Chapter 236 Nanqinghou, Lord of Luoshen Valley
On the plains dozens of miles south of Yuncheng.
Under the night, there are endless tents camped for miles.
Bonfires were lit every few feet, lighting up the surrounding area.
The noise of the soldiers, the neighing of the chariots and horses, and the crackle of the campfire all highlighted the seriousness of the camp here.
A tent camp of the Chinese army had a strange atmosphere at this time.
A soldier was kneeling not far from the tent, his head lowered and trembling.
Opposite him, in the middle of the tent, sat a middle-aged man in casual clothes.
The middle-aged man has a square face, about forty years old, with sharp eyebrows and is quite powerful.
But at this moment, his eyes were filled with tears, his lips were trembling, and his face looked sad and angry.
In his trembling hand, he held a long roll of paper.
He had read the words above, and his eyes were blurred, making his throat congested and choked with sobs.
"Commander Wang! Please express your condolences!" The soldier lowered his head and his voice was very low, full of fear.
The note was sent by soldiers, a flying letter sent from their coach's home. He had read the contents on it, and it really scared him.
Just because the content recorded above is too shocking - the coach's only son left at home was killed!
That guy named Chu was so audacious that he even dared to kill their coach’s son!
The man in front of me is Nan Qinghou, who is famous in the army!
How dare someone touch his son?
The soldiers could already imagine how furious their coach would be and how he would take crazy revenge.
Yes, this is the camp where Nanqing Hou Wang Yang leads his troops.
As the leading general of Liangzhou, he was not in Qingcheng when nothing happened, but listened to orders under the governor of Liangzhou.
The governor of Liangzhou was in Yuncheng, commanding the military and political affairs of Liangzhou, and arranging troops to defend against the barbarians in the south. This was also his mission.
Marquis Nanqing commanded an army of 30,000 people, and he arranged it dozens of miles south of Yuncheng.
Less than two hundred miles further south is the land of the barbarians.
On weekdays, when there is no war, Nanqing Hou trains his troops here; when there is a war, he can either retreat dozens of miles to defend Yuncheng, or he can march more than a hundred miles, go straight to the front line, and quickly join the battle with the barbarians.
He also knew that as a marquis with tens of thousands of troops under his command, he could not be too free in many things.
This was also the reason why he left his son in Qingcheng - he had to leave his family in the hands of the court.
However, he didn't expect that something would happen as soon as he stayed!
His son, the dignified prince of Nanqinghou, was broken into the house by a policeman, and his head was stabbed with a knife. His head was missing, but his body was missing.
boom!
After Nan Qinghou tore up the letter and newspaper in his hand, he hammered hard, smashed the wooden table in front of him, and dropped it to the ground with a clatter.
When the soldier heard the explosion, his body trembled a few times, and he kept saying: "My condolences, Commander-in-Chief Wang! Don't let your anger hurt your body!"
"Condolences?" Wang Yang stood up and laughed. The laughter was full of anger and sadness, and the tears in his eyes could not help but flow down his cheeks.
boom!
He kicked aside the broken knife in front of him, stepped in front of the soldier in two steps, kicked him over, and roared hoarsely: "My son is dead, and you want me to mourn? My only son." My son is gone! I, Wang Yang, have lost my heir! What kind of sorrow do you want me to have?!"
"Commander Wang!" The soldier got up and hugged Wang Yang's leg, pleading, "Commander Wang, you have to calm down!"
As Wang Shuai's personal soldier, he has followed him for many years, and the personal soldier knows his temperament better than anyone else.
If something like this happened, Marquis Nanqing would definitely not give up. He was afraid that the other party would be impulsive and do something unmanageable.
After all, he is a marquis with a large army under his command, and his influence is too great.
boom!
Wang Yang kicked the soldier away again, his face flushed, and he roared angrily: "Wang San! You are still not mine! My son was killed by others, and you tell me to calm down? I will calm you down! Get up! Give me I will gather three thousand troops! Go back to Qingcheng and avenge my son!"
After all, he had not completely lost his mind. He did not say that he would take back all the 30,000 troops under his command, but only wanted 3,000 troops.
However, three thousand men and horses are also terrifying.
