A few days later, the boat enters the Qutang Gorge, goes down to the Wu Gorge, and then passes through the Xiling Gorge, along the way sometimes the rocks are saggy, the return is disordered, sometimes the water is deep and fast, the vicious waves are monstrous, the road is thrilling, fortunately, the man surnamed Lu and a group of oarworkers, the pennyman, the helmsman, the place along the way is rotten like a palm, and everyone is skilled, the rudder is bold and steady, and the cooperation between each other is very tacit, there is no danger in the end, the river boat goes straight down to the Three Gorges, and comes to Shashi Town in a few days.

Shashi was called Jiangjin in ancient times, and it has flourished since ancient times according to the rush of waterways. During the Southern Song Dynasty, with the southward shift of the economic center of gravity and the center of financial endowment, the Yangtze River shipping was unprecedentedly prosperous, and the ships that entered the Sichuan River in the west and went out of the Sichuan River in the east were mostly berthed and replenished in Shashi Town.

The Yangtze River is below Shashi, the river is wide and the water is urgent, and there are strong winds and waves from time to time, so it is necessary to change large ships to continue sailing. Bai and Shen said goodbye to the man surnamed Lu and found a fisherman's inn in the town to eat. Since the two of them boarded the ship in Langzhou, they have been filling their hunger with their own dry food every day, and have stopped several times on the way to dock for supplies, and the two have never landed on the shore to eat a hot meal.

The dishes of the fisherman's inn, but some ordinary Jiang Xian and farmhouse vegetables and vegetables, the taste is also very ordinary, Bai Yixue eats very happily, Shen Lingshan is critically ill, and has no appetite, seeing that he is eating happily, he also reluctantly eats a little vegetables.

After lunch, the two of them walked to the pier, and after making inquiries, they boarded the passenger ship heading east. The passenger ship was very large, more than six feet high, with twenty-eight sails, and its hull was covered with rows of nails. When the guests are full, the boatman will anchor, sail, go down the river, all the way, the river is rolling eastward, the passenger ship is to avoid the wind and waves on the river, mostly follow the shore or sail in the artificial river, occasionally moor and replenish, the daily journey can reach more than 100 miles.

It was already a frosty moon, the river sky was solemn, the wet and cold air on the boat was quite heavy, and Shen Ling's shirt had already put on a thick winter coat, and he still felt cold. Bai Yixue found that since she set off, although she was still in good spirits along the way, her body was very thin, and her thick winter clothes seemed to be able to crush her weak shoulders, and when the river wind was blowing, she was worried that a gust of wind would be able to blow her up, and she couldn't help but be secretly frightened: "Could it be that the pills sent by Tang Zhuo have been taken for a long time, and the medicinal properties have decreased, otherwise, how can you be so thin?" He felt a faint pain in his heart, and he didn't dare to show the slightest expression on his face, and along the way, he just talked and laughed with her and enjoyed the scenery along the river.

In the evening of this day, the passenger ship arrived in Anqing, docked to replenish supplies, and the passengers sat on the boat for a long time, and felt bored, so they disembarked one after another. The name of Anqing began in the seventeenth year of Shaoxing (1147), and was named after the word "Deqing Army" and "Tong'an County", which means "peace and auspiciousness". Anqing is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and has always been an extremely important military strategic place in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. During the Song-Jin confrontation, Anqing and even Huainan West Road were one of the main battlefields of the battle between the two armies.

Bai Yixue and Shen Lingshan also got off the boat and found a random liquor shop in the city, and there were already many customers on the same boat. Shen Lingshan asked for a bowl of white porridge, and Bai Yixue ordered some wine and food, and poured herself a drink, which was also comfortable.

The sky gradually darkened, and the two were about to settle the bill, when they suddenly heard a noise outside, and someone shouted: "Oh no, it's on fire, it's on fire!" Everyone in the wine shop rushed out, looking forward to watching, but saw thick smoke billowing in the northwest corner, and the fire was soaring into the sky. Someone exclaimed, "No, it's our passenger ship on fire!" When everyone got off the boat, all the luggage was left on the boat, and when they heard the rumors, there was a mess, and many people ran to the river, and there were not a few of them who had not yet paid the bill, and the shopkeeper could not stop it, so angry that he stomped his feet.

