Chapter 6: Entering the Insert

What's wrong?

Wu Sangui looked around and the situation was different.

Cheng Zongyang quickly looked up, but saw no movement. Are you saying there is an ambush?

It is unusual for so many of us to come here, and the birds do not fly or branches do not move in the forest.

Shi Chao stretched out his head from the car. What happened?

It's okay, you can rest.

Cheng Zongyang thought for a while and ordered: Wu Dadao, call Xiao Hou!

Wu Zhanwei ran over, and saw Xiao Yaoyi laughing with him immediately, then waved to Cheng Zongyang, while rushing towards the valley entrance without stopping.

Cheng Zongyang caught up and whispered: Boy, you are looking for death!

Xiao Yaoyi smiled and said: Have you forgotten that we are the bait?Brother Cheng is so fussy, how can the fish take the bait?

Cheng Zongyang gasped and looked at the valley in front: Is this Yingchou Valley?

In front is a narrow valley, with rock walls on both sides like knife cutting, and the entrance is only more than one meter wide, only enough for a carriage to pass through.

Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but see the scene of five hundred crossbowmen sealing the valley entrance and flying arrows.

Is there an exit on the other end?

Where is the exit!

Xiao Yaoyi smiled and said: The valley is narrow in front and wide in the back, surrounded by cliffs, and there is a large forest inside, one or two miles wide. As long as you keep the exit, no matter how big the beast is, it cannot escape, and it is suitable for hunting.

Cheng Zongyang said: Do you want us all to go in and let someone catch a turtle in a jar?

If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you get a tiger’s son?

Xiao Yaoyi said: Don’t worry.Since Old Man Xu said that, he would not do anything randomly, let alone his precious son.It was not that easy for those great monks to eat our two hundred soldiers.

Cheng Zongyang felt a little relieved. Since Xu Du said he wanted to protect himself, the threats from the powerful soldiers in the state could be put aside.

The only remaining military force in Jiankang City is the imperial guard controlled by Mr. Xiao.

As long as the army is not used to siege, these families have nearly 200 guards, ordinary martial arts heroes dare not take action easily.

Zong Yang was still a little worried and ordered: Chang Bo, stay outside, don’t pay attention to any movement, and go directly to the city to bring the army.

Wu Sangui said: I'd better stay with the young master.If you want to command these mobs, the young master may not be able to join me!

Cheng Zongyang laughed and scolded, "You are the only one who is competitive!"Forget it, Xiao Wei, you're outside.

As he said that, he lowered his voice, no matter what happened, saving his life is important!

Xiao Wei nodded and left the team silently.

As the carriages and horses moved into the valley, Cheng Zongyang felt more and more uneasy. He looked around and asked: Where are the people from the Xu family?

Then the person in front shouted: Who!

A strong horse ran out of the forest, which was Xu Ji, whom I saw yesterday.He shouted from afar: Little Marquis!Mr. Cheng!Our young master just drove out a white deer and was catching him, so that the young man would come to welcome you!

White deer?

Zhang Shaohuang's eyes lit up, this is auspicious.

Isn't it just a deer?What auspicious and unlucky ones?

Brother Cheng doesn’t know that my great Jin Dynasty is harmonious and auspicious.On that day, Huanglong swam across the river estuary, and the late emperor specially set up the Shenlong Hall and changed the reign to Huanglong.Later, when the new hall was built, hundreds of people from Chiwu gathered in the hall.As the late emperor saw it with his own eyes, he immediately named the Chiwu Palace and changed the reign of Chiwu.

Zhang Shaohuang said endlessly: The white deer appeared this time, which shows Your Majesty’s virtue.Such a great contribution, don’t be stolen by the boy of the Xu family.

As he said that, he whipped Cheng Zong's horse back and shouted: Brother Cheng, let's go and open your eyes too!

Cheng Zongyang had no choice but to follow him into the valley.

Children from other aristocratic families also have the same thoughts.

Speaking of which, although the Zhang family and Xu family had officials of fourth or fifth ranks in their ancestors, they were still inferior families in the eyes of the children of these aristocratic families.

However, Zhang Shaohuang's sister was the favorite concubine of Emperor Jin. The Xu family made military achievements, and everyone had similar feelings and kept some face.

Now that I heard that Xiangrui appeared, I had a thought in my heart: such a great contribution cannot be stolen by others.

