It was snowing heavily and the weather was very cold. Fortunately, there was no strong wind, otherwise it would have been even more uncomfortable.

Wu Zhuo, Xiang Shaolong and more than ten horses left the mansion on horseback. Everyone wore bamboo hats and covered most of their faces, and galloped out of the Wu mansion. When they got to the street, they immediately parted ways, running in groups of two, each running in different directions.

First there were three carriages, and now with this method of confusing the enemy, even if all three hundred of Yan Ping's men were waiting outside the mansion, it would be difficult to deal with so many "suspects" at the same time. Besides, who can say who can identify Xiang Shaolong?

Is it one of them.

This move was to force Yan Ping's Mohist warriors to retreat to the mountain roads and dense forests under Guo's house. Xiang Shaolong and Wu Zhuo followed a carefully chosen route and quickly left the garden area outside Wu Mansion.

When they arrived at the avenue lined with residential buildings, they did not go in the direction of Guo's Mansion. Instead, they braved the rain and snow and turned left in the opposite direction. They had no time to care whether the other party was following behind them. When they arrived in front of a large house, they gave the signal.

The door of the house opened immediately. The owner of this big house was a person who had a deep friendship with the Wu family, so he was naturally willing to facilitate them. The two of them broke into the house without saying anything, and then went to the street behind the house through the back door.

Then he ran quickly towards "Xiuyue Mountain" where the Guo Mansion was located. This move was arranged by Wu Zhuo. Even if it was really attached to someone, he could still get rid of the other person. It was extremely beautiful.

Rain and snow hit his face, and Xiang Shaolong suddenly felt at a loss. Although he only lived in this ancient Warring States era for a few years, he had already experienced a lot of extremely painful and sad things. Shu'er, **

The violent death had caused him serious trauma, but Zhao Ni's tragic death was even more difficult to accept until this moment, but it was a cruel and merciless reality.

Suddenly, these three beauties in their prime of life disappeared from this world forever. Even if he killed Zhao Mu or Shao Yuan Jun, this fact could not be changed. Now his great benefactor Yuan Zong is also confirmed to be dead. Alas.

What is all this for?

I will be killed by others at any time. Is that a kind of relief? Will I have a chance to see them again after death? Since the beginning of life, the problem of life and death has always troubled human beings. Is it just a short journey that is devoted to others?

Human existence does not end at the grave. No one has ever been able to answer or prove this question. The religious answer: heaven and hell, or beyond life and death, is probably just a subjective wish. But it doesn’t work without it, and there is nothing after death.

Having nothing is a difficult thing to accept.

Wu Zhuo, who was riding next to him, said: "Uncle Sun, in front of you is Xiuyue Mountain." Xiang Shaolong woke up with a shock, collected his mind, and looked forward. At this time, they had just left the house, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw only one

The mountain road leads directly to the top of the hill. There are forests of ancient trees on it, and huge mansions and towers can be seen. It is very impressive, but there is no sign of an ambush. There is an archway at the foot of the mountain with the name "Guo's Villa" written on it, but no one is guarding it.

.

The two of them turned into a sparse forest with the secret code they had agreed with Teng and Jing carved on the roadside, and jumped off their horses. The trees and grass were covered with snow, and the scene was pure and charming, but it was not conducive to hiding or escaping. Wu Zhuo was at the foot of another tree.

He found the markings everywhere, signaled to Xiang Shaolong, and headed deeper into the forest.

Xiang Shaolong carried the Mozi Sword on his back together with the leather bag Zhao Qian had made for him. He held the lost Feihong in his left hand and chased after Wu Zhuo. Suddenly, buildings appeared silently all around.

Figures of people and firelight surrounded them. "Qiang" Wu Zhuo took two rifles from his back and took them into his hand. He shouted loudly and rushed forward to break through the siege, not allowing the enemy time to figure out the terrain and consolidate the siege network.

