Seeing the golden beam, Fan Long's complexion changed greatly, the purple light at the center of his eyebrows was flourishing, and a purple treasure mirror appeared out of thin air, which could block the beam, and the violent trembling light dimmed into the center of Fan Long's eyebrows.

Fan Long, whose face was pale and blood was spilling from the corners of his mouth, almost fell to the ground with a shake of his body, and the golden rope in his hand also turned into a golden light and submerged into his body.

"Damn!" Fan Long scolded in a low voice, his face was ugly and dripping: "Quick, follow me to kill the Tang army who entered the pass!" ”

Fan Hu, who responded, didn't care too much, and hurriedly went down the city with the seriously injured Fan Long, and killed him in the pass.

"Let's go!" Dou Xiantong and Xue Jinlian, who had withdrawn the divine whip, glanced at each other, and flew to Guancheng together.

At this moment, Shan Ximu, who had entered the Guan, took the lead, and was fighting with Dou Yihu and the Xiliang soldiers who poured out of the Guannei, and the two sides were strangled together, making the Guanmen become like a meat grinder, blood was splashed, and there were more and more corpses.

"Huh?" Killing to the front, Shan Ximu, who was like a tiger into a flock, suddenly raised his head as if he was aware of it, looked at the golden seal like a hill that fell in the air, and couldn't help but turn around and shouted: "Hurry up!" ”

Dou Yihu, Qin Han and the others looked up and suddenly changed color, and walked towards the houses on both sides of the street.

However, the other Tang troops and even those Xiliang soldiers did not have such good skills, how to open more.

"No!" Feeling a darkness overhead, the soldiers on both sides looked up with earthy faces.

There was a dull thud, and a large golden seal like a hill fell to the ground. caused the ground to drop a full foot, and tightly closed the door.

"Kill!" The Fan Long and Fan Hu brothers, who came down from above the city, shouted with surprise on their faces when they saw this.

In a flash. In the hurried footsteps, more and more Xiliang soldiers poured in like a tide, and the remaining Tang soldiers who were lucky enough to be spared were not spared, and they were soon killed.

"Big Brother Shan!" Dou Yihu, Qin Han, Qin Ying, and Luo Zhang surrounded Shan Ximu, and looked at the Xiliang soldiers who came up around with ugly faces.

Shan Ximu looked at the four of them and breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked, "Are you all right?" ”

"It's fine!" Luo Zhang gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "We are fine, but the Tang Jun brothers who followed us are all dead!" ”

Qin Han seemed much calmer: "Big Brother Shan, what should I do now?" ”

"What else can I do? Kill him and bleed like a river! Dou Yihu shouted with a sinister face. To know. Many of the sergeants who died just now were his brothers on the chessboard mountain!

Shan Ximu frowned and shouted: "Don't be impulsive!" Now it's impossible to conquer Hanjiang Pass, let's go first! ”

"Shoot the arrows!" Fan Hu had already commanded the archers who had gathered to bend their bows and arrows.

Sneering through the air. Dou Yihu and the others all changed their faces and hurriedly blocked with the weapons in their hands.

"Hand in hand, I'll take you with me! Fast! Shan Ximu, who snorted in a low voice, directly reached out and grabbed Dou Yihu's arm.

Several people looked at each other and immediately put their hands together.

"Let's go!" Shan Ximu who snorted lowly. flew up directly, and took Dou Yihu and the four of them to the outside of the city.

"Shoot the arrows!" Fan Hu shouted fiercely with a fierce face. The second wave of arrows adjusted by the archers below shot out like rain in midair, instantly enveloping Shan Ximu and the others.

The faces of the few people who changed slightly were all blocking with their respective weapons in one hand like lightning.

Qin Han, who was holding a sledgehammer with insufficient dexterity, was shot in the calf by an arrow, and couldn't help but gasp.

"Brother!" Seeing this, Qin Ying's face changed, and the spear in his hand turned into an afterimage to help Qin Han take the lead in other arrows.

Qin Ying, who was distracted to help Qin Han, saw that he was about to be shot in the shoulder by an arrow, and Shan Ximu blocked the arrow with a long lance in his hand, allowing the two arrows that shot at him to shoot on his shoulder and thigh respectively. But it only made a sonorous sound of gold and iron clashing.

It's tedious to say, but in fact, one qiē just happens in the space of one or two breaths.

Seeing that Shan Ximu was going to fly out of Guancheng with Dou Yihu and the four of them. The mountain-like golden seal suddenly flew up and smashed towards the five of them.

"Huh?" Shan Ximu, whose complexion changed, suddenly threw Dou Yihu and the four people behind him, and stabbed towards the golden seal with one hand, and the arm that was torn by the tiger's mouth instantly shook, and the wolf flew out with Dou Yihu and the four people.

