"Ugh!" Huan Fei turned his head to look at Li Zhi in shock, but saw that his expression was calm, as if he was serious, not a lie.

Immediately, he asked suspiciously: "Zicheng is serious, isn't he fooling me?" ”

Li Zhi looked at Huan Fei and nodded solemnly, without any explanation.

"That's ??????" Seeing Li Zhi's expression, Huan Fei couldn't help but be moved, and Gu Zi groaned, obviously already a little moved.

Seeing Huan Fei thinking about it, Li Li and Li Zhi looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

In fact, Li Li is also happy to hunt and cherish He Man's extremely rare martial arts talent; Therefore, he said casually that he didn't really want to take He Man under his command, nor did he really want Huan Fei to take him as an apprentice. However, when Huan Fei heard this, he immediately believed it and asked Li Zhi for confirmation. This move undoubtedly shows that Huan Fei has been moved, and Li Zhi, who knows Li Li's intentions, pushes the boat down the river, and then says a few pertinent words, which makes Huan Fei's heart pound.

unintentionally inserted willows and willows, and Li Li was naturally happy to see the He brothers under his command.

After all, there are 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the He brothers, which is the largest Yellow Turban Army in Shili in Yuzhou, and the He brothers are also remarkable, and they are not useless people. And what Li Li values most about the He brothers now is the number of soldiers and horses under their command, 20,000 or 30,000 people are equivalent to the total population of a county in Yongzhou; If all these people are recruited under his command, regardless of the combat strength of the Gepi Yellow Turban Army, these tens of thousands of strong men alone will also be a great gain in this travel.

It is for this reason that Li Li joked that Huan Fei accepted the apprentice, but he didn't think that Huan Fei had this intention, so Li Zhi said another word to help one or two, and he successfully promoted the matter.

????????????

The remnant sun is like blood. Nearing one’s end.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, outside the West Gate, a fierce battle is in full swing,

Between people and horses, the four people who caught and killed each other in front of the battle had been fighting fiercely for nearly an hour, and the two sides had fought viciously for more than 50 rounds, but there was still no winner or loser.

However, the energy consumption of both sides is extremely high. So far, Xu Ding and He Yi, who are slightly inferior in strength, have been sweating profusely, their heads exuding heat, and beads of sweat are falling like rain. Apparently. These two are at the end of their crossbows, and the two sides are fighting fiercely so far, and the victory is about to be decided.

Compared with Xu Ding and He Yi, the battle between Xu Chu and He Man not far away was fierce, and the fighting became more and more intense. It's hard to tell.

If it is said that the battle between Xu Ding and He Yi is half a catty and half a tael, and the victory and defeat are half and half, then the battle between Xu Chu and He Man is a fierce battle between chess opponents and good talents.

Again, that's the same sentence. Martial arts alone. The two He Mans tied together are not Xu Chu's opponents. However, a fierce and crazy He Man who was almost as fierce as a beast was far from being comparable to two normal He Mans, which was enough for Xu Chu to fight with him with all his might. Moreover, during the battle, Xu Chu did not dare to be negligent at all. You have to be up and give it a go.

"Click!"

The two horses staggered past, and Xu Chu and He Man distanced themselves again, giving them a chance to breathe.

After this round. The two sides have been battling each other for sixty rounds.

In the past battles between the two sides, He Man could fight with Xu Chu for a maximum of forty or fifty rounds, and it would be difficult to continue.

It's only been three months since the two last met, but He Man has improved again, so much so that after 60 rounds of fierce fighting between the two sides, he is still fighting high and still has the strength to fight again. And this is precisely what Xu Chu admires He Man the most, and it is also the reason why he has fought with He Man many times, but he has repeatedly shown mercy to his subordinates.

Speaking of roots, Xu Chu himself is a martial and extremely warlike person, staying in the village all year round and doing nothing, and he is also extremely eager to meet a powerful opponent. In the past two years, although the Gepi Yellow Turban thieves have repeatedly violated the border, causing Xujiazhuang's livelihood to be difficult, the He brothers did not condone their subordinates to wantonly kill Xujiazhuang and the surrounding people. This alone is extremely valuable among the more than ten yellow turban thieves.

And Xu Chu would go out of the city every time to duel with the He brothers, not just to resist the robbery of the Yellow Turban Thieves, but to have a great battle with He Man. It's just that there are many complicated factors mixed in between them, so that they are not friends who learn martial arts, but enemies who fight for life and death.

Despite this, with Xu Chu's strong martial arts, he was fully capable of killing He Man, but he did not do so for a long time. Because within a radius of hundreds of miles from Gebei, there are really few opponents who can really let him go, and there are really few or even no opponents in the big battle.

As the saying goes: the master is lonely, and the opponent is hard to find.

