Han Shizhong led his troops into the depths of the cave and saw an amazing scene.

I saw dead bodies all over the ground, blood flowing like streams, and a one-armed man in a purple robe with a hideous expression was swinging a sword to assassinate a woman.

The sword entered the chest socket, and the woman's face showed a relieved expression, and then the man pulled back the sword and wanted to cross his neck to kill himself.

Han Shizhong secretly screamed in his heart, this man is Fang La nine times out of ten, how can he let him die easily? If you don't catch the credit alive, you will be degraded!

He hurriedly shot with a crossbow in his hand, the man was unguarded, the crossbow arrow was bent in the middle of his arm, and the sword fell to the ground with a "ahhh

Han Shizhong looked at this Holy Emperor carefully, he was in his thirties, with yellow and black skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, eyes like electricity, and three short beards fluttering under his chin, but he looked like a general, and there was no imperial majesty.

Han Shizhong pondered: People often say that the king of the mountain in the green forest and his generals are called brothers, on the scale of gold and silver, eating wine and meat in a big bowl, there is no dignity and inferiority, it is considered equality, today look at Fang La's appearance, should be said accordingly.

He pondered his words in his heart, and said with a kind expression: "Fang La, don't be afraid, Ben will not hurt your life today, and it will not be difficult for you, I just wronged you to go with me, whether you live or die is all up to the boss." ”

Fang La glanced at Han Shizhong, raised his head and said, "Zhao Song dog slave, don't waste your tongue, how can I be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" It's a knife and a saw, why am I afraid! ”

Han Shizhong laughed, and a few more ropes were added, filling his mouth with rags, and then he stepped forward and looked at the corpse on the ground.

I saw that these corpses were old and young, the woman Fang La killed before was dressed luxuriously, he speculated that it was Fang La's queen Shao Shi, and secretly thought in his heart that this person was ruthless enough, and when he saw that the general trend was gone, he killed all the mother-in-law and children, so as not to be humiliated, so as to have a decision.

Han Shizhong looked at them one by one, secretly determined the identity, and finally came to Shao Yuxian's corpse, this is an important figure in Fang La's thief army, even if the dead body is worth a lot of money.

He saw that the Empress of the Holy Kingdom had a calm and relieved face, and even the corners of her mouth were smiling, and he couldn't help but wonder, how could she be so peaceful? This is a bit unreasonable, but I can't figure it out, just when the people in the Demon Sect have been bewitched for a long time and regard death as home.

After Han Shizhong saw it, he searched the cave again, and strictly ordered the soldiers to guard it, never make the slightest mistake, and not to beat and scold Fang La.

Then he rested for a while, and ordered the soldiers to escort Fang La on the road, and those corpses were also wrapped in cloth armor, and let the soldiers carry them on their backs, which were all officials and large sums of silver.

Finally got out of the valley stream, returned to the right way, walked not far to face an army in the jungle, led by the Xihe Road pioneer Xin Yongzong, followed by the Xihe Road commander Xin Xingzong, leading the western army to come.

Xin Yongzong is the younger brother of Xin Xingzong, both are the sons of Xin Shuxian, Xin Shuxian is an old veteran of the Western Army, once opened the border with Tong Guan twice, Ding Ding Longyou, and later served as the governor of Huangzhou.

The Xin family is more domineering in the Xihe area, because most of the generals who laid the Xihe Longyou are based on other military roads, not in this place, and have no intention of Xihe, so the Xin family took advantage of the situation to take Xihe as the foundation, take root and operate in this place, and belong to a large household.

The power of the Xin family grew, and later when the Song army invaded Liao, Xin Xingzong was already the commander of the Song Army's Western Route Army, and the commander of the Eastern Route Army was on an equal footing.

And his brother Xin Qizong and his brother Xin Yongzong are the generals of the Shengjie Army, and the Shengjie Army is an elite personal army created by Tong Guan, which shows Tong Guan's trust in the Xin brothers.

Even when Tong Guan went out to patrol the two rivers and negotiate with the Jin State to take the hometown of the mountain, Xin Xingzong, Xin Qizong, and Xin Yongzong all accompanied each other in Taiyuan.

Xin Xingzong also followed Ma Kuan as an envoy in the winter of the seventh year of Xuanhe and went around the Jin Kingdom.

To put it bluntly, the Xin family is Tong Guan's descendant.

Xin Yongzong's eyes were sharp, and he caught a glimpse of the Song soldiers on the opposite side coming over, and the prisoner in the middle was a man, describing his appearance as very similar to the pictures of Fang La issued by the army, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed and immediately returned to the Chinese army.

