Ni Chu

Xiang Qing and the young man with her rushed towards the gate of the city without looking back. The soldiers guarding the gate saw two men with daggers rushing from the city, and quickly raised their spears in a defensive posture.

Xiang Qing and the young man ignored these soldiers, rushed out of the city gate, and rushed towards the wilderness outside the city.

"Quick! Close the city gate!" Seeing the two men rushing out of the city and seeing people chasing after them, the officer guarding the city knew that something serious must have happened in the city, so he quickly ordered the soldiers to close the gate, trying to stop the people behind them Find out what happened.

As soon as he gave the order, the white-clothed swordsmen who followed Xiang Qing and the others also arrived, and rushed out of the city in a flash.

Seeing another person rushing out, the guarding soldiers hurriedly closed the city gate, holding their spears and forming a defensive formation in the direction where Xiang Qing and the others rushed out.

Soon Guan Yijian rushed towards the city gate with a dagger in his hand. When he saw that the city gate was closed, he narrowed his eyes slightly, avoided the defending soldiers, and rushed towards the city wall .

The officers and soldiers guarding the city didn't expect him to run towards the city wall, and they immediately made a mess. The soldiers in charge of guarding the city wall heard the noise from below the city wall, and hurriedly ran towards the stairs up the city wall.

Before the officers and soldiers on the city wall ran to the stairs, Guan Yijian had already rushed up. After reaching the city wall, without any delay, he hugged the soldier who was running at the front, jumped over the battlements and jumped down towards the city. .

The soldier caught by Guan Yijian screamed and fell towards the city wall, while Guan Yijian held him firmly, pinning him down and falling down the city wall together with him.

"Peng!" After a muffled sound, Guan Yijian and the soldier fell to the ground, creating a puff of smoke and dust. The soldier's body cracked and almost became a piece of meat pie, while Guan Yijian was covered by someone making a meat pad underneath. He was not seriously injured, but his left arm was broken.

"Shoot him!" The officer in charge of guarding the city was furious when he saw Guan Yijian pulling his soldiers as pads, and immediately gave the order to shoot Guan Yijian.

The archers on the city wall quickly opened their bows and shot at Guan Yijian at the bottom of the city.

Guan Yijian faced the city wall and quickly backed away. A rain of arrows fell on him. He swung the dagger in his hand like a fan blade, directing all the arrows aimed at him to the ground. aside.

When the archers in the city opened their bowstrings again to shoot at him for the second time, he had already retreated out of the range of the bow and arrow.

Out of the range of the bow and arrow, Guan Yijian turned around and chased Xiang Qing and others who had become three small dots in the distance.

After all, Xiang Qing is a woman. Although her actions are not much worse than men, she is still lacking in stamina and explosive power. After running for several miles, she gradually falls behind the young man with her.

The young man turned his head to look at Xiang Qing who was behind, and asked worriedly: "Princess, are you unable to run anymore?"

Xiang Qing is so strong, how can she listen to such words, she glared at the young man and shouted: "Xiang Tong, don't worry about me, run quickly, I'll kill you."

Xiang Tong was originally a partial general under Xiang Yu's command, but this time he was ordered by Xiang Liang to come to Changyuan with Xiang Qing and the eyeliner joint arranged by the Chu army in Changyuan.

The task has been completed, they planned to set off to return to Chu after dinner, but unexpectedly met Guan Yijian in the building, not only all the followers were killed, but also chased by him all the way.

As a member of the Xiang clan and a partial general of the Chu army, how could Xiang Tong leave Xiang Qing alone and run away? The white-clothed swordsman who caught up rushed over.

"Princess, I'm stopping them, you run away! Don't forget to avenge me in the future!" When crossing Xiang Qing's shoulders, Xiang Tong smiled at her, and rushed towards the white swordsman with his sword.

He wasn't worried about the white-clothed swordsman who was following behind. What really worried him was Guan Yijian, who fell far behind and was wearing dark blue clothes.He had already seen Guan Yijian's swordsmanship before, and he thought to himself that if he confronted him, he would never survive three rounds, and when he turned back, he was already prepared to die.

Seeing Xiang Tong turning back, Xiang Qing stomped his feet in secret annoyance, turned back and rushed towards the white-clothed swordsman.

The white-clothed swordsman didn't expect the two to turn their heads suddenly, and was taken aback, and quickly waved his dagger to meet Xiang Tong.

When the two of them got together three or five steps away, Xiang Tong suddenly rolled forward with a short body, and stabbed straight at the lower abdomen of the white-clothed swordsman with the dagger in his hand.

The white-clothed swordsman saw a dagger piercing his lower abdomen, so he quickly twisted his body and spun around to avoid the sword.

After avoiding Xiang Tong's stabbing sword, the swordsman in white slashed down at Xiang Tong's neck with the dagger in his hand.

