The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 104
Zhu Xiu got up in a panic, grabbed a rock, and looked at it in panic, ready to support Shi Lingyan remotely at any time!

The masked man in gray robe wielded a simple sword like the wind, and his moves were vicious and cruel, and each move could kill someone.

Shi Lingyan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. His body is light and soft, his footwork is nimble, and his long whip is as agile as a snake. However, he lacks actual combat experience and has never experienced the test of life and death. It becomes increasingly difficult to deal with the fierce offensive of the masked man in gray robe. She was already dripping with sweat in a moment, and she clenched her teeth to hold on.

"Come here! Help! Help!" Zhu Xiu shouted anxiously, holding the stone tightly and preparing to throw it at any time.

Seeing the right opportunity, Zhu Xiu threw the stone at the masked man in gray robe.

The guy was cunning. He had been paying attention to Zhu Xiu's movements. When he saw him hiding aside and throwing stones, he swayed and used Shi Lingyan as a shield.

"Yan'er, be careful!" Zhu Xiu was startled and shouted a warning.

Shi Lingyan's feet slipped as she dodged. The masked man in gray robe seized the opportunity and hit Shi Lingyan's lower abdomen with the handle of the knife. The pain made her burst into tears. She groaned, covered her stomach and fell to her knees.

The man in gray robe immediately abandoned Shi Lingyan and rushed towards Zhu Xiu with a knife. Above the scarf, there was a pair of fierce eyes full of murderous intent!
Zhu Xiu felt cold in her heart, as if she was being stared at by a hungry wolf. She turned around and ran away, rushing into a small workshop with the door ajar.

"Stop!" The man in gray robe caught up with a knife.

The light in the earthen house was dim and there were many clutter. Zhu Xiu stumbled and fell to the ground. The man in gray robe had already caught up with him.

"Bah!~ Shi Kuangwei actually let you, a yellow-haired boy, be the deputy commander of the tooth. The Shi family deserves what they have today! It's time for the Zhang Yi Army to change their masters!"

The man in gray robe cursed, stepped forward and pointed the tip of his knife directly at Zhu Xiu.

Zhu Xiu immediately felt that this person's voice sounded familiar, before he had time to think about it, his face was covered with ashes, he clenched his trembling teeth, and crawled back little by little with his hands and feet.

There seemed to be a layer of white ash underneath him, and the smell was a bit off-putting.

The man in gray robe raised his knife and chopped it down hard!

Zhu Xiu subconsciously yelled in panic, grabbed a handful of white ash and threw it at the man in gray robe!

Hearing a cry of pain, the man in gray robe did not drop the knife in his hand. Instead, he staggered back a few steps, covered his eyes in panic, and cursed loudly.

Zhu Xiu was covered in cold sweat. She suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly got up and escaped from the earthen house. She fled inside to a small courtyard surrounded by low walls.

Opening his palms to look at them, and then sniffing them, Zhu Xiu suddenly said, "Lime!"

Looking around this dilapidated little yard, there is a pile of stones and a small amount of white soil piled in the corner. There is a small earthen kiln for calcining stones at the lower air outlet. It turns out to be a lime-burning workshop.

"You little bastard, I must kill you!"

The man in gray robe was blinded by the lime, and the sting was in unbearable pain. His eyes were red and swollen, tears could not stop flowing, and his vision was blurred and blocked. He staggered out of the earthen house with a knife, and could only vaguely see Zhu Xiu's figure.

Zhu Xiu picked up two stones and threw them at him hard, hitting his head and causing blood to flow from the center of his forehead.

"Little beast! I'll kill you!" The man in gray robe was furious and rushed towards him with a knife. Zhu Xiu was so frightened that she quickly ducked and ran away.

The man in gray robe stumbled to the ground, panting like an ox and cursing viciously.

Zhu Xiu looked around hurriedly. There was still half a bucket of water in a broken wooden bucket, and there was a pile of lime scattered in the earthen house.

"Little bastard! Where are you? Come out!" The man in gray robe yelled and got up, trying to open a pair of red and swollen eyes to look for Zhu Xiu.

It was getting darker and darker, and his vision was blurry, and he could only rely on noises to determine his direction.

Zhu Xiu picked up the bucket and rushed into the earthen house. He hurriedly picked up the lime with his hands and sprinkled it into the bucket.

Hearing the noise, the man in gray robe cursed and followed with a knife.

