Shao Rong was really angry in his heart, someone dared to hold the marshal hostage? Therefore, he led his own soldiers to salute Guo Tianxu, who ran out of the inner hall, and rushed into the house, waving the ghost head dagger in his hand with a gust of wind to slash at Shang Yu's head, and the powerful and fierce bloody momentum quickly pressed up from him.
And when his big knife was cut down, seeing that the other party was just a young man, and he actually dared to use a small dagger to resist his attack, he couldn't help sneering in his heart: "Shao Mou is the first brave general in the Chuzhou army, this little traitor really doesn't know whether to live or die, and he actually wants to block the car with his mantis arm!" ”
Shang Yu had no way to retreat, there was a wooden cabinet behind him, so he had to wave the dagger to block the ghost head knife, when the dagger touched the ghost head knife, Shang Yu only felt a strong sharp pain from his arm, and a sour numbness also hit the whole body.
At the same time as receiving this blow, most of Shang Yu's body began to go numb, but miraculously, he actually used an ordinary dagger to block the thunderous blow of Shao Rong, the first fierce general in Chuzhou.
After Shao Rong and Shang Yu's blow, his ghost head knife was also countershocked, which surprised him, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back in fright, and joined Guo Zixing's army at the same time as Zhu Yuanzhang.
Seeing that Shang Yu could resist his blow with all his strength with a small dagger, how could he not be shocked? But it was only for the time between his breaths that he swung his knife and slashed at Shang Yu again.
At this time, most of Shang Yu's body was already unconscious and numb, and the other party attacked him again, he screamed bitterly in his heart: "This time my Shang Yu is a small life!" How can this person be so brave? ”
Seeing that the other party was waving a big knife, he couldn't dodge, but at this moment, he heard a coquettish voice beside him: "Shao Rong, don't be rude!" With me Ma Xiuying here, how dare you be so presumptuous? ”
As he spoke, a brocade quilt fell from the sky and covered Shao Rong's head and face, Ma Xiuying saw that Shang Yu could actually block Shao Rong's blow with a dagger, and she couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but seeing Shang Yu's pale expression, she must not be able to withstand another attack, she didn't have any weapons around her, so she turned around and picked up the brocade from the soft collapse and barely used it as a weapon.
Shao Rong saw a brocade quilt coming, and immediately flew back a few steps to avoid the area covered by the brocade quilt, only then did he see clearly that it was Ma Xiuying standing next to the bed, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Miss? How could it be you, the one behind the rebellion that instructed this young thief? Otherwise, why would you defend him? ”
Ma Xiuying is Guo Zixing's righteous daughter, everyone in the world knows it, but he just saw Guo Tianxu get out of Shang Yu's hands with his own eyes outside the door, and he didn't notice Ma Xiuying, at this time Ma Xiuying actually defended Shang Yu, it was normal for him to have such suspicions, but it was just too incredible for him.
"Shao Rong, do you know who this young man is? Why did you hold the marshal hostage? Although Shao Rong is a brave general, he is always a little reckless, and when Ma Xiuying saw him asking, he asked instead of answering.
"Miss, the last general should listen to you for a reason! But at this time, this person must not be spared, otherwise my Chuzhou rebels will be disgraced. Wait until the end will kill this person, and then listen to you! After Shao Rong listened to Ma Xiuying's words, he even believed in his heart that Ma Xiuying instructed Shang Yu to coerce Guo Tianxu in order to make her husband Zhu Yuanzhang the boss.
As he spoke, Shao Rong's figure floated to the other side in a flash, and the ghost head knife slashed towards Shang Yu again.
Ma Xiuying screamed in her heart, but the qi in her body was stunned, and her body finally did not fully recover due to the invasion for several days, but she was unable to wave the brocade and was blocked by Shao Rong again.
Shang Yu was a little depressed in his heart at this time, and thought to himself: "The number one fierce general in this army is such a stunned young man!" If Chuzhou is only such a general, how can the people of the Central Plains be reborn? Seeing that the other party was slashing at him again, he already had the heart of death.
Ma Xiuying was anxious on the side and said coquettishly: "Shao Rong, don't hurt him, he is the heir of the Shang Alliance." ”
When Shao Rong heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, but the big knife in his hand was only one foot away from Shang Yu's neck, Ma Xiuying's words were really late, it was easy to exert force and difficult to retract, he couldn't stop swinging the knife in his hand at Shang Yu in such a short time, even if he wanted to turn, it was extremely difficult.
At this time, Shang Yu suddenly found that everything around him became silent, as if everything had become slow, and a warm current rose from his abdomen and instantly flowed throughout his body.
The numb feeling in his body disappeared immediately, but in a blink of an eye, he saw that Shao Rong in front of him seemed to be still, and the ghost-headed big knife stopped a foot away from his neck.
