Chapter 48: Closing and Transaction(1/3)
After a few moves, the two of them kept a distance of two to three feet, one behind the other.
Shen Qiye definitely didn't want to be restrained like this, but no matter how he moved and accelerated, he was always restricted by his flying knife, blocking every position he moved forward, leaving him with no strength left. There is nowhere to go. Being led by the nose like this, Shen Qiye will not be defeated for a while, but he will not be able to defeat his opponent. Shen Qiye knows that if he continues to delay, once he is exhausted and unable to avoid a flaw, the pursuer will be unable to do so. The momentum will reverse in an instant.
Thinking like this, Shen Qiye tried his best to spread his luck around his body. He saw that his whole body was wrapped in a layer of light white mist. When he raised his hand, the wonderful white mist overflowed into the air, and the embroidered spring knife in his hand The "white mist" on it is even more intense, and the entire blade seems to be wrapped in violently burning white flames.
"Haha!" He yelled loudly, and swung the long knife downwards in his hand, bringing up dozens of roof tiles. In an instant, black rain splashed all over the sky, overwhelming the people in front of him.
The masked man was also surprised to see such a familiar move. Although these roof tile fragments were not as deadly as his "Stars Full of Stars", they were fighting for life and death and could not tolerate any unnecessary interference. Especially when he used it like this. A person with a hidden weapon is most afraid of having his vision obscured. He gripped the flying knife tightly and retreated hastily, unwilling to fall into the coverage of the black rain. But the moment it landed on the eaves of the next room, his pupils suddenly expanded, and his eyes flashed. Shine a bright light.
The embroidered spring knife in his hand was thrown directly by Shen Qiye, hidden behind the black rain, and flew straight towards the masked man.
In a battle between warriors, the weapon in the hand is half of one's wealth and life. Flying a knife like this just to force the opponent is already a life-saving move. However, Shen Qiye's hidden knife in the chaos is also tried and tested. The flying knife forced the masked man to retreat and dodge, preventing him from throwing a flying knife. This time, the short distance between the two could no longer restrain Shen Qiye. Throwing the knife, he followed closely Afterwards, the masked man's inner energy flowed out crazily all over his body, and the "white mist" that enveloped his whole body became thicker and thicker. He flew forward and stepped heavily on the main ridge of the house. The powerful and heavy foot actually broke it completely. , the roof tiles flew off in an instant, and the roof began to collapse.
The masked man was so horrified that he felt weightless before his feet were firmly planted. He jumped directly to the alley next to him without thinking.
The two men fought and destroyed all the way, and the sudden visitor on the roof frightened the owners of the house, causing countless people to run out of the house in a hurry, and the screaming reached its peak at this time.
The battlefield of the two instigators moved from the rooftops of several houses to alleys extending in all directions, and the number of witnesses also increased.
Such a big movement would only attract more enemies. The masked man knew that it was not advisable to stay for a long time and kept retreating. However, Shen Qiye's violent attacks forced him to the ground, causing the two of them to engage in close combat. He held it with his backhand. The flying knife was originally used for throwing, and he struggled with Shen Qiye. But after just a few moves, he was so angry that he cursed his mother. This little Jin Yiwei was simply outrageous! Originally, his flying knife had the upper hand in this close combat. But Shen Qiye's pair of iron claws were both swords and shields. He slashed and stabbed, but only scraped out a string of sparks on the iron claws. What was even more terrible was that he stabbed diagonally and was directly caught by his hand. The blade was broken by this move, forcing him to resist two heavy punches, which made his arm numb and painful.
There are thousands of weapons in the vast world, but no matter how weird the weapon is, it is essentially an extension of the body. No matter how wonderful the weapon is, how can it be compared to your own hands? However, in actual combat, it is impossible for a flesh and blood body to withstand the cold. Steel. However, the black iron arm guard just solves this contradiction. It not only gives the arm the capital to collide with swords, guns, swords and halberds, but also remains flexible and versatile, and can be perfectly combined with boxing and kicking skills. Acceptable or acceptable Block, you can also hurt people with iron claws, and hit hard with fists, especially weapons such as swords. Once locked by its grasp, the power of swordsmanship and swordsmanship will be reduced by seven points. As long as it is used properly, it can be used in close combat. He was invincible. In addition, Shen Qiye practiced extremely arrogant foreign martial arts. With this blessing, the masked man lost his fighting spirit after only receiving two punches. He only thought about how to get out of the trap of close combat. .
