Kowloon Beach.

This is a very strange place name, which seems to indicate a very mysterious meaning such as fate.

But all this is meaningless, this is nothing more than a barren saline land, nothing more. Along the banks of large rivers, there are many such saline-alkali lands. It's white, it's pretty and clean, but it's poisonous, and it doesn't grow anything. It's not that nothing grows, thorns and the like can grow somewhat, but other than that, other crops can't be stored on saline land.

Right now, a lot of people have suddenly appeared on this saline land, more than ever before.

On one side was nearly 500 officers and soldiers led by Cheng Zhijie, with a decrease of more than 20 people.

One side is a Taoist priest.

The Taoist immortal wind bones, the face is like a crown of jade, and he gives people the appearance of a master outside the world between his gestures. But this is not the reason for this Taoist priest to stop the officers and soldiers, any move to stop the army is stupid, irrational, and almost crazy and self-conscious.

However, for outsiders, the etiquette should still be done.

Officers and soldiers are also human beings, and they are also afraid. If you really ignore it, it is easy to cause panic in the psychology of the soldiers. Thinking of this, Cheng Zhijie waved to his subordinates to show that they should communicate with the Taoist priest and ask them to leave the official road.

As for why the officers and soldiers did not leave the official road and take a detour from the flat ground?

Because once the army is numerous, it needs a lot of supplies and equipment. There were several carts in the tents for camping alone, as well as food guys, all kinds of weapons, and so on, and more than 20 carts were full, and if these carts came down from the official road, they would inevitably have to cross a ditch that was not too wide, but it was very troublesome for the officers and soldiers.

It is difficult for carts to pass through these ditches, even if they are leaning on the livestock.

Letting the Taoist priest leave is the most convenient way.

"Where is Dao Chang Immortal Township?"

"Traveling all over the world, living in no fixed place, everywhere is my hometown!"

I have to say that Gongsun Sheng's physiognomy gave him a lot of points. Even if he speaks nonsense. But the little colonel who questioned him was not angry.

The management of Buddhist affairs in the Great Song Dynasty is very strict, and there must be a degree, and a degree that can show identity is often worth a thousand yuan. If there is a degree, there will be temples and palaces for monks, and there will be proof of origin.

When he opened his mouth, he said that he did not have a Taoist priest or monk. It's all fakes.

Xiao Xiao Xiao was not annoyed, pointed to Cheng Zhijie, who was sitting on a tall horse not far behind him, and said to Gongsun Sheng: "Dao Chief, don't laugh, you have a background to designate, and the Dao Chief of Taiyi Palace is also so funny as you, and you never admit that you are the identity of Taiyi Palace when you go out." See, this is my general, coming to Yuncheng on business, his old man is not as good at talking as he is. ”

"Poor Dao is just an idle person, what is there to be afraid of?"

Gongsun Sheng's pair of Danfeng eyes opened slightly, and he finally had a bit of a human taste. But if you want him to get out of the way, you can't.

"Dao Chief, why don't you understand? Get out of the way, let me wait, you continue to stand on the official road, don't worry about the king Lao Tzu when he comes, isn't it wonderful? ”

"The poor road is for your good, you look at yourself, one by one, the hall is blackened, and the face is like dead wood. If there is a catastrophe ahead, why don't you listen to persuasion? Gongsun Sheng changed his words and said: "The poor road is not standing on the official road indiscriminately, but there is a dragon soul wandering here, and if you accidentally collide with the evil god, you will be seriously ill at the lightest, and you will have to worry about your life!" The place where the poor road stands is the eye of the evil qi of heaven and earth, and only by standing here and cooperating with the spell of the poor road can the demons be subdued and eliminated in order to prevent future troubles. Hugh should disturb the merits of the poor path. ”

The little colonel was helpless, and turned his head to Cheng Zhijie and said: "General, the Taoist chief said that we have a disaster ahead...... Also, the Taoist said that he was subduing demons here, and the place where he was standing was the eye of the array, and even if the knife was on his neck, he couldn't move. ”

"Bastard, you believe everything he says?" Cheng Zhijie was choked by his subordinates, this guy didn't have to think about it, the person who blocked the army would be a good person?

