Great Sui Guoshi

"There seemed to be something there just now... Hey, the old Taoist priest ran faster than the young Taoist priest, and it disappeared so quickly."

He rushed down to the top of the mountain, circled around the forest, went back and picked out a rag of Taoist robe and strung it on the tip of the sword, and flew under the bright red clouds again, crossing the mountains, forests and rivers to the river in the north.

Hearing the sound of the magic sword flying back, Lu Liangsheng raised his head. From the corner of his eyes, he also saw the red glow with a long tail outside the clouds, which was a little bigger than the previous few days.

'Got to speed up...'

He tilted his head to look at the Taoist who was stroking off his mustache. The latter was holding his hands behind his back, raised his head to look at the sky, noticed the scholar's gaze, and turned his face sideways.

"Why? Let Ben Dao stand for a while."

"Okay, then you take my Uncle Pan and the others with the boat, and I'll go first!"

Lu Liangsheng lowered his voice and explained to him that the red glow had grown bigger again. The Taoist subconsciously looked up at the sky.

However, he knew that only Lu Liangsheng could see that thing, so he waved his hand immediately.

"Let's go quickly, you've ruined all the thoughts I wanted to pretend for a while."

"Then take care of this place more." Lu Liangsheng warned again, went down and briefly explained the situation to Han Qinhu and Lu Pan, then turned around and walked to the side of the boat, passed the words of the law into the water, and summoned the old Jiao who was lurking at the bottom of the river , when the bubbles on the surface of the water rose rumblingly, his figure jumped out of everyone's sight, fell to the surface of the water, and firmly stepped on the front of the long black shadow under the water surface.

"...What a faux pas right now."

Hahaha.....haha...

The underwater long-term impact neighed, and the words that passed into Lu Liangsheng's ears were understandable words.

"Fellow Daoist Lu don't have to feel rude, just remember to give Fengzheng in the future, either the Wei River or the Jing River will do."

The neighing stopped, and the long shadow floating in the water swam out, and the waves of the water hit the hull of the ship. Among the ripples that were pushed away, a group of soldiers standing on the deck, Han Qinhu, Sun Yingxian, Lu Pan, Zhu In the sight of Gang Li and the others, Chang Ying, carrying the scholar on his back, overtook the ship in a blink of an eye and disappeared at the end of the river.

Yue Hao, who came back from afar, came down to the surface of the water with a gleam of coldness, cut through the water waves, drifted a few bends, and flew straight to the figure standing on the water surface, who was approaching quickly, turned sharply, pointed the tip of the sword at the scholar's waist and inserted it into the scabbard , The moment they were closed, a moan of "Ah..." was faintly heard.

The scholar stretched out his hand to check the hilt of his sword, and then raised his gaze to see some pieces of rags in his hand. He pressed his lips tightly together for a moment, then let go of his fingers, and the pieces floated to the rear with the blowing river wind.

The blue hair stroked, Lu Liangsheng put his hands behind his back, and stood on the top of the old Jiao, and quickly walked through the mountains and rivers on both sides of the bank, and the mountain village with green smoke.

Birds glide across the river.

In the sunshine, it is like a picture of immortals crossing the river.

.......

In the south, it is raining continuously, soaking the land.

Chen Fu supported an old tree and came out of the forest staggeringly. The magic weapon Taoist robe he made was broken, and he walked on the road wearing only an inner garment. His hair was messed up and stained with muddy water. He looked quite embarrassed.

"This Lu Liangsheng...has a fairy sword...thousands of miles away...you can kill him, this old man is careless."

His beard and beard mixed with rain and dew trembled, and he murmured a few words intermittently. The old man sat on a stone by the roadside in the rain, with his eyes closed and his legs crossed, and his mana was chaotic.

Soon, the sound of horseshoes sounded at the end of the road.

"drive!"

Tread Tat Tat... The hooves of the galloping horses splashed and splashed water. The leader of several horses was Chen Jing. Seeing the old man sitting with his eyes closed on the side of the road, he reined in the reins, 'Woo With a sound, before the horse stopped, he turned over and jumped off.

"Master!"

Chen Fu slightly opened his eyes, saw the young man coming, and nodded with a smile.

"Didn't Your Majesty go to Hegu County with General Cao?"

"I..... I didn't see Master. I was a little worried, so I searched around..." In fact, he felt that there was a magical resistance from this side, so he broke away from the advancing army and headed this way. Come here, right now, in front of Master, naturally you can't say that.

His tone paused, Chen Jing looked at the old man's appearance, and hesitated for a moment: "Master, where is your Taoist robe?"

"Hehe.....For the teacher, I calculated that there is a tiger nearby."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then straightened his face, and pointed solemnly to the outline of a certain mountain outside the green rain curtain, "Became a monster, this big tiger with eye-catching white forehead is really powerful. Alright, knock it away, drive it out of the mountain, and save the people in several villages at the foot of the mountain."

