the enlightener says

The ancient sword Zhanlu was still in its scabbard. Liu De didn't draw his sword, but slightly rolled up the sleeve of his Confucian robe, raised a hand and said, "Then... I'm asking for advice."

In the silent darkness, only the sound of sewage dripping, the mice drifted quietly in it, looking for all possible food to satisfy their hunger.

The two faced each other with a distance of two feet, standing there seemed to be as long as 100 years.

Then, there was a sudden thunder explosion in the dark ditch!

Neither of them used weapons, but Xiang Chu's physique was so strong that he could even resist Wang Xuanwei who had entered the Saint Realm, and survived. Even Gao Changgong at that time was willing to bow down.

It should be said that Liu De was at a comprehensive disadvantage from the very beginning of the fight. After all, how could a master at the level of a small master fight head-on with a real master?

The whole culvert trembled, and in an instant, Xiang Chu stepped back a dozen steps abruptly, with both legs thrust into the hard stone, and one hand drew a long stroke on the wall of the culvert like a bear. Claw marks.

Liu De still stood where he was, with a smile on his lips, as if nothing had happened before, except for some damage to his clothes and some messy hair.

"So that's how it is." Xiang Chu pulled his legs out of the stone with ease, and he stood up straight again like a giant god, "Your kunshu must have been taught by Zhuge Wolong, as long as your feet If you still step on the ground, you will be able to obtain the power of continuous recovery, no wonder you can do this."

"It's just a fluke. If General Xiang really uses all his strength, I'm afraid I'm still invincible. In just a few fights, my arm has been broken three times. I think even my second brother didn't have such violent power back then. The name really lives up to its name.”

"It's unnecessary if you're complimenting me." Xiang Chu shook his head, "It's really hard for me to imagine what kind of monster a person like you who has learned Kunshu... once he breaks through to the realm of a master, will become a monster. By that time, I will no longer be you opponent."

"That also depends on my being able to break through the realm. My aptitude is not as good as that of a general. I got one of these innate spells by chance. Back then, I quickly broke through the three realms and became a junior master. But after so many years, my cultivation still remains. As a little grandmaster, I know in my heart that I don’t know how long it will be when I want to further enter the grandmaster realm."

"However..." Liu De paused for a moment, and continued: "Is the general still planning to continue fighting with me here? Our movement just now should have been noticed by now. There is still a real monster hidden in Ding'an City." , If we don’t leave, we won’t be able to leave.”

Xiang Chu was silent, as if he was still weighing the pros and cons.

Liu De took a deep breath and saluted respectfully: "In the name of the lord, I come to meet the general. Please don't hesitate any longer."

……

Jing Wu.

Xiaoqian always thought that just tonight, he would witness with his own eyes Huang Hansheng and Gao Changgong, a pair of famous Jingwu generals, set off a battle on the battlefield that would be famous in history.

But maybe it's God's will, or maybe his still young mind is still unable to grasp the trend of this war, so on the battlefield, Huang Hansheng and Gao Changgong only met each other briefly, and then the two passed by. , with no frontal intersection.

"Report! The old general's troops have dispersed the enemy troops, and Sun Tong led his men back nearly thirty miles!"

"Report! The left army has defended the front line, but the casualties have already exceeded half. Old General Han died in battle!"

"Report...Report! The right army...defeated! The last pass has been broken through, casualties are unknown, the general...the general has gone to camp!"

Hearing the last news, Xiaoqian's legs could barely support her body, and she wobbled as if she might fall to the ground at any moment.

"This is... we lost?" He knew very well what the purpose of setting up such an iron wall on his side was.

I thought Gao Changgong was trying to cross the river to cover up that he wanted to cross the line of defense directly from the depression, but Gao Changgong was obviously more deceitful.

Just as they put their last strength on the battlefield, he suddenly made a turning point, and at the same time asked Sun Tongbu to drag Huang Hansheng, cross the river directly to attack the already weak right army, and forcibly pulled away on this line of defense. A hole!

"Idiot! Idiot!" Xiaoqian gritted her teeth, her eyes were red, and she cursed herself like crazy, "If you hit east and west, why not also hit east and west? How can it be easy for people to see through the general's ability? "

He was like an irritable and irritated beast. After turning back and forth a dozen times, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and rushed out of the big tent, intending to ride his horse to find Huang Hansheng himself.

