Chapter 10 Chapter 10 The Truth in Adversity

Yan Fei and Liu Yu rushed into the dense forest, one after the other, feeling exhausted.The former jumped to the top of a tall tree, while the latter leaned against the tree and looked back, scanning the vast wilderness outside the dense forest. Ruyin City became a small black spot in the southeast. Yan Fei returned to his side and said in a low voice: The falcon didn't follow. Liu Yudao: Is it called Tianyan? Yan Fei was surprised and said: "Brother Taiwan has extraordinary insight and vision, it is indeed the eye of heaven." Liu Yu said with a smile: I recognize the red cape of Qi Fu Guoren, not to mention his strange appearance.Brother Yan probably forgot that my name is Liu Yu.

Yan Fei said apologetically: Brother Liu, don't take offense, I don't remember anything when I'm drunk.Brother Liu is indeed a courageous person, knowing that he met begging Guoren, he still waved his knife to cut off the belt without fear. Liu Yu said frankly: I have never been afraid of anyone, but I just don't understand why Brother Yan didn't destroy Yaoyu immediately? Yan Fei took out the precious jade, handed it to Liu Yu, and said lightly: "I use it to harass the enemy and teach Fu Guoren to get in the way."Now that the jade has lost its function, it is handed over to Brother Liu for disposal.

Liu Yu took the treasure jade, took advantage of the moonlight, and concentrated his eyes to carefully examine the texture of the jade, and said: "So the purpose of begging for the benevolence of the country is not to seize the jade, but to come for Brother Yan, but it just happens to be the meeting. I don't know Brother Yan and Brother Yan." What does Fu Jian have to do with it? Yan Fei said: "It's hard to explain it in one word. Why did Brother Liu come to Ruyin?"Isn't that woman with Brother Liu? Liu Yu understood that Yan Fei didn't want to answer him, so he couldn't say anything, so he said with a wry smile: "My little brother is also hard to say."That demon girl is An Yuqing, she met in the city and wanted to kill me.It's really strange, even if you can recognize a famous mountain and scenic spot based on the geographical map of mountains and rivers on the jade, but it doesn't indicate the location of the scriptures, what's the use of it?After all, send Baoyu to Yanfei's eyes.

Yan Fei was not interested at all, but politely he had to look carefully, and agreed: "It's really strange." Liu Yu put away the precious jade and said, "this jade may still be useful. Brother Yan must have collected it from the border wasteland, right?"Do you know Gao Yan's situation? Yan Fei had a good impression of this wise and courageous new friend, and couldn't bear to hide it from him, saying: If you rush to Shouyang immediately, maybe he is still there.At worst, you can learn about his whereabouts from Hu Bin. You and Hu Bin should be colleagues! Liu Yu was disappointed for a while, he didn't answer Yan Fei directly, and said dejectedly: "Then I have to try my luck by myself."What is the situation in Bianhuangji?

Yan Fei had already guessed that his destination was Bianhuangji, and said with a smile, "Brother Liu, don't laugh at me, I am condescending. Fu Rong's vanguard army has already entered Bianhuangji, blocking all access roads to meet Fu Jian's army. If you go to Bianhuangji like this, it is no different from sending yourself to death.However, if brother Liu can tell me frankly what is going on, I may be able to help you. Liu Yu sighed secretly, although he had hit it off with Yan Fei at first sight, just seeing that he knew that begging Guoren was watching, but still disregarded his own safety to destroy the jade, lest the monster succeed, you can know what kind of person he is.The matter is of great importance, if it is leaked that he was looking for Zhu Xu, and if it gets to Fu Jian's ears, then nothing will be mentioned.With a wry smile, he said: "My brother has strict orders, please forgive me, brother Yan."

Yan Fei said calmly: "Brother Liu has something hard to say, so I won't ask any more questions. Before dawn, I still have to catch up. How about we break up here?"Hope to see you again in the future. Liu Yu stretched out his hands, clasped them tightly, and said sincerely: "Brother Yan didn't take offense, Liu Yu is very grateful."I fell in love with Brother Yan at first sight, if I was still alive and Brother Yan passed by Guangling again, he could come to Sun Wuzhong's General's Mansion to look for me, I will do my best as a landlord.When he said this, he waited for Ruo to indirectly admit that he was a Beifu soldier.

