The people full of people became more and more noisy, Wen Ping helplessly leaned on the door post without saying a word, and the soldiers watching the play also planned to see how the generals cope, Li Zhong held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, only to see him go straight to the people and throw the sword to the ground fiercely, because of the anger in his belly, coupled with his own infinite strength, the blade of the sword was directly inserted into the ground, and the hilt of the sword swayed violently from side to side. Seeing that his eyes were full of evil spirit, and that gaze was about to kill, the people were suddenly silent and did not dare to approach him. At this time, there was a voice from the crowd, "Coward, you only dare to be ruthless with us, do you have a kind of going to fight the Jin army?" Following the voice, Li Zhong walked over, it turned out to be a small student, and he was the most fierce.

"Did you shout?" Li Zhong looked at him and spit out these words. The scholar was a little frightened, and took a few steps back, but still stiffened his neck, "What's wrong with me?" Seeing that Li Zhong suddenly took off his armor and rolled up his sleeves, Xiao Sheng thought he was going to beat him, so he took a few steps back, who knows, Li Zhong exposed his arms, bronze arms, full of muscles like copper and iron, but there were scars of different sizes, he introduced to those people word by word why his scars were left in that war, and at the end, he took off his clothes, and there were also scars on his strong chest muscles and abdominal muscles, and the people were speechless.

"Those soldiers are the same, none of them have dozens or hundreds of scars on their bodies!" Li Zhong pressed towards that little boy step by step, raised his voice, and said, "You say we are cowards, what about yourself, if you are really brave, you will pick up your weapons, and you will go and kill the enemy!" That little boy was forced to retreat, and with the strength of breastfeeding, he pulled out the sword that Li Zhong had fallen to the ground, took a few steps back, protected his body with the sword, and said without confidence: "Don't come here!" Come over again, I'll kill you first, this coward!" Li Zhong was not moved by him at all, but took off the robe on his upper body directly, showed off his muscles, and accelerated his pace towards the little student, laughing loudly: "You kill, you cut at me! I borrowed ten dares from you, you don't even have the courage to kill, and you are embarrassed to say that our Qing army is a coward, you are a coward!" Xiao Sheng was so frightened that his hands trembled, and he didn't dare to look at Li Zhong's straight eyes. Li Zhong stepped forward quickly and kicked him to the ground. The little boy was ashamed and afraid, and he didn't care about holding the sword, so he limped step by step, and slipped on the ground. Li Zhong's move of "killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys" frightened the common people into looking at each other one by one, and they did not dare to speak or disperse, for fear of angering the Qing army. Li Zhong turned around, glanced at the people around him, and said loudly: "I don't want to say anything more to you, it's still the same sentence, those who stand in my way die, and those who follow me live!"

The people kowtowed again and again, "It's all up to the general!"

Looking at the people who gradually dispersed after receiving the grain, Wen Ping was finally relieved, beat Li Zhong's chest, handed him a pot of wine, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that so many people were sent away by you in a few words!" Li Zhong took the wine jug, took a sip, looked at the people who walked over, and said with a sneer: "People, it's all like this, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, you reason with him, don't be cruel to him, he won't be too lazy to listen to what you say!" Wen Ping nodded and said: " After these ordinary people finish taking the grain, they must withdraw quickly, I estimate that the Jin army will come in the next two days. Li Zhongmeng took a sip of wine, returned the wine jug to him, and said with a smile: "Your wine is really good, much better than my wine, when the war is over, remember to invite me to have a big drink!" Wen Ping smiled: "Don't say one, even if it is a hundred, I will invite it!"

At dawn the next day, when it was still a little dark, there was a sound of footsteps in the quiet streets, mixed with the sound of people. On closer inspection, it turned out that the soldiers of the Qing army were escorting the last batch of grain and grass, preparing to withdraw from Ningzhou. Li Zhong and Wen Ping escorted this batch of grain and grass. Seeing that the streets were already very quiet, Li Zhong said to Wen Ping: "The people have fled in all directions. Wen Ping nodded and sighed: "During the war years, the catastrophe came and flew everywhere!" As he spoke, a flash of fire flew by, and the sound exploded above the heads of the two like thunder. Then, I heard a soldier shouting, "The Jin army is here!"

Li Zhong and Wen Ping looked at each other in surprise, and Wen Ping hurriedly said: "The Jin army is very fast, it is said that it will take a day or two to arrive, why are they killed today?" Li Zhong didn't care about answering him, picked up his spear, stepped on the war horse, and hurried to the city gate. Wen Ping shouted behind him, "Li Zhong, what are you doing?" Li Zhong turned his horse's head and said to him: "I'm going to resist the Jin army, you quickly retreat with grain and grass!" After speaking, he galloped away. Wen Ping didn't care about stopping him at this time, and hurriedly beckoned the soldiers to step up and withdraw quickly.

