Nine dozen bets on 4

As the two were talking, they suddenly saw Chen Ziming running over and said, "Report to the sect leader, the spies of the Gu clan have been found in Guizhou City, and now Zhong Zuo and Zhao Ming are leading people to arrest them." ”

When Yang Yan heard this, he was also taken aback, this must be Ling Xiang's whereabouts discovered by the Manichaeans. This is a Manichaean place, what can be done to save them?

Zhong Ziang nodded and said to Yang Yan: "Let's go, it's good for you to go with me to have a look." This hit Yang Yan's heart again, and he nodded immediately. The three of them went up to the room and flew towards the place of turmoil.

Chen Ziming is known as the Wing King, but his light skills are a must, and it is effortless to follow Zhong Ziang. However, he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that Yang Yan was young and didn't look amazing, and that Jing could keep up with himself and the sect leader's body steadily, although he and Zhong Ziang didn't do their best, but even if this speed could keep up with no more than ten people in Manichaeism, Yang Yan's appearance seemed to have enough energy to spare. I don't think I'm underestimating Yang Yan. The sect leader invited him to join the sect, which did make some sense.

After a short time, the three of them came to the place where the accident occurred, and saw that surrounded by hundreds of Manichaean people, about a dozen people were forming a circle and trying their best to resist. But almost all of them had blood on them, and it didn't look like they were going to last long. However, the rest of the Manichaeans also besieged it. They all looked at one person, holding a long sword in their hands, and they were fighting fiercely with Zhao Cao.

That person was none other than Ling Xiang, and the long sword in his hand swung like a gathering storm, attacking Zhao Cao continuously. Zhao Cao also danced the crescent cane, and for a while, the two were evenly matched. Zhong Shi only watched the battle in Yiyi, and the other sect members did not come up to help, it turned out that Zhao Cao's self-respecting identity, and seeing that the overall situation had been decided, they couldn't escape, so they insisted on not wanting anyone to help, and fought alone with Ling Xiang to divide the victory and defeat.

Zhong Ziyu frowned slightly, obviously very dissatisfied with his own situation when he also had an advantage, and he had to live according to the rules of the rivers and lakes with his opponent, and he was fighting alone. However, he also knew that the main leaders of Manichaeism were basically people in the rivers and lakes, and they often carried the habits of the people in the rivers and lakes in their actions, but they did not know that this was a struggle for hegemony in the world, and there were still so many rules and regulations on the battlefield. This is also the reason why he wholeheartedly wants Yang Yan to join Manichaeism, people like Yang Yan who have been officials and fought wars are what Manichaeism needs most now.

Zhong Ziang shouted, "King Zhao Ming, come back." ”

Zhao Cao was fighting fiercely, and when he heard the sect leader call him back, he immediately shook his head, jumped back, and retreated. When Ling Xiang saw him retreating, he didn't chase after him, but only retreated into his own circle. Although Zhong Ziang was dissatisfied with their adherence to the rules of the rivers and lakes, he was very dissatisfied, but this was not the time to blame them, so he would catch this gang of spies first. He was about to order a group to attack, but Yang Yan suddenly came out of the crowd and said, "Sect Master Zhong, slow down."

Ling Xiang was also very surprised when he saw Yang Yan suddenly appear, but at this time, he could only wait and see what happened. In fact, Yang Yan didn't know what to say? It's just that now, whether Zhong Ziyu ordered to attack in groups, or Zhong Ziyu himself, Ling Xiang and them were probably invincible, so they were desperate and came out.

Zhong Ziang said: "Oh? What's the matter with you? ”

Seeing Zhong Ziyu asking himself, Yang Yan could only bite the bullet and say: "Sect Master Zhong, they are all my friends, and I also ask Sect Master Zhong's subordinates to show mercy and let them live." "That being said, in fact, Yang Yan himself has no illusions about Zhong Ziang. He also made up his mind, if Zhong Ziang refused, he would fight side by side with Ling Xiang and them, although he and Ling Xiang knew each other, but they had already regarded him as a good friend, they must not watch Ling Xiang be killed by Manichaeism in front of his eyes like this.

Zhong Ziang listened to it and was also a little admired. Yang Yanzhi is a very high-spirited person. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Okay, since they are your good friends, I will open the net, as long as they are willing to join my Manichaeism, I will spare them, and I will also entrust them with important tasks." ”

When Yang Yan heard this, he suddenly thought of an idea and said, "Sect Master Zhong, can I go and discuss it with them?" ”

Zhong Ziang laughed and said, "Naturally." ”

Yang Yan nodded and walked in front of Ling Xiang. In fact, Ling Xiang and the others had already heard the conversation between him and Zhong Ziang just now, and now although they didn't know what Yang Yan was on, they would rather die than surrender. Ling Xiang said: "Brother Wan, we all understand your kindness, but you don't need to say more, we will never join Manichaeism." His other dozen juniors nodded in agreement.

Yang Yan said: "You listen to me." Then in Ling Xiang's ear, he whispered a few words.

