high official

171 The Fall
As the sky was getting brighter, the police officers could already see each other's figure clearly, and they couldn't help but cheer up, and they chased after him through the mountains and forests.

Among the more than [-] people on the other side, not all were masters, and there were several cumbersomes among them, which required people to pull and drag them, and even run for their lives with their backs, which had a great impact on their speed.

Seeing that the two sides were getting closer, an extremely shocking scene happened. Those few staggering 'cumbents' broke free from their companions' hands, and rushed towards the arresters brandishing a knife, loudly saying: "Master, I will be loyal in the next life!"

These few people with no martial arts, armed with sharp knives, stand in front of the wolves and tigers, but they are not afraid, and their faces are full of generosity!
This is destined to be like a mantis' arms, in a blink of an eye, several people were knocked to the ground by the police, but they still looked like crazy tigers, completely disregarding their own lives.They hugged the catcher's legs, even tearing and biting, trying to stop the other party even for a moment, to buy a little time for the master.

The guards' calves were bitten off, and they screamed in pain.In desperation, I had no choice but to change my mind about catching people alive, and hacked and killed all these 'lunatics'... But those people who have no martial arts, but they don't know where the strength came from. Unable to break it apart, in the end he could only chop off his arm...

Ling Xiao couldn't watch this scene anymore, she was curled up tightly in Wang Xian's arms, if she took another look, her mind would definitely collapse...

Wang Xian also closed his eyes, the shock brought to him by these 'weak people' was stronger than that of the eight strong men yesterday, his heart has been strongly shaken...

Zhou Xin looked at this scene with a cold face, as if his heart was still, but his hands in his sleeves were clenched into fists, his nails were embedded in his flesh, and blood seeped into his nails...

.

In that compartment, the chase continued.

The police chased after the mantis arm blocking the car again, but this time the opponent only had one person on his back, and the speed was much faster, so that the two sides could not close the distance for a long time, and they chased each other further and further. After turning over a mountain ridge, a torrential river lay in front of them.

Zhou Xin took Wang Xian to the top of the mountain, looked at the river, saw several fast boats approaching, and said with a complicated expression: "It seems that they can't escape the river." It turned out that he had already arranged an ambush to outflank the opponent from the waterway .

Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly focused, and he saw several fast boats rowing out of the reeds by the river, and they rushed towards the river first.

Seeing the second fleet appear, the already desperate fugitives were overjoyed. Eight well-dressed men knelt down and kowtowed to the man on the back, impassionedly saying: "It's time for Chen Xiao to die!" The man with the purple face and several others clasped their fists and said, "You protect the master and go away, I will cover it later!"

The owner's long hair was disheveled, and his face could not be seen clearly, but tears had already soaked the purple-faced sweaty back.

But the purple-faced man smiled at the eight people: "You should be loyal in life, what good is it not to die? Brother, don't worry, the master still has us!"

The eight of them also laughed loudly, "Brother is the one who understands our feelings the most!"

"Then brothers, farewell or see you later." The purple-faced man nodded, then carried his master on his back and strode towards the reeds by the river.The other people nodded to the eight people, and said in a deep voice: "See you at the spring!" They quickly followed the purple-faced man and protected their master.

The eight people stood up, took up positions in the wilderness, and intercepted the pursuers.They are not the few powerless people in front of them, all of them are masters who have been selected by the emperor Taizu and ordered to be taught superb martial arts, and have been formed and cooperated for 30 years!
Those eight people were the same as them yesterday, but the situation yesterday was different from today.Yesterday, the eight righteous men were surrounded by heavy siege, and they couldn't escape. Although they refused to arrest them, they had no desire to kill... because they lived in seclusion in the mountains, listened to the morning bells of mountain temples, and watched the mountains and rivers. The resentment and murderousness of ten years ago.Since there is no grievance or enmity with those big Ming sons, and killing them is useless, why bother to commit crimes?There is no killing intent on the battlefield, no matter how high the martial arts are, it will be discounted...

But this time is different, in order to let the master out of danger, they have to kill people, so the seemingly same formation has exerted ten times the power!They were outnumbered and outnumbered like tigers into a pack of wolves, killing the catchers back again and again and suffering heavy losses.However, the catchers still relied on their superiority in numbers and divided their troops around the flanks to continue chasing!

This move hit the weakness of the eight masters, so they had no choice but to give up forming an formation and intercept and kill the officers and soldiers separately. Now they all fell into a dangerous situation with one enemy, but they stopped the arresters by the riverside.Intimidated by their majesty, even if the officers and soldiers bypassed them, they did not dare to continue chasing them. They could all see them, and there were several guards on the other side, so how could they dare to seek death...

On the river, there was a fierce fight between the two fast boats. The sailors and warriors on the boat shot arrows and threw spears at each other, but no one could do anything to each other. From time to time, some casualties fell into the water, and a mass of blood appeared on the river...

At this time, another small boat unexpectedly rowed out from the reeds, and while neither side was paying attention to it, it approached the shore silently.

The purple-faced man with his master on his back was hiding in the reeds, wading waist-deep in the water, saw the boatman on the boat, and shouted: "Come quickly!"

