Chapter 217: On the eve of the Great War
Ji Rentu looked at the fat man in front of him and instructed, "Today we are going to attack Liangchen Gang, do we need you to listen to some news?"
The Bijia cavalry general arched his hand and said, "Please give the general's orders!"
Hu Qingzheng saw that his boss showed a solemn expression, and naturally paid more attention to what he ordered next.
"First of all, contact Liu Dong and Zhu Wen as soon as possible, they led the team to carry out a mission in Tiexin Village, and they have lost contact since last night. I was going to wait until I could get in touch with them before I left...... It's just ......" The bald man said here, hesitated slightly, he didn't tell the other party Zhang Heng's previous analysis of the situation.
However, after all, Hu Qingzheng has been engaged in this kind of intelligence exploration for many years, so he naturally understands the thoughts of the leader, and without waiting for Ji Rentu to continue, he nodded and responded: "Please rest assured, General Qingzheng, this matter will naturally be handled well!"
The bald man glanced at the big man in front of him and continued: "Second, I need you to contact the previous informant to find out the reality of Liangchengang and the situation in Yinren Village. If possible, develop a few more inside lines. ”
The big man in the blue armor groaned slightly, and said with a wry smile: "General, the intelligence system of Yinren Village is the most efficient intelligence organization that Hu has ever seen, which is comparable to the first-class sect of Jianghu Walkers. If you want to find out some irrelevant information, you may be able to try it in the future, if you want to insert a certain eyeliner, it is not something that can be promoted in a short time. ”
Ji Rentu frowned, he naturally knew the difficulty of the opponent, although the strength of Yinren Village was not the strongest among the six forces, but it was the most mysterious, the existence of the "Salary List" was like a sword hanging over the head of the Fallen Leaf City, and they didn't know how many secrets of the rivers and lakes were hidden in this sparsely populated small village.
At this moment, the black-armored soldier outside came to report: "Report to the general, the horses are ready to go at any time!"
Ji Rentu's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand: "Okay, Qing Zheng, you go down first, just try to do it." ”
Saying that, he walked out of the tent, looked at the group of black-armored iron horsemen who were ready to go in front of him, and shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone listen to the order!
With the bald man's order, the thousand well-trained iron horsemen sprang out like steel beasts, heading towards the south at full speed.
......
Yi Xifeng finished eating the "sugar bibimbap version of rice cakes" that Li Xintian made for him, and simply told the girl about last night. After hearing that the boy could use the sword to attack overnight, Li Xintian's fair little face was full of smiles.
"I didn't expect that after more than three years of sword practice, it was the first time that I could learn a swordsmanship overnight!"
The fair-skinned girl thought for a moment and explained: "Actually, in the past three years, you have followed Brother Cheng Tao to cultivate the Thirteen Swords of Chasing the Wind, but most of the time, it has been the training and strengthening of your basic qualities. There is very little time to practice sword moves. ”
Yi Xifeng could naturally hear that this was the girl comforting herself, but after thinking about it, it seemed to make some sense.
If it weren't for the fact that he was expanding his physical strength day and night to meet the harsh and inhuman requirements of the Thirteen Swords of Chasing the Wind, then it would naturally be impossible for him to keep up with Qingzhu, who had been piling up high-intensity sword moves for more than an hour.
If it weren't for Li Chengtao's continuous refining of the boy's ability to resist blows and his ability to adapt temporarily, then he would not have the ability to instantly memorize sword moves.
In this way, Yi Xifeng's ability to "cultivate a sword every day" this time really depends not on his excellent kendo talent, but on his diligent practice in the past three years.
Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but complain: "Making a fake look like a real is a fake in the end, and you will always lose your work if you make up for your clumsiness!"
Li Xintian blinked his eyes wide, and asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Yi Xifeng smiled and said, "Diligence can make up for clumsiness!"
"If a five-year-old person opens up the meridians around his body, he is clumsy. Then there are really a few smart people in these rivers and lakes!" The girl wrinkled her cute little nose and smiled playfully.
"Do you say that there are very few people on the rivers and lakes who are five years old and have opened up the meridians around their bodies?" Yi Xifeng asked curiously.
He drank alcohol three years ago and penetrated the meridians around his body, which was also accidental. At this time, the white young man was different from before, and naturally knew how dangerous his behavior was that day. He always thought that he could survive the baptism of eighteen mouthfuls of spirits, and his greatest reliance was that he had an adult soul.
