A knife in love

Chapter 346

Deng Yao didn't know much about Li Qiufeng's origin, but he saw Liu Yong and Li Qiufeng discussing things several times, so he knew that he was very powerful.Therefore, although he didn't really believe in Li Qiufeng's words, he didn't refute them, and ordered the beggar gang to restrain the snakes and stop expanding to the left and right.I saw the group of snakes rolling and rolling, no longer attacking the officers and soldiers on the left and right.It's just that countless snake letters "chi chi" sounded, and there was a stench that made people want to vomit everywhere.

At this time, most of the heroes had rushed out of the encirclement of officers and soldiers, and the crowd rushed westward.Although the officers and soldiers shouted and threatened on the left and right, they did not pursue the order of the general, but they did not receive orders from the general.After arriving, only Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, Zhu Sanjia and the forty or fifty high-ranking gangsters from Duanhou remained between the two teams of "Snake River".

Zhu Sanjia has been paying attention to the movements of the officers and soldiers. Although the officers and soldiers on the left and right sides are waving knives and guns, shouting and cursing, they have never approached.He felt strange and couldn't help frowning.Later, seeing that the group of heroes had already rushed out of the tight encirclement, the officers and soldiers neither opened their bows and arrows, nor followed up to cover up the killing, and he was even more confused.Li Qiufeng had already noticed that there was something strange in his expression, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhu, what's wrong?"

Zhu Sanjia looked solemn, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Young Master Li, don't you think it's strange? Everyone rushed out. It stands to reason that the officers and soldiers should chase after them. Why did they stay where they are and didn't follow up?"

Murong Danyan smiled and said: "What's so strange? He must have been frightened by the poisonous snake, so he didn't dare to chase after him..."

Zhu Sanjia didn't wait for her to finish, then shook his head and said: "Absolutely not! Girl, you are not in the army, so you don't know the rules of the barracks. If the general commanding the army has an order, there will be mountains of swords and flames in front of you, so you have to bite the bullet and rush forward." Go up. The Fifth Army Battalion is one of the three major battalions of the Beijing Army. Although it cannot be compared with the Tiger and Wolf Division of the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is also strict in military order and extremely strong in combat effectiveness. Judging from the formation of officers and soldiers, the commander of this army is very Well, not ordinary people. Just now the officers and soldiers were rushed by the snakes, although they were a little flustered, but after retreating, they no longer have to worry about the attacks of the snakes. Moreover, the snakes are protecting us, and the road opened is only a hundred feet away. The officers and soldiers can completely cross the distance of one hundred feet and attack us from a place where there are no poisonous snakes. But the officers and soldiers are gathered on the left and right sides, and there is no sign of attack. Moreover, the cavalry of the officers and soldiers has never appeared. This group of snakes is very effective against the infantry , but if the cavalry rushes up, the snake herd will be useless."

Murong Danyan still wanted to argue, but Li Qiufeng knew what Zhu Sanjia said was reasonable, so he nodded immediately and said, "Brother Zhu is right. From what you can see, what are the officers and soldiers planning?"

Zhu Sanjia pondered for a moment, and said: "I can't judge what the commander-in-chief of the officers and soldiers wants to do. But the biggest possibility is that these officers and soldiers have made a mistake in contacting the Chinese army. Maybe the commander-in-chief doesn't know what's going on here. Therefore, they were unable to issue orders, so these officers and soldiers did not dare to pursue them without authorization. You must know that if you withdraw from the garrison without authorization, you will be punished according to military discipline. Another possibility is that the officers and soldiers deliberately let us escape, and there are bigger traps waiting in front of us. with us."

When he said this, he frowned, pondered for a moment, and then continued: "However, a dozen brothers and I walked in that valley the day before yesterday, and there was nothing unusual. If the officers and soldiers set up in the valley There is an ambush, it is impossible not to leave traces."

Outside the army formation of officers and soldiers, in front of the big tent of the Chinese army.

The man in black held a long sword in his hand, pointing the tip of the sword obliquely at the ground, covering most of his face under the deep hat, and proudly said to the sergeant who was forced back by him: "Snow Mountain School's swordsmanship can be trained to your level, it can be said It’s the peak. It’s just that the founder of the Xueshan School’s martial arts is mediocre, and this set of swordsmanship has many flaws. At such a state, it is really rare to make up for the flaws in the swordsmanship one by one by yourself. It's just that the foundation of this swordsmanship is too poor, no matter how talented you are, you can't reach the realm of a first-class swordsman. It's a pity, a pity."

The sergeant heard the man in black's eloquent talk, and he recognized his martial arts family with just one move. He was shocked, and couldn't help taking a step back, saying: "Who is your Excellency? What does it have to do with my Xueshan sect?" connection?"

The man in black said: "You don't have to worry about this, I have never had anything to do with your Snow Mountain faction. But if you want to die yourself, I can help you."

The sergeant was startled, and said, "What can I do for you?"

The man in black said proudly: "You want to die yourself, and if you want to help you, I will kill you of course!"

The sergeant was furious and was about to speak, but someone sneered and said, "What a big tone! Do you know that this friend is Mr. Yi Hanmai, the head of the Snow Mountain School? If you want to kill you, an unknown junior, you must It's as easy as flipping the palm of your hand!"

Li Qiufeng was thinking about what Zhu Sanjia said, when Deng Yao waved to him and said, "We are the only ones left, let's go!"

Li Qiufeng looked up in astonishment, only to find that the heroes had rushed out of the encirclement of officers and soldiers, and only dozens of beggar gang members, Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Zhu Sanjia were left between the two teams of "Snake River".Li Qiufeng said to Zhu Sanjia: "Whether he has a trap or not, let's retreat to the valley first. If we can escape into the cave, we will not be afraid of the officers and soldiers chasing and killing us!"

