The morning light accompanied by the birdsong woke up Wucheng, and the city was noisy again.

In the inn, Kong Bao asked with a cold face, "Haven't you found it all night?" ”

"Big... My lord, I didn't find it. If we continue to look for them today, we will definitely find the three of them. Kong Jie said.

Kong Bao scolded: "It's really a bunch of useless things, there are so many of you, you can't even find three of them, what's the use of me raising you!" Don't go out and find it! ”

Kong Tao nodded hurriedly and left the inn with a gray and gray manner.

It turned out that the two soldiers last night fled back in fright, only saying that they had not found anyone, and then stole two spare waist knives, pretending to be nothing, and covered up the matter, and they really didn't dare to return to the land temple again.

"Ahh Yi Xiaodao also woke up, walked outside the temple gate and stretched.

Xiang Lian'er and He Yue'er were woken up by Yi Xiaodao, and the two of them didn't sleep for almost a night, so they guarded Yi Xiaodao until it was almost dawn.

"It's hard work, you two helped me 'protect the Fa' all night last night." Yi Xiaodao said to the second daughter with a smile.

Xiang Lian'er rubbed her eyes: "I know that we are working hard, why don't you hurry up and beg... Go get something to eat! ”

Yi Xiaodao nodded: "You have a good rest today, I'll go out to investigate, if the wind is not tight, we will leave for the capital tomorrow." ”

Yi Xiaodao came to the market, looked around, looked at the small vendors selling steamed buns and noodles, swallowed his saliva, he only ate one steamed bun yesterday, and he has been suffering until now.

In front of a stall selling fritters, squeezed three layers inside and three layers outside, Yi Xiaodao saw this and also came over.

Yi Xiaodao took advantage of the fact that the two fritters were not paying attention, grabbed four or five fritters, quickly stuffed them into his arms and turned around, shouting as he walked: "Give money, give money." ”

"Hey, little friend, money... Have you really given it? At this time, a hand reached out from the crowd, grabbed Yi Xiaodao's wrist, and said with a smile.

Yi Xiaodao turned his head and saw that it was an old man in a green shirt with white hair and beard, he broke away from his wrist and said, "Of course it has been given, what do you mean by this?" ”

The old man touched his beard and smiled: "I don't mean anything else, it's just that it's not easy for these two people to get up early and be greedy in the dark, so they should be considerate." ”

Yi Xiaodao didn't want to dwell too much, so he turned around and wanted to leave. The old man was unwilling to give up, and stretched out again, about to hold Yi Xiaodao's arm, Yi Xiaodao was blocked several times, a little impatient, and gently pushed his chest with a palm.

"Huh?" Yi Xiaodao felt the touch of his fingertips and thought about it.

The old man was pushed by Yi Xiaodao, and there was no smile on his face, and he was about to have a seizure, when Yi Xiaodao suddenly whispered: "Twelve Tianwei? ”

When the old man heard this, he was taken aback, and before he could ask, he saw Yi Xiaodao hooking his hand and motioned for him to follow, so he had to follow him.

The two turned left and right again and returned to the Land Temple, and Yi Xiaodao took the lead in running into the temple and distributed the fritters to the second daughter.

The old man followed behind, and when he saw that Yi Xiaodao was stealing fritters for the second daughter, he only sighed to himself when the three of them were homeless brothers and sisters. At this time, he stood outside the door and asked aloud, "How does Xiaoyou know my identity?" Please tell us the truth. ”

Yi Xiaodao finished dividing the fritters, kept half of them for himself, and came out while eating: "Do you Tianwei have to be so conspicuous these days?" All have the zodiac printed on their chests, how can they not know? As soon as I pushed you, I felt the pattern on your inner lining. ”

The old man touched his chest unnaturally, and through his coat, he could really feel the lines inside, and chuckled: "Some of the rules of the imperial court really need to be changed." ”

Yi Xiaodao finished eating the fritters in two bites, and then said: "The person you sent to Wancheng to inquire about the news has been killed. ”

“！”

Such a shocking news was said so casually by Yi Xiaodao, which was no less than a blow to the old man, and he was so shocked that he stood in place. The death of Tianwei is not a big deal, accidental death or on the battlefield, there is often news of Tianwei's death, but this is in Anhui City, and it is when the four seas are peaceful, and it is a big deal that a Tianwei is killed. The emperor's Tianwei was killed, and the murderer was guilty of complicity and rebellion, and he wanted to punish the nine clans.

