"Who are you," said a quick catcher, "we are subordinates of Lord Zhizhou, and those who know each other should leave quickly, and we can treat the previous incident as if it didn't happen." ”

Fang Jie laughed and said, "It's okay, I'll send you away first, and then I'll let your Lord Zhizhou accompany you later." ”

The faces of the trappers changed, and they were about to say something more, but they saw Fang Jie rushing over with his fists clenched. Xu Ziling next to him also followed in an instant.

The woman standing behind the trappers also killed them with double knives, and cooperated with the two of them to flank the trappers.

The situation was urgent, and the three catchers had no time to think about it, so they had to face Xu Ziling one by one.

The trappers have always been bullies and bullies the few, and one and three people faced each other alone, and they suddenly fell behind, and they were beaten to the point that they only had the power to parry.

Before ten moves, Xu Ziling smashed the atrium of the catcher in front of him with a punch, and the woman on the side used the back of the knife to stun the catcher who was fighting against her.

Only Fang Jie is still fighting with the catcher. His fist and foot skills are not good, and he fights with Na Catch with his bare hands, which can only be regarded as a slight advantage, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner without fighting a hundred and ten rounds.

And when he saw that his companions had fallen, he turned around and wanted to run, but after walking less than two steps, he was hammered on the shoulder by Xu Ziling, rolled back to Fang Jie, and was kicked and broken by him.

Seeing that both of them were mercilessly killed, the woman frowned and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?" ”

"No matter what," Xu Ziling walked up to the catcher who was stunned by the woman, stretched out his hand and twisted his throat, and turned back and said, "None of us are enemies." ”

The woman stared at him for a few moments, snorted coldly, and left the alley without saying a word.

Fang Jie walked over to the only remaining catcher and kicked him in the neck as he begged for mercy.

After dealing with it, Fang Jie picked up a knife and left the alley with Xu Ziling. Not long after they came out of the alley, the two saw Yu Mengqi walking towards the alley.

Seeing Fang Jie turn around and follow, Xu Ziling hurriedly grabbed him: "Let him report the news, the chaos in the government is more conducive to our actions." ”

Fang Jie turned around and smiled: "In this case, wouldn't that girl have to bear the charge of killing and arresting us for us?" ”

Xu Ziling said: "When the army breaks through Taizhou City in the evening, any crime is a joke." ”

"That's right." Fang Jie nodded slightly.

Then the two took off their masks and returned to the previous restaurant, staying until night before going out. During the period, I saw that several fierce and vicious catchers came to the restaurant and arrested the shopkeeper.

Before going to the palace, Xu Ziling went to the side of the city wall and drove the Manichaean disciples to fly in the red sky outside the wall. The officers and soldiers on the city wall saw a black shadow flying overhead, thinking it was a wild goose flying south, but they didn't pay attention to it.

After having Chixiao, the two easily sneaked into the backyard of the mansion.

As soon as they entered the courtyard and saw the flowers, stones and trees around them, the two couldn't help but secretly marvel. Compared with the mansion of Gu An, the governor of Hangzhou, the government of this Taizhou city is actually not reckless, which shows that the governor of Taizhou and Gu An are also the same dog.

The news of the afternoon reached the government office, and at this time the entire government office was already in chaos, and Zhao Zhidao sent some of the guards out to assist in arresting the female thief with high martial arts.

Along the way, Xu Ziling and the others did not encounter many patrolling guards, so they found the main hall where Zhao Zhidao was. The reason why they could be sure that Zhao Zhidao was inside was because they saw four guards just in front of the door of the lobby.

No wonder there were few guards patrolling the house, and they were all gathered by him.

Hiding behind a big tree and looking at the tightly defended gate, Fang Jie asked, "Is it too risky to attack?" ”

"No, you have to attack," Xu Ziling looked sideways at the roof, pulled Chixiao out and said, "Later, you pretend to attack and attract the guards at the door, and I will go down from the roof and come back to help you after I capture him." ”

Fang Jie nodded and said: "Okay, but you have to be careful, the situation inside is unknown, if you can't do anything, you can withdraw directly, don't fall in love." ”

Xu Ziling nodded, didn't speak, smiled slightly, and directly pushed him out with a palm.

