Xiao Muyun had the intention of killing Liu Gongwen, so how could he let him escape, so he led the pursuit without thinking. Lin Wanzhen and Arrow Guard did not dare to neglect, and followed suit.
Liu Gongwen, who was galloping more than a hundred feet south, dodged the arrows fired by Lin Wanzhen behind him, dodged to the right, and rushed towards the forest on the east slope of Jubao Mountain.
When Xiao Muyun jumped to follow up, there was a sound piercing the air, and a flying arrow shot five feet in front of her. She was stunned for a moment, and then she stopped.
Lin Wanzhen, who was blocked by the arrows, rushed to his side and said: "The Liu Thief looks defeated, but in fact he is using a strategy to lure the enemy deeper. He is afraid that we can respond in an open place with bows and arrows, so he rushes into the forest because he wants to
Use trees for cover..."
Xiao Muyun, who was eager for revenge, shook his head and said: "The narrowness of the forest is not conducive to the power of his sword moves. Although my cultivation level is inferior to his, I will be able to deal with him ten moves and eight moves. Then the junior sister and the arrow will
The guard can also take advantage of the cover of the trees and go around behind the trees to wait for an opportunity to attack..."
Lin Wan was really about to answer when she suddenly heard the sound of weapons clashing on the hillside. Then she saw a white shadow emerging from the sky about seven or eight feet away from the slope, stepping on the treetops and leaping down the mountain. But she saw that figure.
It was Liu Gongwen, Lin Wanzhen immediately took the arrow and shot it. With the sound of arrows, Liu Gongwen's body fell into the forest on the hillside again.
The suspicious Xiao Muyun regained his consciousness and rushed into the forest to lure him away. Unexpectedly, Liu Gongwen jumped out of the forest and struck straight at him with his sword. In desperation, Xiao Muyun paused and made a move of "Jade".
Pan Qianhao was used, and as the weapons met, a huge force came from the Jingjia. Xiao Muyun, who could not bear the force, took five steps back to stabilize his body.
Liu Gongwen didn't take advantage of the situation to attack, but moved diagonally to the southeast. But at this moment, a figure flew out of the forest like lightning, and jumped in front of Liu Gongwen among the lightning and flints, swinging his sword to attack.
As he came forward, Liu Gongwen paused and made a move to greet him. With the sound of "dang, dang", the person who came came started to fight with Liu Gongwen.
Xiao Muyun and Lin Wanzhen looked at each other and were greatly surprised. It turned out that the person who came was none other than Shen Liancheng, who Xiang Xiaotian had said would come to help within five days.
After Xiao Muyun recovered, Ji Jinghai and his wife would go to Moforget Island to visit everyone in the first month of every year. However, when they moved to Qingxin Temple in Hengshan, Chu Nanfeng and his wife did not want to involve Ji Jinghai in the Buddha's calamity.
Afraid that Ji Jinghai would not see anyone when he arrived, he and Xin decided to lie to Ji Jinghai and pretend to go back to Taibai Academy to stay.
Taibai Academy is more than two thousand miles away from Jiuhua Mountain, but because Xiang Susu and Ji Jinyu were tired from traveling back and forth, Ji Jinghai did not go to visit him, and he knew nothing about the actions of Chu Nanfeng and others.
Xiang Xiaotian, who was extremely kind to Xiao Tian, received a message from Xiao Muyun asking for help. Although he was suspicious that she was not looking for Chu Nanfeng, the reason why Mu Daocheng took action was because Ji Jinghai was in seclusion, but he also asked his servant to rush to Qianzhou.
, notified Shen Liancheng who was in Qianzhou to come to help.
However, Chizhou and Qianzhou are more than a thousand miles apart. It took nearly three days to get to Jiangning Mansion again and again. By the time Shen Liancheng arrived at the other courtyard of Xuanwu Lake, it was already three minutes later.
Fortunately, Manager Zhu acted thoughtfully. Although he did not know when Shen Liancheng would arrive, he left an arrow guard waiting in the other courtyard before he acted.
