Duan Qing saw that Wu Long was well arranged, and thought to himself that if Wu Long had enough strength in his hands, it would be difficult to say who would die in this battle. It's a pity that there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and Wu Long has a lot of retinue and family members here, so he can't use troops flexibly. If they want to win more with less, the chances are really slim. Everyone rested for the night to recuperate.

The next day, the sky was light, and the sound of trumpets was heard around the mountain, and the army of the earth king had surrounded Longshan on all sides. Wu Long moved nearly 2,000 old and weak women and children to the top of the mountain, and ordered the remaining 3,000 people to be divided into four parts, each on the other. Wu Long took Wu Chang and Duan Qing to the head defense line at the foot of the mountain in the east to command.

In the distance, the army of the earth king swarmed and came to the foot of the mountain in a short time. Seeing that the mountain was heavily guarded, the leader immediately waved the flag, and the sergeants stopped more than ten feet away from the first line of defense on the mountain, and quickly adjusted to an attack formation.

Both sides drew their bows and arrows, and just waited for an order, and a bloody battle was inevitable. Duan Qing was anxious, he really didn't want to see the two sides fighting. When the war is fought together, it will inevitably be flesh and blood, and neither side will be able to please him, and he will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

At this time, in the army of the king of Tu, a general came to the front of the horse and shouted: "Wu Long came out to speak." ”

When Duan Qing heard the voice, it was Tian Meng. Wu Long stood up and shouted, "Tian Meng, what do you want?" ”

Tian Meng shouted: "Wu Long, the destiny of heaven has returned, you have lost the help of heaven and the people, don't be delusional, or be willing to admit defeat." The king of the earth has a command: if you lay down your sword and surrender, I will spare your life. ”

Duan Qing observed carefully, and saw that Tian Meng was only fifteen zhang away from him, and there were several big trees in the middle, so he could jump to the top of the tree with enough internal strength, and then borrow the power of the top of the tree to get to Tian Meng's side with one jump. Tian Meng's subordinates are far away, and they will inevitably be unable to rescue.

Duan Qing had a move, secretly thinking that if he could take down Tian Meng, let them throw a mouse trap, and he didn't dare to attack for the time being. Then find a way to force the king to negotiate, so that bloodshed and sacrifice may be avoided.

Duan Qing made up his mind and said to Wu Long: "Uncle, you and him answer slowly. Although Wu Long was puzzled, he also complied and continued to answer with Tian Meng.

Duan Qing quietly moved to the side, used his internal strength, pulled out his sword, and suddenly jumped high, flying from the air to the top of the tree at the foot of the mountain. He kicked the branch and soared into the air again, swooping down like an eagle.

When Duan Qing pounced on Tian Meng from the air, everyone on the mountain shouted "good", the officers and soldiers under the mountain shouted "be careful", and the mountain and the mountain shouted together.

When Tian Meng's subordinates saw it, they hurriedly fired feather arrows, and hundreds of feather arrows shot straight at Duan Qing. Duan Qing was in the air, and with a wave of his sword, he made a move against an iron wall, and immediately shot down all the flying arrows, followed by Tian Meng's eyes.

Duan Qing slashed with a sword in the air, Tian Meng never expected that he would rush to him from more than ten zhang away, two ups and downs, and hurriedly waved his knife to meet him. However, Duan Qing's sword qi was heading towards Tian Meng's horse. In the sound of "click", the horse's head fell to the ground, the horse's body pounced, and Tian Meng also fell to the ground.

Duan Qing landed beside Tian Meng, and with a few fingers in his left hand, he had already sealed Tian Meng's key acupoint, making him unable to move. Duan Qing immediately reached out with his left hand, lifted Tian Meng, blocked in front of him, and shouted at the officers and soldiers who were hugging five zhang away: "All stand back." ”

Everyone was cut off by his thunderous roar, and their eyes and ears were trembling, and they couldn't help but slow down. Duan Qing hurriedly tried his best to "sweep in all directions" and swept towards the feet of the officers and soldiers, and the sword suddenly whistled loudly and pierced deafeningly. However, when the dust was flying, when the dust settled, there was already a ditch about one foot wide, half a foot deep, and nearly a foot long in front of the officers and men's feet. The officers and men were shocked by this and stopped moving.