Cheng Zongyang smiled bitterly. When these people heard that Xiangrui was like crazy, their mount was wrapped in the middle and they couldn't get out even if they wanted to, so they could only run into the valley together.

While leading the way in front, Xu Ji turned around and asked everyone to follow him.When the carriage and horses entered the valley, he suddenly pulled the reins and the horse rushed into the forest diagonally.

Cheng Zongyang was not interested in Xiangrui and kept staring at Xu Ji. Seeing this, he was shocked and turned quickly and shouted: Xu Ji!Where to go!

Xu Ji turned a blind eye and his speed was getting faster and faster.Xiao Yaoyi waved his hand and several guards immediately followed him.Xu Ji tried his best to beat the horse, and was about to escape from his sight, Cheng Zongyang gritted his teeth and took off his bow and arrow.

The black pearl suddenly neighed, and stepped lightly, and the horse came over.Several followers next to him were unable to pull the horses, and the horses suddenly fell down and fell into the trap with neighing sounds.

With a tense bow, Xu Ji in the distance fell down and fell backwards from the horse.Wu Sangui put away his horn bow, jumped off his mount, and flew to chase him.

Xiao Yaoyi's face was as deep as water. Five horses fell into the trap during the pursuit and broke their front legs. The guards were good at it and all jumped away from the horses in time, only one of them was slightly injured.

The team behind was already in chaos, and most people didn't know what was going on here and shouted: What's wrong?

Which waste fell off the horse?

Get out of the way, don’t mislead me to capture the auspicious!

Xiao Yaoyi waved his hand, and several guards pulled out their short swords and cut off their whineful mounts one by one to prevent them from suffering.

Wu Sangui brought the injured Xu Jie back and threw it to Cheng Zongyang's horse.

The man's wrists had been broken by Wu Sangui, and he drooped softly. He was shot in his back, his lungs were damaged, and blood kept pouring out of his mouth, but his smile was extremely happy.

Xiao Yaoyi kicked him in the face: Fuck your mother!The dead guy is laughing so hard!

Xu Ji spitted blood, even if the little marquis killed me, it would be difficult for Li Yingchou Valley to live today!I am a little person like an ant, and I am really lucky to be buried with the little marquis.

Xiao Yaoyi spat and said: You are worthy too!It’s almost the same as a little boy like you to be buried with Old Man Xu.Hey, Old Man Xu dares to imply me. It’s really a birthday boy who drinks arsenic and thinks that his dog lives too long.

Xu Ji sneered: Xu Sikong will capture you all today and seize the military power of the imperial guards tomorrow!Let every household die!

Xiao Yaoyi used a horse whip to lift his chin, stared at it for a while, and suddenly smiled.Little boy, you don’t even say a word, I’m suspicious, and I’m so full of words that I’m just showing off.You came out with Xu Du on your back?

Xu Ji's face changed slightly.

Xiao Yaoyi said in a cold voice: Say it!Is the one who instructs you that bastard Xu Ao?

Xu Ji suddenly opened his mouth and bit it on his tongue.Xiao Yaoyi had a quick eye and quick hand. He whipped his face with a whip, knocked him off his chin, and kicked him down with one kick.

Xiao Wu!Don't smear my boots.

Xiao Wu came over without saying a word and brought Xu Jie to the forest.Zhang Shaohuang and Huan Xin had already arrived, and Shi Chao also lifted the curtain of the car and looked at this side, shouting in a row: What's wrong?What's wrong?

Before he finished speaking, he heard a few screams from the valley entrance.Then a dense and powerful wind sounded, and crossbow arrows flew over like raindrops, shooting the guards behind them and killing them.

Cheng Zongyang whispered: Hurry!All retreated into the woods!

The horses neighed, screamed, and roared in a mess. After a while, everyone retreated into the forest.

At this moment, six guards had died, and more than a dozen were injured.

One of the teenagers of aristocratic families was shot on the shoulder by a crossbow arrow, making a howl like a pig.

Xiao Yaoyi was impatient when he heard this and kicked him out before he could calm down.

Seven or eight children from aristocratic families were all scared and looked deserted. Zhang Shaohuang hugged the bow and screamed: Brother Xiao!

What's going on!

Xiao Yaoyi smiled: Mr. Zhang, we are all plotted by that boy Xu Ao!His old man wanted to usurp the throne and wanted to catch us all in one place.

No!

Huan Xin shouted: Are there soldiers from the state government outside?

