Volume 2 The Journey to Nanhuai Chapter 79 Siege of the City

"Master Yi, don't come unharmed." The old Nanhuai King and Yi Xiaodao met outside Hangzhou, and Li Yaoyang took the lead in showing goodwill for his father and greeted him.

Lao Nanhuai Wang and Yi Xiaodao set off at the same time, and Sucheng and Yicheng were not too far from Hangzhou, and the two arrived outside the city almost at the same time. After exchanging news, Yi Xiaodao and Master Guo, Xu Hong and others met with Lao Nanhuai Wang, Li Yaoyang, and Li Dingxing, father and son, in the north of Hangzhou.

Yi Xiaodao owed a debt on the horse: "The prince, the eldest son, the second son." ”

Only then did the old Nanhuai King speak up, ignoring the rest of the people beside Yi Xiaodao, and said: "Lord Yi is really a pillar of the country, but in just a few days, he has solved the dispute between Yicheng and Jiacheng and made great contributions, which is really gratifying." ”

Xu Hong touched his nose embarrassedly, the dispute between Yicheng and Jiacheng was provoked by him, and the old Nanhuai King once wanted to mediate without giving people face, and now people naturally won't take him seriously.

Yi Xiaodao smiled and replied politely: "It all depends on Your Majesty's blessings, and it also depends on the prince's strength." Yi is just running errands, and he can't talk about any credit. ”

The old Nanhuai King nodded, he was not proud of his achievements, such a young man was already rare.

Yi Xiaodao asked, "I don't know why the prince sent troops to Hangzhou?" But what's the matter? ”

When the old Nanhuai King heard Yi Xiaodao ask this question, he was inconvenient to answer, Li Dingxing pulled Li Yaoyang's robe, and Li Yaoyang hurriedly said: "Lord Yi doesn't know, the annual tribute has been sent out on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was my Nanhuai Palace's preparations for it, but it was robbed halfway..."

"The big family in Hangzhou?" Yi Xiaodao was able to penetrate it at one point, and immediately guessed the reason.

"Yes, my father was ordered to guard Nanhuai, and the big families here even dared to hijack the tribute, so we naturally want to remove this harm for the imperial court!" Li Yaoyang replied.

"I don't know why... The soldiers of the two cities have also come to this Hangzhou... Could it be that Lord Yi has already gotten the news? Li Dingxing knew that his eldest brother was honest and honest, and he was afraid that he would say too much and make mistakes, so he changed the topic.

Yi Xiaodao clenched the reins of the horse in his hand, and still said with a smile on his face: "I want to help the prince in the future." ”

"But Master Yi came out earlier than us..."

"By the way, eldest prince, how about asking the eldest prince when you leave Sioux City? Where is Fang Long now? Yi Xiaodao interrupted Li Dingxing's questioning and asked about Fang Long's whereabouts.

Li Yaoyang's face froze, he lowered his head slightly, and replied: "Master Yi... The whereabouts of Brother Fang... I don't know yet, presumably not in Sioux City..."

Yi Xiaodao chuckled: "Oh, that's it, it turns out that the power of the King of Nanhuai is already so big in Suzhou City..."

When everyone on both sides heard Yi Xiaodao's words, their faces suddenly changed sharply: Xu Hong, Master Guo and others were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, while the three fathers and sons of Nanhuai Wang were slightly blushing, and they didn't know whether they were ashamed or angry.

Yi Xiaodao was not afraid at all, he was already reasonable, and he promised to leave well, but now that so many days have passed, he said that he couldn't find it. At the beginning, I deliberately ridiculed myself as "ashamed", but now I am ridiculing myself back, what's wrong with it?

This is Yi Xiaodao's "wronged" person, Li Yaoyang was already nervous, he just told the truth at the beginning, and there was no ridicule. If Li Dingxing was present, this kind of misunderstanding would definitely not occur. Now Yi Xiaodao is "disrespectful", and the three kings of Nanhuai are also helpless.

Yi Xiaodao looked at the old Nanhuai King, although he was angry in his heart, he was helpless at this time, he gave his hand to the three of them, turned around and wanted to leave.

