Chapter 71: God Soldier Wu Hook

[This is not good now...]

When he heard Shen Ying's sneer, even Li Tong, who was the thickest, showed a look of dementia and confusion, not to mention the others... As for Xu Kun, who was shocked and angry, he seemed to have forgotten the injuries on his chest, and a pair of tigers stared at the edge of the eyes.

No wonder, after all, Shen Xing's words were too shocking. Who would have thought that the rebels would have the courage to use 40,000 to 50,000 troops as bait?

Mr. Zang Minzang, the governor of Yangzhou, could not have imagined that after he heard that the rebels had invaded Guangling County, he hurriedly mobilized elite soldiers and generals from Guangling County, and transferred all elite commanders and county lieutenants from various places such as Chen Qi, Lu Min, Wang Zhuo, and Han Hu to prepare to fight against the rebels. This was originally a problem, but who would have thought that the rebels would use the convenience of transporting soldiers in warships to bypass Guangling and sneak attack Hailing? Now, the old man's previous move to draw elite troops from various counties to block the rebels has accomplished the rebels. Just imagine, if there were no elite commanders and county lieutenants in various places like Lu Min, Wang Zhuo, and Han Hu, and the county lieutenants in the local area where they were serving, why should those counties block the sudden offensive of the rebels?

The prefect of Danyang, Xu Jie and Fuchun County Magistrate Sun Jian, did not expect that they had completely planned the rebels this time, and planned to fight out from the rear of the rebels after the rebels crossed the Yangtze River, trying to kill all the rebels in Guangling County. But who would have thought that the rebels had already expected that Guangling County would share the same hatred with Danyang County. Now, the fierce general Sun Jian and the strong soldiers Danyang soldiers chased the bait army led by the rebel commander Shen Xing, and the capture was indeed quite large, but the county town that was defending was inexplicably lost.

Shen Xing said it was not bad at all. This is called winning the war and losing the battle. Due to the overall strategic mistake, although Guangling County won several victories, it lost something more important.

You should know that in addition to Jiangdu, there are Tangyi, Dongyang, Lingxian, Ping'an, Gaoyou, Sheyang, Hailing, Yandu, Haixi and other county towns. This time, Mr. Zang Minzang drew elite county magistrate-level military officers from other counties to strengthen the military force of Jiangdu, which undoubtedly weakened the military strength of other counties. At this time, if the rebels bypass Jiangdu and directly attack coastal counties such as Hailing, Yandu, and Haixi, and then use these coastal counties as bridgeheads to gradually attack Guangling County. In the end, what can be done if Jiangdu is strictly prepared? Can Jiangdu, which has become an isolated city, survive the offensive of the rebels?

I have to admit that the rebels played very well with their own tricks. They fooled everyone in Guangling County.

After consciously this, Xu Kun has become aware. As a deputy general of the Danyang army, as Sun Jian's nephew, and as the nephew of Xu Jie, the prefect of Danyang, he is ready to give up his life and delay Shen Xing and others. He gives Zhang Huang and other black-feathered crows enough time to escape from here. In his opinion, his uncle Sun Jian is still trying every means to capture this camp in the Xiying where the five armies are stationed. If Zhang Huang and the others can escape to Sun Jian, they will definitely be able to escape safely. As for Xu Kun, Xu Kun is very clear that he is not enough to break through the obstacles of the rebels and escape from the ground. Therefore, he gave up. He is ready to give up his life and let Zhang Huang and others escape from the steepness. And send this crucial information back to Zhujia Town.

Consoling to pay attention, Xu Kun lowered his head, put his mouth close to Zhang Huang's ear, and whispered in a low voice, "Take out the sword in front of me, I will help you fight out... I have my uncle outside the Xiying Camp. You can meet him and keep it safe."

"..." Zhang Huang opened his mouth slightly. He didn't ask any stupid words like 'What should you do, Brother Xu?' because Xu Kun's words were undoubtedly explaining the funeral. This straightforward and cheerful young tiger general of Danyang soldier had given up his hope of survival just to help them get out of the predicament.

Although Zhang Huang knew in his heart that the fundamental reason why Xu Kun did this was to want them to send the crucial information back to the army, he was still moved. To be fair, Zhang Huang did not want Xu Kun, who was like the "big brother next door" to die here in the past few days.

But what should I do?

