Chapter 246 Everyone, do you know Jiangnan Li Guanyi? (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Li Guanyi rode his warhorse at a gallop. The warhorses of the Gongsun family had the blood of exotic beasts and were by no means ordinary creatures. As he moved forward, the location of the Chen army was discovered, and the Gongsun family had already handed over the information to Li Guanyi.

"Yes, one thousand soldiers, plus eight hundred logistics personnel, a total of one thousand eight hundred people."

"I don't know who the leading general is."

"When heading to Zhongzhou, we separated from Chen Dingye's group and received a secret order to take another route to the Gongsun family. We are ready to force the Gongsun family to hand over the art of mechanical devices."

"It's only about a hundred miles from here."

Li Guanyi smiled and asked, "Yaoguang, how do you think they will get here?"

He answered himself: "I think they must think that with the strength of thousands of troops, suppressing the Gongsun family is like a rolling stone, crushing everything in front into dust, as if I have set an example for them."

"The one leading the troops this time seems to be a fierce general."

"If we fight head-on, it will be dangerous. However, the so-called military strategy is to [avoid the strong and attack the weak, use our strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses]. There is also a saying that [know yourself and the enemy, and you will win every battle. At this moment, the general of Chen State knows himself but not me, so he only has a 50% chance of winning.]"

Li Guanyi and Yaoguang chatted about this matter as they walked away. Behind them, the silver-haired man put his hands behind his back and walked forward slowly. Every step he took seemed to cross a space, and his speed was exactly the same as the galloping exotic warhorse.

His sleeves were rolled up and his eyes were calm, showing a sense of calm and indifference.

And whether it was Li Guanyi's perception, Qilin's talent, or the silver-haired girl, none of them noticed that this person was following them.

The silver-haired man only said to himself: "... He only knows how to talk nonsense, and he doesn't know the world."

“Just one man was able to intercept a thousand-man army. Could it be that he relied on his martial arts and the Qilin mythical beast?” He could basically judge Li Guanyi’s current level of martial arts skills, the aura of the magic weapon on his body, and the Qilin mythical beast.

"You are good at martial arts."

When all these are added together, they are not without the ability to fight against an army of a thousand men.

Mythical beasts like the Qilin have extremely powerful abilities to break through battle formations.

But the silver-haired man was still unhappy, his face was covered with a layer of frost, and he said to himself coldly: "You can go by yourself, but why do you take her with you? Your physique is as strong as a dragon and a tiger, but she is not."

"I have never seen anyone break into a battle array, and bring along a weak, helpless, delicate and pitiful little girl."

The Chen army was indeed advancing slowly as Li Guanyi had guessed. Leading them was a general who had experienced several battles, the fourth-rank Xuanwu General Qi Junsong, who had some connections with Li Guanyi.

More than a year ago, one month before the grand sacrifice, Concubine Xue wanted to meet the eldest lady. Li Guanyi sent Xue Shuangtao to the capital, where they encountered a group of nobles and playboys who blocked the road and provoked them. Among them was Qi Junsong's son, who was later labeled as Yue Qianfeng's accomplice and imprisoned.

Qi Junsong met his son in person and hid a dagger in the food box he gave to his son, asking him to commit suicide and save the family. Now after the grand sacrifice, the truth came out, proving that Li Guanyi was Yue Qianfeng's accomplice.

The civil officials rehabilitated Qi Junsong, supported the military generals, and used the power of both the civil and military factions to coerce and marginalize Xue Daoyong. They never thought that this tiger in the court was also so powerful that even the civil and military factions could not bring him down.

Qi Junsong took a sip of water, put on his armor, and looked into the distance with a calm look.

The armored soldiers marched slowly. The area where these 1,000 soldiers of the State of Chen were walking was an area allowed by the State of Ying to pass through. They took the opportunity to go to the Gongsun family. On the surface, they were there to purchase mechanical crossbows, but in reality, they had received a secret order to make the Gongsun family pledge allegiance.

Jiang Wanxiang of Ying State went to Zhongzhou.

For unknown reasons, the first divine general also left Ying State.

Chen Dingye made a quick judgment and pursued two parallel lines. He was bound to be the first to take the lead and bring the Gongsun family under his command. In Chen Dingye's eyes, this was a necessary move; in Qi Junsong's eyes, this was simply a merit that was picked up for nothing.

No matter how powerful the Gongsun family is, they are just a force in the martial arts world.

