Chapter 2 Wuling Slave Hunting

Jimo Mingxi, now only called Mingxi, from a distance to see Liang Bao leading more than ten people from the ramp behind the mountain forest, each of them is stained with a large amount of blood, the last two mounts are empty, look at it, there are two people tied to the back Tuo back, look motionless, do not know whether to live or die.

Liang Bao saw the camp and knew that Mr. had arrived in Xuancheng in time, so his tense nerves slackened and he rolled off the horse. The knight behind him was also shaky, and he didn't expect Liang Bao to suddenly fall off the horse, and he couldn't control the momentum of the galloping horse, and stepped straight towards Liang Bao.

Liang Baoruo, who was seriously injured, stepped on this hoof, and his surname was worried. Meng Yi "duh" sound, straight to the horse's head, the horse was pierced into the ears by a sharp voice, such as a heavy blow, the front hooves were soft, rushed down, the knight on horseback pulled the horse to the right, can avoid Liang Bao fell to the ground.

Meng Yi picked up Liang Bao's body, put it on the horse's back, and spent his breath. Liang Bao's practice is also Biluo, although people fall into a coma, they still automatically induce Meng Yi's Dan breath to circulate in the body.

The fifteen men who accompanied him stopped their horses one after another, all suffering external injuries of varying severity, and finally two men who were tied to their horses, one of whom had his right arm hanging from his body, apparently useless, and the other had a bloodstain on his chest, and the expeditionary hand reached under his nose to try, and he was no longer breathing.

Three of the fifteen were not from the Blue Flame Army, but the injuries were the lightest, with only a slight bruise. Meng Yi didn't know what happened to Liang Bao and others in the mountains, so he ordered the three of them to be surrounded and asked his subordinates to help the others into the camp for treatment.

Xu Ruyu walked over, waved his hand to disperse, and said, "They are distinguished guests in the mountains, Ming Xi, help them into the camp to rest." Xu Ruyu saw that although they were not seriously injured, their faces were pale, their bodies were slightly haired, and they were on the verge of losing their strength.

Liang Bao led eighteen people into the mountain, and only eleven seriously injured people and one dead body returned. Xu Ruyu took Liang Bao from Meng Yi's hand, and found that there were no less than ten fatal wounds in front of and behind him, these wounds were roughly near the Zushao Yang Gut Sutra, and the ring jumping point was directly destroyed by the strong Dan Xi, it seems that there are not weak masters among the enemies that Liang Bao encountered.

Xu Ruyu said: "Someone has recovered his strength and asked him to come to the big tent to see me." With that, he hugged Liang Bao's body and walked straight into the camp.

When the crowd saw his voice was gloomy and cold, they knew that there was a fire in his heart. Liang Bao met him on the Huaishui, and later lived in seclusion in Yongyang with Shui Ruying and Sleeves, and had the deepest feelings for him, and now seeing that he only left his life and returned to the camp, how could he not be angry in his heart.

Xu Ruyu contemplated and comprehended, put the Dan breath into Liang Bao's body, and found that the injuries on his meridians were really concentrated on the Zu Shao Yang Bile Meridian, and the rotation of the Dan Xi was entered into his Zu Shao Yang Bile Meridian, and the breath passed through the meridians, and the situation in the meridians was as clear as the eyes could see. If it weren't for Liang Bao's practice of breathing boxing since he was a child, few people in his body could reach the pure place of Dan breath essence, he would have gone to Huangquan at this moment. Since he can get in front of Xu Ruyu, with Xu Ruyu's understanding of meridian injuries and healing ability, it is difficult for him to die.

After all, it is a lot of work to heal others. In the end, seeing that Liang Bao could unconsciously guide his Dan Xi to run the Yang Bile Sutra, Xu Ruyu knew that his life was saved. It's just that the ring jumping point is the most damaged, if there is innate vitality to treat, the effect is better, Xu Ruyu has the power to open up the two veins of Ren and Du for him, but it may not be beneficial to practice in the future by forcibly penetrating the two veins of Ren and Du with external force, Xu Ruyu dispelled this idea.

Someone was standing outside the tent, Xu Ruyu opened his eyes and said, "Uncle Yi, come in." With that, he spread Liang Bao flat on the carpet and turned around to stand up.

Meng Yi and Ming Xi led the three people who returned with Liang Bao and them into the camp. The man in the middle, about thirty years old, was short, and stood at Meng Yi's side and was half a head lower than him. looked calm, and Wei Dun's face couldn't hide the confidence and calmness in his eyes. The other two were half a step behind, apparently his escorts.