Laosan Huan, Old Man Xu is coming for you. Who doesn’t know that your father is also the governor of the military affairs of the six states. He has never been able to pee in the same pot with Old Man Xu?

Huan Xin's face turned pale.Shi Chao next to him was crying even more. Who knew that hunting would cause death?

Cheng Zongyang felt more and more uneasy as he heard the boy speak nonsense.Both he and Xiao Yaoyi speculated that the opponent would use sneak attacks, but unexpectedly, it was Ming Dao and Ming Gun's head-on impact.

Dare to fight against their team of hundreds of people, this fish is very small.I hope Xiao Wei can escape in time and don’t let this big fish really give up all the baits.

The ambusher used crossbow arrows to seal the valley, but did not move for a moment.Xiao Yaoyi shouted: Brothers, we are all on the same boat at this moment, and we work together to settle the score with Old Man Xu!

The young men of those aristocratic families were silent, but their guards applauded: We have more than 200 people, and those idiots outside can beat them ten of them alone!The little marquis is right. Let’s break out and settle the score with someone named Xu!

As he said that, someone picked up the shield and rushed out.

As soon as he came out of the woods, several crossbow arrows flew over at the same time. The man raised his shield and was shot back by the crossbow arrows. Then his foot was penetrated by the crossbow arrows and fell to the ground.

Wu Zhanwei roared, drew his sword and cut off the crossbow arrow, pulled the man's shoulder with one hand, and dragged him back.

Cheng Zongyang and Xiao Yaoyi looked at each other and shouted: Damn!I said it was a military crossbow!Eighty percent of them are still slashing.

The crossbow uses both feet to step on the string of the crossbow back. It has a stronger force than ordinary crossbow machines and a longer range. It is only equipped by the army and is strictly prohibited from holding it by the people.

Everyone's heart was covered with a dark cloud, and they didn't know what to do.

Xiao Wu came out from behind the tree, Young Master.

Xiao Yaoyi said: Did you say it?

Xiao Wu said: That guy is very stubborn.

Xiao Yaoyi jumped off the horse, came to the back of the big tree with Cheng Zongyang, and kicked Xu Ji's legs without hesitation, arching him like a shrimp, and coughing up blood.

Xiao Yaoyi didn't say nonsense and said directly: Say it.

Xu Jie's chin had closed, and he gritted his teeth, and a look of crazy appeared in his eyes.

Tough guy Ah!

Xiao Yaoyi waved his hand, Xiao Wu, get a torch, and need to be fine. Slowly roast the baby's eggs on low heat and feed him to eat!

Xu Ji shouted: I have the kind of killing me.

Kill you?Aren't you stubborn?If you have the kindness, you will live for me!

Xiao Yaoyi stepped on his face and twisted it with the sole of his boots. Don’t think that you can bite your tongue and commit suicide. It depends on whether your teeth are faster or your feet are faster.

Xiao Wu found a branch as thick as a candle, wrapped it with an oil cloth, lit it on the fire, and then slashed Xu Ji's pants.

A trace of fear appeared in Xu Ji's eyes and suddenly shouted: I'll say!I said!

Xiao Yaoyi kicked him, the eggs were not roasted yet!What's the hurry!Who is it!

Xu Ji panted for a long time, then stretched his neck and shouted: Prince--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As he said that, he hit the Spurs behind Xiao Yaoyi's boots hard.

Xiao Yaoyi was equipped with a gear-shaped spur behind his boots. The edges of the fine iron were sharper than the blade. He cut open the artery on Xu Ji's neck, and the cut blood vessels were sprayed out like a fan of blood. His body spasmed for a moment, and then stopped moving.

The two stared at the body, and finally Cheng Zongyang spread his hands, OK.How many princes do we have in Jin State?

Xiao Yaoyi's expression seemed to have eaten a stool: more than a dozen.Damn, can anyone among the Sima family be deceived by Old Man Xu and direct his state soldiers?

Cheng Zongyang's heart shrank.

As far as he knows, the only prince in the Jin Dynasty who has military power is the King of Linchuan. Could it be that he wants to take the lead in getting rid of the Xiao family and rob the imperial guards?

But why didn’t Yun Cangfeng tell himself?

The sound of trumpets started, and neatly striking armor pieces came from the valley entrance.

Then five soldiers holding shields appeared at the valley. They wore heavy helmets and the shield on their hands was wide and thick, almost covering their entire bodies, revealing only the parts of their eyes.

