"Lord Sun, how is this thief in your county office? Don't take down this thief quickly! The old man confronted Kong Leopard with a sword, and shouted at Sun Zilin, the commander of Wucheng County.

"Master Sun, people died in your yamen, and you can't drag it out. As long as you help me kill them, and then catch those thieves, Taishi Li, your glory and wealth are indispensable! The leopard also said faintly.

Sun Zilin saw that both sides were fighting for their support, and he also understood that this was a critical time, and if he made a wrong step, he would lose everything.

"Someone!" Sun Zilin thought for a moment, and he had already made up his mind in his heart.

Dozens of officials rushed to the yamen, waiting for Sun Zilin's orders, and the three of Kong Bao were still facing each other, waiting for his choice.

"These two thieves pretend to be Tianwei, and they are armed with the intention of hurting people, so take them down for me quickly!" Sun Zilin pointed to the two Tianwei and said.

When the two Tianwei heard this, their hearts sank, it seems that Sun Zilin, the commander of Wucheng County, has already made a choice, and today I am afraid that a fierce battle will inevitably occur.

"Elder Xu, I'll cover you, do you feel like going to find those three children and take them to the capital to report the situation to the saint." Young Tianwei said in a low voice.

Xu Lao also knew that this was the best choice, only he knew the whereabouts of the three teenagers, if they were all folded here, there would really be no one to go to the capital to report the situation. There was no excuse, and he nodded immediately.

"What are you waiting for! Come on! Sun Zilin hurriedly shouted to the officials.

More than a dozen officials pounced, and the young guards also pounced, fighting with the officials. The young Tianwei was like a spiritual snake, tossing and turning in the crowd, and when he saw an opportunity, he swung out a knife, and after a successful blow, he withdrew and retreated, like a poisonous snake that spits out a letter and hurts people. From time to time, there were officials screaming and being cut to the ground.

Xu Lao was on the side, spotted a gap, jumped up, jumped over everyone, and wanted to run out.

The male leopard on the side kept staring at Xu Lao tightly, and when he saw Xu Lao jumping up, he also rushed out of the door, and slashed at Xu Lao with a knife.

Old Xu's long sword was behind him, blocking this slash, and he immediately fought with Kong Leopard.

Sun Zilin looked at the crowd in the yamen, carefully walked around the side gate to the courtyard against the wall, and continued to beckon the yamen to come and reinforce the battle.

Xu Lao and Kong Bao became more and more fierce as they fought, the sword slashed, and the blue bricks on the ground quickly shattered. On the young Tianwei's side, with the increase in the number of officials on the side, the Tianwei gradually couldn't resist, and after a while, there were already a few more wounds on his body.

What made Tianwei even more anxious was that Xu Lao was also dragged by Kong Leopard outside, and if it went on like this, it was only a matter of time before the two of them were buried in the county government.

Seeing that he couldn't fight with Xu Lao for a long time, Kong Bao was angry in his heart, and the knife momentum was faster than a knife, and his strength also increased. Xu Lao's weapon is a sword, and he has suffered a loss in strength and momentum, often Kong Leopard is killed with a knife, and the long sword blocks the blade, but it can't stop the strength of the knife, and he suffers a lot of hidden losses.

"Spirit Snake Asking for Life!" The young Tianwei made a move, and the long knife in his hand swung around his body, protecting his body, but there was a strange step under his feet, and there was no intention of retreating in the gap of the crowd. Blood splattered from the edge of the blade.

Seeing that this person had changed his tactics, all the officials went crazy, and they all dodged and retreated, fearing that they would hurt themselves.

Forcing back the people around him, Tianwei was really like a spirit snake, ejecting out, and went straight to the leopard.

It turns out that this is the real killer move of the "Spirit Snake Asking for Life", and the assassin guard is the assassination guard, paying attention to the success of one blow and withdrawing. At this time, he abandoned everything, regardless of it, and vowed to kill the target, just like a poisonous snake that is fierce and never dies.

When Xu Lao heard that Tianwei had used the "Spirit Snake Asking for Life", he had been preparing, and at this time, the wind rose in the back of his head, and he stabbed at the hole leopard with his sword.

Kong Leopard flashed, but when he saw Xu Lao jumping up, before he could react, he saw the young Tianwei rushing forward with a knife.

"Look for death!" Kong Bao shouted loudly, kicked down the flying Tianwei, and was about to turn back, Xu Lao had already swept to the gate of the yamen.

Kong Bao was angry in his heart: "Ah! A knife slashed, and a knife qi slashed towards Xu Lao.

Xu Lao was hit by Kong Leopard's knife, but without the slightest pause, between the ups and downs, he had already rushed to the street, and soon disappeared into the crowd of people.

Kong Bao turned around and glared angrily at Tianwei on the ground, the corners of Tianwei's mouth were bleeding, but when he saw that Xu Lao had to take it off, he smiled: "Kong Bao, you are not dead... Uh..."Before the words fell, he was stabbed by Kong Leopard, and his huge head rolled to the ground.

"General Kong, this... How's that good? Seeing that Xu Lao had fled to the street, Sun Zilin was horrified, and hurriedly ran to Kong Bao's side and asked.

"Lord Sun, please also increase the intensity of the search. Otherwise, if he escapes to the capital and sues the royal court, you and I will be in trouble. Kong Bao killed Tianwei, calmed down, and turned to Sun Zilin and said.

Sun Zilin nodded hurriedly: "Okay... Good... Increase the number of people. How many of you... Dispose of the corpses of these two thieves, and the rest of you, go out and find someone!! ”

Xu Lao ran to the alley of the Land Temple, couldn't hold back any longer, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and fell to the ground.

