Three hundred and twentieth chapters fierce counterattack
As midnight approached, Xu Zhiqiong's room was filled with paper dust.
Previously, he thought he had figured out how to translate the second half of the cipher text, but after translating two paragraphs, he found that he couldn't read them at all.
The method of deciphering the second half was still wrong. Xu Zhiqiong burned all the translations and started calculating again. Jiang Feili knocked on the door and said: "Qi Shuiyun, Lan Hongjin and Yu Chilan went to arrest four Nufu cult members. Qi Shuiyun's Qingyu
The leaves are cracked, but not broken."
The green jade leaf is a talisman specially ordered by the Department of Yin and Yang for the Qingyi Pavilion. There are ten in total, one belongs to Jiang Feili, and the other nine belong to the nine sixth-grade Qingyi envoys.
A drop of the master's blood is sealed in the green jade leaf. The nine sixth-grade Tsing Yi envoys usually do not carry the green jade leaf with them, but give it to Jiang Feili for safekeeping. If the master is injured, the green jade leaf will have cracks. If the master dies, the green jade leaf will
will disconnect.
Qi Shuiyun was injured, and the conditions of Lan Hongjin and Yuchi Lan were probably not optimistic either.
Since the expedition, there have been no casualties in Qingyi Pavilion. Xu Zhiqiong cherishes every subordinate like his own sisters.
Xu Zhiqiong put down his pen and paper and said: "Take all the sixth-grade Tsing Yi and follow me!"
Just as Jiang Feili was about to gather people, she was stopped by Xu Zhiqiong again: "Wait a minute! Where are the three of them going to arrest people?"
"Drunken Boat Village."
"How far is it from here?"
"Zuichuan Township is in the east of Chihuan County, and Ziquan Pavilion is in the west." Jiang Feili estimated, "It's almost a hundred and twenty miles away."
"One hundred and twenty miles..." Xu Zhiqiong pinched his chin and thought for a long time before saying, "Except Qi Shuiyun, there are eight sixth-grade Qingyi soldiers in the army. Choose two and follow me."
"Just two?" Jiang Feili was startled.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Take Qiao Hongliu with you, and the rest will stay with you in Ziquan Pavilion!"
Jiang Feili was even more surprised: "I won't go with you either?"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "If you come with me, if the enemy comes to attack Ziquan Pavilion, how can they resist it?"
Jiang Feili frowned and said: "Enemy army? Just a Nufu Cult? Why are they crazy? How dare they come to your door?"
"Don't underestimate the enemy. You and I have no ability to underestimate the enemy. Ziquan Pavilion is a hundred miles away from Zuizhou Township. If the enemy really invades, it will be too late for you and me to receive the news. When we rush back for rescue, we will only be able to collect the corpses."
things."
While talking, Xu Zhiqiong picked up his pen and ink, drew a sketch of Ziquan Pavilion, and made a few key marks: "You send Lao Qingyi to guard these key points. The two teams rotate, and you must not slack off.
You haven't cleared up the poison yet, so don't be too tired, and go back to your room to get some rest first, every extra moment of sleep is worth it!"
Jiang Feili said: "When I was on errands, it didn't matter if I didn't sleep for a few days or nights, but I was worried about you. Qi Shuiyun is the sixth grade, Lan Hongjin is the eighth grade, and Yuchilan is also considered the best among the ninth grade.
You only brought three people there, can you save the three of them?"
Xu Zhiqiong was more worried about Yuchilan than anyone else, but he couldn't bring in more people.
Bringing low-quality people with you will add to the burden. Bringing high-quality people with you will put Ziquan Pavilion in danger.
Xu Zhiqiong laid out the tactics in detail, and then rushed to Zuizhou Township with Zhao Cuihuan and Li Xuefei, the sixth-grade Tsing Yi, and Qiao Hongliu, the ninth-grade Tsing Yi.
Zuichuan Village is located along the Guangxian Lake and is a good place for cruises. When Xu Zhiqiong set out, he first sent news to Tao Huayuan through Taohua.
