Sui Zhou reacted very quickly, and even rushed forward to check the injuries of the two.
Tang Fan and Du Gui'er also hurried over.
"How?" Tang Fan's heart sank when he saw his solemn expression.
Sui Zhou shook his head. Just as his fingers were withdrawn from under Wei Shan's nose, a sword was struck in the back of the opponent, piercing through his heart from the back, and he was out of breath.
He went to see Lu Yan again, but found that although the other party was also seriously injured, and he was injured twice, he still had a breath!
"Lu Yan!" Sui Zhou called out his subordinate's name.
Du Gui'er struggled to come over and handed over a medicine bottle: "Brother Sui, give him a pill!"
Suizhou took the medicine bottle and poured out the pills, opened Lu Yan's chin, stuffed the medicine in, and lifted his neck slightly to force him to swallow it.
Tang Fan saw that Lu Yan had been stabbed deeply in the back, which was an injury he had suffered before he entered the hole, but he was also stabbed in the chest by another stab and was bleeding, which should have happened when they went after Meng Cun.
Du Gui'er asked Tang Fan to use Jinchuang medicine to stop the bleeding first, then stretched out his hand to give Lu Yan a pulse, concentrated for a moment, and said, "Although his injury is serious, it is fortunate that he found it early, and if it is a half hour later, I am afraid it will be true. It's useless."
After hearing her words, Suizhou and Tang Fan felt relieved.
Even though there were already faint guesses in their hearts, they still eagerly hoped to know what happened just now from Lu Yan's mouth.
Lu Yan swallowed the pill, and soon spit out a large mouthful of black blood.
Du Gui'er touched his chest, but heaved a sigh of relief: "His atrium is a little too long, and that sword didn't pierce the center of the mouth, so he saved his life."
As if to echo her words, Lu Yan's eyelids trembled a few times and slowly opened a slit.
"Big, big brother..." His voice was barely audible, and before Suizhou and the others could ask questions, he took the initiative to say: "It's Chu, Izumoko..."
It's definitely Izumoko!
Sui Zhou nodded: "We know, you should rest well and don't talk."
Only then did Lu Yan relax and completely fainted.
Tang Fan frowned tightly, but they still miscalculated.
Izumoko's origin is unknown, and he took the initiative to come to the door. Originally, he was the most suspicious, but after the initial investigation, Tang Fan and Wang Zhi ruled out the suspicion of Izumoko himself.
Because first, his identity is too conspicuous, second, he has not been in Datong for a long time, and he has no access to any secrets at all, and he is not qualified to be an inner responder. The image of the Taoist priest did not reveal any flaws.
Later, when they uprooted the line between Ding Rong and Shopkeeper Jin, the matter had come to an end.
However, Tang Fan was careful enough to still include Du Gui'er and Meng Cun as suspects. Facts also proved that although Du Gui'er was innocent, Meng Cun was indeed one of the insiders.
But after all their calculations, they still missed an Izumoko.
I thought he was brought in by Meng Cun as a cover-up, but who would have thought that this Taoist priest would have a problem
But Izumo has been pretending for so long, and even Meng Cun has not been exposed. Why did he suddenly choose to reveal his identity for Wei Shan and Lu Yan, two people who have nothing to do with the overall situation? After the matter was over, he followed Tang Fan and the others back to the city. After the experience of sharing weal and woe, wouldn't he be able to win the trust of others
Tang Fan regretted that he had not been able to think through everything, but it was useless to blame himself right now. The key was to find out Yunzi's intentions.
"It's not your fault." Sui Zhou seemed to sense what he was thinking, and patted his arm lightly.
Tang Fan has indeed tried his best, but a wise man will never fail. This is something that can't be helped. If the White Lotus Sect is such an easy enemy to deal with, it won't be like the inexhaustible weeds again and again. Blow and live.
Tang Fan felt a touch of warmth, and raised a smile to the other side.
At this moment, the corner of his eye glanced over Wei Shan's body not far away, and his heart suddenly moved.
No, Izumoko revealed her identity, definitely not for them.
