A knife in love

Chapter 412

Murong Danyan was about to jump up, but Zhu Sanjia, who was standing beside her, had already guarded against her move, and put his hand on her left shoulder.Murong Danyan was startled, and immediately withdrew his momentum, his breath was disturbed, he couldn't jump out.

Zhu San's family whispered in Murong Danyan's ear: "Miss Murong, Mr. Li is very skilled in martial arts, and he is very wise. If he can't handle it, and the girl rushes forward rashly, it will only distract him, and the situation will be even more unfavorable. The girl has to think twice."

Murong Danyan knew what Zhu Sanjia said was right.In terms of martial arts, Taoist Qingfeng, the head of the Taihua School, is many times better than him.But with his martial arts, Li Qiufeng even declined the request of his colleagues, and he couldn't help him even more.She was ashamed and anxious, and couldn't help stamping her foot on the ground, tears finally welled up in her eyes.

Li Qiufeng stopped for a moment on the Jinshui Bridge, facing countless soldiers, holding the Xiuchun knife tightly in his right hand, and exhaled a foul breath from his chest.In an instant, his mind was made up, and he strode forward and walked over.

After he walked down the Jinshui Bridge, he had already stood opposite a row of soldiers, the distance was not more than Zhang Xu.Li Qiufeng looked at it intently, and his heart couldn't help but shudder.Previously, they were far away from these soldiers and could not see their faces clearly.At this time, when the distance was close, it was discovered that these soldiers were wearing helmets and armor, which were indeed the armor of the soldiers of the dynasty, but they all wore masks on their faces, with hideous faces, which looked extremely terrifying.

Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling in the Northern Qi Dynasty, has great martial arts skills and is invincible in the world. It's just that he has a handsome face. When he led the troops to fight, because he was worried that his appearance would be despised by the soldiers, Gao Changgong asked people to create a hideous and terrifying mask to wear. On the face, the true face is hidden. Afterwards, the Northern Zhou Dynasty aggressively attacked the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the soldiers pointed directly at Luoyang. The Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty ordered Gao Changgong, Duan Shao, the governor of Bingzhou, and Hu Luguang, the general, to go to Luoyang for rescue. Although the reinforcements of the Northern Qi Dynasty arrived outside the city of Luoyang, they Fearing that the generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty would be brave and good at fighting, neither Duan Shao nor Hu Luguang dared to lead their troops forward. Gao Changgong was furious. After putting on a mask, he led five hundred cavalry into the Northern Zhou army and fought fiercely. Several Northern Zhou generals stepped forward to fight , but seeing the mask on Gao Changgong's face, his aura was first reduced by three points, and he died under Gao Changgong's gun one after another. The tens of thousands of troops in the Northern Zhou Dynasty could not stop the impact of Gao Changgong's five hundred cavalry, and he was killed by him to the city of Jinyong. Because Gao Changgong was wearing a mask, the defenders on Jinyong City did not know whether he was an enemy or a friend. It was not until Gao Changgong took off the mask under the city that the defenders cheered like thunder, shouting long live, and the whole army respected. After Gao Changgong entered the city, the soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty However, the Northern Zhou army was beaten to death in this battle. The entire Northern Zhou army collapsed that night, and the whole army abandoned their camps and fled. The Northern Qi army took the opportunity to attack and spread all over the land of Chuanze from Mangshan Mountain to Gushui Thirty Li. The corpses of the soldiers and the discarded weapons. Gao Changgong won the first battle, and his reputation was greatly enhanced. The soldiers in the army sang songs to praise Gao Changgong's invincible majesty. This is the famous "Lanling King Entering the Battle".

"Another general who is famous for his mask is Di Qing during the Northern Song Dynasty. Di Qing was born in a poor family. When he was young, his brother fought with others. He should have been put in prison for a crime. Di Qing was arrested by the government on behalf of his brother and sent to the army. Therefore he A gold letter was tattooed on his face as a mark of the prisoner. Later, Di Qing fought the enemy bravely in the army. First, he made repeated military exploits in the battle with the Xixia Army, and then defeated Nong Zhigao at Kunlun Pass, becoming famous in the first battle.

"It is said that during the battle, Di Qing had disheveled hair and covered his face with a bronze mask. He looked like a ghost, and everyone who saw him was frightened. Some people say that the reason why he covered his face with a bronze mask was to cover up the prisoner's golden seal tattooed on his face. It's just that Later, when Di Qing accumulated military merits and went to Beijing to serve as a privy envoy, he still had black scars on his face. Song Renzong advised Di Qing to apply medicine to get rid of the black scars. Di Qing pointed to his face and said, Your Majesty used his military exploits to pull minister Jian out of the army During this period, I did not ask about the origin of the minister. The reason why the minister is today is because of these scars. The minister hopes to keep it to inspire the soldiers, so that everyone can know that as long as you are loyal to the king and fight the enemy bravely, even those who have committed crimes A military man also has a chance to get a good background. Therefore, the minister dare not obey the emperor's order. With such a heart, why would Di Qing care about the gold seal scar on his face? He must have used the bronze mask to deter the enemy. , to boost the morale of the soldiers under your command."

Thinking of this, he looked at the ferocious masks of the soldiers, and thought again: "I have been serving in the palace for five years, but I have never heard of any army in this dynasty wearing masks before going out to war."

He was surprised and looked carefully for a long time.Those soldiers stood still all the time, seeming to turn a blind eye to Li Qiufeng.It's just that through the fine holes in the mask where the eyes are located, Li Qiufeng always felt that these soldiers seemed to be staring at him coldly, and suddenly felt a chill.

