At this time, the small courtyard outside had been completely controlled by the Reverse Scale Division. More than a dozen secret agents were guarding everywhere, and when they saw them coming out, they quickly gathered without waiting for the order of their boss and protected Murong Xuetuan.

When everyone was about to go out, a black thing suddenly flew out of the bamboo forest outside the wall, and with a swish, it fell in front of everyone.

As soon as the thing hit the ground, it rolled forward with a grunt for a while before it stopped.

Qiao Shengchun took advantage of the light of the torch to subconsciously glance at it, and suddenly said in shock: "Old Xu? Xu Jinfeng! ”

When the others heard this, they all looked at it, only to find that the black thing turned out to be a human head! The head of the Reverse Scale Siluoyi Branch made Shi Xu Jinfeng!

In an instant, the spies felt their blood cold.

Lao Xu is in charge of commanding the periphery today, why is he in a different place now?

Just when everyone was shocked and inexplicable, a long laugh sounded from the gate of the courtyard: "Murong Xue, Murong Xue, you bait, you finally caught a few big fish for the old man." ”

With the sound of laughter, hundreds of Xuanjia soldiers came out of the darkness and surrounded the entire courtyard, and a large number of archers appeared on the rooftops around them at the same time.

The courtyard gate was illuminated by torches as if it were daylight, and Lao Jianhua appeared there, with Di Xian and Xie Bao on the left and right respectively.

Qiao Shengchun's eyes were cracked, and he shouted angrily: "Old thief, you are so ruthless! ”

Lao Jianhua smiled contemptuously: "Sheng Chun, you are really getting more and more unruly." When he saw the old man, not only did he not salute, but he even spoke ill of him? Back then, under my hands, you were just a small deputy flag leader, and you usually didn't even dare to make a breath, why did you become so rampant now that you were promoted to the commander of the command? ”

"Phew, old thief! I have an enmity with you! Qiao Shengchun couldn't help but scolded: "Don't put a score for Lao Tzu, I want you to pay for your blood debt today!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled out his sword and flew at Lao Jianhua.

Seeing this, Xie Bao, who was standing beside Lao Jianhua, suddenly shouted, picked up two big copper hammers, and directly stepped forward to block Qiao Shengchun's way.

The hundreds of pounds of sledgehammer were like bamboo poles in Xie Bao's hands, light and weightless, but the hammer head flew up, and it was faster than the opponent's steel knife.

In just three or four shots, Xie Bao's copper hammer hit the blade, and with a snap, Qiao Shengchun's steel knife flew away. Another brass hammer spun around and nearly swept him in the back.

Qiao Shengchun was in danger, narrowly avoided the hammer blow, pulled out a dagger out of nowhere, and started hand-to-hand combat with Xie Bao in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the palm order had sent the weapon flying, the two Reverse Scale Divisions were worried that he would suffer a loss, so they couldn't help but rush up and join the battle group.

Xie Bao threw off his arms, not afraid of the three of them, a pair of bronze hammers were danced by him, and he completely mastered the initiative on the field.

Lao Jianhua coldly ordered: "General Xie, Qiao Shengchun wants to catch him alive." This person is known as the first master of torture in Beiya, and the old man wants him to try my methods to see who is more clever. ”

"Yes!" Xie Bao agreed loudly, flashed to the side of an undercover agent like a beast, shook his left hammer with a false move, and then followed by the right hammer like a flint, and smashed it down. The spy was confused by his tricks, and he couldn't react, and was smashed by the copper hammer to the point that his brain burst out, and he died on the spot.

Xie Bao didn't stop after he succeeded, turned around and knocked away the weapon of another secret agent, and then flipped his wrist and hit the opponent in the chest. With a muffled bang, the spy was hit by him, flying more than two feet away, and his body was still spurting blood in mid-air and died.

Seeing this, Qiao Shengchun couldn't help but be furious, and desperately approached Xie Bao, and his moves were all life-threatening fights.

Xie Bao took a long time, constantly flashing and moving, obviously trying to exhaust Qiao Shengchun's strength, and finally capture him alive in one fell swoop.

