Chapter 101: Hanging Sadly

Let's say that Governor Hu set up a strategy of advancing and retreating, and it took five days for the Qiping people to train the soldiers, and there were already spies reporting to Huludao. The Japanese on the island asked for help from Oshima in the east, and a group of Japanese came in the lead, named Shushita Changchun, who was a first-class master in Japan. Knowing that the officers and soldiers were coming to attack Huludao, the Japanese invaders hurriedly built fortifications and planned to hold on for a long time.

General Qiping led six big boats, soon came to the side of Hulu Island, surrounded by cliffs, only there is a waterway in the west, which can lead to the island, there is a city wall on the waterway, there is a water gate under the city wall, you can put small boats in and out of the island. General Qi lined up the six big ships and bombarded the city gate with artillery. Here, the officers and soldiers rushed into the island in small boats, and the Qiping people stood in the small boats behind to supervise the battle.

Rushing into the island, pirates and pirates had already surrounded them, and the two sides fought for a while, the officers and soldiers chased the pirates and killed, and the pirates chased and killed the officers and men. Under the tree, Changchun, holding a Japanese knife, slashed five officers and soldiers in succession, and the Japanese knife turned into a bloody knife, rushing all the way to kill. The officers and soldiers knew that he was powerful and were defeated one after another, and General Qi knew that he could not stop it, so he had to let the officers and men jump into the boat and row to the outside of the island with all his might. He got on board the big ship and fled westward. The wouldn't chase after them. The pirates came back to repair the water gate.

General Qi stayed away from Huludao, counted the soldiers, and had three dead, twelve wounded, and nearly two hundred soldiers, who were able to fight, and the casualties of the other side could not be counted for a while, so he wrote a military intelligence report and sent a small boat to Governor Hu.

On the second day, General Qi encouraged his soldiers, reorganized the ships, rushed to Huludao again, and bombarded them with artillery, knocking down four pirates on the city wall, and the remaining pirates did not dare to show their faces again.

After a while, the city was not angry, and Changchun opened the water gate under the tree, and released four or five small boats to come out to fight a decisive battle with General Qi. The soldiers on the big ship here shot indiscriminately with strong bows, and even if Changchun under the tree had the ability to reach the sky, he couldn't approach it.

On the third day, General Qi blasted open the water gate again, led the soldiers to rush into the island, and the two sides fought for a while, lost the enemy, and retreated. This time there were casualties on both sides.

In this way, you come and go, General Qi has surrounded Huludao for half a month, and there is enough food and grass on the island, and he can't hold it. Half a month later, General Qi withdrew to the shore. In this battle of besieging the island, the Japanese did not dare to come to the land to rob for a while, which played the effect of Governor Hu's advance as retreat.

Don't talk about Zhejiang's anti-Japanese invasion, but say that after Leng Yuhu ate and drank, he rode on a horse and went west along the canal, and wanted to invite friends from Taihang Cottage to the southeast to fight against Japanese and get a good way out.

It was the hot summer weather, the wicker was draped, and the cicadas hissed. Leng Yuhu tore off his beard, restored his original appearance, rode his horse and whipped, and galloped along the canal, galloping like the wind. I didn't go far, and I saw a figure in the woods on the side of the road, and I was about to hang myself by the neck after putting up a strip of cloth.

Leng Yuhu jumped off the horse and walked quickly into the forest, only to hear the man mutter: "Beauty, beauty, only goodbye in the next life." As he spoke, he kicked his leg and hung there to fight for his life.

Leng Yuhu hurriedly stepped forward and carried the man upward. The man gasped, looked at the comer, and immediately burst into tears, and said, "You'd better let me die." ”

Leng Yuhu said: "Everyone wants to live, why do you want to die?"

The young man said, "I can't live anymore." ”

Leng Yuhu persuaded: "You come down first, make it clear, and then it's not too late to die." ”

The young man listened, pulled the strip of cloth, withdrew his head and neck, Leng Yuhu let go, and the young man sat on the ground. This young man was about twenty-four or five years old, of medium height, with bright eyes and bright teeth, white and clean, weak in writing, and he looked like a scholar.

