Chapter 4 Yang Baihua

On the plains of a horse and a flat river, the noisy and rapid sound of horses' hooves resounded in the sky.

Hui Ze desperately grabbed the reins, leaned on the horse's back, and clamped his legs around the horse's belly, hoping to maintain his balance and not be tossed down by the galloping horse.

Xu Jin rode steadily on the back of the black thunder, kept stretching his bow and arrows, and turned around to shoot at the people who were chasing after him.

Arrows kept falling from their horses, but this did not stop the pursuers from making determination, and they continued to ride their horses frantically without slowing down in the slightest.

Xu Jin didn't have many arrows, and at first he shot two arrows in a row at the leading white rakshasa, but they were easily pushed away by the halberd in his hand, and when he saw that it didn't work, Xu Jin concentrated on shooting those minions who followed. After more than ten arrows were shot, at least seven or eight minions became the souls of Xu Jin's arrows. But Xu Jin was also secretly glad that this group of pursuers did not bring bows and arrows, otherwise if they released arrows together, he and Hui Ze would have to fall off their horses if they were not shot to death.

The two panicked, just let the horses run wild, and although the pursuers behind suffered a lot of losses, they still chased after them. Before you know it, the horse is galloping onto an avenue and galloping along the road.

At the end of the road, a car hurriedly approached under the escort of more than ten horsemen.

Xu Jin tightened the reins and controlled the black thunder to pass quickly next to the car. But in the face of this sudden situation, Hui Ze obviously panicked, and the horse lost control and rushed straight towards the car.

Megumin screamed in fright, completely unsure of what to do.

Suddenly, a ride flashed out next to the car and rushed towards Hui Ze. At the moment when the two horses staggered, the man on the horse took off sideways, jumped behind Hui Ze with agility, and pulled the reins in Hui Ze's hand with both hands, seizing control of the horse.

The horse finally slowed down, and at last the man in front of the car stood up, neighed, and came to a steady stop.

Xu Jin hurriedly jumped off the horse, and went over to help Hui Ze, whose legs trembled and sweated profusely.

The person who helped Hui Ze stop the horse also jumped off the horse, smiled at the frightened Hui Ze and said, "Little monk, you can't ride a horse like this, it's too dangerous." ”

The frightened Megumi wiped the beads of sweat from his head with his sleeve and apologized vaguely.

Xu Jin looked at the person in front of him, this person was tall and well-proportioned, magnificent, quite the temperament of a military person, more than thirty years old, handsome appearance, although the clothes were not gorgeous, but clean and tidy, the hair was neatly tied in the crown, and the well-trimmed beard set off a toughness.

Xu Jin thanked him, "Thank you brother Tai for your help, the two of us are in a hurry, so let's leave it at that." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horses' hooves was heard along the road. The White Rakshasa took the lead, "Boy, look where you are fleeing!" In the blink of an eye, the group of pursuers surrounded them.

"So many people are chasing these two, I don't know why?" The man stepped forward and asked.

"It's none of your business, stay away." The White Rakshasa spoke in a very arrogant tone.

"These two little brothers don't seem to be wicked, and one of them is still a monk, so since I have met him, I naturally want to ask for clarification. If they have committed a crime, I will help you to arrest them; If not, I wouldn't be able to let innocent people suffer in vain. ”

The face of the White Rakshasa was full of unhappiness, "What's the matter today, I met some nosy guys......"

As he was muttering, there was a rumbling sound behind him, and about thirty riders rushed towards him with billowing smoke and dust. It was the reinforcements from the White Rakshasa Mansion, and they quickly gathered around their master.

The leader was over fifty years old, wearing armor and no helmet, a white headband with gray hair tied back at the back of his head, an equally gray beard as thick and messy as weeds, and shocking scars on his cheeks, nose, and forehead, one could not help but wonder what kind of past he had experienced.

The man drove his horse to the White Rakshasa and bowed, "Young master, the old servant has come to help." ”

The white rakshasa was unusual, not only returned the salute, but also spoke in a rather deferential tone, "It's just a trivial matter, how dare you bother Master Hua to go out in person." ”

"I heard the news come back that I met a ruthless person. Protecting the safety of the young master is the duty of the old servant, how dare he not hurry up. ”

After speaking, this Master Hua turned around and glanced at Xu Jin and his party with sharp eyes, "Who dares to rush into my young master of the Su Gu family, and quickly come out and die!" ”

Xu Jin was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by the person who helped Hui Ze stop the horse.

