Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Masked Man
In the camp of the Dongshan Forbidden Army, Wang Lun held the information that had just come from Dong Liang and said to Shi Luosheng: "General, Dong Liang said that two days ago, a person came to his barracks and asked him to withdraw from the army in a very tough tone, and also asked him not to fight with An Zhihai again in the past few months. An Zhihai seems to have received the same warning, and he is considering whether to retreat to Zuoxi. ”
Shi Luosheng said: "Needless to say, this person must be from Zhang Mancheng's faction, he asked both sides to quit the troops and return to the camp to hold on, just to spend the last few months with me." But what he didn't expect was that Dong Liang had already surrendered to us. This is a good opportunity, we will pull out the camp tomorrow and march in the direction of Xiaqiu, you tell Dong Liang to let him delay in place for two days, and after two days we will release the news that we are going to attack Xiaqiu, and then pretend to retreat after receiving the news. At that time, An Zhihai will also know that we are going to fight Xiaqiu, and he will definitely take the opportunity to pursue Dong Liang in order to take revenge, and then we will attack An Zhihai with Dong Liang. In addition, Yuqing, you will set off tonight with 8,000 people, rush to the vicinity of Zuoxi as soon as possible to ambush, and wait until An Zhihai returns from defeat, and then come out to cut off his retreat. ”
Wang Lun praised: "Wonderful, in this way, An Zhihai can't go back to Zuoxi, he can clean him up outside, as long as he dies, Zuoxi can't hold it even if it is strong, and the task of suppressing bandits is over, all that remains is to find a way to open a breakthrough in Li Ming and take down Zhang Mancheng." ”
Liu Zixuan said hurriedly after listening: "Wait, I've listened to you two for a long time, and I haven't had anything to do from beginning to end, so what should I do?" ”
Shi Luosheng said with a smile: "Your task is the heaviest, what you have to deal with is Zhang Mancheng, Li Ming is now in our hands, Zhang Mancheng will definitely not feel at ease, he will definitely send someone to rescue Li Ming, if he can't save him, he will find a way to kill him." We are here, you have the highest martial arts, if this task is not handed over to you, will it be handed over to Mr. Wang? ”
Liu Zixuan scratched his head and said happily: "Okay, it seems that I can only do this job, and An Zhihai is lucky, and this kid Yuqing is cheap." ”
Everyone laughed, and Shi Luosheng continued: "Mr. Guo is still in Jeju City, and although the bandits are about to be pacified, his team leader system will continue to be implemented to prevent new mountain bandits from popping up again in the future." In addition, it is convenient for him to monitor Zhang Mancheng in Jeju, once he finds out that he has any changes, Mr. Guo will send someone to tell you, after we leave, you will contact Mr. Guo more in everything. ”
That night, Xun Yu counted all the people and horses and rushed to the direction of Zuoxi first. The next day, Shi Luosheng left Liu Zixuan with 500 people to garrison the camp, and he and Wang Lun went to Xiaqiu with the rest of the troops.
On the night when Shi Luosheng and they left, Yin Ruoyang, the master of the Seven Peerless Sects, quietly infiltrated the Dongshan camp with his two disciples at the invitation of Zhang Mancheng.
Because of the perennial war, the Great Song Dynasty often needed the help of masters in the rivers and lakes, such as assassination, escort, and intelligence detection, so it adopted a policy of wooing the forces in the rivers and lakes within the territory. The various sects were also willing to serve the Great Song Kingdom, on the one hand, it was beneficial to the reputation of their own sects, and on the other hand, the Great Song Dynasty did not treat them badly, and the remuneration paid each time was very generous. So when Zhang Mancheng sent someone to ask for help from the Seven Peerless Gates, Yin Ruoyang also readily agreed. Although the status of the Seven Peerless Sects in the Great Song Dynasty is not as good as that of the Heavenly Sword Gate, it is also the number one gate sect that can be ranked, and the master of the gate, Yin Ruoyang, is a master who can enter the top ten in the Great Song Dynasty.
"Master, Li Ming is under house arrest in the camp in the middle, and there is a team of Song soldiers guarding the door. According to Zhang Taishou, there are no other masters in the entire camp except for Liu Zixuan. "One of the disciples was reporting to Yin Ruoyang about the situation in the camp.
Yin Ruoyang said: "Okay, I'll go and lead the Song soldiers outside the door later, Yue Yun and Yue Lei, you two take the opportunity to kill in, Liu Zixuan will be dealt with by me, if you can take Li Ming away, take him away, and kill him if you can't." ”
The three of them slowly approached the camp, and Yin Ruoyang jumped out first and killed towards the camp. "It's not good, someone assassinated, protect Li Ming." Song Bing outside the door found Yin Ruoyang and shouted loudly.
Yin Ruoyang held a sword in his hand and slashed into the crowd, rushing left and right. The surrounding Song soldiers were also attracted by him, and Yue Yun and Yue Lei, who were hiding in the shadows, sneaked into the camp tent from the other direction.
"Oh no, there are assassins here, come quickly." A Song soldier in the camp shouted as he drew his sword and rushed towards the two.
Yue Yun casually stabbed Song Bing in the throat with a sword, picked up the weapon he dropped with his foot and kicked it at Li Ming, shouting in his mouth: "Master Li Zhai, come with us." ”
Li Ming grabbed the weapon and asked, "You were sent by Zhang Taishou?" ”
Yue Yun nodded and said, "Yes, let's kill it first." ”
In an instant, there were more and more soldiers surrounding him, and Liu Zixuan also rushed when he heard the news, and saw that the two black-clothed men were escorting Li Ming to break through, and he was furious in his heart.
Yin Ruoyang saw Liu Zixuan approaching, and also performed light skills, jumped over the heads of Song Bing, and blocked Liu Zixuan with a sword.
