Xu Ruyu took advantage of the guards in the court to patrol to the distance, quickly clinging to the trunk of the tree and falling to the ground silently, floating over the courtyard wall as high as Zhang Yu, wanting to dive to the west city, behind him "pong" a soft call, turned around and saw a figure is floating out of his own wall, the body is fluttering, if it is not for his vision beyond the limit of light and dark, he will definitely treat it as a bird, but he feels that the body method, very familiar, the person turned his head in the air, so that the lights in the house reflected on his face.

"Yikes." Xu Ruyu exclaimed in a low voice, hurriedly stepped into the cloud technique, met the man, hugged his shoulder, and said, "Zhongdao, you also came to Yizhou, why didn't I find you just now?" "The person who came was Zhang Zhongdao who came from Wanling.

Zhang Zhongdao said: "I was already lying on the ridge of the side hall, watching you come out of the inner mansion, for fear of alarming Yi Zhouwu, so I didn't greet you." Hey, your cultivation is so diligent, hidden above the giant locust, even if I know that you are hiding in it, I can't feel a trace of your breath. ”

Xu Ruyu briefly told Zhong Dao about the cultivation of Panmu Boxing, and said: "I will tell you the essence of Panmu Boxing, Shao Haitang is not bad, let's go and help him." ”

Zhang Zhongdao said coldly: "In order to get out, he did not hesitate to destroy the Xicheng house, I think he is very limited." ”

Xu Ruyu thought that he might have caused Shao Haitang to leak his whereabouts because of himself, and he couldn't help it, but he never thought of this, and when he heard Zhang Zhongdao say this, he was stunned and felt that it was also, but Shao Haitang was his father's deceased after all, and he was worried about his safety, but it was inconvenient to say to Zhang Zhongdao, in fact, Chen Ang had told Zhang Zhongdao about his life experience, but he didn't know.

Xu Ruyu said: "I don't know how many people came over from Wanling this time? ”

Zhang Zhongdao replied: "Coupled with the people and horses who were originally lurking in Yizhou, there are more than 100 people who are like the good hands of Qingfeng Camp Jingwei. ”

Xu Ruyu said "oh", looked at Zhang Zhongdao, and said, "The Tairu Xi family and the Biling Wei family have been attached to Wanling?" "Xu Ruyu knows that all the good hands in Wanling are filled into the various armies, and last year, in order to maintain Xu Ruyu's safety on the battlefield, Chen Ang recruited good hands to form the Qingfeng Battalion Jingwei, and there are only eighteen people, and now he can gather more than 100 masters at once, of course, there are strong reinforcements to join.

Zhang Zhongdao smiled: "I can't hide anything from you." The Xi and Wei families took refuge in Wanling, and the situation was no longer able to allow them to maintain their reading power. ”

Xu Ruyu thought to himself: After this East China Sea crisis, the biggest benefit is Wanling, then Yongyang will also be forced to be a minister, a county in the East China Sea will be returned to the Chen family, my father did not want to see the situation more than ten years ago, but I inadvertently contributed to it, even if my father-in-law did not want to get involved in the chaos of the world, I am afraid that he will not be able to help him.

Xu Ruyu sighed slightly, thinking that Xun Da had said that Yi Zhouwu's cultivation of the Huaxu Sutra had gone wrong, but he had not heard his father-in-law Wu Chu introduce this kind of exercise, and he didn't know the details, so he asked, "What kind of exercise is the Huaxu Sutra?" ”

Zhang Zhongdao replied: "I don't know, but looking at Yi Zhouwu's cultivation, it may be a technique from the Western Earth Tantra." ”

Xu Ruyu said: "I have carefully observed his physiognomy, Hua Xu Sutra should be from the Shaoyin into the Taiyin, reverse at least Yang, and then enter the sun's cultivation technique, Yi Zhou Wu should be in the Taiyin reversal of the Shaoyang, so there are hidden bruises on the face, and there are burning marks on the hands of the Taiyin Lung Sutra. ”

Zhang Zhongdao said: "I can't see it as clearly as you can. Orr, laughed, and said: "Yi Zhouwu is the most jealous of women now, but he has sixteen beautiful concubines who are like flowers and jade, I am afraid that he is struggling very much in his heart." ”

Xu Ruyu and Zhang Zhongdao walked while talking, and came to the front of the deep courtyard of a high-rise house. Xu Ru saw that there were two one-person-high stone beasts squatting in front of the door, and the owner of this house was a businessman. Zhang Zhongdao knocked lightly on the door, and in a moment the peephole opened the door, revealing a head, and the man saw that it was Zhang Zhongdao and said, "Zhang Ye is back." "Then go back and open the side door.

