Start with ten times the talent of Zhang Sanfeng

Originally, according to Meng Xiuyuan's plan, he planned to take a boat all the way south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and reach Yuhang County.

In this way, showing traces all the way along the canal, it is better to have a sense of presence under the sight of Yu Wenhua and even the entire Sui court, and to open up space for Shi Long, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling.

But after the two fights on the river and on the river bank, Meng Xiuyuan felt that this humiliated and frightened General Yuwen had already had a strong impression of him, so there was no need to emphasize it.

So, Meng Xiuyuan simply changed the plan.

He happened to lose his boat, so he didn't even think about finding another boat, but instead took the land route.

Starting from the south bank of the Yangtze River, Meng Xiuyuan walked at a leisurely pace regardless of direction.

Unexpectedly, after such a few days, he still did not encounter the Sui army chasing and intercepting him, and the journey was uneventful.

Obviously, it should be that Yu Wenhuaji already knew how powerful Meng Xiuyuan was, so he didn't dare to come to him alone without strong support around him.

After thinking about this, Meng Xiu couldn't help but relax a lot, he just regarded this as an ordinary tour, and instead devoted more energy to martial arts training.

He sometimes went to the mountains to cultivate for ten days and a half months, and sometimes he went to the nearby villages and towns to rest for a while and show some traces.

Several months passed like this, and nothing happened.

Until this day, Meng Xiuyuan happened to have completed a period of practice, and found a hotel in a small county town, washed and changed clothes, and rested peacefully.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the voices on the street gradually became noisy, from weak to strong, until finally it was almost full of people's voices.

Knowing that something was wrong, Meng Xiuyuan hurriedly stopped his efforts, jumped out of the window on the second floor of the hotel, stepped straight on the roof, and looked at the situation on the main street of the town.

Taking a closer look, I saw people and vehicles vying for the road, rushing to flee to the south of the town, calling their children and calling their mothers along the way, crying loudly.

These townspeople dragged their families with them one by one, scrambling to be the first, crowding each other, and many of the salutes they carried fell to the ground, but no one cared to pick them up.

In just a moment, the road was covered with discarded clothes, furniture, utensils, shoes and other sundries. Accompanied by the screams of the turbulent crowd, it was almost a scene of the end of the world.

At this moment, a white-haired old man in the crowd accidentally fell to the ground because he was walking too hastily, and was about to be trampled by the crowd coming up from behind.

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan frowned slightly, and immediately floated to his side, stretched out his hand, and pulled him to a quiet place on the side of the street.

"Sir, it's all right.

Can you tell me what happened to cause everyone such a panic? "

The old man was panting from walking, and he was still in shock. Hearing Meng Xiuyuan's question, he opened and closed his mouth for a while, but he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan didn't urge him, but just supported his arm, poured a little zhenqi into his body, circling his meridians a few times, calming down the old man even a little.

"Little brother, thank you, thank you for saving me..."

The old man managed to catch his breath. In a trance, he subconsciously thanked Meng Xiuyuan for a few words, and then trembled, and said anxiously:
"There's going to be a war here, there's going to be a war soon!
I heard from them that Du Fuwei defeated the Sui army on the east edge and occupied Liyang, and the army and horses were approaching.

Little brother, you should run away quickly, it will be too late..."

At this point, the old man shook off Meng Xiuyuan's arm in panic, and hurriedly chased after the fleeing crowd with a small burden on his back.

Fortunately, thanks to Meng Xiuyuan's input of Qi, the old man's legs and feet were much easier than before. In a moment of desperation, he started to jog, and soon disappeared with the crowd.

Standing by the roadside, Meng Xiuyuan silently watched the townspeople fleeing south. After a while, he suddenly disappeared in place.

……

In the dim night, Meng Xiuyuan turned into a blue shadow, drifted silently across the vast land, and ran straight to the north.

He wanted to see for himself what was going on there.

At dawn, Meng Xiuyuan saw a small village in the mountains and forests in the distance, so he slowed down and wanted to enter the village to inquire about the nearby news.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a loud sound of hooves, and a group of people rushed out from behind the eastern hillside, rushing into the village ahead of Meng Xiuyuan.

There are about six to seventy people in this cavalry team, and the clothes on their bodies are various and chaotic, except that everyone wears a green scarf on their right arm, which is regarded as a common identity symbol.

At a glance, one can tell that it is not the regular Sui army, but the rebel army or bandits and the like.

And the behavior of these people was quite brutal. As soon as they entered the village, they raised their hands and shot several dogs that were barking and guarding the courtyard. All the people were driven out.

For a while, the chickens flew away, calling for children and mothers, crying and shouting, which can be described as shocking.

Immediately, these green scarf soldiers separated the men and women in the village into two groups and lined up separately, while their more than 60 cavalry surrounded them in all directions to prevent anyone from escaping.