At this moment, she finally understood why Shen Qiye threw his Xiuchun Dao so decisively, because this knife was not his real weapon. Throwing the saber was just to drag herself into a melee trap. This pair of iron The arm is his real ultimate weapon.
Even if I use my inner strength to protect my body, I will never be able to withstand a few more punches from him.
Fists and feet intertwined, steel collided, and the masked man also had luck in his Dantian. He protected his arm with his inner strength and used his left arm to resist Shen Qiye's plan to hit his elbow. However, he still received a punch on his back. He endured the severe pain and kicked It bounced off Shen Qiye's body. While his body was still in mid-air, he took out a plum blossom dart with his right arm.
When she saw him making a move, Shen Qiye immediately stopped his body and clasped his arms together to block the kick. Seeing the cold light flashing in his hands, he instinctively dodged under the eaves next to him.
The alley was not wide and there was no room for detours. A pair of plum blossom darts almost blocked the entire straight passage. Shen Qiye did not dare to be careless. While retreating to avoid it, the iron claws in his hands also directly caught the two direct attacks. Face-to-face darts.
Although he was extremely embarrassed after such a fierce fight, the masked man was finally able to roll away, but when he got up, he was met by a huge hand-pushed wheelbarrow!
"I'm going to kill you!!!!" I cursed in my heart. Before the masked man could fully straighten up, he was forced to bend down to the ground again. He supported the ground with one hand and watched helplessly as the wooden wheel pressed against the ground. The door flew past and smashed into pieces on the bluestone street.
My heart was horrified, and my back was dripping with cold sweat, but it was more than that. Tables, chairs, benches, buckets and vats were thrown at me one after another as if they were free of charge. The roles of the two were instantly reversed, as if Shen Qiye was the one who was good at long-distance. He chased and picked up the attacker, throwing whatever he saw around him. The masked man forced in the narrow alley dodged left and right and kept retreating, but there was no chance to draw his sword.
The way Shen Qiye came up with to deal with him was to suppress him and prevent him from having a chance to make a move. This move was not unkind. The masked man was hit like a rat crossing the street and jumped up in the alley. Jumping away, in a panic. The two chased each other and ran into a wider street. The shops on both sides of the street had already been closed due to the city's lockdown. Only the sheds, covers and a few tall wine flags extending to the street were still there. Blowing in the wind.
Chasing all the way, the masked man knew that the consequences of resisting these strange objects would be to face Shen Qiye's even more terrifying iron fist. He took two steps back, rolled forward, but suddenly turned around and stopped in the middle of the street.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. When he saw him stop, Shen Qiye also stopped. The distance between the two was still a few feet. Seeing him turn around and smile, about to jump, Shen Qiye suddenly realized that something was wrong. Although he was overwhelming in close combat, He had the advantage, but after all, he had just opened a little distance, and while retreating all the way, he kept running and never fought back. Could it be that he deliberately led him here?!
"Sure! I've fallen into a trap!" The sense of crisis erupted instantly, and Shen Qiye retreated hastily, but it was still a step too late.
The black cloak on his body was flying, and for a while the small street was dotted with fluorescent lights and countless cold lights. He flew into the air and shook out pieces of sharp blades. This was his special skill, "Stars are everywhere!"
He looked down from a high position and smiled at Shen Qiye who was chasing him, but after that smile, he dropped the blade of destruction!
The angle of the shot was unavoidable, and the sky was filled with sharp blades, which cut off all possibility of receiving the attack.
Seeing him retreating crazily, the moment the masked man landed, he stretched out his right hand, and at some point, five black rings were wrapped around the joints of his five fingers.
If the distance is close enough, one can see that the ring is connected with golden threads as thin as hair, which are extremely dazzling under the sun. Unexpectedly, the extremely sharp threads have been wrapped around the wooden sheds on both sides of the street. Above the wine flag.
