359 Fight again

Zhai Rang fell to his knees, and the room was as silent as death, and the needle drop could be heard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Except for Zhai Rang's face full of pleading, the rest of the generals had different expressions, Wang Bodang's murderous spirit was unabated, Fang Xuanzao frowned, Shan Xiongxin stood tall, Cheng, Qin, and Wang all had solemn faces and few expressions, but it was unknown whether their hearts were turbulent.
Li Mi's gaze swept over everyone, and he coughed a few times, "Bodang is also reckless, seeing that I am seriously ill, this is why the Lord is anxious." But today it was indeed a misunderstanding. It's just that Zhai Hong is evil, poisoned and framed me, etc., and the owner of the village has dissuaded him many times, how can I turn a blind eye? Zhai Hong's death ......"
"He deserves it." Zhai Rang said hurriedly.
Li Mi sighed lightly, "Since the first evil has been punished, let's forget about today's matter." Everyone, please go back, and the owner of the village also please leave, but I am seriously ill and difficult to recover, so I will not be far away......"
When Li Mi said that he was not far away, he coughed lightly a few times and covered his mouth with his hand.
Shan Xiong Nobu breathed a sigh of relief and arched his hand: "Duke Wei is well aware of righteousness, and Xiongxin is grateful. He stretched out his hand to help Zhai Rang and said, "Owner of the village, now that the matter is clear, I will send you out." ”
Zhai Rang glanced at the corpse of his eldest brother, and when he saw Zhai Mohou's corpse again, tears couldn't help but flow out again. It's just that at this time, everyone knows that it is important to leave, Zhai Rang arched his hand and said: "Zhai Hong is to blame, Xie Weigong is magnanimous, and Zhai Rang is leaving." ”
Shan Xiongxin pulled Zhai Rang and Zhai Rang helped Wang Ruxin, and the three walked out side by side. Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "Duke Wei is benevolent and righteous, and he only punishes the evil, which really makes me wait for my heart." ”
Li Mi nodded, and coughed a few more times, sounding unusually weak and tired. Qin Shubao and the others were all invited by Shan Xiongxin to see off Zhai Rang, how could they have expected to encounter this thrilling battle.
In fact, everyone didn't want to get involved, but they also wanted to see how Li Mi decided. Now that Wagang is in great trouble, if Li Mi kills Zhai Rang desperately, everyone may not say it, but after all, they all have the sadness of the rabbit dying and the fox. If there is no Zhai Rang, and there is no Li Mi, if Li Mi even kills Zhai Rang, then among the generals, who else can he not kill?
Seeing Li Mi's tiredness, Cheng Biting Jin said with interest: "I'm going to send it to the village master, so I won't disturb Wei Gong's rest first." ”
Li Mi waved his hand, closed his eyes, and everyone dispersed, and Jia Runfu had already withdrawn with a knife and axe. Of course, Wang Bodang and the other three cronies would not follow to send it, and when the hustle and bustle were gone, Li Mi's eyes opened, the cold light flashed, and he said abruptly: "Whose idea was it?" ”
Wang Bodang took a step forward and knelt down and said: "Sir, it is Bodang who makes the decision without authorization, this matter has nothing to do with Xuanzao and Jiande, if Mr. wants to be punished, Bodang will bear it on his shoulders." ”
Fang Xuanzao said on the side: "Duke Wei, it's not Bodang who makes the decision on his own, we and the others discuss it privately, and we all feel that letting Zhai Rang go back at this moment will undoubtedly disturb the morale of the army." Now Xiao Buyi has won several battles against us, which has greatly damaged the morale of Wagang. Back then, Xiao Buyi uprooted Wagang with a thunderous force, and the old department of Wagang had lingering fears about this, and we were only afraid that Zhai Rang would vote for Xiao Buyi if he left! ”
Li Mi closed his eyes and muttered, "Will he go to Xiao Buyi?" ”
"No one knows for sure about this." Fang Xuanzao frowned and said: "Even if Zhai Rang doesn't surrender Xiao Buyi, if he is captured by Xiao Buyi again, I am only afraid that the Wagang Congregations will be disheartened and out of control." ”
"But I didn't expect Shan Xiongxin to arrive and ruin our good deeds, but why did Duke Wei let him go, even if he killed Zhai Rang, how could they dare to say anything?" Wang Bodang hated and said.
