"General Shi, I don't know if you still want to reject me?" The man in black sneered, Shi Tianhu sounded very uncomfortable, but he didn't have a seizure, he just smiled, and then stepped forward and turned his head to the bright moon in the starry sky: "If you want to use the blood of tens of thousands of Qingyang City's people to defend this city wall, then what's the point? The current imperial capital is already very powerful, maybe not long after, the imperial capital ten swords will reunite in the imperial capital, and at that time, the imperial capital will be as powerful as before." That's it, that's it, anyway, in the end, this place will still be captured by the imperial capital, and it's not too many years. To tell the truth, I am tired of this lord of a city, the emperor of the southwest. ”

"General Shi is worthy of the generals in the Southwest Realm who have died before?" The man in black obviously didn't expect Shi Tianhu to answer like this, and his tone was full of surprise.

"I, Shi Tianhu, have a clear conscience, presumably even Helian Zihao will obediently obey when he sees the current imperial capital. ”

"A man who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I thought General Shi was a general who shocked the Quartet, but it turned out to be just a coward who was greedy for life and afraid of death. I'm out of sight. ”

"It doesn't matter if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, what about your prestige? Why has the southwest not returned to the imperial capital, not because we are not afraid of sacrifice, but because we cherish our lives more. However, the current emperor is not as brutal as before, when Liang surrendered, the imperial court general personally served as the lord of the country to atone for his crimes, and miscellaneous taxes and forced labor were also exempted for ten years for war recovery. What's the point of fighting this battle in such a situation?"

"Why didn't General Shi raise the city and surrender, and still resist stubbornly here?"

"If we surrender without a fight, it means that we are afraid. Although the emperor of heaven looks good, he has to guard against people. I want to tell the imperial capital that we in the southwest did not surrender because we were afraid of them, but so that the people of the southwest would no longer be harassed by war. ”

"Yes, yes. General Shi is worthy of being the lord of Qingyang City, and he sees everything so clearly. So do you know that your plan is no longer possible?"

"Of course I do. Now that I am in your hands, it will be easy for you to take my life. If you kill me and then blame the imperial capital army, then my death will inevitably make the two sides die endlessly. ”

"Since General Shi has already expected it, why can't he feel the slightest timidity?"

"Mr. Tianshu, why do you say so much, if you don't do it now, my escort will come later. Shi Tianhu laughed, drew his sword out of its sheath, and looked at Tianshu with a firm gaze: "Make a move, Mr. Tianshu." ”

Tianshu didn't say much, his body was illusory, and he shot directly. The knife in Tianshu's hand is just right if it is used to assassinate, but if it is a weapon confrontation, it is a disadvantage. Shi Tianhu naturally knew this, so every time Tianshu appeared, he would stab out a few more swords, in order to try to make Tianshu hurt under such an opportunity.

Tianshu naturally understands, and he doesn't fight against Shi Tianhu, and his body is just to dodge. But in the battle, Tianshu also discovered one thing, in the rumors of the outside world, the two generals in the southwest, one is Hua Ye, the other is Yang Tianzong, but Tianshu can clearly feel that Shi Tianhu's strength is definitely above the two: "It seems that the outside world doesn't know General Shi very well." ”

Shi Tianhu didn't answer, he was trying to save his physical strength, his seemingly domineering attack seemed to have the upper hand on the surface, but in fact, he didn't even touch the corner of Tianshu's clothes, and such a high-intensity attack was a huge drain on his physical energy. Fang Tianshu sneak attacked, Shi Tianhu didn't notice it, and was succeeded by Tianshu. Shi Tianhu was more or less unconvinced in his heart, Shi Tianhu thought that as long as he could use the sword, it would be impossible for him to fall behind in the face of Tianshu.

But as time slowly passed, the soreness came from the arms on both sides of Shi Tianhu, and the rapid offensive began to slow down slowly, but Tianshu still didn't have the posture of moving his hands, just constantly changing his position to avoid Shi Tianhu's attacks.

"You can only dodge and dodge, don't the Northern Seven Stars dare to fight with me?

