Zhao Haiquan had just taken a few steps down the mountain, when a captain suddenly jumped in front of him, slashed with a knife, and when he saw that the knife was about to cut him, a coiling dragon stick flew from the air, directly penetrating the captain's chest. Then a big monk floated down, and recited the Buddha's name with his palms together: "Amitabha, donors, the poor monk has returned." ”

What happened between the lightning and flint made Shopkeeper Zhao at a loss, but Xiao Lie immediately came over and grabbed Zhen Xiu's arm: "Has the rescue arrived?"

"Not yet, I'll come back first, and Lord Chenghuang will arrive later. Lord Xiao Shi, why did you fall to such a point, and the bottle was recaptured?" Zhen Xiu found that the small barren mountain was tightly surrounded by thousands of officers and soldiers on the way back to Zhulin Dazhai, and each officer and soldier went to the top of the mountain to kill. When he saw that the shopkeeper Zhao was intercepted and killed by a captain when he went down the mountain, he threw a dragon stick in a hurry to save the life of the shopkeeper Zhao.

"Robbed is snatched back...... It's a long story, and I'll talk to you when we get out. Xiao Lie turned around and said to Zhao Haiquan: "Shopkeeper Zhao, I don't blame you for this, you must not be rash, fortunately Zhenxiu arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." We can't afford to lose anyone. ”

Zhao Haiquan hugged Zhen Xiu and Xiao Lie with a strong spirit: "Thanks to Master Zhen Xiu's rescue, Zhao's life was saved." I was really impulsive, I knew I was wrong, and I wasn't going to mess with everyone. ”

"Master Xiao, I just listened to what you said, could it be that something happened to someone?"

"Brother Bai Zhihe, Brother Bai Xian, is dead. ”

Zhen Xiu was also sad for a while, but fortunately, he was a monk, and he had long been downset about life and death, so he immediately came back to his senses and asked Xiao Lie: "What are your plans next?"

"Waiting for reinforcements, if the reinforcements don't arrive, we won't be able to break out of the encirclement. Now we can only rely on these stones and wood to resist, and for now we can resist for as long as we can, otherwise there is no other way. Xiao Lie is anxious, he is not afraid of death, but he is worried that there will be any accidents to these people around him.

Looking at the other people, they were exhausted and embarrassed. Zhen Xiu asked while throwing a log down the mountain: "Where is Cui Sanshi now? Capture the thief and capture the king first, if we can directly kill Cui Sanshi now, we will already have a big victory, and they will naturally give up the pursuit." ”

"Cui Sanshi should be in the prefect's yamen now, and when he snatched the bottle, he failed to bring him to justice, so he landed in such a realm. Yin Xuesong answered Zhen Xiu's question.

When the last stone on the mountain was thrown down by Xu Huanxin, everyone took out their weapons one after another, preparing to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers. Seeing that nothing was being thrown down, the officers and men all came to their senses, and one by one they rushed to the top of the mountain like wolves and tigers, and eight people brandished weapons and fought with the officers and soldiers. After days of rushing and days of fighting, these eight people were already at the end of their crossbows, although they could still resist the attack for the time being, it could be seen from the number of officers and soldiers who poured up that their physical strength had reached the limit. The shouts of killing were mixed with an out of place.

"If you want to live, get out of the way of grandpa, you stinky and shameless, you actually attacked me, look at the Zen staff. A person and a Zen staff stirred up the people halfway up the mountain: "Brother Xiao, I'm back, I brought Master Liu from the Imperial History." ”

Looking along the sound, I saw the flag fluttering under the mountain, the horn was repeated, and a big Liu character on the flag was majestic.

Xiao Lie shouted to the people halfway up the mountain: "Tianming, use the five thunder talismans to blow us up, quick!"

Zuo Tianming agreed, followed by sixteen five thunder talismans, after the lightning and thunder, a bloody road appeared, and then look at the officers and soldiers on both sides, those who were not killed were lying on the ground wailing, and those who were not injured were a little farther away saw this situation and did not have the courage to fight, and some even threw away their weapons and ran away. Zuo Tianming admired his performance just now, and he was a little unsatisfied, he took out ten more five thunder talismans from his arms, and was just about to hit them when he was stopped by Xiao Lie: "Okay, since they ran away, you don't need to kill them all, keep the talismans, and you can use them next time." ”

Lord Liu's team smashed the soldiers who had surrounded the small barren mountain to pieces, and Lord Liu's arrival made the situation on the battlefield better. There were a few stubborn elements that they easily dealt with, and the remaining fleeing soldiers did not pursue them, and let them flee for their lives.

Nine people came to the foot of the mountain, and after meeting Lord Liu and Shaoqing of Dali Temple, they briefly explained the situation here.

