Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Swordsman

Chapter 188

"That's what they really said?"

The Canggu temple is bathed in continuous rain, the high stone walls are undulating and mossy, winding like wrinkles, and the thick wooden sill in front of the temple is faded and faded, still facing the red wooden door of the other courtyard from a distance.

Today's King Pingnan is wrapped in layers of blue satin embroidered dragon pattern iron leaves, almost airtight, except for his hands that are leaking out are covered with black spots, at first glance he looks like an old man on the verge of death.He wore a coat-like robe with blue plain satin as the face, moon white blue cloth as the lining, and thin silk cotton inside. He stared at the gloomy sky of Guangxiao Temple with his hands behind his back, and slowly opened his mouth to break the silence.

Shang Kexi's counselor, Jin Guang, the minister of Honglu Temple, also wore his helmet and put on his armor when fighting today. It was not until Shang Kexi's voice was completely dissipated that he spoke first among the cold-eyed generals.

"Reporting to the lord, this matter was heard by the humble officials, and there is absolutely no falsehood. The group of people in the world were suspicious of each other, but now they all agree that it was done by that person. I am afraid there is another hidden story..."

Adviser Jin Guang, formerly known as Hancai, styled Gongxuan, was appreciated by Shang Kexi for his intelligence and talent in his early years, and has been working under his account for more than 20 years.

As Li Xinghe's most powerful competitor, he naturally knew that only by seizing the opportunity can he regain his position as the mastermind, so he took the initiative to make suggestions and efforts, and decided to follow the example of the Picking the Tassel Association, luring those who were locked up in prison and had long wanted to surrender, but because of face. People in the Jianghu revealed the news and revealed the real mastermind of the assassination.

"What a 'Gentleman's Sword', Jiang Wen, is able to be silent under the eyes of this old man..."

Shang Kexi's expression was gloomy, the wound on his side was still aching from the rain, even half of his body was stiff and stagnant, but he knew that he couldn't stay in bed, he couldn't rest, and he couldn't even tell others that he hadn't closed his eyes for three days because of the pain ——This Guangzhou mansion is like a volcano, even the heavy rain can't extinguish the blazing flames. The Pingnan Palace must be transformed into a Chinese army. If he falls, the Pingnan Palace will soon fall into this dark ruin middle.

"Immediately send someone to arrest him. If there is any obstruction in this trip, we will kill him...Mr. Jin, let the leader in the backyard go and take action."

Shang Kexi said in a low voice, then turned his head to look at Jin Guang, "This king is raising him and letting him go. I just want to kill him and listen to him. Now it's time to do my best, right?"

Jin Guang quickly bowed his head and said yes, and immediately a guard general beside him came out of the line, and strode towards a side hall in the other courtyard of the Zen temple, and quickly disappeared under the rain.

Shang Kexi's appearance like an octogenarian is very frightening, at this time he doesn't speak anymore, but his eyes are staring straight at the rain curtain, the few myrobalan trees with branches and leaves that have been withered by the wind for days, his expressions are not completely occupied Those who take the lead should feel at ease.

"Mr. Jin, Zen Master Tianran told this king that when Yu of the Three Kingdoms came to live in this temple, myrobalan trees were already planted in the garden. pass them."

Shang Kexi talked about it like a few treasures, but the light in his eyes became even darker, "Later, Patriarch Bodhidharma saw them, Master Huineng saw them, famous scholars of Panyu in the past dynasties saw them, and even the puppet Emperor Shaowu saw them. The trees are still like this until now, but the romantic people have been blown away by the rain and the wind, only these trees are still deeply planted here..."

Shang Kexi said something that seemed to hurt the spring and the autumn, but there was no trace of humanity on his body, but his expression became more and more fierce.

"People say that these are ancient treasures, but who would have thought that they were actually produced in the South Sea of ​​Tianzhu thousands of miles away, and they should not belong here in the first place?"

Jin Guang listened carefully word by word, not daring to miss a single bit.He knew this old prince very well, and for many years he had tried to be impeccable in his actions and words. If he treated his words as normal at this time, he would definitely miss the hidden real meaning.

