Chapter 89 Dilemma
"You haven't found Xiaoxiao yet?" Madam Chu raised her voice slightly, "Yu'er?"
Shen Yuqing came back to her senses and replied respectfully: "Lao Ji sent someone to send a message, saying that they had met on the Han River. Before he could inform Master Ya, Xiaoxiao left with Miss Gu." He received the message from Ji Shaoguang. I came to discuss it with my mother when I received the letter.
"Why is this girl so wild!" Mrs. Chu complained, "I can't control what Mr. Ji does!"
"Mother." Shen Yuqing called softly.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Chu asked.
"Don't laugh when you say this, my aunt will believe you later." Shen Yuqing said seriously.
"You are getting more and more courageous, do you dare to tease me?" Mrs. Chu laughed, and asked: "What happened just now? Are you worried about your sister? She is the eldest lady of Qingcheng, good at martial arts, and smart, even in Huashan. Nothing big will happen, I guess she will be back before the Chinese New Year, so don’t worry too much."
When Mrs. Ya heard this, she must have rolled her eyes again, Shen Yuqing thought.When Shen Weichen left Qingcheng, it was impossible not to worry, but compared to worrying, maybe he was a little happy.
Happy?Why are you happy?Shen Yuqing thought that, like his mother, he hoped that his sister could go out and see the world more, although he knew it was dangerous.
Shen Yuqing said: "My child is thinking of another thing that Uncle Ji reported, and he wants to retreat all the fleets on the Han River into Hubei."
"What did Lao Yan say?"
"Second Young Master Yan went to see Uncle Ji to ensure that there will be no more boat bandits on the Han River." Shen Yuqing said, "The Xiangyang Gang appreciates our kindness."
"Lao Yan has suffered such a humiliating situation, it's time to hold a grudge again." Mrs. Chu sneered and said, "Yu'er, mother, I still have something to ask you."
Seeing her mother's solemn question, Shen Yuqing calmed down and asked, "Mother, please speak."
"Brother Zhuge sang this big show before the Kunlun meeting. Anyone with a discerning eye knows his intentions." Mrs. Chu asked, "Why are you wading in this muddy water?"
Shen Yuqing was stunned and said: "Dian Cang taking the position of alliance leader is only the first step. He will continue to control the position of alliance leader and modify the rules agreed upon by Kunlun. After that, if he dares to do more excessive things, the world will not It’s peaceful.”
"Knowing that you will offend Dian Cang and Huashan?" Mrs. Chu said, "Yan Feixi captured you in Wudang. Ultimately, it was for this reason. His son's death in the Tang Sect was just an excuse. Almost all sects were sitting and watching, but you were the only one who took the risk. Doing such a thankless job. In fact, in the end, this matter was nothing more than a matter between Dian Cang and Hengshan. Why didn't Hengshan wait for Hengshan to take the initiative to win over? There are still some benefits. "
Shen Yuqing shook his head. He didn't want Hengshan to take the initiative to win over, and acquiescing to the competition between the two factions was equivalent to breaking the current rules. If the rules were messed up, anything could happen.
"Mother understands what you are saying. What she is asking is your reason. Is it your sworn brother Mr. Xie who persuades you?"
Shen Yuqing thought for a while, then slowly said: "I am doing it for the people of Qingcheng."
Mrs. Chu remained silent. After a long time, Shen Yuqing asked softly: "Mother, do you think the child is reckless?"
Chu Jingtan was silent for a moment and said, "Mom is proud to have a son like you."
Shen Yuqing was deeply moved, and felt that all the planning he had been doing during this time suddenly became valuable. He smiled and said, "Mom, don't praise me. Mom can be proud, but I can't."
Chu Jingtan smiled and said: "I have such a good son, can't you praise me a little? Go down and wait for your father to finish approving the official documents. You can discuss with him whether to recall Ji Shaoguang."
"Don't recall Ji Shaoguang yet," Xie Gubai said.
Shen Yuqing left Qiantang, returned to the study, and immediately summoned Xie Gubai for discussion.
"The Han River is within the borders of Huashan and Wudang." Shen Yuqing said, "It's not good for an army to go deep alone and stay there for a long time. Since Huashan has been forced to make concessions and won't be recalled, what are you going to do there?"
"The Xiangyang Gang will help us take care of it." Xie Gubai said, "The Xiangyang Gang is willing to help with food, equipment, baggage, and ship maintenance and repairs."
Is there such a good thing?Although Qingcheng helped Xiangyang clear the waterway and gave up the benefits of Yangtze River water transportation, was he willing to bear the expenses of this army?Shen Yuqing felt that there must be something inside that she didn't know about.
"Mr. Xie, do you have any private agreement with Gang Leader Yu?"
"Wudang is unreliable. The Xiangyang Gang needs strong backers." Xie Gubai said, "I promised Gang Leader Yu that if there is chaos, Qingcheng will protect the Xiangyang Gang."
"This is going too far." Shen Yuqing said, "We have already asked them to carry the banner of Qingcheng, isn't it enough?"
"Yu Jien will not believe in a flag, he believes in ships." Xie Gubai said, "He will hope that the ships in Qingcheng will stay in the Han River, and Wudang will not care anyway."
"And we need this fleet to stay in the Han River." As if he was afraid that Shen Yuqing would become suspicious, Xie Gubai continued, "Based on the current situation, the defeat of Kunlun Diancang is certain this time. I'm afraid that Deputy Zhuge Zhang has other ideas. This fleet can act as a threat and keep an eye on Hanzhong."
Zhuge Ran is a first-class powerful person. Shen Yuqing naturally knows that he will not sit still and wait for death, but she can't figure out how to bring him back to life. Xie Gubai's words sound reasonable.
But it's not convincing enough.If it was just like this, when he arranged to change ships with the Xiangyang Gang and let Ji Shaoguang lead the troops, he should have raised the issue instead of waiting for him to ask questions.
Shen Yuqing thought of Wudang and his party. Perhaps under his nose, his eldest brother had other transactions with Gang Leader Yu...
"Brother, what else are you hiding from me?" He decided not to speculate anymore and asked Xie Gubai directly, "What deal did you make with Gang Leader Yu?"
Xie Gubai was silent for a long time before replying: "Gang Leader Yu hopes that Qingcheng can keep the Xiangyang Gang safe forever."
Shen Yuqing was shocked. How could he not understand the meaning of these words? Wasn't this about bringing the Xiangyang Gang under Qingcheng's command?This is encroaching on Wudang’s territory!He couldn't help but stand up and said: "Brother, this can't be done! No matter how stupid Wudang is, there is no way he will agree! To invade the territory, there will be a battle, and it is our fault to have a Kunlun discussion!"
Xie Gubai said: "I knew you wouldn't agree, so I hid it from you."
Shen Yuqing said: "You shouldn't take matters into your own hands! You..." Shen Yuqing was speechless for a moment. This fact was too serious. He never expected that Xie Gubai would be so bold.
"We need the Xiangyang Gang now, so I can only agree." Xie Gubai said, "I know that if I tell my second brother about this, you will definitely refuse, so I can only make my own decision. This is an expedient measure."
"An expedient measure?" Shen Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then understood, "What the eldest brother means is that when the matter is settled, Qingcheng will not be included in the Xiangyang Gang?"
"It's your own decision, as long as you give me the corresponding punishment." Xie Gubai smiled lightly, calmly.It's not self-confidence, it's the indifference of not caring or caring, as if it's a trivial matter.
"Didn't this deceive the Xiangyang Gang?" Shen Yuqing said.This is not the way to make allies.
"Second brother didn't lie to him, I lied to him. I will talk to Gang Leader Yu again. The Xiangyang Gang still needs Qingcheng, and Qingcheng will take care of him. He will not embarrass me."
"When will Uncle Ji's fleet be transferred back?"
"The fastest we have to wait for is the end of the Kunlun Conference." Xie Gubai said: "Big things cannot be decided in one day, so we need this fleet to stay on the Han River."
Shen Yuqing was a little unhappy, but he knew very well that Xie Gubai's arrangement was right. Even before he ordered the ship to sail into the Han River to avenge Xiao Xiao, he had already dispatched his troops in advance and reached a deal with Yu Jien.If the Kunlun consensus really changes, they really need this fleet in order to stop Huashan.
But why didn't he say it and kept it from himself?Is it really just because you know you will never agree?
After discussing the follow-up with Shen Yuqing, Xie Gubai left Junzi Pavilion.
He did use expedient measures, but not necessarily against Shen Yuqing.
Shen Yuqing is a kind person, kind and smart, Xie Gubai knows it very well.He raised his head, and Qingcheng's flag was flying above Juntian Palace.Bamboo is a gentleman and sword is a sharp weapon. Bamboo and sword are the flag of Qingcheng.
He is already a gentleman, when will he become a sharp sword?

Shen Weichen was very surprised, how could Jingfeng's friend find him, especially late at night.
"Why did the young master come to visit me late at night?" She couldn't help but feel a little wary, "How did the young master know that I was here?"
"I'll see you in the afternoon." Ming said vaguely, "I'll see you near the Huashan convoy when exploring the road in the afternoon."
Shen Weichen asked suspiciously: "Exploring the way?"
Ming unknownly said: "That was the convoy that Huashan was proposing to the third master's daughter. Brother Yang and Senior Peng led a group of horse thieves. They wanted to rob the betrothal gifts in the past two days. They also wanted to kidnap the leader, Mr. Yan San, and use him as a hostage. , in exchange for Senior Peng’s grandson.”
This matter is not trivial. Shen Weichen was shocked and had many doubts. He asked: "Young master talked about exploring the road, could he be involved in it?"
Ming nodded uncertainly: "I want to help Brother Yang."
Shen Weichen asked again: "Young master came here specifically to ask us to help?" He hesitated when he asked this question. Huashan and Qingcheng already had a grudge. If they helped Peng Xiaobei kidnap Yan San, how could he still pay it off?But if the other party asks for help, should you refuse?She remembered something again and asked, "Young master has also seen Jingfeng. Why don't you go to him and come to me instead?"
"I'm here just because of Brother Jingfeng's affairs." Ming said vaguely, "Why didn't Ms. Shen take Brother Jingfeng back to Qingcheng?"
"Jingfeng doesn't want to go back." Shen Weichen shook his head and said, "I can't force him."
