"That lieutenant was shot dead!

"Mighty, mighty!"

The cheers followed, and the soldiers under his command who had shot the opponent's rebel generals should also be leaderless. However, the few guards standing on the deck of this team were indignant, but no one made any gesture of surrender at all.

"This gang of recruits is probably scared stupid! Brothers, go up and receive the rebels! Capture four people, and automatically promote to captain!"

The leader general returned his bow and arrows, and shouted with a smile at his team of soldiers.

When the soldiers heard that they could be promoted to the first rank by incorporating the rebels, they immediately became energetic, and they drew their swords and spears and rushed towards the shore fleet, for fear that they would be too late and leave some old and weak recruits.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Suddenly, there was a shout from the ship, and then two hundred crossbowmen with newly issued bows came to the shore in a rain of arrows. There are more than 200 people on the other side, even if the recruits have not yet mastered the trick, but they can't stand the open terrain, and the opponent's personnel are concentrated. In just three volleys, more than 30 soldiers on the shore were killed, and more than 100 were wounded.

"The recruits are rebelling!

When this group of officers and soldiers withdrew from the place where they were one stone's throw away, counting the support and dragging, there were only more than 60 people who could breathe.

"Guo Degang, hurry over to the commander and mobilize 10,000 soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion!

Seeing the stubborn resistance of the recruits, the general who led the team hurriedly urged a colonel to return to the camp for help, while he mounted his horse and slowly walked to the front of the team.

"This leather armor is estimated to cost more than a dozen gold coins to repair, right? someone will help me pull it out!"

Yao Tai'an sat up from the deck slowly, the leather armor under the ribs of his arm pierced by a feather arrow, firmly connected in one place.

"Master, you scared my brother to death just now!"

Several family members stepped forward to untie his armor, and Yao Tai'an moved his hands and feet, and then let out a long breath.

"Wearing armor does affect the action, and it's still so cool. ”

The soldiers of the ship walked out of the cabin one after another, came to the shore vigilantly, and assembled in formation. Yao Tai'an changed into a black robe and came to the field with a long sword.

"Half of them were on guard, and the other half were hurrying to eat. If anyone wants to attack this team, everyone will kill me. ”

"Yes! Master Yao!"

Seeing that Shou Linbing was eating and resting on the shore, the other party expected that they would not raid the team, so they helped to treat the wounded soldiers. There were a few brave men who dropped their blades and quietly approached the casualties in the field, and Shou Linbing did not attack them. A full hour passed, and a team drove in the distance with smoke and dust.

"General! Luo Shuai brought someone over. ”

Hearing the schoolmaster's shouting, Guo Huaiqing hurriedly turned his horse's head and looked in the direction of the comer. But in front of the people who came was a cyan horse, and the deputy marshal Zhang Qingzheng galloped towards him in high spirits.

"Deputy Marshal Zhang, Guo was ordered to come to take over the recruits, but unexpectedly, these recruits actually mutinied. Huaiqing's soldiers have lost most of them, please punish the deputy marshal!"

Zhang Qing nodded, urged the horse to come to the front of the team, saw Yao Tai'an standing in the team in a black robe, guessed that he was the leader of this group, so he arched his hand and said loudly: "This is the commander of the new army? Everyone is a soldier of Nanli Kingdom, why did Your Excellency shoot my soldier?"

Yao Tai'an saw that the person who came did not have a weapon in his hand, like a reasonable person. So two steps earlier, he replied: "I have seen Deputy Marshal Zhang, in Xia Yao Tai'an, and the captain of the new army." This time, I was called to lead the team to support the front line, and when I arrived on the opposite side, the general was about to seize Yao's military power, and I was close to the soldiers, so I desperately resisted. ”

Seeing Yao Tai'an's righteous expression, Zhang Qing looked at the corpse that had not yet been retracted in surprise, and asked suspiciously: "I think it's also a mistake for both sides, the commander ordered General Guo to come to meet your army, how can you snatch the military power?"

Yao Tai'an sent someone to take out the leather armor arrows, sent someone to hold them in both hands and handed them to Zhang Qing, and said angrily: "This surnamed Guo asked our army to be under his command, and without any explanation, he suddenly gave you a cold arrow at Yao." Vice Marshal Zhang, please look at this arrow wound, an arrow pierced through the armor, it is clear that he wants Yao's life! Such a method, I don't know if Yao has misunderstood, or if my soldiers should not have rushed here?"

Zhang Qing looked at the leather armor embarrassedly, and glared at Guo Huaiqing with disgust, then turned his head and smiled: "Captain Yao has newly entered the barracks, and he doesn't know the methods of General Guo. He is a sharpshooter in our army, and his arrow is just a temporary itch, but it is just a piece of leather armor, so I guess Captain Yao is not injured, right?"