Ling Xiang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said, "Is this really okay?" ”

Yang Yan said: "No matter what, you can also give it a try." ”

Ling Xiang nodded and said, "Okay, I believe in you, just do as you say." ”

The two of them whispered just now, and the voice was so small that Zhong Ziang and the others couldn't hear it clearly. Seeing Yang Yan coming from their side, Zhong Ziang asked, "Yang Yan, how did you discuss it with them?" ”

Yang Yan said: "Sect Master Zhong, I'll make a bet with you, do you dare to bet?" ”

Zhong Ziang was a little surprised, and said, "What are you betting on?" Let's talk about it. ”

Yang Yan said: "Sect Leader Zhong, if I am not mistaken, you are gathering troops in Guizhou this time, and you are planning to capture Yongzhou." ”

Zhong Ziang was slightly stunned and said, "Yes, it's to capture Yongzhou, so what?"

Yang Yan said: "Since we are going to capture Yongzhou, then the first thing to do is naturally Hengshan." Does Sect Master Zhong think that the Manichaeans will be able to successfully capture Hengshan?"

Zhong Ziang laughed and said: "That's nature, Hengshan is my ambition." If we can't capture even a small Hengshan Fortress, what else can I talk about attacking the whole of Quang Nam? ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Okay, Sect Leader Zhong, this is what I want to bet with you." If you let them go, as soon as they and I go to garrison Hengshan, within a month, if you capture Hengshan, not only them, but I am also willing to join Manichaeism, you think it's good. ”

"Oh!" Zhong Ziang didn't expect Yang Yan to propose such a bet. However, this time he was indeed determined to attack Hengshan, and now Yijing had gathered fifty or sixty thousand troops in Guizhou. And it has been found out that there are not many defenders in Hengshan, only four or five thousand people. The other Song armies were pinned down by the Manichaean army, and they were unable to support Hengshan. In addition, some time ago, the Manichaean army attacked the city and seized the land all the way, and almost all of them went smoothly, which also made Zhong Ziang full of confidence in capturing Hengshan this time. Moreover, now that the Manichaean army has basically been assembled, it can be drawn at any time, even if they are allowed to go back and send a letter to the defenders of Hengshan, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. How useful can these people be to defend the city?

Thinking of this, Zhong Ziang looked back at his sect members, Zhong Shi, Zhao Cao, Chen Ziming and others all looked at him intently, as if waiting for him to make a decision. Zhong Ziyu suddenly said to Ling Xiang and them, "Do you all agree with Yang Yan's words? ”

Although Ling Xiang felt very strange that Yang Yan had suddenly changed his name, he was inconvenient to ask at this time, and replied: "What he said is what we want to say, and we all agree that as long as Sect Master Zhong captures Hengshan within a month, we will join the Manichaeism." In fact, they knew that this was the only way to leave Guizhou City alive today, and they could agree to any gambling contract first. If the Manichaean army really captured Hengshan within a month, then they would have died in the battle at Hengshan and would not have joined Manichaeism, and they would have lived for one more month.

Zhong Ziang let out a long laugh and said, "Okay, Yang Yan, the old man will make a bet with you." Within a month, the old man will definitely capture Hengshan, and at that time, you must not break your promise. ”

In fact, he also knew in his heart that even if he captured Hengshan within a month, Ling Xiang and his group would never join Manichaeism. However, he felt that this bet could be won without losing, and he could take this opportunity to try whether he could let Yang Yan join Manichaeism, because he promised Yang Yan in person that he would let him come and go freely, so he naturally did not want to break his promise. Moreover, the capture of Hengshan is undoubtedly to prove to Yang Yan that Manichaeism is capable of conquering the entire Guangnan, and at that time, Yang Yan will definitely sincerely join Manichaeism.

Yang Yan said: "Sect Master Zhong, we will never break our word. ”

Zhong Ziang nodded and said loudly: "Get out of the way and let them out of the city." ”

Yang Yan then thought that his BMW Hai Dongqing was still in the city and wanted to take it out, and no matter if he wanted to say goodbye to Zhong Xinhuan, he said to Ling Xiang: "Brother Ling, I still have a little thing to take, you go out of the city first and wait for me outside the city." ”

Ling Xiang nodded and said, "Okay, you have to be careful yourself." We're waiting for you outside the city. Thinking that since Zhong Ziyu let himself out of the city, he would definitely not embarrass Yang Yan, so he took his junior disciples out of the city first.

Zhong Xinhuan's tears rolled in his eyes, and he said, "Brother Yang, are you really leaving?" The two little tigers also seemed to know that Yang Yan was leaving, and lay on Yang Yan's feet, "Woo, woo" really screamed.

Yang Yan sighed, he was not a slow person to react, in the past few days, he also vaguely felt Zhong Xinhuan's affection for him, but it was impossible for him to join Manichaeism, and he didn't want to hurt Zhong Xinhuan, taking advantage of her young age, he left her like this, and it was better to understand this relationship early. I had to say: "Xiaohuan, take care of yourself." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned over and got on the horse, shook the reins, Hai Dongqing let out a long hiss, withdrew his four hooves and galloped away. Zhong Xinhuan chased a few steps behind, but finally stopped, and tears finally burst out of his eyes.

Zhong Xinyu walked from behind her, patted her shoulder gently, sighed, and said, "Xiaohuan, he has already left, let's forget him." ”

Zhong Xinhuai threw herself into her arms and cried loudly.
