Chapter 377 Chapter 380
Shen Mu's eyes fell on the letter in his hand, seeing the words "Mr. Kou Zhong Watching" written in six polite and beautiful characters while keeping a distance, he felt a pain in his heart.Qiang Yan smiled and said: "It turns out that the owner of the beautiful woman regards me as his own family, but he doesn't know what identity he regards me as? But the owner has to personally enforce the family law on me, which is what I wish for. I just touched your neck with your jade hand , that touching feeling will never be forgotten in this life."

Shang Xiuxun blushed slightly, and said fiercely: "If you talk nonsense to me again, I will immediately lead the people back to the pasture and ignore you again."

Shen Mu pondered for a while, then wrapped the letter and Lu Miaozi's secret book together with oilcloth and hid them. He sat down on a big rock beside the stream, wiped the water on his face, pointed to the other big rock and said, "Sit down." Shall we talk next time?"

When Shang Xiuxun happily sat down, Shen Mu handed over the dry food and said with a smile: "The host, please do me a favor, your eating manner is the most beautiful in the world."

Shang Xiuxun divided the dry rations he handed over, but showed no signs of displeasure, and instead happily asked: "How beautiful is it? Only you can say that."

Shen Mu had already figured out her character. Although she loves to be superior, her heart is very lonely and irritable. After thinking for a while, she said softly: "It's like when I eat, I just swallow jujubes whole and fill my stomach. But the owner eats When eating food, his expression is extremely cute, full of curiosity and looking for secrets, but also like refusing to welcome. If delicious food is more precious and important, the posture of eating is more graceful and incomparable. The innocence of the little girl. Oh! Show me whether you are willing to eat, and whether you need me to feed you. If I get this honor, it will be a greater honor than dominating the world. Why don’t you marry me ! Then I can get some good things out to serve you every day.”

Shang Xiuxun laughed so that all the branches trembled, and scolded: "It's nice to find you to amuse yourself when you have nothing to do. You can talk about everything like a hype, fascinating. How can you refuse to eat? At most It’s just like fighting a war to find out the reality first, and then decide the way to advance or retreat. There is no rule for women to marry men, do you think I am a Dongming woman?”

Shen Mu saw that she couldn't help laughing, and she still had a charming and indifferent expression, and said happily: "You don't go out of the boudoir in three steps, but you can't even hide the custom of Dongming's marriage of men and women. Great powers."

Shang Xiuxun was obviously very interested in talking, so he rolled his eyes triumphantly and said: "Don't forget that Lu Miaozi loves to talk to my mother when playing chess. And mother likes to tell me all kinds of strange things he said in detail. stated."

Shen Mu's heart skipped a beat: "Then have you heard of the eight masters of the evil sect?"

Shang Xiuxun straightened her waist and said proudly: "Of course I have heard of it."

Shen Mu said happily: "I'm about to collect information about this, so come and hear it."

Shang Xiuxun tilted her head sideways with a smile on her face.With an interesting expression of thinking and recalling, he said spontaneously: "People in the evil way act in secrets and unpredictable ways, so those who know what's going on inside are very few. Conceal the origin of the origin, so as not to arouse the siege and attack of people who claim to be righteous."

Shen Mu asked in surprise, "What two factions and six ways?"

Shang Xiuxun said: "The two factions are the Yingui Sect and the Huajian Sect..."

Shen Mu said in astonishment: "Hua Jian Pai, the name sounds pretty nice, but I've never heard it mentioned before."

Shang Xiuxun said: "The two factions have always been headed by the Yingui faction. It's not because the Huajian faction is inferior to the Yingui faction. It's just that the Huajian faction only has one person in each generation, so their identities are very secretive. Even the members of the Demon Sect don't know who it is. The successor of Huajian School."

Shen Mu was puzzled and said: "If the successor dies due to a mistake in the practice, or dies suddenly, wouldn't the transmission be extinct because of this? Although this situation is rare, it will inevitably happen over the years."

Shang Xiuxun said unhappily: "You love to find flaws and gossip, and people naturally have ways to guard against it! They have a so-called 'Sect Protector', who is responsible for preserving the notes and experience of the various generations of the sect and the knowledge of the sect. Classic, to ensure that the Huajian school will not be lost."

Shen Mu smiled wryly: "Then it's not one descendant per generation, at least two. You'll blame me for speaking ironically."

