After everyone's discussion was over, Li Dingxing and Xiang Lian'er returned to the tent arranged for them by Zhou Ziru.
"Tell me, will something happen to Yi Xiaodao?" Xiang Lian'er said worriedly.
"Something happened? What could happen? Yi Xiaodao's martial arts skills are no longer inferior to yours now. As long as he doesn't rush into the Chuxiang military camp, what could happen to him?" Li Dingxing comforted Xiang Lian'er.
Xiang Lian'er shook her head and said, "I don't know either. There is a war and chaos outside right now. I'm really worried that something will happen to him."
"Yi Xiaodao lived well when he was eating hundreds of meals. What can happen now? Moreover, all the way from Tianzhu Mountain to here is the territory of the imperial court, so nothing will happen to him." Li Dingxing said confidently.
Xiang Lian'er nodded, remembering the days when the three of them fled from Wancheng to the capital. Yi Xiaodao was responsible for the food, drink, housing and transportation along the way. It would be really difficult if something happened to him.
Xiang Lian'er thought of something again and complained about Li Dingxing: "Why didn't you fight back when Zhou Ziru said that just now?"
Li Dingxing poked Xiang Lian'er's cheek and said with a smile: "What kind of talk? He is praising our Li family for being loyal for generations! Oh, Nanhuai is so close to the imperial court and so rich, it is normal for the imperial court to be suspicious. If Zhou Ziru hadn't If you are suspicious of us, then there is a problem. But it doesn’t matter, Nanhuai has already withdrawn from the vassal. It doesn’t matter anymore.”
Xiang Lian'er held Li Dingxing's hand: "If we hadn't gone to Nanhuai..."
"If you hadn't come to Nanhuai, where would I have found such a good wife like you? Don't think too much about it. I'm very satisfied to be here today." Li Dingxing hugged Xiang Lian'er and said tenderly.
"Do you have any wishes? I can help!" Xiang Lian'er raised her face and asked.
"Yes, the eldest brother himself avenged the revenge of my father and my eldest brother. Now I just want to avenge my mother." Li Dingxing said slowly.
Xiang Lian'er looked at Li Dingxing, waiting for his next words.
"The great Nanhuai family, the Zhu family! To be precise, the patriarch of the Zhu family, Zhu Ce! He was the one who sent people to assassinate my mother back then, and he fought with my father for many years. Not only my father, he is a member of a thousand-year-old family, and Our Li family has been sworn enemies for generations!" Li Dingxing has a good memory and can still remember Zhu Ce.
"Well, if I have the chance, I will definitely take revenge!" Xiang Lian'er nodded, and then asked, "Is there anything else?"
Li Dingxing looked at Xiang Lian'er and said with a wicked smile: "Yes, the Li family must have a heir!"
"Don't make trouble, this is a military camp!"
"What's going on in the military camp? Zhou Ziru has to be polite to me!"
"Stop...pressing my hair!"
Chen Guang and others guarded outside the tent and quietly walked farther away, keeping the distance just right.
…
Under the bright moon, three figures passed through the forest and leaves. Guan Chenzi and the others hurriedly hurriedly passed Wancheng.
"We have to drive at night, can we see..." Tong Weizi, who was left behind, said dissatisfiedly.
Guan Chenzi glared and said, "If you arrive a moment earlier, you can save countless lives!"
Tong Weizi stared back: "Okay, I want to see how many lives you can save!"
Fang Qianlong suddenly stopped in front of a tree: "Shh, stop making noise, there is something moving ahead."
The two stopped arguing, came to Fang Qianlong's side, and looked down.
There was a large group of troops in front of them, all of them panting from exhaustion. Judging from the style of their armor, they were clearly from the Chu Xiang Army.
"General Xu, can we escape as a lone army running eastward? We are getting farther and farther away from Chu Xiang..." asked a Chu Xiang general, looking quite depressed.
