Although Zhou Duan was defeated this time, he has lived in Yongzhou for generations, and his roots are deep, so he may lead his troops to counterattack.

"Yes!"

Tang Cheng just got up, walked to the center of the main hall, knelt on one knee at Qin Ying, and said in a loud voice: "The last general will not disgrace his mission!" ”

After speaking, he got up and stepped forward to take the official document and the tiger talisman from Qin Ying's hand, and bowed his hand slightly to Qin Yiqi on the side, and quickly left.

Qin Yiqi picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea in the cup, then put the teacup down, groaned slightly, and rushed to Qin Ying, who was on the top, and said: "Fourth brother, the garrison of Yongzhou City is currently unavailable, if Zhou Duan really leads his troops to attack, only 3,000 soldiers in the Tiger Camp are afraid that it will be difficult to resist." ”

verified the case, but found out that a first-class military marquis plotted against the case, and finally caught the head of the thief, but he didn't look at it and let people save him.

With so much trouble, even if Qin Yiqi is not the chief case-handling official, he also feels a deep headache.

"Yongzhou is adjacent to Qianzhou, and Qin Fengmu's city lord's mansion is in Shicheng in Qianzhou, although it is far away, I am sure that he can lead the army in time."

Compared with Qin Yiqi's distress and worry, Qin Ying was calm and calm, not worried at all by the current predicament.

When Qin Yiqi heard him say this, he instantly realized: "Could it be that you have sent a message to Qin Fengmu asking for help?" ”

"No, I ordered Lu Qing to go to Qianzhou to determine a few things, presumably he has already met with Qin Fengmu at this time......"

At that time, according to the Shicheng City Lord's Mansion of more than 500 miles, outside the gate, Lu Qing, Qin Fengmu, and an elite team of more than 50 people jumped on horseback at the same time, heroic and mighty, awe-inspiring, and ready to go.

With Qin Fengmu's order, everyone waved their whips at the same time, and the horses were stimulated, neighed, raised their hooves and galloped towards Yongzhou.

After them, Qin Fengmu's partial generals also led an army of 50,000 people to support them in their direction.

Outside Yongzhou City, Zhoujiazhuang

In the humble cellar under the ancestral hall of the Zhou family, Zhou Duan, Xu Hu, and Song Tu sat around a small square wooden table, and there was nothing else on the table except for a candle flame and a set of crude tea sets.

Under the light of the candlelight, it can be seen that the faces of Zhou Duan and Xu Hu are extremely ugly.

"Sir, I'm not willing to fail like this, Mr. help me!"

Zhou Duan suddenly raised his head, his gaze shifted from the candle flame to Song Tu's still unwavering face, his eyes were full of anger, unwillingness, hope and other emotions.

The fire and the day of the explosion have been ascertained, and everything is just because of two words - Jiang Chuge.

He shouldn't have let her go in the first place, otherwise she wouldn't have the life to sneak back to the city, make explosives bags to deal with the Northern Youguo, destroy his armory, and make his years of hard work go down the drain!

Seeing that he took the initiative to speak, Song Tu finally said the first sentence after he entered this dark cellar: "Master Hou, if you stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, you can go to Beiyou with me, and when he is ready for everything, he will lead the people to make a comeback, overthrow the world of his Qin family, and hate him with blood today!" ”

"No, sir, I've been waiting for more than forty years and don't want to wait any longer!"

Zhou Duan couldn't accept Song Tu's opinion, and the resentment in his heart made him emotional, his hands clenched into fists, and Yin Wu's eyes were full of viciousness.

Seeing this scene, Song Tu lowered his head slightly and fell silent.

"Hou Ye really doesn't wait, no matter what the price is?"

After a long time, he spoke again, and there was a hint of temptation in his tone.

"Yes!"

Zhou Duan's eyes were half-narrowed, and they were full of determination.

"That being the case, I have a dangerous trick of painting my face and changing my skin, but before that, Hou Ye has to find someone who practices martial arts and has a similar body shape to you to be your stand-in and die for you!"

As he spoke, Song Tu looked at Xu Hu on the side with a strange expression.

Xu Hu's heart suddenly had a crisis, he was indeed similar to Zhou Duan's physique, and he was a person who practiced martial arts......

