Longju Island is very different from what it was back then, but it is undoubtedly Longju Island because there are traces of burning everywhere on the island. Although the fire has been extinguished now, the strong burnt smell still lingers, and there are several corpses of Tang soldiers scattered everywhere. Just like this, the corpse was exposed in the wild. It was still summer at this moment, and in one day, the smell of the corpse was hard to hide.
Jiang Shuo couldn't help but worry and said: "To kill so many people at once, the Yin Alliance must have sent many good soldiers. If they were all on the island, it would be difficult to deal with them." Dugu Xiang said: "It's easy to handle, let's do it first If you don't go to the island to find Duan Jianwei and circle the island to see if there are any ships, the Yin League will burn all the ships coming and going, but they will not burn their own ships, otherwise they will not be able to leave Longju Island." Jiang Shuo said: "Xianger, your method is good. If there are no boats, it means there is no one on the island. If there are boats, you can also roughly infer how many enemies are on the island based on the number of boats." The two walked around the island for a while. Longju Island is shaped like a leaf. It is long from north to south and narrow from east to west. A circle around the island is only ten miles. The two of them were very cautious at first, but then they became more and more bold. As expected, the only one on the entire island was Duan Jianwei. This little boat.
It seems that the Yin League has withdrawn without a trace. This is in line with the characteristics of the Yin League being silent and leaving no traces. In the future, the Tang army's landing on the island will only be thought to be a sneak attack by the Tibetans.
However, there are no tall trees in the West Sea. It would take a lot of time for the Tang army to transport wood to rebuild ships and land on the island. It is estimated that Piluoge took this opportunity to hide on the island to heal his injuries.
Seeing this situation, the two men no longer worried about an ambush and walked towards the island, looking for Duan Jianwei and Piluo Pavilion.
island
In the thickest part of the "leaf", there is a wooden fortress that was burned to ashes.
"Yinglong City", the location next to the city is where the Yin League established its encirclement. Pei Min is also a general of the Tang Army, so it is not surprising that the location for the general is the same.
Yinglong City had been completely burned, and the air was mixed with the smell of burned grain and rotting corpses. Dugu Xiang pinched his nose and said: "Brother Shuo, let's leave quickly, they can't be in a place like this. But Jiang Shuo put his finger on his mouth and whispered: "It's right here." Jiang Shuo had the skill of observing Qi and could feel that there were people in the city. He took Dugu Xiang and gently walked around the city gate and walked from one side to the other. The burned-down city walls flashed into the city, and they saw that in addition to the burned wooden structures, there were several large pits in the city. Jiang Shuo had also seen such pits in Fanyang Longhuo City, which were grain cellars.
The grain and grass in the grain cellar had been completely burned, but the grain and grass in the city was not full. There was a pit that was originally empty. The two of them peeked at the pit and saw another small hole opened at the bottom of the grain cellar. At this moment It was completely dark, and there was light shining through the small cave. It seemed that Pi Luoge and Duan Jianwei were hiding here.
Shuo and Xiang quietly jumped into the pit, leaned outside the cave, and peeked inside. The hole was extremely shallow, but unexpectedly it was a very large cave inside.
Jiang Shuo originally thought that this small cave was dug by Duan Jianwei, but when he saw the large cave inside, he knew that it could not have been hurriedly dug by Duan Jianwei in one day.
Looking at the person sitting cross-legged in the center of the cave, it was Pi Luo Ge. His expression was quite tired, and there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth. It turned out that the blood all over Duan Jianwei's body was spurted by Pi Luo Ge.
Jiang Shuo thought to himself: I was eager to win that day and used my palms with all my strength. I didn't expect to injure Pi Luo Ge so seriously. He wanted to slap Pi Luo Ge to death that day, but now he sees Pi Luo Ge. He looked like this, but he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable.
Duan Jianwei stepped forward and wiped the blood from the corner of Piluoge's mouth with a handkerchief, and then took a ladle to scoop water from a large vat for Piluoge to drink. The sides of the vat were piled with deerskin bags, but the skins were originally bulging. They are all deflated now.