Later, the boy learned that he had drunk an amber liquor like a line of fire that day, called Crash God Wine. It is a kind of wine used by foreign warriors to forge their bodies. That day, the young man felt that his soul was agitated, and he used his perseverance to withstand the test, in fact, the real power of this kind of god-shattering wine lies in the forging body.
At that time, the white pure boy was an ordinary person who had never been exposed to the cultivation of internal strength, and after drinking such a large amount of Collision God Wine, it was Li Chengqian who was sitting behind Yi Xifeng at that time.
The Collision Divine Wine was originally a drink for the cultivation of foreign martial artists, and it had little impact on the divine soul, and it also had some effects of nourishing the divine soul.
Its real focus is on the refining of the physical body and the meridians in the body. But it was in this situation that Yi Xifeng was still drunk and couldn't help himself. It is conceivable what kind of test Li Chengqian, who stabilized the young man's body behind him, faced!
That was the first time Yi Xifeng had seen Li Chengqian's face so pale, and it was also the last time he had seen him so weak.
The fair-skinned girl thought for a while and said softly: "When I was a child, I heard Brother Cheng Tao say that the general sect forces or family forces will focus on the cultivation of outstanding disciples, and in today's martial arts, those who can open up the meridians around their bodies before the age of fifteen are all relatively excellent sect disciples." ”
"So, we're all excellent sect disciples, aren't we?" Yi Xifeng quipped with a smile.
Li Xintian cultivated the Thick Earth Qi Technique, and the meridians around his body that penetrated at the age of only eight were the youngest except for the white and pure boys.
The girl continued: "However, for the core disciples of each major sect, they will have special elders to assist in their cultivation, so these people are all open to the meridians around their bodies before the age of ten. ”
The fair-skinned girl glanced at the other party, and without waiting for him to speak, she continued: "And in some super sects, such as the existence of the Eight Great Sects, they will return this time not short in advance, and even some young sect masters and young sect masters, when they are just born, please take a shot from the strong of the Holy Realm, and directly penetrate the meridians around the body!"
Yi Xifeng looked at each other dumbfounded, obviously he didn't expect that there would be someone in the world who would be able to penetrate the meridians around his body when he was born, this kind of heroic style...... It really made the white young man a little envious and jealous......
Li Xintian saw the shock of the young man, and said with a smile: "Hehe, don't be depressed, they are all connected by external forces, and they are not capable." If you rely on your own courage and ability to penetrate the meridians around your body in one fell swoop, I believe that only Brother Xifeng is the most powerful in the world!"
"What did you say?" asked the white young man with a shocked expression.
The young man was also stunned and muttered, "Eh, I said they are not really good......"
"It's not this sentence, the latter sentence!" Yi Xifeng asked eagerly with burning eyes.
Li Xintian blinked his eyes and said suspiciously: "You are the most powerful in the world?"
The young man looked directly at the fair-skinned girl, and said word by word: "You just called me, Brother Xifeng!"
With just this sentence, the fair-skinned girl's cheeks flushed instantly, and a girl's flush gradually spread out from her slender neck, like a budding flower bone, which was very beautiful.
.................. Dividing line ..................
Hu Qingzheng took his men and horses and followed behind Ji Rentu's large army. The two hundred and fifty soldiers under his command did not wear black armor, but were dressed in coarse linen clothes, and if it weren't for the fact that everyone rode on a uniform black horse, they really couldn't see their military identity.
These people are the special troops of the intelligence group under Ji Rentu, and their leader is naturally Hu Qingzheng, one of the four cavalry generals!
"My lord, three groups of people have been discharged. So far, no trace of Zhu Caijun has been found. As for General Liu, judging from their whereabouts, they should have attacked Tiexin Village. Just ......"
The fat man frowned and said, "Just what?"
"It's just that Tiexin Village is located near Queshan, where there are enemy outposts, and we can't take a fast horse to go there to find out, so we can only send people to sneak in. In that case, we will have to get the news tonight at the earliest. ”
The Bijia man pondered for a moment and ordered: "The situation in Tiexin Village is very important, add two more groups, and be sure to find the whereabouts of General Zhu first." ”
"No!" the soldier, dressed in coarse linen clothes, immediately bowed in response.
Looking at the group of subordinates dressed like villagers behind him, Hu Qingzheng had some bottom in his heart, this group of people was his right-hand men who had been trained for many years, although the incident was urgent, but he believed that it would not be long before it would come to light.
