readx; readx; In Changning City, the two horsemen walked slowly, through the lively street market, and headed towards the south gate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Tu Ping, who was on the move, said to Chu Zhennan: "Young City Lord, in my opinion, Li Weixin is narrow-minded and cannot be trusted. ”

Chu Zhennan was surprised: "Why do you say that? After their men and horses in Baishi Mountain City were given the task of assisting Li Weixin by Zhu Xieyuan, they immediately set off for Changning, and before leaving, Chu Zhennan personally took Tu Ping to meet with the general soldier Li Weixin, and discussed some strategies for dealing with the enemy.

Tu Ping said: "Young City Lord, when you and Li Weixin discussed, Li Weixin never mentioned the matter of funding our ordnance and food, and there was no hospitality, this is one of them; Second, this time defending the left side is his Li Weixin's heavy responsibility, but he wants our people and horses of Baishi Mountain City to be stationed outside the south gate, and the enemy is in the south, which is the first line of the enemy. Third, when we asked about some specific strategies for dealing with the enemy, Li Weixin's words flickered, as if he had concealed something, and how could he be trusted by us if he was so uneasy about us? ”

Chu Zhennan said with a smile: "Old man Tu is too worried, the soldiers and horses in southern Sichuan are already short of food and weapons, and even their military salaries are donated by us, in their hearts, they naturally think that our Baishi Mountain City is rich, how can they provide us with food and weapons?" Moreover, this time we let us be stationed outside the south gate, it is nothing more than a fancy to the strength of our Baishi Mountain City, knowing that our men and horses are not inferior to any elite soldiers, this is our trust, but also a test for us, we naturally can't let the chief soldier down. As for what you said about General Li's flickering words, I think that there must be some things that are inconvenient to disclose to us too much about major affairs in the army, and there is no need to linger on this point. ”

Tu Ping heard him say this, shook his head and sighed: "Young City Lord, you are so sincere to the imperial court, and you are completely defenseless, it is really admirable, but it is me, but it seems stingy......"

Chu Zhennan said: "Where, Tu Protector can you think so carefully, it can be seen that our mountain city is also a painstaking one, thanks to an old man like you, our mountain city can maintain its status and reputation today, and you are also indispensable." ”

Tu Ping smiled when he heard this, and said: "Xie Shaocheng Lord trusts, with a sentence like you, I Tu someone is sacrificing his life for the country, and it is worth dying on the battlefield." ”

Chu Zhennan said: "The old man is serious, where can I trouble you to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, you just need to sit in the rear and command the plan, and this matter of fighting in battle will be handed over to the younger brothers in Shancheng." ”

The two of them talked, and after a short time, they left the south gate of Changning, spurred their horses, increased their speed, and drove quickly towards the place where the mountain city was stationed. After driving for several miles, you will come to a bamboo forest, and you will only need to pass through this lush bamboo forest to reach the mountain castle station.

The two of them rode into the forest and drove along the road that was only a foot wide. This is a large area of lush bamboo forest, emerald green as the sea, covering the sky and the sun, after driving into the depths of the bamboo forest, it is even more deep and beautiful, as if coming to an isolated paradise.

After entering the depths of the bamboo sea, the two gradually slowed down their horses and drove one after the other. As it is approaching dusk, the afterglow of the sun shines through the dense bamboo forest overhead, casting it onto the red gravel paved road, which is even more colorful and pleasant. dudu1;

When Chu Zhennan was riding his horse, he suddenly felt something wrong, the strong wind above his head gusted, he couldn't help but be startled, and quickly looked up, only to see that in the dense forest above his head, more than a dozen people suddenly flew down from above, all with their faces covered, holding a long sword with cold light in their hands, stabbing towards him.

"Watch out for the ambush!" He only had time to shout such a sentence, and quickly drew his sword and fought back at these people who attacked them.

The sound of "clanging" was incessant, and the two men quickly fought back with their swords, and although they failed to kill them both, they also stabbed their mounts, and the two horses fell to the ground in a neighing sound, and they had to jump off their horses to face the Assassins who had attacked them.

Seeing that these assassins gathered and surrounded him and Tu Ping in the center, Chu Zhennan shouted, "Who are you? ”

One of the assassins said coldly, "Naturally, they are the ones who want to kill you, so why ask?" ”

Chu Zhennan sneered: "Do you know who I am?" ”

The man said: "Chu Zhennan, the young city lord of Baishan Mountain City, we have been famous for a long time. ”

"Now that you know who I am, you dare to assassinate me?" Chu Zhennan said awe-inspiringly.

The man laughed and said, "City Lord Chu, you are too arrogant, today is the day when your Chu Zhennan will be removed from the rivers and lakes." ”

Chu Zhennan smiled proudly and said, "It's up to you? It's overwhelming, come on, let me see who you are. "Although there are only two of them, but in the fight just now, Chu Zhennan has roughly mastered the depth of these assassins' skills, and is confident that he will annihilate all these people under the joint force with Tu Ping.

