Chapter 122: The gun comes out like a dragon, the lion recognizes its master (8k)
The next morning at court, the Minister of War reported that Beijing had been captured by bandits.
Zhao Ding, the Imperial Counselor, took the opportunity to speak out and brought up the old incident of Guan Sheng's failure in the expedition and the waste of money, food and troops, and suggested that Huizong pardon the crime and recruit soldiers to serve as border defense.
Huizong was greedy for pleasure at this time, and most of the ministers around him were treacherous and flattering. Zhao Ding was a rare clean official in the court. He wanted to advise the emperor to surrender and remind him tactfully, implying that Cai Jing should be punished for his poor judgment of people. However, he underestimated the speed with which the old fox would take revenge.
After Guan Sheng's previous expedition was defeated, Cai Jing also advocated for peace and tranquility. However, he learned that his son's "rival in love" was in Liangshan, and now he was provoked by Zhao Ding in the palace, so he had to stand up and fight back.
Cai Jing walked slowly to the jade steps and explained to the emperor that Liangshan was extremely evil and that recruiting them would be unfair to the civilians who had died. He also encouraged other rebels and suggested that the court send more powerful soldiers and generals to suppress them.
At the same time, Cai Jing angrily denounced Zhao Ding for interfering in military affairs beyond the limit, and this view was echoed by his followers such as Gao Qiu and Wang Fu.
Seeing that his ministers were indignant, Huizong dismissed Zhao Ding from office and demoted him to a commoner.
The court officials quarreled in the hall and their faces turned red, which made Emperor Huizong of Song very upset.
After court was dismissed, Zhao Ji planned to go out of the palace to relax, but his security work had to be prepared in advance, so he summoned Yang Jian to arrange the trip.
Yang Jian naturally agreed, but when he was about to leave, Zhao Ji stopped him.
"Taifu, wait a minute."
"Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"
"Then Liangshan has conquered many prefectures and counties. I am worried that Generals Shan and Wei may not be able to defeat them. Where is Yang Chang that I asked you to inquire about? Why is there no news so far? The princess is already seventeen years old. How long are you going to let me wait?"
"This"
Seeing Yang Jian hesitate to speak, Zhao Ji immediately frowned and asked, "Does this matter make you feel very embarrassed? I can find someone to investigate."
"No, no, no, that's not it." Yang Jian waved his hand and replied: "In fact, I have already found out, but this person is a bandit."
"Thieves?"
Zhao Ji's eyes widened.
"Yes," Yang Jian nodded with difficulty, and added: "He is one of the leaders of Liangshan. I just learned about him, but he does have some skills."
"What a Liangshan bandit."
Zhao Ji immediately frowned and said solemnly: "It seems that it is necessary to pacify the water. Can you help raise some military funds? I plan to mobilize more troops!"
"Ahem." Yang Jian coughed a few times quickly, then bowed and said tactfully: "Grandmaster Cai has appointed two new generals, who may be able to relieve your majesty's worries. I heard that the Liangshan bandit leader Chao Gai was shot and killed in Lingzhou last year. My health is not as good as before, so I just want to help you repair the garden."
"Well, you have a heavy burden to bear. I hope Cai Jing will appoint two new generals and not let me down again."
Zhao Ji spread his wide sleeves and went straight towards the direction of the Palace Museum, which was originally where he wanted to seek the truth, but was occupied by Zhao Fujin.
Does this girl really want to practice Taoism?
Our Zhao family is not like the Li family. It is impossible for us to let the princess practice Taoism in the name of Taoism and then be granted land and keep a lover.
With Maode's appearance and personality, she should have been a well-behaved daughter, all because of the influence of Yang Chang.
I originally wanted to take you as my consort, but you are a thief.
You, deserve to die!
"A sneeze."
"Officer, what's wrong with you?"
Outside the Liangshan Loyalty Hall, Yang Chang just sneezed, which attracted Hu Sanniang's concern.
