Chapter 51: A Narrow Road Encounter

The three of them walked like this for three or four days and came to the edge of the Yellow River. The Yellow River www.biquge.info not yet frozen, and a large number of boats came and went, each of which was crowded with people. As soon as the boat reached shore, the men hurried south.

Mei Jiutong stepped forward and asked the boatman: "Are you still going to the north? How many taels of silver are you alone?" The boatman looked at him carefully, looked at the two women behind him, and asked suspiciously: "The guest officer really wants to cross the river?" Zhai Jingyue listened impatiently, and interjected: "What's the matter with your boatman? Now the Northern Jin army and the Khitan people are inextricably fighting, making life miserable, everyone is desperate to escape, at this time it is rare to see people go to the other side of the Yellow River. Zhai Jingyue said disdainfully: "It's rare, there are still some." ”

The boatman beckoned the three men to get into the boat, and as he slid the oars, he said, "There is only one person who has crossed the river these days, and he is a son, not a few years older than the girl behind you." Cui Xin thought that he must be happy, and asked: "Senior, can you see clearly, is he good-looking, with a jade pendant around his waist, and a long sword in his hand." The boatman replied, "Yes, the girl knows the man?"

Cui Xin was excited, thinking that Mei Jiutong really didn't lie to him, and forgot to answer the boatman's words. Zhai Jingyue touched her with her hand and said, "Sister, believe it now." Cui Xin nodded happily. Zhai Jingyue said: "My sister doesn't know him." Remembering that day, he was humiliated by Ji Yun in Beiqing Building, and said hatefully: "But there is a girl who walks with him." The boatman replied, "He is the only one who has gone north this morning, and the old man remembers it well." ”

Mei Jiutong looked at the vast river, full of emotions, and said casually: "Brother Le doesn't walk with the girl, he has his own troubles. ”

Cui Xin said to herself: "Le Gongzi left the capital, why did he want to go to a dangerous place like Hebei?" Zhai Jingyue said: "Sister, don't think nonsense, you will understand when you meet another day." When the boatman heard Cui Xin's concern, he said, "That young man is very polite, and he is not as high-minded as the others. ”

After hearing this, Zhai Jingyue said angrily: "Boatman, who do you say is flying high?" The boatman did not answer, turned around and rowed intently. Zhai Jingyue was not convinced, and got up to comment with him. Mei Jiutong said: "Zhai Jingyue, don't mess around, now in the middle of the Yellow River, don't affect the boatman's work." Zhai Jingyue had to sit down honestly.

The waves of the Yellow River came one after another, and the boat was very turbulent, Zhai Jingyue and Cuixin both felt nauseous and wanted to vomit several times. Mei Jiutong handed the two handkerchiefs and sat quietly by the boat. Half an hour later, the boat reached the opposite shore. Zhai Jingyue and Cui Xin hurriedly got off the boat.

Mei Jiutong paid two taels of silver and asked, "Boat man, have you seen a group of people on horseback crossing the river in the past few days?" The boatman's face was shocked, and he said in a slur manner, "Yes...... Some. Mei Jiutong asked puzzledly, "When did they cross the river?" and the boatman said, "They sat in another boat." After disembarking from the ship, not only did he not give him money, but he also injured the person who drove the boat. ”

Mei Jiutong was angry in his heart, and suddenly thought that Le Yiyang might be in trouble, so he didn't pass by the boatman's house, and took Zhai Jingyue and Cuixin to chase after him in a carriage.

Mei Jiutong guessed correctly, as soon as Le Yiyang arrived in Puzhou, he met Tuoba Jiyu.

Le Yiyang got off the ferry, inquired all the way to Hengzhou, walked for two hours, and gradually came to a market town. Le Yiyang bought a big bag of steamed buns at the store, filled them with water, and then hurried. Tuoba Jiyu came to the market town and saw that Le Yiyang was alone, and instructed the two of them to inquire about the news of Ji Yun in the town. The others followed Le Yiyang to the mountains and forests outside the formation.

Le Yiyang had already noticed that someone was following him, and he quickened his pace. As soon as he arrived in the mountains and forests, Tuoba Jiyu surrounded him. Le Yiyang said loudly: "You have pursued all the way to this point, and it is indeed commendable that you have worked so hard. Tuoba Jiyu said: "Good boy, our trip is not all for you. Le Yiyang said, "General, can you tell me where you are going?"

