Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin set off together, and took Tao Jing, Shen Fu, Hao Ning, and Chu Xiao to Pingxian County quickly, lest they be chased by Pei Ji.

When they arrived at the city gate of Pingxian County, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city and asked them the purpose of their trip.

Guan Xuehu stepped forward: "I'll make a special trip here to see Danyang Wang Ningze!"

When the soldiers defending the city heard this, they responded: "After the king of Danyang subdued the demon, he went to Jin County again. ”

Bai Chaoxin hurriedly asked, "When did you leave?"

replied: "Just left this morning." ”

"Chase!" Guan Xuehu heard that he had just left in the morning, and thought that he was not much behind, and he would definitely be able to catch up, so he led the team to hurry up and rush towards Jinxian.

On the other side, Pei Ji chased Guan Xuehu to Jizhao County in the back, and a team appeared from the rear and rushed to the city gate to meet him, it turned out that Ding Bi, the Taishou of Minjiang County, heard that the national division was coming with troops, and specially ordered the captain to guard the city, and the troops rushed to meet him.

When the two armies met, they learned that the national teacher was still behind, so they greeted Pei Ji first.

When the two entered the city, they found that Guan Xuehu had run away, and they also took Bai Chaoxin and a few other people away, and there were only a few soldiers left in the city, as well as the captured county commander and others.

Quickly release the people, ask the whole thing face to face, and after understanding, leave a few soldiers and horses to guard this place, and immediately pursue in the direction of Pingxian.

When they arrived in Ping County, they heard the news at the city gate, saying that Ning Ze had gone to Jin County, and Guan Xuehu and the others did not enter the city, but also quickly rushed to Jin County.

Pei Ji immediately turned around and rushed towards Jin County.

Guan Xuehu thought that he could catch up with Ning Ze soon, and he kept chasing all the way, desperately chasing after him.

However, it was a little miscalculated, Ning Ze's team had the bonus of the First Emperor's tactics, although the time difference was half a day, and they could catch up under normal circumstances, but the distance between the two sides was getting farther and farther apart.

After they spent a day and a night chasing after Jin County, the Jin County guards told them that Ning Ze had already set off for Huahe County.

Why is it so fast? Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin's faces were full of surprise, and they had no choice but to continue on their way.

Fortunately, when they arrived in Huahe County, the soldiers guarding the city did not say that Ning Ze left, but told them that a grand demon subjugation ceremony was being held in the city, and the door could not be opened to let the army enter at this critical moment, for fear that it would affect the ceremony, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Asked Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin's team to stay outside the city for the time being, wait for the demon subjugation ceremony to be completed, and then ask the county order to see if the door can be opened.

Guan Xuehu is in a hurry? Asking for a favor? It's a big deal to leave the army outside the city, so a few of them entered the city to find Ning Ze.

The main thing is that the Pei Ji army will be killed at any time in the back? I panicked!

The soldiers defending the city got a death order? Almost all the officials and generals in the demon subjugation ceremony county are over there, and there are not enough chiefs around them? Don't dare to let the Xuehu come in.

In the end, it was Bai Chaoxin who persuaded Guan Xuehu and pulled him back to the team? Temporary camp.

Ning Ze's demon subjugation ceremony took a long time from preparation to end? Including the people dispersed for at least half a day, Guan Xuehu's team waited outside the city until the sun went down, waiting for a very bad news.

Scouts report that Pei Ji's army is suspected to be moving towards Huahe County? A stone's throw away.

Faced with this situation that couldn't be worse? Guan Xuehu hurriedly discussed with Bai Chaoxin: "Ning Ze hasn't come out yet, Pei Ji has already caught up, what is good?"

Bai Chaoxin thought for a while: "Why don't we forcibly break through the city gate?"

"No!" Guan Xuehu hurriedly denied this plan, "At that time, it may not be the city gate, but it will be blocked by Pei Ji's army?" Outflanking before and after. Besides, what we did before can't be explained? If you really want to storm Huahe County, it will be even more troublesome!"

Is there really no better way to do it? You can only arrange troops and make a defensive posture.

Soon after, Pei Ji's army really caught up? See Guan Xuehu lining up outside the city? Directly lead the troops into battle? Not even a chance to defend himself.

Guan Xuehu was very depressed, he saw that Pei Ji and Ding Bi were there, and he originally wanted to defend himself in front of the battle and try to persuade the other party. As a result, the opposite side came directly to kill, and there was no chance at all.

He didn't dare to fight against Pei Ji, so he could only retreat to the rear of the military formation, command the battle from a relatively safe distance, and rely on the military formation to intercept it.

The problem is that Pei Ji is too brave, and the number of troops is several times that of Guan Xuehu, and the difference in strength between the two sides is too obvious.

Seeing that he couldn't resist, Guan Xuehu kept retreating, and soon came to the vicinity of the gate of Huahe County, and there was no way to retreat.

Pei Ji pressed forward step by step, ready to annihilate it in one go.

Guan Xuehu, who fell into a desperate situation, felt that this time was completely finished.

At this time, Pei Ji got the news that an army of thousands of people was slowly approaching on the flank, and it was possible to attack.

The thousands of people were musketeers, and they came in formation.

The musketeers were Ning Ze's team, and Pei Ji knew quite well, so he switched from attack to defense for the sake of safety, and moved slightly.

The pressure on Guan Xuehu's side suddenly decreased, although it was not clear why Pei Ji's army suddenly retreated, at least it would not be wiped out instantly.

The situation outside the city, the soldiers defending the city have been reported.

