CHAPTER XXXI

The arrows are like a plague, rushing down, Wei Chuan and his party, the five roads were sealed, and he couldn't retreat, and immediately waved the sword like a plate, and the soldiers swept down the continuous rain of arrows, and the disciples only felt that the arrows borrowed the strength of the stone crossbow, full of strength, and also mixed with internal force, when the long sword and the long sword were against each other, the tiger's mouth was numb, and it was really shocking. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Wei Chuan shouted angrily, urging the internal force, the placket of his clothes swelled, and the beard immediately dispersed, and the arrows that rushed to his face immediately suspended in the air, gathering more and more, gradually like a wall, isolating the two sides. The disciples around him, looking down to find where Mo Zhuang was, but where was there still his shadow, knew that he had taken the opportunity to escape, so they scattered in all directions, crossed the arrow wall from the four roads, and attacked it. Just past the three-zhang radius of the shield arrow wall, there are arrows head-on, but once everyone disperses, the crossbowmen on the Mozhuang clipper have no choice, and suddenly the target is confused, only under this slight change, there are already three Huashan sect disciples, flying on the mast, the sail reins and hanging cables one by one, the clipper shook a little.

At this moment, Wei Chuan shouted violently, divided his palms, and pushed towards the arrow wall, and countless arrows flew over, like a big wall, pressing over.

On the clipper, there are indeed masters, only to see the more than 20 generals holding spears, a little rod, the body is already high, rushing towards the wall of arrows that are flying and pressing, the spear is waved, the tiger is windy, and gradually this is invisible, just the red spear, transformed into a red circle, and gradually blurred. These twenty generals, two layers in front and back, were intermittently staggered, and the red circles were connected, blocking all the arrows that Wei Chuan was flying, and everyone on the ship was unscathed. At the same time, more than a dozen swordsmen flew up to meet them and attacked the three Huashan Sword Sect disciples separately, and the other three grabbed the fallen sail and struggled upward, tying the sail back to its place. The speed of the ship increased, and in a moment, Wei Chuan and the others were left behind.

"Poisonous smoke!" At this time, someone on the boat shouted, and then I saw several small windows on the wall of the ship pushed open, revealing the firelight, reflecting the firelight, a long arrow poked out of the arrow, near the arrow, tied to a short bamboo tube, a moment of fire stretched out from it, ignited the bamboo tube, and the white smoke immediately spat out.

"Put!"

With an order, the big arrow pulled the tail of gray smoke and shot out, but it was not shot at Wei Chuan and his party, but in the upwind direction, and the white smoke drifted with the wind and spread, enveloping Wei Chuan and the others. The Huashan Sword Sect has already suffered the loss of "nameless scattering", and does not dare to underestimate the smoke and poison, so he immediately held his breath, held his mouth and nose with one hand, and waved his sword with the other hand to block the arrows. Wei Chuan saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered: "Go!"

The disciples followed Master Wei Chuan and rushed up, wanting to get rid of the poisonous smoke. However, the poisonous smokers took turns to go into battle, an arrow was shot, the shooter retreated, and the descendants immediately put out the shortage, and saw the master and apprentice of the Huashan Sword Sect soaring into the air, and also aimed at the sky. When Wei Chuan saw that this plan was difficult to break through, he ordered: "Disperse and besiege this ship." At this moment, Wei Chuan felt a hissing sound behind him, and when he heard the sound discernment, he knew that it was a wave of arrows attacking, and immediately said: "Guard!"

At the sound of the order, all the disciples immediately urged the internal breath, poured qi into the whole body, and sent out gong, forming a qi shield to protect the whole body.

"Stop the traitors in Huashan, protect the adults to leave safely, the living will be added to the official and enter the knighthood, and the dead will be compensated!" At this time, several big ships were burned into a sea of fire, the fire was soaring to the sky, and it was red all over again, and there were nearly 100 people in the eagle's head tent, dead and wounded, only one general, leading the only more than 20 strong hands, regardless of the Huashan Sword Sect chasing and killing behind, flying away from the ship and attacking Wei Chuan, without considering whether the white smoke was poisonous or not. Under the agitation of the adjutant general's words, all the strong men shouted, first shot out all the hidden weapons on their bodies, and then swung their swords and spears and rushed up to kill.

