The shouts and attacks of hundreds of people came suddenly, and the bandits in the valley were obviously panicked, and when Chen Xu finally rushed in, there were already seven or eight bandits lying on the snow in the valley, the blood was still dripping, and the snow was red, and Bai Zhen and Zhou Bo, who had entered the valley in advance, had already begun to strangle the bandits with the police captain of the forbidden army, and the gourd valley, which was no more than half a mile in size, was full of bandits who were running and fleeing or fighting back.

There is a natural cave in the valley and more than a dozen shacks made of wood, branches and thatch, and there is indeed a path at the end of the valley, and many bandits who rushed out of the cave shacks are desperately fleeing to the path.

"Boom~" Chen Xu pulled the trigger and knocked a bandit ten feet away to the ground.

"Fire, don't let any of them go!" Chen Xu yelled.

"Boom~Boom~" A group of teenagers who followed all raised their firearms and began to shoot at the bandits who were scattered and fleeing, and in the thick flames and thick smoke, one after another the bandits screamed and fell to the snow, and the guards and forbidden army hunters who chased up also fell without mercy The swords fell, and the bandits who were wailing and rolling on the ground were in different places, and blood splashed and stained a large area of red snow.

"Hugh is leaving, Jibu~"

Bai Zhen held a steel knife like a tiger and rushed all the way to kill and cut down seven or eight bandits before rushing to the path, followed by the fleeing bandits and slashed, the light crossbow machines in the hands of a group of forbidden soldiers continued to roar, and the bandits crowded on the path screamed one after another and rolled down into the snow-covered thorn bushes.

"Run for your life, Qinghe Hou is here!"

Under the attack of hundreds of forbidden soldiers and police officers and hunters, the bandits quickly collapsed like a lost dog, shouting and fleeing, and in the crowd, a handsome and burly man with a long sword had already entered the path under the wrapping of a group of bandits, and the branches of the trees shook and the snow fell all over the sky, and disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.

"Zhou Bo, catch up with Ji Bu!" Chen Xu ran out of breath and yelled at Zhou Bo, who was still fighting with the bandits.

"Qianniuwei will pursue with me~" Zhou Bo yelled and turned around with blood on his face after overturning a bandit, and roared loudly, leading a group of Qianniuwei into the path, Bai Zhen also roared a few times, and rushed into the woods with hundreds of forbidden troops, sparsely swaying branches, and a few roars and screams came from the snowfall, and the sound quickly went away. "Whew, I'm tired!" Chen Xu bent down to support his knees, looked up at the direction where Ji Bu, Bai Zhen and the others disappeared and gasped vigorously.

Nima and these bandits are simply wild dogs, and the distance from the valley mouth to here is only half a mile, but the ground is covered with thigh-deep snow, plus the thorns and dead grass buried in the snow, chasing and running in it is like stepping on a quagmire, and after a short sprint, Chen Xu felt like a bellows was pulling in his body, and his lungs stimulated by the cold air began to ache.

"Don't be in a hurry, there is a forbidden army pursuing, and there is a senior brother ambush in the side valley, Ji Bu will definitely not be able to escape!" Shui gently supported Chen Xu to help him wipe his sweat and comfort him.

The fighting in the valley soon calmed down, and dozens of corpses lay down in the messy snow that trampled on, almost all of them were bandits, and the Janitor Sergeant and Orion Mountain Folk who followed the bandits were almost intact, and only a few were slightly injured in the bandits' counterattack, but they all seemed to be in good condition.

"The so-called ranger is nothing more than Erer!" Xia Zijin, who had been gently guarding Chen Xu with water all along, had not even drawn out his sword at this time, and snorted disdainfully as he looked at the corpses and blood all over the ground.

Chen Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

These so-called rangers, on weekdays, are just a group of ruffians who love to dance and play with guns and sticks, maybe the forbidden army may not be able to win one-on-one, but together it is just a group of rabble, how can it be compared with the well-trained forbidden army, not to mention the Qianniuwei This kind of janissary directly under the palace.

