Xiao Mao Pingzhang's composure surprised Guo Conglong. It's just that in a hurry, he didn't have time to savor this strange feeling. The people in the palace seemed to have noticed the anomaly, and they didn't know if they saw the corpses of the slain guards, or for some other reason, when he heard a commotion everywhere, and many hurried footsteps were rushing towards him.

Ren Zhonghou poked his head out of the door and anxiously urged: "Quick! Fast! ”

"Offended."

Guo Conglong motioned for two or three masked men to step forward, grabbed Xiao Mao Pingzhang with seven hands and eight feet, in order to facilitate his movement, and tied it firmly with a rope, someone was specifically responsible for carrying him, everyone shouted, carrying a bright sword and gun, and rushed out of the toilet. The moon was dark, and the wind blew the treetops.

Guo Conglong beckoned around, but saw that far and near, among the rows of pavilions and houses, suddenly lit up with sparkling fires. The wind became hotter and hotter, and with a stuffiness, he suddenly faintly heard that there seemed to be thunder shaking in the distant sky.

Someone shouted: "There are dead people in the backyard, there are thieves in the house!" The gongs and drums are beaten,......, Tianzi team, go to the right; Ground team, come from the left. Xuanzi team, go to the front door; Yellow team, to the backyard. The four teams of Yu, Zhou, Hong, and Huang are guarding the mouth of the righteous hall, and no one is allowed to put it in! ”

Zhengqitang, that is, the place where Mrs. Wang feasted the ministers of Yidu.

Ren Zhong said kindly: "What should I do?" ”

Deng She gave Guo Conglong an order, there was one, ordering him to act at the opportunity, if there was an opportunity, it would be best to kill a few high-ranking officials in Yidu. Tian Jialie is at the top of the list. Guo Conglong immediately made a decision and said: "The palace guards are vigilant, and Tian Jialie can't be killed." According to the predetermined plan, set fire and leave! ”

The flames are blazing.

Ren Zhonghou is the head snake of the palace, familiar with the road, and understands the reality and reality. Led by him, dozens of people did not go to the backyard, copied the path, walked the bamboo forest, turned over the rockery, crossed the courtyard wall, and chose the west side gate as a breakthrough. In this palace, the backyard is occupied by family members, and when they hear the warning at this time, the guards must be the strongest. The west side is inhabited by servants, and there are usually many people and chaos, but now when the horses and guns are exchanged in chaos, the vigilance is the weakest.

Guo Conglong rushed to the head of the team, like a sharp knife, the end of the brave is unstoppable, although he met three or four teams of palace guards on the road, almost no one else did it, basically asked him to pick up all by himself.

This time into the city, Haidong came a total of 300 people. There were thirty or forty people who followed Guo Conglong into the palace, and the rest of the people were divided into two parts, one of which was scattered into the city as a backup; One is just outside the wall of the west courtyard as a response. In two strokes, the inside and the outside should be combined, and the momentum is like a bamboo, and it broke through the side door of the west courtyard in an instant.

None of the servants in the West Courtyard dared to move, and they all hid indoors, trembling. Through the window, I could see that in the dark night, there were more and more guards in pursuit.

There was a young general who took the lead. - He really took the lead, he found a mount out of nowhere, and before he had time to put the saddle and bridle on, he rode on it, holding a scorching grease torch in one hand and a lance upside down in the other, and galloping in the whistling night wind.

A servant knew him and whispered to others: "Little General Gao Yanshi." ”

"Where's the thief?"

"Just rushed out the side door."

"The dignified palace, let a few thieves come and go freely? I'm angry, too. Sons, come with me. Gao Yanshi was angry, he was arrogant, how could he have suffered such a pickled atmosphere, and he drank a lot of wine on the table, and when the wind blew, the strength of the wine came up, not to mention, he knocked on the mount with the handle of the fire, and rushed out of the side door. Most of the guards behind were on foot, and only four or five horsemen staggered to follow.

The city was also in flames.

Guo Conglong and Li Shousheng had an agreement that if everything went well, he could quietly take down Xiao Mao Pingzhang, and he would not have to set fire to cover in the city. On the other hand, if the palace guards were alarmed and saw a fire in the palace, the Haidong soldiers and the people of the general administration department scattered in the city would also set fire to them.

The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and when you looked up, you could reach it with your hand. The wind blows on the body, heavy and damp. The people on the side of the street, there are people who suddenly don't know the chaos in the city, deep courtyards, bright lights, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, fluttering and audible.

Gao Yanshi couldn't see the road in front of him clearly, the torch in his hand shook so that his eyes flashed, and on the back of the bare horse, he clamped the horse's belly tightly with his legs. The fire lit the way, and he threw the torch away, squinted, and looked ahead. The masked men were like flocks of frightened birds in the woods, thirty or forty people divided into seven or eight groups, racing along the cobweb-like alleys and streets.

He reined in his mount, looked closely, and saw one of them, a small number of them, several of them clustered in front and back, carrying a black object, like the figure of a young man. The leader was a man with a spear, and the group turned east and ran westward towards the eastern gate.

