Chapter 58 Cixi Stream
The three words "Zhou Tianshi" were uttered from Li Mi's mouth and entered Zhao Tuo's ears.
It really was like a bolt of thunder!
Others might take time to react when they heard "Master Zhou Tianshi", but he, a martial arts fanatic, knew who it was instantly.
Suddenly, a green shadow flew over from the side of the inconspicuous haystack!
Zhao Tuo was battling Li Mi in internal strength, and there was no way to avoid it.
Although Li Mi was a local overlord, he had not recovered from the injury inflicted by Zhang Xutuo.
Therefore, when Li Mi suddenly used the Disha Gong to attack him just now, he was able to rely on his own strength to break free from that force.
Zhao Tuo's mind raced.
"Now, as long as I can withstand this man's attack, I will use his strength to escape Li Mi's Earthly Evil Palm. Even if it means getting injured, the Taishou Mansion and You Hongda's men will press forward in an instant, and the situation will be reversed immediately."
"Although this person has a precious book, his skills are still immature."
"I have practiced Taiyue protective Qi for over forty years, and the Qi flows through my skin, hair, tendons, and bones."
That’s right!
It will be very difficult for him to break my energy!
Zhao Tuo's mind moved, and his neck puffed up again. This time, he used the Toad Skill to defend himself, allowing the protective energy to flow quickly!
Zhou Yi put two fingers together and pointed at his lower back!
It is the Mingmen point on the Du meridian!
Zhao Tuo's external training skills were extremely powerful, and Zhou Yi's point was like hitting iron.
However, the Tianhan Ningshuang method brought his true energy directly out from the Shaoshang acupoint and hit the Gangqi hard!
The true energy was like a sword, and Zhao Tuo suddenly felt a chill.
Even Zhou Yidou Zhuanxingyi couldn't get rid of this secret method of Quanxing.
Although Zhao Tuo's energy is strong, it is impenetrable.
But Zhou Yi broke through the surface with a point and suddenly exerted force!
The cold sword of true energy was like stabbing into a layer of window paper, directly piercing through Taiyue's protective energy!
Zhao Tuo's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.
He was keenly sensing the energy that was invading his body.
The protective qi was broken!
How is this possible!
His whole body stiffened and he shivered from the cold. Because he and Li Mi were fighting, his true energy was circulating rapidly.
The cold air invaded and flowed along with the true energy in his body.
In an instant, the whole body became stiff from the Mingmen through the Ren and Du meridians!
A chill that penetrates the heart
Finished
The coldness cleared Zhao Tuo's mind. He then became thoughtful and thought of the key point. He lowered his voice and said:
"Is this the Taiping Hongbao?"
"Amazing! It's truly a treasured book."
Madness and greed flashed in his eyes, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood towards the sky.
“Ugh~!”
Li Mi smiled coldly and hit Zhao Tuo with a palm, deliberately hitting his heart vein so as not to kill him.
The blood splattered all over Li Mi's body.
But he didn't dislike it at all, and took Zhao Tuo to his side.
His long sword was knocked away by Zhao Tuo, so he took out the precious blade given by Zhou Yi from his arms and put it directly on Zhao Tuo's throat.
When Zhou Yi saw the precious blade, he felt a little uneasy.
Zhao Tuo was held hostage by Li Mi, his head tilted, his chest and mouth covered in blood, and a sharp blade was placed on his neck.
He should have been in despair, but unexpectedly, he was very calm.
A pair of eyes were fixed on Zhou Yi.
He ignored Li Mi behind him and said to Zhou Yi in a weak voice:
"Master Zhou, I've been looking for you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to fall into my trap."
"This Taiping Hongbao is amazing. It can actually penetrate my protective Qi. If you give me the treasure book, I will spare your life."
Zhou Yi felt that he had gone crazy: "Zhao Taishou, do you still have the life to practice martial arts?"
Zhao Tuo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't worry, my life will not be lost."
"If Li Miruo kills me, can he get away by himself?"
As soon as Zhao Tuo finished speaking, thousands of torches around him shone forward!
"Let the prefect go!" the master of the prefect's mansion shouted!
The masters of Pushan Public Camp retreated to the campfire near Li Mi and confronted the masters of Taishou Mansion at the door of the tea shed.