Moreover, it was a surprise attack today, and these bandits would never have thought that the forbidden army would come to kill them in such a snowy weather, and almost all of them were still hiding in the cave and shack to roast and sleep.

Under the combination of various factors, this group of bandits can only be frightened and inexplicably killed.

"Master Hou, all the bandits in the valley were killed, a total of eighty-two corpses were obtained, and twelve people were injured on our side, but there were no deaths!" A leader of the Forbidden Army came to report with a hot breath.

"Search the surrounding wooden houses to see if there are any caught and hiding, leave the county police lieutenant to clean up the battlefield, and the rest follow the white commander to pursue the bandits!" Chen Xu straightened up and commanded.

"Huh~" The leader of the forbidden army led the order, and soon most of the forbidden army and hunters rushed into the mountains and forests along the path, and the county commander and county lieutenant of the county commanded the lieutenant and the police to start cleaning up the wooden houses and corpses in the valley, and after Chen Xu rested for a few minutes, he also took the guards and the boy into the mountain forest accompanied by Shui Gentle and Xia Zijin.

This path may be the route that woodcutters and hunters in the mountains walk on weekdays, the road is very narrow, and it is also very rugged and steep, plus the snow is trampled by hundreds of people in front of the ice and snow melting, resulting in extremely slippery, listening to the killing shouts and screams in front of them have spread to the mountainside, and Chen Xu is still spinning at the foot of the mountain in a hurry, a group of guards wrapped Chen Xu in the middle, almost pushing him forward.

On the path and in the woods on both sides, the corpses of bandits could be seen every few feet, all of whom were all ragged and disheveled, and looked like savages, who had been hiding in the barren mountains for more than a year.

Half an hour later, Chen Xu finally climbed the mountain beam, but at this time he was already tired as a dog, hugging a big pine tree and panting, and the sound of the pursuit in front of him had reached the valley on the other side.

"Husband, don't chase after you, Ji Bu will soon be captured and killed by his senior brother!" Shui gently and distressedly helped Chen Xu keep stroking his back.

Xia Zijin pursed his lips and said: "You are still a disciple of the Immortal Family, not even as a child, you have only been tired like this for less than an hour, Sister Shui is afraid that you will not be able to enjoy happiness!" ”

The water was gentle and his cheeks were flushed instantly, but Chen Xu's body shook and stood up, gritting his teeth and walking along the path that stepped out, and said: "Ben Hou is just not used to climbing mountains, this time I must practice internal breath and swordsmanship when I go back, you still have to pity Brother Yu on weekdays, I see that he has lost a lot of weight recently, and his beard has grown!" ”

"Poof~" Shui Qingrou couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile at the delicate body trembling.

"Chick~" Xia Zijin also instantly blushed and spattered, and flew into the path with a few steps, and a faint voice floated in the wind, "Sister Shui, take care of Master Hou, I'll help that big idiot, so as not to be busy again this time!" ”

"Husband, how can you make such a joke with Sister Zijin, she is thin-skinned!" The water gently supported Chen Xu and said as he walked.

"Hehe, is she thin-skinned? Why didn't I realize that Brother Yu is enjoying himself every day? Chen Xu laughed a few times, hugged the water and gently walked down the steep and rugged mountain road with a group of guards and teenagers, but after a while, with a sound of holding grass, Chen Xu stepped into the air and rolled down the hillside with a grunt.

In the valley, a handsome and burly man with a distorted face ran wildly in the snow of the mountain forest with more than a dozen bandits, but because the snow was too thick, coupled with the blocking of thorns and dead grass and trees, he looked embarrassed, and behind him was only a few dozen zhang away, Zhou Bo, who was covered in blood, kept roaring and chasing like a hungry tiger, followed by twenty Qianniuwei, all of whom were chasing with their mouths and noses and faces pale, and behind Qianniuwei, there were hundreds of forbidden troops spreading like a black tide in the woods, and the killing cry shook through the valley, Huge amounts of snow puffed down from the cliffs and trees, and the cold wind rolled up puffs of snow and mist.

