Chapter 229: The curtain opens
The day is about to break, someone comes in to pass through, Hu Shiwei waited for the people to go out, got up, hung his head, greeted Wei Zhan and said: "Young master, the plan to restore the country, facing the south and turning the back to the north, began in the present dynasty." Let's go!"
Wei Zhan's eyebrows were in a trance, and he said in his heart, what kind of drama is this, and he almost rushed out of his mouth: Aiqing, don't be polite.
Hu Shiwei issued an order to gather people and horses, and after a while, the two of them went out of Nanzhen Fusi, got on their horses, and led the brigade of embroidered guards to gallop outside the city.
Soon after, they came to a valley surrounded by mountains on the outskirts of the city, where more than 2,000 martial arts people were concentrated, and there were dozens of tent camps set up temporarily.
Looking down from the halfway up the mountain, the mountain depression was brightly lit and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the soldiers guarding were fighting with the martial arts heroes who were scattered and fleeing.
Hu Shiwei didn't care about the life and death of these people anyway and whether they really took the opportunity to escape, pretended to give orders to command the chaos, and quickly mobilized hundreds of embroidered guards who protected King Jikun of Jianjun to come to assist on the grounds of lack of manpower.
When the reinforcements arrived, in the darkest section before dawn, seeing that the riot had basically subsided, Hu Shiwei arranged for someone to clean up the mess and clean up the aftermath, and said to Wei Zhanmei: "It's almost over, the yellow finch can go." After speaking, he ordered a hundred embroidered guards, and took Wei Zhanmei, Zhang Hulei, Tong Xiang and others to a peak.
The father-in-law of Tu Haitu in the inner court of Qingchuan attaches great importance to the safety of Ji Kun, the king of Jianjun, who went deep into Chaohua, although Ji Kun went out of the city to personally sit in the town in order to recruit the affairs of the Chaohua Wulin sect, but his whereabouts and residence are uncertain, and he changes places every day, and today's camp is set up on a flat ground in the leeward of the north peak.
After Hu Shiwei and his entourage climbed over the top of the mountain and came down, they could vaguely see many figures in the mountains in the distance, and the sound of swords and guns clashing could be heard in the night.
It's done, after the embroidered guards left, it seems that Zuo Qiu Ming and the people of Qingtang in the fast snow have already entered the camp, and the two sides are fighting fiercely.
Indeed, as Hu Shiwei expected, Zuoqiu Ming personally led the Qingtang masters to attack Ji Kun's camp at night when the snow was fast, and the two sides had been fighting for a long time.
Zuo Qiu Ming brought all the elite soldiers and strong generals of Qingtang when the snow was fast, but Tu Hai was not weak here, there were many of the eight King Kong pro-entourage and the eighteen bronze men of the inner court on the Jianjun Palace, as well as dozens of accompanying warriors, although after learning that there was a riot, after the embroidered guards were transferred, Zuo Qiu Ming took advantage of the situation and was caught off guard, but he still managed to stabilize his position and wait for help.
At this moment, Tu Hai, the number one master beside Ji Kun, is fighting against Zuo Qiu Ming, the master of Qingtang Hall in the fast snow, these two people are all masters of stick skills, one is a cooked copper stick, the other is a Qi Mei stick, and Luan Feng Zhenren is standing with a long sword and an old man with a gun is killing inseparable.
Not far away, Ji Kun, the king of Jianjun, who was sparse in martial arts, was surrounded by the Eight King Kongs and the Eighteen Bronze Figures, and beside him was the princess Ji Yu.
Wei Zhanmei originally thought that Ji Yu would go to the depths of the hundred flowers to find him as promised after dawn, so he would not appear here, but Luan Feng Zhenren was restless a few days ago, and after taking a hexagram, he felt that it would not be peaceful tonight, so Ji Kun gathered all the guards around him and forced Ji Yu not to go out.
