The fog filled the air, and a group of soldiers and horses was passing through the road between the mountains.
The scholars were disheartened and weak, and no one spoke during the march.
This is the defeat of the Tianwangzhai all the way, there are only less than a thousand people left, and the morale is low, and Lu Longchuan is among them.
With a look of exhaustion on his face that could not be concealed, he frequently observed the back and surroundings, looking alert, like a bird frightened.
Since the real Yufeng was poisoned and assassinated by Nei Hao, Chen Feng took the initiative to attack the fortress and the war situation turned sharply.
Tianwangzhai was defeated in a big way, and had to fight and run. Under the strong pursuit of Longwangzhai, the large troops retreated and fell apart. Some people were killed and others were captured.
Now Lu Longchuan is surrounded by only a dozen leaders such as Sun Rong and Shi Hu. That Master Yufeng, even when he was defeated, ran away with his disciples without a trace.
The soldiers and horses he led had broken their tails to survive, barely broke through the siege and killed them. Now they have been fleeing for many days, they are exhausted.
After being defeated in such a situation, Lu Longchuan knew that there was nothing he could do, and he only had one thought, and that was to throw away the pursuers and escape from Huyang.
He looked around at the dejected defeated soldiers, and when he thought of the huge power of Tianwangzhai, there were only a few people left, and his heart was bleeding.
Decades of foundation, once lost!
It hurts, it hurts so much!
"傂… "
Lu Longchuan suddenly groaned and covered the wound under his ribs.
"Brother, can you hold on?"
Shi Hu hurriedly came over with a concerned tone.
"Huh... I'm fine. I haven't seen it for many years, and Guo Haishen's martial arts are more and more amazing, and they are stronger than I was in the past."
Lu Longchuan exhaled with a complicated expression.
In the previous battle, he fought against Guo Haishen in the chaos of the army.
Many years ago, when he was the "King of Heaven", the overlord of the Green Forest, Guo Haishen once went to the North to challenge him.
But now, he is old and his martial arts have regressed, and Guo Haishen has cultivated a lot of advanced martial arts, and his skills are very good. .
He sighed in his heart, both feeling sorry for himself and sighing the impermanence of fate,
At this time, in the fog ahead, a mountain with a strange shape appeared, with a steep terrain.
Lu Longchuan hurriedly ordered the entire army to stop, and immediately called the horse to the front of the team.
"Where is the place ahead? It's so sinister!"
Hearing this, Sun Rong pondered: "We have now fled to the southwest of Pingzhou, Huyang, where there are many mountains and dense forests. I see that the mountain in front of me looks like an oolong entangled in the mountain, which should be the lock dragon that the locals call it. ridge."
Lock Dragon Ridge!
Lu Longchuan's heart skipped a beat, and he only felt that it was bad luck.
Sun Rong continued: "The map shows that there is a small path in Suolongling. If you can find a guide to lead the way, you can go directly through it, which can save a lot of distance. After leaving Suolongling, there is a big road, which leads directly to Pingzhou Prefecture, and then Continue to march for a few days, and you will be able to leave the Huyang boundary, and then you will be safe,"
Lu Longchuan subconsciously refused to enter the Suolong Ridge, and said, "I see the terrain ahead is dangerous, there may be an ambush, why don't you take a detour?"
Sun Rong frowned: "The soldiers are very fast. If we go around, we will not be able to delay for a day or two. Once the soldiers arrive, we will have no way to escape. Now we only have the remnants of defeated soldiers. If Longwangzhai can rush ahead of us, it would be better to go directly. Show up and stop me waiting:"
"That's… okay."
Lu Longchuan thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
He sent out a scout to look for people nearby, and soon found a small village with less than 100 households, mostly local hunters
Seeing soldiers approaching the door, the villagers were very vigilant and took out their hunting bows or pitchforks.
Lu Longchuan didn't want to have troubles, and said he just wanted to cross the mountain and find a guide.
Because Longwangzhai is very popular in Huyang, he is quite wary of the local villagers and dare not report his name, just pretending to be an ordinary deserter all the way.
At the same time, he also carefully observed the expressions of the villagers. If he found any difference, he immediately ordered to kill them.
The villagers looked at each other, seemingly undecided.
At this time, a strong and healthy young man walked out and said solemnly:
"I am a hunter in this village. I am very familiar with the mountains and forests. I am willing to be a guide to take you across the mountains, but I beg the soldiers and gentlemen not to hurt the villagers."
Lu Longchuan nodded: "I just want to cross the ridge quickly. If you cooperate, I will not bother you."
"It's a deal, allow me to appease the villagers a few words, and we'll set off from here."
The young man nodded, turned around and whispered a few words to the villagers, as if to comfort him, and then walked into the army of Lu Longchuan.
Lu Longchuan had been observing, but he didn't notice anything unusual. He asked if someone from Longwangzhai had come recently. After getting the unanimous denial of the villagers, he let the guide lead the way, and the group entered the mountain.
