Xie Tong and the others were mixed in the rout, and walked out of Hangzhou City from the south gate.

Hong Shan said, "Brother Hitomi, what should we do now!"

Xie Tong said, "There is no other way but to follow the trail of Huang Chao and wait for Lord Wang's reinforcements." ”

Several people followed the vast number of horseshoe prints and chased after them.

The route of Huangchao's retreat seems to have been prepared, and the route went straight to Shaoxing, but Shaoxing could not be used as a fortified city to resist the attack of the Tang army.

Xie Tong and the others had been following behind the Huang Chao troops, keeping a distance, and because the enemy troops retreated in a hurry, no one cared if anyone was chasing after them.

After two days of marching, the enemy army arrived in Shaoxing, but instead of entering the city, they set up camp here.

After two days of hurried chase, Xie Tong and the others were fine, but Hong Shan couldn't bear it, she was almost exhausted and collapsed, and Xie Tong walked the last few miles on his back.

The three of them lurked in a dense forest to the east of the enemy army, not daring to make a fire to cook, but just gnawing on some dry food.

The elite of the enemy army, they never dared to have any ideas, they could only wait for reinforcements.

The enemy's camp tent is arranged very scientifically, from north to south in the shape of an awl, and the location is also excellent, with a dense forest in the east and a city in the west.

Because it was noon, the weather was extremely hot, Hong Shan really couldn't stand it, she leaned against a big tree and squinted, Yi Wuxing also learned from Hong Shan's appearance, and slept with clothes.

Xie Tong didn't rest, he sat cross-legged on the ground, silently controlling the circulation of true qi in his body, on the one hand, he was cultivating internal force, and on the other hand, he released his spiritual sense and observed the changes in things nearby.

After dusk. A large number of cavalry appeared on the northern plains, all light cavalry. Disrupted the sweet dreams of several people. Xie Tong raised his eyes and saw that it was Sima Xiangru's middle route army. There are more than 30,000 people, but the banner is actually the handsome banner of Li Zhaorun, the king of Huai, Xie Tong directly understood, Li Zhaorun didn't want to make a big difference, and led his troops to come in person, he was very likely to regard the Huangchao army as a scattered army, if this is the case, he will definitely suffer a big loss.

Li Zhaorun sat majestically on a tall horse and saw the camp tents distributed by the enemy. He didn't even have to rectify it, so he laughed loudly and said, "Soldiers, the traitor Huang Chao is right in front of you, kill me! Those who capture Huang Chao alive will be rewarded with the first two gold!"

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the cavalry of the Tang Army rushed over, and the shouts of killing suddenly resounded throughout the forest.

Yi Wudaunt sighed, "What a fool, Lao Tzu can't understand why the Holy Lord used such a waste as the commander of the three armies." ”

Xie Tong shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I'm going to ask the Son of Heaven about this, it's time for us to appear." Several people sneaked out of the dense forest. Quietly approached the enemy camp.

The Tang army's shouting of killing had already aroused the vigilance of the enemy, and Zhu Wen seemed to have expected all this, and in the face of the Tang army, which had a large number of troops, the enemy obviously did not panic. They arranged their formation in an orderly manner and watched the Tang army rush over from far and near.

"Shoot arrows," the herald shouted, "rows of arrows rained up into the sky and shot straight towards the cavalry of the Tang army. When the people climbed on their backs, there were countless arrows. The enemy forces were clearly prepared.

The death of the soldiers did not make the Tang army frightened, and the temptation of heavy money made everyone crazy. As soon as I thought of the Yellow Nest, I was in the big camp in front of me. The soldiers were like wild beasts, not afraid of the enemy's arrow rain, and on the corpses of countless comrades, the Tang army finally broke through the obstacles and handed over to the enemy in one place.

Xie Tong and the others climbed over the wooden fence of the camp tent and went straight to the handsome camp of Huangchao. The handsome camp of Huangchao is very eye-catching, and a big flag as high as three zhang stands in front of the camp, with the king character of Douda written on it.

The guards found Xie Tong and the others, and rushed up without saying anything.

Yi Wuxing pulled out his twin swords and rushed to the front, cutting down several enemy soldiers in an instant, while Hong Shan and Xie Tong followed behind him, and several people slowly pushed forward. After dealing with more than 20 officers and soldiers, they have arrived in front of the handsome camp of Huangchao.

Relying on the superiority in numbers, the Tang army soon broke through the enemy's defensive line and stormed the camp. Xie Tong could clearly hear the sound of swords colliding not far away.

The curtain tent of the handsome camp was lifted, and a person walked out of the self-operated tent - Zhu Wen.

Xie Tong waved his hand and signaled everyone not to act rashly.