This sentence is used on Xu Chu, which is the most haode interpretation.

Because of this, he showed mercy to his enemies again and again, prompting a rude and reckless man like He Man to grow into a fierce opponent with very strong combat power.

In addition, the reason why Xu Chu did this was not simply to find an opponent, but because of the extremely bad situation in Runan and Peiguo, he had to do so.

And today, under the chaos, the princes are divided, the Han Dynasty is everywhere, and Yuzhou, which is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, is even more rampant with bandits, and there is no stable and peaceful place at all. Runan County is the largest county in Yuzhou, with as many as 37 counties under its jurisdiction, and is located in the hinterland of Yuzhou, occupying almost half of Yuzhou.

After the chaos in the world, the Yellow Turban thieves in Runan were rampant, as many as more than ten bandits shili, and their tentacles spread all over the territory of Yuzhou.

It is precisely based on such an extremely harsh external environment that if Xujiazhuang wants to survive in the place where the Yellow Turban Thieves are rampant, he must compromise with the Yellow Turban Thieves and survive in the cracks. And Xu Chu knew this clearly, so he chose to compromise with the Gepi Yellow Turban Thief, and tried his best to deal with the He brothers for two years, so as to protect Xujiazhuang from being looted by thieves.

Therefore, although Xu Chu has the ability to kill the He brothers, in order to take into account the overall situation and protect the people in the village from bullying, he has no choice but to make false accusations and seek perfection. If he only wanted to kill the He brothers for a while, then the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Thieves in Gebi would lose control, and the leaders of more than ten Yellow Turban Thieves in the Runan area would take the opportunity to annex the Yellow Turban Thieves in Gepi. At that time, the situation faced by Xujiazhuang will be even more severe, and it will even lead to annihilation, and the village that has been in line for a hundred years will be completely destroyed by the hands of the Yellow Turban thieves. This kind of ending is by no means what Xu Chu and the people of Xujiazhuang want to see, and in any case, they cannot fall into a desperate situation for nearly 10,000 people. The village was destroyed and people died.

"Da Da Da!"

Returning to the horse and turning around, Xu Chu clearly felt that He Man's martial arts had grown rapidly, and he had already posed a threat to himself and his eldest brother Xu Ding, and if he didn't get rid of him, he was afraid that he would become even more powerful in the future. Once He Man's martial arts gradually form a routine, at that time, if you want to get rid of him, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. However, as soon as he thought of the large number of villagers in the village, Xu Chu immediately extinguished this thought. A long-term view is still needed.

"Kill!"

The two sides returned to fight again. But seeing He Man Lema turn around, the iron rod in his hand was pulled into a semicircle, and he shouted violently, and hedged against Xu Chu again. As he galloped, he still clasped his legs around the belly of the horse as before. Picked up the iron rod with both hands, trying to give Xu Chu a blow to the head.

However. Xu Chu, who had already figured out He Man's attack moves. This time, he turned back to his horse in a hurry, and even stopped his horse, he did not charge his horse as before. Holding the reins with one hand, he looked coldly at He Man, who was rushing dozens of steps away, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that He Yi had already lost to his eldest brother Xu Ding, and he was about to be defeated. After seeing this scene. Xu Chu immediately did not plan to continue the endless fight with He Man, and he had to divide the winner as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble.

As soon as he thought of this, he saw Xu Chu holding the reins with one hand. Holding the nine-ring golden-backed war knife upside down in his right hand, he stopped in place, squinting his eyes slightly and measuring the distance of He Man's horse.

Twenty steps, fifteen steps, ten steps.

Sigh!

Until he was only five steps away from He Man, he saw that Xu Chu's left hand, which had already held the reins of the horse, suddenly pulled the reins, causing the war horse under the seat to scream in shock. At the moment when the war horse stood up, Xu Chu's long-standing right-hand combat knife shook his wrist, and the blade suddenly flipped over. Immediately, but seeing his body leaning sideways and attaching his body behind the horse's body, his right arm instantly exerted his strength, shook his arm, and the Zhangwu sword smashed the sand and stones on the ground and instantly rose into the air, straight to He Man's chest and slashed diagonally from the bottom to the top.

In an instant, He Man, who was holding the iron rod high, didn't have time to change his moves, and the running speed of the war horse under his crotch had reached the extreme, and he couldn't immediately turn to avoid it.

In the light of light, in the face of Xu Chu's horizontal knife that immediately broke through the air, He Man knew that he couldn't avoid it, and he didn't have time to change his moves. In a hurry, I saw that the iron rod he had already picked up was undiminished, and the right foot that stepped on the unilateral stirrup suddenly exerted force, and the body quickly broke away from the horse's back, jumped into the air, and held the stick in both hands, and smashed it into the war horse standing up under Xu Chu's seat.

