Jiang Wu was like a long arrow off the string, flying towards the assassin in the distance.

The assassin was undaunted, he stood in the crowd, coldly looking at Jiang Wu who was screaming like crazy, calm and relaxed. He slowly and methodically tugged the delicate short crossbow in his arms and pulled out the long sword on his back with his backhand.

Suddenly, in the chaotic crowd, a three-foot iron halberd rose up in the air, stabbing straight at Jiang Wu who was running wildly. Jiang Wu roared, stiffly froze his body, chopped it with a knife, "when ......" sounded, the sound of gold and iron resonating stirred, Jiang Wu shook his mouth, and took three steps back.

Holding the halberd was a short-bearded man with a mediocre appearance and a murderous aura. Jiang Wu's martial arts are outstanding, he rarely encounters opponents, he is very self-assured, today he was suddenly smashed with a halberd in his hand, three steps back, the anger in his heart can be imagined, he roared tiger, raised his knife and attacked again, "kill ......"

At the moment when Li Hong fell into Zhao Yun's arms, more than a dozen gray-clothed men suddenly rushed out of the crowd on both sides of the street, one by one wearing linen short robes, each raising a long sword and pounced on the iron knights of the southern army. The guards were caught off guard, and most of them were assassinated in the blink of an eye, and in the screaming and killing, more than a dozen survivors crawled and quickly leaned towards Wei Duan, who was fighting.

Blood splattered on the snow on both sides of the road, and it looked shocking.

The trumpet blew violently, and the ten cavalry warriors rushed towards Li Hong at the fastest speed, and they quickly assembled and surrounded Li Hong and Zhao Yun, forming a dense barrel formation.

The streets were in turmoil, everyone rushed to the wolves, and the cries of panic filled the sky.

"Your Excellency...... Adult......" Zhao Yun hugged Li Hong and shouted loudly, his voice changed due to excessive worry and fear.

"I'm fine...... Li Hong sat up with difficulty and shouted angrily, "Zilong, Ling Ming, you all kill me, kill these guys......"

When the people around heard Li Hong's voice, their hearts were settled, and their anger suddenly erupted irrepressibly, "Kill, kill the past......"

Zhao Yun and Pang De were like two hungry and red-eyed tigers, roaring, leading the cavalry warriors, and like crazy, they met the dozen gray-clothed men who came to kill.

Li Wei got up from the ground in embarrassment, looked at Li Hong who was grinning and shouted, "My lord, how are you?" ”

Li Hong had already untied the armor on his body. The arrowhead of the crossbow almost pierced the heavy armor, and the sharp arrow was stained with blood. Li Hong patted the armor and smiled reluctantly: "Thanks to it." What the old man gave me was a pair of heavy armor, dozens of pounds of iron guys, without it, I would have died today. He stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction where the crossbow arrow came from and said, "The enemy should stand a little farther away, otherwise, even the heavy armor will not be able to stop this sharp arrow......

Li Hong suddenly saw the assassin, and the assassin saw him. The Assassin let out a roar of surprise, sped up, and flew towards him.

Li Hong jumped up and stood firmly in the middle of the street, he sneered, threw the heavy armor to the ground casually, pulled out the war knife in his right hand, and held the black axe in his left hand. Li Hong's wound was still bleeding, and the blood had stained the entire placket red.

Pound's sword roared, slashing and killing one person head-on, and the cavalry warriors who followed him were all the leaders of the Black Panther's righteous followers in the past, all of them were superb and brave and unstoppable, they roared, like a hurricane, "......boom" and pounced, Zhao Yun and Arc Ding then killed, and the camera supported.

