Guan Xiao stood behind the temporary commander of Dongdu with a scimitar in his hand. He had been there since he shot the feather arrow, but the man didn't notice it at all.
When the temporary commander of Dongdu City turned around, he immediately pulled out the Pu Dao from his waist and wanted to confront the man behind him. As a result, Guan Xiao did not give him a chance at all. The figure of the man in white robe in front of him began to become illusory. He Pu Dao When he swung forward, he didn't hit anything. When he saw Guan Xiao's figure again, he was already a white-robed figure picking up the scimitar that had been at his side just now.
Guan Xiao wielded both swords and began to hand them out to the temporary commander of Dongdu. Guan Xiao's method of wielding the swords was extremely mysterious. The two swords struck in different directions, but the blades immediately overlapped and were handed out after swiping. The temporary commander of the capital was unable to defeat the enemy with a single sword. He suddenly shouted loudly and ignored Guan Xiao's slash on his left shoulder, letting his scimitar embed directly into his own flesh and blood.
At the cost of the injury to his left shoulder, he got a chance to get closer to Guan Xiao. He suddenly raised the knife in his right hand and smashed it towards Guan Xiao's door. However, this time it was still the same as before. Guan Xiao in front of him was again It started to become unreal, and his sword missed, but the scimitar on his left shoulder was still there... After the temporary commander of Dongdu drew his sword twice, he seemed to confirm something, and shouted to the empty surroundings: "What on earth are you?" Who! Will make Zhenbei Camp drag the sword skills...".
But before he could finish speaking, Guan Xiao's figure appeared again, and this time it was behind him. Before he could use his sword to block it, the scimitar swiped across the ankle of the temporary commander of Dongdu. The iron armor of his boots cracked, the hamstrings of his feet were picked up, and the temporary commander of Dongdu fell forward.
He stabbed the Pu Dao straight into the ground with his right hand, and then used the force to turn around so that he would not be unable to fight back after falling to the ground. When he turned around and looked behind, he thought Guan Xiao would use the knife again. He tried to strangle himself, but saw the man in white robe walking from his left side, pulling out the scimitar that was originally buried in his left shoulder, and then swung the knife at him again, this time picking up the right hand tendon of the temporary commander of Dongdu. break.
Because there was no strength in his hand, Pu Dao slipped from the palm of his hand and fell to the side of the temporary commander of Dongdu. He already knew in his heart that the man in front of him, who was dressed exactly like Li Yanhe, not only had similar sword skills, but also had the same temperament. He planned to capture himself alive and then ask him something useful.
"My knowledge of swordsmanship is average, and my ability in torture and interrogation. You little boy and that Li Yanhe are quite familiar with the true story of Old General Lu, hahahaha..." The temporary commander of Dongdu had no power to resist, so he could only lie on the ground and laugh out loud. shouted.
Guan Xiao had no expression on his face, and after planning to completely destroy his remaining arm, he went down the mountain to meet everyone at Yijian Villa. Just as he was raising the knife, the temporary commander of Dongdu was laughing wildly, and actually bit him directly. Cutting off his own tongue caught Guan Xiao off guard. He had planned to commit suicide first.
As the temporary commander of Dongdu bit off his tongue, blood gushed out from his mouth and nose like the cold spring whimpering. His face still looked like he was laughing wildly just now, which made the blood flow unstoppable. Coming out of his mouth, even though no human voice could be heard, it still looked like he was laughing crazily.
...With the addition of Li Yanhe, the originally sluggish battle situation at the entrance to the outer city of Dongdu was instantly reversed. He could not help but save Lin Manliu, who was almost hit by surprise, and also saved other disciples from being attacked. In the danger of being besieged by the Dongdu defenders, Li Yanhe took over the command of the boy in a short shirt after using his sword several times, and began to lead the subordinates of Yijian Villa to kill the Dongdu defenders who entered the outer city of Dongdu one by one. After a while, the number of casualties among the defenders of Dongdu began to increase, and the side of Yijian Villa began to fight more and more bravely.
"Man Liu, Zheng Kuan, you two guard the southeast and southwest sides. The other disciples will guard the entrance with me. The ones who sneaked into the alleys earlier will be dealt with by Zheng Kuan and the disciples who turned back. There is no need to worry about Li Yanhe's back." Standing at the entrance to the outer city of Dongdu with a knife, he shouted loudly.
"Yes!" Everyone in Yijian Villa responded in unison.
"Get up!" Li Yanhe shouted softly. The disciples behind him began to find their positions, waiting for the Eastern Capital defenders to rush in. From then on, until the war came to an end, no one from the Eastern Capital defenders entered the outer city of the Eastern Capital.
