The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

Looking around in a hurry, besides himself, there were only two wounded left in the tent.Song Wei jumped to the edge of the tent quickly and carefully, opened a gap, and peeped out quietly.

It was getting brighter.As far as the eye could see, there were more than a dozen intruders. The four bodyguards took most of the attack, and the other four servants also knew how to use superficial moves, and together they entangled an enemy.Although the strength of one's own side is not weak, the comers are obviously all aggressive, and each other is fierce and fierce, and the fight is inextricable.

Because of the disadvantaged number and the eagerness to protect the master, the bodyguards headed by Zhang Qi obviously did not leave any room for play.

Song Wei was a little relieved, and only hoped that Xuan Qing's subordinates were all peerless masters, and it would be easy for one to outnumber ten.Unexpectedly, while he was peeking without blinking his eyes, he let out a few short screams. Because it was difficult to resist the siege, two bodyguards were injured by the enemy one after another. situation.

Song Wei secretly screamed inwardly.Zhang Qi also knew that the situation was imminent, and there was no way out, so he shouted loudly, instead of retreating, he led his subordinates to fight hard, and temporarily regained a little balance.

Song Wei glanced again, thinking that sooner or later she would lose.Although he only knows how to do street fights, which is completely incomparable to real kung fu, he has a lot of experience in watching the crowds.Looking at it, I saw something strange again.The opponent could obviously be more ruthless, and could have greeted more directly at the vital point; why didn't the two men with longbows on their backs back a few feet and shoot a few arrows into the tent?

The meaning was too obvious. The opponent wanted to catch someone alive, so he didn't dare to shoot arrows without knowing who was in the tent.Moreover, it seems that they are not willing to fight with third-party forces.

Song Wei retreated into the tent, gently pulled out the long sword from the waist of the unconscious man, and with Li Ting's bewildered expression, placed the blade of the sword firmly on his neck.

The voice was kept to a minimum, and the eyes were as cold as ice: "Say, who are you? Why are they chasing you?"

"I, I said..."

Song Wei raised the corner of her mouth and shook her hands lightly.The sword was obviously top-grade, and a bloodstain was cut on the neck immediately: "Very well, the one who killed you and gave them to die, or the one that was sent to live for them, choose one."

Li Ting opened his mouth to scream, but immediately covered it himself.Looking at one of the benefactors who smiled harmlessly before going to bed, his eyes were full of fear.The cold breath emanating from the other party told him that if he defied his intention, he would definitely honor what he just said without hesitation.

Despair deepened each time, making him hover on the verge of collapse. At this moment, he couldn't hold on any longer.

His expression was gloomy, his lips trembled, and he said in a low voice: "I am... the prince of the Jiaozhi Kingdom, but outside... I belong to Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang... killed my father, and I escaped from the palace with the guards Bang asked for help, General Hu of Nanshun Pass was bought by Uncle Wang, not only refused to accept us, but also allowed his killers to enter the pass to hunt down us..."

Song Wei heard a groan from the bottom of her heart: It's too big...

But the frost on his face was even heavier: "Lie! They clearly don't want to kill you, they want to catch you alive."

Li Ting hurriedly said: "I took away the canonization edict given to my father by the emperor of Shangbang. Without this, he cannot ascend the throne."

Jiaozhi is a subsidiary state of the Xianxi Dynasty. Every time a new king ascends the throne, envoys must be sent to the capital of the upper state to apply for a new canonization edict with the canonization edict bestowed by Emperor Xianxi to the previous king.After completing this procedure, it is considered to be recognized and has a legal status.

Song Wei was silent, and she used her brain quickly, countless thoughts swirled in her mind.

The fighting outside the tent became more intense.Li Ting thought that he didn't believe him, or that he had strengthened his determination to surrender himself, so he gritted his teeth and took out a delicate skin bag the size of a thumb from his closet: "This is made of red fish fat, water and fire are invulnerable, Shangbang The emperor's canonized edict is hidden in it." Tears could not stop streaming down, "Benefactor, I have troubled you. I will go out and say that the benefactor doesn't know anything, and beg them to let the benefactor go. If you are lucky enough to escape I implore my benefactor to submit this imperial edict to the court of Shangbang, to avenge my father and son's grievances, I am endlessly grateful, and in the next life, I will definitely form a grass title ring to repay my great kindness." As he said, he kowtowed his head slowly.

Song Wei hurriedly dodged to avoid it.I thought to myself, I really look like a prince in this way.

The matter has come to this point, so I have to fight.Putting the sword back into the scabbard, looking at the hand in front of him that was determined not to withdraw, feeling 1 unwilling in his heart, he had no choice but to take the bag of fish fat and stuff it into his pocket.He warned: "Climb out and make more noise. Remember, insist that we don't know you, otherwise everyone will die here. Don't ask others to let us go, but it will make people suspicious. Leave the rest to us."

