"Xinxin, the enemy is coming up, go quickly...... What are you doing? Zheng Xue saw that her sister's expression was strange, but because the night was dark, Zheng Xue only saw the general appearance of the gold medal in Zheng Xin's hand, and did not see the words and patterns on the gold medal clearly, so she asked her sister, "What's wrong?" What's on that gold medal? Xinxin, answer sister! ”

It wasn't until Zheng Xue asked again and again that Zheng Xin reacted, quickly stuffed the gold medal into his arms, and smiled reluctantly at Zheng Xue: "Sister, it's nothing, there's nothing on this gold medal, I just think this gold medal is a bit heavy, and it must be valuable." Speaking of this, Zheng Xin slapped Wu Yuanming, who was almost frightened, on the waist and scolded: "Stinky thief, it turns out that you have such a valuable thing on you, and you are reluctant to take it out, and even let me take the risk to kill the local tyrant and bully to steal the silver!" Hmph, stingy! Thy gold is mine! ”

Wu Yuanming was first relieved by Zheng Xin's words, and then he was so frightened by the little girl's words that he almost lost his soul, so he hurriedly took the little girl's hand and said, "Xinxin, that thing is very important to me, return it to me quickly." Zheng Xin didn't say a word, just smiled coldly at Wu Yuanming, making her already beautiful little face even more charming, but it was this smile like a begonia that made Wu Yuanming's hair stand on end - you know, as long as Zheng Xin shouted, the Jianghu heroes who came to participate in the turtle killing conference couldn't kill Wu Sangui's old turtle in Yunnan, but it was easy to kill Wu Yuanming, the little turtle who was close to the scene.

Taking advantage of Wu Yuanming's fear, Zheng Xin shook off Wu Yuanming's hand and sneered in a low voice: "Listen to me obediently in the future, otherwise...... Hum. Wu Yuanming was helpless, but fortunately, Zheng Xin didn't expose Wu Yuanming's identity as a little turtle in public, so Wu Yuanming had to nod and whisper: "Yes, yes, understand, my little fairy, I will listen to you in the future." ”

Wu Yuanming's words were not finished, Liu Haozi, who was holding him in his left hand and retreating, had already exchanged hands with seven or eight enemies who surrounded him, and these enemies were not bad in martial arts. Next to Zheng Xue was also entangled by several Jianghu figures who had taken refuge in the imperial court, Zheng Xin saw that her sister was in danger, so she also raised her short sword and rushed over, and fought against the enemy side by side with her sister. Kong Sizhen and the others in the distance were running this way, waving their hands and shouting, "Drag those people, catch the one with the musket, and reward a thousand gold!" ”

"Whoever catches those two women will be rewarded for the first night!" Kong Sizhen then shouted. Under the lure of money and beauty, the scum of the rivers and lakes who had been bought by the Qing court who surrounded Wu Yuanming and others were greatly boosted, and the attack was even more brave and urgent, and the Qing cavalry over there had already fought with the characters in the rivers and lakes who had no time to escape, and the situation was even more critical. But at this moment, after the mysterious people who had been fighting each other at the beginning, the leader suddenly shouted, and the gang all rushed forward with knives to catch the scum besieging Wu Yuanming for Liu Haozi.

"Yo...... Kill! Frame! Kill! "This guy is a mysterious man with good martial arts, and is very good at cooperating with the battle, three people in a group of two people just raise the knife to parry, so that one person only has to attack without worrying about his own safety, when the person in charge of attacking the person injures the enemy, the two people in charge of defense will choose to continue to defend according to the slogan shouted by the person in charge of attacking, or choose to take advantage of the situation, and take the enemy's life with two swords left and right. With a simple and tacit understanding, in the blink of an eye, that guy cut down five or six rivers and lakes besieging Liu Haozi one after another, temporarily saving Wu Yuanming and Liu Haozi from the enemy's encirclement.

Taking advantage of the gap between the enemy's killing and retreating, the leader of the mysterious group rushed to Wu Yuanming's side, and read a sentence without a head, "How can Ji Daguan be a wife?" Wu Yuanming's heart was shocked, and he quickly turned to the leader of the mysterious man and replied happily: "It's Nai Wu Xiongying!" The man was also overjoyed, and hurriedly asked again, "The ashes are all white?" Wu Yuanming replied again, "Qing Khan shines on the red generation!" After that, Wu Yuanming patted Liu Haozi, who was inexplicably listening, on the shoulder, pointed to the Zheng family sisters who were still fighting with the scum of the rivers and lakes and said, "Brother Liu, can you help my brother save those sisters?" Brother please. ”

