The sun had set, the sky was getting darker, and the mountains, rivers, maple forests, and roads in the distance were gradually submerged in darkness.

Outside the dark cave, several black-clothed men were patrolling back and forth at the entrance of the cave.

"Team Zheng, I heard that there was a fight inside?" A thin man in black approached a big man in black and asked respectfully.

"Support a fart! Lao Tzu was the master of murder and arson, Sun Cai's guy actually opened his mouth and closed his mouth about benevolence, righteousness and morality, really fucking both want to be a bitch and want to set up a memorial arch, they are all rebels, what do you care about that bird? If you don't accept it, kill it, if you don't accept it, then you will kill it again! This is not the master of the door is being dealt with inside, there is the master of the door and his old man come forward, what is a grandson? It's not worth lifting shoes for the door owner! The team was disdainful and said with a smile, "It's cheaper than Tan Po, I can't say that a fire flag envoy can get it!" ”

The man sneered, approached the team and said flatteringly: "Tan Po? That guy usually walks with his eyes looking at the sky, so let him be a fire flag envoy, and he probably can't even control his subordinates. If the team is in the fire flag, with the team's martial arts and courage, where is there anything about Tan Po! ”

"Fuck off! You can't fucking find death, and the door owner will hear it in a while, and Lao Tzu won't be beaten! The team laughed and cursed, kicked the man lightly, and suddenly felt that his mouth was full of dust, and his eyes were full of dust and smoke.

"Phew!" The team was spitting a few mouthfuls of phlegm, and suddenly their faces changed and they looked at the entrance of the cave, only to see the dust and gravel above the entrance of the cave falling down, and there was a violent vibration on the ground, as if the earth dragon had turned over.

At the end of the distant avenue, one, two, ten, dozens of bunches appeared... Hundreds of red and bright torches, roads, maple forests, mountains and even the entire night sky are red if you are in a sea of fireworks.

Hundreds of iron riders with torches, long knives and longbows swarmed in, like a mass of fiery red lava and moving forward, the momentum was so strong that it burned when touched.

"Enemy attack, call the police!!"

The team's face changed greatly, just a scream, and then it stopped abruptly, and fell to the sky and smashed a huge piece of dust, a sharp arrow broke through the air in the dark night, and stuck straight into the throat of the team, and the tail of the arrow trembled to itself.

Alarm? What are you kidding, aren't you afraid that your steps are too big and you will pull the eggs!

A bird cannot fly without wings, and a snake cannot fly without a head. When the rest of the people saw that the team was dead, they were immediately at a loss, and remembered the gong on the mountain gate that only needed to sound the alarm, and they raised their shields and swords and ran to the entrance of the cave, behind the stones, and behind the big trees by the roadside.

It's a pity that people are fast, horses are faster. Before everyone had time to hide in the bunker, several horses had already flown in front of them, and the cold light flashed, and everyone felt a cold throat and chest, and gradually fell into darkness.

"It doesn't seem too late!"

Wang Li turned around and nodded to Dong Junhou, Zhao Wu, Liu Qi, Zhou Kang and others and the cavalry, and everyone flew off their horses and went straight to the dark cave.

……

Zhao Yun was covered in blood, both other people's and his own.

The white clothes were stained with blood, like the red plums flying in the sky in the ice and snow world, and the bright silver spear in his hand was as bewitching and cold as it.

The square inch of land in front of him was already full of thirty or fifty corpses, or severed hands and arms, or severed feet and legs, or a hole in the chest, or a small hole in the throat, blood was like a trickle, gradually converging into a stream, the ground was red, and on the opposite side, except for the master of the sect, Lin Fang and Tan Po, there were only seven or eight people left, all of them were as pale as dirt and terrified.

"Brother Chen, can you still hold on?"

