Chapter 124: Transactions

is still the same courtyard where he was recuperating at the beginning, and Kong Sheng and the four of them are still in the hospital.

The day was bright, and the Wangjia Fort gradually quieted down, stirring up most of the night, people shouted horses and dogs barking, chickens and dogs jumped and tossed endlessly, but they stopped when the day was coming, and I don't know what the situation of the rebels outside the fort was, whether they were still launching a persistent and strong attack on the castle, and were repelled again and again by archers and rolling wood.

Kong Sheng sat on the carpet in the middle of the hall, with a bright silver spear and a horned bow lying horizontally in front of him. The spear was taken from the hands of Tang Gen, the general of the Hongze Water Kou, and the horned bow was picked up by Kong Sheng under the castle gate last night, and it is unknown who discarded it in the chaos.

Kong Sheng's eyes were closed, and he was running Professor Sima Chengzhen's internal breathing technique. He was surprised to find that with the operation of the internal breath and the smooth flow of the meridians, he clearly felt that there was a warm current slowly brushing through every blood vein in his body, and the wound could be felt to be slowly healing.

The miraculous internal force pranayama made Kong Sheng firm in his desire to continue cultivating. And what subverted his cognition even more was the best gold creation medicine of this year, the black powdered medicine surface, smeared on the wound, it was only a day and night, the wound was itching, and the powerful effect of stopping bleeding and building muscle made Kong Sheng almost dare not believe his eyes.

He slowly opened his eyes, exhaled and opened his voice, collected his strength, absorbed his qi into the dantian, and did it in one go, and he was already familiar with it as if he was eating and dressing.

Mu Changfeng said with a smile on the side: "Childe's internal strength pranayama method is very clever, and it really deserves to be the true inheritance of Grandmaster Sima of Shangqing!" Taoist mysteries are extraordinary. Childe insists on practicing, and in the future, the internal force will hurt others. It's just around the corner. ”

Kong Sheng smiled: "Brother Mu." Internal force and external release hurt people? Is it really happening? Isn't it a novelist's fabrication? ”

Mu Changfeng smiled slightly. Slowly pulled out the sword, waved it vigorously, and shouted: "Childe, please look!" ”

Kong Sheng looked around, only to see the blade of the sword in Mu Changfeng's hand shining, and the brilliance flowed, and in an instant, a white light swept over his sword. Flying like lightning, a screen behind Kong Sheng was in the middle, and with a swallow, he actually cut a crack about a foot long in the screen.

Kong Sheng gasped. If sword qi hurting people becomes a reality, then wouldn't a chivalrous man like Mu Changfeng be a humanoid nuclear weapon, who can be defeated? Hurting people in the air, the deterrent power is really too strong!

Mu Changfeng understood Kong Sheng's thoughts, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Childe, the sword qi hurts people in the air." It needs to be built up and cohesive, not in a hurry. And. With Mu's kung fu, in one day, the sword qi can still be released three or five times, and it is difficult to sustain the internal force. ”

Kong Sheng sighed and understood. After this person cultivates internal strength, the whole body is like a reservoir, the internal force slowly accumulates, accumulates to a certain extent, through the accumulation of potential traction, the effect of external release and injury can be achieved, the more advanced the skill, the more obvious the effect, but the internal force in the reservoir is dissipated, and it takes time to accumulate again, and it is not easy to use, at most it can be used as a surprise killing move.

Kong Sheng nodded, and turned his gaze to the spear and horned bow on the ground again, his expression flickering.

After the previous battle with Hong Ze Shui Kou, especially last night when he witnessed the amazing scene of the archers commanded by Li Xuan flying arrows to retreat from the enemy, Kong Sheng deeply felt that in this ancient society where hot weapons had not yet evolved and cold weapons were the mainstay, the importance of bows and arrows and long weapons in the battle array was self-evident, more important than he imagined.

This made Kong Sheng feel that it was very necessary for him to practice long weapons such as spears and knives and bowery, which were the key bargaining chips to retreat from the enemy and protect his own life.

Kong Sheng pointed to the bright silver spear and horned bow in front of him and said, "Brother Mu, do you know marksmanship and archery?" ”

Mu Changfeng shook his head: "Weapons and cavalry are not Mu Mou's forte, if the son is interested, he can find someone from the army to teach and practice in the future!" ”

Kong Sheng suddenly remembered Wuxian and Wuxie, who were originally low-level officers, and should be no strangers to the art of archery and horse archery. At this moment, the two men hurriedly walked in and said loudly: "Childe, the rebels outside the castle have not retreated, they have not been able to attack for a long time, and they are sleepy and tired, so they retreated to camp under the slope of the hill less than a few miles away from the castle, and put on a long-term confrontation and siege formation. ”

Kong Sheng sneered: "The city defense of Wangjiabao is tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack, this thief army of five or six hundred people does not carry siege equipment, and it is impossible to break through the city defense." If Li Xuan can be lured out of the city to fight, then there may be a glimmer of hope for breaking the city. But if Li Xuan was not a fool, he would definitely not be fooled and leave the city. This matter is obvious, as long as they hold on for ten days and a half months, this thief army will leave without a fight, after all, it is close to Jiangbei, and the rebels dare not stay for a long time, and they are cavalry, lacking food and grass support. ”

While speaking, Kong Sheng got up and held the horned bow, and smiled: "Can you two know the art of archery?" ”

Wu Xian swept the horn bow in Kong Sheng's hand, frowned, and said: "This is an ordinary one-stone bow, what, does the son want to learn archery?" ”

Wu Xie also frowned, and said in his heart, as long as the rebel siege is over, Li Xuan will attack himself and others when he frees his hand, Kong Sheng, you don't think about how to escape, but you still have the leisure to learn archery?

