On the snow, Si Hu's roaring sounds were heard again and again. Dozens of black shadows on horseback, taking advantage of Si Hu's inability to pay attention, cunningly waved their long swords and slashed down coldly, splattering out streaks of blood from time to time.
beads.
Even before the horseman arrived, Xu Mu could see him with eyes splitting from a distance.
"Wei Feng, kill all these bastards who are trying to destroy the village!"
Hearing Xu Mu's words, Wei Feng also looked furious. He waved the long sword in his hand and led hundreds of riders behind him. He didn't care about the deep forest and the narrow road, and came to kill them desperately.
"Brother Tiger, take the knife!"
Si Hu angrily slapped the figure, knocking him down. Then he turned around, took the cleaver, and rushed towards Duan Chou hiding in the corner with blood all over his body.
Duanchou's eyes bulged, and he clenched the double-edged ax in his hand urgently. He had been famous in the inner city for thirteen years, but to be honest, he couldn't see through the path of the giant man in front of him.
According to common sense, even the other five masters would not be able to withstand dozens of riders fighting in the wind and snow. The best result would be to retreat and escape. But the giant man in front of him, this damn man not only withstood
, and now he is still alive and kicking, holding the knife and killing him.
"Say it again, what's your name?"
"The surname Duan has a single character Chou, and he is known as Duan Axe." Duan Chou gritted his teeth and said, "Village man, tell me what your name is."
"I'll cut your head off!"
Duan Chou's face immediately turned red, and he dragged his double-edged ax. He just wanted to kill one round to establish his power, and then find a way to escape.
Unexpectedly, the giant man in front of him moved too fast, and in the blink of an eye, he swung the knife and struck in front of his eyes.
clang.
In the dark night, there are sparks dancing.
Duan Chou, who raised the axe, felt his hands feel heavy for a moment, and he coughed twice.
"You are also a big man, taller than me, but you have such a useful strength. How about you put on a red robe and work as a flower girl in the Qing Palace?"
"Shut up!" Duan Chou was furious. After swinging his cleavage saber, he twirled a double-edged ax with one hand and slashed horizontally at Si Hu's abdomen.
The splitting saber returned its blade and stood firmly in front of the double-edged axe.
"Tell me how strong you are!" Si Hu bulged his eyes and refused to retreat.
Duan Chou looked coldly and did not answer, and the mouths of his hands were split open by the shock. He has been famous for thirteen years and has been running rampant in the inner city for many years. God knows how such a village guy appeared with terrifying strength.
His footsteps fell back, Duan Chou squinted his eyes and turned back to the axe, pretending to run forward. The double-edged ax fell to the ground, leaving a deep ravine.
Si Hu ran up and took two steps after him.
"Break!"
Duan Chou suddenly struck back, the huge double-edged ax shone with cold light, and struck down Si Hu in a sudden blow, hitting Si Hu on the head as he ran towards him.
In the cold wind, Duan Chou opened his eyes in excitement, thinking that the giant man who was caught off guard would definitely be chopped in two by an axe.
Bang.
In the blink of an eye, Duan Chou in mid-air was stunned and flew out again in disbelief. Vaguely, he only saw the giant man, who just hurriedly raised the scabbard.
This doesn't even make sense.
Struggling to get up from the ground, Duan Chou cursed twice, immediately blew the whistle, called back the figures of the second and third riders, grabbed a horse, and quickly fled towards the official road without thinking about it anymore.
Si Hu braved the wind and snow and chased for seven or eight miles, then he held the knife in frustration and walked back again.
In front of Horseshoe Lake.
The dozens of riding masters brought by Duan Chou were completely wiped out by Xujiazhuang's fury.
Xu Mu walked forward in silence, picked off a dead horse, and the heads of two or three people were killed. These people were villagers who were patrolling the path. They had no time to return to the village to make an announcement, so they were killed by the leader.
"Master, whose people are these?"
Xu Mu shook his head. There were too many people in the inner city who wanted to kill him.
"Brother Tiger is back."