This young man is indeed an old hunter, walking in the mountains and forests like walking on the ground, and he is quite familiar with the path.
Seeing the young man's vigorous steps and good skills, Lu Longchuan couldn't help asking, "What's your name? I think you're agile, but have you practiced martial arts?"
The young man nodded and replied casually:
"The villain's name is Lu Sheng, and he has indeed practiced it. In this Huyang realm, who can't handle a few crops? Especially those like us who have lived and hunted, don't practice some superficial martial arts. Any day we encounter a beast, we will run away. Can't run."
Lu Longchuan nodded silently, which was not surprising.
Having stayed in Huyang for so long, he is no stranger to the abundance of martial virtues of the local villagers.
After all, Chen Feng was unscrupulous in spreading martial arts, and even the tongue twisters of the villagers and children might be the secret formulas of the martial arts secret books of some major school.
With Lu Sheng leading the way, this troop did not move slowly, and soon went deep into Suolongling.
But seeing the mist in the forest and the shadows of the trees, although it was daytime, the sight was quite dim.
Lu Sheng wiped his sweat and said, "Follow this path for another two hours or so, and you will be able to leave the mountain before dark."
"That's good." Lu Longchuan exhaled,
Along the way, he had been on guard all the time, for fear of an ambush, but there was no movement, which finally gave him a lot of peace of mind.
However, at this moment, in the woods not far away, a clattering sound suddenly sounded, as if many people were running and approaching.
At the same time, a thunderous shout suddenly sounded in the forest:
"Hahaha, it really came!"
"I'm waiting for the ambush here, the only way to go, but it's not in vain!"
"Longwangzhai is here, don't let it be surrendered soon!"
"Hugh is leaving the enemy!"
With a loud cry of killing, Lu Longchuan and his group were instantly shocked.
"What, there is actually an ambush!" Sun Rong was shocked.
The team directly blew up the pot, and the soldiers, who were already demoralized, did not wait for the leader's command, and fled in the opposite direction of the shouting, panicking, throwing away their armor and armor, and quickly scattered in the misty forest.
The leaders such as Lu Longchuan were already frightened by Chen Feng, and they didn't dare to stay to fight, so they turned around and ran away.
Behind them, the screams of killing are always with you, near and far,
Unknowingly, Lu Longchuan and others have been chased and changed directions several times.
Suddenly, a group of people stepped on the air and exclaimed that they fell into a hole trap camouflaged by thin leaves, and a short bamboo spear was set in the hole.
Plop plop!
The group hurriedly turned around to dodge, but still got hit and was pierced by a bamboo spear, screaming in pain, and bleeding profusely.
Most of the people were pierced by bamboo spears, and their bodies were covered in green armor. Bamboo spears were difficult to penetrate and would not directly kill them.
Lu Longchuan's shoulder and calf were pierced, and he was sweating profusely in pain.
At this moment, figures appeared on the edge of the cave. They were all the villagers from before, all dressed as hunters. The leader was Lu Sheng who had led the way.
At this time, the group of hunters drew bows and arrows and aimed at everyone in the cave.
"Wait, don't move, or else the arrows will be fired, and I will teach you to die under ten thousand arrows piercing your heart!"
Lu Sheng shouted loudly.
Lu Longchuan was shocked, and immediately said angrily: "You are from Longwangzhai?! You are a guide specially to lead us into this trap?!"
Lu Sheng did not change his face, and said solemnly:
"You're wrong, this hole is a trap for trapping animals, and we are not from Longwangzhai, so I'll tell you to understand it today!
You gang of defeated soldiers are looking for a guide. After this is done, they will definitely kill me and silence me. I can only do it first.
When Lu Sheng was in Huyang, our life was much more comfortable than usual. If you came to the imperial court, you would take away the good days we were waiting for. If it weren't for your power, I would have to cut off the heads of a few officers and soldiers. It's uncomfortable, just in time, I lack a certificate to join the team. You guys are wearing armor and helmets. In my opinion, most of them are generals in the army. If you catch you, you will be considered meritorious. After I go up the mountain, I can be a leader. "
Hearing this, Yu Feng's face trembled with anger and his whole body trembled.
He thought he was ambushed by the enemy, but he did not expect to be planted in the hands of a group of rural people!
It's really the hands of an eighty-year-old woman who is a fine child!
Shame!
"Brother, don't panic, wait until I kill this group of foolish villagers and go out!"
Shi Hu suddenly stood up and roared loudly, ignoring the bamboo spear stuck in his body, he was about to stare at the wall and jump to the ground, kicking off a killing spree.
"Fire arrows!"
Without hesitation, Sun Rong let go.
Boom boom boom!
There was a sound of bowstrings, and more than a dozen arrows flew out of the air, and Du Duo shot Shi Hu into a hedgehog.
"Two tigers!"
