Chapter Twenty-Five: The Four Great Kou
Take people's money and eliminate disasters with others.
Zhang Xiao is not a person who accepts favors from others for nothing, he has always been repaid if there is kindness, and revenge must be avenged. Otherwise, it is really difficult to repay the debt of favors.
For example, Zhang Xiao has received great favors from Shi Qingxuan and Shang Xiufang, but if these two peerless beauties open their mouths to ask Zhang Xiao to give up fighting for world domination, what should they do?
Therefore, Zhang Xiao received the favor of Lu Miaozi, and naturally wanted to help him "eliminate disasters and solve problems".
Strictly speaking, Lu Miaozi has nothing to help Zhang Xiao, after all, Lu Miaozi's only enemy is Zhu Yuyan, but the grievances between the two are too complicated for outsiders to interfere.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao is not helping Lu Miaozi, but Lu Miaozi's baby daughter, Shang Xiuxun.
Pegasus Ranch is a tempting place that anyone who wants to make a career in the south will covet it, and in fact, except for Kou Zhong, who regards the battle for world domination as a game, the princes of the south have their eyes on this place.
The reason is simple, there are good horses here.
At a time when firearms had not developed to a certain extent, cavalry was the most formidable of all arms. Because except in certain circumstances, it is impossible for the infantry to catch up with the cavalry, that is, in the face of the cavalry, the infantry will inevitably fall into a situation of passive beating.
Mo said that in the south, except for the special place of Pegasus Ranch, there is no horse-producing land at all, even in the north, horses are still an important strategic resource, so anyone who is interested in competing for hegemony in the world is eyeing this place.
Of course, for Zhang Xiao, the importance of Pegasus Ranch is a little smaller, because the last four counties he controls are famous horse-producing areas. In fact, except for nomadic regimes such as the Turks. Zhang Xiaokong zhì has the largest number of war horses.
Although for Zhang Xiao, Pegasus Ranch is somewhat tempting. But compared to Lu Miaozi's value, it is a small thing.
Of course, this is just Zhang Xiao. And such as Du Fuwei, Xiao Milling, Li Mi and others are eyeing Pegasus Ranch.
Of course, for Pegasus Ranch, the biggest threat is the Big Four.
The reason is very simple, for the princes of all parties, they want to "occupy" the Pegasus Ranch, while the Four Great Kou want to plunder the Pegasus Ranch.
Therefore, when the princes of the Quartet tried to "cooperate" with the Pegasus Ranch, the "Four Great Kou" led their troops to attack the Pegasus Ranch.
Strictly speaking, it is not easy for the four big cowards to break through the Pegasus Ranch. It can even be said that it is impossible.
Because there are a large number of cavalry in the Pegasus Ranch, they are already invincible.
But the problem is that the four big cowards are not afraid of death, but Pegasus Ranch can't afford to die.
If too many soldiers in the Pegasus Ranch die, then the princes of all parties who are eyeing the Pegasus Ranch will definitely swallow the Pegasus Ranch in one go.
In fact, it is not difficult for Lu Miaozi to exterminate the four great cowards, but it is difficult to exterminate the four great cowards without damage.
Although Lu Miaozi was able to delay the attack of the Four Great Kou on Pegasus Ranch with the vertical and horizontal technique, after all, the symptoms were not cured.
That's why Lu Miaozi turned to Zhang Xiao for help.
And the extermination of the "Four Great Kou" is the "price" paid by Zhang Xiao for Lu Miaozi.
Although it is said to be exterminated, Zhang Xiao does not have the ability to kill all the tens of thousands of thieves by himself, and all Zhang Xiao has to do is "behead".
According to Lu Miaozi's message. Zhang Xiao easily found the four big Kou who were about to attack Pegasus Ranch.
Zhang Xiao fixed his eyes and saw that except for the four people with torches wrapped in white scarves on their heads, the others were dressed in different clothes, and they all had the bearing and demeanor of a master. Apparently the leader of the thieves.
The four people who took the lead were even more prominent, aged between thirty and forty, and looked strange.
One of them was a fat man with a short build. Short stature, short hands and feet. With a shy stomach, the flat head seems to grow directly from the fat shoulders.
Next to him was a stout one. There were two maces crossed into his back, his face was full of meat, and there was a big man with sarcoma on his forehead that made him even uglier.
There is also a tall and thin figure, looking like a bad ghost scholar, with two beards on his lips, a dust whisk on his back, and he is dressed in a nondescript manner.
