Chapter 206 Walking in the Snow (5)

On the evening of the [-]rd day of the twelfth lunar month, at the Rabbit Garden Villa on the east side of Huanshui, the knights of the Dragon Gang took the lead.

Under the condition that the formed troops had successfully seized the upper and lower cities, they almost miraculously avoided the eyes and ears of the third and outer three floors of the escort team, went straight to the front of the annex, and then went to the weakest part of the annex. The surprise attack was launched suddenly and accurately at the right time, and there was a hand-to-hand encounter with the Jinyi Patrollers who were in charge of the security work.

However, even if they were caught off guard to this point, the attacked Jinyi Patrollers still maintained a certain kind of coping instinct under training.Amidst the shouts of killing, facing the vanguard cavalry who was leaping with red light all over their bodies, the patrol cavalry immediately drew their scimitars, and the leader, Li Qingchen with a black ribbon, used his true energy to take the initiative to meet them.

However, in the night, as the standard scimitars of the first two men intersected in mid-air, Li Qingchen, who was full of energy, only felt numbness in his arms, tightness in his chest, and almost black eyes, and then the scimitar in his hand was on the spot The collapse forced him to immediately bend down and hug the horse's head to hide, and took advantage of the situation to turn the horse's head and try to escape.

In the panic, the knights of the Dragon Clan behind him had already killed them.

And without Li Qingchen's reminder, the Jinyi Patrollers quickly realized that they couldn't possibly be the opponent's opponent, and then turned around and walked into the other hall to protect the completely stunned Cao Taishou...

It turned out that, at the first glance of the Jinyi Patrollers, although the true aura of the knights who dethroned the dragon gang was complicated, they were actually connected by a large silver-gray ice true energy, forming a whole indistinctly.

In other words, from the perspective of the officers and soldiers, the rebels of the Dragon Clan seemed to have been prepared for a long time, but as soon as they started, they immediately formed a successful formation.

In this case, the only correct response is to retreat as hard as possible, try to gather more practicing warriors, and then invite masters to form an formation and form an formation to deal with it.

In fact, Li Qingchen walked away in a panic, and as soon as he caught his breath, he immediately shouted loudly: "Retreat to the hall, look for Shen Zhushou, and form an formation to protect His Highness together! Don't rush to the enemy, and be broken by them!"

Having said that, the knights of the Dethrone Dragon Gang behind him had already galloped forward and killed them with all their might, and they continued to slash and kill under the lights of the opposite hall. The so-called gaining power is not forgiving. let go?

Long ago, there was a patrol rider in Jinyi who had just turned his horse's head, and was slashed with a knife, screaming and falling off his horse, life and death are impermanent.

The sudden and tragic death and injury greatly shocked the Jinyi Patrollers. At this moment of life and death, three or four riders had already chosen to obey the psychological fear because of the disadvantage here and the panic of being raided before, and defied the military order, turned around and fled to the side .

It was only a short while, when Zhang Xing, who was at his side filled with zhenqi, calmly urged the formation, and rode his horse forward for twenty or thirty steps, the patrolling riders of this group of more than ten people were in disarray and completely lost their combat power.Even Li Qingchen was caught up by Zhou Xingfan just because he gave the order loudly and delayed his escape from entering the other hall. While he was out of strength and lost his knife, he was easily captured alive, and he was forced to fall behind the horse on the frozen ice by his collar. dragged back.

The remaining two or three riders had no time to run. Seeing that Li Qingchen was captured and surrounded by the opponent's cavalry on both sides, Zhang Xing, the old boss, also appeared, so he simply dismounted and abandoned his sword, choosing to surrender.

But Zhang Xing didn't even look at these people, instead he yelled loudly on the spot: "Don't worry about the captives, quickly break your legs and throw them here, Li Twelve is also thrown here, and the whole group will continue to move forward. Directly rushing into the pavilion, Cao Wang is the most important point in this battle! Zhang Shizhao, Gao Jiang is next! Shen Ding is next!"

Everyone dared not neglect, and immediately acted in accordance with the military order.

Poor Li Twelve, his cultivation is actually not bad, at least he is not weaker than Xiao Zhou, and his reactions are all reasonable, and he can even be said to have dealt with it properly, with unabated courage.But at this moment, when faced with this offensive, he was really in a state of arrogance. He was actually dragged by the collar of the former team's juniors, and then two masters of the Dragon Gang went up to meet him, each with a knife on his back, and smashed it hard. For both legs, Fu made another cut in the abdomen, and threw them outside the annex.

