224. Take them home
Shenmu Fort.
As an important pass of the second line of defense of the entire Ningxia Guard, its importance is no worse than that of Hanshan Fort.
The entire Shenmu Fort is made of solid boulders, and towering arrow towers are built around it.
If Hanshan Fort relied on natural hazards, then Shenmu Fort was completely a fortress that had stopped the attack of tens of thousands of Mongolian iron horsemen.
On the city wall, the Vajra Sect Master Garoba from the grassland looked into the distance and slowly turned the Buddha beads in his hand.
"Why haven't you seen him come after all this time?" Garofan muttered to himself.
Beside him, a man in armor stood.
This person is the garrison of Shenmu Fort, Song Shengtao, who was once carried by Bibai.
After Bibai rebelled, he took the initiative to surrender and joined Bibai's command.
Hearing this, Song Shengtao smiled and said, "Master, with you here, he must be afraid and dare not come." ”
I heard that this Vajra Sect Master was a guest of honor, so he naturally had to flatter him.
"Amitabha."
Garoban recited a Buddha name lightly, looked at the bottom of the city wall, his eyes narrowed slightly, and sighed softly: "Why bother like this." ”
Under the city walls, more than a dozen scarred corpses were hung on ropes, all of which were in flying fish suits.
The bitter cold wind raged and made a "whining" sound.
Garoban recited the scriptures and sighed faintly.
As the master of the Vajra Sect, with his identity, he would not be willing to take action against these ordinary people unless it was necessary.
He wanted to capture these people alive, but these people were bent on death, and they broke their hearts one after another.
I don't know if that Lin Mang will come as promised.
"Ugh." Guru Garoba sighed slightly, slowly turned the beads in his hand, and looked into the distance.
Song Shengtao looked down at the corpse under the city, snorted, and sneered: "I don't know the current affairs!" ”
"I don't cherish the chance to give you a chance to live!"
After staying in this bleak and bitter cold place for half his life, in his opinion, no mission or responsibility is as expensive as being rich.
"Phew!"
"What are you pretending to be high!"
At this moment, in the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, a figure slowly walked by.
The pace is slow, looming from the dust.
Master Garovan opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "It's coming!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Song Shengtao was suddenly startled and shouted: "Be on guard!" ”
In an instant, a group of soldiers on the city wall drew their bows and arrows, and one siege weapon after another was aimed at the front.
Master Garofan frowned slightly, and muttered, "Is that human slaughter a swordsman?" ”
"What?" Song Shengtao looked puzzled.
Swordsman?
Isn't it with a knife?
Finally, the figure in the smoke and dust came into everyone's sight.
His bearing was free, dressed in white, and his robe was hunting.
Bundled black hair fluttered in the wind.
Master Garofan said: "It is said that the Ming Jinyi Wei Lin Mang is unparalleled in talent, and he has entered the realm of heaven and man at a young age, and today the poor monk has the courage to ask for advice. ”
The visitor shook his head slightly and said calmly: "I am not Lin Mang. ”
Master Garovan looked stunned and frowned, "Then who are you?" ”
The white-clothed figure slowly raised his head, and his tone was calm: "Zhang Yunfeng!" ”
"Zhang Yunfeng ......"
Master Garofan muttered to himself, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said in surprise: "Baiyun Sword, Zhang Yunfeng!" ”
Some time ago, a Han swordsman on the Mongolian steppe was born.
Jianghu people call it Baiyun Sword.
This person is revered as a chivalrous man, and has been wandering in various Mongolian tribes before, and has been appreciated by many nobles.
Of course, on the Daming rivers and lakes, this person is also known as the first swordsman in the south of the Yangtze River.
The reason why he knew him was because not long ago, Altan Khan of the Tumut tribe had sent someone to recruit him.
Guru Garoba wondered, "What are you doing here?" ”
Zhang Yunfeng raised his eyes and looked ahead, his gaze fixed on the face that looked at death as if he was at home, and said slowly: "Entrusted by others......"
"Take them home!"
The last word fell, and a sudden sword roared.
Three thousand sword intent surged.
Zhang Yunfeng pulled out the Baiyun Sword in his arms and walked towards Shenmu Fort.
