Chapter 5: The Snow Thieves Are All Destroyed
Over the next three days. Shen Chen led 10,000 soldiers deep into the snowfield. In the meantime, apart from a few snow thieves, they did not encounter a large number of enemies. When Shen Chen saw this scene, he felt pride and contempt for the enemy. And Ming Chen felt very strange, he wanted to report the matter, but after seeing Shen Chen's smug appearance, Ming Chen had no choice but to tell Mu Xi his feelings. After hearing this, Mu Xi said: "Ming Chen, what you said is indeed reasonable, the two of us have fought with the Wind and Snow Thieves, according to their previous habits, they should have made a move a long time ago!
"Maybe they're waiting for an opportunity. ”
"What chance?" Mu Xi asked.
At this time, Ming Chen pulled Mu Xi to look at the snowfield that was snowing heavily and said: "The weather in the snowfield is changeable, if we continue to go deeper, I think it will be bad for us in the long run!"
"Yes!" Mu Xi also agreed, "Ming Chen, it's better for you to think ahead!, but now that Shen Chen is in charge, I think we should be prepared for some surprises first!"
"Hmm!"
On the fourth day, Shen Chen led 10,000 soldiers to be stationed in Lone Leaf Town inside the snow field. After being stationed, Shen Chen asked the soldiers to do a good job of defense, and then ordered a banquet to be held in the Chinese military camp. During the banquet, Shen Chen held the wine glass in his hand and said, "Everyone, we haven't encountered a large number of snow thieves in the past few days, I think they should know that we are many and fearful. Ladies and gentlemen, when the one-month adaptation period is over, I think we will be admired by the people of the city for our glorious deeds of daring to fight against the snow thieves. Then you will be in for a treat. ”
As soon as these words came out, some sycophants said: "That's right, with Shen Chen's prestige, those snow thieves must be fleeing from the wind!" Shen Chen heard it and said even more proudly: "Okay! That's good, everyone, let's continue to drink! Come on!" At this moment, Ming Chen stood up and said, "General, I don't think now is the time for us to be happy!"
"Oh!". Shen Chen was already upset because someone disturbed his interest, but when he saw that it was Ming Chen who interrupted his interest, he was furious in his heart. But because of the large number of people in the tent. Shen Chen had no choice but to suppress the fire and said in an extremely disgusted tone, "Ming Chen, what do you mean by this?"
"It's simple. "We're now deep into the snow. And the weather in the snowfields is unpredictable. If the snow thieves attack us while the snow is falling, we're in trouble......!
"That's enough!" Before Ming Chen finished speaking, Shen Chen hurriedly interrupted Ming Chen's words and said, "Ming Chen, do you think you know about the weather? Don't the snow thieves know about this? They have been in the snow for so long, will they come and attack us on a snowy day? If so, they will be overwhelmed by the snow before they get close to us!hahaha!"
Ming Chen originally wanted to continue, but after he saw Shen Chen's arrogant expression and Mu Xi's hinting eyes, Ming Chen didn't say anything. After the banquet was over, Ming Chen and the other six gathered in Ming Chen's barracks. At this time, the eldest grandson Zhongda sighed and said, "Ming Chen, what you just said is indeed reasonable. It's a pity that Shen Chen's bastard didn't listen, alas!
"Okay," said Ming Chen, "Actually, what he just said is not unreasonable. Maybe the weather in the snowfield will really make the snow thieves dare not raid us! By the way, do you have anything I need to bring?"
"Yes!". When Yu Shu was about to speak, Ming Chen reminded: "I mean things that keep out the cold. After all, we're in the snow, and it's going to be very cold. If something else is fine. ”
When Yu Shu heard this, he hung his head and said, "Oh! Then forget it!" Ming Chen and the others laughed out loud when they saw Yu Shu's disappointed appearance. After laughing, Ming Chen led everyone to lead the troops. Before leaving. Ming Chen said to Mu Xi and the others: "Everyone, after thinking about it, I'm still a little worried! If you really think that the attack of the snow thieves will be defeated, then you will take the road where I often transport grain." When the time comes, we will be able to meet too. I can take care of you, too. ”
"Got it!" Mu Xi replied, "Tomorrow morning, you have to be careful on the road." You know what?"
