Chapter 26: The Sword's Heart Is Still Pitying

Tingfengya originally had thousands of towering trees, which were later cut down for fences and coffins to build soldiers' tombs.The Cang Yue Army lined up on the left and right, Li Yinshang was wearing the standard dark blue military uniform and black armor of the Cang Yue Army at this moment, holding the black iron engraved double dragon helmet of the Black Sword Battalion in his hand, walked to the top of Tingfeng Cliff, and arrived at the once heroic army. In front of the tomb of the sacrificed soldiers.

However, there was a ragged man sitting in front of the soldier's tomb, with a bronze light sword and an epee on his back, and beside him were several jars of spirits that had been drained.

Li Yinshang was taken aback, "Ye Jiangyu?"

The drunken man raised his head in a trance, glanced at Li Yinshang with erratic eyes, and picked up an empty wine jar with his right hand, "Come, drink." A stench of wine emanated from his mouth, making Li Yinshang Yin Shang couldn't help frowning slightly.

When the man realized that it was Li Yinshang, his face suddenly changed, and he threw the wine jar out, smashing it to pieces.Then he threw himself on the ground and wept bitterly, shouting in a choked and resentful tone, "Why don't you return when you go. Why don't you go when you enter! Can Shujian, Canqingjian are no longer here... Ning Wu he ..." Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground, unconscious.

Even though what he said was very vague, Li Yinshang heard everything clearly. He staggered back in a trance and looked up at the sky above Tingfengya. In an instant, clouds of smoke surrounded and clouds were densely covered, followed by five thunderbolts.

"Sure enough, Ning Wu has betrayed me. Time is running out." He looked at the southern sky, Fengyang City was already close at hand, but he clearly felt unprecedented haze.He put on the helmet and raised the cloak wrapped behind the armor, "The whole army is rushing to Fengyang City!"

A shadow ran across the city tower, followed by three guards patrolling the city. He quickly jumped from the city wall into the city street, and after a glimpse, he found that the guards had already raised their bows and arrows. His pitch-black long sword was ready to block, "Swoosh! Boom!" The two arrow feathers flying towards him were hit by another flying arrow from the dark, and they lost power and fell.Behind the three guards, another person in a dark blue coat also appeared. His appearance marked that the three guards were stunned by a gun at the same moment.

"Good job, You Min, Yanzhou." Zhou Mochen, who was standing under the tower, breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Youmin, who was hiding in the big tree next to the city wall, jumped up and jumped from the tree to the city wall, "I've solved it on my side, what about you in Yanzhou?"

Su Yanzhou raised his black gun and smiled relaxedly, "Same. The defense is very weak, and it should be that we didn't expect our arrival at all."

Zhou Mochen inserted the black sword into the scabbard behind his back, "The prince has already gone straight to the palace, let's arrange a large army to enter the city."

"Yeah." The other two looked at each other and nodded.

Inside the Fengyang Palace, Li Ai, a man in his early forties, wearing gold and silver, admiring the mountains and rocks in the mansion leisurely, wandered into the main hall of the palace.This was originally the fragrant rosewood chair of King Fengyang, and now it is finally his turn to sit on it.As he sat down, he sighed, "Nephew, nephew, you snatched this chair eight years ago, and now you have to give it to me? You traitor."

In the hall, the sound of the cup lid being opened suddenly sounded, followed by tea being poured into the cup, "How is Second Uncle sleeping in the palace recently?" A cold and familiar voice came to Li Ai In his ears, he suddenly slipped from the chair and fell to the ground.In front of him, stood the man, wearing a straight purple train, a gold-plated waist belt, and a three-foot blue sword in his right hand under the purple-gold cuff, and a pair of piercing eyes set on his stern face.

"You... haven't died yet? Where's Su Yanmei! Did she miss it!" Li Ai was already incoherent, trembling under the Fengyang King's chair. The person in front of him was undoubtedly Li Yinshang, but why did he appear here? !

"Second uncle, what happens to this king in the end has nothing to do with you. But I will never die because of you!" Li Yin said hurtfully, and knocked Li Ai unconscious to the ground with a punch. "Mo Chen." He shouted.