As he walked, the aura on his body gradually climbed, and the true yuan was like a surging river, forming a terrifying might.
An invisible sword intent spread out from his body.
At this moment, he was like a sword.
A sword that wanders the world and is extremely arrogant.
Song Shengtao shouted coldly: "Release the arrow!" ”
In an instant, thousands of arrows fell like raindrops.
"Peng!"
"Peng! Peng! ”
Around Zhang Yunfeng's body, the sword qi turned into a terrifying tornado.
One by one, the arrows were completely shattered.
Garofan looked startled and said in surprise: "Great Grandmaster? ”
A trace of horror flashed in Song Shengtao's eyes.
Who is this?
Master Garofan shook his head slightly and said softly, "General Song, let your people stop, it's useless." ”
For a while, the sword qi was triggered.
The dust waves on the ground were suspended, condensing a sword of yellow sand.
Guru Garoban jumped down from the city wall, and with a sound of "dang" in his body, the golden light shone brightly.
"Amitabha!"
Garovan recited a Buddha horn lightly, looked at Zhang Yunfeng, and said calmly: "Zhang Shaoxia, why do you want to get involved in this matter." ”
"Why don't you just leave it here."
"You are just in the realm of heaven and man, and the poor monk doesn't want to deceive you."
"If you are willing to enter my tantric practice, the poor monk can introduce you to Master Sonam Che on your behalf."
For him, it was completely unnecessary to fight Zhang Yunfeng.
His real target is Lin Mang.
I'm afraid that Lin Mang deliberately let Zhang Yunfeng consume his strength, wanting to make a profit.
Zhang Yunfeng chuckled, walked over with his sword, and said slowly: "Zhang is a Han Chinese!" ”
"You're stepping on the Han soil!"
"This is the land of my Han people!"
"Daming swordsman Zhang Yunfeng - please advise!"
The sword rises, the wind howls!
In an instant, the sound of the sword resounding in the sky echoed in everyone's ears.
Zhang Yunfeng's figure disappeared into the dust waves, and a sword seemed to come from the west.
The entire sky seemed to be shrouded in boundless sword shadows for a moment.
Countless sword intents finally converged into a single sword.
This sword poured all his strength, and it was the first sword he had slashed with all his strength since he stepped into the realm of heaven and man.
A lotus blooms!
Accompanied by a sword shadow that reached into the sky.
The sea of clouds rolled, and the terrifying sword qi fell mightily.
A look of surprise flashed across Garofan's face.
The hands are folded, the Buddha light around the body is magnificent, and the Buddha seals are condensed and hovering around the body.
A primordial god law slowly appeared, pulling the power of heaven and earth to surge.
Master Garovan's qi and blood roared, instantly stirring up the wind and clouds, and attracting endless heaven and earth vitality to surge towards his body.
Tantric Mahamudra!
In an instant, a Buddha seal that was dozens of zhang huge and full of gold smashed towards Zhang Yunfeng.
The terrifying might of the city walls terrified and terrified.
The waves of air raged like a violent wind, knocking many people directly to the ground.
A palm poured into the sky, and the sonic boom continued.
Within a radius of 100 zhang, it was like the destruction of the world, and endless coercion fell.
"Boom!"
The sword qi collided with the Buddha seal in an instant, bursting out with an earth-shattering roar.
At that moment, there was a huge roar in everyone's ears, and their eardrums seemed to be shattered.
The wind and clouds shook, and the earth shattered.
Even Shenmu Fort was in violent turmoil, and cracks were everywhere in the strong walls.
The earth is covered with ravines.
In the smoke and dust, a sword light suddenly lit up.
The power of the surrounding heaven and earth reunited, shattering the only remaining Buddha light.
"Poof!"
Guru Garoban coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face was ugly, and his eyes were full of fear.
The smoke cleared.
Zhang Yunfeng walked with a sword.
The clean robe was already covered in blood, and the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.
Master Garofan's face turned pale, and he said coldly, "Zhang Yunfeng, do you really want to fight?" ”
"Is it worth it?"
Zhang Yunfeng didn't speak, and still walked towards Master Garofan.
The sword intent is recondensed.