The reason why she was so nervous was because of several things that happened when she returned to the mountain, and she was worried that her man would be unhappy.
Ever since Yang Chang beat the Kong brothers, Hu Sanniang has been feeling very upset. But when Song Jiang came back, instead of punishing her, he asked Kong Ming and Kong Liang to host a banquet to apologize.
Hu Sanniang thought Hei Sanlang was magnanimous, but just now when Yang Chang took her to ask Song Jiang to go down the mountain with Lin Chong to meet Guan Sheng, she was rejected by Song Jiang again.
It is still unknown whether he still holds a grudge.
Seeing Hu Sanniang's worried eyes, Yang Chang touched her forehead again and comforted her softly, "It's just a normal sneeze. Your husband didn't catch a cold or get sick. Maybe someone is scolding me behind my back."
"I believe this."
"Let's go, let's go home and make pot cakes."
"No more striving for it?"
"No need, there's no need to beg for mercy, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Oh"
According to Yang Chang's understanding of the plot, it didn't seem to be difficult to subdue the two generals of water and fire. If it weren't for the fact that the main general who was to support him this time was Lin Chong, he wouldn't have wanted to follow and pick up corpses. After all, serving as a deputy general for an acquaintance is definitely better than serving as Hu Yanzhuo.
The Chinese people's fear of insufficient firepower is fully reflected in Yang Chang. His strength is considered to be above average in Liangshan, but he still has his own concerns.
During the battle of Zengtou City that night, Yang Chang felt that Shi Wengong was stronger than Lin Chong and could be considered the current ceiling of physical attack.
As for Lu Junyi who had just come to the mountain, he had been tortured in prison until his face became haggard, and Yang Chang had not had the chance to see him with "unparalleled skills in the world with guns and sticks".
Yang Chang's martial arts skills have not reached the peak of Liangshan, and there are still two magic swords (Gongsun Sheng and Fan Rui) hanging over his head, so he has to work hard to pick up corpses to improve himself.
It was still cold in the first month of the year, and Commander Yang had no military duties to attend to recently, so he lay lazily on the couch in the morning.
The couple moved to a small village and lived next to their fifth uncle Yang De's family. Hu Sanniang didn't dare to lie in bed. She got up early to do the housework and then went to the camp for her routine inspection.
When she came back after finishing her work, she saw Yang still lying in bed.
Hu Sanniang then came to sit beside the couch, stroked Yang Chang's cheek with the back of her hand, and murmured, "Sir, what's wrong today? Aren't you going to get up? The sun is already high outside."
"I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well sleep a little longer, no matter how many times I cast a line."
Yang Chang's heart was moved when he finished speaking. He immediately reached out and hugged Hu Sanniang, and she fell directly into his arms. He said meaningfully: "My lady, why don't you just get on the bed? I'm just in the mood."
"don't want."
When Hu Sanniang fell, her waist was hurt. She immediately understood what the man on the couch wanted to do, so she broke free and stood beside the couch, saying angrily: "It's bright outside, sir, please don't tease me anymore. What if Aunt Wu suddenly comes over? How can I live like this?"
"Hahaha."
Seeing Hu Sanniang's blushing face, Yang Chang joked with a smile: "It's better to live in the big tent in the big village before. It's far away from Uncle Wu's house and won't be affected."
"Ahem, that's right." Hu Sanniang coughed dryly and quickly changed the subject: "I just got the news that Li Kui volunteered to go down the mountain yesterday and had an argument with Song Jiang, and then sneaked down the mountain alone at the second watch last night. Do you think this guy won't go somewhere else?"
"impossible."
Yang Chang gave the answer without thinking, and added: "This guy is addicted to killing people. He probably wants to go to Lingzhou with Lin Chong, but Song Jiang is afraid that he will be reckless and make trouble. Now he has gone down the mountain to have fun. He will return to Liangshan when he is tired."
"Even Li Kui is bickering with Song Jiang, so it seems that he is not targeting you, sir?"
