Yumen Mountain has thousands of peaks, and there are always beacons in the north and south of the mountain.
A man garrisoning at a distance must watch the fire, but a horse tramples deep into the mountains and disappears.
——"Seven Poems on the Military March" by Wang Changling (Tang Dynasty)
…
Amid the uneasiness of the generals, Bai Fu finally woke up after three days. Although his brows were slightly tired, he was still in good spirits.
Everyone was overjoyed, and after some pleasantries, Lone Wolf explained in detail how the leader of the Flower Sect of the Five Poison Sect came to the rescue.
Bai Fu was filled with emotion and said: "It is true as she said, she saved me twice. There is no way to repay a great kindness. Next time we meet, I will definitely treat her to a nice drink."
Hearing that Master Hua had found a good home, Bai Fu was very happy and said: "That prudent middle-aged man is his husband-in-law? Are they still from the same sect? It's great.
Although she is the leader of the Poison Sect and is more aggressive than us Han people, she is actually a very kind girl..."
After talking about the Five Immortals Sect and returning to the situation on the day of the assassination, Bai Fu asked: "I fell into Fusang's assassin's trap that day. General Feng Teng's son was an assassin in disguise. So where is Feng Jian now?"
Yuchi Huqi sighed: "Feng Jian's body was found in a dry well in the back mountain. The body had rotted and the skin was peeled off. It was probably made into a human skin mask. The assassin used it to disguise himself as Feng Jian.
General Feng sent his white-haired man to his black-haired man. He was so sad that he has been bedridden for the past few days."
Bai Fu's eyes flashed with anger and he said: "Write down this account and settle the matter with the Japanese pirates in the future. Are there any survivors among the men in black?"
Lone Wolf shook his head and said: "There are no survivors. The Fusang soldiers were really ruthless. Those who could not escape all committed suicide by caesarean section."
The most regrettable thing is that Sarutobi Sun and Moon escaped. You spent so much effort and were about to behead him, but at the last moment you failed."
Bai Fu smiled and said: "Sarutobi Sun and Moon are nothing to worry about. He was defeated twice in my hands and has already left a knot in his heart. Although his martial arts are domineering, his swordsmanship is off-center and his Taoist heart is not solid.
These two failures were enough to cause cracks in the pot of his heart, making it difficult to gain a glimpse of the ultimate realm of swordsmanship.
The next time I encounter him, it will be easy for me to take his life!
On the contrary, the assassin who assassinated me was a person who was inconspicuous, had many interlocking plans, and only revealed his killing move at the last moment. This person was truly difficult to deal with.
Has her origin been found out?"
Lone Wolf said: "The female assassin should be Fuso Yinhe Ninja. If my eyesight is correct, she is the person who lurked on the nearby lone boat when we were moored at Fengqiao that night, trying to assassinate you.
But that assassination was destroyed by Fu Hu's descendant, that is, the Goguryeo.
If this woman is not eliminated, the consequences will be endless."
Bai Fu nodded, thoughtfully.
Bai Fu had just woken up, but his body had not yet fully recovered. After everyone chatted for a while, they all left, allowing Bai Fu to continue to rest.
…
Bai Fu took good care of himself according to the healing methods left by Master Hua. Five days later, he finally recovered.
Early that morning, Bai Fu found Lone Wolf and went to the courtyard together to stretch his muscles.
Baifu Zhenqi travels throughout the body,
When Kanding's true energy condenses into his left arm, dark blue tortoiseshell scales appear on his left arm.
Lone Wolf slashed with his sword. Bai Fu's left arm was as hard as iron, like a strong and strong shield. With a loud "dang" sound, Lone Wolf's sword was swung away in one fell swoop.
Lone Wolf was surprised and happy, and said: "Bailong, your left arm is like an iron shield, not afraid of swords and axes. I think it's better to call it 'Xuanwu Shield'!"
Bai Fu smiled and said: "'Xuanwu Shield'?! That's a good name, that's it.
Old Wolf, take three more moves from me and try my kicking skills!"
Bai Fu rose into the air and kicked out five consecutive kicks in the air. Each kick was as fast as lightning and thunderous. It was the phaseless divine kick among the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin.
When the lone wolf saw Bai Fu approaching fiercely, he suddenly became heroic, shouted loudly, and flew to meet him.
The lone wolf slashed horizontally with two swords, arousing the sharp energy from the blade tip.
Bai Fu's right leg was full of power, with red flames and unicorn spotted scales looming. He kicked out, and the red flames shot out from his body. Bai Fu kicked out his left and right legs in a row, kicking away the gang energy and breaking the Lone Wolf Saber Technique.
Lone Wolf quickly retreated to avoid Bai Fu's continuous attacks.
Bai Fu didn't even pull back his legs, he whipped his legs across, cracking monuments and rocks, and kicked a large horse bolt made of bluestone into two pieces.
