Victory! Liang Feng excitedly smashed the fence in front of him with his fist, they won!

Yi Yan's performance was even better than he imagined. This is just a team of 20 people. What if it was replaced by 200 or 2,000 people? There is blood in the chest, this is an army built according to his own ideas, but if there is no excellent commander, it will be useless!

And he chose the best one!

"I ordered to stop the drums." Liang Feng said to the sentry behind him.

Xun Ji had already stood back to his original position, staring at the battlefield below, without hearing Liang Feng's voice at all. Haven't waited for a long time to get a message? Liang Feng turned his head and glanced at the sluggish sentinel. He didn't say anything. He walked to the fence and shouted at the servants who were still playing drums, "Stop the drums!"

After knocking for so long, the servant was already weak and numb, but when he heard the sound, he was so frightened that he almost lost his drum hammer: "Lang, Lord! Has the ministry failed?"

"No, it's a victory!" Liang Feng stood upright, his voice shook the courtyard, "Party victory, defeated the bandits!"

What? In the courtyard, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then, a commotion slid through the crowd. Xun Ji finally reacted at this moment. After all, he was eliminated by the trilogy. He knelt on the ground with a thud and shouted loudly: "The trilogy is a great victory! The master is mighty!!"

Hearing such a voice, the doubts disappeared, and the others also shouted excitedly: "The master is mighty! The master is powerful!"

One after another shouts echoed in the courtyard, looking at the excited smiling faces of those people, a smile appeared on Liang Feng's face. Reaching out and patting the green bamboo standing there silly, he said, "It's time to go."

Only then did Lvzhu wake up from a dream, grabbed Liang Feng's sleeve, and whimpered, "Lang Jun! The part has won!"

"Yes, we won." Liang Feng smiled and said to Xun Ji, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Go to Zhuangshang to find A Liang, and let him bring some young men to see me."

After all, he stepped downstairs. The battle is over, but it will take time for it to end. I don't know if there were any casualties. There are also cleaning the battlefield, driving away the defeated soldiers, burying the corpses, and finding out the origin of the opponent... All things should not be taken lightly.

Looking at Liang Feng's figure slowly going downstairs, Lu Zhu finally reacted and followed quickly: "Lang Jun, be careful with your steps..."

A burst of burning pain came from the face, and Tian Chang struggled to get up from the ground. The whip was so harsh that one of his eyes could no longer see, and he had lost a few teeth. He reached out and touched the back of his head, and his hands were covered in blood. But at this moment, he couldn't care about his own injuries. Zhang Hun is actually dead? ! Died at the hands of the new recruits in Liang Mansion

Aren't they only twenty? Why is it so strong? ! Could it be that the sick seedling had some kind of law? !

The originally aggressive bandit soldiers were fleeing in all directions, Tian Chang was just stunned for a moment, and even rushed towards his mount. He can't stay here, not to mention that the bandit soldiers are in a panic, and they may hurt themselves. If the family soldiers of the Liang residence were caught, it would be a place to die without a burial!

He can't die! He's still alive!

Although his body was covered with injuries, Tian Chang's movements were surprisingly quick, and after a while he got on the donkey and whipped his whip desperately: "Let's go! Hurry!"

The donkey was in pain, neighed, and fled to the distance with its hooves. However, it's good not to run away. As soon as he ran like this, Yi Yan immediately saw the fish that slipped through the net. Without hesitation, he urged the horse and chased after him.

Zhang Hun's mount was a good horse, with four hooves flying like a fly, and it came close in a short time. Yi Yan's eyes were extraordinary. When he saw the hunched figure curled up on the donkey in front of him, and the messy white hair, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he waved and threw the iron axe in his hand.

The axe roared and slammed into the donkey's leg. The donkey squeaked miserably and fell to the ground, along with the man on its back.

Tian Chang only felt that the world was spinning for a while, followed by a piercing pain in his leg, I don't know if the bone was broken or not. Overwhelmed by the struggling donkey, he screamed, "Help! Help!"

A shadow galloped to his side, Tian Chang suddenly raised his head, and saw the ugly-faced Jie Ren looking at him with murderous intent, with a buzzing sound in his head, he cried out: "General, General, spare your life! I know Zhang Hun. He still wants to harm the master, I know..."

Before he finished speaking, a short gun fell from the sky and pierced his chest. Tian Chang's body trembled, and he immediately lost his breath.

Yi Yan didn't look at the corpse. He pulled the reins in his hand and slammed the horse's belly.

Tian Chang's old man is in the bandit team, and he wants to harm the lord! The gray-blue eyes almost bleed, and while riding the horse, Yi Yan's eyes fell on the high observation platform in the courtyard, but at this moment, the red and beautiful figure was no longer on the platform.

