General Li Pian said in a deep voice: "The money and food have been robbed!" The city gate captain and others were shocked.
Zhou Rong, the governor of the town, heard that Li Pianjiang, whom he sent to escort money and grain, ran back covered in blood. He was surprised and ran to the hall. I saw that General Li Pian was indeed covered in blood and looked very embarrassed. He couldn't help being surprised and asked: "What's going on with you? Where is the money and food I asked you to escort?" General Li Pian fell to his knees. He cried out, "They've all been robbed!" Zhou Rong's face changed drastically, and he asked with a stern face, "Who did it? You really are too ambitious!" General Li Pian said quickly, "It's the envoy of Xuanfu. Send someone to do it!”
The Zhenfu envoy was shocked, and then became furious and cursed: "You stupid son of a bitch, I didn't expect him to be so insidious!" Then doubts arose in his heart and he asked General Li Pian: "How do you know it was the Xuanfu envoy who sent someone to do this? "?" General Li Pian said: "The general heard it with his own ears! At that time, they suddenly came in, and our army was caught off guard and was defeated. The general was chopped with a knife. Seeing that the situation was over, he simply fell to the ground and pretended to be dead. Hear it with his own ears I heard one leader say to the other leader: "Things are going well, Lord Xuanfu will be very happy!" "
The Zhenfu envoy looked gloomy and frightening. He turned to Zhao Jue and said, "Gather your troops immediately!" Zhao Jue was shocked, "Sir, do you want to start a war with the Xuanfu envoy?"
The governor said coldly: "He wants to go to war with me, not me! But now I don't plan to go to war with him. I want to find enough evidence first!" Looking at Zhao Jue, "So many How can the money and grain be transported away without leaving any traces! I want to find the grain and grain first, seize his handle, and then report it to the court. The court will definitely not let him go!" Zhao Jue said happily: "Your Excellency is wise!" Then he ran down.
Soon after, Zhou Rong, the governor of the town, led Zhao Jue and five thousand soldiers and horses out of Chengdu towards the town where they were attacked. At about the same time, the Xuanfu envoy An Bing received the report that Zhou Rong was leading his army out of the city. He was greatly surprised and worried that the other party was trying to make things difficult for him, so he quickly ordered his troops to be on alert.
Zhou Rong led his army to Zhendian, and saw corpses strewn all over the ground. Everyone was probably shocked. Worried about an ambush, Zhou Rong ordered three thousand soldiers and horses to form outside the town, while he personally commanded another two thousand soldiers and horses to search the town. Zhou Rong suddenly discovered that the corpses on the ground were all his own sergeants. He was very surprised and said: "It's strange, why are the corpses on the ground all our people?" Only then did everyone notice and were extremely surprised. Zhou Shi's expression changed. , exclaimed in shock: "Could it be that the other party did not have any casualties!" When everyone heard this, their faces turned pale. Zhou Rong shook his head and said: "How is this possible! They must have taken away all the bodies of their own people. !" Everyone felt that what Zhou Rong said was reasonable, and they couldn't help but let go of their frightened hearts.
Zhou Rong ordered: "Search immediately to see if there are any corpses of the enemy. That is an important clue; send people to search around the town to see if any traces can be found; then gather everyone in the town and I will personally Ask!" All the officers agreed in unison and led their men to run down.
Suddenly, the sound of slamming doors rang loudly in the town, the barking of dogs and the cries of children, the voices of old men begging for mercy, and the frightened cries of women came one after another.
After a while, nearly a thousand people from more than a hundred households in the town were gathered in the square. When the people saw corpses strewn all over the square, surrounded by officers and soldiers wearing helmets and carrying swords, they couldn't help but be terrified.
Zhou Rong glanced at the people and said in a deep voice: "A very treacherous thing happened here not long ago. Someone actually attacked and killed the officers and soldiers and robbed the money and food to support the imperial court! Is it you who did it?"
An old man immediately knelt down and said with fear on his face: "Sir, the common people are all honest and honest people. How dare you commit such a serious crime of confiscating your family and exterminating your clan! Your Excellency knows this!" Other people also knelt down and begged for mercy.