It's just that he ran into Huang Hansheng's troops who were retreating not far from the camp.

After going through this war, although this army seems to have become a little chaotic, and the faces of many old soldiers are full of fatigue, it can be seen that they are still full of fighting spirit, and the spears in their hands are still full of enthusiasm. Spears and banners stood tall like unfallen mountains.

"Old general!" Xiaoqian walked all the way to Huang Hansheng's side, and after taking a look at the blood-stained building and Wang Zhu, he said impatiently: "The general broke through the camp from the right army, we have to send two troops quickly The army pursues, I think all the way from Pingrong Mountain to the south, all the way..."

Who knows that Huang Hansheng was not in a hurry to listen to his words, but waved his hands, looked back at the already scarred army, and said, "Let's talk about these things later. The army needs to be reorganized and has been broken up." Our troops also need to be gathered, and we have lost more than [-] people in this battle."

"How can I do that?" Xiaoqian hurriedly said: "With the general's ability and his most elite Qingzhou ghost cavalry under his command, he can reach the city of Jianye in less than seven days. By then, I, Jingwu, will..."

"I know all of this. According to what I said, regroup the troops." Huang Hansheng interrupted him, as if he wanted to say something, but he just shook his head, waved his hands and led the people towards the camp, leaving only Xiaoqian behind. Sitting alone on the horse, staring blankly at Huang Hansheng's back, wondering if he had misidentified the person.

Chapter 753 Isn't she?

The morning sun rose in the distance, and finally drove away the monsters in the shadows, and returned warmth and light to the land. Just above the barracks, the rays of light fell on the shoulders of everyone like gold, and many injured soldiers died. He just sat on the ground and fell into a drowsy sleep.

The battle last night was fierce, tens of thousands of people were buried here, and many of the wounded who struggled back from life and death may die one after another in the camp.

The women lost their husbands, and the children lost their fathers. There were some mournful Xun sounds in the barracks, like the mournful sound from thousands of miles away.

Huang Hansheng was sitting in the big tent, but he was already thinking about the next step of marching.

The noise outside the door interrupted his thinking, and the guards divided one of them into the big tent with some embarrassment, and asked Huang Hansheng: "General, Zhao Canjun has been making trouble outside for a long time, and he said he would come in to talk to you , and said you..."

He gulped down his saliva, but he still couldn't express Xiaoqian's obscene words.

Huang Hansheng's cultivation level is so strong, although he is old, he has always been able to see and hear. Naturally, he will not fail to hear Xiaoqian's abuse outside, so he smiled helplessly and said: "Young people are always impatient. Let him in, I'm almost done too."

Xiaoqian, who was full of fat, ran in, and the special armor on his body kept shaking, as if it would fall off at any time, but before he could stand still, he shouted angrily: "General! Why are you still wearing it now? If you don't lead people to pursue, are you really going to be Jing Wu's sinner!"

The guards on the side saw that he was talking too aggressively, and were about to come up to stop them, but Huang Hansheng waved his hand to signal them to go down, then he put down the ruler used on the sand table and smiled, "Look at you, if I don't want to, it's hard Are you planning to take me back to Jianye?"

"Of course I can't do this." Xiaoqian gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. "The general has gone through countless battles and has been a role model for me. I only hope that this time, the general will not let us down. If Yes, I am willing to risk my life to die here, as long as it can arouse the general's bloodiness back then."

"Hey, you still want to crash and die here?" Huang Hansheng smiled, "Didn't you say that you will spend your life as a soldier of Jing Wu, why have you changed your mind now and want to die? What about Jing Wu?"

Sensing the sarcasm in Huang Hansheng's words, Xiaoqian glared at Huang Hansheng even more angrily and said, "General! Don't you think I'm lying, that I dare not die in front of you?"

Huang Hansheng stared at his student for a moment, and there was a bit of relief in his eyes. Once upon a time, he was also young, had such bloody courage, and had the courage to go forward indomitably and forget his life?

But as time goes by, people will always tend to be stable. Today, he has to think about things that are not comparable to those in the past, and naturally he can no longer behave like a young man.

"That's all." Huang Hansheng sighed, stepped forward suddenly, and kicked the stool on the side to Xiaoqian's back, while pressing his shoulder with one hand.

