Volume 10 Chapter 359

Chapter 359

Qi Heng had a profound cultivation base, and the chaotic spiritual wind he released was also extraordinary. The spiritual blades that burst out in that instant shredded the branches and twigs above his head into pieces. TXT download. -

The man in black, who was hiding in the tree, secretly said that it was amazing, and did not dare to take it head-on, so he jumped out to the side.

Crash! The man in black jumped more than five meters away before landing in midair. Looking back, he saw broken leaves and wood chips falling from the air, blocking Qi Heng's sight. Realizing that the opportunity had come, he raised the spiritual sword in his hand with a glittering glow, aimed at Qi Heng, and released a cross-cut.

In fact, he didn't need to fight Qi Heng desperately, as long as he could hold him back for a while, but as a master of spiritual martial arts, he also had a spirit of not admitting defeat in his heart.

The cross-cut released by the man in black attacked Qi Heng like lightning, and he regretted it as soon as he used this killing move. What if he really hurt Qi Heng, how would he explain it?

He was still thinking about this, but suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in the leaves and wood chips in front of him. Before he could see clearly what was going on, the cross slash he released was shattered, and the backlashing spirit blade flew towards him.

The black-clothed man's face suddenly changed. Without time to think about it, he leaned over and rolled to the side.

The spirit blade coming from the back almost brushed against his spirit armor, leaving more than ten scratches on his spirit armor. If he was half a step later, he would have been smashed into pieces by the spirit blade released by Qi Heng.

Qi Heng is indeed worthy of his reputation. I am afraid that even in front of the four great generals, he is not inferior to others! The gap in strength between the two sides is so big that the black-clothed man even lost the will to continue fighting. He uttered a long whistle, and then withdrew and disappeared into the dense forest.

As he retreated, his companions who were shocked back on the other side also retreated. When Qi Heng rushed out of the messy leaves and wood chips, the two men in black had already run away.

He snorted coldly and cursed in a low voice: "Rat is a rat, not good at fighting, but fast at running!"

He turned back and shouted: "Brothers, follow me and rush over. Anyone who can capture the robbers will be rewarded!"

"Yes!" Qi Heng was brave, and the morale of the soldiers below was naturally high. People responded in unison and followed Qi Heng to the center of the dense forest.

When they came to the open space in the center of the dense forest, there was still a fierce battle. Montaigne and four retainers were fighting with several men in black, and Meng Luo was holding a bloody head and huddled in a corner, crying bitterly.

Qi Heng saw this and grinned. It's better to come at the right time than to come early. It's time for him to make merit. If he doesn't capture the kidnappers now, when will he wait? He shouted loudly to the left and right: "Surround this place for me, don't let anyone escape!"

"Yes!" The five thousand heavy cavalrymen split into two groups in tacit understanding, and surrounded the two sides of the open space.

The black-clad men in the battle did not ignore the arrival of Qi Heng's army. The leading black-clad man let out a long whistle, calling on his companions to step up the offensive and fight quickly.

Soon, the situation on the field changed. Montaigne and the four retainers, who had been struggling to support, immediately showed a losing trend under the attack of the black-clad men. Especially Montaigne, who was hit by the opponent's fierce attack and had no power to fight back.

Just as he was secretly complaining and planning to withdraw first to avoid the sharp edge, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the woods and attacked his eyebrows.

Montaigne's face changed suddenly, and he subconsciously waved his sword to resist. He heard a clang in his ear, and a spiritual arrow swirled in the air and fell to the ground.

Not good! There are still spiritual archers in the forest! But at the moment when he was distracted, the black-clad man on the opposite side had stabbed him seven times in a row. Montaigne hurriedly gathered his mind and responded carefully. He used all his strength, but he could only take the first five swords of the opponent. The last two swords first picked up the spiritual armor on his shoulder, and then cut a big hole in his arm, almost cutting off his arm.

Montaigne screamed in pain and instinctively stepped back. At this time, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "General Meng, be careful--"

Before he could figure out what was going on, another cold arrow shot from his side. This time, Montaigne could not dodge it.

When he realized that it was not good, the spiritual arrow had already shot close to him. He heard a puff in his ear. This arrow hit the side of his neck. The spiritual arrow entered from his left neck and came out from his right neck, directly piercing his neck.

Montaigne opened his mouth, but couldn't even shout. It was as if the strength in his body was sucked dry at once. He stood there, unable to move.

The man in black on the opposite side took a quick step forward, and the magic sword in his hand drew a beautiful lightning in the air, sweeping straight in front of Montaigne.

This was the last scene he saw. The long lightning was so dazzling that it made him feel dizzy.

Crack! With a crisp breaking sound, the man in black cut off Montaigne's head with a sword. Then, without pausing for a moment, he shouted loudly to the surroundings: "Retreat!"

