Chapter 152: Energetic Ning
"Who are you?"
Fan Liye, who was startled, stared at Leng Xiuxian, who suddenly appeared, and then turned his head to look at Wei Tiangang with a puzzled expression.
Wei Tiangang smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't be nervous, this person is Leng Xiuxian, an old friend of Ben Shuai, you can call him Mr. Leng." ”
Leng Xiuxian stood a foot away from Fan Liye, looked at it carefully, raised his eyes and asked, "Have you ever practiced martial arts?"
Fan Liye's expression moved slightly, and he first bowed slightly to Leng Xiuxian and said, "Fan Liye has seen Mr. Leng. ”
Then he said: "I only learned some superficial fist and foot kung fu, but did not learn internal skills. ”
After finishing speaking, he took a quick look at Leng Xiuxian by the candlelight.
This person was dressed in a dark blue robe, slightly shorter than Wei Shuai, with a thin face, a slightly old appearance, and a three-foot beard under his chin.
After only glancing at Leng Xiuxian, Fan Liye withdrew his gaze.
Cold, his gaze was cold.
Leng Xiuxian chuckled and said, "I didn't expect to hear someone from the Fan royal family calling the old man sir, but the old man borrowed Wei Shuai's light." ”
His smile, in Fan Liye's opinion, was so disdainful.
Fan Liye was a little unhappy in his heart.
Even if you just heard the conversation between Ben Shizi and Wei Shuai, so what?
This prince is still His Royal Highness, and even Wei Shuai is polite to this prince, who are you looking down on here?
Fan Liye held back the anger in his heart and said to Leng Xiuxian: "Mr. said that you are joking, you are an elder, and Fan Liye, as a junior, should call you 'sir'." ”
Wei Tiangang glanced at Leng Xiuxian and said, "Since you have chosen to come out, you should let it go, the grudge back then has nothing to do with Your Highness." ”
Leng Xiuxian sneered and said: "It is natural for the father to repay the debts of the son, why do they only care about the happiness of their sons, but they can't repay the debts of the previous generation? Since the old man can come out, he can naturally go back." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Fan Liye and said, "The elder is Mr.? The peddlers, pawns, beggars and butchers who come and go on the street, as long as they are older than His Highness, His Highness will call him 'Sir' when he meets him?"
Fan Liye chuckled and said: "To call or not to call, it's just a title, some people, even if this son is willing to call him 'sir', I'm afraid he may not dare to respond." ”
Leng Xiuxian snorted lightly and said, "Your Highness is so majestic! In this case, Your Highness doesn't need to call me 'sir', Leng doesn't dare to be someone." ”
Fan Liye shook his head and said: "How to call it is in my heart, should or should not be in Mr., if Mr. feels that he does not dare to be, it is Mr.'s own business." ”
Looking at Leng Xiuxian again, Fan Liye only felt that this person was definitely not very human, no wonder his personality was so obedient.
It's just that Wei Tiangang has such a master hidden by his side, which is very unexpected to him.
At the moment, he didn't care about questioning Wei Tiangang, and he intended to befriend Leng Xiuxian, and said to him: "Mr. is a master, but this son's "sir" is called sincerely. ”
"Sincerely, does Your Highness think that you can't beat the old man, so you are sincere?"
Originally, Fan Liye's words made Leng Xiuxian speechless for a while, but fortunately, Fan Liye said such a sentence again, and he couldn't help but reply again.
In the end, he is the prince of the palace, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth.
Wei Tiangang waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, Mr. Leng, since you think Your Highness is good, you don't need to hold it, Your Highness has admired martial arts powerhouses since childhood, and the words you just said may not be for the sake of Ben Shuai's face." According to Ben Shuai, maybe you have a master-apprentice relationship with His Royal Highness!"
When Fan Liye heard this, his eyes lit up, but he didn't dare to speak rashly, just looked at Leng Xiuxian quietly.
