147: Alone

The "devil" of the four heavenly demons, Xue Bujiao, is famous for his murder and evil deeds. For decades, he has caused countless bloody cases single-handedly. Even if you are not from the rivers and lakes, you still know his name. Even when a three-year-old child hears the word "devil", he will immediately stop crying and hide in his parents' arms.

If you say that in the past, everyone only stayed in the rumors about the power of the "devil", and did not know whether it was true or false. So today, how powerful the "devil" is, but everyone has seen it with their own eyes.

Guo Qiufeng, Zhuang Dong, Xuanyuan Tian, Peng Taizheng and other four head catchers all enjoy great fame in the six doors. The Jiangyang thieves planted under their hands, even if they don't add up to a hundred, at least seventy or eighty. But the four headhunters who were so powerful unconsciously took the initiative to step into the trap arranged by the "devil" and were silently captured. The means of the "devil" are really chilling.

It's just that such a powerful "devil" couldn't hold on for even a quarter of an hour under Cheng Li's hands. "Dragon City Marquis" ruthlessly cracked the trap set by the "devil" with incomparably dignified and righteous means. As for the poison planted by the demon, it can't cause half of the harm to the Marquis of Long Cheng. This miraculous scene, looking at the eyes of the reinforcements on the right, how could it not surprise and admire them?

The soldiers on the right side of the reinforcements, one of them is counted as one, all of them are wealthy and noble families in Baiyujing, and they are extremely arrogant. It is true that they were ordered by their own masters to come to assemble an army, obey Cheng Li's command and dispatch, and never dare to openly disobey orders. But Cheng Li is younger, and his appearance is more handsome and abnormal. And how much skill he has, no one has seen with their own eyes.

Therefore, even if these arrogant soldiers and fierce generals don't say anything, they really despise Cheng Li a little in their hearts. This is a big reason why they behave like a rabble.

But since Sanjiazi, the world has changed hands three times. Wars are frequent, resulting in a strong civil martial arts. It is human nature to worship the strong. Now that they have witnessed the true ability of this "Marquis of Longcheng", these family members are not only shocked, but also awe-inspiring. Thinking back to the various performances of these people since their departure, they all subconsciously sweated for it, and their hearts bred a very strong fear.

Therefore, it can also be said that Cheng Li's "invasion of the sun" just now not only killed the life of the "demon" Xue Bujiao. At the same time, he also killed nearly 1,000 reinforcements on the right behind him, and he was arrogant and contemptuous in his heart.

Although, they got all this at the cost of the lives of more than 100 people. But if you think about it differently, the lessons learned by blood are always more impressive. It's much better to be able to wake up early than to be obsessed when you are at war with reinforcements.

Everything seems to be going for the better. But it's not that there are no disadvantages. At the very least, after such a big fuss from the "devil". The smooth track was destroyed and crumbled. In addition, there are more than 100 corpses and bones, and they cannot be ignored. Zhuang Dong, Guo Qiufeng and other four head catchers have not solved the poison of "blood agarwood", and they are still unconscious. The remaining reinforcements also need to be reorganized.

Therefore, the reinforcements had no choice but to temporarily retreat to the side of the main road, choose a fairly flat place, and set up camp, to rest first, and then go on the road.

As the saying goes: "The emperor is not a hungry soldier". Although today the son is now in prison. But the reinforcements on the left and right are all contributing to the rescue of the Son of Heaven. Therefore, the imperial court (in fact, Zhuge Taifu, who presided over the government), did not hesitate to allocate all kinds of materials as a guarantee for the success of their trip.

There were not many other things for the reinforcements on the two routes, and all kinds of materials needed for logistics, such as food, tents, tools, etc., were all available. Since these wealthy families have been convinced by Cheng Li, and even bowed their heads to him, they naturally let them do whatever they want. With the concerted efforts of everyone, it didn't take long for a temporary military camp capable of accommodating nearly a thousand soldiers to be established. There is the largest tent in the middle of the barracks, which naturally belongs to the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the big tent, only Cheng Li and Fang Zhanmei were sitting at this moment. Guo Qiufeng, Zhuang Dong, Xuanyuan Tian, Peng Taizheng and other four head catchers were lying on the felt laid on the ground, although their eyes were wide open, they all seemed to have been cut off from their bodies and consciousness, and they couldn't command their bodies at all.

Fang Zhanmei took the lead in sighing and said, "Poison in the world." Both can be roughly divided into two types. One is chronic and the other is acute. The acute poison attack was violent. However, as long as the antidote is symptomatic, it can also be detoxified quickly, and there are very few after-effects.