"Strange! Why didn't Shao Rong move? Shang Yu wanted to make a sound, but found that no sound came out of his open mouth at all, and he turned his eyes to look at Ma Xiuying, only to see that she was also standing aside with a brocade quilt, but the brocade quilt in her hand was half raised and stagnant in mid-air.
Shang Yu looked at the strange scene in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he only froze for a moment before he realized it in his heart, and immediately reached out to take Shao Rong's ghost head knife from his hand and throw it on the ground, and then walked over and took the brocade quilt from Ma Xiuying's hand and put it in Shao Rong's hand.
Then he turned Shao Rong's body in a different direction, so that he was facing the table not far from the bed, and then placed a stool in front of Shao Rong's knees, and after doing these movements, Shang Yu slowly turned around and walked back to where he had been standing.
"Maybe it's the warm current that makes me extremely fast, if only I could have this ability at any time, but unfortunately the warm current in my body can't be controlled by me at will." Thinking of this, Shang Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
A few days ago, after he was taught by Ma Xiuying to learn Ma Zhan, he accidentally entered this kind of slowing down situation twice, but it was far less obvious than this time, and everything around him seemed to have completely stopped, which made him successfully escape, and he missed Liu Xingbao even more in his heart.
His body had changed a lot lately, first in strength, then in food, and then in his mind he had analyzed all sorts of things more thoroughly, knowing that it must have something to do with the warm current coming from the seamless shirt.
Just after Shang Yu thought about it, everything around him began to return to normal, Ma Xiuying's coquettish voice, Shao Rong's roar entered his ears, and Shang Yu looked at Shao Rong's actions amusedly at this time.
Ma Xiuying had just finished saying that, but she saw that Shao Rong had an extra brocade quilt in his hand, but the ghost-headed knife in his hand disappeared, and he saw Shao Rongwei slam a brocade quilt onto the table on the other side.
Coincidentally, the brocade quilt was completely unfolded under his force, like a huge tablecloth spread on the sandalwood tabletop, covering it tightly.
And Shao Rongzheng turned his head and asked in a frightened voice, "Miss! Are you saying he's the heir to the Shang Alliance? Why didn't you say it earlier? This person can live under my knife" While speaking, he felt that the weight and feeling in his hand were a little wrong, and when he lowered his head, he saw that the ghost head knife in his hand was clearly a brocade quilt, and he was suddenly overwhelmed by this strange thing.
And Ma Xiuying also found that what Shao Rong was holding in was what she was holding, and the ghost head knife that should have been cut off on Shang Yu's head was falling not far from her feet, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
Shang Yu pretended to retreat in front of Ma Xiuying without knowing it, and he was really a little afraid in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that his body had changed at the critical moment, and everything around him had stopped for a short time, he must have been in two places at this time, turning into a dead corpse.
After hearing Ma Xiuying tell him the identity of the heir of the Shang Alliance, although he saw that Shao Rong's expression and tone had changed, he still didn't dare to be too relieved, with Shao Rong's ability, if he commanded his own soldiers to besiege together, then his life would not be guaranteed, he must have only been practicing martial arts for a short time, and he could not compare with those who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and it was normal to be a little timid.
Shi Cai used a dagger to coerce the marshal out of anger that Shang Yu was gone, and he was a little scared at this time.
"Brother Xiao Yu! Don't be afraid, I won't let anyone hurt you. For the current matter, Ma Xiuying also felt incredible, the brocade quilt was missing, but the ghost head knife in Shao Rong's hand was replaced, and he was also made to turn around, and the quilt was spread on the table, could it be that the ghost god was protecting Shang Yu?
"Miss! Am I getting into trouble with a ghost? Why didn't you and I move, and the knife in my hand was replaced by the brocade in your hand? Could it be that the eldest lady's martial arts have actually been practiced to such a level? Shao Rong turned around and asked in disbelief.
If Shang Yu is really the heir of the Shang League, then he must not be killed so easily, several percent of the salary of the righteous army comes from the mysterious Shang Alliance, and it is said that the late Marshal Guo was also a member of the Shang League, although the details are unknown, but he must not act so hastily, although he is a little reckless, but he is not a dull person, and the matter here can be thought out of the stakes.
But the fact that the weapon in front of him was changed was too shocking, and it was he who asked Ma Xiuying like this.
"Shao Rong! I don't know why I don't know why in this matter, if I have that kind of martial arts, then I can go straight to the capital alone and kill the Yuan court's civil and military generals! Maybe there are really ghosts and gods to protect the Shang Yu brothers. Ma Xiuying couldn't explain this, and Shang Yu seemed to have never moved in place, although he could block Shao Rong's blow with a "divine power", but Ma Xiuying didn't think that Shang Yu would have the ability to instantaneously move thousands of miles in ancient legends, and the legends had that ability to be immortals, she could only think that there were ghosts and gods protecting Shang Yu, the future descendant of the Shang Alliance.
