Chapter 9 Chapter Eight Banner

Wang Shouren is used to getting up at dawn, and after washing and dressing neatly, he will sit in the room with his eyes closed to nourish his energy. Whether it is dealing with official affairs, teaching lectures, reading and thinking about academic theory, one must have sufficient energy.Although Wang Shouren's thinking is not rigid, he does things according to his heart, but he is absolutely strict with himself. The early morning sun had already shone through the window, reflecting on his thin face.The facial features are ordinary but calm as a rock, and there is an awe-inspiring righteousness.

He opened his eyes, stood up and straightened his clothes, hung the long sword around his waist, and opened the door to go out. The young student Huang Xuan had been waiting outside the door and saluted respectfully: "Good morning, sir." Wang Shouren smiled, and led Huang Xuan to the gate of the borrowed house.In the corridor, Huang Xuan looked at the teacher's back, and every morning he saw his teacher's appearance, he couldn't help feeling grateful. ——Being able to follow such a teacher is not in vain. "You are very energetic." Wang Shouren said at this time.

Huang Xuan replied: "Yes!" Unsurprisingly, she took a saber proudly.He and five other classmates took turns directing the defense of the county people throughout the night, and only took a nap for more than an hour, but after all, he was still young and his face was not tired. This time I came to Luling with my husband, Huang Xuan felt as if he had joined the battle of thousands of horses and horses, a young heart was very excited, even facing the demon king Bolongshu the night before. All fears are forgotten. Although Wang Shouren did not teach these disciples the art of war, but under his careful guidance, they have trained a clear mind. The defense strategy explained by Wang Shouren can be understood by six people at one point, and they know how to convey it to the county people.If it weren't for them, Wang Shouren would have to run around the city alone, and the preparations for defending the city might not have been completed yet.

This is exactly the "scholar" in Wang Shouren's ideal: one principle runs through, and the principles of all things can be understood. "Sir, do you want to have breakfast first?" Huang Xuan asked. "Take a walk around the city first." Wang Shouren wanted to inspect it again, so as to see what other good strategies he could come up with. After walking through the defensive points of the two city gates, they were about to head towards the west gate, when they saw four people rushing towards them on the street. "Lord Wang, it's great to have found you!" Two of them were carrying weapons, and they were Baojia who were in charge of defending the city. They brought the other two forward happily and a little nervously.

I saw that the two men were dressed as peasants, their clothes were already soaked with sweat, it seemed that they had traveled a lot.One of them was taller and thinner, still wearing a straw hat to cover his face. The farmer without a hat spoke first: "The young one is from Luomen Village in the west, his name is Luo Gui, and he brought this...brother..." He pointed to the person beside him. The man took off the straw hat, revealing a young dirty face, bowing his head respectfully: "Master Wang, do you recognize the villain?" When Wang Shouren saw it, his eyes lit up.This person was none other than the Tang Ba who was stripped naked by Yan Heng's "Tiger Pi" yesterday, Meng Qihe's trusted subordinate.

"The villain and a dozen or so brothers arrived at the village in the west of the city by night last night. We first explored the way and made preparations. Our leader Meng and all the partners will arrive one after another before noon this day." Hearing Tang Ba's words, Wang Shouren felt a surge of heat in his chest, and was about to thank him, but Tang Ba stopped him. "Mengtou led me to pass the message that Mr. Wang must not be thankful. He said: 'It was I who made my promise to Mr. Wang first, but Mr. Wang did not abandon me. This kindness can never be repaid.'"

When Tang Ba said, he clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were already red: "'At the call of Lord Wang, this time, we will live like men again!'" Wang Shouren knew that there was no need to say anything more at this time, so he just patted Tang Ba on the shoulder vigorously: "I look forward to meeting him again." Huang Xuan next to him knew that this young boy was the group of bandits that the teacher had mentioned.They were really inspired by Wang Shouren, and rushed to Luling to risk their lives!As his disciple, Huang Xuan felt extremely proud. Tang Ba explained to Wang Shouren: Meng Qihe's 100 people came in small groups and did not enter the city directly because they were worried that there might be enemy spies spying on the county town.Luomen Village is only more than three miles west of the county seat, and can launch support at any time; in case the enemy comes to attack the city, they can even attack from the side and cooperate from inside to outside.

