The one-eyed old man turned his head to look at the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty around the valley who had killed thousands of black-clothed knights and had no power to fight back, and the sky that had already brightened, relieved himself, turned his head to a big man beside him and said: "Tell the brothers to solve the Tartar as soon as possible and clean up the battlefield, that kid from Lanyu is dozens of miles away, and he can't stay here for a long time." ”

Zhu Quan and Xu Ying heard what the old man said, and it seemed that they were also friends and enemies with the Ming army to which Lan Yu belonged, so they couldn't help but frown secretly, and said in their hearts: I won't just get out of the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's mouth again.

"Who are you practicing martial arts with, girl?" But it was the old man who raised the long knife in his hand and pointed at Xu Ying coldly and shouted. said this in his mouth, but he hesitated in his heart, and secretly thought: When the old boy was in the army with me in the past, he went to assassinate Xu Da, the marshal under Zhu Yuanzhang, and when he went, he was never heard from, didn't he die a long time ago? Why is it that today's girl's swordsmanship seems to be the disciple he taught? It turned out that he was strong in martial arts and experienced in the rivers and lakes, not only saw that Xu Yingnai was a woman dressed as a man, but also had questions about her teacher's origin.

Xu Ying listened to his tone of voice in her ears, but she raised her eyebrows, and said in her heart: This place is a bitter cold place in eastern Liaodong, far away from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, why is this person with a Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent?

Zhu Quan's eyes turned in his heart, and he thought: This old boy is strong in martial arts, and he can also see the origin of the girl's martial arts in three moves and two styles, and it is obvious that he is also very familiar with Qin Zhuofeng's old monkey, but I don't know if it is his enemy or friend? Seeing that the old man and the knights around him were all dressed up as Han people, he thought to himself: Seeing that they are also Han people, the chance of friends is greater than that of enemies, and after making up his mind, he said loudly: "The master of the two of us is surnamed Qin Zhuofeng. ”

The one-eyed old man nodded, and said, "That's it." Jumped off the horse and walked to Xu Ying's side.

Seeing that the other party's expression was relaxed, Xu Ying was already relieved, and was about to put the long sword into the sheath, when a cold light suddenly flashed in front of him, and the double knives were slashed left and right. Caught off guard, he had to take the long sword in his hand and make a hard move.

Zhu Quan saw that this old man heard Qin Zhuofeng's name, and suddenly attacked again, he couldn't help but sink in his heart, and said in his heart: Could it be that this old boy is the old monkey's mortal enemy? was about to strike at the other party, but saw the old man jump two steps away on his own, stopped, the cold light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "Sure enough, it is Qin Zhuofeng's old boy's unique internal strength." In the past, the old man was in the army with him, and he often learned martial arts by himself, and he knew the difference when he tried it. At this time, he and Xu Ying handed over the blade, and he already believed Zhu Quan's words in his heart, knowing that with a person with strong martial arts like him, he could see the foundation from the other party's internal force.

Xu Ying saw that this old man was an old friend of his master's army, and he was overjoyed, and he hurriedly held the long sword, bowed down and said: "The junior Xu Ying is the personal disciple of the family teacher Qin Zhuofeng, dare to ask the old senior's surname?" Speaking of this, after a pause, Zhu Quan pointed his finger and said: "This is my junior brother, named **Bo." When he said this, he secretly thought in his heart: The master used to serve under Chen Youliang, and this old man claimed to be his old friend in the army, could it be that he was also a subordinate of Chen Youliang? It is precisely because of this concern that he does not dare to say Zhu Quan's name, God knows what trouble this old man will cause after knowing that he is Zhu Yuanzhang's son?

The one-eyed old man put the double knives in his hand into the sheath, looked at Xu Ying and Zhu Quan at the same time, and said in a deep voice: "The old man's name is Feng Tieling. Speaking of this, he suddenly recalled his old friend Qin Zhuofeng, who had been ordered by Chen Youliang to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang's right-hand man, Generalissimo Xu, before he disappeared. At this time, thinking of the surname of the girl in front of him, he couldn't help but say coldly: "You are also surnamed Xu?" But what do you call Marshal Xu Da? ”

Xu Ying saw that Feng Tieling saw her family background, so she had to grit her silver teeth and said softly: "Marshal Xu Da is the father of the family. ”

To the surprise of the two, not only did Feng Tieling not get angry, but five or six black-clothed and black-armored knights behind him who were close to his age all bowed to Xu Ying and reported their names.

Xu Ying and Zhu Quan couldn't help but wonder when they saw that the hostility of these old men had greatly decreased.

Feng Tieling sighed and said in a low voice: "We are all the survivors of the war, these old brothers are the same as me, and their lives are all given by Marshal Worship Lingzun Xu. ”

At this time, most of the thousands of Northern Yuan soldiers in the valley who had not had time to escape with Highlander had already been hanged, and only the remaining hundred or so people were still wailing under the butcher's knife and iron hooves of the black knight. At this time, most of the black-clothed knights had already begun to clean up the battlefield, cleaning up the weapons and war horses thrown by the Yuan army everywhere, in an orderly manner, and it seemed that the division of labor was clear and orderly.

