When Ruan Wenlong heard this, he hurriedly agreed, turned his head to avoid Bai Wenbo's terrifying gaze, turned around and beckoned everyone to push the winch in the opposite direction, and was about to close the door.

This winch was already in disrepair, and Ruan Wenlong listened to Qiu Yizhi's strategy, so he took advantage of everyone's inattention to move his hands and feet, and now no matter how hard the guards tried to push it, they couldn't push it in the slightest.

Bai Wenbo stood aside, and saw that the guards had been tinkering for a long time, and the gate of Tongguan had not been closed, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What the hell are you doing here?" Why don't you close the door for the old man! ”

Ruan Wenlong was really afraid of this old general with a straightforward and irritable temperament, and stammered: "Old General Bai, this winch seems to be ......."

"What seems like it?" Bai Wenbo shouted.

"It seems...... Seems to be broken. Nguyen Van Long replied tremblingly.

Bai Wenbo listened, pushed Ruan Wenlong away, and sure enough, he saw that the fifteen or sixteen guards behind him were already sweating, but the winch showed no sign of turning.

Seeing this, Bai Wenbo became furious, stretched out his right hand, and scolded Ruan Wenlong with a ladder like a chicken: "The old man usually sees that you kid is not authentic, and today he really caused me a big disaster!" Look at Lao Tzu who doesn't tear you up now! "His eyes were wide open, as if he were about to burst into flames.

Ruan Wenlong was frightened by Bai Wenbo, and he almost lost his mouth to explain the plan of Qiu Yizhi and others.

At this time, he heard the hundred households surnamed Liu beside Bai Wenbo say loudly: "The old general is slow, and there is a group of Youyan cavalry who are following the pursuit from afar, which should not be underestimated. How to deal with it, please show the old general! ”

When Bai Wenbo heard this, his anger calmed down slightly, and he casually threw Ruan Wenlong away, and said: "You kid don't go anywhere, just stay on this wall, and wait for Lao Tzu to be busy for a while, and then come back and settle accounts with you!" ”

After that, Bai Wenbo took a few steps forward, put his hand on the pergola and looked forward, and said: "The Yan thief is very powerful, and it should not be underestimated. Someone's coming! Pass my command, beat the drums of war, all the sergeants are in place, take out the wooden rolling stones, and do not underestimate the enemy! He added, "Go and pass on the other guards, be sure to repair the winch as soon as possible and close the gate again!" ”

In this way, the veteran Bai Wenbo's concise and orderly military deployments were conveyed one by one through the heralds, and the humid air that enveloped the entire Tongguan became tense.

Qiu Yizhi hid behind Ruan Wenlong, listening to Bai Wenbo's deployment, and sweat oozed from his head.

According to his original plan, it was just to open the gate of Tongguan, and then break the mechanical winch, let the Youyan army in, and then break through Tongguan in one fell swoop. But he didn't expect the old general Bai Wenbo to be so pragmatic, and he actually came to the front line in person to stop the defense affairs with great fanfare. If he had known this, Qiu Yizhi would have instructed Yu Chi Lianghong to take the risk of killing Liu Baihu on the spot who went to report the news, and this trouble would have been spared.

But now it's too late to regret it, Qiu Yizhi saw that this veteran was extraordinary and experienced, and he was by no means an easy object to deal with, so he could only talk about personnel at the moment.

So Qiu Yizhi secretly walked up to Ruan Wenlong and asked in his ear, "How much time will it take to repair this Tongguan gate?" ”

Ruan Wenlong was just subdued by Bai Wenbo's momentum, and when he listened to Qiu Yizhi's question, he seemed stunned: "Oh, the villain just loosened the pulley belt, and the layman can't fix it in ten days and half a month, and those who know how to do it just need to flick it with their hands." ”

Qiu Yizhi listened, frowned and said, "That's not possible!" It's best to make some kind of tricks, so that this thing can't be repaired in ten days and half a month. ”

"Then it's just a matter of cutting off the belt." Nguyen Van Long replied, "This belt is made of the tendons of several prime-aged bulls, which is difficult to repair in a short time. Even if it is shipped from other places for backup, it will not be able to be loaded in three or five days. ”

"Then you still don't do it?" Qiu Yizhi urged.

