Before Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling even touched the ground, arrows rained down from the sky towards them. It was obvious that except for the palace, the entire imperial city had quietly fallen under the control of Yu Wenhuaji and the rebels led by him.
These hundreds of powerful arrows were all ready to be fired. They were so fierce and accurate that even Ning Daoqi would have a hard time blocking them.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were horrified. Just when they were about to fall, they fiercely raised their Qi, pressed their four palms on the ground, and flew into the air again before touching the ground. Not only did they avoid the rain of arrows, but they also succeeded in throwing them at Among the trees in the imperial garden next to the palace.
After a burst of shouting, countless rebels with white ribbons on their heads came out of the forest and intercepted the two men.
In an instant, the two men were trapped in the enemy's formation and separated.
Outside the forest were full of torches, shouting for killing.
After Xu Ziling punched two people and knocked them down, he grabbed a long knife. His strong wrist sank, and the long knife was everywhere. A powerful force of knife energy came out of the front. Immediately, three people fell back and died on the spot.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Ziling jumped up a tree.
Outside the forest, people were everywhere chasing and fighting each other. There were fires and thick smoke coming out of several palaces, obscuring the sun and moon.
Under the illumination of the fire, the imperial city turned into a killing hell on earth.
Two of the better rebels chased up the tree and slashed Xu Ziling with their swords, causing blood to fall from the tree.
With the sound of powerful arrows, Xu Ziling had no time to find where Kou Zhong was. He jumped into the air and suddenly crossed a record-breaking distance of seven or eight feet, landing at the edge of Yulin.
More than a dozen rebels rushed over. Xu Ziling flashed forward to avoid being trapped in a fierce battle. The long sword in his hand flashed with lightning, and he slashed three times with unparalleled speed. Immediately, three more enemies fell to their death. Even he himself could not imagine who was behind him. So awesome.
Two spears attacked from behind. Xu Ziling didn't need to look back, he just swayed left and right based on his feeling and dodged the enemy spears in an instant.
Then he ducked and broke out.
A sharp scream came from about thirty feet to the left.
Xu Ziling recognized Kou Zhong's cry and knew that he was in danger. When his heart was shaken, he could no longer maintain the state of water and moon in the well, and immediately stabbed Xie Xia's vitals with a spear from a rebel who came out from behind.
The moment the tip of the spear touched his clothes, Xu Ziling came back to his senses, twisted his tiger body violently, and exerted his strength. The originally fatal spear slipped away, and could only tear through his clothes, leaving a bloody mark that ended on his back. .
Xu Ziling swung his long sword and struck the rebel in the face. With a loud shout, he passed over a dozen enemies and stood up, waiting for Kou Zhong's cry to come.
Under the cover of the fire, a group of more than thirty rebels were fighting around Kou Zhong. One of them was Yu Wen Zhiji. Every time he made a sword, Kou Zhong struggled to handle his spear, which gave others an opportunity to take advantage of.
Seeing that Kou Zhong was covered in blood and his steps were unsteady, Xu Ziling knew that he could not hold on for much longer. He shouted loudly, the man and the sword merged into one, and the sword skills were decisive. A sword light danced out and shot towards Yuwen Zhiji like a furious wave. .
Yuwen Zhiji was going to take Kou Zhong's life within two or three swords, and then went to find Xu Ziling. When he saw him coming to his door, he was overjoyed and let Kou Zhong go, and stood up to meet Xu Ziling.
Xu Ziling had already put his life and death on the line and had no fear in his heart.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
The two passed each other in the air and exchanged three moves.
When Yu Wenzhi and his sword touched Xu Ziling's long sword, he knew something was wrong. He felt the opponent's extremely hot zhenqi coming through the knife and attacking his meridians in an instant. His own ice mysterious energy seemed to give the opponent a mysterious and incomparable effect. The true energy is in conflict with nature and cannot be resisted.
Although his skill is not as good as Yu Wenji's, it is deeper than Xu Ziling's. With a breath of Qi, at least half of the opponent's invading energy was eliminated. With the sword in his right hand, he used an exquisite technique, swinging the long knife away and slashing Xu Ziling sideways.
neck, but the momentum is no longer as strong as before.
Xu Ziling was not afraid, he stretched his left palm flatly, moved from bottom to top with incomparable accuracy, and actually lifted his sword away without any discomfort.
A chill arose in Yuwen Zhiji's heart, and he understood why both Yuwen Chengdu and Yuwen Wudi had suffered great losses at the hands of these two men. However, his brother Yuwen Wenhuaji had given repeated orders that he would never allow the two of them to leave this place alive.
The wind suddenly sounded behind me.
Since the two were fighting in the air, Xu Ziling was already behind him.
Yu Wenzhiji wanted to get Xu Ziling's knife so fast that he was able to turn back the knife in time and slash his back. Yu Wenzhiji ignored the energy still surging in his body, gritted his teeth and turned around, blocking Xu Ziling's knife in time.
.
"Qiang!"
Yuwen Zhiji let out a miserable groan, spitting blood from his mouth, and was knocked backwards by Xu Ziling with his sword. His back hit the trunk of a big tree, causing more injuries, and then he fell to the ground.