Bai Yixue looked at the sky-high fire from afar, and her heart moved: "Good and dignified, why did the ship suddenly catch fire? Could it be that the Tang Sect Tantra followed and secretly made a hand?" ”

Seeing his solemn face, Shen Lingshan couldn't help but get nervous, and said, "Big brother, be careful." ”

Bai Yixue left the wine shop, raised his breath and rushed to the northwest, and threw everyone away in an instant, but a cup of tea was not far from the river, and I saw a big boat in the river in the distance, burning vigorously, reflecting a large area of the river red. Bai Yixue looked intently, but it was not the passenger boat he was on that was on fire, but a large shipping ship, thinking that the boat on the river accidentally caught fire.

He secretly laughed at his suspicions, and was about to turn back, when he inadvertently glanced at it, and vaguely saw dozens of people in black standing on the high place on the shore dozens of zhang away in front of him, and they were also watching the fire in the river from a distance.

He was very curious in his heart: "Who are these people? Why are they sneaky at night, gathering here to watch the fire? Could it be that this fire has something to do with them?" Curiosity suddenly rose, lowered his body, snakeed and lurked, and walked forward for more than ten zhang, half squatting on the ground, hiding in a cold suburb of barren grass, contemplating carefully, the black-clothed people were tall and short, fat and thin, about 20 people, most of them hung their swords from their waists. I only heard one of them laugh loudly: "Dong Yuhou, this fire is burning so happily, this time he will be buried in the fire, and there will be no corpse." Another person laughed: "Even if you don't get burned to death and jump into the river, you will feed the river fish, and there will be no bones." The rest of the people laughed.

One person said: "According to the law of our Great Song Dynasty, if the transportation of grain encounters wind and waves, the boat sinks, and we will not be held responsible, if we only scuttle his ship, wouldn't it be too cheap for Yang Cao?" Another rough voice said: "Yes, Dong Yuhou is wise and martial, even if he has no last resort, just this fire, even if he calls him Yang Cao, no matter what, he will not be able to please him." The crowd even claimed yes.

A hoarse voice said: "As the saying goes, 'those who know the times are handsome', it's not that I, Dong, don't remember the friendship with his colleagues." Everyone knows that the prince is a master who cherishes talents, and he has always loved him and intends to cultivate, but he is so ignorant of poplar grass. Bai Yixue listened to the sound and distinguished, the person who spoke was short and fat, thinking that he was the "Dong Yuhou", and the rest of the people responded to the words, and said: "Dong Yuhou said very much, Yang Cao ended up like this today, he is to blame, and he can't complain about others." ”

Bai Yixue figured out the meaning of their words, and was secretly shocked: "It seems that this fire was really set by these people." They burned the grain and returned it, and they were also ruthless when they heard that they were going to burn the people on the ship to death. Then he thought: "These people seem to be from the government, I don't know why the one named Yang Cao offended them and died in the fire?"

A group of black-clothed people pointed at the fireboat in the river, and the crowd was full of emotion. Suddenly, I heard a person shouting: "Dong Yuhou, look, there is a small boat in the river, heading towards the shore." "The white-clothed snow stared at the sky-high firelight, and could vaguely see that above the river, there was a small boat tossed and swaying in the wind and waves, and a black shadow stood on the boat, rocking the oar with both hands, and rowed to the shore with all its might.

Dong Yuhou said in a deep voice: "Zhang Hail and Chen Shiying, the two of you should go and check quickly, find out clearly, and return in time." The two men in black beside him came out in response and hurried in the direction of the boat, and suddenly disappeared into the vast twilight.

The black-clothed people looked into the distance, the small boat in the river was gone, thinking that it had already docked on the shore, the barren hills on the river bank were undulating, the shore was like snow, and the white was endless, obscuring everyone's sight, and they didn't know what was going on in front of them.

Waiting silently, the two companions went for a long time, but there was no reply, Dong Yuhou couldn't help but get anxious, put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth, and suddenly he stopped and whispered: "Someone is coming!" Although the rest of the black-clothed people did not hear the movement, when they heard him say this, they all pulled out their sharp blades from their waists, and in the darkness, there was a bright one, and several people rushed out of the barren hill and greeted them. Bai Yi Xue Xin said: "This Dong Yuhou's internal strength is not weak, the person who came is still far away, he has already noticed it, but the person who came has heavy steps and messy steps, I am afraid that he is seriously injured." ”

After a while, I heard someone exclaim in a low voice: "Dong Yuhou, is it ...... It's Brother Zhang Hail! He ...... Injure...... Very seriously injured......" Someone in the darkness said in a trembling voice: "Brother Zhang Hail...... Arm...... Ribs are ...... Broken...... This is exactly what it is...... It was ...... 'folding willow hand' ......" whose teeth rattled, and it was evident that he was terrified. Bai Yixue secretly thought to herself: "Folding willow hands, what kind of sect and sect is this powerful kung fu?"

