At first glance, it sounds like the whistle of one powerful bow, but in fact, it is the sound of four bows. Because the timing is perfectly timed, it sounds like only one sound.
From the top of the four tall buildings facing each other on both sides of the bridge, four powerful arrows slanted down more than a hundred feet like lightning flashes, and when the lingering sound of Huan Huan's screams still lingered in their ears, they struck at the chest and stabbed at the two people.
Greeted attentively.
Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!
Kou Zhong and Bafeng Han wielded their swords and put their backs against the backrest, knocking away the four arrows that came from behind.
The sound of swords and arrows clashing resounded across the Tianjin Bridge, which spans more than 130 steps across Luoshui.
The four arrows shot away and flew towards Luohe River.
Kou Zhong felt the tiger's mouth numb and he was shocked and said to Ba Fenghan, who was leaning back: "Who's arrow skills are so powerful? There are four of them."
Ba Fenghan looked solemnly at Hanhan, who had a beautiful face, and replied in a low voice: If I guessed correctly, it was the Tiele master who was known as the Iron Arrow Guard under the Tiele throne. Unexpectedly, he had arrived in the Central Plains.
Kou Zhong was shocked. They had already fought so hard while standing on the ground. If they were jumping in the air, the situation would be even more dangerous. If there was only one person on the other side, they could dodge by relying on the ability of quick ventilation given by He Shibi. But when four arrows came down,
And it is unknown whether the opponent can be blocked by a great expert in this way.
Huanwan smiled sweetly and said: These four arrows are just a greeting gift, but the fun is yet to come.
A burst of laughter came from the other side of the bridge opposite Huanwan.
It was in that direction that Kou Zhong was facing that he saw a man and a woman emerging from the bridge. One of them was Tuoba Yu, Bi Xuan's direct disciple with a strange aura hanging from his waist.
Standing next to him is Chunyu Wei. Hanging on her waist is the slightly curved waist knife that the Turks love to use. It is most suitable for killing enemies on horseback. The expression on her face seems to be angry but not angry, but also has a look of helplessness, staring at Kou faintly.
Zhong.
Tuoba Yu first bowed to Kou Zhong and said with a smile: "I have no choice but to join forces with others to deal with Brother Kou this time. Last time in Xiangyang, I gave you good advice not to go with the thief Ba Fenghan, but it's a pity that Brother Kou couldn't listen."
.However, I still care about our friendship and have not intervened so far. If Brother Kou leaves immediately, I and my junior sister will not stop him.
Kou Zhong secretly sighed in his heart that although Tuoba Yu had a weird appearance, he was definitely not a bad guy and was quite rich. Now he had to fight with his life and death, which is heartbreaking to think about. He said dejectedly: Brother Tuoba and the notorious Yin
Aren't the Gui faction afraid of damaging the reputation of the respected master by joining forces?
Chun Yuwei frowned and said displeasedly: "Why are you so stubborn? The original purpose of our trip to the Central Plains is to escort the thieves back to the Turks. Who else is in the mood to take care of it? The thieves are the most abominable. I intercept him every time."
You tried your best to run away and almost pissed me off to death?
What else can Kou Zhong say? Ba Fenghan has him and Xu Ziling as partners, and Tuoyu Yu’s side can’t do anything to him. The only way is to join forces with a powerful sect like the Yingui Sect to have the possibility of completing the task.
Ba Fenghan, who was behind Kou Zhong, said softly: I guessed wrong! The archers on the four tall buildings should not be Tie Le's Iron Arrow Guards but the Turkic masters who had been personally directed by Bi Xuan.
Kou Zhong immediately changed his expression and asked in a deep voice: How many are there?
This time, accompanying Tuoba Yu's brother and sister to the Central Plains, it turned out that there were eighteen hussars trained by Bi Xuan himself. They were skilled in group battles and sieges. They were all brave and brave. So even if Ba Fenghan met them with tyranny, he would not be able to defeat them.
There is only one way to escape.
However, after many battles, Ba Fenghan killed some of the eighteen escorts and wounded them, so Kou Zhong only asked this question.
Ba Fenghan smiled bitterly and said: There should be twelve archers instead of four.
