The guards and soldiers were all stunned by this loud noise, and the leader felt that a hurricane was blowing in his face, crushing him against the city wall, and he wanted to open his mouth and scream, but he couldn't scream at that moment. The fire, the carriage, the young man, Yu Laosan, the sound of the earth became blurred in that moment, and his eyes saw the giant axe whirling like the wind, and the blade of the axe flashed with cold light, as silver as a crescent moon.

Had it not been for a flash of instinct, the axe would have smashed him straight into the walls. The thunderous axe pressed against his ear, and the heavy back of the axe slammed into the wall. Shanhaiguan City let out a dull sound, and the brick wall of Dafang Qingcheng cracked straight up and down. The black gatehouse let out a dull tearing roar as if it was about to topple, and then a rain of earth, stone and bricks rained down, smashing the leader who was still standing under the papaya city wall to the ground.

The power of the blow wore off for a long time, and with a sharp pull of his thick fingers, the giant lifted the axe embedded deep in the wall, and turned to face a small group of defenders by the city gate. The deputy leader of the defenders had a cloudy face, and was about to give the order to shoot, but the big man did not wait for them to react, and rushed to the city gate by himself, and with both hands, he pulled up the latch wood that the two of them could only hold, and opened the two gates made of solid wood and iron leaves. The young swordsman got up and rode his horse, braving the wind and snow, and rushed out of the city gate in his carriage.

It wasn't until the carriage crossed the drawbridge that the defenders reacted - the loud bang just now came from the castle tower, and the huge drawbridge mechanism was blown up by some unknown method, and the drawbridge was lowered, so that the carriage could cross the moat so smoothly.

"Look at what! Don't chase it yet! The leader glared at his subordinates. Someone answered immediately. Each got on his horse. Chased out.

The leader blinked his eyes and saw Yu Laosan and the other local veterans all flashing to the side, touching the handle of the short scimitar with his hand, but his eyes flickered, and his heart suddenly brightened, knowing that these dirty local homeless idlers had always been unreliable, and if they really fought just now. may not stand on the side of them, the officers and soldiers who were stationed later, and most of them are still in cahoots with that "Luo Ye".

The leader was about to send someone to the camp to report Ye Zhichao, when suddenly another loud noise came, and he saw a block in the city suddenly burst into flames, and the leader immediately understood that someone was deliberately making trouble tonight, and shouted: "Close the city gate quickly!" ”

The avenue outside the city was empty and silent, and the night seemed to be getting thicker and thicker, and the tightly shielded car and the small escort beside it were surrounded by thick fog. A man in a cloak poked his head out of the car, looked back at the vast city of silence and almost eternity in the dark and snowy night, and sighed. The bell rings and the snowflakes fall. In the stillness of the night. I could only hear the sound of people and horses stepping on the snow. He sat back in the car and asked outside the curtain, "Xiao Dong." Isn't it a sign of self-violence that we come out with such fanfare? ”

The young swordsman surnamed Dong strode forward nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, since Master Luo let us go out of the south gate, there will naturally be arrangements." As he spoke, he heard a loud bang, and the flames were soaring into the sky, but it was the location of the west gate of the city. After a short time, the other three city gates also burned vigorously in the dark night, and the sky above Shanhaiguan City was red.

So they walked to a river in the dark, and stopped there to make a point. At the end of the river into the sea, the river becomes three wide channels criss-crossed, and because of the difference in soil quality and algae, the water of the three rivers is green, lavender and crimson respectively. And between these three-color rivers is a river surrounded by patches of reeds and swamps. Even if there is a ship, it is difficult not to lose its way in it for a moment. Xiao Dong didn't rest, he was obviously very familiar with the geography here, and he was already deep in the reeds and couldn't see it.

I saw thousands of miles of reeds swinging, and the winter was bleak. The head of the dry reed pole was covered with shriveled white tidbits, like a one-legged ghost standing alone. Where the wind rises, thousands of reeds float up, swinging slowly with the wind, and they are not in a hurry to fall, but by the wind, suddenly drifting in the east and falling in the west.

Two whistle birds fluttered and flew out of the reeds, the big man held his axe handle, and the people in the car looked up, but it was Xiao Dong who came back.

With a smile on his face, he said, "I'm lucky to have met the blue-eyed Ah San." He is the most famous water ghost in this area, and with him leading the way, he can cross the river in one day. He turned his head and whistled, and a boat came out of the depths of the river.

