Fu Shifeng

Chapter 260: Break in one swing
Cheng Sanwu was just about to mount his horse and leave when he suddenly heard someone calling from the corner of the street: "Old Cheng!"

Turning around, he saw Su Wangting waving to him excitedly. Cheng Sanwu was extremely surprised: "Oh! Old Su! Why are you here?!"

Cheng Sanwu flew to Su Wangting in two steps, grabbed his shoulder and slapped him repeatedly.

"Ouch... Old Cheng, why are your hands stronger than before?" Su Wangting couldn't bear it, and at the same time looked at the other person: "Look at you, you are covered in blood, just like in the Western Regions!"

Cheng Sanwu lowered his head and glanced at himself. They had just been fighting, and his robes were inevitably stained with blood. He didn't bother to care about it, and laughed and said, "It's okay! Just go back and change into another one."

Su Wangting sighed after hearing this. Before he could say anything, he suddenly heard the sound of vomiting from the side. It turned out that the elder of the Lu family walked out of the alley and saw the scene of corpses on the ground and rivers of blood on the long street. He couldn't bear it and vomited on the spot while holding on to the wall.

"Who is this? Are you in the same group?" Cheng Sanwu asked.

"I forgot to introduce you just now." Su Wangting wisely pulled Cheng Sanwu into the alley so as not to see the miserable scene outside again: "His name is Cheng Sanwu. He is my right-hand man at Baochang Society in the Western Regions. Now he is working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs... This is the eldest son of Prime Minister Lu’s family, his cousin is Linzhi. He is the new envoy of Jiangnan East Road, and I serve as the assistant envoy, counselor and assistant. In addition to official duties, we are here for Changqing’s marriage. "

Cheng Sanwu slapped his forehead: "Oh, if you didn't tell me, I almost forgot. I sent someone to deliver a letter to Chang'an last year."

"We had just arrived in Jianghuai a few days ago when an unrest broke out in the city." Su Wangting asked quickly: "What happened in Yangzhou? We heard that there was a rebellion against the Party in the Jianghuai area?"

"Oh! Don't mention it!" Cheng Sanwu said without concealment: "This time it's our chamberlain who found a spy!"

Su Wangting's face changed slightly. When Lu Linzhi heard this, he seemed to be energetic immediately. He stood up holding the wall, wiped his mouth with a towel, and asked quickly: "Ministry of Internal Affairs? I remember that the duty of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is to inspect prefectures and counties, Supervisory officials, why are they related to this rebellion against the party?"

"The leader of the rebel party is the inspector-general sent to Jiangnan East Road by the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" Cheng Sanwu shouted angrily: "Damn it, I just said why I can't find out the truth for so long. It turns out that the root cause is my own family. It's really a night-time defense and a day-time defense. It’s hard to guard against domestic thieves!”

Su Wangting was much more steady. He vaguely felt that this matter would have huge implications in the future, but Cheng Sanwu was shouting without restraint at this moment. You must know that besides himself, there are several officials who are about to take office next to them. These people are not Will keep the secret for Cheng Sanwu.

Lu Linzhi asked: "We have often heard rumors about the 'descending of the Holy King' in the past few days. Could it be that the supervisor has proclaimed himself king and emperor?"

"It's not him." Cheng Sanwu answered directly: "It is said that the supervisor secretly adopted the deposed emperor's heir. Although he himself has been executed, the deposed emperor's heir has not been found yet."

"Dead? Killed by who?" Lu Linzhi asked curiously.

Cheng Sanwu slapped his chest: "I killed him!"

Seeing Cheng Sanwu's extremely confident expression, Su Wangting raised his forehead and shook his head. He guessed that Old Cheng might not have known that the situation was complicated and unpredictable, and maybe he just followed his temper and went on a killing spree.

"The leader of the rebel party is dead? Now..." Lu Linzhi obviously did not expect the change.

"The news probably hasn't reached Yangzhou yet, so I rushed here first." Cheng Sanwu scratched his head: "Unfortunately, I still didn't catch up. I heard that the Jiangdu government office has been captured?"

"I don't think it's a capture." Su Wangting said: "There may be rebels in the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion. Pirates entered the city a few days ago, and I didn't hear of any fighting. Someone should have taken the initiative to open the city gate and introduce the thieves into the city. .”

"I really didn't see it." Cheng Sanwu touched his chin: "That guy Zhang Su actually extended his hand so far. Maybe no one from Huainan Road noticed it."

"I'm afraid that the soldiers in Yangzhou Dudu's Mansion have now become the pawns of the rebel party." Lu Lin asked uneasily: "Does Mr. Cheng have a way to escape?"

"Escape? What kind of escape?" Cheng Sanwu looked puzzled: "Those who rebel against the party have rebelled. If we don't kill them, how can we still celebrate the New Year?"

Lu Linzhi's face was stiff. He had never dealt with Cheng Sanwu, so how could he know his character.Su Wangting quickly interjected: "Old Cheng, most of the rebels are now entrenched in the northern city. There are tight fortresses and many soldiers there. Do you plan to go directly in?"