When Shen Liancheng heard the news and rushed to Jubao Mountain, he also entered from the west side of Jubao Mountain. With his eyesight, he also saw Xiao Muyun fighting with Liu Gongwen outside the east courtyard. When he was waiting to help, he saw Xiao Muyun.
Liu Gongwen fled quickly, so he went to the east hillside to watch. He saw Liu Gongwen rushing into the forest on the hillside, so he sneaked to stop him.
Although Liu Gongwen was not familiar with Shen Liancheng, he had heard about Shen Liancheng's name for a long time. Once they had a fight, he was able to identify him. Knowing that Shen Liancheng's cultivation was not inferior to his own, he climbed up the treetops and fled. He was shot with an arrow by Lin Wanzhen and fell into the forest.
But as Lin Wanzhen said, Liu Gongwen was constrained by the arrow guards taking advantage of him in the open area, so he wanted to lead Xiao Muyun and others into the forest to wait for an opportunity to attack and kill him. However, he did not expect that Shen Liancheng would appear to stop the killing. He really wanted to escape, and after forcing Xiao Muyun back with one move, he did not dare to take the opportunity to attack, but ran away.
He borrowed the power of the elixir to step into the great achievement of Bao Dan. Although his Qi was strong and powerful, it was not long-lasting. Shen Liancheng had been immersed in the great achievement of Bao Dan for many years. After five moves, he could clearly see where his weaknesses lay. Again. Knowing that Liu Gongwen's body-protecting Gang Qi can make him indistinguish between Yin and Yang, he will hit his long sword when he attacks, in an attempt to use the shock force to consume his true energy.
However, Shen Liancheng's cultivation level is not inferior to Liu Gongwen's, and his attack target is only his long sword. He does not retreat and dodge when Liu Gongwen counterattacks like Xiao Muyun, but instead attacks each other with each move. The following two The body shape changes so fast when people are attacking him that it is so dizzying that Lin Wanzhen was afraid of accidentally injuring Shen Liancheng and was unable to draw an arrow to shoot Liu Gongwen.
After the two of them had exchanged thirty moves, Shen Liancheng suddenly shouted, his Qi machine swelled, and his sword energy hissed with each move, but he used the word "Dang" from the "Taishi Heart Sutra". Jue'. He found that Liu Gongwen's Qi machine had weakened, and the range of the body-protecting Qi was only within two feet of his body, so he took advantage of the situation and launched an attack in order to speed up the loss of his internal energy.
The more Liu Gongwen fought, the more frightened he became. He was afraid that once he slowed down, Lin Wanzhen would wait for an opportunity to draw an arrow and shoot him. He also knew that after a long battle with Shen Liancheng, he would eventually become exhausted. His thoughts suddenly changed. , shouted, his Qi suddenly surged, and he used the move 'Qi Connecting All Directions', and in an instant the sword Qi spread within one foot around him.
Shen Liancheng, who was about to attack, felt that his sword energy was dissipated invisibly, and the sword tip swung outward involuntarily. His heart was shuddered, and he stepped back two steps. Liu Gongwen changed his move with the "Spring Returns to the Earth" sword. In this style, the sword energy crisscrossed, rolling up the gravel on the ground and shooting it in all directions like flying arrows. However, when Shen Liancheng retreated again, he took the opportunity to escape southward.
There are a total of thirteen moves in the 'Eternal Life Sword Technique'. These two moves are the most powerful, but also consume the most vitality. Liu Gongwen knows that he has insufficient stamina, and once he uses it without hurting the opponent, others will take advantage of him. This is why I have never dared to use these two moves. Now it is important to escape, but I cannot care about the consequences.
But just as Liu Gongwen was vertically more than ten feet away, and when he landed to take a breath again, a sound of breaking through the air rang out from the west, and a flying arrow struck his right shoulder like lightning. Liu Gongwen had no choice but to pause. He swung his sword to strike at the flying arrow. There was a crisp sound, and the tiger's mouth trembled. He almost wanted to let go of the sword. He was horrified, and when he looked up, he discovered that the person who guided the arrow was Xiao Muyun.