This is a horse-for-horse, lose-lose battle.

Xu Chu knew that He Man's riding skills were not perfect, and he couldn't rein in the charge and turn his horse; Therefore, he stood still, intending to use the war horse held high in front of him to cover himself from damage, and then use a mortal sword. And He Man is certainly not good at riding and can't rein in the horse to turn on the spot, but he is a ruthless character who is not afraid of death and dares to fight hard. Forced into desperation, He Man rose into the air, preferring to abandon the war horse, and even hurt himself, but he was desperate, picked up the iron rod with all his strength, and vowed to smash the war horse in front of him and Xu Chu behind the war horse with a stick.

The moves of the two sides have been released, and it is really difficult to change the moves temporarily, and it is bound to become a tiger.

"Poof!" Immediately, two dull sounds of sharps breaking the body sounded at the same time, and the two sounded into one. In the thud, the plasma burst out, splashing more than a foot high, and the momentum was amazing. In the blood mist, the two war horses didn't even have time to let out a mournful roar, and they fell into a pool of blood.

"Bang, bang?????"

At the moment when the war horse fell, after the war knife swung by Xu Chu Zhen's arm slashed the war horse under He Man's crotch, it was still undiminished, and the tip of the knife instantly cut through He Man's left leg and pierced the armor, leaving a deep bone wound more than an inch long. And after He Man used the iron rod he picked up with all his strength to smash the head of the war horse in front of Xu Chu, he also had residual strength, and even hit Xu Chu's left back, so that the battle armor and bones creaked. After the attack, Xu Chu and He Man flew out upside down with their bodies tilted. However, these two people are tough guys, and in the process of flying upside down, they did not forget to turn around in the air, and their feet landed first, and their steps were extremely twisted and they took more than ten steps back in a row, so that they could hardly stabilize their bodies and stand upright.

Horses for horses, fighting for lives, both sides are ruthless characters!

After the blood mist dissipated, on the battlefield in front of the battle, among the four people who had just fought fiercely, only Xu Ding was still sitting on horseback with a knife, while the other three were all fighting on the ground, and their feet were full of hot plasma.

However, the standing postures of the three people on the ground were different. Xu Chu's cheeks flushed slightly and stood with a knife, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and the black chain armor on his body was already loose, twisted and hung diagonally on his right shoulder. And He Yi, who fought with Xu Ding, was completely defeated, with bright red blood stains on the corners of his mouth on both sides, kneeling on one knee, looking very embarrassed. Looking at He Man, whose left leg was cut by Xu Chu, his cheeks were dark red and blue, the armor on his body was already scattered on the ground, and the knife wound on his left thigh was bleeding blood, but he ignored it, and there was no pain on his face. He pestled the iron rod on the ground, held the iron rod tightly with both hands, stood straight, and stared at Xu Chu who was more than ten steps away with wide eyes.

At this point, although the battle is a lose-lose situation, the victory and defeat have been divided.

The Xu brothers are skilled, Xu Ding defeated He Yi, and although Xu Chu was tied with He Man, in the eyes of those who don't know, He Man's left leg was injured, and it was indeed Xu Chu who was slightly better. In contrast, the Xu brothers were clearly the victors in the battle, while the Ho brothers were defeated, and both brothers were injured.

"The victory has been decided, do you want to continue to fight with my two brothers?"

After a moment, Xu Chu opened his mouth to break the silence, shaking his shoulders as he spoke, and his upper body bones gurgled. Obviously, although he was hit by He Man on the left side of his back, it was fine. However, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly twice as he shook his shoulders, but this action was masked by his voice and was not noticed by the He brothers.

Seeing that none of the Xu brothers were injured, He Yi stood up straight with the spear, raised his hand to wipe the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, and said in a gloomy voice: "This battle was lost by our brothers, and you won." Willing to gamble and lose, according to the pre-war agreement, you have no grain on the farm, and you are willing to use ten ploughing cattle to compensate for the grain, so take the ploughing cattle out now! As long as you fulfill your promise, we will never embarrass you, and within three months, my Gepi Yellow Turban Army will no longer attack Xujiazhuang! ”

Hearing this, Xu Chu immediately continued: "Okay, Leader He Yi is quick to talk, which makes Xu admire!" ”

"Wait!" Before Xu Chu's words fell, He Man suddenly said: "Xu Manzi, I have no objection to exchanging a thousand stones of grain for ten ploughing cattle." However, you still have to pay me a good war horse, otherwise you will 、、、、、、"

"Shut up!" Without waiting for He Man to finish speaking, Xu Chu immediately shouted angrily: "He Manpifu, you are obviously inching in, messing around!" Yes, your mount died under the sword of someone Xu, but you also killed my mount, so what? ”