Zhang Zhongdao entered the door and asked, "Master Xi and Master Wei, have they come back?" ”

The man replied, "They are all waiting for Master Zhang in the hall." ”

Zhang Zhongdao led Xu Ruyu straight to the hall of the middle hall. More than ten people were already waiting there, and Chen Jingzong, the head of the eighteen elite guards of the Qingfeng Battalion, was impressively in it.

Chen Jingzong saw Xu Ruyu walking behind Zhang Zhongdao, suspected of hallucination, rubbed his eyes and looked again, it was really him, knelt on the ground, and said excitedly: "Jingzong has seen General Qingfeng. Six of the Wanling masters also recognized Xu Ruyu and knelt on the ground together.

The Wei and Xi families have heard of Xu Ruyu's reputation, and at this time they saw that he was only a weak crown year, young and old Ge Yi, but his demeanor was elegant and natural, and he had everyone's demeanor. The Xi and Wei families have been attached to Wanling, and although Xu Ruyu has left Wanling, Chen Ang has not relieved him of his generals, so they also came to see him together.

Xu Ruyu saw that the two people behind him gave their hands to each other, and in his impression that there were no these two in the Wanling Commandery, he knew that he was the master of the Xi and Wei families, so he returned the salute one by one, looked at Zhang Zhongdao and said, "Please introduce Zhongdao on your behalf." ”

Zhang Zhongdao led Xu Ruyu and walked towards the hall, pointing to a tall, bald middle-aged man and introduced: "Okita commands Xi Daoning, and he is the number one sword master in the East China Sea. He also pointed to the young man in the high-crowned blue shirt and jade face beside him and said: "Xinzi controls Wei Shuwei, and he is the younger brother of Wei Boya, the head of the Wei clan. Immediately, he introduced the two generals of the seat and Wei one by one.

Xu Ruyu bowed his hands one by one, thinking: Okita and Xinzi are under the control of the Baishi Army, and most of the generals of Xi and Wei are vain, no wonder they can get out and come to Yizhou to assassinate. Seeing that Xi Daoning was less than fifty years old, the essence in his eyes was faint, and he was rushing and condensing, and the Dan Breath Technique had already entered the innate realm; Uncle Wei stood to the side, his breath was heavy, and he didn't see any interruptions, seeing that he was also one in ten thousand.

Zhang Chongdao invited Xu Ruyu to sit down, told everyone about the situation that was happening in Xicheng at this time, and said: "The chaos in Yizhou City has started, and we are acting on the right side, how do you think it will be arranged?" ”

Uncle Wei said: "I'm afraid that Yi Zhouwu's guards are more strict now, how to start?" ”

Xi Daoning bowed his head slightly and said, "There is always a time when the tight bowstring is relaxed, and then we will give him a fatal blow." ”

Uncle Wei asked rhetorically, "How can we grasp this fleeting opportunity?" Xi Ye is confident, please come and let me wait to hear it. ”

Xi Daoning smiled slightly and said: "Wei Gongzi is clever and clever, which round of me will be ugly?" ”

Uncle Wei was slightly suffocated, his heart was empty, but he didn't want to show weak words to Dao Ning, so he kept silent. Xi Daoning laughed and said, "General Qingfeng is here, you and I don't have to work hard." ”

Xu Ruyu said secretly: If you are old and annihilated, if the Wei and Xi families want to re-emerge in the East China Sea, they must rely on the power of the Chen family, and the relationship between the two families is very delicate.

Xu Ru smiled and said: "I have just come to Yizhou, and I am not familiar with the situation of the Yi people, so I am waiting for you to see you." But seeing Zhang Zhongdao squeezing his eyes and smiling at himself, he didn't want to waste time for everyone's scheming, and continued: "Yi Zhouwu sent people to intercept Shao Haitang and others on the main road outside Xicheng, Shao Haitang may break through from Xicheng, or he may remain in Xicheng without moving. Xicheng is close to the Yimeng Mountains, the terrain is complex, and the mountains, rocks, grass and trees are interconnected, even if Shao Haitang does not escape from Xicheng immediately, he will first send people there to attract the attention of the Yizhou army. Zhongdao, how many troops are there in Yizhou? ”

Zhang Zhongdao said: "There are about 12,000 people. ”