Leng Xiuxian glanced at Fan Liye a few more times, nodded and said: "Just looking at His Highness's body and bones, it is not bad, but the old man's disciple will not accept it easily, even if he is His Royal Highness the Prince? Besides, the old man may not be able to enter the eyes of His Royal Highness. ”
Fan Liye hurriedly said: "Mr. Leng is too modest, he can get Mr. guidance, Fan Liye can't ask for it!"
Fan Liye said this sentence sincerely.
Wei Tiangang smiled and said to Leng Xiuxian, "Who else can put a knife on your neck?"
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Fan Liye and said, "Your Highness, this matter is not in a hurry at the moment, let's talk about it after tonight!"
Fan Liye nodded and said, "Wei Shuai, have you made a decision?"
Leng Xiuxian didn't speak, he was able to come out, and he came for Fan Liye.
Don't look at his words just now, in fact, Fan Liye's answer is very much in line with his temper.
Wei Tiangang said: "For now, let's go to the camp in the east of the city first, if there is really an accident, it is better to take precautions." ”
After saying that, he shouted in the direction of the door: "Wanchang, you come in!"
Wan Chang pushed the door out, "Wei Shuai, what do you command?"
Wei Tiangang said: "Pass my order, and all the personnel in the palace will immediately go to the camp in the east of the city." ”
After speaking, he added, "Remember, don't take anything other than valuables!"
Wan Chang took the order to come out.
Fan Liye looked at Wei Tiangang and asked, "Wei Shuai, are you planning to leave Ziyang City?"
Wei Tiangang sighed and said, "You can't meet your own people and soldiers in the royal capital, there is only this way to go now." ”
Then he looked at Fan Liye and asked, "Your Highness, would you like to go with me?"
Fan Liye smiled bitterly and said: "Wei Shuai, I came to the Shuai Mansion tonight, I was originally begging Wei Shuai to take me in, thinking that I was the dignified prince of Bazhou, but I couldn't find a place to stay here." ”
Leng Xiuxian said on the side: "If Your Highness still can't let go of the identity of Wang Shizi, I'm afraid that if you go with Wei Shuai, you may not really be able to find a place to stay." ”
Fan Liye pondered for a moment, bowed to Leng Xiuxian, and said, "Mr. Xie Leng reminds you, Fan Liye understands!"
Since he chooses to send people under the fence, he must learn to look up to others, not to mention that the person he chooses to take refuge in is Wei Shuai.
Maybe Wei Shuai will choose to support him in the future.
But that's just a possibility.
Before those fantasies are realized, he can only choose to bow his head.
Wei Tiangang said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, in the eyes of my Wei Tiangang, you will always be the son of the king, His Royal Highness!"
Fan Liye smiled and did not speak.
My father is gone, what is his Royal Highness?
Leng Xiuxian's words were not to ask him to be respectful to Wei Tiangang, but to mention Fan Liye, don't let go of the identity of the son of the world in front of others in the army.
As for what Wei Tiangang said, it is another hint.
He Fan Liye understands.
Fan Liye secretly swore in his heart that he must rely on his own efforts to make Wei Shuai look at him differently.
Only if Wei Shuai looks at him differently, he will have a chance.
Wei Tiangang looked at Leng Xiuxian and said, "Mr. Leng, I may have to work hard for you tonight." ”
Leng Xiuxian raised his eyes and said angrily: "What's the matter?
Wei Tiangang smiled bitterly: "The old man originally thought that there was room for relaxation, but now I am afraid that it will be...... Alas, it's just that Qingqing may not be willing. ”
Leng Xiuxian was silent for a moment and said: "It's not difficult for me to sneak over, but if she is unwilling to leave with me, then I can only return in vain." ”
Wei Tiangang's eyes closed slightly, shook his head and sighed: "If she doesn't want to, then let's settle their destiny!"
——————————
Five hundred elite soldiers stood in line, and the five centurions stepped forward to salute Ning Kai, and said in unison: "Commander Ning, the people have been ordered to assemble, please give instructions." ”
Ning Kai said in a deep voice to the five people in front of him: "On the king's order, you and others will hurry to the west gate of the city with the commander of this city, open the city gate, if anyone dares to stop it, there will be no mercy!"
