Chapter 8 Chapter Eight Northern Expedition

The setting sun was about to set, and the sky was dyed blood red by the sunset glow.In the autumn wind, more than 10,000 burly men in the new military camp stood solemnly like clay sculptures and wood carvings. The weapons in their hands glowed dimly in the setting sun. Yun Xiang's horse-controller walked slowly in front of the team, and then rode his horse onto the platform in front of the team. Facing more than 10,000 pairs of anxious, dazed, and worried eyes, he said in a calm voice: "I believe everyone has heard that three days ago, the Zhenxi Army was ambushed on the way to rescue Beijing, and the military commander was brave. Martyrdom, the main force of the Zhenxi Army was defeated, and now the 100,000 Oirat army is rushing towards Datong aggressively. Datong's 20,000 army plus the new barracks, it is difficult to resist the attack of Oirat elite. It will be like a torrent moving southward. At that time, our fathers and villagers, beautiful wives and weak children will all be exposed to the iron hooves and butcher knives of the Oirats, and let the Oirats slaughter them. As a man guarding the border, he can make such a tragedy happened?"

"No!" Ten thousand people roared in unison, the momentum was astonishing. Yun Xiang raised his horsewhip and pointed to the north: "If you want to keep Datong, the current strategy is to use offense instead of defense, conquer Oala in the north, and use Zhao's soul-hunting strategy to unleash the power of Datong." He changed his tone: "It's just that our new army camp went north alone and penetrated deep into the hinterland of the enemy's country. The future is dangerous and unpredictable. Maybe the warriors here today will be buried forever in a foreign land and never return to their homeland; maybe we will die in the enemy's land. A drop of blood, fight to the last person. But Qingshan can testify for us, the sky can testify for us, we are not afraid to use our own blood and life to defend our homeland and surround our family! I will be punished! Whoever slaughters my relatives will be killed even if they are strong!"

More than 10,000 men raised their knives and shouted: "Anyone who violates our country will be punished even if he is far away! Anyone who slaughters my relatives will be killed even if he is strong!" Yun Xiang slowly drew out the sword at his waist, raised it and swore to the sky: "As the heavens testify, I will not return the tile until it is broken!" "Heaven bears witness!" Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, and the swords pierced the blood-red sky, and the voices of tens of thousands of people merged into one oath, "If you don't break the tile, you won't pay it back!"

With tears in his eyes, Yun Xiang slowly swept across the faces of the soldiers, seeing confidence and hope in their fearless, death-defying eyes, he resolutely raised his sword and pointed to the north, loudly shouting: "Let's go!" More than 10,000 recruits who had never been to the battlefield, under the cover of night, left the city from the west gate of Datong, bypassed the Ciwa army approaching Datong, crossed the towering Great Wall, and embarked on a strange journey with the ambition of never returning. And the dangerous enemy country.Relying on the rubbish and feces left by the wara army invading the south as a guide, go all the way north, straight into the heart of wara...

Tents burned in the light of the fire, bringing blood and fire to the grassland shrouded in night. The weeping and crying of countless women and children came from the fire, and occasionally one or two screams before dying, making the peaceful and peaceful The prairie has become a hell on earth. This was the first Oirat tribe encountered by the new army camp during the northern expedition, so unfortunately it became the first victim of the new army camp.There were only a hundred or so herdsmen in the tribe. Since most of the young and strong men were taken away by the Southern Expedition, they had almost no resistance in the face of the attack of the new army camp.

The soldiers of the new army camp surrounded the entire tribe. Under Wu Shengwen's order, the recruits under several generals rushed to the herdsmen who could not resist. They wanted to use the blood and lives of these innocent people to baptize the recruits under them with blood and fire. "Stop! What are you guys going to do?" Although Yun Xiang had anticipated this situation, she still couldn't help shouting to stop. Facing Yun Xiang's questioning, Wu Shengwen said calmly: "We risked our lives on the Northern Expedition to inflict the bloodiest and cruelest blows on the Oirats as much as possible, and return them in the same way, otherwise we will not be able to achieve the effect of besieging Wei and saving Zhao. If you let these herdsmen go with kindness, how could the Oirat army return home, and how could the recruits in the new army camp grow?"

