Volume 5 Chapter 9 Handshake and Peace(1/2)

At dusk, heavy snow began to fall from the sky again. Kou Zhong and other six people drove for more than forty miles, fearing that Su Su could not withstand the cold wind, they happened to come across a manor that had been abandoned due to the war. Everyone then occupied one of the broken houses, lit firewood, and sat around to keep warm.

Liu Heitai took out the remaining food and water, and first served Su Su attentively, who was sitting between Kou and Xu. He looked quite intoxicated, but Su Su seemed not to feel anything.

Kou Zhong recalled hearing the clatter of hooves that night and asked, "Did Brother Liu keep following us last night?"

Liu Heitao said: "It can be said that the people under Li Mi are unscrupulous in doing things, and no one is willing to follow the rules of the world.

So we had expected that they would not let the three of them go."

Xu Ziling stared at the flickering firewood and heard the words: "Who are those people chasing after them on horseback? It doesn't look like they are Wagang troops!" Cui Dongqian: "We can't figure it out either. Cheng is so fast, he can still walk such a long distance in one breath even if he carries Miss Susu on his back."

Kou Zhong said with a smile: "In order to escape for your life, naturally run as fast as you can."

Zhuge Dewei said: "We will arrive at Yangwu tomorrow. Where are you three going?"

Su Su said softly: "We want to go back to Yangzhou first and then make plans."

Liu Heita frowned and said, "Yang Guang and Yu Wenhua are in Jiangdu. If you reveal your hiding place, I'm afraid a big disaster will happen."

Xu Ziling said calmly: "We will be careful."

Liu Heitai saw his determined look and had no choice but to keep silent.

Kou Zhong changed the subject and said: "Your army occupies Leshou and is located in the north. I wonder what new situation has happened recently?"

Zhuge Dewei said: "The three most sensational events in recent times are the revival of Tuyuhun, Li Clan's rebellion against the Sui Dynasty by taking Taiyuan, and Li Mi's envoy Zu Junyan, who has spread the ten most serious crimes against Yang Guang in the world."

Kou Zhong said happily: "Li Yuan is willing to rebel after all!" He looked proud.

Cui Dong said disdainfully: "Who is Li Yuan? He was so shameless that he professed his vassalship to the Turkic Shibi Khan and promised to give his children's jade and silk fabrics from the conquest to the Turks. This is a shame."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other in shock and were speechless.

Zhuge Wude said: "According to the information we have received, Li Yuan established himself as a general, with Pei Ji as the commander-in-chief, Liu Wenjing as the commander-in-chief, his eldest son Jian Jian, and his second son Shimin as the commander-in-chief and deputy commander of the three armies, preparing to march into Guanzhong."

Liu Heitai said: "Li Clan's plan was wishful thinking, but he didn't know that it played into Liu Wuzhou's plan. As long as Taiyuan is empty, it would be strange for Liu Wuzhou not to take the opportunity to capture Taiyuan. Also on the way to Guanzhong, there are Sui Dynasty fierce generals Song Laosheng and Qu Tutong and Tutong respectively led their armies to guard the gate, and no one dares to be optimistic about the future situation of the Li family."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were very disappointed. It turned out that the real situation was so discouraging.

Su Su asked in confusion: "Don't the Li family members know that surrendering to the Turks would lead to a wolf entering the house?"

Liu Heitai smiled and said: "They are all wolves themselves, so what's the problem of attracting werewolves? Li Yuan's wife is a Hu girl from the Xianbei tribe. Although she is not as good as the Yuwen clan herself, but she is not much better. And Li Yuan's wife is a Hu girl from the Xianbei tribe. The clan has been deeply influenced by Hu customs, and is actually no different from the Hu people."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling remembered that Li Xiuning wore Hufu to receive guests, and they had nothing to say.

It took quite a while before Kou Zhong asked about Tuyuhun's revival.