Feng Tieling saw that Zhu Quan and Xu Ying couldn't bear to be slaughtered by this, and couldn't help but snort and said, "If you see your family being slaughtered by the Mongol Tatars like this, and you see the scene of the Han village in the eastern part of Liaodong slaughtering the entire Mongol Tatar village, you will feel that there is nothing wrong with our actions today."

Zhu Quan heard Feng Tieling say this in his ears, and suddenly recalled in his mind that last night, he was in the blue jade army, and was suddenly attacked by this group of Yuan troops at night, Wang Dahu cut the head of the Northern Yuan centurion in a different place, and the blood splashed his body, recalling the scene of his own brother Wang Erhu seeing his brother's tragic death, howling to chase and kill the enemy, and couldn't help but be silent. I thought: War is so cruel, this is the case in this era, and in a few hundred years, nothing will change. Since I can't change this era of golden iron horses and smoke, I can only adapt to it.

Feng Tieling recalled the battle report he got from the scout, and dozens of miles away was his sworn enemy, Lan Yu's army station, and suddenly said, "You two are following Feng Sheng and Lan Yu's expedition to Nahachu's Ming army?" ”

Zhu Quan and Xu Ying knew that they couldn't hide the shrewd Feng Tieling in front of them, so they had to nod.

Feng Tieling groaned: "Yesterday night, when you were attacked by this group of Mongolian Tatars at night, Lan Yu's army was still camped in the east direction more than thirty miles away. At this point, he must have changed his route and will not stay where he is. ”

Zhu Quan couldn't help jumping up when he heard this, and said angrily: "You knew last night that our army would be attacked by this group of Yuan troops, why didn't you help?" ”

Feng Tieling sneered when he heard this, and said coldly: "Yes, I am here last night following this group of Yuan troops who attacked you. Lan Yu, as well as Chang Mao, Chang Sheng's brothers, and their dead ghost Lao Tzu Chang Yuchun, and the old man have a common hatred, why do you want to save Lan Yu's kid? ”

At this time, more than 1,000 remnants of Highlander's soldiers had been slaughtered by the black-clothed knights under Feng Tieling, and the spoils of war had been packed.

Feng Tieling pondered for a moment, and said to Xu Ying and Zhu Quan: "Girl, Lan Yu must no longer be in place at this time, you two should follow me, wait for me to take you to meet someone, and arrange for him to send you back to the Lan Yu army." With that, he turned on his horse and led the assembled thousands of knights out of the valley. Zhu Quan and Xu Ying knew that they were looking for the tens of thousands of troops in this vast land of eastern Liaodong, and they were undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, so they had no choice but to follow Feng Tieling.

After running for dozens of miles, the army came to a rather hidden valley, Feng Tieling ordered his subordinates to arrange patrol scouts on the high part of the hillside, then sat down on the top of the slope, greeted Zhu Quan, and Xu Ying and the two came to him alone to talk.

Zhu Quan had experienced two surprise attacks and battles by the army in one night, and had already become a frightened bird, at this time, seeing Feng Tieling's army resting in the valley, he couldn't help but ask: "The knights under your command are resting here, aren't they afraid of another sneak attack on Lan Yu or Tartar?" ”

Feng Tieling laughed when he heard this, pointed to the clear sky, and said, "This place is located in an open plain, and when the weather is clear, the scouts on the hillside are enough to see the movement of the army more than ten miles away. But it is not a good opportunity for a sneak attack, if it is a surprise attack, it should be chosen when the wind and rain are strong, and the thunder and lightning are combined, even if tens of thousands of cavalry gallop, it is easy to hide from the local scouts.

Zhu Quan heard Feng Tieling say this, and muttered secretly in his heart, it seems that the timing of this sneak attack is also very particular, and it is necessary to choose a good time to obtain the greatest effect.

After an hour, a scout on the hillside suddenly ran to Feng Tieling's side, bowed down with a happy face, and said, "General Qiyu, Shen Peng, they have arrived." ”

Hearing this, Feng Tieling quickly came to the top of the slope and looked south.

Zhu Quan and Xu Ying stood beside him and looked into the distance, but saw a long dragon coming from a few miles away, as if it was a huge convoy, and the direction of travel was the valley where Feng Tieling and others were stationed to rest.

Feng Tieling couldn't help but be overjoyed, and ordered, "You go and pick them up here." When the knight heard this, he hurried down the hill, beckoned to some of the knights in black, and galloped away towards the huge convoy in the distance.

Zhu Quan and Xu Ying saw that the convoy in the distance seemed to be full of goods, not like an army, so they couldn't help but look at each other, and said in their hearts: After all, the speed of such a huge convoy is limited, and it is difficult to hide the scouts of Lan Yu and Mongolian Tatars, but how did they come here safely? It's really weird.

After a long time of incense, he saw one of the knights hurrying back, galloping up the hillside, coming to Feng Tieling's side, placing two wine jars and three wine bowls on a big stone in front of Zhu Quan and the others, and smiling at Feng Tieling: "General, the wine you have been waiting for for a long time is here." ”
