The four generals Lu Yue, Wei Hu, Shang Shitu and Ji Fa who were besieging Jia Fu, as well as Shi Jingsi and Shi Jiantang who were besieging Yue Yun and Pei Yuanqing, were all shocked when they received the order to retreat.
They were on the battlefield and did not know the specific situation. From their perspective, they even thought that the Tang army was about to win.
But Li Shimin ordered the withdrawal of troops at this time. This was obviously wrong. Apart from losing this battle, there was probably no other possibility.
The military order had been issued, and they had to obey the order, so they all chose to retreat. After all, if they didn't escape, they might not be able to escape.
Seeing this, Jia Fu didn't care about anyone else. He stared at Lu Yue alone and chased after him.
In his opinion, it didn't matter whether the others escaped or not, except for Lu Yue, who was good at epidemic poisons. Once he was allowed to escape, there would be endless consequences, so he only focused on Lu Yue.
Yue Yun and Huang Tianhua, who were about to lose their strength, not only saved their lives because of the active evacuation of the Tang troops, but also endured their injuries and exhaustion to pursue and kill the Tang generals who had just besieged them.
In the past, Pei Yuanqing and other Qin generals had been bullied and beaten by the Tang army, and they felt more or less aggrieved.
Now that the situation has reversed, if we don’t take revenge now, then when will we wait?
The injured Kang Junli was knocked off his horse with a hammer after being caught up by Pei Yuanqing, and was seriously injured and captured.
Guo Chongtao was also beaten to death by Pei Yuanqing with a fire dragon mark, and was thrown off his horse and captured.
Shi Jingsi Shi Jiantang and his son had bad luck. They fled on the same route as Lu Yue, but they met Jia Fu who was chasing Lu Yue.
In order to protect his son Shi Jiantang's escape, Shi Jingsi went to resist Jia Fu alone. This move also moved Jia Fu, so he did not give Shi Jingsi any trouble, but just knocked him out and captured him alive.
After Jia Fu captured Shi Jingsi alive, he did not pursue Shi Jiantang, but continued to pursue Lu Yue. After all, in his opinion, even a hundred Shi Jiantangs were not as big a threat as one Lu Yue.
In addition to Kang Junli, Guo Chongtao and Shi Jingsi, Xingli was also lucky enough to be captured alive by the Qin army.
Originally, Xin Li was injured by Jia Fu, and he happened to bump into Pei Yuanqing and Huang Tianhua on the way to escape. After a struggle, he was eventually defeated and captured, but he also bought a lot of time for the other Tang generals.
Although the Tang army in charge of cutting off the rear was large in number, but with the entire front defeated, and Li Shimin's middle army and Yu Wentai's rear army withdrawing from the battlefield, all the pressure fell on Changsun Wuji, who was in charge of cutting off the rear.
He had to resist both Wen Zhong and Wang Jian, who were pressing every step of the way. One can imagine the pressure involved.
Even Li Shimin couldn't bear it, let alone Changsun Wuji, and the arrival of Bei Mihu became the last straw that broke his back.
Under the pincer attack of Wang Jian, Wen Zhong, and Bismarck, the more than 10,000-strong army led by Changsun Wuji was defeated and completely catastrophic.
"Uncle Wen Zhong, we are from the same sect. Please, don't kill me."
Li Ping knelt in front of Wen Zhong, his nose was full of tears, and he kept crying. He had no backbone of a disciple of a great religion.
Just before, Wen Zhong caught up and killed Ji Shusheng, a disciple of the Yuqing sect. He broke Nangong Shi's breastplate with a whip and sent him flying on his horse. Then he beat his junior brother to death in front of him.
Chen Geng's head.
After Chen Geng's tragic death, Li Ping completely collapsed and could no longer resist. He knelt down on the battlefield and begged for mercy. He really had no sense of shame in order to survive.
