Chapter 17 Chapter 16 Old Voice Prefers Yu Lun Pao
The dull sound of the horn tore through the silence of the sea breeze, and also woke up Yang Yizhi who was lying naked outside the tent.
A martial artist reported: "The emperor's envoy has already set off with the Shen'ao fleet, please lead us to meet the leader."
After several victories were won, the rebel army led by Yang Yizhi gained a lot of prestige.The emperor formally issued an order, announcing the appointment of the Grand Marshal of the Army and Horses of the World, and Zhenhai City also hastily handed over the military power.Soldiers from all over the country gathered, and there were more than 20,000 people.Yang Yizhi was not good at handling military affairs, so these people were commanded by Yang Jisheng and the envoy in yellow.And the more than 2,000 martial arts tycoons who did not obey the two leaders were still led by Yang Yizhi.
Yang Yizhi managed to pull himself together, and under the setting sun, he felt that the vitality in his body was gradually recovering.After asking a few words, he led the crowd to set off.
The envoy in yellow made very careful arrangements. He prepared the boat long ago, and sent a familiar sailor to steer him, carrying Yang Yizhi and others straight to the place where the Japanese pirates were lurking.
After repeated victories, many remnants of Japanese pirates were captured, and under torture, many Japanese pirates were found out where they were hiding.This time, what they went to destroy was Feiyun City, the biggest hideout of Japanese pirates.
Feiyun City is on Muxue Island.This is a huge island, within three miles around the island, there are all spike-like reefs.When the sun sets, the sea tide rises, and the tide hits these reefs, rolling into countless white foams, just like layers of twilight snow, so it is called twilight snow island.
Local fishermen also call it Twilight Blood Island.Because the setting sun is like blood, shining on these tides, it looks like blood.
It seems destined that the island will be stained red with blood.
This endless reef provides the best protection for Muxue Island. It is impossible for large ships to approach. Even small ships will be submerged by the hidden reefs on the bottom of the sea without the guidance of a guide.The old fishermen who were familiar with the terrain around the island either joined the Japanese pirates or were killed by the Japanese pirates.
The Japanese pirates almost thought that the island was impenetrable and impossible to break through.
But it is a pity that among the captives of these victories, there are just a few who are familiar with the geography of Muxue Island.After the envoy in yellow asked about this, he discussed with Yang Jisheng and immediately decided to send troops to Muxue Island, lest the Japanese pirates jump over the wall in a hurry and assassinate these prisoners.
The sound of the soaring horn sounded like layers of undercurrents, resounding on the sea.
Thousands of sails competed and gathered around Muxue Island.
When Yang Yizhi arrived, the battle was imminent.
All the soldiers put on their armor and held their swords, and let out a fierce battle cry, which echoed on the sea waves for a long time in response to the sky-high horn.The setting sun is like blood, the sea and sky are boundless, and the faint smell of blood rises and falls in the air, which only makes people's blood boil. .
In front of them was a golden shadow.
It was a golden armor.
Armor is divided into four parts: helmet, armor, skirt, and boots.The battle helmet is an exquisite phoenix made of gold, with a tall phoenix head, holding a Ganoderma lucidum in its mouth, pressing it on the forehead, and the phoenix tail hovering behind the head, just pressing down the long hair.A mask made of gold was buckled under the crested head, covering the general's face.
The battle armor is also made of gold, with the name of Taiyi God written all over it.The red cinnabar is engraved on the golden armor, as if it has drunk the blood of the enemy.A golden dragon protrudes from each shoulder, hovering and dancing.The battle skirts and boots are all made of the most expensive rhinoceros leather, and the gold is just for decoration.
The golden-armored general stood in front of ten thousand people, his two-foot-long hair fluttered among the golden yellow.What she was holding on to was a huge banner, and on the golden banner was a blooming lotus embroidered impressively.
The sea breeze raised the banner fiercely, and the sound of the war drums suppressed the sound of the waves, making people almost unable to help but want to roar.
The slender shadow wrapped in the golden armor is so familiar.
Yang Yizhi's whole body shook violently.
The envoy in yellow turned around and smiled at Yang Yizhi, as if saying, do you like this scene?
Yang Yizhi was speechless.This golden armor is very familiar, it is exactly the armor that Xiangsi wore when she was in Mongolia!That was originally the armor of the princess, how could it appear here?
The past and the past are all emerging in his heart, making him tremble uncontrollably!