Dong Yuhou snorted coldly, hurried out of the post, and after a while, I saw him walking back to the hill slowly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Good means, if it is a good means! What about Brother Chen Shiying?"

The man replied in a trembling voice, "No...... I didn't see him......"

One person snorted: "Dong Yuhou, is that ...... That big life, but he wasn't burned to death?"

Dong Yuhou was silent, and after a long while, he said: "Situ Wenxi, Lejing, Li Jifeng, Chen Meng, the four of you will go and investigate." That guy has a good way, you must remember not to spread too wide, to take care of each other, as soon as there is any trouble, immediately return, do not act recklessly. The four men in black beside him bowed down to obey the order, rushed to their posts, and disappeared in the wilderness ahead.

After the four of them left, Dong Yuhou paced back and forth again, and a group of black-clothed people stood at the top of the barren hill and looked forward, waiting anxiously. The river wind was cold, there was silence in all directions, and the occasional injured Zhang Hail lay in the weeds, because the pain was unbearable, making a moaning sound of "uh-huh" and "ah-ah", adding a weirdness to the tranquility.

When the black-clothed people were anxiously waiting, suddenly in the wilderness in the distance, someone shouted loudly, and the sound pierced the night sky, which was very sad and terrifying. Someone in black said in a trembling voice, "It seems to be ...... Li Jifeng Brothers......"

Dong Yuhou couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted in a low voice: "You don't have to wait any longer, let's go and take a look." At this moment, a rough voice came from the wilderness in the distance: "Dong Xiechuan, you don't have to come to me, I'll go to you!" When the man said the first word, he was still far away, and when he said the last word, he felt that the person was close at hand. The white-clothed Xue Xin said: "This person's figure is so fast, it's really amazing. ”

In the darkness, the clanging of swords was heard, and the sound of the clashing of blades was loud, and the comers had rushed to the barren hill where the man in black was hiding, and fought with the enemy. The white-clothed snow leaned over and could vaguely see that the man was a burly man, with a single knife in his hand, flying up and down, and was fighting fiercely with several black-clothed people.

I heard a man in black shouting: "Brother Yang, Xie Simo has learned your tricks!" He danced with the double knife in his hand, the cold light flickered, and he bullied in front of the big man, and the big man didn't talk, and the single knife went straight back, powerful and unstoppable, forcing Xie Simo to jump and dodge.

Another man in black held a chain gun, shouting: "In the ...... of Wu" The big man was raising his right foot and kicking a besieging man in front of him, when he heard the golden blade splitting the wind behind his head, he was stabbed with his backhand, and he was castrated, cutting the face of the man in black surnamed Wu, and he didn't have time to say a word, and he was killed. It's a pity that he hasn't reported his name yet, so he died and really became an "anonymous person".

In an instant, the three black-clothed men who were fighting with the big man were already dead, injured, and retreated. Although the man in black was outnumbered and surrounded him, he was temporarily frightened by the great man's majestic divine might, and he was afraid to move forward, and no one dared to approach again.

As soon as the big man raised a single knife, the cold light flowed, and the chill on his face was even worse, and he said coldly: "Dong Xiechuan, this fire is a good thing you did, right?"

The short and fat Dong Yu waited for Dong Xiechuan to laugh and said, "Yes, Ming people don't do dark things, it is what Dong did." ”

The big man said abruptly: "As the saying goes, killing people is not too much. Yang Cao has no grievances with you, and has traveled west alone, far away from the land of right and wrong, why are you so hard to force each other to kill Yang?"

Dong Xiechuan said with a smile: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." What is the land of right and wrong? Where is the land of right and wrong? Yang Cao, even if you reach the ends of the earth, aren't you still a subject of my Great Song Dynasty?"

Yang Cao said: "Yes, whether Yang is alive or dead, he has always been a son of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Dong Xiechuan said hoarsely: "Dong and Brother Mu have no grievances, today is just an errand, I can't help myself, it's difficult, I hope Brother Mu understands." He shook his head slightly.

Yang Cao was angry and said coldly: "I can't help myself, may I ask Yu Hou, which royal law did Yang Cao violate in my Great Song Dynasty and want to put me to death?"