How many people can there be in the Jianghu forces? A hundred or eighty elite warriors are considered a lot, but in front of thousands of troops, it is just a joke. With heavy armor and long spears forming a formation, pushing forward and riding horses into the Jianghu, isn't it an easy task?
Originally, this opportunity to gain merit was not his.

The Zhou family and the Yechi cavalry were eyeing this opportunity, but the plan came suddenly, and his majesty seemed to intend to promote some new generals to check and balance the court. This opportunity fell from the heads of Ye Buyi, Zhou Liuying and other young officers to Qi Junsong.

Qi Junsong gripped the reins and said to himself, "My son died because of Li Guanyi's incident."

"I was already in a state of disgrace, and only with your majesty's mercy did I get this opportunity."

"It's extremely difficult, we must not fail."

The Gongsun family is relatively close to the Ying State, and the Ying State Emperor Jiang Wanxiang is quite calm and not so anxious to hold this power in his hands. However, for the Chen State, Chen Dingye also knows that the knowledge and institutions of this family must be firmly controlled.

But it is difficult to have this opportunity on normal days, and this time the number one general, Jiang Wanxiang, is not here.

Chen Dingye did not hesitate and immediately seized the opportunity. He went north in person and crossed the territory of Ying State alone. In his capacity as Emperor Chen, he restrained famous generals such as the Crown Prince, He Ruoqinhu, Yuwen Lie, and Qin Yulong.

It seemed as if he wanted to take advantage of Jiang Wanxiang's absence to do something.

Then, Anshou sent a thousand troops to the Gongsun family.

Plank roads are built openly and secretly.

Tan Tai Xianming had been away for more than a year. The Python, which had gradually become dull under the Prime Minister's strategy, had regained its original decisiveness and style. Such tactics were somewhat heroic.

However, he still subconsciously had the intention of "checking and balancing", so he did not send young generals such as Ye Buyi and Zhou Liuying, nor experienced generals such as Lu Youxian.

Instead, it was Qi Junsong who picked up merit at the border.

Qi Junsong was the commander-in-chief, Ye Buyi and Zhou Liuying were just logistics officers.

Qi Junsong was quite cautious. He followed the advice of his advisers. These troops did not all go through the front road. Instead, they disguised the logistics troops as the main force, spread the flags in all directions, and stretched the troops out, as if they were still a large army marching slowly.

In secret, he sent a thousand elite soldiers to bypass the mountain path, intending to break into the Gongsun family from a hidden place when the Gongsun family was not expecting it, and put great pressure on them.

Being able to easily command an army of thousands of people, complete the division of the army, make the rear army pretend to be the main force, and then keep the main army silent, and operate the horse muzzle accurately, even if Qi Junsong is not a famous general, he is not a good-for-nothing either.

Following the advice of his advisers, he completed a tactical operation to confuse the enemy and outflank them.

Qi Junsong relaxed in his heart, raised his whip lightly, pointed at the distant location of the Gongsun family, and said with a smile: "The Gongsun family is well-known in the martial arts world. Hahaha, they are just people in the martial arts world, what strategies do they know?"

"I deliberately spread the news to let them know we are coming. I think they are gathering people and waiting on the main road. When the time comes, we will go around behind them and attack them suddenly, catching them off guard."

"This can be done."

The counselor also smiled and said, "It is really thanks to the general's divine power. I would like to congratulate the general in advance. After this great event is accomplished, His Majesty will certainly give more rewards."

"But we have to be careful. We are going to rush over from the mountain road. If the enemy figures out our plan, they can just set up an ambush on the cliff. I'm afraid our army will be wiped out here."

Qi Junsong didn't take it seriously and said, "I know what the military advisor said, but you are talking about the tactics of two armies in a battle formation. How many people can a mere Jianghu family have? How many ambushes can they arrange?"

"The military has its own tactics, and the underworld has its own rules."

"When we ride into the world, we should be able to conquer all corners of the world."

"How can we let Li Guanyi take the lead?"

When Qi Junsong was laughing, there was suddenly a noise coming from the front.

boom! ! ! !

There was a roar on the mountain road ahead, and pieces of rubble fell down, blocking the road ahead. Both men and horses were shocked. They saw flags flying continuously on the cliffs on both sides ahead. There were large red flags one after another. Just looking at the flags, it seemed as if there was a large army in front.

Qi Junsong's face froze for a moment, and after just one look, his expression changed drastically:

"Red flag?!!!"

