Chapter 109 Goodbye Blue Robe Immortal
Chapter 109 Goodbye Blue Robe Immortal
Under the moonlight, the mountains rise and fall.
“Jingjing!”
The sound of hooves is like drums.
In the vast plain, a black mountain range suddenly rose up, with many brown rocks and sparse vegetation.
On the east side of the mountain, there is a mound shaped like a bull's head, with lush trees growing on it.
From a distance, it looks like a green cow lying across the field.
"Xu~"
As the saying goes, "If you run too fast, you'll kill your horse." Qingniu Mountain looked very close, but I ran for a quarter of an hour before I reached the woods near the foot of the mountain. It would take at least another half a quarter of an hour to reach the front of the mountain.
Zhang Yu reined in his horse and looked forward.
Two bodies of Jinyiwei were lying in the woods, with multiple wounds on their bodies. Their necks were broken by stones and they were still bleeding. It was obvious that the fight had taken place not long ago.
"Could it be that the Thousand-Faced Fox stole from the Emperor's inner treasury? Why are the Imperial Guards hunting him down so desperately?"
The Jinyiwei were still in Feilong Inn, discussing the mobilization of troops. Zhang Yu had already set off on horseback and galloped for half an hour. During the journey, he took a long detour as he was unfamiliar with the terrain before he found Qingniu Mountain. He was afraid that Captain Wei had already arrived there first.
"It will be even more troublesome if the follow-up support troops arrive."
"Gee!" Zhang Yu turned his horse's head and continued forward.
There are many small woods in the plains in front of Qingniu Mountain.
He glanced at the horse manure on the ground, followed the trail, and rushed into a forest at the foot of the mountain.
"who!"
"Report your duties."
There were more than thirty horses in the forest. A general flag of the Embroidered Uniform Guard who was guarding the horses heard the approaching hoofbeats. He could not distinguish friend from foe for a moment, so he quickly drew out his embroidered spring sword and took out a flaring arrow from his arms.
"Following the order from the pacification envoy, come to support!"
The general flagman was affiliated with the Thousand Households Mansion and was also an official. A pacification envoy had secretly come to the capital, which was known to only those above the rank of Thousand Households in Guanzhong. But he happened to be on duty at the Thousand Households Mansion and was responsible for receiving visitors, so when he heard the news, he believed it about 60% at once.
"Pacifier? Why is there only one person..."
The white-robed swordsman said nothing, and rode as fast as the wind. He swung his long whip, caught the man's arm, and with a strong effort, the Jinyiwei holding the whistling arrow flew into the air and landed heavily on the ground. The horse's hoof was raised high and landed on the man's chest, which immediately collapsed, splashing a cavity full of blood.
The long whip was swung out again, rolling up the Embroidered Spring Sword. Zhang Yu took it and pulled out half of it, with a murderous look on his face.
"Good knife."
He held the knife in his left hand, placed it horizontally across his crotch, and rode his horse back, cutting all the reins one after another.
"Cha~"
More than thirty horses were frightened and fled in all directions across the field.
Zhang Yu tied his horse to another forest and walked into the mountain...
There are lush trees on Niutou Hill.
Under the starry night, the long sword is like the moon.
More than twenty figures were running fast in the woods.
Wei Tianxing, who was in the lead, had disheveled hair, two cuts on his official robe, two bloody marks on his face, and several vital points on his chest. He was hit by stones one after another by the man, causing him to have difficulty breathing. Fortunately, the force was not great, otherwise he would have been seriously injured if not killed.
The person who could make the garrison commander who had dominated Guanzhong for many years so embarrassed has not appeared for many years.
"Son of a bitch! Who is that monster? He killed more than ten of our brothers like chopping melons and vegetables."
There was obvious fear in the tone of the centurion who spoke.
"If the governor from the capital doesn't tell me, who should I ask?"
Wei Tianxing looked at the centurions he had fought with, and was obviously a little afraid. He sneered.
"That man's sword and hidden weapon skills are rare in the world, but his internal energy is insufficient, and we have crossbows to fight him off. If he recovers, none of us will be able to leave Qingniu Mountain."
Another long-faced centurion said in a trembling voice: "Master Qianhu, this thief is extremely cruel. It will be difficult to capture him alive."
"If we can't capture him alive, then kill him. That's also a great achievement."
Wei Qianxing has lived for sixty years. He has served in both the martial arts world and the imperial court. He has held a high position for many years and has seen countless people. He has a keen sense of smell. Although he does not know the identity of the man he was ordered to hunt down, he is definitely one of the world's top thieves. Moreover, this man should have hidden injuries and cannot exert his full strength.
As the saying goes, just wait for the tiger in the plain, and wait for the dragon in the shallow water.
"Brothers, I have a feeling that this is a big whale. After the mission is accomplished, I will personally go to the capital to ask the commander-in-chief for your contribution."
