The person who suddenly arrived under the city of Dongpingling was naturally Tai Shici.

Kong Rong introduced Tai Shici to Tian Kai, invited him into the county temple, and arranged a banquet to entertain him.

During the banquet, Kong Rong couldn't help but ask why Tai Shici was here. Tai Shi Ci finished a glass of wine, and then took out a letter from his arms, asked him to forward it to Kong Rong, and said: "After reading the above, I believe it will not be difficult for Master Kong to understand. Kong Rong bowed slightly, opened the letter, and began to read. Tian Kai next to him didn't know what dumb riddles the two of them were playing, since Tai Shici didn't speak for a while, he had to look at Kong Rong, hoping to read some information from his face.

Kong Rong finished reading the letter, took a long breath, and when he saw Tian Kai looking at him with inquiring eyes, he smiled, and then let Tian Kai read the letter. Tian Kai read the whole story, and suddenly realized, just glanced at Tai Shi Ci, and arched his hand and said, "This time I have to bother Tai Shi Ziyi." Tai Shici shook his head and said: "The letter said that if you want to take down Wenchou and relieve the siege of Dongpingling today, you need to do it according to the above, and you have to bother the two adults to help." ”

Kong Rong nodded his head. Tian Kai hurriedly said: "Ziyi, where is this, you came all the way to help us, we are too late to be grateful, how can there be any reason not to cooperate?" Feel relieved! At that moment, he didn't say anything, called a person, explained a few words, and the person listened to Tian Kai's words, and went down. At this time, Tai Shici glanced at the letter in Tian Kai's hand and said with a smile: "Can you ask Lord Tian to look at the words on the back of the letter?" ”

This letter was written on a cotton silk, and Tian Kai only paid attention to the words on the front in his hand, but did not pay attention to the content on the back. When he heard Tai Shici's reminder, he immediately turned the cotton silk on his back, only to see that there were still a few words on it, and wrote: "After reading, you can burn it!" Tian Kai also immediately understood, and immediately asked someone to bring over a copper oil lamp, and burned the cotton silk into fly ash in front of Tai Shici. Tai Shi Ci nodded and continued to enjoy the food and wine in front of the case.

The next day, Wen Chou outside the city had already prepared everything, just waiting to storm Dongpingling. He first put the recruits sent by Yuan Tan in front to be cannon fodder on the road, while his elites were all left behind. He believes that after so many days of preparation, this time, he must take Dongping Mausoleum in one fell swoop.

Looking up at the tall city of Dongpingling, he exhaled a sigh of relief. With a wave of his hand, the drum sounded, and thousands of men and horses slowly advanced towards the city of Dongpingling. When he was not far from Dongpingling, according to custom, he did not rush to attack the city, but waited outside the city for a while, let people come forward to scold the battle, if the other party did not go out of the city to face the battle, he would order the men and horses to officially storm the Dongpingling. After waiting for a while, there was still no movement in the city, and Wen Chou on horseback was already impatient, he tightened the spear in his hand: "Cowards who dare not open the city to fight!" ”

Since the enemy did not dare to fight, then he could only prepare for a strong attack according to the prior arrangement.

The drum rumbled, and the command flag was in the herald's hand, about to be waved. The soldiers all held their heads high, raised their shields, and clenched their weapons. As for the soldiers who carried ladders, wells, ramming vehicles, etc., they were also prepared, just waiting for the moment when the command flag was waved down to launch the final attack. The autumn wind is blowing, and the sun above the head is exceptionally strong, it is an autumn tiger, which makes people feel hot and uncomfortable. Beads of sweat ran down their cheeks, but they didn't have free hands to wipe them, so they could only let the slightest wind blow in and dry them.

"Attack!"

Wen Chou picked up his spear, tore open his throat, and was about to roar. However, before his order was issued, and the order flag was about to be waved down, Dongpingling suddenly moved. First, the defenders of the city moved, and the archers were added, and then the drawbridge in front of the city gate made a babbling sound, like a duck singing with his rough throat torn apart.

"The thieves are going to war!"

Sure enough, at the moment when the drawbridge was pulled, the city gate slowly opened.

Seeing this, Wen Chou snorted, tightened the spear in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. If you attack hard, even if you take the city, it will be a heavy loss. And now, since the enemy has engaged in the battle of Kaesong, he just did as he wanted. Wen Chou, pull forward immediately, let the troops preparing to attack the city retreat a little, and make way out.

