Chapter two hundred and sixty seventh
The sky is gray, the river is cold and the sky is desolate and solemn.
Dozens of warships rushed through the waves and headed towards Yantan. The first one was the Mid-Boat ship. Zhao Liangcai stood upright on the bow. At this moment, Zhao Liangcai was wearing the armor of an official army, and looked proud and heroic. He was already the eighth-rank Xuanjie Captain of the government. In addition to the people who surrendered with him, Governor Zhu had replenished him 800 people and directly obeyed Governor Zhu's orders. The eighth-rank official was worthy of a county master, and Zhao Liangcai felt that there was blue smoke rising from his ancestral tomb.
During this period, Zhao Liangcai and his brothers were busy setting up Yantan outside. The officers and soldiers and Qingshanshui Village camp each camped on Yantan to guard them. A wooden ring was built between the two battalions, and the battle was held on the ring. Today is the eighth day of November, and Zhao Liangcai came to welcome Governor Zhu early on.
Governor Zhu praised Zhao Liangcai for his diligence, which made Zhao Liangcai feel light all over. Standing at the bow of the boat, the strong wind blew, Zhao Liangcai had a fire in his heart. Who said that I could only be a water bandit? Maybe in two years, I could become a general.
Yantan is not far away, with yellow reeds appearing in front of him. Jiang Anyi and Xinfei stood on the side of the boat and admired the dreamy scenery in front of him: the wind blew the reed poles, raised the white reed flowers, and birds were startled from the reed marsh, and flew into the distance. The snow in the sky fell on the river...
Zhao Liangcai asked someone to build a simple wharf beside Yantan. The hazy rush ship that the official army was riding on was shallow and could dock directly. At the dock, Zhao Lianghan and dozens of officers and soldiers lined up to welcome the arrival of Governor Zhu. Duan Cizong jumped onto the wharf and was immediately attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him. He chanted: "The reeds are green and the white dew turns into frost. The so-called beauty is on the side of the water. It is wonderful, wonderful."
Zhu Xupu smiled from the side and said, "Mr. Duan, our martial artists can't sing the wind and the moon, but the scene in front of us makes me feel very touched. The green breeze washes the reeds and the green blood stains the yellow sand is the style of our martial artists."
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up everywhere. Zhu Xunpu followed the offerings of more than ten dragon guards. One of the old men with white hair sighed: "The words Zhu's just now, 'The green edge cleans the reeds, and the green blood stains the yellow sand' are in line with my husband's wishes. We are warriors who have unfair feelings. If you draw your sword and ask, why are you afraid of life and death?"
When Zhu Xunpu saw Duan Cizong's face unhappy expression, he smiled and said, "Works carry the way, and martial arts serve the country. This governor appreciates talents like Anyi the most, who can be civil and military, and are the pillars of the country."
Jiang Anyi smiled and said nothing. He knew in his heart that Zhu Xupu was the one who wanted to be a shield for the sake of peace and civil and military dispute with Duan Cizong. Xinfei stood beside Jiang Anyi. The two of them were inseparable during these days. As long as they were not blind, they knew that they were in a relationship. Jiang Anyi didn't care, but Xinfei was sweet in her heart, so she praised her lover, which showed that her vision was outstanding. Even when she looked at Zhu Xupu, she felt that her black face became a little cute.
Yantan is dozens of miles in radius. In order to facilitate fighting, both sides sent people to cut off the reeds in the heart of the city and build a wooden platform. The platform is half a meter high, and is made of thick wood with a bowl mouth. It is covered with two inches of thick wooden boards, which are neatly spliced, and each left and right is ten feet wide. Not to mention fighting, you can rush to fight and ride a horse.
There are sanctuaries on both sides of the platform, and the sanctuaries on the water village are already full. Li Qing stood beside Liu Ziwei, looking at the Zhao brothers wearing armor leading the way in front of him, and sighed: "I didn't expect that the Zhao brothers would rebel against the waters in the battle. These two disasters are posed, which poses a great threat to the water village. You have to find a way to get rid of the two."
Liu Ziwei stroked his beard with his hand and said worriedly: "Now the government and army are strong, and our form is not good. We can only defend passively, and it is best to delay for some time."
Li Qing said: "Didn't Uncle Danyuanzi have good news? It is said that Rong Mi Kingdom united Shanlan, Zhuwu, and the Western Union, gathered 140,000 troops, and would advance east soon. Princess Shasu gave birth to a new prince. Unfortunately, she didn't know in advance. Otherwise, if someone would send a gift, she might have sent troops to Shasu and Qianglan."
"But Zheng Pingren and Zhou Shaofeng still had no news when they went to Beimo. Calculate the time, I guess there is no hope. What's even more hateful is that Tian Shaoqiu actually caught Yu Qiusheng hide-and-seek. Yu Qiusheng was in Miaojiang for more than a month and failed to see Tian Qiusheng." Liu Ziwei said angrily: "These people have forgotten the help of my Yuantian Sect to Miaojiang back then. People's hearts are fickle, and I miscalculated."
Zhou Zong sat behind them, his face still pale, and two big axes were placed beside the seats. His Heifeng Village had been swallowed up by Qingshanshui Village, but Zhou Zong no longer wanted to fight. He just wanted to fight with Yan Songyun today to fight, but he could end the last obsession in the world.
The wind brought the reed flowers and slowly fell in front of Zhou Zong, reminding him of the paper flowers when burying his wife and children. He slowly closed his eyes, and tears as big as beans slid from the corners of his eyes.