What Li Ping didn't know was that if he had surrendered directly, Wen Zhong might have spared his life, but his ugly behavior only encouraged Wen Zhong's murderous intentions, and he felt that Li Ping was losing face to the Qing Dynasty.
"Be a good person in your next life." Wen Zhong said with a cold face.
Li Ping was startled. He didn't expect that Wen Zhong would not let him go even after he begged for mercy. He was so frightened that he rolled around and wanted to stay away from Wen Zhong, but he couldn't escape.
"No, don't come over."
bump……
Wen Zhong whipped down, Li Ping's head was blown open, and blood was everywhere.
Wen Zhong wiped away the blood on his face and was about to leave when he found Nangong Shi who had fallen to the ground not far away and was still breathing, so he walked over to prepare for a last strike.
Wen Zhong raised his iron whip and was about to smash it down. It could be seen that Nangong Shi's life was hanging by a thread, but he still glared at him with his head raised, and the murderous intention in his heart was inexplicably less.
"That's it, come here, tie this guy up." Wen Zhong shouted and ordered.
"promise."
Two soldiers stepped forward and quickly turned Nangong Shi into rice dumplings.
Since then, among the twelve elite disciples of the three religions who participated in the siege of Wen Zhong, except for Nangong Shi, who was captured alive, the rest were all killed by Wen Zhong, including three outer disciples of the Shangqing Sect.
"By the way, there is also Lu Yue."
Wen Zhong suddenly remembered that there was still a serious problem like Lu Yue that had not yet been solved.
Just like Jia Fu thought, Wen Zhong also felt that Lu Yue, who was good at epidemic poisons, was too much of a threat. Since he had chosen to be the enemy of Da Qin, Lu Yue must not be allowed to escape.
Wen Zhong didn't know that Jia Fu was in Wang Jian's army, so he felt that Wang Jian's army must have paid a heavy price in facing Lu Yue.
But now that Li Tang's army has withdrawn, Lu Yue will definitely follow him. Pei Yuanqing and Huang Tianhua will definitely not be able to keep Lu Yue behind. He must deal with Lu Yue personally.
Wen Zhong wanted to escape, but he couldn't abandon the army and leave by himself. Wang Jian had already led the army to kill him, so he could completely hand over the command of the army to Wang Jian.
After hearing a few words from Deputy General Zhongchong and returning the military power to Wang Jian, he left the army and went to pursue Lu Yue.
On the other side, Li Cunxiao from Bismarck's army rode into Changsun Wuji's army alone, captured Changsun Wuji alive and returned, making Changsun Wuji a prisoner of war of the Qin Dynasty for the second time.
After capturing Changsun Wuji alive, Li Cunxiao also went after Lu Yue.
From Bismarck, Li Cunxiao had already learned that among Great Qin's opponents in this battle, in addition to the two disciples of the Taiqing and Yuqing sects, there were actually many outer disciples of the Shangqing sect.
Li Cunxiao was a close disciple of the Shangqing Taoist priests and had no friendship with the outer sect of the Qing Dynasty.
When he learned that Shen Gongbao, Lu Yue and other outer sect disciples dared to ignore their master and openly become enemies of the Qin Dynasty, Li Cunxiao was instantly angry. After all, where would this move put them, the inner sect disciples, and the Shangqing sect?
So there's nothing more to say, just go ahead and clean up the portal.
Li Cunxiao didn't know that Lu Yue had run in a certain direction. It was obviously not an easy task to find someone in the chaos, otherwise he would not have chased Zhao She before.
Bismarck said that Changsun Wuji might know, so Li Cunxiao went to question Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji was very stubborn and refused to say anything no matter how hard Li Cunxiao pressed him. He looked like he wanted to die. However, under the guidance of Bismarck, his position was still exposed unconsciously, so Li Cunxiao also joined the ranks of chasing Lu Yue.
middle.
Lu Yue, who was on the run, felt aggrieved in his heart.
Damn it, Jia Fu didn't chase anyone, he just stared at him.
Pindao has any deep grudge against you. Is it necessary to pursue him so closely?
