The sky is high and the ground is wide, the big clouds hang low, and the sunset is especially gorgeous.
There are less than a hundred riders galloping northward, and their heads are covered with the most beautiful bright Sichuan brocade.
When this cavalry team approached Chongzuka Army Town, Beimang horses in twos and threes stopped at Gaopo. After weighing the disparity in the number of the two sides, none of them came to charge in the end.
The crossbowmen from Liangzhou really frightened the Northern Mang Ma Lanzi before, not only the three elite scouts were almost wiped out, but even Hong Jingyan, the co-leader of the Rouran cavalry, Yelu Chucai, the relative of the emperor, and the two generals were also killed. They all died in battle. Although the border gates of the Southern Dynasties have learned that all the crossbowmen have transferred to the Liuzhou battlefield, but once bitten by a snake for ten years and fearing the well rope, they really dare not take it lightly. It is even more strict to order the horse fences under the command to retreat when encountering the enemy. The crime of retreating without fighting is not counted. All the chiefs and all the chiefs will be beheaded!
The more than one hundred riders who did not wear the armor of the Beiliang Frontier Army did not pay attention to the group of Juzizhou scouts who had heard the smell and then retreated angrily. The outskirts of the military town continued northward.
Most of the weird cavalry lined up with two cavalry marching northward in a long snake formation, about 80 cavalry, all of them rode their horses with swords in their hands. Obviously, they were not the Northern Liang frontier army who would never take their swords without authorization. Riding on a fast horse with a whip, he came to the side of the only knight wearing a cold knife in front of him, and said a little annoyed: "My surname is Xu, and mosquito legs are also meat. I have encountered eight or nine horse fences in the North Mang intermittently along the way. If you allow If we make a move, why should we kill 40 or 50 riders? What’s the matter? Your Qingliangshan is really so poor that you can’t afford to pay for this little reward for your military exploits? Take ten thousand steps back and say, the money is owed first, kill him With forty or fifty Beimang scouts, your Liangzhou cavalry army outside the pass might be able to kill fewer people, how can you be the king of Beiliang?!"
Xu Fengnian kept his eyes on the north and continued to look at the north without slowing down his horse. He patiently explained: "Dong Zhuo's army is about to attack Huaiyang Pass. If you stay here for a while, Beiliang may be about to..."
Wu Liuding, the contemporary sword crown of the Wu family's sword tomb, interrupted the young vassal's words, and said carelessly, "Even if you arrived at Huaiyang Pass earlier, can you still move the entire pass to Jubei City? Huaiyang Pass and the guardian The house doesn't have long legs, so you can't escape. In the final analysis, after you became the grand master of martial arts, you have become too arrogant, and you can't look down on those horse fences. You only have Tuoba Bodhisattva Hong Jingyan in your eyes, otherwise you won't be happy. Make a move, right?"
Not far behind them, a swordsman from the Wu family rode a yin and yang and said strangely: "A master should have the demeanor of a master. The prince's eyes are higher than the top, and he has his own confidence. What's wrong? A land fairy stomped hundreds of people to death. Thousands of ants, don't you think the soles of your shoes are dirty?"
Wu Liuding rolled his eyes, he was too lazy to learn as much as the ferocious beast behind him, there was nothing he could do, even if it was in a Wu family sword mound where his family school was the world's sword school, only his ancestors could slightly suppress that Zhu devil, Wu Liuding No matter how confident he is that he will definitely become the number one swordsman in the future, he still has to admit that compared with Zhu Huang, there is still some gap in terms of cultivation and attainment. The ancestors of the Wu family established a family rule long ago, the length of the sword spirit determines the truth. Although Wu Liuding was not thin-skinned, he would not go into a verbal dispute with Zhu Huang.
However, if Cuihua, who bears the ancient sword Su Wang, is willing to join forces, Wu Liuding is really confident that he can beat Zhu Motou into Zhuzhu's head. It's a pity that Cuihua is a sword servant, according to the Wu family's 800-year-old old-fashioned rules, she must never participate in the competition between Jianguan and other Jianghu people.
Xu Fengnian smiled and shook his head, but did not continue to explain.
Some Beiliang's own family affairs, said to these ancestors who left the legacy of "not looking for a city wall, but looking for a murderous sword", said that it doesn't make sense to talk about chickens and ducks.
Xu Fengnian's heart was far heavier than it appeared on the surface.
Chu Lushan refused to leave Huaiyang Pass, and only gave Jubeicheng a word.
"Whether I, Chu Lushan, is in Huaiyang Pass or not, the situation on the battlefield outside Liangzhou Pass is different."
