Chapter 1316: Counterattack(1/2)

 Dang! Dang! Dang!

……

After taking the initiative to avoid twice in a row, Chen He stopped dodging blindly and began to swing his sword to receive the attack.

It works hard once, then fails again, and finally exhausts itself.

The momentum and strength that Sheng Qiyi had accumulated from his rapid attack had been exhausted. Although with his own divine power and the thickness of the giant tower, his strength was still far superior to that of Chen He, there was no need to give way anymore.

If you give in any more, you will be wasting your momentum.

In just a few breaths, the two sides collided dozens of times at lightning speed. It was obvious that Chen He was at an absolute disadvantage in the duel, and his foot plate could hardly stay on the ground.
p>

However, this also made his figure a little more agile and changeable, and he repeatedly seized opportunities to threaten Shengqi's vital points.

The first priority of the Thunder Sword is naturally "power", which means it moves like thunder and is about to explode at the first touch, but speed is also its strength.

As for Shengqi, he can be called a flexible and strong man in this aspect, but that is just compared with ordinary masters, and he is a little less interesting than Chen and him, so naturally he can be easily caught.

However, this only balances the balance of victory between the two sides to a certain extent, and is not enough to determine the final result.

On the other side, the battle between Tian Heng and Sword Master Shengxie has entered a fierce stage.

Tian Heng's marksmanship skills are different from those of Chen He in the past, but they are closer to his swordsmanship skills now, and he uses the Explosive Swift Style.

The spear dances with a rainbow-like momentum, like a black dragon descending into the world, sweeping everything!

He saw endless black shadows of guns in the forest, wreaking havoc at will, and even a whole forest was left bare by him!

And the Master of the Victory Evil Sword is like an oil lamp in the strong wind in the light of the spear that fills the sky. His energy is like a gossamer and may be blown out at any time.

However, he is immortal.

The green Shengxie sword light is different from Tian Heng's spear light. The latter is in sheets and curls, almost filling the entire battlefield, while the former is like a will-o'-the-wisp, dotted here and there, like weeds on the roadside.

It exists tenaciously.

Every appearance of the Shengxie Sword Light represents a surprise attack on Tian Heng's vital point, and also represents the interruption of Tian Heng's decisive offensive against the Master of the Shengxie Sword.

However, when all is said and done, Tian Heng is still in an absolutely dominant position, and Master Shengxie Sword Master is just barely supporting himself.

To put it simply, as long as Tian Heng does not make many consecutive big mistakes, the victory will definitely be his, and as long as Shengxie Sword Master makes one mistake, the battle will be over.

………………

On the official road outside Songhai City.

A cargo carriage was driving on a flat road, followed by several people on horseback, who seemed to be escorting it.

Judging from logic, this team is a bit strange.

It is not easy to do business these days. Although the world is unified and the empire has always pursued an iron-fist policy, special professions such as bandits and bandits still emerge in endlessly.

In places where the empire has stronger control, such as the Land of Sanfu, or Hexi and Hedong, the situation is better.

But Jingchu, Qilu, Liaodong... Liaodong is not included. Those places are poor and poor, and no one goes there to rob. However, the first two are indeed popular areas, especially the prosperous land of Qilu.

If local officials were more responsible and more diligent in suppressing bandits, the situation would be a little better. If they are irresponsible...then everyone will have their destiny.

Therefore, when a caravan travels, it must be escorted.

The business of escort bureaus is not yet popular these days, but martial arts sects will accept this kind of business, which is considered an important source of revenue for them - which is equivalent to the prototype of escort bureaus.

Generally speaking, the number of people in this escort team, depending on the value of the caravan's goods, ranges from ten or twenty to tens or hundreds. There are very few cases of hundreds, and most of them are around 20 people.

After all, they are all practitioners, and their skills are not comparable to that of ordinary bandits and bandits. If you want to steal meat from an escort of twenty people, you must have a team of at least fifty people.

It is difficult for a group of bandits to reach the size of fifty people - the pressure to survive is too great!

The profits from robbery are not stable after all.

Back to the topic, there are only a few people escorting this truck, which is a bit lacking.

At the same time, the quantity of goods for just one carriage is too small.

Putting the two doubts together, it can be said that they just barely wrote on their foreheads that they have a problem.

But... Speaking of which, they are lucky.

