Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

For several days in succession, the generals guarding Hongni Pass all hung up their exemption cards, even if the generals in Wagang Village called for battle, they would not respond.

It wasn't until everything was arranged that Xinyue'e ordered people to remove the exemption card, and took command in person, setting up a team to meet the enemy.

The soldiers in Wagangzhai saw that the free card had been withdrawn, and hurried back to the camp to report. Pei Yuanqing's smile froze on his face. He was still bragging to everyone that Xin Wenli was not taken lightly by his two hammers. It was because of internal injuries that he was exempted from fighting. It's only been three days now, so how could it be better?Pei Yuanqing didn't believe it, and was ready to go out to fight, but when he went out to see it, he was stunned——

It was a female general who was calling for the battle. This female general was sitting on the horse, and she was still slender and graceful. When she looked closely at her face, she was also very delicate.A pair of beautiful eyes, deep and quiet, not angry but majestic.

But even so, it still didn't cheer up Pei Yuanqing to look at it. Pei Yuanqing sneered and said, "Could it be that there are no other generals in Hongniguan, and a little girl is called to fight."

On the other hand, Xu Maogong stood aside and said after consideration: "We fought in the South and the North, and we haven't met a female general yet."

Pei Yuanqing immediately yawned without interest and said: "I'm just talking about my two hammers, how could Xin Wenli still fight, and now even a little girl is sent out... I don't bully women, sir. If I go down with the hammer, can't I smash people into meat paste? Forget it, forget it, I will show mercy, this person, I leave it to you."

The generals of Wagang Village look at me and I look at you, and they are all in trouble. Who will go?

While hesitating, I heard the girl on the opposite side shout: "I am Xin Wenli's sister, Xin Yue'e. The day before yesterday, my brother was injured by Pei Yuanqing. Today I am here to avenge my brother." Ask Pei Yuanqing to come out and fight—"

Pei Yuanqing turned a deaf ear to it, and Xu Maogong was also anxious, he must not respond to the challenge, no, someone recommended himself.

"You are all afraid of beating a female general, I am not afraid of shame, I will--"

After all, without waiting for Xu Maogong to give a few words, Qi Guoyuan, who was also using the sledgehammer, reined in his horse and moved forward.

Qi Guoyuan raised his double hammer and smashed it on the girl's house. Is Xin Yue'e an idler?The weapon used by Xinyue'e was a big knife, she dodged it sideways, raised the knife from below and opened Qi Guoyuan's hammer, turned around and slashed on his shoulder, Qi Guoyuan was shocked, only felt a pain in his shoulder, and then He was lifted and kicked off the horse.

Fortunately, this knife was viewed from the back of the knife. If it was a sharp edge, it would surely kill him.Qi Guoyuan was still in shock, and the female general of Xinyue'e had already tied her up and escorted her into the city gate.

This scene happened so suddenly that everyone in Wagang Village couldn't accept it. Why was Qi Guoyuan arrested?

The first to react was Li Rugui, who had been close to Qi Guoyuan before Jia Jialou became sworn brothers.Seeing that Qi Guoyuan had been arrested and entered the city gate, he shouted loudly: "You little bitch dared to capture Brother Qi, I'll never end with you—" After finishing speaking, Mao rashly rushed forward.

Li Rugui stabbed in front of Xinyue'e with a single shot. Xinyue'e's right hand pointed down, blocked the body of the gun with one effort, and then pushed out the body of the gun with all her strength, alternating left and right hands , turned the knife again, and almost rolled Li Rugui's fingers into it. Li Rugui backed away, and Xinyue'e closed the knife and slashed at his face. They were tied up and detained, and went to be a pair of troubled brothers and sisters with Qi Guoyuan.

After being arrested two generals in succession, Wagangzhai was not calm here, and thought to himself, this female general is really powerful.

Xu Maogong immediately said: "I don't think we should fight today, this female general is really good, let's go back to the camp to discuss a plan."

But Niu Gai, the general of the town hall, robbed her: "It's just a mere girl, why worry about it? Wait for me to go up and capture her, and wait for the army to deal with it." Xu Maogong couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. gallop away.

Niu Gai learned the lesson from the previous two generals, he didn't dare to take it lightly, he was always on guard against the little girl's saber technique, he made dozens of moves back and forth, regardless of the outcome.Just as he avoided the knife and stood up, his right shoulder felt a pain. He looked down and saw a flying knife stuck in his right shoulder.