This group of gray-clothed men had strong martial arts, and Wei Duan's men were almost killed by them in just a few breaths. Wei Duan himself was also stabbed in the thigh by an enemy sword, and his body lost balance under the great pain, and he could only watch as two long swords shot one after another. At this moment, Zhao Yun arrived, he roared, jumped up, shook the spear and shot straight away, the spear flower was like a colorful fallen leaf, dense and wild, and the two assassins were all under the tip of the spear. The two assassins were shocked and returned to block with their swords. Wei Duan fell to the ground on his back, Zhao Yun fell from the sky, and the big gun killed one assassin with the momentum of burning the plain, and the other did not retreat but advanced, swinging his sword and striking hard. Zhao Yun shouted violently, sealed the frame with a horizontal gun, and at the same time formed a fist with his left hand and struck out with all his might. The sword and gun intertwined, making a crisp sound, and then Zhao Yun smashed the man's chest with a fierce punch, only to hear the sound of "...... collapse", and the assassin flew upside down in the air, with a terrible scream, with a tent of blood, and fell to the snow on the side of the road.

Jiang Wu attacked thirteen knives in one breath, the halberd man did not change his face, and calmly coped with it, at this time, the abandonment of Shen roared, the war knife split head-on, the two of them attacked back and forth, brave, the halberd man was suddenly in a hurry, and before he could resist three or two moves, he was slashed in the back by Abandoning Shen's knife, and the man's roar was not over, and he was chopped off by Jiang Wu with a knife.

"How is the adult......" Jiang Wu wiped the blood from his face and shouted loudly.

"Your Excellency is killing people...... "Your Excellency is smiling, smiling as he kicked the man's head away, pointing at the crowd fighting in the street, "Your Excellency is angry." ”

Li Hong opened his mouth and let out an earth-shattering howl, he was like a wounded wild wolf that was completely stimulated to his ferocious nature, he dragged the knife in his right hand, and ran at high speed on the muddy snow, with a momentum like a rainbow.

The oncoming assassin suddenly rose into the air, and the long sword in his hand turned into a bolt of light, like a thunderbolt in the nine heavens, with a piercing roar, and hit the air with amazing power.

"Kill ......" Li Hong roared wildly, did not evade it, picked up the war knife in his hand, and chopped it down with a thunderous force.

The assassin was shocked, he did not think that the person he wanted to assassinate was really a madman, this madman wanted to kill himself to avenge that arrow, he even wanted his life, and the madman wanted to exchange his life for his life. The assassin hesitated, and his momentum diminished. Both sides of this matter are ready to dodge, and they have no choice but to send it.

The small axe in Li Hong's hand suddenly struck, like a flash of lightning, straight into the assassin's chest. The assassin opened his mouth and let out a miserable scream, his body froze, and he was suddenly cut in two by Li Hong with a sword.

"Kill ......" Li Hong raised his sword and roared.

There are no more living Assassins. Li Hong and his men were so strong that in a short period of time, seventeen Assassins were killed by them, and none of them were injured, except for a slight arrow wound to Li Hong's chest.

Li Hong pulled off his helmet from his head, smashed it into the snow, and shouted angrily: "Search for me, see who it is......"

The seventeen assassins, although they were all dressed as Han Chinese, were still distinguished by Qi Shen and others. A few of them are Xianbei and Karasuma people, because when they take off their hats, their hair is in full view. and Li Hong, Jiang Wu against the two masters, but they are from Buyeo country.

"Surely you ......?" Li Hong pointed to the corpse on the ground and asked a cavalry warrior. This warrior was a Karasuma man, an Karasuma warrior from Hakusan, and he was very sure that the two assassins were from Buyeo country.

"I'm sure." The soldier said, "Look at the clothes they wear, only Buyeo people wear this kind of clothes. ”

Li Hong remembered the wind and snow. He remembered that Fengxue had told him that she was following Mr. Changfeng to learn swords in Buyeo Kingdom. After the wind and snow arrived in Buyeo country, he lived in Mr. Changfeng's house.

