Guo Gong has never seen any kind of scene, seeing such a situation, he is still as calm as a mountain, still holding his hands behind his back, and commanding his daughter calmly with a gloomy face: "Cui Yan, bring a healthy woman, retreat to the back house, and protect the old and weak woman." ”

The name of the county lord is Cui Yan, which is very cheesy, of course, what good name can a martial artist come up with? I don't know why, at this tense time, Zhao Xing inexplicably cared about the names of other girls. Quickly shook his head and pulled his thoughts back.

"Yes, but Daddy, get in quickly—"

In the face of his daughter's concern, the British old man was very happy and proudly stroked his beard: "Thousands of troops and horses have broken through the battle, are you still afraid of this little bit of chicken and dog means?" You can rest assured that you can do things. ”

Seeing his daughter go away with the healthy woman of the Guogong Mansion, the British Duke then instructed the little fat man: "Divide twenty strong domestic servants and hand them over to Zhao Xing." Then he said to Zhao Xing: "The target this time must still be you, the arson is just to stir up chaos, they are so troubled that they fish in troubled waters, take me a veteran of a hundred battles, and take care of your family." ”

Zhao Xing gratefully bowed his hand: "Guogong is really wise, I'll go." Then he beckoned the servants of twenty hundred war veterans and rushed to the small courtyard occupied by his own group.

Niang, Guo Guangsheng, Gao Sheng and others have been protected in the house, and their brothers are on full alert, seeing Zhao Xing coming in with the servants of the Twenty Kingdoms, Wang Dazhuang stepped forward with a nervous expression and asked: "What, the matter is bigger than imagined?" ”

Zhao Xing smiled indifferently: "Even if the flood is monstrous, it can't fill the embankment of these twenty old brothers." ”

As soon as they said this, the twenty people puffed up their chests proudly, and in the blink of an eye, they occupied all the key points of this small courtyard, as if they were in a strict military formation.

With the shouts outside to extinguish the fire, the small courtyard seemed extraordinarily quiet, but this silence made people feel even more eerie and nervous.

When they were coaxing outside to put out the fire, and the small courtyard was waiting for it, suddenly at the wall of the small courtyard, like ghosts and ghosts, more than a dozen black-clothed masked figures appeared, and they stretched out their hands and jumped into the courtyard with agility.

Zhao Xing chuckled in his heart at that time: "The enemy's target is so accurate, it shows that there are spies in the Guogong Mansion." But now it was too late to think about it, and involuntarily shouted: "The enemy attacks, the warriors fight, and the brothers defend the house." ”

In fact, there was no need for him to order, when the first enemy jumped into the courtyard, the leader of the Guogong Mansion shouted calmly: "Mandarin duck array." ”

Following his military order, the other brothers shouted together: "The world is invincible." When the formation changed, in the blink of an eye, a small but powerful mandarin duck array was opened.

Qi Jiguang created this new combat formation -- the "Mandarin Duck Formation" -- according to the characteristics of the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian that there are many mountains and swamps, the roads are rugged, and it is not easy for large troops to deploy, and the Japanese are good at setting up ambushes and being good at fighting each other in short combat. It's just right for the current situation.

The leader of the domestic servants is the leader of the formation, the left and right brothers cooperate with the protection, and the brothers behind him are in the main battle, the formation is one, and in the face of more than a dozen enemy masters, he immediately showed his power, and the advance and retreat were like flowing water, blocking the enemy's attack, and then turning the situation around, and began to oppress the enemy and counterattack.

The mandarin duck array was extremely powerful, but the enemy was highly skilled and not afraid of death, and for a while, the entire courtyard was full of murder.

Zhao Xing and his group clenched their weapons, but they became spectators.

However, Zhao Xing also took advantage of this opportunity to appreciate Qi Jiguang's wisdom and the power of the mandarin duck formation he invented. The entire formation is flowing smoothly, although there is no real formation of weapons equipped with blessings, but still kill the enemy, and there is no chance to fight back.

Seeing such a huge power, this made Zhao Xing secretly determined that he must ask Guogong for advice on this formation at the right time, and then arrange for the ten brothers to train, so as to maintain a life-saving skill in the last days of the imminent war and chaos.

