Nightwatcher

"Everyone falls to the ground."

Chu Xianglong roared, he subconsciously wanted to rush at the ordinary maid, but he forcibly endured it, and turned to protect the "real" princess.

The boulder crashed down with a strong wind sound.

Yang Yan reached back and grabbed the silver spear carried on his back. With a slight shake of the spear tip, red tassels bloomed.

There was a "click", and the boulder, which was enough to crush half of the missionary team into a pulp, collapsed into finely broken pebbles and fell down with a crackling sound.

The gravel fell on the armor and helmet of the soldiers without pain or itching. The maidservant without protective equipment held her head and squatted on the ground, with the guards helping to cover the gravel.

After a wave of tentative attacks, it fell into a brief calm, and the opponent was not in a hurry to make a move.

Xu Qi'an squinted his eyes and stared at him. In the dense forest at a high place, stood a one-foot-tall figure. He was taller than the trees, and his body was covered with thick black hair.

The body is not muscular, but has a thick layer of fat, rough facial features, black hair all over the face, licking his lips, looking down at the eyes of everyone in the mission, full of bloodthirsty killings.

click, click

There was movement from the forest in the south, and the trees fell in pieces, as if they were being squeezed by some kind of creature.

Not long after, a black flood dragon emerged from the dense forest, it was so huge, its whole head was comparable to a two-story attic, with black mane, black scales, and forked horns.

The body exposed to everyone's eyes alone is more than twenty feet long, and the total length is more than one hundred feet by visual inspection.

A pair of vertical pupils stared at everyone indifferently.

This dragon is too big, right? Such a body is not suitable for fighting at all. Daoist Jinlian said in the ancient tomb that the monster race does not take the size route. The dragon has the blood of a demon god?

Hmm, maybe the northern monsters have the blood of the demon god, so they are in the same spirit as the northern barbarians who also have the blood of the demon god. Xu Qi'an began to speculate in his heart.

grunt

He heard the sound of swallowing, maintained a vigilant posture, and quickly looked around, and found that the soldiers and guards in the mission all had stiff expressions, and there was horror hidden in their eyes.

Fear of more powerful creatures is the instinct of living beings.

If an ordinary person saw such a terrifying dragon, he would either be so frightened that he would lose control of his bowels on the spot, or he would run away in a panic.

Haven't these soldiers participated in the Battle of Shanhaiguan back then? Well, Chen Xiao must have participated, there was no fear in his eyes Xu Qi'an was thinking, while examining the "black bear" on the mountain and the dragon in the south.

If it's just two fourth-ranks, then it's not a big problem. I'll teach them to be humans later, no, to be demons.

But at this moment, when everyone was terrified because of the appearance of the flood dragon, laughter like silver bells suddenly sounded.

Another strong man came, wearing a red dress, and her black hair was tied into a ponytail with a red ribbon. She came across the weedy wasteland, revealing a pair of red embroidered shoes as she walked.

Every time she took a step, a clump of weeds withered at her feet. Wherever she passed, no grass grew and life disappeared.

The appearance of this woman made the already nervous and fearful members of the mission even more desperate.

"It's them, it's really them," Chu Xianglong murmured, as if he was more at a loss than shocked by what happened before him.

Now that the matter has come to this point, one thing has become a fact, that is, the barbarians not only know that the princess is going to the northern border, but even estimated the time and place.

The barbarians are far less dull than they think.

He was at a loss as to how the barbarians and monsters in the north knew about this and set up an ambush in advance.

"Three ranks and four ranks?"

The Prime Minister of Dali Temple swallowed, his legs trembling slightly.

The faces of the two censors were pale, and they even collapsed. Two fourth-ranks could still resist them. If there were three fourth-ranks, it would be difficult for the current strength of the mission to compete with them.

Even Yang Yan, I'm afraid there are many dangers.

After all, civil servants are civil servants. If they are great Confucians from Confucian schools, the envoys are now considering how to fight back or capture them alive.

"Chu Xianglong, who are they?" Xu Qi'an shouted in a low voice.

He was reminding Chu Xianglong to report information, since he was from the northern barbarian or demon tribe, then Chu Xianglong must know the information about these fourth-rank masters.

Chu Xianglong's face was slumped, and his throat felt dry. Even an experienced general, facing the situation in front of him, he felt that he had no chance of winning.

He took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and said bitterly: "The black dragon is called Tang Shanjun, one of the three leaders of the dragon tribe, and he is good at swimming.