Xu Fengnian knew what he meant, but he still hoped to fight for one last time, in person.
Not as the feudal lord of the 300,000 Beiliang iron cavalry owner, not to meet the Beiliang Governor, but only as Xu Xiao's eldest son, to meet Tu Yizi's Lu Qiuer.
The reason why he was so non-stop was that Xu Fengnian knew very well that once Dong Zhuo appeared outside Huaiyang Pass in person, Chu Lushan would not leave. Xu Fengnian couldn't just knock Chu Lushan unconscious and tie him back to Beicheng, which was meaningless.
As for why he didn't leave the eighty riders from the Wu Family Sword Tomb and rush to Huaiyang Pass alone, it's a bit complicated here.
There are thousands of things in the world, and peace of mind is the hardest thing to find.
The closer to Huaiyang Pass, the difficult and rugged southern entrance, not only Wu Liuding who looked bored beside the young feudal lord, not only Nalan Huaiyu, the rouge commentator who secretly looked at the back of the young feudal lord from time to time, but even Cuihua The woman whose sword heart has purely reached the realm of consonance also sensed Xu Fengnian's strange emotions.
Huaiyang Pass is known as the most dangerous pass outside Liangzhou Pass. The winding and rugged mountain road at the south entrance is indispensable, which makes this pass no worries.
Perhaps because he realized that there was something wrong with his state of mind, Xu Fengnian suddenly turned his head to look at Wu Liuding and asked with a smile: "I heard that your Wu family has been in the past twenty years, and your ancestors have commented on swordsmen in Jianzhong, except Deng Tai'a, who is naturally murderous. It is the most prosperous, and Zhu Huang has the most murderous intentions, and Cuihua has the deepest murderous intentions. Then you Wu Liuding as the sword crown?"
Wu Liuding said with a shameless face: "I, it's obvious that the root is the best and the most talented!"
Zhu Huang, who was sitting on horseback with his arms folded across his chest, snorted and laughed sarcastically.
Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "Wu Liuding, don't bully me. I haven't seen the world, let alone anything else. I have met several natural sword embryos. The charcoal girl from the Guanyin Sect and Chen Tianyuan from the Taibai Sword Sect are even better than you. Everyone wins."
Wu Liuding snorted, and said indifferently: "I still have the highest talent, so what are you afraid of? When I was very young, my ancestors said that I, a kendo genius who has never met in a hundred years, can't constantly theorize when the kendo is climbing. What is important is step by step.”
Xu Fengnian grinned.
Wu Liuding glared at the young vassal king, and said solemnly: "Xu, think about it, when you and I met for the first time on the river, what realm am I? It's just a so-so false finger, but at that time I had already used my sword What do you think you rely on to break into the rivers and lakes as a crown?"
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Rely on face?"
Wu Liuding was stunned for a moment, with a bright smile on his face, he reached out and rubbed his cheeks, "That's right!"
Cuihua, the sword servant who kept her eyes closed all the time, sighed slightly.
The old man surnamed Helian with snow-bearded hair said with a soft smile: "My lord, this matter is really not our young master bragging about it. There was once a strange fortune-teller of unknown origin in Jianzhong who made a fuss about Liu Ding and told him There have been three times in this life that carp jumped the Dragon Gate. The first time was when Liu Ding entered Jianshan Mountain for the first time when he was young. It can be said that the twelve swords recognize the master at the same time, which can be described as one of the few visions in the long history of the Wu family. After that, Liuding, who originally practiced swords and spent three days fishing and two days drying nets, was even more perfunctory until Jianzhong. Deciding on the candidate for the new sword crown, Liu Ding had been stagnant in the third-rank realm, which has not even reached the realm of the little master, and suddenly comprehended several fingers of mysterious swordsmanship... "
Wu Liuding laughed loudly and said: "This is a genius, if I really put my heart into practicing swords, how can I be fine?!"
Xu Fengnian hummed agreeably for the first time, but the next sentence made Wu Liuding completely deflated, "If I'm not mistaken, Wu Dajianguan still has a chance to jump the dragon's gate with a carp, and now it's half a bucket of water in the Finger Profound Realm, then At that time, it is still possible to stumble into the realm of celestial phenomena, not bad, probably able to compete with those of her peers... the Huishan Xuanyuan Qingfeng who is said to have watched the snow overnight and realized longevity, and of course, the premise is that she only uses one hand. .”
Wu Liuding was furious, "Even if I can only break through the realm and enter the celestial phenomenon, even if I can't enter the great celestial phenomenon in one step, I will definitely be able to use one or two moves of the land sword fairy!"
