Although I am old, my arrows are still sharp!
Chapter 151 Although I am old, my arrows are still sharp! (Thanks to yeamiko for the monthly ticket support~)
"Is this where Huang Zhong is?"
Wei Yan looked at the gate of You County with a hint of disdain on his face:
“I heard that Huang Zhong is already 47 years old, so he is considered an old man.
"At his age, how can he be brave? My lord, do you think he is Lian Po?"
Chen Gong shook his head:
"My lord has always been very good at judging people. All the generals and civil servants he promoted have their own outstanding qualities.
“Isn’t it the same with Wenchang? He is so young, yet he is entrusted with such an important task. This is rarely seen in other armies.
"So Chen believes that the lord will not make the wrong choice this time."
Wei Yan smiled slightly and touched a protruding bone on the back of his head:
"That's true... If that's the case, then let me, Wei Yan, see how capable Huang Zhong is!"
If Lu Bu had not intercepted Wei Yan on the way to Lujiang, he would definitely know Huang Zhong by now.
But unfortunately, once the historical line changes, the fate of many people will be changed...
Chen Gong and Wei Yan just approached the city gate as ordinary people.
The one hundred soldiers they brought were waiting at a place far away from the city.
There were many people coming in and out of the city gate, and many farmers were carrying farm tools to go out to farm.
There were also many merchants driving horse-drawn carriages into the city to do business.
Chen Gong's eyes swept across the city wall.
Soon, a middle-aged veteran with a golden helmet, flowing white beard and a stern face was seen communicating with his subordinates.
Chen Gong immediately approached a gatekeeper, secretly gave him a silver ingot, pointed at the general on the tower and asked:
"Soldier, could the person upstairs be General Huang Zhong Huang Hansheng?"
The soldier squeezed the heavy silver ingot, and the corners of his mouth rose in surprise:
"Yes, that is General Huang, the General of the Central Army. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"
Chen Gong handed over another silver ingot and smiled slightly:
"Could you please introduce me to someone? I'll say that Lu Bu's subordinate Zhizhong Gongshi wants to meet General Huang."
"Government?"
The soldier looked at Chen Gong suspiciously, but the next moment, he suddenly reacted and his expression changed instantly:
"Zhi, Zhizhong Shigong?! A fifth-rank official position?!
"My Lord! I am sorry that I cannot recognize a great man. I will introduce him to you right away!"
Chen Gong patted the soldier on the shoulder:
"No need to be so polite. I have a request of yours, and you have done nothing wrong."
The soldier smiled innocently, and immediately brought Chen Gong and Wei Yan to the top of the tower. He bowed to the old general with white beard and said:
"General Huang, the General of Lu Bu's army, Zhizhong Gongshi and General Huwei, have come to pay their respects to you!"
"Lv Bu's army?"
When Huang Zhong heard Lu Bu's name, his brows twisted into a knot and his cold eyes swept towards Chen Gong and Wei Yan.
Seeing Huang Zhong's attitude, Chen Gong secretly thought that something was wrong.
As expected, Huang Zhong suddenly grabbed the big knife leaning against the wall and slashed directly at Chen Gong!
Chen Gong's face changed drastically!
However, the next moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew beside him.
A huge snow-white sword with a blade like a white tiger was quickly raised and collided violently with Huang Zhong's red blood sword!
Huang Zhong did not use his full strength, but Wei Yan did his best to defend himself.
After the clanging collision, Huang Zhong was shocked and was actually pushed back a step by the powerful force!
Huang Zhong looked at Wei Yan with some surprise, thinking that this guy is so young, but so strong!
Upon seeing this, Chen Gong quickly pulled Wei Yan back and bowed to Huang Zhong again:
"General Huang, please don't be angry! I am here on the orders of my master to come and pay my sincere respects to General Huang!" "Is this how General Huang treats the two of us?"
Huang Zhong snorted coldly:
"Liu Biao, the governor, has been very kind to me!
“Your master occupied his territory on trumped-up charges and forced him to death in public!
“Although I, Huang Zhong, don’t have much ability, I always repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge!
"For Governor Han's sake, please leave immediately!
"Otherwise, don't blame me for using my bloody sword to kill people!"
Upon hearing Huang Zhong's disrespectful words, Wei Yan started to curse:
"You old bastard! My master specifically asked you to come and pay us a visit.
"I never thought you were such a blind person!
"Liu Biao collected money from the people and planned to give it to the court to buy an official position!
"How dare you avenge such a person who harms the people and loses his moral integrity? Are you and him the same?
"Now that Governor Han Xuan has decided to submit to our army, do you want my army to sweep across Changsha?"
After hearing Wei Yan's curse, Huang Zhong became furious!
He immediately swung the blood-red sword in his hand, a cold light flashed, and the tip of the sword attacked Wei Yan's throat!
Wei Yan was not afraid at all, wielding the White Tiger Sun-Devouring Sword with unstoppable momentum!
The two excellent weapons collided with each other, making a clear and powerful clanging sound!
The two of them started fighting directly on the city wall.
Chen Gong and the soldiers on the side wanted to stop them, but they didn't dare to step forward and could only let them fight continuously!
But soon, admiration appeared in the eyes of the soldiers and Chen Gong.
It was Wei Yan whom the soldiers admired.
This kid is so young, yet he can fight on equal terms with their famous General Huang!
It’s a bit awesome!
But Chen Gong was the exact opposite.
He felt that Huang Zhong could actually fight on equal terms with Wei Wenchang, one of the top generals under his lord.
It’s a bit fierce!
No wonder the lord attaches so much importance to the other party.
But for now, let them have a good fight.
Military generals are different from civil officials.
Military generals have always communicated with each other through martial arts. If they can be defeated, they will often be convinced in their hearts.
Unlike the civil servants, who smile on the outside but are dying inside...
Soon, Huang Zhong, who was gradually getting into the state, shouted:
"This tower is too narrow, let's go down and fight!
"If you can defeat me today, I will follow you!"
"Okay! That's what you said! If I don't beat you, this old man, into submission today, I won't believe in Wei!"
As they spoke, the two of them came to the open space outside the city gate and continued fighting aggressively.
Many passing scholars, farmers, merchants and workers stopped unconsciously, watched the two people's pleasing fight, and kept applauding and cheering for them!
The battle between the two top dipping sauce masters is indeed very visually impactful!
But as the fight went on, Huang Zhong gradually became unable to cope.
At the age of forty-seven, I can already call myself an "old man".
Many did not even live to their forties.
Moreover, the body of a middle-aged or elderly person in his forties is indeed very different from that of a young person in his twenties!
After fighting for more than half an hour, Huang Zhong looked increasingly tired!
At a certain moment, he suddenly revealed a flaw and the sword in his hand slipped out of his hand for a short while.
Wei Yan seized the opportunity and stabbed Huang Zhong's abdomen with the sword in his hand!
But just when the knife was about to hit Huang Zhong, the corner of Huang Zhong's mouth curled up quietly.
He caught the precious sword that had slipped out of his hand with his backhand and swept it out horizontally, bringing out a surging sword wind!
But what he didn't expect was that Wei Yan actually curled the corners of his mouth, obviously seeing through the flaw he deliberately exposed.
The White Tiger Sun-Devouring Sword was suddenly raised up, and with great force it knocked the Red Blood Sword away!
Taking advantage of Huang Zhong's weakness, Wei Yan swung his sharp blade towards the tip of Huang Zhong's nose!