Xiang Shaolong was grieving the deaths of his beloved beauty and Yuan Zong, and was full of resentment. He pulled out the wooden sword, held it in his right hand, and followed him behind, killing into the forest. The other party did not expect them to be so fierce. The two men blocking Wu Zhuo's way were

The man named Zhao Moxing hurriedly took a step back, and another man swung his sword.

With a "clang" sound, the blades and collars clashed, sparks bursting out in the darkness. Wu Zhuo deceived the opponent who was not as strong as himself, swung the sword away, leaving the enemy's door open, and used a fake body as if he was going to attack the other person.

At that moment, the Lian Collar in his left hand turned around, and the lightning broke into the opponent's empty door. The man was also very good. He returned the sword to guard and blocked the Lian Collar. Unexpectedly, he forgot about the Lian Collar in Wu Zhuo's right hand, and saw a flash of light.

, Wu Zhuo twisted his waist and moved the collar from bottom to top until it penetrated into the opponent's lower abdomen.

The traveler never thought that Wu Zhuo's collar was at such a tricky angle. He let out a scream, fell back, blood splashed onto the snow, and died on the spot. Wu Zhuo didn't stop, and the two collars turned into two flashes of lightning, and he flew forward.

Using the previous momentum, they attacked the other traveler. The war finally began.

These practitioners are all highly skilled in martial arts, but they never expected that the unknown Wu Zhuo would kill one of them just after they met. They all got red-eyed and gathered around. The sound of killing was loud. Xiang Shao followed closely behind Wu Zhuo.

Long had mastered Mozi's knack of guarding the heart with swordsmanship. He could clearly see every move and every move of the enemy. Moreover, because everyone's swordsmanship came from the same source, he was even more aware of the enemy's offensive.

Palm, and even see all the shortcomings and flaws.

He shouted violently, and used his left hand Feihong to strike wildly, and his right hand Mozi sword to chop hard. His left and right hands actually used two completely different strengths and moves, soft and strong. His eyes were burning with angry flames, and his expression was fierce.

He was cold and calm, as if he was a different person, and his aura was extremely intimidating. In the exchange of weapons, three travelers were injured at the same time, one of them was injured by Wu Zhuo's collar, and the other two were taken care of by Xiang Shaolong.

.

A loud shout came from the right side of Xiang Shaolong. A particularly tall walker who seemed to have some status came out from the crowd with an iron rod in his hand. He snatched it out from behind a tree. He stepped forward with his right foot, stepped back with his left foot, and leaned down.

He leaned forward, and the iron rod that shone in the firelight came straight to Xiang Shaolong's heart, accurately, hard, and urgently. Xiang Shaolong saw that there were no flaws in his movements, and knew that he had met a master among the practitioners, so he did not dare to

Slowly, Feihong with his left hand used "defense as offense" among the three major killing moves of Mozi's swordsmanship. He retracted his sword, the tip of the sword trembled, and he didn't know where to stab the enemy, to deal with the two men rushing towards him from the left.

The Mozi Sword in his right hand used the "twisting attack method" of "attacking to defend", turning into a long ray of light, leaping out like a snake, and entangled with the opponent's iron rod.

Mozi's swordsmanship is most beneficial to the enemy with a small number. Even if he can cope with the attacks from two sides at the same time, he will still not be confused at all. It also focuses on the feelings rather than just the eyes, so even if you are blindfolded, you can still deal with the enemy. In this kind of situation

In the environment of the dark forest, it was more beneficial to Xiang Shaolong to be illuminated by only a few torches on the periphery. The stick-wielding walker did not expect Xiang Shaolong to suddenly use such an exquisite move, and felt like a mad dragon coming out of the cave.

When the stick with astonishing strength touches the opponent's wooden sword, it feels like a cow sinking into the sea. It's so empty and empty that it can't use any strength.

Shocked, he instinctively drew his stick and retreated. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. It turned out that Xiang Shaolong flew up and hit a critical point. Even though his ability to endure pain was ten times stronger than the average person, he still screamed miserably and fell backwards.

, and couldn't get up again. Of course, this kick had nothing to do with Mozi's three major killing moves. For a person in the 21st century, he would not stick to the rules.

