"My lord! We've been waiting for three days for someone to finally arrive! Zhao Xun, who was practicing marksmanship in the courtyard, saw Situ Liang running in happily and said with a smile on his face.

"Oh? It's finally here, but let's wait, let's go, let's gather everyone and get ready to act! Zhao Xun put down the spear, wiped a handful of sweat beads, and said with a smile.

Zhao Xun and Situ Liang came to the hall where Chengwu had summoned his subordinates, and found that everyone had arrived, and everyone's eyes were full of enthusiasm, and they seemed to be eager to fight.

"You're coming fast!" Zhao Xun said.

Li Lingfeng said with a smile: "It's not that I've been suffocated these days, the meat is right in front of me, but I just can't eat it, the brothers have long been holding back the fire, and now that the opportunity has come, of course everyone is eager to eat the meat in their mouths." ”

When the crowd heard this, they burst into laughter.

"Situ Liang, have you found out how many people there are?"

"More than fifty people, more than twenty carriages, will pass by the road fifteen miles south of us at noon, and we will make an operation there to eat them." Then Situ Liang told the news he had sent from Zhao Hai and established the destination of the attack.

A winding and not wide road crept on the ground like a yellow python, and the road that is rarely seen in normal times ushered in a burst of horses' hooves and the sound of axles. A convoy of more than 50 knights and more than 20 carriages was heading northeast.

"Steward Zhou, why is it your old man's turn to deliver things in person this time?" In the middle of the convoy, a knight said flatteringly to a middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body dressed in a high-quality silk costume.

The middle-aged man, that is, Steward Zhou, had a bitter face, as if he was very unaccustomed to riding a horse, twisted his body, frowned and said, "The master has something important that I need to inform the leader of Helan, what are you doing with this?" Damn, I knew it was so uncomfortable to ride a horse, and I should have brought a carriage with people. Ah...... It hurts me! ”

Looking at the dish on Steward Zhou's face, the knight had contempt in his eyes, but he couldn't stop smiling.

"Boom ......" A sound like a torrent came from all directions, and Steward Zhou looked around blankly, and said puzzledly: "What's going on?" Could it be that somewhere, the river is bursting? No, there aren't any big rivers around here, right? ”

The knight next to him was pale, and his lips trembled.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you stunned......" Steward Zhou found that the head of the guards around him was pale, and he was about to reprimand, but when he saw that the knights around him were like this, he also felt bad in his heart.

"Zhou ...... Steward Zhou! We've been attacked! The leader of the guards said with a little nervousness, although he forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, but the stammering and trembling voice undoubtedly showed his nervousness.

"Attacked? What was attacked? Steward Zhou didn't know why, but in an instant, his mouth grew up, and he saw that the smoke and dust around him were filled, and in the smoke and clouds, countless black-clothed knights rushed straight to him.

"Put things down and run!" The face of the leader of the guards changed, and he said sharply, he knew his task, compared to the items pulled by these carriages, it was not worth anything at all, even if they were robbed, it was not a big deal, compared to his own life, these things were too worthless.

"Run! Fast! "Although Steward Zhou has never seen this kind of formation, how can he say that he has also been a great housekeeper of the Foreign Mansion in Qi Yan Mansion for several years, and he naturally changes very quickly.

"I hope these people are just ordinary robbers, not our idea!" The head of the guard didn't look very good, and muttered to himself.

"Oh no! They're coming at us. The knight who had put down the carriage and ran away also looked ugly, for the so-called horse thieves did not rush towards the carriage they had left behind, but surrounded him.

"Defend!" The leader of the guards said with difficulty. Fifty guards gathered together and surrounded Steward Zhou in the middle.

"Boom ......" out of the eighth outpost and stayed outside Shanglin Village, and the remaining four sentry Huolin troops were all dispatched, plus a total of more than 700 people from the pro-guard team ran around Steward Zhou.

"Who are you? If you have something to discuss, as long as it doesn't hurt people, money is easy to discuss. The leader of the guards said loudly at the signal of Steward Zhou.

"Dismount and surrender! Or death! Duan Yan shouted loudly.

"Steward Zhou, what should we do?" The head of the guard was so dark that ink was about to drip out, and he asked Steward Zhou helplessly.

"Old Xu! Do you think the other side wants us to surrender? They don't look at our faint things, but chase us straight after us, why do you say that? Steward Zhou squinted his eyes at the knights circling around, and whispered to the leader of the guards beside him.

"You mean, they're coming at us?" The head of the guard looked more and more bitter, and said in frustration.

"No, to be exact, they're here for the master. I already know who they are! ”

"Who?" The leader of the guards was stunned when he heard this, and asked.

Steward Zhou said, "Take a closer look! ”

The leader of the guards didn't know why, but according to what Steward Zhou said, he carefully looked at the knights around him who were gradually slowing down, and suddenly exclaimed: "Yanzhou Mansion Huolin Army!" Zhao Xun! ”

"Yes, that's the kid's man! Maybe this kid is on the other side! Steward Zhou said with an inexplicable look, he actually knew why Zhao Xun found him, but he didn't rob the property and chase people, it was nothing more than that Zhao Xun already knew about the master's assassination of him.