"Okay, no problem." Liu Haozi is a righteous and inactive person, and Wu Yuanming has this group of mysterious people around him to protect him, so he rushed over to meet the Zheng family sisters, and the leader of the mysterious people also sent two groups of people to help. When Liu Haozi left his side, the mysterious man said to Wu Yuanming: "Li Xiongfei under the command of Xia Guoxiang, the general of the King of Pingxi, Your Excellency is the person of the prince of Pingxi?" "It turns out that the four sentences that Wu Yuanming and Li Xiongfei answered were reversed to the four sentences in the "Round Song" of the talented Wu Meicun, 'How can the wife be a big plan, and the hero is helpless and amorous.'" The white bones of the whole family turned into dust, and the red makeup took care of the sweat. was personally selected by Wu Sangui to make a secret contact with the people of Pingxi Wangfu - it is estimated that in "Round Song", Wu Sangui can only see these few sentences.

"General Li, I am Wu Yingxiong, is my brother-in-law General Xia okay?" Wu Yuanming asked with a smile. Li Xiongfei is Xia Guoxiang's confidant and favorite general, so he knew that Wu Yingxiong pretended to be dead and escaped from Beijing, and was surprised and whispered: "The last general has seen the son!" Wu Yuanming, who had already been prepared, hurriedly stopped him and said in a low voice: "General Li doesn't have to be polite, let's fight our way out of the encirclement first." Remember, don't tell outsiders my identity, and don't reveal your identity, I remember that you seem to be the cousin-in-law of my eldest brother-in-law, Xia Guoxiang, right? Let's call each other cousins. ”

"The last will obey." Being able to get closer to the future King of Pingxi, Li Xiongfei couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly whispered Wu Yuanming's identity to his subordinates, and made them silent, and those Wu Sangui's soldiers who were brought by Li Xiongfei were secretly happy and did not mention it. At this time, Liu Haozi had already picked up the Zheng family sisters back, and a large number of Qing cavalry had been chased to the south road where Chen Jinnan and others had evacuated under the command of the leading generals, but there were still hundreds of horsemen called here by Kong Sizhen's people to participate in the pursuit of Wu Yuanming and others, Wu Yuanming did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly took Zheng Xin's little hand and shouted: "Cousin, you lead people to the queen of the palace, find a way to grab the horse." Brother Liu, you open the way in front, let's retreat to the west! ”

"Leave it to me!" Liu Haozi roared, took the lead in rushing to the front, and slashed with a quick knife, killing a bloody way. Li Xiongfei and others blocked the pursuers, while surrounding Wu Yuanming and the Zheng family sisters to follow closely behind Liu Haozi, Wu Yuanming also shot and killed the enemy from time to time, plus Zheng Xue's secret weapon kung fu was not bad, with concerted efforts, Wu Yuanming and others quickly broke out of the encirclement, escaped from the flat land of Huai Shuping and ran up the low mountain. But the cavalry of the Qing army behind was chasing after them quickly, and the low hills and hills in the north almost did not pose any obstacle to the cavalry, and when Wu Yuanming and his party had just climbed halfway up the mountain, the cavalry of the Qing army had already chased into the range of Wu Yuanming's musket.

"Damn, a few more muskets!" Wu Yuanming scolded secretly, turned around and slammed two shots, knocking down a Qing army and a war horse that rushed forward, but hundreds of Qing cavalry still rushed up without any scruples, and immediately scattered Wu Yuanming's team. Li Xiongfei rushed over with a few people and sacrificed his life to protect Wu Yuanming, and Wu Yuanming was not trampled into meat sauce by the horses' hooves of the Qing army.

In the melee, the soldiers of Wu Sangui's army brought by Li Xiongfei showed the unique value of their skillful training, and the trio relied on each other, each dealing with the enemy in a direction of 120 degrees in front of them, but the back and sides were completely covered by their companions. Although the low mountain under their feet could not stop the horse's hooves of the Qing cavalry from advancing, it effectively prevented the cavalry from charging abruptly, so that although the Qing army occupied a condescending advantage, it was inferior to this group of soldiers in training and experience, and they could not be helpless in a short time.

Soon, on the low mountain, people turned over on their horses and fought with the sound of the sky, blood and broken arms and limbs splashed from time to time, and the horses that had lost their owners ran all over the mountain. But the number of people on Wu Yuanming's side is too small, although the ability to fight alone is much higher than that of the Qing army, but people are also beginning to fall, and it is only a matter of time before the Qing army is completely annihilated. But in the face of such a favorable situation, the pipe band led by the Qing cavalry was still dissatisfied, especially when he saw that the Qing cavalry under his command far exceeded Wu Yuanming's side, the pipe band was even more furious, and he stepped forward and yelled: "A group of fools, can't such a little person be cleaned up?" One team and two teams, seize the top of the mountain and charge downward, scattering this group of anti-thieves! ”

The tactics of the pipe belt would have been completely impeccable to the cavalry, and the cavalry's condescending charge from the top of the hill was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the infantry. But his mistake was that he shouldn't get too close to the battlefield, so that Wu Yuanming, who had been holding a loaded gun and musket, had a place to use, Wu Yuanming saw the opportunity, risked being cut off by the Qing cavalry's waist knife and took two steps forward, raised his hand and shot out, good luck was on Wu Yuanming's side again, and the Qing cavalry pipe belt that had just entered the range of Wu Yuanming's musket was hit by a bullet in the face, and he fell off the horse with a scream.