The man saluted to Master Hua, who was sitting on the horse, "I have already said just now, so many people are chasing two young people, there must be a reason, since I have met him, I must ask the reason clearly." ”

"These two boys, kill my men." The White Rakshasa replied impatiently.

"Then why didn't you say why we killed your men?" Hui Ze couldn't hide the anger in his heart, and asked loudly.

"It seems that things are really not that simple," the man turned back to Hui Ze and said, "The little monk is okay to say, there is justice in the merits." ”

Hui Ze concisely told what happened.

After hearing this, the man glared at the master Hua and said coldly, "It seems that you, the young master, are not a good person." ”

Master Hua's face was expressionless, and he asked lightly, "Young master, is there such a thing?" ”

"That's right, that's what happened." White Rakshasa readily admitted, still looking cynical, "But these two boys are good, I haven't had such fun for a long time." ”

"Now that I've figured out what's going on, I'm afraid I'm going to spoil you. If you are interested, turn around and leave, or ......" As soon as the man's voice fell, more than a dozen horsemen from behind him dismounted and surrounded him, all with gloomy faces and cold eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, although the number of people on the White Rakshasa side was absolutely superior, but the more than ten people on the other side were all exuding a murderous aura that penetrated the bones, and they were standing neatly, obviously carefully trained.

Master Hua dismounted unhurriedly, took a few steps forward, and arched his hand, "Your Excellency looks like a person in the army." Old man Huashun, dare to ask Your Excellency's name? ”

"Under Yang Baihua. You are an elder, and I hope to distinguish between right and wrong, and take your young master away, so as not to use swords and soldiers and hurt your life in vain. ”

Hearing the name Yang Baihua, a look of surprise flashed in Hua Shun's eyes. He took another step forward and arched his hand again, "The old man is presumptuous, dare to ask Lord Lingzun's name?" ”

Yang Baihua looked at Hua Shun in surprise, thought about it for a while, and still gave an answer, "Father Yang has big eyes......

As soon as the words came out, except for Hui Ze, everyone gasped, even Xu Jin, who was on the border of the Northland, was also thunderous about this name.

Hui Ze asked in an ignorant whisper in Xu Jin's ear, "Who is Yang Dayan?" ”

Xu Jin looked at Hui Ze with incredible eyes, "You don't know? That's a famous general of the Great Wei generation, a legend! ”

"It's really Yang Gongzi!" Hua Shun's tone was excited, and he couldn't help but take two steps towards Yang Baihua, but then he felt that he was a little out of shape, and he hurriedly stood up and bowed, "The old man doesn't know the old man, but the old man was in General Yang's army back then, but he often heard the general mention the son." ”

"Oh! General Hua is the deceased of his father? ”

"Father?" Hua Shun asked in surprise.

Yang Baihua nodded, "My father died of illness last year. ”

"The general is only two or three years older than me, and I can't imagine that he has passed away......," Hua Shun sighed.

"General Hua was in my father's army back then?"

"Back then, the old man was the vanguard of General Yang's command, and followed the general to fight in the south and north. In the first battle of Zhongli, the general personally led us to attack Wei Rui's old man's car formation, but was injured by arrows, I desperately protected the general, and finally picked up my life. After the war, the general was assigned to Yingzhou as a pawn, and I was disheartened, so I left the army and returned to my hometown. After fighting all my life, I have nothing else to do, but fortunately I was appreciated by the master of the bones, treated me like a guest, and asked me to teach the young master a gun stick, so that my family can eat a full meal. ”

The White Rakshasa also came over at this time, "Wow! Master Hua, I didn't expect you to have such a big background. ”

"It's just a thing of the past." Hua Shun turned to the white rakshasa, "Today's matter, the young master is indeed inappropriate, can you see in the face of the old servant, just let go of those two descendants." ”

"No way!" The White Rakshasa had a resolute attitude, "It's rare to have such fun, how can you let them two go so easily!" ”

"For the sake of your own happiness, can you take people's lives?" Yang Baihua said indignantly, "Sooner or later, the country of my Great Wei will be bad in the hands of you people who do whatever you want!" ”

"Ah, yes!" The white rakshasa came up to Yang Baihua and looked up and down, "You are the son of Yang Dayan, you must be very good, right?" Why don't we learn from each other, and if you win, I'll spare those two boys." ”

