Chapter 109 Chapter Three

Xu Ziling squatted beside the creek, washed his hands first, then took out his hands to fetch water, and took two sips happily. The cool stream poured into his throat, refreshing his spirits. Although there were still fighting sounds not far away, and hooves roaring like thunder from the other side, they seemed to have nothing to do with him for the time being. Three small cuts in his arm, left shoulder, and right leg still hurt a little, but they have mostly healed and are not bleeding anymore. He still has a vivid memory in his mind, how to kill multiple bosses of the enemy under the siege, and then escape from the siege with the help of the tree.

The strength of the thieves is obviously more than a few thousand people, and the number of masters is like a cloud, which makes the ranch warriors facing each other repeatedly fall into hard battles. Now the only way to save Pegasus Ranch is to find the main forces of the four major bandits first, and then kill their commanders by means of sniping. Only in this way can the morale of the enemy bandits be completely frustrated and their positions disrupted. After making up his mind, Xu Ziling shot out the magic escape and jumped to the top of a towering ancient tree beside the stream to observe the situation on the battlefield.

Chai Shao sneered and said, "Assuming you can't die, let's have a cup of hot tea with you and chat!" Tanshou took Li Xiuning's jade hand, and quickly backed away. Kou Zhong was furious at the sight and stayed on the spot, not knowing that Li Gang and Dou Wei were also moving away. Chai Shao shouted: "Fire the arrow!" Amidst the sound of "swish", all the soldiers of the Li family on the eaves and in the garden drew their crossbows at the same time and shot arrows at Kou Zhong. Chai Shao also let go of Li Xiuning's hand, and shot at Kou Zhong with two armguards like lightning, with extremely fierce force.

Even with Kou Zhong's ability, it is difficult to use Jing Zhongyue in his hand to block this ingenious arrow array attack at the same time, let alone deal with Chai Shao's free-handed two steel rods that are full of strength. Kou Zhong came back to his senses in an instant, and shot straight up before the powerful arrow pierced his body.Li Xiuning screamed coquettishly, when all the arrows and armguards were in vain, he followed the sword and chased after Kou Zhong with his tail in his mouth. The sound of the crossbow being loaded resounded in all directions, indicating that the second round of arrow attack was about to be launched.

To deal with Li Xiuning's attack from below and the dense crossbow arrows shooting at any time in a void where there is no way to rely on strength, let alone cover, even Ning Daoqi and Bi Xuan would be at a loss what to do. Kou Zhong, however, was unafraid, he shot the lightning with his left hand towards the top of the old tree on the left, just before Li Xiuning's long sword reached him, he moved sideways and disappeared into the darkness in the distance.Seeing that Chai Shao and the others were stunned, there was nothing they could do. Xu Ziling galloped up a hill and stopped. There are overgrown trees at the foot of the hill, and a small river flows through the middle, winding away.A little further away is the small village I saw just now on the high mountain.

Just now when he was observing the situation on the battlefield, he found that the main force of bandits was gathering around the village from all directions, he felt strange, so he came to have a look. The small village in front of him was as quiet as a ghost land, not aware of any abnormal situation at all, after a moment of meditation, he swept down the hillside. When he got close, he suddenly felt a warning, just like the feeling of being watched from a boat by the Yangtze River outside Baling City, he couldn't help being surprised. Which party is hiding in the house? From time to time in the distance, the sound of fighting came with the wind, reminding him that the war was still in the ascendant.

After Xu Ziling took a deep breath, with strong confidence, he came to the door of the tallest house in the village and knocked three times. "Yeah!" The wooden door was closed inward, and the long sword stabbed at the chest. This sword is not simple, it looks like a sword, but in fact it implies endless aggression and changes. The most powerful part is that the tip of the sword trembles and emits seven or eight degrees of "Chi Chi" sword energy, covering Xu Ziling's chest All the key points in the abdomen are impressive. Xu Ziling felt a little bit like facing Yang Xuyan, and because he was in a bright place, his eyes were full of sword lights for a moment, and he suddenly felt short of breath.