"The one on the mountain is the leader of the barbarian Blackwater tribe, Zalmuha, and the Blackwater tribe is famous for its infinite strength, second only to the Gu clan's Ligu tribe.

"As for this woman, she is a snake demon called Hongling. She and her clansmen are attached to the Qingyan tribe of the barbarian tribe. Hongling herself is the concubine of the leader of the Qingyan tribe."

After a pause, Chu Xianglong said in despair: "They are all fourth grade."

It was really the fourth-rank Dali Temple Prime Minister who swayed and almost couldn't stand still.

In the crowd, the ordinary concubine raised her head, quickly glanced at the three fourth-rank masters, then immediately lowered her head, trembling with fear.

She is a very insecure woman, and she is also timid. Usually, as long as she thinks about ghosts, she will not dare to sleep at night.

I never thought that one day, I would fall into such a terrible situation.

According to the rumors, the barbarians in the north are all savages who drink blood. Their favorite thing to do is to plunder the Dafeng border, eat the men, rape the women, and eat them too.

Falling into the hands of the barbarians, one can imagine the fate.

The three powerhouses of the barbarian and demon race quietly listened to what Chu Xianglong had said, and the gorgeous woman named Hong Ling giggled coquettishly and said:

"Hey, isn't this Deputy General Chu under Duke Huai's command? Three years ago, during the battle of Quyang River, he was thinking of you day and night."

Chu Xianglong snorted coldly: "A defeated general is not brave enough to speak."

"So today, my family is looking for you to continue their relationship." She has a charming voice, and her alluring face is always smiling, with a kind of charming charm.

Chu Xianglong ignored her, gripped the handle of the knife tightly, and his body was tense, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

The coquettish woman smiled, glanced across the group of messengers, paused for a moment on the princess wearing a veiled hat, then looked away, and after observing everyone, she clicked her tongue and said:

"A group of crooked melons and jujubes, except for Yang Yan, you can only make do with General Chu. Obediently hand over the princess, and the slave family can let you have a good time before you die."

Before Xu Qi'an's Vajra Divine Art was performed, there was no divine light shining on his body surface.

"I want Yang Yan. Don't steal it from me. The others will be handed over to you. Kill, eat, or take prisoner, it's up to you."

In the forest above the head, the one-foot-tall giant spoke with a loud voice like thunder.

"How did you track down the mission's whereabouts?"

At this time, someone in the crowd said loudly.

Mr. Tang Shan glanced at the other party and did not answer.

Standing in the forest, looking down on everyone, Zalmuha only had Yang Yan in his eyes.

Only Hong Ling, who was wearing a red dress and had gorgeous facial features, was a little interested when he saw that the interrogator was the handsome Yin Luo, and while flirting with him, he said with a smile:

"you guess."

Hello Sao Xu Qi'an clenched the black gold long knife, not annoyed by the other party's disdain and teasing, the other hand quietly ignited a page of paper.

As the saying goes, if a woman is all red, she is either coquettish or promiscuous. The man is all white, either mother or gay. According to the information disclosed by Chu Xianglong, none of the three fourth-ranks are good at tracking, so there are only two possibilities: a traitor among us. Or, the other party has a companion who has not shown up.

Hey, there are no other strong people around, isn't that right?

Xu Qi'an's heart moved, he sneered and said: "I guess there are warlocks among you to help."

The woman in the red skirt suddenly changed her color, her eyes sharpened suddenly, she looked at him again, and asked, "How do you know?"

Tang Shanjun and Zalmuha looked sideways slightly, and glanced at Xu Qi'an, as if a little surprised.

Sure enough, it's a warlock, you, Yazi, a woman who is not very smart, and you just say something casually. Xu Qi'an kept his expression on the surface, but his heart sank.

He almost had a stress disorder about the word "warlock".

The clear prison he arranged for him, the mysterious magician who seems to have implanted luck in his body, these are Xu Qi'an's heart problems.

"In this ambush, is there a warlock secretly manipulating it? Could it be the warlock who implanted luck in my body? Well, if it's him, the target should be me, not the princess.

"No, he won't attack me in the short term, because he is afraid of the monk Shenshu inside me. This can be seen from the "passing by" in the Yunzhou case.

"The protagonist of this incident is the princess, and the group of mystics are planning for the princess, and I just got into it by mistake."

Seeing that Xu Qi'an didn't answer, the woman seemed a little annoyed, with a cruel smile on her lips, and said:

"Forget it, it's just a little silver gong. When I kill you later, I'll let you breathe more."

