Chapter Ninety-Three: Scarlet Twilight

In the main hall of the family of Li Valve, one of the four major gates, Li Jiancheng was furious. The morning before yesterday, he received a report from his subordinates, saying that he had found a group of unknown bandits coming to the territory of Bingzhou, these people were extremely powerful, and a local cottage was easily destroyed by this group.

At that time, Li Jiancheng didn't care, but just ordered the local government to arrest him. After all, in this chaotic world, bandits and robbers are everywhere, and homeless bandits are not uncommon, and it is just a matter of dealing with it and making official articles to avoid being blamed by the court.

Unexpectedly, just yesterday morning, news came that those officers and soldiers who intercepted had been killed and defeated. At first, Li Jiancheng was only a little interested in this unidentified force. After all, there are many rebel forces now, and there are a few powerful ones among them, and they are not something that the local government can deal with.

Therefore, he asked his subordinates to report the story of this battle in detail, and wanted to judge from the clues which way the cross-river raptor came to Bingzhou, and he decided whether to ignore it or go to make friends.

However, when he drank tea in one hand and held the report in the other, looking at the handwriting on it, he was surprised to spit out the tea in his mouth before he could swallow it. After reading the tea-soaked report back and forth several times, Li Jiancheng's face was cloudy.

He didn't feel sorry for the officers and soldiers who were killed, anyway, he wasn't from his Li family, it didn't matter how many people died, but the Lei Zhenzi mentioned in the report made him a little frightened. As one of the disciples of Li Valve, one of the four major gates, especially one of the heirs who may control this big family in the future, Li Jiancheng naturally knows a lot about this Lei Zhenzi.

This Lei Zhenzi is extremely difficult to refine, and the slightest carelessness will blow up the alchemist who refining it to pieces, so this thing has always been rare and very rare. However, the report mentions that the unknown force actually used more than two dozen thunder shocks in the battle.

It's worth it! Among the forces of the entire Daomen, the force with the most Lei Zhenzi is probably the group of old madmen in the 'Sunset West Mountain'. I am afraid that this unknown force who suddenly came to Bingzhou is only implicated in the 'Sunset West Mountain', after all, judging from the information collected by the family in the past, the only one who can come up with so many Lei Zhenzi at one time is that group of old immortals.

Li Jiancheng didn't think much about it, so he hurriedly sent secret agents to investigate the details of this unknown force, so that they could find out what the leader of this force was, and he could visit him himself.

Although it is said that the people of the 'Sunset West Mountain' are all a group of madmen, they are also a group of alchemist madmen, and if they can be related to them, it will be an extremely beneficial thing for Li Valve and himself. After all, some top-notch elixirs, such as the 'Six Realms of Reincarnation', could only be refined by those crazy old guys.

However, that night, when Li Jiancheng was asleep, he was woken up by the maid next to him, and the spies who went out to inquire about the news brought back important information. When he hurriedly put on his clothes and came to the side room to see the information, he couldn't help but be angry.

The intelligence clearly states that the leader of the unknown forces is Cheng Yanjin, who teased him repeatedly and escaped from him. This look can make Li Jiancheng half angry.

At the beginning, he led a large team of men and horses to chase and intercept Cheng Biting Jinwei, and later blocked him on the edge of Fenshui, until Cheng Biting Jin was seriously injured and diving, he thought Cheng Biting Jin was dead. Who would have thought that not long after, the spies from Qingzhou sent back the news, saying that Cheng Yanjin had returned to the Salt Gang safely.

At that time, for this matter, not only were Li Valve's people ridiculed by the other three major gates, but Li Jiancheng was also reprimanded by his father, accusing his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, if he saw that Cheng biting Jin and slashing with a sword, why waste time torturing him, but this person found an opportunity and waited for an opportunity to escape.

For a long time after that, Li Jiancheng couldn't hold his head up in front of others. Therefore, he can be said to hate this journey higher than the sky. But now I suddenly heard the report of my subordinates that this Cheng Biting Jin actually led people to walk around their own sphere of influence for a while, if it weren't for the misfortune of the times, I am afraid that I would not know about this matter!

Li Jiancheng was angry at that time, in order not to make the same mistake as before, Li Jiancheng wrote a secret letter overnight, asking the secret agents to take them to several military camps controlled by the Li family, asking them to do their best to hunt down this force and keep this force in Bingzhou forever.

Early the next morning, Li Jiancheng got up early and called several leaders of Li Valve, who were in charge of finding out intelligence, and scolded him! Fortunately, it was his whim that sent a capable spy to investigate, otherwise he came to Bingzhou and left unharmed, and his Li family was still kept in the dark, not to mention being laughed at by the heroes of the world, even his father, I am afraid that he will be deprived of his identity as the heir of the Li valve immediately, and then he will be sent to the frontier outside the fortress, and he will not be allowed to return to his hometown from now on.

Now that Li Jiancheng has understood, it is Cheng Cheng's turn to bite the gold and be unlucky. In a short period of three days, the heroes of the Heroes Association were intercepted by several groups of officers and men, and although these officers and men were small in number, poorly equipped, and most of them were mainly harassed when intercepting, they also greatly delayed the pace of their advance.

What especially worried Cheng Yanjin was that the secret agent of the Vermilion Bird Hall had risked his death to send a large number of people to this direction. Looking at their posture, they are definitely not here to drink and talk to themselves and call them brothers.

Based on these circumstances, Cheng Yanjin suddenly understood that his identity was exposed, and these officers and soldiers who came to harass him must have been sent by Li Jiancheng to drag him down, so that those well-trained sergeants could come in time and trap him here.