Fang Xuanzao sighed lightly, "Zhai Rang begged bitterly, he was deeply rooted in Wagang, if he killed him in front of the generals of Wagang, I was afraid that it would cause the chill of others." ”
Wang Bodang didn't know this truth, so he could only sigh. Li Mi was silent for a long time, "What's the matter with Jia Runfu?" Although Wang Bodang and the others did not listen to his orders and made their own decisions, in Li Mi's mind, these people were thinking about him after all. What's more, the people around him have changed, and these three people have been following left and right, which can be regarded as loyal. He didn't actually know when it happened, but he just quickly understood the cause and effect, he has always been like this, the past things, let the past be good, many things, since they have happened, they have to find a way to make up for it.
Wang Bodang saw that Li Mi had no intention of blaming, and he was slightly happy in his heart, "If you want to kill Zhai Rang, of course you have to have an excuse!" A few days ago, Zhai Hong said that I was going to kill him, and he yelled to kill me, so I asked Jia Runfu to be meticulous, and lied to Zhai Hong that he could help, Zhai Hong's stupid fool did things without thinking, and he really believed it. Then he discussed the details with Jia Runfu and said that he was poisoned and drunk, and Wei Gong also saw the rest. I was expecting to use Zhai Hong's affairs to kill all of Zhai Rang's cronies this time...... I didn't expect it...... Alas! ”
Li Mi muttered: "Do things without thinking...... The corners of his mouth showed a sneering smile, and he waved his hand and said: "Okay, you all go down, I'll take a look to appease Zhai Rang's subordinates who stay here." ”
Wang Bodang was stunned, "Duke Wei, are we just letting Zhai Rang go?" ”
"What do you want?" Li Mi raised his eyebrows.
"Zhai Rang will go from Luokou to Wagang, most of the time he will pass through Queshan, where we can ambush all the way to assassinate him." Wang Bodang suggested.
Li Mi waved his hand, "Let him go." ”
"Sir......" Wang Bodang was puzzled, "Let the tiger return to the mountain, there will be troubles in the end, now that we have killed Zhai Hong, we have been in the same water and fire with Zhai Rang, and there is no room for compromise." The gentleman is soft-hearted, and he is afraid that it will become a catastrophe. ”
Li Mi was a little tired, "Bodang, you are also tired, go and rest." ”
"Sir......" Wang Bodang admonished again.
Li Mi's expression was solemn, "You guys stand down for the time being!" ”
Wang Bodang had no choice but to retreat with Fang Xuanzao and others. Although Wang, Fang, and Cai killed Zhai Hong and Zhai Mosheng, Zhai Rang did not get rid of them, and it was inevitable that they would feel frustrated. Fang Xuanzao was preoccupied, and left first, and Cai Jiande was also silent. Wang Bodang was extremely depressed, and Jia Runfu had already come up, "General Wang, what did Duke Wei say?" ”
Wang Bodang sighed, "Duke Wei is still too soft-hearted and hesitant, and he won't let me chase and kill Zhai Rang." ”
"Then why don't I lead the army to chase?" Jia Runfu suggested.
Wang Bodang shook his head and said: "Duke Wei seems to be angry, I'm afraid I have other plans, I make my own decisions, I'm afraid that I will ruin Duke Wei's calculations." Since he said that I should let Zhai Rang go, there must be his reason, and since this is the case, we don't have to make trouble. ”
Jia Runfu slapped his fist and said, "It's a pity that we fell short." ”
Wang Bodang smiled and said: "The wind knows the strength of the grass, Runfu, you are loyal, and I will definitely tell Duke Wei about your merits in the future." ”
Jia Runfu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, General Wang." ”
The two left side by side, but they didn't notice that Li Mi flashed out from not far away, looking at the two thoughtfully.