A lean man in his forties was squatting on the bow of the boat, leaning on the water, his blue eyes rolling around non-stop, revealing a shrewdness.

It was a small boat, without a canopy, except for a shoar in the back, and a young man held it. The young man is about 12 years old at most, and his eyebrows and eyes are seven points similar to Ah San. There was also a middle-aged woman sitting in the boat, holding a little girl about two years old in her arms. Xiao Dong saw that the woman was long, strong, and had light brown hair, but she was afraid that she had Russian blood, and she didn't know who her ancestors were. But now that so much time has passed, even if they are Russians, they don't look much different from the big Qianmin girls.

Seeing the man's pale brown hair fluttering in the wind, Ah San couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't say anything.

"The carriage is no longer working, so unload the horses." Xiao Dong said.

Dahan untied the three horses and sent them into the boat, one foot deep and one foot shallow. Xiao Dong and the man in the cloak got on the boat one after another, but the big man picked up the carriage with both hands, pushed it into the reeds as much as he could, and pushed it straight out, and the carriage immediately fell into the crimson mire, and after a while, only a few mud bubbles remained.

"Okay, Lei Leopard, you can come up too." Xiao Dong shouted, then Ah San didn't ask much, raised the long artemisia, went to the shore a little, and the clipper slowly left the shore.

The thunder leopard answered, and jumped up, but everyone heard only a sound, and the feet sank, and the river almost didn't enter the river. Ah San heyed, revealing his real work, the bamboo artemisia tapped on the water, and the boat was as steady as Mount Tai, swinging straight out.

Ah San led them left and right in the ditch of the Ludang River, one moment rushing through the green rapids, the other moment breaking through the still water that was as purple as a dream, and the other time sliding back into the swamp as red as blood-every time the bamboo artemisia was lifted, a string of red blood beads slipped on it--without saying a word all the way, then Ah San drove the boat to turn west. The man in the cloak only felt that he was circling in circles. However, it was less than half an hour. The ship has already docked on the west bank.

Lei Leopard jumped off the ferry first, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. That Xiao Dong said: "Lei Leopard, you go to the front to explore." Ah San, please bring our horses up. ”

Na Ah San's face was unwilling, but he still led the horse ashore, seeing that he was out of the water, swaying slightly on the land, and standing with his neck stretched out like a goose. It's a little cramped and uneasy, as if it can't walk.

"Ah San, you have also seen this person. If someone asks you, what do you say? Xiao Dong didn't stretch out his hand to take the reins, but said to Ah San with a straight face.

Ah San was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Huang ...... No, Luo Ye's guest, how dare I talk nonsense. ”

Xiao Dong didn't give up, his face sank like a piece of iron: "What if they catch your women and children and want to blackmail you." ”

Na San's face changed. When he was about to answer, his mouth opened twice. But he couldn't speak.

"Don't blame me for coaxing you ashore, when you get into the water, I'm afraid I'll let you run away." Xiao Dong said, slowly pulling out the snake-shaped sword.

It's like a butterfly flying by, and the phosphorus on its wings flashes twice in the sun. Xiao Dong smiled and patted Ah San's shoulder, and the sword in his hand was retracted into its sheath like a snake.

The young man screamed and wanted to jump into the water, but Xiao Dong only moved one step, and the young man still jumped into the water - the lower half of his body remained in the boat, and the two thin feet flipped over, allowing people to see the wrinkled soles of the feet that were blistered by the water.

The man in the cloak looked at the sword in Xiao Dong's hand, as if he was looking at a live snake, every time Xiao Dong's hand moved, the sword light was like a giant snake spitting out a letter, and in an instant, with a "ding" sound, it retracted back into the sheath.

The woman stood up on the boat, her pretty body straight. Her face was pale, her hands clutching the child in her arms, her knuckles turning white from the exertion.

Xiao Dong didn't look at her, just leaned on his sword. The leopard returned, and stood on the hillock on the shore, looking at the growing bloodstains in the river, and pressed the handle of the axe but said nothing.

Xiao Dong tilted his head to look at the moonlight. "It's getting late, we have to go." He said.

The woman's body trembled, and she wailed, "This kid can't speak yet." ”

"This is natural," Xiao Dong said, he slowly drew his sword, "Don't worry, Luo Ye will take care of her." ”

His sword shone blue, and there was never blood on it.