With a bang, the heavy drawbridge landed on the opposite side of the moat, smashing up a cloud of dust on the dry ground opposite. The dust had not completely dispersed, and Tai Shici, who had been waiting at the gate of the city, pulled the reins of his horse and jumped over. Behind him, Tian Kai and Kong Rong followed out with heavy troops, swinging the soldiers and horses away, forming a formation and making a defensive posture.

As soon as Tai Shici came out, it immediately caused quite a stir.

"General, this is it! Yesterday, it was this guy who shot three of our three people with beaded arrows, and under the pursuit of dozens of our people, they successfully escaped into the thief city! ”

Regarding this matter, Wen Chou actually received a report from his subordinates yesterday, but he didn't care about it at the time. After all, he was ready to attack the city the next day, even if the thieves came to reinforce him, there was no need to worry, not to mention that there was only one thief, what threat could he play? Wen Chou didn't pay attention to it at the time, but even if he saw it today, he just scoffed. He had already stepped forward at this time, looking up and down and glancing at Tai Shici. I saw Tai Shi Ci holding an iron spear in his hand, carrying a pair of mixed iron steel whips, a bow hanging next to the saddle, an arrow pot next to his waist, a feather arrow inserted in the quiver, and a tall horse under his crotch. He is quite proud, clean and upright, but he looks like he is good. Of course, no matter how majestic he looks, he is just a dead man in Wen Chou's eyes.

As long as he has a gun in his hand, no matter how many times he comes, what is the use of just dying? He smiled heavily: "There are a lot of weapons around this guy, I don't know how to use them?" "Not without a sneer. When the people next to him heard this, they also laughed with interest.

Tai Shici had also taken the lead at this time, stood in front of the army, pulled the reins of the horse, and stopped the horse. His eyes swept over the Wenchou army, and then he raised his voice and said: "I have heard that Hebei Wenchou, the three armies of Yongguan, I want to see it all my life, but I can't, I heard that the general is under this city today, why don't you come out to see it, why can't you hide and speak?" Wen Chou snorted heavily, immediately clamped the horse under his crotch, left Daxu, and shouted: "Huangkou Xiaoer, what do you know, your Wen Chou's grandfather is here, you can't see without long eyes, who are you to blame?" ”

Tai Shici had already thought of Wen Chou under Da Xu, but seeing that he was still behind the battle, he deliberately beat him up and provoked him to come out. At this time, seeing him hit the horse, he didn't say a word, he was stunned at him, shook his head and said: "It's also ugly with three heads and six arms, it turns out that he is just an ordinary man, with a belly full of fat intestines." I had come from afar to ask for advice, but today it seems that there is no need for that. Tai Shi Ci said, immediately pulled the reins of the horse, and turned around to leave.

"Slow down!"

Tai Shici's words were really harsh, and he was so angry that he yelled, and he chased after him. The sound of horses' hooves smashed up, and the dust splashed, as if the earth was shaking the mountains. They weren't far away, and their horses were fast and there in the blink of an eye. Before the horse arrived, the spear in Wen Chou's hand had already been raised and smashed towards Tai Shici. Tai Shi Ci pulled the horse and faked away, and the iron gun that was originally dragged on the ground in his hand suddenly moved at the moment when Wen Chou's spear was handed over, and the gun swept out, directly blocking the opponent's shot. At the same time, others urged his crotch to get off the horse and flashed to the side, avoiding the collision of Wen Chou.

The two of them exchanged a shot in a hurry, and neither of them hurt anyone, but each of them had a small shock in their hearts.

Tai Shici's eyes swept to the hand holding the gun, and found that his arm trembled slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "This guy's strength is really not small, and it has the power of ten thousand jun to smash it over, if I hesitate a little, I am afraid that I will be smashed off the horse by him at this moment!" At the same time, Wen Chou was secretly shocked in his heart: "Although this guy's strength is a little worse than me, his reaction speed is extremely fast, and it is worth letting me do it!" Thinking so, he turned his horse's head, held his spear again, and swung his spear to strike.

