Chapter 183 Plum Blossom Lancet
It's not just because Ximen Yong is Ximen Kankan's father, he can't just sit back and watch.
He will register for the Taiyi Sect's registered disciples at the end of the year. If Ximen Yong gets into trouble in this ambush, won't he have to ask someone else to register?
Even if he wants to ask someone else, will there be someone who can lobby his father to help him like Ximen Kankan did?
Even if they are willing to help, their father-son relationship must be good enough. He heard that Jiang Qingyu and his father Jiang Heng have a very tense relationship.
All these factors prompted Duan Rong to finally decide to intervene in this matter.
Of course, more importantly, Duan Rong analyzed the strength comparison of both sides in detail in the carriage.
With his current third level of internal breath and the realm of great success in swordsmanship, plus his plum blossom needle technique and cloud snake step, once he suddenly intervenes in the battle in secret, Duan Rong feels that there is a high probability that he will reverse the outcome of the battle.
And the last item is the most critical point in Duan Rong's decision.
One's own strength is the basis of everything.
Duan Rong returned to Liulu and stood in the same posture until midnight before going to sleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, Duan Rong came to a weapons shop on West Street.
This weapons shop on West Street is the largest weapons shop in Xiangu County.
In general, blacksmith shops can make hoes, shovels and some ordinary weapons, but this weapons shop has already become large-scale, with more than 20 to 30 mature blacksmiths in the shop.
Several major forces in the county, including the government, place expensive orders in this shop every year.
Jiuzhou is martial, and many lucrative industries have been developed around this word.
The business of weapons is naturally one of them.
Duan Rong came to this weapons shop to buy some weapons such as darts or flying knives.
After all, unless it is a matter of life and death, it is better not to use his plum blossom needle indiscriminately in the future.
In the case of Xie Lei, Xie Daohan even dug out the poison of corpse decay, not to mention the flying needles. Although he picked up the flying needles at the scene, the truly powerful people might still be able to guess what he used at the time from the clues.
Duan Rong wandered around the darts stall in the weapon shop for a long time before finally choosing the scimitar.
This scimitar used as a dart is only one-third the size of a javelin, and is only about one circle larger than a real willow leaf.
This knife is small in shape, but of moderate thickness, and does not appear thin.
After repeated selection, Duan Rong believes that this flying knife is currently the most suitable for him and feels the best.
A big shop is a big shop. Although the price is a little expensive, the service is good and the accessories are complete.
As long as you buy forty scimitars, you will get a knife bag.
The knife bag is like a belt, with openings inside and outside, and both sides can hold scimitars. There are twenty scimitars in the inner layer and twenty scimitars in the outer layer, which are placed in a staggered manner, just forty scimitars.
When Duan Rong walked out of the weapon shop, he had a knife bag wrapped around his waist.
Duan Rong returned to the willow hut and closed the gate. He stood in the courtyard and suddenly his figure flashed...
He walked through the courtyard and gradually left a shadow behind him...
Duan Rong leaped or tilted, turned or stepped sideways, his figure was as fast as a ghost, and as his figure flashed, the shadows of plum blossoms began to bloom in his hands...
One by one, the scimitars shot out from the shadows of plum blossoms, and the slight and almost inaudible sound of breaking through the air... was like a bubble bursting in the water... The inaudible sound of "puff" was a whisper between all things in nature, not a sound that could be heard by human ears.
After Duan Rong achieved the third level of inner breath, the flying knife technique became more ghostly. There was no short whistling sound, but just a quiet sound like a bursting bubble. It was like a silent ghost that was killing people...
As the flying knife passed by, willow leaves fell from the treetops, and were nailed to the tree trunk by the flying knife behind...
Duan Rong shot all the flying knives in the knife bag in one breath. He shot quite smoothly.
After all, this willow leaf knife was made by the weapon shop. As the saying goes, every profession has its own specialty. There are anti-slip lines on the tail of the willow leaf knife, and it is obviously polished. It is not only beautiful, but also very comfortable to the touch.
It is really not comparable to embroidery needles.
However, the flying needle is thin and almost invisible. Among the hidden weapons, it is the most secretive and insidious, killing people silently.
In the weapon shop, Duan Rong did not see any hidden weapons of the flying needle type.
"Perhaps the forging technology in this world cannot forge anti-slip lines on the tail of something as delicate as a flying needle." Duan Rong wiped the sweat from his forehead and speculated with a twinkling look.
Then Duan Rong flashed and took back all the scimitars stuck in the willow tree.
After that, Duan Rong practiced a few more times until he felt very proficient, and then he put away the knife bag.
After practicing the flying knife, Duan Rong made some preparations, and then rented a horse from the car shop and rode out of the East Gate. The Black Tiger Hill was still some distance away from Xiangu County. Duan Rong started galloping in the morning. When dusk fell in the mountains, Duan Rong estimated that he was still five or six miles away from the Black Tiger Hill.
When he escorted the escort to Ruyang Prefecture, he would pass by the Black Tiger Hill, because Duan Rong was quite familiar with the distance.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, Duan Rong found a wild field on the side of the road to tie up the red chestnut horse that had been running and foaming at the mouth.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Then Duan Rong took out his nightgown from the package behind him and put it on. He then covered his mouth and nose with a piece of black cloth, folded the clothes he had changed and put them into the package, then jumped up like a monkey climbing a tree, and tied the package to the top of a birch tree next to him.
Duan Rong stepped on the birch tree, and the whole person jumped out, like a willow leaf flying down the treetop in the wind, floating to the ground.
Duan Rong then used his body shape, like a ghost, to leap up in the mountains and fields, and used his mastery-level cloud snake step with all his strength, and his speed was much faster than the red horse that was foaming at the mouth and was already at the end of its strength.
In about an incense stick of time, Duan Rong had reached the Black Tiger Hill.
At this time, the night had surged up, and the hill was dark, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Duan Rong just reached the edge of the Black Tiger Hill and slowed down his pace, and at the same time, his consciousness suddenly released.
The released spiritual sense immediately covered the area of 100 meters around him.
Duan Rong hid in the woods beside the official road, moving slowly to prevent himself from making any sound.
After Duan Rong walked for a distance, his spiritual sense suddenly swept over two people, who were tying a thick hemp rope full of caltrops to the tree beside him.
The two people were also wearing black clothes, and they were 100 meters away from him.
The moment Duan Rong swept over the two people, he immediately stopped.
Although he was in the dark forest now, he released his spiritual sense at this moment, and then used the plum blossom willow blade to ask for life, which could be said to be invincible.
However, Duan Rong also knew that among these people, Huang Gaozu might have arrived.
If he asked for life in the dark night, he might expose his position. Huang Gaozu was also very good at light work. Once he was locked by him, he would be in trouble.
The best plan was to hide here and wait for Ximen Yong and his party to arrive secretly.
At that time, when Huang Gaozu and Yuan Shouzhi came into contact, it would be the time for him to attack.
Duan Rong paused and hid in the crown of a lush tree next to him. The moment he hid, he retracted his consciousness.
His soul would not be able to bear the long-term release of consciousness.
He had to retract his consciousness at this time and nourish his soul. When he attacked, he would also use the release of consciousness to cooperate with the Cloud Snake Step and the Plum Blossom Willow Leaf Knife.
