Chapter 127: Ming Xiu Plank Road

Wugu Sect Dazhai

Zhang Yu huddled in the dark prison, and could only lean on a small square window on the top to let in a little light.

Today, Zhang Yu can be regarded as understanding, he and Liu Siyi were both framed by Ning Er, who had been planning for a long time, although he didn't know what Liu Siyi's situation was now, he must have lived for a short time.

Because he knew that the place he was in was a death row of the Five Grains Sect, and the people who entered it had never gone out alive.

"It's time to eat, it's good to get on the road!"

A member of the congregation tapped the iron prison bar with a crotch knife in his hand and handed over a large bowl of white rice that he hadn't seen in many days.

"Is this a guillotine meal?"

Zhang Yu, who was already covered with mud, raised his eyes, which had long lost his lust, and asked the sect members,

"The god of law commands, give Hall Master Zhang a meal, and send you on your way!"

I don't know if I'm hungry, Zhang Yu's voice seems weak: "Where is the Liu Protector?" ”

Hearing his words, the sect member sneered and said, "The hall master still has the kung fu to take care of others?" Take care of yourself! ”

"Where is Liu Siyi!"

Zhang Yu, who was still wilting in the corner just now, didn't know where he got this momentum, and wanted to stand up strongly, and the iron chain under his body rattled, almost tearing his eyes and shouting hysterically to the sect members,

The sect members were also startled by Zhang Yu, who suddenly burst out, and pulled out the saber on his waist with a "bang", blocked in front of him, and cursed: "If you don't eat, you won't eat, damn, what are you yelling at Lao Tzu!" ”

"Hall Master Zhang is really sincere to Sister Liu."

A crisp female voice came,

When the sect leader heard the reputation, he hurriedly leaned down and knelt on the ground, "Meet the God of Ningfa!" ”

Ning Er walked over in a cyan scattered flower mopping skirt, looked at Zhang Yu through the iron fence, shook her head and sighed: "What a seed of infatuation, the same as Liu Siyi, but it's a pity that this falling flower deliberately follows the flowing water, and the flowing water has no intention of falling in love with the falling flower." ”

Zhang Yu didn't understand what Ning Er meant, so he just stared at her viciously,

"What did you do with Liu Siyi!"

Ning Er chuckled lightly and said lightly: "What do you mean by what did I do to her, she disobeyed the canons, this is what the sect leader meant." ”

Then she walked over, stared at Zhang Yu's bloodshot eyes through the iron fence, and said word by word: "Liu Siyi, you have been executed!" ”

"You talk nonsense!"

Zhang Yu couldn't believe his ears, Liu Siyi died? How can it be? How could the sect leader be ruthless enough to execute Liu Siyi?

"Is it necessary for me to lie to you, a dying man?"

Ning Er said expressionlessly,

"It's you!! It has to be you! It is impossible for the sect leader to order Liu Siyi's execution, it is you! You poisonous woman! It's you who are jealous of her! Kill her! ”

Zhang Yu looked a little crazy, Liu Siyi's death was tantamount to a bolt from the blue for him, and in his heart, the initiator of all this must be Ning Er, who has been fighting with Liu Siyi in the dark.

Ning Er looked at the roaring Zhang Yu, her face became more and more ugly, and the word "jealousy" was like a silver needle, inserted from Zhang Yu's mouth into her heart, and then as the blood vessels flowed everywhere, she was stinging all over.

"Since you like her so much! Then I'll send you down to her!" ”

Ning Er's cold face was already covered with frost, and she made a gesture to the executioner holding the big knife behind her,

The executioner behind him instructed to open the door of the prison, and then used an axe to split the chains attached to the ground under Zhang Yu's body, and one person on the left and right sides put his arms together and dragged Zhang Yu outside.

"You killed her! You'll never be able to beat her! Poisonous woman!! ”

Zhang Yu, who was covered in scars, was dragged to the ground with blood, and he still scolded Ning Er.

Ning Er's whole body trembled angrily, and the killing intent that came out wantonly all around her body, the frightened sect members who were lying on the ground didn't even dare to raise their heads,

"Kill him! Kill him!! ”

In the dark and narrow prison, Ning Er's almost mournful screams echoed.

The two executioners, in accordance with Ning'er's wishes, dragged Zhang Yu out of the underground main village and pulled down a vacant lot.

