Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 229

Inside the spring city, when the army was reorganized and ready to go, Yun Tianbiao sent someone to call Guo Jing.

A few days ago, when Yun Tianbiao first came to Quancheng, he heard that none of the generals sent by Liu Guang to attack Liangshan could return, only one Guo Jing fled back.

In order to stimulate the rout and kill chickens to warn monkeys, Yun Tianbiao beat Guo Jing with a cane. At that time, this Taoist was carried out of the barracks, and he was also carried in today.

"Xiaodao is injured, so it's inconvenient to get up." Guo Jing lay on the soft sedan chair, groaned twice, and said, "Taiwei Yun forgive me."

Yun Tianbiao said: "I know that you have resentment in your heart, but among the people who led the army to attack Liangshan last time, you were the only one who escaped safely. If you are not dealt with, and those stupid ministers in the court hear about it, how can you Didn't you want to use your identity to attack Chen Daozi?"

Guo Jing just lowered his head and refused to speak.

Yun Tianbiao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Actually, that's not a big deal. Daozi is such a hero, so naturally he is not afraid to bear some infamy for you, but you know, the officials hate you for no reason. Once the rumors from here reach the ears of the officials, I'm afraid it won't be a mere slap in the face and can be perfunctory."

Guo Jing was moved.

He also remembered the scene when Chen Daozi wanted to introduce him to Emperor Tianming. At that time, Emperor Tianming didn't know his name, but just seeing his face, he was already furious and had a faint killing intent.

Chen Daozi saw that the opportunity was not good, so he didn't dare to mention a word of recommendation, so he hinted that Guo Jing quietly stepped down.

Guo Jing was also extremely wronged, he really didn't know where he had offended the emperor, and in the end he had to attribute it to his bad luck, maybe it was because someone had a fate and couldn't meet each other.

After many years, Guo Jing sometimes thinks of the emperor's expression, and feels a little chill in his heart. If a courtier reports the defeat of Liangshan along with his name, and the emperor finds out, he will go down. It is very possible to beheaded everywhere.

Yun Tianbiao's voice came faintly again: "Besides, I know that you are an art investment teacher. Before you studied under Chen Daozi, you had already practiced spells well. You are especially good at Li Daitao's method of hiding from form. The stick is for you. It's just a small fight."

Guo Jing stood up, paid respects to Yun Tianbiao, and said tearfully, "The general is so painstaking that the villain almost misunderstood him. I really deserve to die. Please accept the villain's three worships and repay your kindness."

Yun Tianbiao helped him, and said: "If you want to repay, you don't have to beg me, you just need to be loyal to your duty."

"The general is going to attack Liangshan today. Forgive that the eight hundred miles of Liangshan is dangerous, and there are many monsters and robbers. I'm afraid it won't take three or two days to completely conquer it."

"When the front line is stalemate, those monsters are likely to assassinate the officials of Quancheng and disturb our rear. This general will leave generals Deng Zongbi, Xin Congzhong, Shenhuo General Wei Dingguo, Shengshui General Shan Tinggui and others to coordinate defense, lest it is not complete. , you have to assist from the side and do your best!"

Guo Jing nodded again and again, and said: "The trail must exhaust one's mind and soul, and he will not hesitate to do so."

Yun Tianbiao looked relieved, stroked his long beard, took out a brocade box from his sleeve, and said, "Chen Daozi heard that you lost the Nine Suns Divine Clock, and your cultivation base is still nearly half lost, so he specially ordered me to bring three One dragon and tiger pill, when you are in an emergency, you can temporarily restore the previous magic power after taking one pill, and apply the other two pills on the eyes to cast the illusion of the third eye. You should have a good idea of ​​how to use it. .”

Guo Jing was overjoyed, took the brocade box carefully, and thanked him sincerely.

After Yun Tianbiao left the camp, he ordered all the soldiers, horses and generals, separated the front army, the middle army and the rear army, and asked Liu Yongxi, the bamboo shoot crown fairy, to drive with him and march to Liangshan together.

The army drove out of Quancheng, ran for most of the day, and gradually approached the densely forested hills from between the town and the plain.