Ruan Wenlong was scolded by Bai Wenbo in front of him, and now he was urged by Qiu Yizhi, under the heavy pressure, his face was discolored, and he replied in a low voice: "Your Highness doesn't know, this cow tendon belt is extremely strong, unless you break him with a saw, where can the villain get a saw in a hurry?" ”

Qiu Yizhi was also anxious at the moment, and he didn't want to think about it, so he secretly took out the sword of the Western Regions that was as sharp as clay from the scabbard of the official knife, handed it to Ruan Wenlong, and said to him: "You use this knife to try it!" ”

Ruan Wenlong cautiously took the sword, raised his eyes to look at Qiu Yizhi with a serious face, and saw Wei Chi Lianghong and Zhao Chengxiao standing behind him, and then he knew the truth that "it is easy to get on a thief ship, but it is difficult to get off a thief ship".

He stubbornly walked towards the winch, and in a few seconds, the first half of his mediocre, speculative camp came to his mind; Immediately afterwards, the scene of glory and wealth in the second half of his life, and the sound of dogs and horses appeared vividly in front of him.

Before he knew it, Ruan Van Long was standing less than a step away from the winch, raising his sword and about to plunge it into the crack of the machine.

Bai Wenbo, who was still commanding the army to prepare for defense before in the blink of an eye, noticed Ruan Wenlong's unusual behavior at this moment, so he shouted: "Ruan Wenlong, what do you want to do?" ”

Ruan Wenlong was awakened from his dream by this loud shout, and the whole person suddenly stood in place, his right hand holding the black sword was raised high, but it seemed to forget to move downwards in the air, forming an extremely funny posture.

Bai Wenbo was originally a layman, but in fact, at this time, Ruan Wenlong only had to shirk a sentence: "There seems to be some stuckness in the winch machinery, and the villain can fix it with a flick of a knife" and other perfunctory words.

Ruan Wenlong was a person who was not very clever, and he had never experienced such a big scene of life and death, so he was stopped by Bai Wenbo with a simple single sentence, and said hesitantly: "I...... I...... I ......" but could not say any more.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi was afraid that the plan would be exposed, and he couldn't care about his identity, so he broke off behind Ruan Wenlong: "General Ruan, what are you still doing in a daze?" Getting promoted and getting rich is just between the knife in your hand! ”

Ruan Wenlong's nerves were anesthetized by the word "general" again, and a smile actually appeared on his face, and sure enough, he inserted the treasure knife into the gap between the winch, and turned it a few times in it, and picked it hard.

Qiu Yizhi's Western Regions Treasure Knife is extremely sharp, even pig iron can cut it, not to mention the tendons of bulls that are more than tough but not hard. So with the faint sound of impact from below, the winch finally lost the restraint of the transmission belt, and tilted it again and again, like a dead human head.

Seeing him behaving like this, Bai Wenbo bullied Ruan Wenlong without saying a word, lifted his collar, and scolded angrily: "Lao Tzu asks you, what are you doing just now?" ”

Ruan Wenlong didn't answer, an elusive expression appeared on his face, and he looked at Bai Wenbo in a daze, as if he was still half-asleep and half-awake.

Seeing this, Bai Wenbo became more and more angry, and was about to raise his voice to ask again, but he heard Liu Baihu, a pro-soldier, whisper in his ear: "The guards who will repair the gate have now arrived!" ”

Bai Wenbo nodded, and forcefully pulled Ruan Wenlong, who was dragged in the air by him with one hand, to the ground, and ordered: "Why don't you go and repair the door quickly?" If it can be repaired right now, Lao Tzu will have a heavy reward! After that, he glanced at Ruan Wenlong, who was lying on the ground and rubbed his buttocks, and said, "Show this kid to the old man, I still have something to ask him." ”

As soon as these guards came home from work to sleep, they were dragged out of the bed, and walked cautiously up to the wall with a stomach full of doubts, but they saw that Ruan Wenlong, who was very familiar with Ruan Wenlong, was reprimanded by Bai Wenbo for some reason, but no one dared to ask, so he had to obey the order, walked to the gate closing mechanism, and carefully checked it.