"In Buyeo Country, there was a top assassin named Chonu'er, who used to practice martial arts with Mr. Changfeng, the famous man of Buyeo Kingdom. The disciples of the ugly slave liked to do this kind of assassin work. In my opinion, these two people may be the subordinates of the ugly slave. ”

Zhao Yun walked over with the head of the halberd-wielding man, he pointed to the bloody head, and asked, "Do you remember this person?" ”

Li Hong shook his head and asked in surprise: "What, Zilong, do you still know the people of Buyeo?" ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and whispered, "He is the attendant of Lord Zhang Chunzhang, the Minister of Zhongshan. ”

Li Hong glanced at Zhao Yun in surprise, leaned over and took a closer look at the man's face, shook his head and said, "I can't remember." ”

"When we were stationed in Lunu City, Zhongshan Kingdom, you and Master Zhang often met, and I and his attendants were chatting outside the house, and this person was there, but he never spoke. Later, when I asked others, I learned that he was from Buyeo and could not speak Chinese, so I was very impressed with him. Zhao Yun said.

Li Hong nodded, thoughtful.

The soldiers of the Northern Army patrolling the city hurried to hear the news, and they quickly evacuated the crowd of onlookers at the scene and began to deal with the corpses and bloodstains at the scene.

Li Hong, escorted by the soldiers of the Southern Army and the Black Panther Followers, returned to Zhangyuetai.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

After Zongzheng Liu Yu left the General's Mansion, he went directly to Zhangyuetai. Seeing that Li Hong was safe and sound, he let out a long breath.

"I heard that the emperor is coming?"

Li Hong nodded and said with a smile: "The emperor is here, everyone has to keep kowtowing, have to abide by many rules, and have to pick up and drop, and they are tired to death." ”

Liu Yu patted him lightly on the head and said with a smile: "The emperor's grace is mighty, you kid is not grateful, but you say something strange, beware of me writing to impeach you." ”

"Adults are merciful, and their men are merciful." Li Hong arched his hand and smiled, "Do you remember Zhang Chun, the prime minister of Zhongshan?" ”

"Yes." Liu Yu said, "What are you asking him for?" ”

"Master Zhang is still in prison?"

"I was pardoned by His Majesty last July." Liu Yu thought for a moment and said, "At that time, Zhang Rang wrote to His Majesty to intercede for Zhang Chun, and counted his merits, and His Majesty specially discussed this matter with me in the Shang study. I remember that Lu Zhi and Lu Shangshu and I both persuaded His Majesty to restore Zhang Chun's official position, but His Majesty did not agree, and only exempted him from responsibility and drove him back to his hometown in Yuyang. ”

"What are you asking for?" Liu Yu asked again.

"One of today's assassins is his former attendant, or a native of Buyeo, so I remembered him and asked by the way." Li Hong said, "When I was in Zhongshan Kingdom, Master Zhang treated me like a child and taught me many things, and I am very grateful to him. ”

"This person is very talented, and his reputation in the north is also good, but it's a pity that ......," Liu Yu sighed, "There are people in my Han country who can't use it, how can the country not decline." ”

The eighth day of the first month.

Today is the day of the grain, if the weather is sunny on this day, it means that this year's rice harvest is abundant, and if the weather is cloudy, the year is unlucky. The people take the eighth day of the first month as the day of the lower realm of the stars, make small lamps and sacrifice them, which is called Shunxing, also known as "sacrificing stars" and "receiving stars".

After listening to the detailed report of Sima He Hao of the General's Mansion, the general He Jin shook his head in disbelief.

"Li Hong and his subordinates are so powerful? Are you hiring a master? ”

He Hao smiled bitterly: "I already overestimate Li Hong's strength, I didn't expect ......" He sighed in frustration, and then said, "Boshan is a well-known master among assassins, and he was actually chopped to death by Li Hong, this leopard is too fierce. ”

He Jin pondered for a long time and said: "If this person doesn't die, whether it is in Luoyang or Jizhou, it will be a big trouble, if he makes things fall short because of his existence, we ......"