Liu Zixuan knew at a glance that this person's martial arts were not weak and difficult to deal with. So he asked the soldiers around him to intercept Li Ming first, and stayed to deal with Yin Ruoyang. Yin Ruoyang didn't say anything, he stabbed with his sword, and Liu Zixuan also took out a long knife and slashed it. Liu Zixuan was anxious to solve Yin Ruoyang so that he could intercept Li Ming, and Yin Ruoyang also wanted to fight quickly, worried that he would be surrounded by Song soldiers and unable to drag himself after a long delay.
Between a few breaths, the two have already exchanged more than a dozen moves, Liu Zixuan is more and more shocked, where did such a powerful character come from, and if he comes to more than a dozen rounds, he must lose. Fortunately, a group of Song soldiers came behind to help Liu Zixuan attack Yin Ruoyang together.
Yin Ruoyang on the other side was even more surprised in his heart, this kid looks less than twenty years old, and he can actually pick me up in more than a dozen tricks without showing his face, so he can't fight like this. There are more and more people coming over from the Song army, and it will be difficult to get out later.
Yin Ruoyang shook Liu Zixuan's long knife with a move of the Seven Absolute Sword, his body retreated, jumped out of the battle circle, and said: "Martial arts at a young age are extraordinary, but I don't have time to entangle with you today, and there will be a period later." After speaking, he performed light skills, jumped out of the crowd, and chased in the direction of Yue Yun and Yue Lei.
Liu Zixuan didn't dare to let Li Ming go, and shouted loudly: "Chase." ”
Yue Yun, Yue Lei, and Li Ming in front had already reached the gate of the camp, and after passing the dozen or so people in front, they would be unimpeded.
Yue Yun said to Yue Lei: "You take Master Li Zhai first, and I will answer Master at the door." ”
Yue Lei nodded, and continued to rush out with Li Ming. After the two of them worked together to kill several more people, they finally broke out of the camp.
The two were overjoyed and were about to leave along the way down the mountain. At this time, a sneer came from his ear, and then a voice sounded: "Where do you two want to go?" ”
A masked man appeared on the mountain road that was empty just now, and the masked man looked at them coldly. Yue Lei didn't have the time to take care of him, he stabbed with his sword, and shouted in his mouth: "Get out of my way." Li Ming also followed closely behind Yue Lei and rushed down the mountain.
The masked man's right hand shook, wrapped Yue Lei's long sword with his sleeve, and as soon as the internal force spit out, he heard a few clicks and cracks, Yue Lei's long sword had been twisted into a few knots, and the masked man did not stop, and when Yue Lei was still shocked by the masked man's internal force, a palm had already slapped his chest.
Yue Lei only felt that he had endured the power of Wan Jun, and his body flew out more than ten meters away like a kite with a broken string, and after falling to the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted out and died on the spot. When Li Ming saw this scene, he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran back, and was caught by the Song soldiers who caught up behind.
Yue Yun saw Yue Lei escape from the cottage with Li Ming from a distance, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, and just waited for Yin Ruoyang to come out and go down the mountain together. Who knew that the wind and clouds had changed abruptly, and in an instant, Li Ming was captured, Yue Lei was killed, and Yue Yun was completely stunned.
The masked man walked in the direction of Yue Yun again, and Song Bing also stopped and surrounded Yue Yun. The masked man asked, "Did you kill yourself or did I send you on your way?" Or say where you come from, and I'll let you live. ”
Yue Yun witnessed Yue Lei's tragic situation just now, and knew that he was far from being the opponent of the other party, although he was afraid in his heart, he was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and raised his long sword and said: "Although the younger generation knows that his martial arts are far inferior to his predecessors, but his younger brother has been killed by his predecessors, and the younger generation does not dare to hope that he can avenge his younger brother, he just wants to die at the hands of his predecessors like his younger brother, so as not to be lonely on Huangquan Road." ”
The masked man exclaimed, "Good man, if I hadn't killed your brother just now, I might have let you both go away now." However, since you have made a feud, there is naturally no reason to let go of the enemy, so I will give you a ride. ”
After speaking, the masked figure moved, and he also slapped towards Yue Yun. Before the fight, Yue Yun had already thought of more than a dozen ways to deal with it, but when he really fought, the masked man seemed to be a bland palm, but he felt that there was no way to avoid it, it seemed that no matter how he dodged, he was shrouded by the other party's palm power, just between this hesitation, the masked man's palm had already arrived in front of him, Yue Yun had no choice but to throw away the long sword in his hand, and his palms went up, bang, as if a blue light flashed, Yue Yun felt that his whole body was in an ice cellar, and a cold air spread all over his body from his palm, His limbs were frozen in an instant, and a thin layer of frost appeared on his lips. Yue Yun curled up and fell to the ground, holding his legs with both hands, his body shuddering incessantly, and he gradually lost consciousness.
"Yun'er, what's wrong with you?" A figure jumped in and hugged Yue Yun, this person was Yin Ruoyang. After Yin Ruoyang got rid of Liu Zixuan, he rushed to the direction of the Zhaimen, and just happened to see the scene just now.
At this time, Yue Yun was already angry and speechless. Yin Ruoyang was furious when he saw such a tragic situation in his beloved disciple, put down Yue Yun, and said to the masked man: "I also want to face your Excellency and see your extraordinary palm power." ”
The masked man said lightly, "Please." ”
Yin Ruoyang saw the masked man behaving like this, and he was even more furious in his heart, and he used his ten success forces to slap the masked man.
The masked man frowned slightly, and he also greeted it with a single palm, and with a bang, unlike just now, this time a red light flashed, Yin Ruoyang was shocked back three steps by a palm, and his palm was red, as if he had been burned. The masked man just shook his upper body and stood still.