The old Nanhuai King said: "Lord Yi, please don't be impatient when looking for someone, the top priority at the moment is the guys in Hangzhou, tomorrow you can send troops together, attack from all sides, and Hangzhou will be broken soon!" ”

Yi Xiaodao didn't respond, turned around and wanted to leave, but I didn't know if I heard it.

Master Xu Hongguo hurriedly bowed his hand to the old Nanhuai King: "The prince has a life, dare not obey?" Just rest assured! ”

The people of Jiacheng were originally members of Xu Hong's family, and they obeyed Xu Hong's order, after all, the Ding County Order was the Yicheng County Order, so they did not follow this time, but sent Master Guo to come. Although the soldiers of the two cities are all dispatched by Yi Xiaodao, it is more appropriate for Xu Hong and Master Guo to reply to this kind of officialdom. As for whether he will come or not, it depends on Yi Xiaodao's mood, and Xu Hong and Master Guo dare not offend King Nanhuai rashly.

"Master Yi, if you're with them tomorrow... The odds are also a little bit better. On the way back, Xu Hong patted his horse and followed Yi Xiaodao and suggested to Yi Xiaodao.

Yi Xiaodao chuckled: "Rich Lord Xu also wants to be called a family of Nanhuai?" Wouldn't it be better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight than to fight side by side? ”

Xu Hong didn't respond to Yi Xiaodao's teasing, and asked, "What does Master Yi mean... Tomorrow... Sit on one's hands? ”

Yi Xiaodao didn't answer, but picked up the topic and asked, "Rich Master Xu, dare to ask... How is the eldest son of Nanhuai Wangfu? How about martial arts? ”

Xu Hong was stunned for a moment when asked, and then replied truthfully: "The eldest prince of Nanhuai Palace... It's just that I heard that I am righteous and bold, but I don't have any scheming. It's the second son, who is a little scheming, and has a lot of city. But it's also kind to others. My Jiacheng is far away from Sioux City, these are all passed on by the people, and it should not be wrong. ”

"What about martial arts?" Yi Xiaodao asked paranoidly.

"Martial arts... There was a nursery rhyme in the early years of Nanhuai, which sang, 'Nanhuai Li Jiatang, has two rooms. The second son, Zhang Zifang, and the eldest son, Xiaobawang. ’”

"So what?" Hearing the word "Little Overlord", Yi Xiaodao's eyelids jumped slightly.

Xu Hong touched his beard and said with a smile: "True to the name!" Xu was fortunate to see the eldest prince clearing water bandits near Jiacheng once, such a heroic appearance...... I guess I've reached the realm of the hidden ground. ”

"Jiyin!?" Yi Xiaodao's heart was beating wildly.

As early as in the prison of the capital, Hu Lishan not only talked to him about the martial arts sect of the rivers and lakes, but also mentioned the default martial arts realm levels of the rivers and lakes, which are Hongmeng, Lingjing, Xindao, Zaiyin, Baoyang, Diyin, Tianxing, Zhixi, and Feathering.

When it comes to the realm of the Mind Dao, the three or five big men are not close, but at this time they still belong to the category of ordinary martial artists, no matter how hard they practice, they can only beat a few more people. But once you pass the heart and enter the three realms of Yin, Yang, and Earth, it will be different, flying eaves and walking on the wall, picking leaves and hurting people are all light, even if it is a battle-hardened soldier, you can fight a few back and forth. The three realms of Tianxing, Finger Breath, and Feathering are the ten thousand enemies of the ever-changing world. Especially feathering, it is already a half-step to ascend to the immortal, and it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Zhang Zongbai, the head of the true yang, has reached the realm of feathering, and those who have good deeds go up the mountain to ask, but Zhang Zhangmen just smiled and said nothing.

Yi Xiaodao once asked a group of Chen Congwei's martial arts skills, Hu Lishan scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, and he didn't know whether it was difficult to judge or inconvenient to judge, so he could only say leisurely: "If you are strong, you will be strong." "Let Yi Xiaodao comprehend it by himself. But he also warned Yi Xiaodao that he must judge accurately, not to be despised or misjudged, for example, Mo Qinglou is mixed in the world, and rarely fights with people in the rivers and lakes.

