Lu Shinang and Jiangnan Jiushen, who were sitting in the shade of the trees to discuss things, never expected that they could also encounter an ambush in this remote and safe valley, and saw their subordinates fleeing for their lives in a hurry in the chaos of arrows, but there was not one in ten who could escape the rain of arrows, and they couldn't help but feel cold and frightened.

In the blink of an eye, many fierce men rushed out of the grass in the ravine on the opposite side of the stream, and there were thousands of people, one by one, roaring with horizontal knives and spears, and stepped across the creek in a few breaths, killing the other bank.

Led by the leader, a bearded tower man with a big knife in his hand, rushed to Lu Shinang's side first.

Seven or eight of Lu Shinang's personal guards hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

But when the first one was split into two companions by a big man with a knife. The other was cut in two. The remaining few weapons broke and slashed under the sword of the big man, and the people who besieged it were killed in a few blink of an eye.

A sword that sharpens iron like clay?

This person should be the Erlongshan Chaogai, who is known as the power of the tower.

Lu Shisang and the nine gods of Jiangnan were frightened and resentful, and originally wanted to take revenge, but they were shocked by Chao Gai's terrible, and in a blink of an eye, they saw two ugly ghosts, one made a huge double axe, and the other made a heavy five-strand support heavenly fork, and followed Chao Gai left and right to rush to kill, as terrifying as a fierce god.

A little farther away, the one who made the serrated broadsword, the one who made the iron spear...... looked more elegant, but after all of them bravely refused to be reluctant, they led the troops to charge, frantically grabbed the horses, and killed people without blinking.

The hearts of the remnants of the Mojiao people instantly sank to the bottom.

Not to mention the fact that the other party is overwhelmed, the leaders are all good.

When encountering such an opponent, let alone counterattacking and retaliating, it is good that you can save your life.

Instead, they were in the upper reaches of the creek. But the horses drank water in the lower reaches of the stream. At this juncture, it is impossible to kill the past and ride a horse. Even if you can rush through, you can't rush out of this mountainous terrain where it is inconvenient to let the horses run wildly.

Seeing that the enemy who didn't grab the horse was frantically surging with Chao Gai, Lu Shisang didn't dare to delay any longer, and almost instinctively immediately rushed into the mountains and forests with the nine gods.

Ran up the mountain in one go, and desperately drilled the mountain, relying on his good ability to climb over the mountains and mountains, just like in Hengshan that time he got rid of the pursuit of the Khitan army that robbed them, and once again luckily escaped from the pursuit, and when he stopped to catch his breath, Lu Shinang, who was a hero with both civil and military affairs, couldn't help but cry.

In addition to the embarrassed Jiangnan Nine Gods, the people around him only have three or five personal guards.

The rest of the congregation don't have to think about it.

Originally, most of the dead and wounded were under the arrows, and the remaining few people were enough to be surrounded and killed by thousands of thieves.

At the beginning, he took the elite of the Holy Sect Master, and the hundreds of elite personnel who were screened and tempered step by step with blood and life tests in the process of horse trafficking, and there were nearly 6,000 people in total, all of whom were the backbone of the middle and grassroots level that the Holy Sect had cultivated for several years, not to mention the absolute loyalty to the sect leader and the great cause, and they were all good at armed forces, shrewd and capable of conquest, and many of them were also literate and hyphenated, and even knew a little bit of the art of war. It is completely easy to bring out hundreds of thousands of troops to defeat the rotten army of the Great Song Dynasty in Jiangnan, overthrow the rule of Jiangnan in the Great Song Dynasty, and eradicate the foolish and loyal scholars and the landlords who ride on the heads of the people to make a fortune.

But now, except for the 2,000 people who returned to deliver the horses and belongings in advance, the remaining nearly 4,000 elites were almost lost.

How to explain to the Holy Sect Master when you go back is a big headache.

The most heart-wrenching thing for Lu Shisang was the loss of elite instructors.

This is a tragic situation that greatly hurts the vitality of the Holy Sect, and it is really not conducive to the great cause of the Holy Sect!

It took several years of hard work to gather such a loyal and brave team, which undoubtedly greatly delayed the time of the uprising, delayed the establishment of the Holy Sect Dynasty, and delayed the wealth and glory of the core backbone of the Sect.

"Lu has lived up to the sect leader's ardent expectations, he is a sinner of the Holy Sect, what face does he have to live in the world?"

Lu Shisang stood on the beautiful mountain ridge and shouted in a sad voice, facing the direction of Jiangnan, as soon as he snatched the knife from the leader of the Peach Blossom Mountain bandits, he wanted to apologize for his crimes, and the nine gods of Jiangnan, who were also depressed around him, stepped forward to hold their arms and waists to dissuade them.

"Lu Gong, don't do this."

What's the matter?

It was not easy to escape from the encirclement and pursuit of the Erlong Mountain bandits, and you want to commit suicide again?

You are the leader of this trip, the de facto master of our Jiangnan Twelve Gods, and the foundation of the Holy Religion.

