Chapter 0022: Rite of Advancement
Without waiting for the two boats to get closer, the twelve black-clothed men spread their wings like a flock of black eagles and took off, they jumped onto the big boat, and immediately divided their troops into two ways, three of them went to strangle Yang Xuangan's personal soldiers, and the remaining nine surrounded Yang Xuangan and Zhang Xuan who were standing at the bow of the boat.
At this time, dozens of ships loaded with Yuwenshu and the Sui army were killing Yang Xuangan's big ship, Yuwenshu also saw the situation on the ship, he was shocked, Xuanwu Huofeng actually took the lead.
Yu Wenshu was angry and anxious, and yelled: "Speed up!" ”
........
Yang Xuangan walked in a very hurry, he didn't even have time to take the horse lance and war horse, and threw it in the valley, there was only a long sword beside him, he looked at these black-clothed people with the hilt of the sword, and couldn't help sneering, "It turned out to be the head of Xuanwu, and twelve people were sent, Dou Lao'er really looked up to me Yang Xuangan." ”
He slowly pulled out his long sword, "Zhang Zhongjian, you are not my opponent, get out of the boat for me." ”
Zhang Xuan was shocked, he knew who this Xuanwu killer was, the bearded guest, the head of the famous Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
It's just that how can he be a Xuanwu killer? Dedicated to the Guanlong aristocracy, Zhang Xuan was puzzled.
Zhang Zhongjian snorted his halberd and said coldly: "I'm not your opponent on the battlefield?" But on the boat, you are far behind, Yang Xuangan, since you don't know how to water, you still have to escape by boat, how unwise! ”
At this time, Zhang Xuan found that the woman recognized him, and when he saw that she was about to open his mouth to scold himself, he was in a hurry, and roared without thinking, jumped high, and slashed the face of the bearded man with the war knife in his hand.
Zhang Zhongjian's kung fu was, his eyes were like lightning, and he immediately found that the other party had at least seven loopholes, each of which was enough to kill him.
He was about to stab the hole under Zhang Xuan's left rib, and Zhang Chuchen next to him reminded in a low voice: "Senior brother, he is that Zhang Xuan." ”
Zhang Zhongjian suddenly remembered that Zhang Xuan was the person that the master of the meeting fancied, his mind was extremely fast, he turned the stab into a block, poured force into his arms, and the double halberd blocked Zhang Xuan's full force.
Just listen to 'When!' With a loud bang, Zhang Xuan felt an incomparably huge force coming towards him, lost sensation in his arms, and flew off his hand with a horizontal knife and fell into the river.
He was unsteady on his feet, took a dozen steps back, and slammed his back on the side of the ship, only to feel a sweet throat, a mouthful of blood spurted out, pinched his chest, and curled up in pain.
"Humph! The light of the fireflies also dares to compete with the bright moon? ”
Zhang Zhongjian snorted coldly, with this little bit of martial arts, he also wanted to compete with himself, he suddenly despised Zhang Xuan a little in his heart, and said to Yang Xuan: "Yang Shangshu, please go on the road!" ”
Yang Xuangan didn't notice that they actually knew Zhang Xuan, but he recognized Zhang Chuchen, and immediately gritted his teeth and said angrily: ", are you here to kill me too?" ”
Although Zhang Zhuchen's father is not Yang Xuangan, she has been smart and lovely since she was a child, and she is deeply loved by Yang Xuangan and raised her until she was ten years old, but when she was eleven years old, Yang Xuangan was ordered by her father to clean up the slaves, but he did not miss the old feelings at all, and gave Zhang Zhuchen to Dou Qing as a martial maid.
Zhang Chuchen slowly lowered her head, although she resented Yang Xuangan in her heart for being ruthless to her, but Yang Xuangan had nurtured herself after all, her courage disappeared, and she retreated step by step.
Yang Xuan said coldly: "I know that white-eyed wolves can't be raised, I'd rather raise a dog!" ”
"Shut up!"
