The curved wooden stick in Tuoba Shouji's hand is not an ordinary walking stick, but a famous bow, no.
"Woodworm". This bow looks like a nine-bend Populus euphratica staff, but there is a black iron bow hidden on the inside. After drawing out the bow string, an arrow will fall out when it is tilted forward, sideways, or held horizontally.
He had previously held the wooden staff horizontally, as if he was about to smash it, but this was actually the same posture as holding the wooden stick horizontally. Tuoba Shouji was not an ordinary martial artist. He not only learned martial arts in the Tang Dynasty, but was also familiar with military books and tactics. He was a famous general in the Western Army. Since he had a strategy in mind, how could he not see that Iben was using a feint to defeat? What's the plan?
Tuoba Shouji pretended to pursue him, but he was always careful with his hands. Every time he used his staff, he actually put the wooden bow into a posture that could shoot arrows.
But Iben dodged all the way, and he did not make a move. Until Iben suddenly turned around and attacked, Tuoba Shouji immediately drew out his bowstring and exposed his arrow.
Dugu Xiang once described to Jiang Shuo the power of this magical bow, but Tuoba Shouji shot three arrows at Li Guiren in the Helan Mountains, but he dodged them all, but Li Guiren's skills were so amazing. ?
In fact, ordinary people can't compare, and at this moment, Tuoba Shouji and Iben are only a short distance apart. Tuoba Shouji drew out the arrows without fully drawing the bow. The arrow clusters were only pointed roughly at Iben, and then he immediately released the string.
With a "pop" sound, it shot into Iben's belly. Due to the extremely close distance, the feather arrow shot right through him, leaving only the tail feathers exposed on his front abdomen.
This time, Iben didn't even notice that the falcon was about to fall. He still thrust out the dagger with his right hand, hitting Tuoba Shouji's chest. He heard the sound of gold and iron hitting each other. He was surprised. The dagger slipped and hit Tuoba Shouji in the chest. The white robe on Tuoba Shouji's chest was torn, revealing the dark Tang armor underneath!
Tuoba Shouji was a general of the Tang army, so he was naturally equipped with armor. Although the Mingguang armor was mighty, it was too flamboyant and very heavy. Therefore, he only wore a light Zha armor under his robe. The Zha armor was made of square armor. The armor pieces are connected to each other with leather ropes. The four corners of the armor pieces are rounded, and the front is slightly convex. They are stacked on each other horizontally and vertically without any gaps. Although the armor is light, its protection in close combat is no worse than the Mingguang armor. Swords are difficult to penetrate, let alone daggers?
The dagger in Iben's hand failed to pierce Tuoba Shouji's armor. He cursed in his mouth, but suddenly his throat felt sweet, and a stream of blood poured out of his mouth. When he lowered his head, he saw that an arrow had hit his abdomen, and the blood had already stained it. Clothes.
Yi Ben fell to the ground in pain and muttered: "Uh Fu Sheng! Uh Fu Sheng!" Kong Kong'er asked Zhang Zangxie: "Zhang Xiben, what did he say about the Goose Buddha God? Who is the Great Goose Buddha God?" Which god eats it? How did this goose become a god?" Zhang Zangxie listened closely to what Iben said, and said to Kong Kong'er: "He said 'er Fusheng', not 'goose', but It means dissatisfaction." Kong Kong'er said long
"Oh" he said, nodded and said: "You should definitely be dissatisfied, Mr. Tuoba, you are so treacherous. You shot him with a wooden beetle bow without saying hello first." Tuoba Shouji smiled and said: "Iben He used the "drag-knife trick" to defraud me, but he didn't say hello first. He was the one who got the blame when his plan failed, so he couldn't blame me. Besides, Kong Kong'er, you had clearly seen that I was deceiving, yet you were yelling at me from the sidelines. Adding fuel to the flames, why don't you remind him to be careful?" Kong Kong'er heard this.
