The Grandmaster Strategist

The whip shadow is flying, like a black dragon flying in the clouds, but the illusory figure can move forward and backward freely in the heavy whip shadow. Every finger and every palm is spicy and sharp, but it is natural. Qiu Yu flies more and more. Shocked. Although I had known that Evil Shadow Li Shun was very powerful in martial arts, it was only after today’s fight that I realized that this person was indeed very skilled. If the senior brother were here, I should be able to fight him. If I could withstand two hundred moves, it would be a rare feat. Those tigers The guards and guards just surrounded him. They must have great trust in the evil shadow Li Shun, so they did not interfere in the fight between them, but just to prevent themselves from escaping.

After fighting more than ten moves, Qiu Yufei was already breaking out in a cold sweat. He was secretly glad that although he had been lazy in learning martial arts in the past, he was supervised by his master and senior brother, so his martial arts was not far behind. At this moment, he heard Jiang Zhe getting angry. Qiu Yufei gave an order to capture him alive. Qiu Yufei felt a pain in his heart. He simply ignored life and death and attacked with all his strength. Although a look of hesitation flashed on the face of Evil Shadow Li Shun, his hands became much more relaxed. One was going down, the other was going up, and Qiu Yufei actually had the upper hand.

It was very difficult to succeed when he was forced to carry out an assassination. Qiu Yufei did not know whether he had the intention to die in his heart. He completely ignored the master's instructions to "wait for the opportunity" before leaving, but he knew in his heart that although he He loved the piano more than anything else, but if the Northern Han Dynasty fell and his school was robbed, he would be willing to die. Since he didn't even care about his life, why would he care about friendship and kindness? He would rather die than kill Jiang Zhe. It's so crazy. The idea gradually expanded in his heart.

After a few more exchanges, Qiu Yufei's expression suddenly became solemn, and he rushed towards Xiao Shunzi without hesitation. Xiao Shunzi greeted him with a palm, and Qiu Yufei seemed not to have seen him, and his soft whip circled towards Xiao Shunzi like a poisonous snake spitting out a message. Behind Shunzi, the front palm and back whip trapped Xiao Shunzi. Xiao Shunzi frowned. He didn't want to die together with Qiu Yufei. He turned around and avoided the whip and the wind of the palm in an instant. Qiu Yufei suddenly turned his head and opened his mouth. A blood arrow was like a stream of lightning, shooting at Xiao Shunzi's vitals. Although Xiao Shunzi's body skills were unpredictable, it was difficult to deal with it. Finally, he had entered the innate realm, and his true energy was instantly in his body. Reversal, the bloody arrow passed by, Xiao Shunzi only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, he must have been seriously injured, and the sudden reversal of Qi, even he couldn't be completely fine, he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, he The anger grew stronger, but his heart became calmer. He took advantage of the situation and struck with his palm. Qiu Yufei used the secret evil skill of the Demon Sect, the "Blue Blood Arrow", which was turned into a murderous weapon with blood, but it was extremely damaging to Xiao Shunzi's vitality. This palm was issued with anger again, and it was extremely strange. Seeing that Qiu Yufei could not avoid it, his heart trembled, and he received the palm forcefully. The icy cold energy rushed into Qiu Yufei's body unbridled, but Qiu Yufei was unable to avoid it. He used the force to fly backwards. Although blood splattered all the way on the snow in the courtyard as his figure flew back rapidly, he finally managed to escape and rushed straight towards Jiang Zhe.

Xiao Shunzi hit Qiu Yufei with his right palm, but he felt like he was hitting cotton wool with nowhere to put his force. He immediately knew something was wrong and flew after him.

I saw from a distance that in just a few dozen moves, Xiao Shunzi and "Gao Yan" were already bleeding on the spot. The fight was extremely fierce. I couldn't help but tremble in my heart. I was worried that Xiao Shunzi was no match for me, and I even regretted why I didn't kill that person earlier. "Gao Yan" was trapped by tactics. At this time, "Gao Yan" flew towards me again, and I was even more horrified. Fortunately, Hu Yanshou and others stopped him. Although none of these tiger guards were his rival, he couldn't even think of breaking through the encirclement for a moment. , and then I saw that Xiao Shunzi had also chased me. Seeing that he couldn't get away, I felt relieved. Unexpectedly, just when I breathed a sigh of relief, the handsome young man flying in the air like a goshawk suddenly turned his head and smiled at me. I saw his jade face was pale and stained with blood, and felt sad in my heart. Before I could calm down, he had already appeared again. Using his strength to fly and avoid the weapons, two gold stars flew out of his sleeves and shot towards me through the crowd. The two guards used their knives to make the call, but in vain. However, their bodies were blocked in front of the hidden weapon, and the two points of gold passed through their flesh and blood bodies and shot towards me without slowing down. I felt my legs were weak and unable to dodge. At this moment, a pale hand appeared in front of me, holding a black hairpin between my index and middle fingers.

