(Thank you nwb1234 and ethereal ¢ wind for their monthly ticket support, thank you!) ）

The rain became heavier, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, splashing countless muddy water. Dirty rainwater collects dust from the road into the canals along the streets.

In the heavy rain, a rapid war horse's iron hooves knocked on the main road in the north and south of Gaoling City, which was a bluestone slab.

"What people!" Chen Duo shouted loudly!

There was a hint of alarm and a hint of panic in his hoarse voice, the city gate had already been closed, and at this time, the sound of the iron hooves of war horses suddenly sounded in the city. At this moment, a group of knights rushed out of the rain and mist, this is a group of knights dressed in no battle robes, they are wearing brown linen clothes, but the horses that straddle are majestic.

Chen Duo saw that these people were neither the soldiers and horses of the towns outside the city, nor the Shence Army or the officials in Gaoling County. He didn't have time to count them, but at least fifty or more horsemen. These men did not wear iron armor, nor did they carry bows and crossbows, not even spears. But everyone was holding a bright and flickering long sword, which was not a three-foot sword like a horizontal sword, but a two-handed sword of four feet or even five feet.

"On the left, too!" With a shout behind him, Chen Duo realized that a group of cavalry also rushed from the left and right, and there were also dozens of horses.

"No Progress!" Chen Duo shouted, and the horizontal knife in his hand was already out of its sheath.

This was another cavalry arrival, and there were also dozens of horsemen. A lean old man with gray hair and more than half a hundred years old, carrying a dark iron long sword on his back, rode straight towards him.

"Where did you come from, an old man who doesn't know the rules, the gods are doing things for the army, and it is forbidden to move forward!"

"Where did the vicious dog bark!" Immediately, Xin Yan snorted coldly. The rain soaked his clothes. But he still couldn't hide his anger. "It's a pity it's just a pack of vicious dogs. Dare to bully others! ”

The mountain monk immediately stepped forward and shouted: "What evidence do you have to say that you are the Divine Ce Army, I have never seen the Divine Ce Army with a hidden head and a face. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, you dare to pretend to be a forbidden army and besiege the Son of Heaven, you are looking for death! ”

"The Son of Heaven?" The sound of the horses' hooves was drowned out by the heavy rain, and a group of black-clothed knights came up to meet him, blocking Xin Yan's way. One of the Black Knights. It was Feng Chuang who was escorted by the Shence Army, and he commanded the operation of the Shence Army this time. He smiled coldly and roared unruly: "It may have been before, but now, it is estimated that he will be called the former marshal." ”

"Are you really crazy?" The mountain monk said, "Immediately withdraw your soldiers and horses, it is better for us to make this matter clear, and you know the consequences of the Dao." ”

"No need to talk nonsense with them, he knows exactly what he's doing." Xin Yan said very calmly.

Feng Chuang smiled and said, "This is true. But there is a way in heaven that you don't take. There is no door to hell for you to break into. Now that you're here, do you think you'll leave alive? Before dying. You may report your name, and I will not die under my sword, a nameless ghost. ”

"Sizhou Xinyan!" Xin Yan said coldly.

Hearing this name, Feng Chuang couldn't help but change color, and even the Divine Ce Army behind him shook.

It's really so legendary that the person who hears it doesn't change color.

"Xinyan? You are the king of Jincheng County, the grandson of Yin Xin Yunjing of Taiyuan? Six years ago, during the Pang Xun Rebellion, he went to Sizhou, which was surrounded by the rebels, and went to Sizhou to move the soldiers and borrow grain twelve times. Feng Chuang asked in surprise, his tone full of disbelief.

Xin Yan pulled out the Darkiron Sword from its sheath and kicked his horse forward.

"Since I know my name, I should know my name, and I will never turn a blind eye to what is in front of me. Draw your sword, although I would like to kill you immediately for those of you who are supposed to defend your country but have now become the lackeys of some people, I would rather you die with a weapon in your hand. He glanced at Feng Chuang coldly and lightly, "If you still have a little conscience in your heart, or if you don't want to die under my sword, then you are in a hurry to lead the troops to withdraw now." Li Jieshuai of the Zhenguo Army fought for the country and entered Beijing in triumph, you still dare to murder the loyal ministers of the country, you must first ask me the long sword in Xin Yan's hand. ”

Feng Chuang's face was ugly, Xin Yan's name was too loud, especially after the Battle of Sizhou, he was known all over the world, called the first swordsman of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Zhongjian, the bearded guest in the Three Heroes of the Sui Dynasty, and some people even ranked him with Guo Jie, the hero of the Han Dynasty.

Don't look at Xin Yan's figure is not tall, and he looks a little lean, but he has been practicing swords since he was a child, although his grandfather was the king and worshiped the prime minister, but he has always refused to enter the office, until he was fifty years old, he has been carrying a sword and acting chivalrous. It wasn't until the Pang Xun Rebellion six years ago that the rebels besieged Sizhou. At that time, Xin Yan's friend Du Xian guarded Sizhou for the history of Sizhou, and after Xin Yan learned that his friend was surrounded, he broke into Sizhou with a single sword, ready to take his friend to break through.

Du Yu is the grandson of Du You, the prime minister of the Dezong Dynasty, the younger brother of Du Yi, the prime minister of the Wuzong Dynasty, and the cousin of the great poet Du Mu. The prime minister's family, after the famous family, is very general. After listening to Xin Yan's persuasion, he said angrily: I usually sit and eat Junlu, but once I am in trouble, I will abandon the city and the people, let the thieves kill and plunder, and lose the king and the country. Is this what I did? I swear to die with the soldiers in this city! Xin Yan was moved when he heard this, and suddenly said: The public can be like this, and I am willing to die in this city with the public. But I still need to go home and say goodbye to my wife. Then he said goodbye to Du Xian and returned to his home in Guangling to say goodbye to his wife.

