Chapter 177: The world depends on the One Day Master
Hundreds of torches illuminated the West Gate like day!
"Xu Langjun, I haven't seen you for many days, but are you okay?" Liu Yan was on the horse, with a smile on his face, and with a bit of ridicule in his words, he said, "Ouch, what's wrong?" So much blood on your body, injured? ”
Xu You wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "General Lao Liu is worried, I just encountered a thief to rob him, but now there is nothing to do, and he has been driven away." ”
"So that's the case, then Xu Langjun should be careful, let's ...... But they are all thieves who rob homes and houses! ”
As soon as Liu Yan said this, hundreds of thieves and soldiers laughed at the same time, and after they broke the city, they plundered the people's property, molested women, and killed people for fun.
Xu You's complexion did not change, and said: "General Liu's words are wrong! You are well-armed, strong and strong, attacking cities and conquering cities under the banner of the Heavenly Master's Dao, obviously you want to rebel, how can you say that you are those thieves who make small fights? ”
"Anti-thief, also a thief!" Liu Yan's eyes were full of the banter of the cat catching the mouse, but it seemed to be saying some truth, and said: "In the eyes of you gate lords, anyone who is not in the same way as you is a thief!" Isn't it? ”
"I'm now a Qi people, what kind of gate valve to talk about, and what kind of nobleman to talk about?" Xu You arched his hand and said: "General Liu, if you want to make great things, why bother to embarrass us little people?" Tens of thousands of people in Qiantang City, can they be killed? ”
Liu Yan leaned forward, looked at Xu You's handsome face, and said with interest: "Xu Langjun is begging me for mercy?" ”
"It's a plea! Although you and I are a little unpleasant, but we have been peers, as the saying goes, do not fight and do not know, acquaintance is fate, if you are willing to raise your noble hand, let us go west, you will be grateful in the future. ”
"Hahaha!"
Liu Yan smiled very happily, and the steel knife tapped Xu You's nose three times, and said: "I thought that Xu Langjun had the character of a literati and would rather die than bend his knees, so I would have an excuse to torture you." But I didn't expect you to be so sleek, and your cheek is comparable to those ranger scoundrels, which makes me a little embarrassed......"
Seeing Xu You being wantonly humiliated by Liu Yan, his eyes were red, and he said: "Lord Xun, what are you doing nonsense with him, it's a big deal, it's better to kill it, pull one back, pull two without loss!" ”
"Yes, it's a big deal!"
Everyone shouted in unison, facing the gray-robed man before, the feeling of powerlessness was more terrible than death itself, and now they are just facing ordinary thieves, maybe they are still dead, but at least they can fight with flesh and blood, so they are like a rainbow and are not afraid to fight.
Liu Yan's face turned gloomy, snorted coldly, and said, "Since you are in a hurry to die, I will fulfill you!" Come on, open the bow! ”
Suddenly a number of figures appeared on the walls of the west gate, roughly fifty, carrying quivers and longbows, and they were well-trained archers.
How hard is it to train an archer?
First of all, it is necessary to choose a strong arm pawn, and constantly pull the bow to exercise the strength of the upper arm, because many archers have different arm lengths; Secondly, to train the accuracy and range of scattering and projectile, which is simply not possible without one to two years of intense training.
For example, Xu You is familiar with the requirements of the Song Dynasty for qualified archers, sixty steps, a distance of nearly ninety meters, and one of three shots.
This is simply a hell-level requirement, so every archer is a valuable asset in the army, and Liu Yan took out fifty people at once in order to deal with Xu You.
This lineup, not to mention luxury, is simply a galactic fleet!
Xu You sighed slightly and said, "General Liu, you think too highly of me!" ”
Liu Yan smiled and said: "Lang Jun is too modest, I once underestimated you, and I suffered a big loss." Therefore, when the sacrificial wine only sent Lu Tai to Simon to intercept you, I knew that he was bound to be defeated. Sure enough, what about the little grandmaster, he still became a lost dog in the hands of Xu Langjun, and he got out of the way. If I hadn't taken care of me all the way and led people straight here, I'm afraid Xu Langjun would have disappeared gracefully. ”
Xu You's mind was spinning rapidly, but he couldn't find a way to break the game. The situation is stronger than people, although Zuo Yan did not say it explicitly, but Xu You has such eyesight, knowing that he was also injured a lot when he fought with Lu Tai, and in the face of Liu Yan's hundreds of thieves and fifty archers, there was no chance of winning at all.
"General Liu, do you have to kill me and then hurry?"
"Not necessarily!"
