Li Xiu was overjoyed when he saw this: This enemy's strength is not as good as his!

"All the soldiers obey the order, set up a formation! Gather a long snake formation! Don't entangle with the enemy!"

As soon as the soldiers with the backbone heard Li Xiu's order, they immediately moved, and got rid of their opponents one after another, lined up in a long snake formation. Well, there are fewer people, and the long snake formation has become shorter.

Li Xiu stood in front of the formation, his sword immediately swords, glaring angrily at the dozens of enemies on the opposite side who had gathered together to confront them.

"A bold thief, he dares to pretend to be a city guard and a servant, he is simply bold and reckless, and he will be arrested quickly!"

"It's a joke. You, a military general who has cultivated as a Xuan Master, still want to let more than 30 of our Xuan Masters be captured? Are you thinking too much?"

Obviously, the other party did not intend to follow Li Xiu's wishes. In fact, too, a fool will really lay down his arms and surrender because of someone else's words.

If it weren't for Li Xiu's self-declaration of identity that made them scruples, they would have rushed forward and killed Li Xiu and this group of soldiers.

"What should I do?" asked a knight dressed with triangular eyes and a hooked nose at a city guard next to him. "This is the lord who has been ordered not to be harmed, how can he fight?"

Hooknose looked at the other side, thinking that the movement here would soon alarm the rest of the world, and that a quick solution was necessary. Immediately gritted his teeth and proposed directly.

"No matter, anyway, the leader said, just don't hurt his life. It's a big deal to knock him out or seriously injure him, and the others will kill him. Hurry, so as not to have too many dreams at night. Our job is to attract attention, but we can't run away if we really attract everyone. Kill them quickly, we can retreat!"

Listening to the suggestion of the hooked nose, the triangular eyes rolled and thought of a solution.

"You said that we arrested Li Xiu, is it more able to attract the attention of the guards of the royal city? This will not hurt his life, but also complete the task!"

"Wonderful! Just do as you say!"

So, under the consultation of Triangle Eye and Eagle Hook Nose, a plan was made to kidnap Li Xiu. And communicated to others.

Li Xiu looked at the other side as if he was discussing something, and then the other side suddenly became excited.

Li Xiu didn't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that the person opposite looked at him like a wolf pack seeing its prey, and his eyes lit up!

Li Xiu was furious by the group of assassins opposite, but he had to hold on.

More than 30 Xuan Masters, fighting alone is definitely not an opponent on the other side.

In fact, if it weren't for this group of assassins who wanted to attract attention, the more than thirty soldiers around Li Mu would have been in a different place, where would they still be waiting for his support. After all, it is not a problem for one Xuan Master to fight ten yellow-level martial artists.

Of course, the soldiers who cooperated with each other were not comparable to the Assassins.

But one Xuanshi assassin is definitely more than enough to deal with five soldiers.

After all, the soldier is really a big man who can play a role.

Crowd tactics and battle formations are the magic weapons to defeat the enemy.

Fighting alone is no different from sending you to death.

"Up!"

With the triangular eyes and the hooked nose of the eagle, more than thirty Xuanshi assassins turned into pieces and pounced on Li Xiu and the others.

At the same time, there were two leaders who pounced on Li Xiu, Triangle Eye and Eagle Hook Nose, and behind them, there were four assassins whose strength was in the middle level of the Xuan Master.

Facing a Xuanshi opponent, Li Xiu panicked in his heart. He's just a master of the upper ranks. Compared to the strength of his brother and the middle rank, it is far worse.

It is enough to choke in the face of two triangular eyes and hooked noses that are also upper-rank, and he has to be careful of the sneak attack of the four middle-level Xuanshu, which he can handle. If it weren't for the other party trying to capture him alive, he would have died a long time ago!

However, the reinforcements that Li Xiu was looking forward to in his heart had not arrived for a long time.

He would never have imagined that his lieutenant had been thrown under the corner of the Gongyuan by the head of the man at this time, and the sleeping soldier had also died in his sleep.

Instead, the soldiers guarding their posts were struggling against a group of black-clad and masked assassins.

