Zhou Zhiruo, who has practiced Nine Yins, is already a rare master in the Yuanhua Realm. With Yang Qingyuan's guidance on his swordsmanship and fists, his combat power is already close to that of Ye Jianhan, who first entered Dali Temple.
Within twenty moves, Matsuura Zhongjian was subdued by Zhou Zhiruo.
Now the pressure is on Lin Xuemin's side.
Although she was blessed by heaven and earth and transformed into one day, Lin Xuemin was still very unfamiliar with martial arts moves.
Yang Qingyuan passed down Luoxia Liuzhu Sword and Huifengwu Liujian.
Use water to moisten wood, and use wood to help fire.
Although his swordsmanship is unfamiliar, with the light kung fu taught by Yang Qingyuan, he can withstand Echizen Kitajiro's fast attack for a while!
At this moment, Echizen Kitajiro was also in trouble. The woman in front of him was unfamiliar with her moves. At first glance, she was a newcomer who had just started practicing martial arts.
But her true energy was extremely pure, far superior to her own.
These are not problems. If he really wants to kill Lin Xuemin, Echizen Kitajiro can rely on his rich combat experience to trade injuries for lives, and he is quite sure.
But Yang Qingyuan, who was treating and bandaging on the side, made him very afraid.
The scene where Yang Qingyuan instantly killed more than eighty warriors just now kept replaying in his mind.
If Yang Qingyuan takes action, how long can he hold on? !
Therefore, Echizen Kitajiro was not concentrating on fighting the enemy at this moment, but had been thinking about how to escape?
He is a famous warrior in Japan and a master of Yuanhua Realm. No matter which famous family he joins, he will receive considerable courtesy and preferential treatment. He must not waste his useful life here! !
On the other side, Yang Qingyuan has almost finished bandaging! Echizen Kitajiro knew that once he took his hand out, he would have no chance to escape! We must fight to the death!
The determined Echizen Kitajiro kept adjusting his position during the fight with Lin Xuemin. At the moment when his back was to the sun, Echizen Kitajiro took action, his figure jumped up, and his Japanese sword was raised high.
"Sun Slash!"
The blade of the Japanese sword seemed to absorb the light of the rising sun, and it was so dazzling that Lin Xuemin turned her face away for a moment.
Yang Qingyuan on the side looked weird! ! !
This person from the island who lived a good life as a child, do you know a friend with three eyes who can do Sun Boxing?
Although the idea was weird, Yang Qingyuan's hands were not idle, and an innate invisible sword energy shot out of the air.
The Japanese sword that Echizen Kitajiro chopped off was broken into two pieces, and all the efforts were in vain!
"If you surrender now, I will spare your life!" Yang Qingyuan stood up and said calmly after bandaging the last wounded person.
"Zheng!"
Echizen Kitajiro immediately threw away half of the katana in his hand, as if it was a deadly poisonous snake, and hurriedly threw it away.
Yang Qingyuan: "..."
What about the promised bushido? ! Did you agree that you would rather die than surrender? ! This is the vote! ?
"Kneel down and be bound!"
Echizen Kitajiro knelt on the ground obediently.
At this moment, the Great Zhou Dynasty was a celestial kingdom for Japan, and the legal system of the ruler of Japan also came from the canonization of the former Tang Dynasty.
So Matsuura Takanobu was thinking of such a play, hoping to get the canonization and support of Dazhou.
Therefore, Echizen Kitajiro did not have the slightest psychological pressure on the Dongxuan realm masters who surrendered to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If he can get the opportunity to serve the powerful people of the Celestial Kingdom, that would be his blessing for Echizen Kitajiro!
"Yaga! Echizen, you weakling! How could you betray the master of the family!" Matsuura Tadayake who was standing by saw the look of Echizen Kitajiro and couldn't help but cursed!
But Echizen Kitajiro doesn't care. Now everyone is a prisoner. You were captured before me. What can you do to be arrogant? !
He also acted like a dog to the Matsuura clan, and he also acted like a dog to Dazhou, so why not be a dog to Dazhou? ! How many Japanese warriors wanted to be dogs for the Zhou Dynasty but never had a chance!
Japanese people absolutely admire the strong in their bones. When you are strong enough, they will only bow to you.
And Yang Qingyuan's strength and the majesty of the Zhou Dynasty were already strong enough.
Looking at Echizen Kitajiro who was kneeling obediently and being bound, Yang Qingyuan planted an innate invisible sword energy in his body.
After Wang Hua comforted his servant, he came to the door of the delivery room.
"Master! It's a young master!" Po Wen came out holding a swaddle, including a newborn baby!