"But, why are those women and children innocent?" Yun Xiang asked angrily with red eyes. Wu Shengwen said bitterly: "Why are the people of Ming Dynasty guilty? What is my father guilty of? The Wala people want war, so I will let them taste the taste of war! I want to use the lives of 100,000 Wala people to pay homage to my father and 100,000 people. Generals of the Zhenxi Army!" Zhao Wenhu also persuaded from the side: "Young master, don't look at these children. In ten years, they will become wolf soldiers and tiger generals who invaded my Ming Dynasty. As for those women, killing them can reduce the population of Oirat and weaken it. At the same time, it reduces the potential threat to our dynasty. War is so cruel. Either the enemy dies, or we die. There is no mercy."

"Yes!" Li Hanguang also echoed, "If we don't kill these people, they will reveal our whereabouts and strength. Once we are overtaken by the Oala army, we may be the ones who will die." Under the leadership of the general, the recruits used their weapons to stab a living person for the first time.Some of them were stunned by the splattered blood, and some were stunned by the screams of dying.Almost everyone couldn't help but kneel and vomit after the first kill.In the flickering firelight at dusk, the whole tribe became a hell on earth. Yun Xiang turned his head away and couldn't bear to look any further, Luo Yi and the eighteen monks who were following behind him couldn't help but bow their heads and recite the mantra of passing away.Although he knew that what Wu Shengwen and Li Hanguang said was not unreasonable, the atrocities committed by the new army camp still made Yunxiang feel a deep sense of guilt and hatred, and his benevolence and righteousness were tortured like never before.

The cries and screams of the women and children gradually subsided until they disappeared, and a blood-soaked horse from thousands of households came to report: "Young Master Yun, Commander Wu, all the Wala people have been dealt with, now there are thousands of animals left, what to do with them? " Wu Shengwen waved his hand coldly: "Take away what you can take away, and kill and feed the vultures if you can't take away, but you can't leave it to the Wala people!" The officers and soldiers of the new army camp continued to brandish the butcher knife, while Yun Xiang avoided the side and said to Li Hanguang, "Wine, give me wine!" He just wanted to use wine to numb himself and make him forget the cruelest scene in his life.

At dawn, the officers and soldiers of the new army battalion finally killed all the humans and animals. After a short rest, they were ready to continue on the road, but they found that Yunxiang had disappeared.Zhao Wenhu found Yun Xiang, who was tearful and drunk, in a meadow.Without any explanation, he snatched the water bag from the soldier's hand and poured a bag of clear water over Yun Xiang's head.Encouraged by this, Yun Xiang finally sobered up from her drunkenness. Zhao Wenhu pointed to the soldiers behind him, and said to Yun Xiang in a deep voice: "My lord, please take a look at these soldiers, they all followed you to risk their lives in the Northern Expedition, and now they are still waiting for you to lead them to complete the feat of conquest of Oala, and send They were brought back to their homeland safely! If you abandon them, maybe they will be buried in this foreign land tomorrow."

