Chapter 4: Thorny
Xu Ruyu said: "Yi Zhouwu and Xun Da have made a secret agreement to jointly deal with the Xiangfan congregation in Qingzhou, can Mr. Shao be prepared?" ”
Shao Haitang said: "Xiangzhou is defeated, my Xiangfan will have tens of thousands of congregations scattered in the three counties of Jinyang, Yongning, and Qingzhou, but my Xiangfan will punish the family clan in Xiangzhou City, and commit a big taboo in the world, even if the Xun family does not kill them all, the families of the counties in Hedong will not let us stay on our side, and I came to Qingzhou to organize the Qingzhou congregation to move to the Jingyue area." ”
Jing County and Yue County are in great trouble, the clan power is much weaker than the counties in Jiangbei, and the southern border is full of mountains and mountains, and Miao Yi lives together, so the Xiangfan congregation will be withdrawn to that place, and there is still a place to live for the time being. However, tens of thousands of people had to cross the war-torn East China Sea and Yongning, and Jinyang, where the clan fence was very dense, and reach the southern mountainous areas of Jing County and Yue County safely, and the difficulties can be imagined.
Xu Ruyu nodded silently, pondered for a moment and said, "This is not a place for discussion, you come with me." ”
Xu Jingcheng asked, "Why did General Qingfeng appear here?" Xu Ruyu suddenly appeared, how did he know that he would not have other plans, so Xu Jingcheng asked.
Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "Mr. Shao should understand what my intention is in Yizhou. ”
Xu Ruyu guessed that he was stealth in the Longxing Association three days ago, and if he had a plan, he didn't have to wait until now, Shao Haitang thought for a moment, there were still a few unknowns, and asked: "Pianhong has been paying attention to you for a few days, and I haven't seen you contact others, could it be that you want to assassinate Yi Zhouwu alone?" ”
Everyone was shocked again, and they all looked at Xu Ruyu with incredible eyes. Xu Ruyu smiled: "Ruyu doesn't dare to be arrogant so much. There are still more than 100 people here in Wanling. Looking at everyone's surprised eyes, he continued: "I have ordered more than twenty good hands to pretend to be members of your guild to go to Xishan to disturb Yi Zhouwu's vision, you just need to hide and hide. ”
Xu Jingcheng said "oh" and said, "Then the fire in Dongcheng was caused by your people?" ”
Xu Ruyu bowed his head gloomily and acquiesced, and at this time, several fires also broke out in the north and south of the city, and the noise was even worse.
Xu Ruyu looked at Shao Haitang and said, "Mr. Shao, if your association can help me assassinate Yi Zhouwu, the East China Sea will be the path from your association to Xiangfan. ”
There are many women and children in the Xiangfan Society, and they can take advantage of the East China Sea, and I don't know how many people's lives can be saved. Shao Haitang asked eagerly: "You Yuye has left Wanling, can you make the decision on this matter?" ”
Xu Ruyu said: "Zhang Zhongdao of the Chen family, Xi Daoning of the Xi family, and Uncle Wei of the Wei family are all in Yizhou. ”
Although Xu Jingcheng is arrogant, it is a matter of Xiangfan's survival, how can he not care, hold Xu Ruyu's left shoulder with one hand, and say: "Where are they, can you see them now?" ”
Xu Ruyu led Shao Haitang and others to avoid the Yizhou patrol and went to the northern city. Fortunately, the mansion is very conspicuous and easy to recognize, and if you can't find the way, your face will be lost.
Xu Ruyu followed the code and knocked three times, still the gatekeeper. Seeing that it was Xu Ruyu who led everyone forward, he called softly: "General Qingfeng." "Open the door and let the people in.
Zhang Zhongdao and Xi Daoning hadn't gone out yet, and they came out when they heard the sound. Seeing that Xu Ruyu had brought more than ten people in, they were all very surprised.
