Xu Fengnian stood up suddenly, Chu Lushan didn't realize something was wrong until a little later, Xu Feng said youngly: "It's okay, don't worry, even if it is the worst result of tearing my face, I can still handle it now."
Dressed in a graceful figure, she suddenly rushed into the courtyard, and the female Bodhisattva with green hair was none other than the Master of the Six Beads of Mount Landa, the female fairy master who led hundreds of thousands of lonely souls out of Xiangfan City back then.
It's just that the scene at this time is a bit shocking. The robe of the master of the Western Regions is stained with blood and his face is pale. After seeing Xu Fengnian and Chu Lushan, he said sadly: "A guy named Zhongtan took the emperor's decree to Mount Landa. , Under the combination of inside and outside, I was able to escape because of the death of the two masters. I believe that soon there will be a decree issued to the thousands of monks and soldiers in Liuzhou, asking them to return to Mount Landa. Xu Fengnian, you should prepare early , even if you Liuzhou successfully force the monks to stay, I am afraid there will only be one hidden danger."
Xu Fengnian and Chu Lushan looked at each other, both feeling a little dignified. The victory brought by the Longan'er Plain was returned so quickly in Mount Lantuo in the Western Region. Landa Mountain has a total of 20,000 monks and soldiers. Although it is not the kind of existence that can be called a final word in the battle of Liangmang, it is almost a difference of 40,000 people. Falling to Beiliang, not to mention the 20,000 extra troops out of thin air to contain the two towns of Linyao and Fengxiang, and more importantly, to be on the left and right with Huang Songpu's army, which is enough to form a pinch against Liuzhou. Coolness is tantamount to adding insult to injury.
Xu Fengnian stood up and asked, "What's the general process like? Zhong Tan can convince the ten eminent monks in Mount Landa with just a letter from Beimang? Even if there is an internal response, Mount Landa should continue to wait and see for a while. That's right."
Six-Jewel Bodhisattva covered his heart, "The decree not only named several masters as Beimang national teachers, but also promised that Beimang would regard the inheritance of Mount Landa as the foundation of a country, help Mount Landa promote Buddhism, and sit on an equal footing with the Taoist sect. In the future, we will share the power of Buddhism and Taoism in the Central Plains. At the same time, Zhongtan climbed Mount Landa alone, but you must know that there are 10,000 Beimang cavalry rushing to the foot of the mountain. After that lunatic died, both sides died together. Xu Fengnian, do you think Mount Landa agrees or not? I was going to kill Zhong Tan to stop my retreat, but two monks who had already become the inner support of Beimang fought their lives to stop me, and now I am still leaning towards the north The eminent monk of Mount Landa..."
She smiled miserably and pointed to herself, "I'm the only one."
Xu Fengnian thought for a moment, let the Liuzhu Bodhisattva who had fled thousands of miles rest in peace, and then turned to Chu Lushan and said, "Cai Anshan, the shepherd of Linyao City, and Ma Liuke, deputy general of Liuzhou, who is stationed in Fengxiangjun Town, can't be trusted. The two of them were not the kind of people who would be safe if they were rich, so they sent a secret letter to Liuzhou governor's mansion with a six hundred li express ride, asking Xie Xizhen to replace Cai Anshan as the head of the Linyao army town, although Ma Liuke said It has been emptied, but the prestige in the old department is still there. Let Qingcangcheng send troops to "escort" this person to Qingyuan Army Town in Liangzhou. right!"
Chu Lushan nodded and said: "In addition, it is not enough for Yu Luan Dao's 10,000 Youqi to go to Liuzhou, even if there are 4,000 Tiefutu supplemented by Ning Emei, I am afraid that Shi Fu, the new Liang The general of the state will go out."
Xu Fengnian was a little helpless, "In this way, Xie Xizhen's suggestion will temporarily become our major strategy in Beiliang."
Chu Lushan said with a smile: "Fighting on the battlefield is not a scholar's scientific research. It is often very useful to hold Buddha's feet temporarily."
