Chapter Seventy-five: Longtan and Tiger's Den
Li Feiyun's face darkened, and he was filled with tangled emotions at the moment. He finally couldn't help but asked Mu Jian: "Fifth brother, why do you still keep her on the ship? Don't you think I'm unlucky enough, brother?" Mu Jian replied: "She Although she has merit, she is a member of the Demon Cult after all. If she is released, she is afraid of causing trouble. If she is killed, she is also afraid of going to the peak to blame her. So I have no choice but to lock her up and hand it over to Song Zhong to save her from embarrassment to you again. ." Li Feiyun couldn't help but shook his head after hearing this, and remained silent for a while.
After Chu Jianghan said goodbye, he had been thinking about Li Feiyun, and seeing that he was so upset by Shang Fengyi, he could only hold back for a while and not talk to him. On the contrary, Tan Daojing ignored these mundane things and kept chatting with them.
Tan Daojing was at a loss for words, so he led several people to talk about the coming of the White Tiger Army. Mu Jian sighed: "This time, Fourth Brother and I, Song Zhong, received the emperor's order to destroy the demon sect. Although we invited masters from all over the world and led the Jin Yiwei and the elites of the six sects, we can't compare to the tens of thousands of people." When the White Tiger Army comes, there is a huge disparity in strength. To destroy the White Tiger Army, we must eventually fight at sea. Although we and others are proficient in martial arts, we are no match for them on this vast expanse of waves."
Tan Daojing also said: "Yes, the White Tiger Army has been active at sea all year round. Not only are they proficient in water skills, but they are also equipped with strong ships and weapons. They must have been trained by capable people. We are not familiar with naval warfare, and we do not have strong ships and cannons, and we do not have strong ships or cannons to arrange troops. The formations and command and dispatch cannot keep up, so it will not be easy to eliminate them."
Mu Jian said: "A few years ago, on the southeastern coast, there was a Wang Zhi who called himself King Hui. He colluded with Japanese pirates to dominate the sea, and was later wiped out by the court. Although he was destroyed, his descendants were not punished. In recent years, They are still colluding with Japanese pirates and constantly harassing the people along our coast. If we do not handle it properly, and if we force the White Tiger Army into rogue pirates and merge with Wang Zhi's descendants, then our southeastern half of the Ming Dynasty will never have peace."
Tan Daojing said: "Yes! If we don't handle it properly, we will be the enemy of the common people."
They all spoke with concern for the common people. Chu Jianghan also knew that although the brothers had their own livelihoods, they were all men and husbands with the world in mind. After thinking about it, he felt that the recent experiences were really ridiculous compared to what everyone had planned and done. To the extreme, I have already made up my mind to help everyone achieve this. He said, "Although I stayed on Paradise Island for a few days, I only practiced Qi and martial arts all day long. In addition, the White Lotus Sect deliberately took precautions. I really don't know where the White Tiger Army is hiding."
Mu Jian and others knew that what he said was true, and they frowned for a while. Chu Jianghan said: "Although I don't know, the leaders of the White Lotus Sect must know."
Mu Jian sneered a few times and said: "The Jin Yiwei and the six men under me have been interrogated overnight, and none of the thieves have told anything." Tan Daojing also said: "Even if we pry open their mouths, it will be of no avail. To We know that if the tens of thousands of tigers and wolves are not eliminated, there will be no peace in one day. I am afraid that something will happen before the results of the trial are announced."
Chu Jianghan smiled and said: "Those who know the whereabouts of the White Tiger Army are far away and right in front of us." He pointed at Li Feiyun.
Li Feiyun's face turned red with anger and he stamped his feet: "Brother, why do you have to embarrass me again?"
Mu Jian and Tan Daojing immediately understood and couldn't help but turn around and look into the cabin.
Li Feiyun only hid back and stammered: "Fifth brother...this...this...can't be done!"
