Chapter 60: The Aftermath
Looking at Zhai Rang who got up from the ground, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but admire. Zhai Rang was stabbed in the back, and a hole was pierced in his chest by a horse lance. These two fatal injuries, coupled with Cheng Biting Jin's solid punch to his chest, Zhai Rang was still able to stand up, and he really deserved to be the original leader of the Wagang Army.
Although Zhai Rang's current spirit is very touching, he is a hard-hearted person who does not bite gold in the process, and it has always been a good habit for Cheng to bite gold while he is sick and ask him to die. Before Zhai Rang could stand up straight, Cheng Yanjin grabbed the horse lance on the ground, stomped on the ground with his right foot, and killed Zhai Rang as fast as lightning.
Zhai Rang's body protection true qi is extremely strong, Cheng Biting Jin's punch in his chest just now did not play a big role, seventy percent of the strength of it was dissolved by Zhai Rang's body protection true qi, Cheng Biting Jin is not confident that Zhai Rang can be killed in a short period of time with just a pair of fleshy palms.
People who often walk on the rivers and lakes have heard such a saying: No matter how high your martial arts are, you are afraid of kitchen knives! With a weapon in his hand, no matter how strong Zhai Rang's protective true qi is, how can he block the sharp weapon? If you can't die after taking a beating, then come a few more times, and when Zhai Rang's body is full of holes, you won't believe that he won't die!
Before Cheng Yanjin rushed in front of Zhai Rang, Zhai Hong, who was covered in blood, rushed over from the side, and the weapon in his hand slashed towards Cheng Yanjin, blocking Cheng Yanjin's pursuit. A horse lance picked Zhai Rang to fly out, and Cheng almost laughed out loud.
What kind of thing is this Zhai Hong, even if he dares to stand up and be embarrassed by that bit of martial arts cultivation, does he think he is Zhai Rang? Or is it that any cat or dog can be bullied? Although it is said that they have a deep brotherly relationship, if they want to rescue, they must also look at the timing, look at the object!
was interrupted by Zhai Hong, and Zhai Rang over there had already exchanged hands with Li Mi, who had reacted. Seeing that Zhai Rang was suppressed by Li Mi and had no power to fight back, and the wounds on his body were still bleeding vigorously, Cheng Biting Jin turned his head and was about to leave. It is very embarrassing to oppose this kind of thing in the nest no matter where it goes, and if you can not participate, you will not participate, and the reputation of the province will be ruined.
Besides, he is now dressed as a man in black, which is weird, but I am afraid that anyone who sees it will think that he is a pervert, so it is better to leave early, so as not to be recognized by others, and it is good to have no face.
As soon as he turned his head, Cheng Yanjin saw Xu Maogong rushing out with his neck covered, and behind him, several of Li Mi's henchmen pounced like wolves. Seeing that those weapons were about to chop Xu Maogong into pulp, Cheng Yanjin didn't think about it, and the horse lance in his hand flew up and down like a butterfly, intercepting all the attacks of those people.
Giving him this agitation, whether it was Li Mi's people or Zhai Rang's henchmen, they were all confused, and they couldn't figure out whether Cheng Yanjin was an enemy or a friend. As a result, there was a strange scene on the battlefield, Li Mi's men and Zhai Rang's henchmen fought each other, and then they slashed their weapons at Cheng Yanjin at the same time. The three parties are inseparable, and they are making Cheng Cheng bitter.
There was nothing for him to do here, but no matter which way he broke through, someone beckoned him with a weapon. Although with his martial arts cultivation, if he was serious, these people besieging him were not his opponents at all. But in this situation, he can't kill these people.
After this infighting, the strength of the Wagang army has dropped a lot. If he indiscriminately kills all the generals here, I am afraid that in less than half an hour, the Wagang Army will disappear and become a legend in the rivers and lakes. It doesn't matter if the Wagang Army dies, if history changes because of this, then he will regret it.
It was because of this that Cheng Yanjin intervened to save Xu Maogong. In the Wagang Army, Xu Maogong's relationship with him is very ordinary, far from the point where Cheng Biting Jin will save him, if it is a different occasion, Cheng Biting Jin will take care of him!