Zhu Wen's gaze glanced at everyone, as if he didn't see them, and said, "Don't worry about a few of them, go to the front to resist the enemy army."

After receiving the order, the officers and soldiers ignored the crowd and rushed straight to the front.

Zhu Wen turned around and wanted to return to the tent, but Xie Tong suddenly stopped him.

Xie Tong said, "Zhu Wen, where is Huang Chao!"

Zhu Wen turned around and snorted coldly, "Xie Tong, it's none of your business, if you leave now, you can still have your life to live, it's too late, Heavenly King Lao Tzu can't save you!"

Xie Tong sneered, "What, do you still want to repeat the burning of Jiankang? The invincible division of the Tang Army has already entered the camp, and the righteous army is about to be destroyed."

"Haha", Zhu Wen laughed wildly, is it similar to Li Zhaorun and Sima Xiangru on the other side? The old man will let you see, what is called turning the tide, and what is called closing the door and beating the dog. With a flick of his right hand, a rocket soared into the air, turning into beautiful fireworks in the air.

It's the same firework again, the fireworks last time plunged Jiankang City into a sea of fire, what will this fireworks arrow bring! Xie Tong is not sure, and he doesn't dare to think about it, Zhu Wen's strange ideas and endless methods are something he can't see through, if there is only one person in the world who can make him feel frightened, then this person is Zhu Wen.

With the passing of the fireworks, from Shaoxing City came the sound of horses' hooves endlessly, judging by the sound alone, there were tens of thousands of people, the cavalry outflanked the Tang army from the flank, and the Tang army was cut into two ends when he landed, and the Tang army was killed by surprise, and there was a big chaos when he landed.

Li Zhaorun was frightened and ran straight to the side of the dense forest, he never imagined that the enemy army was so violent.

Zhu Wen smiled and said, "See, this is your so-called invincible army, in my opinion, it's a joke!"

Xie Tong took advantage of his wild laughter, lifted the curtain of the camp, swept his gaze towards the camp tent, and stood on the spot.

The tent was empty.

He finally understood that this was Zhu Wen's plan to make the golden cicada come out of its shell, and Huang Chao must have left halfway. Leave Zhu Wen as a cover to lure the Tang army to attack. And he can escape calmly.

Xie Tong glared at Zhu Wen angrily and said, "Tell me." Where is the Yellow Nest".

Zhu Wen saw that the plan was exposed, and he didn't insist, he said unhurriedly, "The King of Heaven is already on his way to Guangzhou, and you can't catch up even if you have wings."

Yi Wuxing snorted coldly, "As long as it is on the land of the Tang Empire, he will inevitably die, even if he goes to Guangzhou."

Zhu Wen's pair of fierce eyes shot straight towards Yi Wuxing, and there was a slight killing intent in his eyes, and Yi Wuxing met his gaze without fear, without the slightest fear.

Hong Shan said softly: "Mr. Zhu is a good plan. Although Guangzhou is nominally the land of the empire, in the past few decades, the empire has declined, and the jurisdiction over the border has lost the prestige of the heyday, and the city of Guangzhou has been occupied by foreign merchants such as Arabs and Persians, who have formed armies and do whatever they want, and the empire has no ability to contain this situation. Mr. chose to retreat to Guangzhou, which was indeed a clever plan. In this way, the flame of the rebels can be preserved, and it is indeed prescient."

Since his debut, Zhu Wen has always been known for his domineering. No one has ever dared to compete with him, not even His Holiness Dato, who has to give three points. Now that he is fearless, he is not afraid of him at all, and young people can be so arrogant. really made him admire. Seeing Hong Shan exposing his thoughts, he suddenly had a feeling that it was hard to find a soulmate.

He put away his fierce momentum. "Xie Tong, if you can have such two people to help each other, why worry about big things." Excellent!"

Xie Tong ignored his words and continued, "Where is Cai Wei!"

Zhu Wen smiled: "Cai Wei is also on the way south now."

Before the words fell, I only heard an extremely familiar voice coming from a distance, "Master, master, the King of Heaven asks you to leave quickly, the reinforcements of the Tang Army have arrived."

Xie Tong was overjoyed in his heart, he looked back, and saw Shang Caiwei rushing over from a distance.

Zhu Wen was stunned and said, "Why do you want to come back!"

Shang Caiwei said, "For the sake of the national righteousness, the master is alone in the palace, how can Caiwei let the master take danger alone, why does the master deceive the apprentice, the tired apprentice ran so far."

The Tang army's shouts of killing were rising, and a force rushed out of the dense forest in the east, holding up torches, and looked at it fiercely, tens of thousands.

She walked to the front of the tent, saw Xie Tong, and glared fiercely.