Zhang Huang fell into deep thought. Of course, he knew that if he wanted to escape with Xu Kun, killing Shen Xing was the best way, but he had to know that Shen Xing was difficult to deal with. As the commander of the rebels, Shen Xing was far above Yuan Han's martial arts. Even if he was not Sun Jian's opponent, it was not something that Zhang Huang and other young men could deal with. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Huang and others would not even be able to defeat Shen Xing's rigid body.

This concern forced Zhang Huang to restrain his sharpness and murderous intent in his eyes. But what he did not expect was that the flash of murderous intent was clearly captured by the mysterious man.

"Wu Gou...is a legendary famous sword."

There was a sudden silence around, and it was from the mysterious cloaked man's mouth, which made everyone present stunned.

However, the mysterious cloaked man ignored everyone's confusing eyes and held the teacup and said to himself, "It is said that it is the sword of King Fuchai of Wu, which has the effect of destroying evil."

[What is this guy talking about?]

Zhang Huang snatched a strange look at the mysterious cloaked man, and suddenly his body shook slightly.

[Wait!…Break the evil?]

Zhang Huang suddenly turned his head and stared at the sword that pierced Xu Kun's chest. He still remembered that Shen Ying had just held this sharp sword in his hand and pierced Xu Kun's body with a magical sword, which made the latter's rigid body fail to have any effect.

[Is this sword...it is Wu Gou?!]

With Xu Kun, who also noticed this, Zhang Huang held the hilt of the sword and suddenly pulled it out of Xu Kun's chest. Of course, he did not forget to stick a Taoist talisman engraved with the technique of "Tao Water" on Xu Kun's chest. Although Zhang Huang, who was a beginner in this technique, could not do the magic of the way that seemed to be alive and dead when Zhou of the Tang Dynasty was in Taishan County, Zhang Huang could do it if he just stopped bleeding and scabs.

"Empress, you..." Shen Xing turned his head in shock and looked at the mysterious cloaked man who was drinking tea on his own. Perhaps others didn't know, but as the master of the sword, Shen Xing wouldn't know that the name of the sword was "Wu Gou", which was his loyal lord, and now the magic weapon given to him by the father of Emperor Yangming Xu Zhao.

Since it is a magic weapon, it naturally has a miraculous effect different from ordinary weapons. This is indeed the case. These magic weapons created by famous sword-making craftsmen in the Spring and Autumn Period and the pre-Qin period are different from the standard weapons produced today, and have a certain degree of suppression of qi. They can make the rigid bodies that warriors are proud of to be invalid to a certain extent.

In fact, as many years ago, the Mos and Confucians had already studied and discovered that the famous smelting craftsmen of the previous generation seemed to have known how to integrate the Buzhou stone into the sword embryo. On this basis, Mos and Confucians studied and improved it and gradually mastered the cross-age technology of integrating the Buzhou stone crystal into steel. It is no exaggeration to say that this technology is a bad news for any martial artist in the world who masters qi.

[This is... the magic weapon ‘Wu Gou’?!]

Holding the Wu Gou Jian in his hand, Zhang Huang clearly captured the abnormality of the sword: this magic weapon that looked like a living creature. Instinctively rejected the qi in Zhang Huang's body, but it was very contradictory. While resisting the qi, it also absorbed a small thread of qi in his body. This strange phenomenon made Zhang Huang puzzled.

However, it is obviously not the time to study this magic weapon. Zhang Huang looked up at Shen Ying, and saw that Shen Ying, who had just been full of pride, had his face turned pale, especially his eyes, and there was a bit of anxiety and fear in his shock and anger.

[Wu Gou can break the rigid body... Then Shen Ying has nothing to be afraid of!]

After making up his mind, Zhang Huang's face turned upright, holding Wu hook sword in his hand and rushed towards Shen Ying.

"Kill them!" Shen Ying's face changed slightly and issued an order. At the same time, several nearby rebel soldiers rushed up to protect his own commander.

[Why? Why did this adult frame me?]

While his soldiers besieged Zhang Huang and others, Shen Xing did not take action himself, but looked at the mysterious cloaked man with a complicated expression. Although he was not sure of the exact identity of the other party, Shen Xing also knew the noble identity and powerful strength of this master. He really couldn't understand why such a big man who was obviously their ally had to expose the background of Wu Gou Jian, so that the divine weapon fell into Zhang Huang's hands, and Shen Ying was very passive.