With such behavior, Meng Xiuyuan, who was watching from a distance, frowned slightly, and understood why those townspeople fled south in such a hurry at night.

As for the village in front of him, it was obviously because of the lack of information that it suffered a great loss and endured today's catastrophe.

Meng Xiuyuan held back his breath and sneaked up to the village, but he didn't make a move immediately.

He wanted to see how these so-called "rebels" behaved on weekdays.

"Fellow folks, our Jianghuai army is here today to serve as a sign for some soldiers.

The strong and strong men in the village should stand up by themselves, don't bother us brothers to pick and choose.

It is a rare blessing for you to be able to join our Jianghuai army today.

When Director Ri Du wins the world in the future, you will be able to follow suit..."

A leader jumped out from among the cavalry, and under the wings of four entourages, he rode his horse up to the villagers and said loudly.

The men in the village were all very resistant when they heard the words. Only a few thin, yellow-faced men with ragged clothes stood up. It was obvious that they didn’t have any land property or food in the village on weekdays, so they wanted to join the army to make a living. .

Seeing this scene, the leader of the Jianghuai Army's complexion suddenly changed, and immediately snorted angrily, and cursed at the villagers:

"Hmph, if you don't know good from bad, don't blame me..."

While speaking, the man waved his long whip in his hand, and immediately more than a dozen cavalry around him got off their horses and rushed into the villagers. They picked out all the strong men and tied them into a string with ropes.

The women who were mothers and wives among the villagers, when they saw their sons and husbands being dragged into slavery, they all cried out, looking very miserable.

But when those so-called rebels saw this scene, except for a few people whose faces changed slightly, the rest showed no expression at all, as if they had no compassion at all.

At this moment, the leader rode past the group of women and children again, stopped his horse suddenly, pointed at one of the beautiful village girls with his whip and shouted:

"Come here, bring me this too..."

As soon as he said this, there should have been his subordinates to help him immediately, but the cavalry closest to the village girl was stunned when he heard the words, his body froze on the horse, and he did not move for a long time.

"Zhang Yong, are you dreaming, didn't you hear what I said?!"

The leader was furious when he saw this, and immediately shouted at his subordinates.

Hearing the sound, the cavalry quickly got off his horse, ran to the leader, took off his leather helmet, revealed a dark and honest face, and said carefully:
"Boss Qi, I'm afraid it's against the rules for you to do this.

How about you bear with it, and when we enter the city, I will invite you to the brothel..."

The cavalryman hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly heard a "crack" of the whip, and then he felt burning pain on his face, and he couldn't help but fell to the side.

"I said one thing is the same, what are you, dare to stop me?!"

Boss Qi shouted angrily, the cavalryman shrank his neck in fright, and dared not speak anymore.

Seeing this scene, the remaining soldiers around didn't dare to ask Boss Qi to speak again, so they hurriedly got off their horses and rushed into the group of women and children, pulling the village girl out.

Taking a closer look, the woman is really pretty and has a plump figure, which is quite different from ordinary village women.

Boss Qi got off his horse, looked at the woman with a lewd smile, and when he was about to reach out, another young rebel suddenly stopped in front of him, and said in a cold voice:
"Boss Qi, Director Du is ordered not to rape women. If you rein in the precipice now, there is still time."

Boss Qi was furious when he saw this, immediately hung the whip around his waist, pulled out the scimitar on his back with his backhand, put it on Li Jing's neck, and shouted angrily:
"Li Jing, are you impatient too?
Here are my own brothers, you two newcomers don't talk nonsense, how could Director Du know? !

Hmph, don't think that you can ignore me because you have two skills.

Today, I'm sure I'll play with this woman, I'll kill anyone who stops me.

The Heavenly King Lao Tzu is here, and it is the same! "

While speaking, Boss Qi turned his saber and wanted to slap Li Jing aside with the back of his saber. Because he was afraid of Li Jing's martial arts, he used all his strength in this move.

And that Li Jing also had a flash of killing intent in his eyes, and reached out to touch the weapon at his waist.

Unexpectedly, just as a big battle was about to start, Boss Qi suddenly lost his hand and the long knife disappeared, and then an indifferent voice came from behind:
"Oh, is it?"

The next moment, Boss Qi only felt a chill coming from his crotch.

……

Compared with the previous two lives, it is obvious that the practice of martial arts in this Great Tang world is more prosperous.

The soldiers in the army, both in terms of average strength and the number of masters, are naturally much higher.

Among the [-] or [-] cavalrymen alone, more than a dozen of them possessed internal strength and entered the threshold of internal martial arts.Such a ratio was completely unimaginable in the two worlds of Yitian and Tianlong.

It's no wonder that no matter what level of master in this life, it is difficult to defeat thousands of troops on the battlefield, and most of the time they can only play a role as an assassin.