Dong Xiechuan said with a smile: "Wang Fa? Brother Mu is asking Wang Fa? Okay, let me tell you, you have violated the royal law of the king of Enping County, since the prince has an order, how dare Dong disobey the order? I can't tolerate you." Hey, hey, hey. ”

Yang Cao sneered: "King Enping? Yang only knows the laws of the Great Song Dynasty in his heart, and he never knows what other bullshit laws of King Enping are. When Bai Yixue heard the words "King Enping", she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, and immediately quietly moved forward a few feet, hiding in a large area of reeds, holding her breath and concentrating, listening to them carefully.

Dong Xiechuan shouted: "Yang Cao, I also know your methods and skills. Don't be ignorant of good and bad, I finally advise you, those who know the times are handsome, and Hugh must be reckless and strong, and he doesn't know what is good or bad, and he has buried his good future in vain. ”

Yang Cao said abruptly: "A good future? The good future that Dong Yuhou said refers to tending to the flames and attaching the trend, climbing high and becoming noble, so that he can be promoted and make a fortune, right?"

Dong Xiechuan was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "You don't want to be high, you ask these brothers around you, everyone works for the imperial court, which one of them doesn't want to be promoted to become rich? Brothers, do you say yes or no?"

All the people in black said: "Dong Yuhou is right, I hope Brother Yang will think twice." "What Yu Hou said is extremely true, we are willing to die for the king of Enping County. "Brother Mu, if nothing else, the whole family needs food and clothing, and we have to think about them. ”

Yang Cao said coldly: "It seems that as long as Yang votes for King Enping, he will no longer be embarrassed by me, and I will eat and drink spicy food and spicy food from now on, be promoted and make a fortune, right?"

Dong Xiechuan said: "Exactly! Enping Wang Hongcai is strategic, deeply appreciated by the official family, and is deeply favored by the Empress Dowager Wei, the position of the East Palace is as stable as a rock, he is the only one, and he will be on the throne in the future, and he will reign in the world." As long as Brother Yang agrees to follow him, with your ability, why don't you have a bright future and a prosperous future? Haha, you and I both serve King Enping, how can we be closer and closer. ”

Yang Cao waved the single knife in his hand, the blade of the knife buzzed, and he bowed his head and was silent. Dong Xiechuan said: "Brother Mu, what do you say?"

Yang Cao raised his knife and said lightly: "I'm afraid that Yang will agree, and the knife in Yang's hand will not agree!"

Dong Xiechuan's face changed greatly, he looked Yangcao up and down, and shouted: "Yangcao, I expect that you have already taken refuge in the Pu'an Palace, hehe, you dare to be so presumptuous because you have a backer!"

Yang Cao raised his head to the sky and said, "The Lu of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king." Yang only has the court in his heart, only the emperor, and he has only been loyal to the emperor from beginning to end.

Zhao Gou since the imperial pole, many years of seeking heirs to no avail, discouraged, after careful consideration, in the third year of Jianyan (1129), among the many descendants of Song Taizu, selected two children, one is called Zhao Bocong, the other is named Zhao Bojiu, into the harem, respectively given the names Zhao Ying and Zhao Xuan, as the heir candidates. After the two children grew up, Zhao Ying was promoted to the inspection school Shaobao and the king of Pu'an County, while Zhao Xuan was promoted to the inspection school Shaobao and the king of Enping County, which was called Dongfu and Xifu at the time.

Zhao Ying and Zhao Xuan have been in the harem since childhood, and it has been nearly 30 years so far, and they are in the prime of life, and Zhao Gou has gradually felt old and weak in recent years, and he always says that he is "tired of work" and intends to abdicate his position. The emperor's thoughts, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, all know, but Zhao Gou's real intention to establish an heir, but he has never mentioned a person, and his attitude has always been ambiguous, so that the civil and military officials have to secretly speculate on the holy will and choose sides one after another. For a time, the dispute between the princes became increasingly fierce, and the civil and military generals who supported the two kings of Pu'an and Enping in the court were divided into two factions, which did not give in to each other.

The white-clothed snow expected to be good, this group of black-clothed people are all good hands in the command of the guards and the pro-army horse army, and the leader Dong Xiechuan is the Du Yuhou of the guard and the pro-army horse army division, and Yang Cao was the deputy commander of the guard and pro-army horse army division before he was demoted, and Dong Xiechuan was an official in the same dynasty, and there were many intersections on weekdays, and the two of them had worked together for many years.

Dong Xiechuan waved his hand and said: "At present, the situation is changeable, people's hearts are fluctuating, Brother Mu is just thinking about his future, you ......"

Yang Cao shouted: "Dong Xiechuan! If you slander the court like this and discuss the government in vain, aren't you afraid of punishing you?"