Knock those two gold stars down. But Xiao Shunzi was very smart. When he saw Qiu Yufei being so willing to sacrifice his attack, he knew that something unexpected was going to happen. For him, my safety was naturally the most important thing, so he rushed back to me in time and used me. The black iron hairpin that forced him to stay by his side shot down the hidden weapon that chased souls and killed people. At this time, the two guards who had their bodies pierced by the hidden weapon fell to the ground, screaming in pain. They were tough men, and they were in such pain. It was obvious that the hidden weapon had done great damage to them. Blood was gurgling out, and they were helpless. stop.

Qiu Yufei saw it from a distance and his expression darkened. This hidden weapon was very vicious. It was made by Jing Wuji using a strange crystal that he accidentally obtained when he was in the desert. This kind of crystal is not afraid of water and fire, and is extremely hard. Unfortunately, it is only the size of a date stone. Jing Wuji asked skilled craftsmen to spend several years to polish this crystal into a fusiform hidden weapon with a sharp edge. As long as the internal strength is used enough, It can pass through stainless steel armor, and it can also break through the body protection of true energy. Jing Wuji only has six of these hidden weapons. He does not use hidden weapons himself, and because Qiu Yufei is weak in martial arts, he gave Qiu Yufei three self-defense weapons. They are Qiu Yufei's life-saving magic weapons. He will never use them lightly. Unexpectedly, Now that two of them came out at the same time, they were stopped by Xiao Shunzi. He couldn't help but regret that when he launched the assassination, if he had used a hidden weapon, he might have succeeded.

I shuddered deeply. The hidden weapon still had such power through the body of the guard wearing soft armor. I wondered what the consequences would be if it hit me. I leaned over and picked up the two hidden weapons from the ground. Although I didn't know their materials yet, I knew they were very precious and non-toxic. I couldn't help but feel happy. It must be that "Gao Yan" was very arrogant and didn't bother to temper poison on the hidden weapons. I said loudly: "Hidden weapons are not poisonous. Use this bottle of medicine to stop their bleeding." I took out a jade bottle from my arms and handed it to the guards next to me. They rushed to rescue the two injured guards. After a while, the bleeding stopped. Fortunately, they deliberately dodged and did not hit their vital points. Otherwise, this vicious oblique blade would have killed them on the spot.

Although this period of time was short, Qiu Yufei was trapped by the sword formation formed by six guards. These guards were all capable battlefield warriors, and their martial arts were second-rate or above. Now they do not seek merit, but only no faults. , he only felt that he was trapped in a trap, unable to extricate himself, but he was arrogant by nature. Despite this, he still gritted his teeth and fought hard. Fortunately, Xiao Shunzi seemed to be worried about Jiang Zhe's safety and did not join the battle, otherwise he would have been unable to hold on long ago. .

I also felt a little distressed in my heart. This "Gao Yan" was too vicious. I originally hoped that he would retreat in spite of the difficulties. If he wanted to escape and Xiao Shunzi let him go, he might not have a chance, but he worked so hard. Fighting to the death, it seems, can only capture him alive, and then use the reason of not being able to bear to kill him to detain him, and then let him find an opportunity to escape. Alas, nine times out of ten things in the world are not as expected.

After dozens of moves, Xiao Shunzi became a little impatient. He picked up a handful of snow from the ground, held it with both hands, and his true energy overflowed. After a while, the snow turned into ice. Xiao Shunzi rubbed his palms, and more than a dozen pieces were broken into pieces. Taking the ice, he flicked it with his fingers continuously, and the broken ice turned into an elusive hidden weapon. After a few moves, Qiu Yufei was unable to dodge, and was hit by a piece of broken ice in his numb hole. His body stagnated, and he was hit by Hu Yanshou's knife on the back. Xin fell to the ground and was immediately pinned to the ground by two guards with both hands behind his back. A guard who was good at eagle claws came forward and quickly removed the joints of his arms. Then Hu Yanshou and several guards brought him to me and forced him to kneel down. Hu Yanshou personally pulled his hair back and made him face up. I clearly saw drops of cold sweat on his forehead. His face was as pale as snow, but he refused to cry out in pain and looked indifferent.

