"Boom ——!" The sound of thunderous horses' hooves and footsteps faintly came from the east road of Huaishuping, becoming clearer and louder, and even the ground of Huaishuping seemed to tremble slightly. Although the heroes of the rivers and lakes on the Huai Shuping have some martial arts, they have never seen such an army formation, and their hearts involuntarily tremble with the ground. Even Chen Jinnan, the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, who had been on the battlefield, couldn't help but change color, and frowned: "There are so many cavalry, it's not easy to deal with." ”

"Chief Chen helmsman, you can't resist!" Wu Yuanming, a military man who had only followed Yao Qisheng to read the military book for a few months, really didn't know how thick the sky was, and he even exclaimed and reminded Chen Jinnan, the general under Zheng Chenggong: "Most of the north is plains and hills, which is most suitable for cavalry assault, and on such a terrain, no matter how high the martial arts are, they can't stop the cavalry team from charging collectively!" We need to move right away, to places with lots of rivers and woods! ”

"Hairy boy, just because you also want to teach my master?" Zheng Xin's sister, the girl in white who hated Wu Yuanming very much, had a calm face, and said coldly to Wu Yuanming: "My master is a veteran of the battlefield, and he has his own way to deal with this situation, you can't die - at least I won't let you die in the hands of the Tartars." The implication seems to be that she wants to kill Wu Yuanming with her own hands.

"Xue'er, don't be rude to Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu had a good point, that in the northern terrain, the cavalry collective charge was almost invincible. Chen Jinnan taught the girl in white a lesson. Wu Yuanming turned his head to glare at Zheng Xin, and said in a low voice: "Okay, it turns out that your sister's name is Zheng Xue!" You ghost girl, you even lied to me that her name is Zheng Bing? Zheng Xin glared back more aggressively than Wu Yuanming, and muttered angrily: "Who told you not to tell me your true identity all the time, I'm retaliating with a tooth for a tooth!" Besides, don't ice and snow mean the same thing? ”

When Wu Yuanming and Zheng Xin were muttering and arguing in a low voice, Chen Jinnan had already begun to dispatch troops, and first instructed the old man surnamed Cai: "Lord Cai Xiang, please lead the people of this hall to escort Mr. Gu, Mr. Huang and Mr. Lu to go first, take the No. 2 road we arranged in advance, and meet at the predetermined place." The old man surnamed Cai agreed, and led dozens of people to surround Gu Yanwu and the others to leave first, Wu Yuanming carefully observed the direction of their departure, and found that they really took the road to the Tang River, presumably there was still a team over there. And looking at their unhurried demeanor, it seems that they have been well prepared.

"Brother Ma, Lord Yin Xiang, please protect the two young ladies from the ...... of the third road." Chen Jinnan paused when he said this, glanced at Mu Shenbao and the others in Mu Wangfu, then looked at Wu Yuanming and Liu Haozi, and asked: "Little Master Mu, Liu Yingying, you Mu Wangfu and Luoma Lakers are weak, Brother Wu, you don't know martial arts, I wonder if you are willing to transfer with our two young ladies first?" ”

"Okay." Wu Yuanming replied casually without thinking about it. For Wu Yuanming, greed for life and fear of death is one of the reasons, and the second is that he can transfer with Mu Meng, which is convenient for Wu Yuanming to contact her feelings. Who knew that Wu Yuanming's words were trampled by Zheng Xin as soon as he came out, and Zheng Xin first shouted: "No! Master, I won't go first, I'm going to kill the Tartars with you! The white-clothed girl Zheng Xue also glanced at Wu Yuanming contemptuously, and said coldly: "Master, the apprentice is willing to kill the enemy side by side with you, and will never do anything to escape from the battle." ”

"Master Chen, although Mu Wangfu is weak, he will never be a deserter on the battlefield! Master Chen, please let us fight with you! As if to humiliate Wu Yuanming, who was afraid of death, Mu Shenbao also declined Chen Jinnan's proposal to let him run first. Liu Haozi even took out his knife with more than 20 Luoma Lake bandits, and shouted: "Chief Helmsman Chen, Liu Haozi has not escaped since the day he followed Uncle Hei Qi to fight Tartars, and he will not escape today!" ”