This group of people was Chu Xiang's troops on the south route. The Chu Xiang navy led by Xu Tong was ambushed by Li Dingxing before they reached Wancheng on the river, and all the warships were scuttled. After landing, they were blocked by Xiang Lian'er on their way back, so they had no choice but to flee eastward.
When Xu Tong heard his subordinate's inquiry, he sighed and said, "Oh, I was careless. Who would have thought that a guy like Li Dingxing could come? The Nanhuai Water Battle is really not just a rumor."
"General Xu, when are we going to end our run to the east? If we go any further, we will reach Wancheng..." The general couldn't help feeling frightened when he thought that there were still 50,000 troops in Wancheng.
"Let's go a little further and turn north to meet up with the Northern Route Army." Xu Tong said.
The general also sighed: "Well, I hope the Northern Route Army can win."
"Oh, it's best to win, but it doesn't matter even if you can't win. We still have thousands of troops here. If the Northern Route Army and the imperial troops are fighting anxiously, we can surprise them from behind and catch them off guard!" Xu Tong finally said This is a famous general, even though he is in trouble, he is still thinking about how to turn the tide of the war.
On the tree, Guan Chenzi said softly: "It seems that Chu Xiang's water army has been defeated."
"Just in time, I'll go down and ask where the beggar gang is." Fang Qianlong jumped down from the tree.
"who!"
The Chu Xiang army was already frightened. Fang Qianlong was discovered as soon as he jumped down, causing all the Chu Xiang army to immediately be on guard.
"Disciples of the Beggar Clan, I would like to ask all the generals, do you know where the leader of my sect is now?" Fang Qianlong took two steps back, indicating that he was not hostile.
"From the Beggar Clan?" Xu Tong pushed aside the soldiers and looked at Fang Qianlong by the light of the torches in the army: "Why are the disciples of the Beggar Clan here?"
Fang Qianlong replied: "In the name of the gang leader, we went to Beijing to wait for an opportunity to assassinate the emperor. We don't want the matter to be exposed, and I and other brothers and sisters are separated. If the general knows, please tell me."
The general on the side sighed: "Bah, you can't stop people's bad luck. When a defeated general encounters an incompetent person, do you think it's bad luck or not?"
Xu Tong frowned secretly. The words "defeated general" were particularly harsh, but he also knew that his subordinate spoke straightforwardly, so he did not have an attack.
Fang Qianlong's expression did not change. His two years in the capital had polished his character to a very calm nature. Such words could not anger him at all: "If the general doesn't know, I'll leave."
"Hey, the Beggar Clan is now an ally of Chu Xiang Army, and you're just going to leave like that?" The general said with some reluctance.
Fang Qianlong looked back at him and said nothing.
"There are pursuers behind us. Since you said you are a disciple of the Beggar Clan, you must have some skills. Go and help us block the pursuers." The general pointed at Fang Qianlong and said.
"What's wrong..." Fang Qianlong ignored him and turned to leave.
"Bastard!" Seeing that Fang Qianlong didn't take him seriously, the general became angry and chased him with his gun. Unfortunately, before he could get close, Fang Qianlong kicked him in the chest and kicked him back. Fortunately, he blocked the shot in a hurry, so nothing serious happened.
Xu Tong saw Fang Qianlong's move and felt a little moved in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "Little brother, now that we are allies, please help each other. Don't worry, I won't let you take risks alone." , How about this, if you and I have a thousand elite soldiers, we will only need to break off for a moment, and I will immediately bring troops to help?"
Fang Qianlong laughed angrily: "Oh, a thousand elite soldiers? If a thousand elite soldiers can cut off the rear, why are you running away? A bunch of incompetent people!"
"You!" The general was defeated in the water, and now he was despised by Fang Qianlong on the shore. He was so angry that he wanted to show off again.
"I would like to discuss it with you. Don't be disrespectful!" Xu Tong was also a little annoyed.
