Chapter 44

The fire was like a sharp knife, cutting the originally dark forest. Before I could walk out of the forest, I saw half of the sky reflected by the fire. After leaving the forest and down the hillside, it was Mianshui. Perhaps because of the water released by Fengzhangdi, the original river bank was no longer visible. Boats of all sizes were covered on the river surface, and surrounded the southern gate of Mianshui under the lights.

The sturdy black city gate had already broken and opened, and a steady stream of soldiers rushed into the city gate from the landing. The city tower was filled with people, a big flag spread out in the wind, and a powerful word "Zhou" could be seen under the fire - they had already broken through the southern city gate!

The noisy fighting sounds and roars of drums are very far away and very close.

In the water-colored fire, the largest warship was still on this shore. I leaped onto the ship with my breath, and the soldiers stopped me, recognized me, and quietly gave way. I walked to my head, and the tall general in bright armor turned his head: "General Zhan is awake?"

"Yes! General Zhou, how is the battle?" I walked behind him and looked at the Mianzhou City that was already broken into sieve.

"It's already something in my pocket." Zhou Fang smiled, and his eyes were powerful, "It only depends on whether the men can capture Du Zeng alive!"

I was overjoyed and said, "Qinghong would like to follow the soldiers into the city!"

Zhou Fang looked at me and laughed: "I asked you and Lin to rest in the forest and wait for good news. But Lin Fang said you will definitely not be able to stay there. Brother Lin, you really scored the credit for your confidant beloved general!"

I was stunned.

The man behind him slowly approached, his voice calming: "She is a little erratic, but she is indeed brave and fearless."

Is this a compliment or criticism? I stared at his clothes and my heart was in a moment of chaos.

He walked to Zhou Fang, looked at the firelight on the other side with Zhou Fang, and then turned to me and said, "Mianzhou City has been broken, and the soldiers have fought in the streets with the defenders in the city. Please stay."

Zhou Fang also said: "Two, please follow me to the city! Is Qinghong willing to protect me personally?"

I was excited, and I threw away my originally confused thoughts and nodded vigorously: "It was Qinghong's part of his affairs."

—————

It is said that I am protecting them, but I don’t need my protection at all. Zhou Fang has thirty guards, so he protects the three of us tightly. Although these thirty guards are definitely not as good as the master’s twenty-four guards, they are also solemn and killing with awesome momentum.

The boat was docked and we got off the boat. Without any obstruction from Du Jun, we passed through the city through the south city gate. The sky to the east was slightly white. From outside the south city gate to the county magistrate's mansion in the center of the city, there were only corpses and living Jin troops busy counting supplies and cleaning up the battlefield.

The black and red blood was all over the ground, either dry or fresh heat. We walked through the avenue in the city, and soldiers kept coming to report to Zhou Fang:

"Report--The West City Gate has been seized!"

"Report--Du Army in the inner city has fled to the north of the city!"

"Report--The East City Gate has been seized!"

"Report--Our army has surrounded the North City Gate from the north! Du's defeated army was surrounded on the North City Tower!"

...

The North City Gate was blocked - Du Zeng's last retreat, and the whole city was under the control of Zhou Fang. Even Zhou Fang, a famous general who had been in his life, couldn't help but look at Lin Fang with great enthusiasm.

"Report - discover the dog thief of Du Zeng!" The soldier covered in blood and dust fell to the ground, "There are hostages on their hands!"

Zhou Fang raised his eyebrows: "But our general was captured?" His voice suddenly cold, as if he was angry.

The soldier was silent for a moment and said without raising his head: "It's the leader of the martial arts world."

A thought emerged from my heart. For a while, I thought there was no hope, but at this moment I rekindled my confidence.

Is it Huo Yang or the sixth junior brother? Both groups of people have lost contact with us for a long time. I believe Huo Yang and others must be secretly hiding somewhere, but Junior Brother, Xiao Lan, Luo Wu and others were abandoned by Lin Fang and I on the way to escape. I am afraid there will be more and more dangers!

But no matter how I couldn't imagine Huo Yang being coerced, I told me intuition that the captured ones should be Junior Brother Six, Xiao Lan and others!

Thinking of this, I hurriedly said, "Is there a woman among the hostages?"

The soldier looked up at Zhou Fang, Zhou Fang nodded, and the soldier said to me: "There is indeed a woman." He looked at me and added: "It's the same size as General War."

Xiaolan!

I was immediately filled with joy and looked at Lin Fang anxiously. He turned to look at me, but there was no sadness or joy on his face.

Zhou Fang pondered for a moment: "Go and take a look!"

——————

It was already bright. There was a blue sky above my head, with flowing clouds flowing, and birds flew past the low altitude, fanning clean feathers. Contrast with this bright sky light, there was a quiet Mianzhou where the night of killing, withering and ruining, and blood corpses flowed.