Tuoba Jiyu glanced around, and found that there was no one else, so he said, "You are a dying person, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." We are going to Hengzhou to meet the Khitans. Le Yiyang said: "I see. What kind of enmity do I have with you, and why do you help the Khitans?"

Tuoba Jiyu sneered: "My party Xiang was originally a descendant of the Later Wei royal family, and now he has the land of five states, and he can already establish himself as a king, but it's a pity that Li Yiyin is only satisfied with being a Xia Guogong, as a son and daughter of the party Xiang, how can he do this?" ”

Le Yiyang remembered what happened in Daizhou a few months ago, and now he heard Tuoba Jiyu talk about it, and it was expected that Dugu Ding must be his internal response in the Dingyan army, if Tuoba Jiyu's conspiracy succeeded, the Great Jin would suffer from the enemy. Thinking of this, Le Yiyang couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Tuoba Jiyu saw Le Yiyang alone in a daze, and said: "I didn't kill you with a palm in Kaifeng City that day, I often hate, I didn't expect to meet you today, it's really a godsend." "A few of those samurai had seen the power of Le Yiyang in the Farewell Love Building, and since then they have often held a grudge, and today they all want to be ashamed of themselves while there are many people, so they have come to Le Yiyang.

Le Yiyang saw that there were many warriors in the party, and Tuoba Jiyu's martial arts were unfathomable, and he knew that it was difficult to escape this catastrophe today, and he couldn't help but think of Zhuge Kongming's "death before leaving the school". The party warriors were getting closer and closer, and Le Yiyang was holding his breath, ready to fight to the death.

As soon as those warriors were about to approach, Le Yiyang had already unsheathed his long sword, flew out, and struck with his left hand with a slanted palm, and the two party warriors flew three zhang. Those people had no fear, raised their knives and screamed and slashed towards Le Yiyang, Le Yiyang raised his sword to block everyone, pushed up hard, and kicked four or five people out of the corner with both feet. Le Yiyang fought with the party warriors for more than ten rounds, and the people turned over to the ground.

Tuoba Jiyu was furious, stretched his feet to the horse mat, and flew over diagonally. Le Yiyang has seen the power of the "Thunderbolt Divine Palm", and at this moment, Tuoba Ji is in mid-air, with nowhere to borrow strength, and he can't use superior internal force at all. Tuoba Jiyu just stood still, and Le Yiyang had already had luck in his right hand, sending the Qingyun Xuankong Sword to his side.

Seeing that this sword move was extremely fierce, Tuoba Jiyu hurriedly dodged to the side and pulled out a big sword to block a sword. Le Yiyang didn't wait for him to have a chance to breathe, his left hand attacked his lower abdomen, Tuoba Jiyu reached out to block a palm, and slid the knife to Le Yiyang's neck. Le Yi raised his head and leaned back, avoided a knife, retracted his left hand at the right time, and took three steps back by the momentum. Tuoba Jiyu was about to use the "Thunderbolt Divine Palm", and Le Yiyang used the "surprise" move in the "Huixu Sword Technique". This move is eclectic, and can be attacked from any part of the body, and is used when others are unprepared. Tuoba Jiyu was about to concentrate on his luck, but he didn't expect Le Yiyang to swing his sword at his elbow, so he hurriedly retreated to avoid it.

Le Yiyang saw that he could not miss the opportunity, and a move "Canghai Divine Needle" attacked Tuoba Jiyu. This move is infinitely powerful, the person who uses it needs to have excellent martial arts, both hands are clenched, the true qi lingers at the fingertips, if the sword is made, the tip of the sword condenses the internal force of the body, and under one move, the injured person will definitely die. Le Yiyang hated Tuoba Jiyu for colluding with the Khitan to plague the Great Jin Dynasty, and wanted to get rid of him. Who knew that Tuoba Jiyu had already used the "Thunderbolt Divine Palm", Le Yiyang's body was horizontal in the air, and the Qingyun Xuankong Sword hung in front of Tuoba Jiyu's neck, and he did not fall to the ground. Tuoba Jiyu was shocked, but he didn't expect Le Yiyang to use this strange trick, and the two had to confront each other. Le Yiyang concentrated at this time, and used his strength to make the sword break through Tuoba Jiyu's palm, and if there was a slight mistake at this time, he would be injured by the aftermath of the "Thunderbolt Divine Palm".