Zhu Sanjia nodded, and followed Li Qiufeng to move forward.Li Qiufeng ran to Deng Yao's side and said, "Master Deng, please evacuate the brothers from your sect together."

Deng Yao shook his head, and said: "The three of you go first, let's block the snakes for a while..."

Li Qiufeng said: "Master Deng, the officers and soldiers are in chaos right now, and they don't seem to be able to pursue them. We must escape as soon as possible. Once they wake up and send a cavalry team to chase them, the snake herd will be useless."

Deng Yao thought for a while, and knew that Li Qiufeng was thinking of the Beggar Gang, so he nodded and turned his head to say hello. The dozens of Beggar Gang members formed a square formation, holding sticks, and walked along the two teams of "Snake River". The open space in between recedes to the west.Several beggar gang members who played the piccolo then retreated slowly, but the piccolo was still kept by their mouths, driving the snakes with the sound of the flute, so that the officers and soldiers did not dare to approach.

Murong Danyan, along with Li Qiufeng and Zhu Sanjia, followed Deng Yao and walked westward slowly.Seeing the snakes on both sides voicing letters to the officers and soldiers, but not retreating westward with the beggars, she felt strange, and said to Deng Yao: "Master Deng, if we escape, what will happen to these snakes? "

Deng Yao said: "The snakes stay here so that the officers and soldiers can be stopped. Otherwise, if we disperse the snakes, the officers and soldiers will surely rush up, and then they will not be able to escape even if they want to."

Murong Danyan's eyes widened, and said: "Then these snakes will all be killed by the officers and soldiers?"

Deng Yao was taken aback, and after a while, he said to Murong Danyan: "The officers and soldiers are going to kill us, so how can we make things difficult for these beasts? After we are far away, these snakes will not hear the sound of the flute, so they will not gather together Together, we must flee in all directions. Not to mention that the officers and soldiers will not be entangled with these snakes, even if they intend to kill the snakes, how will they catch thousands of snakes that have escaped all over the mountains and plains?"

Only then did Murong Danyan feel relieved, and asked curiously: "Master Deng, what are the heroes of your Beggar Clan raising these snakes for?"

Deng Yao smiled and said: "We beggars make a living by begging, but sometimes money is tight and we can't get a few pennies for a while, so we have to find another way. We are not thieves, so naturally we can't fly over the walls to do some cheap business Therefore, some seniors came up with some methods. This snake driving technique is the secret technique used by our Beggar Clan to earn money. After the snake is brought up, the snake gall can be used as medicine, and the snake skin can not only be used for medicine, but also If you sell it in a leather shop, you can sell a small snake for hundreds of pennies. Our beggars have made a lot of money by relying on these snakes for generations."

After the army formation of officers and soldiers, before the big tent of the Chinese army.

The man in black heard someone talking, but remained motionless, and said to the sergeant, "Your name is Yi Banzhen?"

The sergeant reached out and took off the domed helmet on his head, threw it on the ground casually, and said, "That's right. Your Excellency is very skilled in swordsmanship, can you tell me your name?"

The man in black sneered, and said, "I've already said that it has nothing to do with your Snow Mountain faction. You don't need to know my name."

What he said was very rude, but Yi Banzhen is so smart, he heard what the man in black said, and he didn't want to be an enemy of the Xueshan faction.Just now he made a sneak attack with his sword, and before he finished his move, the man in black suddenly counterattacked, not only failed, but almost got hurt by the opponent's sword.He knew that with his own martial arts, he was far from being an opponent to the man in black. Even if he included Sun Ze who came with him, if the two joined forces, he might not be an opponent.Since the man in black didn't want to form an enmity with the Xueshan faction, he could just use the slope to get off the donkey.Thinking of this, Yi Banzhen laughed, and said: "In this case, let's go up to the sky, each side walks, the well water does not interfere with the river water."

Yi Banzhen and Sun Ze had a good friendship, so when Zhuang Hengyun and Liu Shengzongyan dispatched troops in Shajiabao, they were sent out together.When the two arrived at the tent of the Central Army in the Fifth Army Battalion, they found that Admiral Lin Huan had been restrained.When the two went down the mountain, Zhuang Hengyun ordered the two to help Lin Huan capture the masters of the various gangs who refused to obey the order. Seeing that Lin Huan was restrained, the two discussed it, and then Yi Banzhen pretended to be a messenger to attack from the front. Since then cover up the killing.It's just that the two of them didn't expect that their opponent's martial arts skills were so high, not only did they fail, but they almost got hurt by the sword of the man in black.

However, although the plan of the two attacking back and forth did not succeed, it cannot be said that they did not get benefits.Under the attack of the two men, Lin Huan escaped from the sword of the man in black by chance.

Lin Huan has never suffered such a big loss since he was in the army.What's more, he was forced by the long sword of the man in black just now, and had to kneel down in front of all the relatives to accept the order.He has always been very strict with his subordinates, and he often teaches his soldiers to serve the country faithfully and obey the orders of their superiors.If you are facing the enemy, even if you try your best not to, you must never give in.It's just that he was forced by the situation just now and had to bow his head in public, which would be a great loss of face.So after he got out of trouble, he became angry from embarrassment and issued successive orders to his subordinates not to let the man in black and Duan Yan escape.When he saw the sergeants surrounded the two, he thought that the man in black could not fly, and then remembered that the sergeant had just come to report that the besieged heroes had used poisonous snakes to break through to the west, so he immediately said to the military officer beside him: " You pass on my general order to send out [-] cavalry to cover up and kill the rebels first, followed by the sentinels on the left and right, and must gather and annihilate the rebels, and none of them can escape!"