Hearing Ma Xiuying say this, Shao Rong looked at Shang Yu again, and after looking at it a few times, he asked loudly: "The Shang Alliance has supported the rebel army for many years, why would he, as the heir of the Shang Alliance, use weapons to hold the marshal hostage, eldest miss!" I need a reasonable explanation. Despite this, Shao Rong refused to easily ignore the matter.
"General Shao! The army of the left deputy marshal is currently attacking Lai'an County, and the military rations in the front were already insufficient ten days ago, but the rear has not sent the grain and grass to the front line, and if the front-line soldiers have no food, they will collapse without a fight. ”
"And Shang Yu was ordered by the military advisor Li Shanchang to bring hundreds of soldiers back to urge food, I think the two marshals also want to not distribute the grain, I, Ma Xiuying, don't know why they want to act like this, but Brother Shang Yu is for the sake of all the righteous troops in Chuzhou, General Shao, do you know how important Lai'an County is to us?" Ma Xiuying briefly recounted the recent shortage of food and grass on the front line, and finally raised a question.
"Miss! The last general is dull, please make it clear directly to the eldest lady. Shao Rong heard the lack of food on the front line, his face changed a little, when the soldiers in front of him were fighting, the rear of Chuzhou was dragging his hind legs, let him Shao Rong no longer understand the strategy, but also understand that it must be because of the contradiction between the three marshals because of power, and there began to be some friction between each other, but it should not be paid according to the grain, which will chill the front soldiers and soldiers.
"If Lai'an County is in the hands of our army, the gate to Jiqingdi, the main city in the east, will be opened, and our army can attack and retreat! Since then, our army will really enter the era of a stable territory, surrounded by Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang, Liu Futong and other righteous armies to become a natural barrier between us and the Yuan army, our army and the main force of the Yuan army contact area is very small, if the future can win Jiqing, it is expected to hold most of the Jiangnan into the palm of the hand. ”
"If we can't take the county seat of Lai'an, if there is a Yuan army that will go south in the near future, if that Zhang Shicheng is defeated by the Yuan army, then we will have no danger to defend, and let it drive straight into my Chuzhou territory, then what the consequences are, you can think about it!" Ma Xiuying said slowly.
Shao Rong was recalled to Chuzhou by Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tian this time, saying that he wanted to discuss military affairs, but when he came back, he was shocked to hear that Guo Tianxu was being held hostage, but he did not expect that the person who held Guo Tianxu hostage was a young man, or the heir of the Shang League, and he was also a person who came back from the front to urge the transportation of grain and grass.
I thought in my heart: "It turns out that the marshal is because he wants to get rid of the left deputy marshal, so he will not be given food, and he must wait for the front army to be in turmoil, and then he will be dealt with on charge, but as the eldest lady said, if the front can be taken in Lai'an County, my Chuzhou righteous army can refuse to be moderate, and it will no longer be like the defeat of Haozhou back then, and there will be nowhere to live in it, let alone ask for the lives of the people of the world." ”
Thinking of this, he raised his head and said, "Miss! So that's the case, the military rations are not issued by the marshal and the deputy marshal, and I, Shao, should also agree to send it out, and the last general is willing to accompany the eldest lady to facilitate the grain transportation. ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then looked at Shang Yu for a few times before saying: "Food can be distributed, but even if this Shang Yu is a member of the Shang Alliance, he is unforgivable in holding the boss hostage as a hundred households!" Although he did it for the sake of the whole army, he also had a military law. The last general will immediately put him in prison for a few days, and when the left deputy marshal returns from the victory, he will then convene the generals in the army to announce how to deal with it! In this way, everyone in the army can be convinced, and I hope that the eldest lady will agree to this. ”
Ma Xiuying sighed after hearing this, and said with some concern: "The matter has come to this point, and there is no better way!" Xiao Yu, are you willing to go to jail? "Although Shang Yu has a thousand reasons, it is a big rebellion to coerce the boss, and it is reasonable to take Shang Yu into custody temporarily at this time.
After Shang Yu heard this, he saw that Shao Rong was not unreasonable, but he also agreed to give him food, and when he heard that he was going to be imprisoned, he immediately nodded and said: "Sister-in-law, Xiao Yu is willing to go to prison first to settle this matter, but I just hope that the soldiers in front will win a great victory, and I can drive the Yuan Court out of the Central Plains in the future, and it doesn't hurt that I, Shang Yu, will die immediately." As long as Zhu Yuanzhang returns from victory, he will try to get rid of the capital crime, and maybe replace Guo Tianxu.
It's just that Shang Yu never imagined that Zhu Yuanzhang would not pursue the matter to Guo Tianxu after returning to the city, but staged another good show.