Ming Wuxiang looked at Shen Weichen, and then said after a while: "If we don't bring him back to Qingcheng, Miss Shen will not be able to protect him all the time. He will die sooner or later, in a few months at the earliest and in a few years at the earliest. Unless Brother Jingfeng joins Ye Bang." He then shook his head and said, "With his skills, Ye Bang looks down on him, and he is not that kind of person. At most, he can only be a dead soldier in the Night Bang, dying for a mission he is willing to take on. .”
These words made Shen Weichen worried, and she asked: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"I don't know." Ming Wuxi thought for a moment, then continued, "Brother Jingfeng and Huashan had a grudge because they rescued Mr. Shen. Unless this grudge can be resolved, Huashan will never let Jingfeng go. I care about Jingfeng. Brother Feng, that’s why I came here to ask you. Please keep the matter of the girl’s meeting with me a secret. Tomorrow’s events will be dangerous, and I don’t want Jingfeng to get involved.”
Shen Weichen said "hmm" and said, "Thank you."
After Ming Wuxiang left, Shen Weichen closed the door, lit the lamp, and meditated, thinking: "Senior Peng wants to rob the Huashan convoy, which is too dangerous. But with Peng Xiaobei's martial arts experience and martial arts, maybe he can It can really happen."
Suddenly, she had a thought in her mind. She said that she wanted to resolve the hatred between Huashan and Jingfeng. If she took Jingfeng to rescue Mr. Yan and brought him back to Huashan, could Master Yan not accept this sentiment?Huashan and Songshan are family friends. The Yan family and Qingcheng came forward to seek protection, and even the Taishan sect's hatred petition was withdrawn. As long as they did not step into Kongtong, wouldn't the scenery be in danger?
If it is feasible or not, Jingfeng is kind to Yang Yan, and Qingcheng has also helped Peng Xiaobei. If he really wants to take action, he will definitely have to give in. If this thing is done, not only will Jingfeng be safe, but also the situation will be improved. Eliminate the conflict between Qingcheng and Huashan, killing two birds with one stone.
However, this idea only flashed through Shen Weichen's mind. It was one of the many possibilities she had imagined, and she never seriously considered it.No matter how unjust the Yan family was, Yan Xuting was the one who led the way in destroying the Peng family that day. He had no reason to stop Peng Xiaobei from saving his grandson.To take a step back, I knew that a big war was coming and many people would be killed and injured, but I didn't stop it beforehand. Instead, I used it to take credit to help Jingfeng. Not to mention that Jingfeng didn't agree, even I couldn't have done such a thing.
If Young Master Yan is reminded to take a detour, I am afraid that the other party may not give up and may collude with Iron Sword Silver Guard to kill Peng Xiaobei.If he did this kind of thing just to save Jingfeng, I'm afraid Jingfeng would look down on him for the rest of his life.
But should he tell Jingfeng that Mingwu came to see him?If it is said, Jingfeng might go to help Yang Yan. Originally it was just a wanted order issued by Songshan, but now there is an additional arrest warrant against Huashan, and Jingfeng's situation will only become more difficult.He was in danger, and she and Gu Qingshang couldn't interfere. She thought, since everything was in trouble, it would be better to just pretend not to know about it and wait and see how things develop.
As soon as she lay down on the bed, she thought again: "Senior Peng and Yang Yan led a group of bandits, can they really deal with the disciples of Huashan? Even if Peng Xiaobei is a strong martial artist, how do you know that Huashan has not sent a general to protect him? If there is an accident tomorrow, Peng Aren’t the old beggar’s families about to lose another bloodline?”
This second thought added to her worry. She was still hesitant about what to do tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Shen Weichen went to inquire first and learned that Yan Xuting's escorts this time were Wu Qiushan and Fei Ying Li Zixiu.Wu Qiushan is Li Zixiu's senior brother and master Ji Shaoguang's brother-in-law. He is nicknamed "Silver Spear" and is the current head of the Gunslinger Sect.The Shenqiang Sect is also a sect under Huashan. Wu Qiushan's reputation in the world is not as good as that of Fang Jingjiu, Du Yinsong, Zhao Zijing and others, so I don't know how good his skills are.
As Yan Xuting, he should accept hospitality at Xingxiu Gate, but it is impossible for all the accompanying guards to live in the sect.Shen Weichen went around the inn where the Huashan disciples stayed and estimated that there were at least [-] guards on this trip. Although he didn't know their quality, they must be better than the horse bandits.
Senior Peng leads a group of horse thieves, is there any way to defeat them?Shen Weichen was not sure.She returned to the inn, and Li Jingfeng was wanted. He hid in the room and drank porridge. When the three of them met, Gu Qingshang asked, "Where did the girl go? She was nowhere to be seen early in the morning."
Shen Weichen said: "It's okay. I'm afraid that the Huashan group of people will wander around the city and bump into the scenery. I went out for a walk."
Gu Qingshang pinched her chin, looked at Shen Weichen and said, "Why is this girl so careful and thinks so thoroughly about everything?"
Tianshui is a big city in Gansu, and it was inconvenient for Li Jingfeng to stay for a long time, so the three of them rode out of the city and headed west.Shen Weichen thought to herself: "Huashan's convoy is heading east, so we won't hit it." She was thinking all the way, but she was uneasy, and suddenly she heard Gu Qingshang shouting: "Sister, be careful!"
Shen Weichen suddenly woke up and realized that he had almost walked into the ditch and stopped his horse in a hurry.Gu Qingshang asked: "What's wrong with the girl? She's been in a state of shock since she left the city."
Shen Weichen said: "It's okay..."
Gu Qingshang frowned and said, "My little sister is not a person who hides her inner thoughts. Did she get some ideas this morning and hear some news?"
Shen Weichen looked at Li Jingfeng and saw that he was also looking at him with confusion.An idea flashed through her, and she suddenly figured it out: "How can I do this? How can I make the decision for Jingfeng? It doesn't matter whether he helps or not, as long as I am by his side, I will try my best to protect him." Then she said: "Yesterday That night your Ming Ming brother came to see me."
Li Jingfeng was shocked and asked quickly: "What did he say to my little sister?"
Shen Weichen said: "He said that Peng Xiaobei and Brother Yang are going to rob the Huashan convoy today."
Li Jingfeng and Gu Qingshang exclaimed at the same time.
※ ※ ※
At the beginning of the morning, Yan Xuting summoned the motorcade and left the east gate.It's more than 200 miles east to return to Huashan. Although the team is slow, we can rest there on the way and arrive tomorrow.
This time he asked for marriage, and he had already known that there would be difficulties. When he was actually rejected, he still felt resentment in his heart.The Jiangxi party finally allowed Peng Xiaobei to escape, and he lost face again in front of his father. If his second brother could drive out the Qingcheng fleet on the Han River, he would be far behind in the race to become the leader.
Qi Xiaofang proposed to marry her, and he was really greedy for her beauty. What man wouldn't love such a beauty?Secondly, Kongtong is one of the Nine Families after all. Although he is too poor to make money, the combat power of the Iron Sword Silver Guard cannot be underestimated.According to his father, when Dian Cangruo became the leader of the alliance, the trade routes were opened in Kongtong, and the Iron Sword Silver Guards were released. Huashan and Tangmen were the first to bear the brunt. From then on, all the bodyguard businesses on the trade routes in Hanzhong and Sichuan were affected by the Silver Guards. .Thinking about it from another level, Kongtong will also be an important supporter of Huashan. If he can marry Kongtong and resolve the grudges in Jiangxi, even if he is just an adopted daughter, it will be enough to shake his father's idea of an heir.As for the second brother, Sister Wanqin is already married. Tang Jueyan has no hope. Juekong is old and his granddaughter is of little value. Who is left?The eldest lady in Qingcheng?Hey, if the eldest brother really marries the younger sister Yinzheng, does this shameless person really want the eldest brother to watch his younger siblings have troubles for the rest of his life?
These are all lies after all, Yan Xuting thought.How to regain this city needs to be carefully considered.If Fang Jingjiu and Zhao Zijing could both stand on their side, the sect's support could barely rival their second brother's, but the rest would be far behind.Fortunately, according to the wishes of the second master's wife, this marriage is not over yet. Let's try it again next year.The convoy traveled east for about fifty miles and passed a slope.The slope is higher on the left side and lower on the right side, with a difference of nearly two feet, and is covered with miscanthus.Four carriages came from the opposite side. They looked very shabby on the outside. A few boards were patched here and there, as if they would fall apart if they were hit. They didn't know what kind of cargo they were transporting, and they looked very heavy.Chidao can accommodate about three carriages passing side by side. These four carriages are two in front and two in back, which is not cramped. However, if they want to miss the Huashan convoy, they will have to collide with each other.
Yan Xuting didn't care, the flag of Huashan was fluttering in the wind.Sure enough, the four carriages changed their formation far away and walked in a straight line, allowing the two teams to pass by each other.Perhaps because they were worried about collision, the four carriages stopped by the road to let the Huashan convoy pass first.
Wu Qiushan and his junior brother Li Zixiu followed the Third Young Master. He is the master of the Sharpshooter Sect. He is 48 years old. He has a slender face and a sharp jaw. His martial arts is much better than Li Zixiu. Like Du Yinsong, he was also recruited to Huashan. Headquarters, so he handed over the sect to his son.Although his status is not as good as that of Giant God Du Yinsong, Dragon-Slaying Jianfang Jingjiu and others, he is still one of the generals Huashan relies on.He saw that there were deep tracks on the ground, showing that he was carrying a heavy load, and the grooms driving the car were all strong men, so he couldn't help but take a second look.But the front and rear of the carriage were sealed, and it was impossible to see what cargo was inside. Wu Qiushan frowned, feeling suspicious, and told Li Zixiu: "Stay behind and watch these four cars."
Li Zixiu slowed down his horse and fell behind. When he saw the four carriages waiting for the convoy to pass by, he started to move forward.Seeing that nothing happened, he thought to himself: "Senior brother, you are really worrying too much. Who dares to offend the convoy of the nine families?" Just as he was about to ride his horse to catch up with Yan Xuting, he couldn't help but look back one more time.
The four carriages walked forward, and then became two by two. When they were about ten feet away from the convoy, they suddenly stopped.From the high place on the left slope, there were two or three people climbing or jumping, and more than ten people jumped down - it turned out that there were people crouching on the high place!The strong man driving the car pulled the reins and turned the horse's head to the left and right, placing the huge carriages two by two across the road, blocking the road.The carriage opened, and four people jumped out. They took out bows and arrows from the carriage and distributed them to everyone.The groom jumped off the horse, cut the rope, and pulled the horse behind the carriage.