Tai Shi Ci didn't dare to slack off for a moment, pulled the horse, turned the horse's head, held the iron spear, and went straight to him in the same way. Wielding the iron spear, the two of them fought head-on again. For a while, I saw the horses rushing against each other, the spears intersecting, and making a crackling sound, like a bell, so that the people on both sides did not dare to approach easily. For a while, the dust rolled up by the two horses rose to the sky, dancing and enduring. After the fight, I saw the shadow of the gun, and the sound of snorting, which made people dare not gasp for breath.

In the blink of an eye, twenty rounds have passed.

I remember that when he was under the city of Taixian, Wen Chou killed Tian Kai's generals, which never exceeded ten rounds, even if Zong Bao was killed by Kong Rong's department in the end, it was only a dozen rounds, and he was defeated. Therefore, now that Tai Shi Ci can fight with the other party for twenty rounds, he has already defeated Tian Kai and Kong Rong's subordinate generals, which also makes Tian Kai and others surprised and overjoyed. On Wen Chou's side, their soldiers thought that their general Wen Chou should come out of the water and kill the thief general on the battlefield, so they could take advantage of Yu Wei to directly fight against the opponent and take Dongpingling's in one go. It's just that they saw that twenty rounds had passed, and they still didn't see each other's defeat, and their hearts were also pinched. Of course, they have always believed in Wen Chou's Wu Yong, thinking that Wen Chou is the champion of the three armies, invincible, and it is a matter of time before they kill the other party, so they are not too worried.

Tian Kai didn't know what the other party thought, but Tian Kai was surprised when he saw that Tai Shici had passed twenty rounds and had fought with the other party for ten rounds, and there was still no sign of defeat. He turned his face sideways, looked at Kong Rong, and said, "This person is really good, it seems that whether my siege of Dongpingling can be solved depends on him." It's just that I can't figure it out a little, since he helped Master Kong at the beginning, why didn't you take the opportunity to recruit him and take him for your own use? ”

Kong Rong brushed his beard and said: "The reason why Taishi Ziyi saved me was because I had taken care of his mother in the past, and his mother heard that I was trapped in Duchang, and in order to repay the kindness of the past, I wanted him to save me." Since he saved me Duchang, and I no longer owe each other, if I rashly leave him, what will others say? In fact, he didn't say anything before, before that, he thought that as long as he managed Beihai with his heart, he didn't ask about everything, and everything would be fine. He has no ambition to dominate, so naturally he has no strong idea of recruiting good generals or anything. What's more, although he knew that Taishi Ci was brave, but people were here to repay his kindness, and kindness was repaid, so he couldn't lick his face and let him stay, he couldn't open this mouth.

When Tian Kai heard him, he could only shake his head and said, "It's such a pity." ”

"Peng!"

Just when the two of them were chatting engagedly, they didn't want to suddenly change on the field. On the field, Wen Chou was first angered by Tai Shici's words, and then because he saw that forty rounds had passed and he still couldn't repel the opponent, he was anxious. In this hurry, he didn't care about anything, and used all his strength to smash the gun like a wheel, like a wild wave. Knowing that he is better than the other party in strength, he simply plays tricks and fights hard with the other party. Tai Shi Ci didn't expect him to suddenly attack, although he carefully responded to his fierce attack for a moment, but the opponent's strength was too heavy, and the iron gun in his hand was accidentally caught by him, and he flew away directly, and threw it off the field, and his hand was suddenly empty.

"Oh!" No matter which side saw it, they all exclaimed.

On the side of Wen Chou, because of Wen Chou's might, exclamations turned into cheers. As for Tian Kai's side, after exclaiming, he immediately wiped his sweat for Tai Shici. At this moment, the weapon in his hand suddenly flew out of his hand, and he couldn't fight the other party with his bare hands, right? How good is that? Fortunately, Tai Shici reacted quickly, and at the moment when the gun flew away, in the face of the opponent's next shot, he didn't block it, and he couldn't resist it, so he simply dragged the horse and looked to the side to go, and he could avoid the opponent's blow.

Wen Chou couldn't hit it with a blow, of course he wouldn't let go of this great opportunity, and hurriedly waved another shot. I thought that this shot would be too Shi Ci to dodge, and there was no way to avoid it. However, Tai Shici did not dodge, nor did he dodge, but directly reflexively met the shot in his hand. Of course, it was a pair of mixed iron steel whips that caught up with this shot. Just after he successfully escaped Wen Chou's blow, he pulled out the pair of steel whips from his back with his backhand with lightning speed, and smashed them out.

