Chapter 5: The Quest (5)

"General Zhou—" "General Zhou died in battle!" "Avenge General Zhou!" The incident happened suddenly, and the assassins did not have time to react properly. Screaming loudly, he swarmed the corpse of the Assassin leader.

They are not real heroes in the rivers and lakes, real heroes in the rivers and lakes, when they see that the situation is not good, they will immediately panic and flee. However, they habitually try to snatch the corpse of their target in order to avoid being severely punished by military law in the future.

Riders on horseback, no matter which yamen they come from. With a clear call from the leader, Qi Qi stretched out his arm diagonally, the tip of the knife obliquely outward, the blade backhanded the horizontal end, and his feet slammed the stirrup hard. With the speed of his mount, he drove straight in, and in an instant, the Assassin's team was torn apart.

"Ah——!": "Ah——!hh The Assassins, who had been ferocious before, fell in half like wheat beaten by hail. More than one wound appeared on each of those who fell. Each wound was less than three inches deep, but one and a half feet long. Scarlet plasma, like an upside-down waterfall, gushes out along the wound.

"Spare your life—" The other half of the assassins, who were lucky enough not to be touched by the blade, quickly came back to their senses. He threw his weapon to the ground, and fled to the houses by the roadside.

"Stop them!" the leader of the cavalry let out another clear cry. Turning his horse, he chased after the nearest assassin. The blue clouds under his crotch were as fast as lightning, and in three or two vertical jumps, he passed by the assassin. The steel knife in his hand gently moved forward with the speed of the horse, and with a "poof", it wiped a two-foot-long wound diagonally from the back of the assassin to his shoulder.

Blood spurted out, and the strength of the assassin's body was immediately drained. He didn't even shout out a scream, and fell to the ground with convulsions and died miserably.

The other riders also instigated their horses, each keeping an eye on one or two Assassins, in hot pursuit. How could a two-legged man outrun a four-legged mount? In the blink of an eye, the fleeing assassin was overturned by more than half. The few who remained rolled quickly on the ground with their heads in their hands. While rolling, a desperate cry came out of his mouth, "Spare my life!" The woman spares my life——! I have an eighty-year-old mother at home, and there is a ...... below."

"Leave a few alive!" At this time, Zheng Ziming finally ran back. The strength of the whole body was exerted on the two legs, all supported by the steel whip, so that he did not fall directly, "Leave a few alive, ask, ask who sent them!"

"What qualifications do you have to give me orders?" the leader of the cavalry, who had been called a heroine by the Assassins, sneered loudly and urged his mount to break a tendon not far away from an Assassin who had just stopped rolling.

"Kill them all, and then let's go!" ordered a female guard beside the cavalry leader. Immediately, he leaned down and swung his knife vigorously. Cut the nearest Assassin in two.

"Yes!" The cavalry deliberately did not save face for Zheng Ziming, and loudly agreed, riding their horses and rushing towards the remaining assassins, slashing horizontally and vertically with steel knives in their hands, cutting the last few assassins who had lost the courage to resist into a blur of flesh and blood.

"Teacher, junior sister, you, why are you here? I, I asked Brother Han to bring you a gift, you, you have received it!" Zheng Ziming didn't dare to be angry at all, raised his head, looked at the frosty face of the cavalry leader, and greeted him in a curt.

Since the moment he gained a firm foothold in Lijiazhai, the one he wanted to see the most and was most afraid of seeing was this woman. Master Chen Quan's closed disciple, the pearl of Engong Changsi's palm, Shi Yanbao's childhood sweetheart, and Chang Jiawanying.

"The little girl and Master Zheng have never known each other in their lives, but they don't dare to accept your gifts!" Chang Wanying refused to look at him, stared into the distance with her eyes, and continued to sneer. "I didn't dismantle anything, put it on the carriage and send it back to the Assassin Yamen. Don't worry, we're just passing by by by chance, and we can leave!

With that, he slammed the reins of the war horse with his left hand, turned around and left. Zheng Ziming was so ashamed that his face was red, and he hurriedly chased after him with an arrow, raised his hand and grabbed the middle of the reins, and asked loudly: "Senior sister, junior sister, don't go, you listen to me!"

"Please respect yourself, General Zheng. Between me and you, there's nothing to say!" Chang Wanying shook the end of the reins and twitched hard, but failed to let Zheng Ziming's hand go. Leaned over slightly, and shouted condescendingly.

"I, I'm ......" Zheng Ziming had a blood mark drawn from the back of his hand, but he didn't feel any pain at all. I could only feel that Dao had two sharp swords, stabbing down from mid-air and piercing into my heart.

After hiding for more than a year, what should have been faced a long time ago, but still not hidden. He knew that he should give Chang Wanying an explanation, but he didn't know how to organize his words! How could those incomplete memory fragments, those old dreams, be said clearly?

"Okay, General Zheng, it's the little woman who doesn't have long eyes, and she recognized the wrong person at the beginning! You are not Shi Yanbao, from the beginning, you weren't!" Seeing Zheng Ziming muttering for a long time, he couldn't even find a hypocritical excuse. Chang Wanying's heart became colder and colder, like drinking ice in the moon. He smiled, raised the steel knife in his right hand, and cut the reins of the war horse into two pieces.

