Besides, Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi went out of the east gate of Yangzhou and went north all the way, which was very smooth. The sky will be bright, and the big ship sails along the canal into the ancient ditch in the north of Yangzhou City. Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi sat side by side on the bow of the boat, while talking, while admiring the lake and mountains in autumn, the two saw that the open lake was shrouded in a layer of light mist, under the background of the morning sun, flashing orange-red waves, like a newly awakened girl, both of them couldn't help but immerse themselves in this gorgeous picture, and admired the charm of natural creation, at this time there was a rush of horses' hooves in the distance.

After a while, a group of cavalry chased after them. Xu Zhi turned around and saw that the general at the head was Yang Xingmi, who took Jiang Chao, Ye Luchun, Lu Yongzhi and a group of disciples of Jiang Shenmiao, and chased him overnight.

When Yeluchun saw the big boat in the lake, he was very excited, and shouted: "Tell General Yang that there is an official ship snatched by the traitors in front! The pseudo-princess and the pseudo-concubine should be inside! Please give an order immediately to the general, and don't let them escape again!"

Yang Xingmi listened to it and said to Jiang Chao beside him: "What Yelu Shaoxia said is reasonable. Gang Master Jiang, quickly pass on the order of the commander! Let the disciples of your sect intercept the official ship in front!"

Jiang Chao raised the white rainbow sword in his hand and ordered in a loud voice: "Pass on the commander's command, I will help the middle brothers to quickly surround the official ships in front, if the rebellion on the ship refuses to surrender, they will be killed!"

Yang Xingmi smiled: "Gang Master Jiang, don't be anxious. According to Ben Shuai's view, it is best to send a few disciples who know how to water and are strong in martial arts, dive and board the ship, if you can capture the pseudo-princess and the horse alive, Ben Shuai will remember your first merit!"

Ye Luchun had just attached himself to Yang Xingmi, and he was afraid that Jiang Chao would steal the limelight from him, so he smiled and said: "Da Shuai, use a knife to kill chickens! Jiang Gang Master has the first sword in the world, how can he easily make a move?

Lu Yongzhi was not far behind and said: "Thanks to the recommendation of the marshal, the villain is in the position of general staff before he has made an inch, and the villain is also willing to capture the bandit leader for the general and build immortal achievements!" After speaking, he rode a war horse into the water and chased Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi's big boat.

Xu Zhi saw that dozens of soldiers jumped into the water one after another, besieging the moving big boat, Xu Zhi had no choice but to hold the Fengming sword in his hand, stand at the bow of the boat, and said softly to Zhou Yuanzhi: "Yuan Zhi, there will be a fierce battle soon, don't leave the eldest brother half a step!"

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that Xu Zhi was very careful about herself, and the strong enemies in front of her were all forgotten, and thought: "Even if it is difficult to escape today, you must die with Brother Xu, so that this life will not be in vain!", so she also took out her sword and protected it by Xu Zhi's side.

Xu Zhi saw that Lu Yongzhi rode a war horse, and rushed onto the boat from the water, he didn't wait for Lu Yongzhi to ride a horse to get on the boat, jumped up from the boat, and aimed at Lu Yongzhi's eyes is a sword. Lu Yongzhi hurriedly raised his sword to block, but Xu Zhi turned around in the air, changed from a flat stab to a downward split, and raised his sword to slash towards Lu Yongzhi's war horse, the horse let out a long roar, and died with a sword, and gradually sank to the bottom of the lake.

Lu Yongzhi fell from the horse into the water, but he couldn't swim, so he had to raise his hands and shout for help, but he soon sank to the bottom of the water and choked a lot of water before he was rescued from the water by several nearby soldiers, and he was already unconscious.

When Xu Zhi defeated Lu Yongzhi, Yeluchun also jumped up from the bottom of the water, splashing waves. He spread his wings in the air, jumped on the mast, and slid along the bamboo pole to jump behind Xu Zhi, he raised his sword to attack Xu Zhi after he stood still, Zhou Yuanzhi saw it, and hurriedly waved his sword forward, blocking Xu Zhi's back.

Yang Xingmi was dazzled and praised: "Yelu Shaoxia, what a fast skill! If you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light this time and establish miraculous skills, this marshal will definitely give you an additional official and a knight!"

Jiang Chao also praised: "Brother Yelu, your kung fu of "turning over the river and turning the sea", except for Jiang Chengfeng of the Changjiao Gang, I am afraid that no one in this world can match you!"

