Astral Apostle - Chapter 257

[Two hundred and forty-five on the Suolong Ridge]

The fog filled the air, and a group of soldiers and horses was passing through the road between the mountains.

The scholars were disheartened and weak, and no one spoke during the march.

This is the defeat of the Tianwangzhai all the way, there are only less than a thousand people left, and the morale is low, and Lu Longchuan is among them.

With a look of exhaustion on his face that could not be concealed, he frequently observed the back and surroundings, looking alert, like a bird frightened.

Since the real Yufeng was poisoned and assassinated by the insiders, Chen Feng freed up his hands to attack the fortified

village , and the war situation turned sharply.

Some people were killed and others were captured, and there were countless deserters, turning into defeated soldiers in various ways.

Now Lu Longchuan is surrounded by only a dozen leaders such as Sun Rong and Shi Hu.

That Master Yufeng, even when he was defeated, ran away with his disciples without a trace.

The soldiers and horses he led had broken their tails to survive, barely broke through the siege and killed them. Now they have been fleeing for many days, they are exhausted.

After being defeated in such a situation, Lu Longchuan knew that there was nothing he could do, and he only had one thought, and that was to throw away the pursuers and escape from Huyang.

He looked around at the dejected defeated soldiers, and when he thought of the huge power of Tianwangzhai, there were only a few people left, and his heart was bleeding.

Decades of foundation work, all at once!

It hurts, it hurts too much!

”

傂…” Lu Longchuan groaned suddenly, covering the wound under his ribs,

“Brother, can you still hold on?”

Shi Hu hurriedly compacted Come over, his tone is concerned.

“Huh… I’m fine. I haven’t seen it for many years, and Guo Haishen’s martial arts are more and more amazing, and they are stronger than what I was in the past.”

Lu Longchuan exhaled with a complicated expression.

In the previous battle, he fought against Guo Haishen in the chaos of the army.

Many years ago, when he was the “Heavenly King”, the overlord of the green forest, Guo Haishen once went to the north to challenge him. There was no winner or loser, but he was still stronger. But

now, he is old and his martial arts have declined. , And that Guo Haishen, who has intensively cultivated a lot of martial arts, is very capable, and under this situation, he, the former No. 1 master of Green Forest, can no longer beat others.

He sighed in his heart, feeling both himself and the impermanence of fate.

At this time, in the fog ahead, a strangely shaped mountain appeared, with steep terrain.

Lu Longchuan hurriedly ordered the entire army to stop, and immediately came to the front of the team.

“Where is the place ahead, it’s so sinister!”

Hearing the words, Sun Rong on the side pondered: “We have now fled to the southwest of Huyang Pingzhou, there are many mountains and dense forests here, I see that the mountain in front of me looks like a black dragon. Yushan should be what the locals call Suolong Ridge. ”

Suolong Ridge!

Lu Longchuan’s heart jumped suddenly, and he only felt that it was very unlucky.

Sun Rong continued: “The map shows that

there is a small path in Suolongling. If you can find a guide to lead the way, you can go directly through it, which can save a lot of distance. After leaving Suolongling, there is a big road, which leads directly to Pingzhou Prefecture. Continue to march for a few days, and you will be able to leave the Huyang boundary, and then it will be safe.”

Lu Longchuan subconsciously rejected entering Suolongling and said: “I see the terrain ahead is dangerous, there may be an ambush, why don’t you go around?”

Sun Rong frowned: ” The soldiers are very fast. If we detour, we will not be able to delay for a day or two. Once the chasing soldiers arrive, we will have no way to escape. Now we only have remnants of defeated soldiers. If Longwangzhai can rush ahead of us, it is better to show up directly to intercept us. :”

“This… okay.”

Lu Longchuan thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

He sent a sentry to look for people nearby, and soon found a small village with less than 100 households. Most of the local hunters

saw soldiers coming to the door. The villagers were very vigilant and took out their hunting bows. or pitchfork.

Lu Longchuan didn’t want to make troubles, and said he only wanted to cross the mountain and find a guide.

Because Longwangzhai was very popular in Huyang, he was quite wary of the local villagers and did not dare to declare his name, and just pretended to be an ordinary deserter all the way.

At the same time, he also carefully observed the expressions of the villagers, and if he noticed any difference, he immediately ordered the slaughter

.

At this time, a young man with good health came out and said solemnly:

“I am a hunter in this village, I am very familiar with this mountain and forest, and I am willing to be a guide to guide you across the mountains, but please don’t hurt the villagers. ”

Lu Longchuan nodded: “I just want to cross the ridge quickly. If you cooperate, I won’t bother.”

“It’s a deal, let me appease the villagers a few words, and we’ll set off here.”

The young man ordered Nodding his head, he turned back and whispered a few words to the villagers, as if to comfort him, and then walked into the army of Lu Longchuan.

