[Sword III] Seeking Wings

Two hours ago, Mass Burial Hill Forest.

Tang Xiaoyi was quietly lurking at the bottom of the precipice of the illusion constructed by Chixiao.

From her point of view, Kuvatsam could be seen wandering on the flat ground on the top of the mountain, obviously looking for her, but if she looked down from the flat ground, it was just a narrow area that was too narrow for people to enter, and even half of the light could not be seen. into the dark abyss.

Just as Tang Xiaoyi calmly waited for Chi Xiao to come back, and at the same time watched the enemy scurry back and forth, wasting his efforts, he suddenly saw a black shadow about the size of a palm flying across the sky above the cliff.

——The mechanism bird of Tang Sect.

With her keen eyesight, she further discovered that there was another mark engraved on the organ bird.

That was the exclusive mark of her fellow apprentice, "Crossing Yang" Tang Xiaoyu.

——This mechanism bird is obviously a communication sent out by Zixia and Tang Xiaoyu, who are developing gunpowder in Tangjiabao. According to its altitude and course, the destination is the Fenghu Village stronghold of Haoqi League not far away. .

Tang Xiaoyi didn't know exactly what they were doing, but he could be sure that Neutrality was able to cooperate with the faction in missions to deal with common national thieves.

Seeing that the mechanism bird, which had trekked all the way from Bashu, was still flying normally despite being covered in rain and snow marks, she felt relieved and continued to go back to lurk.

——But at this time, Kuwatsam who was on the flat ground suddenly found it.

Seeing that the organ bird was about to leave the illusion and go deep into the forest, and it was difficult to find any traces, Kuvatsam rushed over immediately and threw stones with his hands to intercept it.

The moment the stone was about to hit the mechanism bird, a rapid crossbow/arrow barely missed it.

The next moment, several staggered arrows struck, raising a storm like a wall, completely blocking all the paths that Kuvatsam could continue to attack the machine bird.

"...Miss Tang, so you are here."

Kuvatsam was taken aback for a moment, then quickly turned his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at the sky not far away, the figure in black and red clothes was facing him, and the arrow was whistling.

A few seconds ago, the moment Kuvatsam hit a stone at the machine bird, Tang Xiaoyi opened his big wings and rushed out of the cliff head-on.

——Because when she saw Kuvatsam discovering the organ bird just now, the extremely nervous and determined expression was obviously more serious than when she had been missing for a long time.

——In the organ bird, it is obvious that there are important items that make the Spike Army deeply afraid.

It is very likely that it is more important than her, the illusion master.

Therefore, even though this was a communication handed over to the enemy camp, and she had no obligation to protect it, Tang Xiaoyi did not hesitate, and immediately gave up lurking, completely exposing herself to a powerful enemy that she could never defeat.

Fortunately, the illusion created by Chi Xiao is a flat lawn of flowers and bushes, which is very suitable for flying with wings.Although Kuvatsam shot the stones in the air at a tricky angle, Tang Xiaoyi has not been able to break through the blockade and successfully flew to a high place beyond the range of the stones, but it is enough to circle in the open and low altitude and use her superb flying skills with all her strength.

Nearly a quarter of an hour passed, and after hundreds of rounds of confrontation with the enemy, Tang Xiaoyi not only didn't get hit by a strand of hair, but gradually became familiar with the opponent's body skills and moves, and the arrows that returned were getting closer and closer to the target.

After dozens of rounds, Kuvatsam was quietly led to the dead corner on the edge of the illusion by her intentional arrow array, and was restrained by the following poisonous thorns. He was trapped in the corner for a while, and it was difficult to dodge.

Tang Xiaoyi immediately seized the opportunity, operated the thousand receivers and replaced it with the life-chasing arrow, which took a long time to use, and was only used when everything was ready and one hit would kill.

However, at this moment, the organ bird that was thought to have flown out of the illusion area appeared again in the field of vision.

Because it encountered a lot of unexpected bad weather along the way, some parts of it were over-aged, and it could no longer fly fast at this time, and it was disturbed by the strong wind aroused when the two fought against each other just now, so it has just reached the edge of the illusion.

And unfortunately, in the direction that Kuvatsam's stone can attack, it will enter his range in the next moment.

At this time, the arrow in Tang Xiaoyi's hand was already on the string, and there were only two choices.

First, continue to attack Kuwatsam, although it is enough to safely injure him, but with his tyranny, it is also enough to hit the stones to destroy the machine bird at the same time, and what is stored in it is likely to determine the success or failure of the decisive battle between Fenghua Valley and Luoyang Important items will be completely destroyed.

Second, turn to aim at the space behind the machine bird, and immediately push it out of the illusion with the arrow wind. Kuvatsam is trapped in the illusion and will no longer be able to detect its journey. ——But on the other hand, if you miss your ultimate move, you will definitely expose a huge flaw, and you will no longer be able to escape from Kuvatsam, who is about to break free from the shackles of poisonous caltrops and will be able to chase after him in a few steps.

Without any hesitation, Tang Xiaoyi chose the latter.

When the organ bird was pushed out of the illusion by the life-chasing arrow, Kuvatsam's stone whizzed at her immediately, hitting her arm that manipulated the organ's wings.

The wing of the organ splattered with blood swayed violently, and its height plummeted.

