Fang Zetao, who dominated the villa, died at the hands of the demon girl Hanwen of the Yinkui sect. This was an iron-clad fact that many people had witnessed with their own eyes. Therefore, after making some calculations, Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling naturally decided not to do anything.
It is not easy to publicize the complicated relationship between him and the demon girl Hanhan.
Then, after knowing that the army leaving the city was not to hunt down the demon girl Huanwan, but Qian Yun, the guard of Yuanjing Mausoleum, it was the 6,000 elite soldiers who were feared by the other party when they saw Fang Zetao dying, so they decided to escape and take away the 6,000 elites.
After removing the soldiers and most of the food and grass troops, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were shocked and finally had to decide: take action and save the tens of thousands of innocent people in Jingling City.
After all, they all know very well that the Jianghuai Army has always been known for its cruelty and bloodthirsty, and since Jingling has refused to surrender before, once the city is captured, I am afraid that the tens of thousands of innocent people in the city will suffer great consequences.
They might be massacred, which was something neither of them wanted to see anyway.
However, after Qian Yun fled with those thousands of elites, there were only about five thousand defenders left in the city, and a considerable part of them were old, weak, sick and disabled and new recruits who had not been trained for long.
It is absolutely impossible to defend Jingling with only the few men, horses and little money and food left.
then!
After surveying the terrain near Jingling, we found that the Pegasus Ranch, which is very close to Jingling and is famous for raising and training war horses and has been supplying horses to major forces, is nearby and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The key is that the opponent still has
Not belonging to any faction, they should be able to provide shelter for the people of Jingling and Du Fuwei's people would not stop them, so the two immediately took action.
Soon, they contacted Pegasus Ranch, and with the help of the horse team and convoy led by the ranch owner Shang Xiuxun, who was already short of people, they evacuated Jingling City in just five days except for the defenders.
Almost everyone except!
During this period, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling actually withstood Du Fuwei's army for seven days with a mere five thousand old, weak, sick and disabled and the towering and strong walls of Jingling City, and even suffered more than half of their own casualties.
Nearly 20,000 enemies were killed.
Finally, knowing that Jingling could no longer defend it, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling used a strategy to invite the king into the urn. They first pretended to be defeated and deceived the Jianghuai Army into the city, and then used Jingling, who was wealthy and well-supplied, to enter the city.
A large amount of tung oil, sulfur, charcoal, saltpeter and other igniting substances stored in the mausoleum directly set fire to the city, burning and killing countless Jianghuai troops. Taking advantage of the enemy's chaos, they took the remaining two thousand soldiers with them.
They boarded five large ships and broke through the Jianghuai Army's Han River defense line. Finally, they succeeded in breaking out three ships, and took the remaining nearly a thousand soldiers who had gone through fierce battles and could be called elites along the river.
got off and retreated in the direction of Yuhang.
In this battle, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling defended Jingling for seven days with 5,000 remaining troops and saved tens of thousands of people in the city. Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army was disgraced and lost more than 20,000 soldiers in vain. In the end, they only got a quilt.
The story of the burned-down empty city quickly spread throughout the country, causing many people and forces to praise and discuss the two men's deeds. At the same time, it also forced them to re-examine Qi Kou, Xu and the others.
The Yuhang Shuanglong Army, which was rising rapidly, led by the two men, came.
Of course, what also spread across the country at the same time was that Yin Kui sent a witch, who charmed and killed Fang Zetao to cause trouble in Jingling, and the furious "The Universe in His Sleeve" Du Fuwei challenged Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to fight but was defeated.
The two of them worked together to repel the attack and finally allowed the two of them to lead the remaining army to retreat calmly.
However, just when Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and their Ssangyong Army began to emerge and become widely known, unexpectedly, and I don't know if someone did it intentionally, two pieces of breaking news began to spread in the world at this time.
The first news is: ‘He’s Bi’ is back!
That's right, it's the Heshi Bi with the eight seal characters "Ordered by Heaven, Longevity and Longevity" engraved on it as a token of "Imperial power granted by Heaven, orthodoxy and legality"!
It is reported that Ning Daoqi, one of the four great masters in the world and the top Taoist master "Sanren", will go to Luoyang on the Dragon Boat Festival and hand over the peerless treasure to Shi Feixuan, the successor of Cihang Jingzhai, so that he can choose the new master of the world on his behalf.
, to end this chaotic world?
There is no doubt about the importance of the 'He's Bi', because it is not only a jade seal handed down from the country, but also represents legal legitimacy. Therefore, after hearing the news, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had to
Prepare to accelerate the plan to capture Jiujiang.
