Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

The early morning sunlight slanted into the tomb, reflecting the tall and heavy figure of General Ming, casting a blue and black outline on the wall behind him.As General Ming strode out of the tomb, the sunlight stretched from his feet, knees, thighs, and torso all the way up, finally showing the thick black hair pouring down, and the face that was not angry but majestic; The shadow also fell from the wall to the ground, stretched longer and longer, and moved like a beast released from the ancient prehistoric, baring its teeth and claws under him. "Wu Lao, back away!" Lin Qing was the first to wake up from the shock, and shouted loudly.

Wu Youxin stood at the entrance of the tomb, saw General Ming walking unhurriedly, ignored him, and was not angry in his heart. He had already gathered his palms and was about to pounce, but he heard Lin Qing's voice in his ears, Touching General Ming's eyes that were as calm as a pool of water, he gave a cold glance intentionally or unintentionally. Even though he was always bold, he also felt an inexplicable chill in his heart. Although he was unwilling, he did not dare to stop him in the end, and made a wrong step to let go. Although General Ming came out at a leisurely pace, he had a rushing momentum, making people want to take a few steps back to avoid his sharp edge.

At that moment in the Nether Valley, you can see the green grass buds around, the trees and leaves green, the mountain wind is clear and moist, the spring is beautiful, the light yellow and green are everywhere, the butterflies dance and the bees are noisy, it is a splendid scene in early spring.However, the sudden appearance of General Ming eclipsed all the beautiful scenery of the day, even the light and warm brilliance of the dawn could not help but make people dazzled for no reason. General Ming walked out of the tomb and stood with his hands behind his back. Sen Han's eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and finally locked on Lin Qing, but he didn't say a word.Everyone only felt that his vision was solid, his shots were like being hit by a knife or spear, although his face was calm, his heart was full of anxiety.

Rong Xiaofeng knew that everyone was intimidated by General Ming's aura, so he forced his mind and shouted: "General Ming ordered the court officials to do such a sneaky thing?" General Ming smiled coldly: "Master Rong's words are wrong. Zong Yue met you all alone, following the rules of the rivers and lakes, how could he talk about being sneaky? If it is the Ming General who is in the court at this moment, you will be by your side early. It's completely surrounded!" Wu Youxin snorted: "Where is the mechanism king? Without him, I don't believe that you can enter the tomb without anyone noticing?"

General Ming said: "As soon as the army entered the Xiaowang Villa, the poison came without any harm. According to the plan of the mechanism king, the soldiers blocked the water, and Baishi and I went straight here. After unlocking the mechanism, after I entered the tomb, I ordered Baishi to lock it again. Organ, go back and hand over your orders." There was no movement in the tomb, as if there was no one there, but everyone was still dubious, they didn't know why General Ming would give up the easy and take the difficult, and came to meet them alone, could it be that his martial arts are really high enough to be sure to defeat them Is the joint attack of five people?

Yang Shuang'er said, "How did you know we were coming here?" General Ming laughed proudly: "Because I only left this path for you." The hearts of the people turned cold. Hearing General Ming's words, everything seemed to be within their expectations, and then they thought of the ability of the king of organs. The authentic exit has been figured out a long time ago, so no soldiers were set up at the entrance of Dujie Valley so that they can arrive here safely.Now that things have happened, no one dares to underestimate the king of organs, let alone the Ming general who has been the number one master in the world for many years!

Wu Youxin murmured: "What if we don't take the tunnel?" General Ming said coldly: "Then you have already been torn to pieces by the rebel army." Xu Moyang pointed his halberd and yelled: "Last time in Yinbing Pavilion you purposely reassured me, but sent another army to ambush behind the village. You obviously didn't want to let us go, but you pretended to be merciful, what is your intention? ?” General Ming said lightly: "That's right, I didn't want to let you go, but at that time it was too late to dispatch troops and horses. If I didn't stabilize your hearts, how could I catch them all in one go? Take a lot of trouble?"

Yang Shuang'er showed her double needles: "Are you talking to us now and delaying the time to wait for the army to encircle you? Just order the attack. If I don't fight to the death, I will not be a disciple of Wushuang City." "What a female hero!" General Ming laughed loudly, looking up at the sky: "I used to not understand, with Yang Yunqing's flashy martial arts, why Wushuang could stay in the important place in Guanzhong for a long time. Look at it now. Come on, if you have a girl like this, you should know that her teachings are good, and you should not ignore them."

Yang Shuang'er first heard about the martial arts that insulted her father, and was about to explode, but she also heard that General Ming admired him very much. "I don't know what the general's intention is to delay so much?" Rong Xiaofeng said seriously: "If you want to use words to move our minds, I'm afraid it will not only be futile, but also make others a laughing stock. I think General Ming has been dealing with officials for several years. Afterwards, I only know how to use the tongue.” General Ming didn't get angry either: "Master Rong's words are sharp, so I'll have to ask for advice some other day. I'm not delaying time. If you want to kill you, you only need to give an order, and the army stays outside the crossing valley. Luckily?" General Ming still looked suspicious at the crowd, and smiled mockingly: "I guarantee that there are no soldiers within five miles around, I wonder if this will make you feel at ease?"