It turned out that when Xiao Muyun was fighting with Shen Liancheng, he was also on the lookout for an opportunity to escape, but knowing that he might not be able to stop him if he got close, he also took a bow and arrow from one of the arrow guards and stood at the foot of the southwest hillside to lead the attack. Bow ready to shoot.
Liu Gongwen was preoccupied with fighting Shen Liancheng, so he couldn't take a closer look at where Xiao Muyun was. He only knew that she and Lin Wanzhen were standing in the north. However, the gravel rolled up by the 'Spring Returns to the Earth' move was no less powerful than If a person in the state of spiritual consciousness strikes with all his strength, those within three feet will retreat to dodge or move to resist. However, Xiao Muyun did not expect that he would already be lying ten feet away to the west.
When Liu Gongwen was blocked by Xiao Muyun's arrow and stopped, Shen Liancheng had already moved three feet behind him, but did not attack him. Xiao Muyun threw away the bow and arrow in his hand and pulled out the arrow from his back. Jing Jia', jumped up and attacked Liu Gongwen with a move of 'Pull out the clouds and see the moon'.
Liu Gongwen and Shen Liancheng fought with each other for forty moves, and their Qi machine had already been depleted by 20%. Then they used the "Qi connecting all directions" and "Spring Returns to the Earth" moves, and the Qi machine was lost by more than 10%. Now it is already It was less than 70% of the strength. Shen Liancheng thought that his body-protecting aura was no longer a concern. Xiao Muyun could handle it on his own, but instead he swept the formation aside and let Xiao Muyun kill the enemy with his own hands.
Just as Shen Liancheng expected, Liu Gongwen's body-protecting Qi was only limited to three inches outside the body surface. With his Qi greatly damaged, he was already inferior to Xiao Muyun, and was unable to neutralize her cold sword attack in one go.
Then Shen Liancheng, Lin Wanzhen and others looked around. Liu Gongwen became more frightened and timid as he fought. His moves were already clumsy, and he was gradually becoming more and more confused.
'Yueshuang Sword Technique' originally consisted of ten moves, but Xiao Muyun had not reached the realm of Nascent Soul, so the last move 'Moon Covering Broken Shadow' could not be used. After using the first nine moves, he took a step back. With a slight shout, the sword energy of 'Jingjia' was activated, and he suddenly attacked with 'Muyun Three Styles'.
When Liu Gongwen's Qi machine was not damaged, he did not dare to block this attack rashly. Now he saw the sword light flickering, and the sword Qi enveloped his whole body. He was shocked and retreated quickly.
But after dodging the first wave of sword energy, the second wave of sword energy came out again, and a sword energy swept over like a wave. Liu Gongwen, who was about to retreat again, heard Shen Liancheng sneer behind him. , was startled again. In panic, he paused and cut his sword into the aperture of the sword energy coming from nowhere.
As the sword cut through the air, his right wrist felt cold and painful, but it was stabbed by the 'Shock Armor'. The long sword in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. The soul of the dead was in danger, and he was afraid that Shen Liancheng would make a sneak attack behind him. Inward to the right.
Unexpectedly, the third wave of sword energy followed like a shadow, the sword light bloomed like a flower, and a shuddering sword energy came directly to the door. Liu Gongwen kicked his legs and retreated suddenly, but he felt that a copper wall was blocking his retreat. , with his soul dispersed in shock, the 'Jingjia' suddenly penetrated his throat.
When Xiao Muyun drew his sword and came out, Shen Liancheng also dispersed the energy that prevented Liu Gongwen from retreating. He saw Liu Gongwen staring with a pair of frightened eyes, covering his bleeding neck with his right hand, shaking his body forward. After taking half a step, his feet gave way and he fell to his knees. He spun forward and fell forward, dying.
When Xiao Muyun looked at Liu Gongwen's corpse with mixed emotions, Lin Wanzhen came over, squatted down and turned over Liu Gongwen's corpse lying on the ground, searched his arms, and found a book. When I saw it, it was the "Taiyi Heart Sutra". I was so happy that I put it into my arms with my backhand.
Shen Liancheng ignored Lin Wanzhen's actions and looked at Xiao Muyun, "Fortunately, I can meet Miss Xiao. Shen has the opportunity to apologize for the rudeness that day..."