Liu Yan waved his hand, and the archers on the city wall put down their open bows again, and said, "I'm just wondering, Xu Langjun has made so much money from the gold workshop for more than a year, where has it gone?" I led someone to search Jingyuan, and only found a mere three million dollars, which is not enough for you to earn in ten days, what about the other money? If Xu Langjun is willing to hand it over, I may be able to go to the sacrificial wine and ask for my life and spare you and your subordinates! ”
"Heavenly Master Dao is really short of money! Since the beginning of the deer breast, he has been trying to make money. If you have a lot of money, don't you press your hands? ”
Xu You seemed to be sarcastic, but Liu Yan didn't care, and said, "Who would be afraid of having a lot of money?" Besides, we raise and train our troops with money, so tonight even a big city like Qiantang can be conquered, and there is no money, how can we do it? ”
The two armies faced each other, and the swords were tense, but the two seemed to be gossiping. Liu Yan was holding the victory, and he was happy to see Xu You's groveling appearance, but Xu You deliberately delayed time, so that Zuo Yan and them could recover as soon as possible to deal with the next fierce battle.
"It's the same, money is not everything, but no money can't!"
Xu You casually said a famous aphorism from later generations, and Liu Yan, who listened to it, stroked his palms and laughed, and said: "Xu Lang is kind and funny, it really makes people laugh!" ”
"I want to live, the general wants money, and everyone takes what they need. Why don't you and me do a business, I will tell you where the money is hidden, and you will let me go, how about it? ”
Liu Yan squinted his eyes and said, "Can you trust me?" ”
"To be honest, I can't trust you! Therefore, I have to let the priest come and make a poisonous oath, so that I can give up my family fortune of 70 million yuan! ”
"Seventy million?"
Liu Yan's eyes widened violently, and he said, "You have so much money?" ”
"Brought from home, gifted by the Yuan family of Jinling, helped by Gu Yun after Qiantang settled down, and sprinkled gold fang...... You also know that the sprinkled gold workshop can be said to be making money every day, especially since I have just developed Yuan Bai Paper, which is better than Yuhe Paper, and has secretly received orders of nearly 30 million yuan from 17 wang families...... This is a big deal, and in view of the previous feud between you and me, I have ordered this matter to be kept strictly secret, so you don't know about it......"
Seventy million dollars!
Liu Yan's heart beat violently, they tried their best and were willing to take great risks, only to transport out tens of millions of money from the silver treasury of Linwushan, but it was enough to support the war against Qiantang, if there were these 70 million money for military expenses, the certainty of sticking to Qiantang would be a little more.
"Okay, I've made the deal! But you will follow me into the city, and when you have seen the sacrificial wine, you will discuss the details. ”
"Do I look so deceitful?" Xu You said indifferently: "General Liu, if you enter the city, the life and death of so many people are all in your hands, where will I still have the qualifications to do business with you?" ”
Liu Yan smiled and said, "You think clearly, but why don't you want to think about it, at this time, how many important things have to be dealt with, how can he have the time and energy to take care of you?" ”
Xu You also smiled and said: "It seems that we are in a stalemate, it is better to take a step back, let General Liu as a guarantee, let these subordinates of mine leave, and I will stay as a hostage until the general finds the 70 million money." ”
The condition just now was that Du Mingyu personally agreed, and then let Xu You and the others leave, and Xu You expected that Liu Yan would not agree, because Du Mingyu was probably not in Qiantang at all. Therefore, his purpose is to take a step back for each of them, take himself hostage, and save the lives of the others in Jingyuan.
This is not the great spirit of sacrificing oneself to save others, but the optimal choice that can be made in combination with the pros and cons. Either everyone dies here together, or the others leave alive, Xu You stays and talks with Liu Yan, and then comes to the rescue after Zuo Yan and them get out.
Xu You was known as the fox handsome in his previous life, both the fox's treachery and cunning, and the handsome's decisiveness. Everyone has their own value and bargaining chips, which can be weighed and bought and sold on the balance of interests, including, himself!
Therefore, between life and death, Xu You chooses to maximize his benefits.
"Oh?"
Xu You's proposal obviously exceeded Liu Yan's expectations, he never thought that Xu You, such a difficult and powerful character, would rather fall into a desperate situation for the sake of these lowly servants and subordinates.
Love people for benevolence, not afraid of bravery, Xu You's move, benevolence, but also courage, people are eye-catching.
Liu Yan sat up straight, his eyes were full of admiration, and after a while, he said, "Okay, I agreed!" Get out of the way to the west and let them go! ”
Liu Yan's purpose is only Xu You, but he is a little afraid of Zuo Yan's little grandmaster's might, if it is a vicious battle, even if he kills them, I am afraid that he will suffer heavy losses, which is very unfavorable to the next move.
Now that Xu You has voluntarily surrendered, that's really good!
"Lord Hao, I'm not leaving!"