After narrowly escaping death today, the baby was delivered safely. Wang Hua, who was always known for his calmness, was very excited at this moment and took the baby with trembling hands.
This is my own bloodline!
The baby being held did not cry or fuss, and was extremely well-behaved.
Just as Wang Hua was holding him, the white puppy staggered to Wang Hua's feet and kept wagging its tail towards Wang Hua, no, it should be towards the swaddled baby.
When the servants were about to drive away, they were stopped by Yang Qingyuan.
"Brother Dehui, can you let me hug you too!"
Wang Hua smiled and said, "It's natural. You are his uncle, and you saved this little guy's life today! In your words, I have to let him kowtow to you."
Yang Qingyuan carefully took the baby from Wang Hua's hand. The child, who had not cried or fussed just now, smiled the moment he saw Yang Qingyuan!
Yes! This newborn child seemed to be able to see Yang Qingyuan, as if he knew that Yang Qingyuan saved their family, and actually smiled at Yang Qingyuan!
At this time, the puppy just rubbed Yang Qingyuan on the ground, and Yang Qingyuan leaned down.
When Gouzi saw the baby in Yang Qingyuan's arms, his tail became even happier!
The dog seemed to be psychic, and Yang Qingyuan Daotong could even see the auspicious aura flowing around the dog.
This is no ordinary dog!
It is recorded in ancient books that when a saint is born, a unicorn will accompany him.
But it would be too perfunctory for you to get a dog! !
However, for the sake of this dog's spirituality, Yang Qingyuan still said, "Brother Dehui, this dog is destined to this child! Why not let him stay in the house!"
Wang Hua remembered Yang Qingyuan's other profession, Taoist priest!
Yang Qingyuan was born in Wudang Mountain and was Zhang Sanfeng's younger brother. He would rather believe it than not, so he agreed.
"Brother Dehui, have you thought of this child's name yet!?"
Now comes the exciting naming session!
"We have discussed it. When his mother was pregnant with him, she dreamed of a god dressed in scarlet jade, and the clouds encouraged her to hold a baby boy in her arms, and he fell from the sky. His nickname would be 'Yun'! But he never thought about the name."
Wang Hua saw Yang Qingyuan holding Wang Yun in his arms, "Qingyuan has always been the best among my classmates in terms of poetry, why don't Qingyuan come and give Yun'er a name?!"
"..."
Yang Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, so it’s up to me to choose this name? !
After thinking for a moment, Yang Qingyuan said, "Xun Sheng of the pre-Qin Dynasty once said: Only benevolence is to be guarded, and righteousness is to be acted upon. Sincere benevolence is the form, the form is the spirit, and the spirit can be transformed. Why not...just call him Shouren. !”
"Shouren, Shouren!" Wang Hua recited the name twice, "Wonderful! Confucius once said in the Analects of Confucius: When you know something, benevolence cannot keep it. Even if you gain it, you will lose it! "
"Okay!" Wang Hua clapped his hands! Then he made a decision, "From today on, your name will be Wang Shouren!"
The baby's face showed a smile again. He was very satisfied with the name!
After hugging the future saint for a while, Yang Qingyuan had enough of it, returned the little Shouren to Wang Hua, and then came to Echizen Kitajiro.
"Who are you?!"
"We are Matsuura Takanobu's men!"
Echizen Kitajiro learned the Daizhou Mandarin quite well. As the closest Japanese daimyo to the Daizhou, the culture of the Daizhou was one of the compulsory subjects for the Matsuura Domain.
"Matsuura Takanobu..." Yang Qingyuan muttered. He knew this person. He was a Japanese pirate who was entrenched in the area of Mashima, Iki Island, and Hirado Island.
He often invaded Goryeo and even colluded with several big Japanese pirates in the East China Sea.
"Aren't you the one who has been entrenched in Beihai?! Why did you come to Yuezhou, and why did you attack Wang's house!"
"We came in the name of the Matsuura family head to arrest Mr. Wang!"
"Arrest?!"
At the moment when Yang Qingyuan was confused, Echizen Kitajiro showed a strong desire to survive.
"It's not an arrest, it's an invitation! Matsuura Takanobu wants to invite Mr. Wang as a guest!"
"Go on, tell as much as you know!"
Why would Matsuura Takanobu want to arrest Wang Hua? This makes no sense at all! The two have nothing to do with each other at all!
"That's right! About half a month ago, a man came to meet Matsuura Takanobu and wanted to make a deal with Matsuura Takanobu!"
Yang Qingyuan nodded and motioned for Echizen Kitajiro to continue.
"They paid a huge price to ask Matsuura Takanobu to kill someone... Oh, it's this extraordinary Mr. Wang!"
