A group of eighteen riders headed straight for the square. Not only did they not stop their horses, but they also increased their speed, causing those who blocked their way to get out of the way in a hurry.
Kuan Yu took the lead and rode into the square. Among the seventeen riders behind him, Long Ying recognized Brother Xiong and Ming Han, but did not see Qiang Chi and Fuzhen. The others just looked at their demeanor and they knew they were equal to Brother Xiong.
Xiangcheng's masters can be said to have gathered all the elites of Dajianglian Turks into one, and they are powerful.
Long Ying first looked at Yang Qingren's reaction and saw that he still had the same cold and calm expression. Then he looked at Gao Qizhan, with a frown on his face and a worried look in his eyes.
Most of the people in the audience, including Long Ying, thought that Kuan Yu would rein in and dismount, but they didn't know that Kuan Yu had no intention of doing so and ran straight towards Long Ying's position, followed closely by the others. The Turks were the last.
Good at riding and shooting, more than ten cavalry were galloping at full speed, the formation remained unchanged, and an overwhelming momentum suddenly appeared. Amidst the roar of hooves, Kuan Yu was the first to pass Long Ying, and smiled at Long Ying who was looking at him on horseback.
After saying hello, he quickly took a spear two feet long from the side of the horse, gave a sharp scolding, and rushed straight towards Yang Qingren, who was more than fifty steps away from Longying.
Screams of horror came and went. Who would have thought that Kuanyu would take action against Yang Qingren? The other seventeen riders spread out to both sides as if they had made an appointment, rushing past Longying like a tide. It looked like they were going to kill Yang Qingren.
Surrounded.
Things happened so fast, and Kuan Yu and other Eighteen Cavalry created a tornado-like momentum and pressure. Even the "Twenty-Eight Sus" masters who were directly under Yang Qingren didn't know whether to protect their master's carriage. Others saw that Gao Qizhan didn't.
Instructions, who dares to lift even a finger?
"Huohuo" sound.
The two-foot-long spear turned into a spiritual creature on Kuanyu's head, creating a phantom of light and shadow in the sky. Kuanyu's man and horse were like gods. The man and the horse were integrated into one body. When he was about thirty steps away from Yang Qingren,
The shadow of the spear converged and turned into a brilliant light. Following the rapid pace of the war horse and the sound of hooves hitting the ground, it shot towards Yang Qingren like a dragon. The timing and angle were so precise and sharp that no one could defeat him.
Seeing Rui's astonishing momentum, Long Yingyi admired him in his heart, and thought to himself that if he put himself in his shoes, he would have no other choice but to block the spear. Therefore, blocking is not a problem, and not blocking is even worse. To run away is to seek death.
Because no one could surpass the extremely fast galloping horse under such circumstances. Yang Qingren finally showed a solemn expression, his clothes were slightly bulging, and he punched out.
No one knows Yang Qingren's situation better than Long Ying. Although his internal injuries are not serious, his true energy has been greatly depleted. Even if he is in the best condition, it is still very difficult to deal with Kuanyu, who is coming with rage and momentum at this moment.
It's hard, let alone the moment after the battle with Long Ying.
"boom!"
Fists and spears touched each other.
Yang Qingren's whole body was shaken, his face turned pale, and he moved sideways.
At this time, the other seventeen riders had already rushed to the target position, forming a large circle to surround Long Ying, Kuan Yu and Yang Qingren, cutting off Yang Qingren's escape route.
The war horses neighed and the men stood up.
Kuan Yu shouted coldly, and the moment before the front hooves of the mount hit the ground, the two-foot-long spear turned into spear shadows all over the sky, and rained down on Yang Qingren without sparing a single hand.
Yang Qingren was still moving sideways, thinking that Kuanyu was restricted by his mount and could not turn as flexibly as him. Who knew that Kuanyu's horsemanship was so exquisite that he could use the counterattack force of his fists to stop the horse's forward charge just right?