"I said, let's go outside again, lest the Dharma God see the bloodstains and say that we are unlucky."

The other executioner nodded at him, and the two of them dragged Zhang Yu and walked away into the night in the distance.

"That's it!"

As he spoke, the two of them tied Zhang Yu's hands behind their backs, and then knelt on the ground.

"Whoa! Spit! ”

The executioner spat on each hand, then tightly grasped the machete in his hand and touched the back of Zhang Yu's neck.

"Brother, don't blame me, let's have a good baby again in the next life!"

Zhang Yu looked at the deep night sky with a distraction in his eyes, as if he saw that the clouds and shadows printed with moonlight were Liu Siyi's appearance,

"Siyi, I'm here to accompany you."

He muttered to himself, then closed his eyes and waited for the executioner to swing the machete.

But

Half an hour later

found that the executioner still had no intention of making a move,

"Hurry up, give me a good time!"

Zhang Yu's urging did not respond,

He looked back sharply, and saw that the two executioners who had taken him out had long since fallen to the ground and lost their breath, and were replaced by three masked men, one who looked beautiful and should be a woman, and the other two, one thin and tall, and the other short but very strong,

"Who are you?"

Ziyun took off the mask on her face and raised her eyebrows lightly at Zhang Yu,

"What? Hall Master Zhang doesn't recognize me? ”

Day 2

A glimmer of heaven

"Don't let it!"

An Yi waved his hand at Meng Qiyi, and said angrily: "Zeng Ziren doesn't want to cross the valley, if he wants to stay in Beigukou, let him stay where he is!" I tell you, no one on the cliff will be allowed to come except our people! Answer him like that, go! ”

"Yes!"

Meng Qi, who came down from the cliff and reported to Anyi, took the order.

He received Zeng Ziren's order letter this morning, which is also a strange news, although Zeng Ziren has been demoted from the commander of the capital to the commander of the same knowledge, but he still exercises the power of the three products, directly bypassing Pei Zhenfeng and Anyi, and giving an order to a deputy general.

How dare Meng Qi agree easily, and ordered the pioneer battalion under his command to occupy this cliff, and temporarily not allow the green battalion of Long'an Mansion to go up the mountain to change defenses, and then rode his own horse and rushed to the big camp under the mountain to find comfort.

"I remember the last time I went to Huling, didn't that Fu Cheng named Xu say that Liao would come to the first line of heaven three days later, why did Zeng Ziren come over two days in advance?"

Pei Zhenfeng was very puzzled by Zeng Ziren's move,

An Yi said disdainfully: "It's not that I'm afraid that I will lock him outside the first-line heavenly canyon, first transfer the troops over, force me to set up an ambush with him in the first-line sky, and then completely annihilate the Liao army." When the time comes, the war report sent to the northwest will write how brave Zeng Ziren was, and how he inflicted heavy losses on the army of the little prince Yelu Huke, and the emperor was happy, and he was not allowed to reward him with two dates. ”

"My lord, if you just cooperate with Zeng Ziren in the first line, then do you consider transferring the pioneer battalion and part of the guard battalion back to Chengdu to assist in defense?"

Pei Zhenfeng asked An Yi before if he wanted to go back to Chengdu and drop people to come to the first line, and now he asked him if he wanted to transfer people back to Chengdu, he just felt that the troops at hand were insufficient, so the first line of heaven and Chengdu, the two places concentrated superior forces in one place to block the Liao.

But An Yi doesn't think like this, in his mind, the first line of heaven and Chengdu are the same two lines of defense, regardless of the key and non-focused, they are all to hold the attitude that must be held.

Only in this way can we ensure that the final bottom line - Chengdu is not lost!

"No, we now have about 5,000 people here on the first line, tell the soldiers that our purpose is not to cooperate with Zeng Ziren's defense, but to work with them with the idea of blocking Yelu Xiuke in the first line, so that they can suffer heavy losses when they break through the first line, otherwise, just rely on one of the first-line heavens or one of Chengdu, once they are lost, the consequences will be irreparable."

The meaning of comfort is very simple, the more tenacious the resistance of the first line of heaven, the smaller the risk of Chengdu, since the original idea of blocking the first line of heaven can no longer be realized, it is better to be like Zeng Ziren, with the purpose of annihilating the enemy in a battle, and block Yelu Xiuke here,

In this way, even if it is really broken through by the Liao, it is under the premise that the first line of heaven has paid the most stubborn resistance, and at the same time, the risk of Chengdu will be minimized accordingly.

