Chapter 239: Flying Sword to Take the Head
Wudi general Ning Emei, holding a divination halberd, took the lead and led dozens of brave and elite cavalrymen from the Fengzi battalion to quickly drive out of the reed swamps.
He reined in his horse and gave a Northern Liang military salute to Xu Fengnian. Ning Emei said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have arranged for escorts to send Yu Youwei out of Qingzhou, and all other Fengzi battalions have returned."
Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "Take a count of the troops."
"Yes." Ning Emei accepted the order, dismounted and counted the number of people. After a moment, he showed a shocked face, turned around and reported to Xu Fengnian: "Your Majesty, there are three people missing."
Xu Fengnian immediately asked: "Where is the young one?"
Ning Emei replied: "The number of people was right when we set off. It should have happened at the reed swamp."
Xu Fengnian looked far away from the top of the carriage towards the reed swamp, and saw the wind blowing on the reeds, swaying like waves, but he could not find any clues.
Fang Muye said: "No need to look at the surnamed Xu, the three of them were captured."
Xu Fengnian looked at him in surprise: "How do you know?"
"Of course I saw it." Fang Muye flew up from the horse lightly, landed next to Xu Fengnian, and touched his body with his leg: "Sit over to the side and make room for me."
Seeing Fang Muye's ethereal and freehand Qigong, Xu Fengnian was completely shocked. He stared at Fang Muye with wide eyes, subconsciously moved his butt to the side, and his tone was full of disbelief: "No, Wen Hua, you kid
He’s really good at martial arts.”
"Didn't I tell you that I'm very strong now because you don't believe it?" Fang Muye waved his sleeves and sat down next to Xu Fengnian: "But I don't blame you. You said before that you were from Beijing.
When Prince Liang was here, I didn't believe it, but we were even."
Xu Fengnian couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and then asked in confusion: "Okay, even if you are strong, we are always here, how did you see it?"
Fang Muye said calmly: "What you can't see with your eyes, you can see with your God."
"See with God?" Xu Fengnian was even more puzzled.
But the old swordsman Li Chungang, who was whittling a wooden sword in the carriage, paused slightly when he heard this, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
"Your martial arts skills are too low. Even if you tell me, you don't understand." Fang Muye gently patted Xu Fengnian's shoulder and raised his chin in one direction: "Anyway, the three soldiers of Fengzi Camp and the people who captured them
, they’re all over there.”
In the direction indicated by Fang Muye, a few people were quietly standing in the reed marsh about a hundred feet away from the central area.
One of them is a middle-aged man, dressed in coarse cloth, with an unattractive appearance, dark skin, and a dull expression, just like a country farmer, but there is a golden soft sword wrapped around his waist.
The other two, one is a young man who looks like a scribe in blue, holding a slender bamboo pole in his hand. Behind him, stands a slender figure, carrying a long sword with an unsheathed sword on his back.
Sword, she closed her eyes. Although her appearance was plain, her edges and corners were particularly sharp, and there was a killing and heroic aura between her brows.
The leader of the last group was also a young man in gorgeous clothes. Although he looked carefree, his eyes revealed a kind of cunning and ambition. Behind him, there were four long-lost talismans in the world.
The generals were all wearing simple and heavy armor, with thick masks covering their entire faces, like divine soldiers and generals, and three of them were holding an elite Fengzi battalion in each hand.
The man in green shirt frowned and said in an uncertain voice, "That person seems to have discovered us."
"Impossible." The man in rich clothes shook his head: "Prince Jing'an has already checked the origin of that man. He is just a humble ranger that Xu Fengnian met on his last three thousand miles trip. This time he was just hanging out with Xu Fengnian.
We met him by chance in Fancheng, he doesn't know any martial arts at all, so it's nothing to worry about."
The middle-aged man said: "Even if he is nothing to worry about, there are still many people on Xu Fengnian's side. Where are King Jing'an's cavalry? When will they arrive?"
"Senior, just wait a little longer." The man in rich clothes muttered, his tone full of helplessness.
The central area of the reed marsh.
"I will take people to rescue them." Ning Emei glanced at the distance, then turned around and left.
Fang Muye stopped him and said, "General Ning, if you don't want to kill more Fengzi Camp soldiers, I advise you not to go."