Li Ting seemed to be infected by his calmness, turned around, and crawled out as if death was at home.Climbed a step, turned back, and approached with difficulty: "When necessary, that thing can be swallowed in the stomach."

Song Wei was embarrassed immediately, and nodded with a sullen face.Seeing the blood on his neck, with an idea, he pulled out the sword and stuffed it into his hand: "Tell them, if you don't stop, you will commit suicide."

Li Ting was taken aback for a moment, then nodded solemnly.Song Wei wanted to comfort him by saying that those people would definitely not let you die, so she held back considering the fidelity of the performance.

When he was about to climb out of the tent, Song Wei quickly crawled to the back and crawled on the ground against the cliff.When Li Ting climbed out from the front and attracted the attention of the enemy, he babbled a few times, and under the cover of the cattle, he sneaked into the small tent where Xuanqing's master and apprentice were staying from behind.

"Stop!" Li Ting broke a leg, supported the ground with his sword, and knelt on the ground laboriously.

Seeing the prince appearing and hearing what he said, the leader of the assassin was about to withdraw immediately, and was about to tell his subordinates to back off.Unexpectedly, the other party didn't cooperate at all, and if there was a slight gap, they would be taken in by the opportunity. That kind of ruthlessness clearly means that it's either you die or I live.In desperation, he had no choice but to cheer up and continue fighting, but doubts gradually arose in his heart.

They tracked all the way, because the defenders gave up their lives to protect the Lord, so the pursuit was very difficult.After killing the prince step by step, there was only one general left, Ruan Ming, who actually chased him away.Finally found human footprints at the bottom of Lingqiu stream, tents and livestock, obviously the formation is not weak.The original idea was to first determine whether the prince was indeed among them.This time the operation was secretive and could not be made public. Although General Hu of Nanshun Pass promised not to interfere, if something unexpected happened and the court of Shangbang was alarmed, all previous efforts would be in vain.If the prince has nothing to do with these people, then quickly withdraw.If the prince is rescued by them, then first investigate the details and try to rob him.The worst thing is that they are soldiers sent by the Shangbang court to meet the prince.But if there is a response, it seems that it should not be just these few...

To sum up, under the leader's careful analysis, the purpose of these killers quietly swarming up was not to try their best.The fault was that Zhang Qi's ear strength was too strong, his aim was too good, he didn't understand the enemy's subtle and subtle thoughts, and tried to strike first, before the opponent approached, he would kill one with his darts.The enemy and the enemy are so clearly eager to put them to death, that the leader of the killer mistakenly thinks that they are really here to meet the prince, and falls into an extreme contradiction for a while.To kill, or not to kill, that is the question...

Li Ting looked at the fighting crowd, and found that the effect of his appearance was far lower than expected. Sadly, he raised the sword in his hand, laid it across his neck, and said hoarsely: "Stop!"

When the leader of the killer saw it, he was startled. He was almost cut off half of his shoulder by Zhang Qi, and broke out in a cold sweat: Why do these people ignore what the prince is saying?Just when he was about to subdue his opponent regardless of the consequences, he suddenly heard a cold and noble female voice from the small tent in the middle: "Stop."

Zhang Qi and the bodyguards retreated immediately, and the leader of the killer waved his hands and ordered his men to stop.Both sides suffered losses, two of the killers died and some were slightly injured, Zhang Qi was all injured, and two bodyguards were seriously injured.Due to the huge disparity in numbers, if you continue to fight, you will only be caught without a fight.

Song Wei got out of the small tent, glanced at it with a terrified expression, as if frightened by the bloody scene, opened the curtain with trembling hands, and said tremblingly: "The fairy, the fairy is welcome."

Xuan Qing came out of the tent, straightened up, holding the stag in her hand, with a solemn face, standing in front of everyone spotless.Chang Ning came out after him, and although his face turned pale with fright, he still stood up straight and maintained his noble demeanor.

The killer leader was dumbfounded.woman!Female priest!It turned out to be two female Taoist priests!Female Taoist priests are not common in Cochin, but it is not uncommon to know them.What a surprise.He guessed and guessed, but he didn't guess that the occupant of the tent would be a female Taoist priest.

Xuan Qing said angrily: "Where are the thieves running rampant here? Aren't you afraid of retribution from heaven if you seek wealth and kill your life?"

The killer leader's Xia language is not as good as the prince's. Xuan Qing's words are too elegant, he can hear the general meaning, but he can't fully understand it.The knife in his hand swung towards Li Ting: "Who are you? Why are you with him?"