Li Zixiu was shocked and shouted: "There is an ambush!" He galloped towards the carriage.
The 16 people, together with the four people driving the car, and the support who jumped from high places, reached about 40 people. They kept firing arrows. Li Zixiu drew out his spear and danced to block it. Just as he was about to move forward, the second wave of arrows came again.It turned out that these 40 people had been prepared. After hiding in the carriage, a wave of 20 people took turns to release arrows. Although the arrow rain was not dense, the road was narrow and Li Zixiu could not move forward. He also heard someone screaming behind him. He thought it was an arrow, so he had to deflect it. The horse turned around.
When Yan Xuting heard Li Zixiu's shouting, he reined in his horse and looked back. He heard screams from behind and was surprised when Wu Qiushan shouted: "Get the shield!"
After all, the disciples of the sect are well-trained, and orders are passed from one place to another, and the personnel equipped with shields get out of the car and take out their small shields.Yan Xuting heard the loud sound of killing in front of him again, and wanted to look forward, but was blocked by the motorcade and couldn't see clearly.
Wu Qiushan shouted: "Junior brother, come back, protect the young master!" He rode forward.I saw dozens of cavalry about a hundred feet ahead. Although the formation was messy, a group of four cavalry could be vaguely seen blocking the road and preparing to charge into the formation.Wu Qiushan hurriedly shouted again: "The enemy's cavalry is charging into the formation! Keep the convoy to the left, the cavalry will step forward to meet the enemy, and the troops will be at the rear!"
The convoy quickly moved to the left to clear a path, and the disciples on horseback rushed forward with swords in hand, preparing for a head-on collision.Before the two armies handed over, a wave of arrows flew out from behind the horse bandits, and the Huashan riders who were rushing forward were hit by arrows and fell down.
It is common practice for archers to cover cavalry, but the opponent's cavalry just covered up the archers behind them. Wu Qiushan never expected that the horse bandits he met on the road would be so good at fighting. He couldn't help being shocked and shouted: "Phalanx shield! Block it!" "
As soon as the cavalry in front fell, the narrow road immediately became chaotic and many horses fell into the ditch.The horse bandits rushed towards them and slashed with their swords. The Huashan disciples formed a group of five, forming four horizontal lines, facing each other in front and back, raising their small round shields. The dozens of horsemen collided fiercely, but they did not break through the shield formation. Suddenly you I was pushed and squeezed, banging and banging into a ball.
This wave of charge failed unexpectedly. Is it because the horse bandits were poorly trained?Wu Qiushan shouted: "Archer, load the arrow!"
The archers in the center of the team took out their bows and arrows and fired a volley at the enemy cavalry in front. Many people were hit by arrows and fell down. There were still survivors who rushed into the formation and hacked at them randomly.There were dozens of casualties on both sides, with Huashan suffering much greater damage.After the cavalry, sixty or seventy bandits came in with knives, and the two sides fought hand to hand.At this time, the rear of the team was forced by bows and arrows, and there were cavalry in front. The road was narrow, and Wu Qiushan's command could not suppress the chaos for a while.
Yan Xuting cursed: "Damn horse thief, Tai Sui is causing trouble!" Drawing the knife in his hand, he shouted, "Kill!"
Li Zixiu's Jiangxi party was defeated by Peng Xiaobei and Qi Zigai one after another. Just as he was about to take the credit, he took the lead and thrust his silver gun forward, forward and then out, piercing the chest of an oncoming gangster.He wanted to show off his power, and with one move of his hands, he lifted the man high and threw him far away.
Wu Qiushan's thoughts were racing. There were many enemy troops in the front. Although there were bows and arrows in the rear, the number was small. All he had to do was rush out. He hurriedly shouted: "The front army is holding back! Archers are back and release arrows!"
The archer hurriedly stepped back, loaded his bow and arrows, and fired at each other.The horse bandit archers who were blocking the rear saw the opponent's return fire, abandoned their bows and arrows, held shields with both hands, covered themselves and their companions' heads, blocked this wave of offensive, and then released arrows in order to return fire.This group of horse thieves was well-equipped, and the range of the two sides was almost the same. They were hiding behind the carriages, so it was difficult for Huashan to gain an advantage.
Wu Qiushan was shocked. He didn't expect that although these gangsters were poorly trained, they could respond to the enemy so thoroughly and quickly. The people behind them were either veterans who were accustomed to fighting, or they were rare talents.But now is not the time to admire the enemy. If this continues, they will be trapped front and rear, and the formation will be chaotic, and they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Yan Xuting also noticed that the situation was not good and asked, "Uncle Wu, what should we do now?"
Wu Qiushan shouted: "The rear troops charge into the formation, and the shield troops cover it!"
The bandits blocked the archery team behind them, which was only ten feet away from them. It was easy for them to get close, but there was a carriage blocking them.At that moment, the shield team rushed out quickly with their shields in front, and the troops followed suit. Although more than ten people were injured, the rest still rushed to the front of the carriage. Three or five people worked together to push out the blocking carriage.Seeing the opponent approaching, the horse bandit archer took a knife from the carriage. The two sides fought for a while, each with casualties.
Wu Qiushan said: "Third Young Master, the rear is weak. Let's turn around and rush out! It's only fifty miles from Tianshui City. If we find the Iron Sword Silver Guards, we won't be afraid of them!"
They were about to rush out when they suddenly remembered that the carriage was still carrying the betrothal gift for this marriage proposal. Yan Xuting gritted his teeth and said: "The road behind is blocked, and the carriage is carrying the betrothal gift and cannot get out! If you leave it behind, it will be robbed!" "Fortunately, the [-] taels of silver he brought were banknotes. Otherwise, the silver weighing [-] kilograms would not be able to be dragged away, but the gold and silver jewelry made of silk, jade and jade cannot be taken away.If you fail to propose marriage, get robbed on the road, and lose all face, what else can you use to compete with your second brother for the leadership?
Wu Qiushan asked: "Master?"
Yan Xuting said: "Charge out! They are just horse bandits. Can't the Huashan disciples win? I'm leaving my face here, can you watch?"
Wu Qiushan looked to the rear. The forty gangsters were obviously low in martial arts. They had already been killed and wounded within a few moments of the battle. Although there was a melee in front of them, he estimated that they might not be unable to win as long as they regrouped. So he raised his gun and said, "Sir, you must move forward. , can boost morale!"
Yan Xuting nodded, raised his sword and shouted: "Everyone, follow me and charge!" After saying that, he rushed out first, and Wu Qiushan followed to cover.The young master took the lead in killing the enemy, and the soldiers of Huashan were refreshed.Wu Qiushan picked out a person and suddenly thought: "They have an ambush at a high place. Are they the only ones who jumped down just now?"
He looked up suddenly, and sure enough he saw a row of more than [-] people standing high on the left side. Their faces were obscured by the light behind them.Wu Qiushan was shocked when he saw one of them jump up suddenly, and the sword light was like a black waterfall in a splash-ink painting, falling towards his head.
Wu Qiushan blocked the shot with his sword horizontally, and the "clang" sound made his arm numb, and he almost dropped the gun. He was so shocked that he never expected that there would be such a top master among the horse bandits.The man was also surprised and shouted: "Okay!" He jumped up with the knife in hand.Wu Qiushan was about to block, but the sword was not directed at him, but at the horse's head. With just one strike, the horse's head was cut open and a large part of it was chopped off diagonally.Only then did Wu Qiushan see the sword master clearly. He had a bald head and a black sword in his hand. Wasn't it...
Yan Xuting had already recognized this person and shouted out loud: "Little Beggar Peng!"
Peng Xiaobei had just summoned up all his strength to strike with the sword. He thought he could kill the enemy general in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, he was caught and the weapon was not lost. Knowing that he was a master, he immediately cut off the horse's head and forced him to dismount and join the fight.Wu Qiu Shan's horse's head was beheaded, he jumped up and fired a carbine in mid-air, like a poisonous snake spitting out a message. Peng Xiaobeg blocked it with his sword, and the beast was approaching. The surrounding Huashan disciples were rushing towards him, how could he stop it from leaving the gate? Tiger?It's just a waste of life.Immediately he joined Wu Qiu Shan's attack.
Over there, Li Zixiu got excited about fighting. He was extremely skilled in martial arts and killed many gangsters one after another. Just as he was about to carve out a bloody path, he suddenly felt a figure shaking above him and a person rushing towards him from a high place.The high ground on the left was only about a foot high. He was riding a horse, very close to each other, and he fell to the ground with this pounce.Li Zixiu rolled away on the ground, and the man punched him. Li Zixiu quickly parried, but felt the weight of the punch was heavy. He saw that it was a middle-aged strong man who did not even use a weapon.He is extremely skilled with spears and can sweep his silver spear around to prevent the opponent from getting closer.
Suddenly, another person shouted angrily: "Beast, I know you!" Li Zixiu saw a knife coming with a fierce momentum and quickly blocked it. Only then did he see a pair of bright red eyes. Isn't it the same one he met in Jiangxi? To exterminate Yang Yan?
The man who knocked down Li Zixiu before was none other than the old man. The two of them joined forces to attack, with Li Zixiu guarding him tightly with spears.With his martial arts, the two of them might not be able to defeat him if they join forces. However, Yang Yan's attack was so fierce that he seemed to be fighting him with every blow. This momentum frightened him.
At this time, another person attacked him with a sword, it was Rao Changsheng.These twenty or so people were all the best in Kung Fu among Raodao Village and Sand Ghost. They immediately cut the Huashan disciples into three sections. They could not be connected from the beginning to the end, and their morale was completely lost. They originally had the upper hand in strength, but were killed and defeated.
Wu Qiu Shan and Peng Xiao Beggar fought with each other for more than ten moves. Peng Xiao Beggar's sword rolled and rolled, like black clouds covering him.Peng Xiaobeg's sword skills were exquisite, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes heavy and sometimes light. Sometimes he blocked the way with his spear and tried his best, but it just seemed to hit a ball of cotton wool, causing him to stumble, and sometimes his arms were shaken. Feeling numb, barely able to hold the gun.He was horrified. This was not as fast as the blink of an eye, so how could it be so delicate?You can only calm down and concentrate on defense, no matter what flaws the opponent reveals, just ignore them.
Yan Xuting saw that Wu Qiushan only defended but did not attack, so he reluctantly supported him. He couldn't help but retreat, and was even more frightened.Looking up, he saw a handsome young man standing high up, looking directly at him. When he looked at this young man, he was stunned for a moment.
