Text 788 Wen Jian
Li Hong didn't have too much time to stay in Chengdu Mansion, so even if the forest was a sea of swords and fires today, he would have to take a risk, after all, tonight's assassination was very likely to allow him to break through the iron wall of Jiannan Dao officialdom. {with}{dream} щ{suimеng][lā}
So without waiting for others to stop him, Li Hong took the lead in walking into the woods, Hua Meng and the cheetah hurriedly followed, and Wei Tu Qi immediately took a big step and walked in front of Li Hong to open the way for him.
The light in the forest was far less abundant than the moonlight outside, and the potholes and ruggedness underfoot made it impossible to pursue quickly.
Moreover, those black-clothed men were obviously more familiar with the terrain in the mountains than the guards, and they were like ghosts, relying on dense tree trunks to avoid the pursuit of the guards, as well as the shooting of bows and crossbows in their hands.
The arrows shuttled through the forest, piercing the night sky from time to time, making a bang, and then sinking two-thirds of the arrows into the trunk of the tree, so it also made the man in black break out in a cold sweat.
He had never seen such a precise, fierce, and powerful crossbow, and even those who held the bow and crossbow could be wound again in an instant, without giving him any chance to get close to the other party in time.
These were all unexpected, originally thought that he was just a noble gentleman, and brought a few people to Qingcheng Mountain, but he didn't expect it to be such a well-trained person.
Some black-clothed people who were alone and surrounded, holding long swords, cooperated with each other with their false and real moves under their hands, and under the siege of several personal guards, they were in danger, although they had no worries about their lives for a while, but looking at their embarrassed appearance, I am afraid that they would not last long.
Compared with the long sword in the hand of the man in black, the false tricks occasionally cast to confuse the pro-guards, the soldiers of the pro-guard team are used by people once and for the last time, but even so, with the tacit cooperation of several people, with the fast, accurate, ruthless, and poisonous moves sharpened on the battle array, they can also snatch back the opportunity when they lose the opportunity.
"Keep going!" After listening to Yu Tu Qi's description of the width of the woods, Li Hong immediately ordered.
Since entering the woods, all the people who have issued bows and crossbows have been members of the personal guards, and no personal guards have been killed, and they can bite the men in black all the way as if they were walking on the ground.
This shows that those men in black are not ambushed in the woods at all, and they do not have weapons such as bows and crossbows in their hands, only the long swords in their hands.
The three-foot blade is becoming more and more popular among rangers, and compared to the best horizontal swords, the long sword is more flexible and light for them, able to switch back and forth between the virtual and the real, and with their light pace, it can deal with enemies who are stronger than him to the greatest extent.
The horizontal knife is born from the battlefield, in addition to the main function of cutting, splitting and stabbing, the biggest requirement is that its hardness and toughness should be good, so with the improvement of hardness and toughness, and in order to maximize the characteristics of cutting, splitting and stabbing, the best horizontal knife will naturally weigh a few points in weight.
As soon as Yu Tuqi stepped over a waist-thick tree, a cold light immediately flashed behind the tree, and a silent man in black had already been hidden for a long time.
At this time, looking at the black iron tower-like Wei Tuqi, his first impression was that this person was extremely bulky, and he was afraid that he was useless except for strength.
Therefore, he hid here for a moment, and he couldn't bear the murderous intent in his heart, and immediately stabbed at Wei Tuqi's chest.
"Humph!" Yu Tu Qi snorted coldly, and at the same time as the man in black exclaimed, he actually avoided the sword, and in the process, it did not affect the pace of Li Hong behind him at all.
"Your Highness." Li Hong walked past Yu Tu Qi, didn't pay attention to Yu Tu Qi's situation at all, just coldly spit out two words, and then continued to chase forward accompanied by Hua Meng and Cheetah.
At this time, facing the man in black who was forced forward again, Wei Tuqi actually had time to answer Li Hong's order, and after a hum in his mouth, the horizontal knife in his hand was instantly unsheathed, blocking the long sword as bright as autumn water that the man in black stabbed again!
The man in black only felt a shock from the sword body, and the huge force passed through the sword body to the tiger's mouth, and the tiger's mouth hurt from the shock, and he almost couldn't hold the long sword in his hand.
But before he could react from the sharp pain in the tiger's mouth, Yu Tu Qi had already drawn out the horizontal knife at a speed that shocked him and couldn't believe it, and it slashed down from the top of his head in an instant.
He didn't have time to retreat, and when he had nowhere to hide, he had to raise the long sword in his hand to block, and he only heard a crisp sound in his ears, and as soon as his hand sank, he saw that the long sword in his hand had been cut off from the middle, and his chest was also cut open by a horizontal knife.
The man in black didn't have time to look up at the iron tower that cut his chest and opened his abdomen, only to feel that his lower abdomen was hit by a heavy hammer, and in an instant, the whole person flew out, hit a tree with a bang, and then fell to the ground, and the blood that could not be seen clearly in the dark night only flowed out from his chest lying on the ground at this time.
