Chapter 532
Since the seventh year of Daye, Zhang Xutuo has been serving as the governor of Qi County. It has been six years now. Countless rebels have been wiped out by his hands. The Bafeng Camp under his command has shocked the north and south of the Yangtze River, and almost all the dominating forces have been defeated.
All the heroes were frightened by it. It was called the Optimus Prime Stone of the Sui Dynasty (also known as the fire captain). It even gave people the illusion that as long as Zhang Xutuo was still alive, the country of the Sui Dynasty would not be defeated.
There is no doubt that Zhang Xutuo is an extremely powerful person. Gao Bufan has only heard about it and has never seen Zhang Xutuo's true appearance. But at this moment, he recognized this person at a glance as the famous Zhang Xutuo.
Tuo, because only such a person deserves to be called "Zhang Xutuo"!
At this time, the white-haired Yang Yichen walked out of the darkness surrounded by more than a dozen generals. He sighed with a complicated expression and said: "Gao Changqing, actually I don't want to see you here, but you still come.
Already."
"Sorry, I have to come." Gao Bufan took out a broken wooden board from his arms and threw it away.
Yang Yichen frowned and said: "It seems that you are already alert, so why do you want to take risks?"
"Nothing else, just asking for peace of mind." Gao Bufan's expression was surprisingly calm.
Yang Yichen nodded and said: "I understand, it seems that you do have an affair with Dou Xianniang, the daughter of the rebel Dou Jiande. Is it worth ruining your own bright future and even risking your life for a woman?"
Gao Bufan shook his head and said: "It's not a question of whether it's worth it, it's a question of whether it should be done. Line Lady is my woman. I think she should be saved. It's that simple."
Yang Yichen sighed and said regretfully: "Gao Changqing, I actually admire you very much. If you are willing to sever ties with the rebels from now on, loyally assist the emperor, and support the Sui Dynasty, I can plead with the emperor on your behalf and spare you from the death penalty.
, allow you to continue to make meritorious deeds."
Gao Bufan cupped his hands and said, "I understand Mr. Yang's kindness, but do you believe it yourself?"
Yang Yichen suddenly became speechless and a little embarrassed!
Gao Bufan said calmly: "Since the day I received the imperial edict, a big net has been opened against me. The emperor even did not hesitate to transfer General Zhang from Qi County. This shows how determined he is to kill me. Mr. Yang
Knowing this, but still urging me to surrender, it is nothing more than fear of the soldiers and horses under my command, and it is just a temporary delaying strategy."
Yang Yichen was exposed in front of him, and he couldn't help but coughed in embarrassment and said: "It's not necessary to be afraid, but it is always good to reduce some losses, but I do appreciate you very much, and this sentence is true."
Gao Bufan smiled and said: "I also admire Mr. Yang very much. He is indeed an old man and a ghost. The way you pretend to be sick is so clever that ordinary people can't imitate it."
Yang Yichen was suddenly choked and became speechless again.
"How presumptuous, Gao Changqing, how can you still laugh even when you are about to die?" the general named Hu next to Yang Yichen shouted sternly.
Gao Bufan said calmly: "Why can't you laugh? Mr. Yang and General Zhang are both famous figures all over the world, but they are acting on the same stage tonight. General Zhang even put on women's clothes. It is such a wonderful performance, why not smile?
"
Zhang Xutuo was ridiculed but was not angry. He said calmly: "Gao Changqing, you are talking and laughing so calmly. Do you think you can escape today?"
Zhang Xutuo's voice was slightly deep, as cold and hard as his facial contours, full of metallic texture.
Gao Bufan gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a faint smile: "I have long heard that General Zhang has unparalleled martial arts skills and is powerful throughout the country. I am not very talented. I want to learn a thing or two. But before I take action, I have a question. Please ask me.
General Zhang will clarify my doubts."
"Speak!" Zhang Xutuo cherished his words like gold.
"How did you learn about my relationship with Dou Xianniang, and how did you use this to lure me into a trap?" Gao Bufan asked.
Zhang Xutuo said calmly: "I just received the emperor's secret order to capture you, and I don't know anything else."
Yang Yichen coughed slightly and said, "Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you. It was Liu Wuzhou, the general of Ying Yanglang of Mayi County, who recognized Dou Xian Niang and tipped off the secret to the emperor."
Gao Bufan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It turned out to be Liu Wuzhou, so that's not surprising. Fortunately, it wasn't Qing Ruo who told the secret. Qing Ruo also knew about the existence of Xian Niang a long time ago.
"Gao Changqing, do you have anything else to ask?" Yang Yichen asked politely, not because he was very friendly, but purely out of "Taoism". In other words, in Lao Yang's eyes, Gao Bufan will definitely die today.
.
Gao Bufan shook his head, raised his hands to Zhang Xutuo and said, "Please give me some advice from General Zhang."
Zhang Xutuo moved, leaped into the sky with a bang, and slashed down with his sword in his pocket. Gao Bufan's eyes flashed, and he shouted: "Well done!"
Boom boom boom...
In the flash of light and stone, Gao Bufan had already slashed Zhang Xutuo more than a dozen times. The swords were like wind, thunder and fire, and the fierce sword energy surged around, causing everyone nearby to retreat.
Bang bang...
Gao Bufan and Zhang Xutuo fought fiercely for dozens of rounds. They hit each other with a palm almost at the same time, and the sword light scattered all over the sky. Gao Bufan took five steps back and spit out a small mouthful of blood, and
Zhang Xutuo took three steps back, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"General Zhang!" The swordsman and gunman who had previously attacked Gao Bufan rushed forward to protect Zhang Xutuo.