The world has been grasped between the five fingers, and with the wave of the hand, it has turned into a fist, and all the magnificent things here have collapsed!
The flagpole as thick as a bowl was directly cut off at the waist. The wooden sheds, covers and many tall wooden objects overhead were overwhelming and smashed towards Shen Qiye from both sides. Countless sharp blades shining with cold light also fell like raindrops...
After a loud noise, a cloud of dust rose up from the street, covering everything.
The masked man took off the rings on his five fingers and was about to make a move when he suddenly covered his chest and coughed twice. He quickly took a deep breath to steady his breathing, and then briefly glanced at the dusty sky before choosing to fly away. .
After the dust settled, everything seemed to be over, and silence returned to the small streets. Residents who had been frightened for a long time opened their doors and poked their heads out. Several people walked up to the small streets and looked at the mess on the ground. Pointing and pointing, someone yelled in panic. Everyone looked at it as if they had seen a ghost, and hurriedly locked the newly opened door tightly.
Amidst the dust among the ruins, a figure slowly walked out.
His body was covered with dust, his black Feiyu suit was slightly yellowed, his lower body was punctured with several holes, and the gauze hat above his head was also missing.
It was so loud just now that it blocked the sky and the sun for a while, which shocked Shen Qiye, but fortunately after a thrilling dodge, it was not serious. Shen Qiye kicked away a log blocking the road, with a look on his face. Neither cloudy nor sunny, angry or fearful, he took a deep breath and said to himself, "...Calm down! Brother is right! Calmness is the greatest wisdom!"
From the beginning, he had been carried away by the provocation of the masked man, which led to his extremely impulsive behavior. He was so impulsive that he forgot that the most important goal of this battle was to recapture Wei Buyi rather than kill a person. The leader of the thieves, whose strength was not comparable to his own, was so greedy for success that he mistakenly thought that he could easily kill all the thieves. Now that he thought about it carefully, it was very possible that his provocative behavior at the beginning of the battle and his suppression during the battle were very likely. It was all planned and considered by the opponent in advance. He deliberately showed weakness in order to lure himself into the trap and pursue him all the way, so that he could follow him into the trap that had been set long ago.
He could have avoided this meaningless battle. After all, he was faster than him. If he directly bypassed him and pursued others, he would not be able to stop him.
But the problem is that Shen Qiye took it for granted and tried to capture all the thieves and the leader of the thieves with one person. However, no one could save him. The leader ran away, fought hard, and ate a lot of dust. , but he was empty-handed and caught nothing. Fortunately, this time the battlefield was in the city, and he had one last chance. As long as he didn't let them leave the inner city, he would win.
"Next time you make a move, don't hold back! If you get the chance, just break his neck. Mad, it doesn't matter whether he's alive or dead. Only when you pinch his neck and hold it in your hand can you say you've caught someone!"
The indignant Shen Qiye shook off the dust from his body and flew after him again.
………………
And the Jinlin Imperial City has already exploded. The majestic Dawu Imperial City actually harbored a group of thieves without knowing it, and the most terrible thing is that they were let go under the noses of the Jinwu Guards. What if What's the use of this palace guard? This is a slap in the face of the Dawu court. Everyone from the Jinwu Guards to the commander to the corps commander was completely despairing. Before any news came from the chasing troops sent out, they vented their anger. On the two thieves who were still escaping in the palace.
"Stop! If you come here again, I will cut her neck!!!" The other one of the two who had just tried his best to divert the pursuers for his young master had already been captured by the Jinwu Guards, and his legs were broken and his hands were temporarily detained. The remaining Ali was also forced into a dead end. He grabbed a passing little palace maid as a hostage and hid in the corner to support himself.
A group of Jinwu guards surrounded the narrow alley. On the top of the wall and behind the shield, countless crossbowmen had already aimed at his forehead. But the cunning Ali pulled the crying little palace maid in front of him, and did not He constantly adjusted his posture so that the little palace maid could completely cover herself. For a time, no one of the Jinwu Guard's crossbowmen was absolutely sure that they would not harm the innocent person's life. The two sides were in a stalemate in this narrow alley. No one dares to act rashly.
