Chapter 42: Capture the Door II

Like mountains and flowing water, cracks lack thunderbolts.

"Good knife technique." Qian Xunwu finally flashed a thought, and he was intoxicated with a bloody light, and he didn't know anything.

Cao Zongyu killed Qian Xunwu without even taking the knife, and the whole person rushed over like a tiger.

At this time, there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment in the whole city.

The walls reached the tower by this time.

The city tower of Nanyang South Gate is also double-storey. However, it is not as tall as in TV, but it seems to be a beacon tower on the Great Wall, and the upper layer is temporarily reinforced by Yan Riyu, and a mouthful of seeds has just been hung on it, which acts as an alarm bell.

The bell that Zhang Xuan heard in the county government came from here. If there is time, Yan Riyu will definitely build the roof of the city tower, but now that the soldiers are in danger, he will put this matter down first.

Cao Zongyu and Cao Tie went around both sides of the tower and killed, and the people behind the two of them automatically followed these two people and killed them.

At this time, the city had not yet woken up from the sudden chaos, everyone was chaotic and unorganized, and the two of them killed it, as if they were chopping vegetables and cutting melons, Zhang Xuan was bold for a while, unwilling to pick up the leak behind the two, and rushed into the city tower with gritted teeth.

The city tower is not tall, but about twenty square meters, and there is a staircase in the innermost part, which allows people to climb up, and it can't fit a few people at all. If this city tower occupies a large area, Zhang Xuan may not have the courage to rush in.

As soon as he entered the city tower, he saw a person blocking in front of him, Zhang Xuan was also a person who had killed people, and as soon as his courage came up at this moment, he immediately rushed up. When he took out the sword, he realized that this person was not a young man, but an old man.

"Old man, I'm fighting with you." A white-haired old man rushed forward with a loud shout, and the tip of the long sword in his hand was messy, making it difficult to see where the stab was for a while. If this is a martial arts novel, someone should praise it, a good move, there is truth in fiction, and there is fiction in reality.

Unfortunately not.

The reason why he can use such an effect is because the long sword in his hand is a literati sword, which is okay for practicing Tai Chi, but it can't be used for fighting at all, and the tricks he uses are okay for dancing swords, but it is far from being used to kill.

Zhang Xuan didn't even look at it, the long sword slashed on the sword body, and smashed the long sword away at once.

Zhang Xuan hadn't learned any swordsmanship at all, if it weren't for the identity disguise, he would have replaced the sword in his hand with a knife, even then the sword in his hand was much heavier, regardless of length or weight, it was a sword that could kill.

After flying this person's long sword, Zhang Xuan realized that this person was not an ordinary person. Wearing a cyan official robe and a bird embroidered on his chest, Zhang Xuan didn't recognize what kind of bird it was for a while, but he knew that this was an official, or a big official.

This person is none other than Yan Riyu.

Zhang Xuan's long sword pressed forward, pointed at Yan Riyu's neck, and said, "This lord, please restrain your hands." Otherwise, you're welcome. ”

"How can I be a thief if I am a dignified court official?" Yan Riyu sneered and said, he didn't seem to think about it, the whole person rushed forward, Zhang Xuan couldn't retract his sword, and suddenly stabbed into Yan Riyu's chest, Zhang Xuan immediately drew his sword out, and blood splashed out.

Zhang Xuan said: "Why are you suffering? ”

Yan Riyu closed his eyes, let his blood stain his body red, and chanted: "Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, only righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence." What is the matter with reading the books of the sages? Now and then, you can have no regrets. Now and then, you can have no regrets. ”

Yan Riyu has been repeating these last eight words: "Now and in the future, you can have no regrets." Slowly, there was no sound.

Zhang Xuan watched this old man who could be his grandfather die like this, and died in his own hands, and a sense of guilt suddenly arose in his heart.

"This is Wen Tianxiang's last word." Zhang Xuan said secretly in his heart. He suddenly remembered that countless years ago, under the dappled sunlight in the morning, in the history books, the small words that did not need to be examined were written about Wen Tianxiang's last encounter. The words of that year reflected each other with the scene in front of him, and for a while Zhang Xuan had the illusion that he didn't know where he was.

