Chapter 24 Chapter One

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were wearing ragged and wet clothes, galloping and laughing in the mountains, heading towards the guessed location of Pengcheng. They are now penniless and have even lost their weapons, but their mood is surprisingly happy. The two walked faster and faster. Although mouth and nose breathing is often unsustainable, the internal breath is constantly running. Kou Zhong rushed up a boulder, leaped in the air and turned over to the slope below, unexpectedly his footing was unstable, and he rolled straight to the grass at the bottom of the slope three or forty feet downhill, this time even his left sleeve was torn off by a branch, revealing his thick body arm.

Xu Ziling's childlike innocence was still intact, he followed Kou Zhong's example, and collided with Kou Zhong, hugging his head and laughing, ecstasy. Kou Zhong suddenly said "Huh", pointed to the distant sky and said: "What is that?" Xu Ziling looked up, saw the red light flashing, and said in shock: "Fire!" Kou Zhong jumped up and said: " Let's go and see!" It was a small town that had burned down, and all the houses had been burned to the top.The corpses of people and animals were scattered all over the town and outside the town, some of which were only recognizable charcoal.

Except for the thick smoke constantly rising everywhere and the burning houses, this supposedly bustling and prosperous market town has turned into a dead ghostland, and the survivors should flee far away. Some of them were still stained with blood that had just dried up, and the killers dealt with them brutally, regardless of gender or age.The two watched with tears in their eyes, but their hearts were as cold as ice. Did Du Fuwei's subordinates do this?Why did they behave like a beast. In the west of the town, there was a faint sound of carriages, horses and people, but it gradually faded away.

The two gritted their teeth fiercely and chased after them wildly. After passing through a dense forest.The two immediately stared blankly. I saw that the official road to the north was full of Sui soldiers. Everyone's armor was in disarray and the banners were crooked. It was obvious that they were retreating defeated troops.There are countless mule carts falling at the end of the team, due to the load.Get rid of the brigade, and support this journey like an old man. When they were wondering whether the defeated army had committed this monstrous atrocity, there was a burst of men's laughter from the mule cart, and then a naked woman was thrown out of the cart with blood, and fell off with a "Peng!" On the dirt road, he remained motionless, apparently dead.

Sui Bing, who was driving the car, laughed and said, "Old Zhang, you are really good, this is the third one." Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were furious, but they could not restrain themselves, and rushed up. The bandit soldier who had just raped and murdered the innocent girl in the car stood up, saw the two of them suddenly, drew out his saber, and laughed loudly: "I'm dead, did your mother do it to me?" The two were filled with righteous indignation. , Then remember that you have no weapons.He flew up and rushed towards the Sui soldier. The Sui soldier saw that the two were members of the Hui family, he was startled, he called his accomplice in the car to turn around and help, and at the same time swept out with his knife, hoping to prevent the two from rushing into the car.

Kou Zhong was the first to bear the brunt, only to realize that there was no weapon in his hand to block the block, without thinking, he took a breath of true energy, and for the first time in the vertical leap, he went up again, avoiding the enemy's knife by a tiny margin.After turning a barely qualified somersault, he came to the sky behind the enemy. The Sui soldiers driving in front pulled out their spears and struck them in the chest. Just at this moment, Kou Zhonggang was startled by the breakthrough he made in mid-air, his heart was shocked, and he took a deep breath of "acquired qi", his true qi became turbid, and he fell heavily on the grain and goods behind the mule cart, avoiding the opponent instead spear.

At this time, Xu Ziling was standing on the edge of the railing with his front foot, and when he saw the big knife sweeping towards him, he hurriedly used his front foot as the axis, and kicked sideways with his left foot, which hit the opponent's left ear. Breathe out through your feet. The Sui soldier who committed the beastly act didn't even have time to scream, his neck was broken, he flew upside down and fell off the car, and died on the spot. It was Xu Ziling's first time to kill someone, so he lost his true energy in shock and rolled into the pile of goods. Kou Zhonggang stretched out his hand and grabbed the opponent's spear firmly, and pulled it with force, the Sui soldier driving the chariot lost his footing and fell between the throne and the trailer, screaming pitifully.

The Sui soldiers in front noticed something was wrong, so more than ten riders turned around and killed the generals. Kou Zhong shouted: "Get away!" The two hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, and disappeared into the dense forest beside the road without a trace. The two walked more than ten miles in one breath before sitting down to rest. Xu Ziling sighed and said: "I just killed someone! How can I kick him to death with one kick." Kou Zhong put his arms around his shoulder and said: "This kind of murderer, arsonist, and adulterer, death is not a pity. Why do you feel uneasy." After a pause, he continued: "The dog soldiers in our Yangzhou city did not run amok and oppress the good people, but they did not expect that even murder and arson were their masterpieces, no wonder so many people rebelled. Compared with the above, The old man's subordinates are pretty good. Hey! Did you hear any sound?" Xu Ziling collected his attention and listened attentively. Sure enough, there were bursts of killing sounds faintly carried by the wind, and the range was very wide. It seemed that there were two Help people, is a life and death battle.