Liuzhu Bodhisattva did not leave the small courtyard in a hurry, listening to the words that the two did not deliberately conceal, it was still like listening to heavenly scriptures.
Xu Fengnian asked Chu Lushan to take Liuzhu Bodhisattva to a secluded place to recuperate and stay alone in the small courtyard.
Then an all-too-familiar white robe appeared at the door.
It turned out to be the white fox face that went and returned, with both hands pressed on the embroidered winter and spring thunder on the left and right waists, although his face was indifferent, but the invisible aura of facing an enemy was undoubtedly revealed.
After the 18th stop, the Martial Dao Grandmaster who has no heaven and man before him, can make this person treat him so solemnly and cautiously, naturally it is not Xu Fengnian who has a good relationship.
Xu Fengnian took a deep breath, turned around, and saw a slender figure standing beside the coffin, silent.
The man in white clothes with the same face as Bai Hu'er seemed to be carrying two cloth bags of different sizes, one hiding the barrel of the gun and the other hiding the head of the gun.
Gun name plum wine.
The man in white put his hands on the coffin, as if he was talking to himself, "Qi Dangguo wrote me a letter before leading the army, saying that if he died in the battle, he would let me take time to return to Beiliang Look, in the letter he still foolishly hoped that I could work for Beiliang, saying that as a brother, there is no threshold for stepping over. After I received the letter, I knew that the "what if" of Qi Dangguo would happen in all likelihood Really, the reason why I made an exception and came back here is to make him not really die. I didn’t expect you, Xu Fengnian, to hide your strength and bide your time for so many years, and you finally became a master of martial arts after practicing martial arts. No one can be saved."
Whether it was in the Xu family's army during the Spring and Autumn War, or in the Beiliang Road where he had served as the guardian for more than ten years, or in the West Shu Road where the king was established as a vassal, the man in white who had always been taciturn said a lot today for the first time.
With the thumbs of Bai Hu'er's face, Xiudong Chunlei pushed the knife out of the sheath for more than an inch.
Xu Fengnian stood at the doorway between the two white clothes.
At the same time, the Six-Jeweled Bodhisattva was also standing outside the courtyard, and the entire Huaiyang Pass also began to move upon hearing the wind, with iron armor clanging, resounding through the streets.
Chen Zhibao, who was carrying plum wine back to Beiliang, turned around and asked straightforwardly, "Who killed Qi Dangguo?"
Xu Fengnian replied: "Hong Jingyan."
Chen Zhibao asked back: "Did Tuoba Bodhisattva take action against Qi Dangguo?"
Xu Fengnian did not continue to answer.
There was actually nothing to talk about between him and this white-clothed soldier saint who had surrendered to the Liyang court. It was the same when the white clothes sent His Royal Highness away from Liangzhou, and it was also the same when they reunited on the Guangling River last time.
Chu Lushan, who was surrounded by a large black armor, strode into the small courtyard alone, walked up to Xu Fengnian, threw the pot of wine in his hand high, and said angrily: "Chen, don't make sarcastic remarks here, give Lao Qi After offering the wine, get out of here, Lao Tzu!"
Chen Zhibao raised his hand to catch the jug of green ant wine, squatted down in front of the coffin, opened the jug, and slowly poured the wine on the ground.
No one knows that the person who is as lofty and conceited as Chen Zhibao, who is truly regarded as a friend and brother in this life, is not Yuan Zuozong, who is also Xu Xiao's adopted son and is well-known in the Central Plains, nor is it Chu Lushan, who is treacherous and evil but brilliant, nor is he who was once highly respected. The current Liangzhou general Shi Fu and his like.
It was this Qi Dangguo lying in the coffin, a man who was not well-known in Beiliang, Liyang and Beimang.
