Xiao Rang's suggestion made Wu Yong and Jin Dajian relax. This was indeed the best of both worlds.
But Dong Ping, Mu Hong and others on the opposite side did not react at all, and seemed not to hear Xiao Rang's words.
"you!"
When Wu Yong saw that the people opposite him didn't respond, he was suddenly shocked. Those people opposite him were determined to kill Chao Gai.
"Guys, it's time to make a choice!"
Dong Ping waved his guns and looked at Wu Yong, Xiao Rang, and Jin Dajian and said, he is not a hero, and he has no friendship with Chao Gai or others.
"You guys go over there!"
Chao Gai looked at Wu Yong, Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian and said, he has no way out today and there is no need to drag his brothers to death.
"Keep it straight!"
Wu Yong hurriedly said that if he left, he would just watch Chao Gai die. He thought about how he could abandon Chao Gai and ignore him at this time when he failed the provincial examination and lived in a private school in the village as a scholar. Thanks to Chao Gai's funding, .
"King of Heaven, since I have followed you, there is no reason to leave."
Xiao Rang sighed and made his own choice. He was invited into the arena by Chao Gai, and the eldest brother he recognized was also Chao Gai. Although Chao Gai lost power now, he could not betray him.
"Do you really want to kill them all!"
Jin Dajian looked at Dong Ping and others and said.
"I said, I was ordered to take Chao Gai back, and the rest has nothing to do with me!"
Dong Ping sneered and said, except for him, an outsider, the others who came this time were Song Jiang's cronies. Even Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo, who had taken refuge in Erlong Mountain earlier, were not sent.
Dong Ping was a smart man. When he heard Song Jiang's arrangement, he understood everything instantly. This time Chao Gai had no other choice but to die, and he was happy to give Song Jiang a certificate of surrender.
"Then let me see what you are capable of!"
Chao Gai held the Pu Dao in his hand and said coldly.
"Do it and ask Chao Gai to go back!"
When Dong Ping saw that Chao Gai's men were stubborn, he shouted loudly, waved his guns and killed them.
Mu Hong, Mu Chun, Li Li, Jiang Zhong, Shi En, Kong Ming, Kong Liang, Yan Shun, Wang Ying, Zheng Tianshou, and Deng Long also went up to kill them.
Only Hou Jian, Xue Yong, Li Zhong, Han Bolong, Shi Yong, and Bai Sheng remained silent. They had no choice but to abandon Chao Gai, but they were unwilling to really take action against Chao Gai, so they could only choose neutrality for the time being.
Dong Ping, Mu Hong and other twelve men besieged Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian.
Wu Yong took out two copper chains that he had not used for a long time, Xiao Rang held a sword, and Jin Dajian held two copper hammers to respond to the enemy.
"No, Baozheng, leave quickly!"
As soon as they fought against Wu Yong, he felt even more pressure. The people on the opposite side were all using their killing moves, not asking Chao Gai to come back. There were only four people on their side and they couldn't withstand the siege of twelve people.
"kill!"
Chao Gai roared suddenly, and swung the Pu Dao in his hand, and a huge force was swung from the knife, directly knocking back Mu Hong and the four or five people in front of him.
"Walk!"
Chao Gai shouted to several people around him.
But there were too many enemies, and Dong Ping, with Yan Shun, Wang Ying, and Zheng Tianshou, rushed forward again.
"Don't worry, let's go!"
Wu Yong suddenly waved his sleeves and robe, and white lime powder was scattered directly, covering Dong Ping and others in an instant.
Dong Ping reacted quickly. He stopped, waved his guns, stirred up the airflow, and blocked the lime in front of him.
Yan Shun, Wang Ying, and Zheng Tianshou were not so lucky. They had lime sprinkled on their faces. Fortunately, the three of them quickly closed their eyes to avoid being burned.
"Chase!"