Steward Zhou knew, but it didn't mean that the head of the guard also knew, the head of the guard surnamed Xu said with horror: "It's strange, why did the fierce Zhao Xun find us?" To rob money? Apparently impossible! Steward Zhou, we might as well surrender, although this Zhao Xun is fierce, but he is not indiscriminately killing innocent people, you see......"

Steward Zhou sneered: "Old Xu, I can sue you, others can surrender, but we can't, our master and this Zhao Xun have an irresolvable contradiction." If you surrender today, your family will be in trouble, and you should know what I mean. If you die in battle, our family, the lord will definitely not treat you badly, you can think about it yourself. ”

The face of the leader of the guards surnamed Xu changed several times, although he didn't understand why Steward Zhou would rather fight to the death with Zhao Xun than surrender far away, but for the sake of his family, he had no choice.

"Steward Zhou, I obey your orders."

"Good! Let's go out and march to the north, where there are our men! Steward Zhou remembered that there was a village of his own more than ten miles away on the north side, and there were hundreds of people in it.

"Trapped beasts are still fighting! Kill! Leave the one who is the leader. Zhao Xun looked at the other party's watch and said coldly.

"Your Excellency has an order, kill!"

Thousands of horses galloped, hundreds of people and more than 50 people fought, the result was naturally self-evident, only one charge, more than 50 people, leaving only three wounded and fallen to the ground, this is still the Huolin Army deliberately left alive.

"Bring it here!"

"Zhao Xun! My lord won't let you go! If you dare to attack us openly, you will be rewarded in the future! Steward Zhou, who was carried by the soldier, shouted frantically.

"Aoyama, let him be quiet!" Zhao Xun said coldly.

Zhao Qingshan was stunned when he heard this, then clenched his fists, walked quickly to Steward Zhou's side, and punched him in the abdomen a few times.

"Hmm......" Steward Zhou's face turned pale, tears of pain flowed out, like a frog, his mouth opened weakly.

"Situ Liang, you go and ask those two people to see if they know how to contact Shiping Village?"

"You can recognize me, it seems that your position in the Qi Mansion is not low, and you think you also know about the matter between me and Qi Yan. Then let me ask you, you should be going to deliver something to Shiping Village. ”

"You...... How do you know! Steward Zhou's face changed sharply, and he said in disbelief.

Zhao Xun sneered: "How do I know, I not only know your relationship with Shiping Village, but also know your secrets with other places. ”

"What?" Steward Zhou's mouth grew bigger again, and his eyes were about to fall out, like a suffocating fish.

"I've already won three, and now I'm going to take the fourth, I think, with your cleverness, you don't know the meaning of this, do you really think that if you die, Qi Yan will help you take revenge? I think it's still a question whether the current Qi Yan can get out of Yanzhou Mansion safely. Assassinate me? There is a price to pay, want to fish in the water? Actually, I want to too! ”

"Now you should tell me how to enter Shiping Village, don't let me lose patience, even if I can't take it, I will go back to Yanzhou Mansion and let the government army dispatch, with my relationship with the soldiers and horses Master Su, and Lord Sima who carried the black pot for your lord, I must be very interested in this, not to mention that there is so much food. What do you think? Have you thought it through? ”

"Don't speak? It seems that you have a hard time deciding, so let me help you. Qingshan, chopped one of his fingers, chopped one heel for each half pillar of incense, and changed his toes after the fingers were finished. ”

"Yes, sir, look at me!" Zhao Qingshan answered, pulled out his waist knife, pulled Steward Zhou's right hand, and prepared to chop down.

"Wait!" Steward Zhou's face was covered with beads of sweat, and he said hurriedly: "I said, I said it!" ”

"Coward! Why do you say now, I haven't chopped off a finger yet? Zhao Qingshan said with a depressed face, and when Steward Zhou heard this, he scolded in his heart: "Damn, isn't there a normal person around Zhao Xun?" That's chopping fingers, not turnips. ”

"Wouldn't it have been like this sooner? Why wait until it hurts? Zhao Xun said with a smile.

Steward Zhou looked at the smile on Zhao Xun's face, and wanted to punch him, but he knew that he didn't dare, and he didn't have the ability.

"I'll take my master, that is, Qi Yan's warrant! Only when a warrant is passed will people enter. ”

"What about the warrant?"

"I was worried about being surrounded by you before...... That one...... I tore the warrant and swallowed it. Steward Zhou looked at Zhao Xun's eyes that wanted to eat people, and his voice became deeper and lower.

"I'm cǎo!" When Zhao Xun heard this, he spit out such a word for a while. I worked hard for a long time, but I didn't get anything.

"My lord, those two people don't know at all!" Situ Liang also reported the results of his inquiry. However, seeing Zhao Xun's ugly face, he knew that this place was not as good as he expected.

"Go back!"
