Chapter 246: 245 On Suolong Ridge

The fog filled the air, and a group of soldiers and horses were passing through the road between the mountains.

The Shixins were disheartened and weak, and no one spoke during the march.

This is the defeated soldiers of Tianwangzhai all the way. There are only less than a thousand people left, and the morale is low, and Lu Longchuan is among them.

He had a look of exhaustion that could not be concealed. He frequently observed the back and surroundings, and looked alert, like a bird in a panic.

Since the real Yufeng was poisoned and assassinated by Nei Hao, Chen Feng took action to attack the fortress, and the war situation turned sharply.

Tianwangzhai was defeated on a large scale, and had to fight and run. Under the fierce pursuit of Longwangzhai, the large troops retreated and fell apart. Some people were killed and others were captured, and there were countless deserters, turning into defeated soldiers in various ways.

Lu Longchuan is now surrounded by only about a dozen leaders such as Sun Rong and Shi Hu. That Master Yufeng, even when he was defeated, ran away with his disciples without a trace.

The soldiers and horses he led had broken their tails to survive and barely broke through the siege. Now they have been fleeing for many days, they are exhausted.

After being defeated in such a situation, Lu Longchuan knew that nothing could be done, and he only had one thought, that is to throw away the pursuers and escape from Huyang.

He looked around at the dejected defeated soldiers, and when he thought of the huge power of Tianwangzhai, there were only a few people left, and his heart was bleeding.

Decades of foundation, all at once!

It hurts, it hurts too much!

“哂…”

Lu Longchuan suddenly groaned and covered the wound under his ribs,

“Brother, can you support your body?”

Shi Hu rushed over, his tone concerned.

“Huh…I’m fine. I haven’t seen it for many years, and Guo Haishen’s martial arts are more and more amazing, stronger than I was in the past.”

Lu Longchuan exhaled with a complicated expression.

In the previous battle, he fought against Guo Haishen in the chaotic army, but he was no match for the other side. He was injured by the opponent and was almost captured.

Many years ago, when he was the “King of Heaven”, the overlord of the green forest, Guo Haishen once went to the north to challenge him.

But now, he is old and his martial arts have regressed, and Guo Haishen has cultivated a lot of advanced martial arts, and his skills are very good. .

He sighed in his heart, not only feeling sorry for himself, but also lamenting the impermanence of fate,

At this time, in the thick fog ahead, a strangely shaped mountain appeared, with steep terrain.

Lu Longchuan hurriedly ordered the entire army to stop, and immediately came to the front of the team.

“Where is the front, it’s so sinister!”

Hearing this, Sun Rong pondered: “We have now fled to the southwest of Pingzhou, Huyang, where there are many mountains and dense forests. I see that the mountain in front of me looks like an oolong entangled in the mountain, which should be the lock dragon that the locals call it. ridge.”

Lock Dragon Ridge!

Lu Longchuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he only felt that it was bad luck.

Sun Rong continued: “The map shows that there is a small path in Suolongling. If you can find a guide to lead the way, you can go directly through it, which can save a lot of distance. After leaving Suolongling, there is a big road, which leads directly to Pingzhou Prefecture, and then Continue to march for a few days, and you will be able to leave the Huyang boundary, and then you will be safe, ”

Lu Longchuan subconsciously refused to enter the Suolong Ridge, and said: “I see the terrain ahead is dangerous, there may be an ambush, it is better to detour”…

Sun Rong frowned: “The soldiers are very fast. If we go around, we will not be able to delay for a day or two. Once the soldiers arrive, we will have no way to escape. Now we only have the remnants of defeated soldiers. If Longwangzhai can rush ahead of us, it would be better to go directly. Show up and stop me waiting :”

“That’s… well.”

Lu Longchuan thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

He sent out a scout to look for people nearby, and soon found a small village with less than 100 households, mostly local hunters.

Seeing soldiers approaching the door, the villagers were very vigilant and took out their hunting bows or pitchforks.

Lu Longchuan didn’t want to have any troubles, he said he just wanted to cross the mountain and find a guide,

Because Longwangzhai was very popular in Huyang, he was quite wary of the local villagers and did not dare to declare his name, and just pretended to be an ordinary deserter all the way.

At the same time, he also carefully observed the expressions of the villagers, and if he noticed any differences, he immediately ordered to kill them.

The villagers looked at each other, seemingly undecided.

At this moment, a young man with strong body came out and said solemnly:

“I am a hunter in this village, I am very familiar with the mountains and forests, and I am willing to be a guide to take you across the mountains, but I beg the soldiers and gentlemen not to hurt the villagers.”

Lu Longchuan nodded: “I just want to cross the ridge quickly. If you cooperate, I will not bother you.”

“It’s a deal, allow me to appease the folks, and we’ll set off from here.”

The young man nodded, turned around and whispered a few words to the villagers, as if to comfort him, and then walked into the Lu Longchuan army.