They thought of the people who were massacred by the Sui soldiers just now, and their blood boiled suddenly, and they jumped up. Kou Zhong regretted and said: "If I had known that I would have picked up that spear just now, I would have gone to find those dog soldiers." Xu Ziling's chest was full of murderous intent, and he responded: "Let's check the situation first, we need to grab two It's not easy to master a sword, anyway, what we lack most is fighting experience, let's use these bandit soldiers who are not as good as beasts to try the sword." The two of them had a small test of skill just now, and the results were outstanding, so they were full of confidence.

Kou Zhong nodded and said: "It seems that we are quite capable now, but we don't have the chance to practice more, brother! Come on! Today is the first day of our journey across the rivers and lakes." Running around. After swimming across a stream, they unfolded their posture again, turned over a hill, went straight to the top of the hill, and when they came to a hill, their eyes suddenly opened up. On the plain below, two groups of men and horses were fighting fiercely. On one side were nearly ten thousand Sui soldiers, and on the other side were all big men in blue and strong suits. The number of them was only a quarter of the Sui soldiers, but everyone's martial arts skills were good.The formation was complete, and the Sui soldiers were rushed to fragments, making it difficult to take advantage of the large number of people.

On a small hill at the other end of the plain, there was apparently the command post of the Tsing Yi Warriors. There were several teams stationed there, directing the Tsing Yi Warriors to move forward and backward with red, blue and yellow lights. It was the first time for the two of them to witness the tragic scene of the bloody battle between the two armies on the battlefield, and they were stunned for a while, forgetting the purpose of coming here. After a while.Kou Zhong came back to his senses, pointed to the sparse lights farther away and said: "That may be another county, maybe the warriors in green are preventing the Sui soldiers from killing people and setting fire there, what is it all about?" What about it?" Xu Ziling let out a sigh of relief: "If this is someone from the father's side, we shouldn't intervene, otherwise, wouldn't we be sending ourselves into the tiger's mouth?" Kou Zhong thought for a while and said: "How can the father's subordinates be like this?" The clothes are neat and tidy, it seems to be another rebel army. Hey! Xiaoling! Are you timid?" Xu Ziling laughed, and stretched two thick arms from a nearby tree, which were as long as Zhang Xu He threw a tree trunk to Kou Zhong, and said with a smile, "It's up to him to be a chivalrous man, to be promoted and to get rich." Kou Zhong removed the branches and leaves, carried them on his shoulders, and said courteously, "Xu Zhuang, please go first!" Xu Ziling He waved the tree trunk in the air a few times, and after mastering the strength of the force, he sang: "The wind is blowing and the water is cold, and the strong man must return it when he is gone. Ha! I am gone!" Amidst loud laughter, the two of them went to each other first. Then, run down the hillside. Just as he was about to go to the plain, there was a sound of arrows, and a row of arrows shot quickly from the grass about ten feet ahead. The two of them had no experience in dealing with strong arrows, and they didn't expect that there would be an ambush, so they fell to the ground in shock, in a state of embarrassment.The powerful arrow passed by above, extremely dangerous. The two of them lost all their vigor, they crawled and rolled, and hid behind a pile of rocks and miscellaneous trees that stretched more than ten feet away, not daring to move. The sound of dense footsteps rushed towards their hiding place, and suddenly there were Sui soldiers on the left and right, everyone was holding spears, and they were killing them, I don't know how many people there were. Only then did they realize that the Tsing Yi warriors were trapped in a heavy siege, and the Sui soldiers intercepting them now wanted to prevent the Tsing Yi warriors' reinforcements from coming to rescue them. If the two had a choice, they would definitely run away, they would not pretend to be heroes, but at this moment there was no way to avoid it, so they jumped up, danced with the thick tree trunks, gathered all their strength, and swept violently. Four spears were sent flying by the thick tree trunk, and two of them were beaten to the point of bleeding, and fell away. At this time, there were enemies in front and back, and the torch was held high on the periphery, shining bright red. A team of knives and axes rushed into the inner circle, hacking and chopping their thick tree trunks. Amid the sound of killing, when the two of them forced back another round of attack, only a small half of the thick tree trunk was left in their hands, but half of the enemy Can't hurt. Kou Zhong knew something was wrong and shouted, "Get on the rock!" Xu Ziling tossed and fell with him to the pile of rocks behind him. The enemy shouted, and more than a dozen spears were thrown at them. At this juncture of life and death, the two calmed down, as if they could not hear any sound, and it seemed that no sound could escape their spiritual ears. The zhenqi in the body