Chapter 183 Chapter Eleven

Xiang Shaolong and Shanrou attacked with strong arrows, they leaned down on the ridge of the roof and shot more than ten people in a row, Teng Yi and others broke through the door and entered the villa. Seeing Tian Dan escape from the house, the two immediately thought about what was going on, quickly jumped into the house through the skylight with a climbing rope, and soon found the entrance of the secret tunnel where Tian Dan and the others escaped, and hurriedly chased it in. The tunnel is spacious and straight, fixed with wooden columns and mud boards, and also has ventilation holes, which are carefully set up.

The two of them dared not light the torches, and moved forward in the dark against the wall. After a while, they got out from the hole at the other end, which turned out to be at the edge of the forest.Outside the forest is the small pier, and all the fishing boats have sunk into the water.More than a dozen dark shadows were fleeing upstream along the bank. Xiang Shaolong sent out the signal rocket again, Cai and Shanrou chased forward at full speed. After running wildly for a while, the six opponents fell back, pulled out their long swords, and turned around to kill them. Xiang Shaolong didn't have time to mess around with them, he pulled out the flying needle, and under the cover of the night, he waved his hands repeatedly, and the six of them fell to the ground one after another.

The remaining seven people in front didn't expect them to be so powerful, and the six of them couldn't even block them for a while. With a cry, they left the river bank and scattered to the small slopes and dense forests beside the river. Xiang Shaolong gave two more injections, and immediately two more fell to the ground. Shanrou became ruthless and threw a throwing knife, and another person who had just run up the slope was hit in the back by the knife and rolled down.At this moment, Shanrou recognized that one of the people running up to the top of the slope was Tian Dan, and with the strength of her legs, she passed Xiang Shaolong and rushed to the top of the slope like an arrow, catching up with the enemy.Xiang Shaolong was afraid that she might lose, so he hurriedly chased after her.

There was a series of sounds of weapons clashing, Shan Rou's coquettish screams were mixed with the opponent's screams, but they quickly returned to calm. When Xiang Shaolong came to the top of the slope, the two sides in the battle had already separated, both of them were covered in blood, blood oozed from Shanrou's left arm and right shoulder. Tian Dan held a long sword in his hand, and confronted Shanrou, his chest heaved rapidly, his face was ashen under the moonlight. Tian Dan caught a glimpse of Xiang Shaolong.He smiled miserably: "Okay, you finally caught up with me!"

Shanrou sternly said: "Tian Dan, do you know who I am?" At this time, the sound of hoofbeats sounded, Teng Yi and the others rode their horses with torches in hand, and surrounded the three of them. Zhao Zhi screamed and jumped off the horse.He shouted sharply: "When you punished my three clans, did you ever think about today's day?" Shan Rou said coldly: "He is mine, I want to kill him with my own hands!" Xiang Shaolong returned to Zhao Zhi's side, and said in a low voice: "Let your sister Rou do it!" Zhao Zhi let out a "wow", fell on Xiang Shaolong's shoulder, and burst into tears.

Tian Dan still had a calm demeanor, laughed and said: "I, Tian Dan, have killed countless people in my life, how can I remember who I have killed? Xiang Shaolong! Count your skills, I, Tian Dan, have convinced you!" With a backhand touch.Jianfeng dragged across his neck, fell backwards, and died on the spot. Shanrou's whole body trembled, and she knelt down on the ground.Zhao Zhi rushed over and hugged her tightly.The two women hugged each other and cried, and the sound of crying resounded all over the forest. A generation of heroes finally died. Teng Yi jumped off the horse, cut off Tian Dan's head, and shouted: "Let's go!" Xiang Shaolong was at a loss.