After he killed Wei Shan and Lu Yan, he didn't go in to find himself and Sui Zhou, which means that they were not Izumoko's target.
Izumoko's goal is to...
Wang Zhi? !
"not good!"
Tang Fan got up abruptly.
Once he figured it out, he understood the other party's purpose!
He said to Suizhou: "From the very beginning, the target of the White Lotus Sect was not us, but Wang Zhi. So they had to divert us one by one. This cave is the best place. We thought it was safe to come here. However, our departure made Wang Zhi and the others isolated and helpless, and even Meng Cun kidnapped Du Guier just to lure us away and deal with us one by one, so that we could not go out and help Wang Zhi get out of trouble."
Suizhou knew it at one point: "If they want to kill Wang Zhi, they don't have to work so hard at all. The only possibility is that they want to live?"
Tang Fan: "Yes! Wang Zhi is the eunuch guarding Datong and a close minister of the emperor. A living Wang Zhi is much more valuable to the White Lotus Sect and the Tartars than a dead Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi has a lot to do with Wang Yue. The grace of knowing the encounter, if they threaten Wang Yue with Wang Zhi, Wang Yue will definitely be in a dilemma. Even if Wang Yue is unmoved, with Wang Zhi in his hand, it can not only shake the military heart of the Ming army, but also make it difficult for Wang Yue. The court lost face, so they went to great lengths to bring Wang Zhi here in order to capture him alive."
"But Wang Zhi's martial arts are very strong, and there is Wei Mao next to him. The other party won't be able to take them down for a while. It's almost dawn. Meng Cun said that after dawn, the Tartars will attack Datong in a big way. I'm in a hurry, I definitely want to capture Wang Zhi before dawn, so I have to reveal my identity in advance and rush over to help."
It is definitely harder to catch the alive than the dead, because when the other party knows that you have no intention of killing yourself, they will definitely use various strategies to delay the time as much as possible. With Wang Zhi's own intelligence, he must have discovered this, so I guess Now the two sides are still at a stalemate, Wang Zhi can't escape, and the people of the White Lotus Sect can't do anything about him for the time being.
Suizhou said, "That's according to your opinion?"
Tang Fan said: "I'm going to break the formation, you go to save the person, try to help him delay the time as much as possible."
Suizhou didn't even think about it: "No, there might be someone guarding the formation, I don't worry."
Tang Fan said: "It probably won't, you see when we went after Meng Cun, there were only four people who wanted to kill us in ambush in the cave. After the White Lotus Sect was suppressed by the government, its power was already huge. In order to reduce it, if it is not so, they do not have to hurry to collude with the Tartars, and now in order to capture Wang Zhi alive, they will inevitably come out of the nest, even if there are people guarding the line, there will not be too many."
Du Gui'er also said: "Yeah, Big Brother Sui, go and save people, I'm still here, I have a lot of stuff on me, if you want to hurt people unexpectedly, you can still do it, I'll go with Big Brother Tang. That's it!"
Time is extremely precious, and no one can afford to delay. Sui Zhou's eyes swept over the two of them, nodded slightly, said "take care", and turned to leave immediately.
Tang Fan and Du Gui'er worked together to move Lu Yan to hide behind a big rock in the corner, check his injury, and give him medicine again. After confirming that it was correct, they left.
It's not that they deliberately put Lu Yan in a dangerous situation, but now the manpower is limited, and they have to save people and break the formation. If Tang Fan is alone, if there is someone guarding the formation, he alone is not enough. The one who might be able to compete, Du Guier is a strong-willed girl, proficient in pharmacology, and she can even bring down Meng Cun.
The White Lotus Sect is now busy concentrating on dealing with Wang Zhi with all his strength, and even Izumo did not hesitate to shoot, and it is estimated that there is no one who can turn back. In this case, Lu Yan is relatively safe.
The two went out of the cave and walked all the way to the left.
According to Tang Fan's judgment, if you want to play the best effect, the formation will definitely not be too far from Weining Haizi, and it may even be in the foothills of the mountain, and in order to hide people's eyes and ears, Li Zilong will inevitably use the surrounding environment as a cover.
"Can you hold on?" Tang Fan asked Du Gui'er.