He immediately changed the direction of his horse, and the spear followed him like a shadow, giving him no chance to recover.
Long Ying also knew that although Yang Qingren blocked Kuanyu's spear with ingenious techniques and released the opponent's highly concentrated spear power, he was unable to "turn death into life" with all the remaining power of the invading body, so he was very reluctant to block it. , adding injury to injury.
Yang Qingren no longer dared to fight head-on, and unfolded his phantom body technique, swaying in the square-foot area as quickly as a ghost, with his hands forming heavy shadows of palms, dealing with Kuanyu's condescending spear attack, which was as powerful as the Yangtze River.
The blasts of energy rang out intensively, shaking through the square. Compared with the previous confrontation with Long Ying, this battle was even more fiery and thrilling, and bloodshed could occur at any time. No one dared to step down to help, because the scene had already been given to Kuan Yu's One side has complete control, not to mention the fact that Long Ying, whose martial arts skills are not inferior to Yang Qingren's, is holding down the position.
"boom!"
The most intense sound since Kuan Yu moved his spear erupted at the intersection.
Yang Qingren stumbled back five or six steps, staggered again, and barely managed to stand still. The color on his face faded, and then he spat out a large mouthful of blood with a "swish" sound.
Kuan Yu did not pursue him anymore, he put the spear on his shoulder and stared at Yang Qingren with a sharp look in his eyes.
There were hundreds of people in the audience, but they didn't make any sound. There was only the sound of the horses breathing out and tapping their hooves. Yang Qingren showed a bitter smile and said, "My lord, I have misunderstood!"
Long Ying saw that the corners of his lips were stained with blood, but he could still be calm and composed, and couldn't help but admire him. He had learned Kuanyu's Kung Fu, and Yang Qingren could escape death this time, relying on the "Seal of Immortality", which was better than anyone else's. , in such a situation, it is impossible to escape the fate of being pierced through the chest by Kuanyu's spear.
The clothes on Yang Chunren's chest suddenly burst open with a three- to four-inch long tear, and blood oozed out.
Kuan Yu snorted coldly: "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, I'm here to warn you today. If you dare to touch my people again, Kuan Yu will retaliate. Let's go!"
The sand boat leaves the dock.
In the past two days, Long Ying was eager to leave, but when it was time to leave, Long Ying realized how hard it was to leave this place and was filled with sadness.
From the moment he arrived at the fishing village, he felt like he was in a dream. The real and the unreal overlapped. Hua Jian Ning'er's voice and smile seemed to have happened just a moment ago. When the lake breeze swept by, Mrs. Xiang greeted him gracefully. In the coming days, he still clearly remembered every word he said while the carriage was driving to Youshuai's base. Although this charming beauty was full of treacherous tricks, he had no hatred towards her. What remained in his heart was her infinite love. bright side.
The sudden rain in Nancheng, the romantic encounter on the street, and the encounter with Sister Miao, Xiaoyuan and Kuimi are still vivid in his mind. Perhaps after a long, long time, the memory has faded, but he knows that he will never forget the confusing feeling at that time. The feeling of intoxication.
He had unknowingly established a deep relationship with this isolated country and region, and the people and events in it could always touch his heart. From the confusion and melancholy in his heart at this time, he knew how reluctant he was to let go.
The emotions he experienced were complex and indescribable.
He whispered to the beautiful secret girl on the pillow in the middle of the night and made a love agreement. With the ups and downs of his thoughts, he suddenly occupied all his thoughts. He thought of the lingering love with her while boating on the lake. Although he knew that one day she would leave him, he was pregnant with her. She followed their flesh and blood back to the desert, feeling sad but full of expectation and joy. She should have left Middle-earth with her people now, but one day she would come back and fight alongside him.
He also remembered the charming people who lived in private houses, and did not look down upon them because they took the job of welcoming and seeing off people. The past ten or so days were as thrilling as a small boat bobbing in the wild waves. While dealing with the challenges that came one after another, he also
On the other hand, he enjoyed the warm and touching experience. The pain and contradiction, joy and intoxication in it formed an emotion that made it difficult for him to extricate himself.