The demon subjugation ceremony had just ended, and the county commander was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately took other officials and rushed to the city gate with Ning Ze.

went up to the city wall, and sure enough, I saw the confrontation between the two armies outside the city, and the Ning Ze army stationed in the distance was also vigilant.

The momentum is too dignified, which makes the county order a little unbearable.

A group of people appeared above the city gate, Guan Xuehu naturally noticed it, and found that Ning Ze was also among them, so he hurriedly ran to the city and asked to open the city gate and let them in.

Where is the county order willing to be placed, and what is the situation outside has not been figured out yet!

Therefore, Guan Xuehu was asked to explain the situation.

Guan Xuehu explained the general situation, mainly to let the city understand that the rear was Pei Ji's army, as well as Ding Bi's troops, he was misunderstood and had no way to advance or retreat. At the same time, he asked Ning Ze to take responsibility for this matter, and came out to make it clear to Pei Ji, and he couldn't let them carry this kind of unclear burden.

The county order was confused, he didn't know what was happening in other counties, he only knew that Ning Ze came here to catch demons, how could he be involved in such a troublesome matter?

Since this matter was related to Ning Ze, he said to Ning Ze: "Lord Wang, the foreign ministers really don't know what is happening outside the city. If you know, why don't you go over and deal with it?"

Ning Ze responded when he heard this: "Lone is just going here to catch a demon, and I don't know why." However, he has some connections with that Pei Ji, and he didn't have time to say hello to Ding Taishou before, since they are all here, let's go out of the city to see each other. ”

The county commander immediately opened the city gate and accompanied Ning Ze to the outside of the city with his officials.

Guan Xuehu saw the city gate open, Ning Ze and others appeared, and hurriedly brought Bai Chaoxin and Tao Jing over to meet them.

"General Guan, General Bai, don't come to harm!" Ning Ze rode on his horse and took the initiative to greet him.

"Lord Wang, you can make us miserable!" Guan Xuehu had a grudge on his face.

"Oh, how do you say that?" Ning Ze asked curiously, with a confused look.

"You have played us all over the place, let us fall to such a point, what do you want to do?Did we offend you, or did we provoke you?" Guan Xuehu held his breath, but he had to suppress it in front of Ning Ze, after all, except for him, no one can help him now.

Seeing the county magistrate of Huahe County and other county officials looking at him, Ning Ze spread his hands and said, "What does General Guan mean by this, I really don't understand! What happened to the two of you?"

Guan Xuehuxin said that you know very well, and you are still pretending to be stupid here, which is too much!

Just as he was about to pull Tao Jing and the others to the front to confront him, and explain it clearly to Ning Ze face to face, Pei Ji and Ding Bi on the other side found that the gate of the county town was opened, and Ning Ze appeared, and immediately came on horseback.

Guan Xuehu was obviously very afraid of Pei Ji and Ding Bi, and was so nervous when he found them coming over that he instantly forgot what he was going to do just now, and was completely on guard.

Pei Ji glanced at them and quickly turned his gaze to Ning Ze. In his opinion, Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin are small people, since Ning Ze is here, of course he is talking to the main master, so he came to Ning Ze to look at each other vigilantly.

"General Pei, long time no see!" Ning Ze took the initiative to greet with a smile on his face.

"Does King Danyang want to make a mess of Minjiang County?" Pei Ji returned the salute with a fist on his face.

"What do you mean by this?" Ning Ze showed a puzzled look, and then clasped his fists at Ding Bi, "Ding Taishou, don't come to harm?"

"Meet the prince!" Ding Bi politely replied.

"The prince knows it," Pei Ji said, "Under the pretext of subduing demons, it is not appropriate to secretly let them capture Changqing and Jizhao counties, imprison county orders and officials, and plunder county soldiers, right?"

"There is a big misunderstanding here!" Hearing this, Guan Xuehu hurriedly stepped forward.

"What's wrong with this?" Ning Ze blinked, pointed at Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin and said, "General Pei, Lone is just here to subdue demons, what do you have to do with Lone's own internal affairs?"

"What do you mean, Lord Wang?" Pei Ji frowned.

"What does Gu want to ask the general?" Ning Ze said, "General Guan and General Bai are your Nancheng generals, but they just happened to meet Gu, what they do is their business, why bother to talk about Gu? You should ask them yourself, this is your Nancheng's internal disagreement, and it has nothing to do with Gu!"

"What do you mean it doesn't matter?!" Guan Xuehu suddenly became anxious when he heard this, "Lord Wang, you are not kind!"

"Lonely's good heart subdues demons, why aren't you kind?"

"A few of you come here!" Guan Xuehu was in a hurry, and pulled Tao Jing and the four of them to the front, "Lord Wang, don't tell me you don't know them!"

"Acquaintance, from Jizhao County!" Ning Ze blinked, "How did you guys get here?"

"Lord Wang, we were forcibly dragged here. Tao replied.

"What do you mean by forcibly pulling it?" Guan Xuehu said hurriedly, "Obviously, you agreed to come here and confront the prince in front of the prince!"

"We don't know anything," Hao Ning shook his head, "At that time, General Bai had a conflict with the county honor, and then General Guan suddenly appeared, defeated the county honorable and captured them, and then forced us to accompany us all the way to this side." ”

"Nonsense!" Guan Xuehu was anxious, "Obviously, you obeyed Ning Ze's orders and deliberately designed Bai Chaoxin! Changqing County also designed Ning Ze's ......"

"Lone is not familiar with these people!" Ning Ze looked at Tao Jing, "Right?"

"I'm just lucky enough to meet the prince a few times!" Tao replied immediately.