Seeing that Wu Qiu Shan was in danger, several Huashan disciples found an opportunity to attack Peng Xiaobeg. Peng Xiaobeg struck back with his sword and killed his opponent with two or three swords. Seven or eight more disciples rushed to surround him.Beggar Peng rushed into the flock like a tiger, charging from left to right and killing three more disciples in an instant.Wu Qiu Shan got free, rolled around, retreated to Yan Xu Ting, and whispered: "Young Master, run away!" Then he stepped forward to stop Peng Xiaobei.
Beggar Peng shouted: "Brother Ming, do it!"
Only then did Yan Xuting wake up from his stupor, and saw the handsome young man on the high place leaping up suddenly, flying towards him as light as catkins sent by the wind.A silver sword swept down in mid-air. Yan Xuting was shocked and waved his sword to block it.An unknown person waved his hand, and the cold light pierced Yan Xuting's calf. Yan Xuting moved his horse to dodge.
As the third son of Huashan, Yan Xuting's martial arts skills are not bad. Although he is not as good as his second brother, he is still much better than his elder brother who is good at writing but not good at martial arts. He is only half as good as the famous Li Zixiu.But facing this handsome young man's strange weapon, he was in a hurry to hide.In the critical moment, his thoughts suddenly turned and he took advantage of the opportunity to dodge and dismounted from his horse. Just as he was about to retreat, the silver light suddenly turned around and rushed towards him, and he quickly blocked it.
The handsome young man held one hand behind his back and swung the weapon with only one hand, advancing step by step with a very leisurely attitude.Yan Xuting saw that he was about the same age as him, but his martial arts skills were incredibly high. He was unable to perform anything with just one hand. He was inexplicably horrified and hurriedly shouted: "Help! Help!"
He is the head of the clan. If there is an accident, everyone present may die. There are many disciples around to protect him and rush to rescue him.He knew that he would not kill anyone, so he was responsible for capturing Yan Xuting. He threw a silver light like a flying firefly around him, and with two swishes, several disciples were injured in their legs and feet, and they all fell to their knees.
With this opening, Yan Xuting rolled and crawled and fled in a hurry, shouting: "Help me! Help me!"
Wu Qiu Shan and Peng Xiao Beg took a few more blows, and were stabbed once in the chest and thigh. Although they were not fatal, they were bleeding profusely.He endured the pain and shouted: "Retreat! Protect the young master! Protect the young master!" After shouting these few words, Peng Xiaobei was kicked in the chest again, and he fell two feet away. If it were not for the disciples who rescued him, he would have died in Peng immediately. The little beggar's knife.
Upon hearing this cry, the remaining Huashan disciples retreated one after another and gathered around Yan Xuting.Li Zixiu fought one against three, and was slashed twice by Yang Yan. Hearing the order, he fought and retreated, and gradually moved closer to Yan Xuting.Rao Changsheng did not pursue him, but shouted loudly: "Purchase goods! Purchase goods!"
This time, the copycats came out in full force, almost risking their lives, just to seize this batch of red goods.This place is only fifty miles away from Tianshui City. If he encounters pursuers, he is afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty, so he hurriedly ordered the cart to be pulled.The old mangy man ordered his men to drive away regardless of the contents of the carriages. Not long after, six or seven carriages left.
The Huashan disciples were eager to retreat and suffered more casualties. Only 200 or [-] of the [-] people were left around Yan Xuting.They were well-trained. The previous battle situation was chaotic, the formation was broken, and morale was low. Now that they had a protection target, they naturally knew how to respond to the enemy. They surrounded Yan Xuting layer by layer. The horse bandit was greedy for power and tried to break in, but was killed instead. Even Peng Xiaobei couldn't kill him for a while.
But this resistance is in vain, and it won't take long for the formation to be broken.

Shen Weichen, Gu Qingshang, and Li Jingfeng came from the end of the galloping road. Li Jingfeng was in front, and Shen Weichen and Gu Qingshang were behind.Li Jingfeng pointed to a small dirt slope: "It's higher there, go up and have a look!"
The three of them rode up the hill. Li Jingfeng looked from a distance and saw that the battle situation seemed to be decided. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The people in Huashan seem to be surrounded."
This place is still two or three miles away from the battlefield. For Shen Weichen and the other two, they can only see a vast darkness. They can vaguely distinguish the two camps. They know that there are heavy casualties, but the rest cannot be seen clearly.
Shen Weichen reined in his horse. Seeing her stop, Li Jingfeng also stopped his horse and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Weichen asked: "Jingfeng, you said that Ming unknown... is really a bad person?"
Gu Qingshang also said: "What you said is too bizarre. How could such a person exist?"
Li Jingfeng lowered his head and said: "I don't believe Brother Ming is this kind of person, but the eldest brother said so, and Mr. Xiao also said so. I...well, I also want to ask him face to face, what are the benefits of doing this..."
Shen Weichen said: "There are people in this world who are willing to do good things without asking for anything in return, and there are also people who do bad things without any reason."
Li Jingfeng shook his head and said: "You don't need a reason to do good things, you need a reason to do bad things. Some people like to bully others, and they bully others to make them happy. Although such people are bad, they are not so bad without reason."
Gu Qingshang said: "I heard that some people like to kill people. They just like to listen to the other person's screams and begging. This is killing people for fun. Although it is disgusting, it is not without reason."
Shen Weichen thought for a while and said, "You are right, even this kind of person has a reason."
Li Jingfeng said: "I am very worried about Brother Yang, afraid that he will be harmed." After saying that, he started to move forward on his horse.Shen Weichen pulled him and said, "You can't be so reckless."
Li Jingfeng asked: "What should we do?"
Shen Weichen said: "You want to help, I know I can't stop you, so I let you come. But now that Senior Peng and the others have won, why are you going? Besides, if Mingwu is really a bad person as you said, he is so scheming. , you brat ran to question him, didn't you remind him to deal with you? Mr. Xiao was forced to escape from Shaolin by him, can you fight him? "
Li Jingfeng thought for a while and said, "I can't fight, but I still have to remind Brother Yang."
Shen Weichen said: "We agreed that if Peng Xiaobei doesn't need your help, you don't get involved. Now that they have won, you just need to wait for them to retreat, follow behind, and find an opportunity to remind Brother Yang."
It turned out that Li Jingfeng was frightened when he heard that the unknown starry night came to see Shen Weichen. He told the two girls about the unknown things he heard from Xiao Qing's hometown. Both women couldn't believe it. There could be such a scheming person in the world?
Li Jingfeng was worried about Yang Yan and had to come to help, but knowing that both Shen Weichen and Gu Qingshang had their scruples, he advised them not to intervene, but Shen Weichen naturally refused.Only then did she realize that telling her about this matter was actually putting her in a dilemma.
Shen Weichen continued: "If Mingwu is really such a bad guy, you can't defeat him." He pointed to the Emei thorn on his waist, "I will help you."
Li Jingfeng quickly waved his hand and refused: "No! It's too dangerous."
Gu Qingshang smiled and said: "There's me too! If Senior Peng believes in us, why can't we catch him even if we don't know the truth?"
Li Jingfeng felt that it made sense, and looked forward again. He saw that the number of people in Huashan was dwindling, and there was obviously no need to intervene. He turned around and said, "Okay, just listen..." In the middle of his words, he was suddenly dumbfounded. Both Shen Weichen and Gu Qingshang were surprised. , looked as far as the eye could see, but could not see any movement.They knew that Li Jingfeng had very good eyesight, so they couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Li Jingfeng said: "Iron Sword Silver Guards! A group of Iron Sword Silver Guards is coming here!"
Gu Qingshang was taken aback and asked, "Did you read that correctly?"
Li Jingfeng said anxiously: "It's really the Iron Sword Silver Guard! I saw it, at least 200 of them!"
Shen Weichen was also surprised when he saw that his expression didn't seem to be fake.Li Jingfeng turned his horse's head and said, "Don't follow me. Don't let Mr. Yan see you. I'll inform Brother Yang!" After that, he galloped towards the battle ring.He already had a grudge against Huashan, and he was not afraid of adding to the enmity.
He ran straight to the outside of the battle circle and saw that the horse thieves were surrounded layer by layer, and there were only fifty or sixty Huashan disciples left.A bald old man has great martial arts skills and is invincible in and out of battle formations. Yang Yan is also fighting with disciples of the sect on the outside, and there is also an unknown young man with another...
Wait, that person is... Rao Changsheng?
He knew that Rao Changsheng thought he had killed Rao Daozi, but he could not hesitate at this time. He galloped forward and shouted: "Quickly retreat! The Iron Sword Silver Guard is coming!"
When Yang Yan saw that it was Li Jingfeng who had arrived, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, then shocked again, and asked: "What did you say?!"
Li Jingfeng reined in his horse and shouted: "The Iron Sword Silver Guard will be here soon! Escape quickly!"
When Rao Changsheng saw Li Jingfeng again, he was shocked and angry. An unknown anger rose from his chest and abdomen. He gritted his teeth and said: "Kill! Kill him!" He pointed his sword at Li Jingfeng and shouted, "Li Jingfeng, I asked you to hit me again today." In my hands! Raodao Shanzhai obeys the order and kills that guy!"
Yang Yan and Li Jingfeng were both shocked. Yang Yan said angrily: "What did you say!"
On the other side, Shen Weichen and Gu Qingshang saw smoke and dust rising, and a large team of people rushed here.Gu Qingshang was shocked: "It's really the Iron Sword Silver Guard!"
Shen Weichen looked back and saw that the horse bandits had not retreated. He couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Why don't you leave?!"
Li Jingfeng was even more anxious and shouted: "The Iron Sword Silver Guard is really here! Let's go quickly!"
Rao Changsheng shouted: "Who are you lying to! Brothers in the village, whoever kills that guy will be rewarded with a hundred silver... no, 300 taels! Quick, kill him!"
Yang Yan dodged his way, stood in front of Rao Changsheng, and shouted angrily: "He is my brother, no one is allowed to touch him!"
Rao Changsheng shouted: "He killed my father! If you help him, I will kill you too!"
Yang Yan said angrily: "I'll fucking kill you first!" After saying that, he slashed at Rao Changsheng with his knife.
The swords were tense at this end of the Chi Road, and at the other end of the Chi Road, the Iron Sword Silver Guards were rushing towards them.
No one noticed that Ming was unknown at this time, with a warm smile on his slightly raised lips.