Rumble! The whip walked away like a dragon and snake, and the two hands crossed at the same time, looking at the gun in Wen Chou's hand, he immediately smashed a spark.

With this sudden blow, the double whip slammed into a gun in Wen Chou's hand, and immediately a strong force hit the tiger's mouth where Wen Chou held the gun. Rao is Wen Chou boasts of his strength, and at the moment he was hit by this huge force, if he was electrocuted, he almost lost the spear in his hand. Although the gun was in his hand in the end, because the opponent's strength was too strong, there was a huge shock with the arm holding the gun.

Buzzing, the barrel of the gun seemed to be unable to withstand the force of such a cross-bombardment, and let out a tremble.

"Boom!" On the sideline of Wen Chou, all the generals opened their mouths wide, not believing that their general Wen Chou actually had such an embarrassment.

This is the first time Wen Chou has suffered a loss, his face immediately darkened, and he was furious in his heart, and he smashed it with a gun again and again, not giving Tai Shici a chance to fight back. Tai Shi Ci was also calm, and was bombarded by the other party, knowing that he had no chance to make a move, so he had to take it step by step, and actually survived another twenty rounds. It's just that although he uses a weapon with both hands at the same time, the weapon is not long enough, and in the face of the spear, it is already short; In addition, he was on horseback at the moment, and he really couldn't give full play to the advantage of the double whip, and he knew that it was no fun to fight any longer, so he thought that it was time to show weakness to the enemy.

Thinking like this, he deliberately sold a flaw, withdrew the whip, and let the ugly spear in.

Wen Chou has been looking for such an opportunity for such a flaw for a long time, and when he sees the enemy's door open, he doesn't care if the enemy does it on purpose or not, he simply shoots it. Burst! A shot directly hit Tai Shici's chest, and the blood shot out like an arrow. Tai Shici's injury, Tian Kai and the others saw behind him that they were all sweating, and they were almost about to rush out. When Kong Rong saw it, he immediately stopped Tian Kai, shook his head at him, and said: "Taishi Ziyi has always been agile, he could have dodged the shot just now, but he didn't dodge, I think he was ready to make a move, and we must not be reckless." ”

Tian Kai gritted his teeth and sighed: "For my Dongpingling, let Ziyi suffer this blow for no reason, even if this plan is completed, my heart will not be at ease!" ”

Although the shot Tai Shici received was in the chest, fortunately, Wen Chou's shot was a little off, so it didn't hit the vital point, at most it was just a little more blood. Wen Chou was shot at once, withdrew the gun and returned, in ecstasy, and wanted to swing the gun again. However, Tai Shici immediately pulled Ma Wang to the side, and shouted: "Wen Chou, you really have brute strength, but if you want my life, I'm afraid you will have to wait for the next life!" Lao Tzu won't play with you, so I'll go, and the puppet won't come to chase after you! ”

turned around and hit two whips in a row, forcing Wen Chou back slightly, pulling the horse and not returning to the battle, looking at the right side of the city. Wen Chou was scolded by him as a horseman, and he was already angry in his heart, plus such a powerful character is injured now, if he doesn't take advantage of his illness to kill him, he will be a big enemy after recovering from his injury in the future, so he didn't think much about it, and immediately pulled the horse and chased after Tai Shici: "Where is the thief, eat my Wen Chou shot!" "Boom, the two of them ran one after the other, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight and disappeared from the battlefield.

On the battlefield, Wen Chou's side was stunned, the main generals were gone, and he still fought a melon baby? On Tian Kai's side, Tian Kai glanced at Kong Rong, Kong Rong's eyes lit up, and he was silent, obviously very satisfied. The thief is hooked, and he is not afraid of not being caught.

Wen Chou's mind was originally simple, he only wanted Tai Shici's life, and when he caught up with him and killed him, where would he think more. Tai Shici, who was running in front, endured the wound in his chest, and still kept leading Wen Chou to the destination, and was afraid that Wen Chou would repent or something halfway, so he scolded while running, looking impatient. In this way, Wen Chou was even more angry, and he chased his mother without any suspicion. Wen Chou was angry, and his crotch suddenly ran away, and the distance between him and Tai Shici was suddenly shortened. Tai Shici's scalp is numb, it's a good thing that he can come over, but this place is still far from the destination, if he hasn't led him to the destination, he will be picked up by Wen Chou first, it will not be good.

