After the troops stopped, Zhang Lang ordered 100 people to lead the troops and explore the way, but as he expected, the trap was undoubtedly exposed when he approached Jiqiu City about 200 meters. More than half of the 100 soldiers were killed or wounded. It's not even halfway there. Zhang Lang was distressed, he had not yet reached the city wall, he was afraid that he had suffered heavy casualties, and what was waiting for him on the towering city tower was still unknown, and he took his brother's surname to fill the trap and capture Jiqiu, which was not what Zhang Lang wanted to see. The order was immediately given to withdraw the troops.

That night, Zhang Lang discussed with Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others, Rao is far-sighted and strategic, and it is inevitable that there will be some signs of shortcomings in such a situation.

Finally, at the suggestion of Pang Tong, Zhang Lang sent people to Chuyang overnight and asked his father-in-law (Huang Chengyan) to come and persuade him, hoping that Lu Ying could surrender.

But there are thousands of miles between Chuyang and Jiqiu, and it takes at least a month to go back and forth, so the appointment with Lu Ying has passed, "Ten days to capture the city!" ”

A group of people were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, especially Dian Wei, who couldn't wait to rush into Jiqiu with his axe and cut Lu Ying's guy.

In fact, Zhang Lang, Guo Jia, and Pang Tong already had a plan in their hearts, but they all felt that this trip hurt the heavens and peace, and if it was not necessary, they would never use this method.

The sky was already faintly bright. When Zhang Lang and the others were still discussing how to attack Jiqiu in the tent, they heard the eagle guard outside the tent saying: "Report to the lord, Huang Chengyan, a famous man in Chuyang, asks to see him." ”

"Huang Chengyan!" Zhang Lang subconsciously shouted out this name, immediately reacted, and rushed out of the tent to greet his father-in-law - Huang Chengyan!

I haven't seen him for a few years, Huang Chengyan's beard has grown a lot, but he still gives people the feeling of fairy wind and bones, and he stands outside the tent energetically. Zhang Lang stepped forward to ask for Andao: "Son-in-law Zhang Lang, I've seen my father-in-law!" ”

Huang Chengyan blocked Zhang Lang's kneeling action: "General Zhang doesn't have to be polite, you are the dragon and phoenix among the people, and the old man can't stand your worship." Zhang Lang stood up as he said.

Pang Tong behind him stepped forward and hugged his fist at Huang Chengyan and said, "Shiyuan has seen uncle!" ”

"You don't have to be polite!"

Zhang Lang smiled and wanted to invite Huang Chengyan into the tent, but Huang Chengyan said: "No need, the old man came here for my criminal." General Zhang didn't have to be retained. I'm here to tell you that although Lu Ying was taught by me, he is very talented, and he is constantly studying and learning my trap technique, and he is also constantly improving. The old man is not sure that he can fully understand his technique this time, if I have three long and two short, Yueying will be handed over to you. It stands to reason that it is not surprising that Huang Chengyan knows that Lu Ying voted for Cao Ying, and it is not strange to know that Lu Ying is an official. However, what makes Zhang Lang and others strange is why Huang Chengyan is so suitable? Obviously, he came to help Zhang Lang.

With questions, Zhang Lang asked: "How did the old man know that the son-in-law is fighting against Lu Ying." ”

Seeing that Zhang Lang saw through it, Huang Chengyan did not hide it: "Since General Zhang sent troops to Xuzhou, the old man has watched the sky at night, knowing that General Zhang will fight against my criminals here, and the old man still calculates that he has a big catastrophe here." I want to understand the heavenly machine again, but I don't know what happened next. The old man hurriedly followed General Zhang. ”

Zhang Lang looked at his father-in-law in surprise, no matter what the purpose was, Huang Chengyan actually said that he had calculated that there would be such a situation, and he had already caught up with him, could it be that there was really such a magical magic in the world?

Zhang Lang couldn't persuade him repeatedly, so he had to send Huang Xu to lead the Eagle Guard to protect Huang Chengyan and go to Jiqiu City.

When he arrived at the place where he was killed during the day, Huang Xu reminded: "Mr. Huang be careful, there is a mechanism here." ”

How could Huang Chengyan not know that he saw the arrangement of the organs in the formation, so he dismounted and left, for a long time, Huang Chengyan walked only a few dozen meters, and he was already sweating profusely. Take an hour!

Huang Chengyan slowly began to understand the catastrophe he calculated, it turned out to be here, and the trap along the way was also cracked, although the order was changed, but Huang Chengyan was still able to find a way out with the change of the trap, and the more and more chaotic he walked in the formation, suddenly, I saw Huang Chengyan make a stop gesture to Huang Xu and the eagle guard who were accompanying him: "You go out according to the road you just walked into." ”

"The lord told me to protect Mr. Huang's safety and go together." Huang Xu knew that things were not in the temple, and said anxiously.

Huang Chengyan shook his head: "It's too late, this seemingly chaotic array of formations is actually a killing move to hide people's eyes and ears, in order to make people fall into this place." Huang Chengyan pointed to his feet.

Huang Xu and the others looked over, only to see that Huang Chengyan had a bamboo stick or something like that under his feet being stepped on, Huang Chengyan said: "There are at least thousands of arrows hidden here, and the arrows that trigger the mechanism will shoot out from the ground and shoot out in all directions." It's hard to prevent. ”

"Is there a way out?"

Huang Chengyan thought for a moment and sighed: "Hey...... It's not impossible, it's just that it's more dangerous, so it's better for you to go out first. lest I fail and trigger the trap, and you will not be able to escape the arrow net. ”

"Then how can I do it, the lord ordered me to protect Mr. Huang, how can I abandon you. Is it that when the foot leaves, it will be removed? Huang Xu asked.

"Exactly!" Huang Cheng was still observing the terrain around him and the interlocking mechanisms.

Unexpectedly, Huang Xu said: "Then I have a way to save Mr. out." ”

Huang Chengyan looked at Huang Xu suspiciously, and his eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, as if he felt incredulous about it.

Huang Xu turned to the eagle guard behind him and said, "You bring that stone." As he spoke, he pointed to the stone not far from the eagle guard.

The Eagle Guard was very careful, he didn't dare to move half a minute on his feet, and turned around to measure the distance, but fortunately his hand was just enough to reach the stone, but it was a little difficult to pick it up.

Huang Chengyan was shocked when he saw this scene: "Don't move! ”

It's a pity that after all, he was a step too late, and he only heard the eagle guard scream, and he was pierced by the bamboo tube shot from the ground.

Huang Chengyan closed his eyes slightly, as if he was sad that he couldn't save a name. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, "Don't touch anything here, a piece of grass could also trigger the mechanism." ”

Huang Xu looked at the corpse that was shot through the body by the bamboo tube and hung in the air, and shouted: "Brother, I hurt you!" There was infinite sadness in his tone. If it weren't for the fact that there were many organs here, Huang Xu might have rushed over a long time ago. It's a pity that he can only look at the eagle guard and die, but can't save him.

After many years of fighting with cockroaches, Huang Xu had such a feeling for the first time, this feeling of being in a desperate situation. He almost lost his mind and burst away. If he hadn't followed Zhang Lang to fight in the south and north over the years, I am afraid that he would have been impulsive with his enthusiasm.