"Quick, rush out of the valley and leave on horseback!" Seeing that the mouth of the valley was approaching, Jibu yelled, and a group of bandits accelerated.

"Boom~"

Suddenly, the thorns at the mouth of the valley shook, and a man dressed in black jumped out of the snow, and a fire gun in his hand spewed out a puff of fire and smoke, and a bandit beside Ji Bu fell to the snow with a scream.

At the same time as the fire bolt sounded, more than a hundred forbidden soldiers in black armor emerged from the snow one after another, raising the light crossbows in their hands in unison, accompanied by a few bangs, sharp arrows pierced the cold air, and several bandits fell down with screams one after another.

"Ji Bu, today is your death date, and you will be arrested before you kneel to the ground!" The man in black choked and pulled out the sword behind his back.

"Brother Ji, I have no way out!" A bandit wailed in horror.

"Kill you, kill it!" Ji Bu drew the long sword at his waist and roared angrily and strode towards Yu Wuya.

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!" Yu Wuya spit out a stalk of grass in his mouth, and swept forward with his sword.

"Poof~" A tall young man behind Ji Bu suddenly stabbed Ji Bu in the back with a sword.

"You...... You...... Why...... Kill...... I ......" Ji Bu looked back at the boy in disbelief, and blood poured out of his mouth and nose as he spat out a few words.

"Poof~" The burly young man drew his sword and slashed down again, Ji Bu flew out with a sluggish head and smashed it into the snow, a cavity of blood spurted up in his neck, and the headless corpse stood for half a minute before he knelt down with a puff and crooked, and the dripping blood splashed several feet in a radius, looking unusually dazzling and bloody in the snowy canyon.

"Brother Ji is dead, run away~" The remaining bandits fled in panic after a short period of sluggishness.

"Kill, don't leave a single one!" Yu Wuya roared and shot, and soon caught up with a bandit and slashed to the ground, and the remaining seven or eight bandits soon fell down screaming in the loud noise, and then were stabbed to death with swords and beheaded by Zhou Bo and Qian Niuwei, who caught up.

The ambush was easily completed, and the forbidden troops who were chasing and intercepting before and after all surrounded him, surrounding a burly teenager in the middle.

"Hehe, I can't imagine that Ji Bu, who is famous all over the world, would die in the hands of a young man, and he is still fighting in the nest, tsk, what about your chivalrous chivalry?" Yu Wuya didn't recognize the boy, and thought that the boy killed Ji Bu in order to survive.

The burly young man's body trembled slightly, looking at the forbidden army that was densely surrounded around him, he dropped the sword in his hand and said, "I'm not one of them!" ”

"Wow, you're as thick-skinned as my father-in-law, and you can say this kind of thing!" Yu Wuya was shocked.

"Ji Bu's ambush of the Marquis of Qinghe has nothing to do with me, a certain line does not change his surname, he does not change his name, but he ......"

"Okay, okay, since you killed Ji Bu, I naturally can't kill you, when my engong arrives, it depends on your luck whether you are dead or alive, tie him up!" Yu Wuya interrupted the young man's words with a wave of his hand, and several forbidden soldiers rushed up and pressed the burly young man into the snow, using a belt to tie his hands firmly.

"Hold the grass...... Hold the grass ...... I'm tired! ”

Chen Xu, covered in snow, stumbled with the help of a group of guards and finally caught up after twenty minutes, but what he saw in front of him was already a scene that had calmed down.

"Engong, Ji Bu has been hacked to death by one of his own men!" Yu Wuya jumped up and down in front of Chen Xu and grinned.

"Killed by his own people!" Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and walked in from the separated forbidden army, and saw a burly young man with shabby clothes and messy hair sitting in the snow with his hands tied.

"Is that you?" Xiang Yu looked at Chen Xu in surprise with a sluggish face.

