"Report, Mr. General Manager, what's wrong, there are thieves setting fire to Qingfeng Town, and the entire South Village has been burned down!"
A soldier on horseback rushed over to report.
"What?"
Qin Ming, Huang Xin, and Hua Rong were shocked. At this moment, they confirmed that they had fallen into a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
"Where are the thieves? What do you do for food!"
Qin Ming looked at the soldiers and shouted.
"It's a few snitches. They took the mountain road and ran west. We can't catch up!"
The village soldiers said in fear that they only had 200 people. They had to put out the fire and appease the townspeople. There was nothing they could do to escape by taking the mountain road.
"Simian? Go and intercept them!"
Qin Ming looked to the west and knew that the thief wanted to run east and west of Beijing. The thief must be traveling slowly on the mountain road. They could intercept the thief on horseback.
"My lord, what should we do over there in Qingfeng Town? Let's go back first."
Huang Xin advised.
"The thief has escaped. What can we do now? Catching the thief is the first priority!"
Qin Ming, however, took his troops and horses and headed west.
"Master Governor, there may be something strange about the enemy running away so blatantly. Could it be a trap?"
Hua Rong looked at Huang Xin and said, he always felt that everything that happened today was weird. A few thieves dared to go to Qingfeng Town and burn down Nanzhai. When did such ruthless bandits appear nearby? And since the thief could set the fire quietly, why would he be discovered when he escaped? This seemed to be a deliberate attempt to lure them there.
"Hurry up and follow the steward!"
Huang Xin was even more anxious when he saw Qin Ming walking away, and quickly led his soldiers to chase Qin Ming.
"Follow up!"
Hua Rong also called for the village soldiers to follow him.
Qin Ming walked around the mountain with his soldiers and horses for half an hour. Suddenly he saw several big men riding horses on the roadside in front of him, and immediately stopped the army.
"You thieves dare to set fire to Qingfeng Village. Today is the day you die!"
Qin Ming pointed at the people in front and roared, "A few big men were riding horses on the road with weapons in broad daylight. They were afraid to give way when they saw the officers and soldiers. What else could they be if they weren't thieves?"
"Thunderbolt Qin Ming, he is indeed as his name suggests, with a hot temper!"
Sun Lei looked at Qin Ming who was catching up and smiled.
"It's you! Lin Chong!"
Qin Ming recognized the tall and thin man on the horse at a glance. Lin Chong was on the official wanted order. At this time, Lin Chong had his head raised and his hair was combed meticulously. The gold mark on his face was clearly visible.
"Benefactor!"
"Maintendent!"
Huang Xin and Hua Rong also arrived. When they saw the people in front of them, they understood who they were, and both of them were on guard.
"Lin Chong, you have been a general for generations and you should know the word loyalty. Although you have committed a serious crime now, you can only turn back as long as you sincerely repent. Please dismount immediately and surrender!"
Huang Xin looked at Lin Chong and shouted while holding the Sangmen Sword.
"Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness cannot be balanced. Since the emperor is fatuous and the government and the public are full of treacherous people, then I, Lin Chong, can only abandon loyalty and die for righteousness. From now on, I will only be loyal to my brother and never have the court in my heart. But you, what kind of good thing is that Murong of Qingzhou? ? The dignified Qingzhou Prefecture can’t help but build a few cottages? It’s just to support the bandits and respect themselves. You are just helping the tyrants to do harm, how can you be worthy of the military uniform you are wearing! "
Lin Chong pointed at the three people in front of him and said.
"I'm waiting for you to persuade me, but you don't get off your horse and are bound, and you still use clever words and tricks to deceive the hearts of the army. You deserve to die. I heard that you are the instructor of 800,000 forbidden troops and you are very skilled in martial arts. Today I will let you know the power of my mace!" "
Qin Ming yelled and charged out with his mace.
"Want to take action? It's just what I want!"
Lin Chong rushed forward with his gun drawn.
Qin Ming used a mace to hit Lin Chong with a force as strong as a tiger descending from a mountain. Lin Chong's expression did not change when he saw the mace, and he stabbed straight with a spear in his hand, using four or two moves to neutralize Qin Ming's huge blow. Seeing that his move failed, Qin Ming hit Lin Chong with the mace in his hand.