Previously in Beiliang, Chen Zhibao only had that remote house in the yellow sand desert outside the pass, and only Qi Dangguo had visited many times, and the two had never had a happy conversation, they just drank silently, Qi Dangguo was Drinking pots of booze, Chen Zhibao, who has never liked drinking, accompanied him for a few drinks. Every time Chen Zhibao returned to the state city of Liangzhou, he almost never lived in Qingliangshan Prince's Mansion, and would always borrow the house in Qi Dangguo. Even if Yao Jian and Ye Xizhen kindly invited them, they could not do this. The former masters of Baiyu Qingqi, Wei Fucheng and Tie Futu, who were appointed as the commanders of Dian Xiongshou, couldn't figure it out. They couldn't figure out why they would be happy to deal with a little Zhechong captain who only knew how to charge and fight, even in Qi's house. When drinking in private, General Chen was "taught" by the big boss with alcohol, and he was not angry, but just showed a helpless smile. General, for so many years, I have clearly remembered that in the early morning of the New Year, General Chen, who was staying at Qi’s house, was called out by Qi Dangguo early in the morning, insisting on dragging them to post Spring Festival couplets and blessings, General Chen had to run away Going through the courtyards, Wei Fucheng and Dian Xiongshou were so angry that they almost turned against Qi Dangguo who had no eyesight on the spot. From their point of view, it was already a great honor for General Chen to stay at your Qi's house, and yet you still Dare to push an inch, what is this not looking for cuts? But for some reason, every time a couplet is posted with a word of blessing, you have to take the trouble to say a good Qi Dangguo. General Chen has never been a little bit strange, but he reminded him when he posted it crookedly. Dian Xionghu had the guts to ask General Chen if he had rescued General Chen during the Spring and Autumn Battlefield in the early years, and that's why he was so fond of nostalgia? Chen Zhibao smiled and shook his head at the time, saying that he followed the great general to conquer the six kingdoms in the north and south, and he was the only one who saved others, just like Yuan Zuozong was saved in the Battle of Gongzhufen, especially when he saved Qi Dangguo as many as six times , There were three times in the Battle of West Wall alone. Dian Xiongshou was even more strange, but no matter how hard he asked, General Chen didn't give a reason.
Chen Zhibao poured the wine extremely slowly.
After pouring a jug of wine, he gently put the jug at his feet, looked up at the brand new coffin containing the old man, and pursed his lips.
Xu Jiajun had fought too many bitter battles when he was famous in the Liyang court but had not really achieved great power. Whenever he lost a battle and needed someone to take the rear, there would always be a simple and honest young man who was not good at speaking and stood up first, " I come!"
Whoever robs him will be in a hurry with him.
His reason is that my life is worthless, and I have earned it by surviving the chaos of the war, so it doesn’t matter if I die!
In the Spring and Autumn War, the flames of war raged, emperors and officials would die, traffickers and pawns would die, warriors on the battlefield were naturally more likely to die, so life and death were trivial matters at that time, it was a normal matter, but a guy like that young man who was afraid that he would die if he didn't fight, in fact Not much.
At that time, the young man surnamed Qi chose to join the army after he couldn't survive the troubled times. With his outstanding physical strength and fearlessness, he gradually became the little leader of Xu Xiao's personal bodyguard, and after he recovered his life again and again. Became the bearer of his dreams.
From Yang to Dingding the world, General Xu Jiajun entered Tai'an City with style and style. At that time, the city was full of wind and rain, and there were rumors that he, Chen Zhibao, wanted to be named Wang with a different surname, and he was a fan of Nanjiang or Liangliao. Jiu found him, slammed it on the table, and said harshly, "Chen Zhibao, if you dare to leave Xu Jiajun, I won't treat you as a brother in the future!"
At that time, the momentum was like that of Chen Zhibao, who was in Tai'an City when the white-clothed monk Li Dangxin was in the early years.
In fact, this guy who looks very aggressive at first glance, the implication of his cruel words is that I, Qi Dangguo, know that I am not worthy of you to treat me as a brother, but that is about you, Chen Zhibao, and I will treat you anyway. Be brothers.
At that time, Chen Zhibao said to him angrily, "Keep the wine, get out".
Qi Dangguo subconsciously let out a cry, and when he reached the door, he realized that he ran up to him again, opened the wine, and said seriously: ""
Before Chen Zhibao decided to leave Beiliang, he also found Qi Dangguo with a jug of wine. , people, can you not leave?"
Chen Zhibao shook his head.