On the way to the north city gate, broken and messy corpses could be seen everywhere. The wind whistled by, blowing the Zhou army battle flag inserted on the corpse whistling. There seemed to be only three colors of blue, red and gray in the sky, red and blood, and the gray were the city walls and living people.

The Fengzhangdi was captured, the Yangkou burned, and the entire Mianzhou city was under our control. The sound of fighting in all directions was already heard before dawn. There was only one place, this place was also silent, but the situation was tense. More than three thousand Zhou troops had surrounded the North City Tower from all directions. The Zhou army was exhausted but eager to try, and only wanted to vent its last anger on this small group of enemies who were breathing and celebrate the greatest victory of the Great Jin Dynasty against Du Zeng over the years.

But neither side could move.

Until our arrival.

Our group of more than 30 people came to more than 20 feet away from the North City Tower. We saw only more than 20 people standing on the watchtower of the city tower. Xiahou Ying and Qingyu led the soldiers to confront the people on the city tower. They were very happy to see us coming.

"I guess Du Zengwan didn't expect that one day he would fall into such a situation." Lin Fang said suddenly.

Master, Qingyu and others nodded and said yes.

Zhou Fang looked at the city tower without blinking his eyes, nodded when he heard this, and smiled contemptuously.

The observation deck had been smashed by huge rocks, and the surrounding city walls had already been knocked down, with only a bare platform, which made them almost unable to hide. I looked eagerly, and originally wanted to find Xiaolan and others, but was attracted by a figure. He was so shocking that when he fought there, it was a force of thousands of troops!

The tall general in black-clad black armor carried a huge knife and stood in the wind. Even though he was disheveled and his clothes were broken, he still had a terrifying power. So far away, I could even feel the oppression brought by him - I could do this even if I had internal strength, and I guess other soldiers would not dare to look directly at him with courage. No wonder they were so few people and could hold on the city tower for so long, it was not just because of the hostages in their hands?

Looking around him, my heart tightened! Eight familiar figures knelt on the ground in a row, and behind each of them was a famous man holding a big knife. Even though they were wearing prison clothes, some even lowered their heads, I could tell that they were the sixth junior brother, Xiao Lan, Luo Wu, and a few other soldiers under my command!

"Damn!" I cursed angrily, pulling out "Jue". The cold sword energy from the sword body passed through the hilt to my hand. The true energy in my body seemed to be shocked by the cold air, and it seemed to be about to squirt out. "Jue" instantly sounded thunder.

"Slow!" Lin Fang beside him suddenly shouted in a low voice. Then, a cold hand was pressed on my hand holding the hilt of the sword.

The master on the side turned to look at us, his lips moved, but he wanted to speak but stopped.

I slowly raised my head, his face was as deep as water, his eyes were like stars, and he looked at me calmly. In those eyes, there was my familiar firmness. And the cold hands, without any internal force, were not even strong enough, just gently pressed me and did not move.

"Leave it to me!" He suddenly lowered his head and lowered his voice and said in my ear. He was very close to him, and the soft black hair behind his ears even touched my face, just like his man, soft and firm.

My surging inner breath gradually subsided.

He let go of his hand, but I saw obvious compassion in his eyes. It turned out to be compassion? Super and desolate compassion?

He bowed to Zhou Fang and said calmly: "General, please be sure to rescue them! Even if Du Zeng is let go of this today, Lin Fang wishes to swear to you with the entire Jiangdong Wulin, and he will definitely chase Du Zeng from the ends of the world! He will definitely not live for three months!"

My calming mood was easily stirred up again by his sudden plea and promise.

Zhou Fang did not make any noise and stroked his beard.

Lin Fang quieted for a moment and said, "Xiahou Hero originally had twenty-four guards to help me pacify the martial arts world in Jiangdong. Now the twenty-four guards have been completely damaged. Over the past few days, Lin only saw that General Zhou's thirty guards could compete with the twenty-four guards in the past."

He suddenly said this, and everyone was a little confused. Zhou Fang looked at him quietly.

Lin Fang smiled: "Du Zeng's army has been completely destroyed in this battle. Even if Du Zeng does not die, it will be difficult to become grand in the future. Lin will definitely resign his position and go back to become the leader of the martial arts world. There are more than 30 escort agencies in Jiangzhou, and the annual operation is as huge as millions of dollars. Since the twenty-four guards have been lost, Lin has no one to manage so many escort agencies. I wonder if General Zhou's thirty guards can help Lin manage fifteen of them?"

Zhou Fang was silent for a moment, then suddenly stroked his beard and laughed: "General Lin knew that Zhou was short of money. He obviously wanted to support me, but he insisted on taking this opportunity and begged me to accept it! Wouldn't I take advantage of others' danger?"

