Chapter 248: The young boy; the bold lunatic; the contemporary hero
Zhou Liuying, no doubt at night.

When Li Guan heard these two names, his expression changed slightly and his face was complicated. It was just over a year ago, but he had experienced many life and death and journeys in the past year. Thinking back to his experiences in Jiangzhou City and Guanyi City last year, it seemed like a dream.

I actually had the illusion of missing my youth.

Li Guanyi was in a trance for a moment, and Gongsun Wuyue said:

"These two have reached the realm of the third heaven, but they are both around 20 years old. They are extremely outstanding among the younger generation. Among the younger generation of the Gongsun family, only Feixue, who has been trained with all their strength, can be compared with him in terms of internal strength."

"As for the army formation, the ranks, or even one-on-one fighting, I'm afraid we are no match for them. With the third level of internal strength, we can condense our energy into a weapon. Our ordinary mechanical crossbows can basically only cope with the entry-level level."

"Unless they take out the forbidden things, it will be difficult to stop them."

"Now they are here, I'm afraid they are here for the 1,000 soldiers of the Chen State."

"A Jianghu family, detaining the generals of a great country."

"Not to mention the daily loss of food rations, this matter itself is extremely dangerous."

"Now we can't let it go, and we can't not let it go either."

"Guan Yi, is there any solution?"

Li Guanyi remained silent for a long time, then replied: "These two people are my best friends. I have a way to resolve this matter. There is only one thing, and that is that you must follow my way."

He immediately spoke of this matter. Gongsun Wu Yue was surprised at first, then looked at Li Guanyi with a complicated expression. Seeing that the young man was very calm, he could do nothing but smiled and nodded, saying, "I now know why Zu Wenyuan accepted you as his disciple."

“If you see a person like this and don’t accept him as your disciple, then he is no longer your disciple.”

"You are still so young, so you must be the kind of fire that he was willing to die to preserve?"

Gongsun Wuyue walked out of the yard and suddenly smiled in a complicated manner. She stretched out her hand to catch a fallen leaf and said softly, "Brother Zhou's grandson, Zu Wenyuan's disciple, and my Gongsun family. The world is unpredictable and no one can imagine it."

She let the fallen leaves dance, then stretched out her fingers and picked up the white hair at her temples:
"Only at this moment do I realize how fleeting youth is and how time flies by."

"Back then, we joined forces to deal with the head of that great family and won fame in the martial arts world. But in the blink of an eye, it is our younger generation who are now shining in this world."

The silver-haired man just stood there, staring at Li Guanyi and Yaoguang.

Yaoguang was flipping through a book.

The silver-haired man looked down calmly.

"It seems that the Star-gazing lineage has made great efforts in training the younger generation. Even in this world, they never forget to read books and practice diligently."

"Let me take a look at, um, the First Generation Yaoguang Manual."

"It looks more like an ancient book."

'I don't know what it is.'

'But reading is always good.'

The silver-haired man saw Yaoguang turn the page to the back of the manual, and then spread out his palm. Silver light flowed and changed on his palm. He was tempering his own spirit and practicing the art of formation.

Then I saw Li Guanyi sitting there, holding a piece of paper and writing something carefully.

The silver-haired man was not pleased to see him.

There was no reason for it. He just didn't like it. He just said to himself, "You little brat!"

"What a lunatic!"

Li Guanyi didn't know that the silver-haired man was looking at him, he was just recording the gains of the Gongsun family.

The Gongsun family has an elite warrior who has reached the sixth level of the heavenly realm. Although they do not have any magical weapons, they do have two mysterious weapons, and they have a hundred or eighty disciples who are capable of fighting.

Such a noble family relies on mechanical devices, fortresses, and the business of Piaomiao Pavilion to establish itself in the martial arts world. They are not good at fighting. For someone like Qi Junsong, who is at the fifth level of the sky and is steady and cautious, he would not care about going around and deploying military formations.

