Chapter 196: Stopping
His words immediately caused a stir, and the eyes of his disciples who looked at Xu Haifeng were immediately filled with admiration and fear.
Grandmaster, what a loud and melodious term, for a martial arts practitioner, how could they not know the meaning of this term, the weight it holds.
The first sword sect of Cangzhou City in the north has always been the pride of their hearts, and on the rivers and lakes, when it comes to the fast sword gate, it is a well-known golden signboard.
It's just that when this gold-lettered signboard meets the grandmaster, then it is even more fragile than a piece of paper.
"Lord Lu Men really has good eyesight." Xu Haifeng smiled calmly.
Lu Yangming's face changed several times, and finally calmed down, barely squeezed out a smile, bowed down and said: "The old man doesn't know that General Xu is there in person, and where he offended, he still looks at Haihan." ”
Xu Haifeng waved his hand lightly and said, "Master Lu doesn't have to be polite. His eyes swept over the carriage behind Lu Yangming, and he suddenly understood it, and asked, "Even Kuaijianmen has to abandon his former residence and move his family?" ”
Lu Yangming's face quickly darkened, and he opened his mouth, as if he had a thousand words, but in the end he only said four words: "I can't help it." ”
Yes, it is these four words that have made many people leave their homeland and embark on that vast and ignorant road.
Xu Haifeng's heart throbbed, the Huns were able to successfully capture Jingshi, the Cheng family was certainly the culprit, but he and Jiang Kongming were also to blame.
For the sake of selfish desires, dragging the whole country into an earth-shaking turmoil, this ...... Is it worth it?
He shook his head vigorously, as if to throw the terrible thought out.
Because of Tang Rou'er's relationship, he and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have sworn to each other, although they are very harmonious on the surface, but they all know that there is already an unfathomable trench between the monarch and the minister. If Liu Zhengqi ascends the throne as emperor, then this monstrous hatred will be enough for him to do anything.
Even for the sake of self-preservation, for the sake of his family, his own race, or for his own ever-expanding ambition, he has to resist and break with the Liu family, which is inevitable.
However, the cost of doing so is a little too great.
Xu Haifeng's expression quickly returned to normal, and the short gaffe just now seemed to be just an illusion.
"Whenever there is a war in the Northern Xinjiang, our Kuaijian Gate will organize the children of the sect to go to support. He has already formed a blood feud with the Xiongnu martial arts, and there is no other person with me. Now, the capital has fallen, and the north is not guaranteed, and the old decay can only ......"
Speaking of this, Lu Yangming was a little choked, and he couldn't go on for a while, and the disciples behind him were also full of sadness, some of them clenched their hands into fists, if it weren't for the presence of the elders, they would have yelled back and gone desperately to find the Huns.
Xu Haifeng suddenly had an urge to sneer and reprimand, although the old man in front of him was full of mourning, but there was no sadness in his heart. His words were not so much about lamenting the world as about winning his own sympathy.
However, what made him feel relieved was that the men behind him were not pretentious, but sincerely angry and unwilling, they were the real hot-blooded men.
Xu Haifeng's gaze moved to Lu Yangming's body, with some depth, and a smile overflowed at the corner of his mouth.
Lu Yangming was furious by his heart, and he pulled his stiff face, but he couldn't laugh anyway.
"I wonder where the seniors are going?" Xu Haifeng asked as if intentionally, as if unintentionally.
Lu Yangming hesitated for a moment, but still replied truthfully: "South." ”
"Although the south is peaceful, it is a peaceful couple, if the Lord of Lu Men has a heart, why don't you go to Wolong City with Xu?" Xu Haifeng said loudly.
Lu Yangming's eyes lit up, although Zhang Yifei was his apprentice, but for him, how could an apprentice who was already dead compare with his future and wealth. If he can climb to General Xu, the commander of the Black Flag Army, it will be a golden opportunity, but he immediately thought that the army of the Caesar people is also eyeing the Western Front, and Wolong City is also a dangerous place.
Seeing that he was hesitant, Xu Haifeng snorted secretly and said loudly: "Wealth and wealth are in danger, does the Lord of the Lu Sect really have no courage?" ”
His voice was extremely high, not only Lu Yangming could hear it clearly, but several of his disciples could also hear it clearly, which immediately caused a stir.
Lu Yangming took a breath and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard Xu Haifeng's worm-like voice in his ears: "If you are willing to come, the head of the martial arts of the Black Flag Army is yours." ”
Lu Yangming's expression moved, he clenched his steel teeth, turned around suddenly, and shouted to the disciples: "The Xiongnu are powerful, and we move our family, so we have to do it." It's just a stealing life, and how can it be done by a man, now the commander Xu disregards the past suspicions, and allows us to serve with the army, and the old man will give up this remnant body to serve the country, if there is a kind, then go west with the old man, if you are timid and cowering, then please, as if there is no such mongrel in this door. ”
All the disciples bowed down at the same time and shouted, "I wish to go west with the master." ”
Xu Haifeng lost his mind slightly, even with his calm skills, he was dumbfounded.