"It doesn't matter whether the needle is targeted or not. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway."
After hearing Hu Sanniang's gentle consolation, Yang Chang smiled at her magnanimously, thinking that there would be many wars in the future, and Hei Sanlang would not always ignore me, but if you are determined to hide me, then there is no need for me to stay.
After all, cutting off someone's source of income is like killing his parents. Not allowing Yang Chang to pick up the body is tantamount to cutting off his source of income.
About twenty days later, Song Jiang suddenly summoned the leaders of each camp to the top of the mountain to gather, apparently to hold a banquet to celebrate Guan Sheng's victory.
Yang Chang rushed to Zhongyi Hall alone, but saw a group of people standing in a row. How could it look like a gathering to eat and drink? Instead, it looked like they were about to send their generals to war.
Aren't we going to attack Zengtou City? It seems like the time is about right.
Thinking of this, Yang Chang couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that he was going to get a big promotion again, so he quietly leaned behind the crowd.
Wu Yong saw that most of the leaders of the various camps had arrived, so he reminded Song Jiang, "Brother, most of the people have arrived, we can start now."
"Ah."
Song Jiang nodded slightly, stood up and looked around at everyone in the hall, then said in a deep voice: "First, Zeng Toushi stole my good horse, then shot and wounded Chao Tianwang, and now he has taken away more horses. This is simply intolerable. If I don't take revenge, I'm afraid I will be laughed at by heroes all over the world!"
"It's spring now, a good time for fighting."
Wu Yong echoed and encouraged: "The previous troops lost the advantage of the terrain, and now Shi Qian has found out the enemy's situation. Brother, please send troops as soon as possible, and we will flatten this place in one fell swoop."
Song Jiang stroked his beard and nodded, muttering, "Since the Zeng family has set up five camps, we will dispatch five troops to split up his five camps."
"I have been saved, but I have not yet done my best. I am willing to do my best to move forward. I wonder what your opinion is?"
"Very good, very good."
Seeing Lu Junyi volunteering, Song Jiang clapped his hands and smiled, nodded happily and said: "If you are willing to come down the mountain, you can be the vanguard."
"Brother, wait a moment, listen to what I have to say! Mr. Lu has just come to the mountain stronghold and has never been in battle, and he has not had a long time to recuperate. Even if he goes down the mountain, he cannot be the vanguard. The mountains around Zengtou City are rugged and it is inconvenient to ride a horse. It is better to lead a group of soldiers and horses to ambush in Pingchuan, and then come to support when you hear the cannon of the central army."
Wu Yong knew that Lu Junyi was powerful, and he was afraid that he would capture Shi Wengong in one fell swoop, and Song Jiang might not be able to cope with the situation.
After all, Chao Gai's last wish was not fulfilled, and Song Jiang's position as the leader of the stronghold was still temporary. This legal basis cannot be given to outsiders.
Once Song Jiang opened his mouth, how could he change his words immediately?
He understood Wu Yong's expression, but he didn't believe Lu Junyi's luck. He thought, when has the vanguard ever won the first merit? Going back on one's words would damage one's prestige.
Song Jiang insisted on using Lu Junyi, but Wu Yong, contrary to his usual behavior, refused to agree and made many excuses.
When Yang Chang saw the two arguing, he frowned and couldn't believe his eyes.
Was he too aggressive today? They were arguing fiercely? Wu Xuejiu turned against Tian Gang, would Hei Sanlang bear a grudge?
As it turned out, Yang Chang was overthinking.
Not only did Song Jiang not hold a grudge, but he quickly compromised with Wu Yong because he had a clear mind.
"Well, for Mr. Lu's health, you and Yan Qing will lead 500 infantrymen to Pingchuan Road to wait for help. Maybe there will be some fish that slip through the net, which can be regarded as contributing to the mountain stronghold."
"OK."
Lu Junyi was also stunned just now, so how could he insist on being a pioneer at this moment?