Leng Yuhu asked, "What is your name, where are you from, what grievances do you have, and you have to die." ”

The scholar said, "My family lives in the city of Hangzhou. My name is Cao Weiyong, my grandfather was a county official, and then the family was in the middle of the road, my father died when I was very young, and my mother gave birth to a son. But I was stupid, I only took the exam, and in the future, I was obedient, and the second place fell to Sun Shan, and now I can't do anything, I can't do martial arts, I have no power to restrain the chicken, I have no way to make a living, and I will make the neighbors laugh in vain. What do you think I have left?"

Leng Yuhu asked, "You are dead, what should my mother do?"

That Cao Weiyong was silent and burst into tears.

Leng Yuhu sneered: "Before you died, you shouted: 'Beauty, beauty, only goodbye in the next life. 'What do you mean?'

Cao Weiyong's face turned red, but he lowered his head and said nothing.

Leng Yuhu said: "There is no grass at the end of the world. Man, big husband, why die for a woman. ”

Cao Weiyong muttered, "You don't know how beautiful she is?"

Leng Yuhu asked, "Who is she?

"I don't know what her name is?"

Leng Yuhu persuaded him: "Wouldn't it be a pity that you didn't even know her name, so you were martyred for her? You should at least let her know your infatuation." ”

Cao Weiyong said dejectedly: "I only know that her boyfriend's name is Wang Wufeng, he is a big hero, I can't compare to him, only death." ”

Leng Yuhu laughed and said, "Wang Wufeng, I know, his lover, I have also seen it, his name is Jin Hongping." She is very beautiful, but she is not the only beauty in the world. ”

"The beauties in Hangzhou can't compare to her. ”

Leng Yuhu said: "The world is big, and there are beauties everywhere. Outside Hangzhou, there are so many girls who are more beautiful than her. ”

Cao Weiyong said: "I don't believe it, there is something more beautiful than her." Even if you are right, there are many beautiful women in the world, but I am not good at it, and I have no chance with beautiful women. ”

This Cao Weiyong is determined to die for the beauty, but now the two are fighting back and forth, arguing about this beauty, which makes Cao Weiyong forget about martyrdom.

Leng Yuhu looked at Cao Weiyong, who was dejected, and saw that he had a well-proportioned figure, his eyes showed intelligence, and he might have the talent to practice martial arts, so he said: "You worship me as a teacher, I teach you swordsmanship, you will not become a hero, you will be favored by beautiful women." ”

Cao Weiyong asked, "Who is more powerful than Wang Wufeng?"

Leng Yuhu said: "Brother Feng and I are good brothers, and the martial arts of the two should be similar." ”

Cao Weiyong said happily: "Then I will worship you as a teacher." ”

Leng Yuhu said: "But I don't want to teach you." ”

"Why?"

Leng Yuhu said: "We learn swordsmanship in order to serve the country and save the people, hoe violence and peace, you learn swordsmanship just to win the hearts of beautiful women, so I can't teach you." ”

Cao Weiyong smiled: "I am a scholar, I still understand this truth, and please rest assured Master." ”

"Okay. I'll take you as an apprentice. ”

Cao Weiyong was very happy, but said worriedly: "I'm in my twenties, is it too late to learn swords?"

Leng Yuhu said: "As long as you study hard, it will never be too late." ”

Cao Weiyong was overjoyed, lay on the ground, and kowtowed three times to Leng Yuhu, which can be regarded as an apprentice.

Leng Yuhu said: "The teacher's name is Zhao Yuhu, and you are the tenth generation disciple of the Wudang Sword Sect." ”

Cao Weiyong was full of joy, because the Wudang Sword Sect was already famous at this time. Leng Yuhu said: "I have something to go to Henan and Hebei, so I can only teach you the key to the Liangyi swordsmanship, and you can understand it slowly." After we separate, you can go to the Huancui Garden in the city to find Zhang Jinhua and his wife, and follow them to fight against the Japanese, are you willing?"

Cao Weiyong said: "The Japanese invaded my China, burned and looted along the coast, I can't wait to kill the Japanese to save the people, how can I not go?"

Leng Yuhu said: "Okay, I'll pass the sword trick to you now." ”

Leng Yuhu recited the Wudang Liangyi Sword Recipe twice, Cao Weiyong is a person who reads books, and he has long memorized it. Leng Yuhu said in his heart: "I am not mistaken, he is a smart person. ”

Leng Yuhu said: "I passed on the sword technique to you, and after you go back, figure it out with your heart." ”

After the words were said, the two separated. Cao Weiyong entered the city, and Leng Yuhu continued to come northwest.
