On the other hand, Xu Meng, who looked bored at the side, his eyes lit up when he saw the fireworks exploding in the air, and with a bit of excitement on his face, he said to Xu Wei: "Brother Wei, this is Jing Kui's signal for help. Let's
Do you want to rush to help?"
Just looking at Xu Meng's excited look, I knew that he definitely wanted to rush to help.
Of course, this does not mean that Xu Meng has a good relationship with Jing Kui. In fact, Xu Meng has no relationship with Jing Kui. The reason why Xu Meng is so excited is simply because he is a militant.
Xu Meng was always happy when it came to anything involving killing. If Xu Wei hadn't been watching an action like this, Xu Meng might have been impatient and would have gone to join the battle himself.
.
Now that he saw the distress signal, Xu Meng couldn't bear it anymore.
Although he was very dissatisfied with the incompetence of Jing Kui and others, Jing Kui also knew that this was not the time to argue with Jing Kui.
In any case, the most urgent thing at the moment is to kill Li Huan and his party, and then destroy the bodies and eliminate all traces. Nothing is as important as this matter.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, Xu Wei nodded slightly towards Xu Meng and said: "Xu Meng, take people there immediately. Be sure to help Jing Kui and others keep the imperial envoy and his entourage behind. Don't let them go.
one person."
Xu Meng patted his chest and said: "Brother Wei, don't worry, I will definitely have people keep a close eye on me, and I will definitely not let anyone go, at least not like Wang Hai and the others who let go of a thousand members of the Imperial Guard."
Xu Wei raised his eyebrows, knowing that Xu Meng was talking about Lin Pingzhi, who was chased by Wang Hai and others but ended up letting him escape without a trace.
These days, they have mobilized all their efforts in the Yangzhou Prefecture to search for Lin Pingzhi's whereabouts, but no matter how hard they search, they can't find any trace of Lin Pingzhi.
Under this situation, Xu Wei could only hope that Lin Pingzhi was severely injured and might have died in a deserted corner.
But even so, everyone in Yangzhou Prefecture is still somewhat worried. After all, if Lin Pingzhi is still alive, to them, it is no less than a time bomb, which may cause them to fall into the abyss at any time.
After glancing at Xu Meng, Xu Wei said solemnly: "Hurry up and take the people there."
Xu Meng responded, turned around with an excited face and shouted to the people behind him in a deep voice: "Everyone, follow me to kill people."
Immediately, a dense crowd of people followed Xu Meng toward the flaming Grand Canal. There were at least several hundred people, but there was no confusion. It was obvious that this group of people was not a rabble.
above the canal
Li Huan looked at the exploding fireworks in the sky with a calm expression, and could not help but show a bit of disdain at the corner of his mouth.
On the other hand, Chen Ke looked up at the fireworks in the sky and couldn't help but said to Li Huan: "Sir, how many people have the other party prepared? Why do they feel like they are coming in waves..."
Ma Ming, who had just knocked away a plow worker who rushed forward, couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Mr. Chen, don't you think these people are stupid? They seem to have a brain problem, and they come to die in waves.
If they really swarmed us, dug ships, attacked with fire, etc., they might even cause us some trouble, but now it looks like they are here to die."
Hearing what Ma Ming said, Chen Ke couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing. Even he had to admit that Ma Ming's words were really rough.
Li Huan cast his gaze towards the dark river bank in the distance, raised his eyebrows and said, "Brothers, please be careful. If nothing else happens, this should be the second group."
Chen Ke immediately said: "Don't worry, sir. We have long expected that something like this will happen. Brothers are all prepared. I dare not say that we will annihilate all the invading enemies tonight, but there is still nothing to protect ourselves."
questionable."
Li Huan chuckled lightly, a cold look flashed in his eyes and said: "Now that we are here, no one can leave. Attacking the imperial envoys is really like child's play. They can come whenever they want.
Just leave?"
While he was talking, he suddenly saw a cold light rushing out of the water, followed by a figure breaking through the water, and it turned out to be extremely...
He rushed towards Li Huan at a fast speed.
This man's speed really exceeded everyone's expectations. No one expected that there would be such a strong man lurking nearby, looking for such an opportunity to carry out that thunderous strike.
"My lord, be careful."
Chen Ke and Ma Ming were not far from Li Huan, but they only had time to remind him, but they had no time to block the figure for Li Huan.
On the contrary, Li Huan's expression remained unchanged, he just glanced at the figure indifferently, then raised his hand to chop out the Xiuchun knife in his hand.
Only an angry shout was heard: "Gou Guan, go to hell."
On the small boat not far away, Jing Kui, who had just sent out a signal for help, also saw this sudden change, and couldn't help showing a look of hope and joy on his face.
Even Jing Kui didn't see clearly who the person who suddenly jumped out was, and he had such courage and strength. If this blow could really hit, Li Huan, who was an imperial envoy, would have died on the spot.