If the army could mobilize its spirit like a Dharmadhatu and fight hard, it would be possible to withstand the volley of crossbow arrows and break through the fortress of the Gongsun family. And if someone like Ling Pingyang was given 500 heavy cavalry, he could directly break through the current crossbow formation.

Yue Qianfeng can smash a mountain top with one punch, and Xue Daoyong can shoot an arrow through a field fifty miles long.

All the famous generals in the world, who can command their armies, can do similar things.

In other words, there are at least a hundred people who can do this in such a big world with millions of armored soldiers.

However, such martial arts are rare after all.

The vast majority of warriors cannot withstand the crossbow and horse archery.

The military formation was deployed with the blessing of various attributes. Ordinary crossbows could deal with incoming warriors, but they could never deal with the formation of giant shield heavy infantry. The strength of the Gongsun family's mechanical crossbow was that ordinary people could also use it as long as there were enough people.

The weakness is that ordinary people holding crossbows cannot keep up with the high-speed mobile warrior formations. At present, it can only be used to defend the city.

It is even more effective when defending a city.

However, we must also pay attention to the fact that this kind of crossbow stronghold cannot be taken over by a single general with extremely powerful martial arts. There must be elite warriors with sufficient martial arts power to protect it around the crossbow stronghold.

"Well, it is good at breakthrough and sustainability. Its characteristics are that it has low requirements for the user. In the case of volley fire, it can carry out a saturation attack on the military formation of ordinary armies. The disadvantage is that once the enemy has formed a formation, it is difficult to break through the heavily armored shield infantry under the protection of the military evil spirit formation."

"Tsk, if we encounter Lu Youxian's special military formation, I'm afraid we will be suppressed to death, that old turtle. However, if the old turtle is on our side and masters this formation, he will not be an old turtle anymore."

"That's a dragon-armored hedgehog turtle that sticks out its spines."

"It can be used as a special forces formation as a backup."

"I really hope to kidnap the old turtle... No, please, please come here."

The basis of Li Guanyi's military formation was passed down by the famous general Yuwen Tianxian.

The style is a mixed combat of multiple arms.

The silver-haired man heard it clearly and frowned slightly. Even though he was born a beggar, he was arrogant and frivolous. But when he saw Li Guanyi set up a strategy and defeated thousands of soldiers by himself, and got the help of the Gongsun family, he immediately set to work on compiling a battle formation.

The whale fisherman was also forced to remain silent for a moment, holding his breath, but still muttered to himself:
"Although he is arrogant, he is not an ordinary brat."

"I still have some skills."

After a pause, he said, "Just a little bit."

………………

Ye Buyi, Zhou Liuying was riding his horse quickly to the location of the Gongsun family. The logistics troops had been arranged. Ye Buyi said calmly: "General Qi left alone and has not returned for a long time. I am afraid that the plan has failed."

"Thousands of troops cannot attack. Although we are eight hundred logistics soldiers, we are no match for the main force, which are all foreign warriors wearing heavy armor. Even if we all attack, I'm afraid it will be useless."

"You and I came here alone, and we took advantage of the situation to bring General Qi Junsong back."

Zhou Liuying said: "If it doesn't work, then let the logistics department discuss with Ying State and send a large army to encircle and suppress the Gongsun lineage."

Ye Buyi said: "Well, whether it succeeds or not, you and I don't have to be afraid of him."

The Gongsun family had known for a long time that the troops of the State of Chen were coming here, and they retreated into the interior early. The courtyard outside seemed to have become a place of protection, transformed into a fortress. They never expected that it was only two young generals who came, without any troops following them.

The Gongsun family disciples who were on high alert were all stunned and puzzled for a moment.

Zhou Liuying held a spear in his hand and knocked hard on the door, saying, "Open the door quickly!"

"Your Grandpa Zhou is here!"

He is quite arrogant, and his mouth is still as smelly as it was in the past.

