Xuzi smiled and gently raised the lance in his hand. At that moment, Wu Heimin and the others thought that he was about to make a move, and instinctively protected Xu Maogong with weapons. To everyone's embarrassment, Asahiko did not ride forward. "It's a good lance!" He wiped the black and smooth lance repeatedly with the palm of his hand, lest a trace of ash fall on it, "It's a pity that I haven't learned how to use it well!" ”

"Maybe you're better suited to a knife!" Xu Maogong pushed away Wu Heimin's fork and Xie Yingdeng's knife, and walked over towards the long lance. "Confrontation with people, of course, what is easy to do!" He spoke in a very gentle tone, as if he was exchanging martial arts experience with Xuzi. But everyone knows that it's not, the simple dialogue makes everyone's hearts fall, and their throats and eyes are bitter.

"Give the lance back to you!" Xu Zi immediately turned the lance upside down, and the handle of the lance stretched out to Xu Maogong. It was a very dangerous move, and he held the front half of the lance with one hand, and he didn't use much force. Xu Maogong only had to stretch the lance forward at the moment he held the handle, which was enough to kill him.

But Xu Maogong didn't do it either, he stepped forward with a smile, took the horse lance, and then slowly retreated. At that moment, nothing happened, but from Cheng Zhijie's side, the eight long lances were flat on Xu Maogong's arms, but they seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

The autumn wind swept the fallen leaves and flew past everyone, floating like butterflies. The sky overhead was blue, and the sun was shining brightly in the four fields, making it a good season for bloodshed. Cheng Zhijie felt a little cold in his heart, took a few steps forward, and covered Xu Maogong behind him. He knew what that lance meant to Li Xu and Xu Maogong, so he didn't want to distract Xu Maogong at this time. "What nonsense?" He pointed at Qin Shubao with a lance, "If there is no nonsense, come over and fight a decisive battle, whether you fight alone or in formation, you choose!" ”

"I haven't finished speaking, it's a private matter just now!" Li Xu shook his head and motioned to Qin Shubao to ignore Cheng Zhijie's challenge. The confrontation between the two armies is not a contest between the rivers and lakes, and it will not play any role in single-handedness. "There will be a battle to the death between us, but it shouldn't be today!"

"Hugh is wordy, if you want to fight, you can fight! I want to make us give way with two nonsense, and there is no door! Wang Bodang was afraid that Xu Maogong still had the old feelings in his heart, so he hurriedly interrupted Li Xu's words with a roar.

His arrogant appearance is so annoying that even the Teller Biao under Xuzi's crotch can't get used to it, and he hissed, and his front hooves are raised high. Wang Bodang, who was on guard, was startled and quickly jumped to the side of the road. His movements were clean and clean, but he didn't get any applause. The large string of laughter could not help but come from the enemy troops, and some from the Wagang main formation. Minions have always admired warriors, and the behavior of the other party in a hurry to escape before making a move really can't win their respect.

"What are you laughing at, you have the ability to fight me to the death!" Wang Bodang's face turned red in an instant, brandishing his weapon and roaring. He had to get it back, or he would lose the support of his brothers. He still answered with a faint smile, Xu Zi arched his hand, which was counted as an apology, "General Wang, don't be as knowledgeable as my war horse, I still have a few words to explain to Mao Gong!" ”

"You can tell me, these people are my brothers in life and death. We advance and retreat together, and there is nothing to hide from each other! Xu Maogong poked the lance to the ground and replied loudly while holding the lance.

The main general on his side has already spoken, and Wang Bodang can't mess around. He put away his weapon and stood behind Xu Maogong. "Anyway, if you say it today, I won't agree to give way!" While listening to the conversation between the two masters, he was fierce in his heart. Xu Maogong, Wu Heimin and others have old friends with each other, and he only has hatred in his heart.

Cheng Zhijie and Xie Yingdeng also moved forward, not because they were worried about Xu Maogong's safety. The two of them could see that Li Xu and Xu Maogong had no murderous aura at the moment. On the contrary, in the demeanor of the two, they could see a deep sadness.

The friendship of youth is the most precious, because the friendship at that time was not mixed with any dust in the world. The son of a prince can be a brother to the son of a merchant, and the offspring of a thief can be a drunken and singing alongside the offspring of a general. When they grew up, they could clearly see the invisible gap between each other.