Yi Xiaodao heard the movement outside, and hurriedly came out to check: "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Didn't you go to the Wucheng County Order? ”

Xu Lao reluctantly sat up, suppressed the churning blood in his chest, and said: "The Wucheng County Order colluded with Kong Leopard, I waited to go to the county office, I was ambushed, and I escaped alone..."

Although Yi Xiaodao had expected it in his heart, he asked anxiously at this time: "Then what should I do now?" Shall we take you back to the capital? ”

"It's too late, I can't afford to travel long distances... I'll wait to go to the west city to lead away the pursuers, and you will quickly get out of the east city and rush to the capital... I'll try to help you delay time as much as possible..."Xu Lao said intermittently.

Xiang Lian'er and He Yue'er also came out at this time, and when they heard Xu Lao's words, Xiang Lian'er hurriedly said: "Old man, let's go together, that hole leopard kills people without blinking." If you stay here, you're going to die. ”

Xu Lao was about to open his mouth, the blood in his chest was churning, and he couldn't speak, so he had to hold his breath and concentrate and suppress the blood.

Yi Xiaodao nodded on the side: "Okay, Old Xu, let's go to Dongcheng." If you find the right opportunity, you will go out of the city, and you will definitely report them to Kong Leopard. ”

"Yi Xiaodao, you..." Xiang Lian'er was about to open her mouth, but was pulled by He Yue'er, and when she saw He Yue'er shaking her head, she had to keep silent.

After a while, Xu Lao felt a little better, and stood up with his sword: "This will trouble a few little friends." As he spoke, he staggered towards the end of the alley.

"The old man's name?" Yi Xiaodao shouted behind him.

"When you get to the capital, say Elder Xu, they will believe you." Old man Xu said without replying.

After Xu Lao left, the three of them looked at each other.

"Knife, what's next?" He Yue'er asked.

Yi Xiaodao replied: "Let's go, go to Dongcheng immediately, without further ado, let's go." Ah! I forgot to ask Xu Lao for money to buy a horse. As he spoke, he wanted to enter the temple and bring the waist knife that the two soldiers had dropped yesterday.

Xiang Lian'er said dissatisfiedly: "I said that you have been like this several times, Zhang Xianling, so is the uncle, and now Xu Lao is too, why don't you save any of them?" ”

Yi Xiaodao turned his head and looked: "I have said it many times, they are for us, only if we escape, they will die worthwhile." If we go back and take Elder Xu with us now, we will only catch ourselves. When the time comes, no one will denounce him, Kong Bao will return to Beijing, and he will be a general who will continue to be powerful, who will avenge the blood and revenge of Wancheng? ”

Xiang Lian'er was so blocked by Yi Xiaodao that she couldn't speak, in fact, she also knew that Yi Xiaodao was right, but she just felt that Yi Xiaodao was too cold-blooded, if one day she felt that she and He Yue'er were a burden, or when it was necessary...

He Yue'er hugged Xianglian'er and said: "Xiaodao's decision is right, if it really comes to the last resort, even if Xiaodao wants to give up on us, I am willing." As long as everyone's goal can be achieved in the end, sacrifice is inevitable. ”

When Xianglian'er heard this, she looked at He Yue'er, only to see that He Yue'er's eyes were clear, looking straight at Xianglian'er, making Xianglian'er feel: He Yue'er didn't lie, she really could do it.

"Can you do this for him?" Xiang Lian'er muttered quietly.

He Yue'er laughed: "It's not just me, one day, Sister Lian'er, you will do the same." ”

"Report, my lord, the thief appeared in Xicheng." A government official rushed to the county government to report.

"General Kong, why did this appear in Xicheng? Could it be that the tiger is diverted from the mountain? Sun Zilin asked Kong Bao.

Kong Bao snorted coldly: "I guess he just wants us to think like this so that we can escape from Xicheng." Beyond the west city is the Yangtze River, if you enter the river and take a boat, it will be difficult to catch it. And down the river, you can reach the capital in a few days. Walk! Now hurry up and chase it! ”

Sun Zilin nodded again and again, ordered a few people to stay in the ya, and rushed to Xicheng with the rest of the people and Kong Leopard.

"Knife, look, many of the defenders are rushing to Xicheng, shall we go now?" Yi Xiaodao and the three of them were hiding in an alley in Dongcheng, and when they saw the defenders of Dongcheng driving away, Xiang Lian'er asked anxiously.

"Let's go, now!" Yi Xiaodao said, leading the two towards the city gate.

The three of them walked to the city gate and were stopped by the defenders: "Stop! What for? ”

"Big brother, I and my daughter-in-law, my sister came to the city to sell vegetables, and the vegetables were taken away by Zhang Yuanwai in the city, and asked us to send another batch, no, let's go back and drag another batch over." Yi Xiaodao's face does not change color, and the lie will come.

"Vegetable sellers? How much did it cost? What about money? When the defenders heard this, they were slightly pleased.

Yi Xiaodao said: "This dish has just been delivered to Zhang Yuanwai's house, and he said let's send another batch and count the money together." Please be accommodating, and when we receive the money, I will give you this number. After speaking, Yi Xiaodao quietly gestured, and looked left and right, for fear of being discovered.

"Okay, well, since it is a dish that Zhang Yuanwai wants, then you hurry up and let it go!" When the defenders saw Yi Xiaodao's gesture, they smiled happily and hurriedly beckoned the defenders behind to let them go.

"Thank you, thank you." Yi Xiaodao and the three of them hurriedly walked out of the city.

The three of them had just left the city, and they saw a person in the city poking their heads: "You three stop!" Don't go! ”