These rabbits rose and fell, and in an instant, Tian Meng was captured, and the army stopped. Duan Qing held the sword in his right hand and faced forward, and grasped Tian Meng with his left hand.

Duan Qing saw that the army had stopped, and shouted: "Don't worry, as long as you don't step forward, you won't hurt General Tian below." At this time, someone recognized it as Duan Qing and shouted, "Uncle, what are you doing here?" ”

Duan Qing said: "Hurry up and report and say that I will ask the prince to speak before the battle." ”

Duan Qing turned his head and shouted to the mountain: "Please Uncle Wu and Brother Wu restrain everyone and don't go down the mountain." ”

When everyone saw Duan Qing grabbing Tian Meng in one fell swoop, they were immediately overjoyed and were about to go down the mountain to respond. Wu Long heard him shout, knowing that he must have a plan, and hurriedly ordered everyone to retreat to the mountain to hold on.

When the officers and soldiers saw that it was Duan Qing, they were naturally puzzled, how could the prince's son-in-law and the jade girl's husband help the traitor. In addition, at this moment, the main general also fell into his hands, so he could only stand still and send someone to report to the king of the earth.

When the earth king heard this, he was shocked and hurried with his guards. The officers and soldiers were separated from the left and right, and the earth king came to the front of the battle under the escort of Peng Yong and Xiang Feng.

Seeing Duan Qing alone, the Earth King held the sword in his right hand and grabbed Tian Meng with his left hand, standing in the middle of the two armies. Seven or eight zhang in front of Duan Qing is the army of the earth king, and more than ten zhang in the rear of Duan Qing is Wu Long's mountain guard subordinates.

The king of earth shouted: "Duan Qing, the lonely family treats you well, but you betrayed the lonely family and lived up to the deep affection of the jade girl." Are you still human? ”

When Duan Qing saw that the Earth King had arrived, he said, "My father misunderstood, I didn't betray my father, and I won't let down Hongjun." I just want to ask my father to stop the army and talk about peace with Wu Long. After Duan Qing finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to untie Tian Meng's acupoint and put away his sword.

Duan Qing bowed to Tian and said, "General Tian, I have to do it today, and I am offended, so please go back." ”

Tian Meng was stunned, Duan Qing actually let himself go like this. He still said viciously: "If you don't kill me now, you will definitely repay today's disgrace after that." Duan Qing didn't answer, and Tian Meng turned around and walked back to the side of the Earth King. The Earth King also felt strange that Duan Qing would let go of the hostages in his hands so easily.

The king of earth shouted, "Now that you and I are enemies and not relatives, I dare not be your father." Do you want this king to let the tiger return to the mountain and raise the tiger for trouble? ”

Duan Qing said: "My father announced the identity of his son-in-law in public, and the ceremony cannot be abolished. As soon as my father did not explicitly dissolve the marriage contract, he became my elder one day. Wu Long and they are not fierce tigers, just ordinary people, and they asked their father to let them live. If there is anything, you can both sit down and talk about it. ”

Peng Yong shouted: "Duan Qing, Fei Yu's sister has a soft spot for you, but you colluded with the enemies of the Peng family and the Peng family. Today I will annihilate all of you, so that the hatred in my heart will be eliminated. What kind of peacemaker you want to be is really a pipe dream. ”

Duan Qingdao said: "Big brother, I have admiration for you. I think you have a generous heart, but why can't you tolerate thousands of lives on the mountain! Why bother to kill them all, it is against the virtue of heaven's good life. ”

Xiang Feng interjected: "Do you think of yourself as a Buddha to save the suffering?" Today, the prince wants to completely exterminate the traitors, eliminate hidden dangers, and return peace to Xiangxi, how can you stop it! It's really a praying mantis blocking the car, and I can't do it myself. ”

Peng Yong and Xiang Feng said to the earth king together: "Lord Wang, please give an order, we will immediately exterminate the traitors and eliminate the disaster." Duan Qing saw that the earth king was hesitating, and there seemed to be signs of an order. Duan Qing was in a hurry, once the two sides started a war, it would be difficult to stop it.

