The camps on both sides were making preparations intensively. Magistrate Ding originally thought about sending someone to tell Xiang Lian'er the news, but then he thought about it. She is a woman after all, and this matter is of great importance. If she is not careful, others will It is said that Yi Xiaodao cannot be saved, Lingyue Pavilion cannot be driven away, and the decision on the ownership of the mine is also far away.
Soon, the long night passed by in an instant, and the sky became bright.
Magistrate Ding considered that he had to put on a good show, so he did not bring any of the best soldiers in the camp, but only served as the rear team just in case. He still brought some of the country warriors who had been slightly injured yesterday to the front of the battle, putting on a desperate look. Posture.
"Xu Hong! Come out if you have the guts! Don't be a coward!" Magistrate Ding was a little embarrassed at this time. As an official of the imperial court, he had to come to the formation and scream like a bandit leader. It was really embarrassing. It's a loss of face, but I don't care much at this time.
"Master Ding, do you think I didn't entertain you well yesterday? Are you here to ask for advice today? Oh, these few remaining soldiers are defeated again, Master Ding, but there is no one in the camp? Do you want Ding to help me? Haha. Haha..." Xu Hongyou stood leisurely in front of the formation and mocked.
Magistrate Ding looked "angry": "Xu Hong, don't be arrogant. Do you know who you took yesterday? That was an envoy from the imperial court! If Mr. Yi has a hair, and the imperial court is furious, neither you nor I can eat it." Walk around!"
"Envoy from the imperial court?" Xu Hong was a little "surprised", and then smiled and said: "If Lord Ding can't fight, Xu will not embarrass Lord Ding, why bother to withdraw from the court to bluff people~"
Behind Xu Hong, the elder sister of Lingyue Pavilion raised her eyebrows slightly. Was that boy yesterday an envoy from the imperial court? Then he shook his head and gave up the idea. He was just a street gangster at best, how could he be an envoy of the imperial court. It seems that County Magistrate Ding really has no choice. Who could be fooled by such lies to scare children?
"Everyone, come on! Get Mr. Yi back!" Magistrate Ding saw that he had already let go. If he said too much, it would be self-defeating and not beautiful. He immediately gave an order and the soldiers composed of Yicheng and rural warriors raised their spears and shields and marched step by step. approaching forward. It's just that the speed is much slower than yesterday. After all, it's not a real fight. Moreover, these country heroes are all injured, so this speed will not arouse too much suspicion from the opponent.
Before Xu Hong could speak, the situation suddenly changed. Yi Xiaodao ran out from behind the Jiacheng formation. No one in Jiacheng had time to react, and no one stopped him.
The Jiacheng camp was a mixed bag, and there was someone who could take action in time to stop Yi Xiaodao. It's just that this kind of person wanders around the world and has become a human spirit. He sees that something is wrong with the situation. At this time, instead of taking action to stop him, it is better to see how the situation changes.
Yi Xiaodao shouted while running: "Master Ding, save me!" It seemed that he was running for his life, but he was approaching the people of Lingyue Pavilion intentionally or unintentionally.
"Senior Sister, it's the boy from yesterday!" said a junior sister behind Ling Yue Pavilion.
"A bunch of cowards, they can't even look down on one person!" The senior sister stood behind Xu Hong and cursed without lowering her voice. Xu Hong heard it clearly, but at this time he was not angry, but rather a little angry. expect.
"Where to go!" The senior sister rushed towards Yi Xiaodao, reaching out to catch Yi Xiaodao.
Yi Xiaodao ignored the outstretched palm and instead stared at the long sword at her waist. Instead of retreating, he advanced forward and crashed into the senior sister. Seeing that the senior sister was about to grab Yi Xiaodao's throat, Yi Xiaodao hurriedly turned his head, dodged the grasp, stretched out his tied hands, and grabbed the sword at her waist.
"How outrageous!" The senior sister raised her kick and kicked Yi Xiaodao on the chin. This kick was so powerful that it kicked Yi Xiaodao away. However, Yi Xiaodao also pulled out the long sword from his waist. , held tightly in his hand, and flew dozens of meters away along with the long sword.
In full view of everyone, a young gangster pulled out the long sword from Lingyue Pavilion's senior sister's waist. If this spreads...
The more the senior sister thought about it, the angrier she became. She stepped forward and was only a few dozen meters away in the blink of an eye. She was about to take back her long sword.
Yi Xiaodao flipped his long sword over and cut the rope that bound his hands. He raised the sword with both hands and slashed at the senior sister while shouting.
"Hmph," the senior sister said softly, raising her hand to pick up the sword hilt, about to snatch her sword back.
When Yi Xiaodao saw that the timing was right, he flipped the long sword and slashed towards his shoulder. Everything was like lightning and flint. The senior sister was fast, and Yi Xiaodao was not slow either. While others were slashing, a gangster happened to snatch the sword and was about to chop down the senior sister of Lingyue Pavilion. However, the senior sister grabbed the hilt of the sword, flipped the sword's edge, and stabbed the young gangster.
"Poof" the long sword pierced Yi Xiaodao's waist and abdomen.
"Ah! You..." Yi Xiaodao screamed, let go of the hilt of the sword, and fell to the ground. A trace of blood spilled from his mouth. Before he could utter a complete sentence, he tilted his head, closed his eyes and died.
Everything happened so fast. The senior sister held the long sword and was a little confused: This kid...did he commit suicide just now?
