I became a saint by picking up corpses in Water Margin

Chapter 388 You are surrounded
"It's exciting, but there are only two of us, and we can't fight a big battle."

Qiu Qiongying curled her lips after saying this, obviously dissatisfied with this "trip".

Seeing her indifferent reaction, Yang Chang asked with a smile: "My dear, how big a battle do you want to fight before you feel satisfied?"

"Kill the general, seize the flag, be the first to reach the top, break through the enemy lines, you have to do one of these in a war, right?"

"What's so difficult about this?"

After hearing Qiu Qiongying's request, Yang Changsui spread his hands and said calmly: "As long as the Jin people dare to fight, I will take my wife to get all four of these."

"I know that the king is powerful, but he has no soldiers following him. If I were surrounded by the enemy, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to escape and cause trouble for the king."

"That's fine, just follow me closely and keep my wife safe!"

Yang Changan's full answer did not move Qiu Qiongying, but instead made her feel depressed.

Zhao Fujin and Yang Chang have also gone on adventures together as a couple several times, but they were never a burden. If Qiu Qiongying needed Yang Chang's protection, doesn't it mean that she is relatively useless?
Zhao Fujin knows magic, so it's useless for Qiu Qiongying to be jealous.

She was originally the strongest in martial arts among the three women, but as soon as Hu Sanniang broke through the Qi Refining Realm, her martial arts began to improve by leaps and bounds. The gap was narrowing every day, and it was only a matter of time before she surpassed Qiu Qiongying.

Therefore, Qiu Qiongying's loss was mainly due to her lack of self-blame and her inability to help Yang Chang.

After hearing Qiu Qiongying's simple response and sensing her change of mood, Yang Chang comforted her earnestly, "Don't blame me, my lady. The reason why I didn't lead the troops myself, but let Sun An and Li Yanxian lead the troops south, is because Salihe and Wuzhu are very cunning. They are afraid that the Jin army will come back as soon as we leave Zhending."

"Sir, there is no need to explain. I understand your intentions. Besides, you need to train a few helpers, otherwise you will be too busy to handle it."

"My lady, you can think this way, which shows that you are reasonable. So why are you unhappy?"

"Hey"

Qiu Qiongying sighed and explained: "Many people have made progress, but I am still the same as before."

"My lady, so this is what you want. I can find a way to make you stronger, but secular martial arts are meaningless. I said I would help you break through the Qi Refining Realm. You will seek immortality from me in the future. There is no point in taking up these opportunities."

"Do you remember, sir?"

"of course."

Yang Chang reacted instantly, pointed to the east, and said seriously: "To break through to the Qi Refining Realm, ordinary opportunities are useless to you. My wife's opportunity is in Erxian Mountain, but before Hebei is recovered, it is not convenient for us to visit Erxian Mountain. If Master Luo is unwilling to help, it will be inconvenient to lobby for help on someone else's territory."

"I understand. Sir, please stop talking and let's get going."

Qiu Qiongying interrupted Yang Chang and urged him to move on without waiting for him to finish. Her depressed mood instantly turned into positive one.

"Huh? Oh"

Yang Chang didn't know what happened, but he noticed that the woman's mood had improved. Although he couldn't understand why for a moment, he was happy about this change.

Women are emotional creatures, and their emotions come and go quickly.

In short, it’s all about attitude.

Since Yang Chang has kept it in mind, all the grievances are not important.

Although August has already entered autumn, the summer heat in Hebei has not yet subsided.

Both of them rode fine horses. The distance from Zhending City to Anxi (Ding County), the seat of Zhongshan Prefecture, was only a hundred miles, and it should have taken two hours to get there, but Yang Chang took half a day to get there.

It wasn't that urgent, so Yang Chang took Qiu Qiongying out for a trip to enjoy the scenery.

Although there are no mountains between the two places, there are four large rivers blocking the road, namely Zishui, Mudaogou, Shahe and Changxingchuan.

Every time Yang Chang passed a river, he and Qiu Qiongying would stop to cool off. They walked and rested along the way and finally arrived in Anxi at noon on the ninth day.

Of course, it wasn’t all smooth sailing.

After all, Zhongshan was the defense zone of the Jin army. It was difficult for them not to be noticed by the Jin cavalry as they rode on BMWs and wore bright armor, especially since they had to pass through Xinle County on the way, where Salihe had stationed garrisons.

The couple paraded through the city, attracting many Jin cavalrymen to approach them, but without exception, they all never returned. The Xinle garrison commander even sent out a small team, but only two people out of fifty escaped.

Therefore, before the people arrived in Anxi, their basic information such as their appearance had already been passed to the Salihe tent.

One male and one female.

One was wearing gold armor, the other silver, and both were riding white horses. Dozens of people were unable to get close to them.

Yang Chang's scouts are so fierce? How can we continue the battle?
Salihe listened to the report from Xinle and the confirmation from the cavalry sent from Anxi, which confirmed that the man and woman were very powerful. He knocked on the table with one hand and remained silent.

