Chapter Seventy-One: Divine Soldier Wu Hook
[Not so good now......]
When he heard Shen Xing's sneer, even Li Tong, who had the thickest nerves, showed a demented and dazed face, not to mention the others. As for Xu Kun, who was full of anger, he seemed to have forgotten the injury on his chest, and a pair of tigers stared at each other.
It's no wonder, after all, Shen Xing's words are too shocking, who would have thought that the rebels would have the courage to use the 40,000 or 50,000 troops as bait?
The old man Zang Minzang, the assassin of Yangzhou, couldn't think of it, so after he heard that the rebels had entered Kou Guangling County in a big way, he hurriedly mobilized the elite soldiers and fierce generals in Guangling County, and transferred Chen Qi, Lu Min, Wang Zhuo, Han Hu and other elite lieutenants and county lieutenants from all over the country to Guangling River to prepare to fight the rebels. Originally, there was no problem with this approach, but who would have thought that the rebels would take advantage of the convenience of the warship to transport soldiers and bypass Guangling to attack Hailing? Well, the old man's previous move of transferring elites from various counties to stop the rebels has instead fulfilled the rebels. Think about it, if there were no elite captains and county lieutenants like Lu Min, Wang Zhuo, Han Hu and other places in the localities, how could those county towns block the sudden offensive of the rebels?
Danyang Taishou Xu Kun and Fuchun County Chengsun Jian also did not expect it, they thought that this time they had completely calculated the rebels, and planned to wait for the rebels to cross the Yangtze River and then kill from the rear of the rebels, trying to kill all the rebels in Guangling County, but who would have thought that the rebels had already expected that Guangling County would have the same enemy as Danyang County. Now it's good, the fierce general Sun Jian and the strong Danyang soldiers chased the bait army led by the rebel commander Shen Xing to kill and kill, and the capture was indeed not small, but the county seat of the defense was lost inexplicably.
Shen Xing said it right. This is called winning the war and losing the battle, and due to the overall strategic missteps, the Guangling County side has won several victories. But something more important was lost.
You must know that in addition to Jiangdu, Guangling County has Tangyi, Dongyang, Lingxian, Ping'an, Gaoyou, Sheyang, Hailing, Yandu, Haixi and other county seats. In the end, even if Jiangdu is heavily guarded, what can it do? Could Jiangdu, which had become an isolated city, survive the attack of the rebels?
I have to admit that the rebels are very clever in playing this trick. Played everyone on the Guangling County side.
After realizing this, Xu Kun has already realized that he is the general of the Danyang soldiers, the nephew of Sun Jian, and the nephew of Xu Kun, the Taishou of Danyang. He was ready to give up his life and also cast to hold Shen Ying and the others behind. Let Zhang Huang and the other black feather crows have enough time to escape from here. In his opinion, his uncle Sun Jian was still trying his best to capture this camp in the west camp of the Fifth Army Tun, and if Zhang Huang and the others could escape to Sun Jian's side, they would definitely be able to get out safely. As for him Xu Kun, Xu Kun knew very well that with such serious injuries, it was no longer enough for him to break through the rebels' obstruction and escape from here. Therefore, he gave up, and he was ready to give up his life to let Zhang Huang and the others get out of danger. And send this vital information back to Zhujia Town.
Paying attention, Xu Kun lowered his head. He put his mouth to Zhang Huang's ear and whispered imperceptibly, "Pull out the sword on your chest for me, and I'll help you wait to kill it...... There is my uncle outside the camp, and you will join him and keep it safe and sound. ”
"......" Zhang Huang opened his mouth slightly, he didn't ask anything stupid like 'what should you do with Brother Xu', because Xu Kun's words were undoubtedly explaining the aftermath, this straightforward and cheerful young tiger general of Danyang had given up hope of survival, just to help them get out of trouble.
Although Zhang Huang knew in his heart that the most fundamental reason why Xu Kun did this was that he wanted them to send vital information back to the army, he was still moved. In all fairness, Zhang Huang didn't want Xu Kun, who was like the 'big brother next door', to die here in the past few days.
But what to do?
Zhang Huang fell into deep thought. Of course, he knew that if he wanted to escape with Xu Kun, killing Shen Ying was the best way, but he knew that Shen Ying was not easy to deal with, as the commander of the rebel army, Shen Xing, his martial arts were far above Yuan Han, even if he was not Sun Jian's opponent, but it was not something that Zhang Huang and these hairy boys could deal with. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Huang and the others may not even be able to break Shen Xing's rigid body.
