Datong Town, South City.

On one street, there are not many pedestrians, only a few people who are in a hurry, just thinking about hurrying back home, so as not to endure the cold wind on the street.

Liu Juntao led more than a dozen heavily armored iron cavalry soldiers to ride horses on the street, and the guerrilla general Bai Yuxing stared vigilantly at the surrounding streets, and his right hand was also placed next to the waist knife, so that he could draw the knife in his hand at any time.

Liu Juntao, on the other hand, was very relaxed, looking at the surrounding street scene with great interest, and chatting and laughing with the iron cavalry soldiers around him from time to time, without taking Song Haihuang and other assassins in his eyes at all.

Turning their heads, they came to a crossroads, where there were more and more people, and some carts and carriages passed by from time to time on the street.

Seeing this, Bai Yuxing said in a low voice: "Duxian, let's go over quickly, there are too many people here, it is inconvenient to fight!" ”

Liu Juntao was also worried that once the fight started, it would hurt the people near the left, so he nodded and led everyone to the south.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the air, and several crossbow arrows shot over, and Liu Juntao and the two iron cavalry soldiers beside him were suddenly hit by arrows and fell to the ground!

Seeing this, Bai Yuxing's eyes widened, and he burst into a shout: "Assassin! Protect the Governor! ”

The surrounding iron cavalry soldiers showed their blades one after another and rushed to Liu Juntao's side to protect them, and a few soldiers roared loudly to disperse the surrounding people so as not to be injured by mistake.

At this moment, more than 30 fierce men rushed out of the crowd with steel knives and hand~ crossbows, and immediately surrounded Liu Juntao and his party, and the sound of fighting suddenly resounded throughout the street.

The surrounding people were stunned by the bloody battle in front of them, and they scattered in all directions, screaming and shouting endlessly.

"Governor! Governor! ”

Bai Yuxing hugged Liu Juntao, who was lying on the ground, and shouted loudly in fright, his voice had changed his tone.

"Soul calling!"

Liu Juntao grinned, and casually broke off the crossbow arrow inserted in his chest, revealing the close-fitting heavy armor that was set inside his clothes, and the crossbow arrow could not be shot through at all.

However, although this crossbow arrow did not hurt Liu Juntao, the huge power also made Liu Juntao gasp: "Kill me!" Then Song Haihuang wants to stay alive! ”

The other two heavily armored iron cavalry soldiers also stood up one after another, and did not suffer any injuries, and joined the surrounding fighting.

Seeing that Liu Juntao was not injured, Bai Yuxing also breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart suddenly surged with monstrous anger and fighting intent.

"Brothers! Kill! ”

Bai Yuxing roared, picked up his waist knife and rushed forward, and launched a counterattack with the two soldiers next to him.

Liu Juntao also stood up, Miao ~ The knife was already in his hand, and he soon found a man on the chaotic street.

I saw that the man was tall and strong, and with the long hair on his face, he looked like a general.

The man was still holding a shot hand ~ crossbow in his hand, and he was very surprised to see Liu Juntao who stood up again and was alive and vigorous.

There were three assassins guarding the man, obviously the leader of these assassins, not Song Haihuang or who?

Liu Juntao roared, brandished the Miao ~ knife and rushed towards Song Haihuang, like a tiger descending the mountain, flashed two people in a row, and killed two people with a knife in his hand, and rushed to Song Haihuang and the three subordinates! Seeing that Liu Juntao was so brave and his carefully selected elite subordinates couldn't resist Liu Juntao's blow, Song Haihuang was also panicked, so he wanted to call his subordinates around him to come up and kill Liu Juntao.

However, at this time, the fighting on the street had evolved into a scuffle, and although the more than 30 assassins brought by Song Haihuang were superior in number and had a surprise attack to take the lead, no matter how brave these assassins were, they were not the opponents of Liu Juntao's heavily armored iron cavalry soldiers.

These dozen or so heavy-armored iron cavalry soldiers are all elite soldiers in the Longxiang army, with Liu Juntao twice north to Beijing City, twice galloped to aid Datong Town, and the Wara army has fought many bloody battles, it can be described as a tiger warrior for the rest of the battle, although such soldiers do not carry firearms such as birds, but only with the sword against several times the enemy is not inferior, not to mention only more than 30 assassins?

Song Haihuang shouted a few times, and none of the surrounding subordinates rushed over to support.

At this time, under the leadership of the guerrilla general Bai Yuxing, more than a dozen heavily armored iron cavalry soldiers launched a siege, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen assassins fell in a pool of blood, and only three of the heavy armored iron cavalry soldiers were injured and retreated, these assassins were too busy to take care of themselves, how could they support Song Haihuang?

Seeing this, Song Haihuang was suddenly shocked, the situation at this time can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, he came to assassinate in order to avenge the head of the family, it seems that this time the defeat has been decided.

However, Song Haihuang still didn't give up, so he beckoned the three subordinates around him to face Liu Juntao and kill him, hoping that he could kill Liu Juntao, even if all of them were folded here, it could be regarded as avenging the head of the family!

This Song Haihuang also has a trace of reliance on his own force, after all, he has always been known for his strength, and he has never met an opponent, thinking that although Liu Juntao is a general with a prominent record, he is not necessarily his opponent.

