Zhangzhou is still brightly lit at night.
As a place on the eastern border of Xia Kingdom, the lights of Zhangzhou have never been extinguished.
On the tall and stretching city wall, a bonfire would stand at regular intervals, and a soldier would stand nearby, staring intently below.
This is the east wall of Zhangzhou City. The west wall is much less well guarded.
Although there are bonfires on the city wall, they are far apart and there are not many soldiers guarding them.
After all, going west is Liuzhou, which is the territory of Xia Kingdom, so there is no need to deploy a large number of troops to defend it.
Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves coming from the flat ground to the west, rapid and chaotic.
Soon, a small group of people emerged from the night.
The leader was a strong man with a sinewy face and a standard Xia hairstyle. His expensive clothes were in tatters and stained with blood.
Following the strong man was an old man, wearing a green robe, with messy hair and blood stains on his body.
These two people are Tuoba Yong and Wen Zhezhu.
Seeing that the city gate was close at hand, Tuoba Yong shouted loudly: "I am Tuoba Yong, the chief official of Liuzhou. There is an urgent military situation. Open the city gate quickly!"
"I am Tuoba Yong, the chief officer of Liuzhou. We have an urgent military situation. Open the city gate quickly!"
…
After shouting five times in a row, several soldiers finally appeared on the city wall, holding torches in their hands.
However, no one opened the city gate for him. Instead, they bent their bows and arrows, aiming at Tuoba Yong and others.
"Who is making a noise here? Why don't you leave quickly? Otherwise, I will shoot you here immediately!"
Tuoba Yong saw that several soldiers didn't take him seriously at all, so he yelled: "Open your dog eyes and take a look! I am Tuoba Yong. I have urgent military information to come to your family. If you dare to delay any longer, I will behead you immediately." !”
"I bother!"
A soldier spat at the city and cursed: "What kind of bullshit Tuoba Yong? My lord's surname is He, not Tuoba!"
Tuoba Yong had never been insulted like this before, but now that he was injured, he was unable to exert his strength as a martial artist. So he looked at Wen Zhezhu for help and said, "Mr. Zhu."
Wen Zhezhu frowned, put his hand on his shoulder, and then jumped up.
The next second, the two of them had appeared at the top of the city.
Several soldiers in the city were frightened on the spot.
Even a martial artist cannot jump up such a high city wall in one go, and he also brings a strong man with him.
The identity of the green-robed old man in front of him is self-evident. He must be a martial sect whose strength is above that of a martial artist!
"Snapped!"
Tuoba Yong slapped the soldier who had just spoken to him on the face and cursed: "You bitch, do you think I can't get in without opening the door?"
The soldier's face was instantly swollen, his head was buzzing, and he didn't know anything anymore.
"You bitch, I'll wait until I meet your adult first, and then I'll settle the score with you!"
Tuoba Yong specially emphasized the word "adult", and the sound of gritting his back molars made people shudder.
But he turned to Wen Zhezhu, showed a smiling face, and said, "Mr. Zhu, let's go!"
Wen Zhezhu nodded slightly, then glanced at the city and said, "Why don't you bring those of your subordinates with you?"
Tuoba Yong originally wanted to say "forget it", but suddenly thought that saying this would make Mr. Zhu think that he was too unsympathetic and unjust?
You know, those few people followed him when he was in danger. Now that he has arrived in Zhangzhou City, he has left them outside the city.
It was a dark place, with no shelter from the wind and rain, and several people were injured. Who knew whether the injuries would cause death?
"Snapped!"
Tuoba Yong slapped the soldier in the face again and angrily said, "Did you give a damn look? My brothers are still freezing and hungry outside the city. You don't know how to open the damn door and let them in." ?”
"Yes Yes Yes!"
The soldier nodded mechanically. He was already stunned and walked down the tower reflexively.
However, just as he was about to open the city gate, a voice sounded in his ears.
"Wait!"
The sound came from under the tower. At some point, two teams of soldiers came over.
The leader was a tall man, wearing a black battle armor and a hood that could only be worn by a general. He placed one hand on the sword on his waist and walked with his head held high.
"Li Lin!"
Tuobayong looked at the man walking over, and his expression suddenly became serious.
The person he least wanted to deal with in Zhangzhou was not He Lian, but the person who came over.
Although He Lian had conflicts with him, that guy was known to be greedy and lustful. If you gave a woman some money, he would immediately kowtow to you.
Li Lin is different!
He was a soldier through and through. He Lian was impressed by the money woman, but not him.
Although He Lian was the chief officer of Zhangzhou, it was Li Lin who actually managed the army, and He Lian only played a supervisory role.
The reason why He Lian was sent to supervise was that Li Lin was not a native, let alone a member of the Xia Kingdom. But his ability to lead troops is very strong, and Zhangzhou, a strategic location, needs him.
