Chapter 177: Eighteen Arhats
"Kongyun, those thoughts of yours. Don't you think I know enough? In the big tent where the arrows rained, several lumps of meat were innocently lying together, and they couldn't bear to look at them directly.
Kong Yu was also calm and abnormal when he saw such a scene.
"General Chen actually knew a long time ago, why didn't he do it earlier, but he had to wait until today, isn't it because he really rebelled?" Kong Yu sneered, and in the distance, an extremely elite team passed through the layers of siege of the large battalion of soldiers and came towards the big tent.
"I'm mutiny?" Chen Chong glanced at the group of people who were obviously coming towards him, his gaze still calm.
"First of all, I don't feel like a traitor, if I have to find a betrayer among them, it seems that the empire betrayed Canghai City first. ”
Chen Chong pointed his gun at the team of only more than fifty people, and said regretfully: "This is the elite of your Kong family, which could have allowed them to shine on the battlefield, but unfortunately, you used them for internal friction." That's not right. ”
"Your Majesty is right, and that is right. Kong Yu's eyes flashed, and he quickly pulled out the knife on his side, and cut the guards of Chen Chong who rushed towards him in half on his side.
Look at the place where the fifty people passed by, the blood was dripping, and the corpses of countless people and horses were cut in two.
At this time, Kong Yu is more like a swordsman with superb skills.
Chen Chong is still calm and abnormal, although this long-planned thing for both parties, although it is unfortunate that he is together, he is still more prepared.
The young swordsman standing not far in front of Chen Chong turned his wrist slightly, and the blood on the blade splashed a scarlet blood line on the ground, and the side pointed directly at the soldiers who came by the strength of the horse's sword, not retreating, but rushing head-on.
The two hostile sides passed by in an instant, the soldier was shocked to find that he had not hit the enemy at all, and the next moment he fell off the horse's back and rolled down, it turned out that the horse's four hooves had been cut off by Kong Yuqi, and then looked down at himself, his legs had already left below the knees, but the blade was too sharp, until now, he did not notice the piercing pain, even if he was tenacious and abnormal, he wailed, and his ten fingers subconsciously bent into a hook on the ground, piercing into the mud, and his nails turned up without knowing it.
Kong Yu didn't even look at this nobody, and he didn't care about Chen Chong, who stood still, in the face of the constantly attacking guards, he walked forward leisurely, easily picking off a few spears, the edge was as clear as snow, and the knife was majestic.
Chen Chong looked at this former subordinate who changed in an instant, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
Seeing that the fifty Kong family members were already approaching, his hand suddenly raised.
I only heard a bang, and a big tent not far away collapsed in an instant, and then nearly a hundred crossbowmen appeared in the ruins, holding crossbow arrows, aiming at the extremely arrogant fifty people.
Chen Chong no longer hesitated, and shouted: "Release." ”
More than 100 crossbow arrows galloped towards the torrent.
It's just that after two rounds of crossbow arrows, there is not a single person left of these fifty people who can still stand.
Kong Yoo, who was about to join them, instantly froze in place.
"Do you still have hole cards?" Chen Chong walked up to Kong Yu and asked calmly. Reached out to stop the guards who wanted to get closer.
"No more. Kong Yu didn't seem to calm down the excitement in his heart, and his tone trembled slightly.
"Okay, then I'll leave you a whole corpse. ”
"Master, the monks have compassion, and it's really right for us to do this. ”
"Of course, monks should have compassion, but what I understand is great compassion, and what you understand is small compassion. ”
"What is the difference between great compassion and small compassion? ”
"Time will tell. Now you just have to do what I say. ”
"But the master ......." As the first disciple of Putuo Temple, Fa Xin seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it after all.
The teacher's order cannot be violated.
"Don't let Fa Xuan go down the mountain with you, this kid is still too tender, plus he also has some relationship with Lin Ji, don't end up in the end, as for the pros and cons, you can weigh it yourself, but you have to remember not to use the eighteen Arhat Formation as a last resort, this is the hole card of Putuo Temple, I don't want to expose my hole card so early." ”
"The disciple understands. Fa Xin no longer spoke, just blindly agreed to all the master's proposals. He couldn't understand this master of his own, and how could he persuade him to do what he was determined to do, so he would ask for less suffering, and he would say yes.
