The princess was horrified and turned back, with Ma Xiang chasing after her. On both sides, Rudian and Ruxia sacrificed their lives to attack. Ma Xiang had to give up his plan to capture the princess alive to deal with Rudian and Ruxia. As soon as there was a delay, the princess had already taken the sword in her hand. With a wave of her hand, some of the officers and soldiers rushed over, and some of them prepared their bows and arrows to respond at any time.
Suddenly, Ma Xiang and the others were all trapped in a tight siege. Although the officers and soldiers were not very skilled, they were quite numerous. In addition, they were facing masters against Ma Xiang and the others, and with officers and soldiers supporting them, they naturally let go of the attack. Qingxiang was fighting Princess Wu while dealing with the officers and soldiers around her. Suddenly, several arrows were shot from a distance and flew towards Ma Xiang. Luye noticed that there was a sneak attack. When he saw that Ma Xiang was entangled with the princess, Rudian and Ruxia, it was obvious that he might not be able to avoid them all.
Regardless of his own safety, Luye abandoned his officers and soldiers, flew to Ma Xiang's side, and blocked the flying arrows. But at this moment the princess attacked and hit the green leaf with one palm. Green Leaf was knocked several feet away and fell to the ground.
Ma Xiang was entangled with Ru Dian and Ru Xia when he saw Lu Ye being blown away and falling, obviously injured. Seeing more than ten officers and soldiers surrounding her, she suddenly became furious and flew up, swinging her sword with all her strength in the air and cutting off all those ten people. At the same time, he landed in front of Lu Ye and shouted: "Princess, if you don't stop, retreat, don't blame me for killing you."
The princess did not hesitate, and then shouted: "Put down your weapons, otherwise I will kill you." After saying that, she attacked Ma Xiang first.
Soon, after Ruyun and Ruyu rested, they joined the battle circle again and besieged Bai Xue. Princess Wu continued to attack Qingxiang, and several people were in danger at the same time.
At this moment, Ma Xiang was entangled by the princess, and Lin Feng was also trapped in the middle by Ruwu, Rudian, and more than ten officers and soldiers. Luye endured the pain and was entangled with Ruxia, and was at a disadvantage. Soon the green leaves were knocked to the ground again.
Na Ruyun and Ruxia took a look at the situation, and they attacked Ma Xiang together, trying to capture Ma Xiang first. At this moment, Luye was unable to dodge due to his injury, and was stabbed in the chest by Rudian's sword. Luye also stabbed Rudian in the abdomen with a sword. The two of them were hit by swords at the same time, but Ruyun next to him took the opportunity to strike with his sword, cutting off Luye's left arm with a straight blow, and Luye fell to the ground with a scream. Na Ruxia followed up and was about to strike with a sword.
But Lu Ye's screams were heard by Ma Xiang. When he saw Lu Ye lying in a pool of blood, he was filled with grief and anger. Ma Xiang used his internal strength and slashed at the princess with one sword. Suddenly eight swords appeared from one sword and whizzed down. The princess didn't know how powerful it was, so she had to use her strength to resist. Seeing that the princess was in danger, Ruwu had no time to speak, so she had to stretch out her hand to grab the princess and look around. The princess finally managed to force away the thunder blow, but Ruwu was knocked to the ground by Ma Chu's sword energy. Gao Dan fell to the ground in pain, Qingxiang hurriedly applied acupuncture to stop the bleeding.
Ma Xiang no longer cared about chasing them and flew directly towards Luye. He saw Ruxia raising his sword towards the beautiful scenery. Ma Xiang swung his sword in the air and stabbed Ruxia with an unprecedented move. The sword energy passed through Ruxia's body, and Ruxia was immediately paralyzed and fell to the ground dead. Ma Xiang landed next to Luye and saw that she had been hit by a sword in the chest and her arm was broken. He quickly tapped a few acupuncture points to stop the blood flow. At this time, Rudian was filled with grief and anger when he saw Ruxia being killed. He endured the pain in his abdomen and slashed at Ma Xiang. More than a dozen officers and soldiers also gathered around him. Ma Xiang heard the sword wind, stood up and swept in all directions with a move. A sword energy surged out, and immediately cut Rudian and more than a dozen nearby officers and soldiers into two pieces.
