Chapter 66 The Death of Xiao Yanbei
Langu City is not big, because it is an important town on the border of the Northern Han Dynasty. The city wall is nearly three feet high. When Luo and Xiao arrived, they saw that the city gate was closed, but the flag of the Zhe family in the Prefecture was floating on the city. It was thought that after Xiao Yanbei was injured, Langu City was captured by the Zhe family army.
Luo Xiaoyao led his horse to the suspension bridge, bowed to the soldiers on the city wall, waiting for arrows, and said, "I dare to ask if General Zhe De Shou is in the city?"
A soldier who looked like a captain in the city asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm in Luo Xiaoyao, please report to General Zhe..."
The soldier didn't answer, looked at the two of them, then turned around and left the wall, probably to inform Zhe Deshou.
After a while, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered and the city gate opened. Zhe Deshou, who had a serious face, walked out quickly in armor.
Luo Xiaoyao turned over and dismounted. Just as he was about to see the rituals, Xiao Muyun beside him said anxiously: "Where is my father? How is he...he is his injury?"
Zhe Deshou pondered for a moment, his face looked ashamed. Xiao Muyun felt bad, his face pale, and tears were already bursting out of his eyes. He asked, "What's wrong with my father... what happened to him?"
"He... has passed away..." Zhe Deshou whispered.
Xiao Muyun felt that the sky was dark and the ground was dark. He grabbed the saddle beside him with one hand. Fang Zi stabilized his body, and trembled all over and said to Zhe Deshou with trembling voice: "It's you... who killed my father with poisonous wine..."
When Zhe Deshou followed Jiang Qiubai to kill Xiao Yanbei, who was envoyed to the Southern Tang Dynasty in Guangzhou, the two of them also fought. He had just stepped into the foothills of Mingqiao Mountain, and his cultivation was half inferior to Xiao Yanbei, who had been immersed in spirit for many years. Xiao Muyun thought that if he had not used poison, he would have no chance of killing Xiao Yanbei.
"This matter..." Before Zhe Deshou finished speaking, he saw Xiao Muyun pull out his "Shocking Armor" and stabbing him. The sword light rose and a sword energy came towards him. He was shocked and did not dare to take it head-on. He quickly stepped back and said at the same time: "Miss Xiao, listen to Zhe's explanation..."
Xiao Muyun was extremely sad and angry at this time. He took the action to break the ice and get water from the "Taisu Eleven Swords". However, when he saw a move that stabbed the sky, he was a change of move, but it was the "Silver Dew Drop" of Yueshuang's sword technique. He cut towards Zhe Deshou's neck. Zhe Deshou hurriedly flickered to the left to avoid being forced into the moat by her.
Luo Xiaoyao heard that Xiao Yanbei was dead, and was shocked and looked dazed. Seeing Xiao Muyun attacking Zhe Deshou, he didn't know what to do for a moment, but when he heard the sound of "swoosh, swosh, swosh" the arrow sounded, and the soldiers on the city wall led the arrow to Xiao Muyun, and hurriedly drew their swords to block it. The cold light shot out, and the flying arrows fell one after another.
The guard of Zhe De left the "Baita Temple" on Mount Wutai. He was good at entering martial arts with his physical strength. At this time, his cultivation was at the foot of the Ming realm, which was equivalent to the realm of spiritual consciousness entering martial arts. He was naturally superior to the realm of Xiao Muyun's cultivation. Although he did not carry weapons, it would be difficult to force Xiao Muyun to stop and use his energy to break Xiao Muyun's sword energy. However, he was afraid that his fist would dominate and hurt Xiao Muyun, so he only used 70% of his strength to take the action.
The "Taisu Eleven Swords" and "Yueshuang Sword Technique" are extremely exquisite. Although Xiao Muyun's aura is lost and Zhe Deshou has a fast change in the sword style, it is impossible to see the flaws. Moreover, her desperate moves are forcing Zhe Deshou, who dares not exert her strength, to retreat continuously.