But is this really the right thing to do?" Fa Xin shook his head vigorously, shook off the doubts in his mind, and then quietly withdrew from the main hall.
Dahan, Zhongjing City.
In the early morning, the sky was gray.
Three hundred iron horsemen rushed on the official road, and the dust was flying.
It is rumored in the capital that General Gu Tang of the Northwest Army is about to enter the city again, and combined with the current atmosphere of surprise and everyone's sensitivity to politics, the only giant city in the world with a population of one million is treacherous for a while, and the high-rise buildings on the main axis of the city are occupied by all kinds of characters.
The shrill chirping of cicadas resounded on the countless branches in the capital.
There are four holes in the city gate of Zhongjing City, and the idle people inside and outside the city gate have been cleared by the captain of the city gate early, when the horse team that is gradually approaching tramples out of a hundred times more deafening than the cicada's roar, when the city gate and the city wall everyone see the scarlet eye-catching Gu character flag, it is the early morning of the breath, and suddenly suffocated.
The horse team slowly stepped into the city gates.
Except for the sound of horses' hooves, it seems that the entire capital has begun to fall silent.
On the main avenue of the palace, the onlookers who occupied the position couldn't help but hold their breath.
When the horse team went farther and farther, they looked at each other and felt relieved.
Gu Tang's return to Beijing this time was of course arranged by the emperor, and he was releasing a signal to some people and certain places that the Han Dynasty was not only one Lin family army that could fight, but also the existence of a strong army like the Northwest Army.
And everyone knew that after Gu Tang entered Beijing, he just made a simple debriefing, and then led 60,000 people of the Northwest Army to Dugu Gorge to Dugu Camp to conduct a military exercise with the defenders.
Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone, after the news that Chen Chong killed the soldier and Kong Yu returned to Zhongjing City, His Majesty the Emperor did not seem to be as angry as he imagined, he even laughed a little proudly after seeing the express, and the reason he was looking for to be able to fight in Canghai City inadvertently jumped out by himself.
Of course, the military exercise was just a cover, and it was the far-sighted emperor who left the last bit of time for repentance for the Dugu camp.
Gu Tang was in high spirits when he left the palace, and he was not the only one who followed him out of the palace, behind him were nineteen figures who were obviously not soldiers.
The figures were wrapped in huge black cloaks, obscured by huge hats, and it was impossible to tell who they were.
It's just that between walking, those who have seen their figures will vaguely feel that these people seem to be different from ordinary people.
"The cultivator is really unknown. The people who were as powerful as Gu Tang couldn't help but sigh in admiration after seeing these nineteen people, except for the people who led the team, the remaining eighteen people seemed to have been trained into one by nature, and even the breathing rate was so similar.
When it was not to interfere with the treaty and still bind the cultivators, Gu Tang thought that the cultivators would only be a small episode in a war with a large number of people, but with the example of Lin Jiwan's raid on Damang Kyoto first, and after seeing the momentum of this group of rice buckets that was completely different from that of the Imperial Cultivator, he couldn't help but change all his thoughts.
As for the stinky kid, Gu Tang shook his head with a smile. Maybe against those who don't understand the art of war, his random set will really work, but for himself, he is still too tender after all.
"Senior monk, do you think we will win this war?" Nearly a thousand miles away, Gu Tang did not arrange a frame for himself, but arranged the best frame for the nineteen monks from that unknown place, although he knew that these monks who had cultivated for the sake of cultivation did not seem to need these, but his mind still had to be expressed.
Gu Tang patted his horse and caught up with the carriage led by him, and then signaled the person driving to slow down. The curtain of the carriage was lifted.
The people in the carriage did not open their closed eyes because of this, but subconsciously frowned.
"What I care about is not winning or losing this war, what I care about is how many people will die in this war. Fa Xin's tone was slightly cold, and it seemed that even the temperature around the entire carriage instantly cooled.
Gu Tang subconsciously shuddered, but still forced a chuckle that he didn't care.