"What's the price?!"
"Three hundred thousand taels of silver, three precious secret books, three thousand iron swords, beautiful women's jewelry, etc..."
Yang Qingyuan looked at Wang Hua, "Brother Dehui, who did you offend again? Such a big deal?! Directly colluded with the Japanese pirates to kill you!?"
Wang Hua handed the infant Wang Shouren to Po Wen, walked to Yang Qingyuan, and thought about it carefully.
"It can't be the prince!"
When Yang Qingyuan thought about it, it was really possible!
The conflict that broke out between the First and Third Sects and the Crown Prince that day was well known to everyone in the court. At this moment, there was almost no room for relaxation between the two parties, so the Crown Prince must have wanted to get rid of the people from the First and Third Sects.
Yang Qingyuan continued to interrogate, "Do you know who came to attack Takanobu Matsuura?!"
"This is a group of samurai ronin coming, ah! Bah! It's the leader of a group of Japanese pirates who do all kinds of evil."
Echizen Kitajiro changed his role very quickly, and he was undoubtedly a Japanese traitor!
"It is said that a Yangzhou businessman asked him to come!"
When Yangzhou businessmen were mentioned, Yang Qingyuan knew that he might have caused this incident, and couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment.
"What happened to Qingyuan!?"
Wang Hua also felt the obvious embarrassing temperament in Yang Qingyuan.
Yang Qingyuan succinctly informed Wang Hua of what happened in Yangzhou via voice transmission.
"I originally asked Brother Dehui to use this matter as a breakthrough to open up a situation in Yangzhou, but unexpectedly it brought such trouble to Brother Dehui."
Yang Qingyuan really didn't expect that Yangzhou's wealthy businessmen would directly attack Wang Hua.
This is an implicit rule in the world of Dazhou. Various killer organizations are not allowed to attack officials of Dazhou.
Those who dare to kill officials are mentally prepared. Either they put life and death aside, or they make plans to go into the wild mountains and forests after the killing and stay there for three to five years, isolated from the world. of!
As long as anyone with an organized and large-scale organization does not want to become the mortal enemy of the imperial court, they will not take action against an official of the imperial court, let alone a fourth-grade official!
And Wang Hua was protected by the Yuanhua Realm, so Yang Qingyuan never thought that anyone would directly attack Wang Hua, let alone hundreds of people.
"Qingyuan, how can I blame you for this?! I just didn't expect these people to have the courage to collude with Japanese pirates to rob and kill imperial officials!"
After Wang Hua finished speaking, he asked, "Are these people here?!"
"We have a total of eight hundred people, divided into two groups. One group is led by me and a hundred people... invite Mr. Wang, and the other group is led by Matsuura Takanobu's second son Matsuura Ergoro with 700 people to capture Yaozhou County. !”
Yang Qingyuan's face darkened when he heard this, "The capture of Yaozhou County was also requested by that group of people!?"
"no!"
Echizen Kitajiro has made up his mind to join Da Zhou, so he will no longer hide anything!
"This is Matsuura Takanobu's plan. Matsuura Takanobu is a treacherous person. Although he accepted the commission, he had other ideas in mind. He wanted to capture Yaozhou County, kidnap Lord Wang, shock the court, and then pretend to rescue Wang. Your Excellency, destroy this group of Japanese pirates to gain the support of the imperial court!"
After hearing Matsuura Takanobu's plan, Wang Hua narrowed his eyes and said sternly, "This thief must be punished with his heart!"
Although there were many loopholes in this plan, it was difficult for the court to find any evidence. The only witnesses were the group of Yangzhou wealthy businessmen, but they were not directly in contact with the Matsuura clan.
At that time, Matsuura Takanobu will definitely be given a reward, and he will use the lives of the people of Dazhou to claim credit from Dazhou!
Matsuura Takanobu is really good at planning!
"Matsuura Ergoro also wanted to make the matter bigger. After conquering Yaozhou County, he massacred the whole city. He said that the more people he killed this time, the bigger the noise would be. At that time, the imperial court's reward to the Matsuura clan would also be The more!”
Upon hearing this, Yang Qingyuan and Wang Hua's expressions turned pale.
But I have to admit that what Matsuura Ergoro said is correct, and the main focus of the Great Zhou Dynasty is on the northern and western regions, and his control over Japan is not that strong. Honglu Temple, who is responsible for diplomacy, is just a person. There is a real chance that Matsuura Takanobu will take advantage of you if you are just showing off!
"Brother Dehui, I need to rush to Yaozhou County immediately."
Wang Hua also knew that Yang Qingyuan was not familiar with geography, so he said, "Do you need me to find a guide for you?!"