Master Garofan glanced at Zhang Yunfeng unwillingly, recited a Buddha name, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Shaoxia is worthy of the name of a chivalrous man. ”
"The poor monk admires."
"Please~"
Garofan stepped aside and reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
If he fights again, even if he can win, he will win miserably in the end.
He didn't want to fight Zhang Yunfeng to the death, there was no need to fight.
Zhang Yunfeng glanced at him, put away his sword, and slowly walked towards the city wall.
Song Shengtao's face was full of anger, and he had the intention to stop it, but after seeing the scene just now, he couldn't say anything to scold him at this moment.
Zhang Yunfeng untied the rope, looked at Song Shengtao, and said, "Find me a board car." ”
Song Shengtao's expression was gloomy.
Zhang Yunfeng's gaze gradually became cold.
Song Shengtao was silent for a moment, looked at the soldiers behind him, and ordered, "Go find the cart." ”
Soon, several soldiers pushed a cart.
Zhang Yunfeng put the bodies of a group of brocade guards on the cart, pulled the cart, and gradually disappeared into the dust in the sunset.
"Haha!"
Suddenly, laughter rang out from afar.
"Master, keep your head."
"Soon, someone will come and pick it up."
Looking at Zhang Yunfeng leaving, Song Shengtao said with a gloomy expression: "Master, do you just let him leave?" ”
"How do you explain there?"
Master Garovan glanced at him and said calmly, "You're going to chase it?" ”
They are only working with Bibai, not for Bibai.
Song Shengtao's face froze, and he smiled awkwardly.
……
Pacify the rebellion camp,
The whole camp was dead silent.
In the air, there was a strong smell of blood.
The corpses of the White Lotus Sect were scattered all over the ground, and the previous chaos was completely calmed down.
The soldiers in the battalion began to clean up the battlefield.
Li Rusong walked over, looked at Lin Mang, and hesitated: "You didn't go to Shenmu Castle?" ”
Lin Mang's appearance was too coincidental, as if it had been premeditated.
He was also glad that Lin Mang appeared in time, otherwise he would have been buried here today.
The generals who followed Li Rusong also had different looks.
The previous scene made their mood still not calm down, and there was a faint trace of fear in their eyes when they looked at Lin Mang.
The last terrifying knife seemed to linger in my mind.
Every time it sounded, I felt a chill.
Lin Mang slowly wiped the embroidered spring knife in his hand, put the knife into the sheath, and said calmly: "Jinyi Wei will never have a prisoner. ”
Why is Tang Qi angry?
That's because he knew that that team of brocade guards had lost their chance of survival.
The so-called faith is more like an insult.
Li Rusong was slightly stunned.
A simple sentence, but he heard a trace of unspeakable sadness from it.
"Then you ......"
In this case, it was deliberate that the big tent was deliberate before, and he had long known that the White Lotus Sect was going to attack the camp?
"I'm just trying to bring them back."
Lin Mang replied lightly, and said, "But I met an acquaintance halfway." ”
"I learned something, so I rushed back."
Lin Mang suddenly smiled, turned to look at one of the people in the crowd, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
"Li Yunfeng!"
"You are guilty!"
Ping's words fell like a thunderbolt.
In the crowd, Li Yunfeng's face changed slightly.
Li Rusong frowned slightly, and said in surprise: "Lord Lin, what do you mean by this?" ”
Everyone's eyes turned to Li Yunfeng, and they were also surprised.
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Yunfeng stood up and said coldly: "Lord Lin, I don't know what you're talking about. ”
"Ben doesn't know what he's guilty of."
Lin Mang didn't speak, just stared at him with a cold expression.
For a while, the atmosphere was particularly solemn.
Li Rusong glanced at Lin Mang, then looked at Li Yunfeng, and said, "Master Lin, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it clearly." ”
He knew that he would never say such a thing for no reason.
Lin Mang said slowly: "The action route of Jinyiwei, this official only said it in the big tent, and few people know it. ”
"The people sent out by this official are all the elites who participated in the Huguang Rebellion with this official at the beginning, and they are proficient in light skills, and they are good at concealment, and it is difficult for ordinary grandmasters to catch them."
