Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 704 703. Xuanwu
"Second brother, long time no see~"

Standing in front of the moat, when Qin Qiong heard the familiar address of Shoujing, there was some overjoyed expression on his face:

"Is it really the Daoist?"

"Ah."

Shoujing nodded:
"Li Shouchu is looking at you. But he can't come over for the time being. If you have something to say, it's the same with me."

"This...haha~"

Qin Qiong let out a laugh full of joy:

"What is there to say? It's true that I want to have a drink."

"Drink...it's easy. Just wait for me~"

After finishing speaking, Shou Jing shook his shoulders, and disappeared in front of Qin Qiong.

He disappeared for about ten breaths, and when he came back again, he had already held two jars of wine and a handful of fried beans in his arms.

Sitting on the edge of the moat like this, he removed the altar plug covered with a red cloth and handed it to Qin Qiong.

Then he gave half of the handful of fried beans to Qin Qiong.

Sit on the ground, with your feet drooping on the embankment of the moat:

"It's okay~"

"Haha~"

The familiar style made Qin Qiong laugh instantly, learned to sit quietly by the moat, holding the wine jar:

"Daozhang, do it~"

Shou Jing didn't care about the title, after touching him with the jar, he looked up and took a big gulp of wine.

Then, like a primary school student stealing snacks, he poured a few beans from the palm of his hand into his mouth, and amidst the creaking sound of chewing, Shou Jing asked:

"How is the second brother?"

"Anything goes."

Qin Qiong, who always kept Li Zhen's motto in mind, shook her head:
"When the general died, I was still invincible. I felt that there were too many people who had lost the general in this world. I wanted to avenge him...but I was always at odds with that Shan Xiongxin. Later, after Miss Mu's Enlightenment, I have already figured out a lot of truths... Didn't she also tell you, now think about it, soldiers... the shroud of horse leather is the best destination."

Having said that, he added:
"It's not that I'm cowardly when I say this to the Taoist priest. It's just that... after I came out from General Zhang, I saw the attitude of some other soldiers, generals, and even some civil servants and generals towards the people... Sigh."

Sighing, shaking his head slightly:

"This court...doesn't matter if we don't save it."

"Then go as you wish."

Shou Jing slightly shook his head:

"You can't always live according to other people's wishes."

Qin Qiong was speechless.

Just raised the wine jar.

But it was brought to Shoujing, but Shoujing didn't move at all.

So he asked in surprise:

"what happened?"

"Uh……"

Shou Jing came back to her senses, then shook her head:

"It's okay, the guard is over there."

"Shouzhen?... The person Miss Mu said she was looking for when she left? Another... person of the Taoist priest?"

"Ah."

Shoujing nodded:
"He's going to fight over there."

"……with who?"

"Wang Xuba."

The moment Qin Qiong heard the name, she frowned:

"The "Mantian King"?"

"Correct."

Shou Jing smiled and nodded, baring her white teeth:
"Wei Daoer didn't come, but...it's enough to sacrifice the flag with him."

……

There is a river in Jingxing.

It comes from the branch of Yanshui, and its name is Jinghe.

Located one mile east of Jingxing City, it is the main river for local residents to get water daily.

At this moment, Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Li Yuanba, including Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others were standing at the head of Jingxing's east city, looking at the vague but visible crowd of people on the other side of the river, their brows frowned at the same time. .

"There are...a lot of people here."

Du Ruhui spoke first, and while speaking, he looked at Shouzhen who threw another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake into his mouth:
"Mr. Shouzhen, do you really want to go? These people... are not loitering soldiers. If you are in deep siege..."

"fine."

Shouzhen ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, her mouth was a little fuzzy.

"When I see him, he will die...I'm afraid I won't find it. But it doesn't matter, this river, they will die a lot of people. Sooner or later he will appear."

The sound is calm.

It's like talking about what to eat today.

While talking, there was only the last piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake left in the dim sum bag in his hand.

After eating, there is nothing to eat.

Seeing this, he thought about it...

Work.

He brought his fingers to his mouth and let out an inhalation sound.

After sucking all the crumbs into his mouth, he wiped his mouth.The cloth bag containing the sweet-scented osmanthus cake was handed over to Du Ruhui.

"I went~"

After the words fell, the person reappeared, already a hundred steps away from the city wall.

Then, in a flash, he had already come to the river.

Then people disappear.

As if it never existed.

"Keming, where did Mr. Shouzhen go?"