After he saw Xin Xingzong, he pointed forward with his hand and said, "Second brother, I don't know which way of the soldiers, it seems that they have captured Fang La, and they are coming here." ”

Xin Xingzong sat on the horse, put his hand on the awning and looked at it, it really looked like Fang La, and this soldier didn't know him, so he immediately made a move of the gun and shouted loudly: "Sanjun Erlang, listen to the general's order, the licensed goods have arrived, Hugh asks what's the matter, go and rob me!" ”

All the soldiers were overjoyed, and they waved their guns and swords, and came forward to rob Fang La.

Han Shizhong saw that there were soldiers coming to rob him, so he immediately raised his horse and shouted, "Who are you?" How rude! ”

How could Xin Xingzong's soldiers listen to him, and only stepped forward to catch up, Han Shizhong was furious: "Where are you strong thieves, aren't you a thief army pretending to save the thief chieftain La?" ”

He buttoned up a big hat to the other party, and then danced the wind knife to wound and repel more than a dozen soldiers who robbed people, and then hurriedly ordered the soldiers of the department to surround Fang La in the center together, and personally blocked the incoming troops in front of him.

Xin Xingzong saw it, and couldn't help but scold the incompetence of the soldiers in his headquarters: "It's all a bunch of straw bags, wine bags and rice bags, and they can't even do this thing!" ”

After that, he directly ordered Xin Yongzong to fight Han Shizhong with a gun, and then the soldiers on both sides also stepped forward and fired.

The Xin army is large, there are five or six thousand people, Han Shizhong has few people, and there are less than two thousand after the loss in the cave.

Han Shizhong was so angry that he couldn't help but scold: "You gang of dog robbers, what kind of people and horses are you, how dare you rob and intercept people under the blue sky and white sun?" It's really too deceitful, I'm fighting with you! ”

He was angry in his heart, and he came up with a splashy temperament, even if he couldn't take back people, he had to entangle the other party, and he rushed up with his soldiers with a wind-splashing knife.

At this time, Xin Xingzong rode forward, stopped the knife horizontally, and shouted: "Who are you?" Dare to be so arrogant and hurt people, don't you want to rebel? ”

Han Shizhong was even more annoyed when he saw that the other side was quite unreasonable, and his ability to cover his hat was not as good as his own, he was not a subordinate of this army and horses, so he was naturally not afraid of him, and shouted loudly: "Since you are not a robber, why don't you dare to sign up, why do you hide it, are you afraid that I will go to complain to the captain?" ”

Xin Yongzong looked at him from the side, and said coldly: "This is General Xin, who is the commander of Xihe Road, where are you a junior colonel, or hurry up, don't know what to do, and miss the big thing of suppressing bandits!" ”

Han Shizhong's eyes rolled when he heard this, he really didn't recognize Xin Xingzong, after all, the Western Army was 150,000, and generals like Xin Xingzong were all serving around Fengtong Guan, where could he get forward, and said at this moment: "It turned out to be General Xin, the villain is General Wang Yuan's subordinate Han Shizhong, who was ordered to search for Fang La, the villain went through thousands of difficulties and dangers, suffered several lives and deaths, and injured countless soldiers, before he captured Fang La from the Gujian Grottoes, and was about to be relieved to Liu Dashuai, how did General Xin call his subordinates to rush up and grab prisoners for merit?" He also injured a lot of my soldiers, what is the reason? ”

"Hmph, what should I be? It turned out to be a nobody! Xin Yongzong saw that he was sharp-toothed, and couldn't help but snort angrily: "Bold dog, talking nonsense, this is obviously caught by my Xihe army from the valley, how did you catch it?" You are so upside down, and you are not afraid of rotting the root of your tongue and being punished, when our Xihe army is easy to provoke? When my Xin family is easy to bully? ”

Han Shizhong saw him reversing black and white, opening his mouth to fight his father, just a headache, and argued: "You are from the north, how did you capture it by your Xihe soldiers?" Even if you are bigger than me, you shouldn't bully others, bully the small with the big, and rob me of a small general! ”

Xin Yongzong scolded angrily when he heard this: "Dog head, what kind of person are you, dare to contradict me? Saying that, the horse waved a spear to stab Han Shizhong, Han Shizhong used a knife to block it, "dangchang" out of the circle, and then swept Xin Yongzong, the two swords and guns exchanged, fighting in one place, the two soldiers shouted one after another, and began to fire again.