Hearing this sound, the boatman hurriedly rowed over, handed the oars to the man and said, "Hurry up and take the master aboard."

The big purple-faced man's martial arts skills are extremely high. With a person on his back, he climbed onto the boat with a little help. The rest of them watched around vigilantly and jumped onto the boat one after another when they saw no one approaching...

"Hurry up and save them!" The master finally said, pointing at the men who were surrounded by the river and fighting frantically.

"No, master! I don't care about them! Once the boat touches the shore, we won't be able to leave!" The purple-faced man persuaded, and ordered: "Old Zheng, let's go!"

"En." The boatman turned out to be Zheng Jiaoyu from the county, and he struggled to pole, and the fully loaded boat went down the river.

On the river, the officers and soldiers naturally saw this scene, but the militants who intercepted them were brave enough to die. The two sides were engaged in an extremely bloody hand-to-hand battle, and they couldn't find a single boat to pursue. They could only watch the boat go by. Far……

Wang Xian and Zhou Xin were also watching the target slip away. Zhou Niantai's demeanor was as usual. Although he was surprised by the change, it was not unacceptable.Because Pujiang County not only has people from the imperial court, but also the Zheng family and Youmingjiao, all of whom have the power to disrupt the situation!

Zhou Xin was even a little surprised, why did the other party come so late?

"They slipped away." Wang Xian said, feeling an indescribable relief in his heart, he actually prayed that the boat would sail into the vast sea and never come back.

"Walking or not." Zhou Xin said indifferently: "To be safe, Uncle Tang dispatched the Zhejiang Navy. No one can leave the Pujiang River by water."

"Your Excellency is wise..." Wang Xian's praise was a bit against his will.

"Not famous at all." Zhou Xin sighed, "Trouble lies later..."

.

On the river, the two fleets lost the meaning of fighting and finally separated.The fleet of unknown origins went down the river, and the ships of the official army came to the shore.Not only did the officers and soldiers fail to complete the task, but they also killed many people inexplicably. They were full of anger and naturally wanted to find someone to vent.

Their goal is the eight masters who got together again.The eight masters were very happy to see their master successfully escaped, even though they were already surrounded by the police, and there was no possibility of escape... and the officers and soldiers on the ship were holding strong bows, which was a nightmare for the masters.

"Retreat!" Zhou Yong gave the order to his opponent, and the arresters retreated backwards, widening the encirclement to avoid being accidentally injured by bows and arrows!
"Fire the arrows!" The officer on the ship yelled violently, and more than a dozen arrows shot at one person at the same time.The master was extremely exhausted, and he didn't have a shield or armor. Although he tried his best to block, he was still shot in the thigh by an arrow. With a muffled grunt, he stood still!
The second wave of bows and arrows came out again, and the police officers also threw short spears, simple knives and other weapons in coordination. The man was completely unstoppable, and died with several arrows in his body and wide-eyed anger...

Wang Xian couldn't bear to watch the ensuing killings, so he took Ling Xiao down the mountain first, and the song "A man's heart is as hard as iron" seemed to ring in his ears... But when he collected himself, the man's heart suddenly twitched Trembling, because he saw the direction of the county town, and there was thick smoke everywhere!

After a while, Zhou Xin also came down, and said with a livid face, "Something happened in the county!"

Wang Xian nodded heavily, and said in a harsh voice: "The lower official has neglected his duty..."

"This is the Zheng family's world, and there are Mingjiao thieves everywhere. If something happens, what's the use of your foreign classics?" Zhou Xin shook his head and said, "You should be glad you're not in the city."

But Wang Xian said bitterly: "My brother is still in the city..." Wu Wei, Shuai Hui and Er Hei were all in the county to help him maintain the situation...

"Life is a matter of life and death, don't be a child." Zhou Xin said in a deep voice: "You must be calm at this time." He said to the chief guard behind him: "Immediately send a letter to Uncle Tang, stop searching the mountains, and send troops immediately Enter Pujiang!"

"Yes." The chief guard was Zhou Tai, and he hurriedly wrote the letter and released the pigeon.

In that room, after the battle ended, all eight people were shot dead, and the officers and soldiers also suffered heavy losses. The five ships that came to support, with a total of [-] soldiers on board, were cut in half.Over a dozen of the [-] policemen died and dozens were injured... This is because the opponent mainly focused on blocking, not killing.

Leaving more than a dozen officers and soldiers to clean the battlefield in one boat, Zhou Xin took the rest of the four boats to the county seat.Along the way, I saw many civilian boats sailing away from the county seat. The people on board packed their bags, brought their families with them, and they were in full flight.

Zhou Xin had someone stop a civilian ship and asked what happened.The person on the boat said in panic: "The disaster victims suddenly changed their face, and under the banner of the Mingjiao, they occupied the county town! Then they opened warehouses to release grain, and looted rich people's houses!"

"Where is the county lord?" Wang Xian asked in a deep voice. It is said that none of the disaster victims live in the county seat. As long as the city gate is closed in time, relying on the people in the city and hundreds of brave villagers, the county seat should not fall so quickly...

"If you're drunk, what else can you do?" The other party smiled wryly, "When the incident happened, he was drunk at Zheng Jiaoyu's house..."