Lord Liu saw that they were all covered in blood-stained robes, and couldn't help but admire: "Just because the eight of you have resisted thousands of well-trained sergeants for such a long time, it can really be described as extremely brave, and it is estimated that even that Chang Yuchun will be ashamed of himself." After saying that, he ordered the sergeant to set up camp on the spot, and ordered the military doctor to bandage the wounds of these people.

In the yamen of the prefect of the capital city, the prefect said to Cui Sanshi: "I heard the sergeant who came back just now that Liu Bowen came with the army, and he came, presumably the emperor also knew about it, how is this good, how is it good." The prefect was scared, and from the words he heard, the prefect's nerves probably wouldn't last long before they collapsed. Cui Sanshi walked to the prefect's side, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be afraid, how much of a storm can a fortune teller make, don't forget that we still have ghost pawns in the underworld, let the soldiers of the prefect attack them during the day, and let the ghost pawns kill them at night, I don't believe it, are they all gods, can they fight without eating or sleeping?"

"That's right, but what if we fail? Can the emperor easily bypass us?" From the meaning of the prefect's words, Cui Sanshi heard that he had the intention of surrendering, and silently took out a dagger from his arms, the prefect had already occupied all his nerves with fear, and he didn't see Cui Sanshi beside him actually want to use a knife against him. Cui Sanshi still smiled and said to the prefect: "Since your brother is afraid, then I won't bother you, you can run away." ”

"Really?" the prefect thought he had misheard, and blurted out a question.

When he looked at Cui Sanshi, he was no longer smiling, but with a full face of contempt and anger, and the prefect saw the dagger in Cui Sanshi's hand at this time, and raised his hand to Cui Sanshi Just as he was about to speak, Cui Sanshi's dagger sank into his chest.

"You're a fuck, I'm telling you now, you're really dead. After saying this viciously, he pulled out his dagger and pushed the prefect to the ground. The prefect struggled on the ground a few times, and died without saying a word.

Cui Sanshi returned to his seat and called someone over: "You go down to the yin well and tell the people in the underworld that they will attack Liu Bowen's army at night tonight." Also, I'm calling two people to come over and carry this stupid* away, it's too much of an eyesore to lie here. The man went out to run errands as Cui Sanshi instructed. He sat on the chair and muttered to himself: "Fuck, a stinky beggar can be an emperor, I'm a thousand times fucking stronger than him, why can't this emperor be me? This is what they forced me to do, I will kill this poor fortune teller first and give this stinky begging for food a greeting gift, and then I will go and rob him of the throne." Cui Sanshi thought about his plan, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but scream a few times, scaring the people outside the door.

On the top of Liu Junzhai's palace, Lord Liu called Xiao Lie and a few people over, and carefully inquired about what happened before. Xiao Lie and the others, you and I have told you all the things that have happened.

Lord Liu pondered carefully for a moment and said to everyone: "It seems that the first battle of Yudu is inevitable, have you thought of a countermeasure?"

Yin Xuesong replied respectfully: "In front of Lord Liu, I and other juniors don't dare to get an axe, and we all listen to Lord Liu's dispatch." ”

"We are also communicating with each other, I know how to fight, but although I know a little about the affairs of this underworld, I can't do anything about how to deal with them. "Lord Liu is not modest, he really doesn't understand, don't look at him as a good hand at arranging troops on the battlefield, but he is really inferior to a few of them in this regard.

"Lord Liu, then I'm welcome. I think so, the aura of several of us has been depleted, and we need to rest and recuperate immediately, and when the City God of Snow City comes, we can find out the rebellion of the underworld. The only thing I'm afraid of is that Cui Sanshi will come to steal the camp tonight, so he can let Zuo Tianming keep vigil, and now he is the only one who has plenty of aura, once he finds out that they have come to steal the camp, call us immediately, and there will be no big mess. Xiao Lie said modestly.

"Okay, just do as you say, I didn't expect that at such an age, my thinking is so agile, I really can't say that I am young and promising. Lord Liu praised: "Okay, there's nothing to do, you can go and rest, there is still a big battle to fight under the conditioning of your body." ”

Several people got up to say goodbye and went to rest, and Lord Liu continued to arrange the affairs of the military camp.

Xiao Lie called Zuo Tianming to his tent and said to Zuo Tianming: "I found a problem, if I fall asleep, it will be difficult to be woken up, if something happens at night, you can whip me hard or shake me." ”

"Then you're welcome. Zuo Tianming smiled evilly.

"I'm going to use my luck to adjust my qi, you have to pay strict attention, don't make any mistakes, if something goes wrong with Lord Liu, we have to go around if we can't eat." Xiao Lie looked serious.

"Hmm. Good. I remembered. Rest quickly, leave it to me, you can rest assured, there will be no problem. Zuo Tianming patted his chest and assured Xiao Lie.

After a few more words, Xiao Lie began to exercise and adjust his qi, Zuo Tianming walked out of the tent to find an open space, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

In the city of Xudu, Cui Sanshi said to the ghost general from the underworld: "Tonight, I will let them die without a place to be buried." ”
