Chapter 74 Jiro God reappears
Not far from Chaoge, he met a caravan from afar, Fang Bi spent a lot of money to buy two fast horses, he and Fang Xiang each rode one, each with two princes, and galloped all the way to the east.
In the evening, the four of them came to a village, only to see that it was quite different.
In this era, productivity is low, most peasant households are still struggling below the subsistence line, poverty, dilapidation, dirty, and chaos are the labels that the countryside should have, not to mention decent houses and smooth roads, and it is already good that the average village can have a few well-dressed people.
But in front of this village, there are bluestone paved roads, rows of houses, bustling shops, polite pedestrians, and even a one-person-high wall around the village, with two strong men with knives guarding the gate of the village. In the very center of the village, there is a three-storey wooden building that stands at the intersection of the north-south roads. Not to mention a village, even an ordinary town, it is extremely difficult to reach such a scale.
The four of them were all a little surprised to see such a scene, Fang Bi walked to the gate and said to a strong man guarding the door: "This brother, I don't know where this is, why is it so prosperous?"
The strong man saw that although Fang Bi was wearing civilian clothes, he had an extraordinary temperament and was polite, so he politely replied: "This eldest brother, this is a merchant village, and my family is a senior official of Zhishi, so he can run this village very richly." I wonder how many of you came, whether you came to do business or visit relatives?"
When Fang Bi heard this, he secretly thought that there were many officials in the court, but most of them lived in the city, and there were very few people living in the countryside. Then he asked, "I don't know your family's surname, how many years have you been operating in this village?"
Na Zhuangding said: "My family members are surnamed Shang, but they only returned to the village last year. ”
Fang Bi was taken aback, and he had already guessed that the staff member here was Prime Minister Shang Rong, so he said: "Your family member is the former Prime Minister Shang Rong Shang Master of the DPRK and China?"
The strong man said proudly: "Exactly, I didn't expect you to know the name of my master." ”
Fang Bi was overjoyed and said: "I am Fang Bi, the doctor of the court, and I am accompanied by the current prince and the second prince of the court, you go and tell your family members quickly." ”
The strong man was stunned for a moment, looked at Fang Bi, and then looked at the two children not far away, and really looked extremely delicate, and he didn't dare to make claims, so he hurriedly offended and went in to report.
Fang Bi returned to the prince and said happily: "The two princes, now they are saved, and in front of them is the residence of Lord Shangrong. Lord Shang is loyal and good for generations, and with his help, he will be able to ensure that the two princes successfully escape to Donglu. ”
When the other three heard this, they were all overjoyed.
After a while, I saw Shang Rong walking out with a few juniors in the clan, and when he saw the two princes and the two Fang doctors, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Hearing what happened to the two princes, Shang Rong said angrily: "The queen and the king have always had a deep relationship, how could they murder the king? The son was so killed by his wife and children, and acted perversely, it was really the anger of people and gods. The two princes don't panic, the old minister and the Dongbohou have always had a good relationship, and they will definitely ensure that you go to Donglu. With that, he led the four into the village.
At night, Shang Rong was setting up a banquet to invite the two princes and the two doctors Fang, when suddenly someone came to report and there were soldiers and horses from the imperial court, and the village was surrounded by water. The leader claimed to be the king of Wucheng and asked Shang Rong to answer in person.
Shang Rong was shocked, and hurriedly went to the gate with everyone, and sure enough, he saw a sergeant holding a torch in front of him, densely packed and I don't know how many, and everyone was shocked by each other. Although the strong men in the village also had blades and armor, they had only served for a year, and they had never seen a big scene, so how could they dare to do such a stupid thing as hitting a stone with an egg against the imperial army?
After all, Shang Rong had some prestige, and he stepped forward to ask King Wucheng to let the two princes go, but was scolded back by King Wucheng's sentence "This king only knows the king's fate, regardless of anything else". Helplessly, everyone had to tie their hands and was arrested by King Wucheng without much effort.
King Wu Cheng discussed with the lieutenant general, leaving 500 soldiers to guard the merchant village, which was built by the salt tax corrupted by Shang Rong, how to deal with it, but it still has to wait for the will of the king of Shang. The remaining 1,000 soldiers escorted the two princes, Shang Rong, the Fang brothers and Shang Rong's relatives, and returned to the dynasty in a mighty manner.
The army had only reached less than thirty miles of Chaoge, when they suddenly saw a man standing in the middle of the road, eight feet tall, dressed in black, holding a three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand, blocking the way of the army.
Seeing this, the prince in front of him immediately shouted angrily: "Who are you, blocking the way of the army here, can you know that this is the army of the imperial court, don't you have a head?"
Hearing this, the man slowly turned around, only to see a belt tied on his forehead, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, and looked coldly at the military marquis. The prince looked at him, and suddenly his whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, and he was cold from head to toe, but he couldn't say anything if he wanted to continue cursing.
