On the snowy ground, Si Hu's roar sounded again and again. The black shadows of dozens of riders, taking advantage of Si Hu's inability to take care of it, cunningly waved their long swords and slashed down coldly, splattering blood beads from time to time.
Before the horseman arrived, Xu Mu's eyes were filled with jealousy from a distance.
"Wei Feng, kill all these bastards who are trying to destroy the village!"
Hearing Xu Mu's words, Wei Feng also looked furious. He waved the long knife in his hand and led hundreds of riders behind him. He didn't care about the deep forest and the narrow road, and came to kill them desperately.
"Brother Tiger, take the knife!"
Si Hu angrily slapped the figure, knocking him down. Then he turned around, took the saber, and rushed towards Duan Chou hiding in the corner with blood all over his body.
Duan Chou's eyes bulged, and he clenched the double-edged ax in his hand urgently. After thirteen years of being famous in the inner city, to be honest, he couldn't see through the path of the giant man in front of him.
According to common sense, even the other five masters would not be able to withstand dozens of riders fighting in the wind and snow. The best result would be to retreat and escape. But not only could he bear the giant man in front of him, he was also holding the knife in his arms and charging at him.
"Say it again, what's your name?"
"The surname is Duan Chou, and he is known as Duan Axe." Duan Chou gritted his teeth, "Village man, tell me what your name is."
"I'll cut your head off!"
Duan Chou's face immediately turned red, and he dragged his double-edged ax. He just wanted to kill one round to establish his power, and then find a way to escape.
Unexpectedly, the giant man in front of him moved too fast, and in the blink of an eye, he swung the knife and struck in front of his eyes.
clang.
In the dark night, there are sparks dancing.
Duan Chou, who raised the axe, felt his hands feel heavy for a moment, and he coughed twice.
"You are also a big man, taller than me, but you have a very useful one. With such soft strength, how about you put on a red robe and join the Qing Dynasty as a flower girl?"
"Shut up!" Duan Chou was furious. After swinging his cleavage saber, he swung the double-edged ax with one hand and slashed across Si Hu's abdomen.
The splitting saber returned its blade and stood firmly in front of the double-edged axe.
"Just tell me how strong you are!" Si Hu bulged his eyes and refused to retreat.
Duan Chou looked coldly and didn't answer, and the claws of his hands were split open by the shock. After thirteen years of fame and running rampant in the inner city for many years, God knows how such a village guy appeared with terrifying strength.
His steps fell back, Duan Chou narrowed his eyes and turned back to the axe, pretending to run forward, dragging the double-edged ax to the ground, leaving a deep ravine.
Si Hu ran up and took two steps after him.
"Break!"
Duan Chou suddenly struck back, the huge double-edged ax shone with cold light, and struck down with a sudden blow, hitting Si Hu on the head as he ran towards him.
In the cold wind, Duan Chou opened his eyes wide in excitement, thinking that the giant man who was caught off guard would definitely be chopped in two by an axe.
Bang.
In the blink of an eye, Duan Chou in mid-air was stunned and flew out again in disbelief. Vaguely, he only saw the giant man, who just hurriedly raised the scabbard.
This doesn't even make sense.
Struggling to get up from the ground, Duan Chou cursed twice, immediately blew the whistle, called back the figures of the second and third riders, then grabbed a horse, and quickly fled towards the official road without caring about it anymore.
Si Hu braved the wind and snow and chased for seven or eight miles before holding the knife in frustration and walking back again.
In front of Horseshoe Lake.
The dozens of riding masters brought by Duan Chou were all wiped out by Xujiazhuang's fury.
Xu Mu walked forward silently, took off a dead horse, and the two or three people who were beheaded by the owl. These people were villagers who were patrolling the small road. They were killed before they could return to the village to make an announcement.
"Master, whose people are these?"
Xu Mu shook his head. There were too many people in the inner city who wanted to kill him.
"Brother Tiger is back."
On the snowy road, Si Hu was holding a cleavage knife, his whole body turned into a bloody man. He was so close that he made a rare sound of urn and qi and directed at Xu Mu, saying something coquettish.
