Chapter Twenty-Seven: Staying at Tushan and Meeting Two Monks

Yin Sheng's sudden arrival of help surprised Tang Jiusheng, because it was not in his plan, and he didn't even expect that this righteous brother he met in Lingdong Dao would value the friendship between them so much. Tang Jiusheng originally thought that the rest of the road to Huzhou Mansion would be attacked by people on the Green Forest Road, and he, who was seriously injured, would have to pick up a layer of skin if he didn't die.

As a matter of fact, the temptation of the Divine Sword Gate to offer a reward of a thousand gold is too great, who would be afraid of a so-called Roaring Dragon Knife Master who is seriously injured and has no deterrent power? As long as he kills this Roaring Dragon Knife Master, he will become famous overnight, and he will have gold and fame, fame and fortune, so why not do it? Aren't those masters who make a living by killing people and selling goods lack such opportunities?

Even Han Laosan, Ma Laowu and others, who only have a four-grade realm in martial arts, dare to come to this troubled water, not to mention Lu Jinqi, who has higher martial arts. Of course, Wan Deyan didn't want Tang Jiusheng to die so quickly, he set up this game to torture Tang Jiusheng, so that his internal injuries intensified in the resistance again and again, exhausted his internal strength, and finally died in pain.

Wan Deyan and Tang Fulong have been fighting for most of their lives, if he can take this opportunity to kill the genius young man of the Tang family at this moment, and let the old opponent Tang Fulong send the white-haired man to the black-haired man, then the blow to the Tang family is self-evident, Wan Deyan, who was walking on the road to Lingnan, smiled and said to himself, "Tang Jiusheng, Tang Jiusheng, this time you are really going to die for life!"

Yin Sheng was in command, which greatly stabilized the hearts of the people, Tang Jiusheng of course had to seize the time to recuperate, at this moment he sat in the car and sat down, stepping up his cultivation of the Heavenly Mystery Technique to repair his injuries. Wan Deyan dissipated his qi in the wine, according to his prediction, Tang Jiusheng, who was seriously injured and could only forcibly fight with people, had his meridians cut off, and it was only a matter of time before his martial arts were lost.

Only Wan Deyan didn't expect that Tang Jiusheng had the Inner Dan and decades of skill inherited from his uncle Liu Yisong in his body. Dispersing Qi can only aggravate Tang Jiusheng's injuries, but it will not reach the point where the meridians are completely broken, because Tang Jiusheng is far from digesting all of Liu Yisong's skills, and at least two-thirds of those skills are still stored in the dantian.

The qi dissipated a part of the internal force, and the internal force that had not yet been digested was continuously replenished, but this process of the meridians being damaged and repaired made Tang Jiusheng suffer more than ordinary people, and it could even be said that he was suffering, but as long as Tang Jiusheng could get through it, he would be blessed by misfortune.

Wan Deyan would not have expected that a rich kid named Yin Sheng suddenly appeared, shouldering Tang Jiusheng's burden, disrupting all his plans, and giving Tang Jiusheng a chance to recuperate.

Tang Jiusheng meditated and pranayama, the damaged meridians in his body were in severe pain, like fire, like oil boiling, the pain was so painful that his face spasmed, the pain was so painful that his heart was torn apart, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down, and the clothes on his body were as if they had just been fished out of the water, he had never suffered such a major sin since he was born. Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang watched from the sidelines, their hearts cut like knives, and they only hated and worried about the Venerable Master's pain.

On this day, in the process of hurrying, the dart team encountered two attacks successively, Yin Sheng shook the folding fan, and watched the game leisurely with a light face. The fierce-looking servant Zhao Lingzun's art is amazing, a pair of iron palms have deep internal strength, and he can repel the attack of two enemies with the strength of one person, although there are many second- and third-grade masters among the enemies on the opposite side.

When the two pulls of the enemy attacked, Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang got out of the car to watch the battle together, seeing the strength of the enemy, they couldn't help but be secretly frightened, if Yin Sheng didn't come, today these two strong enemies attacked, and Tang Jiusheng had to make a move to retreat from the enemy. And Tang Jiusheng was seriously injured and confronted the enemy, and his internal injuries would inevitably increase. Therefore, Yin Sheng's help this time is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

After repelling the enemy's two attacks, the dart team did not stop, and marched all the way west in the direction of Huzhou Mansion. It was soon dusk, Wen Tianlong opened the map, and found that the next Hongyang Town with an inn for accommodation was still seventy miles away, so he discussed with Tang Jiusheng, Yin Sheng and others, it seemed that he could only sleep in the wilderness tonight.