Zhang Zhongjian said angrily: "Do you think I don't know what kind of heart you raised to raise the dust? Which of the other maids who were raised by you with Chuchen was not ruined by you, Chuchen fortunately went to Dou Mansion to keep his innocence, you are a merciless person, you used the lives of thousands of soldiers to cover your escape, what face do you have to accuse others! ”
Yang Xuan was furious, and stabbed at Zhang Zhongjian with his sword, 'Dang! With a bang, Zhang Chuchen made a move to block Yang Xuangan's sword, and she said angrily: "Izumi and Izumo committed suicide with hatred, could it be you-"
Yang Xuangan did not deny it, he sneered and said: "Pigs always have to be killed when they are raised, otherwise what are you going to do, if it weren't for my father's insistence on putting you on the list, do you think you can escape my hands?" ”
"You!"
Zhang Zhuchen was extremely angry, and stabbed with his sword, but Yang Xuangan was motionless, looked at her coldly and said: "Even if you kill me, as long as you ignore the grace of raising, you can get this hand!" ”
'Dangchang! ’
Zhang Chuchen's sword couldn't be pierced halfway, and the long sword fell on the deck, and she was in great pain, she couldn't imagine that the person she and her sisters regarded as their father was actually a beast.
But another thing that she never dreamed of happened, Yang Xuangan suddenly made a move, he was extremely fast, and grabbed Zhang Zhuchen, this was the opportunity he created, he just wanted to disturb Zhang Chuchen's mind and take her hostage.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, Zhang Zhongjian has long been on guard against Yang Xuangan's move, the halberd flashed, like lightning and fire, Yang Xuangan's hand that grabbed Zhang Chuchen disappeared suddenly, and his wrist was cut off by the halberd blade.
Zhang Zhongjian was merciless, and another halberd slashed towards Yang Xuangan's neck.
Yang Xuan screamed in pain, almost fainting, but he was still sane, seeing that the halberd was about to slash his neck, he turned to one side, and the sword in his right hand stabbed Zhang Wuchen's left chest, he was betting that Zhang Zhongjian would not die without help.
Sure enough, Zhang Zhongjian let go of Yang Xuangan's neck, he closed the halberd sideways, blocking Yang Xuangan's sword stabbing at Zhang Chuchen, the angle was extremely accurate, and the double halberd was impartial and just clamped Yang Xuangan's long sword, and his wrist flipped over, 'Click! He wrangled his sword into three.
Yang Xuangan waved his hand, and the hilt of the sword smashed towards the door in front of him, Zhang Zhongjian dodged the blow with his head sideways, but at this moment, Yang Xuangan let out a long laugh and jumped backwards into the river.
Zhang Zhongjian found that Zhang Xuan next to him was gone, he secretly screamed in his heart, and rushed forward, only to see that Zhang Xuan was already waiting in the river, and when Yang Xuangan fell into the water, he also dived into the water.
Zhang Zhongjian's mind was on his junior sister, he didn't notice Zhang Xuan, and he didn't hear what Zhang Xuan said, but Yang Xuangan heard it, Zhang Xuan left a sentence when he turned over the side of the boat, 'I will answer in the water!' ’
Although Yang Xuangan didn't know water, he knew that this might be the last ray of life that God gave him.
It's a pity that he never dreamed that God sent Zhang Xuan to him, which was the will of God, and Zhang Xuan's name said everything: add a blade to Xuan.
Zhang Zhongjian's eyes widened suddenly, he saw a stream of red blood coming out of the river, he suddenly understood, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you!"
Zhang Chuchen rushed over, she looked at the river, and was stunned, how could this be?
Zhang Zhongjian sighed softly, his arm hung down weakly, and the two halberds fell on the deck, this was the first time in his life that he failed, and he was defeated by a nameless boy.
What made him even more unacceptable was that he clearly guessed that Zhang Xuan was also here to assassinate Yang Xuangan, but he still succeeded because of his light enemy, that blow, Zhang Xuan had seven points of truth, but he had three points of pretending, and he successfully deceived himself with a tragic situation.
An hour later, Yu Wenshu's soldiers scooped up Yang Xuangan's headless corpse, plus Yang Xuangan's horse lance and war horse, Yu Wenshu could barely make an account to Yang Guang.
