heart pole

Ling Jiu stood in the southeast camp outside Jiangzhou City, looking at the sky-blue fireworks rising to the sky in the west, feeling a little puzzled.

What followed was that the fire on the city wall soared into the sky in an instant, and thousands of torches illuminated the upper and lower parts of the city in the night.

"It's a fire plan! Soldiers, be careful!" Ling Jiu's sharp eyes swept across the city wall, realizing the purpose of the Tang army. "The front team, the rear team, the left and right wings, all disperse! The central army withdraws from the middle and supports other formations!"

"Shua, Shua, Shua!" Countless arrows hung with the evil wind, penetrated the cold night, and directly hit the southeast Turkic camp outside the city.

"These three big camps outside the city were built so close to the city wall, which is totally against the law of war. I think the location of this camp was calculated by Young Master Yan Shishi, and I was careless." Ling Jiu frowned, and pulled out the Mirror Shadow Sword , a faint light suddenly appeared, and the arrow feathers scattered and fell, but the flying arrows were like rain, continuously.

A powerful crossbow broke through her sword strokes and tore her cuff, which made her slightly surprised and retreated again and again. "The arrow rain here seems to be far denser than that in the other two directions. Moreover, it is also a mixed arrow rain of bed crossbows and longbows."

She looked around at the situation of soldiers and horses. Although she was a bit confused, she was gradually able to cope with the attack. "But, why don't they use fire attack?" A cloud of doubts flashed in her mind.

In mid-air, there seemed to be a cluster of snowflakes being blown away by the strong wind, flakes of ice and snow, like thousands of trees and pear blossoms, white as petals, scattered like chrysanthemums.

Amongst the white snow, Tranquility is wearing a white toga, with a long silver sword on his back, his eyes are like blue ice in the white night, and his expression is like still water under the deep abyss.

When he came walking, he whispered in his mouth: "The calm wind blows through the window, the mountains of Shu are continuous, and the frost is flying in February. The yellow springs sing, the white bamboos wander, and the nine secluded wander."

Ling Jiu turned to the beautiful figure in the red dress, and smiled at the visitor in white, "So it's Mr. Ning. Although we met once before, we couldn't sit down and have a good chat. Now it's all right, come here uninvited."

After speaking, hundreds of Turkic soldiers poured out from left and right, surrounding Ning Jingyuan.

"General Ling." Tranquility looked calmly at the woman in red ten steps away, "I came here just to confirm one thing."

"You don't need to ask any more." Ling Jiu pressed his sword and smiled evilly, "Luo Xing is the person I sent. Attacking you, attacking your master, and attacking Yan Shiyi were all ordered by me."

"I want to ask, why? The border has been safe and sound for more than ten years." Ning Jingyuan still hadn't drawn his sword, his eyes were cold, and he looked at the thousands of troops calmly.

"Only the Tang Empire is safe and sound, not the Turks!" Ling Jiu withdrew his original evil look and became a little annoyed, "19 years ago, Yan Qingchi was defeated in Youdieling by 800 elite members of the Yan family. Jili Khan has an army of [-]. After Jili's death, the Turks were torn apart, and all the tribes attacked each other. And at this moment, I am trying to restore the glory of my Turks!"

"En." Tranquility nodded, and slowly placed his right hand on the handle of the sword behind him, as if he didn't intend to ask any more questions.

"Then." Ling Jiu turned over the long sword in his hand, and a quiet and distant white figure was reflected in the hexagonal mirror in the center of the sword's jaw.

"I have a problem." Sky blue fireworks flashed in the night sky, Cheng Tianya glanced at Li Qingzhou who was leaving quickly, then turned to look at Yan Lingxi, "Why were you deliberately arrested before? You didn't let us rescue you."

"Ah." Yan Lingxi put away the folding fan and stood up. "Even if you don't know all about the organs of the Ministry of Black Industry, you should know that there are organs in the tunnel that can kill all those who enter."

"Then why didn't you use it just now! Why do you need to clean up the miscellaneous soldiers." Cheng Tianya raised his hand and grabbed Yan Lingxi's shoulder.