"Young master, don't ......" Hua Shun was about to stop it, but the white rakshasa simply interrupted him, "Master Hua! After so many years of training with you, I also want to know how far I have come. Those two boys are also skilled, but I think I can still fight. Now that I have the opportunity to compete with the descendants of General Yang Dayan, I will not let go of this opportunity! ”

"That's fine." Yang Baihua said, "If you can solve it single-handedly and avoid hurting the innocent, you are willing to fight." ”

"This is absolutely not going to work!" Xu Jin hurriedly interjected, "This matter started because of the two of us, how can you drag you in." ”

Yang Baihua waved his hand and said with a smile, "In today's situation, how can I stay out of the situation." Little brother, don't worry too much, I'll take care of it. ”

The two men each armed themselves and came to a clearing on the side of the road.

Yang Baihua slashed the big knife in his hand and said loudly, "You are a wicked young man who is not evil, you must teach a good lesson today!" ”

"If you want to teach me a lesson, it depends on whether you have that ability!" The white rakshasa raised his halberd and killed him with his head and face.

The weapons collided and entangled together, and the figures of the two of them tossed and turned in the overflowing sword light. The white rakshasa's halberd continued to attack from all directions like a hydra, and Yang Baihua's whirring broadsword cut through these assaults one by one, and constantly took advantage of the situation to slash to the gap, forcing the white rakshasa to return to the halberd to block.

Gradually, the rhythm of the originally aggressive White Rakshasa began to be disordered, but Yang Baihua completely grasped the initiative, and the big knife in his hand continued to slash and hit like a storm, not giving the opponent any breathing space.

The White Rakshasa was in a hurry, tired of coping, and the beautiful satin clothes were constantly licked by the opponent's blades, and several hair ends were cut off, and he could be killed by the opponent at any time.

Feeling that he was about to be unable to support it, the White Rakshasa tried his best to open the broadsword, and took the opportunity to quickly retreat a few steps and get out of the range of the fight.

Yang Baihua received the big knife behind him, "What?" Are you going to throw in the towel? ”

"You haven't won me yet!" The White Rakshasa gasped, "This long weapon is not conducive to foot combat, do you dare to fight me with a sword?" ”

"Young master, don't be reckless!" Hua Shun shouted anxiously.

The white rakshasa turned a deaf ear, hooked his fingers, and a minion ran over and handed over the long knife. The white rakshasa licked the blade, swung it vigorously to both sides of his body a few times, and put on a stance, "Come again!" ”

"Okay, today I want you to lose your heart!" Yang Baihua also turned around and changed into a long knife, with a flick of his wrist, the blade pointed directly at the opponent, "Come on!" ”

The two of them slowly approached with their knives, and when they came to the range of the blades, the two knives slashed out at the same time, and the blades struck each other, bursting out with sparks. A crisp crash sounded, continuous and compact like a drumbeat.

The White Rakshasa tried his best to control the long knife in his hand without reservation, trying to break through the opponent's defenses and hit the vital point. Between this fierce and high-speed attack and defense, Yang Baihua was obviously still at ease, and every blow of the White Rakshasa was just a waste of strength, and he could not cause any damage to the opponent at all.

The white rakshasa's powdered face was already mottled and dirty with sweat, and the hair sticking to his cheeks and forehead made him look a little embarrassed. He felt that he was completely being played by the other party, and the strong sense of humiliation that he had never felt crawled all over his body, the surging qi and blood made his eyes red, and the whole person turned into a violent angry beast, leaving only the most primitive desire to kill, and the knife in his hand waved more quickly and frantically, eager to immediately dismantle the other party.

In the face of such a fierce attack, Yang Baihua still seemed to be in order. The movements of the White Rakshasa are getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more flaws.

With a crisp sound, the blade of the knife dancing wildly in the hand of the white rakshasa was struck by Yang Baihua neatly, and the hand holding the knife was uncontrollably pulled to the ground by a strong force, and the tip of the knife pierced into the soil under his feet. Yang Baihua rotated the blade and flicked it upward, and the tip of the knife flashed with cold light and went straight to the door of the white rakshasa.

If you want to collect your knife and come back to block, it's too late! In a hurry, the white rakshasa reflexively let go of the handle of the knife in his hand, leaned back in a hurry, and quickly retracted his arm to his chest.

