Chapter six hundred and thirty eight old acquaintances
Liu Xiu, Xu Xiling and others walked towards the camp where Yin Lihua was located. When they were approaching the camp, a group of patrols happened to walk towards them.
Just as the two sides were about to cross each other, the patrol suddenly stopped, looked back at Liu Xiu and others, and asked, "Why are you in our camp?"
Liu Xiu and others were all wearing Dong Xinjun's military uniforms, which were different from Deng Fengjun's military uniforms, at least the colors were different. Liu Xiu was the first to stop and squinted his eyes.
He could explain to the other party and get away with it, but that would take time, and what he lacked most now was time.
The captain of the patrol came over, glanced at them, his eyes fell on Xu Xiling, and asked in a solemn voice: "Why are there women among you?"
Although Xu Xiling was wrapped in a large cloak and her head was covered, it could still be seen that she was a woman.
Liu Xiu turned around and said, "We were ordered by the general to take her back to the camp!"
It is not surprising that there are Dong Xin's soldiers in our camp. The two sides are allies after all. It is normal for the soldiers on both sides to move around each other, but it is not normal for there to be women among them.
After hearing Liu Xiu's words, the patrol captain walked up to him, looked him up and down, and asked, "By order of the general?"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Xu Xiling in the crowd and said, "Put down the hijab and let me take a look!"
Xu Xiling did not move. When he saw this, the patrol captain raised his eyebrows and was about to continue speaking. Without any warning, Liu Xiu whipped out his sword, pointed it at the patrol captain's lower abdomen, and stabbed him with the sword.
Poof! The sword edge penetrated the opponent's lower abdomen and poked out from behind. As Liu Xiu took action, Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Bo immediately drew their swords and rushed towards the nearby patrol.
The three of them were like tigers descending the mountain. When they approached a group of patrol soldiers, cold light flashed and blood spurted out. All nine soldiers, without exception, fell into a pool of blood in the blink of an eye.
The place where they started was not far from Yin Lihua's camp. Outside Yin Lihua's camp, there were more than a dozen Deng Zhong's guards standing outside.
The guards could see clearly, their expressions suddenly changed, seven or eight of them separated, ran over quickly, and shouted at the same time: "Who is it? How dare you hurt people in the camp?"
Without another word, Liu Xiu pulled out the Red Sky Sword from the body of the patrol captain, held the sword, and faced him. Seeing that he came with bad intentions, the guards reacted quickly, and they all raised their spears and pointed them pointedly. Liu Xiu.
When the two sides came into contact, Liu Xiu raised his sword from bottom to top, and heard three consecutive crisp clicks, and the three thrusting spears were cut off at the same time.
The faces of the three guards on the opposite side suddenly changed. Liu Xiu did not give them a chance to react, and then swept forward with another sword.
The two guards were unable to dodge, and their throats were torn open by the sharp edge of the Red Sky Sword. The guard among them reacted slightly faster and leaned back with all his strength.
The Chixiao Sword did not cut open his neck, but cut a long bloody gash on his cheek.
The guard screamed and staggered back with his hands on his face.
Seeing three companions, two dead and one injured, the rest of the guards were all shocked and angry. They roared and rushed towards Liu Xiu. Ding Xun, Cai Lin and Cui Yong met him with swords and fought until they were there. .
Ding Xun, Cai Lin, and Cui Yong were all highly skilled in martial arts. Facing the guards who rushed towards them, the three of them were like chopping up melons and vegetables, instantly killing them all to the ground.
Liu Xiu ignored the others, and headed straight for the tent in front of him like an arrow from his string.
Several guards in front of the camp were secretly surprised, but no one was afraid to retreat. The captain of the guard drew out his sword and stabbed the oncoming Liu Xiu. Almost at the same time, Liu Xiu's sword struck
He also stabbed at him.
The two swords drew two flashes of lightning, one silver and one red, in the air. At the moment when they passed each other, the blades of the swords rubbed against each other, creating a series of sparks.
At this time, the captain of the guard felt a strong elasticity coming from the opponent's sword. He couldn't control it, and the sword he stabbed suddenly bounced sideways. He secretly screamed, and tried to take the sword back, but it was already too late.