Liu Heitaishi: "Tuyuhun is an iron-clad enemy, and its king Fuyun has always been very ambitious. He sends experts to the Central Plains from time to time to find out information. Yang Guang once sent two generals, Wang Yangxiong and Yuwenshu, to hunt down Fuyun, killing more than a thousand people and taking countless prisoners. , Fu Yun relied on his martial arts skills to lead his remnant troops to break out of the siege and fled to Dangxiang. In the past two years, he took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to reorganize his army, regain the lost territory, regularize his plans, and become the Turkic and Tiele tribes. The greatest disaster to the soil."

Zhuge Dewei said: "The most worrying thing is that Fu Yun's son Fu Qian is an unparalleled talent. Not only has his martial arts reached a state of perfection, he is also an excellent strategist and his ambition is no less than that of his father."

Cui Dong smiled and said, "I heard that this man had a beard on his face when he was born, so he has been showing off his beard since he was a child. Only a wild dog can think of such a ridiculous thing."

Su Su smiled coquettishly and murmured: "A baby with beards looks ridiculous."

Seeing her delicate look and innocent tone, Liu Heitai couldn't help but stare at her again.

Zhuge Dewei got excited about the conversation and said with a smile: "Do you want to hear Li Mi count Yang Guang's top ten crimes?"

Kou Zhong happily said: "Please tell me quickly!" Zhuge Dewei said in one breath: "The first is to kill the father; the second is to commit suicide; the third is to indulge in wine and sex; the fourth is to build palaces and towers, extravagance and waste; the fifth is to impose exorbitant taxes and squeeze the people; the sixth is to Touring the world and building the Great Wall; seven times conquering Goryeo and resorting to military violence; eight times refusing to give direct advice and killing straight people; nine bribery becoming common, the gentleman is in the opposition and the villain is in power; ten words are dishonored. Ha!" Xu Ziling shook his head and sighed: "How can it be so? There are countless crimes committed by this foolish king. When it comes to the extent of the harm to the country, this guy is unprecedented."

Kou Zhongdao: "If we just close our doors and fight, we will be able to unify sooner or later. The last thing we do is attract the invasion of foreign tribes, which will cause the country to fall apart and the lives of all people to be in ruins. Yang Guang is the biggest sinner."

Liu Heitai clapped his legs and said, "That's right. In today's world, except for Duke Jiande, who doesn't collude with foreigners and support each other? Since both of you have the ambition to help the world, what other choice do you have besides joining our army?" "

Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Liu seems to think highly of my two brothers!" Zhuge Dewei said with a smile: "The world has never been as lively as it is now. It must be destiny, so all the heroes of the younger generation are together." Apart from Heita, the men who have been most popular recently include Yang Xuyan, Ba Fenghan, two brothers, and a man named Hou Xibai who calls himself the "Sentimental Young Master". But in terms of sensation, none more so than you two. "

Su Su happily said: "It turns out that my two younger brothers have become celebrities!" Kou Zhong said with a wry smile: "Our most powerful skill is to escape for our lives, but we never expected that we would become famous and successful because of this."

Liu Heitai laughed dumbly and said: "Brother Kou is too modest. He has no real materials, so he is not qualified to escape. And the two of them were not only able to snatch the account books from Yuwen Chengdu, but they also fought with arrogance. The invincible Yuwen who soared to the sky ran away, how can he be a person who has gained a reputation in vain?"

Xu Ziling asked: "I just heard Mr. Zhuge quote, men can be considered these people! But who are women?"

Just as Liu Heitai was about to speak, Kou Zhongse changed his words: "Someone is coming!" When everyone put out the firewood with hands and feet, Cui Dong, who had just gone out to spy, returned to the house and said in a deep voice: "It's too late! The enemy is here." We have been surrounded."

Zhuge Wude said: "How many people are there and who are they?"

Cui Dong whispered: "There should be about ten people. We can't see clearly in the dark."