Later, Xin Xingzong's face sank like water, seeing that his younger brother and Han Shizhong were not taking advantage of fighting together, if it wasn't for Han Shizhong to keep his hand, he would have been beheaded under the horse, he was annoyed and pointed to the front and scolded: "Okay, you are a partial general, don't you eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, dare to entangle Bendutong, and let Fang La go, I have to kill you!" ”

After that, he ordered his two lieutenants to step forward together to assist Xin Yongzong in besieging Han Shizhong.

Han Shizhong's body trembled with anger, and he scolded regardless of it: "Traitor to the country, once Fang La runs away, it will be caused by your merit, I will reason with you in front of the captain!" "Saying that, use the wind knife to shelf, with one enemy and three, and fight a big battle.

"Han Shizhong, you don't know how to lift, my second brother wants to kill you, why do we need to do it! As long as you make a look, you can chop you into pulp, a row of arrows can shoot you into a hedgehog, you quickly lead the troops away, we will not hold you responsible, if you walk slowly, you will inevitably be killed. Xin Xingzong kept sneering.

Han Shizhong thought secretly in his heart at this moment: The other party is so powerful that it is difficult to win, even if it is entangled, it will not take advantage, and the single person will not suffer the immediate loss, so it is better to go back and tell General Wang and judge him in front of the captain.

He had the heart to collect the soldiers and rush back to report the news first, but he saw that his subordinates were all crooked and slanted, and they were depressed, obviously knowing that they couldn't compete with this Xin family brother, they had no spirit and were lazy, and Xin Yongzong and others saw that he was discouraged, and laughed.

Xin Yongzong was full of interest at the moment, and shouted: "The sons of the three armies, front and back, left and right, must strictly guard the thief chieftain Fang La, and you will all be rewarded after you are released to Tokyo......"

Just when Han Shizhong was discouraged and wanted to withdraw his troops and leave early, there was a sound in the northeast direction, and there was actually another sentry.

There are a lot of people and horses in this sentry, there can be 5,000 people, but although the soldiers are also wearing Song armor, they are slightly different from the Western Army, they are brighter and fresher, and there is almost no wear.

The person at the head was just a fold, and when he saw the two people fighting, he recognized it, and wondered: "What are you doing here?" How can you still use knives and guns? ”

Han Shizhong saw that it was his old boss, so he hurriedly sold a flaw and jumped out of the circle, and stepped forward to complain.

Zhe Kecun listened for a moment and understood, and looked at Xin Xingzong.

Xin Xingzong saw that the matter was exposed, if others could continue to quibble, he suppressed the small with the big and said that Fang La was captured by his own family, and it had nothing to do with Han Shizhong, but Zhen Kecun was not afraid of him, and he didn't want to offend the Zhi family, not to mention that he didn't make up how to capture it in his heart, and he didn't communicate with the soldiers below, so he had to say stupidly: "If you don't have the cooperation of the general, how can you, a little general, take down the thief chief!" ”

Han Shizhong pursed his lips, seeing that Xin Xingzong didn't dare to be greedy for all the merits, and didn't say more, just looking at how to save it.

Zhen Kecun glanced at Fang La, who was tied up strongly, and said with a smile: "This thief chief Fang La led tens of thousands of soldiers to flee, how can he be easily arrested?" If it weren't for the concerted efforts of our three generals, the pawns marched forward bravely, and there were countless casualties, how would they have been caught? I don't think I need to fight anymore, it's always my three families who capture it with their hearts, and just go back to repay the merits! ”

The corners of Xin Xingzong's eyes jumped when he heard this, and his heart said that it would be easy to pick peaches, but he was also a white wolf with empty gloves, so he didn't speak again at the moment.

Han Shizhong was helpless, he didn't want to tear his face with Xin Xingzong, and he didn't want to be angry, after all, he also saved his credit, which was also good, and he didn't lose all this great merit a lot, so he nodded.

Then the three people and horses had complicated faces, and carefully escorted Fang La down the mountain.

Besides, the woman of the Orion family in the mountains who had shown the way for Han Shizhong heard people not far away shouting horses and neighing, as if they were fighting, so she went out to take a sneak look, but her face changed sharply, her heart was shocked, and her body trembled suddenly.

It turned out that the Song army, who inquired about the sinister place, captured the Holy Father Fang La, she couldn't help but secretly call "bitter", she didn't want to tell her when she asked for directions, and only when she heard the sinister place did she say that she was counting on jackals, tigers and leopards to eat these Song Army, but she didn't want to hurt the Holy Prince.

This woman was angry and annoyed, her man originally joined the Ming Sect, but he died in Suzhou, so he was wearing a white hemp rope around his waist at that time...... Shouted, "Oh my God! I am the one who killed the Holy Father! ”

Then she was confused, her steps were staggered, she ran to the edge of the cliff, and jumped headlong......