The heavy armored soldiers stepped slowly with a slight stride. Behind them were five crossbow soldiers, followed by five swordsmen and five spearmen.

Cheng Zongyang remembered the argument between Yi Biao and Xie Yi during the Ghost King's Cave. This is what he mentioned as a small battle formation.

Those usually arrogant and arrogant guards showed a look of fear at this time and looked back at their heads from time to time.

These people are all good at bullying men and women and provoking trouble, but when faced with the regular elite Jin army, they were timid first.

Chang Bo!

Cheng Zongyang called Wu Sangui and said a few words in his ear.

Wu Sangui nodded, raised his horn bow, and the sound of the bow strings sounded one after another.

In front of the array, a soldier raised his shield to block the arrow, but unexpectedly, the beaded arrow was shot. The first one was shot at the edge of the shield, and the next one flew towards the tassel of his helmet.

The soldier shook his body back, and his helmet slipped halfway, revealing his tightly tied hair.

Cheng Zongyang said: He is not a monk from the Buddhist Cave Temple.

Xiao Yaoyi said with a cold face: He is a soldier from Stone City.

Jiankang is adjacent to the river. The stone city on the side of the river is the location of the Jin army's naval camp. There are thousands of warships and tens of thousands of soldiers. It is also the strongest army around Jiankang except the imperial guards.

The battle formation of twenty people advances to a distance of 200 steps, then moves away, and the same battle formation behind fills the gap left to form a row of ten people.

One more was added at a distance of 150 steps, forming a row of fifteen people.

Finally, the battle formation stopped a hundred steps away, and the battle formation also turned into a row of twenty people.

After a young man jumped into the formation, he said: Xiao Marquis, he will hunt the East Mountain today and gain a lot of money.

It turned out to be you?No wonder it can make the soldiers in the prefecture.

Xiao Yaoyi shouted: Xu Ao!Are you not afraid of the clan’s punishment when you raise troops on your back?

Xu Ao said lightly: It depends on people, and it depends on heaven.It is not just me who usurped the throne?Now that the imperial destiny of the Jin Dynasty has ended, it is time to change the surname.

Cheng Zongyang whispered: It's not right.Xu Ji said it was a prince, and this kid said to change his surname. Could anyone in Jin be the king of different surnames?

Xiao Yaoyi shook his head, never heard of it.

A soldier suddenly jumped up, and with a snatch, a sharp arrow shot into the shield, and the arrow feathers shook slightly.

A strange smile appeared on Xu Ao's face: Mr. Zhang, good arrow skills.Don't worry, you won't hurt you.

Among those children of aristocratic families, Zhang Shaohuang is quite brave.He took advantage of his speech and shot an arrow and attacked him. Unfortunately, he was a hundred steps away and his strength was insufficient. He was easily blocked by a soldier and couldn't help but snatch him from it.

Xu Ao said sternly: I will only take Xiao Yaoyi’s life today!The others will be tied up when they get off the horse, and I, Xu Ao, will save you your life!

Seeing the military formation come out, the children of the aristocratic families have long lost their temper. After hearing Xu Ao's words, they all felt a little moved when they looked at me and me, but because of Xiao Yaoyi's reputation for being arrogant for many years, no one dared to speak.

A terrible thing!

A voice said loudly: You lied to his soldiers on your back and made them rebel.Xu Ao!I'll ask you!You are good at dispatching soldiers, do you have Xu Sikong's military orders?

Although the sergeant opposite was silent, his eyes were full of doubt.

The children of those aristocratic families mustered up their courage again, and Huan Xin shouted: Brother Cheng is right!Xu Ao, it turns out that you did a good thing Lord Sikong behind his back!These soldiers are all good families in the prefecture, and they are not your private soldiers. How can they make trouble with you?

Everyone started to clamor.

Xu Ao sneered: My father has already resigned from his military position, so why do you still need his military order?

As he said that, he raised his elbow and whispered: This is General Zhendong's tiger talisman!Have the right to mobilize the soldiers of the state!Who doesn’t accept it!

Xiao Yaoyi shouted strangely: Xie Wanshi!You are a bucket!Even the tiger talisman was lost!

A family of aristocratic families shouted: Damn, it turned out that the Xie family was causing trouble.

fart!

A child of the Xie family said angrily: When did Xie Er have the courage?

Xu Ao said in a deep voice: All soldiers!Follow my orders!Take down these bandits!Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!