**
After staring at the two of them for a long time, Li Mi slowly walked back to his room, he didn't seem to be as seriously injured as he appeared, and Fang Cai's cough was weak just to hide people's eyes.
Although he is the Duke of Wei, he is currently the leader of the alliance jointly promoted by bandits all over the world, but he is extremely simple. Even if he was dressed like an ordinary soldier, and robbed the jewels obtained by the county, he did not take a penny, and rewarded all the money to his subordinates, just because he was determined to be in the world and knew that any money was outside his body, and if he was as greedy for money as Zhai Rang, then he would no longer have the courage to be enterprising, and he could only hinder the great cause. But in this way, his subordinates are willing to serve him, and they are going all out in every battle. Li Mi restrained himself, simple to the point of harshness, and there was not even a single slave in the Wei Mansion, otherwise Zhai Hong would not believe that Jia Runfu would bring people to help him.
He walked alone in the courtyard of the University, came to a room, stretched out his hand and knocked a few times.
'Knock knock...... After a few bangs, a quiet voice sounded in the room, "What's the matter?" ”
The man was not arrogant or cold, but his voice was like stagnant water, and he had no respect for the mighty Li Mi.
Li Mi sneered at the corners of his mouth, and did not enter the house, but said in a deep voice: "I actually don't trust you." ”
"I don't ask you to trust me either." The man in the room replied.
The man's voice was indifferent, which could be said to be very disrespectful, but Li Mi laughed instead, "You came to help me, it was really beyond my expectations. ”
"How many things can you anticipate?" The man said indifferently: "Xiao Buyi forced you to retreat in the Huiluo area after three battles, and you can't plan from a distance, I'm afraid that he will calculate your Luokoucang next, right?" ”
Li Mi was not angry, "I started empty-handed, designed to kill Zhang Xutuo, and shocked the world, even if I got nothing, what regrets in this life?" ”
When he said the three words Zhang Xutuo, there was silence in the wooden house, and there was no more sound. Li Mi's face had a strange meaning, like emotion, like respect, and like disdain and contempt!
But although he has no regrets, it is just a battle of words, thinking that before him, although there were countless bandits, none of them could become the climate. He Li Mi's clever plan shocked the world, since him, the majesty of the Great Sui was devastated and withered, and all the bandits in the world were the only ones who looked forward, and wanted to take the eastern capital, enter the customs, and achieve a lifetime of hegemony, where did he think of the side branch, and a Xiao Buyi appeared!
The famous generals and bandits of the Great Sui Dynasty thought about it thousands of times, but he never regarded Xiao Buyi as an opponent, let alone thought that it was just a few years later, Xiao Buyi targeted his weaknesses and strangled him near Luokou, if he said that there was a regret, that is, he did not kill Xiao Buyi before he became famous, but who could have predicted this?
Now that Xiao Bu is in the Eastern Capital, not only is his martial arts not inferior, but there are many masters around him, and every time he thinks of the sword that stabbed him, Li Mi also has palpitations.
Outside the room and inside the room were as silent as death, and when Li Mi thought about it, he didn't know what to mutter in the room.
After all, it was Li Mi who broke the silence, "But although I don't believe you, I can use your place, I don't know if you can work for me." ”
"Say it." The person in the room replied.
Li Mi groaned: "Zhai Rang wants to go back to Wagang, but now Zhai Rang and I have torn our faces...... But now...... Only killed Zhai Hong. ”
The man said indifferently: "Presumably, there are a lot of Wagang people, and you can't do it in front of them, but you want to kill him by my hand in a hypocritical way?" ”
"What about you?" Li Mi said slowly: "You betrayed Zhang Xutuo, you live in the dark, like a rat crossing the street, you don't seem to be much better than me." ”
The two of them are not speculative, as if they are wary of each other, and they seem to trust each other very much, at least if someone else says such a thing, ten of them will also be slapped to death by Li Miyi. Although Li Mi was also sneering, he didn't even do anything to the people in the house.