He took out Jinyiwei's badge from his pocket, held it in front of him, and said loudly: "I am Li Qiufeng, a hundred household in Fusi, Jinyiwei South Town, please speak out, the general in charge!"

Liu Yong and others stood on the steps and heard Li Qiufeng's words clearly.Everyone thought: "Hero Li is still witty. The Jinyiwei is the Emperor's pro-army, and the generals of the guards are afraid of the Jinyiwei. He took out the badge of the Jinyiwei, and these soldiers must not dare to act without authorization."

Unexpectedly, after Li Qiufeng finished speaking, the soldiers in front of him were silent and still stood still.

Li Qiufeng said it again, but the soldiers still didn't answer.His heart trembled, and he listened intently, but he didn't even hear the sound of breathing.

At this time, Li Qiufeng was no more than ten feet away from the front row of soldiers. With his martial arts, no matter how advanced the opponent's martial arts were, he could still hear the sound of breathing.But he couldn't hear any abnormal sound, and he immediately judged that there was something strange about it.

Li Qiufeng stared at a soldier, and suddenly took a step forward, unsheathed the long knife in his right hand, and lightly picked at his mask.Hearing a "clank", the mask had already been picked up by him and fell to the ground with a "snap".

When everyone on the steps saw Li Qiufeng's sudden sword attack, their hearts shuddered.Liu Yong raised Zhentianzi with his left hand, held the guide rope with his right hand, and aimed at the place three feet in front of Li Qiufeng.Taoist Qingfeng and others drew out their swords one after another, only waiting for Liu Yong to launch Zhentianzi, they rushed forward to meet Li Qiufeng.

Murong Danyan held the long sword in his hand, his body trembled slightly.

Li Qiufeng held the knife in his right hand, pointing the tip at the ground obliquely, and took out the fire pocket from his pocket with his left hand, and after shaking it brightly, he held the fire pocket in front of him.

Under the light of the fire, there was a white skull under the helmet.

Even though Li Qiufeng was always calm, he was taken aback at this time, and took two steps back involuntarily.The embroidered spring knife in his hand was across his chest, and his heart was pounding.

I saw the skull staring straight at Li Qiufeng with a pair of dark eye holes, the situation was indescribably weird.

Li Qiufeng stood in a daze for a moment before he realized it.With a figure like lightning, he rushed forward and removed the masks of three soldiers.Under the mask, there are still three white skulls.

Li Qiufeng turned pale with shock, thinking that it was no wonder that he couldn't hear the breathing of these people, it turned out that the armor wrapped in these armors turned out to be skeletons.He thought for a moment, and then swished the long knife in his hand, cutting three times horizontally, and then four times vertically.These seven knives were as fast as lightning. After the light of the knives flashed, there was only a "crash", and the armor and underwear of the soldier who was picked off the mask by him first fell off to the ground, revealing a pair of rotten flesh and blood. Exhausted bones.

It turned out that Li Qiufeng's seven knives cut off all the ties of the soldier's armor, and the soldier's armor immediately fell off.The strap of the underwear was also cut off, and it fell to the ground together with the armor.

Everyone on the steps also saw this strange situation, and everyone turned pale with shock.

Li Qiufeng looked at the skeleton and couldn't help being dazed.The skeleton held the gun in its right hand, still maintaining a standing posture.Only a moment later, the skeleton without armor could not support the weight of the helmet, the sound of "click" continued, and the skeleton collapsed to the ground.

Afterwards, Li Qiufeng peeled off the armor of the remaining three soldiers whose masks had been picked off, and what was wrapped in the armor was not flesh, but skeletons with rotting flesh.

Li Qiufeng looked at the countless layers of soldiers in front of him, and the four broken skeletons that had fallen to the ground, with so many thoughts in his mind that he was stunned for a while.

After a while, he woke up, turned around and said loudly to Liu Yong and the others: "Seniors, please come and talk!"

Everyone was very nervous and ready to help at any time, but they didn't expect that Li Qiufeng didn't call for help, but let everyone go.Liu Yong, Qingfeng Taoist and others still hesitated, but Murong Danyan put his feet on the ground, soared into the air, and flew straight from the steps to Jinshui Bridge.Seeing that she was about to land on the Jinshui Bridge, she saw that her right foot touched the bridge railing, and she flew forward again, landing lightly beside Li Qiufeng.

Seeing her being so impatient, everyone laughed at her for being reckless.But Qingfeng Taoist and others thought to themselves: "Although this little girl is reckless in doing things, her lightness is amazing. She has obviously been taught by a master. If she can practice calmly, her achievements will be limitless in the future."

Murong Danyan came to Li Qiufeng's side and was about to speak when he saw four broken skeletons lying on the ground. He was shocked and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Li, you, you cut them into such a state ?”

Li Qiufeng was stunned, and then smiled wryly: "There is no martial art of all sects and sects in the world that can cut a person into such a shape in an instant. Even Mr. Murong Qiushui's swordsmanship is superb, and he wants to cut people into skeletons in one fell swoop. Are you afraid you can’t do it?”

Murong Danyan looked hesitant, looked at the countless soldiers wearing masks in front of him, and said to Li Qiufeng in a low voice: "Brother Li, why didn't they attack?"

Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice, "Because they are all dead."

Murong Danyan was startled, turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "Dead people? These tens of thousands of people are all dead..."

Li Qiufeng sighed, and said: "I guess so. Otherwise, they would have rushed up and chopped us into meat paste."

Murong Danyan was dumbfounded, and after a while, he murmured: "Who has such a great ability to kill so many people in one fell swoop? And after killing them, why put them in such a state again?"