(End of this chapter)
"You haven't found Xiaoxiao yet?" Madam Chu raised her voice slightly, "Yu'er?"
Shen Yuqing came back to her senses and replied respectfully: "Lao Ji sent someone to send a message, saying that they had met on the Han River. Before he could inform Master Ya, Xiaoxiao left with Miss Gu." He received the message from Ji Shaoguang. I came to discuss it with my mother when I received the letter.
"Why is this girl so wild!" Mrs. Chu complained, "I can't control what Mr. Ji does!"
"Mother." Shen Yuqing called softly.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Chu asked.
"Don't laugh when you say this, my aunt will believe you later." Shen Yuqing said seriously.
"You are getting more and more courageous, do you dare to tease me?" Mrs. Chu laughed, and asked: "What happened just now? Are you worried about your sister? She is the eldest lady of Qingcheng, good at martial arts, and smart, even in Huashan. Nothing big will happen, I guess she will be back before the Chinese New Year, so don’t worry too much."
When Mrs. Ya heard this, she must have rolled her eyes again, Shen Yuqing thought.When Shen Weichen left Qingcheng, it was impossible not to worry, but compared to worrying, maybe he was a little happy.
Happy?Why are you happy?Shen Yuqing thought that, like his mother, he hoped that his sister could go out and see the world more, although he knew it was dangerous.
Shen Yuqing said: "My child is thinking of another thing that Uncle Ji reported, and he wants to retreat all the fleets on the Han River into Hubei."
"What did Lao Yan say?"
"Second Young Master Yan went to see Uncle Ji to ensure that there will be no more boat bandits on the Han River." Shen Yuqing said, "The Xiangyang Gang appreciates our kindness."
"Lao Yan has suffered such a humiliating situation, it's time to hold a grudge again." Mrs. Chu sneered and said, "Yu'er, mother, I still have something to ask you."
Seeing her mother's solemn question, Shen Yuqing calmed down and asked, "Mother, please speak."
"Brother Zhuge sang this big show before the Kunlun meeting. Anyone with a discerning eye knows his intentions." Mrs. Chu asked, "Why are you wading in this muddy water?"
Shen Yuqing was stunned and said: "Dian Cang taking the position of alliance leader is only the first step. He will continue to control the position of alliance leader and modify the rules agreed upon by Kunlun. After that, if he dares to do more excessive things, the world will not It’s peaceful.”
"Knowing that you will offend Dian Cang and Huashan?" Mrs. Chu said, "Yan Feixi captured you in Wudang. Ultimately, it was for this reason. His son's death in the Tang Sect was just an excuse. Almost all sects were sitting and watching, but you were the only one who took the risk. Doing such a thankless job. In fact, in the end, this matter was nothing more than a matter between Dian Cang and Hengshan. Why didn't Hengshan wait for Hengshan to take the initiative to win over? There are still some benefits. "
Shen Yuqing shook his head. He didn't want Hengshan to take the initiative to win over, and acquiescing to the competition between the two factions was equivalent to breaking the current rules. If the rules were messed up, anything could happen.
"Mother understands what you are saying. What she is asking is your reason. Is it your sworn brother Mr. Xie who persuades you?"
Shen Yuqing thought for a while, then slowly said: "I am doing it for the people of Qingcheng."
Mrs. Chu remained silent. After a long time, Shen Yuqing asked softly: "Mother, do you think the child is reckless?"
Chu Jingtan was silent for a moment and said, "Mom is proud to have a son like you."
Shen Yuqing was deeply moved, and felt that all the planning he had been doing during this time suddenly became valuable. He smiled and said, "Mom, don't praise me. Mom can be proud, but I can't."
Chu Jingtan smiled and said: "I have such a good son, can't you praise me a little? Go down and wait for your father to finish approving the official documents. You can discuss with him whether to recall Ji Shaoguang."
"Don't recall Ji Shaoguang yet," Xie Gubai said.
Shen Yuqing left Qiantang, returned to the study, and immediately summoned Xie Gubai for discussion.
"The Han River is within the borders of Huashan and Wudang." Shen Yuqing said, "It's not good for an army to go deep alone and stay there for a long time. Since Huashan has been forced to make concessions and won't be recalled, what are you going to do there?"
"The Xiangyang Gang will help us take care of it." Xie Gubai said, "The Xiangyang Gang is willing to help with food, equipment, baggage, and ship maintenance and repairs."
Is there such a good thing?Although Qingcheng helped Xiangyang clear the waterway and gave up the benefits of Yangtze River water transportation, was he willing to bear the expenses of this army?Shen Yuqing felt that there must be something inside that she didn't know about.
"Mr. Xie, do you have any private agreement with Gang Leader Yu?"
"Wudang is unreliable. The Xiangyang Gang needs strong backers." Xie Gubai said, "I promised Gang Leader Yu that if there is chaos, Qingcheng will protect the Xiangyang Gang."
"This is going too far." Shen Yuqing said, "We have already asked them to carry the banner of Qingcheng, isn't it enough?"
"Yu Jien will not believe in a flag, he believes in ships." Xie Gubai said, "He will hope that the ships in Qingcheng will stay in the Han River, and Wudang will not care anyway."
"And we need this fleet to stay in the Han River." As if he was afraid that Shen Yuqing would become suspicious, Xie Gubai continued, "Based on the current situation, the defeat of Kunlun Diancang is certain this time. I'm afraid that Deputy Zhuge Zhang has other ideas. This fleet can act as a threat and keep an eye on Hanzhong."
Zhuge Ran is a first-class powerful person. Shen Yuqing naturally knows that he will not sit still and wait for death, but she can't figure out how to bring him back to life. Xie Gubai's words sound reasonable.
But it's not convincing enough.If it was just like this, when he arranged to change ships with the Xiangyang Gang and let Ji Shaoguang lead the troops, he should have raised the issue instead of waiting for him to ask questions.
Shen Yuqing thought of Wudang and his party. Perhaps under his nose, his eldest brother had other transactions with Gang Leader Yu...
"Brother, what else are you hiding from me?" He decided not to speculate anymore and asked Xie Gubai directly, "What deal did you make with Gang Leader Yu?"
Xie Gubai was silent for a long time before replying: "Gang Leader Yu hopes that Qingcheng can keep the Xiangyang Gang safe forever."
Shen Yuqing was shocked. How could he not understand the meaning of these words? Wasn't this about bringing the Xiangyang Gang under Qingcheng's command?This is encroaching on Wudang’s territory!He couldn't help but stand up and said: "Brother, this can't be done! No matter how stupid Wudang is, there is no way he will agree! To invade the territory, there will be a battle, and it is our fault to have a Kunlun discussion!"
Xie Gubai said: "I knew you wouldn't agree, so I hid it from you."
Shen Yuqing said: "You shouldn't take matters into your own hands! You..." Shen Yuqing was speechless for a moment. This fact was too serious. He never expected that Xie Gubai would be so bold.
"We need the Xiangyang Gang now, so I can only agree." Xie Gubai said, "I know that if I tell my second brother about this, you will definitely refuse, so I can only make my own decision. This is an expedient measure."
"An expedient measure?" Shen Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then understood, "What the eldest brother means is that when the matter is settled, Qingcheng will not be included in the Xiangyang Gang?"
"It's your own decision, as long as you give me the corresponding punishment." Xie Gubai smiled lightly, calmly.It's not self-confidence, it's the indifference of not caring or caring, as if it's a trivial matter.
"Didn't this deceive the Xiangyang Gang?" Shen Yuqing said.This is not the way to make allies.
"Second brother didn't lie to him, I lied to him. I will talk to Gang Leader Yu again. The Xiangyang Gang still needs Qingcheng, and Qingcheng will take care of him. He will not embarrass me."
"When will Uncle Ji's fleet be transferred back?"
"The fastest we have to wait for is the end of the Kunlun Conference." Xie Gubai said: "Big things cannot be decided in one day, so we need this fleet to stay on the Han River."
Shen Yuqing was a little unhappy, but he knew very well that Xie Gubai's arrangement was right. Even before he ordered the ship to sail into the Han River to avenge Xiao Xiao, he had already dispatched his troops in advance and reached a deal with Yu Jien.If the Kunlun consensus really changes, they really need this fleet in order to stop Huashan.
But why didn't he say it and kept it from himself?Is it really just because you know you will never agree?
After discussing the follow-up with Shen Yuqing, Xie Gubai left Junzi Pavilion.
He did use expedient measures, but not necessarily against Shen Yuqing.
Shen Yuqing is a kind person, kind and smart, Xie Gubai knows it very well.He raised his head, and Qingcheng's flag was flying above Juntian Palace.Bamboo is a gentleman and sword is a sharp weapon. Bamboo and sword are the flag of Qingcheng.
He is already a gentleman, when will he become a sharp sword?

Shen Weichen was very surprised, how could Jingfeng's friend find him, especially late at night.
"Why did the young master come to visit me late at night?" She couldn't help but feel a little wary, "How did the young master know that I was here?"
"I'll see you in the afternoon." Ming said vaguely, "I'll see you near the Huashan convoy when exploring the road in the afternoon."
Shen Weichen asked suspiciously: "Exploring the way?"
Ming unknownly said: "That was the convoy that Huashan was proposing to the third master's daughter. Brother Yang and Senior Peng led a group of horse thieves. They wanted to rob the betrothal gifts in the past two days. They also wanted to kidnap the leader, Mr. Yan San, and use him as a hostage. , in exchange for Senior Peng’s grandson.”
This matter is not trivial. Shen Weichen was shocked and had many doubts. He asked: "Young master talked about exploring the road, could he be involved in it?"
Ming nodded uncertainly: "I want to help Brother Yang."
Shen Weichen asked again: "Young master came here specifically to ask us to help?" He hesitated when he asked this question. Huashan and Qingcheng already had a grudge. If they helped Peng Xiaobei kidnap Yan San, how could he still pay it off?But if the other party asks for help, should you refuse?She remembered something again and asked, "Young master has also seen Jingfeng. Why don't you go to him and come to me instead?"
"I'm here just because of Brother Jingfeng's affairs." Ming said vaguely, "Why didn't Ms. Shen take Brother Jingfeng back to Qingcheng?"
"Jingfeng doesn't want to go back." Shen Weichen shook his head and said, "I can't force him."
