Seeing the raging fire in the city guard's mansion, everyone present felt that Wei Hu and the withered sheep had died inside, and there was no possibility of survival.

At least Xu Chang, the general of the Taiping Army of Niuzhu, thought so, recalling that the withered sheep had treated them well, Xu Chang sighed in his heart, with tears in his eyes, kneeling on the ground and slamming the ground with his right hand.

As for his vicinity, the three Taiping armies of the Niu Zhu Army, the Jinling Army, and the Weizhuang Army are still fighting chaotically, because it is the Niu Zhu Army and the Weizhuang Army that join forces to fight the Jinling Army, so that the situation of Wang Wei, the general of the Jinling Taiping Army, is precarious.

And at this moment, in the collapsed half of the portal of the castle guard's mansion, a figure flashed out, stood on the ground with both feet, and shouted in a deep voice, "Give it all to me...... Stop it! ”

The familiar voice made Xu Chang subconsciously raise his head, and immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Handsome?" The soldiers of the Niu Zhu army were surprised and delighted.

"Withered sheep?" Wang Wei's face changed slightly.

"Withered ...... Withered sheep ......" Zhao Cheng's eyes flashed with a little fear.

Yes, the one who broke out of the sea of fire and appeared in front of everyone was the commander of the Niu Zhu Army, the last of the six gods, and the withered sheep of the Tianshu God, only to see that the whole body at this time was blackened by the smoke and fire, holding Wei Hu's already cold corpse in his arms, although the whole person seemed to be embarrassed, but there was a faint kind of inexplicable oppression, shocked Zhao Cheng had no intention of fighting with Wang Wei, and tried every means to escape quietly, but he was surrounded by the Jinling Army and the Niu Zhu Army, and it was difficult to get out for a while.

"Handsome?" Xu Chang, who was pleasantly surprised, came to the withered sheep in a few steps, knocked on the ground and hugged his fists and said, "Congratulations to the handsome man for getting out ......of trouble, and the last general is very lucky."

There was no time to care about Xu Chang's words, the withered sheep nodded, and asked in a deep voice, "Xu Chang, what's going on with the fighting in the city?" ――Which two sides are fighting? Could it be Zhou Jun? ”

"This ......" Seeing the withered sheep ask about this, Xu Chang's face was a little embarrassed. stepped forward and told the withered sheep about the matter as it was, only to hear the withered sheep's eyes were angry and his face was blue.

You must know that Wang Jian, Zhang Feng, Xu Chang and others can't see through Wei Zhuang's tricks, but it doesn't mean that he can't see through the withered sheep. This time it must have been Wei Zhuang who instigated behind his back, causing the Niu Zhu Army and the Jinling Army to be both branches of the Taiping Army, but they fought in the same room and killed each other, and even caused his brother Wei Hu to die......

[Weizhuang ......]

The iron-faced withered sheep cursed through gritted teeth. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Cheng who seemed to be deliberately retreating behind the soldier, so as to hide his figure and escape. He snorted coldly and shouted, "Xu Chang, take down Zhao Cheng!" ”

"Yes!" Full of surprise, Xu Chang subconsciously clenched his fists to receive his orders, but when he stood up and was about to fulfill his commander's order, he was stunned.

[What?] Didn't you take down Wang Wei? But to take Zhao Cheng? ]

Stunned for a moment, Xu Chang hesitated to explain, "Dashuai." Lord Wei Zhuang and General Zhao Cheng volunteered to help our army this time...... If it weren't for their help, our army might not be able to save the commander from his predicament......" Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that the escape of the withered sheep had nothing to do with their rescue, and his face suddenly turned red and he was speechless.

"Take down Zhao Cheng! - Xu Chang, why don't you obey the orders of the commander?! The withered sheep shouted in a deep voice again, "Wang Wei, this handsome man orders you and Xu Chang to take down Zhao Cheng immediately!" ”

Wang Wei's face changed slightly when he heard this. In fact, when he saw the withered sheep rushing out of the already burning castle guarding mansion with the corpse of his family Wei Hu in his arms, he already realized in his heart that something might be wrong with the whole thing.

[Could it be that the handsome man pointed to the direction of the city guard, but he actually asked me to save the dead sheep?] ]

Wang Wei, who was in a state of flux, remembered that Wei Hu was obviously incurable but still wanted to rush to the city guard.

[Even if you know that you are dead, do you want to rescue the withered sheep, Dashuai?] ]

Because it was the scene when he witnessed Wei Hu resolutely rushing into the sea of fire despite himself. Only then did Wang Wei realize that perhaps his handsome Wei Hu and Niu Zhujun coach Withered Sheep did have a brotherhood between the two that ordinary people could not understand and understand.

