Chapter 176 How is this possible! (2-in-1)
"White dove."
Zhao Jilian moved lightly, yawned, and walked up to the armored woman. She took the white dove from the armored woman's hand, combed the dove's feathers carelessly, and walked back to the bed.
"Zhao Gao can't be trusted anymore, you should know."
"This is what Wei Liao borrowed from Zhao Gao."
Zhao Ji paused in her steps, stopped stroking the pigeons, turned her back to the Iron Masked Girl and said, "Wei Liao... you can give it a try. How do you find the vertical zither?"
"Wei Liao asserted that Lord Chang'an will definitely go out of the city to intercept and kill his people. There is already a curfew at this moment, and Lord Chang'an will not be able to return home openly. I am near the Lord Chang'an's mansion, looking for people with high martial arts skills."
Zhao Ji ran her slender fingers across the pigeon feathers and pondered for a moment.
"Can."
After Zhao Ji agreed, the Iron Masked Girl clasped her fists in salute and opened the door to change into her night clothes.
The door opens.
The Iron Masked Woman appears.
A maid came in.
The maid walked to Zhao Ji, bowed first, and then said: "The Queen Mother has returned to Xianyang for the first time. It is not appropriate to make too many arrangements, so as not to offend Your Majesty. I wonder where the Yue girl went when she left the palace late at night?"
"Go kill that guy."
Zhao Ji said casually.
The maid was frightened when she heard this.
If the Empress Dowager Zhao didn't mention her by name, there was only one person.
Chang'an Jun, Ying Chenglong.
The maid hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty and Lord Chang'an have a deep relationship. If Yue Nu does not fulfill the Queen Mother's wish, the situation may not be acceptable to the Queen Mother."
"The Yue girl has never lost her hand. When it comes to martial arts and assassination, the Yue girl has never lost."
Zhao Ji smiled confidently.
"There are only two kinds of swords in the world, one is the Yue Nv sword, and the other is other swords. The sword master Gai Nie who is favored by Zheng'er is said to be the best sword in the world, but he has never been compared with the Yue Nv. In No one is worthy of wielding a sword in front of a Yue girl."
…
Xianyang City at night.
As lonely as ever.
Except for the city defense troops who were assigned to patrol at night, it was difficult to see a living person on the streets of Xianyang that extended in all directions.
Standing outside Xianyang City, no matter which direction you look in, you can only see a tall and mottled blue brick city wall. Standing in the dark, the city wall looks like a tall tombstone.
In this city surrounded by tombstones, Ying Chengyu skillfully avoided the patrolling city defense troops.
He could always hide in the shadow of the corner of the house, in the dense canopy of the old tree, the second before the city defense troops arrived.
Or just like those flower-picking thieves and assassin rangers, they hide in the old-fashioned way on the rooftops mostly made of bluestone in Xianyang City.
He could have walked with swagger, but he didn't.
Having a peerless martial arts without using it is even more uncomfortable than walking at night in brocade clothes.
After all, his peerless martial arts was hard-earned.
Moreover, because of the curfew, the secret guards were unable to enter the city and follow him around. Therefore, there was no need to worry about his personal image. At this moment, Ying Chengyu completely let himself go.
In the darkness, Ying Cheng is as nimble as a civet cat and leaps like a spiritual ape. Under the cover of night, he looks more like a ghost than a ghost.
In this way, he escaped more than a dozen waves of patrolling city defense troops, and was only halfway to the Chang'an Lord's Mansion.
Another group of city defense troops passed by nearby. Ying Chengyu jumped up to the roof tiles of the nearest house and lay there with his whole body, holding his breath.
The prone position can minimize his body exposure, and holding his breath is a basic operation to avoid officers and soldiers.
He looked directly at Qingwa to avoid attracting the attention of some freaks with extremely strong instincts.
Ying Chengyu only observed the movements of the city defense troops from the corner of his eyes, waiting for the city defense troops to leave.
Soon, this group of city defense troops disappeared from Ying Chengyu's sight.
The once extremely clear footsteps were almost inaudible, confirming that the city defense army had gone far.
Ying Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief.