Zhou Mochen, the battalion commander of Mojian, who was wearing a dark blue military uniform and a pitch-black armor, appeared outside the door. Li Yinshang continued to ask, "Have you dealt with the defenders in the city?"

Zhou Mochen was as serious as usual, "Yes."

Li Yinshang nodded, "Drag him to the Meridian Gate, where I will behead him personally."

Zhou Mochen raised his hand, and two Cang Yue soldiers appeared outside the house, one left and one right dragged the fainted Li Ai out of the hall, Zhou Mochen also left afterward.In the entire main hall, there is a dense atmosphere of weak tea and Li Yinshou's scattered back.

"Boom!" There was the sound of broken chairs in the main hall, and the ear-piercing sound rang for a long time. When Ye Jiangyu, who woke up from drunkenness, passed by, he couldn't help but want to go in and see what happened, but he saw Li Yinshang slowly walking away with a sword in his hand. Walking out of the house, there seems to be a lot of sawdust on the straight purple skirt.

"My lord?" Ye Jiangyu stepped forward to greet him.Li Yinshang didn't have any expression on his face, he let out a "huh" with a somewhat dazed expression, and stepped out of Fengyang Palace stiffly step by step.

Ye Jiangyu was a little confused, turned around and just stepped into the threshold, only to see that the main hall of Fengyang Prince's Mansion was in a mess, and the sandalwood chair of the county king had been smashed to pieces with a sword, beyond recognition.

At the Meridian Gate, the onlookers had already blocked the place. Li Yinshang changed into a coarse linen suit, and his indifferent eyes matched the machete in his hand.It was obviously summer, but Li Ai, who was tied to the ground, only felt the cold wind blowing from behind, and a random gust of wind could break his neck.

"The villain Li Ai, who committed two generations of Fengyang County kings in an unrighteous manner, should be beheaded!" Li Yinshang shouted, raising his knife and dropping it, Li Ai's head immediately rolled out of his body, the crowd saw this, They all gave way.I don't know who's yellow dog on the street ran over smelling the smell of blood, but when it got close to the head, it seemed to bark twice in disgust, flicked its tail and ran away.Li Yinshang looked at the disgusting head, dropped the machete in his hand, and snorted coldly.

On July 25th of the first year of Zhide, the Cang Yue Army passed through Yinfeng Valley, bypassed Tingfeng Cliff, and suddenly appeared at the foot of Fengyang City.Li Ai was defenseless, and the defenders did not mobilize, the Cang Yue Army took Fengyang City lightly, and Li Aixiao took the lead.However, in the evening of that day, the [-] coalition troops led by Su Yanmei, Gu Jingzhi, and Wen Qingyi rushed to Fengyang City and surrounded it.

The setting sun melts gold, and the setting sun in the western sky can be seen from the top of Fengyang City. Li Yinshang, Su Yanzhou, Zhou Mochen, Sun Youmin, and Ye Jiangyu stood on the east gate, looking down at the camp of the besieging troops. The banner with white characters on a dark blue background.

Su Yanzhou's expression is also extremely dignified, "My lord, we are all too familiar with the land of Fengyang. The south is Yushan, the west is Chengdu Jianmen Pass, Cangshan Baiwu Pass, and the north is Yinfeng Pass Canyon. To the east is a plain, but Within thirty miles, it becomes the Jinsha River."

Zhou Mochen heard the heaviness in Su Yanzhou's words, he nodded and said, "The spies from the Black Sword Battalion just returned and said that the ferry was also occupied by heavy troops from the Southwest Shence Army, we..."

"Is there nowhere to go?" Li Yinshang directly said the result they wanted to express euphemistically.

"Yes." Zhou Mochen lowered his head.

"Jiang Yu." Li Yin said with a sigh.

Ye Jiangyu has now changed back to the golden robes of a gentleman in Tibetan Sword Villa when he was fighting outside Cangyue Pass, and he cupped his hands, "I am here."

Li Yinshang looked at the encircled division camp in front of him, "You are the guest of Cang Yue's army, you cannot be harmed by military disasters, and you convey my wishes to General Su on my behalf."

Ye Jiangyu nodded, "No problem."

Li Yinshang took a deep breath, his expression was calm, and there were not too many disturbances, "I hope she accepts the surrender of our Cang Yue Army, and allows the surrendered army to disarm and return to the fields."

