Chapter 549, Flaw
Niu Mandi stood on the front steps of the Yin'an Palace, looking at Shui Ruyue who was trapped in the Ling Tian Array, his heart was itching, this woman in white with a beautiful national color, he fell for it from the first time he saw it. From her face to her figure, this woman made him salivate, especially since this little girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and there was obviously a lot of room for improvement.
Niu Mandi shouted at Fu Yunzi in the sword array: "Fu Yun Dao Chief, you must capture this woman in white alive, after the matter is completed, no matter what gold, silver, jewelry or jade you want, this king will promise you!"
Pu Xuan, an old monk who had been in ambush on the main spine of the Yin'an Hall for a long time, saw that Tang Jiusheng and the four of them were trapped in the formation and could not come out, and the red and black masked attendants of the National Teacher's Mansion who went to the rescue were blocked by the black skeleton, so he removed a glazed tile on the top of the hall, and a wild sweep came from mid-air, and when he was still two zhang away from the clouds, he threw the glazed tiles out, and the glazed tiles smashed into the clouds with the sound of the howling wind.
Pu Xuan did not enter the formation, but turned around in the air and swept back to the top of the main hall of the Yin'an Palace. When the glazed tile was still a foot away from the clouds, it suddenly felt like hitting an invisible wall, and it shattered with a snap. Everyone who was watching the battle in the small square could see it clearly, and Cheng Zifei, who was watching the battle, said helplessly: "Mother, why can't you attack it?"
Tang Fulong has been carefully staring at every detail inside and outside the formation, it seems that this formation is flawless, but it is actually impossible. Tang Fulong's eyebrows tightened, and he said to himself: "All things are mutually reinforcing, nothing and no formation can be flawless!, but where are the flaws in this Ling Tian Sword Formation?"
Seeing Tang Fulong's frowning, Anan, the iron cavalry captain who was half a horse's head lower, was angry for a while, and said loudly: "Master National Teacher, please allow me to lead the cavalry to charge into battle! If the last general is not victorious, he will be willing to be a military order!"
The scheming Tang Fulong looked at Ah Nan, who was wearing armor and only showed a pair of eyes, smiled slightly, shook his head and said meaningfully: "Ah Nan, it's good that you have courage, but it's not enough to have courage to fight and break the formation, you have to use your brain, as soon as your own mind is hot, you will lead your brothers to die, what about the wives and children at home? My old man doesn't want to use human lives to pile up victory!"
Ah Nan tightly held the handle of the saber on his waist, looked helpless, and said in a low voice: "Master Guoshi, I know that your old man is merciful, but the prince is still trapped in the formation! If you don't order the charge, I'm afraid the prince won't be able to hold out for long! Thousands of troops are easy to get, and one general is hard to find, the prince, the princess, and Captain Jiang are all the pillars of the imperial court, we would rather die more soldiers than let the prince and them encounter danger!"
Tang Fulong was still staring at Ling Tian's big array, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, the four of them should be able to hold on for a while, don't worry, there will definitely be a way to save them in a while! You wait quietly, let the old man take a look again, and then think of a way! No formation can be without flaws, there must be a life, it's just that we haven't found out yet, Xiao Shengzi must also want to exchange victory for the smallest price, otherwise he won't take the risk to break the formation!"
Anan sighed, he had no choice but to wait for the National Teacher to give the order. Cheng Zifei held the knife in his hand and stared closely at the every move of everyone in the array. Euphorbia Jin Chengzhang is leading people to intercept the defeated guards who escaped from the mansion and the house slaves who want to escape with the treasures outside the palace of the pseudo-Jiannan Wang, and more than 20 people have been caught. However, Jin Chengzhang has an order, if ordinary soldiers are against masters such as Wu Shiyun and Yu Fuzi who leaped out of the courtyard wall, they should not take the initiative to provoke, the prince already has other arrangements.
Zheng Zhaozong broke out of the front door with a bloody knife, and several soldiers thought that he was also the guard of the puppet palace, so they stepped forward to stop him, but he was cut in two by a powerful blood-colored knife qi and even people with weapons, Jin Chengzhang saw that this person's martial arts were already appallingly high, and immediately ordered him to be let go, and at the same time released a ringing arrow into the air, this kind of super master, if you want to rely on ordinary soldiers to stop him with life, it is really not worth it.
Now that there is a shortage of people, every soldier is precious, if he is caught after killing a thousand soldiers, what is the point of killing him? Therefore, Tang Jiusheng has long strictly ordered ordinary soldiers not to stop these master-level villains, and finally warn and wait for the masters and friends of the palace to come to help. Sure enough, Zheng Zhaozong escaped less than fifty zhang away along the deserted street, and there were already three people blocking Zheng Zhaozong's way on the way.
