Chapter 2: Living and Dying Together

Late at night, the people in the county fell asleep, and suddenly the footsteps of soldiers sounded.

"Hurry up, surround me with the inn" On the dark street, hundreds of torches suddenly lit up, and a middle-aged man wearing a green official uniform and an obese body led his men to surround the inn.

In the inn, Li Ke turned over, grabbed the long sword on the table, hid under the window, and looked out.

The cry of the baby on the bed woke the woman.

'Husband, what's the matter, is it the county government that has come to arrest us?' ’

Li Ke closed the window and came to his wife's side.

'Madam, it seems that our whereabouts have been exposed, just now I saw a few guards coming outside the window with local county orders'

"What should I do, husband, we escaped for a month, but we didn't expect to be caught at the foot of the mountain." ’

Li Ke pondered in the room.

'Anti-thief Li Ke, come out quickly, the people of your Li clan who fled to Mianzhou have already caught twenty-one, you can't escape, and if you offend Lord Zhang, there is only one way to die." The county commander shouted loudly to the inn.

'Madam, wait for us to set off from the back door, you run all the way forward, go up the mountain and find Brother Ling, you will be safe, I will cut off the queen for you, if I can't come back, you must take care of our children." After Li Ke made up his mind, he solemnly addressed the woman.

'Husband, you must not be fine, I will not live if you have anything,' the woman cried as she picked up the baby.

"Don't worry, your husband and I are the captain of the patrol city, just these few shrimp soldiers and crab generals, they can't help me, go" After speaking, Li Ke and his wife ran to the back door.

The county magistrate outside the door waited for a moment, and with a wave of his hand, his subordinates rushed into the inn.

At the back door of the inn, a sword light shot out from inside the door, and a servant outside the door was instantly killed by the sword qi.

'My lord, the thief has come out the back door,' shouted a guard on horseback.

The guards drew their swords and rushed towards Li Ke and his wife with the officials.

Li jumped up angrily, and swung his sword at the three officials on the left, but the three officials couldn't block it, and kept retreating as if they were hit hard. Seeing that the two officials on the right slashed at each other with their knives, Li Ke kicked the ground and kicked sideways in the air, and the two officials vomited blood and flew away.

Facing the immediate guards, with the power of the horse's impact to stab with a sword, Li Ke just stabilized his figure, he didn't have time to make a move, so he had to block, a piercing sword sound, Li Ke was forced to retreat a few steps.

Standing firm, Li Ke stirred the sword with one move, unloaded the guard's sword, and then grabbed the horse's head, did a somersault, and kicked the guard on the horse.

"Madam, hurry up and get on the horse" The beautiful woman was helped on the horse by Li Ke with the child, Li Ke quickly got on the horse, kicked the horse's belly, and gradually moved away.

At the city gate, five guards rode on horses, and dozens of officials lined up behind them.

Li Ke rushed to the city gate, and when he saw that the city gate was blocked, he immediately stopped his horse's steps.

"Lord Duwei, I think you better put down your weapons, you are not my opponent now" A purple-robed guard rode to Li Ke's five meters and said with a smile.

"Ren Li Xiao'er, when I first took you from a small city gate guard, to the deputy commander of the city patrol, and personally taught you martial arts, that's how you treated me" Li Ke gritted his teeth and looked at Ren Li.

"My Captain Li, at this time and that time, the truth that those who know the times are Junjie, don't you understand, now it is your Li family that has lost power, Zhang Gong is in the world, anyone who does not obey Zhang Gong will die and have no place to be buried, oh, no, even if you are obedient, you can't, who let you have the surname Li" Ren Li waved his purple robe and said with an evil smile.

'Erzhang traitor, deceived the Holy Queen, destroyed my Li clan, and tried to subvert the court. Ren Li said quickly, what happened to me Li Du and Deputy Lieutenant Li Tai. ’

"What else, of course, I cut off my head and receive a reward from Duke Zhang, otherwise how can I thank Duke Zhang for passing on my flying feather swordsmanship, and the official worships the grace of the captain." ’

'Ren Li' Li Ke roared angrily. 'Have you forgotten that at the beginning, the five of us swore brothers, lived and died together, but we swore a poisonous oath, and now you treat your brothers like this, are you not afraid of retribution?'

Ren Li seemed to hear the big joke, laughed for a moment and said, "Live and die together, haha, of course I haven't forgotten, I think about it, the five of us have Li Du Li Tai, plus you and me, and one person, what is it called, oh, by the way, it's called Ling Yu, my second brother Ling, it seems that he is on the mountain behind me." What is Ling Zhizi now, it seems that he also knows that his name is not good, don't worry, after killing you, I will personally visit Second Brother Ling, so that the brothers can live and die together. Look at my flying feather swordsmanship' After Ren Li finished speaking, his face turned ruthless, he kicked the horse's back and rose into the air, and swung his sword towards Li Ke.