A few of the party warriors were about to step forward to help, but they heard the people behind them shouting: "Don't do it, if the general comes to disturb again during the exercise, he will go crazy and never recover." ”

Le Yiyang suddenly realized, only to understand why Tuoba Jiyu was in a hurry to dodge just now, regretting that he was in a hurry just now, otherwise he would have been able to take his life if he waited until he had drawn his palm in a circle. Even if you want to defeat him now, I'm afraid it's impossible. Le Yiyang still held his breath and didn't dare to relax. The two of them held each other for half a pillar of incense, and sweat the size of dewdrops appeared on their heads. Le Yiyang gradually couldn't support it, and white smoke came out of his back. Tuoba Jiyu is at ease and doesn't seem to be worried.

Le Yiyang thought to himself: "It's not a way to go on like this, in the end, it will only be a defeat with Tuoba Jiyu, the party is full of warriors, and he will not escape death in the end, so it's better to make a break with him now." Thinking of this, Le Yiyang let go of the Qingyun Xuankong Sword and burst into Tuoba Jiyu's palm, and the two of them met with their palms. Tuoba Jiyu was startled, thinking that Le Yiyang was coming, and hurriedly fought back, Le Yiyang felt a hot current coming from the palm of his hand, and thought: "Tuoba Jiyu's internal strength is really sufficient, and it will not be too late to kill him when he runs out of true qi." Even if you can't get to Hengzhou, it is worth the trip to be able to get rid of this thief today. ”

Tuoba Jiyu seemed to understand Le Yiyang's intentions, and pushed hard, and Le Yiyang floated backwards with his strength. Tuoba Jiyu reached out to take the Qingyun Xuankong Sword, and laughed: "Boy, you don't have the sword, and you won't be able to capture it before you tie your hands." Le Yiyang said: "If you have the ability, come and capture me." Tuoba Jiyu was furious, raised his sword in his right hand, raised his sword in his left hand, and attacked Le Yiyang together. Le Yiyang put out a figure of eight with his palms, and before he could get closer, he had already grabbed the tip of the Qingyun Xuankong sword, and called out "up", and an internal force was transmitted to Tuoba Jiyu's palm, he suddenly felt that his hand was numb, and he didn't have time to think, so he held the sword tightly, and stabbed Le Yiyang's chest with the big knife in his right hand. Le Yiyang took advantage of Tuoba Jiyu's left hand to exert force, suddenly clamped the Qingyun Xuankong Sword, and turned over to the side of his right hand with the force, Tuoba Jiyu saw the big knife piercing the air, and was about to cut it with a knife, but saw that his right elbow and wrist had been pointed at the acupoint, and he couldn't move.

Le Yiyang snatched the Qingyun Xuankong Sword, turned around and stabbed at Tuoba Jiyu again. Tuoba Jiyu only had one hand to move at this time, and he couldn't use the Thunderbolt Divine Palm for the time being, thinking: "Fortunately, if I learned this set of sword techniques at the beginning, if I only relied on the power of my palm, I would have died under his sword a long time ago." He was angry, and when he saw that Le Yiyang's sword had already attacked him, he hurriedly slashed it with his backhand. Le Yiyang retracted his strength at the right time, and the tip of the sword stabbed like his armpit again. Tuoba Jiyu thought that he couldn't get too close to him, turned over and took a few steps back, and shouted to his subordinates: "What are you still doing in a daze?"

When the group of party warriors heard this, they all rushed up to protect Tuoba Jiyu, and one by one raised their swords and stopped. Tuoba Jiyu saw that Le Yiyang was full of energy, and there was no slack look, so he had to get on his horse under the cover of everyone and hurried north.

After this vicious battle, Le Yiyang's physical strength has been consumed a lot, but he deliberately pretended to be nothing. waited until Tuoba Jiyu walked away, and Le Yiyang fell to the ground.