Yun Tianbiao looked over and said to Liu Yongxi: "Real Master Liu, I see that there are dense forests on both sides of the road ahead, and there are hills and valleys undulating. The army passes by there, you must be careful everywhere, it is better to stay here for half an hour. Get enough energy before leaving, in case there are any mistakes when the time comes."

Liu Yongxi sat firmly on the horse, holding a small bonsai in his hand, and there was only one stalagmite in the bonsai. Hearing this, he said: "I will naturally listen to you for matters in the military."

Yun Tianbiao nodded, and was about to order the soldiers to rest when he suddenly heard a faint call from a distance.

A group of elite soldiers went out and escorted the yelling man back to the army to meet Yun Tianbiao.

I saw this man with handsome facial features, full of heroism, tattered armor, many blood and wet marks, holding a dead branch as a crutch, with an extremely exhausted expression, he shouted: "It's the imperial soldiers and horses. The reinforcements sent by Prefect Liu?"

Yun Tianbiao saw that he looked familiar, the broken armor was in the shape of a general of the Song Army, and asked, "Who are you, why are you shouting in the mountains in such a distressed state?"

"The last general, Shi Xiu, was ordered to attack Liangshan a few days ago. He was injured by the bandit leader and fell into the water and drifted. He didn't know day and night. He just woke up on the shore this morning."

The man stared at Yun Tianbiao twice, and said in surprise, "You, your appearance, I remembered, you are Yun Tianbiao, right? Yun Taiwei, you came just in time, hurry up, go to Quancheng to rescue you !"

Yun Tianbiao raised his thick eyebrows, and said, "Why are you talking without beginning or end? Don't panic, explain the reason."

"oops!"

In a hurry, Shi Xiu poked the dead branch on the ground twice, and said, "I woke up this morning and wanted to find a way back to Quancheng, but I was suffering from a serious injury, so I walked slowly, but in the forest I heard There was a sound of people and horses, and looking from a distance, it was the bandit leader of Liangshan, leading a group of red-clothed cavalry, complete with swords and armor, heading for Quancheng."

Yun Tianbiao was taken aback: "When did it happen? Which way did you go? How many people are there?"

Shi Xiu pointed his hand: "A little less than half an hour ago, they passed by the back of the hill. There were not many people, about a thousand riders, but the bandit leader Guan Luoyang and the demon Dao Lin Lingsu were among them."

The shock on Yun Tianbiao's face was even worse, but there was also a hint of suspicion. He looked up and down carefully at Shi Xiu.

Liu Yongxi whispered a few words in his ear, Yun Tianbiao's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted angrily.

"Shi Xiu! You are so brave. You have already taken refuge in the Liangshan grassroots, and you dare to lie in front of the official and lie about the military situation. Do you think you can hide it from the eyes of the Qingliang Dharma Realm?!"

With his shout, all the horses in the army trembled and neighed.

In the front and rear armies, the soldiers will show their murderous aura, the swords and guns will show their blades, the flags will shake, and the situation will change. The sun in the sky is blocked by the rolling dark clouds for the time being!
This kind of supernatural power can frighten tigers, leopards, and beasts to the ground, and crush the birds in the jungle, not daring to make a sound.

Shi Xiu faced this shouting question directly, but she was furious, her voice was as high as throwing gold and jade: "Yun Tianbiao, what do you mean?!"

"Although I am not talented, I must be the first to climb in every battle during the summer break. The sun and the moon are always loyal and courageous. How dare I be a traitor?"

"If you don't believe me, you will cut off my head with a knife first, but you must return to help Quancheng, otherwise, once the prefect of Quancheng and the people in the city suffer, you, a monkey-wearing green hat, will be scolded by all people in the world." , will last forever!"

Shi Xiu's voice was extremely angry, and at the end of the speech, a mouthful of blood spewed out, and she fell on her head.

Yun Tianbiao waved his hand quickly, motioning for everyone to support him.

Liu Yongxi said next to him: "What are you doing? I just told you that there is still a strong qi in this person's heart, he was seriously injured, and he walked through the gate of hell once, and it happened a few days ago. Old wounds can never be a bitter trick."

"I just want to cheat him again, so I can do everything right." Yun Tianbiao looked unhappy, "Sure enough, I was worrying too much, but this son insulted me like this in front of all the soldiers, so I have to be a little bit more serious." discipline."

