Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Test
"Daoist Xuanchi, you're here!" The man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks seemed to see hope, and he and the big man hid behind Lao Dao.
Xuan Chi looked at the three of them with disdain, "The four ghosts of Chishui have the means to reach the sky, how can they be forced into such a situation by a girl?" ”
"It turns out that you are the four ghosts of Chishui!" Wei Xiaoyue has long heard that these four people are famous villains, and they have a name for adultery, adultery, abduction, and plunder, and the two leprosy ghosts correspond to adultery, while this big man and the little one are abducted, they are good at all kinds of secret weapons and incense, as long as they use the means that do not enter the stream, they are generally good-hearted!
Wei Xiaoyue said: "Xuanchi Daoist, I have heard of your name, you are the second leader of Qingxi Temple, and you are famous in the rivers and lakes, why are the four ghosts of Chishui colluding together?" ”
Xuan Chi looked at Wei Xiaoyue with a little appreciation, "With your words just now, I will let you die a dignified death, and you will never be humiliated by them!" ”
Wei Xiaoyue frowned, and summed up in her heart: "This Qingxi View is notorious, Xuanchi is a top master, the situation in front of him is very unfavorable, how to get out?" ”
"She killed the fourth child, she can't let her die too comfortably!" It was the rest of the leprosy who spoke.
Xuan Chi glared angrily, "How can I allow you to point fingers when I do things?" ”
After speaking, he waved his sleeves, the breeze swept through, and the leprosy ghost fell to the ground, so frightened that the remaining two ghosts hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and found that his life was not in danger, and this time he was relieved.
Dahan hurriedly said: "It's all up to the Taoist to arrange, we just obey the order!" ”
"Humph!" Xuanchi no longer looked at them, raised the dust in his hand and swept towards Wei Xiaoyue, this time the action was too fast, Wei Xiaoyue couldn't dodge, so he had to pick up the corpse of the leprosy ghost on the ground and throw it over, and in an instant, the corpse seemed to be cut by thousands of blades at the same time, and it rained flesh in the air!
"Every piece of this dust whisk is full of true qi, and the lethality is so huge!" Wei Xiaoyue was not lightly frightened, turned around and left, the old way was better, and caught up with Wei Xiaoyue in a few big steps.
The two of them quickly became entangled together, and after ten moves, Wei Xiaoyue slapped in the shoulder and fell from the air.
The three ghosts of Chishui hurriedly followed, for fear that Wei Xiaoyue would escape, and the three of them blocked her way back.
Xuan Chi sneered and said, "Don't struggle, get ready to die!" ”
Whisk the dust and struck at Wei Xiaoyue, she was powerless to resist, so she had to block the piccolo in front of her, hoping to block the blow.
At this moment, a long sword flew from behind Wei Xiaoyue, with a momentum like a rainbow, piercing the chest of another tuberculosis ghost blocking behind him without stopping, and flew straight towards the Xuanchi Daoist.
Xuanchi hurriedly turned over, and the long sword cut off a few wisps of dust and stuck it in the wall.
Immediately after, a figure roared in, and the two ghosts couldn't dodge, and their muscles were broken within a few moves, and they fell to the ground.
"Brother Ming!"
When Wei Xiaoyue saw that it was Lan Jiuming who came, she suddenly felt a sense of security in her heart, as long as he was there, she would always be safe!
"You're hurt?" Lan Jiuming saw that there was blood at the corner of her mouth, and asked worriedly.
"Don't get in the way, Brother Ming, be careful of this Xuanchi Dao Master, his skills are very strong!"
Lan Jiuming took a closer look and couldn't help laughing: "It turned out to be you old way!" ”
When Xuanchi saw Lan Jiuming, his face was a little unbearable, they had met before, in the black pine forest in the south of Hujia Village, Lan Jiuming saw him kill the Fire Charm Star with his own eyes, and the long sword was taken away from Xuanchi's hands!
"You little bastard, you met here!" Xuan Chi was a little panicked when he saw Lan Jiuming, partly because he felt embarrassed that the blade was robbed of face, and more importantly, he was not Lan Jiuming's opponent!
"It turns out that you are Xuanchi, the second master of Qingxi Temple, no wonder you have cultivated extraordinary, why did you also take refuge in King Dongming?"
Xuan Chi still looked arrogant on the surface, "Last time, you were lucky to let this little thief take advantage, and today you don't have such good luck!" ”
Lan Jiuming said with a smile: "Xuanchi Dao Chief, you are still fighting fiercely when you are old, take advantage of some strength to go back to your health, why do you have to participate in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, you are not my opponent, leave quickly!" ”
"You ......" Xuan Chi was speechless angrily, he secretly summed it up, the four ghosts of Chishui have all become dead ghosts, and it will be even more disadvantageous for a large number of sergeants to come in a while, it is better to endure it and save his life.
"Little thief, don't entangle with you today, report a name, and he will settle accounts with you again in the future!"
Lan Jiuming said loudly: "Under Lan Jiuming!" ”
Xuan Chi's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "You are Lan Jiuming?" ”
"If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname!"
"Okay, Lan Jiuming, a famous ranger in the rivers and lakes, don't think that you are invincible in the world, there is a day when you are guilty!" After saying that, Xuanchi turned around and left quickly.
