Chapter 544: Chess Pieces
Ning Ze just ate that Pei Ji didn't dare to fall out now, and deliberately teased him.
After sorting out the situation, everyone on the scene could guess that the sudden disappearance of Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin, as well as these weird and strange giant pits, were inseparable from Ning Ze.
If Pei Ji had his previous temperament, he would have been unable to hold back and fight with Ning Ze for a long time, but now he is trying to endure it and focus on the overall situation.
Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin ran away, and it stands to reason that troops should be sent to chase them down and arrest them as soon as possible.
It's just that Ning Ze left for Pudong County, and Pei Ji couldn't sit idly by. In the final analysis, those two are small people, and they are not comparable to Ning Ze.
The damage caused by those two people is controllable, and Ning Ze may not be able to say it, who knows what he can do.
The two sides are weighed, or throw away the small fish and bite the big fish.
Pei Ji and Ding Bi led the army to catch up with Ning Ze and rushed towards Pudong County.
Arrived smoothly at about 10 o'clock in the morning, the county commander of Pudong County personally led people to greet him, and then arranged for his subordinates to build a high platform to prepare for the demon subjugation.
Pei Ji and Ding Bi followed Ning Ze throughout the whole process, not daring to let him leave his field of vision, lest the other party make something wrong.
You must keep an eye on him until the national division arrives.
The only expectation at the moment is that the national teacher is swallowing his anger now, in order to drag Ning Ze and wait for the national teacher to come over and then see the situation and act.
If the national teacher has the ability to take Ning Ze, he can capture him or kill him on the spot on the grounds of fighting, and "accidents" are inevitable in the fighting. Ning Ze is the pillar of Huaguo, once the fall of Huaguo is over, then Nancheng will have a chance to turn the situation around.
Even if the national teacher can't take Ning Ze, he can try to invite him out of Minjiang County, so as not to let the other party stay in Nancheng's territory and run around, sneaking around and not knowing what small actions to do.
Ning Ze ran around in the counties of Minjiang County, it would not be as simple as subduing demons, and even Pei Ji felt that there were not so many demons and monsters in Minjiang County for him to catch, and holding ceremonies in such a county was simply his disguise, but he couldn't find evidence.
Ordinary people can't see the so-called demonic energy at all? Ning Ze said yes? It is difficult for the average person to refute.
Not to mention that Pei Ji is keeping an eye on Ning Ze here, lest the other party have another incident. After Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin escaped? Turning back along the way with your men? Try to avoid the main road, so as not to encounter Nancheng soldiers and horses.
Day and night? trekked through mountains and rivers, and finally returned to the vicinity of Minjiang County.
They didn't intend to disturb the Minjiang defenders? Want to sneak around from the side? Quietly go to the border.
Who knew that as soon as the team came, Cao Yun, the commander of Minjiang, got the news of the scouts and hurriedly led his troops out of the city.
It turned out that before Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin's team appeared, they were entrusted with important tasks by Ding Bi? Cao Yun, who led troops to guard Minjiang County, received a secret letter.
Informed in the letter? Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin rebelled, and were defeated and captured by Pei Ji's army. Unexpectedly, Pei Ji was negligent for a while, and the two of them fled overnight, leading the thieves to flee all the way to Minjiang County. Now Pei Ji and Ding Bi need to guard Ning Ze and monitor them at all times? He ordered Cao Yun to wait for the opportunity to wait, if Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin approached Minjiang County? Intending to attack the city, immediately send troops to take it.
MeSign didn't make a payment? However, listening to the tone, it is either Pei Ji or Ding Bi, both of whom are Cao Yun's bosses.
That's what he thinks? But in fact, this secret letter is not from Pei Ji? It has nothing to do with Ding Bi.
Of course, Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin have no plans to attack Minjiang County? I even wanted to quietly pass from the small road without disturbing Minjiang County. Who would have thought that there would be such a secret letter, and how could they have thought that when Cao Yun appeared, he was obviously far away from the county seat, and he directly led his troops to kill.
In order to take down Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin, Cao Yun took all the main forces out of the city, leaving only a few soldiers to guard the city.
When Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin passed by Langyuan Road, Cao Yun's soldiers and horses suddenly came out and blocked the way in formation.
Cao Yun's sudden appearance made Guan and Bai quite stunned.
"Traitor, quickly dismount and surrender!" Cao Yun raised his big knife and shouted sharply.
Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin were a little nervous, this was the last thing they wanted to see, the two of them didn't want to get entangled with the defenders of Minjiang County, they just wanted to avoid each other and go to Zeshan through the border as soon as possible.
It's just that Cao Yun blocked the way and looked murderous. The opponent has significantly more troops than his own side, and he is not his opponent in a fight.
The two looked at each other and said that the situation was not good.
"Cao Duwei!" Bai Chaoxin had met Cao Yun a few times, so he stepped forward, "The two of us did not betray Nan Cheng......"
"Don't be a fancy talk!" Cao Yun reprimanded sharply, "Don't think that no one knows what you two have done! Either get off your horse and surrender today, and obediently follow me back to the city, waiting for the government to punish you." Either die by the knife!"
Seeing that it didn't make sense, Bai Chaoxin looked at Guan Xuehu.
Guan Xuehu gritted his teeth and stepped forward with his gun: "Captain Cao, I don't want to be your enemy! If you get out of the way, we will go around the city and never disturb." If you don't, you can only offend!"