After hearing this, Yang Chang could not help but sneer secretly, thinking that if you give Lu Junyi 500 infantrymen, they will not even get a drop of water in a normal fight, but his luck is against the sky, and he happened to pick up Shi Wengong who escaped.
Song Jiang immediately began to deploy troops and determined the main and deputy generals of the five armies on the spot.
Since he was going to lead his troops down the mountain in person the next day, Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng would also follow the army. Leaders like Guan Sheng and Lin Chong who had just returned to the mountain stronghold would have to stay in Liangshan to defend it this time.
Yang Chang couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, thinking that it was a good thing that Old Song rejected him last time, otherwise he would not be able to make money in Zengtou City.
But this good mood did not last long. He saw that the leaders around him were called one after another, even Zou Yuan, Zou Run, Chen Da and Yang Chun were called, but Yang Chang's name was not called yet.
Damn, Heisaburo, are you serious?
Kong Ming and Kong Liang, the two funny guys, both have a role, but they refuse to give me, Yang, a position. I'm afraid your targeting is quite obvious.
Believe it or not, I will take my uncle's family and leave right before you guys come down the mountain? Then I will go directly to the south to join Fang La and pick up the bodies of you Liangshan heroes.
While he was deep in thought, Wu Song suddenly pulled his sleeve.
"What are you thinking about? Brother Gongming is calling you."
"Ah I"
Yang Chang came back to his senses instantly.
Song Jiang looked at him, stroked his beard and murmured, "Sanlang, you have always been cautious. Besides, you have been to Zengtou City before. This time, you can go with Lu Yuanwai and Sanniang will not have to go down the mountain."
"what?"
Yang Chang was stunned for two seconds, then he reacted and waved his hands, hesitatingly saying: "No, brother, I want to fight with the main force"
Song Jiang shook his head slightly after hearing this, and said seriously: "You are kind-hearted, but I am afraid you can't be cruel. You are saving people on the way. If you want to pick up a suitable weapon, you can go to clean up the battlefield. This matter is settled. Brothers, get ready immediately and set off down the mountain soon."
"Yes."
Song Jiang made the decision without further ado, and Yang Chang's opinion was drowned out by the chorus of responses.
Unable to overcome the opponent's might, Yang Chang said hello to Lu Junyi in the Loyalty Hall and then returned to the small village in the back mountain to bid farewell to Hu Sanniang.
If he leaves Liangshan now, it will be difficult for Wu Song to explain.
Just now, Song Jiang promised to clean up the battlefield. Even if Yang Chang follows Lu Junyi to "fight in the wild", he still has the opportunity to enter Zengtou City to pick up corpses and win prizes. It is a blessing in disguise.
As he was walking on the mountain path back to the village, a cold wind suddenly blew towards him, blowing straight into Yang Chang's neck, causing him to shiver.
wrong.
its not right!
Yang Chang stood still. He suddenly realized that Song Jiang's selection of generals this time was unusual. Among the leaders who followed Chao Gai to attack Zengtou City last time, none of them were selected this time except himself.
If Lin Chong had just returned from Lingzhou and wanted to rest, then why did he bring Yang Zhi, who was going to Lingzhou with him?
Not only did Hu Yanzhuo, Xu Ning, Sun Li and others stay on the mountain, but Hei Sanlang did not take any of his close confidants, including Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu, Yan Shun, and Huang Xin, with him.
Thinking of this, Yang Chang stroked his chest and lamented that his application to go to Lingzhou last time was not approved, otherwise he would not be able to go this time.
When she returned to the village later, Hu Sanniang learned that Yang Chang had joined the expedition to Zengtou City and was accompanying Lu Junyi on the outskirts. Her originally nervous heart immediately calmed down.
Lu Junyi is unrivaled in the world with his spear and stick skills. Even Lin Chong feels inferior to him. So, dealing with Shi Wengong should be no problem at all?
