Chapter 31: Don't Come Unharmed
Although his body recovered and his internal strength improved greatly, in order to precipitate his state of mind and consolidate his cultivation, Yang Mo returned to Xiaoguan to cultivate after killing Feng Xingzi.
He learned from the servant that because Feng Xingzi was killed, the entire Guangping Mansion was jumping for a while, but in the end, because the murderer could not be found, he finally stopped working.
By the middle of February in the second year of Xuanhe, Yang Mo was dancing with a long sword in the Taoist temple, his moves were elegant and chic, and every move had a deep meaning, as if he was not just dancing the sword, but immersed in a wonderful realm.
In the courtyard of the Taoist temple, there is an old apricot tree with a small child's arms, and the apricot blossoms are blooming at this time, and the apricot blossoms fall one after another when the breeze blows.
I saw the apricot blossoms swaying and flying in the air, and the sword dancing under the tree, such a scene was like a silk painting that should not appear in the world.
At this moment, a brisk footstep suddenly sounded outside the door, and the delicate Cheng Wan'er walked in with a food box.
When Yang Mo saw him come in, he stopped the long sword in his hand and said indifferently, "Miss Cheng is good." ”
Seeing this, Miss Cheng was sour by Yang Mo's indifferent attitude, but she still lifted the food box in her hand and said, "Immortal Chief, I made an apricot blossom cake with my own hands and brought it to you to taste." ”
Yang Mo put away his long sword, and did not take the food box, but said flatly: "Xiaodao doesn't like sweets, but thank you for your kindness." ”
Cheng Wan'er saw that Yang Mo didn't even accept anything, so she couldn't help but look a little sad, stomped her foot and threw the food box on the ground, turned around and ran out.
What Cheng Wan'er didn't notice was that where her food box was pressed, the apricot petals that fell from the tree were all neatly halved.
Looking around, within the range of Yang Mo's original sword dance, all the petals that fell on the ground were cut in half from the middle by the sharp object, neatly and neatly.
It turned out that when Yang Mo seemed to wield the long sword casually just now, he unknowingly cut all the petals that fell from his side with the blade of the sword.
This kind of terrifying swordsmanship is what Yang Mo has practiced in the past three years, after being injured, without the influence of internal force, he can control his body more clearly, and practice swordsmanship more and more unpredictable.
At the same time, every time he practiced the sword, he could feel a true intent of the sword in the dark, although it was still very vague, but I believed that as he continued to cultivate, he would be able to comprehend this sword intent sooner or later.
"Immortal, how do you put things on the ground." A voice sounded, and Yang Mo saw that it was Alu, a servant sent by the Cheng Mansion to take care of his life, who came back.
Alu said and hurriedly went up to pick up the box that Cheng Wan'er put on the ground and said, "It's sent by Miss again, Immortal Chief, I didn't say you, our family ......"
Before Aru could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yang Mo and said, "Have you ever found out the news I want to know when you go out this time?" ”
Hearing this, Alu hurriedly said: "Xiao I went to the market this time to find out the news that the immortal chief wants to know, then there is indeed a Lu Yijun in Yan'an Mansion, but now it is not only in Yan'an Mansion." ”
Yang Mo's eyes lit up and said, "Let's talk about details." ”
Aru thought for a while and said: "I heard from those businessmen from the northwest that two years ago, a rebel army suddenly appeared in Yan'an Prefecture, because everyone wore red scarves, known as the Red Turban Army, and they said that the Red Turban Army acted very strangely, and they did not attack the big cities and small counties at all, but developed their forces in the township, so the government did not pay much attention to it at first. ”
Aru thought for a while and said, "But as soon as the New Year passed last year, the Red Turban Army suddenly rose up, not only Yan'an Mansion has them, I heard that the nearest Xiangzhou Mansion to us is besieged, and the official wants to manage it, but he can't manage it." ”
"Have you found out the name of their leader?" Yang Yu continued to ask.
Aru replied: "I didn't ask specifically, but everyone called the leader the king of the east, and said that the king of the east was a real man, and the merchant said that the king of the east had led a large army to fight a battle with the Western Xia a few years ago, and finally won the battle, which is something that the officials and soldiers can't do." ”
Hearing this, Yang Mo suddenly understood something in his heart, it seemed that a seed he had inadvertently sown had grown into a towering tree at this time.
Thinking of this, he instructed Aru: "Help me find some merchants and errand runners, and let him help me deliver a letter to the Red Turban Army, and I will give a lot of money if I want." ”
Watching Aru leave, Yang Mo looked up at the sky, he had just gotten the news that Liangshan had already laid down Zengtou City, and the tranquility of Dongping Mansion would not exist for long.
On the first day of the third month, when Yang Mo was practicing martial arts in Guanzhong as usual, he saw Cheng Wan'er suddenly running in in a panic.