Lin Qing finally opened his mouth, first he sighed: "General Ming Yanming is alone again, he really treats me like nothing!" His eyes flashed, and his words suddenly became cold: "But the general is too big, don't you know that the trapped beast will bite you back? , Survive in a desperate situation, I can guarantee that no one can defeat my five-person attack, the world's number one master is no exception." Since his appearance, General Ming has responded with a calm demeanor, frightening the situation with his own strength.Until this moment, everyone felt that it was a tie.Even if he still had to face the siege of tens of thousands of troops in the end, with the joint efforts of the five of them, even if General Ming could barely escape, he would definitely be in a panic.

"That's right, although I've always been conceited, I can't beat the combination of the violent cloud and rain hand of Hero Tomb, Wushuang City's mending sky and ground needle, Rong Zhuang's four-smile magic skill, and Xu Xiaodi's Xiaotian swordsmanship." Not sure at all. Not to mention that there is a hidden weapon king holding a stealing god bow!" General Ming talked eloquently, and he knew everyone's famous martial arts like a treasure, but there was still no fear on his face, and he looked at Lin Qing seriously: "But Lin Since brother dared to challenge me openly, yet he coerced the crowd to win, wouldn't it damage the reputation of the King of Hidden Weapons?" Lin Qing laughed loudly: "If you can die on the same day as brother Ming, it would be a pleasure. Life is only a hundred years, so what is a mere reputation? Besides, if you can get rid of brother Ming as an enemy in one fell swoop, I don't know how many people in the world will give it to me." I wrote a book and set up a monument to pass on to future generations..." He joked in his mouth, but secretly he gathered his energy for the battle, and even called him "Brother Ming" to strengthen his own momentum. "Okay!" Wu Youxin yelled: "General Ming is also the number one person on my hero's tomb, and let me, an old man, first learn the famous magic skills of circulation." He is simple in nature, even if he knows he is invincible , and do not want to team up with others to attack.Guessing that even if he died on the spot, he would consume General Ming's combat strength first. Lin Qing found a flaw in the flow of magic skills while watching, and his confidence was naturally a little higher. "Brother Lin laughed and talked about life and death. Mr. Wu is upright, and Ming admires it." Hearing Lin Qing's blatant threat and Wu Youxin's challenge, General Ming remained calm: "However, ants are greedy for life. Let niece Yang Such a young girl will be buried with us, but it will be a disastrous sight!" Yang Shuang'er sneered: "You didn't intend to let any of us go, so why are you acting hypocritical now that the situation is urgent? It really makes people laugh." General Ming chuckled: "I really planned to do so, but now I have changed my mind. Otherwise, why would I have to talk so much nonsense with you?!" As soon as this remark came out, everyone had mixed doubts. The solemn face does not seem to be fake, but after seeing his fake and real methods, no one can grasp the truth, so how do you know that he will not be another tactic to delay the attack. At the beginning, Wu Youxin was afraid of General Ming, but after going all out to challenge, he untied his heart knot, and he looked eager to make a move, and smiled: "I can't trust you anymore, so I don't know what schemes you have. If you are a man, come quickly to accept the move." His words were already blunt, and it was bound to force General Ming to fight immediately. General Ming turned around suddenly, the light in his eyes soared, and he shot at Wu Youxin like an arrow.Wu Youxin didn't let him take a step forward, and raised his palms to his chest, his old faces flushed suddenly, his joints creaked, and his white hair flew up, full of power.Rong Xiaofeng, Xu Moyang, and Yang Shuang'er also stretched out their figures, surrounding General Ming.Although they will not join forces to attack, once Wu Youxin is in danger, they will not stand still. The situation suddenly became urgent, and it was on the verge of breaking out. Judging from this situation, as long as you make a move, you may have to splatter blood to stop it. "Wait a minute." Lin Qing took a step forward to stand in front of Wu Youxin: "Brother Ming, tell me why you changed your mind? What are you going to do now? If you can't clear up our doubts, I'm afraid the six of us won't be able to get rid of it completely." retreat." General Ming's eyes were locked on Lin Qing's hands full of momentum, and after a long time he took a long breath, Ling Li's eyes gradually dimmed, and he finally sighed: "The way of martial arts is the most taboo of impetuosity, Brother Lin, in such a situation To be able to maintain a level of composure that never changes from the collapse of Mount Tai, this level of cultivation is already beyond my reach." Lin Qing was secretly shocked. He had been immersed in the art of hidden weapons for decades, and he was honored as the king of hidden weapons by the world. Calmness and resilience before