"What?!" Not only Ye Jiangyu was stunned, but Su Yanzhou's eyes were wide open, Sun Youmin opened his mouth wide in disbelief, and Zhou Mochen spread his hands to express doubts.

"Tomorrow morning, You Min will hang a white flag over the city, and Yan Zhou and Mo Chen will lead the army out of the city to surrender." Li Yinshang's expression at this moment is like that of an old man who has seen the vicissitudes of life, neither sad nor happy.

"My lord can't do it!" Zhou Mochen fell to his knees first, "Mochen is willing to swear to his death to protect the lord to break through!"

"My lord!" Su Yanzhou and Sun Youmin also knelt on the ground at the same time, "The last general swears to die to follow my lord, we will share weal and woe!"

Li Yinshang lowered his head slightly, rubbed his forehead unconsciously with his right hand, and trembled with his back facing the body of the three generals. There are less than [-] remnants of Cang Yue's remnant army, and the [-] snow-riding soldiers are buried in the wind and snow in a foreign land. I think about this every night, and I am heartbroken! Now that I have returned to Fengyang, I feel speechless to the parents of the dead soldiers!" Ye Jiangyu glanced at Looking at Li Yin's injured face, he found that tears were streaming down his face.

"My lord..." the three generals finally couldn't stop their grief when they heard the words, and they even thought of the comrades who died in the battle of Sun Moon Cliff yesterday, they all punched the ground angrily, everyone's eyes were filled with tears.

"I'm sorry for Mofeng, I'm sorry for Qingze, I'm sorry for Zixin, and I'm sorry for the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in battle! How dare I let you go to the rain of guns and arrows again! There are mountains of swords and seas of fire, and I will go alone." A tear fell from Li Yin It slid down the injured cheek and hit the Fengyang city tower.

The three generals nodded silently, and Zhou Mochen recovered from his grief. He was originally a handsome young man, and his face became thinner after running around for many days. gone."

"What?" All of them, including Li Yinshang, walked to the edge of the battlements. The three hundred archers of the Dark Bow Battalion all put their arrows on the bowstring, and aimed their arrows at the lone rider coming from under the tower in unison.

The visitor was wearing a silver fish scale armor, a white turban on her head, a shawl and long hair hanging down on the black cloak she was wearing. The cloak was covered with a white phoenix with outstretched wings, light makeup and pink lips. It was Su Yan, the general who commanded the Fengyang new army. plum.

Wearing silver armor and phoenix dancing clothes, riding a white horse to Fengyang alone.With Su Yanmei's courage, everyone standing on the tower except Li Yinshang was shocked.

Su Yanmei looked at the top of Fengyang city and the setting sun in the background, and said loudly, "Yin Shang, do you dare to talk to this general?"

Zhou Mochen glanced at Li Yinshang, and found that his expression was as serious as it had never been before.I saw Li Yinshang took a step forward, his black leather and black gold boots stepped on the battlements, then jumped up, flipped forward in mid-air and landed lightly.Su Yanmei nodded slightly, and also jumped off her white horse. The two of them were ten steps apart, and the moment they looked at each other, there was a throbbing in their hearts, with mixed feelings, not a taste.

Su Yanmei said softly, "Why?" There was helplessness in her tone.

A sense of soreness welled up in his heart, Li Yinshang smiled wryly, "It's not me."

Su Yanmei stared at Li Yinshang's eyes, and said "The evidence is solid."

The fist of Li Yinshang's left hand was clenched tightly all the time, "Do you believe me or Li Ai?"

"I have always believed that the sword can reveal a person's state of mind." Su Yanmei looked into Li Yinshang's eyes, and then she pulled out a long sword with a sharp blade from the scabbard at her waist, and the blade covered her. The pupils of the eyes, the setting sun hit the sword, and the light flickered, "So I don't believe in anyone, I only believe in the heart of the sword." Su Yanmei's tone was light, not only did not fluctuate, but there was a slight chill like the edge of the sword.

Li Yinshang nodded silently, and also drew out his own sword, which had been with him since Fengyang left Hebei.This was made by Ning Jingyuan for Li Yinshang when he applied for a long sword for one person in the Snow Walking Army. The word "Snow" was engraved on the body of the sword.

