"Withdraw!"

Just when one of Ding Li's legs was about to step into the painting boat of Haichen Pavilion, Zhang Wu, who was fighting side by side beside him, suddenly swung a knife forward, grabbed Ding Li by the way, shook his head back at Ding Li with a firm gaze, and stopped drinking in a deep voice.

"Huh?" Ding Li didn't react at once, but he was still dragged back two steps by Zhang Wu, who had already retreated, and then no matter what happened, he threw the machete in his hand at the enemy in front of him, turned around and fled backwards with Zhang Wu's footsteps.

It wasn't until he retreated from the plank road that Ding Li understood a little, about the retreat, it was obviously Zhang Wu and Lu Dachi who had made an appointment in advance, or it should have been Zhang Mingzhi's order, the scale of hundreds of people, in an extremely orderly manner like a low tide, quickly withdrew, and the brothers in the rear had already taken away their own casualties.

"Fifth master, what are they?" Ding Li was not the most shocked by the sudden change in front of him, the old wolf who was guarding Hua Lao Wu's side, with a puzzled glint in his eyes, asked in a low voice.

"I don't understand." Hua Lao Wu didn't know what was going on at all, just now it was obvious that his side had shown defeat, and even Hua Lao Wu had despair in his heart, the two main persons in charge of the Cao family in Fuxu Town, who relied on him as a backer, were gone, and he originally thought that he could still rely on Cao Qi behind him for a while, plus his own family background, at least he could carry it to the Cao Chamber of Commerce in Guangzhou Prefecture to send reinforcements, when he thought of this, Hua Lao Wu still snorted coldly, and his dissatisfied eyes then glanced at Cao Qi who was hiding behind his subordinates.

In the blink of an eye, the people who attacked Haichen Pavilion just now retreated and completely disappeared into the night, and in a dark alley not far away, Ding Li asked Zhang Wu with a puzzled expression: "Brother Wu, isn't it going to wipe out the forces of Hua Lao Wu tonight?" Why did you suddenly retreat? ”

"Second brother's plan for a temporary change! You haven't been in the house all day, of course I don't know! Zhang Wu shook his head, glanced at Ding Li, and was still a little dissatisfied with Ding Li's farewell, and then remembered his guess, couldn't help but sigh lightly, and explained to Ding Li in a low voice: "Hua Lao Wu must die today, but if we attack, the casualties of the brothers below will inevitably be too great!" Today, Brother Yang came from Guangzhou Mansion on a business trip, and in the afternoon, the second brother asked Brother Yang for help, specifically, you will know later! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Wudi poked his head out of the alley to take a look, and without looking back, he stretched out his hand to beckon Ding Li and Lu Dachi behind him to remind: "Look, it's coming!" Hua Lao Wu is waiting for the end! ”

Following Zhang Wu's call, Ding Li and Lu Dachi also went to the corner of the alley and stretched out their heads to find out, this look stunned both of them, especially Lu Dachi, who gasped and looked at Zhang Wu with shocked eyes, he also received a temporary notice to change the plan in the evening, and he didn't know the specific plan, even Brother Yang in Zhang Wu's mouth just now, he didn't know where it was.

Ding Li's mood calmed down a little, but what he saw in his eyes still shocked Ding Li, and in addition to being shocked, he also deeply admired Zhang Mingzhi's methods.

There were an army of three hundred men, a regular army in full armor and bright armor, with about 100 cavalry in the front row clearing the way, followed by a glittering foot guard, except for the thick muffled sound of the horses' hooves stepping on the bluestone ground in the street, the metal sound of the armor rubbing against the armor of the group of soldiers behind them as they brushed and ran.

Leading the team is Yang Hongwen, the general of the Guangzhou Prefecture Jiedu Mansion, closely following Yang Hongwen around, is dozens of Jiedu Mansion tooth soldiers, just from the equipment point of view, it is a grade higher than the group of foot soldiers behind him, wearing the Tang Dynasty Imperial Court forbidden army standard equipment, Mingguang armor, the side of the war horse is more crossbow and sword, each person has a straight riding spear in his hand, and even on the side of the quiver of the saddle on one side, there is also a spare riding spear upside down.

The cavalry team led by Yang Hongwen took the lead in rushing to the shore of Haichen Pavilion, and dozens of cavalry horizontal guns immediately quickly formed a semi-encirclement, from the bow to the stern of Haichen Pavilion, surrounded by the whole body, except for the sound of the foot soldiers who followed closely behind, there was only the sound of war horses from time to time, and they seemed to be very dissatisfied with the smell of blood around them, and they warned each other about the danger of the same kind.

Hua Lao Wu's movements are actually not slow, the scene of the fight just now has been simply handled, but the blood stains on the ground are still eye-catching, especially the smell of blood in the air, after mixing with the smell of the sea, even if the sea breeze continues to blow, it still has not been completely blown away, and even the pungent smell is even more bloody, which makes people can't help but have the urge to gause.

Hua Lao Wu, including Cao Qi and the others behind him, were all stunned, and now they completely understood why Ding Li and the others just now suddenly gave up the attack and retreated in a hurry, it turned out to be a plan made early in the morning. In this regard, Hua Lao Wu gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do about it, Ding Li and the others could retreat at any time, he couldn't retreat, after all, this Haichen Pavilion was his last reliance, even if he knew that there would be such an ending in front of him, Hua Lao Wu would not necessarily retreat in advance, after all, if this Haichen Pavilion was burned again, he would not be able to regain his spirit and come again.