"Di Yin...," Yi Xiaodao muttered.

Xu Hong, as the first rich man in Jiacheng, has seen the world and knows a little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Master Guo couldn't understand the conversation between the two, and remembered the promise he had just made to King Nanhuai, so he was a little worried at this time, and stepped forward and asked, "Master Yi... The matter of the war mentioned by the king of Nanhuai..."

Yi Xiaodao looked back and said with a smile: "Go!" The king of Nanhuai has spoken, can he not give face? That must go! ”

Hearing Yi Xiaodao's words, the stone in the hearts of the two of them fell to the ground, and it would not be a joke if they offended the king of Nanhuai.

Yi Xiaodao was not so optimistic, it was not his original intention to unite the soldiers of the two cities at first, Yi Xiaodao only hoped that Xianglian'er would be safe. Ding County Ling and Xu Hong were dissatisfied with Ling Yue Pavilion's actions, and because of Yi Xiaodao, they took the initiative to borrow troops, and the two families joined forces. Even if the troops were united, Yi Xiaodao only hoped that the momentum would be bigger, and Ling Yue Pavilion would be forced to take the initiative to return Xiang Lian'er. Who knew that the king of Nanhuai had raised troops again, and he was coming straight to Hangcheng, and he had accidentally formed a flanking attack on Hangcheng with the king of Nanhuai. It's really muddy in the crotch of his pants, and it's not but anymore.

Yi Xiaodao had another thought in his heart, Fang Long's matter could only be put aside first, the top priority was to rescue Xiang Lian'er first, Yi Xiaodao made up his mind in his heart.

Early the next morning, the war drums were bursting, the banners were hunting, and 30,000 Nanhuai soldiers were in the morning sun with spears and swords, ironclad horses, and majestic style. A group of elders of the Nanhuai family stood on the city wall, and 30,000 soldiers came to the city, and it was really impossible to see the end at a glance on the city wall.

"Zhu... Elder Zhu, how is it good? A group of clan elders became nervous.

"What's the hurry? I will not fight him, and I will not care about him until I die. If you dare to attack the city, try it. Zhu Ce decided to fight the king of Nanhuai with all his heart, and he firmly believed that with the order of the imperial court, the king of Nanhuai would have to retire obediently.

Yi Xiaodao instructed the two soldiers of Yicheng Jiacheng to raise the banner, set up more guns, only besiege but not attack, and surrounded the city to the north alone, quietly observing the situation on the side of King Nanhuai.

The most dazzling in the Nanhuai army is Li Yaoyang, dressed in iron armor, with a long spear with a thick bowl in his hand, the spear is nine feet long, and he wields it freely, which shows that his arm strength is amazing.

"Dad, if you don't do it over there..."Li Dingxing whispered behind him.

The old Nanhuai King said with a smile: "What do you mean, they will definitely not make the first move, so we have to fight, and we have to fight beautifully, so that they dare to do it." Tell your eldest brother, in the first battle, play a little better. ”

Li Dingxing stood up and asked for a hard bow from a soldier, the old Nanhuai King still felt strange, and when he was about to ask, Li Dingxing opened his bow and took an arrow, the arrow was like a meteor, and shot an arrow at a soldier holding a flag on the city wall of Hangzhou! Even the people with the flag fell to the bottom of the city.

"Xing'er... When are you..."The old Nanhuai King still thought that he was dazzled, his youngest son, who had always only known how to read, still had such exquisite archery skills?

Li Dingxing didn't answer his father's words, and quickly set up a second arrow, another arrow, and shot straight at Zhu Ce.

When the arrow arrived, the soldiers on the side raised their shields to block the arrow.

"Big brother! Above! Li Dingxing shouted at Li Yaoyang.

Li Yaoyang didn't care about praising his second brother's archery skills, he danced with a big gun, rode one person and one horse, and rushed towards the towering city wall.

"Okay, fight the tiger brothers, go into battle father and son! I'm going to beat the drums! The old Nanhuai King stood up, his waist unconsciously straightened up, took the drumstick from the drummer's hand, and knocked it down.

"The whole army obeys the order! Besiege! The old Nanhuai King roared.

Galloping.