What an old fox, an old fox who is more like an old fox than a child.
On the Western Front, Absolon was dressed in brocade robes, and even when he stayed in the barracks, he maintained his usual reading skills.
"Your Highness, we've been here for five full days." A young and powerful voice echoed heavily in the camp.
Absolon put down the glass cup in his hand, and he replied casually, asking, "Artuso, is the news of the spies confirmed?" ”
"Yes, it's decided. Xiang Ming and Xu Haifeng are not in Wolong City at this time, which is a great opportunity for us to attack. ”
It was a young man who spoke, very handsome, but a completely different kind of man from Absolon. His body was full of masculinity, because he had just come down from the fighting arena in the army, his bare upper body, a layer of bronzed skin under the refraction of sunlight and sweat, faintly exuded a metallic luster.
is like a cheetah that chooses people to devour, his body is full of strength and strong domineering.
"Wolong City? Isn't there a Black Flag Army stationed there? Absolon asked, slightly surprised, his bewitching face showing a flamboyant look that made Artuso's breath pause for a moment, and his aggressive momentum suddenly diminished by three points.
"I am leading the valiant Caesar's Second Army, and we will never be afraid of the Han army." Artusso promised loudly.
Turning his face sideways, Absolon smiled, and he asked softly: "You are the most brave and warlike general of Caesar's younger generation, and naturally you have heard of the achievements of the Black Flag Army, what do you think their combat effectiveness is?" ”
Artuso's face flushed, but fortunately, he had just gone through a fierce exercise, and he couldn't see it: "If the rumors are true, then we are indeed not their opponents in terms of the quality of the soldiers." But how can there be such an army in the world? ”
"Shhhh......h ”
Artuso's face turned even redder, and he didn't know whether it was excitement or excitement, he said in a loud voice: "I admit that the Holy Knights are indeed the first legion in the world, but their numbers are too small, if they meet my second legion, we must be the last to live." ”
"How many?"
"What?" For the second prince's brainless words, Artusso was at a loss at all.
"Alas...... I'm asking you how many people you have to sacrifice to achieve ultimate victory. Absolon sighed and muttered, what a stupid cow. If Artusso had heard it, he would have walked away at once.
"Twenty thousand...... No, more than 30,000 people. Artusso hesitated for a moment, then finally replied.
"Wow......" Absolon opened his arms exaggeratedly and exclaimed, "30,000 people, you must know that the Holy Knights have never exceeded 5,000 people." ”
Seeing Artuso's flushed face, he softened his voice, and a feminine and touching voice sounded in the room: "The combat effectiveness of the Black Flag Army is not necessarily weaker than that of the Holy Knights. ”
Artuso shook his head vigorously and said, "Impossible, the temple spent hundreds of years of hard work to form the Holy Knights, and there is no second such team in the world." ”
Absolon whistled loudly and said with a smile: "I know you don't believe it, but this inference is not from me, it was said by Grandmaster Auburn and Grand Duke Abelma." ”
Artuso's eyes widened, and it was clear that the answer was a surprise to him. He stared at the second prince's face tightly until he nodded his head heavily and firmly, and then hesitantly withdrew his gaze.
"So what should we do?" Artusso asked, no longer recklessly.
"Do nothing, just wait here. Anyway, our allies have already made the first move. Besides, the Grand Duke's order only told us to advance a hundred miles, and I have already complied with it. Absolon picked up his glass again, snuggled into the comfortable chaise longue, closed his eyes, and said no more.
To the south, endless teams are making long treks on the roads.
"How far is it?" Liu Zhengting looked back from time to time.
"Your Highness, you will soon be able to reach the south, as long as you arrive, you will be safe." A pair of cloudy eyes, embedded in a flat, wrinkled old face, leaned close together, smiling at him.
Liu Zhengting moved his head away in disgust, and said angrily: "Mr. Dong, you say that every time, but why hasn't it arrived yet?" ”
Mr. Dong shook his head and sighed: "Because the speed of the march is too slow, it is to delay time." ”
"Speed? That's not easy, give the order, let these slackers run for me, the sooner the better. Liu Zhengting shouted.
"Your Highness, the sergeants are already very tired, and if they march in a hurry at this time, I am afraid that they will not be able to bear it." Wang Honghan hurriedly dissuaded.
"Can't afford it? If anyone can't bear it, let them wait here to die. Liu Zhengting roared loudly, his voice was terrible, like the last mournful cry of a beast at the end of the road.
Facing His Royal Highness who was in a fit of rage, Wang Honghan sighed heavily, turned his head to look at Liu Zhengmin, who had a gloomy face and was speechless, and gave up his desire to continue persuasion.
At the urging of the commanders, the whole team began another round of high-speed progress. Although all the soldiers were deeply dissatisfied with this, none of them showed it, and they just silently followed the big army, because they were all the pride of the Han Empire and the real elite of the Han Empire.
The two deputy commanders glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness and worry in each other's eyes, was their choice really right?