On the closing city, Dou Xiantong and Xue Jinlian looked up at the golden seal and shot at the same time.

The sneering Jin Yan's light shot out, only to make the golden seal tremble slightly.

The long sword of sonorous ice flew on the golden seal, but the light that made the golden seal tremble suddenly dimmed, turned into a golden streamer and flew into the Hanjiang Pass, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Puff Xue Jinlian and Dou Xiantong stumbled almost at the same time, vomiting blood in their mouths.

"Let's go!" The two daughters, who knew that it was difficult to win the pass today, looked at each other and hurriedly flew away.

The Fan Long and Fan Hu brothers, who came out of the closed gate, looked at the generals of the Tang Army and countless Tang Army soldiers who destroyed the suspension bridge, and couldn't help but look at each other with a sneer: "Cunning Tang Army, didn't expect it?" Now that the suspension bridge is broken, even if the gate is destroyed, I think you will attack the Hanjiang Pass. ”

"Fan Long! Fan Hu! Don't rejoice too soon, brothers! Li Luanhu said coldly with a cold face.

When Fan Hu heard this, he immediately sneered and said: "Li Luanhu, anyone can say big things, you have the ability to attack it!" ”

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!" Li Luanhu, who snorted in a low voice, directly waved his hand, and an arched metal bridge appeared out of thin air, across the Hanjiang River, and the other end was directly connected to the outside of the Hanjiang Pass.

The generals of the Tang army were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Luanhu with surprise and fiery expressions on their faces.

"Attack the Hanjiang Pass!" Li Luanhu, who shouted loudly, took the lead on the metal arch bridge.

Subsequently, General Wang and other generals of the Tang Army, as well as countless Tang troops like a tide, also rushed up.

"This" Dou Yihu and the others looked at each other, speechless for a while.

Shan Ximu, Xue Jinlian and Dou Xiantong looked at each other. It was suddenly in his heart that Li Luanhu should have been prepared.

Xue Jinlian was even more depressed: "This arch bridge magic weapon is very ordinary, we can refine one by any person." Why didn't we think of it before? ”

"There are masters in Hanjiang Pass, and Li Luanhu is not so easy to defeat Fan Long and Fan Hu brothers and attack Hanjiang Pass!" Dou Xiantong shook his head slightly with beautiful eyes, and then lifted the reins of the horse and said, "Let's go!" Let's do it too! You can't just watch from here, can you? ”

"Humph!" Xue Jinlian, who snorted, had no choice but to follow the crowd and ride her horse towards Hanjiang Pass.

"Big brother! What to do? Fan Hu was dumbfounded for a while, and looked at Fan Long in a daze.

Fan Long, who had an ugly face, gritted his teeth and roared: "Shit! Walk. Return to Fan Mansion first. ”

"Retreat?" Fan Hu looked at Fan Long in surprise, and hurriedly said, "Big brother, this retreat is all over." ”

"Don't talk nonsense! You can't stop it here! Fan Long shouted: "Return to the house." At least Luo Tong and Qin Huaiyu are still in our hands, and there is still room for maneuver. ”

When Fan Hu heard this, he suddenly nodded, and hurriedly led the soldiers with Fan Long to fight and retreat.

The Tang army easily invaded the Hanjiang Pass, occupying the streets and walls of the Hanjiang Pass like a tidal wave, and in a short time, they either killed or captured most of the soldiers of the Hanjiang Pass. The Fan Long and Fan Hu brothers and the elite soldiers of Xiaobanhan Jiangguan were trapped in the Fan Mansion.

"Passed on the handsome order. Surround Fan Mansion, don't attack for the time being! Li Luanhu, who rode his horse to the outside of Fan's mansion, shouted.

The sound of horses' hooves and footsteps continued, and after a short time, a large number of Tang troops surrounded Fanfu, with swords and guns like a forest, and the momentum was terrifying.

Li Luanhu, who was surrounded by all the generals, looked at the gate of Fanfu Mansion in front of him with electric eyes, and shouted loudly: "Fan Long, Fan Hu, don't resist stubbornly." As long as you hand over General Luo and General Qin. I can spare your lives. If you are willing to open the door and surrender, this commander promises. The imperial court will never treat you badly, and can even let you continue to guard the Hanjiang Pass. ”

Listening to Li Luanhu's words, Xue Jinlian, Dou Xiantong and the others looked at each other, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Is he so kind? How did you suddenly become so talkative? Luo Zhang was skeptical.

Qin Ying said with a slight sneer in his eyes: "I'm afraid I just want to buy people's hearts!" Speaking of which, that Fan Long and Fan Hu are indeed powerful, and it is normal for Li Luanhu to want to subdue them. ”

"Anyway, when Li Luanhu said this, Fan Long and Fan Hu won't harm their father and Uncle Luo as long as they are not stupid," Qin Han also said.