Xiang Tong hurriedly swung the short sword across his head, blocking the sword attack from the swordsman in white, and then pushed the sword forward, slashing at the swordsman in white's wrist.

The white-clothed swordsman flipped his wrist, and the dagger turned 360 degrees, defusing Xiang Tong's thrust.

At this moment, Xiang Qing had already rushed up to the two of them. After rushing up, she thrust a sword towards the neck of the swordsman in white without any delay.

The swordsman in white hurriedly raised his sword to block Xiang Qing's thrust. Just as he raised his arm, his lower abdomen suddenly hurt. In his abdomen, blood was flowing out along the dagger.

Before he recovered from the pain in his lower abdomen, there was another burst of cool pain from his neck. Immediately afterwards, he saw blood gushing from his neck like a fountain, and the scene in front of him was spinning rapidly. He felt that when he fell heavily to the ground, everything in front of him was gradually replaced by darkness.

After killing the swordsman in white, Xiang Qing and Xiang Tong put away their swords and prepared to continue running forward, but they stopped after taking two or three steps.

Guan Yijian, with one arm hanging softly by his side, was standing six or seven steps ahead, looking at them with a playful smile on his face. When they stopped, Guan Yijian slightly raised his chin towards them and said: "Run, keep running! You two are good at swordsmanship, and your escape skills are even better. I want to see how long you can run!"

"Princess, you go first!" Seeing Guan Yijian standing in front of him, Xiang Tong knew that he must be unlucky this time, so he shouted at Xiang Qing, and rushed towards Guan Yijian with his sword.

"I heard that the back door will be narrower after people run wildly. I want you to run away!" Seeing Xiang Tong rushing towards him, Guan Yijian curled his lips in disappointment, and swung the dagger with his right hand to draw a knife on his chest. Arc, and shouted at Xiang Tong: "But as long as you have him, you can die!"

Just as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from not far from the side: "Hehe, Guan Yijian, long time no see, who are you looking at again?"

After the voice came, Guan Yijian, Xiang Qing, and Xiang Tong were all stunned.The three stopped their movements at the same time, and all three pairs of eyes looked towards the place where the sound came from.

Two white-clothed youths walked towards this side with their long swords in their hands. When Xiang Qing saw the face of the young man walking in front, he was startled, his mouth was open and he didn't speak for a long time. .

"Hehe, Miss Meng and Brother Xiang Ye, I haven't seen each other for more than ten days." Guan Yijian saw the two people walking over, and his face was filled with a smile. Greedy like blood: "I was worried that I couldn't find you, but I didn't expect you to come to my door by yourself. Hehe, it seems that this wealth should be mine, but I can't hide it!"

Xiang Ye shook his head and smiled wryly. He and Mengsu headed east all the way after they separated from Gai Nie. Originally, they planned to rush to the Jiangdong Xiang clan's barracks to hand over Mengsu to them. Guan Yijian who bullies others with swordsmanship.

More than ten days ago, the two of them suffered a lot from Guan Yijian. Seeing him now, they still feel a little uneasy, but according to Xiang Ye's temperament, seeing Guan Yijian bullying the two is absolutely impossible How could Xiang Ye, who has improved his swordsmanship after learning the "Longxiang swordsmanship", stand by and watch?

So there was this scene of polite dialogue like old friends meeting each other.

When they were more than ten steps away from Guan Yijian, Xiang Ye and Mengsu stopped, and Xiang Ye said to Guan Yijian with a haha: "I said Guan Yijian, you must not have heard something. However, this saying did not become popular until hundreds of years later, but today I can teach you in advance, that is, "Three days after farewell, you must look at each other with admiration". If you don't understand this truth, it will be very dangerous to walk in the world."

"Oh?" Guan Yijian pretended to be very surprised, looked Xiang Ye from head to toe and said: "You and I have been separated for more than ten days, and Guan really didn't see any difference between you, please give me your advice! "

"Of course I came here to teach you!" Xiang Ye curled his lips and said unceremoniously: "In the past ten days, I accidentally thought of a set of swordsmanship, and after practicing it casually, I think I can beat you. I wanted to try the sword with you, but I actually ran into you!"

"Okay! Okay!" Guan Yijian's right hand holding the short sword trembled slightly because of excitement, and his voice became a little trembling: "I want to see what sword skills you have learned, just practice You can defeat me in just over ten days!"

Xiang Ye pouted, raised a finger and shook it in front of his nose, and said to Guan Yijian: "Wrong, you are wrong, I didn't practice for more than ten days, but only practiced for three days, but Three days should be enough!"

When Guan Yijian heard his arrogant words, not only was he not annoyed, but he laughed and said to him: "Then come, I can't wait!"

Xiang Ye didn't speak any more, but slowly pulled out the long sword hanging from his waist. After pulling out the long sword, he posed a seemingly very simple shape at a very slow speed. Swordsmanship" starting gesture.