"Why haven't the people arrived yet? Wasn't he found out?" Crouching under the bushes in the corner, Wang Hu looked around nervously, for fear of being caught out and executed on the charge of being a bandit.

Wang Bao reassured: "The bell has just rang, how can it be so fast? Brother, don't panic, listen to this movement, there will be no less thieves coming, and everyone must have gone to the front yard, who will pay attention to this side. ? Just wait and the credit will come... "

As the two were talking, there was a sudden noise from the courtyard wall. Wang Leopard snorted: "This is not coming!"

Sure enough, I saw a burly man climbed over the courtyard wall and landed on the ground lightly. After a while, a thinner one also jumped down. The movements of the two were indescribably agile. Do this well. The Wang brothers hurried up to meet them: "But the hero of Qingyang Village?"

The burly man snorted coldly: "You two are brothers of the Wang family? Hurry up and lead the way. If you can't hold the head of Liang's house, I will use you to make a knife!"

I didn't expect the visitor to look so ruthless, the brothers of the Wang family immediately persuaded, Wang Bao bowed his head and flattered: "Don't worry, the bell has struck, I think the master is busy meeting the enemy... Oh no, it is to guard against the heroes. Soldiers and horses, no one in the village will pay attention to us."

"That's right, the hero is here, please." Wang Hu didn't dare to neglect, he stepped forward cautiously, and sneaked toward the main courtyard with two bandits.

The path they chose was quite good, and they didn't even meet half of them. When he reached the high wall of the inner house, Wang Hu pulled open a clump of grass in the corner, revealing a hole the size of a dog hole, and said with a smile, "This place is in disrepair and has a small door, if the two of you don't dislike it. …”

"Go away!" The thinner man pushed Wang Hu away, and he didn't dislike it. He stabbed and got into the hole. no one!"

The burly one just got through the hole with difficulty, and came out to see that there was really no one there. This side seems to be an empty courtyard, and there is a corridor next to it, and I don't know where it extends. Such a big mansion, without an acquaintance to lead the way, they really can't find a place.

Wang Bao also got through the dog hole at this time, patted the dust on his body, and explained: "The courtyard where the owner lives is to the west, I will take you there."

He was about to lead the way, but the burly man suddenly stopped in his footsteps: "Wait, why are there drums coming?"

Only then did a few people realize that the piercing bells disappeared at some point, replaced by roaring drums. Wang Bao's response was not slow, and he immediately said: "I'm afraid it came from the Wanglou! Could it be a fight?"

How long has it been since it started? Could it be a bandit... ah no, this group of strongmen is so powerful

The burly man frowned and said sternly, "Take us there quickly and catch the surname Liang as soon as possible!"

Wang Bao shrank his neck, did not dare to neglect, and led the two to touch the main courtyard. Not to mention, I didn't even meet half a person along the way, it seems that the servants and handmaids have disappeared. After finally reaching the main courtyard, looking at the empty courtyard, the thin man said angrily, "Where's the one named Liang?!"

"I... I don't know..." Wang Bao was also stunned. At the critical moment when the bandit soldiers attacked, the sick man didn't stay in the main courtyard honestly, where would he go to hide

Suddenly, the drums that had been beating ceaselessly ceased, and instead there was a faint cheer from the front yard, as if winning a battle. Not to mention that it only takes a quarter of an hour from the sound of the drum to the stop of the drum, even if the two sides really take over the battle, is it possible that hundreds of mountain bandits will not be able to beat the only 20 family soldiers

What exactly is going on? The burly man asked again: "Are you sure this is the family's courtyard?"

"The two of us have been nursing homes for a few years, how could we admit we were wrong?" Wang Hu shrank his neck, "The two heroes are here now, and the owner of the family will be back soon, can you introduce us to us? Back off?"

The two bandits looked at each other, and the burly man said, "Go, be careful not to let others find out."

With these words, the brothers Wang Hu and Wang Leopard immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Today's situation is really weird, they don't want to stay here, they might as well sneak back to the farmhouse and wait for the moment when the Liang Mansion is breached.

Once again, he cautiously bowed to the two mountain bandits. The two turned around and wanted to walk out of the courtyard, but before they took a few steps, two big hands covered their mouths at the same time, and the cold blade kissed their necks. , Before even struggling to struggle, the two lucky guys went to heaven.

"Be careful, don't let blood stick to your clothes." The thin man urged, "Quickly change your clothes and wait for the surnamed Liang to come back."

"What are these two guys going to do?"

"Throw it into the grass on the side."

