As soon as dawn came, the entire barracks were boiling, and some of the masters were busy collecting the marching tents, and more were waiting in line to prepare to cross the river. The Qiandu River is twenty or thirty zhang wide, and at this time there is a row of ferries neatly laid on the side, and under the dispatch of Hong Bang and Liang Mingdi, the first group of masters will cross the river in an orderly manner......

Without further ado, the army crossed the river with men and horses for most of the day, and they did not pause, but went directly to the northwest. There was no word all the way, until noon on the third day of departure from Bihai City, the army set foot on the official road from Fengjia to Shuangzidu.

There was no trace of the march of the army in Guanguan Road, and Liang Mingdi and Hong Bang expected that the Jinsha Divine Aunt had not yet arrived, so they deliberately slowed down their pace. Sure enough, as soon as the sky was dark, a large army followed behind him, with tens of thousands of people!

At this time, the army of the crusade against Shuangzidu is considered to have arrived, and more than 20,000 masters are marching on the official road, and they can't see their heads in front and back. As night fell, countless people lit torches and strung together a fire dragon. From a distance, it is as if it reaches the sky! The formation is also quite spectacular.

No matter how mighty the army of the four cities rushed to Shuangzi Capital, at the same time, the Shuangzi Capital City Lord's Mansion was still the hall in the rooftop. Chai Jiuzheng leaned back on the chair leisurely, his legs crossed on the table, with a smile on his face.

On the table are rare melons and fruits from Qiuwaiguan, and the strange fruit fragrance wafts far away, diffusing in the air, adding to the mystery of the night. Beside him, there were two maids hanging their hands, forced by the evil aura on the former's body, and they didn't even dare to come out. On the other hand, Chai Jiuzheng squinted, seemingly enjoying it very much.

After a while, I saw a figure on the windowsill flickering, and a figure opened the curtain and broke in. Chai Jiuzheng seemed to know who was coming, he didn't even open his eyes, and said leisurely: "Deputy City Lord Zhen, if you don't go up the stairs, you just turn over from the balcony~ This balcony is full of cracks, don't let the city lord collapse the city lord's mansion before he has lived for a few days......"

Speaking of this, the two couldn't help but think of the scene not long ago, when Chai Jiuzheng and Yang Xiaolin had a big battle on this rooftop. The movement in that battle was so great that even half of the City Lord's Mansion was almost overturned by them! With the former's skills, he didn't even leave Yang Xiaolin behind, and let the other party escape with the young master of the City Lord Sun. I have to say that this Yang Xiaolin, they have a deep memory of him.

Zhen Lu bypassed the table, sat on the chair with his legs crossed, and replied to what he had just said: "This Sun Chaohai's City Lord's Mansion is also magnanimous, please forgive the little brother for only a few days, and he can't even find the road, so it's better to go directly to the balcony to save trouble! I said, are you powerful people in the south building houses with such bells and whistles? That's really boring!"

Before Chai Jiuzheng could speak, he changed the topic and said: "By the way, Chai City Lord, that Liang Mingdi and Hong Bang have crossed the Qiandu River with a large army, and according to the report from the spies, they have joined the Jinsha Divine Gu and the Shuangfeng Country Lord. It is estimated that in less than a day, we will arrive in Shuangzidu......"

Hearing this, the latter couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, opened his eyes, and an inexplicable smile rose at the corner of his mouth: "Oh~ The heads of the four cities are here......? It's just that I didn't expect Liang Mingdi's movements to be so fast, and they didn't take Shuangzi for a few days, and they came!

On the other hand, the former rubbed his forehead, as if he was a little worried: "Liang Mingdi is not a simple commodity, this time they have gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and we are only five thousand people, plus the original defenders of Shuangzidu, less than eight or nine thousand...... Besides, those subordinates of Sun City Lord, we are also temporarily absorbed, you can see their combat effectiveness~ But don't come to the end of the battle to escape or turn against each other!"

Chai Jiuzheng sneered, looked at him and sneered: "What's the matter, at this point, Brother Zhen has flinched a little? Don't worry, follow the plan set before, it's absolutely no problem! Everyone has his purpose, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in this world, as long as we seize the opportunity, everything is not difficult!"

There was a mystery hidden in Chai Jiuzheng's words, and others seemed to be in a fog when they heard it, but Zhen Lu immediately realized what he meant, so he took over the conversation and said: "Hehe~ Brother Chai is reasonable, anyway, we are also in ruins, so we might as well make a big fuss and turn it upside down!"

This army is about to overwhelm the situation, but the two of them are not anxious at all, and they don't know what they are secretly planning, so fearless.

As he spoke, another person turned in from outside the door, and when he saw that both of them were there, he arched his hand and said: "Chai City Lord, Deputy Zhen City Lord, you are all here!

