Lei Jingzhe didn't dare to raise his arrow, and couldn't dodge in a hurry, so he could only block it with his sword. The arrow hit the blade with a "buzz" sound, which made one of Lei Jingzhe's arms numb. He made a prompt decision and rode over directly.

Zhou Gui was about to lead his men to rush into the city gate.

"Close the door quickly——!" Zhou Gui was knocked to the ground. Regardless of his embarrassment, he held up his robe and shouted at the city general.

Several city generals pressed their shoulders together, shouted in unison, and pushed the city gate toward the center to close it. Lei Jingzhe's horse was faster, and when his horse arrived, his sword also arrived, and he took the lead in cutting down the city general who pushed the city gate.

He was about to drive straight in and occupy Cizhou. At the critical moment, Lei Jingzhe felt a chill in the back of his head. He suddenly lowered his upper body, then sank on his horse, and climbed onto a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old.

Ding Tao's palm struck at Lei Jingzhe's neck. Lei Jingzhe dodged sideways, holding the handle of the knife, and stabbed Ding Tao's chest and abdomen with his backhand. Ding Tao grabbed the saddle and slid down, avoiding the blade. His feet touched

On the ground, he followed the galloping horse for a few seconds, and then climbed up again with the help of his arms.

"Hey!" Ding Tao grabbed Lei Jingzhe's arm, raised his hand and flicked a stroke of ink on Lei Jingzhe's face when he looked back.

Lei Jingzhe never expected that the young man who came to the rescue had such a move. His eyes were splashed by the ink, and he couldn't see his surroundings immediately. But his ears were amazing, and he touched Ding Tao's eyes at the moment of Ding Tao's sneak attack.

After several rounds of confrontation, he dragged Ding Tao by his collar, and then flipped Ding Tao off his horse.

Ding Tao fell heavily to the ground, and his back was sore. He shouted in pain, but before he could finish shouting, he was faced with a horse's hoof. Ding Tao quickly rolled to avoid it, but his back was exposed when he rolled.

Lei Jingzhe's eyes.

Don't miss this opportunity!

Lei Jingzhe immediately threw the steel knife.

Ding Tao wanted to hide, but his ankles were dragged by the bandits chasing behind him. His whole body was forced to lie down in the muddy water, with his arms supporting the ground. He tried to lift his body, but was dragged down again. Then

The steel knife had already reached behind, and Ding Tao's face was covered with dirt. He gritted his teeth and straightened up his upper body, shouting into the city: "Open the south gate, reinforcements are here!"

Lei Jingzhe cursed angrily, but saw that the thrown steel knife was intercepted by an extremely narrow scabbard, and then was thrown out and nailed to the ground.

Ding Tao was still in shock. When he looked back, he saw that the bandit who had just grabbed his ankle had his head missing and was completely dead. He immediately got up, jumped several times in succession, and his head popped out from behind Shen Zechuan and said to Lei Jingzhe: "

You are dead!"

The city gate has been closed. Lei Jingzhe and his people crowded at the entrance of the horse road, but they were blocked. He knew who this person was. The white hair all over his body was exposed under the cloak. It was the person who had never changed it after leaving the capital.

The color of rain fell. Lei Jingzhe's horse took a few steps back, but in the next moment, he raised his whip and ran straight into it. Shen Zechuan tore off his cloak and threw it into Ding Tao's arms. Lang Tao Xuejin raised his hooves and climbed up. The wind blew up.

In the meantime, the snow in Yangshan has come out of its sheath.

Lei Jingzhe's sword was out of hand. Before he collided with Shen Zechuan, he casually pulled out his subordinate's sword. The horse's neighing was like a horn, and the two strong forces collided between the blades. The blades screamed in unison, piercing people.

Terrified.

Lei Jingzhe met a completely different opponent than before. His terrifying strength seemed to plunge into the water. No matter how strong his sword was, it would be pushed away by the water-like softness and become invisible. He

The harder he worked, the more he seemed to be led by Shen Zechuan, gradually falling into a vicious circle that he could not escape no matter what.

