Chen Deng said goodbye to Tao Qian, went out of the state pastoral mansion, thinking about Tao Qian's serious illness this time, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive this pass, and he must have come to Liu Zelai to discuss the matter of Xuzhou, so he did not dare to delay for half a minute, and immediately took more than a dozen entourages, rode fast horses, and went out of the west gate of Tancheng, hoping that Xiaopei galloped away.

Tao Qian had made it clear that after a hundred years, he would give up the position of state pastor to Liu Ze, and now when he was seriously ill and dying, he would definitely not have anything else to do if he passed Liu Ze over. But Chen Deng's only worry is Liu Ze's attitude, if he wants to be like the previous two times, he will not accept it, if the position of Xuzhou pastor is allowed to be sat by others, Liu Ze may really have no chance to enter Xuzhou, so this time Chen Deng is determined to persuade Liu Ze to accept the position of state pastor. He walked all the way, thinking about the wording all the way, thinking about how to persuade Liu Ze.

Just after Lanling, passing through a dense forest, Chen Deng didn't know how many times he had walked on this road, and he didn't care at all, so he walked straight. Suddenly, an arrow shot out of the dense forest, and shot towards Chen Deng from the side front.

Chen Deng is a literati and a Confucian scholar, although the literati of the Han Dynasty have the atmosphere of practicing martial arts and practicing swords, but he and the generals who really fight on the battlefield are still very different in martial arts and impromptu response, although he also saw the arrows that came quickly, he couldn't help but be surprised, but he didn't know how to dodge on horseback, and he was at a loss for a while.

The entourage next to him was all the henchmen of the Chen family, and at the critical moment, a family member desperately blocked in front of Chen Deng, and an arrow hit him in the chest, screaming, and fell from the galloping horse.

Before Chen Deng and the others could react, dozens of horses were killed in the dense forest. They were all dressed in black, with black scarves and masks, showing bright knives and guns, blocking the way of Chen Deng and the others.

Chen Deng and the others had no choice but to restrain their horses and draw their swords, and the entourage was led by Chen Fu, the steward of the Chen family, who was escorted in front of Chen Deng and shouted: "Bold thief!" The master of my family is Master Chen, the captain of the Xuzhou Diannong School, and the acquaintance should quickly give way, otherwise the officers and soldiers will come and kill them, and they will not leave a piece of armor! "He apparently took the masked men for ordinary robbers.

One of the masked men smiled and said, "Chen Deng, right." That's what we've been waiting for! Heaven has a way you don't go. Hell has no door to enter! Make a note of yourself, and next year today will be your death day! ”

Chen Deng held his sword in his hand, secretly thinking to himself, these masked robbers were definitely not ordinary robbers. It must have been sent by the enemy. But Chen Deng is humble and frugal. In Xuzhou City, there is no enemy who has to put him to death. Chen Deng was suddenly shocked to realize that these masked assassins had nothing to do with the purpose of his trip. Tao Qian let Xuzhou, there are many unwilling officials in Xuzhou, and the killer is ambushed halfway, as long as he gets rid of himself, no one will send a letter to Liu Ze, with Tao Qian's condition, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it for a few days, as long as Liu Ze arrives, Tao Qian's life is whimpering, this Xuzhou will definitely no longer be Liu Ze's.

So vicious! So insidious! Chen Deng couldn't help but curse in his heart, but who sent these assassins? He didn't know that there were too many people in Xuzhou who wanted to prevent Liu Ze from taking the throne, the two sons of the Tao family, the Mi Zhu Mifang brothers, and the school captain Cao Bao, the former captain Cao Hong, etc., these people are all possible!

But the situation in front of him did not allow Chen Deng to think about it anymore, these assassins were not good, and they had to take their own lives. It is not a pity to die, but if Liu Ze misses the position of Xuzhou Prefecture Pastor because of this, it is a great loss for millions of people in Xuzhou, and the tragedy of Cao Cao's slaughter of the five counties is very likely to be repeated.

In any case, this situation cannot occur, Chen Deng's mind was very firm in a moment, and he said to the steward Chen Fu: "Chen Fu, the target of these people is me, when the fight is for a while, you take the opportunity to kill a bloody road, rush to Xiaopei, and report the news of Tao Zhijun's serious illness to Duke Runde, please don't have to rush to Tancheng overnight!" "Among these family members, Chen Fu is the best, and there is nothing to say about his loyalty, so Chen Deng dared to give him this most important task.

Chen Fu said eagerly: "The master must not, the master is the body of ten thousand gold, I am not sorry to wait for death, I must protect the master to fight a bloody way!" ”

Chen Deng hurriedly said: "Chen Fu, this matter is very important, there must be no mistakes, you are good at martial arts, you will definitely be able to fight your way out of the encirclement, no matter what, you must pass the news to Runde Gong!" ”

"No way!" Chen Fu said categorically, "Only Chen Fu is still alive, and the master must not be allowed to lose, the lord leaves quickly, and we will stop the assassin." Saying that, Chen Fu said to the other family members: "The master is as kind to us as a mountain, today is the time to repay the master with death, and I am not afraid of death." He shouted, slapped his sword, and charged at the masked assassin.

None of those family members flinched, and followed Chen Fu to pounce.

