Everything happened in a flash, and it was too fast for Li Mi to make a choice.

Even if Li Mi had the ability to reach the sky, he didn't have time to deal with it, and his first reaction was to run for his life.

Manpower is poor, machine crossbows are endless, under this kind of chain crossbow, no matter how good his martial arts are, he is powerless to resist.

When Li Mi jumped off the wall, he saw the swishing crossbow shoot again, and knew that he had made the right decision!

Looking up, seeing Shan Xiongxin hesitating at the head of the city, Li Mi shouted: "Xiongxin, come down quickly, be careful of Xu Shiji's plot!" ”

He didn't expect that Xu Shiji had already prepared, Fang Xianbo would not be spared if he fell into the city, and if he lost Shan Xiongxin again, then he would really suffer a heavy loss.

It doesn't hurt that Xiangyang City can't be taken for a while, but if there is no Shan Xiongxin, it will be an eternal loss.

Li Mi is good at looking at people, looking for people's weaknesses, and has always been extremely conceited. Although he is skilled in martial arts, more often than not, he prefers to use his brain, he is in the city, and he doesn't want to give up Shan Xiongxin, so he shouts loudly to remind him of the dangerous situation.

But as soon as the words came out, I already felt that it was inappropriate, and secretly called it bad. If he doesn't remind him, maybe he will jump down, but when it comes to Xu Shiji, I am afraid that Shan Xiongxin will hesitate even more.

Sure enough, Shan Xiongxin looked back at the past, and said after a while: "Shiji, if you kill me, I have nothing to say." ”

Only then did he discover that there was a hollow in the wall opposite the castle tower, and a ballista was hidden. The design of the ballista is exquisite, it should be the kind of chain crossbow, and the crossbow is still fastened with crossbow arrows, and the end is exquisitely structured, and it can fire chilling crossbow arrows at any time.

But Shan Xiongxin did not have the slightest fear.

Sometimes, death is not as good as a righteous word for them. He felt ashamed of Xu Shiji, and even thought that it was not too much for Xu Shiji to take his surname, so he didn't run away!

Xu Shiji stood far away, and when he heard what Shan Xiongxin said, he shook his head and said, "Why did I want to kill you?" Xiongxin, the two armies are at war, each is its own master, and there is nothing wrong with what you are doing. What's more, you pleaded for your father, and you couldn't bear to stop me, you didn't mention these, haven't I seen it in my eyes?! ”

Shan Xiongxin was silent, but he sighed.

Xu Shiji also sighed, "Xiongxin, do you still remember the red willow that you and I planted when we were righteous, and now the tree must not be able to close its arms?" ”

Shan Xiongxin said after a while: "Of course I remember that you admired Huan Wen for creating an immortal foundation, so you followed his example of Jincheng and planting willows." You said at that time that you would lay down the territory of Nuoda with the brothers of Wagang! ”

Xu Shiji sighed with emotion, but he didn't say much. Shan Xiongxin said again: "At that time, I heard you say that Huan Wen is to occupy Xiangyang, and use it as a springboard to achieve the great cause of the Northern Expedition, and now you are in Xiangyang, looking like Huan Wen back then, I am happy for you." ”

Xu Shiji sighed lightly: "Thank you Xiongxin for what you said, but do you remember what Huan Wen said, if wood is like this, how can people be worthy?" Trees are changing, people are also changing, compared with red willows, people should be more energetic. Although Zhai Hong has always looked at me dissatisfied, I have no complaints about Zhai Da's master, but you must also know that today's Wagang is no longer the original Wagang, and there is no way out to follow Zhai Da's master. And Pushan Gong Li Mi does things unscrupulously, his conceit is too high, he rarely listens to people's words, and he is not a good master. If Xiongxin really still has the ambition of the year, he should consider choosing another master. Although General Xiao is young, he is benevolent and righteous, and it is rare to have the wisdom to listen to both, if you believe that you will follow today, General Xiao will abandon his previous suspicions and conspire together! ”

Shan Xiongxin pondered for a long time before he said: "Shiji, you also said that wood is like this, how can people be worthy." When the red willow is still there, the oath of the alliance is still in the ear, and you are forced to leave the world, and you will not live up to the tile gang, but the owner of the village has a deep affection for me after all. Hongliu doesn't go, I can't bear him. ”

Xu Shiji was slightly disappointed and no longer persuaded him.

