As night fell, Zhang Zhiheng approached the place where the Jingguo army was stationed in Luoshan City alone to inquire about the truth, while the other two disciples were waiting in the city for response.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhiheng had not returned when the time passed. The two disciples felt uneasy. Just when they wanted to check, they saw Zhang Zhiheng returning injured.
The two men hurriedly stepped forward to help and asked, "Uncle Zhang, how are you?"
Zhang Zhiheng supported the two of them and said anxiously: "Quickly, find a safe place first. This is not the place to talk."
So the three of them found a relatively secluded place. Zhang Zhiheng sat down cross-legged and adjusted his breathing for a moment. After his breath calmed down a little, he slowly said: "The martial arts of competing masters are so domineering."
The two disciples were puzzled and asked: "How did Uncle Master get injured like this? Is there a Grandmaster on the other side or was he caught in a trap?"
"No, he is not a master, he is a person in the same realm as me."
"One? Could it be that Uncle Master was attacked by his opponent?" The disciple was even more confused. Zhang Zhiheng, as a master in the realm of incarnation, practiced martial arts in the fantasy world of Youshan Mountain when he was young. His martial arts skills were very good. Although he was senior among his peers in the sect, He is not at the top, but his qualifications are by no means average. Even if he fights against people of the same level, even if he loses, he will not be hurt like this.
"It's not a sneak attack, it's a head-on confrontation that hurt me so much."
Zhang Zhiheng also looked helpless, but he had to admit that this was the case.
"this……"
The two disciples looked at each other in disbelief.
"The opponent's true energy is strong and his skills are extremely domineering. He is far better than me. Even though he is at the same level... I can only say that he is inferior to me."
"Uncle Master, what should we do next?"
"Although I haven't found out about the situation on Jingguo's side, there are such experts on the other side. We should go back and inform General Yang about this so that we can make some preparations in advance."
"I don't think it's necessary."
While he was talking, a loud voice came from not far away.
"Not good." Zhang Zhiheng shouted secretly.
As soon as the two disciples turned around, before they had any preparation, the arrogant zhenqi blasted over them. The two disciples were instantly shocked and their blood boiled. They flew several feet away and fell to their knees on the ground, vomiting blood.
"Are all the martial arts circles in Hao Kingdom like you? Sure enough, even doing some crowing and dog stealing is not enough."
As he spoke, the man slowly came to Zhang Zhiheng and the other three.
"How could you..."
"You think you can escape from my hands?" the man said dismissively.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhiheng rushed to the front and said, "You two get out of the city quickly, and I will stop him."
"Stop me? You overestimate yourself."
Having said that, the master of Jingguo had already slapped him with his palm, and the towering mountain suddenly fell down. Zhang Zhiheng's eyes widened in shock, and he was completely overwhelmed by the momentum before he could catch the move.
As for Yang Yunfei, the people who went to investigate still didn't come back with any news at midnight, which made him even more uneasy. There is no doubt that Jingguo will take action regarding this exchange, but it is still necessary to find out what means the other party has prepared in order to take precautions in advance. But now that there is no news or letter, there is no way to start.
"Brother Yang."
When he was feeling anxious, Mu Chengfeng came to the tent.
"Brother Mu, why are you here?"
"I'm going to make an exchange with Jingguo tomorrow. I'm not worried, so I came over to take a look."
So Yang Yunfei informed Mu Chengfeng of the current situation.
"Even Zhang Zhiheng didn't come back? For a master of the transformation realm, even if he encounters any danger, it shouldn't be difficult to escape. Could it be that Jingguo has set up an ambush? A trap that can trap a master of transformation?"
"There is no news right now, I hope nothing happens for the best."
Mu Chengfeng thought for a moment and said: "Brother Yang, looking at it now, we can only consider all possibilities. Are you keeping most of the Silver Armor Army because you are not confident about the Zhenbei Army?"
"General Yuan has always wanted to incorporate the Silver Armor Army into the Zhenbei Army, but the Yang family has always disagreed. In order to ease the relationship, I joined the Zhenbei Army. However, General Yuan has always had a grudge, and I was just being prepared. need."
Mu Chengfeng didn't know much about the relationships in the military, he had only heard about it, but there was nothing he could do about these things, so he sighed and returned to the current matter. The two discussed various countermeasures after the exchange. Since the exchange between the two countries is clearly reciprocal, there will be no action during the exchange process. Once the exchange is completed, the process of returning from the competing country will face many unknown risks.
The people sent out never returned, and Yang Yunfei waited all night without closing his eyes.
Until the morning, when the agreed time came, Yang Yunfei escorted the exchange materials to Luoshan City. Before he saw the other party, he saw several corpses hanging on the city gate, including Zhang Zhiheng and the two disciples.