He jumped forward and grabbed the yellow-clothed emissary: "Why do you have this clothes?"
The emissary in yellow stared at him with slender eyes, and said with a smile, "Do you like it?"
Yang Yizhi couldn't answer.
This armor is his indelible memory.Desolate city, pale god.The dancing peach blossoms, and the coolness between the lips and teeth that will never be forgotten.
That was the most true and painful memory in his life.
How can you just use likes and dislikes to sum it up?
The envoy in yellow smiled and said: "I heard that this lovesick girl once led the people from the deserted city to fight against the 100,000 elite soldiers of Aldakhan. And she won many victories, which made Aldakhan heartbroken. The beautiful and charming woman in the Central Plains What's more, the son-in-law never cared about it. I was thinking, is it only this heroic figure that can make you fall in love so much?"
Yang Yizhi's heart skipped a beat: "You, how do you know so much?"
He couldn't help staring at the messenger in yellow.
For a long time, he thought that the envoy in yellow was just the emperor's favorite minister, relying on the imperial edict to act recklessly.But now, he couldn't help but re-examine this person.
There are too many secrets in this person.
The red-clothed cannons and the Shenao ships, these are heavy troops in the Ming treasury, and they are definitely not something ordinary people can mobilize.His father, Yang Jisheng, had been Minister of the Ministry of War and had no right to mobilize these.But the envoy in yellow borrowed twelve Shenao boats and dozens of cannons in red at once.
After years of fighting Japanese pirates, there are almost no soldiers available.Although he was named the Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, he was in name only, and he couldn't even move the guards in Zhenhai City.But when the envoy in yellow gave an order, he immediately gathered 20,000 elite soldiers.
Fighting Japanese pirates several times, it is not so much the two thousand martial arts masters who played a role, it is better to say that the guns, ships, and soldiers mobilized by the envoys in yellow happened to be the nemesis of the Japanese pirates. Several surprise soldiers received unexpected results .
Moreover, he also knows so many secrets.In front of him, Yang Yizhi could hardly hide his thoughts.
He couldn't help asking: "You... who are you?"
The messenger in yellow smiled.When he smiled, his slender eyebrows raised, as if a peach blossom shadow had fallen.
"Want to know?"
Yang Yizhi nodded slowly.
The messenger in yellow looked at him.That gaze suddenly gave him a sense of déjà vu.
"Do you still remember you begging me?"
Yang Yizhi's body trembled, his memory seemed to overturn the tea, there were faint crumbs, but he still couldn't remember it.
The messenger in yellow smiled softly and looked at him.He suddenly smiled and said: "You will always know, why rush? My lord."
This title, which has been called many times, suddenly made Yang Yizhi's face flush.
"Let's take care of her first."
His heart tightened, and he couldn't help looking at that golden-red shadow from a distance.
Yes, that's what he should be most concerned about.
The flying long hair is so messy, and the figure covered by gold is so slender.Without his protection, how could that gentle water-red lotus exist in this desolate world?How to bloom?
The envoy in yellow smiled and said: "Does the legendary lotus goddess have the ability to destroy this Feiyun City?"
He waved his hand.
Xiangsi shook the long banner in his hand suddenly.The sound of the drum suddenly soared into the sky.
Thick feathered arrows shot out from Muxue Island, twelve Shenao boats lined up outside the hidden reefs, and the red cannons fired at once.The fortifications of Muxue Island were immediately blown to pieces.
Under the cover of gunpowder, the guide is guiding the main fleet of Daming, slowly approaching Muxue Island along the secret waterway.
What about Japanese pirates?It seemed that he was overwhelmed by the power of the cannon in red, and didn't even dare to show his face.
Acacia stands alone at the bow of the boat, standing in the rain of arrows all over the sky.
At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the general who led the people in the deserted city to fight resolutely, and to the woman who broke into Altan Khan's camp alone and wanted to kill ten thousand people with three arrows.
Yang Yizhi fluttered and flashed in front of her.A faint moon-white light shone from his body, blocking the flying arrows for her.He turned around, only to see two dark eyes peeking out from under the mask.
The eerie darkness seemed to be devouring her soul.Her soul gradually fell into nothingness. Although she was full of heroism, she was just an empty shell.
Tears soaked Yang Yizhi's eyelids.He turned his head quietly, forced a smile and said:
"We fight together!"
That was a dream he kept in his heart.
