Chapter 158: Distress in the middle of the night
Yelu Ruan was shocked, but she still pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "As Mr. Lu said, I cannot escape today?"
Lu Zhicheng said truthfully: "Prince, as long as you promise your front camp army to give up attacking Jin State, Lu promises not to hurt your life."
After hearing this, Yelu Ruan smiled bitterly and did not answer.
Lu Zhicheng did not know that Yelu Ruan had a hidden secret. Although Yelu Ruan was the commander of the Khitan army in the southern expedition, all the military and political power was in the hands of Yelu Deguangde, and he was just a nominal commander.
Chamuhe and Xiao Yejin looked at each other. Chamuhe shouted loudly: "Who is surnamed Lu, how dare you threaten the prince? Even if I, Chamuhe, fight to the death, will not let your plan succeed."
Xiao Yejin was more calm. He looked at Lu Zhicheng and stepped forward and said, "Young Master Lu, our prince has always respected martial arts people. This time he went in vain to meet the heroes of the Seven Daggers of Western Shu."
When Lu Zhicheng heard the four words "Seven Knifes in Western Shu", he thought to himself: "How could Yelu Ruan recognize the Seven Knifes in Western Shu? Could it be that he has a personal relationship with Yu Hengzi? If this is true, it would be better to let him go as a favor. There may be some use of these people in the future."
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Yelu Ruan guessed something in his heart, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Young Master Lu, have you heard of the name of the Seven Daggers in Western Shu?"
Lu Zhicheng came back to his senses and bowed and said, "Prince, no one knows the Seven Swords of Western Sichuan. Senior Yu Hengzi is even more virtuous and skillful. Now that he is the leader of the martial arts world, Lu must listen to his orders."
After hearing his words, Yelu Ruan nodded thoughtfully and said, "I have read the wrong person. Yu Hengzi can indeed become a great person." He looked at Lu Zhicheng and said, "Young Master Lu, this place is not far from Cangqiong Villa. I still have important things to do, so I will not delay it here. I will regard the battle for the house as never before. Otherwise, it will be a joke if it is spread."
Lu Zhicheng didn't want to attack Yelu Ruan, but this time he saw that he had an old relationship with Yuhengzi, so he didn't dare to offend him. He immediately sent Yelu Ruan out with politeness.
Yelu Ruan and others left the inn and accelerated their pace toward Cangkong Villa. It was late at night and the mountain roads were rugged and difficult to walk. The three of them walked for several miles and arrived at a forest full of leaves.
The cold wind raged in the woods, and Yelu Ruan and the other two packed their clothes. After only a few dozen steps, they suddenly heard the sound of birds in their ears. In the middle of winter, the birds in the mountains had long disappeared, but now there were birds crying. Yelu Ruan felt abnormal and immediately signaled to Cha Muhe and Xiao Yejin to stop.
Chamuhe also noticed that the atmosphere in the woods was not good, so he quickly raised his sword and protected Yelu Ruan. Xiao Yejin walked forward a few steps and asked loudly: "Birds leave traces, and people leave traces. Who are you?"
There was a sudden silence in the woods, and only the cold wind was still howling.
Yelu Ruan was thinking about the purpose of the visitor, and then said in a straight voice: "You are following you all the way, not at the inn, but chose a place with few people. It seems that you are really far-reaching?"
Chamuhe and Xiao Yejin were stunned after hearing this, and said in unison: "I didn't expect it to be Lu Zhicheng. We misread him and thought he was a gentleman and would definitely keep his promises."
Yelu Ruan said this on purpose, trying to attract those who were ambushing here to appear. As expected, those people laughed and jumped out of the tree after hearing Yelu Ruan's words.
There were about ten of those people. They were covered with their faces and held bright weapons in their hands. The weapons looked really strange, three feet long and five inches wide, like swords but like swords but with double blades. Chamuhe and Xiao Yejin had never seen such weapons before. A chill flashed in their hearts.
The man in the leader was tall and mighty, about thirty years old. When he saw Yelu Ruan, he put away his sword and asked loudly, "Are you Yelu Ruan?"
Yelu Ruan signaled Cha Muhe to stand aside, stepped forward and said, "It's this king. Who is your lord?"
The man looked at everyone behind him, and took off his scarf and showed his true face. Yelu Ruan looked closely and found that there were no enemies from the past among those people, so he said, "Dear knights, I have never met you, why should we block our way?"
The man smiled coldly, spread the knife in his hand and said, "Yelu Ruan, Mingren does not do secret things. Let me tell you the truth. I was a great disciple of Pingshan Sect for free. This time I went to Yingzhou under the order of Master, but I didn't expect to meet you on the way. It was such a good opportunity that I just took your life."
Yelu Ruan said lightly: "It turns out that it is Daxia Bai, I'll be lucky! Since you want to kill me, why don't you attack in the inn?"
After Bai asked, he said sinisterly: "Lu Zhicheng was present at that time, and Bai thought he would get rid of you. But obviously Bai took a look. Lu Zhicheng was indecisive and missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Bai will report to all sects when he goes back this time. At that time, he, the leader of the Central Plains martial arts world, can only give up the virtuous."
Yelu Ruan said: "Hero Bai, this is a bad word. The leader of the martial arts world is chosen by various sects. Just by your words, you want to shake Master Lu's status. I'm afraid it's so easy, right?"
Bai asked and laughed: "Yelu Ruan, you have thought about him carefully. But when I take your head and repel your front camp army, the Central Plains sect will naturally fall in love with you. Bai will have to settle the position of leader."
Yelu Ruan did not expect that the struggle in the Central Plains martial arts world was so fierce. Asking for nothing, he had lost his mind. He intercepted the Khitan commander here not for the people of Jin, but for his own selfish interests. He would definitely make a desperate bet and would not give up until he achieved his goal.
Yelu Ruan knew that his death was not far away, but he still wanted to survive. He looked at the two brothers, and Chamuhe and Xiao Yejin immediately understood, holding their weapons tightly, preparing to fight each other for a desperate battle.
Bai asked about the question and looked at Yelu Ruan with disdain, and shouted, and the bladed knife jumped out of his waist. He took the weapon, his legs soared into the air, and rushed towards Yelu Ruan. When the disciples of the Pingshan Sect saw the eldest brother leading the way, they all rushed forward with big swords.
Chamuhe and Xiao Yejin, one left and one right, protected Yelu Ruan tightly. Bai asked about the flash of swords, which had broken Chamuhe's weapon, and the sword reached Yelu Ruan's chest. Chamuhe grabbed his arm, used all his strength, and lifted Bai's question several feet away.
Bai asked about the sudden force, and fought seven or eight consecutive fights in the air, and landed smoothly on the ground. He underestimated Cha Muhe's ability and almost suffered serious injuries. He remained still and his luck was adjusted.
The disciples of Pingshan Sect were frustrated when they saw the elder brother being frustrated, and they waved their swords to kill Yelu Ruan and the other two. (To be continued.)
