Chapter 180: Alone

After returning to the tent, the evil demon said to the ghost general, "I thought about it for a moment, if I don't pursue, I will be a little cautious and too cautious. Go to the barracks, pick two hundred brothers, and let them go in pursuit on fast horses. You don't have to go, you can't do such a trivial thing in person, just let the people below do it. ”

"The last general commands!" the ghost general took a few steps back and walked out of the tent, ordered two hundred fine horses, and let them chase after them quickly.

Due to the darkness of the sky and the fact that there were too few torches on the castle tower, Xiao Lie and Xing Hao couldn't see who was talking after looking at it a few times. Xiao Lie had no choice but to ask: "Who are you?"

The man burst out laughing again: "Hahaha...... Xiao Lie, you are really a noble person who forgets things, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you even forgot about me. I'm your old subordinate, and what you asked me chilled!"

Based on the sound and the faint light of the fire, Xiao Lie vaguely judged that the person on the upper floor of this city seemed to be Sui Yi, the chief soldier of the original Ice City. Xiao Lie raised his hand and asked tentatively, "Are you Sui Yi?"

"You finally remembered, it's okay, if you can recognize it, even if the two of us don't have a colleague in vain. ”

"Sui Yi, what do you mean by what you just said? What do you mean that we are people who have committed the most heinous crimes, and you must have a basis for what you say. ”

"According to?" Sui Yi smiled disdainfully: "You all Wei Mansion united with Lord Cheng Liu in the Imperial History, and falsely imprisoned our Lord Qin, and almost took his old man's life. Thanks to the Holy God's discernment, the adults of my family can be regarded as surviving in danger, and you say that you are not guilty of great crimes. Now that Lord Cheng Liu is also dead in the imperial history, your backer will be considered to have fallen, and from now on, I will see how you can still be powerful on this Kanto Road. ”

"You fart!" Xiao Lie didn't have time to get angry, but Xing Hao started the fire first, and yelled at Sui Yi: "Master Cheng Liu in my family's imperial history, that is to handle the case impartially, and will never be mixed with any personal grievances." What's more, Lord Qin's charges have long been clearly investigated by a few of us, and now that he has been acquitted, there must be a lot of dirty things in it. You say that we are the most heinous people, and you are a thief crying out to catch a thief. ”

"Whether it is a thief shouting to catch a thief, you know best in your hearts. Now that my Lord Qin has been reinstated, I am also here as a guard of Yanmen. And the adults of my family have pity, seeing that the culprit Lord Liu has passed away, and I am not to blame for what you have done in the past. I hope you can see the reality clearly and not be taken advantage of by people with bad intentions. In the future, you have to behave yourself, if you will do such things in the future, my Lord Qin will not tolerate it. ”

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves not far away, and a soldier Ding Ze came to report: "Deputy Commander Shi, the chasing soldiers of the ghost army are only a few miles away from us, and they will catch up soon." ”

Xiao Lie hurriedly said to Sui Yi on the city tower: "Sui Yi, our personal grievances are put aside for the time being, the pursuers of this ghost army are about to arrive, you let us enter Yanmen Pass first, and after this war is over, we are dealing with these trivial matters." ”

"This pass can't be opened!" Sui Yi said to them majestically: "There is a decree of the saint, the town guard troops of my Yanmen Pass must not be dispatched easily, and they can only switch and support the Liaodu Guards in Guandong Province when they are in the most danger. But you haven't reached the most dangerous time yet, how can you tell me to switch it for you, if the Lord of Long Live blames it, I can't afford to take this responsibility. Besides, my Yanmen Pass is the first line of defense for this territory, and it must not be easily lost. Deputy Commander Xiao, little brother Xing Hao, how can you two be afraid of the pursuit of hundreds of people in this mere martial arts, I believe that you can retreat without help. Since you dare to attack the enemy camp at night, you must have a strategy for escaping. It's not that I don't want to help you, it's really hard to do. You two also weigh my difficulties, and I can't help it. ”

When Sui Yi was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly thought of something, and then returned to the edge of the city tower and said to Xiao Lie below: "But Deputy Commander Xiao can rest assured, I will never watch you fall into a desperate situation, I will let the archers make a plan for you, if you don't talk nonsense, the saint will not know, and he will not blame me." I can only help you here, the rest depends on your strength, take care, after the battle, I am asking you to drink together. "Sui Yi is really gone this time, no matter how Xiao Lie and Xing Hao are shouting, no one is making any response.

The noisy sound of horses' hooves was getting louder and closer, and it was already faintly visible that people were shaking their weapons. Xiao Lie called the rest of the people to his side, let them gather in a circle to listen to what he was going to say next, he said to these people: "Brothers, it seems that we are more than lucky today, I can't help you, I don't know the situation of Yanmen Pass in time and accurately, I will bring you into this desperate situation, I Xiao Lie can't repay this guilt in this life, and in the next life, if you still remember me, I will definitely repay you twice." ”

"We are willing to follow Deputy Commander Xiao to the death, even if the horse leather shroud has no complaints, we are born to be the people of the Zhenliao Guard, and we are the ghosts of the Zhenliao Guard, we can be brothers to Deputy Commander Xiao, we die without regrets!" Dozens of cavalrymen replied to Xiao Lie's words with a fierce momentum.

