chapter seventy eight
Boom!
Fireworks aloft burst into dazzling light in the dark night.
In this era, arrows, fireworks, and even smoke were generally used as signals to remotely notify people of news.
In the wilderness, when Song Qingshu and other Wudang disciples saw the fire exploding in mid-air, the team stopped instantly.
"Senior brother has sent a signal! All junior brothers! Follow me and fight back!"
Song Qingshu gave the order, and everyone in Wudang immediately turned back and killed Zhuangzi.
The few spies who were secretly following and monitoring them had no time to turn around and escape far before they were chased by Song Qingshu and Zhang Wuji and killed with swords!
Not long after, Song and Zhang led the Wudang disciples to fight back, and a chaotic battle broke out in Ji's village.
Lu Zhi took the lead and led his men directly into the backyard of the inner palace, preparing to rescue Ji Yun's family members first.
Facing the sudden attack by the Wudang disciples, the masters of Ruyang Palace who were responsible for guarding Ji Yun's family were completely defeated in an instant.
Although the disciples of the third generation of Wudang are mostly the younger generation and not too old, they have all learned Wudang magical skills, so their kung fu is naturally good.
In addition, everyone cooperated with a simplified version of the Zhenwu Seven Sections Formation, how could those Jianghu disciples gathered from the Ruyang Prince's Palace be their opponents.
Lu Zhi, in particular, rushed into the enemy group with one man and one sword. In the flash of dazzling sword light, those people from the Ruyang Palace were no match for him. With the flash of sword light, they became the dead souls under his sword.
, is no match at all.
When they found that all the people could not match the power of Yuanhong in Lu Zhi's hands, those remaining people even wanted to take hostages to threaten Lu Zhi.
As a result, they were stabbed in the back by 'one of their own' before they even uttered the threat!
When they fell to the ground, those people had not yet reacted, and they still turned to look at the ugly tutu with disheveled hair in disbelief.
"Master Ku? Why?"
Then they saw Ku Toutuo, who was supposed to be mute, clasping his fists at Lu Zhi and saying loudly, "Young Master Lu, don't worry, I am Fan Yao, the right envoy of the Ming Cult of Light."
After hearing this, those people really refused to die with their eyes open!
Lu Zhi took a look at him. Lu Zhi actually already knew the identity of Ku Toutuo.
He responded with a salute: "Nice to meet you."
The two people who were not familiar with each other just held hands and said hello to each other. Fan Yao, who was also very good at talking, seemed to be worried that Lu Zhi still had concerns about him, so he directly directed Yuan Ting to him.
The arrangement was announced once.
Including the antidote to the Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Ointment in Ji Yun's family, the whereabouts of the escaped Emei Sect disciples, etc., they all received accurate information from him, which saved Lu Zhi a lot of trouble.
Fan Yao said: "By the way, Lu Shaoxia, in addition to these masters who have taken refuge in Ruyang Prince's Palace, Yuan Ting has also sent four entire hundred-man troops this time. If they find something wrong, they will come soon.
"
"So I think it's better for you Taoist priests to evacuate this place as soon as possible, so as not to be surrounded by Yuan Ting's army and find it difficult to escape."
Once the number of an army reaches a hundred, it will be difficult for even martial arts masters to match it. They will be furious on the spot. After all, how can one person be as powerful as an army of thousands?
Not to mention anything else, the army fired a volley, and the sky was filled with arrows. No matter how great your martial arts skills are, you can't resist the constant siege. After all, when the manpower is limited, the ants can kill the elephant to death.
And even if Lu Zhi has the strength to not be afraid of the siege by the army, his junior brothers cannot stop them. Once they are surrounded by the army, even if Lu Zhi can lead them to rush out, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, Fan Yao's suggestion is indeed not unreasonable.
Lu Zhi nodded, then turned to Song Qingshu and Zhang Wuji and ordered: "Qingshu, Wuji, go gather the disciples, take the women, children, old and young in the village, and evacuate together."