Seeing that he was about to be wounded by the sword, Xu Ziling flicked his slender hands up to his flat chest, his ten fingers bloomed like flowers, and each finger produced subtle changes, making graceful movements from different angles, welcoming him in a narrow space. On the sword glow. "jingling!" A series of pleasant voices sounded like pearls walking on a jade plate, and Xu Ziling unswervingly resolved the opponent's sharp sword move. "boom!" The door of the room was closed again, but Xu Ziling had already seen that the one who issued the sword was Shang Xiuxun in military uniform.

Although he wondered why Shang Xiuxun didn't preside over the overall situation on the battlefield and instead slipped here, but he was relieved because the beauty, the owner of the field, was still safe and sound. Just as they were about to raise their voices to speak, the sound of thunderous hooves came from the village entrances at both ends. Xu Ziling's thoughts turned, he flew back, jumped onto the tile roof of the opposite house, lay down motionless, and quietly watched the changes. Kou Zhong left Huanlvyuan and came to the top of a bell tower, almost crying bitterly, his heart was sore and astringent, he was extremely sad.

He originally thought that Li Xiuning could be forgotten, but when he saw Li Xiuning submissively allowing Chai Shao to hold her delicate hand, he realized that she was still so important in his heart.Since she has Chai Shao to protect the flowers, why bother with an outsider like herself? Blowing crepe a pool of spring water, doing Qing's business. Kou Zhong sighed, determined to ignore Li Xiuning's affairs, and rushed towards the fort wall.It seems that all the grievances have to be vented on those hapless thieves. The sound of hooves stopped suddenly. Two groups of enemies at the entrance of the village dismounted at the same time and guarded the exit, only more than 20 people entered the village boldly.