The trail of the tip of the knife was soaked in blood, drawing a crimson arc in the air. A terrible scream erupted from the mouth of the White Rakshasa, and although he barely escaped the fatal blow, a deep wound on the forearm of his right hand was cracked from the elbow to the back of the hand, and the blood gushed out like the water of the decisive lift, and instantly stained half of the clothes.

Yang Baihua did not pursue further, because Huashun was already separated between the two.

The minions swarmed up, shielding the White Rakshasa and quickly wrapping his injured forearm.

"The victory and defeat have been decided, and I hope that Yang Gongzi's subordinates will show mercy and not hurt the life of the young master." Hua Shun bowed deeply and pleaded with Yang Baihua.

"I had no intention of taking his life, but this evil is so little, it is really hateful! Acting recklessly and harming the people, isn't it caused by people like them that the current turbulent situation of my Great Wei? Yang Baihua's tone was full of grief and indignation, "Today can also be regarded as a lesson for him, I hope he can reflect on it." ”

"Introspection?" With the support of the minions, the white rakshasa shrugged his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Defeated in your hands, my skills are not as good as others." But you hurt me, do you still want to leave alive? No matter what your origins are, you will definitely wait to kill a chicken and dog today! ”

"It seems that it is impossible to expect people like you to wake up, and today I will abolish your hands and feet, and see how you will do evil in the future!" Yang Baihua was furious and stepped forward with a knife.

"Childe!" Hua Shun, who was standing between the two, shouted, "The young master is young and vigorous, the old man must ask the lord to discipline him strictly when he goes back, and I hope that the son will look at the old man's thin face, raise his noble hand, and spare the young master." After saying that, he knelt on one knee and bowed his hands to pray.

Seeing this, Yang Baihua hurriedly went over to help, "General Hua is the deceased of his father, how dare he accept this great gift, get up, get up." ”

The White Rakshasa shouted from behind, "Master Hua! Why are you so low, we are so powerful, and with your skills, it is not a problem to cut them all down. Everyone listens, a head will be rewarded with ten times, and the head surnamed Yang will be rewarded with one hundred times! ”

As soon as these words came out, the dozens of minions under the White Rakshasa flocked to Hua Shun's back, all drawing knives and holding guns, their eyes greedy.

The dozen or so strong men under Yang Baihua also stood behind their masters almost at the same time, murderous.

Hua Shun anxiously turned to the White Rakshasa, "Young Master, don't make another incident!" If you lose the gamble and your arm is injured again, hurry back to heal your wounds, so stop there! ”

"Master Hua, look at me, I have shed so much blood!" The White Rakshasa roared in a trembling voice, "Dare to hurt my hand like this, it will kill me!" If I don't kill them, it will be hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart! Master Hua, I hope you will win this hundred, and only you can take it! ”

Hui Ze, who had been standing still, said to himself in a daze, "Things seem to be getting more and more serious." ”

"Stupid!" Xu Jin, who reacted, grabbed Hui Ze's wrist, "This matter started because of us, why are we staying out of the matter now!" He dragged Huize and ran briskly towards the center of the conflict.

Rushing to Yang Baihua, Xu Jin bowed respectfully, "Today's events are all because of the two of us, Brother Yang is already grateful for saving him, and he doesn't dare to let you be implicated again." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to the white rakshasa side, and said loudly, "There is a debtor and a debtor, what you want is nothing more than the lives of the two of us, if you have the ability, you can take it, it's a big deal, see how many people will bury the two of us!" ”

Hui Ze clasped his hands together, put his iron rod across the crook of his arm, and whispered, "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and the little monk will surpass you thieves with his life today!" ”

Looking at the two of them with a resolute attitude, Yang Baihua just wanted to speak, but Hua Shun opened his mouth first, "The two little brothers dare to act boldly, and the old man admires them." But at this point, we have to think about it. Saying that, Hua Shun stomped a few steps forward, "If the two sides start a scuffle, they will inevitably lose both, and I don't know how many lives will be killed." The old man is even more dilemma, if he swords against the son of the deceased master, it is unjust; But if you don't obey the order of the young master, you will be disloyal......"

"I've shed enough blood today," Hua Shun slowly pulled out the saber at his waist, "The old man is willing to destroy himself, so as to end today's grievances and stop killing." ”

After speaking, in a burst of exclamations, Hua Shun's knife tip pierced into his left eye without hesitation, blood gushed like a spring, and his gray beard was suddenly dyed a conspicuous red.