Duan Qing shouted: "Once the prince starts a war, the jade stones on both sides will be burned. Even if you can destroy all the people on the mountain, you will suffer heavy casualties. These officers and soldiers also have wives and children, so can you bear to make their relatives miserable? There are thousands of old and weak women and children on the mountain, can you kill them ruthlessly? So good at heart? ”

Duan Qing shouted vigorously, and the sound shook all over the world, and the people on the mountain and down the mountain heard it clearly, and they couldn't help but change color. Peng Yong said: "How much power can a group of rabble, as soon as the army moves, it will collapse in a moment. Duan Qing listened, thinking that if he didn't exert his full strength today, it might not be effective.

Duan Qing said coldly: "Big brother is too underestimated. One husband is desperate, ten thousand people are not dang, you know. ”

Xiang Feng said: "Even if a group of remnants of the defeated generals are desperate, what can they do to me? ”

Duan Qing shouted sharply: "Okay, let you see the result of one person's hard work." ”

Duan Qing drew his sword, used his strength, and swung it towards a group of horse legs eight zhang away from the side with a move of "sweeping in all directions". Suddenly, the cold light was shining, and the whistling sound was fierce.

When the light was faint, more than a dozen horse legs were broken together, and the people on the horse fell to the ground one after another. Everyone was shocked, obviously Duan Qing's subordinates were merciful, just cutting off the horse's legs, if he cut at the living, I'm afraid none of them would survive.

The earth king, Peng Yong, and Xiang Feng were stunned. They didn't expect Duan Qing's skill to be so high, and if he used all his strength in the martial arts competition that day, Peng Yong and the others could not block a few moves.

Duan Qing saw that they were changing color, so he said, "Xiang Gongzi, if I fight hard, how many moves can you block?" What's more, thousands of people on the mountain are desperate, and how many people will be killed and injured? ”

Tuwang said: "Duan Qing, do you want to threaten the lonely family?" Even if you are a martial artist, can you stop thousands of troops? ”

Duan Qing said: "Father's words are serious. How dare Duan Qing threaten his father. Duan Qing naturally can't stop your thousands of troops. Even if I block it, there will be a lot of casualties, but I have no intention of hurting anyone. ”

Duan Qing paused, and then said: "Father, back then, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, had martial arts, but the killing was too heavy and unpopular, and finally Wujiang killed himself. It can be seen that force is insufficient, and the people's hearts cannot be lost. Today, if the father and the king insist on going his own way, killing the old and weak women and children on the mountain, and the innocent soldiers under the mountain are killed in battle, will he lose the hearts of the people? Please think twice. ”

The Earth King hesitated for a moment, Tian Meng and Xiang Feng glanced at each other, and shouted in unison: "All the troops obey the order, follow me to attack!" ”

Seeing that the king of the earth hesitated, the two wanted to cut first and then play, causing the established facts. The army slowly stepped forward, and at the last moment, an orange and yellow figure suddenly jumped out from behind, floating like a fairy, and arrived at Duan Qing's side in an instant, and then four blue figures followed and fell behind her.

When Duan Qing saw it, it was the Jade Girl Hongjun and her four maidservants. Hongjun shouted at the army: "All stop, my father has no order, whoever dares to move will be killed." ”

The jade girl is like a saint in Xiangxi, and she is deeply loved by everyone. At this moment, the jade girl is dressed in an orange and yellow royal dress, slim and elegant, like a fairy descending to earth, with her own majesty. As soon as Hongjun shouted, the army involuntarily stopped.

Duan Qing hurriedly said to Hongjun: "This place is dangerous, you leave quickly." ”

Hongjun smiled slightly and said, "You still have a little conscience." ”

It turned out that Hongjun had been behind, and when she heard that Duan Qing had appeared, she hurriedly walked to the front with the four maidservants, and saw that Duan Qing had been talking to the Earth King. Hongjun listened carefully, and after she understood, she realized that Duan Qing had not changed her mind, and was indeed here to save people.
