It was just past noon, and the late autumn sunshine passed through the withered willow shade along the river, and the small boat with a black roof was pushed to the shore.
On the street, the fight between Chen Fan and Lin Zongwu knocked open the bamboo shed and scattered the remaining bamboos flying into the sky.
The muzzle of the sniper rifle swayed along with the fiercely attacking figures.
The boy jumped over the river.
In the midst of the violent attack, Lin Zongwu picked up one of the bamboo poles flying in the sky and jumped out across the river.
The two great masters moved like lightning. Chen Fan punched Lin Zongwu in the back, while Lin Zongwu waved his arms and the bamboo pole roared.
With a loud bang, cassocks spread all over the sky.
at the same moment.
——Bang bang bang.
The gunshots of sniper rifles sounded almost at the same time, attacking Lin Zongwu from different directions.
Ning Ji turned around in the air and swung the steel knife in his hand from bottom to top with all his strength.
With a bang, the steel knife and the bamboo pole shattered into sharp rays of light that shot across the sky, leaving bloody lines. Ning Ji's figure slammed into the bow of the awning boat, and the whole boat tilted high on the river.
stand up.
Qu Longjun on the boat was almost thrown out by the upturned hull. At this moment, Ning Ji, who had hit the boat, used his strength again. He jumped up like a leopard with all his strength and pounced on Qu Longjun in the air, throwing him
She took it back.
There was another crash, and the awning boat crashed back into the water, causing violent fluctuations. On the other side, Lin Zongwu took his cassock and fell into the water, sinking to the bottom of the river amid huge waves.
The waves crashed on the shore.
The muzzle of the sniper rifle moved above the river, blocking Lin Zongwu's possible escape position. In the moment just now, he and Chen Fan were fighting closely, and the three hasty gunshots may not have hit the high-speed leaping
figure.
The sound of fighting in the distance passed over the river bed, and the awning boat rolled staggeringly. Then there was only a sound of "ah——", and Ning Ji stood up on the boat. His clothes were in tatters, half of his body was stained with blood, and his face
There was also blood leaching out from the boat, making the young man's face look a little ferocious. The frightened expression on his face quickly faded as he was shaking. He picked up a bamboo pole that was about to fall off the side of the boat, pushed it into the water, and pushed the boat with all its strength.
Support to the rear.
In the river, there seems to be a giant beast moving forward.
Chen Fan was walking on the shore, staring at the movements in the water. The gunmen in different directions also held their breaths. War horses were galloping from a distance. With a "wow", the boat swung backwards, and then, again
There was a "wow" sound.
People are waiting for Lin Zongwu to take action again from the water.
For such a master-level master, holding his breath in the water is not a big deal. He lost control because of Wang Nanda's death. Once he got out of the water, he would definitely strike Ning Ji with a thunderous blow. However, at this moment, the gun made of
The killing array has also blocked the sky above the water. As long as he leaps out, the Grandmaster whose speed is slowed down by the river water will be shot firmly.
But for some reason, there was no violent movement in the river, as if Lin Zongwu jumped into the river bed and escaped from the water.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths...
Ning Ji, who was half covered in blood, pushed the black-topped boat out for a while, then turned to look at Qu Longjun, who was slumped in the cabin, and then subconsciously looked at Chen Fan and others by the river. At a certain moment, he suddenly used force
, and let the boat approach the other side of the river.
The moment he reached the shore, he picked up Qu Longjun and walked towards the road by the river. He waited until he was about ten feet away from the river bank before turning back from there.
On the other side of the river, Chen Fan, who was on guard against Lin Zongwu jumping out of the water, looked at him from a distance and tilted his head.
Among the snipers, several people who knew Ning Ji, including Yuwen Feidu, also frowned slightly, but then turned their attention to the water.
Qu Longjun was held by Ning Ji, and she felt that her hands were sticky and full of blood. She gently touched Ning Ji's bloody arm and whispered: "You, you..."
Ning Ji turned around and said, "...let's go."
"……ah?"
Qu Longjun blinked his eyes, and then was dragged by Ning Ji into a narrow alleyway. Soon, he disappeared from the sight of everyone on this side of the river.
"Rabbit...bastard..."
Chen Fan gritted his teeth and muttered.
But there was no way. At this moment, everyone, including him, could only stare at the river bed, waiting for Lin Zongwu to come out again...
