Text: Chapter 449 Cold Arrow

Following.

When the red glow of the morning sun dyed the east red, the officers and soldiers began to move in full swing. The entire battalion of officers and soldiers rose up and began to march in the direction of Liangshan in front of them again.

I have to say that the 70,000-strong official army is bustling towards Liangshan, and the scene is really majestic. This formation alone is a bit terrifying.

When the army is exhausted, the speed of action is naturally impossible to be fast. What's more, the composition of the official army at this time is also relatively complicated. There is a central forbidden army, and there is also a local army.

Fortunately, the place where Guan Sheng and the others camped before was not far from Liangshan, only about thirty miles away.

After about an hour, the officers and soldiers suddenly stopped, looking solemnly waiting.

There was no other reason, because in front of them, there was a dense wave of people lined up, blocking the road in front of them.

Guan Sheng looked at it, but the wave of people and horses was all horse troops. One side of the temperament with the wind. In the front, there is this bright red flag, the flag hunting in the autumn wind, on which there are three gilded characters of "Liangshanbo".

"What a Liangshan thief!"

Guan Sheng looked at the people in front of him and couldn't help muttering. There is no doubt that these are Liangshan people, and judging from the momentum of these horse troops in front of them, they are like wolves and tigers, and they are much stronger than the forbidden army of the imperial court.

Although he knew that this Liangshan thief was really unusual, but seeing that the Liangshan soldiers and horses were so majestic in front of him, Guan Sheng couldn't help but feel surprised and even stunned in his heart.

Guan Sheng looked at the front row of Liangshan people in front of him again, those people had different postures and extraordinary momentum, and they were all staring at their side, obviously they were all the leaders of Liangshanbo.

The first person, with a tall figure and a dignified body, faintly revealed an unfathomable aura.

Seeing this, Guan Sheng couldn't help but stare at it. Although he didn't know Chao Gai, but at this time, he saw that the "righteous brother" Tang Bin he knew was also in the queue in the first row, Guan Sheng guessed that there was a chance that this person would be the famous Tota Heavenly King on the rivers and lakes - Chao Gai.

Guan Sheng groaned slightly, then drove his horse a few steps forward, looked at the Liangshan army opposite in front of him, and said loudly: "Dare to ask the leader of Liangshan Bochao Gai in front of the battle?" ”

Chao Gai looked at the person in front of him, with a dignified body of eight feet five or six, thin three willow mustaches, two eyebrows into the sideburns, phoenix eyes facing the sky, face like a heavy jujube, lips painted with Zhu, and a green dragon glaive knife in his right hand, but it was not the commander of the official army on this trip, the commander of the Zhao Guanjia Imperial Seal - the big sword Guan Sheng, the head of the three heroes of Pudong.

Then, Chao Gai smiled slightly, and also drove a few steps forward, looking at Guan Sheng in front of him chuckling and clenching his fists slightly: "In Xia Chao Gai, I don't know what General Guan has to say?" ”

"Chao Tianwang, you are also a famous hero in the rivers and lakes, Guan Mou also heard of your name when he was in Pudong."

Guan Sheng looked at Chao Gai's breezy expression, and then said with a puzzled expression: "Your Excellency is a good rich man, but he prefers to fall into the grass." And make such a big commotion, and the court is the enemy, the country and the people, the people, now I am on the order of the Son of Heaven to come to crusade against you, but why bother? ”

"General Guan, Chao has also heard of your name as a big sword Guan Sheng for a long time. Our brothers and I gathered here, but not to oppose the imperial court. It's just that today's traitorous ministers are in charge, wielding power and power, and loyal and good ministers are not allowed to be in the court. Corrupt officials are rampant, forming parties for personal gain, and ordinary people are suffering miserably. Heaven is unfair, but the Zhao official family ignores it and turns a blind eye, our brothers uphold the heart of loyalty, have the heart of loyalty and sincerity, take the common people in the world as their own responsibility, and save the people for the purpose, for the way of heaven, for the people to ask for their lives, how did they become the generation of disasters for the country and the people? ”

"As for the cruelty to the people, it's even more nonsense!" , Chao Gai smiled and explained: "General Guan might as well suspend his troops for the time being, and go to the prefectures and counties near Liangshan to ask the people, have I ever had the behavior of the people in Liangshan?" ”

"On the contrary, it is those corrupt officials who ride on the heads of the people and regard them as pigs and dogs. If General Guan really wants to work for the benefit of the people, he might as well go and investigate those corrupt officials thoroughly, and the people will definitely thank General Guan for his great kindness! ”

Hearing this, Guan Sheng suddenly laughed: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the leader of Chao Gai is Yi Bo Yuntian, but now, Yi Bo Yuntian Guan has not seen it, but he has seen the skill of the leader of Chao and reversing black and white, but it is first-class in the rivers and lakes!" ”

Speaking of this, Guan Sheng suddenly sneered: "You Liangshanbo captured Qingzhou, made a big fuss about Jiangzhou in the front, and then hijacked the people of the imperial court, and made a big fuss about the Daimyo's Mansion in the back." How many people were killed during this period, and they still swore here that they were doing the right thing for heaven and asking for their lives for the people? You Chao Gai is really shameless, you can say such high-sounding words! Besides, this is the way of heaven, and you can say it casually. You really do the right for heaven, but who gave you this right? ”

"General Guan has misunderstood!"