Qi Dangguo finished his drink sullenly, and finally said: "As long as you don't become enemies with Beiliang in the future, you will still be brothers, but if you can't, the first Beiliang person you kill with plum wine will definitely It's me who is in charge of the country, and this is not drinking and talking nonsense."
Chen Zhibao took out the letter from his arms, held it in the palm of his hand, and clenched it into a ball. When he let go, it turned into powder and scattered, "I have received the letter, but there are some things you said in the letter that I can't do." .”
That tall and simple young man, no matter how many people he killed on the battlefield and how much he made in battle, he never had the heroic spirit of Chu Lushan, the heroic spirit of Yuan Zuozong, the witty spirit of Yao Jian, and the really pedantic spirit of Ye Xi, he always carried with him A rustic air.
So much so that even the cypress coffin after death looks as rustic as the person lying there.
Chen Zhibao stood up, without turning his head, and said with a sneer, "The 300,000 cavalrymen in Beiliang died, but in the end, they just kept Liyang Zhao Shi safe? Xu Fengnian, you are amazing!"
Xu Fengnian hesitated to speak, but in the end he still didn't refute anything.
When Chen Zhibao turned around, he took off the long bag behind his back, revealing the true face of the plum wine gun.
The room was cold.
"If this Beiliang is replaced by me, one day..."
A sarcasm smile appeared on the corner of Chen Zhibao's mouth, his eyes turned slightly, he looked at Chu Lushan, and said flatly: "Don't you, Chu Lushan, want to be a civil servant leader and posthumously posthumous as Wenzhen? I'll give it to you."
Chen Zhibao looked past Chu Lushan and Xu Fengnian, and beyond the gate of the courtyard, he could vaguely see the Beiliang iron armor there, "Yan Wenluan, Yuan Zuozong, He Zhonghu, Chen Yunchui, these old Xu family members of Beiliang, everyone is crowned king."
"Shifu, Hu Kui, Han Laoshan, Ning Emei, Dian Xiongshu, Wei Fucheng, these Northern Liang generals, everyone is a prince."
"Even if you die on the battlefield before the world is at peace, you will be honored by everyone after death."
Chen Zhibao withdrew his gaze and finally looked at Xu Fengnian squarely, "What about you? How much did you bring to Beiliang cavalry? Only 300,000 stone tablets?"
Chen Zhibao wiped off the cloth pouch casually, and held the plum wine gun.
Chen Zhibao took off the small cloth bag again, and put the gun head on, "Although you killed Hong Jingyan, you and I both know that Qi Dangguo died because of you. I don't care, but if Qi Dangguo dies, I have to settle accounts with you, the justifiable king of Beiliang."
Xu Fengnian looked at the white-clothed soldier saint who came to inquire about the crime, "Chu Lushan, take everyone out of Huaiyang Pass and bring the Six-Jeweled Bodhisattva with you."
Liuzhu Bodhisattva hesitated for a moment, but did not insist on staying.
Bai Hu'er, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, frowned, "I'll stay, but I won't interfere."
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "You go too, there is no need to discuss."
The king of Shu, holding plum wine, was indifferent, allowing Chu Lushan to leave the courtyard with a livid face, followed by Liuzhu Bodhisattva, and finally took a deep look at Chen Zhibao's white fox face.
Chen Zhibao, who didn't act immediately, seemed to be waiting for Chu Lushan to lead his troops to leave Huaiyang Pass, and asked with a leisurely smile, "You will die in about two quarters of an hour. Do you have any last words?"
Xu Fengnian began to close his eyes and rest his mind, waiting for the last Beiliang frontier soldier to leave Huaiyang Pass.
Chen Zhibao didn't speak anymore, and let the vassal in front of him sort out his aura. He squinted his eyes, his thoughts wandering away.
Young King Liang was still wearing those boots with badly worn soles.
The king of Shu who rushed to Liangzhou Pass from Guangling Road all the way was not much better.
There was a prophecy that spread among the court and the public, that the cold mice in the west and the north would eat food, and the dragons in white clothes would be beheaded together.