"Treasonous thief, don't talk nonsense!" Cao Yun stepped forward and went straight to the two.
Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin saw that they had no choice, so they could only fight with guns at the same time, one left and one right around Cao Yundi, and the three of them were fighting with knives and guns, and the fight was difficult to solve.
Cao Yun's force was obviously much higher than that of Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin, and the two were suppressed by the other party when they joined forces, and they were soon at a disadvantage.
couldn't beat it, Guan Xuehu shouted at Bai Chaoxin: "Unbeatable!"
The two of them withdrew at the same time and quickly fled to their own military formation.
Seeing them fleeing, Cao Yun directly ordered: "The whole army charges, don't let the thieves escape!"
The army slew the past.
Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin returned to the army, turned around and commanded the soldiers to meet the battle, and the two teams fought in close combat, which was extremely fierce.
In the end, Cao Yun had stronger forces and more soldiers, and the disadvantage was quickly occupied by him.
Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin were in a predicament, unable to break through, and had no way to turn around and evacuate, and fell into a dilemma.
At the critical moment, the county town of Minjiang suddenly burst into cannons.
Cao Yun was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart, what's going on over there in the county town?
Soon I saw wolf smoke filling the air, obviously calling for help.
It is very important to arrest Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin, but there is no room for negligence on the county side.
Quickly ordered a U-turn, and the whole army withdrew in the direction of the county seat.
Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin didn't know what was going on over there, Cao Yun led the troops to withdraw, and the pressure suddenly decreased.
It stands to reason that at this time, chasing Cao Yun from behind would definitely win a big victory, but the two chose to go around the city from the other side and flee in the direction of the border.
Halfway through the escape, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming after him, and he was frightened and immediately turned around and lined up to meet him.
It turned out that Cao Yun, who had been majestic before, was extremely embarrassed when he reappeared, and he was fleeing in a hurry here.
Seeing Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin lined up along the road, he hurriedly pulled the reins and stopped.
Both sides were vigilant, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
It was only a while, there were only a few dozen people left around Cao Yun, and the soldiers under his command did not know where to go, and there were hundreds of black-clothed and masked murderous cavalrymen behind them, and after they arrived, they surrounded Cao Yun in the middle.
What is the situation? Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin looked at Cao Yun, and then at the people in black, but they couldn't figure out the situation.
The road ahead was blocked, and the black-clothed masked cavalry caught up behind, Cao Yun gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head and shouted, rushing towards those black-clothed people to fight hard.
As a result, the man in black took out the crossbow arrow on the horse, pulled the trigger on the oncoming Cao Yun, and the dense arrows instantly shot him and his cronies into hedgehogs.
Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin were very frightened when they saw this scene, and they were completely wary of these black-clothed people.
Unexpectedly, the man in black ignored it, just dismounted and cut Cao Yun's head, and turned directly to the rear.
Soon, the army behind caught up, and it turned out to be Cao Yun's soldiers and horses.
As soon as this army of soldiers and horses caught up and was about to surround the man in black, he saw one of them raise Cao Yun's head and shout: "Cao Yun is dead, Minjiang County has fallen into the hands of my lord, and those who descend will not be killed!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed!" Obviously the number of people in black was less than the other party, and these men in black were extremely imposing, which made the pursuers in the rear tremble.
I don't know who laid down their arms first, and the others did the same and surrendered one after another.
It didn't take long for thousands of men and horses to give up their resistance, and hundreds of men in black were taken down.
This situation made Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin stunned, and said in their hearts that it was too nonsense!
There are so many of you, you can bury these black-clothed people with a random stone, why did you surrender?
Even if Cao Yun is killed, he won't admit it so quickly, right?
After the man in black was surrendered, he took these surrendered troops to the direction of Minjiang County, and one of them turned around and came to Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin: "Two generals, please follow me until Minjiang County presides over the overall situation!"
"What?!" Guan Xuehu and Bai Chaoxin were already very confused when they heard this, but now they are even more confused.
"Please!" the man in black made a gesture of invitation, motioning for the two to follow.
The two looked at each other and reacted for a while.
"Could it be that they are all from Ning Ze?" Guan Xuehu's expression was strange, "But his people are all around, where did these come from?"
"Asking us to go to Minjiang County to preside over the overall situation, did we dig a pit again?" Bai Chaoxin was very worried.
"What are we going to do?
"If it's Ning Ze's arrangement, we can't leave, right? Even if we ignore it and run to the territory of Huaguo, he will be held accountable when the time comes, what should we do?
"yes! We don't seem to have a choice. There seems to be no choice but to be honest and obedient and seek asylum in China. Ning Zefei made so much effort to rescue us, it must be useful, otherwise why spend this effort?"
"Then are we going to Minjiang County?"
It seems that his men have occupied the city, and Cao Yun's men have surrendered, so there should be no problem. ”
"Could it be that Ning Ze has already laid out in Minjiang County, and it is impossible for him to sneak in so many people without being discovered, right?"
"You can only go there in person, and you can only find out about the situation when you go to the city. ”
"What I'm more worried about now is that if Ning Ze is not the opponent of the national teacher, what will the two of us do at that time?"
"I can only act at the opportunity, depending on the situation! I can see clearly, the two of us are purely chess pieces, except for being at the mercy, there is no way at all!"