I was thinking hard in my heart about how to let "Gao Yan" go without revealing any flaws, but I said: "Gao Yan, what is your true identity? I don't think you are the real Prince of Goryeo."

Qiu Yufei heard Jiang Zhe's question and said coldly: "I might as well say it bluntly. I am Qiu Yufei, the direct disciple of the Demon Sect. That day during the battle between Qin and Ze, I used my horn to help the Northern Han Dynasty, but I was beaten by your drum sound. Defeat, I am angry in my heart, so I come to assassinate you. The hatred between you and me is like the sea. It is useless to talk more. If you want to kill me, kill me. If you hate me for bullying you, I will bear any torture and punishment."

I sighed: "It turns out that you are a disciple of the Demon Sect. Alas, the disciples of the Demon Sect are indeed proud. Su Dingluan, the pioneer general of your country, died in Yongdu that day. Although I did not see it in person, the emperor mentioned Su Dingluan several times. The bravery of the general, Qiu Yufei, you are worthy of being a disciple of the Demon Sect. Many of the masters around me were almost assassinated by you. If you are willing to surrender to me, I think you have not caused a big disaster, so I can still forgive you. If you continue Don't blame Zhe for being ruthless if you are stubborn."

Qiu Yufei looked coldly and said: "Since you know that my disciple of the Demon Sect is proud, you should not persuade me to surrender. In the past few days, you have been kind to me and gave me your piano music as a gift. I am very grateful, but both of you Countries are at war with each other, and each is his own master. Although I don’t want to assassinate you, I have to do it. Now that I have fallen into your hands, if you still have a caring heart, please give me a happy life."

My heart moved, I hid my face and sighed: "Xuzhi, no, I should call you Yu Fei. You and I are both involuntary. I should have beheaded you and sent your head to the Northern Han Dynasty for demonstrations, but we have not met for three days." Mo Ni, I really can't bear it. I gave you the piano score and I don't want to take it back. That's all, Xiao Shunzi, you can abolish his martial arts and send him to the camp for house arrest."

Although I said this, I gave Xiao Shunzi a few winks behind my sleeves. I thought he should understand what I meant. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shunzi's face was gloomy and he didn't seem to pay attention to my winks. He walked up to Qiu Yufei, Looking at his extremely pale complexion, he slowly pointed towards his sea of ​​qi. I was shocked. If Qiu Yufei's martial arts was really ruined, how could I let him escape? But at this time, I didn't dare to stop him. If a flaw was exposed, Qiu Yufei would probably have to die. This is called How can I bear it. Xiao Shunzi's fingers had almost touched Qiu Yufei's sea of ​​​​qi, but he suddenly stopped and slowly stood up and said: "Master, this person is seriously injured. If he breaks the sea of ​​​​qi immediately, I am afraid that he will be seriously ill and die soon." , since the young master is determined to save his life, why not wait until his injury is better before taking action."

I almost breathed a sigh of relief, knowing in my heart that Xiao Shunzi still resented my adventure today, so he used such actions to scare me. He looked at Xiao Shunzi apologetically and said, "It's like this. I was in vain." Medical science has actually forgotten that you martial arts practitioners are often not as healthy as ordinary people after their true energy is broken. That's all, don't do anything for now. You can reattach his joints and take him back to the camp for house arrest. By the way, he still has servants. The maids are out there, they must be part of the assassins, you go and capture those two people and bring them back to the camp for questioning."

Qiu Yufei escaped from the threat of San Gong, and felt lucky in his heart. Even though he was proud, he did not want to offend him anymore. He thought to himself, if I can recover some skills, I have a chance to escape, so I better not to anger him for the time being. Bar. Thinking about it this way, he looked much calmer and didn't speak. He let the guards connect the joints of his arms. There was no rope for a while. The guards looked at each other. It was more convenient for them to kill people than to capture the enemy. They almost never carried them with them. With the rope, he had to tap a few of Qiu Yufei's acupoints, put him on the steps, and prepare to take him away when he goes on the road later.