On the other hand, Ma Qi's eyes lit up as she seemed to recognize the man's identity. When the man shouted angrily, Ma Qi said excitedly, "It's Xiang Wentian."
Jing Kui couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then he reacted and muttered, "I thought he was slapped to death by Li Huan. He has never been seen. I didn't expect that he has been hiding in the water for so long. His feelings are always there."
Waiting for the opportunity..."
Before Jing Kui could finish his words, Li Huan's sword hit Wentian's life-threatening sword.
There was a sound of gold and iron clashing. Li Huan's figure did not move. Instead, Xiang Wentian, who had attacked Li Huan with the impact of falling from the sky, paused and flew backwards.
With a bang and water splashing, Xiang Wentian missed a single blow and used the power of Li Huan's sword to escape into the water again and hide his figure, just like an assassin.
Seeing that Xiang Wentian missed a hit, Jing Kui, Ma Qi and others showed disappointment on their faces. However, seeing that Xiang Wentian was not injured but escaped into the water, the two of them were somewhat sympathetic to Xiang Wentian.
expect.
A strong man like Xiang Wentian was secretly watching Li Huan and could strike out with a fatal blow at any time. He was able to absorb part of Li Huan's energy. Jing Kui, Ma Qi and the others were naturally happy to see this happen.
Suddenly, a ghost-like figure appeared next to Li Huan, holding a long sword with cold light in his hand. There was a feminine and ruthless look between his eyebrows. Who could he be if he wasn't Cao Yu?
The scene where Xiang Wentian attacked Li Huan just now was naturally seen in Cao Yu's eyes. However, Cao Yu was covering up and killing the canal workers just now. Although with his speed, he still had time to block Xiang Wentian for Li Huan.
However, Cao Yu knew very well how strong Li Huan was, so he was not worried about Li Huan losing to Xiang Wentian.
Cao Yu's bright and soft eyes were staring at the water below. Suddenly, he slumped up, floating like a ghost, and stabbed one of the bodies floating on the water with the long sword in his hand.
The next moment, he saw the corpse being thrown away by his sword, and then he saw a sword light rushing out with the corpse, who was it if it wasn't Xiang Wentian.
Xiang Wentian seemed not to have expected that he would be discovered so quickly, and from Cao Yu's body, Xiang Wentian could vaguely feel a familiar aura.
The ghostly speed and the feminine aura that could not be concealed made Xiang Wentian subconsciously exclaim: "You... what is your relationship with Dongfang Bubai?"
It was so similar that when Xiang Wentian saw Cao Yu, the first thing he thought of was Dongfang Invincible.
Even Xiang Wentian doubted whether the person in front of him was Dongfang Bubai's secret disciple. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the two people's auras were so similar.
The swordsmanship in Cao Yu's hand was extremely strange. Along with his erratic and ghostly movement, everyone could only see a shadow surrounding Xiang Wentian and attacking him non-stop.
If Xiang Wentian hadn't resisted with his strong strength, Xiang Wentian might have died on the spot. Even so, it can be seen that it was very difficult for Xiang Wentian to resist.
Ying Yu just stared at Xiang Wentian with cold eyes, and said with a bit of disdain: "Why don't Dongfang Bubai, we
I’ve never heard of it, I’m just a little servant beside the Marquis.”
As he spoke, the long sword in Cao Yu's hand turned into a rain of swords that enveloped Xiang Wentian, forcibly confining Xiang Wentian's figure in a narrow space.
Xiang Wentian obviously did not expect that Cao Yu would give such a reply. He originally thought that Cao Yu might be a master carefully trained by Dongfang Bubai. After all, Xiang Wentian is one of the strongest men in the world. Looking at the world of martial arts,
There are not many strong people who can push him to this level.
The person in front of him was actually able to compete with him. Although it was because of his ghostly speed, Xiang Wentian had to admit that Cao Yu's strength was no worse than his.
It is absolutely impossible for such a being to be an unknown person. Even if he had no reputation in the past, if the other party can compete with him in today's battle, then if word spreads, it will definitely cause a sensation in the world and become known to the world.
At least he should know the identity of his opponent, right?
As a result, what Cao Yu said made Xiang Wentian confused. What did it mean? Although it was ruled out that the other party was a strong man trained by Dongfang Bubai, Cao Yu bluntly said that he was just a slave. How could this not be the case?
It drove Xiang Wentian crazy.
Even if a strong man like Cao Yu is placed in the first-class sect in the world, he is at least an elder-level existence, and his status can be described as respected.
But Cao Yu was just a slave, and Xiang Wentian had never thought of such an identity.
Xiang Wentian's subconscious reaction was that the other party was playing tricks on him. Even a slave could compete with him, so what did he mean to Xiang Wentian?
But Xiang Wentian also noticed the expressions of Chen Ke, Ma Ming and others.
