Volume 2 The Family Chapter 62 A Late Showdown
At this time, Zhang Ying, who was standing on the side, suddenly interjected: "What are you afraid of?" There are only 300,000 people, and the eighth brother is brave... Well, coupled with my brother's heroic appearance, I will definitely be able to beat them up. ”
Zhang Shicheng glanced at Zhang Ying with deep meaning, and saw that Zhang Ying's face was flushed. After hearing this, Zhu Chuba laughed and said: "Sister Ying'er is right, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, with the combined strength of your and my two armies, I still don't believe that Badulu can make a difference in Jiangbei." ”
Zhang Shicheng exhaled deeply and said with a smile: "Having said that, we must not underestimate the enemy." ”
Zhu Chuba nodded approvingly, and said, "Since the great enemy is coming, it's time to go back." Inform Marshal Han of this news and prepare early. ”
"Okay," Zhang Shicheng got up and said, "You and I will work together to fight the thieves." ”
Zhu Chuba got up to say goodbye, but he didn't notice that Zhang Ying on the side was kneading the corners of his clothes unnaturally, as if he was hesitating about something.
At this moment, there was a loud laugh outside the door.
"Eighth Brother Chu, you promised to try it with me, but you failed to do so in Fanyang City that day, and today I came to you again."
Zhu Chuba smiled bitterly when he heard this. It is Lu Hanqing, since Lu Mang defected to Zhang Shicheng with 10,000 government troops, Lu Hanqing has been keeping to himself as his centurion, except for often overstepping the level to find Zhu Chuba to fight alone, but he has not done anything excessive. After all, he is the third son of Fan Yang Lu's family, and everyone is also left by him.
Zhu Chuba didn't mind competing with him, but at this time, he hurried back to Zhaozhou to inform Han Yu of the news, and he didn't have time to entangle with Lu Hanqing. When she was distressed, Zhang Ying's eyes were shining, and she stepped forward to stop Lu Hanqing.
"Lu Hanqing, you defeated me in Fanyang that day, and I have always been unconvinced. Today, when you come to my territory, I won't bully you, so I will compete with me first with the old rules of the day, and then compete with the eighth brother if you win, how about it? ”
Lu Hanqing was overjoyed, Zhang Ying was already a defeated general under him, although a soft sword was extremely difficult, but he still figured out the routine. As long as she can match Zhu Chu as she wishes, what can she do. Without the slightest hesitation, he agreed to Zhang Ying's proposal.
But Zhu Chuba smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Ying'er, don't make trouble, I still have important military affairs that need to rush back to Zhaozhou to inform Marshal Han, but I don't have time to delay any longer." ”
Zhang Ying seemed to have expected Zhu Chuba to say this, and waved his hand disapprovingly and said: "What's this, I'll go to Zhaozhou with you, take this kid Lu Hanqing, anyway, it's just an insignificant centurion, I believe my brother won't refuse, right." ”
Zhang Ying turned her head to look at Zhang Shicheng, her eyes full of pleading.
Zhang Shicheng is so smart, how can he not see what his sister's purpose is, he waved his hand as if he was smiling, and said: "This is nothing, the son of Hanqing came to the army to train, there is no difference between going to you and me, let him go with you." ”
Lu Hanqing nodded happily, and Zhu Chuba was helpless, so he had to agree.
The White Lotus Cult is one of the most mysterious sects in the world today, and no one has ever known where its true helm is located. Even though the White Lotus Sect's major rudder masters are famous, no one has ever known who the chief helmsman of the White Lotus Sect is, but this person is real.
The capital of Yanjing, at the foot of the imperial city.
Maybe that's true, the most dangerous place is the safest place. No one would have thought, and no one would even dare to think, that the helm of the White Lotus Sect, which had been hated by the emperors of the past dynasties, would be set up at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
"Young master, I don't know why the chief helmsman is calling me here in a hurry?"
Li Xunlong suddenly received a summoning order from the chief helm a few days ago, and rushed to the place where the chief helm was located non-stop. Due to the special position of the chief rudder, unless it is a particularly important matter, the chief helmsman will not let him come to the chief rudder. Li Xunlong hurried to the helm, but he didn't see the helmsman, only the young master waited again, which couldn't help but make him a little strange.
This young master is the only son of the chief helmsman, and the handsomeness of the young man is abnormal, and he has also practiced a wonderful kung fu by the side of the chief helmsman, and he can also be said to be a young talent. All the helmsmen said that the chief helmsman was cultivating his only son as the next helmsman.
