When Liu Songping and Qi Wang fled with Wei Zhongxian, Li Zhao and his men immediately rode fast horses to chase, while the Guangping Prefecture's servants followed behind on foot. Logically, although these reinforcements were walking, they should have come after so long, right? If they arrived, they would definitely be able to relieve the dangers they were facing now.

Then why haven't they come yet? Didn't they get lost on the road? Didn't we mark it along the way? How far did we go? Li Zhao was so anxious because of confusion and reluctantly resisted Qi Wang's attack.

What he didn't know was that the officers from Guangping Prefecture had already arrived. At this moment, they were observing the battle between the people from the East Factory and the two Jinyiwei in the distance. However, strangely, even though they saw that the people from the East Factory had already fallen at a disadvantage in this battle, they still did not move.

"Mr. Bai? Those people from the East Factory may not be able to hold on. If we don't go up, it will be too late!" Under the shade of the tree, the leader of the service asked in a low voice to the middle-aged man next to him.

Mr. Bai is a close aide to the prefect. Everyone has already rumored privately. It is said that without Mr. Bai, the prefect's office will probably not be able to operate. Moreover, before leaving, the prefect had repeatedly reminded him that the errand was led by Mr. Bai and he must completely obey Mr. Bai's orders. Therefore, he did not dare to act rashly in front of this middle-aged scholar, and he respectfully obeyed his orders.

However, although Mr. Bai looks gentle, his personality is not pedantic, but he is very easy-going. Even his physical strength is very good at traveling, and he does not slow down the movement of these people. Therefore, he gets along with them all the way, and they all secretly admire him, feeling that Mr. Bai is indeed capable of becoming the right-hand man of the prefect.

After catching up, they kept hiding here and waiting for the order, but Mr. Bai never gave the order. Seeing that something was wrong, the leader had to stoop to ask.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Mr. Bai smiled slightly, and there was no sign of nervousness at all. "You can wait a little longer."

"But... I'm afraid it's too late to wait!" The big man was a little anxious, "The people from the East Factory could hardly stand it!"

"Isn't this quite good? I think I can still hold on." Mr. Bai glanced over there a few more times, but there was no intention of taking action.

"Sir, you don't often fight with others, right? The young men are already at the end of their strength and will worry about their lives at any time!" The big man was anxious, so his attitude was a little more intense. "Sir, let us go up and do it quickly. Now, while the people from the East Factory can still fight, we will work together to capture and kill the two evil thieves. Otherwise, if they lose later, we...we will probably be alone!"

"It's hard to support oneself? Why can't support oneself?" Mr. Bai's smile finally showed a little seriousness, "Who asked you to support it?"

"Uh...this..." The big man opened his eyes wide and looked at Mr. Bai in confusion. "Isn't this the prefect ordered us to help these people from the East Factory to catch those criminals?"

"Chief Qin? When did the magistrate say that they were Qin?" Mr. Bai calmly threw the action, "To arrest them, it was the work that the people from the East Factory wanted to do. The magistrate did not say that we must get involved..."

Is this going to watch from the wall and watch them kill each other? The man was shocked.

But since that's the case, why should we follow us? He was still a little confused.

"Okay, I know that that young man has hurt you. You are eager to take revenge, but some things are unhappy. Keep watching and keep watching." Mr. Bai smiled again, "If the Dongchang people win, let's go over and add icing on the cake."

Judging from his hidden meaning, if the people from Dongchang fail, then don’t care.

The big man wanted to say something else, but when he saw Mr. Bai's face, he didn't dare to say anything more. When they left the city, the prefect repeatedly told him to listen to Mr. Bai's orders. If he kept questioning, he might really make Mr. Bai angry, which would be a big problem.

Compared to this, the little hatred before, and even the life and death of people like Dongchang, is really nothing.

"Okay, Mr. Wei is the only one who follows the order." He bent down and bowed to Mr. Bai, "As long as the sir is ordered, no matter how many people are, they will definitely go and break through!

"You are so kind!" Mr. Bai laughed out loud, "Okay, don't worry, as long as I'm in the yamen for a day, your benefits will be indispensable!"

………………………………………

Of course, Li Zhao could not hear the conversation between these two people. He was now in a hurry in the endless offensive of Qi Wang, and was cursing in his heart why those servants hadn't come to help.

No matter what, he knew that he could not count on those people for the time being, and could only count on his subordinates who were stumbled towards him.

Let them help kill this young man. As long as they can kill this young man, the old man is now seriously injured, and can be easily removed later. Just hold on for a while, hold on for a while...

With this belief, he endured the severe pain in his hands and kept blocking it. Although he was struggling, he finally barely maintained his life. Then, he rubbed towards his subordinates little by little.

Step by step, although they were stumbled, they were getting closer and closer to them and safely escaped. Li Zhao began to let go a little bit.