Yun Tianbiao asked people not to treat Shi Xiu's wounds, and said to Liu Yongxi, "Take him back to Quancheng, if he arrives in Quancheng, if he is not dead, wake him up, so that he can understand that Yun is not so immeasurable. man of."

Immediately, someone brought a horse and tied Shi Xiu to the horse's back. Shi Xiu was unconscious, but the person who tied him was a bit rude, and a little more blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Some scouts went into the forest to investigate the direction Shi Xiu pointed to.

Liu Yongxi said: "Let me go back to aid Quancheng, you must have to go to Liangshan."

"good."

Yun Tianbiao showed a smile on his face, "The leader of the bandit is really brave. He must be riding lightly into the city to behead the leader, so that Quancheng will be in chaos and wait for an opportunity to loot, but I just want to take advantage of the fact that there are no masters in charge, and first step down Liangshan , cut off their retreat."

Liu Yongxi also laughed and said: "Poverty Dao has entangled them, and when you return to help, it will be the moment to catch a turtle in the urn."

The scouts reported that there were traces of horseshoes on the back of the hillside. Yun and Liu looked at each other and smiled, so they divided the troops.

Liu Yongxi brought 3000 people, all cavalry, and hurried back to Quancheng.

Yun Tianbiao was full of vigor, and with a wave of his horsewhip, he ordered the rest of the soldiers and horses to rush forward at full speed and head straight for Liangshan.

They walked through the mountains and forests, and after walking for about two minutes, the former army passed a mountain depression.

When the Chinese army was about to pass through, thousands of cans of gunpowder were suddenly dropped into the dense forest on both sides of the hillside.

Boom boom boom! ! !

Once those gunpowder jars touched a hard object, they burst open on the spot, the flames were blazing, the smoke and dust billowed, the sound of explosion was endless, and the poisonous smoke of steel balls sprayed out everywhere.

The mountain was more than a hundred feet long and a narrow strip of about ten feet wide was completely covered by the smoke, dust and flames. In the dense forests on both sides of the high temperature, an unknown number of branches and leaves turned yellow, curled up, and withered and flew down.

These gunpowder jars are called "Black Five Stones Perak", they were all carried by Yan Shude's army when they attacked Liangshan. made.

A single jar, which looked as big as a baby's fist, was enough to blow up two large buffaloes, charring the carcasses so that no trace of blood could be seen from the wounds.

Amidst the smoke, dust and flames, the airflow suddenly stirred violently, and the two giant arms covered with armor pushed away the dust and flames, and a bent-over Qi Luck Dharma figure slowly straightened up.

Above the Dharma image, there is still a thick smell of gunpowder smoke, and some parts of the body have been blown away, leaving only a vague puff of smoke. However, under the protection of the Dharma image, such a violent explosion only blasted the Chinese soldiers Less than 300 people died.

Suddenly, a simple Taoist sword flew across the sky, piercing the Faxiang.

There was a big hole in the huge Dharma Xiang's chest, and the loose evil energy and military power were all turned into black rain and poured down.

Thousands of figures appeared in the woods on both sides. In the process of running, the rough robes on their bodies instantly turned into a fiery red color.

Taking advantage of the turmoil caused by the gunpowder and black rain, these people condescended to overwhelm the Song army's outer defense line, entered the ranks, and cut off the front army and the rear army.

"It's hit!"

Shocked and angry, Yun Tianbiao jumped up from his horse, and the huge Dharma image in the air was swallowed up by his leaping posture.

The mighty turbid black smoke seeped in from all the gaps in the armor and battle robe on his body, penetrating into his muscles and bones.

Below, the generals brought by Yun Tianbiao have all been found by Liangshan's fierce generals, and they are all familiar people Yun Tianbiao looked at.

Lin Chong slapped his horse past, and all the generals, big and small, would be shot and fell off as soon as they saw a cold star on the tip of his spear.

Wu Song's two swords were like wheels, and he charged the fastest, leaving all the Liangshan disciples who were closely following him behind him. Wherever the figure passed, he was pushed out vertically and horizontally, and the Song army was pushed out of ravines like tidal waves.