If you die, we will lose the support of the sect, and we will not be able to maintain our position in the holy sect, and the results of this trip to the north in exchange for our lives are not a success, and we will be deliberately squeezed and suppressed by other gangs in the sect, the sect leader Shengming, even if we are not dead in the crime and have not been stripped of our skin, we will soon be silently reduced to insignificant marginal figures in the sect, despised and ridiculed by the majority of the sect, and it is a person who can run up and step on us a few feet, what wonderful future is there?

Some people even think like this: You must not be in a hurry to die first. If you want to die, you will take the blame for the crime when you go back, and vent the anger of the sect leader. When we are safe and sound, and we find the core backbone of the church that we can rely on and recognize the new master, you can die casually.

"Duke Lü, why are you willing to leave behind your brothers who faithfully follow you to die?"

"Yes, Gong Lu, even if you don't remember the love of life and death among the brothers, you must not abandon the great cause of the Holy Sect."

"The great cause is difficult, but it is inseparable from the strong support of core forces like you."

Everyone begged and persuaded them, and Lu Shisang passed the impulse to commit suicide, and his heart slowly calmed down.

Oh, yes. I also kept 2,000 elites for the sect leader, and got back tens of thousands of good horses and a lot of fine weapons, I have worked so hard for the Holy Sect, how can I say that I have made great contributions, how can I die lightly when the great cause is not accomplished, and I am most needed?

If you don't want to die, the more you want to live, the more you will make excuses for failure, and it is also a reason to shirk responsibility when you go back to face Fang La.

Lu Shisang couldn't help but think of Chao Gai's roar he heard when he fled: "What kind of bullshit Holy Sect horse traffickers you are honestly passing through Qingzhou, I Chao Gai's training troops happened to rest here for a short time, and I happened to meet you, this Jianghu morality will not rob you, let alone get acquainted with the heroes of Jiangnan, everyone in the south and north work together to overthrow the tyranny." But you birdmen just want to kill all the people of Qingzhou indiscriminately because of a loss, what did the people of Qingzhou do to you? Shameless and arrogant evil villain, dare to underestimate my hero of Erlongshan? ”

Thinking back on these, Lu Shisang understood where his mistake was.

If he hadn't wanted to slaughter and loot Hua Rong's department at the beginning, and had been going south without delaying time, it was very likely that he would have entered this mountainous area before the people of Erlong Mountain and become the party that took the initiative, at least he would not have been ambushed by Erlong Mountain so badly;

In Hua Rong's suffocation, feeling that Qingzhou is in danger, everyone is still conceited and arrogant on the surface, and the heart is actually becoming more and more bottomless, and they are already timid, if it is not for the urgency to hurry up to the south, then when they slowly reach this mountainous area, Chao Gai and his gang are likely to have rested enough and left, and the two sides will not encounter here.

It doesn't matter if you are timid on a territory that does not belong to you, if you leave Qingzhou in one go, you will not meet Chao Gai and his gang.

But based on old experience, I want to rest and spend the night safely in this familiar nameless mountain......

Alas!

Lu Shisang figured it out. Jiangnan Jiushen is not stupid.

It's just that they naturally don't condemn themselves and are arrogant, and they don't admit that they made mistakes in decision-making, so they can only sigh deeply.

If you want to complain, it's too much to complain. Bad luck!

Hengshan unexpectedly encountered the Liao army once.

Jin Suoguan saw that he had returned to the safe Song realm, but he encountered the Liao army again, and another accident.

...... in Qingzhou

Damn, this is the first time this has been unexpectedly hit?

Can luck be carried a little more?

Lu Shisang comforted and concluded: "At this point, it is not a crime of war. ”

This was immediately echoed by all who were alive in front of him.

Lu Gong said it too well. Bad luck, failure is indeed not to blame buddy for not being able to work hard.

Fortunately, in the early stage, two thousand elites have returned to Jiangnan, and they have made great achievements, and they have an explanation for the sect leader and the sect members.

They are brainwashed cult members in the end, and the spiritual victory method is extremely powerful, and as long as they can live more than they can live and jump around, they can easily regain their confidence and fighting spirit, and once again regain their arrogance and ferocity.

"When the great cause of the Holy Sect is successful, we will wash the blood of Qingzhou with our own hands, trample the thieves of Erlong Mountain under their feet, kowtow like dogs, and confess their sins and beg for mercy."

"Yes, let the ignorant Erlong Mountain Caokou be free for a while."

"The grass thief still wants to cooperate with our Jiangnan heroes? Bah! Our holy religion wants to unify the country and pacify the world. ”

"Chao Gai, why the hell are you waiting for Lao Tzu first."

After restoring his morale and confidence, Lu Shisang led the team out of the mountainous area, and this time left Qingzhou directly.

Without the horses and many subordinates, there were only a dozen of them, each of whom carried silver, and it was convenient to travel, food and lodging.

Their insults and vicious curses are inaudible to Chaogai. Erlongshan people were only excited at this time.