There was a shout of killing here, and the majestic general of the country immediately came from outside the courtyard: "Zhang Zhiji, take fifty servants to surround the small courtyard, be sure to take down all the thieves, and the others don't care about the others, continue to put out the fire and be on guard." ”

With the passing of the general's order, the Guogong Mansion has become a battlefield for the army, Zhang Zhiji rushed to the courtyard with fifty cronies and servants, and the others were as if the war group was not there, extinguishing the fire, vigilance and vigilance, without a trace of panic, it was really well-trained and well-organized, and it really deserved to be a family of generals.

With the arrival of the little fat man's reinforcements, in the face of the real military soldiers, how can those Jianghu high-rollers be opponents? The battle in the small courtyard ended cleanly, with three wounded on his side and five corpses left behind by the enemy, and then they rushed up to the houses, climbing high and low.

Zhao Xing and the others urgently checked the annihilated, hoping to have one or two living mouths, but they disappointed him, no wonder these thieves came in and didn't shout, not for fear of alarming others, but in their mouths, each of them had a highly poisonous pill in their mouths, and once they were wounded in battle and couldn't escape, they would immediately swallow the medicine and die.

Jingshi, when did there be such a group of outlaws?

When the day was almost dawn, everything was quiet, Zhao Xing and the little fat man worked together to open the thick middle door of the Guogong Mansion, accompanied the British Duke out of the courtyard, stood on the steps, and looked at the street in front of him.

In the streets, there were no corpses, no knives and guns, not even the bloodstains of last night's fierce battle, and the disappeared beggars and homeless people were still lying on their backs under the eaves wailing and screaming. In the streets and alleys, the soldiers and horses of the five cities who got up early continued to leisurely look for the dead people in the streets and alleys. Except for the shops on both sides that opened a little later than usual, and the curling smoke in the courtyard behind them, indicating the great changes of last night, the market is still peaceful, the world is still harmonious, it seems that nothing has happened, everything is hallucinatory and weird.

Frowning, the British Duke with his hands behind his back said indifferently: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, such an open fire is used to kill people on the street, and it also burned my British Mansion, and then it is so neat that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division can't get rid of it." ”

Zhao Xing smiled and shook his head: "But what does the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division have to do with the emperor's secret visit to a Shaanxi homeless Xiucai to understand the truth of Shanxi?" ”

The little fat man nodded: "It has nothing to do with the Shanshan affair and the soldiers and horses of the five cities." ”

Zhao Xing: "Then why do they spare no effort to chase and kill, Guo Guangsheng, who can be found all over the street to understand the truth, and me, who is not welcomed by the insignificant Jinyi Guard?" ”

The little fat man pondered for a moment: "It doesn't seem to make sense. ”

"And why do they know that the Guogong is in power and is hot, but they still chase after it, and they do not hesitate to burn the Guogong Mansion and offend the Guogong?"

The little fat man scratched his head and was speechless. People with a wide personality don't care about the details, Zhao Xing asked, in fact, it was a bit of a cow playing the piano, and it was also a heartless cow.

The British Duke looked at Zhao Xing playfully, and said lightly: "The emperor will not come out today, you go back to settle down with your family and friends, I will enter the palace immediately, and I will report the big things to the emperor." Hmph, I don't believe it, at the feet of the dignified son of heaven, there is such a big thing, and there is no law and discipline. ”

This is indeed a big deal, the Ming Dynasty has been hundreds of years, and it is the first time that it is not the emperor's decree to attack the Xungui Mansion and burn it.

But from the tone of the British duke, in fact, he has accepted Zhao Xing's hint, that is, the soldiers and horses of the five cities can't get out of it, but they are definitely the kind that are used, and the real black hand is definitely the big man in the DPRK and China, and they think that even if the British duke is angry, they will definitely be helpless against them.

But even so, Zhao Xing couldn't figure out whether it was worth going out of his way to fight so much for the sake of someone who could find someone everywhere who could hear the truth? The northwest refugees are endless, as long as the emperor has a heart, the matter will be revealed sooner or later.

"Your Majesty?" Zhao Xing's head suddenly flashed with inspiration, and the word popped up, "Is there someone with a heart who is also using the emperor?" Thinking of this, Zhao Xing was taken aback.

I thought about it again, but I had no clue, so I could only smile helplessly, then shake my head, and abandon this simply ridiculous idea.