Ma Xiang held Green Leaf in his left hand, waved his sword with his right hand, and walked towards Lin Feng. At this moment, he was filled with rage and could not show any mercy. Wherever the sword energy struck, officers and soldiers within a few feet would be killed or injured. Dozens of officials were killed in a moment. Princess Changping knew how powerful it was and hurriedly stepped out of the way.
Ma Xiang said to Qingxiang and Bai Xue: "Follow me closely." At this time, Bai Xue was shot by an arrow secretly, and Ruyun just stabbed out with his sword. Ma Xiang thought it was Ruyun who stabbed Bai Xue, and became even more furious. Yun Jin slashed straight with his sword.
Chanjuan didn't expect that Ma Chu would kill her, and she couldn't dodge and was cut in half by Ma Chu's sword. Then Ma Chu swept his horizontal sword, and no officer or soldier within five feet was spared. Liangchen hurriedly helped Qiu Shuang up, applied acupuncture to stop the bleeding, then carried her on his back and followed Ma Chu towards Dong Xue.
At this time, Princess Qingxiang asked people to carry Gao Dan down. She saw Ma Chu killing Xia Chanjuan and nearly a hundred officers and soldiers like lightning. She looked like a mad tiger and slaughtered the officers and soldiers wantonly. She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to slash at Ma Chu with a sword. Holding the beautiful scenery in his left hand, he was unable to move, so he could only use his inner strength to swing his sword to meet the stormy waves. There was a clanging sound, and the two swords intersected. The Sun and Moon Sword immediately cut off the princess's sword, and the princess was also shocked and flew backwards. Ma Chu did not chase after him, but turned his hand and swiped at the people surrounding Dongxue with his sword. He immediately swept Pingting and several officers and soldiers into two sections, freeing Dongxue from his trap and letting Dongxue follow him with the beautiful scenery and good time on his back. Walk towards Wenxiang.
When Zhang Shanlong and Zheng Zheng saw Ma Chu approaching, they both came to intercept him. Ma Chu slashed straight with his sword. Zheng Zheng didn't know how powerful he was, so he raised his sword to meet him. The Sun and Moon Sword cut off his sword in one fell swoop, and then followed the trend, immediately killing Zheng Zheng. Killed with one sword. Ma Chu pushed with his left palm at the same time, pushing Zhang Shanlong several feet away and falling to the ground. He was seriously injured. Tao Sanchun heard Zheng Zheng's scream, and in the blink of an eye he saw Zheng Zheng's head being split in half. He was so sad that he threw Wen Xiang away and hit Ma Chu with a stick. Ma Chu swung his sword once and struck out with his left palm at the same time. He cut off Tao Sanchun's iron rod and hit Tao Sanchun on the chest with his left palm, causing Tao Sanchun to fly backwards. Wenxiang also killed the surrounding officers and soldiers and joined Ma Chu.
Ma Chu said: "I will open the way in front, you will block the way behind, Liangchen Dongxue will carry people in the middle." Wenxiang nodded. At this time, the officers and soldiers no longer dared to approach Ma Chu. Surrounded only in the distance, Ma Chu strode forward. Princess Qingxiang knew that she couldn't block it and ordered the arrow to be fired. Suddenly arrows rained down, and Ma Chu and others had no choice but to dance with their swords to protect themselves.
At the critical moment, there was a big chaos behind the officers and soldiers, and they fell to the ground one after another. Ma Chu saw that it was Hongying leading four female disciples to fight out a way out. Hongying took the lead and waved his silver sword, unstoppable. Ma Chu and others rushed over to join together, and Hongying said: "You guys leave quickly." Ma Chu said: "Wenxiang will open the way, and my aunt and I will cut off the rear." At this time, the officers and soldiers also came to their senses, and Princess Qingxiang and Tao Sanchun both attacked, Linglong and Clever He Ruyuruyun attacks from left and right. Hongying said: "Two swords combined!" Ma Chu and Hongying used the Peach Li Fangfei Sword and the Songtao Colorful Sword. Suddenly, there were shadows of swords everywhere. Linglong, Clever and Ruyuyun were struck by the swords and retreated. Princess Qingxiang and Tao Sanchun were also forced to stop and return their swords to protect themselves.