Ye Buyi placed the spear in his hand against the ground, clasped his fists, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I am the cavalry commander of Yechi Cavalry of the Great Chen State, the eldest son of the Ye family, Ye Buyi, and I come to pay my respects to the head of the Gongsun family. I would like to meet him."

One is as arrogant as a tiger, while the other is as calm as a mountain.

The temperaments of the two men were like fire and water, but both were calm and composed.

The disciples of the Gongsun family rode out for several miles, but reported that they had not seen any ambush. The soldiers of the Chen State were actually more than ten miles away. Gongsun Feixue knew about this, and looked at Ye Buyi and Zhou Liuying outside the Gongsun family, and sighed:

"I have only heard of brave military men in history books in the past. I didn't expect to see so many of them in such a short period of time. Open the door."

When the gate of the Gongsun family opened, there were still disciples of the Gongsun family holding crossbows and on guard. Zhou Liuying laughed, and suddenly rode forward, turned the spear in his hand over, and in just two moves, he knocked down more than a dozen people with the butt of the spear. The other disciples shot crossbow arrows, but they were all knocked away by him.

Ye Buyi said: "Liuying!"

Zhou Liuying stopped galloping back and forth. He had obtained a part of the magical skill "The Red Dragon Controlling the Nine Provinces" passed down by Ji Yanzhong. Over the past year, his skills had improved by leaps and bounds. He had also reached the third level and was able to condense Qi into armor and condense Qi into weapons.

These crossbow arrows cannot penetrate the aura of this fierce general.

He laughed to himself and said, "I am not venting my anger, but letting the Gongsun family know that the men of Dachen are not all good-for-nothings."

He also said to himself: "The soldier is a scoundrel, and the generals are all scoundrels. It's Qi Junsong."

"Why don't you just commit suicide and die early!"

"But he wants me to come and save him!"

Ye Buyi said in a serious tone: "Get off the horse!"

Zhou Liuying then dismounted and threw the weapon in his hand heavily to the ground. The blade of the spear was deeply embedded in the ground. It was the Zhou family's hook-and-sickle spear, which was sharp and could be used to stab, lock, and hook people.

If there is no suspicion at night, then use the cavalry to ride at night.

Gongsun Feixue noticed the long and sharp knife on Ye Buyi's waist.

The Night Cavalry is a type of heavy cavalry that charges at high speed. They are equipped with extremely long spears with blades as long as a broadsword, and narrow and sharp swords. The spears are weapons for horseback riding, while the swords are weapons for infantry combat.

The Night Riding Cavalry, both on horseback and on foot, are the most powerful army in the world.

The individual qualities and martial arts of an individual soldier can reach the second level of sword energy.

Seeing these two people, Gongsun Feixue did not lose face. She bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Gongsun family, Feixue greets you two. Brother Zhou Shi, I have heard about you from my grandmother for a long time, and now I finally have the opportunity to meet you."

Zhou Liuying also knew the relationship between his grandfather and the head of the Gongsun family.

The frivolous look on his face disappeared. He returned the gift and laughed, "Sister Feixue, I just wanted to prove that the men of Dachen are not useless. I don't have any opinion on the Gongsun family."

"It's a matter of state!"

Although he seems to be very frivolous, he actually knows very well what he is saying and doing. A disciple carefully trained by the Zhou family is definitely not a waste like the son of Chen Guoqi Junsong.

Zhou Liuying asked, "I wonder how the Gongsun family captured Qi Junsong?"

"Hahaha, although that General Huahua is not a famous general, he was able to swallow him and a thousand soldiers in one breath, so he must be no ordinary person, right? We went to take a look, and there were traces of ambush flags on both sides. This is not a trick used by the martial arts world."

Gongsun Feixue said: "That one is waiting for you two."

Zhou Liuying and Ye Buyi looked at each other and dropped their long-handled weapons.

He walked in calmly with only his sword, showing his heroic spirit. However, he did not expect that the archers and warriors of the Gongsun family did not follow him, but just stopped.

Gongsun Feixue smiled and said, "My two brothers, please go forward."