Xu Ruyu introduced them one by one, and Zhang Zhongdao said: "If Mr. Shao can help me in the East China Sea, whether it is successful or not, the East China Sea is the passage for Xiangfan to go to Jingyue." ”
Xi Daoning took his words and said: "In order to cover up the mouths of the people, how to use the Dao Shangrong to discuss in detail, Mr. Shao, you say it's okay?" ”
Even if the Chen clan dominates the East China Sea in the future, they cannot leave the support of other lords, and the blatant connivance of Xiangfan will undoubtedly leave others with a difficult excuse.
Shao Haitang said: "Can I let the Qingzhou congregation temporarily avoid Wanling and Yuha?" ”
Zhang Zhongdao said: "How many people? ”
Shao Haitang said: "There are less than 10,000 people, and half of them are women and children. When the East China Sea is peaceful, we will leave the East China Sea and go to Yue County. ”
Zhang Zhongdao pondered the fragment and looked at Xi Daoning. These more than 10,000 congregations, unusual displaced people, among which there are more than 1,000 elite combat power, if Xiangfan will have other intentions, then the situation in Wanling and Yuha will be unstable. The weight of responsibility makes life difficult, Zhang and Xi looked at each other speechless for a long time.
Xu Ruyu said: "I'll write a letter to explain everything. ”
Zhang Zhongdao said: "The clan master will definitely decide so here. ”
Xu Ruyu wrote it hastily, let Zhang Zhongdao and Xi Daoning read it, and then handed it over to Shao Haitang, and said, "Mr. Shao, do you think it's good to arrange it like this?" ”
Shao Haitang and a few people behind him looked at it together, thought for a moment, and praised: "It's rare that you are so thoughtful in your foolish minds. ”
Zhang Zhongdao saw that Shao Haitang agreed with the arrangement of the letter, signed his name, and looked at Xi Daoning. Xi Daoning laughed and said, "I am the credit of General Qingfeng. "Anyway, sign your name too.
Shao Haitang said to the person beside him: "Jing Cheng and I stay, Ziheng, you sneak out of the city as soon as possible, and contact the personnel of Wanling according to General Qingfeng's arrangement." "Shao Haitang knew that this assassination of Yi Zhouwu, Wanling was only lacking a first-class master, and let the irrelevant people withdraw from the city before the assassination operation was completed, so as not to retaliate frantically afterwards.
Xu Ruyu, Zhang Zhongdao, Xi Daoning, Shao Haitang, and Xu Jingcheng led the remaining more than 50 good hands of Wanling to sneak to the post house, and when they left, they set the mansion on fire. Xu Ruyu was most worried about Chen Jingzong's more than 20 people, and the real Shao Haitang would be assassinated with him, so they would need to show enough combat power to attract Yi Zhouwu's attention, and they couldn't run away.
Xu Ruyu and fifty others secretly sneaked to the side of the road and hid in the treacherous night. A team of more than 20 Yizhou soldiers approached lazily, the head of the team and the tail of the team held four wind lanterns, and the dim halo emitted shrouded more than 20 people in a miserable circle of light, completely unaware that the god of death was not far in front of him, stretching out his devouring giant tongue.
Suddenly, two night owl screams came from east to west, and Xu Ruyu knew that the other two teams of city patrol soldiers had stayed away from here, so he looked at Zhang Zhongdao and signaled that he could do it.
Dozens of ghostly figures floated out from the side of the road, and before the patrol sergeant woke up, he found that he was in a strange realm, and the endless domineering momentum was overwhelming, and his breath was suffocated, and he couldn't hear the sound of his own shouting. I wanted to see the person who came, but I felt that my eyes were dark and I didn't know anything.
Xu Ruyu's five people retreated to the dark place next to the road with pale faces, gasping sharply, obviously just now the five of them jointly cast a large potential field to control the voices of more than 20 people, and the consumption of Dan breath was very huge. Instantly restrained a team of Yizhou elite soldiers, and did not make a single abnormal sound, if it were not for the cooperation of five first-grade masters, it would be difficult to do.