The first to react was actually the white rakshasa, he howled and opened the crowd, completely ignoring the pain in his arm, threw himself in front of Hua Shun, and asked loudly, "Master Hua, what are you doing here?" ”

Hua Shun endured the severe pain, and tried to squeeze out a smile at the white rakshasa, "Young Master of the bones, if you rely on your temperament again, the two sides will fight, I don't know how many lives will be taken, and even the safety of the young master cannot be guaranteed, if I can use one eye, avoid a fight, and save these lives, it's worth it!" ”

"This is your wishful thinking, what if the other party doesn't agree?"

"After Yang Gongzi is a famous general, the old man believes that he can understand my hard work." As he spoke, Hua Shun looked at Yang Baihua.

Yang Baihua saluted deeply, "General Hua's heroism is admired by the younger generations." If the conflict can be calmed down and no more indiscriminate killings can be stopped, the general's move is a great righteousness, please accept Bai Hua's worship! ”

"Yang Gongzi understands the righteousness, and in this case, it will end today." Hua Shun bowed slightly and returned the salute.

"Master Hua, it's not worth it, how can these lives be worth one of your eyes!" The White Rakshasa still refuses to give up.

"Human life is not a mustard, and the young master must not be taken lightly. The old man is fortunate to be able to teach the young master, and he has been teaching the young master for more than ten years. The young master has been fighting fiercely, unrestrained, today's matter, I hope that the young master can take this as a warning and mature as soon as possible, so that he can bear the expectations of the lord, serve the Great Wei, and shine on the lintel! ”

"Don't say it, Master Hua, don't say it......" I don't know if the wound is too painful, but the white rakshasa actually has a little tear in his eyes. He turned around and yelled at the minions, "Fool, why don't you take Master Hua back to heal your wounds!" ”

The minions helped Huashun onto the horse and hurriedly prepared to leave.

Before leaving, the white rakshasa turned the horse's head and tried to say in a calm tone, "Today's events will be unforgettable for a lifetime, I just hope to meet again...... leaving a meaningful smirk, and then walked away.

Watching the White Rakshasa and his party gradually move away, Xu Jin and Hui Ze couldn't help but breathe a deep sigh of relief.

The two bowed deeply to Yang Baihua and thanked him.

"Thanks to Brother Yang's help today, we were able to escape. I really don't know how to repay the great kindness. Xu Jin said gratefully.

"When the road is uneven, it's just a matter of drawing a knife to help." Yang Baihua said with a smile, "It's really rare for the two little brothers to have a righteous heart, how can I watch you being harmed by those wicked people." ”

"It's all to blame the little monk for being impulsive, causing trouble, and involving you in danger, it's really ashamed." Hui Ze lowered his head, his heart full of self-blame.

"What does the little monk say, when such a thing happens, no one with a conscience will stand idly by." Yang Baihua comforted Hui Ze, "What I hate most in my life is these wicked people who rely on power, do whatever they want, and oppress the good, and make the great country that my Great Wei soldiers fought with their blood into such a miasma as it is now, which makes people feel heartbroken." It's a pleasure to have the opportunity to teach this bastard a lesson today! ”

"By the way, Brother Yang, seeing that you are in a hurry, where are you going?"

Yang Baihua looked at Xu Jin, who was asking, and a melancholy color flashed in his eyes, "I can't hide it, I'm taking my family and preparing to go to Nanliang." ”

"Nanliang?" Xu Jin's eyes shone with joy, "Little brother, I also want to go to Nanliang, if Brother Yang doesn't dislike it, let's go together?" ”

"Of course, if the two little brothers go together, it will be a lot more interesting along the way." Yang Baihua readily agreed.

"Hui Ze, let's go together!" Xu Jin happily pulled Hui Ze's sleeve, "Anyway, you don't have a destination, so let's just go to Nanliang together to see and see!" ”

Hui Ze looked at Xu Jin's eyes and said seriously, "Jin, after these two days, we are friends of life and death, you are a good person, and the little monk is willing to go down with you!" ”

"That's right! Friends of life and death, from now on, we are brothers, and we must be together wherever we go! Xu Jin put his arm around Hui Ze's shoulders and let out a hearty laugh.