Xu Zhi didn't wait for Ye Luchun to stand firm, raised the Fengming sword, it was a move "Su Qin's back sword", his body flipped in the air, and the long sword stabbed Ye Luchun's chest. Ye Luchun was bent on winning in danger, regardless of the enemy on his belly and back, he swung his sword upward, trying to force Zhou Yuanzhi back, and then bent on dealing with Xu Zhi.

Who knew that Zhou Yuanzhi was bent on advancing and retreating with Xu Zhi, she did not retreat, but tried with all her strength to block a sword swung by Ye Lu Chun, but due to lack of strength, the long sword in her hand was shocked by Ye Lu Chun. Ye Luchun saw that Zhou Yuanzhi was empty-handed, but he had no intention of retreating, and thought: Why not take this opportunity to catch Zhou Yuanzhi to force Xu Zhi to submit, he shook a sword at Xu Zhi, and stabbed Zhou Yuanzhi in the throat with his backhand.

Xu Zhi saw that Ye Lu Chun's sword was less than a foot away from Zhou Yuanzhi, and shouted: "Yuan Zhi be careful!", in a hurry, he actually used the light song and man dance in the flowing sword, he flew up and jumped on the mast, with the help of the elasticity of the bamboo pole, he turned over several times in the air in a row, crossed the top of Ye Lu Chun's head, and made a move "Sword Pointing to the Abyss", swinging the sword to stab Ye Lu Chun's wrist.

Ye Luchun didn't expect Xu Zhi to take out his sword so quickly, so he had to stop attacking Zhou Yuanzhi, withdraw his sword, and use all his strength to swing his sword to tease Xu Zhi.

Who knew that Xu Zhi also stabbed out the Fengming sword in the air, and stabbed Ye Luchun's sword head with the sword head, the two swords bent at the same time, Xu Zhi used Ye Lu Chun's internal force and the flexibility of his body, and bounced high into the air. Zhou Yuanzhi looked up and saw Xu Zhi flowing freely in the air, his long robe fluttering, like a light fairy dancing in the air, and couldn't help but praise: "Brother Xu, your swordsmanship is really amazing, and you are about to become a sword immortal!"

At the moment when Xu Zhi was about to land, he saw Ye Luchun swing his sword and stab at him, he stepped on Ye Luchun's long sword with one foot, jumped behind him, took Zhou Yuanzhi's little hand, and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi, the eldest brother also lets you experience the feeling of fluttering immortals!", after speaking, the two crossed Ye Luchun's head again, turned around, and landed lightly on the opposite side of the boat. All this was done in one go, and even Yang Xingmi, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, couldn't help but praise: "This bandit leader is very skilled, if you can surrender to Ben Shuai at this moment, Ben Shuai will not only exempt you from capital crimes, but also promote you to be a general!"

Jiang Chao looked at Xu Zhi's skills, and he couldn't close his mouth in surprise, thinking: "This Xu Zhi's swordsmanship is not his opponent, only a few days after parting, his swordsmanship has made such a great progress, at this moment, he is making his own move, only by relying on the sharpness of the Baihong sword, otherwise it will be difficult to be his opponent!"

Xu Zhi replied loudly: "You don't have to persuade each other, Xu Zhi swears not to be a lackey of the imperial court!", after speaking, a "shock to the mountains and rivers" forced Yeluchun to the other side of the boat.

Yang Xingmi saw that Xu Zhi was unwilling to submit, so he had to sigh and said: "Since these rebellious people are obsessed to death, then Ben Shuai has no choice but to kill them all to avoid future troubles!", after speaking, he signaled Jiang Chao to use the white rainbow sword to deal with Xu Zhi.

At this time, there was a loud sound in the reeds in the distance, more than a dozen big ships came, a burly man holding Guan Gong's Qinglong Yanyue Knife, standing on the bow of the boat, majestic, and shouted: "Princess, don't worry, don't worry, our Xuzhou spear gate is here, dozens of officers and soldiers, why be afraid!"

Zhou Yuanzhi looked at the other party's boat and whispered to Xu Zhi: "It turned out to be Pang Xun from Xuzhou Spear Gate, aren't you his messenger?

Xu Zhi nodded, and seeing that the boat was not far from him, he took Zhou Yuanzhi's little hand, jumped on the other party's big boat, and shouted: "Xu Zhi has seen Brother Pang! Brother Pang and the disciples of your sect are the divine soldiers who fell from the sky, and they have solved the predicament of me and Yuanzhi today!"

Pang Xun made a big salute to Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi and said: "The subordinates are late to save the car, and ask the princess and the horse to punish the crime!", after saying that, he waved the order flag in his hand, and suddenly more than a dozen disciples on the boat jumped into the water one after another and disappeared without a trace.