However, perhaps because of the same discovery, Qi Wang's offensive became more and more urgent, and he kept slashing his head and abdomen, and even had the attitude of dying together. He didn't care about his own safety at all, and he had the momentum to exchange his life with Li Zhao for one life here.

How could Li Zhao change his name to such a person? Therefore, he only cares about defense and has no intention of fighting back at all, which makes him look even more and more embarrassed.

This short journey seemed to have been in Li Zhao's heart for half a lifetime, but in the end, he finally reached a place that was only a few steps away from his subordinates. The shouts of these people had been heard in a very detailed way, and it sounded like a fairy music at this moment.

"Kill him!" He paused heavily on the ground, then jumped back into the air, and pointed forward with the sword Xu.

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a soft hissing sound, as if it was a low sound, and as if it was a scream... He opened his eyes wide and turned his head to look back.

A sharp knife was jumping towards him quickly? The figure in the air became bigger and bigger. He wanted to avoid it, but he could not move. He could only watch the tip of the knife attacking him with great fear.

With a muffled "swish", Li Zhao, who had already jumped into their group of people, was stabbed by a knife from behind, and the blood also collapsed and poured on them.

Qi Wang was even more fiercely excited by the muffled sound. He shouted loudly, stepped on the ground heavily, then jumped and rushed towards Li Zhao. Then, he ignored the knife that was slashing at him, and slashed Li Zhao's arm with red eyes!

Qi Wang was stabbed on his back, but he cut off Li Zhao's right arm and the blood was reduced to his face, as if he had applied a layer of paint to him.

Qi Wang screamed again, then swung the knife back and waved it hard to force the person next to him back.

"Come on! Come on!" He laughed, raised his knife and pointed at the remaining people. "Come here and get to die!"

Looking all over his body with blood, he was shouting so wildly, shocking the enemies who were already shaken again. They hesitated and did not move anymore, and then looked at Li Zhao who was already lying on the ground.

Although his back was still slightly ups and downs, anyone could see that Li Zhao was dead after being injured so seriously.

"Come on! If I don't come, I'll come!" Qi Wang picked up the knife and walked a few steps towards them.

No one mustered up the courage to go forward and fight him. First, they turned around alone, and finally they rushed back together, fearing that they would fight with the god of killing again. They ran back desperately, ran to the side of the horse, then turned on the horse, ran without looking back, and no one paid attention to Li Zhao's life or death.

Qi Wang did not pursue, but just stood there with a knife, allowing others to leave. His head was very dizzy, and the wound on his back was still bleeding, almost as if he was about to faint. However, he still stood shakingly and walked towards the place where Li Zhao was lying down step by step.

"So amazing..." Not to mention the remaining Dongchang players, even the officers standing in the distance were shocked by Qi Wang's performance like a mad tiger. "I really don't know how to live or die!"

"Yes, these people from the East Factory really have no eyesight and have gotten into such a person." Mr. Bai was still very calm, as if he was not shocked at all. "Now that he has made such a fuss, it should be considered their unlucky..."

"Then...what should we do now, sir?" the strong man asked him hesitantly.

"What should we do? Since all the people in the East Factory have failed, why should we get involved again?" Mr. Bai smiled, "What, can you still want to go up and have another fight with him?"

"I don't dare!" The strong man waved his hand and denied it, "But...if we let go now, will the prefect... In addition, will the imperial court..."

"Don't speak so rudely, what's wrong with saying?" Mr. Bai still smiled, "I understand what you mean, but what are you worried about about this? You obeyed my orders, and no matter what, you would not blame you. The prefect blamed me for me. When the court blamed the prefect, there was a prefect, so how could you worry?"

Under Mr. Bai's reprimand of holding a gun and a stick, the strong man did not dare to ask any more questions. He bent down and nodded constantly, and he nodded no longer as majestic as he had just been a while ago.

"Then let's go back and submit the work now?" he asked tentatively again.

"Of course I'm back. If you don't leave at this time, when will you stay?" Mr. Bai made a gesture, then turned around and left, and the others hurriedly followed behind.

Li Zhao has now exhaled more and had less breath. The wounds on his chest and arms are bleeding, dyeing a large area of ​​land under him red. Because of the severe pain, he opened his mouth and exhaled like a fish caught on the shore. His broken arm was placed beside him, and his fingers were still trembling slightly.

Qi Wang walked to his side, but did not end him.

"Why... why haven't you done it yet..." When he found Qi Wang walking in, Li Zhao's eyes, which were already lost, finally had a little bit of energy. "Can't you...Isn't you happy?"

Qi Wang just looked at him, but still didn't take action. The madness just now had passed, and reason returned to his heart. Looking at the person who was on the verge of death in front of him, he suddenly felt that killing someone or being killed, all this was so absurd.

"If you don't kill you, you will die." After hesitating for a while, he whispered, "You want to kill me, so we kill you, it's not our fault, but don't worry, I will bury you later, and you won't let you expose your corpses in the wilderness..."

