"what!"

At this moment, the three guards who were stunned all sounded a cry of exclamation, which sounded in Jin Wushu's ears.

They also didn't understand until now that the sharp weapon that hit Jin Wushu was actually the scimitar that they had just routed secretly.

But just now, didn't they have clearly declared themselves dead for all the retreats of the emperor of the southern kingdom? !

However, the emperor of the Southern Kingdom, not even standing in front of their eyes until now, the breeze blowing on his clothes, he held Zhuo Li, looking at them with interest, but it seemed that from the beginning to the present He has not moved half of his footsteps, and even the slightest smile on his face has not changed in the slightest.

And his own Jinwushu Marshal, is now standing behind the southern emperor.

Just before that blow, the three of them and Jin Wushu each made a killer move to hit the southern emperor.

However, now they crossed by, the southern emperor was still standing there, and the scimitar that killed the southern emperor turned into a commander who attacked him? !

How did he avoid the almost mortal blow of his own group of people? !

If it weren't for the current strong enemy, the three guards almost couldn't help but stretch out their hands and rub their eyes to see if they were too nervous, and they all began to look dazzled.

It's just that they are the dead men who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they are determined and regained in a flash.

Although they still don't understand or understand what kind of tactics the southern emperor used to avoid this blow, they already know that the man standing in front of him with a smile and without the slightest murderous spirit, I am afraid it is a life. The worst enemy ever encountered.

But they didn't have the slightest idea of retreating. Instead, they were high-spirited. They exchanged glances with each other, uttered a drink, and wanted to try again.

"stop!"

At this moment, Jin Wushu exhaled and stopped drinking, stopping the actions of the three guards.

He raised his hand and threw the two scimitars he was holding at his guard. At the same time, he slightly hooked and threw the scimitar that was in the ground at its original owner. This was a step forward. Looking at Zhao Kuangyin, whose back was facing him, a wry smile appeared on his face.

Although he had not yet understood what kind of technique the Southern Kingdom emperor used to avoid the almost mortal blow between himself and the three guards, at least he now understands that he originally imagined it through When the southern emperor was in a state of confusion, the idea of uniting the power of three guards to kill him in one fell swoop was absolutely impossible.

Just because he was able to avoid the joint blow between himself and the three guards so quietly, he already knew that even if he and the three guards were determined to fight for their lives, he would definitely not be able to stop the southern emperor in front of him. .

Although he had already had a very high estimate of Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts attainments, if he had not personally experienced the terrifyingness of the Southern Kingdom emperor, he would never have imagined the martial arts cultivation of the man in front of him. It's almost the degree of supernatural power.

Zhao Kuangyin seemed to hear the surprise in Jin Wushu's heart. He turned around leisurely, but it seemed that he had only been fascinated by the mountain scenery just now, but he was completely ignorant of the final kill just now. Shu said: "Lianghui is rare. The mountain view here is quiet and comfortable, making people forget the world. Why not sit down and have a cup of tea, the handsome man."

Jin Wushu followed his eyes and found that the table was still in the same place. It had never been affected by the war before, and he couldn't help but his eyebrows were upset, but he was striving and enduring himself. , Smiled and nodded to Zhao Kuangyin: "Alright!"

Since the emperor of the Southern Kingdom is already incapable of using force, why not just sit back and watch the changes.

After all, the current self may not be regarded as completely lost!

That guard should be about to run down the mountain now!

It's just that the southern emperor in front of him, why didn't he make any interceptions just now, but now he is so calm as if there is nothing wrong with him.

If what he just said is true, then as long as the guard passes this order down the mountain, the more than 100,000 troops in the valley that have been depressed for so many days will move together, I am afraid that not only the lives of the Song troops under the mountain will be unsafe. Moreover, where the many angry Jurchen army passed through the Song realm, it was bound to be scorched everywhere, with corpses everywhere, not to mention that these cavalry troops who came and went like wind might even come in here, taking advantage of the time when the dragons were headless in the Southern Dynasty. Repeat the story of Bianliang City.

With the martial arts cultivation of the Southern Kingdom emperor, under such a high mountain and dense forest, no matter how many people and horses, I am afraid that he will not be able to stop him. That is why he only ordered the morale of the cavalry to break through the encirclement, not Turn to hunt around the mountain.

