Chapter 8 Li Qiushui, the Empress Dowager of Western Xia
Since the founding of the Western Xia, the Longyou region has been a battleground for the Song State and the Western Xia. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
If Western Xia occupied the Longyou region, they would be able to attack the Guanzhong region of the Song State at any time.
If the Song State occupies the Longyou region, it will be able to form a strategic encirclement of Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Western Xia State.
The capital of the Song State was Kaifeng, Henan, and even if the Western Xia occupied the Longyou region and threatened the Guanzhong region, it would not affect the national fortunes of the Song State.
But if the Longyou region fell into the hands of the Song State, from then on, the Song State would have the possibility of driving straight into the First World War to destroy the Western Xia.
Therefore, after the Longyou army reoccupied Lanzhou City and the Western Envoy City, as long as the Western Xia still had enough strength to counterattack, they would definitely try their best to regain control of the Longyou region.
The 150,000 troops of Helian Tieshu, the generalissimo of the Western Xia State Expedition to the East, were lost, and under normal circumstances, Helian Tieshu would have reconvened the army to transfer grain and grass to counterattack the Longyou region, and it would take at least a month or so.
It took Yang Ming ten days to reach the Ethereal Peak from Lanzhou City, and after a one-day delay in the Vulture Palace, it took another ten days to return to Lanzhou City with the Tianshan Tong Grandma from the Ethereal Peak.
This back and forth only took twenty-one days, but when Yang Ming and Tianshan Tong came to Lanzhou City on fast horses, they saw that Lanzhou City was surrounded by 100,000 troops in Western Xia.
Although the sun was shining in the sky, the cold wind of winter blew people cold all over the body.
Under the command of hundreds of Western Xia officers, the 100,000 troops of Western Xia attacked Lanzhou City from the four city gates, and the sky-shaking arrows rained down around the city walls.
Although there were 50,000 Longyou troops in Lanzhou City, and they still occupied the advantage of defending the city, there were many masters of Xixia Yipintang among the soldiers who attacked the city in Western Xia, and they caused a lot of casualties to the soldiers defending the city on the city wall.
The most troublesome thing is that even Li Yanzong, who was incarnated by Murong Fu, and Duan Yanqing, the head of the four evildoers, these two innate masters participated in the siege of the Western Xia soldiers.
They have already used the few innate masters in the world as ordinary siege soldiers. It can be seen that this time the Western Xia is bound to capture Lanzhou City.
The Longyou army took advantage of defending the city and condescendingly fired bows and arrows, and even the masters of the Xixia Yipintang could not force their way to the city wall.
However, the bows and arrows fired by ordinary soldiers could not threaten innate masters like Murong Fu and Duan Yanqing at all.
When Murong Fu and Duan Yanqing rushed to the walls of Lanzhou City and continuously killed the soldiers defending the city, the defensive situation of the Longyou Army soon showed signs of collapse.
"Murong Fu and Duan Yanqing, these two bastards, are really two brazen people!"
Although the heroes of the Central Plains led by the beggars would also participate in the Song wars against the Liao and Western Xia, they mainly did some things to spy on the military and assassinate the marshals and generals of the enemy countries.
Like Murong Fu and Duan Yanqing. Participating in the siege of the city with ordinary soldiers, those heroes of the Central Plains really can't afford to lose this face.
However, for the sake of his great cause of restoring the country, Murong Fu can not even give him the name given to him by his ancestors, of course, he will not care about any cheekiness.
Duan Yanqing is the head of the four villains in the world, I don't know how many people in the rivers and lakes scold him, Duan Yanqing naturally has no scruples about what he wants to do.
Seeing that under the leadership of Murong Fu, Duan Yanqing and the masters of the Western Xia Yipintang, the Western Xia soldiers were about to completely break through the defense of the Longyou Army, Yang Ming slapped his palms on the horseback and flew up, rushing towards Lanzhou City.