Under the earnest eyes of all the soldiers, Yun Xiang's scattered eyes were concentrated, and his eyes slowly swept across the faces of the people. Facing these warriors who followed him, he secretly said in his heart: If the atrocities of the new army camp can relieve the power of Datong, please put this crime on my head, Yunxiang.In order to save the people of the Central Plains from the torment of the war, I, Yunxiang, are willing to accept the most severe punishment from the heavens! After making up his mind, Yun Xiang wiped away his decadence and hesitation, stood up slowly from the ground, and waved to Li Hanguang: "Map!" Li Hanguang quickly unfolded the map in front of Yun Xiang with another general. I saw Yunxiang pondering for a while facing the map, pointing his finger at another target on the map without hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go! Get here before dark." The new barracks set off immediately, rushing towards another Oirat settlement... The Wala army who was besieging Datong, when it was about to capture Datong, suddenly withdrew outside the pass overnight on a dark and windy night.They left in such a hurry that they didn't have time to take away Yu's money, which surprised the Datong defenders.It was not until more than half a month after Watts' army withdrew that the imperial court sent troops to Datong to re-enrich the defense of Datong. Regarding the sudden withdrawal of Watts' army, the court was full of various speculations. Some people say that the Martial Commander left the Great Wall while leaving a surprise army, taking advantage of the emptiness in the country of Oara, and turned upside down in its hinterland; others said that a group of extremely ferocious beast soldiers suddenly appeared in the country of Oara, and they did not have much self-defense ability for special attacks. The herdsmen, women and children caused great panic in Oara; some even say that the military commander who died heroically at that time led a ghost army composed of soldiers of the Zhenxi Army who died bravely in battle, and launched cruel revenge on the Oara people... These The rumors made it difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and the truth became more and more confusing, but what is certain is that the Oirats were indeed hit hard, so that even Datong, which was about to fall, resolutely gave up and hurried back to save the country. As soon as Watts' army left, the city of Beijing returned to its former calm. Most of the bosses didn't even know that there was an army in Daming that had marched alone to the north. "Is there any news about the new military camp?" Jin Wushuang would ask about the thread sent back from Wala every few days. Zhou Quan took a step closer and replied: "The new army camp was besieged by the Oirat army on the banks of the Ramulun River, with heavy casualties. Although we managed to break through the siege, we have lost their trace now." Jin Wushuang stared blankly at the map, speechless for a while.Zhou Quan hesitated: "My lord, did we just give up the new barracks?" Jin Wushuang said indifferently: "What can we do if we don't give up? Although I also hope that the new military camp can return to the country safely, but now the Demon Sect has erected an anti-flag in the Central Plains, and our treasury is empty, so we can't fight on both sides. I am very grateful to the new military camp. The feat of the siege of Great Harmony, but considering the overall situation, we can't lose the big because of the small." Zhou Quan nodded, and said again: "I heard that the real commander of the new army camp is Young Master Qianmen Xiang, what is the meaning of his actions?" For the first time, Jin Wushuang showed a trace of bewilderment, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "To be honest, it's the first time I realize that I can't see through my opponent. What Young Master Xiang is doing is not at all like my opponent in Qianmen. People, his crazy actions of the Northern Expedition alone are really against the purpose of my Qianmen. It is really surprising that Yun Xiaofeng handed over such a disciple." While talking, I heard a noise coming from outside, and then I saw Pearl with disheveled hair rushing in with a child in her bag. Although she is a mother, she still has the savage and aggressiveness of the daughter of the palace. Two guards followed behind her, thinking He didn't dare to stop, with a pitiful look of being at a loss. Jin Wushuang waved his hands to order the two guards to retreat, and asked with some displeasure, "What's