Chapter Seventy-Five: Ice Phoenix Tribulation (Confrontation)

In the field farmhouse, under Chu Birou's careful conditioning for more than ten days, Chen Fangning was able to get out of bed and walk around. And for Chu Birou's care over the past few days, she also seemed very grateful.

On this day, when they were about to discuss what to do next after eating, the sound of cluttered footsteps outside the door that gradually became apparent caught their attention. Chu Birou looked out through the window and found that it was a team of people with spears in their hands and officers and soldiers walking towards this small farm courtyard. However, looking at the clothes, the pair of officers and soldiers were obviously more sloppy than the ordinary officers and soldiers in Tanzhou City, and they seemed to be just scattered warriors who maintained law and order in villages and towns.

I saw that the person who took the lead vigorously pushed open the courtyard door of the small courtyard and ordered his subordinates to catch the old man who was picking vegetables in the courtyard in front of him. He then asked his men to bring out two portraits and ask the old man if he had seen them. Chu Birou fixed her eyes and saw that the people on the portrait were clearly her and Chen Fangning.

"Miss Chu, who are the people outside?" Chen Fangning slowly walked to Chu Birou's side and asked.

"Friend or foe, it looks like we're going to face another breakout." Chu Birou knew that if she wanted to leave here, she would inevitably bump into the officers and soldiers who were patrolling the courtyard.

"Don't make a noise, we'll find a way to deal with them!" The old woman went into the house and gave a warning to the two of them, and then entered the courtyard as well, and helped the old man to deny that they had ever seen the two in the portrait.

However, after the officers and soldiers led by him sneered and waved their big hands, the two officers and soldiers beside him suddenly set fire to the house in the courtyard, and the rapidly rising flames surrounded Chu Birou and Chen Fangning in the house.

The two old men were frightened by the tactics of the officers and soldiers, and one of them, the old woman, involuntarily called out the names of the two people in the house and urged them to come out quickly. At this time, the officers and soldiers led by him suddenly drew their knives and stabbed the old man's body, and the old man immediately fell to the ground and died. Immediately after, after the old woman screamed and threw herself on the old man and cried bitterly, one of his men killed the old woman with a knife.

"Hmph, damn two old things, you brothers are so hard, you guys, throw them into the fire for me!" With the order of the leader, several officers and soldiers prepared to throw the remains of the old couple into the fire.

At this moment, the inner room that was burning with a raging fire suddenly exploded under a wave of air, and the flying sparks forced the officers and soldiers to push back one after another. Immediately afterwards, the burning wood condensed the anger of the people in the house like a raging fire shot out of the house, and several officers and soldiers standing in the front row were hit by the wood and then vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Chu Birou and Chen Fangning flew out of the smoke and landed in front of the officer and soldier leader with an indignant expression, and the officer and soldier leader and his subordinates behind him were shocked by the momentum of the two and took a few steps back.

"Why...... Want to kill them? A bunch of bastards! Chu Birou's eyes were red and moist as she stared at the old couple's body, and her right hand tightly grasped the saber in her hand.

Then the two sides unexpectedly started a fierce battle, this group of officers and soldiers was not the opponent of Chu Birou and Chen Fangning, and they died in less than half a cup of tea, especially the leading officers and soldiers, who were beaten by the angry Chu Birou and lay on the ground with injuries.

"Hmph, don't be complacent, the beggar army brothers led by Master Cheng will be here soon. When the time comes, the entire Ice Phoenix Valley will be buried with you, hahaha! The leader of the officers and soldiers screamed in a pool of blood, but it was not long before he died of blood loss.

"Beggars?" Chu Birou didn't understand where the group of people in this person's mouth came from, but Chen Fangning heard a little. She told Chu Birou that it was a semi-military organization composed mainly of poor people such as beggars, and that they were rumored to have been professionally and brutally trained, and were hired to perform special tasks that were inconvenient for all kinds of government officers and soldiers. Chen Fangning then emphasized to Chu Birou that this group of outlaws is not restricted by any laws and regulations of any country, and often runs rampant in the countryside, killing people without blinking, and unscrupulous means to achieve their goals, and the people in the rivers and lakes have long been very jealous of them.