The two walkers on the other side thought that Xiang Shaolong had changed his defense and attacked with his sword. However, the light and shadow suddenly increased. One of them had his right hand cut off at the wrist, and the other was hit by a sword in the thigh. With a miserable groan, he stepped back and was hit.

Those who wanted to fill the gap fell left and right, and became a mess. Who would have thought that Xiang Shaolong's swordsmanship was so exquisite and cruel, which was very different from the gentle and gentle style of Mozi's swordsmanship.

Wu Zhuo's performance was no less impressive. He bumped into the middle of the two enemies, moved his hand between the swords, and used a close-quarters combat move. Although the enemy's sword drew a gash on his arm, at the same time,

Stab one of them in the chest, and hit the other enemy in the middle of the ear.

Suddenly the two men advanced about ten feet away. There was the sound of a crossbow machine behind them. The two men dodged behind the tree at the same time, and the crossbow arrows shot into the air. Although they killed and injured many people on the other side, the warrior warriors came from all directions like a tide, and the situation was still very unfavorable. Xiang

Shaolong saw that the situation was not right, so he returned the Feihong Sword to its sheath, reached into his outer robe, pulled out the flying needle with his left hand, and cast it continuously. This move was beyond the enemy's expectation, and several people were hit by the needle and fell to the ground.

When the other party saw Xiang Shaolong's hand raised, people were injured or killed, and they all fled behind the trees as if they were casting magic. The two of them dared to hesitate, and rushed towards the darkness, and in an instant they were submerged deep into the forest. The walkers were all left behind.

Behind them, people are still chasing after them.

Another question came. In the running and darkness of this escape, the secret marks left by Teng and Jing could be seen. Fortunately, at this moment, a night owl's call came from the far left front, which was very vivid. The two knew

It must be Jing Jun, a scheming boy, who was so happy that he followed the sound and touched it.

The woods were getting thicker and thicker, and the snow was deep, making it really difficult to move. I don’t know how many branches were broken. A small firelight fell from the sky in front of me like a spark. It turned out that Jing Jun jumped down from the tree easily and bowed to the two of them.

Eyes said: "Let's go this way." If they met a savior, they hurriedly followed him.

After a while, he walked up the slope and came to a large rock. The lights of the Guo family were faintly visible in the jungle above. Teng Yi appeared majestically on the rock, kneeling on one knee, holding a big bow, with a solemn face, staring at the people coming below.

With the firelight and human voices, the three people came behind him.

Wu Zhuoqi asked: "What do you want to do?" Teng Yi did not answer him. Wu Xiang and Wu Xiang were very surprised. They could not see the enemy clearly in such a dense forest, so how could they use their strong bows and arrows? Suddenly, there were screams from below.

Jing Jun said happily: "I fell in."

Both of them are excellent hunters, and they are first-rate masters in setting up animal pits. With a "swish", a powerful arrow left Teng Yi's fully loaded bow and shot into the dense forest. With a miserable hiss, Jing Jun rose to the challenge.

He said with admiration: "Brother Teng's 'Ye Lin Arrow' is so famous in Korea that even the rats walking by can't avoid it."

While talking, Teng Yi shot three arrows in a row with astonishing proficiency. The arrows were really perfect, and someone must have screamed in response. Only then did Xiang Wu and Wu realize that there was no more fire below. It turned out that the person holding the torch had been killed by Teng Yi.

Teng Yi shot him dead, and the fire fell to the snow, but it was not extinguished. Teng Yi's powerful arrows shot down one after another, and each arrow must hit one person. Wu Xiang and Wu Xiang were stunned, thinking that it was lucky that he was not an enemy, otherwise

I don’t know what it means to be dead.

Teng Yi put down his strong bow and said calmly: "No one dares to come up again." Jing Jun jumped up and said: "We have tied up the climbing rope and split the road. As long as we go up the rope, we can reach Guo Mansion in time."

Let’s have a banquet.” Xiang Shaolong didn’t expect to break Zhao Mo’s siege so easily, which shows that strategy is really important.

