Shipin Dalizheng

Chapter 269 Invincible

Within an hour, Rong Tang and his men caught up with the 30,000-strong Rong family army led by Wang Biao.

Rong Zhan also asked: "Master, do you want to go around for a while?"

"Go for it, just go there."

He kicked the horse's belly, the long whip made a crisp sound, and it kicked up a cloud of dust and rushed past from the side like a whirlwind.

The Rong family army was very unhappy, but only the commander and generals had horses, and more than 80% of them were infantry, so they could only stare blankly and eat dust.

Wang Biao, the commander of the Rong family army, was furious and cursed loudly. He wanted to chase after him and fight, but he had a good horse but his subordinates did not. Abandoning his subordinates to fight for personal gain was a taboo in leading an army. He could only point his whip at Rong Tang and threaten, "Sooner or later, I will beat this arrogant boy into a pig's brain."

Zheng Changning covered his mouth and nose, staring at the flag that was flying away like the wind in a daze. It turned out that what he said was true. He had never thought of taking over the Rong Family Army. Now he had his own independent unit called the Rong Family New Army. Without the Rong family members, would the Rong Family Army still be the Rong Family Army?

After getting rid of the Rong family army's sight, Rong Tang led his men to another fork in the road. He would not take the same road as Wang Biao. He had a secret way to cross the river.

At noon, they took a break to prepare lunch. Eleven to twenty were very considerate in cooking and feeding the horses. Rong Tang took out a map to indicate the route. Scouts were essential for marching. Youzi originally did this job and expressed his willingness to continue this position.

After the meal, Youzi went ahead and everyone continued to rest. Half an hour later, they continued on their journey. When Rong Jia forcibly pulled Li Dequan up, he almost cried.

"Young Master, please spare me and give me a carriage! My old butt is bleeding from being rubbed."

Rong Tang would never agree to his request and forced him onto the horse. "Eunuch Li, hold on. When we achieve merit, you will also have a big share."

The cake smelled very good, even though it was a picture. Li Dequan cursed and continued to shake his old buttocks.

We galloped all the way and by dusk we were four hundred miles away from Shangjing.

One person and one horse should not be greedy on the road, otherwise the person can bear it but the horse cannot. So they set up camp at a place with abundant water and grass that Youzi had found.

Old Tan found a moment when no one was paying attention to report, "Uncle, Eleven and the others are not normal."

“You found it!”

This meant Rong Tang had also discovered it. Old Tan said, "They've been looking for opportunities to leave hidden marks along the way, probably waiting for someone to track them down. I've told the other brothers to erase any marks they see."

Rong Tang was amused. "Not really. They can still believe it."

Old Tan frowned. This group of people looked like gangs. Was the young master sure he could suppress them?

Rong Tang patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I know their leader, so it's fine."

Compared to others, he naturally trusted the veterans of Fuxinzhuang more, as this was the legacy of the old Earl of Jian'an. But he didn't completely distrust Wu Ji's men either, as they were all from the underworld, and the underworld had its own rules.

He turned the obsidian ring on his hand. These people would obey him until they met Wu Ji himself.

"Uncle Tan, call everyone over here. I'll teach you our own secret code to facilitate the transmission of messages."

Rong Tang taught them sign language and numerical codes. Although they could not learn them completely overnight, they learned a little bit every day and had to apply it the next day. After a long time, they would naturally memorize it.

Everyone was planning to go to the battlefield. Of course, learning a little skill would mean an extra guarantee of life, so they all studied very seriously. However, Li Dequan suffered a lot. He was a eunuch and was forced to use his brain from scratch. His wailing was endless.

In the middle of the night, Rong Tang sat up in shock, only to feel a breeze brushing his cheek and the tent curtain swaying slightly under the moonlight.

He rushed out and looked around, but didn't see any trace of Chenchen.

Rong Shen, who was on night watch, floated down in front of him. "Master, what's wrong?"

"Someone just now."

Rong Shen looked around nervously, but could not see anyone anywhere.