At this time, a feminine and feminine voice sounded outside and said: "I, Tuoba Yu, have been ordered by my master Bi Xuan to come here to say hello to Mr. Kou and Mr. Xu."

Everyone's expression changed at the same time. Unexpectedly, the person who came was actually a Turkic master, and Bi Xuan's disciple was presiding among them.

Liu Heitai whispered: "He doesn't seem to know that we are here. Who has ever heard of this man?"

Zhuge Wude and Cui Dong both shook their heads in confusion.

In order to delay time so that Xu Ziling could tie Su Su back to his back, Kou Zhong responded loudly: "My two brothers are still alive and well, brother Tuo! No! It should be brother Tuoba. Thank you for your concern. You still put us in trouble at this night." What's the point of standing around, lest we escape?"

Cui Dong saw that Kou Zhong had no weapons, so he gave a pair of weapons and stuffed them into his hand.

Liu Heitai himself used a cane, but he also hid a sharp dagger as long as a foot and a half in his coat and handed it to Xu Ziling.

Tuoba Yu laughed and said: "There is a saying in your country that no matter what happens, you will not go to the Three Treasures Palace. I have traveled thousands of miles today on the orders of my master. I want to borrow the Taoist treasure "The Secret of Immortality" from you two. The journey has been hard. You two brothers, I hope you won’t disappoint me!"

After a pause, he smiled and said, "I don't know who the other three gentlemen are, so I can let you know them all."

Everyone was shocked. Just from the sound of this man's ears, they knew that he was a first-rate master.

Liu Heitai responded: "I'm just a nobody, how can I be worthy of being in Brother Tuoba's ears?"

Tuobayu laughed three times.

The first sound was still far away outside the house, the second sound was already outside the door, and when the third sound rang, Tuobayu stepped through the door, as leisurely as if he was visiting a friend, holding a lantern in his left hand.

This man is in his mid-twenties. He has a heroic bun on his head, a military uniform, and a leather vest. He has a handsome appearance, and a pair of flying pants hanging on his shoulders. He looks a bit like a young man. At first glance, he looks like a young man. It seems that he is weak and unable to control the wind.

Everyone's eyes fell on the flying ao hanging on his shoulder. This kind of strange weapon is rarely used in the world. The two aos are shaped like eagle claws, and are tied with a ten-foot-long thin rope in the middle. It is obvious at a glance that it is extremely difficult to use. Control.

When Tuoba Yu glanced at everyone, Kou Zhong and others all had a strange feeling, as if there was some kind of invisible but qualitative power in the other person's eyes.

Liu Heitai took a step forward and laughed and said, "Let me get close to Brother Tuoba first."

With his right hand drawn back, the iron crutch rose up from his back. Immediately, cold light shot out, and the coldness invaded people. He stabbed Tuoba Yu in the chest with a fierce and powerful aura, giving him the air of a general.

Kou Zhong and others were greatly delighted when they thought that Liu Heita would immediately take action upon seeing the other party.

Susu exclaimed in fright and closed her beautiful eyes.

Tuoba Yu laughed, moved his lightning sideways, and cut out his right palm at the same time.

With a sound of "Huo!", the edge of Tuoba Yu's palm was cut at the corner. Liu Heitai's earth-shattering move immediately lost all its power. He seemed to have suffered a hidden loss. He changed his moves like lightning and stepped back.

Tuoba Yujun's face turned cold and he sneered: "We are not really close yet!" As he spoke, he suddenly reached the blind spot on Liu Heitai's left. I don't know what trick he used, and he flew into the air on his shoulder. The eagle claw on one end flew out from the shoulder, making a powerful sound of breaking through the air. It circled like lightning and grabbed Liu Heita's lower body with an extremely vicious technique.

In these two fights, both sides were as fast as lightning, which was dizzying to watch.

Liu Heitai was also very good at not panicking in the face of danger. Knowing that the opponent would not give him a chance to adjust his breath, he turned around and came to the door, then swung his cane and hit Fei Lao, who was pursuing him like a shadow.

