Chapter 73: Senior Brother, Are You Still Willing to Want Me?
Jiangxi is completely in chaos.
Without the leader of Xu Shouhui, his general Chen Youliang also died, and none of the generals of the rebel army obeyed anyone, and they were unable to elect a new leader who could serve the public.
In Jinling City, a group of officials couldn't help but be overjoyed.
For the time being, there was no pressure from Jiangxi, and Song Xuan directly ordered to mobilize 50,000 horses to the north again to capture Anqing and other places.
According to Lan Yu's military report in the north and the news sent back by Tsing Yi Wei, although Lan Yu is leading the army for the first time, his tactics and strategies are rapidly improving every day.
This kid is very self-aware, with heavy troops in his hands, but he does not waste at all, but fights steadily and steadily, city by city.
The first to fight with Lan Yu was Liu Futong's army.
But no matter what kind of conspiracy and tricks you Liu Futong plays, Lan Yu doesn't take the stubble, just put the soldiers and horses openly, advance step by step, and the artillery bombards a few rounds, and any army will collapse for you!
Although this style of play is slow, it is steady, so steady that Liu Fu jumped up angrily and scolded his mother.
is less than 20 years old, but he is as stable as an old dog, which really surprised Liu Bowen and other civil officials.
According to Li Shanchang, General Lan Yu was born to fight, and this kind of person was born destined to go to war.
Regarding Lan Yu's style of play, Song Xuan did not interfere with anything.
Famous generals have been fought again and again on the battlefield, and Lan Yu is still in the groping stage at this stage, and the rear command is indiscriminate, which is easy to disrupt his rhythm.
......
Song Xuan's forces are developing in an orderly manner, but the Emei faction and others who have made great achievements have been missing for a long time, which makes Song Xuan have some bad premonitions in his heart.
Until the weather was getting colder and colder, and when the first heavy snow fell in the cold winter of this year, Song Xuan finally saw the people of Emei.
One by one, they were dressed in linen and filial piety, and Zhou Zhiruo and several senior sisters carried the coffin and stopped outside the marshal's mansion.
"Shitai she ......"
Song Xuan pointed to the coffin, a little hesitant, exterminating such a bullish person, just died?
I haven't heard that there are any powerful masters in Jiangxi, with the skill of extinction, the sword of Yitian in hand, if she wants to leave, who can stop her?
"Senior brother!"
Zhou Zhiruo had a long sword hanging from her waist and was dressed in a white filial piety robe, but she rarely wore a veil on her face, as if she didn't want people to see her face.
Song Xuan stepped out, and without waiting for everyone's reaction, he appeared directly in front of her, and lifted the veil with his skills.
Then, a thumb-long wound clearly appeared on her gentle and beautiful face, and the flesh-red wound looked a little hideous.
Zhou Zhiruo screamed in surprise, hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his face, and looked at him with some pleading, "Don't look, senior brother, please, don't look at it!" ”
Song Xuan turned his head to look at Li Shanchang and ordered, "Here you are responsible for the arrangement!" ”
As he spoke, he took Zhou Zhiruo's arm and said, "Go out for a walk with me!" ”
If it was Zhou Zhiruo from before, she would naturally be overjoyed, but at this moment, she first died of her master, and there were more scars on her face, which was the time when she was helpless and inferior.
Thinkers
As soon as Song Xuan pulled her arm, she retreated in fear.
Seeing that the other party was not cooperative, Song Xuan was not polite, and directly pulled her over, carrying Zhou Meizi on her shoulders, and then in her exclamation, she quickly disappeared from everyone's field of vision.
Li Shanchang was dumbfounded, and only came back to his senses after a long while, and coughed dryly.
"That, you are all heroes, it's too cold, don't stand outside, if you have anything to say, let's talk inside."
.......
carried Zhou Zhiruo all the way out of the city, and it was not until she was in front of a river that Miss Zhou calmed down, and her tone was a little shy.
"Senior brother, let me go!"
Song Xuan smiled, put it on the ground, and said, "Now, can you tell me about the specific situation?" How did Eshitai's strength die? A master sneaked up on her? ”
Zhou Zhiruo shook his head and said, "There is no sneak attack by a master." We have been lurking in Nanchang for many days, and we have not waited for Xu Shouhui and Chen Youliang to relax.
As long as the two go out, they are almost always guarded by heavy troops, and it is extremely difficult to assassinate.
As a last resort, we could only choose a dark and windy night, sneak into Chen Youliang's mansion, and choose to forcibly kill Xu Shouhui and Chen Youliang and others who gathered together to drink! ”
"At that time, it was very chaotic, in addition to the normal guards, there were many crossbowmen and knife and axe hands hidden in Chen Youliang's mansion, and many of us were injured. After killing Xu Shouhui and Chen Youliang, Master escorted us out of the city, and we didn't get rid of the pursuers until dawn.
Then we found out that Master was full of wounds, and there were several arrow wounds that were even more critical. Master forcibly protected our hearts with internal strength, and after taking us to a safe place, we couldn't hold it at all. ”
Song Xuan suddenly understood.
Martial arts masters are not afraid of ordinary soldiers, but they are afraid of strong bows, if it is a large-scale attack by a crossbowman in the formation, even if it is Song Xuan, he does not dare to say that he is sure that he will be safe and sound.
"I miscalculated, I didn't expect Chen Youliang to be so insidious, and there are still a large number of crossbowmen lurking in the mansion."
"It has nothing to do with you, senior brother!" Zhou Zhiruo shook his head and said: "It's because we are too anxious, if we are more secure and find out the specific situation before we do it, the casualties will not be so big!"
On the way back, I talked a lot with my senior sisters, and everyone felt that that night, Chen Youliang laid down a knife and axe hand and a crossbowman, probably wanting to kill Xu Shouhui and seek to seize the position of the leader of the Jiangxi Righteous Army.
It can only be said that we were so unlucky that we hit the muzzle! ”
Song Xuan rubbed his forehead, also a little helpless.
It can only be said that it is indeed unlucky enough to exterminate them, and there are thousands of choices, but the most difficult day has been chosen.
It stands to reason that Chen Youliang murdered Xu Shouhui, and that was also a matter of Xu Shouhui becoming the emperor, who would have thought that this Wang Ba calf did not play cards according to the routine, and actually became an anti-bone boy in advance!
"What did Mrs. Shi confess before she died?"
Zhou Zhiruo took out a token from his arms and said, "Before the master sat down, he passed the position of the head of the house to me!" ”
"Before he died, Master specially asked me to bring you a message."
Song Xuandao: "What did Mrs. Shi say? ”
"Master said that she doesn't owe favors in her life, she owes you Song Xuan favors, and she has already paid it back with her life!"
"Gone?"
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Master asked us to take her body back to Mount Emei after her death and bury it with Gu Hongzi's uncle." ”
"Senior brother, when I come back this time, I'm here to say goodbye to you. If there is no accident, I will stay in Mount Emei next, and I will not go down the mountain easily! ”
Song Xuan said in a deep voice: "This is what your master asked before he died?" ”
"It's not!" Zhou Zhiruo shook his head, his face was a little sad, and said: "I've become ugly, where can I go if I don't stay in Mount Emei?" ”
"I'm such an ugly girl, are you still willing to want me, senior brother?"
