Chapter XI
More than half a month on horseback. In the past half a month, Zhang Bufu's mind has been on the matter of cultivating the qi machine, and with tireless efforts, he successfully collected another qi machine into the body. I discerned the direction, and at this time it was at the junction of Jiaping County and Changhe County.
In recent days, Zhang Bufu keenly felt that someone seemed to be eyeing him, and he was relieved after a little calculation in his heart, it was estimated that he was from Yudingmen. Zhang Bufu didn't care, let them keep an eye on him, just lack of people to try his skills behind the Qi Cultivation Machine, Yudingmen's move was very much in line with his heart.
Tan Tianhua, following Xu Wenyao's death, took over the position of the head of the Jiaping County Branch. Two days ago, he suddenly received a report from his subordinates that Wanyang had been found in the county.
"Is the news true?" Tan Tianhua asked.
Someone immediately replied, "It should be true, the person who reported it is named Liu Qingsheng, and he is a disciple who participated in the previous war." ”
Tan Tianhua's brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape, it stands to reason that after the battle of Wanyang, when he retreated to Tongzhou, how could he appear in Jiaping County again after two months. Do you really think that you are the courage of Wanfu Mo Kai, and you still want to step on the Yuding Gate again and shake his name with your feet?
Tan Tianhua thought in his heart, "Aren't young people afraid of death now?"
Even if you pinch soft persimmons, you have to pick at least them.
Tan Tianhua was cautious, and in view of Zhang Bufu's record in killing Xu Wenyao, he did not rush to intercept it, but reported the news to the sect. When Hu Chengren, the owner of the door, received the report, his first reaction was to verify it, and after getting the accurate answer below, he frowned and thought deeply.
"This kind of thing is caught off guard once, with Wei Jihong's temperament, I will never come back a second time when my Yuding Sect is on guard. And Wei Jihong is in the limelight because of this matter, and he has recently been taking the opportunity to integrate forces in Tongzhou, and it is impossible to separate. This Wan Yang, could it be that he tasted the sweetness, and when Wei Jihong couldn't pull away, he secretly came over?"
Hu Chengren quickly analyzed in his heart, Dongtong is adjacent for two weeks, Hu Chengren has a deep understanding of Wei Jihong's temperament for many years, and eating back grass is not like Wei Jihong's style. And the reputation has been reached, and then come over and fight hard, it seems that there is nothing to be done, if you want to come to a drama of the river dragon suppressing the head snake again, Yudingmen will never agree, I am afraid that this time this river dragon will have to stay in Dongzhou.
Hu Chengren asked, "Where is Wanyang in Jiaping County at this time?"
Someone at the bottom of the steps answered, "At the junction of Jiaping County and Changhe County, looking at its route, it will enter Changhe County in the near future." ”
Hu Chengren thought for a moment and said, "Find out your whereabouts clearly, let Tan Tianhua and Tian Junhao prepare their manpower, and do it once their whereabouts are confirmed." ”
As he spoke, Hu Chengren turned his head and said to Duan Yuande, the deputy door master on the left-hand side, "Yuande, although Wei Jihong is not here this time, you still have to make a trip in person, so make sure that this matter is foolproof." If you have a chance, you can capture them alive, and if you don't have a chance, kill them. ”
Duan Yuande hugged his fists and said, "Obey the orders of the door master." ”
Hu Chengren nodded, he didn't know why, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
....................................
Jiaping County is prosperous, and Changhe County is mountainous. There are often caravans from Jiaping to purchase goods and transport them to Changhe to sell, and then from Changhe to receive all kinds of wild game in the mountains back to Jiaping, over time, gradually formed a trade route.
A caravan was walking down the road at the moment, five full wagons, all loaded with goods to be transported to the Chang River. Jiaping to Changhe is not far away, and the road is peaceful, there is no danger of banditry, so the five full carriages came down this way, except for the boss, there were only four entourage.
The owner of the caravan is a slightly old middle-aged man, surnamed He, according to his own words, because he was injured when he walked the rivers and lakes in his early years, he should have been in the prime of life, but his health was deteriorating, and he had no choice but to make a living, so he used the savings saved for many years to form a small caravan and walked this trade route from Jiaping to Changhe.
Beside him, a young man with a gun on his back asked, "Brother He, it is said that the road is peaceful, but what if there are really bandits?"
The slightly old-fashioned boss surnamed He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have walked this trade route countless times, since Yudingmen integrated the Jianghu forces in Dongzhou, the entire Dongzhou has been a lot more peaceful, and how can any bandits dare to run rampant here,"
The young man with the gun on his back said when he heard this, "Brother He, has Yudingmen's reputation in Dongzhou always been very good?"
The boss surnamed He said with a smile, "Brother Zhang, there are many people in the younger generation who are saying that Yudingmen is not good or bad, in the final analysis, it is just for the sake of the upper position, what is the truth, in fact, everyone is clear in their hearts." ”
The young man with the gun on his back nodded and said no more.
The young man was Zhang Bufu, and he met this caravan on the road, and he was bored for some time, so he stepped forward and walked some distance.
As he was walking, Zhang Bufu's ears suddenly moved slightly, he turned his head to look in one direction, and then looked in the opposite direction, then turned around and said, "Brother He, I still have to wait for someone here, and I can't accompany Brother He to Changhe County." ”
The boss surnamed He hugged his fists and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll wait here." ”
Zhang Bufu tightened the reins, stopped in place, and hugged his fists, "Good go." ”
The caravan moved forward slowly, Zhang Bufu took off the barrel of the gun, took off the gun head on his waist and put it on it, slightly agitated the qi machine in his body, and the robe around his body suddenly became windless.