Fang Jie scolded secretly, hurriedly put on the mask, and at the same time pulled out the short knife on his waist.

"There are assassins!" As soon as he saw Fang Jie dodging out from behind the tree, the guard at the entrance of the lobby shouted loudly, and then rushed over.

Taking advantage of the gap between the guards running towards Fang Jie, Xu Ziling stepped on the red sky and flew to the roof of the lobby, found a position close to the beam of the room by feeling, and waved the sword in both hands, and swept heavily on the rubble.

After the sound of "boom", the sound of "bang" sounded, and Xu Ziling only felt that his feet were empty, and he fell down with the surrounding tiles.

Before Chixiao flew to his feet, Xu Ziling only felt a pain in his buttocks, as if he had hit someone's head, and hurriedly rolled over with his strength and stood on the ground.

When I looked back, I found that the man who was about fifty years old was bleeding and slumped on the chair.

"It's an assassin! Hurry up and save Lord Zhao! A man dressed as a scribe next to him shouted.

Xu Ziling looked around and found that there were still two guards guarding the house, and after hearing the noise, they were running towards him one after the other.

However, the position where Xu Ziling fell was very coincidental, just near Zhao Zhidao's desk, and when he saw the guards flying over, he immediately grabbed Chixiao and threw it out, and then grabbed Zhao Zhidao's belt, kicked it under his feet, and rose from the ground.

I saw Chixiao fly straight towards the man dressed as a scribe who was retreating quickly, slashed over his throat in his astonishment, and then turned around and flew towards Xu Ziling, and before he landed, Kankan flew to his feet.

When the two guards who arrived saw this scene, they were shocked and hurriedly jumped up, wanting to arrest Zhao Shidao back.

saw Xu Ziling sneering and stepped on the red sky and volleyed away.

Outside the door, Fang Jie was being chased by the guards and running around in the backyard, when he suddenly saw Xu Ziling grabbing Zhao Zhidao and coming with a sword, and said happily: "Brother Xu, I'm here!" ”

"Jump up," Xu Ziling shouted, "I'll catch you." ”

Fang Jie comprehended, threw the knife in his hand at the chasing guard, and then jumped up.

When the guards looked up, they saw Xu Ziling's sword flying by, grabbed Fang Jie who jumped up, and walked away with a person in one hand.

"Brother Xu, you're going in the wrong direction," Fang Jie, who was being carried, shouted urgently, "Our people are all at the North City Gate, why do you go south?" ”

Xu Ziling gritted his teeth and didn't speak, still flying south. After flying over a few more streets, Xu Ziling's true qi was consumed by most of it, and he didn't dare to fly anymore, so he let the two go.

After landing, Xu Ziling gasped and said: "To, fly south, in order to attract the searching officers and soldiers to the south, so that the army can attack the north gate in one fell swoop." ”

Fang Jie touched his head and smiled: "I didn't expect this stubble, Brother Xu, you are resourceful." ”

Throwing Zhao Zhidao to Fang Jie, Xu Ziling said: "Don't say it, let's go quickly, I deliberately flew for so long before, just to let the officers and soldiers search south for a while, and while the officers and soldiers didn't react, we hurried back to the north gate." ”

Fang Jie nodded, carried Zhao Shidao on his shoulder, and followed Xu Ziling along the alleys and paths with few people towards the North City Gate.

Along the way, he encountered several groups of searching officers and soldiers, Xu Ziling repeated his old tricks, and Edgeworth took the two to hide high in the house, and then came down after the officers and soldiers left.

In this way, after a long time, the two of them returned to the vicinity of the north gate with Zhao Zhidao, called out all the hidden Manichaean disciples, and killed them together at the north gate.