"Stinky thief, no coward, look at others, look at you, are you embarrassed?" Zheng Xin shaved his little face and said with shame Wu Yuanming. Wu Yuanming's old face turned red and replied in a low voice: "What do you know?" This is a tactical shift! Do you understand the tactical transfer? Zheng Xin sneered a few times, and regardless of whether Wu Yuanming agreed or not, he took Wu Yuanming's hand and raised it and shouted: "Master, Brother Wu also said that he is unwilling to leave and wants to kill the Tartars with us!" ”

"Understood." Chen Jinnan nodded, the matter was urgent, Chen Jinnan didn't go to talk to Mu Shenbao, Liu Haozi and the Zheng family sisters and others in vain, but used internal force to spread the voice throughout the venue, "Friends on the rivers and lakes, because of the traitor's betrayal, the army of the Tartars has been killed, although the martial arts of friends are high, but fighting in the thousands of troops is not a strong point, so, Chen Jinnan asks all friends to immediately scatter and retreat!" Don't be rash and give your life in vain! ”

"Our Heaven and Earth Association will wait for a group of people, and we will retreat by the official road to the south!" Chen Jinnan said loudly: "But Chen Jinnan reminds all fellow Jianghu that because Heaven and Earth will be a thorn in the side of the Tartars, and the Heaven and Earth Society will definitely become the main target of the Tartars, so you can't walk with us at will, and it is the best policy to transfer the whole into zero!" Of course, if there are friends who must walk with the Heaven and Earth Society, Heaven and Earth will raise their hands to welcome! ”

As soon as Chen Jinnan's voice fell, the already chaotic venue immediately became even more chaotic, and everyone knew that Chen Jinnan was sacrificing himself, deliberately exposing his own transfer route to attract the Qing army to chase after him, and creating a chance for others to escape. Everyone present secretly admired Chen Jinnan's good intentions, or shouted thanks and fled in all directions, or quietly fled into the darkness and slipped away, only a few people rushed to Chen Jinnan's side, ready to face the catastrophe with the Heaven and Earth Society-nonsense, if they were all as stupid as Liu Haozi, it would not be so easy for the Manchus to rule a hundred times and a thousand times their Han people. And Kong Sizhen, who had already been surrounded, and the people who were already surrounded were greatly boosted, seizing the advantageous terrain and struggling to prevent the panicked Jianghu heroes from approaching, waiting for the rescue of the Qing army.

"Stinky thief, come with me." Being able to be with Wu Yuanming again, Zheng Xin seemed a lot happier, and took Wu Yuanming's hand to walk with Wu Yuanming. Wu Yuanming wanted to agree, but suddenly remembered something and shook his head firmly, and replied in a low voice: "Xinxin, wait a little longer, I still have time to do it." As he spoke, Wu Yuanming took out the two flintlock muskets that never dared to leave his arms and waist, and opened the trigger to prepare. Zheng Xin was startled, and quickly clenched his little fists and asked, "What are you doing?" Are you going to hit my sister again? ”

"Go and kill those traitors!" Wu Yuanming bowed to Kong Sizhen and the others, who were resisting at the foot of the low mountain outside the venue, and said in a low voice: "Xin Xin, don't come with me, stay with your master and sister." After that, Wu Yuanming didn't care whether Zheng Xin agreed or not, and rushed into the crowd with a short body, following the chaotic flow of people in the direction where Kong Sizhen and the others were. In the distance, the sound of the horses' hooves of the Qing army was getting closer and closer, and the sound was only seven or eight miles away from here at most, and this distance was nothing to the cavalry?

"Stinky thief, you want to hide from me again, stop me." Zheng Xin scolded and stomped after him. And Chen Jinnan, the only one who could control her, was directing the retreat of the Heaven and Earth Society, and he didn't notice her actions, but her sister Zheng Xue, who was very different from Wu Yuanming, noticed her private actions and called a few times without stopping, so she had no choice but to follow. The sisters chased after each other for a while, and finally caught up with Wu Yuanming who was looking around on the periphery of besieging Kong Sizhen and others, Zheng Xin pounced on Wu Yuanming's habitual punches and kicks, and scolded with a crying voice: "Stinky thief, what do you want to do?" I started telling you to retreat with me, but you didn't want to, and now why are you rushing to the most dangerous place again? ”

"Why are you coming with you again?" Wu Yuanming replied angrily, "I want to kill a dangerous person, and I can only feel at ease if I kill him." Saying that, Wu Yuanming's eyes rolled around in the ranks of Kong Sizhen and others, looking for the figure of the troublesome enemy Zhou Peigong who had scared him, but unfortunately Wu Yuanming had not found anyone dressed as a scholar in the enemy's team for a long time, and the enemies, including Kong Sizhen, would have one or two martial arts, obviously it could not be the Zhou Peigong who only relied on his mind and mouth to eat.