Those who kill Xiao Yaoyi will receive five thousand silver zhu!

promise!

The soldiers didn't know who was the traitor, but Xu Ao held the tiger talisman in his hand. He heard that he was right and immediately rushed forward.

Several children of aristocratic families hurriedly called on their subordinates to defend the enemy. Although the guards were good at fighting, they were a mob in perfect comparison with these regular soldiers. They barely supported for a while and were defeated and rushed into the forest.

The young men of those aristocratic families ran faster, and Shi Chao was so scared that he almost foamed at the mouth, hiding among the servant girl, trembling all over.

Wu Sangui grabbed his head.Young Master, you should do it.

Cheng Zongyang laughed in anger: General Wu, you just said that you could command these mobs, why are you softening now?

Wu Sangui spread his hands, but they didn't know who I was.

Cheng Zongyang knocked him on the head with a horse whip: Only when he was dead now did he remember it?If you are careful, you will be much better than you!

Wu Sangui smiled and rubbed his head.

Soldiers poured in from the valley, and crossbow arrows spread across the sky, and more than half of them greeted Xiao Yaoyi.

That boy looked very cool, not to mention that his head was worth five thousand silver baht, so it would be unfair to get half of the arrow.

Xiao Yaoyi was unable to tell his clones, let alone those young masters of aristocratic families. Whether it is Zhang Shaohuang, Huan Xin, or the evil young men who usually run rampant in the city, they are all rushing to escape now.

If this continues, it will soon become a one-sided massacre.

Wu Zhanwei also shouted: Head Cheng!You'd better come on!In the Southern Wilderness, we listened to you and worked hard all the way!

It’s not a time to be polite now. Cheng Zongyang jumped onto the horse against a big tree and shouted with all his strength: I am Young Master Cheng of Panjiang!Brothers!No one can survive if he is in trouble!Follow my orders!Xiao Wu, don’t worry about your little marquis, that kid will not die!You take the guards of the Xiao family to guard this side!Give me enough time to keep a cup of tea!

Xiao Yaoyi waved to him while signaling to Xiao Wu.Xiao Wu carried two long knives with hooks and roared, leading the guards of Xiao's mansion to guard several big trees, and asked everyone to retreat as soon as possible.

With trees covering, the threat of crossbow arrows is much smaller.Everyone fled back like a rush, and Cheng Zongyang caught up with the Shi family's carriage and pulled off the curtain.

Fatty Shi!Stop shaking!From now on, you are my command!

After saying that, he didn't wait for him to answer, and shouted: Listen to me by all the people from the Jingu Shi family!Xu Ao was rebellious and the imperial guards would come to quell the rebellion in no time!Brothers!Wealth and honor are in danger!Master Shi has already said it!As long as you can fight today, everyone will reward you on your merits!There are all rebels on the other side, beheading one level and rewarding five hundred silver chunks!

Those guards were all desperate people who were seeking money in danger. When they heard such a reward, their blood was boiling, and they were ready to scream.

The Shi family, Xiao family and Zhang family came to hunt for the most part, with more than 100 people in total, accounting for half of them.

Cheng Zongyang summoned the Qi Shi family's guards to set up a defense line in the forest, and responded to the retreating Xiao Mansion's guards, and then called Zhang Shaohuang's entourage to support him. Finally, with the help of the protection of the dense forest, he temporarily stabilized his position.

Chang Bo, how about it?

A dead end.Behind is the cliff.

Wu Sangui inspected the surrounding terrain and there was a hill to the west. As long as you guard it well, it could last for several hours.

Cheng Zongyang looked up and looked at him, Where is the little marquis?

Wu Sangui Yile: He went east.That boy was really a good piece of material, and most of the pursuers were led away.The surname Xu is now anxious to restrain his troops.

No wonder the pressure here is greatly reduced, which allows me to arrange it calmly.Cheng Zongyang said: Just go to that hill!Xiao Wu!Stop resting, follow Chang Bo!

Xiao Wu's two swords were covered with blood and said with a smile: OK!I will leave the camp to our brothers!

Cheng Zongyang glanced at the Shi family's carriage. The servants were all faded, and the stone was as soft as mud, and they kept asking for the gods to recite the Buddha's name.

Cheng Zongyang was angry and laughed, and called Wu Zhanwei: Wu Dadao, you take Young Master Shi and retreat to avoid getting in the way here!