He also knew that it was unlikely that Shan Xiongxin would stay, after all, he was different from himself. If it weren't for Zhai Hong's ruthlessness back then, if it weren't for Li Mi's secret troublemaker, he might not have left Wagang. In any case, he will always respect Shan Xiongxin's choice, just as Xiao Buyi respects his choice, perhaps this is the reason why he has always been able to follow Xiao Buyi.

Shan Xiongxin saw that Xu Shiji was silent, and said in a low voice: "Shiji, if you don't do it, I will leave." ”

"Wait." Xu Shiji said suddenly.

Shan Xiongxin didn't blink his eyelids and waited for Xu Shiji to follow. Xu Shiji instructed the soldiers: "Go and get the rope." ”

When the soldiers took the rope, Xu Shiji fell down the rope and went down to the city, and said softly: "Xiongxin, the city is too high, with your kung fu, you can't jump, go down the rope." ”

Shan Xiongxin sighed lightly, didn't say much, just clasped his hands into fists, and slipped down the rope into the city, Fang Xuanzao and Wang Bodang were a little surprised, looked at each other, and their faces were a little gloomy. Li Mi took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "I just said that Xiongxin will not fail me." ”

Shan Xiongxin was silent, although Li Mi had a smile on his face, a haze flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly turned his head to Xu Shiji in the city and said: "Xu Shiji, since you are hypocritical, then you might as well release Fang Xianbo." ”

Xu Shiji smiled on the city wall and said: "Do you want Fang Xianbo's body, that's good, I think the benevolent and righteous Pushan Gong will definitely be brought to Wagang for burial." ”

He had the soldiers drop a corpse with a rope from the top of the city wall, and he did not leave it, but it was quite polite. Fang Xianbo's eyes were wide open, but there were no scars on his body, but the flesh and blood between his throats were blurred, and it seemed that his throat had been cut off by an extremely sharp long sword.

Li Mi swung out the broken knife, cut the rope, stretched out his hand to pick up Fang Xianbo, and sneered: "Xu Shiji, I am defeated today, but I don't know how you know that I will be here, so I have been prepared for it?" He hugged Fang Xianbo's body, and he didn't see Xu Shiji sad, but he was even more depressed, just because Fang Xianbo took dozens of strong men to escort Xu Gai, instead of holding Xu Shiji hostage, he died mysteriously, which really made him unable to understand how Xu Shiji did this.

Xu Shiji said lightly: "I pinched my fingers and knew that you would definitely come today." ”

Li Mi secretly hated in his heart, knowing that Xu Shiji was very cautious and refused to say it clearly, but the two were separated by a high wall, and he was helpless against Xu Shiji. "Xu Shiji, I keep this defeat in mind. The mountains are high and the water is clear, and there will be a period later. ”

Xu Shiji raised his voice and said: "I also want to thank Pushan Gong for sending his father all the way, Pushan Gong is inconvenient to stay for a long time, and he will probably not enter the city to talk about it. ”

Li Mi snorted coldly, hugged Fang Xianbo's body and strode away, and Wang Bodang also picked up Fang Xuanzao and followed closely. Fang Xuanzao's legs were almost broken by the hard crossbow, but he didn't snort. Shan Xiongxin looked back, but after all, he didn't speak, and followed Li Mi into the darkness, but he looked a little lonely!

**

Xu Shiji, who was on the head of the city, finally let out a long breath, and turned around and ordered the soldiers to clean up the mess.

Xu Gai was intact, but he was trembling and a little timid.

Xu Shiji went down to the city, but he looked around, and a person behind him asked, "Are you looking for someone to eat rice?" ”

Of course, Bei Pei is Pei Bei, and the two teamed up to repel Li Mi, but they both had palpitations.