Du Gui'er gritted her teeth and said, "Yes!"
Although the knife in her shoulder stopped the bleeding, the wound is still there, no matter how good the medicine is, it cannot heal the wound immediately. The knife edge of her body can be said to be covered with scars, but this girl insisted on persevering, which made Tang Fan admired.
It was a thrilling night. However, it has been less than two hours since they encountered the shadow soldiers passing by, and the sky has not really brightened yet. period of time.
The rain has stopped, but the sandstorm is still going on. As soon as you leave the cave, you can hear the wind whistling in your ears, and feel the rolling sand and dust blowing towards your face.
Having said that, Wang Zhi can last all night in this environment, but he is still trapped in the formation, even if the other party has no intention of killing him, he is still quite capable.
"Brother Tang, this is pitch-black, where can we find it?" Du Gui'er couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
"Do you feel the direction of the sandstorm?" Tang Fan said.
Du Gui'er only felt the pain from scratching on her face, and quickly pulled the outer garment that had just been taken off from a certain corpse on her head again, shaking her head and said, "No."
Tang Fan said: "The formation can only be guided by the situation. It is impossible to generate wind on the ground. The sandstorm seems to be irregular, but the further we go, the bigger the wind and sand will be."
Du Gui'er followed Tang Fan for a while, and found that it was really the case, and couldn't help but say with joy, "That is to say, this direction is right? Then if we go further, we can find the stone formation?"
"It should be!" In order to prevent a slender woman from being blown away or scattered by the wind, Tang Fan tightly grabbed her arm with one hand.
The two were one after the other, struggling to move forward in the wind and sand.
Compared to Tang Fan and the others, Wang Zhi was obviously not much better off this night.
At this time, he was standing in the wild sand, back to back with Wei Mao, supporting his body with a knife against the ground. .
The two of them were surrounded by ghosts, and tens of thousands of ghost soldiers surrounded them to start a battle that had been repeated for hundreds of years. In the slaughter, there was also the breath of living people. As long as Wang Zhi and Wei Mao If his mind relaxes a little, those White Lotus believers who are hidden among the shadow soldiers will take the opportunity to sneak attack.
At first, Wei Mao protected Wang Zhi, but later, after finding out that the other party was planning to capture him alive, it became Wang Zhi who was protecting Wei Mao.
With their strong martial arts and perseverance, the two of them lasted most of the night.
However, no matter how capable they are, they are only mortals, not gods. After killing several White Lotus believers in a row, the other party is obviously in a hurry, and the offensive continues to strengthen.
If the day were changed, Wang Zhi might not be afraid, but now the enemy is dark and we are clear, and the other party hides by the familiarity of the environment, and takes advantage of the situation to move, and it is impossible to guard against it.
This is a dead end.
If he was captured alive by the opponent and used to threaten Wang Yue or embarrass the court, Wang Zhi felt that he might as well die in battle or kill himself.
It's not because of how deep his affection for Wang Yue is, or because of the awe-inspiring attitude of sacrificing justice, but because of Wang Zhi's pride, he can't stand the humiliation.
But right now, the situation they are facing is very bad. If it goes on like this, even if the sun rises, the sandstorm stops, and the formation disappears, it is difficult for Wang Zhi and Wei Mao alone to repel so many people.
"Wang Gong, I'm afraid this subordinate can't hold it anymore... I'll rush up to help you resist, you can take advantage of the chaos to see if you can fight..." Wei Mao gasped behind him.
"What nonsense! Without you, I can rush out alone! Don't think that you can save others by sacrificing yourself, and save your poor life to this master!" Wang Zhi scolded.
Wei Mao gave a bleak smile, his face full of despair.
If it's not desperate, who wants to take a life
But in the case where there may only be one person alive, Wei Mao cannot choose to live by himself. If he can be brought here by Wang Zhi from the capital, his loyalty is undoubtedly unquestionable, and if Wang Zhi dies in the end, Instead, he is alive, and even if he can go back, he will not have any good fruit to eat.
"Wang Gong, instead of both of them being here, it's better for my subordinates to fight together. If there is an emergency, my family will ask Wang Gong to take care of one or two..."