Kou Zhong's body trembled and he realized why Huan Huan was confident and not afraid of them slipping away.
As long as other archers are as good as the four people who shot just now, they will only become fat geese under the arrows of hunters when they leap into the air. They can't help but regret running to the Tianjin Bridge.
This is a carefully laid trap.
Looking up from their point of view, they cannot see the building. The enemy can clearly see their strengths and weaknesses without telling them.
What's more, there are two large ships outside the bridge railings on the left and right sides that don't look like they will have any good luck.
Ba Fenghan continued: Why do they still seem to be stalling for time?
Kou Zhong's expression changed again and he felt that the situation before him was not as simple as a vendetta on the surface.
The lights on both sides suddenly turned on, and more than ten lanterns were burning at the same time on the two large ships that were originally dark.
At a glance, the two of them couldn't help but gasp, knowing that unless the gods appeared or Ning Daoqi, Shi Feixuan and others joined forces to save them, they would never leave with their lives.
The two large boats on the left and right began to leave the embankment and move to the center of the river. They formed a dragnet with the Tuobayu brothers and sisters at the north and south bridgeheads and the twelve hussars in the four high-rise buildings of Hanhan.
※※※
At this time, Xu Ziling sneaked to the west Luo embankment of Tianjin Bridge and watched more than ten strong men on the shore pulling the big ship to the center of the river with cables and fixing it.
As an outsider, he had a clearer grasp of the situation than Kou Zhong and Ba Fenghan. He knew that all the enemy's arrangements were to prevent them from escaping through Luoshui.
That is the only quick way to escape.
Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate to slide into the river.
※※※
There were more than a dozen people sitting or standing on the observation decks of the left and right ships, all looking like people watching a monkey show, staring coldly at Ba Fenghan and Kou Zhong, whose delicate features were illuminated by the lights.
In addition to the big man holding the lantern, there were also more than a dozen well-dressed men on the ship with bows and arrows, forming a pattern that would not allow them to escape.
Under normal circumstances, even if you add the Turkic sharpshooters on the high buildings, they still won't be able to do anything to the Bakou two.
However, if they want to break out while fighting against masters such as Huanwen, the archers located at high altitudes in all directions and on the left and right sides of the river will pose a fatal threat to them.
The only two escape routes left are the north and south bridgeheads.
Benedict!
From the western ship's lookout, there was a dull sound of a stick hitting the ground, and everyone's ears were ringing.
You Chuhong, known as the number one master of the Dugu Clan, was sitting safely on the lookout. Two rays of light in Taishi's eyes crossed the river about six feet away and fell on the bridge where they were. There was an unpleasant sound coming from the jasper staff in his right hand.
Xiaoxiao, who had a thick guttural voice, coughed dryly before shouting coldly in her hoarse voice: Where is Ba? Did you two do anything to him?
Behind her stood more than a dozen men and women, tall and short. The most eye-catching one was the beautiful Dugu Feng. The only one Kou Zhong recognized was Dugu Ce. They were all dressed in gorgeous clothes. It seemed that they must be masters of the Dugu clan.
They alone are enough to take care of two people.
On another ship far opposite to the Dugu Valve, there were only ten Turks named Tuli. However, everyone's eyes were bright and it was obvious that they were masters, but none of them was a woman. Of course, Badel was not among them.
Ever since Tuo Bayu and Chun Yuwei appeared, they had already guessed that the tornado would be a part of Tuli.
Two of the men he brought with him were known to Kou Zhong, namely the double-gun general Yan Lihui and the fierce lion Mu Tiexiong.
These two people conspired with Li Mi and Zu Junyan to kidnap Zhai Jiao, and then plotted against Zhai Rang in the deserted village, so that Zhai Rang would be killed.
At this time, Tuli's eyes showed a look of joy and he laughed and said: Why should the old lady worry? As long as we can capture these two boys and make them kowtow to their mothers, it can be done with just one sentence.
Koo Zhong, who was on the bridge, gasped and whispered to Ba Fenghan behind him: It seems that this is the conspiracy of the Tiele people that Fu Qian was referring to.
Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of robes coming from the other side. Four people came rushing towards him. The leader was Fei Ying Qu Ao, followed by his three apprentices Chang Shumou, Hua Lingzi and Geng Ge Huer.
The four of them came to stand behind Hanhan and remained silent, as if they were convinced.
All escape routes, whether in the air, on the ground, or on the river, have been blocked, forming a dragnet that makes it difficult to fly.
Only then did the two realize that the enemies representing the four powerful forces had already made a secret agreement to jointly deal with the three of them, and rescuing Fu Junyu was just the trigger for the situation at hand.
Since leaving Ren En's secret nest, their whereabouts have fallen under the enemy's surveillance. When they learned that they were heading towards Tianjin Bridge, they mobilized all parties and decided to intercept them in this well-connected traffic.
Now they were finally forced into a desperate situation with no other possibility except fighting to the death. This was something they had never expected.
Huanwan's melancholy beautiful eyes showed a complicated expression and she sighed quietly: There is no more business for the slave family here. Seniors, please take care of it! The slave family still has important matters to deal with.
Tu Li saluted and said: Sister Huan, please give me a chance. I hope I can get closer to Sister Huan.
Just by looking at his expression, you can tell that he is deeply moved by Huanwan's beauty.
In fact, all the men present looked fascinated by her.
Huanwan took a deep look at Ba Fenghan and Kou Zhong and sighed: Brother Ba, brother Kou, take care of them!
Out of sight.
Although the two of them thought that she was going to pursue Xu Ziling, they couldn't protect themselves and could only watch her leave.
Qu Ao took three steps forward to where Huan Huan was just now, lifted up the hem of his robe and tied it to his belt, looked up to the sky and smiled:
Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Let me, Qu Ao, come today to clear up the hatred of killing your son. Kou Zhong asked me to see what other skills you have besides running away.
Kou Zhong came out from behind Ba Fenghan, slapped Jing Zhongyue on the back and said with a big smile: Old man Qu really has the guts, but I wonder if others will help you if you lose to me alone?
Tuli on the right laughed dumbly and said: It is true that an ignorant person dares to speak ravings even when he is about to die. Master, please take action immediately and wait for me to see if his knife is as hard as his mouth.
Just these few words can tell that Tu Li is very clever and scheming. Because if Qu Ao is allowed to answer by himself, no one can interfere due to his status. At that time, if someone is not good and Kou Zhong can do it, both sides will suffer, and others will have to intervene.
There is a problem with He Xiangbang.
But Tu Li's words not only took into account Qu Ao's face but also blocked Kou Zhong's words. Chang Shumou smiled smugly behind Qu Ao and said: "Brother Kou, is he really a fool or is he a fake fool? Isn't this the same as the ordinary Jianghu?"
It's a duel as usual. You two dear friends are traitors who can be punished by everyone. Why should you use any etiquette or rules?
Although he smiled, everyone could tell that he was so resentful towards the two of them that even the water from all rivers and lakes could not wash them away.
Kou Zhong smiled casually, first glanced at Ba Fenghan, whose face was as cold as a rock, and then looked around at the many powerful enemies who had surrounded them. Finally, his eyes fell on Qu Ao and he was surprised: Didn't Master Qu have a date with that curly bearded man?
Is there a martial arts competition in Zishi? What time is it now? Don’t delay due to injury or death so that uninformed people will think that Master Qu is timid!
Everyone, including You Chuhong, secretly admired Kou Zhong's courage. Who else could have imitated him in such a situation where he was the target of public criticism and knew that he would inevitably be spared?
state?
After all, Qu Ao is a master-level figure. At this critical moment of the decisive battle, he is not at all offended by the other party's cynicism. He leisurely steps forward and smiles: Will it take half an hour to deal with you? Let's do it!
A fierce momentum immediately surged out.
Kou Zhong's spine was slightly bent, and his eyes shot out a shining light, focusing on Qu Ao like a leopard watching the approach of its prey.
The stars and the moon in the sky are shining brightly under the bridge. The Luoshui River is flowing under the bridge. This is supposed to be a beautiful and clear night. The Tianjin Bridge across the Luoshui River connecting the north and south of the Eastern Capital is covered with thick clouds of war.
