Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 347
Although Li Wenxuan looked strange in his heart, he thought that he came to assassinate him suddenly. He couldn't have set any trap for himself in advance, so he turned around and chased after him. At the same time, nearly a thousand cavalrymen in the golden camp chased him They came out to help Jin Wushu, but their mounts were not as powerful as Jin Wushu's crotch horse, nor were they as good as Li Wenxuan's legs. Although they chased after them, they were thrown further and further away. They take it seriously.

The two of them ran eastward for more than ten miles. Jin Wushu's fighting horse was gradually exhausted. Li Wenxuan had consumed a lot of energy yesterday and didn't have much rest. This battle was exhausting. Both sides slowed down.

The Golden Wushu mount ran into the valley, and Li Wenxuan chased after him, but as soon as he entered the valley, he saw nine colorful dragon flags floating in the valley, and each colorful dragon flag was held by one person. On the front, there is a group of golden soldiers following the direction of the fluttering of the colored flags, or attacking, or retreating, or thrusting spears, or raising shields to protect the whole body.

After Jin Wushu entered the valley, he shouted loudly: "Stop the assassin for me!"

Seeing the strange formation in front of him, Li Wenxuan had already slowed down his pace. When Jin Wushu finished speaking, there were more than a dozen people rushing out from the formation of the nine dragon flags. It turns out that they did not show up on the battlefield today The Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun are all here.

Yanyun Eighteen Riders was still the leader of Dragon Spear, first he led his men forward to protect Jin Wushu, then saw Li Wenxuan, and said: "So it's you again, it's really a narrow road to enemies, today you can't escape!"

Li Wenxuan also knew that things were going badly, the Eighteen Yanyun Cavalry were not easy to deal with, not to mention that his energy was exhausted, and he was about to retreat immediately, but when he turned around, the hundreds of cavalrymen had already chased him up from behind, It is true that there are fierce tigers in the front and chasing soldiers in the back.

At this time, Longqiang also led people to rush up to Li Wenxuan. Li Wenxuan complained in his heart, and looked around for a while. If he wanted to escape to the sky, he could only fly out of this valley, so he flew towards Li Wenxuan before Longqiang and others arrived. Jumping over the stone wall of the valley, relying on his outstanding agility, he climbed six to seven feet high on this stone wall in an instant, but the stone wall above was almost straight, and Li Wenxuan couldn't do it any longer. went up.

Everyone didn't expect Li Wenxuan to have such a skill, and immediately many people shot at Li Wenxuan with bows and arrows.

While looking for a way out, Li Wenxuan also looked at the movement below. Seeing that someone was about to shoot him, he hurriedly looked for a place to hide. At a glance, he saw a stone step with a width of more than one foot on his left, and jumped immediately. Going over, lying on the stone steps, I saw countless arrows flying past my body, many feathered arrows hit the rocks, and then fell on Li Wenxuan's body.

Li Wenxuan was very panicked at the beginning, but after a while, he calmed down a little bit. After all, although he looked dangerous, the bow and arrow of Jin Bing couldn't hurt him for a while.

Li Wenxuan simply lay down on the stone steps to refresh his mind, and when he regained his physical strength, he would look for a way out of the predicament.

The golden soldiers below shot at Li Wenxuan for a while, and suddenly they all stopped. Li Wenxuan was afraid that Longqiang and others would also climb up, so he immediately touched two big rocks in his hands, planning that if anyone came up, he would be the first to give He will have another one.

However, Li Wenxuan looked down, not only did no one come up, but Jin Bing retreated a lot, and there were only a few people in front, and the man in the middle was Jin Wushu. At this time, he slowed down a little, and he had returned to his original expression. There was only one person beside him, not Dragon Spear, but Chasing Moon.

Li Wenxuan didn't know what kind of tricks they were going to play, and only heard Chayue Lang's voice: "Li Wenxuan, our commander is kind and has no intention of taking your life. Now I have a few words to tell you!"

Li Wenxuan couldn't get away at this time, so he thought it would be okay to listen to him, and shouted: "Just say what you have to say!"

