Let's talk about Gai Yan and the black-faced man in the battle, the two fought more than ten rounds in one go, and in these dozen rounds, most of them were Gai Yan attacking, and the black-faced big man defending, it seems that Gai Yan has the advantage.

However, after more than a dozen rounds, the black-faced man suddenly launched a fierce counterattack.

He picked up the nine-eared eight-ring knife with one hand, and flew up and down, not only fast, but also extremely powerful in every move, when the blade slashed through the air, even Liu Xiu and the others, who were far away, could clearly hear the piercing buzz.

Jingle Bell!

After blocking the opponent's continuous attack of more than 20 knives, Gai Yan's physical strength was seriously depleted, and gradually showed signs of exhaustion, and people involuntarily retreated again and again.

Although Gaiyan was not immediately defeated, his hopes of victory were slim.

Liu Xiusheng was afraid that Gai Yan would be injured under the other party's knife, so he didn't dare to wait any longer, he shouted, pulled out the Qingfeng sword under his ribs, and ran over quickly. Before the person arrived, he shouted first: "Juqing, retreat!" ”

Gai Yan, who was fighting, didn't understand what was going on, and when he heard Liu Xiu's shout, he made a false move, jumped backwards, and withdrew from the battlefield. As soon as he retreated, Liu Xiu flashed past him and swung out with a sword.

When!

The Qingfeng Sword was colliding with the nine-eared and eight-ring knife that was chasing Gai Yan, and a cloud of sparks exploded in the air, and Liu Xiu and the black-faced man each took a step backwards.

Liu Xiu exhaled a breath of turbidity, turned his head sideways and said to Gai Yan: "Juqing, you step back first, I'll meet him!" ”

hasn't decided the winner yet, Gai Yan didn't want to go down, but Liu Xiu had already come up, and he had no choice but to retreat reluctantly.

The black-faced man looked at the young man standing in front of him, and his face showed surprise.

This young man looked tall and thin, and he didn't look like he had much strength, but it was incredible that he was able to take his heavy knife just now.

He took a deep breath and was about to rush forward, but after thinking about it, he opened his mouth and asked: "The person who came is famous, Lao Tzu is under the knife, and the nameless ghost is immortal!" ”

"Liu Xiu!" Liu Xiu didn't have any extra nonsense, he reported his name directly, he didn't ask the other party's name, he carried the Qingfeng sword, and walked straight towards the black-faced man.

Liu Xiu? Is he Liu Xiu? The black-faced man was secretly taken aback, and before he could react, Liu Xiu, who was originally walking slowly towards him, suddenly stomped on the ground with one foot, and the whole person shot straight towards the black-faced man as if he was off the string.

What a quick move! The black-faced man slashed forward completely out of instinctive reaction, intending to cut back the oncoming Liu Xiu.

As a result, the knife he slashed out unexpectedly was unbelievably empty, and Liu Xiu, who rushed forward, drew an arc unbelievably in his figure, letting the heavy knife of the black-faced man flash to his side, and hit his side with a sword.

The black-faced man was startled, he hurriedly bent down, and the sand, the blade of the sword almost brushed against his scalp, almost cutting off his bun.

This time, the black-faced man didn't dare to have any contempt for Liu Xiu anymore, he cheered up his spirit and fought with Liu Xiu.

Liu Xuan, who was watching the battle from behind, had his heart hanging in his throat, the muscles all over his body were tense, and his hand unconsciously held the hilt of the sword, and half of the sword was drawn out by him.

Zhang Tingke, who was also watching the battle, was far less nervous than Liu Xiu, looking at Liu Xiu, who was fighting with the black-faced man, he raised his hand and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Liu Xiu said: "It's my brother Liu Xiu!" ”

Zhang Ting looked at Liu Xiu in surprise, no wonder he was so nervous at this time, it turned out that this person was his younger brother, Uncle Liu Xiu, who was said to have captured the patriarch of the barbarian clan by himself!

