Lian Dayi was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, and burst into tears: "Your Highness spares your life, Your Highness spares your life, it was my eldest brother Lian Dayong who sent people to hunt down His Highness that day, and it has nothing to do with the villain!" I saw that the lower end of his snot had touched the ground, but the upper end was still hanging on his nose, and it was stretched into an old one with the movement of raising his head, which was very disgusting.

Yuan Rui's face showed disdain: "Yang Lan's shopkeeper's family is ruined, does this matter have nothing to do with you?" ”

Lian Dayi: "Yang Lan, she is a grass ......"

Yuan Rui: "She is a friend of this king!" ”

These words were so loud that he was so frightened that even Dayi didn't dare to quibble, but kept repeating the words "His Highness spares his life".

Yuan Rui groaned: "This king and Yang Lan's shopkeeper are friends of cloth, then this king will use the way of the rivers and lakes to seek justice for her, you and I have a one-knife duel, if you can beat this king in one and a half moves, then this king will let you live?" Yan Yan said to Ji Dan beside him, "I will borrow your saber and use it." ”

Geng Tong's face changed greatly when he heard this: "Your Highness! Never! ”

Shangguan Qian stretched out his hand to stop Geng Tong: "Don't panic, old general, if you are here, Your Highness will be fine." He knew that after his guidance during this period of time, Yuan Rui was no longer what he used to be, although he was not yet a master, but it was enough to deal with Lian Dayi. A hundred days of practice is not as good as a real battle, and with the skill of righteousness, it is very suitable to use it for Yuan Rui's practice at this moment. But having said that, Shangguan Qian's right hand still felt that he felt a dart, holding it in the palm of his hand and preparing to fire.

Yuan Rui threw Ji Dan's saber in front of Lian Dayi: "Come on!" ”

Even Dayi said with a crying voice: "The villain doesn't dare!" The villain doesn't dare! ”

Yuan Rui had seen his flying and domineering appearance in Yang Lan's calligraphy and painting shop, so he naturally would not sympathize with him: "If you don't want to make a move, then the king will attack first." ”

Suddenly, Lian Dayi turned over and picked up the saber, and rushed towards Yuan Rui, worthy of being a scoundrel in the market, and the speed of changing his face was amazing.

Yuan Rui's face sank in an instant, his knees bent slightly, he flipped the scabbard so that the blade side was facing forward, his right hand grasped the handle of the knife, his left thumb lightly touched the blade, he looked four or five feet ahead, held his breath and condensed, and the hustle and bustle seemed to return to silence in an instant, and there was only the sound of Lian Dayi's heavy steps landing in his ears.

"Six steps, five steps, four steps...... Yuan Rui silently counted in his heart, "Three, two, one!" The two of them were staggered, and Yuan Rui drew his knife like lightning, and used the explosive power of this moment to swing his knife and slash at Lian Dayi.

The body separated, and Lian Dayi knelt on his knees again, fell forward, and died with a whimper. Yuan Rui tilted the tip of the knife, and the blood of righteousness on the knife was put into the sheath. All the movements are as smooth as flowing in one go, chic and neat. The victory and defeat have been decided, and thunderous cheers sounded behind him.

Just when everyone was impressed by Yuan Rui's handsomeness and extraordinary, he suddenly changed his face, squeezed his eyebrows at Shangguan Qian, and said, "Senior, how is it?" ”

Shangguan Qian nodded with a smile and secretly hid the dart back in his sleeve.

Geng Tong was still shocked, and complained: "Your Highness really doesn't let the old man be at peace for a moment!" In case His Royal Highness made a mistake just now, how can the old man explain to His Majesty? ”

Yuan Rui pretended to be profound: "There are still a few days before New Year's Day, and the old general may not be at peace before that." ”

Geng Tong smiled bitterly and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, what else do you want to toss?" ”

Yuan Rui didn't answer and asked: "Does the old general want to celebrate the festival in Shanggu County?" Or Plains County? Or go directly to Zhuda's nest snake Teng? ”

Geng Tong: "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

Yuan Rui: "Zhu Da was captured, Yanzhou and the rebels of Sheteng were leaderless for a while, as the so-called enemy is strong, use wisdom, and the enemy is weak, don't you want to take advantage of this opportunity to recover more lost territory?" ”

Geng Tong was suddenly aroused: "It's best to kill Yu Li, while playing with Yu Chenglie's head, while drinking, that's called happiness!" ”

Yuan Rui disagreed: "In this case, the old general is happy, but this king is not necessarily happy." ”

Geng Tong looked dazed.

Yuan Rui: "Because this king has just drunk Yicheng, the old general is drunk, how boring it is." ”

Everyone clapped their palms and laughed, but Geng Tong was the only one with a red face, neither laughing nor angry.

As expected, five days later, when Yuan Rui led a large army to sweep through the entire Shanggu County, the rebels of the defending cities all bowed their heads and surrendered when they heard the wind, like a real surrender of a fake exchange.

But Yuan Rui was not satisfied with this achievement, and led an army of 20,000 to continue westward non-stop, wanting to take another county in the plains before the festival. The generals of the army are also high-spirited, and they have the meaning of competing with Sun Rongjun and overshadowing them.

Halfway through the march, Yuan Rui looked at Yuan Zhao: "Dong Nian, you take five thousand elite soldiers to take the lead first!" ”

On the side, Ji Dan continued: "What is the lead, it is simply to surrender!" There was envy in his tone.

