Chapter 30 Chapter thirty

Seeing that he didn't speak, An Qingxu turned to the man in the robe and asked, "General Lin, will you surrender or not?" The young man in the robe was surnamed Lin, named Hong, and lost his parents when he was young. After joining the army, Zhang Chengming single-handedly promoted him to become a lower-ranking general in the Zhang clan. Although he was not a member of the Zhang clan, he was loyal and loyal. He raised his chest and said proudly: "Your father and son are so despicable and shameless. They killed my lord under the pretext of a wedding, and Lin swears that he will not surrender!" Shen Sheng asked the left and right: "What do you think of the generals?" Zhang Chengming's father and son's most trustworthy confidantes all said at once: "I will follow the general, and I would rather die than surrender!"

Lin Hong praised incessantly: "Good! There are still 30,000 troops of the Lord in the suburbs of Chang'an, and he will surely avenge this deep revenge in the future!" An Qingxu didn't say any more, and waved his hands decisively. The two sides confronted each other, each taking their own masters, and immediately scuffled, screaming and fighting filled the air.The gate of Bieyuan mansion is a small place, the two sides are fighting, blood is spattered five steps, every step is shocking. An Qingxu watched with his hands behind his back, like a cat catching a mouse, allowing the weak and leaderless Zhang family to struggle to death.If there is another incense stick of kung fu, thousands of backup troops will also rush here.In fact, there is no need for extra soldiers and horses at all, and it is already easy to catch a turtle in the urn at this time.

Lin Hongyang chopped down the two enemies attacking in front of him with his sword, and whispered to the guard beside him: "We must fight a bloody road and escort the young lady out of the city." As soon as the reinforcements arrived, they surrounded the Prince's Bieyuan. Being trapped in the mansion, it was difficult to fly. Only when the two sides were fighting, broke out of the encirclement, could there be a possibility of escape.At this time, Xue Hong saw the tricks, and saw the sword blocking the sword. Although dozens of people pointed their swords at Shen Zhenzhu, she played it lightly and turned the dangerous move into invisible.

Although the strength of the two sides is very different, Zhang's soldiers and guards have the heart to fight to the death, and they are fighting desperately everywhere. An Qingxu's men did not gain the upper hand for a while.Lin Hong was even braver, moving his sword like the wind. Five or six soldiers rushed out to intercept him, and they were knocked to the ground by him. More than ten soldiers rushed forward. With his toes pointing, he jumped up on the ground and flew in mid-air. He rushed down, grabbed the leading guard, raised his head high, and used his body as a weapon. A whirlwind swung in a circle, instantly sweeping down a group of guards in front of him.

An Qingxu frowned slightly, and seemed to have heard the sound of backup flying cavalry rushing towards him from a distance.At this time, there are only two or three hundred people in the area, if he hasn't won yet, wouldn't it insult his reputation if it spread? As soon as a thought was born, he drew his sword and slammed into the air, pointing directly at Lin Hong: "General Lin, let me learn the best tricks!" When Lin Hong saw An Qingxu's sword coming, he frantically defended it with his sword.Back and forth, more than ten strokes were dismantled, and he tried his best. He is a general on horseback. Fighting against the enemy before the battle and fighting against a master are two different things. Forgive him for his extraordinary arm strength, and he is not An Qingxu in terms of swordsmanship. opponent.

After two more moves in the fight, Lin Hong was hit by a sword in his arm, bleeding profusely, but he still gritted his teeth and held on.An Qingxu did not let go, the sword was turbulent and cunning, and his moves were life-threatening. Lin Hong was flustered, and in the blink of an eye, he was also hit by a sword in his lower abdomen. , the long sword flicked and stabbed at his chest. Suddenly hearing the sound of "ding", An Qingxu's long sword swung, the tip of the sword missed its aim, and it barely missed Lin Hong's arm, and a golden hairpin fell to the ground at the same time.Xue Hong found her slender feet hooked lightly, the gold hairpin leaped into the air, fell back into her hand, and inserted the gold hairpin back into her hair with a smile.

An Qingxu was shocked, this little girl must not be taken lightly. The sound of the iron hooves of the soldiers and horses from West Street came, and Xue Song was anxious: "Hong Xian, stop messing around and go back to Dad. The King of Jin will not blame you for seeing that you are young. The brigade of soldiers and horses will be here soon. Daddy can’t save—!” Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the wind in his ear, and he stroked his hand, and a shiny object appeared in the palm of his hand, Xue Hong has now said: "Daddy, I have been living in your house for five years The time has come, now is the time to return to the mountain according to the order of the teacher, the gold medal that father gave Hongxian back then, the original will be returned, from now on, the sky will be high, and Hongxian will have nothing to do with General Xue Song."