Then he was lying on the ice and snow, watching those rebels surrounded his back, chasing Cao Wang, the prefect of Liang County, riding up the steps with broken steps, and entered the other hall.

If you want to kill a thief, but you are powerless, and even the thief is too lazy to look at you, there is nothing more resentful in life than this!
On the other side, Zhang Xing rode his horse into the other hall, and the inside was already in chaos, so he led the crowd to ride through the front hall and came to the huge screen wall in the front yard of the other hall.

The big leader was not polite, and with all his strength, he struck hard at the screen wall in front of him, and forcibly opened a hole in the screen wall with three layers of bricks. In an instant, the screen wall was completely toppled down.

After the shadow wall fell, Zhang Xing reined in his horse and stood in the center of the courtyard. Gradually getting familiar with the identity of the formation, the icy true aura on his body spread more and more endlessly, and he and the surrounding knights who were shining with all kinds of true aura There was a faint connection, and then condescending on the horse, commanding the surrounding knights to gallop back and forth in the courtyard, hunting endlessly.

Anyone with weapons, armor, and genuine qi flashing will swarm to kill, but those who come in groups from both sides will take them head-on.

As for those who surrendered, those who have no soldiers or armor, if there is room, they will use their true energy to transport their weapons as before, break their legs with the back of the knife, and throw them into the open space in the courtyard.

Of course, in the dark night, under the chaotic battle, there is indeed no lack of direct and one-shot disposal.

In a moment, there is a state of clearing the courtyard.

At the same time, the so-called Shen Zhushou and his big formation disappeared at all.

This was of course, Zhang Xing had already noticed where the big formation was, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped here.Even a hundred paces away, the lobby of the annex was clearly visible through a low wall. He didn't make any direct advances. Instead, he ordered the dozens of riders behind him to divide into two after clearing the courtyard. The courtyard controlled the situation; the other team got off their horses and gathered, and began to attack the wing rooms on both sides in order under the leadership of Zhou Xingfan and Jia Yue, and took the initiative to sweep.

But the short stay brought by this kind of raid could not at all ease the atmosphere in the lobby of the annex a hundred steps away, separated by a wall.

"Shen Zhushou!" Under the lights, Cao Wang, who was covered in snow slag and melted away, was about to go crazy. "Where are your people? Hurry up and lead the headquarters out to form an formation! The two eunuchs Luo and Xue entrusted you with the Zhonggong, and Li Twelve Lang risked his life to find a message for you. If the thief Zhang Xing If you push in like this, you and I will be the laughing stock of the world."

"Where are my people?" Shen Ding, who was wearing a red ribbon, turned around in a daze, and spread his hands.

"Where are your people, why are you asking me?" Cao Wang became more and more frustrated.

"Where are my people? My people are all in the wing rooms on both sides of the front yard, and the patrolmen left by Luo and Xue are also there." Shen Ding stomped his feet vigorously, his face suddenly changed. "Who do Junjun Cao think Zhang Xing is killing? What do you think he is doing there? He is attacking and killing my scouts! Stop them from joining me! It's as if he is stopping you from joining the troops outside. Same!"

Cao Wang was startled, but still couldn't help urging: "But haven't you already condensed the pill? Why don't you rush out and fight him to the death?"

Shen Ding was at a loss for words for a moment, but immediately asked: "What's the use of congealing the pill? Eunuch Cao said it himself, Zhang Xing's true energy overflowed and formed a formation, what can I do if I go out to condense the pill? Besides, Prefect Cao can also turn over from the side in the dark. Get out of the wall and contact the army, why don't you go?"

Cao Wang was speechless, why?Afraid of death!
Moreover, if someone else asked, he, Governor Cao, would still blush, but when Shen Ding asked, he just thought it was absurd—you are a condensed pill after all, and you are Zhu Shou from Jing'an Tower. Don't you even want a face?

In fact, it wasn't just the prefect Cao, but also the embarrassed patrol riders, servants, and officials beside him all looked sideways.

The two were staring at each other, when suddenly, a gust of fragrant wind flashed by, but it was a female officer dressed in men's clothing who flashed out with a knife boldly, and then, the queen, who had been alarmed by the noise before, also looked stern, and brought several female officers Quickly followed out.

The two people in front quickly turned around and bowed their heads.