Qin Ying immediately nodded and said, "That's right, I don't want them to be die-hard, they shouldn't do anything that will end up together." Otherwise, when the door is closed, it will not return to Fanfu to defend it. ”

"If they are willing to let their father and Uncle Qin go, they will be counted as acquaintances, otherwise," Luo Zhang's face was full of anger.

The closed door of Fanfu didn't move for a long time, and Li Luanhu's face became colder and colder, and finally shouted as if he had lost patience: "The soldiers of the three armies listen to the order, and the crossbowmen are ready!" ”

"Marshal, please wait a little longer! General Luo and General Qin are still in the hands of Fan Long and Fan Hu," Dou Xiantong hurriedly stepped forward when he saw this.

Li Luanhu, who glanced sideways at Dou Xiantong and frowned, was silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay!" Then Ben Shuai gave them another cup of tea. If they are not interested, then it is no wonder that Ben Shuai is ruthless. ”

"Thank you, Marshal!" Dou Xiantong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and arched his hand.

Qin Han, Qin Ying and Luo Zhang looked at each other, but they didn't have the same ease as before, and they all raised their hearts.

Seeing that the time for a cup of tea was approaching, Xue Jinlian, who was frowning, couldn't help gritting her teeth and preparing to start.

And at this moment, there was a 'squeak', but the door of Fan's Mansion suddenly opened.

The brothers Fan Long and Fan Hu walked out first with a little depression, followed by Luo Tong and Qin Huaiyu who were pressed by a few Xiliang elite soldiers.

"Marshal Li, our brother is willing to bow to the wind and is willing to surrender to the marshal, hoping that the marshal will take care of his subordinates regardless of his past suspicions!" Fan Long and Fan Hu, who glanced at each other, stepped forward together and knelt down on one knee to Li Luanhu and bowed their hands.

"Haha, good!" Li Luanhu was overjoyed, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to help the two with a smile: "Today, with the help of the two generals, this commander is like a tiger with wings!" By the way, the two generals still didn't release General Qin and General Luo! ”

Fan Long and Fan Hu also hurriedly responded, and one by one they untied the ropes on their bodies for Luo Tong and Qin Huaiyu.

"General Luo! General Qin! Let you suffer! Li Luanhu stepped forward and bowed to the two.

Qin Huaiyu and Luo Tong were confused at this moment, and Luo Tong couldn't help but look at Li Luanhu with a slight frown: "Marshal Li? What about Ding Shan? ”

"General Luo doesn't know. Previously, Marshal Xue was defeated by General Fan Long and was captured by General Fan Long. The emperor was furious, so he removed Marshal Xue from his post. Appointed me as Marshal of the Expedition to the West," Li Luanhu explained with a light smile.

As soon as Li Luanhu's words came out, Luo Tong and Qin Huaiyu's faces changed, and they couldn't believe it, and looked at Fan Long, who was lowering his eyebrows and hanging his hands but couldn't hide a trace of rebelliousness, and then looked at Li Luanhu, whose expressions were a little unnatural.

"Marshal Lee!" The two of them, who looked at each other, still bowed to Li Luanhu: "Thank you Marshal Li for saving your life!" ”

Li Luanhu looked very polite: "The two generals must not be like this, they have tormented Luanhu!" Luan Hu's ability is limited. Only by the emperor's grace can he act as a marshal. The two generals were able to get out of trouble, thanks to the emperor's blessing! ”

Listening to Li Luanhu's sycophants. Qin Huaiyu and Luo Tong, who were tired in their hearts, had no choice but to reconcile.

On the side, Fan Long politely greeted Li Luanhu and said, "Marshal, let's go to the mansion to rest first!" ”

Two days later, Suoyang City. Emperor's Palace. In the main hall, Li Zhi, who was looking at the good news in front of him, couldn't help but slap his palm on the table with a happy face: "Okay!" Haha, this Luanhu, sure enough, didn't disappoint me! In a short period of time, the Hanjiang Pass was broken, and two fierce generals were also accepted, well done! ”

"The emperor is blessed, congratulations to the emperor!" The eunuch standing on the side smiled flatteringly.

Li Zhi, who nodded with a smile, couldn't help but say, "Hmm! Luan Hu fought this battle beautifully. It should be rewarded. So, you go and prepare. Go to Hanjiang Pass in person and reward the three armies. ”

"The emperor is wise, the slave will do it!" The eunuch responded and hurriedly retreated respectfully.