Xu Ziling condescendingly looked down, and saw that except for the four men who held the torches and wrapped their heads in white scarves, the other people were dressed in different clothes, and they all had the air of a master, obviously the leaders of bandits. The four people who took the lead were even more prominent in appearance, most likely they were the four notorious bandits who ran rampant along the Yangtze River themselves, and they were between thirty and forty years old. He couldn't help feeling stunned, and thought to himself, no wonder Shang Xiuxun wanted to hide here.All due to intelligence errors, they thought it was just a group of thousands of thieves, but in fact it was the four bandits attacking with all their strength, trying to take the Pegasus Ranch in one fell swoop. The strange thing is that in this time of chaos, why are the four bandits so powerful that they have to know that Shang Xiuxun is here? All the thieves stood in the village, one of the four leaders laughed and said: "I gave me the nickname 'No Grass Grows' to Ba Tian, ​​my joke-loving friends in the world, because I didn't know me well, so I misunderstood me." .In fact, I am a person who loves and cherishes flowers. If the business owners don’t believe it, just try to commit yourself to yourself for three days, and I promise to come out and correct this utterly wrong idea of ​​the world.” The other thieves burst into laughter immediately, full of obscenity. Xiang Batian's appearance is really unflattering. He is a fat man with short stature, short hands and feet, a swollen belly, and a flat head that seems to grow directly from his fat shoulders. . But the pair of eyes that seem to be squinted forever are sparkling, and they also have a strange blue light, which makes people know that he is not only a master with superb internal skills, but also walks an evil path. In each of his hands, he held a gleaming silver steel ring full of sharp teeth, making him even more dangerous and mysterious. I don't know how many people have hated him under this pair of "death rings". Xu Ziling, who was lying on the back of the tile, felt a strong murderous intent that he could not understand.After thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was because of his words that insulted Shang Xiuxun. The thick and strong man next to Batian, with two maces crossed on his back, his face swollen with meat, and a tumor on his forehead that made him look even uglier, laughed wildly: "The owner of the field played recklessly, and the defeat is already over." Yes, but if you are willing to commit yourself to serve us and become a family in bed, then naturally everything can be discussed." The words were even more obscene. The thieves laughed obscenely again, full of pride. Xu Ziling suddenly thought about the traitor. If there were no traitors playing tricks, how would the thieves know Shang Xiuxun's whereabouts, and with the strength of the Pegasus Ranch, they would never have fallen into such a beaten field in an instant. However, as long as the ranch can hold the gorge on both sides, it is still not a real defeat. Another Kou Shou smiled sadly and said: "What a family in bed. Brother Fang's suggestion is amazing. It's just that the owner of the mall is a girl of Huanghua, even if she is very willing in her heart, but in front of so many people, it will naturally come true." The face is tender and shy, and I can't speak! Do you think that I, Mao Zao, have a thorough understanding of the psychology of my daughter's family?" This person was tall and thin, with the appearance of a wicked scholar, with a pair of mustaches on his lips, a dust whisk stuck on his back, and he was dressed in a nondescript manner.Just looking at his appearance, he would never guess that he is Mao Zao, the second-ranked "Scorched Earth Thousand Miles" among the Four Bandits. Since the big man with sarcoma on his forehead who spoke earlier was called his third younger brother, he should be Fang Jianding, who was called "the chicken and the dog don't leave behind". Xu Ziling paid special attention to Cao Yinglong, who hadn't spoken yet and was supposed to be the leader of the "Ghost Weeping God" of the Four Bandits. This man has a majestic figure, with a pair of big ears for driving, deep wrinkles on his forehead, high cheekbones and sunken cheeks, eyes that seem to be open or closed, giving people a deep impression of Chengfu.But his appearance is not as annoying as the other three, a bit like an old pedant who doesn't like to talk. In his left hand, he held a spear made of fine steel, which seemed to weigh at least forty or fifty catties. "Ding!" He raised his left and right hands to Batian, knocked the life-threatening gear rings together and made a clear and crisp sound. More than a dozen men behind him rushed out from left to right and searched the house one by one. Some people also jumped on the roof for surveillance. The voices sounded in succession. Xu Ziling's murderous intent grew stronger in his heart, and he secretly concentrated his skills. Kou Zhong sneaked out of the inner castle with the help of divine escape, ran across the house, and plundered towards the outer city wall.When I saw Yuan'er and the courtyard of the ghost meeting last night, my heart moved and I turned inside. The voice came faintly from the main house, but no lights came out. Kou Zhongfu was lying in the garden, after a very conflicting struggle in his heart, he still couldn't help touching it, jumped onto a tree next to the main house, and looked in through the window. From this angle, I happened to see the adulterer and another man who met Yuan'er that night, sitting in a chair by the window facing other people out of sight, and the sound should not be less than ten personal. Kou Zhong learned the lesson from the last trip, knowing that this adulterer's kung fu is extremely powerful, so