And Chen Xu was also stunned for a long time, waved his hand and ordered Bai Zhen and Zhou Bo: "Let everyone step back, Ben Hou has something to ask this person alone!" ”

"Huh~" Bai Zhen and Zhou Bo each turned around and yelled a few times, all the forbidden troops and Qianniuwei and the Orion mountain people who followed quickly dispersed and retreated, leaving only Shui Qingrou, Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin around Chen Xu, and even all the guards and teenagers retreated.

"You...... Are you really the world-famous immortal disciple Qinghe Hou Chen Xu? Xiang Yu didn't know what Chen Xu was going to do, and after staying for a long time, he muttered.

"Yes, it is Qinghe Hou Chen Xu, Xiang Yu, Wu Zhong has been absent for more than a year, I didn't expect to meet you in such a place!" Chen Xu nodded with a little emotion.

"I knew it was so, ...... I shouldn't have bumped into you in the first place, and I wouldn't have caused such a catastrophe for the Xiang family! Xiang Yu struggled to stand up, his hair was unkempt and covered in slush, and there was an indescribable melancholy and sadness on his face.

"You are wrong, even if there is no me, your Xiang clan will still rebel, and the appearance of a certain is just to arouse your Xiang clan's ambition in advance!" Chen Xu shook his head.

"Qinghe Hou, my Xiang clan has now disappeared, and the uncles and brothers in the clan are all dead, no matter what grudges my Xiang clan has with you, you don't have to take it to heart in the future, today I killed Ji Bu not to beg you to let me live, but to tell you that my Xiang Ji is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, nor does he hate you to the core, I should have died after I lost the bet, and I died in your hands today, even if I have no regrets!" Xiang Yu said with confused eyes.

"Ben Hou asks you one thing, did you really come to stop the Ji brothers from killing me in the first place?" Chen Xu asked.

"So you saw my sister Xiang Jing? Where is she now? Have you already killed you? Xiang Yu glared at Chen Xu.

"No, I haven't seen your clan sister in Langya, I know about this because something else happened, the process is very tortuous, I just want to know what your intentions are, do you really want to stop the Ji brothers from killing me?" Chen Xu shook his head and stared at Xiang Yu and said.

Xiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a bitter face: "What's the point of saying these things now, whether I block it or not, the ambush has already happened, Jiang Heng's niece was ambushed and died, I heard that you were also poisoned by an arrow and almost died, since you already know about this matter, please spare my sister's life, this matter is also over, in short, she is still kind from beginning to end!" ”

"What I want to tell you is that I haven't seen your clan sister Xiang Jing, I can't do anything to spare her, you still have to talk about the cause and effect, by now, you should already know that the Xiang family's rebellion has been wiped out, this has nothing to do with me, everything is your Xiang family's self-inflicted death, if you really come to stop the Ji brothers from killing me, then I can let you go!"

"You...... You don't kill me? Xiang Yu suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Xu.

"It's easy for me to kill you, but Ben Hou is not a person who will take revenge, you came to stop the Ji brothers from ambushing me, although it was not successful, but you did do it, not to mention that the will of heaven is difficult to disobey, and some things are not something you can prevent, and now your sister Xiang Jing will be in danger because she wants to remind me, which is what Ben Hou does not want to see!" Chen Xu nodded.

"What's the danger of Erniang? Where is she now? Xiang Yu asked anxiously.

"You still answer Ben Hou's question first, if you can satisfy Ben Hou, naturally let you go to find your clan sister!" Chen Xu shook his head.

