Chapter 25 Chapter Two Conspiracy and Trick

The two of them slithered and sneaked cautiously towards the battlefield. After passing through a sparse forest, when they came to the southeast corner of the battlefield, they were finally discovered. Six or seven Sui soldiers rushed out of the grass on the left.With a long sword in his hand, he yelled repeatedly, and charged like a mad tiger. On the other side, a cavalry cavalry group of about 50 people who had already formed a formation and waited in full force also rushed to them with their spears. The two men's fear of the enemy was greatly reduced, without saying a word, they first went to meet the Sui soldiers who came on foot, and slashed with their knives.

The two of them recalled the tragic situation of the village and town that had been razed to scorched earth and all people and animals were slaughtered. Murderous intent surged in their chests.Several Sui soldiers raised their swords and flew, and none of them survived. At this time, the enemy's cavalry had arrived, and the two of them used lightness kung fu to hide between the bushes and bushes, making it difficult for the enemy to chase them. When the cavalry retreated and they rushed out of the grassland again, a group of archers and axe soldiers who were lying there suddenly came silently, and after cutting down several people like melons, they thought it was the enemy. A large number of reinforcements came, and they were in a mess.

Some of the torches fell onto the grass, and immediately burst into flames, spreading in all directions. The two are yet to know that the fire was their savior. It turns out that the Sui soldiers in this area numbered 3,000 strong, and among them there were many masters of martial arts. Under normal circumstances, once caught in a heavy siege, even if they were as strong as Du Fuwei's generation, they would have to fight hard and die in the end. , let alone these two inexperienced boys. Kou Zhong yelled, "This way!" Five Sui soldiers came up to meet them, Xu Ziling arrived first.He rushed forward, flicked the long knife, and performed the "survival and death" of ten bloody battles.The saber technique was like a huge wave, with vigor and vigor, one person was killed by the saber immediately, the other was swept away by him and flew to the side, the other three shouted and fled separately.

The two of them had tried such awe-inspiring prestige before, they were so happy that they screamed and went to the core of the battlefield to kill. "when!" Suddenly one person moved horizontally in front of Kou Zhong, and the left and right maces abruptly stopped him on the spot. When Xu Ziling rushed forward, he was also forced to retreat by the opponent. So far in the battle, the two met each other's strong opponents for the first time. Countless Sui soldiers rushed out from behind the man and rushed to kill him. The one who forced the two of them back was a general of the Sui army, he was full of anger and shouted: "Cut these two boys to pieces."

At this time, about half a mile away from the plain, on the high hill at the other end, nearly two hundred warriors in green clothes formed a formation, with strong bows and arrows.In the center is a beautiful woman in white with long hair hanging down her shoulders. Every time the beauty issued an order, the three subordinates in charge of lighting the lights waved the three-color lanterns tied to the top of the long poles to direct the offensive and defensive advances and retreats of their own warriors on the battlefield. There were four people standing in a row behind the beauty. Just by looking at their demeanor, one could tell that they were all masters.They are a dwarf with a thick beard, a giant man like an iron tower, a man in a Confucian uniform, and an ugly middle-aged Jianao.

The long-haired beauty said softly: "It's strange! Why is the enemy in the southeast corner in disorder? Who will come to help us?" The beautiful eyes of the long-haired beauty said deeply: "It's not obvious on the surface; I also saw the clues from the waving of the opponent's flag. If the chaos expands, we must make good use of it. Chance to win." The man in the Confucian uniform had a look of admiration in his eyes, and said respectfully: "Miss is a scholar of heaven and man, and is proficient in the art of war. What's more, her eyes are like a torch, which is indeed beyond the reach of capable people."