Chen Jingzong had already spread out the topographic map of Yizhou on the long case in the hall, and said: "The appropriate scouts have reported that Yi Zhouwu has sent a battalion of elite soldiers to defend each of these three places to strictly prevent chaos in the western city. ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Jingzong, you lead twenty people to dress up as a gang member of the Longxing Society, assist Shao Haitang to disturb the enemy army in Yimeng Mountain, and make sure that the enemy believes that Shao Haitang wants to enter the mountain from the West Gate. General Wei, please lead thirty people to set fire to Yi Zhouwu's houses and shops in various parts of the city, leave the city from the west gate as soon as possible, wait in Yimeng Mountain for three days, and if there is no news, return to Wanling immediately, and let the commander send another person. ”

Chen Jingzong asked, "Do we want to incite the people gathered at the West City Gate to flee to the mountains?" ”

Xu Ruyu said: "No need, we have to help Shao Haitang, and we also want him to help us." Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Xu Ruyu explained: "The more chaotic it is, the more beneficial it is for Shao Haitang, but it may not be beneficial to us." Yi Zhouwu will only go out in person when the situation still seems to be under his control. We're going to do everything we can to create that. ”

Zhang Zhongdao said: "The master of Shao Haitang's escort must be the elite of the Xiangfan Society, unless a master like Yi Zhouwu is in charge in person, he will have full confidence that Shao Haitang will be arrested or killed, if the situation is too chaotic, Yi Zhouwu will not dare to dispatch easily." Thou fool, where shall we ambush him? ”

Xu Ruyu looked at everyone and asked, "Where will Yi Zhouwu go first when he returns from Xishan?" ”

Xi Daoning said: "Yi Zhouwu and Xun Da will go together to take Shao Haitang, and when they return, they should send Xun Da to the post house first." ”

Zhang Zhongdao asked, "What about coming out of the post house?" ”

When Xu Ruyu saw him ask, he understood what he was worried about. Yi Zhou Wuxiu has the demeanor of a grandmaster, Xun Da is also a first-grade master, only Xi Daoning has reached the first-grade level, and he and Zhongdao are still slightly behind the first-grade. Leading the remaining fifty good men to inflict heavy damage and even kill Yi Zhouwu before the reinforcements from Yizhou arrived. If Xun Da was not present, Xi Daoning and Zhong Dao would attack Yi Zhou, and he would have the hope of success by attacking the wonderful Dan Jin of the magic trick of "Starry Sky Fragrance", so Zhang Zhongdao opened his mouth to ask Yi Zhouwu and Xun Da about the route after they separated.

Xu Ruyu said lightly: "Qingzhou is divided, Fen County has benefited a lot, as long as we control the attack on the people of Qingzhou, Xun Da may not fish in the water, but it is necessary to stand by and watch." ”

Zhang Zhongdao asked again: "The situation will definitely be chaotic and different, how can we be sure that Xun Da can distinguish the situation?" ”

Uncle Wei said slightly: "Can you inform Xun Da in advance?" ”

Zhang Zhongdao said categorically: "No, if he doesn't have confidence in our assassination this time, maybe he will sell us to Yi Zhouwu as a favor." ”

Xu Ruyu said: "It's useless to talk more, it's still early, Jingzong and General Wei will go first, I, Zhongdao and General Xi will go to Xicheng to find out, and the rest of us will recuperate here and wait for orders." ”

Everyone didn't have much confidence in this assassination, but since Xu Ruyu arrived, the situation has changed, and the generals of Wanling know his ability, and their morale has been greatly boosted, and the masters of Xi and Wei have also been affected by Wanling's high morale and cheered up. In addition, tonight is a good opportunity, and I don't want to miss it.

The two sides of the road from the post house to the west city are planted with giant acacia, it is the spring of the first year, the smoke wind has just blown through the Huaishui to reach the territory of Qingzhou, the leaves are new, and they have not yet flourished.

Xi Daoning leaned over Xu Ruyu and said in a low voice: "The leaves here are sparse and dense, which is not conducive to hiding, nor is it conducive to attacking from afar with heavy weapons." ”

Xu Ruyu nodded silently, agreeing with his feelings.

Zhang Zhongdao said: "Before dawn, the stars are hidden, and the enemy is holding the fire in the light, so it is not so easy to find that there are people hidden in the trees. ”

Xu Ruyu said slowly: "Zhongdao's momentum is too strong, so you will be the main general of the attack, and General Xi and I will pretend to be ordinary masters and sneak to Yi Zhouwu's side, so that we can take advantage of it." ”

This road leads straight to Xicheng, and every other section is guarded by a team of Qingzhou soldiers. Xu Ruyu's heart moved, and said: "Yes, Zhong Dao and General Xi led people to kill one of the Qingzhou troops, replace them with our people, and ambush a team of strong crossbowmen not far in front to attract the attention of Yi Zhouwu and his generals." ”

Xi Daoning asked, "Where does Xu Ru want to go?" ”

Xu Ruyu said: "I'll explore Xicheng again to see if anything has changed." ”

Xu Ruyu separated from Zhang and Xi, dissolved his breath into the vast ancient trees, and sneaked around Xicheng. Xicheng is a poor household's residence, the houses are mostly simple wooden sheds, experiencing a rainless winter, very dry, several fires, by the wind, the whole Xicheng is instantly swept into a sea of fire.