Because they don't need to think too much to know that the heroes will definitely gather in Luoyang by then, and Kou Zhong, who is committed to seizing the world, will certainly not ignore the existence of 'He's Bi', and will definitely participate in the feast of dragons and tigers.
Therefore, they must end the war in Jiujiang as soon as possible before rushing to Luoyang, arriving before the Dragon Boat Festival and participating in capturing the 'He's Bi'!
And the second article is: I don’t know who the devil released the news, saying that Yang Gong’s treasure is also in Luoyang?
Regarding this second piece of news, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling never doubted it, because they knew the true location of Yang Gong's treasure better than anyone else!
At the beginning, their godmother Fu Junma had told them the specific entrance to the treasure before returning to Korea. However, due to the fact that there were said to be very powerful mechanisms in the treasure, even Fu Junma herself did not dare to go deep into it. In addition, the treasure was not
Thanks to good luck, they were not in a hurry to take action, and were prepared to wait until they had the opportunity to seize Luoyang in the future before making any plans.
But now it's good, he was shaken out by some god damn person?
To know!
There has always been a rumor in the world that 'He's Bi and Yang Gong's treasure, if you get one of them, you can conquer the world'!
That rumor has been around for a long time and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No matter who it is, as long as they get one of them, the process of conquering the world will undoubtedly be much easier and smoother.
But now it's good, two crucial treasures have appeared together, and they are still in Luoyang, which is beyond the reach of their Double Dragon Army. Time is still so urgent, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival in two months. Can they not go crazy about this?
then!
After some emergency arrangements, while getting angry and cursing some of the initiators of the random spread of news, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had to take action in advance, dispatching and personally leading more than 20,000 elite Hangzhou Shuanglong Army to attack Ren Shao of the Iron Cavalry Association.
Jiujiang, who was killed and in chaos, launched an offensive.
They plan to seize Jiujiang and nearby areas in one fell swoop, then connect Jiujiang and Yuhang, occupy a large area of ​​fertile territory south of the river, and use the advantages of shipping to develop themselves. They will then defend the danger and cooperate with the alliance and marriage intentions that have been reached.
The Song clan is ready to attack Lin Shihong and Xiao Xian at any time, thus determining the situation in Jiangnan in one fell swoop!
certainly!
Before that, they had to make a trip to Luoyang before the Dragon Boat Festival.
…
"..."
ε=(′?｀●)))A sneeze!
At this time, in the Pegasus Ranch not far from Jingling, which was burned to a white ground, a certain little girl who was eating suddenly sneezed loudly again.
"strangeness!"
(O ^~^ O)
That's right, it was Anne Bennie who sneezed just now and was rubbing her nose unhappily now.
"Is there someone talking about me again?"
(?~?)
"Or is someone talking bad about others?!"
(?╭╮?)
Then, she put down the food in her hand and asked a beautiful elder sister who was slowly pulling the meat from the bones and carefully sucking the marrow from the bones.
"Of course there is!"
After first putting down the bones in his hands, Shang Xiuxun, the owner of Pegasus Ranch, sighed softly and said:
"Who asked you to directly spread the news that the Evil Emperor's relics were in Yang Gong's treasure, and that Yang Gong's treasure was in Luoyang?"
"Now I'm afraid that the whole world is discussing that matter, and I'm afraid there will be no less people talking about you!"
"At least the Yinkui sect hates you."
"you deserve it!"
The little girl in front of her was someone she met a few days ago when she was preparing to visit Lu Miaozi, who made her feel complicated, and then asked him to produce a design drawing for a new city for her, because she urgently needed help for the newly arrived Pegasus.
The tens of thousands of original Jingling people who live on the ranch provide and develop a new residence.
At that time, Anne was eating and drinking in the old man's comfort zone, so after going back and forth, she got to know Anne, and not long ago she found out that Anne was actually the legendary fourth great master in the world?
After the two parties got acquainted, Shang Xiuxun saw that Annie seemed to be easy to get along with and had the same hobbies as her, including food, so he invited her to be a guest at her ranch. From then on, the two began to treat each other as sisters, and even
Even the reason why she was willing to go to Jingling with great fanfare to save tens of thousands of people was because of Anne, otherwise she would not have chosen to offend Du Fuwei for the sake of Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling.
Of course, those things are not important. What Shang Xiuxun can't figure out the most right now is: the little girl in front of him is obviously a great master, but some of the things she does are too unreliable!
Apart from anything else, she just couldn't understand the outrageous things that she had known about before, such as the other party's random plot and the playful marriage of a Yin Kui sect seductress to that Kou Zhong.