Lin Fang smiled and said, "No! This escort agency was originally intended to give to General Zhou. Lin had only hesitated between the ten and fifteen families before. After all, it was tens of thousands of dollars, and Lin was not a generous person. He had just been with the general for several days, and Lin had figured it out. This world is the world of Jin, and the money of all people is naturally the money of Jin. Lin unified the martial arts world and was only willing to serve the country. Giving it to the general is also loyal to the emperor!"

Zhou Fang laughed and said, "Send the order and let Du Zeng release the people. I will let them leave the city to see how many days they can live!"

The commander ran towards the north city tower as he said.

I was immediately happy and heartbroken. Fifteen escort agencies! I originally thought Zhou Fang was a great hero, but the hero also wanted to have a meal. After looking at Lin Fang, Master and others, their faces were all light, without any reluctance to leave.

I pulled Lin Fang's sleeve-he didn't look back, but just let me snatch my sleeves, just as if I had been with each other naturally and intimately for many days.

I suddenly felt happy and rekindled my respect and reluctance to him.

Suddenly, I felt the embarrassment and chaos before and slapped the face. He was still my omnipotent leader, and I was his dog-legged confidant.

There is no love between men and women, no half-heartedness. There is only common goals and efforts - just like this, it will continue like this in the future, which is great!

"Ah!" A scream suddenly echoed throughout the North City Tower! I suddenly looked up, and on the city tower, a kneeling figure slowly fell to the ground - blood sprayed from his neck to the sky - and the neck was already headless! The soldier standing behind him kicked his body down with one kick, lowered his head, and licked the blood on the blade.

The soldiers who were originally sent by Zhou Fang to send the order to speak out our conditions before they could even speak up the city tower, but they were so scared that they stopped.

"The three armies retreated a hundred feet and prepared fifteen good horses at the North City Gate. Otherwise, we will kill them all and die together!" The person with deep internal strength said loudly on the city tower, and the voice instantly spread throughout the North City. Perhaps seeing that we had not agreed to their conditions for a long time, they were forced to make a fuss! They actually killed the killer!

At the same time, the soldiers standing behind Xiao Lan raised their swords high - it was their silent and cruel threat!

I could almost clearly see that Xiao Lan's thin body was trembling slightly...

Xiaolan!

I was very anxious - Du Zeng, Du Zeng, are you so aggressive when you are at the end of your journey? Looking closely, I saw Zhou Fang's face sternly, and blue veins burst out on his hands - Is Zhou Fang a threatened person? Du Zeng dares to threaten the three armies in such a situation?

"General Zhou! No!" Lin Fang hurriedly bowed!

"General Zhou, please see from the fact that they have contributed to the battle in Mianzhou in the past!" Even the master bowed down.

"Hmph--" Zhou Fang sneered three times, looking up at the black-armored general standing like a mountain on the city tower.

Qing Yu said proudly: "President Lin, Du Zeng is a big trouble for my great Jin Dynasty! I must not let him go today! In order to seize the Mianzhou city, our army also suffered more than 10,000 casualties! In recent years, more than 10,000 good people have been killed by Du Zeng? Today, even if the heroes under Lin sacrificed their lives for the country, they will die!"

Lin Fang was silent, even hesitating - is Du Zeng's life worthy of the lives of the sixth junior brother, Xiao Lan and others?

Lin Fang looked at me.

He said slowly: "General Qing said it. A few days ago, it was these people who guarded and sacrificed that Lin was able to escape the pursuit of Du Zeng and Zhao Guowei Hall and saved his life. However, when Lin Fang was appointed as the leader of the Jiangdong Wulin Alliance and served as General Mingwei of the court, he vowed that he would never abandon the lives of any companion!"

My sword was like lightning, kicking Qingyu's sword away, and the sword was already on Zhou Fang's neck. The master's powerful and powerful wind protected Lin Fang and blocked the swords of dozens of soldiers around him.

Zhou Fang's eyes widened, his face turned red, and he sneered: "Okay! OK! OK! General Lin, Zhou misjudged you, you actually took the imperial official hostage!"

"General Zhou, I only have the order of my subordinates!" Lin Fang said quietly, "and Du Zeng's head will be presented to you within three months!"

The situation is about to break out-

At this moment of life and death, I heard a sudden burst of exclamation on the city tower.

We couldn't help but look up, and saw that Du Zeng, who was under the city tower, all his eyes changed, and Du Zeng, who was originally standing, actually knelt on the ground.

Behind him was a man dressed in black as an ordinary Du Jun soldier, holding a big knife in his hand and pressing against his neck.

The man lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly, but could hear a word: "You kill me! Kill me and see if Du Zeng can survive in my hands!"
