Chapter 11: The Warrior Fights the Adulterous Thief
Xu Huang was going crazy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
He is a native of Yang County, Hedong County, young and determined, studying everywhere, not only familiar with reading the scriptures, but also practicing a good martial arts, on the art of arching horses to a county is not right. It's a pity that his background is not high enough, and he was finally favored by the county guard Wang Yi when he was nearly thirty years old, and he was a small official who caught thieves. I thought that I would only be a county adjutant in my life, and even the chief of the ink ribbon was out of reach, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come in an instant, and it seemed to open a smooth avenue for him.
The source of opportunity is that the thief becomes an official. Bai Bo Guo Tai and others gathered to rise up and disturb Hedong Africa for a day, and Xu Huang also had a lot of dealings with them. Two years ago, Beizhong Lang sent Niu Fu out of the town of Anyi under the order of the Taishi, and led the Guanxi Xiongshi to attack repeatedly, and finally killed Guo Tai, and the remnants retreated back to Xihe. There was a general named Yang Feng under Guo Tai's command, who was appointed as a lieutenant by Niu Fu and allowed to recruit troops in Hedong County. So Yang Feng personally came to visit Xu Huang, and said I know that you are very capable of fighting, it is too condescending to be an official in the county, and there will be no future, it is better to come with me, so that I can fight with a knife and a gun in the battle formation - the power of the Taishi is in full swing, Niu Zhonglang will be the son-in-law of the Taishi, leaning on the arm, we have such a big thick leg on the bar, and the general will have a chance to do it in the future!
Xu Huang couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, so he bid farewell to Wang Taishou and led more than a dozen relatives and friends to join Yang Feng's army. Not long after, Zhu Jun recaptured Luoyang, expelled Yang Yi, Dongzhonglang general Dong Yue, Nanzhonglang general Duan Xuan, etc. were invincible, and Taishi ordered Niu Fu to cross the river to the south - Xu Huang followed Yang Feng, so he came to Henan and Hongnong to station. He was full of fighting spirit and devoted himself to meritorious service, but unfortunately he didn't get the opportunity - Niu Fu made his cronies Li Dao and Guo Yan fight against Zhu Jun, leaving Yang Feng behind, and ordered him to guard the grain and straw and the family. In a sense, this is also Niu Fu's intention to show Yang Feng's sincerity and want to accept his heart - but it has caused Xu Huang to only engage in logistics and not to fight.
I thought that Zhu Jun would be defeated in successive battles, and he would immediately ask for help from the Kwantung Prefecture, but when the Guandong rebels stabilized the territory and accumulated materials, they would inevitably make a comeback, and it would not be enough to rely on Li, Guo and other troops at that time, and sooner or later they would pull the Yang family army to the battlefield and live in peace for a few months...... At most one year, there will be a chance to show off their strengths. But without warning, a fire broke out in the backyard, Wang Yun and Lu Bu plotted to assassinate the Taishi in Chang'an, and then sent troops to attack, Xu Rong, Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen and other Zhonglang generals surrendered one after another. Niu Fu was quite tough at the beginning, not only refused to surrender, but also defeated Li Su, annexed Dong Yue, and put on a posture of going to fight with the rebels, who would have thought that this person was just a donkey dung egg on the surface, and occasionally several battalion sergeants made noise, he thought that the whole army was rebellious, as the main general of the first army, he actually packed the gold, silver and jewelry, and led four or five people to flee in the wilderness, and did not know where to go!
The main general disappeared, and tens of thousands of troops immediately dispersed. The main force of the army is Liangzhou soldiers, as well as a lot of Qiang people, Hu cavalry, after entering the Central Plains, they have coerced a lot of ruffians in the countryside, including the surrender of Yang Feng and other robbers, the composition is complex, the orders are different, and as a result, many teams rushed straight to Yang Feng's army on the spot, wanting to grab a handful of supplies first and then flash people home. Yang Feng was so frightened that he shrank in the tent and didn't dare to come out, relying on Xu Huang to fight desperately, staining his robe with blood, and finally dispersed the rebellious army. But when I went back to check the supplies, I was also robbed of thirty percent, and what is even worse is that many of the generals' families were taken away or escaped.
