Seeing that the old man Tianqi was still attacking Baozhuhua, Jinyugua screamed in panic. He reached out and pulled out the nine-section steel whip from his waist, and shouted to the three Hou brothers: "If you don't want to compete, go away!"
Hou Zhong smiled and said, "What if we don't leave?" Jin Yugua didn't say anything, and swung his long whip and hit Hou Zhong on the shoulder. Hou Zhong turned sideways and said loudly: "What a barbarian, do you just take action when you ask?"
Jin Yugua ignored him and waved his long whip, using six whips to attack Hou Zhong's upper, middle and lower groups. Seeing the fierceness of the oncoming attack, Hou Zhong did not dare to take it head-on and hurriedly stepped aside. Jin Yugua took the opportunity to move forward and pass Hou Zhong. When Hou Xiao saw him, he stepped forward with his sword and slashed Jin Yugua's right arm with a move of "going to the meeting alone". Jin Yugua raised his whip to greet him. The sword and whip met each other. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his palm and almost lost his grip with the long whip.
Seeing an opportunity, Hou Xiao waved his steel sword and attacked his right side frequently. Jin Yugua didn't dare to block it, so he had to retreat step by step, cursing: "Gui Guazi, make a sneak attack!"
Hou Xiaodao: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I make a sneak attack? This is an honest duel!" After saying that, he attacked five times with five swords. Jin Yugua's right hand was in unbearable pain and he could not use the long whip. He could only dodge left and right. There was danger everywhere. . Upon seeing this, Yin Yugua pulled out a pair of diamond maces from behind and stepped forward to help. Hou Yi shouted from the side: "Do you want two against one? Don't even think about it!" He drew his waist knife and fought against Yin Yugua. Tong Yugua and Hou Zhong over there also fought with each other. Eight people and four pairs stood together in the Guandi Temple. group.
Pan Suxuan and others saw all this clearly outside the wall. Seeing that Baozhuhua was gradually unable to withstand it, Sangua was also entangled by the three Hou brothers and could not support him. Zhao Niantong could no longer hold on, and stood up to jump over the wall. . Pan Suxuan, who was next to him, hurriedly grabbed him and shouted in a low voice: "What are you going to do?!" Zhao Niantong said angrily: "Of course I'm going to help. How can these people be bullied by so many of them?" Zhang Yi whispered from the side. Said: "Young Master Zhao, please be patient. It is not clear whether these Miao people are enemies or friends. Besides, our mission here is to find out the truth. We should not reveal our identity impulsively."
Zhao Niantong said: "Those people have already started fighting with Old Man Tianqi. As the saying goes, the enemy of our enemy is our friend. How can we ignore our friends when they are in trouble?"
Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "We released Luo Rencheng and others from the house in order to find out their conspiracy. At this time, Jing Nian and Tian Qi want to attack Yin Nuxia, so the top priority is to find out the matter clearly. As for these Miao people, according to old man Tianqi’s tone, there should be no fear for their lives.”
Zhao Niantong wanted to say more, but suddenly he heard a loud roar in the courtyard, a steel knife flew into the air, and then there was a muffled sound, like someone hitting the wall.
The temple wall had been in disrepair for a long time, and most of it collapsed due to this collision. The people in black clothes in the courtyard were all shocked when they looked at the broken wall. They all had weapons in their hands and were ready to attack.
The old monk Jing Nian looked gloomy, walked slowly to the broken wall, and sneered: "Amitabha, Mo'er, when did you arrive? Didn't you even inform me?"
Chen Mo snorted and said: "Jing Nian, it is in vain that my Chen family has always treated you as an honored guest. My father and I respect you very much, but you do such a thing of betraying your friends to seek glory?! Are you a monk? Aren't you afraid of retribution?" Jing Nian said: "Now that the matter has come to this, there is no need for me to hide it from you. You can't escape death today anyway. I will let you be a clear ghost before you die. I was in Guang'an twenty years ago. I became a monk in the temple, and for so many years I have been working hard in your Chen Mansion, working hard, and making mistakes, all in order to one day show off my ambitions and realize my ambition. Now the opportunity has come, Old Man Tianqi has returned to the world, the martial arts landscape will definitely change, and so will your Chen Mansion. Disintegrate into ashes and cease to exist!”
Chen Mo shouted: "Idiots! My father has known about your conspiracy for a long time. He has dispatched 100,000 elite soldiers from the Jiangnan Camp to station outside the city. With just one order from him, he can wipe out all of you rebels!"
Jing Nian laughed loudly and said: "It's okay to fool others with these words, but it can't fool me. Your Chen Mansion's Purple and Gold Secret Order can only mobilize up to five thousand soldiers and horses in the Jiangnan Camp. To exceed this number, you must have the Holy Sage's Jade Tiger Talisman." That's it. In addition, in the past ten years, the war has gradually subsided, and the world is at peace. The late emperor and the emperor have repeatedly issued orders to reduce military expenditures and reduce the number of soldiers. The Jiangnan camp claims to have 100,000 elite soldiers, but you still don't know how many troops there are. ?!”
Jing Nian's words met Chen Mo's concerns. Jiangnan had been peaceful and without war for more than ten years. It was not a long-term solution to maintain more than 100,000 soldiers and horses like this. Therefore, when the late emperor was in power, he reduced the number of soldiers and horses in the Jiangnan camp to eight. Ten thousand. After the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, a famine broke out in the north, and the imperial court allocated funds for disaster relief, which led to a tight supply of the treasury. The Holy Emperor ordered to reduce the number of troops across the country again. Now there are less than 50,000 soldiers and horses in the Jiangnan camp. The claim of 100,000 elite troops is just to deceive others. Unexpectedly, Jing Nian would know such confidential military information. Chen Mo was so shocked that he stood speechless on the spot.
Zhao Niantong shouted from the side: "Old bald donkey, I have long seen that you are sneaky and don't look like a good person. Today you have really shown your true colors. Stop talking nonsense and risk your life!" After saying this, he unsheathed his sword and stepped forward.
Jing Nian waved his hand and said: "Don't rush to take action yet. If I guess correctly, you are Zhao Niantong, the red-clothed chief disciple of Caixia Palace, and the young man in white next to you should be Pan Suxuan, one of the top ten protectors, right?"
Both Pan and Zhao were surprised. Zhao Niantong asked: "How did you know?!" Jingnian smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about it. Your White House master asked me to send you a message to advise you to return when you are lost. Return to the palace quickly, otherwise you will be severely punished according to the palace regulations."
Pan Suxuan frowned when he heard this, and thought to himself: "As expected, the master ordered us to go down the mountain to deliver the message, and the palace master did not know about it. What should we do now? Should we obey the palace master's order and return to the palace?"
Zhao Niantong giggled and said, "Everyone says that my family doesn't tell lies, but you, a bald donkey, have repeatedly violated the precepts. I think you will go to forehead and nose hell after death." Jing Nian said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Zhao Niantong said: "Am I talking nonsense? Think about our status as the Palace Master of Caixia Palace, with countless masters and talented people under his command, how could we ask an unknown bald donkey like you to pass on the message? Even if the Palace Master knows about this, he will He will definitely support us in doing chivalry, punishing evil and promoting good, so how can he punish us? Oh, I know, you must be saying this because you are afraid that we will take your life. Don’t worry, if you change your ways now and step back from the brink, Pan Shaoxia and I share a good life, so what if we just open up the fence and spare your life?!"
After hearing this, Jing Nian became furious and shouted: "Good boy, you don't want to live anymore, I'll make it happen for you!"
