Entering the formation, Yang Fan suddenly discovered that these Plum Blossom Guards were stronger than those he encountered in the Duke's Mansion, and he couldn't help but feel a little itchy.
Since redeeming martial arts, Yang Fan has never used his full strength. Now that he has such a good opportunity, of course he will not miss it.
What makes him even more envious is that all of these people are good players with a solid foundation. If they are slightly modified, they can become powerful arms and save himself a lot of effort.
Thinking of this, he was secretly happy and wished he could take these people into his own hands right away.
Although he was impatient, he was careful to use the Wannian Ship, but he did not dare to be careless at all.
There are only three people in the Plum Blossom Brand Formation forming a group, and the six groups of people are constantly changing positions, dividing and joining together like six-petaled plum blossoms.
The Plum Blossom Branding Formation seems to have evolved from the Xiao Sancai Formation, but it is very different. However, no matter what the formation is, there will always be flaws as long as it is used by people.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan in the formation moved like a rabbit and was as agile as a monkey, constantly changing his position, looking for the weakest link.
One move, "Horse Steps and Horizontal Strike," was used to test a breakthrough. The simple but effective military boxing moves combined with the vigorous power erupted, creating a powerful fight.
After many attempts to no avail, the Plum Blossom Guard's combined attack technique was indeed powerful. Every time Yang Fan made a strong attack, he would be threatened by threats from other directions.
But even so, Yang Fan found the weak link of the Meihua Branding Formation, which was when the Meihua Guard's transformation had not yet been settled.
This discovery greatly increased Yang Fan's confidence. Just when he was about to use a "blocking attack" move to focus on one point to open up the situation, the other groups of Plum Blossom Guards seemed to see Yang Fan's purpose, and the formations instantly merged like buds. got up.
It was difficult to block four hands with two fists. Even though he blocked most of the attacks, Yang Fan was still hit several times.
This made Wu Meiniang and others on the side tremble with fear. They covered their mouths with their hands and their hearts were raised to their throats. If they weren't afraid of disturbing him, they might have screamed out.
Seeing Yang Fan being hit by the Plum Blossom Guard, Wu Yuanshuang shouted excitedly. Of course he didn't want anyone to break through the Plum Blossom Array. After all, the Plum Blossom Guard was their brother's biggest support. If they lost it, the consequences could be imagined.
Bang bang..., only a sound of metal collision was heard, but Yang Fan was not hurt at all. He gathered his strength and used another move of 'rebound side attack'.
The force of the counterattack made the Plum Blossom Guard take several steps back, and the originally calm Plum Blossom Guard suddenly looked horrified.
Wu Yuanshuang on the side was also frightened. He didn't expect Yang Fan to be so powerful. He kept muttering to himself: "Impossible, how can he be so strong..."
Indeed, if ordinary warriors were hit head-on by so many Plum Blossom Guards, they might have been disabled long ago, but they encountered the cheating Yang Fan.
Although he was hit many times, Yang Fan did not feel pain. Instead, he aroused the blood in his heart and gave up his defense. He used a set of military fists to open and close.
Yang Fan is as powerful as an ox, and through the cooperation of Plum Blossom Guards, it seems that he can concentrate the power of several people into an explosion. The two sides go back and forth, which makes Yang Fan fight happily.
Seeing Yang Fan who was hit continuously but made no damage but was unscathed, Jing Chu, who was watching the battle next to him, looked horrified:
"Transformation Realm Henglian Golden Bell Cover..."
No wonder he was so surprised. It was almost impossible for a foreigner to practice kung fu and reach the transformation state. At least he had never heard of it.
Moreover, those who practice horizontal kung fu will find it more difficult to reach advanced levels as they grow older and their qi and blood decline.
Therefore, those who can practice horizontal kung fu to the level of Xiaocheng have few opponents. He has never heard of people like Yang Fan who have reached the realm of transformation at such a young age.
Now that he saw that the plum blossom guard who had been trained by himself was helpless against Yang Fan, Jing Chu was silent.
He knew that if things continued like this, it would only be a matter of time before the Plum Blossom Guards were defeated. He never thought that there would be someone in this world who could single-handedly break through the Plum Blossom Branding Formation.
You must know that these people and this formation have consumed most of his life. In his opinion, even the evil from ancient times will be filled with hatred.
Just as he was about to let the Plum Blossom Guard make the final move, he heard Yang Fan shouting in the sky, his muscles instantly swelled, and his body seemed to be bigger than before. The clothes on his upper body were torn apart, exposing his bronzed skin.
I saw him walking like thunder to the place where he changed positions, and at the same time he used the "Lung Step and Punch" in the military boxing. Before the Plum Blossom Guard could get into position, Yang Fan's iron fist was like a cannonball. Before he could react, Plum Blossom Guard was directly knocked away.
