Chapter 67: Burn ***
The sun sets in the west, emitting a brilliant yellow light. That light has infinite magic power, soaking the clouds in the sky into a noble brocade, dyeing the distant mountain peaks with a beautiful and dazzling golden edge, The slightly cold lake water reflects the sparkling light, which is extremely beautiful.
The poplars and willows all over the lake have already lost all their leaves under the threat of cold wind, leaving only countless bare branches. Although they are still swaying in the cold wind, they still make people feel lifeless.
Just under the willow trees by this lifeless lake, someone was dancing with a sword.
The sword was not very fast, but the energy of the sword was vertical and horizontal, and the surrounding air seemed to be cut through, making it impossible for people to see clearly the appearance and figure of the person wielding the sword. The only thing that could be distinguished was the vague white clothes.
Countless dried leaves, driven by the sword energy, sometimes floated closer and sometimes swayed away, making the already lifeless little lake feel even more desolate and lonely.
After the sword was struck, countless dead leaves scattered with the last sword energy and fell back into the soil, as if the previous dance had never happened.
"Master, you are here" The sword dancer put away her autumn-like sword, turned around and gave a deep salute, and the two shiny black locks followed her movements and quietly slipped down her shoulders. .
"Well, Su Su's sword skills have improved even more than last time." An old man with a wrinkled face but a kind face said with a smile while gently stroking his snow-like beard.
The woman named Su Su raised her mouth slightly, and then raised her head. She saw two picturesque willow-leaf eyebrows on her fair and lusty face, and two eyes as bright as polished gemstones. Revealing an indescribable tenderness and perseverance.
The woman shook her head lightly and said, "Unless you reach that person's level, it's just a small skill"
The wrinkles on the old man's face bloomed gently, and he smiled like the sun: "If even Su Su's sword skills are just mediocre, then I don't know how many people in the world are clowns playing swords. Ha, it seems that that person shouldn't Appearing in front of you, it is a mountain with no summit"
The woman raised her feet to keep up with the old man's pace, shook her head and said with a smile: "Master, you are worrying too much. Su Su is just feeling that the recent changes in the situation have intensified, but she is by no means obsessed with the way of swordsmanship itself."
The old man walked two steps to the lake: "I heard that the Five Dou Taiping Sect has taken action against Liuyun Ranch?"
The woman nodded and said: "Yes, Li Yuan was appointed by Yang Guang a few months ago as Taiyuan's stay-at-home officer. Now that he has grown up, he will begin to face challenges and pressure from all sides. Currently, Liuyun Ranch's war horse reserves are divided into three major ranches. If he can win the crown, it will greatly improve his strength, otherwise he will only have to go back and hug the Turks."
The old man¡¯s eyes dimmed a little, and he sighed slightly: "With internal and external troubles, the Central Plains is in troubled times again According to Susu, can Liuyun Ranch be able to hold on? Will their always neutral attitude change due to this?"
The woman shook her head and said: "If the Five Dou Taiping Sect doesn't have shocking means, Su Su thinks that nothing will happen to Liuyun Ranch. As for the rules of maintaining neutrality, Jin Liuyun personally set them at the beginning. It depends on whether Jin Qiu has the courage to change them. .¡±
The old man nodded, looking at the sunset gradually sinking into the distant mountains thoughtfully, and after a long time he sighed: "Nowadays, various methods are being used in various ways, and the changes are really unpredictable. The burden on Su Su's shoulders is very heavy. "
The woman nodded and smiled: "Let me worry about it, Master. But since Su Su chose this path in the first place, she naturally knows how difficult it will be ahead. Now these are nothing."
The old man nodded and twirled his beard and said, "I know Su Su's perseverance best, but I also need to know how to relax."
The woman pursed her lips and smiled and said, "That's why Su Su ran to the lake to dance with her sword."
The old man laughed out loud and said: "Speaking of sword dancing, I suddenly felt that Su Su might be the key to breaking through this deadlock. The way things turn around is really dazzling."