Outside Jianmen Ridge, Zhao Kai had already returned to the account at this time, his face was pale, his two legs did not obey the call, even if he dismounted, he also let his relatives support him, and then put it into the account.

Sitting on the chair, the two strands are still trembling, I don't know when it will be good, I am in a hurry to make tea and soup to suppress the shock, and my mind is calm for a long time.

But at this moment, suddenly the curtain opened, and a loud laugh entered from the outside: "When did the third brother come, why don't you continue to sit in Hongzhou?" ”

Zhao Kai heard his voice and knew who he was, and sneered: "I didn't see the second brother when I was fighting, this battle is over, and the second brother came!" ”

It was Zhao Ta who came in, he counted the time in Hangzhou, so he brought the guards over, checked it a little after arriving, and went straight to Zhao Kai's camp.

Zhao Ta was not annoyed when he heard this, but said: "What the third brother said is extremely true, you can't see it when you fight, and you won't come until the battle is over." ”

When Zhao Kai heard this, he knew that he was ridiculing his family, so he snorted and turned his face away, not looking at Zhao Ta.

Zhao Ta took the tea bowl by himself, poured the freshly boiled Xiaolong Tuan, drank it after a while, and only said: "I forgot to bring tea when I left Beijing, the Xianglin and Baoyun in Longjing have a light taste and tasteless drinking, and the third brother has the remaining dragon tuans over there to bring me a few cakes." ”

Zhao Kai was so angry that his teeth itched, but he couldn't, and said: "The second brother asked people to take it, such a trivial matter, why bother me." ”

At this moment, suddenly there was a noisy sound outside, and it seemed that countless soldiers had returned, listening to the cheers and birds, and they were infinitely happy.

The two were puzzled, Tong Guan lifted the curtain and came in and said, "Two kings, it's a happy event, Fang La has been caught!" ”

Zhao Kai was immediately overjoyed: "Where to arrest?" Tong Shumi, take this king to see! ”

Tong Guan was also excited at this time, not only was Fang La caught, but almost most of the famous and surnamed thief generals were either captured or killed, and only those who were not in the source of the gang escaped outside.

Moreover, in this war, a lot of gold and silver treasures were found in the cave, and a lot of thieves were scraped out of the thief army.

Tong Guan led the two of them to walk and said: "Tell the two kings that the pseudo-queen Shao Yuxian, the pseudo-prince Fang Shu, Fang Hao, the pseudo-phase Fang Fei, the Taishi Chen hoop bucket and others are all subdued!" ”

Zhao Ta said curiously: "Only Fang La can live?" ”

Tong Guan said: "According to the capturing general, Fang La was slashing and killing these relatives at that time, and then wanted to commit suicide in fear of crime, but was hit by a crossbow arrow from the general, so he didn't die. ”

Zhao Ta nodded, Fang Laxiao is male, but this kind of thing can be done, he asked again: "How is Fang Baihua?" ”

Tong Guan hesitated: "I haven't seen this woman...... Maybe take advantage of the chaos to escape? Wait for the minister to turn around and ask carefully. ”

Zhao Ta touched his chin thoughtfully.

After a while, he came to a tightly guarded tent with three layers inside and three layers outside, and the soldiers hurriedly saluted, and when they entered, they saw that a person was tied to the center pillar of the tent, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a lion's nose and a wide mouth, who was not Fang La!

Fang La was surrounded by more than a dozen people, most of whom were wearing generals' armor, and they were the commanders or generals of several military horses this time.

Only one of them, shabby in armor, stood behind the people with a look of indignation.

Zhao Ta looked at him, but he was a vice hero, with a square face with tiger eyes, burly and straight, but his position was incompatible with those generals who were wearing this body.

Everyone saw the salute, Tong Guan let the details of the capture, Zhen Kecun and Xin Xingzong dragged the general forward, saying that it was a three-way joint arrest, so that the general would speak.

The general respectfully looked at the two kings and the privy envoy Tong Guan, and first stated the origin of his name, which was Han Shizhong, a subordinate general of Wang Yuan of Yanlu.

Zhao Ta looked at him again when he heard this, and knew that it was greasy, and the other two must have been caught by Han Shizhong, and the other two were just fighting for merit, but if there was no fold to save, it would be monopolized by Xin Xingzong, and it would take a long time to flip it over, and it would help Han Shizhong if it was saved.

Han Shizhong said earlier that he brought Xin Xingzong inside, but he didn't dare to fake when he was arrested, and killed Fang La with a sword, and wanted to kill himself, so he explained it in detail.

After that, there was silence.