going on?" "Father! Save the new army camp, save your husband! Even if you don't take care of your daughter, you still have to take care of Jiaojiao! Do you have the heart to watch her lose her father at such a young age?" Mingzhu Weeping sadly, he fell to the ground. She rushed back to Beijing from Datong immediately after the Oala withdrawal.Day and night, she begged her father to send troops to rescue the new barracks, because there was not only her husband there, but also the person who had been treasured in the most sacred and hidden corner of her heart. "As a father, I will ask the court and the emperor to ask the Ministry of War to send troops to rescue the new barracks as soon as possible. Don't worry." Jin Wushuang motioned Zhouquan to help Mingzhu up.Mingzhu asked suspiciously: "Really?" "When did the father lie to you?" Jin Wushuang forced a smile. "Father is now considering how to speak to the Holy One, you go down first, and Father will notify you immediately if there is any news." After the maid helped Mingzhu and her daughter down, Zhou Quan asked suspiciously: "My lord, are we really going to rescue the new barracks?" "Do you believe the words to coax the children?" Jin Wushuang let out a green chirp, pointing to the map on the case and said calmly, "Our current strategic focus is on the Central Plains, and we still focus on peace in the northern part of Oala." Speaking of this, he After a slight pause, "The Demon Sect is openly acting, we must wipe it out as soon as possible. Now that I am back in power, I must let the government and the people take a look at how I govern the country like cooking fresh food." Zhou Quan nodded and said: "The Demon Sect has always been surreptitious. This time, when the imperial court was busy resisting the Oirat army, soldiers and horses from all over the country went north to serve the king, they blatantly set up a rebellious flag in the Central Plains and occupied Xuchang and several surrounding counties. Destroying it may become a serious problem." Jin Wushuang stared at the map for a long time, then pointed to the map and said in a deep voice: "Let all the soldiers and horses of Qin Wang march towards Xuchang in four directions, and besiege Kou Yan before he escapes from Xuchang. Rebels wiped out." "Young man, let's do it now." Zhou Quan nodded understandingly, and then hesitated, "My lord, this time the Oirats invaded, and the treasury has been emptied in order to send troops from all over the country to the king of Jingqin. Although the emperor agreed to levy special taxes, but It will take at least half a year before it can be collected. Now the imperial court still owes a lot of food and money to the soldiers and horses from all walks of life..." "Got it, I'm trying to figure out a way." Jin Wushuang waved his hand impatiently.Seeing his displeasure, Zhou Quan didn't dare to continue, and hurriedly bowed his hands to leave, and gently closed the door, leaving Jin Wushuang in the room to meditate. Thousands of miles away in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the Demon Sect soldiers took down Xuchang, an important town in the Central Plains, without bloodshed, and even erected the banner of "Suppressing the Qing Army and Promoting the Court".Although Yun Xiang uncovered the mystery of the magic fire of the demon sect's heavenly general, and at the same time exposed the lie of its heavenly fist, so that the only tens of thousands of demon sect members were restrained in the development of believers, but the hinterland of the Central Plains Empty, tens of thousands of congregants are enough to set off stormy waves in the Central Plains. Now the government office in Xuchang has become the command center of the evil sect's actions. Just after noon that day, a wolf-like man outside the government office door was beating his grievances loudly with his hands in his hands.Behind him, several demon sect soldiers who wanted to stop him fell to the ground in disorder, and said in unison: "Meet the envoy of light!" "What's going on?" Mingyue said, her eyes fell on the man beating the drum, and just as the man turned around, the two men's eyes met, and they exclaimed at the same time, "It's you!" It turned out that the man beating the drum was Ba Zhe, who has become Yanan's fellow apprentice, fought against Shu Yanan on his way back to Jiangnan from the north. "What do you want, Your Excellency?" Although Mingyue recognized the other party, her expression was still calm. I saw Ba Zhe put down the drumsticks, took out a letter of worship from his pocket and