Dong Xiechuan said with a smile: "Slandering the imperial court? The saint has long been tired of the Zen position, and everyone knows it, but it is inconvenient and he doesn't dare to say it." Everyone is now unanimously elected to the East Palace by the king of Enping County, and he will inherit the unification in the future, that is also for the sake of my Great Song Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, what is the crime? King Enping is a master who cherishes talents and loves talents, with the skills and talents of your brother of the pastor, he will definitely be entrusted with important tasks in the future, why are you so obsessed?"

Yang Cao said "hey", squinted coldly, and said, "What if I'm obsessed?"

Dong Xiechuan's face sank like water, and Sen Ran said: "That's easy to do." In this world, there are only two kinds of people, if they are not friends, they are enemies, and they are inseparable from then on. ”

Yang Cao said: "The eldest husband is alive, he has something to do and something not to do." How could Yang be willing to collude with a greedy Mulu like you, what kind of friend would he be? On the contrary, Yang Cao could not ask for anything if he was an enemy of you. Bai Yixue heard every sentence clearly, and secretly praised in his heart: "Good man!"

Dong Xiechuan was furious, pulled out the long sword at his waist with a "swish", and said loudly: "Right now, when the prince of Enping is employing people, you don't know the general situation, you have different intentions, you refuse to be loyal to the prince, and even oppose you everywhere, how can the prince tolerate you?"

Yang Cao's expression was awe-inspiring, laughing, and the laughter was full of energy, which shocked everyone's eardrums with a faint pain. Dong Xiechuan suddenly changed color and shouted: "You are dying, what are you laughing at?"

Yang Cao raised his head to the sky, laughed non-stop, and said, "I laugh at you, as an official of the imperial court, but you are so disloyal, unkind, and unjust, isn't it ridiculous?"

Dong Xiechuan said angrily: "Why am I disloyal, unkind, and unjust?"

Yang Cao said loudly: "You keep saying that the prince of Enping, the prince of Enping, let me ask you, do you still have today's saint in your eyes? Now that the Central Plains has fallen, the golden thief and tiger are serving, just cultivating inside and outside, and serving the country, do you still have the safety of the court and the society in your heart?" Bai Yixue secretly shouted: "Good scolding!" Yang Cao continued: "You slander and slander public opinion, incite the country, and wag your tail to take refuge in King Enping, for your own selfishness, and you want to be a high-ranking official, not disloyal, what is it?" You and I are officials in the same dynasty, we have worked together, and you have never complained, but you have framed me again and again because you have asked for merit and rewards in front of the new lord, and you will want to get rid of them quickly, not unrighteousness, what is it?"

Dong Xiechuan was scolded by him for a while, his face was blue and white, extremely ugly, but fortunately, the sky was dark, and others couldn't notice it. He stood there for a long time, and suddenly his body shook, and he shouted: "Yang Cao, I don't want to take advantage of your tongue, since you are so stubborn and bent on going your own way, don't blame Dong for being ruthless!"

Yang Cao sneered: "Fight more and fight less, so shameless! But even if you come up together, what is Yang afraid of?" Dong Xiechuan raised his sword to block it, and on the barren hill, the sound of sharp blades intersecting was loud, and everyone fought together.

In the midst of the scuffle, a tall man in black held a cooked copper stick, and said in a deep voice: "The lowly Situ Wenxi, I have come to ask for advice or two!" The cooked copper stick went straight up and down, and the momentum sank vigorously, and smashed at Yang Cao's head. Yang Cao single-knife one move "raise fire to the sky", upward reverse split, knives and sticks hit each other, a muffled sound, sparks splashed, Situ Wenxi only felt that his arms were sore, the tiger's mouth was about to crack, the cooked copper stick in his hand was almost unable to hold it, Yang Cao also felt that the other party's strength was amazing, with the faint starlight, he raised the knife to take a look, and a blade had been slightly rolled up. At this time, the cold wind was blowing behind his head, and one person was holding the tiger's head and double hooks, and the double hooks were one in front of the other, one up and down, and the two places of the poplar grass's head, neck and waist were attacked. Poplar grass does not have time to turn back, listen to the sound and distinguish the position, single knife reverse split, want to swing a double hook with one hand, the hook is exquisite, the hook is like flying, the left hand hook makes a "lock" word, the right hand hook makes a "belt" word, between the ups and downs, the hook mouth will be a single knife body of the poplar grass, the cold sharp blade of the hook, straight cut the wrist of the poplar.

Yang Cao's "huh" sound, slightly surprised, the internal force penetrated the knife body, had shaken the tiger head hook open, turned his head to see, that person thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and long, he had several sides with him, vaguely recognized that he was a first-class good hand in the command of the guards and the pro-army Ma Jun.