Before the heavy cavalry horses were about to complete the encirclement, the men in black all rushed into the dense forest. It was dark, and the forest was pitch dark. The men in black went in and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

This scene made Qi Heng completely dumbfounded. The situation on the field changed so quickly that it caught people off guard. Montaigne was almost killed in front of his eyes by a series of killing moves from the opponent, and he didn't even have a chance to rescue him.

Looking at the body lying on the ground, Qi Heng was in a daze. It was not until Munro let out a scream like a slaughtering pig and rolled and crawled towards Montaigne's body like crazy that he suddenly came to his senses.

In an instant, Qi Heng's eyebrows stood up. The kidnappers had not killed Montaigne earlier or later, but they had killed Montaigne right in front of him. It was obvious that these kidnappers were deliberately trying to embarrass themselves and send themselves a huge humiliation!

"Damn rats, you bullied me too much. Let me see where you are running? Whoa, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah," Qi Heng also fainted with anger, yelling strangely as he chased the man in black in the direction in which he was fleeing.

Until now, he hasn't noticed anything strange, and he still thinks these men in black are kidnappers. If he calms down and thinks about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that these men in black are too well-trained, and each of them has a superb spirit. Wu, how can this be achieved by ordinary kidnappers?

At this time, he went to chase the kidnapper, where could he catch him? The dense forest was dark and there were many trees. Even if the kidnappers did not escape and hid in a corner, he would not be able to find them again.

But Qi Heng was unwilling to give in. He led his cavalry and rushed around in the woods like headless flies. As a result, after working for more than half an hour, he didn't even see the shadow of the man in black.

In the end, no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to give up the search and retreat to the open space with a group of his men, sweating profusely. At this time, Munro had passed out from crying, and the four diners stood aside with their heads hanging down like defeated roosters.

Munro lost two sons overnight. No one else could bear such a heavy blow. Seeing this miserable situation, Qi Heng also lamented in his heart, sat on his horse, and secretly shook his head.

Montaigne, this man who was loyal to the emperor and the imperial court but was regarded as a thorn in Tang Yin's flesh, finally died. With Yin Rou's protection, he could escape Tang Yin's open spear, but he could not escape Tang Yin's hidden arrow. .

Even if he died, he would die at the hands of the 'kidnapper' in a confused manner, and his death would be both disgraceful and unclear.

The two brothers Montaigne and Mengchong were killed one after another, which was also a fatal blow to Munro. The old man lost his son in his later years and could not bear such a tragic blow, so he became bedridden. His position as left prime minister was already over. It was in name only, but invisibly it helped Tang Yin eliminate his biggest political enemy in the imperial court, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The next day, morning.

Gu Chen and Qi Heng reported the matter to Tang Yin in the court hall. During the report, Gu Chen had no expression on his face and was just stating a fact, while Qi Heng lost his usual arrogant attitude and kept his head hanging down, like an eggplant beaten by frost, wilted.

Regarding this matter, Tang Yin didn't know much about the inside story. He only knew that although he left the matter to An Jian, it was Gu Chen who was actually planning it behind the scenes. Qi Heng's involvement must have been Gu Chen's idea. After thinking about it carefully, he understood why Gu Chen wanted to bring Qi Heng in. Now that Gu Chen has already done this, he shouldn't waste his thoughts. Tang Yin deliberately showed displeasure, looked at Qi Heng, and asked: "General Qi, was General Meng killed by the robbers in front of your eyes?"

It's hard to say, but it's true.

Qi Heng lowered his head and blushed. If there was a crack in the ground now, he could get in without hesitation. He continued to hang his head and said in a voice so low that even he could hardly hear it: "Yes...yes..."

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and said: "A few robbers were able to kill General Meng in front of your General Qi, and then all escaped unharmed. Do you think I, the king, should believe what you say?"

thump! Qi Heng's legs went weak, he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this general is indeed careless and allowed the robbers to take advantage of it. Please punish me, your Majesty, and make me accept my punishment!"

"Alas!" Tang Yin sighed heavily and said, "I can't blame you entirely. Come to think of it, the robber's spiritual martial arts must also be very powerful." After a pause, he said again: "Qi Heng, you should be here now. Understand, at the critical moment, no matter how powerful you are, your power is limited and it is difficult to change the overall situation. You should learn a lesson this time and don't be arrogant again. Fortunately, you only encountered a few thieves this time. You made the mistake of underestimating the enemy on the battlefield, how can you survive now?”

Qi Heng's heart was shaken and he responded hurriedly: "Your Majesty taught you a very good lesson. I will obey your teachings carefully and will never do it again!"

"Remember what you said today! It is human nature to be young and frivolous when you are young, but now that you are the commander-in-chief of an army, your life is no longer yours alone, but belongs to the entire army of one hundred thousand soldiers. " Tang Yin said sharply: "If you make the mistake today again in the future, you, the commander-in-chief, don't have to do it again."