"Master Hou, your subordinates are loyal to you, you can't ......"

Xu Hu suddenly got up, his expression anxious and vigilant, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

"Captain Xu, Ben Hou is giving you a chance to show your loyalty!"

Zhou Duan has long been blinded by greed, as long as he can achieve his goal, let alone Xu Hu's life, even if it is a person who slaughters a city, he will not hesitate to do it.

Xu Hu saw the resolute look in Zhou Duan's eyes, and knew that he couldn't change his decision, but if he wanted him to be so restrained and go to be the dead ghost, he couldn't do it.

So, he retreated suddenly, pulled out the saber hanging from his waist, and glared at the two of them with vigilance and resentment: "Zhou Duan, I have been by your side for more than ten years, and I have done all the bad things, since I will inevitably die, I will definitely take you, the culprit, to see the king of Hades!" ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Hu's big knife swung suddenly, kicked under his feet, and his figure suddenly burst into the periphery.

The cold light of the big knife was close to the human eye, and a trace of killing intent flashed in Zhou Duan's eyes, and his right hand was about to hit Xu Hu's heart into a claw.

"Let me come!"

Just a moment before he was about to make a move, Song Tu suddenly said that he was going to make a move.

I saw that with a wave of his left sleeve, some dark cyan medicinal powder suddenly flew out of his sleeve, and instantly scattered on Xu Hu's door.

Xu Hu was defenseless, couldn't react, and sucked a little in.

He suddenly felt a numbness suddenly invade his limbs, and his legs were weak, and he couldn't support the weight of his body at all.

There was a muffled sound of "bump", Xu Hu uncontrollably planted to the ground, and the big knife in his hand also fell to the side with a "bell".

Since Xu Hu has to be the substitute ghost of Zhou Duan, he can't die under the heart-picking claw.

"What is this?"

Zhou Duan looked at Song Tu with puzzled eyes.

"Bone stiffness can numb the body and make it impossible to move, but consciousness and perception are not affected."

Bone stiffness is listed as a ninth-rate evil medicine, but all righteous gentlemen and people who cherish their reputation disdain to use this thing.

And when Song Tu was solving Zhou Duan's doubts, he took it for granted, and he didn't feel despicable at all because of using this thing.

"Master Hou, please take this pill, and then I will exchange skins with Xu Hu for you."

Song Tu took out a jade bottle from the clothes on his chest, poured out a black pill and handed it to Zhou Duan.

“…… Good. ”

Looking at the black pill in front of him, Zhou Duan hesitated slightly, and finally gritted his teeth and took it.

After taking the pill, after only a few breaths, his eyes turned black and he quickly fainted.

Song Tu supported him in time and put him on the ground, and then moved Xu Hu, who was numb and unable to move, to Zhou Duan's side.

Subsequently, Song Tu lit many candles in the dark cellar, illuminating the entire dark cellar as bright as day.

He squatted down next to Xu Hu, took out a sharp and thin-bladed small knife from his sleeve, and after a burst of burning on the flames, he cut straight at Xu Hu's face without any anesthesia......

Dark clouds cover the moon, and the night is clear.

At the moment, a soldier of the Huben battalion suddenly rushed into Tang Chenggang's camp: "Report, the chaotic party has appeared outside the south city gate!" ”

Tang Chenggang turned over, quickly put on his armor, grabbed the weapon hanging from the bed, the double whip with barbs, and quickly headed towards the gate of the southern city with the soldier who had been announced.

Standing on the tall city wall, Tang Chenggang used the light of the torches at the head of the city to clearly see that under the city wall, a man wearing a school lieutenant's uniform and describing an embarrassed man pushed a person with a cart and stood under the city wall, waiting for them to open the city gate for him.

"Who's under the city?"

Tang Chenggang gathered his internal strength, and his voice traveled far away.

"I am Xu Hu, the partial general of Zhou Duan of Yongzhou, Zhou Duan treason and rebellion, many crimes, I have made meritorious contributions to the crime, I have beheaded him, and I also ask the Lord to present it on behalf of the prince of Yi."

After speaking, "Xu Hu" turned the person in the carriage over, and the person was facing up on his back.

