Chapter 377 Password: gogogo (two in one)
"Sir, what should I do next?"
Fan Xian, who had a frown on his face, suddenly had his eyes flash.
"There are many people on the other side, so stay put for now."
"Yes!"
Gundam held his long sword horizontally, blocking in front of Fan Xian, while the other six tiger guards held their swords horizontally outward, quickly surrounding the two men and Sean in the middle.
The orderly iron hooves in the chaos quickly rushed to the crowd and surrounded them, and then stopped moving, as if waiting for something.
Fan Xian did not look at them, but looked behind them through the gap left by the cavalry. Sean also stood up with the help of a stone and looked over there as well.
Clack, clack, clack, the crisp, tight and rhythmic sound of horse hooves rang in everyone's ears. Then Xiluodi let out a loud neigh, and the front hooves jumped into the air. The man on the horse clamped his legs against the horse's belly and leaned back, pulling the reins to control the direction of the horse's landing. After a dull thud, the horse stabilized. At this time, the man on the horse appeared in everyone's sight. It was a burly man named Uesugi Tora, wearing a general's armor, holding a 10-foot-long spear, and with a full beard.
Fan Xian looked at him curiously. This was the first time he saw the legendary Northern Qi God of War. He was not disappointed by his appearance. He was indeed mighty and majestic, just as he had imagined.
Sean's eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at his adopted son, and then he showed a rare trace of warmth and relief, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
……
"Soldiers from Northern Qi."
Zhao Da hid behind a hidden rock, squatted on one knee, supported his right elbow on the stone next to him, held a tomato in his left hand, swayed his body lazily, looked at Guo Baokun next to him and introduced him casually, then took a bite of the tomato.
Guo Baokun was lying on a low rock, with only his head exposed, looking at the center of the conflict. Hearing this, his eyes were blank and he muttered.
"Why are the soldiers from Northern Qi coming here?"
Zhao Da thought for a moment, tilted his head towards him, and replied in a low voice.
"Not far ahead is the border. They must have come here secretly."
Guo Baokun nodded subconsciously and his chin hit the stone.
"Oh, that's not right. I didn't see Master Mei at the embassy. Why isn't he here either? Where did he go?"
Zhao Da was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Wasn't the target Fan Xian? Then who was Mei Shao? Thinking of him, he moved closer.
"Master Mei is..."
"it's me!"
A voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them. They were startled and turned around subconsciously. Zhao Da reacted quickly and put a tomato in his mouth. While turning around, his hand reached for the sickle at his waist.
Mei Cheng'an noticed his movement and quickly tapped his chest with his finger as fast as lightning. Then Zhao Da looked up with a terrified face and did not move.
"Mr. Mei?"
Guo Baokun saw the person behind him and his eyes were somewhat surprised.
"Shh!"
Mei Chengan put his finger between his lips and gestured at him, then squatted down between him and Zhao Da and looked towards the conflict.
Guo Baokun said "oh" with a smile on his face, followed his figure with his eyes, and asked in a low voice.
"Ms. Mei, why are you here?"
Mei Cheng'an raised his hand, took out a tomato from somewhere, took a bite and glanced at him.
"I was just wondering, why did you follow me here?"
Guo Baokun looked embarrassed and stammered, not knowing how to explain. He noticed the state of Zhao Da and his men out of the corner of his eye, his expression changed and he asked hurriedly.
"Master Mei, he, they..."
Mei Cheng'an waved his hand and took another bite of the tomato.
"I was afraid they would scream and shout, so I pressed their acupuncture points. Don't worry, they are all fine. I will untie them later."
Guo Baokun breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his face again, and he gave him a thumbs up.
"Master Mei, you still have this ability, amazing!"
Mei Chengan looked at him and pointed ahead.
"The lively show has begun, let's just watch the show quietly first."
"Oh ok."
After responding obediently, Guo Baokun turned around and lay on the stone again, looking towards the field.
Zhao Da and his group were frozen in place: "?"
……
Trample, tramp, tramp... Uesugi Tiger drove his horse slowly forward with a stern face. When he was about four or five steps in front of the crowd, he stopped the horse, sat upright on the horse, looked at Sean, the sternness on his face softened a lot, and said in a deep voice.
