"What Tang Sect disciple... can beat me better than the Beggar Clan disciples..." Xiang Qi rubbed his stomach. The place where the Tang Sect disciple kicked him before was still a little painful.
Xiang Liangyu was still lying in the carriage. Fortunately, Tang Yunsong didn't hit hard, and he was actually able to sit up on his own. Hearing his nephew's complaint, he said out loud: "If the pain is severe, get in the car. Three people can fit in it." The other person on the carriage was the disheveled and crazy Ge Cifeng.
Xiang Qi still sat on the horse without getting off, and stayed close to the carriage: "Second uncle, I'm fine. If I get in and squeeze you, you should be more careful... this lunatic."
Xiang Liangyu said in a deep voice: "Whether the prince is really crazy or fake, it's not your place to tell! Who did you learn to keep your mouth shut?"
Xiang Qi immediately closed his mouth, not daring to speak any more.
"Report! Urgent military situation! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" The uncle and nephew were speechless when they arrived on Pegasus and shouted from afar.
Chu Xiangjun recognized him as his sentinel and immediately stood on both sides to make way for the carriage.
"Report! Your Highness the Crown Prince! A Yulin army has invaded Chuxiang and has raided dozens of our cities. The military situation is urgent. Please send the troops back for reinforcements as soon as possible!"
As soon as the sentry said this, everyone was shocked. The Chu Xiang army, which had been a little noisy just now, fell silent in an instant.
Xiang Liangyu hurriedly opened the car curtain and asked: "The Yulin Army? Attacked dozens of my cities? Where did the Yulin Army come from? How many people are there?"
The sentry replied: "I don't know where they came from. There were only a few thousand people. They only killed the county magistrate appointed by the prince. After killing them, they left without occupying them. No city along the way could stop them. I'm afraid they have reached Jingzhou at this time." It’s outside the city!”
Xiang Liangyu frowned when he heard that there were only a few thousand troops and he only killed the county magistrate: "The Yulin Army has several thousand troops. Our army has been at odds with the imperial troops for two years. This army is Where did it come from?”
Xiang Qi thought of the small group of soldiers and horses that escaped from his hands when he was in Qiancheng. He didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, the momentum of those people...
"Second uncle, when we were in Qiancheng, a group of soldiers and horses once rushed through the defense line from my side..." Xiang Qi said uneasily.
Xiang Liangyu's eyes widened: "Why have you never mentioned it to me?"
Xiang Qi said honestly: "The number of people is very small, only more than 3,000. They can't make any waves. My nephew... I don't dare to say..."
Xiang Liangyu wanted to scold you, he kept talking for a long time, and then he sighed heavily: "Oh, I watched you grow up. I thought you had a dull personality and disciplined you a lot... In fact, everyone has his own Be careful, I'm stupid... We rushed back to Jingcheng. Fortunately, we only have three thousand soldiers and horses, so we really can't make any waves..."
Seeing that Xiang Liangyu's tone was soft, Xiang Qi breathed a sigh of relief: "Second uncle, let's rush back and take care of them!"
"The whole army must speed up and rush back to Jingcheng within three days!" Xiang Liangyu ordered.
In three days, it was difficult for the Chu Xiang army to rush from Yingcheng to Jingchu. Most of the soldiers were injured. How could they reach Jingcheng in three days? But at this moment, everyone has complaints. Many people's families are in Jingcheng. Everyone is eager to return home. Who would question the tight time? Chu Xiang's entire army sped up and rushed towards Jingcheng with all their strength.
…
"Gang leader, we found traces of Chu Xiangjun!"
"Where?" Fang Qianlong opened his eyes and jumped down from the tree, startling Yi Xiaodao who was sleeping under the tree.
"Yingcheng! Now they are heading towards Wucheng with all their strength!"
Fang Qianlong's eyes flashed: "Oh, we haven't even arrived at Wucheng yet."
