Chapter 21: The First Soldier: Changes (2)
"Old man, it's the man in the gray robe! - This is the man who killed the son! Riding back to Lu Song's side, Lin Zhen pointed to the lone figure behind the rebel general Zhou Bi's army, and said to Lu Song through gritted teeth.
"That's him!" Lu Song was shocked, his slightly gray beard trembled slightly, looked back at Lin Zhen, and said in a deep voice, "Lin Zhen, you command for the old man, old man, go and meet that thief!" ”
"Grandpa?" Lin Zhen's face changed slightly, and before he could say anything to stop it, he saw Lu Song clamping the horse's belly and carrying an eight-point steel spear towards the rebel general.
Although he was worried about the safety of his grandfather, Lin Zhen also understood and understood the pain of Lu Song's loss of his son, so he immediately ordered the other four thousand people who stayed behind to join the battle circle and open the way for his grandfather.
I have to say that although he is old, Lu Song's martial arts are really extraordinary, at least among the rebellions, no one is his enemy, so that although he is single-handed, this veteran still kills in front of the rebel general named Chen Bei.
Perhaps noticing Lu Song's approach, the rebel slowly reined in the reins of his horse's head, and looked at Lu Song, who was getting closer and closer to him, with a puzzled expression.
Closer, closer......
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the gray-robed rebel general, Lu Song seemed to feel the blood boiling all over his body.
Keting, my son, for my father, I will avenge you today!
Thinking of the pale face and cold corpse of his son Lu Fan in the coffin transported to Jijing, Lu Song only felt the anger in his heart churning.
Twenty Steps......
Ten Steps......
One-step......
"Thief, take your life!" With a loud roar, Lu Song clenched the steel spear weighing more than seventy catties with both hands, and slammed it towards the rebel's head.
"......" The rebel general named Chen Bei glanced at Lu Song, who had killed him alone, with a slightly puzzled gaze, and slowly raised the horse chopping knife in his right hand.
"Bell!"
With a loud bang, Lu Song was shocked and took three steps back with his horse, on the other hand, the rebel general Chen Bei's figure only shook slightly, but the horse chopping knife in his hand. also because of Lu Song's angry blow, the whole side fell to one side, and the front end of the knife sank into the ground.
"......" glanced at his slightly trembling right hand, Chen Bei raised his head and looked at Lu Song with a little surprise.
But I don't know. Lu Song at this moment. What a shock in my heart.
This thief...... What arm strength!
Lu Song couldn't believe it, he used horsepower, held a spear in both hands, and struck hard. As a result, he was shocked back three steps, and the other party just stood there, blocking his blow with one hand, but only his body shook.
Such a peerless general, who was unknown before?
Come to think of it. Lu Song took a deep breath, held back the anger in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "You, who are you?" ”
"......" faced with Lu Gong's questioning, the rebel general Chen Bei pulled out a huge blade that fell into the mud and was silent.
Seeing this, Lu Song was furious and scolded angrily. "Junior! Why don't you use your name? Do you look down on the old man? As he spoke, he clenched the steel spear in his hand and frequently poked towards Chen Bei's door, but the latter was blocked one by one by the latter holding the knife in one hand. On the contrary, Lu Song was shaken by the force of the countershock, and his chest rose and fell.
But after more than a dozen moves, Lu Gong gradually gained the upper hand.
It's not that Duke Lu should be strong, and the more he fights, the more courageous he becomes, and he suppressed the rebel general with his strength. It's because after a few consecutive fights, Lu Song noticed it strangely. Although the rebel general in front of him has amazing arm strength, his martial arts are relatively much more superficial.
What's going on?
This person's way of using a knife is violent and undisciplined, and it can almost be said that he relies on his amazing arm strength to slash indiscriminately, and there is no so-called knife technique at all.
Could it be that this person has no one to teach martial arts?
Prior to this, Lu Song had speculated many times, guessing what kind of martial arts fierce general the murderer of his son Lu Fan was, but it was not until now that he was shocked to find that the rebel general on the opposite side seemed to have never practiced martial arts at all, and just relied on brute force to deal with it.