Zhao Yun glanced at the dozen or so corpses in front of Chen Poyu, and with a shake of the bright silver gun in his hand, a corpse rose into the air, and then flew out with a kick, and the corpses smashed into the two people in front of him like stone bullets, and then smashed the two people to the ground, Fang asked in a word.

Chen Poyu glanced at Tan Poyu and Lin in front of him, there were already seven or eight wounds on their bodies, and they wiped them on their faces, but their faces were covered with blood but still looked like stinky farts, grinning gloomily, and like evil ghosts from hell: "Hehe, the persimmons are all picked up and pinched softly, let Chen go to the underworld first!" ”

"Humph! It's up to you! He Lin snorted coldly, and a spear stabbed at Chen Poyu. The door master and Lin Fang attacked Zhao Yun with blades in hand.

"Haha, it's good to come!"

Seeing that the door master and Lin Fang were coming, Zhao Yunhao was angry, let out a long roar, and flew up with a kick in the middle of Lin Fang, but he didn't stop in his hand, and the bright silver spear crossed a straight line in mid-air, and the silver lightning went straight to the door owner.

"Choke!" With a bang, the bright silver spear was in the middle of the door master sword tip, and the door master sword was suddenly bent, the sword momentum was exhausted, gritted his teeth, and was waiting to go up again. saw a man in black rushing in from the door, his face full of horror and roaring.

"The officers and soldiers are coming...!"

The words have not fallen, but have come to an abrupt end.

Several cold lights flashed behind him, the sword was like a rushing stream, fast, surging, a little bit of cold light flashed and disappeared, the man's chest, ribs, and throat were all swords, and suddenly flew up all over the sky.

A person behind him stood tall, and the blood stains of the silver sword in his hand were still there, it was Wang Li.

"Let's go!"

Suddenly, seeing a big change in the situation, the door owner was startled and shouted, and immediately stabbed out a sword, hitting the tip of the gun, a strong force came from the head of the sword, the side of the sword body, a sword slashed towards Chen Poyu, forced Chen Poyu back with a sword, kicked under his feet, kicked away and Lin, grabbed Lin Fang, and was like a big peng spreading his wings, jumping into the cave behind him. He Lin took advantage of the situation to get on the ground a little and followed in.

"Bang dang!" There was a loud bang, and the door owner made a few quick clicks in the cave, and the huge stone gate fell suddenly, smashing up a cloud of dust.

When Zhao Yun and Wang Li opened the gate and chased out of the cave, they saw that the sky was full of stars, the terrain under their feet was steep and the mountains were stretching, and the surging Wei River was rolling eastward under the mountain. The two of them looked around, but where could they see the traces of the master of the sect, He Lin, and Lin Fang, leaving only the maple leaves all over the mountain, which sounded in the cold wind.

"It's a pity that this dog thief escaped!"

Zhao Yun sighed regretfully, and kicked at the stones on the side, which drew an arc in the air like cannonballs and fell into the Wei River.

……

The two returned to the cave hand in hand, and saw that the situation had been controlled, and the dozens of people in the cave had been rescued, Dong Junhou sent some cavalry to distinguish them one by one and send them home, and the rest of the Taiping disciples who had already been bound by the cavalry disarming regiment were Sun Cai, Tan Po and others.

Sun Cai sat on the side with the two lowly officials with a blank face, and Zhou Kang, Zhao Wu, Liu Qi and others all stood aside, looking at him resentfully.

That Tan Po was lying on the ground covered in blood, his eyes were round, a steel knife was inserted in his heart, and his chest rose and fell sharply, showing that the qi in was less than the qi out. Chen Poyu sat on the ground gasping for breath, but the handle of the knife was in Yu Kuai's hand.

"My lord! I'm sorry, I couldn't control my emotions..."Seeing Wang Li and Zhao Yun coming, Yu Kuai knelt on the ground and choked up.