Although the queen was nervous, she still maintained her posture, and just asked seriously: "What is the situation ahead? How did the thief get to the front of the hall? I heard the movement is a little quieter? How did you check the residences of the surrounding concubines? The little princesses Is there any reassurance? Have Zhang Xianggong and Gao Dugong notified you?"

The two wanted to speak, but for a moment they didn't know how to describe it, and they didn't know how to respond... In fact, so far, they didn't know how Zhang Xing appeared in the rabbit garden, and the reason why the movement was quiet was even more so. I dare not speak easily.

Seeing such a situation, it may be that they heard the part of the dispute between the two before. The male and female officer didn't bother to pay attention, and directly transported Duanjiang Zhenqi to the blade, and then swung the knife light and went out.

When he came outside the hall, the female official did not go to the door, but came to the corner of the courtyard wall, hid in the shadows, jumped slightly, and saw the corpses, wounded, and countless descendants piled up in the courtyard under the lights. In the courtyard, everyone gritted their teeth, hugged their legs and wailed bitterly, while the thief was sitting on the horse, majestic, spreading his true energy, pulling more than ten riders, and still directing the attack.

This female official came here as a scout, although she was frightened and angry, she still recognized the strength of the opponent and the formation, so she prepared to retreat and report to the queen.

But at this time, another side room not far from her was broken open, a familiar father-in-law of Beiya was pulled out by the hair, and at the same time, another female officer he knew was chased out, and he was dragged along with him The hair was pulled out, and under the shadow of the sword, the male and female officials couldn't bear it anymore, so they jumped down and swung a blade that was more than three feet long.

However, as soon as the sword light came out, it immediately aroused the vigilance of the thief leader in the courtyard. The latter pointed out his hand and gave an order, and dozens of horsemen swarmed over.

The female officer saw that these people were not proficient in sword-wielding movements immediately, and Ma Su couldn't lift up in the courtyard. What's more, these people saw her as only one person, and despised her in their hearts. On the contrary, he raised his strength and stood firm and unafraid. When the first rider was approaching, he suddenly dodged sideways, and at the same time he swung his saber to resist. With just one blow, the first pair of front legs of the first rider's mount were cut off at the same level.

Since the horse stumbled in the literal sense, the opponent fell down and hit the courtyard wall directly in front of him, and was kicked by the painful horse, and his life and death were unpredictable.

That's not counting, the female officer swung her saber again, ready to meet the second rider.

But as soon as the two sides fought, the female officer seemed to be struck by lightning, unable to stand, staggered back a few steps in the opposite direction, and then was pushed from behind by the still struggling hoofed horse, and the whole person turned over.Looking up again in the blood of the horse, he was completely desperate.Because behind the other party, the thieves general who was like the eye of the formation actually took the initiative to push forward and continued to maintain the tide of true energy in the formation.

Now that the formation is formed, how can one count as ten?

On the other side, since the female official hurt someone, how could the red-eyed thieves from the Dragon Gang be sympathetic to her? Seeing that she was at a loss, they immediately chopped her down with knives, and chopped her into flesh together with the stumbled horse in this courtyard. mud.

Zhang Xing looked at this place from a distance, and with a burst of warm breath rushing towards him, he was stunned for a moment, because he vaguely remembered that the female officer looked familiar, and he should have seen it in Xiyuan or Guanfengxing Hall that day, but at this time, the actual In fact, the two armies are at war, so how can these be taken into account?
What's more, as soon as he turned his head, he soon discovered a major goal of the trip—Gao Jiang also had his leg broken, and was dragged over, still staring at himself on the horse with wide eyes.

Zhang Xing was determined, and immediately came to ask: "Gao Dugong, where is Zhang Xianggong?"

Gao Jiang only twisted his neck, but lay on the ground without saying a word.

Zhang Xing didn't make things difficult for him, but just continued to wait.

After waiting for a while, as the surrounding rooms were plucked out, but there was no trace of Zhang Shizhao, the wounded man was also lifted up, and without wasting time, he immediately ordered to march again, preparing to rush into the front hall .

At the same time, he did not forget to let someone drag Gao Jiang up.

Gao Dugong finally spoke at this time, and snapped: "Zhang Ni! The queen's daughter, if you dare to disturb me today, you will be wrathed by the thunder of the imperial army!"

"It's as if if I don't disturb, the imperial army will let me go!" Zhang Xing immediately smiled at each other, then rode his horse to the back wall of the courtyard, reined in his horse again, and just raised his knife forward to signal.

