Chapter 73 Senior Brother, Are You Still Wanting Me?
Chapter 73 Senior brother, are you still willing to have me?
Jiangxi is in complete chaos.
Without the leader Xu Shouhui, and his general Chen Youliang also died, the rebel generals refused to obey anyone and were unable to choose a new leader who could convince the masses.
In Jinling City, all the officials couldn't help but be happy.
There was no pressure from Jiangxi for the time being, and Song Xuan directly ordered to mobilize 50,000 horses to go north again to capture Anqing and other places.
According to Lan Yu's military report from the north and the news from the Tsing Yi Guards, although Lan Yu was leading an army for the first time, his tactics and strategies were improving rapidly every day.
This guy is very self-aware and has a lot of troops, but he doesn't waste any time. Instead, he fights steadily, city by city.
The first to fight against Lan Yu was Liu Futong's army.
But no matter what conspiracies you Liu Futong plays, Lan Yu won't pick up on it. He just spreads out his troops openly, advances step by step, and bombards you with several rounds of artillery. All the troops will be defeated by you!
Although this style of play was slow, it was so sure that Liu Fu jumped up and cursed.
He was less than twenty years old, but as steady as an old dog, which really surprised Liu Bowen and other civil servants.
According to Li Shanchang, General Lan Yu was born to fight. This kind of person is destined to go to the battlefield from birth.
Song Xuan did not interfere with Lan Yu's fighting style.
Famous generals are all made on the battlefield time and time again. At this stage, Lan Yu is still in the exploratory stage, and random command from the rear will easily disrupt his rhythm.
The forces under Song Xuan were developing in an orderly manner, but the Emei Sect and others who had made great contributions were still missing, which gave Song Xuan some bad premonitions.
Until the weather got colder and colder, and when the first heavy snowfall of this winter fell, Song Xuan finally saw everyone in Emei.
All dressed in linen, mourning and plain clothes, Zhou Zhiruo and several senior sisters carried the coffin and stopped outside the Marshal's residence.
"Master Tai She"
Song Xuan pointed at the coffin, hesitating a little. How could someone so awesome like Jiu die like this?
I haven't heard of any powerful masters in Jiangxi. With her exterminating skills and the Yitian Sword in hand, if she wants to leave, who can stop her?
"Brother!"
Zhou Zhiruo had a long sword hanging on her waist and was dressed in white mourning clothes, but she rarely wore a veil on her face, as if she didn't want people to see her face.
Song Xuan took one step forward, and without waiting for anyone's reaction, he appeared directly in front of her and lifted the veil with his skill.
Then, a thumb-long wound clearly appeared on her gentle and beautiful face. The flesh-red wound looked a bit ferocious.
Zhou Zhiruo screamed, quickly covered her face with her hands, and looked at him pleadingly, "Don't look, senior brother, please, don't look!"
Song Xuan turned to look at Li Shanchang and ordered: "I am here to take charge of the arrangements!"
With that said, he took Zhou Zhiruo's arm and said, "Come with me for a walk!"
If it were Zhou Zhiruo in the past, she would naturally be overjoyed, but at this moment, her master died first, and there are scars on her face. It is the time when she is helpless and inferior.
When Song Xuan pulled her arm, she shrank back in fear.
Seeing that the other party was not cooperating, Song Xuan was not polite. He directly pulled her over and put Zhou Meizi on his shoulders. Then, as she screamed in exclamation, he performed Qinggong and disappeared quickly.
In the sight of everyone.
Li Shanchang looked stunned. After a while, he came back to his senses and coughed dryly.
"Well, you all are heroes. It's too cold, so don't stand outside. If you have anything to say, let's talk inside."
After carrying Zhou Zhiruo all the way out of the city, Ms. Zhou finally calmed down in front of a river, her tone a bit shy.
"Brother, let me down!"
Song Xuan smiled, put it on the ground, and said, "Now, can you tell me the specific situation? How did Master Tai die due to her strength? Did a master attack her secretly?"
Zhou Zhiruo shook her head and said: "There is no sneak attack by masters. We have been lurking in Nanchang for many days, but we have not waited until Xu Shouhui and Chen Youliang relaxed.
As long as the two of them go out, they will be heavily guarded almost all the time, making it extremely difficult to assassinate them.
As a last resort, we could only choose a dark and windy night to sneak into Chen Youliang's mansion and kill Xu Shouhui, Chen Youliang and others who were drinking together!"
"It was very chaotic at the time. In addition to the normal guards, there were also many crossbowmen and axe-hands hidden in Chen Youliang's mansion. Many of us were injured. After killing Xu Shouhui and Chen Youliang, Master protected us out of the city.
, we didn’t get rid of our pursuers until daybreak.
Then we discovered that there were wounds all over Master's body, and several arrow wounds had seriously damaged his vital organs. Master forcibly protected his heart with his inner strength, and after taking us to a safe place, he couldn't hold on anymore."
Song Xuan understood immediately.
Martial arts masters are not afraid of ordinary soldiers, but they are afraid of powerful bows. If organized crossbowmen attack in a large area, even Song Xuan cannot say that he is sure that he will be safe.
"I made a miscalculation. I didn't expect Chen Youliang to be so sinister. There are still a large number of crossbowmen lurking in the mansion."
"Senior brother, it has nothing to do with you!" Zhou Zhiruo shook his head and said, "We were too impatient. If we had been more prudent and found out the specific situation before taking action, the casualties would not have been so great!
On the way back, my senior sisters and I chatted a lot. We all felt that that night, Chen Youliang deployed axemen and crossbowmen to kill Xu Shouhui and seize the position of leader of the Jiangxi rebel army.
It can only be said that we were very unlucky and hit the muzzle of the gun!"
Song Xuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a little helpless.
It can only be said that it was unlucky to exterminate them. They had so many choices to make, but they chose the most difficult day.
It stands to reason that Chen Youliang's plot to murder Xu Shouhui was something that happened after Xu Shouhui became emperor. Who would have thought that this bastard would not follow the routine and actually became a rebel in advance!
"Did Master Tai confess anything before he died?"
Zhou Zhiruo took out a token from her arms and said, "Master passed the position of master to me before he passed away!"
"Before he died, Master asked me to bring you a message."
Song Xuandao: "What did Master Tai say?"
"Master said that she has never owed any favors in her life. She owes you Song Xuan a favor, and she has already paid it back with her life!"
"Gone?"
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Master asked us to take her body back to Mount Emei after her death and bury it together with Uncle Gu Hongzi."
"Senior brother, when I come back this time, I am here to say goodbye to you. If nothing unexpected happens, I will stay in Mount Emei and never go down the mountain again!"
Song Xuan said in a deep voice: "Is this what your master asked for before he died?"
"No!" Zhou Zhiruo shook her head, looking a little sad, and said: "I have become ugly, where else can I go if I don't stay in Mount Emei?"
"I'm such an ugly girl, senior brother, are you still willing to have me?"