With the arrival of a large number of foot soldiers, a cavalry general rode a horse to Yang Hongwen's side, this person Ding Li also knew, it was Fan Ying who had met in the city yesterday, only to see Fan Ying first salute Yang Hongwen with a fist, and then turned the horse's head, and shouted at the soldiers under his command behind him: "Fence up!" No suspicious person will be allowed to go! Those who dare to resist will be killed! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone on the painting boat couldn't keep their composure, if this painting boat was a cauldron, then Yang Hongwen led people to arrive to add oil and fire to this cauldron, and Fan Ying's order was like pouring a bowl of ice water after this cauldron full of red oil, and with a 'boom', it exploded!

"This, this..." Hua Lao Wu knew that he couldn't dodge anymore, so he stepped forward quickly from the protection of everyone, his eyes were full of unwillingness but he had to make a respectful gesture, first bowed to Yang Hongwen, and then bowed to the many soldiers in front of him one by one, tried to restrain his tone without any fluctuations, and asked calmly: "This general, all the soldiers, no, I don't know if you are here, yes, what. ”

In the end, Hua Lao Wu didn't know how to continue, Yang Hongwen in front of him was obviously here to deal with himself, did he still have to open his mouth and ask if the other party was here to drink and have fun? Even if the other party has a high status, how can he bring hundreds of heavily armed soldiers to this painting boat to eat, drink and have fun?

"You are what the people call the fifth master?" Yang Hongwen snorted coldly in his nose, Yang Hongwen has always been very unaccustomed to the struggle between local gangs, and this time he heard that his good brother Zhang Mingzhi was attacked again and again, although Hua Lao Wu in front of him did not participate, but Yang Hongwen had already put the other party and the Cao family into a circle, not to mention, Hua Lao Wu was indeed bought by the Cao family.

"Don't dare, don't dare! The general is really a tormenting villain! Hua Lao Wu is considered a tyrant in the local area, and even colluded with the local official forces in Fuxu Town, but most of those people are guys who can't get on the stage, such as Cao Qi behind him, but in front of Yang Hongwen, who is full of murderous faces, how dare he call himself Hua Wuye, he was immediately frightened by Yang Hongwen's question, his legs trembled, and he supported his body tremblingly, and he lowered his head as much as possible, and wiped his forehead with his arm on the sweat beads without leaving a trace, and then added in a low voice: "Small, the villain is just doing it on a painting boat, Doing serious business. ”

"Serious business? Then you Hua Wuye should talk about it, how to explain the blood in this place? Yang Hongwen hated this kind of guy who sold dog meat on the head of a sheep, and without waiting for the other party to make an excuse, he interrupted coldly, holding the horsewhip in his left hand and pointing to the ground, and the murderous intent in his eyes was fully revealed.

The beads of sweat in Hua Lao Wu's head were even denser, and he didn't know how to explain the mess in front of him, but at this moment, Cao Qi, who had always despised and despised him in his heart, suddenly walked to his side and relieved him, which immediately made Hua Lao Wu breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Who am I? It turned out to be Brother Jingyi! As a child of the Cao family, Cao Qi is still quite familiar with the children of the upper echelons of the Guangzhou Mansion, and arched his hand at Yang Hongwen with an extremely natural smile, and then stretched out his finger and pointed to the nail piece on his shoulder that was wiped off, and suddenly changed his face, and even pointed at Yang Hongwen and asked coldly: "Brother Jingyi!" I would like to ask, what do you mean by that? Is it that the blood of this land is beaten by ourselves? You appeared at this time, and instead of arresting those murderers, you came to inquire about Boss Hua? I have some doubts, did Brother Jingyi collude with the murderers just now in advance? ”

"Presumptuous!" Yang Hongwen shouted violently, the guards of the Jiedu Mansion beside him tightened the reins, the riding gun in his hand was even more flat, and the blade of the cold light flashed directly at Cao Qi, but Cao Qi was unmoved, as if he had already concluded that Yang Hongwen did not dare to do anything to himself, in the face of everyone's threat to raise the gun, he smiled faintly, and continued to speak sarcastically: "Brother Jingyi, could it be that I am right, you want to kill people and kill people, right?" You know, in Fuxu Town, this one-third of an acre, it's not your turn to be so arrogant, right? In Guangzhou Mansion, everyone may be afraid of you, but in this Fuxu Town, I still remind Brother Jingyi that our brothers in Xiying are not vegetarians! ”

"Humph! Is it? Yang Hongwen smiled suddenly, a cunning look flashed in his eyes, he slowly reached out and groped around his waist a few times, and then raised his head, and the token of the Jiedu envoy appeared in front of Cao Qi's eyes with golden light, and after shaking a few times, Yang Hongwen suddenly took the token back, glanced at Cao Qi with disdain, and suddenly broke off: "Cao Qi, the imperial captain of the Xiying Imperial Camp in Fuxu Town, openly obstructed the execution of military affairs!" For the time being, take them back to Xiying! If you commit it again, you will be dealt with by military law! ”

This can startle Cao Qi, although he didn't have the opportunity to see whether the token in Yang Hongwen's hand is real or false just now, but he knows very well in his heart that as the nephew of Li Zhen, it doesn't matter whether the token is real or not, even if it is fake, it can be used as real, and in the entire Guangzhou Mansion, few people dare to take the token from Yang Hongwen's hand to inspect, and he Cao Qi doesn't have the courage to do so.

"Captain Cao, offended!" Fan Ying, who was on the side, lost no time in shaking his head at the henchmen behind him, raised his hand and bowed his hand slightly towards Cao Qi, and the tone of his speech was yin and yang, which made Cao Qi sound very uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to act rashly, lest he be dealt with by a few vigilant soldiers who stepped forward to be dealt with by military law on the spot.