Thinking of this, Tai Shici immediately inserted the double whip in his hand into his back, took the bow from the saddle, and took the arrow from the quiver at his waist. Three arrows, all at once. Seeing that the preparations were almost complete, he suddenly turned around, pulled his bow and arrow at Wen Chou, and shouted at the same time: "Wen Chou Pifu, don't you want to know if I can use every weapon, I'll let you see and understand!" Before he finished speaking, the three arrows left the bowstring and snatched them, as if urging them to die, and they all shot them in the chest.

Tai Shi Ci didn't mean to kill him, but deliberately talked nonsense with him before shooting arrows to remind him that he couldn't be a hidden arrow. Seeing the ugly on horseback, he was already prepared, and when he saw the feather arrow coming from the string, he snorted and shouted, "Good coming!" The spear swung away, crackled, swept away, and immediately shot down three arrows from the horse. But also in the short time when he received the other party's feather arrows, the distance between the two of them that had been narrowed suddenly opened up again at this moment.

Looking at Tai Shi Ci's distant figure, Wen Chou was anxious and angry, and roared: "What a cunning disciple, I thought that I could get rid of your Grandpa Wen Chou, it's not that simple!" Immediately, there was a roar like thunder, urging the war horse to chase after it non-stop. The two of them looked one after the other, looking into a patch of thatch. Wen Chou was behind, and scolded in his heart: "This guy, he doesn't take the road, but goes to these ghost places." Scolding and scolding, he didn't dare to delay, but still chased down in one breath without hesitation.

Tai Shi Ci was in front, and when he looked ahead, he saw that the destination was in front of him, and a smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth. Pulling the reins of the horse, the horse's hooves left the ground, and he suddenly jumped forward, and in an instant he jumped out of the promised place. And Wen Chou was behind, and he had already arrived in a moment. But he didn't know that there was a hidden trap in front of him, which was dug down by asking Tian Kai to be dug here when Tai Shi Ci came yesterday. When his body slammed and he felt the horse step on the void, and his crotch dismounted and fell rapidly with him, he immediately woke up. In this moment, instinct caused him to react quickly.

At the moment when he felt Ma Shen, he roared, and his body immediately rushed up, stepping on the horse's back, and wanted to use this power to send his body out and send out this unknown danger. However, his body bounced out, and the force of this bullet immediately accelerated the horse's fall. However, no matter how much he borrowed his strength, it was already too late, and his speed could not support the speed of his body falling, not to mention, just when he wanted to run up, the soldiers who had already been ambushed on both sides of the trap had already spread out an iron net, directly scooped it up from mid-air, and threw it up.

The horse had fallen into the pit, and there was a scream. And Wen Chou, who was almost at the same speed as the horse, was fished up and thrown in the grass.

Wen Chou was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he knew that he had been fooled, and he wanted to break free from the restraints on his body, but he couldn't move, and the more he wanted to struggle, the tighter the binding of the iron net.

Tai Shi Ci had already turned around and stared at Wen Chou, then he smiled and said to Wen Chou: "General Wen Chou, I'm sorry!" With a wave of his hand, he immediately caught Wen Chou, tied him up, and took him back to Dongpingling. When he returned to the city of Dongping Mausoleum, Tian Kai and others were ecstatic when they saw it, and praised Tai Shici's merits. Of course, after Wen Chou went to chase Tai Shici, the two sides of the confrontation under Dongping Ling City did not rush to act, they were all waiting for their own news.

Now that Wen Chou has been tied up and pushed in front of Wen Chou's army, Wen Chou's three armies are in a roar.

Tai Shici pointed at Wen Chou and asked Wen Chou's three armies: "Don't you even know your own generals, why, your generals are willing to surrender to my Dongping Tomb, what else do you have to hesitate?" If you don't put down your weapons for Lao Tzu, do you want Lao Tzu to cut off your heads one by one? ”

"This ...... This ......"

