A few days ago.
Bingzhou.
Jiugu Mountain.
Think about Qizhuang.
An old man in white robes stood upright holding a bow and arrow.
After a while.
He held the bow with his left hand, and stretched the bow string with his right hand. The arrows on the bow were aimed at three targets a hundred steps away.
Whoosh!
A crisp sound broke through the air.
The arrow shot out like lightning.
In the blink of an eye.
The arrow pierced hard into the three archery targets, above the center bullseye.
In the center of this bullseye, the two characters "Yang Jian" are clearly engraved.
As for the two archery targets, one on the left and one on the right - the bullseye on the left is engraved with the word "Yu Juluo"; the bullseye on the right is engraved with the word "Yang Lin".
"Father! A homing pigeon has returned from the backyard."
At this moment.
A warrior who was no more than a year old, taller than ten feet tall, and with a waist as big as ten girth, walked quickly, bowed slightly, and said to the old man.
"The homing pigeons are coming back, so why make such a fuss?"
The old man waved his hand and didn't seem to care.
"My foster father is not an ordinary carrier pigeon, but the piebald carrier pigeon."
The warrior frowned and whispered.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this.
The old man's face was solemn.
He raised his hand and motioned to the warrior to show him the letter on the carrier pigeon.
Not long after.
The old man finished reading the letter.
He let out a long sigh, then turned to the warrior and said, "Mu Jue, please keep a strict guard at home and don't come out of the mountain. I'll go down and do some things. I'll be back soon!"
"Father, as the saying goes, the teacher has his orders, and the disciple must obey him... I don't know if this is dangerous. Can I let my child do it for me?"
When the warrior heard this, his expression changed slightly and he asked quickly.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. This matter is what I have promised to others a long time ago. It has nothing to do with you... You are practicing martial arts in the mountains, so don't think wildly."
The old man waved his hand and said to the warrior.
Say it.
He returned to his residence, packed up his armor, spear and halberd, mounted his horse, and headed straight down the mountain.
…
Back to the present.
Outside Yanyun Pass.
The old general was so powerful that he shot Zhang Xutuo open and saved Liang Shitai.
At this moment.
Wang Ke, who was standing on his horse, already knew the identity of this person through the simulator in his mind.
[Name: Xue Ying (also known as Shaoxuan),
Age: seventy-two years old,
Weapons: Eight-foot purple green dragon halberd (180 kilograms), four-foot green double spears (160 kilograms),
Mount: Chaoyun Chasing Moon Silver Dragon Horse,
Martial Arts: Green Dragon Halberd Technique (Dacheng), Turning Back with Elbows and Double Spear Technique (Dacheng),
Technique: teach the powerful spirit,
General: Xidou Juweixingjun. 】
"It turns out to be him!"
Look at Xue Ying's name.
Wang Ke felt that it was both unexpected and reasonable.
In his previous life, he was familiar with many versions of Pingshu romance stories of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Naturally, we know that in the storytelling settings of some artists, Xue Ying is a god-like existence.
In Wang Ke's memory.
Xue Ying, known as the "White-robed Double Spear General", is the younger brother of the "Double Spear Veteran" Ding Yanping.
This person's name was not revealed during the turbulent times of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and he had been living in seclusion.
but.
When Tang Taizong Li Shimin came to the throne.
It coincides with Luo Tong's sweep to the north.
Xue Ying has only one record of taking a direct shot.
It was during this battle that Xue Ying used the method of defeating a single gun with two guns and killed the Northern General Yuan Mujue who had caused great trouble to the Tang army.
This allowed Luo Tong's soldiers and horses to march straight in, and finally won the victory in sweeping the north.
However.
This is just a common saying in storytelling.
In this world.
Xue Ying's life experience is even more complicated.
In this world, Xue Ying, nicknamed Shaoxuan, is a direct descendant of Xue Andu, a famous general in the Northern Wei Dynasty. He has practiced the ancestral Qinglong Halberd technique since he was a child.
When he grew up, like countless ancestors, he entered the army and followed the generals in battles in the north and south.
It's a pity that when he was just starting out, it was already the end of the troubled times between the north and the south.
At that time, Yang Zhong was at his peak in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
The Northern Qi Dynasty where Xue Ying was located was in decline. One generation is worse than the other.
but.
This Xue Ying is no ordinary person.