Shang Xiuxun said: "It's just that you don't understand carefully! This 'protector of the sect' is not a member of the Huajian sect, but just keeps the Huajian sect's classics on his behalf. More strictly speaking, he should know the collection of these classics. Where, and it must be a daughter, because the Huajian School's martial arts are suitable for men and not for women, if a woman is forced to practice, there will be disasters."

Shen Mu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said: "This Huajian faction is really weird. The ones trained must be lonely and mysterious weirdos. Oh! You are so beautiful, the owner!"

The sun rises behind Shang Xiuxun.Enveloping her in the bright sunlight, the effect is like sublimating and purifying her, so delicate and beautiful that Shen Mu blurted out words of praise.

Shang Xiuxun frowned slightly and said, "Don't change the subject, the descendants of the Huajian School are not lonely by nature, but pursue loneliness, because the Huajian School has a belief that the relationship between people is superfluous and meaningless , it is a further derivation of Lao Tzu Li Er's thought that "old age and death do not communicate with each other".

Shen Muda asked with great interest: "Going to the extreme like this, but you still want to choose such a beautiful name, does the host know who is the descendant of this generation of Huajian School? Is it one of the eight masters of the evil way?"

Shang Xiuxun shrugged and shook his head and said: "I said earlier that even people from the Demon Sect can't figure it out, let alone I am not from the Demon Sect. As for the Huajian School's successor of the previous generation, Lu Miaozi guessed that it was Ling Cihang Jingzhai. Bixiu's heart moved Shi Zhixuan, because all the disciples of the Huajian School are Pianpianjia, handsome and elegant, so they can soar among the famous flowers, treat the sentient beings with ruthlessness, and break the hearts of women all over the world. Hey! What is your face? become so ugly?"

Shen Mu took a deep breath and said, "I know who the successor of this generation of Huajian School is."

Shang Xiuxun caught up with Shen Mu and Bai Wenyuan who were leading the way from behind, and asked, "According to the hoofprints and footprints, the bandit soldiers probably walked in this direction."

Shen Mu fell a little behind and walked side by side with her, explaining: "Because Cao thief will camp and rest during the day, we are only half a day away from him now, and the sound of hooves alone can alert him, so we have to take a detour Hurry ahead of them, and when they march at night, then ambushes and burn food."

Shang Xiuxun said with satisfaction: "Your answer is reasonable!"

Shen Mu really wanted to continue asking her about the two factions and six ways of the Demon Sect, but he had to hurry on the road at full speed, so he had to be bored for the time being.At dusk, they made a big circle, returned to the plain from the mountain road, and rushed to the front of the bandit army. If it weren't for Bai Wenyuan, an old horse who knows the way, even if they thought of such a wonderful method, it would be difficult to implement it.If you make a mistake and get lost, you will miss the great opportunity.

Shen Mu made a decisive decision, chose a hill, and hid the ambush behind the hillside facing the enemy's only way.When he and Shang Xiuxun visited the top of the hill, he took the opportunity to ask her about the Huajian School again, and said: "If Shi Zhixuan is the descendant of the previous generation of Huajian School, and Bi Xiuxin falls in love with him, does it mean Cihang Jingzhai?" Had a miserable defeat?"

Shang Xiuxun pondered and said: "The matter seems to be far more complicated than you imagined. Mother has discussed this matter with Lu Miaozi many times. Even Lu Miaozi doesn't know the details. I only know that Shi Zhixuan may be a rare and outstanding master of the Huajian School. , is not inferior to Zhu Yuyan and the evil emperor Xiang Yutian, do you know who Xiang Yutian is?"

Shen Mu said: "I just happened to know, and I also know that there is such a weird thing as the evil emperor's relic."

Shang Xiuxun was surprised and said: "How do you know? This is the most secret thing in the Demon Sect, even among themselves they are strictly forbidden to mention it to each other."

Shen Mu said: "The reason why I heard about this is because Young Master Ling met Bi Xiuxin and Shi Zhixuan's daughter Shi Qingxuan by chance, otherwise I wouldn't even know the existence of the eight masters of the evil way."

Shang Xiuxun felt emotions that even she didn't understand, she seemed not happy to hear Xu Ziling's name associated with Shi Qingxuan.Could not help but remain silent.The sky darkened, and the cloudy night sky occasionally saw sparse and dim starlight, and the moon had not yet appeared.

However, Shen Mu said with great interest: "I understand. Didn't you say earlier that the people of the Huajian School treat the sentient beings ruthlessly? Wait for Ruo Ruo to destroy his magic skills. But the problem is that Bi Xiuxin's real enemy should be Zhu Yuyan, so it may not be of any use for her to win Shi Zhixuan in this way, and she will always be defeated by Zhu Yuyan."

