Chapter 44: Fresh clothes and angry horses, righteous boys

The two of them knew that this codex was nothing extraordinary, so they uneasily opened the knot and faced four golden seal characters: "Seven Spirits Divine Skill".

"Seven Spirits Divine Skill? Tianzong muttered quietly.

Wu Ji's brain turned quickly, and he said with a solemn expression: "The supreme internal strength of our One Sword Sect is called 'Qiyao Divine Skill', and the ancients called the sun 'Yao' and the moon 'spirit'. Since this exercise is called the 'Seven Spirits', it must be inextricably linked with the master. ”

Tianzong was suspicious: "Then why have you never heard this secret book mentioned by your uncles?"

Yan Wuzhi shook his head, after all, they were too young, how could they know this, they couldn't figure it out for a while, and said: "Don't worry about these for now, take them back to the master to see that naturally everything understands." ”

Yan Tian frowned and said, "Such an unfathomable martial arts cheat, or... Let's take a look?"

"No!"

He scolded indefinitely: "The puppet scroll of the divine machine was opened by you and me unintentionally, even if you read it, the sect master can't say anything, but this "Seven Spirits Divine Skill" is not good, you and I know that it is related to the sect, and it is not good to peek at it privately." ”

Tianzong smiled, and put this codex into his arms, in fact, he just said it casually, the rules of the One Sword Sect are very strict, and it is taboo to learn martial arts secretly.

After the three of them tied up the deer and returned to Taihe City, they rushed straight to the palace, and it was a coincidence that they happened to meet Ning Jia'er at the gate of the Ge Luofeng Palace.

After greeting her indefinitely, he asked her, "Has the princess ever seen Mr. Meng today?"

"Huh?" Ning Jia'er seemed to be a little absent-minded.

Today is the day of the regular meeting of the chiefs of the clans, and yesterday I heard that he went to Mengshechuan, and I have never seen him come back. ”

Wuji wondered in his heart: "Didn't come back, then where could he go in a hurry last night? Maybe he went to settle accounts with Ge Wuen...", and immediately smiled: "We have urgent business to see the king, is he in the palace?"

Ning Jia'er's expression was still a little unnatural, she was not as cheerful as before, and she was a little twisted, she lowered her head and said: "I don't know, I am also about to go to my father, you guys....can go with me." ”

Since announcing the relationship in public at the Torch Festival, I always feel weird when I see each other indefinitely, she is a daughter after all, although the two are not really in love, but they are inevitably ashamed. Ning Jiaer always blushed all the way and followed behind them with his head down.

Several people successfully met Ge Luofeng, and after explaining the situation indefinitely, King Nanzhao was surprisingly calm, which was very unexpected to them.

After all, Ge Luofeng is the male master, how can he not know that Ge Wuen has always harbored evil intentions, and why he doesn't want to kill him quickly, but he is forced by the pressure of all parties and has no way to start, and now Ge Wuen himself has revealed his fox tail, and in the depths of Ge Luofeng's heart, there are still some surprises.

Yan Wuqi stepped forward and said: "The night before yesterday, Brother Feng went to Jianqiang alone to investigate the truth, and the usurpation of Ge Wuen has been planned for a long time, and Brother Feng's current situation must be extremely dangerous, and I ask the king to send troops to rescue him immediately." ”

"The little hero is right!" Since the Torch Festival, Ge Luofeng's good impression of Wuji has doubled, and now that he has exposed Ge Wuen's conspiracy, he naturally takes him even more seriously.

"This king will hand over the hand-picked 3,000 warriors to the little hero, and my most trusted commander will also hand it over to you, please be sure to bring my son back safely. ”

Wuji clasped his hands into fists: "I am willing to go to the aid of Prince Feng." ”

"I'll go too!"

"I'll go too!"

Ning Jia'er and Yan Tianzong said in unison, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Ge Luofeng wanted to refuse, her daughter is a dignified princess of Baihua, how can such a thing of killing the enemy be child's play, but after thinking about it, since her daughter has already decided that the young man in front of her is her husband, it is not a good thing to give them more time to get along, Yan Wuji's martial arts and intelligence He has also seen it, and it is still okay to protect his daughter's safety.

Although Ge Luofeng agreed, he had something to say, and he whispered to Yan Tianzong: "The ghost party's injuries have not healed, and they need to be guarded, so it is safer in Taihe City." ”

The distinction between the more important and the more important is clear, and he also whispered to pay attention to safety indefinitely, and wait for him to come back here.

Due to the urgency of the matter, no one delayed, King Nanzhao personally sent his daughter and Yan Wuji out of the city, took his hand before leaving, and even changed the title, saying: "Yan Lang is not a citizen of our country, there is no need to kill the enemy to win this trip, as long as you can bring my son back safely, this king will greatly accept your favor, and when you return triumphantly, I will personally officiate the wedding for you." ”

Hearing this, Ning Jia'er was ashamed and ashamed for a while, and in a panic, she looked at each other with Wuji, her eyes collided, and she couldn't help but be moved, and the deer collided.

"I... I... Hey, what is this!" Yan Wuzhi couldn't tell even if he had a hundred mouths.

Wuji wanted to directly pick out and tell King Nanzhao that he and Princess Baihua were just acting, but thinking that there were many people here, if there was a showdown at this time, it would definitely be detrimental to Princess Baihua's reputation, so he endured it again.