But they are also losing and retreating. If it weren't for the large number of them, they would have been killed a long time ago.

But the target of this group of black-clothed masked assassins was obviously not them, and after forcing them back, many assassins had already climbed over the wall and rushed into the Gongyuan, so no one could support Li Xiu at all. What's more, Li Xiu himself died and issued an order not to leave his post without permission.

It's a pity that it's hard to buy.

Otherwise, Li Xiu would definitely bring all the soldiers he passed by along the way to support the main gate.

It's a pity that there is no ifs in this world, only fruits.

Sure enough, Li Xiu barely coped with a few rounds before the Triangle Eye found an opportunity and shot down his weapon, and then several sharp blades landed on his neck.

Before he could open his mouth to beg for mercy, the back of his head buzzed and he was knocked unconscious.

In this way, Li Xiu easily fell into the hands of this group of assassins.

"Brothers, you've got it! The wind is tight, it's!"

As soon as the move was successful, the triangular eyes shouted loudly, beckoning their companions to evacuate, and for a while, this group of assassins threw heavy punches to kill and wound those soldiers who were fighting.

It's not that they killed these soldiers, but if everyone is killed, who will tell the reinforcements that Li Xiu was captured?

Therefore, it is necessary to keep the mouth alive.

Just a few dozen breaths after the group of assassins escaped, a team of 100 city guards arrived, saw the dead and wounded all over the ground, and learned from the survivors that Li Xiu, the second son of the Li family, had been captured.

This is a bad general who leads the team, there is no way, Zhenguo Gong, the person who almost became the generalissimo of soldiers and horses. If it weren't for his humble background and the fact that the King of Liao was a little stronger, this generalissimo would be his.

The generals who led the team really didn't dare to imagine that if Li Xiu did something wrong, he would not be cut down by Li Kuang's old horseman.

Just as the group of city guards turned to chase down Li Xiu's assassins, three figures stood on the roof of a room not far behind the main entrance of the Gongyuan and watched them leave.

"Young master, if Xiao Qingzi is not mistaken, the one who was arrested just now was Li Xiu, right?"

The relatively short figure on the roof spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his identity was revealed, it was Mu Tong's scholar Mo Qing, and next to him was naturally the young monarch Mu Tong and Zhang Cong, the commander of the forbidden army.

Mu Tong looked at this gloating little guy speechlessly, didn't he know that there was an outsider next to him?

"Ahem. This Li Bi will serve the country loyally, bravely kill the enemy but was captured, if he is really suffering, he can be regarded as a well-deserved death. ”

Although he is the commander of the forbidden army, the affairs of the Mu family and the Li family have been in trouble since the beginning of the Shangyuan Festival in the first lunar month, and for more than two months, Zhang Cong does not know the Tao here. Anyway, he, Zhang Cong, has nothing to do with the Li family. On the contrary, after nearly a month of contact, he Zhang Cong knew that this young gentleman was a fuel-efficient lamp.

Looking at Zhang Cong's words that forcibly covered up his embarrassment, Mu Tong was also speechless.

But how to say it, people give face, and they have to follow up.

"Alas, I hope the city guards can rescue Major General Li safely. ”

Slightly hypocritically blessed Li Xiu, Mu Tong asked Zhang Cong beside him seriously.

"Commander Zhang, are there any thieves who have broken in, don't disturb the candidates. ”

"This ......" Zhang Cong glanced at Mu Tong with a difficult face, and explained: "Lord Shaojun, as soon as the thief landed, he was shot and killed by the forbidden army guarding the rabbit. It's just that if you don't want to alarm the candidates, I'm afraid it won't work. As long as you are not deaf, it is absolutely impossible not to hear such a loud shouting and killing outside. ”

Mu Tong looked at the surrounding firelight and the figures fighting fiercely under the firelight, and sighed in response: "That's right, it's the official who takes it for granted." ”

"That's it, trouble Commander Zhang has worked hard tonight, the thieves outside haven't retreated yet, I'm afraid I won't be able to live in peace tonight. You have to be more reminded. This official went down to appease the candidates, and did not affect tomorrow's imperial examination. ”