Already.
In a duel between masters, any flaw revealed will be fatal. Liu Xiu has gone through two rounds of cutting and purging, and with his current skills, he has become an outstanding swordsman.
A popping sound was heard in the helix of the ear, and the Chixiao Sword pierced the opponent's throat, and the sword edge came out at the back of his neck. As Liu Xiu drew the sword, the captain of the guard covered his neck, took two steps back, and fell straight on his back.
.
The rest of the guards screamed in surprise. At this time, Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Long Bo, Ding Xun, Cai Lin, and Cui Yong all rushed over and started a close fight with the guards. Liu Xiu swayed and passed through the gap in the crowd.
, enter the camp.
The moment he came in, a cold light struck him. Without thinking, Liu Xiu swung the sword in his hand outwards. With a clang, sparks suddenly appeared, and the sword that had been slashed was broken.
The guard who attacked Liu Xiu involuntarily took two steps back, looked at the half-sword in his hand, and rushed towards Yin Lihua behind him. He grabbed Yin Lihua's arm with one hand, and held the half-severed sword in the other, forcing Yin Lihua's throat.
, screamed: "Don't come here! If you come here again, I will kill her..."
Liu Xiu didn't go over, he just waved his arm outward, and there was a soft popping sound from the cuff, and the crossbow arrow flew out, hitting the guard between the eyebrows. With one sharp arrow, the guard was killed directly.
The guard's eyes were wide open, he still held half of his sword tightly in his hand, and he fell on his back.
Yin Lihua was still in extreme shock. Liu Xiu walked up to her, grabbed her arm, and said, "Follow me quickly!" As he spoke, he pulled Yin Lihua and walked quickly outside the camp.
Because of the disguise, Yin Lihua did not recognize Liu Xiu, but like Xu Xiling, she recognized Liu Xiu's voice. She opened her mouth wide in surprise and subconsciously asked: "Ah...Axiu?"
A smile appeared on Liu Xiu's stern face. He turned back and said softly to Yin Lihua: "I'll take you home!"
His words made Yin Lihua feel mixed feelings. She held Liu Xiu's hand and said, "Axiu, I can't leave. I still want to see Yuan Zhi and ask him to give up..."
Before she could finish her words, Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "It's useless. Since Deng Feng has embarked on the path of rebellion, he will never go back!"
"Can't Axiu give Yuan Zhi another chance?" Yin Lihua held Liu Xiu's hand tightly and asked tremblingly.
Liu Xiu looked at her for a while and asked, "Lihua, do you know what Deng Zhong wants to do to Xi Ling?"
Yin Lihua shook her head. Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "Deng Zhong wanted to insult Xi Ling. If we hadn't arrived in time, Xi Ling would have been in trouble. Lihua, now do you still think that Deng Feng and Deng Zhong will turn around?"
?"
After hearing this, Yin Lihua's expression suddenly changed. She never thought that Deng Zhong would actually do such a thing to Xu Xiling. She asked urgently: "Then now Xiling..."
"She's fine!" Liu Xiu said seriously: "Lihua, you have tried your best, but you are just doing useless work. If you continue to be stubborn, it will not only not help the matter, but will cause those who care about you and help you to fall into trouble."
An irreversible danger!"
Liu Xiu didn't want to blame Yin Lihua, but in this case, she did go too far and went her own way without considering the consequences at all.
Yin Lihua blushed, lowered her head, and said nothing more. Fortunately, Xu Xiling was fine. If she was really insulted by Deng Zhong, then she would never be able to repay what she owed Xu Xiling in her lifetime.
Liu Xiu didn't waste any more time, pulled Xu Xiling and hurried out of the camp. At this time, the outside was already in chaos, with soldiers swarming from all directions.
Looking around the scene, Liu Xiu shouted: "Don't be obsessed with fighting! Leave quickly!"
The Han army in Wancheng attacked the camp of Deng Zhong's army. Although the main force of Deng Zhong's army followed Deng Zhong to the north camp to attack the Han army, there were still thousands of soldiers left in the camp.
Hearing that there was a spy sneaking into the camp, the soldiers came over one after another and gathered in larger and larger numbers.
