Chapter 79: Hold Zhu Cun hostage

Views:

At this time, Yue Pengju was calm and composed. Facing the opponent's long spear, Yue Pengju lightly knocked on the horse's belly and rode forward. The other party wanted to take your life, what else can you do at this time? No matter what you say, it will be redundant. Facing people with bad intentions, meaningless arguments will only make you look cowardly.

Kou Yanqing tore through the warm wind with his long spear, extremely ferociously, like a one-horned rhinoceros, carrying a roar that broke the wind, and rushed towards Yue Pengju's chest.

Yue Pengju's face was solemn and fearless. He swung the Liquan Spear in his hand, which turned into a swaying crazy giant python, and lashed it fiercely at the side of Kou Yanqing's spear. With a "bang" sound, the spear hit the spear accurately, and instantly made Kou Yanqing's attack on the chest deviate from the direction and swing to the side.

The scene was like a rhinoceros running madly, suddenly being whipped by a long whip, and the whole body was whipped and tilted to one side.

After swinging the opponent's spear away, Yue Pengju held the spear in his hand and exerted a little force. The spear, which was originally swaying and shaking, straightened instantly. With the spear in his hand, Yue Pengju did not hesitate and stabbed forward. The tip of the spear pointed directly at Kou Yanqing's throat. Such a sharp stab frightened Kou Yanqing.

Even the few people around Zhu Cun who knew a little about martial arts could see that Yue Pengju was indeed no ordinary person. Not only did he neutralize Kou Yanqing's stab to the chest in an instant, he also took the opportunity to counterattack and launched a fatal attack.

Such a reaction, coupled with such precise control of the spear, would not have been possible without years of hard work. It was obvious that the other party was an expert with a spear.

This also confirmed that Kou Yanqing had never lied to them. However, Kou Yanqing always claimed to be a master, and the people on the opposite side did not take his experience seriously. They believed that Kou Yanqing would be able to handle it.

It can be seen that Kou Yanqing often brags about himself, but it doesn’t matter if you brag at ordinary times. The key is that when your bragging makes others believe it, you may end up hurting yourself.

Faced with such a sharp attack, although everyone saw how powerful he was, they were still full of confidence in him and had no intention of helping him. This was a good thing for Yue Pengju. The Liquan Spear flew as fast as lightning and as agile as a dragon, instantly forcing Kou Yanqing into a desperate situation.

Kou Yanqing's face flushed red, and he thought to himself, not good, how could Yue Pengju be so powerful? In a hurry, he only had time to turn his head, and the spear instantly passed by his ear.

"puff"

"ah"

A sharp sound of wind, accompanied by a shrill scream, suddenly burst out, immediately shocking everyone. This was only the first round. Could it be that Kou Yanqing, who usually boasted about himself, couldn't even make it through the first round

With this doubt, Zhu Cun's party and others looked over in surprise, and saw that although Kou Yanqing dodged Yue Pengju's spear, he did not dodge it completely, and one of his ears was actually pierced by the spear.

This scene completely shocked everyone. As the horses of both sides collided, due to inertia, Kou Yanqing's ear that was pierced was torn off by the Liquan Spear. How could Kou Yanqing, who had always been delicate and fragile, endure such pain

Hearing the screams, Zhu Cun and the others immediately changed color. In less than one round, Kou Yanqing, who always boasted of being the bravest among the three armies in front of them, suffered a serious blow.

Yue Pengju was by no means an ordinary warrior. His martial arts skills were obviously beyond their expectations.

But before they could react and make other plans, they saw the two horses of Yue and Kou collided with each other. At this moment, Yue Pengju suddenly stretched out his hand and drew the long sword at his waist. With a "clang" sound, silver light suddenly appeared, and a ray of light instantly cut out. When Kou Yanqing reached out to cover his injured ear, the ray of light appeared in front of him, and suddenly, it cut across his neck. The ray of light flew away, and flew behind him in an instant.

Yue Pengju was on horseback, riding without stopping, without even looking at Kou Yanqing who had crossed the line and was riding in the opposite direction of him. He saw Kou Yanqing holding a sword in one hand and a gun in the other, and rushing towards Zhu Cun and others alone.

When the guards and generals protecting Zhu Cun saw Yue Pengju rushing towards him with ill intentions, their expressions changed drastically and they said angrily:

"Asshole, how dare you."

"How dare you, this is the second brother of the general manager."

"Stop being so arrogant, you bastard. I'm going to kill you."

... ...

Yue Pengju turned a deaf ear to these people's shouting. Whether he could escape today depended on whether he could put his plan into practice next. How could he relax

At this time, Kou Yanqing, who was the first to provoke the trouble, was carried by his own warhorse for several meters and then fell off the horse with a "thump". The head on his neck rolled far away. At this time, everyone realized that Kou Yanqing had already been beheaded by Yue Pengju with a sword, and he was deader than dead.

But it was too late for them to be surprised. In the blink of an eye, Yue Pengju rushed into the crowd with his horse. He stabbed with his spear like rain and swung his sword like a waterfall, accompanied by countless miserable howls, which suddenly resounded over the ancient road.

In less than half a cup of tea, all the soldiers and generals who followed Zhu Cun were killed by Yue Pengju.