This person is the master who was lurking in Shuangzi Capital before, and picked up Chai Jiuzheng in the dark alley with a lantern. When the latter saw this person, he hurriedly beckoned and said, "Master Cheng, you have come just in time, and the city lord is looking for you for something!

This person's name is "Cheng Zizhang", and he was originally a lieutenant of the defenders of Bihai City under the name of Chai Jiuzheng. This guy is loyal to Chai Jiuzheng, and he usually acts double-facedly. However, it is precisely because of this that he was able to appease and stabilize the masters, so as to win Chai Jiuzheng's praise.

Even in the past few years when he was hiding in Tibet, he was promoted all the way by Chai Jiuzheng and promoted to "Governor". Now he is the latter's right-hand man, in charge of nearly half of the master's army under Chai Jiu's forehand, and he can be regarded as a powerful figure.

After listening to this, Governor Cheng replied respectfully: "The words of the city lord are like this, the subordinates just heard the rumors, saying that the Four Cities Army is about to arrive, which makes the soldiers and civilians in the city panic. Everyone was thinking about being outnumbered, especially these scattered masters who had just been recruited, where had they seen such a formation, and many of them had already retreated. Therefore, the subordinates came to ask the city lord what he meant, do we want to~" After speaking, I couldn't help but have a cold look in my eyes, and I couldn't help but see that people were cold all over the body.

It seems that this Master Cheng can really guess the former's thoughts, only to see the corners of Chai Jiuzheng's mouth raised, and said: "Hmph, I'll just say, I'm afraid these useless things can't be counted on, I haven't experienced bitterness, and I will only drop the chain at the critical moment!

Then, he added: "You go down and arrange it now, and be sure to arrange all the city defense measures before the Four Cities Army comes." After the siege army comes, no matter what they want to do, we just have to attack first! When the time comes, I will tell you to fight, and you will not be merciful!"

As soon as he heard this, Cheng Duling was a little surprised, so he asked in an uncertain tone: "Lord Chai City, is this ...... Let's ~ really want to fight back? Don't mess with the Four Cities Army at that time, we don't have much chance of winning?"

The latter waved his hand meaninglessly and said, "You just need to do what this city lord asks, and we have our own plans." If anyone disobeys the order, military law will serve!If there is nothing else, you can go quickly~"

Cheng Duling didn't know what their idea was secretly fighting, but after following Chai Jiuzheng for many years, he knew his temper, if he dared to say half a "no", I was afraid that he would immediately be in a different place!

As soon as the man retreated, Chai Jiuzheng turned around and said to Zhen Lu: "In this way, Deputy City Lord Zhen, you also go to supervise the fortifications in the city, and be sure to arrange Shuangzi as if you are facing a great enemy." Let's act and act, don't just be pretty~"

I don't know what vicious things I thought, I looked at his face with a sneer, and his whole body was awe-inspiring: "Hehe, how many people do they come, and what do they have to do with us? I'm going to let that Liang Mingtu come and go......"

"Yes!Everything is at the behest of Brother Chai~ Oh no, the city lord of Chai commands!hehe......" Guan Zhenlu slowly disappeared into the night with a sinister smile......

The next day, as soon as the sky was dawning, Chai Jiuzheng changed into a strong outfit and covered most of his face with a silver mask. He paced out, standing in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, looking at the thick dark clouds in the sky. I saw that the morning sun, which had not yet fully risen, was almost obscured by dark clouds again. I couldn't help but murmur: "It's about to change......"

The voice came from inside the mask, making a low humming sound, and I didn't know what kind of expression it was on its face hidden under the mask.

Zhen Lu turned out from the corner of the mansion, saw the former from a distance, walked quickly, and hurriedly said: "Brother Chai, the ...... of the Four Cities Army" Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the former with a wave of his hand: "Well, I know! Let's not delay, let's go, let's go and see the situation together." ”

The two of them walked out of the City Lord's Mansion without hurrying and headed in the direction of the east gate. The drumming and shouting of the army were faintly heard outside the city, and it was getting closer and closer, and the masters in the city were so nervous that they were sweating, and when they saw the two of them, they all got out of the way.

Their eyes staring at Chai Jiuzheng and Zhen Lu were quite complicated, and at this time, Cheng Zizhang rode out of the oblique thorn and shouted at those masters: "What are you still doing in a daze?! The enemy outside the city is about to attack, and the defense on the city wall is still missing, so why don't you just stand here and wait for death!? Hurry up and go to the various city gates and wait for the order of the Chai City Lord!"