Xu Ruyu's pranayama returned to normal for a while, and then Zhang Zhongdao and the four of them also recovered one after another. The four of them were all surprised to see that Xu Ruyu was the weakest in cultivation, but the first to make up for the loss of Dan Xi, Zhang Zhongdao put his arm around his shoulder, salivated and said, "If I didn't know your surname, I would definitely suspect that you were lazy just now." ”
Xu Ruyu scolded with a smile, ignored him, and said, "Hurry up and change into armor, we have to patrol the street for Yi Zhouwu." ”
At this time, the things that can be burned in the west city have been burned out, the fire is gradually extinguished, the north city is mostly the official office, the east city and the south city are mostly the residence of the family clan merchants, the houses are mostly made of blue bricks and black stone, it is difficult to cause a fire, and the fire prevention facilities are complete, several fires have not been burned through, and they were extinguished by the Yizhou army.
The people outside the gate of the West City were sleepy all night, and gradually returned to the West City. Seeing the houses destroyed to ashes, mourning the streets, and the sound of long weeping one after another, Xu Ruyu secretly sighed when he heard it.
Xu Ruyu, Xi Daoning, and Shao Haitang led more than 20 people to dress up as Yizhou patrol soldiers, and drove away the refugees stranded on the road with evil shapes and evil voices.
Zhang Zhongdao and Xu Jingcheng led the rest of the people and mingled in the flow of people.
More than 100 Jingwei hugged Yi Zhouwu and Xun Da and slowly returned to the city, and Xun Da looked sad. After a night of tossing and turning but finding nothing, everyone was a little depressed.
There were many homeless people and beggars in the city, and after this fire, the open space on both sides of the road was crowded with people, the fire broke out suddenly, and many people fled out of the city before they could put on their clothes, and now they rushed back to the city, but they saw a ruin in the west city, several people and dozens of people were crowded together, moaning, howling, and trembling under the biting cold wind, and the children in their mother's arms cried and shouted and screamed for hunger, tearing the hearts of adults, looking at the passage of Yi Zhouwu and the others with high heads and horses, and endured patience and did not dare to make a sound.
Yi Zhouwu frowned slightly, although he ignored the lives of the displaced people, but 50,000 untouchables froze to death in the spring cold, and the foundation of Qingzhou fluctuated a lot, which was really a headache.
Xun Da secretly looked at Yi Zhouwu for a while, and suddenly said: "Isn't it that you are worried about the untouchables in front of you?" ”
On both sides of the road, there are tall wind lanterns at intervals, and the west city gradually calms down, but the north city is lively, several places are full of fire, and the lanterns are denser than this, reflecting the sky into a dark purple, like a solidified river of blood. Yi Zhouwu was secretly upset by such a thought in his heart, but he didn't hear what Xun Da said.
Yi Zhouwu turned around and instructed a Jingwei and said, "You go and let the eldest prince bring some good men to Xicheng, they can't afford to make trouble in Beicheng." ”
Xun Da was a little angry, and said: "There are too many minions in Xiangzhou, let me worry about the king." ”
Yi Zhouwu looked at Xun Da's vulgar face under the dark fire, and was disgusted in his heart, and said lazily: "What price did Xun Hou offer?" ”
Xun Da said: "One person hardware, every person who buys one person to dedicate to the envoy two gold." ”
Yi Zhouwu snorted secretly and said, "Why don't Xun Hou buy my Yizhou City?" ”
Xun Da saved Yi Zhouwu from taunting him, and he was furious in his heart, and he wanted to kick him to the ground, but this place was Qingzhou, and he had to endure it. But seeing 50,000 displaced people who have nothing to rely on, how can Xun Da not be moved, Xiangzhou, the slaughter, fleeing people as high as 100,000 people, the city is empty, if you want to re-establish a family in Xiangzhou, a large number of domestic slaves are indispensable, if you can transport these 50,000 people back to Fen County, it will be a big profit. Now he pinched the words for Yi Zhouwu, stabbed him hard, couldn't speak anymore, and looked at the other side with hatred.
At this time, the east of the city faintly stepped on the horse's hooves, and everyone thought that the eldest prince was coming, and their tense hearts relaxed, and they casually looked at the patrol soldiers on the side of the road and scolded and spurred the untouchables who had a slight abnormality.