"Uncle Li, father, he has something important to deal with today, and he can't get out. But the things that you want to tell Uncle Li are equally important, and they can't be delayed, so let Yingxian do it for you. ”
Li Xunlong knew that Ye Yingxian was the acting chief helmsman, and his attitude became extremely respectful, and he bowed and said, "Young master, please command." ”
Ye Yingxian said solemnly: "The emperor has begun to attach importance to the army of the Jiangbei uprising, and ordered the Sichuan Provincial Zuo Prime Minister to take Badulu to Jiangbei with 300,000 troops to quell the rebellion. ”
Li Xunlong bowed deeply and said, "Li Xunlong took the order of the chief helmsman. ”
Ye Yingxian smiled, helped Li Xunlong up, and said, "Uncle Li, my father also ordered you to take me to Jiangbei this time, give full play to the heat on the battlefield, and help me with the White Lotus Divine Army." ”
Li Xunlong frowned and said: "How can the chief helmsman be willing to let you go to the front line to take risks, that is a place where swords don't have long eyes, no matter how strong your martial arts are, you may also be hacked to death by a random knife." ”
Ye Yingxian's face was also full of depression when he heard this, and he smiled bitterly: "I have to thank you for that good apprentice when I talk about this, my father specially mentioned his name, saying that he is the same age as me, and after studying art with Uncle Li for a few years, you have the ability to fight a world on the frontline battlefield." My father began to think that I was staying at the helm all day, and that I was idle and didn't want to make progress. ”
Li Xunlong smiled awkwardly, his heart moved, and he said secretly: "Could it be that the chief helmsman is worried that his prestige in the sect will exceed that of the young master in the eighth year, which will affect the status of the young master's heir?" ”
Indeed, without the existence of Zhu Chuba, the next head of the White Lotus Sect, Ye Yingxian, was indifferent, and I believe that no one would have an opinion. But during this time, his apprentice Zhu Chuba's performance on the battlefield was indeed too eye-catching, and some people in the sect had already compared him to the young master Ye Yingxian. If these remarks were known to the helmsman, he should be worried.
"The helmsman praised it, and my disciple was just lucky, and he went to the front just when the situation was good. My disciple I know, if he is capable, but he is not as rumored. ”
Ye Yingxian's expression moved slightly, a touch of imperceptible ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Uncle Li is too modest, what kind of ability he is, I will know when I go to the front line to meet him for a while." ”
Li Xunlong nodded and said, "In this case, the situation is urgent at this time, so let's rush to Jiangbei as soon as possible." ”
......
Jiangbei Province, the stronghold of the Red Turban Army, Zhaozhou City.
Han Yu had already learned from Zhu Chuba's mouth that Sichuan Province had sent troops to quell the rebellion, and the three armies were strictly organized, stepped up the training of new soldiers, and waited for the arrival of the enemy army.
But today, there is another thing that excites the soldiers of the Red Turbans.
The matter of Lu Hanqing, the third son of the Lu clan in Fanyang, challenging Zhang Ying, the sister of the friendly army Zhang Shicheng, and Zhu Chuba, the general of his own marching army, has spread throughout the military camp, and in order to boost the morale of the soldiers, Zhu Chuba simply made this matter bigger.
A ring was set up in the barracks, so that all the soldiers could observe the competition, and those who were capable could directly challenge the winner after the battle, and if they could win, they would be directly awarded the rank of commander of the Ten Thousand Commanders, and they would ascend to the sky in one step.
The soldiers in the army were all excited after hearing the news, even if they didn't have the ability to get the military position of Wanfu, but it was also very enjoyable to have the opportunity to fight against a master of General Zhu's level.
The ring was set up in the middle of the barracks, and the surrounding area had long been surrounded by soldiers who had come to watch.
Lu Hanqing stood straight in the center of the ring with his frost dragon gun early, and Zhang Ying and Zhu Chuba came late and came together. Zhang Ying pulled out the viper sword at her waist and jumped up.
The soldiers of the Red Turban Army have long seen the kung fu of this friendly female general, and the soft sword in one hand is strange and unpredictable, and it is really difficult. In addition, Zhang Ying herself is a beautiful and sassy woman, and as soon as she came on stage, she caused a burst of cheers from the audience.
"Brother Lu, be merciful."
Zhang Ying's eyes were sharp, and without saying much, the viper sword snaked straight towards Lu Hanqing.
Lu Hanqing laughed, the frost dragon spear shook out three gun shadows, and the three illusory dragon shadows surrounded the viper, Zhang Ying had no way to break through the frost dragon lance's pinch, so she had to retreat.
"Hahaha, Sister Zhang Ying, your Viper Sword has been seen through by me, admit defeat, you don't have a chance."
Zhang Ying also knew that her soft sword viper was winning in making strange moves, but in the previous battle with Lu Hanqing, her move routine had almost been seen through by Lu Hanqing, and it was difficult to have a surprise effect.
"Hmph..."
Zhang Ying snorted, she is not someone who will admit defeat so easily. There was a sly glint in her eyes, and her steps connected the dots, looking for a suitable angle to lift her sword again.
Zhang Ying smiled secretly in her heart: "Didn't you figure out my routine?" Then I will do the opposite, and treat this soft sword as an ordinary hard sword. ”
Lu Hanqing saw Zhang Ying's soft sword coming straight to the door again, and laughed again: "Do you want to do this again?" It's useless, Sister Zhang Ying. ”
As the Viper Sword approached the front door, he drew his gun and parried his side. According to Zhang Ying's previous moves, this sword will definitely take advantage of the soft characteristics of the Viper Sword to attack the side.