However, not long after the eunuch left, Li Zhi, who was secretly happy, heard the voice of the little waiter outside: "Your Majesty, Xu Junshi's retainers have come to report, Xu Junshi is seriously ill, and he is afraid that his life will be short, and he wants to see the emperor." ”

"What?" Li Zhi suddenly changed color when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up, his face changed for a while: "Xu Aiqing"

Xu Maogong just rushed back to Suoyang City yesterday, because his body was not good, he fell ill, and had to come back to recuperate.

Li Zhi was in a bad mood because of the previous defeat at Hanjiang Pass, he was dissatisfied with Xue Rengui's father and son, and he didn't even have a good attitude towards Xu Maogong, so he didn't ask, and he didn't expect to hear such news today.

Duke Xu Mao was the prince of the dynasty and the pillar of the court, but Li Shimin left Li Zhi's arm. Now, hearing that this Optimus Prime is about to fall, how can Li Zhi not panic?

Regardless of the original dissatisfaction in his heart, Li Zhi heard that Xu Maogong was critically ill, and hurriedly drove to see Xu Maogong.

Xu Maogong's residence is very simple.

When Li Zhi arrived here, Cheng Yanjin, who came back with Xu Maogong, was already crying in front of the bed.

"Xu Aiqing!" Hearing the cry of the ghost crying wolf, Li Zhi, who was shocked, suddenly moved much faster, and almost rushed into the inner room.

On the bed, Xu Maogong, who was very haggard and weak, looked at Cheng Yanjin on the side helplessly: "Old Cheng! The old man is not dead yet! Why are you crying? ”

"Third brother! I'll cry again when you're dead, can you still hear me? Cheng bites Jin Dao.

Xu Maogong was speechless when he heard this. Li Zhi, who came in from outside in a hurry, was also speechless.

"Xu Aiqing! I'm scared to death! Li Zhi, who came to the bed, couldn't help but look at Cheng Yanjin and said angrily: "Cheng is a thousand years old, Xu Aiqing is not dead, what are you crying about?" ”

Cheng Yanjin saw that Li Zhi was coming, but he cried even louder: "Your Majesty, the old minister is sad!" The old minister and the old brothers have lived and died together for decades, and they have done their best for the Tang Dynasty! Watching them die one by one, Lao Chen can't wait to die on their behalf! The Emperor"

"Cheng Cheng is a thousand years old! Don't do that! Don't cry and hurt yourself! Seeing this, Li Zhi suddenly became two heads and two big, and hurriedly comforted him gently.

"Your Majesty!" Xu Maogong, who was on the couch, looked at Li Zhi and said weakly.

Li Zhi hurriedly sat down in front of the couch and said with concern: "I'm here!" Xu Aiqing, how are you? ”

"Thank you for the emperor's concern, I'm afraid that the old minister will no longer be able to serve the emperor," Xu Maogong said slowly.

When Li Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, and hurriedly said: "Xu Aiqing, don't say that!" You have to take good care of your body, you will definitely get better. I immediately sent the Imperial Doctor to the Imperial Doctor. ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry about the old ministers!" Xu Maogong shook his head and hurriedly said: "The old minister's body, I know it myself. The old minister knew that time was running out, and he had a few heartfelt words to say to the emperor. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Xu Aiqing has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I listen!" ”

"Your Majesty, Xue Rengui's father and son are all handsome! Since the Western Expedition, he has experienced life and death for a long time, and he has been willing to fight every battle. Rengui was plotted by Su Baotong, and his body has not fully recovered. Xue Dingshan is young and talented, and since he took command, he has been the first in every war. They are all loyal to the emperor! "Xu Mao is fair.

Li Zhi's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he nodded: "I understand!" Xu Aiqing, I"

"Your Majesty, the battle of Hanjiang Pass is not that Xue Dingshan is incompetent, but that Fan Long and Fan Hu are really difficult to deal with," Xu Maogong shook his head and said without waiting for Li Zhi to finish speaking: "Although Li Luanhu is a general, it is not necessarily appropriate to ask him to be handsome." If the emperor doesn't believe it and waits and sees, he will eventually see the clues. Please emperor, don't hurt the hearts of loyal ministers! The emperor must not forget how difficult it was to invite Xue Rengui three times. If the emperor still has a mustard in his heart because of this, it really shouldn't be! The old minister dared to say, the emperor, who is a monarch, sits on the four seas, beware of the world! ”

Xu Maogong's words made Li Zhi's face change for a while, and his face turned red: "Xu Aiqing"

"Your Majesty! The old minister and the old minister are going to see the first emperor," Xu Maogong, who said in a trembling voice, slowly dissipated the brilliance in his eyes.

"Xu Aiqing!" Li Zhi's face changed and he hurriedly shouted.

Cheng Yanjin was slightly stunned, and then let out a miserable cry like killing a pig: "Third brother! (To be continued......)