The man took a step forward, clenched his fists and said, "You are General Qingfeng, and if you can let my people work for you, you will definitely have something special." I am one of the seven leaders of Baiyi, called Zi Yangqiu. However, I was automatically relieved of my position as leader when I left the Peak, and unless I returned to the Peak safely, I wasn't worth a few dollars. His words are nothing more than provoking Xu Ruyu's scheming if he wants to detain him. He then said: "Liang Baosan looked for us at Cuishi Peak a few days ago, saying that General Qingfeng wanted to trade fairly with my Yi people. Do you know that we Yi people have not heard the word 'fair trade' from your Central Plains population for hundreds of years, no, no, no, I hear it often, I haven't seen it for hundreds of years. Although we live deep in the mountains, we have also heard of General Qingfeng's actions in recent years, what does General Qingfeng want to give up Yongyang's power to cover the sky and come to such barren mountains and mountains to trade fairly with our people? ”

Zi Yangqiu's words were sharp, but his tone was tactful, and although he was accused, he didn't feel a trace of unhappiness. Xu Ruyu said: "The matter of fair trade will be discussed later, and I now want to know what happened in the mountains to make Liang Bao and them suffer this heavy blow." ”

"Everyone in the mountains didn't believe that General Qingfeng would have a fair deal with my Yiren, but I came here to take a look with an attitude that I would rather believe it. Unexpectedly, when crossing Qingya Ridge, he met a slave hunting team. Liang Bao insisted that the three of us go first, and they led the men to fight the enemy fiercely behind. ”

"Slave hunters?" Xu Ruyu asked in surprise.

Ziyangqiu sighed: "The Puji bandits suffered a heavy blow in Donghai County, and began to plunder people in various coastal provinces, and the bandits of Qingjiang Mansion colluded with them, and formed slave hunting teams to enter the Wuling Mountains, plundered the people of Wuyi and sold them to Gongliang Youqin at a high price. The people of Iyi were forced to shrink their defensive line to survive in the vicinity of Cuishi Peak. ”

"Hmph." Xu Ruyu snorted coldly, looked at Zi Yangqiu with sharp eyes, and said, "The eighteen people led by Liang Bao are all the elite of our army, how could an ordinary slave hunting team attack them?" ”

Zi Yangqiu did not avoid Xu Ruyu's gaze, and said: "When we crossed Qingyaling, the slave hunting team was attacking a village hidden by our Yi people in Qingyaling, Liang Bao and they just deposited their horses there, Liang Bao couldn't see the evil deeds of the slave hunting team, and there was a fierce battle with the slave hunting team, but there were two hard hands in this slave hunting team, and everyone had to fight and escape. It won't take long for them to follow the trail to this place, and General Qingfeng is still on guard. ”

Zi Yangqiu naturally didn't need to lie, Xu Ruyu glanced at Meng Yi, saw Meng Yi nodded, knowing that there were other people who had recovered, confirming that what Zi Yangqiu said was true.

Xu Ruyu said: "There are dozens of grain boats moored in the Lishui River, presumably Mr. Ziyang saw it, I originally wanted to trade fairly with you Yiren, but now the incident of the slave hunting team has made me change my mind." ”

The mountains are embarrassed, and they are in great need of food to survive the difficult spring moon in front of them, even though the clansmen have many doubts about General Qingfeng's intentions, they finally decided to let him, one of the seven leaders, come to contact Xu Ruyu in person, which shows how important this matter is. Now seeing that Xu Ruyu suddenly changed his mind, Zi Yangqiu couldn't help but be surprised, and he couldn't care about hiding the embarrassment in the mountain, and said: "General Qingfeng asked me to wait to come, how can I change my mind without discussion?" ”

Xu Ruyu said to Ming Xi: "You go and invite the generals of each battalion to come in and discuss the matter." After a pause, he said to Zi Yangqiu: "It's not that I want to change my mind, the bandits in Qingjiang are so rampant that they seriously affect our trade, I just sell the grain to you, how can you safely transport the grain back to the mountains?" ”

"This doesn't need General Qingfeng to take responsibility, my clan can send three thousand elites to escort this transport, and those slave hunting teams are mostly about 100 people, so they don't dare to commit lightly."

Xu Ruyu was about to speak, Ao Fang came in to report, and found a large group of armed warriors at the northern foot of Wuling Mountain, about eighty people, listening to their conversation, it seemed that they were following Liang Bao's traces, and it would not be long before they approached the camp.

If he had seen the camp, he would have fled away if he had not dared to attack. The Qingyan Army camped on the south bank, in addition to the Qingjiang Water Camp escort army led by Mi Yusheng and Wei Yu to the upper reaches of Lishui, there were two or three hundred elite combat forces, not to mention nearly seven hundred Xiangfan elite camps on the north bank.