the enemy.And General Ming can check each other's strengths in time under such a situation with swords drawn and bows drawn. This is the most terrifying enemy. General Ming waited until the hostility of several people lessened, and Fang slowly sighed again: "Brother Lin is someone I respect, and I really don't want to ruin you unless it is absolutely necessary." Lin Qing didn't make a sound, but Yang Shuang'er snorted. He let out a sound, apparently dissatisfied with General Ming's blunt statement that Lin Qing's martial arts were inferior.However, General Ming continued: "It's okay for you to send me a letter of war, but you really shouldn't be entangled with the rebels outside the Great Wall. Even if I intend to let you go, I still need to give an explanation to my subordinates." Xu Moyang couldn't help but said: "You ruined my homeland and slaughtered my people. To us, it's just to protect our own clansmen from harm. Why rebel?" General Ming didn't tell the difference, and only focused on Lin Qing: "Although the King of Hidden Weapons is famous all over the world, in my eyes, he is nothing more than ordinary. So at the beginning, I really eased your mind and arranged troops secretly, so as to catch them all in one go." He saw that Lin Qing was still calm, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "It wasn't until I saw Gu Qingfeng's body that I saw Brother Lin's cultivation in martial arts for the first time." Lin Qing smiled lightly: "But I know that I am not as good as you, otherwise I will definitely fight to the death with you right now." General Ming nodded slightly, accepting it calmly: "As the king of Dengping, Gu Qingfeng's body is light and vigorous, and he can change the air and turn freely. His legwork is erratic, his agility in melee combat is unparalleled in the world, even if he is an enemy, if he wants to evade, it will take a lot of effort to subdue him." "Xue Pomo hurriedly told me that brother Lin had killed Gu Qingfeng before he left. I only thought that the two of you faced the enemy head-on, and Gu Qingfeng was defeated and died." General Ming looked at the empty space, as if recalling the scene at that time: " However, seeing Gu Qingfeng's dead body lying among the branches, blood spattered Zhang Zhang Xu Fangyuan, it was clear that brother Lin shot him to death with an arrow when he was about to use the phantom fascination technique to escape, and the arrow pierced through the head from the front, it must be Gu Qingfeng's body Turning around in mid-air and refusing the arrow...not to mention the force of the arrow, just this ability to grasp the fleeting moment is enough to make me admire Brother Lin's martial arts with admiration." General Ming said again: "Xue Pomo's ecstasy pen is shaped like an ink pen, the barrel is hollow, and the tip is slightly curved. It is true that there is no way to use it to make arrows, but the strength of the bow is difficult to condense, and it is easy to scatter on the tip of the pen, but Brother Lin can do it. Let this pen catch up to Gu Qingfeng's swift and unparalleled body skills first, and then pass through King Dengping's desperate defense, and even shoot into the tree trunk as deep as three feet. The domineering strong bow..." He sighed, "Since Master Qiaozhuo has encountered such a difficult problem, if I don't try it myself, I will be a disciple of the Haokong Sect in vain." Several people listened to General Ming's eloquent talk, although they were not present, it was as if they had seen it with their own eyes.The subtleties of his analysis are even more difficult for ordinary people to think of. They have greatly increased their knowledge, and they are very admired in their hearts. The distance, no longer the urgency of just rushing to make a move, even Wu Youxin nodded frequently, forgetting to accuse General Ming of betraying his sect, how could he call himself a disciple of the Haokong sect. Lin Qing pondered slightly: "Brother Ming didn't think I was qualified to fight with you until now?" General Ming nodded first, then shook his head: "It's just that the current King of Hidden Weapons is still not my enemy." Lin Qing shot at General Ming with sharp eyes like needles: "How are you doing?" General Ming looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, and his words were full of expectation: "In time, if brother Lin can master the functions of the Sky-Stealing Bow and fully exert its power, he will be my number one rival since my debut!" To be so respected by the world's number one master, he sighed deeply, smiled and slapped his palms together, Xu Moyang's eyes lit up, Yang Shuang'er was tongue-tied, and Lin Qing couldn't help being moved.No matter how people in the world despise what the general did, such words from his mouth are enough to stir the hearts of everyone present and make it difficult to control themselves. Lin Qing took a deep breath: "But there is still one thing I don't know." General Ming smiled: "Brother Lin, please, Ming knows everything." "Even as Brother Ming said, he wanted to let go of me in the future, so he changed his mind and let me live." Lin Qing's tone of weakness suddenly changed: "But Gu Qingfeng, as a well-known figure in the