The ugly woman said: "In my opinion, if there are reinforcements coming, we should break through first and then plan a counterattack. The young lady has a body of a thousand gold, so there is no need to put yourself in danger." As soon as she spoke, the others immediately lamented her for her ugly voice like a night owl's neighing Big frown. But her words were supported by the thick-bearded dwarf, who agreed: "When Mr. Li sent us to protect the lady, he once said that the safety of the lady is the most important thing in everything." Displeasure flashed across the long-haired beauty's unparalleled beauty, but her tone of voice was still so gentle, she said lightly: "As a commander, how can I only care about myself when I am in danger, and the defeat is like a mountain, if I arrive If Qin Shubao's elite Sui army can't help him, if he breaks into Fuchun, it will be hard to get back." Just as he finished speaking, the southeast corner caught fire.

The long-haired beauty immediately felt that the opponent was really in chaos from the subtle changes in the enemy's formation. You must know that the southeast corner is the battlefield headquarters of the enemy general, and if one pulls it, it will affect the whole body, unless there are mutations in other places, it will not matter. The long-haired beauty still had that elegant and pretty appearance, and issued an order to counterattack in an all-round way with the southeast corner as the primary target. The four behind them pulled out their weapons, embraced the long-haired beauty and mounted the drawn horses. More than 200 people galloped down the hill, and joined two teams of 1,000 warriors each into the battlefield to start a full-scale decisive battle with the enemy.

Kou and Xu were caught in a fierce battle at this time, unable to advance or retreat, suddenly the Sui soldiers retreated in all directions, and it turned out that a group of blue-clothed warriors rode their horses to kill them, and immediately dispersed the surrounding Sui soldiers. The two were happy to get out of trouble, and at the same time they were exhausted and unable to continue their strength. They turned over and fled into the raging grassland, held their breath and walked left and right, far away from the battlefield. When he fell down on a hill, he no longer had the strength to run.

The sound of fighting on the battlefield still came like a tide. Kou Zhong sighed: "Don't do such stupid things again. A good man can't stand a crowd. Although we are out-and-out heroes, there are many people on the other side. Do you understand?" Xu Ziling said: "I don't know who that Sui general is, but he is very powerful. Fortunately, we are quick, otherwise we would be killed with a single mace." Kou Zhong snorted coldly: "What is he? Let's play two more games to ensure that we can beat him, oh!" Seeing that he was covered in blood like himself, Xu Ziling asked concerned, "Did you hurt any vitals?"