Wuyan Huligai, the general who used to offer advice, now sat next to Xiao Gong without saying a word. Both of them were waiting for Salihe to make a decision.

Should we continue to send people to surround and capture him, or just sit back and let him go?

After all, there were only two people on two horses, so it was impossible that they were here to capture the city. Everyone was certain of this concept.

Salihe thought for a long while, and finally raised his hand and slapped the table, making a crisp sound.

"I've decided. These two spies are so powerful. They might have been sent by Commander Yang to cause trouble. We should ignore them. Order all cities in Zhongshan Prefecture to close their gates. No matter if these two people poop or pee outside, we don't care. As long as the Jin army in Zhending doesn't move, we won't move either. We don't want to be consumed for no reason."

"The governor is right. If you ignore it, you won't fall into the trap."

"Yes, but we are just two men on two horses. What can we learn from them? As long as I don't fight back, I won't lose."

"Yes, yes, yes, we should not fight"

The two men sang the same tune. When they heard Xiao Gong sneering secretly in the tent, they thought: "If you are afraid of death, then you are afraid of death. You speak so eloquently. Don't be scared away by these two."

Xiao Gong was complaining in his heart when a scout suddenly rushed into the tent and shouted excitedly: "General, Yang Chang has arrived at the south gate of Anxi and is threatening you to open the city and surrender."

"What did you say? Chief Yang?"

Salihe stood up in astonishment, and saw the scout nodding firmly, "He does call himself King of Jin, Yang Chang."

"How dare you call yourself Commander Yang? How many soldiers did he lead? What does he look like?"

"There were two men riding two horses. Yang was wearing an embroidered robe and golden armor, and the other rode a white horse with a weapon that looked like a harpoon in his hand."

As soon as the scout finished speaking, Wu Yanhuligai hurriedly reminded, "So those two people before, they dared to pretend to be Yang Chang? Commander-in-Chief, let them go when they are tired of scolding, don't pay any attention to them."

"and many more."

Xiao Gong suddenly stood up and interrupted, saying seriously: "Since these two people are quite capable, and one of them claims to be Yang Chang, maybe it's true?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Salihe waved his hands and gave a serious conclusion, then explained: "I saw him in Zezhou not long ago. That commander Yang was not wearing any armor and riding a different yellow-maned horse. He was holding a spear in his hand. This man was wearing golden armor, riding a white horse and carrying a harpoon. It was obvious that he was an imposter."

"The governor."

Xiao Gong took over the conversation and said earnestly: "We can't judge him based solely on his attire. After all, the armor and weapons he wears can be changed at any time. What if he is real? It's better to confirm it clearly."

"Okay, I know what's going on!"

Salihe didn't want to pay any attention to it, thinking to himself, how do you want me to confirm it?

Yang Chang has a special skill of long-range shooting. Do you want me to risk my life to go up to the tower? Just to see if it is Yang Chang? Why not just ignore him?
Although Yang Chang had amazing martial arts skills, there were only two of them on two horses at the time, so it was impossible for them to capture the city.

Seeing that Xiao Gong's advice made Salihe angry, Wuyan Huligai stepped out to act as a peacemaker and said, "General, I think what General Xiao said makes sense."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" "Don't misunderstand, Commander-in-Chief. I didn't say you made a wrong judgment. I just thought that if it was really Yang Chang, it might be a good opportunity for revenge. After all, there are only two of them. We can send two armies to go around from the east and west gates, and then rush up to capture him, and the new and old grudges can be avenged."

"What if it's not?"

Sali's anger was still there, thinking, "You don't understand what I'm saying, right? I just reminded you so clearly, why are you still nagging me? Do you take me seriously?"

How could Wu Yanhu Ligai not know? He had his own reasons for saying so, and immediately said under pressure: "Even if it's not Yang Chang, he's not an ordinary character. Just treat him as Yang Chang and take him down, so that everyone doesn't have to think too much."

"Are you here to do this?"

When Sali asked the key question, Wuyan Huligai was the first to answer: "General Xiao just suffered a loss, and the remaining thousand soldiers need to boost morale. Why not give him this opportunity?"

"Give it to me?"

Xiao Gong's face suddenly turned dark.

You've been babbling for so long, and in the end you still want me to fight to the death? I only have 1,000 soldiers left out of 5,000. You really don't treat us as human beings, do you?
Wu Yanhu Ligai observed Xiao Gong's expression and tone, and added: "General Xiao, don't be polite. The two are highly skilled in martial arts, and there may be losses if they capture and kill them, but if it is really Yang Chang or an important general under his command, a small loss will become insignificant."

"Is it appropriate for you to give me such a great credit? Why don't you volunteer yourself?"

"If it weren't for my advice last time, the general wouldn't have gone out of the city to ambush, so I want to make up for it this time. Of course, I won't be idle either. I will go to the tower to attract attention and provide cover for General Xiao to encircle them from behind."