Zhang Xiao swept it with his eyes, and estimated in his heart that these three should be the "no grass" among the four major Kou Xiang Batian's "chickens and dogs do not stay" Fang Jianding, and "scorched earth for thousands of miles" is boring.
As the saying goes, the thief captures the king first, although these three people are also "thief heads", but compared with the last thief Cao Yinglong, they are only small roles.
Because Cao Yinglong is Shi Zhixuan's disciple, and how can anyone who can have a relationship with Shi Zhixuan be a small role.
Just from the point of view, Cao Yinglong is a hundred times stronger than those three.
Cao Yinglong has a majestic figure, a pair of big ears, deep wrinkles on his forehead, high cheeks and sunken cheeks, and his eyes seem to be open and closed, giving people a deep impression of the city, a bit like an old pedant who doesn't like to talk.
Zhang Xiao took a light breath, then pulled out the Hundred Refining Steel Knife behind his back, and then gently fascinated his eyes.
The most important thing in this battle is a fast word, you should quickly kill Cao Yinglong, the "king of thieves", and then kill the three thieves Xiang Batian, Fang Jianding, and Mao Mao. As for the rest of the thieves, they don't have to worry about it.
Zhang Xiao waited for about thirty breaths, and after feeling that his heart had become unfazed, he jumped up and swung his knife thirty steps away.
Suddenly, a masculine knife force slashed in the direction of Cao Yinglong.
As a disciple of Shi Zhixuan, Cao Yinglong naturally knew very well about the art of assassination, so although Zhang Xiao's knife was abrupt, Cao Yinglong also reacted in time, grabbed the spear on the ground and won towards that knife.
But although Cao Yinglong caught Zhang Xiao's knife, he was extremely uncomfortable, and couldn't help but take two steps back, and his internal strength became a little disordered.
Zhang Xiao's cultivation of the Yellow Heaven Dafa is the pure yang kung fu of "the yang of the yang", coupled with the effect of the unicorn beard, it is the strongest internal strength, and Cao Yinglong's martial arts is the evil demon kung fu, so naturally he can't stand Zhang Xiao's internal strength.
Of course, if Cao Yinglong can take a few breaths, then he will naturally be able to return to normal, but Zhang Xiao will not give him this opportunity.
Zhang Xiao casually threw away the knife in his hand, gathered his palms as knives, and slammed into Cao Yinglong.
Cao Yinglong also had a few brushes, and a pair of spears were impenetrable, blocking Zhang Xiao's hand knife.
However, Cao Yinglong did not arrive first, in the face of his spear, Zhang Xiao did not retreat but advanced, and grabbed it with both hands suddenly, at the cost of being worn out of his hands, he passed through the gap between the spears and slammed into Cao Yinglong.
Cao Yinglong was taken aback, suddenly put down the double spears that had become extremely inconvenient, jumped up, retracted his palms and then slashed them flat, two pieces of sharp energy, but instead of attacking Zhang Xiao, he blocked Zhang Xiao's collision.
I have to say that Cao Yinglong's response can also be called an instant decision. In all fairness, although Zhang Xiao's martial arts are several points higher than Cao Yinglong's, if it is a face-to-face fight, it will be outside ten moves to be able to distinguish the winner and loser, but Zhang Xiao cannot have that long. After all, Xiang Batian and the others are not eating dry rice.
Frankly speaking, if he faced another person who was equivalent to Cao Yinglong, Zhang Xiao might fail today, after all, Zhang Xiao did not want to fall into the military formation.
But Zhang Xiao's opponent is Cao Yinglong, Shi Zhixuan's registered disciple.
Zhang Xiao looked at Cao Yinglong's palms slashed towards his body, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
Although Cao Yinglong didn't know why, his heart tightened suddenly, realizing that he seemed to have done something stupid.
It's a pity that Cao Yinglong didn't have time to change his moves, and his hands were already burned on Zhang Xiao's chest.
Cao Yinglong's palm strength is not weak, which makes Zhang Xiao feel like his blood is churning.
But Zhang Xiao was just churning in his blood, but Cao Yinglong felt a scorching internal energy emerge from his palm, and quietly seeped towards Cao Yinglong's twelve seriousness.
Cao Yinglong secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly used the true qi in his body to try to erase Zhang Xiao's internal strength.
But what Cao Yinglong never expected was that before he could mobilize his true qi, a sharp pain surged up from his qi sea acupoint, and he couldn't help but take a step back and slump to the ground.
Cao Yinglong's face showed a hint of fear, and he said to Zhang Xiao in a trembling voice, "But did the master send you to kill me?" (To be continued......)