Jin Wushu first looked at the terrain, and saw that most of the stone walls in this valley were bare, and it was really not easy to go up, and then he said: "Your Excellency is so handsome, you almost killed me twice in a row. life."

Li Wenxuan said on it: "I don't dare to be that, my kung fu is still a bit weak, otherwise I would have almost killed you!"

Long Qiang and the others were standing not far away, when they heard Li Wenxuan's disrespect towards Jin Wushu, they immediately shouted: "Bold!"

Li Wenxuan ignored him, just looked at Jin Wushu, wanting to see what he would say later.

Jin Wushu didn't mind Li Wenxuan's words, instead he waved his hand to the dragon spear behind him, and said: "Your Excellency is so young, I really admire you for being so capable, and I think you should be a member of the Song army now." Is he in an important position? And who is he serving as a general?"

Li Wenxuan thought to himself: "You clearly see that I am dressed in civilian clothes, and Chayue also knows my details, how can I be a member of the military camp? You asked me like this on purpose, but you just want to mock me for not being famous. Li Wenxuan originally wanted to tell the truth, but suddenly remembered Yue Ying's usual ghostly appearance. With a thought, he said indiscriminately: "Marshal Han said, if I can kill you, let me be a lieutenant general." .”

Li Wenxuan thought to himself that the position of deputy general is already a big official position, and it would not be embarrassing for Jin Wushu to hear it. After all, he had only seen generals at the rank of deputy general in Chuzhou City except for Han Shizhong. It was laughing, Li Wenxuan asked: "What are you laughing at?"

Jin Wushu didn't answer Li Wenxuan, but asked Zhuiyue: "You said, if you were Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty, and someone wanted to give you my head, what kind of official position would you give him?"

Zhuiyue was taken aback, Jin Wushu said this kind of joke, but he couldn't say it, and immediately bowed to Jin Wushu to the end, and said: "Commander, this...Zhuiyue definitely dare not make mistakes!"

Jin Wushu shook his head, and said to those behind him: "Tell me, what kind of official position can I change with Jin Wushu's life?"

Longqiang and the others also sighed for a while, either because they dared not say it, or because they were afraid of making a mistake, Jin Wushu glanced at them, and finally landed on Mingzhu, saying: "Mingzhu, if you are Zhao Gou, how much do you think my life is worth?"

Ming Zhu was very straightforward, stepped forward and said: "If it were me, I would definitely make that person the Grand Marshal of the World! But if that person has no intention of being an official and is really not a general, I will make him the hereditary king." Jue, let him benefit from it forever!"

Jin Wushu laughed loudly and said: "Okay! Look, what Mingzhu said is so good, but you all don't speak!"

Mingzhu said again: "However, Mingzhu is only talking about myself. If it were Zhao Gou, I'm afraid I might not be willing to do so."

Jin Wushu asked: "Oh, is that so? Tell me why?"

Li Wenxuan also felt strange at the top. He felt that according to what Mingzhu said, although the official position was a little bigger, it would work, but why did she say that the emperor of the Song Dynasty refused to do so?Listen now.

Mingzhu continued: "Most people in the south are treacherous and suspicious by nature. If Zhao Gou knows that someone has made such a contribution, if that person is a general who leads the army, he is afraid that the military power will fall into the hands of others in the near future. If that person is The marshal who leads the army will recall the court to remove the real power. If that person..." Mingzhu paused, she said, "If that person doesn't have a reputation, it's just a hundred taels of gold. If you think that person is useful, Most of them stay with me as a guard of the Forbidden Palace, if not available, I can only ask him to go to the countryside to farm."

Jin Wushu clapped his hands and said, "Well said!"

Li Wenxuan shouted on the stone steps: "Nonsense!"

Mingzhu didn't look at Li Wenxuan, let alone argue with him, she seemed to be disdainful, she just bowed to Jin Wushu and then backed away from the crowd.

Jin Wushu said again: "How is it? Did you hear that, the lieutenant that Han Shizhong promised you, you have suffered a lot."

Li Wenxuan said in his heart: "I don't care if I suffer or not. Anyway, I'm talking nonsense. I didn't want to get anything by killing you, let alone ask Han Shuai to promise me anything. I don't care." Take care of Jin Wushu.