Tao Huayuan mobilized the magic formations along the way to help Xu Zhiqiong rush to Zuichuan Township. She also asked Onmyoji to find out the whereabouts of Qi Shuiyun, Lan Hongjin and Yuchi Lan in Zuichuan Township.
It took Xu Zhiqiong and the other four people less than an hour to arrive at Zuizhou Township, while Tao Huayuan targeted a painting boat in Guangxian Lake.
"You thief, someone saw three women boarding that painting boat. One of them was very tall and strong. They said they were singers, but they stayed on the boat for several hours and didn't come out. Maybe it's a bad thing."
Extremely tall and strong!
Xu Zhiqiong's heart skipped a beat.
Dear senior sister, you have to live well!
The painting boat was far away from the shore. Tao Huayuan had prepared a small boat for Xu Zhiqiong in advance. Xu Zhiqiong asked Zhao Cuihuan to meet them on the shore and took Li Xuefei and Qiao Hongliu aboard the boat.
Zhao Cuihuan is at the sixth level. Is it a waste to stay on the shore?
It's not a waste at all. There must be a strong person on the shore to take over. If there is an ambush on the shore, even a sixth-grade man may not be enough.
The small boat and the big ship were about to dock. Xu Zhiqiong looked at the deck of the big ship. There were no boatmen or maids on board.
Relying on their agility, Xu Zhiqiong and Li Xuefei jumped directly onto the deck. Qiao Hongliu was a ninth-grade Confucian and was not very skilled, so Xu Zhiqiong used a rope to bring her up.
Since there was no one on the deck, Xu Zhiqiong opened the hatch and took the two of them into the cabin.
This is a three-story painting boat. The first floor functions like a living room. On the left and right sides, there are tables and chairs according to the seats of the guests of honor. In the center of the lobby, three dancers lie prone, with a blood stain around them.
A dancer was quite tall and strong. Xu Zhiqiong's heart tightened. He stepped forward and turned the person over, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
What an ugly face!
She has a dark face, thick eyebrows, round eyes, a bulbous nose, and a square mouth. If it weren't for her clothes and hair accessories, she wouldn't even look like a woman.
When you lift your neck, you can see that there is an Adam's apple. If you look down, you will see that the foundation is majestic.
Really not a woman!
This person had a fatal wound on his throat and had been dead for a long time. The other two "singing girls" who passed by him were also men pretending to be men, and they were also dead.
Li Xuefei pointed to the wound on the "singer's" neck, and then pointed to his short knife.
This is the wound left by the willow blade unique to Qingyi Pavilion. The blade of the willow blade is very thin, and the wound left is deep and thin.
But there was something strange about one of the corpses. The other two corpses were both killed with a single knife, and only this corpse had dozens of knife wounds.
Why did you cut so many knives?
I dare not say anything else, but the Tsing Yi user is absolutely professional in killing people. The blade of the knife is so messy that it is really difficult to figure out the reason.
What happened?
"You two, stay here and don't move. I'll be back as soon as I go." Xu Zhiqiong took off a hairpin from the dancer's head and disappeared.
Qiao Hongliu whispered: "Where did Captain Xu go?"
Li Xuefei said: "Colonel Xu knows the art of yin and yang, we just follow his orders."
Xu Zhiqiong entered the small dark room, fumbled for hairpins, and imagined the scene at that time, focusing on imagining the looks of the three Tsing Yis, and quickly found the corresponding scene.
Qi Shuiyun, Lan Hongjin, and Yuchi Lan pretended to be singing girls and boarded the painting boat. Qi Shuiyun and Lan Hongjin looked good, wearing coarse clothes, each holding a pipa in their arms, with shy faces and reserved expressions, as if they were nothing.
I have seen singing girls in big scenes.
Yuchilan's clothes didn't fit well. Her top was too short, almost exposing her waist, and her underskirt was too short, revealing her natural feet.
The worst thing was the way she held the pipa, holding the neck with one hand, like she was holding a hammer.
Careless, too careless!
In the past few days, the battle was going so smoothly that the three of them didn't take their opponents seriously at all.