Lu Longchuan has been observing, but did not notice anything unusual. He asked if anyone from Longwangzhai had come recently. After getting the unanimous denial of the villagers, he let the guide lead the way, and the group entered the mountain.

This young man is indeed an old hunter, walking in the mountains and forests like walking on the ground, and he is quite familiar with the path.

Lu Longchuan saw this young man walking vigorously and skillfully, so he couldn’t help asking: “What’s your name? I think you are agile, but you have practiced martial arts.”

The young man nodded and replied casually:

“The villain’s name is Lu Sheng, and he has indeed practiced it. In this Huyang realm, who can’t use a few crops, especially those like us who have lived in hunting, do not practice some superficial martial arts, and one day encounter a beast, run all Can’t run.”

Lu Longchuan nodded silently, which is not surprising.

After staying in Huyang for so long, it is no surprise that he is full of martial virtues of the local villagers.

After all, Chen Feng spread martial arts unscrupulously, and even the tongue twisters of the villagers and children might be the secret formulas of the martial arts secret books of some major school.

With Lu Sheng leading the way, this troop was not slow, and soon penetrated into Suolongling.

But seeing the mist in the forest and the shadows of the trees, although it was daytime, the sight was rather dim.

Lu Sheng wiped his sweat and said, “Follow this path for another two hours or so, and you will be able to leave the mountain before dark,”

“It’s good to dare.” Lu Longchuan exhaled,

On the way, he has been on guard all the time, for fear of an ambush, but there has been no movement, which finally made him feel at ease.

However, at this moment, in the woods not far away, there was a sudden sound of clattering, as if many people were running and approaching.

At the same time, a thunderous shout suddenly sounded in the forest:

“Hahaha, it really came!”

“I’m waiting for the road to ambush here, but it’s not in vain!”…

“Dragon King Village is here, don’t surrender soon!”

“Hugh is leaving the enemy!”

shouted and exploded, and Lu Longchuan and his group were instantly shocked.

“What, there is actually an ambush!” Sun Rong paled in shock

The team directly blew the pot. The soldiers, who were already in low morale, did not wait for the leader to command, and fled in the opposite direction of the shouting, panicking, throwing away their armor and armor, and quickly scattered in the misty forest.

Lu Longchuan and other leaders had already been frightened by Chen Feng, and they did not dare to stay to fight, so they turned around and ran away.

Behind them, the screams of killing are always with you, near and far,

Unconsciously asked, Lu Longchuan and others have been chased and changed directions several times.

Suddenly, a group of people stepped on the air, exclaimed and fell into a hole trap camouflaged by thin leaves, and a short bamboo spear was set in the hole.

Plop Plop!

The group hurriedly turned around to dodge, but still got hit and was pierced by a bamboo spear, screaming in pain and bleeding profusely.

Most people were pierced through their limbs by bamboo spears, and their bodies were covered in green armor. Bamboo spears were difficult to penetrate and would not directly kill them.

Lu Longchuan was pierced in his shoulder and calf, sweating profusely in pain.

At this moment, at the edge of the cave, there were figures one after another. They were all the previous villagers, all dressed as hunters. The leader was Lu Sheng who had led the way.

At this time, the group of hunters drew bows and arrows, aiming at everyone in the cave.

“You are not allowed to move around, otherwise random arrows will be fired, and I will teach you to die under ten thousand arrows piercing your heart!”

Lu Sheng shouted loudly.

Lu Longchuan was shocked, and immediately said angrily: “You are from Longwangzhai! You are a guide specially to lead us into this trap!”

Lu Sheng did not change his face, and said solemnly:

“You’re wrong, this hole is a trap for trapping animals, and we’re not from Longwangzhai, so I’ll ask you to understand it today!

You guys who are defeated are looking for a guide. After this is done, they will definitely kill me and silence me.

When Lu Sheng was in Huyang, our life was much more comfortable than usual. If you came to the imperial court, you would take away the good days we were waiting for. If it weren’t for your power, I would have to cut off the heads of a few officers and soldiers. It’s uncomfortable, just in time, I lack a certificate to join the team. You guys are wearing armor and helmets. In my opinion, most of them are generals in the army. If you catch you, you will be considered meritorious. After I go up the mountain, I can be a leader. ”

Hearing the words, Yufeng’s face trembled with anger and his whole body trembled.

He thought he was in an ambush by the enemy, but he was planted in the hands of a group of rural people!

It’s really the hands of an eighty-year-old girl!

Shame!

“Brother, don’t panic, wait until I kill this group of foolish villagers and go out of the country!”

Shi Hu suddenly stood up and roared loudly, ignoring the bamboo spear stuck in his body, he was about to stare at the wall and jump to the ground, kicking off a killing spree.

“Shoot the arrow!”

Sun Rong let go without hesitation,

Boom!

There was a sound of bowstrings, and more than a dozen arrows flew out of the sky. Du Duo shot Shi Hu into a hedgehog, and he died with his eyes open.

“Two tigers!”

