Chapter 441 Jade Ring

In addition to Li Du and other bodyguards who accompanied the army, Li Yan also had five personal followers at home. They were giants in the underworld, and all of them were highly skilled in martial arts, especially the skill of combined precision strike. Later, Li Yan was After being subdued, he became a follower of Li Yan.

After following Li Yan, these five people even concealed their names. They all took Li Yan's surname, and they called themselves Li Da, Li Er, Li San... such common names.

Under Li Yan's guidance, their martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds, and they have all been promoted to the top masters in the world. With the five of them working together, even a strong person in the Transformation Realm will have a hard time killing or defeating the five of them.

When Li Yan stood at the top of the big tree, he recognized Li Si at a glance, so he didn't need to ask about the rest of the matter, and he knew that something big had really happened at home.

With Li Yan's murderous spirit, he didn't care whether the dozen or so people were really soldiers of the imperial dynasty, or whether they were disguised as enemies, he just killed them.

Hearing Li Si's few words, Li Yan's heart felt cold, but he had always been happy without showing it. Unexpectedly, today there was a rebellion in the Confucius School, and Li Da and Li San had already sacrificed their lives. Li Yan's heart was filled with sadness, which was reflected on his face. Anxious look.

Although he was anxious, how could he ignore it and let Li Si die here.

Without giving Li Si any chance to waste time, after stunning Li Si, he quickly went to the woods and put Li Si down. After carefully checking Li Si's injuries, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Li Si had no less than twenty wounds on his body, but the most serious ones were the arrow wounds on his shoulder blade and lower back, with two feather arrows stuck in them.

Li Si had never dared to pull out these two arrows before. The two arrows were armor-piercing arrows made by the military. Not only were the arrows heavy, but those who were hit by the arrows would be penetrated through the armor and directly to the internal organs.

Because of Li Si's outstanding martial arts skills, when the arrow hit him, he still used his internal strength to release most of his strength, so he did not die immediately.

Moreover, there is a circle of barbs on the tip of the armor-piercing arrow. If you pull it out with force, it will bring out a large piece of flesh and blood, which will expand the wound several times. You may bleed to death without any treatment.

Li Yan laid Li Si face down on the ground, and then tore off his clothes and soft armor from his back. Although this soft armor could not withstand heavy arrows, it was difficult to cut through it easily with an ordinary sword, but Li Yan Yan cut most of it open with just a scratch with his fingernail.

He first sealed several acupuncture points around the arrow wound on Li Si's shoulder blade, then held the bottom of the arrow shaft with his right hand, and poured in the powerful internal energy.

After the internal force reaches the arrow tip along the arrow shaft, an outward tension is generated, which slowly stretches the muscles around the arrow tip, leaving some space around the arrow tip. Fortunately, Li Si is already unconscious. Otherwise, the pain would be unbearable.

Li Yan's internal strength has reached the point where he can do whatever he wants, but he is also afraid of hurting Li Si, so even though he seems relaxed, big beads of sweat gradually ooze from his forehead. In this way, his right hand keeps focusing on his internal strength, and at the same time, he

Little by little, I pulled up the feather arrow...

After more than half a cup of tea, Li Yan briefly treated Li Si's injuries and confirmed that he was no longer in danger for the time being, and then finally tied him to a big tree to prevent him from turning into a wild beast. Food in the mouth.

Then he tied the waist knife firmly in his hand and tapped one of Li Si's large acupoints. The moment he woke up, Li Yan had quickly disappeared into the night.

Li Yan can only do so much. If Li Si is really unlucky and a wild beast comes that is good at climbing trees, and he has not recovered enough to lift a knife, then there is nothing Li Yan can do.

However, as long as Li Si can wait until dawn, Li Du's army will be waiting for him.

At noon on the second day, outside the south gate of Qingshan Pass, a figure came from afar and came closer.

Dozens of miles outside the southern city of Qingshan Pass are flat plains. This was opened by Li Yan in order to avoid being attacked and hidden by the Meng people. But now it has become a life-and-death barrier for Li Yan, leaving him exposed without any cover. In broad daylight.

He doesn't know the situation in the city, so if he is allowed to approach quietly at night, he will be very confident.

However, it had been two days since Li Si and the others broke through. An extra moment would have caused more changes. Therefore, Li Yan knew that the forced breakthrough would be exposed immediately, but he had no other way.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Yang was within three miles of the city, he was discovered by the soldiers on the city. When he got closer, he was hit by an overwhelming barrage of crossbow arrows.

This kind of crossbow is not made by manpower. It is controlled mechanically. Only four soldiers can operate a crossbow. The range can reach two miles. It is a murderous weapon. However, the accuracy is not satisfactory, but the quantity can make up for this shortcoming. .

Li Yan looked like a dragon and shouted loudly at the same time, "I am Li Yan. Who are you guarding the city for?" As he moved forward among the arrows, he would occasionally swat out with a palm, hitting the crossbow arrows that were too late to dodge. , while keeping soft and approaching.

As expected, Li Yan's loud shout caused the crossbows on the city to stop, and then he heard a loud shout from the city tower: "Shoot quickly, as long as you stay until midnight, we and others will have fame and wealth at our fingertips!"

Li Yan was shocked when he heard that voice. He was particularly familiar with the voice of Confucius School.

