Chapter 421: Returning with a full load
Mu Jiugong killed with one move, and the remaining four people saw that the Wudang faction came to help again, how dare they fight again, the four of them gathered together, and they couldn't care about Lang Si Dou, whose face was like gold paper on the ground, Qiu Zhong took the lead, Zhang Liuhe, Zheng Qixing, and Zhu Bafang followed closely behind, and the four of them fought hard, and they actually tore a hole and broke out.

The disciples outside got Xiao Han's order to let Zheng Qixing leave, but the four of them clinged to each other tightly, and they were rushed out by the four of them when they hesitated. Xing Anping shouted angrily, "Stop them." ”
Xiao Han's heart moved, and he said: "Poor Kou Mo chase." Everyone immediately stopped, the two Wudang disciples cut the injured Lang four times into two pieces, and the rest of the people killed the injured disciples of the Mountain Demon Gate one by one, and the disciples of the Xuanwu Hall gathered firewood to cremate the corpse.
The dead disciples of Wudang were also cremated, and the ashes were packed into a bag and transported back to the Wudang Martyrs' Shrine for worship. The four halls performed their own duties, only Sima An's old face was flushed, and he stood opposite Xiao Han with a face full of embarrassment.
The man in white who killed Mu Jiugong walked slowly and arched his hand towards Xiao Han: "Congratulations to Master Xiao for his victory." Xiao Han bowed his hand and replied: "Senior brother has worked hard, Xiao Han is grateful." ”
The man in white was Gu Zhonghe, and when he heard this, he shook his head and said: "I was going to deal with Xun Nanping, but I didn't expect Senior Sima to come forward to drive him away, and I listened to your orders to let him escape, so I didn't show up." Xiao Han said with a smile: "Xun Nanping was injured, and most of the Mountain Demon Gate was annihilated by me. ”
Murong Qiuyu reminded softly: "Old Man Sima is still standing there, you have something to say." Only then did Xiao Han turn his face to Sima An and said, "Senior Sima helped the Wudang faction with righteousness, and I am grateful." Then Xiang Xiang Xiang Ming said: "Give him a hundred taels of silver, and thank him for helping his faction." ”
Guan Xiangming didn't dare to say much, and immediately took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it to Sima An. Sima An knew that Xiao Han was deliberately humiliating him, and said with a flushed face: "Senior Brother Xiao, the old man was wrong last time, and I hope that the head of the family will not care about the past suspicions, and the adults will not care about the villain, and the prime minister will be able to support the boat in his belly, and the old man will definitely do his best to protect the safety of the Wudang faction in the future." ”
Xiao Han sighed, turned his head to Murong Qiuyu and said, "What does the sister mean?" Murong Qiuyu looked at Sima An and said, "For the sake of Sister Jingxin, spare him this time." It's just that the Wudang Sect has its own precepts, and such things are absolutely not allowed to happen again. ”
Sima An said with a smile on his face: "Miss Murong, the old man will go back to the mountain to accept the punishment of Minister Li and Minister Ye, and he will definitely abide by the rules of the faction from now on, and he will never dare to violate the rules of the gang again." ”
Murong Qiuyu smiled and said: "This is not necessary, Minister Li and Minister Ye are punished very strictly, you are also old, whether it is beating you or imprisoning you, it is not good to look good." In this way, you will stay in the Wudang faction in the future, and protect the safety of the Wudang faction with Old Man Bai. ”
Sima An was overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "It's still Miss Murong who is reasonable, and the old man guarantees with his life, as long as Senior Brother Bai and I are there, I will never let anyone destroy a single grass and tree in Wudang, if you violate this oath, the sky will thunder." ”
Xiao Han snorted coldly when he heard this: "What does it mean that Miss Murong is reasonable? Does it mean that I am mean and unkind?" Murong Qiuyu smiled and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, you go back to the mountain first, and ask Brother Xuanmei for a horse." ”
Sima An said goodbye to the two, and turned around to leave. Only then did Xiao Han smile at Gu Zhonghe and said, "Senior brother, go back with us." Gu Zhonghe smiled: "No, you take care of the little sister, the ancestor asked me to accompany Uncle Lan to find the senior sister Chai, and when it is over, I will go to the Shaolin Temple with the ancestor to visit the abbot of Xingkong." When the matter is done, I will go to the Wudang Sect to visit Brother Xiao. ”
Xiao Han said: "You are Senior Brother Ying'er, you are my Senior Brother, you can call me by my name in the future, you must not be so polite." Murong Qiuyu followed: "Little sister Murong Qiuyu has seen senior brother. Panicked, Tanaka Crane hurriedly returned the salute and said, "You don't have to be polite, since this is the case, I will do it." ”
Xiao Han smiled: "That's it, I'm waiting for you on Wudang Mountain with Ying'er and Xiaomei." Tanaka Crane was still masked, nodded slightly, and said, "There will be a period later." The three of them parted.