At this time, those masters did not leave, but only heard one of them muster up the courage to shout: "Liang Mingdi is not our enemy! You Chai Jiuzheng has taken Shuangzi Capital by cruel means, and heaven does not tolerate it! Now that the master army of the four cities has come, we have no grievances with them, we are all our own family, why do we want to fight each other with swords? In my opinion, you better not come by force, and hand over Shuangzi Capital. If we start the real fire, once we start fighting, we will be all done!"

The other master beside him didn't have time to cover his mouth, and when he saw that Chai Jiuzheng's whole body began to exude cold air, he had to hurry up and play a round: "No, no, no, Chai City Lord, Cheng Supervisor, my friend is new to the world, and he doesn't speak through his brain! You adults have a lot, so you have the right to let him fart......"

Cheng Duling sneered, didn't pay attention to him, but pointed the whip in his hand at the person who spoke just now: "This master has the guts! I don't know if I can step forward and speak and report your name!?"

Ignoring the dissuasion of his companions, the master took a step forward, looking at his upright face and youthful appearance. He stared at Cheng Zizhang's eyes fearlessly, and said word by word: "What I said is the truth! If you don't stop it, beware of the catastrophe! You remember, my name...... Uh......"

Before the words fell, everyone could only hear a muffled snort from his throat~ Looking over again, they found that Chai Jiuzheng appeared behind him like a ghost at some point! The snow-white tip of the Ghost King Knife, flashing with a cold light, had burst out of his chest! Seeing this strange scene, everyone couldn't help but look at it!

The former had to stare at his eyes, with a look of disbelief, and at the last moment before his consciousness dissipated, only one sentence flashed in his mind before he could say it: Okay~ So fast!

Silent, as silent as stagnant water, everyone looked at the first two in amazement, and Guan Chai Jiu was pressing the back of the head of the person in front of him, and slowly pulled out the Ghost King Knife. With a "poof", the master's corpse fell weakly~ Only the bright ghost king knife stabbed everyone's eyes - looking at this in and out, there was not even a drop of blood on the knife!

Everyone was like puppets in place, and even Governor Cheng couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, thinking that this Chai Jiuzheng was really ruthless and killed without blinking!

The latter's cold gaze, hidden under the mask, swept over everyone, and saw everyone's hairs stand on end. At this time, Chai Jiuzheng said in a voice that seemed to come from the depths of hell: "Whoever dares to say half a word to disturb the morale of the army, then the next one will end like this! If you dare to be disloyal to the city lord, the consequences will not be as easy as now! Why are you stunned? Why don't you hurry up and guard the defense line!"

Although everyone was discouraged, the goal of deterrence had been achieved, and no one dared to make a head bird at this moment, so they hurriedly rushed to various defensive and offensive gaps. After a while, only Chai Jiuzheng and Zhen Lu remained in place, ignoring the corpses lying on the ground, and continued to march in the direction of the east gate. In the houses on both sides of the street, many people witnessed all this through the cracks in the window lattices, and they couldn't help but feel chills......

On the east gate of the city, huge guns and crossbows were lined up and aimed at the outside of the city. The tip of the crossbow flashed with a cold light, reflecting on the faces of the masters who were looking at each other, forming a stark contrast.

Behind the crossbow were rows of archers, the arrows had been wound, just waiting for the commander to give the order. Chai Jiuzheng and Zhen Lu slowly walked up the city wall, looked at the soldiers who were waiting for the battle, and nodded secretly, thinking that Cheng Governor was still reliable, and the city defense was arranged so quickly. So he set his sights on the outside of the city.

Far away, smoke billowed there, and the sound of uniform footsteps beat like gongs and drums in everyone's hearts. Every half a moment, a shout of unisonance came from that side, which resounded through the sky! The war drums roared, clearly spreading to every corner of Shuangzi Capital, and all the people were oppressed by this momentum, but Chai Jiuzheng, on the other hand, was getting more and more excited.

As the four-city army got closer and closer, six figures slowly appeared in the billowing smoke...... It's not Liang Mingdi, who else can it be!

He was surrounded by Shen Tuliu, Jinsha Shengu, Hong Bang, Yang Xiaolin, and a lean old man. The old man may have been in the age of sixtieth year, his hair was gray, extremely long, and he was simply tied to the back of his head, which gave him the feeling of a fairy wind and bones. At this time, he was wearing a long robe, and a decorative sword was tied diagonally around his waist. Judging from the whole person, it seems to be full of energy.

There is no need to guess, this person must be the lord of Shuangfeng Country.

Behind them, the 20,000-strong army gradually slowed down, and seeing that it was getting closer and closer to Shuangzidu, it also moved its formation away. Seeing that it was orderly and uniform, after a while, most of the Shuangzi were surrounded.

