The sound of horses' hooves approached from all sides, according to Zhao Yi's calculations, there were four hundred people inside and outside the inn, this was the doxxing, and now listening to the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, there were more than four hundred people.

Song Ning scolded a dirty word!

caught the flying stones and smashed Pan Dexiang: "I didn't say that there was an ambush, and the master will use you as a shield when ten thousand arrows are fired later!" ”

Pan Dexiang was thrown upside down in the wet prison car without buffer, and was hit in the face by Song Ning with a stone, and he yelled in pain: "I didn't know there was an ambush, this is ...... It's not our adults......"

He was halfway to his senses.

Ambush and kill, and there is such a big battle, Song Ning must know that it can't be Tang Taiwen's handiwork, he doesn't need to explain it at all.

The prince was determined to kill Zhao Yi this time, and so many people intercepted and killed him halfway.

Pan Dexiang and Jin Dong didn't care about the smell of dirt, and they all lay on their stomachs on the prisoner car, for fear of being injured by the arrows shot by the knives that came from the sideways.

The sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, and Zhao Yi took his saber from Yan Feng's hand and said angrily: "Be a dead thing!" ”

He rushed straight to the voice.

If it weren't for these people to ambush and kill, Song Ning's little cub wouldn't have blown up the thatched house.

Blame these people!

The sound of weapons clashing sounded, and Yan Feng and Qiu followed Zhao Yi one after another, and Fu Yu and Lu Qingqing guarded Song Ning and Song Yuanshi.

Song Ning grabbed a long knife that she had touched behind the door when she blew up the kitchen just now, this was the second time she had experienced such a large brawl, the last time was in Langzhong, she thought she was heroic, and this time it would only be better.

"Brother Qing, protect Mr. Yuan."

Song Ning also killed the assassin who was in ambush, someone greeted her, and the figure shook the light of the weapon under the cold moonlight.

Torches lit up on the outflanked human wall more than a foot away from them, and those men rode on horseback, holding torches in their left hand and weapons in their right, and the horses under them grinded their hooves excitedly, and the smoke and dust raised and shouted as if they were on the battlefield.

Song Ning cut down one of the opponents, and only then did he see the surrounding scene clearly.

There are more people than Zhao Yi said.

"You really look up to us, there must be nearly a thousand of them, right?!" Song Ning chirped, "I miscalculated, today's fate is mysterious!" ”

There were only a few of them, and the people on the other side stood still and let them cut, and they also cut a few knives.

"Kill!" Lu Miaomiao's eyes were red, and he swung his long knife around Song Yuanshi, striking in a sonorous and disorderly manner.

Although Song and Yuan Shi had no martial arts, he was always very calm, he held his horse steadily, and did not run around.

The encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and Song Ning gasped and shouted: "Lord Wang, we will escort you and rush out, remember to avenge us and kill Zhao Tao and the turtle grandson!" ”

"If you have the strength to speak, it's better to kill a few more people." Zhao Yi's technique was very fast, and every killing action was like flowing water, and the sword qi and blood droplets flew and the opponent fell.

Song Ning was fighting while thinking of a way to get out of trouble, and if they continued to fight like this, they would really live a quarter of an hour or two more hours.

"Lord Wang, how about we retreat to the inn?" Song Ning calculated, at least there is a wall, like a siege city, with a shield, it is better than chasing and killing on the plain.

Zhao Yi didn't want to think about it, and said, "Don't go back!" ”

If you go back to that place, you might as well die.

Song Ning retreated all the way, unconsciously approaching Zhao Yi's side, and everyone became back-to-back.

The encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and Zhao Yi said: "The four of us have made a gap, and you rush out." ”

"Oh my God, are we going to face the choice of life and death?" Song Ning said, "Lord Wang, before you die, can you tell us the secret you pressed in your heart?" ”

Zhao Yi glanced at her: "As a widow, you will know eventually." ”

"Two, this situation is really dead, think of a way not to be poor." Song Yuanshi sighed, and as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and then the howling sound of arrows cutting through the sky sounded one after another, and then the shouting of the outer circle disrupted the rhythm, and the previously stable firelight began to tremble, and there was a fight over there.

"Oh my God, there are reinforcements?" Song Ning was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Lord Wang, have your reinforcements arrived?" ”

Zhao Yi didn't speak.

"Lord Wang, how many reinforcements do you have?" Song Ning shouted.

Zhao Yi said: "This king is like a god, and he has ambushed 5,000 soldiers!" ”

The people who were fighting around them were shocked, and they actually heard the beating of the war drums in the outer circle really like a battlefield, and in an instant, the soldiers who surrounded and killed them here were in chaos, and some people began to retreat and retreat outside, and one person walking would affect the people next to them, in the drumbeat, these people fought and retreated, and finally became Zhao Yi and they chased and killed.

The black-clothed people who came from behind the outer circle were all holding short swords, and their mouths for rushing and killing were not big, but because of the sound of drums, it inexplicably made people feel that the momentum was particularly strong, and there were still many people.