Yao Tai'an saw that the other party was deliberately covering up, and said coldly helplessly: "Does Deputy Marshal Zhang want to say that this arrow is normal?

Zhang Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled awkwardly: "Where would Ben Shuai blame Yao Duwei! Everything is a misunderstanding, everyone will be brothers and sisters in the future, and if you know more, everything will naturally not be counted." ”

"And what about these broken soldiers?"

"What are these ......" Zhang Qing looked around, and then said with a smile: "Although some soldiers died in vain, everything was a misunderstanding, and our army naturally didn't care." Turning back, General Guo deserves to be punished. ”

Yao Tai'an nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the soldiers around him, frowned and asked, "Vice Marshal Zhang, how do you arrange my life-winning children?"

Zhang Qing showed a kind smile on his face when he heard this, and explained loudly: "That's not necessary. I just visited the Malay newspaper, saying that the little emperor of Beiji urgently dispatched reinforcements, and he would rush to the city in a few days. We have already mobilized 50,000 horses to intercept the mountain pass north of the city, as long as we hold on for three days, once the city is broken, this reinforcement will naturally retreat. I would like to ask Captain Yao to take the new army to the mountain pass to assist in the defense, Zhang Qing hereby wishes your troops success!"

Seeing that the other party did not blame, Yao Tai was suspicious. Seeing this, Zhang Qing immediately intimately advised: "Yao Duwei should not be too light on the enemy when he goes, it is said that the Beiji reinforcements are leading the team this time is Xiao Hezhong, the younger brother of the little emperor." This man is not very old, but he is well versed in the art of war. If Yao Duwei can capture the enemy generals alive, his merit will be no less than the merit of a city. ”

Yao Tai'an clenched his fists and took the order, and then the whole team of military horses went to the station.

Zhang Qing reprimanded Guo Huaiqing, and then led the team back to Shuai Account.

Five miles outside the city of Zeqing, the military camp of Nanliguo.

"Deputy marshal, this surnamed Yao clearly doesn't take our army seriously. More than 100 people in our army were damaged, and the deputy marshal not only did not punish him, but also let these recruits deploy the whole team, could it be that Guo Mou's 100 comrades died in vain?"

Zhang Qing smiled and poured Guo Huaiqing a glass of water and wine, and then sat down with a smile and said: "A stunned Qing, what does General Guo have to do with him?

Guo Huaiqing took a sip of the water and wine in the cup, and said indignantly: "But deputy marshal, this is too cheap for that kid surnamed Yao! Guo still feels unconvinced!"

Coach Zhang Ying picked up his wine glass and walked closer, complaining dissatisfiedly: "Second brother, it's really unpleasant to let this guy go like this! Their team of recruits actually dare to kill people in our camp, how can they let it go easily?"

Zhang Qing smiled and twisted his beard, and said slowly: "Intercepting the Beiji reinforcements is bound to resist desperately, the junior brother has already informed General Duan that this team of recruits is arranged at the forefront of defense." After a war, it's hard to say whether three or five people can survive. Moreover, although the two immortal chiefs could not enter the city to make meritorious contributions, they also promised to help our army resist the reinforcements. ”

Zhang Ying was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he became suspicious again, and said softly: "Second brother, didn't their Jinghong faction say that they would not interfere in mortal wars?

Zhang Qing cleared his throat and said with a fierce smile: "It's not the first time that the Shocking Gang has killed the Beiji Imperial Family, and this attack will naturally not leave a handle." At that time, they will use the morning mist as a cover, and if the fog is not enough, the immortals will also borrow Xuantong to add a few fogs. They beheaded Xiao Hezhong, and by the way, the man surnamed Yao was eliminated along with his men. The two armies fought, and casualties were inevitable. Besides, the other party has lost a loyal king, and our army has also lost a thousand-strong team, no matter who wants to trouble us, it will be in vain, right?"

When the two heard Zhang Qing's explanation, they immediately turned their worries into joy. The sound of joy sounded again in the tent.

Fifty miles north of the city, the military camp in the south.

Yao Tai'an had just finished participating in the military conference, and it would take more than ten hours for the Beiji Army to arrive, and everyone arranged for the soldiers to cultivate their spirits and prepare dry food.

A day later, at dawn.

The fog rose around the thousand mountains, and the two armies camped more than ten miles apart. At this time, although the morning fog is filled, some movement can still be seen faintly from a distance.

Xiao Hezhong didn't sleep all night, the battle ahead was tight, and he had to pull out the camp and raise troops when the fog cleared. If you can rush to Zeqing today, then the city guards will also be more confident in holding on.