Xiao Dong threw the bodies of the three people into the river, but the crying girl put it on the boat, stuffed a small piece of broken silver in her arms, turned around and led the horse, and went first.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Good Luo Ye, is this how to take care of the poor people who follow him?" ”

The three of them were taken aback, and immediately stood back to back, each on guard, but they looked around, but there was no one to speak.

"Who's pretending to be a ghost there? Come out to Lao Tzu! The big man roared, threw a cylinder into the air with a raised hand, and then pushed the two of them, and the three of them hid behind a big rock together.

The cylinder was thrown very high for the big man, and when it fell down in the air, the hidden mechanism opened, opened a small umbrella, and the cylinder slowed down, followed by a flash of red light, and exploded in the sky.

Accompanied by the light of fire and gunsmoke, I saw countless iron nails shooting out like a torrential rain, making a seeping sound, and the cry of the girl stopped abruptly.

Several iron nails hit the boulder that the three of them used as cover, and suddenly sparks erupted, and the stone chips flew wildly, and all three of them bowed their heads and did not dare to lift them.

Soon, the iron nail was shot, and Lei Leopard just raised his head, only to see a red line shooting straight towards his huge head, and at this time, the giant axe in his hand happened to cover his face, only to hear "Bang!" A gunshot and a "ding! With a thud, the bullet flew away, and a scar appeared on the steel axe.

"You Nanami Gang really deserve to come from the Sea of Japan, and even the ninja weapons will be modified." The voice rang out again.

By the light of the moon, the three of them could see clearly that several masked people had appeared on the mound in the distance.

In the hands of these people, they all held a black round steel shield.

"Sure enough, it's them, only the subordinate surnamed Lin will use this kind of Qimen blade and Western musket." The man in the cloak said in a deep voice, "It seems that they have already calculated that we are going to come here, and they have set up an ambush here." ”

Xiao Dong's face changed, he just saw clearly, there were more than ten people in black, all of them were holding steel shields, and the "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flower Nails" just now did not kill or injure any of them, only left a starry mark on the steel shield in their hands.

"Lei Leopard ......" Before Xiao Dong could finish speaking, Lei Leopard suddenly shook his head. He said coldly: "You don't need to say it - you want to take the rank of general in the million-strong army." Naturally, you have to do it; If you want to be a husband. If 10,000 people come, they will be against 10,000 people, and if 1,000 people come against 1,000 people, then I must not do it. Go first. ”

After saying this, he crouched down again, silent, and just looked at his feet alone. His muscles bulged on his back and arms, and the dragon emblem on his arm seemed to burn, and the snowflakes on his shoulders melted. Turned into a few snowy streams and slid down.

There was a sudden commotion in the distance, and Xiao Dong looked up and saw a team of torches winding in, and the blood-red poisonous juice went up the veins.

"Let's go!" As soon as Lei Leopard's words fell, several more shots came from the opposite side, hitting the boulders and stirring up a large area of stone chips flying wildly.

Xiao Dong knows that he has a reckless personality and doesn't like to talk, but once he makes up his mind, he can't change it.

"Okay, Thunder Leopard. If you stay alive, we'll see you in the city. Xiao Dong shook his hands. No more repetitions.

He turned his head to look at the man in the cloak, his eyes were shining, and the fire was reflected in it, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he said lightly: "Abandon the horse, let's go." ”

"Let's go? As soon as you go out like this, you have to shoot people indiscriminately, right? The man in the cloak sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Leopard roared, straightened up sharply, and rushed towards the people in black.

There were bursts of explosions in the direction of the city in the distance, and the officers and soldiers holding torches were obviously shocked, and the fire snake actually hesitated and stopped moving forward, looking at the rising firelight, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Dong's mouth.

"Dog court! If you don't give us a way to live, don't think about your life! ”

The sound of roaring and shouting, screaming, gunfire and metal collision came, and Xiao Dong knew that Lei Leopard had already exchanged hands with the enemy, so he should go first and never look back. The man in the cloak didn't say anything, just followed closely behind him. That Xiao Dong lowered his head and gritted his teeth, running with all his might, knowing that every minute and every second was exchanged for Lei Leopard's life.

They quickly engulfed the roar and metal crash behind them in the wind behind them.

Finally, nothing could be heard.

Shanhaiguan, Ye Zhichao's military camp.

"What the hell is going on today?" Ye Zhichao watched