The surrounding knights understood, stepped forward one after another, lined up in a row, each raised their scimitars, and burst out their true energy, and Zhang Xing did not hesitate, and released a large amount of silver-gray ice true energy in the middle, the true energy connected left and right, Formed a high wall of true energy that seemed to be breathing, and then followed Zhang Xing in the middle to slash forward slightly, and everyone also chopped down their scimitars in unison, driving the entire energy wall to suddenly rise and pounce, and the front The entire courtyard wall fell down.

Now that the courtyard wall is down, the noise outside is still getting louder, but the surrounding area is suddenly quiet.

Immediately, looking at the visible situation in the hall, Xiao Zhou, Jia Yue, the Lu Brothers, Guo Jingke, Zhang Jinshu, Huang Junhan and others dismounted instinctively regardless of their origins, and then rushed forward with flushed faces.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing, who was surrounded in the middle, did not dismount. Instead, he reined in his horse and brandished his saber while many people inside and outside the hall were stunned. They were also taken aback for a while before continuing to rush into the lobby just now, wrapped around them.

After entering the hall with a horse and sword, and controlling the situation from left to right, Zhang Xing looked around, his eyes swept over the astonished queen in front of him, Shen Ding with his eyes closed, and the middle-aged man in red robe beside Shen Ding. In a hurry, he dismounted immediately, but still maintained the sea of ​​zhenqi.

Then he only patted the yellow puma and drove the mount out of the door.

"Brother Shen..." Zhang Xing, holding the bloody scimitar, turned sideways to look seriously at Shen Ding. "Is the prefect Cao beside you?"

Shen Ding had to open his eyes, pursed his lips, and answered carefully: "Yes."

"Then have you congealed the pill?" Zhang Xing felt relieved and continued to ask.

"It's on that threshold..." Shen Ding replied in embarrassment. "It still doesn't fly smoothly."

Zhang Xing sighed, and was a little speechless for a while: "Our friendship, of course I know that you have only developed a foundation in copywriting during the ten years in the Black Tower. The so-called being an official is nothing to worry about on the battlefield, but Now that we have arrived at Ningdan, why should we go to the courtyard to have a fight? The two armies are fighting, and the female officer beside the queen dared to fight for her life, and many people were splashed with blood."

Shen Ding blushed, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in. Looking left and right, he saw the empress's mournful eyes in astonishment, and he also covered his face and said, "I have to protect Your Highness."

"You just said how should I deal with you now?" Zhang Xing held the saber in his hand, unable to ask further questions.

Shen Ding panicked, and reluctantly responded: "Zhang Sanlang, don't try to be quick, the queen has always been virtuous..."

"I'm talking about how to deal with Brother Shen!" Zhang Xing held the saber in one hand, and directly touched the opponent's chest with the other. "It's you!"

Shen Ding looked at Gao Jiang whose leg was broken, but was also speechless.

Zhang Xing sighed: "Forget it, I was promoted to Baishou that day, and it was the paperwork you ordered for me. It is a kind of kindness. You can go and go back to Dongdu... run away if you can't fly, don't get involved in this matter Already!"

Shen Ding looked at the queen, and answered with shame, "If you want to escape, I just left. The queen is here, and I must protect it..."

"But you are Ningdan, who will let you stand like this?" Zhang Xing was speechless. "If you want to stay, you have to break your legs, or even your arms, otherwise, you have to kill him with one knife."

Shen Ding was silent.

Zhang Xing was too lazy to get used to the opponent, so he took advantage of the turbulence of the sea of ​​zhenqi, raised the saber in his hand, and instinctively burst out the zhenqi to protect the opponent when he met the opponent. He just smashed the opponent's elbow hard with the back of the saber, and it actually worked. There was a scream, and the few leaders behind him didn't dare to neglect, they rushed forward and forcibly broke the opponent's limbs.

He controlled this person, but all the knights of the Dragon Clan had some indescribable expressions, because although the opponent's martial arts were low and his body protection was weak, he was really protecting his body, as if he was a real alchemy expert .

Frankly speaking, if Zhang Longtou hadn't led everyone to form a battle, no one would have known how to deal with such a "master" of condensing alchemy who neither fights nor surrenders nor runs away.

"Prefect Cao!" Zhang Xing watched as Shen Ding was dragged to one side, and turned to look at Cao Wang. "Where is Master Zhang?"

