Xiao Lie rode a horse with a group of people from the direction of Hecheng, waved his sword, and went straight to the famous Akiyama under the city gate. Akiyama Mingyu flashed sideways to the rushing war horse, and stabbed out a knife obliquely, Xiao Lie unhurriedly raised the knife to block, held down Akiyama Mingyou's sword, left the stirrup with both feet, and turned over to get off the war horse so that Akiyama Mingyu could fight in one place.

Zuo Tianming pushed the Zen staff horizontally and killed the sky and the earth, and its adults did not show weakness, in their eyes it was like a killing game, except for them, there was no living creature here, but all livestock, lambs to be slaughtered. Lord Liu sat on horseback and shouted loudly to Lord Qin, the soldier on the city tower, "Lord Qin, can you bear to watch our group of people exhausted, don't you plan to send a soldier and a general out to help?"

Hearing Lord Liu say this, Lord Qin suddenly felt a hot heat on his face. Immediately dispatched the team to pour out of the city, slashing the Dongying dwarf like meat on the board, and the battle lasted for more than an hour before it ended. Xiao Lie came to Lord Liu with a knife in one hand and the head of a famous person in Qiushan in one hand, threw the head to the ground, and said happily: "I finally killed this bastard, out of my heart, if it weren't for him, Xing Hao and I wouldn't have endured so many days of torture." Lord Liu, so many Dongying dwarfs have been slaughtered today, and from now on, there will only be a handful of widows on this Kanto Road, do we count this as a relief for the country?"

Master Liu pointed at Xiao Lie with his finger and said to Nangong Junzhe beside him: "This slippery head, he is asking me for credit." He turned his head to look at Xiao Lie: "Tell me what credit you are going to make, and when you return to the capital, I will ask His Majesty the Emperor for a reward." ”

Xiao Lie scratched his head and said with a smile: "I really can't hide anything from Lord Liu's eyes, so I'll say it directly." I have three things I would like to ask you to help us ask for instructions from the Lord of Long Life, the first is to ask for the merits of the heroes and martyrs who died in this battle, and I want His Majesty the Emperor to approve the construction of an ancestral hall for them in Hecheng, especially for the memorial tablets for them, and for the high-ranking officials and generals, we will also make clay statues to receive incense from the world. Second, I would like to ask you to allocate some foot soldiers to us in front of His Majesty the Emperor, for the losses in this battle are huge, and we will not be able to recruit so many soldiers for a moment. Third, I want you to tell you about the death and wounding in this battle, all of whom were killed and wounded in this battle, are the local soldiers and generals on my Kanto Road, and the relatives at home can rely on them without worry, so can you reduce the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes here for three years, and after three years, this land will be rich again, which will be beneficial to the country and the people. Lord Liu, you don't think I'm asking too much, right?"

"Of course it's not too much, I thought you were going to ask for a reward for yourself, but I didn't expect that none of your three requests were about your fame and fortune. Didn't you think you were going to order something?" asked Master Liu.

"I just want an innocence now, and when I enter the ice city and see Lord Qin, I will ask you, Lord Liu. Xiao Lie bowed deeply and said to Lord Liu.

Lord Liu stood with his hands in his hands and said to Xiao Lie and the people in Hecheng: "I must clarify your innocence, but if you want to ask Lord Qin for an explanation, it is impossible, we don't have the slightest evidence in our hands, so you can't blame me." ”

Yin Xuesong walked up to the front and said: "This is natural, and we also understand the relationship, as long as we can resolve Lord Qin's misunderstanding of us, it is enough, we have nothing else to ask for." ”

When a few people were talking, the battlefield had been cleared, and the soldiers found Lord Liu with the list, and after handing over the list to Lord Liu, he said to Lord Liu: "My lord, the battlefield has been cleaned, all the slaves on the three islands have been killed, and none of them have escaped. The names of the soldiers who died in this battle are recorded on it, so please take a look at them. ”

Lord Liu unfolded it, took a cursory look at the approximate number of people, and then said to Xiao Lie: "Judging from the list, the loss of Hecheng this time is the heaviest, and I will definitely get this loss back for you." It's okay here, let's hurry up and enter the city, don't let Lord Qin wait in a hurry. ”

Xiao Lie took the roster into his arms and complained to Lord Liu: "This soldier is really Lord Qin, and he doesn't say anything to greet your old man after the battle is over, he is really rampant." ”

Lord Liu didn't care: "They are all colleagues who are ministers of the same dynasty, and they are all dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor, it doesn't matter if I greet me or not, you don't have to take this kind of false courtesy to heart, if there are too many false courtesies, it will seem that people are much hypocritical." ”

"It can't be that he disregarded etiquette at such a time, I guess he didn't think about how to face you, so he didn't dare to come out to greet you in person. We just run errands, and we have to go to him ourselves, so there's really no place to reason. Xiao Lie kept complaining. Inadvertently, I saw Peng Fei sitting on the ground with tears on his face, as if he was tired of crying and was stunned. Sitting next to him, Zuo Tianming stroked Peng Fei's head with his hand and said to him: "What are you crying for, you haven't done anything wrong, what are you afraid of." Your father, Pavilion Master Peng, will not punish you, don't be afraid. Peng Fei didn't answer, just stunned.