The five centurions did not immediately receive the order, but looked at each other a few times, and one of them stepped forward and saluted and asked, "Commander Ning, this matter is not trivial, but Vice Marshal Feng knows about it." ”
Seeing Ning Kai's displeased look on his face, the centurion said again: "Commander Ning Mo blames the subordinate and said bluntly, but we are all people in the army of Vice Marshal Feng, and today I was transferred to the palace by the deputy marshal and temporarily served as the palace guard. ”
At the moment, the situation is urgent, and Ning Kai has no intention of standing up here, he glanced at the five people, and said lightly: "The situation is urgent, and the commander doesn't want to talk to you a few people, the deputy marshal is in the mansion, if you don't believe it, you can go and ask, but the ugly words of the commander can be said in front, if the king's major event is delayed, at that time, don't blame the commander for not telling you." ”
Several people looked at each other, and the centurion who spoke first said: "In this case, the last general will believe what Commander Ning said, and Commander Wangning remembers what Fang just said, don't blame the deputy marshal, let our brothers be punished." ”
Ning Kai knew that this won people's hearts by relying on both grace and power, and now he didn't have the opportunity to show his majesty, so there was no need to pretend to be an adult in front of a few people.
Feng Yuan was right, he couldn't let his subordinates respect the skin on his body.
He smiled and said, "A few adults can rest assured, for such a major event, I would naturally not fake the military order." ”
Then he shouted: "The generals listen to the order, quickly go to the west of the city with this commander, and take the west gate." ”
"Order!"
Ning Kai did not ride a horse, but chose to run with everyone to the west of the city.
He had a light skill, and he had run half the way, but he felt that it was too slow, so he said to the five centurions: "My lords, in order not to make a mistake, I will take a step ahead and go over to see the situation of Simon, and you should hurry up and follow." ”
As soon as the words fell, he rose and fell a few times, and then disappeared in front of everyone.
The five centurions were surprised by Ning Kai's high skill, and when they saw that Ning Kai was gone, they shouted to the soldiers: "Hurry, hurry, the one behind, follow quickly!"
In addition to going to the West Gate to investigate in a hurry, Ning Kai also had the intention of showing his skills in front of everyone.
He didn't believe it, with his martial arts, he couldn't subdue these guys who were just a little bit of a fist.
They are all from Qingyun Sect, but not only he Feng Yuan knows martial arts.
After a cup of tea, he arrived near the west gate.
Ning Kai did not appear in a hurry, but secretly investigated the situation in front of the city gate.
There were only four men guarding the gates.
Ning Qi smiled, is this Vice Marshal Feng too cautious, just a few people are guarding here, and he is still using him to bring five hundred people over?
originally thought that he was going to experience a vicious battle, but who expected that there were only so many people here, and Ning Kai didn't even have the desire to make a move.
He swaggered in the direction of the city gates.
Seeing someone appear, the soldiers defending the city hurriedly raised their spears in their hands and shouted, "Who are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
Another person said, "What nonsense are you talking about him? This person has violated the curfew, just take it!"
After speaking, he shouted at Ning Kai: "Don't stand still yet, quickly tie up your hands?"
The corners of Ning Kai's mouth were raised, and his toes were a little on tiptoe.
A few people only felt a flower in front of them.
"Bang",
One person flew upside down three feet away, fell to the ground, convulsed a few times, and then fainted.
Ning Kai shook his head, his ability is not big, but his voice is not small, and he really can't help fighting, he just punched casually.
He turned to look at the other three.
The legs are starting to tremble?
Also, it's not that they're too weak, it's that they're too strong.
After all, compared to those who practice martial arts, they are like children.
What's more, he is a disciple of Qingyun Sect, a disciple of the lineage.
Ning Kai was a little regretful, the five hundred people came a little slowly, and he couldn't see himself so heroic.
Ning Kai looked at the man who fell to the ground again,
It shouldn't be that he was killed by himself, but he kept his hand, if he can be killed in this way, it can only mean that he is not suitable to be a city guard.
"Someone, there's an enemy attack~"
A loud cry rang in my ears.
Ning Kai looked at the three people who had gathered together, holding spears and retreating.
