When everyone came to the city gate, they did not see that there were soldiers on duty at the city head, and the city gate was also opened, leaving only three or five people to guard the city gate, until Jiang Ziya inquired loudly, only to learn from those people that the soldiers who were on duty at the city gate tower actually went out of the city without authorization to fight with Zhang Guifang!

Hearing this, Lu Zhi couldn't help but have a touch of anger on his face: "Who is the general on duty at the city gate today?!" Without the order of the commander, why dare you lead the troops out of the city to fight without authorization! ”

The generals couldn't help but look at Shen Bo, this matter of guarding the city gate is usually arranged by him.

General Lu Zhi also turned his head to look at him with everyone, Shen Bo's face changed slightly, and he said loudly: "Marshal, the person who is on duty at this city gate today... It's Your Highness. ”

"Uncle Qian?!" When Ji Fa heard this, he couldn't help but ask out loud.

His Royal Highness Qian, in Shen Bo's mouth, is Ji Shuqian, the twelfth son of Ji Chang, Ji Fa's younger brother, because of his good martial arts, he also practiced a good martial arts, and now he is anti-business, Ji Shuqian naturally joined the army as a general.

Ji Fa frowned, turned his head and glanced at Lu Zhi's expression, only to see that Lu Zhi's face sank like water, obviously very dissatisfied with Ji Shuqian's unauthorized actions, and expected that when Ji Shuqian returned, I am afraid that a military stick will be absolutely inevitable.

After thinking about it, he didn't say anything, just thought, when Uncle Ji returned and Lu Zhi punished him, if he used a heavy punishment, he would plead for him, after all, he was his own brother, so he couldn't let Lu Zhi really behead his own brother, right?

However, when Uncle Ji came back, he didn't even have the need to intercede for him.

I heard the roar of horses' hooves outside the city gate, and then I saw a defeated army with no armor thrown off its armor rushing into the city, shouting to close the city gate quickly, so as not to take advantage of the enemy to invade.

Lu Zhi turned his head to look, only to see that there were only a dozen or so people left in the rout, and there was a headless corpse on the back of the general's horse.

"What's going on! What the hell is going on?! Lu Zhi asked loudly.

"Ahh Marshal! ”

When those defeated soldiers saw Lu Zhi, their faces changed dramatically in an instant, and then the general who took the lead turned over and jumped off the horse, knelt heavily on the ground and said: "Marshal, Prime Minister, and His Royal Highness King Wu, you are finally here!" ”

"Your Highness, he... He died and died a martyr! ”

Lu Zhi's expression was slightly cold, and he scolded: "Raise your head for Ben Shuai!" What's going on, explain to Ben Shuai 1510 clearly, why do you look like a rout, and why are only you and a few other people returning to the city?! ”

The general didn't dare to raise his head, but just bowed his head to the ground and said in a crying voice: "Before, the vanguard of the Guifang Department scolded Fenglin under the city and invited him to fight, and His Royal Highness was angry, so he led me out of the city to fight, and wanted to kill the fang. ”

"Who knows, that Fenglin Xiu has a strange technique, which can spew black smoke from his mouth, and there is a red bead hidden in the black smoke, and he knocked His Highness off the horse at once, and then chased and killed with a stick, and our army was defeated in an instant...."

"That Fenglin finally cut off the head of His Highness Qian, and wanted to bring it back to ask for merit, but the last general fought to the death, and only snatched back His Highness's body... And ask the marshal for forgiveness! ”

When Lu Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the headless corpse on horseback, and the expression on his face instantly became gloomy.

Jiang Ziya and the others also changed color, and Ji Fa had already screamed and wailed, and while wailing, he pounced on Ji Shuqian's corpse.

"Uncle and my brother! Why did you go for your brother first?! How do you let your brother explain to his mother?! My brother..."

Hearing this bad news, everyone looked ugly, and Lu Zhi also suppressed his anger, and asked, "Are you the only dozen people who have escaped back?" What about the others? ”

The general's expression froze for a moment, but he didn't answer, until Lu Zhi asked again, he said: "After I waited for the body of His Highness Qian, I just wanted to bring His Highness back to Xiqi as soon as possible and send back the news, but I was in a hurry, but I didn't pay attention to the others..."

Lu Zhi's expression was fierce, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore.

"How daring! As the deputy general of His Royal Highness, you failed to protect the lord, and then fled from the battle, abandoning your robe and disregarding... Someone! Drag this person down to Ben Shuai and behead him! The rest of the people are all in prison and waiting to be released! ”

"Marshal's life! The last general just wants to bring back the news and His Highness's body as soon as possible..."

