Chapter 8: Blessing in disguise

Hongmei screamed, pulled out her sword with her backhand, and rushed towards the eagle hook nose that had just gotten up from the ground.

I grabbed Hongmei's hand and welcomed Hongmei, don't be impulsive, be calm!

The red girl's eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames. She shook my hand away with all her strength, and her toes rose into the sky like a phoenix. She held the sword in her hand and flew towards the direction where the eagle's nose was.

The archers around them were just placing arrows, aiming them at us, but did not shoot another arrow.

The eagle hooked nose seemed to be shocked when she saw the red girl flying towards him.

Fire arrows, fire arrows

He yelled while retreating

The archers heard the order and did not shoot the arrow, but looked at each other

Seeing that the red girl is getting closer, which eagle is anxious? Whoever doesn't obey the order will be killed, and shoot arrows quickly. The archers started shooting arrows under strict orders.

The rain of arrows rushed towards Hongmei, and Zhou Gang and others were filled with exclamations. Several corpses pulled out their weapons and wanted to rush towards the enemy formation, but Zhou Gang stopped them and could not go to die, so protect the red goods first!

Chen Sheng also acted quickly. His three hundred soldiers had raised their shields and formed a round shield formation to surround the three-way escort agency.

At this time, Hongmei also showed the achievements of her ten years of learning, making the sword dance in her hand airtightly, forming a light curtain to cover her body

The arrows all over the sky were running to Hongmei, but these arrows shot from strong bows and hard crossbows could not penetrate Hongmei's sword curtain

In the rain of arrows, Ying Hong's body movements did not slow down. Before the eagle hooked nose retreated into the arrow formation, she caught up with him. She raised her sword and fell, and a head was already rising in the air.

But in this way, Hongmei's figure was completely exposed. Seeing that the second batch of powerful arrows were about to shoot at Hongmei, unless Yinghong's body was cast with steel and iron, she would have to become a hedgehog.

This time, even Zhou Gang's eyes closed, and he couldn't bear to see Yinghong being penetrated by arrows.

Yinghong is also clenched and hopeless.

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Yinghong like a ghost, blocking the rain of arrows all over the sky. Seeing that the arrows were about to hit the two of them, they fell to the ground like hitting the wall. Everyone was shocked and looked closely and found that it was me who was blocking Yinghong.

When Yinghong threw away me and rushed out, I knew she wanted to trade her life for life, but how could I let Hongmei die here?

Hurry up and use your strength to do your best and make preparations to save Hongmei at such a critical moment.

Those archers were shocked when they saw the arrows they shot that they could not get close to my body. Naturally, I would not hesitate. I grabbed Yinghong and tried my best. The people in the field only felt that they had flashed before my eyes. I had returned to the shield formation with Hongmei.

Yinghong just tried hard to fight with a revenge. Although she killed her enemy with her hand, she suddenly lost her close relatives and walked through life and death. She was also shocked and sweated. In addition, it may be the first time in her life that the sword in her hand fell to the ground as soon as it landed. She couldn't stand firmly and fell into my arms.

Hongmei, what are you? Zhou Gang, who was rushing to the scene, was shocked when he saw Yinghong fall.

I slowly helped Yinghong to lie on the grass.

Brother Zhou, don't worry, Miss Yinghong is fine, you will be fine after a rest

Brother Li, this time it’s really thanks to you. Brother Yu really doesn’t know Mount Tai, so he offended Ah!

What Brother Zhou said was originally my younger brother Meng Lang, so I had hidden it. It should be my younger brother who apologized to you.

Brother Li, if it weren't for you, how could I explain to the head of the chief of the Heavenly Spirit? Zhou Gang's eyes began to turn red

Brother Zhou is sad, we are still in danger, the reputation of these three escort agencies cannot be ruined by Brother Zhou

Brother Li is right, I will take care of you here and ask Brother Li to discuss with General Chen. Our three powers will follow your decision.

Then the girl Yinghong asked Brother Zhou to take care of me. I quickly walked to Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng was standing in the formation, staring at the crossbowmen around him with both eyes staring at the surroundings.

General Chen, can you see where these people come from?

Hahaha Chen Sheng suddenly burst into laughter

General Chen, why are you laughing? I asked in confusion

I could see the legendary peerless magical power here - the protective qi. Erxiao Zhou Yue looked at me, Mr. Chen too much, and actually used his most elite three thousand-toothed soldiers to deal with me, about three hundred people. Sanxiao was blind, and was regarded as a shameless villain as a friend of life and death, and ended up in a village where he died.

Zhou Yue!?Aren’t we guaranteed the offerings he offered? How could he be... I couldn’t help but feel very strange

General Chen looked at me, shook his head and smiled bitterly, how could I know, that bastard had never felt at ease with me anyway, he paused, turned around and shouted at the crossbowman on the periphery: Wang Jinbao, since he is here, don't hide his head and tail, get out for me

The military officers standing on our way suddenly flashed to the sides, and a war horse emerged from behind, and sat upright. He was tall and covered in iron helmet and armor. His mighty aura was undoubtedly revealed. At a glance, he knew that he was a man who had been fighting for the rest of his life on the battlefield.

