News of deaths kept coming.

This night, under the cover of heavy rain, a game of killing and fleeing was staged in some corners of the city.

No one expected that Zhao Lanjiang would throw himself into the net, knowing that a net was laid here, and he took the initiative to come, but the purpose was just for a duel.

They didn't expect that Zhao Lanjiang, who had always had no last resort, would be poisoned by the Grass of Bliss, and his skills would be greatly reduced before the duel.

Whether it is the people in the rivers and lakes, or the soldiers and horses of the king of Shu and the king of Yu, for the first time in these years, they have the opportunity to kill Zhao Lanjiang, and everyone falls into madness.

Zhao Lanjiang continued to break through, and the news of his aggravated injuries came. Let them see hope, in their eyes, Zhao Lanjiang at this time is already a battle of trapped beasts.

Hidden Yang City, the God of War in Western Xinjiang, and the King of the Golden Sword, no matter how dazzling these names are, and then they are deified, Zhao Lanjiang is a person after all.

If you are human, you will make mistakes, and if you make mistakes, you will die.

Outside the city, the drums shook the sky.

The people who didn't know why even thought that there was an enemy attack, but they didn't know that tonight, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties made such a big move, just for one person.

The heavy rain gradually stopped.

The dark clouds dispersed, revealing a bright moon. In the city, there is a sense of coldness and slaughter.

The watchtower was restarted, and the scouts who walked in the corners continued to transmit information to the watchtower through flags and secret words, and then spread throughout the city through the sound of drums.

Of the 100,000 soldiers and horses, 50,000 surrounded Kaifeng Mansion into an impenetrable iron bucket, and even a mosquito could not fly out, and the remaining 50,000 people sneaked into Kaifeng City, all over every corner of the city.

Once the traces of Zhao Lanjiang were discovered, the officers and soldiers fired several volleys, dragging Zhao Lanjiang with saturation attacks, and the masters of the rivers and lakes all over the city rushed to help.

With the help of the identity of Yang Xueqiong of the White Horse Gang, Xiao Jinyan and others were able to move unimpeded in Kaifeng City, but when he learned that there were 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city chasing Zhao Lanjiang, Xiao Jinyan was also a little surprised.

In the southeast direction, there are arrows piercing the clouds.

When Xiao Jinyan and others rushed over, only a dozen corpses were left at the scene, and dozens of injured Jianghu people were left.

One said: "The thief was stabbed several times and fled eastward. ”

Xiao Jinyan examined the man's wound, glanced at Li Tingcheng, and saw that the other party was worried, Zhao Lanjiang was really in danger now.

If it is usual, under the cross-cutting knife, it is almost difficult to leave a living hole.

And now he can only escape with injuries to the enemy. And no one knows how long this kind of hunting will last.

Rushing all the way, Xiao Jinyan suddenly asked, "Where is it further east?"

Yang Xueqiong asked, "Why is this problem?"

From the old archway to the Zhuangyuan Bridge, in Jinshui Street, from the west to the east, the officers and soldiers were heavily fortified, but all the way down, there were heavy armor soldiers and crossbow archers guarding the west, north and south directions, but only in the east direction, the deployment of troops was relatively weak.

Li Chengcheng said, "Catch rabbits." ”

Yang Xiling asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Chengcheng asked rhetorically, "At the foot of the snowy mountains, when you hunt rabbits in winter, you will lay nets on three sides, and then the crowd will rush and chase and bite with thin dogs, and the rabbits will have nowhere to escape, so they will run wildly to the place with the least people, and there are nets waiting for them." ”

Yang Xueqiong instantly understood what they meant.

Hundreds of Jianghu people, as well as 50,000 officers and soldiers, drove Zhao Lanjiang to the east of the city like a rabbit.

She said, "Further east, there is the Great Xiangguo Temple." ”

At this time, the drums on the watchtower suddenly became urgent, and countless people in the rivers and lakes, as well as the soldiers and horses in the entire city, began to gradually move eastward.

And the direction is the Great Xiangguo Temple.

Daxiangguo Temple, located in the east of Kaifeng Mansion, was built in the Northern Qi Dynasty, Tang Ruizong gave the name, has a history of 1,000 years.

When Xiao Jinyan and others arrived at Daxiangguo Temple, the monks in the temple had already been dismissed.

Outside the temple, there are three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounded by officers and soldiers, the front row is heavy armor soldiers, holding shields, and further back, there are crossbowmen.

Countless heroes gathered in front of the main gate, discussing and arguing.

