subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Seeing that Xu Cong was about to be killed by the assassin's sword, Xu Cong did not flinch at all, the long sword still stabbed at the assassin's right shoulder, and the hand holding the sword did not tremble even a little.

At this critical moment, Zhu Wen patted the assassin's left shoulder with one palm, and patted Xu Cong's right shoulder with the other.The two palms Zhu Wen used were soft strength, the intention was just to separate the two.

But Zhu Wen still underestimated the strength of the two of them. Although they only hit the shoulders of the two, they also retreated a few steps each.But the assassin's single sword still stabbed Xu Cong. Because of Zhu Wen's obstruction, the assassin's single sword rose a little bit. This knife did not stab Xu Cong's lower abdomen, but stabbed Xu Cong's chest.

Zhu Wen was shocked, could it be that such a powerful swordsman just disappeared?

What was unexpected was that when the tip of the knife pierced Xu Cong, there was a light ding.Although Xu Cong had a trace of blood oozing from his chest, he was apparently fine.

"Ding ding" sounded twice, and two pieces fell from Xu Cong's wound. Zhu Wen looked down and saw that it was a broken jade pendant.Zhu Wen wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and sighed in his heart that this kid was so fateful.

It turned out that the assassin changed his downward strike to a forward thrust, which was already insufficient in strength, but was blocked by Zhu Wen's palm force, and immediately became the end of his strength.It happened that Xu Cong was wearing a jade pendant on his chest. After stabbing the jade pendant with a single knife, only a shallow scar was left on Xu Cong's chest.

Xu Cong glared at the assassin, pointed his long sword, and wanted to attack again, but Zhu Wen grabbed him and wrapped his chest wound with his own hands.Xu Cong said gratefully, "Thank you, General Zhu."

"I should be the one thanking you. Speaking of which, if it weren't for you, I might have lost my life." Zhu Wen said.

Xu Cong said loudly: "As a member of General Zhu's personal army, it is the subordinate's responsibility to protect the general's safety. General Zhu loves the people like a son, how can he be easily hurt by Xiaoxiao's hands?" He stared angrily again He glanced at the assassin.

At this time, Zhu Cun, Zhu Zhen, and Hu Zhen had already surrounded the assassin, and they did not attack immediately because they were worried about Xu Cong's injury.

When the assassin heard Xu Cong's words, Ang Tian burst out laughing, and said coldly, "Love the people like a son? Killing people like hemp is more or less the same!"

Zhu Cun and the others were about to start yelling and cursing, but Zhu Wen waved his hand to stop them, and said in a calm voice: "Our rebel army raised up to save the people of the world, and most of the people we killed deserved to die. Although there are some bad apples in the rebel army, they are still a minority, and our army naturally has military laws to restrain them."

The man sneered and said, "Do you think you can shake the Tang Dynasty with just tens of thousands of horses?"

Zhu Wen smiled slightly, and said the famous saying of Grandpa Mao: "A single spark can start a prairie fire! Now that the court is corrupt and the world is in chaos, it is time for a man to make great achievements. Why is this strong man so pedantic? The boy Zhu Wen , dare to ask the strong man's name?"

The assassin said arrogantly: "I will change my name and surname if I do it or not. I am Ge Congzhou, son of the late Minister of War Ge Jian."

Zhu Wen's head buzzed, the joy in his heart!I wondered who it was, it turned out to be Ge Congzhou, no wonder he was so powerful.

Of course Ge Congzhou and Zhu Wen have heard of it. As long as anyone knows the history of the late Tang and Five Dynasties, there is probably no one who does not know Ge Congzhou. He was one of the most famous generals in the late Tang and Five Dynasties. For your own use?Of course, Zhu Wen is no exception.

Zhu Wen hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Yingying Ge. Heyingge's reputation is far-reaching, and my younger brother is like a thunderbolt. Hehe, my younger brother wanted to meet the general a long time ago, but he suffered from no chance to meet. The human way is 'one piece of Ge in Shandong, don't tease me if you have nothing to do.'" But The little brother thinks he didn't tease Yingying Ge, so I don't know why Heyingge is so cruel to the little brother?"

Ge Congzhou said: "My Ge family has been loyal to the Tang Dynasty for generations. When the bandit army captures our Datang city, I, Ge, a man of seven feet, how can I sit and watch?"

Zhu Wen smiled and said: "Ge Yingxiong is from a famous family, and there are some people who look down on us poor people, but let me ask Brother Ge, you are the top choice in both literature and martial arts, how come you still have no fame? ? What about after a famous family? What if you have the talent to stabilize the country? What can you do when you encounter such a corrupt court?"

These few words can be said to have hit Ge Congzhou's sore spot. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is proficient in all eighteen types of weapons;Although my father had a high position and authority during his lifetime, it is a pity that he passed away a little too early, and people in official circles are more accidental, as the saying goes, people leave tea to cool off.

Ge Congzhou failed in many trials, and returned to his hometown in Zhencheng in frustration. Fortunately, there were more than [-] mu of fertile land at home, which was left by Ge Congzhou's father, Ge Jian, when he was alive.Instead, Ge Congzhou and his elderly mother can still live a life without worrying about food and clothing.In the past two years, Ge Congzhou didn't take the imperial examination, so he practiced literature and martial arts at home to pass the time.

He stopped Zhu Wen's words, feeling a little emotional in his heart, but he was still completely unwilling to ask him to join the "thieves".