At this time, Ji Kun's side saw that the reinforcements were delayed, and the manpower of both sides had suffered a lot of losses, and they had already begun to retreat down the mountain while fighting.
The sky was slightly bright, Hu Shiwei observed for a while, and saw that although there were casualties on both sides, the balance of strength was not huge, and Tu Hai and the others had the intention of retreating and fleeing. He pondered for a moment, made up his mind to help Tu Hai exterminate Zuo Qiu Ming and Kuaixue Shi Qingtang, and with a move, he led everyone to rush down to the rescue.
Just halfway through, a sentry suddenly appeared in the spur to block the way.
It turned out that Zuo Qiu Ming, the head hall master, ventured into the hinterland of Chaohua to assassinate Ji Kun, and he also made a thorough plan after careful consideration.
On the one hand, Zuo Qiu Ming invited strong reinforcements, and the old man who was fighting against Luan Feng Zhenren was Yan Ge Wai, the big boss of Yan Jiazhai Shenlong, and the two sides had been cooperating on the matter of military salaries, and Yan Ge Wai informed his allies Fu Guo Hoe Traitor Alliance and King Nanping, and these two righteous armies sent Ji Xiang and Ye Qianqian who happened to be active nearby to participate in this matter.
On the other hand, Zuo Qiu Ming specially left the young hall master Wei Putian to meet Ji Makeup and Ye Qianqian with a group of people to answer outside, so that whether it is a retreat after a success or an escape after a defeat, they are more sure, even if they face the worst situation, with Wei Putian here, Qingtang will also have successors when the snow is fast.
Wei Putian has been lying in ambush in the shadows, originally saw that the two sides were evenly matched and the other party had the intention of retreating, and was about to lead the reserve team to appear, so that he could give the opponent a heavy blow after joining forces, but he didn't want to kill halfway to bite the gold, and the enemy's reinforcements also arrived, so he came out to block.
Hu Shiwei recognized that the leader was Wei Putian, who was wanted by the imperial court, and his face remained unchanged, and he ordered: "Zhang Hulei and Tong Xiang, you two will take the embroidered clothes and guards of the headquarters to meet the enemy, and I will lead people to rescue Father-in-law Tu." ”
Then he turned to Wei Zhan Mei again, and said in his ear: "Zhan Mei, this young hall master Wei Putian will be handed over to you, remember what I said before, this person must be killed on the spot to prevent future troubles." In this way, as soon as Zuo Qiu Ming and his descendants die, when the snow is about to snow, the dragons of Qingtang will be ownerless, and they will inevitably fall into my hands, and great things can be accomplished, understand?"
Wei Zhanmei and Wei Putian have dealt with each other and have already made a feud, so they don't have a good impression of this person, so they naturally accept it.
Hu Shiwei led some people to take the road away, and Wei Zhanmei and others greeted him.
The sky was brighter, Wei Zhanmei and Wei Putian's team saw each other, but they tacitly didn't take a look, Wei Zhanmei directly found Wei Putian.
Wei Putian also recognized Wei Zhanmei, the revenge of the treasure in the ancient tomb happened to be solved together, not much to say, the two of them shot directly, and the others also fought together.
Wei Zhanmei's internal strength rose sharply at this time, and he only fought for three or five rounds, and he was not an opponent last time, and he immediately gained the upper hand, and Wei Putian, who was holding a short hook in a handguard, retreated one after another.
Wei Putian was shocked in his heart, Wei Zhanmei's growth in skill in a short period of time made him extremely frustrated, at this moment, time was pressing, and staying outside the Yingdu City would be more risky, so he made up his mind to release a special move to defeat the enemy.
Turning around and leaving, Wei Putian put away his double hooks, raised his hands continuously, and the silver needle flew into Wei Zhan's eyebrows, and when the snow was fast, Qingtang's "wind and rain without sunny needles".
Wei Zhanmei knew in the ancient tomb that Wei Putian was also an expert in hidden weapons, so he naturally took precautions and also fought back with steel nails.
