Chapter 0021 Three Hunting Yang
Before dawn the next day, a rapid alarm bell woke up all the soldiers. More than 2,000 soldiers woke up from their sleep and ran out of the wooden house barefoot, talking a lot, not knowing what had happened.
At this time, a patrolman rushed from the entrance of the valley and ran to the wooden house where Yang Xuangan lived. Everyone asked loudly, "What happened?"
The patrolman just lowered his head and ran, ignoring everyone's inquiries, causing a lot of screams and scolding.
Soon, several Yang Xuangan's personal soldiers ran out of the large wooden house and shouted: "Lord has an order, and all officers above the brigade commander come to discuss matters."
The officers squeezed out of the crowd and walked quickly towards the large wooden house. Everyone was worried and stood beside the wooden house and discussed in groups of three or five.
Zhang Xuan quickly walked to another room next to the big wooden house. This was Yang Wenjun's residence. Yang Wenjun was just out of the house while dressing. When he saw Zhang Xuan, he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhang, what happened?"
"The sentry refused to say it, but I guess it was Yuwen Shu's army that arrived."
Yang Wenjun was shocked, quickly pulled Zhang Xuan aside and whispered: "I had an agreement with Xuan Gan yesterday. He will disband the army today and leave with us."
"Go to Yangjiazhuang?"
"No! No! He plans to go to Liangjun and we will go back to Yangjiazhuang. He promised not to implicate Yangjiazhuang again."
At this time, a personal soldier ran over and said to Yang Wenjun: "Master General, please come over immediately."
Yang Wenjun patted Zhang Xuan on the shoulder and turned around and followed the personal soldiers.
Soon, the military camp began to be in chaos. The officers finished their brief discussions and came back to convey the meaning of the commander. The entire army was disbanded, and each person was given five stagnant of money and three dou of rice. Everyone found their own way home.
The valley was in chaos, shouting, cursing, and clamoring. Everyone went back to the house to pack their own things. The officers ran to collect money and grain. The money and grain were first distributed to the officers, and then the officers sent it to the soldiers under their command. As for how the officers distributed it, Yang Xuangan ignored it.
At this time, Yang Wenjun walked over quickly and whispered to Zhang Xuan: "Go to the big ship quickly and we'll leave right away."
The situation was very critical. The sentry discovered the main force of the Sui army ten miles away, and ten thousand troops were coming along the mountain road towards the entrance of the valley.
Yang Xuangan used the golden cicada to escape from the shell, and used money and grain to drag the officers and soldiers to distribute their own property. He fled from behind with more than a dozen personal soldiers, drilled into the woods, and rushed to the river from the small road.
The two large ships by the river had untied their cables. Yang Wenjun led the Yang family's children to board the ship first. Soon, Yang Xuangan led more than a dozen personal soldiers to come out of the small path and run towards a large ship behind.
Yang Xuangan ran and waved, "You guys go!"
At this time, Zhang Xuan was very anxious. How could he be separated from Yang Xuangan? In desperation, he said to Yang Wenjun: "My master still has very important information to tell Yang Shangshu."
Yang Wenjun was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Hey! Why didn't you say it earlier? Go and follow him!"
Zhang Xuan rushed onto the board, jumped ashore in a few steps, pulled his feet to chase Yang Xuangan, and heard Yang Wenjun shouting from afar: "Young Master Zhang, remember to go back to Yangjiazhuang!"
"I see!"
Zhang Xuan ran very fast and rushed to Yang Xuangan's big ship in a blink of an eye. At this time, Yang Xuangan had already boarded the ship and was calling on the boatman to start the ship. Zhang Xuan rushed forward and shouted, "Shangshu Yang wait!"
"What else do you have?" Yang Xuangan knew that he was the one who came with Yang Wenjun.
Zhang Xuan raised the Seven-Star Sword high, "My Master Yang Qi, I have important information to tell Shangshu Yang!"
Yang Xuangan recognized the Seven-Star Sword, which was his father Yang Su's former sword, and later awarded it to Yang Qi, who was also his confidant and trained reserve warriors for him in Luoyang under the name of opening a martial arts school.
Suddenly, a personal soldier pointed to the mountain road in the distance and shouted: "Look at me, Sui Army!"
Yang Xuangan also saw that there were dense troops on the mountain road. Without thinking too much, he hurriedly said to Zhang Xuan: "Get on the boat quickly!"
Zhang Xuan jumped and overturned onto a big ship. The boatman took the oar and swung the boat away. The big ship headed towards the center of the river. The big ship of the Yang family's children took the lead. Just dozens of steps ahead, the two big ships headed eastward, one in front and one behind.
As soon as the ship left, Yuwen Shu led 10,000 elite Sui troops to rush down from the mountain road, and instantly filled the river. Yuwen Shu came one step later and watched Yang Xuangan's big ship walk away. He was so angry that he threw his helmet to the ground.
At this time, dozens of soldiers were carrying money and food to emerge from the woods. When they looked up and saw the Sui army, they were so scared that they shouted, "The officers and soldiers are here!"
They left their money and food and turned around and fled. Yuwen Shu gritted his teeth in hatred and said to the second-class guard Shang Master and disciple: "Take three thousand troops in and kill everyone, and don't leave any one!"
"Abide by the order!"