Although several people had been mentally prepared for unexpected events, Yang Yunfei was still shocked by the scene before him.
At this time, the gate of Luoshan City slowly opened, and the Jingguo army came to the outside of the city to spread out its square formation. The general at the head was very familiar with Yang Yunfei. When he saw Yang Yunfei's eyes falling on the corpse on the city gate, he said with a smile: "General Yang You are well, there were some thieves in the city yesterday. The general was afraid of disturbing the exchange between the two countries, so he arrested and executed them and hung them on the city gate, so as to serve as a warning to those with evil intentions and make General Yang laugh. "
Yang Yunfei snorted lightly and replied angrily: "It allows people to enter the city easily. Luoshan City's defense needs to be strengthened."
"It's fun to close the door and beat the dog. What's more, there are experts from our competition in the city. What kind of trouble can a few thieves make?"
When the other party was speaking, another army came to the formation behind him. Yang Yunfei looked closely and saw that those people were not war horses. They were covered with brown fluff. Their round and huge bodies exuded a fierce sense of oppression. Just the low roars of those mounts were enough. This caused the war horses on his side to become restless.
Flying Bear Army! Yang Yunfei was secretly shocked.
At this time, except for the two hundred people of the Silver Armor Army, the remaining sergeants in the formation were already in a panic, and the horses were getting even more out of control.
Yang Yunfei raised his gun and shook it. The violent shock caused by the violent collision between the end of the gun barrel and the ground immediately calmed down his troops. Then he said in a deep voice: "It's just a few wild beasts. Hunters in the mountains can hunt them down. How can you, as a soldier, mess up your position?"
After stabilizing the morale of the army, he said to the other party: "Ge Zhan, let's stop gossiping. Today I was ordered to make an exchange with Jingguo. I have brought the materials required by the agreement. Where is the person?"
Ge Zhan clapped his hands, and a group of people were immediately brought to the front.
"Everyone on the list is here, and many of them are fair and fair."
After Yang Yunfei confirmed that it was correct, he waved his hand to the sergeant to accompany him to escort the supplies forward for exchange.
Arriving in front of the opponent's formation, while counting supplies, Ge Zhan suddenly said: "General Yang, you and I have met on the battlefield before, and it is difficult to have a chance to talk. Today, the Japanese general has something to say."
"Speaking."
"Although you and I are enemies, my emperor has special admiration for the Yang family. This is not only because of your bravery and fearlessness on the battlefield, Yang Yunfei, but also because of the loyalty of the Yang family from generation to generation. Even when the Hao Dynasty founded the country, he never thought of the Yang family, but Even your generation is still so dedicated to their duties, which even I admire very much."
"As the subjects of the Hao Kingdom, the Yang family should be loyal to the country. The premise of loyalty to the country is not for rewards. It is the responsibility to protect the family and the country."
"As expected of the Yang family, they cannot be separated from serving the country with loyalty. Even though the Hao Kingdom was established in such a shabby way and the royal family was so miserable, it did not affect the loyalty and patriotism of the Yang family. Do you think this is foolish loyalty?"
"Hahahaha, Ge Zhan, if you just want to provoke me, I advise you to save it. Yang only seeks to benefit the country and does not seek wealth. Instead, he competes for the country, repeatedly invades our borders and harasses the people, which is meaningless to all the people in the world. . Nowadays, troops and horses are mobilized more frequently, and the ambition of the wolf is obvious. "
"Your Majesty's intention, I and my ministers dare not speculate on, even if it is true, it is true. Our country cannot bear to see the people of Hao Kingdom trapped in dire straits, with no one to relieve them, so they punish the people and march south. , don’t worry about the trouble.”
Yang Yunfei didn't expect that General Ge Zhan would be so frank about his intention to violate the situation, and was indignant in his heart. However, considering the purpose of the trip, he was not easy to show his anger openly, so he forbearingly replied: "Having said this, Yang also has a few words of good advice. Please listen to me." , I have a vast land in Dahao with many people, I value integrity, and there are many talented people there. Since the founding of the dynasty, I have never bowed to foreigners. If a war breaks out, let’s not talk about whether you can win the battle on the battlefield. It's so fast, but one day I will be driven back to the north, my vitality will be severely damaged, and I will regret it too much."
Just as the words became increasingly heated, Ge Zhan's subordinates finished counting the supplies and reported that there were no differences, and the two stopped the verbal war.
Yang Yunfei picked up the hostage and put him at the end of the team. Finally, he turned around and said softly: "The royal family of Jingguo should still remember the experience when the Longyin Army laid a road on the red river to surround Jingdu, and the Demon King descended from heaven and burned the three armies with fire."