What Shang Xiuxun didn't understand even more was that when she found out that the old man was besieged by the witch and the underworld Zhu Yuyan, and the situation was extremely dangerous and she had to beg the other party to take action, she clearly wanted the other party to drive away those two people.
Witch, but the other party simply told the public that Yang Gong's treasure and the important 'Evil Emperor's Relic' were in Luoyang and were still hidden in the treasure, and also said that Kou Zhong knew the specific location of the treasure and directly revealed it?
Then, after telling the Yin Kui faction about the news, the other party actually passed the news directly to the people at her Pegasus Ranch and some forces who came to buy horses, as well as people in the world, to spread the news about Yang Gong's treasure.
Spread it out?
Anyway!
Such outrageous and ridiculous things were something that Shang Xiuxun could not figure out no matter how hard he racked his brains.
"How could you spread that news?"
"Why!"
"If your disciple Kou Zhong also wants Yang Gong's treasure, wouldn't you be harming them by doing this?"
After saying that, Shang Xiuxun continued to sigh.
At the beginning, she thought it was the old man Lu Miaozi who took the initiative to spread the news in order to contain the Yinkui sect. But in the end, she was shocked to find that the initiator was actually this little guy in front of her.
"oops!"
(′～`●)
"Sister Shang Xiuxun, how could someone harm them?"
(￢д￢.)
"Think about it, He's Bi is very important, and Yang Gong's treasure is also very important. Then a group of people will come to fight, wouldn't it be fun?"
(???)
Completely ignoring Shang Xiuxun's astonished expression, Annie proudly expressed her thoughts of simply wanting to disrupt the situation and have fun.
"Moreover…..."
(*ˉ︶ˉ*)
"Then Mr. Yang's treasure is nothing special. If others rob it, it will be robbed. At worst, they will just give them some gold as compensation."
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Just like that, Anne curled her lips while eating, indicating that she didn't care about the treasure of Lao Shizi and the so-called relics of the evil emperors.
Because there is no doubt that the so-called treasures of those people cannot compare with the few gold ingots that weighed at least dozens of tons that she, the Head of State Anne, threw out casually.
Not to mention the skills and so on!
What kind of use can a martial arts master like that have? The use of energy is limited to the superficial level of martial arts and martial arts. When the time comes, if she really can't stand it, she can secretly give Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling one or two laser guns or spikes.
Rifles or whatever, if they just casually kill the three great masters in the world, that's really nothing special.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"Some gold?"
"??"
"Are you rich?"
"More than what's in Mr. Yang's treasure?"
Shang Xiuxun raised his head in slight surprise and frowned and thought for a while. After a while, Shang Xiuxun was slightly surprised and asked cautiously.
At the same time, Shang Xiuxun became even more curious about Annie's origins, especially the other party's casual statement that he could produce as much gold as "Mr. Yang's treasure", which made her feel a little strange and unbelievable.
Anyway, after running the Pegasus Ranch for many years, they will definitely not be able to produce so much treasure easily, otherwise she would not have to worry about the food and housing for the tens of thousands of Jingling refugees.
"That's right!"
??(??￣?￣)????
"A lot anyway!"
(???3?)
Anne didn't want to explain too much about this issue.
After all, if she said that she could really move out several mountains of gold and silver at will, and even build the entire wall of Pegasus Ranch with gold ingots, these unscrupulous guys would definitely not believe it.
of.
For example, a few days ago, she made a bet with Lu Miaozi that he could fly wood and carry people. The other party kept saying that he didn't believe it. He also said that he thought he was second in mechanical skills and no one dared to admit that he was first. He also said that he could
It is absolutely impossible to take people into the sky and fly for a long time. The most they can do is a big kite or a large sky lantern, and it can't control the direction?
result!
Annie built a wooden biplane by hand the next day, and used her pedals to drive the propellers. She took the other party and Shang Xiuxun and flew around the Pegasus Ranch in a large circle until the gears were almost scrapped before landing.
Finally, the other party had no choice but to believe it and was so horrified that he planned to worship her as a disciple to learn more advanced knowledge about mechanisms and aerodynamics?
Of course Anne didn't accept it!
But she still generously gave the wooden toy that was made entirely of wood, powered by martial arts masters, and could consume at most "one meal" or "one martial arts master" per 100 kilometers to the other party for study.
"Is it really a lot?"
"Eh……"
First he nodded, then shook his head. The noncommittal Shang Xiuxun did not dwell too much on that kind of issue.
