The lame masked man who suddenly appeared showed his great strength as soon as he came up. First, he had a head-on confrontation with the bandit leader Hu Tianxiong, the leader of Tianxiong Village. He himself was fine, but Hu Tianxiong took several steps back and spurted out a mouthful of uncontrollable blood.
Seeing that the masked man was about to continue chasing Hu Tianxiong, a bandit leader rushed out and tried to stop the masked man. However, the masked man seemingly swung the cane at random, knocking the weapon out of his hand. However, the iron cane did not stop, and directly hit his chest. Seeing that the strong chest was actually vulnerable, he was directly hit. Beaten to pieces.
He killed one of his companions with one move, and the remaining bandit leaders were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat. But looking at Hu Tianxiong who had not yet recovered, they could only grit their teeth and swarm forward, hoping to stop the masked man holding an iron crutch with their numerical advantage.
However, in the face of the siege of everyone, the masked man with a crutch seemed to be at ease, but the bandit leaders surrounding him looked embarrassed. Judging from this situation, they can't hold on much longer.
Fortunately, at this time, the leader of Tianxiong Village, Hu Tianxiong, who had the best martial arts, barely suppressed his injuries and joined the battle circle again, finally easing the pressure on the bandit leaders.
Chen Zhi stood aside and had a clear view. The situation was very clear now. Even if Hu Tianxiong rejoined the battle circle, he would not be able to resist the masked man holding the abductor. He could only let them linger for a while longer.
In another battle circle, dozens of bandits surrounded another one-armed masked man, but all their attacks were skillfully dodged by the one-armed man. Instead, more and more of the bandits surrounding him fell.
The strange thing is that no one even saw clearly the reason why these bandits were recruited. They only saw some people covering their eyes, some covering their throats and other injured parts. Caused part
Although the injury was still serious, Chen Zhi was embarrassed to let the masked man fight for him. After calming down for a while, he threw himself into the battle again.
As a result, these bandit leaders who had been encouraging and supporting suddenly collapsed. Within a few rounds, there were not many bandit leaders who could still stand there.
"Master, let's hold him down, you run!" The bandit leader Hu Tianxiong blocked the masked man again, and he could no longer lift one arm. Seeing that he could no longer win, a small bandit leader yelled at Hu Tianxiong shouted.
This shout reminded Hu Tianxiong, and he looked around the entire battle circle. In this short period of time, the soldiers had already occupied a clear advantage, and the bandits' defeat was inevitable.
"The wind is tight, pull!" Hu Tianxiong shouted, and then took the lead to break away from the battle circle and quickly fled towards the mountains and forests behind.
Seeing Hu Tianxiong start to run away, his minions also quickly abandoned their fighting opponents and fled in all directions.
"You northern barbarian dog still wants to escape!" the masked man holding the crutch suddenly said, and then waved the crutch in his hand, knocking up a bandit leader and sending him flying forward quickly, just in time to hit him before he could escape. Hu Tianxiong's back was far away, and the two of them fell heavily to the ground.
Hu Tianxiong, who was knocked to the ground, was obviously seriously injured again and could not get up for a long time. At this time, the bandits passing by Hu Tianxiong quickly dragged Hu Tianxiong up, who did not know whether he was alive or dead, and fled away from him.
The masked man holding a crutch was blocked by the remaining bandit leader and was unable to pursue the enemy. He had to calm down and fight with the remaining enemy. After a while, he knocked these people to the ground, but the bandit leader Hu Tianxiong had already Escaped without a trace.
The masked man holding a crutch obviously hated this group of bandits. He did not say hello to everyone, but greeted the other two masked men, and chased them toward the mountain forest. The three people quickly disappeared without a trace.
Chen Zhi commanded his soldiers to surround the remaining bandits, catching and killing them all. It took less than half an hour to restore tranquility to the valley again.
After waiting for such a long time, the three masked men did not appear again. Chen Zhi knew that they would not appear again.
Chen Zhi felt a little regretful. If such a master could be recruited into the army, he would be of great help to the army. But he also knew that since these three people came with masks, they didn't want to reveal their identities, so of course they couldn't join his team.
Military Advisor surnamed Hu is a discerning person. When he saw the actions of the masked woman, he knew that these people must have something to do with Ye Ying.
Unexpectedly, when he asked Ye Ying, he was denied by Ye Ying. The military counselor surnamed Hu did not force this matter. It would be completely unnecessary if he forcibly inquired about the identities of the three people and offended three masters who were kind to him.
The fighting prowess of these bandits is astonishing, especially the leaders, whose kung fu is outstanding. Chen Zhi had led troops in combat for many years and was very suspicious of the identity of these bandits. Some of the tricks they used also seemed familiar to Chen Zhi.
The vague words of the masked man with the crutches made Chen Zhi realize that these people were performing some of the Kung Fu commonly used by the Northern Barbarian generals. Now, Chen Zhicai understood why the masked man with abducts said such a sentence. It turned out that he wanted to remind himself of the identity of these people.
This fact made Chen Zhi nervous. If ordinary bandits were to pay back, since these people had a background in the Northern Barbarian Army, then this matter would be no small matter.
The Northern Barbarians were Daning's old enemy. They even invaded Daning's capital eighteen years ago and captured the then emperor and supreme emperor of Daning. This was something that everyone in Daning felt was extremely shameful and humiliating.