When you release the breath you have been holding, your mind will naturally relax. This is human instinct.
Suddenly, a tremor came from the backbone where the back of the neck was attached to the back, and a strong sense of crisis exploded behind Ying Chengyu.
The feeling of horror is like asking a goddess to watch a movie for the first time. Bravely holding her hand when the movie is dark, but having both parents in front of you after the movie lights up.
Ying Chengyu didn't care whether he would attract the city defense troops who hadn't gone very far.
Adrenaline burst out all over his body, and he launched his legs vigorously, soaring straight into the sky like a flying monkey.
Touch ~
The bricks and tiles are all broken.
Debris from the eaves fell into people's homes below, awakening people who were sleeping soundly.
Although it is a taboo in martial arts competitions to keep your feet off the ground because you cannot use force while in the air.
But this action can get Ying Chengyu out of this situation the fastest. On the line between life and death, Ying Chengyu has no time to weigh so many pros and cons, so he can only act according to his instinct.
"roll!"
At the same time, he gathered all his energy on the tip of his tongue, and his internal energy spurted from his Dantian and flowed through his eight extraordinary meridians throughout his body. He combined his internal and external forces to drink out the word that contained the greatest power in the first half of his life.
Across the roof, the people who had just been awakened by the falling tiles on the roof were all stunned by this word, their ears were ringing, and their heads were dizzy and they fell down.
Saying the word "get out" is the fastest counterattack that Ying Chengyu can make.
Huh~
But the roar that could stun ordinary people was unable to disperse the ethereal sword light.
The long sword two fingers wide reflected the moonlight and shone in Ying Chengyu's eyes.
Then the sword seized the right moment, like a monkey holding on to a vine branch and swinging up to the sky, and rushed towards Ying Cheng's dragon-faced door.
Ying Chengyu overcame his physiological reaction and did not blink.
Physiology is not worth mentioning in front of life.
Ying Chengyu squinted his eyes and looked at the attacker in front of him. He took out the Qin sword from his waist and held it with both hands. The veins in his hands were like loaches.
The biceps of his arms were bulging, his energy and blood surged wildly, and he quickly drew a large circle in the air with his Qin sword.
No matter where the sword pokes from or how it strikes, it will eventually collide with the Qin sword in Ying Chengyu's hand.
The attacker was wearing black night clothes, and his face was covered with a black cloth so that his face could not be seen.
Seeing how Ying Chengyu responded, a sarcastic look flashed in his eyes.
He didn't predict it. It seemed that his martial arts skills were not as high as rumored!
Cha~
The two swords intersect.
Ying Chengyu felt a huge force coming from his sword.
He did not use the huge force, but used this huge force to move a large distance in the air, and continued to fly out at a high speed.
The attacker looked at Ying Chengyu who was walking away in disbelief. The sword in her hand had no tip, and the tip separated from the sword body and collapsed into the distance.
how so?
This sword is made of meteorite iron, how could it be cut off?
The attacker couldn't accept it, his eyes were filled with countless doubts and confusion.
Her sword is broken.
How can a broken sword kill an enemy?
There was no time to think about what happened.
The attacker rushed up, holding a broken sword in his hand. His power was not less than fierce from beginning to end. He chased Ying Chengyu with a flurry of sword light.
Every time the long sword pokes out, it is like a poisonous snake that has been preparing for a long time, opening its bloodthirsty fangs to bite the prey to death.
Ying Chengyu, who landed on the ground, was beaten and could only parry, but had no power to fight back.
However, there was no trace of panic on Ying Chengyu's face.
He has a new trick and he eats it all over the world.
Seeing that the attacker's weapons were inferior to his own, he was holding a sword and kept drawing circles in front of him, which looked extremely funny.
The attackers clearly attacked with great force and took all the points, but they were extremely furious.
Every time she attacks, a section of the sword in her hand will be cut off.
The first sword becomes a long sword, after ten swords it becomes a short sword, and after twenty swords it becomes a dagger.
It was clear that her martial arts skills were far superior to Ying Chengyu's, but she was unable to attack him for a long time because of the disadvantages of the weapons. She was so angry that the tight belt on her chest was about to burst.