"The thieves are now trapped in the temple, as long as we put down the mustard and rush in together, even if Zhao Lanjiang has three heads and six arms, he will not be our opponent. ”

"Even if Zhao Lanjiang is killed, whose million taels of silver are counted? Whose official title is the official who the court promised to reward? In this battle, how can the dead and wounded brothers be counted?"

Originally, these people came from all over the rivers and lakes, and no one was convinced, and the Yellow River gang leader who organized this martial arts conference

Boss Fan is dead, and in today's pursuit, everyone is fighting separately like headless flies, and they have suffered heavy losses, but once they get together, they start to fight again.

A middle-aged man said, "Everyone, I have a word. ”

When Xiao Jinyan saw this person, he wondered in his heart, it was Zuo Stan, how could this guy not die yet?

Someone said coldly, "If you say the words of the former alliance leader of the left, forget it, ten years ago, the people of the Eight Great Sects believed you, and they all died in the Shaolin Temple a hundred miles away." ”

Zuo Stan, "Actually, that incident has nothing to do with Zaixia. ”

Everyone accused, Zuo Stan couldn't argue, and he was blamed for the catastrophe of the Shaolin Temple.

There are also humanitarians, "After all, he is the former leader of the martial arts alliance, you might as well listen to him." ”

Li Chengcheng looked at Xiao Jinyan and laughed in a low voice, "Former martial arts alliance leader, tsk...... You two walk together. ”

Xiao Jinyan smiled awkwardly, "Can it be the same?"

Li Chengcheng said, "I really don't understand, what's the use of you guarding that broken formation, if it's me, a sword splits, what this river and lake should look like, it's what it looks like." ”

Fortunately, they hid in the corner of the crowd and did not attract everyone's attention.

Zuo Stanan said loudly, "Tonight, almost all of our masters in the entire rivers and lakes are gathered here, and last time we were killed by the old thief of the Heavenly Dao, this time we can't repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

"Bah, crow's mouth. ”

"Get to the point. ”

Zuo Stan said, "The thief Zhao Ranjiang is now in the Daxiangguo Temple, this demon slaying conference, there are 451 people registered, and so far, 137 people have been killed in battle, and good results have been achieved." ”

Someone sneered, "Three hundred and fourteen more people will die, and it will be complete." ”

"You're good at arithmetic!"

Zuo Stan was not unmoved, and continued, "Now that the thieves are at the end of their crossbows, they will die in our hands tonight, I propose, let's kill them together later, if any brothers unfortunately die in battle, each of them will get a thousand taels of aftermath, and the rest of the silver, how about we divide the people of the Demon Guardian Dao equally?"

"The silver is divided equally, how to calculate the title of the court's reward?"

Zuo Stan said, "Isn't our martial arts conference postponed, after the demon is eliminated, we are competing in martial arts and swords, and electing a new martial arts alliance leader, who will inherit the title, how about it?"

"I don't agree!" said one person, "only one thousand taels will be obtained when you die, and when there will be a vicious fight, someone will steal and play tricks, hide in the corner to grind foreign workers, and finally steal the fruits of victory, Mr. Zuo's way is not appropriate." ”

"And what do you think?"

"I'm only responsible for the disobedience, and as for the solution, I don't care." ”

Zuostan wants to kill him, how can such an invincible person who is invincible and strong in the outside join the demon eradication conference?

Someone said loudly, "It's better to be like this, according to the distribution of merit, the one who cuts off the head of Zhao Lanjiang will take 300,000 taels, the one who wins the golden knife will take 200,000 taels, and the one who caused him heavy damage will take 50,000 taels, and how about the rest be divided equally?"

That's a good idea!

Everyone agreed.

One of the generals said to the crowd, "If you don't attack it, we will attack." ”

At this time, the temple door was wide open.

Zhao Lanjiang held a golden knife, stood in the courtyard, and said awe-inspiringly: "Zhao someone's head is here, don't be afraid of the dead, just come and get it!"

The originally noisy crowd was silent in an instant.

Just now, the crowd was excited, and they couldn't wait to rush in, kill demons, and make great achievements, but when they really faced this murderous demon king, no one dared to make the first move.

Xiao Jinyan and Li Chengcheng, who were in the back row, heard the voice and showed a trace of doubt.

Seeing this, the general surrounding the temple said quickly: "Release the arrow!"

Hundreds of long arrows roared up and shot towards the Great Xiangguo Temple. The rain of arrows was overwhelming, rushing away like locusts, and the black pressure was overwhelming.

Zhao Lanjiang let out a long roar.

The long knife in his hand turned into countless golden lights, and the sharp sword intent shrouded the entire body in it.

Ding Ding Ding!

The arrows shot at Zhao Bar River, broke one after another, and fell to the ground.