Yi Xiaodao thought carefully: "Yingcheng? Yingcheng is in the east, and Wucheng is in the west. If they want to go back to Jingcheng, why go to Yingcheng? Isn't this the opposite? Is it to go to Sichuan and Shu to move reinforcements?"
Fang Qianlong was a little surprised when he heard Yi Xiaodao's words, and quickly asked with concern: "Will Sichuan and Shu send troops?"
Yi Xiaodao slowly shook his head: "No, if they win, Sichuan and Shu will send troops. Now that their army of hundreds of thousands has turned into a mere tens of thousands, how can Sichuan and Shu still dare to send troops? It's almost enough to send troops to fight them."
Fang Qianlong nodded: "Brothers, hurry up, we have to be the first to stop them! Gang Leader Jiang's revenge must be paid with blood!"
"Blood debt must be paid with blood!!!" A group of Beggar Clan disciples shouted loudly and became angry.
Yi Xiaodao stood quietly behind Fang Qianlong: "Hey, wasn't Gang Leader Jiang killed by Tao Fuyi? Didn't your spies from the Beggar Clan say that Tao Fuyi was dead?"
Fang Qianlong replied in a low voice: "I told the disciples of the Beggar Clan that Ge Cifeng sent people to kill him. Otherwise, how could they follow me to pursue the Chu Xiang army? If Ge Cifeng is not taken down, the Beggar Clan and Chu Xiang will never die. Can’t break the relationship.”
Yi Xiaodao nodded silently to express his understanding.
Above the sky, overlooking the earth. The disciples of the Beggar Clan were so fierce that they climbed over the mountains and forests, rushing towards Wucheng, hoping to stop the Chu Xiang army before Wucheng!
The Sichuan-Shu army and the disciples of the Tang clan marched for a long time, chasing after the Chu Xiang army, hoping to avenge the Tang clan Tang Yunsong and Chu Xiang's oppression of Sichuan and Shu for many years.
Although the Chu Xiang army did not know the movements of these two groups of troops, Jingcheng was in urgent need, and everyone was eager to return home and hurried on with all their strength.
Everyone is anxious, eager to live, eager to want others to die.
…
Outside Wucheng, the first troops arrived first. In addition to the "Zhe Ren" who begged at the bottom, the serious disciples of the Beggar Clan exercised their bodies every day and practiced short fighting martial arts. Their physical fitness was incomparable to others, so naturally they were the first to arrive.
"It's just past noon, why is the gate of Wucheng closed?" Fang Qianlong wiped the sweat from his forehead, a little puzzled.
Yi Xiaodao glanced at the city wall and saw not a single defender on the wall. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Ge Cifeng hasn't arrived yet! If he arrives, Wucheng will definitely feel like facing a formidable enemy. The walls will be filled with soldiers to resist." Chasing troops. As for why the city gate was closed, that’s not our concern.”
Fang Qianlong shook his head and said with a smile: "No wonder His Majesty the Emperor values you so much. No matter what happens, you can always grasp the key point of the problem and understand your own needs. You are much better than those ignorant people."
Yi Xiaodao smiled "hehe": "I am a real person. So when I was a child, I was begging for food. What scene have I never seen? It's not interesting. Getting what you want is the most practical thing!"
"Then I have to go back and take a good look at how many 'Yi Xiaodao' there are in my beggar gang." Fang Qianlong was also in a good mood and couldn't help but joke.
While the two were chatting and laughing, a Beggar Clan sentry came over: "Gang leader, the Chu Xiang Army has been spotted from behind!"
When Fang Qianlong heard this, his eyes shrank slightly: "Well done, I won't let you run away again this time!"
Yi Xiaodao didn't know that Fang Qianlong and Chu Xiang had any deep hatred, even if it was really because of Jiang Rong, it wouldn't be like this. And to be honest, Jiang Rong wanted to die... Recalling the punch that Jiang Rong helped him block, Yi Xiaodao felt somewhat grateful to the former leader of the Beggar Clan.