To Wang Bodang's surprise, Li Xu did not try to persuade Xu Maogong with the old feelings between them. He just candidly stated the purpose of the trip.

"The Turks invaded, and His Majesty was trapped by them in Yanmen. Last night I received the edict of King Qin. There are only more than 3,000 defenders in Yanmen Pass, and they can't support it for too long! Li Xu raised his voice a little, as if trying to make everyone hear.

This is the news he got in the middle of the night. The Turks really didn't have good intentions, and suddenly attacked during the alliance. Although they received a warning from Princess Yicheng in advance, the Imperial Forest Army still suffered a big loss and had to protect His Majesty to retreat into Yanmen Pass to defend it. The Turks attacked all the cities near Yanmen, killing people and setting fires all day long, and they never tired of it.

"What about our birds?" Without waiting for Xu Zi to finish speaking, Wu Heimin interrupted him loudly. "Emperor Lao'er has never done anything good since he succeeded to the throne, he died a day early, and everyone was happy a day earlier!"

"He is the emperor of our Central Plains!" Li Xu's gaze seemed to contain a kind of power, forcing Wu Heimin to keep his mouth shut. "You want to rebel and defeat me with dignity, and I will die without complaint. But if you can't send the emperor to the Turks, it will insult the entire Central Plains! He turned his head sideways and looked at Xu Maogong again, "The forty-first city of Yanmen has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and if the Yanmen Pass is lost again, the Turks will be able to drive straight in!" ”

Xu Maogong's gaze did not want to meet it, and he dodged to the side with difficulty. "Yang Guang is a bastard, but he is also a bastard of our Central Plains!" In the military formation, there were minions talking in a low voice. Like Wu Heimin, they were bullied by the government and wished that the emperor would die early. But the enemy general on the opposite side has a point, that bastard should die at the hands of the Central Plains people themselves, not be slaughtered like dogs by outsiders.

"You've been to the steppes and know how the Turks treat losers." Li Xu's gaze turned to Niu Jinda and Wu Heimin again. Niu Jinda and Wu Heimin's mouths opened, wanting to refute, but they couldn't say a powerful word. The two of them had been ordered by Li Mi to go out to buy war horses, and they knew the nature of the Turkic people. If the other party really drove straight into it as Li Xu said, the place he passed would definitely be a scorched earth.

Neither of them is soft-hearted, but when they think about stuffing piles of white bones, they don't feel a little weak-hearted. They turned their heads and looked at Zhang Liang, who was guarding the formation, thinking about what the other party had to think. found that Zhang Liang also lowered his head, I don't know if he was anxious because of the hot weather, and his head was full of sweat.

"I can't let you go!" Just when everyone was hesitating, Xu Maogong suddenly raised his head. "You and my Wagang enmity is not the same as the sky!" With one hand, he flattened the lance and pointed it at Li Xu. "Today I have to give an explanation to the cottage!"

"Yes, whether your emperor dies or not is none of my business. Hurry up and fight and let's see who the real heroes are! Wang Bodang, who had been worried, heard that Xu Maogong had rejected the other party's request, jumped up happily and shouted loudly.

"Heroes? Surely you are not! Seeing that the negotiation failed, Luo Shixin raised the lance and pointed at Xu Maogong and others and scolded angrily.

"Hugh has the advantage of his tongue, let's see the real chapter under the sword and gun!"

"Yes, if you have the ability, come over and see if you don't break your backbone!" There were also people in the Wagang army who were not to be outdone and scolded back in this formation.

"Hehe, I'm afraid you won't make it. Even if I die in battle today, I will die to resist the Turks destroying my homeland. But you are the pawns of the Turks, the father of the thief, and the pawn of the tiger! Luo Shixin sneered in his nostrils, and the expression on his face was full of disdain.