The lone wolf was so frightened that he flew around and hid behind a large pine and cypress tree in the courtyard.
Bai Fu took advantage of the situation and went up. The Qi of the Xunding Cauldron poured into Qilin's right leg. The red flame reappeared and the wind assisted the fire.
Bai Fu jumped on the back of his feet and kicked out, causing the river to stop flowing, and the tree trunks as thick as a person's arms broke. The big tree with a roof like a pavilion fell to the ground with a terrible sound.
The lone wolf quickly raised his hands and surrendered, shouting loudly: "No fight, no fight, your unicorn legs are like possessed by a mythical beast, extremely ferocious, if you continue to fight, someone will die!"
Bai Fu burst out laughing and said happily: "Although the Tang Sect's warrior armor made of moon hooks is the most precious treasure in the world, it is not afraid of losing stone arrows, and it has many tricks, but after all, it is heavy and is only suitable for horse fighting.
But now, my left arm is like a shield, my right leg is like iron, black and white, and I have a unicorn by my side. Even among an army of ten thousand people, I can take the rank of general!"
…
The two of them came to the pavilion in the courtyard. The maid had been preparing for a long time, using a small red clay stove to boil water and make tea.
Bai Fu took the hot wet hand towel, gently applied it on his face, and sighed: "After a serious illness, it feels like a lifetime ago. Now, I feel happy and cherish the little things I enjoy."
Lone Wolf smiled and said: "Bailong, are you expressing your feelings?"
Bai Fu smiled faintly, put down his handkerchief, and his expression returned to his original state. Lone Wolf took a cup of tea and handed it to Bai Fu.
Bai Fu held hot tea in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said: "In the past two days, I connected the previous and later processes in series, reviewed them carefully, and found several clues that are thought-provoking:
First, our marching route and time were so secret that few people inside and outside the court knew about it. How could the Fuso soldiers have ambushed us so accurately if they had not known it in advance?
It can be seen that there must be a rebel traitor in the court, and his position is not low. Or perhaps, he is right next to His Majesty.
Secondly, the thief chief Shi Siming should reach a formal alliance with the Fusang Kingdom. That is why the Fusang Kingdom mobilized so many warriors and mobilized the whole country to deal with us.
If this is the case, we will definitely have a large-scale battle with them before we attack Fan Yang.
This was something that Mr. Li Mi did not expect when he planned Peng Yuan's countermeasures. When we previously estimated the strength of the rebels stationed in Fan Yang, we also missed this strange force from outside the territory.
Third, the opponent carefully planned the layout, and the chess games were interlocking, killing two birds with one stone.
The Fuso warriors are hiding here to ambush us and prevent us from leaving the fortress to attack Fan Yang. Once the ambush is successful, the Fuso warriors will occupy Yanmen Pass.
At that time, the rebels in the Yunzhou area will move south to attack the Hedong Army led by Wang Sili, the governor of Hedong.
Once Taiyuan Prefecture is lost, the rebels will be condescending, move down the Bishui River, and attack the Tang army in Heyang from behind; they may also cross the Yellow River from Pujin Pass, bypass Tongguan, and directly attack Chang'an.
It can be seen from this that among the rebels or Fusang people, there are experts with far-sighted plans, who are far superior to Yan Zhuang, Zhang Tongru and other counselors, and should not be underestimated.
Fourth, take this assassination as an example. The Fuso assassin deliberately planned to get rid of me.
The Tang army set up an ambush and surrounded Wengcheng. Hundreds of Fusang warriors died from missing arrows. The surprise attack plan had failed.
It stands to reason that when Fuso people see that we are well prepared, they should immediately stop the loss and terminate the action.
As a result, they took dozens of lives and even used Sarutobi Sun and Moon to force me to take action.
It would be best if Sarutobi Sun and Moon can beat me. If he can't win, then he will be the bait to take his life. The assassin is lurking in the crowd, waiting for the opportunity to strike.
They took the fake Feng Jian hostage and could have used him to threaten the guard general Feng Teng. But they would rather sacrifice hundreds of Fusang people in Wengcheng and take my life at all costs.
With his deep thoughts and vicious actions, he can be called the most dangerous enemy."
Lone Wolf recalled the situation that day and shuddered. If the leader of the Five Poison Sect had not arrived in time, Brother Bailong's life would have been sealed at Yanmen Pass.
Lone Wolf asked: "Bailong, what are your plans next?"
Bai Fu stood up and looked at the distant peaks, the beacons of the Great Wall, winding among the high mountains.
Bai Fu's eyes were stern, and he said slowly: "If you can't do something, you should seek others from yourself.
My master in the art of war warned me that there are also chess games besides the chessboard. Today I have learned the lesson.
In the last game, I was careless and careless. It was my fault that I had to fight hard. My life hangs by a thread, and I admit it!
learn from mistakes.
This game, if you want to plot against me, it’s not that easy!”