It was an indescribable feeling. On the one hand, she was delighted because Sister Shanrou and Teng Yi were able to avenge the death of their family, but she also accomplished the impossible goal.But watching this famous figure commit suicide before the eyes, there is always a sense of loss. All this has become an unchangeable history. When Xiaopan ascends the throne and the villainous Lu Buwei takes the throne, he will leave the Central Plains where all the nations are vying for supremacy, live the life in the pastures that he longed for, and never return to the Central Plains. ◇◇◇◇◇◇

After returning to the ship, immediately set sail back to Shouchun. Everyone got drunk that night and slept all day the next day before waking up one after another. Xiang Shaolong came to the cabin with heavy feet, the three women were whispering and looking happy. Zhao Zhixi shouted: "Xiang Lang, Sister Rou is willing to accompany us back to Xianyang!" Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed and said, "What you said that day really lied to me!" Shanrou put on a pretty face and said: "I said earlier that I lied to you. I think it's really annoying, but you don't care at all."

Ji Yanran smiled and said: "Sister Rou, don't be angry, our husband hides everything in his heart, hard-spoken and soft-hearted, don't take offense!" Shanrou said disdainfully: "He is your husband, right? What does Shanrou have to do with me?" Xuan smiled coquettishly again, giving him a sweet smile. Everyone knew her character, but of course no one would take her words seriously. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Going upstream, the boat slowed down, and it took one day longer than when we came, before we arrived at Shouchun. Because Xiang Shaolong promised Mrs. Zhuang to spend a few days to see her when she passed through Dian Kingdom, so he didn't stop and went straight to Chengyang.After landing, they joined the elite regiment waiting for them and went south to Dian Kingdom.

At this time, Mrs. Zhuang's mother and son were accompanied by the newly appointed General Lou Wuxin, who led 8,000 Chu soldiers and had recovered most of the places occupied by the rebels.When the people of Yunnan knew that Zhuang Baoyi had returned, they revolted one after another and formed the new Yunnan Army, with a force of 20,000 people, and surrounded Gaoze, the capital of Yunnan, with the Chu army. Gaoze is located on a plateau, built on the back of the mountain according to the situation, the situation is dangerous, and the water source and food are sufficient, the coalition forces were helpless for a while, and thousands of people were lost.