But seeing the soldiers in the city turn to thrust arrows and shoot Luo Xiaoyao, Zhe Deshou hurriedly punched out. Xiao Muyun felt the aura of energy and rushed towards him through the sword energy. He paused. Zhe Deshou took the opportunity to withdraw his weapons and retreat more than a foot, shouting to the soldiers in the city: "Don't shoot arrows to hurt people, violators will kill..."
When Xiao Muyun was shouting, he attacked with a move of "Muyun's three styles". The sword move was so good that the sword move was only seen in Zhe Deshou's life. During the flash, the sword energy was like a shadow and had reached two feet of the left chest. If Zhe Deshou used ten successful forces at this time, he could shake the "shock armor" with his strength, but he might hurt Xiao Muyun, so he still chose to avoid it, and his body would dodge to the right.
However, the "Three Styles of Muyun" gathered Yi Wuwei's efforts. Although it only had one move, it changed three times. Although Zhe Deshou moved three feet apart, he saw the sword light transforming like a star point, and the sword energy still attacked with his body. He was stabbed into his left chest when he saw it. With a flash of lightning, a "double" sounded, and the cold air was so cold that it was Luo Xiaoyao who used the "Shuilong Yin" to block the "Shock Armor" attack.
Xiao Muyun thought that he had not expected Luo Xiaoyao to stop him. He paused and tears burst out from his eyes, "You..."
Luo Xiaoyao saw his junior sister who usually smiled and felt sad. He felt sad and felt ache in his heart, and said in a panic: "Junior sister, don't be anxious, listen to Brother Zhe in advance..."
"Hehe..." Xiao Muyun smiled sadly and said, "What a big brother, senior brother, where are you putting me? My father is not in his hands..."
Luo Xiaoyao felt nervous when he heard this. Although the two armies were fighting, it was like a fight between the world and the world, and he was conceited by life and death, as a child, how many people could give up the grudge of killing their father. Xiao Muyun had no way to dissuade him.
But if Xiao Yanbei was really harmed by Zhe De De, he would not open the city gate and come out to meet him. He would not do his best to fight with Xiao Muyun everywhere. It was obvious that he would hurt Xiao Muyun and he would say that he would stop the soldiers in the city from shooting arrows. I guess there must be a hidden story here, not to mention that Zhe De Shou had saved him, but he could not let him be killed by Xiao Muyun. But when he heard Xiao Muyun's sad question, he couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't know how to answer, but he saw Xiao Muyun attacking Zhe De De with a sword again.
In an instant, the sword light circled around, forcing Zhe Deshou to retreat again and again, danger was everywhere. After the five raids, he heard Xiao Muyun's sad shout, and the light spot of "Shock Armor" appeared. Luo Xiaoyao knew that Xiao Muyun was using the "Three Muyun Styles" again. The exquisiteness of this move was that even Shen Liancheng could not see the flaws. Zhe Deshou had no weapons and was unwilling to use his strength to break the trick, so he might be injured under the sword. Luo Xiaoyao sighed in his heart and had to use his move to block the "Shock Armor" from the side.
Xiao Muyun's sword style just started, but was blocked by Luo Xiaoyao again. He felt very sad. He stared at Luo Xiaoyao in a daze, and his expression seemed to be ignorant. He looked at him for a moment, reached out to wipe away the tears from his face, and said several times, "Okay, okay, okay..." With a sad smile, he walked towards his mount like a desolate soul, jumped onto the horse, clamped his legs, and rode away.
Luo Xiaoyao was afraid that Xiao Muyun would make a mistake in his sadness, so he hurriedly got on the horse and chased him. The two galloped forward and back for several miles. Xiao Muyun suddenly lifted the reins to stop the horse. The horse raised its hooves and stopped. Xiao Muyun jumped off the horse and looked coldly at Luo Xiaoyao with a complicated expression, "How are you going?" At this time, he didn't call his senior brother.
Luo Xiaoyao said quietly: "Junior sister, don't be anxious...Ze Deshou thinks there is an explanation...Let me listen first." He was afraid of annoying Xiao Muyun, and he dared not call Zhe Deshou the eldest brother.
"My father threw blood on him and fell to the ground..." At this point, Xiao Muyun burst into tears again and said, "I drank his wine before the fight. If he hadn't poisoned the wine, with his cultivation, how could he hurt my father? Woo, woo..." He suddenly burst into tears.