After walking more than ten miles, there was a small dirt mountain on the side of the road, so Wen Tianlong led the dart team to set up the tent on the dirt mountain, and arranged personnel to guard the temporary camp on the one hand, and took out water and rice on the other hand, and began to bury the pot to make rice.

At this time, I saw two monks, an old man and a young monk, walking on the official road, the little monk was holding a donkey, and there was a girl like a flower and jade sitting on the donkey. The old monk is seventy or eighty years old, with a face like an ancient moon, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, white beard and hair, and holding a bamboo Zen stick. The little monk leading the donkey carried a package on his back and an old ring knife at his waist.

Through the hazy moonlight, the little monk saw that there were tents on the bare earth mountain, and there was the light of fireworks, and he was surprised: "Master, someone here is camping, presumably cooking, why don't we go and make a fortune?"

The old monk recited a Buddha name and said with a smile: "Good!

When the sentry master and his men saw two monks, an old man and a young man, leading the donkey to the camp of the dart team, they were very nervous, and asked sharply, "Who are you? What are you going to do?"

The little monk bowed his head and said: "Good, the little monk is a monk from Youfang, it is late, and he is hungry, so he has come to make a fortune to several donors." ”

The rule of dart walking is not to meddle in your affairs, lest the boat capsize in the gutter. So, the sentry dart master shouted to the little monk: "We are the dart team of darts, you should also go to the villages and towns in front if you want to turn your fate!"

Yin Sheng heard what was being said from afar, and walked over with Ximo and Zhao Lingzun with a torch, Yin Sheng smiled slightly, and said to the little monk: "Little master, the ascetic monks don't eat at noon, how can you break the vows?"

The little monk's face turned red, "Donor, it's no problem for the little monk not to eat, but we also have a female layman here, she wants to eat when she is hungry." ”

By the light of the torches, Yin Sheng saw that there was an unusually beautiful woman on the back of the donkey, and he was very surprised, how could a normal monk take a woman out for a walk?

Who knew that Zhao Lingzun was taken aback when he saw the old monk at a glance, and hurriedly asked, "Is it the old Zen master Puxuan?"

When the old monk saw Zhao Lingzun, he couldn't help laughing, "It's the old man, Lord Zhao, I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and the donor has always been good?"

Fuli City, a lonely city, with thick walls, is located at the northernmost end of Longting Road of the Great Shang Kingdom, bordering the strong enemy of the Great Xia Kingdom. At this time, more than five zhang Fuli from the city, Longting Daojing slightly made Guo Chong's face solemn, looking at the overwhelming Daxia cavalry under the city, Guo Chong was behind the pale Fuli Taishou Li Yiming and the tall and resolute Captain Sun Qingming.

The Great Xia Kingdom in the north lives nomadically, lives in the depths of the steppe and the Gobi for generations, lives in the depths of the grassland and the Gobi, often harasses and invades the border counties of the Great Shang Kingdom, looting rice, grain, salt and iron, and sometimes plundering some people as slaves by the way, every time they run away after fighting, and when you finally gather the army to arrive, the Great Xia cavalry has already calmly retreated to the depths of the grassland.

Last winter, the northern Great Xia Kingdom suffered a heavy snowstorm once in decades, and countless cattle and sheep froze to death, Guo Chong expected that the Great Xia people would definitely go south to plunder in the spring, but the momentum was so great that it far exceeded his expectations.

It was rumored that more than 30,000 Great Xia cavalry were heading south, and Li Yiming, the Taishou guard, wanted to abandon the city and flee, but was stopped by Sun Qingming, the commander of the main battle. Taishou Li Yiming and Duwei Sun Qingming were both demoted to Longting Road together after they jointly played with Situ Guo Chong to ask the emperor to accept the power of eunuchs.

Emperor Yin Guang actually really trusted these officials who dared to write a letter to impeach the eunuchs, and which of these people did not pin their heads to their belts? Impeaching Yang Jingzhong, who had the power to power the whole world and could not even be provoked by the emperor, was almost equivalent to looking for death. If it weren't for the ancestral system of the Great Shang State that it was forbidden to kill ministers without permission, the heads of these officials would be hanging. Even so, the emperor said many good things about Yang Jingzhong for these officials.

The funniest thing is that the emperor and eunuchs are not good at killing ministers, but Yin Quan, as a vassal king, has killed several county commanders and eunuchs, which is not a great irony.

Regarding the demotion of his post, Li Yiming was full of complaints, originally wanted to take the opportunity of the admonition to make a reputation, but he didn't expect to be demoted to the point that this bird was unwilling to come to to Fuli City as a guard. But I didn't expect Sun Qingming, who was also demoted, to be very excited, thinking that Longting Road was a good place to use, and it was a good time for the husband to make contributions.