There are not many generals in the Wagang army who can lead troops to fight and take charge alone, and this Xu Maogong is one of the more capable. Now the 200,000 troops stationed in Liyangcang are Xu Maogong's cronies, if Xu Maogong has three longs and two shorts, I am afraid that those armies will be scattered in an instant, and even if Li Mi kills all the cronies and generals of Zhai Rang, the Wagang army, which is only a mess, can last a few days under the attack of the imperial officers and soldiers?
The more I think about it, the more aggrieved I feel in my heart, others are not planes, cannons, atomic bombs, or money beauty heartthrobs, how can they tremble like themselves, walking on thin ice, and even have to be afraid at night!
It's not just this that annoys Cheng Yanjin. Now the weapon in his hand was a horse lance that had been snatched from someone else. Although the weapon is not as easy as the big plate axe he uses, he has also practiced with his cousin's father-in-law and master Wang Lao Boxer for two days before, and it is more than enough to deal with this small scene in front of him.
However, his kung fu on the horse lance had been practiced in front of people when he was bored before, so there were many people who knew it, and if he used it more times, he was afraid that he would be recognized from it. Sensing the inexplicable light in the eyes of the master who was fighting against him, Cheng Biting Jin became more and more empty.
However, soon, Cheng Yanjin stopped being weak, but became panicked. Although he was besieged by a bunch of masters, he also had the energy to observe the situation around him. When Zhai Rang, Zhai Hong, Zhai Mohou, Wang Ruxin and others were all beheaded, Cheng Yanjin thought that his suffering was finally over, but he didn't expect that those guys who had their hands free actually surrounded him and killed him.
Seeing these guys let go of Shan Xiongxin and other generals who were kneeling on the side begging for mercy, Cheng Yanjin wanted to cry. He was originally here to help, but he didn't expect to help but helped himself, what is this called! Looking around, the people brought by Zhai Rang are either dead or captured, except for him who is still swords, other places have been calm.
A horse lance forced the surrounding masters to retreat, Cheng Yanjin was a little upset, if he continued like this, he would be trapped to death after all. It is better to let others be unlucky than to suffer losses yourself. Thinking of this, a trace of murderous aura emanated from Cheng Biting Jin's body, these bastards, if they don't know each other and get out of the way, don't blame the master for making a ruthless move!
Fortunately, not all of them are blind after all. As soon as Cheng Biting Jin's murderous aura emanated, Li Mi on the side stopped his subordinates from drinking. Looking at the group of masters who were still eyeing them, Cheng Yanjin threw the horse lance in his hand on the ground, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and then swaggered past them.
Grabbing two hands of sand on the ground, Cheng Yanjin walked out of the tent. Stimulated the sand in his hand with internal strength, and took advantage of the kung fu of the soldiers outside to bow their heads and hide their faces, Cheng Biting Jin kicked his feet, and the whole person flew out like a spring.
As early as when Cheng Yanjin was fighting against Zhai Rang, he heard the chaotic footsteps of the soldiers who heard the news outside the camp. He was embarrassed to see people in this outfit now, so he had to make this decision. Fortunately, God gave him face and let him get out without danger.
Just as Cheng Yanjin was changing his armor in his tent, Li Mi's soft voice sounded throughout the camp along with the internal strength: "I raise an uprising with you to eliminate violence and seek common causes. Situ Zhai Rang is arbitrary, greedy and tyrannical, ** colleagues, and rude to his superiors. Now killing his family for the sake of the great cause of Wagang has nothing to do with you, please don't worry! ”
Watching the soldiers around Li Mishuai's tent slowly leave suspiciously, Cheng Yanjin was a little relieved. It seems that Li Mi's prestige has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people on weekdays, and these people didn't react much to such a big thing as killing Zhai Rang, and they didn't cause the mutiny that Cheng Yanjin was most afraid of, God blessed.
However, these people are easy to fool, but the soldiers who have been led by Zhai Rang are not easy to explain. It depends on how Li Mi responds, if those people rebel, maybe he can take the people and horses to kill them and kill all the descendants of Zhai Rang! Anyway, I've long seen those bastards unpleasant!
After eating and drinking in the camp tent for a long time, Cheng Yanjin did not hear the sound of shouting and killing outside, but felt that there was a tense atmosphere in the camp where the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings. Cheng Yanjin frowned and thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out, even if Li Mi's men and horses could not care, but Zhai Rang's subordinates should not be so silent. Could it be that at the beginning of Li Mi's operation, he had already sent a large army to surround Zhai Rang's men and horses? With Li Mi's usual caution, it is very possible!