Pang Xun saw that Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi were still a little worried, and said with a smile: "The princess and the concubine, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my subordinates are willing to accompany the two of them to drink while watching my spear sect disciples retreat from the enemy, how about it?"

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that Pang Xun was confident, and gave Xu Zhi a look, nodded and smiled: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, there is Lao Pang to help the leader!"

Pang Xun asked his subordinates to set up a table of wine banquet at the bow of the boat, and respectfully invited Xu and Zhou to sit on the table, and he was accompanied by the prime minister, Zhou Yuanzhi did not refuse, seeing that Xu Zhi was still polite with Pang Xun, he dragged him to sit down, and the three of them looked at the water and the shore while drinking.

I saw that hundreds of spear sect disciples in the water, under the leadership of a hall master, chanted the mantra "Hurry as a law" in unison, and dived to the bottom of the water one after another, and after a while, dozens of whirlpools of large and small were formed in the water. When the officers and men in the water saw this, they shouted that it was not good, and swam towards the shore one after another, but these whirlpools grew bigger and bigger, and they dragged the officers and soldiers in the water into the water one by one with life-threatening ropes, and those officers and soldiers shouted for help while stretching out their hands to try to grab the reeds in the water to save their lives, but after a while they did not enter the bottom of the water and fed the fish and turtles in the lake.

Yang Xingmi saw that those officers and soldiers in the water were not the opponents of the spear gate, and they all lost their lives in vain, and he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly transferred the archers to shoot arrows into the water, and those archers saw that there were no disciples of the spear gate in the water, only some whirlpools of different sizes, so they had to shoot at the whirlpool, although the arrows rained down, but all this was in vain, and those flying arrows fell on the water, making a crackling sound, and they were all rebounded back by the rippling water waves.

At this time, the unconscious Lu Yongzhi woke up and reminded Yang Xingmi: "Yang Dashuai, this is the unique water escape kung fu of our spear door, the disciple recited the water avoidance spell, and he can dive into the water for an hour, like a black otter in the water, invulnerable, and ask the marshal to order the soldiers to stay away from the water!"

Jiang Chao listened to Lu Yongzhi's words, and hurriedly raised the order flag, asking the soldiers to retreat dozens of steps from the water's edge. At this time, the disciples of the spear sect in the water took advantage of the retreat of the officers and soldiers, jumped out of the water one after another, took out the oiled paper bags from their arms, and recited a few more "urgent as the law", took the items in the oiled paper bags into their mouths, opened their mouths, and spewed out pillars of fire several zhang long, igniting the reeds at the water's edge, and spraying the pillars of fire on the bodies of the officers and soldiers. Those backward officers and soldiers caught fire on their bodies, and they fell to the ground and rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but the flames burned bigger and bigger, turning those soldiers into burning people, and after a while, they burned into charcoal, turned into ashes and scattered in front of Yang Xingmi.

Jiang Chao saw a disciple of the spear gate rushing towards Yang Xingmi, and hurriedly took out the white rainbow sword, a "horse stepping on Feiyan", with lightning speed, he took the first step, and the white light flashed, cutting off the disciple's head, he was afraid that Yang Xingmi would make a mistake, so he jumped back and protected Yang Xingmi's side.

Seeing the commotion in the official army, Lu Yongzhi hurriedly reminded loudly: "This is the Flame Demon Suppression Array of our Spear Gate, the marshal and all the soldiers must be careful to avoid it!"

Yang Xingmi had never seen the spear gate use these evil arts, the living people in front of him turned into ashes in an instant, the corpses and bones were gone, his face was pale with fright, and he almost fell off the horse, he no longer listened to Lu Yongzhi's admonition, turned the horse's head, and took the lead in escaping. When this group of officers and soldiers saw that the commander had fled, they suddenly lost their backbone and abandoned their weapons and fled.

Jiang Chao saw Yang Xingmi retreating, causing the army's morale to be unstable, and he knew that he was also unable to support himself, so he had no intention of fighting, and swung his sword to kill several followers of the spear gate, and hurriedly rode his horse to chase Yang Xingmi.

Lu Yongzhi saw that Yang and Jiang had turned their horses' heads and took the lead in escaping, and he also wanted to ride his mount to escape in chaos, but he took refuge in the imperial court and reminded Yang Xingmi twice to be careful of this scene, which was seen by Pang Xun, who was drinking at the bow of the boat. Pang Xun ordered in a loud voice: "My spear sect disciple obeys the order, we will capture the traitor Lu Yongzhi alive today, cut him with a thousand knives, and avenge the dead brothers! If there is a disciple who can capture Lu Yongzhi, a reward of 1,000 taels will be given, and let him be Lu Yongzhi's position in the gang!"