Zhu Xiu ducked and ducked to avoid the knife, picked up a bucket and hid around, using the debris everywhere in the earthen house to deal with the gray-robed man.

"Don't run! I'll chop you to death!" The man in gray robe cursed and chased after him.

Watching as the lime in the bucket slowly reacted with the water, a cotton-like micelle was formed. At the same time, it made a "popping" sound, hot airflow began to rise upward, and dense bubbles floated on the surface.Finally starting to react, Zhu Xiu burst into tears. The shoddy lime produced by this small workshop was the hope of saving his life!
With a loud shout, Zhu Xiu threw the broken barrel at the man in gray robe!
With a scream, the man in gray robe had no time to dodge and was splashed all over his face by a bucket of boiling lime solution!

The plain knife fell to the ground with a clang, and the man in gray robe screamed miserably and fell to the ground. His body struggled and twisted desperately. The exposed skin on his head, face, and neck was red, wrinkled and shed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a thick yellow blister appeared.

Zhu Xiu let out a long sigh of relief, threw away the bucket, picked up the simple knife, and leaned against the wall to pant.

Shi Lingyan ran into the house in panic, and the screams made her mistakenly think that Zhu Xiu was injured.

"I'm fine." Zhu Xiu forced a smile. Seeing that her face was pale, her hair was messy, and her round eyes were full of fear and worry, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

"What's wrong with him?" Shi Lingyan was surprised. The miserable situation of the man in gray robe at this moment was really horrifying.

Zhu Xiu sneered without further explanation, and tied up the hands and feet of the gray-robed man with Shi Lingyan, and they worked together to drag him out of the house.

The scalded skin of the gray-robed man began to turn black, and it hurt to the slightest touch.

"I want to see who you are!" Zhu Xiu pulled off his face towel, revealing a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek and a painful face with blue and black blisters.

Zhu Xiu was shocked and shouted angrily: "It's you, you bastard!"

Isn't this person none other than Chu Xing, Wei Hu's capable general and the fourth commander? !

Zhu Xiu didn't have much contact with him, but he was deeply impressed.

For no other reason than this guy's appearance is too impressive.

Of course, as the second-in-command of the Ya Army, Zhu Xiu would not judge people by their appearance, but Chu Xing had always had a bad reputation. On the battlefield in Yuanzhou, he had been greedy for the military honors of his fellow officers, which almost led to a fight between the two commanders.

Shi Kuangwei intended to deal with this person, but Wei Hu came forward to intercede.

Considering that he was quite brave in combat and was promoted by Wei Hu, Lao Shi did not punish him too severely.

When Zhu Xiu compiled the information of officers at all levels in the Ya Army, he focused on this person.

Even if a guy with bad behavior like this has some minor achievements, he cannot be reused too much, otherwise he will cause big trouble sooner or later.

But he never expected that Chu Xing would come to assassinate him!

"Who sent you here? The Xue family? Have you already taken refuge with Xue Xiuming?" Zhu Xiu asked angrily.

Chu Xing stared at him resentfully and gritted his teeth without answering.

"You bastard, you dare to stare at me?" Zhu Xiu was furious, punched and kicked him, picked up a wooden stick and beat him violently, making Chu Xing howl in agony.

"Young official!" Ma San's urgent voice sounded from the entrance of the alleyway. He and Chen An led a group of dental soldiers in a hurry.

"In my humble position, I saw that Young Master had not been to the south gate for a long time, so I went back to look for him. Hearing the noise, he came in a hurry. If I could not rescue him in time, please forgive me, Young Master!"

When Chen An learned that someone was attacking him on the way, he was horrified and knelt down on one knee.

"Get up! It has nothing to do with you!" Zhu Xiu gasped and threw away the broken stick, "Tie this man up and take him back to the house! Send someone to ask Wei Yashuai to come back and deal with it!"

Chen An unsheathed his sword and said viciously: "If Chu Xing dares to cause trouble, it's better to kill him with one blow!"

Ma San also nodded, holding a knife in both hands and said angrily: "As long as the official gives the order, I will chop off this guy's head!"

Zhu Xiu shook his head: "This person attacked me for unknown reasons and needs to be investigated. He belongs to Wei Hu, so we should leave it to Wei Hu."

Chen An nodded, put away his long knife, led his men to tie Chu Xing up tightly, passed a long pole through his hands and feet, and carried him back to Jiedu Mansion like a pig.