Mu Jian said: "Xian brother, you have to think clearly. If the news is lost, the White Tiger Army will rebel and kill people and set fires. It will be extremely difficult for the imperial court to send troops to quell the rebellion. One after another, everyone will suffer. But they are all common people. Those of us who practice martial arts should consider the common people. Not to mention, dear brother, you have read poetry and books, and you know that saints have the teachings of killing one's life to achieve benevolence. Now, dear brother, it doesn't matter if you suffer some grievances. The worst that can happen is that you will feel guilty and uneasy about yourself in the future, it is better than waiting for a mutiny and bleeding people to death, right?"
These few words were spoken with great aura. Li Feiyun couldn't help but nod, sighed, gritted his teeth and stepped into the cabin.
Mu Jian sighed: "Jinyiwei Song Zhong made a plan to send a letter to Shang Fengyi under the guise of his sixth brother, asking her to secretly inform her about the events inside and outside Paradise Island, and promised her to get married after the completion of the matter. Unexpectedly, this plan actually came true. . It’s just that this matter is somewhat unethical. The sixth brother is already arrogant and arrogant, so it really makes things difficult for him.”
Tan Daojing said: "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. They can't help but obey authority in emergencies. Small ways don't seem to be harmful."
Chu Jianghan snorted: "This temptress is obsessed with lust and betrays her teachers and friends. She is definitely not a good thing! She is responsible for all this. Brother, don't worry about it."
After hearing this, Mu Jian let out a long sigh. The three of them all had their own thoughts and looked at the vast ocean in silence for a long time.
After a while, Li Feiyun walked out with his head lowered, and Mu Jian said softly: "It's done?" Li Feiyun also nodded and sighed, "It's done! If you just coax a prostitute like this, you won't be able to be a man in this life."
Tan Daojing said: "We have found the place where the army is hiding, but we still need to think long and hard about how to defeat the enemy."
Li Feiyun took a long breath, regained his former vigor, straightened his clothes and said: "Although the number of people farming and hunting in this area is said to be tens of thousands, it is nothing to worry about. Although Li is not talented, he can be called upon with just a few clicks." They were wiped out."
Mu Jian said: "Sixth brother, this is a serious matter, no joke!" Chu Jianghan always knew that Li Feiyun was resourceful, but he didn't quite believe it at this moment.
Li Feiyun replied: "Don't worry, I have my own plans."
After a brief discussion, they ordered everyone to set up a boat and report to Song Zhong. Li Feiyun, together with Mu Jian, Tan Daojing, and Chu Jianghan, took Shang Fengyi in a small boat and sailed towards the White Tiger Army's hiding place.
At night, the five people came to an island.
After getting off the boat, Shang Fengyi led the way, followed closely by the four people, not daring to be careless. Mujian and Tan Daojing were afraid of Shang Fengyi's tricks, so they silently held their weapons, ready to react at any time. Chu Jianghan didn't have a city, Li Feiyun was full of confidence, and the two of them were much more calm.
Li Feiyun said: "Don't be too nervous, please relax." He changed his tone and said to Shang Fengyi: "Miss Shang, we don't need to report. We will go directly to find the leader."
Shang Fengyi smiled sinisterly and said: "What's wrong with a girl? We are already married." Li Feiyun was speechless and only coughed.
Mu Jian was afraid that Shang Fengyi would come here, so he hurriedly said: "Business matters are important, we must not be careless." Shang Fengyi smiled and said: "Even if my husband said it, I will do it." After saying that, he stepped forward quickly. , even using Qinggong to get ahead of her, Mu Jian was afraid that she would escape, so he also rushed to follow, followed by Tan Daojing, Chu Jianghan and Li Feiyun followed at the end, the five of them went straight to the center of the island.
Seeing the brightly lit place in the distance, Shang Fengyi stopped, turned around and said to everyone: "The place where we land on the island is on the back side. There are usually people to guard it, but as the leader of the Suzaku Hall, the White Tiger Army's garrison situation is natural You know, now we have bypassed the first level of hidden sentry." He pointed forward and said: "The front is the second level of defense, in which the hidden sentry is ambushing and the formation of the mechanism is unknown to me."