Wang San did not obey the order, but knelt down and kowtowed to persuade: "Wang Shuai, we must avenge the prince's revenge! Wang San also wished to cut the murderer into pieces and quarter him. But, Wang Shuai, there is no war on the front line now, you He only has the power to command troops, not to mobilize them. Three thousand troops moved without orders and went north from southern Xinjiang. This... is tantamount to rebellion! I'm afraid we haven't reached Qingcheng yet, and the governor along the way Your Excellency is about to deploy troops to encircle and suppress us!"
"He dares!" Wang Yang's eyes were red, like an angry lion, "No one can stop me from avenging my son! I will kill that catcher named Chu! No! I will make his life worse than death. , I regret coming to this world! And those people in Qingcheng who are just watching from the sidelines, I will also let them be buried with them!"
Wang San was frightened when he heard this, and he didn't dare to obey the order. He once again hugged Wang Yang's leg and begged: "Wang Shuai, you are a military general, and you kill people or officials on a large scale without any reason. This is a major crime for the Yi tribe! Wang San!" Handsome, it's just a quick kill, why do you need three thousand men and horses!"
Wang Yang wanted to kick him again, but the soldiers hugged his thigh tightly, and he couldn't really kill him. He couldn't break free for a while, so he couldn't help but roared: "Wang San! Let go!"
"I don't! Unless Wang Shuai promises me not to act impulsively!"
"you……"
"Commander Wang, please beg me as Wang San! Even if you don't think about yourself, please think about your brothers. If we leave the military camp with you, it will be like rebelling. They will definitely die without a burial place."
These words made Wang Yang calm down a little. He took a deep breath and touched the tears on his face, his face twitching in pain.
"Wang San, what do you think we should do?" Wang Yang was already confused and completely lost his sense of proportion.
Wang San still hugged Wang Yang's leg and said quickly: "The Marquis has three hundred personal soldiers in the camp, and the soldiers can come and go with the Marquis at any time. As long as the Marquis gives the order, I will wait for San Hundreds of soldiers can leave the camp now. In addition, you can immediately send people to report to the governor of Yuncheng, saying that something has happened in the Marquis' family and you need to go back to deal with it immediately."
Wang Yang said reluctantly: "What role can three hundred people play?"
Wang San asked back: "With Commander Wang's martial arts and the fact that we have 300 soldiers who can fight one against ten, we still can't avenge the prince?"
Wang Yang said angrily: "How can killing a young catcher satisfy the hatred in my heart?"
This is what Wang San is afraid of. After hearing this, he quickly persuaded: "Wang Shuai, when you get to Qingcheng, you will never act on your own again!"
Wang Yang was silent for a moment, shook his feet a few times, and said, "Let go!"
"Wang Shuai calmed down?"
"Um!"
Wang San slowly let go.
boom!
Wang Yang kicked him over and shouted: "If you are still alive, hurry up and gather three hundred soldiers, and follow me to fight back to Qingcheng overnight!"
"Yes! Wang Shuai!" Soldier Wang San received the order and rushed out of the camp on the spot.
In the tent, Wang Yang was left with tears streaming down his face.
After just a moment of silence, Wang Yang immediately took off his casual clothes, put on his armor, went to a shelf on the left side of the tent, and grabbed the spear on it.
The body of the gun was red and glowed coquettishly under the light.
The tip of the spear shone with a bloodthirsty light.
Holding the spear tightly, Wang Yang calmed down a lot, with a look of solemnity on his face.
"Old man, you can drink blood openly again..." Wang Yang whispered, and when he raised his head again, his whole body was filled with murderous aura, like the god of death coming out of purgatory, exuding a terrifying aura.
Bang!
He opened the curtain and walked out.
Under the dark night, the bonfire flickered, and there was the noise of people and horses galloping.
嘘嘚嘚!
There was a sound of horse hooves flying.
Wang Yang took the lead, followed by hundreds of soldiers, running wildly under the dark night...
…………
It was just after Haishi.
Located between Qingcheng and Yuncheng, the Luoshen Valley is filled with bright stars in the night sky, all showing the brilliance and psychedelic beauty of summer nights.
Squeak!