Brother, please forgive me for being in the armor and I can’t give a big gift! Come and sit upright and hold your fists immediately.

Who is your elder brother? I don't have such a shameless brother

One day, I am a brother, and I will never recognize my brother for life, but I cannot refuse my brother Ah! When he said this, he turned around and smiled at me. This little brother is so handsome, I don’t know how to call him Ah?

My surname is Li, my name is Dingguo. How do you call me?

Wang Jinbao is not talented, but now he is under the command of the Wu'an Jiedushi.

Less nonsense, I know that Zhou Yue can't tolerate me, but I didn't expect that he would send you to kill me, and I didn't expect that you would attack me!?

To be honest, if I hadn't been merciless to Tianmengyi's subordinates, Jiedushi wouldn't have sent me here

OK! OK! Since you have made a vow, don’t take action? Chen Sheng suddenly drew out his sword

My hearings and witnesses told me that the two people in front of me were friends of life and death, but now General Chen is betrayed by his brother

But I looked at Wang Jinbao sitting on the horse, and no matter how I looked, I didn't look like a despicable person.

Is it true that people know each other but not your heart?

I heard this that I knew that a fierce battle was going to fight, but Sister Yinghong was not awake yet. When I started to take action later, it would be very difficult for me to rescue Sister Yinghong. If I could delay time, it would be much more convenient when Sister Yinghong woke up.

Thinking of this, I took a few steps forward: Two, please wait

Chen and Wang turned their heads to look at me together, all of whom were surprised

Listening to the conversation between the two of you just now aroused my curiosity. I wonder how they met. Can you tell me and satisfy my curiosity?

When they heard this, they met with their eyes and looked at each other for a while, and finally Wang Jinbao spoke.

Seeing that I was so cunning, I couldn't help but feel relieved and listen to the story happily

I was originally a general of Shi Gaorenhou, the governor of Dongchuan. The Grand Master had a grace to rebuild me. I followed him to fight in the east and west, recruited Qiannai, captured Han Xiusheng, defeated Zheng Junxiong, and killed Yang Shili, and conquered Liangchuan. Unexpectedly, the Grand Master was defeated by Chen Jingxuan (?......A. 893 AD, the overlord of Liangchuan was later defeated by Wang Jian and was killed). Chen had no strength to escape back to his hometown, Zuoxi (now in Changde, Hunan). But he knew that Langzhou had been occupied by Lei Man. He was afraid that I would fight with him and sent troops to attack me. I was out of reach. He heard that his fellow villager Zhou Yue gathered to occupy Hengzhou, so he led the crowd to join Zhou Yue and was originally single. He was very happy. So in June of the second year of Guangqi (886), he raised an army to attack Tanzhou. I met my eldest brother for the first time under the city of Tanzhou.

Oh, General Chen, are you from Tanzhou? I made a statement

Chen Sheng looked at me and sighed to the sky, "I am not from Tanzhou. My hometown is Jizhou (now Ji'an, Jiangxi). At that time, I had no tiles on my home, no land at all, and I could not eat enough. A single emperor of Qi (when Huang Chao was called Qi when he was emperor) arrived in Jizhou. When I thought that the generals and ministers had no seeds, they would rather have a future than starve to death at home. So I joined the army. As the Emperor of Qi fought south and north, he was not afraid of death, and made some contributions and was promoted to the general. However, Emperor of Qi was unknown and used the villain Zhu Wen, who was not aware of the people, and was defeated by Chenzhou. In order to open a bloody road, Emperor Qi ordered Shangrang and I to command five thousand elite cavalry to advance and force Daliang (now Kaifeng, Henan). Unexpectedly, Shangrang was arbitrary and defeated Fantai. Shangrang led his troops to surrender Shi Fu, Li Xi and Ge Congzhou, my subordinates were attacked by Zhu Wen (Quanzhong)

I had no face to see Emperor Qi again, so I had to turn into a beggar, begging along the way, and wanted to return to my hometown, but I didn't expect that when I was a military officer in Tanzhou, I could see through it and take me. I would die by myself. Unexpectedly, Shi Minxu, the governor of Qinhua, was my childhood friend, and he left his life.

Min Xu treats me like brothers and sisters, and I receive his kindness

That year, my elder brother and I met on the battlefield. Both sides showed their own strategies and showed their might. They fought for more than a month without a distinction between victory and defeat. We were in the friendship on the battlefield. Wang Jinbao was obviously in memory.

While the two armies were stalemate, Min Xu refused to listen to me and insisted on recruiting Huaixi general Huang Hao into the city.

I finally figured out the relationship between these two people. It turned out that they were both good at fighting, but unfortunately they couldn't be used by me. Otherwise, I would not have made a dream to make a contribution in this era

Brother Li, after listening to the story, it’s time for us to settle the score with this turtle. Chen Sheng wanted to do it after he finished speaking.

Brother, let's wait, I have something to say

Let go if there is fart

Brother, actually, I am not here to make things difficult for my brother.

What tricks are you playing?

