"Tsk, the world is too proud of the martial arts realm, but the breathing realm is nothing more than that." Yi Xiaodao looked at Zhou Linglong's body, smacked his lips and sighed.
Fang Qianlong replied: "Don't underestimate her. She is only in the Breathing Realm for the first time, and she is injured, so we can kill her. If not, even though the Beggar Clan has a large number of people, we are no match."
"Anyway, thanks to you this time, these Beggar Clan disciples..." Yi Xiaodao was a little confused.
Fang Qianlong showed the finger ring on his hand: "Now I am the leader of the Beggar Clan, and the jade ring finger is proof."
Yi Xiaodao nodded. Although he didn't know what was going on, he was not the one to ask for the truth. He only advised: "The actions of the Beggar Clan have always been despised by martial arts people. You...be more careful."
"My father... forget it, I'll go and apologize to Your Majesty later." Fang Qianlong stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, glanced at the pony-tailed boy, nodded slightly, turned around and left to check on the injuries of the Beggar Clan disciples.
Yi Xiaodao looked at Fang Qianlong's back and knew that the distance between the two was getting farther and farther. When Fang Deng gave him to him, he was just a father hoping to find a future for his child, but he failed to protect him...
Li Dingxing was on the side, covering his sore arm, bumping Yi Xiaodao who was deep in thought, and nuzzled at the ponytail boy.
Yi Xiaodao finally came to his senses. After spending two days together, he was still his savior, but he didn't even know who he was. Yi Xiaodao calmed down, walked over and asked, "I don't know what you call me brother? I'm Yi Xiaodao, I will definitely repay you for the kindness of rescuing me today!"
The pony-tailed boy looked at Yi Xiaodao, as if he wanted to see through him: "You really don't know me?"
"How...how do I know you...?" Yi Xiaodao was a little confused.
The pony-tailed boy sighed and smiled bitterly: "I thought you were just pretending, but I didn't expect you really forgot that I am Zhao Ziyang."
"Zhao Ziyang..." Yi Xiaodao repeated, thinking hard.
"Wancheng Zhao Ziyang!" Zhao Ziyang continued to remind.
"It turns out to be you!" Yi Xiaodao then remembered. After watching Kong Bao being beheaded in the capital, Yi Xiaodao, Xiang Lian'er, and He Yue'er returned to Wancheng. Yi Xiaodao met the down-and-out Zhao Ziyang and was severely beaten by Fang Long with his servant. No wonder Fang Long just nodded lightly when he saw Zhao Ziyang, but he actually recognized him!
Yi Xiaodao looked at Fang Qianlong in the distance, and then at Zhao Ziyang, feeling unspeakably surprised.
Zhao Ziyang knew what Yi Xiaodao was thinking and wrote lightly: "It's all in the past."
"Ten taels, no wonder you said that fish was ten taels of silver..." Yi Xiaodao thought of more things. It turned out that Zhao Ziyang had reminded him a long time ago, but he didn't think of it in his own dull mind.
"If it weren't for your ten taels of silver, I might really have starved to death. Now that I have given my life back to you, we will owe nothing to each other." After Zhao Ziyang finished speaking, he said goodbye to Yi Xiaodao and Li Dingxing.
Yi Xiaodao asked, "How are you doing now? What if..."
"I'm living a good life, so I don't have to worry about it." Yi Xiaodao's title has already been passed back to Wancheng. As a famous person in Wancheng, he has long been a household name, and Zhao Ziyang has no reason not to know about it.
"If you don't like it, you can come and get along." Seeing the other party's attitude, Yi Xiaodao knew that he couldn't force him to stay, so he had to give the other party a word.
Yi Xiaodao watched Zhao Ziyang's figure getting further and further away, but he didn't notice that Zhao Ziyang's face was full of tears and he was sobbing. In the past, when Yi Xiaodao was begging in Wancheng, he relied on his prominent family background to make things difficult and tease him. But Yi Xiaodao not only did not bear grudges, but instead tried to help him again and again. It was hard to accept this kindness...
"Who are all the people you know..." Li Dingxing lowered his voice and was quite amazed at Yi Xiaodao's connections. When he was in trouble, there always seemed to be someone around Yi Xiaodao who showed up to help him in time. This was true during the recruitment in Su City and Wancheng. It's the same when he's in trouble... As everyone knows, these are just the connections Yi Xiaodao has accumulated little by little while wandering around the world.
"Oops!" Yi Xiaodao then remembered that the Yulin army was defeated by the Chu Xiang army. He had been here for two days and didn't know what the situation was like between the two sides. Without bothering to explain to Li Dingxing, he hurriedly pursued Fang Qianlong.
Although Fang Qianlong took up the position of leader for the first time, he was not a fool after all. He had already sent people to inquire about the war on the front line. Seeing Yi Xiaodao's inquiry, he called in spies to explain everything to Yi Xiaodao one by one.
"We actually won!" Yi Xiaodao was quite shocked. The Yulin Army was so badly defeated, but it could turn defeat into victory. It has to be said that it is really a miracle...
"If Ge Cifeng hadn't made a stupid move on his own, Chu Xiang's army wouldn't have fled in all directions. He actually wanted to boost morale by killing his own father, King Chu Xiang. This is crazy!" Li Dingxing clicked his tongue in surprise.
"The more such a person is, the more terrifying he is. He will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal, just like a blood-devouring tiger." Yi Xiaodao seemed to be talking to himself, unknowingly thinking of Donglu's Dongfang Bell. Dongfang Zhongdu was much better than Ge Cifeng. Even if he summoned the Japanese pirates, he thought of leaving a backup plan, but Ge Cifeng acted like a complete madman.