Kuwatsam immediately approached, and the swift wind of the knife swept upwards.This time, half of the wing was directly cut off.

Tang Xiaoyi fell from the sky and fell heavily on the lawn.

***

After an unknown amount of time, she finally woke up from the dizziness and wiped away the blood that flowed into her eyes. Tang Xiaoyi saw Kuvatsam sitting beside her, holding a bandage to help her wrap up the criss-crossing injuries from the fall.

"Miss Tang is awake?" Seeing this, Kuwacham turned his head and said warmly to her, "Don't worry, your flying skills are really superb, and you managed to use force to cushion you when you fell, and you only suffered some trauma, and you will recover after a while." Okay.—To be honest, I never thought that Miss Tang, as a villain in the valley, would be so desperate for the letter from the Haoqi League. Do you think those Haoqi will use the killer move in the letter to thank you? stronghold?"

"Heh, if it's at the cost of our stronghold, you gang of national thieves can be suppressed first, it's a good deal."

After confirming that he was injured and unable to fight anymore, Tang Xiaoyi calmly sat up and adjusted his breath, raised his eyebrows and looked directly at the enemy's playful eyes.

"Miss Tang is Gao Yi, I admire you." Kuwatsam was not annoyed when he heard this, and just bowed to her quite sincerely, "Sometimes when you think about it, many of you Central Plains people are indeed gentlemen. For example, your A teammate of the Haoqi League, he stopped me alone in the evening, but I would rather die than hide your tracks, lest your trump card of surprise attack on Luoyang fall into my hands. ——It’s a pity that God bless my Spike Army, I still Found you."

I thought he would provocate in a clichéd way, "Your heroic teammates are not as enlightened as you. Seeing that the strong enemy is unstoppable, they have left your strategic weapon and ran away." , raised his eyebrows subconsciously.

Kuwacham looked at her reaction, "So, you Wicked People's Valley and Haoqi League are all knights who are loyal to righteousness. They are of the same mind, so why kill each other?"

……What does it mean?

Tang Xiaoyi stared at Kuvatsam's serious eyes without pretentiousness, and did not answer.

"In order to fight for martial arts hegemony?——No, even I know that you all want to be free and unrestrained, and you want to live forever, and you have always been independent of fame and power." Kuvatsam waited for a while, and continued to guess on his own, "For the sake of the ideal Debate?——Not really. Since they are all gentlemen who care about reason, they should sit down and talk about it. How can they resort to violence like villains?

So--

After thinking about it, there is only one possibility. "

He paused for another moment before speaking:

"——It's because of the "righteousness" you are loyal to, and I don't want to see you stop making peace."

"Miss Tang, you might as well calm down and think about it." He stared at Tang Xiaoyi's wide-open eyes as if he had never thought about this angle before:

"Your imperial court even suspects loyal ministers and good generals to kill unjustly. If you see a group of Jianghu people who have several times the combat power and record of officers and soldiers, how will you feel?"

Looking at the other party with satisfaction after hearing the words, although he still had a tense and calm hostile expression, he couldn't hide the wandering eyes when he was thinking, and even pinched his sleeves subconsciously back and forth in his hands. Kuvatsam continued to analyze:

"Miss Tang, when your army mother and Cang father were in our army, they were the most resourceful and wise generals, why now that you are the commander of the camp, you are leading you to fight the war of attrition piled up with each other's corpses?

Let’s just say the nearest one, did you pass Fengye Ze on your way?To lure our army from there to Ziyuan Mountain, even you can devise more than one method, right?Can you tell me why those two professional generals of yours, who have always been friendly to each other, chose the bitter trick of sacrificing the most? "

"...Oh. I guess you're going to say next, since the imperial court is so intolerant, it's better for a good bird to choose a tree to live in, and switch to your wise and talented An Lushan, isn't it?" Waiting for her answer, Tang Xiaoyi sneered and made a contemptuous expression of disdain for such a cliché.

"Of course not." Kuvatsam recognized that although she was not trembling, she had a slightly dry voice after all, and her fingers were becoming more and more tense, and she denied it with a frank smile:

"It's because I know that Miss Tang is admirable for her loyalty and courage, so I just want you to rest in peace now, get a good sleep, and don't work too hard.

——After all, you brave warriors from the camp are actually taking up the duties that the officers and soldiers should have assumed. Your righteousness is damaged. "

Seeing Tang Xiaoyi folded his sleeves and turned his eyes, he seemed to be in a rather deliberate gesture of "don't listen to your nonsense"—meaning he finally listened to his heart, and Kuvatsam continued to persuade him sincerely—he didn't know that Chi Xiao had taken some Illusion weapon, only when the owner here is still Tang Xiaoyi, so he is trying his best to induce her to relax, so that he can easily escape from the illusion, and then completely subdue her who is no longer able to fight:

"Miss Tang, you are in the forest, so you don't know what happened outside these two days.

Recently, the troops of the camp have retreated to Ziyuan Mountain, and there is only Shence's solitary army stationed in the east of Fenghua Valley, but they rose up to attack when our reinforcements from Luoyang entered and resisted desperately, making it difficult for our army to advance even now—you see, without you With Yuezu acting as your substitute, how can your officers and soldiers be weak at all?