As for the general Zhu Cun, he was also captured alive by Yue Pengju. Fortunately, this place was close to Qinshui River and not many people came and went. After Yue Pengju finished everything, he ordered Tan Erhu to hide the bodies of these people quickly, while intensifying the interrogation of Zhu Cun.

Faced with such a brave and fearless Yue Pengju, Zhu Cunse shivered and had to cooperate, telling him everything he knew. It turned out that Zhu Wen stationed troops in Qinshui not only to guard Henan Prefecture, but also to monitor pedestrians heading north, hoping to find Zhu Li's whereabouts. If he could capture Zhu Li and send his head to Tian Lingzi, he would obviously be able to hold on to the strong thigh of the eunuch.

After finding out the purpose of these people, Yue Pengju made a bold decision. Not only did he not release Zhu Cun, he also forced Zhu Cun to take him to Qinshui Camp, which was controlled by Zhu Cun. But now that Zhu Cun fell into Yue Pengju's hands, naturally, everyone else in the camp would do whatever Yue Pengju said, and no one could afford the risk of Zhu Cun getting into trouble.

Yue Pengju selected forty or fifty guards from the camp and coerced Zhu Cun to take these guards, protect Tan Erhu and three carriages, and march to Jincheng in a swagger. Then, in the name of Zhu Wen, they advanced northward along the Hedong Road.

------Dividing line------

Zhu Li and Yang Zaixing, after bidding farewell to Yue Pengju, Tan Erhu and others, crossed the Yellow River and headed southeast. On the way, they encountered several

Surrounded by waves of assassins and fighting bloody battles, after nearly a month's journey, they finally escaped to Yangzhou.

The assassins encountered had complex origins, some were from the secret guards of the Shence Army, and some were assassins under Li Xiaochang. What made Zhu Li feel strange was that most of them were Dangxiang and Shatuo people.

He could understand why there were so many Dangxiang people, but he couldn't understand why there were so many Shatuo people.

How could he know that when Zhou Dewei and Meng Juehai heard the news that he was severely injured by Li Keyong's Flying Tigers, fell into the Weishui River and his life or death was unknown, they were so angry that they actually broke into Li Keyong's temporary nest Daizhou. Meng Juehai was filled with righteous indignation and even tortured and killed Li Keyong's father Li Guochang, which led to Li Keyong sending out his assassins to hunt down Zhu Li like crazy.

Now Zhu Li not only bears the hatred of the genocide of the Dangxiang people, but also the hatred of Li Keyong for killing his father. Li Sigong and Li Keyong, both of them were furious and mobilized their assassins to hunt down Zhu Li, and there was a reason for that.

However, if Li Cunxiao had not arrived, both of them were highly skilled, and Zhu Li's internal injuries were getting better day by day. These fly-like assassins did not cause much damage to them. At most, they just made them flee in embarrassment.

Amid the layers of pursuit and blockade, the two men were only concerned with avoiding the assassins and did not pay attention to the direction they were heading. A few days later, they entered Yangzhou exhausted and took refuge in an inn in Gaoyou County.

In the restaurant, Yang Zaixing, who had just come back from gathering information, was reporting intelligence to Zhu Li with a look of evil interest on his face: "Envoy, we are now in Gaoyou, Yangzhou, under the jurisdiction of Gao Pian. The commander of Gaoyou is a man named Bi Shiduo, who was originally a surrendered general of the Cao army. But now this green-headed man is not doing well. The power of the entire Yangzhou seems to be in the hands of an alchemist."

Zhu Li was surprised when he heard this, and asked curiously: "Green-headed old man and alchemist are in power, what kind of mess is this?"

Hearing this, Yang Zaixing smiled bitterly and said, "Ever since Gao Pian defeated the Cao army's eastern route army heading south three years ago and captured Bi Shiduo, Qin Yan and others, he had a grudge against the old eunuch because of Tian Lingzi's unfair reward. He was unwilling to listen to the eunuchs' orders anymore, so he led hundreds of thousands of troops and retreated to Yangzhou, not caring about worldly affairs."

"As for the alchemists in power, we have to start with Gao Pian himself. I don't know what kind of love potion Gao Pian took, but he actually believed that there were immortals in this world. Through the introduction of Yu Gongchu, a general under his command, he met an alchemist named Lu Yongzhi. Under the instigation of this alchemist, he devoted himself to refining elixirs and practicing Taoism, and ignored worldly affairs. As a result, the power of Yangzhou fell into the hands of Lu Yongzhi, Zhang Shouyi and others. This led to the situation in which alchemists were in power in Yangzhou." Yang Zaixing patiently reported the news he had obtained to Zhu Li.

As for Gao Pian's belief in the art of immortality, Zhu Li had also heard a little about it, but he had only seen it in history books before, which was far less detailed than what he had heard from people around him in person when he was living in the modern era.

"Speaking of cuckolds, we have to talk about Lü Yongzhi." Yang Zaixing seemed to have opened up his chatterbox, gossiping with a sense of evil, "Lü Yongzhi is a villain. I heard that he was raised by his uncle. This guy received his uncle's kindness, but not only did he not know how to repay his uncle, he stole his uncle's property and sold it, and used it all for eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. When his uncle found out, he refused to change his ways, so he was kicked out of the house."