Zhao Yi and the others rushed over, strangled together inside and out, and instantly dispersed the original encirclement, and those who intercepted and killed them slapped their horses one by one and ran in all directions.

As the last few of the surrounded people fell, all those who intercepted them ran away.

In just three quarters of an hour, a corpse fell on the ground.

There was no enemy, and the masked black-clothed man who came to save them was face to face with Zhao Yi and them, and in the dim light of the torches that fell to the ground, it could be seen that the number of the other party was less than a hundred, some people were walking in front and riding horses, and one was walking behind the hall.

The two sides looked at each other, and it was only two breaths, when the other party suddenly turned around and turned back, pulling the walker onto the horse while riding the horse, and then disappeared into the night.

The drumming stopped.

Silence returned on all sides, except for the snorting of the horses left behind by the dead soldiers.

In the empty four fields, not a single living creature can be seen.

"Lord Wang, your rescuer heavenly general? Suddenly come and go suddenly! Song Ning was amazed and admired, "You just said five thousand people, I almost believed it." ”

Zhao Yi looked indifferently at the direction where the rescuers disappeared: "This is not my person!" ”

"Huh? If it's not yours, then who are they? Song Ning asked.

She really thought it was Zhao Yi's person, and she thought that Zhao Yi had an arrangement but didn't tell her.

"I don't know." Zhao Yi dismounted and picked up a short sword that had fallen to the ground, "Now start to be a good person and a good deed?" ”

When Song Ning went to see Song Yuan.

"What do you see me doing?" Song Yuanshi was inexplicable, "The prince doesn't know, and I don't know even more." ”

Song Ning raised his eyebrows, waved his hand and said, "No matter, we're still alive anyway." He added, "Search the corpse for anything, and if not, pick a few thinner corpses and drag them away." ”

Everyone rummaged through and found only a little silver on two people, and there was no identity credential.

Song Ning drove Jin Dong into Pan Dexiang's car, then picked up a few skinny corpses and stuffed them in the prisoner car, and finally covered them with a large cloth and continued to hurry.

Everyone did not dare to stay longer, for fear that the pursuers would go and return.

rushed to a town in the middle of the night, chartered a yard to wash, and everyone sat down in the room and waited for Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi bathed three times, and the guy who boiled the water was about to cry.

During this period, Song Ning took a nap for a while, and across a wall, she heard Zhao Yi scolding her.

She craned her neck and waited for him, he came out with his clothes fragrant and waited until he saw her standing at the door, his face looked a little better, and he twisted her face: "Discuss it with me next time, okay?" ”

Song Ning puffed out his cheeks and clapped his hands.

He sniffed on the top of her head with a straight face before rubbing it: "It's so disgusting, my life is almost suspended!" ”

"What are you going to do if I'm dead, huh?"

Song Ning nodded: "Got it, the last time to blow up the thatched house." ”

"I don't want to go to a hut in my life." Zhao Yi said, Song Ning followed him and persuaded, "Don't don't don't be, don't be, the thatched house should still be up." ”

Zhao Yi snorted.

When the two entered the room, everyone was waiting for them, and Song Ning asked the guy to bring wine.

The guy didn't sleep in the middle of the night, boiling water and pouring water to toss until now, holding the wine jar with blank eyes, Song Ning asked him to rest, and poured wine for everyone: "The rest of your life after the catastrophe!" From now on, we will be brothers in life and death. ”

"It's been a long time coming." Lu Qingqing said, Lu Miaomiao also nodded, "When we were in Langzhong, we were brothers, and so was the prince!" ”

Song Ning poured wine again, and everyone drank three glasses in a row before they calmed down.

"Why is Zhao Tao so ruthless all of a sudden, and he actually sent troops to intercept you." Song Ning felt that Zhao Tao's attitude change was a little abrupt, he must have hated Zhao Yi before, but he had always maintained his superficial skills, and occasionally said cool things only verbally, but his attitude and methods had completely changed in the last conflict.

"He's a stupid man, it's easy to agitate." Zhao Yi instructed Yan Feng, "Early tomorrow morning, you and Fu Yu will leave first with a cart of corpses to find out the origin of these people." ”

Wind and rain should be.

"Go back and kill the prince!" Lu Miaomiao slapped the table and said.

Everyone looked at Lu Miaomiao, and Lu Qingqing kicked him: "Stinky boy, the conversation is getting more and more boundless, tell me how you want to kill the prince?" ”

Lu Miaomiao looked at Zhao Yi: "The prince can!" ”

Everyone looked at Zhao Yi again.

"You can't die, he's the prince!" Zhao Yidao said to Lu Miaomiao, "If you were the emperor, would you kill your only son?" ”

Lu Miaomiao rubbed her nose and said, "If I, I'm still young, I'll kill, and I can regenerate anyway." ”

"However, it seems that the saint never gave birth to him later."