"General Shi doesn't need to provoke me, your sword is extremely domineering, and I don't want to be split in half directly. Besides, the killer pays attention to waiting for the opportunity to act, and it is your style to fight directly, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

Shi Tianhu was another sword, Tianshu directly sideways, this blow, Tianshu didn't even move his body, he was already able to dodge. Seeing Tianshu dodging, Shi Tianhu's gaze froze, and Tianshu saw this opportunity, and the blade in his hand suddenly appeared, stabbing forward directly through the moonlight. The sharp blade directly pierced Shi Tianhu's skin, and red blood gushed out from the fracture of his left arm, and Tianshu's blow directly cut off Shi Tianhu's left arm!

"Ahh Tianshu smiled, withdrew the knife in his hand, his body shook slightly, and suddenly five Tianshu came from five directions: "General Shi, why don't you know the current affairs?"

"Your divine machine is just a worm in the dark!" With that, Shi Tianhu rushed towards one of the Tianshu, holding his sword in one hand, and the blood had already stained the soil behind him.

Tianshu moved, no, the five Tianshu moved at the same time, although the Tianshu that Shi Tianhu chose was still stabbed by the sword, and blood also flowed out of his abdomen, but Shi Tianhu didn't have any chance to be happy, at the same time as he stabbed Tianshu, the other four Tianshu shot at the same time, directly cutting off his remaining limbs and head, and in an instant, the city lord of Qingyang City, the general Shi Tianhu, directly lost his life. Looking at the remnants in front of him, Tianshu flicked his hand, and the five Tianshu turned back into one, and the bleeding wound disappeared. Tianshu looked around, posed for a while, and then threw a small wooden bird out of his hand.

Yang Tianzong, who learned that the soldiers and horses of the imperial capital had retreated, was holding the beauty in his arms and looking at the letter sent by Shi Tianhu two days ago. If Yang Tianzong hadn't recognized that this was Shi Tianhu's handwriting, he really had to wonder where this letter came from. The content of the letter was to persuade him to follow him to negotiate peace with the imperial capital, which made Yang Tianzong completely unacceptable. For several generations, the soldiers and horses of the imperial capital have never broken through the gates of Qingyang and Qingfeng, but now, they want to directly open the city and surrender? What's even more angry is that on the second day of this letter, Yang Yu's soldiers and horses followed, and Yang Tianzong directly suffered a big defeat.

Now seeing Shi Tianhu's letter, Yang Tianzong is really angry, but he is also helpless, in the southwest, although Yang Tianzong and Shi Tianhu are the same city lords, but because of his character, only Hua Ye is good friends with Yang Tianzong, and now, Hua Ye is dead. But Shi Tianhu is loyally supported by the city lords of the other cities, and it can basically be said that he is the head of the horse. Now, if Shi Tianhu leads his troops to surrender and he Yang Tianzong does not surrender, then the war between the imperial capital and the southwest will become a war between the imperial capital and Qingfeng City. How long can a lonely city last? On the day the city is broken, it is estimated that his Yang Tianzong's death will be ugly.

Just when Yang Tianzong was irritable, the guard outside the door broke in: "Report, general." ”

"What's the report, didn't you see that I'm busy here?" After speaking, Yang Tianzong ate the grapes handed by the woman beside him.

"General, General Shi is dead. ”

"If you die, you die, and in this war, there are many dead...... Wait, what do you say, who died?"

"General Shi, General Shi Tianhu of Qingyang City, is dead. ”

Yang Tianzong pushed away the woman beside him, and directly stepped forward to grab the guard: "What's the matter, who can kill it?"

"Why should General Yang embarrass a soldier, just ask me about killing General Shi Tianhu. ”

"Who are you, and how did you end up here?"

"I don't know if General Yang has heard of it, Shenji Tianxuan. ”

"Divine Machine Tianxuan?Northern Seven Stars?" Yang Tianzong immediately took a step back, his eyes full of vigilance.

"General Yang doesn't have to worry, I have no ill intentions. This time, I came here to let General Yang know how General Shi was killed, and secondly, to talk about cooperation with General Yang. ”

"How did you know about the killing of the Heavenly Tigers?"