Xin Yan returned to Sizhou after returning home to say goodbye, at this time Pang Xun General Li Yuan had received reinforcements of 10,000 people and surrounded the small Sizhou. The people helped the old and the young to flee the war to the east, and only Xin Yan and an old man went west. Some people who knew Xin Yan persuaded him to go back quickly and not to send him to death, but Xin Yan smiled and did not answer. When I arrived at the city of Sizhou, I saw that the Pang army had blocked the water around Sizhou. He entered the city by the west gate of the water in a small boat.

Xin Yan entered Sizhou, when the rebels surrounded Sizhou, and there were few soldiers and food in the city. Xin Yan broke out of the siege twelve times before and after, and went to various towns to move rescue soldiers and borrow food.

After the rebellion of Favor Xun was pacified, Xin Yan served as the judge of the Sizhou regiment, and then successively served as Haozhou, Caozhou, and Sizhou three states of the assassin history, and now the Sizhou assassin history has just expired, and the fifty-six-year-old Xin Yan was recalled by the imperial court to Beijing to serve as a standby.

Yesterday when it was dark, Xin Yan arrived at Gaoling with two nephews and a guard of one hundred and fifty men, as well as his disciples and grandsons who had followed him to learn the sword. Because Xin Yan kept a low profile all the way and did not report to the official, no one knew his identity.

Now that Xin Yan is out halfway, Feng Chuang is in a dilemma. However, in the end, he still gritted his teeth and said to Xin Yan: "In the battle of Sizhou, the heroic spirit shown by Xin Gong was admired by the people of the world, and he was also admired by the people. But now I have to get out of the way, but I can't. I have a duty in hand, sorry! ”

Xin Yan's guards and disciples drew their long swords one after another, and more than a hundred horsemen faced hundreds of Praetorian Guards, but none of them retreated.

Feng Chuang had more than 1,000 people under his command, and in addition to the men and horses who attacked Didian, he still had 500 people on this periphery. Although Xin Yan's prestige is well-known, he thinks that with fewer strikes, they are not without opportunities. "Xin Zhijun, even if you kill me, can you kill all my brothers? And you should know in your heart who we are working for. For the sake of Li Jing, who you don't know, offended that nobleman, do you think it's worth it? If you can give a face and let it go, we will never dare to embarrass you. Moreover, this is also a face for the nobles, and the benefits behind it are less than the Xin envoys. ”

Xin Yan took the sword that had broken through twelve bloody battles and drank the blood of the rebels and pointed at Feng Chuang's chest.

"Who do you think I'm Xinyan? Others may be afraid of him, but what am I afraid of? Saying that, Xin Yan looked at the long sword in his hand, "Sword, the gentleman among a hundred soldiers, he is upright." I have been holding a sword all my life, and I will never do anything to attach a powerful person. Mountain monks, elders, bright swords! ”

"Yes!"

"Since none of these people have put on the armor of the forbidden army." Through the night and heavy rain, Xin Yan's face showed a touch of history, "Then they are not worthy of being a forbidden army, and those who dare to stop us will be killed!" ”

"No!" Feng Chuang screamed in shock. But Xin Yan's disciples and guards had already drawn their swords and rushed over, as the first son of the first swordsman of the Tang Dynasty, these people were naturally all kendo masters. Xin Yan galloped on his horse, a dark iron sword swung out the spear that stabbed several times, the sword was like lightning, like a swimming dragon, several swords passed in a row, and several black-clothed Shence soldiers in front of him had all covered their necks and fell off their horses.

His sword was like a spirit, and it dodged all around, and the ghostly black-clad cavalry slashed hard. He grabbed the horse's belly and rushed forward, and the horse stood tall and high-spirited, and the horseshoe made of stainless steel on the front hooves directly kicked the head of a war horse of the Shence Army in front of him, directly knocking the war horse down.

The Divine Sergeant cursed loudly, but the swords of the disciples and guards rained down like rain.

As soon as Feng Chuang started fighting, he had already ridden his horse and fled backwards. In the face of this legendary swordsman, he really couldn't muster the slightest courage.

Xin Yan rode his horse and galloped towards him, slashing Feng Chuang's helmet with a sword, which shook him for a while.

"Mountain monks, elders, it's important to quickly enter the mansion and rescue Li Shuai!" Xin Yan shouted.

Chen Duo was knocked off his horse by a swordsman and staggered to his knees. Half of his face was covered with the blood of Gugu running down his face. When he turned around, he happened to see that Feng Chuang was grabbed by Xin Yan and thrown into the mud, and then his head was cut off by a swordsman, leaving his headless body lying in the muddy water.

Those swordsmen danced their long swords, stirring up a bloody storm, and the Divine Ce Sergeant was unstoppable. A huge horse's hoof suddenly appeared in front of him, and then he was trampled into the mud with a hoof, and he felt only a heart-wrenching pain in his stomach and a mouth full of blood.

He saw those swordsmen raise and fall with their swords, cutting down one by one the divine soldiers as if they were chopping melons and vegetables. Those guards of the forbidden army who used to show off their might in Chang'an City were vulnerable at this time.

When he took the last breath, he only saw Xin Yan with his disciples and grandchildren, and after killing the Shence army with a bright sword, he rushed directly to the mansion. (To be continued......)