"I always feel like you have a lot of secrets!"
"but……"
"Forget it, maybe you have your own considerations too!"
So, Shang Xiuxun sighed again, not intending to say too much about that issue, but continued to eat with his head down.
"correct!"
"The old man said that he doesn't want to accept your love, so..."
"He plans to spend about half a year making a batch of heavy-duty repeating crossbows, and then equip them with the same wooden aircraft. How many will he send to your two apprentices?"
Thinking of another important thing, Shang Xiuxun quickly raised his head and said this.
And the ‘old man’ in her mouth is of course that old guy Lu Miaozi!
After obtaining Annie's wooden airplane sample and the complete aerodynamics book, the old man was as shocked as if he had obtained a treasure. At the same time, he quickly decided to install some kind of heavy repeating crossbow that he was proud of.
On the plane, and then provide it to the Ssangyong Army and her Pegasus Ranch so that it can be used as a killing and defensive weapon?
The reason why the other party was prepared to do that was naturally to repay Annie's kindness for rescuing him from Queen Zhu Yuyan and Hanhan, and returning the plane and the book.
"Is the aircraft equipped with a repeating crossbow?"
(°ー°〃)
Anne was startled.
Then she began to imagine in her mind that second- and third-rate martial arts masters would step on the pedals with all their strength while controlling wooden planes to dive and shoot large crossbows to attack enemy formations and
The scene of the city.
"Whatever he wants!"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
"Fighters are not fun. Why not use them as bombers with oil tanks and bombs? Maybe the effect will be better?"
(lll￢▽￢)
Anne didn't know what to say about the scene of wooden airplanes flying all over the sky in ancient battlefields, so in the end she just whispered without making any comments.
"??"
"What fried eggs?"
Shang Xiuxun naturally heard clearly about the oil cans and the like, and knew that they were equipment used to attack and defend the city. If they were hit on the ground, they would explode with a loud bang and ignite a fire. However, she did not know what a 'exploded egg' was.
Already.
"No!"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"nothing!"
(*?′?`?)
Anne suddenly stopped talking, and continued to imitate the other person's behavior, lowering her head and starting to eat her food, not intending to say more, so as not to make this ancient martial arts world more weird and weird that should not appear.
s things.
"correct!"
"Annie, since you have spread the news, you will definitely go to Luoyang during the Dragon Boat Festival two months later, right?"
Suddenly, Shang Xiuxun remembered that important thing and asked suddenly.
"Of course!"
(??ω??)
"With so many people going, it will definitely be fun, so of course they will go too!"
|???ω??)??
Annie nodded repeatedly.
After all, the news about He Shibi has spread a lot, even here at Pegasus Ranch. She will definitely go and grab it to see if it is rare.
"But there's no rush now."
(?^▽^?)
"There's still a lot of time. Isn't it too late to set off after a while?"
(゜▽＾*)
Annie didn't want to move yet, mainly because the old man Lu Miaozi's cooking skills were indeed extraordinary, and the chef of Shang Xiuxun's sister's family was also not bad, so before she tried the dishes he knew, she
I'm in no hurry to leave.
"It's really no rush!"
"Pegasus Ranch is only about ten days' journey from Luoyang, but it's still two months until the Dragon Boat Festival!"
After some careful consideration, Shang Xiuxun quickly nodded, feeling that there was no need to rush.
"correct!"
"Annie, I heard that your apprentice Kou Zhong is planning to attack Jiujiang. Do you want my people to send them some war horses to support him?"
Then, Shang Xiuxun asked again.
"War horse?"
(??ˇ?ˇ??)
"That kind of food doesn't taste good and runs slowly, so what's the use of it?"
(ー`′ー)
"It's better to wait for the old man to send the plane!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
After thinking about it, Anne shook her head disdainfully and flatly refused.
"you!
"
"Don't pull me down!"
"I haven't given it yet!
"
Hearing this, Shang Xiuxun was naturally a little angry.
You know, their Pegasus Ranch has always been famous for being good at raising horses and training war horses. If other forces want to buy horses, they may not be able to buy them. Now that we are in troubled times, good war horses are rare and hard to find.
But now this little guy still dares to dislike him?
the most important is!
How dare the other party say that the war horses from their Pegasus Ranch are not delicious?
That one really makes no sense!
In the eyes of the other party, the horses they raised at Pegasus Ranch were compared to delicious food?!
Therefore, Shang Xiuxun quickly decided that unless the little guy in front of her changed her mind and begged her, otherwise... she would never provide even one war horse to Yuhang's 'Double Dragon Army'!
She swears!