Jin Wushu suddenly said again: "I have a big deal for you now, I wonder if you will agree to it?"

Li Wenxuan asked, "What big deal?"

Jin Wushu said: "I am reluctant to give you my head, but you can take another person's life. If it is done, I will promise you this Chuzhou City."

Li Wenxuan asked, "Who do you want me to kill?"

Jin Wushu said slowly: "Han Shizhong!"

Li Wenxuan laughed loudly on the stone steps, and then said angrily: "You underestimate me too! Tell me to work for you, don't even think about it!"

Jin Wushu was not angry, but just smiled and said: "I'm not in a hurry, think about it slowly, if you think it over, as long as you nod, I will personally send you away, and I will never make things difficult for you."

Li Wenxuan said: "Aren't you afraid that I will cheat you?"

Jin Wushu said: "Don't be afraid, although I don't like you southern barbarians, I appreciate your kung fu. I once heard a martial arts master say that if a person's mind is not right and his heart is cunning, his kung fu will last forever." You can't practice as a first-class master! So, I believe you won't lie to me."

Li Wenxuan had no choice but to look up again. From here to the top of the valley, there is still a few tens of feet high, and it seems that the higher the place, the smoother it is. Li Wenxuan is really not sure about climbing up. And if the golden man shoots himself halfway through the climb, there may not be such a stone step to hide in those places, so he didn't reply immediately, and continued to lie down and rest.

Jin Wushu saw that Li Wenxuan didn't respond, so he also greeted everyone. Under the stone wall, only Zhuiyue and Feiyun were left, and there were some idle soldiers, but all the soldiers were resting in the shade. , it didn't look like he was guarding Li Wenxuan.

Li Wenxuan stayed on it for a while, and his stomach was growling with hunger. When he saw a lot of weeds around the stone steps, he immediately pulled some out and stuffed them in his mouth. Although the mouth was jerky, it was better than being hungry after all. Much stronger.

After a while, the sound of war drums was heard in the valley, and the nine dragon flags started to dance again. The nine dragon flags were held by one of Yanyun's eighteen cavalry, and the nine dragon flags The flags are arranged in a rectangular shape, and there are twenty golden soldiers on each dragon flag. At first, the golden soldiers were surrounded by the dragon flags respectively, and then as the dragon flags danced, the golden soldiers gathered or dispersed, like What kind of tactics are being practiced.

Li Wenxuan didn't quite understand it, and he didn't know what the effect of this group of masters rehearsing this small formation with less than 200 people was. He was wondering when he heard someone calling himself from below. what I do?"

Chasing Moon said: "Li Shaoxia, no matter what we say, we finally got to know each other. Now that you are here as a guest, why don't you come down and have a drink and talk?"

Li Wenxuan said angrily, "I have nothing to say to you."

Fei Yun laughed and said, "You don't have to talk, but you have to eat."

Annoyed, Li Wenxuan immediately grabbed another handful of grass and stuffed it into Jin's mouth, and ate it in front of the two of them.

Seeing this, Zhuiyue said, "Forget it, our commander-in-chief is afraid that you will starve to death, so he asked us to bring you wine and meat."

Following Zhuiyue, he put the weapon on the grass, took a skin bag from the side, and climbed up the steps where Li Wenxuan was sitting.

Li Wenxuan suspected that he was attacking him secretly, but seeing that Zhuiyue unleashed his weapon first, he showed his sincerity and did not take precautions.

Although the stone steps are not wide, they are slender. After chasing the moon, he put down the leather bag. Li Wenxuan took a look and saw that there was something in it, which looked like a half leg of lamb. Said: "I have persuaded you to do things with us before, and it's fine if you don't allow me, but now you are going to assassinate our commander twice, our commander not only ignores the past, but appreciates your ability very much, and wants to kill us You are under the account, and the commander is willing to treat you with courtesy. I am afraid that there will be no second person in the world with this kind of heart and tolerance, let alone your stupid emperor in the Song Dynasty. Which man would not want to make meritorious deeds? But even if you have all the skills , but if you don't know the master, you can only regret it for the rest of your life, and now this opportunity... weigh it yourself!"