But I didn't expect that Qiao Shengchun seemed to be desperate, but in fact, the drunkard didn't mean to drink. I saw that he saw the gap that Xie Bao was avoiding, and suddenly shook his hand and shot the dagger at Lao Jianhua, who was watching the battle, and shouted at the same time: "Lao Wang! Remove! ”

Wang Hai, who had been watching the battle from behind, heard this signal and dodged at the same time.

He cut the cloth belt that Murong Xue was tied around his waist with a single knife, and at the same time that Rui Ji slipped off his back, he threw out seven or eight blurry beads in all directions one after another.

The smoke rose suddenly, and immediately completely enveloped everyone, Wang Hai grabbed Murong Xue's shoulders and quickly retreated.

Almost at the same time, all the Reverse Scale Division spies raised their blades and slashed at Lao Jianhua like mad tigers.

For a time, the side hospital fell into chaos.

Xie Bao, Di Xian and other Xuanjia troops, relying on their own military advantage, mercilessly launched a siege and slaughter, vowing to trap Qiao Shengchun and them to death.

However, unexpectedly, although there are only about 20 people in the Reverse Scale Division, they are all outlaws, facing enemies several times their size, they have no fear, the more they kill, the more they kill, the more crazy they become!

The sword slashed at the body, and the spies not only did not scream in pain, but also showed a strange smile, and their mouths were like chanting incantations, and they roared in a hoarse voice: "Loyal to my emperor, kill thieves!" Kill the thief! Kill the thief! ”

Just when Qiao Shengchun and the others were fighting desperately and dragging the Xuanjia Army, the old Wang Hai, who was born quickly, had already pulled Murong Xue and rushed out from another direction with the help of the smoke.

As he rushed forward, he shouted in Murong Xue's ear: "General, be sober!" The prince is still waiting for you! ”

Murong Xue really planned to break free from Wang Hai, turn around and fight back, and rescue Rui Ji who was left in place, but when he heard the word prince, his heart sank.

Li Bing, for Murong Xue, involves too many things.

Only the crown prince can make him give up everything.

Murong Xue looked at the Xuanjia army that was surrounding her, and her heart was as uncomfortable as turning over the river and the sea. He didn't dare to think about what misfortune would happen to Rui Ji next, let alone whether the child in her womb would survive.

At this time, the only thing he can do is not to live up to the warriors who sacrificed his life to save him, try his best to save this life, return to the prince, and complete his unfinished mission.

Suddenly, Murong Xue waved his arm away and grabbed Wang Hai's hand, roared in pain, and then snatched the long knife of a Xuanjia army, cut off half of the opponent's head with one sword, and then waved his blade like crazy, breaking through all the way to the rear courtyard wall where the army was empty.

The Xuanjia army was shocked by his brave spirit, and couldn't help but retreat. In a blink of an eye, Murong Xue and Wang Hai successfully fought their way out of the bloody road and climbed over the wall. After the two of them landed, they found the right direction, and just after running a few dozen steps, they heard Lao Jianhua's laughter behind them: "Murong Xue, where are you running?!" ”

Wang Hai couldn't help but secretly complain.

Lao Jianhua was one of the best masters in the Beiya Reverse Scale Division back then, and his skills were on par with Shen Lie. At this time, Mo said that there were other parties' subordinates everywhere, even if there was no Xuanjia Army, one-on-one, he and Murong Xue were definitely not Lao Jianhua's opponents.

In desperation, I could only lose the car to protect the handsome.

"General, remember Songshan Zen Temple! Come on! Wang Hai lowered his voice, and after leaving this sentence for Murong Xue, he turned around to meet Lao Jianhua, who was chasing closer and closer.

Murong Xue knew in her heart that Wang Hai was planning to sacrifice himself and desperately entangle the terrible opponent so that he could fight for a chance to escape. On the battlefield, every second counts. Murong Xue couldn't care about any affection at this time, so she could only speed up and run without saying a word.