At this time, Zheng Xin's sister Zheng Xue also found something, and asked Wu Yuanming coldly: "The surname Wu, why did the woman who started to sneak attack people disappear?" Wu Yuanming turned his head in shock, and sure enough, he didn't see Li Yuliang, who had been caught at the beginning, Wu Yuanming's mind flashed, and he already understood the reason, and hurriedly asked Zheng Xue: "Do you see the two people who started to clasp the woman's hands?" Who are they? ”

"It seems to be two people dressed in Shaanxi." Zheng Xue was obviously much calmer and more shrewd than her sister, and Wu Yuanming also guessed the reason for this, and said in surprise: "Could it be that she was caught by those two people on purpose?" Those two people are actually Tartars' spies in the rivers and lakes? ”

"Possibly." Wu Yuanming clenched his neat white teeth and said hatefully: "From the beginning, I wondered, with Li Yuliang's martial arts, how could he be captured so easily? Now it seems that all this was arranged in advance, whether she made a sneak attack on the witness or not, she would be deliberately caught by the spies who were ambushed by the Tartars in the crowd, as long as she was caught, others would be embarrassed to grab credit with those spies anymore, she would be safe, and she would have the opportunity to escape by taking advantage of the chaos - such a deep scheming, it must be the masterpiece of Wu Ciyou again! ”

"What then? Go to them and kill them? Although Zheng Xue admired Wu Yuanming's analysis, her attitude towards asking Wu Yuanming was still extremely cold. Wu Yuanming no longer hesitated when he heard the sound of the Qing army's horses' hooves getting louder and louder, pointed at Kong Sizhen and the others and gritted his teeth: "Leave them alone, you should have flying knives and arrows or something, first clean up the Tartars here with me!" ”

"But the heroes on the rivers and lakes are fighting with them, and they will hit the wrong person." Zheng Xin protested. Wu Yuanming replied angrily: "I'll let them die!" As he spoke, Wu Yuanming fired two shots from the left and right, and two screams immediately came out of Kong Sizhen's team, and the two unlucky guys fell to the ground. Here, Zheng Xue also unceremoniously beckoned her sleeve arrows and flying knives or something over there, only to hear the screams repeatedly, whether it was Kong Sizhen and his gang or the people besieging them, they were all hit a lot. Wu Yuanming took the opportunity to replace gunpowder and lead bullets, and knocked down two more with two shots.

"You guys! There are also our own people on it, don't mess around with hidden weapons and muskets! Someone next to him protested. It's a pity that Wu Yuanming and Zheng Xue didn't pay attention to them, they just greeted them indiscriminately with hidden weapons and muskets, and they didn't know how many people they knocked over in one breath, but their evil deeds of the dog man and woman not only caused serious protests from Kong Sizhen and his gang, but even those righteous heroes couldn't stand it, and I don't know how many people came around and shouted: "Don't use muskets and hidden weapons, you will hurt your own people!" "Don't use muskets! If you shoot indiscriminately, I'm welcome. ”

"A bunch of idiots whose minds are still stuck in the cold weapon period!" Wu Yuanming cursed secretly in his heart, but when he saw that those people had already raised their weapons, Wu Yuanming still hated and inserted the musket back into his waist, pulled Zheng Xin with his left hand, pulled Zheng Xue with his right hand, and said in a low voice: "Leave them alone, let's go." Zheng Xin was used to being pulled by Wu Yuanming, but Zheng Xue was so ashamed that she shook off Wu Yuanming and said in a low voice: "I will go myself!" Touch me again, and I'll kill you!" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm used to it." Wu Yuanming smiled embarrassedly, hateful and evil, at this moment, a feather arrow suddenly shot from the chaotic crowd, straight to Wu Yuanming's chest, in the darkness and chaos, Wu Yuanming didn't have time to dodge, screamed and was shot in the chest by the arrow, and there was a sharp pain in his chest immediately, Wu Yuanming also covered the wound with his hand and fell to the ground on his back......

