Chapter 393 – Roku Kou’er
The sky was high, the big clouds hung low, and the evening sun was especially gorgeous as the sun was setting.
The less than a hundred horsemen galloping northward, their heads were like covered with a most gorgeous brightly colored Shu brocade.
When this team of horses near heavy mound military town, vaguely three or two or two of the North Mang horse columns stop horse high slope, weighing the disparity between the two sides of the number of people, and ultimately did not rush to kill.
Before the Liangzhou crossbowmen is really the North Mang horse fence scared, not only three elite scouts almost wiped out, even the Zojiran iron rider co-owner Hong Jingyan and the royal relatives of Yelu Chuzai, two generals also died in battle. Although the southern border has been informed that all crossbowmen are transferred to the Liuzhou battlefield, but once bitten by a snake ten years afraid of the well rope, really do not dare to take it lightly, one of the main generals of the southern expedition of the Northern Mang Orange state holding section order Murong Baoding, but also strict orders under the command of the horse columns, when the enemy is withdrawn, do not count the crime of retreating without a fight, unauthorized entanglement of the person, one of the horse columns of the death of one person, the aftermath of the Wu long Chopping, one of the horse columns of the standard died more than three people, Wu long long long standard long are chopped! The commander of a standard horse will be beheaded!
Did not put on the Northern Liang border army iron armor of more than a hundred riders, also did not pay attention to that set of smell fishy and resentful retreat Orange State scouts, all the way north, hoof and foot, and did not enter the heavy mound military town, along the periphery of the military town continued to the north.
This two riders side by side to do a long serpentine formation to the north of the wacky cavalry army column, the vast majority of about eighty riders, all negative sword horse, obviously not will never unauthorized removal of the sword of the Beiliang border troops, a horse fast whip, came to the front of the only waist wearing a cool knife rider side, some chagrin: “surnamed Xu, mosquito legs are also meat ah, this way off and on met eight or nine sets of northern manganese The horse fence, if you allow us to go out, how should also slaughter forty or fifty riders, what? You Qingliang Mountain is really so poor that you can’t afford to pay for this reward? To take a step back, the silver is owed first, kill him forty to fifty Northern Mang scouts, your Guanwai Liangzhou cavalry may be able to die less, how did you become the King of Northern Liang?”
Xu Fengnian did not look away, continued to look out to the north, did not slow down the speed of his horse, patiently explained, “Dong Zhuo’s army is about to attack Huaiyang Pass, delay here for a moment, may be Beiliang will have to …….”
Wu Luding, the contemporary Sword Crown of the Wu Family’s Sword Mound, interrupted the young feudal lord’s words and said with a big grin, “Even if you arrive at Huaiyang Pass earlier, can you still move the entire pass to Rebel North City? Huaiyang pass and the capital of the Palace are not long feet, can not run away, in the end you are when the martial arts assessment of the Grand Master, the frame is big, can not see those horse fences, eyes only top trek bodhisattva Hong Jing Yan stream, otherwise not happy to go out, right?”
Not far behind them, there is a Wu Clan swordsman who said in a conspiratorial manner, “A great master should have a great master’s demeanor, the king’s eyes are above the top of the world, and he has his own strength, so what’s wrong with that? What’s wrong with a land god who stomps on hundreds or thousands of ants and doesn’t mind dirtying the soles of his shoes?”
Wu Liuding rolled his eyes, lazy and behind that fierce fang general understanding, no way, even in a family learning that the world sword in the Wu family sword mound, back then, only the old ancestor can be slightly suppressed that Zhu devil, he Wu Liuding no matter how conceited in the future will certainly be able to become the first sword art, still have to admit that he is now compared with the Zhuhuang, whether it is the cultivation or attainments, but there is still some gap. The ancestor of the Wu family has long set down a family rule that the length of the sword will determine the size of the reason. Although Wu Liuding is not thin-skinned, but also not to go with Zhu Huang to present a verbal dispute.
However, if Cuihua, who was carrying the ancient sword Su Wang, was willing to join hands, Wu Liuding was really confident that he could beat the Zhu devil into a Zhu pig head. It was a pity that Cuihua, as a Sword Servant, according to the Wu family’s eight hundred years of unchanging and archaic rules, could never participate in the competition between the Sword Crown and other jianghu people, to put it bluntly, the Sword Servant was the person who specialized in collecting the corpse for the Sword Crown.
Xu Fengyen smiled and shook his head, did not continue to explain anything.
Some of the Beiliang’s own affairs, with these ancestors left a legacy of “do not seek Lianchengbi, but seek to kill the sword” of the Wu family withered swordsmen to say, chicken and duck talk, it does not make sense.
Xu Fengyen’s mood is much heavier than it appears.
Chu Lushan refused to leave Huaiyang Pass, only gave the refusal of the northern city a sentence.
“I Chu Lushan in or out of Huaiyang Pass, the situation on the battlefield outside Liangzhou Pass, is two different things.”
Xu Fengnian knew the implication of the words, but he still wished to fight for it one last time, in person.