Along the way, Wen Ping was worried, worried that something would happen to Li Zhong, and that the Jin army would chase after him. Fortunately, with God's blessing, the last group of Qing troops finally reached the Fanyang Mountain Range smoothly. The Qing army that arrived earlier had already established a new camp on the Fanyang Mountain Range according to the original pass defense of the Fanyang Mountain Range, with a total of more than 80 camps, which were divided into five checkpoints according to the interval of the mountain range. Taking advantage of the time to wait for Li Zhong, Wen Ping inspected the various military camps, visited the injuries of the sergeants, and also encouraged the morale of the army, and then also inspected the water source of the Qing army.

Gradually, the sun sets, night falls in the Fanyang Mountains, and a crescent moon rises into the sky. After waiting for a day and still no news from Li Zhong, Wen Ping was a little worried, drinking sullenly in the camp tent alone, it was very quiet outside, only the sound of the Qing soldiers on vigil talking to each other, and from time to time there was a gust of wind and bird chirping. Suddenly, there was a commotion and the sound of uneven horses outside, and it seemed that many people had come down from the mountains and were negotiating with the defenders on the mountains. Wen Ping hurriedly opened the military tent and walked out, and the armor sergeant who was about to report collided with him head-on, "The person who came said that it was His Majesty's soldiers and horses." When Wen Ping heard this, he hurriedly asked the armor to lead the way and came to the customs defense. Looking down against the female wall, it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see the human form, only a lot of torches could be seen, and the noisy sound of horses' hooves could be heard under the mountains.

"Is it Wen Ping?" As soon as he heard this familiar voice, Wen Ping knew that it was His Majesty, and hurriedly said loudly: "It's the last general, the last general will open the pass and let His Majesty enter the pass!" After speaking, he hurriedly ordered the switch, and the Qing army under the mountain range slowly entered the Fanyang Mountain Range.

Wen Ping hurriedly came to greet Lu Ji, only to see Lu Ji dressed in a military uniform, when he saw him, he took off his hooded cloak and handed it to the armor soldier beside him, with a neat bun on his head, covered with a white jade crown, and inside was a tightly bound white robe (Qing people advocate white, even Lu Ji is no exception), covered with a gray battle armor inlaid with a dragon pattern, a white robe on his shoulder, and a sword of the Son of Heaven around his waist. Wen Ping hurriedly bowed down to Lu Ji and was helped up by Lu Ji. Wen Ping said: "The last general was about to inform Your Majesty, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to come!" Lu Ji smiled: "At first, I didn't know, but I met the soldiers withdrawn from Ningzhou City on the way, and I only found out when I asked, you arrived here." After speaking, he also pointed to the gray-faced and disheveled soldiers behind him.

When Wen Ping heard that it was a soldier from Ningzhou City, he hurriedly asked, "What about Li Zhong?" Lu Ji's face suddenly sank, sighed, and said: "When I saw him, he had already fainted to the ground, and the imperial doctor checked his injuries and found that he had been hit by more than a dozen arrows, and the arrows had penetrated deep into his body, and the injuries were not light!" When Wen Ping heard this, he was very sad in his heart, and hurriedly grabbed Lu Ji and said: "Your Majesty, you must save him, General Li Zhong was injured in order to cover the evacuation of our Qing army!" Lu Ji patted his hand and comforted: " This is natural, he is not only your brother, but also my brother, even if I move this Tai Hospital, I will save him!" Wen Ping said: "I want to meet Li Zhong?" Lu Ji turned around, pointed to the stretcher behind him, and said, "General Li Zhong is there!"

Li Zhong on the stretcher, his face had been wiped off, his armor had been dragged away, and the wounds on his body had been bandaged, but the blood stains on the bandages were still visible, and there was almost no place on his sturdy body that was not injured. Wen Ping cried loudly: "Brother, you were fine when you left, why did you become like this now, it's all my Wenpin's fault, I knew it was like this, and I Wenpin came to the palace!" Lu Ji hurriedly stepped forward, helped him up, and said: "Don't say such things, it's your fault, it's all the Jin army's fault, Li Zhong was injured like this by the Jin army in order to cover my Qing soldiers!" He hurriedly asked the soldiers to carry Li Zhong to the bed, and let those imperial doctors hurry in to wait.