Xiao Lie came over and asked about the situation, Zuo Tianming said: "Just now I saw him sitting on the ground crying, I thought this kid was injured, but when I asked, I realized that he was afraid that Peng Pavilion would punish him." He said that the owner of the Peng Pavilion would not let him kill people, and if he killed someone, he would not have the head to eat meat, because he couldn't eat meat, so he was crying here. I've been persuading him for a long time, but he's not good at all, you see he's stopped now, but he's actually tired of crying. ”

Xiao Lie also did it, and Peng Fei said to the stupid boy: "Who said that you killed someone, they just fell asleep, as if you want to change the head of the person before is a reason." Since you didn't kill anyone, your father has no reason to punish you, so you can continue to eat your flesh. ”

Hearing Xiao Lie say this, the stupid boy came to the spirit urn and said angrily: "Ah, really, I didn't kill anyone, then how can I hear someone say that if you kill them, none of them will live, I see that the people they killed are in the same state as the people I knocked down, and I thought I killed people too." If they don't die, then I have nothing to worry about, I was so sorry for my flesh just now, it would be pitiful if they couldn't be eaten by me. ”

The stupid boy's words made everyone laugh, Xiao Lie patted his ass and stood up: "Okay, let's go, go and meet this soldier Lord Qin, and see what kind of black and white reversal of right and wrong he can say." When he raised his leg and was about to get on the horse, Xing Hao ran to Yin Xuesong's side and said a few words to him, Yin Xuesong's face suddenly became extremely ugly, Xiao Lie had to come over and ask the reason, Yin Xuesong sighed and said to Xiao Lie: "Just now Xing Hao told me that among the fifty disciples of the Pear Flower Sect, a total of thirty-seven people were killed in battle, and five of them were seriously injured and could not bear this huge pain, so they understood it by themselves. ”

"Isn't that how to fight, we've seen a lot, this is fate. Besides, after you Pear Blossom Sect people die, the City God Yamen will directly hire them, and then they can be reincarnated, with such a good thing as a backing, what are you sad about. Xiao Lie comforted Yin Xuesong's shoulder.

"I'm just afraid that Master won't be able to accept it after seeing so many people die in battle. Yin Xuesong replied.

"Master Luo is an enlightened person, he should have been mentally prepared a long time ago, otherwise he would not send his disciples out. ”

"It's time to improvise, hopefully as you say. ”

"It has to be like this. ”

Yin Xuesong, Xiao Lie, Nangong Junzhe, and Zhao Haiquan followed Lord Liu to the General Soldier's Mansion in Bingcheng and found Lord Qin, the squire of the military department. As soon as the four of them entered the courtyard of the General Soldier's Mansion, Lord Qin and the General Soldier of Bingcheng greeted them warmly, and Lord Qin said to himself: "I'm sorry to pull Lord Liu, because there are a lot of things to deal with in the city, and I can't go out of the city in time to greet them, don't blame me." ”

Lord Liu also saluted: "The soldier has just experienced such a big war, there must be a lot of things to arrange in the ice city, I am a bad old man, if I don't take it, I won't take it, and I will do it myself." ”

The chief soldier of Bingcheng welcomed everyone to the living room, and gave the work of hanging his hands to Lord Liu and Lord Qin, and after he and Yin Xuesong sat down on the left and right, Lord Qin asked kindly: "Lord Liu, you have suffered, is it difficult for those bandits to be for you?"

Lord Liu replied with a smile: "It's hard for me to be embarrassed, they are still counting on me to give up the positions of Yin Xuesong and Xiao Lie to them, how can they do anything to me, they are reluctant." ”

"I also heard from my subordinates, you were not captured by Xiao Lie and them, but robbed by Liao Wenshan and a few people to Xiaoyaozhuang. At the beginning, I also misunderstood the history of the two conductors and the two deputy commanders of Hecheng, and if it wasn't for the timely arrival of the news, I am afraid that I would have made a big mistake and caused a big disaster. It's also that I'm so dazzled that I didn't find out that the information that the Indian commander Shi took you away is false. Lord Liu, you don't know, after hearing the news of your capture, I can't be anxious, for fear that something will happen to you, I'm not right, I didn't even ask Long Live Lord for instructions to take so many people to act without authorization. And I lost thousands of people, and I don't know what to do with His Majesty the Emperor after returning to the capital. "These few words, what Lord Qin said is true and false, and everyone here knows it. Even Lord Qin himself understood that no one believed him when he said this, but he couldn't say it, and he couldn't admit that he was the mastermind behind this matter, so he could only make up such a story casually in front of everyone's eyes and all of them.

His true words are the second half, he really doesn't know how to explain to His Majesty the Emperor now, originally thought that Lord Liu died unexpectedly, and His Majesty the Emperor would not blame him for leading troops without authorization. When he stood on the city tower and saw Lord Liu, who was alive and well, his brain was already messing around.

Lord Liu smiled and said to Lord Qin: "This matter is easy to do, you just need to listen to me, make sure you are fine, you have to say this to Long Live Lord!"