Not as a vassal king who is the master of 300,000 Northern Liang iron horsemen, not to meet the Northern Liang capital guard, but only as Xu Snapdragon’s first eldest son, to meet the human butcher’s righteous son of Luqiu’er.
The reason why he hoofed it so much was because Xu Fengyen was incredibly clear that once he waited until Dong Zhuo personally appeared outside of Huaiyang Pass, then Chu Lushan would be even more unlikely to leave, and he, Xu Fengyen, couldn’t just straight up knock Chu Lushan unconscious and tie him back to Refuse North City, pointless.
As for why he did not leave behind the Wu family sword mound eighty riders, rushed to Huaiyang Pass alone, here is some complexity.
There are thousands of things in the world, but peace of mind is the most difficult to seek.
The closer he got to the southern entrance of Huaiyang Pass where the road was arduous and rugged, not only Wu Liuding who looked bored beside the young feudal lord, not only Nalan Huaiyu who was a rouge appraising beauty who surreptitiously sized up the young feudal lord’s back every now and then, even Cuihua, a woman whose swordsmanship had reached the realm of spiritual rhinoceros, had also detected Xu Fengyen’s strange emotions.
Huaiyang Pass was known as the first dangerous pass outside Liangzhou Pass, the narrow and cramped mountain road at the south entrance was not to be credited for the winding and ruggedness of the narrow and cramped mountain road, which made this pass free from worries.
Possibly realizing that he had a problem with his state of mind, Xu Fengyen suddenly turned his head to look at Wu Liuding and asked with a smile, ”I heard that your Wu family had your old ancestor assessed the Sword Mound swordsmen in these twenty years, and apart from Deng Tai’a who was born with the most murderous aura, there is also Zhuhuang who had the most murderous heart, and Cuihua who had the most murderous intent. Then you, Wu Liu Ding as the Sword Crown?”
Wu Liuding said with a shameless face, “I ah, it is obvious that the root bone is the best and the talent is the highest!”
Zhu Huang, who was sitting on the back of the horse with his arms around his chest, snorted and laughed out in a very nonchalant sneer.
Xu Fengyin laughed: “Wu Liuding, don’t bully me for not having seen the world, not to mention other things, I have seen several natural sword embryos, the charcoal seller of the Guanyin Sect and Chen Tianyuan of the Taibai Sword Sect, their roots are one step better than yours.”
Wu Liuding let out an oh and said with a disinterested face, “I still have the highest talent, so what am I afraid of. The old ancestor said when I was very young that a genius of sword dao like me, who is not encountered in a hundred years, that the sword dao climbing up cannot be theorized in a normal way, and that there is no such thing as a gradual progression at all.”
Xu Fengnian tsked and laughed.
Wu Liuding glared at the young feudal lord and said in a serious manner, “Surname Xu, think about it, back then when you and I first met on the great river, what realm was I in? A sloppy pseudo Finger Xuan only, but at that moment I was already breaking into the world as a Sword Champion, what do you think I relied on?”
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “By face?”
Wu Liuding froze and smiled brightly, reaching out to rub his cheeks, “That’s right!”
The Sword Servant Cui Hua, who always had her eyes closed, sighed slightly.
The old man with snowy beard and hair of the Helian family name laughed softly, “Your Highness, this matter is really not our young master bragging, the sword mound once had a weird fortune teller of unknown origin, who felt the bones of this child of Liuding to determine his future, and said that in his life there were three times that carp jumped over the Dragon Gate, the first time was the first time that Liuding entered the Sword Mountain when he was young, and at that time, almost everyone didn’t think highly of this child who practiced the sword in an exhaustive manner, and was really able to pull out a sword. The first time was the first time he entered the sword mountain when he was young, almost everyone was not optimistic about this lazy child who practiced the sword, but he was able to pull out a sword, and unexpectedly attracted twelve swords at the same time, which can be said to be one of the few anomalies in the long history of the Wu family, and after this, the six tripods that had practiced the sword for three days and two days, the six tripods were even more perfunctory until the sword mound decided to choose the new sword champion, and the six tripods had been stagnant in the realm of the small masters did not even get to the realm of the third rank, and suddenly comprehended the Xuan Sword Technique of a few fingers ……”
Wu Liuding laughed out loud and said, “That’s genius, if I really practiced sword with all my heart, what’s more?!”
Xu Fengyin unprecedentedly echoed a hmmm, only the next sentence let Wu Liuding completely defeated, “If I calculate correctly, Wu Da Jianguan still have a carp jump dragon door opportunity, now it is half a bucket of water Fingers of Xuan realm, then when the time comes to stumble amongst the heavenly phenomenon realm is still possible, not bad, probably be able to compete with the peer group in the …… that Hui Shan Xuanyuan Qingfeng, who is said to have realized longevity by watching snow in one night, to fight on par, of course, provided that she only uses one hand.”
Wu Liuding was furious, “Even if I can only break the realm to be among the Heavenly Elephants, even if I can’t be among the Great Heavenly Elephants realm in one step, I will definitely be able to make one or two Land Sword Immortal moves at that time!”