The man looked at the army in front of him again, and suddenly the three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand swung violently, and only to hear a boom, a gap six feet long and three feet wide opened on the ground between him and the army, and slowly appeared in front of everyone as the smoke and dust dispersed.
All the sergeants were shocked when they saw this, this kind of kung fu was no longer something that could be achieved by manpower, and they were all silent, and they didn't dare to say a word more. King Wucheng got the report from the front army, hurried over, and when he saw this scene, he frowned and said: "This strong man, I am the king of Wucheng in the dynasty, and I escort the court in the name of the king, I don't know why I want to block the way we wait?"
When the man heard this, he was silent for a moment, and said coldly, "Prince, stay." ”
King Wu Cheng was shocked when he heard this, and said: "I don't know the name of the strong man, who is entrusted to rob the Qin prisoners here?"
The man frowned and said, "Under the Yuding Sect, Yang Jian." ”
King Wu Cheng was shocked again, Yuding Zhenren is a famous immortal, since this Yang Jian is a subordinate of Yuding, he is naturally not a mortal, but now this situation is a little tricky. He thought for a moment and spoke again: "Brother Yang, my son Huang Tianhua is a disciple of the True Monarch of Morality, but he has some connections with you, and there must be a misunderstanding in this. Why don't you get out of the way today, and I'll let my son go to see your master another day, thank you for giving way today. ”
I didn't want Yang Jian to hear this, but he still looked at him coldly and stopped talking.
Seeing that he had said all his good words, this Yang Jian still looked like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away, and King Wucheng couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. He is also a fierce general of the dynasty, and if he disagrees, how can he stand such grievances.
Knowing that today's things could not be good, he grabbed the pestle with gold in his hand, and said angrily: "Since this is the case, then see the real chapter under his hands!"
Yang Jian saw King Wu Cheng smash down, his eyes froze, and the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand swung to meet him. After a deafening loud bang, everyone looked at the two of them, only to see that the running colorful sacred cow was hit alive and stopped, and Yang Jian was also shocked to take two steps back. At first glance, it was King Wucheng who had the upper hand, but he borrowed the power of the sacred cow, and some of them were not martial.
Yang Jian was naturally not reconciled, and the long knife in his hand shook again, and poked towards King Wu Cheng's chest and abdomen. King Wu Cheng was on top of the mount, and it was not easy to dodge, so he had to put the iron pestle horizontally and put it up. There was another sound of gold and iron, this time, it was the sacred cow that was shaken back half a step, but Yang Jian stood still, like a mountain.
The two fought ten moves like this, and each time it was a loud bang. After ten moves, Yang Jian's face was still cold and expressionless, but King Wu Cheng's strength was gradually a little weak. This Yang Jian's strength is really stronger than him, if it weren't for the help of the colorful divine cow, he would have been defeated. At this time, his arms trembled uncontrollably, making him know in his heart that after three moves at most, he would no longer be able to hold the weapon, and he would be captured.
King Wucheng is a battle-hardened general, naturally not a pedantic generation, after another battle, he suddenly pulled the colorful sacred cow, ran back to the front of the army, and said: "Under the Yuxu Sect, it is really powerful, but today this king has a holy purpose, and if he can't say it, he will be offended." With that, he waved his hand behind him.
There was already a deputy general in the army who had made arrangements, and when he saw the signal of King Wu Cheng, he rushed forward with two hundred archers and raised his bow and arrow at Yang Jian. King Wu Cheng persuaded again: "Brother Yang Jian, if you retreat like this, this king will no longer pursue it." Otherwise, under the fire of thousands of arrows, no matter how high your skills are, you will not be able to escape death. ”
Seeing this, a trace of anger flashed in Jian's eyes, and he suddenly ripped off the belt on his forehead. I saw that one of the vertical eyes on his forehead had begun to glow red.
When King Wu Cheng saw the strange vertical eye, he was startled and shouted, "Release the arrow!" The sergeants behind him shot out the arrows in their hands one after another, and shot towards Yang Jian.
At the critical moment, Yang Jian shouted violently, and his eyes in the vertical sky were connected, shooting out a beam of red light. The red light was very strange, and instead of going in a straight line, it went around a strange circle towards the arrows like a rainstorm.
Although the speed of the arrow is fast, it is far less than the red light. Only a chaotic sound of "ding" was heard, and the flying arrows were derailed by the red light, some flew into the sky, and some plunged into the ground. Hundreds of arrows, not a single one of them entered within three feet of Yang Jian's body.
When the sergeants saw such a strange spell, they all stood there, their eyes showing disbelief, and they didn't dare to shoot with arrows again. The red light scattered all the arrows, but it still didn't weaken in the slightest, and it shot straight towards King Wucheng.
King Wu Cheng was shocked, and in a hurry, he hurriedly put the iron pestle in his hand sideways, blocking it in front of the red light. The red light hit the iron pestle, and with a "bang", King Wucheng also flew away from the back of the sacred cow, and flew backwards, flying more than ten zhang away, the red light dissipated, and he fell heavily in the crowd.
More than a thousand troops were suddenly as silent as death.