.........
Luoxia Plain, the western suburb of Luoyang, which belongs to the periphery of the royal garden, has a radius of dozens of miles, ordinary people can cultivate here, but they are not allowed to fish and hunt, and they are not allowed to pick wood, and there are large forests and vast fields in the distance.
On this morning, a cavalry team galloped across the field, most of them cavalry in armor, but there were also a dozen palace guards in silver-rimmed brocade robes in the middle.
The leader was a young man, he wore a golden crown on his head, black scale armor, a scarlet cloak tied behind him, a bow in his hand, a pure sword inlaid with gold silk at his waist, a white cloud horse in his crotch, and a quiver on his saddle, which made him even more heroic.
His grandfather Yang Guang also encouraged him to practice riding and archery, so as to cultivate his strong physique and strong will, and almost every few days he would spare an hour to go out for horseback riding, perhaps to practice riding archery, or shooting deer and falcon.
"Your Highness, the hour is coming, let's go back!" One of the guards reminded him loudly.
Yang Qi reined in the war horse and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, although he didn't find anything today, he had great self-control, and since the time was almost up, he decided to go back to study.
Just as he was about to turn his horse's head, he suddenly saw a man walk out of the woods a hundred paces ahead, waving at him, as if he was looking for something.
Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, and said left and right: "Bring me the person in front of me." ”
It is not surprising that there are farmers farming in Luoxiayuan, but ordinary people will stay away when they see them, and someone actually beckoned to His Royal Highness King Yan, which is still rare, and more than a dozen guards urged the horse to run towards the man in front.
This young man who waved to King Yan was naturally Zhang Xuan, he waited for two days, and finally waited for the opportunity today.
In a moment, more than a dozen cavalry rushed to surround Zhang Xuan, more than a dozen spears pointed at him, and the first lieutenant shouted and asked, "Who are you?" Why here? ”
Zhang Xuan put down the wooden box in his hand and arched his hand: "In the next Zhang Xuan, a native of Hanoi, I am here to offer a treasure to His Royal Highness King Yan." ”
At this time, Yang Qi also rode over, and a cavalryman whispered to him: "Your Highness, this person said that he came to offer a treasure to His Highness." ”
Yang Qi saw that he was tall and talented, and couldn't help but feel good, so he asked with a smile: "You man, what treasure do you offer to this king?" ”
"It's the treasure that His Highness wants, and it's in the wooden box."
Yang Qi was more interested, and said to his subordinates: "Open the box and take a look!" ”
The two horsemen carried the box, opened it on the side, and suddenly shouted in shock, "It's a human head!" ”
Everyone was shocked, and together they stretched their bows and strings, and dozens of sharp spears pressed against Zhang Xuan's chest and back, Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Isn't the human head a treasure?" ”
He said to Yang Qi again: "Your Highness, that's Yang Xuangan's head, isn't Your Highness interested?" ”
Yang Qi's face changed slightly, and he ordered: "Put down all the weapons!" ”
He urged his horse forward, looked at Zhang Xuan and asked, "How do you know that this king wants Yang Xuangan's head?" ”
"Twenty days ago, His Royal Highness sighed to King Yue in front of the city gate, and I just wanted to go and arrest Yang Xuangan in person and solve problems for the emperor's grandfather, but unfortunately I was born a few years late, and it was a coincidence that I was not far from His Royal Highness."
Yang Qi remembered, he had said this, just outside the Dingding Gate, he took a deep look at Zhang Xuan again, and drank the order, "Take him to my palace!" ”
The palace guards next to him were all startled, and one of the guards hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this person's origin is unknown, so you can't trust it easily." ”
"This king knows in his heart, I don't want you to teach me!"
Yang Qi glared at him fiercely, turned his horse's head and ran in the direction of the palace, shouting from afar: "Bring him along!" ”
The cavalry brought the wooden box and gave Zhang Xuan a horse, Zhang Xuan turned over and rode east with the cavalry, the reward of five thousand taels of gold did not mean anything to him, but Yang Qi, the king of Yan, was his opportunity, it depended on whether he could seize this opportunity.