Lu Qingqing pumped him: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

"But it's okay, if you can't get it for a while, just get it slowly." Zhao Yi said, and stretched out his right hand in a panic, with a red mark on it from a blade cut, "I'm injured!" ”

Everyone looked at his wounds, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

"Can you still move your hands?" Song Yuanshi asked, Zhao Yi shook his head, "Probably not." ”

Song Yuanshi looked regretful.

Lu Miaomiao went up and poked the back of Bai Nen's hand, stared at the scar for a long time, and said, "The prince is so pitiful." ”

"Hmm. From tomorrow onwards, you will take care of my daily life. Zhao Yi said.

Lu Miaomiao shook, withdrew her hand, and went to see Song Ning for help.

"It's your blessing to take care of the prince." Song Ning said.

Lu Miaomiao sat back with her mouth pursed, and Song Yuanshi couldn't cry or laugh: "Who let you go." ”

"The prince bullies, alas!" Lu Miao Miao said.

Song Ning picked up the short sword that Zhao Yi had picked up earlier, and looked at it over and over: "This is not like the weapon that the cavalry of the regular army should use!" ”

No one in the regular army uses such a short sword as a weapon, otherwise your sword will not be revealed, and you will be picked by someone with a spear and a long knife.

"That's true, but two or three of the leaders are really in the army, the drums are beating correctly, and the beats are very steady and imposing." After Zhao Yi finished speaking, Yan Feng also added, "Yes, this drum beat is not only stable, but also relatively old-fashioned!" ”

This is Song Ning's blind spot in knowledge, she asked: "The drums of war are still divided into old and new factions?" ”

"Points. When the war drums of the Taizu period were only gaining momentum, they were separated by two breaths each time, and others knew that it was Taizu's soldiers who had arrived, and later the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty used such drums. ”

"When General Sui was in charge of the seal, it was Jin Liao who was against him, and they dispersed with their troops, and General Sui would also disperse the army, so that the drum beat would not be easy to gather if it was too slow, and sometimes the grassland was windy, and the sound was blown away."

"So there is a new style with the general, the drum beat is dense like the crackling of the wind and rain, and the sound of the wind can create a galloping momentum of ten thousand horses."

"Today's drum beater is playing the old-school drum method."

Song Ning raised his eyebrows, thoughtful.

"And this man is very old?" Lu Qingqing asked, "Older than the adult's grandfather?" ”

Yan Feng said: "Not really, General Sui is just innovating, but if he fights against Gathering, he will also use the old school." However, there are fewer people who use the old school, and there are even many drummers who don't know this, and they only learn a new style of drums. ”

"So, at least a few of the people who came to save us today are from the military?" Autumn asked.

Yan Feng looked at Zhao Yi.

"I think it is, the first person who started before is not young, he is skilled in waving but not strong enough, although he is masked but has gray hair on his temples, it is very likely that he is from the old department of the general." Zhao Yi said.

"It's a strange knife, though."

Song Ning pointed the knife at the light, turning it over and over.

"What's wrong?" Song Yuanshi asked her, "Is there anything special?" ”

Song Ning said: "I don't see many short swords like this, only once, so I have a deep memory." ”

"Where?"

Song Ning replied: "When I first arrived in the capital, I investigated a murder case, a dart master named Wang Liang killed his brother-in-law, and this group of dart masters used such a short sword!" ”

The blade is eight inches long and one inch wide, with two edges.

"Tiandu Dart Bureau?" Song Yuanshi asked her, and Song Ning nodded, "All of their dart masters are equipped with such short swords, and they often change them to new ones." ”

Zhao Yi knocked on the table and said expressionlessly: "Kang Qingdu's Tiandu Dart Bureau?!" ”

"Yes, the man named Kang Qingdu is deaf and dumb. After Wang Liang subdued the law, the Tiandu Dart Bureau went to the empty building overnight and disappeared completely. Song Ning said, "With such recalls, the word disappearing is still suitable for many people!" ”

For example, Song Shi'an, he disappeared again after a "flash in the pan".

So many dart masters in the Tiandu dart game have also disappeared.

"I have an idea!" Song Ning said to them, "It made me feel strange that they often changed their swords back then, but if they did something like this tonight, would it be understandable to change their swords frequently?" ”

Killing people often, the blade is no longer sharp when it is damaged, and of course it needs to be replaced constantly.

"But, here's the problem!" Song Ning said, "If it's really them, why are they here?" ”

Song Yuanshi said: "Did someone pay him to save it, or did they take the initiative themselves?" ”

"It's unlikely that someone will pay." Zhao Yi's hand knocked on the table, "Since you can't guess, don't guess anymore, no matter what their reason is, the result is good for us." As for what their purpose is, this is not the most important thing, if you have the guts, you will take it! ”

Song Ning felt that it made sense: "Wait for them to come and take our thanks." ”

"Then rest early," Song Yuanshi said, "it's almost dawn." ”

They went to rest separately, and the night was peaceful, and as soon as the morning dawned, the three of them dragged the prisoner cart covered with black linen cloth, and they had to go back first to find out the identities of these people.