Seeing the new funeral of King Yelang, all the princes and states sent troops one after another, and King Lan led his troops to attack the capital of Yelang and set up a new ruler before returning triumphantly. When Xiang Shaolong and the others arrived at Gao Ze's coalition camp, the siege army had just suffered a defeat, and there were many casualties.Lou Wuxin and Mrs. Zhuang knew that Xiang Shaolong had come as promised, they were overjoyed and welcomed everyone into the camp. Lou Wuxin wanted to hold a banquet to clean up the dust for everyone, but Xiang Shaolong declined politely, and immediately held a meeting in the main tent to study the method of breaking the city. After listening to Lou Wuxin's detailed description of the situation and environment of Gaoze City, Xiang Shaolong said indifferently: "The most formidable part of this city is the danger of its backing. We will start from here and guarantee that the city will be broken in three days, because there is no A mountain cannot be climbed." Mrs. Zhuang, Lou Wuxin and other generals stared at each other. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ That night, Xiang Shaolong and others marched all night, arrived at the back of the big stone mountain in Gaoze City, and set up camp. In the early morning of the next day, after studying the mountain, Xiang Shaolong and Teng Yi drew up five routes and sent people to climb up to set up fixed iron rings and arrange climbing cables. These are the basic items that the elite regiment has been trained for a long time, and the equipment is well-equipped. When it gets dark, Xiang Shaolong and others can use the climbing rope and the pedals embedded in the stone wall to quickly reach the top of the undulating and overgrown mountain. I saw Gaoze City, which is seven or eight miles wide, stretching out under my feet.And Lou Wuxin was commanding the army, attacking the city day and night, so as to distract the attention of the rebels.The sound of shouting to kill and arrows piercing through the sky can be heard endlessly. Ji Yanran's three daughters also climbed up at this time.Jiao Pan squatted beside Xiang Shaolong and Teng Yi carefully. There is a distance of seventy feet from the bottom here.It is indeed shocking for ordinary people to look at, but for the elite soldiers who have always used the Yuebai Peak near Wujia Ranch, which is three times higher than this place, as their training ground, this rocky mountain is really a child's extreme. Teng Yi gave an order, and Jing Shan, Wu Shu, Wu Yanzhu and Dan Quan, who were extremely skilled, immediately descended from the hanging rope.After finding the foothold, set the nail circle and set up a new climbing rope. Their equipment is based on the design of mountaineering experts in the 21st century. They slide down with the collar around their waists, as fast as lightning, and as easy as playing a game. The four of them quickly arrived in the grass at the foot of the mountain, separated from the rear city wall in the south of Gaoze City by only a moat. The guards on the city wall went to the other three walls to assist in the defense. There were only a few watchtowers guarded, but none of them could see the dark place where the lights could not reach. Teng Yi gave the order again, and Wujia special fighters trained as usual, taking advantage of the cover of small trees on the cliff and the cover of night, they slid down in batches. And set up ropes across the river. Ji Yanran stared at the ants-like defenders in the city and said, "Just looking at this situation, we can tell that it is a regime maintained by force, and the residents are all laborers who are whipped and forced to do transport." Everyone took a closer look, and it was exactly as Ji Yanran pointed out.The city residents were only forced to take on various tasks of guarding the city under surveillance and whipping, with an air of helplessness. At this time, a group of people rode their horses and patrolled over from the other end, carrying lanterns to illuminate the city and the back mountain. Everyone was startled, and hid one after another, while Jing Shan and the others fell to the foot of the wall. What worried them most was the four long ropes crossing the river, as long as the other party was paying attention, they would definitely notice it.Although the cable is painted with non-reflective black oil, it is not an invisible thing. Xiang Shaolong was quick-witted, when the lights of that group of people were about to bring the rope into the light, he pursed his lips and let out a sharp night owl cry. Those people naturally held up their lamps to illuminate the back mountain. When they found nothing, they had already crossed the rope and went away quickly. Everyone wiped off a cold sweat. Shanrou came over and said, "You guys have a way!" Jing Shan and the others shot out the hooks, hung them on the top of the wall, and quickly climbed up, nimbly as a monkey, and respectively sneaked to deal with the guards in the sentry tower. Group after group of Wujia warriors crossed the river and climbed the city, their movements were agile, crisp and neat, showing amazing efficiency.Xiang Shaolong was very proud to see that he was a special force in the 21st century.Not much more than this level. At this time, nearly a thousand people fell to the foot of the mountain, and those who reached the city took out their crossbows and guarded all strategic positions on the city wall. Teng Yi smiled lowly and said, "Second brother's hands are itchy, he needs to go ahead." Xiang Shaolong said: "Let's go down together!" When Xiang Shaolong and others reached the top of the wall, Guo Qianwu's elites were divided into four groups, and prepared to attack and enter the city along