Wei Chuan looked at this dry man, and he ignored the poisonous smoke, and had expected that there was no poison in this smoke, but it only made a trick and bluff, making him throw a rat bogey, but at this time, there were outlaws approaching on his back, and the arrows in front and back were as dense as the torrential rain, and it was difficult to catch up with the fast boat that had gone away, so he simply recruited back the three disciples who were fighting with the eagle's head tent on the mast, and killed the remnants of the eagle's head tent after the break, so he shouted with internal force: "Don't chase the poor guys, sweep away the remnants." ”

The three people of the mast, have already felt powerless, the opponent encountered, is not a rabble, and after the clipper is far away, there are several people to attack, it is even more dangerous, only the kung fu of parrying, struggling to persevere, waiting for the same door to break the defense, at this time I heard the master's call, I couldn't help but think more, immediately swing away the enemy's sword, a false move, retreat together, in the blink of an eye, and the people on the mast, separated a few feet, seeing that no one is chasing, then turn back, and Wei Chuan and others joined forces, besiege the remnants of the eagle's head tent, and kill them all, no one is left.

Eagle King Mo Zhuang, taking advantage of the time when the arrows were suspended, walked close to the water, retreated to the clipper, slightly injured internally, did not dare to fight again, so he entered the ship to rest, the strategists saw that the situation outside the ship was not good, so they made a move to Mo Zhuang, and made a move to "make something out of nothing", threatening that the fireworks were poisonous, but in fact, they were just cloud smoke arrows for help, and there was no poison. The plan worked, and the Clippers were able to escape.

Mo Zhuang's chest was full of anger, he couldn't sit still, and he scolded from time to time. All the civil and military officers followed him, standing silent, Mo Zhuang gradually felt that he had lost his dignity and dignity, suppressed his anger, and asked lightly: "The Huashan Sword Sect suddenly attacked and was ...... by Wei Chuan personally led the order to kill all my eagle head tents, which is really a crime that cannot be punished. What do you think?"

"Lord Hui, in the opinion of the following officials, the Huashan Sword Sect is Jiangye Caokou after all, self-proclaimed chivalrous, occupying the mountain as the king, it must not be trusted, one day it cannot be trusted, and it will never be trusted. Please go to the court and raise troops to exterminate them. ”

"My lord, what Lord Zhang said is extremely true, the rivers and lakes have the heart of rebellion, dare to attack the eagle's head account, have seen its wild heart, must be removed, when you arrive at Xiaoyaodu, you can adjust the army, kill the thieves in Wei Chuan. ”

When Mo Zhuang heard this, he nodded slightly, then shook his head and said: "Jin Yuzhang, in Wei Chuan's hands, I'm afraid that Jiangnan Dao is unwilling to lend troops to me, you must know that Jiangnan Dao and Luanjiang Dao have always been incompatible. ”

"The same court servants, loyal to the country, duty-bound, old and unbelievable, Jiangnan Dao dared to defend the army and ignore it. ”

"Yes, the Jiangnan Provincial Decree has always been arrogant and arrogant, does not take the civil and military officials in his eyes, has the tendency to be above the saint, and often makes assertions, conquers the east and the west, fills his own pockets, and does not report to the court, isn't it self-respecting to support the army. My lord, why don't you join him!"

When Mo Zhuang heard this, he secretly smiled bitterly, but at this time, there was no struggle for power, and the top priority was to get through this catastrophe, so he pretended to agree, nodded and said: "This seat has already had this heart, this matter cannot be rushed for a while, how to get out of the predicament now." ”

"All those who are old and scheming have a long-term plan, Wei Chuan will not raid my eagle's head tent for no reason, without being completely sure, and from being an enemy of the imperial court, wouldn't it be self-destructive future. At this time, someone said lightly, and his voice was vicissitudes.

As soon as Mo Zhuang heard it, he didn't need to look at it, he knew that it was his teacher Xu Zhong, who was already in the age of the sixtieth year, from childhood to adulthood, almost every day in his ear, mentioning some criticism, few praises, he wanted to kick Xu Zhong away, but his father's order was difficult to disobey, and this Xu Zhong had been rewarded by the emperor many times, and he couldn't move him, this time he was ordered to patrol the Quartet, his father recommended Xu Zhong to the emperor to accompany the staff, so he had to bring it, this way, he tried his best to avoid Xu Zhong, Xu Zhong didn't know, after a period of coldness, he was silent, and rarely spoke in the morning meeting, Mo Zhuang almost forgot him, at this time I heard him say this, the secret feeling was reasonable, and I couldn't help but light up in my heart, immediately got up and walked in front of the white-haired Xu Zhong, and asked softly, "The teacher has a good plan!"