Suddenly, Yi Zhouwule Ma did not move, staring ahead. Everyone drew their weapons and looked at the long street ahead. Endless murderous aura pervaded.
A gust of wind passed, and a majestic black shadow with a long figure appeared on the long street. The person who came was so blatantly assassinated, I was afraid that before he rushed to Yi Zhouwu's car, he would be in a different place.
Yi Zhou drank arbitrarily: "Watch out for the untouchables on both sides. ”
The black shadow quickly approached, and everyone could feel his powerful killing intent, not a feint.
What if it wasn't a feint, more than ten elite guards jumped off their mounts and stabbed at the black shadow, trying to keep the black shadow out of the formation.
The black shadow man was Zhang Zhongdao, and the backhand knife struck out, all of which slashed at more than ten Ge tips, and more than ten Dan Jin surged out one after another, one by one, and all of them swept more than ten people away. The long knife left his hand and flew towards Yi Zhou Wuxun, driving Pei Ran's strong momentum.
More than ten wind lanterns were extinguished together, and this long street suddenly fell into devouring darkness, the war horses neighed, and people stood up.
The long knives that flew in front of Yi Zhouwu were all in unison, and they all hit the air.
The long knife full of Dan strength was like walking in the void, Zhang Zhongdao struck with all his strength, Yi Zhouwu didn't dare to pick up its edge, sideways to avoid it, a horse stood behind him, the knife fell to the ground, and caused a burst of flying dust.
The Jingwei on the seat didn't have time to dodge, the long knife pierced through his chest, and he looked down, the long knife had already penetrated into his body, and a puddle of blood shot out in his eyes. I felt that my chest was open, and everything flowed from there. He fell to the ground.
The long knife was coherent, and the three horses and four people finally inserted it in the chest of a horse.
Zhang Zhongdao's blood and qi surged, and he slashed all his Dan breath with one sword, and quickly fell to the ground, but saw a ghostly figure behind him, decorated with a long knife like light smoke, and shot towards Yi Zhouwu.
The Jingwei who stood in front of Yi Zhouwu was intimidated by the long knife, and before he knew it, the heads of more than ten people were all crushed by the black shadow.
The black shadow pounced on Yi Zhouwu's side, slashed the double iron halberd behind him with his backhand, and attacked fiercely. Yi Zhouwu didn't have time to pull out his weapon, but he couldn't retreat, and when he retreated, he was attacked and killed by Xu Jingcheng's continuous death intent, and he broke the force with his strength, and pointed at the tip of the halberd, Dan Jin poured into the tip of the halberd, and cut it on another iron halberd with one palm, swinging it away.
The two forces struck each other in the iron halberd, and with a loud "bang", the iron halberd was not resistant to Dan Jin, turned into iron powder, and scattered. Xu Jingcheng was shocked by the huge force and bounced into the air, leaving only a trace of his shadow. Yi Zhouwu stepped off his mount and fell to the ground suddenly, a mass of flesh and blood. The shadow in mid-air was suddenly magnified, with the halberd in front, followed by a pair of ghostly eyes that encompassed heaven and earth, but the colossal body hidden behind the eyes could not be seen.
Yi Zhou Wu Shicai had no intention of having a heart, and he suffered more secret losses than Xu Jingcheng, and now seeing his aggressive momentum, he still borrowed a little bit of swooping power, how to eat this secret loss again, his body fell backwards, and he avoided Zhang Yu in an instant.
Xu Jingcheng saw that this move was difficult, and the void struck, and Dan Jin slashed out, tearing through the space-like weird roar. Yi Zhouwu flirted with his hand, and at the edge of his hand, a strange light flashed.
Xu and Yi both spurted out mouthfuls of blood.
When the Jingwei saw Xu Jingcheng landing, they surrounded them together and stabbed them.
Arrows flew in the crowd on the side of the road, two stones and five strong crossbows, Jingwei and horses fell to the ground one after another, neighing with blood, and neighing from horses.
More than 20 outcast warriors rushed into Jingwei like a storm. More than 100 city patrol soldiers rushed together to help fight the enemy, but their strength was too weak, and in less than a moment, one person was knocked away and fell on Yi Zhouwu's side.
