The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 742 Simple Life and Death

Chen Xiaobo is an honest man.

The lives of honest people are mostly simple.

Most of Chen Xiaobo's life was not complicated.

A simple birth, a simple inheritance of the family business.

He took over the rolling pin from his parents and independently ran a steamed bun shop in his hometown town.

Then he simply married an honest and responsible daughter-in-law and passed away.

Father Chen and Mother Chen have children in old age. After they were married, their two daughters only came to visit relatives occasionally during their senior years.

The two elders were not in good health, so they just watched their son get married and start a business. Before they could hold their grandchildren and enjoy a few years of peaceful life, they died hand in hand.

When Chen Xiaobo was eighteen years old, he had to depend on his first wife.

The first wife was virtuous and gentle, but her body was weak. After marrying into the Chen family, she was cared for by Chen Xiaobo for three years before she became pregnant with the Chen family's heir.

Unexpectedly, the child had an accident before he was born. When Chen's wife went out to buy groceries, she was bullied by a group of passing robbers, killing one person and two others.

From that day on, Chen Xiaobo's world turned gloomy.

Not very good at drinking, he complained and got drunk at the same time.

Within a year, the family's fortune was ruined and the murder case was fruitless.

Having no money to buy wine, he thought of becoming a monk.

But before he had gone fifty miles away, he was forcibly taken away by the government who was recruiting troops to guard the northern border of Zhongzhou, five hundred miles away from home.

Perhaps for Chen Xiaobo at that time, the military camp was actually a good place to soothe his pain.

Chen Xiaobo stayed there for ten years. He was honest, responsible, and did not fight or grab. He was promoted to a centurion without any notice.

Then came the raging foreign chaos.

Many people died, but Chen Xiaobo survived.

Another ten years passed, and Chen Xiaobo became the general of Chengguan.

In the next three years, Chen Xiaobo encountered nearly a dozen Oala raids and robberies of varying scales.

Under the steady strategy of defending and fighting later, they never suffered a defeat or won a battle.

In short, Zhongzhou's losses were only a few soldiers and horses, while Wala's losses were several times that of Zhongzhou. It was all a loss of rice.

Chen Xiaobo’s hard work cannot be denied, not to mention how much he has contributed.

However, he never received any awards and was even impeached and removed from office in his fourth year!

The reason is that the Zhongzhou Army's fear of fighting when the enemy comes has lost its bloody spirit. If the enemy is tired and does not fight, and if the enemy flees without pursuing it, it is a serious mistake to let the tiger return to the mountain and leave trouble in the future!

This cause and effect is ridiculous.

But in the court, such things happen frequently, and everyone is not surprised at all, so they don't think it's funny.

Naturally, no one would laugh at Chen Xiaobo.

However, the honest man Chen Xiaobo never seemed to worry about these external affairs.

His heart has been closed to itself for a long time, and even if he devoted himself to the wars around him for more than ten years, it could not rekindle his passion.

When the dismissal order came down, he packed up his things and left without arguing or having any thoughts.

Back then, someone had the insight to promote Chen Xiaobo to centurion, and later appointed him as the general guarding the pass. At this time, the fifth prince also stood up and argued for Chen Xiaobo.

Fight for a casual job in Pinghai County that can at least provide for you in old age.

At first, Chen Xiaobo spent two years of idle life in Pinghai County.

Later, he discovered that more and more people, more and more high-ranking people, began to get close to him and use him, giving him resources to lead and train troops.

Chen Xiaobo didn't want to get involved in all kinds of right and wrong, but he also didn't want to offend anyone. He would do whatever the court asked him to do.

As for taking sides, he never expressed his stance and just stayed silent.

Those who know Chen Xiaobo obviously know his temperament. He does not push too hard, but lets him go his own way.

Kamikaze Camp was successfully trained by Chen Xiaobo.

The first appearance was at the Zhongzhou Wulin Hundred Flowers Conference on March 3 this year.

It's just that at that time, Zhan Lihua's proud and bloodthirsty group was more powerful, and the Kamikaze Camp was not so conspicuous.

Just like Chen Xiaobo, he doesn't care about the sharp weapons in his hands.

After all, he has no ambitions or pursuits.

Because everyone he cares about has been gone for a long time.

Until one day while sleeping, a woman suddenly appeared in his dream, and his life began to change.

She was a gentle and virtuous woman, exactly the same as his first wife!

They all like begonia flowers and love to wear long skirts embroidered with begonias!

Chen Xiaobo thought that he had this spring night dream because of his longing.

But every day after that, the woman who was like his first wife came to the meeting in his dream every night.

Although he was suspicious, his honest nature that didn't like asking questions also prevented him from expressing his doubts to others.

Ever since, the warmth and attachment that the woman brought to him every night made him let go of all his guard.

Even if he has realized that the woman is not his first wife, as long as he feels the same, it doesn't matter.

One night, Chen Xiaobo summoned up the courage to ask her what to call her.

She said of course she was called madam.

Chen Xiaobo said yes, and added two words in front of it on his own initiative.

Although the woman had always lived in seclusion and had hardly appeared in the camp except for visiting Chen Xiaobo's dreams at night, from that day on, the soldiers of the Kamikaze Battalion gradually learned that there was a Mrs. Begonia in the camp.

The old general, who is over fifty years old, unsmiling, and not approachable to women, has withered trees and bloomed iron trees.

This is a strange thing.

That's not a bad thing.

At least most of the soldiers thought it was a good thing after they discovered that the food in the camp had greatly improved and that the battalion commander would treat them to drinks and meals every three to five days. Everyone thought that Chen Xiaobo had forgiven the world and was willing to open his heart and have fun with everyone. Even at the banquet, he didn't speak much. Most of the time, he just listened and watched the people making trouble, with a smile on his face.