When they heard Cao Yu's words, Chen Ke, Ma Ming and others looked completely calm, and did not have any abnormal reaction because of Cao Yu's words. This means that Cao Yu's words seemed to be nothing.
lie.
"You...you have such cultivation, you are willing to be a slave, you..."
While dealing with Cao Yu's violent attack, Xiang Wentian said to Cao Yu with a look of astonishment on his face.
He really didn't know what to say. It was not impossible for such a strong man to dominate the world, become famous, and dominate the world. Why would he be willing to be a slave?
Anyway, Xiang Wentian really couldn't figure out why Cao Yu was like this. If it were him, let alone a mere prince, even the King of Heaven would not think of him bowing his head, let alone being a slave for others.
Cao Yu said sharply: "If you dare to assassinate the Marquis, our family will cut you into pieces today."
As he spoke, Cao Yu's figure became more and more erratic, and his sword skills became more and more fierce.
The sword technique to ward off evil really reached an extreme level in Cao Yu's hands, as if it was a technique tailor-made for Cao Yu. It only made Xiang Wentian retreat repeatedly. A single oversight resulted in a few sword marks on his body.
The chill to the bones and the severe pain radiating from his body made Xiang Wentian horrified, and he deeply felt the crisis of death.
In just a short period of time, he actually felt the danger of death several times. Once, he had just fought with Li Huan. Because he didn't know Li Huan's details, he was almost slapped to death by Li Huan, so that he recovered underwater.
It took a while before he could calm down and take a breath.
Now he felt the crisis of death in Cao Yu again, which made Xiang Wentian feel that the world had changed drastically. At some point, a few random people would appear as strong men.
Cao Yu's outburst only lasted a moment, and even fighting with Xiang Wentian only lasted a dozen breaths.
Jing Kui, Ma Qi and the others couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Originally, they thought that Xiang Wentian could at least contain most of Li Huan's attention, but what they didn't expect was that someone randomly jumped out from beside Li Huan.
People actually fought equally with Xiang Wentian.
"Damn it, it's okay for Li Huan to be a powerful man. Why is there such a powerful person beside him? Who can tell me, are there any other people like this?"
Jing Kui yelled angrily, if he had known that Li Huan was so powerful,
He will definitely spend more time, prepare more means, and invite more strong people.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Jing Kui looked at the scene of heavy casualties among his men, it was a heartache.
You must know that these people are his capital to control tens of thousands of cannons, and they are also the guarantee that he can dominate an area. As a result, so many people died in less than a cup of tea.
I thought that there were thousands of people on the Grand Canal who could do whatever they wanted, and it was no problem to kill the imperial envoy and his party. Who would have thought that the development of things was beyond his imagination.
Not only were the Jin Yiwei obviously on guard, but even the biggest target, Li Huan, who was an imperial envoy, was so incredibly strong that he couldn't see a glimmer of hope.
Thinking of the signal for help he had just sent, Jing Kui took a deep breath and felt a little more relieved.
He also learned not long ago that the Yangzhou magistrate had sent people from the Xu family to help him, or to be precise, to give him cover, just in case.
Originally, Jing Kui was very unhappy about this. After all, the Yangzhou magistrate's behavior clearly cast doubt on his ability. However, Jing Kui didn't like it, so he didn't say anything. After all, he couldn't
Wouldn't it change the mind of the Yangzhou prefect?
However, Jing Kui had made up his mind and would never give the Xu family a chance to show off. He wanted the Yangzhou prefect to see Jing Kui's strength.
Thinking about it now, Jing Kui just realized that the people from the Xu family sent by the Yangzhou prefect were like a timely rain to him.
Jing Kui is still somewhat confident about the strength of the Xu family. He alone cannot defeat Li Huan and his party. If the strength of the Xu family is added to it, he really doesn't believe that the combined strength of the two families can do nothing to defeat Li Huan this time.
Huan and his party.
But at this moment, Jing Kui said to Ma Qi anxiously: "Ma Qi, send someone to see what's going on with the Xu family. The signal has been sent out for a while, why haven't they seen their people coming yet? Could it be that they
Do you want to sit back and watch all of our people being killed by the Jin Yiwei?"
When talking about this, Jing Kui couldn't help but think a little too much, and his face became a little ugly.
The Chen family, the Xu family, including Jing Kui, are usually the most powerful forces in Jiangnan. However, this time the Chen family is in ruins. If the Xu family sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight, it is not impossible to weaken his strength with the help of Jin Yiwei this time.
Ma Qi, who had no idea that Jing Kui had already thought too much, said subconsciously: "It's really strange. The people from the Xu family are nearby. Even if they are slow to react, they should have arrived in such a short time."
As he spoke, Ma Qi didn't notice Jing Kui's ugly face, and said with some confusion: "There must have been an accident on the road!"