"Really? The general is so righteous?"

Perhaps because of Xiao Gong's sarcastic tone, Wu Yanhuli patted his chest and said seriously, "Don't think that you can be safe by attracting attention. If the other party is really Yang Chang himself, he has the unique skill of shooting an arrow into the neck. This will put your life in danger."

"is it?"

Xiao Gong still couldn't let it go.

Salihe was persuaded by Wuyan Huligai and immediately issued an order, "General Xiao, Wuyan Huligai will give you the chance to capture and kill the two thieves. This commander-in-chief will also go to the city in person, so you can attack with confidence."

"Yes, the general will take your orders!"

Although Xiao Gong was reluctant, his arms were not as strong as his thighs, so he immediately accepted the order and left the tent.

Salihe took Wuyan Huligai and went to Anxi South Gate to confirm the man's identity.

of course.

Since Yang Chang had the deterrent power of choking, the two men dared not wear anything less than full body armor.

Not long after, Salihe and Wuyanhuligai climbed up to the city wall, but they did not hear the provocation and cursing as they remembered.

Wuyan Huligai then asked his attendants: "What's going on? Where is Yang Chang now?"

"I just stayed outside the city."

"Not leaving?"

"I gonna go see!"

Salihe took a step forward and carefully hid behind the hole in the helmet, which naturally resulted in a partial loss of clarity.

Wuyan Huligai followed. He didn't know what Yang looked like, so he secretly popped his head out from the battlement to take a look, then came to Salihe.

"General, is it Yang Chang?"

"It's too far away, I can't see clearly."

Salihe frowned but didn't shake his head.

He had met Yang Chang face to face once when he was fighting outside She County. The contrast between the two was too great, so he was unsure for a moment.

The person in front of him was dressed in dazzling clothes, while Yang Chang at that time was wearing plain clothes, and his horse and weapons were different.

"Xiao Gong has already left the city. If we don't respond, will they run away?"

"That makes sense, then go and hold on!"

"what?"

Wuyan Huligai felt numb at this time, and he felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.

Salihe heard his hesitation, then turned around and shouted, "You are dressed like this, even wearing a visor, are you still afraid that Yang Chang will shoot you in the neck? Go!"

"Yes"

Wuyan Huligai stood up and walked forward. He really wanted to slap himself, thinking to himself, why should I talk too much?

He was peeping from the parapet just now and had been seen by Yang Chang [Eagle Eyes and Owl Eyes]. He originally thought that this person was a coward, but he didn't expect that he would dare to face him.

Is it Salihe?
Do you want to shoot him with an arrow?
So what if you're wearing full body armor? I can't kill you, but I can at least injure you.

Forget it, it’s a rare opportunity to have a toy.

Scared away, who will play with Qiu Qiongying? Let him throw a few stones later.

Thinking of this, Yang Chang shouted provocatively: "Are you willing to come out instead of hiding in your shell? You have been surrounded, why don't you open the city and surrender quickly?"

"You two surrounded 20,000 of us? What a joke!"

When Wu Yanhuligai heard this, he suddenly felt relieved, and then he teased back: "Are you really Yang Chang? Not Yang Feng?"

"Why not try going out of town?"

Yang Chang pointed the halberd with a mighty and domineering look.

Wuyan Huligai wanted to leave the city, but Xiao Gong had already led his troops there, so he responded contemptuously: "You are worthy? But seeing that you are waiting so pitifully, I will send an attendant to play with you. Don't be scared and run away."

"Shut up! You don't dare to come out, what are you still talking about? Take my blow!"

Qiu Qiongying heard that he spoke Chinese in a stiff and awkward manner, and it seemed that he was unwilling to leave the city, so she immediately took out a stone and threw it, which flew straight towards the Wuyanhuli Gaimian Gate.

With a loud bang, Wuyanhuligai immediately covered his face and stepped back, feeling as if he had survived a calamity.

At this time, Salihe came over and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It hurts so much, my head is buzzing, luckily I had my face shield on, this woman didn't follow martial ethics and attacked me by surprise."

"It's good that I'm not dead."

"Ok?"

Wuyan Huligai took off his armor and looked at Salihe with surprise, as if saying: What kind of comforting words are you saying?

"The man you provoked just now was Jin Wang Yang Chang!"

“No, you said you couldn’t see clearly.”

"Although people can't see clearly, I recognize the horse he is riding. It is the Jade Lion of Jiemu. I heard that the latter one was taken by Yang Chang, and the others can't control it."

Sali said as if he was shouting, and suddenly became excited: "It's bad, Xiao Gong! We have to make him return."

"If the commander-in-chief gives the order now, I'm afraid it will be too late. Besides, even if it's Yang Chang, he only has two men and two horses, while Xiao Gong has more than a thousand personal soldiers. Even a thousand pigs can kill them, right?"