"I don't know." Cao Wang twisted his beard and turned his head sideways.

"Then why didn't Governor Cao leave?" Zhang Xing continued to ask.

"As a minister of the imperial court, how can you run away from the wind?" Cao Wang said solemnly. "What's more, the queen is here."

"But you don't know, are you the key tonight?" Zhang Xing was a little helpless. "At this time, climbing the wall, digging through the dog's hole, escaping, and commanding the troops outside can bring the situation back... Waiting here, isn't it just waiting to fall into my hands with the queen?"

Cao Wang was silent.

Zhang Xing finally shook his head, raised his hand and pointed, Jia Yue and others immediately stepped forward and broke the legs of the prefect Cao on the spot.

Fortunately, this one is finally not Congealing Pill, otherwise I will scare him to death.

However, even so, Zhang Xing was a little hard to say. He pointed to the several senior officials lying on the ground and pondered for a long time before looking at the queen who had been silent for a long time but had been peeked at countless times by everyone: "Your Highness, Forgive me for speaking bluntly, there are all such people in the court and in the localities, how can they manage politics well?"

The queen was silent for a moment, before she was about to speak for a long time.

But at this time, a person suddenly turned in from the corner door behind the queen's side, and Xiao Zhou who was guarding the door calmly answered in astonishment: "Zhang Sanlang, the Central Palace has never interfered in political affairs for more than ten years, and you are like this!" Ridiculous, did you mistake the wrong person?"

Zhang Xing stared at the person coldly, and the zhenqi he had just let go flowed out again, as if facing a formidable enemy, causing the temperature in the hall to drop sharply.

The man didn't panic at all, and didn't show any sincerity, he just walked to the side of the queen and calmly pointed his finger at himself: "Let's speak with conscience, the world is so chaotic now, and I, Zhang Shizhao, have to bear a little more responsibility than the queen." of."

Zhang Xing couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't break my leg, I'm just a piece of trash at the level of Qijing, and I'm more or less the Lord of Nanya, and my position is quite honorable." The man continued to walk to the side of the queen, blocking the way between the queen and Zhang Xing, and finally closed his eyes. Hands stop. "And getting older."

"Pull all the people with broken legs outside to the front of the hall." Zhang Xing nodded, turned around and gave instructions, then dropped the scimitar in his hand, but took two steps forward, calmly holding the opponent's hands. "What Zhang Gong taught is true, but he can't help but belittle himself, because everyone knows that if the affairs of the world are really to be blamed, the emperor must first be blamed. It is the sage who regards the world as a joke. Frustrated, Guanxi disintegrated, other places collapsed... As for the Queen and Zhang Gong, they are just on the side of the faint king, and they are regarded as implicated according to the laws of the Great Wei."

Zhang Shizhao felt the chill coming from the opponent's hand, and calmly asked: "So Zhang Sanlang wants to kill us?"

"No." Zhang Xing shook his head in response. "I just want to tell Mr. Zhang that when he is held accountable for his position and enjoyed wealth and honor by virtue of being a fool in the past, he should know that one day he will be trampled like dirt because of this. It is only natural... Killing is one thing, but the way is You chose it yourself, so you shouldn’t complain and make people laugh.”

Zhang Shizhao smiled: "If I answer your question, if I get to Jiangdu by chance in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive."

Zhang Xing also laughed.

And Zhang Shizhao suddenly said again: "It is true that the land is falling apart, but if you want to put the world in order, do you have to rely on these mobs? Zhang Sanlang, with all due respect, if the tide rises today, they will all be vigorous. Tomorrow the tide will fall, and they may not be on the ground." These few are quite... Do you believe it or not?"

"I believe." Zhang Xing repeatedly nodded. "And it's not just them, but how can I maintain my dignity when I encounter the tide? So Mr. Zhang, I have been educated, so I won't ridicule these few people, lest you say that I am in power and go crazy."

Zhang Shizhao laughed dryly, and wanted to speak again.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing took the first step and looked around at the leaders who hadn't reacted: "Mr. Zhang's words are sharp, we can't bear it, so hurry up and break his legs, and then seal his mouth!"

Zhang Shizhao was frightened, he quickly circulated his zhenqi, and wanted to withdraw his hands, but unexpectedly, the zhenqi in the opponent's hands continued continuously, as if he had been in the formation for half an hour, the zhenqi increased instead of diminishing, and he couldn't resist for a while.

PS: Good night everyone.