Xu Zhong's eyes had been closed for a long time, and he didn't open his eyes at this time, and said lightly: "Master Mo has always been very confident!"

When Mo Zhuang heard this, he was confused, but he knew Xu Zhong deeply, and knew that Xu Zhong would not be able to explain the words, so he stopped asking, secretly pondered to himself, and listened to everyone's opinions.

This fast boat, riding the wind and waves, traveling faster than ordinary ships, arrived at Xiaoyaodu as soon as the day dawned. Mo Zhuang went to the bow of the ship early in the morning to keep watch. In the distance, the green mountains are verdant, stretching and undulating, the river reflects the rising sun, the waves are sparkling, and the lonely sail boats are dotted in the meantime. When he got closer, he could see men and women standing on each boat, looking at Mo Zhuang's clipper suspiciously, which made Mo Zhuang feel a strange thing. When it was about three miles away from the ferry, the boats of all sizes became denser from Shuxi, and the people on each boat were much larger. Facing the fast boat, the three big ships sailed with the flag of the Jiangnan Provincial Order on their sails. When the two ships were close, they each dropped anchor and dropped sails. When everyone from Jiangnan Province saw Mo Zhuang, they immediately greeted him, which was also unexpected. The man at the head was a thin man, and he said to Mo Zhuang flatly: "The little one is ordered by General Xue to come to meet him." ”

Mo Zhuang replied: "Thank you, please lead the way!"

"Please come aboard the Eagle King. ”

Mo Zhuang wanted to climb the ladder, but unexpectedly, a strategist whispered in his ear: "Once your lord gets on the boat and walks out of the defense, General Xue Changdong Xue is a well-known old treacherous and cunning, be careful!"

As he was talking, he saw a silver-armored general, dressed up, this person was in his early fifties, his face was full of red light, and he was followed by civil and military generals, who were also arrogant. After coming to the edge of the ship, he looked down at the Mozhuang clipper, saw Mo Zhuang, pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly stepped on the sloping ladder to go over, but retracted his feet and said with a smile: "The last general Xue Changdong participated in Lord Zuoli, please forgive the last general for being old and faint, and he didn't dare to step down the ladder to greet the adult!"

Mo Zhuang said with a smile: "Lord Xue doesn't have to be formal, if you want to talk about the year, Lord Xue is still a senior?"

"I can't help it, I can't help it, this is a bit too much...... Oh, and please board the boat and enter the ......."

"Report, five miles ahead, the Huashan Sword Sect ferry is coming, and a large number of ships are all gathered close and sailing together!"

"Well, I was also ordered to investigate. ”

"Yes!"

"Lord Mo...... Master Mo, do you want to see the demeanor of the various sects in the martial arts?"

Mo Zhuang heard the report, secretly surprised, did not expect Wei Chuan people, it would be so fast, it was close to the ferry, couldn't help but look back, a look into the reality, really found that the distant ships gathered together, the river surface connected into a line, gradually thickened, it can be seen that the speed is extremely fast, thinking that if Wei Chuan chases, he will definitely not give up, this surnamed Xue knows that I Cheng Clipper is forced to flee, pretending not to know, and asking me to stay and inspect the ship, well, this seat will simply stay, don't let you have a head and no brain, a little bit of foolishness, just arrogant and unmanned martial arts to look down, if Wei Chuan comes to fight with me, if you don't escort, you will definitely participate in your collusion with the rivers and lakes, deliberately rebelling, so he smiled and said: "General Xue has good tea here?" "I'd rather have no wine and meat, but also have tea to drink, although there is no good tea here, but it is also an ordinary person who is not blessed, please enter." ”

"Look at this day is clear, the cool breeze is coming, here facing the Cangjiang River, backed by the green mountains, tasting tea and enjoying the scenery, isn't it happy. Mo Zhuang said and smiled.