Because he didn't know how to practice, Fang Xuanling widened his eyes and searched around. When he couldn't find it, he looked at Du Ruhui.

But Du Ruhui also shook his head:

"I don't know."

And at this moment, far away, they heard the sound of a low-pitched horn.

That means the enemy on the opposite side is ready to attack.

Hearing this, Li Yuan turned his head and glanced at his two sons.

"Prepare to attack the enemy."

"Order!"

Li Shimin cupped his fists and led Li Yuanba down.

Not long after, the sound of the horn also sounded.

That was the signal to gather the troops.

……

"Ready to start?"

Jiangdu.

After hearing Li Zhen's words, Master Huqiu frowned and asked:
"Shouzhen found Wang Xuba?"

"not yet."

Li Zhen shook his head:

"He just went back into the well."

"...?"

Looking at Master Huqiu's puzzled eyes, Li Zhen shook his head with a little regret:
"Unfortunately, adults can't see it."

"... What are you looking at?"

"Xuanwu."

His eyes were a little blank, and the Taoist muttered to himself.

……

Water benefits all things without fighting.

Zhenwu masters water.

He is the Lord of all waters.

The well river is not deep.

The deepest point is just below the waist.

It is about forty to fifty paces wide.

Not a big river.

Although there is a bridge on the water, it has been destroyed by Li Yuan in advance.

In Wang Xuba's opinion, this was a bit of self-deception.

The water in this well is just a branch of Yanshui, let alone a river, if it is smaller, it may have to be called a "stream".

Not to mention the shallow water, it is also narrow.

Although a bridge runs through it, it is just for daily use.It's a war, and both sides have to fight one place, who cares if their pants and armor get wet?
And in order to deal with Jingxing's army, he also specially designed some tactics, in order to prevent Li Yuan from attacking from a long distance because of their slow progress while they were crossing the river.But now that Li Yuan has shrunk to Jingxing, it is a god-sent opportunity.

"Order! The whole army crosses the river!"

Standing behind a few phalanxes assembled by soldiers, as a general of the Chinese army, he saw that the opportunity in front of him must not be missed, so he issued an order directly.

As a result, the army began to move forward, heading towards Jinghe.

Soon, two phalanxes and about [-] soldiers began to enter the river to test.

The river was calm.

The heads of four thousand soldiers seemed to fill the river in an instant.

And they were not in a hurry to go directly, but instead stood in two factions, cutting the river in a well-organized way.

However, the waist-high river water changed from their waists. The water flow behind them rose a lot, but the water flow in front of them dropped a lot.

Therefore, when the second batch of soldiers crossed the river, the river had already reached the waist level, making it easier to move.

After confirming that there was no fraud, Wang Xuba waved his hand:
"The whole army crosses the river."

With that said, the remaining [-] soldiers began to move at the same time.

Including himself.

Riding on the horse, I looked at Jingxing City, which was only one mile away.

It seemed as if he had already seen the ruins of the city that had been breached.

So, he showed a sneer.

During the march, he turned his head and glanced at the Flying Dragon Fires behind him that were being carried by soldiers in horse-drawn carriages, his eyes were full of confidence.

Relying on this thing, they captured one city after another.

Although it is not clear where Wei Daoer got it, this kind of omnipotent killer is simply too easy to use.

And so the army marched, ready to cross the river.

Originally, it was peaceful.

But when he stepped into the river on his horse, suddenly, a voice sounded in his ear:
"Wang Xuba?"

"Who!?"

Wang Xuba instinctively turned his head vigilantly:

"Who is speaking?"

"..."

No one responded.

Only the soldiers who followed him asked in wonder:
"General?"

"..."

Wang Xuba frowned, looked around again, then shook his head:
"Nothing, just cross the river."

After speaking, he accelerated the horse:
"drive."

The horse began to speed up in the shallow water, and the soldiers around him also took the time to keep up.

everything is normal.

Until... the war horse came to the middle of the river.

suddenly……

"Herod~"

The war horse under Wang Xuba's crotch let out a terrified cry, raised its front hooves, and broke free from Wang Xuba's control in an instant, and forcibly turned the horse's head to escape.

He instinctively reined in the reins, but the horse didn't listen to it at all, pawing its hooves and struggling to retreat.

But when all four of its hooves fell into the water, it seemed as if it was caught by a water ghost, and it couldn't even move. It could only shake and shake its head, trying to break free.