handed it over: "I'm going to pass a letter of challenge to the master of the sect, but my disciples obstructed it in every possible way, so I had to beat it Cry the drum of grievance." Mingyue accepted the letter of challenge doubtfully: "Respecting the teacher is..." "It's inconvenient to tell you the name of your family teacher." Ba Zhe chuckled, "But you have also met your family teacher. At the holy fire festival of your religion, your family teacher once fought against your four bright envoys of the Demon Sect." Ba Zhe nodded proudly: "Teacher wanted to fight the Master of the Yu Clan twenty years ago, but unfortunately he failed to do so. Now the Master of the Martial Clan is leaving the rivers and lakes, and the Master thought about this wish twelve years ago. The place is How about asking all eminent monks from Shaolin to preside over the notarization, and the time will be set by the master of the sect?" Mingyue calmly said: "I will tell the sect master and get back to you as soon as possible." Ba Zhe cupped his hands and said, "I'll be waiting for your news at the teahouse opposite. Farewell!" Then he turned and left. Just as Ba Zhe was talking to Mingyue, in a teahouse opposite the government office, two women in white clothes were looking at them from a distance, and beside her was a girl carved in pink and jade, constantly fiddling with her pigtails. , a pair of big eyes looked curiously at the pedestrians on the street. "Master, will Kou Yan fight?" the young woman in white suddenly asked. There was a blooming narcissus on her right cheek, which added a bit of mystery to her handsome face. It was Shu Yanan who changed his name to Shu Qinghong. . The older woman in white said calmly: "Chu Qingxia said that Kou Yan was stabbed at Qihai acupoint, and his martial arts were useless. If this is true, he will definitely not fight, but he will not refuse outright. His only way is to delay. Set the time for the duel in half a year, and try to deal with it after the Demon Sect has gained a firm foothold in the Central Plains." This woman is naturally Sun Miaoyu. It turned out that Tianxinju thought that after Kou Yan's martial arts were abolished, he would no longer be able to control the people of the Demon Sect. The news that Yan's martial arts was abolished caused doubts, so Sun Miaoyu insisted on sending a letter to Kou Yan to test him. While speaking, Ba Zhe came in, cupped his hands to Sun Miaoyu and said: "Master, I have sent the letter of war, now I am waiting for the response from the Demon Sect." Sun Miaoyu nodded: "Very good! You are here waiting for the reply. Qinghong and I took Xiangxiang around. It is rare for Xiangxiang to go back to the city, so she should open her eyes." "Good!" the little girl Xiangxiang cheered, and excitedly pulled Sun Miaoyu and Shu Qinghong away.She kept saying, "I want to eat candied haws and buy new clothes!" In her eyes, war is just a strange concept, far less straightforward and real than candied haws and new clothes. Outside the government office opposite the teahouse, Mingyue put away the posts, and after explaining a few words to the guards and teaching soldiers, she turned back to the government office.The yamen servants in the government office have long been replaced by two rows of teaching soldiers in black clothes and black trousers.Everyone was expressionless and silent, making the gloomy mansion even more gloomy. Mingyue walked around the screen wall of the lobby and stepped into the second door.She saw a woman who was floating in the dust and as beautiful as a fairy came out, and asked in a low voice: "Ah Yue, who was beating the drum just now?" There was a trace of tenderness in Mingyue's eyes, and she hurriedly handed over the greeting sticker in her hand: "Sister Sister It's Sun Miaoyu, the Tianxin master who hurt you and Lihom in the last fight with us. She challenged the sect master." It turns out that this woman is the Jingfeng envoy, the head of the four bright envoys of the Demon Sect. She took the poster and looked at it, and a look of worry flashed in her eyes: "Now there is no one in this sect who is his opponent, what should I do?" Mingyue smiled calmly: "Don't worry, senior sister, younger brother has his own strategy!" "What's your plan?" Jing Feng was a little surprised.Mingyue took a step closer, and said with a smile: "Now in our sect, only those seven old guys dare to ignore our authority, so we will let them fight Sun Miaoyu to the death. It's good that they can kill Sun Miaoyu, if they Being killed by Sun Miaoyu is also great news." Jing