Yan Fei heard Sun Wuzhong's name, his heart moved, and he was about to speak when something happened suddenly. At the beginning, the two of them were still in a dream, not sure what was going on, they were at the edge of the dense forest with a radius of about three feet, and the branches and leaves were shaking, but they couldn't feel that they were blowing from the field into the forest. The northwest wind has intensified. Then the whistling sound seemed to come from all directions, at first it was barely audible, but in an instant it became a roar that filled the forest, filling the eardrums of the two of them, and the surroundings were filled with energy, forming countless sharp whirls as big as palms, scraping like sharp knives The two of them seemed to be caught in a strong storm all of a sudden, and they almost couldn't stand still. It's great that they can barely stand still.

Yan Fei felt that the whole world was darkened, the natural light would not change, and the bright moon remained the same, but his body protection zhenqi was rapidly consumed by the attacking cyclone, and his skills were reduced, resulting in his vision not being as good as before.And up to this moment, he still doesn't know the location of the attacker, only knows that this person's martial arts is so high, not only has he never seen or heard of it before, but he has never dreamed of it. Clang! Liu Yu pulled out the thick back knife and swayed it left and right in Yan Fei's blurred vision, which was more difficult than him, and it was more difficult to deal with it.

Suddenly, two beams of qi that have substance and irresistible force hit the vests of the two people respectively. If they are hit hard, they are guaranteed to rupture their internal organs, and their body-protecting qi cannot protect them at all. Yan Fei knew by feeling that Liu Yu was forced to slash the air column with a knife because he couldn't dodge it. The attacker's qigong not only surpassed the two of them, but he also did it with all his strength, while Liu Yu flinched in a hurry Challenge, the consequences can be imagined. Yan Fei let out a long whistle, Die Lianhua came out of its sheath, and the sun, moon, and beautiful sky were fully deployed. First, it blocked the opponent's cyclone with the energy of the moon, and then the energy of the moon turned into the energy of the sun. Going to the gap between the two pillars of air, against the current of air, he strikes back and forth with his sword.

At this time, Liu Yu's knife with real strength all over his body has hit the sharpness of the air column, and suddenly he felt that the opponent's strength has been reduced by several percent, but it is as if the blade was hit hard by a heavy hammer. Driving, until the back bumped into the thick trunk of the tree, he slid on the root of the tree in anger and blood, almost unable to hold the thick back knife that never left his hand. The sound of clashing vigor rang out in a series of dense and dense places in the dark forest. Liu Yu saw a tall and burly man in black with a hideous and terrifying ghost mask on his face. The old Yan Fei fled from east to west, struggling left and right, surrounded by dangers, and was in danger of dying at every turn.