capital, is another The prince’s favorite, since I killed him, I forced Brother Ming to let go of me. If you let me go, how will you explain to your subordinates? How will you return to the capital and return to the prince?” General Ming said in a deep voice: "It's not just that, Gu Qingfeng came here this time to take orders, it's really no different from an imperial envoy." Rong Xiaofeng interjected: "General Ming knows that if you let me go, you will be criticized if you return to Beijing. I really don't understand if you are willing to make such a sacrifice." Wu Youxin also screamed strangely: "That's right! It's not that we can't believe you, but this matter is simply unbelievable." "It seems like you guys are thinking about me?!" General Ming laughed loudly, his arrogance suddenly revealed: "What is Gu Qingfeng? It's not a pity to kill him. Besides, I hold the military power in my hand, and I am loyal to the country. The prince sees me He is also courteous and courteous, and he doesn't care about provoking others. It's just that the soldiers who attacked Xiaowang Villa suffered a lot of casualties. If you can't be captured, it will really damage morale. But I really want to know if Brother Lin can achieve the goal in the future. What kind of realm can you really compete with me? Brother Lin, do you know my contradictions?" Lin Qing's face was as calm as an ancient well: "What do you want, brother Ming? Just write down the road, and Lin Qing will accompany you." "Okay!" General Ming looked at Lin Qing with sincerity, "I thought about it, and in a dilemma, I wanted to make a bet with Brother Lin." "What bet?" It was also unclear how General Ming raised his energy and exerted his strength, his body suddenly swayed like a mountain spirit ghost, and he had already passed through the gap between Xu Moyang and Yang Shuang'er behind him.Xu Yang and Xu Yang were caught off guard, until General Ming passed by, and then they exclaimed, the weapon in their hands hastily shot, but the air attack was useless, and the clothes of General Ming were not even touched, and they were all stunned for a moment. on the spot. The hearts of several people were shocked, because the general's fate had no warning beforehand, if he attacked suddenly, he was afraid that someone on his side would be injured. "My bet is——" General Ming suddenly stopped retreating, and stood still as if nothing had happened, and looked at Lin Qing with piercing eyes: "I will stay here, do not dodge or dodge, and I can also take Brother Lin's arrow head-on !" quiet.Everyone was shocked by General Ming's proposal. He had admired Lin Qing's martial arts and the power of Stealing the Sky Bow just now, but now he put forward such harsh conditions for himself.What's more, seeing the agility shown by General Ming just now, I'm afraid Lin Qing may not be able to hit the arrow in a hasty fight with his bow in his hand, but now General Ming is only about twenty steps away from Lin Qing. It is not the best range, but it is indeed able to exert the maximum strength of the bow and arrow. Why did he make this bet at the expense of strengths and weaknesses? For a while, no one heard anything in the huge Nether Valley, only the strong valley wind humming in everyone's ears.Everyone has only one idea in their minds: General Ming either lost his mind and went crazy, or he has great confidence in his own martial arts. Yang Shuang'er spoke quickly: "So what if you were shot to death by Uncle Lin?" She didn't just ask casually, they had all seen the mighty power of the Heaven-Stealing Bow, and now there is a change date. With the arrow in hand, it is really hard to believe that General Ming can safely catch the arrow, if he is really shot to death, tens of thousands of troops will surround him to take revenge, I am afraid that both sides will suffer. General Ming chuckled: "Not only did I prevent soldiers from entering within five miles of the Nether Valley Square Garden, but first, Brother Lin could fight me with peace of mind, and second, even if I die unfortunately, all you need to do is wait here in the tomb. In a few days, the army will disperse without a leader." He stared at Lin Qing provocatively: "What do you think, Brother Lin?" Lin Qingmei raised her eyebrows slightly: "If I lose, will I have to wait for death?" He really didn't want to take advantage of General Ming, but if the safety of the five of them depended on him alone, it would be a different matter. Seeing that Lin Qing asked such a question, General Ming obviously thought carefully, leaving room for everything, secretly praised him in his heart, and asked, "If I can take the arrow safely and unharmed, do Brother Lin still think you have any hope of winning? " Lin Qing replied proudly: "Otherwise, if this arrow hurts you, we may not be able to keep you." Rong Xiaofeng and Wu Youxin looked at each other, thinking that if Lin Qing could injure General Ming with one arrow, and if he was captured as a hostage, it might not be impossible to break out of the encirclement, at most, he would fight to the death and destroy both. General Ming laughed loudly, everyone's eyes were blurred, they were all prepared for his sudden attack, but they saw that General Ming