At this time, the guards who went to arrest Cui Jiuzheng and Jin Zhi hurriedly walked into the courtyard. When I saw their hands were empty, I knew that they had not been caught. In fact, I didn't pay attention to those two people. I only looked at them. Koryo speaks so fluently, and I know that there is a high probability that they are really Koryo. If these two people escape, it will only be good for me. If they are captured, it doesn't matter, as long as I return to the camp safely, and Qiu Yufei They escaped smoothly on the way, and my plan had already been set up, so I didn't deliberately ask people to catch them in advance. Now it seems that they have really escaped. I just said to Zhuang Jun calmly: "Guard Zhuang, please hurry back and ask King Qi to issue a military order to apprehend those two people and Ling Duan." Zhuang Jun has been guarding me. He doesn't know the details, but he also did it when he saw me being assassinated. Breaking out in a cold sweat, he said, "Don't worry, sir. I will change my horse and go back to report to His Highness. I will definitely catch them." He already knew about Ling Duan, so he just thought of catching one more person and didn't take it to heart.

I smiled and nodded, and was about to say a few words of encouragement. After all, he had to go back immediately, which would be a bit harder. At this time, two figures suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall, one was old and the other was graceful. They were Cui Jiucheng and Jin Zhi. They screamed in unison and waved their hands. More than a dozen small black balls shot out from their hands and exploded in the air. Flames flew away, poisonous mist swirled, and golden needles flew. This was a rare gunpowder hidden weapon. In an instant, the courtyard was filled with black mist. Covered and unable to see clearly, all the guards immediately sought shelter. Fortunately, although these hidden weapons covered a wide range of areas, they were not very powerful. These guards all wore soft armor and only needed to protect their faces. However, they probably didn't want to hurt Qiu Yufei, so the hidden weapon didn't shoot towards the stone steps.

When Xiao Shunzi saw this, he led me to the stone steps and stood right next to Qiu Yufei. I was not afraid. Those two people were not very strong in martial arts. Xiao Shunzi was enough to protect me.

At this time, Qiu Yufei collapsed on the stone steps. Although he looked embarrassed, his occasionally opened eyes showed a cold light. The Demon Sect has many unique martial arts that are unknown to outsiders. Among them, there is a mental method that is the most suitable. When using it at this time, he carefully adjusted his breathing and used his internal energy to charge the acupoints. Although the acupoints were restrained, this ordinary technique was not very effective for him. When Cui Jiucheng and Jin Zhi attacked, Qiu Yufei Not caring about the possibility of being discovered, he concentrated on using his Qi. By the time the evil shadow Li Shun led Jiang Zhe to retreat not far from him, Qiu Yufei had already opened most of the acupuncture points.

Although he concealed it carefully, Xiao Shunzi's martial arts was far superior to him. Although he did not look back to check Qiu Yufei's restraints, and when he heard the difference in his breathing, he knew there was something fishy, ​​but he did not reveal his expression, and his heart He said, this person has been captured. If he was allowed to escape on the way, it would be suspicious. It would be better to take advantage of this chaotic moment to let him relieve himself. This time, he would not be willing to accept it until the assassination was successful.

From Xiao Shunzi's point of view, it would only be satisfying if he could kill Qiu Yufei, but he also knew that this person was of great importance and was an excellent counterattack piece. If he missed this person, he didn't know if Jiang Zhe would still take it lightly. When one is involved in danger, the best solution is to fulfill the young master's wish. He is a man with a quick mind, and he has come up with an idea in a blink of an eye.

At this time, Cui Jiuzheng and Jin Zhi had already jumped off the wall. Both of them had a dazzling dagger in their hands and rushed towards Qiu Yufei. Although their hidden weapons were vicious, the Tiger Guards were the most powerful in Dayong after all. Elite army, within a moment, these two people were trapped in the military formation. Xiao Shunzi deliberately stood between Qiu Yufei and Jiang Zhe, guarding against Qiu Yufei taking action against Jiang Zhe regardless of life and death.

Qiu Yufei saw that Cui and Jin were exhausted. He knew that there was no chance, and he didn't care whether Li Shun would find out. The acupuncture point. And Xiao Shunzi's reaction was just as he expected. The moment he spoke, Xiao Shunzi had already taken Jiang Zhe away from him. Qiu Yufei turned over and jumped up, kicking, and the snow flew towards Jiang and Zhe. Attack wherever Li and the others are. But he himself threw himself towards the courtyard wall.