The three armies of Wen Chou have always regarded Wen Chou as the god of war, and now even their god of war has collapsed and fallen into the hands of thieves, what else do they have to rely on? Not to surrender? Why not surrender? Anyway, it's better to eat mixed rice in anyone's hands than to be slaughtered by thieves. If one person is cowardly, everyone else is cowardly. Suddenly, one by one they dropped their weapons, gave up resistance, and surrendered directly. Of course, there are still some unwilling, who want to resist, but they are all culled locally. In the face of the current situation, even if Wen Chou wanted to drink it, his mouth was stuffed, and if he had words, he could only rot in his stomach, so he could only watch his subordinates be disarmed and obediently surrender to the enemy.

Wen Chou was detained, and the people and horses were driven to the city, Tian Kai and the others were overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted and prepared a celebration banquet to reward Tai Shici. But Tai Shici didn't seem to care about this, just found Tian Kai and Kong Rong, and said to him: "Since the siege of Dongpingling has been solved, and my mission this time has been completed, I will not stay anymore." The old mother is in the hall, I really don't worry, so I will say goodbye to the two of you here! ”

Kong Rong knew that Tai Shi Ci was a person of great filial piety, and he wanted to keep it, but when he said this, he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. However, Tian Kai had a lot of grateful words to tell him, and when he heard that he was leaving, he was unwilling to persuade him, and when he saw that he was still insisting on this, he had to give up, and sighed: "I wanted to borrow a glass of water and wine at the table to honor Ziyi, since Ziyi is in a hurry to go back, I can't force you to stay here." Well, after all, it's a long way to go, so you might as well wait a little longer, and I'll let someone fetch some dry food for you to eat on the road. Tai Shi Ci did not shirk this. He was afraid that he would not be able to leave today after eating a banquet, so he had to leave. But dry food, he really needs it, who doesn't eat on the road?

He chatted with Tian Kai and Kong Rong a few more words here, and from time to time someone sent a thick package and handed him over to Tai Shici. Tai Shici took it in his hand and thanked him, put it on his shoulder, and was about to leave as soon as he handed it over. After thinking about it, he turned around and asked: "By the way, now General Wen Chou is in the hands of the two adults, I don't know what the two adults should do with this person?" ”

Kong Rong didn't say anything, Tian Kai heard it, gritted his teeth, and said, "Then you don't need to say it!" Wen Chou's guy beheaded several of my generals in front of the Taixian battle, and also killed Zong Bao, a cadre under Master Kong, who almost lost his life, and is still sick on the couch to recuperate. I have this person, I should vent my anger and dismantle it in eight pieces, and it is okay! ”

When Tai Shici heard this, he frowned and said: "Wen Chou is Yuan Shao's favorite general, if he kills this person, it will only provoke Yuan Shao's anger." What's more, if you kill Wen Chou today, you are a self-defeating retreat, so why bother? Chen Hou means...... Don't kill. ”

"Don't kill?" Tian Kai was stunned for a moment, and then sighed lightly: "Since it is Chen Hou's meaning, I will do it." Seeing that he agreed, Tai Shici relieved his heart, bowed his hand to him and Kong Rong, and turned around to leave. was pulled by Tian Kai again. Tian Kai asked him in a low voice: "I don't understand, with Chen Hou's power, it is not difficult to bring down Yuan Shao, why do you have to spend a lot of time, and finally spit out what you eat?" ”

Tai Shi Ci frowned, glanced at Tian Kai, and said, "I don't know!" He didn't say a word more, turned around and left.

Kong Rong stroked his beard and glanced at Tian Kai with a smile: "The Wen Chou who came from the army today is just a reckless man, but just such a reckless man, and he still forced us to such a situation, which shows that Yuan Shao has someone in his hands." Chen Ranzhi didn't do this, which shows his cleverness. What's more, if he does this, it will put him in a disadvantageous position and make the world laugh. In ancient times, there was a so-called bird that did not sing for three years, not because he did not sing, but because he did not sing, it was a blockbuster, and Lord Tian waited and waited. ”

"If you don't make a hit, it's just a blockbuster?"

From his eyes, from his words, Tian Kai seemed to understand something at the moment. He doesn't understand Chen Nuo's world, he is an outsider after all. But he knew that he could be silent. Towards Kong Rong, he nodded and said, "I understand, Wen Chou, we can spare his life." ”

A few days later, Tai Shi Ci appeared in Linjiang City.