"Vana Pocai! Where to go? ”

Although Gao Yanshi didn't know that Xiao Mao Pingzhang was arrested, he also saw it clearly, this group must be the leader of the masked people. He urged his horse to chase after him, and there were few pedestrians on the streets of the city, and the streets, though not too wide, were large enough for horses to gallop. He raised his lance and shouted, "If you are brave, come and make two moves with me." ”

He chased well, and the man who grabbed it was Guo Conglong.

Guo Conglong turned into a small alley, turned his head to look, Gao Yanshi was fast, and appeared dozens of meters away. He stopped, turned around, stretched out his hand to his retinue on his side, and said in a deep voice, "Bows, arrows." One of them presented a pair of yellow-horned bows, and the other took out three long arrows and handed them to them.

The alley is very narrow, the alley is wider, Guo Conglong put down the spear, put it according to the wall of the alley, stretched his bow and set up arrows, the arrows were like stray arrows, through the dark alley, the arrows were dazzling in a flash, reflecting the firelight outside the alley, which appeared in front of Gao Yanshi's eyes at first glance.

Gao Yanshi was caught off guard, he never expected that the opponent would bring a bow and arrow. Before the arrow arrived, the wind had already pierced his eyes. Thanks to his long-term experience in the battlefield, he was not chaotic in the face of danger, and when he was at the last moment, he avoided his side face, opened his mouth, and steadily bit the arrow.

He only cares about dodging, and inevitably lacks control of his mount. Rushing from the bright alley into the dark alley, the mount was not very adaptable, and the horse's hooves were slammed. With no bridle and no saddle, Gao Yanshi almost fell off his horse. Suddenly, another gust of wind swept by, and Guo Conglong's second arrow was blackened and shot closer.

Gao Yanshi cheered up, shouted violently, landed with the first arrow in his mouth, danced the horse lance, and blocked the second arrow. He once hunted with Yang Wanhu, Guo Conglong, etc., and remembered Guo Conglong's continuous arrows vividly, and in his busy schedule, his mind flashed, and the shouting was deafening: "Guo Conglong!" ”

Although Gao Yonsei's mount was paused, there was still inertia in his eagerness. At this time, the two were less than thirty meters apart, facing the galloping horse, Guo Conglong stood still steadily, and the third arrow came.

Lianzhu arrows sound easy, but it is difficult to shoot, there are really not many people in the Haidong Army who can do this, and Chen Hu is one. Compared with Chen Hu, Guo Conglong has not experienced many battles in the end, and the continuous arrows he shoots are less indomitable and fierce in the decisive battle, but there are more amazing skills and flexibility. Ko Yonse couldn't dodge and was finally shot in the left shoulder.

He groaned and screamed, rolled over and fell off his horse. Guo Conglong threw down his big bow, steadied his horse's steps, and snorted, knocking down the galloping horse that couldn't hold his feet with his shoulder. Horses weighing hundreds of pounds fell to the ground with a bang, the horses neighed, and dust rose all over the ground. With such divine power, several palace guards who followed and rushed were shocked, and they did not dare to move forward one after another.

The masked man who surrounded Guo Conglong's left was not strange. Not to mention knocking down a mere military horse, thinking that day, when attacking South Goryeo, Guo Conglong didn't do it?

Because of Deng She's instructions, Guo Conglong refused to reveal his identity, and only ignored Gao Yanshi's shouts, and deliberately took the opportunity to simply end his life, but because of the urgency of time, he could not delay. That Gao Yanshi is known for his bravery, he really wants hand-to-hand combat, not three or two moves can distinguish the winner from the loser, since the three arrows can't kill him, Guo Conglong is no longer in love with war. He laughed and led his men to gallop away.

Gao Yanshi was disgraced, got up from the ground, the wound on his shoulder hurt so much that he grinned, and watched Guo Conglong and the others walk away, the alley was dark, and in a blink of an eye, there was a mount that fell to the ground, and he couldn't catch up. His archery skills are also as good as Gao Ming, but unfortunately he came out in a hurry, he didn't bring a bow and arrows, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth, get angry, and shout viciously twice: "Haidong Guo Conglong!" ”

A voice came from afar: "For the sake of the fellow villagers in Hebei this time, I will spare you." If we meet again next time, we will see how we will take your life. "This battle is divided into teachings, called: the famous handsome tiger will meet, and Guo Gaochu will fight in Qingzhou City.

The three arrows blocked Gao Yanshi, and Guo Conglong and the others turned the path, without stopping for a moment, and went straight to the east gate. Yidu is one of the largest cities in Shandong, and the city is very large. The palace was far away from the city gate to the east, and they had only walked less than half the way, when they saw a lot of fireworks flying one after another under the dark and oppressive sky.

Ren Zhong said kindly: "A firework all the way to the army." One, two, three, four, four people have fallen. "Fireworks are the signal of the earlier agreement. The three hundred Haidong soldiers were divided into one or twenty units, and those who were encircled set off set off a firework to alert the other men and horses.