No one would take Chen Xiaobo's smile as a sign of good things coming soon.

The strange thing is that everyone waited and waited but didn't wait for the battalion commander's wedding.

Instead, we waited for the last banquet.

At that banquet, everyone had a great time drinking.

When Chen Xiaobo was touring the banquet, he raised his glass and invited everyone to have a big show together.

Although everyone was a little drunk, the soldiers' brains could still tell the difference. They were either going to fight and make meritorious deeds, or they were rebelling.

Some people may have a flash of hesitation or have complicated emotions.

Chen Xiaobo cannot be said to be very nice to everyone on a daily basis, but he is definitely not bad.

Having served as a soldier under him for several years, he will always have some understanding of his leader's past. Everyone can sympathize with this simple and honest general, and are willing to do something for him from the bottom of his heart.

The atmosphere at the banquet has been heightened, and all the emotions are already in the wine.

Chen Xiaobo drained the bowl of wine.

Everyone naturally followed suit.

Chen Xiaobo said do it.

Everyone will follow suit!

Ten days later, the Kamikaze Battalion, led by Chen Xiaobo, followed the Proud Bloodthirsty Regiment and fired arrows and crossbows at the city and soldiers of Zhongzhou!

This is a road from which there is no turning back.

Chen Xiaobo didn't know what others thought, nor did he want to know why his subordinates who were not close to him behaved so obediently.

He had heard that anger can turn into a beauty, so if he could die fighting for a beauty's smile, it would not be in vain.

Mrs. Haitang said to go east, but Chen Xiaobo would never go west.

Mrs. Haitang said she was going to ambush the people at Yiyun Villa and help the Proud Bloodthirsty Group escape from the encirclement.

Chen Xiaobo believed that what Mrs. Haitang said was reasonable and well understood. There were almost no casualties in the Kamikaze Camp along the way, all because the Proud Bloodthirsty Group was at the front.

So he marched hundreds of miles without hesitation to organize an ambush.

It's just that Chen Xiaobo has rich experience in defending the city, and he can count the number of ambush battles on one hand.

The ambush was unsuccessful.

Not only because the number of people ambushing the opponents was about the same, but also because there were too many Jianghu people among the opponents.

Chen Xiaobo failed to stop Long Yanling from leaving with three hundred troops.

The ambush turned into a diversionary war.

The remaining thirty or so martial arts masters are enough to give Chen Xiaobo a headache.

When commanding before the battle, Chen Xiaobo realized the powerlessness of arrows in front of people in the arena.

No wonder both the Fifth Marquis and Yu Tian paid more attention to the Proud Bloodthirsty Group. After all, the Kamikaze Battalion was an auxiliary type of Tiantou.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of some so-called fire guns and other firearms that had been recorded in history books and had not seen the light of day for hundreds of years. It must be that only when the army is equipped with these weapons can it truly check and balance the hordes of martial arts masters. .

As soon as this thought passed away, Chen Xiaobo had to brace himself and command his men to regroup.

He led his army to contain more than thirty Jianghu people for more than an hour, and nearly half of his five hundred troops were wiped out!

They are risking their lives to contain a powerful enemy!

"General, retreat."

Mrs. Haitang's voice rang in Chen Xiaobo's ears.

Although there was no one in sight, Chen Xiaobo followed his orders without hesitation and led the troops to withdraw.

Seeing the Kamikaze Battalion's intention to retreat, Shuangyi and Li Suran stepped up their assault.

With its two wings and two swords, it breathes fire like a fire phoenix. Spread its wings and use the scorching energy to blast away the soldiers, breaking through all the way!

Li suddenly's double thorns whirled like an elf dancing, passing through the gap that suddenly appeared, and quickly approached Chen Xiaobo!

Just when Li Suran was still about ten feet away from Chen Xiaobo's horse, a man wearing Begonia flower clothes blocked his way.

"General, leave first, I'll come soon!"

Mrs. Haitang did not look back.

Chen Xiaobo looked at the other party's back with tears in his eyes.

Regardless of whether she was using him or not, at least in this critical moment, she did not abandon him, and even wanted to break up for him, so everything he did was worth it.

Before Chen Xiaobo could open his mouth to accept the promise, he felt his body lighten, and his vision rose into the sky, spinning in the air.

Seeing the long sky, seeing all the strange heads gathering and reuniting like chess pieces, in the end, all I could see was the face with eyes moistened by the begonia flowers!

Chen Xiaobo's simple life ended not so simply.

The kamikaze camp soon collapsed and collapsed like a broken bridge.

Madam Haitang looked deeply at the assassin who was flying towards her with a hint of red on his blade.

With a flick of his wide sleeves, he disappeared from the same place as the assassin who had no trace before assassinating Chen Xiaobo.

The assassin paused.

I suddenly woke up after a moment!

Was he dazzled by the charm?

Dong Qing was alert to the situation around her, and after a while she confirmed that Mrs. Haitang had chosen to escape instead of staying and fighting to the death with him.

In the judgment of the old man and Luo Piaoling, there must be someone behind the scenes to instigate the rebellion between the two armies in Pinghai County.

It is not too difficult to solve this trouble. Just kill Chen Xiaobo, Zhan Lihua and the people behind the scenes.

Killing comes from the killer.

So Dongqing came.

The person hiding behind Chen Xiaobo must be Mrs. Haitang.

Could it be that charm is one of the Japanese secret arts?

And the only person behind this is Mrs. Haitang?
