Chapter 60 The Mysterious Corpse
Yang Cang and Yang Shaoxiong's soldiers and horses have converged, watching Yang Shaoxiong rush back and forth, Yang Cang is very pleased, he beckoned Yang Shaoxiong to combine the soldiers and horses into one place, and continue to impact the remaining remnants, at this time Wei Xiaofeng led the men and horses to rush over from the side, "Have you found my sister?"
Yang Cang said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't be anxious, we are searching with all our might!"
While he was talking, Liu Bao quickly came to report: "Prince Yu, Yang Shuai, someone saw Princess Xiaoyue being held hostage by our pursuers and fleeing in the camp!"
Yang Cang frowned: "Spy, what's going on?"
Yang Shaoxiong hurriedly said: "We met a spy on the way, strong in martial arts, injured General Liu Bao, and snatched his war horse, and was ambushed and surrounded by me, but I didn't expect him to escape again, General Nangong fought with him, and he didn't get any cheap!"
"What?" Yang Cang heard that Nangong Po hadn't taken down this person, and suddenly felt that the situation was not good, "There is such a character!"
"He's really powerful, he can still fight within a hundred rounds, and outside a hundred rounds, I can't do anything!"
After listening to Nangong Po's words, Yang Cang felt that there was a big problem!
Wei Xiaofeng drove his horse forward and said, "Where is he now?"
Liu Bao said: "According to this, it is about ten miles!"
"Let's cover up the past, and we have to rescue my sister no matter what!"
Yang Cang, Yang Shaoxiong and Wei Xiaofeng rushed all the way to kill, and saw Lan Jiuming and Wei Xiaoyue walking towards them from a distance.
Nangong Po was the first to see it, "Isn't that Princess Xiaoyue?"
Yang Shaoxiong was very angry when he saw Lan Jiuming holding Wei Xiaoyue in his hand, and shouted: "Catch the spy in front of you, and you will be rewarded!"
When Wei Xiaoyue saw the southern army coming, she thought it was to greet her, and she was very happy, "Brother Ming, our army is here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the soldiers of the Southern Army rushing over, and more than ten spears pierced Lan Jiuming!
Lan Jiuming shook off the green dragon whip, wrapped all these spears, and with a little force, they all got rid of it!
"Stop!" Wei Xiaofeng shouted, he had already recognized Lan Jiuming, quickly turned over and dismounted, rushed to the front, and grabbed Lan Jiuming's hand, "Brother Ming, it's really you!"
"Xiaofeng, you are so majestic in this military costume!" Lan Jiuming said jokingly.
Yang Cang, Yang Shaoxiong and others also leaned over, and Yang Shaoxiong asked, "Do you know each other?"
Wei Xiaoyue happily replied: "This is the friend I often mention to you, the former Jianghu Ranger Lan Jiuming!"
"Are you Lan Jiuming?" Nangong clenched his fists and said: "Sure enough, it is worthy of its reputation, but I am convinced that it was defeated in the hands of Lan Shaoxia!"
Lan Jiuming returned the salute, Wei Xiaoyue introduced everyone one by one, Yang Cang saw Yang Shaoxiong's ugly face, and asked, "Lan Shaoxia, why did you have a dispute with General Liu?"
Lan Jiuming said: "The soldiers under General Liu robbed the people, I couldn't get used to teaching them a lesson for a while, but I didn't expect to be surrounded by General Liu, so I had to take action!"
"It turned out to be a misunderstanding," Yang Cang called Liu Bao over, "As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, General Liu is not allowed to hold grudges, Lan Shaoxia is a heroic man in the rivers and lakes, naturally he is broad-minded and doesn't count, right!"
Liu Bao barely squeezed out a smile, "Lan Shaoxia, how offended!" Lan Jiuming smiled, and gave his hand in return.
"Sister, you're not hurt, are you?"
"I'm fine, thanks to Brother Ming's timely appearance!" Wei Xiaoyue said 1510.
