After the discussion, Wu Jie and the other Song generals said goodbye first, and everyone in the Blood Knife Fort closed the door and discussed their own affairs. Gu Yao choked up and recounted, and when he heard that Lu Yi was poisoned, the heroes were shocked and grief-stricken. Luo Tianchu took the case and said: "The lord of the castle is under siege, and now life and death are uncertain, we will go back immediately to quell the chaos and save people, what do you think." Gongsun Mingyue said: "What the castle lord said is extremely true, but the Blood Knife Fort is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so we will go back recklessly, for fear of the iron cold treacherous scheme." Luo Tianchu said: "I can't take care of it so much, it's important to save people, Gongsun Junshi, Lu Tang Master, Zhao Tang Master, Gu Zhai Master, Xiao Zhu, Yan Weifeng followed me to lead the cavalry first, and the others escorted the supplies on foot, as well as the two bastards who were Wang Renxiao and Qiu Lihai." The five people named should say yes in unison, which made Xue'er cry: "I'm going too, I must go to save Daddy." Luo Tianchu said, "Okay! You follow me." He thought to himself that the lord of the castle was only afraid of bad luck, and it was best to let their father and daughter see each other one last time.

They ordered 3,000 cavalry, went out of the south gate, and before leaving, Luo Tianchu said to Du Shu: "I don't have time to say goodbye to Wu Jingluo, please ask Brother Du to convey his apologies for me." Du Kill said: "The subordinates receive the order." "Three thousand cavalry galloped all night, and at dawn the next day, they suddenly saw a carriage coming on, and it was Chu Laike who drove the car. It turned out that when they went down the mountain, they found a carriage in the Yellow River Village, which was used by Dongguo Wendao when he picked You Jingyao back to the mountain a year ago. Chu Laike found two horse-drawn carriages, let You Jingyao, Jia Yinyang, and Dangu sit in, and he personally drove the car. Chu Laike was afraid of the bumpy mountain road, so he didn't dare to drive the horse too fast, so he walked slowly, which was slower than Gu Yao and the others.

Everyone knew that Chu Laike was a friend rather than an enemy, Luo Tianchu stepped forward and said: "I have seen the Chu City Lord, and the younger generation has something to inquire about" Chu Laike said: "You came just in time, we are about to go to the monk Yuan to find you." Luo Tianchu said: "Is there anyone else in the car?" As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Yinyang jumped out of the car, put the stool on the ground, and Dangu helped You Jingyao get out of the carriage.

Ling Xue'er pounced happily and cried: "Mother, are you okay, scared me to death." You Jingyao squeezed her face and said, "It's okay, oops, don't hug it too tightly, there is still one in my mother's belly." Ling Xue'er smiled: "Oops, I forgot." Zhu Yushi kowtowed in front of Jia Yinyang and said, "Apprentice to meet the master, oh...... And Mrs. Dangu snorted and said, "Who is your master?" Jia Yinyang said: "I am his master, you are my wife, what are you not a master?" Dan Gu blushed and snorted: "Old shameless, who is your wife." Then he turned and left, but he did not leave, but stood far away.

After the heroes met You Jingyao and others. Luo Tianchu said: "I don't know where the castle lord is now?" His question was suddenly silent, You Jingyao closed her eyes and let out a long breath, as if she didn't want people to see the pain in her heart, and said, "City Lord Chu, please tell everyone." Chu Laike nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you." He took out a black sheath scimitar from behind his waist, handed it to Luo Tianchu and said, "Brother Ling said to give it to you." Luo Tianchu took the blood knife, his heart sank suddenly, and he secretly felt bad, and said, "Where is the master of the castle." Chu Laike sighed: "Brother Ling has ...... Passed away. ”