Ming Wuxiang looked at Shen Weichen, and then said after a while: "If we don't bring him back to Qingcheng, Miss Shen will not be able to protect him all the time. He will die sooner or later, in a few months at the earliest and in a few years at the earliest. Unless Brother Jingfeng joins Ye Bang." He then shook his head and said, "With his skills, Ye Bang looks down on him, and he is not that kind of person. At most, he can only be a dead soldier in the Night Bang, dying for a mission he is willing to take on. .”
These words made Shen Weichen worried, and she asked: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"I don't know." Ming Wuxi thought for a moment, then continued, "Brother Jingfeng and Huashan had a grudge because they rescued Mr. Shen. Unless this grudge can be resolved, Huashan will never let Jingfeng go. I care about Jingfeng. Brother Feng, that’s why I came here to ask you. Please keep the matter of the girl’s meeting with me a secret. Tomorrow’s events will be dangerous, and I don’t want Jingfeng to get involved.”
Shen Weichen said "hmm" and said, "Thank you."
After Ming Wuxiang left, Shen Weichen closed the door, lit the lamp, and meditated, thinking: "Senior Peng wants to rob the Huashan convoy, which is too dangerous. But with Peng Xiaobei's martial arts experience and martial arts, maybe he can It can really happen."
Suddenly, she had a thought in her mind. She said that she wanted to resolve the hatred between Huashan and Jingfeng. If she took Jingfeng to rescue Mr. Yan and brought him back to Huashan, could Master Yan not accept this sentiment?Huashan and Songshan are family friends. The Yan family and Qingcheng came forward to seek protection, and even the Taishan sect's hatred petition was withdrawn. As long as they did not step into Kongtong, wouldn't the scenery be in danger?
If it is feasible or not, Jingfeng is kind to Yang Yan, and Qingcheng has also helped Peng Xiaobei. If he really wants to take action, he will definitely have to give in. If this thing is done, not only will Jingfeng be safe, but also the situation will be improved. Eliminate the conflict between Qingcheng and Huashan, killing two birds with one stone.
However, this idea only flashed through Shen Weichen's mind. It was one of the many possibilities she had imagined, and she never seriously considered it.No matter how unjust the Yan family was, Yan Xuting was the one who led the way in destroying the Peng family that day. He had no reason to stop Peng Xiaobei from saving his grandson.To take a step back, I knew that a big war was coming and many people would be killed and injured, but I didn't stop it beforehand. Instead, I used it to take credit to help Jingfeng. Not to mention that Jingfeng didn't agree, even I couldn't have done such a thing.
If Young Master Yan is reminded to take a detour, I am afraid that the other party may not give up and may collude with Iron Sword Silver Guard to kill Peng Xiaobei.If he did this kind of thing just to save Jingfeng, I'm afraid Jingfeng would look down on him for the rest of his life.
But should he tell Jingfeng that Mingwu came to see him?If it is said, Jingfeng might go to help Yang Yan. Originally it was just a wanted order issued by Songshan, but now there is an additional arrest warrant against Huashan, and Jingfeng's situation will only become more difficult.He was in danger, and she and Gu Qingshang couldn't interfere. She thought, since everything was in trouble, it would be better to just pretend not to know about it and wait and see how things develop.
As soon as she lay down on the bed, she thought again: "Senior Peng and Yang Yan led a group of bandits, can they really deal with the disciples of Huashan? Even if Peng Xiaobei is a strong martial artist, how do you know that Huashan has not sent a general to protect him? If there is an accident tomorrow, Peng Aren’t the old beggar’s families about to lose another bloodline?”
This second thought added to her worry. She was still hesitant about what to do tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Shen Weichen went to inquire first and learned that Yan Xuting's escorts this time were Wu Qiushan and Fei Ying Li Zixiu.Wu Qiushan is Li Zixiu's senior brother and master Ji Shaoguang's brother-in-law. He is nicknamed "Silver Spear" and is the current head of the Gunslinger Sect.The Shenqiang Sect is also a sect under Huashan. Wu Qiushan's reputation in the world is not as good as that of Fang Jingjiu, Du Yinsong, Zhao Zijing and others, so I don't know how good his skills are.
As Yan Xuting, he should accept hospitality at Xingxiu Gate, but it is impossible for all the accompanying guards to live in the sect.Shen Weichen went around the inn where the Huashan disciples stayed and estimated that there were at least [-] guards on this trip. Although he didn't know their quality, they must be better than the horse bandits.
Senior Peng leads a group of horse thieves, is there any way to defeat them?Shen Weichen was not sure.She returned to the inn, and Li Jingfeng was wanted. He hid in the room and drank porridge. When the three of them met, Gu Qingshang asked, "Where did the girl go? She was nowhere to be seen early in the morning."
Shen Weichen said: "It's okay. I'm afraid that the Huashan group of people will wander around the city and bump into the scenery. I went out for a walk."
Gu Qingshang pinched her chin, looked at Shen Weichen and said, "Why is this girl so careful and thinks so thoroughly about everything?"
Tianshui is a big city in Gansu, and it was inconvenient for Li Jingfeng to stay for a long time, so the three of them rode out of the city and headed west.Shen Weichen thought to herself: "Huashan's convoy is heading east, so we won't hit it." She was thinking all the way, but she was uneasy, and suddenly she heard Gu Qingshang shouting: "Sister, be careful!"
Shen Weichen suddenly woke up and realized that he had almost walked into the ditch and stopped his horse in a hurry.Gu Qingshang asked: "What's wrong with the girl? She's been in a state of shock since she left the city."
Shen Weichen said: "It's okay..."
Gu Qingshang frowned and said, "My little sister is not a person who hides her inner thoughts. Did she get some ideas this morning and hear some news?"
Shen Weichen looked at Li Jingfeng and saw that he was also looking at him with confusion.An idea flashed through her, and she suddenly figured it out: "How can I do this? How can I make the decision for Jingfeng? It doesn't matter whether he helps or not, as long as I am by his side, I will try my best to protect him." Then she said: "Yesterday That night your Ming Ming brother came to see me."
Li Jingfeng was shocked and asked quickly: "What did he say to my little sister?"
Shen Weichen said: "He said that Peng Xiaobei and Brother Yang are going to rob the Huashan convoy today."
Li Jingfeng and Gu Qingshang exclaimed at the same time.
※ ※ ※
At the beginning of the morning, Yan Xuting summoned the motorcade and left the east gate.It's more than 200 miles east to return to Huashan. Although the team is slow, we can rest there on the way and arrive tomorrow.
This time he asked for marriage, and he had already known that there would be difficulties. When he was actually rejected, he still felt resentment in his heart.The Jiangxi party finally allowed Peng Xiaobei to escape, and he lost face again in front of his father. If his second brother could drive out the Qingcheng fleet on the Han River, he would be far behind in the race to become the leader.
Qi Xiaofang proposed to marry her, and he was really greedy for her beauty. What man wouldn't love such a beauty?Secondly, Kongtong is one of the Nine Families after all. Although he is too poor to make money, the combat power of the Iron Sword Silver Guard cannot be underestimated.According to his father, when Dian Cangruo became the leader of the alliance, the trade routes were opened in Kongtong, and the Iron Sword Silver Guards were released. Huashan and Tangmen were the first to bear the brunt. From then on, all the bodyguard businesses on the trade routes in Hanzhong and Sichuan were affected by the Silver Guards. .Thinking about it from another level, Kongtong will also be an important supporter of Huashan. If he can marry Kongtong and resolve the grudges in Jiangxi, even if he is just an adopted daughter, it will be enough to shake his father's idea of an heir.As for the second brother, Sister Wanqin is already married. Tang Jueyan has no hope. Juekong is old and his granddaughter is of little value. Who is left?The eldest lady in Qingcheng?Hey, if the eldest brother really marries the younger sister Yinzheng, does this shameless person really want the eldest brother to watch his younger siblings have troubles for the rest of his life?
These are all lies after all, Yan Xuting thought.How to regain this city needs to be carefully considered.If Fang Jingjiu and Zhao Zijing could both stand on their side, the sect's support could barely rival their second brother's, but the rest would be far behind.Fortunately, according to the wishes of the second master's wife, this marriage is not over yet. Let's try it again next year.The convoy traveled east for about fifty miles and passed a slope.The slope is higher on the left side and lower on the right side, with a difference of nearly two feet, and is covered with miscanthus.Four carriages came from the opposite side. They looked very shabby on the outside. A few boards were patched here and there, as if they would fall apart if they were hit. They didn't know what kind of cargo they were transporting, and they looked very heavy.Chidao can accommodate about three carriages passing side by side. These four carriages are two in front and two in back, which is not cramped. However, if they want to miss the Huashan convoy, they will have to collide with each other.
Yan Xuting didn't care, the flag of Huashan was fluttering in the wind.Sure enough, the four carriages changed their formation far away and walked in a straight line, allowing the two teams to pass by each other.Perhaps because they were worried about collision, the four carriages stopped by the road to let the Huashan convoy pass first.
Wu Qiushan and his junior brother Li Zixiu followed the Third Young Master. He is the master of the Sharpshooter Sect. He is 48 years old. He has a slender face and a sharp jaw. His martial arts is much better than Li Zixiu. Like Du Yinsong, he was also recruited to Huashan. Headquarters, so he handed over the sect to his son.Although his status is not as good as that of Giant God Du Yinsong, Dragon-Slaying Jianfang Jingjiu and others, he is still one of the generals Huashan relies on.He saw that there were deep tracks on the ground, showing that he was carrying a heavy load, and the grooms driving the car were all strong men, so he couldn't help but take a second look.But the front and rear of the carriage were sealed, and it was impossible to see what cargo was inside. Wu Qiushan frowned, feeling suspicious, and told Li Zixiu: "Stay behind and watch these four cars."
Li Zixiu slowed down his horse and fell behind. When he saw the four carriages waiting for the convoy to pass by, he started to move forward.Seeing that nothing happened, he thought to himself: "Senior brother, you are really worrying too much. Who dares to offend the convoy of the nine families?" Just as he was about to ride his horse to catch up with Yan Xuting, he couldn't help but look back one more time.
The four carriages walked forward, and then became two by two. When they were about ten feet away from the convoy, they suddenly stopped.From the high place on the left slope, there were two or three people climbing or jumping, and more than ten people jumped down - it turned out that there were people crouching on the high place!The strong man driving the car pulled the reins and turned the horse's head to the left and right, placing the huge carriages two by two across the road, blocking the road.The carriage opened, and four people jumped out. They took out bows and arrows from the carriage and distributed them to everyone.The groom jumped off the horse, cut the rope, and pulled the horse behind the carriage.