In desperation, Cheng Yanjin had no choice but to order his subordinates to release all the blacksmiths that had been captured, and those copper and iron raw materials were also abandoned in the wilderness, and only the Five Elements Fire Ding was on the way day and night. Although in this way, others will definitely see the cattiness, but in the situation where his life is threatened, Cheng Yanjin can't take care of it so much.

is like giving up everything that can be given up, and moving forward lightly day and night, Cheng Yanjin and the others were still caught up by Li Valve's men and horses in a place named Zhang Bi.

Looking at the Bird Mouse Valley that was close at hand, Cheng Yanjin's eyes were blood-red, and he looked back at the officers and soldiers a few miles away, and his heart was extremely anxious. Li Jiancheng sent so many people over, obviously afraid that he still had Lei Zhenzi, so he planned to use crowd tactics to kill himself.

It's a pity that all the thunder shocks on his body have long been used up now, and because of the rush for several days, everyone has long been exhausted, and it is the infantry of the Quartet who are ambushed in the Bird Mouse Valley, where can they come to rescue themselves in time.

The only thing that is beneficial to me now is that it is almost dark, and as long as it gets dark, even if you are surrounded by this group of officers and soldiers, you can wait for an opportunity to escape. The only thing to consider now is how to safely transport the Five Elements Fire Tripod to the Bird Mouse Valley before it gets dark.

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Yanjin issued an order, asking the infantry who transported Huoding to pull Huoding all the way to the Bird Mouse Valley, while he took the five hundred cavalry to intercept these pursuing officers and soldiers in the back, and then retreated when the Fire Ding entered the Bird Mouse Valley.

Although this kind of decision is not fair to the five hundred cavalry after the break, but the army is raised for a thousand days and used for a while, not to mention that Cheng Yanjin, as the leader, also stayed with them to carry out this dangerous task, so the five hundred cavalry did not have the slightest complaint in their hearts, and stood there in line one by one, ready to rush. There was even more of the bloodthirsty murderer who looked at the officers and soldiers not far away and licked his lips excitedly, his eyes glowing.

Looking at the officers and soldiers who were close at hand, Cheng Biting Jin yelled, "Kill!" As he spoke, he clamped his legs, rode his horse and rushed over, and behind him, five hundred cavalrymen rushed over with a fierce tiger down the mountain, a dragon out of the sea, and a fierce follow.

The officers and soldiers in the distance did not seem to expect Cheng Yanjin and the others to advance instead of retreating, so they shouted slowly for a while, "Release the arrows, release the arrows quickly!" Unexpectedly, as soon as three or two arrows were fired, Cheng Yanjin led the men and horses to kill in front of the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers who were originally lined up in a neat line suddenly became confused, and hurriedly picked up the weapons in their hands to resist.

However, what these officers and soldiers did not expect was that their resistance was like a group of sheep encountering a hungry wolf, and there was no way to resist at all. The strength of these cavalry in front of them was something that these officers and soldiers had never seen before, and under the blows of these cavalry, the armor on these officers and soldiers seemed to be as easy as paper paste.

These five hundred cavalry are all martial arts masters, the internal strength in the meridians, suddenly all of them are flexible, skilled in martial arts, and the strength is extraordinary, as soon as the weapons of the two sides come into contact, those court officers and soldiers were immediately cut in half by the company with weapons, only those officers and soldiers who use heavy weapons can barely escape the fate of being split in half.

But even so, their fate was not much better, and some unlucky guys were shocked by the profound internal force of these martial arts masters and bled on the spot, and died unexpectedly. Some were shaken out and flew high, dancing in the air for some distance and falling to the ground.

The most terrifying thing is the leader Cheng Biting Jin, who has two big plate axes in his hands and slashes left and right, and is unstoppable. As soon as a panicked unlucky ghost came within five paces of him, the two large axes in his hands immediately moved as if they had come to life, as if lightning had struck down in the sky, so that these officers and soldiers could not dodge, and split these unfortunate fellows in half with their weapons.

Seeing Cheng Biting Jin like a demon god returning from hell, holding the axe in his hand that was still dripping blood, and walking towards him, the surrounding officers and soldiers were suddenly frightened, and hurriedly hid around, and instantly gave way to a road to heaven in front of Cheng Biting Jin.

Cheng Yanjin smiled, picked up the two big axes in his hands, turned the horse's head, and killed a dense crowd. Seeing Cheng Yanjin rushing towards this side, the officers and soldiers gathered together suddenly screamed and fled in all directions.

In this way, the five hundred cavalry were like ducks, beating the enemy several times their own back. In fact, it is not surprising that such a situation happened, although the officers and soldiers of the imperial court were battle-hardened warriors, it was not that they had never seen battles and dead people, but what was happening in front of them was really beyond the scope of their cognition.

The armor and sharp weapons in their hands were like mud in front of these people, and they were like killing gods returning from hell, harvesting the lives of their companions like leeks.

Such a terrifying and strange scene suddenly made the hearts of the court officers and soldiers present shattered, and they scattered and fled in all directions, escaping the pursuit of this group of killing gods. Running from east to west, and from west to east, crowds of people in opposite directions rushed against each other, people touching people everywhere, and the sergeants were crowded into a ball, so crowded that they cried and cried for their mothers, wishing that they had two more legs, so that they could avoid the pursuit of the group of cavalry behind them.

Some of the hapless soldiers fell to the ground as they fled, and before he could get up from the ground, a group of fleeing companions stepped on him, and the hapless soldiers let out a pig-killing howl, adding a strange tune to the chaos around them.
