Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 53 Encounter on a narrow road

Liu Yuezhi drew his sword extremely quickly. Before Zhao Wumian could react, he saw Guan Yunshu flip his hand slightly and wrap the reins of the three horses around his forearms. Then he turned over and got off the horse, stepped on the snow with his long boots, and then raised his sword to block, making a "clang" sound. Then the snow under Guan Yunshu's feet, which had been trampled by pedestrians, instantly cracked.

Liu Yuezhi raised his eyebrows slightly. There were not many warriors who could block his sword. Who was this person?

The battle situation did not give Liu Yuezhi too much time to think. While Guan Yunshu was defending for a short moment, Zhao Wumian had already drawn his sword boldly, and his speed was so fast that Liu Yuezhi did not dare to underestimate him. He followed the force of Guan Yunshu's defense and drew back his sword to block in front of him.

Seeing countless sparks bursting from the pitch-black sword, Liu Yuezhi's right hand holding the sword was trembling slightly, which surprised him a little, "What a good swordsmanship! With your martial arts skills, could you be missing a spear like Bi Bo?"

Why would a warrior like Zhao Wumian take such a huge risk to offend a prince? Just for a spear?
Zhao Wumian naturally ignored him. He just watched Guan Yunshu help him block a sword, and before the horse could run a few steps, he flew back to the saddle and grabbed Zhao Wumian's collar again.

But the people in the palace were not there to sit back and do nothing. Liu Yuezhi held Zhao Wumian back for a short while, while Qin Shuzi, You Junwu and Xuan Liu flew over here, creating a strong sense of oppression.

At the same time, if you look down from above, you can see countless figures stepping on the houses and buildings, rushing towards this place. Some of the secret guards who were secretly following Qianlima have even reached the vicinity of Qin Shuzi and others. They are obviously martial arts masters retained by the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

The palace was obviously prepared. The guards at the city gate were replaced in advance by secret guards with faster reactions. As early as the moment Zhao Wumian appeared on the roof of the tavern, they were already prepared to close the gates and seal the city. The archers on the city wall quickly came to the edge of the wall and shot arrows like rain.

However, Guan Yunshu and Zhao Wumian only managed to block a few of the fastest arrows, as the three horses had already run to the vicinity of the city gate. From this angle, the archers on the city wall could not shoot at them at all.

The tavern itself is very close to the city gate, only a hundred steps away. With the speed of a thousand-mile horse, one can run in within a breath without even running at top speed.

Liu Yuezhi snorted coldly, and with a sword he blocked the crossbow arrow that almost hit him, then he stomped his foot and shot away.

The archers on the city wall quickly stopped shooting, as if they continued shooting they would accidentally hurt their own people.

Liu Yuezhi thrust his sword forward, his target still being the thousand-mile horse… Besiege Wei to save Zhao, simple but extremely practical.

Although they had run to within ten steps of the city gate, it was about to close. Even if Zhao Wumian could break the gate by brute force, it would take time... This time was enough for Liu Yuezhi to restrain him and Guan Yunshu, or to kill Qianlima directly.

Liu Yuezhi is too strong. If they fight on horseback, the thousand-mile horse will certainly be injured. Zhao Wumian and Guan Yunshu can only abandon their horses to fight back. Otherwise, once the thousand-mile horse dies, what can they use to escape?
The two men dismounted, and everyone in the palace sneered at this, thinking that Zhao Wumian dared to rob the palace's things openly, and this was the end he would suffer.

Since the King of Jin was enfeoffed, there have been many ignorant and treacherous people who have challenged the King of Jin's authority. In the end, weren't they all beheaded and hung on the city gate? Today, there are only two more.

At this moment, a bright sword light suddenly appeared in the long queue outside the city gate. Several secret guards who were closing the gate did not notice it in time, and the speed of the sword was too fast, and a flash of blood immediately appeared in their throats.

But then a knight of the martial arts world, also wearing a straw raincoat and a straw hat, came flying over and slammed the edge of the city gate with his two palms. The city gate, which weighed several tons, made a creaking sound and opened outwards at an extremely fast speed.

It was Su Qingqi. They had already investigated before and found that the Taiyuan city gate was not controlled by any mechanism, so they only needed to disinfect the secret guards at the gate and there would be no need to worry about the city being closed.

At the same time, Su Qingqi used the sword skills she learned from the "Five Qi Classic". Obviously, she knew that the Yuehua Sword was difficult to use outside, so she had been practicing this sword hard in the inn these days. With her talent, although she was not able to master it in class, it was enough for actual combat.