This concern made Zhang Huang have to restrain the sharpness and killing intent in his eyes. But what he didn't expect was that the fleeting killing machine was clearly captured by the mysterious man.
"Wu Hook...... It's a legendary sword. ”
There was silence all around, and suddenly a headless sentence sounded, and it came from the mouth of the mysterious cloaked man, which made the faces of everyone present stunned.
However, the mysterious cloaked man ignored everyone's puzzled gazes, held the teacup and said to himself, "It is said that it is the sword of Wu Wangfucha, which has the effect of destroying evil spirits. ”
[What is this guy talking about?] ]
Zhang Huang glanced at the mysterious cloaked man with a strange expression, and suddenly his body shook slightly.
[Wait!] …… Breaking the Evil Spirit? ]
Zhang Huang suddenly turned his head to stare at the sword that pierced Xu Kun's right chest, he still remembered that Shen Xing was holding this sharp sword, and he pierced Xu Kun's body with a sword, so that the latter's rigid body did not have the slightest effect.
[Is this sword...... It's Wu Hook?! ]
Glancing at Xu Kun, who was also aware of this, Zhang Huang grabbed the hilt of the sword and abruptly pulled it out of Xu Kun's chest. Of course, he didn't forget to paste a Dao talisman engraved with the technique of 'Fu Shui' on Xu Kun's chest. Although Zhang Huang, who was a beginner in this technique, could not do the magic that seemed to be able to live dead and flesh and bones when Tang Zhou was in Taishan County, if it was just to stop bleeding and scab over, this Zhang Huang could still do it.
"Envoy, you ......" Shen Xing turned his head in shock to look at the mysterious cloaked man who was drinking tea by himself. Maybe others don't know, but as the owner of that sword, how could Shen Xing not know that the name of that sword is called 'Wu Hook', which is a divine weapon given to him by Xu Sheng, the father of his loyal lord in the previous generation and now Emperor Xu Zhao of Yangming.
Since it is a divine weapon, it naturally has a miraculous effect that is different from ordinary weapons. Indeed it is. These divine weapons, created by the famous swordsmiths of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Pre-Qin Period, are different from the standard weapons mass-produced today, and have a certain degree of suppressive qi effect. It can neutralize the rigid body that the warrior is proud of at a certain level.
In fact, as early as many years ago, the Moru had already researched and found that the previous generations of famous smelting craftsmen seemed to know how to integrate the Buzhou stone into the sword embryo, and the Moru studied and improved on this basis, and gradually mastered the cross-era technology of integrating the crystallization of the Buzhou stone into steel. It is no exaggeration to say. This technique is bad news for any martial artist in the world who has mastered qi.
[That's it...... Divine soldier 'Wu Hook'?! ]
Holding the Wu Hook Sword in his hand, Zhang Huang clearly captured the abnormality of this sword: this divine weapon that seemed to be a living thing. Instinctively rejecting the qi in Zhang Huang's body, but it was very contradictory, while resisting the qi, it also absorbed a small trace of the qi in his body. This odd phenomenon. Zhang Huang was puzzled.
But now is clearly not the time to study this artifact. Zhang Huang glanced up at Shen Xing, and saw Shen Xing, who was full of pride, and now his face was pale, especially his eyes, and his anger was mixed with a little uneasiness and jealousy.
[Wu hook can break the rigid body...... Then Shen Xingke has nothing to fear! ]
After making up his mind, Zhang Huang's face was straight, and he rushed towards Shen Ying with the Wu Hook Sword in his hand.
"Kill them!" Shen Xing's face changed slightly, and he gave the order. At the same time, several nearby rebel soldiers rushed up to protect him, his own commander.
[Why?] Why did this lord frame me? ]
At the same time as his own soldiers besieged Zhang Huang and others. Shen Xing didn't do it himself, but looked at the mysterious cloaked man with a complicated expression. Although it is not clear exactly who the other party is. But Shen Xing also knew the noble identity and strong strength of this adult, and he really couldn't figure out why such a big man, who was obviously their ally, would break the details of Wu Hook Sword, so that the divine soldiers fell into the hands of Zhang Huang, making him Shen Xing very passive.
If someone else made this kind of 'anti-water' move, I am afraid that Shen Ying would have already killed the sacrificial flag, but the adult in front of him, Shen Ying would never dare to offend in the slightest.