Li Feiyun asked: "As one of the four hall masters, don't you know the second level of defense?" Shang Fengyi replied seriously: "After this second level of defense is the Chinese army's tent. After that is where the ship is parked, so this second level of defense is the most important. Apart from General Baihu, who is in charge of the central army, only Shangguan Xiongyi, the leader of the White Tiger Hall, knows about each situation. Even I, the leader of the Suzaku Hall, and Xu Daozi, the master of Xuanwu Hall, doesn’t know either.”
After hearing this, Li Feiyun muttered: "It's strange, but what kind of method is this to set up a camp..."
Tan Daojing whispered: "If there are experts coming from behind the island, this first layer of defense will basically be useless. The second layer of defense is closely connected to the Chinese army's tent. Once an emergency occurs, the secret sentry master can resist it for a while. The formation trap can also be resisted for a while. In this way, the commander of the army can respond immediately and command the ships near the sea to sail towards the vast sea, such as..."
Although Chu Jianghan didn't know how to arrange troops and set up camps, he seemed to have understood it. He said: "If we attack from the front, we will have a fleet of ships in front to meet the enemy. The ships can change at will on the vast ocean." There is nothing to be afraid of in terms of formation. In addition, there are mountains and rocks on both sides. No flesh and blood can break in. The Chinese army can also evacuate from behind." Afterwards, he turned to Li Feiyun and asked, "I don't know if what I said is right or not. ?”
Li Feiyun looked solemn and nodded without saying a word.
Mu Jian said: "For the current plan, the only way is to break in." Li Feiyun continued: "Yes. It doesn't matter even if he is discovered." Chu Jianghan and Tan Daojing were not able to fully understand the meaning behind his words for a while, and they had doubts in their hearts and were waiting to ask questions. Li Feiyun has walked forward with his head held high.
Mu Jian and Chu Jianghan were afraid that he would make a mistake, so they rushed to follow him. Shang Fengyi chuckled and followed. Tan Daojing held the sword in his hand and looked around but there was no movement before following him.
A few people practiced for a while, but they still didn't see any secret whistle masters, nor did they notice any mechanism formations. Chu Jianghan felt a little more relaxed, but Shang Fengyi couldn't help but look around. Tan Daojing was afraid that she was cheating, so he held the sword in his hand. , still keep an eye out for her.
Suddenly he heard a gust of dark wind on the left, and the wooden sword ducked to block Li Feiyun's side. He couldn't see clearly in the darkness. He quickly put up his stance and struck with both palms, using all his strength to strike. The blow felt extremely hard, and his body couldn't help but swayed, and he was actually knocked back two or three steps.
Everyone was shocked by this sudden blow. Mu Jian had already taken the weapon in his hand and whispered: "There is an ambush, be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard another whirring sound on his right side. Chu Jianghan also dodged and blocked Li Feiyun's right side. He stretched out his palms and struck with all his strength with the "Flying Sand and Stone" move. He was shocked to the point where he could not stand still. , almost fell to the ground.
Just when he stood firm, a huge force came again. Chu Jianghan couldn't help but get angry. He raised his left arm and struck out with his palm, and struck with another "out of nowhere" move. He turned around and drew out the Zhenyue Sword from his back. A sword energy had already struck it. go out.
There was a flash of golden light, followed by a "ding" sound of gold and iron, and a man groaned and fell to the ground.
A thin voice shouted: "Who dares to break in here?"
Li Feiyun also asked loudly: "Who are you, dare to block our driving?"
Suddenly, someone lit a torch in front of their eyes, and everyone was astonished when they were surrounded by people.
The leader also seemed surprised and asked again: "Who are you? How can you do this?"
Li Feiyun took a step forward, clasped his hands behind his back and said loudly: "You deserve to know? Go and ask your people in charge to come out and speak!" The man smiled and said: "I am waiting for the garrison here, but you are the first to break in. Amazing, amazing!”
I only heard the man shouting: "Brothers, capture him alive and go to the general." Another person shouted: "Look carefully at the magic weapon in the opponent's hand."