One of them was shouting at the top of his voice.
Ning Qi sneered: "Shout, shout hard, I want to see who you can call!"
Before the words fell, many people suddenly appeared on the wall, stretching their bows and arrows, aiming at themselves under the city.
A man in armor, holding the handle of a knife, shouted: "Where did the madman come from, dare to come to Lao Tzu's chassis to spread wild, he really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall!
Ning Kai's eyes shrank, his toes twisted, and the person had flown seven or eight feet away.
Originally, he could have pulled someone as a meat shield, but he didn't bother to do that.
If he happened to let the five hundred people he brought with him, wouldn't it be an insult to his prestige.
The feathered arrows clinked to the ground.
Seeing that the first round of arrows was empty, the captain guarding the city at the head of the city frowned, it seemed that this person was still a master, he shouted: "Keep shooting, in addition, go down a hundred people, and guard in front of the door." ”
Ning Kai, who had flown dozens of feet away, didn't expect that there were so many people on top of the city.
He made a visual inspection, and there were about two hundred people.
Everyone also carried a longbow and stood on top of the city, taking advantage of the terrain, no wonder Feng Yuan asked him to lead so many people over.
Even if he was stared at by so many people, Ning Kai did not have the slightest nervousness.
It's just a bunch of chickens and dogs.
But it is impossible for him to take down so many people on his own.
If the other party doesn't have a longbow, it's fine.
Ning Li licked his lips, and the corners of his mouth lifted.
Interesting, this is interesting!
Ning Kai retreated a few feet and looked at the opposite side from a distance.
Seeing that this man was forced to retreat by the bow and arrow, the captain shouted, "Stop!"
Then he shouted to the below: "Go, pick up the arrows that were shot, and the people above cover them!"
He looked at the figure in the darkness from afar, and shouted, "Who are you? Why do you go out late at night? Since Your Excellency is a person from the rivers and lakes, why don't you take the road of the rivers and lakes?"
He said it very directly.
The people in the rivers and lakes, the kung fu is good, and the city wall can't stop it, even if they want to stop it, it's in vain, so they simply watch them turn over the wall.
But ordinary people in the rivers and lakes can't do it, only the kind of powerful people who can come and go.
If you climb the wall with a tool rope, then you will be greeted with a group of knives and arrows.
Ning Kai ignored the captain.
At the moment, his command has not yet arrived, and it is not appropriate to reveal his identity at this time.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Ning Kai looked at it and chuckled.
It's finally here!
Seeing that a large group of men and horses were suddenly coming in line here, the captain of the city head was shocked, and said to his subordinates: "Don't act rashly, listen to the general's orders." ”
After saying this, he hurried down the city and stood in front of the crowd with his sword drawn.
Five hundred elite soldiers stood in line, and the five centurions walked quickly to Ning Kai's front and saluted: "Commander Ning, the people have been brought, do you want to do it?"
Ning Kai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we are all king's people, we must bow first." Let's go, go with the Commander and talk to them!"
"Yes!"
Ning Kai was in front, five people followed, and five hundred elite soldiers followed in five columns.
About forty zhang away from the opposite side, Ning Kai raised his hand.
The five centurions turned around and shouted, "Array!"
The five hundred elite soldiers quickly moved their pace, and after a few breaths, they had already lined up the "cone formation".
Ning Kai glanced back and nodded.
is worthy of being an elite soldier under the command of Vice Marshal Feng.
The eyes of the captain guarding the city on the opposite side moved slightly, and he remembered that these five hundred people were under the command of Vice Marshal Feng and entered the city before sunset.
It's just that the person leading the troops on the other side is more like a man in the rivers and lakes?
The enemy is outnumbered, and it is not appropriate to act rashly.
Besides, the other side is not an enemy.
He arched his hand and said to Ning Kai: "Dare to ask which lord your Excellency is? Why did you lead troops to my west gate late at night? and injured my subordinates, don't you know the rules of the curfew in Ziyang City?"