****
In the center of the city, the fierce fighting near the Jiuwu Yamen lasted for more than half an hour, and then turned into a more chaotic situation and spread throughout the city.
Before noon, the sound of grievance drums rang out at the yamen gate, announcing that the four kings' defense line had been broken. After the fighting continued for a while, a large number of Green Forest people who had lost their command swarmed chaotically towards the northwest and northeastern periphery of the old wu yamen.
Lu Xian, covered in blood, with one arm affected by the bomb and in tatters, retreated to the rear under the guard of several young men from Lijia Village, surrounded by warriors with colorful decorations. The black flag was raised with the flag of King Ping Ping.
Rising above the yamen, as the news of the defeat and escape of the Great Guangming Cult leader Lin Zongwu spread on a large scale, the will of the warriors who were originally in the center of the battlefield began to collapse one after another.
"King Gaotian" sat down and "founded the mountain general" Luo Yan, "Abi Yuantu" swordsman Peng Tiangang was killed one after another, and "Jackdaw" Chen Juefang, the leader of the "Undead Guard", was seriously injured in the fight, which was also the reason for this rout.
The main reason for the occurrence.
The turbulent crowd passed through the streets and alleys. Everything seemed chaotic. Some people screamed and some cursed. Jin Yongsheng, the big shopkeeper of the "Equality King" party, sent some people to shout at high places and still tried to restore order. But not only the green forest on the other three sides
People were unwilling to pay attention to him. Even among some masters who had been won over by the "King of Equality" in the first place, their hearts were floating at this moment.
In the distance, there were lines of beacon smoke burning in the city, and there were explosions.
"What's going on?" Lu Xian, who noticed the movement in the distance and looked a little dazed due to his injury, reacted and ordered the men next to him, "Go and inquire."
The other party quickly moved away.
Not long after, patchwork news came back.
"The news of the breakup of the Five Kings of the Fairness Party has spread, and the news of the arrival of the Black Flag has also spread. It is said that a war has begun in Jiangnan. Every family in the city is now only thinking about themselves and starting to fight..."
"Every family in the city...there are only five families in the city..."
When Lu Xian said this, he suddenly realized something and his face suddenly turned pale.
Are there more than five Fairness parties in the city?
Various groups that fought out from the turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, under the banner of the five kings, came to Jiangning City in dozens and hundreds of groups, waiting to gather together while grabbing benefits and territory. Of course, among them, there were members of the five kings.
The direct line is the branch with strong control, but more than half of them are the mountaintops that were killed by blood and ferocity.
When the situation of the Fairness Party was very good, they were waiting to be incorporated into a regular army, but no one expected that the Fairness Party would break up and this would be the beginning of a new round of formation.
Before submitting their names again, they had a choice and regained their freedom.
"Ah..." Lu Xianchang hissed and looked back to the south side of the field of vision. Over there, among the fluttering black flags, various flags had fallen down one after another, and a large number of people, including Li Duanwu,
The corpses of relatives and friends cannot be contained in this fashion.
Around him, the few remaining young people from Lijia Village were looking into the distance. They had not yet realized the situation they would face next. Lu Xian gritted his teeth and finally spoke with difficulty: "Quickly, go back..." He said:
"go home……"
"But Uncle Duanwu and the others..."
"quick--"
He growled lowly.
The Green Forest people gathered here in confusion, and on the periphery of the crowd, people who saw the civil war in the city were already dispersing in different directions, like a huge sandbank dissolving. Lu Xian and several young men who were also covered in blood passed through
In the city that has begun to undergo widespread turmoil, small forces with dozens or hundreds of people have begun to confront and attack each other, and the sensitive people who are prepared for a rainy day have begun large-scale plunder.
Returning to the market that the villagers of Lijia Village had robbed, they saw that a group of bandits wearing various ragged clothes had already launched an attack on the market. Some people shot igniting arrows into the market, and the women and children in the market were attacked.
They were shouting to put out the fire, while the few young people or old people who stayed here were resisting the killings from the other side at the rear of the fortifications.
The blood flows.
Several young and strong swordsmen around him were so excited that they saw it, and someone said: "It's Cao Xiang's gang from the 'Big Dragon Head', they took advantage of the situation to rob them -" someone shouted and jumped forward.