"What's the plan? Zhao Cheng! ”

Taking a step to the left, Wang Wei happened to block Zhao Cheng's retreat that he was planning to escape. Seeing the panicked expression on Zhao Cheng's face, Wang Wei secretly let out a bad breath in his heart. It's no wonder, after all, Zhao Cheng really forced him into a desperate situation with the help of many Niu Zhu soldiers, and now, Niu Zhu's soldiers are on standby under the order of the withered sheep, how can Zhao Cheng's hundreds of soldiers under him be able to defeat him?

"......" glanced at Wang Wei in surprise, Xu Chang also obeyed the order of the withered sheep, led the troops to block the other side of Zhao Cheng's retreat, and cooperated with the Jinling Taiping Army, which was still the enemy, to surround Zhao Cheng and hundreds of soldiers under his command from afar.

Maybe Xu Chang and Wang Wei both have an indescribable subtle feeling in their hearts, who would have thought that Niu Zhu Army and Jinling Army, who were still fighting, would join forces to capture a person at this moment.

Facing Xu Chang and Wang Wei, Zhao Cheng finally chose to surrender after several unsuccessful breakthroughs. The hundreds of people under his command were all disarmed by the Jinling Army and the Niu Zhu Army, and he himself was held hostage by Xu Chang and Wang Wei and came to the withered sheep.

"Withered ...... The withered sheep handsome is well......" reluctantly showed a little smile, Zhao Cheng clasped his hands into fists and took the lead in saying with good words, "Seeing that the withered sheep handsome is safe and sound, the last general is very fortunate, the so-called auspicious people have their own natural appearance, and it is said that the withered sheep is handsome, you ......."

At this time, the withered sheep had already placed Wei Hu's body on the ground in front of him, and he himself sat on the ground, staring at the former good brother for a long time with blank and sad eyes, the brother who had clearly stepped into the ghost gate with one foot, but also gritted his teeth and persevered, insisting on the life and death brother who rescued his withered sheep from the sea of fire.

Such a close friend, even if you spend your whole life, how many can you meet?

[Hu......]

The withered sheep sighed slightly, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he couldn't help but think of Wei Hu's face before he died, the kind of smile that seemed to be granted.

To be honest, Wei Hu's smile made the withered sheep feel inexplicably guilty, after all, it was not difficult to see that Wei Hu did regard his withered sheep as a brother of life and death who could rely on each other, and when the form was not good, he would come to save him regardless of himself.

Otherwise, Wei Hu did break his promise and revealed the relationship between his withered sheep and his brother-in-law Xie An to Wu Heng, the fourth commander of the Taiping Army. Because of this incident, the withered sheep was lukewarm to Wei Hu after entering Jinling, and now that he thinks about it, the withered sheep is very remorseful.

He didn't even have time to say a word of gratitude to Wei Hu, who passed away with a smile.

"Da Shuai ......" saw the withered sheep staring at Wei Hu's remains motionless. Xu Chang knew that his coach was distracted, and reminded him in a low voice.

"Huh?" Xu Chang reminded him that the withered sheep came back to his senses in his thoughts, and when he saw that Zhao Cheng had knelt in front of him under the hostage of Xu Chang and Wang Wei, his face suddenly sank.

"Zhao Cheng, are you guilty?"

Zhao Cheng couldn't help but be a little depressed, after all, he hadn't heard all the kind words he had just said. Wasting words and tongues in vain.

"The withered sheep is handsome, and the last general is ...... The last general really doesn't know why he was guilty......"

"I don't know why I was convicted?" The withered sheep sneered, his eyes flashed, and he said coldly, "Since you are not guilty, you just saw Ben Shuai." Why do you want to flee with your back? ――Isn't there a ghost in your heart that you don't dare to face Ben Shuai? ”

"Wronged, wronged, withered sheep!" When Zhao Cheng heard this, he shouted injustice again and again, and said with a wry smile, "The last general is just happy that the withered sheep are out of trouble, and he is eager to tell Lord Weizhuang about this happy event...... The withered sheep is handsome, I don't know. Lord Wei Zhuang was also quite concerned about the fact that the marshal was detained by Wei Hu, and assisted the three generals Wang, Zhang, and Xu to rescue the marshal......"

"Tell Wei Zhuang about this happy event? ――Are you in a hurry to tell him that his treacherous plan has not yet succeeded and that Ben Shuai is not dead?! Interrupting Zhao Cheng's words, the withered sheep asked coldly.