"Ahh Brother Wu! Zheng Xin screamed heartbreakingly, pounced on Wu Yuanming to check, and at a glance, Zheng Xin suddenly burst into tears, it turned out that the arrow had shot into Wu Yuanming's heart impartially, and it had been deeply rooted in Wu Yuanming's clothes......

"Brother Wu, don't die! Don't die! Zheng Xin cried frantically and shouted, and her sister Zheng Xue put her finger on Wu Yuanming's nose to try, and found that Wu Yuanming was still breathing, Zheng Xue did not hesitate, and immediately held Wu Yuanming in her arms, and shouted to Zheng Xin: "Xin Xin, don't cry, leave here with my sister, he hasn't lost his breath yet, maybe there is still a chance to rescue." Wu Yuanming, who was lying in Zheng Xue's arms, tilted his head, and his face was tightly pressed against Zheng Xue's towering chest.

"Yes." Zheng Xin cried and nodded, and together with Zheng Xue, he hugged Wu Yuanming and evacuated in the direction of Chen Jinnan, but the number of enemies of Wu Yuanming who did a lot of evil was far greater than the imagination of the Zheng family sisters, Zheng Xue held Wu Yuanming and did not escape ten steps, and another feather arrow was shot in the chaotic crowd, fortunately, this time Zheng Xue was already prepared, and he hugged Wu Yuanming sideways and dodged the feather arrow. But a man dressed as a scholar jumped out again, waving his arms like a madman in excitement, and his mouth came out with a low ho-ho-ho sound.

"Dumb?" Zheng Xue just flashed this thought in her heart, and more than a dozen people rushed over with weapons in the darkness in front of her, Zheng Xue was shocked, and just about to put aside Wu Yuanming and draw his sword to meet the enemy, one of those people pointed a knife at her and shouted: "Be careful behind you!" Zheng Xue subconsciously jumped away after he reminded her, and a steel knife grazed her arm and slashed past her original location, Zheng Xue looked at it, but saw that the person was a young man, quite handsome, and there were many very ordinary characters behind him, all of whom were carrying swords and swords, and were murderous. began to remind Zheng Xue that the man quickly shouted again: "Be careful, there are many people in this venue who have been bribed by the imperial court, and the person who attacked you is Cao Yin, the imperial guard of Emperor Kangxi." ”

"Why don't you help?" Zheng Xue relied on her light skills, dodging Cao Yin's crazy pursuit while asking for help from the mysterious figures. Zheng Xin has been surrounded by five or six people dressed as ordinary Jianghu characters, but fortunately, Zheng Xin's martial arts skills obtained from Chen Jinnan's true biography are not bad, and his life is not in danger for a while. And the mysterious man hugged his chest and replied: "I'm sorry, we don't know if you will be friends or enemies in heaven and earth, let's see before we decide whether to save you." ”

"What?" Rao is Zheng Xue has always had a cold temper, and at this moment, he was so angry by that guy's words that he was about to vomit blood, and at the same time, Zheng Xin was also secretly frightened, saying that this turtle killing conference was far more complicated than imagined, and the various forces were intertwined, and it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe. At this time, Liu Haozi rushed over quickly with a steel knife, and kept shouting: "Brother Wu, Brother Wu, where are you?" It turned out that Liu Haozi followed Chen Jinnan to cover everyone's retreat, and after a long time, Wu Yuanming didn't follow, so Liu Haozi, who was very righteous, ventured back and looked all the way here.

"Brother Liu, come and save us, Brother Wu has been shot." Zheng Xin couldn't help but be overjoyed and sad when he heard Liu Haozi's voice, and cried and asked Liu Haozi for help. But she was only distracted by her speech, and several people besieging her had a chance, one of them used a knife to slash off the short sword in her right hand, and the other kicked her into a somersault, fortunately, Liu Haozi had already seen her in distress, and the tiger roared like a thunderbolt in the sky, and the steel knife was thrown out of his hand, piercing a person who pounced on Zheng Xin to kill Zheng Xin!