Le Jing said: "Colonel Yang, the lowly Le Jing is polite here." "The double hook hooks and the head stand up, which is exactly a move "Yunlong Offering the Moon", which means that the head of the inspector will meet and meet friends with martial arts, and he still says that his original official position will not change.

Yang Cao bowed slightly, shouted, and said: "Okay, come and don't be rude!" The body bent slightly, a move "boy welcome", a single knife sweep, the strength is solid, he did not wait for the move to use the old, the wrist flicked, a move "night battle in all directions", the tip of the knife turned down and instantly reversed, the change of tricks is extremely fast, it is really changeable, cold. Happy Realm double hook Huo Huo, struggling to block, when he was in a hurry, Dong Xiechuan's long sword flashed with white light, and the oblique stab was killed, and the siege was solved in time.

The white-clothed snow was hidden beside him, the clanging on the baraoka, the sound of blades and metal striking was endless, and every once in a while, there were people in black who had to withdraw from the battle group due to knife wounds or palm wounds, and they couldn't help but secretly marvel in their hearts: "These black-clothed people are not weak, and the man is fighting alone, and the fierce fight is still hearty. ”

After a fierce battle, among the men in black, there were as many as seven or eight wounded, the injuries were light, although they could fight again after a simple bandage, they were already cowardly, and they were not as brave as before, and several of them were seriously injured, some were cut by a single knife, and some were injured by the broken willow hands, and they had to withdraw from the battle group far away, either horizontally or lying, wailing.

Seeing that the situation was no longer the case, Dong Xiechuan couldn't help but be anxious in his heart, and suddenly remembered someone, and shouted loudly: "Chen Meng, Chen Meng!"

Before Chen Meng served the imperial court, he was a master of the famous secret weapon "Lingxi Gate" on the East Road of Liangzhejiang, he and Zhang Hail have always had a very personal relationship, after Zhang Hail was injured, Chen Meng has been by his side, never willing to leave a step, at this time I heard Dong Xiechuan shouting loudly, knowing that the situation on the post was urgent, and I also wanted to avenge my friend, so he whispered to Zhang Hail: "Brother, you lie down, I will come when I go!" Rushing towards the top of the baraoka.

Yang Cao waved the knife like the wind, left and right, suddenly with a single knife to cut down a person, and with a broken willow hand seriously injured a person, heard Dong Xiechuan shouting "Chen Meng", he did not know that Chen Meng was a master of secret weapons, in his heart only said that the enemy and new reinforcements were coming, and he was not afraid in his heart, and he did not care. Unexpectedly, Chen Meng was very alert, he quietly joined the battle group, but he always observed secretly in the periphery, after some careful inspection, he quietly sneaked behind Yang Cao, waiting for Yang Cao's single knife, and Xie Simo's double knife, and Situ Wenxi's cooked copper stick intertwined, looking at the right time, a press of the machine in his hand, suddenly shot, accompanied by an unusually subtle sound of breaking the sky, a large "tail drizzle needle" shot out.

Yang Cao heard the hidden weapon breaking through the air, although the strain was extremely fast, the single knife danced, and at the same time the body turned rapidly, but finally took a step slower, and his leg was hit by dozens of drizzle needles! In the dark, he heard two sounds of "ouch" and "ahhhh

Yang Cao has experienced a hundred battles, and has suffered no less than dozens of major and minor injuries, and he doesn't care about it at the moment, but he is only annoyed that he is acting viciously, and the secret arrow hurts people, and he shouted angrily: "Traitor!" The god was majestic, and he rushed straight towards Chen Meng with a knife. Chen Meng saw that he was coming straight to him, he was so sharp that he was frightened, but fortunately, he was clever and light-footed, so he fled to many places. Yang Cao rushed to Chen Meng several times, only a few feet away, but they were all blocked by Dong Xiechuan and the others.

In the middle of the battle, Yang Cao slashed obliquely with a single knife, Situ Wenxi struggled to raise the cooked copper stick to block, but there was a flower in front of him, his arm was weak and weak, Yang Cao passed through the single knife, and actually cut off the thumbs of both hands together, so painful that Situ Wenxi screamed, the cooked copper stick could no longer hold it, "dang long", and fell to the ground. Yang Cao was stunned, and didn't understand why he suddenly had no strength, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he flew up and kicked in Situ Wenxi's heart. Situ snorted when he heard this, fainted when he landed, and he didn't know who was going to work.