Soon, the clothes on the corpse were taken off and put on the two mountain bandits. After hiding the corpse, the two stood at the gate of the courtyard one by one, bowing their heads and looking down, like two dutiful guards, guarding there.

Just after going up and down the stairs, and watching the battle with all his attention for a long time, Liang Feng is also a little tired. After descending from the watchtower, he did not wander around, but walked directly to the main courtyard. After a while, Yi Yan should be able to clean up the battlefield, and then come back and return to his life, and naturally he can make other arrangements. What he needs most now is to walk back to the room with dignity and appease the fears of the servants.

Green Bamboo closely followed behind Liang Feng, and every now and then he wanted to come up to help him. Liang Feng could only smile and say it's okay, to reassure her. Just passing through the two courtyards under everyone's attention, Liang Feng slowly walked to the courtyard where he lived, but as soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, he stopped.

He smelled a familiar scent. The smell of blood is not strong, but it is very clear. Less than five steps in front of them, stood two servants, dressed in the style of Liang Mansion's guards, but the clothes were not neat, and some dark brown marks could be seen on the front of the clothes. Their heads hung low, their bodies turned halfway, and one hand was behind their waists.

The situation is not right! Without hesitation, Liang Feng pushed the green bamboo behind him vigorously: "Go!"

His voice was not small, as if he was awakened by this sentence, and the two of them rushed up at the same time, holding the bright short knife in their hands. Lvzhu didn't react at all, staggered a step, and retreated outside the courtyard. Liang Feng stretched out his sleeves, stopped in front of the courtyard gate, and shouted, "Come on!"

His current body can't stop the two at all, but no matter what, he is also the head of the Liang family, and these gangsters who deliberately disguised should not directly kill him. But they may not be merciful to the girl Lvzhu!

Lu Zhu's eyes widened, watching the two fierce guys pounce on Lang Jun, she just hesitated for a moment, then ran out. She can't save Lang Jun alone! Yiyan, where is Yiyan? !

The huge momentum made Liang Feng stumble and barely fell to the ground. A strong arm grabbed his neck, and the ice-cold blade touched the vital point of his throat. At the same time, a voice sounded beside him: "Let that little girl escape!"

"Don't worry about it so much, grab this sick seedling first!" said the person holding Liang Feng.

"Tsk! I didn't expect to be seen through, how could it be so troublesome?" The gangster spat and turned around. When he saw Liang Feng's face clearly, he suddenly opened his eyes, "This sick seedling is not bad!"

"It doesn't matter what he looks like! Hurry up and take it out to the general!" A Niu snorted.

Ah Rui coughed dryly: "That's right. It will be handed over to the general later. It's not up to the general to decide what to do with it..."

It was only at this moment that the Venus star in front of Liang Feng slowly retreated, took a breath, and asked, "You want to tie me up?"

"That's right! If you want to survive, hand over the Liang residence obediently, and our general will leave you with a whole corpse!" A Niu turned the handle of the knife and sneered, his tone was full of threats.

"The bandit soldiers outside have just been defeated." Liang Feng said lightly without changing his expression.

"What?!" As soon as these words came out, both of them were taken aback. How long did it take to lose? how is this possible? !

"It is indeed defeated. If you take me out now, you will only be blocked by the part of the victory and return. How can you still be alive?" Liang Feng slowed down his tone and persuaded softly, "Why don't you take some Money, run for your life as soon as possible."

"Nonsense!" A Niu's blade stood upright and placed it on Liang Feng's neck, "The general has brought hundreds of people, how can it be possible to say that he is defeated?!"

"If you don't believe me, you can go check it out." Liang Feng tilted his head slightly, as if avoiding the dagger around his neck.

His voice was calm and his temperament calm, and he couldn't see the appearance of being kidnapped at all. Could it be that something went wrong up front

Ariel snorted coldly, pretending to be calm: "You want to take the opportunity to escape, right? Even if the general is defeated, as long as you are in our hands, won't those soldiers put down their weapons obediently?"

"You want to hold me to escape? I'm terminally ill, and I'm afraid it will drag the two of you back."

Ariel was completely unable to refute this. The sick young man in front of him was indeed pale, and even his standing was a little unsteady. Take him to escape, I am afraid that he will die in a few steps. He couldn't help but look up and glance at his companion.

"That little girl escaped just now, you can't stay for long!" A Niu couldn't help but said.

That's the reason, no matter what happened in front of her, the handmaiden who escaped would soon find help, and it would not be easy to escape by then.

Seemingly aware of the stumbling between the two, Liang Feng raised his hand with difficulty: "In the right room, by the wall of the bed, there is a wooden box with a lock, which contains various gold, silver and jade wares, all of which are ancestral treasures. , worth millions."