At the same moment, Cui Jiuzheng staggered back, and the dagger in his hand was knocked away. He fell on the snow, and slashed with two horizontal knives. He rolled to avoid it, and red blood dripped. Jin Zhi screamed, and the dagger in his hand fell away. came out and shot at a guard who was about to kill Cui Jiucheng with a sword. Although the guard could not see the flying dagger, the warning sound of his colleagues came from behind him. He turned around to avoid it at all costs, and the dagger flew into the snow. , At this time, Cui Jiuzheng sat up with difficulty, his hands were shaking, and black hidden weapons were flying. The guards did not want to die with him, so they naturally avoided the smoke and poisonous needles. Cui Jiuzheng shouted in Korean: "You guys leave quickly!" Jinzhi and Qiu Yufei both heard it clearly.

At this time, Qiu Yufei had already turned over and jumped onto the courtyard wall. He was using Qinggong with all his strength and was not something that the guards could stop. What's more, most of the guards were not paying attention to him, but Li Shun was the only one who could stop him. She couldn't get away, because just when Cui Jiuzheng was shouting, Jin Zhi had already seen Qiu Yufei's actions. She threw her last hidden weapon at Jiang Zhe's position at the risk of her life. Although she was blocked by the guards and Xiao Shunzi, she also The success made Xiao Shunzi "unable" to pursue Qiu Yufei with confidence.

Just when Qiu Yufei was unconscious, Cui Jiuzheng finally fell to the ground after being stabbed several times, while Jinzhi was already defenseless. Hu Yanshou was very angry, although he had received a secret message from Xiao Shunzi, asking him not to stop him. Qiu Yu flew away, but so many guards were forced to scramble by the three of them. He was still very angry. Seeing that Cui Jiuzheng had been executed, his eyes fell on Jin Zhi who was surrounded by many guards. Jin Zhi at this moment Zhi only relied on his small body skills to dodge. He was already out of breath, his hairpin and temples were messy, and Hu Yanshou's murderous intention could not help but fade away. He said loudly: "Brothers, step aside first, Miss Jin, if you don't surrender immediately, , if we continue to resist stubbornly, we will only die."

Upon hearing his order, the guards who surrounded Jin Zhi took a step back and surrounded Jin Zhi with their eyes wide open.

Jinzhi felt weak all over, her feet gave way, and she sat down on the snow. Hu Yanshou turned to me, asking for instructions. I sighed and said loudly: "Jinzhi, you should be from Korea. Why do you want to interfere in the affairs of Zhongyuan? Now that Qiu Yufei has escaped, your mission must have been completed. Why not just let it go? You are a weak woman and you are in exile in a foreign country. I don’t want to embarrass you. As long as you tell me who is behind the scenes and who is in charge. How about I just let you go?"

Jinzhi raised his head feebly and said in Korean: "Your Highness has received a great favor from Mr. Qiu's disciples, and it is a helpless act to donate me and Mr. Cui as gifts. Your Excellency is a noble man from the Central Plains, open-minded and boundless, grievances have their heads, and debts have their owners. Please don't blame His Highness Sixth, everything is our own opinion." After saying that, black blood seeped out from the corners of the girl's mouth, her delicate body twitched, and she fell softly to the ground, her fragrance disappearing.

I was silent for a moment and said: "Xiao Shunzi, take half of the guards out to hunt Qiu Yufei and come back in two hours."

Xiao Shunzi frowned, he naturally knew what I actually wanted him to do, but if he left me here alone, he really felt uneasy. While he was hesitating, a clear Buddha's name came: "Amitabha , Li Tanyue can rest assured, I am willing to protect Lord Jiang on behalf of Tanyue for a period of time."

Looking at Master Ciyuan standing at the entrance of the courtyard and several energetic young disciples behind him, Xiao Shunzi felt relieved. Master Ciyuan's martial arts can be ranked among the top ten in Shaolin. These young disciples are also outstanding disciples of Shaolin. , with their protection, there will definitely be no problem in a short time. In fact, if they had been by Jiang Zhe's side, Qiu Yufei might not have dared to assassinate him. It was Jiang Zhe's deliberate arrangement to prevent them from showing up. There was this false alarm today.

Looking at the backs of Xiao Shunzi and the others, I thought to myself, since Qiu Yufei has successfully escaped, I must put on a good show and let Qiu Yufei bring back the poison bait I prepared. Ling Duan and Qiu Yufei will come back again Coupled with the killing situation that has already begun in Qinzhou, there is no need to worry about Long Tingfei not being able to fall into the trap. Long Tingfei, Long Tingfei, after your wings were broken, your heart was severely wounded. I wonder if you still have the courage to fight against Dayong?