Wang Li waved his hand, helped Yu Kuai, and said: "This thief is a tiger and a tiger, helping to do evil, and mutilating many villagers and elders in my Hongfengdu, it is not a pity to die." Brother Han died in the hands of this thief again, your revenge is human nature, why do you need to apologize? As for the clues, Tan Po is just a deputy envoy, and there are very few of them, so let's wait for Sun Cai to think about it before telling us. ”

"Your Excellency!"

Sun Cai led the remaining two brothers over, his face was blank, he knelt on the ground on his knees, and kowtowed to the ground: "I know that I am guilty of a deep sin, and I dare not ask my lord to forgive, but please let my two brothers go, and I am humble... There is no redemption for a hundred deaths! ”

Wang Li glanced at Zhou Kang, Zhao Wu and Liu Qi, everyone was unbearable, and they were concerned, Wang Li nodded, and sighed: "Get up!" ”

In all fairness, this Sun Cai can be regarded as the number one person, who can not only hide and forbear, but also give advice, and it is even more rare that he has a clear conscience and has a great mind, and dares to stand up for the sake of dozens of people and treat death as home.

It's just a pity that his character, his conscience, and his choices doom him to just a tragic figure.

For more than ten years, he has braved the wind and rain, been loyal to the Taiping Dao, and regardless of his own safety, he ran on the front line and hid in the wolves. Raise your eyes and look around, everyone except yourself is the enemy, trembling all the time, even sleeping to avoid others, lest a dream talk reveal your whereabouts.

It doesn't matter if you're tired, tired, bitter, or wounded, so what's the matter? Even if you want your own blood and a good head, you don't hesitate to do it. Because he firmly believes in the faith he pursues, and firmly believes in Zhang Jiao's idea of "to peace".

However, when he found that the actions of the Taiping Dao were getting farther and farther away from the sect leader's idea of "everyone is equal", or even contrary to it, he just wanted to defend the sect leader's teachings and protect the purpose of the front-line Taiping Dao, but he was ruthlessly abandoned by the Taiping Dao like throwing straw paper, and even took the lives of several life and death brothers for this.

And it was the officials of the Han Dynasty who saved him and other his brothers' lives and actively rescued the suffering Li Shu, who had always despised and hated him.

Who is wrong? Yourself wrong? Is the Sect Master wrong? Or is there a problem with Taiping Road? He didn't know, he was lost, he was at a loss, he was helpless, and even despaired.

Sun Cai's eyes were lonely and lonely, and he sat on the ground dejectedly, silent.

Ay! It's easy to break the mountain thief, it's hard to break the heart, and the collapse of faith can be easily calmed down!

Wang Li picked up Sun Cai and sighed: "I think that your conscience is still clear, and you can still be loyal to the people in time, and Cao will plead with Ming Gong for this matter." When this is over, you and a few of them go to Ben Cao's house to sit down, and Ben Cao will talk to you. ”

patted Sun Cai's shoulder, and saw that the matter of the dark cave weapons and Li Shu's head and tail was handled by Dong Junhou and his cavalry, Wang Li no longer bothered Sun Cai, and walked straight to Zhao Yun, Chen Poyu and Yu Kuai, stretched out a hand and hung it in the air, and said: "After two days and nights of hard work, are you brothers willing to return to Yecheng with Brother Foolish, and rest when you get drunk?" ”

Zhao Yun and Yu Kuai glanced at each other, their eyes were warm, and their two big hands suddenly covered Wang Li's hands.

"What? Scared? Wang Li and the three of them looked directly at Chen Poyu, their eyes full of provocation.

The corners of Chen Poyu's mouth were raised, one hand was covered on it, he smiled at Wang Li, and said word by word: "Cut, I, Chen Poyu, am a man, a dignified husband, and the only embroidered messenger in the Han Dynasty will be afraid of drinking?" I'm just afraid you won't have enough wine to drink! ”

Wang Li patted Chen Poyu, and the four of them looked at each other and smiled, as if this trip was not to solve a strange case and arrest the bandits, but just to take a trip.
