Chapter 0121: Commander of the Chamber
On the cliff on the left, Zheyuezhi and Luan Tingyu shot wildly, their strength was soaring, and they were fighting fiercely with many masked people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 On the cliff on the right side of info, sixty or seventy crossbows were quickly aimed at Zhao Bufan, Shi Qian, and Zhu Hu, who had just landed.
At this moment, Zhao Bufan had no choice, and suddenly threw Shi Qian and Zhu Hu out of the left and right, and the fierce Nine Turns Golden Yang internal force gushed out, and his hands quickly waved into a circle, and the thick true qi formed a circular wall visible to the naked eye, enveloping the whole body.
"Whoosh!"
Dozens of crossbow arrows **** out, densely packed like raindrops, from far to near, in the blink of an eye, it is already close at hand.
"Ah!!!h
Zhao Bufan raised his head to the sky and roared, urging his power to the limit, his long hair flew upside down, and the fierce Nine Turns Golden Yang True Qi instantly detonated.
"See the dragon in the field!!"
Among the six moves that Zhao Bufan only knew how to descend the dragon and eighteen palms, this was the strongest defensive move, and he did everything to use this move, and the visible True Qi barrier flashed in the air, blocking in front of him, and those crossbow arrows touched this thin layer of True Qi barrier, and almost all of them were bounced away.
It's a pity that although his internal strength cultivation is as high as three grades, his martial arts cultivation is only eight grades, so he has surpassed the limit of control by performing defensive moves in this way, and he can't cover everything at all, let alone support it for a long time, and the two crossbow arrows that he accidentally missed penetrated the barrier.
Fortunately, when defending, he paid special attention to protecting his vital points, and the crossbow bolts that pierced the barrier only hit his right shoulder and left leg.
This kind of martial arts also stunned the masked people on the cliff, and they looked at each other in unimaginability.
"What are you doing standing still!Shoot quickly!He definitely won't be able to hold the next round!" The leader in the demon mask scolded in a deep voice, awakening many of his subordinates, and they raised their crossbows again, aiming at Zhao Bufan, who was gasping violently.
"Extraordinary brother!" Zhi Yuezhi shouted in horror, and the Canglan Sword swept with all his might, jumping off the cliff regardless of it.
"Don't come here!" Zhao Bufan glared angrily and scolded.
He had already tried his best just now, and it was really impossible to do it again, and the result of Zheyuezhi coming down would only be to die together.
But Zheyuezhi didn't listen to him at all, and a few dodged jumped to his side, and the horizontal sword was protected in front.
Zhu Hu and Shi Qian, who had just been thrown far away, also came back to their senses, knowing that it was Zhao Bufan who saved them just now, they were ruthless in their hearts, and turned around and ran back, Luan Tingyu on the cliff shook his head helplessly, although his expression was a little struggling, but finally chose to jump off the cliff and return to everyone.
Zhao Bufan was both moved and helpless, but it was useless to say anything now, in the face of the cold and shining crossbow arrows on both sides, this was already a desperate situation.
The leader in the demon mask was very cold, looked at the people indifferently, and raised his hand again.
At this critical moment, before he could shout the word "shoot", a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart, forcing him to roll on the ground.
He relied on his strong martial arts to dodge, but his subordinates did not have such strong martial arts, and they all fell down screaming, and dense crossbow arrows shot from behind them, causing great damage. It was so sudden, they didn't think that they would be ambushed, because they were facing away from the enemy, and they were completely unprepared, so they all became live targets, and they suffered heavy casualties.
After a while, an angry shouting and scolding voice spread all over Siye: "Wanhualou, you have ignored me again and again, and have ambushed my son-in-law along the road since Bazhou, and today you have sent so many people to blatantly ambush and kill, it is really too deceitful!"
"Zhu Bocai!!" The leader with the grimace mask gritted his teeth, as if he had been driven crazy, and roared angrily: "Are you fucking crazy? Since Zhao Bufan set off from Bazhou, you have secretly sent people to fight with us, how many people have died on both sides along the way? Now you are still personally bringing people here, is he your own son? Do you want to protect him like this? Who can't marry your daughter, you have to marry Zhao Bufan? Today you threw yourself into the net, don't blame us Wanhualou for being polite, do you think we are not prepared this time?"
At this time, a delicate sedan chair appeared on the cliff on the left, a large number of masters opened the way in front, killing the mask man and retreating, and more than a dozen majestic masters were guarding on both sides of the sedan chair, which looked extremely magnificent.
As the servant bent down and lifted the curtain, an old man full of wrinkles slowly walked out, with white eyebrows and white beard, and his aura was very strong.
"Your Excellency threatens Zhu Tidian, you are not afraid that he will start a fire and do nothing, and you want to destroy your Wanhualou every day?
This old man has a very terrifying bearing, a very ordinary sentence came out of his mouth, but it would attract everyone's attention, after saying that, he didn't even pay attention to those masked people, and turned to look at Zhao Bufan under the cliff, his gaze stopped for a moment, and then looked at Zheyuezhi.
"Hehe!" the old man smiled, and in Zhiyuezhi's puzzled gaze, he once again set his gaze on the leader of Wanhualou with a grimace mask. "I think your landlord is really dying, Zhe Yuezhi dares to throw arrows here, you really think that the people of the Zhe family are decorations? This means that there is no accident, if something really happens, not to mention that the Zhe family is looking for you to work hard, Your Majesty will never let you go!"
The man with the grimace mask snorted disdainfully: "Isn't the Zhe family amazing? It's just a small leading family at the border, kill it!"