Zheng Kuan, who was in the alleys, had all dispersed to protect the villagers in the alleys. Occasionally they encountered the Dongdu defenders, and everyone first used weapons to fight against the enemy, and then distanced themselves from the people. After a final inspection, the Eighth Form appeared in his hand, and the buckle was pulled accordingly. A wooden chopstick was shot into the bodies of the Dongdu defenders, and some of the Dongdu defenders who were shot in vital parts were killed on the spot.
Two Dongdu defenders entered the ancestral hall. They slowly opened the door and walked inside. They saw only some chopped-down fragments of tables and chairs, and nothing else. After the two confirmed At this moment, all the villagers suddenly made five voices, aiming at the position of the two Dongdu defenders from around the ancestral hall.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh-" Five arrows made of wooden chopsticks instantly penetrated the bodies of the two Dongdu defenders, and the wooden chopsticks were nailed straight into the stone slabs on the ground with blood.
The sound of horse hooves coming from the northwest gradually reached the well in the middle of the alley and village. The person walking at the front was Mo Zhi. Ever since Zhou Zhou heard the sound of horse hooves, he had been waiting here for a long time to fight with Mo Zhi. After a face-to-face meeting, both of them nodded. Zhou Zhou picked up the long knife and rushed towards Zheng Kuan, preparing to participate in the killing of the Dongdu defenders who broke into the village.
Mo Zhi, on the other hand, led more people to the southern entrance to assist Li Yanhe, Lin Manliu and others. The battle situation at the entrance of the mountain alleys, which was originally in turmoil, began to take on a different shape after the subsequent reinforcements arrived. In a one-sided trend, some Dongdu defenders saw that they were no match for the people in Yijian Villa and began to flee in all directions. Some wanted to run up the hill, and there was a general there who they thought could easily control everyone present.
But when those Dongdu defenders who tried to escape to the mountains saw that the generals in the sun-soldier armor were no longer on the top of the mountains, they were replaced by a man in white robes, wearing the same clothes as the man who had just charged and killed everyone in the formation. The decorations were so similar that the man's face could not be seen clearly in the dark night. Some of the already panicked Dongdu defenders began to shout that the man was a ghost!
Then he immediately turned around and walked down the mountain again, but looking at the entrance of the alley, the man in white robe was still standing there.
The already tense Dongdu defenders had lost their way to escape in such self-fright. Looking at the fellow travelers who had been killed at the foot of the mountain and the white ghosts slowly walking down the mountain, the Dongdu defenders began to double-cross. His legs were shaking constantly, and he could hardly hold the weapons in his hands steadily.
Heartbroken, under such pressure, the Dongdu garrison's spirit began to rise. They waved the long sword in their hands randomly, some slashed into the air, some slashed at the people walking beside them, and they acted randomly in an instant. In order to survive, some people began to strangle all the surrounding Dongdu garrison, and then began to kneel down and beg for mercy to the figure slowly walking down the mountain, telling their story.
"Forced into helplessness". When Guan Xiao walked past the crowd, he didn't reply with a single word. He just waved his scimitar several times. The Dongdu defenders who had tried to run to the mountain bag were all killed by Guan Xiao on the spot.
At this point, the entire night attack on the outer city of Dongdu has basically been completed. Although no one fell down at Yijian Villa, there were many injured and disabled people. The most people were fighting at the entrance. Only Lin Manliu, Li Yanhe, and others were left at the entrance. Guan Xiao and the others, led by Zheng Kuan and Mo Zhi, helped the injured back to the ancestral hall to rest and heal.
"When we were discussing in the evening, we noticed that there was someone lurking nearby. We set up an ambush here today, intending to draw out the mastermind behind the scenes," Li Yanhe was the first to speak up.
"The person in charge today is a Yanyang soldier. I don't recognize him," Guan Xiao said. As soon as he said this, Li Yanhe fell silent. The thing he least wanted to believe happened, soldiers and bandits joined forces... Li Yanhe had no intention of continuing, so Guan Xiao told everything he saw and heard on the top of the mountain. When they came out, it turned out that when the Eastern Capital defenders gathered on the top of the mountain, Guan Xiao was among them.
Whether it was the encouragement between the temporary commander of Dongdu and the defenders of Dongdu, or the conversation between Old Li Tou and the temporary commander of Dongdu, or the inexplicable monologue of the temporary commander of Dongdu, these are all in Guan Xiao's narration, Reappeared in front of the three people.
"With that said, some things make sense... If there are some small and medium-sized robberies and rescues, they are all self-directed and staged between these soldiers and the Dongdu defenders, but their purpose is not just To rob and gain wealth? The strange words the man said before his death don't sound like someone who is greedy for money," Lin Manliu said.