When he rushed to the outer wall of Taifu's Mansion and jumped over the wall, he couldn't help but glance back, and happened to see Wang Hai being stabbed by Lao Jianhua with a sword, and his body fell to the ground softly.

"Lao Jianhua, I'll grass your mother!" Murong Xue cursed with tears in her eyes and jumped out of the wall.

-

has been an official in Luoyi for a long time, and Murong Xue has long been very familiar with the terrain here. Therefore, even if there was no one from the Reverse Scale Division to answer outside, he still walked like a fly, walked through the streets and alleys, and ran all the way in the night.

Murong Xue chose the direction to escape, just like when Shen Lie was besieged, first of all, Luoshui in the city. Luoshui traverses the eastern capital, not only the tributaries are complicated, but also can go straight out of the city, as long as he jumps into the river, even if Lao Jianhua transfers the entire Xuanjia Legion, he may not be able to catch him.

Murong Xue broke through the Xuanzheng Fang, went straight to the Yuema Bridge, and jumped into the cold Luoshui River with a plop before Lao Jianhua chased after her, causing a circle of ripples.

-

When Li Jiangyao returned to Luoyi, the eastern capital, with Zhou Xing and others, it had been ten days since Qiao Shengchun and the others were ambushed and the whole army was annihilated.

The secret stronghold set up outside the city has been emptied at this time, and there is no contact with the secret piles in various places in the city.

Including Qiao Shengchun, Wang Hai, and Xu Jinfeng, the heads of fifty-eight elite spies of the Reverse Scale Division were hung high in the wooden cage on the upper floor of the East Gate of Luoyi, and they were not blind.

After some hard investigation, the fragmentary news brought back by Zhou Xing, Qian Honglie, Zheng Xiao, and others from everywhere gradually stitched together into a complete picture, showing the general origin of the entire incident.

That night, because of Lao Jianhua's false shot, the Reverse Scale Division set up a dead end, causing all the forces left in the Eastern Capital to be almost uprooted by the Xuanjia Army. Including many secret stakes that have been used as a cover for a long time as an ordinary identity, lurking in Luoyi and rarely participating in operations, have not been spared.

Wang Hai and Xu Jinfeng were both killed in battle with the enemy in the process of rescuing Murong Xue, and they died happily. The deputy commander made Qiao Shengchun not as lucky as them.

He was seriously injured and captured by He Bao, and he didn't even have a chance to commit suicide by swallowing poison, so he let Di Xian directly knock out the full mouth of teeth and completely suppress it.

After that, Lao Jianhua inflicted inhumane torture on Qiao Shengchun in the Taifu Mansion in front of a group of Xuanjia soldiers, and tortured him for three days and three nights before finally dying of anger.

During the entire torture process, there were as many as a dozen people who vomited and fainted directly on the spot. However, Qiao Shengchun never gave in and begged for mercy, not only did he not reveal the slightest information about the anti-scale division, but also scolded Lao Jianhua again and again until he lost his breath, he can be called an iron-clad tough guy.

Abused and killed Qiao Shengchun, Lao Jianhua only said lightly: "The old man didn't plan to get any secrets from you, he just wanted to play with you." ”

Although the contact time was not long, in Li Jiangyao's impression, Qiao Shengchun was calm and sophisticated, loyal and humble, and as the highest-ranking official of the Reverse Scale Division except for Shen Lie, he never had the slightest complaint or obstruction about Li Jiangyao taking command halfway.

On the contrary, no matter what kind of order is arranged, and no matter how many grades there is between the sixth-rank captain and the deputy commander, as long as he Li Jiangyao speaks, Qiao Shengchun will implement it meticulously and seriously.

A good person.

This is Li Jiangyao's heartfelt evaluation of Lao Qiao before.

There are also Wang Hai, as well as Xu Jinfeng, and those spy brothers of the Reverse Scale Division, don't say how bad, ruthless, and perverted they are, they are willing to appear in front of people as demons because of their absolute loyalty to the emperor and the Holy Tang.

To be precise, to appear in front of the enemy.

Qiao Shengchun's voice and smile have long been deeply engraved in Li Jiangyao's heart, lingering.