After finishing speaking, she didn't look at Xu Qi'an, nor did she look at the faces of the members of the mission, she looked at Tang Shanjun and Zalmuha, and said sweetly: "Leave Yang Yan to you, and the rest and Chu Xianglong to me."

Zalmuha snorted, "I can handle Yang Yan by myself."

Tang Shanjun raised his head and let out a deafening roar towards the sky.

The ground in front of everyone suddenly collapsed and cracked, and the turbid underground undercurrent broke through the ground, and the turbid current swirled and rushed to the sky, forming a huge waterspout.

The waterspout was wrapped in sand and stones, and hit the missionaries.

At the beginning, it was AOE Xu Qi'an didn't panic, he bit the Confucian magic book in his mouth.

thump thump!

Yang Yan dragged his silver gun and rushed towards the waterspout, stabbing out suddenly, the tip of the gun pierced into the swirling turbid current, he let out a low voice, and picked it hard.

The waterspout collapsed in an instant, and the sky began to rain turbidly.

The moment Yang Yan smashed the waterspout, Mr. Tang Shan twisted his body, and the huge Jiao body, which was hundreds of feet long, launched a charge. On the battlefield, such a charge can easily destroy a thousand cavalry.

On the other side, there was a loud shock in the mountains and forests, and a one-foot-tall giant jumped down and rushed towards Yang Yan.

"cluck cluck"

Amidst the charming laughter, two short knives appeared in the hands of the woman in the red dress, her figure was like a ghost, and her target was also Yang Yan.

What was said just now was a cover, intentional, their target was Yang Yan, they planned to kill Yang Yan as quickly as possible, and everyone had a clear understanding in their hearts.

And because of this, I feel strong panic and fear.

"Let the arrow!"

Chen Xiao roared.

A hundred imperial guards took off their crossbows, some shot at Tang Shanjun, and some locked on the "big black bear" that flew down.

Ding ding ding arrows collided with the two fourth-rank powerhouses and broke one after another, unable to hurt them in the slightest.

But at this moment, in the crowd, Chu Xianglong suddenly picked up the princess wearing a veiled hat, and ran away from the crowd.

The bodyguards carried by Chu Xianglong tacitly picked up the rest of the maidservants, left the missionary and escaped.

Their escape routes were different, and they dispersed in a herd.

This is what Chu Xianglong has planned long ago. Once encountering an irresistible crisis, the guards will lead the maidservants to escape. In this way, even if he is caught up, the other party will get a fake princess.

The real princess is hidden among more than a dozen maidservants. Because the escape routes are different, they can only identify them one by one. As long as the real princess is not too unlucky, they can take advantage of this gap and escape far away.

At that time, if you put on a disguise and have the help of a magic weapon that shields your breath, the chances of successfully escaping are extremely high.

"Asshole!"

The Prime Minister of Dali Temple jumped and scolded angrily.

Seeing this scene, Chief Chen Butou of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was tearing his eyes apart.

If it weren't for Chu Xianglong and the others, how could the mission encounter such a crisis?

It was Chu Xianglong who made them suffer.

When the official ship was ambushed last night, the mission did not expel Chu Xianglong, and even sat down to analyze the situation, intending to shoulder the burden and share the adversity.

Unexpectedly, when the danger came, Chu Xianglong would abandon everyone without hesitation.

Treat them as cannon fodder and let them pay for their own safety.

In Chu Xianglong's heart, the more than one hundred people in the mission are all cannon fodder that can be discarded at will, and they are pawns.

In a critical moment, just throw it away and let them back it up.

"Beast!" Yu Shi was furious.

"It's dead, it's dead, what should I do?" The faces of the three civil servants were dejected.

The hundreds of forbidden soldiers were full of indignation, and they were ready to die in battle. They threw away their crossbows and drew their swords.

At this time, Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice: "Boss, you go and deal with that woman, and leave the other two to me."

"you"

Chen Butou of the Ministry of Criminal Justice just wanted to say: You are a little silver gong, how can you fight two fourth-rank alone?

But the next moment, he suddenly remembered Xu Qi'an's recent achievements, and he overwhelmed Heaven and Man with both hands.

Without hesitation, Yang Yan dragged the silver gun and ran wildly. During the process, he turned his body and swept the silver gun.

call

The barrel of the gun was slightly bent, making a shrill whistling sound.

"Ding!"

The woman in the red skirt crossed her daggers to block, blocking the sweeping silver spear.

Yang Yan let go of the gun body, sprinted a few steps, and then jumped up suddenly, making up for a knee bump.

