The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 436 He's Enmity Against My Hero
Half a month after Nangong Pushe joined the Hualong Gang, the clones Zheng Zha and Luoli had arrived in Beiliang.

The young couple strolled leisurely in the courtyard, walking leisurely on the wilderness path, oblivious to the spying eyes.

At this time, Zheng Zha was wearing a gorgeous white cloak, a Beiliang knife was slung around his waist, and his long hair was meticulously tied in a bun on the top of his head, which looked a bit extravagant.

Luoli was wearing a pink double-breasted skirt, with a fairy bun on her hair, and a pretty face that could be broken by blows, not inferior to any aboriginal beauties.

She didn't carry a weapon on her body, but a silk bundle on her shoulder.

The Beiliang Knife was a genuine licensed knife that the two of them got from the Beiliang Army guarding Daomaguan when they passed by Daomaguan, that is, as a decoration.

Daomaguan Zhechong's deputy lieutenant Zhou Xian and his son Zhou Ziru have already become the puppets of the Zhongzhou team, so it's not a problem if they just use the Beiliang knife.

The clone Zheng Zha's exclusive weapon is the Tiger Soul Saber made by Chi You, and it is a perfect version completely controlled by him.

This knife is hidden in his body, and it is nourished by his true essence and soul day and night. When it is needed, it can be sacrificed out of thin air, and there is no need to carry it with it.

After the two had walked a certain distance, two ragged and unkempt beggars suddenly appeared in the grass they had just passed.

Looking at Zheng Zha's back, one of the beggars said to the other: "Maybe this guy is Xu Fengnian they are looking for. Hurry up and inform those masters nearby. If it is really Xu Fengnian, we can receive the reward."

"Okay, I'll go right away, you keep an eye on it."

……

At a fork in the road with a big dead tree, Zheng Zha and Luo Li took a break here to eat some dry food.

Not long after they sat down, a skinny old horse with some sundries on its back came out of the grass and stood on the other side of the dead tree.

Zheng Zha and Luo Li looked at each other and smiled, ignoring the old horse, and just ate dry food on their own.

And on the small road in the northeast direction, there is an old man and a young man walking towards this side.

The old one had gray hair, ragged clothes, sloppy face, and a simple and honest face. He carried a long strip-shaped luggage on his back, wrapped in rags, and looked like an old country farmer.

The young one was unkempt and dressed in hemp clothes from the market. He could compete with the refugees and beggars fleeing famine, but it could be vaguely seen that his appearance was very upright.

At this time, the young man said complacently: "Those Chu soldiers also know how to bribe beggars and spread eyeliner widely. Fortunately, young master, I am smart."

"Yes, yes, the young master is the smartest." The old man echoed absent-mindedly, but his head was looking around.

The young master asked in confusion: "Old Huang, what are you looking at?"

The old man known as Lao Huang scratched his chin and said, "Master, our horse, according to the usual practice, it should come back by itself at this moment."

The young master rolled his eyes, curled his lips and said, "That broken horse is elusive, what do you care about it? Hurry up and go back to Lingzhou as soon as possible."

While talking, the two walked to a corner, looking out from here, it happened to be the intersection where the dead tree was.

The young master paused, pointed to the front and said, "Hey Lao Huang, do you think that is our horse?"

Lao Huang looked in the direction of his finger, and saw their old horse standing quietly under a dead tree.

On the other side of the dead tree, there were two figures, a man and a woman, who seemed to be eating.

Lao Huang's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "It's true."

The young master grinned and said: "This guy, he ran ahead of us."

The two quickened their pace and ran forward, when they passed a big rock, a person suddenly jumped out from the bushes nearby, covered the young master's mouth, and squatted him behind the big rock.

Then he waved to Lao Huang who was stunned on the spot: "Squat down, squat down quickly."

"Oh." Lao Huang recognized that the man was one of the soldiers of Chu, and he didn't dare to neglect him immediately, and quickly squatted behind the boulder.

At this time, the young master was full of bewilderment, staring at the Chu soldier with wide eyes, his mind was a little confused, and he thought his identity had been leaked.

The Chu soldier raised a finger and gave a "shh", then said softly, "Don't speak loudly, Xu Fengnian."

The young master's eyes were fixed, his neck was stiff and he slowly turned to Chu Bing, his heart felt chilled.

Was it really exposed?How did you expose it?
But when he met the Chu soldier, he found that things didn't seem to be what he thought, and the Chu soldier nodded to him with a full face.

Xu Fengnian came back to his senses, he pointed behind him and said, "You mean, the one sitting under the tree over there eating is Xu Fengnian?"

The Chu soldier nodded heavily again, and said in a clear and orderly manner: "Brocade clothes and fine clothes, with a northern saber hanging from his waist, and suitable age, we are also going to Lingzhou."

"Furthermore, it is rumored that Xu Fengnian is lustful, and he is accompanied by beauties wherever he goes, so that guy is probably Xu Fengnian."

After listening to Chu Bing's analysis, Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang looked at each other, then gave Chu Bing a thumbs-up, and said, "It makes sense."