Kou Zhongyan said: "Can I still run here after being injured? It's thanks to you to say such contradictory words. That's right! Why don't I show you the wound first." Xu Ziling said: "What's there to see? So what? Fortunately, we have the magical powers of self-healing, why don't we sleep on his mother's sleep, and let's forget about it tomorrow!" Breathing, entering the realm of forgetting both things and me. Xu Ziling seemed to be aware of it, when he opened his eyes, Kou Zhong was still asleep in the long grass. He stretched his limbs, and only then did he feel burning pain from the seven or eight wounds on his body. The sun has risen to the right sky, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant all around, and the empty mountains are still.The battle last night was like a distant and unreal nightmare, and if it weren't for the pain in every part of the body, one would think that there was no fighting at all. A group of birds flew slowly across the seemingly still blue sky. At this moment, Xu Ziling seems to have captured some long-lasting mystery of nature, but he cannot describe it in detail. Xu Ziling's heart was peaceful and clear. After last night's battle where he was constantly on the verge of death, he felt that he had entered a new stage in his life. All the dangers and sufferings are just the necessary experience and process of training and practice. Kou Zhong bumped him with his elbow, and said with a low smile, "What are you thinking?" Xu Ziling sat up, frowned and looked at the blood-stained and charcoal-stained ragged trousers, and smiled wryly: "I'm thinking about a clean and tidy new suit and a rich meal, and I can make do with everything else. .” Kou Zhong got up.After looking left and right, he said dejectedly: "Little brother has completely lost the sense of direction. Not to mention whether Pengcheng is in the east or west. How about it? Shall we randomly find a direction and try our luck." Xu Ziling said: "Why did Zhong Shaohui suddenly lose his position? A big city like Pengcheng must be connected by official roads. As long as we go back to the main road last night, we will humbly ask people when we meet, and we will definitely find them." the right way." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "That's right! Let's go!" The two found a mountain road and walked casually to the ruined town last night based on their memory. After running wildly for a while, at least seven or eight miles away, they slowed down and looked around the situation. Kou Zhong smiled wryly and said: "It seems that we are lost, otherwise we should have seen the market town. There are no people in front of this place, and the village in the back. It is impossible to find someone to ask the way, hey! What is that?" Xu Ziling had seen fireworks rising from the bottom of the mountain earlier, and said happily, "Don't care what it is. You can tell when you go over and see." The two rushed down the mountain, but they didn't know that the place that seemed not far away could only be reached at dusk. It turned out to be a small village. Cooking smoke curled up from the tiled roof of one of the rooms, obviously someone made a fire to make food. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were worried about them, this area is not far from the battlefield, if a few Sui soldiers who are not as good as beasts come, the people in the village will be in great trouble. In a blink of an eye, when I came to the entrance of the village, I saw only about 30 families, and the houses were sparse.But it was silent, and there was no normal scene of chicken crowing and dog barking. The two felt wronged. Kou Zhongdao: "The doors of every house in this village are closed. It seems that the villagers have already fled to other places because of the war. The village house with the fireworks rising may be borrowed by passers-by to make a fire for cooking. Should we try our luck? , if something is wrong, run away, with our lightness kung fu, there should be no problem!" Xu Ziling slapped the long knife on his back, laughed and said: "We are not afraid of thousands of troops, but what kind of passerby are we afraid of him? If he is a businessman, we will ask him for a bowl of rice, or beg him My temporary bodyguard earns some Panchuan to find Sister Susu." Kou Zhong puffed out his chest and said, "I almost forgot that I am a first-class expert, ha! Come on!" He took the lead and marched into the village. I saw that the place where the smoke rose was the largest house in the village, with two entrances, front and back, and a patio, but the doors and windows were closed.There is a mysterious smell, and no sound is heard. Kou Zhong yelled, "Is anyone there?" He called several times, but no one responded. Xu Ziling's heart trembled, he pushed Kou Zhong and said, "It's better to slip away." Kou Zhong said: "Have you forgotten your status as a master? Let's go in and have a look, maybe he left two bowls of rice for us when he left." When he came to the front of the house, Kou Zhong stretched out his foot, and the door of the house opened with his foot. The two of them crossed the threshold and entered the hall, only to see all the furniture and utensils were there, but they were covered with dust and cobwebs were formed on the corners of the walls, it was obvious that they had been abandoned for a long time. I couldn't help feeling strange, walked through the courtyard and walked to the back house, only to find that there was no one in the house, I just didn't know who had lit the stove in the kitchen, forming a scene of cooking