"No need! The guide can't keep up with my speed!"
"Then you go south along the main road in the town. After seeing the official road, go east for thirty miles and you will see Yaozhou County!"
"good!"
Before leaving, Yang Qingyuan pointed at a rock on the side, and the original rockery exploded and turned into powder.
"You saw it! I also planted a sword energy in your body. If you dare to have any different intentions, you will end up exactly the same as that Taihu rockery stone!"
Echizen Kitajiro glanced at the Taihu Stone that had turned into powder, then felt the faint tingling sensation in his meridians, and threw himself to the ground to show his surrender!
Yang Qingyuan's figure disappeared from the spot.
Only one sentence came from the breeze.
"Zhiruo, Minmin, protect Mr. Wang!"
--------------------------
Northern Territory.
At the Tiance Army station, a man in silver armor was looking at the sand table in the middle of the military tent and analyzing the battle situation.
This person is none other than the Commander-in-Chief of the Tiance Army, Li Chengen!
Li Chengen was a general of the third rank of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His ancestor was Li Ji (jì), the British Duke of the former Tang Dynasty. He came from a family of generals. King Qiyang once praised him for being good at strategy and scheming. He had the style of his ancestors and was the leading general in active service in the Great Zhou Dynasty. general. But at this moment, Li Chengen frowned.
In these days, Daqian is still harassing Luke and Dunk. Shatuo, who has surrendered to Daqian, has started fighting with Dunk and Luke head-on. The two sides have fought with real fire and fought three medium-sized battles. .
Shatuo's military strength is still higher than that of Luke and Dunk, but because of the support of Dazhou, Dunk and Luke can not lose in the battle.
Three days ago, Li Chengen officially declared war on Shatuo on behalf of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Tiance's cavalry troops were divided into four groups and surrounded Shatuo's main force from the flanks.
The 50,000 elite troops led by Qin Yiyan, the deputy commander of the Tiance Army, pushed forward the front line and set up camp to guard against Daqian's sneak attack.
The Tiance Army is the strongest army in the world, and among the twelve guards of the Great Six Army, its combat power can only be matched by the Shenwu Army guarding the southwest.
In just three days, the main force of the Shatuo tribe was defeated by the Tiance cavalry led by Yang Ning.
The leader of the Shatuo tribe led the remnants of his tribe to flee into the main city of the Shatuo tribe, and were subsequently surrounded by Tiance's cavalry.
But under this situation, Daqian still stood still, and the two sides continued to confront each other on the east side of Cangyun Pass, which puzzled Li Chengen.
What exactly does Da Gan want to do? !
It was Dagan who was the first to provoke and instruct his Shatuo tribe to attack Luke and Dunk, but now he has disappeared.
The more this happened, the more Li Chengen became wary. The man leading the troops opposite him was a Mongolian general. Liang Wang Chahan Timur, who had fought against the Qiyang King, was a famous general in Daqian.
If he leads the army this time, it shouldn't be such an anticlimax. What conspiracy is Da Gan brewing? !
Li Chengen's thoughts kept jumping with the candlelight in the tent.
----------
On the northern battlefield.
"kill!"
A green spear penetrated the chest of the last Dagan Ranger.
The young man rode the white horse and drew out his spear, "Let's go! Continue!"
"Vice General Yang, this is the fifth wave of Yuanmeng Rangers we have dealt with!"
In more than half a year, Yang Guo was promoted from a captain to a deputy general. With his Yuanhua realm martial arts, he joined the Tiance Army and became a captain.
During this period of time, he fought against Yuanmeng's cavalry many times on the border, killing 213 enemy troops and 19 Daqian officers, and was promoted to deputy general for his merit.
The experience in the military made Yang Guo completely reborn, becoming more masculine and heroic, and his marksmanship also improved by leaps and bounds. The few moves he just made were clean and neat, without any sloppiness!
Now he leads 800 cavalrymen and is responsible for patrolling around Qin Yiyan, protecting the camp while collecting intelligence on the main force of the army.
"Clean the battlefield!"
Yang Guo looked at the corpses on the ground and was puzzled. They had already left Qin Yiyan's camp for hundreds of miles, but they still kept encountering small groups of Yuanmeng cavalry.
The battle between the two sides was centered on the three divisions of Luke, Dunk, and Shatuo. The main forces of the Tiance Army and Daqian were located behind Luke, Dunk, and Shatuo respectively.
But now, Yuan Meng's rangers frequently appeared west of the battle zone, and his keen sense of battlefield reminded Yang Guo that things were not simple.
But what is there to the west? ! Looking at the map in his hand, Yang Guo fell into deep thought.