Chu Bing said: "Go and inform the adults, we will watch here."

Xu Fengnian nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay."

After Chu Bing finished his explanation, he burrowed into the grass again, and ran along the grass to the dead tree.

After Chu Bing left, Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang reappeared from behind the boulder and looked at Zheng Zha and Luo Li over there. Naturally, they would not really inform the Chu Bing leader.

After a while, Zheng Zha and Luo Li seemed to have finished their dry food and got up to continue their journey.

Those Chu soldiers who were staring at them couldn't squat anymore. They drew out their weapons one after another, emerged from the grass, and surrounded the two of them.

Seeing this situation, Lao Huang asked, "Master, what should we do now?"

Xu Fengnian's eyes flickered slightly, he tilted his head and said, "Slip."

Lao Huang looked at Zheng Zha and Luo Li and asked, "Then what should they do?"

Xu Fengnian frowned and said, "He's not me. If you make it clear, you'll be fine. Let's go quickly."

"Hey, young master..." Lao Huang stopped Xu Fengnian and said, "Don't rush away, it will be good for you to learn martial arts."

Xu Fengnian flicked his sleeves and said, "I'm not interested in fighting."

After speaking, he turned his head and left, but after a few steps, he paused again, turned around and walked back to the boulder, and looked there intently.

Zheng Zha looked at the eight Chu soldiers who were approaching, and the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said, "Are you all planning to rob?"

A Chu soldier pointed his sword at Zheng Zha and asked, "What's his name? Is his surname Xu?"

Zheng Zha looked at the person who spoke, and said with a smile, "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"

That Chu soldier shouted heavily: "Stop talking nonsense, what is it?"

The smile on Zheng Zha's face gradually faded, and he said calmly: "Your Excellency, you know that what you say and do like this is really a way to kill yourself."

The Chu soldier narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a sneer, "Xu Fengnian, don't put on airs here, today is your death day."

As Chu Bing said these words, Zheng Zha's mind was neutral and the Lord God's prompt sounded: "Trigger the side mission: escort the prince."

"Mission content: Escort Xu Fengnian, the heir of the Prince of Beiliang, to Lingzhou City safely. After completing it, you can get a C-level branch storyline, 3000 reward points, and 10000 reward points will be deducted for failure. When the story ends, the reward points will be negative, obliterated, accept it?"

"accept."

After Zheng Zha took over the task in his mind, his face immediately changed, and he said in a concentrated voice: "So, you planned to ambush the son of Beiliang here?"

Hearing his words and seeing his reaction made the Chu soldiers startled.

Because this sentence has already fully demonstrated that the other party is not Xu Fengnian, otherwise he would not have reacted like this, let alone asked such a question.

The leader Chu Bing said with an ugly face: "Are you really not Xu Fengnian?"

Zheng Zha shook his head and said, "I'm not Xu Fengnian, but I'm not bad."

All the Chu soldiers were taken aback when they heard the words, and the leader of the Chu soldiers frowned and said, "What do you mean? What do you mean it's not bad?"

Zheng Zha put his right hand on the handle of the Beiliang knife at his waist, and said indifferently: "If you want to kill Xu Fengnian, I will kill you."

"So I said it's okay, because whether I'm Xu Fengnian or not, you all have to die."

That Chu soldier's eyes turned cold, and he said fiercely: "It's up to you?"

"Chong"

With a crisp sound, the Beiliang knife was drawn five inches from its sheath, and Zheng Zha's figure seemed to be blurred for a moment, and it seemed that he hadn't moved at all.

The five-inch Beiliang knife that had been unsheathed was inserted back into the scabbard, and Zheng Zha said calmly, "It's up to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a red line appeared on the necks of the eight Chu soldiers.

"Zizzizi..."

The next moment, blood spurted out, and the eight Chu soldiers subconsciously covered their necks, intending to stop the spurting blood, but how could they stop it?

After a few breaths, the eight people fell to the ground with their eyes wide open, one by one dying.

Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang, who witnessed the whole scene over there, were both stunned and astonished.

This time Lao Huang didn't act, and he was really scared.

He himself is a first-rank grand master, with a cultivation base in the Profound Realm, and he can display the power of celestial phenomena by using the sword nine.

But even so, he asked himself that when facing Zheng Zha's knife just now, he was not sure that he would be able to retreat unscathed.

The two slowly slid down to the ground with their backs leaning on the boulder. Xu Fengnian swallowed and said in a trembling voice, "Old Huang, what happened just now?"

"He obviously hasn't moved, and the knife hasn't been fully unsheathed. How can everyone die?"

Old Huang said shyly: "No, he moved, but it was too fast, so fast that people's eyes could not react, and the matter was over."

Xu Fengnian turned his head, looked at Old Huang in disbelief and said, "You mean, just at that moment, he drew his knife out of its sheath, brushed over those eight people, and wiped their throats."

"Then he returned to the original place and put the knife back into the sheath, but in the eyes of others, he hardly moved?"

Lao Huang nodded with difficulty and said, "Eight or nine is not far from ten."

