Chapter 179 Inland River
Wei Cheng's martial arts skills are not bad at all, but they pale in comparison to Li Wanbao's. Within a few seconds, he was in danger. If he didn't pay attention, he would be kicked to the ground by Li Wanbao. The latter then stepped forward and swung his sword violently.
At this moment, someone suddenly blocked Li Wanbao's sword with a sword.
This time, even Li Wanbao himself was quite surprised. You must know that his arm strength is amazing and his sword skills are ferocious. It is difficult for ordinary people to take his own blow. This shows that the opponent's martial arts is quite solid. Li Wanbao turned around and saw that the person who struck was actually a second-hand fighter.
A young man in his early teens, with bright eyes and a rather heroic appearance.
"Sima, be careful, this guy is difficult to deal with!" At this time, Wei Cheng on the ground shouted loudly. He meant well, but unexpectedly, Luo Tianbao's identity was exposed. Li Wanbao couldn't help but hear that this young man was Lin Yunfei's son.
He was overjoyed and thought that he couldn't escape today, but it was worth it if he could hold Luo Tianbao on his back before he died. Thinking of this, he launched a fierce attack on Luo Tianbao, making it clear that he would kill him.
Originally, it was not necessary for Luo Tianbao to personally come forward to capture Li Wanbao, but he had heard about the "Blood Claw Wolf King"'s martial arts skills and was afraid that he would be difficult to deal with, so he came specifically to follow him. Even so, Yu Feng repeatedly advised him not to do it himself.
Luo Tianbao listened at first, but later when he saw Wei Cheng was in danger, Luo Tianbao couldn't help but take action. As a result, Luo Tianbao couldn't help being surprised. He originally thought that Li Wanbao was just relying on his brute force.
Unexpectedly, when he saw that his sword skills were strong and swift, they were obviously taught by masters and seemed to have the skills of a swordsman. Luo Tianbao's abilities were obviously inferior compared to them. He couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have done so.
He took action rashly, but now that he had no way to retreat, he had to fight with all his strength.
Li Wanbao originally looked at Luo Tianbao, thinking that he was just a young man, and didn't take him seriously at all. But as the fight lasted, Li Wanbao couldn't help but be surprised. He saw that Luo Tianbao's moves were exquisite and he had a solid foundation.
In the rush, it was still difficult to win. Li Wanbao was originally in a passive situation, but now he couldn't help but become more anxious. As a result, he was careless and didn't pay attention to his surroundings. At this time, someone nearby fired an arrow, which hit Li Wanbao's left eye.
, so fierce that he couldn't help but feel the pain and jumped away with the sword. Seeing an opportunity, Luo Tianbao immediately pierced Li Wanbao's chest with his sword.
"Ah!" Li Wanbao screamed at this time, and then he beat Luo Tianbao out with a wave of his hand. Thanks to the sharp eyesight of the other rebel soldiers who quickly caught him, Luo Tianbao was fine. At this time, he only saw Li Wanbao's hair.
He yelled and screamed like crazy, and finally stumbled and fell to the ground. Luo Tianbao's sword was still nailed tightly to his body. It took a long time before everyone dared to come forward to check, and finally they were convinced that Li Wanbao was dead.
Only then did Luo Tianbao let out a sigh of relief, and Yu Feng and others hurriedly came to ask about his situation.
"Sima, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's just a scratch." Luo Tianbao said as he glanced at Yu Feng and found that the other person was holding a bow. Luo Tianbao suddenly understood.
"Did you shoot that arrow just now?"
"The general is in a hurry at the moment. I hope Sima will not be offended."
"Then how could it be? You saved my life, how could I blame you? I will reward you when I go back, but I can't think of talking about this right now. I ordered everyone to search around and don't let these bandits go easily.
"
After everyone heard the order, they immediately accepted the order. After a night of fighting against the rebels, they finally successfully occupied Dalang Mountain. After counting all the bandit leaders, they were all dead. Only one of Li Wanbao's sisters was missing.
When Tianbao asked about the young girl, he didn't take it to heart at the time. He never thought that this would plant a huge disaster for himself in the future.
At dawn, Luo Tianbao interrogated the prisoners in the Juyi Hall. Among them, Tian Gui was the most knowledgeable. He saw that the situation was over, so he did not hide it. Luo Tianbao answered whatever he asked, and only then did everyone understand the whole story.
"Why do you, Great Wolf Mountain, want to deal with us?"
"This is what Dayou Army meant. They heard that you were invading Hezhou in a big way, but there was no army to mobilize for a while, so they roped in us and several nearby mountains to join forces to deal with you. The second boss before... that is
Chang San went down the mountain to spy on your military situation and found out that he came and went safely. He looked down on you a little, saying that it was nothing more than defeating the rebels. He didn't need several mountains to join forces to encircle and suppress you. He could take your life, Sima, with his own strength. We are the masters.
I agreed, and that’s what happened next.”
"Then besides you, who else is involved in this matter?"
"Erlong Mountain in the west, Laohukou in the south, and Wulonggang in the southeast. Together, there are enough people."
"Who's in the lead?"
"She's some kind of Dongzhou defense envoy from Dayou Army. She's a woman, her name is Shen Hexi. I heard she's from Boli, and she's very skilled in martial arts."
Luo Tianbao knew that Boli was located in the northeast of the mainland. It was once a powerful country. It was conquered by the imperial court decades ago. Later, a large number of Boli people moved to the inland, especially in the north. The Boli people have two major characteristics. One is that they often
They were both beautiful and brave, so after the Boli people moved inland, women often worked as slaves, dancers, and the like. At that time, the rich and powerful families were proud to have Boli girls.
Most of the men from Boli were absorbed into the army, especially when King Youyun recruited a large number of foreigners in the north, and naturally there were also Boli people among them. Therefore, Luo Tianbao basically believed this information.
"Then where is this Shen Hexi now?"
"The Neihe River is the largest stronghold of the Great You Army on the north bank of the river. We from the top of the mountain go there to contact her on weekdays."
"How many Dayou troops are there in Neihe?"
"It's claimed to be one thousand, but in fact it's only seven hundred at most."
"how do you know?"
"I have sent them supplies several times before on the orders of the head master, and I have become familiar with their people who are in charge of money and food. They talk to me through private conversations."
Luo Tianbao couldn't help but fell into deep thought after hearing this. He began to recall the map of the nearby area in his mind. If he wanted to attack Hezhou, he had to cross the river. Among them, the inland river was closest to the south bank and the dock was the largest. Originally, this was a shortcut to crossing the river, but because he knew before
The Dayou army was heavily guarded there, and the rebel army did not dare to cross the river from here. But now after hearing what Tian Gui said, Luo Tianbao suddenly had a new idea.
"Tian Gui, tell me the truth, do you want to die or live?"
"Look at what you said, how many people have nothing to do and don't want to live?"
"Well, if I give you a chance to make meritorious deeds, will you do it?"
"Fuck, as long as you can spare my life, I can do anything you want!"
"Well, listen to me and tell you in detail." Then Luo Tianbao expressed his idea.
The news that Dalang Mountain was breached reached Neihe City not long after. Shen Hexi was shocked to learn all this. Although she expected that the rebel army would be difficult to deal with, she did not expect that the opponent would move so quickly. Dalang Mountain was the largest nearby.