Yang Chang served as a guide and did not need to mobilize the troops of the small camp himself. He said goodbye to Hu Sanniang and went straight down the mountain, waiting for Lu Junyi at Yazui Beach early.
The mission Lu Junyi received was very much like a mission to gain experience as a relative. He had few soldiers and they were all infantry, and they were also the last to cross the river by boat. It was estimated that by the time he arrived at the front line, the battle might have been over.
It was obvious that Wu Yong was targeting him, but so what?
His family is broken up and now he is living under someone else's roof, so he can only let things take their course.
Lu Junyi was nine feet tall, several inches taller than Guan Sheng and Zhu Tong. Yang Chang estimated that he was over two meters tall, while Yan Qing was only as tall as Song Jiang.
From a distance, I saw two people walking side by side, like a mighty man leading a monkey.
Yan Qing is about the same height as Song Jiang, but he has dignified features, fair skin, no beard, and he has many talents, otherwise how could he be favored by Li Shishi? (Brother control?)
"Brother, have you been waiting for a long time? Sorry, sorry, it took me some time to lead the troops with the master."
"Brother Xiaoyi, you are too polite. I came here from the back mountain. In fact, I just arrived a moment ago, but the main forces of the five routes have not yet crossed. Mr. Lu, we have to wait for a while."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Yan Qing was older than Yang Chang, but her little mouth was as sweet as honey, and she quickly became close to Yang Chang. On the contrary, Lu Junyi had experienced many changes, and his eyes no longer had the brilliance of the past. He had not met Yang Chang before going up the mountain, so he did not have a deep impression of him at this time.
Seeing that Lu Junyi's response was indifferent, Yan Qing took the initiative to find Yang Chang to bring up the topic.
"I heard that brother has been to Zengtou City before. Is it really that dangerous? Even King Chao died there. How about Brother Gongming and his men this time?"
"At that time, Chao Tianwang only brought 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the leaders of the army did not make careful considerations and did not have a military advisor with them. This time, Liangshan has more than 20,000 soldiers, so they should be able to defeat them in one fell swoop."
"I see. Now we should be confident of winning. By the way, I heard that brother's cooking skills are very good. Can I take the liberty of trying some next time?"
"Ok?"
Yang Chang didn't expect that Yan Qing, who had been in the mountains for a short time, knew him so well.
As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit a smiling person. He quickly nodded and smiled in response: "Brother Xiaoyi is willing to come. Yang Chang is very happy."
"Haha." Yan Qing smiled, "That's settled. I'll come and bother you when I get back from Zengtou City."
Yan Qing is able to read people's expressions, know when to advance and when to retreat, and is an informed person. These are the extraordinary skills he acquired while he was a servant.
When they followed Lu Junyi to join Liangshan, they found that many people were on guard against them. Lu Junyi was bound by his status as a wealthy man, so he couldn't bring himself to please everyone.
In order for his master and servant to gain a foothold in Liangshan, Yan Qing naturally tried his best to make more friends, and leaders like Yang Chang, who were highly popular, became his first choice to get close to.
During the march, Yan Qing chatted closely with Yang Chang during the day, and served Lu Junyi to rest at night, fulfilling the duty of a loyal servant.
Yang Chang has been in this world for four years. He is no longer the ignorant boy he was at the beginning. Although he still holds on to kindness in his heart, he has already understood the ways of the world.
How could Yang not see Yan Qing's obvious show of goodwill? But he could feel his sincerity, so he couldn't hate him.
The two of them were talking and laughing, and the march was not boring.
After walking down the mountain for nearly ten days, the five hundred people arrived at the outskirts of Zengtou City, while Song Jiang's main force had already arrived there for two days.
Just as Lu Junyi was preparing to find a place to camp, he saw a man coming from the north, riding the wind and stepping on the grass. Seeing this, Yan Qing hurriedly reminded him, "Master, look, it seems to be Dean Dai!"
"Yeah, I saw it."
Lu Junyi immediately dismounted and waited by the roadside.