"Xiaoyou be cautious, there are some things that you can't say nonsense." The old man said coldly.

Yi Xiaodao ignored his eyes and slightly threatening words, and continued: "It's an uncle, and a teenager, and these are the two we saw, claiming to be Si Assassin Guard and Mao Ji Wei, who were killed on a hillside east of Anhui City. The body of Mao Jiwei was in the courtyard of a private house, and the stabbing guard was thrown off the cliff, and it is estimated that he is also dead. ”

Seeing that Yi Xiaodao said that he had a nose and eyes, the old man's eyes eased, and then asked, "Do you know who did it?" ”

"Li Taishi's goalkeeper, Kong Bao, not only killed Tianwei, but hundreds of them also killed the people on the wall of Anhui City, we escaped, so we are ready to go to Beijing to denounce them. How many of you are in this Wucheng? Maybe it will help us get back to the capital? ”

"I'm going to see the Wucheng County Commander, and let the Wucheng County Commander send someone to arrest them, do you know where they are?" The old man ignored Yi Xiaodao's problem and took the lead in coming up with the fastest way to solve the problem.

"They should have arrived in Wucheng." As he spoke, he told the story of the two soldiers who came to the Land Temple to explore the road last night and were scared away by them, of course, Yi Xiaodao hid the fact that He Yue'er would imitate various sounds. There must be some hole cards, and for them now, He Yue'er may be the last hole card.

"Without further ado, I'll go and tell the other Tianwei that you can go with me to see the Wucheng County Commander and make a personal witness. Little friend's surname? As soon as the old man grabbed Yi Xiaodao's arm, he was about to pull him along.

Yi Xiaodao shook it away with his backhand and shook his head: "Yi Xiaodao is under the knife, but we don't go to the county office, I guess the Zhang County Order of Wancheng has been poisoned by Kong Leopard, what if that Kong Leopard continues to cause chaos in Wucheng?" ”

The old man saw Yi Xiaodao's expression, and he was only frightened. I wanted to persuade that Wucheng is different from Wancheng, but I don't want to say much about the reasons. In the end, he left on his own and rushed to join the other Tianwei, so he wanted to find the Wucheng County Order and capture Kong Leopard.

The old man summoned the other two Tianwei, and the other three told Yi Xiaodao what he said, and the three decided to go to Wancheng City first, and find Wucheng County to ask for some soldiers and horses, even if they met Kong Leopard, things were really as Yi Xiaodao said, and Kong Bao could be taken down on the spot, so as not to end up with the Tianwei of Anhui City.

The three Tianwei had decided to discuss it, and immediately brought weapons to the Wucheng County Ya, but they were in a hurry, and they didn't notice that there were many defenders in Wucheng, and they searched around the city, and when they saw seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys and girls, they all stopped and asked for a clear understanding.

Wucheng County Ya.

"Beijing Tianwei, I am ordered to do things, please come out and answer the order of Wucheng County." The old man informed the county government officer of the waist card, and the government officer rushed into the county government and went to find Sun County Order.

"Lord Tianwei is coming to Wucheng, I don't know what is important? Please also talk to the Yanai. Sun Zilin trotted out all the way.

The three Tianwei saw that there were many people on the street, and it was indeed not suitable for conversation, so they followed their grandson Lin into the county office.

"Lord Sun, I am waiting here for the flood in Anhui City. The Tianwei brothers who went to Anhui City have not returned for many days, and we have received secret protection, some people have indiscriminately killed the homeless people on the road, intercepted and killed Tianwei, and there are still a lot of people, so I have borrowed some people from Sun Xian Ling, and then went to Anhui City to investigate, so as to get the news as soon as possible and return to Beijing to play to the saint. ”

"Uh... Lord Tianwei, since the Tianwei brothers who went to Anhui City have not yet returned, then these news... Where did you find out? Sun Xian Ling asked cautiously.