"I'll figure it out again." He Hao said.

"When will Mr. Zijiang arrive in Luoyang?" He Jin asked, "Things are a little troublesome now, yesterday the traitorous eunuchs bewitched the emperor and persuaded him to bring the eldest prince to Jizhou together, if Your Majesty listens to the slanderous rumors of the traitor, we will ......."

He Jin looked at He Hao with a serious expression, and said solemnly: "You better send someone to pick it up." ”

"I have already sent someone, and it is estimated that Mr. Zijiang will be able to rush to Luoyang in the next two days."

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Cao Cao heard that Huqiang Zhonglang had stabbed Li Hong on Yongping Street, and he applauded excitedly.

Cao Song looked at his son strangely and asked, "What's so good about this?" Li Zhonglang was assassinated, it must have been done by the general, he wanted to cut off His Majesty's right-hand man and weaken His Majesty's strength. Your Majesty is vulnerable, and we are not far from death. Good? What's so good? ”

"Of course. We have never known Li Hong's true thoughts, but the general sent someone to kill him, which is equivalent to cutting off Li Hong's other thoughts. Now, he had no other way but to follow closely behind the Son of Heaven. In this way, he and we have the same purpose. ”

"For what purpose?" Cao Song asked, "In addition to saving our lives, can we still eradicate the general?" ”

"Of course not, who has the ability to do this now?" Cao Cao said with a smile, "If we want to save our lives, we must protect the Son of Heaven, without Your Majesty, there will be no Zhongguan, and Li Hong is the same." To save the Son of Heaven, the best way is, of course, for us to join forces against the generals. ”

"Teaming up?" Cao Song asked suspiciously, "Will he agree?" You don't know him yet, do you? ”

Cao Cao smiled: "We will meet soon." ”

Cao Cao pulled Yuan Shao, and the two of them ran to Zhangyuetai to visit Li Hong. Cao Cao and Li Hong hit it off at first sight and had a good conversation.

Li Hong received him warmly, and everyone got drunk and rested.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The ninth day of the first month.

Li Hong was summoned to the palace by the Son of Heaven.

"When will the Black Panther Yi arrive in Luoyang?" The Son of Heaven asked.

Li Hong thought for a moment and said, "The fifteenth day of the first month, the sixteenth day of the first month at the latest." ”

On the seventh day of the first month, the son went to Zhangyuetai to visit Li Hong, feeling that it was too dangerous for Li Hong to stay in Luoyang, and planned to send him to Jizhou in advance to arrange his journey back to his hometown and explore the customs and customs of the people of Jizhou, so as to make preliminary preparations for his return to his hometown to worship his ancestors. In order to test Li Hong's loyalty to him, the Son of Heaven frequently issued orders urging Li Hong to return to Beijing, and he was not allowed to bring too many people. Now Li Hong's loyalty has been tried out for him, but Li Hong almost killed someone. If Li Hong went to Jizhou with his existing manpower, there was a chance that he would be killed in the wilderness before he crossed the Yellow River, so the Son of Heaven ordered Li Hong to immediately send people to Xiliang with a fast ride of 800 miles, and requisitioned the Black Panther Yi to come to Beijing and accompany Li Hong to Jizhou.

Hearing Li Hong's affirmative reply, the Son of Heaven said with satisfaction: "Okay, as soon as the Black Panther arrives in Luoyang, you will go to Jizhou." In addition, the cavalry of the Northern Army under the command of Yuan Shu, the captain of Changshui, is also under your control and goes to Jizhou with you. ”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The tenth day of the first month.

On this day, all stone tools such as grinding and grinding can not be moved, and even sacrifices are set up to enjoy the stones, for fear of hurting the crops, also known as "stone does not move" or "ten do not move".

Mr. Xu Shao, who is famous all over the world, came to Beijing, and Luoyang was a sensation.