Xu Shiji asked the soldier to take his father to rest first, and then talk later, looking back at Pei Bei and saying with a wry smile: "If she is a person who eats rice, I think there will be no useful people in this world." This woman is very powerful, she can kill Fang Xianbo with just a long sword, rescue her father, and her swordsmanship is amazing. I want to thank her, but I don't know where she went. ”

Pei Bei smiled and said: "She is very eccentric, but she pretends to be a soldier to open the city gate, if it weren't for a master like him to go alone, how could he make Fang Xianbo unguarded, so he rescued Ling Zun?" It's normal for people with skills to have weird tempers. ”

Xu Shiji muttered: "It's a pity that she disguised herself, I still can't see her true face." ”

"What would you like to see her look like?" Pei Bei asked with a smile.

Xu Shiji also smiled: "Everyone has curiosity, and of course I will be no exception, but fortunately, with her, she is also willing to help us, otherwise my father is in danger." ”

It turned out that the city soldier who opened the city gate in the past was a woman in black, she disguised herself as a city soldier, killed him while the house was unprepared, and then snatched out Xu's father. Then Pei Bei arranged for the crossbowmen to come forward early, and shot dozens of people to death in the city gate cave with a random arrow.

This kind of task may be difficult for ordinary people, but it is easy for the woman in black. She rescued Xu's father, handed it over to the city soldiers, and drifted away without a trace.

"General Xu, how did you calculate that Li Mi would come, and he would do it tonight, so that I could set up an ambush in the city tower?" Pei Bei asked curiously, "You must not say anything and pinch your fingers." ”

Xu Shiji laughed, but no longer pretended to be mysterious, "The reason is simple, to put it bluntly, Li Mi underestimated me Xu Shiji, I didn't know that he mixed into the city, but he asked Cheng Yanjin to take two thousand cavalry to the valley near the left of Xiangyang to station, but I thought I didn't know, so Li Mi was a little too confident in his strategy." Since I, Xu Shiji, am the governor of Xiangyang, not only have to take care of the affairs in the city, but if I still don't know about the infestation of the army in Xiangyang, I am really ashamed of this position. ”

Pei Bei's eyes lit up, "It turns out that there are still Li Mi's troops stationed outside the city?" ”

Xu Shiji nodded and said: "Of course Li Mi will not entrust him to think that he can control Xiangyang City with a few people, these two thousand cavalry came by a detour, and when they crossed the Han River, I had actually noticed that people had already noticed that it was Cheng Biting Jin who led the troops, and Cheng Biting Jin had already been attached to Wagang, and he could move such a battle, of course Zhai Dangjia would not have the courage to do so, and he would not agree, Cheng Biting Jin did not move, but I thought that it was very likely that Li Mi had mixed into Xiangyang, and he wanted to join forces with the outside to take Xiangyang!" In addition, General Xiao suddenly said that Li Mi might attack Xiangyang, so I was on full alert. General Xiao's intuition is keen, and it is really beyond my reach. Of course, he didn't know that the news that Li Mi was going to attack Xiangyang was that the woman in black told Xiao Buyi, and Xiao Buyi asked for his opinion in order to be safe.

Pei Bei couldn't help admiring, "General Xu, Buyi said that you have great talent, and you are not mistaken, no wonder he dares to leave Xiangyang, you are in charge, he has no worries!" ”

Xu Shiji smiled, "Miss Pei has won the award, in fact, General Xiao is not relieved to leave Xiangyang City, but knows that if he sits in Xiangyang City, Li Mi will not launch it for a while, so his trick is called luring the snake out of the hole." He is still afraid that these people are plotting against me, so he left to eat white rice to protect me, we have been strengthening the city defenses, and we have arranged crossbow arrows very early, just afraid that someone will seize the city! You also know what happened later, the only thing General Xiao and I didn't calculate was that they actually brought their father, Shan Xiongxin was forced to lead me into the hub, I will lead them to the city gate tower with a plan, but unfortunately, Li Mi's martial arts are outrageous, so the organ can't kill him! There is no need to clash with them head-on now, Cheng Bites Jin's soldiers, let them go, we don't need to lose our forces to fight against them, just find a way to get back this one later. They ran a long way, and if they wanted to attack the city with 2,000 soldiers, they would undoubtedly be foolish dreams, and they must have to turn around. ”

"Fortunately, Ling Zun has been rescued, which is a great thing." Pei Bei comforted, seeing that Xu Shiji's face was depressed, and asked softly, "General Xu, you have done your best, but it is up to people to make things happen, and things are up to the sky, so don't be unhappy." You are depressed, but is it because of Shan Xiongxin? ”

Xu Shiji nodded, but looked into the distance, where the night was thick.