Meng Qihe's thoughts are so careful, Wang Shouren can't help but praise him. ——At the beginning when he was advised to join the military department, he was right. The farmer Luo Gui heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Wang Shouren's and Tang Ba's conversation: "It turns out that he is really Lord Wang's friend... Last night, the whole village was frightened. Such a group of fierce men, suddenly He entered the village and said that he would borrow our place to live..." Wang Shouren and the others all laughed out loud. Tang Ba said at this time: "The villain must go back first to prepare for the arrival of other brothers. We sent two other people to look outside the city. If there is any emergency, please set off a bunch of fireworks on the city wall above the west gate. They saw We will be notified." After he finished speaking, he saluted Wang Shouren, put on the straw hat, and followed Luo Gui back and forth.

In one day, the combat power of a hundred people has increased, and they are a group of tough men who are used to surviving on the edge of a knife and living in the mountains, and there is an addition of Meng Qihe, a good gossip master, Wang Shouren's face is full of excitement. ——What is even more pleasing is: I did not trust this person wrongly! "Hurry up and tell Chivalry Jing the good news... No, he is resting, let's go to Shaoxia Yan first, he must be very happy to find out..." Wang Shouren was instructing Huang Xuan when he heard a burst of panic. Densely ring the bell.

It's the signal of an enemy attack! "It's at the south gate!" Huang Xuan exclaimed. "Hurry up and stop Tang Ba and those two, and tell them not to go out of the city, so as not to be discovered by the enemy!" Wang Shouren ordered him, and he ran southward with two Baojias. Wang Shouren was walking this street, just passing by "Fuchang Inn", and saw Hu Linglan's tall figure leaping out from the gate, with a wild sword on his back, a quiver hanging on his waist, and a longbow in his hand. Go to the south gate. When they arrived at the city gate, they saw the defensive bamboo rafts behind the gate, and nervous county residents lined up on both sides of the narrow road, holding weapons and throwing stones in panic.The wall above the city gate was also full of people.