The leader of the assassins looked gloomy, snorted coldly, and said, "Look for death!" Kill me! Don't let go of a single one! The masked assassins swarmed up and fought with the Chen family.

The assassins originally had the advantage of numbers, and they were decisive and ruthless, obviously they were all strong in martial arts, how could the family members of the Chen Mansion be opponents, as soon as Fang clashed, they were surrounded by the assassins, and many family members were killed under the horse.

Chen Fu had the highest martial arts, cut off an assassin from his horse with a single sword, and shouted at Chen Deng, who was still stunned: "Master, go away!" ”

Chen Deng originally wanted to step forward to help in the battle, but he thought that he was just a scribe, and what he held in his hand was only the literati sword that the scribes used to decorate the façade, how could he fight against the fierce assassins, but watching his men fall one by one, Chen Deng was burning again, and he didn't know what to do. At this time, Chen Fu's voice woke him up, and he suddenly realized that he hurriedly slapped his horse and left.

When the leader of the assassins saw this, he shouted, "Chen Dengxiu is gone!" Abandoning the fighting family, the fast horse chased after Chen Deng. Chen Fu saw that it was not good, and slashed another assassin off his horse with a single sword, and chased after the assassin leader.

It may be that Chen Deng's horse is not as fast as the Assassin Leader's horse, or perhaps Chen Deng's control skills are not as superb as the Assassin Leader, but after a few dozen breaths of kung fu, the Assassin Leader has already caught up with him. The leader of the assassins sneered gloomily, "Chen Deng, look where you are fleeing!" He raised the ring head knife and slashed at Chen Deng's back.

Chen Deng's soul was shattered, and he waved the sword in his hand to block, only to hear a clatter, and the slender literati sword was cut in two by the Assassin leader's ring-headed broadsword.

The leader of the assassins smirked and said, "Chen Deng! Your time of death is near, take your life! "I swung my knife a second time and slashed it down.

Chen Deng had no parry weapon in his hand, and sighed: "My life is at rest!" Seeing that the ring-headed knife was about to slash at Chen Deng's body, but seeing that the big knife hung down weakly, the assassin leader's body trembled, and when he looked down, a sharp knife had pierced out of his chest, and blood was gushing, he snorted and fell directly from the horse.

That is, the leader of the assassins was a little carried away, and his mind was on Chen Deng's body, and he didn't expect that there would be someone behind him who would dare to attack him. And the person who attacked him was Chen Fu, Chen Fu was not as fast as the assassin leader's horse, seeing that he had already chased him close and cut off Chen Deng's sword, he secretly screamed that it was not good, but unfortunately the distance was far away, and he couldn't save him, so in a hurry, he threw the knife in his hand towards the back of the assassin leader with all his strength.

When Chen Deng's life should not be extinguished, the knife stabbed the Assassin leader in the back of the heart impartially, killing the Assassin leader on the spot. Chen Fu shouted: "Master go quickly, I'll break the queen!" He did not follow Chen Deng's direction, but turned his horse's head, and at this time, several more assassins chased after him, and seeing that their leader had been killed, those few people were also red-eyed, and they screamed and pounced on Chen Fu.

Chen Fu had no weapon in his hand, flashed a knife in the head of an assassin, jumped up from his horse, hugged the assassin deadly, and the two fell off their horses together. Chen Fu stuck his hands on the assassin's neck and tightened his hands with all his strength, the assassin rolled his eyes, kicked and kicked desperately, but Chen Fu didn't let go.

The other two assassins chased after him and stabbed Chen Fu in the back with their spears, and with each shot, blood spurted out wildly, stabbing dozens of shots in succession, and Chen Fu finally crawled on the assassin and remained motionless. The two Assassins hurriedly jumped off their horses and tried to pull Chen Fu away to save their companions, but Chen Fu's hands were so tightly clamped that they had to break his fingers to pull them apart, but the Assassin had already died of rage, and his throat bone had been torn off by Chen Fu.

Chen Deng didn't dare to delay any longer, he rode his horse and galloped, and when he looked back, Chen Fu had already fallen to the ground, and the assassin was poking him in the back with the sharp tip of his spear. He escaped more than thirty miles in one go, and when he saw that there were no more pursuers behind him, he took a slight breath, and did not dare to stop, so he identified the direction and went all the way to the west, running to Xiaopei.

When they arrived at the foot of Xiaopei City, Chen Dengren was sleepy and tired, and only said to the soldiers guarding the city: "I want to see Runde Gong-" Before he finished speaking, he planted himself under the horse.

It was Zhao Yun who was in charge of the patrol today, just came to the gate of the city, and saw a group of people watching in front of him, so he went straight over and asked why, and the soldiers immediately reported it, Zhao Yun looked over and saw that it was Chen Deng, he was taken aback, and urgently ordered the soldiers to carry it to see Liu Ze.

Liu Ze was also shocked when he saw that Chen Deng was undressed and unconscious, and urgently ordered the military medical officer to treat him. After a while, Chen Deng woke up slowly, saw Liu Ze, and couldn't help crying with joy: "Runde Gong, I finally saw you!" ”

"Mr. Yuanlong, why do you look like this? What the hell is going on? "Liu Ze knew that Chen Deng must have something big, otherwise he wouldn't be so wolf. (To be continued......)
