The next morning, Cheng Dalei returned to Toad City with his sword. Of course, he found nothing. He had to admit that he still underestimated the nun in white.
Although her body was seriously injured, she still had excellent leg strength. Cheng Dalei could probably keep up with her in the first half of the night, but later on, he couldn't see her shadow at all. This journey really made Cheng Dalei very tired.
, his physical strength was almost exhausted, if he continued to chase, Cheng Dalei estimated that even if he caught up, he might be the one who died.
The mistakes that Nie Yinniang made were something he could not make again. So Cheng Dalei saw that he could not catch up halfway, so he wisely came back.
Compared with last time, Toad City was much calmer this time. No soldiers were sent to search for him. They just put a few eyes at the city gate. As soon as there was news about Cheng Dalei, they immediately returned to the city to report.
"Master, you are back." The city gate guard greeted.
"Come back, come back." Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "Everyone is busy, everyone is busy."
"Have you killed the old nun?"
Cheng Dalei glanced at him and ignored him at all. Who brought these soldiers? They couldn't speak.
Cheng Dalei returned to the city lord's palace with his sword, and he was naturally not very happy. Being escaped by the white-clothed nun and not completing the mission were not that important. The important thing was that he had lost the lives of more than a dozen brothers, not even a hair on his body.
Nothing left.
Cheng Dalei really couldn't swallow this breath.
Cheng Dalei was unhappy, but Qin Man was even more depressed than him. He sent out thousands of what he thought were elite soldiers and generals, but in the end, some of them escaped. The Manzi Army suffered a huge loss this time.
Qin Man is currently training his soldiers intensively and venting all his grievances on them. Knowing the news of Cheng Dalei's return, he did not come over to meet him, probably because he felt that he was in trouble with others.
However, this also made Cheng Dalei understand one thing. For real masters, the human wave tactic will not have much effect. For people like the old nun in white, bows and arrows cannot pose a threat to her. In close combat, too many sacrifices will be made.
Big. Killing one person with a hundred lives, you don’t have to think about the cost. It’s really not worth it.
Nowadays, it is really a world where Jianghu people show their talents.
Cheng Dalei let out a sigh, he learned martial arts and sold his goods to the emperor's family. If he really had superb martial arts, there would be no market in this world.
With Nie Yinniang and the nun in white, Cheng Dalei estimates that there will definitely be a lot of people in the world who want to kill him. In the future, there will be endless assassinations like today, and he must find a way to deal with them.
The idea Cheng Dalei came up with was to train a team of Jianghu Rangers to be used as special forces. If they encounter people like the old nun in white, they would directly attack them in groups and kill them.
However, there is still a problem with this matter, which is the problem of manpower. If Cheng Dalei summons a group of martial arts masters through the general platform, it is indeed not too difficult. But because of the violent attribute, it is equivalent to summoning a group of martial arts masters for himself in disguise.
Criticize powerful opponents. Isn’t this how Nie Yinniang and the old nun in white did it?
Things are stuck here for the moment, and Cheng Dalei doesn't know how to proceed. However, there is no rush in this matter. As long as Cheng Dalei stays in Toad City and doesn't leave, no one with great ability can threaten his own safety.
However, recently, the village needs to strengthen its defenses to prevent the old nun in white from trying to kill him.
…
The nun in white is in a very bad situation now. I thought that with my ability, it would not be too difficult to take Cheng Dalei's head. Who would have thought that this would be the first time he came out of the mountain after living in seclusion in the valley for more than ten years, and he kicked out the mountain head happily.
One kick, and the first kick out of the mountain was firmly on the iron plate.
After getting rid of Cheng Dalei's pursuit, she hid in a cave. Naturally, she killed the wild beast in the cave and wrapped her belly.
When he was hungry, he hunted small animals in the mountains to fill his stomach and collected herbs from the mountains to heal his wounds. He stayed in the cave for seven days and then left the mountain after seven days.
In fact, she has not escaped from the control of Toad City yet, but she really doesn't have the courage to turn back and kill Cheng Dalei. She failed the first time, and if she comes for the second time, she will probably lose her life.
Thinking carefully about this operation, I really underestimated Cheng Dalei. I thought Cheng Dalei was a loser, but I didn't expect that his skills were so hard. Now her clothes are in tatters, with blood and grass clippings hanging on her body. She is no different from the displaced refugees.
Any difference, the superior demeanor in him is completely lost.
Thinking of this incident made me really depressed, and then the depression turned into determination to kill Cheng Dalei. But in my current situation, I really couldn't kill Cheng Dalei.
I'm afraid... I need to find some helpers.
She walked out of the mountains, stole a set of clothes and a horse in a small town, and tidied them up in a remote suburb. Only in this way did she regain some of her superior demeanor.
Riding his horse all the way west, he passed through the area of Liangzhou controlled by Cheng Dalei. On the way, he wanted to meet a few patrolling soldiers from Toad City so that he could kill them to vent his anger. Unfortunately, Toad City didn't seem to take him seriously at all.
, and did not send out a large army to search for him.
In this case, I am a little curious about Cheng Dalei. Where did such a mountain bandit learn such amazing kung fu, that continuous and fierce swordsmanship? Thinking about it now still gives me lingering fear.
She went all the way west, passing through the grassland, and then reached the high mountains, which are inaccessible places. Perhaps no human has set foot here for thousands of years. The snow on the mountains does not melt all year round, and the clouds and mist surround the snow peaks, as if they have never been there since ancient times.
A speck of dust drifted here.
When she arrived at the Snowy Peak, she abandoned her horse and walked up the hillside. After walking for an unknown amount of time, she saw no green spots in front of her eyes, only a glacier that chilled her heart.
She continued to move forward through the ice and snow, and was almost on the snowy peak. The winding road in front of her saw a thatched house standing on a platform halfway up the mountain.
There was an old man squatting in front of the thatched house. The old man was wrapped in a frozen animal skin coat, and his white hair was spread down. He didn't know how many years he had lived.
The old nun in white stepped closer. The old man raised his head and stared at the nun in white, with incredible fear on his face.
He stood up suddenly, screamed strangely, turned around and ran away, came to the edge of the cliff, jumped up and jumped down.
The nun in white didn't have much reaction on her face. She seemed to understand this man's character very well. She stood in front of the hut and waited for a while.
After a long time, I saw a figure climbing down the hillside again, limping up to the old nun in white, staring at him with unkind eyes.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh: "It's been so long, why do you still want to trouble me?"