On the snowy road, Si Hu was holding a chopping knife, and his whole body was covered in blood. He was so close that he made a rare sound and shouted at Xu Mu coquettishly.
"Brother Mu, my body hurts."
Xu Mu's chest felt tight and he whistled hastily. General Feng galloped forward, then bent his horse's knees, carried Si Hu on the horse's back, and ran slowly towards the village.
…
"That person is Broken Axe?"
"The surname is Duan, the full name is Duan Chou."
"I was indeed born ugly. I gave you eight days to practice unparalleled martial arts——"
A child who was rubbing his nose was grabbed by his arm and dragged down the stairs by his mother.
Zhuge Fan turned his head and shouted excitedly.
"Good luck to the puppy. The dead branches on the north side of Zhuangzi are stronger. Don't spank the butt, spank the calf. If you spank the leg first, he won't be able to run away."
Xu Mu looked speechless.
Zhuge Fan coughed and sat down again.
"That's right, he is the traitor called Broken Axe. Boy, you are in big trouble."
Xu Mu frowned.
Because of Yuan Tao's relationship, he has now surfaced, and the two closest marquises are bumping heads and preparing to decide the country.
One can imagine.
"Boy, it's time to think of something."
Xu Mu nodded, hesitated for a while, then turned and walked down the balcony. He walked around several wooden houses until he reached the innermost one. Xu Mu knocked on the door and then slowly opened it.
In the room, Jia Zhou was lying on the wooden table, carefully writing down the account books. When he saw Xu Mu entering the room, he slowly put down his brush and placed it on the inkstone.
"Lord." He stood up, raised his hands and bowed seriously.
"Mr. Wenlong, please take a seat."
After taking a deep breath, Xu Mu was sitting on a chair, pouring himself a cup of hot tea.
"My lord, could it be that we are playing against the dealer tonight?"
"Mr. Wenlong also knows?" Xu Mu was startled. He originally thought that Jia Zhou had probably gone to bed early.
"I heard the sound of killing, but I knew that Zhuangzi should be fine, so I didn't go out."
"The person who came tonight is the traitorous person in the court."
Jia Zhou paused slightly and tapped his fingers on the wooden table. After a long time, he slightly raised his face.
"My lord, what do you want to choose? Continue to stay in the inner city to make wine, or leave the inner city to take advantage of the situation."
Xu Mu looked silent.
From the border pass to Tangjiang City, and from Tangjiang City to Horseshoe Lake, we finally had some peace and stability.
"As I said before, please invite your lord to come to Shuzhou." Jia Zhou said with a calm expression, "It is not my lord's fault that the great era is in turmoil. There is no need for my lord to continue to stay in the inner city."
"The Tiger Talisman of eight thousand people, the private soldiers of one thousand people are notarized, and the refugees are gathered along the way. I only made a rough calculation. When we entered Shuzhou, there were about 15,000 soldiers and horses."
"There are not many soldiers and horses, but it is enough for the lord to find a place to stay, accumulate food and make weapons, recruit soldiers, sit back and watch the world's events, and once he leaves Shu, he will compete in thirty states."
"Lord, the Great Ji Dynasty is about to collapse."
Xu Mu didn't know that guarding a small village in Matihu Lake was of little significance. I thought back to the time when he started from a small horse farm in Sitong Road, wandering around and relying on killing lists to get such a piece of land.
At that time, the villagers who entered Ma Ti Lake, even if they were joined by gangsters like Hei Fu, were only a few dozen people.
"Mr. Wenlong, do you have a strategy for entering Shuzhou? In addition, the king of Shuzhou will definitely not allow foreign troops to enter Shuzhou."
Shuzhou, Liangzhou, and Yanzhou in the northeast are not completely controlled by Daji. In the final analysis, they are more like vassal states.
Inexplicably, Xu Mu suddenly thought of Liu Wu, the enthusiastic horse dealer from Shuzhou.
"My lord is wrong." Jia Zhou smiled slightly, "Today's Shuzhou is divided into four parts. There are three kings of Shuzhou alone."
"I think this is just the opportunity for my lord."