"To tell the truth, the commander of the Imperial Capital's invasion of the southwest army this time is the goal of our divine machine. And in order to complete this mission, the Divine Machine sent me and Tianshu to complete it. Originally, Tianshu and I divided our troops into two ways, and came to hope to join forces with General Shi and General Yang, we completed the task of assassination, and you keep the southwest, so why not do such a good thing? But Tianshu went a step late, and when he arrived at General Shi's tent, he happened to meet the emperor and lead the sword master of the remnant sun to assassinate General Shi, and General Shi was defeated and unfortunately killed. Tianshu wanted to stop it, but he couldn't fight it, and the injured Tianshu could only watch the Remnant Sun Sword Lord break General Shi's body to pieces. This letter was sent to me by Tianshu in our unique way of transmission after the Remnant Sun Sword Lord left. With that, Tianxuan handed the letter in his hand to Yang Tianzong.

Yang Tianzong spread it out and said: Tianxuan, on the way to General Shi's camp, I unfortunately met the Sword Master of the Remnant Sun. I and General Shi were defeated, and General Shi was killed in battle, and his body was destroyed.

After reading the letter, Yang Tianzong directly tore up the piece of paper, and clenched his fists tightly: "The Heavenly Tiger still wants to return to obedience, what a Remnant Sun Sword Master, is it true that we are easy to bully in the southwest of the country? Today, I, Yang Tianzong, swear here, that I must avenge the destruction of the corpse for General Shi!"

Seeing Yang Tianzong's performance, Tianxuan was satisfied, but he still pretended to be very sorry on his face: "General Yang and General Shi are like brothers, and the brotherhood makes me envious." But General Yang also asked to put aside the pain first, avenge General Shi, and protect the southwest is the most important thing at the moment. ”

"You're right, Mr. Tianxuan. When you came here just now, you said that you wanted to talk to me about cooperation, but I don't know, what kind of cooperation method is it?"

"General, listen to me, Tianshu and I hope that the general will lead his troops to meet the Yang Yu army, and then we will take the opportunity to sneak into the depths of the enemy formation, find the commander and the imperial capital ten swords and kill them personally. And once the ten swords and the commander of the imperial capital who came this time are all killed, General Yang will only face a group of rabble, and victory will only be captured. ”

"Just do as you say, early tomorrow morning, I will set out, gather the entire southwest army horses, and three days later, fight to the death with the bastards sent by the imperial capital!"

"Then I'll wait for the general and go out to the army. After that, Tianxuan's figure flickered, and he disappeared directly into Yang Tianzong's camp.

"Tianxuan, how are you doing?"

"Brother Tianshu, don't worry. Everything went very smoothly as we planned. Three days later, Yang Tianzong's idiot will lead his troops to attack, and I promised him that we would kill the Ten Swords of the Imperial Capital. When the time comes, after we kill the mission directly, we will leave directly, and after the ten swords of the imperial capital are discovered, we will leave a long time ago. At that time, let Yang Tianzong and his southwestern soldiers bear their wrath. ”

"I'm still worried, after all, the people around him are too strong, and I always feel that our mission will not go well. ”

"Oh, Brother Tianshu, you can rest assured. I have observed these ten swords of the imperial capital, and they are not as good as a Tang slasher together, even if we really meet, it is still no problem to escape. As for the target of killing, in this melee, even they can't protect him. So, Brother Tianshu, don't worry, the bounty of one thousand taels for this mission must be won by you and me. ”

"It's a pity for Yaoguang and their brothers. ”

"What's the pity, Yaoguang and the three of them, always walk together, you don't know what kind of heart An's heart is? They want to take our place, they don't look at it, how many times we have done the task of birth and death, and then the master of the god machine said that whoever knows more of the seven stunts, who will rank high, but the three of them, in addition to knowing a little bit of the seven stunts, how many times have the really dangerous tasks been done? Originally, the owner wanted to cultivate them, so this mission sent them, but I didn't expect that the three of them died here. This also lets the owner know that when he really wants to kill someone, he can't just learn some skills. ”

"That being said, alas, forget it, let's rest. In the past few days, we will recharge our energy and wait until three days later, which is the time for us to do it. ”

In the early morning of the next day, Yang Tianzong woke up early, he rushed directly to Qingyang City with a team of soldiers and horses, at this time, the entire Qingyang City was sad, Shi Tianhu, who had always been loved, was suddenly killed, and almost all the people of the city put on mourning clothes and shouted to avenge General Shi.