A low roar was heard from the front, flames rose, and Qilin walked out. There was a young man wearing ordinary robes, holding a halberd in his right hand and a dark golden mask on his face with his left hand, looking calm and unhurried.

In front of thousands of soldiers, Qilin paced with his halberd against the ground.

Just one person!

His appearance here actually caused a morale disturbance among the elite troops of the State of Chen. Especially the brave soldiers of the State of Chen in the front knew the battle record of this famous general, and saw his calm temperament, as if they had been waiting here for a long time. The impact on morale was huge.

Jiangnan Qilin·Li Guanyi!

Qi Junsong was filled with hatred. The young general stretched out his hand, knocked on the visor, took it off, and revealed his face. He smiled calmly, spoke each word with a certain solemnity, and said:
"Li Guanyi, I've been waiting here for a long time."

"Gentlemen, why are you so late?!"

Qi Junsong gritted his teeth: "You, didn't you go to Zhongzhou with the Qilin Army?!"

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "Chen Dingye knows how to divide his troops into two groups. How can Li Guanyi be weaker than him?"

"Everyone is here. I will capture you and go to Zhongzhou. I will then return you to Chen Dingye to reminisce about our old friendship." Li Guanyi raised his arm, and a strong wind blew behind him. Then, the sound of bows and crossbows seemed to be heard from the mountain walls on both sides.

The red flags were endless, as if there were thousands of troops ambushed, and then the rocks were shaking, as if they were about to roll over and fall.

Qi Junsong knew that the Qilin Army was brave and valiant. As a general, the moment his plan was discovered, his state of mind was already affected. He had originally planned to approach the Gongsun family through the small road, but when he saw this, his face changed and he said, "Retreat! Retreat!"

Li Guanyi's Qilin charged into the battle formation.

The silver-haired girl who controlled the flags raised her hands and formed a formation. It was useless, just shouting and killing, and reproducing the voices of those famous generals in his memory: "Hahahaha, Ling Pingyang is here, put down your weapons!!!"

"Fan Qing obeyed the lord's order and has been waiting here for a long time!"

"Yuwen..."

The silver-haired girl subconsciously reproduced the voice of the wooden-faced uncle who had a cold face but could find candy and nectar for herself. She stopped talking decisively, and when she saw that no one noticed, the silver-haired girl exhaled.

Then he stretched out his hand and patted his chest gently. A feeling of relief emerged on his expressionless face, and then he looked around quietly.

The silver-haired man in the distance subconsciously covered his chest.

"hiss--"

Jianghu legend felt like his heart was melting.

But the young man was seen galloping back and forth, swinging the halberd in his hand. The forbidden place for military strategists was the mountain road, but the mountain walls on both sides were occupied by people. Qi Junsong only thought that the people on the opposite side were a family of martial arts, and ignored the art of war. When he saw Li Guanyi appear, his heart was trembling.

They never doubted that there was no Qilin Army behind Li Guanyi.

Because they had never seen a heroic leader who would go to a meeting alone and fight alone.

Coupled with the sounds of waving flags on both sides, roaring sounds, and rolling rocks falling from the mountain, there were just waves of chaos. Everyone was in a panic. Li Guanyi rushed into the battle formation again, tearing apart the army of thousands of people. The Chen soldiers could only hear their comrades shouting and waving swords, but they could not see where the enemy was.

Qi Junsong's fighting spirit was waning, but he was still at the fifth level, so he shouted loudly and forcibly gathered a group of people, intending to confront Li Guanyi. However, he never expected that the young general Qilin came running here, and the two weapons collided fiercely.

Qi Junsong's face froze. Li Guanyi's internal energy was so powerful and terrifying that it was not inferior to his!

No, where is the commander of the Second Heaven Qilin Army? !

The fifth level of heaven at the age of sixteen? !

Qi Junsong refused to believe that someone could ascend from the second level to the fifth level in such a short time. He thought that the so-called second level was just a cover-up and that he was the one who fell into the trap. He was so angry that he shouted, "You actually deceived the world!!!"

Li Guanyi was too lazy to talk to him.

The Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd was swung violently, and the tiger roared and exploded.

The white tiger behind him soared into the sky. The silver-haired man who had been paying attention to Yaoguang froze in his tracks and suddenly asked, "White Tiger Sect?!"

He suddenly reacted.

Why would his troublesome, annoying, encumbered, not-at-all-lovely daughter be so close to this brat? He thought of the relationship between the White Tiger Sect and Guanxing Yaoguang, and a look of unpleasantness appeared on his face.