"Right now, the rebels are about to make a big fuss. We can't do it without punching hard." Cheng Sanwu shook his arm: "If anyone dares to block the way, then try my knife first!"

Su Wangting knew Cheng Sanwu's behavior and no one else could stop him, so he nodded and said: "Then you must be careful... Dalangjun, don't worry, since Cheng Sanwu has come to Jiangdu City, he will definitely not be able to cause trouble if he rebels against the party."

"Forget it, I hope the situation can improve as soon as possible." Lu Linzhi sighed.

"Come on, take these distinguished guests to Xiuyunfang and take good care of them." Cheng Sanwu motioned to Zhang Fan and others, and after a few words of instructions, he talked to Su Wangting alone: ​​"Is this the eldest son of the Lu Xiang family? With Chang Qing It’s far behind!”

Su Wangting glanced at the miserable situation on the long street and replied with a wry smile: "I follow Prime Minister Lu to handle government affairs, unlike Chang Qing who practices Taoism and martial arts and travels around. Where have I seen such a battle?"

Everyone returned to Xiuyunfang, which was originally the residence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Yangzhou. However, when Cheng Sanwu arrived, they found that Chief Ye and a group of embroidery envoys had been captured by the rebel party. It was obviously arranged by Zhang Su in advance.

"This is the list of local rebel leaders in Yangzhou."

Qin Wangshu handed over a piece of paper and explained: "There is currently a barrier set up by magicians in Jiangdu Zicheng. Once we sneak in, we will be noticed immediately, so some rebels may not be included in it."

Cheng Sanwu glanced at it and didn't bother to look further: "It doesn't matter. If you don't kneel down and beg for mercy when I kill you, you are rebelling against the party. If you dare to resist, you are a well-trained rebel against the party!"

Qin Wangshu reminded in a low voice: "Envoy Fu said that it is best not to leak Gao Changshi's raising of 100 million yuan."

"I understand." Cheng Sanwu nodded: "You take a few people with you, and when I attack Zicheng from the front and attract the rebels to besiege you, you can sneak in from elsewhere and deal with Gao Changshi by the way. If Chief Ye is still alive, so let’s try to rescue him. To prove Zhang Su’s crime, we need her help and cooperation.”

"As ordered."

……

"The first priority now is to recruit troops and horses as soon as possible to deal with the army that Chang'an is about to send."

In the governor's office, Du Canjun was sitting on a high chair and said to the people around him: "Currently, there are more than 5000 cavalry servants in Yangzhou alone. You must train them into an army as soon as possible..."

When Du Canjun was arranging appointments there, a Taoist priest in the right-hand table suddenly stood up and looked out of the hall with a frown.

"Director Wen, what happened? Could it be that another thief broke in?" Du Canjun asked. "Yes, and he is very energetic and powerful." Taoist priest Wen turned around and said, "This person is not an ordinary person. Please arrange for experts to deal with it quickly."

Du Canjun looked to the other side. King Sun Long had now changed into a luxurious brocade robe, sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, completely out of shape, playing with a jade Ruyi in his hand.

"Captain Sun, please come forward to meet the enemy." Du Shenjun suppressed his displeasure. He would not have joined forces with such pirates and bandits if not for the instructions of Mr. Zhang.

Sun Longwang tapped his shoulder with Yu Ruyi and said lazily: "I said you guys can't even manage a mere Jiangdu city these days? There are actually enemies wandering around in the city."

"I have ordered a strict curfew. Even if some thieves are escaping, they will not last long." Du Canjun said with a straight face: "We are both under the rebel army. I hope Sun Duwei will perform well, otherwise the food and grass for several battalions under Sun Duwei's command will be lost. It’s difficult to prepare everything.”

"Okay, okay, can't I go?" King Sun Long complained.

As he stood up, a soldier suddenly rushed into the meeting hall in a panic: "Oh no! Suddenly a madman came into the city, and we can't resist it!"

"Oh? He looks like a really powerful character." King Sun Long showed a ferocious smile and headed there with a few followers.

Du Canjun looked at Sun Longwang's back and cursed secretly. If he hadn't controlled dozens of large ships and a group of skilled and loyal boatmen, Du Canjun would have killed him long ago just because of his disobedience to orders. .

While he was thinking in his mind, there was a faint sound of fighting in the distance, and there seemed to be many people running away.

Du Canjun seemed dissatisfied and stood up to ask: "What's going on? Is there really only one person who broke into Zicheng?"

Before Du Canjun left the government office, a loud noise suddenly came from outside, the ground trembled, and a large amount of smoke rose.

Du Canjun hurriedly came outside the hall and was shocked to see that the main entrance of the Governor's Office had collapsed and collapsed. A ravine passed through the ruins and was split into two pieces along with the screen wall. There seemed to be scorched black marks around it from the fire.