The shack burned vigorously and quickly, and the fire gradually went out, except for a few embers that were licking the raging night in vain. The cold wind was blowing, and the charred ashes were curling wantonly on the long deserted street, and then blowing on the head and covering the face.

Xu Ruyu was too lazy to swing away the flying ashes, and let his eyes cover his face, and a gust of wind passed, and his body was densely covered with a layer of black ash, as if he had walked out of the fire. There are scorched corpses of cats and dogs struggling and deformed everywhere, and there are also people who have not escaped and died in the fire, and the charred corpses are lying on the threshold and on the long street, and they cannot distinguish between men and women, giving people a hideous and decorated feeling.

At this time, more than ten places in the eastern city rose at the same time. Xu Ruyu was suddenly taken aback, Fang Province had Wei Zongwei leading people to set fire to Dongcheng, and he couldn't help but worry that he might not only burn the Yi family's property as he ordered.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound in front of him, and the clothes drove the wind, and more than a dozen people came at a very fast speed. Xu Ruyu was sad just now, lost his soul for a while, and failed to notice the abnormality in time, and when he wanted to avoid it, more than ten people had appeared in front of him.

One person turned over his hand and stabbed with a halberd, and the other shouted in the back: "Jing Cheng stop." ”

Xu Ruyu saw Shao Ruyan and Ye Pianhong in that group of people, and thought: The people Yi Zhouwu and Xun Da are looking for are here.

Xu Jingcheng put away the halberd when he heard the sound, looked at a Confucian scholar, and said, "Mr. Shao, he may have leaked our whereabouts." ”

Mr. Shao walked to the forefront, the more he was not confused, the white face was slightly bearded, wrapped in a Confucian turban, his eyes were as clear as the abyss of the abyss, and the heroic posture of the plump spirit between the pitches was elegant, as if facing the wind and the abyss, but it gave people the feeling of standing behind the world, and it was difficult to hide his lonely and depressed expression. Xu Ruyu said secretly: It's really Uncle Shao.

Shao Haitang held Xu Jingcheng's hand and said: "I don't know how many innocent people's lives were implicated in this fire, this brother has mercy on him for the rest of his life, so we don't want to act against the sky anymore." ”

Xu Ruyu thought to himself that when they saw that they were covered with ashes, they only thought that they were poor people for the rest of their lives in the sea of fire.

Xu Jingcheng shook off Shao Haitang's hand and said hatefully: "How can this thief have mercy on the world, Mr.'s thoughtfulness is related to the life of tens of thousands of brothers in my Xiangfan Society. ”

Xu Ruyu laughed, his eyes crossed Xu Jingcheng, and Shao Haitang's gaze was in one place, and they felt each other's clear eyes like a deep pool, deep and clear, full of vitality, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Xu Ruyu wiped off the dust on his face, revealing his true face, fearless of Xu Jingcheng's murderous intentions, and calmly faced everyone's eyes.

Shao Ruyan exclaimed: "It's you." ”

Ye Pianhong said: "He is the one who detains Ruyan. ”

Xu Jingcheng said: "Who are you? ”

Shao Haitang surpassed Xu Jingcheng, came to Xu Ruyu's face, and asked, "Visitors from the East China Sea, Xinghua old people?" ”

Xu Ruyu reached the ground for a long time, and said in a throat: "Bayang was killed, my father asked me to forget my hatred, and my current name is Ruyu." In just a few words, he told Shao Haitang the reason why he hid his life experience.

Shao Haitang put his arm around his shoulder and said, "When the East China Sea came, I vaguely guessed that I would send a letter to Kou Zichan to Wanling to find out, and you have already left Wanling." ”

Xu Ruyu said: "The details will be told later, the Yizhou army will enter Xicheng from time to time to collect claims.

Shao Haitang took Xu Jingcheng's hand, pulled him in front of Xu Ruyu, and said, "This is Xu Jingcheng, the first brave general of my Xiangfan Association." He also introduced Xu Ruyu to Xu Jingcheng and said: "He is Xu Ruyu, the general of Qingfeng." ”

Everyone changed color when they heard the words, and the two places were the most lively today, one was the invasion of the Huo family in Jinyang County, and the other was the joint invasion of the East China Sea by the three families of Qingzhou, Baishi and Puji.