Zhou Rong looked at the people begging for mercy in front of him with a sullen face, without any mercy. The evil fire in his heart had nowhere to vent, and he just wanted to kill here to vent his bad breath. He immediately snorted coldly and said with a fierce look on his face: "It happened here! No one will believe you if you say you didn't collude with the gangsters! Just hand over the gangsters, otherwise don't blame the king for being ruthless!" Common people He was so frightened that he begged for mercy even more desperately.
Zhou Rong's eyes flashed with ferocious killing intent, and he slowly raised his right hand.
At this moment, an officer hurried over to report: "Sir, we found traces of a large group of carriages and horses in the north of the town." Zhou Rong's eyes lit up, and he immediately stopped killing the people to vent his anger, and led his men Everyone ran towards the north of the town. When the common people saw these ferocious officers and soldiers suddenly leaving, they felt that they had escaped from death and couldn't help but collapse. Many people hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Zhou Rong rushed to the north of the town and saw the traces left by the large group of vehicles and horses. The traces were very clear and the ruts were very deep, which showed that those vehicles were carrying heavy goods. Zhou Rong said excitedly: "Found it!" Then he ordered: "The order team, come here immediately." A soldier immediately ran down to convey the order. Soon after, Zhao Jue arrived with three thousand soldiers and horses. Zhou Rong immediately led five thousand soldiers and horses to follow those traces.
At dawn, the army arrived outside Qingshui Pu. Zhou Rong saw a townhouse in front of him, raised his head and frowned: "I remember this is Qingshuipu, and Brother Qingshuipao's chief helm is here." Zhou Shi, who was next to him, said quickly: "What the elder brother said is absolutely true! Now! It seems that it was indeed the Xuanfu Envoy who sent someone to do it. Everyone knows that Brother Qingshui Pao is his Xuanfu Envoy's bastard!" Zhou Rong snorted coldly.
Qingshui Shop was crowded with people, and hundreds of men wearing green cloth turbans rushed out under the leadership of Tulou. Tulou was very surprised when he saw so many officers and soldiers. Immediately he recognized that the leader was Zhou Rong, the governor of the town. He murmured in his heart, slammed his ax on the ground, clasped his fists and said loudly: "My lord, please! I wonder what your lord did when he led these many officers and soldiers to Qingshui Pu." What's the point?"
Zhou Rong snorted coldly and said with murderous intent: "Those surnamed Tu, if you are wise, just hand over your things and let us go without a fight, otherwise I will kill you all!"
Tulou first heard that the other party asked him to hand over the things, and felt confused. Then he heard that the other party was going to kill all of his own people, and he immediately became furious, "My surname is Zhou, I'm being polite to you, please call you sir , in my eyes, you are a fucking piece of shit, how dare you fart in front of me!"
Zhou Rong was furious and shouted: "Kill them all, kill them all!" Zhao Jue immediately raised his spear and swung it forward, and the army's crossbowmen immediately released arrows. When Tulou and others saw the other party hit them at will, arrows flew towards them, and they immediately panicked. Although these gangsters have lived a life of licking blood, they have never had the experience of fighting against the army. The opponent's every move is a rain of arrows, which is completely different from the fighting in the rivers and lakes. These gangsters suddenly meet, Naturally, I was in a hurry.
The arrows rained down and dozens of people were shot down on the spot. Tulou was shocked and immediately shouted and led his men to retreat into Zhendian.
The officers and soldiers shouted fiercely and chased into Zhendian, but lost track of their opponents. The officers and soldiers couldn't help but stop, not knowing what to do for a moment.
At this moment, a huge roar suddenly came from the surrounding rooftops. The officers and soldiers were startled and quickly looked towards the roof. They saw many men with blue cloth turbans jumping down from the roof while shouting. Under the leadership of Tu Lou, Brother Qingshui Pao rushed into the middle of the officers and soldiers, brandishing his sword and killing them with all his strength. The officers and soldiers were frightened with blood and flesh flying everywhere. After a fierce killing, the officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the rest withdrew from Zhendian in panic. Brother Qingshui Pao got excited and chased him out of Zhendian. Unexpectedly, a hail of arrows flew towards him, and dozens of people were shot down immediately. Brother Qingshui Pao was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated into Zhendian and hid himself.