Taking advantage of this gap, Wenxiang had killed most of the surrounding officers and soldiers, revealing the siege. Dongxue was busy carrying the beautiful scenery and Qiu Shuang on her back, and followed Wenxiang forward, with Chuntao and others guarding him on both sides. Ma Chu Hongying forced Qingxiang and others back and followed closely. As he was walking, a hail of arrows came from ahead. Everyone had to use their swords to protect themselves, but they were unable to move forward. Princess Qingxiang and others came from behind. Suddenly he was in crisis again.
Suddenly, the officers and soldiers in front were in chaos again, and a group of masked men shot out from behind the officers and soldiers. At first, the two men were masked in green clothes, and they swung their swords, causing the officers and soldiers to fall to the ground one after another. The martial arts is as strong as the literary fragrance. One of the two shouted: "Miss Zhou, Mr. Ma, please leave quickly." When Ma Chu Wenxiang heard the voice, it turned out to be De Shenglou Mengde's voice.
Wenxiang quickly led Liangchen and the others out of the bloody path that Mengde and the others had fought. Ma Chu and Hongying saw that the officers and soldiers were chasing Wenxiang and the others, and they flew up together and landed in front of the officers and soldiers. The two looked at each other, their minds connected, and they swung their swords at the same time. Suddenly, two huge sword energies swept towards the officers and soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, cutting down all the officers and soldiers within eight feet. The officers and soldiers were frightened and retreated one after another.
Ma Chu and Hongying jumped up and ran after Wenxiang and the others. Under the leadership of Meng De, everyone finally avoided the officers and soldiers by turning left and right, and entered a house. Everyone was busy checking the condition of the injured. Meng De and others took off their veils, but the other person was Meng Qunfang.
Ma Chu didn't have time to thank the Meng De brothers and sisters, so he took Mei Mei off Dong Xue's back and put him on the foot. Mei Mei had already bled too much and was unconscious. Qiu Shuang was also seriously injured and unconscious. The eight people brought by Hongying, Zhongqiucao and Xiacao, were hit by several arrows. Seeing that their lives were in danger, Mengde and the others also suffered several casualties.
Ma Chu quickly asked Liangchen to help Meijing stand up, and he put his palms on Meijing's vest and slowly input his internal energy. After a long time, the beautiful scenery finally woke up, and Liangchen hurriedly gave her a pill.
Meili shook her head and struggled to say to Ma Chu: "Brother...it's okay...I'm...relaxed. I...go first, you...well...take care of... ...Good time. Hug...hug...me." Ma Chu hurriedly held Mei Mei in his arms. Said: "Why are you so stupid? If you don't take care of yourself, why do you keep me locked up?" Meijing forced a smile and said: "Kiss... me again, I... will bring... your kiss..." Meijing said Before he finished speaking, he leaned his head on Ma Chu's shoulder and left. Ma Chu and Liangchen burst into tears.
Hongying and Wenxiang tried their best to save Qiu Shuang, but they were unable to save themselves. Qiu Shuang struggled and said: "Let...Brother Ma...come...down." Wenxiang hurriedly called Ma Chu. Seeing that Qiu Shuang's life was in danger, Ma Chu quickly came to her side. Qiu Shuang said: "Brother... let me... become... a woman, and finally... hug me..." Ma Chu quickly held Qiu Shuang in his arms. Qiu Shuang smiled slightly and closed his eyes with satisfaction. Everyone felt pain. cry. Hongying endured the pain, arranged for everyone to rest, and thanked the Mengde brothers and sisters.
Here, Princess Qingxiang and Tao Sanchun were forced back by Ma Chu and Hongying. They tried to pursue them again, but they had already lost sight of them. The princess quickly ordered the city gates to be closed, and also had people notify the imperial army to be on alert for raids throughout the city. Then return to the front of Li Mansion. At this time, Yanmei and Linglong Clever were treating Gao Dan together, and Gao Dan slowly woke up.