Pei Bei's guess was not correct this time, but Xu Shiji didn't say anything. It was within his expectation that Shan Xiongxin did not submit to him, but thinking that Li Mi's martial arts were extremely high, and he was scheming, and ten Zhai Rang were not his opponents. If Zhai Rang is just greedy for money and lustful, it doesn't matter if he is timid and afraid of things, even if Li Mi takes Wagang, he should disdain to kill him, but Zhai Rang has a big brother who is looking for trouble, and he has a group of selfish subordinates, I am afraid that it will not take long before Li Mi's murder will be touched.

Thinking of Xu Shiji here, he shook his head slowly, there are too many such things in this world, and he Xu Shiji can't control a lot!

**

After Xu Shiji became the manager of Xiangyang, he could show his talent to the fullest.

Although he does not lead troops to fight, he can strategize and be extraordinary.

He thought it well, Zhai Rang is rich and has a woman, and he is satisfied with Ansheng. But not everyone thinks like him, Zhai Hong is the one who is not satisfied.

At this moment, Zhai Hong was in front of Li Mi's mansion, and shouted arrogantly: "Get out, I want to see Li Mi!" ”

Although the subordinate in front of the house was strong, he still said politely: "Pushan is just recuperating from his illness, so I can't come to see Zhai Dang's house." ”

Zhai Hong smiled coldly, "Everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives and forget to die to fight, he is good, he is a few months, leisurely." Today, I have something important to see Li Mi, don't stop me, otherwise don't blame the sword for having no eyes. ”

'Choking' sound, Zhai Hong had already pulled out his waist knife and squinted at the person.

The subordinates looked at each other, and could only say, "Please wait a while, Zhai Dangjia, I'll go and ask Pushan Gong." ”

The subordinate hurried to the living room, and found Li Mi sitting in the middle, with Wang Bodang sitting next to him, and said in a low voice: "Pushan Gong, Zhai Hong must see you." ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhai Hong walked in from outside the door laughing, "Pushan Gong, I see that you have a good complexion, how can this dog thing with long eyes say that you are sick and bedridden?" Could it be that Pushan Gong has been getting bigger recently, so he looks down on me? ”

Li Mi coughed a few times, covered his chest with his hands, and said after a while: "Why did Zhai Dangjia say this, I, Li Mi, have no such intention, but I have been really unwell recently, and I am getting better now...... By the way, I don't know what Zhai Dangjia is looking for me? ”

Zhai Hong sat down grinningly and slapped the table, "Li Mi, your subordinate Zhang Qian went to fight Yingchuan County, didn't he?" ”

Li Mi smiled and said, "It seems that nothing can be hidden from Zhai Dangjia, so what?" ”

Zhai Hong sneered: "Li Mi, what you said is very wrong, it's not that you can't hide it from me, but you can't contain the fire in the paper!" If I don't ask, I'm afraid you'll keep this matter secret. But you don't have to forget, who helped you when you were in trouble, who invited you to enter the cottage when you were unwilling, don't forget, today's Wagang is still surnamed Zhai! ”

"Of course I won't forget this," Li Mi pondered for a moment, "If there is anything I do wrong, please ask Zhai to speak clearly." ”

Zhai Hong sneered: "You asked Zhang Qian to attack Yingchuan, but the gold, silver and jewelry you grabbed were not reported, I think Li Mi, you should have got the largest share, right?" This can only be grabbed under the banner of Wagang, you must not forget your roots. ”

Li Mi nodded and said, "I see, I don't restrain my subordinates strictly, and I ask Zhai Dangjia to forgive me." In this way, I will ask Bing Yuanzhen to ask Zhang Qian in a while, I will never forget to give the stolen jewelry to Zhai Dangjia, I don't know if Zhai Dangjia can be satisfied? ”