smoke curling up, but at this time the remaining smoke was weak and was about to go out. When Xu Ziling was examining the traces on the ground, Kou Zhong's voice came from the back hall and said, "Come on, Xiaoling, you have found half of your dream." Entering the door of the back compartment, a dark cloud covered his face, he stretched out his hand to touch it, and it turned out to be a set of clean sackcloth. I saw a big box dragged out from under the bed, the lid was opened, Kou Zhong took out a pile of clothes and scattered them on the bed, just like a treasure hunter picking left and right. After the two happily put on new clothes, they felt refreshed, but they were hungry and felt that there was a fly in the ointment.At this time, the sky had darkened, and the two searched the house, but still could not find half a grain of rice or wheat. Kou Zhongdao: "Every village must have a fruit forest. You clean the bed here, and I will pick some beautiful fruits to satisfy my hunger. The bed and quilt are all here. We will spend the night here tonight, and we will be on our way tomorrow." Xu Ziling nodded in agreement, Split up. After a while, Kou Zhong came back with a big rooster in his hand and said, "So there are still some domestic animals left behind, hey! There is a large cemetery behind, most of which are new graves. It seems that the people in this village have not left. Died of a disease such as an epidemic." Xu Ziling let out a breath of cold air and said, "Then what we are wearing is..." Kou Zhong took the big rooster to the courtyard to dispose of, and shouted: "At least one person is still alive, otherwise whoever erects a grave for the dead person may be the one who lit the fire?" Xu Ziling was terrified when he heard that, he walked out of the courtyard and pulled Kou Zhong, saying, "Why don't you change to the second room? I'll go find the kindling!" Although Kou Zhong put on a bold appearance on the surface, he was actually trembling in his heart. He immediately fully supported Xu Ziling's proposal and moved to a smaller room on the other side.When I was about to fill my stomach, I suddenly turned up and touched the beds, closed the doors and windows, and leaned against the corner to rest. Although my heart was terrified, it was no match for the exhaustion of my body, and I fell into a deep sleep. In the middle of the night, the two woke up with a start. When he sat up in amazement, the sound of hooves boomed, filling the space outside the house. They got up, moved to the window, and looked out. I saw a group of people rushing into the village, riding their horses, dressed in fast clothes, carrying quiver, their appearance was rough and wild, not like the middle-earth people. There were about 30 people in this group, and one of them was particularly majestic, carrying a rectangular box about eight feet long on his shoulders, but he felt relaxed and at ease. When they arrived in the village, the big man with the suitcase jumped off his horse calmly and put the suitcase across the road, while the others kicked off their horses one after another. One of the tall, thin men who seemed to be the leader was still sitting on the saddle, and made a sign to search. Except for the giant man with the suitcase, the others quickly dispersed and kicked the door into the house separately. Kou and Xu saw that this group of people were all nimble and quick-moving, and they were all martial arts masters. Then they remembered that they were also martial arts masters, jumped onto the beam, and hid in the gap between the beam and the tile roof. Concealed and safe. Footsteps below came and went, went and came again.Then there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the two couldn't help but look down. It turned out that those people actually put the box into the room and placed it under them.Only then did I realize that there were more than ten small holes in the lid of the box. Four big men were guarding the front and back doors, looking nervous. Then another person came into the room, the two of them hurriedly retracted their heads, closed their mouths and noses to breathe, and used their inner breath, not daring to make any noise. The rapid speaking of the people below in a language they had never heard convinced them that this group of people came from outside Middle-earth.And even more puzzled. The people below suddenly stopped talking. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling waited for a long time before they heard the sound of hooves coming from somewhere outside the village.He became more and more worried and did not dare to show any signs or sounds, because the hearing of these outsiders was obviously better than theirs. Those people said a few more words, and then walked out of the house together. Kou Zhong stretched out his hand and wrote on Xu Ziling's back: "There must be a person hidden in the box, otherwise why open the air holes for ventilation?" Xu Ziling nodded in agreement. At this time, another group of people galloped into the village, listening to the sound of hooves, it should be similar in number to the previous group. The sound of hooves stopped suddenly. A man's voice sounded and said: "Pu Shangong's Zu Junyan, I wish your country's Sibi Khan dragon body and health." Shibi Khan is the Turkic Khan. A long smile sounded outside the house and said: "It turned out to be Mr. Zu Junyan who is both civil and military under the command of Mi Gong. I don't know if Mr. Khan has brought what we asked for." Zu Junyan calmly replied: "May I ask this general, what should I call you?" Another