"I won't disturb you anymore." Ye Buyi and Zhou Liuying were somewhat confused.

Zhou Liuying bumped Ye Buyi with his shoulder and said, "Hey, Old Ye, what are you talking about? Are these Jianghu people so upright?"

Ye Buyi said, "Call me Captain."

Zhou Liuying rolled his eyes and said, "General Gong Zhenyong was expelled from the Jinwu Guards and went to the border to fight the Regent. Why are you still following General Gong and claiming your position, right?"

Ye Buyi did not answer. As a general of the Jinwu Guard, Gong Zhenyong was eventually implicated in the great sacrifice that day. He was stripped of all his official positions and banished to the Western Regions, where he became a garrison soldier and fought with the Regent.

I heard that when he was serving as the Jinwu Guard in Jiangzhou City, his body, which had been dead and motionless for four or five years, suddenly broke through. After more than a year of bloody and fierce battles, he even fought against the main force of the Regent.

After a great battle, he successfully broke through to the fifth level and became a main-level general with 18,000 armored soldiers under his command. Gong Zhenyong was good at the coordinated combat style of heavy armored infantry and chariots, and the specially trained soldiers under his command were halberd heavy armored soldiers.

When fighting with the Regent's light cavalry, it caused headaches for the latter's generals.

The true potential of a famous general can only be honed on the battlefield.

In the imperial palace, wearing gorgeous armor and holding an axe and halberd that are only used as ceremonial objects is just a tragic death for a man with passionate hearts who is eager to serve his country.

Zhou Liuying laughed and said, "However, I always feel that it is more enjoyable and comfortable for General Gong Zhenyong to fight on the frontier and guard the border for the country than to be a Jinwu Guard in Jiangzhou City."

"As men, we live between heaven and earth. We should die for our country and our families. How can we be dogs for the rich and powerful and the royal family in Jiangzhou City?"

"Okay, Liuying, keep quiet, we're about to meet."

Zhou Liuying was solemn. The two men put on their armor and went up the stairs. Under the pavilion in the middle, they saw a man sitting there. He was wearing a starched and bleached Taoist robe, with his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, and an ancient sword with pine patterns on his waist. He looked tall and handsome.

Zhou Liuying and Ye Buyi’s bodies suddenly froze.

Ye Buyi said: "Li Guanyi..."

It was just a trance.

It was as if they were no longer the generals who had joined the army, nor the heroes who could lead the troops and gallop through this troubled world, but the young men who had happily ridden their horses in Jiangzhou City.

But in the next moment, Zhou Liuying murmured: "Boss... Not good!"

Zhou Liuying's face changed drastically.

The red dragon's long roar suddenly sounded, and Ye Buyi, whose power was almost as strong as Yu Wenhua's during the grand festival competition, suddenly stood up, clenched his right fist and roared like a dragon, and with murderous intent in mind, he rushed towards Li Guanyi.

On that day, we severed our friendship and became heroes of the world, even though our friendship was real.

When we severed our ties that day, it was also true!

When we meet, there is no need to talk about old friendship, just fight.

A man stands between heaven and earth, he has his own pride, his own friendship, but also his own character and his own country. If they are enemies, they will fight to the death. At most, after their death, they will drink a glass of wine in front of the tombstone!
Ye Buyi approached in an instant, and his right hand like a red dragon's fang locked towards Li Guanyi's throat. At the same time, he raised his right foot and kicked the young man in the abdomen. Li Guanyi knew Ye Buyi's character and dodged to the side.

Ye Buyi punched the pavilion in the mountain, and the dragon roared incessantly.

The pavilion was knocked down by Ye Buyi's punch!
The high-level warrior's destructive nature, like a human Tyrannosaurus, was revealed. He pulled out the famous long and narrow horizontal sword of the Night Cavalry and was about to use the Night Cavalry's fighting methods to kill Li Guanyi without saying a word.

Zhou Liuying rushed forward and grabbed Ye Buyi's arms tightly with both hands, trapping him tightly. Ye Buyi just understood everything and said:
"It's you!"