Lu Longchuan had been observing, but he didn’t notice anything unusual. He asked if someone from Longwang Village had come recently. After getting the unanimous denial of the villagers, he let the guide lead the way, and the group entered the mountain.

This young man is indeed an old hunter, walking in the mountains and forests like walking on the ground, and he is quite familiar with the path.

Lu Longchuan saw the young man’s vigorous steps and good skills, so he couldn’t help but ask: “What’s your name? I see you. Agile movements, but have you practiced martial arts?”

The young man nodded and replied casually:

“The villain’s name is Lu Sheng, and he has indeed practiced it. In this Huyang realm, who can’t have a few crops? Especially like us who have hunted and lived. Yes

, if you don’t practice some superficial martial arts, one day you will encounter a beast and you will not be able to run.”

Lu Longchuan nodded silently, but it was not surprising.

Having stayed in Huyang for so long, he is no stranger to the abundance of martial virtues of the local villagers.

After all, Chen Feng was unscrupulous in spreading martial arts, and even the tongue twisters of the villagers might be the secrets of martial arts secrets from some major school.

With Lu Sheng leading the way, this troop did not move slowly, and soon went deep into Suolongling.

But seeing the mist in the forest and the shadows of the trees, although it was daytime, the sight was rather dim,

Lu Sheng wiped his sweat and said, “Follow this path for another two hours, and you will be able to catch up with the darkness. We’re out

of the mountain.”

“That’s good.” Lu Longchuan exhaled.

On the way, he had been on guard all the time, for fear of an ambush, but there was no movement, which finally gave him a lot of peace of mind.

However, at this moment , In the woods not far away, a clattering sound suddenly sounded, as if many people were running and approaching.

At the same time, a thunderous shout suddenly sounded in the forest:

“Hahaha, it’s coming!”

“I’m waiting for the ambush in this place, but it’s not in vain!”

“Dragon King Village is here, it’s not too late to surrender! ”

Hugh is going to leave the enemy!”

A cry of killing exploded, and Lu Longchuan and his group were instantly shocked.

“What, there is actually an ambush!” Sun Rong was shocked

and the team directly blew the pot. The soldiers who were in low morale didn’t wait for the leader to command, and fled in the opposite direction of the shouting. Quickly scattered in the misty forest, the

leaders such as Lu Longchuan were already frightened by Chen Feng, and they did not dare to stay to fight, so they turned around and ran away.

Behind them, the shouts of killing were always with the shadows, near and far, and

unknowingly, Lu Longchuan and others had been chased and changed directions several times.

Suddenly, a group of people stepped on the air, exclaimed and fell into a trap that was camouflaged by a thin leaf cover, and a short bamboo spear was set in the hole.

Thump, thump!

The group hurriedly turned around to avoid, but they were still hit, pierced by the bamboo spear, screaming in pain, and bleeding profusely.

Most of the people were pierced by bamboo spears, and their bodies were covered in green armor. Bamboo spears were difficult to penetrate and would not directly kill them.

Lu Longchuan’s shoulder and calf were pierced, and he was sweating profusely in pain.

At this moment, figures appeared on the edge of the cave. They were all the villagers from before, all dressed as hunters. The leader was Lu Sheng who had led the way.

At this time, the group of hunters drew bows and arrows and aimed at everyone in the cave.

“Wait, don’t move around, or else the arrows will be fired, and I will teach you to die under ten thousand arrows piercing your heart!”

Lu

Sheng shouted.

The purpose of being a guide is to lead us into this trap?!”

Lu Sheng did not change his face, and said solemnly:

“You want to be wrong, this cave is a trap for trapping animals, and we are not from Longwangzhai. I tell you to understand!

You guys who are defeated are looking for a guide. After this is done, they will definitely kill me. I can only do

it first. Lu Sheng is in Huyang, and our life is much more comfortable than usual. You guys If the imperial court comes, it will take away the good days for me. If you are not big, I will cut off the heads of a few officers and soldiers to feel uncomfortable. It just so happens that I need a certificate to join the army. You guys Wearing armor and helmets, in my opinion, most of them are generals in the army, and catching you is considered a meritorious service. After I go up the mountain, I can be a leader.”

Hearing this, Yu Feng’s face trembled and his whole body trembled.

He thought he was in an ambush by the enemy army, but he didn’t expect to be planted in the hands of a group of rural people! It’s

really the hands of an 80-year-old girl! It’s a

shame!

“Brother, don’t panic, wait until I kill all these stupid villagers , get out of the country!”

Shi Hu suddenly stood up and roared loudly, ignoring the bamboo spear stuck in his body, he was about to stare at the wall and jump to the ground, kicking off a killing spree.

“Release the arrow!”

Sun Rong let go without hesitation,

Boom boom boom!

There was a sound of bowstrings, and a dozen arrows flew out of the air. Duduu shot Shihu into a hedgehog, and he died with his eyes open.

“Two tigers!”

