Crown Sword

"At that time, the battle situation was extremely tragic, corpses lay hundreds of miles away, blood flowed everywhere, the forward general died in a vigorous battle, and when he died, thousands of arrows pierced his heart; the school captain Shang Han was gouged out to cover the escape of the nearby people, the Qin thief is hateful, especially Take that Yang Fusong for the most part!" The man who returned the military sentiment clenched his fists, the veins on his face twitched violently, he said "hateful" three times in a row, still puzzled, and smashed through the oak with a thick bowl around him with one hand.

Shuang Li swallowed, and took half a step back, not wanting to be injured by fists in vain.

I heard that this man has a nickname called "Xiguan Fist", and his boxing has the ability to collapse mountains and smash rocks. He used to walk around the Hongnong area. After that place was lost, he heard that the Qin army intends to march eastward, so he spontaneously came to Luoyang to join the army. Now this is to report.

Another gust of punching wind came, Shuang Li shrank his head back, rubbed the loose thread of Shi Ang's cuff with his hands, and muttered in a low voice: "Those who don't know think they are here to show off their punching skills..."

Shi Ang stared at him, Shuang Li stuck out his tongue resentfully, and suddenly clapped his hands in praise: "This righteous man said well, we should fight back with fire, and find a way to kill them all!"

The scene was silent for a while, Xiguanquan leaned forward, stared into a cross-eyed, and it took a while to realize: "This, this is Miss Shen, it's a pleasure to meet you, you are indeed a tiger girl in the general gate, so bloody!" He felt a little sore, "I think General Shen Jin defended Luoyang and died heroically. The descendants of the Shen family will be blessed by God to protect the soldiers and people of Luoyang through this calamity..."

Shi Ang interrupted his reminiscence: "You continue to say, the name Yang Fosong is somewhat familiar."

Shuang Li wanted to say a few more witty words to try to be witty, but looking at Xi Guanquan's cloudy and vicissitude eyes, she couldn't speak anymore, and quietly waited on the side, listening to them get back to business.

After calming down, Xiguan Quan sighed first, and then continued: "This person was originally my Great Jin Pingyuan General, and he led three thousand families of Jin people to surrender to Qin. Thief Qin is even more hateful! I despise the behavior of this kind of rebellious minister the most in my life. If I confront the enemy before the battle, I will be the first to charge up and smash his head!"

At this time, Zhou Zheng also interjected: "There are not a few traitors in these years, and many of them have been generals of one party. They should be regarded as a serious problem. If there are loyal and brave men, they can find out these traitors and assassinate them. Great joy!"

Shuang Li answered smoothly: "That's not sure, maybe there really is such a hero running in the Central Plains and even in the North!" She smiled Yan Yan when she said that, she didn't notice Shi Ang's downcast eyes, and gave her a deep look .

"It was dark and gloomy that day, and the forward army couldn't resist. Jiao Yao Chong rushed all the way to the northwest of Luoyang City. Fortunately, Xiahou prefect led an ambush early, and used the long-armed crossbow made by Gongshu Mansion in the Baichijiao Tower to send He intercepted it, and then led the soldiers to fight with their lives, and then killed the Qin thief!" At the end of Xiguan Quan, he clasped his fists in greeting, "It's a pity that the heroic soul has passed away forever, and his bones have been buried in Qingshan, but fortunately, the Qin army was frightened and retreated. , you can rest easy for now."

Speaking of reassurance, everyone couldn't help but look happy, especially Zhou Zheng, and his brothers who had returned to the team one after another in the past few days, all of them were full of joy, as if they were the ones who won the battle.Shi Min bowed his head, and couldn't help laughing, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous because of the presence of the pavilion master, so he pursed his lips and suppressed it.

Shuang Li secretly looked at Shi Ang, but Chang Huai was clearly not seen on his face.

When Shi Ang noticed it, he tilted his head and smiled at her, and took the lead in comforting her: "No problem."

Shuang Li was flustered in his heart, opened his mouth several times, but could only return him a smile.When the man next to her raised her eyes and looked beyond the Cangshan Mountain, she regretted it again, and asked the irresistible question: "Is it... Is the crisis in Luoyang still unresolved?"

"Don't be afraid." Shi Ang leaned over and brushed her wind-blown hair behind her ears.

Shuang Li froze for a while, then dodged his hand willfully: "Master Shige, don't treat me like a child anymore, I'm not a child anymore!" She widened her eyes and looked at him longingly, "I can What to do? Tell me, what can I do?"

After a long time, Shi Ang answered her: "Okay, alive."

alive?

Back then, the "six-star general" under Fu Jian's command in Shangyunmeng was someone who was able to turn the tide when Qiongjing made a big fuss at Yunmen for sacrifices. How could such helpless and depressing words come out of his mouth? Looking for more answers in the expression on his face, but Shi Ang said nothing, turned around and walked away with his piano on his back.

Shuang Li glanced aside, saw that the others were talking loudly and didn't pay attention, so he hurriedly followed.Shi Ang deliberately paused a step before entering the cabin, as if he had expected that someone would chase after him.

"Yao Chong will attack again."