Yang Feng was anxious, and said that the materials don't have to be taken care of, you should quickly get all the family members back, otherwise when Li Dao and Guo Yan return from Henan, they will have to skin you and me alive!
In the past few days, Xu Huang led a small team of soldiers and horses, tracking everywhere, relying on his experience as a catcher, he really snatched back a lot of people. However, the most important thing is that there is a woman, who is the daughter of the school captain Dong Chengqian, Dong Xiaowei has always been good friends with his own Yang Xiaowei, and his daughter must be recovered. Besides, if it is a man, even if he is killed, after all, he will have a reason to defend himself in front of the parents in the future, if this little girl is humiliated by a thief...... Dong Cheng's face is about to be lost, is he willing to give up with Yang Feng and himself?!
So the main focus is on tracking down this Dong girl, and finally found some clues, chasing all the way down, Xu Huang is so anxious - seeing that he is approaching Luoyang, there may be Zhu Jun's guerrilla army in that place, there are many bandits, and the situation is complicated, even if he finds someone, he may not be able to take it back easily.
He secretly prayed to the heavens, don't say it, God bless the good man, and really sent him guidance. He was on his way this day, and suddenly a person flashed out of the forest in front of him, bald in a long shirt, dressed strangely - Xu Huang had never eaten pork, he had seen a pig run, it was estimated that it was a Buddhist monk - beckoned to him from a distance, and then pointed behind him: "General Gongming, the person you want to seek, through this forest, you can get it." ”
Xu Huang couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart, how does this monk know who I am? Not only did he drink the words in one gulp, but he also called me "general...... Riding the horse closer, he wanted to ask carefully, but the monk flashed into the forest and disappeared without a trace.
Xu Huang couldn't help but raise his hand to the sky: "If you get the daughter of the Dong family, I will release it from the Buddha!" So he abandoned the horse and walked through the forest, less than a mile, and sure enough, he saw the daughter of the Dong family at a glance-
Then I saw that the little girl was pitiful, disheveled, with a frightened face, and her eyes were scattered, like a little sparrow under the beak of a goshawk, cowering under a big tree. And the goshawk ...... Phew, it must be an owl, looking at it and looking like a human, but his face is full of **** (pure Xu Huang's brain) is approaching step by step, and he also poked out his sinful claws to the little girl......
Xu Huang was so angry that the three corpse gods jumped violently, that is, he pulled out the ring head knife from his waist, strode the meteor, and rushed straight towards the evil thief. At this moment, the Dong girl screamed in horror, shaking Xu Huang's head dizzy. He is an upright man, although he faces the thief, he does not want to sneak attack from behind, and when the Dong girl's screaming stops, he immediately exhales and opens his mouth, and warns the other party first: "The thief dares!" Then he rounded the long knife and slashed at the back of the thief's head.
In Xu Huang's estimation, even if he spoke first, his knife would not be avoided by idle people, and it would inevitably end up with a broken head and a corpse. But I didn't expect the figure in front of me to flash, and this knife was empty!
The "evil thief" that Xu Huang tried to split was naturally Earl Zhang Lu and Zhang, who was completely wronged. Fortunately, Xu Gongming shouted first, otherwise Zhang Luzheng was dizzy and at a loss by the screams of the Dong family's daughter, and he didn't notice that someone was close at all, no matter how strong his body was cultivated, he couldn't carry the sharp blade in the hands of the brave general, and it would definitely be a dead end.
But he was agile now, but when he felt the wind behind his head, he instinctively took a wrong step to the side, and Xu Gongming's thunderous knife fell short. Xu Huang was stunned, and couldn't help but feel his blood surge - this thief seems to have some skills, and when I come to fight with him, I will fight him for thirty times!