At this time, the disciples of the four halls had already packed up. Liang Qiucheng came with all the horses, and everyone gathered the gold, silver and jewelry into several large bags, which were escorted by Xuanwutang, and the rest of the people got on the horses under the leadership of Xiao Han, turned back to the south, and returned to Wudang Mountain.
On the rivers and lakes, it was rumored that the Wudang faction had destroyed the Wuji Gang, the black and white were extremely shocking, I didn't expect Xiao Han to be so vicious, more than 200 members of the Wuji Gang, including the family members of the power, except for the two disciples who escaped from the news, none of them escaped the net, and all of them were cut off and hung on the city tower, so that the black and white Dao could not accept it, and it was rumored that Xiao Han had fallen into the Demon Dao, and it was even more ruthless than the Demon Sect.
Xiao Han naturally would not sit still, and then sent a lot of people to spread the truth everywhere, telling the people in the rivers and lakes that the Wuji Gang had defected to the Demon Sect, robbed the Wudang faction's property, and killed the disciples of the Wudang faction, which caused peace in the rivers and lakes for a while.
Ma Renfei, one of the three sects, was ordered to come to Wudang Mountain to inquire, and was scolded back after a conversation between Xiao Han and Murong Qiuyu with a gun and a stick. Ye Tianhan followed and went to see Li Yueying first, and Li Yueying re-recognized her master under the persuasion of Xiao Han and Murong Qiuyu many times.
Xiao Han naturally knew her intentions, and didn't give her a chance to speak at all, but just blindly told the interesting stories and farces that Li Yueying had made in the past month, plus the gags of the seven sons of Wudang, Ye Tianhan was stunned and didn't ask a word.
The strange thing is that Shaolin didn't send anyone to come, Xiao Han sent Ye Tianhan away, looked at Murong Qiuyu and smiled, what he wanted was this effect, so that both black and white were afraid of him, and they didn't dare to provoke him easily.
The Demon Sect was even more strange, it seemed to be indifferent to this matter, there was no movement at all, which caused Xiao Han's tense nerves to be unable to let go, and he almost lost sleep because of it.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, the rivers and lakes are still calm, and Xiao Han's heart has also calmed down, training disciples in the Wudang School martial arts field every day, and teaching the seven sons to practice martial arts. The seventh son had a good foundation of internal strength under the teaching of Bai Jiuxiao and Sima An, and Xiao Han drew his Heavenly Sword into a figure, only to find that this swordsmanship was too complicated, and each move could be divided into seven small moves, which was quite complicated to practice.
The seventh son practiced for a month, and there was no benefit at all, Xiao Han had no choice but to give up, and handed them over to Bai Jiuxiao and Sima An, and he didn't care what he wanted to practice. The second elder divided the work, the eldest, the fourth, and the seventh were handed over to Bai Jiuxiao for guidance, the second, fifth, and sixth were taught by Sima An, and the remaining third Fu Haoxuan was taught by Murong Qiuyu himself.
In the past month or so, Xiao Han has sent dozens of disciples to search for famous doctors to treat Li Yueying, but unfortunately these doctors are helpless, and the medicines prescribed are also varied, Xiao Han drove them all away in a fit of anger, and his heart was also a little cold.
Seeing Li Yueying's happy appearance every day, Xiao Han still feels happy and peaceful, especially with Murong Qiuyu by his side, he does not feel lonely, it is not bad to go on like this every day, but he can't give the two of them a stable and happy home, which is a piece of Xiao Han's heart.
When Ye Tianhan left, he specially instructed that he could not get married until Li Yueying's illness was cured, Xiao Han naturally agreed, but in this way, Murong Qiuyu suffered, Li Yueying could not marry him, and she was naturally embarrassed to walk in front.