"Senior Tong! The situation is urgent right now. The younger generation went to rescue Lanzhou City first, and when the Western Xia army was repulsed, they welcomed Tong's predecessors into the city. ”
Tianshan Tong's grandmother wore a black cloak and covered her face with a black veil, completely hiding her fairy-like beauty.
Seeing Yang Ming rushing towards Lanzhou City, she teased in an old and deep voice.
"Yang Ming boy, grandma just help you deal with that slut Li Qiushui, these guys are not worthy of grandma's help for them. ”
Yang Ming didn't expect Tianshan Tong to make a move.
Moreover, Murong Fu and Duan Yanqing are a waste and a cripple, and Yang Ming has the Ziwei Soft Sword and the Xuantie Divine Sword in his hands. Even the two of them combined don't pay attention to it.
The Western Xia soldiers besieging the city under Lanzhou City were densely packed like ants, and Yang Ming urged the light martial arts method to the limit. Stepping on the body of the Western Xia soldier, he soon arrived at the foot of Lanzhou City, and then jumped five or six feet high and fell on the wall of Lanzhou City.
Murong Fu and Duan Yanqing were attacking the defending soldiers on the city wall with a group of masters from the Xixia Yipintang, and after hearing the sound of Yang Ming falling on the city wall, the two of them turned their heads at the same time.
"It's you!"
"Yang Ming!"
Murong Fu and Duan Yanqing's eyes widened at the same time, and a frightened expression appeared on their faces.
The two of them rushed to the wall of Lanzhou City unscrupulously. It was because it was confirmed that Yang Ming was not in Lanzhou City.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ming returned to Lanzhou City at this time.
"Li Yanzong, Duan Yanqing, you two are so bold, since you are here, then leave your life behind!"
With a snort, Yang Ming pulled out the Ziwei soft sword from his waist and rushed towards Duan Yanqing.
Although Murong Fu and Duan Yanqing's martial arts are between the best of the best. But Duan Yanqing's legs were crippled, and his light martial arts were far inferior to Murong Fu, so there was no possibility of escaping from Yang Ming at all.
"Li Yanzong, come and help me!"
Seeing Yang Ming rushing towards him, Duan Yanqing shouted while using a thin iron rod to provoke the Xixia Yipintang master next to him and threw it at Yang Ming.
Yang Ming stretched out his left palm and slapped it forward, and the master of Xixia Yipintang thrown by Duan Yanqing was slapped to death by Yang Ming and knocked to the ground, and at the same time, Duan Yanqing waved two thin iron rods and slammed a series of strong fingers into the big hole on Yang Ming's body in the air.
Although Yang Ming looked down on Duan Yanqing's crippled body, his face also showed a solemn look at this time, and Ziwei's soft sword slashed out horizontally, using sword qi to defeat all of Duan Yanqing's finger power.
Just as Yang Ming rushed in front of Duan Yanqing and was about to stretch out his left index finger to hit Duan Yanqing's chest, Murong Fu rushed over from the side, and the long sword in his hand sent out a sharp sword aura towards Yang Ming.
If Yang Ming didn't resist Murong Fu's sword qi, his left shoulder would be stabbed by Murong Fu's sword qi.
"Li Yanzong, do you want to die?"
Yang Ming's left hand flipped over, and his index finger sent out a strong horizontal finger force of [Finger Snap Divine Power] to hit Murong Fu's sword qi.
Bang!
After the sword qi and finger force collided, the two true qi disappeared at the same time.
Duan Yanqing seized the time when Yang Ming was dragged by Murong Fu, and with his right hand, he pressed the thin iron rod on the ground a little harder, and his body rose into the air and landed beside Murong Fu.
After meeting with Duan Yanqing. Murong Fu, who was still a little weak-hearted, said with a sneer on his face.
"Yang Ming, I admit that your martial arts are stronger than mine! But two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and you are the one who will lose after I join forces with Duan Yanqing!"
In the original work, after Murong Fu lost the hope of the Murong family to restore the country, he actually came up with a way to worship Duan Yanqing as his father-in-law and inherit the throne of Dali Kingdom. Not only did he grovel in front of Duan Yanqing, but he was even willing to change his Murong surname to Duan.