Not long after, the sound of dense horses' hooves gradually sounded in the two directions that Zhang Bufu had just seen, and a team of men and horses rushed on both sides, forming a pincer attack, trapping Zhang Bufu in the middle. Zhang Bufu tugged at the reins slightly, sat down and the horse's hooves suddenly took off, Herod neighed, and Zhang Bufu grabbed the gun with one arm, coldly looking at the momentum of the flanking attack coming from both sides, the robe around was agitated, the face was solemn, and he was not angry and arrogant.
In one of the teams, Duan Yuande was riding with Tan Tianhua. Duan Yuande looked at the person and horse in front of him from afar, turned his head and asked, "Is that him?"
Tan Tianhua hadn't seen Zhang Bufu's appearance, so he didn't dare to be sure, so he turned around and greeted Liu Qingsheng among the people in the rear. Liu Qingsheng said that he was on the ground, and his legs caught up with the horse's belly, Tan Tianhua pointed at Zhang Bufu and asked, "Is it him?"
Liu Qingsheng squinted and said, "Yes, there is no doubt about it." ”
Duan Yuande nodded and said, "We will act according to the original plan later, and we don't need to talk about morality to deal with such thieves, we can just rush and kill on both sides." ”
"Understood. Tan Tianhua replied. Immediately drew his sword out of the sheath and raised it high, and when Tian Junhao, the branch master on the other side, saw this, he also drew his sword out of the sheath and raised it above his head to show that he understood.
Afterwards, more than a dozen horsemen held their respective weapons in their hands and rode their horses to kill Zhang Bufu in the middle position.
Obviously, there is a dead hall master who has lost face, and Yudingmen is ready to hold this cross-river dragon in one go this time. Duan Yuande's move is an old move, whether to capture alive or kill on the spot, this question does not need to be brainless, and it will be clear after a round of killing.
Zhang Bufu looked at both sides, thinking that he would definitely have to say two sentences before starting the fight, but he unexpectedly found that everyone in Yudingmen didn't seem to have the intention of stopping.
"Damn, people start fighting when they don't agree with each other, and this battle doesn't even give a chance to speak. ”
Zhang Bufu scolded secretly, the people and horses on both sides were caught back and forth, and he was not so swollen that he thought he could cope with this kind of scene, so he immediately turned the horse's head and quickly drove the horse to the other side, leaving the original position where he would be attacked by the people and horses on both sides of the Yuding Gate.
Duan Yuande sneered in his heart, it is not enough to get cheap once, I want to come back a second time, this time there is no Wei Jihong to suppress the formation, I don't know what other waves you can make, Duan Yuande thought in his heart, the reputation that he took away from Yuding Gate last time will be returned today.
"Chase!" Duan Yuande shouted, and the people on both sides immediately adjusted their positions and merged into one, and continued to kill Zhang Bufu.
Ahead, Zhang Bufu pulled out a distance, and when the people and horses at the Yuding Gate converged and could no longer form a pinching attack, he turned the horse's head again, and the qi machine in his body was rapidly agitated, holding a gun in his hand, and his legs clamped the horse's belly fiercely.
The first to bear the brunt was Duan Yuande, holding the knife in both hands and slashing Huashan obliquely, which can be described as menacing, but the knife in his hand just collided with Zhang Bufu's spear, Duan Yuande's arms were instantly numb, the spear was so strong that even the knife in his hand was shocked and almost got out of his hand, fortunately, Zhang Bufu was charging with all his strength at this time, so he didn't make up for Duan Yuande's heart, and let him watch him stagger and kill into the formation. Followed by Tan Tianhua and Tian Junhao, both of them were swords, the two swords slashed head-on, Zhang Bufu shook the two of them away with a block and a slash, and continued to fight into the formation, to meet the dozens of weapons behind.
The jingle bell continued to ring, Zhang Bufu at this moment the qi in his body was frantically agitated, whether it was the six senses or the reaction was extremely keen, winding, circling, blocking, and taking out, even though there were swords and soldiers in all directions in the array, they were all taken by Zhang Bufu one by one, and the swords in their hands were shaken away by the force coming out of Zhang Bufu's spear as soon as they came into contact, and no one could stop his footsteps, so he could only watch him rush by, as if entering a no-man's land.
After a charge, both sides slowed down and turned their horses' heads, and when they looked at each other from afar, everyone in Yuding Gate could not hide their shock. The strength of Zhang Bufu's gun was simply incredible, and two of them were even shocked off the knife in their hands.
On the other hand, Zhang Bufu was overjoyed. The reason why he didn't take the initiative to attack in the charge just now was because he wanted to be safe, and he wanted to see how his own strength improved after cultivating the qi machine. Judging from the preliminary battle just now, the huge improvement brought by the Qi Cultivation Machine was something that Zhang Bufu had never imagined.
If it was put on such a charge before, Zhang Bufu would be able to do it, but it would definitely be much harder than now, and there would definitely be a few colors hanging on his body, how could he be as unscathed and calm as he is now.
On the other side at this moment, Duan Yuande shook his numb arm covertly, frowned, and said secretly in his heart, "This kid is a bit evil." ”