Another fierce opponent, Yang Cao was arrogant and happy in his heart, and suddenly felt dizzy in his eyes, and the soles of his feet fluttered, thinking of Situ Wenxi's sudden decline in strength, he secretly screamed in his heart: "Could it be that he was poisoned?" raised his eyes and saw Xie Simo not far away, "Ahhhh

It turned out that although Chen Meng of Lingximen was good at making dark Qingzi, he rarely fed poison on the hidden weapon, Xie Simo and Situ Wenxi were familiar with him, although they also had fine needles in their own hands, it was just an ordinary accidental injury, and they didn't care about it in their hearts, and they still fought with Yangcao. Unexpectedly, in order to avenge his friend Zhang Hail, Chen Meng even asked for credit in front of Dong Xiechuan, and this time he actually used a drizzle needle that had been fed poison. His city was deep, and when he saw that his companions were poisoned, he didn't say a word, waiting for the poplar grass to be poisoned.

Among the three, Situ Wenxi was good at foreign kung fu, but his internal strength was the weakest, so he took the lead in a toxic attack, and when he was caught off guard, he almost lost his life. Xie Simo's internal strength was slightly deeper, and he immediately fell to the ground with poisonous hair, Yang Cao's internal strength was much thicker than that of the two of them, but after a hard fight, the blood was expanding, and the toxins accelerated with the flow of blood, and at this moment he also felt dizzy and dizzy, and his feet were empty.

Yang Cao saw that Situ Wenxi and Xie Simo fell to the ground one after another, and suddenly realized that Dark Qingzi had been fed poison, and his mind was racing, he stretched out his left index finger and middle finger, and quickly connected the dots on his chest, abdomen, legs, etc., took a deep breath, and shouted: "Shameless rats, they actually hurt people with secret arrows!"

Dong Xiechuan understood, laughed, and said: "Yang Cao, you have been poisoned, the poison is about to attack, see how long you can last?" Hehe, I see that this place has mountains and rivers, the scenery is quite good, and it is not bad to bury the bones here, next year Dong will revisit the old place today, burn some paper money for you, and spend it over, haha." ”

Yang Cao was furious, his eyes widened, and he didn't talk, and with a single knife, he slashed down the two black-clothed people beside him, and his steps were not slow, and he rushed straight towards Dong Xiechuan. Dong Xiechuan was complacent, he never expected that after he was poisoned, he was still so brave, his heart was cold and frightened, and after a little hesitation, Yang Cao had already killed in front of him, the cold light flickered, the golden blade broke through the wind, and the single knife slashed head-on. Dong Xianchuan didn't have time to think about it, he reached out with his left hand and grabbed a black-clothed man next to him, that person's martial arts were not weak, but he didn't expect Dong Xiechuan to use himself as a shield, "click", his right arm was cut off by Yang Cao's shoulder with a single knife, and he screamed again and again, and fainted in pain.

Dong Xiechuan escaped and shouted loudly: "Yang Cao, your poison has already attacked, what are you still rampant? Brothers, everyone slashed him with a knife." However, the rest of the black-clothed people who had not been injured were all silent, staggering, and everyone came to Dong Xiechuan for using his companion's body as a shield, feeling great disdain and resentment, and secondly, they also thought that Yang Cao had been poisoned, so why bother to fight with him to the death, Mo Ruo waited for him to die of poison.

Yang Cao gritted his steel teeth and shouted: "Okay, Dong Xiechuan, Yang is dead today, and I have to take your Du Yu Hou to the bottom for me, and I am not lonely on the Huangquan Road!" He paused his feet, jumped up in the air, and made a move to "split Huashan", although it was one of the most common moves in the knife technique, simple and unpretentious, but after he made it out, it was majestic and powerful, and suddenly Dong Xiechuan's whole body was shrouded in a cold light.

Dong Xiechuan saw that he was coming very violently, how dare he hit his edge, kicked his right foot, his body retreated a few feet, and then rushed out to the left. Yang Cao was not willing to let him escape easily, like a shadow, the tip of the knife only kept shaking a few inches behind Dong Xiechuan, and it was about to dig out a transparent hole in his body at any time.

The two of them rushed one after the other, rushing on the baraoka, during which the single knife of the poplar grass was about to cut Dong Xiechuan's back several times, but it was only a fraction of a second. Le Jing and other guards and pro-army Ma Jun all commanded the forbidden army of the envoy, and they all had grievances against Dong Xiechuan in their hearts, shouting loudly on the side, pretending to intercept them.