was still standing there, but there was a shining silver hairpin in his hand, and said proudly: "If I insist on leaving, Who in the world can stop it?" Yang Shuang'er only felt the top of her hair lighten, felt something strange, stretched out her hand to touch it, and exclaimed, the silver hairpin that had been stuck in her hair had been picked off by General Ming without anyone noticing. Several people were shocked, seeing General Ming's lightning-fast movement, they knew that what he said was true.Even though Dengping King Gu Qingfeng is known as the best lightness kung fu in the world, he is only superior in being able to breathe in the air and turn freely. If only in terms of speed, he might not be able to catch up with General Ming. General Ming showed a rather impatient look: "Anyway, you are surrounded by the army. Now that you have such an opportunity, you will try it anyway. Even if I have any plan, you have no choice. Where to go, please Lin Brother, make a decision with one word!" Lin Qing thought about the lightning flash, but he didn't think of any tricks that General Ming could have. No matter how you think about it, this proposal is beneficial to yourself, not to mention that General Ruo Ming's martial arts are really so high, coupled with his ghostly appearance. With a movement that comes and goes without a trace, resistance is futile.Immediately he made up his mind: "Okay! If I fail with one arrow, the five of us will be sent down by Brother Ming." "Brother Lin, please!" General Ming's eyes slowly swept across the crowd, seeing that no one had any objections, he took a long breath, clenched a fist with his left hand and hung it on his waist, and held the silver hairpin on his chest with the thumb, food, and middle fingers of his right hand Before, the expression was as leisurely as if he wanted to give a gift to his beloved woman: "Brother Lin can shoot arrows at any time..." Lin Qing untied the Heaven-Stealing Bow from his shoulder, put the Sun-changing Arrow on the string, looked up at General Ming who was twenty steps away, and said slowly: "Regardless of the success or failure of this arrow, brother Ming's move has won the battle." I respect that very much." General Ming remained silent, his eyes were tightly locked on Lin Qing's hand, and he forced a smile on his face. No matter how confident he was in his martial arts, he could still feel the strong pressure of the Thief Bow at this moment. Lin Qing raised her eyebrows, raised her head, swung her waist, raised her shoulders, raised her elbows, and twisted her wrists.In an instant, his relaxed and unrestrained expression changed to pious and solemn, holding the handle of the bow with his left hand, his left arm stretched out above his head, and the two fingers of his right hand holding the arrow feathers, as if holding a heavy weight. Slowly draw the bow away inch by inch.The left hand sank slowly at a fixed speed, and finally hung to the chest without moving. The Heaven-Stealing Bow drew a beautiful arc from high to low, and the end of the day-changing arrow aimed at General Ming's chest... General Ming also had a dignified demeanor, his feet were irregular, his body was straight and curved, his eyebrows were open or closed, his hands and feet seemed to be trembling but not trembling.The face is red and blue, and the clothes are not windy. What is surprising is that there seems to be a ball hidden in the clothes, rolling on the body, and finally congealing on the chest... Everyone held their breath, looking at the seemingly natural but impeccable movements of these two masters, they felt a heart almost jumping out of their throats.Can this shocking arrow with full of luck break through General Quming's magical skill of circulation? "Open!" With Lin Qing's loud shout, with the sound of the bowstring still in his ears, and with a mouthful of true energy exhaled from his mouth, another day's arrow flew out of the string, holding a bow that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye. At high speed, it hit General Ming's heart.There is absolutely no fancy tricks in this arrow, only unparalleled vigor, meteor-like swiftness, galloping aura, and fury of breaking the boat! At the same time, General Ming's left fist hanging on his waist suddenly struck out, and the onlookers felt that the punch was so strong and powerful, as if it was attacking them, and they couldn't help but take a step back.But the punching wind only gathered in one line, facing the swiftly approaching Sun Changing Arrow. The day-changing arrow froze slightly, but its momentum remained the same, and it still shot straight at General Ming's chest. . The arrow pins collided and the silver pins shattered. Although there was no sound, there seemed to be a "thump" in everyone's hearts, which lasted for a long time. On the other day, the arrow slowed a bit, and General Ming grabbed the arrow shaft with his right hand like a crab claw.At that moment, his right palm suddenly seemed to grow several times larger, even after dozens of steps, its white joints and exposed veins can still be seen. No matter how slow the day-changing arrow was, it still pierced through the gap between the palms, and shot at General Ming