Chapter 239 "Loyal Ministers and Righteous Soldiers"
When countless people in China were talking about the Taiping army that was about to go north, Shen Ye had already led the Taiping army to step through Tianjing City, all the way to the capital in the north, and everywhere they passed, the Qing soldiers were defeated and fled, and they did not dare to confront the Taiping army at all.
If it was in the past, let alone confrontation, even if Hong Xiuquan was there, someone would dare to rush up, but now, since I heard that Hong Tiangui killed Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guoquan and Liu Mingchuan with the power of one person, where did these Qing soldiers dare to step forward to stop them.
However, these ordinary Qing soldiers did not dare to come up, but it does not mean that no one dared to stop them, as the Taiping army drove through Tianjing City, there were some "loyal ministers and righteous men" of the Qing Dynasty who had blocked the way.
The group was walking on an official road, and three miles behind them was the Taiping army with no end in sight.
There are only a dozen people in this group, but each of them is a general of the Taiping Army, the leader of the group, riding a high-headed horse, it is Shen Ye, and beside him is Li Yucheng and a group of generals of the Taiping Army.
If it was usual, they would definitely not dare to go with dozens of people, but now with Hong Tiangui, they are fearless, this way, no Qing soldiers dare to come over to block the road, as if Hong Tiangui alone is a million heroes.
At this time, it was noon, Shen Ye was riding a high-headed horse and was walking slowly on the official road, and was about to rest for a while, when at this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in front, because the speed was too fast, so that it brought up a burst of dust.
"Huh?"
Shen Ye rode on the tall horse, he reined in the horse's head, stopped, glanced at the skyrocketing dust raised in front of him, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
These days, there is no Qing soldier master who dares to stop him, and even if there is, he will avoid it from a distance, and he doesn't feel that the group in front of him is here to stop it.
After all, there are only more than fifty people who came, and the voice is not very strong, the strongest one, under Shen Ye's induction, is only the peak of the super ninth stage, this kind of strength, even Zeng Guofan is inferior, it is definitely not sent by the Qing court to block himself and others in the middle of the road.
They don't have that qualification.
However, what he didn't expect was that after this group of people rushed over, they quickly stopped in front of Shen Ye and his group, blocking the way.
Shen Ye glanced at it, and was immediately shocked to find that behind them, a big flag was actually erected, the big flag fluttered in the wind, and on the flag, there were four block letters written in blood-red characters, with the words 'Loyal Ministers and Righteous Soldiers'!
"Loyal and righteous?"
Shen Ye raised his eyebrows, his face was funny, whose loyal minister and righteous man is this?
And at this time, this group of loyal ministers and righteous men also rode horses to the front of Shen Ye and his party, the leader was a man in his fifties, he had a long beard, an extremely elegant face, wearing a robe, quite a bit of the style of a great grandmaster, and behind him was also a group of middle-aged people, and even a few elderly old men, who seemed to be a little weak, they looked at Shen Ye and the others with a touch of hatred in their eyes.
But regardless of Wuhe, this group of people doesn't look like a master of Qing soldiers at all.
Therefore, Li Yucheng saw that they were blocking the way, and he didn't understand the other party's intentions very well, so he stepped forward and shouted: "We are the Taiping Army, who are you? Why are you blocking the road? Don't get out of the way quickly!"
"Bold traitors! We will not only block the way, but also kill you in the middle of the road!"
The man at the head suddenly shouted, holding a Guan Gong big knife, as if he was an angel who wanted to preside over justice.
"What are you?"
Seeing that this person actually scolded himself for being a traitor, and then looked at the banner of loyal ministers and righteous men erected by the other party, Shen Ye couldn't help but sneer at the banner erected by this group of people, and couldn't help but snort coldly and asked.
"My name is Wei Hanwen, I am a loyal minister and a righteous man, and the group behind me is also a loyal minister and a righteous man, you Taiping army traitors, don't think that others dare not come up to stop you, no one can stop you!"
That Wei Hanwen shouted loudly, "I'm waiting, I'm here to stop you rebels and go north to the capital!"
The old men behind him also glared at Shen Ye angrily: "Traitor! Even if our old bones die, we will prevent you from going north to the capital! Let you see, our loyal ministers and righteous men still have backbone!"
"Oh, are you the so-called loyal ministers and righteous men sent by the Manchu court?" Shen Ye asked with a sneer.
Wei Hanwen said disdainfully: "Loyal ministers and righteous people, we don't need the court to mobilize, we will sacrifice our lives to stop us!"
"Oh, the loyal ministers and righteous people who came by yourself, haha, dare to ask, are you Han or Manchu?" Shen Ye shouted angrily when he heard this.
Then Wei Hanwen shouted: "What about the Han people, and what about the Manchu people?"
"If you are Han and you still call yourself a loyal and righteous man, then it is interesting!"