"Shen Shuai, be careful!"
A loud cry woke up Shen Xing, who was deep in thought. He raised his head, but was shocked to see a flame explode in front of him, which was clearly the Dao Fire Spell used by Zhang Huang Shicai.
Shen Ying subconsciously raised his hand to resist and protect the door. And at this moment, an extremely familiar sword flashed from under Shen Xing's ribs, and under the obstruction of Shen Xing's rigid body, it tore through the rigid body effortlessly with only a slight pause.
"Whew-"
A blood streak appeared on Shen Xing's waist, and his strong rigid body had no effect at all.
[This is the power of the Divine Soldier?] ]
Zhang Huang was overjoyed, you must know that he originally liked to use swords, but he didn't have the opportunity to learn the sword move of breaking the rigid body 'cutting iron', and now that he has obtained a divine weapon Wu hook, he doesn't have to learn to cut iron. Of course, the premise is that Zhang Huang always has a divine weapon.
[That's a ...... It's too strong! ]
Seeing that Shen Xing, whose strength was much higher than his own, flashed left and right in front of him, and the wolf was unbearable, Zhang Huang secretly sighed in his heart The power of the divine soldier Wu Hook, a divine weapon, completely subverted the difference in strength between the two.
Of course, the reason why Zhang Huang has this illusion is only because the twists he mastered made Shen Xing not have a chance to hit him, and if he did, he believed that with Shen Xing's powerful rigid body, he could break a few bones of Zhang Huang with a light move, even if Zhang Huang also used a rigid body.
"Honorable Envoy! Honorable Envoy! ”
Shen Xing, who was almost cornered by Zhang Huang, couldn't help but cry out for help from the mysterious cloaked man, this action made Zhang Huang suddenly lift his mind, of course he knew how powerful this suspicious guy was.
But unexpectedly, the mysterious cloaked man didn't seem to have any intention of helping Shen Xing, as if watching with interest Zhang Huang gradually force Shen Ying into a dead end by relying on his self-created twisted steps.
"Hey, hey, interesting, interesting......"
Under Zhang Huang's vigilance, the mysterious cloaked man let out a grim laugh, but he didn't have the slightest intention of helping.
This made Shen Ying feel anxious, seeing that his situation was becoming more and more dangerous, he couldn't help but shout, "Honorable envoy, you said that you wanted to save Shen!" ”
"Hey, hey, hey, the deity envoy said it. However, it means that if Sun Jian comes to kill you, the deity will definitely come to your rescue...... This little ghost. But it's not Sun Jian. The words of the mysterious cloak man made Shen Ying a little desperate, and he actually stood by and watched.
In the end, with the power of the divine soldier Wu Hook, combined with the extraordinary effect of the curved steps, Zhang Huang still killed Shen Xing although it took some time. This was impossible for Zhang Huang in the past. However, the divine soldier Wu Hook made the impossible possible.
The commander of the rebels, this is simply an incredible feat!
But Zhang Huang had no time to rejoice. Because he knew very well that the most terrifying person in the tent was not Shen Xing from the beginning, but the mysterious cloaked man who drank tea by himself from beginning to end.
[Friend or foe?] ]
Look at the suspicious mysterious cloaked man. Zhang Huang fell into deep thought.
Let's say this person is a friend. This person sat in the tent of the rebel commander Shen Ying, and seemed to have a good chat with Shen Xing, and it was clear that he was a person from the rebel side, either an alliance or a mastermind behind the scenes; But if it is said to be an enemy, if this person hadn't mentioned the details of Zhang Huang's divine soldier Wu Gou, Zhang Huang would not have the courage to kill Shen Ying at all, and the best result would probably be to flee after Xu Kun gave up his life.
But no matter what, Zhang Huang was wary of this mysterious man. That's definitely not going to let up in the slightest.
[Why don't you try it?] ]
Shaking the divine soldier Wu Hook in his hand, Zhang Huang, who was suddenly emboldened, thought about whether he could use the power of the divine soldier to try to attack this mysterious guy. Although this idea is suspected of revenge, the pressure on Zhang Huang from this mysterious guy is too great.
However, the mysterious cloaked man did not give Zhang Huang a chance to make a move, and after glancing at Shen Ying, who had fallen in a pool of blood, he looked at Zhang Huang and nodded slowly, and smiled in a terrifying tone: "Not bad, not bad!" …… We'll see you again, little ghost! ”
After saying this, the mysterious cloak man put down the teacup in his hand, and after a few laughs, the whole person seemed to turn into mud, quickly melted into the ground, and disappeared without a trace. Zhang Huang was stunned by this scene.
