Chapter 2150 Guizi Scroll Xue Xing Fights for the Front, Dong Ze Meets the Enemy

   "That is the Xiqi Palace. Back then, Jin Pinggong thought he could follow the example of his ancestor Jin Wengong Guild Alliance to dominate, so he built the Xiqi Palace here, but he didn't expect it to become a laughingstock instead."

  The carriage jolted the group a little uncomfortable, and the atmosphere was a little tense. Baoqin also noticed this, so she intentionally raised the topic so that everyone would not be too irritable and fearful.

After passing the Weishui River, but still able to see the situation along the Weishui River, Baoqin opened the curtains, pointed to a somewhat blurred distance in the distance and said: "Qiqi Palace, Tongda Palace, and Linggong Terrace are known as the Three Kingdoms of Jin. If the Grand Palace was built during Jin Wengong's time, it would be reasonable, but if Jin Pinggong built it, it would make the Fang family laugh."

"My sister really has a lot of knowledge. I only know a little bit about this kind of remote history, but I don't know the exact reason." Xing Xiuyan also helped to pick up the conversation, enlivening the atmosphere, "This Jindi is full of ancient sites. , then there is Dong Ze, right? It is said that Dong Ze gave birth to dragons, is there such a thing?"

  Xue Baoqin didn't expect Xing Xiuyan to be so familiar with the history of Jin, and raised his eyebrows in surprise, "It's just an ancient rumor that Dong Ze produced dragons, how can there really be dragons?"

"Sister, this Dong Ze is famous for its Huanlong Pond. According to legend, it is the land where Shun entrusted the Dong family to raise dragons. The willows grown around Dong Ze are all sacred objects. It is said that if Shun bestows the power of the gods, they can form a fence and the dragons will not come out. .” Xiuyan said with a smile.

There were six or seven people crowded in the carriage, besides the three daughters, there were also their personal maids, the Lingguan was just a young daughter and couldn't help asking: "Aunt Xing, do you think Dong Zeli really has a dragon now? Can Yangliu stop Long Fei for nine days?"

Xue Baoqin laughed, "Sister Xiuyan, I know that the quality of the willows produced by Dong Ze is very good. It is said that they can be used as arrows, but if it is said that Shun's divine power restrains the dragon, it is a falsehood. There are no dragons in the first place. How can it be said that the dragon is imprisoned and raised, and I have heard of the Huanlongchi, how can the ancient myths be taken seriously?"

The bickering between Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan immediately enlivened the atmosphere in the carriage. Before, everyone was a little uneasy, but now seeing that the grandmas were talking and laughing happily, without the slightest sign of fear, they calmed down. The two servants on the outer shaft of the carriage and the rough servants at the back of the carriage felt much more at ease.

"Get off the bus from here, thirty miles to the other side there is Tangshan, and there is Chengtang Temple on the mountain, which is quite magnificent, also known as Jingshan. It also produces strange things." Seeing Xing Xiuyan's extensive knowledge and knowledge, Xue Baoqin also raised a bit of fighting spirit, intending to test it again.

"My sister said, 'Looking at the salt dealer's marsh in the south and Shaoze in the north, there are many grasses and potatoes on it, and the grass is full of peppers; the yin is full of ocher, and the yang is full of jade. There are birds, which are shaped like snakes. It has four wings, six eyes, and three legs. It is called Suiyu, and it sings naturally. If you see it, you will be afraid.'?" Xing Xiuyan asked with a smile.

Xue Baoqin was startled, she didn't expect that Xing Xiuyan was so familiar with "Shan Hai Jing", such miscellaneous books are known by ordinary people, but only in a general way, and this Xing Xiuyan actually recited it casually, it is Lin Daiyu who reads extensively , I'm afraid I can't do it, right?

"I didn't expect my sister to know so much about miscellaneous books such as "Shan Hai Jing". Yes, it is the sourness that people are talking about. If people see it, there will be fearful things. But if they eat its meat, they will drink alcohol and not get drunk. If you can eat it, you won't have to worry about getting drunk." Xue Baoqin said with a smile.

   "Sister, I'm afraid this is the real myth, right? It's reasonable to say that seeing such a divine bird is unlucky, but it's just a rumor that you can eat its flesh without getting drunk." Xing Xiuyan shook her head repeatedly.

   "If you don't believe the "Shan Hai Jing", then Shun entrusted the Dong family to raise dragons, but you do believe it, so where does this rumor come from?" Xue Baoqin asked back.

"Sister, have you ever read "Zuo Zhuan"?" Xiuyan asked with a smile: "There is a record in "Zuo Zhuan: The Twenty-ninth Year of Zhao Gong". Woolen cloth."

  Although Xue Baoqin has read "Zuo Zhuan", he has not read it carefully. How can he remember it in such detail? But Xing Xiuyan dared to say that, there must be a reason for it. She was upset, but she couldn't show it. She was in a lively and relaxed atmosphere, and she became competitive. If she wanted to be unhappy, she would be inferior, so she had to laugh He said: "My younger sister is careful. Of course I have read "Zuo Zhuan", but I can't remember this passage."

   Seeing Xue Baoqin admitting his shortcomings, Xiuyan also admires the other party's grandeur. On this point, Xue Baoqin can not let Baochai.