Looking at Liu Xiu in the fight, he nodded secretly, this son's martial arts are indeed extraordinary, if he is put into the army, there is a three-year and five-year training, he will become a great weapon, but unfortunately, he took the wrong path from the beginning and joined the righteous army!

Although Zhang Ting is not a good person, he also has a heart for talent, and he can only secretly say a pity in his heart for Liu Xiu's upcoming fate.

The battle between Liu Xiu and the black-faced man was similar to the situation just now, at the beginning, Liu Xiu was attacking, and the black-faced man was not in a hurry to counterattack, but just blindly defended passively.

It's just that Liu Xiu's attack is much more powerful than Gai Yan's, mainly because his body is fast and his moves are fast, and he often forces the black-faced man to be in a hurry.

But after twenty or thirty rounds, the black-faced man gradually adapted to Liu Xiu's style of play and began to counterattack.

The contest between the tip of the policy and the wheat mang, this is just the beginning.

The black-faced man seized an opportunity and attacked Liu Xiu nine times in a row, Liu Xiu's body seemed to be a ghost, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, if he really couldn't dodge, he used the Qingfeng sword to catch the opponent's nine-eared and eight-ring knife.

Just when Liu Xiu was full of all his strength and wanted to fight with the other party, the black-faced man's big knife slashed Huashan and cut it down, directly hitting the top of Liu Xiu's head, and the latter parried upwards with a horizontal sword.

When! The black-faced man's nine-eared and eight-ring sword smashed firmly on Liu Xiu's Qingfeng sword, but neither of them withdrew their weapons, one pressed down, and the other pushed up, and began to compete with their strength.

Suddenly, Liu Xiu felt that the pressure on the blade of the sword disappeared all of a sudden, and when he raised his eyes, the black-faced man still looked like he was grinning with his teeth, he frowned secretly, and before he could figure out what was going on, the other party's low voice came from his ear: "Ma Zizhang is dismounting!" ”

Liu Xiu's heart was shocked, and he looked at the black-faced man in disbelief, Ma Wu Ma Zizhang? He is the leader of the Green Forest Army mentioned by Xia Ruoyan?

Without waiting for Liu Xiu to answer, the black-faced man continued: "Ruoyan has already told me everything!" ”

"Then why don't you leave?" Liu Xiu was in a hurry, according to the original plan, Xia Ruoyan gave them a message, and they evacuated Zhushan in time, so that they could pounce on themselves, so that Lian Dan's tricks could not be used.

The black-faced man didn't answer Liu Xiu's question, but asked, "Where will you be stationed tonight?" ”

"If nothing happens, it will be in the county seat!"

"There is a guest inn in the northeast corner of the county, and tonight, we will meet there and discuss important matters!" After speaking, he suddenly withdrew his knife and slashed Liu Xiu's waist.

The latter erected the Qingfeng Sword to parry, and when it was long, as the nine-eared and eight-ring knife was bounced away, Liu Xiu immediately made up a sword, directly taking the chest of the black-faced man.

The black-faced man dodged sideways, but it was a little slower, and he heard the sound of sand, and the placket on his chest was opened, and the black-faced man took a few steps back, looked down, and shouted at Liu Xiu: "The surname is Liu, you give Lao Tzu and others!" After speaking, he waved his hand to the men behind him and shouted, "Withdraw!" ”

As soon as he gave the order, the two dozen or so mountain bandits rushed into the woods. Seeing this, Liu Xuan was overjoyed, waved his sword and shouted: "Chase!" ”

The rebels were about to chase into the woods, but Liu Xiu hurriedly stopped everyone and said, "No! Poor Kou Mo Chase! Has everyone forgotten the defeat of Qianyou Mountain? ”

In the battle of Qianyou Mountain, it was precisely because of the rashness that the Hanzhong army chased into the mountains and forests that it fell into the ambush of the barbarian army and almost wiped out the entire army.