It didn't take much effort, Xiaoqian, who didn't have much energy and blood, was pushed down and sat down. The shocked expression on his fat face was cute and funny.

"Young man, don't be so angry. Since you are not the general who will fall into the battle, you should always reflect on yourself. Even the whole army is already like a ball of fire, but you must be as cold as a piece of ice."

Huang Hansheng dispersed the guards guarding the big tent, and then said to Xiao Qian, "You think I don't want to take people to chase after Gao Changgong? But this battle is not over yet, Sun Tong was defeated last night, but he There are still more than 2 people under his command, and once he returns to Kangzhou, he can pull up another [-] troops, so why not let him be a local emperor in his hometown? But will he be willing?"

"Sun Tong is just suffering from an elbow and armpit." Xiao Qian replied very quickly, "But the general is going in the direction of Jianye! Once Jianye falls, what's the use of the general cutting Sun Tong into pieces?"

"Oh, it will be useful to save Jianye?" Huang Hansheng said with a slight smile, "Sun Tong is still outreaching to the Tang army. Even if we can stop Gao Changgong, the outcome is still unknown. But once Sun Tong supports us, it will be at our disadvantage." Even if we can get the right time, place, and people, at most we will win a tragic victory. But Sun Tong’s army, isn’t it my Jingwu army? The Jingwu people beat the Jingwu people. What to resist the Tang army?"

"But..." Xiaoqian opened her mouth, unable to answer.

In fact, he had thought about these things before he set off for the expedition, but he would have exhausted everything just to win against Gao Changgong, and he couldn't take care of further things.

But now that Huang Hansheng suddenly brought up these pros and cons, those thoughts that had been in his mind reappeared again, and it seemed that a raging fire rose before his eyes, and burned everything on this vast river and mountain in Jingwu.

Could it be that Jing Wu is so irresistible that even a veteran like Huang Hansheng is helpless?

"I said that you place too much emphasis on winning or losing, but in this world, winning and losing are not the only things." Huang Hansheng was dressed in military uniform, but when he spoke, he seemed to have changed back to the teacher of the Tai Xuetang, "The current situation is the best. That's right, although Gao Changgong left the camp, he only took away more than 2 people. Even if he could win young and strong all the way, it wouldn't be too many in a while. On the contrary, Sun Tong's subordinates are my Jingwu's Elite teacher, if we can subdue this force, then at least I, Jing Wu, can still retain a force to resist foreign enemies."

"Ke Jianye..."

"Jianye is not as fragile as you imagine." Huang Hansheng seemed to be knocking on Xiaoqian's defenses with every sentence, "In fact, the prime minister and I planned this together."

So Xiaoqian's eyes suddenly widened, and his pupils also became loose. Before that, he didn't know anything about it.

"So, General, you... did it on purpose?" He hesitated.

"That's right." Huang Hansheng nodded slowly, "I have worked with the general for several years, and I only know his temperament better than you. He crossed the river and attacked, seemingly to cover the army in the depression, but what about the army in the depression? Isn't it to cover up his intention of crossing the river and crossing the defense line? Most people can only think of this superficial layer, but if they think that he is nothing more than that, then it is a big mistake. Although both sides of him look empty, both sides are also In fact, he can choose when he wants to attack."

"He never thought he would be able to take away all these [-] troops." Huang Hansheng said in a low voice, "He even left those friendly troops behind so easily, it seems that his mind has indeed been changed , at least the Gao Changgong I know will never be like this."

It would be a lie to say that Gao Changgong became like this, and Huang Hansheng didn't feel sad. The brothers Paoze on the same front were the two men who took over from the Jingwu army. An old man knew that his successor had suddenly rebelled. Heart like a knife.

However, since he led the army to the expedition, he naturally had to bear the responsibility for the safety of Jing Wu in the future.

"Gao Changgong used the army as a bait, while the prime minister used Jianye and himself as a bait. These two people are rare talents in the world, so they dare to do such things that ordinary people can't even imagine. And what I want to do now , not to intercept Gao Changgong or support Jianye, but to prevent Sun Tong from returning to Kangzhou, and then turn the army under his command back into our strong army of Jingwu, and then lead them north to block the Tang army."

"The prime minister..."

"He has his own arrangements. Although he didn't explain it to me, I know he won't take meaningless risks." Having said that, Huang Hansheng looked at Xiaoqian's still hesitant look, suddenly smiled and clapped his hands, "Come in Bar."

