Chapter 1297 Killing Shen Lie
The traces of the mountains are in a mess, and the more north you go, the more chaotic, there are everywhere in all directions.

Both Shen Lie and Xie Zhong thought that the headless flies who had lost their backbone in the south would flee in all directions, but unexpectedly they headed southeast together.

On the contrary, the group of soldiers and horses going north was in disarray.

After searching northward day and night, Shen Lie and the secret guards found the soldiers of the loyal army who were about to attack the village on a hill.

These soldiers didn't know that they were being targeted. On the eve of the operation, the two backbone soldiers who stood up temporarily were shot in the forehead at the same time, and fell to the ground and died.

The rest of the hundred people were startled, arrows rained in waves in front of them, they turned around and ran back, approaching the entrance of the canyon, the people running in front suddenly stopped, and the people behind bumped into them, the earthen knife and earthen stick in their hands were almost uninjured to one's own people.

Everyone yelled and cursed, and then they raised their heads and looked forward with feelings.

The light moon is slanting, and the opening and closing of the two cliffs turns the canyon into an open fan of the sky. The dark blue starry night hangs down from this fan. The young men sit on the horse's back with a rope, holding the unsheathed sword in their right hand. long sword.His figure is tall and thin, with a handsome appearance, his eyebrows are too cold, as if everything in this mortal world is not as good as in his eyes, he is arrogant and stern, like a banished fairy from heaven.

Everyone was shocked, and some even backed away subconsciously.

The open space in the middle became the dividing line, and they were alone on one side, and huddled together on the other.

The side with a lot of people was attacked by a wave of fear, which quickly spread in the crowd.

One person suddenly shouted: "You, you are Shen Lie!"

He wanted to drink full of breath to make himself appear weighty, but his voice trembled visibly when he reached the edge of his mouth.

The deep and clear voice seemed like a spring of ice in the cold night wind: "I only have one life left, who will answer me first, when and where was the last time you saw Xie Zhong?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

One person suddenly threw away the weapon in his hand, and ran out with big strides: "General Shen, let me speak!"

"I said it too!"

"Let me tell!"

Everyone else ran out, scrambling to kneel on the ground.

"I haven't seen the prime minister for a long time! I heard that the prime minister was arrested this morning!"

"It was General Zhuo who said that both the king and the prime minister are dead, and he doesn't want to lead troops, so let us get out!"

"Yes, yes, it was General Zhuo who drove us away. Before us, several batches had already been driven away!"

"General Shen, why don't you accept us!"

"We will obey your words and treat you like an ox!"

Shen Lie asked, "General Zhuo?"

A soldier looked at his companion: "What's General Zhuo's name?"

Others stared at him for a long time, and one of them said, "Zhuo Xilie!"

"That's right, General Zhuo's original name is Zhuo Xilie, he is a member of the family, and he only joined our Zhen Guojun last month!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's not the Zhenguo Army, it's the Loyalty Army!"

"That's right, the Zhenguo Army was from before, and now it's the Zhongxin Army! General Shen, we also called the Hanhe Army, Youguang Army, Chengye Army, and Rongde Army!"

Shen Lie was not affected by their messy words, his voice was always cold, unhurried: "Since last night, Xie Zhong hasn't shown up?"

The soldiers nodded.

"Didn't he be captured?"

"We followed General Zhuo to encircle the villages on the hills to the east. When we heard that something happened in Hegu, General Zhuo took us away!"

"Yes, yes, on the other side of the valley, isn't it because of you, General Shen, that the accident happened?"

Shen Lie listened to what they said to you, and to me, with a touch of sarcasm in his heart.It seems that Xie Zhong hid himself very thoroughly. All his behaviors in the past two days, he did more than cut off his arms to survive. In order to make Ling De mess up, he did not hesitate to use a knife to gouge out pieces of flesh from his body.

This is, limbs cut off.

While being decisive and ruthless, it can be seen that he is an extremely confident person. Not everyone has the courage to disperse his family fortune like this.

Shen Lie raised his hand and lightly tugged on the reins, and Longying held his head high, excited with killing intent.

The talking soldiers stopped unconsciously, and all looked at him.

Shen Lie said softly: "You didn't say it was useful. I wanted to keep someone alive. It seems that neither of you can do it."

Everyone opened their eyes wide, and was about to beg for mercy again, but they heard the sound of wind and arrows, and dozens of crossbow arrows shot from the left, right and behind them in an instant.

The outermost people fell to the ground in response, and the people in the middle huddled and tried to escape, but they couldn't escape the next wave and the next wave of arrows.

In an instant, the soldiers all fell down like the wind blowing over the ears of wheat.

"Master!" Ye Zheng and the others rushed over.

Shen Lie stared at the corpses all over the ground, and said coldly, "Replenish the sword."

"Yes!"

The hidden guards drew their swords and walked towards the corpse. Those who had already been shot in the brain would not care, and those who were not deadly in the brain would all be repaired by them again.

A few sporadic people are still lingering, begging for mercy, and still dying tragically under the sword.

After confirming that there would be no more survivors, Shen Lie rode away with the hidden guards.

In the next few days, they tracked all the way. Apart from scattered soldiers, they also encountered many soldiers and horses from the Daping Dynasty.

After leaving Lingde and chasing to Jinxiang County in Guide, Shen Lie completely lost track of this group of people.

Apart from them, there were also Cao Chunshan's Pingpi soldiers who were chasing and killing the Zhongxin Army all the way.

The Zhongxin Army going to the southeast was wiped out by Cao Chunshan, and the messenger soldiers came from the north, telling them that there were still a large number of Zhongxin Army soldiers and horses heading north.

Cao Chunshan immediately turned around and headed north, and continued to pursue. Within a day, he saw three piles of corpses one after another.

They were all soldiers and horses of the Faithful Army, who either died of arrows or swords. Judging from the condition of the corpses, they died within three days, and the nearest one was even last night.

According to the information provided by the soldiers of the Zhongxin Army who had been killed in the southeast to save their lives, Cao Chunshan concluded that it was Shen Lie who did it.

"That's great!" Cao Chunshan was overjoyed, "It means that Shen Lie hasn't left Lingde yet!"

Annihilating the loyal army of thousands of people is already a great feat. If Shen Lie can be captured again, he will not only be honored and honored, but he will also become famous all over the world, passed down by thousands of people, and left a book for future generations.

Cao Chunshan didn't care about resting, and immediately summoned all the soldiers and horses, strictly ordering not to let go of any clues on the road. Now, finding Shen Lie is more important than finding the loyal army.

In addition to the existing soldiers and horses, Cao Chunshan also sent people back to transfer troops to increase manpower.The morale of the whole army soared, and with the slogan of killing Shen Lie, they vowed to find him.

The next day, I saw several piles of corpses, all of which were scattered loyal soldiers who died tragically. Cao Chunshan was in a very good mood: "It seems that Shen Lie and the loyal soldiers have a lot of enmity. On top of us, we will take down Shen Lie after the event, brothers, soaring to the top is just around the corner!"

"Report!" A scout quickly rode back, "General, general!"

Cao Chunshan was chewing a sesame seed cake, looked up, and shouted, "What's the matter!"

The scout got off his horse, knelt down and panted, "General, at the foot of the Lijiatun hills three miles to the northeast, we found the corpses of a team of Xingping soldiers, about 20 people!"

Cao Chunshan's smile was still on the corner of his mouth just now, he froze when he heard the words, and immediately threw away the biscuits in his hand: "Let's go! Quickly lead the way!"
