Underworld entries, starting with ghost stories.

There is a person on the left; he is a famous general.

There is a person on the right, who is also a famous general.

Wu Qing never expected to encounter two famous generals here.

Moreover, both of these famous generals looked very young; even the dark-skinned youth was probably only seventeen or eighteen years old.

His mind raced with thoughts.

This dark-skinned young man was relatively easy to guess; since he was from the same hometown as the young lady, he was naturally a fellow townsman of Dou Jiande.

This person must be Liu Heita.

With this thought in mind, he looked again.

The description on the dark-skinned youth has changed.

— "Liu Heita (a famous general)".

Liu Heita was a military talent of this era who was easily overlooked by later generations, but his actual ability to lead troops was probably only second to Li Erfeng and Li Jing.

When he served under Dou Jiande, his main role was as a spy, and he was not able to fully utilize his abilities.

But after Dou Jiande's death, the entire Hebei region had been occupied by the Li Tang dynasty.

He regrouped his forces and confronted the Tang Dynasty, which was at its zenith after the defeat of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, killing many well-known generals such as Li Daoxuan, Li Xuantong, Luo Shixin, and Shi Quanwei.

Among those defeated or captured were Xu Shiji, Li Shentong, Luo Yi, Xue Wanche, Wang Junkuo, and others.

These are all famous figures in history books; countless lesser-known Tang Dynasty governors and generals were wiped out by him.

Almost all the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty had been defeated by him. Li Erfeng was also ambushed and surrounded by him. It was only thanks to Yuchi Jingde's desperate charge that she was able to break through the encirclement.

In the end, Li Erfeng relied on her own strength to injure the enemy. During the battle between the two armies, she released a flood from upstream, drowning both sides' troops and successfully defeating Liu Heita.

Of course, a very important factor in Liu Heita's ability to fight with such momentum was that Li Yuan initially did not send Li Erfeng into battle.

Because Li Erfeng captured two kings in one battle, Li Yuan was worried that this son would become even more powerful.

So he sent the Crown Prince, along with Li Daoxuan, Li Xuantong, Luo Shixin, and others, with several times the number of troops as Liu Heita to destroy him, thinking that would be enough.

As a result, Liu Heita killed all of Li Yuan's capable generals in one fell swoop.

This also led to the fact that most of the military generals in the Xuanwu Gate Incident were Li Erfeng's men.

Li Yuan had lost all the generals he could use, so he had no choice but to send Li Erfeng to pacify Hebei again.

Therefore, Li Erfeng was indeed facing Liu Heita, who had already established a strong momentum, to the point that even a famous general like Xu Shiji was defeated and his entire army was wiped out, forcing him to flee alone.

Wu Qing thought to himself, "At this time, Liu Heita will indeed be in this area. He was originally in Changbai Mountain and was a member of the anti-Sui rebel army in Changbai Mountain."

"Now that Wang Bo has been defeated, Liu Heita is fleeing to Henan. He will temporarily join the Wagang Army, but since he is not one of the sworn brothers of Wagang Village, he will not have a good position."

"After that, he would follow Shan Xiongxin to join Wang Shichong, but like Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin and many others, he saw that Wang Shichong was unworthy and abandoned him to join Dou Jiande, who was from the same hometown as him."

Wu Qing had indeed considered finding Liu Heita first.

However, the tyrannical emperor implemented a policy of collective punishment. After Dou Jiande rebelled, his fellow villagers either fled, died, or rebelled, and no one could be found.

I just didn't expect to run into you here.

Liu Heita was originally just a farmer who learned some simplified versions of the Dou family's spear technique, which was then passed down to his fellow villagers. Therefore, his martial arts skills were not particularly outstanding.

Facing a boy who was slightly younger than him but clearly inherited the spear techniques of a famous general, the situation was getting worse and worse.

Wu Qing looked closely and saw that the boy's spear was inscribed with "Chongfeng Spear Technique (Fifth Rank)".

This young man's strength should be comparable to that of the young lady, being at the sixth realm, but he is using fifth-grade martial arts.

The Dou family's spear technique is only at the sixth rank, which is understandable, since the Dou family has been farmers for generations. It was only during the generation of Miss Dou's grandfather that they had the opportunity to learn martial arts. It was already quite an achievement that they were able to create a sixth-rank spear technique.

He thought to himself, "It's not the Luo family spear technique, so it seems it's not Luo Cheng."

"That's normal. Although Luo Cheng is young, he must be at least eighteen or nineteen at this time. Moreover, with Luo Cheng's martial arts skills, even if he didn't want to hurt anyone, he could easily win right now."

He could tell that the young man had held back against Liu Heita.

He asked in a low voice, "Young Miss, have you ever heard of the Phoenix Spear Technique?"

Dou Xianniang exclaimed in surprise, "The Phoenix Spear Technique? There is a chivalrous hero in Wuyi County named Su Yong! This Phoenix Spear Technique is a martial art passed down through his family for generations."

Su Yong? I haven't heard that name before.

Wait a minute, this boy surnamed Su... is only fourteen or fifteen years old at this time... leading a group of martial artists towards Hebei... he will become a famous general in the future...

Just then, he saw Liu Heita's right hand holding a lance, gently spinning it.

There was an inscription hanging behind the horse spear.

—"Hidden Weapon: Rain of Poison Needles!"

It turned out it wasn't a lance, but a long spear with a long tube attached to the back, containing a poisoned needle hidden inside.

A thought flashed through his mind: "Something's not right!"

Holding a feather fan, he shouted downwards, "Are you two Brother Liu Heita and Young Master Su Dingfang? Stop for now and hear me out."

The two famous generals below, after their lances and silver-tasseled spears clashed, stepped aside and looked in his direction.

Despite clearly having the upper hand, Su Dingfang, for some reason, never actually killed the enemy.

Although Liu Heita had concealed a poisoned needle, he hesitated. After all, he could tell that the young man opposite him had long had the opportunity to kill him, but he had always held back.

Wu Qing was also very anxious because these two people had a very good relationship in history, and this was a battle that turned into friendship after a fight.

Seeing that Su Dingfang did not want to kill anyone, Liu Heita, though possessing poisoned needles, did not want to use them.

If he doesn't shout it out soon, the two of them will probably have to find a way to reconcile on their own, and he won't have the chance to shout it out.

Liu Heita and Su Dingfang turned their horses around, stepped back half a zhang, and looked up at the slope together.

There were more than thirty people on the slope, and the one shouting was a boy.

The young man wore a scholar's cap and waved a feather fan. He was handsome and had a charming and infectious smile.

He rode a white horse, dressed as a wise man, with a female warrior in soft armor carrying a green dragon halberd beside him, and a pretty young woman riding a pony in a light blue high-waisted ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress).

Liu Heita shouted, "Who are you? How do you know me?"

Su Dingfang also looked up at the young man with the feather fan, who wasn't much older than himself, and asked loudly, "Who are you?"

Liu Heita has a rough voice.

Although Su Dingfang was more refined, his voice was equally powerful.

Wu Qing slowly dismounted his horse and came to the front of them. Holding a fan in both hands, he smiled and said, "I am Wu Qing, the advisor of Wuji Village. I have some ability to judge people."

"Neither of you are ordinary people. Since I want to know all the heroes in the world, I will naturally know about you two."

However, at this time, neither Liu Heita nor Su Dingfang had yet made a name for themselves.

Seeing that this person could suddenly call out their names even though they didn't know each other, they were secretly surprised and felt that this person was extremely mysterious.