Liu Xiu handed Yin Lihua and Xu Xiling to Ji Yuanxiang and asked her to protect them. He held the Chixiao Sword in front of him and slashed at the swarming enemy troops. Liu Xiu stabbed and stabbed, killing dozens of enemies in one breath.
But then more enemy soldiers rushed up. Liu Xiu waved his hand to the side, grabbed an enemy soldier who was charging from the side, and pulled him in front of him. Hearing a series of muffled sounds of puff, puff, puff, and stabbed him head on.
The five or six spears that came were pierced into the soldier's body.
He shouted loudly, pushed the soldier's body, rushed forward a few meters, and knocked a large group of enemy soldiers in front to the ground. He just took a breath, and as the horses neighed, an enemy general rode a tall horse,
Break out from the crowd.
This general held a long sword and rushed towards Liu Xiu. The long sword drew a long silver line in the air, and the sharp edge went straight to Liu Xiu's neck. Liu Xiu took a deep breath and blocked the opponent's sharp edge with his sword.
Bang! This loud noise shocked the eardrums of everyone around him. Liu Xiu raised his eyes and saw that this enemy general he recognized was none other than Ren Guan, who had been mentioned to him by the soldiers guarding the camp gate.
Ren Guan was originally a subordinate of Liu Jia, and Liu Jia had a very good relationship with Liu Yan and Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu was naturally no stranger to Ren Guan. His eyes flashed and he said in a serious voice: "Ren Guan!
"
The general was startled when he heard the other party calling out his name. He looked at Liu Xiu in surprise and asked coldly: "Do you know me?"
In his impression, he had never seen this person before, and the other person was able to take his heavy sword forcefully, so he was very strong.
Liu Xiu pursed his lips, shook the Chixiao Sword in his hand, and asked: "Ren Guan, you don't know me, don't you still know this sword?"
Ren Guan really didn't pay attention just now, but now after listening to Liu Xiu's words, his eyes subconsciously fell on Liu Xiu's Scarlet Sky Sword. Liu Xiu's Scarlet Sky Sword didn't turn red because it was stained with blood, but the sword
The itself is turning red.
Seeing Liu Xiu's sword clearly, Ren Guan couldn't help but be shocked. His eyes widened in disbelief. He looked at Liu Xiu again and asked: "You...are you..."
Liu Xiu said: "For the sake of our former comrades, I don't want to take your head. If you insist on stopping me, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!"
Ren Guan shuddered subconsciously. Yes, the person in front of him was Liu Xiu! Although his appearance had changed, the thing he held in his hand was indeed the Scarlet Xiao Sword, and his voice was indeed that of Liu Xiu.
Showy.
Unexpectedly, the person who secretly sneaked into our camp this time would be Liu Xiu! Ren Guan and Liu Xiu did not have a very deep personal relationship, but they had met many times because of Liu Jia's relationship.
After the Red Eyebrow Army marched westward and captured Chang'an, Ren Guan was separated from Liu Jia. He ran back to his hometown in Nanyang and inquired about Liu Jia's whereabouts. However, Liu Jia was not found. Instead, two brothers, Deng Feng and Deng Zhong, took the initiative to find Liu Jia.
Come to your door and invite him to start a fight with you.
Ren Guan originally did not want to join their team, but Deng Feng invited him again and again. Due to human feelings, Ren Guan finally accepted Deng Feng's invitation and served as a partial general under Deng Feng's command.
Ren Guan was also very dissatisfied with Wu Han's evil deeds after entering Nanyang, but his attitude towards fighting the Han army had always been very negative. To put it bluntly, he was unwilling to be Liu Xiu's enemy from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't have a good impression of Wu Han, but he had an excellent impression of Liu Xiu.
Moreover, since the two brothers Deng Feng and Deng Zhong rebelled, they have been short of money and food. For the sake of money and food, the two brothers have been struggling and forming alliances everywhere. People like Qin Feng, Yan Cen, and Dong Xin have all become bandits.
Ren Guan became an ally of the two brothers, which made Ren Guan deeply disappointed, and he became more and more negative about the Han army's war.