Zhang Xutuo shook his head, looked at Gao Bufan with sad eyes, and said calmly: "Gao Changqing, you are indeed very strong. If you hadn't received a slap first, my general might not have been able to kill you tonight."
Gao Bufan was horrified at this moment. Zhang Xutuo's martial arts was much higher than he thought. Now he was in trouble. He said calmly: "General Zhang may not be able to kill me now."
Zhang Xutuo remained silent. He tore off a piece of cloth from his sleeve and wrapped it around his right hand. He opened and retracted his fingers, gripped the handle of the knife again, and then rose into the sky again. When the knife was light, he slashed straight at the head of his pocket, following the second
The attack was exactly the same, but the momentum was a few points better.
The more powerful you are, the stronger you become, and the more you fight, the braver you become. This is the famous general Zhang Xutuo!!!
Gao Bufan swung out a blade of light and fought fiercely with Zhang Xutuo again. When they were killed, sand and dust rolled in, the sun and the moon dimmed, and all the spectators around felt the fierce aura of the sword.
At this time, Gao Bufan suddenly let out a loud roar and whirled around with a knife, which was like a shocking and unstoppable blow. There was an explosion, but Zhang Xutuo blocked it, but Gao Bufan's second knife struck again, boom...
Boom, boom, boom...
Gao Bufan slashed five times in a row, and Zhang Xutuo blocked five of them. Every time he blocked the sword, he took a step back. The contours of his face, which were originally cold and hard, rarely loosened, and a flush filled his face.
Yang Yichen's expression changed slightly when he saw this, and then Gao Bufan roared again, which made everyone present have their eardrums buzzing.
I saw Gao Bufan still making the same move, turning around and slashing out with his sword. Whoosh, the fierce sword light burst out for several feet, and with a bang, the sword in Zhang Xutuo's hand broke.
"not good!"
"General Zhang!" The swordsman and the gunman rushed out.
Gao Bufan was about to use another strike to pursue the victory, but suddenly his Dantian was empty, and he couldn't even muster any energy. It was as if the power suddenly "cut off", just like the situation he encountered on the cliff last time.
Oops, the chain dropped at the critical moment!
Zhang Xutuo was about to retreat to save his life, but suddenly he saw Gao Bufan falling straight from the sky, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
The swordsman and the gunman were overjoyed when they saw this. They cut with their swords and stabbed with their guns. Seeing that Gao Bufan was about to die in their hands, suddenly there was another "call". Gao Bufan was so angry that he rolled on the spot.
He avoided the swordsman's knife, but was stabbed in his left calf by the gunman's gun. Although it was only a scratch, blood was still gushing out.
"I have learned General Zhang's skills today, see you later!" Gao Bufan shouted loudly, raised his hand and threw out a large amount of lime, turned around and ran away.
Although Gao Bufan was eager to save people, he still made some preparations. Although the method of spreading quicklime was a bit clumsy, it was very effective. The swordsman and gunman were splashed a little in the eyes, and they dropped their weapons and covered themselves with pain.
Stop and scream.
"Gao Changqing, where are you running? Fire arrows!" Yang Yichen shouted, and the archer immediately released a wave of arrows.
Gao Bufan exerted force suddenly, his speed suddenly increased, and he leaped forward several feet. The wave of arrows fell on the ground behind him. Then Gao Bufan made another leap and ducked behind a tent.
Zhang Xutuo and Yang Yichen hurriedly led the crowd to chase after them. When they got around the tent, they found that no one was there, and then there was a sound of horse neighing in the distance, and a horse galloped wildly outside the camp.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Countless sharp arrows were fired at the horse. The poor horse was turned into a hedgehog on the spot and fell to the ground with a mournful scream.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance again, and several horses were galloping in different directions at the same time. Yang Yichen's expression suddenly changed and he blurted out: "No, I fell into a trap."
It turns out that the horse that was shot to death just now was just an empty horse!
"Where is it!" Someone shouted pointing to the east. Everyone looked and saw a figure on horseback rushing away from the camp.
Yang Yichen shouted sternly: "Stop him and don't let Gao Changqing escape back to the camp, otherwise there will be endless trouble!"
Zhang Xutuo said calmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, Gao Changqing can't escape."
Let's say that Gao Bufan rode his horse all the way out of the camp. When he came to the camp fence, he cut the crossbar with his knife and knocked him out.
At this time, it was dark and windy, and the night wind was blowing in front of him. Gao Bufan looked back at the fire behind him during his busy schedule, and suddenly felt a sense of surviving after a disaster.
However, before Gao Bufan had time to breathe a sigh of relief, countless torches suddenly lit up in front of him, and a group of people blocked the way. The general at the head had a sallow complexion and held two maces. It was Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, and dozens of archers behind him had already drawn their bows.
When you nock an arrow, murderous intent will flow on the arrow.
Gao Bufan's expression changed slightly and he quickly reined in his horse!
Qin Shubao's mood at this time was complicated, and his face was also complicated. He cupped his hands and said solemnly: "As long as you ask Mr. Gao to turn around, Qin Qiong will not hurt you at all!"
Without saying a word, Gao Bufan turned the horse's head and galloped south. He did not blame Qin Shubao for being ungrateful. As the saying goes, everyone has his own master and obeying orders is the bounden duty of a soldier. Qin Shubao did not order the arrow to be fired, which was already very rare.
