Chapter 297

The moonlight was like a blade, and the animal skins were like a forest.

The moonlight was cut into pieces by hundreds of animal skins that were wind-dried like curtains, casting narrow silver spots through the gaps, like scattered blade fragments, flickering on the ground.

More than twenty assassins were divided into several teams, holding curved knives, walking through the layers of animal skin curtains, searching for Wang Yang's figure.

The corner of an assassin's eye caught a badger skin swaying slightly, and he immediately gave a gesture to his companion. The four of them lightened their steps, walked to the front, one person lightly pressed the knife tip against the skin, and fiercely picked it upward!

The other three acted at the same time, one person entered the knife in the middle palace, one person slashed sideways downward, and one person defended with a horizontal knife. The moves were sharp and the cooperation was strict—

There was no one.

Only a light green jade pendant shaped like a Vermilion Bird lay quietly on the ground.

Suddenly, the jade pendant slid to the left! It was actually pulled by a silk thread!

At the moment when several people's eyes moved with the jade pendant, Chen Qingshan's sword edge had already silently stabbed out from behind the skin curtain on the right. A cold light flashed, accurately piercing a person's throat!

The other three swung their knives and slashed fiercely! The knife wind carried the killing intent and rushed toward her face! Chen Qingshan didn't have time to pull out the sword, immediately let go of the hilt, stepped on the drying rack, pulled her waist and abdomen fiercely, and flipped back behind the three of them. When she landed, her knees were slightly bent to unload the force, her strong waist twisted, and her right elbow slammed into the back heart of the assassin in the middle!

The person in the middle staggered forward, and the two people on the left and right reacted extremely quickly, almost turning around and slashing at the same time!

The curved knife on the left carried a wind-breaking sharp sound and slashed toward Chen Qingshan's waist, while the blade on the right slashed directly at Chen Qingshan's brow!

Chen Qingshan took half a step forward and got stuck between the two, sinking her waist and collapsing her shoulders, her body leaning back and tilting to the right like a green bamboo bent by a gale, her slender left leg swept out like a whip, hitting the ribs of the assassin on the left!

That person was kicked and flew horizontally, knocking down two rows of drying racks, and animal skins and wooden poles clattered to the ground! And the snow-like knife surface on the right side brushed across Chen Qingshan's face, reflecting her cold lips and icy eyes.

Time retreated to two blinks ago. When the two assassins on the left and right slashed at Chen Qingshan, the person who had been elbowed forward also turned his direction and rushed toward Chen Qingshan with a knife. Suddenly, he was covered by an animal skin from the side and back, his eyes went black, and his mouth and nose were blocked by rough fur, and even his voice was muffled in his throat! At the same time, there was a bone-chilling pain in his back waist, which was actually pierced by a sharp weapon!

This person was surprised but not chaotic. He didn't panic and slash, nor was he in a hurry to lift the animal skin, but followed the direction of the stab, turned his hand and stabbed a knife, fiercely stabbing down!

Stabbed into the air.

It turned out that Wang Yang had stabbed the waist, didn't even pull out the dagger, and had no intention of continuing to stab at all. After one strike, he immediately flashed to the side of the corpse pierced by Chen Qingshan, pulled out Chen Qingshan's sword, and threw it to her: "Catch the sword!"

The long sword drew a silver arc in the night sky!

At this time, Chen Qingshan was avoiding the knife edge of the assassin on the right. Seeing the long sword flying, she flashed through the gap of the knife light, and her right hand scooped in the air—

The moment the long sword was in hand, it had already stabbed out, the sword tip pierced from the assassin's neck, piercing the throat with one sword!

Chen Qingshan spun and pulled out the sword, threw it along the trend, the cold light flew, and it was inserted directly into the chest of the assassin who had just struggled out of the animal skin.

The two of them were exposed, and the assassins shouted and rushed over.

Wang Yang pulled out the sword neatly, Chen Qingshan picked up the knife with her feet, the two of them threw their arms and threw them in a tacit understanding, exchanged the knife and sword to catch them, and then quickly retreated to the west.

