Chapter 32 In Crisis
Arriving at the opposite bank, under the surveillance of the guards, the group went ashore again.
The opposing general and his troops came to pay a visit to Shang Dynasty Zong. This side has not yet completely rebelled. It is still a member of the court in name, and Shang Dynasty Zong is still the prince of the court. Generally speaking, the Shang Dynasty Zong here is considered polite and polite, and everyone knows that the Shang Dynasty Zong is not a member of the imperial court, not to mention an enemy.
The generals here wanted to host a banquet, but Shang Chaozong politely declined, and only wanted some supplies. He didn't have a good impression of these self-respecting rebels, he was also a royal family after all.
However, this side is still polite, and specially sent a ten-man team to escort Shang Chaozong and his party, saying that they wanted to escort Shang Chaozong out of Guangyi County.
Shang Chaozong didn't refuse, and he couldn't refuse. He knew that it was called an escort, but it was actually a surveillance. After all, he had five hundred elite cavalrymen in his hands. He could charge into battle if he formed a formation, and he might not be able to stop thousands of infantry in formation. Living, it can fully cooperate with the actions of the imperial court. The relationship between Guangyi County and the imperial court is here, and people have to guard against it.
The group went on the road again, followed by a small tail. The young general named Qu Wu, who led the team, followed the surveillance all the way not far or near, passing through post stations and reporting the situation along the way.
After entering the territory of Guangyi County, in fact, it was not far from Xiaonan Mountain. The next day, I finally arrived at the foot of Xiaonan Mountain. The hilly forest area next to the official road is the so-called Xiaonan Mountain.
Shang Shuqing tilted her head and shouted, "Brother!"
Shang Chaozong raised his hand with a solemn expression. The reason for his solemn expression is that the people here have already judged that Niu Youdao will part ways with them sooner or later, and he can't keep him. It's related to the matter, and it's time for Xiao Nanshan to bid farewell to Niu Youdao.
A group of people and horses saw the gestures ordering and prohibiting, so they all reined in, and the people and horses stopped on the road.
Sitting on the back of the horse, Shang Shuqing, who was wearing a gauze hat, leaned forward slightly, turned her head to look at Niu Youdao at the other end, "Master, don't you want to deliver a letter? Xiaonanshan is here."
"Oh! Is it here?" Niu Youdao looked like he just knew.
Chu Ze was the centurion in charge of the outpost scouting. He pointed to the road leading into the mountain not far away: "This is the way to enter Nanshan Temple!"
Niu Youdao turned his head and pointed to the package hanging on Yuan Gang's horse, and said, "Monkey, the letter is in the package, please run for me!"
Yuan Gang silently nodded, put the reins on his hand, the mount left the team, turned half a circle on the spot, raised his whip and pointed at a personal guard in the team, and said bluntly: "You, walk with me for a while trip!"
The guard's name was Su Jieren, and when he saw that he was pointed at, he couldn't help but looked at his leader in astonishment. Shang Chaozong turned his head and nodded as a signal, and he rode out on his horse. Yuan Gang flicked the reins and galloped his horse towards the mountain road, Su Jieren followed behind.
"Be alert!" Lan Ruoting shouted, and at the same time winked at Guan Tie beside him.
Guan Tie understood, nodded slightly, and led a team to guard in one direction. Most of the 500 cavalry were ordered to disperse the guard.
Qu Wu, a young general from Guangyi County who was in charge of monitoring, ran over with his men and asked, "My lord, what's the matter?"
Lan Ruoting replied with a smile on his behalf: "It's nothing, I sent someone to Nanshan Temple to deliver the letter, and it won't take much time until they come back."
Qu Wu said "oh", led the people back away, and kept looking around...
"follow me!"
Yuan Gang, who was galloping on the mountain road, suddenly turned his head and shouted, his mount turned around, turned down the mountain road, and rushed into a dense forest with gentle terrain.
Su Jieren rushed in following the turn. Not far into the dense forest, Yuan Gang in front suddenly stopped his mount again, silently observing the surroundings.
Su Jieren stopped close and asked suspiciously: "Brother Yuan, aren't you going to deliver a letter to Nanshan Temple?"
"Get off the horse!" Yuan Gang said, jumped off the horse, took off the horse's bundle, and took out a set of clothes from it, which were Niu Youdao's clothes.
Just as Su Jieren got off his horse, he caught the clothes thrown by Yuan Gang by surprise, and hugged him confusedly.
Yuan Gang raised his chin towards him and motioned, "Change clothes!"
"Why?" Su Jieren was puzzled.
Yuan Gang: "Change it as soon as I ask you, how can there be so much nonsense!"
Su Jieren felt a little helpless, so he had no choice but to follow suit. The movement was a little slow, and Yuan Gang shouted again, "Hurry up!"
Changed his coat three times, and Yuan Gang stepped forward to pull his hair again, wanting to change his hairstyle.
This time Su Jieren quit, covered his hair and backed away, and said vigilantly, "What are you going to do?"
Yuan Gang didn't force it, "Go back if you don't want to, go back and tell the prince that you don't want to do errands for me, and ask the prince to find someone who is willing to come over."
"..." Su Jieren was speechless and helpless, and finally complied.
After a while, Yuan Gang changed his hairstyle into Niu Youdao's casually tied ponytail, and slapped a letter on Su Jieren's chest. Let’s just say that you are Niu Youdao, a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, and you were ordered by the sect master to deliver a letter, asking to see the abbot! Sending letters is secondary, and the most important task is to observe the situation in the temple, remember?” The last sentence is purely for stability. Living Su Jieren, vague existential danger.
