At night, Hongze Lake was shrouded in a thick layer of white fog, and a small boat ghostly passed through the layers of white fog and headed for the island in the middle of the lake. At the bow of the boat stood a guest from Qingzhou, squinting his eyes slightly, and brushing his mustache thoughtfully.

In the early morning, Zheng Lin'er accompanied Guan Yu and others to walk on the undulating dirt road on the island. Zheng Lin'er has been quite familiar with the four of them in the past few days, and she will appear in front of their door with a smile on her face every morning. This made Guan Yu's heart warmly moved, but also a little ashamed. If he met a person full of scheming, he would have the fun of fighting wits and courage with his opponent, but Zheng Lin'er's simplicity and simplicity made him embarrassed.

In the grove not far from them, Zheng Haoran was walking and talking with a man in a soap coat and a mustache under his chin.

The man said in a low voice: "Our Eastern Lord has long had the intention of returning to the imperial court, but there has never been a suitable opportunity!" Now that the time is ripe, as long as you hold back the people of the king of Dingbei, my prince will attack Pingzhou on a large scale, overthrow Dachu, and return to Daqi. ”

Zheng Haoran stopped, looked at the other party with suspicious eyes, and did not speak. He lowered his head and thought about it: This Zhendong King sent a generous gift, and wanted to echo him from afar to overthrow Da Chu, whether it was true or not, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Even if the king of Zhendong wants to stand on his own, it will be a heavy blow to Da Chu, and he will not suffer a loss if he calculates it.

The mustache suddenly stopped, and at the same time he lowered himself and crouched in the grass and stared ahead, his eyes bulging out, as if they were about to fall out of their sockets.

Zheng Haoran looked in the direction of his gaze, and saw that his sister had a ruddy face, next to a little white face, laughing like silver bells as she walked, and her eyes never left the face of that guy. They were followed by three strong men with relaxed expressions.

Zheng Haoran snorted coldly, but they walked away before they said to the mustache: "Do you see anything wrong with the distinguished guest?" ”。

The mustachioed man stood up, his eyes still on the backs of Guan Yu and his party. After a while, he turned his head and asked, "Does Zheng Shaoxia know the origin of that person?" ”。

Zheng Haoran smiled and said: "Of course, the white-faced scholar's name is Bi Lei, and he is the life-saving benefactor of the sister. The four of them were originally brave soldiers of the hussar battalion, and the hussar battalion was scattered, so they drifted here, and they came to join the gang a few days ago, and they wanted to work with the regiment to deal with the thieves of Dachu! ”。

The mustache bent down and rubbed it deeply, and said eagerly: "Shaoxia, you have been deceived!" The little one dares to take the head of the Xiang to guarantee, this person is Guan Yu, the king of the North of the Great Chu Ding, who has come to destroy you! ”。

Zheng Haoran was taken aback when he heard this, took two steps back, and asked with a pale face, "Is this true?" ”。

The mustache nodded deeply three times with a solemn expression, and then said: "Don't worry, young man, since this guy took the initiative to send it to the door, God really helps me!" This person's martial arts are strong and should not be underestimated. Let's go back at once, gather everyone to discuss a foolproof plan, and let him run his wings! ”。

Near noon, Guan Yu and the others, accompanied by Zheng Lin'er, returned to their accommodation, and as soon as Zheng Lin'er left on the front foot, a soldier came on the back foot, informing them that the regimental training envoy invited them over.

The four of them came to a small thatched hut under the leadership of that soldier, this was not the wooden house they used to go to, Guan Yu felt strange, turned his head and glanced at Qiao Feng and the other three, and asked them to be careful.

When he entered the door, he didn't see Zheng Haoran's figure, and the soldier Yong said everyone wait a minute, then turned around and walked out, and closed the door with him. Guan Yu secretly screamed badly, rushed to the door of the house, stretched out his hand to pull the door, and found that the door had been locked from the outside. He dodged to the window, lightly clicked the lattice paper, and saw through the tiny hole a large crowd of people rushing up around him, each holding a large pile of dry wood in his hand, and discarding it in the corner of the wall outside the house. Guan Yu stretched out his hand and tried it, the thick earthen wall did not move at all, he looked around, and said in a low voice: "Brothers, go to the roof." We've been spotted, and the thieves are going to do it! ”。

Before the words fell, the window lattice, which was as dense as the sharp arrows of flying locusts, came to the house*, and the arrows of the sharp arrows were wrapped in a thick layer, and the cotton cloth was soaked in tung oil, and there was smoke from the fire.

Among the four people, there is no doubt that Guan Yu's light skills are the most successful, he tiptoed a little, and easily shot down a few rockets that swept around him, and with a loan in the air, he had already jumped to the roof. Swinging his palm up, there was no masonry on the roof, just a thick layer of thatch. Guan Yu was overjoyed in his heart, and his feet flew out from the crack in the roof.

The dry wood around the house had been lit, and the flames were rising with thick smoke, which was a good cover for Guan Yu, and when he jumped from the roof and landed in front of a large group of crossbowmen, people thought that they had seen a damn in broad daylight.

Seeing that the bandits were gathering more and more, Guan Yu didn't dare to pause for a moment, and after quickly knocking down the archers in front of him, he jumped into the enemy group, first grabbed a big knife in his hand, cut down several thieves, and grabbed a few big guns, and threw them back without looking back.

Qiao Feng, Zhang Wuji, and Duan Yu, who had just jumped off the roof, flew to catch the spear thrown by Guan Yu, and rushed into the enemy formation with a loud shout. The three fierce men with weapons in their hands were like tigers, and the thieves in front of them were swept down by them in an instant.

The thatched hut was on fire, and in a matter of moments, the roof was burned down.

Zheng Haoran, who was watching the battle from a small mound from afar, gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't expect them to escape from the roof. ”

Chang Erhu, who was black and strong behind him, laughed and said, "What about escaping from the sea of fire? There are three layers inside and three layers outside our army, and I want to see how long they can carry it! ”。

In the battle circle, the steel knife in Guan Yu's hand flew up and down without mercy, but when he saw the enemy troops around him gathering more and more, his heart couldn't help but be gloomy: This island in the middle of the lake is surrounded by water on all sides, even if we wait to kill to the water's edge, it will still be a dead end! The big rivers and waves have come over, is it destined to sink in this small ditch? That's it, let's kill him first!

Over there, Qiao Feng, Zhang Wuji, and Duan Yu were all desperately gritting their teeth and fighting on their own, they wanted to open a bloody road and move closer to General Guan, but the enemy soldiers on the other side had obviously seen through their thoughts, and they went forward one after another desperately, trying their best to separate them. After a short while, a white mist rose above the heads of the three of them, and their movements gradually slowed down.

On the other side of Zheng Haoran's horse, the elder with black and white beard, staring at the tall and thin man with protruding and sinister eyes, raised the big knife in his hand, turned his face to Chang Erhu and said, "It's almost time, it's time for us to go into battle!" ”。

Chang Erhu nodded, shook the spear in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, the time has come, send them to the western sky!" Almost at the same time, the two of them urged the horses under their crotches and rushed towards the whirlpool of the crowd with murderous energy.