  While the two girls in the car were bickering with each other, Duan Xipeng and Feng Jinchang anxiously urged the group to go south quickly and cross this increasingly dangerous section of road.

  The road ahead began to divert to the west, and Duan Xipeng knew that Dong Ze was approaching.

  Dong Ze is a land full of trees, and the smell of water can be smelled from afar.

Before coming here, Duan Xipeng asked, Dong Ze had a huge water area before the drought a few years ago, and it would take a day for a boat to go around it, but in recent years of continuous severe drought, the water surface has shrunk greatly, and the rest of the place is empty. It has become a swamp, and even the soil on the ground has hardened, becoming a place where aquatic shrubs are dense, and it has also become a hotspot for bandits.

   "Gao Dahu, Tang Tianshun, you take a group of people there, and clean up the road along the road first..." Duan Xipeng knew that he couldn't wait.

   It would take at least half a day to pass through after clearing this line, and the time was running out. He didn't dare to wait, so he could only pass while cleaning.

   At worst, let a group of people guard on the side of the carriage, covered with meat shields.

A group of knights rushed out quickly, clearing the forest and bushes within 20 steps on both sides of the road, followed by more than 20 soldiers holding bows and arrows and keeping vigilant. Time to launch an attack to back it up.

  Even Baoqin and the others in the car felt the tense atmosphere outside the car and dared not speak any more.

  The speed of the carriage did not slow down, but the bumps were even worse. The post road next to Dong Ze had been crushed by pedestrians and vehicles, and the muddy ground was soft, so there were big ups and downs.

  Six or seven cavalrymen maintained their postures, forming a comb shape of different widths, and slowly rode their horses along the mixed area of ​​shrubs and trees on the east side of the post road.

Each of them held a one-handed crossbow in one hand and a narrow sharp knife in the other hand. They kept a distance of ten steps from each other, and they could launch an attack immediately and respond to each other, so that the whole group could advance on the post road. The area where the cavalry poses a threat is basically covered.

  As partridges and pheasants flew up from the bushes, the cavalry became a little nervous.

Accompanied by a sharp roar, a cavalryman landed on the ground, followed by the continuous explosion of crossbow bolts and slashing of knives, four or five cavalrymen dispersed immediately, and more than 20 archers had already spread out to form a formation. The attack line quickly pointed to the direction indicated by the cavalry and began to draw bows and arrows.

Feng Jinchang has already rode his horse to the front line, Duan Xipeng needs to be in command, and he will be in the front line. Fighting in battle is not his specialty, but he is not the kind of scholar who is powerless, he has practiced for many years Wu Ji's body is no stranger to horseback riding and archery.

"put!"

  The archers skillfully released the first round of arrows, and soon there were low or high-pitched screams in the woods.

  Before the second round of arrows was released, a large group of ragged soldiers, or bandits, rushed out of the woods and rushed towards the open area here.

  Feng Jinchang roughly estimated that there were about fifty or sixty people, but if you add the follow-ups who are still rushing out, it is estimated that there should be one or two hundred people.

Feng Jinchang drove his horse back slowly, and also called on the archers to get out of the way in an orderly manner to form a trumpet-shaped gap, facing the rushing rebels and bandits, and the second round of arrows poured out. Under the formation, there is almost no place to hide, and in addition to having no armor, at least seven or eight people can't afford it.

  Accompanied by more than 30 riders sweeping from the side and rear, the narrow blade in his hand was shining brightly in the sun, adding a bit of **** breath out of thin air.

Under such a joint attack, the rebels and bandits who had not received much formal military training were powerless to resist. The iron hooves of the cavalry passed by, and the entire formation collapsed amidst the screams of horror, and the dozens of soldiers who followed closely The pawns rushed forward with spears in hand, and then harvested the wave of enemies who had fallen prey.

Duan Xipeng did not participate in this wave. In his opinion, this kind of battle is meaningless. It only poses a threat to his own side, and he just cleaned it up. In this situation, one or two hundred people are like sneak attacking him, which is too small for him. up.

   Maybe he can't deal with a rebellious army of one or two thousand people. He still thinks that this kind of small rebellious army can be used for practice.

   A wave of harvesting eliminated this group of people, and the remaining dozens of captives took the initiative to explain the situation.

As expected, it wasn't the rebellious army, but the participating bandits who had been hiding here. After a large group of bandits had gone west to Jiangzhou or south to Wenxi to find the rebellious army, they were the only ones who were unwilling to leave Dong Ze It's the old nest, but they can't hold on for too long.

As the offensive of the chaotic army in the west became more and more fierce, there were fewer and fewer passing convoys and horses on this road, so they still took risks even though they knew that the group of people in front of them were not easy to mess with. Wow, I'm really hungry.

   Disperse these bandit captives and let them find their own way of life. It seems that they can only go to Jiangzhou to join the rebel army. These bandits don't have horses, so they don't worry about them going to inform.

Duan Xipeng and his party continued to go south. At this time, Jiangzhou's rebel army had no time to catch up with him and his party, but the situation on Wenxi's side was even more dangerous. It was not known whether the Yi clan's rebel army had already moved to Wen Xi'an in the east. Yap this line marched.