Liu Yu knew that it was Yan Fei who risked his life to resist the enemy and rescued himself.Otherwise, instead of sitting here panting for breath, I would become a corpse!Moved in my heart, I recovered my strength quickly, took out the precious jade from my bosom, and shouted: "Taiping Baoyu is here!"With a wave of his hand, he threw Baoyu out of the forest vigorously. The terrifying master like a demon king waved his sleeve so that Yan Fei turned and fell to the side. Suddenly, he came out through the forest, chasing after Baoyu, overtaking the ghost. Liu Yu rushed towards Yan Fei in a hurry, Yan Fei was struggling to stand up from the ground, his face was as pale as paper, and the corners of his lips were stained with blood. Suddenly anger and fighting sounds came from outside the forest, Yan Fei showed joy, put his hand on Liu Yu's shoulder, and said: "God help me, it's begging Guoren to come, I'm sure he has no life or time to chase us."go quickly. The two fell in a small river flowing between two hills in the dense forest, more than ten miles away from the place where they were attacked. They lay on the cold wet soil by the river, panting for breath. Liu Yu suddenly laughed and choked up another mouthful of blood, making it unclear whether he was happy or in pain. Yan Fei was going to ask, but he laughed himself too. He laughed very hard, but he was also extremely happy. Liu Yu coughed and said: When I said Yaoyu was useful, I didn't think it could be used to save lives. How could I use it to take the old life of begging Guoren? Alas!Damn it!There is such a terrifying master in the world, seeing that he dare not show his true colors, I guess he is either Sun En or Jiang Lingxu, these two monsters. Yan Fei climbed two steps forward and dipped his head in the cool river water. Liu Yu saw that he was very happy, so he followed suit and dipped his head in the river water. As the sky gradually turned white, the creek meandered through hilly wooded areas, the banks of which were especially densely wooded, making it an ideal refuge for them. Liu Yu first raised his head from the water, let the water drip down his cheeks, and thought: That person may be An Yuqing's father, An Shiqing, but the possibility of this is low, let's see who will come again If you follow us, you can deduce who that person is. Yan Fei sat up cross-legged, circulated Qi and blood, and said, "How is Brother Liu's injury?" Liu Yu turned over and lay on his back, looked at the clear sky above the forest, and said: "It's just tired, nothing serious."I haven't had a chance to thank Brother Yan for saving my life. Yan Fei smiled and said: You save me, I save you, everyone helps each other in need, do you still want to go to the border? Liu Yu said spontaneously: The more difficult things are, the more fun I find, or I am the kind of person who is unwilling to dormant and loves to seek excitement. For example, now I feel that life has never been so meaningful before. Yan Fei nodded and said: You are indeed a very special person, please answer my question first? Liu Yu faintly felt that Yan Fei had something to say. After the fierce battle just now, the relationship between the two of them was very different. They felt like they lived and died together and fought side by side.Answered: Yes!I bear the great trust of the governor, even if I want to lose my life, there is only one way to go. Yan Fei said lightly: Xie Xuan? Liu Yu said calmly: The order was indeed issued by Governor Xie himself. Yan Fei said happily: Why did you suddenly become so frank? Liu Yu looked at him, and Yan Fei's graceful and masculine contours came into view. The most rare thing is not only that he is not vulgar, but also elegant and straightforward, which makes people willing to make friends with him and trust him.He said easily: The reason is very simple, without your help, I would never be able to complete the mission, so I finally made a wise choice. Yan Fei cast his eyes on him, and the four eyes met, all of them felt understanding, and there was no previous suspicion. Yan Fei said: To be honest, Gao Yan went to Shouyang to meet Xie Xuan for me. I had a way to make him win this battle, but unfortunately now I am not sure. Liu Yu sat up suddenly when he heard it, and said solemnly: I would like to hear the details. Xie Xuance stood outside Guangling City, accompanied by Liu Laozhi and He Qian, who he regarded as his right and left hands, both of them were dressed in leather, which made Xie Xuan's casual and handsome clothes look different from others. . The vanguard army of 20,000 people, under the leadership of Xie Yan, marched to the front line, and the destination was Bagong Mountain, a strategic place on the east bank of Feishui River. Xie Xuan watched the sons and daughters of the Beifu pass by in front of him, and his thoughts were ups and downs. Since the founding of Beifu Bing, he has never tasted the bitter fruit of defeat.The first battle that made him famous and established his status today took place four years ago. At that time, Fu Jian sent his son Fu Pi to lead a large-scale invasion of the south with 70,000 troops. He first captured Xiangyang, captured the governor Zhu Xu, and gained a foothold. Immediately, Peng Chao was sent to besiege Pengcheng, which shocked the Jiankang government and the public. Under Xie An's sole discretion, he was ordered to fight when he was still inexperienced. At that time, Xie An had only two words, which were bluffing and making a fuss.So he followed Xie An's words and bluffed as if he wanted to attack Liucheng where Peng Chao's luggage was located, forcing Peng Chao to lead his army back to Bao, and He Qian took the opportunity to recover Pengcheng.After Peng Chao joined up with another army, with more than 60,000 