Do you know who was killed by that girl?

who?

Zhou Yue’s nephew Zhou Xun is the one who monitors me

Chen Sheng stared at Wang Jinbao silently

Brother, can you tell me why Zhou Yue set this trap and murdered you

Chen Sheng shook his head and said nothing

What's the point of guessing? I didn't have a rest just now. After a brief reasoning, I took the guess and my chest

Brother Li, I heard the details. Chen and Wang said in unison

This is a plan of killing three birds with one stone. First, because the two of you have formed Jinlan, and they are both talented and virtuous people. Zhou Yue is afraid that you and you will join forces to take him and replace him. Therefore, he hopes that you will kill each other and relieve his worries. Second, he possesses this group of tributes collected from the people, but he is afraid that if he does not pay tribute, he will be attacked by the court. Therefore, General Wang pretends to be a robber to seize tribute, so the court cannot be accused of this plan. This plan should be used for the second time, right? I looked at Wang Jinbao, and he nodded and admitted that

Third, I looked back at Zhou Gang and happened to see Sister Yinghong standing up, and hurriedly smiled at her to show comfort.

Although Sister Yinghong's almond eyes were slightly swollen and she was in a heavy mood, she still replied to me and smiled.

The third is for the eldest lady of the Sanwei Escort Agency. When Hongmei killed Zhou Xun angrily, the archers did not dare to shoot arrows. They waited for Zhou Xun to order the arrows. They must have been ordered by Yan to not hurt Hongmei, right? Wang Jinbao nodded again and answered me.

If the escort is lost this time, the Sanwei escort agency will definitely not be able to pay the escort silver. Zhou Yue can use this to force Hongmei to marry him.

With a thump, I looked back and found that it was Hongmei who fainted again and fell into Zhou Gang's arms.

I think she learned that her grandfather's death was related to her, but she couldn't accept it.

Brother Li, it turns out that you are not only skilled in martial arts, but also have such talent. You are really the dragon among humans.

General Wang praised it

Brother Li’s words just now are true every word. Ah, Zhou Yue can only share hardships, but not wealth. In fact, I have no plans to return to Tanzhou this time to send troops. If my brother is willing, I will occupy Yuezhou in one place. I am willing to be the main brother and become a prince?

Brother, do you think this is true?

Wang Jinbao threw his saddle off his horse and knelt on the ground. If there were any false statements, my Wang Jinbao died under the ravage knife.

Chen Sheng quickly snatched out of the shield formation and helped Wang Jinbao up. Brother, you are right, you are indeed my good brother.

Congratulations, congratulations to the two of you for misunderstanding Bingxiao. I also walked out of the shield formation to congratulate him.

Chen Sheng suddenly fixed me with his eyes. Damn, it's bigger than his eyes. I looked at him without showing any weakness for a long time. He seemed to know if he was wrong with me, so he turned his head. Brother, would you like to listen to me?

What are the instructions for the elder brother? I will never refuse

You said you would like to be the master of me to dominate the world, but I still have the ability to know myself. With the power of you and my brothers, you must not dominate the world. Do you think so?

Wang Jinbao was silent for a moment. What the elder brother said was so in accordance with his opinion. What should he do?

Only by looking for a hero and helping him succeed can he be appointed as a marquis and general

Who can be known as the hero in the world when you look at it?

I searched for it without missing a single step, but I got it all. It was far away in the sky and near in front of me.

Ah Wang Jinbao and Chen Sheng stared at me together, and only looked at me made me feel a little scared. Do they want to...

Young Master Li, you are not only very skilled in martial arts, but also have a long-term plan.

In addition, hiding without revealing, advancing and retreating is well-founded, and sacrificing oneself to save others

There is also a young and powerful person with extensive knowledge. If you are willing to compete for the world, you will be famous all over the world.

If you don't dislike me, my brothers will be yourselves, obey your orders, and compete with all the heroes in the world with you.

These two people blasted me like a cannon, but I knew at least one thing, that is, why not for it

Two soldiers and generals, and they have such a beautiful beauty as adults. I feel ashamed of myself. Since the two look down on me, I will not say anything. I held one hand in one hand, and the three of them knelt down in the same row. Huang Tian is on the way, and I, Li Dingguo, Chen Sheng, and Wang Jinbao, have become brothers of different surnames here. I am blessed... not... I die on the same day.

Swedishion is bound to be sworn. The three of us and Zhou Yue made a plan together in the woods and decided not to take Yuezhou, but to return to the army to take Tanzhou. First, Yuezhou is a place for the death to fight, and it is very difficult to expand. Second, Zhou Yue is still in the dark, so we can beat him and not be anxious to defend. Third, Yinghong's sister wants to fight the enemy with her hands.

So we agreed to let Hongmei meet Zhou Yue under the pretext of losing the escort, kill him with a chance, and let Chen and Wang contact their subordinates to control the troops, and wait for Zhou Yue to go and stabilize the situation.

It was decided, Hongmei and I took a few people from the escort agency to leave first, Chen and Wang, and then Zhou Gang pressed the escort and broke the escort, and the group embarked on the return journey again.