"Well, we can't let him run away anymore!" Yi Xiaodao's hatred for Ge Cifeng was no less than that of Fang Qianlong.
…
"Second uncle, we will reach Wucheng in twenty miles ahead!"
"Understood, please pay attention to the rear. Since Sichuan and Shu dare to use troops against us, they will not give up easily. Also, send someone to Wucheng, inform the Wucheng County Magistrate, and quickly send someone to meet His Royal Highness."
"Nephew, let's do it now." Xiang Qi took the order and rode away to arrange for manpower.
Xiang Liangyu looked at Xiang Qi's back, and felt somewhat comforted in his heart: Qi'er was not aggressive enough, but he was more than conservative, and he had an explanation for his dead brother. As long as he stabilizes the situation in Chuxiang, with Qi'er's ability, it will not be difficult to continue the Xiang family for another few decades. As for decades from now, it will be left to future generations to worry about...
After traveling for more than ten miles, a small group of people in front blocked the way.
"Hey, is Xiang Liangyu here?" A woman's call came from the front of the team. This call contained inner strength, and everyone in the Chu Xiang army could hear it clearly.
Hearing this, Xiang Liangyu felt happy and quickly opened the curtain of the car: "Qi'er, go and see if it's Elder Chu from the Beggar Clan!"
Xiang Liangyu led troops to the west of Wancheng and joined forces with Ge Cifeng to attack Zhou Ziru's camp. He did not expect Tang Xingchang to lead his troops to help. Ge Cifeng's stupid move of taking out the head of King Chu Xiang directly led to Chu Xiang's defeat. . Although Xiang Liangyu broke through there, he was separated from Chu Hong and more than a hundred Qilin Gong.
"Although there are less than a hundred people, it is still a great help. They must not know about the Beggar Clan and Qilin Bow. With these people here, returning to Jingcheng will not be a problem!" Xiang Liangyu was slightly excited.
Xiang Qi also understood the importance of Chu Hong and others, and quickly rode his horse across the army, and soon led a small group of people to the carriage.
"Hey, let me tell you, I haven't seen you for a few days, how come you have aged so much? You look like a little old man. Fortunately, I thought you were not bad before, so I almost made a secret promise to you." Chu Hong saw Lean sitting there. Xiang Liangyu, who was in the carriage, couldn't help but joked: "What? Your body is broken? You are already sitting in the carriage, and you are riding in such a broken carriage."
Xiang Liangyu had no intention of joking with her and asked hurriedly: "Elder Chu, are you okay waiting? How many people broke through in the battle of Wancheng?"
Chu Hong rolled her eyes at him: "You still know how to ask? One of the guardian elders of the Beggar Clan has been broken, and all the ordinary elders have been broken. There are only thirty people left in Qilin Gong, and they are all here."
The smile on Xiang Liangyu's face gradually faded: "There are only thirty left... It's okay, as long as everyone is still alive."
"Hmph, I don't care about Qilin Gong's life or death, but if Elder Feng dies, you have to give an explanation to our Gang Leader Jiang!"
"Absolutely..." Xiang Liangyu changed his usual solemnity and said with a slightly embarrassed smile.
Chu Hong glanced towards the back of the team. From the dense forest far behind, birds came out from time to time and hovered at low altitude: "Are there any pursuers?"
"Our army was defeated. His Royal Highness went to Sichuan and Sichuan to borrow troops. He didn't want to..." Xiang Qi said first, which made Xiang Liangyu look at him in surprise.
"Hmph, the people of Sichuan and Shu are the most unfaithful! Even the local big sects are insidious people like the Tang Clan!" Chu Hong looked down on the Tang Clan, and even Chu Xiang.
As soon as Chu Hong finished speaking, a junior high school student came over. He looked at Chu Hong and hesitated to speak, he was so scared that he didn't know what to do.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, see what I'm doing!" Chu Hongxing stared and shouted loudly.
"Ahead...there is another group of people blocking the road ahead..." The principal was so anxious that he almost cried...