Luo Xiaoyao was heartbroken when he saw this, but he did not dare to comfort him. He knew that Xiao Muyun was so sad and angry that he only hoped that she would vent her emotions and calm down before persuading her.
Xiao Muyun was crying, but when Luo Xiaoyao was speechless, he only said that he knew the reason was wrong, so he said, "Don't say that I am sincere to you, I only say that I am the same brother and sister. My father is really not in the hands of the thief. It would be better if you don't help me, but you will stop me from taking revenge. Do you have the intention..."
She and Luo Xiaoyao felt in love, and they could feel each other's words and deeds, but they never said it directly. Now they heard Xiao Muyun's words expressing sincerity to him, Luo Xiaoyao felt sweet in his heart, and then Xiao Muyun blamed him, but he didn't know how to answer.
The matter of Zhe De Shuang and Sui was only related to "Feng Wuqin", so he did not tell Xiao Muyun the truth when he was in Liuling Mountain. However, if he answered this reason, it would be even more angering for her and he would not speak silent for a moment.
Xiao Muyun became more and more angry as she thought about it. She snorted coldly and turned around and was about to get on the horse. Luo Xiaoyao stepped forward quickly and reached out to hold her sleeve, "Junior sister, come on..."
"How are you going?" Xiao Muyun shook Luo Xiaoyao away with one hand and said coldly: "I am not the opponent of Zhezi. If you don't help me, I will seek revenge from Master. If you stop me from going back, would you want my father and daughter to die at Zhezi?"
Luo Xiaoyao knew that she was angry in the second half, but the first half was a true word. He knew that Mu Daocheng regarded Xiao Yanbei’s three brothers as if they had already left. Xiao Yanbei died. If Mu Daocheng knew, in anger, the Zhe family would be afraid that there would be no good or bad luck. He heard this and then stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Muyun’s sleeve, "Junior sister, but please check the reason for uncle first..."
Seeing that he was trying to stop him from seeking Mu Daocheng from coming to take revenge, Xiao Muyun couldn't help but feel furious. Before Luo Xiaoyao finished speaking, he pushed it away with one hand, pulled out his "shock armor", pointed at Luo Xiaoyao who had retreated to five feet, and said in a deep voice: "If you stop me again... I will even be you..." I thought that I could not speak badly to Luo Xiaoyao, so I stopped him and looked at him with anger.
"There must be something strange about this matter. It is better to Zhe Deshou, and there is no need to stop the soldiers from catching arrows to shoot you and me. Besides, with his martial arts, even if I don't stop him, my junior sister will not hurt him..." Luo Xiaoyao whispered.
Xiao Muyun felt angry when he heard this, "You are again and again, you...you..." A sword stabbed out, and with a "puff", the "Shock Armor" actually pierced Luo Xiaoyao's left shoulder.
Luo Xiaoyao screamed, but saw Xiao Muyun's face full of shock and pain, and said sadly: "You...I...Why don't you avoid it?" Suddenly, he let go of the hilt of the sword with his right hand, took a few steps, abandoned the scabbard in his hand, and turned around and jumped away quickly, but he heard the sound of the horse's hooves mixed with a sad smile.
She was unwilling to hurt Luo Xiaoyao, and she used less than 30% of her power to stab her out, trying to force Luo Xiaoyao to prove that she was determined to kill Zhe Deshou. Luo Xiaoyao was thinking about how to comfort her, but he did not expect Xiao Muyun to stab him. He was shocked in a trance that "Jingjia" had already reached three points of flesh. If it weren't for his aura to protect his body as he thought, and with the sharpness of "Jingjia", he might have passed through his shoulders. He was shocked but heard a sigh from behind him, which was the voice of Zhe Deshou.
Xiao Muyun stabbed Luo Xiaoyao with a sword, and was shocked and painful. In the midst of the shock, he wanted to go forward to check Luo Xiaoyao's injuries, but saw Zhe De Shou coming and was so sad that he couldn't bear it, so he took the horse away.
