Chapter 115: The Great War Begins
In front of the Yongle Sect Marshal's tent, there was chaos, and there was even a fight. After learning the news of the withdrawal, the entire Yongle Sect army was in chaos. And the high-level leaders who led the army this time have not shown their figures for a long time, and it seems that they did not expect that it would have such an impact. Emperor Zhu was trembling angrily, and he swore that he would definitely let the person who leaked the news be broken into pieces.
And the object of his suspicion is naturally the right protector Liu Haiju, because only in this way can he be forced to withdraw his troops. Let's ask the soldiers if they don't have the fighting spirit, what kind of battle are they fighting.
On a dense tree in the camp, Chu Xiaofeng and Guo Ziyi were hiding on it. Look at the chaotic crowd below, the noisy hustle and bustle. Chu Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Seeing that they are so chaotic, it is better for us to send a signal and let the Huwei battalion stationed in Qinghe Town kill them by surprise!" ”
"There's no hurry."
Guo Ziyi grabbed Chu Xiaofeng and said lightly. A cold light shot out of his eyes, staring at the chaotic flow of people below, and then said, "Didn't you see that Emperor Zhu Qi was at odds with another person? Let's wait. There was such a mess outside, and their high-level officials refused to show up for a long time, I think it must be infighting. ”
"Hehegao! Hou Ye is Hou Ye. ”
Chu Xiaofeng smiled, turned around and sat on the branch, and gave Guo Ziyi a thumbs up, looking at his father-in-law, Chu Xiaofeng was happy in his heart, fortunately he was on his side, otherwise he would be a fierce rival.
As Guo Ziyi expected, the handsome tent at this moment has long been a mess. There were a total of five people in the handsome tent, in addition to the deputy sect leader Zhu Qidi, the left and right protectors and Xu Da, there was also a strange man in a black robe, this person just stood all the time, never spoke, and a wide hat covered his face tightly.
This person's name is Xu Maochun, and he is the righteous son of the leader of the Yongle Sect. It is rumored that this person is proficient in various techniques, which can make wooden people fight, paper birds fly into the sky, and people on the rivers and lakes are called "iron-fisted Luban".
Xu Maochun was ordered by the sect leader to supervise the war, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the front line, the withdrawal of the eighth prince of Tu Yu happened, which made him completely lose confidence in this battle. Without enough backup, how can only 20,000 or 30,000 people resist the million-strong division of the imperial court.
He remained silent, and on behalf of his acquiescence, he declared the operation a failure and immediately withdrew his troops. It's just that because Emperor Zhu Qi, the deputy sect leader, is here, he doesn't dare to justifiably dominate the guests.
"The Deputy Sect Leader and the Right Protector don't make any more trouble! Let's think about how to appease the army first! ”
Xu Maochun, who had always been silent, finally couldn't help but speak. He really couldn't stand this farce, Emperor Zhu Qi and Liu Hai judged the two, blushing and arguing with each other, while Xu Da tried to dissuade the two, but the left protector Diao Aishan remained motionless with a straight face. They are all poor families, so naturally they will not take into account so many rules in the army.
"Humph!"
Emperor Zhu snorted coldly and glanced at Xu Maochun, but he didn't say anything. Liu Haiju twisted his head even more and walked directly outside, just dropping a sentence "Lao Tzu left first!" ”
"The surname Liu! If you dare to leave, the old man will kill you alive! ”
When Emperor Zhu heard Liu Hai say that he wanted to withdraw the army, he was furious and was about to step forward and beat him up, but fortunately he was hugged by Xu Da. And Xu Maochun on the side frowned, and his words were actually taken as deaf ears by them. Not to mention, he is also a dignified sectarian, and the entire Yongle Sect treats him respectfully, but here, what he said was regarded as a fart by these people, and he ignored it completely, which made him somewhat resentful.
"The right protector stays, Xu will go with you!"
Xu Maochun glanced at the angry Emperor Zhu Qi lightly, and walked straight out of the tent.
"Good! Very good! Get out of here! A bunch of gutsless rats! ”
Emperor Zhu sat on the chair dejectedly, but scolded loudly. It's just that although the words are angry, they are full of loneliness. He suddenly coughed violently and arched himself in pain. Frightened, Xu Da hurriedly patted him on the back, and then quickly poured him a bowl of tea.
"Deputy Sect Master, Diao Mou will not accompany you, but Diao Mou advises you that the destruction of the previous dynasty is not overnight, therefore, the demise of the Great Zhou will not be overnight. If you want revenge, why not plan otherwise. Now that the general trend is gone, why bother. ”
Diao Aishan sighed and said quietly. In fact, he still has a lot of respect for Emperor Zhu Qi, after all, Emperor Zhu Qi has great achievements and high prestige in the Yongle Sect.
"Let's go!"
Emperor Zhu slowly closed his eyes and spit out two words. He looked gloomy and said in a low voice: "I think that back then, my family was killed by the Dog Emperor. Now that I'm over 70 years old, how can I have so much time to plan, and I finally got such a good opportunity, how can I let it go so easily. ”
"Hey! Vice Master, take care! ”
Diao Aishan just sighed again and bowed to Emperor Zhu Qi. Although he really wanted to help Emperor Zhu, anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was no chance of winning this operation. can only be blamed, Emperor Zhu Qi met someone unladylike, one was frightened, the other was treacherous, and withdrew halfway.