The breathing of the two mountain bandits immediately became rapid, and Al'ao gave his companion a wink: "I'll go take a look."

Saying that, he hurried to the house. Liang Feng didn't stop, he touched it with his backhand, took off a jade pendant from the belt around his waist, and said to the kidnappers behind him, "This jade pendant alone costs tens of thousands of dollars, why don't you take these treasures and leave as soon as possible. … what!"

Perhaps because he was too scared, his hand shook, and the jade pendant with a lustrous color and fine carving slipped out like that. A Niu had just heard that the jade pendant cost tens of thousands of dollars, but he couldn't bear to smash it and leaned forward involuntarily, trying to catch the jade pendant with his hands. Unexpectedly, with this movement, the sick seedling that he was strangling with one hand also moved.

Liang Feng quickly raised his left hand, and the wrong gold hairpin that was inserted into the bun was already in his hand. The gangster behind him almost stuck to him for the jade pendant. The two were so close that they didn't even have any space to dodge. Liang Feng pressed the head of the hairpin with his thumb and stabbed it with his backhand. This movement is not big, and the speed is not fast, but the hairpin head is sharp and unprepared, and Aniu has no time to react, so he makes two strange screams and falls on his back.

With a jingle, the jade pendant fell to the ground. Choked by the arm of the deceased, Liang Feng was brought to the ground involuntarily.

Hearing the movement behind him, Ariel turned back suddenly, only to see his companion and the head of the Liang family fell to the ground. He didn't care about the treasures in the house anymore, and ran back quickly: "Aniu, what happened?!"

Ah Niu didn't respond to him, instead there was blood oozing out from the neck, flowing into a piece. On him, the sick man who was about to die supported his body slightly. Is this sick seedling still alive? Did he kill Aniu? !

Ariel's eyes were all red, and with a loud roar, he jumped up. Unexpectedly, just after raising his leg, Liang Feng supported the ground with his hands, kicked his right leg suddenly, and kicked the opponent's calf. This time the force was not too ruthless, but it was so accurate that it couldn't be more accurate, and A'Radi lost his balance, his hands fluttered, and he threw himself in the face.

Right in front of him, Liang Feng clenched the dagger he took from the corpse in both hands, pointed it up, and aimed it at the person who came. Ah Rui was unavoidable and fell on Liang Feng. Hearing a chirp, all the daggers fell into his heart, and the bandit twitched slightly and lost his breath.

Lvzhu had never run so fast before, her heart was almost jumping out of her cavity, but she didn't stop, she ran out of the courtyard with all her might. The battle had just ended, and the servants were all in the front yard. She passed through the two corridors, but still could not find a suitable person. Lang Jun is in danger! Lang Jun was caught! Who will come, who will save Lang Jun? !

A crisp sound of horse hooves came, and Lvzhu saw the figure of the horse rushing into the courtyard at a glance. Her legs softened, and she knelt on the ground, with one hand stubbornly stretched out, pointing in the direction from which she came.

"There are bad people! Save Langjun!"

The black horse did not stop, galloped past her, and swept through a gust of wind mixed with the smell of blood. Lu Zhu's tears fell, but she didn't reach out to wipe it, she just struggled to get up again, and ran back. Be sure to catch up! To rescue Langjun!

Yi Yan only felt that his chest was on fire, and every breath he exhaled was filled with anger and killing intent, like swallowing a burning coal! He shouldn't fight, he should stay by the lord's side and protect the lord! If those mountain bandits dared to hurt the lord, he would definitely smash them all to pieces!

The horse rushed through the last corridor, and in front of it was the courtyard where Liang Feng lived. Yi Yan clenched the longbow in his hand and set the feather arrows horizontally. As long as he sees the figure of the villain, he can kill the opponent with one arrow. As long as he can see...

A fresh bloody smell pierced the nose, and in the open courtyard door, the three fell into a ball, motionless, the thick red penetrated the surrounding soil, like a strange flower blooming.

With a snap, the one-stone bow was pulled into two sections, and the taut bowstring roared and slapped Yiyan's face. The terrain of the courtyard was complicated, and he lost control again. The horse under him neighed, his front hooves softened, and he fell to his knees.

Yi Yan rarely reacted, and fell out of the horse. This is not too harsh, but there is still pain in the body, digging into his heart and liver, making him weak and difficult to breathe. Climbing up from the ground in a daze, he limped towards the courtyard door, ignoring the dirt and blood on his body. Is he late? Only so late

However, before it got close, an extremely weak voice came from under the corpse pile.

"Is it... Yi Yan?"