In the smoke and dust outside the courtyard, the sound of heavy and slow footsteps came. In everyone's eyes, they saw King Sun Long staggering out of the smoke.

The all-powerful Sun Dragon King, who was said to have thousands of people under his command, was in an extremely miserable state at the moment. The left half of his body was almost completely burned, and his left arm was mutilated. The breath he exhaled with difficulty from his mouth and nose actually contained a few sparks, like the internal organs in his cavity. Becomes a burning coal in the furnace.

"You..." Du Canjun was shocked. Although he hated Sun Longwang very much, he had to admit that this man was highly skilled in martial arts. At the time, Gao Changshi had several guests under his command, and they all came from famous martial arts families in Jianghuai. Sun Longwang One person defeated them all and kidnapped Gao Changshi, so that they could easily take over Jiangdu City.

"I didn't see it, but you are quite capable."

Suddenly, the scorching wind blew away the smoke and dust, and a burly man holding a horizontal sword was seen. He laughed loudly and said: "Although the name Sun Longwang is a bit exaggerated, looking at the Jianghuai land, there are not many people who can compete with you." No wonder you are unwilling to be left alone and want to rebel with the rebel party."

King Sun Long couldn't answer the question, but he fell to the ground.

"Who are you?!" Du Canjun asked in shock.

Cheng Sanwu looked around and yawned: "They are all a bunch of trash, how dare you rebel?"

"Come here! Take him down quickly!" Du Canjun shouted loudly.

"Stop screaming." Cheng Sanwu clasped his ears: "I just came to Zicheng, but the gatekeepers said they didn't know me and insisted on taking me for questioning. I couldn't hold it back and killed seven of them. There are 80 people, and the rest have fled. I am too lazy to chase them one by one, so I have to come to you."

When he said this, there were more than a dozen capable soldiers in full armor surrounding Cheng Sanwu from the left and right sides. Before they could get closer, flaming sword light slashed out from all directions, immediately turning them into pieces of broken limbs and burnt flesh. The stench filled the courtyard.

After experiencing the battle on Wengzhou Island, although Cheng Sanwu has not yet reached the legendary innate realm, his Yanfeng Sword Technique can be said to have reached another level, and the Yanliu Swordsmanship can be completely unleashed according to his heart.

It can even be said that the Yanliu sword light has become an extension of the mind. The attacks issued at will are no longer as straight as in the past, but can change the trend at any time. The thickness, length, width, speed, sharpness and bluntness of the sword light, All in one thought.

This is the reason why Cheng Sanwu was able to kill the crowd without hurting the innocent women and children when he killed the troublesome Hu Shang.As long as Cheng Sanwu's mind actively selects the enemy, no matter how violent the flame flow is, it will not hurt others.

Moreover, due to the success of warming and nourishing the hundred-refined magic sword, Cheng Sanwu can condense the Yanfeng Kung into the sword, causing it to fly out and hurt people, up to tens of feet away, like a flying sword, traveling back and forth to the imperial envoy at will. .

In addition, Cheng Sanwu has a deep foundation and abundant vitality, and his movements are often extremely powerful. Even hundreds of armored soldiers are no better than wheat ears waiting to be cut in front of Cheng Sanwu's blade.

"You rebels, are you going to commit suicide or surrender?" Cheng Sanwu really had no interest in this group of people.

"Presumptuous! Do you think you want us to surrender with this little ability?" Du Canjun's mind was on the verge of collapse. He understood how powerful the person in front of him was, but he also knew very well that once he surrendered, there would be no end in sight for him. painful torture.

"Everyone! We are doing this great thing together just to support the orthodoxy and save all the people from the dire straits!" Du Canjun shouted hoarsely and took out the sword from his waist: "Even if it is difficult to accomplish this great thing today, we still want to die a grand death! "

"I really don't understand. What kind of ecstasy soup did Zhang Su pour into you? Is it worth sacrificing your life for him to this extent?" Cheng Sanwu pinched his nostrils and didn't take this group of people seriously at all: "I'm also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. , I never believe in any orthodox nonsense.”

"You, are you from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Seeing Cheng Sanwu nod, Du Shenjun gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, rushing towards him desperately.

Without even looking, Cheng Sanwu chopped off Du Canjun's legs with a single wave of the Bailian Divine Sword.This sword power was so concentrated that the incisions on both legs were instantly cooked, without even a drop of blood flowing out. The severe pain caused Du Canjun to immediately faint and fall to the ground.

"Want to die? It's not that easy." Cheng Sanwu snorted coldly, and then looked at Daoist Wen: "Looking at your appearance, did you arrange the barrier around the city?"

"Yes." Daozhang Wen replied tremblingly.

"What is the relationship between Master Taiyuan of Ziyun Cave in Chicheng Mountain and you?" Cheng Sanwu asked again.

"It's the master..."

Before Wen Daochang finished speaking, he could only see a fist approaching in front of his eyes, and then the world was spinning and he fell unconscious.