Xi Yicai’s eyes were splitting, a force surged up in his body, temporarily suppressed the pain, jumped up directly, and slashed at Sun Rong with a slash in the air.

The blade was whistling and the wind was blowing, containing the strength to cut gold and break jade.

However, Sun Rong was not afraid. He pulled out his waist knife to meet him. He actually blocked the powerful and heavy knife, and also restrained the leaping momentum of Yufeng, and counter-pressured the opponent who had nowhere to use the air. go down.

Even if Yufeng was not seriously injured and his skills were greatly reduced, Sun Rong could actually block the opponent’s full-strength slash, and his martial arts were not weak.

That Yufeng was pushed back into the hole by a knife and wanted to jump up again.

However, the next moment, his body suddenly stagnates and he

only hears a few squeaks. Several arrows are driven into his back,

but it is the hunter who is surrounded by the other side of the hole.

Xi Yicai’s eyes are black. It suddenly dissipated, and the whole body was soft and weak, and it was only when he hit the ground with a knife post that he held it strong and did not fall down.

“My life is over…

That Yufeng was bleeding from his mouth and muttered to himself. When

Chen Feng saw this, he couldn’t take care of his injury anymore, so he quickly reported himself to his family and shouted,

“Stop! Stop! He is the master of Tianwangzhai. The head of Yufeng, we are all leaders of Tianwangzhai, save our lives and send them to Xi Yi, which is a great contribution to you!”

Sun Rong raised his brows, and suddenly laughed with joy, “Oh, it looks like I got it. a big fish.

”

Somewhere in Pingzhou, Huyang, Longwanghan’s chasing soldiers were in the middle of a speech.

Lu Sheng rode on horseback, followed by a group of leaders, who were talking and discussing

, “We have been chasing for a long time, and most of the leaders of Tianwangzhai have been caught, but it’s a pity Never found that Yufeng.

I don’t know where I ran to, wouldn’t I have already run out of the Huyang boundary?”

Hong Ding first said in a deep voice.

Lu Sheng said casually: “It doesn’t matter, it’s good to be able to catch it, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t catch it. Anyway, we have captured most of the people in Tianwangzhai, so the foundation of Yufeng has been lost, and even if it slips away, it will not be a climate.”

Fang Zhi Touching his chin, he said, “Second brother, I figured out why you are trying to distance yourself. You are trying to subdue those leaders, but you want to subdue them?”

Lu Sheng nodded: “That’s true, but this is just one of them.

, another reason is that they are kind to the eldest brother, so they try not to kill them.”

Lu Longchuan sighed: “Alas, the two armies are sitting opposite each other. To repay the kindness for my brother, to be moral and righteous, I really feel ashamed for my brother. If they don’t want to surrender, then you should not take my face into account, the second brother, just kill it.”

“We will talk about it later,” Xi Yi said. no respond.

At this moment, Duan Yunfeng suddenly sneered and said, “If it hadn’t been for real Guo Haishen being poisoned by spies, we wouldn’t have been able to win so much tension. Those treacherous officials in the courtroom, Gouguanjing, would fight in their dens, so I really didn’t see them wrong.”

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but smile.

They were originally curious as to why Master Yufeng suddenly disappeared, but now that they have captured a large number of enemy troops, they naturally inquired about the situation, and they became more and more contemptuous of the imperial court.

In order to fight for power and profit, one’s own people backstabbed one’s own people, but instead they were cheapened by their foreign enemies.

Everyone just felt that the gentlemen above the court were becoming more and more helpless, and they despised

“this is the contempt of meat-eaters, and they failed to plan far-sighted.” Fang Zhen

Shaking his head What is the use of these words? Lu Longchuan scratched his head, UU reading www.sonicmtl

Duan Yunfeng paused for a while, and then said with regret: “Unfortunately, the teacher, Yicai Zhenren, ran away from the chaotic army, and when he recovers later, he can contain the village owner, and he is a formidable enemy. If you stay, you will be able to cut off the right arm of the dog emperor.”

“That’s right.” Fang Zhen agreed, and then said with a wicked smile: “However, the real person Guo Haishen has such a rich family background that he brought so many gold and silver treasures, and it was cheaper for us in the end… I don’t know what he meant by bringing these treasures to the expedition. Is it possible that you still want to enjoy while fighting?”

Hearing this, Xi Yi interrupted the conversation and interjected:

“Okay, don’t think about it, let’s go after Yufeng first,”

everyone agreed.

At this moment, a cavalry scout suddenly came running from the front and shouted loudly!

“Report! There is a group of villagers blocking the road ahead. All the leaders of Tianwangzhai want to offer prisoners to us!” When

everyone heard the words, their expressions changed immediately, they were surprised and curious

. Lu Longchuan was shocked: “That Xi Yicai was planted in the hands of a group of villagers? Is it true?”

Lu Sheng raised his brows , laughed

“This is really easy to come by, brothers, come with me to greet Commander Lu!”