The implication is that he apologized for taking Xiao Muyun into prison seven years ago.
Xiao Muyun hurriedly saluted and said: "Mr. Shen's words have made this junior feel ashamed. Mr. Sheng has been so kind to you, and I dare not say thank you lightly. I will definitely repay you in the future..."
Shen Liancheng interjected: "Shen protected his nephew who did evil that day, and took down Miss Xiao because he bullied him unreasonably. He should apologize to Miss Xiao. In contrast, the master ignored the past grudges and rescued Shen, but he failed It makes Shen ashamed."
He paused for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I wonder how your master and Senior Mu are doing?"
Shen Liancheng was also suspicious of why Xiao Muyun didn't ask his master and master for help when he met the enemy who killed his father, so he took the opportunity to talk to him.
Regarding the matter of Buddha's Tribulation, even if Ji Jinghai arrived, Xiao Muyun would not report it easily, but for fear that Shen Liancheng would see the flaw, he immediately responded after hearing the words: "My master and master just entered the country in seclusion, so the younger generation can To seek help from Mr. Ji..."
Shen Liancheng is such a person. Even if Xiao Muyun responded easily, there would never be such a coincidence in the world. He knew that she had something to hide, but he couldn't ask further questions. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "It's really gratifying that Master and Senior Mu entered the country at the same time. Hey...how are you doing, Senior Brother Ling?"
Xiao Muyun felt a pain in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are marching north, and my senior brother is with me in the formation."
Shen Liancheng learned from Ji Jing Haikou that Luo Xiaoyao and Xiao Muyun were in love, but he thought that even if Chu Nanfeng and Mu Daocheng were not able to come, Luo Xiaoyao would have no reason not to help Xiao Muyun.
Hearing this, he saw a wry smile on Xiao Muyun's face, but because he suspected that Xiao Muyun, as a member of the Khitan royal family, might have a grudge against Luo Xiaoyao for joining the army in the northern expedition to Liao, he did not seek help from him. For fear of upsetting Xiao Muyun, he looked at When Liu Gongwen saw the corpse, the topic changed, "Why did this thief hide in the prince's private garden? How did Miss Xiao know about it?"
Although Shen Liancheng retired from the army and lived in seclusion in the borrowed land, he knew that the manor here was the private garden of Prince Li Hongyi.
"Why did Liu Thief seek refuge with Li Hongyi? I don't know why. He kidnapped the princess of Da Zhou, but he inadvertently let me trace this place..."
"Oh?! You kidnapped Princess Da Zhou?" Shen Liancheng was greatly surprised, "When Shen came to help, he saw that there was still fighting in the village, so he should rush to help now..."
After Xiao Muyun killed Liu Gongwen, he originally wanted to rush to the village, but he was afraid of being disrespectful to Shen Liancheng, so he stopped to answer his question. After hearing this, he immediately nodded and turned to the arrow guard and said: "General The willow thief was beheaded and taken to Yaowang Valley to pay tribute to Senior Miao and their dead souls..."
The Khitans did not have the custom of offering sacrifices to the dead with the heads of their enemies, so Xiao Muyun asked the Arrow Guards to cut off the heads of Liu Gong scholars, and then had Chang Qingqing and Miao Kexue sacrifice them at the graves of Miao Changning and Miao Xiuzhu.
When we were about to reach the top of the mountain on the east side of Jubao Mountain, we heard the sound of horses neighing. When we turned around the top of the mountain, we saw a large group of officers and soldiers quickly surrounding the village courtyard under the light of torches.
The shocked Xiao Muyun was about to jump to kill, but was stopped by Shen Liancheng, "The officers and soldiers are outnumbered and powerful. Even if Miss Xiao can escape unscathed with her extraordinary cultivation, it may be difficult for your companions to do so."
"Then what should we do? Senior, please give me some instructions..."
Shen Liancheng pondered for a moment and said, "Let's follow Shen to the mountain and let's talk."