But Yun Tianbiao glanced, and the first thing he saw was Lu Da.

Lu Da fiddled with the crescent shovel and walked in a hurry, but before the others arrived, the fierce majesty had already penetrated his body, and the horses feeding the ore in the army trembled with fright and kicked and bumped against each other.

It was difficult to reorganize the ranks of officers and soldiers, and it was Ruda who caused the most disturbance.

Yun Tianbiao strode across the sky, his figure crossing the sky, trying to climb over the mountain first and lead the front army to fight.

However, the quaint Taoist sword that pierced through his luck before turned a corner in the dense forest and flew over again.

Yun Tianbiao only cared about moving forward, he didn't seem to notice the crisis approaching his back at all.

Just when the point of Daojian's sword was less than three feet away from his back, Guan Luoyang's hand grasped the hilt of the sword...

A crescent-like glow suddenly appeared in midair.

It should have been described as a crescent moon, but the blade light is long and wide, which is really too majestic.

When such a magnificent glow appeared near the ground, the scenery of the mountains became a foil, and the sun in the sky covered by dark clouds could only be silent.

The sky is dark and the mountains are dark, only the big moon is approaching.

Guan Luoyang's horizontal sword blocked the moonlight, and his figure crashed down, hitting the side of the mountain.

Where the strength passed, all the leaves of the surrounding trees within twenty feet were instantly blown away, and the broken branches flew around. Immediately afterwards, the bare trunks also snapped apart.

With the place where Guan Luoyang landed as the center, in all directions, there are trees falling down to the periphery everywhere, revealing an open area.

Standing opposite Guan Luoyang, Yun Tianbiao dragged his knife to Ji Qinglong to turn over, and Dayue killed him with all his strength, making his aura completely overwhelm Guan Luoyang at the moment he drew the knife.

But no matter how hard he pressed the blade down, Guan Luoyang's sword across his head would no longer budge.

"Shi Xiu, the thief, has indeed taken refuge in the Liangshan grassroots."

Yun Tianbiao was righteous, "I have some doubts, if he is greedy for life and fear of death and joins the bandits, how can he use his life as a bait to use this poisonous trick? How can he not show his flaws in front of this official?"

"A brave man, angry but unchangeable, Shi Xiu is such a person. Regardless of your martial arts, how to intimidate, how can you find out Shi Xiu's true temperament?"

Guan Luoyang said, "As for why we are willing to risk our lives, it is because we are walking on the right path, our morality is as high as the heavens, and even thousands of obstacles can't break our heart."

Yun Tianbiao laughed loudly: "The grass thief is ignorant, and a man without a king or father dares to call it the right way. The official family is the son of heaven, the son of heaven, and the lord of all peoples. Worshiping the official family and becoming an official in the court is the only right way." .”

Guan Luoyang was amazed: "The treacherous ministers are in the court, the people are in dire straits, the nobles are evil gentry, and in Yurou Township, it's really strange that you can still say the word "righteous way" so boldly."

"Hmph, it is the duty of local officials to take care of the rich families in the countryside. If there is corruption in the local area, our court officials will take care of it. How the people's livelihood is is something that the emperor and courtiers can consider. What official position do you have? Meddling?"

The more Yun Tianbiao spoke, the more angry he became, his face flushed like paint, "In today's Song Dynasty, under the rule of Emperor Tianming, it was originally a peaceful world, but there are traitors like you who don't know how to sympathize with the court and obey all officials, causing many troubles. It’s because of a loyal and virtuous minister like Liu Zhifu.”

"You thief, Yaodao, you will die!"

The Spring and Autumn Broadsword rubbed against the blade, making a deafening sound.

Yun Tianbiao's face was hotter than coals, and his heart was full of anger.

Guan Luoyang's expression was colder than the blade of his sword, and he laughed.

"I'm really stupid."

Wuwei Excalibur pointed directly at the sky, as if trying to divide the clouds.

Guan Luoyang didn't say any more, and cut down with a sword.

In the eyes of this kind of person who only serves as an official and does not treat the real low-level people as human beings, if he says one more word, he will feel wronged by his own mouthpiece.

Only, kill a clean one!