Seeing him leaving, Lan Jiuming hurriedly pressed Wei Xiaoyue's shoulder, and the true qi was injected, alleviating a lot of pain, and at this time, the sergeants of the two teams also followed, "Xiaofeng is still fighting in front of the formation, I want to rush to help him, Xiaoyue, you go back to the mansion immediately, military affairs can't stagnate!" ”
"I'll go back, Brother Ming, you have to be careful!"
Looking at Lan Jiuming's distant back, Wei Xiaoyue sighed leisurely, and took the people back to the mansion without mentioning it.
But it was said that Wei Xiaofeng fought Guo Ping's three generals, and he was not timid at all, Yiquan Gong was originally a short weapon, but he didn't suffer at all in front of the battle, Guo Ping and the three of them trapped Wei Xiaofeng in the middle for a long time, and they didn't get a bargain.
"Xiaofeng, I'm here to help you!"
Lan Jiuming led a team to rush over, Wei Xiaofeng heard Lan Jiuming's voice, knew that the chaos in the city had been resolved, and suddenly felt full of strength, Yi Quangong was inspired by the true qi, and made a loud noise, Wei Xiaofeng waved hard, discounted the gun of an enemy general, Yi Quangong smashed the heart guard, and the enemy general fell to the ground and died!
Leaving Guo Ping and another general, Wei Xiaofeng shook his spirits and beat him head-on, Guo Ping was defeated, and hurriedly fled to the main formation, the general was a step slower, and was caught up by Wei Xiaofeng, Jin Gong broke his neck, and his life was whimpered!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Xiaofeng pointed forward, and the army rushed over like a tide, Guo Ping's army scattered and fled, trampling on countless dead, and Wei Xiaofeng killed until the sun went down to the west.
In this battle, Guo Ping lost his armor, and only a few hundred of the more than 30,000 horses fled back.
Wei Xiaofeng and Lan Jiuming returned to the city triumphantly with the victorious army, and met Wei Xiaoyue in the county government, and were about to write a war report to Phoenix City, but Yang Cang's messenger arrived first.
Wei Xiaoyue opened Yang Cang's letter and couldn't help but be shocked, "Yang Shaoxiong failed to defend Huyang County, folded more than 10,000 people, and returned to the Phoenix City camp!" ”
Wei Xiaofeng slapped the table angrily, "This Yang Shaoxiong is really, he can't even defend Huyang County, now that our side door is open, how should we guard it?" ”
Lan Jiuming said, "What is Yang Cang's plan? ”
Wei Xiaoyue was relieved of the letter in her hand, and said worriedly: "Old General Yang asked us to withdraw to Phoenix City!" ”
"Wouldn't it be in vain to withdraw?" Wei Xiaofeng was a little angry.
"What to do here?" Lan Jiuming asked.
Wei Xiaoyue said: "Old General Yang said in his letter that he would send a team to guard here!" ”
Lan Jiuming smiled and said, "I understand, he just asked you and Xiaoyue to go back, I stayed here and held on, and the entire strength of the Southern Army shrank in Phoenix City and went all out to meet Jiang Kai, right?" ”
Wei Xiaoyue's expression was gloomy and she nodded.
Wei Xiaofeng said: "Isn't staying here sending you to death? ”
Lan Jiuming waved his hand and said: "Now that the sun has been broken, Qingquan County has become a convex position on the battlefield, and it is easy to suffer blows from all directions, but if you give up completely, the southern army will face the enemy army in front and the Jedi of the Hunjiang River behind, so a team of men and horses must be left here to contain Jiang Kai's flank, you and Xiaoyue can't stay in this dangerous place, the most suitable person is me!" ”
Lan Jiuming couldn't help but admire Yang Cang's shrewdness, if he tried his best, he would definitely be able to hold back Jiang Kai's army, and his chances of winning in a decisive battle would be greatly increased, if he couldn't do it, he would just borrow Jiang Kai's hand to get rid of himself, and he would also be able to inflict a heavy blow on the other party!
"You can't stay here!" Wei Xiaoyue said, "Jiang Kai's military strength is about the same as ours, even if it is a tough battle, you may not necessarily lose, but you are defending the city alone, it is too dangerous!" ”
Facing Wei Xiaoyue's blazing gaze, Lan Jiuming put away his smile, and he said seriously: "It's hard, the southern army can't afford to be injured, it has always been at a disadvantage, this battle is very important, if it wins, it will march forward in the future, and it will go straight to Luo Xing Palace, so I have to stay here no matter what, besides, how can I be able to withstand thousands of troops?" ”
"But ......"
"Don't worry about me, without further ado, you guys hurry on the road, I expect that tomorrow morning will be the time for the decisive battle!" Lan Jiuming interrupted Wei Xiaoyue's words, and he said comfortingly: "If it really arrives at the moment when the city is broken, I will slip away, and they won't be able to keep me!" ”
Wei Xiaoyue was helpless, and a thousand words converged into one sentence, "Brother Ming, take care, I'll wait for you to come back!" ”
Lan Jiuming nodded, and kept urging them to leave, Wei Xiaoyue was reluctant, and finally got on the road with Wei Xiaofeng and sent them away, Lan Jiuming fell into deep thought!
Yang Cang left him 10,000 military horses, plus the generals of Qingquan County, about 30,000 people, how to face the unknown tomorrow, Lan Jiuming has no clue, there is about to be a battle of hundreds of thousands of people on the frontal battlefield, but the key to victory or defeat is in this small city of less than 30,000.