Guo Conglong looked forward and backward, the garrison in the city had probably been alarmed, if the burning city was compared to a mountain of flames, then the team of people holding torches was like a fire snake swimming in the middle, mixed with the soldiers carrying the water dragon to fight the fire, there were everywhere.

Not far away, at the exit not far from the alley where they walked, there was a group of soldiers in bright armor guarding the defense.

Guo Conglong's mind turned sharply. There are not many enemies at this street crossing, only seven or eight people, and it seems that it is a team of ten people, which is very easy to deal with. But no matter how good it is, it is indispensable to delay some time, if it attracts other teams, or asks Gao Yanshi to catch up again, it will inevitably turn small trouble into big trouble.

He made a choice and said, "Brother Ren, it seems that the garrison in the city has been dispatched. There are too many of us, and the goal is too big. I'll give you three or two people, and take Xiao Mao Pingzhang out of the city as soon as possible. There are people waiting outside the city. ”

"What about you, General?"

"I'll open the way for you, break the back!"

"No! The general has the courage of ten thousand people, and in the current situation, if you want to take Xiao Mao Pingzhang out of the city, you have to be a general. With a general here, even if you encounter an enemy, you can kill them. If I change it, it won't work. The responsibility of opening the way and breaking off the road cannot be assumed by the general. ”

"You are familiar with the roads in the city, how can you get to the east gate without you to guide the way? After opening the road and breaking it, it is none other than me! ”

"General, don't fight with me. You're right, I've been in Yidu for several months, and I'm familiar with all the roads in the city, so I'm just fighting guerrillas, opening the way for the general, and covering the back. Our goal has been set, that is, to the east gate, General, do you know where the east side is? Follow this road all the way to the East Gate, and you need someone to guide you! ”

"Brother Ren!"

"Time is pressing, you guys come with me!"

Ren Zhonghou came out of the banquet directly before seeing Guo Conglong and the others, without armor and wearing official robes. He was very tall, standing in a group of big men, like standing out from the crowd, and in a few words, he decided to divide the troops into two ways, no longer waiting for Guo Conglong to scramble, ordered a few people, lifted his front, took a big stride, rushed out of the alley, and ran eastward. While running, he deliberately made noise.

Everyone present knows that they must have gone and never returned. The soldiers of Haidong who were selected to enter the city were originally selected dead soldiers, and the few people who followed Ren Zhonghou were all fearless, but the few people who stayed by Guo Conglong's side were not happy one by one.

Ren Zhonghou shouted, because of his height, his robe was short, and he couldn't even cover his calves, so he was in the way, so he simply tore half of it, revealing two hairy legs like hemp rods, dancing with a simple knife, taking the lead and breaking into the enemy formation at the mouth of the alley. He was born as a horse thief, killing people and setting fires, it is a common thing, although after coming to Yidu, he was transferred to a civil servant for a few months, but he couldn't kill two people, and the knife skills gradually changed from rusty to skilled, and the pride and pleasure of killing the field in the past suddenly returned to his heart.

He led the rest of the people, fought a bloody road, and instead of going east, he turned around and went south. The Yidu army guarding the entrance of the alley did not have time to clean up the corpses of their comrades, picked up knives and guns, and chased after them.

Guo Conglong clenched the spear, watched them go farther and farther, gradually disappearing into the street, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't heard Xiao Mao Pingzhang's voice for a long time, his heart moved, and he hurriedly turned his face, reaching out to touch Xiao Mao Pingzhang's snort, but saw that he had a pair of bright eyes, looking at him calmly and quietly. A thought flashed in Guo Conglong's mind: "In time, it will become a great tool." ”

"Brethren! The alley is empty, let's go! ”

Of the three hundred Haidong soldiers, only four or five of them finally went out of the city, including Guo Conglong, and it was only with the full cooperation of Li Shousheng and others that they were lucky enough to climb over the city wall. The east gate was closed early in the morning, and they couldn't get out of it. Out of town, not far away, it's a small wood. In the grove, there were horses arranged by Ju Sheng and others waiting, and the horses were whipped up quickly, and they hurried all night, and the next morning, everyone rushed to the beach.

The Haidong sailors who were patrolling the coast caught them, and that night, Xiao Mao Pingzhang set foot on the land of Haidong. Guo Conglong did not go with him, and changed to take another boat on the way, but came and went to the floating island, and met Deng She to recover his life.

The next day, Haidong borrowed Xiao Mao Pingzhang to play the banner of rebellion with great fanfare, and stationed the elite military horses stationed on the coast of Liaozuo and had been prepared for a long time, and then the three armies crossed the Bohai Sea together. At the same time, two pieces of news came from Yidu: Ren Zhonghou was killed in battle, and Li Dunru was killed. Tian Jialie also sent a messenger to Hejian Mansion to summon Wang Shicheng.

Electricity swept across the gloomy sky, the waves surged, the rolling thunder shook the sea, and thousands of boats raced, and thousands of sails were like a forest.