There were many large tanks like this, and Jiang Shuo suddenly realized that there was no fresh water on Longju Island, and the salty brine of the West Sea was not drinkable. The Tang army transported fresh water to the island and stored it in cellars, so this pit was empty. Yes, it is estimated that when the fire broke out, the Tang army used water stored in the cellar to put out the fire, which depleted the stored fresh water. Therefore, Duan Jianwei had to leave the island to find water. Only then was Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang discovered and tracked them to the island. Otherwise, no one would have thought that there were people hiding on Longju Island, which was in ruins.
Pi Luoge just took a sip and
He spat it out with a "wow" sound, which seemed to have affected the injury, and he spat out several mouthfuls of blood. Duan Jianwei knelt down and kowtowed: "My disciple did not take good care of me and made my master suffer. It is a capital crime, a capital crime..." Pi Luo Ge suddenly said softly: "Hey... I am in danger now, and it is all up to you to protect me. How can I blame you? Get up quickly." Duan Jianwei did not dare to get up and said: "This is what a disciple should do." Pi Luoge said: "Have you found what you were asked to find?" Duan Jianwei said Said: "There are no clues, it is really difficult to find." Piluo Ge sighed leisurely and said: "It seems that time has passed and I and... Duan Lang, please come closer." His voice was weak, and it sounded like he was out of breath and out of breath. It seemed as if he was about to die.
Although Duan Jianwei was a white barbarian from Nanzhao, he was like a Han Confucian scholar and served his master with great respect. Seeing Pi Luo Ge's appearance, his tears couldn't stop flowing down his face. He walked forward on his knees and said to Pi Luo Ge, "Master, what's the matter?" Teaching? Jian Wei heard about it." Pi Luoge put his hand on his back and said, "Good disciple, don't blame me..." Duan Jianwei asked in confusion: "What's the blame?" Pi Luoge suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes. When all was gone, the fingers he was pressing on Duan Jianwei's back suddenly bent... Jiang Shuo shouted, "No!" and flew into the cave.
The inner energy on Pi Luoge's finger had already been ejected, but Jiang Shuo was startled by the sudden intrusion. His finger trembled, and the Qi sword failed to accurately stab Duan Jianwei's heart. He wanted to stab Duan Jianwei a second time. , Jiang Shuo had already grabbed it and was close. He raised his hand and slapped it in the air, knocking Pi Luo Ge's palm away.
Duan Jianwei rolled on the spot, half-crouched on the ground, holding his chest, looking very painful. Jiang Shuo asked anxiously: "Mr. Duan, are you okay?" Duan Jianwei looked at Jiang Shuo in confusion and didn't know where he came from. Then he shook his head in pain and said: "I am not as angry as Master." The sword pierced the ribs on the back. Although it was very painful, it did not hurt the internal organs." Jiang Shuo felt relieved.
I saw Duan Jianwei staring at Pi Luoge and saying, "Master, why do you want to take my life?" At this moment, Pi Luoge felt guilty and did not dodge his eyes. He looked directly into Duan Jianwei's eyes and said calmly: "Duan Lang , your martial arts talent is extremely good, and you are the best in martial arts among my disciples. If I die and leave you alone in the world, how can my son, Ge Luofeng, convince everyone? As long as you live for one day, my son's The country has not been able to sit still for a day." Duan Jianwei kowtowed and said, "I am the same to the king and the young master. I am loyal and have no thought of breaking the rules." At this time, Dugu Xiang also broke in and said to Duan Jian Wei Dao: "Your master wants to kill you, why do you kowtow to him? Are you humble?" Piluo Ge suddenly said angrily: "What do you know, little girl? As the saying goes, if the king wants his minister to die, he must die." , I am Duan Jianwei's master and his king, so why not take his life?" Dugu Xiang said: "There must be a legitimate reason, right?" She stepped forward and pulled him. The leader forcibly helped Duan Jianwei up and said: "My son has no future as a disciple, but he is afraid that capable disciples will rebel. What reason is this..." Before she could finish her words, Piluo Pavilion had already rushed out. He charged directly at Dugu Xiang. He knew that even though he was injured, he was no match for Jiang Shuo, so he aimed at Dugu Xiang.
When Dugu Xiang saw Pi Luo Ge rushing towards her, he didn't take the move, turned around and ran away. In terms of lightness alone, Dugu Xiang was as good as anyone. He dodged left and right in the small cave, but Pi Luo Ge really couldn't catch up with her. .
