Lei Jingzhe didn't dare to hold on, he couldn't dodge in a hurry, so he could only wave his knife to resist. The arrow slammed into the blade with a "hum" sound, causing Lei Jingzhe's arm to go numb. He made a decisive decision and directly rode his horse over Zhou Gui, and was about to lead someone into the city gate.
"Close the door!" Zhou Gui was knocked to the ground, and he shouted at the city general with his robe in his hand, ignoring the embarrassment.
The city generals together, pressed their shoulders, shouted in unison, and closed against the city gate to the center. Lei Jingzhe's horse was even faster. When his horse arrived, the knife also arrived. The city general who was the first to cut down and overthrow the city gate was about to drive straight in and occupy the city. At the moment, Lei Jingzhe's head froze, he slumped his upper body, sank on his horse, and climbed up to a young man of sixteen or seventeen.
Ding Tao's palm slashed towards Lei Jingzhe's neck, Lei Jingzhe dodged sideways, holding the hilt of the knife, backhand straight/insert into Ding Tao's chest and abdomen. Ding Tao slid down on the saddle, avoiding the blade. With his feet on the ground, he followed the fast galloping horse for a few moments, and then climbed up again with the strength of his arms.
"Hey!" Ding Tao grabbed Lei Jingzhe's arm, raised his hand and threw a brush of ink on Lei Jingzhe's face when he looked back.
Lei Jingzhe didn't even count that the young man who came to save the scene still had such a move. His eyes were splashed by the ink, and he couldn't see the surroundings immediately. But his ear power was amazing, and he felt Ding Tao's path the moment Ding Tao sneaked up, dragged Ding Tao's neckline during the confrontation, and then threw Ding Tao off the horse.
Ding Tao fell to the ground, and her back was sore. He cried out in pain, and before he could finish shouting, a horse's hoof met him. Ding Tao hurriedly rolled to avoid, but the back exposed when he rolled was exposed to Lei Jingzhe's eyes.
Don't miss out!
Lei Jingzhe immediately threw a steel knife.
Ding Tao wanted to hide, but her ankle was dragged by the bandits who were chasing after him. His whole body was forced to lie down in the muddy water, with his arms on the ground, he tried to lift his body, but was dragged down again. The steel knife had reached the back, and Ding Tao's face was covered with mud. He gritted his teeth and straightened his upper body, shouting into the city, "Open the south gate, reinforcements are here!"
Lei Jingzhe cursed angrily, but saw that the steel knife that was thrown out was intercepted in the middle by the extremely narrow scabbard, and then was picked up and flew out, and was nailed diagonally to the ground.
Ding Tao was still in shock. He looked back and saw that the bandit who had just dragged his ankle was already dead and dead. He immediately got up, jumped several times in a row, his head popped out from behind Shen Zechuan, and said to Lei Jingzhe, "You're dead!"
The city gate was already closed, and Lei Jingzhe led the crowd to the entrance of the horse road, but was blocked. He recognized who this person was, and the white that showed under the cloak was the color that the other party never changed since he left Qidu. Lei Jingzhe's horse took a few steps back, but the next moment, he slammed his whip into it. Shen Zechuan tore off his cloak and threw it in Ding Tao's arms. Lang Taoxue raised her hooves, and the moment the wind picked up, Yangshanxue had already unsheathed.
Lei Jingzhe's knife had already been released, and before he collided with Shen Zechuan, he pulled out his subordinate's saber. The neighing of the horse was like a horn, and the two strong forces collided between the blades, and the blades screamed in unison, making the heart skip a beat.
Lei Jingzhe encountered an opponent who was completely different from the past. His terrifying strength seemed to plunge into the water, no matter how fierce his blade was, it would be pushed away by the water-like softness and become invisible. The more he worked hard, the more he seemed to be led by Shen Zechuan's nose, and gradually fell into a vicious circle that he couldn't escape no matter what.
Lei Jingzhe was very shrewd, he pushed his knife and pretended to attack, but he turned around and ran away in the next instant.
Today's opportunity was lost, and Ding Tao just shouted "reinforcements are here", which made Lei Jingzhe feel the desire to retreat. His men were obviously surrounded by Xiao Chiye. If he didn't withdraw quickly and insisted on staying behind to attack the city, he would be in a situation of embattledness and would not last a few days!
"Withdraw!" Lei Jingzhe took the lead in dropping his horse to the southeast.
Shen Zechuan didn't chase, and Xiao Chiye, who was still in the east, jumped on his horse and led his men to chase behind Lei Jingzhe. Lei Jingzhe galloped on his horse, looked back in the turbulence, pointed at Xiao Chiye, then at Shen Zechuan, and shouted in a savage voice, "Let's meet again in the future!"
Bandits don't wear armor and are faster. They were good at escaping, and they all rushed back to the forest. They didn't pay attention to the formation of queues.
Xiao Chiye raised the Overlord Bow again, and the sound of the strong bow weighing 100 jin was terrifying when it was pulled away. Xiao Chiye's eyes were fixed on Lei Jingzhe's back. Seeing that Lei Jingzhe was about to rush into the forest, he still had no intention of shooting arrows.
Twisted his body and fell straight down, swooping in front of Lei Jingzhe, his sharp claws hooked towards Lei Jingzhe's eyes. Lei Jingzhe secretly said that it was not good, so he was forced to slow down, wave his hands to cover his face, and turn around to avoid. At this moment, Xiao Chiye in the back loosened his fingers, the arrow was like a golden glow spewing from the scorching sun, and the afterimage and the gust of wind dragged behind Yu, but after a breath, it was already in front of Lei Jingzhe.