Luo Changying opened the door of the master bedroom in a courtyard and walked in.
Inside the house, the lights were dim, and in the dark night there was a person sitting in the corner on the ground.
He was leaning against the wall, silent, his long hair hanging down from his forehead, looking so lonely.
If you look closely, you can see that his left hand is hanging on the ground, but his right hand is empty, with only his long sleeve hanging down.
It was Xu Lingfeng who had lost an arm.
He returned to Luoshen Valley more than twenty days ago.
There was a miracle doctor in Luoshen Valley, who quickly cured his body and brought him back from hell. The broken arm also began to scab, and it would be cured given time.
However, although there was nothing wrong with his body, his energy and spirit were sluggish.
To be exact, during these days, he was like a walking zombie, completely lifeless!
No matter who came to persuade him, they could not cheer up his spirit, including his master Luo Changying, and they could not revive him.
Originally, Luo Changying was also dissatisfied with his lifeless state, so she ignored him for the past few days and just turned a blind eye.
Now, he walked into Xu Lingfeng's room overnight.
Standing in the middle of the room, Luo Changying silently looked at the disciple sitting alone in the corner and didn't speak for a long time.
After a moment, Luo Changying's dry voice suddenly sounded: "Ling Feng, just now the Valley Master went to find the master and told us that starting from tomorrow, our Luo Shen Valley will send out men and horses to Qingcheng to kill Chu Tang."
Xu Lingfeng, who was silent at first, slowly raised his head when he heard the last sentence, revealing his confused eyes.
Luo Changying repeated what he just said.
After hearing this, Xu Lingfeng rolled his eyes, feeling confused and confused.
Looking at his master's eyes as deep as the abyss, Xu Lingfeng slowly opened his mouth and asked in a hoarse tone: "Kill Chu Tang? For me... it's not worth it!"
No matter how decadent he is, he still knows that the grudge between Chu Tang and him should not involve the entire Luoshen Valley.
Chu Tang and them mostly had conflicts with Luo Changying.
Luo Changying looked at Xu Lingfeng with emotion and said calmly: "It's not for you, nor for me, but Gu wants to kill him."
"Valley Master?" Xu Lingfeng was still a little dazed, "Why would the Valley Master order the killing of a young catcher?"
"Because Chu Tang did another big thing today and dug a hole in the sky! It's more serious than killing your junior brother and hurting you!"
Xu Lingfeng sat up slightly and asked, "Master, you actually think it's a big deal?"
"He killed Nanqinghou Crown Prince." Luo Changying said simply.
Xu Lingfeng was stunned for a moment.
He had heard of Nan Qinghou's reputation and knew what he was capable of.
He chuckled, and his dry voice raised his tone: "As expected of Chu Tang! He has the guts! But why did he kill Nanqing Hou Shizi for nothing?"
"It is said that it is for a few people..." Luo Changying slowly told the information she had obtained today.
Xu Lingfeng was silent after hearing this, and sighed after a while: "He is more of a charlatan than a charlatan!"
"So!" Luo Changying stabbed Xu Lingfeng, "He will kill Nanqinghou Crown Prince as soon as he says so, let alone chop off your arm?"
As soon as he mentioned his arms, Xu Lingfeng's momentum dropped sharply and he fell silent again.
Luo Changying was angry and said: "I am a policeman who is younger than you and has no higher level than you. For the sake of justice, you can ignore your own safety and put life and death at risk! As for you, you just lost one of your hands and you are about to live or die." Yes, aren’t you ashamed?”
Xu Lingfeng raised his head suddenly, stared at Luo Changying, and asked directly: "Master, is he your apprentice, or am I your apprentice?"
Luo Changying sneered: "If you continue like this, I might as well not have you as my apprentice! I, Luo Changying, have only three of you apprentices in my life, and now I am dead and useless. According to your appearance, am I going to commit suicide?"
"master……"
"Don't call me master! I gave you more than twenty days to adjust, but you are still half-dead, which has completely embarrassed me! Instead of returning to the valley and making people laugh, you might as well die on the same day. Forget it on the Moon Viewing Tower!"
Xu Lingfeng's breath froze and he looked at his master in disbelief.