"Hmm!". After saying goodbye to Mu Xi and the others tomorrow morning, he took the soldiers back to Xinyue City. In fact, if you don't leave tomorrow morning, what happens next won't happen. Even if it did, it wouldn't be anything very serious. After returning to Heartmoon City tomorrow morning, Kong Si was very satisfied after briefly inquiring about some information. At this time, in addition to proposing to transport grain and grass, Ming Chen also proposed to transport some winter clothes. When Constance heard this, he immediately agreed. However, because winter clothes take some time to prepare, they have to leave tomorrow morning the next day. Tomorrow morning, because of this preparation time, he simply bought some of the things they needed for Mu Xi and the others. Early the next morning, he set out with his soldiers tomorrow morning. However, it was not long before we set off tomorrow morning. Because of the heavy snow blocking the road, Ming Chen and the others had to quickly clear the roadblocks, and wait until noon, Ming Chen and the others could continue to move forward. When they were about to go deep into the snowfield, several waves of figures appeared in front of them in a trance. When Ming Chen saw it, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to prepare for battle. And he rode forward. When he got closer, Ming Chen was surprised to find that the person who came was actually his own soldier. It's just that they're already seriously injured. When these soldiers saw tomorrow morning, they seemed to see hope. They shouted to Ming Chen: "General Ming, General Ming, we are our own people, don't do it." ”
When Ming Chen heard it, he said, "I know, you can come here with confidence!" After hearing this, those people came to Ming Chen's front one after another. Seeing that they were seriously injured, Ming Chen didn't say anything. After putting them on the grain cart for them to be dealt with briefly, Ming Chen asked, "Brother, why are you seriously injured?"
"This," said the soldiers, "the snow thieves attacked us in the morning. Even when we were losing most of our troops, they surrounded us. Later, General Shen let us break through because of the strength of the enemy. In the process of breaking out, we killed some more brothers, and in the end, we wounded men fought hard to break out. Fortunately, we met the general, and God really favored us!"
"Wait," asked Ming Chen, "when did you say you were attacked?"
"Morning. ”
"No, I would have understood if it was early in the morning that you had suffered so badly, but why were you so embarrassed in the morning?
"This," explained the soldier, "General Shen said that it was too cold, so the fortifications were canceled. As a result, in the morning, when we were about to cook, suddenly, the barracks was in flames. Then, in the snow, countless snow thieves suddenly appeared. They burned and looted and shouted, 'Kill, brothers!' and in this way, the army of 10,000 men was instantly routed. Subsequently, the entire town of Lone Leaf was also set on fire by them. ”
After the soldier finished speaking, Ming Chen scolded: "This bastard! I really think that the snow thieves are like him! Those snow thieves have been in the snow field for a long time." They had long been familiar with everything in the snowfield. No matter how heavy the snow is, they won't give up!
Just when they wanted to know more about the situation tomorrow morning, another wave of people walked towards them. When they got closer, Ming Chen found that the people who came back were Yu Shu, Eldest Sun Zhongda, Qin Yufei and Bai Yu. It's just that Qin Yufei and Bai Yu were already seriously injured and unconscious, while Yu Shu and the eldest grandson Zhongda were carrying one on their backs. When they came to Ming Chen's face, Ming Chen asked eagerly, "Yu Shu, eldest grandson Zhongda, how are you feeling?"
"Yu Shu and I are fine. The eldest grandson Zhongda explained after putting the person down, "But when they broke through, Bai Yu and Qin Yufei were unfortunately seriously injured. If Shen Chen had listened to you, I don't think we would have suffered such a heavy blow! Alas!"
"Alright!" Ming Chen patted the eldest grandson Zhongda on the shoulder and comforted, "Now that the incident has happened, it is useless for us to say anything!
"Yes, yes!" said the eldest grandson, Zhongda, in agreement.
After asking about the situation of the four people, Ming Chen continued to ask, "By the way, why didn't Mu Xi come out with you?"
