Thinking of this, Li Xianzhong couldn't help but want to laugh proudly, so he beat the horse fast.

Just as he was indulging in his pride, a sudden break pulled him back to reality.

"Stop, who's who?"

Li Xianzhong looked up. It turned out that he had already arrived at the city of Taizhou. When the guards on the tower saw their group of a dozen people, they were rushing towards the city gate on horseback, but they did not recklessly immediately release their arrows. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Li Xianzhong has become a hedgehog now!

As soon as he thought of this, Li Xianzhong felt that cold sweat broke out on his back, and he began to regret his recklessness. At the same time, Li Xianzhong also secretly warned himself that he should be extremely careful from now on; Otherwise, a small mistake in the details can lead to the failure of his entire plan, and he will eventually die without a complete body.

"I am Li Xianzhong of the Li clan in Liaodong. Li Rubai, the former commander-in-chief of Liaodong, is my father. The brother in the city gave me a message to Liu Shoubei, and said that I, Li Xianzhong, came from the south late at night and lost my way for a while, hoping to let us go into the city and rest for a while. ”

The guard didn't know who Li Rubai was, but he still knew the name of the Li family in Liaodong. The Li family is so famous in Daming that they may not know who the cabinet chief assistant of the current dynasty is, but if they want to say that they don't know the Li family in Liaodong, they will definitely be laughed at.

Hearing that this person in the city is the Li clan in Liaodong, he didn't dare to slack off. He had also heard early on that his current garrison general was also from the Li family in Liaodong. Then this Li Xianzhong is like the garrison general's mother's family.

The general's mother's family came, so naturally they had to receive it well.

It didn't take long to see Liu Changle come to the city.

"But is it the eldest son of the chief soldier?" Liu Changle shouted at the head of the city.

"It's my Uncle Liu." Li Xianzhong heard Liu Changle's voice and immediately spoke.

"But now that the Shandong army is in turmoil, there have been a lot of anti-thieves from the Smelling Fragrance Sect in Taizhou City recently. It's the middle of the night, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to open the city gate! It's better to endure the night under the city first. After tonight, I will open the gates for you. "Liu Changle is also an old and serious person.

Li Xianzhong became anxious when he heard this. "Uncle Liu, then you will kill me. It is precisely because we keep encountering the pursuit of the anti-thieves of the Smelling Fragrance Sect on the road that we have to ask you for help! If even you don't accept it, I'm afraid that we won't have to wait until dawn, and we will be killed by those thieves of the Smelling Fragrance Sect. ”

Liu Changle was a little skeptical. "You said you were hunted down by the people of the Smelling Fragrance Sect?"

"It's true!" Li Xianzhong said with a serious face.

"Do you know how many of them there are?" Liu Changle is very careful.

"About one or two hundred! If it weren't for the speed of our horses, we would have been their captives by now. ”

Liu Changle was silent.

At this moment, a group of people shouted and ran out from the northeast corner. There were about a hundred of them, all infantry. These people all had red scarves wrapped around their heads, and at a glance they knew that they were all incense-smelling cultists.

Seeing this, Li Xianzhong took more than a dozen of his cavalry to turn around and charge and kill. These incense-smelling disciples were killed by Li Xianzhong for a while, and then dispersed, but they did not constitute much lethality.

After killing the enemy, Li Xianzhong returned to the edge of the city and said to Liu Changle at the head of the city, "Uncle Liu, you also saw it." These thieves can now be said to be everywhere. Although we have killed this group, we are afraid that it will not be long before a new group will come. The thieves are like locusts, they can't be killed no matter how they are. When I went north from Nanjing, there were more than 30 people with me, but when I arrived here, only these 10 or so remained.

If we stay one more night outside of town, I'm afraid we'll not make it. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xianzhong pretended to be sad and said, "If I die, please Uncle Liu will take the past friendship with my father and send my bones back to Liaodong to be buried with my father." ”

Liu Changle at the head of the city did not speak.

When Li Xianzhong said this, he quietly peeked at Liu Changle, but because they were too far away from each other, he couldn't see Liu Changle's expression at all. Li Xianzhong scolded secretly in his heart, thinking that his tricks had almost been exhausted, but this old guy still didn't take the bait, and Li Xianzhong's heart couldn't help but be secretly anxious.

