Chapter 18: Five Beauties Cut in the City (Part II)
Zhao Hongming stepped forward and said softly: "Heh, this martial artist of the Black Clothes Society looks like this. ”
The beautiful woman on the side suddenly turned pale.
She was not stupid, and immediately realized that Zhao Hongming might have seen through her true identity.
During this time, he has been deliberately confusing himself and stalling for time.
The beautiful woman immediately made a decision, turned around and fled.
But where will the two martial artists who have rushed in make her happy.
The two reacted quickly from the front and back directions of the beautiful woman, and slapped each with one palm.
The beautiful woman stretched out her hands to block, but she didn't expect the two of them to be full of true energy, and their hands were like dexterous snakes, easily breaking through her defenses, hitting her chest and back respectively.
The beautiful woman only felt that her internal organs were like they had been displaced, and her body was turned upside down.
She couldn't help but snort, her throat was sweet, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding.
"Innate Realm Martial Artist!"
The beautiful woman's heart sank straight down.
She is just a cultivator of the Tongqi Realm, and she is no match for the Innate Realm martial artist in terms of strength and speed.
But the beautiful woman was not restrained by this, she used her true qi and swept away the two of them with her arms.
Among the exercises of the Black Clothes Society, he is known for his body and is good at wandering.
The beautiful woman she saw twisted her waist, like a silver fish in a lake, calmly detached from the sandwich of the two innate realm martial artists.
She touched her toes a little on the ground, and the bluestone slabs on the ground shattered with the sound.
The whole person rose into the air with the power of his toes, jumped forward, shook past the head of the guard, and rushed out of the encirclement network of the two innate martial artists.
However, before the beautiful woman could remember her joy, she saw five other people waiting for her in front of her, blocking all her retreats.
Suddenly, the beautiful woman's heart was in despair.
She gritted her teeth and tried to force it open.
However, she has been spying on the front line all year round, and she has not had many opportunities to practice from time to time, so that many of her previous moves have become unfamiliar.
They couldn't react even when they were facing the enemy.
Not to mention, she still faces five martial artists whose realm is higher than her.
The five martial artists who came from behind gave a soft shout, cooperated with each other, and punched out five in unison.
The beautiful woman, who was blocked from all retreats, subconsciously raised her arm in a hurry and took the punch hard.
"Wow!"
The beautiful woman only felt a huge force that passed down her arm and spread throughout her body.
She flew back upside down like a broken kite, slamming to the ground.
The beautiful woman, who was originally dressed up brightly, had messy hair at this time, and couldn't help but spurt out a large mouthful of dirty blood.
Her right hand hung weakly, the bones inside it were shattered, and she couldn't lift any more strength.
Zhao Hongming walked over from behind the martial artists and looked at her condescendingly.
The gorgeous dark red dress spread out under her, like a withered flower, full of regretful beauty.
The beautiful woman raised her head and looked at Zhao Hongming, revealing an expression of disbelief, she said bitterly, "When did you find out?" ”
Zhao Hongming said calmly: "From the first night we met. ”
The beautiful woman's eyes widened: "How is it possible?" ”
Zhao Hongming smiled without saying a word, his eyes were full of indifference.
The beautiful woman bowed her head and laughed at herself: "I thought I was doing a good job, but I didn't expect it to be just a joke." ”
Zhao Hongming asked, "What other information do you know?" Say it. If it is useful to this king, it may spare you death. ”
The beautiful woman shook her head and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint King Wu." I'm just a lowly spy, and he won't tell me anything about the peak. ”
"Who else is in your Black-Coated Society besides you in Ying County?"
The beautiful woman struggled to sit up, the pain of her broken arm made her gasp, beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and she said with a slight trembling: "We are all one-line contact, I don't know the existence of other people." ”
"Then why did they let you approach me and investigate me?"
"It's just a coincidence. My original target was Chen Shenghai, the county guard of Ying County, and I planned to persuade him to return to the Zhao State. It's just that I didn't expect that he was just useless, and he was uprooted by you so quickly. ”
Chen Shenghai actually colluded with Zhao Guo?
This is something that Zhao Hongming did not expect.
If Chen Shenghai falls to the Zhao State, and no one discovers and restrains him, it is foreseeable that the Ying County will be eroded in time, and the national strength of the Wei State will also be greatly damaged.
Unintentionally, he actually eradicated a hidden danger for the Wei State.
"It was only a coincidence that I entered the Martial King's Mansion. If you really want to say it, it is that Zhao Guo Haoran Sect once suspected that King Wu You are an innate martial artist, and I also suspect that you are the same person as Wei Wuji, the leader of the Ming Sect. ”
A hint of color flashed in Zhao Hongming's eyes, he didn't expect the Black Clothes Society to be able to investigate this layer, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect me to be so powerful in your eyes." ”
The beautiful woman looked directly into Zhao Hongming's eyes and said, "It turns out that either the information of the people in Daliang is wrong, or the Martial King is too deep......"
