Qi Heng's cultivation was profound, and the spiritual chaos he unleashed was also extraordinary. The spiritual blades that filled the sky at that moment tore into pieces the branches and branches above his head. -
The man in black who was hiding in the tree secretly said something powerful, not daring to take the stand, and jumped away to the side.
Crash! The man in black jumped out five meters away before landing in mid-air. When he looked back, he saw broken leaves and sawdust falling from the air, blocking Qi Heng's sight. He realized that the opportunity had come.
He raised the gleaming spiritual sword in his hand, aimed it at Qi Heng, and unleashed a criss-cross slash.
In fact, he didn't have to fight Qi Heng, as long as he could hold him back for a while, but as a master of spiritual martial arts, he also had an unwillingness to admit defeat in his heart.
The cross cut released by the man in black struck Qi Heng like lightning. As soon as he used this killing move, he regretted it. If he really hurt Qi Heng, how would he explain it?
He was still thinking about this in his mind, but suddenly, a dazzling light suddenly appeared among the leaves and sawdust in front of him. Before he could see clearly what was going on, the cross slash he released had been shattered, and the spirit that had come back had been shattered.
The blade flew towards his head and face.
The man in black's face suddenly changed, and he didn't have time to think about it. He leaned down on the spot, rolled like a lazy donkey, and rolled to the side.
The spiritual blade coming from behind almost passed by his spiritual armor, leaving more than ten scratches on his spiritual armor. If he had been half a step later, he would have been turned into pieces by the spiritual blade released by Qi Heng.
.
Qi Heng's reputation is indeed well-deserved. I am afraid that even in front of the four powerful generals, he will do his duty! The gap in strength between the two sides is so great that the man in black even lost the opportunity to continue fighting. He made a long whistle,
Then, he retreated and disappeared into the dense forest.
As soon as he withdrew, his companions on the other side who were knocked back also withdrew. When Qi Heng spurred his horse out from the messy leaves and sawdust, the two men in black had already disappeared without a trace.
He snorted coldly and cursed in a low voice: "Rat people are rats. If you can't do it, you can't run fast!"
He turned around and shouted: "Brothers, follow me and rush over. Anyone who can capture the robbers will be rewarded heavily by me!"
"Yes!" Qi Heng was brave, and the morale of the soldiers below was naturally high. People responded in unison, followed Qi Heng, and rushed towards the center of the dense forest.
When they came to the open space in the middle of the dense forest, a fierce battle was still taking place here. Montaigne and four disciples were fighting fiercely with several men in black. Munro was holding a bloody human head and huddled in a corner.
Crying bitterly.
When Qi Heng saw this, he grinned happily. It was better to arrive early than to arrive by chance. It was time for him to make a contribution. If he didn't capture the kidnapper at this time, how long should he wait? He shouted loudly to the left and right: "Surround this place for me. No one can do it."
Don’t let go!”
"Yes!" The five thousand heavy cavalrymen divided into two groups with a tacit understanding, and encircled them from both sides of the open space.
The men in black during the battle did not ignore the arrival of the army led by Qi Heng. The leader of the men in black let out a long whistle, calling to his companions to step up the offensive and achieve a quick victory.
Soon, the situation on the field changed. Montaigne and the four disciples, who had been struggling to support themselves, immediately showed their defeat under the attack of the men in black. Montaigne, in particular, could only parry the opponent's fierce attack.
He has no power to fight back.
Just when he was moaning secretly and planning to retreat first to avoid its sharp edge, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed out of the woods and struck directly between his eyebrows.
Montaigne's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously swung his sword to resist. There was a clang in his ear, and a spiritual arrow whirled in the air and fell to the ground.
No! There are still spiritual archers in the forest! But at the moment when he was distracted, the man in black on the opposite side stabbed him seven times. Montaigne quickly gathered his mind and dealt with it carefully. He used all his strength.
But he only received the first five sword strikes from the opponent. The last two sword blows first opened the spiritual armor on his shoulder, and then opened a large gash in his arm, almost cutting off his arm.
Montaigne screamed in pain and instinctively stepped back. At this time, he suddenly heard someone from behind shouting: "General Meng, be careful--"
Before he could figure out what was going on, another cold arrow came from his side. This time, Montaigne could no longer dodge.
When he realized something was wrong, a spiritual arrow had been shot in front of him. He heard a thumping sound in his ear. The arrow hit the side of his neck. The spiritual arrow entered through his left neck and came out from his right neck.
Nail him directly through the neck.
Montaigne opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't even scream. It was as if all the strength in his body had been sucked dry. He stood there, unable to move.
The man in black on the opposite side stepped forward, the spiritual sword in his hand drew a wonderful electric light in the air, and swept it straight in front of Montaigne.
This was the last scene he saw. The long streak of lightning was so dazzling that it made him feel dizzy.
Click! With a crisp cracking sound, the man in black cut off Montaigne's head with a sword. Then, without pausing for a moment, he shouted loudly to everyone around him: "Get out!"