As soon as Cheng Wan'er entered the door, she said to Yang Mo: "Immortal Elder is not good, then Liangshan has sent an army to fight Dongping Mansion, and it will be unsafe here immediately, you better flee with those merchants." ”
When Yang Mo heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said, "It's really the hardest thing to accept the grace of a beauty." ”
thought so in his heart, but said in his mouth: "No need Miss Cheng, thanks to you and Lord Cheng's life-saving grace, Xiaodao will not leave at this time, besides, I will also have some martial arts, and I can help if I stay." ”
After saying that, Cheng Wan'er had to dissuade him, but he just asked him to take him to see Cheng Taishou, but Cheng Wan'er couldn't help but take Yang Mo in the end.
When he arrived at the Taishou Mansion, Yang Mo saw that all the officials on the line were preparing to deal with the war, and their expressions were solemn, and the atmosphere in the entire mansion became tense.
After seeing that Cheng Wanli Taishou, Yang Mo didn't wait for the other party to speak, so he spoke first: "Lord Taishou, Xiaodao heard that the Liangshan thieves were going to attack Guangping Mansion, and thought that Xiaodao was also familiar with martial arts and knew some medical skills, and wanted to do his best for this Guangping Mansion." ”
Cheng Taishou heard this, and he didn't say what he was about to say, he thought about it and said: "The immortal chief has a heart, but the war is very dangerous, since you know how to heal, it is better to go to Dong Dujian to help and heal the wounded soldiers." ”
Yang Mo nodded in agreement after hearing this, and Cheng Taishou sent someone to call Dong Ping and arranged Yang Mo to Dong Ping.
During the war, Cheng Taishou, who was originally a little disdainful of Dong Ping, was also polite to Dong Ping at this time, and even Dong Ping did not directly refuse when he said that he wanted to take Cheng Wan'er.
And after Yang Mo followed Dong Ping to leave the down payment, he couldn't help but want to laugh when he looked at the strong man in front of him, and he didn't think it was strange that the other party was wearing an official uniform when he saw him last time.
But today, after Dong Ping wore armor, he also planted two small flags in the quiver behind him.
However, he wanted to laugh at Dong Ping, but Dong Ping didn't have a good face for him because of Cheng Wan'er, so he directly arranged for him to guard the city at the city gate.
Yang Mo didn't care much about this, and when he went up to the city tower, those sergeants were a little strange to see such a handsome young Taoist guarding the city. At the beginning of the month, he saw that the dangerous Dao god Yu Baosi of Liangshan, and the living Shanpo Wang Dingliu came to deliver the war book, and was beaten by Dong Ping and let go, and then the nine-patterned dragon history entered the city to be arrested.
In the middle of the month, Song Jiang listened to Wu's strategy, feinted to attack Wenshang County, and asked the people to help the old and the young to come to Dongping Mansion, and Gu's sister-in-law took the opportunity to blend into the city.
Yang Mo saw all this, but he didn't take any action, because he understood that if he wanted to complete the battle, he had to wait for an opportunity to come.
Towards the end of the month, when he was standing on the tower, he heard three whips in the distance, and he quietly jumped out of the city, and returned about half an hour later, but by this time his face had a look of confidence.
At the end of March, Shi Jin made trouble in the prison and released the prisoners in the prison to make a rebellion, and Dong Ping led his troops to fight the Liangshan army outside the city for the first time.
After Dong Ping returned to the city, Cheng Wan'er came to Yang Mo with a miserable expression, saying that her father had promised to marry her to Dong Ping after the war in order to protect the city.
At the beginning of April, Dong Ping, under the urging of Cheng Taishou, fought the Liangshan army again, returned at night, stood under the city and shouted to open the door.
When the defenders of the city were brave enough to open the door, they were stopped by Yang Mo by force, and after dozens of officers and soldiers besieging Yang Mo to no avail, they had to invite Cheng Taishou.
Yang Mo bluntly said to Cheng Taishou that Dong Ping had surrendered to the thief, and then said to Dong Ping, who was still shouting in the city: "Cheng Dujian, then Song Jiang undressed you and pushed you to eat, but he is the lord of benevolence and righteousness." ”
When Dong Ping heard this, his face was shocked, and at this time, the Liangshan army that was following behind Dong Ping saw that Dong Ping had no result in opening the city gate, so he impatiently pressed the military horse up.
At this moment, Yang Mo ordered the officers and soldiers to light all the torches in the city, and the surrounding area was red, which also reflected his figure on the city wall.
Looking at Song Jiang and other Liangshan heroes who were lined up in front of the battle in the distance, Yang Molang shouted: "Song Gongming, Dulonggang is three years old, let's really come unharmed." ”