"Woooooo The dumb scholar who commanded Cao Yin and others to attack the Zheng family sisters jumped out again, and frantically pointed at Liu Haozi, who had no weapons, and Cao Yin, who was chasing Zheng Xue, was busy raising his knife to meet Liu Haozi, and Liu Haozi's martial arts were all on a knife, and his fists and feet were very common, and he was slashed twice by Cao Yin after only a few rounds of fighting, and the situation was extremely critical. But a new accident happened again, Wu Yuanming, who was hit by an arrow in his chest, had been lying in Zheng Xue's arms, and his face was attached to Zheng Xue's chest, suddenly sat up in Zheng Xue's arms, and fired two shots left and right, the first shot hit Cao Yin's back - it also shattered the rice bowls of countless red scholars who could rely on "Dream of Red Mansions" in the future, so that Cao Yin threw himself in front of Liu Haozi and died on the spot! The other shot hit the mute scholar, the scholar waved his arm to the sky and stumbled back a few steps, and a woman rushed out from behind, resisting him and blending into the crowd, when Wu Yuanming quickly replaced a musket with bullets, the woman had already resisted Wu Ciyou and completely disappeared into the darkness. Wu Yuanming was helpless, so he had to raise his hand and shoot over one of the people who was fighting with Zheng Xin, and here Liu Haozi picked up Cao Yin's knife and rushed over, and took Zheng Xin with a quick knife.

"You, you're playing dead?" It was not until this moment that Zheng Xue found that although Wu Yuanming still had a feather arrow in his chest, there was not a drop of blood in the wound, and then Zheng Xue immediately remembered the scene when Wu Yuanming put his face on her crisp chest just now, and immediately felt ashamed and angry, and threw Wu Yuanming to the ground heavily, and then stepped on Wu Yuanming's lower abdomen fiercely, so painful that Wu Yuanming screamed like killing a pig and a cow - of course, Zheng Xue later said to Wu Yuanming hatefully that it would be good if she stepped on this foot a little more, which is not mentioned for the time being.

"Kill them! Kill the man with the musket! A woman's sharp voice echoed in the chaotic venue, Zheng Xue and the others looked at it and saw that Kong Sizhen and the others had already broken out of the encirclement and rushed to this side again. The torches of the Qing cavalry can already be seen in the east of the venue, presumably because of the arrival of these cavalry, the Jianghu characters besieging Kong Sizhen and others were scared away, and at the same time, the situation of Wu Yuanming and the Zheng sisters was extremely critical. However, for Zheng Xin, who had already hung up some colors, the danger of the situation was far less important than the strange thing that Wu Yuanming was still not dead from an arrow in his heart, and the little girl quickly ran to Wu Yuanming and squatted down, shouting to touch Wu Yuanming's wound, "Stinky thief, why is it okay with the arrow in your heart...... Huh, what is this? ”

"Nothing? Xinxin, don't look at it! Wu Yuanming struggled and didn't dare to let Zheng Xin touch the things on his chest, but unfortunately Wu Yuanming was so ashamed that Zheng Xue, whose face turned into the color of pig liver, stepped on his lower abdomen and stepped on the ground and couldn't move, but he struggled to hold down the wound and not let Zheng Xin touch it. At this time, Liu Haozi came over and pushed away Zheng Xue, who was so angry that he couldn't speak, grabbed Wu Yuanming's hand and dragged him up, "Brother Wu, the Tartar army is here, go with the eldest brother." ”

"Stinky thief, you can bring it to me!" When Wu Yuanming's hand was grabbed by Liu Haozi, Zheng Xin took the opportunity to tear open the clothes on Wu Yuanming's chest, and picked up the thing on Wu Yuanming's chest along with the feather arrow. After just one glance, Zheng Xin immediately held the thing high and cheered: "Oh, I know, you have a gold medal in your arms, and the arrow happened to shoot on the gold medal, so you didn't shoot you stinky thief to death!" At the beginning, the mysterious people who refused to rescue Zheng Xue all changed their faces, and they all stared at the gold medal in disbelief......

"The arrow was so heavy that it was embedded in the gold medal and almost pierced." Zheng Xin put the gold medal in front of his eyes again, looked at it and exclaimed. But when Zheng Xin saw the back of the gold medal in Wu Yuanming's arms, Zheng Xin couldn't help but freeze on the spot, because on the back of the gold medal, there were five seal characters made of gold - Pingxi Wang Shizi!