Lei Jingzhe was very shrewd. He held the knife and pushed, pretending to attack fiercely, but turned around and ran away in the next moment.

Today's opportunity was lost. Ding Tao just shouted "reinforcements have arrived", which made Lei Jingzhe want to retreat. His men and horses were obviously surrounded by Xiao Chiye. If he didn't retreat urgently, he would insist on retreating. If you stay to attack the city, you will be surrounded by enemies on all sides and will not be able to survive for a few days!

"Retreat!" Lei Jingzhe took the lead in turning his horse to the southeast.

Shen Zechuan did not pursue him. Xiao Chiye, who was still in the east, jumped on his horse and led his men in hot pursuit behind Lei Jingzhe. Lei Jingzhe hit his horse and galloped away. Looking back in the bumps, he pointed at Xiao Chiye from a distance, and then at Shen Ze. Sichuan, shouted ferociously: "Let's meet again tomorrow!"

The bandits don't wear armor and are faster. They are good at escaping. They all rush back into the forest without paying attention to the formation. In the blink of an eye, they turn into birds and beasts and disperse, shouting and disappearing into the grass.

Xiao Chiye raised the Overlord Bow again. The sound of the powerful bow weighing a hundred kilograms when it was drawn was frightening. Xiao Chiye stared at Lei Jingzhe's back. Seeing that Lei Jingzhe was about to rush into the forest, he Still no intention of shooting an arrow.

He turned sharply and fell straight down. He threw himself in front of Lei Jingzhe with a cry, and hooked his sharp claws into Lei Jingzhe's eyes. Lei Jingzhe had a bad idea, so he was forced to slow down his running, waved his hands to cover his face, and turned around to avoid. At this moment, Xiao Chiye, who was behind him, released his fingers. The arrow was like the golden glow of the scorching sun, and the afterimage was dragged behind by the wind. With just one breath, it had already arrived in front of Lei Jingzhe.

In this life-and-death situation, Lei Jingzhe dragged the subordinate beside him, leaned back with all his strength, and pushed the person in front of him with all his strength. The arrow pierced the subordinate's chest, and the force brought Lei Jingzhe down. He dismounted. He rolled up on the ground, threw away the body, got on the horse and continued running.

Zhou Gui greeted Shen Zechuan at the foot of the city. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He wiped his face and said, "Good come, good come!"

Shen Zechuan dismounted, helped Kong Ling himself, and said guiltily: "Mr. Cheng Feng has suffered."

Kong Ling saw that he was very polite, so he waved his hand, leaned up and looked at the imperial guards, and said, "Don't take it to heart, I know. I will do anything to capture the bandits."

"After all, I didn't talk to you sir in advance," Shen Zechuan turned around and called Ding Tao, "Go and get clean clothes for sir, and ask the doctor to follow you."

For the sake of Cizhou, Kong Ling would no longer hold grudges against Shen Zechuan. Although he had a grudge in his heart, he understood that there was a reason for the incident, so he was supported by Ding Tao and bowed to Shen Zechuan. Xiao Chiye also dismounted. Approach quickly.

"I never thought that there was someone else behind Lei Changming." Kong Ling looked at the mountains and forests. He survived the disaster, but his sorrow did not diminish. He said, "This man is hard-hearted, good at disguise, and very cautious. Let him escape today. If you do, there will definitely be trouble again in the future.”

"If the Marquis and his colleagues had not arrived in time today, Cizhou would not have been able to escape this disaster." Zhou Gui put down his sleeves and bowed to them.

"Your Excellency, you are not afraid in the face of danger, so you gave us time." Xiao Chiye turned his head and wiped the ashes from his face, and said, "The Forbidden Army still has ambushes on the official road to the south of Cizhou, and the ones left by Lei Changming to the east There are also soldiers and horses stationed in the old camp. He has been surrounded by the Forbidden Army, and it is not easy to escape."