"This," Yu Shu explained, "Mu Xi seems to be still fighting the Wind and Snow Thieves in Lone Leaf Town. ”
"What about Shen Chen?" asked Ming Chen.
"He?" Eldest Sun Zhongda scolded when he heard this, "When the snow thief attacked, that bastard ran away without even hitting him. caused Wang Fei and Lu Piao to die on the spot. ”
After hearing this, Ming Chen also scolded: "What! This bastard!" After Ming Chen finished scolding, Ming Chen thought to himself: "Mu Xi is good at long-range attacks, in this case, Mu Xi is very dangerous!" Thinking of this, Ming Chen said to Yu Shu and Eldest Sun Zhongda: "You two go back with the grain transport team now, tell Marshal Kang about this matter, and let him support quickly!"
"Okay!" Yu Shu said, "but what are you going to do?"
"This," said Ming Chen, handing the reins to Yu Shu after dismounting, "I'll go to Mu Xi now!"
"But. Yu Shu's words were not finished yet, and he would have already run to Lone Leaf Town tomorrow morning. Yu Shu and eldest grandson Zhongda looked at each other. I had to go back to Xinyue City.
On the other side, in Lone Leaf Town, Mu Xi was fighting the snow thieves alone. Just as Mu Xi and the snow thieves were fighting, the snow thieves suddenly stopped attacking. Mu Xi was very puzzled when she saw it. At this time, a man riding a black horse, wearing a tiger skin coat, a scar on the back of his head, and a cold iron gun in his hand appeared in front of Mu Xi. This person is the big boss of the snow thief - Cheng Qianli. When Mu Xi saw it, he asked, "Who is here?"
When the man heard this, he smiled and said, "Hello Lord Mu, I am the big boss of the wind and snow thief - Cheng Qianli. Stargazing Realm strength. I didn't expect that the strength of the Mu County Lord Huahai Mirror could fight with my brothers for so long. I really admire it!"
"Thank you for the compliment," Mu Xi said.
"I advise you to surrender!" Lord Mu" Cheng Qianli persuaded, "With your strength, you are not our opponent!"
"Really?" Mu Xi said with the Blue Emperor Xuanbow aimed at Cheng Qianli, "Just let me surrender and dream! As soon as the words fell, I saw an arrow of light shooting towards Cheng Qianli. Cheng Qianli saw that after seeing it, he bullied Mu Xi's strength was lower than his own. When he reached out and grabbed it, a cut appeared on his face. Cheng Qianli felt it and touched it with his hand, and his hands were instantly covered with blood. When Mu Xi saw it, he said provocatively: "How is it?, do you have anything else to say?"
Although Cheng Qianli saw it with fire in his heart, he still said with a smile: "Yes, Lord Mu's archery skills are really powerful! But if you don't surrender, what will they do?" As soon as the words fell, several snow thieves escorted a few of their captured soldiers to Mu Xi. Mu Xi was shocked when she saw it. At this time, Cheng Qianli took out a knife from one of his waists, put the knife on the neck of one of the soldiers and said, "I heard that Lord Mu is kind-hearted, I think you should be able to save their lives!"
"You!" Mu Xi wanted to save people after seeing it, but he was helpless. At this time, Mu Xi held back his anger and said, "Wait, I will go with you if you let them go!"
"Good!". When Cheng Qianli heard this, he said to the little minion: "Let them go." ”
"Yes!". After the snow thieves released the captured soldiers, Mu Xi threw the Blue Emperor Xuangong to the ground. When Cheng Qianli saw it, he immediately asked his subordinates to tie up Mu Xi. After capturing Mu Xi, Cheng Qianli came to a prisoner car with Mu Xi in his arms and mocked: "Lord Mu, this prisoner car should be prepared for us." But how do I feel like it's for you?Lord Mu, did you say what I said right?" Mu Xi didn't answer after hearing it. At this time, Cheng Qianli personally put Mu Xi in the prisoner car and said, "Lord Mu, I'm tired of you staying in the prisoner car for a while." After saying that, Cheng Qianli left with the snow thieves. It's just that before leaving, Cheng Qianli left a person behind and said, "You wait here first." The one named Tomorrow Morning might come. If he comes, you will bring him to the stockade, understand?"
