Chapter 137: Laugh at your sister
In the tavern of Chong'an City, it seemed quite silent, and the two drank opposite each other at the table.
The delicate and pretty woman stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the gray sky - there was no moon, and it was time to rain.
"Okayβ"
Yu Kang put down the wine cup in front of him, looked up at Chen Xian, frowned and asked, "Don't send troops yet?" β
"Isn't it time for them to arrive?" Chen Xian raised his chopsticks and asked rhetorically.
Yu Kang just wanted to pick up the wine glass, but when he heard this, he frowned and thought about it, put the wine cup down again, and said, "According to the distance, it's time to arrive!" β
"Well, then send a letter to General Chen Rongchen and ask him to send troops!" Chen Xian took a sip of wine.
"Chen Rong?" Yu Kang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What about us?" β
Chen Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "General Chen has 20,000 horses there, and he is still holding back the strength to grab merit, do you need us to go over and cause trouble?" β
Yu Kang really didn't understand Chen Xian's train of thought, he frowned: "Chen Rong is indeed no problem in defeating them, but what if they run away?" β
Chen Xian said firmly: "Where to run?" To the west, there were officers and soldiers stationed in Guixi and Xing'an, and after they suffered defeats, they had no food and supplies, so they had to retreat to Fujian to find another way to survive. β
"Thatβyou mean, we only need to block their retreat in the area of the water dividing pass, and they will become turtles in the urn......" Yu Kang's eyes lit up.
Chen Xian said with a smile: "Chen Rong's 20,000 soldiers and horses chased all the way into Fujian, joined forces with us, and chased these people all the way...... Until Deng Maoqi's territory, wouldn't it be better? β
Yu Kang was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses: "Do you want to catch them all?!" β
"Not to mention that going back to Canghuo will cause any bigger changes to this team, as long as Chen Rongyi sends troops, whether it is Ye Xiba or Chen Jianhu to win, if you don't want to be trapped by a large number of officers and soldiers at the junction of Jiangxi and Fujian, then there is only one way to go to Deng Maoqi, who defects to the south."
"It's a pity that Deng Maoqi besieged Jianning for seven days and failed, and now he has turned to attack Yanping and hit a wall, coupled with Lord Liu Hua's strict strategy of guarding it before, they have also shown fatigue."
"We just need to chase and kill ......all the way," Chen Xian said this, and dipped his finger in the wine in the glass, and drew an arc on the table: "Block them from the east, west, and south until they are driven to the sea......"
Because Yu Kang served as the commander-in-chief, he couldn't stay in the city for a long time, and he didn't even finish the wine in the pot before leaving.
Chen Xian walked out of the tavern, the weather was a little hot, there were no stars and no moon in the sky, and the pedestrians on the road were all in a hurry, for fear that it would rain heavily.
Wei Qingqing followed him silently, his head hanging slightly, looking from a distance, it looked like a rich man with a delicate and beautiful maid was hanging out on the road.
Chong'an City is built on the mountain, and the roads in the city are also a little rugged, with small wooden buildings crowded on both sides of the road, which makes people worry - if you go out of the water, won't you burn most of the buildings in the city to the ground?
When Chen Xian crossed the uninhabited path, he realized that there was a person standing in the small resting pavilion on the side of the road.
The man in black, with a masked face, was not tall, his back was slightly bent, and he looked like a weak gust of wind could blow it away.
But Chen Xian stood still, because the other party was playing with the two short knives in his hand.
Chen Xian smiled and arched his hand at him: "Your Excellency?" β
The other party's eyes were a little gloomy, and his voice was a little hoarse: "You are Chen Xian?" β
Chen Xian spread his hands: "The old gentleman is too rude to do this, and it is clearly a name for asking for advice first." β
"Hmph." The man in black took two steps outside the pavilion, and glanced at Chen Xian and Wei Qingqing behind him with a cold gaze: "My name is Zeng Wu." β
"It turned out that the three elders of the White Lotus Sect were here!" Chen Xian grinned: "A person like you with an important identity should also inform me in advance if you want to come, so I can put up a formation of three hundred cavalry to welcome!" β
"How do you know I'm the Third Elder?" Zeng Wu was stunned, and then frowned - the holy woman seems to have told this guy a lot of things in the sect.
"Naturally, it's because you are an elder who is majestic, isn't it said on the rivers and lakes that you once rode on the Five Emperors Mountain alone, and drove away the five masters who had been practicing in the mountains for eighteen years with just one mountain-opening knife?"
Zeng Wu's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, in fact, this matter was not as glorious as the rumors in the rivers and lakes, of course, he would never explain these things to the other party, he just snorted lightly: "I'm old, I can't lift the mountain sword." β
"Since you yourself admit that you are old, why bother to wade into this muddy water?" Chen Xian bent his waist and said comfortably: "Wouldn't it be wonderful to go back to your house and hug your grandson to live for the rest of your life?" β
Chen Xian's words obviously hit the hidden pain in Zeng Wu's heart, he abruptly clenched the two short blades in his hand tightly, and said coldly: "You say so much, it's just to delay time, but the nearest officers and soldiers are also at the city gate, no matter how much you say, it's useless." β
"Oh!" Chen Xian grinned, not having the slightest awareness of being assassinated, but thanked him: "Thank you Elder Zeng for reminding me, but I'm still afraid that Elder You're old, and it's easy to be killed if you do this kind of assassination!" β
Speaking of this, he saw that Zeng Wu's eyes were about to erupt with fire, so he hurriedly added: "There are a few young people in your sect who are still good, and there is a little lady named Chun, although it is a little more vulgar, but it is impressive; There is also a guy named Su Xinxuan, although he is a little ugly, but his knife skills are okay, why don't you send them over! β
"Hmph, you kid knows a lot of things I teach." Zeng Wu responded hoarsely.
Chen Xian saw that Zeng Wu hadn't made a move yet, so he hugged his hands in his sleeve cage and continued: "That's it, Elder Zeng, you go back and rest first, and then order their group of minions to attack me, they really can't take me, it's not too late for you to make another move!" β
"Joke!" Zeng Wu snorted coldly, he didn't have the patience to talk to this kid anymore at the moment, so he took two steps forward and stepped out of the pavilion.
There were no stars or moons, and the city was dark and quiet, not even the barking of dogs.
"Zheng-" Wei Qingqing had an extra long sword in her hand, and there was no longer shyness and nervousness in her eyes, but a little more solemnity.
"No wonder you are so fearless, it turns out that this servant girl is still a master." Zeng Wu saw at a glance that the delicate little girl in front of him was a master, but he didn't care at all - at such a young age, even if he stepped into the first-class realm, how much combat experience could he have?
Chen Xian arched his hand and explained without humility: "Actually, this disciple below has just learned one-tenth of my ability. β
"Hahaha!" Zeng Wu seemed to have heard some big joke, his voice was already hoarse, and at this moment he laughed like a crow's cry.
"Laugh at your sister!" Chen Xian suddenly pulled out the sleeve cage in his hand, raised his hand and pointed at the black-clothed old man a few steps away.