An Yi looked at Pei Zhenfeng and Lin Muzhi in front of him,

"So, you two understand how to tell the people under you?"

"Understood!"

Pei Zhenfeng and Lin Muzhi nodded heavily.

"Your Excellency!"

Meng Qi, who had just been ordered to go, ran back to the tent of the Chinese army camp.

An Yi looked at the panting Meng Qi, thinking that Zeng Ziren had some new idea, and hurriedly asked him, "What's wrong?" Is Zeng Ziren looking for you again? ”

Meng Qi pointed to the outside of the tent,

"It's the Liao army coming!"

An Yi and Pei Zhenfeng glanced at each other, and they both read the surprise in each other's eyes,

"Let's go! Go to the cliff! ”

When Meng Qi climbed to the top of the cliff with An Yi and Pei Zhenfeng, he could already hear the neighing of horses at the mouth of the valley in the north.

They found a boulder, hid in the back, looked down the valley, and saw about three or five hundred Liao cavalry parked in front of the valley mouth, waving this tiger-headed banner and rushing towards the direction of the sky.

Zeng Ziren, who was originally in the valley mouth, must have detected this group of people and horses, so there was no trace, and there was an ambush, and the valley mouth, which was still crowded just now, suddenly quieted down, leaving only the birds on the branches, making an irritating sound in the chirping.

"That's too little, isn't it?"

An Yi looked at the people below the valley and asked suspiciously,

"It should be the forward troops, my lord, look at that flag, it should be the tiger head riding representing the Liao royal family, which means that Yelu Xiu can be in the team!"

An Yi listened to Pei Zhenfeng's words, squinted his eyes, and looked down the mountain intently, as if he didn't find anyone wearing bright armor and looking like a general except for an imperial flag.

When the galloping cavalry was running to the mouth of the valley,

Suddenly the galloping horse's hooves were reined in!

In this way, two or three hundred people stood quietly outside the valley mouth, looking at the situation in the sky.

"Found us?"

Zeng Ziren hid in the recess of the mountain, poked his head out, and was also staring at the Liao cavalry outside,

"My lord, this should be the sentry of the Liao people to explore the way!"

A Long'an Mansion general beside him answered,

Zeng Ziren looked at the cavalry that stood still, and suddenly urged the horses under his crotch, and slowly, at an extremely slow speed, began to probe into the sky.

This made him affirm the general statement beside him, and turned his head and ordered: "Go, tell everyone, this is the Liao people's exploration horse, don't be in a hurry, the big fish is still behind." ”

"Yes!"

"Oh yes! Say to the people in the south, don't spoil Lao Tzu's good deeds! ”

"Understood!"

As he spoke, the two or three hundred cavalry in front of the canyon lined up in a long snake formation and walked slowly into the sky.

This giant beast that once devoured the lives of thousands of Xia soldiers and Zeng Lao's commanders seemed to open his bloody mouth to the Liao people again!

The cavalry of the Liao army kept looking around on both sides of the steep rock wall of the canyon as they walked.

It's just that except for the dry branches and the occasional crow flying overhead, there is not a trace of Xia Jun.

"What do these people mean? Lie to us or to yourself? Even if we hid all our soldiers and gave them the illusion that there was no one at the skil, I don't believe that Jeruxiu might be willing to come in with confidence? ”

An Yi was very puzzled by the behavior of the Liao army's sentry horse,

A place like a first-line sky, it is clear that it is used to set up an ambush, and the old commander also thought that he was ahead of the Wugu Sect, so he ordered the first-line sky.

Now that the Xia army is obviously ahead of the Liao, even Zeng Ziren knows that he has to fortify on the first line, and this Yelu Xiuke still sent someone to explore the valley mouth, does it make sense? Xia Jun is now a relative of him Yelu Xiuke, and it is impossible for him to swagger through the valley.

Could it be ........

Did Jeruxiu have ulterior motives?

"My lord! Look! ”

Meng Qi beside him suddenly widened his eyes and pointed into the distance,

An Yi looked in the direction he pointed, and saw the figures in the distance, thousands of horses galloping, and the rumbling horses' hooves wrapped in yellow sand, like a storm sweeping in the sky, blowing in the direction of a line of sky!

"Prepare for war!!"