"Hmph, I still have military affairs that I can't send far away. There are many bandits on the border of Jingguo. They are fierce and bloodthirsty. General Yang must pay more attention to them."
Yang Yunfei ignored it.
Ge Zhan watched Yang Yunfei walk away coldly, and said secretly: It's a pity that Long Wanli and Feng Tianxing have died long ago. I don't believe that you, Yang Yunfei, can become the third person. Let's see if you can return to Jingguo.
Yang Yunfei took the hostages back to his tent and immediately began to make arrangements to return to Hao Kingdom. At the same time, he recalled all the people from each faction and informed Zhang Zhiheng and others of the bad news.
When he heard the news of the death of Zhang Zhiheng and others, the thick aura next to him suddenly exploded. It was Zhang Zhiheng's senior brother Qiu Hai who was emitting a terrifying aura.
"Mr. Qiu, the misfortune of the three righteous men of your sect was caused by my carelessness. After I complete the mission of this trip, I am willing to go to Youshan to accept my guilt."
Mu Chengfeng answered: "Brother Yang, you don't have to take the blame on yourself. You were all present when the plan was drawn up that day, but with Senior Zhang's martial arts, we would never have imagined that this would be the case."
"Since Qiu is here, he will naturally accept all consequences. The death of the three junior brothers is not General Yang's fault. It's just that General Jingguo is so capable, which is indeed beyond my expectation."
"Ge Zhan doesn't have this skill, but maybe he set a trap in advance."
At this time, a man walked into the tent and directly interjected: "Jingguo's army did not set up an ambush, so those people should have been killed by Jingguo's martial arts men."
"How does Mr. Su know this?" Yang Yunfei saw that it was Su Wenfang and asked the reason.
Su Wenfang explained: "Setting up an ambush can protect against ordinary soldiers, but it cannot protect against people with outstanding martial arts skills. People in the martial arts are good at climbing eaves and walking on walls. They hide in dark places and are difficult to be discovered. There is no trace to be found. It is impossible to set up defenses everywhere. But. If the other party is also a master, it will be different. Jingguo has indeed made a lot of preparations for this exchange, and even we have many martial arts heroes to help, let alone Jingguo."
"There is no doubt about this. Although we also thought that Jingguo has masters, Mr. Zhang is a master of transformation after all. How could he even have a chance to escape..."
Qiu Hai sighed and said: "Even in the same realm, it is not foolproof. My junior brother's death will not end it, but now I still want to think about how to leave Jingguo."
"Mr. Qiu is right. Although we have taken back Mr. Su and others, the real problem is from now on. The exchange matter is apparently over. Jingguo will never let us return to Hao like this. country."
"Brother Yang, what are your next thoughts?" Mu Chengfeng asked.
"Today I saw the Flying Bear Army mixed up in the formation. They must have made up their minds to keep us in Jingguo. The Flying Bear Army is so brave that we alone cannot fight head-on. More importantly, their tracking methods are different from ordinary people. It is extremely difficult to avoid the pursuit of the Flying Bear Army."
"Since we are already outnumbered, there is no need to spread our people further." Su Wenfang interjected.
"Yes, I just wanted to attack the east and west. I retreated in three directions."
Mu Chengfeng thought for a moment and asked: "The strategy is very good, but how to distribute the three routes, and how to ensure the safety of Mr. Su and others?"
Yang Yunfei replied: "So I have to take a risk. The goal of this trip is to pick up Mr. Su and others, so normally it is safest for me to escort him personally. So on the first route, I want the Zhenbei Army to be one team and let people Pretend that I am leading a team to escort Mr. Su back to the Kingdom of Hao. However, this team will definitely not be able to hide it from Ge Zhan and others, so I will lead the second team of 200 silver armor troops, still pretending to be a team escorting Mr. Su back to the country. . In fact, Mr. Su and others were escorted back to Julang Pass by Brother Mu and other martial arts heroes, and set off first to make the other party think that you were just bait. Mr. Su and others needed to wear curtains and hats to avoid being discovered by Jingguo spies. In addition, the Zhenbei Army has made arrangements before this departure. Once we arrive at the border, there will be troops to meet us. I will also ask the Yinjia Army stationed at Julang Pass to pick them up in advance. In addition, I have also prepared some letters to hand over to you later. Everyone, once you find that the Jingguo army is chasing after you set off, you can break up and have your own countermeasures."
"Brother Yang is a good strategist. When he pretends to be true, he is also false. He is not only making things in the east and attacking in the west, but also concealing the truth with one move." After hearing this, Mu Chengfeng repeatedly praised the plan for its thoroughness.
After everyone said that, they were ready to act according to the plan as soon as the night fell. When the others dispersed, there were still a few people in Yang Yunfei's tent who had not left.