"Godfather, long time no see."
Sean looked at him quietly and smiled without responding.
At this moment, Fan Xian suddenly took a step forward, and as he walked, a dagger appeared silently in his palm. He raised it suddenly, and in an instant the sharp blade was placed on Sean's neck. He looked at Uesugi Tiger and said casually.
"General, it's not too late to greet your foster father later. You're too close to me, which makes me feel insecure. How about you move back?"
His tone was lazy and casual, but his demeanor was very threatening.
Upon hearing this, Shangshan Hu's expression did not change significantly, but one could sense that he had instantly become much colder. His pair of tiger eyes looked quietly at Fan Xian, and after a moment a sneer and disdain suddenly appeared in his eyes. Not only did he not retreat, but he drove his horse slowly forward one step, just one step more and no less.
This wave of operations, which were not very harmful but were extremely insulting, directly changed Fan Xian's expression. The warmth on his face disappeared and became extremely gloomy. "You are pretending to be cool, right? Okay, okay, if you don't take my soft approach, I will use my hard approach on you!"
While cursing in his heart, Fan Xian moved his wrist slightly, and a line of blood appeared from Sean's neck. He looked at Shang Shanhu viciously.
"I call you a general, but you really think you're a piece of cake, don't you? Are you pretending to be your mother? Look at your face. Come on, take another step forward and let me see if I dare to chop off your godfather's head, idiot!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent. No one had expected that the great poet of Nanqing, the most cultured and cultured person in the eyes of the world, could say such vulgar words. It was simply shocking and ruined people's worldview!
But I have to say it, it really makes me feel relieved!
After the expressions of Gundam and his group changed, they all showed happy smiles on their faces and looked at Kamishiro with pride.
Sean's expression when he looked at Fan Xian was also very interesting. After a while, he actually smiled with appreciation in his eyes.
Guo Baokun, who was hiding in the dark, heard Fan Xian's words and stared blankly for a while, then spat quietly to the side.
"vulgar!"
Mei Cheng'an glanced at him with the corner of his mouth curled, shook his head and continued to look at the field.
After being attacked by a series of extremely filthy and obscene words, Uesugi Tora was stunned for a moment. His expression finally changed. He lost his previous calmness and became extremely furious.
In his entire life, this was the first time that he was scolded so dirty, so harshly, and so unbearably!
For the first time, he truly felt what it meant to be insulted!
He was furious and a cold smile appeared on his face. He ignored Fan Xian's threat and his adoptive father's life, squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and drove the horse forward slowly.
Anyone could see that he was on the verge of a rage and would explode in a moment. Gundam and his companions all looked extremely solemn and held their swords tightly.
At this time, Fan Xian's sinister expression no longer existed. He had deliberately put on that expression, and it was natural and free to control it. Facing the approaching Uesugi Tiger, he simply chose to ignore him, turned his head to look at Sean, and asked curiously.
"Hey, is your adopted son here to save you or to kill you? Why doesn't he care about your life or death at all?"
Sean glanced at him without responding, his eyes involuntarily looked at Shangshan Hu. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of him, with his right hand raised high, and the tip of the spear in his hand was aimed at Fan Xian.
"Lord be careful!"
Gundam yelled.
At the same moment, Uesugi Tora swung his right arm forward, and the spear flew out of his hand and shot towards Fan Xian. Fan Xian would naturally not be stupid enough to stand there and let the spear pierce him through the heart. He retracted his dagger and quickly dodged to the back. Uesugi Tora rode his horse and launched an attack as soon as the spear flew out of his hand. Gundam and his group and Sean quickly made way for him.
The Pegasus leapt over Fan Xian, who was still spinning and moving in the air. The warhorse's charge missed, but Uesugi Tiger was not disappointed. He rode forward to take the spear that was inserted into the ground. Fan Xian did a somersault and landed steadily. His posture when landing was very cool, but he was actually doing a very cowardly thing. He stroked his chest up and down frantically with his left hand.
"That was a close call, that was a close call, oh my god, it was so scary!"