Lu Yue did not realize at all the threat his ability to spread plague posed to the country, nor the bureaucrats' fear of this ability.
Plague is something that all forces cannot avoid.
Even if Lu Yue can escape today, he will face endless pursuit in the future. It is impossible for Da Qin to let him go. In order to eliminate this threat, more than one grand master will even be dispatched.
Therefore, from the moment he stood on the opposite side of Da Qin, Lu Yue's fate was already doomed. He had the ability to threaten Da Qin, but he did not have the strength to protect himself, and he did not know how to live and die. So naturally there was only one way to die.
At this time, Lu Yue felt regretful in his heart. He did not regret being an enemy of Da Qin, but he regretted listening to Shen Gongbao's words and coming to Guanzhong to wade in the troubled waters.
If he had gone directly to the Song Dynasty and not come to Guanzhong to wade through the muddy waters, he would have already been enjoying the glory and wealth. How could he be chased and killed?
At first, only Jia Fu was chasing him, but later Wen Zhong also joined in. The two of them chased him together. Lu Yue was so incompetent that he was chasing him. Even if he escaped from the battlefield, he still couldn't get rid of the two.
people.
"Jia Fu, what is the deep hatred between us that you keep chasing me?
And Junior Brother Wen Zhong, we are all disciples of the Shangqing Dynasty, why should relatives hate others and enemies should be happy?
I really already know that I was wrong, why don't you just let me go.
I, Lu Yue, hereby swear an oath that as long as you let me go, I promise that I will never become an enemy of Da Qin. If I violate this oath, I will strike with five thunders from heaven."
While running for his life, Lu Yue swore solemnly, hoping to dispel the two men's murderous intentions, but in his heart he was thinking that once he escaped, he would definitely spread the plague in Daqin to avenge the two men who were chasing them today.
.
Jia Fu is not a child, so it is naturally impossible for him to believe Lu Yue's experiment. Regardless of whether it is true or false, even if it is true, he will still not let Lu Yue go.
Regardless of whether Lu Yue is good or bad, since he has the ability to threaten Da Qin, this is his original sin that deserves death.
Jia Fu sneered and said: "Lu Yue, you are really brainless, I am too lazy to talk nonsense with you.
If you dismount and surrender immediately, I can still spare your life and let you spend your remaining years in a prison.
If you dare to resist stubbornly, you will be killed on the spot."
Wen Zhong nodded and shouted: "Lu Yue, you won't be able to escape at this time, please get off your horse and surrender quickly."
After hearing what the two said, Lu Yue didn't dare to dismount.
He came out to enjoy the glory and wealth, but if he didn't want to lose his freedom and be imprisoned in a prison for the rest of his life, it would be better for him to die directly.
Lu Yuetou did not know how to run as fast as he could. He did not flee towards Chang'an because he thought it was not safe there, so the direction he fled to was Ziwu Valley, and he planned to escape from Guanzhong directly from there.
The three of them chased each other and fled for hundreds of miles, but still no one could do anything to anyone.
Just when Lu Yue thought he could successfully escape into Ziwu Valley.
call out……
A stream of light flashed through, directly piercing the war horse under Lu Yue's crotch. Under the inertia, his whole body was knocked to the ground.
Li Cunxiao, dressed in brocade clothes and with his face covered by a scarf, rushed over on horseback. After picking up the Qingping Sword from the ground, he and Wen Zhongjia Fu blocked Lu Yue's retreat.
"Qingping Sword?"
After seeing the sword in Li Cunxiao's hand, Lu Yue suddenly screamed and said with a look of horror: "Are you Li Cunxiao? I didn't expect that you are here too?"
"I didn't expect that the first time I saw a senior from the outer sect, I would have to kill him." Li Cunxiao said expressionlessly.
After hearing this, Lu Yue also felt Li Cunxiao's murderous intention, and his face was full of despair.