One day, he will be able to assist her personally to build an eternal and immortal capital.People live in this city, working and singing.Cattle and sheep are everywhere, and wheat seedlings grow in the fields, never seeing the end.All the weapons were melted down and remade into various agricultural tools.He walked side by side with her in such a city, looking at everyone's smiling faces.
Will there be such a day?
There will be a day when he and she will create such a city with their own hands?
When will she be able to take off her golden armor and stop crying for suffering?
Standing beside Xiangsi, Yang Yizhi suddenly felt a burst of happiness.
That is the happiness of a puppet.
His Excellency Ranmaru, the youngest and most talented ninja leader in Japan, is standing at the head of Feiyun City, looking forward to a war that can wash away all shame.
He excitedly watched the Deming Fleet sail into the hidden reefs of Muxue Island.He grabbed a jonin: "Are you sure, the head won't come back?"
Jonin nodded.
Lan Wan laughed: "Haha! That's good! No one will take credit for me anymore! I want to prove to him that only I can help him fight back to the Central Plains and win the throne! At that time, I will be the leader of the whole world. The most talented ninja!"
He made a triumphant gesture, frozen for a long time.Then, grab a purple flag.
It was the flag that the bearded man told him that he should never use it lightly unless it was absolutely necessary!
Now, in Ranmaru's view, it is a last resort!Can't wait for his exploits!
The purple flag is waving!
Yang Yizhi stood silently in front of Xiangsi, covering all dangers for her.
Under the guidance of the guide, the Ming Fleet slowly walked through the reefs.The gunfire of the twelve Shenao ships pressed heavily on the sky above Muxue Island, crushing the Japanese pirates' arrow rain to pieces.It was foreseeable that the moment the fleet arrived at Muxue Island, a unilateral slaughter was about to begin.
At this time, a little purple suddenly appeared on the top of Feiyun City.
This purple is so inconspicuous that it didn't attract anyone's attention.But the sea broke open at this moment.The waves surged like a gust of wind from the bottom of the sea.A group of pitch-black people rolled up with the wind.
Their whole bodies were covered with jet-black sea mud, and they wore crane cloaks.They opened their hands, and the crane cloaks were like black wings, supporting them to fly above the sky wind.It's like a group of big black birds suddenly appearing on the sea.
Then, shells were generally dropped on the Ming Fleet.
The moment they touched the fleet, two streams of blood and tears suddenly flowed from their eyes, and their bodies exploded suddenly.Bright red blood spurted from their bodies.This explosion was even more violent than the red-clothed cannon!
Although the Ming Fleet is solid, it is made of wood after all, how can it withstand the bombardment of shells?A series of blood-red thunderbolts exploded on the surface of the sea. In an instant, dozens of ships were blown through and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.The Ming Fleet was in chaos immediately, the ships behind were blocked by the sunken ship in front, and could no longer move forward.
The sea breeze was stuffy, and the shrill eagle chirping sounded.
Twelve Heavens General's huge body suddenly appeared in the air, its wings more than ten feet wide fluttered, and immediately spread a layer of thick gray fog on the hidden reefs.The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty felt sleepy for a while, and they couldn't even lift their weapons.While terrified, four huge black figures suddenly protruded from the sea.
There was a terrible scream.The Dragon King of the Four Seas is like a devil on the bottom of the sea. As soon as he appeared, he frightened the courage of these officers and soldiers.The unsinkable ship was tightly entwined by the Dragon King of the Four Seas, and the hull slowly shattered and sank to the bottom of the sea.The officers and soldiers on board opened their eyes wide in horror, watching helplessly as they gradually sank into the bottom of the sea.
When they thought of resisting, the ninja appeared with the smoke, and Kunai's blow could easily kill them.
After the gray fog slowly faded, the reefs were in a mess.The fifty-six ships at the forefront of the Ming Fleet have all been destroyed, turning into ruins in the sea.
Countless dead bodies floating around the sunken ship are the best commentary on this war.The rest of the fleet was in chaos, ignoring the strict military order, and retreated desperately.
Three miles away from Muxue Island, Mu's blood was heavy and it became a dead zone.
Ranmaru laughed out loud, he really tasted the taste of victory.He stretched out his hand: "Take my arrow that destroys the enemy from thousands of miles!"
Jonin sent a bow and arrow, Ranmaru opened the carving bow, and fired a feathered arrow. The arrow flew forward like lightning, and flew away angrily!