Shen Ye scolded angrily, "The people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are not our Han people at all, you Han people, you Han people, are still on the side of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, thinking that you are loyal and righteous people? Are you blind?"
"No matter what Han and Manchu people are, I only know that the Central Plains is ruled by the Manchus today, since this is the case, then we have the obligation to defend the rule of the Manchus, you traitors, undermine the stability of the country, and make the common people miserable, you are damned, we old bones, even if we can't beat you, we will fight you to the death!"
An old man in his eighties shouted hoarsely, as if Shen Ye was an unforgivable sin.
"Haha, just because the Manchus ruled the Central Plains, you have forgotten your ancestors?" Shen Ye scolded angrily, "You people who have forgotten their ancestors will sooner or later be spurned by history!
"Okay, loyal ministers and righteous soldiers, go up together! Die on the battlefield, although we die especially honored!"
Those loyal ministers and righteous men glared at each other, and they rose into the air one after another, and came towards the siege of Shen Ye.
"Let me do it myself!"
Seeing that Li Yucheng and the others wanted to make a move, Shen Ye waved his hand and directly asked them to stop, while he himself suddenly rose into the air, directly waved a big knife, and rushed towards Wei Hanwen, who was the leader.
"Traitor Hong Tiangui, I know you are very powerful, but I, Wei Hanwen, am a Manchu man in life and a Manchu ghost in death, even if I die under your knife, that is my honor as a Manchu!"
That Wei Hanwen also stared at Shen Ye with red eyes, as if he was going to eat people, only to see him swing his Guan Gong knife violently, and let out a long roar, "Thunderbolt knife technique!"
The thunderbolt knife method is the secret method of the Wei family where Wei Hanwen is located, only the head of the family is qualified to practice, and this Wei Hanwen is the current head of the Wei family, as soon as this knife method comes out, there is a kind of thunderbolt flashing on the tip of the knife, as if there is a thunderbolt entangled, which makes people dare not look directly.
"Crackling!"
As soon as this thunderbolt knife technique came out, Shen Ye suddenly saw clusters of thunder suddenly appear on this Wei Hanwen's Guan Gong broadsword, these thunderbolts were like psychic flames, jumping up, making people dare not touch it easily.
"Thunderbolt knife technique, hmph, the realm is okay, and the moves are still violent, but unfortunately, there is no brain. ”
Shen Ye just glanced at it, shook his head and sneered and easily swung a knife, and said with a sneer, "I really don't know how your brains grow!"
Swish!
Shen Ye didn't sympathize at all, and directly waved the knife indifferently, and the sword light suddenly flew out like a bright light, like lightning, directly ignoring the thunderbolt knife technique, and slammed into Wei Hanwen's body.
Burst!
That Wei Hanwen was caught off guard, and before he even fully unleashed his sword technique, he was shocked to find that his body and head were directly separated, and the blood sprayed like a torrential rain, which was extremely bloody.
"Anyway, your brain is also crippled, so I'll separate you. ”
Shen Ye's expression was indifferent, watching Wei Hanwen fall.
At this time, on the left side, there was also an old man rushing over, he looked like his hair was all white, and he seemed to be eighty or ninety years old, but at this time he wanted to sneak attack Shen Ye: "Traitor, take your life!"
"Hmph. ”
Shen Ye snorted coldly in disdain, slammed his body to the side, easily avoided it, and immediately turned around, directly cutting this old man who didn't know what to do into the void.
In just one breath, Shen Ye successively killed Wei Hanwen, the leader, and an old man, and the rest of the people were stunned, and suddenly their eyes were red, and they roared: "Up, up! Everyone go up together, even if you die, you have to drag this traitor to die together!"
"Get out!"
Shen Ye let out a long roar, and no longer killed a single direct whirlwind, the knife technique was everywhere, like ripples swept in all directions, these ripples were like a storm, and those who were involved in it were either stopped by the waist and died, or the head fell to the ground, or the foot and arm were broken!
No one can block the power of Shen Ye's sword!
"Ahh
"This person, too, too strong, let's run!"
Seeing Shen Ye killing all sides, no one could stop him at all, some younger young people were suddenly scared, they all followed the elders, and thought that this Shen Ye was nothing powerful, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful, their eyes flickered, after thinking about it, they decided to run away.
"Let's go!"
Thinking of this, some of the remaining loyal ministers and righteous men took advantage of the chaos, while Shen Ye was still killing alone, they fell back on the high-headed horse, glared at their legs, and waved their whips, urging the horses under their crotches to gallop quickly.
"Young Heavenly King, do you want to chase?" At this time, Li Yu stood up on the horse.
Shen Ye put away the big knife, glanced at the loyal ministers and righteous men who fled with disdain, and immediately smiled contemptuously: "What loyal ministers and righteous people are just a group of brainwashed fools, they know it's okay to run, just let them escape." ”
