Chapter 188: Supreme Integrity
Li Hongzhang and others started to charge directly from the gate of the palace, and along the way, they saw people killing people, ghosts and ghosts, as long as they were alive, they were all killed. Occasionally, when you meet one or two martial artists with a little skill, you will also settle the battle after two moves, and then continue to rush towards the depths of the palace.
Passing through the empty hall, a group of dozens of people split up and headed towards the back of the palace.
Li Hongzhang walked on the left, and as soon as he entered it, a bright long knife rushed towards him, and someone was actually hiding behind the door and ambushing. However, this sword has no trajectory at all, and it is obviously issued by someone who has not cultivated martial arts, so there is no need to be afraid.
Li Hongzhang avoided it very lightly, and then directly stabbed the door panel with a spear, killing the people who were lying in ambush behind.
When the other party fell down from behind the door panel, he saw a white-faced, beardless, tattered court servant, who turned out to be a eunuch.
Li Hongzhang glanced at the other party, and then continued to rush forward, his spear was invincible, and no one could stop him. Among the many centurions, his cultivation can be regarded as top-notch, a great martial arts master, unique.
Passing through a corner, into a garden, there are many people dressed as eunuchs walking around here, looking panicked.
Li Hongzhang shook his spear, gave up his intention to kill these innocent people, and walked directly through the garden into another inner hall.
Ten minutes later, Li Hongzhang completely walked through the entire palace, and at this time, he found that the palace had a back door, which seemed to be the remnants of the Red Turban Army who were preparing to flee for their lives.
The back door was two heavy wooden doors, covered with copper nails, and Li Hongzhang, along with several other centurions, joined forces to push the door open.
Outside, there was a small path, winding and winding, as if it led deep into the mountains.
Li Hongzhang and others stepped onto the path to continue the pursuit.
After another ten minutes, they found Li Zhong's traces. At this time, Li Zhong was under the escort of several figures, running quickly towards the mountain.
In the midst of them, there was another small figure, also running fast. This small figure seems to be a child, about ten years old, but the other party is wearing a black robe, covering his head, and no one can see who is under the robe.
"Master Li, you have no way to escape, and now our people are chasing you all over the mountains, why don't you just arrest you?"
Li Hongzhang stood on a mountain col, looking at Li Zhong, who was struggling to escape a few hundred meters away, and shouted.
Li Hongzhang also wants to show affection to that Li Zhongxiao and move him with reason, if he can persuade him, it will naturally be a happy result.
Unexpectedly, what Li Hongzhang didn't expect was that Li Zhong didn't even look back, obviously not taking him as a big soldier in his eyes.
After thinking about it, Li Hongzhang was suddenly relieved, no wonder, the other party didn't even listen to the persuasion of the general Lao Shan, so why did he listen to his own words?
Even the remaining dozens of people were besieged and killed, then Li Zhong could be ruthless, what else could move him?
Thinking of this, Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly, gave up the idea of persuading Li Zhong to surrender, and resolutely chased after him with a spear.
Li Zhong doesn't give up, how can he, Li Hongzhang, be a person who gives up lightly?
After chasing for more than ten minutes, everyone came to the top of a huge slope.
This slope is about 45 degrees, it is really long and steep, twisting and turning, standing at the foot of the mountain, it seems to be a divine road to the sky, majestic and precipitous, which makes people shocked.
Several roads of the regular army of the imperial court are here, twisted into a single force, and this will be the last way. Because I am afraid that after going up this slope, there will be no road ahead, and there is a cliff in front of you, and below the cliff is the ocean.
At this moment, Li Zhong and the others were already running the slope, and they probably still looked like four or five people, including the small figure.
Going up this slope almost means their final fate, either they are arrested or they will only die, and they will not escape if they are winged.
"Chase"
Li Hongzhang snorted lightly, and then, dozens of people carried their weapons and began to run quickly towards the top of the hillside.
I have to say that because this hill is too steep, it is very difficult for the guide to climb up. After running for about two or three hundred meters, even martial artists like Li Hongzhang and others felt a little tired.
Li Hongzhang looked up and saw that Li Zhong seemed to be unable to run anymore, bending over and standing on the slope with a big mouth, his hands on his knees, looking extremely painful.
Li Hongzhang and the others hurried to catch up.
"Master Li, let's go. ”
A martial artist walked and walked around, and turned around to find that Li Zhong was gone. He is so obese that he can't run anymore.
The martial artist hurriedly turned around and came back, wanting to take Li Zhong with him.
"No, I can't walk anymore, you guys take the little young master and go quickly, I'll intercept them here. ”
Li Zhong rejected the martial artist's offer and resolutely stayed where he was.
Seeing Li Zhong insisting like this, the martial artist had no choice, so he had to give up, turned around and continued to run towards the top of the hill with the small figure in a black robe with another martial artist.
Having come to this point, he has reached a dead end, even if he climbs to the top of the mountain, what can he do? It is not that he cannot escape the round-up of the regular army of the imperial court, Li Zhong thought of this, and was immediately disheartened.
With such a figure, he is middle-aged, affects his actions, and runs away with the large army, which will only drag people down, and Li Zhong doesn't understand it? So it's better to give up on himself and let the people behind him catch him.
The pace of Li Hongzhang and others is getting closer and closer to Li Zhong.
Li Zhong didn't look back, and slowly walked to the side of the road, where he was now, he could already see the boundless sea, and he could also hear the sound of the sea waves crashing on the shore, "bang, bang, bang", and so on.
Green mountains and green waters, righteousness, breezes, so many beautiful rivers and mountains!
Li Zhong quickly regained his normal appearance, his chest was raised high, his hands were behind his back, and he stood on the high mountain, looking at the rivers and mountains.
At this time, Li Zhong was not afraid at all, but was very open, like a bard watching the scenery.
At the time of life and death, Li Zhong was fearless, but a pride rose in his heart, and he never returned.
Li Hongzhang and the others had already come to Li Zhong's back, only ten meters away from Li Zhong.
But at this time, they all stood still, because the courage and courage that Li Zhong showed completely shook them.
Li Zhong has never practiced martial arts, he is purely a literati, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has no power to restrain chickens. But in his heart, he is so powerful, far better than most people, and even many warriors can't compare to him.