The corners of the woman's mouth were raised high, and her smile was as bright as the sun.
The old man nodded and smiled: "I heard that the boy you found has passed the tests of martial arts and art of war?"
The woman smiled and said: "Well, the test of Shu Wen Zhi Lue will have to wait for you to personally take action."
The old man twirled his beard and laughed and said: "Okay, I will have a good talk with him tomorrow. I hope he can live up to Su Su's expectations"
¡¡
Night finally fell, and the sky and the earth were filled withThe eyes are like those eyes, bright and beautiful.
After nightfall, torches were lit in the thief's camp. Looking from a distance, the entire camp looked like a maze of light and dark, giving off an indescribable and mysterious atmosphere.
"Peng Camp" was well-disciplined during the day. At night, the thieves who were not elites finally began to relax, causing more loopholes in the camp.
Xiang Xun and Li Jing got a set of thieves' clothes somewhere, tied black scarves on their heads, and took advantage of the darkness to sneak into "Peng Camp".
Because the exit of Liuyun Ranch was tightly blocked by these two groups of thieves, the important news could not be passed in, so they had no choice but to take the risk and sneak into the thieves' camp, hoping to find out where the vicious firearms were. Of course, If it could be destroyed directly, it would be the best thing.
"Stop command." As the two of them were walking westward in the middle of the camp, they were finally stopped by a patrol team. The captain sat on his horse and asked coldly.
"The clouds will fall," Li Jing quickly replied, pretending to be panicked.
"Huh, that's the command during the day, but what about the command at night?" Under the light of the fire, the captain's eyes flashed with confusion.
Xiang Xun scratched his head and said with a smile: "Hey, brother, we brothers were ordered to find some property and food during the day. No, we just came back. We can't find our team at the moment, let alone the password for the night."
"Oh? What about the food?" the captain asked reluctantly.
Xiang Xun chuckled and said: "We have all been sent to the baggage department by several other brothers. Who will come back carrying two bags of rice? Wouldn't it be exhausting to death? Those who don't know think that we haven't filled our stomachs. Who would be willing to go out and sweep in the future?¡±
A group of thieves burst into laughter, and the captain also laughed and said: "There is no food, propertyhey, there must be some, right?"
Xiang Xun cursed secretly in his heart. This guy had been struggling for a long time. It turned out to be just for this. He quickly took out a few pieces of silver from his arms, handed them to the captain and said, "Oh, to tell you the truth, those villages actually don't have any." No matter how much oil and water you have, I will share half of it when we meet, and we will make wine for you and your brothers."
The captain took the silver, weighed it, and then put it into his arms with satisfaction. He nodded and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, very good. Remember it carefully. The password tonight is 'Burn him*'" *', ha" After saying that, he took the patrolling thieves and went looking elsewhere.
When they were far away, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Xiang Xun laughed dumbly and said, "Burning his a**? I don't know who came up with the password. Ha, I laughed to death"
Li Jing was too lazy to pay attention to the guy's ridicule to the thieves. He shook his head and frowned: "Did you feel that something was wrong with the patrol captain just now?"
"Something's wrong? Ah, second brother means that he forgot to ask where our main team is? Hey, I think he probably forgot. Let's go, why bother paying so much attention to him? It's more serious to find the whereabouts of the firearm quickly." Xiang Xun waved his hand and smiled.
Li Jing turned to look at the direction the captain had left, then turned around and continued to explore forward with Xiang Xun. Finally, after walking around for more than two quarters of an hour, he found a place guarded by heavy troops.
After the two observed carefully from a distance for a while, they finally determined that the two piles of things covered with black cloth should be the firearms used by Peng Ge to attack the ranch.
"It must be this place, but the thieves' guards are too tight. According to this attitude, no matter how close we are, we will be discovered." Li Jing looked at the guards intently and whispered.
Xiang Xun nodded, held his chin and thought: "This really won't work. We have to think of a way to lure these thieves away. Tsk, it's really difficult to do. Since these people have heavy responsibilities, they can't just take it easy." I won¡¯t leave¡¡±
At this moment, Li Jing suddenly whispered: "Did you hear anything?"