A stone bow, that is, a bow close to a hundred catties, is used by ordinary people.

Kong Sheng stretched his arms and pulled them, which was indeed very light and weak. He frowned, his arms increased a little harder, and he heard a click, and the bow was actually broken by him, and the bowstring was drawn to his cheek with elasticity and tenacity, which he dodged.

Wu Xian and the others knew that Kong Sheng's divine power was amazing, and it was not surprising that a stone bow was torn off by him, but they did not make a fuss. Most of the ordinary non-commissioned officers in this army were equipped with one-stone bows, and specially trained full-time archers could use three-stone bows. As for the six-stone bow or even the ten-stone bow, it is simply the legendary peerless warrior who can afford to pull it.

Kong Sheng estimated that he could at least pull a three-stone bow, and it shouldn't be a big problem for him to pull up a bow of three or four hundred catties with his two arms. Even, perhaps, you can win the six-stone bow.

Kong Sheng walked out of the flower hall slowly, stood in the courtyard, saw that there were many people outside the courtyard, and knew that it was the person sent by Li Xuan to monitor him, his expression remained unchanged, but he waved his hand to Mu Changfeng and the others, signaling them to carry their bags and prepare to go.

Mu Changfeng was shocked, the gates of the castle were sealed, and there were rebels outside the fort, even if Li Xuan's people ignored it, they couldn't escape from the fort.

But Mu Changfeng has long been accustomed to Kong Sheng's style, he has never been eclectic in doing things, and he doesn't like others to ask long and short, ask questions about the west, although Mu Changfeng was full of doubts, but he still ordered Wu Xianwu to untie his bags, and went to the courtyard to untie the reins of the horses, and led the horses to follow.

Kong Sheng was the first to go out of the courtyard, and the seven or eight military men sent by Li Xuan to monitor suddenly appeared from the shadows, holding Mo knives as if they were facing a great enemy, and coldly reprimanded: "What are you going to do?" The county lord has an order, it is strictly forbidden to wait for half a step out, hurry back! ”

Kong Sheng hugged his fists and said: "Master Jun, please pass the Fengyang County Lord, just say that Kong has something important to ask to see!" ”

A military man sneered and turned his head and left, no matter what, it should be done. As for the other military men, they insisted on the murderous aura of the four of Kong Sheng, if the four of them had a hint of wind and grass, then it must be the sword light and blood shadow.

After the tea, Li Xuan floated with a cold face, followed by Li Hu and Li Bao and other strong and majestic servants, at least dozens of people. Obviously, if Kong Sheng can't give Li Xuan a reasonable explanation, Li Xuan will have to be ruthless. Anyway, the rebels won't be able to attack the castle for a while, so let's get rid of Kong Sheng's four hidden dangers that can easily cause civil strife.

"What do you want to see the lord of the county?" Li Xuan said coldly.

Kong Sheng smiled slightly, although he was under the siege of dozens of soldiers, and there were many archers eyeing him, he did not have the slightest fear: "Kong wants to make a deal with the county lord. ”

Li Xuan was stunned: "Little thief, what do you mean?" ”

"According to Kong's observation, there were more than 200 people in the county lord's fort, and there were 500 or 600 rebels outside the castle. This means that it is difficult for the county lord's men and horses to guard the castle, but if they go out of the castle to fight the thieves, they will not be able to catch it. Kong Sheng's indifferent voice came into Li Xuan's ears.

Li Xuan's eyes froze: "You little thief has a heart, and you have found out the combat strength of this fort." However, it is enough for the lord of this county to defend the castle, so why should I go out of the city to fight the thieves? Promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, the county lord still has this bit of brain! ”

"But in Kong's opinion, the county lord finally had to go out of the city to fight the thieves." Kong Sheng chuckled and looked at Li Xuan: "Judging by the time, the caravan under the county lord is about to arrive in Wangjiabao, that is, in this day or two, right?" However, this rebel army is entrenched in the official road, if Li Biao's grain team arrives and is plundered by the rebels, will the consequences be unimaginable? ”

Li Xuan's face changed suddenly, and the gaze that looked at Kong Sheng was even more murderous: "Little thief, no matter how cunning and treacherous you are, you still can't escape from the palm of the county lord!" ”

Kong Sheng smiled: "County Lord, you and I have no deep hatred, why do you have to see you alive and dead?"

"In Kong's humble opinion, in the end, the county lord or out of the city fought a decisive battle with the rebels, broke the cauldron and repelled this thief army, and completely cleared the future troubles for the grain team; Or, simply abandon the castle and lead the army out of the castle to join Li Biao's caravan and try to ensure that the food fleet is not lost. I don't know if Kong Sheng's guess is right? ”

Li Xuanqiao's face was full of frost, and she said word by word: "You little thief, so what?" The lord of this county is decisive in killing and has his own opinions! As for the four of youβ€”it's time to send you on your way, too! ”

Li Xuan sneered and slowly raised her hand.

The surrounding military Han Mo swords pointed obliquely forward, and the archers were on the string, ready to attack.

In Li Xuan's opinion, Kong Sheng is really like a demon, such a person is too terrible, if it can't be used by me, then I can only get rid of it to prevent future troubles. (To be continued.) )