The general was unmoved, giving orders over and over again. In a short time, seven or eight arrows had already rained down, which was the rhythm that was intended to tire Zhao Liangjiang to death.

Burst!

Finally, an arrow hit Zhao Lanjiang's calf.

Seeing this, the heroes did not come again when the opportunity could not be lost, and shouted, "Kill the demon guard, subdue the demon and eliminate the demon, just tonight!"

More than 300 people poured into the Great Xiangguo Temple.

There is a rush through the main entrance.

There are also people who use light power to climb over the wall.

Xiao Jinyan took out a piece of silver from his arms.

It was the one in the study of the Yellow River Gang Fan Boss, and he asked Li Chengcheng, "I remember, the Vermilion Bird Workshop in Yinyang City also casts official silver, right?"

Li Chengcheng said, "This is indeed the case." ”

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "That makes sense." ”

Yang Xiling said, "How is this good? You guys, don't you save you when you die?"

Li Chengcheng also said, "With his own money, he spends money to hire people to buy his own life, and only he can do such a stupid thing in the world." ”

Yang Xiling was confused, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Haven't you always wanted to know, who hired someone to assassinate Zhao Lanjiang all the way, and who paid for the Yellow River Gang to hold a martial arts conference?"

Yang Xiling asked, "Who?"

Xiao Jinyan pointed to the Great Xiangguo Temple.

Yang Xiling had an incredulous expression, "You mean Prince Zhao, how is this possible?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "The truth is difficult to understand, it is indeed true. ”

In the Great Xiangguo Temple, the heroes rushed in, and Zhao Lanjiang dragged a lame leg into the Tianwang Palace.

"Zhao Lanjiang, tonight, you can't fly with wings!"

No, why does it smell of tung oil and sulfur?

Everyone rushed into the Heavenly King Hall and saw rows of black boxes.

Gunpowder!

The crowd was shocked.

It turned out that gunpowder had already been buried in the Great Xiangguo Temple, 100,000 catties of gunpowder. The crowd rushed out.

Bang!

There was a loud bang.

Immediately, a wave of air rushed over.

The entire Daxiangguo Temple became a ruin in an instant.

Fire!

Yang Xiling was hit by the air wave, and at this time, a hand reached over, and Li Chengcheng grabbed her hand.

Xiao Jinyan changed color.

"How so?"

They guessed the reason correctly, but not the ending.

The head of the general showed a sneer on the corner of his mouth, ignoring the raging fire burning in the temple, led hundreds of soldiers and horses to rush in, and ordered, "Surround the temple, if someone trespasses, there will be no mercy!"

Yang Xiling was stunned by the sudden explosion, and the whole person was in a trance.

Li Tingcheng said to Yang Xueqiong, "You look at Yang Xiling, let's come when we go." ”

After that, he and Xiao Jinyan performed light skills and sneaked into the Great Xiangguo Temple.

Inside the Great Xiangguo Temple, there is blood.

Stump limbs, broken arms, bloody bodies, and people who were seriously injured but not dead wailed.

The general was unmoved, as if he had already expected this outcome.

When he came to the Heavenly King's Palace, he saw a charred corpse, and before he died, he still held the golden knife in his hand.

There is only one golden knife in the world.

The general showed a grim smile, "Millions of silver, Marquis of Ease?"

He took out the golden knife from the corpse, cut off Zhao Lanjiang's head, and ordered, "Report to Luoyang, the thief Zhao Lanjiang is ambushed, the golden knife has been obtained, and the treasure will be offered tomorrow!"

In the dark, Xiao Jinyan and Li Chengcheng saw everything in their eyes, and when they saw this, they sighed and left the Great Xiangguo Temple.

Li Chengcheng said, "No wonder you can't sense Zhao Lanjiang." ”

Xiao Jinyan looked sad, "It's just a pity for Li Bufan." ”

In the world, the people who can use the horizontal knife technique, in addition to Zhao Lanjiang, there is also his apprentice Li Bufan.

Only by using the injury as a cover will people not suspect that his traverse knife technique will be greatly reduced.

It's just that thousands of calculations, thousands of calculations, he didn't calculate, the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind.

Li Bufan died in battle.

Li Chengcheng's expression was solemn, and a chill rose from his heart. He asked Xiao Jinyan, "Aren't you angry?"

"Why?"

"He took advantage of us. ”

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Are you angry at this duel that you didn't have as promised?"

Li Chengcheng said coldly, "Martial arts competition is a very sacred thing, but what I care more about is that he betrayed us." ”

"What do you want to do?"

Li Chengcheng said: "I have a sword, I want to ask him." ”