After getting on the horse, he hugged his fists at Ge Luofeng and said: "Please also ask the king to immediately arrest Ge Wuen and blame him to prevent future troubles." ”

Ge Luofeng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Yan Lang, everything is under the control of this king." ”

But on the other hand, before everyone left the city, Ge Luofeng had sent guards to arrest Ge Wuen and the Tubo envoys, and when the guards arrived, whether it was the post house or Ge Wuen's palace, it had already been empty, and there was no trace, although Ge Luofeng was angry when he heard the news, he was not flustered, he had roughly guessed where Ge Wuen went.

Yaozhou City, the Tang Dynasty and the southwest of the ethnic groups to come and go, originally belonged to the Tang Dynasty, is the station of Yunnan Taishou, a year ago Nanzhao and the Tang Dynasty for the first time to meet each other, Ge Luofeng to avenge his wife, led the army to capture Yaozhou, after a year the two countries often have signs of fighting again, in order to prevent the Tang army from counterattacking, Ge Luofeng stationed 20,000 troops here, and all are the elite of Nanzhao.

Although Ge Wuen has fled, but he has not dispelled the heart of rebellion, if he can preemptively control Yaocheng, he and Ge Luofeng's game, who wins and who loses is not yet known, so Ge Luofeng expected that he would go to Yaocheng.

After sending Wuji and Ning Jia'er off, Ge Luofeng also immediately led the army eastward to Yaocheng.

Ning Jia'er and Wuji they traveled for two days, it is considered to be deep into the hinterland of Jianqiang, they all say that a mountain has four seasons, ten miles of different days, near Taihe City or birds and flowers, but there are snowflakes here, the Sichuan-Tibet region is sparsely populated, Jianqiang is not a city, at most it is a pass, there are still more than 30 miles away from it, and he ordered everyone to stop and camp, the situation of Jianqiang is unknown, he did not dare to rush forward, so he first sent scouts to investigate.

An hour later, the scouts returned to camp, and by this time it was completely dark.

"The prince led two hundred Jianqiang defenders to defend the walled city, most of them were wounded, and the Tibetans attacked several times during the day without success, and now the whole walled city is completely blocked. One of the scouts reported.

"How many thieves are there now?" asked the commander sent by Ge Luofeng.

"There are more than 4,000 people, to say the least. ”

Wuji was deeply surprised and said, "Are you sure there are more than 4,000 people?"

"It's true!"

Wu Ji said again: "That's not right! Ai Kexun clearly said that there were only 3,000 Tibetan soldiers, and the rest were all women and children, so why did the number increase instead of decreasing?"

The spy replied, "Nearly half of the soldiers are wearing our clothes. ”

Hearing him say this, the commander scolded in a broken Chinese dialect: "His grandmother's! These soft bones have betrayed the king and become the lackeys of Ge Wuen!"

The commander of the thousand is named Meng Sheng, and he is a bearded man with a quick temper.

Ning Jia'er was worried about her brother's danger, and said impatiently: "Don't wait, let's rush over to save my brother immediately." Seeing that the princess had already spoken, Meng Sheng immediately charged the whole army, and as soon as he got together, he was stopped by indefinitely.

"The general is slow! The thief army is overwhelming, and it is waiting for work, we can't fight hard with it, if you fight like this, even if you win, it will be a miserable victory, there is no need to waste the lives of these many soldiers in vain. ”

Meng Sheng had been on the battlefield for a long time and knew that Wu Ji was right, but there was no other way at the moment, so he stomped his feet and sighed: "Are we just watching the prince being trapped like this?"

Wuji smiled slightly: "I just asked you to wait a little longer, and I didn't say that I wouldn't save Brother Feng." ”

The man somehow, looking at the indefinite period with straight eyebrows, shouted, "Could it be that you can wait for reinforcements to come again?"

"Don't be impatient, general, you just need to give orders to go down, except for the night watchman, the rest of the soldiers rest in peace, and go with me to break the enemy at five in the morning, and each of them prepare a bundle of dry branches and a roll of horseshoe cloth. ”

Looking at the milky hairy boy in front of him who looked complacent, Meng Sheng hated or scolded either, so he turned his head to look at Ning Jia'er, waiting for her to make an idea.

Ning Jia'er said firmly: "Do what Brother Yan said, I believe him!" Meng Sheng muttered in the Nanzhao dialect: "If you don't fight at this time, you have to get up in the middle of the night and do something!" Although he was reluctant, he still went down to arrange it.

At the beginning of Yin, the fifth watch, fog.

This time is the time when people are most likely to get sleepy, and the snoring in the Tubo barracks surrounding Jianqiang is everywhere, and even the night watchmen are napping.

The three thousand Nanzhao soldiers were all on standby, and the young Yan stood in front of the team with the reins in his arms, and ordered: "All the horsetails are tied with dry firewood, and then lit!"

"Where's the horse's hooves, are you wrapped up now?" Meng Sheng asked him.

"No!"

When everyone was ready, Yan Wuji yelled and rushed out first.

"Hey!"

"Whew!"

The Nanzhao warriors shouted the local charge slogan in their mouths, and followed with the momentum of thunder, and here was a wide canyon, with a great echo, and the sound of horses' hooves and shouts became one.

The Tubo soldiers who got up in a panic saw that the fog was hazy outside, and they could not see how many enemies there were, nor did they know from which direction they came, only the fire in the sky mixed with all kinds of rushing and killing roars.

Yan Wuzhi relieved the siege of Jianqiang without spending a single soldier!