As the dancer's figure turned, Xu Zhiqiong saw the situation in the hall.
There were six men sitting in the hall, headed by one, who seemed to be around sixty years old, with gray hair and beard. He was holding a cup of wine with the guests and seemed not to have noticed the three singers at all.
A servant urged Qi Shuiyun a few words, and Qi Shuiyun sat in the hall, played the pipa, and started singing seriously.
She can play the pipa, and her fingering skills are quite good.
The other two people sat on the left and right respectively, and Lan Hongjin also played a few tunes. Yuchi Lan held the piano upside down, pressing the strings with his right hand, and fiddled with it with his left hand.
After a moment, Qi Shuiyun stood up and rushed towards the old man who was leading him. The old man suddenly changed his face, with a green face, narrow eyes, and no eyebrows. The corners of his mouth were grinned down to his ears, revealing a ferocious smile.
Before Qi Shuiyun could stand still, she jumped back on her toes. She was frightened.
It’s not her fault, Xu Zhiqiong was frightened even after taking a look in the dark room.
The ninth level skill of Yongzhao's fierce path - fierce appearance!
This fear is insurmountable.
At the same time, three dancers surrounded three people in green clothes. They puffed out their chests and bellies, as if they were breathing in.
The eighth-level skill of Yongzhu's vicious path is tyranny. They can draw strength from the fear of others.
Xu Zhiqiong had fought against Nufu Nudao in Chihuan County and had some understanding of their skills.
The cultivation level of these three "dancing girls" should all be at the eighth level. In terms of combat power alone, the eighth level Yin Zhu may not be able to defeat the ninth level killer. But after taking these two breaths, the three people's combat power increased sharply.
.
Yuchilan was obviously in a disadvantageous position, Lan Hongjin could barely fight, and only Qi Shuiyun had the upper hand.
After fighting for a while, their skills failed, and the three people's skills slowed down, much slower than Lan Hongjin. Qi Shuiyun took the opportunity to kill one, and Lan Hongjin and Yuchilan killed another.
There was only one left, and Qi Shuiyun could kill him with just a little bit of skill, but Qi Shuiyun swung her short sword and slashed the "dancing girl" she had killed more than a dozen times.
How much hatred is this?
Why vent your anger so much?
Not only she, but Lan Hongjin and Yuchilan also slashed at the same corpse. The remaining dancer stabbed Yuchilan twice, but Yuchilan didn't react.
This must also be a Taoist skill, but Xu Zhiqiong doesn't know the origin of the skill yet. The highest Taoist cultivator in Chishui County is only at the eighth level.
In the end, Qi Shuiyun was the first to come to his senses and kill the dancing girl with one knife. At this moment, they were surrounded by six men in the hall.
After all, Qi Shuiyun was an old man in Qingyi. Seeing that the situation was not good, he knocked down a man and took Lan Hongjin with him. Yuchi Lan wanted to rush out of the cabin.
There was an ambush outside the cabin, forcing the three of them back.
During the fight, there were more than a dozen people in the cabin, all of whom were cultivators. Qi Shuiyun had nowhere to go, so he took Lan Hongjin and Yuchilan up the stairs.
The "Dancing Girl" died, her hairpin was left on the ground, and Xu Zhiqiong could not see what was happening on the stairs.
He immediately left the small dark room and took Li Xuefei and Qiao Hongliu up the stairs. When they reached the corner, Xu Zhiqiong's figure disappeared again. Two men suddenly appeared with fierce looks on their faces, which scared Li Xuefei and Qiao Hongliu and backed away.
Xu Zhiqiong suddenly appeared from behind, showed his mandarin duck blade, and cut the throats of the two men.
This is the experience I have accumulated over the past few days. When fighting against Taotie, try not to look directly at the opponent. Don't look at the opponent's face as it is just a vicious face. The fear brought by the vicious look will cause great interference in the battle.
Xu Zhiqiong signaled the two of them to follow him and continue upstairs. When they reached the second floor, they pushed open a guest room. Two men suddenly appeared, showing their fierce looks again.
