Thirty miles south of the Jingshi City, in a forest more than two miles away from the official road, hundreds of people from the rivers and lakes are fighting on a large scale, and there are four or five carriages parked on the edge of the woods, Sima Hong and Zhan Mubai are black and white, with a few Huashan disciples are standing by the car and watching the battle coldly, and Sima Hong's only one eye outside the blindfold is gradually ignited The desire to fight, if he has to protect the people in the carriage, he would have entered the battle group with his personality, and he would have been killed.

An old and extremely majestic voice came from the carriage: "Sima Yishi, do you know who is coming?" Is it Jinyiwei or Dongchang? ”

Sima Hong shook his head and walked to the window of the carriage, his voice revealing a respect: "Elder Xia Ge, it was not the dogs of Jinyiwei and Dongchang who attacked, but the people of the Sun Moon Demon Sect who were secretly supported by Yan Song, it seems that they want to kill you directly." ”

Xia Yan's voice still exuded a confident bearing in the balance: "Listening to this movement, it seems that the thieves have not been able to attack, is it that our side has an advantage now?" ”

Sima Hong glanced back at the battle group that was getting farther and farther away, and nodded: "The thieves don't know why, this time there is no very powerful master to lead the team, although the three leaders are old devils who have been famous for a long time in the rivers and lakes, but now they are not the top in the rivers and lakes, because our senior brothers don't need to make a move, just rely on the Shaolin Sect Zhi Zhi Master who rushed over just now, they can be completely blocked, and they have already killed more than 20 of them at this time and forced them into the woods." ”

Xia Yan sighed: "Yan Song's father and son are really mad, they actually bought these gangsters to assassinate me, I will definitely find a way to play the Ming Sheng, Sima Yishi, can you capture these bandits, although the old man has already made a decision." But there are still some protégés who are old, and when the time comes, they can find the criminal department or the Qingliu officials of Dali Temple for trial. ”

Sima Hong glanced at the corpses of the Demon Sect members on the ground, and shook his head: "Old Xia Ge, the rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, and these people are all dead soldiers, not ordinary Jiang Yang thieves, who will not fall into our hands, even if they catch a few small thieves, they are all obeying people's orders, and they have no evidence." It is impossible to find out anything, so I think it is better to protect the safety of your whole family and Governor Zeng's family first. ”

Xia Yan said "um": "Sima Yishi is reasonable, Yan Song's father and son are afraid that I will be resurrected by the emperor one day, so they will kill them all like this." After the old man returns to his hometown this time, he will definitely contact the Qingliu officials in the court. The above table impeached Yan Song's father and son for colluding with bandits. Corruption and perversion of the law, as well as Lu Bing of Jinyiwei, I also have evidence in my hands that he trained dead soldiers privately and plotted against him, as long as I have the opportunity to return to the court, I will definitely not let go of these scum. ”

Sima Hong smiled: "Old Xia Ge." We, the people of the rivers and lakes, admire you for being an upright official, so we will sacrifice our lives to accompany you, please rest assured, until you return to the court. I, Sima Hong, have already arranged all the affairs of the Huashan faction, and I will always be by your side. ”

Today, Xia Yan and his entourage set off early in the morning, more than an hour earlier than the wolf and others to the tea shop, on the way, Sima Hong and the others noticed that a large number of masters of the Demon Sect were following all the way, so they left Zhi Yan and most of the guards to fight in the small tea shop, while he escorted the convoy all the way forward, and when he arrived at Tiejiazhuang twenty miles ahead, he could take a breath.

Half an hour ago, Zhi Yan rushed back here with people, saying that there was a powerful Jinyi Wei master Tian Wolf in the small tea shop, and he defeated the four masters of the Demon Sect and the Jin Buchang family, and now the people of the Demon Sect and Dongchang have withdrawn, he was afraid that the enemy would directly pursue Xia Yan after leaving, so he brought people to follow, and sure enough, in less than a moment, the ghost saint, He Qinghua and Wang Ziqiao led a large number of demon cultists and dozens of elites of the general altar guard, and they followed, and the two sides had a big battle on the official road.

Although the number of people in the Demon League is not as good as the opponent, but the quality is superior, there are six or seven masters of the Shaolin generation who follow the team to act together, and Yang Qionghua of the Huashan faction, Lu Bai and other masters have also joined the battle group, Sima Hong and Zhan Mubai have been guarding the side of the car, even so, the Demon League still has the upper hand, and in less than half an hour, they killed more than 40 people on the other side, and the rest of the people are also fighting and retreating, and gradually have retreated to the depths of the woods.