Guo Shao took five people and stood not far away. Seeing this scene, he raised his hand, and the four of them carried short axes, rushing out like wolves, forming a pincer attack with the assassins. Only one person holding a bow remained, who was Guo Shao's trusted family slave, whose archery was very exquisite, still standing by Guo Shao's side.

Guo Shao stood with his hands behind his back. After his four subordinates rushed out, he said to the family slave:

"Let's go too. You find an opportunity to shoot an arrow. Don't worry about the woman, shoot the Han envoy first."

"Obey."

As Wang Yang and Chen Qingshan were running away, they suddenly heard Le Luo Luo's voice on the road ahead in the west! First, he shouted a few words in barbarian language, and then switched to Han Chinese and shouted:

"Wang Yang, this way! Follow me!"

Came so fast...

Wang Yang didn't hesitate, directly gave up the plan to run west, turned his direction to the north, and stayed away from Le Luo Luo. But he just happened to meet the four people who came to intercept and kill him!

"You go first!"

Chen Qingshan's green blade vibrated, and she greeted the four people with her sword.

Wang Yang knew that their primary goal was himself, so he didn't hesitate, turned around and went south, staying away from Chen Qingshan. As soon as Chen Qingshan fought, she knew that these four people were all good hands, fearing that they would chase Wang Yang, she immediately attacked without defending!

The sword wind carried killing intent, hitting and rushing fiercely, as if fighting for her life! For a time, she actually used her own strength to suppress the four people so that they couldn't advance an inch!

Although the short axe is fierce, it is difficult to get close, and the long edge points to where the waist is broken!

On Wang Yang's side, the assassins surrounded him, blocking his way. Wang Yang shouted while running: "If I die, the great army will surely level the barbarian village, and not even a chicken or dog will be left!"

I don't know what the situation was. Before the words fell, the wind rose and the curtains flew, and animal skins were raised in the night wind, like countless drifting ghosts.

Once the animal skins were raised, there was no cover for the line of sight! It was simply a god-given opportunity! Guo Shao immediately said:

"It's now! Draw the bow!"

The family slave pulled the bowstring and aimed at Wang Yang.

"Shoot the arrow!" Guo Shao urged.

After the person paused for a while, the bowstring vibrated!

The sharp arrow flew out of the string and took Wang Yang directly!

In the flash of lightning, a burly figure suddenly rushed out from the side!

Pu—

The arrow pierced into Le Luo Luo's shoulder blade!

More than a dozen assassins swarmed over. Le Luo Luo blocked in front of Wang Yang, roared, grabbed the thin leather vest on his body with his left hand, and only heard a crisp sound of tearing, the leather material was torn and pulled away alive! He was naked on his upper body, dancing the leather shirt into a residual shadow with his left hand, sweeping and curling the blade wildly, and slashing with his right hand, like a barbarian bull rushing against the assassins, cutting down five or six people in an instant, the blood foam stirred up by the blade splashing all around, like a dark red rain.

Seeing the assassins fighting with Le Luo Luo, Guo Shao shouted angrily:

"Don't worry about others! Kill Wang Yang first! Kill Wang Yang first!" Then he looked at the family slave fiercely and questioned sharply:

"Why didn't you shoot the arrow?!"

Le Luo Luo's few guards caught up and fought, protecting Le Luo Luo. Le Luo Luo was covered in blood, not knowing whether it was his own or the enemy's. He retreated slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and roared in barbarian language:

"I am Le Luo Luo! The Nine-Tooth Guard has arrived! Guo Shao rebelled and wanted to destroy the barbarian tribe! Those who surrender will not be punished! Those who kill Guo Shao will get his official position, title, and property! Another ten bags of gold!"

As soon as Le Luo Luo's words came out, the four people who besieged Chen Qingshan retreated without hesitation. At this time, a piece of torches lit up in the east, accompanied by dense footsteps and shouts, approaching quickly. After Wang Yang confirmed that Chen Qingshan was fine, he immediately found someone to translate Le Luo Luo's shout just now.