"Mr. Wen, Feng Ziying cannot abandon our companions." Ning Emei said firmly.
Fang Muye nodded: "General Ning, I'm not asking you to abandon your companions, but since the enemy captured them instead of killing them, they naturally want to use them as bait. If you wait patiently, the enemy will
I sent the three of them here myself."
"Relax, Li Jianshen and I are here, nothing will happen to you." Fang Muye's words seemed to be addressed to Ning Emei, but also seemed to be addressed to others.
The blue bird suddenly said: "Here we come."
Everyone also heard the sound of wheels driving, and following the sound, they saw a lonely carriage driving out of the reeds along the path, and drove straight to Xu Fengnian's carriage. After the coachman stopped the carriage, he unexpectedly
Without saying a word, he jumped off the carriage and ran away.
After a while, the curtain of the carriage opened, and a beautiful woman with a graceful figure, holding a sandalwood box in her hand, bent down and walked out, standing gracefully in the carriage.
It is Princess Jing'an, Pei Nanwei.
"Xu, your old lover is here." Fang Muye touched Xu Fengnian and spoke in a low voice.
"Don't talk nonsense, that's my elder." Xu Fengnian retorted, then jumped off the carriage and walked slowly to the carriage, like a prodigal, staring at Pei Nanwei's wrist for a long time before asking
He said: "The beads my nephew gave to my aunt, why aren't I wearing them?"
Pei Nanwei opened the sandalwood box, took out a small box from it, handed it to Xu Fengnian, and said softly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will return the beads."
Xu Fengnian reached out to take it, took out the beads from the box, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why did you return this? You don't like it?"
Pei Nanwei said in a very polite tone: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"If you don't like it, don't give it up." Xu Fengnian said and threw out the box and beads: "Uncle Wang, what do you want to explain?"
Pei Nanwei took out another letter from the sandalwood box and handed it to Xu Fengnian: "He gave this to you."
Xu Fengnian took the letter, took out the secret message inside, opened it and saw that there were only four short words on it.
"Send your nephew a thousand miles away, just four words. Uncle Wang didn't say anything else?" Xu Fengnian frowned and looked at Pei Nanwei, trying to see something from her eyes, but unfortunately he didn't find any clues.
Pei Nanwei replied calmly: "He only asked me to give you the letter and didn't say much else. Maybe he knew that you were leaving Qingzhou, so these four words can be regarded as a farewell for you."
Xu Fengnian shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, these four words have two meanings, but they are not a farewell."
"Two meanings?" Pei Nanwei seemed to really not understand.
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "The first level is easy to explain. Thousands of miles downward is for Jiuquan. Uncle Wang means to send me to the road of Huangquan."
"The letter has been delivered and the beads have been returned. Your Majesty, please help yourself. I will take my leave first." Pei Nanwei did not answer the words. After speaking calmly, he bent down and got into the carriage.
But Xu Fengnian grabbed her wrist and said without refusal: "Auntie, get out of the car and let's talk."
Pei Nanwei, who had always looked graceful and dignified, turned red in the face. While struggling, he bit his lip and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please respect yourself."
Xu Fengnian didn't have the patience or mood to engage in riddles with the woman in front of her anymore, so she went straight to the point and asked, "Auntie, do you think you can still leave?"
This Princess Jing'an seemed completely unaware that she was in a critical situation, and the person behind her who was ruthlessly planning the situation happened to be the Prince Jing'an behind her who was very kind to her husband every day.
Pei Nanwei was stunned for a moment, looked around, and gradually gave up struggling.
Xu Fengnian let go of her wrist, took a step back, raised her arms horizontally, and said again: "Auntie, please get out of the car."
Pei Nanwei finally compromised, put down the sandalwood box, supported Xu Fengnian's arm and jumped out of the car, and asked helplessly: "Your Majesty, tell me, what do you want to talk about?"
Xu Fengnian was about to say something, but Ning Emei suddenly shouted: "He is one of ours."
He turned around and looked around, and sure enough he saw three red-armored talisman generals dragging three fainted Fengziying elite soldiers out of the reed marsh. After only pausing for a few breaths, they turned around to return to the reed marsh.
At this moment, a simple wooden sword cut through the sky, and instantly arrived in front of the three red armored talisman generals, and circled around their necks.
