On Jingzhou City.

Thick smoke billowed into the sky, and the air was filled with a pungent smell.

Xi Kangsheng raised his whip and stood at the city gate, looking coldly at Da Xi who quickly climbed down the city wall.

If Li Chengzhi is still alive, even if he has only one breath left, he should be carried to see him for the last time...

Thinking of this, Xi Kangsheng's face turned livid.

"Guard..."

As soon as Da Xi opened his mouth, Xi Kangsheng raised his hand and whipped the whip. With a whistling sound, the whip hit Da Xi's helmet heavily.

Da Xi felt a buzzing in his ears, and stars were flying in front of his eyes. He couldn't help but fall backwards, until his back hit the ladder, and he could barely stand still.

The generals were shocked: Is this your biological son?

Don't think it's just a whip, you have to see who whipped it first.

When Xi Kangsheng was young, he was praised by the late Emperor Xiaowen as the most brave in the world. What is surprising is that no one from the Southern Dynasties in the south to Rouran in the north, Tuguxi and Gaochang in the west and Goguryeo in the east dared to be unconvinced, let alone say

I can be braver than Xi Kangsheng.

Just because Xi Kangsheng's reputation as "the bravest in the world" was achieved with one knife and one shot.

He even used a three-stone bow when riding a horse, and the arrows were specially made iron arrows. They weighed more than a kilogram, could shoot sixty or seventy feet, and could penetrate a horse within a hundred paces.

If it was a foot battle, the foot bow used by Xi Kangsheng was seven feet (two meters) long, and the arrows were directly from three crossbows, and the arrow shafts were about an inch thick.

It's not an exaggeration. If Daxi hadn't worn a helmet, the whip might have cracked his skull...

"Father..." Da Xi was so horrified that he even forgot to call him official.

"Grandpa asked you to be controlled by Li Chengzhi, not to obey him in everything... If Li Chengzhi rebels, wouldn't you stop him... As stupid as a pig... Ignorant... A good talent has failed like this

In the hands of young people?"

I don’t know whether the “little guy” he was scolding was Liu Huizhen or Hu Shichang, but the more he scolded, the angrier he became, and he even picked up the riding crop again.

Da Xi was so frightened that his heart beat wildly.

He had personally seen his father whip someone to death with a riding crop.

Before the whip came down, he hugged his helmet and ran away. As smart as a monkey, he ran up the ladder in the blink of an eye. He shouted anxiously: "My father... is not dead... Li Chengzhi is not dead."

..."

Xi Kang was startled.

Li Chengzhi is not dead?

Isn't it already "burning with fire and no one can get close to the wall", and even more so "the sound of killing is shaking the sky"?

How did Li Chengzhi survive such a desperate situation?

Zhang Jingzhi asked anxiously: "Chengzhi is seriously injured?"

Seriously injured?

Da Xi curled his lips: "It's just a bit of skin burn... Well, at most it's just a few ribs bruised by the crossbow arrows through the armor..."

Just burned your skin?

The anger that had just subsided for a while seemed to have been poured with fire oil, and it suddenly came back again.

Xi Kangsheng cursed angrily: "Since he is not dead, why don't you come to see me? Do you still want me to invite him?"

"Guard and calm down!" Da Xi quickly explained, "Li Chengzhi had already lost his strength and passed out..."

After talking for a while, as if he was still frightened, Da Xi shuddered involuntarily: "Not to mention those who were burned to death, there were more than 20 thieves who were killed by Li Chengzhi's sword, and all of them seemed to belong to the same family.

Such a strong man...

Even his subordinates couldn't figure out how he managed to kill all the enemy thieves and capture the thieves chief alive in such a desperate situation, and still remain unscathed?"

Xi Kangsheng's leopard eyes bulged wildly: More than twenty thieves as strong as Da Xi were all killed by Li Chengzhi's sword, and they also had weapons as sharp as crossbows?

And Li Chengzhi might have broken a few ribs at most?

What are you talking about? Isn't this more fierce than me teasing someone?

"Where are the people?"

Xi Kangsheng roared, jumped off his horse, and climbed up the ladder.

Da Xi quickly ran towards the wall, got out of the way, pointed to the wall and said, "It's right here!"

Xi Kangsheng took a look and saw five or six steps away, dozens of tall men with bare backs and wearing only a pair of calf-nose trousers, firmly protecting Li Chengzhi in the middle.

I saw everyone holding a bow and a sword, with murderous intentions in their eyes. Even when they saw Xi Kangsheng, there was no sign of restraint or retreat.