When Chao Gai heard this, he just chuckled: "My Liangshanbo attacked Qingzhou, but there was a reason for it, and my Liangshan was just self-defense." And then Jiangzhou's move, the Daimyo's Mansion's move, we just killed Cai Jiu, the Zhizhou who did a lot of evil in Jiangzhou, and Liang Zhongshu, who did all the evil in the Daimyo's Mansion, but we didn't commit any crime against the people! But all the people I Liangshan killed are traitors to the common people, and I Liangshan will never kill a good person by mistake! ”

"Nonsense!"

Guan Sheng said angrily: "You have killed Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, Cai Jiu, the son of Cai Taishi, and Liang Zhongshu, the son-in-law of Cai Taishi, and now even Gao Yanei, the son of Gao Taiwei, was also looted by you and others to Liangshan and executed. You are so indiscriminately killing the officials of the imperial court, but you are not an enemy of the imperial court? Even these people are guilty, and the court will hand them over to Yousi to be responsible for investigation and trial, how can you make you so lawless? ”

"General Guan said this well", Chao Gai couldn't help but smile: "It's not that my Liangshan brothers like to kill, it's just that I Liangshan don't kill, if these people are handed over to the court for verification, how many people in the court can judge the case impartially?" is that there are loyal and good ministers who dare to judge the case impartially, and with Taishi Cai and Taiwei Gao behind their backs, how can these people be brought to justice? If I could, I'm afraid I wouldn't wait for my Liangshan to come and take their lives! ”

"I ......"

Hearing this, Guan Sheng was suddenly a little speechless, and he was speechless all of a sudden.

No matter how loyal he is to his mission, Guan Sheng also knows that what Chao Gai said is true.

Guan Sheng naturally knew that these people had a lot of crimes by virtue of the backstage of Taishi Cai and Taiwei Gao. But it is precisely because of the strength of the backers behind them that these people are rampant. With Taishi Cai talking to Taiwei Gao in the court, as long as it is not a big crime such as rebellion, how can they be moved.

At this moment, a feather arrow galloped out from the imperial army behind Guan Sheng, and suddenly shot towards Chao Gai not far in front of him.

At the same time, a sneer sounded: "Bold rebel, so clever words." Eat me with an arrow! ”

When the Liangshan people behind Chao Gai reacted, they were shocked. Most of the generals on the side all had a deep look of fear on their faces.

"Brother Tianwang, be careful!"

"Brother beware!"

……

Everyone was scared, at this time, even if Pegasus went to rescue Chao Gai, it was already too late, seeing that the arrow galloped towards Chao Gai's heart.

However, at the same time, not far behind Chao Gai, there was also a feathered arrow galloping out, and with a whoosh, like a meteor catching the moon, it rushed straight ahead.

Just as Chao Gai was concentrating and preparing to catch the sneak arrow in front of him, Chao Gai suddenly heard a sound behind him, and then saw a feather arrow behind him coming directly from his side, and suddenly hit the arrow that had reached a distance of less than a meter in front of him.

Bite!

Only a crisp sound could be heard, and the two feathered arrows collided like the tips of needles against wheat mangs. Then the two feathered arrows shook and fell to the ground together.

Suddenly, everyone in front of the Liang army looked at this scene a little sluggishly.

"What kind of hero is you, you are secretly attacking, and you are hurting people with secret arrows!"

Lu Zhishen saw that Chao Gai was in danger, and immediately looked at the officers and soldiers in front of him and scolded.

At this time, Dong Ping was still holding a bow in his hand, with a look of regret. If it weren't for the other party's arrow blocking it before, Chao Gai at this time would have become a ghost under his Dong Ping's arrow.

Previously, when Guan Sheng was talking to Chao Gai, Yang Jian quietly gave Dong Ping a look. Dong Ping understood, quietly took two steps back, hid behind Yang Jian, took a carved bow from the back of the horse, and took the arrow from the quiver that had already been coated with poison on the arrow in advance, bent the bow and took the arrow, and shot an arrow at Chao Gai.

Dong Ping originally had no faith. And because it was Yang Jian's instruction, and as long as he killed Chao Gai, it would definitely be a great achievement, Dong Ping did not hesitate at all, and personally smeared poison on the arrows overnight, not wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of today's battle.

Seeing that Chao Gai was almost killed by his own arrows, but at this time it was a failure, Dong Ping was suddenly a little lost, and looked at the person behind Chao Gai who came to the rescue with a resentful face.

At this time, Yang Jian heard Lu Zhishen's words, and immediately laughed: "It's really a bunch of grass bandits, and the heavenly soldiers are here to exterminate you and other Liangshan thieves." Who is playing these tricks with you? It's ridiculous! ”

Hearing this, in the Liangshan camp behind Chao Gai, Xiao Li Guanghuarong, who had previously rescued Chao Gai, suddenly snorted coldly: "In this case, it is not rude to come." You can eat me with an arrow! ”

As he spoke, Xiao Li Guanghuarong suddenly took out three feather arrows from the quiver behind him again, and put them on the flower carving bow in his hand together.

Before Hua Rong's words fell, he only heard the sound of a bowstring, and three feather arrows flew out at the same time, in a side-by-side shape, and suddenly only went towards Dong Ping, who was shooting arrows, and Yang Jian, who had spoken before.