Fang Qianlong settled down the Beggar Clan disciples, turned around and said to Yi Xiaodao: "I learned that the Chu Xiang Army was passing by this way, and I specially led my people to intercept them. The swords have no eyes, and I asked Wu Dinggong to stay away for now."
"Since Gang Leader Fang also knows that I am Wu Dinggong of Daqi, how can I do it without me when it comes to annihilating the traitors?" Yi Xiaodao shook his head and refused, turning around to look for his scabbard.
Li Dingxing came over and said after careful consideration: "I, Nanhuai, are also responsible for what happened in the past... At that time, our Li Mansion raided the entire Su City..."
"Mr. Zhongyi, everything has passed. In fact, there is nothing wrong with being like this now. I have learned martial arts and became a gang leader... Fang must work hard to rectify the Beggar Clan and will not let the Beggar Clan become the black sheep of the martial arts world again."
Li Dingxing was quite relieved to see that Fang Qianlong no longer cared about the past, and whispered: "Gang Leader Fang, I have a plan..."
…
"My lord, wake up, wake up..."
Ge Cifeng was awakened by a call and opened his eyes in a daze: "Where are we now?"
"Your Majesty, we were on the way back to Chuxiang. You suddenly fell off your horse just now, which frightened us." The guards on the left and right replied quickly.
Xu Ren heard Ge Cifeng's movement not far away and ran over with water: "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Ge Cifeng drank a large bowl of water and breathed a long sigh of relief. It took him a long time to sort out his thoughts: "How many soldiers and horses do we have left?"
"Your Majesty, there were 100,000 troops and horses, but now... less than 40,000..."
"What happened to the northern and southern armies?"
"According to the reports of the soldiers who escaped, the Southern Army was completely wiped out and General Xu was captured alive. The Northern Army actually killed the enemy general Zhang Yu, but did not pursue General Xiang and instead led his troops back to rescue him. If General Xiang had not been dragged away, With a large number of enemy troops behind us, we are afraid that our losses will be even more severe..." Xu Ren said bitterly.
Ge Cifeng took a deep breath and sighed: "It's me who harmed General Xu...I regret it..." Xu Tong was good at land warfare, and Ge Cifeng didn't know that. I was just disgusted with his greed for fame and fame, and deliberately sent him to the waterway. Who would have thought that the Yulin Army was also prepared on the waterway.
"Your Majesty, as long as we can return to Chuxiang, we can definitely make a comeback!" Xu Ren comforted.
"Come back... Qilin Bow has disappeared, how can we make a comeback? The Beggar Clan and the Fuyin Division have all left me... Anyway, you are right, we are coming back, the outcome is not yet known!" Ge Cifeng's head was dizzy, but he still insisted on standing. After all, as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, we must not lose our will.
Following Ge Cifeng's awakening, the Chu Xiang army set off again to withdraw to Chu Xiang.
Not long after the trip, the spies reported: "The body of Zhou Linglong, the dead soldier of Qilin Bow, was found in the front. His human shape was almost indistinguishable and no enemy troops were visible."
Xu Ren was shocked when he heard this. He quickly waved his hand to drive away the sentry, and glanced at Ge Cifeng with some concern.
"Since Zhou Linglong's body has been found, it must be that the enemy is ambushing and sending orders to take a detour." When Ge Cifeng heard that Zhou Linglong was dead, he felt somewhat sad in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. As long as he could return to Chu Xiang , how many Zhou Linglong can be cultivated. The top priority is to return to Chuxiang!
Chu Xiang's army left the official road and walked along the small road. On the country road, only five people could walk side by side at most. There were 40,000 Chu and Xiang troops, making the already long queue even more crowded like a long snake.
Xu Ren was a little frightened. Chu Xiang's strategy was to encircle and trap them and kill them in groups. Now that the soldiers and horses were so scattered, he felt very uneasy.
Before Xu Ren could figure it out, there was a sudden shout, and countless people and horses poured out of the forest on both sides of the road. These people are all dressed in rags, howling like wolves and ghosts, and they are all disciples of the Beggar Clan!
"Beggars?" Ge Cifeng was a little confused.
Countless disciples of the Beggar Clan rushed to the trail and cut the Chu Xiang army into several sections. Everyone said nothing and started to fight when they encountered the Chu Xiang army. How could the soldiers of the Chu Xiang Army defeat the Beggar Clan disciples? What's more, Chu Xiang's soldiers and horses were already squeezed hard by this narrow path, and they were no match for the disciples of the Beggar Clan.
For a time, the Chu Xiang Army's team was wailing and screaming from beginning to end.
"Although Jiang Rong is dead, the Beggar Clan has already formed an alliance with Chu Xiang. Who is in charge? Come out and answer!" Ge Cifeng shouted.
At the end of the winding path, a man stood with his arms folded: "Is His Royal Highness looking for me? Or should I call you Prince?"
Ge Cifeng looked at the person coming for a long time and realized that he didn't recognize him...
"Who are you? Why did you raid our army?" Ge Cifeng asked sharply.
"Below Qianlong, the new leader of the Beggar Clan, has come to invite King Chu Xiang to stay." Although Fang Qianlong's tone was calm, his words were full of gunpowder. Although the Beggar Clan is famous all over the world in the martial arts world, it does belong to the type of sect that has a difficult time surviving. Nowadays, the Beggar Clan has contributed a lot to the great cause of Chuxiang Ge family, but it is just a chess piece of the opponent.
Fang Qianlong was very dissatisfied with this.
Ge Cifeng looked at his soldiers and horses being beaten into a state of disarray, and quickly spoke out to dissuade him: "Stop, we can talk again."
"Let's talk to Gang Leader Jiang." Fang Qianlong said calmly.