Although Xue Song knew that this "daughter" was different from ordinary people, she came as soon as she said it back then, and left as soon as she said she wanted to leave today. Shenlong sees the head but doesn't see the end, so resolute and happy, erasing the past seems to relieve his worries, but I still feel a little unhappy.Hearing An Qingxu say: "Your daughter no longer recognizes you, General Xue, why do you have any hesitation?" Xue Song shook his heart, and the wealth and glory finally gained the upper hand in his heart. Xian: "Hongxian, since this is the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Xue Hongxian smiled slightly, supported Shen Zhenzhu with one hand, and pulled out the small sword at his waist with the other to resist Xue Song's attack.Although Xue Song's attack was fierce and his swordsmanship was like a storm, his martial arts were indeed too far away from Xue Hongxian's. He attacked dozens of swords in a row, and he couldn't get close at all.

Lin Hong supported himself with his sword, and sneered at An Qingxu in pain, "No matter how many soldiers you have, you can only kill a few hundred of me—if the 30,000 soldiers under my lord's command enter Chang'an City in one fell swoop, let's see if you can sit on the dragon seat." Stay safe!" An Qingxu looked up to the sky and laughed, and finally raised his eyebrows and said: "Since we have set up this situation, how could we be willing to abandon tens of thousands of soldiers and horses? Don't worry—Zhang Chengming's soldiers and horses in the suburbs drank the wedding wine prepared by His Majesty himself , has now been taken over by Yan Zhuangyan, the doctor of the imperial censor!"

Lin Hong's complexion suddenly changed, he knew that what An Qingxu said was true, and he did not deceive him.His father and son worked so hard to make changes on the day of their wedding, all for the 30,000 soldiers and horses in the suburbs.Hearing An Qingxu's words, he thought that someone had already arranged for people to put medicine in the fine wine given by the emperor, and after the soldiers and horses were overthrown, Zhang Chengming's direct line generals would be captured. The 30,000 soldiers and horses had no leader, so naturally they had no choice but to submit to Anlu Mountain.