Xi Yicai's eyes were about to split, and a force surged up in his body, which temporarily suppressed the pain, jumped up directly, and slashed at Sun Rong with a slash in the air.
The blade was whistling and the wind was blowing, containing the strength to cut gold and break jade.
However, Sun Rong was not afraid. He pulled out his waist knife to meet him. He actually blocked the powerful and heavy knife, and also restrained the leaping momentum of Yufeng, and counter-pressured the opponent who had nowhere to use the air. go down.
Even if Yufeng was not seriously injured and his skills were greatly reduced, Sun Rong could actually block the opponent's full-strength slash, and his martial arts were not weak.
That Yufeng was pushed back into the hole by a knife and wanted to jump up again. However, in the next moment, his body suddenly froze.
Just listening to a few noises, a few arrows nailed into his back,
But it was the hunter who was surrounded by the other side of the burrow.
Xi Yicai's eyes darkened, and the strength that he finally lifted suddenly dissipated, and his body was soft and weak.
"My life is over...
The Yufeng mouth bleeds, muttering to himself
When Chen Feng saw this, he couldn't take care of his injury anymore, so he quickly reported to his home and shouted.
"Stop it! Stop it! He is the leader of Tianwangzhai's family, Yufeng. We are all leaders of Tianwangzhai. If you leave us alive and send it to Xi Yi, it will be a great contribution to you!"
Sun Rong raised his brows, and immediately laughed happily, "Yo, it looks like I caught a big fish."
Somewhere in Pingzhou, Huyang, Longwanghan's pursuers are speaking
Lu Sheng rode on horseback, accompanied by a group of leaders, who were talking and discussing
"We chased for a long time, and most of the leaders of Tianwangzhai have been caught, but unfortunately we haven't found that Yufeng. I don't know where they went, and they have run out of the Huyang boundary, right?"
aiyueshuxiang.com
Hong Ding first said in a deep voice.
Lu Sheng said casually: "It doesn't matter, it's good to be able to grasp it, but it doesn't matter if it can't be grasped. Anyway, we have captured most of the people in Tianwangzhai, so the foundation of Yufeng has been lost, and even if we leave, it will not be a climate."
Fang Zhi touched his chin and said, "Second brother, I figured out why you used the alienation scheme. You want to subdue those leaders?"
Lu Sheng nodded: "It is true, but this is only one of the reasons. The other reason is that they are kind to the eldest brother, so try not to harm their lives."
Lu Longchuan sighed: "Alas, the two armies are sitting opposite each other, and they should have decided whether to live or die, and they should rely on their own means, but the second brother still wants to repay his kindness for his brother, and he is truly ashamed of his brother. If they don't want to surrender, That second brother, don't take my face into consideration, just kill it if it's time for you."
"Let's talk later," Xi Yi didn't respond.
At this moment, Duan Yunfeng suddenly sneered and said, "If it hadn't been for real Guo Haishen being poisoned by spies, we wouldn't have been able to win so much tension. Those treacherous officials in the courtroom, Gouguanjing, would fight in their dens, so I really didn't see them wrong."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile.
They were originally curious about why Yufeng Zhenren suddenly did not appear, but now that they have captured a large number of enemy troops, they naturally inquired about the situation and became more and more contemptuous of the imperial court.
In order to compete for power and profit, one's own people backstabbed one's own people, but instead they are cheap for these foreign enemies.
Everyone just felt that the gentlemen above the court were becoming more and more helpless, and they felt contemptuous in their hearts.
"This is the contempt of meat-eaters, and I can't plan far." Fang Zhen shook his head.
This is how this is used? Lu Longchuan scratched his head,
Duan Yunfeng paused for a while, and then said with regret: "Unfortunately, the real teacher Yicai ran away from the chaotic army. When he recovers later, he can contain the village owner. He is a formidable enemy. , you can cut off the right arm of the dog emperor."
"That's right." Fang Zhen agreed, and then said with a wicked smile: "However, Guo Haishen's family is really rich, and he brought so much gold and silver treasures, and in the end it was cheaper for us... I don't know what he meant by bringing these treasures to the expedition, it's difficult. Don't you want to enjoy while fighting?"
Hearing this, Xi Yi interrupted the conversation and interjected:
"Okay, don't think about it, let's go after Yufeng first."
Everyone should be.
At this moment, a cavalry scout came running from the front and shouted loudly!
"Report! There is a group of villagers blocking the road ahead. The leader calls himself Sun Rong, and he says he is a villager at the foot of Suolong Ridge. He has captured Yufeng and other leaders of Tianwangzhai and wants to offer prisoners to us!"
When everyone heard the words, their expressions changed immediately, and they were surprised and curious.
Lu Longchuan was shocked: "That Xi Yicai was planted in the hands of a group of villagers? Is it true or false?"
Lu Sheng raised his brows and laughed.
"This is really easy to come by, brothers, come with me to greet Commander Lu!"