Xu Ziling also felt uncomfortable. He was so excited by Yu Wenzhi and the counter-shock force that his meridians nearly burst and his five internal organs were bleeding. Fortunately, he had been injured many times and had experience. In the moment before landing, he tried his best to bring people back to life. This is from the magic secret of longevity.
The incomparable innate true energy has transformed Yuwen Zhiji's domineering Bingxuan energy.
"Peng!"
Xu Ziling fell heavily at Kou Zhong's feet.
In this kind of confrontation, both sides use their full strength to win and lose.
Kou Zhong had experienced Yuwen Zhiji's prowess, and thought Xu Ziling was dead. In a rage, he didn't know where the divine power came from, and he moved his spear left and right, causing the enemy to stagger around.
One person wanted to make a sneak attack from behind, but Kou Zhong spun around and fell to the ground ten feet away with a shower of blood. The others were frightened by his power, and without Yu Wenzhi and the guard, they retreated in shock.
Kou Zhong was spinning for a while, knowing that he had lost too much blood and energy, and was close to the stage of running out of oil. He let out a long sigh, thinking that the brothers were about to die at this moment. Xu Ziling jumped up and shouted: "Get on your back!"
Kou Zhong exclaimed with great joy, "What a boy!" He threw away his spear, threw himself on Xu Ziling's back, and bound his hands and feet tightly.
Xu Ziling's luck spurted out a puff of blood, and his chest became smooth again. He rushed up diagonally, first touched a branch that stretched out horizontally, then bounced up and threw it onto the tile back of a building more than ten feet away.
His movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water, all in one go. When the rebels were about to pursue him, he had already carried Kou Zhong on his back and disappeared behind the roof. His long smile came from far to near.
Yu Wenhuaji flew up in the air and shouted: "Where can I escape!"
When Xu Ziling heard Yu Wenhuaji's call, he knew that if he caught up with him, he would not be spared. He jumped down quickly, reached the patio where the palace eunuchs were lying, and rushed into the house.
Yu Wenhua didn't expect Xu Ziling to be brave enough to hide in the house, but he still tried his best to fly above and search for the two people elsewhere.
The sound of crying in the room was loud, and more than a dozen rebel soldiers were pushing several palace maids to the ground to commit the evil deeds of beasts.
Xu Ziling forgot about his own safety and slashed with all his strength to drive away the rebels, but the maids were also dying.
Another group of rebels swarmed in.
Xu Ziling secretly took a deep breath and broke out of the window with Kou Zhong on his back.
Kou Zhong moaned in his ear: "Pagoda!"
Xu Ziling understood and walked quickly towards the darkness.
At this time, most of the buildings in the palace were in flames, and all they encountered were rebels searching back and forth.
Xu Ziling used his escape skills, dashed high and low, and galloped towards the pagoda in the southeast corner. The rebels who met them had no idea where they were and were unable to pursue them.
At this time, Kou Zhong's breath was gradually weakening and his limbs were weak. Xu Ziling was so anxious that he hurriedly used the chest and back contact between the two parties to inject the true energy into Kou Zhong's body.
The pagoda is in sight.
A sudden cold snort came from behind.
The two recognized Yu Wenhuaji's voice and were both stunned.
Kou Zhong wanted to let go of his hands and feet so that Xu Ziling could escape alone, but he was hugged by Xu Ziling. He quickly moved sideways, avoiding Yu Wenhuaji's palm from the air, and then rushed into a burning palace.
Yu Wenhuaji has won a great victory and just killed his mortal enemy Dugu Sheng. Who is willing to accompany them on the adventure? He jumped to the top of the palace. He was just wondering when you would come out. It was the moment when your two boys died, but unexpectedly a ball of fire broke out.
But he rushed up from behind the palace.
Yu Wenhuaji took a closer look and saw that it was Kou Zhong who was holding a piece of burning wood and waving it hard. At first glance, he thought it was a ball of fire. He roared loudly and swung it with all his strength.
Kou Zhong got Xu Ziling's input of zhenqi, which could complement his internal strength, and recovered part of his strength. He turned around and laughed when he saw this:
"It's a good time for you, Yuwen Gu Gu!"
He raised his right hand and used his luck to force out fire particles. Tens of thousands of flames and hot particles rushed towards Yu Wenhuaji like a rain.
If it was just fire flakes, Yu Wenhua and Zi Wen could bear it, but it still contained the true energy from Kou Zhong, which was another matter. If his appearance was damaged for this, even if he killed them, the gain would outweigh the loss. He sighed secretly.
, move sideways.
Taking advantage of this delay, the two of them ran into the bamboo forest under the pagoda.
When the two of them passed each other, anger arose.
Yu Wenhua was so angry that his orifices were filled with smoke. He knew it was Kou Zhong who set the fire casually to prevent him from pursuing him. He hurriedly used Xuan Gong and rushed into the forest before the fire was strong. Little did he know that the wind was high and dry these days, and Kou Zhong deliberately
He waved the fire stick and sprinkled fire flakes. The fire followed the wind, and the wind assisted the fire. In an instant, the large bamboo forest burned with a "cracking" sound, which made Yu Wenji have to take a roundabout route and enter the forest.