Wei Dachang was also full of resentment. He blamed Jiang Anyi for the failure in the Hunshui Village and vowed to get rid of this "smashing stick". However, Jiang Anyi didn't want to gamble with him, and Wei Dachang had no choice but to rub Liu Ziwei every day to find a way. Liu Ziwei was really uncomfortable with him, so he had to send someone to propose to Zhu Xupu to return the Left Wei Guard General He Pingjin, the condition was to let Jiang Anyi fight with Wei Dachang.
For Qingshan Shui Village, He Pingjin is just a useless person, and for the government, He Pingjin's symbolic significance is great. Being able to save him means that Anxi Protectorate is making progress in rescuing the Zuowei Guard's official army. Of course, Zhu Xupu would not let go of such a good thing, but he knew that he could not explain Jiang Anyi, so he ordered Duan Cizong to persuade Jiang Anyi and finally finalized the matter.
There were people on both sides, so there was no nonsense. Qingshan Shui Village had worship, and Longwei also came to the stage one-on-one, but Zhu Xunpu was disappointed. In three consecutive games, Longwei lost. Qingshan Shui Village had a great morale. Wang Tiangang, Qin Minghui, and a Yuantian scholar were released. Looking at Qingshan Shui Village's joyful celebration, Zhu Xunpu twisted off the armrest of the seat, and the arrogant Longwei worshipers also became silent.
In the fourth game, Zhou Zong took the axe and pointed at Yan Songyun with an axe and said, "Old man, I'm not going to the stage yet to die." On the same day, Zhou Zong got more than ten arrows. Yan Songyun saw that there were still a cloth wrapped around his legs and feet, and his injuries should have not healed.
"Master, I am humble to take the life of this crazy gangster." Yan Songyun reported. The last time it was a hasty and indirect battle. This time Yan Songyun changed a copper rod. As a general, Yan Songyun did not lack the courage to face life and death. He also wanted to take this opportunity to settle with Zhou Zong.
Zhu Xupu knew the grudge between Yan Songyun and Zhou Zong, frowned and ordered: "Be careful, have the soft armor I gave you ever put on?"
Yan Songyun said gratefully: "Thank you, the general. I have worn it just in case." Soft armor refers to a vest woven with fine metal wire. If the sword is cut, it can protect the body. This kind of wire drawing technology is extremely rare in Dazheng. It took two skilled craftsmen a year to weave such a pair of soft armor, so they are regarded as their lives by military generals. The Zhu family was the first military general and had several treasures at home. Yan Songyun was Zhu Xunpu's confidant. He knew in advance that he would have to duel with Zhou Zong, so Zhu Xunpu gave him a piece of protection.
Seeing Yan Songyun walking onto the ring, Zhou Zong's eyes began to turn red, and he roared towards Yan Songyun. The two axes danced like wheels, wishing that they could cut Yan Songyun into two pieces with one axe. Yan Songyun laughed in his heart, and the courage of every man was ready before going to the stage. He first roamed, consumed Zhou Zong's physical strength, and then put him to death.
His footsteps moved quickly, Yan Songyun moved away from the axe light that was whistling, and he picked up the copper stick in his hand and pulled towards Zhou Zong's back. Zhou Zong suddenly stopped his body rushing forward, twisted his body, and swept his two axes across. He didn't care about the copper stick he was whipping out, and the axe light rushed straight to Yan Songyun's waist.
Yan Songyun cursed inwardly that the desperate people had to withdraw the copper stick and retreat. The ring was big enough, and Yan Songyun kept retreating and detouring, consuming Zhou Zong's strength. However, Zhou Zong's two fan axes flipped like flying, turning into an axe mountain rolling continuously. The floating reed flowers were rolling up by the strong wind, and turned into a white reed flowers beside Zhou Zong.
Yan Songyun was secretly frightened. If this continues, he would be chopped up by the axe before Zhou Zong's strength is exhausted. He could not just fight. Yan Songyun's idea was changed, and the copper stick hits the axe blade, making a shocking sound of gold.
The two of them were so shocked that they retreated. Yan Songyun's eyes were sharp and he saw the cloth wrapped around Zhou Zong's thighs oozing blood red. It seemed that Zhou Zong's wound was torn apart again during the fight. Yan Songyun seized the opportunity and swept the copper stick straight, running towards Zhou Zong's legs.
The stick was long and the axe was short. Zhou Zong had to use the axe in his hand to roll it out. Another loud bang. Zhou Zong took a step back and the blood marks on the cloth became even bigger. Yan Songyun saw that the attack was effective, and the copper stick in his hand smashed towards Zhou Zong like a sea of scattered. The situation changed. This time it was Zhou Zong's turn to dodge left and right and dodge.
Jiang Anyi sighed secretly while watching the shed. He had already understood the hatred between Zhou Zong and Yan Songyun. To be honest, he was full of sympathy for Zhou Zong, but the enemy and we had different paths, so it was impossible to encourage Zhou Zong.
Suddenly, Zhou Zong roared wildly, and the copper stick hit his back heavily, making his clothes shattered, and a purple blood mark appeared on his back. Zhou Zong deliberately did not dodge, and used his injuries to exchange for a chance. The axe in his left hand flirted with him. A hoarse friction sound passed by. Zhou Zong turned around, but saw Yan Songyun's clothes on his abdomen being broken by the axe, revealing the shiny soft armor inside.
"Soft Armor for Protecting Body", Zhou Zong's vision became dim. With the armor to protect himself, he wanted to take Yan Songyun's life unless he broke his head and cut off his neck. During the fight, he found that Yan Songyun's protection against the top of his head was particularly tight.
Zhou Zong's chest was undulating, his face was rising red, and flames seemed to spew out of his eyes. He took out a pill from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth. This was what Liu Ziwei handed over to him before he went to the stage. It could stimulate the potential of life, but after using it, people were also ruined.
