Comprehensive martial arts: He was in the Jin Kingdom, but he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty

Chapter 34 Mountainside Joint
When the battle was going on on the top of the mountain, Wanyan and his son, who were halfway up the mountain, led their troops to the left and right, and went to two mountain roads.

They went to Obai's side first, and found that the people had left Daokong, leaving only some army horses that had been trampled to death in panic. They felt bad. After searching around for a while, they found hundreds of scattered deserters. Knowing that Obai is dead and Jianning is missing.

Then he went to Ouyang Ke and Peng Lianhu, but when he saw that they were motionless, they merged together.

Wanyan and his son entered the camp, lit a bonfire, sat at the main seat, and showed their intention to raise an army to punish the enemy.

Peng Lianhu hurriedly stepped forward to report the situation. He was originally a direct descendant of the Peng family with the Five Tigers Cutting Swordsman. However, due to his short stature, he could not learn the famous sword skills of his ancestors. Instead, he learned a hidden weapon and an iron judge's pen. He was known as the "Thousand-Handed Man-Slaughter" That’s it.

Among them, the word "Thousand Hands" means that he is extremely fast with hidden weapons, and the word "Slaughter of People" means that he is cruel and ruthless.

Later, he left the family, became a bandit, and did all kinds of business without any capital, until he discovered that his martial arts skills were never innate. As time went by, his skills would decline sooner or later, and he couldn't help but worry. He was always worried that he would be beaten by the waves on the beach.

After worrying about this for several years, I was finally enlightened by someone and realized it. I lived by one sentence, which was of course "learn martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family".

He made up his mind to be a high-ranking official, with excellent eloquence and broad knowledge. This conversation was very familiar to him, as it was the draft he and Ouyang Ke had prepared together.

But Ouyang Ke cherished his feathers and respected his identity, so he stood aside and said nothing.

"Your Highness, Young Master, and Liang Laoxian have been attacked and disappeared without a trace. I am afraid that they were sacrificed. Young Master Ouyang and I guessed that they must be chasing after their lives. So they abided by their duties and went down the mountain to prevent the pursuit of their lives. They stayed here. Come on, you two. It’s just right, we can catch this thief here!”

Peng Lianhu spoke with indignation and seriousness, intending to portray himself as loyal and conscientious.

Wanyankang was furious after hearing this, "How could you two be so negligent? Something happened to Ao Bai Jianning first, and then something happened here. They all saw it, and they couldn't even fly after their lives. This couldn't be more obvious." , isn’t it because someone is assisting from the side and disrupting the viewing and hearing!?”

He was heartbroken and took a lot of trouble to explain, but he didn't know that this was what Ouyang Ke and Peng Lianhu were waiting for.

The two looked at each other, and at the same time said a very artificial "ah", and said in unison, "I see, the young prince is wise, and we are willing to accept the punishment."

With this statement, they seem to be "just stupid, not bad."

After hearing this, Wanyankang became even more angry, but he only looked at the innocent faces of the two of them, his intuition was wrong, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Wanyan Honglie looked on from the sidelines, and compared to his immature and cheap son, he understood the psychology of the two people better, and also knew how to deal with similar incidents.

Now that things have happened, they will still be needed, so naturally they can't be pushed into a hurry. But at the same time, you can't let them fool you. You have to get through their minds, intimidate them, and then let them down gently after the deterrent effect is achieved. This is the best way.

He waved his hand and said, "Kang'er, the matter has come to an end. It's useless to say more. As for the two of you, just now..."

Halfway through the words, a voice suddenly came from outside, "Report, someone is coming down from the mountain!"

As soon as the words stopped, everyone was shocked, stood up together, and left the camp. There were shouts of orders from all around, and the soldiers moved together, moving like a torrent, and lined up one by one towards the front.

Wan Yankang mounted his horse, raised his iron spear, and rushed forward, "Are you chasing your life? This creature doesn't know whether to live or die, please follow me to face the enemy!"

Wanyan Honglie hurriedly followed, "Kang'er, don't be impulsive, first see who's coming before talking."

Things happened suddenly today, and it sounds complicated, but in fact, it only happened in one day, from morning to night. Wanyan Honglie was in a hurry and could not mobilize his troops in time. The total number of the three armies was only more than 2,000.

Some of the soldiers of Ao Bai's army fled without a trace, but the remnants that had been found were enough for 2,000 people. In addition, there were many first- and second-grade acquired masters. After a head-on confrontation, they would also be a huge threat to any innate master. , so Wanyankang is no longer afraid of pursuing his life.

But the formations can be seen from a distance. The so-called "threat" has always been based on the premise that the innate master is a fool and penetrates deep into the military formations.

Under such circumstances, Wanyan Honglie felt that it was more likely that it was Li Yanzong who could still come here.

Other experts have similar ideas, or even more. Similar to what Ouyang Ke and Peng Lianhu knew before, they felt that the person coming was either the Four Famous Catchers or the Seven Quanzhen Sons.

In fact, the difference between the former and the latter is not big, because they are all equally famous and feared.

Liang Ziweng's disappearance was still vivid in his mind, and those deserters also said that Aobai had his head cut off.