"Lord Wang, let's have some breakfast, wait for the next expedition, maybe when the next meal will be. ”

Xiao Hezhong took the iron bowl and swallowed the meat soup in three or two bites. Although he said that he had a poor appetite, he ate at this time to conserve his strength, and whether he wanted to eat or not, he had to swallow it himself.

"Look at what time it is, if the fog still shows no signs of receding, then send a team of 1,000 people to investigate. We have to walk more slowly and be careful of the ambush. ”

The pro-soldiers were ordered to retreat, and Xiao Hezhong turned around and looked at the map, his eyes firmly fixed on the direction of the southern border of Beijin.

"Since Mr. is here, why don't you show up and speak? Xiao doesn't want to provoke the school guards to bully more. ”

Although Xiao Hezhong said that he had his back to the tent door, his people were like the back of his head, and the people outside the tent were so shocked that they almost made a sound.

"Sir, rest assured, since Xiao knows that Mr. is coming, he is sincere to Mr. If Mr. refuses Xiao's kindness, then the king will call the generals to come to discuss the matter!"

"The prince is a good means, Yao is polite. ”

The curtain was lifted, and Yao Tai'an walked in slowly. Seeing that Xiao Hezhong was still turning his back to him, he didn't sneak attack, just clasped his fists and bowed and said, "Beiji merchant Jia Yao Tai'an has seen His Royal Highness King Zhong. ”

"Oh! Mr. is also from Beiji?"

Xiao Hezhong heard Yao Tai'an's words and suddenly became interested. He turned to look up and down the crowd, and saw that he was dressed in a black robe, unmasked, and unarmoured. His hands were empty, except for a short blade with a sheath stuck in his waist. If this is the enemy army who assassinated him, Xiao and Zhong couldn't believe it.

"What is the matter with this, sir? This king is very curious!"

Yao Tai'an saw that there was a futon on the side, so he walked over and asked casually, "King Zhong, can Yao sit down and talk?"

Xiao Hezhong was also the first time to see such a casual person, so he frowned and responded: "It seems that this king has lost his manners, sir, please sit down, come here! Show Mr. Yao tea!"

Xiao Hezhong just said casually, and two soldiers came in outside the tent with wooden plates in their hands. Yao Tai'an saw someone coming in, and immediately pressed his right hand on the handle of the short blade at his waist. But as if nothing had happened, the two soldiers put down their refreshments and turned to leave.

"Mr. is calm, this king has learned some kung fu from people in the rivers and lakes since he was a child. These pro-soldiers are measured, if this king can't keep you, then they are a hundred or ten more people, I'm afraid there is no way to take your honor. Xiao Hezhong picked up the teacup and saluted Yao Tai'an in the air.

"Don't be surprised. Fang Cai Yao was also rude. Over the years, the Yao family's business has spread all over the western part of Vietnam, but after all, they are still the people of Beiji. This time, Nan Liguo forcibly recruited Yao's children into the army, and he hoped that King Zhong would forgive him if he couldn't help himself. ”

Xiao Hezhong nodded when he heard this, and then asked softly: "The two countries are fighting, and Mr. is a civilian, which is also helpless. Why doesn't this king want the two countries to communicate with each other by trade and not by sword? I wonder what the gentleman is going to do here?"

Yao Tai'an got up and clenched his fists, and said sincerely: "There are thousands of people in the Tai'an department, and they are on guard at the mountain pass. Nanli had long known that the Zhongwang reinforcements would definitely break out of the encirclement today and go to Zeqing to rescue. The Tai'an tribe is all ordinary people, and they have no intention of attacking Beiji. This time I came to inform King Chung that there was an ambush ahead. Later, Yao will lead his troops to retreat from the mountains and forests, and hope that King Zhong will take care of himself during the march. ”

"Sir, why don't you lead your subordinates to join my Beiji Wangshi? Even if you retreat without a fight, Nanli will not let your Excellency go into hiding in the future. ”

Yao Tai'an just shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this, drank the tea in one gulp, and sighed: "King Xie Zhong is sympathetic to the people. Yao led a thousand people out, and if he refused to be conscripted at that time, then I am afraid that everyone would have died on the spot. Now that Yao Mou's handsome people have withdrawn from the battlefield, and in the future, King Zhong has rescued Zeqing's danger, so this team of people will naturally find a reason to get out. At that time, Tai'an will also send some subordinates to return to Beiji to live, and it will be said that Nanli is a loss in the assassination battle. I also hope that King Zhong will take more care of these subordinates of mine in the future. ”

Although Xiao Hezhong was unable to win a force, it was rare to be able to reduce the opponent's living force. At that moment, he no longer insisted and agreed to Yao Tai'an's proposal.