Xu Fengyen let out an oh, lightly adding insult to injury, “One or two hands ah, it’s quite impressive. Like me it’s only a couple dozen hands.”
Wu Liuding had a pitiful look on his face and turned his head to look at Nalan Huaiyu, “Aunt Nalan, this guy is too bullying!”
She smiled sweetly and fell on her sword, “Auntie is not your mother, it’s useless to complain to me.”
Xu Fenian smiled, “Right, Sister Nalan don’t bother with him.”
Nalan Huaiyu raised her eyebrows and her smile intensified. The style between her eyebrows was like a smoke wave curling up.
Wu Liuding instantly returned to his soul, glowing with vigor, turning his head to the sword attendant Cuihua and whispering, “Listen to this guy’s accent, worthy of being a veteran in the flowers, Cuihua, isn’t it?”
Unexpectedly, Cuihua said, “No.”
The young Sword Crown who seemed to have received a fatal sword from the Land Sword Immortal was suddenly as if his heart was dead, and he only felt uninterested.
Xu Fengnian took a deep breath.
The southern gate of the outer city of Huaiyang Pass had arrived.
If the Northern Mang attacked Liangzhou this time, and it was Murong Baoding’s ministry that attacked Huaiyang Pass, Xu Fengyen would not have to come here at all.
But things are unpredictable, Dong Zhuo came.
Not only that, the number of Dong Zhuo’s private army men, which was originally known to all of Liangmang, doubled!
In the first Liangmang battle, although Dong Zhuo’s private army hadn’t been injured, it had suffered a lot of losses, and the matter of Dong Zhuo’s private army had always been a laughing stock in the temple hall of the Southern Dynasty of Northern Mang. Rumor has it that the old woman, after meeting the little fat man who likes to call himself the emperor’s sister, told him personally with a smile on her face, “Dong Chubby, you can have your private army in the southern dynasty, but don’t toss it to 100,000, if you cross this line, it’s okay, I’ll just promote you to the north court as a great general. I don’t know if the rumor is true or not, but after that, Dong Zhuo’s cavalry and foot soldiers were roughly maintained at around 60,000 men, and never exceeded 80,000 at their peak.
This time, while Dong Zhuo submitted a letter to the female emperor of North Mang requesting to attack Huaiyang Pass, seemingly overnight, the Dong family’s private army camp was flooded with 80,000 prairie cavalry!
Together with the more than 10,000 Zoran iron horsemen given to him by the old woman afterward, the scale of Dong Zhuo’s private army had already increased.
The scale of Dong Zhuo’s private army has far surpassed that of all the great generals, including Tuoba Bodhisattva, Huang Song Pu, and Liu Gui, and it stands tall against the Northern Mang!
The two dynastic halls of Xijing and Beiting right now must all be feeling horrified and confused at the same time.
This Fatty Dong who secretly possesses this terrifying family foundation, is he going to rebel or not?
At this moment, in the view of the Wu Clan’s swordsmen outside of Huaiyang Pass.
A fat man with a flattering face stood at the entrance, as if a small mountain stood at the gate.
In the twenty years of border smoke in the Northern Liang Dao, in the civil and military officialdom, there was an anomaly each who was the best at kissing ass.
Li Gongde likes to pat Xu Snap’s ass, kung fu is perfect, can be called spring breeze and rain.
There is a fat man who has won the reputation of “Chu Bakao” for his poetic skills, but he likes to pat His Highness’s horse, but how disgusting how to come.
Xu Fengyen rolled over and dismounted, Chu Lushan naturally helped to lead the horse with skillful movements.
In the twilight, the two were the first to enter the city.
Xu Fengyen did not open his mouth to speak.
After a few moments of silence, that Luqiu’er slowly said, “I am at peace, and I also ask that Your Majesty be at peace.”
Xu Fengnian eyed ahead and said softly, “It’s hard.”
Chu Lushan stopped and said to himself, “To be honest, this world, this world, has always made me, Chu Lushan, very unhappy.”
Inside the city gate cave, the sight was dim.
Chu Lushan stopped his steps, turned his head and smiled, “Because this world, let my most respected righteous father and mother, their son, unhappy.”
The young Vassal King also stopped walking and was silent.
Chu Lu Shan could not see his face, nor did he want to, so he turned back around again.
The two just stopped walking in the darkness.
Chu Lushan suddenly said in a deep voice: “Don’t send, Chu Lushan has killed countless times in the sand in this life, every time he brings someone to death, he doesn’t need to be sent off, and even more so, he doesn’t want to be collected.”
Chu Lushan strides forward, after walking out of the city gate hole, tilting his head to look at the sky.
He had kissed that young man’s ass many times in his life and said countless words of ass.
This fat man, at this moment, thought about many years ago, having that young boy riding on his neck while he rode on top of the then Xu family’s warhorse.
Two brothers with different surnames, together they rode the horse to the west.
The fat man with his back to the young man, softly read in his heart.
Xiaonian, my Chu Lushan’s brother, why do you and I need to meet again.