Looking at the cold eyes of the withered sheep, Zhao Cheng felt a chill from the bottom of his heart, and said in a frightened voice, "Why does the withered sheep think like this? It's really wronged, it's a great wrong......"

The withered sheep glanced Zhao Cheng up and down. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said in a deep voice, "The one who set fire to Ben Shuai in the city guard mansion to burn Ben Shuai is you, right?" ”

Zhao Cheng's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

[I see!] No wonder the city guard mansion caught fire inexplicably, it turned out that this guy set the fire, planning to burn the dead sheep and blame my Jinling army...... In other words. Is the whole thing that Wei Zhuang is sowing discord behind his back, causing the Niu Zhu army and my Jinling army to kill each other? ]

Glancing at Zhao Cheng, Wang Wei's ground was pale, and his fists only crunched and creaked.

Including him Wang Wei, they originally thought that the rebellion of the Niu Zhu Army was the meaning of withered sheep. In other words, it was caused by Wang Jian, Zhang Feng, and Xu Changsan's intention to rescue their coach, but they didn't expect that both of them were played by Wei Zhuang and applauded.

"As a general of my Taiping Army, you should know what kind of punishment will be given to traitors who chew their tongues and sow discord, right?" Looking at Zhao Cheng with a cold expression, the withered sheep said word by word.

Hearing that, Zhao Cheng unconsciously shuddered.

Those who chew the root of the tongue and sow discord will pull out the tongue!

Those who commit the following offenses will have their thumbs broken!

Those who betray their brothers, cut off their index fingers!

Rebels rebel and betray the Taiping army, peel off their faces!

Compared with these tortures, it is a more merciful criminal law to show the head to the public, after all, at least a whole corpse should be left.

Thinking that he was going to be subjected to all kinds of cruel criminal laws, even if it was Zhao Cheng, a general who was born and died on the battlefield, he didn't feel shocked and frightened.

Frightened and inexplicable, Zhao Cheng, who was facing the withered sheep's repeated questioning, could no longer maintain his normal heart, and begged while telling what Wei Zhuang had told him to do, only to hear Xu Chang and Wang Wei's two generals furious.

"What do you say? Zhang Feng was killed by you and others?! ”

Picking up Zhao Cheng's clothes, Xu Chang asked angrily.

Seeing the Niu Zhu soldiers around him who were eyeing him, Zhao Cheng swallowed his saliva and quickly explained, "General Xu Chang is angry, General Zhang Feng was killed by Lord Weizhuang...... No, no, he was killed by the traitor Wei Zhuang. ――As far as the criminal general knows, Wei Zhuang secretly killed General Zhang Feng by secretly firing a cold arrow while the commander of Wei Hu was talking to General Zhang Feng, and blamed the crime on the head of the commander Wei Hu and the Jinling army......"

"Despicable and shameless!" Wang Wei rebuked angrily.

"Yes, yes, despicable, despicable......" Zhao Cheng kowtowed and begged for mercy. It is no wonder that not everyone is as tough as Liao Li and Wei Hu, and besides, the criminal law of the Taiping Army to deal with traitors deliberately proposed by Withered Yang is far beyond the scope that Zhao Cheng can bear.

"I'll kill you!" The more he looked at it, the more angry Xu Chang pulled out his sword suddenly, as if he wanted to kill Zhao Cheng, but was stopped by Wang Wei reaching out.

"Just kill him like that, it's too cheap for him! ――If you don't mind, please ask the Withered Sheep Marshal and General Xu Chang to hand over this villain to the last general......" When Wang Wei said this, the tiger's eyes shone with a penetrating cold glow, and he could only see Zhao Cheng's face as earthy.

Compared with Xu Chang and Wang Wei, the withered sheep's demeanor was obviously much calmer, after all, he had already vented once when Wei Hu died.

"Wang Wei. You put this guy in prison for the time being, I don't have time to pay attention to him!" -- The top priority is to prevent the Jinling army and the Niuzhu army from killing each other in the city! ”

Wang Wei's face was straight when he heard this, and he hurriedly clenched his fists to receive his life, and immediately, he was stunned, and looked at the body of the head coach Wei Hu on the ground with a somewhat complicated expression.

"Dashuai...... Before the handsome died. Did you say anything? As he spoke, Wang Wei peeked at the look of the withered sheep.

As if he had seen through Wang Wei's thoughts, the withered sheep chuckled lightly and said lightly, "Ah Hu...... Wei Hu had entrusted your Jinling Army to me before he died, do you think I would say that? ”

Wang Wei, who was guessed by the withered sheep, suddenly blushed and red-eared. After thinking for a while, he suddenly gritted his teeth, clenched his fists on the ground and said, "The last general is willing to obey the command of the withered sheep commander!" ”

Next to him, Xu Chang was stunned when he heard this, because he inferred from Wang Wei's words that the latter seemed to want to switch to his coach......