Tong Guan said: "Do the two kings have questions?" ”

Zhao Kai has nothing to ask, as long as he catches it, he doesn't want to worry about other things.

Zhao Ta thought for a while, looked at Han Shizhong and said, "General Han, this king asks you." ”

Han Shizhong didn't even dare to call out, he was just a general, he really couldn't reach the title of general, and the soldiers below called it just a compliment, so he immediately confessed.

Zhao Tan smiled: "When you used your hand crossbow to block Fang La's self-killing, did this thief chief dodge?" ”

Han Shizhong remembered it clearly, and said busily: "Back to the second king, there is no dodge, only one arrow will bend the middle arm, the sword of the thief chief will fall to the ground, and he will be caught!" ”

Zhao Ta raised his eyebrows, Fang Lake is a grandmaster, what does a grandmaster represent? The representative is the existence of the founding sect in martial arts, and the representative does not have to inherit what his predecessors have learned, and he can create advanced martial arts at home.

The grandmaster can fight bloodily, injured but not stiff, not to mention only breaking one arm and cultivating for a long time, even if the arm is broken at the beginning, Fang La still just relies on flying grabbing and sliding away from the high wall of Hangzhou? And he still has Fang Baihua on his body!

Even if the potential is exhausted and he is seriously injured later, with his identity, with a grandmaster like Chen Hoop Bucket by his side, how can he not use elixir and not heal his injuries?

Why didn't Han Shizhong shoot a crossbow in one hand, but he didn't know how to dodge?

Fang La couldn't get out, killed his wife and children, and then inevitably begged for death, because he knew that falling into the hands of the Song army must be all kinds of torture and torture, and in the end he would inevitably die!

So he had to commit suicide, and anything that prevented him from committing suicide would be resisted by him with all his might.

It is impossible for him not to fight the crossbow arrows, although the crossbow arrows are fast, but he is a grandmaster, even if he is injured and can't stop the crossbow arrows, it is impossible not to even resist the action!

Unless...... He didn't even react! His martial arts are simply not enough to match the rate of fire of the crossbow arrows!

But as a Grandmaster, this is simply impossible!

Whether it can be blocked or not is different from whether it is blocked or not.

According to Han Shizhong, Fang La didn't do anything, this is impossible!

Isn't he a grandmaster? Not a grandmaster...... Isn't it Fang La?!

Zhao Ta was immediately taken aback by this speculative conclusion, how could it not be Fang La? This way attacked Bangyuan, chased and killed in the mountains, and Chen Hoop also died over there, Han Shizhong said that it took five or six rounds of crossbow arrows to shoot.

There are also Shao Yuxian, Fang Shu, Fang Fei and others, after these corpses were pulled back, they were all identified, and none of them were bad!

These are not bad, how can Fang La be bad? He had dealt with Fang La a few times and was familiar with Fang La's appearance, so he stepped forward to take a closer look.

Just look at the person tied to the pillar is Fang La, and the wound at the broken arm, which was broken from that position in Hangzhou City that day, it will never be wrong!

Zhao Ta's face was cloudy and staring at Fang La, and everyone in the tent didn't know what he meant, they all held their breath, didn't dare to speak, just watched.

Zhao Ta thought of Fang Baihua in his heart, where did Fang Baihua go? And female soldiers, it seems that there are not so many female soldiers who have died?

He said, "Sect Master Fang, do you still recognize me?" ”

Next to him, he stepped forward to take out the rag in Fang La's mouth, Fang La glared at Zhao Ta, and said angrily: "Poultry King Zhao Ta, how can I not recognize you!" ”

Zhao Ta squinted, his voice was similar, he had heard Fang La speak, although it was very rare, but he felt that there was no flaw, and this Fang La recognized him!

Zhao Ta circled around the pillar a few times, but still didn't notice anything wrong from his appearance, and suddenly spoke: "When Sect Leader Fang went to the Lantern Festival in Tokyo that year, why did he hide his martial arts? ”

As soon as he said this, Fang La's eyes were slightly dazed, but it was only for a moment, and he snorted coldly: "I'm happy to hide it, what are you doing with this fowl king?" If you want to kill or chop, listen to it! ”

Zhao Ta showed a hint of a smile, looked at him for a moment, and then turned around and walked out of the tent.

Behind Tong Guan Zhao Kai hurriedly followed, Tong Guan saw some clues, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Kai also frowned and said: "Second brother, don't be pretentious, although I haven't seen this thief chief, I don't think he behaves like a fake!" ”

Zhao Ta paused, shook his head and said, "It's difficult to talk about it here, let's talk ......about it when I go back."
