Chapter 528
It turned out that the 30,000 soldiers and horses that Li Bufan came were just a cover. Yin Yang’s real killer move was the Golden Sword King Zhao Langjiang, the infamous murderous devil who could only win a million divisions by one person!
Xue Ping had never seen Zhao Langjiang, but Xue Huai, the King of Dingbei, had a high evaluation of this person during his lifetime, calling him "brave and good at fighting, unparalleled strategy." Xue Huai was very proud of himself, and even Yuwen Tianlu had never received such evaluation.
Xue Ping was puzzled at the beginning, why did his father have such a high evaluation of an unknown gangster and a small town in the border town in the western border. However, over the years, Zhao Lang fought south and north, beating two relatives, the King of Shu and His Majesty, who were not very harmonious, was so scattered, and even put aside his prejudices and joined forces. Even so, their sphere of influence was gradually eroded and they could only take a defensive posture, which shows that his father's vision at that time was very vicious.
Xue Ping has always had a relatively stable war on the Eastern Front and has no direct contact with Zhao Langjiang, but Zhao Langjiang's deeds have spread all over the world.
Conquering the Western Army was like a tiger with wings. The Chu army in the west of Shitou City was trained into a army of hundreds of battles and went north alone to assassinate the Regent of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. All of these things demonstrated Zhao Langjiang's ability. Even Lu Liangce, who was guarding Jianmen Pass under the King of Shu, joined Zhao Langjiang's flag. If it weren't for the timely discovery, I would have probably been the Yinyang army that had already entered Shu. There was no longer anything wrong with the King of Shu in this world.
However, the King of Shu and His Majesty were not idle either. They could not fight, but the public opinion was not idle. They portrayed Zhao Langjiang as a "butcher among men". They killed people without blinking. Wherever they passed, they did not grow up, burned, killed, and plundered, and did everything they could.
They were no match for military affairs, so they joined forces to hold a martial arts conference in Kaifeng Prefecture to recruit people from all over the world, work together to deal with Zhao Langjiang, and even promised the most important benefits of "the leader of the martial arts world, the national master of the Ming Dynasty, and the prince of a different surname".
Now, Li Bufan is in the mountain road.
Although he is a master of martial arts and is a disciple of Zhao Langjiang, Xue Ping has an army of thousands of people. As long as he gives orders, he can capture and kill this person at the cost of losing hundreds of people.
But Xue Ping did not issue this order.
He could not bear the consequences of killing Li Bufan, especially now that Zhao Langjiang has arrived at Shanhaiguan. If Li Bufan died, maybe tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the entire Shanhaiguan would be buried with him.
Zhao Langjiang is not Yuwen Tianlu, and killing people is like mowing grass, and there are not so many taboos.
Li Bufan said: "I came to Heilongzhai today. I wanted to rely on them to try to connect with General Xue, but unexpectedly, I encountered the general and saved a lot of trouble."
Li Bufan was calm and did not lose his own way because he was in a dangerous situation.
"I am telling you on behalf of Prince Zhao that as long as General Xue is willing to surrender, you will still be the guards of Shanhaiguan. Our forces outside the pass will all be ordered by General Xue."
Outside Shanhaiguan, there were dozens of warlords of all sizes and large forces, although they were not big and had conflicts with each other, but they were nominally obeyed Yin Yang's orders. Zhao Langjiang's promise, in addition to maintaining his existing power, made Xue Ping a veritable "King of Kanto".
This proposal is really exciting.
Xue Ping said: "Prince Zhao is kind, but Mr. Xue has already sworn to be loyal to His Majesty."
Li Bufan smiled and said, "Your Majesty? Is it the one in Luoyang Prefecture? Or the one in Chengdu Prefecture? These two people are just traitors who use the name of the royal family to take advantage of the chaos in the world. I guess the identity of Prince Zhao is not something I need to say, right?"
Under the conspiracy of Chai Gongwang, Zhao Langjiang was a prince of the previous dynasty, and everyone in the world knew it. Zhao Langjiang went east and south, and his identity was famous, which saved him a lot of trouble.
As for why Zhao Langjiang's surname is Zhao but not Zhu, Chai Gongwang explained this: the world has not been ruled for one day, and the traitors will not be eliminated for one day, and the Prince Zhao will not restore the national surname for one day, otherwise he will have no face to face Taizu in the future.
Xue Ping sneered
, “So what?”
Li Bufan said lightly: "General Xue is a dragon and phoenix among people, and a proud green pine tree. If he surrenders, it is better. If he does not surrender, we will not make things difficult for the general. However, with Zhu Lide's nature, we will definitely doubt the general, so we sent someone to take the general's family to Yinyang. Whether the general goes or stays, the general will decide whether he will take it."
When Xue Ping heard this, he felt shocked.
It turned out that Zhao Langjiang had already planned for Shanhaiguan and could rob his family under the layers of guards in the capital, which showed their ability to penetrate Luoyang City. Li Bufan was very polite, but he was also warning him that their family was already in Yinyang's hands and that they would still surrender if they wanted to resist to the end. They had to weigh it carefully.
Xue Ping frowned, "Are you threatening me?"
Li Bufan smiled and said, "We are determined to win Shanhaiguan. If we lose the city, the King of Shu will vent his anger on your family. We are afraid of the general's heart, so we only think more about things."
Li Bufan said again: "At that time, King Dingbei gave a ceremony to Prince Zhao to worship the north."