But the next moment, Lu Hanqing's pupils contracted sharply, because the Viper Sword did not change the angle as he thought, but stabbed straight towards his face.
As a martial arts idiot, Lu Hanqing is certainly not so easy to deal with. Extremely quickly, he moved the tail of the frost dragon spear back, and narrowly blocked the tip of the viper sword with the dragon's tail. But he changed his tactics temporarily, and his force was insufficient, and he was hit by the viper sword and took a few steps back.
The Viper Sword was slightly better than half a move, and the soldiers in the audience cheered.
Lu Hanqing no longer dared to underestimate the enemy, his eyes were sharp, and he rolled along the side of the viper sword that attacked one after another, and quickly approached Zhang Ying.
After all, most of Zhang Ying's kung fu is on the Viper Sword, although the temporary change of moves is unexpected, but if it is just an ordinary hard sword, it is naturally incomparable to Lu Hanqing.
Lu Hanqing was unforgiving, clinging to Zhang Ying tightly, holding the front end of the frost dragon spear, and after a few quick moves with Zhang Ying, he finally put the tip of the spear against Zhang Ying's smooth neck.
Zhang Ying's face was relieved, there was no extravagant hope of victory in this battle, and she was already very satisfied if it could cause Lu Hanqing a moment of trouble.
"Concession."
Lu Hanqing withdrew the tip of the frost dragon spear, and his straight body stood proudly.
For the strong, the soldiers of the Red Turban Army never skimped on their appreciation. After defeating Zhang Ying, Lu Hanqing had already shown his strength to the soldiers of the Red Turban Army, and in an instant, the audience instantly turned into a sea of cheers.
But soon, the cheers died down. Because they know that there is a better competition ahead.
For the strength of their marching general Zhu Chuba, the officers and soldiers of the Red Turban Army have a full understanding. The battle between the strong and the strong is what they are most willing to see, and in the expectant eyes of the soldiers, Zhu Chuba slowly stepped into the ring.
"Red Turban Centurion Lu Hanqing, weapon frost dragon gun, please advise."
Lu Hanqing stood solemnly on the field, the tip of the frost dragon spear dragging on the ground behind him.
Zhu Chuba smiled indifferently and responded: "Zhu Chuba, the marching general of the Red Turban Army, weapons..."
He looked at the long sword at his waist, looked up and said, "A nameless long sword, please advise." ”
Lu Hanqing's eyes were already full of fierce fighting spirit, and he had been looking forward to the battle with Zhu Chuba for a long time. Ever since he knew that his self-confessed mentor Li Xunlong had accepted Zhu Chuba, a disciple, he had always wanted to learn from him, and now that he finally got his wish, how could he not go all out.
"Offended."
Lu Hanqing was not hypocritical, and rushed towards Zhu Chuba with the frost dragon spear, and Zhu Chuba held a long sword in his hand to meet the battle.
Lu Hanqing's frost dragon spear drew a graceful arc in the air and smashed towards Zhu Chuba. Zhu Chuba raised his long sword to block, and the guns and swords collided, hitting a little spark.
The power of Lu Hanqing's shot made Zhu Chuba feel a swelling pain in his arm, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
"Can't collide head-on." Zhu Chuba thought to himself.
The forward rush came to an abrupt end, and Lu Hanqing collected the gun and stabbed forward. But Zhu Chuba no longer fought with him, but bent back, his body slammed forward with his footsteps, avoided the thorn of the frost dragon spear, went around Lu Hanqing's back, and immediately straightened up and stabbed Lu Hanqing's back in advance.
Lu Hanqing immediately turned the frost dragon spear behind his back, blocked Zhu Chuba's sword, and then used his left foot as the axis, twisted his waist and rotated, facing Zhu Chuba.
Without the slightest intention of sparing his hand, the Frost Dragon Divine Spear swept upward. Zhu Chuba hurriedly took two steps back, dodging the attack of the frost dragon spear, and at the same time stabbed forward with the long sword in his hand. Lu Hanqing didn't take the sword, he dodged it sideways, the frost dragon spear changed to a horizontal shot, Zhu Chuba couldn't avoid it, and used the sword against the body of the frost dragon gun, but he didn't intend to forcibly block this gun, but gradually unloaded the force along the direction of the frost dragon gun, and his body leaned back slightly, narrowly avoiding the sharp tip of the gun.
The battle on the stage was exciting at the beginning, and the soldiers in the audience watched attentively, and they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, for fear of affecting the performance of the two on the stage.
Lu Hanqing carried the frost dragon spear and spun around in place, and the frost dragon shot at Zhu Chuba from the other side with the power of ten thousand jun, the rapid change of moves and the huge power shocked Zhu Chuba.
But Zhu Chuba, as Li Xunlong's personal disciple, of course would not be defeated so easily.