Amidst the sound of talking and fighting, the smoke and dust swept the ground, the sound of blares roared, and the ground shook in all directions, and a mass of black horses galloped from the West Street, like a wind and thunder, with a violent momentum. An Qingxu was slightly happy at the beginning, but then his face was stern - the iron cavalry who came from all over the world did not have banners, and their costumes were not the flying cavalry under his command. Lin Hong let out a "Hey", suddenly his eyes brightened, and he burst out laughing, before he finished laughing, he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. Iron cavalry came galloping, and in an instant they had arrived at the main gate of Bieyuan. Dozens of cavalry in the front neighed, and the sound shook the sky. Hearing the long cry of a war horse again, a horse riding out like a gust of wind, surrounded by knights in fine clothes, raised the rein and reined in the horse, the horseman stood up, his hind hooves scrambled, and turned the horse's head in mid-air, the horseman was still as stable as Mount Tai, with an expression Calmly, with all four hooves on the ground, standing in the middle of the road—short brocade clothes, riding a horse like the wind, long hair flying like a wind streamer, wearing a long sword at the waist, glamorous and unparalleled, An Qingxubingwei's eyes were staring straight at the scene . An Qingxu called out in surprise: "Zhang Hanruo?!——" It was Zhang Hanruo who came. At this time, not only An Qingxu was surprised, but even Xue Hongxian, Lin Hong and the surviving Zhang's soldiers were all pleasantly surprised—the person in front of him is Zhang Hanruo, so who is this newlywed?The fierce fighting between the two sides gradually stopped. An Qingxu was the first to react, and flew up, piercing Changhong with a sword, and was about to provoke the red hijab of the newlyweds. Xue Hongxian turned around to stop him, but he was one step too late. The big red hijab was thrown away with a "huo", and it fell to the ground.An Qingxu's long sword went straight to the face of the "Newlywed", but stopped abruptly. Under the beaded crown of gold and jade, Shen Zhenzhu's face was slightly flushed, and her eyes were blurred and unreal, as if she was looking at An Qingxu. An Qingxu gasped sharply, with a calm expression on his face, but his heart was like being hit by a deer, there was something jumping in his chest, unable to settle down, but he tried his best to remain calm, so as not to be laughed at by others. The long sword was soaked in blood, and the blade shone bewitchingly in the bright sunlight. This is the second time he has compared her with a sword. On that day, he could wave his sword to break his love and stab her under the sword.However, at this moment, he clearly understood in his heart——this sword, he can no longer stab it. Xue Hongxian yelled: "Sister Shen!" With a flick of the finger, An Qingxu's sword tip was deflected with a "dang", An Qingxu suddenly recovered, turned around and retracted the sword, and asked Zhang Hanruo who was on the horse: "What are you using?" What plan? What idea?" At this time, Zhang Hanruo saw the corpses of his father and brother among the corpses in front of the gate of Bieyuan. He screamed, tears poured down like rain, and his horse was on the verge of collapsing. Seeing this, Lin Hong shouted loudly: "Miss, both the lord and the young master were killed by the bandits, this is not the time to be sad, the young lady wants to avenge the lord and the young master!" Ever since Zhang Hanruo drugged Shen Zhenzhu to marry her, she thought that there were many soldiers close to her in the Zhang family's garrison on the outskirts of Beijing, so why not go there for a while and return to the Prince's Garden after the wedding is completed and the boat is done.On the way to the camp alone, she inadvertently caught sight of Yan Zhuang leading the men and plotting to usurp Zhang's military power after the sergeant was overwhelmed by medicine.She rushed to report, but by the time she arrived, most of the sergeants had already drank the drugged wine and were staggering, only a few thousand elite soldiers returned from patrolling and hadn't drunk yet.Zhang Hanruo knew that something was wrong and had no time to settle down the bewitched sergeant, so he immediately led thousands of elite soldiers on horseback to avoid Yan Zhuang's men and horses, and rushed to the Prince's Garden, but it was a step too late after all.At this moment, Yan Zhuang thinks he has taken over Zhang's remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses in the suburbs, and he has won a great service. Zhang Hanruo suppressed the grief, wiped away the tears from his face, drew his long sword out of its sheath, pointed at An Qingxu and cursed: "Your father and son are so vicious, my Zhang family is full of family, what's the right thing, what's right?" Can't stay with you?" An Qingxu smiled coldly: "I have lived up to my promise with you. If you act like this, the wedding will naturally fail. You don't need to marry me, isn't it just right?" Zhang Hanruo was full of remorse, knowing that Shen Zhenzhu was in a daze and couldn't hear her words clearly, he still shouted loudly at Shen Zhenzhu: "Sister Shen, it's all Hanruo's fault, I'll save you!" An Qingxu interrupted her: "Don't even think about it! Since she has put on the phoenix coronet, she is my An Qingxu's wife. This is God's will, and you can't help her!" He looked at Shen Zhenzhu lightly, and sighed in his heart In one breath, the originally vacillating heart was decided at this moment like iron casting——Since this is the case, since God sent her to him, he will definitely accept this as a foregone conclusion! However, Zhang Hanruo snorted coldly, and glanced at An Qingxu's men and horses contemptuously: "I can't help it? An Qingxu, look at your mere soldiers and horses, can they be worth thousands of cavalry behind me? As long as I wave my hand, I will immediately step down the others Yuan! If you don't let him go, you'll die an ugly death!" As if responding, just as she finished speaking, the soldiers and guards behind her shouted in unison: "Kill this little thief and avenge the lord!" An Qingxu frowned and smiled slightly: "It's too early to say victory or defeat!" He raised his eyelids to the east, "Listen, what sound is that—" While they were still talking, there was a lot of smoke and dust on the East Street, hoofbeats were heard like weaving, and the flying cavalry under An Qingxu's command were galloping