When Qingxiang saw Yanmei, she immediately became angry and slapped Yanmei with her palm. Gao Dan hurriedly shouted: "No." Linglong quickly pulled Yanmei away. The princess slapped the air with her palm, making a big pit on the ground. Yanmei struggled to get Linglong away, knelt in front of the princess and said, "Princess, please punish me." Qingxiang was furious just now, but now she has woken up. Said: "How to punish the crime, let the father decide. Who are those people?"
Yanmei said: "Isn't it too late for the princess to ask now? His name is Ma Chu, that woman's name is Zhou Wenxiang, and the others are their junior sisters." When the princess heard that it was Ma Chu, she looked at Gao Dan doubtfully. Gao asked: "Don't you know each other? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Gao Dan was silent, wondering if you gave me a chance to speak. Yanmei said, "I want to say, if you don't let me, what can Sister Gao say?" Qingxiang snorted and ordered the Yanmei brothers and sisters to be placed under house arrest, leaving a team of officers and soldiers to guard the Li Mansion. He led the others to carry the dead and wounded back to the palace.
Zhao Kuangyin received the report and hurriedly came out to check it himself, only to see a lot of casualties. Of the five hundred officers and soldiers, less than a hundred remained. Two of the princess's four maids were killed and two were injured. Gao Dan lost his arm and four maids, Pingting and Chanjuan, were killed. Tao Sanchun was seriously injured, and Zheng Zheng and Zhang Shanlong were killed. The losses were so heavy, but no one was caught. Zhao Kuangyin asked in shock: "You three masters, with eight maids who are only one in ten thousand, and five hundred officers and soldiers, there are so many casualties, how come you haven't captured any of them?" The princess and Tao Sanchun were so ashamed that they were speechless. right.
Zhao Guangyi said: "This group of gangsters are so bold and reckless. Please order the emperor to arrest them throughout the city." Gao Dan reluctantly said: "No. If you push too hard, there will be greater casualties. What we need to do now is to strengthen the palace and various He is safe." Zhao Guangyi snorted and said, "How dare he break into the palace?" Gao Dan said, "Today we severely injured his junior sister. If it can be cured, everything will be fine. If he dies, Then an irreconcilable grudge has been forged, and I'm afraid the capital will never have peace again. Not to mention the imperial palace, even the Hall of Yama, he will break into it."
Zhao Kuangyin asked: "How do you know?" Gao Dan said: "Your Majesty, when he was in Tanzhou before, he originally didn't want to help the government. But then the Xiangmen, supported by the Southern Tang Dynasty, killed his senior sister. From then on, he had no intention of helping the government. The gang members and the Southern Tang people were vicious and merciless. In Ezhou, he originally had no grudges against the E gang, but after he knew he was from the Southern Tang Dynasty, he immediately participated and killed many people. He swore to fight against the Southern Tang Dynasty. We are irreconcilable. Originally, I wanted to persuade him to join the court as an official at the right time, but now if his junior sister dies, I am afraid he will only become an enemy of the court."
Zhao Guangyi said: "Since you know this person, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Gao Dan said: "I didn't know it was him until I got there. He did offend the royal family at that time, so I didn't say anything." Zhao Kuangyin saw that Gao Dan's arm had been broken. , hurriedly asked her to go back to recuperate. Gao Dan said goodbye and went home to recuperate.
Zhao Kuangyin saw that Tao Sanchun was filled with grief and anger, and his son was also killed, so he said: "Brothers and sisters, why don't you go home first and take care of your nephew's funeral." Tao Sanchun said: "Your Majesty, are you going to let them go? And Li Yanmei has been shielding those thieves." After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin pondered undecided. At this time, Zhao Dezhao came in and said to Zhao Kuangyin: "Father, my son has something to say." Zhao Kuangyin said: "You can say it."
Zhao Dezhao said: "This matter could have been solved properly, but now it is very difficult. The minister suggested that they should be exempted from their responsibilities and brought back to the court to serve the court." Zhao Guangyi said: "Did you hear Gao Dan say that this person only He will become an enemy of the imperial court." Tao Sanchun said, "Your Highness, did my son die in vain?"