Master Shang bowed with his fists and turned around and ran to lead the troops. Yuwen Shu looked at Yang Xuangan's ship again and said coldly: "Yang Xuangan, I see you can escape there!"
He waved his hand, "The other soldiers followed me to chase him along the river, and we must chase Yang Xuangan!"
Yuwen Shu rushed out on horseback, and thousands of Sui soldiers turned around and followed Yuwen Shu along the riverside path to chase eastward.
At the same time, nine men in black who were originally lying on the other side of the shore also chased along the path on the other side, following Yang Xuangan's ship closely.

In the next thirty miles, neither Yuwen Shu nor the man in black on the other side of the shore had the opportunity to catch up with Yang Xuangan's ship. When he was about to reach Luonan County, the opportunity finally came.
Luonan County is located at the junction of Shangluo County and Hongnong County. It is a place where medicinal materials and furs are distributed. A large number of medicinal materials and furs are transported from the mountainous areas, traded in Luonan County and transported to Luoyang.
Several big merchants from Luoyang opened shops and traded here. They owned their own fleets and built wharfs on both sides of Luoshui.
In addition, Luonan County is also an important ferry, where merchants traveling from south to north take a boat to the other shore.
It is precisely for these two reasons that the docks of Luonan County are full of ships of all sizes.
Although Yang Xuangan asked Zhang Xuan to board the boat, he was not interested in Yang Qi and did not ask Zhang Xuan what important information Yang Qi had to give him.
Yang Xuangan ignored Zhang Xuan to the side. He stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back and looked at the water ahead with concern. Another boat of the Yang family's children had sailed away, and even the shadow of the boat could not be seen. They had no burden. They just wanted to stay away from Yang Xuangan's disaster as soon as possible. Everyone rowed their boats and sailed with all their might.
But Yang Xuangan did not allow the boatman to move quickly. He seemed very cautious and hesitant to whether he should abandon the boat and go ashore.
Zhang Xuan sat on the deck that was only a few feet away from Yang Xuangan, holding a horizontal knife in his hand, silently staring at Yang Xuangan's tall and majestic back.
He also clearly remembered the superb martial arts that Yang Xuangan showed a few months ago, the spear technique that was unsparkled, and the unscathed thousands of arrows could not be shot by him. He also had the kind of unreasonable courage of thousands of men and the violent force of killing thousands of people in the wild. Without the comparison of Yuwen Chengdu, he would almost think that Yang Xuangan was the world's number one general.
If he suddenly assassinated Yang Xuangan now, how confident would he be? Zhang Xuan had no idea at all.
But he knew clearly that the reason why he has not met an opponent yet and has won every battle is not that he is too strong, but that his opponent is too weak.
He is far inferior to Wang Bodang, and may he be the opponent of the powerful general Yang Xuangan?
Zhang Xuan slowly put the sword back and temporarily gave up the idea of sneaking attack on Yang Xuangan.
"What's your name?" Yang Xuangan asked coldly.
He didn't look back, but he knew that Zhang Xuan was staring at his back.
Zhang Xuan secretly called for gratitude. It turned out that Yang Xuangan had been observing him secretly. He hurriedly said, "I'm going to Zhang Xuan!"
"Is it the same mysterious as me?" Yang Xuangan asked again.
"No! No! There is also a golden side."
"Jin means sword, does it mean to add a blade to Xuan?"
Yang Xuangan suddenly turned around and stared at him with sharp eyes, "Are you here to assassinate me?"
Zhang Xuan's heart beat violently. He had never thought that his name would have the meaning of assassinating Yang Xuangan.
But he was shocked in his heart and smiled and said, "Shangshu Yang is joking! His name was given by his parents since childhood. How could he have the intention of assassinating Shangshu? Besides, my Xuan means to hold a tripod, and it has nothing to do with the blade."
Yang Xuangan looked at him for a moment, his eyes softened again, and he smiled and said, "I'm just joking with you, don't mind."
"I know!"
Zhang Xuan felt that his vest was a little wet. He restrained his inner tension and whispered: "Master is willing to help Shangshu Yang, and he hopes Shangshu can go to Luoyang."
Yang Xuangan shook his head and sighed, "He can't help me, no one can help me now. Only the heaven can help me, but it seems that even the heaven is no longer reliable."
His eyes were staring at the river bank. Zhang Xuan leaned his head and looked at the river bank. He saw the black Sui soldiers running along the river bank. Dozens of large ships were moored in front of him. Sui troops had already begun to board the ship.
Yang Xuangan shouted loudly to the personal soldiers: "The ship is leaning against the other side, and we are ready to abandon the ship and go ashore."
At this time, the boatman who was raising the boat screamed, and saw a short arrow inserted into his neck and fell into the water.
When everyone turned around, they found a large ship quickly approaching them. There were more than a dozen men in black, nine men and three women standing on the boat. The leader was a man with a beard on his face, holding two halberds in his hands and staring at Yang Xuangan coldly.
"Xuanwu Fire Phoenix!"
Yang Xuangan shouted in dismay, his face turned pale.
Zhang Xuan's eyes slowly narrowed. He recognized the figure of one of the women. Although she was covered in her face, Zhang Xuan was deeply impressed by her, and it was the woman who killed Yang Qi.
She is likely to reveal that Yang Qi is dead, so will Yang Xuangan doubt herself?