Xu Ruyu looked at Ziyangqiu and asked, "Mr. Ziyang, if the enemy retreats, where will he go from?" ”

Zi Yangqiu heard his tone and wanted to set up an ambush and attack on the enemy's retreat road, and said: "This group of people is a rogue on Taishan, if they are frustrated here, they will definitely flee to Taishan on the southern slope of the trail, and they only need to ambush 200 ambush soldiers on the southern slope trail to encircle this group of people." ”

If you talk about the hatred for the slave hunting team, it is naturally Zi Yangqiu who is even more than Xu Ruyu, and unreservedly tells the details of the Nanpo trail to the Qingyan people. Wei Yan was the most excited, and without waiting for Zi Yangqiu to finish his introduction, he stood in front of Xu Ruyu and asked Ying to fight. Zi Yangqiu was secretly frightened, there are only very slight differences in the appearance of the Yi people, the Miao people and the Central Plains people, unlike the Di people and Hulan, who have high noses and deep eyes and curly hair, which can be recognized at a glance, but Zi Yangqiu still saw that Wei Yan and Ming Xi were of Yi blood, and most of the soldiers on duty outside the camp were also of Yi blood.

When Liang Bao entered Wuling Mountain with eighteen Yi warriors, Zi Yangqiu thought to himself that it was just Yi warriors hired by Xu Ruyu to lower their vigilance. In the past hundreds of years, there have been a large number of Yi people living everywhere, and it was not difficult for Xu Ruyu to find more than a dozen or twenty Yi warriors, but hundreds of Yi warriors who were not weaker than the Yi secret camp army were all working for Xu Ruyu, how did he not be frightened? Looking at the situation, the status of these two people named Wei Yan and Ming Xi is not low.

Zi Yangqiu clenched his fists and asked Wei Yan, "This general is also my Yiren?" ”

Wei Yan replied rudely: "If it weren't for the gentleman saying that the people of the mountain tribe were starving and cold, who would be happy to come all the way here?" He turned to Xu Ruyu and said, "Mother, this group of eight lambs dares to hunt slaves in Wuling Mountain, and if you don't cut off their eggs and send wine to Mr., I won't be surnamed Wei." The gentleman asked me to lead the way. ”

Wei Yan's surname is Zi Ruhao, but he is the most convincing, and he can lower Zi Yangqiu's vigilance more than Xu Ruyu's persuasion, so he did not interrupt his rude speech. Jue'er, who was sitting next to her, couldn't listen to it, her face was flushed, and she said: "You dead man, you don't look at any occasion, you swear casually." ”

When Wei Yan heard about the slave hunting team, he was filled with righteous indignation, his mind was hot, and he went away casually, never thinking that Youli, Jue'er, and Tingxue were also present, and thought: If you really take other people's bird eggs to give Mr. wine, Mr. will not cut off my bird eggs, and returned to his seat with a sneering expression, not daring to say a word.

Xu Ru smiled foolishly and said: "Ming Xi and Wei Yan led the Qingjiang cavalry camp to set up an ambush quickly, remember to bring a longbow and fight with the enemy, not to fight bravely, you should consider reducing your own casualties." He turned to Ziyangqiu and said, "Mr. Ziyang, can you let one of your men lead the way?" ”

How could Zi Yangqiu be unwilling, and hurriedly ordered one person to go out of the account with Ming Xi and Wei Yan.

Xu Ruyu said to Meng Yi: "Uncle Yi, you lead fifty soldiers of the teaching cavalry battalion to go out with me and Mr. Ziyang to have a look, and the others are all on standby in the camp. ”

Xu Ruyu incorporated Meng Yi and 12 other teachers into the teaching cavalry battalion, each leading 10 disciples, hoping to turn the teaching cavalry battalion into a military training camp, hoping that there would be a number of qualified military commanders at all levels in the future.

Constantly sending signals from the secret whistle to report that the enemy was approaching, Xu Ruyu wiped the handle of the knife and glanced back at the slightly nervous teaching cavalry campers. Liang Bao's more than 20 people were able to escape from this group of thieves, which showed that the opponent's combat power was very limited, and besides, there were two peerless masters on this side, himself and Meng Yi, and the strength of the other five teachers was not bad, so there was no need to worry about the enemy in front of him. Since you have come here and want to live here in peace, the conflict with the bandits of Qingjiang Mansion is inevitable, so let the teaching cavalry battalion adapt to combat life as soon as possible, so as not to be caught off guard by others.

There was no need for a dark whistle, Xu Ru's senses had already captured the sounds of more than eighty thieves, Meng Yi was a little slower than him, and he also noticed that the enemy was approaching, and only then did the nearest secret whistle send a signal that the enemy was approaching.

Xu Ruyu heard that the breath of the people behind him was a little chaotic, smiled back, and said softly: "Stay for a while, Mr. Ziyang will confirm it, so as not to hit the auxiliary car by mistake." ”

More than eighty warriors in strong costumes walked into everyone's sight, and Zi Yangqiu whispered: "Another group of people, but it looks like the costumes are also from the slave hunting team." But seeing Xu Ruyu glance at Fang Li, he recognized that the person was a warrior who went up the mountain with Liang Bao, and then he knew that Xu Ruyu was an extremely thoughtful person.