Shang Kexi seems to be talking about the Myrobalan tree, but not about the Myrobalan tree, just like the natural Zen master said Prajna Paramita when explaining the Diamond Sutra, but it is not Prajna Paramita, and everything should be born without dwelling.

It is in the sound of Sanskrit singing that Shang Kexi, who was originally only a rough literacy, has really realized a lot of Buddhist principles from the natural Zen master in the past ten years, and his words and deeds have become more inscrutable. Jin Guang, it became more and more difficult to guess what Shang Kexi was thinking.

But in this matter, Jin Guang still knew what the natural Zen master meant.

The myrobalan tree in Guangxiao Temple has been able to turn back to the host after thousands of years, and the Pingnan Palace, which has entered Guangdong from outsiders, naturally has a chance to stand still.What the old prince Shang Kexi has been thinking about day and night is nothing more than imitating the example of King Mu of the Ming Dynasty, that he can inherit the title of prince, so that the Shang family will be prosperous and wealthy for generations, and hold military power.

For this reason, Zen Master Tianran expressed his willingness to persuade the officials, gentry, and traffickers in the city a long time ago to use Buddhism to resolve the karma and blood debts of the two kings entering Guangdong, and to lay a solid foundation for Shang Kexi to forever town Guangdong. Expensive, the reason for burning incense and worshiping Buddha.

Needless to say, what Shang Kexili Buddha expresses is a gesture, while the natural Zen master represents a vision. The inside story between the two is far less bizarre than the outside world's saying that it is sleepless day and night, and the souls of the innocent are so bizarre—what if the city is full of innocent souls? So what about the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood? When the shining butcher's knife was raised, how did you ever fear karma?When you put down the butcher knife in your hand, why did you expect to become a Buddha immediately?

Ten years ago, on the day when the city of Guangzhou was broken, Jin Guang saw Shang Kexi, whom he had never known before. If the monstrous murderous intent in his body had any substance, he was still not satisfied with the killing and cleaning along the city, and ordered to kill people until the blood splashed on the sky. Street ants gather to eat, hungry birds peck their intestines and fly to the north of the city.Even Jin Guang, who wanted to protect the inner city that he had bought, persuaded Shang Kexi to stay and surrender to subdue the defeated soldiers, was almost killed by Shang Kexi himself...

Fortunately, today's Shang Kexi is a little more tolerant. Even if Zen Master Tianran intends to cover up Nan Shaolin and the real assassin, Shang Kexi will not pursue it. After all, as long as Zen Master Tianran's golden body is still shining, he is determined to become the living Buddha of all families today. If you are still gratifying, you must borrow his Buddha's light.

It's just that Jin Guang has been unable to figure it out. It has been so long since Ming Ming's Geng Yin incident. In the past ten years, King Pingnan is still gratifying. Why is he still walking on thin ice...

"Report to the prince, the son is asking to see him outside the temple."

The personal guard came in a hurry in the rain, and there was a particularly obvious shoe print on his body.

When Shang Kexi heard the report from his subordinates, his eyes froze, and it seemed that his mood had changed from worrying to another kind of negative emotion in an instant, but Shang Kexi still relied on years of suppression by the city government, turned around with his hands behind his back, and agreed that his subordinates would open the door and let them go.

The sound of footsteps came hurriedly, and then they bounced off a wall and then back again, just like this, they broke into a young man in a fine attire.

Jin Guang previously advocated the matter of changing the establishment of the son, and Shang Zhixin has long held a grudge in his heart, and the two are in the same situation.Seeing Shang Zhixin's tall figure now, Jin Guang immediately wanted to retreat into the wing room, but was stopped by Shang Kexi's eyes. With no way to retreat, the two finally met in extreme embarrassment.

"Hmph, go away."

Shang Zhixin was a bit taller than him. He looked at the counselor who proposed to abolish his position with a bad look, and uttered a few boos of unknown meaning from his mouth. dog.