The biggest headache for him was that the burning bamboo forest sent out a lot of thick smoke, which made him completely unable to grasp the position of the two of them. Suddenly, laughter came from above, and Kou Zhong shouted: "Yu Wenguang, you stinky head."
I'll leave it to you for safekeeping for now, but be careful! Don't let others take it without us taking action."
The sound of piercing the sky immediately sounded, and when Yu Wenhuaji screamed in his heart, the moat outside the imperial city wall made a splash. When Yu Wenhuaji rushed to the top of the wall, the moat under the firelight was as smooth as a mirror, and the two of them had disappeared without a trace.
Looking back, I saw that the entire imperial city was engulfed in flames, and the thick smoke covered the starry night.
※※※
"Hunjun is dead!"
The whole river was boiling.
The fire in the imperial city dyed half of the sky in this big city blood red.
From time to time, rebels would gallop through the streets, shouting, "The Hunjun is dead!"
Some people were so scared that they found a place to hide, while others set off firecrackers to celebrate. The young and strong people rushed to the imperial city to find Yang Guang's body, hoping to burn him to vent their anger, or hoping to distribute him at the hands of the rebels.
Get some remnants of the treasure left by the Hunjun.
The official granaries were smashed and looted.
The rebels even took the opportunity to enter people's houses, rape, plunder, and clash with the residents. The entire city of Yangzhou fell into chaos, and Yu Wenhua and others could not control it.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling tried their best to climb up from the moat and head towards the waterway from the outer city.
Groups of mobs on the street were gathering together with clubs, swords and guns. As soon as they saw the Sui soldiers who were left alone, they rushed to take action, completely ignoring whether they were the heroes who killed the unlucky emperor, which showed their deep hatred for the Sui soldiers and the government. .
Xu Ziling supported Kou Zhong as he struggled to walk on the street, squeezing through the crowds of onlookers enjoying the fun.
There was a burst of applause and cheers. It turned out that a group of more than 20 Sui soldiers were dragged off their horses and beaten half to death.
Kou Zhong groaned and said: "This section of the river is really hard to endure. I have lost all my energy. My whole body is floating, as if I have no strength. Hey! You kid has no injuries, why are your steps so buoyant?"
Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said, "I have the nerve to say that you are such a heavy boy. I don't know how hard it is to carry it."
Kou Zhong knew that he was overdrawn too much, so he coughed and laughed hard and said: "You kid really knows how to joke, alas! This trip will not harm the bones of Yuwen culture, but almost lose your life. It is really unlucky."
Xu Ziling took a look at the chaos around him and found that a fire had just broken out in a house in the west suburb of the city, and said in a deep voice:
"You can't even get much advantage from Yuwen Culture. How can it be easy to conquer this mess? Don't forget that both dad and Li Zitong are eyeing this place!"
Kou Zhong's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground, thanks to Xu Ziling, who was also exhausted, holding him on.
The two staggered for a few steps, but finally couldn't hold on any longer, so they moved to a side alley and sat down against the wall.
The two of them took a breath for a while, and Kou Zhong said: "The waterway may not be safe. Maybe the bones of Yuhua are waiting for us to fall into our trap."
At this time, a group of more than a hundred rebels came and attacked. As soon as they saw the person holding the weapon, they started to kill. They cried loudly and everyone scrambled to dodge. However, it seemed that it was not an organized action, but the rebels. Spontaneous acts of revenge.
Seeing the people running in front of him in embarrassment and escaping to the other end of the alley, Kou Zhong cheered up and said: "I can guarantee that all the city gates have been opened. I don't believe that there were no Sui soldiers who didn't take the opportunity to escape."
Xu Ziling tried his best to gather his true energy, but was unable to succeed. He secretly thought that even if he met ordinary Sui soldiers, he would suffer disaster, and sighed:
"So what if the door is opened? Do we have the strength to walk? How are your injuries?"
Kou Zhong said with a smile: "After you leave the city, ask me, Mr. Zhong, to strip off your clothes and count the wounds on your body. Keeping them will scare you. Fortunately, I have profound skills and the wounds can heal and stop bleeding on their own. Otherwise, I would just bleed to death." .The most powerful one was Yu Wenzhi and that bastard’s sword, which pierced my body-protecting energy, but I also kicked him in return, otherwise you could have knocked him down, so thank me."
Xu Ziling laughed heartily and said: "You are unwilling to admit defeat until you die. If it weren't for me, you would have turned into meat paste."
Kou Zhong laughed wildly with him for a while, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Why can we be so happy when we have been completely defeated and now it is uncertain whether we will live or die?"
Xu Ziling peeked into the dark street. The chaotic street just now became as quiet as a ghostland. Only the screams and cries continued to be heard in the distance. He took a breath and said: "The reason is very simple, because we You are still young and have a lot of good life ahead of you. As long as you don't die, you can find Yuwen Huagu to settle all the old debts later."
Koo Zhong showed a thoughtful look, then stood up unsteadily against the wall, and said decisively: "Even if I have to crawl, I have to crawl to the outskirts now. If I don't leave now, I may never be able to leave."