Wanyan and his son only felt angry after hearing the news. In their hearts, they were either frightened or afraid. They neither wanted to die silently in the snow like Liang Ziwen, nor did they want to be like Ao Bai and have their heads cut off to show off to the entire army.

Furthermore, they actually didn't care about Bao Xiruo's life, nor did they fear that the news of Yue Fei's murder would spread.

If Wanyan Honglie were compared to a big tree, they were just a few sparrows building a nest here. What they cared about was shelter from the wind and rain, not any feelings for the tree.

When a big tree falls, it falls down. The chaffinch can fly away at any time and look for another big tree.

When several people looked at each other, they all knew that the other person had similar thoughts to themselves. If we want to describe them, the four words "each has his own agenda" are most appropriate.

Several people with different motives came to the front of the formation and looked from a distance, but they saw a vague figure walking towards them in the wind and snow. Here are all the troops in formation, all drawing their bows and setting arrows. There are many on both sides, forming a very impactful contrast, but not only is the momentum of the one person not weak, but it also makes this side feel like it is facing a formidable enemy.

Wanyan Kang left the crowd and stood in front of them. He exhaled excitedly and nervously, and puffs of white air rose into the air. His hand loosened and tightened on the gun, then tightened again.

The momentum is on the verge of breaking out, just waiting for an order.

However, Wanyan Honglie took a closer look and vaguely realized that something was wrong, "Wait, everyone, stop! Disperse! Retreat! It is indeed General Li."

He gave three instructions in a row, his voice was serious and not angry, and he was not afraid to ignore it. The rebel army was originally noisy, but they actually spread the word from one to another, slowly spreading the news, and the aura of chilling dissipated immediately.

It was far away just now and everyone couldn't see clearly. Until now, after a few words, I got closer and could see his appearance clearly. It was indeed Li Yanzong, but he was alone, with empty hands. There were many signs of fighting on his body, and the armor on his waist and abdomen was torn and wrapped with gauze.

All the masters looked at each other, surprised that he could come back alive. This seemed to be completely different from the imagined "four famous arrests" and "the gathering of seven Quanzhen disciples".

The army separated and welcomed him into the formation, in front of Wanyan Honglie.

Wanyan Honglie hurriedly dismounted his horse and stepped forward, pretending to be a courteous corporal, and asked, "General Li, you..."

"I didn't kill Zhui Ming, nor did I get your princess back. Mr. Sixth, I retreated in defeat. I'm very sorry."

Li Yanzong, however, did not give face and spoke bluntly, "But I want to remind you that it was you who failed to guard the mountain road and helpers came from the mountain that led to this result."

Wanyan Honglie stopped mid-movement and his expression darkened.

He would never have imagined that the first words out of Li Yanzong's mouth were to blame him. Although this is the truth, it is very inappropriate to say it on the spot in this army. Some of the soldiers looked at each other and said nothing, but there seemed to be a thousand words in their eyes.

When military formations usually confront warriors, the pressure is huge for the warriors, but it is even more stressful for the military. They risked their lives, some for military pay, some for the honor of their family and country, but no matter what, they all wanted to win.

For the general, they will always be hypnotized, saying that they can win and that the sacrifice is worth it. They are confused and hope that they are not the one to be sacrificed. They also hope that the sacrifice will be heroic, so that they can get some residual glory falling from the sky.

Even the meanest person in the world is not willing to fight a losing battle.

Many masters around him also looked at him sideways, feeling that although he was very capable, he lacked a lot as a person. He did not know how to maintain face, which led to low morale.

Wanyan Honglie noticed the atmosphere around him and felt something bad.

He could only explain reluctantly, "Who would have thought that some people would appear out of nowhere and disrupt the arrangement. Haha, General Li, what happened on the mountain?"

Others only thought that Li Yanzong was a brainless warrior, but he knew exactly what he said, and he even did it deliberately.

Because he was determined to restore the country, but he encountered obstacles everywhere. He had no military power and no popularity. So far, he only has some fame in the world. Therefore, he especially hates those who have military power and status. Seeing such people being unlucky makes him feel happy.

Li Yanzong had a smile on his face that others couldn't understand, almost admiring everything in front of him.

He said casually, "I was chasing for my life, but here came a Taoist priest and a young boy. The Taoist priest is in the innate realm, and the young boy is in the acquired realm. We fought until both sides were injured, and then went down the mountain."

Wanyan Honglie asked hurriedly, "What were their casualties?" But in his mind, he thought, the Taoist priest must be Qiu Chuji, but who is that young boy?

Regardless, this is good news. He turned his head and looked at the people around him, and found that whether it was Ouyang Kepeng Lianhu or Master Sha Tongtianhou Tonghai Lingzhi, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the enemy is not the Quanzhen Seven Sons or the Four Famous Catchers, this group of people will always be a reliable help.

Of course, he admitted that he was more concerned about Bao Xiruo's situation.

Li Yanzong said, "There are no deaths, but they are indeed injured. The Taoist priest has been defeated by Li, and it will be difficult to perform within ten days and a half. The situation of chasing life... is difficult to determine, but it is definitely not in a perfect state. As for the hairy head Boy, he is a bit weird, but the acquired level of the third and fourth levels should not be a concern."