After listening to the words of the helper, all the disciples were filled with righteous indignation, rubbed their fists, and surrounded Lu Yongzhi and his war horses. Lu Yongzhi rode on a war horse, swung his sword and stabbed several disciples who stood in the way, this move aroused the dissatisfaction of the disciples of the spear sect against him, everyone no longer had the brotherly love of his past, and used the raging fire array to trap him to death, his war horse saw the flames that were several feet long, a long neigh, raised his front legs, and stumbled, throwing Lu Yongzhi out of the saddle and throwing him high in the air.

Lu Yongzhi hurriedly turned around in the air to avoid the siege of the Flame Array, but he landed unsteadily on his center of gravity, and his back hit the ground heavily.

A spear sect disciple saw Lu Yongzhi fall to the ground from the air, and without waiting for him to react, he pounced on him, firmly pressing Lu Yongzhi with his body, and the other disciples saw that the disciple was hit with one blow, and they were afraid that Lu Yongzhi would turn over and escape, so they also pressed Lu Yongzhi with their bodies and did not let him move.

Pang Xun saw that his subordinates had captured Lu Yongzhi, and he was very happy, and he saluted Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi a lot of wine, and swept away the unhappiness of being trapped in the spear door for many days.

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that more and more disciples were using the method of stacking arhats to suppress Lu Yongzhi at the bottom, and hurriedly said to Pang Xun: "Gang Master Pang, hurry up and let your subordinates stop, otherwise Lu Yongzhi will be suffocated to death if he is not crushed to death!"

Pang Xun said with a smile: "The princess is kind-hearted, and her subordinates should have obeyed the princess's orders, but Lu Yongzhi, a traitor, is really angry, let him suffer a little, and then execute him to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Xu Zhi also persuaded: "Brother Pang, Lu Yongzhi's apostasy and defection to the enemy is infuriating. But he may know the movements of the Huainan garrison in the imperial court, and it will be beneficial to both your sect and the righteous army to keep him alive for the time being!"

When Pang Xun heard this, he hurriedly ordered in a loud voice: "My disciples of the Spear Sect listen to the order, and the sect leader orders you to bring Lu Yongzhi, the dog thief, over, and the princess and the concubine will personally ask him about it!"

When all the disciples heard this, they stood up one after another, and when they saw Lu Yongzhi at the bottom, he was already foaming at the mouth, his eyes were white, his limbs were stiff, and he only had air in and out of breath. The two disciples each grabbed Lu Yongzhi's arm, dragged his body upside down, and took him to Pang Xun's big boat.

Pang Xun saw that Lu Yongzhi was paralyzed in front of him like a ball of mud, his limbs couldn't move, he didn't know if he was really dead or pretending to be dead, he kicked him twice with his foot, and seeing that he still didn't move, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to take a few basins of cold water and splash it on Lu Yongzhi's body.

Xu Zhi saw that Lu Yongzhi on the ground was awakened by the cold water, and his hands and feet moved, afraid that he would be cunning and fickle, so he took the opportunity to escape, and hurriedly shot at a few key points for him, paralyzing him on the board again.

Pang Xun saw it and praised: "It's still a careful horse, and I was almost deceived by this dog offal!"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Brother Pang has won the award, it's better to be careful when we are in danger!", Zhou Yuanzhi heard Pang Xun praise Xu Zhi for being brave and strategic, and his face was also like a flower, and he interjected: "Gang leader Pang, no matter how brave and resourceful Brother Xu is, isn't he also the messenger of your spear gate?

Pang Xun listened and didn't understand why. Zhou Yuanzhi briefly talked about how Xu Zhi met Qi Shanxing of the Spear Gate on the way, how he became the messenger of the Spear Gate by mistake, and briefly talked about how he met himself in Yangzhou.

Pang Xun listened and apologized repeatedly: "It's really the sin of my subordinates, I have wronged the horse." If the horse doesn't think that the sect is a group of rabble, his subordinates are willing to give up the position of the sect leader, please ask the horse to take the position of the leader of our sect and assist the Yellow King to pacify the world!"

Xu Zhi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Pang, Xu Zhi has been idle all his life, he is not proficient in the management of the people, and he has no ability to control the heroes, if Brother Pang gives way to Xu Zhi, won't it make the heroes of the world laugh?"

Zhou Yuanzhi also stopped: "Gang Leader Pang, Brother Xu has always been alone, if you let him be the gang leader, won't you restrain him, how can he be willing?"

Pang Xun listened to it and knew that he couldn't force the princess and the concubine to do so, so he had to laugh it off.