Wei Tianxing loudly encouraged the morale. Each of these centurions and generals was a veteran. Although they were a little afraid, they were more afraid of the family rules of the Jinyiwei. In addition, the man was indeed at the end of his strength and was tempted by fame and fortune, so the morale was slightly encouraged.
Everyone quickened their pace and rushed towards the north.
Niutou Hill is only this big. After Wei Tianxing and the others chased for four or five miles, they could already see the man in the blue robe in front of them, running for his life. He was obviously injured, and his internal energy was exhausted, so his speed slowed down significantly.
"Surround him!"
Wei Tianxing leaped up, stepped on the tree trunk in midair, and leaped seven or eight feet away, landing in front of the man. The man had no choice but to stop and stand in the woods.
He was wearing a blue robe with a white jade gourd hanging from his waist. There was a deep red spot on his chest where he had been hit by a crossbow arrow from the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth as he looked at Wei Tianxing. The sharpness hidden in his eyes made this captain, who had been in a high position for a long time, feel frightened.
Wei Qianxing secretly wondered who this person with such momentum was.
With his internal energy almost exhausted, he didn't dare to think of dealing with the situation alone, relying only on hidden weapon techniques and swordsmanship.
"Crossbow ready!"
He made a gesture, and more than a dozen Jinyiwei instantly took out crossbows from their waists and aimed at the man in blue robe.
"The Jinyiwei has set up a tight net in Qingniu Mountain. You are already at your wit's end. Why do you still want to resist?"
The man in blue robe didn't say anything, but just looked at Wei Tianxing with a smile. That smile made Wei Tianxing feel a little afraid involuntarily, and he waved his hand.
More than a dozen crossbow arrows shot towards the man in blue robe.
The man rolled up his blue robe and dodged most of the crossbow arrows just by using his body skills. He was only hit by a short arrow in the leg.
"What a brilliant move!"
Although Wei Tianxing had the upper hand, he still felt a little uneasy.
This was when this person had lost his internal strength. It was hard for him to imagine what would happen to him and his people if his internal strength was restored.
Wei Qianhong asked tentatively: "What is your origin?"
"It seems that Wan Chonglou didn't tell you."
The man smiled and suddenly swung his blue robe outwards. More than ten crossbow arrows shot out in all directions. Five or six Jinyiwei were unable to dodge and fell to the ground after being shot.
"What a cruel thief! Brothers, kill him without mercy."
Wei Tianxing was furious. He drew the Embroidered Spring Sword from his waist and slashed forward. The crescent-shaped sword energy lifted up countless fallen leaves and plowed towards the man in blue robe.
"kill!"
Seeing this, the man quickly dodged to the left, and two extremely sharp embroidered spring swords came towards him.
The man in blue robe twisted his body and tried to dodge sideways, but because he used too much force, the wound on his leg that was hit by the arrow flared up, and his legs went limp and he fell to the ground.
"Whizzing!"
At this critical moment, two points of golden light penetrated into the back of the head. The two Jinyiweis shook, the blades fell to the ground, and they fell straight backwards with their mouths half open.
"Who are you? How dare you stop the Royal Guards from arresting the wanted criminal?"
Just when they were about to catch the serious criminal, a man in a white robe and a bamboo hat jumped out from the woods.
Wei Qianxing raised his knife and went forward.
"court death!"
The man drew out a cold blade that was flashing purple light and slashed down diagonally, and the weapons collided.
"What a sharp sword!"
Wei Qianxing's eyes were filled with fear, and the high-quality Xiuchun Knife in his hand broke into two pieces by this blow.
He quickly dropped his knife and leaped back five or six steps, looking very embarrassed.
The purple sword's icy and sharp aura, a few strands of white hair falling from the forehead,
Wei Qianxing's scalp tingled. If he retreated a step too late, he would definitely die under the purple sword.
This move already has about 50% of the charm of Qiao Wuyong's sword move "Moon Sets and Crows Cry".
"Flower Style!"
Without time to think, Zhang Yu casually threw out a bunch of golden needles. The Jinyiwei who were rushing over saw that another hidden weapon expert had arrived and hurriedly retreated. Wei Qianxing, who fell to the ground, was given several needles on his buttocks.
"go!"
Zhang Yu carried the blue-robed man lying on the ground on his back and leaped into the darkness.
The two men ran forward quickly for more than ten miles.
Zhang Yu laughed and said, "Brother Lan, we will meet again in this world. After we parted that day, I never thought we would meet again in Guanzhong."
He originally thought that it was the Jinyiwei who were chasing the 'Thousand-Faced Fox', but he didn't expect that after entering Qingniu Mountain, he found that it was Lan Hao, with whom he had drunk by the Xingxing Creek that day. He couldn't help but feel happy to meet an old friend in a foreign land.
"How did you know I was here!"
The man in blue robe hooked his fingers around Zhang Yu's neck. If he said something wrong, he could be killed in a split second.
He would rather die at the hands of the Jinyiwei than be controlled by others.
What he hated most in his life was not being able to get what he wanted.