Before the heavy cavalry was about to complete the encirclement, these men in black rushed into the dense forest. The sky was dark and it was even harder to see in the forest. Several men in black got in and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lost traces.
This situation made Qi Heng completely dumbfounded. The situation on the field changed too fast, which caught people off guard. Montaigne was almost killed by a series of kills by the opponent in front of his eyes. He didn't even have a chance to save him.
Looking at the body lying on the ground, Qi Heng was in a daze. It was not until Munro let out a scream like a slaughtering pig and rolled and crawled towards Montaigne's body like crazy that he suddenly came to his senses.
In an instant, Qi Heng's eyebrows stood up. The kidnappers didn't kill Montaigne earlier or later, but they killed Montaigne right in front of their eyes. It was obvious that these kidnappers deliberately wanted to embarrass themselves and send themselves a huge humiliation!
"Damn rats, you bullied me too much. Let me see where you are running to? Whoa, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah," Qi Heng was also furious, shouting strangely as he chased the man in black in the direction in which he was fleeing.
Until now, he has not noticed anything strange and still thinks that these men in black are kidnappers. If he calms down and thinks about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that these men in black are very well-trained, and each of them has a superb spirit.
Wu, how can this be achieved by ordinary kidnappers?
At this time, he went to chase the kidnappers, where could he catch them? The dense forest was dark and there were many trees. Even if the kidnappers did not escape and hid in a nook and corner, he would not be able to find them again.
But Qi Heng was unwilling to give in. He led his cavalry and rushed around in the woods like headless flies. As a result, after working for more than half an hour, he didn't even see the shadow of the man in black.
In the end, no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to give up the search and retreat to the open space with a group of his men, sweating profusely. At this time, Munro had passed out from crying, and the four disciples were drooping like defeated roosters.
Keep your head aside.
Munro lost two sons overnight. No one could bear such a heavy blow. Seeing this tragic situation, Qi Heng also sighed in his heart, sat on his horse, and secretly shook his head.
Montaigne, a man who was loyal to the emperor and the royal court but was regarded as a thorn in Tang Yin's flesh, finally died. With Yin Rou's protection, he could escape Tang Yin's open spear, but he could not escape Tang Yin's hidden arrow.
.
Even if he died, he would die at the hands of the "kidnapper" in a confused way. His death would be not only disgraceful but also unclear.
The two brothers Montaigne and Mengchong were killed one after another, which was also a fatal blow to Munro. The old man lost his son in his later years and could not bear such a tragic blow, so he became bedridden. His position as left prime minister was already over.
It was in name only, but invisibly it helped Tang Yin eliminate his biggest political enemy in the imperial court, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
The next day, morning.
Gu Chen and Qi Heng reported the matter to Tang Yin in the court hall. During the report, Gu Chen had no expression on his face and was just stating a fact, while Qi Heng lost his usual arrogant and arrogant attitude and always lowered his head, like frost.
The beaten eggplant is wilted.
Regarding this matter, Tang Yin didn't know much about the inside story. He only knew that although he left the matter to An Jian, it was Gu Chen who was actually planning it behind the scenes. It must have been Gu Chen's idea for Qi Heng to get involved. He thought about it carefully.
After a while, he understood why Gu Chen wanted to bring Qi Heng in. Since Gu Chen had already done this, he shouldn't waste his thoughts. Tang Yin deliberately showed displeasure, looked at Qi Heng, and asked:
"General Qi, was General Meng killed by robbers in front of your eyes?"
Although it is hard to say, it is true.
Qi Heng lowered his head and blushed. If there was a crack in the ground now, he could get in without hesitation. He continued to hang his head and said in a low voice that he could hardly hear himself: "Yes...yes...
…”
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and said: "A few robbers were able to kill General Meng in front of General Qi, and then all escaped unharmed. Do you think I, the king, should believe what you say?"
Plop! Qi Heng's legs went weak, he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the general was indeed careless, allowing the robbers to take advantage of the loophole. Please punish the general, and the general will accept his punishment!"
"
"Alas!" Tang Yin sighed heavily and said, "I can't blame you entirely. Come to think of it, the robber's spiritual martial arts must also be very powerful." After a pause, he said again: "Qi Heng, you should be here now.
Understand, at the critical moment, no matter how powerful you are alone, your power is limited after all, and it is difficult to change the overall situation. You have to learn a lesson this time, and you must not be arrogant in the future. Fortunately, you only encountered a few thieves this time.
You made the mistake of underestimating the enemy on the battlefield, how can you still survive now?"
Qi Heng's heart was shaken and he responded hurriedly: "Your Majesty taught you a lesson very well. I will follow your teachings carefully and never do it again!"
"Remember what you said today! It is human nature to be young and frivolous when you are young, but now that you are the commander-in-chief of an army, your life is no longer yours alone, but belongs to the entire army of one hundred thousand soldiers.
." Tang Yin said sharply: "If you make today's mistake again in the future, you, the commander-in-chief, don't have to do it again."