"Good brothers, they are all my good brothers, and being able to get along with you for a lifetime is definitely my Xiao Lie's great virtue in his last life. Brothers, if we can successfully escape this time, I must have a feast and get drunk with you. But once we have any accidents, with a few of you accompanying us on the Huangquan Road, I can also walk on the Huangquan Road with a swagger, and walk majestic. Xiao Lie slapped his horse forward, let the cavalry line up neatly behind him, shook the dragon sparrow blade in his hand and continued: "Brothers, follow me to kill all the ghosts who are chasing their lives, follow me, kill ......"

"Wait a minute......" Before Xiao Lie rushed up with the cavalry, Xing Hao grabbed Xiao Lie's horse reins and said to him: "Don't worry, I think of a way to escape." Xing Hao said and pointed a pear flower gun at a crooked path and continued: "This road has been walked by Master Liu a long time ago, and although it is a bit detour to go back to Crane City along here, it can bypass the barracks of the ghosts. Moreover, the road is relatively narrow, with high mountains on both sides, and this terrain can also be used as a barrier to stop the pursuers. I just don't know if there was an ambush on this road. ”

"The matter is urgent, and there is not so much time to think about what ambush or not ambush, this battle will be fought horizontally and vertically, it is better to take a risk and give it a try, but there is a glimmer of life and you can't give up lightly. ”

"Okay, then you guys hurry up, I'll stay at the back of the line and be responsible for the break. Xing Hao said.

Xiao Lie heard that Xing Hao was going to stay behind, and immediately retorted: "How can this be done, I promised Brother Nangong and your senior brother that I would bring you all back safe and sound, but now I see, it is impossible to bring you all back, I can only send you out of this danger first, you lead these people to go first, and I will break it off." ”

"Don't fight with me, let's just be such a person, whoever breaks it is the same. And your dragon sparrow blade has a large attack range, and if you encounter an ambush on this road, you can better fight a way out. ”

Xiao Lie was about to continue to refute, and a person came out of the cavalry and interrupted the conversation between the two of them: "Two adults, please go to the front." Before this trip, our brothers were ready to die, and now that the war is in full swing, how can we lose the main general at this most critical time. The safest way is for the two of you to go first, and our brother will hold the pursuers, as long as you can drag on, as long as you can return to Crane City, it will not cost our brothers' lives in vain. ”

"What are you talking about, that is, the general is responsible for the safety of the soldiers, and there is no such reason for me to pay for the lives of the soldiers for our safety. If your solution doesn't work, don't say it again. ”

Seeing that the ghost's chasing troops were about to reach the front, the cavalryman frowned and said: "The matter has come to this point, I can only disobey the order, Deputy Commander Shi, if I can return to Hecheng alive, you will punish me at that time." After speaking, he slapped Xiao Lie and Xing Hao's mounts a few times. The mount was in pain, raised its front hooves and kicked a few times, and then carried the two of them to the curvy path.

The soldier smiled contentedly when he saw this scene, and shouted to the remaining brothers behind him: "Brothers, we will definitely die in today's battle, we must try our best to buy more time for the two adults to escape, the safety of Kanto Province is all related to a few of us, and your and me's names will definitely be recorded in history and passed on forever." Brothers, kill me ......"

These dozens of cavalrymen were instantly drowned in the sea of people by the chasing soldiers of the ghosts, and by the time Xiao Lie and Xing Hao reduced the speed of the war horses under their crotches, they had already run a large distance. When he turned around, he saw that his brothers blocked the crossing with their bodies, and used their lives to buy time for the two of them.

Xiao Lie's eyes were red, and his voice trembled and roared: "Xing Hao, go back with me and save them." ”

Xing Hao wiped his tears, grabbed Xiao Lie's horse reins, patted his feet twice on the horse's belly, and continued to gallop in the direction of Hecheng. Xiao Lie yelled at Xing Hao, Xing Hao was not angry, his eyes looked forward and said to him: "There is no way, we can't save it, since this is the case, we can't let these people die in vain." They exchanged their lives for the two of us, so they can't live up to their blood, their revenge must be avenged, not only to kill all these ghosts, but I also want to use the head of the Sui Yi dog thief to sacrifice these dead souls. ”

Xiao Lie cried a few times, and saw that the two of them had run away and could no longer see everything that happened at the crossing, so he said viciously: "In addition to Sui Yi, there is also the dog thief surnamed Qin, Lord Liu's death is inseparable from him, since the state law can't punish him for capital crimes, then let's torture him outside the law, let him live a comfortable life for a few days." After doing these things, I must let him die a painful death, otherwise it will be difficult to appease the hatred in my heart. ”

The two of them ran for another distance, and vaguely saw a few people not far in front of them looking at them with a ghostly head, Xiao Lie stretched out the dragon sparrow blade and gritted his teeth and said: "Those who stand in the way, there is no forgiveness for killing!"