As Shen Liancheng climbed up the east hillside and arrived at a mountainside to the north of Jubao Mountain, he saw many officers and soldiers already standing on the roof of the atrium, shooting arrows at the main house in the back garden, fighting and retreating. Zhu Guanshi et al.
But thinking that if Manager Zhu and others were forced into the house in the back garden, and the fire arrows were fired at that time, everyone might have no hope of escaping. Xiao Muyun was so anxious that he only listened to Shen Liancheng say: "This is on the northwest side of the mountain. There is a village courtyard ahead, which is the residence of Han Xizai, the Minister of Household Affairs. Miss Xiao, please invite Mr. Han here, and this danger should be resolved."
"Oh?!" Xiao Muyun and Lin Wanzhen were stunned, but for a moment they didn't understand what Shen Liancheng meant.
"The Southern Tang Dynasty has surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty. Even if the princess of the Zhou Dynasty was kidnapped by the prince, the king and ministers are not willing to offend the Zhou court for this. Miss Xiao does not mention that she has a grudge against the Liu thief for killing her father. Pretending not to know that this is the prince's other courtyard, all he needs to do is tell Lord Han that he is here to rescue Princess Dazhou..."
Before they finished speaking, Xiao Muyun and Lin Wanzhen had already jumped away, but with her two hands, they rushed to Han Xizai's mansion, which was nearly 200 feet away in an instant.
It was late at night, and Han Xizai was awakened by the sound of horses neighing and shouting for death. However, he heard it coming from the direction of Prince Li Hongyi's private courtyard. He was startled and suspicious. He got up in the middle of the night and came to the hall. He sent two guards to investigate. Explore.
Unexpectedly, the guards had not come back yet, but Xiao Muyun and Lin Wanzhen appeared. Han Xizai was also accompanied by a master with some spiritual skills, but he was Xiao Muyun's opponent. He was restrained before three moves were made, and the other guards In the blink of an eye, everything was broken.
When Xiao Muyun took action, Lin Wanzhen walked into the hall, looked at the horrified Han Xizai, and saluted, "The enshrinement of the Divine Tiger Camp of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Lin Wanzhen has met Master Han."
"I wonder why Lin Zongfeng visited me late at night...?"
"My Princess Gaoping of the Great Zhou Dynasty was kidnapped by an evil thief. We were ordered to go south to investigate and found out that the evil thief had imprisoned the princess in the courtyard on the northeast side of Jubao Mountain. When we were rescuing her, a large group of officers and soldiers came out of nowhere. There is no obstruction, so I invite you, sir, to go and relieve the siege."
"Princess Gaoping of the Great Zhou Dynasty was imprisoned in..." Han Xizai was shocked, but he knew that the manor was owned by Li Hongyi, but he did not dare to say anything. He paused and hesitated, "Can Lin Congfeng's identity plate be given to me?" Do you want me to take a look?"
Lin Wanzhen casually made up the identity of the enshrinement of Shenhu Camp. There was no talisman to prove it, but she thought Chang Shan, Zhao Kuangyi and others had it. It was an urgent matter, but there was no room for delay. After hearing this, she walked quickly to Han Xizai and buckled the Holding his pulse, "Master Han is offended. When we go to the scene, the little girl will definitely explain to you."
Han Xizai was not allowed to say anything, but he lifted his figure, walked out of the hall, jumped up with Xiao Muyun, and swept away from the roof with Han Xizai.
When they were twenty feet away from the village courtyard, Lin and Xiao stopped. Lin Wanzhen looked at Han Xizai, who looked surprised, "The little girl was in a hurry and didn't carry the fish charm with her, but I, Long Yongwei Chang of Great Zhou Dynasty, The commander must have..."
Before Lin Wanzhen finished speaking, Han Xizai said in surprise: "Did Lin Chongfeng say that the commander of Longyong Guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty is in this courtyard?"
"Exactly."
Lin Wanzhen did not have an identity card to prove her identity, but Han Xizai was dubious about what she said, but he knew that Long Yongwei was on duty in the Zhou Imperial Palace for important matters, and would never leave the seal without authorization unless it was important.