Zhu Wen closed his eyes, and after a long while, he said, "Xie Tong, the rout of the rebel army this time is all caused by you, very good, you are an admirable opponent." ”

Xie Tong was speechless, and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhu!"

Shang Caiwei said, "Master, don't talk nonsense with him, it's too late if you don't leave, the Tang army has already killed you."

Zhu Wen continued, "Listening to you call me big brother, it seems that when I returned to Yangzhou, you and I met for the first time." Hey, it's so kind, okay, I'm leaving, you brought Cai Wei to Jiangnan, so you can take it back! I don't want her to follow me to Guangzhou to suffer."

Shang Caiwei cried, "Master, are you going to abandon Caiwei? No, I will follow you no matter what!"

Zhu Wen made a lightning shot, connecting Shang Caiwei's several acupoints, and she fell unconscious.

Xie Tong stepped forward to hug her and said, "Big brother, I know that you are ambitious, but if you fail the trip to Guangzhou, you can go to Chang'an or Luoyang to find me, and the younger brother will definitely meet you." ”

Zhu Wen laughed and said, "Make good use of your resources!" Yi Wuxing is an iron-clad man, and Miss Hong Shan is a wise and virtuous helper, I hope that one day, they can help you fulfill your master's dream, I'm leaving!"

In the face of Zhu Wen's pertinent evaluation, Yi Wuxing and Hong Shan were full of admiration for him.

The three watched Zhu Wen disappear into the night.

Xie Tong picked up Cai Wei, and the three of them rushed out of the enemy's camp and ran straight to the east.

The three of them bumped into Lao Lai and Huo Zixin head-on, and the two of them rode out of the woods, with a dense pile of torches behind them!

Lao Lai saw Xie Tong hugging Shang Caiwei, and said with concern, "You guys are safe!"

Xie Tong nodded.

Huo Zixin hurriedly said, "It's okay, what are you doing in a daze." Go catch the Yellow Nest!"

Xie Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Zhu Wen made the golden cicada's plan to get out of its shell, and Huang Chao and the others have already left first", and after that, he briefly recounted Zhu Wen's words!

Huo Zixin inserted the Mu Feng sword back into the scabbard, and said, "It is worthy of the person I Huo Zixin admires, even if you lose, you will lose with a chic brilliance, hey, since there is no possibility of meritorious service, what are we doing here, go back to the barracks and rest comfortably!"

It was not easy for a few people to walk against the army, so they had to find a clearing in the forest to rest.

Everyone flocked to the small tent of the enemy army like crazy, and the forest fell silent.

Yi Wuxing told Zhu Wen about it, and Huo Zixin, who listened to it, was surging and excited.

Suddenly, a cry for help came from deep in the forest, from far and near.

Several people immediately became alert, it stands to reason that now that the battle is in the big battalion, how could this happen.

Xie Tong followed the prestige, only to see a huge black shadow rushing towards this side, shouting for help while running, Xie Tong was stunned, this voice was extremely familiar, it was Li Zhaorun, the king of Huai. Who was so bold to assassinate the commander of the three armies.

Li Zhaorun's fat body staggered over, and before it was exhausted, Xie Tong sensed that there were five or six figures in the depths of the forest, rushing towards this side, and with the sense of breath, the internal force cultivation was very high.

Xie Tong shouted loudly, "What a bold man, he dares to assassinate the prince!"

There was a sneer in the forest, and suddenly there was a sound of breaking the sky, Xie Tong secretly screamed that it was not good, and just as he wanted to rush up, a bamboo sword had already flown like lightning, directly penetrating the back of Li Zhaorun's neck, and the tip of the sword came out of his throat.

Li Zhaorun didn't snort, he fell straight down, Xie Tong ran up and helped him up, blood kept spilling out of his mouth, and he couldn't say a word with his hands in his throat.

Huo Zixin and Yi Wuxing rushed over to the sound of arrows, trying to find the murderer who killed the prince.

Xie Tong looked at Li Zhaorun, who had more breath and less breath, and said, "Lord Wang, I'm Xie Tong, tell me, who did this!"

Li Zhaorun's eyes widened, and he looked at Xie Tong in fear, but he couldn't say a word, he stretched out four fingers, and before he could say a word, he was already dead.

Yi Wudauntless and the two didn't dare to chase deeply, and came back after a while, "The assassin retreated quickly, and even saw a trace, how is the prince!"

Xie Tong said, "The prince has returned to the west!"

Yi Wudaunt said, "It's not good, we must leave this place immediately, otherwise we will be regarded as the murderer of the prince."

Xie Tong knew that Yi Wuxing's words were very reasonable, and several people did not hesitate, and left this dense forest like a fly. (To be continued.) )