"Grab the horse!" Taking advantage of the chaos of the Qing army losing command, Wu Yuanming shouted and grabbed an empty arm of a Qing soldier with a weapon, and tried to pull him off the horse, but the Qing soldier was very strong, and instead lifted Wu Yuanming's feet to the ground, fortunately, Zheng Xue threw out her last dart in time and stared at the Qing army's front door, Wu Yuanming pulled the Qing army off the horse again, and grabbed the reins of the war horse. However, Wu Yuanming couldn't even ride the horse in a panic, Zheng Xue rushed over and pushed Wu Yuanming into the saddle, jumped behind Wu Yuanming and sat down, kicked the horse in the stomach, and took the lead in rushing south. Over there, Liu Haozi also grabbed two horses, one for his own use, and one for Zheng Xin, and let Zheng Xin cling to the horse's back, covering Zheng Xin and rushing out. Li Xiongfei and the others over there were only six people left in total at the moment, and they also seized the opportunity to grab two horses, and killed them at the cost of sacrificing two people. However, the cavalry of the Qing army was not vegetarian, and after a little confusion, they quickly reorganized themselves under the command of a guerrilla and pursued Wu Yuanming and others again.

"Drive, drive, drive." Zheng Xue's riding skills are very good, even if he has one more Wu Yuanming, he can fully exert the speed of the horse, but after Wu Yuanming, who was holding the life-saving musket, was temporarily out of danger, his mood calmed down a little, and when he smelled the body fragrance on Zheng Xue's body, his heart rose again, and he deliberately leaned back to try to touch the part of Zheng Xue's body that had been pasted by him with his face. However, his small movements were immediately discovered by Zheng Xue, and Zheng Xue said coldly: "If you dare to be rude to me again, I will throw you off the horse!" ”

Wu Yuanming's heart was shocked, and he quickly stopped his shameless behavior, and asked Zheng Xue curiously: "Miss Zheng, the relationship between the two of us doesn't seem to be very good?" Why did you save me a few more times tonight? Do you want to save me in order to kill me with your own hands? Or something else? ”

"My sister told me personally that she likes you very much. If you die, she'll be very sad. Zheng Xue replied coldly: "I must avenge your revenge, but I will not kill you, because my master does not allow me to do this." Besides, you don't deserve to die, and I will take revenge by other means. ”

"Hey, I really can't see that you're a reasonable person?" Wu Yuanming really admired this Zheng Xue, who was as famous as his name and extremely cold. Because in the memory of Wu Yuanming's future life and this life, all beautiful women always have such arrogance, especially women with some status, and it is even more habitual to be unreasonable - for example, Zheng Xin is not a good thing. But this Zheng Xue is different, although she is arrogant and stubborn, she can think about others at critical moments, and she is simply a rare animal among beauties.

At this time, Liu Haozi and Zheng Xin, Li Xiongfei and others also chased up, and Liu Haozi shouted: "Brother Wu, are you okay?" The Tartars in the back are chasing very closely, how can we get rid of them? Wu Yuanming looked back, and saw that the cavalry of the Qing army was really chasing after him, Wu Yuanming recalled the terrain of Hejian Mansion, and looked at the moon and stars in the sky to discern the direction, and found that his front was full of flat land, and it was difficult to get rid of the pursuers, so he ordered: "Turn south to the Tang River, there is a bridge over there in Shilitun, as long as we cross the river and destroy the bridge, the Tartars will not be able to catch up with us." ”

"Stupid, is the bridge so easy to destroy?" Zheng Xin asked. Liu Haozi grinned and said, "Don't worry, your big brother Wu is clever, and he has long considered the possibility of being chased by the Tartar cavalry." During the day today, he had already taken our people from Luoma Lake to hide more than 100 catties of gunpowder under the bridge in Shilitun, as long as there was a little fire, the wooden bridge would become a cannon battle! Damn, it cost us thirty taels of silver to buy those gunpowders, it's so expensive! ”

"Oh, I see." Zheng Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at the triumphant Wu Yuanming with admiration, but shouted in his small mouth: "Stinky thief, ride a horse with my sister to be honest, dare to touch a single hair of my sister, I will slaughter you." ”