with the momentum of never returning. "Hey!" General Ming exhaled, his outer shirt was torn, and the ball on his chest bounced like a solid object, wrapping the Sun-changing Arrow.It was the gathering of the true energy in General Ming's whole body, if he still couldn't block the Sun Changing Arrow, he would be disemboweled and disemboweled immediately! "Boom!" Suddenly, everyone felt that the ground trembled, and the day-changing arrow galloping in the air suddenly stopped inconceivably, and the arrow shaft bent into an arc unwillingly, and bounced straight again... Then, in the air—inch, inch, shatter, crack! General Ming yelled, took two steps back, his face was pale, a trace of blood appeared on the corner of his mouth, his voice was hoarse like a clash of metal and stone: "What a domineering arrow!" Everyone was completely stunned, unable to believe what they saw with their own eyes. Although this shocking arrow made General Ming take two steps back and hemoptysis caused by the injury, the Sun-changing Arrow carefully prepared by Master Qiaozhuo was also shattered into pieces by his supreme magic power! No one knows whether General Ming has taken the arrow or not! Lin Qing also had a pale face. This arrow contained decades of pure internal energy in his whole body. Now that his true essence was exhausted, he almost collapsed. Seeing General Ming shatter the Sun-changing Arrow, his mind and heart were seized. It takes a strong will to stand up. Wu Youxin was stunned for a long time, before he murmured: "What is the outcome of this bet? I can't see it." In fact, General Ming said that he would not dodge or avoid an arrow, and if he said that he took two steps back, he would lose The argument is not unreasonable, but things are intimidated by the Ming general's magical skills, so it is not expected to deny it so much, so it can only be regarded as a tie. General Ming said calmly: "Brother Lin can make me vomit blood and get wounded for the first time, I can be considered a loser." Even though he said so, everyone felt very uncomfortable, Xu Moyang said loudly: "General Ming can go back to the barracks, I don't want to owe you a favor." Rong Xiaofeng and Yang Shuang'er also nodded together, they are all arrogant people, even if their lives are at stake, they would not take advantage of it.This battle may be barely a draw, but it would be unfair for Lin Qing to win. General Ming was taken aback, then looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "What did Brother Lin say?" Lin Qing's eyes were only looking at General Ming's feet, and he sighed softly: "Brother Ming has already made up his mind, so you might as well say it." "Okay!" General Ming smiled and nodded: "I will only leave one person behind, and the rest can stay here. The army will withdraw from the Geyun Mountain Range in three days!" Wu Youxin said: "If you need a hostage, you might as well take my old man. Anyway, I've lived enough, and it's up to you to kill or cut me up." At this moment, he admitted for the first time that he was old. General Ming was noncommittal, still looked at Lin Qing, and said in his mouth: "If I let you all go and return without success, I'm afraid the soldiers will not be convinced. Brother Lin should know my difficulties." Lin Qing still looked at the ground: "Who will be left behind?" "My army suffered more than a thousand casualties before Xiaowang Villa, I always have to give an explanation to my subordinates." General Ming said word by word: "Leave the owner Rong alone." Several people looked at General Ming in surprise.They all only said that they would keep Xu Moyang, but unexpectedly he was referring to Rong Xiaofeng.Rong Xiaofeng's body trembled slightly, thinking in his heart that if he traded his own life for everyone's safety, it would be better than all of them dying in battle.He took a step forward and was about to speak, but was stopped by Lin Qing raising his hand. Lin Qing couldn't see any joy or anger on his face: "What will happen if you leave Zhuang Zhuang?" General Ming turned to Rong Xiaofeng, and said with a straight face: "Master Rong, please rest assured. As a noble family in Gaochang, I will never make things difficult for you. I just want you to stay in Beijing, and it is easy to explain in front of the emperor. As long as You can stay in the capital with peace of mind, or be a purist in my house, and I guarantee that you will not have any worries about life and death." Several people hesitated in their hearts, they were originally determined to break out of the siege together, otherwise they would die together.But now that the general has such a proposal, it is indeed quite reasonable. Rong Xiaofeng laughed loudly: "Thanks to General Ming, I think highly of you, so I will obey my orders." Turning his head to face the crowd, he said earnestly, "You don't need to say too much, if you choose any one, you will gladly take your orders. What's more, General Ming promised not to kill me, so I should go to the capital to visit the mountains and rivers, haha." Yang Shuang'er's eyes turned red, and she wanted to say more, but she didn't know where to start.Everyone is also silent, Rong Xiaofeng's words are very true, even if General Ming