Zhou Rong saw that his officers and soldiers had an absolute advantage, but they were killed by the opponent and fled back in embarrassment. He was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Fight me! Fight again! Anyone who dares to take a step back will be punished by military law!" The soldiers' hearts trembled.
Zhao Jue said to Zhou Rong: "Sir, although the number of Qingshui Pao brothers is much smaller than ours, they are all highly skilled in martial arts. Due to the terrain restrictions in the town, we can only fight in a melee. Our army is no match for them! Even if we defeat them, I'm afraid they will have to pay a heavy price." A heavy price!"
Zhou Rong frowned and asked, "What good idea do you have?" Zhao Jue pointed to Zhendian and said, "The town is full of wooden houses, and it has been very dry recently, so why not attack with fire?" Zhou Rong's eyes lit up, and then he said He shook his head and said, "No, no, no! When the fire was set off, the bastards were forced out, but the food and grass were also burned! The loss was huge!" Zhao Jue said, "Compared to the loss of soldiers and horses, the food and grass were also burned. What does it matter! As long as we catch Brother Qingshuipao’s men, we can prove the charges against Xuan Fushi. All these losses were caused by him and have nothing to do with you!"
Zhou Rong nodded, "Okay, let's do it!" Tulou was in the town, setting up defenses, and sending people to ask for help from the Xuanfu envoy. Suddenly, the brother in charge of the lookout pointed outside Zhendian and shouted: "The officers and soldiers are taking action!" Tulou immediately went upstairs and looked outside the town, and saw more than a thousand official army archers and crossbowmen spreading out in a half-moon shape, surrounding them Zhendian. Tu Lou couldn't understand what the other party was trying to do, and couldn't help but frown.
Immediately, I saw the army's crossbowmen lighting rockets, bending their bows and setting arrows, all pointing towards the town. Tu Lou's expression changed greatly and he shouted: "No, they are going to attack with fire! Such a bastard!"
Zhao Jue raised his spear and waved forward: "Fire arrows!" The crossbowmen fired arrows together, and thousands of rockets flew towards Zhendian, like a rain of fire. The rain of fire fell into the town, igniting the haystacks, firewood piles, and flags, and many fires broke out. Tulou quickly ordered people to put out the fire.
Tulou and his people worked hard to put out the fire. However, the weather was dry at this time. So many fires were rising together, and new fire rains kept falling. Tulou and the others could save this side, but they could not care about that. They saved the east, but the flames were burning in the west. Big Zhang! Zhou Rong laughed heartily as he looked at the people in the town who were fighting the fire in a panic.
Tu Lou and others tried their best to put out the fire, but the fire became more and more intense and was obviously out of control. Tulou had no choice but to order his men to quickly pack up valuable and important things, abandon Qingshuipu, and flee to the West Bank.
At this time, Yang Peng and others were lurking in the nearby mountains and forests, and everything that happened in Qingshuipu was clearly visible. Yan Ji said: "Brother Qingshui Pao is not simple at all. He actually forced Zhou Rong to resort to such vicious methods." Yang Peng nodded with a smile, and suddenly his expression changed. He saw Tu Lou himself coming from a wooden house. He dragged out a woman in a white dress and a veil. Although she was far away, Yang Peng recognized at a glance that the woman was Luo Yanran, who had just established a relationship with him not long ago. "Yanran?! Why is Yanran here?" Yang Peng asked in shock.
Yan Ji also saw it and felt very strange. Then she became worried, because looking at Luo Yanran's situation, it was obvious that she had been kidnapped. Yan Ji looked at Yang Peng with a questioning look in her eyes. She wanted to see what Yang Peng would do. There are countless men who can talk about love like crucian carp crossing the river. It is really not surprising. However, when it comes to making a choice between huge interests and his own woman, it is rare that he can give up huge interests for a woman. In her life, She has read countless people, but has never seen such a man. She wants to see what kind of man the world-famous King Yan is when it comes to women!
Yang Peng said without thinking: "They are trying to escape across the river. I will lead a team of secret guards across the river to rescue her!"