The last glimmer of hope was shattered. The Confucius School had taken control of the Qingshan Pass. I missed my wife and children in my heart, and it was useless to say more. My eyes were bloodshot, and the castration became even more fierce.

Just as the shouts were heard on the tower, a man emerged from the arrow stack. This man looked to be in his mid-twenties, with a white face and no beard, and a pair of eagle eyes shining with a cold luster. He was most unwilling and afraid to see him. people

, actually came here alone.

The chaos in the city has not yet subsided. The so-called defense of the city is a lie. As long as Li Yan's direct lineage in the city is not cleared, he cannot immediately send troops to the south to form an internal and external cooperation.

Kong Xiao did not expect that no matter how many years he had been operating and how many trusted soldiers he had left in many important positions, he still underestimated Li Yan's prestige.

In addition to him, Li Yan still left less than 400 defenders in the city. Two days have passed, and there are still more than 100 people resisting in the city camp. There are more heavy weapons in the camp. In two days, they died and injured thousands of people and could not break in.

He was anxious, but he did not dare to leave the city at all, so that his back would be left to others, and these soldiers could ask for help from the north. He now did not know how long he could block the news to the north.

Kong Xiao's voice fell for a long time, and more than a dozen strong crossbows were shot out, and most of the soldiers around the crossbows hesitated.

Although these soldiers had the intention to defect, Li Yan's prestige was too deep, and now he came alone like a wild horse, so they had already become panicked. For a while, they dared not work together to operate the city to shoot crossbows.

"Do you want to die?" Kong Xiao's eyes were full of murderous intent, and the long sword on his waist had already been unsheathed. Then several screams were heard on the tower.

"You have already surrendered to Meng State. If the killer enters the city, will he spare you?" Kong Xiao shouted hoarsely.

Under his coercion and intimidation, arrows and crossbows were rained out of the city again. These powerful crossbows are extremely difficult to build, so it is also difficult to store them. They will only be used recklessly when the Meng army attacks.

Afterwards, it will cost a lot of money to build them, but today they were shot out all at once.

Li Yan's body movements had reached their limit. As he approached, he was no longer relaxed. He poked or flicked the long sword in his hand, but his forward speed was still amazing.

He didn't say a word to Kong Xiao or others on the city wall. He had said what he needed to say. Those unfamiliar or familiar faces were all enemies.

Just a moment later, a thick layer of crossbow arrows were paved on the road for more than a mile, and Li Yan had reached the city gate.

All the rebels on the city wall were already scared and their hands and feet were cold. They all knew that their marshal was the bravest of the three armies, but today they really saw what it meant to be invincible. This was simply not a human.

The most feared person here was Kong Xiao. The sword in his hand was shaking constantly, and his face was getting paler, but his eyes revealed a desperate look.

Li Yan killed all the way and had already reached the city. The strong crossbows on the city wall were no longer a threat to him. What he had to be careful of were rolling logs, boulders, hot oil and the like.

<

br>  Li Yan looked up, his arms were a little sore. He seemed to be relaxed in this short mile, but those were powerful crossbows that could penetrate the stone cave mountain. His internal strength was also consumed quite a lot, but at this moment, he was still fearless.

Li Yan let out a long roar, which shook the four fields and pierced the clouds and tore the silk. Then he wanted to use his lightness skills to step on the wall.

But at this moment, a cold voice came from above, "Marshal Li, Lord Li, why are you so eager to enter the city? Come and see, what is this?"

Li Yan stopped abruptly when he heard it. He looked up with a cold face and saw half of the figure exposed in the arrow ravine. It was Kong Xiao, and he was holding something in his hand, hanging down.

The Qingshanai tower was dozens of feet high, and the thing Kong Xiao was holding was very small. If it were an ordinary person who was so far away, he would not be able to see it clearly, but Li Yan used his eyesight to see it clearly.

He was about to throw his body up, but he was hit hard and immediately froze, like a clay sculpture or wooden sculpture.

It was a jade ring, a small green jade ring, and the pattern on it was very familiar to him. It was something his wife wore around her neck.

Li Yan felt depressed. When he was about to ask, Kong Xiao above seemed to see his expression clearly, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. This killing god was not a human at all. If he really tried his best to come up, I'm afraid no one here could stop him.

Although Li Yan could not kill everyone here after he came to the city, he was definitely a target of death.

"Sir, your mansion is as solid as a rock, and your mistress is also a heroine, but in the end, she couldn't withstand my rocket attack. What a pity, what a pity, in such a huge Marshal's Mansion, I only found this jade ring.

I think its style is not something that can be owned by a noble person, so I kept it. I wonder which noble person in the mansion owns it?

Well, is it the mistress, or the two young masters and young ladies?"

Hearing the cold words from above, Li Yan's mind flashed a scorched Marshal's Mansion, the jade-like beauty, and the most precious gift given to him by God in his life, a pair of delicate children.

Pictures that he didn't want to see flashed quickly in front of his eyes.

Li Yan felt stuffy in his heart, sweet in his throat, dizzy in his head, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Then he shook his body like a mountain for a few times, and the long sword in his hand fell down weakly, his eyes were full of dead gray, and for a moment he didn't know where he was, and even leaned his body on the city wall.

Principal Kong, who was on the high wall, was overjoyed when he saw this. He turned around quickly and said, "Quick, quick, throw all the rolling logs and boulders down to me. Also, throw the hot oil in the big pot, quick, quick..."