When Tang Cheng first entered the court to report on his work, he had several encounters with Zhou Duan, and was deeply impressed by this famous first-class military marquis, and recognized this person as Zhou Duan, the Marquis of Yongzhou, by his face at a glance.

So, he said loudly to the "Xu Hu" under the city: "You wait here, and the captain of this school will go to report to King Yi." ”

After speaking, he took a few steps towards the inner wall and told the centurion who was following him: "Be careful, don't be careless." ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded with their fists clenched, and Tang Chenggang walked down the city wall, rode on a fast horse, and galloped towards the post house.

In the post house, Qin Ying came out of the study, planning to go to see how far Shi Wushuang's treatment of Yang Hong and the others had progressed.

However, he hadn't taken a few steps before he saw a guard leading Tang Chenggang into the courtyard where the study was located and hurried towards him.

"The last general will see the prince!"

Xu Hu saw Qin Ying, strode forward, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Lord Wang, Zhou Duan's deputy general Xu Hu appeared outside the South City Gate and pushed a cart, and the person on the cart was Zhou Duan. According to what he said, he had the idea of making meritorious service for his crimes, and beheaded Zhou Duan under the knife. Lord, do you want to open the city gate and let him in? ”

"This king will go and see first!"

Qin Ying frowned, intuition that things were not so simple.

After several hours of non-stop needle pricking, changing dressings, and assisting in the exercise of pranayama, Shi Wushuang finally completely lifted the poison in Yang Hong and others in Jiang Chuge's nervousness and expectation.

He got up, his body shook, and Jiang Chuge hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"Are you alright?"

"Excessive attrition, just rest for a few days."

Continuously using Juyuan Gong to catalyze the medicinal properties of drugs in the body for more than 30 people, the loss is huge, and Rao is unparalleled in the world feels enough.

He tugged at the corners of Jiang Chuge's mouth, and his smile looked a little weak because of the paleness of his face.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Chuge felt guilty in his heart: "I'll help you go to rest ......"

"Lord Jiang, Xu Hu suddenly pushed Zhou Duan's corpse and appeared outside the South City Gate, Prince Yi has gone to check, Prince Qi ordered me to ask you, do you want to go with him to take a look?"

Before Jiang Chuge could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Zhong, who came in a hurry.

"Go if you want, I can go back to my room by myself."

Shi Wushuang knew that Jiang Chuge would not worry about Qin Ying, even though this worry seemed redundant.

"Thank you."

Jiang Chuge took a step back, bowed to the world, and after expressing his gratitude in his own way, he left with Wu Zhong.

After she left, Shi Wushuang's originally light and gentle complexion gradually sank.

Song Tu, the Northern Poison Saint, appeared in the Eastern Qing Dynasty and rescued Zhou Duan, how could he let Zhou Duan die at the hands of Xu Hu?

Even though Song Tu gave up after saving people, and Zhou Duan had been injured by Qin Ying earlier, he still didn't believe that Xu Hu would be Zhou Duan's opponent.

Thinking about it carefully, Shi Wushuang deeply feels that all this should be a game!

However, with Qin Ying's ability and wisdom, it should be able to be resolved smoothly.

Thinking so, he let go of his thoughts and went to the room that Qin Ying had ordered someone to prepare for him to meditate and recuperate in order to recover his internal strength.

Jiang Chuge and Wu Zhong rushed to the gate of the post house, and after meeting with Qin Yiqi, the three of them galloped towards the south city gate.

In the middle of the night, Yongzhou City is silent, and the horse's hooves are in contact with the bluestone floor, making a crisp tapping sound, which spreads far away because of the silence of the night, giving people a sense of lonely vicissitudes.

On the streets, there was no one except the watchmen and the patrolling soldiers.

Wu Zhong rode his horse and galloped forward, but whenever he encountered a patrol soldier, he held up a gold token with one hand and shouted: "King Qi travels, wait for the speed to avoid!" ”

As a result, the three of them smoothly arrived at the south gate and climbed the tall and majestic city wall.

A scene outside the city instantly entered Jiang Chuge's eyes.

"Zhou Duan" was lying on his back on the cart, his chest clothes soaked with blood, and he seemed to have lost his life.

And "Xu Hu" stood next to the cart, looking up at the city wall, looking calm and respectful, and looking loyal.