The assassins scattered, and Guo Shao stood blankly in place, as if his soul had been drained! The fire in the distance shone on him, illuminating a pale face.

The family slave beside him retreated quietly. Guo Shao looked behind the family slave and said in surprise: "Right Haya is here!"

The family slave was also startled and looked back. Guo Shao rushed toward the archer like a fierce tiger, stabbed fiercely with a short knife from bottom to top, the knife tip sank into the abdomen, and every knife carried an irrepressible violence and resentment:

"I said long ago, don't just practice archery!"

After Guo Shao killed his trusted follower, he turned around and started running wildly.

Le Luo Luo pulled out the arrowhead, threw it away, and led people to pursue. Wang Yang whispered a word to Chen Qingshan, Chen Qingshan nodded, rushed out, chased Guo Shao, and Wang Yang followed closely behind.

More and more people gathered from all directions. Guo Shao couldn't tell the direction either, gritted his teeth, and rushed toward the darkest place of the fire. At this time, a general led a team of barbarian soldiers to arrive. Seeing Le Luo Luo chasing Guo Shao, he immediately drew his bow and set an arrow. Chen Qingshan shouted: "Stop!" Le Luo Luo shouted: "Don't kill him!"

As soon as the sound came out, the arrow had already left the string, directly shooting Guo Shao to the ground!

Chen Qingshan and Le Luo Luo hurriedly rushed forward to check Guo Shao's life and death.

Guo Shao fell on his back, and a gasping sound came from his throat. Blood kept pouring out from the corners of his mouth, mixed with bubbles, accumulating into a sticky dark red pool on his chest. His lips trembled as he wanted to speak, but he only spat out mouthfuls of blood foam, his arms raised with difficulty, as if he wanted to do something, but it was too late to do anything. In an instant, he hung down like exhaustion, smashed into the blood-stained ground, and there was no movement.

Chen Qingshan tried Guo Shao's breathing, felt a bit annoyed, stood up, and shook her head at Wang Yang.

Le Luo Luo carefully checked Guo Shao's wound. The barbarian general stepped forward, bowed and said a lot in barbarian language. Wang Yang couldn't understand it. It looked like he was pleading guilty. How could Le Luo Luo blame him at this juncture? He also encouraged him a few words, saying he would reward him heavily.

Wang Yang stood by, always looking at Le Luo Luo's expression. At this time, Le Luo Luo looked at Wang Yang and said apologetically:

"Brother Wang, you were frightened tonight. It was my poor deployment. I will go see my father first, and then come to apologize to you when I return."

Wang Yang waved his hand:

"Brother, what are you talking about? If you hadn't saved my life tonight, my life would have been lost long ago. How can we talk about apologizing? I have kept this kindness in my heart. It just so happens that I also want to see Zou Ye, so I will go with you."

The crowd rushed to Old Zou Ye's residence. Wang Yang asked while walking: "Is your injury okay?"

Le Luo Luo didn't know how many wounds he had, but they shouldn't be heavy. He wiped the blood on his shoulder: "This little injury is nothing."

Wang Yang sighed:

"If you hadn't come to save me today, I would have fallen. Fortunately, you came in time. Why didn't you bring more people?"

Le Luo Luo smiled bitterly:

"I don't have any people. The so-called Nine-Tooth Guard is all bluffing. The barbarian army has left the village, and I didn't have time to gather the remaining people. I originally brought a few guards to invite you to see my father, but I happened to run into you in danger. I heard that the Nine-Headed Tent was also attacked just now, it should be an attempt to assassinate me."

Wang Yang didn't ask why he invited him to see his father, but whispered: "So what you said before that Guo Shao wanted to destroy the barbarian tribe was also bluffing."

Le Luo Luo also lowered his voice: "Indeed, saying so is to disintegrate the hearts of Guo Shao's subordinates. Although there are Han people in the tribe, the number is small. Guo Shao also doesn't get close to the Han people to avoid suspicion. Those who are willing to rebel with him, except for his barbarian slaves, should be those barbarians who are unwilling to submit. I don't know when he colluded to form a force..."

Wang Yang understood in his heart and didn't speak again.