Hearing Liu Xiu's words, the rebels who were originally going to chase into the mountains and forests all changed their faces suddenly, and the steps they had originally taken out were hurriedly retracted, and they retreated backwards.

Zhang Ting also didn't think it was necessary for him to hunt down and kill a few mountain bandits. He said to Liu Xuan: "Okay, since those few mountain bandits who don't have long eyes have run away, let's hurry up, it's going to be dark soon!" ”

Liu Xiu first glanced at Liu Xiu, then nodded to Zhang Ting, led the rebel army, and continued to march in the direction of the county seat.

Dark.

The ranks of the rebels and cavalry had just arrived at the county seat.

The county seat of Zhushan County is a small city, and now, this small city has become a dead city, the city is pitch black, there is no light at all, and when you enter the city, it is cold and deserted, and there is no sound, and you can't even see the shadow of a person.

And on the streets, on the walls, you can still see the dried and blackened blood. Although the corpses in the city had long since been cleaned, the air still seemed to smell of blood and rancidity.

Since entering the city, whether it is the righteous army or the cavalry of the Beijing Division, they can't help but shiver again and again. Everything in the city is too weird and terrifying, and people can't help but feel a burst of hair in their hearts.

Liu Xuan and Feng Yi found Zhang Ting and asked, "Lord Zhang, are we ...... tonight Are you staying in the city tonight? ”

Zhang Ting cleared his throat and pretended to be calm and said: "The city is very good, there is no one in the city, there are so many empty houses, you can live with us!" ”

Liu Xuan and Feng Yi glanced at each other, but neither answered.

Zhang Ting smiled and said, "Okay, we will only stay in Zhushan County for one night, and after the Green Forest Army is wiped out tomorrow, we can return to the county seat." ”

"What Lord Zhang said is extremely true!"

Living in the empty county town of Zhushan, Zhang Ting's heart was also very uncomfortable, but he couldn't show fear in front of the rebels, so he had to live here.

He said slowly: "Liu Xuan, tonight's patrol will be handed over to your rebels. ”

Liu Xuan leaned over and said, "The villain obeys!" ”

Zhang Ting nodded with satisfaction, and then he chose the largest inn in the center of the county, and the thousand cavalry under his command either followed him to live in the inn or around the inn.

As for where the rebels should live, Liu Xuan has no hard and fast rules, so let everyone live casually.

But even so, people are living near the inn, after all, the Jingshi army is here, and they are closer to the Jingshi army, and their hearts are more confident.

Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu and others chose a tavern, but unfortunately the tavern had long been emptied, and there was neither wine nor food in it.

After settling down, Liu Xiu called Liu Xiu to his front and asked in a low voice, "Ah Xiu, why did you stop us from chasing and killing those mountain bandits today?" ”

Liu Xiu looked around, leaned in front of Liu Xiu, and whispered, "Does the eldest brother know who that black-faced man is?" ”

"Aren't they mountain bandits?"

"He's Ma Wu!"

"What about him?" Liu Xuan was stunned at first, and then was taken aback, he was the leader of the Zhushan Green Forest Army, Ma Wu Ma Zizhang?

"He's here to talk to us! When I was fighting with him, he told me that tonight, I would go to the Kelai Inn in the northeast corner of the county to meet him! Liu Xiu whispered in Liu Xiu's ear.

Liu Xuan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It's really unreasonable! Didn't they already inform them and let them evacuate Zhushan quickly, why are they still here? ”

Liu Xiu was also puzzled by this, but his time for contact with Ma Wu was limited, so he couldn't ask too much. He said: "Since Ma Wu's group of people did not withdraw, I think there must be something very important that they need to stay and deal with!" ”

"What else is more important than losing your head?!" Liu Xuan shook his head again and again in dissatisfaction.

"Big brother, should we go see him tonight?" Liu Xiu asked.