A blessing in disguise? In turn, the Jinling Army was co-opted?

This thought, which surprised Xu Chang, only stopped in his head for a moment. was left behind by him, after all, if this kind of thing was spoken, not only Wang Wei would be furious, but even the withered sheep would most likely reprimand him.

"Xu Chang, Wang Wei obeys orders!" Standing up slowly, the withered sheep said in a deep voice, "Wang Wei, you immediately notify the whole army in my name. ordered the Jinling Army and the Niuzhu Army to immediately lay down their arms and stop the senseless fratricidal killing; Xu Chang, you immediately go to the West City Gate and inform the commander that he has been out of trouble and the order issued by the commander, and tell him to be on guard if the Zhou army will take advantage of the situation! ――In my opinion, my brother-in-law Xie An's soldiers are probably only more than ten miles away from Jinling, if you learn about the changes in Jinling City. Most of them will ask the generals under their command to lead the army to take advantage of the weakness! At the moment, even if the Niu Zhu Army and the Jinling Army are tied together, they are not the opponents of the Zhou soldiers, and the Zhou soldiers must not be asked to attack the city......

Xu Chang was stunned when he heard this. After all, as far as he knew, the marshal of his own family who was defeated in the agreement with his brother-in-law Xie An in front of him should follow the previous agreement with his brother-in-law and raise troops to surrender to Zhou Guo. Even, even their three generals obeyed Wei Zhuang's treacherous conspiracy because of this, and planned to take refuge in the Zhou army after rescuing the withered sheep, but they didn't expect that the withered sheep had no intention of defecting to the Zhou army.

[What the hell is the big boss thinking?] ]

Xu Chang was puzzled, but he didn't dare to say more, so he had to go with Wang Wei to take the order.

What exactly does the withered sheep want to do? Perhaps even the withered sheep themselves don't know what they're doing.

According to the previous agreement with his brother-in-law Xie An, he should admit defeat and raise troops to surrender to Zhou Jun, but seeing his good brother Wei Hu breathing in his arms, he didn't dare to take refuge in Zhou Jun's idea.

Because his life was saved by Wei Hu's sacrifice, and Wei Hu was loyal to the Taiping Army and Wu Heng before his death, although Wei Hu did not leave half a last word before he died, but ......

[If I raise my troops to surrender to my brother-in-law, I think you will feel chills underground...... Ahu? ]

Raising his head and glancing at the night, the withered sheep shook his head with a wry smile. In fact, even he felt lost and didn't know what to do.

But there's one thing he's never confused!

[Before thinking about the future, Brother Rong I killed Nawei Zhuang to comfort your spirit in the sky!] - Wait for me, Ah Hu, I will take the head of Weizhuang to pay tribute to you! ]

Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of the withered sheep, and he shouted, "Niu Zhu Army and Jinling Army listen to the order, follow me to kill the traitor Wei Zhuang, no matter life or death!" ”

The Niu Zhu army obeyed the orders of their own commander, and the Jinling soldiers seemed to hesitate, but because they also listened to Fang Cai's words, they understood that the reason why they would kill each other with their brothers, that is, the Niu Zhu army, was because Wei Zhuang was stirring up trouble behind his back, so the Jinling soldiers were also willing to obey the orders of the withered sheep.

So, after leaving a group of people to guard Wei Hu's body, the withered sheep took many mixed soldiers all over the city to look for Wei Zhuang, looking at his murderous appearance, as if he was going to break Wei Zhuang's corpse into ten thousand pieces.

But unfortunately, what happened here was reported to the commander Wei Zhuang by the soldiers of Wei Zhuang who had already escaped by luck, including the fact that his army general Zhao Cheng had been detained by a withered sheep.

"What? Didn't the dead sheep die? ――Not only did he not die, but he also took over the military power of the Jinling Army? ”

A moment later, when Wei Zhuang learned from those soldiers about the accident that happened in the city guard's mansion, he was shocked and surprised. After all, according to the soldiers. It was none other than Wei Hu, who had been pierced through the chest by his sword.

A half-dead man, who was obviously dying, not only persevered in walking for a mile or two, but also rushed into the sea of fire to save the withered sheep...... How is this possible?!

It's no wonder Wei Zhuang couldn't believe it, after all, Wei Hu at that time was even a problem to stand, and it was hard to imagine that this person had this kind of willpower.

I have to say that Wei Zhuang underestimated Wei Hu's willpower.