He glanced at Wanyan Honglie again and said, "That woman is fine."

Wanyan Honglie's brows completely relaxed, "Can you think that only chasing one's life should be vigilant? In this case, the situation is not bad, then we still have to rely on General Li..."

Li Yanzong shook his head, "Sixth Prince, I'm afraid they have followed the other two routes and went down the mountain. We can't catch up. The next step is to chase south. Are you sure you want me to chase them? That is the border of Song and Jin Dynasties. There are people from the Song Dynasty and people from the Jin Dynasty. If my identity is exposed, everyone will know that the Western Dynasty and the Northern Dynasty are united. We were going to prevent him from spreading the news, how could we reveal the news ourselves instead?"

Wanyan Honglie said hurriedly, "General Li can change your appearance so that no one knows your appearance..."

Li Yanzong interrupted, "I don't know the art of disguise."

Wanyan Honglie added, "I have various disguise talents, you can choose from them."

But he didn't know that Li Yanzong had already undergone a disguise, and it was the maid A'Zhu of Yanziwu who did it.

This maid is an expert in the art of disguise. After her treatment, even if Zhui Ming is also proficient in the art of disguise, she can only see some clues. She only knows that Li Yanzong has been disguised, but cannot get a glimpse of his original features.

But no matter how amazing A'Zhu's disguise skills are, if someone wants to disguise Li Yanzong again and puts his hand on his face, he will definitely discover this disguise and then know that this second-ranked master of the Xixia First Grade Hall is surprisingly capable. Known hidden identity.

Li Yanzong naturally refused to let the Jin people know about this, but he couldn't find any other excuses, so he was speechless for a while.

He could only say in a cold voice, "Li has a big deal. He has to return to the Western Dynasty. Since he can't change his appearance, you will have to hunt him down on your own for the rest of the journey. In addition, please remember that the Sixth Prince , today’s failure is not at fault with Li, but with you all.”

Wanyan Honglie finally discovered that the main purpose of Li Yanzong coming here was not to bring him various information, but to throw the responsibility for the failure of the action on him.

At the first moment, he was both shocked and angry. As the King of Jin Dynasty, he always puts the honor of the country first and obeys every order. He has never seen such an ignorant and selfish person. people.

He had lost news and lost his wife, but when it came to Li Yanzong, it seemed that it had nothing to do with it. Even if Ouyang Ke and Peng Lianhu were passive and sabotaged, they would at least make up a reason, how could it be so blatant!
But at this moment, Wanyan Honglie was frustrated both in public and private. On the surface, he seemed to be advancing and retreating in a controlled manner, but in fact, he was too confused and too lazy to care.

Then he thought: "If I can chase him to death, nothing will happen to me. If I can't chase him, I should lose my head anyway. Hey, why bother with this barbarian from the Western Dynasty so much?"

With a cold face, he raised his hand and said, "Yes, yes, the responsibility for today lies entirely with me. Is General Li satisfied?"

A rare smile appeared on Li Yanzong's face, and he nodded, "With the words of the prince, Li finally feels at ease. Since Dajin no longer needs a Li Yanzong, it's time for Li to return to the Western Dynasty."

After he said this, he turned and left without looking at anyone else. When walking through the military formation, the soldiers made way for them and stood on both sides looking at him coldly, but he was completely unaware of it.

Wanyan Honglie looked at his retreating back and sighed. In any case, Li Yanzong's departure made him regretful. The failure of the situation this time was entirely due to this person. But he couldn't control Li Yanzong, nor could he control him. In the end, he could only let him do whatever he wanted.

Even if he has a high status, no one is afraid of him, and he will never have any prestige.

Ouyang Ke could deceive him, but he couldn't kill him with one palm. Li Yanzong can ignore the overall situation, but he can't use any means.

In such a world, he has become accustomed to living like this, and he can only live like this.

When Li Yanzong left, Wanyan Kangfang said, "This guy is so arrogant, isn't he also in trouble? That Qiu Chuji was almost taken down by me, but he suffered a loss, huh, it's nothing more than that!"

Wanyan Honglie glanced at him and could see that Wanyankang was actually uneasy. He was frightened and intimidated. Just like a fox, it dare not make a sound when the tiger is present. Only when the tiger leaves can it show off its power, as if to prove that it is not afraid of the tiger.

Such a person cannot achieve great success. If it were someone else, even if he had the ability, Wanyan Honglie would exclude him from the center of power, guard him, and avoid him.

Even if he was ordered to do things, he would not dare to do anything big. Even if he is sent to kill people, he will never dare to kill key people.

Because he will definitely make mistakes, omissions, carelessness, and laxity.

——Wanyan Honglie looked down upon such people at all.

Unfortunately, the "him" now is none other than Wan Yankang.

So Wanyan Honglie thought: What can be done about this? After all, he is just a child, and his days are still long. Hey, if he had some experience, he would be much better than me. He knows so many martial arts, has such good talents, is also smart, handsome, and is a noble man. I leave everything to him, he will be the greatest Wanyan disciple in the future...
