Chapter 706: Xun Family Lingjun
It is said that when Chen Long and Lu Chang left Diao Chan's hiding place, they still felt bitter in their hearts. In desperation, he had to separate from his beloved wife who had just reunited. The key to the success of the escape plan turned out to be that he and Lu Chang showed up at the martial arts competition, becoming the bait that attracted the jackals, and made Xun Yu and Li Ru's Keep your eyes on yourself.
This level of stupidity is no less than that of a moth flying into a flame, but Chen Long had no choice but to face the difficulties. He and Lu Chang had always been inseparable and appeared together in front of everyone. In order not to arouse the suspicion of Xun Yu and Li Ru, Chen Long had no choice but to take Lu Chang with him.
Today's Tianshui Gang dressed up early and were beaming with joy, and even invited a gong and drum team outside the gate to add to the fun. After all, it is a big day for gang leaders to compete in martial arts to recruit brides, and everyone in the gang is in high spirits. For gangs like the Tianshui Gang, marriage is the best opportunity to expand their sphere of influence. If the gang leader can marry a hero with outstanding martial arts skills and a distinguished fortune, the Tianshui Gang will naturally be able to expand its sphere of influence on a large scale.
The competition to recruit a bride also has the flavor of political marriage. After all, whoever marries Ma Yunlu can also be said to have both wealth, sex and power. Therefore, at Zheng Xuan's lecture conference, all the sects and young talents will do their best to get a ticket to compete for a bride. At the same time, Tianshui Shaocheng's advocate Ji Ji has also coveted Ma Yunlu for a long time, and the conspiracies behind this are endless.
There were a total of twelve people who were finally qualified to compete in the competition, except for the injured Song Jian who decided to withdraw. Eleven of them were selected from Zheng Xuan's lecture conference, namely Huaiyang, Zhang Ji, Han Ying, Guo Huai, Liao Li, Chen Yi, Sima Lang, Jiang Wei, Wang Chang, Du Shu, and Mar Kom Sasan. Among them, Malcolm Sasan was Sasan's nephew, and he was also the only foreigner who fell into Zheng Xuan's eyes.
The above characters are all talented in both civil and martial arts, but Zheng Xuan's materials focus on literature, so the only ones who are truly competitive in martial arts are Han Ying, Zhang Ji, Wang Chang, Huai Yang, Jiang Wei and Malcolm. There is another person who was also selected for the Lecture Conference, but his identity is mysterious. No one knows who he is at the moment. It is only said that he was directly selected by senior figures and participated in the competition to recruit a bride. He was not selected by Zheng Xuan's Lecture Conference.
This time, Chen Long was afraid that people would not know that he was coming, so he and Lu Chang made a special trip to the market first. Each of them rode a group of rented tall horses and wore a brand-new blue-grey military uniform. They also specially chose a Put on a white shirt. The horse had to run, with its white jersey flying high behind it, feeling indescribably proud of the spring breeze. The two of them walked through the market like this, and the hidden stakes on both sides had already sent information to the supervisor behind them like a snowflake.
One of the intelligence supervisors, disguised as the account manager of the drugstore, got the information that Chen Long was going straight to the Tianshui Gang. He walked out of the back door, bypassed several alleys, and entered a bluestone road. At the end of the road is a quiet thatched hut, located in front of a small ridge, with no one guarding it in front or behind. There is a small courtyard in front of the hut, with a large green mountain field behind it. In the middle of the courtyard is an old well covered with moss, which makes it look quite pastoral.
The supervisor kept walking until he walked into Chaimen. Suddenly a figure flashed out of the darkness next to him, blocking the way in for an instant. The supervisor bowed slightly and said softly: "General Xiahou, the idea is on the way."
The general known as Xia Hou nodded slightly, his young face looked solemn, and the supervisor bowed slightly. General Xiahou watched the supervisor leave, gently picked up a sword leaning on the side, tightened a carved bow slung on his back, turned around and walked to the thatched house and bowed: "Xun Lingjun, that Chen Long has driven away The horse rushes towards the Tianshui Gang."
There was no sound in the room, but suddenly the man named Xun Lingjun coughed softly and said: "Xiao Shang, you can withdraw the troops that Huang Yan took away. Kill Huang Yan conveniently."
General Xiahou, who was called Xiao Shang, was slightly startled, then bowed and said, "Yes." Then he turned and left. Xun Lingjun whispered again: "Zihe, let's set off."
From the shadows next to the hut, another voice immediately came out and replied: "Yes." A snow-white man came out, wearing ordinary civilian clothes, but this man had a dark quality, as if he could become one with the darkness. . Even in ordinary attire, this man has a straight figure and makes almost no sound when walking. If he hadn't made any noise, no one would have noticed his presence in broad daylight.
If Chen Long was around, there would be another turmoil in his heart. Needless to say, the Xun Lingjun here is Xun Yu who was sent by Cao Cao to take charge of the assassination work.
The team sent by Cao Cao to Xun Yu was the most elite assassination team of the Cao family. Among them, the person named Zihe is naturally Cao Chun, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and Xiao Shang, the general of Xiahou, is Xiahou Shang, the white dragon pony of the Xiahou family.
Xia Houshang, courtesy name Boren, was a native of Qiao County, Pei State. A famous general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, he was the nephew of Xia Houyuan, the general who conquered the west. In the official history, Cao Cao pacified Jizhou and took Wen Wen, the commander of the army, as a general in the army, and moved to Huangmen as a minister. He followed Cao Zhang in his expedition to Wuhuan and returned victoriously. Being close and friendly with Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi, he became the General of the Conquest of the South. He led the governor of Jingzhou and oversaw all the military forces in the south. He conquered Shangyong in the Shu Kingdom and pacified three counties and nine counties. He was promoted to the General of the Conquest of the South. He defeated the Wu general Zhuge Jin in Jiangling. He was promoted to Jingzhou Mu and granted the title of Marquis of Changling Township. Huang died in the seventh year of Chu's reign, and his posthumous title was Mourning. He was succeeded by his son Xiahou Xuan. In the fourth year of Zhengshi, he was entitled to enjoy Cao Cao's temple.
In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Xiahou Shang is the nephew of Xiahou Dun. He accompanied Cao Hong to Hanzhong and was sent to support Zhang He together with Han Hao. He was defeated by Shu general Huang Zhong and switched to Xiahou Yuan's army in Dingjunshan. He was captured alive by Huang Zhong during the battle. , and was later exchanged by Xia Houyuan for the captured Shu general Chen Shi. During the exchange, Huang Zhong was shot in the back with an arrow and was seriously injured. After Xu Huang rescued the siege of Fancheng, Xiahou Shang and Xu Huang guarded Xiangyang, and then followed Xu Huang to capture Shangyong. Later, Xiahou Shang participated in a three-pronged attack on Wu and was severely defeated by Wu generals Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin.
This Xiahou Shang has made extraordinary achievements in his life, and his martial arts is also very high. Coupled with the status of the Xiahou family, he is highly valued. His best skill is the magical skill of piercing the Yang with a hundred steps. Together with Cao Xiu, he is known as the double master of Cao Jiajun's archery. Therefore, he was sent by Cao Cao to protect Xun Yu closely.
Xun Yu secretly arrived in Xiliang this time to implement the alliance between Han Sui and Cao Cao. Li Ru introduced Chen Long into Xiliang because of the kidnapping of Diao Chan, which was also the reason why Xun Yu came in person. If Chen Long can be killed here with a trap killing formation, the Qinglong Army will collapse without a fight, and the world will be in control.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