At this moment, the shouts of a group of people sounded behind him. Listen to the voice, this time the enemy numbered no less than five hundred.

Li Xianzhong gritted his teeth, turned the horse's head, and was about to make another charge. I saw that the city gate behind him suddenly opened, and a cavalry of about 100 people poured out from inside, and the leader was Liu Changle. Without waiting for Li Xianzhong to turn around and fight again, these people had already fought with the people of the Wenxiang Sect first.

The hundred people brought out by Liu Changle are still his elite guards, and these rabble of the Smelling Fragrance Sect are naturally not opponents. In a few clicks, these incense smellers were scattered and fled.

Liu Changle came to Li Xianzhong's side at this time.

"Li Xian's nephew is not strange. It's not that the old man didn't save him when he saw death, I was really forced by the situation, and I had to do it! The old man came from a slightly cold background, and when the old man was under Ling Zun's account, he had a lot of Ling Zun's support. If there was no Ling Zun, there would be no me Liu Changle today. This kindness, I, Liu Changle, have never forgotten one day. ”

After speaking, Liu Changle rode his horse and Li Xianzhong into the city side by side.

Liu Changle arranged Li Xianzhong in his general's mansion.

"Nephew Li Xian, you have come all the way north, and you must have experienced a lot of hardships here. Everyone is tired too. I won't bother you. Have a good night's rest! After speaking, Liu Changle sighed softly.

"Looking at this situation, I'm afraid that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you won't have such a chance, and you can sleep peacefully again!"

When Li Xianzhong heard this, he pretended to be concerned and asked, "What's the matter, but what is the difficulty of Uncle Liu?" If you need a little nephew to serve, just say it bluntly. ”

Liu Changle shook his head, "It's nothing." It's just that when I look at this situation, I'm afraid that the thieves will soon besiege Taizhou. When the time comes, it will be difficult to sleep peacefully if you want to sleep peacefully.

However, the virtuous nephew can rest assured. There are four or five thousand men and horses defending the city in Taizhou City, and I believe that even if Xu Hongru comes to attack it in person, he may not be able to attack it. You sleep in peace, your sleep is well. ”

After speaking, Liu Changle turned around and left.

Li Xianzhong returned to his room, but he couldn't sleep. He's waiting. Waiting for an opportunity. However, he believes that opportunity will come soon. Because this is what he made with Huang Yudie before he came. This opportunity was artificially created by them.

About the third watch, I suddenly heard someone outside shouting, "Oh no! The enemy is attacking the city! Then came the shouting of men and the neighing of horses.

Li Xianzhong sat up from the bed at once. Reaching out, he took the sword on the table in his hand and ran out of the room.

The ten men who came with them also held waist knives one by one, and stood in a neat row in the courtyard. Li Xianzhong glanced at Liu Changle's courtyard, which was only separated by a wall from him, and a sneer appeared in his eyes.

"Let's go!" Li Xianzhong issued a brief order, and stepped out of the small courtyard first.

Liu Changle hurriedly put on his armor and came to the city, and sure enough, he saw a large number of incense-smelling disciples gathering outside the city.

Due to the hazy moonlight, Liu Changle didn't know how many enemies there were under the city, but judging from their torches, Liu Changle estimated that the number should be no less than 10,000.

Liu Changle was not nervous, there were four or five thousand people in his city, and the enemy who was attacking the city was only 10,000 people, and he didn't have any heavy weapons to attack the city, so he naturally wouldn't take them seriously.

"Don't panic, it's just a rabble. Remember to me, if the enemy attacks the city for a while, use bows and arrows for those who are far away, and oil and stones for those near. Try to get as close as possible to the enemy before fighting, and don't waste our arrows. ”

The guards agreed, Liu Changdong nodded, and went down to the city and was about to go to several other cities to have a look, when he met Li Xianzhong.

"Why are you here?" Liu Changle was a little surprised.

"Let's ...... Take your head! Li Xianzhong saw that Huang Yudie's army had arrived, and knew that it was time to make a move.

Before he finished speaking, Li Xianzhong's sword had already slashed towards Liu Changle's neck.