After a round of shooting, both of them were unharmed, but Wei Zhanmei's heart moved and he was suspicious.
At that time, in the ancient tomb, he felt that Wei Putian's hook technique was very similar to his white slashing knife method, and the needle method was also familiar, and the nine kinds of apricot blossom spring rain life-killing nail method passed down to his family had the same effect, why did this happen?
After a little hesitation, I saw Wei Putian in front of him stopping, looking back, shortening, and his left and right shoulders quickly shrugged up and down, and at the same time, he bent his arm and turned his hand, and a small black needle as black as ink and no brilliance burst out.
In his mind, like a bright light flashing in the dark night, Wei Zhanmei suddenly had a bold idea - this Wei Putian must have a great relationship with himself, and even the two of them are ......
First, this man is so proficient in hooking and stitching that it can be said to be the same thing.
Second, if the hook method and the needle method are only similar, the set of movements of the needle just now is clearly the standard posture of the unique stunt "a swarm of plum bees in the mountains" that he rarely uses.
According to Hu Shiwei, his knife and nail techniques are only qualified to practice among the children of the Hongxing royal family, and even Hu Shiwei instructed him according to the secret book handed down by his father, but he did not dare and did not practice it himself.
And in order to hide people's eyes, Wei Zhan Mei changed the needle with a nail, and gave the new name of the apricot blossom spring rain nail.
This "swarm of plum bees in the mountains" is a secret technique in the hidden weapon acupuncture method, which not only requires internal force cultivation, but also has extremely special and complex methods, and Wei Zhanmei has only learned it when he is an adult.
At the same time, the material of the black needles issued is also extremely scarce, and the method of making it is said to have been lost, and Wei Zhanmei only had thirty or thirty pieces left in hand after he used it to shoot the embroidered clothes guard and Bai Xiaosheng who protected Bai Xiaosheng.
Don't look at this black needle is as small as cow hair, but extremely heavy, see the flesh that is, and see the blood that sinks, with skillful injection into the human body will quickly puncture the flesh and bones and fall, not only can penetrate and hurt the human organs, the natural substances contained in it are still difficult to detect the poison, the one can not be cured, it will die in a moment, the black needle finally penetrates the body and haunts the ground, there is no trace.
Third, this Wei Putian's surname is Wei, which is the surname of Hongxingguo, and his master Zuo Qiu Ming is one of the six people including Hu Shiwei, so Wei Putian's identity seems to be about to come out, is he also a descendant of the Hongxing Imperial Family? Is Wei Zhanmei a blood relationship of the same generation? Is it a brother or cousin, or is Zuo Qiu Ming teaching this set of royal secret techniques to an outsider?
Hu Shiwei should have been aware of the relationship, so why didn't he say it? Why did he kill Wei Putian himself? For his own sake, he destroyed Zuo Qiu Ming and his descendants who had dissenting intentions, and removed the obstacles to the restoration of the monarch?
It's a long story, this flurry of thoughts actually only flashed in Wei Zhanmei's heart, and Wei Putian's black needle had already been sent.
Wei Zhanmei's current skill is not a little higher than Wei Putian, and he is familiar with the strength, direction and route of the black needle, and when he thinks about it, he sends out his "swarm of plum bees in the mountains" exactly the same way, and knocks down Wei Putian's black needle.
Wei Putian was stunned.
Wei Zhanmei was already merciful to his subordinates, otherwise if he fought back strongly, Wei Putian would die under the needle, and he still wanted to understand the relationship with Wei Putian, so he just stepped forward and stunned the other party with a palm.
Wei Putian was captured, and his subordinates immediately panicked, and were scattered by Zhang Hulei and other embroidered guards.
The sky was white, Wei Zhan raised his eyebrows and looked down, and the three parties below had already separated into layers and opened up the distance:
Tu Hai, Luan Feng Zhenren, Zuo Qiu Ming, and an old man with a gun were in front of the four of them, fighting and walking.