The first person was carrying a large iron rod, this person was in his fifties, tall, rough in appearance, dressed in the costume of the Great Xia barbarians, with a long robe, round neck, and narrow sleeves, but he was wearing a dogskin hat, which looked very strange. Although the winter temperature in Jiannan Road is not too high, it is far from the point where you need to wear a dogskin hat, Zheng Zhaozong immediately recognized this person - Ouyang Luda, the lord of the Northland. Zheng Zhaozong gritted his teeth, this is a difficult opponent, is he going to face each other with life and death at this moment?
Ouyang Luda has two people on the left and one on the right, one is tall, looks like he is in his fifties, dressed like a rich man, a pair of big eyes are embarrassed, three locks of beard fluttering on his chest, smiling, his left hand is turning two iron galls, the noise is non-stop, but behind him is carrying a single knife, Zheng Zhaozong, the person who turns the iron gall in his hand and carries a single knife behind his back, Zheng Zhaozong recognizes that he dealt with this person ten years ago, and he narrowly won half a move back then, this person is the famous Northern Sword Saint Zhu Jiafu.
The other is a middle-aged monk, also very tall, wearing a vermilion robe and stepping on monk shoes, wearing black sandalwood Buddha beads around his neck, dark complexion, looking kind eyebrows, no weapon in his hand, just turning a string of prayer beads of unknown material, his mouth seems to be muttering sutras, half-closed eyes, not looking at anything, as if the world has nothing to do with him.
The three of them suddenly stopped, Zheng Zhaozong, who was carrying a blood knife, also involuntarily stopped, the two sides were separated by four feet, and the cold wind of winter blew down a leaf on the street tree, swirling in the air, and time seemed to stand still at this moment. Zheng Zhaozong's lock of hair quietly hung down from his forehead, Zheng Zhaozong raised his right hand and gently lifted the hair, he felt the qi of the three people opposite, only Ouyang Luda was in the Martial Spirit Realm, and the other two were in the Martial Xuan Realm.
Zheng Zhaozong sighed in his heart, the three masters, this is destined to be another tough battle! He knew Ouyang Luda and Zhu Jiafu, but he didn't know who this monk with the Martial Xuan Realm was. Zheng Zhaozong settled down, arched his hand and laughed loudly: "Ouyang City Lord, Zhu Zhuang Lord, I haven't seen you for a long time! Hahaha...... This master has always been a little proficient, I don't know which monastery he is cultivating in?"
Ouyang Luda didn't pay any attention to Zheng Zhaozong's politeness, and asked knowingly: "Oh, isn't this a master of Zheng? It's rare in the past few years, I heard that Master Zheng earned the sixth place in the world a few years ago, and it's gratifying! Recently, the old man heard that Master Zheng was willing to be a lackey for King Pingxi, and this is not admirable! But I don't know where Master Zheng came from today and where he is going? Why do you look panicked? Could it be that you stole a chicken and were chased and beaten by others?"
Zheng Zhaozong saw Ouyang Luda unscrupulously teasing him, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he snorted and said: "Ouyang City Lord, you are really joking! The prince of Pingxi has a good reputation in the southwest province, so he is following the king of Pingxi to mix a bowl of porridge and drink, where is you Ouyang City Lord so proud, there are soldiers and generals under him, and he is at ease in the Northland City every day, he is as carefree as a god, and he has the authority of an emperor!"
Ouyang Luda reprimanded: "What are these words? Although I am the lord of the city in the northern city, it was also given by the emperor, and it is more for the Great Shang Kingdom to guard the northern border, so that the people of one city and one county are not disturbed by the Great Xia cavalry, how can I be compared with His Majesty the Emperor? If you talk like this, it is a great crime of disrespect! Why, when you are under the command of the king of Pingxi, do you even have such a fearless attitude to speak?"
Zheng Zhaozong was even more embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Ouyang Great City Lord, it's just an unintentional joke in the next place, how can you take it seriously? Who is this master who has already been in the Martial Xuan Realm? I have never seen it in the next place, and I also ask the Great City Lord Ouyang and the Great Master Zhu to introduce it to me! I always like to make friends with masters from all walks of life, and there are many ways to have many friends, so I don't want to offend you three big masters in the next place!"
The tall, kind-eyed monk suddenly opened his eyes, stopped turning the rosary in his hand, sighed, and then slowly replied: "Good, the poor monk's name is Puji, he came from the Tongsheng Mountain Zizi Temple, I just heard that Zheng Shizhu killed people indiscriminately at the gate of this pseudo-palace, so I came to surpass a few deceased, and at the same time asked Zheng Shizhu for an explanation!"
Zheng Zhaozong was taken aback, and reluctantly smiled: "Is the old Zen master Puxuan, who is ranked seventh in the world, the same brother of Master Puji?"