Zhan Mubai's yin and yang strange voice sounded in Sima Hong's ears: "Senior brother in charge, it seems that the enemy is nothing great, I am a little tired of waiting here, watching others kill demon dogs, my heart is so itchy." ”

Sima Hong himself actually thought the same way, but he glanced at the several carriages beside him, and still shook his head: "Senior brother, don't be careless, the thief may be diverting the tiger from the mountain, in case the two of us also go over to kill the thief, there is no one to guard here, and the thief takes the opportunity to raid again, then something will happen." Bear with me, are you afraid that there will be no chance to kill thieves in the future? ”

Zhan Mubai sighed, reluctantly looked at the battle group that was getting farther and farther in the distance, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Senior brother, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, should we escort Lord Xia to leave first?" ”

Sima Hong was slightly stunned and shook his head: "There's no need for this, now we have a big advantage, but if we go, just rely on a few of us, in case we encounter an ambush along the way, then we won't be able to deal with it." ”

Zhan Mubai's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked Sima Hong to take a few steps away from the carriage, and whispered to him: "I'm not worried about the people of the Demon Sect, but the brocade-clothed Wei Tianwolf, I heard that the emperor has issued an edict, and he is coming for Lord Xia, if they arrive and bring Lord Xia back to the capital, it will be over." ”

Sima Hong's remaining one-eyed jumped: "If the emperor has already issued an edict, then it is useless to run anywhere, junior brother, what good way do you have?" ”

Zhan Mubai glanced back at the convoy and sighed: "Where can I do anything, if I can go to Tiejiazhuang, and find a way to pick up the families of Xia Ge Lao and Governor Zeng when the time comes, the emperor's edict should be aimed at Lord Xia, unless it is a rebellion in this officialdom, it will not generally harm the family, and we must keep our loyalty and goodness at the worst." ”

The cold murderous aura in Sima Hong's eyes flashed and disappeared: "If Yan Song's old thief and the dog emperor don't even let go of orphans and widows, I will fight for this life, and I will also enter the palace to take the life of this faint monarch and traitor." ”

Zhan Mubai hurriedly waved his hand: "Senior brother, by all means, the masters of the palace are like clouds, what we can't rush in is Yan Song's old thief, and he is also well guarded, I don't know how many righteous people in the rivers and lakes want to hoe him over the years, none of them can come back alive, we still have to deal with the Demon Sect and the Wushan faction, first eradicate their lackeys in the rivers and lakes, and then deal with the old thief." ”

Sima Hong punched out hatefully, and a two-inch-deep fist mark was directly sunk into the pine tree next to him: "The old thief has now formed an alliance with Lu Bing of Jinyiwei, and now the rivers and lakes are the way to eliminate demons, and if we want to deal with them in the future, it will be even more difficult." ”

Zhan Mubai shook his head: "Senior brother, don't be too pessimistic, the head of Wudang Xu is the son of the current second assistant Xu Jie, and Elder Xia Ge has also said that Lord Xu is an upright minister that we can rely on in the future, as long as there is justice in the world, our battle with the Demon Sect will not stop." ”

While the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves from the south, their faces changed, and they both rushed to the carriage with their swords, Sima Hong shouted loudly: "Who is coming, report the name, and stop stopping to blame us for being polite!"

A jujube red horse of a divine horse suddenly stopped its momentum less than ten steps away from Sima Hong, raised its head and neighed, its front hooves shook high, and in a cloud of smoke and dust, a man on the horse who was dressed in a light red brocade guard military official robe, wearing a hedgehog crown, and carrying a roll of yellow silk cloth wrapped in a scroll, his face sank like water, and he shouted in a deep voice: "There are people sitting in this car, but the family of Xia Yan, the former cabinet chief?" ”

Sima Hong looked at the knight on the horse coldly, and nodded: "It's Lord Xia in the car, who are you?" Dare to be so disrespectful to the former Shousuke? ”

The knight laughed: "I am a Jinyi guard who has experienced Shen Lian, and I came to Xia Yan to announce the decree by order, where is Xia Yan, why don't you come out quickly to receive the decree?" (To be continued......)
