Chapter 56 Bloody Wasteland IV
Fu Jingtao wounded the enemy with the first sword, and beheaded the enemy with the second sword. The result of the battle was beyond imagination. Damn! The long sword in Liu Yunchao's hand fell to the ground, and his mouth was so wide that he almost dislocated it. This kid had taken the magic elixir.
Well, how could it be so fierce?!
You must know that the person who was killed was not a small character like a cat or a dog. He was at least a well-known first-class player in the world. It should be easy to kill a few of them with bare hands. To be blunt, even if Fei Chenglin was present, he might not be able to do so.
Killing the opponent cleanly and neatly. Then why did Fu Jingtao leapfrog his level and kill the powerful enemy? Could it be that he has been hiding it all this time?
Liu Yunchao was completely confused. He could not imagine what miraculous and magical powers could be used to transform a person into a new person and be reborn in just a few days.
Fu Jingtao was also confused. His opponent could obviously withdraw from the range covered by the sword light, so why was he so slow in his actions that he insisted on taking a blow? He didn't know that the man in black had been poisoned, so after thinking about it, he stopped pestering him.
Regarding this issue, the most important thing is to focus on the present.
Zhou Chengzong knew this very well, but he was a big kid and didn't want to reveal the secret of poisoning his sleeve arrows. He gave a thumbs up and praised: "Senior Brother Fu cuts off the soul with a sharp knife, which will shock all the ghosts and gods!"
Ji Yuqing said unconvinced: "If I hadn't injured my opponent with my sword and greatly reduced his martial arts, how would it be his turn to take advantage of this!"
Fu Jingtao smiled hurriedly and said: "That's exactly the truth! Miss Ji's sword was a masterpiece that shocked the world and weeping ghosts and gods. It can actually make us feel the disillusionment of the reincarnation of life. Its state can no longer be described in words.
"
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Ji Yuqing's lips, and she raised her chin and said, "You are somewhat self-aware! That move just now was my father's Wanliu Zhuixian swordsmanship's unique skill. I am the only one in the world who has mastered it.
Professor, do you think it can be awesome?"
Fu Jingtao sincerely praised: "Master Ji is indeed a top-level swordsman. I really want to be his disciple and learn his magical sword skills of chasing immortals and moons."
Ji Yuqing said: "Okay, you come with me back to Dashu Mountain and ask him to teach you swordsmanship."
Fu Jingtao was startled. How could he take the casual joke seriously? He said with a grimace: "My master is a big shot in Xuanyuan Sect. How could he possibly agree with me betraying the master and switching to Shushan?"
Ji Yuqing's pretty face darkened, and she struck the ground with her sword angrily, making Fu Jingtao's heart beat with fear.
Suddenly, a low horn sound was heard in the distance, and it was long and desolate. The masters who were repulsed by the rock eagle, as well as dozens of men who were ambushed in the mountains on both sides, jumped up one after another, forming a crowd and retreating towards the mountain.
The wilderness outside.
I saw figures flashing, Zhou Huan stepped on the tree crown and flew back. There was blood on his body, and there were a few more scars. There was also a half-broken arrow shaft stuck on his left back shoulder. It was obvious that the fight just now was very dangerous. He had to deal with more than just
All the masters are besieging you, and you have to beware of sneak attacks by the eagle shooters with hidden arrows. The situation is even worse than that of Rock Eagle.
After Zhou Huan landed, he exchanged glances with Yan Ying, then turned to look at Zhou Chengzong and the headless corpse. The corners of his eyes twitched a few times and asked: "Chengzong, are you okay?"
Zhou Chengzong rubbed his shoulders and said, "I'm fine. When the enemy made a sneak attack, luckily Sister Ji and Brother Fu worked together to prevent the other party's plan from succeeding."
With Zhou Huan's level of eyesight, he could guess what happened at that time without saying much. He was really impressed by Fu Jingtao. He was able to break out in crisis and defeat the strong with the weak. He was a genius whose future achievements would be limitless.
Yanying said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhou, the enemy has temporarily retreated, what should we do?"
Zhou Huan shook the blood on the tip of the knife and said calmly: "There is no way back, we can only move forward!"
Yanying laughed, raised his magic spear, and strode forward with his head held high.