"Yes!". After the order was completed, Cheng Qianli led the people away. And those who remain also find a place to hide, waiting for the arrival of tomorrow morning.
At the gates of Heartmoon City, Cons was patrolling the city. At this time, Shen Chen, who had lost his armor, rode a horse and came to the city gate in embarrassment. Although Kong was puzzled when he saw it, he could guess it in his heart. While looking at Shen Chen's embarrassed appearance, he said to his subordinates with a grim face: "Go, pick up Shen Chen." ”
"Yes!", when Shen Chen came up, Kong Si asked with a grim face, "Shen Chen, why are you so embarrassed?
Shen Chen panted and said, "Yes...... Yes!". Subsequently, after Shen Chen told Kang Si the whole process of the matter, Kang Si was furious and said: "Shen Chen, as a great general, you actually left Mu County Lord and 10,000 soldiers and fled by yourself!
When Shen Chen heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Please Marshal Kang to calm his anger, didn't I run away in the hope that I could tell you the news so that you could rescue it?
"You!". At this time, Constance was completely enraged. He pointed at Shen Chen and scolded, "Shen Chen, you are still a child of a rich family." You can say such shameless words. I'm telling you, even the groom is a thousand times stronger than you. If you were really one of my soldiers, I would have beheaded you a long time ago!"
Just as Kong Si was about to deal with Shen Chen, the herald announced, "Report to the general! It's just that the commander of the grain transport team is not in the ranks. ”
"What are you talking about?" said Conse, "what did you do tomorrow morning?" Just as the herald was about to speak, the eldest grandson Zhongda and Yu Shu came to Kang Si and said, "Marshal Qiqi! Let us and the grain transport team come back tomorrow morning." He went to save Mu Xi himself!"
"What!" "Kang Si shouted, "Ming Chen actually went to save the county lord Mu alone, the big boss of the wind and snow thief is the strength of the stargazing realm, and he is only the strength of the microscopic mirror tomorrow morning." Didn't he kill himself? Someone quickly gather 5,000 soldiers for me, and I will personally lead the army to save the county lord Mu. He also told the city lord the news and asked him to respond to it. There were also wounded people who hurried down to rest. I'll take care of the rest!"
"Yes!". Wait until the herald leads the eldest grandson Zhongda and Yu Shu down. Kang Si rebuked at Shen Chen: "Tomorrow morning, you look at the people, and then look at you! This is really a gap! Someone will send him to the Xinyue Martial Mansion." Handed over to the lord of the house at his disposal. With that, Cons went to the school to lead the troops.
Just when Cons was busy saving people, Ming Chen had already arrived in Lone Leaf Town. Tomorrow morning looked around and found that although the town of Lone Leaf was covered in heavy snow. But it still can't stop the traces of Lone Leaf Town being washed by the fire. Ming Chen shouted Mu Xi's name as he walked forward. But what he hears is always an echo of himself. Just as Ming Chen walked forward, Ming Chen suddenly felt that he had stepped on something. He looked down. He found that what he stepped on was Mu Xi's Blue Emperor Xuangong. He quickly picked it up and thought to himself, "This bow is Mu Xi's belongings. Why did it fall here. Could it be that something happened to Mu Xi? No!
Just as Ming Chen was thinking about it, Ming Chen suddenly looked around and said, "Who! come out!" Unfortunately, there was no response. At this time, Ming Chen slapped his palm on the ground and directly slapped the person hiding in the snow. After seeing that person come out, Ming Chen put the Dry Sky Sword on that person's neck and said, "Say, what are you doing here?"
"I'm the big boss, stay and wait for you!"
"What boss?" asked Ming Chen.
"It's the master of our snow thieves. ”
"What's his name?"
"Cheng Qianli!"