"When are you leaving?"
"Now." Li Mi said in a deep voice: "Zhai Rang is now on the way back to Wagang, it is estimated that he will turn back in a hurry, I am afraid that I will start, if you hurry up, you should be able to block him in Queshan, there is a canyon there, but it is a good place to kill people." Shan Xiongxin will not follow him, he only has a broken arm Wang Ruxin by his side now, and it is not difficult for you to kill him. Kill Zhai Rang, I can believe that you really help me. ”
After Li Mi said this, he turned to leave, but the person in the room was holding a spear, staring at the cold light on the tip of the spear. He slammed hard, and with a 'jam' sound, the tip of the spear retracted, but the barrel of the spear had broken into two sections. With a mistake in both hands, the two barrels of the gun became a short stick.
His spear was extremely intricately crafted and unpredictable. It's just that there is a deep sadness in his eyes, and with the gun on his back, he pushes the door out. There was a horse ready at the door, he turned over on the horse, his legs clamped, the horse had 'got' to run out of Luokou, and the direction of the horse was Queshan.
Li Mi saw it from the window and muttered to himself: "What a Zhang Xutuo, although he has been dead for so long, the impact is still so far-reaching......"
**
Zhai Rang escaped for his life, and hurriedly left Luokou with hundreds of his subordinates.
The four of them went to say goodbye, but only turned around one and a half people. Wang Ruxin had a broken arm, he was not a complete person, and when he saw Zhai Mohou and Zhai Hong missing, Wang Ruxin only had one arm left, and all the people were uneasy.
But they are all ready to go, like an arrow on the string, seeing that the owner of the village is just urging people to leave, and all the people can only keep their hearts in their stomachs. Zhai Rang had already asked people to secretly send the money back to Wagang, and of course there were some luggage. Everyone pushed a few carts, and the rumbling was not fast, Shan Xiongxin sent it out from Luokou and sent it to the vicinity of Luokou Cang, and then he gave his hand and said: "The owner of the village, Luokou is tight, I can't leave without permission, and I will not be far away." ”
Zhai let the tears flow again, and immediately looked at Shan Xiongxin pitifully and said, "Xiongxin, it's better to ...... Will you send me to Wagang? ”
Shan Xiongxin frowned slightly, "This...... Since Wei Gong said that he was not to blame for the past, I don't think he should be ...... Let's talk about Luokou ......"
Zhai Rang smiled bitterly: "Xiongxin, do you remember the Wagang Red Willow?" ”
Shan Xiongxin sighed lightly, "Xiongxin can't forget it in this life." ”
Zhai Rang said with tears: "I want to gather righteousness in Wagang back then, and I have your help, so I have the momentum of the day." The five tigers of Wagang are famous, and they are all brothers and sisters with me. But Zhang Tong'er died early, Chen Zhiluo's whereabouts are unknown, and Bing Yuanzhen ...... Alas, don't mention it. Among the five tigers in Wagang, I am most optimistic about Xiongxin you and Shiji. But Shiji went to Xiangyang again, and now the red willows have long been surrounded by each other, but I am the only one under the willows, and I don't know yet...... Will I ever be able to go back to the Red Willow alive! ”
Speaking of this, Zhai Rang's tears were like the Yellow River overflowing, out of control, Shan Xiong Nobu sighed, "The owner of the village, I will send you back, but Wei Gong treats me well, after I return to Wagang, I still have to come back to help, I can't bear to leave." ”
Zhai Rang was overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "Xiongxin, as long as you send me to Wagang, I will never forget such great kindness." Shan Xiongxin shook his head with a wry smile, but he had already beckoned the soldier and told him to go back and inform Duke Wei. Shan Xiongxin seems to be reckless, but he is rough and detailed, and he said in his heart that if he doesn't say hello, he is afraid that Li Mizhen will think that he will not turn back. Zhai Rang has the grace of knowing him, and Li Mi is not bad for him, seeing that Li Mi and Zhai Rang are in the same situation, he is also in a dilemma.