Zhang Lu raised his sword to grid - the sword is narrow and wide, if this is really true, it must be broken on the spot, so he also used a little ingenuity in his hand, patted the back of the knife with the spine of the sword, and took it slightly to the side. Hearing only the sound of "dang", Xu Huang's long knife swung away, but Zhang Lu couldn't help but feel that the tiger's mouth was shocked, his five fingers were numb, and the long sword almost fell off his hand.
Zhang Lu had already seen clearly at this time, the person who came was dressed as a sergeant, but he was not wearing a helmet, and he only had a short armor on his body to cover his chest and abdomen. The man was eight feet tall, more than half a head taller than himself, broad shoulders and thick waist, and his arms were barely thinner than his thighs. Look at the face again, about thirty years old, Chinese face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, wide mouth and beard - what a big man!
Zhang Luxin said that it was so dangerous, the knife just now, if I didn't use my skill to dial it, but held the long sword and hit it hard, just this guy's strength, not only can I break the long sword in one fell swoop, but the sword momentum will not fade, maybe he will directly cut me in the waist! But a small sergeant has such a skill, if I encounter any Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Ma, Huang, it is estimated that I will not be able to walk in a round, and I will be bleeding on the spot!
He had just killed a bandit, and he had a new understanding of his current skills, and he was full of pride, but after handing over a move to the big man in front of him, that little bit of confidence flew away in an instant...... What I can do is not enough to navigate the troubled world, so let's go back to the mountains and practice for a few more years.
Of course, you have to be able to escape this disaster before you can return to the mountain...... Zhang Lu's eyes fluttered left and right, and he saw not only the big man, but also many soldiers, all of whom were scattered at this time, forming a semi-encirclement, each with a big knife and spear, slowly approaching him. I can't even beat any of this, if someone really blocks the way, don't you mess with the knife and divide the body on the spot? Zhang Lu couldn't help but panic, hurriedly handed over the sword to his left hand, and freed his right hand to take out the talisman in his arms.
Over there, Xu Huang was slightly stunned, and said in his heart that this person has changed hands, what does it mean? Is it that he originally took his left hand as the main hand, or did he mean that he looked down on me, and wanted to resist the enemy with his unaccustomed left hand?
These soldiers were all fellow villagers of Xu Huang, and they followed him to Yang Feng and became a subordinate, so they understood Xu Huang's instructions. Although a few of them stopped, they still held their spears and blocked Zhang Lu's escape path, while the remaining few who held knives all bypassed some and went under the tree to see the Dong girl. One of the veterans put his knife back in its sheath and began to untie his armor......
When Zhang Lu saw this, he said in his heart, What does this mean? I'm not dead yet, so you're going to insult this woman in front of me? Is it tolerable or unbearable? Immediately, he turned to one side, and stabbed the old soldier in the back of the heart—the wind of "whoosh" sounded, and Xu Huangke forced over with a knife again, forcing Zhang Lu to withdraw his sword and retreat.
Earl Zhang is strong, but there is still a slight gap compared to Xu Gongming, and in terms of martial arts, even ten people can't beat one, so he doesn't dare not avoid it. But after all, he has been cultivating for several years, and his sensuality is already extraordinarily comparable - to put it bluntly, Zhang Lu is now a real "eyes to see six paths, ears to listen to all directions", you don't look at the dozen or so people around, everyone's subtle movements, through the corner of his eye, all fell into his mind.
Then he retreated, and at the same time saw that the old man did not intend to take off his arms to insult the woman, and after removing his leather armor, he took off his shirt and carefully covered the woman. The woman screamed again, but the decibel level was much lower than the one she had just screamed—presumably hoarse—and she didn't know how to escape, but kept rubbing against the tree behind her. But then the clothes fell on her body, and she still instinctively reached out and grabbed it, trying to wrap her body as much as possible.
Zhang Lu took a look, hey, it seems that these soldiers have no ill will towards the woman...... Could it be that they are not in the same group as those bandits just now? This is a misunderstanding, right? Just as he was about to say hello, between the lightning and flint, Xu Huang slashed at the top with a knife - directly choked back what Zhang Lu wanted to say.