However, the Jinwu Guards are always the royal guards, and their patience is limited. As long as the vanguard allows the attack, in their eyes, the life of this poor little palace maid is definitely not as important as catching the thief.
Just as the two sides were engaged in a tense confrontation, a fine steel arrow flew silently, grazing the hair of the little palace maid's ear, seizing a small gap in Ali's constant adjustment of position, and killing her with one blow. It hit him right between the eyebrows.
Hearing a sudden noise behind her, the little palace maid turned around, only to see the man who had just held her hostage half-leaning against the wall, his eyes wide open, scarlet blood flowing down his eyebrows and staining his entire face.
She screamed, raising the nervousness of the Jinwu Guards around her to the peak. But when everyone looked at her carefully, they all let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the thief was killed, the centurion in the Jinwu Guard team turned his head and looked around, exclaiming loudly, "Okay!!! What a great shot! This is really a sharpshooter!" Which brother shot this, please tell me your name. Come, I will give you a big reward later!"
The Jinwu Guards in the team were also quite surprised by the magical arrow. When the centurion asked, they still whispered to each other, looked around, and finally all their eyes looked at the flying fish on the palace wall. The little flag officer who obeyed.
Earlier, outside the Imperial City, the night cavalry leader and Xiao Yu'er who stayed behind received the signal and hurriedly set off for the Imperial City. But as they said before, when they arrived at the gate of the Imperial City, Xiao Yu'er faced the sealed door. Jin Wuwei tried to talk to him, but he wouldn't let him in.
Finally, the horn sounded from the east, and Shen Xiaoyu brought up Wei Wuxian's name again. The Jinwu Guards guarding the city thought that it was already like this anyway, and if there was chaos, it would be chaos. As long as they could help after entering the imperial city, then Everything is easy to say.
After wasting a lot of words, Xiao Yuer led several night riders into the imperial city.
On the other side, the leading Jinwu Guards also surrounded the origin of everything, the Imperial Kitchen Room, just a few moments after the riot.
After breaking in, they did not find the daring thief. The place had long been deserted. What was left to them was a mess on the ground, three corpses, and two women who did not know where they came from.
It turns out that after Li Qingzhao was rescued by Shen Qiye just now, he was worried that the warning whistle would alert the thieves. In desperation, Shen Qiye hugged Li Qingzhao and climbed up to the eaves with a quick kung fu, and quickly took her to the former prison where the second prisoner was detained. However, knowing that there were many people living in the house, Shen Qiye did not dare to act recklessly, so he placed Li Qingzhao on the roof of the nearby house, and then without any explanation, he put a small black cylinder in her hand. , and told her that if she heard a noise later, she would immediately fire the "Cloud-Piercing Arrow" she had given her and call for reinforcements. Then, without another word, she climbed directly onto the roof where the hostages were being held, and just Wait for the opportunity to break into the house.
Naturally, everything went as he planned. The only deviation was that his Master Yi An didn't know how to use this little thing called "Cloud Piercer Arrow". After studying for a while, he finally pulled it off. , almost got Shen Qiye into trouble when he burst into the house. Fortunately, it was better to come late than not at all. The late sound had its effect after all, summoning the Jinwu Guards and the Imperial City. The royal guards outside.
This is also due to Shen Qiye's inertial thinking. After all, he wanted to set off a firecracker. What's the problem? Which kid didn't play during the New Year and holidays when he was young? But Li Qingzhao, who comes from a scholarly family, never played. This is really worrying. She! Although she had seen people setting off fireworks, she had never tried it herself. Now that she was holding the thing in her hand, she still felt a little timid... After some research, she had the courage to set it off...
The sound of the fierce fighting finally stopped, and Lady Yi An finally stuck her head out, but the thief was gone. How should she get down from the eaves so high off the ground? This was a problem?
She doesn't have the wonderful skills of flying up and down like Brother Shen.
