Upon hearing this, Taoist Jiuyi knew that if he could capture the other two assassins, it would be a big achievement, so he immediately stopped staying any longer, started his Qinggong, and chased them out.
Weiming Ami and Helian Tieshu came to a safe place under the protection of the guards.
"Helian Zhengdong, the military information we are discussing is very important and must not be leaked. My subordinates will mobilize the troops to intercept the two assassins."
Just in case, Helian Tieshu didn't think that deploying troops to deal with the two assassins would appear to be a massive effort, so he immediately agreed.
After Weiming Ami left, Helian Tieshu ordered his guards to go to Yipintang and notify Li Yanzong to hunt down the assassin.
Half a month has passed since the assassin was encountered in the palace that day. Murong Fu and Taoist Jiuyi took turns every day to protect the safety of Helian Tieshu. Today happened to be Taoist Jiuyi on duty, while Murong Fu stayed in the First Grade Hall.
at the same time.
The Nine-wing Taoist had already caught up with the two black-clothed assassins by relying on his special Qinggong skills. When he was about to take down the opponent, three more people showed up to support him. Two of them were as good as him in martial arts. Five of them were Together, Taoist Jiuyi almost suffered a big loss.
When the five people saw the defenders of the imperial city coming over, they climbed up the city wall with the help of ropes and escaped from the city.
"General Helian has an order to pursue the assassin at all costs!"
The defending general who arrived shouted loudly and took out the token Helian Tieshu gave him. Seeing this, the soldiers guarding the city quickly opened the city gate.
A pair of Qingqi immediately chased out of the city, and Taoist Jiuyi was not far behind.
The other party was obviously well prepared. As soon as he left the city, he mounted a fast horse and galloped away.
The Xixia soldiers chasing behind him kept firing arrows to intercept him.
The few people on the horse waved their weapons to block the incoming arrows. Although they were carefully guarded, they could not stop the fast horse sitting down. With two neighs, the other two people jumped onto the back of their companion's horse. superior.
Relying on the advantage of going first, a few people might have a chance to get rid of the Xixia soldiers, but with two people on one horse, the speed naturally slowed down a lot.
"Elder Bai, brother, I can't hold you back, let's take the first step!"
A person on the horse looked at the Xixia soldiers chasing behind him, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he held a knife and planned to jump off the horse and fight to the death with the Xixia soldiers.
Hearing this, Bai Shijing hurriedly advised: "Absolutely not. When we get to Yingchou Gorge, Gang Leader Qiao will pick us up."
Wu Changfeng said: "I'm afraid it's too late!"
"We all live and die together, how can we let you be in danger alone?"
Bai Shijing looked back at the Xixia soldiers who were about to catch up. Although the situation was imminent, he had no intention of leaving Wu Changfeng and escaping for his life.
The same goes for the two people on the other horse.
It turns out that these people are all elders of the Beggar Clan who are responsible for spying on Xixia's military situation. Among them, the people with the highest martial arts skills are undoubtedly the deputy gang leader Ma Dayuan and the law enforcement elder Bai Shijing.
If the three people had not provided timely support, those two people would have been stopped by Jiuyi Taoist in the city.
Seeing a very steep and dangerous pass in the distance, several arrows suddenly hit the buttocks of the horses under the seats. The five people hurriedly used the strength to jump up, so as not to fall and fall.
In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred Xixia cavalry caught up and surrounded them.
"The bold assassin dared to assassinate General Helian and was captured without hesitation!"
The leading general shouted loudly first.
"Catch the thief first and capture the king first!"
Bai Shijing and Ma Dayuan looked at each other and immediately rushed forward to catch the general.
The general was proud of his martial arts skills, so he drew his sword without hesitation and started to fight with the two men.
Unexpectedly, after just one meeting, Bai Shijing grabbed the weapon with his hand wrapped in silk and put it on his neck.
"Don't worry about me, General, kill them!"
Although he was held hostage, the general did not cowardly beg for mercy, but instead let his men take action directly.
The soldiers of Xixia were under strict military orders. After giving the order, they all came to kill the five members of the Beggar Gang.
Seeing that it was useless to hold the Xixia officer hostage, Bai Shijing did not hesitate to seal his throat with his sword and then charged forward to kill him.
The Xixia soldiers were brave and good at fighting. Even though Ma Dayuan and others were highly skilled in martial arts, they were still struggling to deal with the Xixia army that was far superior to their own, and some people soon began to get injured.
Bai Shijing threw the long sword in his hand and pierced the bodies of two Xixia soldiers in succession. Just as he was about to rescue an injured elder, suddenly a figure rushed over, followed by a cry, and a heavy iron plate hit his head. Down.
Bai Shijing's expression changed, and while he hurriedly dodged to avoid it, he took out an armor-piercing steel awl from his arms and stepped forward.
The person who came was none other than Taoist Jiuyi. He was best at dealing with Bai Shijing's short-term combat skills with his Thunder Gong Blocking Kung Fu. After several rounds of fighting between the two, Bai Shijing was suppressed and unable to move away.
Ma Dayuan and others fought and retreated, but when they heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, hundreds of Xixia cavalry were chasing them.
Just when the hearts of several members of the Beggar Clan were filled with despair, they suddenly heard a loud shout behind them. The Xixia soldiers who rushed towards the elders of the Beggar Clan were immediately squeezed by a huge external force and involuntarily fell backwards.
I saw a tall man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, and a very tall man flying over. With both palms out, two sharp and immaculate palms immediately shocked a dozen Xixia soldiers who could not stand on their feet. Gotta fall out.
"Gang Leader Qiao!!!"
Seeing the person coming, Ma Dayuan, Bai Shijing and others exclaimed with excitement on their faces.
"Chief of the horse gang, Elder Bai, you retreat into Yingchou Gorge first, while Qiao Mou stays behind!"
The person who came was none other than Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggar Clan, but his eyes were as bright as fire. Just standing there gave off a heroic spirit, and he was dressed in a coarse cloth robe that was windless and powerful.
"Gang Leader Qiao!"
Ma Dayuan and others were unwilling to run away from the battlefield and wanted to fight alongside him.
Qiao Feng immediately said: "Elder Song, Elder Xi has been seriously injured, the time cannot be delayed, you must retreat quickly!"
Seeing the thunderous sound of hooves in the distance, hundreds of Xixia cavalry were already rushing towards this place. Ma Dayuan knew that it would be too late if he didn't leave, so he could only escape with Bai Shijing and two seriously injured elders.
When the Xixia soldiers saw the intruder knocking down dozens of people to the ground with a flat push, they were already looking at each other in shock. Although the other party was blocked by one person, no one dared to step forward to intercept Ma Dayuan and others.
"Qiao Feng, leader of the Beggar Clan? Pindao has long wanted to meet you!"
Taoist Jiuyi showed a hint of excitement when he heard that he was the leader of the Beggar Clan. If he could capture the leader of the Beggar Clan, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement. In the future, he would be promoted to an official position and become a nobleman.
On the contrary, Ma Dayuan and others became irrelevant in his eyes. When the cavalry behind them arrived, they would naturally not be able to escape from his grasp.
