As Lord Liu shouted, Hulala rushed in dozens of fierce soldiers with swords, armor, and hideous faces, standing behind Lord Liu in a circle.

Zhang Baiqian, who had been silent, slowly stood up from his seat and said with a smile: "Lord Liu, if I tell you that the five thousand guards you brought are probably all tied up like dead pigs at this time, will you still be so domineering?" ”

When Lord Liu heard this, he hurriedly turned his head to look at the soldiers with knives, but he didn't know any of them! His face was as dead as death, and he immediately collapsed in his seat speechless, sweating like he had just been fished out of the water in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Baiqian picked up a bowl of wine and looked around at everyone, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brothers, Master Wu treats me like father and son, three generations of loyalty, behind the gate, but now we have ended up like this!" I'm not convinced! With such a court, what's the use of protecting it?! As a seven-foot man, he would rather die standing than live on his knees! Today I am going to kill this dog Qincha, go out of the same state, defect to the Red Turban Rebels, and avenge Lord Wu! Those who do not want to follow, brother, I will never force it, but those who dare to obstruct it will be your mortal enemy on the battlefield in the future! Let Zhang do it first as a respect! As he spoke, he drank it all and threw the empty bowl on the ground, and the coarse porcelain bowl was split in an instant.

Most of the generals raised their wine bowls and drank them all, while some silently put down their wine bowls and looked around hesitantly.

The fierce night wind stirred a row of flags next to the school yard, making a fluttering sound. The heavily armed soldiers were silent. Lord Qincha Liu's blood-dripping head with a distorted face hung on a high flagpole. The red tassels on Zhang Baiqian's helmet fluttered in the wind, and his black and shiny armor exuded a murderous aura. He rode steadily on a white horse, slowly drew the sword at his waist, and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, we all came here with the idea of becoming soldiers and eating food and protecting our families and people. But now the court is chaotic, and traitors are in charge. The martial arts people who have been loyal and good for generations are also victimized by traitors! It's a man who can't swallow this breath. I, Zhang Baiqian, raised the anti-flag, not for glory and wealth, and second, I am not afraid of losing my head! I just want to give justice to Lord Wu and give justice to the people of the world! I will not force the brothers who are willing to stay here, I am willing to follow me to eradicate the evil and kill a fair world, raise the torch in my hand, and we will go out of Tongzhou City together and join the Red Turban Righteous Army! There is no one to withhold our military salaries, everyone there has a field to plant, and there is meat to eat and drink to drink! Would you like to? ”

The crowd below raised their torches in unison and responded loudly: "Kill all the dog officials, and go out of the same state!" The majestic and loud shouts vibrated and roared in the dark night, spreading farther and farther.

That night, nearly 40,000 of the 50,000 Tongzhou defenders rushed out of the wide open city gate with torches in their hands and marched in the direction of Pingzhou, all of them wrapped their foreheads in bright red cloth. In front of the team, the red turban army banner of "walking for heaven and saving the common people" was erected.

"Miss, why are you up so early? I heard that it took two days for the master to bring his troops back to the city. Pei Zhu looked at Li Shiqing who pushed the door out and said in surprise.

Li Shiqing's pale face suddenly flushed, and she said, "Phew, you dead girl is talking more and more presumptuously." What does it have to do with him whether I wake up early or not? And in the future--- don't call me Miss anymore, just call me Madame. After speaking, Li Shiqing's face turned even redder, and she lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at Pei Zhu's eyes.

Pei Zhu stuck out her tongue playfully, bowed down and said, "Yes, madam." ”

"Well, while the weather is fine these two days, you go and dry the bedding. He was also instructed to go down and sweep the courtyard. On the day your lord returns, go to the market to buy more wine and meat. He led his troops to run around, thinking that he must not be able to eat well. Li Shiqing commanded as if she was in charge.

Pei Zhu's eyes turned around twice in his sockets, and he smiled evilly: "Didn't you say that it has nothing to do with the master?" How can I listen to Madame's words that are relevant to him? ”

Li Shiqing's cheeks flew up to Hongxia again, and she feigned anger: "Do you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I beat you?!" ”

Pei Zhu giggled and ran away, saying as he ran: "Madam, don't worry, the slave will arrange it." ”

Li Shiqing turned around and looked up at the eastern sky, where a warm morning sun was rising, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhang Baiqian looked at the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, holding shields and spears, gathering neatly and waiting for the horses, and gently reined in the reins. Along the way, they repelled several small groups of intercepting teams, and saw that they were only a hundred miles away from Zhuozhou Mansion, but they had to face the most powerful resistance.

A war horse slowly walked out of the opposite camp, and the man on the horse was carrying a long knife and a long black beard hanging down to his chest, and shouted loudly when he approached: "Brother Bai Qian, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Zhang Baiqian stepped forward immediately, the two were a stone's throw away, and the person who came hung the long knife on the side of the saddle, clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Brother Bai Qian, don't come unharmed!" ”。

Zhang Baiqian hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted back: "It turned out to be a middle-aged brother, you and I are mostly apart, and it has been three years in the blink of an eye!" I don't know if my brother's foot disease is already good? ”

The person nodded and said, "Thank you Brother Bai Qian, it's good to be good." On that day, the capital drank and got drunk, how happy! Who would have thought that we would meet here in this way today! Brother Ren might as well listen to the advice of the foolish brother: Restrain the horse from the precipice, turn back to the shore! I already have Dazai's edict in my hand, as long as Brother Bai Qian turns the horse's head, he will not be blamed for the past! If you dare to resist, there will be no forgiveness! Don't embarrass your little brother! ”

Zhang Baiqian laughed loudly: "How can there be a turning arrow when you open the bow!" Brother Zhongnian doesn't need to say much, just let the horse come! Take this opportunity for you and me to fight for 300 rounds, whether it is life or death, isn't it also a great joy in life? ”

The other party was silent for a while.