Li Zixiu was shocked and shouted: "There is an ambush!" He galloped towards the carriage.
The 16 people, together with the four people driving the car, and the support who jumped from high places, reached about 40 people. They kept firing arrows. Li Zixiu drew out his spear and danced to block it. Just as he was about to move forward, the second wave of arrows came again.It turned out that these 40 people had been prepared. After hiding in the carriage, a wave of 20 people took turns to release arrows. Although the arrow rain was not dense, the road was narrow and Li Zixiu could not move forward. He also heard someone screaming behind him. He thought it was an arrow, so he had to deflect it. The horse turned around.
When Yan Xuting heard Li Zixiu's shouting, he reined in his horse and looked back. He heard screams from behind and was surprised when Wu Qiushan shouted: "Get the shield!"
After all, the disciples of the sect are well-trained, and orders are passed from one place to another, and the personnel equipped with shields get out of the car and take out their small shields.Yan Xuting heard the loud sound of killing in front of him again, and wanted to look forward, but was blocked by the motorcade and couldn't see clearly.
Wu Qiushan shouted: "Junior brother, come back, protect the young master!" He rode forward.I saw dozens of cavalry about a hundred feet ahead. Although the formation was messy, a group of four cavalry could be vaguely seen blocking the road and preparing to charge into the formation.Wu Qiushan hurriedly shouted again: "The enemy's cavalry is charging into the formation! Keep the convoy to the left, the cavalry will step forward to meet the enemy, and the troops will be at the rear!"
The convoy quickly moved to the left to clear a path, and the disciples on horseback rushed forward with swords in hand, preparing for a head-on collision.Before the two armies handed over, a wave of arrows flew out from behind the horse bandits, and the Huashan riders who were rushing forward were hit by arrows and fell down.
It is common practice for archers to cover cavalry, but the opponent's cavalry just covered up the archers behind them. Wu Qiushan never expected that the horse bandits he met on the road would be so good at fighting. He couldn't help being shocked and shouted: "Phalanx shield! Block it!" "
As soon as the cavalry in front fell, the narrow road immediately became chaotic and many horses fell into the ditch.The horse bandits rushed towards them and slashed with their swords. The Huashan disciples formed a group of five, forming four horizontal lines, facing each other in front and back, raising their small round shields. The dozens of horsemen collided fiercely, but they did not break through the shield formation. Suddenly you I was pushed and squeezed, banging and banging into a ball.
This wave of charge failed unexpectedly. Is it because the horse bandits were poorly trained?Wu Qiushan shouted: "Archer, load the arrow!"
The archers in the center of the team took out their bows and arrows and fired a volley at the enemy cavalry in front. Many people were hit by arrows and fell down. There were still survivors who rushed into the formation and hacked at them randomly.There were dozens of casualties on both sides, with Huashan suffering much greater damage.After the cavalry, sixty or seventy bandits came in with knives, and the two sides fought hand to hand.At this time, the rear of the team was forced by bows and arrows, and there were cavalry in front. The road was narrow, and Wu Qiushan's command could not suppress the chaos for a while.
Yan Xuting cursed: "Damn horse thief, Tai Sui is causing trouble!" Drawing the knife in his hand, he shouted, "Kill!"
Li Zixiu's Jiangxi party was defeated by Peng Xiaobei and Qi Zigai one after another. Just as he was about to take the credit, he took the lead and thrust his silver gun forward, forward and then out, piercing the chest of an oncoming gangster.He wanted to show off his power, and with one move of his hands, he lifted the man high and threw him far away.
Wu Qiushan's thoughts were racing. There were many enemy troops in the front. Although there were bows and arrows in the rear, the number was small. All he had to do was rush out. He hurriedly shouted: "The front army is holding back! Archers are back and release arrows!"
The archer hurriedly stepped back, loaded his bow and arrows, and fired at each other.The horse bandit archers who were blocking the rear saw the opponent's return fire, abandoned their bows and arrows, held shields with both hands, covered themselves and their companions' heads, blocked this wave of offensive, and then released arrows in order to return fire.This group of horse thieves was well-equipped, and the range of the two sides was almost the same. They were hiding behind the carriages, so it was difficult for Huashan to gain an advantage.
Wu Qiushan was shocked. He didn't expect that although these gangsters were poorly trained, they could respond to the enemy so thoroughly and quickly. The people behind them were either veterans who were accustomed to fighting, or they were rare talents.But now is not the time to admire the enemy. If this continues, they will be trapped front and rear, and the formation will be chaotic, and they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Yan Xuting also noticed that the situation was not good and asked, "Uncle Wu, what should we do now?"
Wu Qiushan shouted: "The rear troops charge into the formation, and the shield troops cover it!"
The bandits blocked the archery team behind them, which was only ten feet away from them. It was easy for them to get close, but there was a carriage blocking them.At that moment, the shield team rushed out quickly with their shields in front, and the troops followed suit. Although more than ten people were injured, the rest still rushed to the front of the carriage. Three or five people worked together to push out the blocking carriage.Seeing the opponent approaching, the horse bandit archer took a knife from the carriage. The two sides fought for a while, each with casualties.
Wu Qiushan said: "Third Young Master, the rear is weak. Let's turn around and rush out! It's only fifty miles from Tianshui City. If we find the Iron Sword Silver Guards, we won't be afraid of them!"
They were about to rush out when they suddenly remembered that the carriage was still carrying the betrothal gift for this marriage proposal. Yan Xuting gritted his teeth and said: "The road behind is blocked, and the carriage is carrying the betrothal gift and cannot get out! If you leave it behind, it will be robbed!" "Fortunately, the [-] taels of silver he brought were banknotes. Otherwise, the silver weighing [-] kilograms would not be able to be dragged away, but the gold and silver jewelry made of silk, jade and jade cannot be taken away.If you fail to propose marriage, get robbed on the road, and lose all face, what else can you use to compete with your second brother for the leadership?
Wu Qiushan asked: "Master?"
Yan Xuting said: "Charge out! They are just horse bandits. Can't the Huashan disciples win? I'm leaving my face here, can you watch?"
Wu Qiushan looked to the rear. The forty gangsters were obviously low in martial arts. They had already been killed and wounded within a few moments of the battle. Although there was a melee in front of them, he estimated that they might not be unable to win as long as they regrouped. So he raised his gun and said, "Sir, you must move forward. , can boost morale!"
Yan Xuting nodded, raised his sword and shouted: "Everyone, follow me and charge!" After saying that, he rushed out first, and Wu Qiushan followed to cover.The young master took the lead in killing the enemy, and the soldiers of Huashan were refreshed.Wu Qiushan picked out a person and suddenly thought: "They have an ambush at a high place. Are they the only ones who jumped down just now?"
He looked up suddenly, and sure enough he saw a row of more than [-] people standing high on the left side. Their faces were obscured by the light behind them.Wu Qiushan was shocked when he saw one of them jump up suddenly, and the sword light was like a black waterfall in a splash-ink painting, falling towards his head.
Wu Qiushan blocked the shot with his sword horizontally, and the "clang" sound made his arm numb, and he almost dropped the gun. He was so shocked that he never expected that there would be such a top master among the horse bandits.The man was also surprised and shouted: "Okay!" He jumped up with the knife in hand.Wu Qiushan was about to block, but the sword was not directed at him, but at the horse's head. With just one strike, the horse's head was cut open and a large part of it was chopped off diagonally.Only then did Wu Qiushan see the sword master clearly. He had a bald head and a black sword in his hand. Wasn't it...
Yan Xuting had already recognized this person and shouted out loud: "Little Beggar Peng!"
Peng Xiaobei had just summoned up all his strength to strike with the sword. He thought he could kill the enemy general in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, he was caught and the weapon was not lost. Knowing that he was a master, he immediately cut off the horse's head and forced him to dismount and join the fight.Wu Qiu Shan's horse's head was beheaded, he jumped up and fired a carbine in mid-air, like a poisonous snake spitting out a message. Peng Xiaobeg blocked it with his sword, and the beast was approaching. The surrounding Huashan disciples were rushing towards him, how could he stop it from leaving the gate? Tiger?It's just a waste of life.Immediately he joined Wu Qiu Shan's attack.
Over there, Li Zixiu got excited about fighting. He was extremely skilled in martial arts and killed many gangsters one after another. Just as he was about to carve out a bloody path, he suddenly felt a figure shaking above him and a person rushing towards him from a high place.The high ground on the left was only about a foot high. He was riding a horse, very close to each other, and he fell to the ground with this pounce.Li Zixiu rolled away on the ground, and the man punched him. Li Zixiu quickly parried, but felt the weight of the punch was heavy. He saw that it was a middle-aged strong man who did not even use a weapon.He is extremely skilled with spears and can sweep his silver spear around to prevent the opponent from getting closer.
Suddenly, another person shouted angrily: "Beast, I know you!" Li Zixiu saw a knife coming with a fierce momentum and quickly blocked it. Only then did he see a pair of bright red eyes. Isn't it the same one he met in Jiangxi? To exterminate Yang Yan?
The man who knocked down Li Zixiu before was none other than the old man. The two of them joined forces to attack, with Li Zixiu guarding him tightly with spears.With his martial arts, the two of them might not be able to defeat him if they join forces. However, Yang Yan's attack was so fierce that he seemed to be fighting him with every blow. This momentum frightened him.
At this time, another person attacked him with a sword, it was Rao Changsheng.These twenty or so people were all the best in Kung Fu among Raodao Village and Sand Ghost. They immediately cut the Huashan disciples into three sections. They could not be connected from the beginning to the end, and their morale was completely lost. They originally had the upper hand in strength, but were killed and defeated.
Wu Qiu Shan and Peng Xiao Beggar fought with each other for more than ten moves. Peng Xiao Beggar's sword rolled and rolled, like black clouds covering him.Peng Xiaobeg's sword skills were exquisite, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes heavy and sometimes light. Sometimes he blocked the way with his spear and tried his best, but it just seemed to hit a ball of cotton wool, causing him to stumble, and sometimes his arms were shaken. Feeling numb, barely able to hold the gun.He was horrified. This was not as fast as the blink of an eye, so how could it be so delicate?You can only calm down and concentrate on defense, no matter what flaws the opponent reveals, just ignore them.
Yan Xuting saw that Wu Qiushan only defended but did not attack, so he reluctantly supported him. He couldn't help but retreat, and was even more frightened.Looking up, he saw a handsome young man standing high up, looking directly at him. When he looked at this young man, he was stunned for a moment.