Xiang Xun had already put his face to the ground and whispered in surprise: "Whose men and horses could they be? They seem to be riding two or three hundred people."
In just the blink of an eye, the deafening sound of horse hooves came from behind the "Peng Camp". The sound of hooves at night was like thunder, piercing the still peaceful night sky, and the earth began to rumble and tremble.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack," several thieves shouted loudly.
"What the hell are you afraid of? If they want to charge into the stronghold from behind, aren't they seeking death? The fence there is not a vegetarian one," one of the thieves said with experience.
"Rumble" The iron hooves approached the camp quickly, and they were about to hit the fence as thick as an arm. Suddenly, the extremely strong fence collapsed five feet long, and the iron horse rushed into "Peng" like a whirlwind without stopping. "camp"
Unexpected, absolutely unexpected. How is this possible?
Even Li Jing and Xiang Xun opened their mouths, unable to believe the facts in front of them. Unless they were fools, who would believe that this was a coincidence?
"Who the hell made that fence?" a thief yelled.
¡°Can¡¯t the fool see that they have an inside job?¡± Another thief cursed angrily.
"What are you doing standing still? Give them all to the **** guy," a thief who looked like a captain shouted angrily while wielding a sword with a ghost head.
superior? Who's on? There was no need for them to rush forward, but the cavalry that suddenly came out of the night rushed in front of them like a strong wind.
The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the steel sword was like snow. The thieves were instantly killed. The situation was completely one-sided. It can be said with certainty that this was a killing without any confrontation. Falling, hot blood burst into the pitch-black night, as if dyeing the night red.
The thieves were completely vulnerable to the impact of these cavalry. In a short time, there were dead and injured everywhere. While the knights on horseback rushed to kill, they picked up the torches in the camp and threw them on things that could burn. The flames All around
Just as the cavalry were charging forward with great speed, they suddenly found that there was no one in front of them. Before they could react, a sharp sound of cracking through the air was heard.
But it was unknown which bandit leader temporarily organized a counterattack, which immediately caused more than ten casualties to the raiding cavalry. However, this blow did not make the knights pause or hesitate at all. The knight shouted: "Points"
The whole team was immediately divided into three, like three angry subway dragons, strangled forward and killed the thieves until the counterattack that the thieves finally organized was immediately rushed to pieces
"What a God-given opportunity!" Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Jing shouted, pulled Xiang Xun and dived towards the place where the firearms were piled.
Under the surprise attack of these knights, the thieves guarding the firearms also looked at that place steadily. The palms of their hands holding the weapons began to sweat, and the nervousness filled their hearts instantly. They did not realize that there were two " "Brother" sneaked close by.
Li Jing and Xiang Xun each pulled a burning torch, and fiercely sent their true energy into the torch. The "Peng" torch was thrown into the firearm, and suddenly a cloud of fire exploded, and the black cloth covering the door was covered with firearms. burning
¡°Assholes, what are you doing?¡±
The guards who were looking nervously at the thieves in the distance were suddenly shocked. They did not expect that such a thing would happen. They ignored the fighting in the distance and rushed toward the two of them.
However, before they could get close, two piles of firearms suddenly exploded violently.
In an instant, countless firearms flew sideways, some went straight into the night sky, and dazzling flames shot into the sky, beautiful and deadly.
Roars and screams came and went, and thick smoke billowed endlessly
Many thieves who got too close were killed directly, or were knocked unconscious by poisonous smoke, and the scene was chaotic.
However, there were a lot of thieves guarding the firearms, more than a hundred of them. When they saw the firearms being burned, they suddenly became sad and angry, and shouted and surrounded and killed the two people.
In just a blink of an eye, Xiang Xun and Li Jing were surrounded. However, the two did not flinch at all in this predicament. They handed each other's backs, and the swords and guns in their hands danced wildly. In the blink of an eye, they drank in the thieves' power. their blood.