After a few ups and downs, he couldn't catch up with Dugu Xiang. Suddenly he felt the wind blowing in his ears, but Jiang Shuo intercepted him. Pi Luoge touched Jiang Shuo with his palm.
With a "pop" sound, it immediately flew to one side. Jiang Shuo was wondering in his heart. Although Piluoge's internal strength was slightly inferior to his own, it wasn't so vulnerable, right?
Looking carefully at the direction Pi Luo Ge was flying, he was heading towards Duan Jianwei. It turns out that Piluoge's pursuit of Xiang'er was a lie, and his failure to defeat Jiang Shuo was also a lie. Piluoge was indeed seriously injured when he was opposed by Jiangshuo. He hid in this cave to heal his injuries for several days, but not only did his injuries not improve, I actually coughed up blood today.
Pi Luoge thought that his fate was over soon, so he wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of Duan Jianwei before he died.
Duan Jianwei was an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, and his internal strength and martial arts far surpassed that of his son, Ge Luofeng. Pi Luoge wanted to kill Duan Jianwei first to avoid causing trouble for his son.
As for Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang, they are not that important to him. Seeing Piluo Pavilion flying towards him, he held the sword secret in his hand and fired the air sword. Although Duan Jianwei was the most filial to his master, he was greedy for life and hated death by nature. Even if Duan Jianwei was asked to stand there and wait for death, he could do it.
He pointed the index finger of his right hand forward and sent out an air sword, stabbing Piluo Ge in the chest. Although there are six qi swords in Piluo Pavilion, none of these six qi swords can compare with Duan Jianwei's qi sword that directly advances the army.
Pi Luoge combined several qi swords into one, but his qi sword originated from the three yin, three yang and six meridians in his hand. The six meridians have yin and yang, and their properties are different. It is difficult to truly twist them into one, and they still cannot be combined. Duan Jianwei's single pure Yang Qi sword competes with it.
The Qi Sword was invisible and could not really be seen, but Jiang Shuo used the Qi Observation Technique to see it, like a hole in the sky illuminated by a candle.
He couldn't help but comment: "Piluo Pavilion's air sword is like the foil sword danced by Gongsun's disciples. Although it looks lively, it can only bully those whose internal strength is far weaker than itself." Dugu Xiang asked: "Then Where is Duan Jianwei?" Jiang Shuo said: "Duan Lang's swordsmanship is like a heavy sword without an edge. Although his swordsmanship seems to be childish and clumsy, it is actually ingenious and ineffective. The enemy cannot break it or resist it..." Jiang Shuo finished his sentence. When Li Guiren fell, he heard a crisp sound in the air. It turned out to be Piluo Pavilion's Qi Sword. Just like the day Li Guiren met Kong Kong'er, it was blown out of thin air.
"Break". Immediately afterwards, Duan Jianwei's Qi Sword hit the Tanzhong point on Piluoge's chest. Piluoge's body suddenly shook violently while he was in the air. He leaned back and fell to the ground. There was a surge in his chest and a sweet taste in his mouth. He spat out another mouthful of blood.
At this time, Duan Jianwei didn't care about the fear that Pi Luo Ge would harm him. He rushed forward and picked up Pi Luo Ge, crying: "Master, my disciple is unfilial and accidentally hurt the master..." Pi Luo Ge was already dead at this moment. He had no ability to hurt people. He stared at Duan Jianwei in disbelief and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Duan... when did you develop such skill?" Duan Jianwei hesitated for a moment and said in awe: "Master, Although you are naturally smart and have figured out the method of drawing a sword with six meridians, in fact, from the perspective of my disciples, this is a misguided approach. It is the same as leading an army to fight. It is better to divide the troops into six groups than to concentrate them on one." Jiang Shuo nodded silently in his heart. It coincided with his previous thoughts.
Pi Luoge leaned in Duan Jianwei's arms, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then he understood the reason, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Duan...why didn't you say this earlier?" Duan Jianwei still said in a very humble tone: " With the master's arrogance, I'm afraid I won't be able to listen to what my disciple said..." Pi Luoge was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Hahaha, that's right! Not bad! Not bad..." He shouted three good words in a row. when, suddenly
"Wow!" He spat out a large mouthful of blood, tilted his head, and he, who was born short, curled up into a ball in Duan Jianwei's arms, like a child, snuggled in Duan Jianwei's arms, closed his eyes and died.