But at this time, Murong Fu and Duan Yanqing worked together for the Xixia Yipintang, and Murong Fu looked down on Duan Yanqing in his heart.
"What about a waste and a cripple, even if you two go together, you can't be my opponent!"
Yang Ming swung out the Ziwei Soft Sword and slashed out a sword aura towards Murong Fu and Duan Yanqing, and then rushed towards the two of them with a kick under his feet.
Seeing the amazing power of the purple-red sword qi that Yang Ming slashed out, Murong Fu subconsciously wanted to jump out of the way, but Duan Yanqing shouted loudly.
"Master Murong, the two of us can't be separated. Otherwise, he will break them one by one. ”
After speaking, Duan Yanqing used a thin iron rod to send out two [One Yang Finger] finger forces, which collided with the sword qi emitted by Yang Ming.
At the same time that the sword qi was crushed by Duan Yanqing's finger power, Yang Ming also rushed in front of Duan Yanqing, and the Ziwei soft sword stabbed towards Duan Yanqing's chest.
At this moment, Murong Fu's long sword also stabbed towards Yang Ming's chest.
Yang Ming frowned, and with a turn of his right hand, he used the Ziwei soft sword to cut off Murong Fu's long sword, and at the same time, the index finger of his left hand sent out a [snap finger supernatural power] finger power on Murong Fu's chest.
Bang!
Murong Fu couldn't dodge. was hit in the chest by Yang Ming's finger force, and in the next moment, his body flew upside down two or three feet away.
But at the same time. Duan Yanqing also used a thin iron rod to send out a [One Yang Finger] finger force and hit Yang Ming's chest.
Bang!
Although Yang Ming's body protection true qi was very strong, after being hit by Duan Yanqing's finger force, Yang Ming still snorted and took two steps back.
"Duan Yanqing, there is no Murong Fu who can help you now!"
After Yang Ming stood firm, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he rushed towards Duan Yanqing with a kick under his feet.
Seeing that Duan Yanqing was about to die under Yang Ming's sword, Murong Fu, who was two or three zhang away, had no time to rescue. A fluttering woman in white suddenly blocked in front of Duan Yanqing, raising her hand and sending out a palm force towards Yang Ming.
Before Yang Ming could see the woman's figure clearly, he felt a palm wind blowing towards him, obviously the woman's palm power was very strong.
Just as Yang Ming was about to retreat to avoid the woman's palm, the woman's left hand raised upward. With a bang, the palm force from her right hand actually changed direction and hit Yang Ming's shoulder.
Yang Ming's right shoulder shook, and a muffled snort came out of his mouth.
Although the woman's palm power was amazingly strong, it couldn't break Yang Ming's body protection true qi, so Yang Ming's right shoulder was only slightly injured that was not in the way.
After stepping back and opening a distance of five zhang between the woman and Duan Yanqing, Yang Ming looked at the woman seriously.
The woman in white who blocked Duan Yanqing behind her was slender and graceful, with a veil on her face, and she couldn't see her face, but looking at her fluttering skirt in the breeze, she should be a very young and beautiful woman.
Looking at the snow-white skin and beautiful eyebrows on the outside of the white-clothed woman's veil, Yang Ming suddenly understood the identity of the white-clothed woman in front of him.
Although this woman in white looks like she is in her thirties and twenties, she is actually eighty-seven years old, and she is the old witch of Li Qiushui, the Empress Dowager of Western Xia.
"The Queen Mother...... Thank you for saving your life!"
was saved by Li Qiushui, Duan Yanqing lowered his head and thanked him.
"Mr. Duan doesn't need to be polite! since you are working for my Western Xia, this palace will naturally not watch you being killed. ”
Li Qiushui glanced at Duan Yanqing's ugly appearance, turned his head to look at Yang Ming and said.