Thinking of this, Cheng Zhijie immediately spoke to his subordinates: "Bring a few people and drive the Taoist priest away, bad luck!" ”

Whether it's a prophecy or a deliberate bluff!

It's one thing to believe it or not, it's another to listen to it comfortably.

When the general goes out to fight, many soldiers and generals will be suspicious, and even have an inexplicable fear of ghosts and gods. The army is like this, there are many people who are not afraid of death, and even more people who are afraid of death. Fighting on the battlefield, it is indispensable to have a life, someone dies, and dying in a foreign land to be a lonely ghost is the most heartfelt thing for a soldier.

The little colonel was helpless, this time with a few soldiers, holding weapons, and walked towards Gongsun Sheng with a fierce attitude.

At this time, Gongsun Sheng showed the advantage of stopping the official army alone.

If he had a helper by his side at this time, it is estimated that no one would have said good things about him just now.

Even the army's bows and crossbows will be aimed at them at the first time.

It can be said that it is safer to have a helper than not to have a helper. Because he is alone, no one will take him seriously, let alone be wary.

At least looking at the reaction of the official army, Gongsun Sheng guessed that the official army did not have the intention of using force against him, at most it was to scare him and let him obediently give way out.

But Gongsun Sheng's task was not to let the officers and soldiers cross the border, but to stop these officers and soldiers and leave enough time for Mu Hong and others to commit crimes.

At the moment when the soldiers were about to approach, Gongsun Sheng said loudly: "You foolish people who don't know the height of the sky. Since you don't believe in the poor way, let the poor way let you see the immortal magic, so that you can have a sense of awe for all things in this heaven and earth! ”

Most of the soldiers are illiterate, and their understanding of external objects is mostly based on experience and legends, and some ghosts and gods are inevitably sandwiched into it, and most of the time they believe what the elders say, and they don't have too many opinions.

Hearing that Gongsun Sheng was about to cast a spell, the soldier suddenly stood still, with a nervous look on his face.

Gongsun Sheng didn't care about others, he took the loose pattern Guding sword on his back by himself, pulled out the sword in a hurry, inserted it at his feet, and muttered a spell in his mouth: "Taishang Laojun, hurry like a law, town!" ”

The atmosphere became a little weird, Cheng Zhijie wanted to use his axe to kill this Taoist priest who was pretending to be a ghost, but he was afraid that the soldiers would be afraid.

Let Gongsun Sheng approach, the latter saluted him and said, "The general knows that the demon stars in the world are suppressed by my Daomen, once they are allowed to get out of trouble, at least they will be thousands of miles away, and at worst the world will be in chaos?" ”

"Nonsense!"

Cheng Zhijie tightened the axe rod in his hand, his original Xuanhua axe with a façade had already been replaced, one size smaller than the original axe, but the weight was not reduced, a full thirty catties. The material is a real material, and it is also a real blade. It is slightly less powerful than the original hollow axe, but the lethality is not reduced at all.

hum

Cheng Zhijie snorted coldly: "Dao Chief, please be cautious, Lang Lang Qiankun, how can there be any magic stars?" ”

"The general kills, without reverence, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe!"

Gongsun Sheng lost the mind to continue talking with Cheng Zhijie, and walked around the team, constantly calculating the magic fingers in his hand, with a solemn expression, making people know that he was pretending to be a ghost, but there was no way to debunk his grievances.

After walking for most of the time, Gongsun Sheng suddenly hurriedly walked to the position of the 'Array Eye', stood in front of the Songwen Guding Sword inserted into the ground, and said in shock: "Not good! Evil obstacles, it's coming! ”

Cheng Zhijie's face showed disdain, and he yelled: "Pretend to be a ghost, bring it to me-" Next, before the word was spoken, the war horse under his crotch suddenly became restless.

I saw the pine-patterned Guding sword in front of Gongsun Sheng swishing into the sky: "Punish the demon, get up!" ”

The sword let out a crisp dragon groan, and suddenly flew to a height of ten zhang, and suddenly a raging flame suddenly burned around the sword, bursting open, followed by a loud bang. The sword seemed to be slashed down in the air, and it fell to the ground.