"Father, my son heard that you have set up a net in Guangxiao Temple, and you are waiting for the thieves to show their feet, so you specially brought people to help out, and today you will definitely capture the culprits and present them under the army tent!"

Shang Zhixin said happily, but Jin Guang quietly found that Shang Kexi's expression became more and more serious, and the previously suppressed and gloomy feeling gradually changed. said with a demeanor.

"fool."

Shang Zhixin's complacent look was suddenly stunned, his face flushed instantly, and then turned pale, his hands clenched more and more vigorously, and the creaking sound of joints could be heard from a long distance away.

"Father...the child doesn't understand..."

Shang Zhixin raised his head and looked at Shang Kexi. The father and son with similar facial features were facing each other far away, but the old man in robes seemed to be a pile of battlements smoky and ignited by gunpowder smoke, while the young man looked like a shiny sword that had just been forged .

"My king said, you are a fool."

Shang Kexi paused each word clearly and abnormally, as if he was afraid that the young man on the opposite side would not be able to hear his cursing clearly.

Shang Zhixin's anger reached the extreme, but he suddenly turned his head to look at the obsequious golden light, and his monstrous anger turned to this counselor who did not deal with him. He decided that this person was the one who framed and provoked him, and immediately pulled out the saber at his waist.

"Many complaints, angry with the general, do not listen to restraint, even more difficult to teach. This is called building an army, and the offenders will be killed. Fighting with weapons in the army, fighting in anger, killing people, adding axes, beheading and abandoning the city."

Shang Kexi read out the military order slowly, and looked at Shang Zhixin's furious behavior, as cold and heartless as if he was looking at a dead person, but this made Shang Zhixin suddenly calm down, and decided to honestly put down the knife in his hand.

"...for the time being, spare your dog's life!"

Shang Zhixin laughed back in anger, he knew that Shang Kexi was not joking, the military order of the Pingnan Palace was strict and there were many rules, and only in this way could he be invincible. He also knew that if he really killed someone today, Shang Kexi would not Mind the next ruthless hand to correct military discipline.

"Thank you...thank you, son..."

Jin Guang, who had walked before the gate of hell, was sweating profusely, his lingering fears were still there, his hands and feet were cold, and his whole body was numb. However, facing the horror between life and death, he suddenly figured out why Shang Kexi insisted on letting himself stay. down.

And this thought made him dizzy again, almost falling over!
The so-called grievances of abolishing the position of the son are nothing but winners and losers who are fighting for power and profit. Shang Kexi has no need to stop Shang Zhixin's actions. Anyway, people will die after all. After a hundred years, children and grandchildren will behave indiscriminately, so what is the need to stop it?

But there is only one exception, and that is Shang Kexi's decision to let Shang Zhixin take over the vassal!
At this time, I represent not only a counselor, but also another mountain in Pingnan Palace supporting the son!Kill yourself, the mountain will always exist, only if you don't kill yourself, this mountain can be flattened!
"My son, Mr. Jin, from now on, if you want to kill him or not, you can do whatever you want, but you must not disappoint the old prince's painstaking efforts..."

Jin Guang finally didn't flinch anymore, but raised his head to meet Shang Zhixin's gaze, before wiping off his sweaty forehead, he hurriedly opened his mouth and said.Since ancient times, there is no greater merit than Qiandi Conglong, but there are also precedents in the books of dedicating merit anyway and being relied on. He only hopes that the unscrupulous Prince Pingnan in front of him can have a better mind and don't let this play fail.

As expected, Shang Zhixin wanted to reprimand angrily with a bad expression, but was stared back by Shang Kexi, and then he gradually calmed down.

"I know you want to be the king of Pingnan, but do you really have the ability?"

Shang Kexi finally restrained his complicated emotions, and as he sat down, the armor leaves rattled, and the generals in the Buddhist hall were also pushed back one after another. At this time, only the portrait of the shaved black-clothed monk in the Zen room was left for him. On the altar, but because no one has worshiped it all year round, the curtain shrine has long been desolate and faded.

