But who would have thought that the situation would get out of control to such an extent. God damn thunderstorm. If Qian Shichen died like this, how would he explain to Eunuch Feng?How to explain? He really couldn't think of a proper way. In fact, Ji Nieti is well aware that he has openly betrayed Eunuch Feng, as long as Eunuch Feng finds out what happened last night, he will know.With Eunuch Feng's usual style, it will be a matter of time before he settles accounts with him. The only hope is that Eunuch Feng will never be able to figure out what happened last night. Even if Qian Shichen is to be handed over to Eunuch Feng, he will first feed Qian Shichen the special medicine, making Qian Shichen half a lunatic, unable to tell the truth in an orderly manner, as long as Eunuch Feng does not know Qian Shichen and Wudun Pirates traded the golden night pearl, so he couldn't imagine that Wudun Pirates had something to do with Chu He. well!He really didn't understand, could the bead that Gu Yueming showed him be the same bead?Why is it dim? Jineti said in a deep voice: "According to the situation at that time, there should be enough time to pull up the suspension bridge, why didn't you do it?" Han Kaijia said dejectedly: "It's not that they haven't tried to pull up the suspension bridge, but when they did so, a bolt of lightning struck straight into the tower, shaking the brother in charge to the ground, and when they regained consciousness, Qiu Jiushi and the others were gone." Flee out of the city." Jneti was terrified and speechless. Hu Guangdao: "What should the subordinate do?" Ji Nie lifted his spirits and said: "After we leave, Yueyang City will be handed over to you. Everything is based on stability. Tomorrow, when the Grand Duke's fleet arrives in Yueyang, General Hu will open the city to welcome him. Report everything to him truthfully. It is up to the Grand Duke to decide what to do." Hu Guang reluctantly agreed, looking at his expression, one could tell that he was afraid because he wanted to serve Eunuch Feng independently. Ji Nieti sighed secretly. If he had a choice, he would definitely stay and report to Eunuch Feng. It is of course much more appropriate to speak from his mouth than through others.But he had to rush to Yunmengze first, and use Mo Liang's nose to find the five escaped robbers.And to find Wudun Pirates is equivalent to finding Gu Yueming and Qiu Jiushi. As long as these three people can be killed, all problems can be easily solved. Can he do it? If there is a place in the world that he does not want to set foot in at present, it is Yunmengze, but as Gu Yueming said, he has no other choice at all. If he had a choice, he would take all the men he transferred to Yunmengze, but he had to keep them and assist Hu Guang in suppressing Yueyang City. Ji Nieti sighed again in his heart, stepped on his horse, led Han Kaijia and other thirty-six masters, and left the city.