"Qin Ming looked so impulsive, but he didn't expect that his hands were very strong. He could swing this mace so quickly!"
Sun Lei was greatly surprised when he saw it. Qin Ming's mace didn't look much lighter than Lu Zhishen's Zen staff.
"Hmph, you have some tricks! Take another thirty moves from me!"
Qin Ming couldn't do anything to Lin Chong even with ten moves. He was so excited that he waved his mace and attacked again.
"What a Thunderbolt, this move is as powerful as the master's!"
Lin Chong sighed inwardly. He had never expected that the ruler of a small state could have such martial arts. The Song Dynasty favored culture and suppressed martial arts. Local military attachés were generally unknown people. Those who were capable would go to the Four Capitals or the Forbidden Army.
Qin Ming's moves came again, and Lin Chong also shot him. The battle was inextricably linked for a while.
"Brother, just do a few moves and leave it to the Sa family to try it out!"
Lu Zhishen shouted to Lin Chong who was fighting Qin Ming. He felt itchy after seeing Qin Ming's rough and violent formation-breaking moves. He also liked to use his strength to defeat the enemy like this.
"You dare to bully the thieves. We are here to control the three mountains. How dare you bully the many and hurt the few!"
Huang Xin roared angrily when he saw the fat monk making rude remarks. He was worried that the enemy would suddenly gather in groups and merge while Qin Ming and Lin Chong were fighting.
"Where did you come from? The Sa family is talking, why are you interrupting! The Sa family doesn't fight low-level soldiers."
Lu Zhishen pointed at Huang Xin with his Zen staff and cursed. He only wanted to fight against tough men like Qin Ming and had no interest in other low-level soldiers.
"You bald donkey is looking for death!"
Huang Xin was furious. Huang Xin, the dignified Qingzhou Soldier and Horse Supervisor Town Sanshan, was scolded as a low-level soldier in public. Wasn't this a slap in the face in public? He wielded the Sangmen Sword and killed Lu Zhishen.
"Master, take a rest for a moment, I'll go get that low-level soldier!"
Before Lu Zhishen could take action, Wu Song, whose face was half covered with a black cloth, went up with a simple knife and killed him. Sun Lei insisted on bringing the black cloth with him. Wu Song was still clean at the moment and had no determination to fall into the trap. There was no need to stain his body with loyalty.
"Get out of here, you bastard!"
Huang Xin was furious when he saw that Lu Zhishen did not fight, but asked a masked man to fight.
"You guys should die!"
Wu Song slashed with his sword.
"How dare a rat who hides his head and shows his tail dare to be so arrogant!"
Huang Xin was furious. The thief who didn't dare to show his face dared to underestimate him, the commander of soldiers and horses. He waved the Sangmen Sword and faced him.
As soon as the weapons collided, cold sweat broke out from Huang Xin's back. His Sangmen Sword could be considered an epee, but this crack could not move the masked man opposite him at all.
Huang Xin had already put away his contempt at this time. He didn't know the identity of the visitor but he was very skilled in martial arts. If he didn't deal with it carefully, he would probably suffer a big loss.
Wu Song continued to attack, and Huang Xin was sweating profusely after parrying ten moves. He could see that the masked man in front of him was not familiar with horse fighting, otherwise he would not be able to borrow ten moves.
"Where can a thieves be so brave?"
Huang Xixin was very anxious and looked at Qin Ming aside. Seeing that he was fighting fiercely, it was impossible for him to come to help and he could only grit his teeth and continue fighting.
Although Wu Song had the upper hand, he was very uncomfortable. He was not good at riding and did not like to fight on horseback. If he were on the ground, he could defeat the person in front of him with three or five moves.
"Get down!"
Suddenly Wu Song caught Huang Xin's flaw and swung his sword. Huang Xin was so frightened that he quickly turned over to hide. Wu Song seized this opportunity and kicked Huang Xin off his horse.
Huang Xin was also very skilled. Just as he was about to fall to the ground, he stabilized his body after a few rolls and stood up.
"Lord sergeant, take your life!"
Wu Song laughed and jumped off his horse, only to rush in front of Huang Xin.