When Dong Ping saw Chao Gai and his men running into the woods, he immediately called on everyone to give chase. Chao Gai and his men had already suffered some injuries and could not run far.
Chao Gai and the others ran for an unknown amount of time, and then they stopped when they were exhausted.
"Baozheng, you go quickly, we stay to block you!"
Wu Yong looked at Chao Gai and said.
"no!"
Chao Gai immediately denied it. Chao Gai was an upright man, how could he abandon his brother?
"Baozheng, haven't you seen it yet? Dong Ping and others want to kill you, but they have no intention of killing us. The worst we can do is surrender."
Wu Yong looked at Chao Gai and said eagerly.
"No, Dong Ping and Mu Hong are vicious people, you are not safe."
Chao Gai looked at Wu Yong and said, now that he has completely turned his back, no one can guarantee what will happen.
"Chao Gai, do you still want to escape?"
Dong Ping and others quickly caught up.
"Fight them!"
Xiao Rang roared. He had been stabbed in the back in the previous killing. Now his clothes were dripping with blood and his eyes were red.
Jin Dajian also stood up with two copper hammers. He was beaten with two sticks and his movements were a little slow.
"There's no movement over there, go that way!"
Wu Yong saw no one in the direction of the woods, and immediately called Chao Gai and others where to go.
After leaving the woods, Chao Gai and the others ran eastward. To the east was the Bianhe River.
"Chao Gai, why don't you punish me!"
Suddenly, the officers and soldiers arrived. The leader was the supervisor, and Dai Zong was standing next to the supervisor.
"No, this is an ambush!"
Wu Yong was shocked. Only then did he understand why Dong Ping and the others did not catch up with them. They wanted to kill them with the help of the army.
Although Chao Gai has broken up with Song Jiang, the most taboo thing in the world is fratricide. Even if there is a gap between brothers, as long as it is not too serious, they cannot kill each other.
Song Jiang has always cared about reputation, how could he let his subordinates kill Chao Gai? But if the officers and soldiers took action, it would be completely different. Chao Gai was killed, and Song Jiang went to collect the body and cry again. Maybe he would gain a reputation as a kind and righteous person.
"Chao Gai, you betrayed the imperial court and should be executed according to law!"
The supervisors did not give Chao Gai a chance to react and directly ordered the army to charge and kill.
Hundreds of troops rushed towards them, and Chao Gai and his men were livid. Just now Dong Ping and his men were able to fight for a while, but facing hundreds of troops forming formations, they had no chance of winning, so they had no choice but to turn around and run away.
"General Dong, they ran towards the river!"
When Dai Zong saw Dong Ping and others chasing him, he quickly pointed in the direction Chao Gai escaped and said.
"We can't let Chao Gai escape, we must kill him!"
Dong Ping winked at the people around him, and they all nodded and chased after him.
On the Bian River, Sun Lei's ship was speeding towards them, and they could see the light of a large number of torches in the distance.
"It's the army. They must be chasing brother Chao Gai!"
Liu Tang was lying on the deck with a weak face. Sun Lei asked him to go back to the cabin to rest many times, but Liu Tang insisted on staying on the deck because he wanted to save Chao Gai.
"Don't worry, it'll be over soon!"
Sun Lei nodded and said.
"Brother, there are a lot of people over there!"
Lin Chong looked at the raging fire in the distance, frowned and said, they have too few manpower here, so if they really attack, they won't have much advantage.
"We're not trying to kill them all! We're just saving people!"
Sun Lei shook his head. He had no troops around him this time. He had to leave after rescuing the people. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers seemed to have no ships, so there would be nothing they could do for a while.
"Lights out!"
Sun Lei shouted in a low voice along with Shi Xiu, Wang Dingliu and others who were rowing the boat. It was still night, and it was too conspicuous to go there with the lights on. Ordinary merchant ships, passenger ships, and cargo ships would stay away when they saw the officers and soldiers fighting. Too far away to get close.
