More than a dozen warships of the Dazhou Navy appeared in the upper and lower reaches of the Xiajiang River, and there were many soldiers from the Shennu Battalion on board.
The sound of breaking through the sky sounded, and many masters of the imperial court landed and chased towards Fengyang County.
Several Taoists in fluttering green clothes swept out from the forest on the opposite bank, tapped on the navy boat, and landed on the bank of the river.
These Taoists in Tsing Yi have cold expressions and unpredictable realms. They are holding Taoist swords and come from Changchun Temple in Luoyang.
Worn leather boots step on the stone steps that are still wet in the morning dew.
The tea merchants and passers-by on both sides of the stone steps looked at the approaching figure and retreated subconsciously, not knowing whether it was because of fear or shame.
Xiao Zhang didn't even look at those people, nor paid attention to the court masters who were rushing over. Holding the iron gun, he continued to walk up with a blank expression.
A few exclamations came from an unknown street corner, and then quickly disappeared. Among the slightly chaotic crowd, one could vaguely see crossbow arrows emitting a faint cold light.
Like cranes, those Taoists in green clothes floated up the stone steps and came behind Xiao Zhang, with solemn expressions, ready to strike at any time.
The road from the riverside to Qibaozhai in Fengyang County is all stone steps. There are more than 7,000 steps in total.
For ordinary people, it will take a long time to finish.
But for a character like Xiao Zhang, even if he is seriously injured, it still doesn't take too long.
After a while, he came to the middle of the stone steps, and there was a small grass garden beside the street.
Dozens of people stood on the grass and under the winter trees, looking at him with mixed emotions, a little scared and a little uneasy.
Suddenly, a sword light that was extremely dim and difficult to attract attention pierced through the vegetable basket carried by a citizen and stabbed towards Xiao Zhang.
This is a direction that is hard for anyone to think of. This sword is very insidious.
However, Xiao Zhang seemed to have been prepared for a long time. With a low snort, the iron gun in his hand shot through the air, and with the violent wind, he accurately hit the sword light.
With a crisp cracking sound, the sword light instantly shattered into countless pieces, and the assassin who was hiding in the crowd retreated miserably, and slammed into Dongshu heavily.
The leaves fell on the assassin's body, and were then stained red by the spurted blood.
The assassin was terrified, and wanted to stand up and run away, but he was already unable to stand up.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhang just glanced at the assassin, then ignored him, and continued to walk up the stone steps.
Chen Changsheng and others had already left the teahouse and stood behind the crowd.
Looking at this scene, Tang Thirty-Six praised: "Good method."
On the night of the Tianshu Mausoleum change and the following days, Xiao Zhang has always been a very difficult enemy of the state religion, but since he rescued Wang Po by the Luoshui River, the situation has changed. At least in Tang Sanshili's view, this strong man who should be at the top of the Xiaoyao list is a powerful foreign aid that he must win, and of course he is emotionally inclined to him.
Hearing Tang Sanshiliu's praise, Hu Thirty-two didn't speak, but Zhe Xiu shook his head, obviously having a different opinion.
"He was injured too badly." Chen Changsheng said worriedly, "It's worse than we thought."
Only then did Tang Thirty-Six understand.
According to Xiao Zhang's violent fighting method, if his combat power is still sixty-seven out of ten, even if the assassin is from Tianji Pavilion, he will definitely die with a broken bone in one move.
Even if the other party survived by luck, with Xiao Zhang's style of acting, he would definitely make another shot so that the other party could not die any more.
Now that assassin is not dead.
This can only show that Xiao Zhang's injury is beyond imagination, so serious that he is unwilling to waste even the strength of firing another shot.
as expected.
Several masters of the imperial court took advantage of the slight chaos in the crowd to attack Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang successfully repelled those court masters, and his body swayed, as if he would fall down in the next moment.
"There are new injuries, but more old ones."
Zhexiu, like Xiao Zhang, regards fighting as his life, and his vision is very accurate, and he can clearly see Xiao Zhang's problem.
After being hunted down by the imperial court for three years, and fighting non-stop without sleep, even though Xiao Zhang's body is really made of iron, he still feels tired.
Once he is tired, his reaction speed will inevitably decrease and he will be easily injured.
Once he starts to get injured, he will continue to suffer more serious injuries until his real energy is exhausted, he is exhausted and has no fighting strength.
He is a strong man on the Xiaoyao list at the peak of the stars, and it can be said that he is a rare opponent under the sacred, just like a lone behemoth in the wasteland. However, after being chased by court masters for so many days like carrion vultures and fighting for such a long distance, there will be a day when he will crash down.
Xiao Zhang finally came to the highest point of Fengyang County.
He stood in front of Qibao Village, looking down at the gorge, his eyes narrowed.
The morning sun had already crossed the mountain peak, the sun was very strong, shining on the river and mountain, it was dazzling brightly.
He could see very clearly that those court masters and soldiers from the Shennu Battalion had surrounded the entire Fengyang City.
Although he was not distracted, he was a little disturbed, as if he saw a swarm of flies lingering.
A character like Xiao Zhang may feel that he is indeed a lone monster in the wilderness, but he will never admit that those court masters who have been chasing him for several years are vultures. In his view, these guys are like annoying mosquitoes and flies , buzzing in my ears every day, making it difficult for me to sleep, that's why I'm so sleepy.
Yes, just a little sleepy.
He felt that he just wanted to sleep, otherwise why would his eyelids become so heavy, otherwise why would his lips be a little numb, otherwise how could he be caught up by these people.
The drowsiness became more and more intense, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and even he himself couldn't tell whether he was squinting or closed.
The rising sun shone on Fengyang City, and it also shone on his face.
He shook twice, then fell to the ground.
However, he did not roll down the stone steps.
With a muffled snap, the tail of the iron gun plunged heavily into the ground, helping him support his extremely tired body at the most dangerous moment.
Seeing this scene, those people who have never forgotten the benefits that Xiao Zhang brought to Fengyang City, some couldn't bear to watch it any longer, turned their heads away, and some stood up.
The first to stand up was a tea merchant in Fengyang County, and more than a dozen buddies in the tea shop.
"Protect Master Xiao!"
The tea merchant gritted his teeth and shouted, and led his men to the stone steps of Qibaozhai, stopped Xiao Zhang in front of him, took out the sword that usually protects him when selling tea, and even more The shoulder pole used to pick up the goods was aimed at the court masters who were getting closer.
As a tea merchant, it is inevitable that you will encounter some troubles when selling tea. In Fengyang County, there will inevitably be some conflicts among colleagues, but this tea merchant is aggressive, and the guys under him are also extremely tough. The city has quite a reputation, but how can they stop those court masters and the Divine Crossbow Battalion
But then, more tea merchants and people joined them.
The stone steps of Qibaozhai were soon full of people.