Everyone rushed eastward, Zhai let Shan Xiongxin help, his heart was a little settled, he frowned along the way, he only thought that he was familiar with the terrain after Wagang, and he was about to go to Liyang to join Li Jing, and he didn't delay any longer.
Zhai Rang's heart was anxious, urging the horse very fast, but the cart was not very fast, and when he was about to reach Queshan, he only heard the sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him. Zhai Rang was startled, hurriedly reined in the horse, Shan Xiongxin immediately looked back with a lance, and saw a horse galloping like a storm in the distance, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
Zhai Rang flashed behind Shan Xiongxin early, and Le Ma stopped on the side of the road, his face pale.
Originally, they were bandits, and it was a good thing not to rob others, but now Zhai Rang is trembling and has long lost the courage he had back then.
The horse was momentarily beside them, but did not stop, but galloped by, and immediately the man lay on the horse's back, wearing a felt hat, and suppressed half of his face, so that it was impossible to see his face.
After the man passed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhai Rang felt a little relieved when he saw that the man was not here for himself. Everyone continued to set off, in front of which is the mouth of the Queshan Canyon, after passing through Xingyang and Xingze, crossing the canal is the boundary of Wagangzhai. Wang Ruxin saw that Zhai Rang was nervous, and comforted him in a low voice: "The owner of the village, I think they want to put us to death, most of them can already succeed in Luokou, we are in such a hurry, they are afraid that they will not be able to catch up." Again...... This is also the area of Wagang, even if Wang Bodang has a thief's heart, I am afraid he will not do it. ”
Zhai Rang felt a little relieved in his heart, "What Confucianism said is also true. ”
Shan Xiongxin frowned slightly and said, "How do I feel that person seems to be an acquaintance?" ”
"Who is it?" Zhai Rang asked nervously.
Shan Xiongxin shook his head and said, "I can't remember which one it is for a while!" ”
As the people were talking, they were close to the valley, and they walked into the valley with the rumbling of the chariot, and suddenly an ox cart appeared on the opposite side, which was full of dry firewood, and a woodcutter brought a felt hat and drove the old ox with an axe, shouting and urging the old ox forward. The woodcutter has a gray beard and looks not young.
Hundreds of bandits sulked in their stomachs, and finally shouted loudly at this moment, "Get out!" ”
When the woodcutter suddenly saw so many bandits coming from the opposite side, he turned pale with fright and fell to the ground. Zhai Rang escaped death, not wanting to cause more trouble, so he hurriedly drank to stop his subordinates. Seeing this, the woodcutter hurriedly drove the ox cart to the side.
The valley road is not wide, Shan Xiongxin urged the horse forward, Zhai Rang followed closely behind, Wang Ruxin followed, and hundreds of bandits drove the cart behind. Shan Xiongxin looked into the distance, and when he was urging the horse to pass by the ox cart, he suddenly snorted coldly, and the long lance swayed, and he had already stabbed at the woodcutter!
**
Shan Xiongxin's move was not easy, even Zhai Rang was surprised.
Everyone knows that although Shan Xiongxin is a bandit, he is not a murderer, and he is really not in line with his surname at this moment.
The woodcutter was trembling, but when he saw Shan Xiongxin stabbing at him, he screamed, wanting to dodge, but his legs were a little weak, but how could he dodge? The woodcutter fell to the ground softly, and he would never have been able to avoid Shan Xiongxin's long lance, but he didn't expect Shan Xiongxin to snort coldly and stop the long lance.
This time from the thunder to the quiet like a virgin, it is really a very strong arm, if the bandits are not preoccupied, they would have applauded. Zhai Rang hurriedly said: "Xiongxin, why did you kill him?" ”
Shan Xiongxin frowned and said: "Now in the wilderness, the rebel army is rampant, how can there be woodcutters?" ”
The woodcutter was so frightened that he couldn't stand steadily, and Zhai Rang explained, "This man may live on a nearby mountain." ”
Shan Xiongxin saw that the woodcutter didn't look like a fake, and he almost pierced him with a lance, this person's flustered behavior was no different from that of an ordinary woodcutter, presumably because he was too careful. Thinking of this, Shan Xiongxin took back the lance and urged the horse forward, but he couldn't help but glance at the woodcutter, and when he saw him stunned like a wooden chicken, he slowly shook his head.