Xu Fengnian groaned, and said lightly, "One or two moves, it's quite powerful. Like me, it's only a few dozen moves."
Wu Liuding looked pitiful, and turned to look at Nalan Huaiyu, "Aunt Nalan, this guy is too bullying!"
She smiled sweetly, and said: "Auntie is not your mother, it's useless to call me wrong."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Yes, sister Nalan, don't talk to him."
Nalan Huaiyu raised his brows, and his smile deepened. The charm between the brows is like smoke curling up.
Wu Liuding came back to life in an instant, looking radiant, turned to the sword servant Cuihua and whispered: "Listen to this guy's tone, he is indeed a veteran who came out of the flowers, Cuihua, right?"
Unexpectedly, Cuihua's language was not amazing, and she said indifferently, "No."
The young Jian Guan, who seemed to have received a fatal sword from the land sword fairy, suddenly felt ashamed, and felt lifeless.
Xu Fengnian took a deep breath.
The south gate of the outer city of Huaiyang Pass has arrived.
If it was Murong Baoding's troops attacking Huaiyang Pass in Beimang this time, Xu Fengnian would not have used it here at all.
But things are impermanent, Dong Zhuo came.
Not only that, the number of Dong family's private soldiers who were known to be reckless has doubled!
In the first reckless battle, although Dong Zhuo's private army was not injured, it was not lightly damaged. Moreover, Dong Zhuo's private army has always been a joke in the temples of the Northern Mang and Southern Dynasties. It is rumored that the old lady told him with a smile after seeing the little fat man who liked to call herself the emperor's sister, Dong Fat Duner, you can have your private army in the Southern Dynasty, but don't toss to a hundred thousand people. If you pass this line, it doesn't matter, I will promote you to the official position and let you go to Beiting as a general. The rumors are not true, but after that, Dong Zhuo's cavalry and infantry armies were roughly maintained at around 60,000, and never exceeded 80,000 at their peak.
This time, when Dong Zhuo wrote a letter to the Empress of Beimang asking to attack Huaiyang Pass, it seemed that overnight, all 80,000 grassland cavalry troops poured into the camp of Dong's private army!
In addition, the old woman gave him more than ten thousand soft horses.
The size of Dong Zhuo's private army is far more than that of Tuoba Bodhisattva, Huang Song Pu, and Liu Gui, all the generals.
The two court halls in the North Court of Xijing must be feeling terrified and at the same time confused.
Fatty Dong, who secretly owns such a terrifying family background, is he going to rebel or not
At this moment, the swordsmen of the Wu family outside Huaiyang Pass were in sight.
A fat man with a flattering face stood at the door, like a hill standing at the door.
In the smoke and smoke of Beiliangdao's border gate for twenty years, in the field of civil and military officials, each has a different kind who is best at flattering.
Li Gongde likes to flatter Xu Xiao, and his kung fu is so proficient that it can be called spring wind and rain.
There is a fat man who has won the reputation of "Chu Bacha" because of his poetic skills, but he likes to take photos of His Royal Highness's horses, but he is so disgusting.
Xu Fengnian turned over and got off the horse, and Chu Lushan naturally helped lead the horse with skillful movements.
In the twilight, the two entered the city first.
Xu Fengnian did not speak.
That Lu Qiu'er was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I am very at ease, please rest assured, my lord."
Xu Fengnian looked ahead and said softly, "It's hard."
Chu Lushan stopped and said to himself: "To be honest, this world, this world, has always made me very unhappy."
Inside the city gate, the sight is dim.
Chu Lushan stopped, turned his head and smiled and said, "Because in this world, my most respected adoptive parents, their sons, are unhappy."
The young feudal lord also stopped and remained silent.
Chu Lushan couldn't see his face clearly, and didn't want to see clearly, so he turned around again.
The two just stopped in the dark.
Chu Lushan suddenly said in a deep voice: "Don't send it off, Chu Lushan has fought countless times in the battlefield in his life, and every time he takes someone to die, he doesn't need to be seen off, let alone be collected."
Chu Lushan strode forward, walked out of the city gate, and looked up at the sky.
He flattered that young man many times in his life and said countless words of flattery.
This fat man was thinking about how many years ago, he let that child ride on his neck, and he rode on the Xu family's war horse at that time.
Two brothers with different surnames rode the horse and galloped the west wind together.
The fat man with his back to the young man whispered in his heart.
Xiaonian, my younger brother of Chu Lushan, why don't you and I see each other again.