You Hongda shouted:
"All Huaiyang County soldiers must advance, and the rest of the troops must surround them. Cavalry must patrol the periphery. Don't let a single fly escape!"
"yes!"
All the surrounding soldiers obeyed the order.
The situation seemed to be at a stalemate, and Zhou Yi glanced at Li Mi.
This guy put himself in the game and designed such a big trap. It is absolutely impossible to say that he has no back-up plan.
Zhao Tuo was too happy too early.
At this time, the surrounding armies pressed forward again, putting pressure on the Pushan Public Camp.
It is very difficult to break out of the army.
"Let the prefect go!" The master from the Huaiyang County Prefect's Mansion shouted as he moved forward.
Li Mi said nothing, but pressed the blade against Zhao Tuo's throat.
The people in the prefectural government who were originally approaching became cautious and fearful.
At this time, several sounds of breaking through the air were heard one after another!
There are experts hiding behind the tea stall, six or seven of them appear at once!
All these new masters fell beside Li Mi.
"Secret Lord!"
They shouted in unison.
As soon as these people appeared, they surrounded Li Mi and Zhou Yi and protected them.
Zhou Yi saw an old acquaintance, it was Ma Shouyi.
"Old Ma, I didn't expect you to be here too."
Ma Shouyi's old face was long and gloomy, and he didn't want to see him.
Especially when I heard the name "Lao Ma", I felt uncomfortable all over.
"Master Zhou, are we that familiar with each other?"
"We are very familiar with each other," Zhou Yi leaned towards him, "We are old friends from Yongqiu."
Lao Ma sneered, stopped talking, and took a few steps away from him.
Instead, a fragrant breeze blew over, and Zhou Yi saw a beautiful woman in white, with long hair hanging down her shoulders, and she was graceful.
Especially those eyes, even though he was surrounded by thousands of soldiers, he was extremely calm and showed no fear.
It was none other than Shen Luoyan, the first military advisor of Pushan Public Camp.
There was another person next to her, also dressed in white, tall and straight.
It was the White-robed Divine Arrow, Wang Bodang.
"Luoyan, this is the legendary Master Zhou Tianshi. This is the first time I've seen him."
Wang Bodang laughed and said, "No wonder Sigui is obsessed with it. He is indeed a handsome man."
Governor Zhao also nodded in agreement: "He is indeed more handsome than the portrait I saw."
After he finished speaking, he said to Zhou Yi:
"Master Zhou, if you give me the Taiping Hongbao, I will not only guarantee your survival, but I will also capture this beautiful woman in white for you to enjoy. How do you think?"
Zhou Yi said, "Zhao Taishou, do you know how to write the word 'death'?"
Zhao Tuo looked around and saw that they were all his own troops.
Even though I've been tricked, what is there to be afraid of?
Zhou Yi replied to Wang Bodang: "I haven't seen Brother Sigui. I think he is preparing a surprise for Governor Zhao."
Shen Luoyan smiled mysteriously: "Hearing about it is not as good as meeting it in person. Master Zhou is very smart, even Luoyan can't compare to him."
She came to Zhou Yi, leaned in close and asked in a low voice:
"Master Zhou is here today, is he here to collect a debt from Master Mi, or is he here to join our Pushan Gong camp? Master Zhou's debt collection methods are truly ruthless. Luo Yan can't sleep well every time he thinks of them."
"Military advisor, don't worry."
Zhou Yi spoke quickly, "Mr. Mi and I hit it off immediately. It's a shame we met so late. This Governor Zhao wanted to harm Mr. Mi, so I didn't hesitate to attack him."
"Words are nothing compared to actions. I have proven everything."
He who knows the current affairs of the times is a hero. For the time being, Zhou Yi can only speak against his conscience.
Zhao Tuo snorted disdainfully, "That's indeed true. If it weren't for your surprise attack, Li Mi would have been wishful thinking to defeat me despite his injuries."
"As expected of the overlord of Huaiyang County, he remains calm even now."
Shen Luoyan moved lightly: "Zhao Taishou, the chaos in the world has been resolved. With your ability, why do you have to defend the Huaiyang County?"