"What's more, they are changing hiding places at any time, and their routes of action are extremely hidden."
"If someone didn't leak it, how could it be such a coincidence?"
Li Yunfeng sneered and said, "What does Lord Lin mean, the news is going to be leaked?" ”
"Even if Ben will have a slight feud with you, it doesn't have to be this way."
"I will be the deputy commander in chief of counterinsurgency, what is the benefit of doing this?"
"There are a lot of people in the big tent, why do you say that it is the general."
"Mr. Li." Li Yunfeng arched his hand, looked at Li Rusong, and said, "Even if Lord Lin is a prisoner, he can't slander the general like this, right?" ”
The generals looked at each other.
If Lin Mang and Li Yunfeng are not in harmony, in fact, everyone knows this.
Several henchmen who followed Li Yunfeng interjected one after another: "Yes, how can General Li behave like this. ”
"Lord Commander, there must be some misunderstanding in this."
Li Rusong frowned slightly.
He didn't think it was a misunderstanding.
It's just that there is no conclusive evidence, and Li Yunfeng is the deputy commander-in-chief, so it is indeed difficult to convince the public.
Lin Mang said coldly: "When death is coming, I still don't know how to repent!" ”
"Ben will look at your whole body, but this mouth is the hardest."
"The war has been going on for two months, is it really your incompetence?"
Lin Mang snorted coldly, and said meaningfully: "Do you really think that the dirty transaction with Bibai doesn't know?" ”
Lin Mang took out a letter from his bosom and said coldly: "This is the letter you sent, do you need to read it in person?" ”
"Of course, what you are targeting is not only Jinyiwei, but also General Li and Ma."
"If the White Lotus Sect's attack on the camp is successful today, and General Li and General Ma are dead, there will be no generals in the imperial court, and you will have to be reactivated in the end."
"It's a pity, you didn't expect this official to leave, right?"
Li Yunfeng completely changed color.
Looking at Li Yunfeng's face, Li Rusong's expression was cold.
"Li Yunfeng, you are so bold!"
Li Yunfeng was shocked, turned around and fled into the distance.
But a knife light is faster than his.
"Poof!"
Li Yunfeng's running body stopped abruptly, and his head and body slowly separated.
A skull, with angry eyes, rolled to the ground.
The body slammed to the ground.
Quiet......
Everyone looked at the dead Li Yunfeng and was stunned for a while.
This is not a general with mixed qualifications before, but the deputy general of the Ningxia Suppression Army.
"Li Yunfeng colluded with foreign enemies, fornicated with the enemy, capital crime!"
Lin Mang put the knife into the sheath and threw the letter on the ground.
"Lord Lin."
Li Rusong was stunned for a moment, looked at the letter that was thrown on the ground, and said in amazement: "...... are you?"
"Fake." Lin Mang said.
Before this, he actually didn't have conclusive evidence, but in the entire camp, the only one who could have the courage to do this was Li Yunfeng.
Everyone was stunned, their faces full of astonishment.
Fake?
Everyone looked at Li Yunfeng not far away, and a chill couldn't help but rise behind them.
A fake letter, but instead deceived Li Yunfeng?
Ma Gui glanced at the dead Li Yunfeng and sighed slightly.
Unexpectedly, Li Yunfeng, who had been fighting with him for a long time, would die like this.
Lin Mang said calmly: "Come on, take them down, and interrogate them strictly!" ”
A group of brocade guards quickly rushed forward and took down Li Yunfeng's henchmen.
"Spare your life!"
"My lord, spare your life!"
"We don't know anything."
As soon as a few people shouted a few words, they were brutally dragged away by Jinyiwei.
Lin Mang slowly retracted his gaze, looked at the remaining generals, and said coldly: "Don't think how clean you are!" ”
"There are some things that the official is unwilling to investigate, not that he can't find them."
"Li Yunfeng is the third fire of this official!"
"I hope you will do it for yourself!"
The generals in the army, really study it carefully, and whose bodies are really clean.
Especially when Li Yunfeng was in charge, it was inevitable that he would work up and down.
But at this critical moment of quelling the chaos, it is impossible for him to kill all the generals.