asks to keep him by name, he will generously sacrifice his life for righteousness. Lin Qing made a painful decision: "Brother Rong, please rest assured, at least three to five years, at most ten years, I will definitely come to Beijing to meet you." Rong Xiaofeng laughed at General Ming: "General Ming, please lead the way. If you don't keep your promise and lead the army to attack here, I will kill myself as a thank you." General Ming nodded slowly, and then said to Lin Qing: "Brother Lin killed Cui Yuan and Gu Qingfeng one after another. Not only is it difficult for Beijing to survive, but he is also living in the rivers and lakes. I am afraid that Hong Xiuluo, Liang Chen and others will not stand still. Gu Qingfeng If you make friends with the prince, it will inevitably lead to the pursuit of the prince, so please do it yourself." As the head of the capital's criminal department, Hong Xiuluo, the head of Guan Suimen, specializes in arresting traitors in the court, and hunting down Wang Liangchen is even more of a royal arrester, arresting Qin for the emperor. commit. Lin Qing smiled lightly: "Brother Ming, don't worry, I still want to save my life to fight with you." General Ming laughed loudly: "As long as Brother Lin is ready, you can come to me at any time. I also have a bit of face in Beijing, and I can guarantee that no one will dare to touch your hair before the duel." What he said was not true. Falsely speaking, if Lin Qing openly set a date for a decisive battle with General Ming, even if the princes want to seek revenge from Lin Qing, they can only wait until after the duel. Lin Qing remained silent, General Ming took Rong Xiaofeng away, maybe he was forcing himself to let go, and sooner or later he would go to Beijing to fight.If the hidden weapon king lost to General Ming in a fair duel, it would certainly shock the world.And from now on, General Ming will dominate the world, and no one can stop him.From this point of view, General Ming's coming to Nether Valley alone this time probably has already drawn up a plan.Regardless of martial arts and mind, General Ming is undoubtedly an outstanding figure. General Ming suddenly slapped Rong Xiaofeng on the shoulder.Unexpectedly, Rong Xiaofeng was caught off guard by him. Everyone felt cold, only General Daoming finally showed his murderous intention.But there was a muffled sound, with a strange expression on the smiling face, still standing upright, but all the clothes on his body were torn apart, as if he had been through a fierce battle... General Ming smiled and said: "Assuming it was I who fought against you, I managed to capture Zhuang Zhuang, but I was powerless to prevent others from escaping. Zhuang Zhuan is so smart, I don't need me to teach you how to do it in front of others." Only then did everyone clear their doubts, and Rong Xiaofeng stroked his chest and let out a long sigh: "General Ming has such a powerful internal force, this palm almost killed me..." The big furniture smiled, and since facing General Ming, the atmosphere has been quite It was so easy the first time. General Ming didn't delay any longer, and nodded slightly to Rong Xiaofeng: "Brother Rong, please!" Go forward first.With an extremely complicated look in Rong Xiaofeng's eyes, he bowed to several people, and then left. "Wait a minute!" Lin Qing thought for a while, and said slowly: "Although the owner Rong is accompanying, it is hard to say that Brother Ming will win a complete victory when he returns to the teacher. Since I know Brother Ming well, if it is just to be able to be with me It is really hard to justify the fact that I lost my power in such a war. I would like to ask brother Ming to give me some pointers, so as to solve the confusion in my heart!" General Ming stopped in his tracks without turning his head, and said softly, "Brother Lin, why don't you think about it, how could you come here outside the Great Wall with a disposition like that of the official Wang Baishi?" Lin Qing was stunned for a moment, as if he had grasped some key point in his heart, but he heard General Ming continue: "Bai Shi didn't come to Nether Valley at the emperor's order, but just to accompany Heishan for a trip." Lin Qing's whole body was shocked, and he suddenly understood.Seeing that General Ming and Rong Xiaofeng are walking away slowly, after going around a valley, they are no longer seen. Everyone was silent for a long time before Yang Shuang'er asked, "What should we do now?" "Wait!" Lin Qing said firmly, "Wait for the army to withdraw." Wu Youxin sighed: "Actually, General Ming's vitality has been seriously injured just now. I'm afraid we can stop him if we fight together. I just hate that I can't do such a thing no matter what." Xu Moyang's mood at the moment is even more complicated. All his friends and family members died in the Battle of Donggui. Ben and General Ming had a mortal feud, but after this bet, it seems that General Ming is not unreasonable. , I really don't know how to face him, and even the hatred seems to have faded a lot. Yang Shuang'er looked at Lin Qing's still pale face with concern: "Although General Ming is injured, Uncle Lin is also seriously injured. What's more, with his unpredictable movements, we