Chapter 306: Three Wars (3)

"The old man came today to say goodbye to his nephew."

There was a hint of silence in Li Yanbo's expression, although the battle of the right talents, although it seemed to be evenly divided, but Li Yanbo knew that he had lost.

Xu Haifeng is more than 40 years old from him, but today's battle is equal.

And what about a year from now, five years from now, or even ten years from now?

In the way of martial arts, the older you get, the slimmer the chances of stepping into a higher realm. Li Yanbo paid for himself and had no possibility of going further in this life.

But Xu Haifeng is different, he is still young, and he even makes Li Yanbo jealous.

He is in the prime of his youth, as long as he continues to work hard and accumulate a lot, he will one day be able to break through his neck and step into a higher realm.

What's more, just when Fang Cai was fighting, he sensed that in the true qi condensed by Xu Haifeng's hands, there was a power that he didn't know.

What this power brought to him was a new and completely alien feeling. With his decades of experience, this is by no means any kind of exercise he knows. But, for some reason, he had a familiar feeling.

This strange feeling of strangeness and familiarity in one made him extremely surprised.

"Where are the seniors? Are you going to Taiyuan? Xu Haifeng's heart moved and asked.

Nodding silently, Li Yanbo sighed deeply and said: "The main army of the Han Dynasty fought a decisive battle with the Xiongnu in Taiyuan, and Tohoti will definitely not stand idly by, and the general account between the old man and him for decades is also time to be settled." ”

Xu Haifeng lowered his head and groaned for a while, and asked, "Have you ever told Rou'er?" ”

"No, if you say it, it will only make her sad in vain."

In order to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts all his life, he was unmarried, and he had been lonely all his life, and his only concern was Tang Rou'er, who was like a father and daughter with him.

In order not to let his youngest daughter's family worry in vain, he specially came to Xu Haifeng and wanted to tell him through his mouth.

Xu Haifeng thought for a long time in his heart, and said suddenly: "Senior, junior has a reluctant request. ”

Li Yanbo was surprised, he looked at Xu Haifeng, the latter looked sincere, by no means pretentious, it can be seen that there is something to do. He asked in surprise, "If the virtuous nephew has something to do, just say it directly." ”

Xu Haifeng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "The juniors want to invite the seniors to live in Wolong City temporarily, and don't interfere in the battle of Taiyuan." ”

Li Yanbo's brows raised uncontrollably, and he asked in surprise, "Why?" ”

With his eyesight, he could naturally see that Xu Haifeng's words were from the heart, and he really didn't want him to go to Taiyuan.

He stared at Xu Haifeng tightly, and the look in his eyes gradually sharpened.

Xu Haifeng gave him a deep look and said, "Although the juniors know that there is something wrong, they still dare to ask the seniors to agree. He raised his head, looked at Li Yanbo's eyes, and said slowly: "The younger generation can promise the seniors that the Han people will win the battle of Taiyuan." ”

"Han Chinese?" As if figuring out the meaning of Xu Haifeng's words, Li Yanbo's face was full of surprise.

"Exactly." Xu Haifeng replied solemnly.

"What are you going to do?"

Xu Haifeng looked at him with an almost fanatical throbbing in his eyes, and this feeling was extremely rare for him.

Word by word, Xu Haifeng's chest was full of pride: "The younger generation will personally lead the Black Flag Army to fight a decisive battle in Taiyuan." ”

Cangzhou, before the prefect's yamen.

A burly man with a fierce face walked in under the escort of the sergeants.

He traveled all the way, unhindered, and no one dared to stop and intercept him, because he led the army to accept the surrender of the prefect Zeng Zhihong.

As the highest commander of Cangzhou City, even if he was in the yamen and went on a rampage as he wanted, no one dared to speak out against him.

"General Maimaiti is coming, and he is far away......

Zeng Zhihong, who got the news, hurriedly came out to greet him, just looking at him taking three steps and making two steps, with a smile on his face, he knew how deferential he was to Maimaiti.

Maimaiti looked at the deeply lowered head in front of him, a trace of disgust and disdain floated in his eyes, however, when Zeng Zhihong raised his head, his face had returned to normal.

"Lord Zeng, General Ben is here today, and he is really here on the orders of the national teacher." Maimaiti said loudly, his voice was loud and spread far away, including all the subordinates, everyone could hear it.

Zeng Zhihong was slightly startled, the national teacher in Maimaiti's mouth was naturally Hami stabbed, he didn't dare to slack off, and asked: "If the general has something to say, just give orders." ”

Maimaiti nodded, and a fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and Zeng Zhihong, who was staring at him, was furious in his heart.

"I heard that Chen Xinhong has a young son named Chen Jianqiang, right?"

Zeng Zhihong's heart tightened, and his breathing suddenly became short.

"When a certain soldier came to the city, Zeng understood the general situation and led the people to surrender. But Chen Xinhong didn't know how to raise it, and wanted to fight the whole army with the strength of one person, so such a fool should naturally be killed. Maimaiti continued.