Being forgotten on the roof made Li Qingzhao furious, "When I see Brother Shen later, I must question him, how could I, how could I, throw a weak woman on the roof and ignore it?! Isn't this right?" Is this what a gentleman does?! Humph, by the way, he, he hugs people casually, but he doesn’t know whether men and women are allowed to have sex or not? This is not what a gentleman does! It’s useless to read the poems and books of sages! This person is really abominable! He should be punished Take him and slap him!" The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Thinking back to being hugged by him just now, her face turned even redder.
But what made her even more angry was that just as she was thinking about how to scold that bastard Brother Shen when she saw him later, she saw a person rushing out of the room out of the corner of her eye. He was dressed in black and had an iron arm. She was filled with hatred for Brother Shen, and she felt happy in her heart. But before she could shout out, she saw Brother Shen leaping far away in one step, leaving only his back behind.
"Brother Shen Da..."
Before the word "brother" was spoken, the two of them were already two yards apart. The smile on Qingzhao's face gradually solidified, and she finally cursed in anger.
"asshole!!!"
Even though she tried her best, the clear voice still dissipated in the wind.
A distant breeze caressed my face. The dress I was wearing was not an autumn dress, and the slightest chill made my whole body tremble.
Li Qingzhao angrily smashed the "Cloud-Piercing Arrow" aside. He was also angry, but he still went down. Li Qingzhao thought for a while and looked at the house that had been smashed by Shen Qiye. .
However, to get there, he had to walk past the two golden houses with two wings. Although the location he was at was not the highest point in the imperial city, he could still see the red walls and golden tiles in the distance, and the pavilions and halls stretched to the sky. .
Li Qingzhao had also longed to wonder what the political center of the empire looked like, but she never imagined that her first visit to the splendid palace would be in this way.
Shen Qiye had just been carrying her across the golden roof, rising and falling, passing many buildings along the way. She only felt it was exciting and fun, like a skylark flying above the palace. But when she had to face this by herself At a high altitude, all that's left is fear.
But she is Li Qingzhao after all, the unique Li Qingzhao in this world.
After calming down a little, she lifted up her skirt and slowly straightened her body. She originally wanted to run directly on the straight roof ridge like Shen Qiye, but when she stood on it, a gust of breeze came and she saw again On the ground far away from her, she felt that if the wind was stronger, it would blow her away. The terrifying scene of herself falling flashed through her mind several times. How could she dare to take a step? She leaned down hastily. He held onto the ridge of the roof with his body and hands.
After calming down again and taking a deep breath, Li Qingzhao finally took the first tentative step.
The golden tiles on the roof of the imperial city were all smooth and gorgeous, but fortunately, the rain canals between the round tiles provided her with a place to stay. Her three-inch shoes were filled with fear and uneasiness, and she took another small step. Three steps passed. Nothing happened, but the anxious Li Qingzhao slowly built up a little confidence.
The unique Mr. Yi An will not be intimidated by such a small scene.
Although the speed is extremely slow, it is still moving slowly.
Faced with the crisis of fear of heights, Li Qingzhao moved little by little and began to think wildly again.
"Is this tile strong? Is it possible that it was crushed by myself like this? Broken?! I just saw Brother Shen dive in all at once." He shook his head to dispel the strange thoughts. Silently thinking in her mind, she prayed that the tile-casting craftsman did not cut corners.
But I’m just afraid of what will happen?!
Taking another step, she still lightly stepped on the golden tiles in the rain canal. Everything was still the same, but just as she raised her right foot, "Click!" A clear and subtle sound interrupted. Li Qingzhao’s actions......
"No way?! Maybe I heard it wrong..."
With this lucky thought in my mind, I put my foot hard and prepared to change steps again.
"Crack!" There was another crisp sound of cracking porcelain. What was different from the previous one was that this one was so loud that Li Qingzhao could hear it clearly.
This frightened her so much that she didn't dare to move for a long time. After a stalemate for a while, she prepared to move again, but as soon as she exerted force on her foot, the golden tile finally broke directly, and one jade foot stepped on the ground. As she fell, she screamed and was so frightened that she quickly clung to the roof.
This kind of climbing up the house and wall is really not suitable for a weak woman like her.
To be continued...