"On the day...... After the conflict with you in Wuzhong that day, the clan sister suddenly came to me with an ugly face, and asked me if I knew the Ji brothers, and I guessed that it was Ji Xin and Ji Bu who were all over the Guanzhong, but then asked the clan sister but did not want to say in detail, and after the Hou Ye left Wuzhong, the clan sister invited me to return to the next phase together, and then followed the Hou Ye to Langya County before telling my uncle in the clan that he wanted to contact the Ji brothers to assassinate you, at that time I felt that this matter would not succeed, so I broke up with the clan sister, and the clan sister went to Langya to find out your true identity, And I followed Zhong Liwu to Guanzhong, wanting to stop this matter, but after seeing the Ji brothers, it happened that Zhong Liwu was also there, so I quarreled with them, Ji Bu took action to restrain me, and then arranged an ambush, I am not very clear about the rest of the matter, at the end of July, Ji Bu's people left in Guanzhong found out that you were poisoned by arrows, Zhong Liwu returned to Wuzhong alone to prepare to tell the uncle of the clan to rebel, and I was left by Ji Bu's side to take care of, Originally, according to the strategy discussed by Ji Bu and Zhong Liwu, it was to wait until my uncle raised troops in Wuzhong, and he also raised troops near Guanzhong to echo, but I didn't expect that soon after Zhong Liwu left, there was news that the Hou Ye was not dead, so Ji Bu did not dare to rebel, but took me and a group of people to hide in this Funiu Mountain, because I didn't dare to go out and show my face without food and clothing on weekdays, so I could only rely on robbing some caravans and civilians who came and went on Wuguan Road to survive, and I have been hiding like this for more than a year. Jibu wanted to wait until the situation outside calmed down before trying to escape, but you found a hiding place......"

Xiang Yu briefly explained the cause and effect, and finally looked at Chen Xu and said: "I can't interfere in the things arranged by the uncle in the clan, but you are wrong, if there is no Zhong Liwu and the Ji brothers, the uncle in my clan will definitely not rebel, and he will not end up in the current situation at all, I killed Ji Bu, I just hate them for bewitching my uncle without knowing the time, now that the Ji brothers are dead, my Xiang family has also been ruined, you spare me, don't spare me, the world is big and there is no place for me, you ...... You'd better give me a good time! ”

Chen Xu looked at Xiang Yu a little speechlessly.

He actually attributed all the mistakes to Zhong Liwu and the Ji brothers.

However, if you think about it carefully, this matter is indeed related to Zhong Li's demagogy, if it were not for the help of these chivalrous warriors who threaded the needle and led the way, the Xiang family would not have rebelled so hastily and rashly.

Although it began to vigorously sweep through several counties in the three counties and gathered tens of thousands of rebels, but at the moment Qin Da is still alive and jumping around his country, as long as Qin Da is alive for a day, no small can jump up, because in addition to the 70,000 new elite horse soldiers in the northwest, there are 200,000 troops in the southern Wuling, and there are nearly 300,000 lieutenants and soldiers scattered in the counties and counties across the country, and now there are more than 100,000 police guards, these state machines cover the entire Great Qin like sharp claws in the hands of Qin Da, Any man-made rebellion is a dead end.

But in any case, now that the Xiang clan has completely collapsed, there will no longer have any chance to successfully enter Xianyang and kill all the royal families, even if Xiang Yu is alive, after this round of hard fighting, the gentry and chivalrous warriors with other minds in the country will definitely disappear, and there will be no foundation and soil for rebellion again.

"Ben Hou once offered a reward of 100,000 yuan in the newspaper for killing Ji Bu, and now that Ji Bu died at your hands, I can't break my word and get fat......," Chen Xu instructed Yu Wuya to untie the belt tied to Xiang Yu's hand.

"Even if you don't kill me, where can I go?" Xiang Yu Yangtian let out a long sigh, his face was extremely sad, and his expression was completely similar to what he saw in Wuzhong.

A huge and prosperous family that rampant in Wuzhong collapsed in just one year, and even heartless people can't stand this kind of blow.

"Your sister Xiang Jing was kidnapped by a group of Fangshi and Mo disciples in Langya, this is what I heard when I went to Langya to save my wife, they got along together on a deserted island more than 100 miles away from Langya for more than a month, she told my wife the news that Zhong Liwu and Ji Kunzhong wanted to kill me on the island, so Ben Hou only knew about it after rescuing his wife, although she never told me personally, but she still saved Ben Hou's life, if it wasn't for her news to fall into my ears in time, Last time in Hangu Pass, I was really ambushed and killed by the Ji brothers, and if Ben Hou died, your Xiang clan would be wiped out no matter how hard you could raise an army to rebel, and the Ji clan who participated in the ambush would also die......"