Cang Zhi inserted the cooked copper rod into the soil, biting his lip and refusing to leave. Xu You turned around, slapped him in the face heavily, and said coldly: "Disobey my order, from tonight, I will expel you from the mansion!" Get lost! ”
Five purple-red finger marks instantly protruded on Cang's face, he looked rude, but he was actually extremely smart, who didn't know that Xu You was deliberately trying to protect himself and provoke him to flee for his life. The tiger's eyes were filled with tears, blood shot out between his lips and teeth, and he was about to speak, but was pulled aside by Li Mu.
Wu Shan walked in front of Xu You, pointed at the ground with a long knife, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and said word by word: "Lord Xun, as a member of Jingyuan, you must not leave Lord Xun to escape alone." If we will die tonight, please let us die first!! ”
"Let us die first!"
Li Mu and Yan Yang knelt down at the same time, and there were dozens of other tribals, and the desolate and tragic sound of dying rushed straight to thousands of miles, as if an eternal ballad was sung from heaven to the world.
Let us die first!
Cang only felt that a fire in his chest was about to explode, and he tore through his uniform with one hand, revealing his chest covered with black hair, and roared: "If you want to die, follow me!" ”
As he spoke, he was about to rush towards Liu Yan, when the squeak of the bow sounded on the city wall, and Xu You snatched Wu Shan's long knife, the blade turned inward, and it was horizontal on his neck, and said: "If anyone disobeys the order, I will die here immediately." ”
"Lord Hao, no!" Zuo Yan took a step forward, ready to strike at any moment.
"Shichiro, be careful!" He Wei looked startled, and looked at the blade that cut Xu You's neck, but he didn't know what to say. He knew in his heart that Xu You's decision was the best choice at the moment, but if these people followed Xu You, how could they leave Lord Xun and run away without authorization?
"His wings, Fenghu, immediately take the people, leave Qiantang, don't stop along the way, and go straight to Wu County to seek refuge with Gu Yun. Autumn equinox, don't cry, you've grown up, take care of the ugly slave and don't allow others to bully her. Surprised, Ah Wu, when you arrive in Wu County, our agreement will be invalidated, each of us will cherish it, and we will see you again! ”
"Xiaolang, you, you ......"
Qiu Equinox covered her mouth tightly, grabbed the ugly slave who was crying and wanted to pounce on Xu You, she would never disobey Xu You's orders, but her bright eyes were full of red bloodshots, almost tearful, and she couldn't help herself.
"Let's go!"
Xu You shouted in a low and angry voice, the blade entered the flesh again, He Wei resolutely turned around, took the hand of the autumn equinox, and said, "Everyone, go!" ”
Walking on the frost winter solstice, tears fell in his eyes, and even Yu Su, who had always been a cold-eyed bystander, was moved by Xu You's eyes were red, Wu Shan led people to change formations, made an inverted goose-shaped formation, protected the rear and two wings, and quickly left the encirclement of Liu Yan's army. Zuo Yan walked at the end, suddenly turned around, and the Sun Yan Sword flew out, Liu Yan was startled, but he couldn't dodge, and watched the long sword sweep over his head and insert it into the stone of the city gate, trembling and hissing.
Bang dang!
The majestic helmet split in half and fell to the ground.
"General Liu, if my family is safe, this sword will be given to you as a thank you gift. If Lang Jun loses a hair, I swear here, even if Sun Guan comes in person, I will do whatever it takes to cut off your head with my own hands! ”
"If you violate this oath, the heavens will hate it, and the earth will hate it!"
Sun Guan would not deign to shelter a mere Liu Yan, and it was impossible for Liu Yan to be guarded day and night with five hundred soldiers and so many archers, and the oath of a small grandmaster was even more deterrent than the Holy Decree.
Liu Yan's smile froze on his face, looking at Xu You, from a shining treasure to a hot potato. However, fortunately, with great effort, I finally completed the task assigned by Du Mingyu.
"Capture Qiantang and capture Xu You. Otherwise, you won't come to see me! ”
Liu Yan turned over and dismounted, walked to Xu You, hugged his neck with a smile, as if a friend who hadn't seen him for a long time greeted him affectionately, and the handle of the knife slammed into Xu You's lower abdomen.
Xu You snorted, if it weren't for Liu Yan hugging him, he would probably have to kneel on the ground. There was still a smile in his eyes, and he forcibly endured the smell of blood surging in his mouth, and said, "Ahem...... General Liu, have you ever thought that although you occupy Qiantang, the Fuzhou soldiers entrenched in Wu County will soon come over, and when the time comes, how should you defend it? Can it be kept? ”
"Don't bother!"
Liu Yan beckoned, and immediately came up and tied Xu You with five flowers, he took off and rode on horseback, grabbed the reins and walked back a few steps, then turned around and said: "Xu You, wait and see, it won't be long before the whole world is our Heavenly Master!" ”
There are still five buckets of rice in the world, and the world depends on a teacher!
Volume 3, "Heavenly Master World", end!