After some instructions, the two got on their horses again and left the dense forest, then returned to the mountain road and continued on their way. Running to the location of Nanshan Temple on the top of the hidden mountain, Yuan Gang once again hid in the forest on his own, while Su Jieren rode his horse and rushed to the top of the mountain alone.
Hiding in a remote place in the forest, Yuan Gang set up the horses, and quickly sneaked towards the top of the mountain on foot. Finally, he hid in the canopy of a big tree and watched, witnessing Su Jieren entering the gate of the temple with his own eyes.
"Host, a person came outside, claiming to be Niu Youdao, a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, and said that he was ordered by the head to deliver a letter to the host."
In the main hall of the backyard, the host Yuan Fang was drinking tea and talking with Song Yanqing and others when a disciple came to report.
Before Yuan Fang could reply, Song Yanqing stood up abruptly, his eyes gleaming, hey hey, "Sure enough!" Turning around, he said to Yuan Fang, "Let someone come in!" Then he beckoned to Xu Yitian and Chen Guishuo, He led the two of them to the side room to avoid temporarily, and Song Yanqing even poked a few holes in the window paper of the compartment.
Yuan Fang was quite helpless, he didn't want to get involved in the disputes among the cultivation sects, that's something he, a mere demon, could afford to provoke, but he had no choice but to wave his hand to the disciple who informed him, "Please come in!"
Soon, Su Jieren, who had been observing the surroundings all the way, came, greeted Yuanfang after meeting, took out the letter from his arms, and presented it with both hands.
Song Yanqing in the side room frowned. How could he not know Niu Youdao? Let's see what's going on!"
The two of them took the order and walked out of the side room directly, not avoiding the fake cow at all, and left quickly.
Yuan Fang opened the letter, shook out the letter paper inside, looked up and down, left and right, turned over and over again, but he didn't understand what it meant, he just couldn't find any handwriting, it was clearly a blank piece of paper!
Song Yanqing, who walked out, reached out and snatched the letter, glanced up and down at Su Jieren, and then looked back at the contents of the letter in his hand, his eyes froze, what's the matter? Immediately, I checked it over and over again...
At the gate of Nanshan Temple, Xu Yitian rushed out quickly and ran down the hill, looking both ways.
Yuan Gang, who was hiding in the canopy of the tree, watched quietly, his gaze flashed again, and he saw another figure flashed out of the temple wall, stamped his feet on the top of the wall, came over the air, and landed on the top of the tree outside the temple. With the help of the treetops, it bounced up again lightly, as light as a flying swallow, and floated all the way across the treetops, its eyes were also searching left and right.
It was Chen Guishuo who came, and he and Xu Yitian worked together to check.
Yuan Gang, on the other hand, complained secretly. It was really a coincidence that Chen Guishuo floated all the way in the direction where he was hiding. Now he dared not change his position to hide, and he might be discovered if he moved. So he remained motionless, and could only hope that Chen Guishuo didn't notice.
However, he was not so lucky. Chen Guishuo, who had bounced from the canopy in front, had locked on to him before he landed on the canopy here. His pupils shrank suddenly, and with a clang, he drew his sword casually and shook it out. Jianhua rushed towards Yuan Gang who was hiding in the air.
Yuan Gang slumped down, stepped on a branch of the tree trunk, took off with a sprint, and also flew out, flying from the tree on one side to the tree on the other side.
With a few swishing sounds, the branches and leaves shattered and danced, and the sword light flickered. The branches and leaves of the canopy that were blocking the way were twisted and smashed by the sword shadow in Chen Guishuo's hands. He stomped on the tree without stopping, and a person pierced through the canopy like a flying swallow , One person and one sword continued to chase and kill Yuan Gang.
Yuan Gang, who flew to another tree, pulled a branch and fell to the ground. He dodged and ran in the woods. When he saw that the other party was as light as a swallow and could fly on the treetops, he knew he was in crisis. That was no ordinary samurai at all.
Chen Guishuo, who was chasing after him, did not touch the ground, and kicked left and right on the tree trunks in the forest. The speed was not comparable to Yuan Gang's escape speed. There was a whistling sound, and the palm force blasted towards Yuan Gang from the air.
Sensing the danger, Yuan Gang didn't have time to dodge, his back was stiffly arched, there was a loud bang, and he was slapped hard, and he flew out at a shocking speed, and suddenly opened the gap between him and his pursuer. Distance, continue to run wildly.
Chen Guishuo let out a "huh" in surprise, he didn't expect the other party to act like a normal person after being slapped by him, and continued to chase after Yuan Gang who was avoiding by circling around in the forest with the help of trees. The sword stabs out.
Yuan Gang dodged sideways, brought down the tree trunk in front of him with his arm, and walked around behind the tree. It can be said that he made a circle around the tree.
Chen Guishuo, who was chasing after the tree trunk with a sword, might as well kill Yuan Gang from the other side, not to mention that Yuan Gang dared to counterattack. Listening to the wind of the fist, the strength seemed to be quite strong, and he slapped out hastily, hard Take a punch.
Boom! With a loud bang, Yuan Gangzhen lost control of his figure and rolled backwards down the mountain.
Chen Guishuo fell to the ground in a shock and took several steps back, his hind legs propped up on the slope to stabilize himself, he was a little startled, this guy has so much brute force!
Yuan Gang's punch also completely aroused Chen Guishuo's murderous intentions. He flew up again, and soon caught up again. The sword light flew down and covered Yuan Gang below. , but to hurt the killer!