When he arrived in Linjiang City, it was already afternoon, and the sky was about to get dark, so Tai Shici had to find an inn and rest temporarily. After eating in the inn, I returned to my room, collapsed on the couch and closed my eyes and was about to fall asleep. It's really hard to run around for days, and I finally got to the couch, which is not the reason for the couch? Only he is more responsive, although he sleeps with his eyes closed, he can also feel the slightest movement outside the door. At that moment, he heard footsteps outside the door, coming towards him.

Judging by him, the footsteps were steady and deep, and he deliberately hid his voice, obviously for fear of disturbing outsiders, and even more afraid of disturbing him. It seems that the comer is not good. At this time, he tightened the pair of steel whips in his baggage, and it was difficult to move, so he waited for the thief to touch him. Sure enough, after a while, the door creaked, and someone poked their heads in. The man had obviously waited outside for a while, and seeing that there was no movement inside, he was relieved to come in and approach him step by step.

Tai Shi Ci deliberately closed his eyes, waited until the thief approached, and without waiting for the other party to make a move, he suddenly made a move. He rolled over the couch, pulled out a pair of steel whips in his hands, and swept them away. The person who came was obviously taken aback, and in the face of this blow, he did not fight back, and immediately jumped backwards, and avoided his blow. In the dark night, Tai Shi Ci couldn't see the face of the person who came, and he was surprised to see that he was able to avoid it even when he suddenly attacked, and he couldn't hurt him in the slightest. He didn't know which way he came, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly followed with a whip.

This time, the person who came obviously saw the guy he was using in his hand, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Ziyi, it's me!" He didn't take the whip again, and jumped away. Tai Shi Ci was very familiar with this voice, and suddenly remembered, and quickly threw his hand away, threw away the whip, and asked, "Is it evil?" What are you doing here? ”

Dian Wei took a heavy breath, obviously the scene just now was very dangerous, if it weren't for him, I was afraid that it would be difficult for others to escape Tai Shici's two whips. He didn't speak for a while, and waited for Tai Shici to light the oil lamp in the house before he said, "Why am I here, of course I will take you to see the lord." ”

Tai Shi Ci was stunned for a moment and said, "Chen Hou? Isn't Chen Hou in Beihai, how did he come here? Also, how did you know that I was in Linhua? Dian Wei made a long story short: "I won't tell you, my lord and I have been in Linjiang for three or five days, and we also brought the Wuwei camp, and now the eyes of my Wuwei camp are all over the inside and outside of Linjiang City, if you want to know Ziyi, when did you enter the city, it is not simple?" Hey, don't say it, the lord heard that Ziyi you arrived in Linjiang City, I am afraid that Ziyi you will go directly to Beihai without knowing the situation, and when you can't find the lord, you will run in vain, so I will let Wei come to pick up Ziyi in the middle of the night. It's inconvenient to say here, you block and follow me to see the lord. ”

When Tai Shici heard him say this, he nodded, extinguished the lights, and followed Dian Wei all the way out of the inn.

I don't know how many streets and alleys I turned, Dian Wei took Tai Shici to a mansion. Tai Shici looked up, but it was Tian Mansion, and asked, "Why did Chen Hou live in Lord Tian Kai's Mansion?" Dian Wei explained: "Everywhere is to live, anyway, this is only one of the few mansions that Lord Tian has in Linjiang City, and it is also empty. After three knocks on the door, the door creaked open, and Dian Wei took Tai Shi Ci straight in. After the front yard, the middle yard, and directly to the backyard.

There was a room where the lights were still on, and Dian Wei took him straight over.

When he got to the outside of the house, Dian Wei made a report, and the door opened, only to see a person sitting on a pu mat in the house, staring at a roll of bamboo slips in front of the case, who is it not Chen Nuo? Dian Wei took Tai Shi Ci straight in and bowed his hand to Chen Nuo: "Lord, Tai Shi Ziyi has brought it!" Chen Nuo suddenly heard this, immediately raised his head, looked at Tai Shici, and smiled: "Ziyi is back?" Hurriedly got up and walked down, grabbed Tai Shici's arm, looked up and down, and asked, "Ziyi, is it okay to go to Dongpingling this time?" Thank you! At the same time, he asked Dian Wei to go down and warm up some wine and food to bring it up, and Dian Wei immediately went down to make arrangements.