"Take care of your ass!" Wang Zhi interrupted him, "Take care of your family yourself, I have no interest in taking care of them! Stop talking nonsense, I'm annoying! If you think you're dead, I'll be able to escape, don't It’s a dream, but now the two of them have a better chance of winning! If you dare to make up your own mind, when you go back, I will definitely have your home stolen!”
"Wang Gong..." Wei Mao's eyes filled with tears, holding the handle of the knife tightly in his hand.
"Don't grumble like a girl, kill!"
In the sandstorm, it was dark and the sky was dark, and the screams of ghosts were incessant. It was a big test for people's willpower. Even though Wang Zhi and Wei Mao were as hard as iron, they couldn't pretend that their ears were deaf. Over time, they would inevitably be affected when they shot. , which fell into the hands of the enemy.
The two cooperated seamlessly, one attack and one defense, and another wave of attacks was defeated, and one enemy was eliminated by the way, but Wang Zhi was also stunned because of this, and he was slashed in the shoulder.
"Don't Tang Runqing's tortoise grandson has the most ghost ideas on weekdays, what time is it now, why hasn't he been seen, where did he die!" Eunuch Wang scolded people smoothly, from Bailian Sect to Tang Fan, no one was spared, of course, He also knew that Tang Fan and the others were probably too busy taking care of themselves now, but that didn't prevent him from having a good time with his mouth.
Wei Mao smiled wryly, knowing that the owner of his factory was also using curses to refresh his mind.
However, at this moment, his ears moved, and he couldn't help but say with joy, "Mr. Wang, listen, are the rescuers here?"
Wang Zhi stopped cursing.
He also noticed that there seemed to be fewer people surrounding them, the offensive slowed down, and the pressure on the two dropped sharply.
In the sandstorm, the sound of swords, spears and swords came faintly, and the movement was more vivid, and it was still possible to distinguish it from the slaughter of the shadow soldiers lingering in the ears.
Did someone really come to rescue them
Wang Zhi didn't have time to think about it, and immediately said: "Take the opportunity to kill a few more, come on!"
The two of them flew out and smashed with each other.
The people of the White Lotus Sect didn't seem to think that Wang Zhi and the others, who had already become turtles in the urn, would still have the strength to fight. Coupled with the sudden attack from the outside, they were caught off guard, and the battle suddenly became a bit chaotic.
Wang Zhi and Wei Mao carried the embroidered spring knives that drank countless blood, and burst out the energy they had previously held back, and immediately beheaded the two white lotus cultivators under the knife. Of course, they did not give up. cost.
The two of them had several new injuries, and they knew in their hearts that this momentum would not last long, and they worked hard, and then fell again, and then they were exhausted. If the situation continued, this energy would soon dissipate.
Taking advantage of the chance that the enemy's position was a little chaotic, Wang Zhi and the others met with the people who came to help out.
As soon as they met, Wang Zhi was dumbfounded: "Why are you the only one!"
Suizhou was busy resisting the three people attacking from the front.
"Who else do you think?" He didn't look back.
"Where are your two Jinyi guards!"
Wang Zhi waved his knife to block the incoming sword wind, and grabbed the person who came. The white lotus cultivator was also alert, so he hurriedly stepped back, but he was still a step behind. Involuntarily, it was used by Wang Zhi as a shield. At this time, another White Lotus cultivator attacked Wang Zhi with an Emei water thorn. Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of him, but a pair of weapons plunged into his companion's body. .
The companion let out a scream, and the white lotus cultivator couldn't help being stunned for a while, and immediately died when Wei Mao slashed his throat with a knife.
"One is dead, and the other cannot move." Suizhou said coldly.
Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment. He thought he was here to rescue soldiers, but who knew that there was only Sui Zhou alone.
Even if the opponent's skills are not inferior to his own, but two fists are invincible to four palms, what can one person do, and how much time can he delay
"What about Tang Runqing!" He was still a little unwilling to give up.
Even if Tang Fan doesn't know martial arts, there is only someone else to protect him here, but no one will think that he is a drag, because he is cautious, careful, resourceful, and has become a skill that can be trusted and relied upon.
