A knife in love

Chapter 406

Although the Zhu family came from an aristocratic family, the Zhu family was ordered by Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao to hibernate in the wilderness, so they were able to do all kinds of farm work since they were young.As for building houses, they are no strangers.Hearing Li Qiufeng's words, he shook his head and said, "Young Master Li, this tower looks extremely heavy, and it was not built casually. I have been to the Forbidden City several times. This tower is indeed as indestructible as the Meridian Gate. [-]. It’s just that there are fewer patrolling soldiers, and there are no lanterns hanging under the eaves of the archery towers in Taicheng.”

Everyone looked towards the tower again.At this time, it seems that at dawn, the stars are still there, and the east is just showing its belly.There was silence all around, and there seemed to be thousands of troops hidden in the city, faintly exuding a heavy murderous aura.

Situ Qiao said: "Don't care what Yao Guangxiao built this tower for, let's go in and have a look."

Everyone was silent, feeling a little uneasy.After Situ Qiao finished speaking, he didn't hear any answer from the crowd, so he turned around involuntarily, looked at the crowd and said, "If you don't move forward, you have to go back the same way, what do you think?"

Everyone has the intention to quit, but no one wants to say it.So after hearing Situ Qiao's words, he couldn't help but look at Liu Yong.Liu Yong couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he looked at Li Qiufeng again.

Li Qiufeng stared at the Meridian Gate Tower, and his thoughts changed sharply: "It is indeed a very strange thing that this tower appeared underground. With Yao Guangxiao's ability, this tower is definitely not a good place. But if you want to go back the same way at this time, Even if you can pass through the bottomless abyss safely, it is not easy to return to the cave from the gate of life. Even if you retreat, the five army battalions in the valley may not withdraw from the siege. At that time, they will still be trapped I'm at a loss in the mountain cave. It's better to fight to the death, find a passage here, and solve the immediate danger, that's the best policy."

Thinking of this, he said to Liu Yong: "Mr. Liu, we can say that we have found the most important part of Yao Guangxiao's construction of this cave when we came here. Although this city tower is not a good place, it relies on the martial arts knowledge of the seniors. , It is not difficult to get out of the body. In Li's opinion, it is the best policy to move forward."

Liu Yong nodded after hearing this, and said to everyone, "What do you guys think of Brother Li's idea?"

Deng Yao said: "Hero Li doesn't say anything. Since we've come here and touched Yao Guangxiao's ass, how can we retreat easily? If we escape back like this with our tails between our legs, how can we have the face to meet the heroes of the world. My old beggar has made up his mind , but Mr. Liu and Mr. Li follow suit."

When Deng Yao spoke, the rest of the people also nodded in agreement.Taoist Qingfeng said with a smile: "Yao Guangxiao was a big shot back then. If he was really as powerful as the legends say, he might still be alive now. Let's meet him for a while."

Situ Qiao was a little impatient, stomped his right foot on the ground twice, turned around and walked towards the tower.As soon as everyone saw Situ Qiao leaving first, whoever would fall behind followed closely behind.

At this time, everyone was walking in an open space, and they no longer needed to line up in a single file like in stone caves and corridors.So a dozen or so people lined up in a long row, approaching the tower in a fan shape.

The city tower looked extremely majestic from a distance, the more people walked forward, the more they felt that the city tower stood tall and majestic.The people walked forward for more than twenty zhang, and they reached between the two Taichengs on the left and right.At this time, the ground under the feet is no longer a ground polished by rocks, but a flat road paved with large square bricks.Liu Yong said as he walked, "This is strange. This place is buried deep in the ground. To transport this square brick here, I don't know what method Yao Guangxiao used to do it."

Situ Qiao looked around while walking, and after listening to Liu Yong's words, he said without turning his head: "Judging from the terrain here, although it has been artificially repaired, it is only a cave of this scale. Manpower, even if there are tens of millions of people, it is absolutely impossible to dig such a large space. The ground is so flat, it must be a lot of rocks to be leveled, and this project is definitely not small. Thinking about Yao Guangxiao The materials were collected from the ground, and the shoveled stones were ground into square bricks, which were used to build the city and lay the ground..."