Da Xi sighed sadly, leaned into Xi Kangsheng's ear and explained: "The fire on the wall was too big at that time, and the felt armor on the white-armored soldiers ignited when it saw the fire. These personal guards took off all their clothes in a hurry and tried to jump into the fire to rescue them.

Li Chengzhi was blocked by Hu Shichang, and the two sides almost came to blows... After all this delay, nothing was done to help..."

Xi Kangsheng's heart moved slightly.

Is there really any kind of general and any kind of soldier, knowing that he will jump into a pit of fire?

It is fire oil that burns instantly like maggots attached to bones and cannot be extinguished with water. If a person jumps in, how can he still survive?

Xi Kangsheng didn’t know whether to praise them for their loyalty or courage, or scold them for being hopelessly stupid?

Da Xi took a step forward and stared at Li Rui coldly.

Li Rui seemed to be a dead person, his eyes were lifeless, and his heart was as gray as ashes.

His mind was filled with images of Li Song, Li Liang, Li Feng, Li Shi, and even Li Zhang, Li Xian and others giving him various instructions before the night escape from Baijiaying: Even if the clan members die, they must still protect him.

Lang Jun is safe...

But what about in the end?

Li Rui couldn't wait to pull Hu Shichang's body over and cut him into pieces in front of Lang Jun.

Seeing him gnashing his teeth, it seemed as if he was seeing the enemy who killed his father, and Daxi yelled: "Li Rui?"

This is Xi Zhengshou, not Hu Shichang...

Xi Kangsheng's eyes were slightly cold: "The failure to protect the Lord caused the Lord to die. Even if you are killed, it will be difficult to forgive his crime..."

Da Xi was surprised.

If these dozens of people die again, will Li Chengzhi’s clan really be wiped out?

He had just asked for mercy when he suddenly heard Xi Kangsheng yell: "Pull him down, one person will be punished with a hundred lashes, and the general will be punished with two hundred..."

Da Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't even spit out a clear breath. Seeing that dozens of personal guards, including Li Rui, were stunned and motionless, Da Xi was so anxious that he was furious.

The guard is on top of the fire. If he is really angry, it will be easier to kill you than to kill a chicken...

"Are you deaf?" He cursed, then went up and kicked Li Rui.

"A bunch of idiots, why don't you go down and be punished?" Zhang Jingzhi, who followed him up the city wall, cursed angrily.

Only then did Li Rui's eyes feel alive, like an overturned spout, and tears fell straight down.

He threw himself to the ground and kowtowed three times. He didn't know who he was kowtowing to. When he raised his head, blood was already visible on his forehead.

As Li Rui moved, the guards stepped back and let Li Chengzhi out.

Xi Kangsheng finally saw the complete Li Chengzhi...

The armor has been removed and almost stripped naked. As Da Xi said, except for the head and arms, there are several burns. Only the chest, back, and legs can be seen with a few black spots, which should be crossbow arrows.

The force penetrates the armor.

The injury was not serious, but looking at the armor that had been peeled off, everyone in sight took a breath.

There are more than ten crossbow arrows stuck on it, like hedgehogs.

They are all experienced in battles. You don’t need to look at it to know that the arrow has penetrated the first layer of armor, so there is an arrow remaining on the armor. Can you see the power of the crossbow held by the thief?

In addition, the armor is full of fresh cuts and scratches, and several places have been dented, obviously from heavy weapons such as axes.

Look at the soft cloth lining again. It looks like it was fished out of blood. There is almost no dry place... This is how brutal the killing was. How many people did Li Chengzhi kill before he was so contaminated?

blood?

Is it just killing until you lose strength and faint?

Li Chengzhi was afraid that he had not slept for several days and nights, and he had been fighting hard since the early morning of yesterday. For a whole period, his nerves collapsed tighter than a fully drawn bowstring. In addition to this fierce battle, his energy and blood did not collapse, and he died suddenly on the spot.

It’s all God’s blessing...

It's also strange. I just heard that Li Chengzhi has an outstanding appearance, is extremely intelligent, and has such novel skills in training soldiers and making armor, but I never knew that his own martial arts skills were so superb?

Xi Kangsheng, who is praised as the bravest in the world, is that all, right?

Looking at Li Chengzhi lying on the ground with his eyes closed and his face sallow, Xi Kangsheng asked angrily: "Why don't you carry him to the hospital for treatment?"

Da Xi looked at Zhang Jingzhi with a hint of weirdness: "When he was about to fall into coma, Li Chengzhi told him that if Zhang Sima was not seen, no one would be allowed to come within ten feet of him..."

Xi Kangsheng's eyes bulged and he almost cursed.