Jingjun is close to Nanping, the new dynasty in order to prevent the Yuan family from re-emerging from Nanping, will be dozens of meritorious ministers to live in the land of Jingchu, but this emerging force in the land of Jingchu and the original family contradictions, by the Yuan family divided and used, each other conquest endlessly, under the exquisite control of the Nanping regime, no one can stand alone, rise in the land of Jingchu, the powerful is only a yi, the weak only one dock, so outsiders call the heads of the Jingchu families "dock masters", the Huo family invades the scattered dock forts with the power of a county, Since it is what Bing Ge is pointing to, it is invincible. Until a month ago, nearly 100 dock lords in Jingnan formed an alliance, and the Huo family occupied Jingbei and distributed too many troops, which delayed the offensive of the Huo family's army.

However, the joint invasion of the East China Sea by Qingzhou, Yongning Baishi, and Puji was extremely thrilling. First of all, Yongyang rebelled against the alliance, and the Baishi and Qingzhou armies quickly attacked Tairu and Biling, and trapped the whole territory, leaving only a lonely city Tairu hanging in the enemy's territory, and the troops pressed the territory of Wanling, and everyone felt that Wanling was in danger. At this time, Xu Ruyu led the Qingfeng battalion to rise in Wanling, first retreated 20,000 elite soldiers from Baishi with 600 elite cavalry, relieved the siege of Qichuan City, and then recaptured the 12th Lianbao of Qichuan, forcing tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Baishi to the first line of Yiyang, and was not allowed to peep north into Wanling. Later, he defeated 70,000 elite soldiers in Qingzhou and forced Yi Zhouwu to change his generals. The combat power of the Wanling armies became stronger and stronger, and it was rumored that Xu Ruyu reformed the military system. In late October of the previous year, he left a book to break the enemy's strategy and left the East China Sea, and he did not know where to go. In the middle of last year, Puji suddenly landed in the East China Sea and attacked Yongyang with the Baishi Army, and Su helped Jiang Lingtian rise in Yongyang, which was rumored to be Xu Ruyu's work to break the enemy's strategy. Therefore, Xu Ruyu was in the East China Sea for just half a year, and he was short-lived, but he was like a superstar hanging in the sky, and the light of the generals in the East China Sea was all covered by him.

It is rumored all over the world that he has a dark purple scar on the left side of his face, a magnificent body, a handsome appearance, and a terrifying momentum. Now, the legendary figure appeared in front of him, and he was unexpectedly young, his clothes were gray, his face was dirty, his eyes were dark, and he did not have the subtle luster of a martial artist at all, and Zhou's body did not overflow with essence to form a unique momentum, and he suddenly met only as a poor man who had just been born from the sea of fire.

Xu Jingcheng and Shao Haitang now naturally see that he Xu Ru is foolish to reach the realm of the gods and the spirit of introverted, and it is even more rare that he gives people a mysterious feeling of dissolving in all things, Xu Jingcheng secretly said: His cultivation is still a line worse than himself, and the realm of "Dao" has been able to "enter the mysteries", much higher than me, it seems that his prestige is not half empty.

Xu Ruyu arched his hand and said: "I have admired Brother Xu's name for a long time." ”

Xu Jingcheng bowed his hand and returned the salute and said: "Xu someone's reputation is far as loud as General Bu Qingfeng. ”

Xu Ruyu saw that he spoke coldly, and secretly rejected people, so he didn't annoy him, smiled faintly, and said: "Everyone has fulfilled Ru Yu and pushed all the credit to Ru Yu's head, and Ru Yu is very ashamed in his heart. ”

Xu Jingcheng smiled coldly and didn't answer him. Xu Ruyu saw that he had just contradicted Shao Haitang at will, knowing that he was this kind of surname, he didn't care, smiled sincerely, and then saluted the others.

Shao Ruyan originally wanted to rely on people to get out of the evil spirit that was detained by him, but now that she sees her father being kind to him, she seems to have known each other for a long time, and she knows that it is not possible to rely on others. I walked up to him, opened my eyes, and exclaimed, "You really have a scar on the left side of your face." ”

The scar on his face was still left by the injury under Qi Chuan Chengxia last year, and after a few months, it has been very faint, and the torch light is weak, and it is not easy to see if you don't look carefully.

Shao Ruyan is now back in women's clothes, her hair is knotted into dozens of thin braids and formed into a bunch on the top of her head, forming a prosperous hair crown, and several jade pendants are inserted horizontally. Xu Ruyu looked at it and said secretly: When you grow up, you must be the master of the city and the country.