Yan Ji's eyes flashed with astonishing brilliance, and she said deliberately: "If you do this, won't you disrupt the previous deployment? If they discover the existence of our third party prematurely, they will inevitably become suspicious, and thus It may cause your carefully planned operation to fall short!" Yang Peng said: "I can't control that much now!" He looked at Yan Ji and saw something strange in her eyes. He didn't bother to dig deeper and ordered: "Lead the others to stay in Here, follow the original plan!" Then he said to a secret guard squad leader: "Your people are following me!" Then he hit the horse and ran down the hillside towards the south, followed by a dozen secret guards. Yan Ji stood on the hillside, looking at Yang Peng's retreating figure. She couldn't help but reveal a touching smile and murmured: "Iron-blooded and tenderhearted, such a man only appears in dramas!"
As soon as Yang Peng left, the secret guard in charge of the lookout rushed to Yan Ji and reported: "Miss, the soldiers and horses of the Xuanfu Envoy are here!" Yan Ji immediately climbed up to a high place and looked to the north, and sure enough she saw the north. The dust is rising, and thousands of soldiers and horses are rushing towards this direction. Yan Ji showed an evil smile, "A good show is about to be staged!"
Tulou led a dozen of his cronies, Luo Yanran, his maid, and many gold and silver jewels, and hurriedly boarded a large ship, and then sailed towards the west bank. At this moment, Zhao Jue led a group of officers and soldiers from outside Zhendian and rushed straight towards the port along the river bank. This move was beyond Brother Qingshui Pao's expectation, and the scene was immediately in chaos. The officers and soldiers first used bows and crossbows to sweep away the enemy, and then charged heavily. Brother Qingshui Pao couldn't resist and retreated towards the north of the town. On the boat, Tu Lou watched helplessly as his brothers were killed and their corpses were scattered all over the ground as they fled in embarrassment. He was so angry that he roared: "Go back! Go back!" Everyone was startled, and a leader advised: "Brother, I don’t have to worry about having no firewood to keep the green hills! I just want to die when I go back. If my eldest brother dies, our brother Qingshui Pao will be doomed. Who will avenge the dead brothers in the future!"
Tu Lou calmed down, looked at Zhou Rong who was standing in the distance, and said word for word: "If I, Tu Lou, don't avenge today's blood feud, I will never be a human being!" The ship docked on the west bank. Everyone got off the boat one after another. A young man suddenly pointed at the east bank and shouted excitedly: "They are the soldiers and horses of the Xuanfu Envoy!" Everyone immediately looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough they saw that an army of nearly 10,000 people had arrived nearby. The three characters "Xuanfu Shi" are clearly embroidered on the big flag. Everyone became excited, and Tulou shouted excitedly: "Okay! Lord Xuanfu is here!" Then he said to everyone: "Let's go back!"
"No need!" A man's voice suddenly came from behind. Tulou and others were all shocked, but the two masters and maids, Luo Yanran and Luo Yanran who were controlled by them, were overjoyed. They hurriedly turned their heads and saw Yang Peng leading a dozen people not far away. Luo Yanran was so excited that she shouted: "Brother!" This call was filled with countless emotions!
Yang Peng looked at Luo Yanran, showing a tender look, and said: "Don't be afraid, big brother is here!" Luo Yanran nodded vigorously. In her heart, big brother is the greatest hero in the world. With him here, There is no fear anymore!
"Who are you?" Tulou asked sharply. Yang Peng ignored him and asked Luo Yanran: "Yanran, you haven't suffered any grievances, have you?" Luo Yanran shook her head and said: "Although this good man is rude, he always treats our master and maidservant with courtesy. Wait!" After Yang Peng heard this, the murderous intention in his heart immediately subsided, he looked at Tulou and said: "You saved a life!"
Tulou was furious and shouted: "You are talking nonsense, if you don't want to die, get out of here!" Then his heart moved, he pointed at Yang Peng and said in surprise: "I have seen you! Aren't you the one who came to deliver money and food last night? ?" He frowned, "Why are you here?" He felt something was wrong in his heart, and asked: "Who are you?"