Xue Changdong also smiled, and then ordered someone to put refreshments on the table and drink tea with Mo Zhuang. In fact, both of them were waiting for the Huashan Sword to send a ferry to come, each with their own thoughts. Mo Zhuang and Wei Chuan fought, how could Xue Changdong not know. Jiangnan Dao Ling has already received a secret report, Mozhuang wants to go Xiaoyaodu, so he sent Xue Changdong to garrison, Xue Changdong arrived in Xiaoyaodu half a month ago, set up camp, and then ordered people to inspect the river within a radius of 100 miles day and night. Xue Changdong was summoned last night, and the Huashan Sword Sect and the Eagle Head Tent suddenly fought, and the Eagle Head Tent was defeated and fled by fast boat. After Xue Changdong got the report, not only did he not send troops to help, but also ordered the whole army to pretend not to know about the fighting between the two sides. Secretly thinking about how to take the opportunity to get rid of Mo Zhuang, but at this time, there were still dozens of strong men on the clipper, all of whom were not good, and they were not rabble, so they did not start, since the Huashan Sword Sect was about to arrive, so they wanted to secretly help the Huashan Sword Sect and kill people with a knife. Mo Zhuang knew that Jiangnan Dao Ling had a heart of disobedience, and he had no fear of Dashun Wang Wei, and he would not put it in his eyes, but the people who came this time were all good, as long as they were not blind, they could see that Xue Changdong would not make a move easily, but Wei Chuan was approaching, and he had to think of a way to provoke a dispute between him and Wei Chuan, and take the opportunity to get rid of Wei Chuan, so as to prevent future troubles, which would definitely cause Xue Changdong to be damaged, so he secretly calculated.

Huashan Jian sent a ferry, disobeyed the laws and regulations of our army, made enemies of our army, openly violated each other, and injured our soldiers...... And it's getting close! Please General Xue give an order, and the last general will send troops to meet the battle......"

Xue Changdong got the report, and said thoughtfully: "You might as well get out of the way and let the Huashan Sword Sect arrive!"

"This ......"

Xue Changdong immediately reprimanded his subordinates and said: "In the situation of water warfare, our army may not be able to take advantage, it is better to lead it into the urn!"

"Yes!"

Since then, Huashan Sword has sent several large ships to the shore smoothly. Wei Chuan and the others, standing on the deck, looked at Mo and Xue. The disciples of the Huashan Sword Sect saw Mo Zhuang at a glance, and the look of anger was written on his face, and he scolded: "Where is the dog thief, kill him!"

"Kill the Mo dog thief and avenge my junior sister!" For a while, the Huashan Sword Sect echoed up and down, and the momentum was terrifying. When Xue Changdong heard this, he sighed secretly: "If our army has such a bloody man, why worry about the great cause!" Mo Zhuang was suspicious in his heart: "When did I touch your junior sister, it really makes sense." ”

Wei Chuan raised his right hand at this time, waited for the four to be quiet, and hugged his fists to Mo Zhuang and Xue Changdong and said: "Wei Guan, the eldest disciple of the Huashan Sword Sect in Xia Nai, was ordered by the master to go to the meeting and pass through here, I don't know how offended the general is stationed here!"

"It's easy to say, my Dashun court has a long relationship with all factions in the rivers and lakes, and they are all their own brothers, why do you say this. However, Ben was ordered to run an errand, inspect the passing ships according to the routine, order the westward route, and ask Wei Daxia to make it convenient. Xue Changdong said with a smile on his face.

Wei Chuan also smiled and said, "Thank you, General!" As he spoke, he looked at Mo Zhuang again, and continued: "Since the general is here, I have something to ask for below!"

Wei Chuan claimed to be Wei Guan, the eldest disciple of the Huashan Sword Sect, which made Mo and Xue have their own doubts, Xue Changdong thought to himself: "This Huashan Sword Sect is really big, when I saw this general, the helper came out to visit, and I actually assigned a disciple to come over, hmph, since this is the case, you can't easily let go of the past." However, he still laughed and said: "I don't know what Wei Daxia is, as long as I can do it, I will help you." ”

Wei Chuan bowed, pointed at Mo Zhuang and said: "This person is Mo Zhuang, the eagle head of the eagle head tent of the imperial court, born with a dignified appearance, a dignified and decent atmosphere, and he is really well-dressed......."

"The surname is Wei, you don't want to spew blood, what does my Mo Zhuang do to you, you ask yourself. Mo Zhuang was furious when he heard this, and asked loudly.

Wei Chuan saluted Xue Changdong and said: "This Mo Zhuang boy is cunning and careful, he is a messenger of the imperial court, and he is respectful to him, but he bullies the little girl and ignores her and tarnishes her innocence!"

"Yike...... The surname is Wei, you are really a villain who will take revenge......"

