Chapter 448: Battle Elder Street (Part I)
Yusang packed the music box with an ancient sandalwood box, and then solemnly returned it to Sun Tu's hands: "Then this treasure will be presented to the emperor by the time of the time, so as to promote the dignity of my Buddhism." ”
Sun Tu also took the box respectfully with both hands, not to mention, after putting it into the sandalwood box like this, this music box, which was originally only a toy, suddenly looked tall, and then solemnly agreed. And just when Sun Tu was about to say goodbye with the box, Yusang suddenly looked at him and said, "Donor, it's not early today, why don't you rest in our temple for one night?" ”
These words made Sun Tu stunned and looked at the sky outside. Although it is indeed a little dark on this day, it is only close to noon in terms of the hour, so why not say that there are guests every night? But he could also see that Yusang really wanted to keep himself here, which made him feel a little playful: "What does this mean, Master? Please also be explicit. ”
"This Chengtian Temple may be ordinary, but there is one thing that is second only to the palace in the city, that is, no small person dares to come to my temple." Yusang Zhengse said, and looked at Sun Tu expectantly. And this time, Sun Tu quickly understood, obviously he saw that someone would be unfavorable to him, and he wanted to protect himself so he made this invitation!
But how could Sun Tu be frightened by this threat, and said with a smile: "The master's kindness is in the heart, but since it is trouble, even if I can hide today, what about tomorrow?" I can't stay in the temple forever, can I? With that, he officially got up and bowed down again to thank him: "But I still want to thank the Guru for helping me with this, and he will come back to listen to the Guru's teachings when he has time!" ”
After saying this, Sun Tu stopped lingering and slowly withdrew from the room. And after seeing Sun Tu's resolute appearance, Yusang didn't open his mouth to stay, but just watched him leave, and then sighed lightly: "Some things are inevitable after all, and there will be another storm in Xingzhou City......"
Seeing Sun Tu come out with a sandalwood box, Lin Dong, who was waiting outside, was suddenly overjoyed: "General Sun really asked Master Yusang for a treasure?" ”
"Exactly, this is the treasure of Buddhism, enough to make the Xifeng clan shine at this year's birthday banquet." Sun Tu nodded and said, then took out a furoshiki from his arms, and then wrapped the box and tied it on his back. Since there may be a threat from outside, he needs to be well prepared.
After doing all this, he looked at Lin Dong again: "How are your martial arts?" ”
Lin Dong was stunned for a moment when he asked this, and then said with a bitter face: "The villain only sprinkles and sweeps in the other courtyard, and rides a horse only reluctantly, and he has never touched anyone......
"Then you should stay in the temple for now, and then it's not too late to go back when you are safe." Sun Tu said, ignoring the frightened and inexplicable reaction, he had already strode to the door of the temple, and after bending down to greet the monks on the side, he had already turned on his horse, and then his eyes quickly swept to the few people who were still staying outside the temple, to see what they would do.
In Sun Tu's mind, since Yusang saw that he was about to be attacked, it was likely that these stalkers would find an opportunity to attack him. That being the case, then there is no need for him to be so passive, just strike first. As for the identity and origin of these guys, whether they were from the people of the fine seal or the prince, he didn't care about it, and the consequences of killing them were much better than being injured.
After making up his mind, Sun Tu had already turned his horse and slowly leaned towards the few guys who were staring at him blatantly, and at the same time, his right hand had been pressed on the hilt of the knife on his waist, and he could draw his knife at any time to make a move!
Those people were still looking at Sun Tu with an arrogant and provocative expression, but when they found that this person was approaching with murderous intent, they were shocked, and subconsciously took two steps back, and at the same time, they each touched the weapons they were carrying. After Sun Tu got closer, one of them finally couldn't resist the murderous aura and shouted, "You...... What do you want to do? ”
"I'm supposed to ask you, right? What is your purpose when you have come here from the east of the city with me since the morning? Sun Tu asked, but the speed of progress did not slow down at all, and even his legs had been retracted and clamped the horse's belly, faintly with the intention of controlling the horse to rush forward.
"The surname is Sun, this is the capital of my Xia Kingdom, it's not your arbitrary presumptuousness!" The faces of the few people who felt the pressure changed again, and in a choking voice, they had already pulled out the sabers they were carrying one after another, because if they didn't do so, they would not be able to withstand the terrible murderous aura.
Sun Tu squinted, the corners of his mouth turned up, and the disdain on his face couldn't be more obvious: "So in the end, you want to kill me based on your identity?" I'm going to disappoint you! As soon as the words fell, his right hand flipped over, and the saber was silently unsheathed, and at the same time, his left hand shook the reins, and the horse under his crotch immediately neighed, and the speed of his forward movement suddenly accelerated, turning into a small run, and rushed straight towards those people.