he hastened to activate the inner breath of the Longevity Art, and at the same time restrain the light of his eyes. Only someone said: "The most brilliant part of our whole plan this time is the internal and external cooperation to catch it by surprise. And there is a young master who is secretly presiding over it, so I don't have to worry about the Pegasus Ranch." The adulterer laughed and said, "Teacher Chen, please don't praise me. I, Li Tianfan, are just a young man waving the flag and shouting. The one who holds the big flag still has to rely on Military Division Shen." Kou Zhong immediately felt his scalp tingle, and only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter. Shen Junshi is naturally Shen Luoyan, and Li Tianfan is Li Mi's son.He also has a marriage contract with Song Yuzhi.Just from the fact that the two of them are sitting opposite each other, it has been strongly and powerfully explained that Li Mi will spare no effort to seize the Pegasus Ranch to deal with Li Xiuning. Sure enough, Shen Luoyan's coquettish voice came from the house: "Young master is too humble! Luoyan is ashamed. Now that just passed the Hai, Shang Xiuxun should have become a fish in Cao's net, and the side of the inner castle should also There is movement." Li Tianfan smiled and said: "Shang Xiuxun has always admired himself and never put people in the world in his eyes. In terms of intelligence, he is as good as Shen Junshi. Why don't Shen Junshi report to you in detail while there is still some time?" Fitting details." This person speaks decently, showing that the tiger father really has no dogs, and he is a figure who can lead the group. Kou Zhong is thinking about whether he should assassinate this son, if he can succeed, then Song Yuzhi's marriage contract can be declared over immediately.Otherwise, if Li Mi conquers Luoyang, Song Yu will even marry into the Li family. He has already lost Li Xiuning, and if even Song Yuzhi were to marry someone else, the Song Clan and Li Mi would become family members. In public and private affairs, Kou Zhong would not be able to bear the blow. Thinking of this, my heart warms up, but my mind is as calm as ice. The most important thing now is to find out the strength of everyone in the room, but Shen Luoyan is not easy to deal with, let alone Li Tianfan is not easy to get along with, if he is not careful, he may be angry with him. well!It would be great if Xiaoling was here, now I just hope that he can be a hero to save the beauty, if he can easily win her heart, that would be the most ideal. "boom!" The wooden door burst. A big man broke into the big house where Shang Xiuxun was hiding.Xu Ziling was ready to wait, as long as the four bandits made a slight move towards Shang Xiuxun, it would be the moment for him to make a move. Sure enough, the four bandits showed surprise, turned their heads to look at the house that entered back and forth, but it was not because there was any special sound, but because there was no sound in the house, not even the sound of footsteps. This is completely unreasonable. The person who entered the house was not mediocre, even if he met the entire Pegasus Ranch inside the house, he was not so helpless that he was dealt with before he delivered a move. Xu Ziling also forgot to make a move because of the surprise in his heart. Cao Yinglong, who had been silent all this time, said coldly: "Come here! I'll smash the whole house to pieces." The bandits behind him should be vigorous and dispatched in an empty group. The bandits and masters on the eaves near and far also focused their attention here, and everyone held up their torches, lighting up the whole village in flames. Fang Jian Ding let out a stern shout, and came out out of the crowd, rushed up the stone steps like a gust of wind, and printed his palms on the wall next to the door. At the beginning, the walls were fine, then the eaves above trembled like trembling, and then the whole wall was torn apart and slumped inwards. When the hall was slightly exposed, it was covered by the fallen tiles and dust from the eaves. All the bandits cheered in unison, and rushed towards the poor house that had become their prey like a group of beasts smelling blood. Xu Ziling saw that Fangjian Ding's palms were so strong, if he used the two maces behind his back, he might have swept away thousands of troops, which aroused his high fighting spirit. At this time, the wind rang from the roof of the house on the left, and the masters of the bandits rushed towards his hiding place. Xu Ziling sighed secretly, temporarily put aside his intention to assassinate the bandit leader, and quickly inspected the places for hiding far and near. In the garden on the side of the house where the afterglow of the torch could not be seen, there was a small brick house with a size of two feet square, which seemed to be a small warehouse for storing sundries. The wooden door opened in response to the hand, but before I could see clearly, the slight sound of the engine shutting down came from the ground. Since the sound of demolition of the house outside was constantly ringing, it completely covered other sounds, so people might not hear it. Xu Ziling hurriedly closed the door, and the hut was indeed full of farming tools, and in the middle of the room, a floor slowly sank, revealing a deep tunnel. Xu Ziling immediately thought of Lu Miaozi, the master's number one craftsman. Shen Luoyan was about to speak, when the sound of birdsong could be heard from the roof in the distance, Li Tianfan immediately said: "Li Xiuning was tricked, everything is going according to plan." Knowing that they received the signal from Yuan'er from the inner castle, Kou Zhong couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. Can I really ignore Li Xiuning's safety? What's more, this matter is directly related to the struggle for world hegemony!