Yang Tianzong did not stop, and directly led the troops to the City Lord's Mansion, when he entered the City Lord's Mansion, he saw the corpse of Shi Tianhu that was being placed in the hall, and roared loudly! Then Yang Tianzong slammed his head at Shi Tianhu's corpse three times: "Tianhu, without you, there would be no Yang Tianzong today for me." Now, Tianhu, you have been killed by thieves, I will definitely bring the soldiers and horses from the southwest to ask for an explanation for you, Tianhu, you just wait, three days later, I will bring their heads to you to make a memorial!"

With that, Yang Tianzong got up from the ground and walked to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and the people who came to mourn General Shi also stopped. Yang Tianzong coughed lightly twice: "Everyone, it was the general of the enemy army who killed the Heavenly Tiger. Three days later, I, Yang Tianzong, will take all the soldiers and horses of Qingfeng City out of the city to meet the enemy, if you have the heart to avenge General Shi, you will meet the enemy with me in three days!"

A young man walked out of the ranks, raised his right hand high, and shouted: "I am willing to follow General Yang and avenge General Shi!"

Another man stood up: "I am willing to follow General Yang and avenge General Shi!"

An individual stood up from the ranks, shouting the same slogan, in the past, Shi Tianhu used his own actions to maintain the joy of Qingyang City, but now, it is the turn of the people of Qingyang City to defend the dignity of their general! The general can die in battle, but his body is not intact after death, this is an insult to them! Almost all the people of Qingyang City stood in the city lord's mansion and the streets in front of them, shouting in unison, and the sound was so loud that it had even reached the Yang Yu army stationed near Qingyang City.

Yumo and Feng Mo were leading troops to patrol at this time, and Yuan Li was still in the camp, as for whether he was lying on the side of the beauty or studying the way to break through Qingyang City, no one knew. Because after Feng Mo and Tang Yuxiao met Yuan Li, Yuan Li ordered that no one was allowed to enter his camp tent again, even if it was a soldier who delivered food, he only needed to bring the food to the door of the camp tent, and then he could leave after making a report.

Tang Yuxiao saw Yuan Li's actions, he was depressed, feeling sorry for his sister, but he was helpless, and finally had to sulk in the camp alone. And although Yumo and Feng Mo didn't understand Yuan Li's approach, they at least believed that Yuan Li knew what he should do, so the two of them didn't have too much to worry about, so they took a team out of the city to patrol, and they also planned to find out if they could see the flaws in Qingyang City.

"Shi Tianhu is dead?" Yumo heard the shouts in the city and looked at Feng Mo with a puzzled expression: "Isn't Shi Tianhu the city lord of Qingyang City?

"I don't know, but isn't it better?"

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you hear them say that they were going out of the city to meet the enemy? We only need to win this battle, at least Qingyang City is ours. ”

"But even if Qingyang City is breached, the people in Qingyang City are so angry with us, how do you say we enter the city? I am a little afraid that the battle will be won, and they will kill us. ”

"There's no need to worry about this, as long as we find someone who can kill Shi Tianhu, we can eliminate our grievances. Judging from the respect of these subjects for Shi Tianhu, if we find the person who killed Shi Tianhu, we will basically be able to win the hearts of the people. ”

Feng Mo and Yumo drove their horses and continued to walk forward, the shouts in the city were still continuing, but Feng Mo's attention at this time had been placed on the city wall of Qingyang City, according to the situation in Qingyang City, Feng Mo thought that there were only two kinds of people who killed Shi Tianhu, one was someone who wanted to fight with the Yang Yu army, and the other was an outsider. The former is understandable, but the latter, how did he get in from such a high wall?