But the gate was too heavy after all. Even if Su Qingqi was extremely fast, the gap that was opened could only allow three horses to file out. Liu Yuezhi was slightly startled when he saw this. The intelligence said that there were three thieves, two of whom were unknown, and one was Qi He from Huanzhen Pavilion. However, they all guessed that Huanzhen Pavilion was also misled by the disaster, and Qi He must be hiding in the bed of Empress Canghua at this moment. Therefore, they actually thought that the thieves were only Zhao Wumian and Guan Yunshu.

A horse had already passed through the city gate. The current situation did not allow Liu Yuezhi to think too much. His eyes were slightly cold, and his long sword was blocked by Zhao Wumian. Guan Yunshu stabbed him in the heart with his sword.

"Death, monster!" The only one who would yell like that was the young and inexperienced Yuankui Xuanliu who had just come down the mountain. He was the first to be kicked away by Zhao Wumian... so he was the first to get up and the first to rush to the city gate to provide support.

Guan Yunshu frowned slightly and slapped him away with his Wuchen Hand, but was delayed for a moment, giving Liu Yuezhi an opportunity. He suddenly let go of the black sword, and then smashed Zhao Wumian and Guan Yunshu with both fists like thunder.

Guan Yunshu had no choice but to put away his sword and lightly slapped Liu Yue's forearm with his palm, using softness to overcome hardness and slowly dissipating the force.

But Zhao Wumian could only use his knife to block the punch, which was so powerful that Zhao Wumian took several steps back. His back hit the city gate with a dull bang, and he felt the blood boiling in his chest. Liu Yuezhi was obviously the most powerful enemy Zhao Wumian had ever encountered since he woke up.

But after one move, another thousand-mile horse was about to rush out of the city gate. Now there were two horses, plus Bai Niangzi, which were enough for Zhao Wumian and his men to use.

According to the original plan, Guan Yunshu immediately mounted the horse and was about to retreat while holding Zhao Wumian's raincoat with one hand. Then Liu Yuezhi raised his hand to catch the black sword that had not yet hit the ground. A flash of sword light stabbed towards Zhao Wumian's throat. Guan Yunshu's pupils shrank slightly. If she continued to hold on, Zhao Wumian would be killed by her. She could only push Zhao Wumian away.

The next moment, the pitch-black sword brushed past Zhao Wumian's face, and then pierced a big hole in the thick city gate. Zhao Wumian took advantage of the situation to step on the city wall and used the force to slash at Liu Yuezhi's throat.

Liu Yuezhi's sword was still stuck in the city gate, so he could only let go of the sword in a hurry and hold the long knife with his crossed palms.

He was about to grab the sword with his bare hands, but he saw Zhao Wumian grasping the hilt of the Baishuang sword with his other hand and stabbing at him with the sword.

Liu Yuezhi had no choice but to turn around and twist his abdomen to avoid the long sword, and then Zhao Wumian kicked him hard in the heart with great force.

boom--

Liu Yuezhi's robe bulged, and then his body swayed slightly, and the floor tiles under his feet cracked on the spot. It was obvious that he was proficient in reducing force and transferred part of the force to his feet, but blood still seeped from the corners of his mouth, and he was obviously not feeling well.

But the next moment Liu Yuezhi floated back, drew out his sword with one hand, grabbed the reins of the last thousand-mile horse with the other hand, jumped on the horse, and rushed out of the city without hesitation.

Liu Yuezhi was terrifyingly calm, and his choice was undoubtedly the best solution.

Just like Zhao Wumian knew that his goal was to steal the horse, Liu Yuezhi also knew that the palace was luring the snake out of its hole in order to catch the thief... Today, whether it was Guan Yunshu or Su Qingqi who was waiting outside the city, they could not escape his grasp... As for Zhao Wumian, he didn't have a thousand-mile horse, so how could he catch up with Liu Yuezhi? What's more, there were a large number of masters in the palace who came here to chase and intercept, so it was unknown whether Zhao Wumian could step out of the city gate today.

Although they underestimated Zhao Wumian's courage and strength, Liu Yuezhi and others still had the upper hand in the overall situation.

Zhao Wumian had no horses to use next. How could he escape the encirclement of the masters of the palace with his Qinggong skills alone? As for Guan Yunshu and Su Qingqi... Liu Yuezhi didn't think they could escape his pursuit.