"That's right, only you, the Jiangnan Qilin, can defeat that loser Qi Junsong!" Ye Buyi knew that he couldn't kill the Taoist in front of him, not to mention that Zhou Liuying knew Ye Buyi's fiery temper, so he tried his best to pull him back. The knife in Ye Buyi's hand hit the ground heavily, and he cursed:

"Qi Junsong, what a loser! You killed a good man from Dachen!"

Zhou Liuying held Ye Buyi tightly, cold sweat on his forehead, and said:
"calm down!"

"Well, we haven't seen Guanyi for a long time. This isn't a battlefield. Don't be so angry."

Li Guanyi:
"I didn't kill the one thousand soldiers of the Chen State."

Ye Buyi never doubted Li Guanyi and said, "Thank you!"

"Where are your Qilin Army?"

Li Guanyi laughed to himself and replied: "You've already said it, you good-for-nothing, I can do it by myself, why would I need any soldiers?!"

When communicating with friends, even friends who were enemies, Li Guanyi was no longer restrained. In his conversation, the frivolity of the past could still be seen. Even with a personality like Ye Buyi, he only praised and said, "Good!"

After speaking, knowing that the positions were different, he cursed:

"Qi Junsong, waste!"

Li Guanyi said: "They are indeed useless. It's a pity for those Dachen soldiers."

"When you came today, I originally wanted to have a drink with you, but unfortunately, I'm afraid I don't have this opportunity. Bring him up!" Li Guanyi said, and a disciple of the Gongsun family came in with someone.

The man was dressed in fine clothes, had fine hair and beard, looked middle-aged, and had a very powerful internal energy. Even with the use of elixirs to restrain his internal energy, a mixture of steel wire, rhino tendon, and tiger tendon ropes were used to lock his tendons and veins to prevent it from erupting.

It was Qi Junsong. When Qi Junsong saw Ye Buyi and Zhou Liuying, his eyes lit up with joy. He realized that they were here to save him, so he felt relieved and laughed, "Hahaha, Captain Ye, Captain Zhou, you're here!"

He shook his shoulders, and the several Gongsun family warriors who were pressing on him were directly blown away. He strode over and said, "It's good that you are here. This Li Guanyi is cunning... He is brave and intelligent. I am really no match for him."

He shook his shoulders and said with a smile, "It seems that you guys are having a good chat. Untie my ropes. Since you brought me here, we should talk about peace, right?"

"The rope is really too tight. I'm afraid that gentleman will suffer."

Li Guanyi said: "How can you tie up a wild animal less tightly?"

Qi Junsong was unhappy. He was a qualified politician but no longer a qualified general. Although he had been in the Fifth Heaven for some time, at this moment he had to fight with Gong Zhenyong who had just entered the Fifth Heaven.

He will surely be killed in ten rounds by the general whose catchphrase is "duty".

When he was sure that he could escape, he had already started thinking about how to get out of this situation safely.

Chen Dingye was mean, ungrateful, and tyrannical. He had failed to complete his mission, so Chen Dingye must be angry. He had to find two targets to direct the anger of the Emperor Chen...

Qi Junsong glanced over and looked at Ye Buyi and Zhou Liuying.

My heart moved slightly.

Ye Buyi is the only son of the commander of the Ye Chi Cavalry, and Zhou Liuying is the future commander of the hook-and-sickle spear battle formation. These two armies are both the top battle formation corps of the State of Chen, one is an ace-level corps, and the other is also a front-line corps.

Emperor Chen must be afraid of the commanders of the two armies.

Why not go back and say that it was Ye Buyi who secretly communicated with Zhou Liuying and Li Guanyi, which led to my mistake and my capture...

No facts are needed, just Chen Huang’s belief is enough.

Li Guanyi looked at Ye Buyi and said, "I can return the Chen Kingdom's thousands of troops to you, but before that, there is one more thing."