Feng looked at the bright moon with a calm face, and sighed quietly: "Ah Yue, do we have to make such a bad plan?" Mingyue nodded and whispered: "Senior Sister, since we have taken this step, we can only keep going, otherwise, even if we escape to the ends of the earth, the upper and lower levels of the Demon Sect will never let us go. The canon of the Demon Sect is so strict that you have to It's not that I don't know." Jingfeng Ji Lingling shivered, but said nothing.The two walked through the deep and winding corridor, and finally came to a quiet room in the backyard, knocked lightly on the door, and the door opened. Lihong, who was guarding the door, saw that it was the two of them, so he carefully opened the door gently. Open. Although the room is elegant and clean, there is an indescribable oppression and dullness. Two maids are serving Kou Yan who is on the sickbed and eating porridge.And the charming and charming Huixinshi stood by with her hands down. When she saw Mingyue coming in, a strange look appeared in her eyes. "Disciple Mingyue, I have met the sect master." Mingyue bowed to Kou Yan who was on the sickbed, her face seemed to be respectful, but there was abnormally no awe in her eyes. Kou Yan raised his hand and pushed away the serving maid, stared at the disciples and sighed: "You were all orphans, but I, Kou Yan, raised you up and taught you martial arts. I never thought that you would treat me like this today." , aren’t you afraid of our sect’s canon and heaven’s retribution?” It turned out that after Kou Yan's martial arts was abolished, he still had ambitions. He wanted to rely on these four most trusted disciples to control the Demon Sect, and took advantage of the Oala invasion to cause trouble in the Central Plains.Unexpectedly, as soon as Xuchang was occupied, the four disciples jointly rebelled and were secretly imprisoned. Mingyue waved her hand to order the maid to back down, and then smiled at Kou Yan: "Unexpectedly, Master would talk to us about retribution! Yes, we were all raised by you. But I remember that there were nearly a hundred orphans who practiced martial arts with us when we were young. , I wonder where everyone else has gone?" Hearing this, both Jingfeng and Huixin's faces flashed sorrow or resentment, and Mingyue's calm and cold voice echoed in the room: "Although you conceal it in every possible way, we all know that once you find out that those orphans don't have martial arts skills They will be eliminated and dealt with by you. From childhood to adulthood, we live in fear every day, practicing martial arts desperately in order to survive. Try to learn everything you taught us well. Yes, you taught us the most profound Martial arts, but why don’t you use those training methods on your own son, so that he can become a top master like us?" Kou Yan stared at Mingyue's cold eyes, and asked in a shy voice, "You...what did you do to Yuan Jie?" Mingyue smiled bitterly: "Although we hate the young master who treats us like dogs, as long as you are here, we will never dare to touch a single hair of him. This time he fell off the cliff and disappeared. It's his own fault. You But you blamed us and wanted to bury the four of us! Since you are so nostalgic, why should we be polite!" "I never imagined that the four dogs I raised with my own hands would unite and betray this old man!" Kou Yan's resentful gaze slowly swept across the faces of Jingfeng, Huixin and Mingyue, "It's just that I don't understand. They fight each other like wolves, and are always ruthless to their companions, why are they united today?" Mingyue smiled indifferently: "Because we are humans and not dogs. Although you raised us as dogs, we are still humans. We know who is our worst enemy. What is it if we betray you today? Waste, son fell off the cliff, this is the greatest retribution!" Kou Yan sternly shouted: "Aren't you afraid of our school's religious rules? You must know that if the seven elders and the congregation don't see me, they will definitely guess the clue, and then you will receive the most severe punishment!" Mingyue proudly raised the sticker in her hand: "Don't worry, I have a solution. This is a letter of challenge from Sun Miaoyu, a master of Tianxianju. You can't accept the challenge in your current state. In order not to lose your reputation, you have to order the Seven Great Masters to accept the challenge." The elder has ambushed Sun Miaoyu, so both sides will suffer, and the day when we control the Demon Sect will not be far away." "Don't even think about it!" Kou Yan said angrily, "This