"Originally, I wanted to divide the army into two places, but the enemy king and my country's anti-thieves actually gathered together, it seems that Qiao Mou is going to take the military merit alone!"

A voice suddenly sounded outside the tent, and the faces of the two of them changed.

Yao Tai'an's deeds were exposed, and he was worried about implicating his subordinates in the New Army. Xiao Hezhong was surprised by the strange way of the other party, and quietly approached, but he didn't even notice it.

"Who's coming?"

As soon as Xiao Hezhong's words fell, a gray figure walked in outside the tent. This man was in a gray robe and black shoes, carrying a long sword, about forty years old, and holding a dark blue ancient book in his hand.

"Since the two of them are dying, the old man will let the two of them understand their deaths. The old man sent Mo Changgong, who came to harvest the life of King Beijizhong this time, but he didn't expect Yao Duwei to be here. It looks like my junior brother is going to be busy this time!"

King Zhong was fully vigilant about coming, but Yao Tai'an was so shocked that he blurted out: "Shocking Sect!

Hearing about the cultivators, Xiao Hezhong's sideburns were also shocked into a cold sweat. The most surprising thing was Mo Changgong, he was very curious about how his identity could alarm a mortal?

"Boy, do you know the cultivators? Could it be that you have also crossed paths with the cultivators?"

Seeing the gray-robed man staring at him, Yao Tai'an slowly let go of his right hand on the hilt of the sword, and said vigilantly: "Senior, Yao does know a senior who cultivates the truth. I heard that cultivators are not allowed to interfere in mortal battles, and dare to ask the seniors who are so blatantly interfering in the war between the two countries, could it be that the rules of this cultivation realm have been abolished?"

"Kill you, and no one will know about it. Besides, my Shocking Flood Sect is now in the limelight on the mainland, which sect dares to get along with me?"

Mo Changgong chuckled disdainfully, waved the sword finger in his right hand, and the long sword behind him snorted lightly.

Seeing that the other party could resist the sword out of thin air, the two of them felt a chill down their spines. Yao Tai'an knew that it would be difficult to retreat with his whole body, and Xiao Hezhong was even more afraid of the other party's strength.

As a child of the royal family, he has heard about cultivators more or less over the years. I met it today, and maybe I would die on the spot.

"Second brother, I'm Xiao Hezhong, please help the second brother!"

Xiao Hezhong suddenly remembered His Majesty's advice before leaving, and hurriedly shouted for help. But his shouting, not to mention the second brother, even the surrounding guards failed to alarm anyone.

"Hehe, it's funny. Your second brother, are you talking about those cultivators of the Xiao family? They were removed from the cultivation realm more than ten years ago. Do you think it's going to be of any use for a ghost screaming like this?"

Mo Chang looked at Xiao Hezhong sarcastically, it felt like staring at a corpse.

"Isn't the Thrilling Faction amazing?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded outside the tent, and Mo Changgong hurriedly turned around to be on guard.

"How is that possible! The old man has set up a soundproof barrier outside this tent, who is coming? How did you hear what the old man said?"

The blue light flashed, and a figure appeared in front of Yao Xiao and the others. Xiao Hezhong looked excited, and blurted out: "Second brother, is it really you......?" You...... Why are you so old, you seem to be much older than your father!"

Yao Tai'an was overjoyed when he saw someone coming, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Senior Zhao, I didn't expect my predecessor to come in time." That's great!"

Ignoring Xiao Hezhong's stunned face, the person who came nodded at Yao Tai'an, and said helplessly: "If I don't come, old man, you won't let this kid cause trouble?"

He reached out and took out a jade pendant from Yao Tai'an's body, shook it at Mo Changgong, and chuckled: "The old man can't guard Yao Xiaoyou's side at any time, so he has already worn a macaroni pendant for him." Mo Daoyou's soundproofing is forbidden, as long as it is within ten miles, the old man can hear it if I want to hear it or not. Just now, a certain person has used the paper crane to communicate the sect, and everything that the Shocking Flood Sect has done is under control. Daoyou is a foundation building monk, and the old man has not been practicing for a long time, so he is definitely not an opponent of Daoyou. But if the old man can't go back today, I'm afraid that the ugly things of the Jinghong Sect will also spread in the cultivation realm! It's better to sell the old man a face, and I'll let them keep their mouths shut, and as for your faction, I will also restrain the disciples when they go back. The old man pressed this matter for your faction, I don't know what to do with friendship?"

Without waiting for Zhao Qianbei to finish speaking, Mo Changgong took a step forward, the ancient book in his hand suddenly opened, and a white light shot out, and the three of them were instantly included in it.

"Do you think the old man will be blackmailed?"