Looking at Diao Aishan who walked out slowly, Xu Da frowned. Where will he go from here?
In the middle of the night, the soldiers of the Yongle Sect began to quickly assemble and prepare to evacuate. Chu Xiaofeng looked at the teams of soldiers who were ready to go, and asked anxiously, "Master Hou, don't we still send signal lights?" ”
"Your Highness, don't worry, wait. Wait for a pair of rebels to leave, and then we will attack so that we can kill the thieves on the greatest scale! If they make a move at this time, then they will definitely respond in time, and they will make a desperate bet if they don't make a mistake, which is not the result we want. ”
Guo Ziyi analyzed in a low voice. He glanced at the sky, it was as black as ink, without the slightest light. The north wind howled, and there was silence between heaven and earth.
"Master Hou is reasonable, the kid is reckless."
Chu Xiaofeng nodded slightly, it seems that he still has a lot to learn.
An hour later, the army of the Yongle Sect was significantly reduced, Guo Ziyi nodded at Chu Xiaofeng, Chu Xiaofeng took out a bamboo tube from his arms, and carefully took out the flint.
With a "stab" sound, I saw that after the faint firelight, a gorgeous rainbow went straight to the sky. The Yongle Sect soldiers who were assembling raised their heads one after another, looking at the colorful aura that suddenly appeared in the air.
"Bold thief!"
A roar suddenly sounded, and Emperor Zhu's figure turned into a shadow, and several jumped up to the top and struck with a palm. Chu Xiaofeng and Guo Ziyi were both shocked, they didn't expect that Emperor Zhu Qi's senses were so keen, and he would find them so quickly. Chu Xiaofeng quickly took out a silver needle from his sleeve, "whoosh" and "whoosh" a few times, broke out of the air, and went straight to Emperor Zhu Qi's front door.
Guo Ziyi did not hesitate, flew up and jumped up, facing Emperor Zhu Qi. Emperor Zhu's eyes narrowed slightly, easily dodged the silver needle, and hit Guo Ziyi with both palms, and with a "bang", the two quickly separated, and the whole tree cracked into several sections with a "click", sawdust flew up, and branches and leaves were all over the sky.
"It's you!"
Emperor Zhu Qi's words were cold, and he stared at Chu Xiaofeng deadly, although Chu Xiaofeng's appearance had changed again, but he recognized those silver needles. Xu Da also quickly came to Emperor Zhu Qi's side, and a group of Yongle Sect soldiers quickly surrounded Chu Xiaofeng and Guo Ziyi in the middle, holding spears, and looked at them with fierce eyes.
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang"
Just when Emperor Zhu Qi wanted to step forward to capture Chu Xiaofeng and Guo Ziyi, suddenly there was a loud noise in the direction of Qinghe Town, and he saw a fire rushing into the sky, reflecting the dark night. Immediately after, the earth-shattering roars and shouts of killing sounded, and the momentum was like thunder, rolling and attacking.
"Your Highness, let's go!"
Guo Ziyi saw that Emperor Zhu Qi's brows were tightly locked, he was in a daze, suddenly shouted, took his hand and rushed out. At the same time, more than a dozen big men in heavy armor suddenly appeared and killed into the crowd.
"The thief is gone!"
Xu Da reacted in time, and flew towards Chu Xiaofeng, Chu Xiaofeng showed a sneer in his eyes, waved his hands together, and more than a dozen silver needles flew out, hidden in the inky night. Xu Da felt the cold wind in front of him, and hurriedly turned around to dodge, but the density of the silver needle was too great, and he was still hit by a needle in the shoulder. But because of this, he distanced himself from Chu Xiaofeng and the others.
"Ah!!h
Emperor Zhu suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, his eyes became red, he completely understood at this moment, seeing that his years of hard work were about to be burned, his heart was on fire, turned into a black shadow, and went straight to Chu Xiaofeng and Guo Ziyi.
"Not good!"
Guo Ziyi felt the strong wind behind him like a sword, so frightened that he hurriedly stopped and protected Chu Xiaofeng behind him, even so, he was still a step too late, and he saw Emperor Zhu Qi slap his palm on Chu Xiaofeng's chest, directly knocking him out, the cotton clothes on Chu Xiaofeng's chest were torn instantly, and the cotton wool flew all over the sky.
"Your Highness!"
Guo Ziyi was shocked and shouted and attacked Emperor Zhu Qi. At this moment, two ironclad men suddenly appeared, one on the left and one on the right, tightly hugging Emperor Zhu's arm, and one of them shouted: "Lord Hou, take His Highness away!" ”
Guo Ziyi paused, turned around quickly, picked up Chu Xiaofeng, who was already unconscious, and fled quickly. Emperor Zhu's blood coagulation ** is not something that he Guo Ziyi can deal with. Guo Ziyi had just taken a few steps when he felt a chill in his back, and a long knife penetrated through his back, piercing his back.
Xu Da grinned, rushed forward in a few arrow steps, raised the big knife in his hand, and was about to cut off Guo Ziyi's head. An iron-clad man arrived in an instant and punched the broadsword to resist Xu Da's attack.
Guo Ziyi's mind was blurred, he beat his spirit, tightened Chu Xiaofeng in his hand, and ran towards Qinghe Town without any pause.