Song Wei secretly thought it was terrible, and hurriedly stepped out to control the direction of the script.Pretending to be extremely frightened, he tugged at Xuanqing's sleeves: "Fairy, don't, don't talk, don't anger the kings." Then he fell to his knees and begged for mercy from the leader of the killer: "My lord, spare me! Xuanmen fairy, a master of Taoism, who hurts a fairy, will be struck by lightning! If the king is short of flowers, you can take all the money." Saying that, he crawled into the tent and dragged out a box with great difficulty. Open the lid, revealing a box full of copper coins: "Here are all of them, all of them are given to the king. If the king thinks it is too little, things, animals, whatever you like, it will be our gift to the king."

The leader of the killer was flashed by the box of money.The currency of the Xianxi Dynasty is so strong that it is very popular with neighboring countries.It's a pity that Xuanqing came out from Shuncheng, because she planned to go on a short trip to the mountains and rivers, and only brought enough pocket money, most of which were stored in the reliable Taoist temple of the Qing Dynasty.But even so, this box is quite impressive.

The killer touched his chin and thought for a while, then pointed at Li Ting and asked, "Is he with you?"

Song Wei hurriedly shook his head: "No, yesterday we found that he and his companion were injured and passed out by the stream. The fairy was kind and saved the two of them. However, the injuries were too serious, and they were still in a coma, and we haven't had time to ask questions "Suddenly, "Ah", he said in horror, "Your Majesty knows them... Is it, is it because they are unwilling to give money to His Majesty? Or do they have something valuable on them? That's why Your Majesty..." Speaking of this, he flinched. Glancing at the leader of the killer, he turned to look at Li Ting with incomparably resentful and annoyed eyes, anyone could read the meaning: I really shouldn't save these two scourges.

The killer leader continued to think: It seems that they are really ordinary people.But how can ordinary people have so much money and such powerful followers?

Song Wei was still trembling and pleading: "Your Majesty, we have nothing to do with them at all. We don't know how much money they have. All of our money has been dedicated to His Majesty. As for them, I have to ask Your Majesty to get them... ..."

The killer leader came to an end of his thinking and asked, "Why are you here?"

Song Wei raised her head, with fear in astonishment, pride in fear: "Didn't your lord have heard of the name of Master Xuan Qing? The master is the fairy with the highest cultivation in the Qing sect of my Taoism, and his reputation comes from the Central Plains." It spread far and wide in southern Xinjiang. This time, at the invitation of the master of the Guo family in Nanshun Town, he came here to do a ceremony to pray for blessings and exorcise evil spirits. How many people wanted to invite fairies to visit, but the fairies never went down the mountain easily. If it weren't for Master Guo's sincerity, he would have donated With thousands of incense sticks, how could the fairies work so hard to come to such a remote place? I heard that this Lingqiu is the most worth seeing scenic spot in the local area, so I turned around to have a look, how would I know..." Suddenly After a pause, he looked expectant and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, have you really never heard of Master Xuan Qing?"

The leader of the killer couldn't help but answer him: "I haven't heard of it." He thought to himself, so this female Taoist priest is very famous, no wonder she is rich and has someone to protect her.Staring at the money box in front of him, his mind became active: being mistaken for a robber might not be the best way to cover up, and he could make a fortune by the way. He turned around and slapped his ass and left. After leaving Nanshun Pass, there was nowhere to look for it. Even if they report to officials, they are not afraid...

Song Wei seemed to think that he thought the money was too little, and said nervously: "Your Majesty, we also know that these are really hard to come by. Why don't you tell us the number, let us send a letter to Mr. Guo, he will definitely bring enough coins to pay his respects. King's."

Um?What else?The killer leader stopped looking at the money, and stared at Song Wei's face.

"Your Majesty, don't doubt it. The safety of the fairy is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold. Master Guo will definitely agree. If there is anything wrong with the fairy, I, our servants, will not even think about living. If you are worried, you might as well Send a good man to go with me. Hurry up and return tomorrow night. The Guo family is doing big business in Nanshunguan, and it is easy to discuss how much the king wants. Just ask the king not to embarrass the fairy..."

Xuan Qing snorted coldly in a very timely manner, and turned around arrogantly, not bothering to look at these robbers.

Over there, Li Ting enjoyed the live performance of Song Wei's excellent singing and writing, and was in a daze with the sword in his hand.

On the other side, as if no one was around Zhang Qi, he tore off his clothes and bandaged his companion's wound to stop the bleeding. The killers hesitated and began to wrap each other's wounds.

The assassin leader thought of the large sum of money he had given to General Hu of Nanshun Guan on behalf of his master, in exchange for him turning a blind eye and refusing to intervene directly no matter what.

So he smiled ferociously and said to Song Wei, "How much do you think your fairy is worth?"