"Could it be that Lord Sun is unwilling to borrow troops? If the disaster in Anhui City is delayed, the Holy Lord will blame it..."A sturdy man on the side, who was also a Tianwei, thought that he was short-tempered, and couldn't help but say at this time.

Sun Zilin hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, the lower official definitely did not mean this, Lord Tianwei is in need, so the lower official will naturally cooperate." It's just that this Wucheng also needs to be garrisoned, I don't know how many soldiers and horses the adults need? ”

The old man twisted his beard lightly and said, "Not much, five hundred soldiers and horses are enough!" ”

"Poof" A steel knife stabbed into the back of the strong man Tianwei's chair, stabbing the Tianwei in half, and Tianwei immediately spat blood.

This Tianwei reacted very quickly, and he endured the pain and hit him backwards with an elbow blow, but he was held down by the person behind him, pulled out a steel knife that pierced his chest, and cut off his arm with another knife, causing Tianwei to wail.

Immediately, Tianwei was kicked from behind, and someone with a chair kicked him to the ground, and he died on the spot.

"I'm only two hundred, you want five hundred in one breath, and you really want to kill me?" The person who attacked the Tianwei behind the chair was Kong Leopard, who had been eavesdropping behind the screen just now. Hearing that Tianwei was going to borrow 500 soldiers, he was afraid that Sun County's order would turn against the water, so he attacked on the spot.

The position of the strong man happened to be at the end, and the people who practiced martial arts of Kong Leopard crept out, and their minds were all on the conversation, so they didn't notice it. was hit by a sneak attack by Kong Leopard, and killed a Tianwei.

As soon as the other two guards saw that their companions were attacked, they immediately jumped to the side, vigilant and watchful of the surroundings.

The old man asked sharply, "Lord Sun! What's going on! ”

Sun Zilin just asked how many people were needed, but he was just stalling for time, and it was only then that he knew what Kong Bao meant by "being seen doing things". Intercepting and killing Tianwei, what a bold man, Sun Zilin immediately made up his mind: borrow soldiers! But when I thought of the leopard behind the screen, it was really difficult to express my position on the spot.

Kong Bao also came to the county office early in the morning, wanting to know how the progress of Yi Xiaodao and the three of them was and whether they had found the three of them, but he didn't want to bump into Tianwei to borrow troops, so he had to hide behind the screen.

"Floods in Wancheng? Where is there any flood in Anhui? The people there live and work in peace and contentment, and they are very good. Tianwei? What Celestial? I haven't seen any heavenly guards all the time. The leopard carried the blood-stained knife and walked around the hall in place, pretending to be searching.

"Thieves dare! This is a great sin of extermination! The old man shouted and drew the thin sword at his waist. The Tianwei next to him was a young man, and he also pulled out a long knife at this time, and the two sides confronted each other like this.

On the official road from Wucheng to the capital, a group of more than ten riders walked under the scorching sun.

"Brother Kong, I've been running for a day, and I haven't seen anyone, why don't you go back? How can those little ghosts be so fast? Yiqi said aloud.

"Okay, let's go back. The eldest brother is eccentric, he faces Kong Jie on weekdays, on such a hot day, Kong Jie just needs to drink tea in the city tower and make a show, but we have to run around. The first rider at the head was Kong Fang, who couldn't bear the scorching sun at this time, and complained loudly.

"Brother Kong, ahead... There was a team of centaurs in front. A sharp-eyed cavalryman beside him spotted the oncoming team not far away and alerted Kong Fang.

"A team? Where did the centaurs come from? You, and you, you two go and ask what's going on. Kong Fang ordered.

The two horsemen quickly rode towards the oncoming team, and before the two of them ran closer, they galloped back on their horses, shouting as they ran: "Brother Kong, it's not good, it's Yin Mengwei!" ”

"Yin Mengwei!" The three words were like a hammer hitting Kong Fang's heart......

"Hole... Brother Kong, there are also in the back, when did they go to the back? We're surrounded," said the other rider beside him, pointing behind him in a hurry.

Sure enough, there was also a group of men and horses behind him, all cavalry, coming towards him in unison and unhurriedly.

"What to do? Brother Kong? The rest of the cavalry panicked.

"Dismount... Dismount, kneel down and surrender..."Kong Fang said tremblingly.
