"Master, who is this Marshal of Tongguan?"
Nezha, who came together, raised his head and looked curiously at Tongguan in front of him. In his understanding, the people who guard Xiongguan all have special abilities, and even the worst ones have powerful people under their control. For example, Han Rong, the commander-in-chief of Bishui Pass, although not very powerful, the generals under his command are powerful characters.
Chu Feng did not respond immediately. He took a few steps forward and took in all the plants and trees in Tongguan. Then he turned his head and said, "The commander-in-chief of Tongguan, his name is Yu Hualong. His abilities are average, and his five sons are among ordinary people." Be brave, that’s all.”
Nezha couldn't believe that the commander guarding the first pass in the west was so inferior to the people under his command.
It's not child's play to use such people to guard such a majestic gate.
As a person who has been cheating since he was born, Nezha has no idea that there is something in this world - loyalty, daring loyalty.
"Let's enter the city." Chu Feng disappeared in one step.
…
Tongguan, as a military city, patrolling soldiers can be seen everywhere. Wherever there is a road, every time a stick of incense is burned, a small team of ten people will walk by carrying a spear.
A clean dirt road was very long, extending to a huge mansion surrounded by trees. At this time, the mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, giving it a joyful scene. As you can imagine, it was either a happy event or someone celebrating a birthday.
The open space in the mansion was full of people, men and women, old and young, all with happy faces.
The relatively unsightly clothes spoiled the atmosphere a bit, but there was nothing to be done about it. This was the early days of civilization, and material resources were very backward.
At this moment, a well-dressed middle-aged man stood in front of a tall house, accepting congratulations from everyone.
This person is none other than the Tongguan Marshal Yu Hualong that Chu Feng mentioned.
Yu Hualong is fifty years old this year. In this world full of spiritual energy, he is at the age when he is very energetic and powerful. Just now, he also performed a set of marksmanship, which won the applause of the whole house.
"After you finish drinking my birthday wine, you will fight to the death with that Xiqi traitor. I, the Great Shang, only have soldiers who died in battle, and no coward who lives in vain. If anyone dares to surrender to the enemy, I, Yu Hualong, will be the first to let him go."
Everyone said yes.
Yu Hualong nodded with satisfaction, then walked to the table on one side, took down a few bottles of wine, and walked towards a few old people with white beards.
These people were all his uncles and should have enjoyed their old age in peace. Because of the Xiqi rebellion, these people came all the way from their hometown. In their words, as minions of the Great Shang, they would rather die on the battlefield than die of old age. On the bed at home.
As a junior, Yu Hualong respected them very much.
When passing by a young general, a strong gust of wind hit him. As a veteran on the battlefield, Yu Hualong reacted quickly. He lowered his body and punched out with both fists.
The young general who made a sneak attack flew out in the air, vomiting blood from his mouth.
"Kill the old thief and surrender to the Zhou Dynasty." Six more generals and soldiers came over with daggers.
Since today was Yu Hualong's birthday, none of the guests brought weapons, and their flesh and blood bodies could not resist the sharp blade. In just a few breaths, several people fell into a pool of blood.
Two of them were veterans with white beards. They did not die on the battlefield, but died in despicable assassinations. The two white-bearded veterans closed their eyes with reluctance on their faces.
"Two uncles" Yu Hualong shouted and rushed forward with all his strength.
Two assassins shot out of the crowd again, one from the left and the other from the right. The attack was very fierce.
Just as Yu Hualong was about to be stabbed to death by an assassin, a ray of purple light flashed past with lightning speed, and the short knife in the assassin's hand instantly vaporized.
Bang, stabbed an empty assassin, and punched the side of Yu Hualong's body. Due to the loss of balance, his whole body leaned forward uncontrollably. He was hit in the head by Yu Hualong's fist and died on the spot.
The other assassin was even worse. He was instantly vaporized just one step away. He didn't even have a chance to take action.
At the same time, several screams rang out. It turned out that Yu Hualong's five sons and family guards had wiped out all the assassins.
"Father"
Yu Hualong ignored the gathered sons and raised his head to look at the sky with a respectful expression.
"Which immortal came to help just now? Can you please show up to see me?"
A portal opened in the void, and Chu Feng and Nezha, dressed in robes made of materials that did not exist in this world, came out.
"Poverty Taoist Chu Feng"
Yu Hualong was stunned for a moment, then knelt down on one knee.
"Tongguan General Soldier Yu Hualong pays homage to the Marshal"
When the people in the yard saw this, they also knelt down.
During this time, a monk named Chu Feng led the merchant army to fight against Xiqi on the western front. They heard too much about the battle with the monks.
Chu Feng came over and helped the kneeling Yu Hualong up, speaking in a kind tone.
"The thief has Daluo Jinxian in charge. Pindao is a little inferior in cultivation, so he can only retreat again and again. Now, he can no longer retreat. Pindao plans to fight Xiqi here."
Hearing this, Yu Hualong's expression darkened, he stretched out two thick and big hands, and held Chu Feng's hand tightly.
"Marshal, is there no chance at all?"
Chu Feng shook his head. There may be opportunities, but I can't tell you. There may be many eyes staring at this place at this moment, so I have to hide it.
Yu Hualong couldn't hide his disappointment. He thought that Taoist Chu, who had resisted Xiqi for so long, would be able to defeat the enemy, but he didn't expect that the result would be the same as before.
A tough-looking man poked his head out from behind Yu Hualong.
"Taoist Master Chu, it's nothing more than that."
Yu Hualong was so angry that he slapped his youngest son to the ground with his backhand, and then kicked him while scolding: "You little bastard, Taoist Master Chu has nothing to do with me, Dashang. With his enthusiasm, he stuck to the front line of Qinglong Pass." Over the past few months, countless immortals and monks have been killed and wounded. If it weren’t for him, our country, the Great Shang, would have been destroyed.”
The man huddled together, saying nothing, and did not dare to fight back.
After a while, seeing that the beating was almost done, Chu Feng spoke to dissuade him.
"General Yu, don't fight any more. The Zhou army will arrive in an instant. It's better to keep your son useful and kill the enemy to serve the country."
Yu Hualong kicked him two more times before giving up.
"Traitor, if the marshal hadn't begged for mercy, I would have broken your legs."
Chu Feng sighed in his heart, he was worthy of his military background.
Suddenly, a low horn sounded, with a desolate and depressing sound, as if a giant beast that had been sleeping for a hundred years was awakening in the wilderness.
Yu Hualong's face turned cold, and he loudly said to the people in the courtyard: "The traitors from Xiqi are coming. You should go and prepare immediately."
After the generals accepted the order, they left with a roar.
Even the younger son who had been beaten up limped away.
Only Yu Hualong, Chu Feng and Nezha were left in the yard.
Yu Hualong approached Chu Feng and lowered his voice.
"Marshal, is there really no chance of winning?"
True Monarch Qingxu Daode was already close at hand. How could Chu Feng not be careful? Hearing this, he let out a long sigh with a look of despair.