"Shui Yuntian, Zhao Yuntian, hmph, you wait!" the fat man muttered hatefully.
Obviously, he was familiar with the tall and thin middle-aged man who originally belonged to Tiexin Village, and even once became a confidant and mortal enemy! But none of this could change the position of the two of them from beginning to end.
One mountain does not allow two tigers!
I think that Hu Qingzheng took the initiative to contact the forces of Tiexin Village, and it was Shui Yuntian of the intelligence team who contacted him at that time, until later the tall and thin middle-aged man agreed to Ji Shenfu and agreed to defect.
For a while, the former leader of the intelligence organization of Tiexin Village became a big celebrity in front of Lord Junzai. In this way, Ji Rentu, who was the first important minister under Ji Shen's support, was challenged.
And Hu Qingzheng was in charge of intelligence work under him, and the position between the two became very clear and clear.
However, what the Bijia cavalry general never expected was that this tall and thin middle-aged man, who was inseparable from Ji Ren's slaughter, betrayed them again in the blink of an eye. It wasn't until yesterday that they learned through Yao Jingshun's mouth that this Shui Yuntian was Zhao Yuntian! He turned out to be from Yinren Village!
As an intelligence officer, in many ways, he looks at things differently from Ji Rentu's perspective. He didn't think that this small village with a population of less than 2,000 could be as powerful as the bald man.
In his cognition, the small village of the Six Directions forces is probably a behemoth hidden in the fog!
Within three days, Tiexin Village was slaughtered! Its castle master, Helian Tiexin, died in his own army! This kind of terrifying military deterrent is difficult to achieve even in Fallen Leaf City.
Hu Qingzheng looked at the corner tower that was faintly visible in the distance, and he knew that in half an hour, they would arrive at the hinterland of Yinren Village, Liangchen Gang. And an inevitable fierce battle is no longer inevitable.
......
"Report, Lord Zhao! The corner tower found that a large number of cavalry had appeared fifty miles away from here!" said a man in a cloak and hat.
The tall and thin middle-aged man sitting in the camp tent suddenly opened his eyes, only to see that there was no emotion in his sharp eyes, and after a while, he whispered: "Blow the camp trumpet!"
Soon a rapid trumpet sounded in the camp, and a whole two hundred strong men were standing in formation in the middle of the school grounds.
At this time, all the combat troops that Yinren Village could take out, because the vast majority of the guards in iron clothes were now in Tiexin Village, so the vast majority of those who could fight in the village were strong men wearing robes and hats.
Of course, it is not that there is no guard iron suit, the twelve masters of the martial arts selected by the martial arts competition a few days ago are the guard iron clothes guarding here.
Yi Xifeng looked at the orderly soldiers in the camp tent, and felt a lot more relieved. However, after all, it was the first time for the white pure boy to participate in this kind of large-scale battle, even if he raided Tiexin Village before, it was a small-scale assault operation, more like a squad battle.
And this kind of regular battle of attacking the city and defending the defense, he participated in it for the first time, and he was somewhat apprehensive.
Fortunately, there are not many people in the mood like him, after all, it took four years of tempering to enter the strong man, and then he completed various salary tasks. The strong men present showed extremely high combat qualities.
Soon a strong man found several of them and said loudly: "Everyone, Lord Zhao is invited!"
Everyone nodded their heads and followed the man towards the camp. Yi Xifeng didn't react for a while because he was distracted before, and walked last. He suddenly found Zhao Long, who was also at the end of the line.
I saw that the face of the young man with two knives was gloomy, as if he had something on his mind, but the white young man didn't want to be a confidant brother, so he didn't ask much.
On the way, the white young man saw a kind of quartermaster in a black robe handing out defensive equipment to everyone, and it was obvious from the attire of these quartermasters that they were all from blacksmiths.
It makes sense to think about it, in this battle of Yinren Village, all the armed forces poured out, so it is natural to use all the weapons that can be used in the arsenal.
Soon the group was taken to a large tent, and the people lifted the curtain and walked in. It was found that a huge sand table was placed in the middle of the tent, and the sand table was full of small flags. On both sides of the sand table, there were two people standing, none other than Zhao Yunming, who was tall and thin, and Teng Snake wearing a light white hood.
"Lord Zhao, according to this deduction, we have little hope of winning!" the tall man said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, the brows of the twelve people who had just entered the camp all wrinkled subconsciously.