Zhai Hong snorted coldly, "Count you as acquaintances, but hurry up." ”

Li Mi nodded, Zhai Hong played enough prestige, raised the gate, and said to his subordinates: "What Pushan Gong, I think it's just like that." ”

All his subordinates said with smiling faces: "In Wagang, in addition to the big boss, Zhai Dangjia can be so majestic!" ”

Someone was still sober and reminded: "Zhai Master, before he was in the Great Sea Temple, Li Mi's kung fu was not weak, you have to be careful." ”

Zhai Hong pursed his lips, "Really good?" I only saw him being killed by Zhang Xutuo and fleeing in all directions, if Qin Shubao hadn't come out later, would he still be alive now? Besides, this tile gang was originally owned by my younger brother, he is the oldest, as long as I am unhappy, I can drive him away at any time! ”

All the subordinates nodded and said, "That's, that's!" ”

A burst of wild laughter spread to the hall, and Wang Bodang was angry and stood up angrily, "Sir, this Zhai Hong is too arrogant!" ”

Li Mi frowned and waved his hand, "Bodang, sit down." ”

Although Wang Bodang was angry, he still obeyed Li Mi's words, sat down angrily and asked, "Sir, Zhai Hong insulted you like this, aren't you angry at all?" ”

Li Mi smiled, "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, if you can't even bear this humiliation, how can it become a big thing?" ”

"But are we just going to endure it?" Wang Bodang clenched his fists.

A trace of fierceness flashed in Li Mi's eyes, and it was erased in an instant, "Bodang, Zhai Rang Zhai Hong is actually not afraid. As long as you and I are willing, what's so difficult about uprooting this tile? But Zhai Hong is right about one thing, after all, this Wagang is still surnamed Zhai, and now the country is undecided, and the bandits are vying to join him, if we kill Zhai Rang, it will only chill the heroes who are watching the world. Maybe it will fall apart, just in front of you, Bodang, you don't have to worry, and when you hear this person chattering in the future, you can treat it as a dog barking. ”

Wang Bodang sighed and said no more.

Li Mi frowned slightly, thinking about his thoughts, he has always admired the rule of hard work. In addition to dealing with the invincible Zhang Xutuo in the world, he has always won with ingenuity. Win the trust of Zhai Rang, attack Jindi Pass, break Xingyang, and trap Zhang Xutuo, everything is aimed at the weakness of the opponent. The weakness of Xiangyang City is Xu Shiji, and Xu Shiji's weakness is filial piety, as long as he grasps this, he thought that it would not be difficult to conquer Xiangyang City, but he didn't expect to return. Now that the picture is poor, Xiangyang will definitely take strict precautions, and if he wants to outwit again, he is afraid that he will be sad and ascend to the sky.

As for Zhai Hong, he can be killed at any time, so there is no need to rush for a while. But if he can't seize Xiangyang, he will only have one way to capture the eastern capital. As long as the Eastern Capital is conquered, it is not difficult to command the world, but it is ...... was groaning, and the subordinates hurried over, "Pushan Gong, Li Wenxiang asks to see." ”

"Ask him to come in." Li Mi was a little surprised, secretly thinking that Li Wenxiang was originally a giant thief of Wei County, his martial arts were not bad, and he was brave. I co-opted him as a cronie and sent him to attack Dongping County in the east of Jiyin, how could he come back so quickly?

When Li Wenxiang walked in, he had a white cloth bandaged on his head, and it was still stained with blood.