However, even if the southern emperor is confident in his martial arts and can come and go freely under any circumstances, he should have left early at this time. It is serious to plan early, so how can he still be here with himself? Wasted wrangling? !

Moreover, with his martial arts accomplishments just now, even though he was caught off guard just now, the Southern Kingdom emperor didn’t seem to have no chance of chasing down and killing the guard who was going to report to him, so why did he Still doing nothing

Is it possible that what he said just now is false? !

Is this a trap at all

impossible!

Jin Wushu immediately denied this idea.

If the army of the Song Kingdom really gathers here, if the army of the Song Kingdom is really as strong as it appeared on the surface, then after many days of waiting for work, it will defeat the Jurchen army that is now on the verge of collapse. Although it is bound to pay a tragic price, it is definitely not impossible.

Even as long as Song State drags on for a while, the 100,000 people under his account will bite the horse. If they don’t want to be dragged to death here, they must desperately seek an opportunity to break through in World War I. If the Song Dynasty emperor had come in person to make a peace talk with himself on this mountain top, even if it was because he was a master of art and daring and felt that he could not hurt him, it was really unnecessary.

The Song Dynasty emperor in front of him by no means seemed to be a person who likes to do meaningless things.

What's more, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, fighting for half of his life, and has so much experience in marching formations. Since entering the valley, he has been frightened by the Song army's momentum. He guarded the Chinese army and did not dare to stay away. The scouts were either killed by the Song army as soon as they left the camp, or they didn’t know what to do, and they still failed to convey a more accurate situation information to him, and also based on the original judgment of the emperor of the Song Dynasty and the marching cloth. The common sense of the formation made him really dare not imagine that someone would dare to resort to such adventurous tricks to lure the enemy, so he had always taken the intimidation of the Song army seriously, thinking that the Song Dynasty really gathered the army and did it here, and I have never really doubted the authenticity of Song Guo's military power.

However, since he left the camp today and set foot in this valley, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

This mountain range is intertwined horizontally and horizontally, and it is boundless, but if Song Jun really gathers hundreds of thousands of people and gathers here, even if the skill of hiding a trace is too clever, and he is familiar with the terrain, he should do it as before. It is extremely commendable to let myself be in the army in the slightest.

After all, the military formation on my own side was in an ambush as soon as it entered the valley, and among the mountains, thousands of peaks and valleys, intertwined vertically and horizontally, are really no more than a natural labyrinth, and hundreds of thousands of people on my side have lost their lives. They were cavalry. In such a terrain, their actions would have been greatly restricted, and when they first entered the valley, they were deterred by the Song army’s momentum. They have always been contracting and focusing to prevent the Song army from being sunless. The harassment and the possible sudden and large-scale impact strategy is that they have been trapped in that lowland these days, and there is no place to climb high and far. Jin Wushu thinks that if it is a different place, change it. Being yourself is the commander of the Song Army. It is not impossible to behave like Song Army if you are proficient in the terrain and can make full use of it.

Moreover, Jin Wushu was not unfamiliar with the battle mode of the Song Army and other divisions and Qi Junwei. After all, he had personally experienced such a tough battle just a few years ago.

That time, he was just taking advantage of the weaknesses of the Song Army's various ministries that were difficult to unify and coordinate with each other. He took his men and horses abruptly, and squeezed out from the gap between the ministries before the encirclement was really completed.

But this time, it was the emperor of the Song Dynasty who personally drove him in name. With his knowledge of the Song Dynasty emperor, he always felt that he would recruit almost all the troops capable of fighting in the Song Dynasty and gather here to protect them. Security and victory are things that are taken for granted.

So since he was initially deterred by the Song army’s overwhelming vigor, what has been bothering him these days is how to lead the crowd to break through the encirclement of the Song State army, but never follow another path. Think about the problem.

Therefore, until today, when he really walked out of the camp and walked through the mountains to observe, he only vaguely realized that there seemed to be another side to the matter.

After all, if there were hundreds of thousands of troops hiding in this forest, it would be hard to hide his observations when he came along.

For a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time like him, the eagles and birds sing, the wind direction of the vegetation, and even the situation of the insects and beasts in the forest can be the weather vane for him to judge the true location of the enemy.