Ning Kai chuckled and said, "I, Ning Kai, am the commander of the palace guards, and I came tonight by the king's order to guard the west gate." ”
The lieutenant was puzzled: "Guarding the West Gate?" Commander Ning, who would have guarded the town here, why bother with you? Shouldn't the palace guards be guarding the palace? How can there be any reason to come here to guard the city gate?"
Ning Kai said: "This is the king's order, you don't need to say much, now you just need to hand over the West Gate to this commander to guard!"
The lieutenant's heart moved slightly, could it be that there was something wrong with Vice Marshal Feng?
Take people into the city during the day, and come here late at night to grab the door.
He knew that Vice Marshal Feng's men and horses were in the west of the city, and if he handed over the west gate so easily, if something big happened in the future, he would be killed.
After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Commander Ning, since you said that it was the king's order, please take out the king's edict, it's not that the general can't trust Commander Ning, it's just that the duty is, and please forgive Commander Ning." ”
Ning Kai came in a hurry, not to mention the edict, even if he didn't ask for a token.
Besides, Feng Yuan said that he wanted him to take it.
What Ning Kai thought in his heart was that if he could not fight and kill, he would try not to fight and kill.
If these 500 people die in battle, it will be his loss.
After all, they are all Bazhou people, and he can also ask for credit in front of Fan Jiangong in the future.
Ning Kai shook his head and said: "It happened suddenly, the king only gave an edict to this commander, and there was no edict in his body. ”
When the lieutenant heard this, he asked again: "Since this is the case, it is okay to have Wei Shuai's general order!"
Hearing this person mention Wei Tiangang, Ning Kai shook his head and said, "Wei Shuai's mansion is in the east of the city, do you say that this commander will go on a detour to ask Wei Shuai for orders?"
The lieutenant shook his head and said: "Commander Ning, you are also a person in the army, and you also know the truth that military orders are like mountains, with your mouth alone, I will not be able to hand over the West Gate to you, not that I will not give you face, but the duty of this general is to guard this city gate, if you come to this empty mouth and white teeth, I will transfer this gate, where is the military order?"
After speaking, he said in a low voice: "Cheer up the general, don't look at the crowd on the other side, but we have bows and arrows, shoot him a few rounds and it's over." ”
Ning Kai sneered: "So, you don't believe me Ning someone?"
After finishing speaking, he tilted his head slightly and said in a low voice: "Brothers, if you do it, do you have a way to break each other's bows and arrows?"
One of them said in a low voice: "Don't worry, my lord, our people have rattan armor on their backs, and the 'cone array' listed just now is to break their bows and arrows. ”
Ning Kai shook his head and said: "You don't need to worry about me, remember, this commander doesn't want to see anyone have something, the road, this commander is here to open it for you, people, you have to protect this commander." ”
Seeing that the opposite side had bent his bow and arrows, Ning Yan frowned.
It seems that he can only do it, otherwise the king and Vice Marshal Feng will come over after a while, if he hasn't taken the west gate, he will have no face to see the king again.
The captain on the other side had a bad feeling in his heart, and he shouted: "Commander Ning, do you still want to fight with me? Don't forget, this is in Ziyang City, not a place where you can go wild." ”
After speaking, he shouted in a low voice: "Ready!"
The bow has been drawn.
Without waiting for Ning Kai to speak, the people behind him had already begun to move.
"Be careful, adults!"
Ning Kai's sentence "save people" made the hearts of the five centurions move.
Ning Kai didn't look back, he took a deep breath and pulled out the long sword in his hand.
When the lieutenant saw Ning Kai draw his sword, he no longer hesitated, and shouted, "Shoot!"
Arrows are like flying locusts.
In the end, he is the general who guards the city gate, and his leader is very skilled.
Instead of shooting arrows at the same time, his men took turns shooting arrows.
In this way, the feather arrows that shot at Ning Kai's side would continue one after another.
Ning Kai held the sword in his right hand and the scabbard in his left hand, and his body moved, and he actually stepped forward to meet the feather arrow.
Rushing forward for more than ten steps, the arrow was already in front of him, Ning Kai jumped up, jumped high, waved his arms, and knocked down the feather arrows around his body.