Before he finished speaking, the place where his right foot stepped on suddenly softened, and then he heard a "poof", and a square brick in the ground had already collapsed.Situ Qiao's heart trembled, and when he was about to retreat, his right foot sank.

The pit was not too deep, not even reaching Situ Qiao's knees.After his right foot fell into it, he stepped on a round thing in an instant.Due to the sudden incident, it was too late for Situ Qiao to stop.He only felt that after stepping on the thing with his right foot, there seemed to be a soft "click", and the thing under his feet had dropped a few points.

Situ Qiao was startled, turned his head and shouted to everyone: "No, there is a mechanism here!"

Before he finished speaking, he could only hear the continuous "crackling" sound from all around.Everyone is good at martial arts. After hearing this voice, everyone's complexion changed drastically.Zhu Sanjia was born in the army, so he is most familiar with this voice.He shouted: "The enemy is attacking us with bows and arrows, everyone quickly find a way to escape!"

It's just that just after he finished speaking, countless feathered arrows on the left and right sides have already arrived in front of everyone.Fortunately, everyone had been prepared for a long time, and each drew out their swords to block the feather arrows.These people are all martial arts masters, although countless feather arrows struck, they were all knocked out by everyone.It's just that Zhu Sanjia didn't have any weapons on him, so he had to use the torch in his hand to block the flying feather arrows.After all, this torch is not as effective as a sword. He was a little slow in covering it, and a feathered arrow penetrated the circle in which the torch was waving in his hand, and shot into his left chest with a "poof".

The arrow was so powerful, Zhu Sanjia was startled, he turned his body backwards, and relieved most of the arrow's force.Even so, the arrow still shot into Cunxu, and the injury was really serious.Zhu Sanjia endured the pain, held the shaft of the arrow with his left hand, pulled hard, and pulled out the arrow.A stream of blood spurted out from the wound immediately, he hastily covered the wound with his left hand, and kept hitting the flying feather arrows with the torch with his right hand.

When the feather arrow hit, Situ Qiao's right foot sank into the ground, so he couldn't dodge and dodge the flying feather arrow for a while.Fortunately, Liu Yong was following behind him. Seeing that the situation was not good, he drew his long sword and made a circle around Situ Bridge.While walking, he swung his long sword and hit the incoming feather arrows.Situ Qiao took the opportunity to pull his right leg out of the hole, and three feathered arrows flew over from the circle formed by Liu Yong's long sword, hitting Situ Qiao's face.

At this critical moment, Situ Qiao had no time to think about it.He raised the torch in his left hand, and a flying arrow was nailed to the torch.His right hand stretched out from his big sleeve, and there was already a chi-long steel claw on his hand.One end of the steel grip was put on Situ Qiao's hand, and the other end shone coldly.With a wave of his right hand, he made two "clank" sounds, and knocked out the two feather arrows that flew towards his face.

At this time, Li Qiufeng had rushed to Zhu Sanjia, and while helping him to cover the flying arrows, he asked him how his injuries were.Zhu Sanjia resisted the pain in his chest, and said: "Mr. Li, you can rest assured, my old Zhu is strong and fleshy, and I won't die for a while!"

Li Qiufeng was anxious, and accidentally saw the steel claw in Situ Qiao's hand, and his heart shivered.He fought Situ Qiao twice along the way, but he never saw Situ Qiao use a weapon.At this critical moment, Situ Qiao finally revealed this unique weapon, which surprised Li Qiufeng.

Seeing that Zhu Sanjia was injured by an arrow, Liu Yong swung his sword and struck the feather arrow and said loudly: "My friends, Mr. Zhu was injured by an arrow. Everyone form a circle and protect him in the middle."

After everyone heard this, they approached Zhu Sanjia while shielding the feather arrows.A moment later, everyone surrounded Zhu Sanjia to help him resist the attack of Yujian.And after everyone formed a circle, they only needed to block the incoming arrows, and they didn't have to worry about the left and right sides and the back, and the pressure immediately decreased a lot.

