"Master Sun, why is this thief in your county government? Why don't you capture this thief quickly!" The old man confronted Kong Bao with a sword and shouted to Sun Tzu Lin, the magistrate of Wucheng County.
"Master Sun, people died in your yamen, and you have nothing to do with it. As long as you help me kill them and catch those little thieves, Taishi Li's place will be indispensable for your glory and wealth!" Kong Bao also said He said quietly.
Sun Tzu Lin saw that both sides were fighting for his support, and he also understood that this was a critical moment. If he made a wrong move, he would lose everything.
"Come here!" Sun Tzu Lin thought for a moment and made up his mind.
Dozens of government servants rushed to the yamen, waiting for Sun Tzu Lin's orders. Kong Bao and the other three were still confronting each other, waiting for his choice.
"These two rebels pretend to be Heavenly Guards. They are armed with weapons and intend to hurt people. Take them down quickly!" Sun Tzu Lin pointed at the two Heavenly Guards and said.
When the two heavenly guards heard this, their hearts sank. It seemed that Wucheng County Magistrate Sun Tzu Lin had already made his choice. A fierce battle would inevitably happen today.
"Mr. Xu, I'll cover you. If you feel like it, go find those three children and take them to the capital to report the situation to the Holy One." The young Tianwei whispered.
Mr. Xu also knew that this was the best choice. Only he knew the whereabouts of the three teenagers. If they were all here, no one would really be able to go to the capital to report the situation. He didn't refuse and nodded immediately.
"What are you waiting for! Come on!" Sun Tzu Lin shouted anxiously to the government officials.
More than a dozen government officials rushed forward, and the young Tianwei also rushed forward, fighting with the government officials. The young Tianwei was like a spiritual snake, moving around in the crowd. When he saw an opportunity, he swung his sword. After a successful blow, he retreated back, like a poisonous snake that spits out hurtful messages. From time to time, a government servant screamed and was chopped to the ground.
Mr. Xu was on the side, spotted an opening, jumped up, jumped over everyone, and ran out.
Kong Bao, who was on the side, had been staring at Mr. Xu closely. When he saw Mr. Xu leaping up, he rushed to the door and struck at Mr. Xu with a knife in the middle.
Elder Xu held his long sword behind him, blocking the slashing blow, and immediately fought with Kong Bao.
Sun Tzu Lin looked at the people mingling together in the yamen, and carefully walked around from the side door to the courtyard close to the wall, and continued to greet the yamen servants to come to reinforce and join the battle.
Mr. Xu and Kong Bao fought more and more fiercely. The swords crossed and the green bricks on the ground were about to break. As for the young Tianwei, as the number of people on the Yamen side increased, the Tianwei gradually became unable to withstand the attack. After a while, there were several more wounds on his body.
What makes Tianwei even more anxious is that Mr. Xu was also dragged away by Kong Bao outside. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the two of them are buried in the county government.
When Kong Bao saw that he could not win the battle with Xu Lao for a long time, he became angry, and the sword became faster and stronger, and the strength also increased. Mr. Xu's weapon was a sword, which suffered from its strength and momentum. Kong Bao was often killed with one strike. The long sword blocked the blade, but it could not block the power of the sword, so he suffered a lot of hidden losses.
"Spirit snake demands life!" The young heavenly guard used a move, slashing the whole body with the long knife in his hand, and protecting the whole body. However, there were strange steps under his feet, and there was no intention of retreating in the gap between the people. . Wherever the blade rises, blood flows.
Seeing this man's change of tactics, all the government officials became crazy and evaded and retreated for fear of hurting themselves.
After forcing the people around him to retreat, the Heavenly Guard ejected out like a spiritual snake, heading straight towards Kong Bao.
It turns out that this is the real killing move of "Spiritual Snake Killing Life". The assassination guard is an assassination guard, and he pays attention to succeeding in one blow and getting away. At this time, he abandoned everything, no matter what, and vowed to kill the target. He was really like a poisonous snake that showed its ferocious nature and would not stop dying.
When Mr. Xu heard that the Heavenly Guard had used the "Spiritual Snake to Claim Life", he had been preparing for it. At this moment, he heard the wind behind his head and stabbed Kong Bao with his sword.
Kong Bao barely dodged, but saw Mr. Xu jumping up. Before he could react, he saw the young Tianwei jumping towards him with a knife.
"Seeking death!" Kong Bao shouted loudly and kicked down the heavenly guard who was flying toward him. Just as he was about to turn around, Mr. Xu had already rushed to the gate of the Yamen.
Kong Bao was angry in his heart: "Ah!" A sword struck him, and a sword energy struck at Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu was hit by Kong Bao's knife, but he didn't stop at all. He ran to the street between ups and downs, and soon disappeared into the crowd of people.
Kong Bao turned around and glared at the Tianwei on the ground. The Tianwei's mouth was bleeding, but when he saw Mr. Xu had to take off his clothes, he smiled: "Kong Bao, your death date is not... uh..." Before he could finish his words, Kong Bao was decapitated with a knife. The huge head rolled to the ground.
"General Kong, what...what should we do?" Seeing that Mr. Xu had fled to the street, Sun Tzu Lin was horrified and hurriedly ran to Kong Bao and asked.
"Master Sun, please step up the search. Otherwise, if he escapes to the capital and files a complaint, you and I will be in trouble." Kong Bao killed the Tianwei, calmed down, and turned to Sun Zi Lin said.
Sun Tzu Lin nodded quickly: "Okay... okay... increase the manpower. You guys... dispose of the bodies of these two thieves. The rest of you, go out and look for them!!"