I temporarily decided to train for a long time, and temporarily intended to rest in this mountainous area, but I didn't want to pick up thousands of war horses and a total of more than 30,000 yuan of money found from a corpse and horse bag. As for those weapons and other loot, they are nothing.

After returning to the mountain, the cottage celebrated.

People all over the mountain say: The lord of the Tianwang village is wise, and there are gods to help, it is really a heroic master.

This windfall greatly compensated for the prestige of the decision-making level of the village owner who had been reduced by the loss of too many elite manpower some time ago, and greatly consolidated Chao Gai's authority.

After Lu Shisang and others returned to Jiangnan, the relaxed, joyful and a little nervous heart of going home ushered in another blow.

The three gods and the two thousand soldiers who sent the horses and goods in the early stage have not returned to the horses, and the property is nowhere to be seen, and the people have not even seen a single hair.

The three gods of Jiangnan and the 2,000 soldiers of the Sect were motivated to get rich, and they ran away with their horses and belongings, but on the way home, they were intercepted, looted and killed by robbers, thieves, and black shops along the long road from the government or the Qingzhou area. Fang La didn't know that someone would come back first.

The three gods of Jiangnan and the two thousand soldiers were suspected, and they were really wronged.

At this time, they were fighting bloodily in the completely unfamiliar Wa country, and they had to work hard to survive.

When they first arrived in Wadao, they listened to the Japanese language they didn't understand, panicked, and the brainwashed spirit could not support their courage, and they didn't deal with the fierce heroes like the Han people here, but they soon felt that the people here were full of deep envy and awe for the rich and powerful Great Song Dynasty, and originally wanted to use this advantage to skillfully brainwash the identity of the ignorant dwarf file and above, so that the teachings of Manichaeism could spread to this overseas island country, so that the divine glory of the religion would also shine here, and open up an overseas foundation for the Holy Religion and a retreat in case of failure.

It is a pity that the language is not compatible, and with the help of a few local translators whose Chinese proficiency is too low, the missionary effect is too weak and slow.

They didn't even expect that these dwarf files were the most typical natural pirates who would humbly bow to you while drawing a knife to kill you

The only result that can be explained does not exist, and is missing?

The nine gods of Jiangnan changed color in shock, their faces were as white as paper, and they almost sat on the ground with their butts.

Lu Shisang spurted out a mouthful of old blood on the spot, and fainted directly to the ground, without knowing what to do.

Fang La was furious, and forcibly asked about the whole process of the Jiangnan Nine Gods going north, and learned that the elites of the sect sent were all destroyed, and in anger, he ordered the Jiangnan Nine Gods to be pushed out and cut down by the public. Lu Shinang, who pretended to be dead, was also tied up and killed.

His uncle, Fang Fei, the founder of the Mo Sect, hurriedly persuaded him to stop him.

After losing so many of the cornerstone disciples in the sect, Lu Shinang deserves to die, but in the end, it is the person who went north and fought hard for the Holy Sect with his life, and he has no merit and hard work, so he can't just kill it, otherwise if it spreads, who will have the courage and courage to risk taking risks for the benefit of the Holy Sect in the future?

Moreover, Lu Shisang is the core figure in the religion, is one of the few people in the religion who have both knowledge of the civil and military forces, his family is a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, when he broke the family to teach, to help the Mo religion to take root in the south of the Yangtze River faster, these years to the development of the Mo religion has not been small, the power and influence in the religion is not small, including the north horse trade and other things have been tireless work and danger, the Manchu religion knows that its loyalty can be learned, how can it be said that it can be killed?

The surviving Jiangnan Nine Gods are also talents that need to be used, so it's a pity to cut them so casually. The people in the church are afraid and unconvinced.

Fang La is a real hero, conceited, and very assertive, but this uncle's words can still be listened to.

He felt that he really hadn't figured out the matter yet, and he couldn't kill his own people in a hurry, so he let go of the nine gods and personally went to visit and comfort Lu Shinang.

After receiving the treasure gift specially left by Lu Shinang, seeing his loyalty and intentions, he regained his senses, and looked back at the whole thing, Fang La and other core figures of the Mojiao also felt that they really couldn't blame Lu Shinang, and the luck of going north this time was indeed too bad.

Baoguang Rulai Deng Yuanjue said fairly.

"The mission to the north is really risky and too difficult. The Liao State is strong, and the Khitan army is difficult to deal with, so there is no need to say more. Lu Gong was still able to grab a large number of horses and property in such a powerful opponent, which is enough to show his ability, and it also proves that the loyalty and courage of my elite are powerful.

As for the gains and losses, this is not too surprising.

After all, the north is not the territory of our Manichaeism, and whoever leads the team is like a tiger in a cage, and no matter how capable he is, he is not sure to make a big deal in the north without a foundation. At least I, Deng Yuanjue, don't have this ability. According to the little monk, Lu Gong's loyal and courageous character alone is worthy of the little monk's admiration. ”
