The crossbow bolts shot out, and the target was Xiao Tianhao's face.

Although he is the highest-ranking person here, in the face of a sudden sneak attack, he is facing a position like the front door without any cover, let alone a third-level qi martial realm, even a third-level immortal martial realm.

Xiao Tianhao was shocked, if he hadn't sent a golden-armored one-horned rhinoceros, he could have let the martial soul pounce on it to block the arrows, and now there was really nothing to do.

Just at the last moment, Xiao Chen's leaf martial soul suddenly appeared and blocked in front of his grandfather.

While......

The crossbow arrow hit the leaf, and its speed dropped rapidly, buying time for Xiao Tianhao.

The old marquis calmly stretched out his right hand, grabbed the crossbow arrow that was still fighting against Ye Ziwu's martial spirit, glanced at the blue arrow, and said angrily: "Pi Zhendong, you actually stole cold arrows, you are too much." ”

The following nobles shouted that it was a pity, they hoped to kill Xiao Tianhao with one arrow, so that they could divide his mines and take more advantage.

Several people have already summed it up, and after killing Xiao Tianhao, they will criticize him with the same caliber and tell right and wrong. The big man in the imperial court had long wished that this wise general and the god of war would die quickly, even if there was a strange cause of death, the testimony of the officials and soldiers of the Central Henan Prefecture, coupled with the secret operation of Pi Zhendong's brother-brother, no one would definitely be condemned for this incident.

For this purpose, they specially hired a master assassin who was good at using crossbow arrows.

It was originally a foolproof arrow, and the strong strength and poison could completely make Xiao Tianhao die on the spot, but at the most critical time, he was actually inserted by his grandson, resulting in failure.

The person who released the cold arrow was unwilling, and raised his head and asked, "Master Hou, give me another chance, right?"

Pi Zhendong said with a cold face: "I can give you a chance, but Xiao Tianhao won't, you ask for more blessings, right?"

The man was stunned for a moment, didn't he just fail once, why did he ask for more blessings, I don't want money if I didn't complete the task! Just when he was puzzled, a rumbling sound came, and he immediately understood.

The golden-armored one-horned rhinoceros raised its four hooves and rushed towards this side at a fast speed, while Pi Zhendong and the others had already turned their horses' heads and went to a safe place, leaving him and the knight who was in charge of covering just now.

Boom......

Under the vigorous collision of the golden-armored one-horned rhinoceros, the knights flew up with men and horses, leaving a rain of blood in mid-air.

The man subconsciously threw down the crossbow, although he was unwilling, he still closed his eyes, and the next second his abdomen was pierced by a sharp rhinoceros horn, and then he was thrown into the sky.

After the body hit the ground, the two front legs of the golden-armored one-horned rhinoceros stomped violently, stomping his head and chest to pieces.

After a brief period of fear, the officers and soldiers slowly adapted to it, and they formed shield formations and gun formations, making up for the deficiencies with numerical superiority, and quickly reversed the occupation.

Liu Zhizhang's 600 people couldn't come up, so they could only stare dryly below, but they fought a few times with Nanpihou and their private soldiers, and they didn't take advantage of it or suffer big losses, maintaining a state of not losing or winning.

After a few contacts, Xiao Tianhao ordered to shrink the defense, occupy favorable terrain, and block every charge of the enemy.

In this way, the two sides entered a stalemate phase until the sun set.

The officers and soldiers below set up cattle and sheep, lit a fire and began to roast, and the fragrance wafted everywhere. Looking at Xiao Tianhao's side again, since it was a hurried departure from the Hou Mansion at night, everyone only brought dry food, and when they asked about the aroma of meat, many people couldn't help but drool.

Liu Fatzi sent people to open up a small road to send all kinds of materials up, although the quantity was limited, it also played an urgent role, at least there was no need to worry about water sources and things.

As night fell, except for the soldiers standing sentry, the people on both sides began to rest, and suddenly snoring was everywhere.

One night without a word until the next morning.

The dry food delivered last night had been completely dried, Xiao Chen looked at a piece of cake in front of him and worried, how to eat this thing, it was as hard as a stone.

There is also another pampered master, Liu Fei'er, the only daughter of the fat man.

Looking at the others, they all ate very deliciously.

The officers and soldiers below began to barbecue again, the fragrance wafted in, and the little marquis scolded angrily: "Eating barbecue in the morning, it's too much, are they ready to attack the mountain when they are full of food and drink?"