"Hahaha..." Li Zhao suddenly laughed, then kept coughing, and blood foam also poured out of his mouth, "Then I want...thank you more...but...but..."

"I don't have to thank you. But what?" Qi Wang asked in a low voice.

"Do you think you can do anything if you kill me...?" As the blood loss became more and more serious, Li Zhao's face became paler and his voice was very weak, almost as thin as a mosquito. "You...you can't escape, you just live a little longer... Hahahaha, thank you, thank you... Thank you..."

After a few words, the sound became lower and lower, and finally became silent.

Snowflakes fell beside them, as if the creatures were whimpering at the last time after leaving the world.

Qi Wang just stood quietly, looking at Li Zhao who was lying on the ground and seemed to be looking up at the sky, the snowflakes fell on him and quickly melted, mixing blood to make his clothes soaked. The cold air quickly replaced the blood that had burned before, making him suddenly feel like he was biting ice.

I don’t know how long it took, but he slowly recovered some energy and then reluctantly walked towards the direction where Liu Songping was.

Liu Songping has now been squatting on a stone, looking declining and listless, showing his fatigue. But if it weren't for the knife he threw out, maybe both of them would have died here.

Qi Wang walked to his side, then half-squatted down and hugged Liu Songping.

"Uncle San, I'm here to save you."

"Silly child." Liu Songping just smiled bitterly. "Help me up."

It was already late, the sky began to become half-light and not dark, and the weeds swayed in the cold wind became more and more like phantoms in the darkness.

Wei Zhongxian was still sitting in the place just now, rubbing his feet slowly, with a very focused expression, as if there was nothing to disturb him anymore. Although it was definitely not a good thing to be alone in the wilderness at this time, he was not uncomfortable at all.

The swaying grass became louder and louder, and finally, it suddenly separated next to him.

"Are you back?" Wei Zhongxian asked without raising his head.

"It's a burden to my father-in-law." Liu Songping apologized to Wei Zhongxian with a wry smile, "Sin, sin."

"It's okay, as long as you can come back!" Wei Zhongxian also laughed. "Get off early, I'll have to hurry up tomorrow!"

"Does my father-in-law still want to go to Fengyang?" Liu Songping was a little confused.

"Go, of course I went! The court asked our family to go. Has Chengshi taken back his life? Why didn't our family go?" Wei Zhongxian said without hesitation, "Besides, as today's big, where can our family go? But... you two don't have to follow our family, right? OK, let's part early."

Liu Songping and Qi Wang looked at each other. "Dadfather-in-law, I can't obey my duty!"

"Hmm? No?" Wei Zhongxian was a little surprised, "Now you have all come to this position, why are you still doing with our family? Don't you think you are still from the court, right?"

"Li Zhao's words are just one-sided words. The court did not come to order us to change the itinerary." Liu Songping said toughly, "Since that is the case, we naturally have to cheer up, do our previous errands and send our father-in-law there safely, and dare not slackew on any slackness."

"You...you..." Wei Zhongxian understood, and then couldn't help laughing, "It's all a bunch of despicable people! OK, okay, then I'll be the two of you. Our family is grateful to you."

"Thank you for your praise!" Liu Songping saluted him, "In addition, I have a reluctant request. Can my father-in-law give me what I promised to give me before? Don't worry, even if my father-in-law gives me first, I will never break my promise and will do my best to achieve my father-in-law's wish."

"No, don't say that, of course we believe in your character. We gave the little brother the things just now, but he just wanted them. If he wants to take them now, just take them with us." Wei Zhongxian took out the pieces of paper from his arms again, "You can take them. After we arrived in Fengyang, how can we use these external things?"

"Brother?" Liu Songping glanced at each other.

Under his gaze, Qi Wang hesitated to take the pages and put them into his arms.

Although he took the property according to Liu Songping's expectations, he still felt a sense of luck in his heart, hoping that the situation in the capital would not be as bad as Li Zhao said, and the Jinyiwei had not regarded them as traitors. They still had the chance to return to the capital and return to the place where their ancestors and parents worked.

How could the Ming Dynasty court, which has served for generations, be abandoned so easily?

"Uncle San, we exchanged these for blood and sweat. If you ask me to accept them, I will accept them, but... But we did not betray the Jinyiwei! I... I don't want to leave the Jinyiwei just like this, and then leave your hometown in hiding your name for a lifetime. At least try to see if you can go back?" Qi Wang asked Liu Songping, "How about this, when we send Eunuch Wei to Fengyang safely, we will leave there. Then Uncle San, you go to Jiangnan to wait for me first. I will go to the capital to explore the wind. If there is nothing to do, I will come back to pick you up and return to the Jinyiwei together. If there is really something wrong, I will come to find you again, and everyone will leave the secret..."
To be continued...