[Escape?] This guy can run away? ]
After being taken aback, Zhang Huang breathed a long sigh of relief.
Not to mention that Zhang Huang, who was holding a divine weapon, protected the seriously injured Xu Kun with the cooperation of the black feather crows and fought his way out of the encirclement, not to mention that the mysterious cloaked man, in just a blink of an eye, this person had left Ren Wujuntun with the help of the escape technique, and a figure appeared here on a nearby hill.
And before the mysterious cloaked man appeared, there was still a man on this small hill. It was a burly man, with a yellow scarf on his head, wearing a yellow power suit, and his eyes were also covered with yellow cloth, standing on the hill with his arms crossed, looking in the direction of Ren Wujuntun, and I don't know if he could see anything with his yellow clothed eyes.
It was the one who saved Zhang Huang's life in Mount Tai at the beginning, the dog!
Perhaps sensing something, the dog subconsciously came back to his senses, and swung his right arm violently towards the mysterious cloaked man who appeared behind him. Eventually, however, his fist stopped within an inch of the mysterious cloaked man, and he knocked on one knee and bowed, "Dog, meet the Divine Messenger!" ”
"Well, get up." The mysterious cloaked man nodded and motioned for the dog to get up, and then laughed and said, "That little ghost...... I really didn't expect that kid to come to this troubled water. ”
"What did he do?" The dog asked suspiciously.
The mysterious cloaked man put his hands behind his back and said lightly, "It's nothing, it's just killing Shen Xing." ”
"Shen Ying? Who? ”
"Oh, by the way, you don't know Shen Ying...... Shen Ying is the commander of the Left Route Army in the army under our ally Xu Zhao. ”
"That kid can kill the commander of an army?"
"Not the real strength of that imp. …… Shen Xing, that idiot, accidentally dropped the divine soldier Wu Hook into the hands of the other party. Thinking that Shen Ying was so frightened that he didn't even hold the divine weapon in his hand after eating Zhang Huang's several fire spells at that time, the mysterious cloaked man laughed.
"Will the death of Shen Ying, as the head coach, make a difference......
"It doesn't matter." The mysterious cloaked man shook his head and said lightly, "Shen Ying's life and death are insignificant, as long as Xu Zhao is alive, it is enough." …… The stupid Shen Xing actually wanted to take that little ghost under his command, but he didn't know that this move would ruin my plan for more than ten years, it was really innocent! ”
"......," the dog was silent, and after half a sound, he whispered, "That little ghost grows too slowly, if it goes on like this, when will he go to Luoyang?" ”
"Don't be in a hurry." The mysterious cloaked man smiled, "In my opinion, that little ghost has grown fast enough, there is no need for me to intervene, just pay attention to this little guy and don't mention that the money is eaten......"
"Those swordsmans? I haven't encountered it yet. ”
"Just because you haven't encountered it doesn't mean you won't run into it in the future. …… In short, you should be careful, Confucianism is not monolithic, maybe someone will tear up the agreement and harm that little ghost in advance...... The world only knows that Confucianism has a 900-year heritage, but they don't know that there is Taoist support behind it...... Thou shalt not be underestimated! ”
"The dog understands. …… By the way, when I was in Mount Tai, I met Tang Zhou. ”
"Tang Zhou...... Are you exposed to him? ”
Not really, but he must have doubted it. …… If that guy had arrived a few minutes earlier, I wouldn't have had to show up to save that little ghost. ”
"It doesn't matter. …… Tang Zhou, that's also an important chess piece! ”
The mysterious cloaked man laughed a few times, took a few steps forward, looked up at the night sky, stretched his arms, and took a deep breath.
"When that little ghost has the strength to set foot in Luoyang, this battle related to the world will really begin, I am really looking forward to it! …… That's what you think, right? The national teacher of the Han Dynasty, the incarnation of providence, the fifth palace yuan! One day, you will die at my hands, this is your fate! Hey, hey, hahahaha......"
At the same time, on the top floor of the tallest building in the imperial capital of Luoyang City, the fifth Gong Yuan, the fifth immortal master of the Han Dynasty, who was sitting quietly in the immortal mist and sandalwood in the attic, suddenly opened his eyes as if he could perceive all things, and then slowly closed them.
“…… Very foolish! (To be continued......)