Bi Yuncong finally got rid of the fetters, hissed, and turned around and walked. Zheng Ziming was stunned, dropped the steel whip and pounced forward, "Wanying, don't go! I am Shi, I, I have been to Liaodong." I really didn't want to let you down! I, I've been thinking about you almost every day for more than a year!"

When the words fell, he himself felt numb, and his originally blushing face became more and more red to almost dripping blood. However, his hands did not hesitate to grab the hip belt of the war horse and held on to it. (Note 1)

"The surname Zheng, let it go, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!" Chang Wanying turned her head, the steel knife was held high, and she was about to split.

"Don't go!" Zheng Ziming's feet were pulled by Biyuncong, and he dragged out two long soil ditches on the ground. His eyes looked at Chang Wanying's eyes and shook his head vigorously, "Don't go, give me a little time." I've been to Liaodong, and I already know who I am! I'll always have a way to explain it to you!"

"I don't want to hear it! The person I know is called Shi Yanbao, and you are not him. Chang Wanying waved her arm down, and the blade swept out a bolt of lightning. However, after all, he couldn't be ruthless, and cut off the guy who was unlucky. At the last moment, he raised his hand and threw the steel knife far away, smashing up a cloud of green smoke.

"I don't want to hear it, so don't bother. I gave you more than a year. I am waiting for you to give me an explanation every day, but in your letter, in your letter, but, you only have to fight, fight, fight. As the steel knife fell to the ground, the ice in her heart instantly turned into cold water, flowing wantonly down her eyes. "If you are unlucky, I will admit it. Anyway, you can explain it to me. Like this, what is procrastination? Shi Xiaobao, what do you want?"

"Don't, don't cry, don't cry!" For Zheng Ziming at this moment, compared to the steel knife, the deterrent effect of tears seems to be greater. Tie your hands and stammer. "I, I'm not, not trying to lie to you. I, I really don't know myself, I don't know what to say. But, but no matter what, I won't let you go again!"

"If you don't let me go, do you want to kidnap the ticket? What qualifications do you have to not let me go?" Chang Wanying heard this, and her tears became more and more uncontrollable. Raise your hand to cover your face and ask loudly.

Dingzhou and Taiyuan seem to be far away, but in fact they are only separated by a Taihang Mountain. As long as you pay attention to it, how can you hide what is happening on this side of the mountain?

Over the past year or so, countless rumors have spread wantonly in Taiyuan, Zezhou, and Luzhou. ungrateful, unkind, chaotic and abandoned, countless words that would have appeared on the stage were related to her. But she had to bite the bullet and explain to her father, brother and sister, and the elders of the Chang family, to emphasize that Shi Yanbao she knew was not the kind of person who had no heart. lest the father and elders be angry and lead the soldiers and horses over the mountains and mountains.

Finally, one day, she didn't have to bother explaining anymore. The ruthless man who changed his surname to Zheng made a name for himself in Hebei. With soldiers and horses, there is territory, no longer need to rely on the Chang family, and there is no longer a need to fear the Chang family.

"I'm Shi Yanbao, and I'm also Zheng Ziming!" A familiar voice sounded in my ears again, sounding so serious and extremely absurd. "I'm not going to let you go. Even if Chang Jiedu led troops to the door. Senior sister, you should be greedy enough for me. I want to marry you, I'll marry you right away!"

The first half of "You ......" also made Chang Wanying angry. The last sentence made her instantly ashamed and unable to let go of the hand covering her face, "You, what kind of crazy thing are you talking about." How many times did I say I wanted to marry you? Why should I marry you?"

"I will immediately write to Brother Guo Rong to be a matchmaker and go to your house to propose marriage. The father-in-law will definitely not refuse. Suddenly, Zheng Ziming raised his head and added loudly. "I can be a defensive envoy, and he has a lot of strength behind him. If he doesn't approve of our affairs, why should he help me?"

"Gao! The defense makes the adult Gao!" Pan Mei, Fan Zheng and others, who were hiding not far away and eavesdropping, secretly raised their thumbs up, and admired the wit of their own adults.

Chang Si helped Zheng Ziming seek an official position, of course, mainly because he was entrusted by Guo Wei to support rising stars for the same camp. However, it seems to make sense to say that his behavior is that his father-in-law is supporting his son-in-law. After all, Zheng Ziming is from his disciple, and he seems to have had a white head appointment with her daughter. After the marriage of the Chang and Zheng families, their power spanned Hedong and Hebei. No matter which side the court wants to move, it has to weigh it carefully.

"You, you don't, scoundrel!" Chang Wanying herself, of course, would not agree with Zheng Ziming's statement. However, for a while, there was no reason to refute it. He could only turn his face to the other side of the horse and curse in a dumb voice. "You married me, how did you arrange that person surnamed Tao? And that person surnamed Huyan? Shi Xiaobao, you are really very shameless, you are even more shameless than when you were a child!"

"I, I'm not ......" Zheng Ziming's head suddenly became as big as a fight, and his hands swung vigorously. I was about to say that at most, I still wanted to marry Tao Sanchun, and I had nothing to do with the sister of the Huyan family. As soon as the words stammered to his lips, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, "Of, of, ......of, of,

Not knowing whether it was friend or foe, he instinctively closed his mouth and looked up. I saw Tao Sanchun and Hu Yanyun, one in front of the other, rushing towards him like a lightning speed. Behind the two of them is the Cangzhou cavalry of the brigade, with the flags rolled up, and the swords and guns reflect the cold.