On the other side, Uesugi Tora, who had collected the spear, had turned around and rushed towards him again without stopping. Fan Xian's eyes fixed, and he threw the dagger to his left hand. His right hand suddenly reached behind him and grabbed the bottle of drugs that his teacher had given him. The gap in strength was too big, and he could not hold back any longer. He then slammed his feet on the ground and rushed back towards Uesugi Tora who was charging at him.
The warhorse was galloping fast, and Fan Xian was not slow either. In an instant, the two sides were close to each other. Fan Xian pointed his toes and jumped high into the air. Shangshan Hu was not in a hurry. He grasped the spear with both hands and aimed the tip of the spear at Fan Xian's figure in the air. He loosened his left hand and raised his right arm diagonally upward. Facing the shot that hit his heart directly, Fan Xian quickly swung his left arm and hit the side with the dagger. After a crisp sound of metal colliding, he successfully pushed the tip of the spear away. At the same time, Fan Xian swung his right arm violently downward, and the medicine bottle flew in front of Shangshan Hu and exploded out of thin air, with a burst of white smoke. Even though Shangshan Hu held his breath at the first moment, he still inhaled a small amount of smoke and dust. Then his eyes suddenly lost consciousness, and he was actually dazed during the impact. In a moment, the sharp edge flashing with a dark luster had reached his neck, and blood marks were already visible.
The onlookers all widened their eyes. They didn't know what was happening to Uesugi Tora. They only knew that in a moment his neck would be cut by the sharp dagger. Sean's pupils shrank, and the Northern Qi cavalrymen's eyes were bloodshot.
However, at the critical moment, Uesugi Tiger, whose head was about to be separated from his body, suddenly regained clarity in his eyes and tilted his head to the other side.
Fan Xian's figure was still advancing in the air, and his horse was also galloping wildly. The two figures suddenly intersected. After Fan Xian landed, he turned back abruptly, frowned, and secretly said what a pity.
On the other side, Uesugi Tora had also turned his horse around. At this time, there was a deep bloody wound on his neck, and blood was gushing out. The blood had unknowingly stained half of his body, but he was not dead after all.
Uesugi Tora touched his neck. He could clearly feel something warm and sticky on his hand. The strong smell of blood kept hitting his sense of smell. He looked down at his palm which was covered in blood and turned red. He actually laughed out loud. Even though his laughter caused the blood to gush out more violently, he had no intention of stopping. He was truly full of heroic spirit.
At this time, all the Northern Qi cavalry had rushed to the scene and blocked Uesugi Tora. A cavalryman approached him, took out a tinder, threw out a candle, took out a dagger slung across his back, placed the blade over the flame and silently roasted it. The whole place was silent. Fan Xian crossed his arms and watched quietly from the opposite side. It was not that he did not want to take the opportunity to attack the injured Uesugi Tora, not giving him time to breathe and exhausting him to bleed to death, but his cavalry came too fast.
Under the scorching flames, the blade of the dagger quickly became red hot, and the cavalryman casually handed the dagger to the tiger.
"General."
Uesugi Tora had stopped laughing at this time. He raised his hand to take the dagger and without hesitation extended the extremely hot blade to the bleeding wound on his neck. A burst of white smoke rose up, Uesugi Tora groaned, and the smell of burnt meat instantly spread.
The Northern Qi soldiers remained calm, but the others who saw it all had distorted expressions, and all subconsciously looked away as if they couldn't bear to look directly at it. Fan Xian, who was standing opposite him, subconsciously covered his neck, hissed, tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and grinned, as if he felt the same way. He sighed in his heart, this Shangshanhu is a werewolf, even more cruel than a ruthless person, he is crueler to others and even crueler to himself! He is a character!
dark place.
咿～
Guo Baokun stretched out his hands across his eyes and tilted his head to look to the side.
"Master Mei, this guy is too fierce, isn't it painful?"
Mei Cheng'an stared at Uesugi Tora with a rare serious look on his face, and spoke softly after hearing what was said.
"Pain is better than bleeding to death."
Guo Baokun was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"Mr. Mei, what you said makes sense!"
After saying that, he put down his hand and looked over there again.
The wound on Uesugi Tiger's neck was burned by the scalding dagger, leaving it burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, a mess with pink granulation tissue, burnt skin, and remaining blood intertwined together. It looked horrible, but the bleeding had stopped.