old man will never let you dictate!" Mingyue slowly took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, shook the porcelain bottle, and said with a leisurely smile: "If the master doesn't obey, then these soul-losing pills will have to be fed to the dogs. I don't know if the master ever thought that he would die from Own hand?" Kou Yan's expression changed drastically, his face was ashen.In the past few days, he has been forced to swallow a lot of Lost Soul Pills, and now she can no longer do without the Lost Soul Pills. Mingyue poured out a Lost Soul Pill from the bottle, and sent the scent of the medicine to Kou Yan's nose with the heat of her palm. Stimulated by the smell of the medicine, Kou Yan immediately felt itching and pain deep in the bone marrow, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his nerves.He tried his best to hold on for a while, and finally said in a slump, "Get your pen and ink!" Huixin immediately prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of her. Under the torment of the bastard Dan, Kou Yan deserved to order the next paper, and then snatched the lost soul Dan from Mingyue's hand, and swallowed it without hesitation. go down. Mingyue took the edict and looked at it, and said with a satisfied smile: "As long as the master cooperates, you can still continue to be your master of the Demon Sect, and let the disciples share the heavy burden for you." Sending the order to the seven elders, Sun Miaoyu will definitely not be able to escape the interception and killing of the seven elders. Please wait for the good news, Master." The streets at dusk are sparsely populated. In this turbulent time, too many shops on both sides of the streets in Xuchang City have closed their doors, but the hawkers who have to go out early and return late to make a living are still taking risks to make a living.But as long as these hawkers join Zoroastrianism, Zoroastrianism will no longer harass them, so they hang a sacred fire flag on their shops or stalls to show that they are Zoroastrians. Sun Miaoyu and his party, who had been wandering around the city for a long time, ate dinner at such a roadside stall.Dinner is very simple, just some common things like steamed buns, beef, dried tofu, etc. However, in such an extraordinary period, it is not bad to be able to find food on the street when it is getting late. The little girl who had been excited all day was a little tired, lying in her mother's arms like sleeping but not sleeping, Ba Zhe was chewing the last steamed bun carefully, following Sun Miaoyu for a long time, he gradually got used to these home-cooked foods.At this time, Sun Miaoyu asked suddenly: "Kou Yan said that he would accept my challenge on the top of the mountain in three days?" Ba Zhe nodded: "That's what that yin-yang envoy told me." Sun Miaoyu raised her eyebrows and plowed slightly, puzzled.Shu Qinghong on the side hastily reminded in a low voice: "Master, if Kou Yan has lost his martial arts, but agrees to fight in three days, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. Will he use some despicable means against you before the duel?" Sun Miaoyu frowned and said: "Although Kou Yan is a generation of demons, he can promise not to set foot in the Central Plains for 18 years. How can such a person be judged with a villain's heart? Although he and I are mortal enemies, we have never Doubt his mind and tolerance." Shu Qinghong said anxiously: "Although Kou Yan is extremely conceited, he has lost all his martial arts, and no one can guarantee whether his temperament will change drastically. This Xuchang City is now his territory, and if he wants to harm Master, I am afraid it will be easy. Let's leave the city as soon as we finish our dinner, and leave this place of right and wrong before we talk about it." Sun Miaoyu nodded, then shook her head and sighed: "I misread Kou Yan, we have to leave now, I'm afraid it's too late." In the hazy and dark streets and alleys, a few black figures gradually appeared, faintly surrounding the food stalls.Although there were only a few of those figures, the positions they occupied were very ingenious, giving people a sense of tight envelopment. Sun Miaoyu glanced at a few people, and asked lightly: "If my guess is correct, a few of them are the seven elders of the Demon Sect, right?" An old man with white beard and silver clamor in front of him said calmly: "That's right, old man Xiang Feiyun, I have met Layman Sun." Sun Miaoyu nodded, her eyes slowly swept across the faces of several people, and said with a faint smile: "The