Now, the beautiful woman no longer thinks that Zhao Hongming is as simple and ordinary as it seems on the surface.
Beneath this harmless appearance of humans and animals, there is actually a man-eating beast.
She even suspected that the information she passed on was something that Zhao Hongming was willing to let them see, or deliberately guided to reveal it to them.
She has always been complacent, thinking that she is standing on a high place, overlooking the overall situation.
It's ridiculous to think about it now.
The beautiful woman straightened her willow waist, and her eyes stared at Zhao Hongming coldly: "What does Your Highness plan to do with me?" ”
Zhao Hongming said with a smile: "This king didn't plan to do it so quickly, but the news came back from Zhao Guo that Li Mu's army had arrived at the border pass, and this king needed to deter Xiaoxiao, so he could only wronged you and wanted to cut you in the market." ”
The beautiful woman's beautiful eyes were wide open, full of unwillingness.
She was mentally prepared for such a result.
But when she was really sure, for some reason, her heart seemed to be pinched hard and thrown into the air.
There is a sharp pain and a weightlessness of falling from a height.
The last glimmer of hope in my heart was completely shattered.
Zhao Hongming said in a flat tone: "Take it down." ”
"Yes." The guards who came with him picked up the seriously injured and collapsed beauty on the ground and dragged her away.
The rest of the warriors saw that the matter was over, and they each clasped their fists and dispersed.
These martial artists are all good hands that Chang Wu pulled out of the Ming Sect, and they came by order, and they will not always be used by Zhao Hongming's side.
"Gao Yanshi."
"The minions are here."
"The remaining four beauties brought into the palace from Chenjiazhuang are like this beautiful woman, and they are cut in half in the city." Zhao Hongming said in a cold tone.
Hearing Zhao Hongming's arrangement, Gao Yanshi trembled, and almost knelt on the ground in response: "The slave should die." ”
These five people were all in the palace that he agreed to enter, and such a disposition was obviously to beat him.
Gao Yanshi said in a panic: "It's because the minions didn't check it in advance that this kind of thing happened." However, the minions learned their lesson and rechecked the backgrounds of the remaining four to ensure that there were no problems. ”
Zhao Hongming said coldly: "I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go." These four women are also useless in the eyes of this king, and seeing that they are going to war with Zhao State, this king does not want any hidden dangers around him. ”
Gao Yanshi's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "The slave knows how to do it." ”
"Speaking of which, this king has never been to the camp of the warriors, and now that the big war is imminent, let's go and take a look."
"Your Highness's presence in person will definitely boost morale." Gao Yanshi hurriedly found the servants beside him: "Go to the palace and prepare the car." ”
Zhao Hongming's few orders instantly made Gao Yanshi busy.
Fortunately, Gao Yanshi is a clear-headed and organized person, and he has not lost his sense of proportion because of this.
After about a pillar of incense, a four-horse carriage slowly drove over from the street, accompanied by a group of forbidden soldiers in full armor, with long knives hanging from their waists, majestic.
"Your Highness, please."
Zhao Hongming stepped on the low stool brought out by the subordinate and entered the carriage.
"Drive!"
The coachman waved his whip and the carriage moved slowly.
At the same time, the five beauties who entered the palace from Chenjiazhuang were escorted to the market together.
The beautiful woman's face was like ashes, and she already knew her end.
But the other four didn't know anything, they didn't know what happened next, they cried one by one, and the pear blossoms brought rain.
"Sister...... Woo...... What's going on? Why are we being taken here......"
The beautiful woman turned a blind eye and did not react at all.
"Sister, you have something to say, you must know something...... right?"
"It's all you, it must be that you are not serving well, and His Royal Highness the Martial King will be angry with us."
Among the four, one of them couldn't help but squirt a mouthful of thick phlegm at the beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman was still expressionless, like a tree.
In the midst of the crying, the five girls were escorted to the market.
The escort official struck the gong and shouted: "These five people are the work of Zhao Guo, and they are the beauty of Zhao Guo." Fortunately, he was recognized by King Wu, and today he was cut in the city, clearing the universe and cleaning up the filth for Yingjun. ”
"What?"
Many ordinary people and martial artists who heard the news began to talk to each other, and the scene suddenly became noisy.
When the other four heard that they were going to be cut off, they immediately collapsed to the ground, like a mess of mud, shaking like chaff.
"Execution!"
Some people say that the hands and feet of the five people are tied to the bench, and there is a martial artist next to him who draws a big sword.
The back of the knife is wide and thick, and the blade is sharp, which can obviously cut bones.
"Spare your life, spare your life...... I...... Didn't ......."
Poof!
The martial artist beside him turned pale and did not hesitate without any hesitation, holding a knife in both hands and slashing it with a knife.
Under the power of Takeo, the women were cut in two with a single sword.