He knew that his master was really angry, the kind of anger he had never seen before.
This kind of anger was not because he lost an arm in defeat, but because of his decadent disappointment.
"Master, I..." Xu Lingfeng's throat was dry and itchy, and he was blocked, unable to speak.
Luo Changying glanced at him and said, "If it's because you can't face Chu Tang, then I hope that after we kill him, you can wash away your inner demons and stand up again."
"No!" Xu Lingfeng was anxious, "I want to defeat him by myself, you can't..."
"Why do you defeat him?" Luo Changying sneered, "You don't even have the hand to use the sword."
"I can practice left-handed swordsmanship..." Xu Lingfeng's voice lowered, "Master, didn't you say before that you had a left-handed swordsmanship? I...I want to practice it!"
In the dimness, the corners of Luo Changying's mouth raised slightly, and he asked calmly: "Do you really want to learn?"
"Learn!" Xu Lingfeng slowly stood up from the ground, his expression was still haggard, but his eyes were much firmer.
Luo Changying added: "Even if you start learning now, it will take several years to regain your previous combat power."
"Master, I'm still young, aren't I?"
"Then...you can come to my place to learn swordsmanship again tomorrow." After saying that, Luo Changying turned around and wanted to leave.
Xu Lingfeng stopped him: "Master, can Chu Tang... be left to me?"
"cannot."
"Why? I don't even..."
"I just said it has nothing to do with you! Gu wants to kill him!"
"Valley Master, why..." Suddenly, Xu Lingfeng froze his body, showing an incredible look.
The crown prince of Nanqinghou...Wang Yang, Nanqinghou...the master of the valley!
Xu Lingfeng's breathing quickened and he asked in disbelief: "Master, there are rumors in the world that Nanqing Marquis Wang Yang has something to do with our Luoshen Valley. Could it be... that he is the owner of the valley?"
Luo Changying came back to her senses, looked at Xu Lingfeng complicatedly, and nodded slowly: "Yes, Wang Yang and our Valley Master are siblings from the same mother."
"Sister...brother?" Xu Lingfeng showed an ugly smile.
Luo Changying seemed to be recalling, and said: "That was many years ago. The Valley Master's family encountered an accident and the family was separated. The Valley Master joined our Luoshen Valley by chance and received the Luoshen Valley inheritance. . And Wang Yang wandered in the world, and was found by the Valley Master many years later. The rumors in the world are true. Wang Yang’s marksmanship belongs to our Bishop Gu. It can be said to be a simplified version of the Luoshen Marksmanship."
"No wonder! No wonder!" Xu Lingfeng murmured to himself.
Luo Changying added: "In other words, Wang Yang is the Valley Master's only relative in the world, and Wang Yang's son is the Valley Master's nephew. By killing him, Chu Tang almost eliminated the Valley Master's younger brother. You said Gu wants to kill him, shouldn’t you?”
Xu Lingfeng asked: "Master, who will Master Gu send to kill Chu Tang?"
Luo Changying shook his head and said: "This is beyond my control. But I think there must be someone stronger than you, or more than one person."
Xu Lingfeng smiled extremely bitterly.
Luo Changying took a deep look at him and said: "Lingfeng, you can practice the left-hand sword for another ten years. After this setback, I think you will practice more diligently and gain more experience. In ten years, you can raise your head again and compete with the world's swordsmen. !”
Xu Lingfeng nodded first, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Master, can you please send people from Qingcheng to inform Chu Tang that we are going to hunt him down in Luoshen Valley and tell him to run away!"
Luo Changying was surprised: "What the hell is your idea?"
Xu Lingfeng said bleakly: "The prince of Nanqinghou deserves to die. Chu Tang killed him, and it is right for Nanqinghou to seek revenge on him. But, he...should not die like this in the hands of us from Luoshen Valley. .”
Luo Changying smiled: "You don't want Chu Tang to escape so that you can challenge him again in the future, right?"
"This is the best!" Xu Lingfeng said in a low voice.
Luo Changying laughed loudly and walked out of the room quickly, and then his melodious voice came: "That's as you wish! Lingfeng, you are very good! You are really very good!"
Under the night, Xu Lingfeng laughed silently.