"Don't panic!" Wang Shouren shouted: "Just follow the instructions of me and the knights, and they will never break through!" Hu Linglan and Wang Shouren climbed onto the wall one after the other.Wang Shouren noticed that the gait of this Dongying heroine was still very unnatural, she seemed to be enduring sharp pains while running, her waist was tightly wrapped with many layers of cloth strips. On the top of the city gate, I saw Yuanhe and Wang Shouren's disciple Zhu Heng looking southeast.Together they are responsible for guarding the south gate today. ——Yan Heng, Lian Feihong and Tong Jing still stayed at the east and north city gates.They have also heard the signal at this moment, and have entered a state of readiness, watching closely to see if there are enemies coming from other directions. Standing beside Yuanxing, Wang Shouren also looked to the southeast, only to see a puff of smoke rising from the road in the distance, it must be a horse team. "But it seems too few." Yuan Xing said. "Maybe it's just a slap in the face." Wang Shouren nodded in agreement: "Zhu Heng, ask the people below to prepare horses, and let Master Yuanxing and Shimadzu heroine rush to other directions to support at any time." "I don't know how to ride a horse." Yuan Xing scratched his bald head and smiled at Wang Shouren: "But I run very fast." Wang Shouren looked at Yuanxing.Too many things happened yesterday, and he didn't have much chance to talk to this Shaolin monk, but after meeting him for a few times, he already felt that Yuan Xing and Jing Li are both heroic and temperamental people. In fact, Yuan Xing didn't quite know who the high-ranking official surnamed Wang was next to him.He only knows: since Jing Li and the others can trust him, I can trust him too. "How did the master and the chivalrous men know each other?" Wang Shouren asked curiously while still staring at the horse team in the distance. Yuan Xing scratched his beard and said, "Probably because of fate? My Tai Shishu taught me this way." Wang Shouren nodded with a smile: "Yes. It's fate." The cavalry approached, and it could be seen that there were only seven or eight cavalry. The morning light reflected the fluttering five-color strange robes, which were indeed the kings of surgery.One of them even held up a banner with red runes of the Translocation Church painted in human blood. On the top of the city gate, Hu Linglan took out a cloth belt, wrapped the handle of the longbow tightly around her left hand, and took out a long black-feathered arrow from her quiver. The Baojia and county residents guarding the wall all hid behind the protruding piles, peeking at the enemy coming from afar.There are about fifty people here, which is several times more than the other party, but they are always afraid of the Shu Kings who have been raging for a long time, and many people's legs are shaking. "My lord Wang, please stand behind the pile." One of the Baojia said hurriedly: "Those monsters, I heard that their arrow hidden weapons are very powerful..." Wang Shouren stood in place without fear.He knew that to reduce the fear of the county residents, he had to be at the forefront. Those eight riders stopped when they were four or fifty feet outside the city gate, and only one rider continued to pace slowly and approached until about twenty feet away. This Disciple of Master Shu is older, he looks to be in his early forties, his face is very strange, his eyes are one big and one small, his mouth is crooked, revealing two rows of irregular yellow and black teeth. ——His crooked face was caused by an overdose of medicine that was taken once, which caused the muscles on one side of his face to tighten. It is lucky that he did not die. "Listen, people in the city!" This Shu Wang disciple shouted towards the city gate, the voice was very loud, and the words were still very clear with a crooked mouth: "I came to deliver a message for Bo Long Shu King Ji!" Everyone in the city heard that it was just a messenger, but they did not relax at all.They all know how evil and cunning Bolongshu King is. "Yixia's holy words: You guys who don't know your origin, dare to offend the teaching authority, harm my disciples, and steal my horses! You and all your disciples are now sitting in Qingyuan Mountain'Qinglian Temple', waiting for you to wait for everyone to go up the mountain and sacrifice your head Come!" Wang Shouren was surprised to hear that.He and Jing Li have been thinking about how to transfer the battlefield to the opponent's main formation, so as to prevent the enemy's poison from harming the people of the county.Unexpectedly, the other party now took the initiative to invite them to attack. Yuan Xing laughed loudly: "Why should we listen to you? Don't you have legs and feet? You won't come here?" He also wanted to turn his defense into an offense. He said this deliberately to avoid being seen by the other party. . "Of course you don't have to come." The crooked mouth said with a smirk, "But we went to Sitang Village, east of Qingyuan Mountain, last night, and all the 413 people in that village caught up with 'Qinglian'. There is an open space next to the temple. We don’t see you coming up the mountain gate every half an hour, so we will pick one at random to kill. Hehe, there are so many, you can wait more than ten days to go up the mountain, and there will probably be some left by then.” Wang Shouren was so angry that his beard swelled, and his eyes seemed to burst into flames. ——The soul of this dry beast has been swallowed up by desire, and it is hopeless. Hu Linglan angrily raised her arrow and drew her bow, aiming at the eyebrow of that disciple of King Shu! "Don't mess around!" The disciple of the King of Shu stretched out his palm to cover his face: "If any of the eight of us can't go back, or if there is something missing on our bodies when we go back, King Shu will be there after noon. One hundred people will be executed first!" Hu Linglan's hand holding the arrow's tail trembled.Finally she lowered the bow slowly. Roundness also made his chest rise and fall in anger.He became a monk since he was a child and didn't understand the world, but since he left the mountain, he encountered more vicious and sinister crimes again and again, which suddenly reminded him of the Buddha Dharma taught to him by his teachers in the Shaolin Temple. ——It is indeed extremely difficult to cross sentient beings. A cry came from behind the battlements.It turned out that one of the county residents, his wife's natal family was in Sitang Village. "I forgot to say..." The disciple of the King of Shu lowered his hands, and said with a proud smile, "The killing started at dawn today. On our way here, about three people have already gone to the real world to be Younu' is gone...hehe, when do you want to come to the 'Qinglian Temple', decide for yourself!" After he finished speaking, he turned the horse's head and rode away with his companions. "I have to go to Jing Xiashi and the others immediately." Wang Shouren took a deep breath, suppressing the anxiety and fury in his heart. "Must get out of town."
Hu Linglan hurried back to the "Fuchang Inn", only to find that the door of Jing Li's upstairs room was already open. "Jing Xiashi woke up not long after the siren rang." The doctor in the inn said, "He ate and drank again immediately. He stood in front of Xue Jiuniu for a while, and then called for someone to bring the horse. He Said to go to the Yamen, I don't know why." After hearing this, Hu Linglan immediately went out and mounted her horse, and ran in the direction of the county government office. At the same time, Yuan Xing, Yan Heng, Tong Jing, Lian Feihong, Wang Shouren and his six disciples all gathered in the open space in front of Guan Wang Temple.Many residents of Baojia County waited and watched outside the open space. "I have ordered Tang Ba to urge Meng Qihe and his followers to come at full speed immediately. The situation has changed." When Wang Shouren said, he tightly squeezed the hilt of his sword, and his palms were covered with sweat. ——More than four hundred lives are hanging by a thread. When Yan Heng and Tong Jing heard about the hostage-taking by King Bolongshu, the hearts of the young men also burst into blood.Every passing moment means that more people will die, and they can't wait to get on their horses and go to Qingyuan Mountain now. Mr. Feihong knew their feelings clearly, because he himself was the same.But he was experienced and calmly warned the two: "Don't be anxious. Anxiety will lead to chaos. This is the biggest mistake that the devil wants us to make." "Could it be a trick?" Zhu Heng was the oldest among Wang Shouren's students, and the most thoughtful: "The devil wants to lure all the knights over there, and then attack this city?" "No." Lian Feihong replied decisively: "Because he lost three good players, he knew that taking the initiative to attack would not gain advantage, so he wanted to invite you into the urn and use the terrain to regain the advantage. At this time, the most important thing in his eyes must be Kill a few of us. Once we are gone, it will be very easy for him to massacre the city, there is no need to forcibly attack the city first and consume his combat power." "Just right!" Yuan Xing slammed the eyebrow stick on the ground: "In a decisive battle on their side, you don't have to worry about poisoning the women and children in the city. Besides, we are not suitable for defense. Offense is what we are best at." matter!" Tong Jing couldn't help nodding her head.She has been staying in this besieged city for the past two days, and she has long lost her patience. "That's right." Wang Shouren stroked his beard and said, "Jing Xiashi and I thought the same way at first, and we have a hundred more new troops capable of attacking, so we are more sure of taking the initiative to attack. But we still need countermeasures..." At this moment, the crowd outside lined up on both sides, and two riders paced out. It was Jing Li who rode first.I saw that his whole attire and equipment had changed: a black scarf on his head tied up his braided hair; a long black cloth strip was wrapped obliquely around his face to cover the knife wound; his injured left shoulder and right knee were covered with leather and The armor made of copper is tightly bound and fixed to reduce pain when moving, and can withstand a certain amount of impact; a long black cloak is draped over the shoulder, in order to hide the injured left arm hanging on the chest ; the rest of the body is also worn or bound with black cloth, in order to guard against the enemy's hidden poisonous weapons.He was riding the black horse that belonged to the Plum Heart Tree. The man and the horse seemed to be one. If it was not daytime, it would give people the illusion that it was a very tall black shadow. There is a long Japanese sword hanging on his back, and a longer oar is held in his right hand like a spear; there are three different knives hanging around his waist and beside the saddle, and the iron chain of the plum tree is flying. blade. Jing Lie went to the warehouse behind the Yamen just now to search for the Baojia weapons stored there, selected these weapons, armor and clothing, and Hu Linglan put them on for him. Hu Linglan with a sword and bow followed closely behind on horseback, and she was in sharp contrast with Jing Lie in red.The county people couldn't help admiring this pair of heroic and capable men and women. The two came to the open space to