After Zhu Sanjia was rescued, he swayed a few times, only to feel that the golden stars were dancing in front of his eyes, and half of his body was no longer in control.He tried his best to see the situation around him clearly, but unexpectedly his head became dizzy, and he screamed in his heart that something was wrong. He was about to speak, but unexpectedly his legs gave way and he fell headfirst to the ground.

At that time, Liu Yong heard a "plop" and turned his head to look hastily, only to see that Zhu Sanjia had already fallen straight on the ground.He was shocked, and while hitting the feather arrow, he said to Xu Chenghe who was standing on his right side: "Mr. Zhu fell down! I'll go and have a look, please ask Master Xu to block this gap for me!"

Xu Chenghe agreed.Liu Yong swung his long sword, knocked two feathered arrows flying, and took two steps back suddenly.Xu Chenghe's figure was like lightning, and he took a half step to the left, immediately blocking the gap Liu Yong retreated from.With the sword in his hand glowing, he blocked all the flying feather arrows.

Liu Yong saw that Xu Chenghe and the others had re-arranged the formation and had no worries, so he hurriedly turned around and ran to Zhu Sanjia.At this time, Zhu Sanjia was lying face down on the ground, Liu Yong turned him over, and when he touched him, he felt his body was cold, and couldn't help but shuddered.After he turned Zhu Sanjia's body over, he looked through the starlight and saw that Zhu Sanjia's face was covered with a layer of black air.Liu Yong's heart trembled, and he thought to himself that this was clearly a symptom of being poisoned, not the result of an arrow wound.He laid Zhu Sanjia gently on the ground, and with his right hand, he tapped seven large acupoints on Zhu Sanjia's chest to block the poisonous gas from invading the internal organs.Then he took out the porcelain bottle from his bosom, took out two detoxification pills secretly made by the Huashan School, and stuffed them into Zhu Sanjia's mouth.It's just that Zhu Sanjia's whole body was already stiff at this time, even though the pill fell into his mouth, he couldn't swallow it.

Liu Yong was so anxious that he pinched Zhu Sanjia's cheek with his left hand and pressed Zhu Sanjia's throat with his right hand.Just hearing Zhu Sanjia's mouth uttering a "ho", the Adam's apple rolled slightly, and the two pills in his mouth had been swallowed by himself.

From Zhu San's shooting arrow to Liu Yong forcibly feeding the antidote pill into his mouth, it was just a matter of lightning and flint.While wielding the Xiuchun knife, Li Qiufeng hit the flying feather arrows while secretly calculating in his mind, and found that the feather arrows shot four rounds in total.He thought to himself: "At the beginning, the feather arrows were shot from the Taicheng on both sides, and later from the Taicheng in front and the stone wall behind, there were also feather arrows. It was not caused by manpower, but after triggering the mechanism, The feathered arrows were shot from all directions only after the mechanism was activated. If it is caused by the mechanism, after a few rounds of shooting, after all the feather arrows installed in the standby bracket have been shot out, there is no need to worry.”

Sure enough, after the seventh round of feathered arrows passed by, there were no more feathered arrows in the surrounding area.Only then did Li Qiufeng heave a sigh of relief, and turned his head to look, only to see that Liu Yong just gave Zhu Sanjia the pill and was about to put him back on the ground.Li Qiufeng turned around, walked towards the two of them and asked, "Mr. Liu, how is Brother Zhu's injury?"

Liu Yong replied while laying Zhu Sanjia's body flat: "Mr. Zhu's arrow is poisonous. His injury is not serious, but the poison is very serious. Although I gave him the antidote pills of the Huashan sect, it didn't hurt. know if it works..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard strange noises all around again.This time it was different from the sound when the feather arrow was shot just now, it was a very deep "woo woo".Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he looked to the left after looking for the voice.Under the shining starlight, a ray of silver light flew straight over from the platform city in the middle, and attacked Deng Yao, the leader of the beggar gang who was facing the platform city in the middle.

Deng Yao saw that the silver light was coming so fast that it was too late to dodge it.What's more, if he dodges, there will be a gap in the defensive circle formed by everyone.At that time, I am afraid that there will be casualties among the unsuspecting heroes.Thinking of this, Deng Yao knew that the silver light was coming fast, but he still gritted his teeth, swung the stick in his hand, and smashed it straight towards the flying silver light.