Luo Xiaoyao heard the sigh of Zhe Deshou's sigh, and then he came back to his senses. When his mind changed, the energy moved with it. The "Shock Armor" inserted on his left shoulder broke out and fell to the ground. Zhe Deshou walked to him, took out the gold and sci-fi medicine from his arms and applied it to the wound. Then he took off the armor and put it on the horse's back, tore off the sleeves of his body, and bandaged the wound for Luo Xiaoyao.
"This time I have implicated Brother Luo..." Zhe Deshou sighed, leaned over and picked up the "Shock Armor", wiped off the blood from the edge, and picked up the scabbard abandoned by Xiao Muyun, and put the "Shock Armor" in.
Luo Xiaoyao looked sadly at the direction where Xiao Muyun rode his horse away, and remained silent. Zhe Deshou shook his head and sighed: "Brother Luo, please follow me, let me tell you about this..."
When Luo Xiaoyao heard this, he came back to his senses. He sighed helplessly and led his mount and Zhe Deshou toward Langu City. Zhe Deshou was the words of his actions as he walked against Xiao Yanbei.
More than ten days ago, the Emperor of Northern Han sent troops across the Yellow River to attack the Prefectures, but was defeated by the precautionary Zhe Dejian. The Zhe family army took advantage of the victory and followed the defeated soldiers of Northern Han to the city of Baode City.
Baode City and Prefectures were separated by the Yellow River, and they were both fortresses that could be defended by danger. The defeated soldiers who retreated into the city were not fully deployed. They were captured by the Zhe family army in one day. Zhe De took a break in Baode City and ordered Zhe De to be the vanguard and led troops to attack Langu. After three days of siege, they could capture Langu City. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yanbei led the Liao troops to rescue.
It turned out that when the Northern Han Emperor learned that Baode City was taken away, he was suffering from heavy troops stationed in the east and south borders. Liu Jiye, who was guarding the northern border, and Zhe Deyan was in a relationship with his father-in-law and son-in-law, he had no choice but to ask the Liao Dynasty for help. The Liao Dynasty always regarded the Zhe family army stationed in the prefectures and prefectures to prevent the Liao army from going south from the Yellow River as a thorn in the side. As soon as the King of the Southern Court received the Northern Han request for help, Xiao Yanbei led 3,000 cavalrymen to help.
When Zhe Deshou learned that Xiao Yanbei led his troops into the east gate of Langu City, he knew that he could not capture Langu for a moment, so he mourned the Jin to withdraw his troops and gathered his troops at the west side of Langu City. When the second day was about to come, he led his troops to challenge, but Xiao Yanbei led his troops out of the city to fight.
When Zhe Deshou saw Xiao Yanbei in Guangzhou, he had not stopped his beloved daughter Xiao Muyun from interacting with Luo Xiaoyao, he was already admired by him. Seeing that Xiao Yanbei led his troops to meet, he immediately stepped forward to meet him, "Zhe Deshou had met Xiao Dutong."
Xiao Yanbei smiled and bowed his hand to return the gift, "I heard that the heroes of the Zhe family came out, and it was true. When the battle in Guangzhou that day, I was not satisfied yet. It would be better if you and I fight alone today... If General Zhe wins, General Zhe leads his troops back. If General Zhe is defeated and retreats back to the prefecture, what do you think?"
Zhe Deshou pondered for a moment, nodded and responded: "Zhe also has this meaning, then tomorrow is not tomorrow... Zhe took off his armor and abandoned his blade and learned the master tricks of Xiao Dutong."
If he and Xiao Yanbei were both wearing armor and fighting each other, they were cumbersome, and they were wearing armor and riding horses, it was reasonable to fight with armor, but they did not use weapons, like martial artists in the martial arts world, and for the generals fighting between the two armies, it was also a bit of a joke in showing weakness. Xiao Yanbei laughed when he heard this: "Young people are so terrifying, okay, that is the president who will come to see it again tomorrow..."