Sweeping the wooden sword ring, I saw that there were eighteen people on the opponent. With just one move, I knew the opponent's strength and I really didn't dare to underestimate them.
Chu Jianghan said in a low voice: "These guys are very good, everyone, please pay attention."
The leader let out a strange roar, and the other seventeen abandoned their torches and spread out, instantly forming their formation.
The surrounding area instantly turned black, and even though everyone had profound skills, their hearing and vision were greatly affected. Tan Daojing secretly screamed, and said in a deep voice: "Careful sneak attack!"
The three of them drew their swords and surrounded Li Feiyun and Shang Fengyi.
Mu Jian said: "Everyone, be careful and listen to my greetings." Chu Jianghan and Tan Daojing knew that he had been through such battles for a long time and his coping methods must be better than theirs, so they agreed in unison.
There was another strange roar, and everyone got the order, roaring like hungry wolves everywhere, which was disgusting.
Chu Jianghan raised his sword and stabbed, but when he saw sparks flashing but not piercing, he couldn't help but screamed: "Good guy, what kind of weapon is it? It's comparable to a demon-binding lock!"
"It's a shield!" The wooden sword failed to cut it with one blow, but he raised his arm again and smashed it to pieces with one palm strike.
Tan Daojing understood and shouted in a deep voice: "Haha, use your sword to make a cut, and then use your palm to crush it!"
Chu Jianghan understood what he said, shouted loudly, and struck the shield that had just been stabbed. He only heard a wailing sound, the shield in one person's hand shattered, and the person was knocked to the ground.
Seeing two of his companions fall down, the leader shouted: "No!" and then shouted: "Change the formation!"
Fifteen people responded in unison, their feet changed, and they changed into a strange formation.
As soon as the formation changed, everyone immediately felt something was wrong. The remaining sixteen people stood shoulder to shoulder and made a circle with their shields, surrounding Mu Jian and the other five people in the center of the circle. Mu Jian, Chu and Tan raised their swords to attack, but the opponent immediately avoided them with their strange movements. When the three returned their swords to attack the other person, the one they had previously avoided returned to their original position. This was repeated many times. But he can no longer hurt the other party at all.
Chu Jianghan became angry and shouted: "Master Tan, what kind of bird formation is this? Do you know how to break the formation?" Tan Daojing shook his head and said: "How shameful! Xiaodao usually specializes in Qimen formation, but today he can't I don’t know how to recognize it, let alone how to crack it.”
Mu Jian said anxiously: "It's a hard fight!" Chu Jianghan heard this and raised his sword to stab again. After fifty or sixty moves with all his strength, he still didn't get any advantage.
Mu Jian and Tan Daojing were both experienced. On the one hand, they had to deal with the formation, and on the other hand, they were afraid that Shang Fengyi behind them would take the opportunity to cause trouble. They were distracted when they secretly paid attention to it. In addition, the formation was really weird, so they combined the power of the three masters to create a There is nothing that time can do.
Li Feiyun was guarded by three people, paying attention to Shang Fengyi's every move. Seeing that she never said a word, he cursed secretly: "What a thief, you are deliberately trying to embarrass our brother."
Even though the three of them fought so hard, they didn't gain any advantage at all. Li Feiyun was afraid of having a long night and dreaming too much, so he shouted loudly: "Master Shang Fengyi of Zhuque Hall is here, why don't you guys give up?"
The other party was shocked when they heard this, and they stopped. The leader gave another order, and everyone put away their weapons and lit torches, but the formation did not disperse.
The leader cupped his fists and said, "If you have any questions, Hall Master Shang, please give me your instructions directly." Shang Fengyi smiled softly at Li Feiyun, stepped forward and said, "Look carefully, whether I am real or fake."
As expected, the leader came forward, took a closer look, turned over and bowed down, and said, "Wu He, the deputy general of the White Tiger Army, is here to see the Master of Suzaku Hall." Shang Fengyi said coldly: "Get up!"
Wu He stood up and stood sideways. Shang Fengyi took the first step and moved forward, but the people in formation did not move at all.