The general on the side couldn't bear it anymore and raised his gun. The Chu Xiang army behind him immediately surrounded him.
"Stop!" Guan Chenzi saw the two parties about to take action on the tree, and immediately shouted loudly and jumped down from the tree. Tong Weizi had no time to stop him, so he had no choice but to follow.
Guan Chenzi landed lightly, drew his sword and kneaded the secret, and came to Fang Qianlong's side: "You have lost the battle yourself, and you still want others to die. It's so unreasonable!"
Xu Tongxun looked up and asked tentatively: "Are you from Zhenyang Mountain?"
"Yes! I am Zhenyangshan Guanchenzi! This is Zhenyangshan Tongweizi."
"Why did you report me out..." Tong Weizi was speechless...
Xu Tong sneered and said: "Hmph, I just said that the Jianghu sect is unreliable. The Beggar Clan and Zhenyang Mountain have actually come together. I'm afraid the prince is still kept in the dark about this. When I go back, I will definitely report this to the Ming Crown Prince. Your Highness, your beggar gang is in danger!"
"General Xu, why are you talking nonsense with him? I'll take them down first!" After saying that, he drew his gun and took Fang Qianlong straight.
This time, the general was much more cautious and did not dare to be careless. He charged up a shot and pierced Fang Qianlong's throat. The surrounding Chu Xiang troops also rushed forward, raising their swords and spears to chop and stab indiscriminately.
Guan Chenzi and Tong Weizi waved their swords to resist the attacks of a group of Chu and Xiang troops. At the same time, two black figures were like ghosts, sneaking into the crowd and clashing with each other.
Fang Qianlong clenched his fists and saw a Chu Xiang's spear stabbing him in front of him. He grabbed the head of the spear and raised his arms to break the spear into two pieces. He took the broken gun head and inserted it into the chest of this Chu Xiangjun. Without waiting for the opponent to fall to the ground, he raised his foot and stepped on the spear head from his chest. A ball of blood mist burst out from his back, and the spear head was fired at the approaching warrior.
The warrior knocked down the tip of his dancing gun and swept the gun barrel towards Fang Qianlong's lower back. Fang Qianlong jumped in the air, dodged the spear, and landed on the shoulder of another Chu Xiangjun. When he got up again, he clasped the Chu Xiang general's shoulders with both hands, lifted him up from the ground, and kicked him in mid-air. The target was still the Chu Xiang general.
At this moment, General Chu Xiang was only angry that he did not have a broadsword in his hand. He could not cut the flying Chu Xiang Army in half with one strike. The cork spear could not withstand the impact of a large living person. He had no choice but to reach out and kill this Chu Xiang Army. Take it.
Fang Qianlong suddenly appeared from behind the Chu Xiang soldiers who had just caught the Chu Xiang soldiers, and clasped the general's shoulder armor with both hands. The general thought he was going to repeat his old trick, so he immediately used a heavy weight drop to prevent him from pulling him up.
"Bang!"
With a knee strike, General Chu Xiang was knocked to pieces, with stars in his eyes, and he didn't know where he was.
"General Mo!"
Fang Qianlong fought with his hands and threw General Mo to the ground. He raised his fist and smashed him in the face. He punched seven or eight times in a row until the soldiers around him swarmed up, then he gave up and jumped out with two backflips to avoid being surrounded.
Xu Tong rushed over to check on his subordinate's injuries. He gritted his teeth and shook his head slightly: "It's a bit cruel!"
"Vicious? Ha..." Just as Fang Qianlong was about to speak, there was a burst of shouting in the forest, and countless soldiers and horses poured out from all directions, surrounding the Chu Xiang army together with Fang Qianlong, Guan Chenzi and others.
The Yulin Army arrived.
"General Xu, you are a famous general after all. You can run eastward, which is really unexpected. I even took a boat to chase you upstream for a while. What can I say now?" Yu Lin General Yang Gong rode his horse from Lin Zishen. Chu walked out slowly.