names of the elders have been heard for a long time. The old scholar on the left of Elder Xiang must be Elder Shi Baichuan Shi who is known for his tricks ? And the old lady on the right with a frosty face, must be Yuan Cuihua, who is known for being cruel and ruthless?" As she said that, she turned her gaze to the three people on the other side of the street: "The imposing old man in the middle is probably Elder Wei Donghai Wei, who is famous for his pair of iron palms? The fat cook on the left must be known as 'Killer'." Don't speak, talk and don't kill' the cold and ruthless elder?" Sun Miaoyu paused, and looked slowly at the eaves above the street: "There are only these six elders on both sides of the street, and the last Elder Feng, who is so wonderful in the world, is naturally hidden on the eaves." A coquettish "giggle" came from the eaves, and a middle-aged beautiful woman with a graceful figure and a variety of styles appeared from the eaves, bowing to Sun Miaoyu from a distance: "Son Layman's eyes are like torches, how dare you dare to treat me with such a little bit of morality, my little sister?" Show off in front of the old man? Feng Miaomiao has met Layman Sun." Sun Miaoyu slightly nodded and said: "Thank you all for being so respectful of Miaoyu, the Seven Elders actually joined forces. I didn't expect that once Kou Yan lost his martial arts, he would even lose his lofty aspirations, so he would send you guys to fight to maintain his invincibility His reputation is really embarrassing." A trace of suspicion flashed across the faces of Xiang Feiyun and others, and Shi Baichuan hurriedly shouted: "Sun Jushi, our sect master is thirsty for talents, and we have a deep relationship with Tianxinju. Back then, I accidentally injured my junior sister because of a moment of gambling. The master has regretted most of his life. In order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, and for the sake of junior sister Ling, the sect master specially set up a deputy sect master to wait for you. As long as you agree to join the sect, you will be the deputy master under one person and above ten thousand people. Gatekeeper." Hearing Shi Baichuan mention Su Miaoxian, Sun Miaoyu felt a burst of anger in her chest.She suppressed her anger and snorted coldly: "What if I don't agree?" Shi Baichuan spread his hands regretfully: "Then we have no choice but to capture you back and hand you over to the sect master." Sun Miaoyu couldn't help laughing: "Kou Yan is really getting worse and worse as he gets older, so it's fine if he doesn't dare to fight, but he still resorted to such despicable tricks. I want to see how you can capture me back." Xiang Feiyun and others approached slowly, and the pressure suddenly arose in the field.Sun Miaoyu knew that things could not go well today, so she quickly signaled to Ba Zhe and Shu Qinghong: "You protect Xiangxiang and go first, after I have sent these thieves away, I will go to Songshan Mountain to meet you." Ba Zhe nodded without hesitation and said: "Master, don't worry, this disciple will take Senior Sister and Xiangxiang to Songshan Mountain to wait for you." He tied Xiangxiang to his back, and nodded to Shu Qinghong: "Senior Sister, let's go!" "I want to leave! It's not that easy!" Xiang Feiyun stepped forward and blocked Ba Zhe's way.Seeing this, Sun Miaoyu couldn't help shouting: "Elder Xiang, it is me you are going to deal with, please don't make things difficult for my disciple." Xiang Feiyun sneered and said, "Layman Sun is as famous as Tianxinju Sumiaoxian. We really don't have full confidence in keeping you, so we have to keep your disciples first. If Layman Sun cares about his disciples It’s best to capture your life with nothing!” While speaking, Shi Baichuan and others had already surrounded Sun Miaoyu in the center, while Xiang Feiyun blocked Ba Zhe’s way, and there was a faint wind blowing above the eaves, faintly surrounding Sun Miaoyu and the others Trapped in the middle of the long street. Ba Zhe knew in his heart that if Sun Miaoyu did not get out of the predicament as soon as possible, he would not be able to let go of his hands and feet to break through.Without saying a word, he drew his knife in his hand and rushed to Xiang Feiyun who was blocking the way.Swords collided, and a string of sparks flashed and disappeared in the dark long street.Both of them took half a step back involuntarily, staring at each other with tiger eyes.With just one move, the two of them knew that this time they had encountered a formidable enemy that was rare in their lives.
