The sound of arrow feathers piercing the air came to his ears. Yang Tong was about to turn to one side, but he couldn't dodge and was shot in his left arm.
The heavy arrow hit the iron-armed hand, making an unsettling friction sound. Yang Tong felt a numbness in his left arm, and the flintlock gun came out of his hand, staggering and falling into the ditch behind him.
The Kaiyuan archer behind Yang Tong roared loudly, stretched his bow and nocked an arrow, and a heavy arrow shot out from the parapet in the distance, penetrating the night and piercing the archer's throat.

Shen Lian put down his short crossbow, stepped on the injured Nanzhen Fusi Fanzi on the ground, and said to the fallen Jinyi guards around him:
"Go back to Dongchang and tell Xu Xianchun that if you want to kill me, send more people and get out!"
The injured Fanzi helped each other to get up, not daring to look at Shen Lian, and ran away in a hurry.
The stone steps in front of the gate of the guild hall were dyed red with blood. Two hundred people fell on the steps and had been dead for a long time.
Both of them were confidants of factory boss Xu Xianchun, and were ordered to go to the Shandong Guild Hall to kill Kaiyuan Xizuo.
The two picked dozens of good players in the North and South Town Fusi. After arriving at the Shandong Guild Hall, they directly blocked the front and back doors, preparing to break in and capture Pei Dahu and others alive.
Unexpectedly, several Kaiyuan agents were well prepared. They planted mine cannons at the door and threw out explosive fire mines. The fans who rushed in suffered heavy casualties, and more than a dozen of the masters were killed on the spot. Then the opponent rushed out of the guild hall, and seven or eight people held fire guns and shot in all directions. It was a type of firearm that had never been seen before. It was similar to a three-eyed gun. It loaded faster than the three-eyed gun and was more powerful.
The Jin Yiwei arrived in a hurry and did not have time to carry firearms or even wear armor. What they thought was a simple group fight has now turned into a one-sided massacre.
After eight or nine casualties, Fanzi did not dare to step forward. When the two adults from a hundred households were about to move reinforcements, Shen Lian came.
Shen Lian was very popular in the Zhenfu Division, and the followers also knew that he was very good at martial arts, so they were unwilling to fight any longer, so they secretly released the enemy. Under attack from both sides, the Jinyiwei collapsed.
Shen Lian walked into the guild hall and met Pei Dahu and the other three. Of the fifteen soldiers that Pei Dahu brought from Dengzhou, only five were left alive.
"Brother Pei, you brothers should follow me out of the city quickly. Taoting in the east of the city has prepared chariots, horses and weapons. Let's fight all the way back to Liaodong."
Shen Lian wiped the blood off his face and asked Lu Jianxing and Zhao Fang to change their weapons for Pei Dahu and the others.
Pei Dahu looked Shen Lian up and down and felt that he was even more burly. The thirteen brothers following behind him were all heroes. The head servant couldn't help but marvel.
After two years of separation, Shen Lian has changed a lot, almost completely transformed. It seems that he has experienced a lot of troubles in the capital in the past two years.
Pei Dahu quickly introduced Shen Baihu to Wu Xiao, Lin Yu and Lin Yu. Lin Yu had no reaction and just nodded slightly.
When Wu Xiao heard that this man was the number one master in Dongchang, his arrogance immediately subsided, and he cupped his hands to Shen Lian and said:
"Brother Shen, I heard that you are Wei Zhongxian's sworn brother. He also wants to kill you?"
Shen Lian raised his head and glanced at Wu Xiao. He felt that this man's sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes were very heroic. He also cupped his hands and said:
"Brother Wu, you don't know something. The factory boss has been killed by that thief Xu Xianchun. Now the East Factory is leaderless. This is a good opportunity for us to escape. Don't hesitate and leave quickly!"
After Shen Lian said that, he turned around and left the guild hall. His brothers had prepared the carriage early and were waiting at the door.
Lu Jianxing came close to Shen Lian and whispered:
"Brother Shen, we just went to Dongcheng to pick up your mother and that crazy girl. We have asked them to leave the city first."
Shen Lian smiled and patted his shoulder, saying with emotion: "Good brother!"
Everyone got on the carriage, and the five carriages were packed to the brim, just enough to hold twenty people.
Cai Lian was fully clothed in armor and was sitting in the corner next to Shen Lian. The carriage was bumping along the bluestone pavement of Chaotianmen Street.