The flames of war are imminent.
※※※
Xu Ziling followed the river bed and dived under the boat where Dugu Valsa was driving the boat, hesitating in his heart.
For masters like You Chuhong and Dugu Feng, just digging hard into the bottom of the boat might arouse the opponent's alert, let alone making a hole in the bottom of the boat.
But it's not impossible.
He stretched out his palms and pressed them against the bottom of the boat, unable to stop himself from accumulating his true energy.
I can't help but feel nervous in my heart. Although the Zhenqi palm power is often described as being sharper than a knife blade, it is still unknown whether it can really cut like a knife blade, especially if it targets a solid hull.
After years of study, encounters and practice, he has reached a state where he can control the strength of the true energy in his body, and he can freely move it in any direction, from fast to slow or even to full force.
But I never thought about controlling the hard, soft and sharp state of the true energy.
When confronting an enemy, he can use the combination of fingertips, fists, and palms to adapt to the situation, but he has never tried to use his true energy in another form.
Of course, with his current level of cultivation, he could blast a huge hole in the bottom of the boat or pierce the bottom of the boat with the tip of his palm, but this would definitely not be able to hide it from the top experts on the boat. Then the trick would not be effective.
At this time, his body was filled with explosive energy, and Xu Ziling gritted his teeth and spiraled.
The energy that was originally masculine and fast became soft and slow, and the energy was emitted from both palms to cover the nearly six-foot-wide bilge with the two palms as the core.
The core part actually dented in response to the palm, but there was no sound of breaking or breaking.
Xu Ziling also didn't expect that such a situation would happen, so he subconsciously stretched out his fingers to poke at the concave part. His fingers were as if they were inserted into a ball of flour.
Xu Ziling himself was shocked. He didn't expect his inner strength to be so powerful.
Retracting his finger left a deep finger-shaped hole, but it had not yet been penetrated because the hull was quite thick.
He was about to add some hands and feet when he felt the wood powder in the depressions melting down layer by layer.
When your heart calls you wonderful, warning signs suddenly appear.
The waves of undercurrents indicate that there is some kind of man-made activity going on in the river.
Xu Ziling felt awe-struck in his heart.
Could it be that even though you are so determined, you still can't hide it from your enemies?
※※※
Although Kou Zhong pretended to be fighting a tough battle, he spoke in a low voice and asked Ba Fenghan, who was standing against the railing behind him on the left, "Which side?"
Of course Ba Fenghan understood what he meant but could only smile bitterly in return.
The enemy force is so strong that the only way is to break out and escape, but which side to choose to escape is the most difficult question to decide.
On the surface, it seems that the South Bridgehead guarded by the Tuoba Yu brothers and sisters is the weakest, but it may also be a trap.
Ba Fenghan looked at one of the tall buildings and saw a shrunken figure and replied in a deep voice: Luoshui!
Kou Zhongtou expressed his agreement, and with a clang, he pulled out the moon from the well and went to greet Qu Ao, who was about three feet away. Ba Fenghan shouted coldly at this moment: Qu Ao, when did you become the eagle dog of the Turks?
Even with Qu Ao's sophistication, he was a little stunned by this extremely harsh remark, and his aura immediately weakened by two points. You must know that the Turks are powerful and Tie Le is weak, so it is reasonable and reasonable for the Tie Le people to surrender to the Turks. It is precisely because of Ba Fenghan's words.
The words triggered Qu Ao's association in this regard, and his momentum was weakened.
Without waiting for anyone to have a chance to reply, Ba Fenghan crossed Kou Zhong's sword and struck at Qu Ao with thunderous force.
There were angry screams all around and all the enemies rushed to help. Ba Fenghan changed the entire situation with just one trick.
The more chaotic the situation, the more chances they have to escape.
※※※
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Ziling's scalp went numb and he thought he was lucky.
It turned out that the enemy was spreading two large nets full of barbs on the river below the left and right sides of the Tianjin Bridge. They were floating about half a foot below the water's surface. It would be strange if Kou Zhong and Ba Fenghan jumped into the river and were not captured alive.
Governor Xu Ziling should not be too late to dive into the net from the bottom of the river to the Gaihe River.