Liu Juntao was even more fearless, brandishing the Miao ~ knife and rushed into the crowd, and with a sudden wave of his hand, the Miao ~ knife in his hand was like lightning, cutting the neck of an assassin, and suddenly a stream of hot blood flew into the air, startling the other two assassins to scream.

Song Haihuang was also taken aback in his heart, but he didn't stop at his feet, he dropped his hand~ crossbow, held the knife in both hands, aimed at Liu Juntao's shoulders and slashed down, and the two assassins next to him also surrounded him left and right, ready to attack Liu Juntao on the side.

Who knew that Liu Juntao did not retreat but advanced, and the Miao ~ knife in his hand swung from the bottom up, and fought heavily with the war knife chopped by Song Haihuang, making a deafening loud noise, and even a trace of spark could be seen.

What frightened Song Haihuang was that his blow from top to bottom and with all his strength was blocked by Liu Juntao, and a huge force came from the sword, which immediately made Song Haihuang's hands tremble, and the tiger's mouths on his hands were faintly cracked.

Liu Juntao roared, waved his hands violently, and flew Song Haihuang's battle knife away, and then flew up and kicked Song Haihuang in the abdomen, directly kicking him out.

At this time, the two assassins killed at the same time, Liu Juntao blocked the machete on the left with a knife, and then grabbed the short spear stabbed on the right, and then roared, the assassin on the right was suddenly frightened and stunned on the spot, and even the assassin on the left involuntarily took a few steps back.

Liu Juntao stepped forward suddenly, and with a single elbow he hit the chest of the assassin on the right, and the assassin immediately spat blood and flew out and fell to the ground.

The assassin on the left screamed and turned to run, and was slashed to the ground by Liu Juntao.

At this time, the battle on the street was nearing its end, and all but three of the more than 30 assassins brought by Song Haihuang were annihilated.

And Song Haihuang didn't escape, after being kicked away by Liu Juntao, he wanted to get up and run away, but his abdomen was in severe pain, and he couldn't use his strength all over his body, so he was seriously injured by Liu Juntao's kick!

Seeing this, Bai Yuxing rushed over with two heavily armored iron cavalry soldiers and captured Song Haihuang alive.

Liu Juntao looked at the blood-drenched street, and only five of the dozen or so heavy-armored iron cavalry soldiers accompanying him were injured, and he was relieved.

After a while, Xue Tong, the chief military officer of Datong Town, and Xiang Qun, the head of the military department, arrived with their troops, and hundreds of soldiers alerted the surrounding area for several miles and began a large-scale search, and then expanded to the whole city to conduct a search, preventing Song Haihuang and other comrades from hiding in it.

Liu Juntao handed over these matters to Xue Tong and Xiang Qun to deal with, and he returned to the Governor's Mansion with Bai Yuxing and other soldiers, handed over Song Haihuang and the three captured assassins to Huang Wu, and asked the Inspection Department to mobilize people for interrogation, and let Liu Zi'an also bring his right-hand men to participate in it and assist from the side.

Huang Wu was originally the commander of the Beizhen Fusi, and the interrogation methods of Jinyiwei were superb, coupled with Liu Zi'an's assistance, ordinary people couldn't resist it at all.

However, Song Haihuang was also a man, and he persisted for two days under the joint interrogation of Huang Wu and Liu Zi'an, and it was not until the afternoon of the third day that he completely collapsed and began to confess.

The other three assassins were not as hard-mouthed as Song Haihuang, and one of them confessed directly on the same day, telling everything he knew, and even telling how many people he had stolen.

One of the Assassins was wounded and choked during the interrogation.

The last Assassin was slightly better, and confessed in the early hours of the next morning.

Huang Wu and Liu Zi'an compared and corroborated the confessions of Song Haihuang and the others, and after confirming that they were correct, they presented them to Liu Juntao.

Shanxi Governor's Palace.

Liu Juntao looked at the confessions sorted out by Huang Wu and Liu Zi'an, and frowned slightly.

In this mouth, Zhang Yongxiang, Wu Yuan and others who have been escorted to the capital are not involved.

To put it bluntly, this assassination was just Song Haihuang's own behavior, just to avenge his family master.

"Revise this confession, and then tell that Song Haihuang!"

Huang Wu and Liu Zi'an glanced at each other, and immediately understood what Liu Juntao meant, this is to make this assassination bigger, to implicate Zhang Yongxiang, Wu Yuan and other criminals, as well as the connections of these criminals in the court!

"Since these people are looking for death, then the governor will fulfill them!"

Liu Juntao said coldly: "Tell that Song Haihuang, don't talk nonsense after entering Beijing, this governor can still protect him with a whole corpse!" ”

This Song Haihuang, Zhang Yongxiang, Wu Yuan and others are not good people, they are not traitor businessmen at this moment, so Huang Wu and Liu Zi'an have no pressure on this matter, and immediately took the order.

A few days later, the news of the assassination of Liu Juntao, the governor of Shanxi, in the town of Datong spread throughout the northern Ming Dynasty, and then Liu Juntao escorted the captured assassins, confessions, and evidence to the capital.