dismount their horses.Although Jing Li's steps were still limping, but because the knee joints were fixed with armor, walking was much easier than yesterday. "I haven't thanked you for what happened yesterday." Jing Li nodded towards Yuan Xing: "The pain has decreased. Shaolin is really not easy." Yuan Xing seemed to shrug her shoulders nonchalantly, but she was actually very happy to be appreciated by Jing Li. "That's right, we have indeed obtained an opportunity to turn our defense into an offense." Jing Lie said to everyone, "But you must first know what the terrain of the 'Qinglian Temple' is like, and what kind of difficulties lie ahead." He handed the paddle to Huang Xuan, sat on the rock, and stretched out his fingers on the sandy soil to draw the topography of "Qinglian Temple" that he had risked his life to explore the night before; the narrow mountain gate and the wide open space behind the gate; the stream in front of the temple The river and the "Bridge of Karma"; there are also three impassable cliffs behind the temple. There is only the only passage on the front, but it is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.It's like trying to reach into the narrow mouth of a bottle to get something. After Jing Li finished explaining, everyone fell silent.Although there are only about half of Shu Wang's troops left, but guarding this terrain, the combat power will become four or five times as usual. ——And don't forget, there is also a terrible Bolongshu King in it. One after another, more serious challenges.But there is no reason to back off. The first person to break the silence was Yan Heng. "Compared to Yao Lianzhou and the Wudang faction, this is nothing." As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the six people lit up, and they looked at each other and smiled. Especially Jing Li, once again showed that bright smile.Everyone felt relieved when they saw it. At this time, several women came to the open space carrying a roll of long cloth. "Is it finished?" Tong Jing shouted happily: "Great, hang it up!" The roll of cloth was unfolded, and it turned out to be a large banner stitched together with coarse cloth.There was a flagpole in front of Guanwang Temple, several county residents climbed up under Tong Jing's command, and hung up the flag with all their might. "What is it?" Yan Heng asked Tong Jing. "It was given to us by the women in the city, and it was also for the purpose of strengthening the defensive momentum. That wave of Dragon Art King has such a scary nickname, we can't lose." The flag fluttered in the morning wind, and it could be seen that there were four crooked characters painted on it with black charcoal: broken six swords "Did you think of it?" Lian Feihong asked, recalling that she secretly saw Tong Jing writing on the sand yesterday, she suddenly realized. "What's the meaning?" "The few of us either lost our sect, or ran away from home." Tong Jing squeezed her eyes and smiled: "That's why I thought of calling it that way. It's very appropriate, right?" "Why 'sword'?" Yuan Xing frowned, "I don't use a sword. Neither do Jing Li and Miss Shimadzu." "It doesn't matter." Hu Linglan smiled and said, "In my hometown, a knife is a sword." "Originally it was 'Breaking Doors and Five Swords', because four of the five of us are swordsmen! But since you came to help the monk, I let you join in for the time being. I should thank me!" Tong Jing deliberately sympathized Xing said: "Besides, 'sword' sounds better!" Jing Li looked at the banner, the word "breaking the door" seemed unlucky to ordinary people, but he was born to deviate from the orthodoxy, and he didn't believe in evil, so the description of going all out and having nothing to worry about was exactly what he wanted. He and Yan Heng glanced at each other, and recalled that when they went down to Qingcheng Mountain together that day, there were only the two of them; now that the six companions are gathered together, they can still share life and death for such an interesting battle, what a pleasure.They couldn't help looking at each other and smiling. Although the six of them seemed to be playing together, when they saw the four big characters fluttering in the wind, they all felt proud.They are indeed lonely people who have left their homeland or sect; now under this name, they are closely linked together, and their bodies and minds are filled with the warmth of companions supporting each other. — There are other things in your life. Jing Li recalled the words of his uncle in his dream, and silently nodded towards the banner. "Master Wang, what do you think of this flag?" Tong Jing asked Wang Shouren: "I...didn't do anything extra, did I?" Wang Shouren looked at the Luling people around the Guanwang Temple, and they were all looking up at the flag. That look seemed to see hope. "Miss Tong, well done." Wang Shouren replied with a smile. "People are dying every moment. We are ready to go at any time." Jing Li said with a smile, and immediately brought everyone back to the harsh reality.The atmosphere in the open space returned to its previous solemnity. Jing Li took back the oar from Huang Xuan's hand. "Master Wang, the strategy of this battle depends entirely on you. We are all pawns you dispatch." Wang Shouren's eyes full of wisdom and courage met Jing Li's gaze. "I saw the topographical map drawn by Jing Xiashi just now, and I have already figured out several strategies." He said: "The life and death of a city is a battle here." "No matter what strategy Mr. Wang decides on..." As Jing Li said, he stood side by side with his five companions under the banner of "Six Swords Breaking the Door", and bowed to Wang Shouren together. "Please entrust us with the most dangerous mission among them."