Nodding his head with difficulty, Zeng Zhihong's forehead was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat.

"He deserved to die at the hands of General Ben's arrow, but I heard that he still had a son, but then he didn't know where to go, right?" Maimaiti said coldly.

Zeng Zhihong only felt bitter in his mouth, he suddenly knew that the matter of taking in Chen Jianqiang had been discovered by the people in front of him, and he was afraid that he would not be able to pass today's pass.

"Taking in the son of the traitorous party should be punished for the same crime, but the national teacher has a saying, if Lord Zeng can repent of it, not only will he not be blamed for the past, but he will also be promoted to the next level, and this canghua and the two states will be handed over to you alone."

Zeng Zhihong's face changed several times, and he suddenly said deeply: "The lower official understands, thank you for the grace of the national teacher, and ask the general to sit wide, and the lower official will come when he goes." ”

Maimaiti shook his head and said, "Don't be so troublesome, Master Zeng just go and Maimaiti will follow." ”

Zeng Zhihong smiled bitterly and took him to his mansion, along the way, he racked his brains, but there was nothing he could do. It's clear that you don't worry about yourself, so you follow to monitor.

Despite his reluctance, the carriage still came to Zeng's mansion.

Under the supervision of Maimaiti's sharp gaze, Zeng Zhihong walked into the mansion with difficulty.

When an old steward saw his carriage, he had already prepared to be by his side and stepped forward to say goodbye.

"What about Gongzi Chen?" Zeng Zhihong asked casually.

The old manager looked at Maimaiti hesitantly, and finally said, "In the inner courtyard, play with the little boy." ”

Zeng Zhihong nodded blankly, and took Maimaiti through the hall, corridor, and came to the inner garden.

There was a burst of laughter, two children in the garden were playing lively, and at the edge of the garden, a young man in his twenties was looking at them with a smile on his face.

Zeng Zhihong's gaze swept over the two children, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Master Zeng......" Maimaiti's cold voice came from behind him.

Zeng Zhihong shuddered smartly, turned around suddenly, and said, "General, please borrow the treasure knife in your waist and use it." ”

Maimaiti was surprised, but he still took out his waist knife and handed it over.

Zeng Zhihong is just a scholar, not to mention just a knife, even if he is fully armed, he will never be in the eyes of Maimaiti.

The sword light is as cold as water, imprinted in the eyes, so that people dare not force their eyes.

Zeng Zhihong gritted his teeth, suddenly strode out, and walked towards the two children in the courtyard.

As if feeling his murderous aura, the two ignorant boys looked at Zeng Zhihong who was approaching in horror.

Zeng Zhihong came to a person, his face that had been distorted to hideous was full of burning madness.

The boy was about to be called, when suddenly a bright light flashed in front of him, Zeng Zhihong raised his knife over the top, and suddenly slashed his head.

The boy was ignorant, watched the steel knife fall, screamed, and immediately fell in a pool of blood.

"Ah......h

The young man next to him witnessed this change and shouted, "Daddy, you ......"

Zeng Zhihong turned his head, and on his dead and gray face, his cold eyes like poisonous snakes stared at the young man tightly.

For the first time in his life, when he saw his father's expression like this, the young man suddenly froze in place, at a loss.

"Go...... Take your brother away. Zeng Zhihong pointed at the other boy who was stunned and shouted.

His lips twitched twice, and there was a hint of realization in the young man's eyes, and the horror in his eyes faded in a moment, leaving only a trace of sorrow that was extremely painful.

He jerked around and picked the boy up.

It was only then that the boy reacted and burst into tears.

The young man ignored it and strode along, his voice getting farther and farther away until it was gone.

Maimaiti glanced at the young boy lying on the ground covered in blood, his eyes were so old, just one glance, he knew that this person was certain to die.

"Okay, Lord Zeng's move will be pleased by the national teacher, Maimaiti congratulates you."

Zeng Zhihong turned around, returned the steel knife in his hand to Maimaiti, and said, "Thank you, general." ”

Maimaiti took it and returned the knife into the sheath casually.

Zeng Zhihong smiled and asked in a low voice: "General, this merges ...... state"

Maimaiti took out a volume of documents from his arms, handed it to Zeng Zhihong, and said: "The list of states is already here, and adults will have to worry a lot about it in the future." ”

Zeng Zhihong took it with both hands, his face was full of begging and please, and the hands holding the roster actually had a trace of unfree trembling.

A look of extreme disdain suddenly flashed in Maimaiti's eyes, and he was no longer too lazy to deal with the person in front of him, so he casually arched his hand and turned away.

Behind him, Zeng Zhihong bowed his head deeply and said in a loud voice: "Congratulations to the general." ”

The footsteps faded away, gradually, inaudible.

Zeng Zhihong's hands trembled more and more, and he sat down on the ground suddenly, as if he no longer had any strength in his body. His gaze moved to the lonely corpse on the ground, and there was no longer a trace of blood left on an old face.

His head slowly lifted, and the two long strands of hair under his sideburns turned gray in a moment.