Xu Fengnian lost his mind and said: "Then how fast is the fuck?"

"How's the job?"

A voice of inquiry suddenly sounded above his head, and Xu Fengnian blurted out reflexively: "Top technical work, reward."

After the words fell, his neck stiffened, and he turned his head slowly mechanically, looking behind him from left to right with Lao Huang.

But he saw that white-clothed young man who killed eight Chu soldiers with a knife, and that pretty girl in a pink skirt, who did not know when they had arrived on the boulder behind them, squatting there looking at them with a half-smile.

Xu Fengnian jumped up as if his butt was on fire, took a big step back, and then decisively bowed and said, "I've seen heroes, we are just passing by, we are not with them."

Lao Huang also nodded and bowed again and again, with an apologetic smile on his face.

Zheng Zha smiled noncommittally, turned his head in the direction of those Chu soldiers, and asked, "Those people, what are their backgrounds?"

Xu Fengnian said: "Judging from his words, he seems to be a survivor of Western Chu."

Zheng Zha suddenly said: "So that's the case, no wonder they came to ambush the prince of Beiliang, do you know where their other party members are?"

Xu Fengnian asked cautiously after hearing the words: "Dare to ask the hero if he intends to..."

Zheng Zha said as a matter of course: "Of course it is to cut the weeds and root out the roots. One more day for the remnants of the six countries to live is one more day of threat to Dazhu Kingdom and the prince."

Xu Fengnian's heart moved, and he asked again: "Is the hero from Beiliang Palace?"

Zheng Zha shook his head and said, "No, I have nothing to do with Beiliang Palace, and I don't know Dazhu Kingdom and Shizi."

Xu Fengnian said: "Then this is the hero?"

Zheng Zha said sternly: "Some things don't need a reason, a sentence of 'the other's enemy, my hero' is enough."

After saying this, he smiled to himself again, and said: "Is it okay for me to be a beggar with you? Just tell me where they are and it will be over."

Xu Fengnian was shocked, and whispered the words "He's my enemy, my hero".

During the Spring and Autumn War, Xu Xiao slaughtered more than seventy cities with blood. For many years, people all over the world have evaluated him as a butcher who killed countless people.

Today was the first time he heard someone describe Xu Xiao as "my hero".

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Could it be that you want to protect them?" Zheng Zha looked at Xu Fengnian suspiciously, and pressed the thumb of his left hand on the knife grid, and the Beiliang knife was pushed out half an inch.

Seeing this, Lao Huang was anxious, quickly touched Xu Fengnian, and said: "Master, the hero is asking you something."

Xu Fengnian came back to his senses, he looked at Zheng Zha again, and asked solemnly: "Dare to ask the hero, why do you think Xu Xiao is my hero?"

Zheng Zha raised his eyebrows, and said with a worried expression: "You little beggar, why do you ask so many questions? And you can call the name of Dazhu Kingdom directly?"

Xu Fengnian stood up straight, with his hands behind his back. Although he still looked like a beggar with unkempt hair and face, the aura of the stock market was surprisingly gone.

He looked straight at Zheng Zha and said, "I'm not a beggar, even in front of Xu Xiao, I can call him by my first name."

Zheng Zha narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Xu Fengnian raised his head in the direction of Chu Bing's corpse, and said, "I am their target."

Zheng Zha opened his eyes sharply, and said in a concentrated voice: "You said you are Xu Fengnian, the son of Beiliang?"

Xu Fengnian said: "If it's fake, it's not far from Lingzhou City. It's easy to verify. If I'm not, I'm sure I'll die."

Zheng Zha stared at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled, and said: "It makes sense, it seems that my speculation all along is not wrong at all, the son of Beiliang is indeed not the rumored idiot."

Xu Fengnian was taken aback for a moment, and asked in puzzlement, "What does the hero mean?"

Zheng Zha led Luoli and jumped off the boulder, stood in front of Xu Fengnian, and said, "You ask me why I think Dazhu Kingdom is my hero, it's actually very simple."

"At the beginning, the nine kingdoms were separated, and the kingdoms fought in chaos, so that there were endless swords and soldiers, the people were dying, and the people were in dire straits."

"Dazhu Kingdom led the Beiliang iron cavalry to wipe out the six countries, and Liyang was able to break the situation and end the chaos in the world. Only then can there be today's peace. For me in Liyang, what is he if he is not a hero?"

"As for the so-called human massacre, hmph, 800 years ago, the Emperor Qin swept Liuhe, ended the war in the world, spared the remnants of the six kingdoms for the sake of benevolence and righteousness, and did not kill them all, so what happened?"

"The result was the death of the second generation, and then decades of wars, and the people suffered from the flames of war. This is the evil result of not dying after beating a snake."

"In order to avoid the lessons learned from the pre-Qin period, Dazhu Kingdom is willing to bear the name of human slaughter and be scolded by the world. Isn't this kind of mind worthy of our admiration?"

After hearing Zheng Zha's words, an inexplicable feeling surged from the bottom of Xu Fengnian's heart.

In this world, after all, there are people who understand Xu Xiao, and it's worth it.
