Horse on the World

Chapter 677
Li Zonghua suddenly reined in the galloping horse's hooves forcefully, stopped suddenly and made the horse neigh, and stood up. The twenty or so people who followed Li Zonghua were all old people who were in the shadows of Li Zonghua, and they were also extremely experienced. When Li Zonghua stopped, they all stopped too.

"The smell of blood!" A middle-aged man who was following Li Zonghua said in amazement.Although the smell of blood wafting in the air was extremely faint, it was easy for people like them to distinguish it.

"Something happened!" The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and pulled out the saber in his waist, but buckled two throwing knives with the other hand, "We have all entered Laoye Ridge, our people should stay behind to lead the way or report the news, but None of them have appeared so far, I'm afraid they..." The middle-aged man stopped and looked at Li Zonghua, "There are more than 100 of them, how come?"

Li Zonghua stared at the silent front, his hands were bruised.

"Shaolin, go and see!"

"Yes!" The middle-aged man responded, lifted the reins of the horse, and walked forward slowly. His eagle-like eyes scanned both sides, and he rode the horse cautiously.

After crossing a ridge in front of him, Li Shaolin's eyes suddenly widened. There were bloodstains everywhere in the grass and under the big trees, and dead bodies were scattered all over the ground.

The sound of clanging suddenly resounded through the forest, feathered arrows shot out like locusts, Li Shaolin reacted very quickly, shouted, the man flew upside down from the horse, landed steadily on the ground, tiptoeed, Stepped back a little further.At this moment, his war horse had been shot into a thorn, and it wailed and fell from the ridge.

Two swishing arrows flew towards Li Shaolin.The speed of the arrow was extremely fast, almost as soon as the sound of the string was heard, the feather arrow came in front of him, and his body suddenly fell to one side. Just let it deflect slightly, and shot into the left arm with a chirp.

Li Shaolin screamed, and his body accelerated back, and within a few ups and downs, he retreated to Li Zonghua's side.

"There is an ambush, Dean, they are all dead, all dead!" Li Shaolin shouted.The blood on the arm instantly soaked the sleeve.With a bang, more than twenty riders immediately formed a circle, surrounding Li Zonghua and the injured Li Shaolin. One of them galloped forward, quickly tore off two cloth belts to strangle the two ends of Li Shaolin's injured part, and then pulled out the wounded Li Shaolin. He drew out a small knife, cut off the arrow that passed through his arm with a sound of cracking, "Hold it!" He said in a low voice, stretched out his hand to hold the arrow feather, and pulled it out suddenly, Li Shaolin's mouth opened silently, The man threw away the arrow shaft in his hand, and immediately wrapped the wound with cloth strips, his movements were extremely quick.

On both sides of the road, among the trees, on top of the big trees, dozens of people suddenly appeared. Dozens of long bows were drawn. Zhong Ziqi, accompanied by Xu Siyu, appeared in front of Li Zonghua.

"Zhong Ziqi, it really is you!" Li Zonghua said coldly.

"Dean Li did not disappoint me, he came fast enough!" Zhong Ziqi clapped his hands lightly.

"Hand over Shang Haibo, and I can still let you go!" Li Zonghua said.

Zhong Ziqi looked up to the sky, "Today's weather is really nice!"

"Zhong Ziqi, don't forget, you are still standing on our Dingzhou territory, handing over Shang Haibo, I can let the past go and let you go!" Li Zonghua held back his anger.

Zhong Ziqi smiled faintly, "Dean Li, you have let me down again. Now I am strong and you are weak, so what if I am in your territory? Now I have the right to speak, and you can only listen. "

"Based on your strength, you think that the victory is in your hands, and you think too highly of yourself?" Li Shaolin said angrily.

"Is it okay, I know!" Zhong Ziqi shrugged, "Since I am standing here, it certainly shows that I am absolutely sure! Dean Li, what do you think?"

"Zhong Ziqi, do you want to start a war between us? Don't forget, we taught you a lesson just now in Weizhou!" Li Zonghua sneered.

Zhong Ziqi waved his hands wildly, "Don't say that, how could this little friction between us lead to a war! Besides, there is no third party here except us, I don't think others will know it? "

Li Zonghua's heart skipped a beat, and the tone of the other party's words was self-evident.

"Where's Shang Haibo?" He asked again, making several gestures quietly at the same time.

Zhong Ziqi laughed, "Dean Li, I have already answered you once."

"You answered what you asked!"

"That's why you asked the wrong person!" Zhong Ziqi shook his head and said, "Dean Li, you're in the wrong direction. Shang Haibo's disappearance has nothing to do with me."

"It has nothing to do with you?" Li Zonghua narrowed his eyes, "Why did you appear here? Also, why did you kill my subordinates? There is no big conspiracy, you will take the risk of gathering so many subordinates here ?”

Zhong Ziqi laughed and said: "I didn't kidnap Shang Haibo, my target is not him. This action is just a temporary plan after I heard that Shang Haibo disappeared, who is the target, hahaha, Far away in the sky, close in front of your eyes, is you, President Li, how can I attract you here without reason?"

Li Zonghua's heart tightened slowly, "You want to deal with me?"

Unexpectedly, Zhong Ziqi said: "I don't want to deal with you, but I want to ask you for a word."

"A single sentence is worth your attention?"

"It's not too big!" Zhong Ziqi laughed, "As long as Dean Li answers one of my questions frankly, I'll let you go immediately!"