Just seven words, falling into Shuang Li's ears, was tantamount to confirming the facts, and her heart was suddenly pulled——

Two days later, when they rushed to Luoshui, they were unable to enter Luoyang City. Yao Xing issued an order that Yao Chong, the younger brother of the king, and General Yang Fosong, who was in the east, attacked again, and besieged the city with soldiers, fighting a battle of trapped beasts.After the death of the prefect Xia Houzong, the new prefect Xin Gongjing led the troops to fight to the death.

People from the Gongshu Mansion had a stronghold near Luanchuan, and Shi Ang and his party went ahead here.

"The head of the family sent a letter, and all the rescuers in the nearby Fang Town were found, but..." Liu Zikuo couldn't continue, biting his lips tightly and biting a big hole, swallowing the salty blood with his saliva. It is said that there is suffering.

Luoyang is a military fortress, but there is no natural moat to defend it. The Qin army is coming so fiercely that it is almost a dead city. Not to mention that the court has taken a wait-and-see attitude and has no will. It is very likely to abandon the city. Even if there is a decree, it will be hot for anyone Potatoes, nine times out of ten, are a loss-making business. How can those big-hearted old men not know.

Zhou Zheng was wiping his guns in public, and Xiguan was gearing up to fight. It seemed that both of them wanted to fight in person. Shuang Li was infected by the atmosphere, and asked anxiously, "Is there any other way?"

Shi Ang turned to Shi Min and asked, "Who is the closest to here?"

Shi Min pondered for a while: "Yongzhou Inspector Yang Quanqi." Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, reached out and took out a letter in his arms, "Uncle Yan and the others are also in Luoyang, this is just sent this morning. The letter said that when the Qin army attacked Luoyang for the first time, he went to Yang Quanqi's mansion to lobby. Ba Gui asked for help."

Zhou Zheng frowned: "The King of Wei defeated Yan and entered the Central Plains. It is a good time to be in full swing. Even if we can really come to surround Wei and save Zhao, I beg him to send troops in case wolves enter the house..." His heart was trembling, and he couldn't help looking at Shi Ang, seeking advice .

Shi Ang paced back and forth thinking, and said after a while: "There is no way to save Luoyang, it's better to be a dead horse as a living horse doctor. As for General Zhou Pi's worries, it's not for nothing, but if Tuobagui really set a price on the ground and forcibly occupied Luoyang, it would be a big deal for him. It may not be a good thing, the Murong family of Yan State is not extinct, there is still power in the north of Zhongshan, and to the west, Qin Tianwang Yao Xing is not a bag of wine, and it is not easy to destroy Qin, both countries have old enemies with him, Great Wei If he is smart enough, he will definitely save us first before unifying the north, and use this as an alliance to cut off the remaining two countries."

Shuang Li breathed a sigh of relief: "So he will definitely agree!"

Shi Ang didn't answer her, the reason was this, but he was always worried, fearing that Tuoba Gui thought this way, but Wei Guo didn't think so, there was still resistance secretly.

"Does the letter say the date?"

Shi Min immediately made the calculations: "It will be more than half a month to say the least."

Shi Ang's face turned ugly immediately, the speculation just now may have come true.Shuang Li was peeking at him all the time, and immediately noticed something strange, and then murmured in a low voice: "I remember that King Wei is quite reasonable, I haven't seen him for so long, could it be that his head was caught in the door, and he became stupid?"

Shi Ang glanced over, and she immediately shut up.

When Zhou Zheng and the others began to chatter, she moved quietly to the table, trying to send a letter to Gongyangyue through the news network backed by her back, trying to use his hand to contact Tuobagui, and then After all, they are also cousins ​​in name, even if borrowing soldiers fails, at least they can find out. Besides, she has been away from Jingzhou for a few days, counting the days, Lao Yue and Chao Chen will go to Chang'an for a long time, so let's go to Ankang .

She had just grabbed the pen, when Liu Zikuo came out of nowhere, and said with a loud voice, "Write a letter? To whom? Can I do it for you?"

Shuang Li's character can't be called dog crawling, but it can't be called good-looking either. Liu Zikuo once said it when he was in Xuanweng Mountain.

As soon as the words came out, the talking men all turned their heads to look over. Shuang Li laughed a few times. He just wanted to screw this kid's head off, but because he couldn't swear like a shrew, he took a few deep breaths to stabilize his nerves. , ready to make up an excuse of "not calm, practice calligraphy to calm down".

Who would have thought that Zhou Zheng would be wrong, so he opened his mouth and said, "Miss has a clever trick? I think Madam was also clever and clever back then, and she frequently came up with clever tricks, and helped General Shen defeat the enemy's attacks many times."

Shuang Li smiled dryly, thinking to himself: Thank you, I don't have a good plan, it's not bad.

Shi Ang's eyes also fell over, but he still echoed and said: "Is this true?"

Shuang carp wants to cry but has no tears.

