Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 644 Hot Potatoes
Several men in black at the corner of the mountain guarded the captured horses, and paid attention to the situation in the direction of Xinxing County, so as to warn the brothers who attacked the mountain at any time. Call for a slice.

Several men in black wailed, clutched at the place where the arrow was shot, fell to the ground and died, and the rest of the people looked around in panic, but at this moment, Liu Deyong charged in with a seedling knife, and within a few stabs, He cut down the rest of the men in black, then held up the Miao Dao and shouted: "Kill!"

Since Liu Deyong was sent down to the government soldiers, it was rare for him to have such a chance to fight happily again. He immediately shouted, held his saber slanted, and took the lead.

On the stone steps halfway up the mountain, many men in black shouted in shock, "There is an enemy, and the government soldiers are coming!"

Zhu Yu'e's face changed, and several clan children beside him immediately rushed up to protect him.

In the past, Wang Yan and Su Guansheng stopped and reduced the clan salaries, and the king of Tang put his family wealth on the hall for the difficult clan to take.

These low-level clans loved Tang Wang and Yu Wang far more than Emperor Longwu.

"Your Highness, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. I will protect Your Highness to break through." More than a dozen Japanese soldiers immediately embraced Zhu Yu'e and rushed down.

On the other side, Xu Guixiang had just rushed to the front when he heard commotion behind him, he turned his head and saw a fire dragon appeared at the foot of the mountain, and he knew it was a disaster.

It was hard for Xu Guixiang to decide to go ashore, and it was hard for him to get on the line of King Tang. This first time he acted, he was dumped by someone, and his luck was unmatched.

They are now being attacked from two sides, and they have no chance.

"Withdraw!" At this moment, he stomped his feet in resentment. The sudden appearance of the government soldiers made him fail. He was angry and hated, and his teeth were gnashing loudly.

Just as Xu Guixiang yelled and turned around to retreat, a large group of men in black in front also rushed down. Seeing this, Lu Shikui, Zhang Yiming and others in front of the mountain gate immediately shouted, and the guards rushed out immediately, chasing after them. Abandon.

It has only been more than half a year since the Japanese army became an army. Although the elites selected for this operation are all elites, the elites of the Japanese army are at the level of government soldiers. Although the pirates are brave and desperate, most of them are brave individuals. Chaos, all chaos at once.

The stone steps were narrow, and as the guards rushed out, they suddenly fell into chaos.

At this time, the man in black who fell behind was constantly hacked and killed, while the one in the middle squeezed forward with all his strength, thinking that as long as he ran in the front, he would be able to escape.

At this time, Xu Guixiang could also see that if he was pushed down by the guards and retreated to the foot of the mountain, it would be impossible to organize a breakout, so he immediately scolded: "Bastard, you are only focusing on running forward, the people behind Get eaten, and you will be next."

This principle is very simple, and everyone understands it, but knowing and doing it is another matter. The clan children who praise the Japanese army don't like him at all, but he still has a lot of prestige among pirates. Gather over.

Xu Guixiang's body is as strong as a big bull, he held an iron gun and led more than a dozen bandits, and he turned back, unexpectedly many people followed him and killed them.

Standing on a high place, Lu Shikui saw the panic-stricken man in black suddenly seeming to calm down, so he noticed Xu Guixiang, he shot the horse first when he shot the man, and the king first when he captured the thief. Lu Shikui went straight to the bandit leader without hesitation.

One of the two pushed upwards, the other rushed downwards, and soon they encountered each other. Lu Shikui's saber flashed, as fast as lightning, and went straight to Xu Guixiang's chest. Only then did he realize that he quickly blocked it with his gun, and sparks flew out immediately.

Lu Shikui immediately changed the posture of the saber, and the blade slid against the barrel of the gun. Xu Guixiang immediately opened a gash in his arm, and blood gushed out, causing him to take a few steps back in shock.

As the saying goes, one inch is long, and one inch is strong. Lu Shikui is a master of the spear, so naturally he can't be allowed to distance himself, use the power of the big gun, and stick it in a few steps quickly, without giving the opponent a chance. The attack was so swift and violent that Xu Xianggui could only hastily raised his gun to block it.

Only the sound of "Dang Dang Dang" was heard, and the saber slashed six or seven times in an instant, and each cut was fiercer and faster than the previous one.

Xu Guixiang was forced to retreat steadily, his long spear could not be used at all, and even if he walked down the stairs normally, he would fall easily, let alone retreat backwards, he was not paying attention, his hind legs were empty, his huge body immediately became unstable, where is Lu Shikui? If he could miss such an opportunity, before he could stabilize his body, he immediately kicked him out, rolling him down the stone steps.

This rolling overwhelmed many people along the way, Xu Guixiang's body hit the stone steps, his head was bleeding immediately, and he rolled for twenty or thirty steps before stopping.

This time he also lost his gun, and felt dizzy and dizzy, but just as he managed to stand up, Lu Shikui had already chased him.

"Go to hell!" Xu Guixiang didn't have time to react, he only heard a loud roar, Lu Shikui held the handle of the knife with both hands, and slashed across his neck with a sharp "click", and the head flew up, Blood spurted out, splashing more than three feet high.

Lu Shikui kicked over the corpse, stepped forward to pick up the head, and immediately held it up high, "Father the bandit leader!"

In Xinxing County, Wang Yan's temporary resting house was still lit, and now his identity was no longer suitable for the front, and he could only wait for news from the Taoist temple in the rear.

When the cock crowed, Wang Yan was still reading by the candlelight. After a while, there was a commotion outside the courtyard. A moment later, a guard came outside and reported: "Master, General Lu is back. See you now, Master?"

Wang Yan closed "Zizhi Tongjian", stood up, and while going to get his robe, he ordered: "Bring him to the main hall, and the truth will come right away. Then you tell someone to prepare some food and bring it over."

The personal guards retreated, Wang Yan put on the python robe himself, and left the room. When he came to the lobby, several people were waiting, but the atmosphere was a bit weird.

Seeing this, Wang Yan frowned slightly, "What? Didn't things go well?"

Several people glanced at each other, and finally Lu Shikui came out and clasped his fists and said, "Report to my lord, the culprits who besieged Yunfeng Temple were either killed or arrested, and no one was missed."

"Then why do you have such expressions!" Wang Yan sat down on the chief seat and asked doubtfully.

Lu Shikui didn't know what to say, so he could only clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency, just look at the captured people and you'll know."

After hearing this, Wang Yan couldn't help but sit up straight, "Bring it up."

After a while, a young man was brought into the main hall. Although he looked a bit embarrassed, he was not tied up. Wang Yan glanced at him, was slightly taken aback, and said in a voiceless voice, "King Yu?"

This was a bit beyond his expectation. Once the seeds of suspicion are planted in people's hearts, they will slowly germinate and grow. Emperor Longwu is like this, and so is Wang Yan.

This time, the first thing he suspected was the emperor, but unexpectedly it was King Yu.

Wang Yan thought about it for a while, and combined with the information he had received before, he understood that the Ming Dynasty had just come out of the danger of subjugation, and the struggles of various factions immediately surfaced. He and the emperor, King Tang, King Yu, and Su Guansheng also got involved.

Wang Yan wondered if it was time to have a good talk with them.

Wang Yan raised his eyes to look at King Yu, this is really a hot potato, but Wang Yan is also very fortunate that he is not the emperor's person, otherwise he will really tear his face completely.