It was he who personally sent his daughter to the gate of the Stargazing Clan!

Who, who brought this expressionless daughter and this brat together?

Who is the root of all evil?

It's him.

The whale fisherman, who was most carefree and was planning to send his restrained daughter to a safe place, now felt a sense of frustration and anger.

At this moment, Li Guanyi had already attacked twice. In just three moves, the mount under Qi Junsong could not withstand the terrifying power. Although it was clearly a strange beast, it was suppressed by the terrifying power, and its spine was broken and shattered, and blood spurted out of its mouth.

Li Guanyi discovered this after learning some of Changshengke's skills.

He seemed to be able to directly unlock the upper limit of his body's self-protection.

In fact, no one can exert the limits of their muscles and bones.

The body will instinctively protect itself to prevent humans from exceeding their physical limits and straining their muscles or breaking their bones. However, Li Guanyi discovered that he could ignore this limitation and even exceed it.

Because when the power of dragon tendons and tiger marrow explodes to its limit or even exceeds the limit, it will cause internal injuries, but the skills of Changshengke will allow such internal injuries to heal in the next moment.

After recovery, the muscles will become similar to exercised muscles, firmer and stronger, and can constantly break the limits of the body. In theory, it is like a perpetual motion machine with no limits.

Qi Junsong, a veteran fifth-level warrior, was brutally attacked three times by Li Guanyi, who had just entered the fifth level, in a manner that did not follow any reason or martial arts rules. Each blow was more fierce and heavy than the last, causing his knuckles to burst and his internal energy to dissipate.

When he fell from the corpse of the strange beast mount and was about to fly up, he found that Li Guanyi's Qilin mount had opened its mouth, and golden-red flames lit up between its fangs.

The angle at which Qi Junsong fell was just right for Qilin's mouth.

The roar exploded.

The Kirin Fire that once burned Hou Zhongyu to death in his Vajra-indestructible state hit Qi Junsong, and Qi Junsong fell. The other lieutenants were still there. Li Guanyi raised his halberd and shouted, "I have conquered your commander!"

"According to the Qilin Army's military regulations, those who surrender will lay down their weapons and will not be killed!"

The young general shouted three times.

Because the Qilin Army had a very good reputation before, the elite troops of the Chen State had to lay down their weapons and admit defeat when they saw their main general fall from their horses. For a while, the sound of weapons falling was continuous.

Li Guanyin asked these soldiers to tie their own hands. When he finally tied all the ropes together, Qi Junsong, who was burned to ashes, gritted his teeth and said, "You, you!!!"

"You're just one person!? Only one person?!"

The resentment, anger, and endless humiliation in his heart almost turned into substance and gnawed at his heart - if the old-faced general of the fifth level and a thousand elite soldiers formed an army and fought the enemy in an upright manner, it would be difficult for Li Guanyi to win.

There are generals who have an army under their command, and generals whose army is in chaos.

The strength that can be exerted is completely different.

This is also the reason why Li Guanyi chose to deal with them in this way.

Qi Junsong was unwilling to accept this and said, "How despicable!"

The young general smiled and said, "Warfare is the art of deception. General Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been recently?" Qi Junsong felt so angry that he wanted to vomit, but he saw that the soldiers had all dropped their weapons. The young man asked the soldiers to tie themselves up in a special way.

At this moment, some people stood up and tried to escape, but they couldn't break free.

Li Guanyi said: "Don't worry, you can't break free."

The young man smiled brightly and gently, and was kind and harmless: "This is a binding method that I specially practiced for [that gentleman] under the guidance of Lei Laomeng."

"I heard that the Divine Beast Villa uses this method to tie up old goats."

"No matter how cunning the guy is, he can't break free."

Qi Junsong was depressed, and was curious about who "that gentleman" was. He subconsciously felt that "that gentleman" was really unlucky, and then he realized another extremely terrifying thing -

"You alone defeated and annihilated a thousand of us?"

Even a guy like Qi Junsong, who had been in the officialdom for a long time and had already immersed his heroic spirit as a general in wine, felt a sense of despair and shame at this moment, and wished he could commit suicide instantly.

One man can defeat a thousand troops.

Why is such a person an enemy of our country!
The silver-haired man watched this scene from afar and couldn't help but agree.

The expression on his face unconsciously relaxed a lot.

"But it's not an exaggeration."

Li Guanyi replied: "It's not one person, it's two people."

Qi Junsong subconsciously asked: "What?"