It seems that the tiger monster must be a big monster if he can put Master in such a mess...

Thinking about it, Chen Jing helped his master up and put him on the horse's back. The old man sat up straight, shook the reins, and turned the horse's head.

"Your Majesty, what's going on in River Valley County?"

"The formation is being organized at the front to screen out the siege soldiers."

Chen Fu was silent for a while, looked to the east of the rain curtain, and opened his mouth slowly.

"No time, tell General Cao to take Hegu County as soon as possible!"

After finishing speaking, he cracked the whip in his hand and shouted: "Drive!"

When he rushed to the front of the mountain road first, Chen Jing also cracked his whip one by one, and galloped wildly in the rain.

Chapter 464 Who is the home of the thieves in the dying years?

rustle.......

The drizzle washes over the forest and fields, puddles are formed on the mud road, and the raindrops fall to the water surface, causing circles of ripples, and suddenly there is a sound of 'wow', splashing together with the mud, and the horseshoes kick up the mud and rush over.

Amidst the green rain, several riders galloped wildly in the rain, along the dirt path stepped on by countless footsteps, extending in the direction of Hegu County. For soldiers who are good at riding horses and monks, it takes only half an hour. .

Chen Fu and Chen Jing, master and apprentice, caught up with the 2 people led by Cao Shouren and got off their horses. After passing through the rear, people around screamed, and the recruited civilians carried armor and siege equipment in batches.

Arriving at the Chinese army, looking at the long line of troops, the forest of guns and spears reflected the coldness, Chen Jing looked at the city wall, hesitant to speak, but the old man next to him rushed forward and spoke first.

"This city is determined to fight to the death, so let them be fulfilled, General Cao! Pass the order."

A general named Cao Shouren was riding on a big green and black horse, stroking the restless horse, and staring at the city more than 30 feet away in front of him. On the stretching city wall, the guards had erected shields. I could see the figures of many people running back and forth, and I could vaguely hear their shouts.

This black and strong man turned out to be the head of the guards in the Chen Dynasty Palace, and he gained the trust of the late Emperor Chen Shubao. He took back the concubine and prince who came back from visiting relatives, and gained a little capital for promotion. Unfortunately, it happened at a bad time. Sooner or later, the motherland is gone.

After that, he opened the palace gate and surrendered, gritted his teeth and started all over again. With his superb martial arts skills, he finally gained some capital and became a small school in Wantong County. He originally thought that this would be such a great achievement in his life.

Unexpectedly, the emperor of the Chen Dynasty came back again, holding mysterious spells in his hands. During those few days, he couldn't sleep all night. He sat up and looked at the bronze mirror. After all, he slammed his tight fist on the table with a bang, picked up the precious sword hanging on the wall, put on his armor, and led his confidants to attack the city gate overnight...

"People who have been in a hurry for decades can't hold regrets and bury them in the soil, even if they are shrouded in horse leather!" '

His eyes swept across the city wall in the distance, he retracted the hand stroking the mane of the war horse, and slowly grasped the handle of the knife at his waist. In front of his vision, the soldiers who attacked the city were already ready. Stepping forward, Qi Qi stepped forward in formation.

The flags were flying, the banners of 'Cao and Chen', above the restless horses, Cao Shouren pulled out the blade bit by bit, and the snow-white and cold blade was slowly lifted from his hand against the rain.

"The order!"

At a certain moment, the sword cut down.

The majestic voice resounded through the array: "—Siege!!"

The knight who sent the order spurred his horse to gallop, and passed down the order along the various phalanxes. On both sides of the central army, the soldiers on the carriages heard the shout of the order, waved their arms, and beat the drums.

Boom!

Boom!

The sound of the drums continued, and after crossing the city wall where countless figures were running, there was a street with wet bricks. Pedestrians walked in a hurry, the shop drove away the customers, and quickly closed the shop door. The man with his head out looked around, He was pulled in by his wife behind him, knocked the door shut and bolted it.

The wind was raging, and every household began to close their doors and windows, and it was difficult to see a person on the street.

In the Zhou residence, raindrops were dripping from the eaves, and the lights in the study flickered. The old man who was writing the letter vaguely heard something and stopped writing.

Looking at the door, a servant stumbled and ran across the corridor, but was stopped by the old servant in charge, standing by the door, panting and pointing outside.

"Old...Master, something serious happened, please call from outside..."

The old servant who stopped the servant looked worriedly at Zhou Zhen in the study. The latter's face was not very good-looking, his lips were tightly pursed and he was silent, and his long beard was trembling slightly.

After a while, the old man put down the brush, put it aside the inkstone and stood up, glanced at the volumes of books and bamboo slips that were neatly stacked on the bookshelves all over the room, took the pear wood stick that was leaning next to him, and walked out of the room.

"Master, what is this for?!"

The old servant followed behind, shouted, and gestured with the other hand to the servant who was standing there dumbfounded. The latter reacted and ran towards the backyard with his legs loose.