Pu Ji said: "Good, Senior Brother Puxuan is my second senior brother, please ask Master Zheng to answer the question of the poor monk just now, why did you kill the soldiers of the imperial court at the gate of the puppet palace at will? The soldiers and horses of the imperial court came to quell the rebellion, is it true that Master Zheng is preparing to rebel?"
Zheng Zhaozong was displeased and said: "Monk, those soldiers are indiscriminate, and they dared to use a knife at the gate of Jiannan Wangfu to block my way, I was afraid that they would be unfavorable to me, so I chose to use a knife, this matter is not in me, why did you question me instead?"
Pu Ji said loudly: "Those few people are just routine, to check all the people who came out of the puppet palace, they are just ordinary people, their martial arts are low, how can you stop a top ten master of the hero list from making a move? They blocked your way, it is nothing more than to perform their duties to check and see if it is the remnants of the cattle that escaped from the prince, why not? Could it be that Your Excellency is a thief?"
Zheng Zhaozong almost jumped up angrily, and said inwardly: "You are a monk who is so unreasonable! I met you in Pingshui, I have no communication, I respect you as a monk leader, and I am Puxuan's junior brother, so I speak to you with Yan Yuese, do you think that my Lao Zheng is a person who is easy to bully? Ah, don't think that I am from Tongsheng Mountain and a master of Wuxuan Realm, I will be afraid of you! Tell you, whoever dares to provoke my Lao Zheng, my Lao Zheng will fight back!"
Zhu Jiafu, who had never spoken, suddenly laughed and quipped: "I heard that dogs that bite people generally don't bark, and dogs that bark generally don't bite." With your style of doing things, if you could really easily get away from the three of us, you would have done it a long time ago, and you would have spent so much time here with us? I'm afraid that if you were in the puppet palace, the gas consumption was too large, so you did this, right?"
Zheng Zhaozong saw that his heart was seen through, and he thought that it was impossible to be good today, so he changed color, pulled out the bloody knife and shouted: "Okay! We haven't seen each other for many years, and I want to compete with you, since your Zhu Jiafu is known as the Northern Sword Saint, but you have also lost under my old Zheng in the past, today I will give you a chance to be ashamed, come on, I will teach you your high tricks!"
Ouyang Luda laughed and said contemptuously: "Old Zhu, monk, you have all seen it, this surnamed Zheng is such a chicken thief! He is afraid that the three of us will beat him, he is not an opponent, so he will ask you to fight alone! No wonder he is bent on messing with Yin Quan! Hehe, for the sake of some interests, our Zheng master doesn't even want to have a face!"
Zheng Zhaozong's face turned red, "Ouyang Dacheng Lord, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk!Come, if you are not convinced, you can also come up and try it, and see if my old Zheng is afraid of you! Oh, they are also masters, why can you sit in the Beidi City, with thousands of soldiers and horses in your hands, whether it is in your door or in the city, you can call the wind and rain like the emperor, everyone in the rivers and lakes respects you, and everyone gives you face, but my old Zheng wants to be called an evil person like a lost dog? Why? They are all heroes of the world, and of course I also want to sit in a city and divide one side! May I ask if I have such ideals and am willing to take action to pursue my ideals, why not?"
Ouyang Luda took a sip and scolded loudly: "I! I, Ouyang Luda, defend the border for the country, protect the safety of one city and one county, and the people remember my chivalrous and righteous feelings to protect the territory and the people, and the brothers in the rivers and lakes feel my righteousness in helping the needy and squandering money, so everyone respects me and gives me face one by one! You Zheng Zhaozong used to be like a man, but what have you done in the rivers and lakes in the past few years? Killing people and setting fires, acting for tigers, and aiding and abetting abuse, are you worthy of being compared with me Ouyang Luda?"
Zheng Zhaozong's face turned blue and red, and he argued loudly: "Oh, you are only allowed to eat and drink spicy food, aren't you allowed to drink soup from my old Zheng? What happened to the prince of Pingxi? That is the emperor's son and grandson, who is the king of the southwest province and the person who defended one side of the town of Dashang, what is wrong with me protecting him? He is also surnamed Yin, and he is the descendant of the Taizu of Dashang, so why should I protect him?" Zheng Zhaozong originally wanted to say the phrase "be a founding father", but after thinking about it, it seemed inappropriate to export it in public, so he did not mention this stubble.
Zhu Jiafu said with a smile on the side: "The rich can't be lewd, the mighty can't be bent, and the poor can't be moved." Ten years ago, I still respected you as a man, but in the past ten years, in order to get ahead, you have abandoned good and followed evil, and become a descendant of the blood knife, so we are no longer people on the same road. The so-called Dao is different, and they don't conspire with each other! Zheng Zhaozong, the three of us are going to do the Dao for Heaven today and eradicate the scourge for the martial arts!"
Zheng Zhaozong looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, his voice shook the four wilds, and said proudly: "Just rely on your Zhu family's wealth, and you are also worthy?"