"Hehe" he laughed twice and said, "Aren't I afraid that you can't win with your real skills? I help you out of kindness, but you don't know a good heart." He then asked Zhang Zangxie: "Where is Iben?" What are you talking about lying there? Are you lowering your head before death and cursing old Tuoba?" Tuoba Shouji spat: "He is a big cannibal, and he is not a real person. How can he lower his head?" Tuoba Shouji was a little too hasty when he shot the arrow. If he shot it into the chest, he would die immediately regardless of whether it pierced the heart or lungs. However, the arrow missed by an inch and shot into the abdomen, causing Iben's stomach to break and his intestines to bleed. It poured into my mouth, it was extremely painful, but I had no choice but to die.
At this moment, Iben was lying on the ground with his lips moving, blood foam constantly oozing out from the corners of his mouth, and his pronunciation becoming unclear. Zhang Zangxie came closer and carefully examined it for a long time, and said to Kong Kong'er: "Iben the prophet said that the people of Tang Dynasty are too treacherous... Kong Kong'er smiled and said: "Hey... this is so treacherous and this is a strategy. When it comes to strategy, no one can compare with the people of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention Ziya's "Six Tao", even "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has been handed down to this day. It's been more than 1,200 years. The Han people have been studying strategy for thousands of years, how can they be compared to people like you?" At this moment, Iben was already as angry as a thread. He could not hear Kong Kong'er's words, so naturally he could not talk to him. After the quarrel broke out, he muttered to himself, and Zhang Zangxie continued to interpret: "Iben knew it first, and he only regretted that all his people died here, and no one came back to Dashi to deliver the news, otherwise King Abu would definitely send troops eastward. Go in and break through the Tang Dynasty to avenge him." Hearing this, Kong Kong'er laughed and said, "With your little weight, no matter how much you come, what can you do to the Tang Dynasty?" Tuoba Shouji squatted down and said to Iben: " But you don’t have to worry about this. We abide by the rules and naturally leave one alive so that he can tell you the news of his death. As for whether your king comes to collect your body, I can’t control it." It turns out that the leader There is a rule in fighting. You must not kill all the enemy troops. You must leave one or two alive to go back and report the news. Otherwise, they will all be killed and the enemy will not know who did it. Firstly, it can show the prestige of our army. Secondly, it can also It gave the enemy a chance to collect the corpses, but Dashi was far away from here, across mountains and seas, so Tuoba Shouji said he didn't know if the king would come to collect the corpses.
Iben's eyes were distracted at this moment, and he probably didn't hear Tuoba Shouji's words. His eyes widened like a dead fish, his lips opened and closed, but at this time, his words were so close to Zhang Zangxie. He couldn't hear clearly, and after struggling for a long time, he still couldn't breathe. Seeing how painful he was, Tuoba Shouji stepped forward and inserted his own dagger into his heart. Iben flicked it, and finally stopped moving.
Jiang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, but heard Dugu Xiang whisper softly: "Brother Shuo, you are too kind-hearted. Why should you sigh for such a wicked man who deserved his death?" Jiang Shuo said happily: "Xiang Son, are you awake?" Dugu Xiang said: "When you removed the inner energy of Zhulong Kung from my body, my mind has recovered, but I can't move my whole body, I can't even say a word or raise my eyelids. Yes, but I heard everything you said." Jiang Shuo said: "Xiang'er, now that you have recovered, it seems that Kong Kong'er is about to complete your meritorious deeds." But suddenly he felt a shock all over his body, and the internal energy of the Zhulong Skill Suddenly it was pulled out of his body, and then Master Jiang Shuo, Dugu Xiang, and Gu Xin were shaken away at the same time. Only Kong Konger sat cross-legged on the spot. He laughed and said: "Looking back, thanks to you for figuring out the method of circulating internal energy. , so that I can recover my skills so quickly." It turned out that relying on the method of inner breath circulation, the Zhulong Skill continued to circulate. Not only were the four of them unharmed, but Kong Konger's self-healing was even faster, and the skills were finally completed ahead of schedule.
