Hearing Xiao Han mention under the big tree, even a man like Liu Hongji couldn't help but shudder, and subconsciously looked back behind him.
In the darkness, the outline of the big tree that collapsed on the roadside could still be vaguely seen, and a flash of lightning flashed across it. With the light of that moment, you could even see the green smoke still rising from it.
In fact, as early as in the Qinling Mountains, Xiao Han once said: Never stay under a tree in thundering and rainy weather, you will be struck by lightning!
But at that time, Liu Hongji never believed this sentence!
If you don't take shelter under a tree on a rainy day, should you hide under an oil-paper umbrella that will turn into tatters when the wind blows and become a drowned rat?
So just now, he relied on his quick legs and feet to run to the front of the tree first, thinking about waiting there for Xiao Han and others behind him, and laughing at him by the way.
But who would have thought: after seeing Xiao Han, before even laughing at him, the big tree above his head was chopped into a torch!
And if he hadn't been pulled by Xiao Han, he would probably be lying on the ground at this time, smoking more with the tree trunk.
"Ahem, of course you can't do it under a tree! Thunder God's eyesight is not good today, and it's easy to hit the wrong person! Why don't we go back to the place where you lived to take shelter from the rain."
His face was a little hot, but fortunately it was pitch dark all around and he couldn't see clearly. Liu Hongji, who was a little embarrassed, touched his bare head and whispered to Xiao Han to leave. He was really afraid that the city guards would come soon. , shooting arrows down indiscriminately, after all, this is what he did when he was defending the city...
"Hey, I have no choice but to do this." Xiao Han knew in his heart what Liu Hongji was worried about. He glanced at the closed city gate and could only sigh.
It is said that I may have some conflicts with Hanzhong City. The last time I came here, the city gate was closed! This time I came, but the result was the familiar rejection.
The group of people began to retreat slowly, and the gate officer on the city wall secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them retreating.
What? Prevent them from leaving?
Give me a break! As long as these people leave, doesn't it matter what you say? When the time comes, one person will not be able to take away the credit for defeating the bandit out of his wits, right?
"Crack!"
Another huge bolt of lightning illuminated the whole world like daylight.
"Hey, brother, look at those two people, do they look familiar?"
Next to the old city gate officer, a man who had been with him for many years accidentally glanced down the city and seemed to see something. He was stunned and pointed at Xiao Han and Ren Qing in surprise and asked the old city gate officer.
"Looks familiar? Looks familiar!" The old city gate officer was old and his eyesight was not good. In addition, the light of lightning disappeared in a flash. When he looked again, the sky and earth had returned to darkness, so he just thought His old friend looked away, cursed in dissatisfaction, and then ran towards the city wall.
The rain is really heavy. If his old arms and legs get wet for a while, something might happen!
"Where's the thief? Where's the thief!"
Just when the old city gate officer had just descended into the city gate, a burst of noise suddenly sounded on the streets in the city, followed by several fast horses breaking through the rain curtain and rushing to the city gate.
"Lord City Guard? Why are you here in person?"
With his eyes wide open, he saw clearly the appearance of the man who was guarded by several fast horses. The old city gate officer was excited and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Nonsense! How can I not do such a big thing myself?"
The man climbed down from the horse with great effort, muttering and stroking his wet hair.
And when the hair was stroked back, the man's face was also revealed, it looked very familiar! However, it was not the original city guard Zhang Bao, but the original county magistrate, Lao Feng!
County Magistrate Lao Feng, no! After Old Feng, the city guard, dismounted, he first looked at the closed city gate, then at the old city gate officer, and asked eagerly: "Are you sure it's a thief?"
"Indeed..."
The old city gate officer was a little confused. He couldn't figure out why the city guard saw the thief today. He was as excited as meeting the peerless beauty. He nodded subconsciously and replied: "I'm sure..."
"Okay! Hahaha..."
Old Feng didn't see anything wrong with the old city gatekeeper at all. He laughed a few times with his big mouth missing a few teeth, then stared and continued to ask: "Where are the thieves?"
"Retreat...retreat!" the old city gate official stammered in reply. Then he thought about it and added: "We are scaring you away!"
The old city gate officer wanted to take credit, but Old Feng couldn't care less. He glared and shouted: "Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you chase after me!"
"ah?"
"Ah what! Hurry up and open the city gate! Chase! If you catch the thief Your Majesty wants, there will be a huge reward!"
Seeing the people who were guarding the city guard getting on their horses again and ready to charge, the old city gate officer was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, slapped himself hard on the thigh, and quickly called for people to open the city gate.
Although, until now, he didn't know how this matter was related to the emperor, but he could hear clearly what the city guard said.
"Squeaky..."
In the heavy rain, the heart-wrenching sound of opening the door came, followed immediately by a few fast horses rushing out of the city gate first. Behind them, a group of more than a hundred government officials, city defense troops, and officials also chased after them with a rumble. Got out.
Xiao Han, Ren Qing and others had not gone far at this time.
But because the rain was too heavy and the sky was really dark, I had no idea that the city gate that was closed just now was actually open now!
"Dong dong dong..."
The heavy hoofs of the horses stepped on the muddy ground, causing a splash of water. Several knights on the horses were also roaring loudly, as if they were scolding the enemy, and they seemed to be emboldening themselves.
"Thief! Don't leave!"
"Huh? Someone is here?"
In the heavy rain, Ren Qing's ears twitched, and then he suddenly stood still, turned around and looked cautiously towards the way he came.
"Master Hou, be careful!"
The loyal servants Xiaodong and Lengzi also heard the sound of horse hooves, and quickly jumped up, pulling Xiao Han behind them, and then stared at the dark road.
Click...
There was another flash of lightning, followed by rumbles of thunder.
This means that the thundering place is quite close to them! If Xiao Han was given a choice, he would never choose to ride a horse and run wildly at this time, not to mention that riding a horse is not enough, they also have to wear armor and carry a horse...
"Thief! Don't leave!"
With another loud shout, the knight running at the front was revealed in the heavy rain!
The tall man on the horse, holding a long spear in his hand, and his eyes wide open with anger, really looks like a god of war!
Well, that’s not an exaggeration, it’s really like the God of War!
His whole body was glowing with dazzling white light.
In the sky, a thunder and lightning that reached all over the sky and struck down like a giant python, enveloping him and his horses in the middle. Xiao Han could even hear the ionization sound in the air.