They carefully checked it a few times, and discussed it in a whisper, and then they elected a slightly bolder general officer, who stepped forward and ordered: "Old General Qiqi, according to the inspection of the villain and others, the cow tendon belt connecting the winch and the gate is broken, I'm afraid it can't be repaired in the short term?" ”

"By short-term, how long?" Bai Wenbo looked at Mr. Qian with burning eyes.

This Qian always looked a little timid by the old general with a white beard, and thought carefully before saying: "If there is a spare, work overnight, and it will take a day and a night at the earliest." But now there is no spare belt in the warehouse, if you want to transfer it from Dasanguan, I'm afraid it will take ten days......"

"What? Ten days! "Bai Wenbo is a person who knows the soldiers, and knows that if the gate of Tongguan is open for ten days, the Youyan army will already take advantage of the void to enter, and then there will be a winner and a loser.

Thinking of this, a nameless anger rose in Bai Wenbo's chest, and he pulled out the treasure knife in his hand with a "stunned" sound, and suddenly raised his hand and slashed diagonally at the shoulder of Ruan Wenlong, who was sitting on the ground.

Bai Wenbo's action was without warning, and it was extremely fast and fierce, and even Yu Chi Lianghong, who was outstanding in martial arts, realized that it was too late. When he stepped forward, he picked up the treasure knife of the Western Regions that was thrown on the ground by Ruan Wenlong, and when he stopped it, the treasure knife in Bai Wenbo's hand had already chopped off one of Ruan Wenlong's arms.

In an instant, steaming blood gushed out from the wound on Ruan Van Long's severed arm, flowing all over the ground, blending with the autumn rain that was constantly falling in the sky. The owner of this blood, Nguyen Van Long, fell lifelessly in a pool of blood like a flag falling from the top of the flagpole.

Bai Wenbo completely ignored Ruan Wenlong, who was killed by him, but was attracted by Wei Chi Lianghong's skill, put away his sword and asked, "Who are you?" has such martial arts, and serves in the official army, how could the old man not have seen it? ”

Wei Chi Liang Honghong has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, and his reaction is also fast, so he hurriedly turned around and protected Qiu Yizhi and said: "I am just a nobody, Ruan Qian always has the grace of knowing me, so he took the liberty to come to the rescue, but he was unsuccessful, what martial arts dare to show off in front of the old general?" ”

Bai Wenbo has lived for more than 60 years, read countless people, and saw that Wei Chi Lianghong was tall and vigorous, heroic and extraordinary, although he spoke politely, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, obviously not the so-called "nobody" in his mouth, so he said: "Are you a fool to be an old man?" Who are you, don't you recruit me from the truth! ”

Yu Chi Lianghong didn't know how to answer, so he had to turn his head and look at Qiu Yizhi.

Qiu Yizhi looked at him for a moment, and thought: If you still shirk it for no reason at this moment, lest this fierce-tempered old general immediately kill himself here; Only by truthfully reporting his identity, maybe Bai Wenbo will not immediately embarrass himself, and then wait for his father Zheng Rong to capture Tongguan, and everything will be fine.

Qiu Yi's mind had been decided, so he stepped forward and said: "The old general's sword is not old, and the younger generation can be regarded as a teacher!" The junior is none other than the ...... sent by Prince Youyan to Tongguan on an errand."

Halfway through Qiu Yi's words, Bai Wenbo looked up to the sky and said "haha" and said, "You yellow-mouthed son, how dare you speak wildly? What kind of person is Prince Youyan? His generals are like forests and his strategists are like rain, how could he send you, a boy whose pubic hair has not yet grown, to handle such an urgent matter? ”