"Do you know who this person is?"

Shang Kexi pointed to the portrait behind him and said.

The angry Shang Zhixin said indifferently: "It's just an old monk, what's there to guess."

Shang Kexi's expression was not disturbed: "You have the right to be complacent today, but because of your status as the son of King Pingnan. As for the former Ming Zhao Wang Zhu Youfen on the portrait, how can you not be as good as you?"

Seeing Shang Zhixin's astonished expression, the counselor Jin Guang quickly explained that when Li Chengdong captured Guangzhou ten years ago, he immediately captured and killed Shaowu Emperor Zhu Yukai, who had only been enthroned in the city for 41 days, and the [-]th emperor who was unable to escape in Guangzhou and had only a few remaining members of the Ming Dynasty. All the remaining vassal kings were killed, and only the Zhao king was left to lead the army.

In February of the fourth year of Shunzhi (1647), Tong Yangjia, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty, and Li Chengdong, the governor of the Qing Dynasty, asked people to recruit Zhu Youfen, the king of Nanming Zhao in Xingning. A monk, he entered Guangzhou to surrender to the Qing Dynasty in June, and was imprisoned in the west meditation room of Guangxiao Temple.

However, due to the special status of Zhao Wang Zhu Youfen, the old ministers of the former Ming Dynasty still desperately rescued Zhengshuo because of him, and shed countless blood around Guangxiao Temple. Raised troops in Jiujiang, together with volunteer soldiers from Shunde Chen Bangyan and Dongguan Zhang Jiayu.

They contacted Yang Keguan and Yang Jingye, former commanders of the Guangzhou Guards of the Southern Ming Dynasty in the city, as internal responses, and 3000 Huashan bandits falsely surrendered to the Qing army, and agreed to take back Guangzhou on July [-].

However, unexpectedly, Tong Yangjia took down Yang Keguan and Yang Jingye and beheaded them all. He then took Zhao Wang Zhu Youfen to Yuanmiao Temple and ordered him to hang himself. Therefore, all right and wrong, only this profound picture remained in the end. The portraits hidden in the west meditation room of Guangxiao Temple were hidden by Zen Master Tianran for the old people of Siming to look up secretly.

"This king set up the big tent in Guangxiao Temple, just to remind these people with evil intentions, don't test the sharpness of this king's sword. And if you want to use the word 'king', this king will also remind you , lest you think that you will become King Pingnan in the future, and that your life and wealth can be decided by you!"

Shang Kexi stood with a saber in his arms, the light in the meditation room was dim, there was already a little noise around the meditation room, many Pingnan Palace generals who were eagerly walking in and out, their helmets shaking.

These figures were projected on the windows of the Zen room with the door closed, creating a chaotic atmosphere, as if a big battle was imminent, so that even Shang Zhixin, who was in the room, couldn't help sweating slightly, and his breathing became short of breath.

"Father, what happened outside?"

Shang Zhixin was frowned by the atmosphere, but the aged King Pingnan sat on the Diaoyutai calmly, and the counselor Jin Guang also lowered his eyes and remained silent, only feeling that the scene in front of him was different from the years of military expeditions in the past [-] years.

"It's such a small thing that I can't hold my breath."

Shang Kexi turned the Cui Yu finger in his hand, "It's just that some rats think that this king doesn't know how to fight, and they want to find their own way of death. But they don't understand that today's chaotic world has been turbulent for decades, and it should be our warrior's world."

Shang Kexi, who was standing alone in the meditation hall, pointed to the portrait of the monk in black clothes and shaved hair on the wall, "The nobles of Tianhuang and the Zanying family don't understand this. The general trend, in the end, is just asking for death."

After Shang Kexi finished speaking, he waved his robe sleeves, the sound of a nail piercing through the air was like an arrow shooting, stirring up the billowing dust in the room, which could not be discerned clearly in the gray darkness, but it was more like a gigantic beast hovering in the sky, with claws and claws in the crevices It was full of smoke and blood, leaving only a mess behind him.