Dai Zong stopped accurately in front of the three people, retracted his magical powers, and immediately clasped his fists to greet the three people.
"Mr. Lu, Brother Yang, Brother Xiao Yi"
"Dean Dai."
"Dean Dai, how is the battle situation at the front?"
Seeing that Lu Junyi was so concerned about the war, Dai Zong was stunned for a moment before answering: "The two sides have fought several times. Zeng Tu, the eldest son of the Zeng family, was beheaded. We have the upper hand now. My brother and the military advisor are working on a plan to defeat the enemy."
"That Lu"
"There may be reinforcements from Zengtou City, so it will take some time to defeat the enemy. You can camp in Liulin in the southwest. Brother Yang Chang should know the location. If there is any adjustment, we will notify you again."
As soon as Dai Zong finished speaking, Lu Junyi went to find Yang Chang to confirm.
"Brother Yang, do you know the location?"
"Well, it's about ten miles northwest of us."
“Just knowing the location is good.”
Seeing the direction Yang Chang pointed, Lu Junyi immediately clasped his fists and responded to Dai Zong, "We don't have any extra horses. Please report back to Dean Dai."
"Just follow your orders. Brother Gongming will contact you later. I have to go back to Liangshan. Everyone, take care. Goodbye!"
After Dai Zong hastily gave his instructions, he used his magical powers to fly away as fast as the wind.
Yan Qing looked at the receding figure, pinched his chin and muttered to himself: "Since you have the upper hand, why do you want to go back to Liangshan? Do you want more troops?"
"He didn't say anything, so don't guess. Get to the garrison as soon as possible. Brother Yang, please lead the way."
"As it should be."
Yang Chang nodded to Lu Junyi, then got on his horse and moved forward again. At this time, he was also thinking about Dai Zong's intention to leave. He remembered that Zengtou City could be taken in the second time, so why go to Liangshan now?
He knew the main plot, but not the details.
Zengtou City knew it was no match for the enemy and had already asked for help from surrounding counties and cities. Song Jiang continued to mobilize troops in order to repel the reinforcements.
In addition, although the Liangshan side killed Zeng Tu two days ago, Qin Ming was injured in the battle against Shi Wengong. Shi Wengong showed exaggerated combat power, which surprised all the generals. Song Jiang also needed to send more generals who could stabilize the situation.
Lu Junyi led his troops to stay in Liulin for five or six days. During the journey, he sent Yan Qing twice to ask Song Jiang for instructions. The reply he got was always to let them wait for a while and they would notify him with a signal cannon if necessary.
By the late night of February 19th, the sky was covered with thin clouds.
The moonlight is hazy and the stars are dim.
After the third watch, Yan Qing saw the fire in Zengtou City and immediately guessed that Song Jiang had started to take action. He urged Lu Junyi and said, "Master, Brother Gongming has been planning for days, but seeing the fire is so fierce tonight, I think this is the day to defeat the enemy. Should we go up to them?"
"It's better to keep our troops in place until we hear the signal cannon." Lu Junyi hesitated and decided not to overstep the line.
As a guest general, Yang Chang was not in a position to persuade him, but he was anxious in his heart. He hesitated that there was a time limit for picking up corpses, and he didn't know how many drops he would miss. He just hoped that Shi Wengong would fall into the trap. If he couldn't pick up the small one, he could only wait for the big one.
When it was dawn, there was a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds coming from the northeast, heading straight towards the willow forest.
Shi Wengong?
Yang Chang was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that the plot of the original novel was true. He hurriedly led his horse to block the main road. Lu Junyi was afraid that he would get into trouble, so he sent Yan Qing to accompany him, while he took half of the men to go around behind.
Shi Wengong fought all night, and finally when he saw that the situation was hopeless, he rushed out from the west gate of Zengtou City.
It was dark at the time and he fought his way out of the encirclement but lost his direction, so he let his good horse lead the way, and ended up running into Lu Junyi's "arms".
When the horse reached the middle of the willow forest, Shi Wengong instinctively sensed danger.