"Bang!" In an instant, the swords of the two people staggered and bloomed countless snowflakes. Li Yinshang swung his sword, and the ice crystals danced on the blade. The sword swept across, and the frost dust swept over Su Yanmei's scale armor with the wind of the sword. the hem.Su Yanmei retreated quickly, stabbing straight with her sword, also rolling up countless ice dust, the whistling blade brushed against Li Yinshang's temple, and was separated by Li Yinshang's blade "Bang!" The two separated five six steps.After the fight, her surprised tone followed, "Where did you learn the Crescent Sword!"

"Sister-in-law." At this moment, Li Yinshang's sword blade was firmly pressed against by Su Yanmei, neither of them could move an inch. He suddenly changed to this address, and the latter was shocked. "Brother, he... has only passed away for eight years, and I still feel that he is by my side!" The tone was full of sadness, and Su Yanmei was also infected at that moment.

"This sword...was he who taught you?" She withdrew the sword, looked at Li Yinshang's tearful but clear eyes, and couldn't help but wiped the corners of her own eyes, "When I saw you back then, you were still I'm a child, I've really grown up now. Yes, since he saw you right, I can't. But now you have been regarded as a traitor by His Majesty, I..."

Li Yin wounded and closed his sword, "Sister-in-law. Please allow the Cang Yue Army to surrender, and allow them to disarm and return to the fields. I want to go south to Yushan."

Su Yanmei nodded, and was taken aback when she heard the last sentence, "Yushan? Nanming Lake?"

Li Yinshang was also a little surprised, "Sister-in-law knows about Nanming Lake?"

Su Yanmei smiled, "Have you forgotten what the name of the sword manual is? Now that I know that you are enlightened to the mirror, the sword in your hand is definitely not for killing. I can rest assured."

Li Yinshang suddenly realized that she was a descendant of the New Moon Sect who was living in the world. After he retracted his sword, he stretched out his hand to hold Su Yanmei's palm tightly, "Sister-in-law, I don't know if I can go back to Yinshang, take care."

Su Yanmei nodded again and again, "Brother Yin, take care..."

Li Yinshang was about to turn around when he suddenly remembered something, "Sister-in-law, General Wen Sheng..."

Su Yanmei pursed her lips and smiled, "Are you doubting that I can't see the true quality of a general? I won't let the imperial court lose another good general."

After Li Yin injured Fengyang to break through, Su Yanmei and Wen Sheng were both demoted. At that time, Suiyang City, which Zhang Xun was guarding, was besieged by 15 rebels. He was the only two in the court who were willing to lead the army to rescue. Only three thousand soldiers and horses were allocated to him.All the officers and men guarded Suiyang for ten months, and on October [-], the second year of Zhide, the city was broken. Generals Su and Wen, and Zhang Xunbu of Kuiziying, and many other generals were captured and died heroically.

When Li Yinshang returned to the city, the three generals had different opinions on his arrangement.

"Indeed, Auntie will let us go, but those two Tiance generals will never let the prince go. Obviously we can't choose to surrender." Su Yanzhou looked unwilling.

"Break out at night?" Zhou Mochen rubbed his chin and said.

"Do you think the opponent's general's ability will prevent him?" Sun Youmin was also a little helpless.

"I have already told Su Yanmei that she will attack the city tomorrow, supervise the two gates in the southwest, and transfer the Tiance Army to the two gates in the northeast. The south gate is our breakthrough." Li Yin injured his hand on the Fengyang City Defense Map. I gave pointers.

"Wait... If we all go through the south gate, the Tiance army will attack the city directly, and will attack us from inside the city soon." Sun Youmin discovered the omission of this plan.

"Well, and someone needs to create momentum at the east gate to support the breakout." Su Yanzhou nodded, resolutely, "Let my Black Spear Battalion rush out from the east gate and hold back the Tiance army with all our strength!"

"No!" Li Yinshang suddenly put on a straight face, and punched the table hard. "I said I can't let any of you take any more risks!"

"My lord, we want you to leave safely!" Zhou Mochen also expressed everyone's aspirations.

"Go, where are you going?" Suddenly, a cold voice sounded, and the cool wind followed, blowing out the dim candlestick in the room.