The man snorted coldly and shouted, "Kill me." With a wave of his hand, he took the lead and rushed towards Chu Zhennan, and the long sword in his hand stabbed him in the chest. dudu2;

Chu Zhennan's long sword danced and met these assassins. There were ten of these assassins, and in order to be able to kill him in one fell swoop, a total of six people surrounded him, and the remaining four people surrounded Tu Ping.

Chu Zhennan's long sword stretched and shrunk rapidly, swallowing nothing, and used the "Kunyue" sword technique that he relied on to shock the southwest to face these six assassins. Kunyue's swordsmanship was created by his father Chu Feiyun after being instructed by the elder of the martial arts, combined with his own martial arts, and the power was amazing.

Now, this set of cold sword moves came out, and immediately forced the six assassins to retreat, and they could only fight around him endlessly, not only could not hurt him in the slightest, but two of their own side stabbed Chu Zhennan, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

In an instant, dozens of moves have passed, and the six assassins surrounding Chu Zhennan have been stabbed by him, and four of them have been stabbed by him, and the blood is not stopping, only two of them are still forcibly supporting themselves, as long as a moment passes, I am afraid that these people will not be able to support and be defeated.

Tu Ping behind him had already forced the four assassins aside, and he was about to win the final victory.

Chu Zhennan became more and more courageous, swept back the two assassins on his side with a horizontal sword, shook the long sword in his hand, and stabbed towards the first assassin who was talking to him just now, this sword was the best move in his Kunyue swordsmanship, and he had to stab this person to blood on the spot.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a loud wind behind him, as if several strong winds were rushing towards his back, and one of them was even more surging and fierce. Several assassins in front of him also launched the most fierce attacks on him at this time, killing him one after another.

Chu Zhennan was startled, and hurriedly swung his sword and danced, after a series of "clanging" sounds, the assassins in front of him fell back one after another, and he also hurriedly spread his body and moved sideways to the right, trying to avoid the sneak attack from the rear. Rao was like this, and the chilling sword qi behind him was still in hot pursuit, not giving him any room to maneuver at all.

With a "poof", the long sword pierced through his left shoulder, and the powerful qi attacked his lungs, and he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, and hurriedly stabbed back with a sword.

The man behind him made a sneak attack, pulled out the long sword that pierced his shoulder, raised the sword, and with a "dang" sound, the two swords intersected, and the qi and blood in Chu Zhennan's chest churned again, and he stumbled forward.

When the Assassins saw that he was wounded, they gathered around him again and surrounded him. Chu Zhennan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "Tu Protector, I didn't expect it...... You're actually the mastermind. He slowly turned around and faced Tu Ping, who had just struck a sword at him, seriously wounding him. dudu3;

Tu Ping looked at the blood dripping along the tip of the sword, laughed, and said, "Otherwise, how can you be seriously injured and become a prisoner of our ranks." ”

"In vain, I have always respected you as the elder of the mountain city, why do you ...... To do this? Chu Zhennan glared at him angrily, with anger and unwillingness.

Tu Pingleng snorted and said, "Young City Lord, have you forgotten that I am a Yi person?" ”

Chu Zhennan's heart sank, and said: "The mountain city is not thin with you, and the Ming treats you well, you are ...... Do you want to betray the Ming Dynasty? ”

Tu Ping suddenly became angry and said: "The Ming Dynasty wants to exterminate my people, how can I watch my people being slaughtered, the Ming Dynasty is so unjust, why should I be loyal to such a court?" ”

Chu Zhennan exhaled a long breath of pain and said, "Extravagant Chongming betrayed Ming and stood on his own...... For the chaos in southern Sichuan, many Yi people under the Ming Dynasty were wrapped up in it, and the leaders of the major villages also looked forward to the Ming army to exterminate it as soon as possible, you ...... You're doing it for the tiger! ”

Tu Ping shouted angrily when he heard this: "Pull a few handfuls of wool, the Ming Dynasty wants to destroy our Yi people and change the land to the stream, and it has not been a day or two since I had this idea." If they still respect us as local leaders, why should I betray the Ming Dynasty? But now, they clearly want to completely exterminate our Yi people, seize our land, and let those court officials govern the place. As a Yi person, if I don't contribute to the clan at this time, I will be infamous through the ages. After a pause, he pointed behind him and said, "Not only me, but you look at the Yi brothers in the mountain city, which one doesn't think like this?" ”

The assassins behind him took off the masks covering their faces, and Chu Zhennan saw that they were all Yi brothers in the mountain city, and he felt a pain in his heart, and muttered: "It seems that I was wrong...... I didn't take into account your feelings......"

Tu Ping shouted: "You're not wrong, you're too confident, you've always been conceited, where do you take into account the feelings of your subordinates?" ”

Chu Zhennan clenched his jaw and said, "Tu Protector, as an elder of the mountain city, you have been working for the mountain city and the Ming Dynasty for many years, and you were still ...... back then also participated in the Battle of Banzhou, you should understand that the Ming Dynasty will not ...... I will not do you any wrong. The blood from his wounded shoulder was still spilling, and the injuries to his internal organs were getting worse, but he still had hope and tried to persuade these Yi brothers who had served the mountain city for many years.