Shang Zhixin squinted his eyes because of the dust, so he could only cover his mouth and nose and said in a low voice, "What the father said is... the child is educated..."

The emotional Shang Kexi showed pain on his face, and scolded in a hoarse voice: "You understand?! The Qin kings, Chu kings, Shu kings, and Fu kings of the Ming Dynasty didn't understand, so they were brutally killed in the wilderness. , King Tang, King Gui, and King Lu understand, but haven’t they been played by a group of warriors?”

"If you say you understand today, the old man can wait to collect your body tomorrow!"

Jin Guang's heart skipped a beat, he was afraid that Shang Ke would be angry and say something like "Heaven's soldiers are strong and horses are strong".

The kings of Qin, Chu, Shu, and Fu that King Pingnan talked about were all particularly stupid among the vassal kings in the late Ming Dynasty. Since their lives were in danger, they refused to spend money to defend the country. The famous Fu Wang was thrown into the pot by Li Zicheng, and cooked together with the sika deer into a "Fu Lu Banquet", which was shared and eaten.

And the other kings of Zhou, Tang, Gui, and Lu, except for trying to defend Kaifeng with all their wealth, were still unlucky Zhou kings who were on the verge of failure. The titles of "Longwu", "Shaowu", "Yongli", and "Lu Wang Jianguo".

But what Shang Kexi said is quite naked is that these so-called sons of heaven are just tools of military generals. Ordinary civil servants tried to defend the emperor, but they were still doomed to fail.

There is no chance of victory in civil and military battles in this world. Therefore, with the wisdom of Huang Daozhou, he can only lead the battalion army out of Xianxia Pass to fight against the Qing Dynasty. With the talent of Zhang Huangyan, he can only run around alone to call for it, and sit back and watch the Manchu Eight Banners eat up the last inch of the world.

There may be warriors like Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo in the world who are loyal to the country, but these people are also divided into factions and do not give in to each other. They attack each other without mercy, and they are destined to be difficult in the end.

Jin Guang looked at the still ignorant son Shang Zhixin, and suddenly felt a sigh of regret. If he was placed in Shang Zhixin's position, he would undoubtedly listen to the lesson sincerely, with only gratitude left in his heart!Because this is not just a gossip that Shang Kexi himself said, but also something that King Pingnan of the Great Qing Dynasty and the Patriarch of the Shang family must know!
Jin Guang looked at Shang Zhixin in a hurry, and hurriedly wanted to persuade Shang Zhixin to kneel down and listen to the training, but he didn't know how to explain when he was about to speak.

Tell him, Shang Kexi is teaching the motto of living and living?Shang Zhixin would say that he can open an eight-stone hard bow, wield a long spear and a big lance, and he can get fame and wealth immediately.Tell him, is Shang Kexi intending to pass him the position of vassal king?Shang Zhixin would only say that King Pingnan belonged to him in the first place, and it's not up to you, a slave, to speak!

Shang Kexi looked at Shang Zhixin, Jin Guang lowered his head and said nothing, Shang Zhixin's expression gradually became impatient, and the last trace of expectation in Shang Kexi's eyes also faded, until it was replaced by indifference, and the atmosphere in the meditation room once again settled down.

"Nie Zi, get out!"

Shang Kexi can say some things to Jin Guang and Li Xinghe, but he can't say it to Shang Zhixin alone, he must be aware of it himself.He said just now that he was an outstanding warrior, so why didn't he say that he is walking on thin ice now?Shang Zhixin only remembered that the daughter of the Kong family was handsome, so why didn't he want to think about Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi, the "Three Liaodong Mine Disciples" back then, and now he is the only one left?
Shang Kexi still remembers that in the third year of Shunzhi, his good elder brother Kong Youde was awarded the title of General Pingnan, and went to attack the puppet Ming Yongli. .

After Kong Youde's class teacher returned to Beijing, the situation in the south became uneasy again. Therefore, the Qing government planned to transfer Sanshun Wang Nanzheng. At first, he decided to use Kong Youde to guard Fujian. At this time, Kong Youde "resolutely invited the west of Guangdong", so the Qing court approved it, changed him to be the king of Dingnan, led an army of [-] people to Guangxi, and guarded it with his family.