After hearing this, he had already believed ninety percent of the story about Princess Da Zhou being kidnapped and brought to Li Hongyi Manor. However, knowing how powerful it was, Han Xizai was shocked and ran towards the manor, saying as he ran: " Is General Li Pei and Li here?"
His residence is in the southern city wall, and he has to pass through the southern gate every morning, so he knows exactly who is guarding the southern gate and when.
The guards on the perimeter also knew Han Xizai. One of the guards came forward to greet him and said, "General Li is in the courtyard. Mr. Han will wait a moment. The younger one will go immediately to report..."
After a while, a man who looked like a general who was over forty years old was seen walking towards the guard. He glanced at Xiao and Lin who were dressed in night clothes behind Han Xizai. He frowned and saluted Han Xizai.
Said: "The last general Li Pei has met your lord..."
Han Xizai didn't reply, but he pulled him aside and whispered. As Han Xizai finished speaking, Li Pei's face suddenly became solemn, his eyes swept over Xiao and Lin, and he turned around
He said to one of the bodyguards: "Give me the order, stop shooting, quickly..."
"Your Majesty has an order, stop shooting. Your Majesty has an order, stop shooting..."
Following the call of the messenger, after a while, everything in the village suddenly became quiet. Lin Wanzhen looked at Xiao Muyun and said, "Sister, please wait here while I go ask my uncle to come out..."
But fearing that things might change, she wanted to leave Xiao Muyun outside to take care of her. Xiao Muyun knew what she was thinking, so he approached Han Xizai and nodded to Lin Wanzhen.
Before half a cup of tea, Chang Shan was seen walking out quickly under the guidance of Lin Wanzhen, walking in front of Han Xizai, bowing and saluting, "Commander Chang Shan of the Longyong Guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty has met Mr. Han..."
As Han Xizai returned the gift, Chang Shan presented the identity talisman to him for viewing. Looking at the talisman in his hand, Han Xizai was even more shocked. He walked to Lin Wanzhen's side and whispered: "I wonder if the princess has found it?"
The matter was of great importance, but he did not dare to use the word "rescue" in the inquiry.
Lin Wan really knew what he was worried about, and she had no intention of getting serious with him at the moment. She nodded, "The princess is out of danger."
Xiao Muyun was overjoyed and said first, "Did Qingqing hurt her?"
Lin Wanzhen shook her head, "Qingqing was not injured, but Ke Xue was poisoned..."
Xiao Muyun was suddenly shocked and looked at Chang Shan, "Uncle, does he know how Ke Xue died?"
"I didn't know either. Before the officers and soldiers arrived, I was still fighting in the garden. After I retreated into the house, I learned that Ke Xue was killed. Before I could ask Kuang Yi, Wan Zhen came to find me..."
"What about Manager Zhu and the others?"
"Deacon Chen was killed, eight arrow guards were also injured, Steward He was seriously injured, Yan Qiu, Shaowen were injured by arrows..."
Xiao Muyun knew that the sword was ruthless, and sighed in his heart. He looked at Han Xizai, "The princess was frightened. I want to send her back to Kaifeng immediately. I can help Master Han arrange a few carriages..."
The kidnapping of Chang Qingqing had nothing to do with Li Hongyi, and Liu Gongwen had been eliminated and Chang Qingqing was also rescued. Xiao Muyun was eager to rush back to Kaifeng and did not want to waste time here. He was also afraid of exposing Manager Zhu's identity.
To save the wounded, Han Xizai was asked to prepare a carriage.
Han Xizai was originally worried that this matter would implicate Li Hongyi, and it would be difficult to explain it to the Zhou Dynasty Hall when the investigation was carried out. He was still thinking about how to fabricate lies and find someone to take the blame. Hearing Xiao Muyun say this, he could hardly believe it. He was stunned and paused.
Out of joy, he looked at Li Pei and said, "General Li, quickly prepare the carriage with Princess Chang and Lord Chang..."
When Li Pei sent someone to arrange the carriage, Xiao Muyun went to look for Shen Liancheng on the mountainside of Jubao Mountain. Unexpectedly, Shen Liancheng had already left without saying goodbye, so he had to go down the mountain to the village courtyard with four arrow guards.