In contrast, chronic poisons are much more insidious and troublesome. Although it rarely kills immediately, once poisoned, it will penetrate deep into the internal organs and cemented with qi and blood, and even if it can be detoxified, it will often cause endless trouble. The legacy is deeper. Obviously, blood agarwood is a chronic poison. ”

Cheng Li said slowly: "Demon Xue said that if you are poisoned by blood agarwood, you will not be able to move for at least a day and a night. It's only been a few hours, and it's going to take more than half a day. But even if the time has passed. It's hard to say whether the four headhunters will be able to recover to what state. But saving people is like fighting fire, and we really can't stop and wait so long on the road. ”

Fang Zhan frowned and sighed: "There are only two ways that can be done now. Or leave some of the people behind and guard the four headhunters here. The brigade advanced alone. Either simply send the four headhunters back to Bai Yujing, and we will act on our own. There is no third way. ”

Cheng Li shook his head and said: "The essence of the two methods is to divide the troops, which will only further weaken our strength. So it's not feasible. But if the division of troops is inevitable, then I have a third way. That is, Brother Fang, you will lead the brigade to be stationed on the spot, and after reorganizing the troops first, then slowly march along the main road. As for me, I went to Westtown alone. ”

Fang Zhanmei was taken aback and said, "Xizhen is being besieged by the rebels. Among them, there are even top masters such as the Nine Shadow God Monarch and the Extinction King. Although Brother Cheng has cultivated to the world, it is too dangerous to go alone, no matter how you look at it? If this matter can really be done by one person, then why did we have to recruit reinforcements before? Brother Fang, please think twice. ”

Cheng Li said in a condensed voice: "I have thought about it carefully. Indeed, under the premise that the situation in Xizhen is not clear, it is indeed difficult for me to act alone to save the crisis in Xizhen. But think about it, if I don't want to save the whole town of Xizhen, as long as I save the town lord Lan Yuanshan alone, then with my ability, it is not difficult to do it. ”

Fang Zhan frowned and said in a deep voice, "As long as you save the Blue Town Lord, if it's just like this, it seems to be really feasible." However, there are too many unpredictable factors, and the risks are still extremely high. Brother Cheng, don't think about it anymore? After all, prudence is the best. ”

Cheng Li shook his head and said, "I've thought about it very clearly. In the current situation, I will act alone, and you will lead the brigade from behind, Brother Fang, this is the most appropriate way. So be it. ”

Fang Zhanmei sighed: "Okay, Brother Cheng, you are the boss, everything is up to you." So, when will Brother Cheng leave?"

Cheng Li stood up and said, "It's now." ”

Fang Zhanmei nodded, also stood up, hugged his fists at Cheng Li and said, "Brother Cheng, have a good trip." Little brother hereby wishes you success. ”

Cheng Li said with a smile: "Accept your words." Without further ado, he turned around and pulled the curtain open and walked out. After a few moments, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and finally it was no longer heard.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, only Fang Zhanmei was left. On that originally handsome face, there was also a quiet change. It was unprecedented, never before shown in front of anyone, and it was a mixture of majesty and gloom. At this moment, at first glance, he doesn't look like just a "Hou", but more like-

"King!"

Squinting his eyes slightly, Fang Zhan's eyebrows suddenly raised his hand, and he shot four fingers in the air. Guo Qiufeng, Zhuang Dong, Xuanyuan Tian, Peng Taizheng and other four head catchers lying on the carpet in the tent, the sleeping hole on their bodies was hit by the fingers, and the four of them had fallen asleep without being conscious.

Fang Zhanmei exhaled lightly and said in a deep voice, "Where is the blood slave?"

Before the sound fell, there was a breeze blowing in the tent of the Chinese army. When the wind stopped, he saw thirteen shadows, silently appearing. Like thirteen ghosts, and like thirteen minions, they surrounded Fang Zhanmei, the master.

Immediately afterwards, the thirteen ghostly minions knelt down on one knee at the same time, and made a strange voice that seemed to be extremely far away, but also very close, hollow, and had no sense of substance.

"Nether Blood Slave, see Master. ”

Fang Zhanmei said lightly: "Cheng Li went to Xizhen alone, and this is a good opportunity. Number one to number four, sneaking up to keep up. Discover anything. All are reported immediately. From the 5th to the 10th, they went to intercept the reinforcements from Nanzhai. You don't need to kill them all, just delay as long as you can and don't let them get in the way. ”

Thirteen Nether Blood Slaves were ordered at the same time. Then, another breeze passed, and the tent of the Chinese army had already returned to an empty place. It's as if the thirteen Nether Blood Slaves just now were just illusions and never existed.

Fang Zhanmei smiled indifferently, pulled open the curtain, and walked out of the tent. Looking up at the night sky, I saw a bright moon in the sky. Cold and clear light spreads all over the earth.

The little marquis was leisurely, admiring the moon in a chic manner, and muttered: "At that time, the bright moon was there, and he returned to the clouds." Cheng Li, Cheng Li, this time you go to Xizhen, you must not have imagined that there will be a big surprise waiting for you. Hehe~ I just don't know, can you pass this level.

But in any case, the person who gets the most benefit in the end will always be Ben Hou. Whether you are Cheng Li or the King of Extermination, in the end, it is just a stepping stone for Benhou to step into the world. ”