A corner of the felt cloth of the big tent was lifted, and Xiaoqian saw the dazzling red dress at first sight, like a flowing flame.

The woman's figure is as soft and beautiful as a swan, her face is covered by a veil, only her eyes are still bright and somewhat glamorous.

But the moment she lifted the veil, Xiaoqian suddenly jumped up from the stool: "You...you are not her? Are you...who?"

Chapter 754 Collusion

The girl who walked in was very beautiful. Although she only had some light makeup on her face, her willow leaf-like eyebrows and bright eyes still made him feel like a Blooming flowers are tender and tender.

However, Xiaoqian knew that if it was the red dress he knew, it would definitely not be such a delicate flower.

She is a low-lying wildfire, the morning sun that will rise at any time, and a noble and incomparable... Luanfeng, how can such an existence show such a pitiful look?

"Speaking of which, you haven't seen it yet, have you?" Huang Hansheng looked at Xiao Qian's wide mouth, and couldn't help but let out a few hearty laughs, "Let me introduce you, this charming lady is the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, whose surname is Yi Mingguang .She married Wang Zhu two years ago, you should call her sister-in-law."

"Wang Zhu's daughter-in-law?" Xiao Qian's eyes widened even more, and the staring gaze even caused the woman in red to show a little shyness, but he couldn't care less about being rude, and asked in a hurried voice, "Where is Miss Luo? Didn't she go out with the army? Why did she become... her again?"

Yi Guang blushed slightly, and said with a slight blessing: "It was always me, and I was a little confused about this matter. Just before the army left the city, I was going to see my husband off. Who knew that the old general looked at me from top to bottom. After looking at it, he took me directly into the barracks, and asked me to put on this red dress and follow the army all the way."

If people who don't know the truth hear about this kind of thing, they must think that Huang Hansheng is an old hooligan who actually lures a woman to join the army for lust.

But Huang Hansheng didn't care about this kind of rhetoric that would be misunderstood. He laughed loudly: "There are all men in the military camp, and they don't look like men in disguise. Give me that baby, Qin Ke, otherwise it won't be a problem for that little boy to pretend to be a girl."

"Let Qin Ke pretend to be Miss Luo..." In Xiaoqian's mind, Qin Ke wearing women's clothing and showing a charming smile to herself, felt a chill in his heart, and immediately said, "Then let Yi Gu...sister-in-law pretend to be good." Some, just following the army all the way, I didn’t even see it.”

Although Yi Guang's name is a bit masculine, he looks gentle and gentle. Hearing Xiaoqian's praise, he became even more ashamed, and his voice became softer: "I have learned some things from the maids in the palace since I was a child." Makeup, and later by chance, I learned some disguise techniques, and with the help of this veil, I finally didn't reveal my secrets all the way."

"Good thing, good thing." Xiaoqian nodded when he heard it. Now that he understood Huang Hansheng and Zhuge Wanling's arrangement, he felt more at ease.

Want to know who Luo Fengchu is?That is a master of the realm of saints.

Xiaoqian had personally experienced her power before. On such a cruel battlefield, Luo Fengchu was able to beat Gao Changgong to serious injury alone in the midst of thousands of troops. Such an act had already subverted his perception of a master of cultivation.

During this expedition, he always thought that this master was going out with the army, so he was so persistent in defeating Gao Changgong this time, but since this matter was originally a scam, it would be harmless.

No, it should even be said that it should be considered a fluke.

Fortunately, our side did not have a life-and-death duel with Gao Changgong last night. Otherwise, given the old general's age, he might not be Gao Changgong's opponent, and Jing Wujun's hearts are already fluctuating. Once the old general loses, his side may even turn against him.

"It's still the general and the prime minister who have far-sighted plans..." Xiaoqian stood up and gave Huang Hansheng a deep bow. "The student is stupid, and if he doesn't understand the general's strategy, he speaks rudely. I will go and accept the punishment myself."

"Kick your nose and face." Huang Hansheng stared, and couldn't help laughing again, "With your body, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand twenty sticks. When the time comes, where am I going to find someone to join the army? How many times are you scolding me?" In a word, I will write it down for the time being, and I will argue with you later."

"Hey." Xiaoqian also laughed. In fact, he also knew that Huang Hansheng was definitely not such a small-minded person, and the Forty Army Stick was just his talk.

