Chapter 27: Go straight in and attack Huanglong
"Do you think that Xanthium sibiricum is used by me to track Luo Fanchen? Haha, that's just an obvious bait. In fact, I have already put the tracking object in the candied haws. Your every move is under my control." Xiao Leng explained slowly.
"But I'm quite curious why you stayed in Tinglanxuan for so long."
After listening to Xiao Leng's words, Liu Hu understood the whole cause and effect. He was too careless and gave the candied haws to Zhiruo without checking it. He didn't know if Zhiruo was in danger now.
"If you want to kill my boss, you have to step over my body first." Zheng Peng finally couldn't help it, and stood in front of Liu Hu with his sword, trying to block Xiao Leng and others.
"Boss, I'm sorry, I can't listen to you this time. You gave me this life. If I run away this time, I'm afraid I will never forgive myself in my life."
A gentleman will die for his friend. For Liu Hu, he can give up everything, even his life.
"Haha, as a citizen of Daqian, you don't have the emperor in your eyes, but only the Grand Tutor. This king values your talent and gives you a chance. Now put down your sword and get out of the carriage. This king can forgive the past and continue to let you be the general." Xiao Leng knew Zheng Peng's ability. Without Zheng Peng, who could command the First Corps?
How could Zheng Peng be shaken by Xiao Leng's words? He snorted coldly and said, "I have no father or mother, no brothers or sisters. It was the eldest brother who saved me from the refugees, fed me, and taught me the art of war. I want to ask, where was the emperor when the people of Daqian were starving? Where was the emperor when the people of Daqian were displaced by the enemy country?"
Hearing this, Xiao Leng was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Before, Xiao Han was indeed greedy for pleasure and didn't care about the lives of the people. If it weren't for Liu Hu, Daqian would probably no longer exist.
Seeing Xiao Leng remained silent, Zheng Peng insisted, "So, I tell you, even if you defeat the Grand Tutor today, you will not be respected. If the Grand Tutor dies, the people will rise up, and the armies of several neighboring countries will march to the border. By then, the entire Daqian will be buried with the Grand Tutor."
Zheng Peng had led troops in battles for many years, so he naturally knew that the best way to deal with two armies was to attack their hearts, so he always hit the vital points.
He also knew that even if he called his deputy general to come back for rescue, it would be too late. These people were obviously well-trained and would not give him so much time.
"I thought you were a pragmatic person, but I didn't expect you to be so eloquent." Xiao Leng thought for a long time and only replied with this sentence.
While Zheng Peng and Xiao Leng were arguing, Liu Hu took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him and quietly put his hand into his sleeve.
Taking a look outside, there were at least twenty people. It seemed that Xiao Leng came prepared!
"Boss, villains die because they talk too much. How about we do the real work first, and then enjoy ourselves?" A guard beside Xiao Leng came to his side and reminded him carefully.
This sentence was like stepping on Xiao Leng's tail. He raised his hand and slapped the man, shouting, "You are talking nonsense. My Xiao family is orthodox. I am upholding justice and eliminating harm for the people."
"But you are right. Sure enough, this traitor is cunning and wants to delay time."
In fact, Xiao Leng was right. At this time, Liu Hu was just delaying time. He hoped that Asi or Luo Fanchen could react as soon as possible.
Liu Hu was not annoyed when he was exposed, and continued: "The emperor is unjust, young and powerless, the ministers are dissatisfied, and the people are suffering. How can such an emperor become the orthodox one? Is it just because his surname is Xiao?"
"Yes, just because your surname is Xiao, this reason is enough." As soon as Xiao Leng finished speaking, Liu Hu reached out and grabbed Zheng Peng, and with his other hand he took out the small wooden block that Xuemei had given to Zhiruo from his robe. Without even looking at it, he threw out three needles.
I don’t know if it was luck or Liu Hu was naturally good at hidden weapons, but two of the three needles actually hit the guards.
The sudden change caught Xiao Leng off guard. He turned around and looked at the two guards. The place where the silver needle touched had turned black and was getting bigger and bigger.
Liu Hu didn't give Xiao Leng any time to react. As soon as he got out of the carriage, he turned the switch and continued, "Do you know that my carriage has another name, Tangya Prisoner Carriage?"
The fact that Tang Ya named this carriage after him shows how powerful it is. Tang Ya's prisoner carriage is one of the three top works of his life.
As soon as I turned the switch, I saw an iron rod as thick as a finger suddenly appear under my feet and rise into the air, turning the carriage into a mobile prison.
After Liu Hu said this, he didn't have time to think about it. He shot out the remaining silver needles from the small wooden block given by Xuemei at the same time, without caring whether he hit anyone or not. He pulled Zheng Peng and jumped, and rolled down the back mountain.
"Ah!" Xiao Leng's unwilling voice kept coming from the carriage, and the roar resounded through the sky.
He was unwilling to accept the fact that he had planned so carefully, but failed at the last moment.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and chase him." When Xiao Leng saw the iron pillar nearby, he knew that he would not be able to get out in a short time, so he immediately ordered the guards outside to take action.
Zheng Peng was pulled down the mountain by Liu Hu, and he admired Liu Hu even more in his heart.
Just now when he was in the carriage, Zheng Peng saw a large number of people practicing martial arts nearby. If he just walked, he would be easily caught up. Rolling down the mountain was the maximum speed for the two of them.
"Don't be distracted, protect your head and internal organs." Liu Hu's voice came slowly from the side. Zheng Peng felt warm in his heart. Even at this time, he was still thinking about him.
Xiao Leng's men also reacted at this time and wanted to chase after them, but there were so many trees that they didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Use hidden weapons, use hidden weapons quickly."
Someone shouted, and then these people reacted and took out their hidden weapons and started attacking Liu Hu.
Zheng Peng was wearing armor, and the hidden weapons hit his body with crackling sounds. Liu Hu was not so lucky. He usually wore a long robe, and there was no room for cushioning. The branches kept scratching his body. When Zheng Peng turned around to look at Liu Hu, Liu Hu had been hit by at least three daggers.
No one knew where Liu Hu got the strength from, but after rolling for a while, he stepped on a relatively sturdy tree, reached out with his other hand to grab Zheng Peng, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Their target is me. Keep quiet here. I'll attract their attention."
Seeing that Zheng Peng wanted to talk more, Liu Hu coughed and continued, "Don't forget to take good care of Lan Xin and her daughter. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, Liu Hu covered Zheng Peng with leaves. When he could no longer be seen, Liu Hu stood up and shouted to the people behind him, "I'm here. If you have the guts, chase me."
At this time, Zheng Peng only showed a pair of small eyes, watching Liu Hu rolling to the other direction with difficulty. The seven-foot tall man couldn't help but shed tears.
He knew that he had no martial arts skills, and in this situation, two people would be too conspicuous. He clenched his fists tightly and made a secret decision in his heart that if the boss could not come back this time, he would lead the First Corps, march straight in, attack Huanglong, and kill an emperor to bury him with the boss.