The combat power of the three people in front of him was all superior to his, and they could kill him in a head-on battle, but they put down their dignity and chased him down.
How could he, Lu Yue, be so virtuous that he should be treated like this by these three people?
"Don't bully others too much. If you really push the poor man into a hurry, he may die with you."
Lu Yue shouted fiercely, but Li Cunxiao sneered: "Junior brother, I want to see how you can die with me, senior brother."
"Jun Wen, don't take action, give me Lao Li some face, I want to clean up the sect." Li Cunxiao shouted to Jia Fu.
Although Jia Fu was a little unhappy about Li Cunxiao snatching his head, Li Cunxiao said he wanted to clean up the family, so he naturally couldn't take action again. He could only shrug his shoulders and said: "Hurry up, don't overturn the situation."
."
"Don't worry."
After saying this, Li Cunxiao looked at Wen Zhong again.
Li Cunxiao did not know Wen Zhong, but Wen Zhong knew Li Cunxiao.
Wen Zhong did not recognize Li Cunxiao and nodded at him, saying that he would not interfere in the matter.
Seeing this, Li Cunxiao was very determined. After dismounting, he planted the Qisha Bawangqi on the ground and ran towards Lu Yue with the Qingping Sword in hand.
Immediately afterwards, the long sword in his hand flashed with light, and the sword transformed into thousands. What he used was the Juexian Sword Jue.
Lu Yue was frightened out of his wits. He was so afraid that he didn't want to fight Li Cunxiao at all, but his retreat was blocked by Jia Fu and Wen Zhong, so he had to bite the bullet and fight.
Although Li Cunxiao didn't have much internal strength left, his physical strength and martial arts alone were still enough to suppress Lu Yue, who had a basic martial arts of 107, not to mention that Lu Yue was timid before fighting and could not exert his full combat power.
As soon as they fought, Lu Yue was suppressed by Li Cunxiao. He was already at a disadvantage in less than thirty moves. When he reached eighty moves, he was hit with several swords in a row. At the hundredth move, he was stabbed by Li Cunxiao with a sword.
Forearm.
"ah……"
Lu Yue wailed in pain and had to let go of the force in his hand, and was immediately kicked away by Li Cunxiao.
Li Cunxiao approached step by step. After Lu Yue struggled to get up, he looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Junior brother, you are still too young to realize that you have been poisoned by me. Let me go and I will give you the antidote, otherwise we will all perish together."
[Ding dong, Lu Yue's skill 'God of Plague' has effect 3 activated. Once the opponent is poisoned by his own poison, the force will be reduced by 5 to 15 points. If the poison is not removed clearly, permanent damage may be left and the force will be permanently reduced by 1 to 3 points.
point.
Currently reducing Li Cunxiao...]
[Ding dong, Li Cunxiao’s skill Taibao (modified) is activated with effect 1, ignoring all negative skill effects, and activation of Lu Yue’s skill ‘God of Plague’ is invalid. 】
After hearing Lu Yue's words, Li Cunxiao stretched out his palm and spread it flat, and the air flow hovered in his palm.
When Lu Yue saw this, he sneered and said, "You dare to practice martial arts after being poisoned by me. You are seeking death." But then his expression changed drastically.
"You're not poisoned? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, it was clear just now..."
"After I have mastered my external skills, my body will be indestructible and indestructible to all poisons. Your poison will be of no use to me."
Li Cunxiao said with an indifferent expression something that seemed impossible to Lu Yue.
His strongest poison skills were useless, and Lu Yue, who was extremely desperate, had a look of madness in his eyes and roared: "You go too far to bully others, I will die with you."
Seeing Lu Yue charging toward him with a fist, Li Cunxiao returned his sword to its sheath, then punched him forward. He ignored the opponent's slap and punched Lu Yue directly in the chest.
Boom, bang...
Li Cunxiao punched directly through Lu Yue's chest, but Lu Yue's palm with all his strength only shattered Li Cunxiao's shirt and made a banging sound, like hitting metal.