"Li can leave as soon as he wants, why not let him go? Your tone is too loud!" Li Zonghua sneered.

"Brother Li, both of us are old people in this industry, and you know me well, so how could I say such a thing without absolute certainty?"

Li Zonghua laughed, "Absolutely sure? Don't forget, you were captured alive by us in Dingzhou. If it weren't for the magnanimity of the commander-in-chief, your bones would be ashes now."

Zhong Ziqi's complexion changed slightly, and he returned to normal in an instant, "It was planted in the hands of that girl Qingfeng, you are not her, and, Brother Li, your heart is disturbed now, Shang Haibo's disappearance made you lose your position, Otherwise, you won't easily fall into my trap. Brother Li, I'm just begging you for a word. You've been here for a long time, and Yuan Fang's end has disappeared without a trace. That end is light on the other end. Heavy, you can tell the difference!"

Li Zonghua took a deep breath: "What do you want to ask me?"

"Okay, happy, what did Li Qing ask Deng Peng to do?" Zhong Ziqi stared at Li Zonghua with piercing eyes, "In order to get Deng Peng to withdraw, Li Qing did not hesitate to start a war in Weizhou. What is he planning?"

"No comment!" Li Zonghua flatly refused. "Let's go!" Li Zonghua turned his horse around.

Zhong Ziqi sneered, "It's easy to come, but it's not so easy to go!"

With a wave of his hand, there was a swishing sound, and a rain of arrows flew towards him.

When Li Zonghua categorically refused, more than a dozen people under his command rushed forward, while the other ten people hugged Li Zonghua and retreated. Xu Siyu stopped shouting and flew down from the ridge. Immediately melee together.

Li Zonghua didn't look back at the battle situation behind him at all, so he hit the horse and walked back.

A faint red shadow flitted across the front, and the two knights at the front fell off their horses without making a sound. The two horses who had lost their master hissed and rushed forward. The red shadow flashed again, The two horses immediately fell to the ground, lying across the road, and the horses behind almost collided with each other. The road was in chaos, Li Zonghua stopped suddenly, the red shadow flashed twice, and flew back, there was already one more person on the road , with one leg long and the other short, holding a red snake-shaped bifurcated sword in his hand, standing proudly in the middle of the road.

"Dean Li, please stop!"

"Zhou Yu!" Li Zonghua's pupils shrank.

"Exactly!" Zhou Xia raised the red sword in his hand.

"Kill!" The two people in front of Li Zonghua yelled loudly, shattered their horses and rushed forward, holding the steel knife in their hands, and fired the crossbow in the other hand without hesitation. If the opponent pushes back, it can create an opportunity for Li Zonghua to escape.Zhou Yu is the number one killer under Zhong Ziqi's command. He has always been a god-dragon, and outsiders know his name, but very few people see his true face. It is unexpected that such a lame man is known for his assassination. The invisible master.

Li Zonghua rushed forward without hesitation. He knew that today was going to be troublesome. Both Xu Siyu and Zhou Yu's martial arts were better than his. Protrude immediately, as long as any one of them entangles me, there is no chance of getting away.

The sound of gold and iron clashing resounded again and again, and the two knights in front fell off their horses, but immediately jumped up. Just as the two sides fought, the horses under the crotch of the two were stabbed to death by Zhou Yu, and the two were also extremely agile. , quickly jumped up from the horse, so as not to be overwhelmed by the fallen horse. At this moment, Zhou Yu and Li Zonghua had already fought together.

The sound of ding ding resounded again and again, Zhou Yu's snake-shaped sword stabbed out countless times in a short time, and Li Zonghua's steel knife danced like a windmill, blocking his opponent.Although Zhou Yu's legs are flawed, his lightness kung fu is really powerful, and he circles around like a shadow, making it impossible for people to catch his real body, and he dare not fire the crossbow in his hand at this moment. .

"Old Zhou, I'll help you!" Xu Siyu shouted from behind, "Li Zonghua, you can't leave!"

The sound of the steel knife piercing the wind behind him was so strong that Li Zonghua felt a chill in his heart.

Front and rear, left and right, screams kept ringing, people fell to the ground from time to time, and Li Zonghua's men were rapidly decreasing.Zhong Ziqi sat down on the slope with a smile. Li Zonghua was already the soft-shelled turtle, and he couldn't run away.

In Qingyang County, the Flying Eagle Division led by Sun Zewu has arrived.

"Have you found out where they are hiding?" Sun Jinzewu asked impatiently just as he jumped off his horse.

Qian Lai greeted him bluntly, "General Sun, I figured it out, I figured it out." Speaking of money, he was an anomaly. After Qingyang passed, the soldiers under the command of Qingyang garrison ran away completely, and he wanted to run away as a bare commander, but the Dingzhou infantry came very quickly, packed up the gold and silver, and brought the beautiful girl When he was about to run away, he was blocked. He thought he was going to die, but he did not expect that Li Qing would build an offensive bridgehead in Minzhou. This Lord Qian Duo is a local tyrant and has experience as an official. Of course, he was favored and became the county magistrate of the Dingzhou Army in Qingyang. Of course, since Qingyang is under the military control, this county magistrate didn't have much to do, mainly doing chores for the garrison here and maintaining law and order. That's all.Even so, this Lord Qian Duoqian is still satisfied, not only did he not lose his life, but he still has an official job. The veteran Lao An who accompanied him to the end has now become his right-hand man, taking charge of the three The class yamen servants, the two of them were a blessing in disguise.