"Brother Mu, my body hurts."
Xu Mu's chest felt tight and he whistled hastily. General Feng galloped forward, then bent down from his horse's knees, carried Si Hu on the horse's back, and ran slowly towards Zhuangzi.
…
"That person is Broken Axe?"
"The surname is Duan, the full name is Duan Chou."
"I was indeed born ugly. I gave you eight days to practice unparalleled martial arts——"
A child who was rubbing his nose was grabbed by his arm and dragged down the stairs by his mother.
Zhuge Fan turned around and shouted excitedly.
"Good luck to the puppy. The dead branches on the north side of Zhuangzi are stronger. Don't spank the butt, spank the calf. If you spank the leg first, he won't be able to run away."
Xu Mu was speechless.
Zhuge Fan coughed and sat down again.
"That's right, he is the traitor called Broken Axe. Boy, you are in big trouble."
Xu Mu frowned.
Because of Yuan Tao's relationship, he has now surfaced, and the two closest marquises are bumping heads and preparing to decide the country.
One can imagine.
"Boy, it's time to think of something."
Xu Mu nodded, hesitated for a while, then turned and walked down the stairs. After walking around several wooden houses until he reached the innermost one, Xu Mu knocked on the door and then slowly opened it.
In the room, Jia Zhou was leaning on the wooden table, carefully writing down the account books. Seeing Xu Mu entering the room, he slowly put down his brush and placed it on the inkstone.
"Lord." He stood up, raised his hands and bowed seriously.
"Mr. Wenlong, please take a seat."
After taking a deep breath, Xu Mu was sitting on a chair, pouring himself a cup of hot tea.
"Lord, could it be that we are playing against the dealer tonight?"
"Mr. Wenlong also knows?" Xu Mu was startled. He originally thought that Jia Zhou had probably gone to bed early.
"I heard the sound of killing, but I knew that Zhuangzi should be fine, so I didn't go out."
"The person who came tonight is the traitor in the court."
Jia Zhou paused slightly and tapped his fingers on the wooden table. After a long time, he slightly raised his face.
"My lord, what do you want to choose? Continue to stay in the inner city and make wine, or leave the inner city and try your luck."
Xu Mu looked silent.
From the border to Tangjiang City, and from Tangjiang City to Horseshoe Lake, it was not easy for us to feel stable for a while.
"As I said before, please invite your lord to come to Shuzhou." Jia Zhou said with a calm expression, "It is not my lord's fault that the great era is in turmoil. There is no need for my lord to continue to stay in the inner city."
"Eight thousand tiger talismans, a thousand private soldiers notarized, and gathered refugees along the way. I only made a rough calculation. When we entered Shuzhou, there were about 15,000 soldiers and horses."
"There are not many soldiers and horses, but it is enough for the lord to find a place to stay, accumulate food, cast weapons, recruit soldiers, sit back and watch the world, and once he leaves Shu, compete in thirty states."
"Lord, the Great Ji Dynasty is about to collapse."
Xu Mu didn't know that guarding a small village in Ma Ti Lake didn't mean much. I recall that back then, he started from a small horse racing farm in Sitong Road. He had been wandering around and relying on killing lists to get such a piece of land.
At that time, the villagers who entered Ma Ti Lake, even if they were joined by gangsters like Hei Fu, were only a few dozen people.
"Mr. Wenlong, do you have a strategy for entering Shuzhou? In addition, the King of Shuzhou will definitely not allow foreign troops to enter Shuzhou."
Shuzhou, Liangzhou, and Yanzhou in the northeast are not completely dominated by Daji. In the final analysis, they are more like vassal states.
Inexplicably, Xu Mu suddenly thought of Liu Wu, the enthusiastic horse dealer from Shuzhou.
"My lord is wrong." Jia Zhou smiled slightly, "Today Shuzhou is divided into pieces, and there are three kings of Shuzhou alone."
"I think this is the opportunity for my lord."