Zhou Huan put his sword back into its sheath and called Zhou Chengzong to get into the carriage, followed closely by the driver.
Ji Yuqing stared at Fu Jingtao and said, "Where are you going?"
Fu Jingtao carefully stared at her trembling sword blade and said sternly: "You and I are in the same boat, so of course we have to break out of the siege side by side!" He had killed one of the other parties and had already formed a deadly feud, so how could he dare to act alone? Why not follow Zhou Huan?
, Yanying fought hard to survive in death.
Ji Yuqing's expression softened a little, and he jumped onto the white horse and rode away. Fu Jingtao wiped away his sweat with his backhand and followed her. Liu Yunchao was at the end, with a gloomy expression.
The fierce fighting stopped, and the forest returned to silence, except for the sound of hoofbeats. The group passed through the mountain pass with solemn vigilance, and their eyes suddenly opened up.
The trees disappeared, the terrain was gently undulating, and everything was covered with gray and withered weeds. On the wasteland on one side of the road, about a hundred horsemen stood silently, and the formation stretched like a formation of wild geese, blocking the road going south.
Those at the forefront of the cavalry formation were all fierce and brave men with different costumes, hairstyles, and weapons. They appeared to come from more than ten different tribes, mostly warriors from the grasslands outside the Great Wall.
Positioned at the rear of the cavalry formation are all eagle shooters, all holding long bows and carrying quivers on their backs.
Seeing Yan Ying and his entourage appear, the cavalry formation split open, and a red-haired man rode a golden sweat-blooded horse and stood forward. He was tall, with a sword on his back, looking for power, and it turned out to be Xiao Chi, the Khitan prince.
Wolf!
The moment Yanying saw Xiao Chilang, his steps paused slightly, his magic gun whistled, his eyes shot out a chilling light, a pure fighting spirit rushed straight into Douxiao, and he shouted: "Xiao Chilang, it turns out you are
You are causing trouble! After so many years of separation, do you dare to fight me alone today?"
Xiao Chilang said coldly: "Yanying, can you have anything else in your mind besides fighting? I led my team all the way here not to have a fight with you. General Zhou Huanzhou, don't
Are you okay?"
Zhou Huan took a deep breath, reined in the strong horse with his hands, and said slowly: "Prince Xiao, why did you come to this muddy water?"
Xiao Chilang waved his hand and said loudly: "General Zhou, in the past you and I were each our own masters, and there were always casualties and casualties in battlefields. It was difficult to distinguish right from wrong, so don't worry about it. Now, General, you have no home and are on the run.
Why don't you come back to the Khitan with me? I, the Khitan Khan, have admired the general for a long time. As long as the general nods, I can take charge of the military and lead an army to conquer the Song Dynasty!"
Zhou Huan shook his head and said: "Prince Xiao, you are wrong. Zhou was born here and raised here, and his body is of Yanhuang blood. How can he lead an army of foreigners to massacre the people of the Central Plains? If my hands are stained with the blood of Han people, how can I have any shame?
To meet the ancestors of my Zhou family? No matter how favorable the terms you offer, I will not defect to the Khitan."
Xiao Chilang sneered and said: "Are you just watching the Zhao family usurp the country and call yourself a loner? Are you worthy of the two former emperors Guo and Chai?"
Zhou Huan said in a deep voice: "Prince Xiao, the change of dynasty in China is my Han family's business and has nothing to do with you Khitan! Although I hate the Zhao thief deeply, I am not confused when it comes to right and wrong. No need to talk nonsense anymore, please give way.
!”
Xiao Chilang laughed and said: "Zhou Huan, I respect you as a man and want to join hands with you for revenge, but you are stubborn. That means you are an enemy rather than a friend! You just killed many of my subordinates and just left like this.
If so, how do you want me to convince the public?"
Zhou Huandao: "You go into battle and fight, and when you die, you just blame yourself for being inferior to others. Xiao Chilang, if you want me to pay for the lives of your subordinates, just let me go!"
Xiao Chilang said: "General Zhou still has a fiery temper. If you can satisfy one of my requirements, it won't hurt if I let you go south to Shu."
Zhou Huandao: "Is there such a good thing? Tell me about it!"