In order to strengthen his combat power, Xiao Han purchased a customized bow and arrow, each of whom had an iron tire bow, and began to train archers. The Wudang disciples saw with their own eyes how strong the five hundred archers led by Zhao Chengzong were, and the Jianghu people were completely vulnerable in front of them, so they practiced quite carefully.
These Wudang disciples have good internal skills, and the head is also good, after practicing for more than three months, Xiao Han concentrated on a review, and the disciples of the four halls are equal, and what is even more arrogant is Ning Hongcai, the helmsman of the White Tiger Hall and the White Black Branch, this guy is infinitely powerful, and he has made the nine-strand Tiancha, weighing seventy-six catties.
Ning Hongcai went down with an arrow, not only penetrating the target wall, but also shooting the arrow five inches into the mountain wall, which made everyone stunned, and called him the contemporary "flying general". Xiao Han was overjoyed and rewarded the White Tiger Hall and Ning Hongcai, and the other halls were naturally not convinced, and set off a new round of military competition.
At this time, it was the height of summer, and there was no rest on the Jiangling side, and I didn't know what the Demon Sect was going to do, and the rivers and lakes had been very calm in recent months, and even Shi Chuyang and Hu Yunzhao had no news.
It is now the summer of 962 A.D., the third year of the Great Song Dynasty. Xiao Han suddenly thought that in September of this year, Zhou Xingfeng died of illness in Wuping Jiedu, which had seized Hunan, and his eleven-year-old son Zhou Baoquan succeeded to the throne. Zhang Wenbiao, the assassin of Hengzhou, took the opportunity to launch a mutiny, captured Tanzhou, and attempted to replace it. The ruler of Wuping sent Yang Shifan to lead the army to resist, and on the other hand, he sent people to the Song for help, and in November, the ruler of Nanping, Gao Baomiao, also died of illness, and his nephew Gao Jichong succeeded him.
Zhao Kuangyin saw the funerals in Wuping and Nanping one after another, and adopted the policy of killing two birds with one stone: destroying Nanping in the name of borrowing the road, and destroying Wuping in the name of rescue. In the first year of Qiande, that is, on the seventh day of the first month of 963 AD, Zhao Kuangyin ordered Murong Yanzhao and Li Chuyun to send troops to Hunan. When passing through Nanping, he asked for a false crossing, but Gao Jichong did not make any contingency preparations.
At the beginning of February, the Song army entered Tunxiangzhou and sent someone to inform Nanping to prepare supplies for the Song army. At this time, Gao Jichong sent an envoy to inquire about the true intentions of the Song army in the name of the teacher. On the ninth day of the second month, the envoy and the Song army met at Jingmen, and Murong Yanchuan pretended to be hospitable, and secretly rode thousands of light horses led by Li Chuyun, and rushed to Jiangling by night double road.
Gao Ji rushed outside the city and waited for Yanzhao's army, while Li Chuyun led his troops into the city first and quickly occupied the important places in Jiangling City. Gao Jichong saw that the general trend had gone, and surrendered the city. After the Song army destroyed Nanping, more than 10,000 people in Nanping were requisitioned, and the troops rushed to Wuping. At this time, Wu Ping had killed Zhang Wenbiao and quelled the civil strife.
Zhou Baoquan learned of the news of the Song army's pressure on the border and decided to resist. So Murong Yanzhao divided his troops into two routes, advancing by land and water: the naval division went east to Yuezhou, and the land route went out of Lizhou to Langzhou. The waterway broke the Wuping army at the mouth of the Sanjiang River and occupied Yuezhou. Advancing by land to the south of Lizhou, encountering the Wuping army, defeating it, and then occupying Langzhou, capturing Zhou Baoquan and pacifying Hunan.
The history is known as "pacifying Jinghu", Jinghu was pacified, Zhao Kuangyin immediately turned his attention to Xishu, and the situation also formed a semi-encirclement state for the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Xiao Han helped Li Congshan, the king of Zheng in the Southern Tang Dynasty, to operate in many ways, and refused to give Jinghu to the Zhao family easily, and was just about to write a letter to remind Li Congshan to pay attention, when he saw Xing Anping walking in from outside the door, he saw him smile and said: "The head of the family is very happy, someone is giving gifts." ”