Before he could approach the city gate, he heard the sergeant shouting, "Stop! Zhao Zhizhou has an order that he is not allowed to enter or leave the city at night. ”

"Hmph," but seeing Fang Jie snort lightly, he held Zhao Shidao high and asked, "You have to take a closer look, who is this?" ”

The sergeant was quite puzzled, looked at it, and said angrily: "Lord Zhao! Who are you, and how can Lord Zhao be in your hands? ”

Fang Jie said in a deep voice: "Don't care who we are, you just have to let us out of the city, out of the city, we will let Zhao Shidao go, otherwise I will kill him now." ”

The sergeant was extremely anxious in his heart, he was really afraid that Zhao Shidao would die here at the city gate, seeing that Fang Jie and the others were wearing coarse cloth clothes and had no weapons in their hands, thinking that they had committed a crime and wanted to escape from the city, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, I will let you out, but you have to keep your promise, otherwise after you leave the city, I will order the crossbowmen on the city tower to shoot you with arrows." ”

Fang Jie smiled and said loudly: "That's nature!" Killing the imperial court official is a capital crime, as long as we are not cornered, how dare we really kill Lord Zhao. ”

The sergeant did not doubt him, nodded his head, and asked the sergeant to open the gates.

The Manichaean people in disguise began to slowly leave the city, Fang Jie walked in the center of the crowd with Zhao Shidao, and when he walked past the previous sergeant, he heard him ask in a deep voice, "Can you release Lord Zhao now?" ”

"Of course," Fang Jie laughed, and threw Zhao Shidao at him suddenly, "Then!" ”

At the same time, the walking Manichaeans almost simultaneously burst out, hugging or pulling, entangled the officers and soldiers guarding the door, and then a scream rang out, and the crazy Manichaeans either buttoned their eyes or bit their throats, and tortured and killed the entangled officers and soldiers like wild beasts.

When the sergeant who caught Zhao Zhidao heard the screams of the officers and soldiers, he already realized what was happening, but he opened his mouth, and before he could scream, he was punched in the chest and abdomen by Xu Ziling, and he could no longer speak.

In less than a cup of tea, the gates were taken over by the Manichaeans. The officers and soldiers on the castle tower heard the noise below and immediately walked down.

At this moment, in the distance outside the city, bursts of shouts came slowly, faintly "Long live the Holy Father", which was endless.

The officers and soldiers on the gatehouse who had not yet descended looked out, and were immediately frightened, only to see the fire in the distance as vast as a sea of stars, illuminating a large wilderness around it, and countless figures rushed towards the north gate under the firelight. Judging by the light of the fire, no less than five or six thousand people came.

The officers and soldiers who poured down the gatehouse were furious when they saw the plight of their comrades and the Manichaeans who had taken control of the gates. The captain who guarded the gatehouse immediately told the crossbowmen to bend their bows and arrows, ready to shoot them. However, just as he was about to give the order to shoot, he saw a man at the gate of the city holding Zhao Shidao and walking in front of the army.

"Wait!" The lieutenant hurriedly stopped, and then ordered in a loud voice: "The crossbowmen immediately return to the city wall, and the bandit army outside the city will shoot at will if they approach." The infantry under the city will slash and kill the thieves with me, rescue Lord Zhao, and recapture the city gate. ”

With Zhao Zhidao here, the officers and soldiers did not dare to release arrows, and the captain had to lead the infantry to kill the city gate.

However, the space of the city gate was already narrow, and there were not many sergeants, coupled with masters like Xu Ziling and Fang Jie blocking the front, the officers and soldiers could not advance or retreat for a while, and the captain and Xu Ziling fought dozens of moves, and were blown out by a punch.

After a while, the shouts of "Long live the Holy Father" outside the city were already deafening, and the officers and soldiers in front of the city gate still had a hard time entering.

On the gatehouse, watching the endless torches approaching the city gate, the officers and soldiers broke out in a cold sweat on their backs, and the hands holding the bows and crossbows couldn't help but tremble slightly.