Swish!Swish!Swish!
Before the Ming soldiers came to their senses, all the guides were shot to death with bows and arrows!
Satisfied, Ranmaru waved her fan again.
He felt that he had won.Who said that he can only win the victory under the leadership of the bearded guest?
At this time, he saw a small boat left in a pool of blood and raging waves.
A faint light shrouded the small boat, whether it was the rain of arrows or the suicide attack of the crane cloak and feather men, they all fell apart under the flick of the sleeves of the robe, and could not touch the small boat in the slightest.
A figure in golden clothes stood at the bow of the ship, with banners dancing furiously behind her, if the figure wasn't too slender, she would have looked like a god of war.
In front of her was a moon-white shadow.
Like a round of moonlight under the setting sun.
The envoy in yellow looked at the flat boat from a distance, and the expression on his face could not tell whether it was joy or sadness.He gently took out a flag from the bottom of his sleeve and slowly unfolded it.It was the same lotus battle flag as in Xiangsi's hand.The difference is that on the lotus, there are two big blood-red characters written in cinnabar, which looks shocking.
Taiyi.
Then, he gently put his hand on the battle flag and said a word:
"For your master, attack the city."
Xiangsi's whole body shook, as if suddenly injected with vitality.She took half a step, and vigorously danced the banner in her hand.This is no longer a banner, but a sharp weapon capable of killing thousands of troops!
The flat boat sank suddenly, Xiangsi's body suddenly lifted into the air, and the banners danced furiously, rushing towards the head of Feiyun City!
Yang Yizhi was taken aback, he didn't have time to think about it, Fengyue sword energy was thrown along with the flowing light, and turned into thousands of faint lights, supporting Xiangsi's body.Following the dance of the sleeves of the robe, the white clothes fell like snow one after another towards the head of Feiyun City.
The boat was among the hidden reefs, about three zhang away from Feiyun City.No matter how good the lightness kung fu is, it is impossible to get it alone.Let alone a woman.
Ranmaru couldn't help laughing.
He has always looked down on women.What a woman can do, he can do; what he can do, how can a woman do?What's more, no matter how you look at this woman, her expression is sluggish and her actions are stiff.With the addition of golden helmets and armor, and covered in talismans, it looked indescribably weird.Although he is overseas, he also heard that Emperor Ming Chao is good at Taoism and ignores Chao Gang.It is not uncommon for civil servants and military generals to favor the king, and it is not uncommon to engage in these pretentious things.But this is nothing more than deceiving the ignorant people in the Central Plains. How can a genius like him be fooled?
Under the setting sun, a touch of moonlight was like a pair of spread wings, slowly dragging Xiangsi's body up, making her float in the air again and again like a giant golden butterfly, straight to the top of the city.
The huge lotus banner, like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, hit down on Ranmaru.At the same time, it was Xiangsi's dark eyes that were pressed down.
Ranmaru has never been afraid of women.
"Ji He Slash!"
The sword suddenly came out of its sheath, flashed like a thunderstorm, and rushed towards the banner!Lanwan is confident that his slapstick trick will surely cut off the golden flag, and cut Acacia's long hair in two by the way.
It's a pity that the sharp edge of the Taidao suddenly disappeared when it was three inches away from Acacia.Ranmaru looked at the tachi in his hand in surprise, and it suddenly became two pieces.
A golden whirlwind of dancing flags is about to press down on the head.
Lan Wan let out a clear whistle: "Feiyan Zhan!"
The most talented moves of the most talented swordsman in Japanese history, under the hands of Ranmaru, show both beauty and fierceness.Even if there is only half of it left, the swirling edge of the Taidao is like a flying swallow, chasing the figure in the sky of Acacia.One turned into two, two turned into four, suddenly, sixteen lights danced in the air, all cutting towards Acacia.
However, no matter how genius the moves were, they all disappeared three inches in front of Xiangsi.Ranmaru looked at the Taidao in his hand in horror, only one handle remained.
Before he could understand, there was a loud "bang", and the banner fell down.He was almost knocked unconscious by the banner.
This is no ordinary woman, she must be a witch!Witch!
Ranmaru was so frightened that he almost fainted, he flashed down the city wall, and in another flash, he was far into the sea.
His ninjutsu is truly unparalleled in the world. When he was escaping, all twelve of Da Ming's Shenao boats fired their cannons at once, and none of them hurt him at all.