After being roasted and burned twice, no more blood flowed out. The Northern Qi soldier took out a thin piece of white gauze and handed it to him. Shangshan Hu handed him the spear in his hand, and bandaged his entire neck tightly several times and tied a knot.
Taking the spear, Uesugi Tora uttered a word coldly.
"retreat!"
The Northern Qi cavalrymen who helped him treat his wounds and blocked his way retreated in an instant, and surrounded Gaoda and his group and Sean again. With a slightly pale face, Shangshanhu looked at Fan Xian opposite him, raised his right arm suddenly and then stretched it forward, pointing the tip of the gun straight at Fan Xian in front of him with a sound, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Come again!"
After he finished speaking, his smile suddenly disappeared. He squeezed the horse's belly hard, and the warhorse galloped forward again, heading straight for Fan Xian.
Fan Xian had a solemn look on his face at this time, secretly groaning in his heart. He glanced around and saw that his fellow villager had not shown up yet, so he cursed inwardly and pushed off the ground to meet him again.
With a dull thud, Fan Xian's figure flew out like a piece of rag. His dagger failed to block the shot this time because it was a feint by Uesugi Tiger. With a push and a pull, the spear was returned to his hand. He grasped the spear tightly with both hands and jumped into the air. He twisted his body in the air and used the spear as a long stick, which he hit Fan Xian hard in the chest.
After rolling a few times on the ground, Fan Xian stood up and looked viciously at Shangshan Hu opposite him. He covered his chest in pain and coughed repeatedly, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
After landing, Uesugi Tiger slowly stood up, swinging the spear in his hand sideways, and walked towards Fan Xian at a leisurely pace. Fan Xian stopped coughing and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve modestly, then spread his legs forward and backward, half-crouched, held the dagger upside down and across his body, and took a defensive posture.
When Uesugi Tora saw his actions, he twitched the corner of his mouth, but did not speed up. He continued to move forward slowly, then stopped ten feet in front of Sean and waved in the direction of Sean.
"Did you also cause the injuries on my foster father?"
……
dark place.
Guo Baokun saw that Shangshan Hu did not act quickly but started talking nonsense instead. They kept talking nonsense, one sentence after another, and he didn't know how much time would be wasted. Disappointed, he was too lazy to look over there. He turned his head to glance at Mei Shao, and saw that he was watching seriously, so he didn't feel embarrassed to disturb him. His eyes swept to Zhao Da and the killers behind them, and saw that some of them could not hold on any longer, and they twisted their bodies to pieces, but still maintained their previous postures. After all, they were brothers who had suffered together for more than a month, and he felt a little bit sorry for them.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Mei Chengan and whispered.
"Mr. Mei."
Mei Cheng'an didn't even look at him when he heard the voice.
"Ok?"
Guo Baokun spoke hesitantly.
"Why don't we untie them first? I think they've been tied up for so long that their bodies are stiff, and some of them are even drooling."
Mei Cheng'an was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he looked back at him first, then glanced at Zhao Da and his group, and slapped his forehead.
"Forget about this."
After saying that, he poked Zhao Da's chest with a finger, and Zhao Da's fat body immediately sat down on the ground with a thud. His body was able to move, but his legs were numb. Then Mei Cheng'an got up and went to unblock the acupoints for the other people. Guo Baokun quickly took the opportunity to help Zhao Da up.
Zhao Da looked at Mei Chengan's figure, his legs trembling as he asked in a low voice.
"Master, this, this, who is this?"
Guo Baokun helped him to a rock and let him lie down. Then he looked behind him and replied with a big smile.
"My good friend, he is the deputy leader of the delegation. You don't have to be afraid. He has no ill intentions towards you. Don't worry."
"Oh, eh? Ah? Then he he he knows that we..."
"Forehead…"
"You are here to kill Fan Xian. I know."
Although the two people's conversation was very low, it did not escape Mei Cheng'an's ears. He untied the acupuncture points for everyone and walked back while whispering.
Zhao Da froze and looked back at him in surprise.
Guo Baokun spoke hesitantly.
"Mr. Mei, you..."
Mei Chengan squatted down and patted his shoulder.