Ten years ago, when the way of heaven came, Zhu Liye was "killed" by the Demon Cult. All officials in the capital supported Zhao Langjiang as the emperor and became the emperor for one day. At that time, many officials survived the disaster. However, King Yu and King Shu issued bans, but the news was also circulated among a few people, and Xue Ping naturally knew about this.
For example, today, the King of Shu and King of Yu have all been elected as emperors and fought for the orthodox position. Zhao Langjiang is the strongest, but he has never been willing to be elected as emperor, but his identity is the most orthodox.
The most critical thing is that the capital was destroyed at night when the way of heaven came, and the "jade seal" representing the emperor's supreme power was also missing and its whereabouts were unknown. Therefore, even if it is called emperor, it will not stand by the law.
Is it a war? Is it a surrender?
Xue Ping hesitated.
...
Heilongzhai Prison.
The sword was tense outside, but he couldn't feel it in the prison. Yang Xiling and the four leaders of the parish were still planning for the escape.
A needle will naturally not be used to dig tunnels.
But it can be used to unlock the lock!
Yang Nuxia naturally doesn't know how to steal and unlock the lock, but this kind of thing will not defeat several of the counterfeiters.
Even if they unlock the lock, how they avoid the guards outside and sneak into the Siding House's room smoothly is what they need to care about.
There is only one chance. Once it fails, it will cause the other party to be alert and it will not be so easy to escape.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the lock core opened.
The five of them waited for a while, and saw that no one came, they opened the door of the cell, leaned out, looked left and right, and tiptoed to the room of the Sidun House, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Lucky, so lucky!
The Sidon House is obviously not a clean person. The room is a bit messy, with leftover food and moldy clothes everywhere, and a strange smell.
Yang Xiling couldn't help pinching his nose.
The boss scolded, "The fourth brother, I have told you how many times you have to stop eating stinky tofu."
The second in commander advised, "Brother, escaping is important."
The Siden House came to the bed and lifted up the greasy bedding, revealing a pitch-black iron plate. Under the iron plate, there should be a secret door, and the secret door was locked.
"Why are you still standing there? Open the lock?"
The four heads scratched their heads, "The key is in the conference hall."
They were lucky to be able to escape here. The meeting room was full of officers and soldiers, and going to get the keys was like falling into the trap.
The boss said angrily: "What kind of lock is it if you have nothing to do?"
“I’m afraid of someone, too
I found this place and fell asleep in the middle of the night. Someone lifted the bed, which was quite terrifying."
When Yang Xiling saw them quarreling, she whispered, "Isn't there a needle?"
With an embroidery needle, you can open the first lock, and naturally you can open the second lock.
The Sidun was a little embarrassed: "After opening the cell lock just now, he threw away the needle."
Everyone's faces turned dark, "Why didn't you throw yourself away?"
Seeing that everyone had no choice, Yang Xiling decided to take action. Since it was too soft, then let's be tough.
When she entered the prison, Xue Ping and the others did not confiscate her sword. She took out the Jinghong Sword and said to everyone, "Get out of the way!"
The second leader said, "Women, doing this will attract officers and soldiers."
Yang Xiling glanced at him, "Idiot, block the door first and delay them for a while. Before they come, we will escape from the secret passage."
Yang Xiling swung his sword.
Boom!
With one sword, the entire bed was split in half.
It's really a good sword that cuts iron like mud!
Everyone exclaimed.
There was a sound of footsteps outside. It seemed that the sword just now was too loud, alarming the officers and soldiers. Everyone hurriedly got into the tunnel, and the last person pulled the bedding back on the bed, and tried to delay for a while to give them time to escape.
In the secret passage, it is extremely dark.
Because the air is not circulating all year round, there is a stench inside. It seems that a large part of the smell in the Sidun's room comes from the secret passage. I just blamed Sidun's family just now, but it is really difficult for him to live in such a room for so long.
Yang Xiling couldn't help but retching.
She was used to being rich and well-behaved since childhood, and she walked around the world to make a name for herself. She never used to be like today. She first broke into a mountain village and was imprisoned, and then ran away in such a smelly place. She regretted it so much.
Thinking of the words of the Heavy Snow Demon, there are some furious horses wherever they walk in the world, and there are murderous opportunities everywhere. Although nothing is a disaster for death, it is far from the world she imagines.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help crying.
It’s not too much to be angry if you don’t cry. This cry scared the four leaders of Heilong Village. Today, the copycat was picked up, which is already unlucky enough. Now there is such a master who is in trouble. He dare not beat him or scold him, and he can only coax her.
"Miss, don't cry. It's important for us to escape. If the pursuers behind us come, none of us will escape."
When Yang Xiling heard this, he wiped his tears and fled down the mountain with the four of them. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers in the mountain village did not follow.
Half an hour later, the five people fled to the foot of the mountain.
Finally seeing the light of day again, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Look at Ms. Yang again, she was covered in dust and covered in mud, and she was so embarrassed.
The four leaders of Heilong Village are not much better, but they are born into bandits and have been used to this kind of life for a long time, so they don’t think much.
"Brother, our village was taken down, what should we do next?"
The boss waved his hand, "How did I know that I don't want the village anymore. At worst, I can wander around the world. Find a better place in Feng Shui and make a comeback!"
Yang Xiling escaped from death, relaxed at this moment, and regained his passion, saying, "At least we share a lot of hardships. If you have no place to go, I still have a few followers, so let's follow me."
In times of crisis, I am afraid of death.
Now that the crisis has been resolved, when I think back, Ms. Yang actually feels that this world is becoming more interesting.