But if it goes on like this, is this still an assassination?
She is the attacker, and every move of chopping, slashing, and stabbing requires a huge amount of energy.
Ying Chengyu is the defender, so he only needs to draw a circle with his sword.
In terms of consumption, she is much larger than Ying Chengyu.
When no one is disturbing you, your energy will be exhausted if you don't drink even half a cup of tea.
Martial arts masters are not perpetual motion machines, they will lose their internal strength and they will also get tired.
That kind of situation where there is no winner after three days and three nights will never happen, unless they compete in a rock-paper-scissors format.
In most real fights, the winner can only be determined in an instant, and the longest one lasts no more than a cup of tea.
But this is Xianyang City, or Xianyang City under curfew.
The fight between the two was as eye-catching as an open fire in a cemetery.
The group of city defense troops who had just turned around immediately turned around and rushed towards this side in complete formation.
All of them were attentive, with serious expressions on their faces. They clenched the bronze Changge in their hands. Their pace did not speed up because they heard something unusual, but maintained a constant speed.
Although this speed is a bit slower, it allows them to maintain their highest combat effectiveness.
Tap tap tap tap ~
The overall sound of footsteps is like the sound of war drums on the battlefield, indicating the fight between the two sides after they meet.
When ~
The crisp, loud, and harsh metal collision sound spread far and wide in Xianyang City.
That's when the city defense army, which was heading towards Ying Chengyu, the attackers, rang the bell.
In the Qin Dynasty, when there were no modern devices such as mobile phones and pagers, the city defense army used this method to gather their companions and encircle and suppress those who violated the curfew.
Ding~
Ding~
Ding~
Three bells sounded.
This means that three teams of city defense troops have heard the signal and are coming here.
The leader of each team of city defense troops patrolling at night will carry two bells, one big bell and one small bell.
The city defense troops who first discover the enemy's situation ring the big bell. The city defense troops who hear the big bell should immediately gather in the direction of the sound source and ring the small bell in response.
The clear ringing of the bell could travel far in the night, enough to be heard by a city defense soldier a street away.
Outside Hangu Pass, Qin's control was extremely weak, just in name.
In Hangu Pass, Qin's control was extremely strong and there were no blind spots.
Four teams of city defense troops were rushing towards the two men who were fighting. These Qin army warriors who had fought bloody battles on the battlefield were all good at forming battle formations.
Anyone, no matter how powerful their martial arts skills are, will only die if they are caught in a battle.
…
At the scene, when the sword in the attacker's hand was cut into half, she had already changed her tactics.
She leaned forward, ready to stab or chop at any time, but she refused to draw her sword.
If she draws her sword again, she will have no sword left.
She just suppressed Ying Chengyun, waiting for the opportunity, waiting for Ying Chengyun to relax, and then killed him with one strike!
Ying Chengyu was locked by his aura. Although he knew what the attacker had in mind, he didn't care at all.
A cup of tea is ten minutes, and half a cup of tea is five minutes.
Although my martial arts skills are not as good as those of the other party, it is not that easy for the other party to succeed.
Tap tap tap tap ~
The nearest city defense force had already appeared in their sight.
The attacker jumped up and changed the direction of attack, forcing Ying Chengyu to stay away from the pursuing city defenders.
Ying Chengyu didn't want to do what the attacker wanted, so he began to try to fight back.
Ying Chengyu's change of tactics, coupled with the attacker's calmness and increased concentration, discovered Ying Chengyu's intention and shook his hand with a jab.
Cha~
An inch of the sword was cut off and flew away.
Ying Chengyu was startled, and his somewhat relaxed mind reached its peak again.
The section of the attacker's sword that was cut off before was less than half an inch long, which meant that the attacker was intercepted by him as soon as he thrust the sword over.
The longer the sword section is cut, the longer the sword can break through Ying Chengyu's defense, which means the greater the chance of being stabbed.
We can't keep playing like this.
At this moment, Ying Chengyu made a decision in his heart.
And I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Ying Chengyu felt that the speed of this city defense force seemed to have slowed down.
Immediately, Ying Chengyu opened his voice and roared: "Why are you still dawdling? Run faster!"