"He finally retreated, thanks to the reinforcements from the south side of the Marquis." Kong Ling said with emotion, "The Marquis is wise, we will send people to open the south gate."

Xiao Chiye laughed and looked at Shen Zechuan, but said nothing.

Shen Zechuan said: "Your Excellency and Sir are not busy. The reinforcements from the Forbidden Army are still on the official road more than ten miles away."

Zhou Gui was stunned, looked at Ding Tao, and said, "So..."

Ding Tao's back was still hurting. When he saw everyone looking at him, he nodded sternly and said: "I'm still on the official road and haven't come to Cizhou. On the way, the young master asked me to shout this sentence when I was in a hurry, saying that I would win. Magic weapon, sure enough, after I finished shouting, the man ran away!"

Kong Ling turned to Shen Zechuan and wanted to bow again, saying, "I know you, accept my bow."

Lei Jingzhe wanted to mobilize the imperial army and drive directly to Cizhou, but he was afraid of confronting Xiao Chiye. This man was very smart. He didn't know whether Xiao Chiye was really capable, but he was unwilling to use his own troops and Xiao Chiye went to gamble, so Shen Zechuan expected that once he thought there were reinforcements on the south side, he would run away immediately. However, no matter who the adults said "there are reinforcements", Lei Jingzhe could not immediately believe it. Only Ding Tao's shout at the critical moment of life and death could convince Lei Jingzhe.

"Good boy," Zhou Gui liked Ding Tao so much at the moment that he wished he could recognize him as his son. He patted Ding Tao several times and praised him, "You shouted so sincerely that even I believed him!"

Ding Tao felt pain in her back, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only endure it and nodded her head.

"I originally thought that the other party was just a bandit occupying the mountains and forests," Kong Ling said as he walked with them into the city, "but he talked very unusually along the way. Although he claimed to be from a poor background, I didn't think it was the case. He could control Lei Changming , but he is one generation younger than Lei Changming. I kept guessing, but I couldn’t figure out who he was."

"He made Lei Changming the boss, but he was able to mobilize these bandit soldiers freely, which shows that this person is someone who has been around Lei Changming all year round. In the eyes of outsiders, he is probably a confidant." Xiao Chiye raised his hand and held Lang Taoxue's lapel.

"Not only that," Shen Zechuan thought deeply last night and said, "With Lei Changming's headstrong character, he will not be willing to become anyone's pawn. The fact that this person can be so powerful among the bandit soldiers shows that Lei Changming has no I have doubted him and am very convinced of him. If I can do this in front of Lei Changming, it is easier to be related by blood. Mr. Cheng Feng, do you have any relatives of Lei Changming?"

Kong Ling thought for a moment and said: "Lei Changming came from a poor family. I only heard that he had a sister who married the commander-in-chief of the Duanzhou garrison as his concubine. Later, when he entered Biansha, his sister and the commander-in-chief were together. Slaughtered..." He took a breath and said, "Yes, his sister gave birth to a son for the commander-in-chief."

"The concubine of the Zhu family in Duanzhou," Zhou Gui also said, "I remembered that during the Yongyi period, I was still a ginseng priest, and I followed the adults to have full moon wine. Although Lei Changming's sister was born Zhu He is the eldest son of a concubine, the first son of Zhu Jie, the commander-in-chief of Duanzhou at that time."

"If it's really him, then it's not surprising that he has such a palace." Kong Ling turned to Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye and explained, "Mother is more valuable than her son, and the two of them lived very well in Zhu's mansion. , but later Zhu Jie’s first wife gave birth to a legitimate son, and they were abandoned by Zhu Jie.”

Shen Zechuan was about to ask this person's name, but Zhou Gui said "Oops" and stared at Shen Zechuan blankly.

“Tongzhi’s mother was also there at the Full Moon Wine!”