Ge Congzhou was born with supernatural power and was very brave. Just now, he was hit by Zhu Wen unintentionally and took a few steps back, feeling a little bit brooding in his heart.But he looked at the three people who surrounded him, all of them were not easy to get rid of, and he knew that he would not be able to escape today, so he simply stabbed his neck and said: "Ge fell into your hands today, if he wants to kill him, he will cut him into pieces." It's up to you, it's just that you bully Shao Ge so much and don't accept it!"

Zhu Wen said with a smile: "I know Brother Ge is a hero, it is impossible to give in just like that, but I want to make a bet with Brother Ge."

Ge Cong Zhou laughed loudly and said: "If you want to play the cat-and-mouse game, please forgive Ge for not accompanying me, if you have the guts to fight alone with me, Ge!" He looked righteous and arrogant, but he was quite heroic .

Zhu Zhen was furious when she heard Ge Congzhou's words, and shouted: "I, Zhu Zhen, will meet you!" After saying that, she was about to step forward.

But he was caught by Zhu Wen, Zhu Wen said: "Brother Zhen, wait a minute, brother Wei is making a bet with this brother Ge, please be safe and don't be impatient."

Zhu Wen turned to Ge Congzhou, and said loudly: "Brother Ge is a hero, how dare Zhu make fun of him? My brother's bet is that I, Zhu, will fight alone with you. If I win, you Ge Congzhou Zhou is about to join the rebel army, and from now on he will be an enemy of the imperial court, so he must not have the slightest second thought. If I lose, your assassination of me will be cancelled, how about that?"

Ge Congzhou's eyes lit up, and he said, "Is this true?"

Zhu Wen said with a smile: "A gentleman's words are hard to follow!"

Ge Congzhou clapped his palms together, and cheered, "Okay, I didn't expect there to be such an upright hero like you among the thieves. I've made the bet, let's make a move!" After finishing speaking, he stood up with a single sword and set up a door.

Zhu Wen saw that Xu Cong and Ge Congzhou had fought wonderfully just now, and he felt a little itchy. He had just learned Lingyun swordsmanship and hadn't really used it against an enemy. He happened to use Ge Congzhou, a master, to try swordsmanship.Therefore, such a bet was made, it is good to win, but if you lose, you can just find a reason to absolve Ge Congzhou of the assassination charge, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Zhu Wen's long sword was out of its sheath, and with a flick of his wrist, the tip of the sword struck Ge Cong Zhou's vital point, shooting out like a few cold stars.

As the saying goes, as soon as an expert makes a move, he will know if there is one.As soon as Ge Congzhou saw a move, he secretly applauded in his heart, and he really did something!So he cheered up, opened and closed with a single sword, and slashed horizontally. His arm strength was amazing, and he used such a simple move to break Zhu Wen's incomparably complicated swordsmanship. practice.

Sure enough, Zhu Wen didn't dare to take it head-on, and the sword was erratic, just not colliding with Ge Congzhou's single-handed sword, which made Ge Congzhou feel like he had all the strength in his body but had nowhere to focus his strength.

What Ge Congzhou practiced was the martial art of fighting between the two armies, not as ingenious as Zhu Wen's Lingyun swordsmanship.

At that time, Huang Chao relied on his superb internal strength and a set of Lingyun swordsmanship to rarely meet opponents in the Jianghu, which shows how powerful Lingyun swordsmanship is.After all, fighting alone in the Jianghu is not like fighting between two armies in the army. The fighting between the two armies is all about real kung fu, which pays attention to strength and accuracy. .

Obviously the latter is more conducive to fighting alone, which made Ge Congzhou unintentionally suffer from being dumb.

Although Xu Cong also used swords when fighting Ge Congzhou, but his swordsmanship was more than pungent but not erratic, and Xu Cong's character was also the kind of stubborn temper that goes forward bravely and would rather bend than bend. It's no wonder that tough characters don't suffer!

Zhu Wen obviously also knew the principle of attacking the enemy with his strengths and his weaknesses. Ge Cong Zhou Li's big sword sank, and he drifted back and forth, and the long sword did not intersect with his single sword at all.The two fought for forty or fifty moves, but the swords never collided once.

This made Ge Congzhou, who had always been conceited, very depressed, and shouted in his mouth: "If you have the ability to fight me with a knife and a gun, what are you thinking about running around?"

Zhu Wen smiled and said: "Using a sword is like using a soldier. You have to use both the false and the real. The enemy can't tell the difference between the false and the real. How can this be an escape? If you can see that I am using a false move, you can completely ignore it. Why bother?" Struggle to stop the dismantling? It is the same with the use of troops. If every time the enemy makes the truth clear, how can the battle be fought? What is the use of reading military books?"

Zhu Wen was already tall and handsome, but now that he had a long sword in his hand and his clothes were flying around, he looked even more unrestrained and unrestrained.

In contrast, Ge Cong Zhou's knife wind was blowing, and the dust was flying around, but he was a bit domineering.

On the eaves that Ge Congzhou had built just now, Lu Dongbin was sitting there, holding a wine bottle in one hand, pouring a few mouthfuls into his mouth, wiping his mouth with the other hand, and letting out a long breath. Take a breath.

The old guy murmured: "I didn't expect that this kid is really a martial arts prodigy. He has cultivated to this level in half a year. It's a pity that such a good apprentice has worshiped under that kid Huang Chao. It's really a pity. My old man has been here for a long time, so I should go out for a walk, although the wine and meat here are good, but it is not a place to stay for a long time... Sigh—”