"it's useless."
The attacker spoke the first words of the battle with Ying Chengyu, his voice was clear and cold.
Grass! Why is it a woman?
The only thing more embarrassing than beating a woman is not being able to beat a woman!
I can't let that boy Ying En know that I can't beat this woman!
When Ying Chengyu heard the attacker speak, the face of Qin's fourth master, Ying En, suddenly flashed in his mind.
His mind wandered, and there were small flaws in his defense.
Cha~
Another inch of the sword flew out, and Ying Chengyu was shocked again when he saw that there was at least five inches of broken sword left in the attacker's hand.
Why should I improve Qin Jian and make it one meter?
Just let it be the same as those swords from the Six Kingdoms, which are more than 60 centimeters, and now it will be fine!
"This speed can preserve the highest combat power of the city defense army. They will only come here at this speed. Everyone cherishes their lives. Within the scope of Qin's laws, do you think they will speed up and risk their lives with reduced combat power to save this shame of Qin? Huh?"
"If you were in another country, your status as a royal relative would still be of some use. If these city defense troops don't save a royal relative, they will die if they turn back. But now, I'm afraid the other party doesn't know your identity, and based on your reputation in Qin, it is estimated that No one will fight for a fool like you."
"Besides, Qin Law has no privileges for you. These city defense troops will not be punished if they don't speed up. Stop struggling in vain. If you die, the whole world will be happy."
"I love your mother!" Ying Chengyu uttered a curse word, and at the same time, he cursed the eighteenth generation of the attacker's ancestors in his heart.
Tap tap tap tap ~
This team of city defense troops had already seen the figures of the two men.
At the same time, I also learned that the two were highly skilled in martial arts.
The leading city defense army whispered: "Slowly advance, these two people are not something that our team can handle. Just follow them."
This group of city defense troops slowed down at the same time in tacit understanding, and their footsteps were still rhythmic.
The ants are still trying to survive, so how can they risk their lives?
If you get dozens of kilo of grain a year, what kind of fate are you risking?
Those people with gushing blood and the courage to fight for the lead cannot even compete with the city defense army.
Either he died on a battlefield littered with corpses, or he died under the cold laws of Qin.
"Why are you still dawdling? Run faster!"
The roaring sound reached the ears of the city defense army. The leading city defense army chuckled and did not say anything about speeding up - he was responsible for the brothers around him.
If I had known this, I would have just stayed at home. Anyone who offended Qin's laws should die.
"Boss, it's Lord Chang'an who's calling for help."
A city defense force in the third position suddenly said.
The face of the leading city defense force changed, and he quickly said while running: "Are you sure?"
"Confirmed. When the Queen Mother returned to Xianyang, I stood at the front and heard the voice of Lord Chang'an with my own ears."
The leading city defense force stared, and shouted in a deep voice: "Go forward at full speed!"
Tap tap tap tap tap tap~
The originally regular footsteps suddenly changed, and the frequency increased significantly by more than five times!
And it's a bit messy, which means that these city defense troops have no regard for formation and only seek speed!
The face of the attacker who kept pressing Ying Chengyu changed under the black veil.
He glanced at the city defense troops who were rushing towards us as fast as possible, his beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
How can this be?
Why do they speed up?
Do they want their lives?
At this speed, no matter how hard she forced Ying Chengyu, she would not be able to kill him before the city defense troops arrived.
Once she is entangled by the city defense troops, what awaits her will be endless waves of city defense troops.
If time goes on, there will be more secret guards who only walk in the dark and have high martial arts skills.
Seeing that nothing could be done, the attacker dodged and left.
A sword suddenly struck her vertically. She easily dodged it, but her face became even more ugly.
"Don't leave, beauty. Come back to Chang'an Jun's Mansion with me, and we'll continue fighting on the bed."
Ying Cheng's sentence was very frivolous and his tone was very wanton.
But the attacker could clearly see that Ying Chengyu, who was blocking her in front of her and not letting her leave, had ice-cold eyes!
The attacker felt very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
After thinking about it for a moment, she suddenly woke up.
This look is exactly the same as when I killed the green child...