Long Ying realized that no matter what the future holds, he will never be able to return to that indulgent and indulgent life, and may never set foot on this land again. He only knows that the past ten days or so will become a dream in his memory.
A haunting world.
Kuanyu's voice rang in his ears, bringing him back to reality, saying: "I received the news that Bai Qingren had someone set up a trap against you, so I immediately dropped everything and rushed back. That's too much!
Long Ying stood on the stern of the boat, looking at the two cities in the south and north, turning into two small dots on the plain. He cheered up and said, "The boat is very uncomfortable."
After leaving Zuorei, Kuan Yu took him to the boat moored at the pier and personally sent him back to the outside world.
Kuanyu said with emotion: "We are the ones who are grateful. The arrival of the light boat forced Little Khan and others to show their fox tails. Although there will be no change on the surface, both parties understand what is going on."
Then he sighed: "Don't be deceived by Bai Qingren's elegant and elegant appearance. In fact, this person is narrow-minded and very vindictive. He dare not deal with me, but he will use you to vent his anger."
Longying snorted coldly: "I'm not afraid of him at all."
Kuan Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Of course you are not afraid of the bright sword and the bright spear, but this man is the best at conspiracy and conspiracy. Whoever fell into his hands was not a once-all-powerful figure? His most famous battle was the assassination of Hei Te Chang.
After all, when I think about it, I realize that my worries are justified."
Long Ying was filled with hatred, and at the same time his heart moved, and he said: "I have to think of some ways to deal with it."
Kuan Yu said: "He is hiding and you are hiding. It is impossible to guard against him. No method will work. Alas! I am most afraid of him spreading rumors."
Long Ying said in astonishment: "Spreading rumors? What do I have to say to him? My "life-threatening man" Fan Qingzhou has never been a good person. What else can he accuse me of? I'm not afraid of people talking about me."
Kuan Yu frowned deeply and said, "In the past, as you said, I was not afraid of rumors at all, but things are different now. If your reputation is damaged, it will greatly affect Pegasus Ranch's impression of you."
Long Ying was stunned and said: "Should I still go to the Pegasus Festival?"
Kuan Yu carefully examined his expression and reaction, and said: "This is the reason why Mrs. Xiang and others planned to deal with you. Bai Qingren wanted to kill you for the same reason. I never mentioned your competition for Shang Yueling's heart.
I take it to heart because I think you have no chance of success, but Little Khan and the others definitely don’t think so. Instead, they think you have a better chance than the other two, so they do everything possible to thwart you.”
Long Ying said: "What should I do?"
Kuan Yu put her hand on his shoulder and said: "Pegasus Ranch fell into their hands or fell into our hands, which are two completely different things. Qingzhou should understand the situation clearly. Alas! Although I don't want to say it
Come out, but I have to say. At present, the people of our clan are at a disadvantage in the Dajiang Alliance. The only hope is for you to win the control of Pegasus Ranch. At that time, the initiative will return to our hands.
As long as the Great Khan can invade China as planned, this world will no longer be the world of the Little Khan, nor the world of the Han people."
Long Ying took the opportunity and asked: "Can the Great Khan really break through the Han border defenses and penetrate deep into China?"
Kuan Yu loosened her arm around his shoulders, her ancient and broad face showed a gloomy look, and said in a deep voice: "I used to be very confident, but now I am no longer so sure. When the Tang Dynasty was founded, we had many conflicts.
A good opportunity, but after the emergence of the 'Young Marshal' Kou Zhong, first there was a disastrous defeat at Benlangyuan, and even when the troops came to the city of Chang'an, they were forced to withdraw. Now there is the emergence of Long Ying, who not only has unparalleled martial arts skills,
From being invincible to being full of tricks and tactics, no one has yet been able to figure out his base. We also suffered a defeat against him outside the wall, and in his territory, the situation is even more unimaginable. We are a powerful force.