majestic voice from the Turkic side said: "People say that Zujun Yan is well-known and well-remembered. He is the most well-informed figure besides Shen Luoyan, the 'pretty military division' under Mi Gong. Why can't even our General Yan recognize him? Woolen cloth?" Zu Junyan laughed and said, "It turns out that it is General Yan Lihui who is known as the 'General with Two Spears', so this friend must be Tie Xiong, the 'Fierce Lion'. I am disrespectful." Yan Lihui snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, where are the things?" Zu Junyan said indifferently: "I would like to see Miss Shang first before showing the treasure. This is the order of Mi Gong. General, please forgive me." Xu Ziling's heart was shocked when he heard it. Is the young lady mentioned by Zu Junyan the master of Susu?Because Susu was attacked by people, she was exiled to the countryside in the south of the Yangtze River. The two thought of the big box below at the same time. Is the jewel in the palm of Zhai Rang, the leader of the dragon, in the box? Kou Zhong wrote on Xu Ziling's back again: "Waiting for the opportunity to save people!" Yan Lihui sneered outside and said: "Once we get the treasure, we will let him go. What Da Khan said never counts. If Mr. doesn't show the treasure again, Da Longtou will only get back the corpse of his beloved daughter. All responsibility rests with Mr. Zu." Zu Junyan said with a long smile: "Heshibi is on Zu's back. You hand over the goods and we deliver the goods. This is what was agreed earlier. If there is a sudden change of mind, the responsibility should be taken by General Yan." .” Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's minds felt like a thunderbolt, and only then did they realize that the treasure was actually He's Bi, which has been passed down through the ages. At this moment, a sudden change popped up below. The back door flew away like grains of sand, and the two guarding Turkic masters were thrown away from the ground before they even had time to fight back.When the other two woke up, a black shadow had already flown over their heads, forcibly scratching their heavenly spirit caps. The most frightening thing, whether it is breaking the door, flying to the ground, or killing people with bare hands, everything happens silently.It seems to be a normal law, which has nothing to do with this person.Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling knew that this person's martial arts had reached perfection, he was also extremely feminine, and he moved as fast as a ghost.Just before the door shattered to the ground, four Turkic masters guarding the wooden box were killed. The minds of the two of them went blank, and they didn't dare to read any more, even the movement of their inner breath slowed down. It's not that their profound art comes from the unique "Secret of Longevity", which can slow down and restrain the breath, energy, pulse, and heartbeat that arouse the alertness of masters to a state close to death, otherwise people would have noticed it long ago. The martial arts of the comer will never be lower than that of Du Fuwei. "Eah!" The lid of the box was lifted. The man let out an exclamation, followed by a loud bang, followed by a series of muffled thunderous sounds. "boom!" Amidst a deafening noise, the bricks and stones of the wall on the left were splashed, and the person who came came out of the wall abruptly, let out an earth-shattering roar, and quickly went away, the sound was extremely shocking, and the whole house trembled . The sand and stones hit Kou Xu and Kou Xu, although they were protected by zhenqi, they still felt unbearable pain, which shows that this person's internal energy is strong. The two couldn't bear it any longer, and looked down again. I saw that the box had been reduced to debris, and the furniture in the house had also been reduced to pieces of wood. A majestic man like a mountain stands in the center of the hall, wearing a large black robe, facing the direction of the hole in the wall, and is concentrating on adjusting his breath. From their perspective, although they couldn't see his face, they could clearly see that he was wearing a hideous mask. There was a sound of the wind, and several people rushed in through the hole in the wall and the front and rear doors. They were so scared that they retreated hurriedly. Zu Junyan's voice sounded first: "He's injured!" There was an indescribably weird and absurd feeling in the hearts of the two of them.It stands to reason that the person who came to rescue Miss Dalongtou should be Zu Junyan's own talent, and the mysterious man hiding in the box is his enemy.Why does Zu Junyan speak in a tone that seems to be on the side of the mysterious man? Bao unexpected things follow.He only heard the voice of the Turkic master Yan Lihui: "Zhai Rang has been injured for the first time since his debut, but it will make his hard work in the past come to an end." Tie Xiong snorted coldly, "This is what happens to people who don't know current affairs." Only then did they realize that Zu Junyan had betrayed Zhai Rang and Li Mi, and colluded with the Turkic people to act.No wonder the Turks were able to grasp Miss Susu's whereabouts and took her away. A deep and soft voice said: "Although he is not killed, the ideal result has been achieved. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's follow the plan." Both Zu Junyan and Yan Lihui responded in unison. After a while, all the people below left, but the two of them were so frightened that they dared not slip down until dawn and left quietly.