troops, he swung his army southward and surrounded San'a, an important town only a hundred miles away from Guangling. The warships and food ships cut off their retreat; the 60,000 Qin army that attacked San'a was almost wiped out, but unfortunately they had lost Xiangyang, and today Fu Jian was going to personally invade the south. This time when the Fu Qin army came to the south, it is completely different from what it was back then. Not only did they send out all the best soldiers, but Murong Chui and Yao Chang were even more brave generals than the current generation, so he was not even half sure of victory. However, he has always trusted Xie An who single-handedly promoted him, because his views have never been wrong, but he wonders if he is equally enlightened this time? boom! Huan Xuan slapped his palm on the nanmu table, and immediately there was a palm print, he had no sleep last night, drinking alone in the inner hall, his heart was full of anger and injustice. Huan Chong's accusations against him still linger in his ears, he asked himself that in any comparison, he is above Xie Xuan, but Xie Xuan occupies the first place in the list of nine-rank masters, and he can only be second; When the army came to the south, Governor Xie Xuan fought against him. He could only defend Jingzhou. When he thought about it more and more, the voice of Kuang Shimou, the number one confidant under his command, said outside the door: "Shimou has something important to report immediately. Huan Xuan said in a deep voice, "If it's not urgent, don't bother me." Kuang Shimou stepped lightly, came behind him, bowed his head and said in a low voice: "I don't know if Da Sima is worried about the situation in Jianghuai. After seeing Duke Nanjun, his old illness relapsed. He was lying on the bed and unable to do anything. It seems that the situation is not good." Da Sima is Huan Chong, and Huan Xuan's fief is in Nanjun, so he is the Duke of Nanjun.Four years ago in the Battle of Xiangyang, Huan Chong was hit by the arrows of the Qin people's quenching poison. Kuang Shimou is dressed in the attire of a scribe, with a thin body and a pair of treacherous eyes. He loves to calculate people with his mind. Huan Xuan drank another glass of mulled wine, and said indifferently: It would be best for him to die, because he has lost his father's prestige. Kuang Shimou was overjoyed and said: "Based on Nanjun Gong's words, Huangtu's hegemony will surely come true." when! The cup in Huan Xuan's hand fell on the table and turned into pieces, he said in shock: "What are you talking about?" Kuang Shimou Surong said: "If you lose a battle, you will destroy your family, and if you win, your family will be destroyed. This is the inevitable end of all the important officials and generals who have made great achievements in the Southern Jin Dynasty."Now that Fu Jian's army is coming from the south, the court is in chaos. If something happens to the Great Sima, Sima Yao has no choice but to let the Duke of Nanjun inherit the position of the Great Sima to appease the Jingzhou Army.This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, otherwise, if this happened in a stable period, Sima Yao would definitely take the opportunity to cut down the military power of the Huan family. Huan Xuan's face turned pale, and he said: "So what if Fu Jian wins?" Kuang Shimou said: As long as the soldiers of Nanjun are in control, it is logical to establish himself as emperor, and call on the soldiers and civilians in the south to take advantage of Fu Jian's unsteady position, take advantage of the upper reaches, cover the attack downstream, and drive Fu Jian back to the north, a great cause can be achieved. Huan Xuan's face became even paler, staring at the fragments of the wine glass on the table, he said word by word: You want me to Kuang Shimou hurriedly said: "How dare Shimou ask Mr. Nanjun to do something? Everything is up to Mr. Nanjun. Shimou is just fulfilling his duties as a minister, and he doesn't want Mr. Nanjun to miss the opportunity." Huan Xuan remained silent, but his chest continued to rise and fall sharply, showing that he was fighting a battle between heaven and man in his heart. Kuang Shimou leaned closer to his ear again, and said in a low voice: As long as Nanjun Gong pretends to visit Da Sima's condition, and then orders his servants to give Da Sima a dose of healing medicine, then Nanjun Gong's wish for the world will be fulfilled. Huan Xuan leaned back on the back of the chair, seemed to have lost his usual strength, closed his eyes and moaned: If he dies after taking the medicine, wouldn't I, Huan Xuan, become an unfaithful and unjust person? Kuang Shimou said: Don't worry, Mr. Nanjun, the drug will only take effect three days after taking it. Its effect is only to make Da Sima unable to suppress the residual poison in his body, and he will not be aware of it.well!Because Shimou has always understood the mind of the Duke of Nanjun, it took a lot of work for Zhang Luo to come back. Huan Xuan said in a deep voice, "Where is the medicine?" Kuang Shimou took out a brocade box from his pocket and put it on the table respectfully. Huan Xuan opened his eyes, stared at the brocade box, and asked: Does anyone else know about this matter? Kuang Shimou thought he had made a great contribution, and said with a wry smile: "How could Shimou be so negligent, only Shimou knows about this matter." Huan Xuan nodded, and suddenly slapped Kuang Shimou's chest with his backhand. Amidst the sound of fractures and flesh cracking, Kuang Shimou fell far away, and he didn't have time to let out the scream of death. Huan Xuan held up the brocade box with both hands, put it in his bosom with preciousness, and said calmly as if nothing had happened: Now only I know.
