Although the courtyard wall of the Assassin's Mansion is high, it is easy for Xu Jin and Hui Ze to climb over the wall.

The two found a secluded and uninhabited corner, Hui Ze leaned against the wall, made a ladder with his hands, and sent Xu Jin's foot in his hand upward, Xu Jin jumped and ran up the wall; After turning around, he reached out and pulled a handful of Hui Ze below, and Hui Ze came up easily.

The two of them followed the corner of the wall, using grass and trees and shadows as cover, and began to search for Chen Qingzhi's whereabouts in the Thorn History Mansion.

Hiding all the way to the lobby.

Xu Jin and Hui Ze saw that under the corridor outside the lobby, there were actually more than ten guards holding steel knives in ambush at this moment, holding their breath and waiting for the battle.

"Brother Chen must be in that room!" Xu Jin said affirmatively, "These dog thieves really want to kill Brother Chen." ”

"We have to get Brother Chen out quickly, let's go!" Hui Ze clenched the iron rod in his hand.

"Don't worry, these guards outside haven't moved yet, which means that Brother Chen is okay for the time being, let's create some chaos to distract them first." Xu Jin stopped Hui Ze.

"How?"

"You're watching here, I'm going to set a fire! When the fire starts and you rush out from here, I will rush over from the other side, quickly kill these guards at the door, and snatch Brother Chen out! ”

In the lobby, Xiao Zong gritted his teeth and said to Chen Qingzhi with resentment, "Those so-called brothers, because of this rumor, bullied me when I was a child, and when I grew up, I was excluded everywhere. But when I learned the truth, I was glad that this rumor was true, because I could finally take revenge on them! ”

"Xuzhou is important, right?" Xiao Zong smiled wryly, "Now, I'm going to give it to the Northern Wei Dynasty!" In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will wave my army south and go straight to Jiankang! I'm going to light the lamp with the skulls of those so-called brothers! ”

After speaking, Xiao Zong burst into a burst of laughter.

"Xiao Zong, are you crazy?" Chen Qingzhi interrupted his wild laughter with angry shouts.

"I said it," Xiao Zong suppressed his smile and glared at Chen Qingzhi viciously, "There is no Xiao Zong here, only Xiao Zan!" ”

"I'm really worthless for Your Majesty now, I actually raised something like you that is not as good as a beast!" Chen Qingzhi glared back at Xiao Zong angrily, "You tricked me into the city, you must have already notified the Wei army to come, right?" ”

"It's almost there." Xiao Zong surrounded Chen Qingzhi and slowly turned around, "General Chen, you are a general, how about it, do you want to join the command of this king, and in the future, wouldn't it be beautiful?" ”

"Huh. Xiao Zong, I, Chen Qingzhi, still know how to be loyal, filial and honest, is it interesting to say such meaningless words? ”

"General Chen is really iron-clad!" Xiao Zong said with a cruel smile, "When the Wei army arrives, I will first escort you to your camp and confiscate the weapons of the two thousand people, and then this king will dig a big pit on the spot and bury you all alive!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there were bursts of exclamations outside, "It's on fire!" It's on fire! Quickly put out the fire......"

At the same time, there was a shouting of killing from close to hand outside the house, Chen Qingzhi and Xiao Zong didn't know what was going on, and looked nervously in the direction of the door.

The sound of weapons clashing fell silent after a while, and the closed door of the lobby was kicked open from the outside!

It was not the guards arranged by Xiao Zong who rushed in, but Xu Jin and Hui Ze.

Hui Ze quickly rushed over and protected Chen Qingzhi behind him; Xu Jin grabbed Xiao Zong's shirt and dripped his chin with the tip of the gun, "Why do you want to kill Brother Chen?" Say! ”

Xiao Zong didn't pay attention to Xu Jin. Seeing this, Chen Qingzhi said, "I'll talk about this later, now we have to hurry out of the city." Take him with you, and take him hostage if necessary. ”

Hui Ze protected Chen Qingzhi, Xu Jin escorted Xiao Zong, and walked quickly towards the gate.

When he arrived at the door, he saw that the gate had been blocked by a group of soldiers, and the leading general shouted, "Let go of King Yuzhang!" ”

The general was tall, long-armed, well-proportioned, with eerie glint eyes and two long, thin beards hanging from thin lips.

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Do you still have time to stop us?" He gave a thumbs up and nodded behind him, "Do you see the fire behind you?" If you don't put out the fire, I'm afraid you're going to burn to ashes. ”

"Praying mantis!" Xiao Zong shouted loudly to the general, "Chen Qingzhi wants to keep his mouth alive, these two boys, cut them into pieces and feed them to the dogs!" ”

"You take care of yourself," Xu Jin turned his head to Xiao Zong and said, "If you dare to shout again, see if I will pierce two holes for you first!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Jin suddenly felt a cold light flashing in front of him, and subconsciously flicked the barrel of the gun, and a short knife that flew straight towards his face was swept to the ground.

Xiao Zong took the opportunity to knock Xu Jin into him, and ran towards his soldiers.

Xu Jin hurriedly chased after him, but the general who was called a praying mantis by Xiao Zong dodged in front of Xu Jin at a very fast speed, and two cold lights attacked from the left and right directions at the same time, Xu Jin waved his gun to block it, but he was also blocked from chasing.

The praying mantis holds a huge scythe in one hand, the blade of which is not serrated and extremely sharp. Obviously, these two sickles were not used to harvest rice.

"Praying mantis." Xu Jin snorted, "You really look like a praying mantis." ”

The praying mantis ignored Xu Jin's ridicule, and said to Xiao Zong, "Your Highness, the Wei army should be almost here, you go and prepare to greet it first, and leave it to your subordinates here." ”

"Okay, remember, try to capture Chen Qingzhi alive." After speaking, Xiao Zong left with some guards.