Wei Xiaofeng was very happy, "Today is really a good day, we broke the enemy army, my sister came back safe and sound, and reunited with Brother Ming, three joys are coming!"
"Brother Ming, I'll take you to Broken Valley to have a look, that's our base camp!" Wei Xiaoyue excitedly introduced to Lan Jiuming what she had seen and heard after she came, and the three of them walked in front of the team side by side, leaving Yang Cang and the others behind.
Yang Shaoxiong looked at their backs and was very unconvinced, "No matter how I think this Lan Jiuming is not like a good person!"
Nangong Po said: "He is a generation of heroes, and he is very famous in the rivers and lakes!"
Yang Cang understood Yang Shaoxiong's thoughts, and he said expressionlessly: "Shaoxiong, now is the time to employ people, you have to control any emotions, our current enemy is the King of Dongming!"
"I understand, Father!"
Yang Cang stroked his beard in his hands, and secretly muttered in his heart: "Lan Jiuming......"
Lan Jiuming and Wei Xiaofeng arrived at the camp of the Southern Army, there were only three of them in the camp, Wei Xiaofeng ordered, if there was no military, no one was allowed to disturb.
The three of them sat on the futon, drinking wine and eating, Lan Jiuming sighed: "I haven't seen you for a few days, you all already have such a big family business!"
Wei Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Brother Ming, don't be kidding, this is all placed by General Yang Cang." ”
"My father put General Yang here, maybe he also left a hand, and the broken valley is separated by a moat, so King Dongming hasn't been beaten down for so many years!" Wei Xiaoyue said.
Lan Jiuming nodded and said, "Yang Cang has lived here for a long time, and he has been confronting King Dongming for many years, it is really not easy to persevere!"
"Tomorrow we will go back to the Broken Valley, you can take a look at the natural danger, it is very spectacular, Xiaofeng and I were stunned when we first met!" Wei Xiaoyue didn't seem to be in the barracks, but a little girl who went to school and introduced the things at home to the boys who were guests.
"By the way, Brother Ming, what happened after you separated from us?" Wei Xiaofeng asked.
Lan Jiuming told how he teamed up with Wang Hai to get rid of Zhou Lu during this period, and how he killed the wolf and camel with his own hands.
"It's really happy!" Wei Xiaofeng clapped his hands.
"Later, you all knew, I came here to find your whereabouts, but when I met Liu Bao, I robbed his horse, and was finally surrounded by Yang Shaoxiong, until I saw Xiaoyue in Wu Feilong's camp!"
Lan Jiuming looked at the two of them, hesitated, and asked, "The Southern Army robbed the people's property, this is not an exception, why did Yang Cang condone the soldiers?"
Wei Xiaoyue looked embarrassed and said: "At the beginning, we found out, and later General Yang said that the rations of these hundreds of thousands of people are simply not enough, if you don't rob them, there is no way to feed so many people, and it is really difficult to maintain the grain and grass in the broken grain, so we didn't care about it later!"
Lan Jiuming sighed, "It's understandable, it's still the people who are fighting back and forth!"
Wei Xiaofeng said with extremely resolute eyes: "When we enter Luo Xing Palace, it will be good to kill King Dongming and end all this!"
Lan Jiuming didn't speak, because he knew that this was a hatred for their family and country, and a catastrophe for the people.
Wei Xiaofeng turned around and looked at Lan Jiuming, "Brother Ming, I heard that you defeated Nangong Po?"
Lan Jiuming smiled and said, "That's right, but I've never heard of his name, but his cultivation is top-notch, and this army of the Eastern God Department is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!"
Wei Xiaofeng was very interested in this, he came over, "When I first came, I broke the mural with Nangong for a while, and fought for more than 100 rounds without winning or losing, but I could feel that I was still a little worse, I was thinking at that time, if Brother Ming was there, he would definitely be able to let him taste the bitterness, but I didn't expect you to really hand it over, Brother Ming really didn't disappoint me!"
