304 The Bloody Battle of the City Gate
Li Bai and Wang Jixin worked hard all the way, day and night, and finally arrived near Anyuan City on the morning of the third day.
"Senior brother, we're here." Wang Jixin looked at the crowded city gate and felt a sense of pleasure.
In the past ten years, I have been staying in Zhao's mansion and have never come out, this time it is the first time I have gone out, and it is very novel to see everywhere.
"Senior brother, looking at your appearance, you are very excited as soon as you go out, we are here to protect the master's family, not to play." Li Bai said with a smile.
"Senior brother is serious, I just think it's a novelty everywhere." Wang Jixin put away his smile as he spoke, and pointed towards the city gate, "Let's go into the city and ask, maybe the main family has already entered the city." ”
"Senior brother, I have an ominous premonition that there seems to be a great crisis waiting for us in this city." Li Bai frowned slightly, he didn't have this feeling often, and once it appeared, it would prove that he would face a powerful enemy.
In the past ten years of training, Li Bai has also survived a few times, from a swordsman to a sword immortal, it is by no means a waste of fame, with his keen insight, he has avoided many traps that must die.
"Did Senior Brother see something?" Wang Jixin was going to enter the city, but he also stopped his horse and watched.
"I don't know yet, but I think someone in the city is watching us, as if they've been waiting for us for a long time." After Li Bai finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Jixin and said with a smile: "Senior brother, in fact, these thieves dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and there must be someone behind the scenes." ”
"Senior brother, how can you judge that this is a thief, not the power of the government?" Wang Jixin frowned, and he could also see that the sergeant guarding the city had been aiming at them, and he seemed to be a little vigilant.
"The power of the official family, in the eyes of our master and miss, isn't it also a thief?" Li Bai said, riding a horse and going straight to the city gate, for him, caution is a habit, and fearlessness is even more character.
When the two came to the city gate, a team of seven or eight soldiers immediately rushed out, surrounded the two, and a captain led by shouted: "Come and dismount, no horses are allowed in front of Anyuan City!" ”
"There are carriages and people on horseback in front of us, so why can't we ride horses?" Li Bai smiled faintly, he naturally saw that these soldiers were targeted.
"They are the families of the gentry in the city, and you are outsiders, so naturally they can't be compared." The captain was talking in his hand, pulled out a serial knife and pointed at Li Bai and shouted, "Hurry up and get off the horse, otherwise we will be welcome." ”
"Look at this token, you still dare to tell me to dismount?" Li Bai disdainfully threw out a blackened iron token.
The lieutenant took the token and glanced at it suspiciously, there was a tiger head engraved on it, which was the general marching order of the Tang Dynasty.
"This token ......" The lieutenant looked at it repeatedly, then stared at Li Bai and said: "I don't know whether this token is true or false, so you have to dismount even more, if you pretend to be a military officer, the crime will be increased by one degree." ”
"Senior brother, we don't have to fight with them, we won't enter this city gate." Wang Jixin shook his head, he had already seen that these soldiers were deliberately making things difficult, and there was already a group of people in the city rushing to this side, as if they were dealing with the two of them.
"I can't help you, do it!" The lieutenant saw that Wang Jixin seemed to have the idea of exiting the city gate, and immediately ordered the left and right to step forward and pull the horse, "Dismount for me!" ”
"You dare!" When Li Bai saw his mount being pulled, he was immediately furious.
As a sword immortal who was neither humble nor arrogant when talking to Xuanzong, a small city gate guard, he dared to be so opposed, Li Bai's arrogance had already exploded.
"Get out of here!" The scabbard of the sword on Li Bai's waist ejected out, hitting the throat of the captain, only to see the captain holding his throat and retreating one after another, and then the whites of his eyes fell to the ground.
Seeing this, several other soldiers immediately took knives and sticks, brandished and slashed at Li Bai and Wang Jixin.
"Look for death!" Li Bai was full of anger, his figure flashed, the long sword in his hand was circulating, and those soldiers showed frightened eyes at the same time, and then fell to the ground and died holding their throats.
Seven people were killed in an instant, but Li Bai's expression did not change in the slightest, looking at the team of people and horses who rushed out of the city gate, and said lightly: "Senior brother, it seems that the main lord is coming, should we kill it in or kill it out?" ”
"Senior brother, your murderous intent is too great, let's get out of the city first." Wang Jixin glanced at the corpse a little unbearably, and then at the slight red silk on the tip of the senior brother's sword, he had also seen this deadly swordsmanship when he was studying with Li Bai, but now that he saw that it was used to kill, he still had a strong touch in his heart.
"Okay, let's go." Li Bai nodded, turned the horse's head, and drove towards the outside of the city with Wang Jixin.
"Stop!" The burly general on the white horse, armed with a long-handled silver spear, roared and chased after the two men, and behind him dozens of horsemen were obviously much slower, and chased them out of the city gate.
The people who fled scattered at the gate of the city were stunned when they had seen such a scene.
As a group of cavalry chased out of the city, the seven soldiers who fell to the ground and died were trampled by the horses and turned beyond recognition.
The smell of blood spread everywhere, and the already frightened people fled even farther away.
At this moment, a burly shirtless man jumped down from the wall seven or eight meters high, held a mountain-opening axe in his hand, and strode towards the cavalry.
"That man jumped off the city wall just now?" A young man asked in surprise.
"He seems to be the Zheng butcher in the south of the city, and he can't imagine that he is so powerful." A middle-aged man beside him whispered.
When those people were far away, the people near the city gate breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help talking.
"The two people who came just now were really terrible, and the sword in white clothes killed seven people."
"I really don't know what the way it is, General He chased him out just now, and he should be able to kill those two people."
"I don't think so, the swordsmanship of the man in white reminds me of the legendary sword immortal Li Bai, I don't know what it has to do with him."
"Sword Immortal Li Bai? How could he be here, and if he did come here, who would dare to mess with him? ”
"I really don't know what's going on, just a few years after the peace, something like this happened in Anyuan City." An old man next to him sighed.
The fear of the residents of Anyuan City gradually spread with the bloody battle at the city gate just now.
At this moment, Li Bai and Wang Jixin were thinking about whether to kill the military general who had caught up.
"Senior brother, this guy in the back bites very tightly, I'll get rid of him." Li Bai looked back at the white horse generals who were only a dozen meters away, and said unhurriedly to Wang Jixin on the side.
"Senior brother, although there is something wrong with this, you shouldn't be so ruthless, kill this general now, I'm afraid we will become wanted criminals in the imperial court." Wang Jixin shook his head secretly, this time he came in the name of Miss to protect Miss Miss's parents, but now he has just arrived in the place, and he has started a fight with the government.
"Senior brother, don't blame me for being ruthless, I really wanted to be entangled just now, even if we have all the skills, I'm afraid we will hate the city gate." Li Bai explained lightly.
He was very aware of the situation just now, if he hesitated for a moment and was caught up by that group of cavalry, even if the two of them could escape with their ability, I am afraid they would have to kill more people.
"Senior brother, leave the latter person to me." Wang Jixin glanced at the white horse general who was chasing closer and closer, slowed down slightly, and then slowly pulled out the sword at his waist.
"Then be careful, I think this guy is a little weird." Li Bai nodded, slowing down his horse and parting to the side.
"Two madmen, take your life!" The white-clothed general saw the two of them slow down, and suddenly roared, and the silver spear in his hand poked towards Wang Jixin nearby.