Tai Shi Ci saw Chen Nuo here, nodded to Chen Nuo, and said: "Ci will go to Dongping Mausoleum, and hand over your letter to Kong and Tian, and ask him to fully cooperate with Ci to capture Wen Chou." Now Wen Chou has been successfully arrested, and his subordinates have also surrendered to the two of him, and the siege of Dongpingling has been lifted, and he is fortunate not to be dishonored! There was nothing else to do there, so Ci Fang hurried all the way back to report to Chen Hou. As soon as Chen Nuo heard him, he nodded heavily and asked, "Wen Chou is brave, I am afraid that it will not be easy to catch him, Ziyi, you are not injured, right?" ”

Tai Shi Ci was about to shake his head and say no, but Chen Nuo's fingers happened to touch the wound on his chest, and there was immediately a burst of pain, which made him frown slightly. Speaking of which, the wound on his chest that was stabbed by Wen Chou was not deep, although he did a simple bandage when he left Dongpingling, but he came all the way and ran around for days, which inevitably caused the wound to re-split several times, and it has not been good, so it is strange that it does not hurt. Although Tai Shici didn't speak, Chen Nuo had already seen it in his expression, and immediately ordered someone to prepare some wound medicine and send it up, and told him: "No! You can't ride a horse anymore, and I happen to be staying in Linjiang for a while, so you can recuperate here, and talk to me by the way. ”

Tai Shi Ci hurriedly said: "Chen Hou is kind, can Ciyan not know?" However, Ci has been away from his mother's side for a long time, and he is really not at ease when he leaves his old mother at home, and Ci urgently needs to go back to take care of his mother, so he ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw Dian Wei walk in and said: "You don't have to worry about this Ziyi, Ziyi, you don't know, after you left, the lord immediately transferred several good hands from the Wuwei camp, hired two maidservants, and asked them to take care of their aunt, and now that their safety and life have been taken care of, what else are you worried about?" ”

While speaking, Dian Wei led people to bring up all the hot wine and food, set up two tables, and retired.

Tai Shi Ci was also slightly stunned when he heard what Dian Wei said just now, looked at Chen Nuo, and said, "This ...... How is this good, the last time Chen Hou went to see me, you brought a lot of food and food, and helped buy a lot of furniture, I am already grateful......" Before he finished speaking, Chen Nuo had already pulled Tai Shici down and said with a smile: "When you and I first separated, I still remember that I said that when I am free, I will go to see my aunt." It's rare to be idle now, of course I'm going to go, it's not like to go empty-handed, anyway, it's just something inconsequential, it's really insignificant, Ziyi, you don't have to take it to heart, as long as your aunt is happy. ”

Speaking of Chen Nuo's visit to Tai Shi Ci's mother, it was before Tai Shi Ci came. Of course, Chen Nuo took the opportunity to meet him and mentioned Kong Rong again in front of his old mother. His old mother used to be taken care of by Kong Rong, and she was very grateful to Kong Rong, and she was naturally happy to hear Kong Rong's news. Chen Nuo then told his old mother the news he had received from the front. As soon as his old mother heard that Kong Rong was in danger again and was trapped in Dongpingling, she didn't say a word, she immediately asked her son to go to Dongpingling to relieve the siege. Although speaking of which, Tai Shici helped Kong Rong relieve the siege of Duchang, and he should report it, but his old mother didn't think so, and only thought that the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, so this time Kong Rong couldn't ignore it if he was in trouble. For this reason, Tai Shi Ci left his old mother's side again, rushed all the way to Dongpingling, arrested Wen Chou, and relieved the siege of Dongpingling.

Speaking of which, when he and Chen Nuo were separated in Duchang City, although he heard Chen Nuo say that he was going to his house to worship his mother, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that Chen Nuo was just talking. But, in his opinion, Chen Nuo has this intention, and there is really no hope. I just didn't expect that Chen Nuo really suddenly appeared in front of him, speaking of which, he was very moved at the time, and his gratitude to Chen Nuo was beyond words. At this time, I know that it is too shallow, so it is better to raise the lamp and put all the gratitude in this drink.

The hot wine was raised, and the two of them each brought it to their mouths, warming their hearts in this late autumn night.