There is only one thought in his mind: quickly find the bearded man and let him protect me.This golden armored witch is too scary!too terrifying!
Acacia stepped on the head of Feiyun City, and the banner in her hand was immediately moved by her true energy, turning into a golden whirlwind.
The Japanese pirates and the ninjas were stunned, wondering how the leader would suddenly leave them alone, they ran away without a trace, and the whirlwind from the golden battle flag had already slammed down.
The setting sun dyed the sea and sky crimson, and she held a lotus battle flag and stood on the broken city wall.The strong sea wind raised her hair, and the golden battle armor and the banner complemented each other.
At that moment, it seemed that fate shattered time and space, and brought the goddess of the lotus, which was praised by all peoples, to the world again in the deserted city and on the grassland①.
Yang Yizhi looked at her with endless emotion in his heart.
He understood that the reappearance of this scene was not a coincidence of fate, but a deliberate arrangement by the envoy in yellow.
What is this for?
He couldn't help thinking of the words of the envoy in yellow: "There are many beautiful and charming women in the Central Plains, but the son-in-law never cared about her. I was thinking, is it only this heroic figure that can make you fall in love so much?"
He couldn't help but startled.Could it be that he loves her like this?
She is gentle and compassionate, or she is strong and persistent, which one is the real one?
Perhaps, one day, if her compassion is changed to a different form, she will perform Qi Wu for the common people of the world.At that time, she will turn into a lotus goddess and eliminate all suffering.
At that time, would he still be by her side, blooming a ray of moonlight for her?
Whether, that will soon be his happiness—the happiness of being her puppet?
Yes, it wasn't that she became his puppet, but that he had already been her puppet.
Perhaps, when he saw Sai Bei, he was hit by her phantom sword and her puppet sword technique.She will be her puppet forever and ever.
If she is happy, he will be happy.If she is in pain, he will cry.
A cannon fell below the city, stirring up water waves several feet high, and the water sprayed on the city wall one after another, like a snowfall.
Yang Yizhi's heart suddenly woke up.
He must not let Ranmaru escape, because he must undo the puppet swordsmanship!
The moon-white light held up Acacia and fell to the sea.After a few twists and turns, it landed on the bow of a Shen'ao boat.Yang Yizhi ordered: "Follow the escaped ninja and catch him!"
The sailors and soldiers agreed abruptly, and the Shen'ao boat turned around and chased south.
Looking back at Yang Yizhi, the envoy in yellow was smiling and waving to him, as if wishing him that he finally found his own happiness.
Yes, by her side, as a puppet of love.
Perhaps, it is their own happiness.
Watching Ao Chuan go away, the smile on the yellow-clothed envoy's face gradually cooled down.He leaned on the side of the boat and looked at the sea and sky.Until the Ao boat disappeared in the depths of the storm, he still refused to leave for a long time.
Ranmaru ran wildly.
Japanese ninjutsu, as long as there is the slightest support, it can run across the sea.Ranmaru's ninjutsu is unmatched, faintly turning into a smoke, passing one huge wave after another.
If it weren't for the help of the Shenao boat, no one would have been able to chase him.
But the Shen'ao boat sailed too fast, no matter how fast Ranmaru ran, it was impossible for her to be faster than a boat.But the potential of this young ninja leader is huge, and Shenao Boat chased him several times, but he got rid of it with smoke ninjutsu.The twelve Shenao boats were unable to catch him.The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty became angry with embarrassment, but they were still helpless.
Finally, Ranmaru escaped to a rock.
He knelt down on the ground, thumped the reef and shouted loudly: "Help me! Help me!"
The Ming officers and soldiers were surprised to see that he no longer ran away, but shouted at a rock.After chasing them all the way, they were also quite afraid of Lan Wan, and they didn't dare to go forward.
The reef where he was located was extremely huge, piercing the water for about several feet, like a ferocious beast, howling towards the sky.The reef is dark and seems to be darker than other surrounding reefs.
Could it be that there will be an ambush in the reef?
A lieutenant thought for a while and said, "Use shelling."
No matter how powerful Ran Wan was, he couldn't resist the chaos.Although the marshal asked him to catch him alive, but this young man's ninjutsu is so high, he must not be killed by a bomb, right?Even if you die, there is no way.When the two armies are at war, anything can happen.
The officers and soldiers agreed in unison, the Shen'ao boat stopped, and the red cannon slowly turned, aiming at Lanwan.