He was originally a bold lord, and when it came to anger, he was even more unscrupulous. "Your Wagang army wants to kill the emperor with the help of the Turks, and then ask for credit in front of the world. The calculation was loud. But few of those bastards in the court had bones, and once they couldn't see reinforcements, they surrendered to the Turks with the emperor. Our Central Plains people have all become the gray grandsons of the Turks. At that time, I will see that in the eyes of the heroes of the world, whether you Wagang Army are heroes or sinners! ”

The emperor and ministers will surrender! One sentence made everyone's hearts sudden. In the eyes of the Wagang people, Yang Guang is a nepotistic person, greedy for money and lustful, and a complete unscrupulous king. Such a confused emperor, of course, can't be expected to have backbone. Therefore, the situation described by Luo Shixin is very likely to happen, and once the imperial court makes a move to sue for peace in various places, the Wagang army will become the finger of a thousand people.

In an instant, there was silence on the field. Even the most vengeful person like Wang Bodang kept his mouth shut. All eyes turned to Xu Maogong, hoping that he would make a decision. The howling mountain wind also came to join in the fun, rolling the leaves and flying between the heavens and the earth.

"No matter what, you have to give an explanation to the Wagang Army!" Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, Xu Maogong straightened his body and answered with all his strength. "You and I are not friend or foe, I can't get out of the way with a few words!"

"I'm not here to kill that faint king, but to take revenge that day. So let's follow the rules of the rivers and lakes today! Cheng Zhijie snatched Xu Maogong's words and shouted loudly, "Come out with someone to fight me alone." If you win this lance in Lao Cheng's hand, our Wagang Army will let you go. If you lose, don't boast that you can rescue Yang Guang with this little person! ”

"Not only me, but all the soldiers and horses who received the order will rush to Yanmen!" Asahiko smiled, revealing a mouth full of white teeth. turned a life-and-death battle into a competition in the rivers and lakes, that is, only Cheng Zhijie can think of it. He reached to his waist and prepared to go out himself. Before he could pull out the black knife, Qin Shubao had already ridden his horse and ran past him.

"I'll meet the heroes of Wagang for a while!" Qin Shubao put his hand behind his back and motioned to Li Xu, and at the same time he sent out an invitation to Cheng Zhijie.

"Okay, Lao Cheng is here to accompany you!" Cheng Zhijie strode forward to meet him, and the long lance in his hand was raised, intersecting with Qin Shubao's horse lance in mid-air.

After greeting their opponents, the two turned back at the same time, separating themselves from each other. Seeing this, the generals of both the enemy and us had no choice but to retreat to their own positions. Even if some people do not agree to settle the grievances between the two sides in the way proposed by Cheng Zhijie, the battle has already begun, and everyone can no longer regret it.

Qin Shubao instigated the war horse and rushed forward. The long lance in his hand was like an oolong out of the water, and it went straight to Cheng Zhijie's chest. Between the lightning and the fire, Cheng Zhijie used a lance to go outward. There was a cacophony of metal rubbing, and the two of them parted with their spears. Cheng Zhijie was forced to retreat quickly by the momentum of the war horse, and then stepped sideways, turned around, and swept with a lance. Qin Shubao raised a long lance to greet him. There was another muffled sound, and the figures of the two were intertwined with each other, and the bright spear blade was dazzling.

"Knock, knock, knock!" The Wagang Army beat the drums of war and cheered on their heroes. The county soldiers did not show weakness, and the drums were suppressed like thunder. Hearing the urging drums, Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie became more and more energetic. The two long lances are divided and combined, sometimes like a goshawk striking, sometimes like a striking.

"The surname Qin is not authentic!" Three rounds later, Wu Heimin discussed.

The competition is fair, and Cheng Zhijie abandoned his mount when he climbed the mountain in order to chase the enemy army in order to take a shortcut. And the yellow horse under Uncle Qin's crotch is a rare good horse, and he is extremely fast when he sprints. With the advantage of having one more war horse, Qin Shubao has a big advantage in height and strength. At the start of almost every round, he was able to force Cheng Zhijie back a few steps with the impact of his mount.

"We've got to get this straight!" Niu Jinda nodded, agreeing with Wu Heimin's point of view. Before the two of them could speak, the cheers began again, and the two competing generals quickly separated. Everyone's face was dripping with sweat, and everyone's heart was full of respect for the enemy.

"I'm on horse, you're stepping down. It's really unfair to you to fight like this! After running for more than thirty steps, Qin Shubao turned the horse's head again and shouted at Cheng Zhijie.