Xiao Yan fought on the battlefield for many years, and could see the situation on the battlefield at a glance. Now he led his troops to help, and the Zhe family army could no longer easily capture Langu. For the Northern Han, Baode City was a dangerous town that could defend against the invasion of Hexi. However, for the Zhe family army who crossed the Yellow River and captured it, Baode City was a threat. It was separated from the Yellow River from the prefectures, but it was inconvenient. If the Northern Han troops counterattacked, it would be easy to regain. If the troops in the Lone City were defeated, they would be defeated and would be taken by the Northern Han.
He thought that the Zhe family army came to seize Langu, intending to seize Lanzhou. If Langu is blocked now, if they fail to take advantage of the situation, they will retreat. The Zhe family army has always been brave and good at fighting. It is not easy to capture the prefectures, but it is a great achievement to get the Zhe family army back to the prefectures. Therefore, he said that he would fight alone with Zhe Deshou to decide the advance and retreat of the troops, and naturally wanted to avoid unnecessary casualties of soldiers.
His martial arts skills are slightly better than those of Zhede Shu. Although it is not easy to defeat Zhede Shu, he will definitely win a move and a half-stage after a long time. However, after hearing Zhede Shu's answer, he made an appointment to play with empty hands, knowing that he is not a person who is afraid of death. In this way, this kind of fight suggests that he is a sign of retreating. Therefore, it is said that Zhede Shu is fearful for his future generations, which is indeed a praising his cleverness in judging the situation.
As Xiao Yanbei expected, although Zhe Deshou was young, he was also familiar with military tactics. At present, Xiao Yanbei rushed to help and seize Langu was impossible. Baode was in the territory of Northern Han, and became an isolated city. The defenders would greatly reduce their strength. In order to capture the city and plunder the land, not only did the soldiers fight in front of the battle, but also needed the help of the civilians in the back. Therefore, the Zhe family army loved the people as their sons, and he was unwilling to make unnecessary sacrifices.
Zhe Deshou knew that his martial arts was slightly inferior to Xiao Yanbei, but he would have to fight for several days and nights if he wanted to separate his life and death. In this situation, it would be impossible to trap Langu for a long time. When the soldiers and horses from the Northern Han arrived, it would be unfavorable, so he made an appointment to compete empty-handedly and stop. He decided to go back to the camp to advance and retreat after the victory and defeat.
Before the next day, Zhe and Xiao met in front of the formation. When the competition began, Zhe Deshou bowed and said, "Zhe Dutong is broad-minded, and Zhe admires it. Unfortunately, there is a difference between the enemy and me, so we cannot make friends with each other. Today, we will take this opportunity to treat Xiao Dutong with one cup."
"Haha... OK," Xiao Yanbei smiled and said, "It is a great pleasure to be able to fight the men of the Zhe family. It should be a congratulations with wine."
When Zhe Deshou saw the heroic man in Xiao Yanbei, he called out soldiers, took the wine bag and poured the wine bowl, and toasted each other. Seeing this, Fan Gongfeng from the Han and Liao formation hurriedly rushed forward, "Sir, please be arrogant..." He was afraid that Zhe Deshou would poison the wine.
Xiao Yanbeizi also understood his concern, "Mr. Fan is a hero of the little brother-in-law, haha..."
After laughing, he took the wine bowl and Zhe Deshou to show off. The two of them drank it all, and they all said they were happy. Fan Chongfeng had to smile embarrassedly and retreat back to the formation.
After drinking, the two bowed each other and tried to fight each other. The swordsmanship was a double whip, which came from the family tradition. The martial arts of fist and palm were learned from the "Baita Temple" in Mount Wutai. They practiced the Buddhist "arhat boxing" and the "Great Compassion Palm". Mu Daocheng learned from the monk who was traveling. The martial arts of fist and palms also came from the Buddhists. The one he taught with Xiao Yanbei was the Buddhist "Little Wuxiang Palm".
The two of them were hard and soft, but their qi was similar. In a cup of tea, they had already fought thirty moves. They felt that Xiao Yanbei's qi had weakened and their moves gradually slowed down. They only said that he used a move to lure the enemy, so they used three moves in a row to force Xiao Yanbei to stretch the distance to cope with his accumulated critical attack.