The blood mist in the sky fell, and all the soldiers didn't dare to move for a while, so frightened that they didn't dare to look at Gongsun Sheng.

And Gongsun Sheng, whose face is like gold paper, gives people a kind of weakness that is strong and supportive. He shouted strongly: "Evil Dragon, don't be rampant!" As he spoke, he shouted to the soldiers: "You guys go quickly, the evil dragon has been freed, the poor mana is low, I'm afraid I won't be able to contain it for long, once the evil dragon is completely out of trouble, you will die and have no place to be buried!" ”

The soldiers finally got scared.

Gongsun Sheng was like an earth immortal who was in harmony with the way, flying up and jumping into the air, spreading his limbs as if he was frozen in the air.

"Heaven and earth thunder and fire, listen to my dispatch, urgent as the law!"

"Thunder!"

The sudden thunder frightened the cattle in the officers and soldiers out of control, and some of the soldiers turned around and ran, and some of the first to run were the second.

But the most fatal thing is not these, but Cheng Zhijie was suddenly hit by the 'thunder fire' and fell to the ground.

I don't know who shouted: "Oh no, the general is dead!" ”

The soldiers of the brigade began to flee, and Cheng Zhijie's personal guards did not care about the escape of these soldiers, but escorted Cheng Zhijie away......

In a flash, the soldiers on the official road walked cleanly, but they left a lot of baggage, not only baggage, but also weapons and armor.

Although Chao Gai and the others were hiding in the distance, they saw that the officers and soldiers had retreated, and the thunder rumbled. Nervously ran over to meet Gongsun Sheng.

When they ran in front of Gongsun Sheng, they found that Gongsun Sheng was sitting in a big car, his face was neither proud nor frightened, but calmly said to Chao Gai: "Brother, let people find a place to hide these ordnance, you and I will rush to Shilipo." ”

Even Chao Gai was stunned, his eyes when he looked at Gongsun Sheng also changed, and the spell retreated from the enemy...... Unheard.

What made him even more unbelievable was that Gongsun Sheng, who was as tall as a fairy, actually called him: Brother.

Chao Gai said: "Brother Xian, you are really a god!" ”

On the contrary, Gongsun Sheng was not proud of himself, but said flatly: "It's just a little trick of carving insects, that is, these people don't know it, so that the little brother found an opportunity." ”

However, even so, Gongsun Sheng's consumption was quite serious, and when he stood up, he trembled a little. Seeing this, Chao Gai immediately carried Gongsun Sheng on his back, and then said to Zhuang Ding under his hand: "Collect the materials, hide them first, and then follow." ”

And Chao Gai opened his thighs and headed towards the ten-mile slope.

Chao Gai is a fierce man who can carry the stone tower more than one person high, carrying a Gongsun Sheng, there is no pressure at all, and he runs up with his thighs open.

As for why he didn't use the carts and cattle left behind by the officers and soldiers, the main thing is that these animals are not horses. It's a cow, and if he can't run fast, it's better for him to spread his legs.

Besides, Cheng Zhijie, after falling off the horse, he was protected by his own guards for the first time, and then fled with his horse and weapons.

I don't know how long I ran, but Cheng Zhijie was woken up leisurely.

The moment he opened his eyes, he was a little dizzy, his head was also heavy, and the pain in the back of his head made him dizzy.

"It's ...... Where? ”

As soon as Cheng Zhijie opened his mouth, his throat hurt like a tear, and his voice was also hoarse, so that the guards around him didn't hear him speak at all. And he was also tied to the saddle of the war horse, and no one found out for the first time that the general of his family had woken up.

After he shouted a few words, the guards reacted and said to his colleagues next to him: "It seems that the general was calling people just now?" ”

"No, it won't! I saw it when I crossed the river before, but the general didn't wake up. ”

"Maybe you've woken up?"

"General, you've finally woken up!" When the guards found that Cheng Zhijie was tied to the saddle, his head was propped forward, as if he wanted to hit the guards on the side, he reacted and hugged Cheng Zhijie and cried.

"It's miserable, General, it's miserable!"