The Annan woman looked at her lover Shen Lian with a smile. Shen Lian was bold and unrestrained by nature, and he reached out and touched the lotus dimples regardless of the presence of others.
Wu Xiao and Pei Dahu, who were sitting next to each other, smiled politely. Finally, Wu Xiao couldn't help but said:
"Shen Baihu, how many tricks can the capital master do?"
Shen Lian took back his fingers and started counting.
"There are probably two to three thousand people from the Northern and Southern Divisions combined. There are also many hidden stakes on the road."
"so much?!"
Wu Xiao and Pei Dahu screamed at the same time. Wu Xiao shook his head and said: "Don't blame Shen Baihu. I was originally a Shaanxi ranger. I have been wandering around the world for several years. I have never seen anyone with a woman fighting for his life. I heard that Shen Baihu brought two women with him. ? This may not be appropriate."
After hearing this, Shen Lian didn't care at all. He turned around and pinched Cai Lian's cheek, stroking his palm and laughing:
"Including my mother, there are three! This one will be my wife from now on, and the other is Zuo Guangdou's daughter. She was scared crazy by the eunuchs. I have to take good care of this woman."
Wu Xiao was dumbfounded: "Take all your wives and fight back all the way?"
Shen Lian nodded and smiled: "Hahaha, who said you can't take your wife into the world? Women can go to the battlefield. Jin Yuji followed Mr. Liu from Kaiyuan to Shenyang and made great contributions in the bloody battle of Hunhe River. Brother Wu , Don’t underestimate the woman, Cai Lian is more accurate in archery than me! When we return to Liaodong, let her talk about the situation in Annan. Doesn’t General Liu want to expand the territory..."
Pei Dahu felt quite unhappy when he heard Shen Lian calling General Anyuan by his first name and speaking very abruptly.
The capital is a big dyeing vat. Shen Lian stayed here for two years, and I don't know how many changes have taken place.
Thinking that this man had just risked his life to save his own life and that of everyone else, and wanted to go back and serve Marquis Pingliao. The road ahead was dangerous and he needed Shen Lian, a good helper. Thinking of this, the servant leader, although he was displeased, pretended not to hear anything. Shen Lian smiled and said:
"Okay, it seems that Shen Baihu has collected a lot of information in the capital. He will report it to Marquis Pingliao when he returns."
When Pei Dahu said this, he suddenly stopped, looked up at Shen Lian, and lowered his voice:
"To be honest, Marquis Ping Liao decided to re-establish the intelligence bureau and change its name. Brother Shen has been in Jinyiwei for two years and is better than us in the intelligence field, so Mr. Liu wants to wait for you to return and let you take full responsibility for this. thing·····"
Wu Xiao opened his mouth and was speechless. He had never heard Pei Dahu talk about this before. He couldn't believe that Mr. Liu valued Shen Lian so much and handed over such an important agency as the Intelligence Bureau to this person. .
It should be noted that the Intelligence Bureau is the right-hand man of Ping Liaohou. The person in charge of this area will have no worse status than Kang Yingqian, Yuan Chonghuan and other elders in the future.
The more Wu Xiao thought about it, the more unwilling he felt. He felt unwilling for Pei Dahu. In terms of seniority, Pei Dahu was the most senior among everyone. In terms of popularity, Lao Pei was also the one who was popular.
Both of them turned their attention to Shen Lian and waited quietly for his reply.
Shen Lian was silent for a long time, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and shook his head:
"Thanks to Marquis Ping Liao for your appreciation, but I'm tired of killing. I don't want to confiscate homes and exterminate clans anymore, and I don't want to watch children die in front of me."
Pei Dahu and Wu Xiao looked at each other with incredible expressions on their faces.
"When I return to Liaodong to see Mr. Liu for the last time and settle down with my mother, Shen will take the two of them to travel around the world and explore the world."
Several people fell into silence, and there was silence inside the carriage. Outside, the sound of trumpets and drums from the troops and horses from the five cities could be heard.
Pei Dahu sighed and said to Shen Lian:
"Brother Shen, please think about it carefully. Marquis Pingliao will enter the Pass and proclaim himself emperor in the future..."
Wu Xiao on the side recalled his previous experience as a Ranger in Shaanxi, with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Think about it, Shen is not an official. From now on, he will only be a son and daughter of the world. I'll leave the court affairs to you."
Zhao Fangfang, wearing a Feiyu uniform, walked at the front of the convoy. He whipped up his horse and led the convoy to Zuo'anmen, which was heavily guarded by soldiers.