"Don't kill Fan Xian. He will need to plead with His Majesty to save your father. His plea will be more effective than mine."
"what?"
Guo Baokun was stunned.
Mei Chengan looked at him and smiled before continuing.
"To be frank, there is no deep hatred between the two of you. You just want to vent your anger. Considering that he was able to save your father, you should forget the little grudges you had with him in the past."
Guo Baokun's eyes were blank, and after he came to his senses, he spoke.
"Then, then he..."
Mei Chengan smiled.
"Don't worry, he will help."
"Really?"
Guo Baokun was a little unsure, mainly because he was unsure.
Mei Cheng'an didn't want to waste any more words and asked directly.
"Do you believe me?"
Guo Baokun said without hesitation.
"That's for sure."
Mei Chengan nodded.
"Trust me and don't ask any more questions. If I say he will help, he will definitely help. Don't worry, he doesn't hold a grudge against you and your father."
Guo Baokun made an "oh" sound without saying anything, his eyes rolling around. His mind was a little confused. He hadn't had time to think about the fact that this trip was in vain, and he couldn't wrap his mind around it.
He hadn't thought of it yet, but Zhao Da had. This was the reason for this trip. He had already reached the target, but who knew that a man suddenly appeared and persuaded the boss with a few words. He was going to give up the target. How could this be possible? He didn't care whether Fan Xian was killed or not. He didn't know him, but this was related to whether they could receive the subsequent final payment. It was a huge sum of money for them. Could they just not earn it? Obviously not. Wouldn't their hard work for more than a month be in vain? And it would take at least another month to go back. He was anxious.
"Hey, Master, what about us?"
Guo Baokun was still confused and looked at him blankly when he heard that.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Hi~"
Zhao Da was about to say something else, but Mei Chengan stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"I won't let you make this trip in vain. I won't kill Fan Xian, and I will give you the balance in full. Don't worry, if he doesn't give it to me, I will give it to him."
When Zhao Da heard this, he was immediately surprised and delighted.
"really?"
Guo Baokun reacted and spoke immediately.
"How can I let you give this money to Master Mei? I will give it to you!"
Mei Changan glanced at him and spread his hands towards Zhao Dayi.
"look."
Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and smiled.
"That feeling is good, that feeling is good."
Mei Cheng'an glanced at the field, patted Zhao Da's shoulder and said with a smile.
"This money is not given to you for nothing."
Zhao Da's eyes rolled and he understood very well.
"I understand. We're all going to kill anyway. It doesn't matter to us who we kill. As long as you pay us, we'll kill whoever you say!"
Mei Cheng was happy. It was easy to talk to smart people.
Hearing this, Guo Baokun spoke at the right time.
"Who do you want them to kill, Mr. Mei?"
Since he has no goal, he can just find another one. After all, the money cannot be wasted, and the money he has does not come from the wind.
Mei Chengan smiled and pointed to the center of the field.
"Do you dare to kill the Northern Qi war god Shangshan Hu and his cavalry?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Da stood up without a stutter, drew the sickle from his waist and rushed out, and his fellow villagers did the same.
"Hey, eh, eh."
Mei Cheng'an pulled his arm.
"Don't be impatient. The enemy is full of experienced cavalry. Just charging over like this is like hitting a rock with an egg."
Guo Baokun smiled and gave Zhao Da a thumbs up.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't realize that. How courageous! Hey, Master Mei, you may not know that they are all veterans who have retired from the front lines and have been through many battles."
Zhao Da immediately followed up with a sentence.
"Exactly!"
Mei Chengan smiled.
"Even so, even if the infantry succeeds in charging the cavalry, the casualties are estimated to be high. Your lives are lives too. It is not worth losing a life for such a small amount of money, and it is not necessary. Well... let's do this. If there is a chaotic battle later, you can take the opportunity to attack. If there is no chaotic battle, then you just wait for my command. If you don't wait for it, then you don't have to take action. Understand?"
Zhao Da was a military man and liked this kind of clear and complete order very much. He nodded decisively after hearing it.
"understand!"
Seeing that it was finalized, Guo Baokun thought of a problem.
"Master Mei, what's the password?"
"Well…"
Mei Cheng'an was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and then snapped his fingers.
"gogogo!"