If someone else had done such a "rebel" move, Shen Xing would have probably killed the Jiqi flag, but Shen Xing would never dare to offend the slightest bit of offense.

"Shishuai, be careful!"

A shout woke Shen Xing, who was in deep thought. He raised his head, but was shocked to see a ball of flame exploded in front of him, which was clearly the Taoist fire spell that Zhang Huang had just used.

Shen Ying subconsciously raised his hand to block and protect the face. At this moment, an extremely familiar sword flashed with cold light and drilled into Shen Ying's ribs. Under the obstruction of Shen Ying's rigid body, he had only a slight pause and effortlessly tore through the rigid body.

"Swish--"

A blood mark appeared on Shen Ying's waist, and his strong rigid body did not have any effect at all.

[Is this the power of the magic weapon?]

Zhang Huang was so happy that he had no choice but to know that he liked to use swords, but he had no chance to learn the sword move "cutting iron" that specializes in breaking the rigid body. Now that he has obtained a magic weapon, Wu hook, he doesn't have to learn to cut iron. Of course, the premise is that Zhang Huang always holds a magic weapon.

[This is really... too strong!]

Seeing that Shen Xing, whose strength was far higher than his, had a red face and flashed left and right in front of him, feeling embarrassed, Zhang Huang secretly lamented in his heart that the power of the divine weapon Wu Gou. A divine weapon completely subverted the difference in strength between the two.

Of course, the reason why Zhang Huang had this illusion was that the Quzhu he mastered made Shen Ying unable to have the chance to hit him. If he hit him, he believed that Shen Ying's powerful rigid body could easily break Zhang Huang's bones, even Zhang Huang also used his rigid body.

"Sir! Sir!"

Shen Xing, who was almost forced into a desperate situation by Zhang Huang, couldn't help but ask for help from the mysterious cloaked man. This action made Zhang Huang suddenly feel excited. Of course, he knew how powerful this suspicious guy was.

But unexpectedly, the mysterious cloaked man seemed to have no intention of helping Shen Xing, as if he watched Zhang Huang rely on his own creation to gradually force Shen Xing into a dead end.

"Hehe, interesting, interesting..."

With Zhang Huang's alertness, the mysterious cloaked man laughed grimly, but he had no intention of helping him.

This made Shen Ying feel very anxious. Seeing that his situation was getting more and more dangerous, he couldn't help but shout, "Empress, you said you wanted to save Shen!"

"Hehe, I said it. However, it means that if Sun Jian comes to kill you, I will definitely save you... This little devil is not Sun Jian." Shen Ying couldn't help but feel a little desperate, and he actually stood by and watched.

In the end, with the power of the divine weapon Wu hook and the extraordinary effect of Qubu, Zhang Huang spent some time but still killed Shen Xing. This was impossible in the past. However, the divine weapon Wu hook made the impossible possible.

The commander of the rebels, this is simply an incredible merit!

But Zhang Huang had no time to be happy. Because he knew very well that the most terrifying person in the tent was not Shen Xing from the beginning, but the mysterious cloaked man who drank tea from the beginning to the end.

[Is it an enemy or a friend?]

Seeing the suspicious mysterious cloaked man, Zhang Huang fell into deep thought.

If you want to say that this person is a friend. This person is sitting in the tent of the rebel commander Shen Xing. Judging from the situation, he seems to be very happy with Shen Xing. He is clearly a person from the rebel side, either an alliance or a mastermind. But if it were the enemy, if this person had not mentioned the details of Zhang Huang's magic weapon Wu Gou, Zhang Huang would have no courage to kill Shen Xing at all, and the best result would be to escape with Xu Kun sacrificed his life to cut off the rear.

But no matter what, Zhang Huang was wary of this mysterious man. He would never relax at all.

[How about trying to hit?]

After shaking the divine weapon Wu hook in his hand, Zhang Huang, who suddenly became more courageous, wondered whether he could use the power of the divine weapon to try to attack this mysterious guy. Although this idea was suspected of being kind to revenge, the pressure on Zhang Huang was too great.

However, the mysterious cloaked man did not give Zhang Huang a chance to take action. After glanced at Shen Ying who was already lying in a pool of blood, he looked at Zhang Huang and nodded slowly, and smiled in a gloomy tone and horror, "Not bad!... We will meet again, little devil!"