The woman in the red dress flew upside down. During the process, she spit out poison, but Yang Yan dodged one by one. The poison landed on the ground, and even the soil was corroded.

Yang Yan held the tip of the spear, turned around, swung the spear, and struck from bottom to top.

When the gun barrel hit the woman in the red skirt on the head, making a piercing noise, her pupils instantly dilated, as if her soul had come out of her body.

Seizing the opportunity, Yang Yan stabbed hundreds of spears in a row. The attack wrapped in spear intent was like a torrential rain. The body of the woman in the red dress was covered with scales, and a string of dazzling sparks splashed from the tip of the spear.

Although she was fine for the time being, she was in excruciating pain from being stabbed by Yang Yan's gun.

"What are you doing? Come and save me." The woman in the red dress screamed, looking towards the mission.

The next moment, her expression became dull, and she suspected that she was hallucinating.

On the other side, Xu Qi'an shook his hands to shake off the ashes, stretched out his palms towards the black dragon, and said in a deep voice, "Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately."

The ferocious charge of the black flood dragon stopped in place uncontrollably, his cold vertical pupils were dazed, as if he was regretting why he was so impulsive and violent.

Flowers and plants are also life, let alone human beings.

The sound of throwing away weapons kept ringing, and on the side of the mission, the forbidden soldiers threw away their weapons in unison, showing reflection.

Could it be that people and demons can't get along well?

The Buddhist magic is poisonous. Xu Qi'an teased, his knees sank, he squatted down halfway, looked up at Zalmuha who was slaughtered from the top of the mountain, and said loudly:

"Eat me with a vajra head hammer."

With the sound of the ground cracking, he soared into the sky, like a monkey jumping into the sky.

A little bit of golden lacquer emerged between the eyebrows, and quickly swam across the body.

when!

He slammed into the arms of the "giant", causing the opponent's thick fat to tremble.

The two were separated at the touch of a touch.

At this time, the Buddhist precepts and spells passed, Tang Shanjun's eyes were no longer confused, but he did not attack, and he stared at Xu Qi'an cautiously with vertical pupils.

After landing, Zalmuha, who had an earthquake effect, looked at Xu Qi'an in surprise.

"King Kong is undefeated, a Buddhist monk?" Mr. Tang Shan uttered the words, and the flames of hatred suddenly burned in his cold pupils.

There is a big enmity between the monster clan and the Buddhist sect, and the blood feud has been bloody for generations.

"Xu, Xu Yinluo just now fought against two fourth ranks alone." Dali Temple Cheng asked in a tone of seeking confirmation.

"In Weishui, he fought alone against two fourth ranks, and he won." The two censors suddenly recalled Xu Yinluo's record, and exclaimed in surprise.

All of a sudden, I just feel that the mountains are heavy and the rivers are returning, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.

He still has Confucian spell books? ! Chen Butou of the Ministry of Punishment, his eyes stayed on the scroll that Xu Qi'an was biting in his mouth.

Chen Butou is a seventh-rank martial artist, and he knew what was going on in the Battle of Weishui. When he first learned about it, he was only jealous, jealous that Xu Qi'an had Confucian spell books.

Jealous of Xu Qi'an's fame.

Thinking that there are no Confucian magic books, Xu Qi'an is just a sixth-rank warrior, what is it in the capital where there are so many masters?

His cultivation doesn't match his reputation at all.

Jealousy of course.

But now, seeing the scroll in Xu Qi'an's mouth, Chen Butou felt a sense of solidity that could not be expressed in words.

It's good that he has such a volume.

"Xu Yinluo!"

The eyes of a hundred imperial guards lit up, looking at Xu Qi'an with a "respectful" gaze.

At this time of crisis, a leader who can stand up and turn the tide is even more beloved and worthy of following than the emperor.

Chen Xiao picked it up excitedly, waved it around, and once again ignited his fighting spirit, he shouted excitedly: "Brothers, raise your knives and fight side by side with Master Xu."

"Fight side by side with Master Xu!" Hundreds of imperial guards shouted wildly, and their ambitions were instantly high.

Terror disappeared from their faces, and fighting spirit filled their chests.

The most honorable thing for soldiers on the battlefield is to fight side by side with their beloved leader, even if they don't hesitate to shroud their bodies in horse leather.

The guards brought by the prime minister of Dali Temple and the censors, hearing the roar of the imperial guards, not only became excited, but no longer feared.

PS: After finishing the detailed outline, the thinking will gradually become clear. The coding speed is also a bit faster.