Xiao Tianhao, who was biting the cake on the side, said: "That's right, meat can provide soldiers with longer physical energy, Chen'er, don't worry, grandpa has already sent someone out last night, and when the news is delivered to it, Pi Zhendong will be unlucky!"

Below, the tent was full of all kinds of delicacies, and Pi Zhendong said to a few followers: "Don't worry, I sent a messenger last night to report the matter here, and the above will definitely turn a blind eye." Also, you're going to see a good show right away. ”

It didn't take long for the private army position of the Duke of Deling, which was not far away from them, to let out a burst of screams, and everyone vomited and diarrhea, and in serious cases, foamed at the mouth, and even fell into a coma.

On the high ground, watching his men fall to the ground one by one, Liu Zhizhang thumped his feet fiercely, and shouted in his mouth: "Damn, so hateful, I actually used poison as a means that cannot be put on the table." ”

Six hundred people were taken out at once, although they had no worries about their lives, but they had lost their combat effectiveness.

Xiao Tianhao didn't say anything, he still admired the enemy's trick in his heart, and he was just about to say something to boost morale, when someone suddenly shouted: "I have a stomachache......

Immediately a second person said, "My stomach hurts too, it's no longer good......

"Our food has also been poisoned?" Liu Zhizhang said in horror: "How is it possible, the dry food we ate was sent yesterday, if it was poisonous, it would have happened a long time ago, why did it only happen now?"

Xiao Chen first looked at the untouched cake in front of him, then looked at the kettle next to him, stood up abruptly and said, "There is no problem with the food, it is poisonous in the water! We are in the high ground and there is no water source, so grandpa ordered the water to be concentrated yesterday, and someone took the opportunity to poison the water." ”

"Who did it, and who is responsible for taking care of everyone's drinking water?" Xiao Tianhao immediately asked.

A middle-aged family member knelt down and said, "Master Hou, it's me." But I never left the tank, and I swear I didn't poison it, because I drank it too. ”

"If you drink it, can it mean anything, it can only be said that it is a bitter meat trick! Don't let him go, when I got up last night, I chatted with him by the way, and he already expressed his dissatisfaction with the Hou Ye. "The person who spoke was Xiao Yuntao, yesterday he was the representative of the clan, and he came to protect the mine with his family.

"I didn't, what did I tell you yesterday, why are you dissatisfied with Hou Ye?"

Xiao Chen watched the two quarrel with cold eyes, and just when everyone almost believed that it was the family general who poisoned him and clamored to kill him, he spoke: "Xiao Yuntao, how much money did Pi Zhendong give you, and you are willing to die for him?"

Everyone was stunned, why did they become Xiao Yuntao again?

Xiao Yuntao's face tightened, and he said with a smile: "Little Hou Ye, what are you kidding, how can it be me? As for Pi Zhendong to buy a person like me, it is obvious that he is the one who poisoned him!"

Xiao Chen walked towards him and said, "Don't quibble, it's you! If I'm not mistaken, you were bribed by Nanpihou before you entered the dungeon with me, right? At that time, I wondered, how dare you stay with such a small guts? It was you who reported to Pi Hongbo, and when you came out, you immediately accepted a new task, which was to wait for an opportunity to poison us. If it was really the family general's poison, he would have run away while everyone was having breakfast, because everyone would suspect him. You were the only one who approached the water tank last night, and I think the poison was also put in without knowing it when I was talking to the general, right?"

He had been observing the two of them just now, and found that there was no sign of lying to the general, and Xiao Yuntao's eyes flickered, clearly showing that there was a ghost in his heart.

Xiao Yuntao's face changed drastically, and he said hatefully: "You're right, I was bought by Nanpihou, but not before going to the dungeon, but before the Six Cities Competition." But even if I admit it, what can you do, I have put a colorless and tasteless laxative in your drinking water, and even the people of the Immortal Martial Realm can't bear it!"

"Why did you do this?" Xiao Tianhao asked sharply.

His expression gradually became hideous, and he bared his teeth and said, "The money he gave me is something I can't earn in my lifetime in Xiao Mansion." You just accept your fate, a large army will attack in a while, for the sake of my surname Xiao, I will beg him to leave a whole corpse for Hou Ye and Xiao Hou Ye. ”