His voice was not loud, but the heroes of the Blood Knife Fort were like five thunderbolts, no one spoke for a long time, Zhao Hengshan was the first to roar: "Nonsense, whoever dies will not die!" Lu Fei, who had always been calm, also had his head clouded, shook his head and muttered: "Impossible, this is impossible!" Gu Yao gritted his teeth and said: "I must have been forced to death by them, I swear that the gold thief will not be compatible!" Ling Xue'er only felt top-heavy, her eyes were dark, and she fainted. Luo Tianchu picked her up and handed her over to Yan Weifeng to take care of, the sadness in his heart was no less than that of others, but he still kept calm and said, "Please tell the city lord about it." Chu Laike nodded, and began to narrate the story, how Ling Junlai fought against the four masters, and how he was forced to use the "sacrificial knife", which caused the muscles and veins to be broken, and he returned to the sky countless times, and finally committed suicide by jumping off the cliff. The heroes cried bitterly when they heard this. Chu Laike finally said: "Brother Ling has a few words to tell the new castle master. Luo Tianchu wiped his tears and said, "City Lord, please speak." Chu Laike said: "Brother Ling ordered you to do your best to carry forward the Blood Knife Castle, and please treat Miss Xue'er well, he will pray for you in the sky." Luo Tianchu finally couldn't help crying, knelt on the ground and looked up at the sky, and said, "Luo Tianchu will never live up to the trust of the castle lord!" Chu Laike sighed: "Brother Ling has finished the things he told me, and I have left you." You Jingyao nodded and said, "Thank you." Chu Laike glanced at her meaningfully and said, "Yes, brother and sister take care." ”

The heroes all saluted Chu Laike, and Zhao Hengshan said loudly: "Sprinkle the family's rough words, I just collided with the city lord, I hope you will forgive me." Chu Laike smiled and said, "Brother Zhao doesn't have to care. Luo Tianchu said: "The city lord has a great favor to my fort, please accept the worship of the juniors." Chu Laike said: "Lord Luobao doesn't need to be polite, if you have a chance in the future, you are welcome to come to Huangsha City to meet." So saying, he took a horse, flew on the horse, hugged his fists, and rode away.

Everyone continued on the road with a heavy heart, and on the way Xue'er woke up, she still cried bitterly, no one persuaded her, and she cried for two days in a row, and her eyes were swollen and high.

On the third day, they returned to the Blood Knife Castle, and Luo Tianchu asked three hundred soldiers to drive the captured three thousand war horses to the grassland on the northern slope of Zulong Mountain to build stables, and the others climbed Zulong Mountain under the leadership of Luo Tianchu. The 10,000 soldiers on the mountain gathered in the Yellow River, locked the demons, and the three camps of the gods were looking forward to welcoming the new castle master, and they were all worried in their hearts, for fear that Luo Tianchu would be angry and surrender. I was relieved when I saw him in person. Luo Tianchu smiled, and frequently saluted the soldiers, and the soldiers knew that he had annihilated 90,000 gold soldiers, and such an impressive record not only did not make him complacent, but was more modest and polite, and they all respected him.

According to Lu Yi's last order, when passing by the Black Rain Hall, Luo Tianchu asked the soldiers to dig out his coffin and carry it to Qingfeng Cliff to be buried next to the tombs of Jiang Feiyan and Zhong Yuanpeng. The heroes bowed respectfully three times before continuing to go up the mountain.

The corpses on the Tuotian Ridge were all cleaned up by the soldiers, except for one corpse, which was left untouched and left to the scorching sun. The group of heroes walked in to take a look, and saw that the corpse was Tie Han, Gu Yao spit on his face, and said fiercely: "If it weren't for this trouble, the castle lord and the Lu Zhai lord would not have died." Luo Tianchu sighed: "The deceased is gone, there is no need to insult his skin." Brother Eagle didn't know about his death yet, and if he saw his fate so miserable, his mood can be imagined. For the sake of Iron Eagle, let's bury him. "Now that Luo Tian is the lord of the castle, what he says is an order. Several soldiers carried Tie Han's body to the forest far away and buried it, without even a coffin. Luo Tianchu knew that everyone was in a low mood, especially Ling Junlai's death, which dealt the biggest blow to the Blood Knife Castle, and the most important thing at the moment was to reunite the morale. He asked everyone to go back to rest first, and then gathered to discuss matters after the personnel arrived. (To be continued.) )