Shang Xiuxun expelled the irritating emotions out of her mind, and said calmly: "Bi Xiuxin has indeed failed, and the Jinggong has greatly declined."

Suddenly there was a sound of hoofbeats.The two looked towards the sound of hoofbeats, and saw Luo Fang riding his horse like flying from far to near.Make a hand signal that the enemy is coming this way.

The first thing that passed was the vanguard cavalry of the bandit army.After only three days and four nights, the bandit army of the three bandits changed from disorderly formation to scattered and disorderly.For a while, the plain was full of scattered torch lights.

I don't know if it's because it's only a two-night journey from Zhangshui, so everyone is anxious like a bereaved dog, thinking that crossing Zhangshui will give them a good night's sleep, but it's no wonder they have such thoughts.

Shen Mu is already familiar with ambush warfare, the key is to defeat chaos with specialism, and defeat scattered with unity.Shang Xiuxun leaned closer to Shen Mu's ear and said, "Even though we only have 1000 people now, it is still not impossible to win against them."

Shen Mu shook his head and said: "This time we are not asking for only one victory, but to completely wipe out these thieves who have harmed the world, and to minimize our own casualties. Only then will we show our ability."

Suddenly recalling the past, he asked casually, "How could Tao Shusheng have been bought by these rogues to betray the ranch?"

Shang Xiuxun's pretty eyes sparkled sharply, and he said coldly: "How could Cao Yinglong be able to buy him, the one who bought him was Li Mi!"

Shen Mu finally solved the mystery.

On the other side, Bai Wenyuan peeked at the enemy troops passing by Luoyi from a gap in the trees, and said in a low voice: "The cavalry at the head of the team is three miles away from the grain truck at the rear. As long as we are fast enough, we can turn around before the enemy cavalry. Before coming to rescue, the whole division retreats in time."

Shen Mu shouted: "Get on the horse!"

Shang Xiuxun hurriedly issued an order and passed it on quickly.

A thousand ranch warriors stepped on their horses one after another.

Hundreds of them were holding torches and preparing to burn grain carts.

Hundreds of grain carts finally appeared in front of them. Most of the 500 bandit soldiers protecting the grain carts were infantry, and there were less than [-] cavalry.

Shen Mu looked for the right time, suddenly shouted wildly, rode out from the dense forest of Qiupo, and rushed towards the enemy's grain convoy at the head of the horse.

The long sword is held high in the sky.

Shang Xiuxun, Bai Wenyuan, Luo Fang, Xu Yang and others followed closely behind, followed by a thousand horsemen from the ranch, covering the enemy in a fan formation.

The torches are lit to illuminate the night sky, adding to the momentum of galloping horses.

The enemy's team immediately became chaotic, and when the quick-reacting ones were about to draw their bows and set their arrows, hundreds of powerful arrows were shot at them like raindrops.

The chaos spread from the rear of the team to the central army and the vanguard like a tide. Cao Yinglong relied on the bandits who were plundering Jiangbei to trample on each other.

Shen Mu was the first to charge into the enemy's formation, his long sword flashing like a yellow awn, he first chopped off the four bandit soldiers who came on horseback with their weapons and flew away from the horse's back, and rushed straight into the depths of the enemy army, blocking invincible.The most powerful thing is that there is no need to strike the opponent with a long sword, just the energy of the sword can make the enemy bleed to death from seven holes.

The ranch fine cavalry rushed the enemy from the sky like the entire grain cart team and the forward of the Chinese army were separated from each other, and they were completely passive.

Two grain trucks caught fire first, and flames and smoke rose into the sky.

Shang Xiuxun used a long spear, and because there were many generals guarding her around, she was even more imposing, causing the enemies to scream.

In less than half an hour, the entire grain convoy was paralyzed and broken into several pieces, the bandits scattered and fled for their lives, and even the driver jumped out of the car to escape.

The grain carts turned forward and backward were lit by torches and burned, turning into a sea of ​​flames.

Shen Mu was able to kill, and led more than a hundred bandit soldiers who turned around to help them back. They didn't shout to retreat until they saw the opponent's vanguard cavalry, led by Cao Yinglong, coming from both sides of the front.

The raid was finally over.