"Dang!" sounded loudly, and Liu Heitai grunted, and was forced to take half a step back, hitting the broken wall next to the door.

Tuobayu snorted disdainfully, moved his right hand to the center of Feilao's rope, shook it slightly, and the eagle claws at both ends immediately turned into hundreds of light and shadows, and the mercury poured down towards Liu Heitai who was leaning against the wall. He threw his left hand at the same time He raised the lantern and landed on Liang Heng without missing a beat.

Both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were stunned.

Liu Heitai's abduction technique is already a superb one, and it reaches the first-class level regardless of the power and fire of the law. The most rare thing is that he has a kind of heroic courage and courage, regardless of life and death, which makes him have the power to sweep thousands of armies once he abducts.

This disciple of Bixuan was able to break through the attack and put him at a disadvantage with just a few tricks. It was really shocking. Judging from this, it can be seen that Bixuan can achieve a great reputation and become one of the three top masters inside and outside the region.

Lie, in fact, there are no empty scholars under the great reputation.

Liu Heitao shouted loudly, used his crutch to hold up a ball of light, and protected his upper and lower vitals. He moved sideways against the wall and followed the crutch, waiting to launch an offensive.

Suddenly, the light of the iron crutch disappeared, and it turned out that the iron crutch was caught by the eagle claw on one end of Tuoba Yu, with the five fingers spread out. The other eagle claw was caught by Liu Heitai.

No one expected that the opponent's eagle claws could still move freely, which was extremely weird. When Su Su screamed, Zhuge Wude and Cui Dong slapped each other and attacked Tuoba Yu in a violent manner.

Seeing that the situation was critical, they ignored the rules of the world and joined the battle.

Tuoba Yu sneered, raised his left hand slightly, and the eagle claws on the other end of the lanyard immediately turned into dots of light, showering the two of them like a tide. Then a kick flew up from below, hitting Liu Heitao's lower body. He changed his moves calmly and calmly.

, it’s astonishing.

Liu Heitai used his ability to press the bottom of the box, using his feet to guard his feet from below, while using his claws and crutches to entangle his upper body with Tuoba Yu, he tried to drag his opponent down so that Zhuge Wude and Cui Dong could take advantage of him.

The sounds of energetic clashes and weapons clashing sounded one after another. Tuoba Yu did not hesitate to let go of Liu Heitai's iron crutch, extending Feilao's power to the limit, and involved all three masters in a little bit of brilliance.

All moves are exquisite and unique skills.

Although the fight was fierce inside the house, the enemies outside the house made no sound at all. It was hard to understand why.

Kou Zhong held his right hand and came to the outer edge of the battle circle, concentrating entirely on Tuoba Yu's method.

Xu Ziling also stared at the four people fighting fiercely, but the shock in his heart was indescribable.

In terms of martial arts, Liu Heitai is definitely above the level of masters like Shen Luoyan. Even if he meets Du Fuwei, he can still compete. Zhuge Wude and Cui Dong are also at the level of first-rate players. But now

With the combined strength of the three of them, they could barely resist Tuoba Yu. It was obvious that the disciple Bi Xuan randomly sent out was already a master at Du Fuwei's level. How could he not be shocked?

At this moment, Tuoba Yu let out a long laugh and retracted his claws, seemingly in a defensive stance. However, the three people participating in the battle all felt that there was a powerful killing hidden in it, and they scattered in unison.

Just by this move, three opponents could feel the threat of Feilao at the same time, which shows that he has indeed reached the state of "conveying thoughts with moves" and controlling the enemy's mind purely by his momentum.

Tuoba Yu's eyes were filled with cold light, and his flying eyes crossed and formed a stream of light. He concentrated all his strength and shot at Liu Heitai, who was retreating rapidly. He was still ahead of his opponent faster than his opponent.