After all, he has grown up between the white mountains and the black waters since he was a child, and the Jurchens of this generation who have really come out of the white mountains and black waters can proudly and proudly claim that they are the best in this world. hunter.

Although the mountains and forests here and the birds and beasts here are quite different from the white mountains and black waters, as a best hunter, even if they leave the white mountains and black waters and come to the mountains, they can still accurately smell the beasts and dangers.

So when he walked this way, he had already accumulated enough doubts in his mind, but at this moment, he suddenly ran into Zhao Kuangyin. He was shocked by the sense of surprise that came from that moment, but it was in his heart. Doubts were completely thrown aside.

After all, in the past ten years or so, although he has a sufficient estimate of the military power of the Song State, he also has a bit of sympathy for the several tigers and generals of the Song State, but he is also a cowardly and cowardly man who has been chased by him all the way into the sea. The emperor of the Song State always looked down upon him from beginning to end.

Suddenly, however, he discovered that the Southern Emperor, who had always been despised by him, was actually an invincible general on the battlefield, and even more so in this battle against him. In, step by step, he lured himself to the commander-in-chief of the Song army, who was almost indestructible. The performance in this battle was enough to make the sergeants of both Song and Jin fear the battle gods. The psychological contrast is already enough to make him feel agitated for a while, and it is difficult to extend his thoughts to other things.

What's more, Zhao Kuangyin's momentum, demeanor, and the serious impact on the overall situation between Song and Jin that may be brought about by confirming his identity, all made him have to fight for 120,000 points. To deal with it, the original doubts were washed away for a while.

But when Zhao Kuangyin spoke a little bit, he immediately remembered the problem he was aware of before, so he immediately asked questions, and Zhao Kuangyin actually admitted so openly and frankly.

If he hadn’t already had a rough judgment on the situation of Song’s military power in his original mind, he would never have taken Zhao Kuangyin’s words to admit that he immediately believed that it was true without hesitation. The guards used extraordinary means to send the decision to send the message to the foot of the mountain. After all, if Zhao Kuangyin admits more calmly according to common sense, he should spend a bit of thinking instead.

So after thinking about it, he finally felt that he could be sure that Song Jun was indeed a bluff, and he slightly let go of his distraction.

Perhaps, the Southern Kingdom’s emperor in front of him is already burning with anger in his heart now, just doing it.

But he raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Kuangyin in front of him, but he couldn't help but raise the heart that he had let go of a bit.

The Southern Kingdom emperor sat cross-legged in front of him, holding the pot and refilling the water, watching the rising heat of the small red clay stove, sometimes reaching out to measure the temperature of the pot, with a focused expression on his face, but there was a hint of anxiety.

Jin Wushu lived between the white mountains and the black waters since he was a child. When he was an adult, he followed his father Jin Guotaizu Wanyan Agu to fight the world. For more than ten years, he has been arrogant and has seldom stopped and idle. Afterwards, although the foundation of Dajin has gradually stabilized and his reputation has become stronger He, and since the founding of his capital, Jin has always been a high-ranking member of the Dajin Dynasty, but he has always maintained the mode of life in the barracks. He is obsessed with the Han people who like to play piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and tea hops. It is not contaminated, and it can even be described as disgusting.

In fact, whether the Jurchens or the Liao people, they grew up in the bitter cold land of Mobei since childhood. Zilai liked to sing and drink wine wildly. Even in the late period of the Khitan Liao state, there was a lot of extravagance and corruption in the court, but most of them were drinking. Sensual entertainment, not to mention the fact that Jurchens have just been established in the country. Except for the bright and beautiful people who have always wanted to include the Central Plains scenery into the territory, there are really not many people who are keen on the kind of the Central Plains Han. The so-called fun art that kills time.

Although tea is a small way, it has been said that since the Tang Dynasty, "tea and Zen blindly", so Zhao Kuangyin's behavior is normal in the eyes of any scholar in the Central Plains, but Jin Wushu knows nothing about the tea ceremony. , But how to see how something is wrong.

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin did not know how many times he studied the temperature of the water, Jin Wushu finally couldn't stand his temper, and said, "Your Majesty is free!"