Yuan Zhao: "If you want to go like this, then let it be given to you, I don't care about this first battle!" ”

Ji Dan: "You are obviously giving me a handout, how can I accept it?" ”

Yuan Rui: "You two don't make trouble, Yuan Zhao, remember, if you encounter resistance, don't attack hard, wait for the army to arrive!" ”

"The last general commands!" Yuan Zhao turned around and ordered his troops to leave.

Plains City was already in sight, but Yuan Rui was not so anxious and continued to advance unhurriedly. If they said that they would meet Yuan Zhao Huishi on the way, they would not be surprised at all, because the example of Shanggu was there, and there was a chance that Pingyuan County would be taken bloodlessly.

However, when they saw Yuan Zhao again, they were still surprised, because Yuan Zhao was not in high spirits and escorted the rebel generals back, but was dying and returned to the team on a war horse.

Ji Dan's eyes were sharp, and he rushed forward with an arrow step, shaking Yuan Zhao: "Yuan Zhao, how can this be?" And what about the brothers? ”

Yuan Zhao barely stretched his eyelids and squeezed out three words: "Worm, run!" After successfully bringing the news to the main formation, he also lost the strength to support it, slowly closed his eyes, and could no longer open them.

Just a few hours ago, the situation of him and Ji Dan arguing was still so clearly left in everyone's memory, but in a blink of an eye, this memory became a memory and could not be reproduced. Even if Yuan Rui and the others are accustomed to seeing the fire and blood of war, and have cultivated a pair of iron bones among the swordsmen, in the face of such a sudden parting of life and death, they still can't help but have tears in their hearts.

Before they could wipe away their tears, they suddenly saw smoke and dust billowing in front of them, and they didn't know how many soldiers and horses were galloping towards them. "Array!" Yuan Rui was immediately alert and prepared to face the battle.

The other party was galloping, and in the blink of an eye, he had appeared in Yuan Rui's sight, all holding scimitars, straddle war horses, and the number of people was about 5,000. Yuan Rui stepped forward: "I am the Great Wei Expedition to the Northern General Changle Wang Yuanrui, what do you want to go deep into the territory of my Great Wei?" ”

No one came out to answer.

"Where is your lord? Yuan Zhao, the vanguard of our army, led his troops to be attacked, but what did you do? ”

Suddenly, there was a strange sound of bells behind the other party's formation, which gave people a sad and miserable feeling for some reason. When the nomadic cavalry on horseback heard the bell, they screamed as if possessed by an evil demon and rushed towards the Yuan Rui army array. On the battlefield, no matter which country or army, they are accustomed to marching and retreating with the sound of drums, and it is the first time that they have encountered bells as offensive signals.

Yuan Rui was still in shock, and the other party had rushed to him first, but Yuan Rui reacted quickly enough to cut off the horse's head with a knife. The war horse fell down with the knight on his back, but as soon as the Rouran cavalry landed, a carp immediately stood up and stood up, and his agility was not at all like that of an ordinary cavalryman.

Yuan Rui didn't have time to be surprised, and his crotch had been cut off by the other party. Yuan Rui also often cuts the legs of people and horses on the battlefield, and the method of dealing with this kind of emergency situation has long been familiar with it, so he doesn't need to think about it at all, and at the moment when the war horse falls forward, he jumps up with his strength and lands steadily. The figure in front of him flickered, and the strange face of the Rouran cavalry had appeared in front of Yuan Rui's eyes, only to see that his eyes were flashing red, his expression seemed to be smiling, panting, and revealing an indescribable evil aura.

"These worms are not normal, could it be that they have fallen into evil magic?" Yuan Rui said secretly in his heart, and swept towards the Rouran cavalry with a sword. Unexpectedly, the Rouran cavalry did not retreat but advanced, and the left shoulder was cut a lot, but the movement did not slow down at all, and at the same time, the right hand became a claw and probed to Yuan Rui's throat along a strange route.

Yuan Rui's surprise was not trivial, not only because of the Rouran cavalry's unavoidable sword-fighting style, but also because he recognized that the move used by the other party was actually Huaiwu's stunt Throat Lock. On the wedding banquet of Sun Rong and Yang Lan that day, he had seen Sun Rong use it once, and although the Rouran cavalry in front of him was not exactly the same, it also looked similar.

Yuan Rui retreated to avoid the "throat lock kill", cold sweat broke out, it was the first time he had met such a difficult soldier, with this strength, even if he was brave and unscrupulous, it was enough to serve as a partiality. Yu Guang scanned his own military formation, and was surprised to find that the force of the Rouran cavalry that attacked him was not an exception, the enemy army was like this, and the ferocity was abnormal, like a hungry wolf that tortured and killed a flock, rushing left and right in his own formation, leaving a corpse in the place he passed.

With all his might, Yuan Rui finally killed the Rouran cavalry, but before he could take a few breaths of air, he instantly fell into the front and rear attacks of the other two Rouran cavalry. When he was stumbling between the left and the right, a man flew sideways from the oblique spur, kicked over a Rouran cavalryman, and snatched his horse.

"Your Highness, this group of wrigglings is strange, you ride on the horse and go quickly!" It turned out that Shangguan Qian arrived in time.

Yuan Rui turned over and got on the horse: "Senior, let's go together!" ”

Shangguan Qian slashed down an enemy with a knife: "Your Highness will go first, rest assured, the nickname of 'Bai Wuchang' is not called casually, I can catch up with the team in a while." ”

In a word, Shangguan Qian was already submerged in the encirclement of the Rouran cavalry. Yuan Rui gritted his teeth and flicked his horsewhip: "Withdraw!" ”