"Hahaha!!" The old man smiled, smiling from ear to ear, although he looked very old, but his voice was very loud. "The old man still doesn't dare to say this, you are bold enough, how many years has the Great Song Dynasty been founded, how many years has the Zhejia army existed, such a hereditary family, you can move to try it! I advise you to go back and tell you the real master of Wanhualou, in Your Majesty's heart, there is only one military general family in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and no one can move, that is the Zhe family!"
The leader with the grimace mask was shocked in his heart, Cai Jing had something to say, as if he knew everything about their Wanhualou, which made him a little uncertain.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Old man Cai Jing!"
"Cai Xiang!!" the people of Wanhualou exclaimed in unison.
At this time, the fighting had stopped, and the remaining masters of Wanhualou were confronting Cai Jing and Zhu Bocai's men respectively.
Cai Jing was not shocked, as if he had become accustomed to such a scene, and said calmly: "Okay, don't show up the other ambushes in your Wanhualou, and withdraw quickly! As long as your people come out, the next moment there will be three lines of soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress you, and the final result will only be the annihilation of your entire army!"
With his words, Zhu Bocai strolled into the field of vision, and said with a hearty smile: "Cai Xiang made a special trip today, is it to help Zhao Bufan, or to help Wanhualou?"
"Zhu Tidian, Wanhualou is not the time to perish, since Zhao Bufan is safe and sound, then the purpose is completed, as for this small Wanhualou, Zhu Tidian will give the old man a little thin noodles, how about letting them go by themselves?" Cai Jing said with a smile.
Zhu Bocai's eyes flashed.
"It seems that the real owner of this Wanhualou is not simple, and he actually asked Cai Xiang to give him a favor?"
"It's not for favors, if you investigate the results, you will do the same!" Cai Jing said calmly, but did not explain in detail.
Zhu Bocai was silent for a moment, as if weighing something, and finally turned his head to look at the man wearing the grimace mask.
"Why don't you get out of here?"
Because of the mask, no one can see the ghost-faced man's expression, but it's definitely bad. He had no other choice at this time, facing Zhu Bocai and Cai Jing at the same time, so that he had no room to resist at all, just like what Cai Jing said, it is best not to show the next move, otherwise the whole army will be annihilated.
"Withdraw!" his voice was very suppressed, and as soon as the words came out, he immediately urged Qinggong to leave.
Cai Jing watched them walk away, and then turned his gaze to Zhao Bufan under the cliff again.
"You are about to become Zhu Bocai's son-in-law, the old man is here to congratulate you first, and I have already asked Your Majesty for permission two days ago to allow the expansion of the Bazhou Liutun Forbidden Army into a box, and you will serve as the commander of the Xiangdu, shouldering the border defense of Bazhou and Cangzhou, as for what official rank you can get this time, it depends on whether you can be appreciated by Your Majesty." Now you and I are two Qings, and I can be regarded as a wedding gift, go all the way!"
Suddenly saying this, Cai Jingjing turned around and slowly walked into the gorgeous sedan chair, and his guards were also very sensible, so they immediately got up from the sedan chair and disappeared from sight after a while.
Zhao Bufan stood quietly in place, looking at Cai Jing in the distance, and knew very well the meaning of what he said just now.
Obviously, it was Cai Jing who was announcing that he was giving up his cultivation and was completely dissociating himself, and the reason was that he was about to marry Zhu Bocai's daughter, but because he had received 100,000 yuan from him some time ago, he gave a Xiangdu commander, which was regarded as the end of the past, and at the same time covered the congratulatory gift.
As for the deeper meaning, Cai Jing is expressing dissatisfaction, because 100,000 guan is far from being able to buy such a dispatch as a commander of Xiangdu, Cai Jing is telling Zhao Bufan in this way how much he once wanted to recruit him, and he can give a commander of Xiangdu casually, but he chose to marry Zhu Bocai's daughter and did not stay in his Cai Jing's camp wholeheartedly, which made Cai Jing very disappointed.
The subtext is: We are completely clear, I have given you so much, I am worthy of you, but you are sorry for me, from now on you have nothing to do with me, don't offend me again!
This "box" is also the highest regular establishment of the Great Song Dynasty army, one box has jurisdiction over ten armies, one army has jurisdiction over five commands, one command has jurisdiction over five capitals, each with 100 people, in fact, it is 25,000 people, in terms of martial arts, this is really a very powerful send, Cai Jing is so generous, there is already a sense of demonstration.
The most terrifying thing is that the border defense of Bazhou and Cangzhou was handed over to Zhao Bufan, but the 25,000 soldiers and horses did not. Cai Jing is talking about expansion, not transfer, which means that this establishment can only be done by Zhao Bufan himself, but if he starts training from a new recruit, it will take two or three years of hard training to be called elite, and he has no combat experience, but at this time, he has to bear the border defense of the two places, isn't this fatal?
Cai Jing doesn't care anymore, if he makes a slight mistake in the future, Zhao Bufan will inevitably face a lot of trouble, not to mention that he is also incompatible with the privy envoy Tong Guan. The most important thing is that the Ministry of War is in the hands of Cai Jing, the Privy Council is in the hands of Tong Guan, and if the two highest military institutions don't care, then how much money, food, and soldiers can be allocated to Bazhou in the future?
This really gave Zhao Bufan sweetness, wiped out everything in the past, and at the same time gave Zhu Bocai and Zhao Bufan a disadvantage...... (To be continued.) )