"Don't worry, I vouch with my head that I have never touched a finger of your sister." Wu Yuanming replied shamelessly. Zheng Xue glared at Wu Yuanming with a red face, and turned her head to bother to pay attention to this scoundrel whose skin was thicker than the city wall. However, Li Xiongfei misunderstood the relationship between Wu Yuanming and Zheng Xue, and said to Zheng Xin in order to please Wu Yuanming: "Little sister, if your sister can marry my cousin, it will be a blessing for your family." Of course, if you are a little sister...... Hey. ”

"Phew! My sister has an in-law's family, he dreams! Zheng Xin blushed and spat on Li Xiongfei, but the meaning was that she didn't have a mother-in-law. And Zheng Xue glanced at Li Xiongfei with a cold expression, and asked Wu Yuanming, "Is he your cousin?" Then why didn't he help us just now? And now he is sacrificing his life to protect you? ”

"Hmph, of course it's because of ......." Zheng Xin almost said that it was because Li Xiongfei and the others saw Wu Yuanming's gold medal to prove their identity, but fortunately, the little girl reacted quickly and her mind was still smart, so she changed her words in time: "Of course, it's because this stinky thief has makeup on his face, so his cousin didn't recognize him, and when he recognizes it, of course I have to help him." ”

"yes, I have makeup on my face." Wu Yuanming also agreed. Zheng Xue brushed Wu Yuanming's body without saying a word, and when she pulled Wu Yuanming's beard, she found that it was fake, Zheng Xue nodded in disbelief, and sneered: "Hide your head and show your tail, rat behavior." Wu Yuanming's old face turned red, and he shifted: "Don't talk, hurry up and go to Shilitun to cross the river, it's not fun to be caught up by the Tartars." ”

Regardless of horsepower, the fast horse whipped all the way south, about half an hour later, Wu Yuanming and others finally rushed to the side of the Tang River in Shilitun, as Liu Haozi said, the Tang River with a width of nearly ten zhang is really a wooden bridge that can only pass through two horsemen at the same time, it rains a lot in July, the water of the Tang River swells, and the cavalry is impossible to wade across the river anyway, and it is a place to get rid of the pursuers. Seeing this scene, Zheng Xue, who was full of unhappiness with Wu Yuanming, couldn't help but admire it a little in her heart, and said that this bastard and lewd stick really has a hand, and he can think about it so thoroughly, no wonder the master is full of praise for him.

When Wu Yuanming and the others crossed the bridge one after another, the shouts of the chasing Qing army behind were already clearly audible, "The thieves have crossed the river, chase quickly!" "There is a bridge on the river, seize the bridge!" There were even lustful Qing soldiers shouting, "Those two women must be caught alive, one is dedicated to the general, and the other is for our own use!" Wu Yuanming didn't hesitate any longer, immediately asked Zheng Xue to stop the horse, jumped off the horse and rushed to the place where the fuse was buried, first tore off the bamboo pipe on the fuse and tore off the oil paper, and lit the fuse; He loaded the musket with ammunition and rushed to the head of the bridge to stand on the bridge, which was quite a bit of Zhang Fei's majesty at the Dangyang Changban Bridge.

"Brother Wu, why don't you leave?" Zheng Xin shouted. Wu Yuanming smiled and replied loudly: "Don't worry, wait until your big brother Wu kills the Tartar!" ”

Just as he was answering, the cavalry of the Qing army had already chased over, and the two fastest horsemen also went directly to the wooden bridge, and Wu Yuanming shouted majestically: "Gaoyou (note: 1) Wu Yuanming is here!" Who dares to fight me to the death? Before the words fell, Wu Yuanming raised his hand and fired two shots, and the two Qing cavalry who rushed onto the bridge could not avoid it on the narrow bridge, and both were shot and fell into the river, and the other Qing soldiers were shocked by the gunshots, and they all stopped on the other side of the bridge.

"Brother Wu, you are so majestic...... Zheng Xin clapped her hands and shouted, but before she could finish her words, she was almost crooked by Wu Yuanming's actions - Wu Yuanming turned his head with his hands in his hands and turned his head to run, shouting as he ran, "It's over, my musket is out of gunpowder!" ”

"His musket is out of gunpowder, chase it!" The guerrilla who led the Qing cavalry on the opposite side saw that there was an opportunity, so they shouted and rushed to the wooden bridge first, and the Qing cavalry behind them was only even more, but when they had just finished most of the wooden bridge, huge and beautiful flame flowers suddenly bloomed under the solid wooden bridge, and then a loud noise came to their ears, and then the wooden bridge exploded in the middle, and their men and horses were also thrown into the air together, and fell into the rushing river......

Note 1: Wu Sangui's ancestral home is Gaoyou, Jiangsu, so Wu Yuanming played the brand of Gaoyou people everywhere.