"If we join forces, Yingchuan and Runan will be easily within our grasp. Why would we have to fight to the death?"
"Master Zhou is also from our Pushan Public Camp. We will all be on the same path. It would be difficult for you to learn Taiping Hongbao."
Zhou Yi said casually, "Military Advisor said he would give you Taiping Hongbao, so naturally he will give it to you."
After hearing this, all the staff of Huaiyang Prefecture were stunned.
You Hongda outside was shocked.
Now he became an outsider.
"Zhao Taishou, are you going to rebel too?!"
You Hongda reminded loudly: "General Zhang's troops are not far from Huaiyang County!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people who were confused immediately came to their senses.
Once there is a rebellion, Zhang Xutuo will arrive.
Who can stop it?
Zhao Tuo was not fooled: "Captain You, she is trying to sow discord. How could I be a traitor?"
"oh?"
Shen Luoyan asked in return:
"Zhao Ke, the cousin of the prefect, followed Hao Xiaode of Pingyuan Commandery. He had a Keyuan Martial Arts Field under his command. Many of the masters who died here today were from Keyuan Martial Arts Field."
"In this case, isn't it true that Governor Zhao is colluding with Hao Xiaode?"
"Captain You, who dispersed the 40,000 troops that Hao Xiaode recruited after his rebellion?"
You Hongda said sternly, "Of course it's General Zhang."
Shen Luoyan spoke sharply: "Huaiyang County has long become the personal territory of Zhao Taishou. He can do whatever he wants. Rebellion is only a matter of time."
The soldiers of Huaiyang County and the masters of the prefectural government were immediately thrown into confusion.
The light of the torches flickered up and down, and people's hearts changed.
You Hongda felt something was wrong and quickly reminded Zhao Tuo:
"Zhao Taishou, if you remain loyal and sacrifice your life for the Sui Dynasty, I will go to the Eastern Capital to report to His Majesty!"
You Hongda could only shout like this, but he didn't dare to order a charge.
Because Shen Luoyan was right.
The soldiers of Huaiyang County and the masters of the prefectural government only obey Zhao Tuo.
He, You Hongda, had no power to command at all.
Once the order is given, people’s hearts will be divided and there will inevitably be chaos!
Zhao Tuo also understood the key point and turned to look at Li Mi: "Li Mi, I am not afraid of death. Don't even think about disrupting the morale of the army."
"At worst, we'll both perish together."
Then he looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Master Zhou will die too. On the road to the underworld, I can still get the precious book from you."
You Hongda watched from a distance.
Zhou Yi shook his head indifferently: "Zhao Taishou, this is probably just wishful thinking on your part."
You Hongda finally heard him finish his words.
suddenly!
There was a loud noise in the mountains, followed by rumbling sounds like thunder!
It seems like a large group of people are rushing towards us!
"What's going on? What's that sound?!" The army formation became increasingly chaotic.
It was the sound of a boulder rolling down.
There is also the sound of water!
Zhou Yi heard it, it was like the sound of a mountain torrent rushing down!
The rocks rolled and the mud and sand were carried away.
Along with this, there was the unusual sound of trees breaking, crackling.
The rumbling sound was extremely terrifying in the darkness, like a wild beast that was choosing its prey and was getting closer and closer!
People's hearts are already unstable, and with this change, there will be chaos!
Zhou Yi looked towards the mountain stream and saw Li Mi's smile.
All of a sudden he thought of the strange thing about this tea shed: it was built across a mountain stream!
The gullies that flashed through my mind, as well as the traces of silt beaches caused by the impact of water.
This tea shed was actually built by Li Mi's men.
The water flooded Cixi Creek!
This is a huge trap that has been laid long ago!
A voice kept shouting in the darkness:
"Water, it's a lot of water!"
“Run!!”
"Run!"
“…”
The situation was chaotic. Zhou Yi's eyes fixed, and he glanced at Wang Bodang and the bow and arrow in his hand.
His body swayed slightly, and he took half a step towards the old horse.
It is this moment of being close to Ma Shouyi.
Zhou Yi captured an incredible scene with his keen perception!
Lao Ma's gaze actually avoided himself and flew towards Li Mi.
The venom in the old man's eyes flashed, chilling Zhou Yi's heart.