When the last "Arhat Fist" that opened and closed was hit, it was said that with Xiao Yanbei's cultivation, it was easy to avoid and block. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yanbei could not avoid it, and could not block it. He was hit by a punch and flew nearly two feet away. He sat on the ground, vomited blood, and gasped, "You...you poison..." and fainted.
Zhe Deshou was shocked, but when he heard Xiao Yanbei say that he was poisoning, he was stunned for a moment. At this time, there was a burst of exclamation in the Liao and Han gang formation. Fan Gongfeng was already flying. Zhe Deshou knew that Xiao Yanbei's life and death were uncertain. If he was robbed, an accident would happen in the future. He might have no choice but to make a move to stop Fan Gongfeng.
Seeing that he won, the morale was greatly boosted, and the sound of drums was heard. The three thousand soldiers and nearly ten thousand soldiers in the camp rushed over. The thousand Liao cavalry in the array under Langu City saw that Xiao Yanbei was injured and fell to the ground, and rushed to rescue him. However, the two thousand Han soldiers in the formation fled to the city. For a moment, the formation was in chaos, and it was difficult to stop the more than ten thousand Zhe family troops from the army from the army from the convoy. The coalition troops were killed and injured. The city gate was not closed in time. However, the Zhe family troops took the opportunity to enter the city.
Fan Gongfeng knew that he could not take back Xiao Yanbei, so he had to follow the riots into the city and escape from the east gate, and rushed to Mingyue Villa to report the news. Xiao Yanbei was carried back by Zhe De Shou and returned to the camp. After less than half a cup of tea, he died.
After the general of Zhe De finished his talk, he had already arrived at the Langu City Gate. Luo Xiaoyao, who listened silently along the way, sighed, "Please take me to see Uncle Xiao's body..."
Zhe Deshou nodded and led Luo Xiaoyao to Langu County. In the cellar in the county yamen, Xiao Yanbei's body was placed on a wooden board.
Luo Xiaoyao walked slowly to the body and stared for a long time. He remembered the scene of drinking with him in the Xiao Mansion in Yunzhou in the past month. He was very sad. But he knew that Xiao Muyun would be heartbroken if he was here. When he felt something, he was tears. He stretched out his hand to untie Xiao Yanbei's blood-stained robe and carefully checked his injuries. However, he was shocked, "Uncle Xiao was poisoned to lose his cultivation energy..."
"Yes," Zhe Deshou said, "Xiao Dutong's chest was slightly sunken, and his flank bone was broken... Judging by the strength of Zhe's punch at that time, his cultivation was less than 30% of his energy at that time."
"If it weren't for this, with Uncle Xiao's skills, even if Brother Zhe's full force attack, his instinctive reaction would suddenly gather and protect each other, and he would never have such a big injury. Judging from the injury, it means that he could no longer use qi to protect his body." Luo Xiaoyao nodded and pondered: "When Brother Zhe's thirty moves, he found that Uncle Xiao's qi had subsided... Can you tell me how many Uncle Xiao had at that time?"
"At that time, General Xiao should have 80% of his strength. Zhe said that he wanted to accumulate strength and suddenly fired, so he took the initiative to force General Xiao to retreat so as to prevent him from hitting him with all his might, but he didn't expect...ah..." He said with a very guilty to himself, thinking that if he didn't punch one after another, Xiao Yanbei wouldn't have died.
"After thirty-three moves, I was hit by a punch...that means that Uncle Xiao's cultivation and energy suddenly lost 50% of his energy within the three moves...?"
Luo Xiaoyao's words were filled with thoughts and thought, if the wine was poisonous, if the two of them drank the wine poured out of the same wine bag, Zhe Deshou was fine. If he used poison, unless he took the antidote first, he knew that Zhe Deshou would not act as a despicable act of using poison in secret.
After a change of thought, I remembered that I had been hit by Liu Gongwen's "Shen Feng San" and that my aura faded... But the "Shen Feng San" was used externally. When Zhe Deshou and Xiao Yan fought against each other, they were nearly a hundred feet away from their own military formations, and there was no one around them. There would be smoke when the "Shen Feng San" was cast, but they could not hide the eyes of everyone.
Chapter completed!