It's just that the horse has only walked a few steps, and suddenly there are two 'gurgling' sounds, Shan Xiongxin has already been alert, his heart is awe-inspiring, he turned his head to look over, only to see that the wheel has been broken, and the big firewood cart actually flew up and smashed it at him!
The big cart with firewood and the car, weighing a thousand catties, suddenly flew up, which was really weird. Before the car arrived, Chai He had already crackled and called, and the tiger was vigorous.
Shan Xiongxin shouted, before he could urge the horse, he had already flown out of the horse diagonally, Chai He and the cart smashed heavily on his horse's back, the horse neighed sadly, knelt on all fours, and was stoned to death!
Under the ox cart, there was a person Huo Ran flashed out, with both hands behind his back, he had taken a short stick in his hand, his arms soared, and he pulled and buckled to form a spear, and his toes were a little bit, like thunder, like lightning rushed towards Zhai Rang.
Shan Xiongxin's talent landed, Huo Ran saw it, and said in a lost voice: "Luo Shixin?!" ”
**
Shan Xiongxin's voice was full of disbelief and discrepancies, Huo Ran woke up, and then remembered who the person who had just galloped by. He saw that the person's back was a little familiar, but he was just thinking about which one of Wagang was from, but he didn't contact Luo Shixin under Zhang Xutuo's account.
Zhang Xutuo encircled and expelled Wagang many times, Shan Xiongxin also knew Luo Shixin for a long time, and the back just felt familiar, and now when he saw his face, although he noticed that his face was withered and quite thin, he still recognized the enemy of life and death at a glance!
How could Luo Shixin be ambushed here, and why did he come to kill the owner of the village? Shan Xiongxin couldn't figure it out, but he was quite far away from Zhai Rang, and he couldn't rescue him.
The person in the room who talked to Li Mi was, of course, Luo Shixin!
Luo Shixin urged the horse to hurry up, and soon caught up with Zhai Rang, but immediately found that the news given by Li Mi was wrong, because Shan Xiongxin was also there! He knew that Shan Xiongxin's martial arts were not weak, and with hundreds of bandits, he might not be able to succeed in one blow, so he didn't make a move, and went straight to the valley. When he saw a woodcutter driving an ox cart coming, he waited for an opportunity to hide under the ox cart.
Luo Shixin's martial arts are clever, the woodcutter is unaware, Shan Xiongxin is tempted, and his suspicions are gone, but where did he think that there is no problem with the woodcutter, but there is a deadly killing machine hidden under the ox cart!
Luo Shixin shook off the wheel, exerted his divine strength, and smashed the ox cart towards Shan Xiongxin, knowing that he might not be able to hurt Shan Xiongxin, he just wanted to stop him for a moment, but he went all out to kill Zhai Rang.
The cold light on the tip of the gun flickered, and Zhai Rang was shocked and had already fallen off the horse. Wang Ruxin saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly urged the horse to come, Zhai let the life and death moment, the action was fast, and he had flashed to Wang Ruxin's horse side, wanting to borrow the horse to block for a moment.
When Luo Shixin arrived at the gun, a shot pierced the horse's belly, and the spear took off his hand and penetrated the horse's belly, and it had already pierced Zhai Rang's face!
Zhai Rang didn't expect Luo Shixin's move to be so fierce, he was dumbfounded, and he was about to be pierced through the chest by the spear, and with a loud bang, an arrow came sharply, hitting the spear. The spear flew out diagonally, piercing Zhai Rang's thigh and pinning him to the ground. Shan Xiongxin couldn't help but look in the direction where the long arrow was fired, and saw a person standing in the wind, holding a longbow, majestic, and said in a lost voice: "Xiao Buyi?!" ”