Lonely Xiang was bounced onto the rock wall and then fell to the ground. It seemed that she had not fallen lightly, but she looked very happy. She stood up and patted the dust on her body and said with a smile: "Finally, I have returned this heavy burden." , I don’t want the inner strength of Zhulong Kung any more." Kong Kong'er also smiled and said: "Xiao Xiang'er, don't you like the feeling of this peerless martial arts?" Dugu Xiang nodded first and said: "Everything is possible in heaven and on earth. Although it was indeed refreshing for a while, the price was too high. If you think about it, being the best in the world in martial arts is not necessarily happy. It is not as happy as the carefree and happy life I used to be." Kong Kong'er said: "Then what did you do with my skills that day?" Dugu Xiang pouted and said, "Isn't that to save your life?" Kong Kong'er glanced at Jiang Shuo and said, "I think it's to help your brother Shuo, right? If your brother Shuo is not in trouble, I'm afraid you, Xiao Ni, I ran away with some excuse a long time ago. How can I live or die?" Dugu Xiang blushed and said with a smile: "Kong Kong'er, you treat me very well, and I won't leave you alone..." She said this Those words were tantamount to admitting Kong Kong'er's love for Jiang Shuo. Jiang Shuo was moved in his heart and stepped forward to hold Dugu Xiang's hand and said: "Xiang'er, thanks to your secret help, I feel so sad without you." I don’t know what to do." Dugu Xiang smiled and said: "Then you can never misunderstand me or be cruel to me." Jiang Shuo's face also turned red and said: "I will never doubt you again in the future. "Okay..." Kong Kong'er touched his palms and smiled and said: "Okay, you two are stuck together like this, which makes us all very embarrassed. You see, Master Gu Xin is sitting there chanting sutras." Shuoxiang and two people heard this Yan quickly let go of his hands, and saw that Master Gu Xin was indeed sitting against the wall, with his eyes closed, but not chanting. Jiang Shuo couldn't help but worry, and walked forward to check, but Master Gu Xin slowly opened his eyes and said: "Don't worry, little friend Jiang, I'm just a little tired from singing earlier." Jiang Shuo was relieved, but he asked in confusion: "Master, I have something I don't know whether to ask..." Master Gu Xin He closed his eyes again and said: "You want to ask me, I am a Tibetan, and I have already agreed with Homsh, Iben and others to deal with the Tang people at the Nine Religions Conference, why did I change my mind and instead help the Three Religions of the Tang Dynasty? , to deal with foreign religions?" Jiang Shuo nodded and said: "Master, I'm not doubting you, it's just..." Master Gu Xin interrupted him: "Even if you have doubts, it's human nature. In fact, it's not surprising at all. When I help the Tang Dynasty, I am actually helping Tubo." Seeing Jiang Shuo's confusion, Master Gu Xin continued: "Tubo Zanpu did ask us to help Homsh succeed, but in fact, if Homsh succeeds, Tubo will not succeed. Seeing the benefits, if Tubo really descends to the plateau to block Hexi, the Tang Dynasty will definitely not give up. If the two countries use all their strength to fight in Hexi and Longyou, who will benefit the most?" Dugu Xiang said: "Of course it is Feihongzi Homushi and the others. ." Master Gu Xin slowly shook his head.
Jiang Shuo thought for a moment and said, "It's Dashi! With the war between Tang and Tibet, the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty will inevitably be empty. Dashi can cross the Congling Mountains and attack the Western Regions." Master Gu Xin nodded and said, "Not only that, except In the Western Region of the Tang Dynasty, there is also the gateway to the west of Tubo, the Big and Little Bolu." Zhang Zangxie interjected: "Master Jiang, does he know that if the Big and Little Bolu are lost, which part of Tubo will be unsafe to defend?" Jiang Shuo hesitated for a moment. , said: "I know, it's Xiangxiong from the west!"