"So, you should be glad that Ben Hou survived, now there is no place for you to stand in the Central Plains, if you don't want to live a life incognito, I can arrange for someone to send you to the East China Sea to leave the Central Plains by boat, and at the same time I hope you can find your clan sister Xiang Jing and thank her on my behalf, I am actually very grateful for everything she has done!"

"If you don't kill me, I hope you won't regret it in the future!" Xiang Yu nodded, bent down to pick up his long sword and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Chen Xu spoke.

"You can't regret it again?" Xiang Yu stood with an ugly face.

"It's not a repentance, but I'll let you go, and there's one more thing you have to promise me to do!" Chen Xu shook his head.

"What?"

"Your Xiang rebellion failed, but there are still people who escape......"

"Really?" Xiang Yu's face turned red with excitement and exclaimed.

"Yes, this matter is only known to the imperial court, there is no news from the people, your third uncle Xiang Bo escaped and did not know where to go, but Zhong Liwu escaped with him, and Zhong Liwu is the murderer who killed Miss Chuyue, and he is also the murderer who injured me, now Zhong Liwu and Xiang Bo escaped and do not know what to do, according to the recital from Huiji and Jiujiang, the two of them may have taken a boat to the sea along the river, I hope you can find Zhong Liwu and kill him, if you can do it, I will write to the emperor to clear your name!"

"Okay, even if you don't say it, as long as I know that Zhong Liwu is still alive, I will kill him at the ends of the earth, and hand over his head to you when the time comes!" Xiang Yu nodded without hesitation.

"I hope you do what you say!" Chen Xu raised his hand to summon a guard, and threw a waist card of the Marquis of Qinghe Mansion to Xiang Yu, "You are not in the list of anti-thieves wanted by the imperial court at the moment, but maybe there will still be rumors leaking out, take my Houfu waist card to Langya to find a person named Cao Shen, they have a big boat to go to sea, you can go to sea with them to find the clan sister Xiang Jing......"

"Engong, I've been going to the East China Sea for more than 2,000 miles, and now that Ji Bu is dead, and Engong is still protected by the musket team by his side, just let me and Zijin escort Xiang Yu to the East China Sea!" Yu Wuya hesitated for a moment and said.

"You like to wander the rivers and lakes so much?" Chen Xu looked at Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin with tears and laughter.

"Hehe, I just like to go to sea by boat, the sea is vast and boundless, and the big ship is very comfortable chopping waves on the sea, and at the same time, I also want to see where the Huangshi Gong said Yingzhou is, Xianyang, a place where birds don't, is not fun at all!" Yu Wuya said with a dry laugh.

"Okay, that's how it will be arranged!" Chen Xu nodded helplessly.

Since the last time they came back from the East China Sea, Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin have hardly stayed in Xianyang for a few days, and the two have been going out to find out Ji Bu's whereabouts, although Chen Xu seems to be very tired, but the two seem to be enjoying it, and they like this kind of life wandering in the rivers and lakes very much, and this is also in line with Yu Wuya's nature, when he rescued Yu Wuya in Xiaohe Village, he was wandering around and snatching the Mo family's great order before being chased and killed by the ink disciples and almost hanged.

And Xia Zijin's personality is similar to Yu Wuya, he can't stay at all, his personality belongs to the kind of bohemian and uninhibited breed, and he doesn't like to communicate with ordinary people very much, he stays in the Hou Mansion and has some topics with Chen Xushui softly, and other people such as Meng Wan and Ying Shiyan and others nod slightly when they meet on weekdays, and they don't bother to say anything.

Ji Bu died, this once in the later generations of history books ranger biography recorded as a promise of a thousand gold knights, finally in this Chen Xu crossed this time and space line in advance to draw an end, and the history books of later generations will be recorded as: Guanzhong bandits first Ji Bu gathered bandits for trouble, once in Hangu Pass ambush Qinghe Hou failed, and was personally killed by Qinghe Hou in Funiu Mountain.