Pity my son, who was killed by this reckless man......
Thinking of this, Lu Song's eyes were slightly red, and when he saw the opportunity, he slashed a spear across the face of the rebel general Chen Bei, not only tearing open a hole in the gray robe he was draped on, but also leaving a shallow blood mark on his face.
"......" may have noticed the warm liquid flowing from his face, Chen Bei's eyes showed a little consternation, slowly raised his left hand, wiped the blood on his face, and then silently looked at the blood in his hand.
Taking a slight breath, Chen Bei's left hand also held the handle of the knife.
"Humph!" Lu Song snorted coldly and slapped his horse forward.
Suddenly, the rebel general Chen Bei waved his slashing sword, only to hear a sharp whistling, as if a gust of wind swept towards Lu Song's face.
Boy!
What a strong arm!
Taking a sharp breath, Lu Song clamped the horse's belly, bent the horse's front legs under the crotch, and fell to the ground, narrowly avoiding the fatal knife.
"Thief, take your life!" With a loud roar, Lu Song smashed the steel spear in his hand on the ground, and with the power of the rebound, he took the rebel general in front of the door.
At this time, the rebel general Chen Bei still maintained a posture of waving a knife, and he had no time to respond.
Got it!
Lu Song's eyes showed a little joy.
Suddenly, the smile on his face froze as he noticed that the rebel jerked his left hand and grabbed the tip of the spear.
Suddenly, a wisp of blood stained the tip of the spear in Lu Song's hand red.
How can it be?!
Lu Song couldn't believe it, you have to know that the spear he just now, the other party didn't have time to respond, how could it be......
Not?
Suddenly, Lu Song's eyes widened, and he looked incredulously at the flame-like aura around the rebel general......
Fog...... Flame?
Just when Lu Song lost his mind, the rebel general clenched the spear blade in his left hand on the one hand, and brandished the horse chopping knife in his right hand on the other hand, and slashed through Lu Song's chest.
Although Lu Gong, who sensed the crisis, leaned back in time, he couldn't avoid the knife, and a shocking knife mark was suddenly left on his chest, and warm blood seeped out along the shattered armor, staining the entire chest.
Even the war horse under his crotch could not escape this fate, and half of the horse's body was cut off by the rebel general.
"Bang......" Lu Song fell heavily to the ground, clutching the knife marks on his chest, and looked at the rebel general in front of him in disbelief.
"You...... Are you from the Liangqiu family? ”
"......" At this time, the rebel general Chen Bei was silently looking at the scar on his left hand that was cut by the blade of a spear. Wen Yan glanced down at Lu Song and slowly shook his head.
"Don't quibble, you are clearly from the Liangqiu family!"
After looking at Lu Song deeply for a while, the rebel general opened his mouth and said calmly. "I don't understand what you're talking about. But...... But...... You are still the first one who can force me to use my hands, old man, what is your name? ”
Lu Song was furious when he heard this. scolded, "It's useless to quibble!" What you just used is clearly the [Wuyan] of the Liangqiu family! ”
"Fog Flame?" The rebel general showed some doubt in his eyes, looked at Lu Song, and asked curiously. "Is there anyone else who can do that? - That's not called fog fire, I call it [fire] ......"
"What?" Lu Song was stunned, looked at Chen Bei in amazement, and said sarcastically, "What kind of heat, it's clearly fog flame!" ”
The rebel frowned slightly, shook his head, and said, "I've already said it. I don't know what Liangqiu's family is, and I don't know what fog inflammation is, it's called inflammation, and it's a trick I created......"
Lu Song looked at Chen Bei in disbelief, judging from Chen Bei's expression. It doesn't look like lying.
"You...... How do you do it? ”
"I don't know how I did that...... Are you ready to die, old man? As he spoke, Chen Bei raised the big knife in his hand.