Xi Yicai’s eyes were about to split, a force surged up in his body, temporarily suppressed the pain, jumped up directly, and slashed at Sun Rong with a slash in the air.

The blade is whistling, and it contains the strength to cut gold and break jade.

However, Sun Rong was unafraid, pulled out his waist knife to meet him, actually blocked the powerful and heavy knife, and also restrained the leaping momentum of Yufeng, and counter-pressured the opponent who had nowhere to use the air. go down. …

Even if Yufeng was not seriously injured and his skills were greatly reduced, Sun Rong was able to block the opponent’s full-strength slash, and his martial arts were not weak. Obviously, it was not what he said before, but only some ‘superficial martial arts”.

That Yufeng was pushed back into the hole by a knife and wanted to jump up again. However, in the next moment, his body suddenly froze.

He heard a few dawdlings, and several arrows pierced into his back,

But it was the hunter who was surrounded by the other side of the burrow.

Xi Yicai’s eyes went dark, and the strength that he had raised with difficulty suddenly dissipated, his whole body was limp and weak, and only when he hit the ground with a knife post did he hold it strong and not fall down.

“My life is over…

That Yufeng was bleeding from his mouth and muttered to himself

When Chen Feng saw this, he couldn’t take care of his injury anymore, so he quickly reported himself to his home and shouted.

“Stop it! Stop it! He is the master of Tianwangzhai, and we are all leaders of Tianwangzhai. If you leave us alive and send it to Xi Yi, it will be a great contribution to you!”

Sun Rong raised his brows, and suddenly laughed happily, “Yo, it looks like I caught a big fish.”

Somewhere in Pingzhou, Huyang, Longwanghan’s pursuers are speaking

Lu Sheng was riding on horseback, surrounded by a group of leaders who were talking and discussing

“We chased for a long time, and most of the leaders of Tianwangzhai have been caught, but unfortunately we haven’t found that Yufeng. I don’t know where I ran to, I don’t know where I ran out of the Huyang boundary, right?”

Hong Ding first said in a deep voice.

Lu Sheng said casually: “It doesn’t matter, it’s good to be able to catch it, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t catch it. Anyway, we have captured most of the people in Tianwangzhai, so the foundation of Yufeng has been lost, and even if you leave, it will not be a climate.”

Fang Zhi touched his chin and said, “Second brother, I can understand why you are trying to divide the leaders, but you want to subdue them”

Lu Sheng nodded: “It is true, but this is only one of the reasons, the other reason is that they are kind to the big brother, so try not to harm their lives.”

Lu Longchuan sighed: “Alas, the two armies are sitting opposite each other, and they should have decided whether to live or die, depending on their means, but the second brother is still thinking of repaying his kindness for his brother. That second brother, don’t take my face into consideration, just kill it.”

“Let’s talk later,”Xi Yi did not respond.

At this moment, Duan Yunfeng suddenly sneered and said, “If the real person Guo Haishen was poisoned by spies, we would not have been able to win so nervous. Those traitorous officials in the courtroom, Gouguanjing, will fight in their dens, so I really saw them right.”

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but smile

They were originally curious why Yufeng Zhenren suddenly did not go out, but now that they have captured a large number of enemy troops, they naturally found out the situation, and they became more and more contemptuous of the imperial court.

In order to fight for power and profit, one’s own people backstabbed one’s own people, but instead they were cheapened by foreign enemies like them.

Everyone just felt that the gentlemen above the court were becoming more and more helpless, and they were contemptuous.

“This is the contempt of meat-eaters, and I can’t plan far.” Fang Zhen shook his head.

Lu Longchuan scratched his head,

Duan Yunfeng paused for a while, and then said with regret: “Unfortunately, the real teacher Yicai ran away from the chaotic army. After he recovers, he can contain the village owner, and he is a formidable enemy. If he can take advantage of the situation and catch him , you can cut off the right arm of the dog emperor.”

“That’s right.” Fang Zhen agreed, and then said with a wicked smile: “However, the real person Guo Haishen has such a rich family background that he brought so many gold and silver treasures, and it was cheaper for us in the end… I don’t know what he meant by bringing these treasures to the expedition. Is it possible that you still want to enjoy while fighting?”

Hearing this, Xi Yi interrupted the conversation and interjected:

“Alright, don’t think about it, just chase the Yufeng and talk about it,”

Everyone should be.

At this moment, a cavalry scout came running from the front and shouted loudly!

“Report! There is a group of villagers blocking the road ahead. The leader calls himself Sun Rong, and he says he is a villager at the foot of Suolong Mountain. He has captured Yufeng and other leaders of Tianwangzhai and wants to offer us prisoners!”

When everyone heard the words, their expressions changed immediately, they were surprised and curious.

Lu Longchuan was shocked: “That Xi Yicai was planted in the hands of a group of villagers. It’s true and false”

Lu Sheng raised his brows and laughed

“This is really easy to come by, brothers, come with me to greet Commander Lu!”