A large distance behind was a large number of Qingchuan guards and the people of Qingtang when the snow was fast, and the people of Qingtang when the snow was fast had already seen the embroidered guards who came to the rescue, and the formation began to scatter.
The embroidered guards of Nanzhen Fusi were catching up behind, and Hu Shiwei and the four people around him broke away from the team, and used light skills to take a shortcut from the difficult pile of rocks and plug it at high speed.
Wait, wait, the person in fancy clothes near the four of Tu Hai should be Ji Kun, the king of Jianjun, who is being dragged and fast. The person pulling him is, that's Ji Yu!
Why wasn't she in town? Oops!
Wei Zhanmei was about to rush over, Ji Xuanjiao and Ye Qianqian came to his side, and they only had time to look at each other, and when Wei Zhanmei and Ye Qianqian exchanged a look, Zhang Hulei and Tong Xiang chased after him.
Wei Zhanmei hurriedly said: "Zhang Qianhu, these two people are my own people, I want to go with them to help the big pavilion leader, please lead someone to chase and kill Kuaixue Shiqingtang." ”
Without waiting for Zhang Hulei to answer, he lifted Wei Putian with one hand, and Ji Makeup and Ye Qiqian had already rushed out like arrows from the string.
The three of them did a good job, and at this time, the sky was getting brighter and they could see the terrain clearly, so they walked straight to Tu Hai and the others at the front.
Zhang Hulei and the others didn't have time to speak, and saw Wei Zhanmei's three or five moves to take down the power of the young hall master Wei Putian, and then led the crowd to cover up and kill.
There was a small abandoned and dilapidated temple at the foot of the mountain, and the four Tu Hai and the Ji brothers and sisters took the lead in breaking in.
Hu Shiwei, who followed one after another, stopped at the gate of the temple, looked back at the situation, and shouted to Zhang Hulei in the distance: "Zhang Hulei, you lead people to surround and kill Kuaixue Shiqingtang, and then set up defenses around the temple, no one is allowed to enter without my order." ”
After speaking, he entered the small temple with the four people around him.
Then it was Wei Zhanmei who arrived, and he carried Wei Putian and Ye Ji and the two daughters to follow in.
The guards of the brigade of embroidered clothes and Ji Kun relied on the advantage of numbers to quickly defeat the men and horses of Qingtang when the snow was fast.
Zhang Hulei obeyed Hu Shiwei's orders, he surrounded the small temple, and refused the request of the Qingchuan people to enter the temple, the Qingchuan guards suffered a lot of casualties, and they were tired after fighting for a long time, so they had to wait outside the temple, not to mention.
This ruined temple is not big, and only one main hall in it is quite spacious.
After the first batch of six people entered the hall, Zuo Qiu Ming noticed that Hu Shiwei was coming, he and Yan Ge cried and pegged Tu Hai and Luan Feng Zhenren, Tu Hai couldn't get out, and asked Ji Yu to quickly take Ji Kun to escape through the back door while resisting.
At this time, Hu Shiwei and the other five people entered the hall.
Tu Hai immediately shouted: "Great Pavilion Leader, you came just in time, this person is Zuo Qiu Ming, the head of the Qingtang Hall when the snow is fast, help our family capture him, and make a great contribution to you!"
Zuo Qiu Ming was in good spirits, his beard was gray, and he waved a cooked copper stick, and he also laughed and said: "It's good to come! Brother Hu, help me kill this old man together, take the king of Jianjun, you don't have to hide your head and shrink your tail to do what the big pavilion leader is, with us as the leader, and unite the eighteenth road Fengyan to send troops together, and great things can be done." ”
Just when Tu Hai was stunned for a moment, Hu Shiwei approached with a slight smile, and said at the same time: "Master Zuo, you don't come to sow discord, and the leader of this pavilion is the minister of Qingchuan." Today is your time of death!"
As soon as the words fell, his face turned pale, and Sen Ran said, "Kill!"