Without waiting for Ye Buyi's answer, Qi Junsong said, "What's the big deal? I'm the commander-in-chief and I agree to it!"

There was disgust in Ye Buyi and Zhou Liuying's eyes.

Li Guanyi said, "Okay."

"Thank you for agreeing."

Qi Junsong felt relieved and was about to laugh, but he heard the sound of a sword, followed by the angry shouts of Ye Buyi and Zhou Liuying. Qi Junsong felt a chill in his heart, but Li Guanyi had already pulled out the [Lingyun Wood] and stabbed it horizontally with the sword.

The sword technique taught by the sword maniac has reached perfect level.

It pierced Qi Junsong's neck in just a moment.

The pine texture of [Lingyun Wood] now has an effect similar to a blood groove. Although there is nothing mysterious about this sword, its material and sharpness have reached the level of a mysterious weapon. Even an ordinary sword cannot penetrate Qi Junsong's physique.

But his neck was cut off by a sword.

At the same time, even Zhou Liuying, who was quite friendly towards Li Guanyi, drew his sword without hesitation to attack Li Guanyi and stop his action. Li Guanyi kicked Zhou Liuying's sword away, and suddenly the sword rang clearly and blood spurted out.

Ye Buyi stopped.

His well-honed martial arts skills showed their effect at this moment. The Yechi Knife in his hand pierced into Li Guanyi's chest. Blood dripped from the boy's Taoist robe, but the [Lingyun Wood] in Li Guanyi's hand pierced into Qi Junsong's neck without letting go.

This mature and outstanding politician, the useless general struggled for more than ten breaths before dying. Ye Buyi was dazed and subconsciously wanted to draw his sword.

Li Guanyi raised his hand and pressed down the blade of the Ye Chi Knife.

Suddenly he exerted force violently.

The blade of the Ye Chi Knife pierced through the boy's back.

Li Guanyi's mouth was bleeding. He looked at his friend and grabbed Ye Buyi's knife. He then said, "When Qi Junsong goes back, you two will definitely contact me privately. I am your lord now and I will kill this scourge!"

"Your knife pierced Li Guanyi's chest and stained it with my blood."

"You can report to those 1,000 soldiers and Emperor Chen."

Ye Buyi pulled out the knife with force, the front end of the blade was stained red, and he threw the knife on the ground, making a clanging sound.

Li Guanyi had a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Ye Buyi and said:

"That knife I stabbed you with back then, today I will return it to you!"

"We'll meet again on the battlefield someday."

Gongsun's path was open, and no one was blocking it. Ye Buyi looked at the blood on the blade and at Li Guanyi. He stretched out his hand and pulled out the Yechi Knife. After a moment of silence, he replied, "We'll meet again on the battlefield."

Ye Buzhi, Zhou Liuying left, thousands of soldiers were waiting outside, Li Guanyi's chest was bleeding, he just stood on the pavilion, watching the backs of his two friends leaving, and said to himself: "It's a pity that we couldn't drink a cup together."

He shouted, “Buyi, Liuying, we are still friends.”

The young general held the sword and smiled frivolously: "I have killed your enemies, and your swords have pierced the traitors in the past."

"Next time we meet, I'll treat you to my best wine."

“See the best view.”

"Then drink with the most heroic war drum beats in the world!"

"OK?!"

Zhou Liuying and Ye Buyi had their backs to him. Zhou Liuying raised his sword, and Ye Buyi also raised the knife in his hand. Then they rode away without looking back. Only the young Taoist retreated half a step, sat on the ground, and covered the wound in his chest.

He was grimacing in pain, but laughing to himself.

What a pleasure! What a pleasure!
The young man is chivalrous and makes friends with heroes from the five cities!

The heart and the gallbladder are open, the hair stands on end. In the conversation, life and death are the same. A promise is worth a thousand gold!

The silver-haired man witnessed this scene, remained silent for a long time, and finally sighed:
"White Tiger Sect."

"The heroes of this world are not deceiving me."