Although the famous Daning general Ye Fei later led his Fierce Eagle Army to defeat the Northern Barbarian army and even almost destroyed the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, the fact that the emperor of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom was captured is still a pain in the hearts of many people in Daning. .
Years of wars have depleted the national strength of both sides. In particular, the Xidi people in the northwest have gradually become stronger, posing a considerable threat to both countries. Therefore, there has been no friction between the two sides in the past ten years.
After more than ten years of recuperation, the national strength of both countries has recovered a lot, and the bellicose Northern Barbarians are beginning to make moves again.
Hongyuan County is a mountainous county close to the border between the two countries. Although it is still far away from the main battlefield where the war may be fought, if the war between the two sides is in full swing. If an enemy team suddenly appears in the rear, even if it is only a few hundred or thousands of people, it may become a key force to turn the tide of the battle.
Ningyuan General Chen Zhi had led troops for many years and had considerable experience in commanding operations. Of course he knew that if this matter was as everyone imagined, it would definitely be a very serious matter, so he made a decision quickly.
Chen Zhi quickly issued an order to mobilize another team from the military camp and enter the mountainous area to search carefully to uproot the remaining bandits.
At the same time, he also ordered all his men to strictly guard the captured bandits and not let anyone go away. They will be interrogated after they return, and only after their intentions are understood, a response plan will be made.
Looking at Chen Zhi and his soldiers who were constantly busy, although Ye Ying didn't know what happened, he also knew that this matter was not trivial. However, this matter was not one that he could participate in, so he did not ask questions like other children.
The matter of suppressing the bandits was left to Chen Zhi and his soldiers who arrived one after another. Hu'an Commandery Ma once again invited Ye Ying to go to the capital with him. After being rejected, he did not force him and just gave him a jade pendant as a token of appreciation for future meetings. Keepsake.
"General, do you want to send someone to follow him? This kid must be related to his three masked men." Looking at Ye Ying's leaving figure, the military advisor surnamed Hu said quietly.
"No, since they are unwilling to meet us with their true colors, they must have their own reasons. If they are annoyed by our tracking, it will be very troublesome." Although Chen Zhi wanted to recruit the three masked men, Chen Zhi also wanted to recruit the three masked men. You know, this is almost impossible.
Ye Ying was still in a very good mood when he left. This time it seemed a little dangerous, and he was slightly injured. But this is the happiest time since I learned kung fu from three masters.
After learning kung fu from several masters for two years, Ye Ying mostly practiced by himself. Occasionally, he would fight against wild beasts in the mountains under the leadership of his master. Only this time he was actually fighting the bandits, and he could better understand the magical effects of each move.
Several masters occasionally talked about some fighting situations back then, but this time he saw with his own eyes that the masters who taught him kung fu for two years were actually so powerful? Even the general who commanded tens of thousands of soldiers was no match for them.
Ordinarily, the masters should all be big shots, but why did they hide in such a remote mountain village for several years, accept an orphan like himself as their disciple, and treat him like a nephew?
As he was thinking about it, before he knew it, a small courtyard appeared in front of Ye Ying.
This small courtyard is not big. It is surrounded by bamboo and wooden fences and hay. The main body of the house is a few dilapidated thatched houses.
This house looked inconspicuous, but looking at this small courtyard, Ye Ying felt particularly warm in his heart. Because the courtyard is my home, and it is the only thing left to me by my adoptive father, Old Man Liu.
Pushing open the wooden door of the small courtyard, I heard that the small courtyard was very quiet, and there was no sound in the house. But Ye Ying, who has been practicing martial arts for two years, can keenly feel that there are people in the room. The auras of these people are very familiar to Ye Ying. They are his three masters.
It seems that the three of them have returned. The second master and the sixth master went to chase the escaped bandit leader, but I don't know if they caught them. However, Ye Ying was not worried about their safety. Judging from the fighting scene just now, a few more of these people would not be their opponents.
"You brat, you're back, let's have fun this time! You even got injured after dealing with a few thieves. It really embarrasses us all." Ye Ying had just entered the house when he heard a voice coming from inside the house. Come on.
Ye Ying didn't need to judge, he knew that the person speaking was his sixth master, among several masters. Master Ninth doesn't like to talk, Master Two always has a straight face and usually doesn't take the initiative to speak.
Strange to say, although he has been with the three masters for more than two years, Ye Ying doesn't even know their last names, let alone their identities. He asked several times but still didn't get an answer. After a long time, he I stopped asking.
"Also, seeing that my disciple's life is in danger, you have to wait until the end before taking action. If something goes wrong, your skills will be lost." After entering the door, Ye Ying trembled. Dust on his body, he said with a smile.
"You boy, you have been learning kung fu from us for two years. If you are killed by a few thieves, it can only be blamed on your lack of skill. Besides, these guys can kill people in front of us?" The sixth master was a little proud. said.
"Hey, you can always brag. It was the Ninth Master who saved my apprentice at the critical moment, and it was the Second Master who almost killed the bandit leader. If you were alone, you might not even be able to defeat the bandit leader Hu Tianxiong." Ye Ying said with a smile that in the past two years, arguing with the Sixth Master has been his greatest pleasure.