[Damn!] I knew it was so. Cut off his head! ]

Wei Zhuang was full of regret in his heart, he wanted to make Wei Hu suffer a lot before he died, God knows where that guy got such strong willpower, so that now he Wei Zhuang was forced to an absolutely disadvantageous position.

[It is not advisable to stay here for a long time......]

Wei Zhuang's heart sprouted the idea of retreating, after all, if he waited for the withered sheep to arrive, he would explain everything to the Niu Zhu army and the Jinling army. After resolving the hostility between the two armies, then the current contradictions and hatred between the two armies will be transferred to him Wei Zhuang, who said that he Wei Zhuang planned all this behind his back?

You must know that if the withered sheep and Wei Hu die together, then he Wei Zhuang can naturally stand up and resolve the grievances between the two armies as a peacemaker. And find a way to take both armies into the bag. However, now that the withered sheep is not dead, naturally, it will not be his turn to defend the village with such good things, after all, the withered sheep is more convincing than him.

[Falling short...... It's exciting! ]

Annoyed in his heart, Wei Zhuang immediately retreated, wanting to escape from Jinling before the withered sheep found him.

Suddenly, Wei Zhuang's footsteps stopped, because at the corner of the street in front of him, there was a general who he was very familiar with.

"What a coincidence...... The heavenly general on the left. Wei Zhuang! The general's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

At the same time, the panicked shouts of the Niu Zhu army and the Jinling soldiers came from all around.

Zhou Jun...... The Zhou army has entered the city! ”

His ears were filled with the panicked shouts of the Niu Zhu army and the Jinling soldiers, Wei Zhuang swallowed his saliva, and his head couldn't help but ooze a little cold sweat.

[Why is this guy here?] ――General Jizhou Bing, Liao Li! ]

If Wei Zhuang was only afraid that the latter would be unfavorable to him after gathering Niu Zhu's army, then for Liao Li, Wei Zhuang was frightened by Liao Li's own strength. And no wonder. After all, just a while ago, he almost died in the hands of Liao Li.

[Damn!] Who was so bold as to put Zhou soldiers into the city...... Could it be Wang Jian of Niu Zhujun? - It must be him! Only he was at the West Gate ......]

After scolding Wang Jian in his heart, Wei Zhuang immediately turned around. Intended to flee from the other direction. After all, a few days ago, Liao Li's strength really scared him a lot.

However, just as he turned around, a Zhou soldier appeared in the direction he came from, and the Zhou general who led the army was staring at him with a hostile gaze that Wei Zhuang could not understand.

There is no doubt that in addition to Liao Li, the only one who hated Wei Zhuang so much in the Zhou soldiers was probably one of the few friends Qi Zhi made in the Zhou army during his lifetime, the former general of the Great Liang Army and the current general of the Jizhou Army, Cheng Yang.

The so-called karma is not unreasonable, before Wei Zhuang led people in the alley to block Wei Hu, this time it was his turn Wei Zhuang was intercepted by the two generals of the Zhou soldiers.

[Now...... Trouble! ]

Seeing Liao Li put down his horse and slowly walked towards him, Wei Zhuang's heart was dead.

Fighting with strength, Wei Zhuang didn't think that he would be Liao Li's opponent, you must know that since that fight, Wei Zhuang realized that Liao Li was better than him in every aspect; As for the breakout......

Wei Zhuang knew very well that the reason why he was able to escape from Liao Li's hands last time was because Liao Li was not attracted by something in the north at that time, so he didn't notice that he turned his horse and fled.

Thinking about it now, this Liao Li may have noticed Wei Hu, the Wei Hu who led his troops to rescue the withered sheep.

Relying on intuition alone to be able to detect something wrong for several miles or even more than ten miles away, this kind of unbelievable wild intuition, which is what a military general dreams of, unexpectedly, Zhou Jun met one.

[Since the belly and back are enemy, then ......]

Wei Zhuang subconsciously looked up at the houses and pavilions on both sides of the street, with his good martial arts, it was not impossible for him Wei Zhuang to climb those buildings and escape.

Suddenly, Wei Zhuang's pupils shrank, because he saw rows of black-clothed assassins standing on the roofs of wooden houses and buildings on both sides of the street, holding all kinds of blades, looking at him coldly.

The first person, dressed in the costume of a Niu Zhu sergeant, played with the strange-looking blade in his hand. Although he was wearing the armor of a soldier of Niu Zhu, the pressure that this person brought to Wei Zhuang was even stronger than that of Liao Li.

"Do you want to help, General Liao Li?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but forget it...... This person is also the person I Liao Li must kill! ”

"Oh, that's ......"