It can be said that the reason why Wang Zhi and the others were able to last so long before was not because Tang Fan would find a way to help them get out of trouble. With hope, they naturally have motivation.
But now, after finding out that only Suizhou had come, not only Wei Mao, but also Wang Zhi felt a little desperate.
The two of Sui and Tang are Jiao Buli Meng, and Meng Bulijiao, if it wasn't for Tang Fan's accident, how could Suizhou appear here alone
Unexpectedly, Sui Zhou's next sentence was: "He went to find a way to break the formation."
Wang Zhi was overjoyed and rekindled a glimmer of hope: "Can you find it?"
Suizhou did not answer.
He really couldn't answer this question, maybe even Tang Fan couldn't answer it.
If you can find it, there is still a chance. If you can't find it, then everyone has a dead end.
Sui Zhou also realized that Wang Zhi and Wang Zhi were both at the end of the day. If they didn't know the answer, it was estimated that their disappointment would be even greater, so he changed the topic: "Have you seen Izumoko?"
Wang Zhi was suspicious: "No, what happened to him?"
Suizhou said solemnly: "He killed Wei Shan, and Runqing suspects that he is Li Zilong."
Wang Zhi was shocked and angry: "Is this true?!"
Suizhou hummed.
Wang Zhi didn't know how Tang Fan came to this judgment, but as long as it came out of Tang Fan's mouth, he subconsciously had seven percent confidence.
At first, he also felt that the timing of Izumoko's appearance was too coincidental, so he kept him nearby to monitor, but then Ding Rong's incident happened one after another, and Izumoko himself had no suspicious motives and conditions, so he gradually They were removed from the list.
Unexpectedly, after a circle, Izumoko is not only one of the thieves, but his identity is even more shocking than Ding Rong Mengcun and others.
Indeed, who would have imagined that the monster, like a hundred-footed worm, who was dead but not stiff, would dare to appear in front of them after escaping from death in the capital? Who would have thought that, as the national teacher of the Tatar royal court, he would condescend to come here to arrange everything in person? Who will associate Izumoko with Li Zilong
As long as Wang Zhi thought that there were so many White Lotus believers hidden around him, but he didn't realize it, he felt a kind of anger of being played with from the bottom of his heart.
"Li Zilong, you son of a turtle, get out of here for Lao Tzu. Did your mother give birth to one less egg when she gave birth to you, so that you can only hide your head and show your tail all day? Are you hiding on the side to watch the fun, or are you a woman disguised as a man? It seems that your subordinates are really in the water, and they will listen to you, a male and female monster. Come on, come, Come to Grandpa, take off your clothes, and let your disciples see if you are a man or a woman!"
Although they can't see it clearly, the voice is transmitted through internal force, and the enemy's people must hear it clearly.
Eunuch Wang's scolding skills are not bad. After this obscene insult, it is estimated that even the dead will be angry, not to mention the self-proclaimed Li Zilong Li Daochang.
After a while, a sinister voice came from the wind and sand, and it was indeed somewhat similar to Izumoko's voice if you listened carefully.
"Wang Zhi, you can only play tricks now, don't say I didn't give you a way to survive, as long as you surrender obediently, I can still ask Dayan Khan for mercy and spare your life!"
Wang Zhi laughed: "Daochang Li, Miss Li, or Mamma Li? What should I call you? You must be accurate!"
He knew that the people of the White Lotus Sect couldn't kill him at all, otherwise it wouldn't have dragged on for so long, so he became more and more fearless.
As soon as Wang Zhi's words were spoken, Suizhou and the others felt that the other party's offensive was a little more severe.
At the same time, Li Zilong's voice sounded again: "I still don't know it when I die!"
Sui Zhou squinted his eyes, suddenly stood up from the ground, stepped on Wang Zhi's shoulder with his toes, and directly lifted it and flew towards a certain place in front of him.
Wang Zhi was accidentally stepped on the wound by him, and the scolding immediately shifted his target: "Sui Guangchuan, are you dumb, don't you say something before stepping on it?!"