Xu Ruyu calmly ordered: "The arrow is wound." Before the enemy could get closer, there was a "whoosh" sound, and an arrow broke off the string and fell into the crowd without strength. Xu Ruyu knew that it was irretrievable, so he hurriedly ordered: "Shoot." "Arrows flew away like locusts.

The first group aroused the alarm of the enemy, and the next rain of arrows left only seven or eight corpses lying in the middle of the road, and the other thieves quickly avoided the mountain forest next to the road, and quickly approached here under the cover of the woods. Without Xu Ruyu's order, everyone unanimously abandoned the longbow and pulled out the standard saber (the saber here is not from the foundation of Gentang, and the Yongyang Mansion seized the income of the Puji bandits). Xu Ruyu's mind swept over the crowd, knowing where the opponent's good hand was, he exchanged glances with Meng Yi, and without waiting for the enemy to approach, he led everyone to kill.

Xu Ruyu could see the frightened look in the opponent's eyes, and stabbed it with a knife, like a vacant place, making people nowhere to be seen, but he still let the other party catch the knife traces, Xu Ruyu saw that the other party spurted out a mouthful of blood as soon as he made a move, and the death in his eyes was condensed, and he thought: Why are you here, I'm afraid I didn't expect that I would have this day. Another knife slashed straight at the opponent's blade, and with a loud "dang" sound, the man took five steps back, leaned on a giant cypress, and asked heavily: "Who are you, why do you want to stop and kill our people from Yunqiao Village?" ”

Xu Ruyu suddenly approached him and said, "You are from the slave hunting team?" ”

"We're hunting the Yiren, what do we have to do with you?"

The long blade cut his throat, and then he heard Xu Ruyu sigh softly: "It's all human life, so what race does it need to be divided." Then I heard the "snort" of the wind sucking into the throat. Seeing that the two leaders had not made a few moves under each other's hands, the thieves died in Huangquan, how dare they fight again, and fled to the depths of the dense forest.

Ao Fang led the group of ten people to chase towards the deep forest, and Meng Yi did not kill the other leader on the spot, but only restrained him and brought him to Ziyangqiu and Xu Ruyu. Xu Ruyu looked at nearly twenty corpses all over the place, suppressed the sigh in his heart, lifted the man's prohibition, and said, "Walk ahead." ”

Yun Yuansheng has been a bandit for more than ten years, and it is the first time that he is so depressed, and the three people behind him talk casually, not taking him seriously. Walking through a ridge, I suddenly found that there was a simple camp on the bank of Lishui in the distance, and the camp was crowded with people, and I was afraid that there were no less than a thousand people. I thought: who would dare to camp here? I can't help but speculate on the identities of the three people behind me.

There were fifty war horses tied to the edge of the forest under the mountain, and the sword-wielding warrior guarding the war horses respectfully called "Xu Ye" behind him, and four war horses were divided. Without waiting for Yun Shengyuan to react, he felt that a wave of finger strength directly invaded his left ribs, Yun Shengyuan wanted to avoid it, and thought: How many moves can you avoid? So without resistance, he let someone behind him restrain him and throw him on the horse, and the saddle pressed against his ribs and ached.

Yun Shengyuan thought that he was not only a good player in Yunqiao Village but also Taishan, but in the hands of that cold middle-aged man, he couldn't take ten moves, and when he saw that his partner was the fourth move, he was killed by the white-faced scholar-like person. He heard the conversation with the scholar-like person before his partner's death, and if his partner didn't say anything like a hunter, he might be able to save his life, maybe they caught me just to interrogate me for a confession, and he would have killed himself after asking. If it weren't for the price that a young Yi person could be exchanged for 20 loads of grain, and a young Yi person could be exchanged for 30 loads of grain, otherwise who would risk entering the mountain.

There was still half a way from the camp, and a few horsemen chased after them, and after listening to their conversation, Yun Shengyuan's ears were feverish: "Their combat effectiveness is not strong, they are not our opponents at all, they fled to General Mingxi's side." "Ah, they are still in ambush on the way back. Knowing this, I really shouldn't have listened to the people of Yuantun say that twenty seriously wounded Yi people fled here, and it was inevitable to see that the whole army would be wiped out in this situation.

"This group of bandits may be civilians who were forced to be coars, or let them be rounded up in the past." The middle-aged man who restrained himself said, making Yun Yuansheng grateful, and couldn't help but care about the opinions of the other two people.

"Only I can suppress Wei Yan's killing surname, I will go in person and trouble Mr. Ziyang to lead the way." As soon as the scholar-like man spoke, a sharp sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and he disappeared from near to far.