Tiger, my biggest wish is that the tribesmen in Zhongshang can return to the prairie safely. Therefore, whether Qingzhou can gain control of the pasture has become our last hope."
Long Ying felt ashamed, and Kuan Yu naturally compared Kou Zhong with him, but he knew very well that the reason why he seemed to be able to use soldiers like a god was mostly due to the magical induction of demon species, while the young commander Zhan Wu
Invincible ability relies on "real skill".
Said: "Mrs. Xiang said that the chances of success for the other two people participating in the Pegasus Festival are also very slim. Although I am on the Kuan Gong side, the ranch is in our hands, which is better than the ranch not being controlled.
,Why do they want to stop me from attending the Pegasus Festival?"
Kuan Yu sneered: "Is that woman's words easy to believe? It's top secret. I shouldn't have said it, but why should I worry about it now? One of them is a young man who has risen in the world in recent years. He is nominally from a southern country.
The famous family sect is so on the surface, but in fact he is Bai Qingren's younger brother. He is also evil in nature like Bai Qingren. His name is Li Zhongxian. He is known as the "Poetry and Sword Master". He is quite famous for his chivalry, playing chess, calligraphy and painting.
He is not very good, but he looks very talented, so the young Khan and others have great hopes for him."
Long Ying secretly scolded himself for being stupid, knowing that it was his weakness to easily trust women with beautiful legs. Kuan Yu suddenly changed the subject and said, "Did the little Khan ask you for money?"
Long Ying replied casually: "Twenty thousand taels of gold."
The ship's hull shuddered.
It turned out that it had left the river and entered Dongting Lake. Reefs were scattered all around, and more than a dozen boat operators mobilized. Several of them picked up long poles and propped them up to the rocks to keep the sand boat stable and allow it to travel along a specific route.
This reef area is vast, the lake is stimulated by strong winds and waves, and there are rapid whirlpools and undercurrents everywhere. If the government navy comes to attack, all the large warships can look at the rocks and sigh, and at most they can send some small boats to test the navigable channel.
Kuan Yu frowned and said: "Twenty thousand taels is not a small amount. Although your business is getting bigger and bigger, how can you get so much money in one time?"
Long Ying thought to himself that I had no idea how much money I had, so of course I couldn't answer him like that. He asked instead, "Maybe I need to sell some of my belongings, but should I raise the money?"
Kuan Yu said calmly: "Little Khan's finances are not as tight as he said. On the one hand, he is testing you, and on the other hand, it weakens your financial resources and indirectly attacks us. You don't need to pay attention to this matter anymore. In my opinion, he
I don’t even dare to mention it again.”
Long Ying secretly thought that this is called politics, and he was really not good at it as the fat father-in-law pointed out. Fortunately, although he was very young at this aspect, he was full of ingenious schemes in other aspects. He said: "Since Pegasus Ranch is our only
I will take this as my goal to make plans to survive, and I will definitely live up to the high expectations placed on me by Mr. Kuan and all my brothers."
Kuanyu stared at him for a moment and said, "Qingzhou has a plan in mind, right?"
Long Ying nodded in agreement.
Kuan Yu felt this and said: "Qingzhou, a tribesman born in the middle-earth, should not have much affection for our tribe, but just looking at the interaction between Qingzhou and Qiangchi, we know that Qingzhou has not forgotten the feelings in his body.
The person who shed blood is a person who is sentimental and righteous, which is very rare."
Long Ying almost blushed, but after thinking about it carefully, he did not take racial boundaries to heart. The emphasis was on personal character. Good people and bad people would never be classified based on race.
Kuan Yu said: "As long as the method you come up with is feasible, I will fully support it." Long Ying respectfully replied: "That is to make Fan Qingzhou disappear until the Pegasus Festival."
Kuan Yu was shocked and said: "Disappeared?"