Dark red blood splattered and spurted out.
The martial artist hidden in the crowd was in his heart, lowered his head, and did not dare to make a mistake.
……
Walk through the gates of Luling City.
Patches of wilderness are presented in front of Zhao Hongming and others.
After passing through the wilderness, the convoy headed straight for some nameless hillside.
Wei Wushu's camp was originally located at the foot of an unnamed mountain outside Luling City.
Later, the number of people grew, and the mountain could no longer accommodate so many soldiers, so Wu Qi camped next to a tributary of the Ying River.
Zhao Hongming and the others had not yet arrived, and they could see barracks standing in front of them one after another from a distance.
If you look closely, you can also see some fully armored sergeants patrolling outside the barracks.
"Your Highness, we're almost there."
Zhao Hongming sat in the carriage and pretended to sleep, and hummed softly.
When the carriage reached the barracks, it was stopped by the guards at the gate.
"Who's coming?"
"His Royal Highness the Martial King is here, don't let him go quickly."
Someone in the entourage stepped forward and took out a token to reveal his identity.
After the soldiers guarding the camp confirmed the identities of Zhao Hongming and his party, their expressions were solemn, and they hurriedly moved aside to the sides, lowered their heads, and said no more.
The sun is shining, and the summer heat in the air has not completely subsided.
The road outside is not flat, and the carriage is constantly shaking from side to side in the process of driving.
Outside the carriage, the undulating cheers could be heard, and the sound shook the sky.
Zhao Hongming, who was sitting in the carriage, opened his eyes, his soul moved slightly, and he noticed that the qi and blood in the military formation had converged into one piece, and they were like an ocean.
'This is the strength of the soldiers' military formations?' ’
Zhao Hongming felt that these Wei warriors in the barracks had the prototype of the army of later generations, and they were simply different from the stragglers in this world.
He couldn't help but look forward to the next performance of Wei Wu's pawns on the battlefield.
While he was thinking, the carriage gradually stopped.
"Your Highness, we have arrived outside the main tent." Outside the carriage, Gao Yanshi was unfazed, and a slightly shrill voice came from it.
Gao Yanshi lifted the curtain, and Zhao Hongming got out of the car.
When Wu Qi learned that Zhao Hongming was coming, he immediately put down the affairs in his hand and brought his subordinates to the main tent to greet him.
"The last general, Wu Qi, pays a visit to His Highness."
Zhao Hongming turned his head to look at the few people in front of him: "Get up." ”
"Your Highness, please come inside."
Wu Qi's main account is very simple, with only a long case and a bed, and there is a lampstand next to the long case and the bed.
After Zhao Hongming entered the big tent, he was not polite, and sat directly on the seat that originally belonged to Wu Qi, and asked: "General Wu, how many people are there in Wei Wushu now?" ”
Wu Qi replied: "A total of 30,628 people, all of them are all martial artists, the highest cultivation is the Nine Rank Realm, and the lowest cultivation is also the Three Grades of Open Pulse. ”
"Not bad, not bad." Zhao Hongming was slightly satisfied with such a number: "The edge of Wei Wushu before, this king once knew a little bit about it. According to General Wu, can this king, the Wei warrior, withstand the army of Zhao? ”
Wu Qi raised his head and said seriously: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, if Your Highness really wants to know, it is better to review it in person, it just so happens that His Highness can also boost morale in person." ”
Zhao Hongming said happily: "This king has this intention. ”
"Right now, there is a Wei Wushu training, and His Highness can just go and have a look."
in the barracks.
Ma Chuanping and Leyang, who have been promoted to centurions, are practicing routinely on the training ground.
While training, Leyang said, "Did you hear about it? It won't be long before we go out to fight. ”
"Zhao Guo has attacked?" Ma Chuanping was surprised.
"Almost, now everyone in the city is in danger, and soon people are not optimistic about King Wu and Mingjiao, and many people are gone."
"Oh, if it was good to fight, my brothers below would have been a little impatient and wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. Now the conditions promised by King Wu and General Wu are really rich. ”
"It's the same on my side, if we don't fight all the time, we really don't have much chance to make meritorious contributions."
"His Royal Highness the Martial King has arrived!"
Leyang and Ma Chuanping glanced at each other and hurriedly stopped the training in hand.
They all knew that this Martial King was their nominal master.
The wish stones, armaments, grain, grass, and silver in the army all originated from him.
Even if King Wu is just an "ordinary man" in their eyes, he should not be taken lightly.
This is something that General Wu Qi repeatedly mentioned during their training, and they all remember it deeply.
These Wei warriors stood in several phalanxes, as if they had received some kind of tacit understanding, and they shouted in unison: "See His Royal Highness King Wu." ”
The voice was rolling like thunder, making Gao Yanshi and the others who came with him, even if they cultivated a step higher than them, they were afraid of it.
A breathtaking military might emanated from it, giving people a great sense of oppression.