It seems that there is something big and scary under the water.

Wang Xuba already sensed something was wrong at this moment, so he issued an order without thinking:

"Accelerate across the river! Quick!"

At the same time, he slapped his horse's back, and his whole body soared into the sky like a flying eagle. After flying up to a height of more than ten feet, he rushed towards the opposite bank of the river with that momentum.

No wonder it is called Man Tian Wang.

It's really high enough to fly.

but……

In the noise of the wind in his ears, he suddenly heard a voice:
"General!!!"

"...?"

When the sound sounded, he looked back as he fell.

I want to see what happened just now and what this reminder is for, so that I can make timely defenses.

But I saw those soldiers who were born and died with me are looking up at the sky... It seems that there is something terrifying in the sky higher than me.

He instinctively turned his head as he fell...

When I saw the sky covering the sky...it was obviously made of water, but it looked huge, as if the huge feet of some kind of giant beast were stepping straight down from the sky!
The giant feet are made of water, with distinct scales and armor.

Each piece of scale armor seems to bear the weight of the country. When it falls down, although the sound and power cannot be heard, the kind... the ultimate force that carries the surrounding world has already formed.

The weight of the earth.

It weighs tens of millions!

Tens of millions of people, stepping on it!

That is……

what?
monster……

When he was covered by this gigantic giant foot, Wang Xuba only had this thought in his mind.

Even thinking has been interrupted.

Let the giant feet of the monster made of water trample down.

"Bang!!"

The earth is shaking!

Those people went from being stunned by the giant feet to being pressed down... It took almost two or three breaths of time, not to mention struggling, and it was too late to even utter a sound of panic.

Just seeing it, the giant foot fell down!
Even, they couldn't see the whole picture of the monster on the giant foot at all.

It was firmly pressed down by this giant foot that was like a blind leaf!

Whether it's Wang Xuba or those soldiers who blocked the river.

So many people, after being trampled down, turned into meat mud and powder without even a single splash.

After melting into this giant foot made of water, it disappeared.

True Martial God Curse·Sea Thunder.

After one blow, Shouzhen's body appeared beside the well river.

Looking at the deep pit that was trampled out on the ground, he wasn't surprised.

There is even no doubt about whether Wang Xuba was killed in battle.

The head of all waters in the world, Xuanshui Zhenwu Emperor.

With this blow, anyone who is in the water, or belongs to the creatures in the water, cannot stop the truth that represents the true meaning of the world like water.

The creatures in the water cannot live in the water mine.

So, the so-called Mantian King, who used tens of thousands of soldiers, and the rebel who was named Li Shanfei, died so easily that not even a single splash was found.

because……

Zhenwu is not allowed.

The crowd froze.

Whether those soldiers were moving forward or not yet in the water, they just stared blankly at the huge pit in front of them, and didn't even know what to say.

Facing her masterpiece, Shouzhen also didn't say a word.

No need to speak either.

The moment the basalt foot stepped down, according to the agreement, he had already found and killed Wang Xuba.

The enemy's general is dead, if we don't take advantage of the fact that the army is leaderless, and we are brave enough to pursue the bandits, when will we wait?
In Jingxing City, horns sounded and drums sounded.

The city gate suddenly opened!

Li Shimin and Li Yuanba in uniform took the lead, leading the cavalry in Jingxing, and charged towards the thieves who hadn't slowed down yet!

But Shouzhen shook his shoulders and left quietly.

When it reappeared, it had already reached the top of the city.

Looking at Li Yuan, he nodded calmly:

"Wang Xuba is dead."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Li Shimin and Li Yuanba were waiting to attack, so they didn't see the shocking scene when the giant foot that lifted the sky fell.

But everyone above the city gate could see clearly.

That foot came from the sky breaking through the clouds. After stepping on it, it was like a giant beast passing by, trampling a few ants to death, and pulled it up again without feeling it, and finally disappeared into the clouds.

They can see clearly.

At this moment, after Shouzhen's calm words and eyes sounded, the shock of that scene just now became the best evidence.

Enlightenment!

This is enlightenment!
The power of one blow...

It was so terrifying!
"..."

Li Yuan was silent for a while, then nodded slightly:
"Mr. Shouzhen has worked hard."

"Ah."

Shou Zhen responded, and with Du Ruhui's dumbfounded expression, he took back the cloth bag, took out the last piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth.

Osmanthus is very fragrant.

Still very sweet.

Ok.

good to eat.