Yi Zhouwu didn't have time to see the soldier's situation, and his strength was all over the sky. Yi Zhouwu snorted coldly, this also wants to hurt me. He didn't lift his head and raised his hands to the top, his body was short, and his feet were a foot to the ground. This is a sand and gravel horse road, and the person who came is a first-grade master. Yi Zhou arbitrarily shouted: "If I die, I will destroy Xun Envoy." ”
Seeing him say this, Xun Da no longer dared to stand idly by, with one arm, the Zhanlu sword scabbard shot towards Xi Daoning in the air, and a Zhanlu sword turned into an ink-colored dragon and wrapped around Xi Daoning.
The homeless warriors fought with the city patrol soldiers, and the city patrol soldiers were defeated and retreated to the inner line. Jingwei was injured a lot by a burst of arrows from the outcast warriors, but after all, he was the elite of the Yi tribe who had been trained for a long time, and he recovered his combat strength in a moment, replacing the remaining more than 20 city patrol soldiers to the inner line, and stood up to withstand the attack of the outcast warriors.
The killing machine suddenly appeared, and no one believed that it was behind him, and before he could look back, the only remaining thirty-six Jingwei servants fell in a pool of blood.
Yi Zhouwu took a few steps forward and shouted, "Who are you?" ”
A city patrol soldier replied, "I'm Shao Haitang. "Anyway, the giant palm full of Dan strength is this day to cover Yi Zhouwu, Yi Zhouwu has no way to retreat, connecting the sixteen palms, only to feel a suffocation in the chest, and a mouthful of blood spurting out.
"I'm Xu Jingcheng." After all, it was the ghostly eyes that filled his field of vision, and he didn't tolerate anything else. An iron halberd pressed like a mountain.
Don't die, don't leave any strength left, is it that I, Yi Zhouwu, am afraid of you. Hua Xu Dan breath was fully operational, Yi Zhouwu overflowed with dark purple light, and where he stepped on, the space suddenly distorted, releasing countless dark energy.
Xun Da was shocked: "You are not strong enough, you are good at using this realm, and you are not afraid of losing your life." ”
Yi Zhouwu said with a hideous face: "Wait until you live to live this time." ”
Shao Haitang and Xu Jingcheng knew that Yi Zhou Wuqiang urged Xuanxu Dan to breathe, and his power increased suddenly, but it did not last, Yi Chongwu was galloping to help, he only needed to survive this moment. There is no way to retreat, even if they are all killed, they will also force Yi Zhouwu to die violently. Shao and Xu combined their palms and halberds to attack Yi Zhouwu, and with each blow, the light on Yi Zhouwu's body dimmed by a point, but Shao and Xu's offensive was even weaker.
Yi Chongwu shouted from afar: "Don't hurt my father." ”
Shao and Xu felt exhausted, and all the pill breath in their bodies had been exhausted. Zhang Zhongdao recovered most of his breath, shot out from the side of the road, and attacked Yi Zhouwu. Yi Zhouwu took a step back and took nine steps back, and Yi Chongwu flew to take over Zhang Zhongdao's attack.
Yi Zhouwu was extremely weak, but there was a joy of rebirth that filled his chest, laughed, and shouted, "Who will kill me?" Who's going to kill me? ”
Before the words fell, he suddenly felt that the starry sky above the night was flowing behind him, and the deep and clear starry sky turned into a human figure and stood behind him, Yi Zhouwu turned to look, but saw endless dazzling meteors attacking him, and heard clearly in his ears: "I'll kill you." ”
Yi Zhouwu said leisurely: "Starry Sky Ge, Shocking Spear, who are you?" ”
"Xu Ruyu."
Endless meteors poured into one place, thunder flashed, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and the light clouds in the sky were shaken away, revealing a charming starry sky. The dragon's chant sounded, the thick clouds surged, the four came together, the electric trail swam, and with a "snap", a thunderbolt knocked down a giant locust tree.
Xu Ruyu suddenly came back to his senses and shouted: "Yi Zhouwu is dead." The Qingzhou army suddenly fell into chaos.