Mu Jian's heart tightened when he saw this, and he thought to himself: "Is it possible that the news was leaked and that we already knew about the great changes on the island?" With a glance, Tan Daojing and Li Feiyun also frowned, obviously thinking the same thing.
"If they already know the truth, they will not give up and have to fight hard as a last resort. However, these people have profound skills and this formation is extremely weird. For the current plan, the only way is to strike first and kill the leader with one sword. , this formation will be easy to deal with." He thought again and again, secretly holding the hilt of his sword, ready to attack the leader Wu He at any time.
Shang Fengyi said angrily: "What? Since you recognize me, do you dare to stop me?" Wu He replied: "I don't dare, I just don't know why Hall Master Shang is here late at night? Do you want me to go and inform General Baihu to come and pick me up?" drive?"
Shang Fengyi nodded and said: "Well, that's right! It's really rare to be able to be as cautious as a servant even though you hold an important position!" Li Feiyun said, "Hall Master Shang came here late at night, naturally for confidential matters. As for not announcing it in advance, I came from behind the island again to see the defense and adaptability of the White Tiger Army."
Wu He listened without saying a word, but his feet remained still. Shang Fengyi feigned anger and said, "What? Does General Wu have any other instructions?"
When Wu He heard this, he immediately turned over and bowed down, saying: "I don't dare to die! It's just..." Shang Fengyi asked in a deep voice: "Just what?" Wu He replied: "I'm just a little blind, I don't know these people The master is...?"
Li Feiyun laughed loudly, stepped forward and said, "I would like to introduce you to Wu Jiangjun." He pointed at Tan Daojing and said, "This is Taoist Master Tan Daojing, who was born in Quanzhen." When everyone heard the name of Quanzhen sect, they were all surprised.
Li Feiyun pointed at the wooden sword again and said: "This is the famous wooden sword hunter all over the world." When everyone heard the name of the wooden sword, they all screamed, and some of them drew their weapons again.
Mu Jian and others did not expect that Li Feiyun would tell the truth about their origins, and they were also shocked.
Li Feiyun pointed at Chu Jianghan again and said: "This young hero Chu is even more remarkable. He is the disciple of Master Shang when he was in seclusion. He has acquired all the true martial arts skills. He fought bloody battles in Shaolin since the leader came out of seclusion, and then went south to protect him. , the whole journey was all thanks to this young hero Chu, even the leader of the church had to call out 'Brother Chu'! Right?" After saying this, he burst out laughing, showing his flattery.
Everyone was even more shocked when they heard this. Wu He took a breath, obviously he recognized Chu Jianghan.
Li Feiyun laughed and then cupped his hands and said, "I am Li Feiyun, and all my friends in the world call me Jade Xiaojian."
Wu He stood up straight and did not dare to move rashly. He only cupped his fists and saluted, saying: "I have long admired the three great names."
Li Feiyun suppressed his smile and said: "General Wu, there is no need to be suspicious. The three of us came to help Master Shang Fengyi to conspire with each other in response to the order of Master Shang." Tan Daojing understood in his heart and pretended to be angry: " Grandma’s talent, do you really want to try Master Dao’s methods?”
Shang Fengyi shouted: "How dare you! These are all the guests of the leader. Even I have to give you three points of respect. How dare you be rude?" Wu He hurriedly said, "Don't dare."
Shang Fengyi snorted and said: "The leader has important secrets for the White Tiger Army, why don't you lead the way?"
After hearing this, Wu He quickly asked someone to lead the way. Chu Jianghan couldn't get used to his expression, so he snorted coldly and walked in front.
Wu He had seen Chu Jianghan and Shang Jiutian coming in the same boat before, and saw that he dared to walk in front of Shang Fengyi. He believed Li Feiyun's words even more, and politely led a few people to the Chinese army's tent. Exactly:
Fishing for river fish for leisure does not mean fishing for fame.
Ordinary people fish alone in Lin Jing.
Alone and facing Cangbo,
Learn from Ren Gong fishing for giant whales.