Li Mi frowned slightly, "Wen Xiang, but in trouble?" ”

Li Wenxiang was a little ashamed and arched his hand: "Wenxiang mistakenly entrusted by Pushan Gong, please punish him." ”

Li Mi smiled and took his hand and sat down, "Victory or defeat is really a common thing in soldiers, Wen Xiang should not blame himself too much, what is the matter, please tell me, as far as I know, the Sui army of Dongping County does not have a famous general, with your ability, you should not suffer a loss." ”

Li Wenxiang said ashamedly: "Pushan Gong, Dongping County is an unknown general, I led my troops all the way eastward, and broke several counties in a row, but I didn't expect Xu Yuanlang to suddenly send troops to attack my rear army, I was defenseless, so I returned defeated." ”

"Xu Yuanlang?" Li Mi frowned, and only asked after a while: "So Dongping County has fallen into his hands?" ”

Li Wenxiang nodded, "I heard that the north to Dongping, the south to Langya, all belong to Xu Yuanlang's hands, he said that with him in Dongping, let us Wagang Mo fight their ideas, otherwise it is inevitable to meet each other." Seeing Li Mi's eyebrows raised, Li Wenxiang was full of panic, "Please also ask Pushan Gong to give me another chance, let me lead the troops to attack Xu Yuanlang, if I miss again, come and see you!" ”

Li Mi waved his hand and said: "Don't be in a hurry, I heard that Xu Yuanlang is also a talent, and he has never had a chance to meet, I have another plan now, I need you to wait for help, Dongping has no obstacles, but can postpone the attack." In order to avoid worries, it is good to find someone to negotiate peace with Xu Yuanlang first. ”

"What are your plans, sir?" Wang Bodang asked.

Li Mi frowned and said: "Since Xiangyang is not available for the time being, then we should take Luokou Cang, this is the first granary in the world, if we take it down, there will be no shortage of grain and grass in the east!" But to prevent Xu Yuanlang from attacking us, we have a side branch, who is the best person to talk to him...... Originally, Xuanzao was eloquent and cautious, but he was a big responsibility, but unfortunately he was seriously injured, which was not conducive to ......."

"What about me?" Uncle Wang recommended himself.

Li Mi smiled and shook his head, "Bodang, you are too rash and not a good candidate." He frowned slightly, considering the candidates for the peace talks, Li Wenxiang suddenly said: "Pushan Gong, I still have something to tell." When I attacked Dongjun and retreated, there was a person who came to join him, he said that he had admired the name of Pushan Gong for a long time, and he had come to take refuge, but this person was just a scholar, and he was afraid that it would be useless! ”

"Who is it?" Li Mi asked casually.

"He said his name was Zu Junyan!" Li Wenxiang said.

Li Mi was groaning, and said casually: "Zu Junyan? Zu Junyan! ”

Huo Ran thought of something, Li Mi stood up and laughed: "Wen Xiang, take me to see him!" Hundreds of liters fly to the sky, and the bright moon shines on Chang'an! This son comes, and what I plan can be done! ”

**

In front of a restaurant in Dongping County, people come and go, but no one enters the restaurant, and business is quite deserted.

The plaque of the restaurant is golden-edged and black-bottomed, with three big characters on it, and the sky is outside the fairy! The three big characters dragon and phoenix danced, and they wanted to break the plaque.

Since Xu Yuanlang conquered Dongping, he has not disturbed the people's livelihood, the people have put their minds at ease, and the business of various industries is the same.

One man was dressed in old clothes, and carried a skin bag that was slightly long, and which seemed to contain a short stick. The man walked slowly to the front of the building, looked at the three big characters on the plaque, and muttered, "Immortals outside the sky? ”

A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and although his eyes were large, his face was haggard.

Walking slowly towards the building, the guy stepped forward and said, "This guest officer, this restaurant has been contracted by Uncle Xu, and he will not accept guests." ”

The man said indifferently: "I am your Uncle Xu's guest." ”

The guy glanced up and down at the man, full of disdain, "Uncle Xu didn't say that there were any guests." Hey, what do you do! ”

As he spoke, the man had already walked into the restaurant, and the man reached out to grab it, but was picked up by the man and his feet were in the air.

The man carried the guy upstairs, the owner of the restaurant, the cook, and the guy were all shocked, they never thought that this person had great strength, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The man went up to the second floor, found a place in the middle and sat down, put down the man, untied his skin and put it on the table, and there was a loud 'dang' sound.

The guy climbed downstairs with a roll, but the man didn't pay attention, just looked at the skin bag on the table, and muttered: "Luo Shixin, it's time for you to settle accounts with them!" ”

(To be continued)