Before the elder sister could think clearly, Magistrate Ding shouted at the right time: "Master Yi! You...you killed Master Yi! Xu Hong, you are finished! Wait for the imperial court to send troops to punish the crime! Let's withdraw!" After that, Magistrate Ding waved his hand, and the group of wounded soldiers who had been advancing steadily just now retreated like water.
Xu Hong froze on the spot and said in a daze: "Why are all the people in Yicheng leaving? Could it be... could this really be an envoy from the imperial court..."
The other junior sisters from Lingyue Pavilion ran forward and said, "Sister, Yicheng has withdrawn... Could it be that..."
The senior sister was in a state of confusion at this time. From the confrontation just now, she could clearly feel that this kid was committing suicide, but why did he commit suicide? And judging from Yicheng's posture, he came here just for this boy... This boy also ran out of Jiacheng's formation to escape for his life... If he is really His Majesty's envoy...
When the senior sister thought of this, she didn't dare to think about it any more.
Xu Hong ran over in a hurry, bent down and tried the breath of Yi Xiaodao: "Dead...this...this was not killed by me, Xu! All my friends in the world have seen it!"
"Xu Hong! What do you mean!" The senior sister glared at him: "We at Ling Yue Pavilion worked tirelessly to help you rob the mine, but why did you retreat when something happened? Besides, I don't know who he is. ! If you are afraid of being like this, you will kill me, no matter how you treat me!"
Xu Hong turned his head, pretending not to dare to argue, and said to the other soldiers: "I, Xu, only seek wealth and not life. Now that I am dead, if I am really a member of the imperial court, please bear witness from all my friends in the world! It was not my intention, Xu!" As he said this, with a wave of his hand, two loyal soldiers came over, picked up Yi Xiaodao, and headed towards the camp.
It was not unusual for the rest of the people to see that someone was killed, but looking at the movements in Yicheng, it seemed that the person who died was of a relatively high profile, and he was afraid that he was going to cause trouble. Immediately, some timid people fled here in twos and threes without even saying hello to Xu Hong. Less than half of the people in Jiacheng immediately ran away.
"Senior Sister, what should we do now?" All the women in Lingyue Pavilion began to panic.
Although the senior sister had seen the big scene, she was a little scared at this time and said: "Don't panic, don't get yourself into trouble. Let's go back to the camp first and find out what's going on."
All the junior sisters were clueless. At this time, the senior sister was their backbone. They all followed the senior sister and returned to the Jiacheng camp.
As soon as they entered the camp, they saw Xu Hong circling around Yi Xiaodao's body: "What should we do... What should we do... Is this kid from the imperial court..."
The senior sister stepped forward and said: "Xu...rich man, this person was captured by me yesterday. He talks sweetly and confuses his words. He definitely cannot be from the imperial court. The top priority is to send someone to Yicheng to find out who this person is."
Xu Hong pretended to have found his backbone and nodded repeatedly: "That's what the heroine said! Come on, please disguise yourself and go to Yicheng University immediately..."
"Report! The Yicheng side has set up camp and is heading towards Yicheng." A scout came to report.
"What? They left!" Xu Hong ran to Tan Ma's side in three steps, grabbed his collar and asked, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Tan Ma nodded repeatedly: "I saw it with my own eyes, so I don't dare to tell any lies."
Xu Hong let go of Tan Ma's clothes and fell to the ground: "It's over... I wanted to inquire about the situation, but these guys ran away. This is really an official of the imperial court..."
When everyone in Lingyue Pavilion heard the news, it was like a big stone stuck in their chests: They kept saying that this was a little gangster, but in the end, there were only some defeated soldiers left in Yicheng who came to rescue this boy. Now that this boy is dead, Yicheng was built, and even the mines were abandoned. It was obvious who this kid was. Even the son of County Magistrate Ding would not have such a big battle.
"It has nothing to do with me... It has nothing to do with me... I didn't do it..." Xu Hong, a bearded man who was more than eight feet tall and with a muscular back and waist, was so scared that he was like a child. He crawled on the ground for two steps before getting up and stumbling. He ran towards his tent. The others looked at each other and left, leaving dozens of people in Lingyue Pavilion with mixed feelings.
"Senior sister... what should we do now? We have gotten into trouble. Master will definitely not let us go when we get back..." A little junior sister pulled the corner of senior sister's clothes and was about to cry.
The senior sister had no idea at this time and said feebly: "It has nothing to do with you. I killed him. I will go back to the master to plead guilty. If you want to kill him or punish him, I will bear it alone." As he said that, he shook his head. Huangdi left the camp, walking in despair. The other junior sisters quickly followed, and the girls headed towards Hangzhou and Lingyue Pavilion's base camp.
Xu Hong had been quietly observing behind the tent. When he saw the girls from Lingyue Pavilion leaving, he was overjoyed. He quickly ran out and came to Yi Xiaodao: "Master Yi, what a brilliant idea! Those girls He just left like that! Thanks to Master Yi... Master Yi? Master Yi?"
Seeing that something was wrong, Xu Hong quickly took off Yi Xiaodao's clothes and saw a hole in Yi Xiaodao's waist and abdomen, with blood still gurgling. Xu Hong's head went "bang" and he felt like it was exploding...
"Master Yi... quickly, go to Yicheng and call Magistrate Ding back! Immediately!" Xu Hong roared anxiously.
…
The girls of Lingyue Pavilion were walking back to Hangzhou. No one noticed that a pair of vicious eyes behind them were staring at them closely. To be precise, Gao Cui, the senior sister who was staring closely at Lingyue Pavilion.
