The horse's hooves whirled into the mud and rushed over.

"Kill—"

Hou Cheng was already red-eyed, raised his hand on the horse's back and poked it with a shot, and the horse thief fought twice, the horse crossed the other party, and when the horse turned around, dozens of soldiers behind him also moved at this time, sprinting in the direction of the horse thieves, and the spears advanced.

Woo....woo...

A low wolf howl suddenly sounded, and a hundred horse thieves scattered and ran in all directions. Gongsun Zhi fought with Nahou Cheng a few times, took advantage of his rotation to move the horse's head, ran back and distanced himself from the rushing gun, turned over on the war horse, inserted a knife and pulled the bow, turned around and shot back, and a soldier was hit by an arrow and fell.

Gongsun stopped pulling the horse and raising the bow, and his voice shouted: "Listen to the howl of the wolf, hunt-"

Around, everyone shouted, the horse's hooves had galloped and trampled on the soil, divided into three groups and moved quickly around this small mound, but instead surrounded the dozens of soldiers who rushed over, and in the dark night, the running figures were like intertwined torrents, forming a huge circle.

In the middle, when Hou Cheng, who turned the horse's head, found it, the encirclement had already taken shape, looking at the outline that was turning in black, his scalp was numb and tightened, and the iron gun was pointed in one direction: "Break through!" Rush over together. ”

Dozens of soldiers leaned together with spears, swords and shields to guard, and many of them were a little frightened on their faces, and when they heard the general's order, they roared and rushed out in one direction.

"Don't let them surround ......"

"Get out! Desperately—"

The surging crowd shouted to boost morale, however, in the rumbling hooves of the horses around, the hundreds of horse thieves who crossed through actually kept moving in a circle with the other party's running. Hou Cheng led a dozen cavalry to charge, trying to chisel a gap.

In the darkness, someone over there shot an arrow and directly nailed a Bingzhou cavalryman, and then the arrow was like a flood that opened the floodgates, and the air was full of swishing sounds.

Arrows flew densely from all directions, piercing into the crowd, weapons waving and clanging some of them, some nailed to the shield, most of them directly into the crowd, neck, chest, abdomen, thighs, blood splashed, the figure fell, screaming and crawling on the ground with feathered arrows, and then trampled by his companions.

"Wow-"

The leading general suddenly covered his shoulders and shouted, an arrow was nailed into his shoulder, the tail was still trembling, and the war horse under the seat neighed violently, and fell down with a bang, and several arrows were inserted into the horse's belly. Hou Cheng wanted to get up from the ground, only to find that one leg was crushed under the horse.

In the sight, the horse's hooves were still wandering around, splashing muddy water, the soldiers he brought were getting fewer and fewer, the blood gushed into the mud with the corpse, Hou Cheng neighed and broke free from under the horse's belly, but the weapon in his hand could not be found, he was lame and just stood up, a war horse collided, and he was directly knocked to the ground.

In the last remaining consciousness, I heard a voice saying, "Tie him up." ”

The horse's hooves trampled away, the scarlet blood flowed farther in the rain, and a few wolf howls were heard in the distance, as if they smelled blood,

I don't know how long it took, Hou Cheng woke up in a daze, the sky was already bright in his blurred vision, the rain had stopped, there was no smell of blood and corpses around, only a pair of wolf-like eyes staring at him.

The arrow wound on his shoulder had been bandaged, and he squinted his eyes to search around, and finally fixed on a drinking figure in front of him: "Do you know, you guys are in trouble...... Do you know who the person who killed it? ”

"Who? Emperor? Gongsun Zhi threw the sheepskin bag to Gao Sheng, and the surrounding horse thieves let out a rampant laugh.

Hou Cheng, who was choked up, stared at him and wanted to say something, but his eyes suddenly rolled, and he closed his mouth, probably thinking about something.

"Didn't you run away...... I'd like to see if you horse thieves can stop Feng Xian's Fang Tian Painting Halberd... Huh..."

There was a flash of excitement in his eyes, and he stared at the horse thieves and muttered quietly.

*******************************************

The spring rain stopped overnight, the gentle wind blew through the city, the white clouds floated in the sky like flocculents, the sun fell into the city from the clouds, and more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages and ox carts exchanged and weaved through, spreading towards the government office.

The figure who handed over the post walked into the Taishou Mansion, and there was already someone speaking inside.

"I know what you mean by coming. Miao is the parent official here, and he will protect your life, and that gang of horse thieves will be exterminated sooner or later, so don't worry, this matter Miao has already sent someone to report to Lord Shi, and there must be a response in a few days. ”

Guo Miao's tone was flat, and he tried his best to appease the county sergeants and wealthy families who came in one after another, as for the news of Hou Jie's death in the morning, he already had a case in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be shocked on his face.

"Yes, after all, it is the wife and brother of the Duke of Jianyang, and this group of horse thieves really provokes characters who can't be provoked."

“…… I just don't know who I'm going to send this time. ”

……

In the hall, the people were noisy, Guo Miao took a sip of tea, listened quietly, occasionally echoed a few words, and said his opinion, soon after, he sent the group away, returned to the government to continue the office, as for the dead people, he no longer needs to worry about the rest of the matter.

……

The light of day gradually receives, day and night change, and go to Jinyang in the south.

"My brother—"

In Ding Yuan's house, in the bedroom, Hou broke a few things, sat paralyzed and pounded the ground, crying bitterly.

“…… My brother, I killed the thief like this, and my sister shouldn't have let you go if I knew it was like this...... No amount of money can buy your life back—"

Ding Yuan stood outside the door with his hands behind his back and looked at his crying wife, his face was dark, and then he strode in and helped her up: "Hou Jie has today, it's not your fault for being a sister, look at what good things he has done in Jinyang, and he has ruined my Ding Yuan's face." ”

"But that's also my brother, husband, just beg you as a concubine, kill that gang of horse thieves, and avenge Hou Jie." When Hou said this, he thought about it, shook his head and shouted, "And Zhang Liao... If he hadn't colluded with this gang of thieves in the first place, he wouldn't have happened today, so kill him too...... Kill him..."

Smack-

The woman covered her face, the fan fell on her side, and her hair was draped and hung to the ground. Ding Yuan pointed at her: "Climb and bite indiscriminately, your brother is innocent." ”

Some angry figures walked back and forth a few steps, and finally walked out with their sleeves brushed up, and when they arrived in the front yard, they were about to call someone, but they saw that Zhang Liao's figure had already stood at the door and hugged his fists.

"Wen Yuan came just in time, I just have something to ask you, about the White Wolf Yuan Gongsun Zhi." He asked.

**********************

Coming out of the palace, Zhang Liao looked up at the warm spring day, rode on his horse and slowly walked through the streets, his eyes seemed to look over the houses and buildings, and looked to the north.

"I'm in big trouble." He sighed, and his voice was low: "Liao doesn't want to see you in a different place, but after all, you made a big mistake, and I hope Feng Xian can show mercy." ”

The horse's hooves stopped at the door of a courtyard that was not too big, Zhang Liao walked over and hesitantly held the copper ring and was about to knock it down, and a familiar voice came from the courtyard behind the door.

"Lingqi, put the stick down......"

"No... No... Yes!! Mother... Daddy is so fierce, come quickly. The immature child's voice exclaimed in surprise and seemed to be running.

Zhang Liao stood outside the door, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then pushed the door and walked in, and a small figure bumped into him.