Lei Jingzhe dragged the subordinate beside him in this life-and-death jedi, leaned back halfway, and pushed the person in front of him with all his strength. The arrow pierced through the subordinate's chest, and that force brought Lei Jingzhe off the horse. He rolled on the ground, got up, threw the body away, mounted his horse and continued to run.

Zhou Gui greeted Shen Zechuan at the bottom of the city, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, wiped his face and said, "Good come, good come!"
Shen Zechuan dismounted, personally helped Kong Ling, and said guiltily, "Mr. Chengfeng suffers."
Seeing that he was polite and thoughtful, Kong Ling waved his hand, propped himself up and looked at the forbidden army, and said, "Tongzhi don't have to take it to heart. In order to take down the bandits, I will do whatever I want."
"I didn't talk to Mr. in advance," Shen Zechuan looked back and called Ding Tao, "Go and get a clean robe for Mr., and ask the doctor to come with you."
For the sake of Ibaraki, Kong Ling will no longer hold a grudge against Shen Zechuan. Although he had grudges 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 got off his horse and walked closer.
"I never imagined that there is someone else behind Lei Changming." Kong Ling looked at the mountains and forests, and his worries did not diminish. He said, "This man is hard-hearted, good at disguising, and very cautious. Let him escape today. There will be trouble again in the future.”
"If Lord Hou and Tongzhi hadn't arrived in time today, Cizhou would not have escaped this disaster." Zhou Gui put down his sleeves and bowed to the two of them.
"Your Excellency is not afraid of danger, so you have left time for us." Xiao Chiye tilted his head to wipe off the ashes from his face, and said, "The forbidden army still has soldiers in ambush on the official road on the south side of Cizhou, and Lei Changming left it in 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 so easy to escape."
"He finally retreated, thanks to the reinforcements on the south side of Lord Hou." Kong Ling said with emotion, "Master Hou is wise, we will send someone to open the south gate."
Xiao Chiye laughed and looked at Shen Zechuan, but did not speak.
Shen Zechuan said: "Sir and Mr. are not busy. The reinforcements of the forbidden army are still on the official road more than ten miles away."
Zhou Gui was taken aback, looked at Ding Tao, and said, "So..."
Ding Tao's back still hurt. Seeing everyone looking at him, he nodded sternly and said, "I'm still on the official road, I haven't come to Cizhou. On the way, the son asked me to call this sentence when I was in a hurry, saying that I would win. Magic weapon, sure enough, after I finished shouting, that person ran away!"
Kong Ling wanted to bow again to Shen Zechuan, and said, "Tong Zhi, let me bow again."
Lei Jingzhe wanted to mobilize the forbidden army to drive directly to Cizhou, but he was afraid of confronting Xiao Chiye. This person is very smart. He doesn't know if Xiao Chiye has any real skills, but he is unwilling to gamble with Xiao Chiye with his own troops at this time, so Shen Zechuan expected that once he thinks there are reinforcements on the south side, he will immediately run away. However, the words "reinforcement", no matter who they say, can't convince Lei Jingzhe immediately, only the cry of Ding Tao, who is at the juncture of life and death, can convince Lei Jingzhe.
"Good boy," Zhou Gui liked Ding Tao so much at the moment that he wanted to recognize him as his son, took Ding Tao several times, and praised, "It's so real, even I believe it!"
Ding Tao's back was hurting, but she didn't dare to say it, so she could only endure it and nodded.
"I thought the other party was just a bandit occupying the mountains and forests," Kong Ling said as they walked into the city with them, "but he talked very well along the way. Although he claimed to be from a poor family, I didn't think so. He was able to control Lei Changming. , but he is a generation younger than Lei Changming, I guessed and guessed, but I couldn't guess who he was."
"He made Lei Changming a big boss, but he can mobilize these bandit soldiers freely, which shows that this person is someone who has been around Lei Changming all the year round. From the outsider's point of view, this is likely to be a confidant." Xiao Chi Ye raised his hand and held Lang Taoxue's lapel.
"Not only that," Shen Zechuan said after thinking deeply last night, "With Lei Changming's stubborn character, he will not be willing to become someone's pawn. The fact that this person is so powerful among the bandits shows that Lei Changming has no doubts. He, and I am very convinced of him, to be able to do this in front of Lei Changming, blood relatives are easier. Mr. Cheng Feng, does Lei Changming have any relatives?"
Kong Ling thought for a moment and said, "Lei Changming's family is poor, I just heard that he has a sister in his family who is married to the commander-in-chief of the Duanzhou garrison as a concubine. Later, Biansha entered the country, and his sister was with the commander-in-chief. Being slaughtered..." He took a breath and said, "Yes, his sister gave birth to a son for the commander-in-chief."
"The concubine of Zhu's family in Duanzhou," Zhou Gui also said, "I remembered that during the Yongyi years, I was still a ginseng food Taoist, and went to eat the full moon wine with the adults. Although Lei Changming's sister gave birth to Zhu His concubine is the eldest son of the concubine, and the first son of Zhu Jie, the commander-in-chief of Duanzhou at that time."
"If it's him, then it's not surprising that he has such a city mansion." Kong Ling turned his head and explained to Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye, "Mother and son are precious, and their mothers lived well in Zhu's mansion, but Later, Zhu Jie's wife gave birth to direct sons, and they were rejected by Zhu Jie."
Shen Zechuan was about to ask the person's name, but Zhou Gui said "Oops" and stared at Shen Zechuan blankly.
"At that time, the full moon wine, Tongzhi's mother was also there!"