I saw a general holding a stick and hitting me in the fog ahead.
He hurriedly tried to block it with his Fang Tian Hua Ji, but found that the falling stick was actually a spear, and the person wielding the spear was his old acquaintance Yang Chang.
"It's you?"
"Shi Wengong, your death is approaching!"
"Just you? Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
When Shi Wengong heard the unusual movements around him, he knew that they were soldiers lying in ambush in the willow forest, so he used all his life's skills one after another.
Yang Chang was facing the enemy alone today, and was worried that Shi Wengong's moves were too powerful, so he used [Qi-Calming Prison Force] to seal his strength first. However, he didn't know that this guy's greatest reliance was his skills. He used the Fang Tian Hua Ji in unpredictable ways, making it difficult for Yang Chang to respond.
The fight had lasted less than five rounds, and Shi Wengong was afraid that it would be difficult to escape and did not want to continue the fight, so he took advantage of the gap when Yang Chang was struggling to resist the attack and picked up his painted halberd to chop at the front hooves of his horse.
Yang Chang's mount was originally an ordinary horse, how could it withstand such a powerful blow? The horse with a broken leg fell to the side in pain, and Yang Chang on the horse was like a cart overturned, and the whole person instantly became shaky.
Fortunately, Shi Wengong only wanted to escape at that time and did not kill Yang Chang in time, and Yang also jumped off his horse to dodge when he fell.
Of course, Shi Wengong had no chance to finish off the opponent, as Yan Qing was right next to Yang Chang to support him.
When Yan Qing saw Shi Wengong using a dirty trick to chop the horse's hooves, he shouted and led his soldiers to rush over, while he himself jumped into the air with a long stick and chopped.
Bang.
The force of the Fang Tian Hua Ji swept across the top of the stick, directly knocking the jumping Yan Qing away for more than a meter, and then smashed onto the soldier behind him. Shi Wengong saw that the road ahead was blocked, so he immediately turned his horse and galloped back. Now the one who blocked his way was Lu Junyi.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
"You are crazy. Have you heard of Hebei Jade Unicorn?"
"I've heard of your mother!"
"Every man is looking for death!"
Shi Wengong was confident that his divine horse was as fast as lightning, so he held up his Fang Tian Hua Ji and stabbed it straight into the opponent's heart.
If Lu Junyi used his gun to block, the flaw would be huge, which would create an opportunity for Shi Wengong to strike a second time. If the flaw was small, he would just run away.
Shi Wengong's idea was good, but who was Lu Junyi? He was known to be invincible with spears and sticks, so how could he be easily defeated by such a trick?
Seeing that the opponent was coming at him so quickly, Lu Junyi had no intention of taking the attack directly, nor did he intend to let Shi Wengong escape.
The moment the Fang Tian Hua Ji stabbed towards him, Lu Junyi dodged by leaning to the right, and the spear in his hand rushed forward like lightning and a dragon, piercing Shi Wengong's thigh steadily and accurately.
"what!"
Shi Wengong rolled on the ground three times. His desire to survive made him get up despite the pain. Unfortunately, he was pinned to the ground by Yang Chang who came rushing over. He couldn't break free at all due to his exaggerated strength.
When Yan Qing saw that Yang Chang had taken all the credit, he couldn't help but look at Lu Junyi for instructions.
"Master? This."
"He was tied up."
"Yes."
Lu Junyi knocked Shi Wengong off his horse, with dozens of eyes watching him. He was not afraid of having the credit taken away from him. Yang Chang himself did not want to compete for the credit, he just helped to keep the man, hoping to prevent him from escaping.
After Yang Chang stood up, he glanced at his disabled mount, then looked at the reins in Yan Qing's hand and said, "Brother Gongming asked me to clean up the battlefield, but my yellow horse is disabled. Can Brother Xiaoyi..."
"Since it's the mount of Village Master Song, it's okay to let Brother Yang go and offer his victory."