"What the hell am I doing?" Zhang Xuan asked himself.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang Xuan." Zhang Xuan suddenly heard someone calling him outside. Zhang Xuan went out to take a look, but saw that a person had already rushed to the city, this person was bulging, I don't know how many layers of iron armor he was wearing, and he looked like the whole person was bigger. He was carrying a long knife, and blood was still dripping from the tip of the knife.

"I'm Zhang Yingyuan, we have to take care of it more in the future." Zhang Yingyuan said.

Zhang Xuan also heard of Zhang Yingyuan's reputation, and said: "You and I are our own family, maybe five hundred years ago, it was still a family, and I will ask my eldest brother to take care of me in the future." ”

"Okay." Zhang Yingyuan said: "Have you seen Yan Riyu? ”

Zhang Xuan asked, "Who is Yan Riyu?" ”

Zhang Yingyuan said: "It is the prefect of Nanyang." ”

Zhang Xuan said secretly: "That old man just now seems to be the prefect." He said, "I have an official in my hand, but I don't know who it is?" ”

"Where?" Zhang Yingyuan hurriedly asked.

"It's inside." Zhang Xuan said.

Zhang Yingyuan pushed the door in and took a look, and said, "Sure enough, it's Yan Lao Thief." ”

Zhang Xuan asked, "Does the eldest brother know this?" ”

Zhang Yingyuan said: "Don't you know, when this old thief came to the camp to surrender, I also saw him, he said good things during the day, and killed many of my brothers at night. As he spoke, he grabbed Yan Riyu's bun and chopped off Yan Riyu's head with a wave of his long knife. Yan Riyu didn't seem to be dead yet, and her body twitched violently. He lifted the head and said, "Don't worry, the eldest brother can't take your head credit, but," he shook Yan Riyu's head, blood sprinkled on the wall, and said with a smile: "Your loot, borrow it from me." ”

Saying this, Zhang Yingyuan stood at the head of the city, raised Yan Riyu's head high, and said: "Yan Riyu is dead, surrender and don't kill." ”

The people, who were still instinctively fighting against the rebels, saw Yan Riyu's head from a distance, and suddenly the last trace of courage to resist was gone, and the rest was to look at the wind and surrender.

Zhang Yingyuan didn't even have time to send someone down from the ladders on both sides, but grabbed a rope, jumped down from the city, and opened the city gate with a few guards.

"Boom." With a bang, the drawbridge slammed down. The city gate creaked open, and the sound of countless horses' hooves merged into a muffled sound. Wang Lung took the lead and was the first to rush in.

As soon as the city gate was opened, the army entered the city, and the major event was decided, and there was no more repetition, and this Nanyang Mansion fell into the hands of Cao Ying.

"Childe, did you see the old thief in the process?" Cao Zongyu was covered in blood at the moment, carrying a knife to look around for Cheng Wenying's whereabouts.

"He's right here?" Zhang Xuan said: "Didn't you find it? ”

Zhang Xuan is very sure of this, because Yan Riyu is in the city, Cheng Wenying should be Yan Riyu's subordinate, how can he not be in the city?

"Nope." Cao Zongyu's eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, if Cheng Wenying was allowed to run away today, the world would be vast and wanted to find Cheng Wenying, but he didn't know when, it was likely that he would never find it again, Cao Zongyu's revenge, wouldn't it be impossible to revenge, so Cao Zongyu was extremely anxious.

Zhang Xuan suddenly thought of something and said, "Have you looked for everything?" ”

Cao Zongyu said: "I've found it all." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Have you looked for it on this city tower?" ”

Cao Zongyu was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't looked for it? He was familiar with the wall, he played here many times when he was a child, but when he grew up and started studying, he rarely came. However, this is also a blind spot, because when they were here, there was no tower, that is, above the city, it was flat.

Not all cities have towers. Cao Zongyu cared too much, but he was so negligent.

Zhang Xuan's words woke up the person in the dream. Cao Zongyu suddenly rushed into the city tower and went up the stairs.

Zhang Xuan was suddenly shocked.

This staircase is very narrow, even only half a meter wide, and it is also very steep, the last way to go up is to climb up, if there are people on it, wouldn't it be very dangerous, but Zhang Xuan underestimated Cao Zongyu. He only heard a "jingle bell" from above, and then heard Cao Zongyu say: "Old thief, where do you look?" ”