"That's it." Ye Fengting stood up leisurely and patted Cheng Tianya's shoulder. "I think there are constraints between these institutions. Once the inner mechanism is opened, it will affect the outer wall mechanism. Therefore, it is safest to enter the tunnel for cleaning. This will also ensure that no Turks can tamper with the mechanism."

Cheng Tianya let go of his hand and looked coldly, "Hmph. If you follow your plan: take Ling Jiu and the others into the tunnel, once the trap is opened, you will be buried with him."

Yan Lingxi poked Cheng Tianya's chest with the handle of the fan, "Oh, oh, Tianya, you are so anxious to deduce. Although I have mentioned the attack and kill mechanism, if the tunnel is also an attack and kill mechanism, then why am I being captured?" Arrange retreat afterwards?" Cheng Tianya frowned, slightly puzzled, while Yan Lingxi smiled, "This tunnel is built according to the arrangement of Qimen Dunjia, and the mechanism I mentioned can only change the positions of 28 passages , turning this tunnel into a maze of death, starving to death is considered killing. It is not difficult to leave a passage for me to escape. It's just..."

"Just what?" Cheng Tianya asked.

"It's just that the Eleventh Young Master discovered a problem later." Ye Fengting smiled elegantly, and took over the conversation, "There is a master thief in the Turkic Army. With him, it may not be impossible to see through the labyrinth."

"That's right, Suoguan Jiuxing. So this time, thanks to Brother Ye, I corrected this young master's plan in time." Yan Lingxi smiled sincerely.

"Saving the Eleventh Young Master is what Ye should do." Ye Fengting smiled modestly, and then said: "Or should the Eleventh Young Master agree with him?"

"Yes, it should be taken for granted. Even if there is no brother Ye, it is only natural for me to save myself and escape, but I just gave you a chance to show off." Yan Lingxi shook the folding fan in his hand, and his smile did not change.

"Promise with your body?" After hearing this, Cheng Tianya immediately turned to Ye Fengting and glared.

"Well, what's the matter?" Ye Fengting naturally responded in a gentle manner.

"This second hall," Cheng Tianya looked around coldly for a week, "Is there any wine?"

"Ask, I'm listening." Ning Jingyuan still stood calmly, the hem of her snow-white clothes fluttering slightly in the night wind.

"You who followed Master for ten years in Shushan retreat, why did you come out suddenly?" Ling Jiu's hair swayed in the wind.

"Why not go down the mountain to practice?"

"When you first enter the rivers and lakes, you will become the target of public criticism. Ning Shaoxia, you seem to want to reach the sky in one step."

"Ascension to the sky?" An intentional or unintentional smile appeared on the corner of Ning Jingyuan's mouth, and he held the handle of the sword, "Bang!" The snow-white long sword was suddenly unsheathed, and the sword sound echoed back and forth in the wind, endlessly, "Experienced!" In the end, it’s all about reaching the sky.”

"you……"

"I want to ascend to the sky of the sword." Ning Jingyuan held the sword with both hands, and the blood-colored cold air penetrated the entire long sword through the left palm, "I beg the ninth sword heart-Xinji."

"Jianyi, Luoxue."

"Heh. Just relying on Jian Yi, you want to fight against my Turkic army alone?" Ling Jiu sneered, but the smile froze immediately.

"Sword One, Luoxue. Two Frozen Clouds, Three Ice Thunders, and Four Frozen Skys." Ning Jingyuan actually read out four sword moves at the same time, and then the white sword pierced the ground, and the frosty air spread as the blade penetrated into the ground. The surging tide was suddenly white, and countless dense white ice thorns sprung up like bamboo shoots after rain, piercing the soles of Turkic people's boots and bodies.

The Turkic camp suddenly became chaotic, one escaped, and ten more sprang out. Even the battle-tested horses hesitated to move forward. Countless Turkic soldiers were blocked by ground thorns, and they were in a dilemma.

At this time, there was another rain of arrows on the southeast city wall, and the chaotic Turkic people were difficult to defend, and they fell down one after another.

"Bang!" The long swords of Ning Jingyuan and Ling Jiu crossed each other, and the two fought over a tent. The cold air coated the hexagonal mirror on Ling Jiu's sword with silver, and lost the original brilliance of the mirror.