In front of Shi Ang, she really wanted to show herself and help him a lot, but now she was full of vanity, and a flash of inspiration flashed across her forehead, so she made a decision: "Sure... Seriously, then what, Wei Wang Tuobagui must have someone beside him." Many pairs of eyes are staring at each other, and it is difficult to reach the destination in one step across thousands of mountains and rivers. We may take a detour and try to lobby Princess Dingxiang. Hero, if he speaks to King Wei...

"Princess Dingxiang?"

Shi Ang looked at it meaningfully, the girl was talking excitedly, she didn't notice it at all, she was determined to finish the matter of moving the rescuers, but she snatched her pen and muttered: "I'll write a letter, I'm coming... I..."

She let out an "ouch", and finally realized that she had made a slip of the tongue——

She is Shen Yuan, living in the south, never left the state of Jin, how could she have anything to do with the state of Dai, and even knew Princess Dingxiang, the aunt of King Wei.

The ink on the brush in hand dripped onto the rice paper with a "patta", and the flowers bloomed. She felt flustered, and subconsciously wiped it with her hands.

"I, in my name, may be easy to use. You think, I and Princess Dingxiang are of the same generation of women. Fu Qin once destroyed the dynasty. She bears the hatred of subjugation, and my father's generation fought against the Diqiang people." There are generations of family feuds, sympathy for the same sickness, maybe it can be moved." The words have come to this point, if they are stopped suddenly, I am afraid it will arouse even more suspicion, Shuang Li bit the bullet and closed his eyes to continue talking nonsense.

Zhou Zheng was convinced, and clasped his hands together, overjoyed: "Miss Shen, you are truly a lucky star!"

Shuang Li frequently used his peripheral vision to scan Shi Ang, and seeing that he didn't ask any more questions, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, laughed until his face stiffened, and muttered softly: "That's, that's... If I wasn't lucky, I would have died a long time ago." Ten times I..."

----

The letter was sent out, but the rescuers did not come. Seeing that the city was besieged for several days, people from outside could not enter, and people from inside could not come out.

If this goes on like this, I'm afraid there will be catastrophe in the world, starvation will be everywhere, and cannibalism is not impossible, just thinking about it will make people's scalp numb.Shi Ang goes out early and returns late every day, meeting and discussing with heroes from all walks of life, Shuang Li, under the identity of Miss Shen, "does nothing" every day, except for the occasional need for her to boost morale and show her face, the rest of the time she only lives among heroes from all directions. In conversation, like a mascot.

Several times, she couldn't bear to be idle, and secretly went to see Shi'ang's eyelids were black and tired, and she felt really uncomfortable.She thought: If only I could help...

After several times, Shuangli tried to contact the news network she was relying on, thinking whether she could help her investigate Qin Jun's plot, or explore whether there was another way to survive in Luoyang.

With her heart on the front line, she could hardly sleep day and night, and after tossing and turning, she ventured out several times.

But she went all over the nearby temples, but she couldn't succeed again. Those people seemed to evaporate from her side.

At night, Yang Fosong intends to steal the city, expand the scope, and strengthen patrols.

On the way back, Shuang Li ran into stragglers ambushing, cutting off the four-way road, forcing her to take a detour.The road is surrounded by mountains, and it is quite difficult to get back to the stronghold before dawn. She walked quickly and looked left and right.

Running across a muddy slope, he stumbled over a branch protruding from the ground, managed to hold on, but saw a twilight light in front of him, and bumped into a night return scout.

We met on a narrow road, and couldn't hide, Shuang Li tried hard to stabilize his mind, thinking that there were only two people in the other party, and if he tried his best, he might be able to get it done. So, while recalling Professor Gong Yangyue's lightness kung fu, she leaned over and held her hands together. He reached into his cloth bag and took out his things, and took out all the remaining hidden weapons——

In order not to arouse the teacher's suspicion, all the good treasures were hidden elsewhere, and there was really no way to take them with me.

When someone approached, she first used a bridle rope to hang a tree and a horse, and then she used a slingshot to lure the two of them out of sight. She first tricked them with a unique skill, and then used the hidden weapon "Flying Butterfly" to directly face the door, and then held her breath and slid. Kneeling, slipping out from under the horse's belly, turned on the saddle, snatched the horse and fled.

The "flying butterflies" were extremely powerful, and the blood bloomed instantly in Jingye. She panted heavily and walked forward, forcing herself not to look at the bloody mess.

Halfway through, the horse's hoof suddenly knelt down, and the two carps fell off the horse, rolling to the ground to relieve their strength.

At this time, the white clothes flashed, like a mountain ghost, and she was already afraid, so she subconsciously responded with fists and kicks, and even pulled the hidden weapon she had been holding in her hand.

"it's me."

Shi Ang didn't dodge or dodge, Shuang Li exclaimed, pounced forward, and pressed down the object in his hand.The hidden weapon missed, passed through the tree, and corroded into a hole.Just now when the scout was killed, it was a hidden weapon made by the Gongshu Mansion, and it could be explained away, but now this is the Hundred Spirits Gu that Bai Xing gave back to her in Mengbu in southern Yunnan.

Done!

One pavilion and one sect have been enemies for many years, how could Shi Ang, who is the owner of the pavilion, not recognize him!Shuang Li's heart thumped, his eyes closed, and he simply lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead.