like lightning.An Qingxu sneered secretly, Zhang Hanruo was inexperienced in leading the army after all, if he made a decisive decision, he would come up for reinforcements as soon as he arrived in Bieyuan, not only would the entire army he brought be wiped out, even An Qingxu would not be able to retreat completely, his reinforcements had already arrived , the two sides confronted each other without any scruples. In front of the Prince's Bieyuan, one east and one west, the cavalry confronted each other, all of them were well-armored and helmeted, and they were evenly matched. An Qingxu didn't get on his horse, but stood in place and said, "Zhang Hanruo, look at the battle between us today, what chance do you have of winning?" Zhang Hanruo's face turned blue, and he knew that fighting with An Qingxu's flying cavalry alone might not necessarily result in defeat, but this place is originally a dragon's lake and a tiger's lair, and the An family has a steady stream of reinforcements, while her Zhang family only has a few thousand troops.She can't afford it, and she can't afford it. She has to preserve her strength in order to seek revenge in the future.She bit her lower lip tightly, and whispered to the guards beside her: "Pass on the message, the rear team will act as the front team, rescue Miss Shen, let's retreat immediately!" While speaking, she had already winked at Xue Hongxian. Xue Hongxian understood her intentions, supported Shen Zhenzhu and ran towards Zhang Hanruo.Where is An Qingxu willing to follow?He shouted in a deep voice: "Do it, stop them!" The sound of swords clashing ignited again, not only the soldiers from the two sides in front of the other garden started fighting, but the knights from the two sides also started fighting.It's just that there are so many soldiers and horses on both sides that they can't get rid of each other for a while, and the situation is very chaotic.Although the distance between Zhang Hanruo and Shen Zhenzhu and the others was less than ten steps, they were blocked by fighters and could not approach at all.She was eager to get off her horse and run to the rescue, but the guard beside her held the reins tightly and said: "Miss, don't forget the lord's revenge, don't get involved in any danger!" An Qingxu had already held the long sword in person at this time, and stabbed Xue Hongxian face to face: "Leave someone here!" Xue Hongxian supported Shen Zhenzhu with his left hand, his figure was quite inconvenient, but he blocked An Qing with the sword at will, immediately sealing An Qing Xu Jian's attack was strange and fierce, forcing An Qingxu back step by step, and said softly to An Qingxu: "Master expressly forbids me to kill, please don't force me!" Now that swordsmanship is unpredictable, I have learned swordsmanship for twenty years and I am proud of myself, but under this little girl's hands, it is like a child playing.The only way to go on like this is to give way to her.Suddenly, with a thought in his mind, he raised his sword again and stabbed at Xue Song who was fighting with Lin Hong at his side. Xue Hongxian was startled for a moment, and drew his sword to stop him, but Shen Zhenzhu was too fast to keep up, and fell to the ground with an "ouch". What An Qingxu gambled was Xue Hong's surviving father-daughter relationship. This sword was a vain one. A few masked men in black clothes suddenly appeared, their skills were like charms, and all kinds of weapons were attacking his vital points.He had already lost his weapon, so he had to dodge to defend himself, and heard one of the masked men shouting in a muffled voice: "Miss Xue, quickly take the princess away!" Xue Hongxian didn't hesitate anymore, turned around and helped Shen Zhenzhu up, Xue Song raised his sword to stop him, but finally lowered the head of the sword secretly, watching Lin Hong and Xue Hongxian leap onto the horse behind Zhang Hanruo. Zhang Hanruo gave a long shout: "Retreat!" He turned his horse's head and retreated towards the West Street, and his rear guard fought with the flying cavalry who wanted to chase. In a rage, An Qingxu took the sword from the guards, flicked several swords, and stabbed the two masked men to death.Those masked men were exactly Mu Wei and his subordinates.Mu Wei originally wanted to support Shen Zhenzhu wholeheartedly, but unexpectedly arrived at the backyard on time but did not see Shen Zhenzhu's person, a group of people walked quietly to the gate of the mansion, only to realize that a great change had taken place, so they lay dormant in the mansion to watch the changes.After learning that the bride is actually Shen Zhenzhu, she wholeheartedly seeks a chance to rescue her.At this time, Muwei saw that Shen Zhenzhu had been surrounded by Zhang Hanruo's soldiers and retreated away, he had no intention of fighting, and only looked for opportunities to break through. Here, although An Qingxu hated the masked man in front of him, he wanted to chase Shen Zhenzhu back, and he had no intention of fighting again.At that moment, the sword's momentum gradually receded, and he only ordered the guards beside him: "Be sure to subdue this group of people, life or death!" After finishing speaking, he jumped on his horse and shouted: "Chasing!" With a wave of sword light, several Zhang's knights fell down immediately Next, he rode his horse first, swung his sword and chased after him. Zhang's rear guards are indeed loyal and brave, knowing that the latter is doomed, they still try their best to intercept the pursuers.An Qingxu took the lead, blood poured out from where the sword landed, he walked out of the East Street, passed through Shanningfang, he opened the far gate and saw Shen Zhenzhu's red body from a distance. He swung his whip to urge the horse, but he heard the sound of hooves behind him, and one of them shouted: "Prince Jin, stop, Your Majesty has an urgent order!" He frowned and reined in his horse, but when he looked back, he was a servant, his face flushed like a pig's liver, and panting heavily, he said, "The Tang army has assembled fifty thousand soldiers and horses, and with Fang Guan as their emissary, they are approaching Xiwei. Bridge, Your Majesty ordered the King of Jin to meet the enemy quickly!" The Xiwei Bridge is located in the northwest of Chang'an City, less than a hundred miles away from the city, and the military situation is extremely critical. An Qingxu was silent for a while, the blush was close in front of his eyes, but far away in the sky.Finally turned the horse's head and led the army to gallop northwest.