"Okay!" Ming Chen helped him up and said, "Since your boss asked you to wait for me, I think you should take me to meet him!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Alright," Ming Chen said, retracting the Withered Sky Sword, "then you can take me now." If you dare to play tricks, you know the consequences. ”
"Yes, yes, yes! In this way, tomorrow morning, under the leadership of the people left behind by Cheng Qianli, he went to the Dazhai of the Wind and Snow Thieves. On the other side, after Cheng Qianli returned to Dazhai, he ordered someone to bring Mu Xi to the lobby. In the lobby, Cheng Qianli untied the rope on Mu Xi's body. Afterwards, two people put a shelf in front of the lobby. When Cheng Qianli saw it, he said to Mu Xi: "Master Mu, I have wronged you!"
"Humph!". Subsequently, Mu Xi was held hostage by Cheng Qianli and the two snow thieves, and was tied to a shelf with his limbs forked. After Mu Xi waited for it to be tied, Cheng Qianli touched Mu Xi's head and said, "Lord Mu, does it feel good to be tied to the shelf?"
"Bah!" Mu Xi said, "Cheng Qianli, you'd better let me go, otherwise my father will not spare you if he knows about this!"
"Really?" Cheng Qianli laughed out loud when he heard it, "As long as you are in my hands, even if your father comes, what can you do with us!"
"Yes!". Everyone present burst out laughing after saying that. Seeing this, Mu Xi had no choice but to express his anger by trying to break free from the chains. Cheng Qianli laughed when he saw it, "Lord Mu, you don't have to work hard! The chains that bind you are made of heavy iron, you can't break free!"
Mu Xi scolded while trying to break free: "Damn!". At this moment, Cheng Qianli took out a bottle with pink medicinal powder and put it in front of Mu Xi and said, "Lord Mu, do you know what is in here?"
"Humph!". Mu Xi turned his head to the side when he heard it. Cheng Qianli saw it and said, "Lord Mu, this is filled with love powder. I don't think Lord Mu has tried it!"
When Mu Xi heard this, he shouted: "Cheng Qianli, if you dare to do anything to me, I will not let you go even if I die." ”
"Don't worry!" Cheng Qianli said with a smile, "I don't dare to hurt the county lord's daughter." It's just that I heard that Lord Mu and a person named Ming Chen are very close. If you let that tomorrow morning try it, what do you think it will be!"
"You!" Mu Xi warned, "Cheng Qianli, you must not do this. Ming Chen is simple-minded. I warn you, no, you let him do that kind of thing!"
"Really?" Cheng Qianli pretended to be embarrassed, "Since he can't do it, then I'll come!"
Just when Cheng Qianli was about to manipulate Mu Xi, he suddenly heard a noise outside. Just when Cheng Qianli wanted to figure it out, suddenly, a little minion covered in blood and crawling came to Cheng Qianli and said: "The big boss is not good! Someone has come to attack our stockade!"
"What!" Cheng Qianli was furious when he heard this, "Tell me how many people are coming to attack my stockade, and who are the people who are attacking the stockade?"
"A man, he said his name was ...... Ahh Before the little minion finished speaking, he saw a purple light piercing through the little minion's chest. After the little minion fell to the ground, he saw Ming Chen standing in front of Cheng Qianli with the Dry Sky Sword in his hand. Cheng Qianli was frightened on the spot when he saw it. But he still kept his composure and asked, "Who are you! Are you looking for death?"
Ming Chen didn't say anything after hearing it. With a move of "Crescent Moon Slash", he directly overturned the roof of the lobby. Cheng Qianli was completely scared when he saw it. At this time, Ming Chen said: "I am Ming Chen, you are Cheng Qianli!"
Cheng Qianli replied tremblingly: "Yes, yes, yes!" Ming Chen saw it and said, "Cheng Qianli, I'll find you something." As long as you let Mu Xi go, I will spare your life. Otherwise......". Before the words fell, I saw Ming Chen stretch out his hand and hit a pillar. In an instant, the pillar turned into powder. Then, half of the lobby was gone. Cheng Qianli was dumbfounded when he saw it. Subsequently, Cheng Qianli took Ming Chen to the shelf with Mu Xi tied. After seeing Mu Xi tomorrow morning, he said, "Mu Xi, are you okay?"