Seeing that Wu Qiu Shan was in danger, several Huashan disciples found an opportunity to attack Peng Xiaobeg. Peng Xiaobeg struck back with his sword and killed his opponent with two or three swords. Seven or eight more disciples rushed to surround him.Beggar Peng rushed into the flock like a tiger, charging from left to right and killing three more disciples in an instant.Wu Qiu Shan got free, rolled around, retreated to Yan Xu Ting, and whispered: "Young Master, run away!" Then he stepped forward to stop Peng Xiaobei.
Beggar Peng shouted: "Brother Ming, do it!"
Only then did Yan Xuting wake up from his stupor, and saw the handsome young man on the high place leaping up suddenly, flying towards him as light as catkins sent by the wind.A silver sword swept down in mid-air. Yan Xuting was shocked and waved his sword to block it.An unknown person waved his hand, and the cold light pierced Yan Xuting's calf. Yan Xuting moved his horse to dodge.
As the third son of Huashan, Yan Xuting's martial arts skills are not bad. Although he is not as good as his second brother, he is still much better than his elder brother who is good at writing but not good at martial arts. He is only half as good as the famous Li Zixiu.But facing this handsome young man's strange weapon, he was in a hurry to hide.In the critical moment, his thoughts suddenly turned and he took advantage of the opportunity to dodge and dismounted from his horse. Just as he was about to retreat, the silver light suddenly turned around and rushed towards him, and he quickly blocked it.
The handsome young man held one hand behind his back and swung the weapon with only one hand, advancing step by step with a very leisurely attitude.Yan Xuting saw that he was about the same age as him, but his martial arts skills were incredibly high. He was unable to perform anything with just one hand. He was inexplicably horrified and hurriedly shouted: "Help! Help!"
He is the head of the clan. If there is an accident, everyone present may die. There are many disciples around to protect him and rush to rescue him.He knew that he would not kill anyone, so he was responsible for capturing Yan Xuting. He threw a silver light like a flying firefly around him, and with two swishes, several disciples were injured in their legs and feet, and they all fell to their knees.
With this opening, Yan Xuting rolled and crawled and fled in a hurry, shouting: "Help me! Help me!"
Wu Qiu Shan and Peng Xiao Beg took a few more blows, and were stabbed once in the chest and thigh. Although they were not fatal, they were bleeding profusely.He endured the pain and shouted: "Retreat! Protect the young master! Protect the young master!" After shouting these few words, Peng Xiaobei was kicked in the chest again, and he fell two feet away. If it were not for the disciples who rescued him, he would have died in Peng immediately. The little beggar's knife.
Upon hearing this cry, the remaining Huashan disciples retreated one after another and gathered around Yan Xuting.Li Zixiu fought one against three, and was slashed twice by Yang Yan. Hearing the order, he fought and retreated, and gradually moved closer to Yan Xuting.Rao Changsheng did not pursue him, but shouted loudly: "Purchase goods! Purchase goods!"
This time, the copycats came out in full force, almost risking their lives, just to seize this batch of red goods.This place is only fifty miles away from Tianshui City. If he encounters pursuers, he is afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty, so he hurriedly ordered the cart to be pulled.The old mangy man ordered his men to drive away regardless of the contents of the carriages. Not long after, six or seven carriages left.
The Huashan disciples were eager to retreat and suffered more casualties. Only 200 or [-] of the [-] people were left around Yan Xuting.They were well-trained. The previous battle situation was chaotic, the formation was broken, and morale was low. Now that they had a protection target, they naturally knew how to respond to the enemy. They surrounded Yan Xuting layer by layer. The horse bandit was greedy for power and tried to break in, but was killed instead. Even Peng Xiaobei couldn't kill him for a while.
But this resistance is in vain, and it won't take long for the formation to be broken.
※ ※ ※
Shen Weichen, Gu Qingshang, and Li Jingfeng came from the end of the galloping road. Li Jingfeng was in front, and Shen Weichen and Gu Qingshang were behind.Li Jingfeng pointed to a small dirt slope: "It's higher there, go up and have a look!"
The three of them rode up the hill. Li Jingfeng looked from a distance and saw that the battle situation seemed to be decided. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The people in Huashan seem to be surrounded."
This place is still two or three miles away from the battlefield. For Shen Weichen and the other two, they can only see a vast darkness. They can vaguely distinguish the two camps. They know that there are heavy casualties, but the rest cannot be seen clearly.
Shen Weichen reined in his horse. Seeing her stop, Li Jingfeng also stopped his horse and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Weichen asked: "Jingfeng, you said that Ming unknown... is really a bad person?"
Gu Qingshang also said: "What you said is too bizarre. How could such a person exist?"
Li Jingfeng lowered his head and said: "I don't believe Brother Ming is this kind of person, but the eldest brother said so, and Mr. Xiao also said so. I...well, I also want to ask him face to face, what are the benefits of doing this..."
Shen Weichen said: "There are people in this world who are willing to do good things without asking for anything in return, and there are also people who do bad things without any reason."
Li Jingfeng shook his head and said: "You don't need a reason to do good things, you need a reason to do bad things. Some people like to bully others, and they bully others to make them happy. Although such people are bad, they are not so bad without reason."
Gu Qingshang said: "I heard that some people like to kill people. They just like to listen to the other person's screams and begging. This is killing people for fun. Although it is disgusting, it is not without reason."
Shen Weichen thought for a while and said, "You are right, even this kind of person has a reason."
Li Jingfeng said: "I am very worried about Brother Yang, afraid that he will be harmed." After saying that, he started to move forward on his horse.Shen Weichen pulled him and said, "You can't be so reckless."
Li Jingfeng asked: "What should we do?"
Shen Weichen said: "You want to help, I know I can't stop you, so I let you come. But now that Senior Peng and the others have won, why are you going? Besides, if Mingwu is really a bad person as you said, he is so scheming. , you brat ran to question him, didn't you remind him to deal with you? Mr. Xiao was forced to escape from Shaolin by him, can you fight him? "
Li Jingfeng thought for a while and said, "I can't fight, but I still have to remind Brother Yang."
Shen Weichen said: "We agreed that if Peng Xiaobei doesn't need your help, you don't get involved. Now that they have won, you just need to wait for them to retreat, follow behind, and find an opportunity to remind Brother Yang."
It turned out that Li Jingfeng was frightened when he heard that the unknown starry night came to see Shen Weichen. He told the two girls about the unknown things he heard from Xiao Qing's hometown. Both women couldn't believe it. There could be such a scheming person in the world?
Li Jingfeng was worried about Yang Yan and had to come to help, but knowing that both Shen Weichen and Gu Qingshang had their scruples, he advised them not to intervene, but Shen Weichen naturally refused.Only then did she realize that telling her about this matter was actually putting her in a dilemma.
Shen Weichen continued: "If Mingwu is really such a bad guy, you can't defeat him." He pointed to the Emei thorn on his waist, "I will help you."
Li Jingfeng quickly waved his hand and refused: "No! It's too dangerous."
Gu Qingshang smiled and said: "There's me too! If Senior Peng believes in us, why can't we catch him even if we don't know the truth?"
Li Jingfeng felt that it made sense, and looked forward again. He saw that the number of people in Huashan was dwindling, and there was obviously no need to intervene. He turned around and said, "Okay, just listen..." In the middle of his words, he was suddenly dumbfounded. Both Shen Weichen and Gu Qingshang were surprised. , looked as far as the eye could see, but could not see any movement.They knew that Li Jingfeng had very good eyesight, so they couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Li Jingfeng said: "Iron Sword Silver Guards! A group of Iron Sword Silver Guards is coming here!"
Gu Qingshang was taken aback and asked, "Did you read that correctly?"
Li Jingfeng said anxiously: "It's really the Iron Sword Silver Guard! I saw it, at least 200 of them!"
Shen Weichen was also surprised when he saw that his expression didn't seem to be fake.Li Jingfeng turned his horse's head and said, "Don't follow me. Don't let Mr. Yan see you. I'll inform Brother Yang!" After that, he galloped towards the battle ring.He already had a grudge against Huashan, and he was not afraid of adding to the enmity.
He ran straight to the outside of the battle circle and saw that the horse thieves were surrounded layer by layer, and there were only fifty or sixty Huashan disciples left.A bald old man has great martial arts skills and is invincible in and out of battle formations. Yang Yan is also fighting with disciples of the sect on the outside, and there is also an unknown young man with another...
Wait, that person is... Rao Changsheng?
He knew that Rao Changsheng thought he had killed Rao Daozi, but he could not hesitate at this time. He galloped forward and shouted: "Quickly retreat! The Iron Sword Silver Guard is coming!"
When Yang Yan saw that it was Li Jingfeng who had arrived, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, then shocked again, and asked: "What did you say?!"
Li Jingfeng reined in his horse and shouted: "The Iron Sword Silver Guard will be here soon! Escape quickly!"
When Rao Changsheng saw Li Jingfeng again, he was shocked and angry. An unknown anger rose from his chest and abdomen. He gritted his teeth and said: "Kill! Kill him!" He pointed his sword at Li Jingfeng and shouted, "Li Jingfeng, I asked you to hit me again today." In my hands! Raodao Shanzhai obeys the order and kills that guy!"
Yang Yan and Li Jingfeng were both shocked. Yang Yan said angrily: "What did you say!"
On the other side, Shen Weichen and Gu Qingshang saw smoke and dust rising, and a large team of people rushed here.Gu Qingshang was shocked: "It's really the Iron Sword Silver Guard!"
Shen Weichen looked back and saw that the horse bandits had not retreated. He couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Why don't you leave?!"
Li Jingfeng was even more anxious and shouted: "The Iron Sword Silver Guard is really here! Let's go quickly!"
Rao Changsheng shouted: "Who are you lying to! Brothers in the village, whoever kills that guy will be rewarded with a hundred silver... no, 300 taels! Quick, kill him!"
Yang Yan dodged his way, stood in front of Rao Changsheng, and shouted angrily: "He is my brother, no one is allowed to touch him!"
Rao Changsheng shouted: "He killed my father! If you help him, I will kill you too!"
Yang Yan said angrily: "I'll fucking kill you first!" After saying that, he slashed at Rao Changsheng with his knife.
The swords were tense at this end of the Chi Road, and at the other end of the Chi Road, the Iron Sword Silver Guards were rushing towards them.
No one noticed that Ming was unknown at this time, with a warm smile on his slightly raised lips.