"What a handsome little Langjun, this palace liked you at first sight! Young Master Yang Ming, you join the Xixia Yipintang to serve my Xixia! This palace is not only strong in martial arts, but also has the martial arts of various sects and factions in the rivers and lakes in his hands to teach you. ”
Among the rivers and lakes in the world, the place with the largest collection of martial arts classics is neither the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Shaolin Temple, nor the Huanshi Water Pavilion of Gusu Murong's family, but the Langhuan Jade Cave of Mantuo Villa.
The deep valley stone cave of Wuliang Mountain in Dali is the place where Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui live in seclusion after marriage, there is a Lang Huan blessed land in it that collects a large number of martial arts classics collected by Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui, but there is a lack of peerless martial arts secrets such as Lin Temple [Yijin Sutra], Dali Duan's [Yiyang Finger], [Six Veins Divine Sword] and the beggar gang [Eighteen Palms of the Dragon].
Later, these martial arts classics were all moved to the Langhuan Jade Cave in Suzhou Mantuo Villa by Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui's daughter Li Qingluo.
Although the Langhuan Jade Cave in Mantuo Mountain Villa does not include all the martial arts classics on the rivers and lakes, it also collects nine points of ten martial arts on the rivers and lakes, so it is not a lie for Li Qiushui to say that she has the martial arts of various sects and factions on the rivers and lakes in her hands.
If it were an ordinary Jianghu person, he would definitely be moved by Li Qiushui's conditions.
But Yang Ming knew that he had learned too much martial arts, so it was better to specialize in one subject.
For example, North Qiao Feng and South Murong are a good example.
Murong Fu sat on the Huanshi Water Pavilion and the Langhuan Jade Cave, and the number of martial arts he had practiced was more than ten times more than that of Qiao Feng.
But if Qiao Feng and Murong Fu fought to the death, the three Murong Fu together would not be able to beat one Qiao Feng.
Martial arts are expensive but not too expensive, even if they are proficient in all martial arts on the rivers and lakes, they are not as good as practicing a martial arts to the pinnacle.
In the Condor World, Huang Yaoshi is also proficient in dozens of martial arts, and if he really fights, he still takes advantage of Ouyang Feng and Hong Qigong.
"If I'm not mistaken, you are Li Qiushui's senior! I didn't expect that the senior would personally deal with the junior in order to save Duan Yanqing, a cripple!"
Yang Ming sighed and shook his head, as if he felt very worthless for Li Qiushui.
Li Qiushui's eyes narrowed, revealing a fierce light and said.
"Young Master Yang Ming, you don't have to sow discord here! This palace invites you to join the Xixia Yipintang, do you agree or not?"
"If the seniors can kill themselves in front of me, I can consider joining the Xixia Yipintang, but only for a while!"
"Stinky boy!
Li Qiushui shouted angrily, and used [Ling Bo Weibu] to step on the direction of Zhou Yi's sixty-four hexagrams and rushed towards Yang Ming.
Just as Li Qiushui rushed in front of him, Yang Ming swung out the crape myrtle soft sword and slashed towards Li Qiushui.
Yang Ming's sword came extremely fast, and there was no possibility of dodging it if it was replaced by others, but Li Qiushui's [Ling Bo Weibu] footwork was very strange, and he turned around and jumped backwards out of thin air, narrowly avoiding Yang Ming's sword.
"What a sharp sword!
After Li Qiushui and Yang Ming opened a distance of two zhang, he waved his right hand and sent a splitting palm force towards Yang Ming.
With the lesson just now, Yang Ming urged his body with all his strength, jumped up with a kick under his feet, and retreated three feet away to avoid Li Qiushui's splitting palm.
Li Qiushui has the best light skill [Ling Bo Weibu] protection in the world, if she doesn't fight hard with Yang Ming, even if Yang Ming has a magic weapon, it will be difficult to hurt her.
However, if Yang Ming urged the light power with all his might, his body speed was not inferior to Li Qiushui's [Ling Bo Weibu], so it was impossible for Li Qiushui to hurt Yang Ming with his splitting palm force. (To be continued.) )
