Xiao Yixue's internal strength seemed to be a step worse, and as soon as his body was shocked, Yang Zhi had the upper hand, and when Yang Zhi began to attack, everyone saw Yang Zhi's true strength. The Dragon Sparrow Knife kept drawing a curved arc, and the knife slashed towards Xiao Yixue, the most important thing was that this knife technique could just break away from the hook of the snake hook sword, so that the advantages of Xiao Yixue's weapon could not be brought into play at all, and he could only retreat step by step in the rolling knife wave.

Master Tianxin saw Yang Zhi's offensive move for the second time, and whispered to Sha Jing beside him: "Yang Zhi slashed twelve times in a row, in fact, it is a one-move knife technique, it is rumored that Yang Linggong used the Tianbiao style in the breaking knife and injured Han Derang in the siege, and now it is indeed true." ”

Sha Jing asked suspiciously: "But the Yang family has not had such a good hand with a knife for a hundred years, that is, Yang Yanzhao and Yang Wenguang were famous for their marksmanship back then. ”

"Internal strength. Master Tianxin said firmly: "Yang Linggong was a grandmaster-level figure back then, and he once represented Yang Gon and Zhao Kuangyin in Shaolin Temple to learn, and the internal strength must not be weak, but the Yang family came from the military, and there are few children who practice internal skills among the descendants. ”

As he spoke, Yang Zhi had already made a roundabout, broke away from contact with Xiao Yixue, distanced it to two zhang away, put the knife into the sheath and said, "Brother Xiao, it's getting late, and it's about to be curfew, so it's better to go here." ”

Xiao Yixue really comprehended Yang Zhi's earth-shattering skills, and knew that he was actually a step behind, so he heard that he took the snake hook sword, turned around and left; Yang Zhi saw Master Tianxin standing on the steps, walked over and was about to speak, when he heard someone shouting to him: "Yang Zhi, please stay." ”

Yang Zhi looked back and saw that it was the leader of the Liao army who had just arrived, in his forties, with a majestic figure, about the same size as Yang Zhi, with a handsome face, a straight waist when walking, and a divine light in his eyes. Without looking at the movements, Master Tianxin had already descended the steps, walked in front of Yang Zhi, and said with a smile: "General Xiao Lira, how did you get to Shangjing." ”

After saluting Master Tianxin, Xiao Lira said: "The Northern Yuan transferred me to Zhongjing to serve as the commander of the Jingzhou Army, and I came to Shangjing to select a group of officers. I didn't expect to see a dragon fight, and Yang's knife technique was unique, and there were some things I wanted to ask for advice in person. ”

Xiao Lila's martial arts are definitely better than Yang Zhi's, the word asking for advice is just to give Yang Zhi face, Master Tianxin didn't wait for Yang Zhi to reply, and said with a smile: "There are noisy people on the street, it's better to go to the post house for a long talk." ”

Xiao Lili laughed, said yes again and again, turned around and beckoned his subordinates to rest in the corridor of the post house, and he came to a quiet room with Master Tianxin, Yang Zhi, and Sha Jing. The four of them sat down, Sha Jing brought fragrant tea, poured a bowl for everyone, Xiao Yu drank it in one gulp, put down the bowl and asked Yang Zhi: "I heard Yelu Dashi say your views on the Liaojin war, in this case, why should you participate, you know, the upper echelons of the Liao State do not attach importance to the Han people." ”

That is, Xiao Lili dared to talk nonsense like this, and another person was immediately pulled outside to be heavily responsible, Yang Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "I am now taking refuge in Liaoguo, do you think I have a chance to shirk it? Fortunately, I just organized a business group, and I was not asked to fight in front of the battle." ”

Xiao Weili shook his head and said: "You don't know the fierce state of the front line, it is really a large army, either win or be defeated, there is really not much danger, but the merchant group is a material heavyweight, and our Daliao and Jin countries will send elite teams to spy and attack at any time." You are in charge of this part, and the battle should be the most intense, even if you don't die in battle, if something happens to the material, you can't get out of it. ”

Yang Zhi thought for a while and said, "Then you need to set up a special escort team, and you can't let the businessman arrange his own bodyguards to accompany him." ”

A gleam flashed in Xiao Weili's eyes and asked, "Did you think of something?"

"Merchant. Yang Zhi said unceremoniously: "The strength of the bodyguards invested by each businessman is different, and what is considered is their own safety and goods, even if someone coordinates, it is inevitable that there will be loopholes, and in the end they will be broken by the other party one by one." The resentful army can set up a separate escort team, and the businessman's bodyguard is only responsible for the safety of his own family, which is equivalent to a family general in the army, but it is the escort team that really fights the Jinren. ”

Master Tianxin nodded and said, "Yes, Lao Wei will send some more monks and tenants from Tianxiong Temple to join, Yang Zhi, how many people do you estimate the escort team needs?"

Yang Zhi estimated it and said, "Three hundred strong rides." ”

Xiao Lira agreed: "The resentful army can try it first, and if the effect is good, I will also copy it in the Jingzhou army." However, Master Tianxin, you should see Xiao Fengxian's eldest son Xiao Ang present, Xiao Yixue didn't come rashly by himself, it is likely that Xiao Ang or even Xiao Fengxian meant; ”

Master Tianxin is not an ascetic monk who doesn't listen to things outside the window, so he naturally knows what Xiao Weili is referring to, and his chin head says: "Fu Zun, the head of the household, the deputy privy envoy of the Northern Yuan, Yelu Enemy, the ordnance supervisor is set up, and the deputy commander of the Jingzhou Army, Xiao Qili, the four of them are sworn brothers, and they have served in Zhongjing for more than ten years, and things in the army can't be bypassed these four people at all, even Xiao Fengxian and Qin King Yeluding, and they must also scruple three points." General Xiao Lira, Prince Yeluchun transferred you, I'm afraid I also hope that you can help him. ”

Xiao Lili listened to Master Tianxin's pick, and his heart was overjoyed, knowing that Master Tianxin was a national teacher, and he would not normally participate in these battles, but now Emperor Tianzuo handed over the courage of the resentful army and the battle with the Jin State to Master Tianxin, and for the future of Da Liao, Master Tianxin had to participate. Xiao Weili said in a low voice: "The defeat of Xianzhou is full of suspicions, the resentful army is only 20,000 or 30,000 pieces of cotton clothing, and the materials at that time are not particularly scarce, but the household department has not allocated them for a long time; the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou army is there, and it is even more incredible that it will be defeated in a battle. ”

Yang Zhi understood, Ye Luchun was left behind in Nanjing, but after the defeat of Xianzhou, Emperor Tianzuo did not let Ye Luchun go back, but handed over the task of guarding Zhongjing to Ye Luchun. Xiao Lira went to Beijing to select officers in order to retrain the Jingzhou Army in Zhongjing, and the resentful army that was about to be reorganized became the object of Xiao Lira's hope to form an alliance.