Lu Xian's eyes turned red when he saw it. He clenched the long knife in his hand and rushed over.
He screamed in his mouth: "I am Lu Xian, the vanguard of 'Heavenly Killer' Wei Yanwen. You don't want to live anymore?"
Cao Xiang and other subordinates of "Big Dragon Head" used to fight the autumn wind near this place. They were always respectful to the "Heavenly Killer" group and did not dare to offend them. But at this moment, the leader named Cao Xiang glanced around and saw
After seeing the desolate look of Lu Xian and others, he immediately laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha... The Black Flag Chinese Army has entered the city to support King Fairness in suppressing you and other rats. Lu Xian, you don't even know that you are about to die. Today, we will send our troops to King Qin to do justice for heaven - "
As he spoke, he took out a large black charcoal-like flag from behind and waved it in the air. The morale of the many murderers around him suddenly rose. Everyone shouted and spread towards the market here. In the blink of an eye, they were covered.
He saw the bright red vision in front of Lu Xian.
Lu Xian screamed in despair.
Rushed over and killed...
…
The chaotic conflicts in the city spread, and on some of the main roads out of the city, the wars between small and medium-sized forces have ignited continuous fires.
News of the black flag's appearance and the increasingly clear situation are causing complex chain reactions in the city.
In the afternoon, around Shen Shi, countless Da Guangming Sect members roared in, flooding everything near the old Wu Yamen.
It is said that Lin Zongwu, the leader of the Great Light Cult who was once defeated by Chen Fan, after disappearing for nearly an hour, mobilized all the followers he could mobilize to fight back here.
Everything has been reduced to dilapidated ruins. The black flag troops that appeared briefly, suppressed the four kings head-on and achieved their goal, have fled without a trace. They have no interest in repeatedly entangled with a large number of mobs in the city.
Long Xian Fu Pingbo's troops also began to shrink and move towards the north of the city after the chaos in the city got out of control.
It was already the evening when the sun was pale. The "number one man in the world" who was huge but had just suffered a defeat was walking on the ruined battlefield. He found the body of his junior brother Wang Nanda and collected his remains.
A crying little bald head followed him, and together with him, he completed the entire process of collecting the body.
There were also representatives of many forces retreating outside the city at dusk.
In several courtyards in the north of the city that were still controlled by Fu Pingbo, a delegation from the southwest and the elite of the 29th Army from the Miao border gathered together. Also coming with them was Zuo, who was the envoy of the small imperial court in Southeast Fujian.
Xiu Quan and others, Yue Yun and Yin Ping looked at Chen Fan, Qian Luoning and other masters, whispering. Chen Fan waved his hand and called Yue Yun over, tested the opponent's martial arts skills, and then taught him
Some tips on how to use boxing.
Chen Fan was born with supernatural powers, similar to Yue Yun's qualifications. The two discussed boxing techniques, which was of great benefit to Yue Yun.
While everyone was talking, a young girl with a heroic look on her face, accompanied by Hei Niu and others, came out from the side and mustered up the courage to ask Chen Fan something.
Chen Fan was a cheerful and kind-hearted person, and he did not put on any airs towards such juniors with low martial arts skills. However, after the other party stated the problem, he asked a few more questions. Even though he had been a general for many years, he already had the look of a city official.
They all showed complicated expressions.
The opponent's name was Yan Yunzhi, and he came here to find a young man named Long Aotian in the Chinese army. During the fight at noon today, the opponent rushed all the way to the center of the battlefield. She couldn't catch up, and she didn't want to find the opponent to settle some personal grudges at that time.
However, later on, the young man angered Lin Zongwu and was chased by the fat monk. After everyone chased him and fled far away, the young man and Lin Zongwu never came back. Now Black Flag spread the news that Lin Zongwu was seriously injured and escaped, but
…
"What about Long...where's Long Aotian..."
Lin Zongwu's martial arts skills were so great that if he didn't have a musket today, he would have been able to overwhelm the entire crowd by himself. After going into a rage, he wanted to chase down a fledgling young man. Even though Chen Fan tried his best to intercept him, he seemed to be unable to really keep him. Later.
Black Flag only said that Lin Zongwu had escaped. As for the situation that the young man might encounter, the girl had some speculations in her mind. When she asked, water suddenly flowed from the corner of her eyes. Concerned with the answer, she stared at Chen Fan. At this time
I didn't notice anything unusual about myself.