"You general is very reasonable!" Knowing that each other's martial arts were between the best, Cheng Zhijie didn't dare to hold it up, and responded solemnly.

"Why don't we compare our strength!" Qin Shubao smiled and suggested. Without waiting for the other party to answer, the yellow horse under his crotch suddenly began to charge, and swept in front of the two armies like a bolt of lightning. Before everyone could figure out what he was going to do, they suddenly heard a shout: "Hey! Qin Shubao's long lance flew out like an oolong and stabbed straight into the rocks on the side of the road.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang on the ground, sparks splashed everywhere, and the five-foot-long lance disappeared into the crack in the stone. Qin Shubao nodded at the still trembling lance, as if he was very satisfied with his masterpiece. Then he turned his horse and shouted to Cheng Zhijie: "General Cheng can pull the lance out of the stone, even if Qin loses." My Qi County disciples have turned around here, not mentioning the matter of borrowing the road! ”

"Pluck!" "Pluck!" Wagang minions cheered for Cheng Zhijie loudly. Qin Shubao's horse lance is half an inch thicker than that used by ordinary people, and the lance is also more than a foot longer than ordinary horse lances. Therefore, just from the weapon, everyone can guess that his strength cannot be underestimated. But Cheng Zhijie's arm strength has always been the largest in the entire Wagang Army, and tough guys are respected in the cottage, so everyone is willing to see a wonderful battle.

"What a cunning Uncle Qin!" Cheng Zhijie spat and foamed at the palm, rubbed it, and then scolded with a smile. Striding forward, he grasped the handle of the lance with both hands and pulled it out with all his strength. "Hey!" "Hey!" With two successive exertions, the horse lance shook in the crack of the rock, but never withdrew half a point.

"General Cheng work hard!" Zhang Liang led the soldiers to chant. Out of respect for the enemy, the county soldiers also beat the war drums, and in the war drums and shouts, Cheng Zhijie's eyes widened and he exerted his strength again. The handle of the lance swayed left and left in his hand, but he could not withdraw.

"In this competition, I lost Lao Cheng!" After a while, he raised his red palm to all directions, and Cheng Zhijie announced loudly. With that, ignoring the disappointed sighs around him, he hugged the lance again, and with a sharp force horizontally, with a "click", the lance was broken in the rock.

"I'll give you my horse!" After breaking Qin Shubao's weapon, he let out a bad breath. Cheng Zhijie picked up his horse lance and handed it to the other party.

Qin Shubao stretched out his hand to pick it up, and when both sides held the lance at the same time, they compared their strength with each other, and then he and Cheng Zhijie looked at each other and smiled, turned around and returned to their own military formation.

"I'll let you go today. We'll divide the winners when you get back from the plug! Xu Maogong shouted loudly to the opposite side, and then ordered his brothers to evacuate Yukou and make way for the north.

In the midst of the disbelief, the county soldiers gathered their formation and quickly ran past the Wagang army. "Thank you!" When he was beside Zhijie, Qin Shubao pointed to the long lance in his hand and whispered. The lance was given to him by Cheng Zhijie, and the weight and length were just right.

"Let's go!" Cheng Zhijie smiled and nodded. He knew what Qin Shubao was thanking for, it was a secret between the two of them. He will keep this secret in his heart forever, and when he is old, he will take it out and drink alone.

The smoke and dust carried by the horses' hooves gradually faded away, leaving behind the silent Wagang peaks. The sun shone obliquely on the rocks, gilding the broken lance with gold spots. "It's a pity, it's a good lance!" Shan Xiongxin picked up the lance on the ground very regretfully and commented in a low voice. Just now, many people planned to try to pull it out after the enemy left, but they didn't expect Cheng Zhijie to actually make a biao and break such a good lance.

"I'm afraid it's hard to explain to Mi Gong!" Zhang Liang also stepped forward, as if evaluating this failed competition, and as if reminding something.

"I wanted to let them go." Xu Maogong withdrew his gaze from the direction where Xuzi disappeared and said with a smile. Seeing that everyone looked at him in surprise, he added in a low voice, "These three people are Zhang Xutuo's arms, and when they leave, it is our opportunity!" ”

Drunkard's note: I actually rushed back, update. Oh, by the way, I recommend Abo's masterpiece, "Bian Rong"