Relying on his martial arts and military skills, he gradually rose to the position of general, and served as deputy general under Hu Luguang, the first general in the Northern Qi Dynasty at that time.
Hu Luguang was strict in managing the army, took the lead, and did not seek personal gain. He had repelled the Northern Zhou attacks many times, and was the pillar of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
However, Gao Wei, the leader of the Northern Qi Dynasty, was mediocre and fell into the trap of the famous Northern Zhou general Wei Xiaokuan, so he unjustly killed Hu Luguang.
After learning about this.
Xue Ying was shocked and angry.
He not only hated Gaowei for being fatuous, but also hated the generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty for their scheming.
Therefore, Xue Ying prepared to gather Hu Luguang's soldiers and horses to start a decisive battle with the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
unexpectedly.
at this time.
Yu Juluo, another highly trusted lieutenant of Hu Luguang, returned angrily and surrendered to Yang Lin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and led his troops to counterattack the Northern Qi Dynasty in an attempt to avenge Hu Luguang.
This Yu Juluo had double eyes and the power of an overlord. Xue Ying had few soldiers and horses under his command, and his morale was low. Knowing that he was no match, he could only disband his troops and abandon his official position.
later.
Xue Ying lives in exile.
He received the true biography of the hermit master, Zen Master Zhirong, and became the Zen master's close disciple. He learned the technique of double spears and extremely exquisite bow skills.
Since then.
Xue Ying lived in seclusion in the mountains.
In addition to practicing martial arts every day, he also took on his apprentice Yuan Mujue, and at the same time went to the north to do business, selling horses, medicinal materials and other items.
Who would have thought that such an ordinary transaction would almost bring disaster to Xue Ying.
It was a time when Xue Ying went north to sell horses and accidentally met several generals who were also under Hu Luguang's command.
These people all deeply hated Hu Luguang's death.
At this time, Wei Xiaokuan, the mastermind of the alienation plan, had died of illness, but the pioneer Yang Lin, the traitor Yu Juluo, and Yang Jian, the son of the commander Yang Zhong, were still alive.
Therefore, these people decided to raise troops in the north to win over the population of Hebei and oppose the Sui Dynasty.
However, their plan was kept secret and was discovered by Gao Qiao, who was patrolling the world.
Gao Yan followed the clues and caught everyone in one fell swoop. While collecting clues, he also discovered letters from Xue Ying providing horses, weapons, and armor for everyone.
Get this evidence.
Logically speaking, Xue Ying must be caught by Yang Jian and then beheaded.
But.
Just at this time.
Yang Liang, king of Han Dynasty, came to Bingzhou.
He saw that Xue Ying was highly skilled in martial arts and had an extraordinary appearance, and he was very fond of him. So he asked Yang Jian to let Xue Ying live on the pretext of his kindness to heal Hebei.
At this time, Yang Jian had just unified the north and really needed to win over people's hearts, so he agreed to Yang Liang's request.
That's why.
Xue Ying was very grateful to Yang Liang.
Although he was unwilling to be an official in the Sui Dynasty, he agreed to Yang Liang's request. If Yang Liang asked for something important in the future, he would do his best.
Hearing Xue Ying's promise.
Yang Liang didn't take it seriously at first.
However, this time he was frustrated at Pujin Pass, and Wang Ke personally led an army to Bingzhou... Only at this critical moment did he finally remember that there was a person like Xue Ying.
…
Back to the present.
clang!
There was a loud bang.
The green dragon halberd in Xue Ying's palm rose sharply, shaking Zhang Xutuo away and retreating.
Zhang Xutuo looked serious, stared at the tall old man in front of him with a pair of tiger eyes, and asked coldly: "Is it you who killed the thirty-six generals of Yanmen County?"
"Of course!"
Xue Ying nodded slightly and looked Zhang Xutuo up and down with his eyes.
during this time.
The green dragon halberd in his palm traveled across Bingzhou, and the winner of the battle was decided in less than thirty rounds.
Until then.
Seeing Zhang Xutuo's extraordinary physical strength and exquisite mace skills, he felt that he had met his opponent.
"Okay! I've heard of your name a long time ago. We meet here today and it's a good time to learn a lesson from you!"
Zhang Xutuo looked at Xue Ying, with fighting spirit in his eyes, and shouted loudly.
The words just fell.
He kicked the black wind horse beneath him with both legs.
The war horse roared, and its four iron hooves galloped towards Xue Ying.