After asking about the ins and outs of the matter and understanding the consequences of "Long Shaoxia"'s lies in Tongshan County, Chen Fan subconsciously reached out and rubbed his face, trying to make his eyes look pure and innocent, speechless.
"This... that..." He glanced at Qian Luoning, Hei Niu and others, and then said, "Actually... Xiaolong, he... was a little injured.
And... we sent him to other places to perform a task... Yan, Miss Yan, regarding your family's affairs, I think... this... he has a responsibility, and we will try our best to... um, give it to him.
Just tell me, this..."
His words were hesitant, which gave the girl opposite room for complex reverie. I don’t know what she thought of. She blinked and her black pupils swayed: "He...he performed a mission...where did he go...
Marshal Chen, you..."
"Well... this... after all, the mission must be kept secret... we didn't expect that he still had unfinished business... this..."
"He... is he dead?" Yan Yunzhi stared at him. At this moment, her figure seemed extremely thin and her voice was choked.
"No, no." Chen Fan frowned, "Absolutely not...Miss Yan, what about this matter..."
"You don't have to lie to me, I am just... I am just..."
"Ah..." Chen Fan slapped his head, "It's really not true, Miss Yan, he is really not dead..."
There was a rush in the hall. Qian Luoning's eyes twitched and his eyes were serious. Hei Niu and others covered their mouths with their hands and turned their heads to the side. Yuwen Feidu, who had witnessed Ning Ji running away, had no choice but to come out and said: "No.
, No..." However, this matter cannot be explained in detail, so how can it be believed? Yue Yun and others looked at all this in confusion and anxiety.
Soon after, everyone calmed Yan Yunzhi temporarily and persuaded him to continue. Chen Fan and Qian Luoning looked at each other with complicated eyes. Since Zuo Xiuquan and others were still there, they still had some information about the great achievements of a certain runaway boy.
We have to wait until we can have a discussion in private... It gives me a headache just thinking about it...
Then someone came over to report Lin Zongwu's reappearance.
Zuo Xiuquan in the hall smiled and said: "Chen Shuai came here for this matter. I wonder if he will take action against Leader Lin to complete this unfinished battle."
Chen Fan shook his body and the anaconda was still swollen.
祕奕四马诘ゴ蚨蓝 Fenfenxing∷Yueforgive?
"Oh." Zuo Xiuquan nodded solemnly.
At this moment, he finally understood the hierarchical structure of warriors in the world: Ning Yi was the only one in the world who could kill Master Lin in a single fight. Since Chen Fan thought so, there was probably no doubt about this judgment.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, a capable person can do anything. He had some doubts about Ning Yi's martial arts training before, but now he could only admit that there are indeed talented people in the world who look up to him.
Chen Fan didn't know what the old scholar on the side was thinking, so he paused for a moment: "But... after today's battle, Fatty already knows where his limits are. From now on, he can no longer boast of his personal courage.
…”
In today's chase along the river, Lin Zongwu gradually disappeared after falling into the water and did not continue the chase. This was definitely not because he had a profound enlightenment and gave up his hatred. The only possibility was because he felt that once he jumped out,
If he reaches the water, he will be shot to death with a musket.
Over the years, Ning Yi has continued to advance the craftsmanship of muskets. In order to deal with a master of Lin Zongwu's level, he has also conducted a large number of plans and deductions. In theory, he is sure of defeating Lin Zongwu, but this has never been put into practice.
.
After this time, the threat of the musket killing array to a master of Lin Zongwu's level has been proven.
The romance of the world is one step further away for real people.
Zuo Xiuquan's original intention was to give Chen Fan some kind persuasion. At this time, he heard that he had given up the idea of continuing to compete with Lin Zongwu and stopped continuing. At this time, Fang said: "It seems
The Chinese Army still has high hopes for He Wen. When I return to Fujian, I will report this to His Majesty. With His Majesty's character, he may also make an alliance proposal for He Wen."
Chen Fan smiled: "According to Ning Yi, the Chinese Army will have high hopes for those who have hope and ambition. I heard that Southeast has bet on General Gao, and I might as well help him match up one or two in the future."