After eating and drinking, he lay in bed for a long time, but Cheng Yanjin did not feel sleepy at all. After tossing and turning in bed for a long time, the anxious Cheng Yanjin simply got up and ordered his soldiers to call the secret agent who was responsible for finding out the news. If he doesn't figure out the current situation, he won't be able to sleep anyway.
Soon, the capable spies who originally belonged to the Salt Gang Vermilion Bird Hall entered Cheng Yanjin's camp. After his report, Cheng Yanjin learned that it turned out that when he was eating and drinking in the sea in the camp tent, in order to appease people's hearts and show his openness, Li Mi helped the injured Xu Maogong into his camp tent and bandaged him personally.
Not only that, in order to prevent Zhai Rang's subordinates from breaking up, weaken the strength of the Wagang army. Li Mi sent Shan Xiongxin, who begged for mercy, to offer condolences, and then rode into Zhai Rang's military camp alone to stabilize the army's morale, in order to show that he was not wary of everyone and had no intention of harming them. In addition, Li Mi also repeatedly said that he would give these people a comfortable and preferential treatment, which could be regarded as stabilizing the morale of the army.
After hearing the spies report the situation, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but admire Li Mi's methods. In the end, it is a person who has read books and is educated, but it is different, and the head is really enough. If the same situation is put on himself, I am afraid that those people and horses of Zhai Rang have already accompanied Zhai Rang on Huangquan Road, where would they think of taking these people for their own use?
Moreover, from Li Mi daring to enter Zhai Rang's camp alone, it shows that since he practiced martial arts, he also has the temperament of a martial artist who likes to take risks, and it also shows that Li Mi is very confident in his current martial arts cultivation, even if he is trapped in Zhai Rang's camp, he is confident that he will come out alive. Isn't there a saying that 'a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall', if Li Mi did not have full confidence, how could he run to Zhai Rang's camp alone, he was not impatient and wanted to die!
Seeing Zhang Liang, who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield, walk in, Cheng Yanjin, who was drinking, jumped up directly, and before Zhang Liang could speak, Cheng Yanjin pulled him out of the camp. Li Mi was still dealing with some troubles after killing Zhai Rang in his handsome tent, and Cheng Yanjin had long wanted to go over to take a look, but if Zhang Liang didn't come back, he couldn't show up in the camp openly.
Although Li Mi and the others have already guessed his identity, no one will say it on the surface, this is the tacit understanding formed by the people in the rivers and lakes for many years. After all, no one would be stupid enough to erect an enemy innocently when it was inconvenient.
Besides, what Li Mi did was not a fair and honest thing, and he naturally would not be cheeky to talk about it with others. In fact, I am afraid that Li Mi will hate everyone, including himself, to forget what happened today, and save each other embarrassment.
When Cheng Yanjin entered Li Mi's handsome tent in the name of handing over the task, he found that it was very noisy, whether it was Li Mi who was sitting at the top, or the generals who were about to fight below, they didn't notice Cheng Yanjin's arrival.
After listening quietly for a while, Cheng Yanjin realized that the reason why these generals were more fierce than one was to compete for the leadership of Zhai Rang's soldiers. Hey, this is really conscious, Zhai Rang just died, and these guys moved their minds to those soldiers, which is really more conscienceless than the other. Can't they figure it out, although those soldiers look like a fat meat, but they are not able to swallow their appetite, and these guys are not afraid of being strangled!
Looking at Li Mi, who seemed to be a little absent-minded at the top, Cheng Yanjin's eyes narrowed. The current situation may not have been deliberately caused by Li Mi, using those soldiers as bait to let these generals compete for power and profit. First, they can be turned into accomplices, and in the future, they will both be prosperous and all will be lost; Second, it is also possible to divert attention and let these generals leave Zhai Rang's affairs behind, so as to minimize the damage caused by Zhai Rang's death to the Wagang army.
However, these quarrels could not last long, and if they caused a gap between the generals of the Wagang Army, I am afraid that it would be counterproductive. According to Cheng Yanjin's estimate, Li Mi is afraid that he just wants these generals to show their attitude and join him in the same stream, and no one will laugh at anyone in the future.
Sure enough, seeing the murderous pain in the camp tent, many generals seemed to be about to fight, Li Mi, who was sitting there, looked around, and then coughed lightly, and then the entire camp was quiet.