Then there was a long sigh, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Baiqian, why is this difficult? You're taking your brothers to death! ”。

Zhang Baiqian replied loudly: "Put it in the place of death and come back to life." Heaven is unfair, I will do it! ”

After staring for a long time, both of them stopped talking, and at the same time clasped their fists and saluted, and both turned their horses to return to the team.

The earth-shattering drums of war sounded, and both sides blew their whimpering horns at the same time.

Zhang Baiqian raised the spear in his hand, looked around at the generals and shouted, "Brothers! The opposite side is no longer our former allies, but our enemies! Whoever stops me is dead, kill! ”。

Two streams of armor of the same color and iron streams of the same equipment collided violently together, and a fierce fight began to be fought to the death.

Zhang Baiqian took the lead, the spear in his hand danced wildly like a golden snake, and instantly unceremoniously pierced the chest of several opposing cavalrymen, and the corpses were picked up and pegased. Soon, a long knife blocked the momentum of the spear like a rainbow, and Zhang Baiqian laughed wildly: "Brother Zhongnian, I've kept you waiting for a long time!" With the strength of his arms, he shook his spear like a dragon crossing the river, and pounced on the impermeable blade. The two did not give in to each other and fought in one place.

After a hundred moves, Zhang Baiqian's eyes were sharp, and he looked at the opponent's vacancy, and the spear quickly poked out and stabbed the opponent's door. The opponent's move is old, the knife is difficult to retract, "ah" exclaimed, instinctively lowered his head to dodge, "bell", the tip of the gun pierced the hard helmet, the cowhide rope tied to the jaw was broken, and the helmet flew out a foot away. The other party pulled the horse and left, Zhang Baiqian urged the horse to chase quickly, but he didn't run ten steps, and suddenly a silver light flashed in front of him, and the other party returned to the horse and slashed it. Zhang Baiqian secretly screamed badly, shrunk his shoulders and lowered his head to dodge, and when he straightened up, the red tassel on his helmet had long since disappeared.

Both stopped their movements at the same time, looked at each other and smiled.

"Brother Bai Qian is good at marksmanship, and he almost took my life!"

"Brother Zhongnian's knife skills are sharp, and he agreed!"

The two looked around at the same time, and the soldiers on both sides were still fighting bloodily, each other suffered heavy casualties, and they were in a stalemate. Although the blood has flowed like a river, it is difficult to distinguish between the two for a while.

"Mingjin retreats!" The man with the long knife turned his horse and left, no longer looking back at Zhang Baiqian.

Hearing the other party's singing, Zhang Baiqian's subordinates' morale suddenly boosted, shouting wildly and waving the bloody knives and guns in their hands.

"Your Excellency! The battlefield is undecided, at this time Mingjin withdrew his troops and let go of the thieves, how do we explain to the court? The bloodied lieutenant staggered to his knees in front of his horse and cried.

"Howl what? I will plead guilty to the court, and it will not be your turn to lose my head! Gently hanging the long knife on the hook and ring, Du Zhongnian looked up at the yellow dust rolling away, his eyes full of sadness.

"Madam, I'm back" Guan Yu looked at Li Shiqing's flushed cheeks with a grin. When he got closer, he raised his hand and gently scratched her nose, and asked shyly, "Did you miss me?"

Li Shiqing glanced at Pei Zhu, who was covering her mouth and snickering behind her, and felt even more embarrassed. Since she was a child, she was praised by her parents for being smart and clever, but in the face of this shameless bandit, she felt like she was stupid, and there was nothing she could do.

"Madame's face is ruddy, and she seems to have gained a little weight, Pei Zhu, you take good care of it, this is a reward for you." Saying that, Guan Yu took out a pair of gold bracelets from his arms and threw them to Pei Zhu, and then took out a golden Buddha pendant with full luster and hung it on Li Shiqing's jade neck.

Li Shiqing was surprised: "Didn't you lead the troops to fight?" Where did you get these? ”

Guan Yu said with a smile: "It's true to lead troops to fight, this is what I bought when I passed through Tongzhou on the way back---- I bought it." ”

He turned his face to Pei Zhu Zhengse and said, "You go and arrange for the cook to prepare more wine and food, and I will entertain a newly recognized old brother in a while." Xiao Bisheng is newly married, I will take my wife back to the house to give her a pulse. As he spoke, he picked up Li Shiqing by the waist, Li Shiqing blushed in fright and waved her small fist to beat Guan Yu's sturdy back, and said angrily: "You are crazy!" ”

Guan Yu looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "It's rare to go crazy a few times in life!" Madame, let's go crazy together. With that, he strode into the back room and closed the door with his feet neatly shut.

Pei Zhu, who was red-faced and couldn't bear it, trotted all the way to the kitchen, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Baiqian led the team to run for dozens of miles in one go, and seeing that there were no more pursuers in the rear, he ordered to slow down the march. Just as he was about to catch his breath, he suddenly heard the sound of a horn, and tens of thousands of horses were killed in the rumbling ground, and in the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by a group. Zhang Baiqian looked at the other party's swords and guns from a distance, and then looked back at his dusty and exhausted subordinates, and couldn't help but gasp.