Fortunately, the feather arrow on the opposite side was not shot at him alone, otherwise no matter how high his ability was, he would have been shot into a hedgehog.
The lieutenant took two steps back and shouted, "Shoot him, shoot him first!"
Ning Kai chuckled, the scabbard in his hand came out of his hand, and flew out, and several people were hit by the scabbard and fell to the ground.
After landing, Ning Kai did not move forward, but suddenly turned around and ran to the side.
The rain of arrows turned around and flew towards Ning Kai's side.
It's far easier to dodge an arrow than to meet it.
Ning Kai only relied on a few sharp changes in direction to let the feather arrow behind him fall short.
The lieutenant secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly shouted: "Ignore him, shoot in front, shoot ......"
His men were too late to shoot.
for the five hundred men had rushed before them.
Behind him is the doorway.
His men were constantly surrounded, step by step, and he was forced to retreat as well.
Retreat to the end, and others have been attached to the city gates.
With such a disparity in strength, even if he gave the order to resist, it would be useless.
Tonight's incident happened suddenly, and he didn't want to fight hard without the death order from the people above.
Struggling to squeeze forward, he shouted loudly: "Where is Commander Ning, Ben will have something to say to him!"
Ning Kai, who had already come to the city gate, shouted softly: "Stop, let this commander listen, what other rules does this lord have to tell this commander." ”
The lieutenant who finally squeezed in front of the people arched his hand to Ning Kai and said: "Xie Ning leads his subordinates to show mercy, we are all the king's courtiers, what do you have to say, how can there be a reason for your own people to do it with yourself, do you say this is the reason?"
Ning Qi sneered: "Who ordered the arrows? Those arrows, but they have been chasing this commander for a long time!"
The lieutenant smiled awkwardly and said, "Ning Commander is a god master, what is the mere feather arrow?"
Ning Kai raised his eyes and looked at him, and sneered: "This Commander's Divine Skill is world-shattering, that's the Commander's business, but it's not the reason for you to shoot me!"
After speaking, his face showed a fierce light, and as soon as he grabbed it with his right hand, he had already choked the lieutenant's neck and pinched it with both fingers.
"Click~"
It's the sound of a broken laryngeal bone.
The lieutenant's neck was crooked, and he was already dying.
Ning Kai let go of his hand and didn't look at the corpse that had fallen on the ground.
He took a few steps back and shouted at the soldiers who no longer had the will to fight: "I tell you that this commander does not like to kill, but if you resist, it can only be blamed on you for seeking death." ”
"You are just the death of a commander, and he died of disobedience to the king's orders, this commander knows that you are just acting on orders, and now that he is dead, you don't have to obey orders, give up resistance, this commander can not be blamed in the past. ”
Ning Kai waited for a moment.
This was followed by the sound of weapons falling to the ground.
Ning Kai beckoned the five centurions to him.
Previously, Ning Kai used his body to attract the opponent's arrows, and later saw Ning Kai strangle the captain, and the five centurions had already developed a sense of awe in their hearts.
Ning Kai pondered for a moment and said: "First of all, these people have all their weapons surrendered, and the commander will take them into the camp outside the city in a while, remember, don't treat them as prisoners." And when the king has gone out of the gates, you will send for them to be broken down. ”
"Demolished, Lord Ning, why did you tear down the city gate?"
Ning Kai frowned, and then said: "The city is full of Wei Shuai's men and horses, and we only have these few hundred people at the moment, if they send people to take the west gate again, can we hold it? ”
The man bowed his head and saluted, "It's still the adults who think about it!"
The corners of Ning Kai's mouth lifted.
Look, who dares to say that I have no one under Ning Kai?
Ning Kai then said to the two centurions: "You two each take a hundred people, open the city gate, line up left and right, and welcome the king out of the city!"
Then he said to the other two: "You two quickly take a hundred people to welcome the king and get into the car!"
Then he said to the last man, "Take a hundred men and bring them to the city, and then when the king is out of the city, then go out with him." ”
After giving the order, Ning Kai jumped and sat on top of the city, looking at the entire Ziyang City from afar.