With the lack of personnel, the power of the Plum Blossom Branding Formation naturally declined. At this time, the formation no longer threatened Yang Fan. Although these Plum Blossom Guards tried their best, their defeat was a foregone conclusion.
Wu Meiniang on the side looked at Yang Fan who was like a god, her eyes were shining with joy, while Wu Shun's eyes were even more brilliant, half shy and half happy, with two pretty faces like flowers smiling, even the sunlight dimmed a bit. .
Beauty loves heroes for nothing more than this!
…
Inside the Tai Chi Hall.
After reviewing the memorial, Li Shimin could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He picked up the tea on the desk and took a sip. The refreshing fragrance sobered up his head that had been dizzy due to high concentration for a long time.
But there were not many such tea leaves left. When I thought about the boy who made the tea, I felt a little angry. He was the emperor, and everything in the world belonged to him.
But the guy actually refused to give him even a few kilograms of tea leaves. The thought of this made Li Shimin so angry that his teeth itched.
He turned to the old eunuch beside him and asked, "Is that boy back?"
As a confidant, Wang Huangui certainly knew who the boy Li Shimin was talking about, and quickly replied: "Reporting to everyone, according to Baiqi's secret report, Uncle Zhongyi returned to Chang'an yesterday after making arrangements for Yangjiaping."
Although Wang Huangui has followed Li Shimin for decades, he has never seen anyone as favored by nature as Yang Fan.
Although Li Shimin usually shouted like a boy or a stick, this represented the emperor's closeness.
As the emperor's chamberlain, Wang Huangui certainly did not dare to show any slightness, and naturally paid special attention to Yang Fan's whereabouts.
Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "Oh? I thought that boy would huddle in Yangjiaping like a turtle, and he dared to run out? But that boy is really a stick, and he will run away when he gets into trouble. Do you really think that I am that stupid king?"
Wang Huangui immediately flattered him and said: "You are a famous emperor through the ages. The people of the Tang Dynasty did not praise you as a benevolent king. Many people even set up longevity tablets for you."
Li Shimin, who was full of vanity, laughed as if he had drank ice water in the dog days of summer, and then asked: "What is that kid doing now?"
As Wang Huangui told Yang Fan's every move when he returned to Chang'an City, Li Shimin was both jealous and angry.
Jealousy is because this kid has easily earned hundreds of thousands more, which is all money. As a poor guy, of course he is jealous.
I was annoyed because this kid got into trouble as soon as he arrived in Chang'an. He was so troublesome. It seemed like he really needed to arrange a job for this kid as soon as possible.
After scolding Yang Fan for being greedy and lustful, he asked again: "You said that boy left the city with dozens of guards early in the morning. Do you know where he went? He won't cause trouble again, right?"
Wang Huangui slowly told the story about the Wu brothers' detention of Wu Meiniang's mother and sister.
After listening, Li Shimin said nothing, walked around the Tai Chi Hall with his hands behind his back, and asked in vain: "Do you know anything about Plum Blossom Village?"
Wang Huangui nodded and explained: "To report back to everyone, in the fifth year of Zhenguan, you arranged for hundreds of knights to conduct overt and covert visits to major families and nobles, including Duke Ying's mansion."
"Plum Blossom Manor was originally the residence of Ying Guogong's warriors and caravan guards. Later, it gradually became the private residence of Ying Guogong's mansion. There are about fifty well-trained guards inside. However, the slaves are a little confused as to why everyone I ordered an investigation but..."
Li Shimin chuckled and said helplessly: "You want to ask why not get rid of all these people?" Before Wang Huangui could reply, Li Shimin continued: "If this is the only family, I can destroy them easily, but these aristocratic families and nobles are Is there any family that doesn’t support private soldiers?”
Compared with those aristocratic families that have been passed down for thousands of years, the private soldiers raised by Yingguo Gongfu can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, so why should I alert others?
If one of them is touched rashly, other aristocratic families and nobles will be in danger. More than 90% of the officials in the court are from these aristocratic families and nobles. Once I take action, I may let them unite. Rise up and resist.
What's more, it will lead to chaos in the world and the displacement of the people. This is not what I want to see.
After listening, Wang Huangui nodded with understanding: "Everyone is indeed far-sighted, but I am short-sighted. How about sending someone to Plum Blossom Manor to help Uncle Zhongyi."
Li Shimin waved his hand: "Although my nephew does not live up to expectations, he is not weak in boxing and kicking skills. Yang Fan can easily defeat him, which shows that he is quite brave. Here, he brought dozens of guards. I don't think so." If there is any big problem, even if he suffers some setbacks, let him learn a lesson, otherwise the situation will turn upside down in the future."
While Li Shimin was discussing Yang Fan, inside Plum Blossom Villa...