Lu Song's face did not change when he heard this, and slowly closed his eyes. But for a long time I didn't see the blade fall.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw the rebel looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"There's one thing I don't understand. Pawn, this is the first time you and I have met on the battlefield, right? Why do you, the commander of the army, do not command the soldiers under your command, but prefer to kill me and die? ”
Lu Song gritted his teeth when he heard this, and said angrily, "The revenge of killing a son is not the same as wearing the sky!" ”
"The revenge of the son?"
"Lu Fan, Lu Keting!" Lu Gong said in a deep voice.
"......" The rebel frowned slightly, and it could be seen that he seemed to be recalling something.
Seeing this, Lu Song sneered and sneered, "Hmph! Have you killed so many people that you can't even remember their names? - The commander of the First Western Expedition, Lu Fan and Lu Keting! ”
"Oh," Chen Bei nodded in relief, and said in a steady tone, "That person...... Is that your son? Well, the martial arts are good......"
"You ......" is not sarcasm...... Never mind! - On the battlefield, each has a destiny, your son's skills are not as good as others, and he deserves this fate! ”
"You!" Lu Song was furious when he heard this, but he couldn't refute it, he sighed long, shook his head and said bitterly, "Pity my hard-working child, who just married a good wife, and before he could live in a cave, he was victimized by you, a thief!" ”
“……”
"Whew!" With a long sigh, Lu Song's face was straight, and he looked at Chen Bei and said in a deep voice, "Although the old man is defeated today, he will be far superior to the old man's fierce general, and lead the army to this point, and take the head of the rebels such as you!" ――If you don't kill the old man, when will you wait?! ”
"......" The rebel general looked at Lu Song silently for a while, and suddenly the horse chopping knife in his right hand was picked, and he waved two knives in a row, breaking Lu Song's hands and tendons, and then, he turned his horse and left.
Lu Gong was caught off guard, and after reacting, he was shocked and angry, and scolded loudly, "Why don't you kill the old man?" ”
Chen Bei turned his head, glanced at Lu Song, and shook his head.
Seeing this, Lu Song was even more furious.
"You! - Junior, do you dare to insult me like this? ”
Chen Bei let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "Is it an insult to be kind enough to spare your life...... If I were you, I would keep my mouth shut and wait for my subordinates to come and save me! ”
"Humph! When the old man fought on the battlefield, you and the juniors didn't know where to go! -- It's not your turn to teach the old man a lesson! ”
"Perhaps," Chen Bei shook his head slightly, and said in a flat tone, "However, now is not the time for you to wait for the old pawn to be capable!" - You're too old to take my full strength...... Try to live, and take your son's ......" At this point, he grabbed the horse's belly and slowly left.
"Don't go! Come back, come back to the old man! Come back and kill the old man......"
Lu Song shouted loudly, however, the rebel general ignored it and left.
After that, Lin Zhen, the general of the Southern Army, desperately rescued Lu Song, and the rebels in Hangu Pass did not chase after him because their morale had plummeted because they had been beaten by the Southern Army before.
As a result, the two sides fell into a multi-day stalemate.
-- Back to the present time, the southern military camp --
"Unbelievable ......"
When listening to Nanguo Gong Lu Song slowly finished telling what happened that day. Yan Kai and Chen Gang looked at each other, after all, according to Lu Gong's description, what is the relationship between the rebel general and the Liangqiu family.
However, the people of the Liangqiu family, now only Liang Qiu Gong and his granddaughter Liang Qiu Wu are left, which is something that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are aware of.
But that's the end of it. Even Yan Kai and Chen Gang gradually began to doubt. I wonder if that rebel has anything to do with the Liang Qiu family.
If this is true, it is terrible, the clansmen of the Liangqiu family of the dignified Donggong Mansion have become rebels. not only came forward to kill the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army twice, causing the Western Expeditionary Army to be defeated and suffering countless injuries, but even broke the hands of Nanguo Gong Lu Song......
This felony, once implemented, was committed by the Liangqiu family. That was undoubtedly extremely fatal to the reputation of the Liang Qiu family.
Even, it will make the southern army and the eastern army completely turn against each other......