Zhou Zhen ignored the servant's yelling and walked to the front yard. The voice from a distance became clearer and clearer. As a senior scholar who once wrote an essay at Denglong Pavilion in Chen Chao, he could still distinguish the sound of war drums.

"...The Chen Dynasty people kept saying that they were good at fighting, so many Chen people died directly or indirectly in their hands."

The crutch in his hand leaned heavily on the ground.

"Not a son of man!!"

Immediately, he called the old servant to prepare the carriage, and sent people to run around to tell the scholars in the city that the old wife who came from the backyard came to stop him, but the old man pushed him away.

Zhou Zhen climbed into the car, struggling to stand upright, his beard opened angrily, trembling on his lips.

"What Duke Shu Hua dares to do, I will also dare to do. The world is finally at peace. How can these ants and insects destroy it!!!"

Someone in the family rushed out of the courtyard to stop the carriage, but the old woman stopped her with her hand. She watched the carriage drive away, then slowly put down her hand, took a breath, straightened her back, and cursed with red eyes: " Old stuff."

He turned his head and waved his crutches to the servants and maids around him.

"What are you doing with a mournful face? Your master is doing the right thing! You should be happy! Make me laugh!"

Street leading to West City.

The carriage drove through the wet long street, Zhou Zhen listened to the sound of war drums coming from ahead, opened the curtain and looked at the street view, there was no one there, and soldiers on horseback would pass by from time to time, and when they saw this carriage, they stopped to check and looked The old man who sat in the car was released immediately.

"Master, it's...here."

The coachman's trembling voice sounded outside, and when the carriage stopped fifty feet away from the west city gate, the old man lifted the curtain, and with the support of the coachman, he got down with a cane.

"go!"

Zhou Zhen glanced at the city gate where the soldiers and horses were assembled, and walked slowly step by step. After forty or fifty steps, he was out of breath. I recognize it.

"Ouch, Bachelor Zhou, why are you here?!"

The old man nodded to him, and said: "Old man, come and see what the thieves who harmed the people look like!" He passed the sheriff and walked up to the city wall.

The soldiers passing by stopped in their tracks, and when they saw an old man in uniform coming up with panicked faces, their expressions froze for a moment.

"An old man... who is it?"

"Hey, isn't this old scholar Zhou? He's a close friend of Duke Shuhua."

"Really? I've heard of it too. I can't imagine seeing a real person today."

"I also said that it seems that Lu Lang in Qixia Mountain was also his bachelor back then."

Walking past the group of soldiers talking in low voices on the city wall, the old man came behind the shield-wielding soldier, patted him on the shoulder, and looked through the gap to see the lead-green rain outside.

With the sound of drums, several phalanxes were slowly pushed forward, and some ladders were slowly erected. The archers defending the city here also pulled up their arrows at this time. Look up to the sky.

The old man soaked in this air of gold and iron for a moment, overlooking the dark army pushing outside, his long beard shook, and his voice, which was no longer majestic, roared resoundingly in this moment of silence.

"Wait, traitors—"

Chapter 465 half of the motherland, half of the world

"Wait, traitors and traitors!!"

On the top of the city, flags with the word "Sui" fluttered.

Under the pattering rain curtain, there was a silence on the city wall. When many soldiers heard the old hoarse roar, even the generals were stunned for a moment.

"This is... Bachelor Zhou..."

At that time, Chen Chao Deng Longge, a scholar, stood under the banner of Sui Zi, and called the Chen Chao army who had risen outside the city to be rebellious officials and thieves, which made people feel indescribably complicated.

Behind the slowly advancing army formation outside the city, Cao Shouren held the handle of the knife, heard the hoarseness echoing in the sky, his eyelids twitched, and seemed to see the old man standing on the top of the city.

"This old man... is that grand scholar?"

After hesitating for a while, he turned to look at the emperor behind him, and Chen Fu. The latter was expressionless and didn't say anything. Cao Shouren could only turn back. He had heard of that old man before, and he was the student of his benefactor, Lu Liangsheng. Teacher, but the other party finally stood on the opposite side...

Continue to urge the attacking front team to advance towards the city wall, taking advantage of the idle time of giving orders, to convey to the front soldiers that they must not harm the old man when attacking the city.

Boom boom boom... boom boom!

The four phalanxes pushed towards the city wall, and the soldiers stepped on the drums and became more and more dense. On the city wall, the generals guarding the city and the county guard who rushed up went to persuade the old man to go down.

"Get out of the way, the old man is not standing here for the Sui Dynasty, but for my people!! The people in the city behind me!!"

Zhou Zhen struggled to get away from the sheriff's arm with a cane, walked past a wall, and simply dropped the pear stick in his hand, and climbed up the wall. ,

Like a person looking at an army.

The wind blows, and the beard and hair are caressed. The old man looks at the rebels who are slowly pushing down below.