After Zhuiyue finished speaking, he went straight on. Li Wenxuan was not at all tempted by what Zhuiyue said, but he couldn't help but think of something else in his heart: "Although this Zhuiyue is a golden man, but judging by his words and deeds, he is a A hero with true temperament, it's a pity that Song and Jin are in conflict, otherwise we could really make friends with him."

Li Wenxuan looked at the things Zhuiyue sent, and thought to himself: "Although this golden Wushu is bad, but judging from his identity, he will definitely not poison me, especially Chayue. Anyway, I can't do it for a while when I'm stuck here." Get away, it's important to eat enough and gather enough strength!"

So Li Wenxuan was not polite, and immediately ate most of the leg of lamb, and drank a lot of the pot of wine.

Chasing the moon and Feiyun spent a whole afternoon with Li Wenxuan below. At first they took turns to persuade Li Wenxuan to surrender, but Li Wenxuan didn't want to quarrel with these two people, so he simply pretended to be dumb on the stone steps. Yun later saw that there was no hope, so he stopped talking and sat down to meditate.

Li Wenxuan was no more comfortable than them on the stone steps. After all, the Jinren didn't come to embarrass him for a while, but if time passed, Jin Wushu lost his patience, and he would die after all.

Li Wenxuan chose to look around, and saw that at the entrance of the valley, Longqiang was leading a lot of people and horses to conduct formation drills. Aside from the many golden soldiers, the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry alone would not be able to fight on their own. Looking from the side, it is also a cliff, without even a gap, this place is really a dead end.

It was nearly dusk, Li Wenxuan was lying on the stone steps, and when he heard movement below, he immediately got up and looked, only to see that Mingzhu had climbed up this time, Li Wenxuan said, "Is it you?"

Mingzhu seemed to have never seen Li Wenxuan before, she didn't even look at him, threw a bag of meat and a pot of wine on the ground, and said coldly: "The commander has a life, if you are still obsessed after dark, then you You won't have to come down for the rest of your life!"

Li Wenxuan sneered, and said, "You don't have to wait until it gets dark, you can tell Jin Wushu right now that I won't give my life to you people even if I die!"

After Li Wenxuan finished the pot of wine, he wanted to anger her, so he drank it, which was very nourishing.

Mingzhu paused for a moment, and then said: "That's all, if you're smart, just save some, and it'll be gone!" Then she floated down.

Li Wenxuan was not interested in drinking it because of what she said, so he grabbed some meat and ate it, then continued to lie down and rest, thinking about how Jin Wushu would deal with him at night, and also thinking about it, when it was dark , I may have a way to get out.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, the golden soldiers in the valley had already lit their torches. Most of the golden soldiers lined up neatly. It seemed that they were planning to leave here. Li Wenxuan was wondering why no one came to greet him, but there were more than ten soldiers. A gold soldier found a lot of haystacks, large and small, from nowhere, and stacked them in the corner directly below him.

Li Wenxuan was very anxious: "The golden man is so ruthless, he is going to set fire to it. Although I am some distance away from the haystack, the flame may not reach me, but I cannot avoid the thick smoke."

At this moment, Chayue Feiyun and others below had long since disappeared, only to see the dragon gunner holding a torch, walking slowly, and said: "Li Wenxuan, I will ask you again on behalf of the commander, will you surrender or not?"

Li Wenxuan shouted: "If you kill Jin Wushu, I will surrender!"

Long Qiang frowned, and was about to throw the torch into the haystack. The haystack was actually doused with kerosene. When this torch was thrown in, the flames shot up, and thick smoke billowed above the flames. Right away, the stone steps where Li Wenxuan was hiding were immediately enveloped in it.

Li Wenxuan didn't expect the smoke to come so fast, a puff of thick smoke entered his chest and abdomen, and he felt dizzy, with burning pain in his throat and nostrils, Li Wenxuan hated in his heart: "It's fine if I die in battle below, I didn't expect to be choked to death here in the end." Then he wanted to rush down desperately, but a heat wave hit, his hands and face were burning so badly, Li Wenxuan had to retreat again.With this retreat, he accidentally kicked down the flagon that Mingzhu sent up.