Lu Junyi acted quite open-minded, thinking that since it was rare for you to accompany us all the way, you should at least get some credit.
Yang Chang took the reins from Yan Qing, discarded his spear and picked up the Fang Tian Hua Ji before leaving, bringing his "favorite" weapon with him in advance so that it would be easier to explain when he met outsiders later.
The first time Yang Chang rode on the Thousand-Mile Horse, the Jade Lion of Zhaoye was a little uncooperative and almost threw him off the horse several times, but he got used to it after riding for a while.
[Gain riding experience. Use it to improve your riding skill proficiency. Please choose to use or discard.]
[Gain sword experience. Use it to improve your sword skill proficiency. Please choose to use or discard. ]
[Gain gun and stick experience. Use it to improve your gun and stick skill proficiency. Please choose to use or discard.]
[Gain riding experience. Use it to improve your riding skill proficiency. Please choose to use or discard.]
[Gain hunter experience. Use it to improve hunter skill proficiency. Please choose to use or discard.]
Thanks to the Jade Lion of Zhaoye, Yang Chang was able to save time in picking up corpses.
Although most of the drops had expired, Yang was still able to pick up about 200 corpses as rewards due to his hard work.
This time the drops have a very strange feature, that is, the most dropped is riding experience, followed by hunter experience, and then various weapon experiences.
Could it be because the Zeng family was a Jin people? The main thing they practiced was archery and horse riding.
After Yang Chang finished his work, he checked the attributes. None of his weapon skills were improved, but as expected, there were changes in his life skills.
As expected, the hunter was promoted to the expert level, and the riding skill was promoted to the master level.
A master rider can tame any wild horse, and has a special influence on divine horses.
Yang Chang didn't look closely at the time and hurried to Dazhai in Zengtou City.
At that time, Yan Qing had already taken Shi Wengong to report his victory. Song Jiang and Wu Yong felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly. Who could have thought that this guy would run and fall into Lu Junyi's arms under heavy siege.
What about Chao Gai's oath? It would be better to let Shi Wengong run away.
"咴咴."
"call"
Hearing the noise outside the tent, all the leaders rushed out to check.
Yang Chang was seen holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji and riding a Zhao Ye Jade Lion, looking radiant.
Seeing this, Yan Qing hurriedly reminded: "Brother Gongming, Brother Yang San finally brought your mount. Why don't you go up and try it?"
"Yes, please come in, Brother Gongming."
After Yang Chang fell off his horse, he handed the reins to others.
In full view of everyone, Song Jiang took the reins from Yang Chang with a smile and showed off to others with a little pride.
"Then I'll give it a try?"
"What are you trying to say? It's my brother's mount. Hurry up."
"You iron bull."
Song Jiang looked at the tall horse and cursed Li Kui for being speechless. He grabbed the saddle and with the help of Yang Chang, he finally sat on the back of the Zhaoye Jade Lion.
"Good horse, it is indeed a good horse. Harness it. Harness it. If you don't drive it well, it will capsize."
"Brother, be careful!"
"Brother Gongming!"
Song Jiang's joy turned into sorrow just as he started, as the divine horse threw him off its back, leaving him lying on the ground with a mouthful of dirt on his black face.
The Jade Lion of Zhaoye ran a circle, then returned to Yang Chang and stopped, leaving all the heroes bewildered.
Lu Junyi and Yan Qing looked at each other and wondered what Yang Chang had done to it?
The newly transferred Hu Yanzhuo did not have time to help Song Jiang. He stared at Yang Chang for a long time, and finally stepped forward and stretched out his right hand.
"Isn't this horse tamed? Why is it suddenly out of control? Let me give it a try?"
"Uh, I don't know, of course."
Yang Chang was startled when he heard this, thinking that this is not my mount, and immediately handed over the reins.
Although Hu Yanzhuo was full of confidence, he also overestimated his riding skills because the Zhaoye Jade Lion had already recognized its master.