Thinking again that he could try the power of the three killing moves on Yan Ping, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride, and shouted in a low voice: "Let's go!" The Guo Family Villa is located on a hill, built along the mountain, although it is not as good as the Wushi Castle.

The stern imposing manner has the beauty of mountains and rivers that Wushi Castle lacks. In front of the house are two rows of towering ancient cypresses. The gate is brightly lit, and wind lanterns are hung on the high walls on the left and right, making it as bright as day. Xiang Shaolong announced at the door

Immediately, a middle-aged man who claimed to be the housekeeper Gao Bo personally led them into the house.

Passing through a stone road with small garden buildings on both sides, a majestic mansion stands in front of it. Just looking at this mansion, you can tell that Guo Zongfu is richer than a prince. The vast garden lights on both sides of the road are everywhere, and the colors on the left and right are

The symmetrical layout makes people feel that the more than twenty feet long stone road under their feet is the central axis of the mansion, and the mansion in front of them seems to be in the middle of this garden world.

There are two more pavilions in the garden, both of which are erected on a rectangular pool. They have double eaves and red tiles. There is a gorgeous crown on the top of the pavilion. Below is a white stone platform with beautifully carved railings. Let’s not worry about it for now.

Strange flowers and trees, small bridges and flowing water, and winding paths lead to tranquility. Just these two pavilions show the taste and ingenuity of the builders.

The arrangement of plants in the garden is also very thoughtful. Cold-resistant evergreens such as pines and cypresses are used as the main tone, coupled with deciduous trees and seasonal flowers, forming a rich green environment. Although the garden is full of frost, snow, and rain and snow,

But it still reminds people of the beautiful scenery in spring and summer. Strange stones moved from other places can be seen in the woods from time to time, which adds to the quiet and elegant atmosphere of the garden. The main residence is even more impressive against the backdrop of the garden, compared to Zhao Palace.

There is no need to give in too much. It is in a north-south layout, with nine bays in width and four bays in depth. It is rectangular, with double eaves and flying ridges on top, and a palace-style gate with a white stone platform below. There is a small spring in front of the house that runs east and west, and two shelves.

This stone bridge with white jade railings is so majestic that it is unbelievable.

Jing Jun, a boy who has lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, was even more dumbfounded. He leaned into Xiang Shaolong's ear and whispered: "How can you sleep in such a big house?" Xiang Shaolong saw the housekeeper wearing silk in front of him.

Leading the way, he couldn't hear their reply, so he smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sleep with a beautiful girl in your arms?" Jing Jun immediately beamed, obviously thinking about the program after returning to Wufu tonight.

Xiang Shaolong thought of Zhao Gong, and couldn't help but think of Zhao Ni whose fragrant soul had disappeared. He recalled the touching scene of having sex with her in the imperial garden, and his heart ached, wishing he could stab himself twice to relieve the heart-gnawing pain.

Will he be able to endure the fight with Zhao Muxu later? Seeing his face turn pale, Teng Yi understood what was on his mind, reached out and grabbed his arm hard, and said in a deep voice: "The important thing is the most important thing." The two of them said.

They exchanged a look, and both of them felt that they were sincere confidants.

Xiang Shaolong suppressed the pain in his heart and forced his mind to go blank. He walked up the stone bridge and walked up the long steps to the mansion. There were sixteen seats in the mansion, arranged on the left and right sides of the lobby. Xiang Shaolong and the four of them

When he entered, all the other guests had arrived. Guo Zong greeted the guests attentively and introduced them one by one. Zhao Mu brought a group of generals to demonstrate tonight. Just by looking at their sturdy appearance, you can tell that they are powerful swordsmen.

, the master and twelve people occupied four seats.

Yan Ping, in white scarf and linen clothes, was alone, wearing a pair of straw sandals on his feet as an exception. He had the pride and freedom of a loner. If it weren't for the hatred of Yuan Zong that formed an insurmountable barrier between the two, maybe Xiang Shaolong would have reconciled.

He had some friendship, but now he can only solve it by force, which is the most common method in this era.
To be continued...
