As they approached, the gate of the city gate suddenly opened slowly, and a team of seven or eight Song soldiers ran out of the city gate and hurriedly rushed to meet them.

The person at the head rode a horse, and it was Guo Danian, the head of Hengshan Pass.

Guo Lao sticks a shiny and clean armor, wears a new military uniform, and has New Army boots issued during the New Year on his feet.

He threw off the infantry behind him, beat his horse and whipped his horse, and came with a spring breeze on his face, and shouted happily from afar: "Dashuai, I have come to pick you up." The brothers of Hengshan Pass are looking forward to being handsome—"

Zhao Gonglian noticed that the soldiers who were running hard in the snow were also dressed brand new and clean, and the important thing was that none of them were ducks walking around their legs, and from the cheering and jumping sounds, it could be heard that they were all standard and skilled Cheongju local accents.

Zhao Gonglian and Tong Gang looked at each other and smiled, but did not respond to Guo Danian's cheering call.

Tong Gang used gestures to implicitly convey several orders to the brothers.

Zhao Gonglian tilted his head slightly, and whispered to Han Shizhong, who didn't know why: "Good minister, don't make a sound." Come into town and follow me later. ”

Han Shizhong comprehended it in the blink of an eye, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Shizhong understands." Don't worry. ”

Guo Danian rushed to stop his horse about ten meters in front of him, revealing his superb equestrian skills. He didn't get off his horse immediately, but his eyes widened with joy and he quickly scanned the guards to find where Zhao Gonglian was. But the almost indistinguishable appearance of the whole horse team made him look for it.

If it weren't for the fact that Hou Ye's guards were all wearing beautiful, generous, majestic and unique armor made of unknown things, which could indicate the identity of this team, Guo Danian was afraid that it would be difficult to confirm whether Zhao Hou Ye was really here.

The guards stood silent, and no one made a noise. Only the warhorses sneeze occasionally. The rows of warriors in front of them, behind their face armors, were staring at Zhao Danian with expressionless eyes. A solemn and oppressive atmosphere was virtually formed at the scene.

Guo Danian's face spasmed uncontrollably, and his eyes blinked. The smile involuntarily ended, and then he retracted his searching gaze, neatly turned over and dismounted, neatly straightened his armor, and knelt neatly on one knee in the snow to perform the standard military salute of the subordinates of the Great Song Dynasty to pay homage to Shangguan, and shouted loudly: "Hengshan Chief, the head Guo Danian welcomes the marshal to Hengshan Pass for inspection and review." ”

Zhao Gonglian did not squeak.

Jiao Ting, who was in front of him, urged him to step forward and lift his face armor alone, revealing his unique faceless appearance to prove his identity. Mu Mu's ugly face seemed to show a rare smile, and he said in his usual lukewarm voice: "Guo Lao sticky, get up." Patrol the hard work. Hou Ye was tired. You quickly lead the way into the level. ”

The words are still so short as gold.

When Guo Danian heard this, his smile suddenly bloomed again, his eyes lit up, and he got up neatly, but he didn't get on the horse to lead the way, but asked happily: "Jiao Guard, where is the handsome?" I always stick to his old man and lead the horse......"

And as he spoke, he walked forward with joy.

Jiao Ting instantly recovered Mu Mu's face, and the long knife in his hand blocked Guo Danian's way.

Guo Danian was stunned. Surprised, he asked, "Jiao Guard, what do you mean by this?" ”

Jiao Ting said expressionlessly: "Don't bother you to lead the horse." Execute the command. ”

Guo Danian showed a look of disappointment, restrained his smile, and replaced it with a solemn expression. His eyes scanned the guards, and he responded, "Obey." ”

He got on his horse and walked slowly ahead to lead the way.

Halfway up. The soldiers who followed him out of the customs hurried over in the snow with difficulty, panting and kneeling down to greet the commander.

Jiao Ting ordered them to lead the way in front of Guo Dutou.

The group slowly approached the level in the heavy snow. Through the cave open through the windswept snow howling castle gates. The patrol sentinels in the city stood still, silently watching the guard enter the checkpoint.

More than 20 soldiers guarding the door knelt silently and bowed on both sides of the passage outside the door to greet the marshal. Wait for all the party to enter the castle and close the gates.

But after the team was in the middle of the procession, suddenly the guards scattered in groups of threes and twos, and the guards scattered to the open space on the east and west sides of the castle, the knives were unsheathed, the shields were erected, and the crossbows were quickly taken out of the horse bags behind them and ready to be fired. Now it is impossible to tell where Zhao Gonglian has come or not.

About half of the guards jumped off their horses, quickly divided into two teams, held their weapons and shields, and formed battle groups in a blink of an eye, respectively, under the leadership of Miao Zhenglong, the deputy head of the rear guard, and Miao Tianhu, they rushed towards the city wall along the ramp not far from the city gate. Only Jiao Ting and the two guards around him who entered the city first continued to follow Guo Danian and the soldiers who went out of the city to greet Zhao Gonglian.

The city patrol was stunned when they saw the guards rushing up, and they suddenly became nervous, and their eyes flashed fiercely, and they clenched their weapons, but they did not move.

In this blink of an eye, Guo Danian, who led the way, quickly turned around in surprise and asked, "Jiao Guard, Dashuai is this?"

Jiao Ting had already put down his armor, and he couldn't see his expression, only his cold and angry eyes, and only heard his dull roar like thunder: "Traitor." ”

Guo Danian has a ghost in his heart, although he is bold and frightened, he can't help but tremble, but when the long knife flashes and the cold light mercilessly chops in, he shows an unexpected agility and skill, a dodge dodges the big knife in time, and in an instant, he pulls out the waist knife to be on guard, and at the same time rides the horse away from Jiao Ting, and then blinks his eyes to face the horse, showing superb superhuman equestrian equestrian skills, and asks: "Jiao Guard, what crime did I commit, do you want to kill me?" Could it be that you are a fake Jiao Ting? Are you an enemy thief? ”

Jiao Ting sneered: "Liao Dog is still pretending? Just a trick to deceive people? ”

The horse rushed forward, the long knife was like a horse training, last time it was a temptation, this time it was a real kill, and the speed of the knife was nearly doubled.

Guo Danian also changed his face suddenly, and shouted: "They are fake guards." The brethren killed the enemy. ”

In the middle of the shouting, the waist knife swept towards the long knife like lightning, showing his superb knife skills and extraordinary strength.

It's a pity that although Guo Danian's martial arts are strong, he doesn't know that Jiao Ting's long knife is a treasure knife that sharpens iron like clay produced by Cangzhao.

Jiao Ting was so strong that he couldn't let people go, and the long knife slashed horizontally like electricity.

Guo Danian reacted quickly, rolled off the horse with his body, and successfully escaped, and while landing steadily, he shook his hand and smashed the remaining half of the waist knife towards Jiao Ting's face, and in the other hand, a silver thing shot at Jiao Ting's throat like electricity.

It turned out to be a seven-inch-long three-edged flying knife.

Jiao Ting blocked the waste knife, and he couldn't react to the sneak attack of the hidden weapon at all, so he ignored it. The knife touched the long vertical collar of the armor, and although it was strong and sharp, it still failed to penetrate it, and was ricocheted off after a slight slump.

Jiao Ting didn't stop at all, and in an instant, the long knife slashed towards Guo Danian like lightning again. (To be continued.) )