Lu Zhi didn't want to pay attention to this person at all, so he directly asked people to drag him down, and then ordered.

"Nezha, Huang Feihu obeys the order! Ben Shuai ordered the two of you to immediately lead a thousand men each to go out of the city to meet the trapped soldiers in my Xiqi, and Ben Shuai will personally lead the army and suppress the formation for you in the rear. ”

"The last general obeys!"

"Yes, Marshal!"

After Nezha and Huang Feihu brought the soldiers trapped outside the city back to the city, an accident and riot subsided.

But on Ji Fa's side, it was a fuss again.

He had just sent Ji Shuqian's body back to the palace, and he was cried and scolded by his heartbroken old mother, and finally asked him to go to the Guifang camp to snatch Ji Shuqian's head back, otherwise, if Ji Shuqian couldn't bury all the corpses, she would also go with her son!

In desperation, Ji Fa had no choice but to respond perfunctorily, and then immediately returned and told Lu Zhi about it.

Lu Zhi glanced at Ji Fa, and knew his thoughts in his heart, which was nothing more than wanting Lu Zhi to be this villain and reject the old lady.

However, considering that Ji was born as a son of man, it was indeed not good, and he could not refuse his mother's plea, so he could only come by Lu Zhi.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, sending troops at this moment is a faint move to lose troops and generals, and it is impossible for this commander to give an order."

"And with all due respect, Uncle Ji didn't respect the commander's order this time, and attacked without authorization, which was already a violation of military regulations, and then he was defeated and died, which gave me the morale of the three armies declined, and the marshal did not hold him accountable, it was already for the sake of his loyalty and martyrdom."

When Ji Fa heard this, he didn't say anything more, but after sighing, he turned around and left.

After all, he also knew that it was undoubtedly a very stupid thing to send troops at this moment, if he hadn't been forced by his old mother at home, he wouldn't have come over to Lu Zhi to make an appearance.

And Lu Zhi refuses now, and he can be regarded as having an explanation from his old mother's side, so he will not be embarrassed anymore.

It was night, and Lu Zhi and the others were making plans in the account.

Because Huang Feihu was an official in Chaoge in the past and was in charge of the world's military horses, Jiang Ziya asked him for Zhang Guifang and asked Huang Feihu if he knew anything about this person's ability.

Huang Feihu responded: "That Zhang Guifang is also famous in the court song, and in the early years, he also served as a duty under the last general, and the last general also knows some of his deeds and skills. ”

"Zhang Guifang, this person, needless to say, is capable of commanding troops, otherwise the Song Wen Taishi of the Dynasty would not appoint him as the commander in chief to attack my Xiqi."

"Another thing that needs to be noted is that Zhang Guifang is not only skilled in martial arts, but also cultivates a different art, called the technique of 'calling the name and falling off the horse', but the person who is called by his name will suddenly lose his mind and fall off the horse, and he will be captured, so I must beware of this technique when I am facing this person."

Jiang Ziya couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and said, "There is such a strange technique in this world? In this case, how should we deal with his trick of calling for fame and falling off the horse? ”

Saying that, he couldn't help but look at Lu Zhi: "What does the marshal think about this?" Is it possible to recognize what kind of secret art it is? ”

Lu Zhi said disapprerovingly: "Ben Shuai doesn't know, but looking at his appearance, it's just some kind of psychic and soul-stirring technique that makes people's souls scattered, not the Xuanmen Method, as long as the three souls are stable enough, or there are treasures to protect the soul, its name and fall off the horse is naturally useless." ”

Hearing Lu Zhi say this, Jiang Ziya suddenly felt that Zhang Guifang's secret technique didn't seem to be so invincible.

Jiang Ziya said with a smile: "In this way, that Zhang Guifang's secret technique can only show its power to ordinary people, but it is useless to us." ”

Lu Zhi glanced at him, and after thinking about it, he still decided to save a little face for this junior brother, and did not say it directly.

I just hope that Zhang Guifang can also give Jiang Ziya face, and don't use the technique of calling his name and falling off the horse to deal with him, otherwise, with Jiang Ziya's cultivation that the immortals of these two places can't touch, when the time comes, Zhang Guifang will be planted off the horse with a shout, but it will really be embarrassing.

Lu Zhi said: "It's better to be cautious and careful, but Nezha is the incarnation of the lotus, and his soul has been all in the lotus body, and he is the nemesis of that Zhang Guifang. ”