may not be able to capture him even if we attack together." Wu Youxin scratched his head: "But at last General Ming also knows how powerful the Stealing Sky Bow is. Seeing how powerful he is at the beginning, he probably didn't expect that arrow to make him vomit blood and get injured." Xu Moyang let out a long breath: "General Ming has been out for more than ten years, who can hurt him? It can be seen that stealing the sky bow has the effect of restraining his martial arts." "That's right!" Yang Shuang'er patted her chest, "Seeing that arrow suddenly stop in the air, my heart almost stopped beating..." Several people felt lingering fear when they thought of the short but unforgettable battle just now . "You are all wrong." Lin Qing sighed, "General Yue Ming deliberately lost to me in this bet." "What?" Wu Youxin stared wide-eyed, "Why did Brother Lin say that?" "Look..." Lin Qing pointed to the ground: "The fragments of the arrow neatly formed a semicircle, scattered but not chaotic, which proves that he has enough energy to dissipate the remaining force of the arrow." He let out a long breath : "I suspect that General Ming's injury is also fake, but he vomited blood to confuse our eyes and ears." Xu Moyang was terrified when he heard this: "Why did he do this? What good does it do him?" Lin Qingdao: "At first I couldn't figure out why he was like this, but in the end I asked him a question and I understood everything." It's terrible." Yang Shuang'er recalled the conversation just now: "Uncle Lin finally asked General Ming why he would let us go so arrogantly, but I don't understand his answer. What does this have to do with the organ king Baishi?" Lin Qing said: "I heard Brother Xu talk about the scene where you saw the mechanism king and the prison king. They wanted to ask Wu Lao about the skill of identifying heroes. You might as well think about it, what is the use of this?" Wu Youxin also said: "Yes, I am also very strange. The two Baishi and Heishan came to me directly as soon as they entered the Nether Valley. It seemed that they had planned to ask me about the skill of distinguishing heroes, so I told them Bet you can't get out of the Hero Tomb within two days..." "You have heard from General Ming that Baishi came with Heishan, and Heishan is Prince Jingshitai's favorite general." Lin Qing said: "If I guessed correctly, Heishan came to ask Shiying at the order of Prince Tai. malevolent." Wu Youxin is still puzzled: "The art of distinguishing heroes is not martial arts. It is just to see whether a person is rich or not. What is the use of such trivial skills to them?" Lin Qing looked at the distant mountains, as if he was recalling the intricate relationship between the capital and the capital: "Prince Tai is the emperor's younger brother. Although he is a few years younger, he was born in the main palace. When the previous emperor appointed him as the crown prince, he was chosen after several hesitation.是以这些年泰亲王虽是表面上服庸皇上，心中却是不服。只是羽翼未成，不敢稍有异变，但他却是极立反对策立太子，为此与太子几度失和。如今来派黑山来问物老的识英辨雄术，据我猜想，怕是要上谏另立太子，待得皇上百年后，他自就可以隐做太上皇了。不然太子一旦登基，怕是要先对他不利……” 几人听得心神不定，何曾想看似波平浪静的京师中还有这许多不为人知的明争暗斗。 许漠洋问道：“那明将军是何用意？他是支持太子一系的么？” 林青摇头：“将军府有水知寒、鬼失惊、毒来无恙等一流高手，更网罗了不少江湖异士，可以说是京师中最大的势力，便是皇上也惧其三分。泰亲王与太子若是羽翼已丰，最想除去的怕就是明将军了。”他长叹道：“明将军通观全局，深知树大招风之理。如果泰亲王与太子见他势大，从而联起手来，只怕他亦轻易应付不了。所以明将军此刻故意示弱于我，虽是于他声名有损，却也可先去人之忌，从而坐看泰亲王与太子相斗……只要我这个大敌一日不死，在别人眼中他就尚有顾忌，不能尽情放手应付京师中的权谋相争。形势越乱，对他却越是有利。” 物由心脱口道：“好一个明将军，竟然如此工于心计！他想做什么？莫非也想做皇帝么？” Lin Qing was silent.事实上一切都只是他的猜想，对于明将军的真正心意，就算是将军府的大总管水知寒也不会知道！ 他们便留在物由心那坟墓中，听得地面上人马来来往往，几日方休。想是士兵都奉有明将军的号令，谁也没有来此墓中查看。三日后，待他们从墓中出来时，数万大军果然全都撤走了。 四人在墓中闷了三天，此时重新呼吸到幽冥谷中清新的空气，浑觉恍若隔世。几人静立于谷中，心中均知道这一路来经过许多的变故后，如今亦到了分手的时刻。 “物老打算去何处？还留在此处么？”林青问向物由心。 物由心叹道：“我在这呆了几年早就闷的不得了，和你们这一路来打打杀杀来好不热闹，却是再也静不下来了。现在杜老儿死了，容庄主又被明将军带往京师，我左右无事，便去京师去救容庄主吧。” “不可。”林青肃容道：“明将军既然答应不会害容庄主的性命，定会做到。京师内关系错综复杂，一旦陷身其内难以自拔，以物老的心性，实不宜去那种地方。何况你这招牌式的一头白发，走到那里亦会被人认出来。” 物由心苦着脸道：“那我应该怎么办呀。” 杨霜儿道：“物爷爷随我去无双城吧，我带你去看看关中风貌，你定会喜欢的。”他转脸看着许漠洋：“你也一起来吧。” 物由心大喜，他这一路当杨霜儿如自己的亲孙女般，实是不忍远离，此刻听杨霜儿如此说，拍手叫好。 许漠洋却道：“我现在仍是京师中缉捕的对象，不能去无双城招惹麻烦。” 杨霜儿道：“有我父亲在，你什么也不用怕。” 许漠洋道：“我想找个僻静的地方参详杜老留给我的《铸兵神录》，何况巧拙大师既然传功与我，必有深意。”众人见他心意已决，也不好多劝说。 “不错。”林青拍拍许漠洋：“巧拙大师在地道中留下的那支箭被明将军震碎，只怕并非真的换日箭。待你身兼昊空门与兵甲派之长，或许换日箭便着落在你身上了。” 许漠洋重重点一下头：“林兄如何打算？” 林青淡然一笑，反手握住缚在背后的偷天弓，眼望云天深处：“我将云游天下，增长阅历，一面去找那真正的换日箭，另一方面亦努力将弓技与我本身武学合而为一。待我重回京师之日，便是正式挑战明将军的时候了！” 几人随着他的眼光望向天际深处，遥想未来，心中充满了那份不畏权势的豪情与斗志。 杨霜儿撅嘴道：“林叔叔你可要记得时常来看我。” 林青笑道：“你放心，我会经常与你们联系。也许我找到什么适合制箭的材料尚要请许小弟帮我打造呢。”他转头望向许漠洋，满面关切：“江湖上人心险恶，最好找个偏远的地方落脚，离京师越远越好。一旦安定了，可找走江湖的戏班中佩带月形珠花的女子，将你的地址留于她，我界时便自会找到你。” “带珠花的女子？！”杨霜儿奇道：“林叔叔你怎么认识这些人？” 林青一笑不语。许漠洋却是想到杜四曾提到过那蒹葭门主骆清幽文冠天下，艺名远播，是天下诗曲艺人最崇尚的人物，林青所说的戏班想必与此有关，当下也不点破，暗记心中。而杜四告诉他们京师中“一个将军，半个总管，三个掌门，四个公子，天花乍现，八方名动”这句话时亦正是在此地。如今景是人非，念及杜四音容，又想到容笑风生死未卜，心头不由一阵郁然。 林青似也是想到了什么，眼落空茫之处，良久不语。乍然清醒般一声长笑：“大家各自保重，我们后会有期。”也不多言，飘身而起，往幽冥谷口行去，数个起落间，终消没于林荫深处。 三人望着林青的背影渐渐消失，一时心间俱有些怅然若失般的不舍。暗器王纵是武功尚不及明将军，但为人光明磊落，行事缜密慎重，在气度上亦不逊明将军半分。 杨霜儿握紧拳头，一脸正色：“我相信总有一天明将军会败在林叔叔的偷天弓下。” 物由心喃喃叹道：“真希望我这老头子还能活到那一天。” 杨霜儿奇道：“物爷爷你可不老，待到了无双城把你这头白发和胡子都剃了，说不定比我爸爸还要年轻英俊呢。” 物由心哈哈大笑：“是极是极，到时候我们兄妹俩重出江湖……”也亏他顺杆就爬，居然厚起老脸便以“兄妹”相称：“就由大哥做主，给我的蓉蓉小妹找个上门女婿……” 杨霜儿不依，娇笑着来撕物由心的胡子。二人打闹一阵，却见许漠洋仍是呆呆站在原地，眼望林青离去的方向。杨霜儿想到他一家妻儿全死于战火中，心中不忍，复又劝道：“江湖险恶，许大哥还是随我们一起去无双城吧。” “不用了。”许漠洋长吸一口气，语气中充斥着一种不容置疑的坚定：“你们放心，我一定会好好活下去，直到暗器王击败明将军的那一天！” （《明将军系列》第一部《偷天》完）