While guarding him, he also wanted to use him, so He Lian had to supervise him.
"General Li, I am Tuoba Yong. We have met before. Brother, the people under your command are ignorant. I have explained everything to him, but that bitch still won't let me in." Tuoba Yong stood on the city and shouted. road.
"Yeah?"
Li Lin's tone was cold and he looked at the beaten soldier expressionlessly.
The soldier was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a thud and banged his head on the ground.
"brush!"
The next moment, a bright light flashed, and the soldier's head flew into the air.
Immediately afterwards, a large amount of blood spurted out from his broken neck, blooming like fireworks.
Everyone was suddenly speechless, and the air around them seemed to freeze.
Li Lin took back his sword and said coldly: "I will kill you not because you said the wrong thing, but because you did not take my general's military orders to heart. I have told you long ago that once the curfew is entered, no matter whether he is No one, not even a dog, is allowed to enter the city!"
When Tuobayong heard this, he was so angry that his teeth itched. He was obviously scolding him!
At this moment, an old voice came from the city.
"Li Lin! You still have the same temper and haven't changed at all."
Li Lin suddenly raised his head and noticed Wen Zhezhu standing behind Tuobayong.
"Mr. Bamboo!"
Li Lin's originally stern face immediately showed a smile and said, "When did you arrive?"
Wen Zhezhu held Tuobayong's shoulders with one hand and jumped from the city to the ground. The blood stains on his clothes were so eye-catching under the firelight.
Li Lin was immediately surprised. He knew the strength of Mr. Zhu.
He had become a martial arts master more than ten years ago. It was at that time that he became attached to Mr. Bamboo, and his current cultivation level is even better than before.
"Mr. Zhu, who hurt you?" Li Lin was worried and angry at the same time.
"cough!"
As soon as Wen Zhezhu opened his mouth, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and his body became unstable.
"Mr. Bamboo!"
Li Lin quickly stepped forward to support him and said, "This is not the place to talk. Go to my house."
He ignored Tuoba Yong throughout the whole process, as if Tuoba Yong didn't exist at all.
Tuobayong was annoyed on the spot and said angrily: "I mean Li Lin, I've been standing here for so long, didn't you see anything?"
Li Lin said expressionlessly: "Are I familiar with you, general?"
Tuoba Yong almost choked to death at these words. If he hadn't been here, he would have cursed.
Now that he was under the eaves, he had to lower his head and could only try his best to put on a smile and said: "The first time is life, the second time is familiarity, the third time is a cup, and the fourth time is sleeping on the same bed. This is the third time we have met. I still need a drink, brother, I will definitely arrange for someone to make up for it."
He looked familiar. Seeing the impatience on Li Lin's face, he quickly returned to the topic.
"Brother, you don't know, those bastard savages from the high mountain country came to kill them again. I don't know why I offended them, Liuzhou who caught me kept digging!"
As he spoke, he gestured towards himself: "Did you see it? It was all done by those stupid savages from the mountain country. I almost couldn't see you, brother!"
At this point, he burst into tears and runny nose. He grabbed Li Lin's wrist and cried: "Brother, you have to make the decision for me! My brother's wife, children, and children are still in Liuzhou City! They are just waiting for you to send troops to rescue!" "
Li Lin looked disgusted and took his hand away and said: "I already know about this, but it is up to Lord He to decide whether to send troops. Lord Tuoba still needs to personally report this matter to Lord He."
"Okay, okay! I'm going to find He Lian now!"
Tuoba Yong was overjoyed and couldn't wait to walk towards the city, but after walking a few steps, he stopped again, turned back and said to Li Lin: "Brother, brother, I have a few brothers who are locked up outside the city. They are all They are injured, can you do me a favor and let them come in to rest?"
Li Lin glanced at Tuobayong and said to the two soldiers beside him: "Open the door."
After receiving the order, the two soldiers quickly walked to the city gate and slowly opened the gate.
Several soldiers waiting outside the city had long been impatient and couldn't wait to enter the city.
One person complained: "Do you still regard us as your own brothers? You have locked us out for so long."
When Tuobayong heard this, he quickly stopped him: "Shut the hell up! Do you think this is your home? If you keep talking nonsense, you will be beaten and scolded by my brothers. I don't care about you!"
He turned around with a smile on his face and said to Li Lin: "My brothers are a bit ignorant and wild. Brother, don't be offended. Don't be offended!"
Li Lin did not express dissatisfaction and said to the two groups of soldiers behind him: "This is Master Tuoba from Liuzhou. He has urgent military information and wants to see Master He. You can take him there."
Several soldiers immediately led Tuoba Yong and others, while Li Lin himself took Wen Zhezhu to his mansion.
As soon as he sat down, Li Lin's next words made Wen Zhezhu unable to sit still.
"Is Mr. Zhu here to take my life?"