the wall in two directions. Teng Yi fired a signal rocket to inform the siege Lou Wuxin that they had successfully entered the city.After Xiang Shaolong sent people to guard the entrances to the city, he led the three women and five hundred soldiers to the city.Teng Yi was in charge of occupying the top of the wall. The horn sounded. Suddenly all the soldiers shouted in unison: "The city is broken, the city is broken!" Soldiers came from the city like flying generals. The forced city residents shouted together, dropped the rolling logs, stones and other things they were carrying, and fled in all directions, shouting: "The city is broken, the city is broken!" Chaos spread like a plague. Xiang Shaolong and the others swarmed down from the steps of the city wall like locusts, and the crossbow arrows flew like rain, causing the enemy soldiers to fall to the ground one after another, and took control of the square at the back city gate and nearby buildings in a blink of an eye. Xiang Shaolong ordered people to open the city gate and put down the drawbridge, and at the same time commanded his men to occupy the roof, set up defenses, and shot back all the enemies who rushed forward.People from our own side poured into the city from the city gate in an endless stream, and brought in heavy weapons such as spears and high shields. Teng Yi and others took advantage of the chaos in the enemy's position, and took down the small half of the city wall in the northwest with great force. Lou Wuxin's siege team attacked the east gate with all their strength, pinning down the enemy's main force there. The own troops who occupied the northwest city wall were condescending, and with strong bows and arrows, they cleared away the enemies who were rushing and intercepting below the city. Seeing that the time had come, Xiang Shaolong waved his arm to issue an order. Rows of Wujia warriors, under the cover of powerful arrows, headed towards the east, west and north gates with spears and halberds. The battle was dire and tragic. The Wu family warrior on the wall shouted again: "Whoever abandons their weapons and squats on the ground will not be killed, and those who abandon their weapons and squatted on the ground will not be killed!" Repeatedly, this is of course a clever plan that Xiang Shaolong, who has learned modern psychological warfare, came up with. . Many houses were burned by fire, and the flames rose from the roofs and spread to the four houses, bathing the whole city in the flames, the sky was covered by the smoke, and the stars and the moon were immediately dimmed. The guards abandoned their armor one after another, squatting together with the city people in the corners of the city or between the thoroughfare of the square, and their morale was completely wiped out. The city has become a chaotic situation, Wujia fighters formed a well-organized battle formation, constantly expanding the scope of occupation. The soldiers on the city wall continued to advance, killing the recalcitrant blood into rivers and laying dead bodies on the wall. The injured were quickly transported back to the south wall, treated by special personnel, and everything was in order. This trip is the first time for this special force to try its hand in a large-scale war, and the result is extraordinary. Under the leadership of a group of shieldmen and archers, Xiang Shaolong led the three women and the eighteen iron guards and successfully broke into the inner city. At this time, the west and north gates had just come under control, and opened the city gates, allowing his side People and horses flocked into the city. The enemy soldiers guarding the inner city struggled to resist, Xiang Shaolong and the others rushed forward, rushed left and right, and within a short while broke through the defense of the inner city gate, and rushed towards the palace. Knowing that the situation is over, the enemy soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered one after another. Xiang Shaolong ordered people to gather the surrendered soldiers in one place to guard them.Lou Wuxin and Zhuang Kong had already led thousands of elite soldiers and rushed in. After the two groups joined forces, they were even more powerful. They entered the palace in less than a cup of hot tea. The palace was in chaos, crying loudly, women and children in the palace huddled together, trembling and begging for mercy, while the guards knelt down and surrendered. Xiang Shaolong felt sorry for them, and asked someone to comfort and take care of them. "Bang!" The door of the main hall was slammed open, and a group of more than 30 enemy soldiers raised their swords to protect a young man in the middle who was wearing a royal suit and a crown on his head. The atmosphere was majestic and intense. The sounds of shouting and fighting outside gradually faded away, showing that Gaoze City had fallen into the hands of the siege army. Xiang Shaolong lined up in front of this group of people, dozens of crossbow arrows pointed directly at the enemy formation in the center of the palace. Zhuang Kong shouted: "Surrender immediately, or you will be killed without mercy!" Lou Wuxin leaned into Xiang Shaolong's ear and said, "This son has committed many crimes, he has raped countless women, his death is not a pity." The young man in Wang Fu raised his head and shouted: "I am Li Qi, the son of Li Ling, I would rather die than surrender!" Xiang Shaolong smiled wryly: "You know what I want, so let you preside over this place!" Sighing, he beckoned the three women to turn around and walk out of the hall. There were dense arrows piercing the air and screams from behind, and then everything gradually fell silent. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Three days after recapturing Gaoze, Xiang Shaolong bid farewell to the reluctant Mrs. Zhuang, mother and son, Youshi sister and others, and rushed back to Xianyang. Entering Chu this time can be said to be a complete harvest. Not only did he successfully kill Tian Dan, but he also did good things for Chu and Dian.However, because Mr. Xu's life and death are uncertain, and Prince Dan was trapped in Xianyang, the atmosphere of everyone's triumphant return was greatly weakened. When they entered the pass, their old friend An Guxi personally welcomed them into the pass. Xiang Shaolong saw that Qin soldiers had their arms wrapped in white gauze, so he knew something was wrong. Sure enough, An Guxi was terrified: "Xu was seriously injured in the attack, and died on the way before arriving in Xianyang." Xiang Shaolong was filled with hatred, Lu Buwei was indeed more vicious than jackals, for his own self-interest, he completely disregarded the overall situation of Qin State, and would use any means to eliminate anything that hindered him. I had no grudges with him, but because King Zhuang Xiang, Zhu Ji and Xiao Pan were close to him, they wanted to kill me. Now he used despicable means to put Xu to death first, which made people hate him even more. An Guxi sighed: "It has been proven that Lord Chunshen did this. Although the people of Chu sent the head of Lord Chunshen and promised to cede the five counties for peace, how can we stop here?" Xiang Shaolong rode side by side with him, and said sadly: "If this is the case, he will fall into Lu Buwei's scheme. Now he wants to take advantage of the country's critical situation to expand his power. The real murderer of Xu Xiang is Lu Buwei. Chun Shenjun is just a puppet pulled by him!" An Gu's expression changed, "What?" The next day, Xiang Shaolong set off immediately, rushing back to Xianyang. At this time, just three days after the beginning of winter, the weather was very cold.Before they knew it, it had been five months since they left Xianyang. Eighteen days later, Xianyang finally appeared. The elite soldiers returned to the Wujia Ranch on their own, while Xiang Shaolong, Teng Yi, Ji Yanran and the Eighteen Iron Guards supported their exhausted bodies and returned to Xianyang City. When he entered the city, he heard another sad news: Lu Gong fell ill. This disease is caused by anger. Xu Xian's body was transported back to Xianyang, Duke Lu cried wildly over the corpse, and fell ill on the spot, and he has been ill ever since. One wave of ups and downs and another wave of ups and downs. Xiang Shaolong and others hurried to the General's Mansion. Stepping into the gate of the mansion, I feel inappropriate. The mansion was crowded with Wang Ling and other generals and relatives of Duke Lu, and there were bursts of crying. When Xiang Shaolong thought Duke Lu had gone, Wang Ling dragged Xiang Shaolong into the inner hall, and said sadly: "Hurry up and see the general for the last time. He has been thinking about you all the time, and he refuses to breathe his last breath .” Xiang Shaolong burst into tears. Suddenly, he knew that in fact he not only regarded Lu Gong as a respectable friend and elder, but also regarded him as a relative in his heart, and he had the kindness and attachment to him that a son would have for his father. Lu Gong was lying on the couch, his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were closed, and he was breathing hard. Xiao Pan stood by the couch, holding his hand tightly, with a surprising solemn expression. Lu Dan'er knelt on the other side of the couch, weeping in the dark, two ladies who seemed to be her elders were taking care of her. Jing Jun, Chang Wenjun, Changping Lord, Lu Buwei, Guan Zhongxie, Li Si, Lao Ai and others all came and stood guard outside the gate. When everyone saw Xiang Shaolong, they all showed delighted expressions. Lu Buwei put on a happy face, put his arms around Xiang Shaolong's shoulders, and said in a low voice: "It will be good if Shaolong comes back, let's go in and see the general for the last time." Xiang Shaolong wanted to kill him immediately, when he wanted to break away from his embrace, Lu Buwei let him go. Jing Jun rushed forward, grabbed his shoulders, called "Third Brother", and couldn't help crying bitterly, making everyone feel sad. Xiao Panlong was startled, turned his head away, and saw Xiang Shaolong, with deep emotion in his eyes, but his expression was surprisingly calm, and he only said slowly: "Teacher, come in quickly!" Lu Gong on the couch woke up with an "ah". Xiao Pan said in a deep voice, "Help Miss Dan'er out!" When Lu Dan'er stood up to protest.His legs went limp, and he passed out in the arms of the two women, Jing Jun rushed over and hugged her out. Xiang Shaolong came to the couch, Xiao Pan and Xiang Shaolong were the only two left in the room at this time, because Xiao Pan didn't give orders, no one else dared to come in.Lu Buwei, who was the only one who dared to break in under this situation, had a ghost in his heart and chose to stay outside the room. Lu Gong suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes swept over the two of them, his face flushed, he struggled to sit up. Xiang Shaolong and Xiao Pan glanced at each other, both felt bad, knowing that because he saw Xiang Shaolong, his life would be in danger. The two helped him sit up. Tears poured down from the corners of Lu Gong's eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Did Xu Xian be killed by that traitor?" Xiang Shaolong nodded sadly, tears streaming down uncontrollably. Duke Lu held the hands of the two of them tightly, whispered in their ears, "Bao Chujun, kill the traitor, avenge Xu Xian and me, remember, remember!" Then he swallowed his last breath and passed away.