The generals in Wagang Village were a little dumbfounded, okay, this little girl can use hidden weapons!

Immediately afterwards, two other generals refused to accept and went out to fight, and were injured by Xin Yue'e's lasso.

This little girl can actually use a lasso? !The generals in Wagang Village were dumbfounded.

Now, Pei Yuanqing couldn't sit still: "Let me meet her."

Before everyone could say anything, they only heard a clear voice saying: "You can't go, this woman is not an ordinary person, I just watched her carefully for a long time, and she is very proficient in concealed weapon skills, so I know she has been studying for many years, she is a concealed weapon wielder Expert, although your hammering skills are superb, you may not be able to follow her way."

If someone else said this, Pei Yuanqing might still be able to listen to it a little bit, but when he turned his head and saw it came from Luo Cheng, his face was displeased, and then he sneered: "You finally admit that I am skilled in hammering? Compared with others How about you?" Pei Yuanqing glanced at Luo Chengdao disdainfully, "I'm going to let you see, if you Luo Cheng dare not, I, Pei Yuanqing, will."

Luo Cheng frowned slightly: "Now is not the time for fighting spirit, if you want to compete with me, you can do it at any time, there is no need to fight fighting spirit on the battlefield."

All the generals also persuaded Pei Yuanqing one after another, but how could Pei Yuanqing listen at this moment?The more the generals tried to persuade him, the more he felt that they were all on Luo Cheng's side, and he became more and more angry. He suddenly growled and said, "Enough! I must capture that female general today for you to see. , I, Pei Yuanqing, can easily capture the extremely dangerous person you speak of!"

Before he finished speaking, Pei Yuanqing had already taken the lead and rushed to the middle of the battlefield, stomping Cheng Yaojin angrily: "This child! Your sister told me to take care of you in the letter. If you have any mistakes , how can I explain to your sister, how can I be so ruthless and ignorant..."

When Pei Yuanqing rushed out, Luo Cheng drove forward almost without hesitation, reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "Pei Yuanqing, I don't think this is right, her martial arts are obviously not as good as yours, but she called you out by name when she came up." , there may be fraud in it. Besides, you are so impulsive now, and she has a hidden weapon in her body, if you are not careful, you will definitely suffer!"

Pei Yuanqing knocked off Luo Cheng's arm: "I don't care whether I live or die. You just don't want me to make meritorious deeds. I still want to make great deeds today. Look."

At this time, Luo Cheng was already halfway in chasing Pei Yuanqing. Xin Yue'e took a closer look at the two people who were arguing. Although she couldn't hear what they said, she could see their appearance clearly.

At that moment, Xinyue'e's pretty face was flushed, and her eyes seemed unable to move. She had seen many generals, many of whom were brave and powerful, but she was not as good as the major general in front of her, not even one tenth as good. .I saw that young general in white clothes, silver helmet and armor, handsome appearance and elegant demeanor, which made people unforgettable at first sight.Xinyue'e thought about it, but felt that the bases of her ears were hot and uncomfortable.

On the other side, Luo Cheng saw that persuading Pei Yuanqing failed, so he had to let him go.

Cheng Yaojin was still cursing, but what if he had already run out?All the generals looked at the middle of the battlefield helplessly, only hoping that Pei Yuanqing would come back victorious.

As soon as Pei Yuanqing came up, he gestured with a pair of hammers in his hand and said: "Mr. Pei originally thought you were a girl, and wanted to spare your life. I never thought that you were aggressive and insisted on forcing me to fight. Okay, I will help you today. Capture you, and then capture Xin Wenli, conquer Hongni Pass in one fell swoop, and save my five Wagang generals."

When Xin Yue'e heard the name of the visitor, her eyes darkened. It turned out that this person was Pei Yuanqing who injured her brother, but she didn't know who the person who was fighting with him just now was.Before, he was only concerned with looking at the handsome major general, but he didn't bother to look at Pei Yuanqing's appearance. Looking at him now, he is still young and has an extraordinary bearing... It's a pity that he is destined to die young.

Xin Yue'e put away her thoughts and said, "Stop talking nonsense, let's talk about it after the war."

Xinyue'e knew that her strength was not as strong as Pei Yuanqing's, and even a person as strong as her brother was shocked to get internal injuries because of receiving Pei Yuanqing's double hammers, let alone her, so she avoided Pei Yuanqing's hammers everywhere.