Yang Peng said: "My name is Yang Peng." Tu Lou was stunned and said: "Yang Peng? I remember that King Yan also had this name!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "I am King Yan!" Tu Lou laughed loudly, " If you were King Yan, I would be the Jade Emperor!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "If you don't want to die, just throw away your weapons and surrender!" Tu Lou laughed and said: "Damn it, no one in the world dares to talk to me like that!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "How about you? In this way, let's make a bet and compete with each other. If I win, you will be my subordinate. If I lose, I will let you do whatever you want! How about that?"
Tu Lou looked at Yang Peng with a crazy look, and said angrily: "Boy, I think you are impatient!" Yang Peng said: "Stop talking nonsense, do you dare to bet with me?" Tu Lou said Being provoked by Yang Peng, his head felt hot, and he immediately said loudly: "Okay, I'll bet with you!" He said with a big axe, "Come on!"
Yang Peng got off the horse, held the iron horse in his hand, and said with a smile: "I want you to do it first." Tulou was furious and cursed: "Damn it, you want to die, I will help you!" He yelled and waved his hand. He rushed towards Yang Peng with a big axe, with a ferocious momentum, like an angry black bear. Luo Yanran, the master and the maidservant, couldn't help but scream in surprise when they saw how ferocious he was.
Tu Lou rushed in front of Yang Peng, yelled, picked up the ax with both hands and struck Yang Peng's head straight on the head. The ax blade tore through the air and made wind. It really had the power to split a mountain! Luo Yanran, the master and the maid, both turned their heads away, not daring to look.
Bang! A loud noise shook the whole place. Although Luo Yanran was scared, she couldn't help but turn her head and look. I saw Yang Peng raising his iron horse to hold the opponent's ax that seemed to be able to split a mountain. It was motionless and as solid as a rock. The two women were stunned, and then became extremely excited. Tulou was also shocked. He had never encountered an opponent who could block his full blow head-on. He couldn't help but feel a bit of respect in his heart. Then a fierce fighting spirit surged into his heart and he said loudly: "Okay! I have never encountered an opponent before. An opponent like you! Be careful with your next move!" After saying that, he kicked Yang Peng in the abdomen.
Yang Peng avoided it with a spin, Tu Lou took the opportunity to spin around, and with both hands, the big ax was swung towards Yang Peng from the lower left. The move was extremely tricky. I didn't expect that Tu Lou, a strong and bold man, could actually use it. Such a tricky trick! Tu Lou was very confident in his move and believed that the only way for the opponent to avoid being disemboweled by an axe was to jump backwards. At this moment, Tu Lou suddenly saw a flash of cold light in front of his eyes, and then he saw his opponent's horse spin an incredible circle, and then cut off his right arm at an extremely fast speed. He was shocked because the opponent This move completely blocked his attack route. If he continued to attack forcefully, his arm would be cut off by the opponent's horse before he could attack the opponent's body!
At the critical moment, Tulou didn't have time to think about it carefully. He quickly stopped and tried to use his big ax to sweep towards the opponent without waiting for the move. But he didn't expect that the other party's moves came first, and Ma Shan's blade pointed directly at his chest! Tu Lou was startled and quickly swung his ax to block it. However, the opponent's attack came like the Yangtze River. Tulou resisted with all his strength and had no time to counterattack! I was horrified to the extreme: Who is this person and why is he so powerful! ?
Tu Lou's men were pale, and they were all dumbfounded; Yun'er's eyes showed obsession, and her master Luo Yanran was intoxicated, with that vigorous and brave figure in her eyes and in her heart.
Yang Peng attacked with lightning speed for more than thirty moves, Tu Lou defended for more than thirty moves, but was unable to counterattack with a single move. At this time, he was sweating profusely and his face was pale.
Yang Peng suddenly withdrew his horse, and Tu Lou suddenly felt the huge pressure in front of him leave. He couldn't help but collapse, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down. Fortunately, he used the big ax to support his body in time, so he didn't make a fool of himself on the spot. . He looked up at Yang Peng and shouted forcefully: "Why stop? We haven't decided the winner yet!"
Yang Peng said: "It is very rare that you can block more than thirty moves of mine without losing. There are not many people in the world who can do this!" When he said this, Yang Peng's eyes showed appreciation.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