The laughter of the old and the young echoed continuously in the barracks, which also diluted the heavy atmosphere after the battle, and made the guards outside the gate smile.

But in Jianye thousands of miles away, many people may not be able to laugh so freely. For example, there is a fierce quarrel going on in the house specially used to entertain foreign envoys.

"I won't go!" Zhang Fu didn't know how many times she had repeated these three words, but what made her very desperate was that even with her resolute attitude, in the face of a fish standing up straight like a spear In front of him, he was still so powerless.

"Jianye City will be very dangerous in the future." Yu'er looked at Zhang Fu with a calm expression that made people fear, "Gao Changgong has already broken through Huang Hansheng's defense line, and it is obvious that his next goal is Jianye City. Thinking back in the Tang Dynasty, he With [-] Qingzhou ghost riders, he is invincible, but now he has more than [-] elites in his hands, and there are so many supporters in Jingwuzhong, God knows how far he can go."

"Of course I know that Jianye will be very dangerous..." Zhang Fu bit her lips palely, her voice trembling, "But... I don't want to leave."

"Just because of that Qin Ke? He doesn't like you at all. He already has the girl from the Cai family. Do you still want to guard him?"

"I didn't!" Zhang Fu shouted halfway, but her voice suddenly weakened.

She knew that her denial was just a kind of evasion, and in front of Yu'er, her defense seemed to be completely transparent, and she could see through it with just one glance.

"I...just..." she choked up, "I haven't let him know my intentions, maybe..."

"Nothing is possible." Yu'er interrupted her and took a step forward, but she couldn't help but soften a little because of Zhang Fu's sad appearance, and said softly: "Sister Zhen, I know that all these years, no matter whether it is a child of an aristocratic family, , or the door of the tiger, you have never really liked anyone, and finally met Qin Ke, so naturally you don't want to let go. But Qin Ke already has someone else in his heart, do you have to wait? How long? One year? Two years? Ten Years? Like the lord of the country, swear to never marry for life?"

It is no secret in the world that Qiao Liyue, the lord of Qunfang, vowed not to marry for life.

In the early years, some gossip said that the reason why this beautiful and charming lord was like this was because she met a man she liked when she was young, but for some reason, the two failed to get together in the end. Since then, she has been disheartened Feeling cold, don't talk about marriage anymore.

However, this news has never been confirmed, and Qunfang is not the focus of the world, so few people mentioned it these years.

But as Zhang Fu and Yu'er, how could they not know the truth of this matter?

"Sister Zhen." Yu'er touched Zhang Fu's shoulder and sighed: "If Qin Ke is still alone, I will support you to stay in Jingwu, even if you live and die with him, at least you can not This life is in vain. But the current situation...you should also be considerate and considerate of the king."

"Tang's 10,000+ troops have tried many times at the border with the Jingwu border army, and Gao Changgong is now heading straight to Jianye. Now the whole Jingwu is in turmoil. Even if Zhuge Wanling wins in the end, how many people in Jianye city People will die because of it?"

"The lord is also thinking about your safety. You must know that you are also her sister. Although you are not blood relatives, the lord has never been worse than a flying fan to us sisters." Yu'er said softly: "If you insist on chasing I don't object to that person if he doesn't let go, as long as he survives this time, I promise you that I will definitely send you back to Jianye again."

Chapter 755 Escape

Zhang Fu still lowered her head and remained silent, her lips were already a little red from being bitten by her teeth.

Yu'er sighed again, but she also understood Zhang Fu's state of mind at this time. When Xiang Chu was in trouble, didn't she go to find him desperately and never leave him?

"Forget it." Yu'er suddenly put his arms around Zhang Fu and let her rest her chin on her shoulder, "I won't stop you from going to him, but Sister Zhen, even if you don't think about us, you still have to think about us." Think about it for yourself, if you just wait in such a daze, how can he know your intentions? You should tell him everything in your heart, if he is really willing to keep you, then I won't force it. "

Zhang Fu's eyes turned red, and finally she cried softly, with guilt, she also put her hands around Yu'er's waist: "I know, you have always protected me, all of this is my fault."

"We are sisters, everything should be done, you don't have to." Yu'er gently rubbed her cheek against Zhang Fu's, and said softly, "You'd better hurry up, it's late, maybe we won't be able to leave .”