Mr. Xu ran to the alley of Tutu Temple. He couldn't bear it any longer. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
Yi Xiaodao heard the noise outside and hurriedly came out to check: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Didn't you go find the Wucheng County Magistrate?"
Mr. Xu reluctantly sat up, suppressed the blood boiling in his chest, and said: "The magistrate of Wucheng and Kong Bao colluded. I went to the county government office and was ambushed. I was the only one to escape..."
Although Yi Xiaodao had already expected it, he asked urgently at this moment: "What should we do now? Shall we take you back to the capital?"
"It's too late, I can't walk long distances... I'll go to the West City to lure away the pursuers, and you can quickly leave the East City and rush to the capital... I'll try to help you delay as much as possible..." Mr. Xu said intermittently.
Xiang Lian'er and He Yue'er also followed out at this time. After hearing Mr. Xu's words, Xiang Lian'er quickly said: "Old man, let's go together, that Kong Bao kills without blinking an eye. If you stay here, you will definitely dead."
Mr. Xu was about to open his mouth, but the blood in his chest kept churning. He couldn't speak, so he had to hold his breath and concentrate, suppressing the blood.
Yi Xiaodao nodded aside: "Okay, Mr. Xu, we are going to Dongcheng right now. We will leave the city when we find the right opportunity, and we will definitely report Kong Bao and the others."
"Yi Xiaodao, you..." Xiang Lian'er was about to open her mouth when she was pulled back by He Yue'er. Seeing that He Yue'er shook her head, she had to keep silent.
After a while, Mr. Xu got a little better and stood up with his sword in hand: "This will trouble some friends." As he said that, he staggered towards the end of the alley.
"What's your surname, old man?" Yi Xiaodao shouted from behind.
"Tell Mr. Xu when you get to the capital, and they will believe you." Mr. Xu said without replying.
After Mr. Xu left, the three of them looked at each other.
"Xiao Dao, what should we do next?" He Yuer asked.
Yi Xiaodao replied: "Let's go to Dongcheng immediately. Without further ado, let's leave now. Oops! I forgot to ask Mr. Xu for money to buy a horse." With that, he was about to enter the temple and pick up the two soldiers he left behind yesterday. waist knife.
Xiang Lian'er said dissatisfied: "I said you have been like this several times, magistrate Zhang, the uncle, and now Mr. Xu, why don't you save any of them?"
Yi Xiaodao turned around and glanced: "I have said many times, they are here for us, and only if we escape can their death be worthwhile. If we go back and take Mr. Xu with us now, we will only end up with ourselves. By then No one reported him, and Kong Bao returned to Beijing as a general who continued to dominate, who would avenge Wancheng's blood feud?"
Xiang Lian'er was speechless by Yi Xiaodao. In fact, she also knew that Yi Xiaodao was right. She just felt that Yi Xiaodao was too cold-blooded. If one day she felt that she and He Yue'er were a burden, or when necessary …
He Yue'er hugged Xiang Lian'er and said: "Xiao Dao's decision is right. If it comes to a last resort, even if Xiao Dao wants to give up on us, I will do it. As long as everyone's goal can be achieved in the end, sacrifice is inevitable. ."
When Xiang Lian'er heard this, she looked at He Yue'er, and saw He Yue'er's clear eyes, looking straight at Xiang Lian'er, which made Xiang Lian'er feel: He Yue'er didn't lie, she really did it. come out.
"Can you do this for him?" Xiang Lian'er whispered.
He Yue'er laughed: "It's not just me, one day, sister Lian'er, you will do the same."
"Report, sir, that thief appeared in Xicheng." A government official came to the county government office to report.
"General Kong, why did this appear in Xicheng? Could it be that he was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain?" Sun Tzu Lin asked Kong Bao.
Kong Bao snorted and smiled: "I guess he just hopes that we can think like this so that we can escape from Xicheng. Beyond Xicheng is the Yangtze River. If we enter the river and take a boat, it will be difficult to catch us. And if you go down the river, you don't need to We can reach the capital in a few days. Let’s go! Hurry and chase now!”
Sun Tzu Lin nodded repeatedly, ordered a few people to stay in the yamen, and led the rest of the people and Kong Bao to the west city in a hurry.
"Xiao Dao, look, a lot of the defenders are heading towards the West City. Shall we leave now?" Yi Xiaodao and the other three were hiding in an alley in the East City. When they saw the defenders in the East City leaving, Xiang Lian'er anxiously asked asked.
"Let's go now!" Yi Xiaodao said, leading the two of them towards the city gate.
The three of them walked to the city gate and were stopped by the defenders: "Stop! What are you doing?"
"Brother, my wife, my sister, and I came to the city to sell vegetables. The vegetables were collected by Zhang Yuanwai in the city, and he asked us to send another batch. No, let's go back and drag another batch over." Yi Xiaodao said. Change the color and the lies will come out.
"Vegetable seller? How much did it cost? Where's the money?" The defender was a little happy when he heard this.
Yi Xiaodao said: "This dish has just been delivered to Zhang Yuanwai's house. He asked us to send another batch and calculate the money together. Please be accommodating, Master Jun. When we get the money, I will give you this number." After that, Yi Xiaodao gestured quietly and looked around, as if he was afraid of being discovered.
"Okay, okay, since this is the dish Zhang Yuanwai wants, hurry up and let it go!" The defenders saw Yi Xiaodao's gestures, beamed with joy, and hurriedly called to the defenders behind to let them go.
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master." Yi Xiaodao and the other three hurriedly left the city.
The three of them had just left the city when they saw a man on the city looking out: "You three, stop! Don't leave!"