Originally, the area around Songhai had been repeatedly swept away by Meng Tian. After Fusu was assassinated, he intensified his efforts and expanded the scope. He wanted to kill all the wild boars and hyenas that were capable of hurting people.

In other words, there is basically no need to worry about personal safety when walking near Songhai.

However, their luck is not very good.

Meng Tian wiped out all the bandits, robbers and hooligans, but he hardly wiped out any of the anti-Qin forces with different ideas.

The sound of the waves is still there!

The premise that there is no need to worry about personal safety is that they are just ordinary people and they... happen not to be.

"Hey!



In the dense forest beside the road, there was a sudden explosion, and a burly figure jumped out of the forest, jumped high, and violently swung the huge hammer in his hand.

Under the hook of the chain, the sledgehammer flew out of the hand of the sledgehammer, drawing a full arc. After gathering enough strength, it hit the horse pulling the cart blankly.

The horse on the right was hit hard by this heavy blow, spurting blood and foam, and rolled over. At the same time, it also knocked down the other horse next to it. The carriage behind did not lose momentum and rolled over.
p>

At the same time, a cold light came silently from another direction, and the circular jagged flywheel that reflected the cold light deftly drew a curve in the air, and flashed away from the throats of the guards.
p>

The figure of Thief Zhi followed closely behind him, and with an afterimage, he flashed onto the overturned carriage. He arrived first, raised his two fingers, and caught the instant flywheel that was one step behind him.

Then the instant flywheel returned to the owner's hands, and the guards covered their throats and fell down with a whooshing sound.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

After the sledgehammer stopped the carriage, he immediately swung the sledgehammer again and made a semicircle, knocking down the horses that the guards were riding before they had time to run away.

In order to leave as few traces and clues as possible, they could not let go of anyone, including people and horses!

At this point, the combat phase is completed.

The sledgehammer took back the hammer and put it on his shoulder. He walked to the dead horses and carefully inspected the accessories used on them. He straightened up and nodded towards the bandits:

"Horses and harnesses are the exclusive standards of the imperial military."

"It seems that the information is correct. This merchant is disguised as someone from the imperial military!"

Thief Zhi jumped off the carriage, looked at the corpses of people and horses lying on the ground, raised his brows and smiled, and the instantaneous flywheel rotated at high speed on his fingertips:

"You have to pretend to be a businessman in your own home. It seems that the mission of this group of people... is very important!"

Even though he is as clumsy as a sledgehammer, he now knows the key.

He turned to look at the overturned carriage, "Their mission must be related to this!"

Robber Zhi leaned on the overturned carriage, grinned, raised his hand, flexed his fingers, and knocked on it twice:

"Hey! I hope the contents inside won't disappoint us!"

………………

Songhai City, General Mansion.

"What did you say!?"

Fusu, who was reading in the study, frowned when he heard the news reported by Meng Tian, ​​and blurted out an unbelievable rhetorical question.

This is the first time since he entered the city that he has lost his composure, and he has never been like this when he was assassinated.

The reason is of course that the news reported by Meng Tian was too bad.

The team responsible for secretly escorting the Black Dragon Scroll encountered an attack, and all personnel were missing. According to the limited traces at the scene, they should have all been killed.

Of course, the most important Black Dragon Scroll was also lost.

The Black Dragon File is simply a carrier for transmitting confidential information within the empire. There are several other types besides it.

However, the Black Dragon File is only used for the empire's top secrets. Under normal circumstances, it cannot leave Xianyang City at all. It is probably used to transmit top-secret military time reports between the emperor and the general during wartime, and it will only appear outside the imperial capital.<

/p>

Normally, it is impossible for Xianyang to send the Black Dragon Scroll to a remote city like Songhai, but the current situation is special. The eldest son of the empire, the prime minister, and the general are all here.

Therefore, this embarrassing situation has arisen, which has never happened before. No wonder Fusu is angry.

Meng Tian knelt on one knee, lowered his head, folded his hands above his head, and responded hurriedly:

"The general will not be able to do things well, please punish me!"

He did not try to make up for his merits by issuing a military order such as retrieving the Black Dragon Scroll, but chose to just throw it away and plead guilty, because he knew very well that if nothing unexpected happened, it would be impossible for him to get it back in a short time.
p>

The scene was so clean that it would probably take a lot of time just to determine which group of people did it, let alone the tracing process.
To be continued...