At this time, the contradiction between the three has gradually become prominent. They all found that the Qing court did not need so many Han vassal kings, let alone so many disobedient warlords. to highlight its own uniqueness.

Shang Kexi understood this truth at that time, and that's why he made trouble when his second elder brother Geng Zhongming's hiding and escape happened, just to monopolize Pingnan's affairs and annex the Geng family's power.

However, things changed drastically, people were caught off guard, and all the results were clear. Kong Youde went to Guangxi in a dangerous way, and finally defeated Guilin and died in the hands of Li Dingguo. Over the years, he has benefited Dorgon and Shunzhi, and he sought stability by himself. Marching into Guangzhou, he was also surrounded by dangers in the process of conquering Guangzhou Mansion, and almost died there. Fortunately, the assassin missed Geng Jimao's auxiliary vehicle, only turning him into a terrifying appearance who was neither human nor ghost.

Wu Sangui is now full of vigor and high spirits. He only needs to take down Yongli's head to invite him to be crowned Wang Fenghou and Yongzhen Yunnan. He also specially sent people to cooperate with him, but Wu Sangui is still too young after all.He has only seen the fierce Manchurians outside Shanhaiguan, and Li Zicheng, who is a piece of rock, but he doesn't know that there are more terrifying enemies in this world.

The so-called Pingnan Dingxi by the Qing court at the beginning was a trap, and the situation had already reached the point where the world was turned against. It is only Shang Kexi who acted cautiously and had God's help in order to finally earn the title of Pingnan King.Ke Shang Kexi wakes up from nightmares countless times, only thinking that the word "Wang" is a reminder, and he should have died under the arrow in the back!

It was only a few years ago, Kong Youde died, Nikan died, Geng Zhongming died, the hypocritical Hong Guang, Long Wu, and Shao Wu also died, Geng Jimao was not alive, even the mighty regent Dole Dagon also died on the way of hunting for no apparent reason!

Shang Kexi also knew intuitively that someone must have planned all of this on purpose, quietly using the world as a chessboard and heroes as pawns, and lightly manipulating the general situation in their hands, as if it was just to give this slightly narrow land Jiangshan vacated the space for the heroes who are about to appear...

He gripped the handle of the saber tightly, and couldn't help but tremble all over, because he thought of the cold-blooded butcher who watched wolf and eagle, and recalled their confrontation between life and death in Guangzhou City again and again, and that This crazy, evil, cruel and ruthless look is the source of Shang Kexi's sleepless nightmares!

"Father, I came here to tell you that Mr. Li Xinghe disappeared from the residence, do you know his whereabouts?"

Shang Kexi's breathing quickened, and he suddenly suppressed the uneasiness surging in his heart, and his voice was raised due to the stagnation of anger.

"Don't ask any more questions, go back to the mansion immediately!"

The sound of cursing sounded, and Shang Zhixin pushed open the door of the meditation room in embarrassment, preparing to ride back to the mansion in the rain, and then find a servant to beat him up to vent his anger, but found that there was a mess outside the door, and the soldiers of the Pingnan Palace kept coming and going. Look flustered.

Shang Kexi stepped out of the door first, and called the guard at the door: "What's going on?"

"Report to your lord! The main hall on the west side of the Zen Temple caught fire suddenly, and many tourists were trapped inside. The monk tore down the courtyard wall to let the tourists out, so there was a little conflict with the people in the palace."

"But later the courtyard wall swayed and smashed into another scripture storage room. The monks came to clean up the scriptures, so we stopped them."

King Pingnan's blue robes were very eye-catching. After listening intently, he said decisively.

"Setting fire and burning food to disturb the morale of the army, driving the people to attack the city and disrupt the enemy's position, these are the leftovers of this king's game."