After Mu Xi heard Ming Chen's voice, she turned her head and shouted to Ming Chen: "Ming Chen, I'm fine, Ming Chen, you must be careful of Cheng Qianli! Cheng Qianli has bad intentions!"
"What!" Ming Chen stared at Cheng Qianli after hearing it. Cheng Qianli took out the previous bottle after seeing it, and said respectfully: "Don't misunderstand Ming Shaoxia, I just hope that Ming Shaoxia can taste my collection of delicacies." Please also ask Ming Shaoxia not to refuse. ”
Ming Chen looked at his expression after hearing it. He didn't suspect Cheng Qianli's expression when he found that his expression was very sincere, and he directly ate the medicine powder. Cheng Qianli was overjoyed when he saw it. He said: "Okay! Ming Shaoxia is really heroic, now, please ask Ming Shaoxia to take Mu Xi away!" Ming Chen walked towards Mu Xi after hearing it. After Mu Xi saw that Ming Chen ate the raw love powder, she said in her heart: "No!". When Ming Chen approached, Mu Xi twisted his head to the side and closed his eyes tightly. Because Mu Xi couldn't face what happened next. After a while, after Mu Xi heard the sound of chains being cut and a scream, Mu Xi felt that he was picked up and walked forward. At this time, she thought to herself, "What happened just now? Why is there a scream? Could it be that he ...... tomorrow morning?" No, it won't!" Mu Xi quickly opened his eyes. She looked to the ground and startled her. It turned out that Cheng Qianli had fallen in a pool of blood. At this time, she knew in her heart that the scream just now was from Cheng Qianli, and the person holding her was Ming Chen.
At this time, Ming Chen saw Mu Xi open his eyes and asked, "Mu Xi, why did you close your eyes when I was close to you?"
"This,". Mu Xi's face was flushed when she heard it, and she was ashamed. She had no choice but to hold Ming Chen's arm tightly and didn't say a word, and Ming Chen didn't continue to ask after seeing it. It's just that he asked, "Mu Xi, since you're fine, can you come down?"
"Why?" Mu Xi asked.
Ming Chen said: "Because you are too heavy! I can't hold it anymore!"
"What!". Mu Xi was ashamed and annoyed when she heard this. She kept hammering Ming Chen's chest with her hand and said, "You...... You even say I'm heavy! Damn! You just carry it all the time!"
"Alright!" replied Ming Chen. Mu Xi was puzzled when she saw it. She thought to herself, "No, let him carry it!
After a while, Mu Xi asked, "Ming Chen, how did you kill Cheng Qianli?
"This," Ming Chen replied, "I didn't want to kill him at first, but I don't know why when I got close to you, I suddenly felt the urge to kill him." So he killed him with a sword. ”
"That's it!".
By the time he walked out of Dazhai with Mu Xi in his arms tomorrow morning, Kangsi's 5,000 troops had already reached Dazhai. When they saw this, they all stood there and froze. Mu Xi was even more embarrassed when she saw this scene. At this time, Ming Chen said: "Marshal Kang, you are here! It just so happens that the snow thieves have been killed, so I will leave the rest to you!"
When Conse heard this, he said intermittently, "Uh...... Alright!"
Ming Chen replied, "Thank you!"
In this way, Ming Chen hugged Mu Xi and left in front of everyone. All that was left was Kang Si and the others, who had not yet reacted, and after Kang Si and the others reacted, Kong Si seized the treasures collected by the snow thieves and burned the snow thieves' village and left. After returning to Xinyue City, Ming Chen was known to the people of the city because he took out the stronghold of the Wind and Snow Thieves with the power of one person, and Shen Chen was a deserter because he was a leader, causing 10,000 soldiers to be defeated and Mu Xi was captured, which should have been severely punished, but because the family secretly spent a lot of money to help Shen Chen make connections, Shen Chen escaped from severe punishment. Later, after discussion between the City Lord's Mansion and the Xinyue Martial Mansion, it was agreed to let Ming Chen form his own independent team. And the members of the team are: Mu Xi, Yu Shu, eldest grandson Zhongda, Bai Yu and Qin Yufei.