However, the bravery of the two men did not scare off the thieves. Instead, they aroused their ferocity. They pounced on them one by one regardless of life and death, and soon caused a lot of damage to the two men.
Just as the two were gradually falling into a fierce struggle, more than a hundred riders rushed over like a whirlwind and killed the thieves without any explanation. Endless fear finally took over the minds of the thieves, and they ignored the two people and fled in all directions
"Uncle Dai?" Xiang Xun's eyes lit up, he pulled off the black scarf on his head and laughed.
"It's you two." It turns out that the leading knight is none other than Dai Chaozong, who left the small town a few days ago.
"It's not a good place to stay here for a long time, let's go quickly," Dai Chaozong said. Before he could finish his words, he saw two unrided horses galloping from the darkness on the side. The two of them didn't say much, and immediately jumped on their horses. Follow them and rush out together.
They had just withdrawn from the "Peng Camp", and the other two groups of knights also rushed out, but not far behind them, followed closely by a group of hundreds of traitor cavalry.
"Drive" the horses galloping wildly in the night. The horses of Dai Chaozong and others had already gone through a charge, but at this time, the thieves behind them were actually thrown farther and farther away, which is enough to show the excellence of Liuyun Ranch's horses.
The war horses entered a forest road, and the pursuers behind them suddenly stopped, apparently fearing an ambush.
"heDamn, these guys are really smart enough not to be fooled," a knight said loudly.
"Humph, that guy Peng Ge is famous for being calm and cunning. I would be surprised if he catches up." Another knight said.
Dai Chaozong just shook his head and said nothing. Obviously he didn't have much hope in ambush Peng Ge. Seeing the pursuers retreat, he put his finger in his mouth and made a sharp whistle. Hundreds of people who were ambushing in the forest The knight sighed and walked out of the forest and joined the team. Many people began to complain that they came out tonight for nothing.
"Why are you two guys here?" After everything was settled, Dai Chaozong took the time to talk to the two of them.
Li Jing said: "We followed Xiaoshan's strategy and repelled the attack of the thieves, and then the town recovered. Deacon Zhang and Xiaoshan couldn't leave, and they were worried about what happened to the ranch, so they asked the two of us to come over and take a look. It depends.¡±
Xiang Xun responded: "On the road, we met Peng Ge's thieves. They said that Peng Ge had transported a batch of vicious firearms to deal with the ranch, so the two of us came over in the dark."
Dai Chaozong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You two are really the lucky stars of the ranch. Hey, I didn't expect that the ranch would be in such a dangerous situation, so I was so busy as soon as I came back that I even forgot to spread the news. Back to town."
A knight next to him smiled and said: "Master Dai, let me introduce these two brothers to you later. Two people dared to burn that batch of firearms, which can be regarded as a bold act."
Dai Chaozong was about to answer when he suddenly frowned and said, "Wait a minute, did you follow Xiaoshan's strategy to fight off the thieves?"
Xiang Xun nodded and said, "Yes, is there any problem?"
Dai Chaozong and the knight next to him looked at each other, and both saw the misery in the other's eyes, and then said in pain: "Aren't there any people from the ranch to go back to support the town?"
Li Jing said in shock: "Did the ranch send people back to the town? So"
The face of the knight next to him became extremely ugly and said: "It must be Peng Ge's three hundred brothers. Damn it, next time I will personally cut off Peng Ge's head to avenge Xiao Ji and the others."
Knowing that the more than 300 brothers who came back for reinforcements were most likely killed in an ambush by Peng Ge, everyone's mood suddenly dropped as the sneak attack was successful, and the only sound left in the world was the clatter of horse hooves.
Because they had to return to the pasture through the secret passage, Dai Chaozong apologetically asked the two of them to close their eyes as soon as the team left the woods. However, the two of them didn't care at all. Instead, they understood this move very well.
Everyone walked forward for a while, then turned back to the north. After walking for about ten miles, they finally entered a dense forest. After carefully checking that the marks left had not been damaged, Dai Chaozong opened the secret path. , leading everyone back to the ranch