Shang Kexi smiled contemptuously, pointed to the direction where the courtyard wall was torn down, and said, "The tricks of the people in the Jianghu, what are you afraid of catching fire now that it's raining continuously? Immediately send people to surround the wall, and no one will be allowed in or out!"

Jin Guang also quickly echoed: "My lord, the other party must be targeting the imprisoned martial arts practitioners. We are afraid that we will fall into the opponent's hands by dispatching troops at this time..."

Shang Kexi said confidently: "That's because they only know one thing and don't know the other thing. Now this city is full of people from the Pingnan Palace, no matter how much they hide their whereabouts, they can't hide their whereabouts. In the end, they will only be wiped out— —What this king wants is for them to break in and save people!"

He waved his hand, "The whole army guards the courtyard wall and will not relax!"

In the heavy rain, the hurried footsteps come and go one after another, but the figure is invisible, everything seems to be a story isolated in another world.

Then, as Shang Kexi said, when the people from Pingnan Palace went to block the collapsed courtyard wall, several masked figures immediately appeared on top of the wall, stepping on Daiwa with both feet, and quickly passed by. From the roof of the side courtyard of Guangxiao Temple, he jumped into the main hall where martial arts practitioners were imprisoned, and the red wooden door of the other courtyard was knocked down immediately.

"Father, it's the thieves! Let's go and catch them!"

Shang Zhixin didn't want to leave as soon as he saw the excitement, and wanted to lead his troops to make a splash, but found that several figures appeared from the southeast and northwest at the same time, turned around and fought against King Pingnan's personal guards. In one place, the shadows of swords and swords made people feel terrified, and the screams and shouts of killing were swallowed up in the rain, leaving only pools of blood slowly fainting in the heavy rain.

Among them are sword masters with ethereal stature, hidden weapon masters with sharp blades like rain, and outsider masters who look like ghosts. Almost all of them can fight ten against one, instantly turning the situation of strength from strength to strength.

"Strongly attack the central army and directly capture the enemy's chieftain? Interesting!"

Shang Kexi's eyes burst out with astonishing light, and his old appearance seemed to be reinjected with vitality.

"I will use such a trick to detour and exhaust the enemy, attacking and saving him, I can't imagine that there are also soldiers who know soldiers among the thieves!"

A series of plausible conspiracies and schemes appeared at the same time, which made Shang Kexi feel dizzy. The opponent's grasp of people's hearts is so precise, so that his way of cracking it is already in the opponent's expectation. It is inevitable that the other party will see the flaws - no wonder the fire is set on a rainy day, it turns out that it is intentional to show weakness to the enemy!

The counselor Jin Guang immediately said: "Your Majesty, ask your subordinates to escort you away first. As long as you are safe and sound, the thief will have nothing to do!"

Jin Guang obviously also saw the uniqueness of the other party's strategy, and immediately offered a countermeasure to draw the salary from the bottom of the pot. For a while, the secluded courtyard of Guangxiao Temple was full of shouts and killings, and it turned into a Shura battlefield of desperate struggle. Everyone in it It is impossible to judge whether he is a chess player or a pawn.

However, Shang Kexi did not panic, a team of armored guards walked out from the side hall, guarding Shang Kexi at the very center, watching the continuation of the fight with cold eyes.

The so-called full of tricks in marching operations is only to reduce the chance of one's own flaws, not to use the weak to defeat the strong and win by taking risks.If someone really does this, it is not the way to win, but the way to die.

Since ancient times, the way of using troops has been to use righteousness and surprise to win, and the "strange" here does not refer to tricks and tricks, but refers to the extra part of the troops, that is, when fighting the enemy with regular troops, always be prepared An extra force is a surprise soldier!

The martial arts practitioners in the side hall had already broken free from the captivity, rushed out of the encirclement and converged one after another, struggling to escape to the outside of Guangxiao Temple, but Shang Kexi's uncertain expression finally showed a hint of a smile.

Surrounded by armored personal guards, he stretched out a hand high, and then a row of black gun muzzles appeared in the East Meditation Room, facing the martial arts practitioners who were about to turn their backs on them...
