Chapter 298: Courage
The onlookers felt that although Wu Yingying's knife went straight up and down without any tricks, it came with the power of heaven and earth, unstoppable, even if there was a Mount Tai in front of him, he would split it in half, and he couldn't help but secretly sweat for Yu Xi, and many people who sympathized with his experience told him to dodge quickly.
Who knew that Yu Xi didn't avoid it, raised the knife shortly, stepped forward and crossed the grid, only to hear a long sound, the horizontal knife in his hand was cut into two pieces by Wu Yingying, and a snowy blade with rain came to his face, throwing out water droplets and smashing Yu Xi's face painfully.
Chase and the others, who were familiar with Wu Yingying's knife posture, almost thought that Wu Yingying was about to cut Chase in two sections, but the knife in Wu Yingying's hand stopped firmly in front of the tip of Yu Xi's nose, and Yu Xi held the cut off half-cut horizontal knife in his hand, and still maintained a blocking posture, staring at Wu Yingying without blinking, without a trace of fear.
Wu Yingying smiled, put the knife into the sheath, and shouted: "It's a man!" He turned his head and said to Chase: "We will take this brother and enter the tooth barracks." Before Chase could agree, hundreds of Tang soldiers who were watching on the sidelines shouted sky-high, the heaviest courage in the five generations of the army, although Yu Xi surrendered prisoners for the enemy, but with his own bravery, he jumped to the rank of the pro-soldier, which is really admirable. But even so, the power of Wu Yingying's sword is also very terrifying, and no soldier is willing to risk his life. The sword has no eyes, and if you can't hold it in one hand, won't this person be cut in half?
When Yu Xi heard this, he was about to kneel down to Wu Yingying to thank him, Wu Yingying stretched out his hand to hold him from being short, and said in a deep voice: "Good man, kneel to heaven and earth, kneel to parents, in addition, I would rather die with a broken head than bend my knees to others." He saw that Yu Xi had no clothes to cover himself, so he took off his clothes and draped them on Yu Xi, turned around and continued to patrol the city with Hu Ze and others.
After following him, Chase hurriedly found a coat from the side and handed it to Wu Yingying, who casually told Chase to find two Hu Biscuits in the next city platform to pad Yu Xi's stomach first. Chase nodded in agreement, and when he came back, he punched Yu Xi's thick shoulder, and said with a smile: "Lord Wu takes such care of you, which makes my brothers jealous. Yu Xi is also a person with a heroic personality, and he also smiled: "How can you be a brother, I am fortunate to follow Wu Jie for a long time, so blessed." At this time, a cold sweat mixed with rain flowed down Yu Xi's spine.
Even Hu Ze was moved by Yu Xi's white blade and his face did not change, and he laughed with Wu Yingying as he walked: "Congratulations to Brother Wu for adding another strong general." Wu Yingying humbly conceded: "Thank you, Brother Hu, for making a fair decision just now, seeing that he is still a bloody man, my brother will stay by his side first." ”
At this time, the rain in the sky continued to fall, and although everyone was dressed in robes, they talked and laughed freely in the rain, and did not take this storm and the strong enemy under the city to heart.
"What? It's not allowed?" Liu Yi tightened his brows and shouted loudly, "I will definitely write a book to say something, the Song army is coming to the city, but the court will abandon a tiger general like Brother Wu, isn't this a traitor?"
Seeing that although Wu Yingying was silent, his face was not calm, Hu Ze rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment: "After patrolling the city defense with Brother Wu before the tenth day, even if Brother Wu was recommended to His Majesty, some people wrote to impeach Brother Wu for fornicating with the Song people, and the people witnessed Brother Wu and Cao Bin high-fived as an oath, and the Song people promised that if Brother Wu dedicated the city, he could be promoted to the Shengzhou Festival. His Majesty was furious about this, although he did not believe that Brother Wu would commit treason to the Song Dynasty, but he could not hand over the defense of the southern city to Brother Wu in charge. ”
What Hu Ze hid and didn't say was that the imperial court not only did not appoint Wu Yingying as the guard of the south gate as he expected, but he was also politely invited to the house by Prime Minister Xu Xian. Although Hu Ze's sex is like fire, Xu Xian's every word is deducted from the righteous name, so he has to swallow his anger. Subsequently, the military department also sent him two civilian officials, saying that they were helping him count the grain and grass posts, but in fact, they also took precautions against him.
"Huh?" Liu Yi opened his eyes wide, turned his head and asked Wu Yingying: "This must be framed by a villain, Brother Wu, you have to quickly write a book to defend yourself?"
Wu Yingying's heart chuckled, but the Tao still fell for the trick. That day, with Cai Yu in the suburbs to worship his ancestors, he had high-fived with Cao Bin for the oath that the Song people were not allowed to slaughter the soldiers and civilians after the city was broken, and Cao Bin intended to release the people who had been captured all the way back to Jinling, many people witnessed the scene that day, as for the content of the high-five, only he and Cao Bin knew, how to distinguish clearly. Fortunately, he has no military power at the moment, and he is deployed outside Jinling City, if he is in charge of the Jinling army as in the past, I am afraid that Cai Yu will immediately decide to trick himself into the palace and get rid of it. So he groaned: "That day, I drove out of the city, in order to protect the emperor, I took the responsibility to meet the Song people after the break. I provoked Cao Bin with words, and made him swear with me that he would not slaughter soldiers and civilians for no reason in case the city was broken. It must have been a divisive ploy by the Song people on this matter. It's just that the words of that day were only known to me, Cao Bin and Wang Miao, and I am afraid it is not easy to distinguish clearly. ”
When these words came out, Liu Yi and Hu Ze also felt that since Wu Yingying high-fived Cao Bin in front of everyone, it was indeed difficult to distinguish this matter, so they had to wait for the opportunity to explain to Cai Yu, and they couldn't find any good way at the moment. Liu Yi sighed: "It must be the opportunity of the king's milling, this person is really hateful, and he will waste my Jiangnan pillars without effort." The two sighed for a while and then left.
Wu Yingying smiled bitterly, some time ago he had no intention of fighting, but there was nothing, and now he has the heart to help Jinling defend the city, but he was forced to be idle because of suspicion, but Cao Bin and Wang Milling are all deep and wise people, and the northern soldiers are strong, and it is indeed very problematic whether Jinling can defend it. There is a way that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, no matter how Cao Bin recruits himself, he can't just hand over his life to others. Whether it was to prevent the Song people from breaking the city and then opening a killing ring, or the Jinling court decided to get rid of the hidden danger because of the discord plan, he had to find a way out.
So Wu Yingying found Chase and explained the reason why he could not regain military power.
Chase was following Wu Yingxing Qingming to follow Cai Yu that day, and he was very clear about the situation before and after the high-five of Wu Yingxing Cao Bin, although he did not speak, the look on his face showed that he was indignant about Wu Yingying's precautions.
Wu Yingying nodded and said: "At present, the imperial court is suspicious of me, although we only have five hundred brothers in Jinling City now, which is insignificant compared to the city guard army, but in order to prevent people from using this as an excuse to do my article, you can arrange for most of the Ya military camp to retreat to Changzhou, leaving only the most reliable twenty brothers in the city." The Song people are determined to win, whether Jinling can be held is still between five and five, and the two states of Changrun are ordered to step up the training of soldiers, and listen to my orders at any time, and there will inevitably be a fierce battle in the future. ”