"It's a little tender!" Wei Tu Qi didn't have to look back, and as soon as the horizontal knife in his hand stretched back, he felt the horizontal knife stabbed into a person's chest.
With a height of nearly two meters, he has longer arms and legs than ordinary people, so the long sword in the hand of the man in black behind him has not reached the back of his heart, and the already long horizontal knife in his hand has pierced the chest of the other man in black.
The giant palm covered the face of the black-clothed man who sneaked up on him, and then with a murderous push, he pushed the black-clothed man stuck in the horizontal knife to the sky, and then let out a short and sharp whistle, and in an instant, some soldiers of the pro-guard team in other places in the forest began to run in the dense woods, in the general direction of this side.
"Just leave a few alive!" Li Hong's face was gloomy, this forest is not big or small, and it is not small when it is small.
Hua Meng and cheetahs on both sides of him accompanied him all the way, and when he was about to reach his strength, the number of people in black also increased.
I don't know if they had just climbed up from the cliff, or if they were forced to retreat here by the guards.
After Hua Meng and Cheetah received Li Hong's order, they began to join the battle group, while Li Hong stood not far away empty-handed, quietly watching the somewhat vague movements of those black-clothed people in the woods.
From the actions of these people, it can be seen that these people are not soldiers at all, they are completely composed of some so-called rangers, every move and style is extremely good-looking and light, but in his opinion, murderous, domineering and powerful, if they go to the battlefield, these people are not as long as ordinary soldiers.
Even the long swords in the hands of some black-clothed people were still fighting with sword spikes.
The sword spike is derived from the sword rein, and as the long sword is replaced by a knife on the battlefield, the sword reins have little effect as a sword tied to the saddle or wrist, so the sword spike came into being, and became a symbol that literati and writers like to wear on their bodies when expressing their ambitions.
In the pre-Sui period, there were already regulations on the etiquette system: a product, a jade sword, and a jade mountain. Second grade, gold sword, water jade. The third-grade male, the Hou, and the fourth, fifth-grade nobles, and the silver sword, wearing water and jade. The servant has gone down, Tong Zhilang has gone up, and the companion is like a sword. Those with straight swords, enter the temple and ascend to the temple, if they are in the battle, they will all untie the sword.
In the Tang Dynasty, the symbol of the literati sword became the sword spike tied to the head of the sword, and there was no rule that ordinary people could not wear it, so at this time, the literati sword had become a fashion for Tang scholars and scholars.
Li Hong looked at the man in black who was holding a long sword in his hand, and the sword spike could even sometimes let him hit himself because of the obstruction of the woods, waving it there indiscriminately, and he couldn't guess what these people were!
Could it be a person with five surnames and seven hopes? How is it possible, at this time, it is too late for the five surnames and seven wangs to tie themselves up, how can they do the thing of assassinating themselves?
It's just that the more he stared at the black-clothed man with the literati sword, the black-clothed man waved it for a long time, and when he was tired, or when he was hit by the sword spike of his own sword, he stopped panting, and saw that there was no one around him attacking him at all.
And the man closest to him looked at him like an idiot, especially the eyes, when he saw the long sword and sword spike in his hand, the contempt in that eye made him feel greatly insulted.
So the man in black looked around and no one looked at him, and the shouts of killing were all near him, and his brain was hot, so he stabbed Li Hong with the long sword in his hand, and shouted with murderous anger in his mouth: "Take your life!" ”
"Get out!" Li Hong coldly watched the man in black rush to him, picked up a few leaves with dirt on his toes, kicked at the man in black, and then raised his foot in the air and kicked the man in black in the chest.
The man in black was like a gourd rolling on the ground in an instant, and the long sword in his hand was still at Li Hong's feet, but he rolled out several times.
"You?" The man in black stood up, but saw the young man with his open chest and exposed his arms, easily picking up his long sword, studying the sword spike with great interest.
"The battle array technique and killing technique left by the ancestors have all been mispracticed by you fools! And the face with a sword? I think you're cheap enough! "Li Hong knows very well that some people in the previous life would also practice this sword with a spike in order to strengthen their bodies.
As a result, he also studied how to wield the sword spike at the same time as the sword body to be beautiful, elegant, and light, and even called it beautifully: The role of the sword spike is to confuse the enemy.
But in Li Hong's opinion, he doesn't know if he will confuse the enemy, but if he wants to dance the sword spike and the sword itself, especially if the sword spike does not hit him, it is enough for the sword dancer to stand it.
Where does he still have the mind to care about which part of his body the enemy is attacking him?
It's not just like feeding the moves, pleasing people with routines, so that the other party can attack the trajectory of the sword path and the sword spike when he dances the sword according to the agreed routine, so as to give people the feeling of a dazzling sword master on the basis of tacit understanding.