But they saw the young man riding the Qilin forward a few steps, and then on the cliff on one side, the silver-haired girl was holding the so-called "banner", which was actually a red cloth provided by the Gongsun family, and at this moment one side was tied to a tree on the mountain.

The silver-haired girl reached out her hand, grabbed the red silk cloth, and jumped off the cliff.

The red silk cloth was pulled open, swaying in the wind like a sunset glow. The girl's clothes fluttered, and she looked like a fairy in the sky who had mistakenly entered the depths of the clouds and fell into the clouds. The Qilin shook his head, suddenly leaped into the air, and his steps in the air were like refining fire.

The young general stretched out his hand, and the silver-haired girl rushed steadily into his arms.

The Qilin stepped into the air with its front paws, and a flaming lotus blossomed before landing steadily. A red silk cloth fell from the sky, and the silver-haired girl's hair fell down. The young general smiled slightly and said, "It's two people."

Qi Junsong was speechless.

The silver-haired man watched the scene, his right hand pressed on the rock wall next to him.

The rock wall collapsed and disappeared silently.

Li Guanyi didn't care about that. Qilin turned into a long-haired cat and lay on Li Guanyi's shoulder. The young man gently touched Qilin's head and said to Yaoguang: "This way, I can report to Master's wife."

"I should say, it's pretty good, right?"

Li Guanyi had determined the terrain of this place before, and he made a judgment almost immediately, understanding the strategy that Qi Junsong would adopt. He also used the qi-watching technique taught by old man Siming to detect a trace of evil military aura that would definitely be overlooked if he didn't look carefully.

Therefore, she was fully confident that she could lead these defeated soldiers along the same road to the Gongsun family. However, Gongsun Wu Yue had already gathered thirty craftsmen. Although she was the head of the Gongsun family, the Gongsun family still had some objections to her handing over these first-class craftsmen in one go.

Gongsun Feixue said, "Grandma, he has been gone for more than an hour."

"The snacks are a little warm."

After an old man with a white beard learned about the patriarch's plan, he did not have the courage to refute Gongsun Wuyue, who had controlled the Gongsun family for sixty years. He could only pack his luggage while blowing his beard and glaring, saying, "Isn't he just bragging?"

"What do you mean by warming up the snacks? How is that possible! Little guy, you are boasting before your beard even grows out. What about Li Guanyi and the Qilin Army? They are just relying on the influence of their ancestors and the foundation of the Taiping Army! It's hard for a young hero to be worthy of his title."

At this moment, Gongsun Feixue's expression suddenly changed drastically. She rushed in and said, "Grandma, and the elder, something is wrong!"

Gongsun Wuyue said calmly: "What's wrong?"

Gongsun Feixue said: "Li Guanyi is back, he came from the side door!"

Gongsun Wu Yue said: "Isn't that perfect? ​​What's wrong?" Gongsun Feixue's beautiful face flushed. She has always been quick-witted and eloquent, but at this time, the young master of Piao Miao Pavilion was speechless.

The scene she had just seen flashed before her eyes, and her heart was pounding.

The door opened, and the young man rode in. He let the silver-haired girl get off first, then he turned over and landed on the ground, saying:
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

The side door of Gongsun Family was completely opened. Li Guanyi pulled the rope in his hand, and Qilin was holding them from behind to prevent them from escaping. A large group of people stood there, spreading down from the steps of the side door of Gongsun Family.

A vast sea of ​​darkness.

The expressions on the faces of Gongsun Wu Yue, Gongsun Fei Xue, and all the elders and masters froze little by little.

Li Guanyi said: "I miscalculated the time."

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Because I'm worried that after these thousand soldiers leave, they will attract more people, so I just brought them all here. The thousand soldiers and Chen Guo's fourth-rank general Qi Junsong are all here."

Li Guanyi pulled these people, Qilin roared behind them, and the weapons of the thousand people were confiscated, their arms and meridians were tied up, and they had to move forward.

He deliberately gave the wrong time, making the elders wait a little longer.

Then he picked up the snack and handed it to Yaoguang.

The Gongsun family's great elder's expression froze, and he stammered, "You, alone..."

"It's two people, and my good friend."

The young general emphasized it, then smiled and saluted with his arms crossed. He looked at these dazed and distracted Gongsun family elders and masters calmly, with an extremely calm demeanor, neither hurried nor slow, and said:

"Everyone."

"Do you know Li Guanyi from Jiangnan?"