Xiao Chilang said: "It's simple, as long as you let me take away this noble man next to you, the sky is high and the sea is vast for you to roam!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Zhou Chengzong, his eyes bright and his expression very serious.
Zhou Huan said slowly: "Prince Xiao, he is my nephew, not a 'noble man'. Are you mistaken?"
Xiao Chilang said: "General Zhou, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. Your sister is the concubine of Emperor Chai Rong of Zhou Dynasty, and the son she gave birth to is the prince of Zhou Dynasty! You protected him and escaped from Song Dynasty, intending to seek refuge in Shu.
, for what? Isn’t it just that you want to borrow troops to defeat the Song Dynasty in the future and take back the power of the Zhou Dynasty and the Chai family? However, the leader of the Shu Kingdom is weak and incompetent and likes extravagance and pleasure. How can he have the ambition to conquer the world? Chai
Prince, please follow me back north to Khitan. Wouldn’t it be great if we hoisted the banner of Emperor Zhou and competed in the Central Plains together?”
Fu Jingtao heard the conversation between the two at the back, and finally realized that he was actually involved in the struggle for imperial power and hegemony.
Before Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he was the commander of the imperial army of the Later Zhou Dynasty. He won the trust of Zhou Emperor Chai Rong and held the military power to defend the capital.
Chai Rong was the adopted son of Guo Wei, Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty. He was extremely brave and famous in the Central Plains. He contracted wind and cold during the northern expedition to Khitan and died soon after. His temple name was "Shizong". Before his death, he passed the throne to his eldest son Chai Zongxun, who was only seven years old.
, and asked the civil and military ministers, including Zhao Kuangyin, to assist.
Unexpectedly, only half a year later, Zhao Kuangyin's cronies used the Khitan invasion of the south to encourage Zhao Kuangyin to lead the army northward. As a result, they launched a mutiny when they arrived at Chenqiaoyi, put the yellow robe they had prepared on Zhao Kuangyin, and changed his words and shouted "Long live" three times. Zhao Kuangyin
Then he returned to Kaifeng, forced the young emperor Chai Zongxun to take the Zen throne, established the capital in Tokyo, and established the country as "Song". This is the famous story of "Chenqiao Mutiny, Yellow Robe Reincarnation" in history.
Zhou Chengzong's original surname was "Chai". Although he was a little older, his mother was a concubine of Emperor Zhou and was a concubine, so he was not qualified to inherit the throne. Zhou Huan protected him and escaped from Tokyo secretly. There must be something unknown about him.
's great secret.
Zhao Kuangyin was in an unfair position, so how could he allow the descendants of the Chai family to escape from control? He also wanted to protect the royal family's face and reputation, so he could not openly put up a wanted list, so he secretly mobilized people from all over the world to encircle and pursue him.
After the Khitan people found out this news, they probably thought that Chai Rong's son was a rare commodity, and wanted to kidnap him back to the Khitan to make a big fuss, so that they could conquer the Song Dynasty in the future and become famous. Unfortunately, their actions fell short and they failed to do so.
Fu Jingtao then thought of the large number of masters from Shushan Sword Sect who went north and suddenly entered Yangjiazhai. They came clearly to meet Zhou Huan and Zhou Chengzong. As for the real purpose of the Black Whirlwind Horse Thief, it must be to intercept and kill the two Zhous, not the two.
Attack Yangjiazhai.
Zhou Chengzong shook his head firmly and said: "The late emperor made the northern expedition to recover Youzhou as his lifelong wish. In the end, he returned with his body wrapped in horse leather, but he did not regret it until his death! Although Chengzong is stupid, how can he go against the will of the late emperor and form an alliance with you and other foreign races? Prince Xiao
, people with different paths can’t work together!”
Xiao Chilang's face was as gloomy as water, and he said in a cold voice: "General Zhou, Prince Chai, since you are stubborn and determined to be my enemy, I cannot give way easily. Unless you hand over that map!"
Zhou Huan said in a deep voice: "Zhou, I don't know what kind of picture you are asking for. Can you describe it clearly?"
Xiao Chilang said: "General Zhou, you and I know this very well, why bother playing riddles anymore?"
Zhou Huandao: "Please forgive Zhou for not knowing!"