Looking at such a battle, the masters on the city wall couldn't help but play a small drum in their hearts, only Na Chai Jiuzheng suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha...... With so many people as guests, please forgive Chai for not being able to welcome you from afar!Big brother, I haven't seen you for four years, but the third brother misses you so much~"

As soon as he heard this, Liang Mingtu couldn't help but become angry, and as soon as he clamped the Tenglang horse under his crotch, he saw a man and a horse with a series of afterimages, and ran to the city in the blink of an eye.

The latter looked up at the former for a long time, and then snorted coldly: "Chai Jiuzheng, the relationship between you and me was broken off four years ago! Have you ever remembered what Liang said to you before: From the day you betrayed Bihai City, you have nothing to do with Bihai City and the three brothers. When we meet again, we'll be enemies! You haven't forgotten this, have you?"

After a pause, he continued: "Now that you don't want to repent, you have intensified, breaking the covenant, harming the innocent, mutilating the Sun City Lord's family, and forcibly seizing Shuangzi Capital...... Can you plead guilty to these charges?"

Chai Jiuzheng was unmoved, neither admitting nor denying it, but shouted: "Don't tell me so high-sounding! Think a few years ago, I and all the masters under my hands were expelled from Bihai City by you, and you have taken care of these days when you were sleeping in the open air? Moreover, Sun Chaohai of Shuangzidu relied on himself to be the lord of a city, and forcibly looted the people's wealth, you see, such a small city, his city lord's mansion is more luxurious than any mansion in the world!

Besides, when I take down Shuangzi Capital, apart from imposing 'sanctions' on the Sun City Lord's family, I have not hurt the people at all, and these are all justified and well-founded. Tell me, what did I do wrong?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaolin in the distance shouted angrily, rode his horse and rushed over, stopped beside Liang Mingdi, pointed at Chai Jiuzheng's nose and began to scold: "Bah! You shameless guy, you don't have a weak heart when you say this? Although Shuangzi is small, relying on the city lord's psychological government for many years, the people will not suffer from the war, and it can be regarded as long-term peace and stability. Even if the city lord is usually a little greedy for small fortunes, it is definitely not what you said, 'the common people live in dire straits'!

Besides, even if he does something wrong, it is also a family matter of our Shuangfeng Kingdom, where is your turn to speak! It's not just a set of excuses that you made up to confuse the eyes and ears of the world! What I, Yang Xiaolin, have heard and seen with my own ears are clearly that you are cold-blooded and ruthless, cruelly slaughtering the city lord's family, and you don't even let go of children...... The evidence is conclusive, and you still want to quibble? Lao Tzu vows to stand against you!"

At this time, Liang Mingdi took over the conversation and said: "Chai Jiuzheng, don't fake it here, everyone's eyes are bright." Four years ago, when you betrayed Bihai City and joined the Fusheng Ghost King, everyone saw it!

On the other hand, Chai Jiuzheng didn't get angry but laughed: "Hmph! Don't tell me these big truths, I have my own way to deal with corpse monsters." There is a saying that if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell and get a tiger if I don't go to the tiger's den? Don't think that you will act in the open, fighting against the corpse monsters for decades, and the common people are still in dire straits!"

After a pause, he sneered in a "heartbroken" tone: "If it weren't for your indecisiveness, how could the army of corpse monsters be secretly growing and growing? If you're sure, let the horses come!"

Liang Mingdi gritted his teeth, looked at the former and said word by word: "Okay~ Okay!

At this time, Hong Bang slowly rode forward from behind, playing a round field: "Okay, Liang City Lord, let's have something to discuss, don't hurt the harmony...... Then he raised his head and shouted at Chai Jiuzheng: "Chai Jiuzheng! You have repeatedly made big mistakes, take advantage of the time to turn back now, maybe you can save the overall situation." You know we're going to fight, and it's going to be a mess!"

"Now Hong put forward two opinions, for your reference: First, the four-city army will besiege the city! Everyone will see the true chapter under their hands, and we will definitely take back Shuangzi at all costs! Second, our five city lords (lords) will enter the city alone, and everyone will negotiate a feasible method together, and the four-city army will retreat three miles to show sincerity. I don't know ~ what is Brother Chai going to do?"

Obviously, this method was discussed before they came, and as long as Chai Jiuzheng could agree to the second article, then things would be much easier. And he should also know that if the siege army rushes up, they have almost no chance of winning, and in the end, they are not forced to compromise.

Which Cheng thought, but Chai Jiuzheng didn't think like this, but sneered: "Don't think I don't know what you guys are secretly fighting, if you are allowed to come in, if you are allowed to come in, our lives will not be guaranteed! In the end, it's not to go back to Shuangzidu! Don't say anything, I won't compromise, so~"

At this point, I saw him slowly raise a hand, and the masters behind him raised their bows that had already been drawn. The rows of arrows shone with a cold light, pointing directly at the three people under the city and the 20,000 troops behind them......