"You...... Daring! We are ......" Just when a few people didn't know whether to reveal their identities to scare Sun Tu away, at the end of the silent long street ahead, there was another sound of horses' hooves hitting the bluestone pavement, which was very urgent, like the sudden sound of a drum.
I don't know if it's because of the rain and snow, or because it's almost noon, at this moment, there is no one else on this originally quiet long street outside Chengtian Temple except for Sun Tu.
But at this time, someone finally came, and there were more than one or two people coming, and a cavalry team of twenty people suddenly entered from behind the stone archway in front. The black power suit, leather armor and chest protection, coupled with the Xueliang war knife that was already in his hand, even if there was still a long distance from them, it had already made the faces of several people, including Sun Tu, change, and the hand holding the knife became tighter and tighter.
It turns out that the real threat is not from these stalkers! Only then did Sun Tu understand, no wonder Yusang wanted to keep himself in the temple, this cavalry team did give him a lot of pressure!
And although the few people he faced also felt pressure, at this time, they were relieved, and when the reinforcements arrived, Sun Tu didn't dare to do it against him again! Although they couldn't tell the origin of this black-clothed cavalry, they just needed to know that they were here to deal with Sun Tu.
But just when these people breathed a sigh of relief, and were about to scold Sun Tu for abandoning his weapons and being bound, Sun Tu let out a soft shout: "Kill!" With the reins in his hand, he actually controlled the war horse to rush forward at full speed, and the knife in his hand was also waved decisively, killing the few stalkers in front of him.
"You ......" to the mouth of the scolding quickly turned into exclamation and screams, these people didn't expect Sun Tu to be so decisive, the two in front of them didn't even have time to react, they were quickly killed by him, the last person just raised the knife to block the steel knife that came from the chop, but because of the disparity in strength, the steel knife broke out, and then in a scream, Sun Tu was beheaded. A moment later, the corpse collapsed with a thud in a pool of blood.
This suddenly surprised the black-clothed cavalry who were riding their horses unhurriedly, and made their originally orderly team appear a little confused. They really didn't expect Sun Tu to make such a fierce choice under such circumstances.
Because in their opinion, even if Sun Tu knew that they were here to deal with him, there should only be two choices at this time - either to escape, whether it was to escape back to Chengtian Temple to seek refuge, or to run to the other side of the long street, they would have a backhand to deal with; Either they simply rushed their hearts to kill, and this also played into their hands, they believed that with the combat power of their own team, they were enough to surround and kill one person.
But Sun Tu actually chose to turn a blind eye to them, and even killed all the people in front of him! This surprised them, and it also made their hearts chill, and they faintly realized that the person in front of them was far more ferocious and terrible than they judged!
In fact, Sun Tu also has his own considerations for doing this, and in his opinion, the threat of these stalkers around him is not small. Originally, he was an enemy, how could he dare to have reservations, so he took advantage of the moment when the enemy relaxed to kill those who could kill first, and then it was not too late to deal with this cavalry!
After decisively killing the three of them, and returning to the horse to see that the team was a little chaotic, Sun Tu was even more happy, and immediately did not hesitate, shook the reins again, clamped the horse's belly, and quickly slaughtered the twenty black-clothed cavalry.
The cavalry was also tempered by thousands of tempers, even if it was a little distracted, it quickly recovered when Sun Tu turned and pounced, and with the leader's order, they quickly dispersed and covered the target like a net. Even at this time, they were still wary that Sun Tu would find a gap to break through and escape, so they immediately formed a formation and surrounded the long street, and at the same time, some people neatly picked up the black short bow placed on the side of the horse, and the arrows that were steaming with cold light were also aimed at Sun Tu.
Sun Tu, who was controlling the horse and rushing forward, was suddenly shocked when he saw these bows and arrows, and then he knew that his situation was more dangerous than he imagined. In such an unobstructed situation, once they are shot from all sides, no matter how high his martial arts are, it will be difficult to save his life!
Thinking in his heart, the momentum of his forward rush did not slow down in the slightest, and his eyes were already focused on the leader who had given the order just now.
Seventy or eighty paces was nothing to a galloping horse, and in the blink of an eye, there were less than twenty paces left between the two sides. At this moment, seven or eight archers had already let go of their arrows, and several cold rays of light shot from all directions with a whistling, so that Sun Tu couldn't even find the angle of dodging.
And Sun Tu's choice was once again beyond their expectations, he didn't have the slightest intention of dodging the arrows, but continued to urge the horse to rush forward, facing the arrows, holding a steel knife, and pounced on the leader of the black-clothed cavalry!
"Look for death!" Seeing this, the man was also very angry, and shouted violently, and the iron spear in his hand had already stabbed out with the momentum, directly hitting Sun Tu's chest, vowing to knock him off the horse with one shot!