was running several times faster than usual. In comparison, the speed of the enemy's pursuit and throwing spears slowed down. They clearly grasped the angle taken by each spear thrown at them and the time of arrival, and that feeling was definitely unattainable in ordinary dreams. With their backs to their backs, they picked up the tree trunks that were only about four feet away, swiped left and right, and blocked the front and lower grids. Seeing that the spear-throwing was ineffective, the enemy rushed to the stone pile with five or six axemen, wanting to start a hand-to-hand fight and put them to death. Kou Zhong dodged the big knife with a short body, the tree trunk swept the ankle of a swordsman, the man fell to the ground immediately, Kou Zhong snatched the opponent's long knife, and stabbed it into the belly of another Sui soldier who came with an axe. Xu Ziling also grabbed a long knife at this time, he was so excited that he threw a thick tree trunk, knocking a Sui soldier down into a rock crevice, he immediately rushed to Kou Zhong's side and said, "Let's break in!" Shout, leave the rocks and enter the enemy's formation. Xu Ziling displayed Li Jing's ten styles of bloody battles that are most powerful on the battlefield. He strode forward, and the long saber flashed with lightning. The upper spear seemed to have no blocking effect at all, and Xu Ziling got in through a gap, struck a vital point in his chest, fell backwards, and spattered blood. Kou Zhongyijian flicked his wrist, first pushed aside the two spears that were stabbing him, and swept across with his knife, a Sui soldier was hit in the throat and fell to the ground miserably. The two wanted to get the ten moves of the bloody battle to be so powerful, and their courage doubled. I just feel that although there are many enemies, they clearly know the strength of the enemy's offensive and all the subtle changes. They can even infer the distribution of peripheral strength from the pressure of the enemy. The feeling is really indescribable. In an instant, they forgot about life and death, and in this chaotic battlefield, they displayed their survival instincts. Even in the face of hundreds of enemies and shining swords and spears, he is still fearless. Naturally, the two cooperated seamlessly, moving quickly in the enemy's formation, you attack and I defend, and I defend you to attack. If the two of them were to come up with such a joint attack in normal times, they might not be able to think of it, but at this moment, it is like a godsend, and there is no trace of chiseling. Xu Ziling swung his saber and slashed fiercely, the true energy in his body was like a mighty river, gushing out with the saber, the opponent's sword-wielder didn't even have time to seal the frame, he watched his saber strike with lightning, and fell to the ground in shock. Kou Zhong's saber turned rapidly, and the endless energy in his body went away with the saber. Although the opponent used his saber to seal the frame with all his strength, he couldn't slash Kou Zhong's saber halfway. Since Fu Junchuo taught them the "Nine Mysteries Dafa", the two finally combined the "Nine Mysteries Dafa", the "Longevity Formula" which has nothing to do with martial arts, Li Jing's "Ten Styles of Bloody Battle" and the beauty gang leader's "Nine Mysteries Dafa" in this extremely dangerous situation The "Bird Crossing Technique" is integrated, and each creates its own unique tactics. When they came to the spear formation at this time, they felt that there were gaps everywhere, they brushed aside the enemy's spears casually, and when they got close, the enemy had nothing to do but wait to be slaughtered. Since the enemy saw that there were only two of them, they only sent out a small group of about a hundred Sui soldiers to intercept them. Now they were rushing from left to right, and seeing that their swordsmanship was strong, who didn't love their lives, the Sui soldiers on the periphery scattered in all directions. Back off. The two of them were already feeling weak and timid, so they sprinted with all their strength when they saw this situation, and they escaped successfully in an instant. After running for more than a hundred feet, they arrived in a forest, and the two fell into a ball, panting strongly. Kou Zhong laughed hard and said: "Ha! It's a success! Such a big battle can't kill us, have you ever thought about it before?" Xu Ziling plunged the knife into the soil, holding the knife handle, and gasped, "Just now our kind of The way of playing is too hard, in fact, in this situation, you can save more strength, so you don’t have to be so soft-handed and soft-footed like now.” Kou Zhong said: “Are you injured? My back was chopped twice, luckily I dodged Be quick." Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "It's just that the spear blade scratched his trousers on his left leg. It's nothing." He got up and said: "Of course, if we teach these non-human Sui troops to invade that village or market town, the terrible situation like just now will happen again." Kou Zhong got up happily and said: "This is what I am My good brother, let's be smart this time, and don't be intercepted halfway." The two jumped to the top of the tree, saw the situation clearly, made a big circle, and then rushed to the battlefield. In that instant, they all felt that they had grown up and were not just two punks anymore.