After giving instructions to the two of them, he then turned back to look at Fan Yao: "Envoy Fan, I wonder if I could trouble you to take me to meet those Emei disciples?"
The matter at the Ji family manor has been resolved, and the only ones left are the Emei disciples. They are still under the surveillance of the Yuan Ting side, and may be in danger at any time. Rescue must be carried out without delay.
Fan Yao had no objection. He himself had the idea of saving those Emei disciples as the right envoy of the Ming Cult if he had the opportunity, hoping that this could ease the tense relationship between the Ming Cult and the Emei Sect, and give them
Yuan Ting creates some enemies.
So when faced with Lu Zhi's invitation, he agreed without much thought. He wished that the whole world would turn against the Yuan court and join forces with the Ming religion to fight against the Yuan Dynasty and overthrow the Mongolian Yuan rule.
In the dark night, two figures quickly rushed across the ground, and soon arrived outside an abandoned mountain village, and the escaped Emei Sect disciples were hiding in this mountain village.
Due to the search by the army, these Emei disciples could not escape from Shu territory at all, so they could only find this abandoned mountain village to hide temporarily.
But they didn't know that the retainers of the Ruyang Prince's Mansion, led by the Eight Heroes of the Divine Arrow, were actually following them all the time, watching them closely!
If it weren't for the fact that they were also 'fishing bait' and still had value, they would have been caught in one fell swoop!
In the darkness, Yuanting's secret sentry saw someone coming towards their camp and immediately became vigilant.
"Who?!" the man asked in a low voice, raising his hand to rest on the hilt of the sword hanging on his waist.
"Ah!" The person who came appeared from the darkness. He was tall, with disheveled hair, and his face was covered with shocking scars. It was Fan Yao.
Seeing Fan Yao, the secret whistle immediately dropped his guard: "It's Master Ku, why are you here? Did you bring a souvenir from the princess?"
Fan Yao raised her hand and gestured, and walked up. Then she suddenly burst out, stretched out a hand to grab the Anshao's throat, and broke his neck with one blow!
"Young Master Lu, the secret sentry has been dealt with, you can show up now."
Lu Zhi's figure walked out from behind a big tree. He nodded to Fan Yao, and the two of them immediately set off to Yuan Ting's camp again.
Along the way, the two met a total of four secret sentries, which showed how vigilant these people were. However, with the presence of Fan Yao, these secret sentries were deceived by him, and then they suddenly got close and instantly killed them on the spot.
The two entered the camp easily.
Fan Yao is still in the light and Lu Zhi is in the dark.
After Fan Yao entered the camp, he went straight to find the Eight Heroes of the Divine Arrow who were in charge of the guests here. He lied to several people in sign language that Zhao Min had a secret letter to deliver to them, and lured them into the camp.
Then, the moment they stepped into the camp, they saw a dazzling sword light erupting like a silver waterfall. Before the few people walking in the front had time to react, their corpses were separated and spewed out.
The blood instantly dyed the camp red!
Fan Yao, who was walking at the back, also instantly pulled out the long sword in his hand, swiped the sword across the back of the person in front of him, then quickly changed his moves and stabbed the other person in the back of the heart!
In the blink of an eye, only one of the Eight Heroes of the Divine Arrow was left. The sudden change made him widen his eyes and subconsciously reached for the scimitar at his waist.
But Lu Zhi was faster than him. He had just put his hand on the hilt of the knife, but before he could pull it out, Lu Zhi had already slashed out another sword, instantly decapitating him!
In just two breaths, all the eight heroes of the Divine Arrow fell to the ground. They couldn't even fight back before they died!
Once the Eight Heroes of the Divine Arrow were eliminated, the remaining people naturally posed no threat to Lu Zhi and Fan Yao. The two of them swept through the camp with the power of thunder. Not long after, Yuan Ting arranged for them to be here.