Rong Zhan and the others also stood up and checked around. They didn't see any suspicious figures. They returned to Rong Tang, who was already stroking his chin thoughtfully. "Everyone go and rest, everything is fine."

In the second half of the night, we naturally increased our vigilance and stayed safe until dawn.

The next day, they hurried and walked another 400 miles. During the journey, they passed through a county town and replenished their drinking water.

They camped again at night, and the night watchmen were divided into two shifts, two people in a group. Of course, they didn't find anything unusual.

It was the next morning, when they were breaking camp, that Rong Zhan called out to Rong Tang to get up. When he didn't respond, he knew something was amiss. As expected, when they dismantled the tent, they saw Old Wen lying near the tent curtain, a leg of lamb in his mouth. Only his eyes could move.

Rong Zhan and the others were all numb. They found a rope to tie up Lao Wen, then helped Rong Tang up, wiped his face clean, and fed him.

Aside from those few who showed no significant reaction, everyone else was stunned, especially Li Dequan, who was jumping up and down. "Who is this? Sneaking into the military camp late at night, he doesn't want to live anymore."

Old Wen spat out a large mouthful of meat with great effort and said viciously, "I am Wen Ruyu."

The veterans of Fuxinzhuang still didn't know the severity of the situation. Eleven to twenty were shocked. Eleven said, "The sword points to Tiannan, Wen Ruyu."

Old Wen said proudly: "Not bad, you have some knowledge."

Eleven was about to untie the ropes when Rong Zhan stopped him. "We need to be clear about this. We all know that Senior Wen is a hero of the martial arts world, and we all admire him. However, the martial arts world has its own rules, and we must not get involved in political disputes. We are going to reclaim Jiangnan. I wonder why Senior Wen is following us, and what his intentions are?"

Old Wen spat, "Tsk, what do you think I'm going to do to this kid? No matter what I do to him, all of you combined are no match for me. Hurry up and let me go."

Rong Zhan said, "Senior, your martial arts skills are so great that we cannot even begin to compare to you. But you thought we were incapable of protecting ourselves, which was a grave mistake. The one in front of you has been captured alive by us."

Old Wen cursed, "How dare you say you can capture me alive? If this guy hadn't sacrificed himself to light the incense, would I have been captured by you?"

"Caught is caught. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. The master has been charmed. It won't take more than a few hours. The senior has been charmed. Now his life and death are at the mercy of our thoughts."

"How dare you!"

"Why not? Senior, do you think this is still Shangjing territory? Are we worried about the influence of Master Zheng? We can shed your blood here, and when we meet Master Zheng in the future, we can just say we've never seen you. What can he do?"

Old Wen was almost mad, glaring at Rong Tang, "Boy, don't make me lose my temper..."

"Senior Wen, please don't make me lose my temper. I really don't like people who have no sense of boundaries." Rong Tang finished his meal and pointed at Rong Shen with a soft hand, "Show us some skills to Old Wen. Don't let him think we're easy to bully."

Rong Shen's face was solemn. He took out a detonator from the medicine box on Rong Tang's horse's back, placed it in a big crevice of the rocks not far away, lit the fuse and ran for his life. Not only him, Rong Zhan howled "Get down", and the others didn't understand why, but military orders were like mountains, so they covered their ears and got down as well. Before Lao Wen could laugh out loud, there was a loud "bang", the rocks collapsed and flew away, his feet trembled, and Lao Wen became deaf.

It took a long time for his hearing and consciousness to return, and his mouth was wide enough to fit an egg.

Rong Tang scratched his ears and said loudly, "See, Old Wen, it's not that we don't have the ability to resist, we just respect you. It's not easy for you to become famous. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, can they be greater than this heaven-destroying force? No matter how strong your body is, can it be harder than this huge rock?"

Old Wen watched with his own eyes as the huge stone was shattered into pieces. The enormous power was a strength that he could not achieve even after practicing for a hundred years. All along, people really tolerated him.

How ridiculous! He always thought he was invincible.