After coming and going, Pei Yuanqing became a little impatient. He just said how powerful this little girl is, but it turned out that she was just a silver-like pewter gun head, which was useless at all. Look, after just a few moves, she has already shown her decline.

Pei Yuanqing didn't want to pester her anymore, he raised his double hammers, and was about to give her a hammer, but he never thought that the little girl would suddenly stop her momentum, turn around and run back.

"I can't beat you. Anyway, today I captured five generals from your Wagang Village. That's enough. I'm going back."

When Pei Yuanqing heard this, it's not going to work. The person hasn't been rescued yet, so how can you, a thief like you, escape?Without saying a word, he rode his horse and chased after him.

The two fought and retreated, entangled all the way.

Seeing this posture, Xu Maogong suddenly said: "This female general is so powerful just now, why does she only know how to dodge when she sees Pei Yuanqing? I think the situation is not good, so I should call Pei Yuanqing back quickly and stop chasing him."

"Brother Luo Cheng, you are the only one here who is skilled in martial arts and well versed in hidden weapons. I have to trouble you to hurry and chase Pei Yuanqing back."

Luo Cheng nodded in response.

At the end, Xu Maogong added another sentence: "Be careful in everything, do your best in everything, don't force it."

"Understood, Third Brother Xu." Luo Cheng shouted, and drove away.

At this time, Xinyue'e had been chased by Pei Yuanqing for a long circle, and entered through the west gate of Hongni Pass.

Pei Yuanqing followed closely, relentlessly.

Seeing that he was about to enter the city gate, Pei Yuanqing heard a cry from behind: "Pei Yuanqing, stop for me! There may be fraud ahead, and the military commander ordered you to withdraw quickly with me."

Pei Yuanqing paused for a moment, looked back, it was Luo Cheng again, took another look at the city gate that was about to close, and shouted back impatiently: "You don't need to worry about it!" Pei Yuanqing whipped his horsewhip fiercely, and plunged into the city , Luo Cheng was worried, and simply chased after him.

Suddenly, Xinyue'e raised the rein and hit the horse. The horse neighed long, lifted its front hooves, and jumped forward. Luo Cheng was always on guard against Xinyue'e's hidden weapon, so seeing her move, the secret path was broken!He casually held the whip in his hand, and was about to throw it out and wrap it around Pei Yuanqing's waist——

Pei Yuanqing saw Xinyue'e's horse jumping past, and he didn't know it was right, but due to inertia, he was not allowed to stop at all. The horse's front hoof had already stepped into the pit, and he fell into the big pit with the whole person and the horse. .

"Yuanqing——" Although he couldn't see what was going on, Cheng Yaojin's heart turned cold when he saw Pei Yuanqing disappear and fall into the pit.

Luo Cheng held the rein with his left hand and stopped the horse, but he never threw out the whip held tightly by his right hand.

Seeing that Pei Yuanqing fell into the pit right in front of him, densely packed sharp knives and bamboo tips were buried at the bottom of the pit, and Pei Yuanqing didn't even make a sound, as the sharp pierced through his body and bled to death——in Luo Cheng's heart With a pain, he closed his eyes deeply, and did not move for a long time. The whole person stood in front of the pit like a stone statue, silent.

It is a pity that Pei Yuanqing, the famous Eight Great Hammers of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the silver hammer general Pei Yuanqing who followed the golden hammer Li Yuanba, died in such a tragic way.

At this moment, the ambushing soldiers of Hong Ni Pass will come out from the surrounding area, and they are about to surround Luo Cheng.

"Luo Cheng, come back quickly—"

"Cousin!"

"Beat the drum quickly, retreat! Tell Luo Cheng to retreat!" Xu Maogong shouted.

When the drums sounded, Luo Cheng seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, gritted his teeth fiercely, turned his horse's head, and withdrew backward.

Hong Ni Guan's generals surrounded him from both sides, and they were about to surround him, so Xin Yue'e dispatched troops to surround him, but she didn't forget to shout: "Close the city gate! Hurry up and close the city gate!"

Not only that, the generals of Hong Ni Guan held spears with the same blade, and stabbed at each man and the horse. Luo Cheng, who was riding a racing dragon and five-spotted horse, leaned down and clinging to the horse. With the back, the left and right hands draw the knife at the same time, the knife head is downward, and the blade is forward. All the way, everyone who touches the blade will be cut off. The force is so great that many people can't stand it and fall to the ground.