After saying this, the mysterious cloaked man put down the teacup in his hand. After laughing a few times, his whole body seemed to have turned into mud and quickly merged into the ground, disappearing without a trace. Zhang Huang was stunned by this scene.

[Exit technique? This guy actually knows earth escape?]

After being shocked, Zhang Huang breathed a sigh of relief.

Not to mention that Zhang Huang, holding a divine weapon, protected the seriously injured Xu Kun, with the cooperation of the Black Feather Crows, fought hard to break out of the siege, and the mysterious cloaked man, in just a blink of an eye, this man had already left Renwu Jun Gate with the help of escape, and appeared in a nearby hill.

Before the mysterious cloaked man appeared, there was another person on this hill. He was a burly man with yellow turbans on his head and a yellow suit. His eyes were covered with yellow cloth. He stood on the hill with his arms around him, looking at the direction of Ren Wujun Tun. I don’t know if his eyes covered with yellow cloth could see something.

It was the straw dog who saved Zhang Huang's life in Mount Tai!

Perhaps because he noticed something, the straw dog subconsciously came to his senses and swung his right arm at the mysterious cloaked man who appeared behind him. But in the end, his fist stopped only one inch away from the mysterious cloaked man, and then he knocked on the ground with one knee and bowed: "Straw dog, pay homage to the God's envoy!"

"Well, get up." The mysterious cloaked man nodded and signaled the straw dog to get up, then smiled, "That little devil... I really didn't expect that kid would come to this muddy water."

"What did he do?" asked the straw dog in confusion.

The mysterious cloaked man carried his hands on his back and said lightly, "It's nothing, it's just killing Shen Ying."

"Shen Ying? Who is the man?"

"Oh, by the way, you don't know Shen Xing... Shen Xing is the commander of the left-road army in the army under our ally Xu Zhao."

"Can that kid kill the commander of the first army?"

"It's not the real strength of that little ghost... That idiot Shen Xing accidentally dropped the divine weapon Wu hook into the other party's hands." When Shen Xing thought of Shen Xing's fear that he could not even hold the divine weapon in his hand after taking Zhang Huang's several fire curses, the mysterious cloaked man laughed.

"Will Shen Ying die if he dies..."

"It's okay." The mysterious cloaked man shook his head and said lightly, "Shen Xing's life and death are insignificant. As long as Xu Zhao is alive, it is enough... The stupid Shen Xing actually wanted to bring that little ghost under his command, but he didn't know that this move would ruin our plan for more than ten years. It's really a matter of death!"

"..." The straw dog kept silent and whispered for a while, "That little ghost is growing too slowly. If this continues, when will he go to Luoyang?"

"Don't be impatient." The mysterious cloaked man laughed, "In my opinion, the little devil is growing fast enough. There is no need for me to intervene. Just be careful that this little guy should not be given money and eaten by someone..."

"Those sword scholars? I haven't met them yet."

"If you don't meet it, it doesn't mean you won't meet it in the future... In short, be careful. Confucianism is not a solid piece of law. Maybe someone will tear up the agreement and harm that little ghost in advance... People in the world only know that Confucianism has a nine hundred years of inheritance, but they don't know that there is support from Taoist sects behind it... You should not underestimate the enemy!"

"The straw dog understands... By the way, when he was in Mount Tai, he encountered Tang Zhou."

"Tang Zhou... were you exposed to him?"

"No, but he must have doubted it... If that guy had arrived a while ago, I wouldn't have to show up to save that little devil."

"It's okay... Tang Zhou, that's also an important chess piece!"

The mysterious cloaked man laughed strangely, walked forward a few steps, looked up at the night sky and stretched his arms, and took a deep breath.

"When that little ghost has the strength to set foot in Luoyang, this battle that concerns the world will really begin. I'm really looking forward to it!...You think so too? The Han Dynasty's national master, the incarnation of God's will, the fifth palace! One day, you will die in my hands, this is your destiny! Hehehe, hahahaha..."

At the same time, in the tallest building in the imperial capital Luoyang, the top of a high tower, and the fifth palace Yuan of the Great Han Dynasty protecting the country, who was sitting quietly among the waves of fairy mist and sandalwood in the attic, suddenly opened his eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, and then slowly closed.