This time even Xu Zhiqiong was not prepared. These two men hid themselves very well.
A wave of coldness surged up, and Xu Zhiqiong took two steps back. Two men stepped forward with their swords and struck him on the head.
Both men have seventh-level cultivation, and their sword shooting speed is not slow.
If Xu Zhiqiong dodges, the two Qingyi men behind him will definitely suffer. Li Xuefei may be able to dodge the blow with his sixth-level killing skills, but Qiao Hongliu will definitely die.
If Xu Zhiqiong used a weapon to fight, he would have to face two dangerous looks all the time. Not only would his combat power be damaged, but fear would also allow the opponent to gain strength.
Xu Zhiqiong still chose to parry. Relying on his speed, he drew out his halberd and blocked the opponent's single sword. He did not avoid the opponent's fierce look and looked directly at the two of them.
The two intensified their skills, making Xu Zhiqiong break out in cold sweat. In extreme fear, in just one breath, Xu Zhiqiong's arms began to release strength.
Li Xuefei used murderous intent to overcome his fear, and just as he was about to step forward to help in the battle, another burst of fear struck him. Four men, each with a fierce look, rushed over from the corridor, two on the left and two on the right.
Six seventh-grade men surrounded three people. The opponent had the upper hand, but Qiao Hongliu was still useless.
Xu Zhiqiong was weak, and Li Xuefei's arms were shaking. At the critical moment, he suddenly saw six men withering away their fierce looks and retreating one after another.
Taking advantage of this gap, Xu Zhiqiong summoned the Yuanyang Blade and cut the necks of three people with great speed. Li Xuefei killed two of them, and the remaining one wanted to escape.
Want to escape?
Can you escape?
From the moment he turned his back to Xu Zhiqiong, he was already dead. Xu Zhiqiong rushed behind him and directly pierced his skull with a long halberd.
Li Xuefei wiped the blood on the willow blade, still feeling a little scared.
Qiao Hongliu asked: "What happened just now? Why did those people stop suddenly?"
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Because I used the technique of patrolling."
"Yes!" Xu Zhiqiong smiled, "I'm a guest as soon as I walk in. Isn't it a violation of etiquette for them to treat guests like this?"
Qiao Hongliu looked at Xu Zhiqiong with admiration, but she didn't expect that Xu Xiaowei was also a Confucian senior.
Killing Taoism and cultivating Confucianism, it is no wonder that Xu Xiaowei is full of Confucian general demeanor.
He also cultivates Yin and Yang, and will definitely be a master among all the sects in the future!
From now on, I will discuss more knowledge with Colonel Xu and spend all my time with a group of murderers. Qiao Hongliu feels that I have become a lot more vulgar!
This girl is overthinking. In fact, this is not Confucianism at all. This is Xu Zhiqiong's sixth-level skill. Xu Zhiqiong used the second-level realm, the state of mind, to let these six men see the true god Yaozhu in their minds.
The skills of Yongzhu Dao are so terrifying, and the appearance of the true god Yongzhu must be very ferocious. Every Yongzhu cultivator has a strong fear of the true god, so he gave up the fight in an instant.
Xu Zhiqiong checked around the guest room on the second floor and found no Nufu followers, nor did he see Yuchilan and others.
He led the two of them to the third floor of the cabin.
The third cabin was the master's bedroom. When Xu Zhiqiong walked to the door of the bedroom, bursts of bloody smell hit his nose.
Xu Zhiqiong asked Li Xuefei and Qiao Hongliu to step back, and he gently pushed open the hatch with his halberd.
Inside the cabin door, a sledgehammer hit him.
Xu Zhiqiong raised his halberd to fight, only to hear a clang and the sledgehammer shattered into pieces.
This sledgehammer was made of wood, and there were strings on the "hammer". The strings broke and almost hurt Xu Zhiqiong's eye.
Yuchilan threw away the "sledgehammer", picked up the willow leaf blade and rushed towards Xu Zhiqiong.
Xu Zhiqiong grabbed the senior sister's conscience and shouted: "Hold on! It's me!"