Thinking of this, Yan Kai and Chen Gang sighed slightly.
Perhaps seeing through what Yan Kai and Chen Gang were thinking, Lu Song said with a wry smile, "If it weren't too similar, the old man wouldn't believe it, but look at the traitor's look." It's not like it's a fake, maybe there's some misunderstanding in it......"
As he spoke, Lu Song seemed to notice something, turned his head and said to Li Shou. "Your Highness, when the old man was unconscious, I vaguely heard a few noises, it was none other than our soldiers. Rude to His Highness, etc.? - Is there such a thing? ”
Li Shou was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered. He was beaten in the chest by a Southern sergeant just now, and he almost vomited out the overnight meal in pain, and when he heard this, his face showed a little displeasure, and he nodded and said, "It's ......true, it's true."
At this moment, Xie An stepped on Li Shou's right foot fiercely, and Li Shou gasped in pain.
"No!" Xie An glanced at Li Shou.
"Never?" Li Shou looked at Xie An in amazement, glanced at Lu Gong's miserable appearance with an epiphany, and shook his head again and again with a smile on his face in relief.
"No!"
"......" Lu Song heard this, turned his head to look at Lin Zhen, saw him with his head down, a look of guilt, sighed slightly, and said, "Lin Zhen, take my Southern Army Tiger Talisman and hand it over to His Royal Highness Shou, from today onwards, you will temporarily return to His Royal Highness Shou!" ”
"Grandpa?" Lin Zhen looked at Lu Song in disbelief.
Lu Song's face sank, and he shouted angrily, "Lin Zhen! ”
Lin Zhen trembled and lowered his head silently.
“…… Be! ”
What's going on?
Lu Gong actually handed over the command of the Southern Army to us?
Xie An and Li Shou glanced at each other, quite flattered.
-- At the same time, the first military camp of the Western Expedition --
Just when Lu Song, the Duke of Nanguo, told Xie An, Li Shou, Yan Kai, Chen Gang and others about the events of that day, Fei Guo, the general of the First Army of the Western Expedition, was sleeping on the couch in the tent he had just set up.
Suddenly, Fei Guo's eyes changed slightly, because he suddenly noticed that there was a looming murderous aura behind him.
Even, Fei Guo could vaguely feel that there seemed to be something like a knife handle, gently against his waist.
He infiltrated the camp without even realizing it......
Who is it?
Frowning, Fei Guo took a deep breath, cautiously glanced behind him from the corner of his eye, and then slowly turned around.
But to his surprise, there was no one behind him, and there was no one else in the whole tent except him.
What's going on?
Is it because you are too suspicious?
Just when Fei Guo was secretly wondering, there was a giggle from the position of the bed behind him.
At that moment, Fei Guo was shocked, and he only felt creepy, so he subconsciously jumped back and held the saber at his waist with his right hand.
Only then did he notice that at some point, there was a woman dressed in gray lying on his side on his bed.
"Is General Fei looking for Yu?" The woman giggled.
Fei Guo took a deep breath, looked at the woman in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Are you ...... Thousand-faced ghost queen, Jin Ling'er? ”
The woman on the bed giggled, licked her lips, shrugged her shoulders, and chuckled softly, "I'm sorry, Yu scared General Fei......"
With a long breath, Fei Guo frowned and said, "Ghost Ji, one of the four concubines, what are you doing here?" ”
"Naturally, something is wrong!" Jin Ling'er, who was lying on the side of the bed, slowly sat up, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the furnishings in the tent with great interest, and then glanced at Fei Guo, seeing that his face was vaguely impatient, so he said slowly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, get rid of Li Shou and Xie An!" ”
"......" Fei Guo raised his eyebrows, looked straight at the woman in front of him, and after half a sound, he pressed the right hand of the sword, and then slowly put it down.
"General Fei, what happened?" Outside the tent, there was the puzzled voice of the soldiers of the Western Expedition.
Glancing at the smiling Jin Ling'er, Fei Guo slowly shook his head.
"No, it's okay......"