"Even if your ice swordsmanship can mess up my camp, even if the camp is built within the range of the crossbow on the city, as long as I don't die, the army will not be chaotic, let alone lead to defeat!" Ling Jiu slashed across with his sword, It struck Ning Jingyuan's face, and the latter raised his sword to block it. The heavy blow caused the pain of the injury to intensify, causing his brows to frown.

"So, add one more person, will you die or not?"

Suddenly, a calm voice floated above the camp, followed by a streak of crimson.

"The Seventh Moon Sword, Star Burning!"

Suddenly, a crimson meteor bloomed on the edge of the dark night sky, falling from the sky.Unbiased, Ling Jiu was hit by the scarlet sword shadow, and the roof of the tent he was standing on suddenly opened a big hole, and he fell into it together with the attacker.

"It's you." Ling Jiu's eyes showed surprise.

"You don't have to be so surprised to see me." Li Qingzhou smiled elegantly, and swung the scarlet sword in his hand again, "Ah!" Ling Jiu was bounced back by the heavy blow and hit the wall of the camp. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he had already suffered internal injuries. .

Ning Jingyuan's white figure then jumped down from the gap, and the blood oozing from under his left shoulder stained the white clothes red. "Kill her." With his back to Li Qingzhou, he stepped forward step by step, saying as he walked.

"You'd better have a good rest, Brother Ning, I'll let you take care of this trivial matter." Li Qingzhou raised his hand and pulled Ning Yuan, and raised Chi Yuan's long sword with his left palm, a burst of fiery sword energy rushed straight towards Ling Jiu and go.

"Boom!" However, another gray shadow came from the door of the tent, with two knives crisscrossed, striking out the sword energy.

"Why are you here!" Ling Jiu yelled at the person in front of him.

"The coach is in trouble, why can't I come?" Luo Xing glanced at her sideways.

"You're leaving your post without authorization! The attack on the city is fierce, you're here, what about the Southwest Camp! Cough cough!" Ling Jiu's shouting made the wounded body even more uncomfortable, and he couldn't help coughing up blood.

"Countless rockets were fired from the tower, and the northwest and southwest camps were on fire. The soldiers and horses were in disarray. The Tang army counterattacked, and the northwest and southwest camps have fallen. Suoguan Jiuxing has assembled the remaining soldiers and horses. I am here to support your withdrawal. "Luo Xing's swords were in front of him, facing Ning Jingyuan and Li Qingzhou.

"What! Cough cough...! The southwest and northwest have already..." Although Ling Jiu was surprised, she no longer found it unexpected. Her eyes dimmed, "Withdraw? Where can I withdraw? This is the last army, the purpose If it is not achieved, the Khan will soon surrender to the Western Turks, and he will be homeless by then."

"When did you become so depressed!" Luo Xing yelled, "Suoguan Jiuxing said that he found something that turned defeat into victory. Now we just need to retreat."

"What, did you find it?" Ling Jiu was taken aback.

"Master Eleven, you said that there are 28 entrances and exits, but we don't seem to have gone through all of them. How can we ensure that there are no Turks left in the secret passage?" Ye Fengting watched Cheng Tianya and Yan Lingxi go up and down, in the second hall Turn inside to find the wine jar.

"Ah? Oh." Yan Lingxi hesitated for a moment, "Did I say to clean them up?"

"Yes." Cheng Tianya took out a large jar of wine from a wooden cabinet and said.

"Brother Ye, do you think I can get rid of the entire Turkic?" Yan Lingxi took a small jar of wine and turned back to put it in front of the table.

Ye Fengting covered the small jar of wine with his hands, and thought for a while, "Ye certainly believes it."

Cheng Tianya smacked his lips after drinking two gulps of wine, "Is there anything else you can't figure out?"

Yan Lingxi raised his eyebrows, "Brother Ye is so sure, I think I have plans."

Ye Fengting smiled modestly, "Ye's humble opinion is not worth mentioning."

Yan Lingxi also raised his hand to cover the wine cork, and said with a smile: "Then why not write it down together, and open this jar of wine again, how about?"