Of course, Meng Xiuyuan was slightly different from them.

Although his level of martial arts was not high enough, he suffered some disadvantages when fighting against the world's top fighters, but with the advantages of skill and physical strength, Meng Xiuyuan had a natural advantage in the aspect of torturing vegetables.

Not to mention only sixty or seventy cavalry, even ten or twenty times more, for Meng Xiuyuan, it was only a matter of time before it was resolved.

It didn't take long, all the cavalrymen present were taken away by him, they all sealed their acupoints, and tortured them later.

Except for the fact that Boss Qi had died under his sword, only Li Jing and Zhang Yong, who spoke out to stop the atrocities, were left, and they were still able to move freely.

"My lord, Li Jing, met this young master.

Your Excellency's martial arts is so high that I have only seen it in my life, and with the addition of benevolence and righteousness, it is even more rare.

It is really Li Jing's luck to meet someone like Your Excellency today..."

Seeing that Meng Xiuyuan had finished handling the chores, Li Jing immediately took the initiative to take a step forward and said respectfully to him.

Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but scrutinized this person carefully, only to see that his appearance was rough and his behavior was chic, which was different from ordinary people.If the guess is correct, it must be the famous general through the ages.

"Brother Li, you're being polite, I just passed by by chance and did it as I wished.

You are not afraid of the power of your boss, and you still stand up, which is also commendable.

It's just that I don't know how a character like Brother Li can get mixed up in such a team? "

Meng Xiuyuan also arched his hands towards Li Jing and asked.

Li Jing looked slightly sad when he heard the words, shook his head, and said to Meng Xiuyuan:

"In troubled times, it is really not easy to find a wise master.

This Du Fuwei is very famous, I thought he was a character.

But after these days of close observation, I gradually realized that he is not a hero who can win the world.

Not only is the control of his subordinates not strict enough, but he is also greedy for small profits in the immediate future. Forcibly recruiting strong men into the army, causing anger and resentment, is really a bad idea.

Let me tell you, the people in this world have been subjected to the tyranny of the imperial court for a long time, and many of them will not be able to survive long ago. If we change the way and call out, it may be much better than this compulsory conscription..."

Speaking of Du Fuwei's matter, Li Jing was obviously full of disdain, and involuntarily said a lot of digressions for a while.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't interrupt him when he heard the words, so he just listened silently until he suddenly felt something was wrong after a long while, then quickly turned his head to look at Zhang Yong, who had been silent since the beginning, and asked:
"My friend, why are you staring at me?

Do you think there is something wrong with me? "

Zhang Yong was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly waved his hands to deny it. After hesitating for a while, he asked Meng Xiuyuan with a guilty conscience:
"My lord, I dare to ask a question.

I don't know, but your surname is Meng..."

Meng Xiuyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded immediately, and said hesitantly:

"Meng Xiuyuan... this friend, where did we meet?"

Zhang Yong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately stood up from the ground, hugged Meng Xiuyuan's shoulders, and said excitedly:

"Brother Meng, why don't you remember me?!

I am Yongzi, Yongzi from Cuishan Town..."

Meng Xiuyuan was quite surprised when he heard the sound, hurriedly pushed it away, looked it up and down carefully, and said in disbelief:
"Yongzi... you, why do you look like this?
The shopkeeper and the proprietress, did they give you something to eat..."

It's no wonder that Meng Xiuyuan didn't recognize Yongzi who had been with him for several months. It was really the first time in ten years, and the other party changed too much.

The originally white and thin child who was only as tall as Meng Xiuyuan's chest had now grown into a big man like a dark iron tower. He was rough and strong, and his overall figure was more than two or three circles larger than Meng Xiuyuan's.

Recalling the couple in the small restaurant in Cuishan Town, they were both ordinary and short in stature, and somehow they raised such a child.

Zhang Yong didn't answer when he heard the words, just giggled, and quietly stood beside Meng Xiuyuan, just like when he was a child, full of security in his heart.

Once Li Jing was interrupted by this episode, he also knew that he had talked too much just now, so he immediately changed the subject and reminded Meng Xiuyuan:

"Young Master Meng, congratulations on meeting your old friend again.

But right now may not be a good time to reminisce about the past.

If my prediction is correct, Du Fuwei and his personal guards may pass by here soon.

We should evacuate the villagers here as soon as possible, and then find a way to escape.

Although this Director Du has no lofty ambitions, he is not an ordinary person, no matter his martial arts or power, he is rare in this world.

We have deeply offended him at this moment, and we are afraid that we have fallen into a big crisis. "

Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan glanced at the cavalrymen whose acupoints were tapped by him, then shook his head, and replied:
"The villagers should have been evacuated earlier so that they could seek refuge in the south to avoid military disasters.

But this Du Fuwei, I want to meet..."