At dusk, Shen Mu and Luo Fang's vanguard army first arrived at a hill overlooking the Zhangshui River. The east bank of the Zhangshui River was full of enemy soldiers, forming an formation, posing a last stand.

Shen Mu laughed and said: "Cao Yinglong really has two tricks, but he made two big mistakes."

Luo Fang was surprised and said: "I think the strategy he is using now is very clever. If we attack rashly, there will be heavy casualties."

Shen Mu laughed dumbly and said: "He is just showing his appearance. First of all, he has lost all food and grass. How long can he fight on an empty stomach? As long as we trap him here, he can only end up with annihilation of the entire army. This is the first mistake. "

After a pause, he continued: "The second mistake was that he thought I didn't know that he was waiting for dark to build a pontoon bridge, and then sneaked across the river. This plan was brilliant, but he didn't know that there were ambush soldiers waiting for him on the other side. Thieves driving."

The people on the left and right were all in high spirits when they heard this, and everyone hated Cao Jun who had killed their relatives and friends, and they must wipe them out as soon as possible.

The time for revenge has finally come.

Luo Fang asked furiously, "When should we attack?"

Shen Mu shouted: "It's up to Xu Ziling to decide. When they set off a firework signal on the other side, it will be the moment when Thief Cao pays off all debts with blood."

"Chong"!
Shen Mu drew out his long sword, pointed at the sky, and shouted with pride: "Light the torches, erect them on the top of each hill, and dig trenches at the same time. I want to teach the enemy that no one can slip through the net. The ranch soldiers must win, and the bandit soldiers must lose." In an instant, the situation of defending Jingling in the past reappeared at this moment, only changing the offensive and defensive situation.

All the soldiers suddenly responded.

As the night fell, Xu Ziling put the pomegranate stick on the horse's back, and in the woods on a hilly slope, he and Xuan Yong monitored the enemy's every move.

Cao Jun lit hundreds of torches on the opposite bank to form an formation, but secretly sent people to build a pontoon bridge.

Xuan Yong said worriedly: "If Cao Yinglong followed suit and ordered those who crossed the river to form an formation here, with our strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat him."

At this time, five of the eight pontoon bridges had been completed, and the cavalry led the horses to cross the river first, and the situation became more urgent.

Xu Ziling smiled and said, "In a normal situation, we really can't do anything to him. But if you look closely at them, everyone looks hungry and tired. As long as your eight catapults can create some chaos, such as breaking One of the pontoon bridges ensures that the enemy will collapse without a fight, and no matter what formation is formed, it will not work."

Xuanyong regained his confidence, nodded and said: "I am really worried about gains and losses. We are deliberately recharging our energy and recharging our energy, but also attacking those who are unprepared. I know the enemy but the other does not know me, and I am invincible. Hey! How can Master Xu be here? At a moment when this kind of war is about to break out, are you still so calm?"

Xu Ziling said indifferently: "As long as you can completely ignore the success or failure of life and death, you will be able to relax and be at ease. Only in this way can you fully display your ability."

Xuan Yong showed a look of admiration, and said in a low voice: "Xuan Yong is taught!"

The eight-way pontoon bridge was finally completed, and in less than an hour and a half, the number of people crossing the river increased sharply, and they flooded the grasslands on the west bank of Zhangshui River in an endless stream.

Most of the people and horses couldn't hold on, and after crossing the river, they all sat down on the ground, so there was no fighting spirit at all.

Xuan Yongdao: "When should we attack?"

Xu Ziling's tiger eyes lit up suddenly, and he said, "Cao Yinglong and Fang Jianding have already crossed the river! Let Xiang Batian take advantage of Shen Mu!"

Then he shouted: "Light the torch!"

The sound of war drums and horns boomed behind him at the same time.

The sound of shouting and killing and the sound of arrows and stones piercing the sky shook the sky on the east bank. From the perspective of the ranch warriors, thousands of torches were lit up on the hills on the other side, illuminating the river bank and the sky blood red, and illuminating the pontoon bridge that was originally hidden in darkness. Every detail is revealed.The place where the torches light up is even more shadowy, as if there are thousands of horses and thousands of troops.

Shang Xiuxun wondered, "Why are there so many people?"

Shen Mu laughed dumbly and said, "What a boy! You know how to bluff, even I was intimidated by him."

"boom"!
A boulder accurately hit one of the pontoon bridges, and more than a hundred people on it fell into the water immediately, in a panic.Hundreds of archers appeared not far upstream and downstream at the same time, mercilessly firing at the fallen swimmers swimming towards them.