"This group of people is no different from those bandits and bullies who burn, kill and loot, Cheng Zhang actually used them, it seems that he is bent on putting Binghuang Valley to death!" Seeing that the current situation was developing in a worse direction, Chen Fangning made up her mind to break into the Ice Phoenix Valley and take Chen Yuxia away, no matter how much Chu Birou persuaded her, she couldn't persuade her. So, seeing that Chen Fangning had made up her mind, Chu Birou didn't stop it anymore, but decided to accompany her to the Ice Phoenix Valley again.

When they came to the door, the two of them were unexpectedly stopped by the guards of the Ice Phoenix Valley again, but this time because Chen Fangning also appeared, the guard disciples did not dare to act rashly, so they hurriedly sent someone into the valley to inform Yu Zhongrui of the matter.

Soon after, everyone who got the news came to the gate of the valley, and the Chen sisters also saw each other again with complicated eyes.

"Xia'er, come with me, it's not safe here!" Chen Fangning anxiously called out to Chen Yuxia, who was expressionless beside Yu Zhongrui.

However, Chen Yuxia did not have any response, but Yu Zhongrui suddenly ordered: "Everyone in Binghuang Valley listens to the order and takes down this ancestor who deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors!" ”

After the disciples of Ice Phoenix Valley received the order, they quickly surrounded Chen Fangning and Chu Birou, and the scene suddenly became tense.

Seeing this, Gao Che, Tong Kun, and Liu Yangyang also jumped into the encirclement of the disciples of the Ice Phoenix Valley one after another.

"Why do you have to do that? The slave family is just a person who has already fallen into hell, how can He De let you risk it for me? Chen Fangning's eyes were filled with tears.

"Miss Chen, although I don't know what you have to do with Binghuang Valley, they are bullying more and bullying the weak at the moment, and I just can't get used to it! If you are willing to trust us, I will do everything I can to help you share your problems when you are safe! Goucher said in a firm tone.

(Chen) "Gao Gongzi, thank you!" ”

(Tong) "Brother Gao, did you write the manuscript in advance, or did you purely play on the spot?" ”

(Liu) "What?" What else do you want to learn from other women? ”

(Chu) "......"

Even in the midst of the gags of a few people, the disciples of the Ice Phoenix Valley who surrounded them also looked a little at a loss, because behind them, Yu Zhongrui slowly turned his back and did not have instructions for the next step.

Just as Yu Zhongrui hesitated, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves gradually came from in the distance, and the sound was becoming more and more obvious. Everyone present soon realized that Cheng Zhang's men were about to arrive here.

"Chen Fangning, you hurry up, Binghuang Valley is my home, I will not leave Master and leave with you." Chen Yuxia said loudly to Chen Fangning.

"That's it, you think everyone is like you, and you actually left Uncle Liu during the cult rebellion, which hurt ......Uncle Liu" Another disciple also suddenly shouted at Chen Fangning.

"Shut up!" Yu Zhongrui suddenly stopped the disciple from continuing, and at the same time, she was a little helpless to let the disciples who surrounded everyone withdraw from the siege.

"Let's go, now that the great enemy of Ice Phoenix Valley is coming, I don't have the energy to continue to pursue your crimes." Yu Zhongrui looked up to the sky and sighed and said to Chen Fangning, and then she praised the courage of Gao Che and the others who protected Chen Fangning, and hoped that they could help everyone in the Ice Phoenix Valley survive this catastrophe.

"The disciples of the Ice Phoenix Valley listen to the order! Activate the Crossbow Bolt Trap! Array! Get ready to meet the enemy! With Yu Zhongrui's shout, everyone in Ice Phoenix Valley immediately began to prepare for the battle. Afterwards, Yu Zhongrui walked quickly to Liu Yangyang's side and expressed the idea of wanting to talk to her alone.

"I didn't expect you to stay and fight alongside us, so please do it!" Chen Yuxia unceremoniously threw this sentence at Chen Fangning and was about to turn around and leave, but Chen Fangning quickly stopped her: "Where is Master?" I...... Wanted to see her. ”

Hearing Chen Fangning's request, which surprised her a little, Chen Yuxia was stunned for a moment, and then she slowly turned her face sideways and said with a solemn expression: "Come with me, this is the last thing I am willing to do for you." ”

"Master, she...... Right here? Chen Fangning was also a little surprised by Chen Yuxia's answer.