Xue Changdong didn't wait for Mo Zhuang to finish scolding, so he saluted Mo Zhuang seriously, and then said loudly: "I am a Dashun dynasty, the law is strict, and I will never condemn people to ...... according to the words of the family" said and whispered to Mo Zhuang: "Don't be anxious, if this surnamed Wei is empty and unfounded, he will be taken down immediately and sentenced to the official." Then he asked Wei Chuan and said: "What Wei Daxia said is indeed heartbreaking, but to catch a thief, you still need to catch dirty, don't talk without evidence, otherwise according to the law of our dynasty, you will have to eat sin." ”

When Wei Chuan heard this, he immediately took out the golden jade seal in his arms, and said: "This is an official jade seal, it must be left by Mo Zhuang, please take a look at it!"

Mo Zhuang was so angry that he almost vomited blood, pointed at Wei Chuan, his eyes cracked, and he said one word.

"This jade is made by the ancestors, called the Golden Jade Medal, with this jade can be used to dispatch troops everywhere 30,000, only the heads of the departments can wear it!" Saying that, Xue Changdong took the jade pendant in his hand and showed it to everyone, then turned his face to look at Mo Zhuang, and continued: "Presumably, here, only Lord Mo is qualified to wear this jade, if it is not owned by Lord Mo, only Lord Mo needs to show the gold and jade medal." ”

The golden jade medal was made by the ancestors, and it was given to the head of each department, and 30,000 troops could be transferred anywhere, which was of great importance. Mo Zhuang is the owner of the eagle's head tent, the gold and jade tent is worn with him, if he accidentally loses it, he is also guilty of defrauding the king, Xue Changdong has expected that this jade is owned by Mo Zhuang, and he is determined to be guilty of the death penalty of Mo Zhuang. Mo Zhuang only knew at this time that Xue Changdong was really treacherous, but the evidence was ironclad, and what was the quibble, so he said coldly: "This jade was given to this Wei Daxia by this seat, and the general didn't know that this Wei Daxia was already my eagle head account and the Red Eagle Constellation, and he was above the column, so this seat rewarded him with this jade." ”

Xue Changdong pretended to be surprised and said: "Could it be that Lord Mo has forgotten the teachings of the ancestors, the government and the opposition have forgotten, they do not offend each other, and they do not go on a blind date, Lord Mo actually ...... Forgive this will be rude!" Speaking of this, seeing Mo Zhuang's face turned purple, he deliberately closed his mouth and retreated.

Wei Chuan sneered at this time: "What the Eagle King said, there is evidence. ”

When Xue Changdong heard this, he immediately said: "Yes, Master Mo, if you don't have evidence to include in the account, you haven't violated the ancestors' testaments, and you only need to clarify the suspicion of Jin Yuzhang to close the case." ”

"The evidence is conclusive, what else is there to say in this seat!" Mo Zhuang said lightly.

Wei Chuan immediately said: "Since that's the case...... I also asked General Xue to testify and wait for justice. ”

"Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, since Lord Mo has already admitted it, there is no need to say more, he will immediately report to the imperial court and wait for the seizure!" Xue Changdong said, shook his head, and suddenly sighed: "The law of the country is ruthless, Lord Mo should not commit such a heinous crime!"

Wei Chuan said: "The crime committed by Mo Zhuang is a capital crime, please tell the general!"

Lord Xue shook his head and said, "Capital crime? ”

The implication of his words is that Mo Zhuang's crime is punished by death, and the heavy one is beheaded, Wei Chuan heard it, and immediately said: "In this case, please also ask the general not to send a report for the time being, and hand Mo Zhuang into the hands of his subordinates, and he is willing to fight with Mo Zhuang and fight for life and death." ”

When Xue Changdong heard this, he secretly rejoiced, and said softly to Mo Zhuang: "Master Mo, what do you think?"

Mo Zhuang's mind was full of thoughts, thinking that if it was really a report, this Xue Changdong would definitely add oil and vinegar, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, both afraid and hateful of the eagle's head account, and impeached him many times, and he had already had the heart to get rid of the future, and he would not let it go, and when the time came, I was afraid that he would really have to be beheaded and punished by the nine clans, so he sneered: "Okay, this seat is willing to accept this punishment." ”

"My lord!" At this time, everyone in the eagle-headed tent knelt down in unison, begging Mo Zhuang to take back his fate.

"The prince breaks the law and sins with the common people, let alone you and me...... Haha, Wei Daxia's martial arts are world-famous, Mo has long had the heart to seek advice and guidance, since this is the case, please ask Wei Daxia to give advice!" After Mo Zhuang finished speaking, he laughed again, then took off his cloak, held the Tenglong Sword in his hand, and jumped onto the Huashan Sword Sect ferry.