"Although Nangong Po has the title of general, he does not lead the troops, mainly for escort work, and he is the highest martial artist in the Southern Army, and now that Brother Ming is here, we are even more powerful!" Wei Xiaoyue was convinced of Lan Jiuming's ability.
The three of them chatted in the tent until late at night before they dispersed, Yang Shaoxiong sent someone to watch outside, he was always hostile to Lan Jiuming, and when he saw him and Wei Xiaoyue separated, he was relieved to go back to rest.
Early the next morning, the army drove back to the broken valley, and sure enough, as Wei Xiaoyue said, the broken valley was really very spectacular: this was a long, narrow, dark, gloomy, terrifying broken stream, in which the barren grass was long, the strange rocks were craggy, and the other side of the broken valley was completely different, the dense forest was covered with continuous peaks, the grassland was vast, the emerald green bushes were scattered among them, the wild grass was green, the fragrance of flowers was bursting, several lakes in the depths of the grassland were sparkling, between the mountains and rivers, the white clouds were drifting, full of vitality.
The land on both sides of the broken valley is connected by two chain bridges, it is difficult to imagine the scene of hundreds of thousands of troops passing through the chain bridges in turn, this kind of natural danger is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, no wonder the king of Dongming has not been able to take it.
Lan Jiuming looked at the dense forests on the left and right, and he asked, "Won't the army cross the Broken Valley with us?"
Wei Xiaofeng replied: "That's too time-consuming, we will only go back to some of the soldiers who are resting in turn, and the rest will camp here, if the enemy army advances, there can be ambushes on both sides of the dense forest, this forest is boundless, and it is easy to advance and retreat!"
"I see!" Lan Jiuming exclaimed, "Broken Valley is really a godsend!"
At this time, Yang Cang and the others had already begun to cross the bridge, the wind was blowing the iron rope a little shaking, but they had fully adapted to it, walking on it as if walking on the ground, Lan Jiuming also followed on the bridge, halfway through, the wind blowing from the bottom of the valley suddenly became stronger, Lan Jiuming lowered his head and glanced down, and was stunned for a moment!
The bottom of the valley was pitch black and bottomless, but the moment Lan Jiuming lowered his head, he saw an old man with white hair and beard, his face was pale, his eyes were closed like a zombie, and he was flying upwards under the blowing of the wind!
Lan Jiuming didn't feel his breath at all, which could almost be judged to be a dead man!
Although this wind is strong, it is not strong enough to overturn a person, but the way this old man's body swings is obviously blown up by the wind, is his body lighter than a normal person?
Lan Jiuming saw him getting closer and closer, and shouted, "Everyone disperse quickly!"
Everyone was startled by his voice, and they all looked down along his line of sight, and as soon as they lowered their heads, the old man flew up along the gap in the iron cable!
This time everyone was surprised, and they dispersed, and the old man fell on the bridge in a leisurely manner, and the bold stepped forward and touched it with the barrel of a gun, and found that there was no response.
"It turned out to be a dead man!" Everyone was noisily surrounding there, and Yang Shaoxiong behind squeezed over, "What are you doing, why don't you leave?"
"General, there is a corpse floating up from the bottom of the valley, I don't know what to do with it!"
"Corpse?" Yang Shaoxiong felt strange, and stepped forward to take a look, "When did it happen?"
"Just now, Lan Shaoxia found out!"
Yang Shaoxiong looked at Lan Jiuming and said, "There are no such strange things in ordinary times, why did it happen as soon as you came!"
Lan Jiuming sensed his hostility and said lightly: "General Yang, this thing is very weird, it's better to be careful!"
"We are fighting on the battlefield, and we are afraid of a corpse, throw him down, and let him go back and forth from where!"
Lan Jiuming was about to stop it, but it was too late, the soldier who was close to the corpse had just grabbed the collar with his hand, and the corpse suddenly opened its eyes!