Cheng Zhijie was put down from the horse, sat on the ground, untied the water bladder from the horse, and almost drank the water in one breath, then put it down. The moment he looked up, he was suddenly stunned, and there were only a dozen or so of his personal guards around him. There is really no need to question the loyalty of these guards, there are the guards of the Cheng family before, who have worked for the Cheng family for generations, and the guards of the Liu family, Liu Baosheng gave some to his second son-in-law.

Anyway, in his old man's opinion, his second son-in-law is the last enterprising son-in-law, and if he doesn't help some, he will be unjustified in conscience.

These people were loyal to him, protecting him from danger during the time he fainted.

But when Cheng Zhijie opened his eyes and found that there were only a dozen guards around, he was anxious: "What about people? What about my people? ”

"General, we have met the ...... of the dragon"

"Enough!"

Cheng Zhijie finally remembered that the Taoist priest who pretended to be a ghost. I didn't feel suspicious before, but now that I think about it, there are flaws everywhere. Although many aspects still can't be explained clearly, he knows that he has been yin.

Thinking of this, Cheng Zhijie couldn't sit still, wouldn't five hundred people be served like this?

"If you follow me to find it, you will definitely restrain the demon path and return me five hundred officers and soldiers." Cheng Zhijie was about to turn over and get on the horse after speaking, but he lay on the saddle and felt dizzy.

"General, there are dozens of us, and we are sleepy and tired, so if we go forward like this, even if the thieves use poisonous tricks, how can we be opponents? It's not as good as ......."

"How about it?"

Cheng Zhijie's face was pale, and his back molars gurgled on the ground.

"It's better to go to Hecai Town."

"No, the soldiers are separated, we can find some some, if such a downcast person goes to Hecai Town, how can we explain it to the brothers who stayed in Hecai Town?"

Cheng Zhijie is also a person who wants to face, and he is resolutely different from the retreat of the guards. It was decided to gather all the scattered armies, so that they would not all be captured, right?

This search lasted for most of the day, but there was not a single soldier who had been scattered.

Cheng Zhijie's heart was cold, and he sat on the horse and sighed: "That's it, that's it!" This Kowloon Beach seems to be a disaster for Chen. "Lost 500 officers and soldiers at once, if it were on the border of Western Xia, it would be fine, but in the Central Plains, Cheng Zhijie thought disheartenedly that once the imperial history heard about this and wanted to impeach him, his military career should be over.

The group rushed back hungry, and when it was almost time to operate, it was already completely dark, Cheng Zhijie was surprised to see the lights in the barracks, and sniffed hard, and the air was filled with the fragrance of food......

Cheng Zhijie was confused, and he rode forward, and saw the little colonel under his command in Yuanmen, only to see that he was still holding a rice bowl in his hand, a big bowl full of millet rice, and some vegetables, piled up. The moment he saw Cheng Zhijie, the little colonel was also stupid, and suddenly shouted: "Brothers, the general is back!" The general is back! ”

The sound filled the night sky and echoed in the barracks.

Not long after, Cheng Zhijie was stunned, how many officers and soldiers went out, and how many officers and soldiers came back. feelings without a captive, this ...... Probably a happy event, right?

But he couldn't be happier.

Because these guys who don't have hammers are all deserters. Except for a few who were sick, they all fled back from Yuncheng. As for the few soldiers who are sick, if they follow the army, they are probably good materials for deserters.

Until this moment, Cheng Zhijie was disheartened, the army he had worked so hard to manage was so unbearable. There is no courage at all, if these people go to the battlefield, won't they want to sell him as a general?

In particular, the way he looked at his soldiers was also very strange, they were brothers before they were defeated.

Now, Cheng Zhijie saw a sneaky soldier, and felt as if he had raised a flock of ducks, and when he went out in the morning, he was chaotic and ran around like a flight on the way, but as soon as it got dark, these boneless guys came back one by one.

I set off from Hecai Town and went to Yuncheng for more than a day.

It took me half a day to get to the barracks. When you were marching, you were shouting on the road one by one, and when you fled, you shouted!

In addition to resentment in his heart, it is estimated that he will not be able to save anything in this life.