"Then let's start with you boy," the praying mantis stuck out his tongue and licked the blade of the scythe, "first chop off your hands and feet and make them into sticks." ”

As he spoke, the praying mantis swung two scythes and pounced towards Xu Jin.

The blade pierced the air, slashing violently.

Xu Jin blocked left and right, the praying mantis rotated its body, and the two sickles were slashed like windmills, making a "woo" whistling sound.

The praying mantis is attacking hard, and Xu Jin is also calmly looking for the other party's flaws.

Suddenly, Xu Jin's bow flashed to the side of the mantis, half-squatted down, the gun in his hand suddenly swept out, and hit the mantis's ankle accurately, and then picked it up, the mantis suddenly lost its balance, fell on its back, and the sickle in his hand also fell off, falling a few feet away.

Before he could get up, Xu Jin had already taken a step forward, and suddenly stepped on the chest of the mantis, even if he was wearing armor, this step down, the mantis's sternum was afraid that it was broken, and a mouthful of blood accompanied by his wail gushed out of his mouth.

Xu Jin looked down at his opponent, "Praying mantis, in front of me, it's just a bug." ”

As he spoke, the tip of the spear passed through the armor, flesh, bones, and internal organs, sending the mantis back to the west.

The praying mantis was cleaned up in a few clicks, and the remaining soldiers were obviously a little flustered, Xu Jin shouted at them in a loud voice, "If anyone wants to stop it, this is the end!" ”

The soldiers flinched and began to slowly retreat out the door, but the blades in their hands were still facing them.

Xu Jin turned his head to Hui Ze and said, "Hui Ze, you protect Brother Chen, I'll open the way!" ”

With that, he strode towards the door.

The soldiers did not dare to stop and had to get out of the way. Outside, they retrieved their horses and galloped towards the gates.

Chen Qingzhi's camp is located in the west of Pengcheng, and at this time, Yu Tianchou and Ma Funian are in full swing directing the soldiers to evacuate. Song Jingxiu named out twenty brave men and followed him straight towards the west gate of Pengcheng.

Tonight's moonlight is exceptionally bright, making the view quite clear. Song Jingxiu and his entourage hurried up and soon arrived outside the West City Gate.

The guards on the city wall saw men approaching and called out loudly, "Who is it?" ”

Song Jingxiu raised his head and responded in a loud voice, "We are in General Chen's camp, and we have urgent military information to report to General Chen, open the door quickly!" ”

A person who looked like a general came out and took a look, and said to Song Jingxiu, "King Yuzhang has an order, you must not open the city gate after nightfall, you said that you are in General Chen's camp, how do we know the truth or falsehood, if there is something to say, don't call here!" ”

"We have an urgent military situation! If you miss a big thing, can you afford it? ”

The general sneered, "Don't come to this set, if I open the door, I really can't afford it." Let's go, let's go! ”

Song Jingxiu was anxious, "I must see General Chen tonight, if you don't open the door, I will cut it, and I will cut the door open!" ”

"You dare!" The general scolded loudly, "Are you looking for death? ”

Song Jingxiu stopped talking, walked straight to the city gate, drew his horse chopping knife, and slashed at the city gate violently.

When the twenty men who were with him saw this, they also came over, took up their swords and spears, and cut down the gates together.

Chen Qingzhi and the three of them ran wildly towards the West City Gate, and if they encountered soldiers blocking them on the way, they would not entangle, they would just rush over. When they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw that the gate was closed, and when the guards saw them, they hurriedly surrounded them with guns.

The guards in other places should have been informed, and they all came towards the west gate, and for a while, soldiers continued to pour out from the streets and alleys everywhere.

The three of them retreated to the cave of the city gate, facing the surging enemy army, ready to fight to the death.

Song Jingxiu was through the thick city gate, and when he heard movement inside, he peeked in through the crack in the door. When he saw that it was Chen Qingzhi and them in the city gate, he shouted loudly, "Ziyun! Ziyun! ”

Chen Qingzhi heard the call, turned around and came to the door, the two of them separated the door, Song Jingxiu said excitedly, "It's great that you guys are okay, now the Wei army has come towards Pengcheng, open the city gate quickly!" ”

Chen Qingzhi turned around and shouted loudly at Xu Jin and Hui Ze, "It's Brother Song who has come to pick us up!" Quick, we must open the gates. ”

Hui Ze turned the iron rod in his hand horizontally and said to Xu Jin, "Jin, you go and help Brother Chen open the door, and I will guard it here!" ”

"Okay, be careful!"

Xu Jin turned around and walked over with Chen Qingzhi, wanting to lift the heavy latch.

Hui Ze stood alone at the entrance of the city gate, his eyes were sharp, and his expression was resolute.

The generals shouted to their soldiers, "Catch them!" Can't let them open the gates! ”

The two soldiers slowly approached Hui Ze and stabbed him with their guns raised. The iron rod in Hui Ze's hand roared up, and the tip of the gun was pushed away in an instant, and at the same time he took a step forward, and the iron rod was horizontal, and the two ends leaned against the chest and abdomen of the two soldiers, and pushed forward suddenly, and the two soldiers immediately flew out a few steps away.

Hui Ze put away his stick and said to the soldiers surrounding them, "I don't want to hurt you, and if you don't want to die, don't act rashly." ”

The soldiers looked at Hui Ze and began to show a little fear.

At this time, a general stood up and shouted, "There are only three of them, what are you afraid of?" Give it to me together! Slaughter this monk for me first! ”