In the middle of the Xingchi electric switch, Yang Cao jumped forward with his feet, his ape arm was lightly relaxed, and his left palm slapped out a fierce qi, which shook Dong Xiechuan's body crooked. He felt a chill in his heart, and secretly thought: "This guy is so fierce, is it not poisoned?" Yang Cao's five fingers opened slightly, and he shouted: "Come on!" and grabbed Dong Xiechuan's throat. The moonlight was hazy, the two were close at hand, and Dong Xiechuan also saw that it was Yang Cao's stunt to fold the willow hand, which had killed countless enemies, so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, and secretly shouted: "My life is over!"

Suddenly, the poplar grass stumbled under his feet, and almost fell out, but fortunately, he was able to adapt at a great speed, and struggled to pestle in the soil with a single knife so as not to fall. Dong Xiechuan had already closed his eyes and waited for death, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Yang Cao's footsteps staggering, showing that he had poisoned his hair, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Yang Cao, you are still a trapped beast, what is the use of a husband? ”

Yang Cao single-handedly pestle the ground, trying to stand up, only to feel that the enemy in front of him was full of layers of ghosting, dizziness, and weakness, and he couldn't stand up. I heard Chen Meng's grinning voice in my ears: "Pour, pour!"

Dong Xiechuan stepped on a few steps, and with a swing of the long sword, he had already knocked Yang Cao's single knife out, and the tip of the sword immediately shook, reaching a few inches of Yang Cao's throat, and said with a smile: "Yang Cao, you also have today, are you convinced?"

Yang Cao said coldly: "Yang has lived until now, and he still doesn't know how to write the word 'convinced'......?" I'm here with you......"

Le Jing respected Yang Cao as a tough guy, and he couldn't bear it, and interjected: "Yang Duxiao, you have amazing skills, why did you give your life in vain?"

Before Dong Xiechuan could answer, Yang Cao had already said loudly: "A hundred years of life, you must die in the end." Bending his knees to live a man's shame, Yang would rather die generously today than be in the company of this disloyal, unkind and unrighteous person!" After saying that, a mouthful of thick phlegm shot out, and with a "snap" sound, it hit Dong Xiechuan's face.

Dong Xiechuan was annoyed and ashamed, and said with a cruel smile: "Yang Cao, today next year is your death day, I'll send you on the road!" The tip of the sword trembled slightly, and he wanted to stab straight out. Suddenly something flew in the dark, the strength was strange, impartial, right in his sword-holding hand Hegu acupoint, the pain made him "ouch", the palm of the hand loosened, the long sword fell to the ground. Dong Xiechuan was shocked, his palms were one behind the other, he protected him in front of him, and shouted: "Who dares to hide in the dark and attack this official?"

The stars and the moon were dim, and the good men of the forbidden army had not yet seen what was happening, and they all asked in surprise: "What's wrong?" "Dong Yuhou, are you okay?" The sound of surprise has not stopped, and it has changed into screams in an instant, it turns out that there are things in the darkness from time to time, and everyone is not spared, all of them are hit, some of them are hit in the head and face, their noses are blue and their faces are swollen, and they are screaming in pain, and some of them are hit by their legs and feet, and they fall to the ground, tossing and moaning, and there is a mess on the baraoka in an instant. Chen Meng is a master of hidden weapons, his skills are extraordinary, although his face was hit by something, drenched in blood, but his right hand also caught an object, in the hazy night to show his palm, that palm is an ordinary stone, his heart is shocked.

Dong Xianchuan saw that his companions were injured one after another, and he didn't know why for a while, but he said that there were many enemies, hiding in the shadows and suddenly casting dark arrows, and shouted: "The government is here to arrest important criminals, his grandmother's, no one is waiting for ...... quickly" Suddenly, a wet and smelly thing flew in, hitting his mouth, he was shocked, wiped it with his hand, and it was a large lump of mud. Dong Xiechuan's heart was broken, only said that Yang Cao's reinforcement had arrived, no matter what tonight, he couldn't please go, if he hesitated for a moment, he was afraid that it would not be easy to retreat with his whole body, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the wind is tight, and the wind is tight!" A group of black-clothed people helped the injured and left in a hurry.

Yang Cao's expression was stunned, and he heard the sound and distinguished, knowing that there were masters in the reeds to help him repel the strong enemy. He gasped for a moment, reluctantly stood up, hugged his fist towards the hiding place of Bai Yixue, and said: "Which friend pulled out a knife to help, Yang is grateful, and he is polite here......" Before he finished speaking, his chest was full of hatred, his body shook, and he lost his mind.