Long Ying thought that "Fan Qingzhou" had to disappear, because when Dajiang Lian wanted to find him, the person he saw was Liu Nanguang, who wanted to destroy everything. This is also called "today is different from the past". The only thing
The solution is to make "Fan Qingzhou" no longer exist, making it invisible and impossible to find.
Long Ying explained: "In terms of tactics, this is called 'breaking the whole into parts'. After returning to the outside, I moved from the front line of business to the rear. On the surface, I no longer wanted to be a profiteer, so I sold all my assets to a gang.
The brothers in the business were actually in charge of the business secretly. Not only did Bai Qingren lose the target of assassination, but also the efforts to spread rumors were in vain, and the little Khan was unable to find me."
Kuan Yu nodded and said: "This is one way. But if Bai Qingren spreads rumors that you are a member of our alliance and hides because he is afraid that the matter will be exposed, how will you deal with it?"
Long Ying laughed hoarsely and said: "This is the worst rumor. Even if you listen to it, you won't believe it. His grandma, to put it bluntly, I, Fan Qingzhou, started my career because of destroying the good things of Dajiang Alliance. I will kill him with all my teeth."
The flower-picking robbers forced Chi to go upstairs and flee all night. The facts are all there, how can mere rumors influence it?"
Kuan Yu said with emotion: "Well said! If Qingzhou's love words to my mother are as eloquent as you are now, it will be difficult for Shang Yue Ling to escape from your fingers. No wonder Mrs. Xiang and others are so worried about you."
The ship's speed increased sharply and it turned out that it had left the reef area.
The autumn breeze brought coolness, and the sand boat's single-masted sail was fully swollen in the wind, and it sailed towards the north.
Long Ying took two deep breaths of the autumn wind. As the fresh air entered his heart and lungs, he felt refreshed. The boundless sparkling lake light came into view, which made him feel relaxed and happy.
Solving the deadlock of "Fan Qingzhou" is like letting go of a huge stone that weighs heavily on his heart. If he only wants to annihilate the Dajiang Alliance, having "Fan Qingzhou" is not a problem, but if he wants to fulfill the wishes of Sister Miao and others, this identity will
It is his only connection with Dajiang United, and it is crucial.
Even if we ask Xi Yao to predict the future development, we may still not be able to figure out its intricacies, but at least keeping "Fan Qingzhou" is the first step.
Long Ying said: "We must keep in touch and take care of each other if something happens." After Kuan Yu gave his name and contact method, he said: "Before the Pegasus Festival, there shouldn't be any big changes.
, the situation is still stalemate, so even if Bai Qingren really kills you, or Bai Qingren was killed by me just now, everyone will just treat it as if nothing happened."
He added: "That kid is so tough. I had full confidence in killing him, but I didn't know I would let him escape and save his life."
Long Ying felt the same and said: "This kid may be more powerful than the little Khan."
Kuan Yu said: "Qingzhou, you are wrong. Little Khan is the only person who can make Bai Qingren humble."
Long Ying was surprised: "Have they fought before?"
Kuan Yu shook his head to express that he didn't know, put his hand on his shoulder and said: "If you have nothing to do, don't contact me. As long as I receive the news of your going to the Pegasus Festival, I will know that everything will go according to plan, and I will try to contact you by then."
You establish contact. I, Kuan Yu, would like to wish Qingzhou a success. I really don’t want to increase Qingzhou’s burden, but Qingzhou has indeed become our only hope. Your success or failure will directly affect nearly 40,000 people of this tribe.
Life and death, prosperity and decline." Long Ying asked in confusion: "Did Duke Kuan inform the Great Khan of the current situation?"
Kuanyu sighed: "So what if the Great Khan knows? He is riding a tiger, and we are sitting on the tiger's back. The only thing we can do is to think about how to dodge and deal with the tiger's mouth when it comes to bite us, or how to order
The evil tiger dare not turn around and take a bite."
Long Ying sighed with him in his heart, Kuanyu's problem became his problem, but the situation he faced was more difficult and complicated, and he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