In the blink of an eye, half a pillar of incense passed, and the bow and crossbow array at the mouth of the valley could not stop Cheng Zhang and the beggar army led by him for a long time, and dozens of disciples of the Ice Phoenix Valley guarding the first layer of defense were all killed by the ruthless beggar army troops.

"Tell me where is Xi Yuanzhu? I might be able to spare your life. Cheng Zhang leaned down and asked with a sneering smile to a seriously injured disciple of Ice Phoenix Valley.

"Hmph, that's what you're for! Let me tell you, without Uncle Liu's Yin True Qi activating it, even if you get the Washing Yuan Bead, it will be useless! The disciple said to Cheng Zhang intermittently.

"Hehe, Uncle Liu, is that the legendary Hanfeng Sword Lady? Don't worry, I'll make her listen to me! ”

Soon, Cheng Zhang and his beggar army troops broke through to the gate of Ice Phoenix Valley. Gao Che held a spear, Chu Birou held a double sword, and the two of them fought together with the disciples of Ice Phoenix Valley.

"Don't retreat, set fire to me, I'm going to set the Ice Phoenix Valley today!" After Cheng Zhang's order, some of the soldiers of the beggar army set fire to the surrounding grass and jungle one after another, and the fire in front of the gate of Ice Phoenix Valley suddenly burst into flames.

"Hey, Chu Xiaorou, it's not a way to go on like this, there are so many of them, we can't last long with our little people!" Gao Che said loudly to Chu Birou beside him while fighting.

"Capture the thief and capture the king first, you cover me!" Chu Birou jumped high and stepped on the soldier's head as a support to perform light skills, while Gao Che waved his gun to cover with understanding, and the two quickly approached Cheng Zhang's location.

Chu Birou rode on her horse after killing an officer on a horse, and then she killed several officers along the way who wanted to protect Cheng Zhang.

"It's you again!" Cheng Zhang saw that Chu Birou had killed in front of him, and he immediately jumped up from his horse and drew his knife to fight back.

Not long after the two fought, a sharp hidden weapon suddenly shot out from the side and attacked Chu Birou, but fortunately, Chu Birou found it in time and quickly dodged. However, this kind of hidden weapon then continued to shoot towards Chu Birou, and with Cheng Zhang's offensive, Chu Birou felt a little overwhelmed. After dodging several sneak attacks in succession, a hidden weapon finally hit Chu Birou's right arm, and Chu Birou suddenly felt that the strength of her right arm was lost, and even the sword was difficult to hold in her hand.

Seeing that Chu Birou's center of gravity was not stable, Cheng Zhang took the opportunity to gain the upper hand in the hand. The twin swords in Chu Birou's hands were shot down by Cheng Zhang one after another, and just when he had to dodge in a hurry, fortunately Gao Che came to the rescue in time, and the two then retreated with the remaining disciples of Ice Phoenix Valley while fighting.

"It's the dragon slaying dart, and there are people from the Wind and Thunder Hall around Cheng Zhang." Chu Birou covered her wounds and said intermittently to Gao Che.

"Let's not talk about it yet, let's get out of here first." Gao Che helped Chu Birou to retreat into the gate of Ice Phoenix Valley, and Chen Yuxia also appeared in front of the gate at this moment, and she commanded all the disciples to immediately evacuate the mountain gate of Ice Phoenix Valley.

When the last disciple of Ice Phoenix Valley evacuated, with a few loud "boom" sounds, the mountains on both sides of the gate were destroyed by gunpowder, countless huge rocks rolled down from the mountain, and the beggar soldiers and horses who couldn't avoid the gate suffered heavy losses for a while.

The falling rocks completely smashed the mountain gate of Ice Phoenix Valley, and also completely blocked the road leading to the interior of Ice Phoenix Valley.

"Looks like you're in some trouble here, and I'm afraid you'll need a mountain opener to help."

"Hmph, Zhou Xuan, you are so idle, I didn't know that Yuzhou was a place that could make you so relieved."

Zhou Xuanshan was late, and her ridicule of Cheng Zhang seemed to make Cheng Zhang's face unpleasant.

"Haha, the Ice Phoenix Valley is so tricky, in fact, it was already expected by the old man. General Cheng wait patiently, our help should be there soon. ”

"Help? All right! Cheng Zhang reluctantly announced that he would camp on the spot, and the blockage of the rocks gave the Ice Phoenix Valley, which had suffered a lot of losses in this battle, a little respite.