Xu Huangli made a big move, and Zhang Lu suffered a loss in weapons again, did not dare to resist, and was forced to retreat again. Xu Gongming missed again, and he couldn't help but get anxious in his heart, so he waited to shout: "There is a kind of escape!" This kid is thinner than himself, and he has an advantage in dexterity, if he blindly avoids it, let alone thirty lilies, even if he is three lilies, I may not be able to take him!
But he was advancing steadily, so he didn't have time to speak again, but with his own pace and knife momentum, he shouted again: "Bang!" This voice seemed to have a substance, like a sledgehammer straight into Zhang Lu's chest, Count Zhang felt a tightness in his chest, and couldn't help but be angry. Not only will you be completely speechless, but your dodge footwork will suddenly stagnate.
After just a little effort, Xu Huang's long knife could be chopped down again, and Zhang Lu didn't have time to dodge, so he had to swing his sword to block it. This side attack was ineffective, Xu Huang twisted his wrist, the blade turned up obliquely, and between the sparks, a crack more than two points deep directly broke out on the blade. Fortunately, Zhang Lu reacted in time, and with the power of the slash, his feet rose into the air, shot back more than a foot away, and stumbled a little, so he barely stood firm.
He felt that his whole arm was numb, so he had to re-hand the sword to his right hand—the talisman had already been pulled out, and it was in the palm of his hand. But it also takes time to use the talisman for qi, and it takes even more time to open the mouth to distinguish, Zhang Lu is afraid that his talisman is not yet useful, and his mouth has not yet opened, look at this posture, as long as there is a slight mistake, he will be cut off by the big man on the opposite side!
He was really panicked, and a sentence came to his mind: "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." "I'd better run away first. But out of the corner of his eye, he saw that those soldiers had basically sealed off the whereabouts of their escape, and it was not so easy to escape even if they wanted to escape at this time!
was in a hurry, and Xu Huang's dancing knife approached again. Zhang Lu borrowed his strength to withdraw through the exchange of blades just now, and suddenly came up with an idea, and immediately dodged to the side, lured the other party to slash with a knife, and then swung his sword to block - taking advantage of the momentum of the blades to cross again, he turned over in the air, and flew straight towards the woman who was cowering under the tree diagonally......
Not only did Xu Huang panic and hurriedly turned around to save him, but even those soldiers raised their knives and spears one after another, and their postures changed -- do you want to save them? If the Dong girl is injured by that evil thief, I will not be able to redeem myself for a hundred deaths! But I am so far away that I am afraid that I will not have time to rescue at all, and it will be useless to run over...... Just when he was flustered and hesitated, Zhang Lu suddenly twisted his waist in the air and turned around, quickly changed direction, and stabbed a soldier blocking the road with his backhand. The soldier hurriedly swung his spear, dodged and dodged, revealing a big flaw on his side, Zhang Lu tapped his toes, and he had already passed by and jumped out of the encirclement.
The soldier couldn't help but be covered in a cold sweat, in fact, Zhang Lu was not much easier than him - just now with the power of Xu Huang, he pretended to sneak attack the woman under the tree, and handed over the weapon again, in fact, his right arm was so sore, that he couldn't lift it up, if the soldier didn't dodge, and blocked with a horizontal spear, Zhang Lu not only couldn't escape, maybe he was slapped on the ground directly by someone else's spear shaft......
Now that he had escaped from the encirclement, Earl Zhang no longer dared to be nostalgic, so he turned his head and ran away. The soldiers were still waiting to catch up, but they were stopped by Xu Huang with a wave of his hand - just the thief's body, jumping like a raccoon dog and flying like a falcon, once out of the siege, how could we catch up? It is important to hurry up and rescue the Dong family's daughter.
In the distance, I heard a voice drifting in the wind: "Today's incident is really a misunderstanding, are you willing to leave your name?"
Xu Huang replied in a loud voice: "Hedong Xu Huang is known as Gongming!Who are you?" but there was no sound and no response—it is estimated that the guy had already fled away.