Previously, as an important border town, Fuli City was often harassed by the Great Xia cavalry, and Guo Chong was not worried that Li Yiming was alone in this city, so he sent Sun Qingming to assist Li Yiming, and fortunately sent Sun Qingming to come, otherwise Li Yiming had abandoned the city and fled, at this time, Fuli City was probably looted by the Great Xia cavalry, and set on fire.

After Guo Chong received the news of the invasion of the Great Xia cavalry reported by the scouts, he quickly ordered the generals and captains stationed in Yangguan and Anping to lead troops to help, and personally led 500 elite cavalry to rush to Fuli City overnight to calm the hearts of the army.

Looking at the two officials behind him, Guo Chong thought thoughtfully, and asked in a low voice: "Li Taishou, Sun Duwei, do you have the confidence to hold the Fuli City and wait until the reinforcements of Song Wei and other generals arrive?"

Li Yiming said softly: "My lord, Fuli is a lonely city, and there are only 3,000 defenders in the city, and the grain and grass are not very sufficient. Now that the adults are here again, please ask the adults to raise everything. ”

Sun Qingming pressed the knife on his waist and said loudly: "Lord Qiyu, the last general thinks that the city wall is tall, the grain and grass are enough to last more than a month, and the Great Xia cavalry is not good at siege warfare, our soldiers are well-trained, and the reinforcements can arrive in less than half a month, and there is absolutely no problem in holding this city." If he loses, the last general will be willing to be the military commander!Hehe, it's a pity that we have few soldiers, if we can have 20,000 horses, it will be enough to go out of the city and cut down the damn Daxia cavalry!"

Guo Chong smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Sun Qingming's shoulder, "This official is as confident as Sun Duwei to hold Fuli City, as long as he drags the Great Xia cavalry, when the reinforcements come, I'm afraid these cavalry will retreat without a fight." With the consistent performance of these Great Xia cavalry, if they can't beat Fuli City, they will have to return home. ”

Guo Chong stood at the head of the city as high as five zhang, holding the battlements of the city wall, looking at the Da Xuan in the Great Xia army in the distance, which was stirring in the wind, and under the Da Xuan was the Great Xia Guoshan Yu Mo Di riding a horse, and the sturdy and tall Shan Yu Mo Di stroked the saber in his hand, and looked at the Guozi banner raised high in the city with a gloomy face.

Guo Chong looked at the Great Xia cavalry who came on horseback under the city, and said to himself in a low voice: "Great Shang and Great Xia, sooner or later there will be a battle, in a short period of time, Great Shang has no power to fight back, but in the end, Great Shang can destroy Great Xia, but Great Xia can't destroy Great Shang." It's just that the old man wants to guard Longting Road, and he has a long way to go!"

Next to Mo Di Shan Yu, the two people riding horses were Mo Di's younger brother Na Shiyu and the mastermind Zhang Dongyuan. Mo Di looked at the Guo Zi banner at the head of the city, and asked Zhang Dongyuan with a gloomy face: "I didn't expect that Guo Chong, an old thief, would come to Fuli City, it seems that Fuli City is not easy to fight this time." If we can't beat Fuli, what are we going to do? It's impossible to return in vain, right?"

Zhang Dongyuan smiled slightly, "Fuli Taishou Li Yiming is a coward, if he hears that Da Shan Yu personally led the army south, he will definitely abandon the city and flee." Unexpectedly, a Guo Chong was killed halfway, and this Guo Chong would definitely not abandon the city. Fu away from the city wall is tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack, according to the slave view, we feign to attack the city during the day, and suddenly turn around at night to attack Songbei County, which is called the sound of the east and the west in the art of war, they are not prepared, we will inevitably have something to gain. ”

Mo Di nodded and laughed: "It's still you, a guy who has read books, has a lot of ghost ideas, okay, it's up to you, we will send part of our troops to attack the city during the day, and we will turn around to fight Songbei County at night, those stupid people of the big merchants would never think that we would dare to fight Songbei County, just to catch those rabbit cubs off guard." ”

......

The history of the Great Shang Dynasty records: on the ninth day of the third month of the spring of the fourth year of Jingyuan, 30,000 Daxia cavalry under the leadership of Mo Di Shan Yu attacked Fuli City, and then raided Songbei County in the middle of Longting Road, the city was broken, Taishou Lu Songling, Du Rutao and 2,000 soldiers defending the city were all killed, and the Daxia cavalry plundered the population, property, grain, salt and iron of Songbei County, and then set fire to the city, and the Great Shang shocked the whole country.