"We just killed the generals under King Gao Tian, what did Chen Shuai say?" Zuo Xiuquan smiled, but then he held his hand, "The world is dangerous, people's hearts are unpredictable, anything is possible, and the Fairness Party is in chaos now.
, Southeast may not be able to make many promises, but if there is hope for cooperation in the future, I will definitely work for it, and I hope there will be some benefits."
"I hope so." Chen Fan nodded, "I quite like that little emperor over there, so give him my regards. In addition, Zuo Wenhuai is good. We have cooperated in Tanzhou. I heard that he is going to
After leaving Fujian, let him come back and sit down when he has time. The 29th Army will always be his home."
"I will convey it to you if I know how to convey it." Hearing what Chen Fan said, Zuo Xiuquan laughed loudly and kept raising his hands, "Your Majesty has heard of Chen Shuai's deeds and applauded him several times for the Battle of Tanzhou. If
Hearing what Chen Shuai said today, I must be happy. As for Wen Huai, thanks to Chen Shuai for taking care of him in the past, everyone in the Zuo family is grateful for this love and meaning. He will return to the Huaxia Army to visit relatives in the future. Chen Shuai
He must go here, hahahaha..."
The two sides talked like this for a while. After a while, they talked about the situation and the situation in Jiangnan. Zuo Xiuquan asked: "I wonder when the Chinese army will leave here?"
Chen Fan said: "There are only so many people here. Things have been done. If we stay for a long time, we will have long nights and many dreams. We will set off in about two days tomorrow."
"The Chinese army planted a flag in Jiangning City, but it seems they have no intention of taking over the place."
"Tanzhou and Jiangning are thousands of miles apart. As for Chengdu, they are even further apart. How can we have the strength to clean up the mess here?"
"That's the truth of course, but... Jiangning is Mr. Ning's hometown. After this war, it will be even more dilapidated."
When the old man said this, he sighed slightly. Chen Fan hesitated for a moment when he thought of this. Then, he looked at the movement outside the courtyard and sighed.
"yes……"
Outside the courtyard, the chaos and noise in the city became more and more intense. This is a city that has lost its order. Flames, military disasters, disorderly fighting and chaos will sweep here again. At noon today, the chaos that broke out around the old Wu Yamen
This fierce fight will become part of the entire Fairness Party's propaganda trend in the future. However, the real core focus has already left here at this moment.
On the Yangtze River nearly a hundred miles away from Jiangning, a huge fleet of ships was marching forward in a mighty way. The rustling river wind had already brought with it a bit of chill like early winter. Under the pale sunset, what could be seen?
Wen was wearing a single coat and stood on the deck of the ship. Facing the world that was about to become so solemn, he had stood there in a daze for a long time.
At this moment, Jiangning's layout has been launched, and may have come to an end. The black flag will be raised over Jiangning City, as if announcing the brief arrival of Mr. Ning from the southwest, and together with Lin Zongwu and the other four kings,
The masters started fighting.
That would be a battle that would stir up the hearts of all martial arts practitioners, but to him, the result of that battle was not important.
On September 22, the second year of Wu Zhenxing, with the beginning of the small battle in Jiangning, between the hundreds of towns bordering Xuzhou in the north and Lin'an in the south, from both sides of the Yangtze River to the fertile fields of Taihu Plain, across the waterway
, the hundreds of thousands of King Ping Ping's troops that had already been mobilized had launched simultaneous attacks on the important towns and key areas under the jurisdiction of the other four kings.
With the breakup of the five kings of the Fair Party, at this time, the entire land thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River has been involved in the endless flames of hell.
The river wind is howling.
He Wen stood there, looking at his palm.
At this moment, he didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong, and he didn't know whether he would be able to see the sun at this moment next year.
He would think of what Ning Yi asked Qian Luoning to bring, it was like Ning Yi standing in front of him, looking at him indifferently.
Regardless, this is a progressive movement.
Only further movement is progress.
but……
You still have to take the right second step, the third step...
…
He lowered his palm.
…
However, any wrong step taken in the past can only be washed away with blood now...
This is what Ning Yi didn't say...
It is also a sin that he cannot atone for...
…
Did Ning Yi make a mistake...
What will happen to him?
…
Will he feel guilty for the countless deaths?
He thought quietly.
…
The fleet rides the wind and waves, carrying the great Asura, and sails in the center of Purgatory.