Finally, at the moment when the city gate was about to close, Leng ran out of Hongni Pass with the speed of Sailong Wubanju.

As soon as one man and one horse ran out of the city, the city gate was closed behind them.

Xin Wenli walked out from the side, glanced at Pei Yuanqing who died tragically, and said complacently: "My good sister, you have avenged my elder brother and me, but it's a pity that Luo Cheng is so capable. To be able to escape, alas... What a great opportunity. If you miss this time, it will be difficult to catch him next time. But it's strange to say, why did you say he stopped when he got there? Even Pei Yuanqing How come he seems to know that we have set a trap?"

Xin Wenli babbled, and when he didn't get a response, he turned to look at Xin Yue'e, only to realize that his sister was staring in the direction of the city gate, not listening to him at all: "Yue'e? Yue'e, what's wrong with you? "

Only then did Xin Yue'e come to her senses, patted her hot cheeks, lowered her head and murmured, "Brother, you said that person is Luo Cheng? Pretty?"

Xin Wenli was careless, so he didn't notice the inappropriateness of his sister, so he said carelessly: "Who is it if it's not him? I guessed it as soon as he came out just now. I heard that the Luo family boy from Beiping Mansion is not only martial arts Gao Qiang, single-handedly defeated Li Yuanba in front of the Jinyang Palace, forcing his backer Yang Lin to lose and commit suicide, and he also has a peerless good looks."

"Later, I heard people from Wagang Village calling Luo Cheng's name, so I was sure it was him."

"Luo Cheng..." The words lingered in Xin Yue'e's mouth.

Let's talk about the other side, just as Luo Cheng ran out of the city gate, he was bumped into by Shan Xiongxin and others who came to meet him.

As soon as he entered the camp at Wagangzhai, Luo Cheng got off his horse, his legs hit the ground, his legs went limp, and he was careless and nearly fell, but fortunately he was supported by Qin Qiong, and asked with concern: "Cousin, where are you injured? "

Luo Cheng shook his head and said nothing.

Seeing his dazed and pale face, everyone had tears in their eyes as they had already expected Pei Yuanqing's fate.

Cheng Yaojin still did not give up, walked up to Luo Cheng, and asked with tears in his tiger eyes: "Little brother Luo Cheng, how is my brother-in-law Pei Yuanqing?"

Luo Cheng raised his head slowly, met Cheng Yaojin's eyes, twitched his thin lips, and said in a weak voice: "He...he fell into a pit, which is full of sharp knives and bamboo points...I'm sorry, fourth brother Cheng. "

As soon as the voice fell, Cheng Yaojin staggered a few steps, almost fainted, and for a while, there were sobs in the Wagangzhai army.

Everyone was indignant, and they all said they wanted to avenge Pei Yuanqing, but Shan Luocheng was silent, with an extremely lonely expression, staring at his right hand in a daze.

Qin Qiong had never seen his cousin like this before, so he felt guilty for not being able to save Pei Yuanqing, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him in a low voice: "Cousin, Yuanqing's death has nothing to do with you, you did your best , who knew that woman would be so ruthless, she set a trap and waited for Yuan Qing to fall into her trap. I am still afraid that you also fell into her trap just now. Tell me."

Facing Qin Qiong's concerned and trusting eyes, Luo Cheng struggled inwardly, and said: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry, cousin, it's all my fault, if I can save him—"

Qin Qiong nodded, expressed her understanding, and said with relief: "My cousin knows that you have tried your best, and everyone has seen it. At that time, you almost lost your life in order to save Yuanqing. You can't blame you for this. You don't have to Too much self-blame, I feel uncomfortable seeing you like this, you'd better go back to the tent and have a good rest."

"No... I can save him, I can obviously save him." Luo Cheng murmured.

Everyone didn't take his words to heart, they only said that the death of Pei Yuanqing had dealt a great blow to Luo Cheng.Thinking about it, even if Pei Yuanqing doesn't fight, he is a brother of Wagangzhai after all.Luo Cheng watched the brothers in Wagangzhai die in front of him, helpless, and anyone would blame himself.

After Qin Qiong finished speaking, Shan Xiongxin and others advised Luo Cheng to take a good rest and not to blame himself too much for Pei Yuanqing's death. They will naturally avenge Pei Yuanqing.

Luo Cheng was sent to the camp to rest in a daze.