"Indeed, if that person just knew that he couldn't escape and was afraid that we would torture him later, so he bit his tongue and committed suicide, there would be no need for him to say these words before we even confronted each other." Guan Xiao nodded, which made the young man a little bit agitated. Surprised, this was the first time Guan Xiao agreed with his point of view.
Li Yanhe seemed not to want to study the deeper meaning again, so he coughed and said;
"We will discuss this later. I also have something to do. You two can come with me." After saying this, he whistled towards Chunxiang, and soon a horse came rushing from the outer city of Dongdu. The person riding the horse is Li Yanhe's own horse.
There seemed to be something behind the horse. The sky was still a little dark. The young man and Guan Xiao looked closely. There seemed to be a person tied to the horse's back. A young man about the same size as Lin Manliu. Manliu took a closer look, wasn't it Zhou Mo who visited the Starry Temple?
Zhou Mo, who was tied to the horseback, was looking around, at a loss. When he turned to look at Lin Manliu, Li Yanhe, and Guan Xiao, his face was happy at first, and then he started to feel as if he had eaten yellow lotus. Soon he became sad.
When the horse approached Li Yanhe, he caught Zhou Mo, patted the horse's belly, and the horse headed back to the outer city of Dongdu. Li Yanhe easily untied the rope.
"Taoist Master Zhouxiao, it's our first time to meet you, so we're so disappointed!!!" Li Yanhe imitated the way to beat each other.
Zhou Mo rolled his eyes at first, and secretly cursed in his heart, "Caught me directly when we first met?"
Then he could only give Li Yanhe a slap in the face.
"Jushi Lu, now you know that Xiaodao's words are true, right?" Zhou Mo said.
"What Taoist Master Zhouxiao said is indeed effective..." Li Yanhe said.
"Let me introduce Xiaodao again. Xiaodao's name is Shuang Jue. He is a disciple of Star Viewer. He has a certain understanding of the method of deduction. Master Lin also knows the mystery of my deduction." Although Zhou Mo didn't have a whisk or a sword in his hand, he still They were still making gestures on their wrists. This scene made the three of them look a little funny.
Later, under Li Yanhe's introduction, they learned that the second group of disciples were going to meet up with the first group of disciples twenty miles away. After learning that Guan Xiao had confirmed the location of the Dongdu garrison, everyone discussed the time to return. Yes, it was at this moment that I suddenly met this little Taoist priest walking in the mountains.
Li Yanhe was the first to guess his identity and ordered someone to tie him up. However, Zhou Mo shouted at that time that if he did not rush to help quickly, all the remaining disciples would die, and Lin Manliu would be the first to suffer.
As soon as these words came out, Li Yanhe took him back to the outer city of Dongdu, and after entering the alley, he rushed to the south entrance as soon as possible, also because of these words.
"Although the village owner and the disciples in the village won this battle very smoothly, the damage was not small," Zhou Mo said after Li Yanhe and the two explained the reasons for the rescue.
"Indeed, this is what Taoist Master Zhouxiao said. If you have any good ideas, please tell me." Li Yanhe raised his hands and asked.
"Everyone is injured now. If we continue to go to their stronghold, I'm afraid there won't be one out of ten. It's time to rest for a while... After the trail has been calculated, the village owner will be informed..." Zhou Mo called another Taoist leader. , returned the gift to Li Yanhe.
"Then we need to trouble the little Taoist priest and stay in the alleys for a little longer!" Li Yanhe said, and after speaking, he also clasped his fists at Zhou Mo in return.
During the conversation between the two people, Guan Xiao was just beside him as if he didn't hear the conversation at all, while Lin Manliu had an indescribable tangle with the young Taoist priest in front of him, because he felt that this person Even if a person makes friendly suggestions to some people, it does not come from his kindness.
Have a strong purpose? It was as if the things he said were just to achieve a certain goal in his heart... The four of them then returned to the outer city of Dongdu together. On the top of the mountain in the distance, a ray of sun began to rise. They fought fiercely all night. From time to time on the road, there were disciples of Yijian Villa who were cleaning up the corpses in the village and at the entrance. When they saw Li Yanhe and the four of them, they called out to the village master, "Good morning." Li Yanhe raised his hand and pressed down, indicating that they should continue their work.
A group of disciples, headed by Zheng Kuan and Zhou Zhou, went to the door one by one to check whether there were any signs that the Dongdu defenders were hiding. They also appeased the villagers and told them not to go out for the time being. Everyone at Yijian Villa would Clean up here.
