Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 45 Chase into the city
On the official road not far from Zhongqing City, there was a sudden rush of horseshoes.

The White Feather Army, whose military appearance was solemn before, and whose armor robes were incomparably conspicuous, is now in a state of embarrassment, although it cannot be said to be defeated.

Many knights were bare even on their helmets.The two bunches of white bird feathers symbolizing the White Feather Army fell off at some point.

Although Wang Xiao was not injured, he was still covered in filth. He crouched dead on his horse, forcibly enduring the jolts of his galloping horses.

The five or six priests who guarded him before had suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining three masters were also heavily scarred.

"Grand Master, Zhongqing City is ahead." The priest beside him pointed to the wall of Zhongqing City revealed in the distance, and said pleasantly.

Wang Xiao gritted his teeth, turned his head and looked behind him.

In the rear, a middle-aged man held a long sword and ran with only his legs. His figure was faster than a galloping horse, and he just bit on behind Wang Xiao and his party.

The middle-aged man swung the long sword from time to time, and the sword light flashed past, and in an instant, he directly took away the two White Feather Army knights falling behind him.

Along the way, this middle-aged man with a sword chased everyone like this, causing Wang Xiao's subordinates to suffer heavy casualties and be extremely embarrassed.

This swordsman can be seen to be an eighth-level master from the moment he makes a move.But beside Wang Xiao, there were three eighth-level and two seventh-level master guards, and hundreds of white feather soldiers were beside him, so he shouldn't be in such a mess.

The reason why he was forced to such a point was because the middle-aged swordsman had unique movements and tenacity, which was extremely terrifying.

In the rivers and lakes, there are thousands of ways of swordsmanship, and some people's swords are mighty, gathering the power of heaven and earth.There are also people whose swordsmanship is light and agile, as fast as thunder.But the middle-aged swordsman who was staring at Wang Xiao, his swordsmanship was fast, and there was only one word left, "tough".

Human beings are made of flesh and blood, and there are times when they slack off, but this middle-aged swordsman is as if made of fine iron, extremely tough and tireless.

Since Wang Xiao escaped from the trap, this person has been chasing Wang Xiao and his party non-stop for four days and three nights. If anyone in the group shows a slight flaw, he will be killed in a flash of sword light.

On Wang Xiao's side, if he wants to catch him, this person's swordsmanship is extremely fast, and if he misses a hit, he will flee away immediately, and he can't catch him at all.Running, this person's body skills are extremely unique, he is good at long-distance running, even after chasing the horse for several days, he still can't get rid of it.

As a result, Wang Xiao tossed and tossed for four days and three nights, two of the five guards around him were lost, and all the remaining masters were injured.Of the hundreds of remaining white feather troops, there are now only less than fifty riders left.

Perhaps this middle-aged swordsman also knew that Wang Xiao had entered Zhongqing City, so he couldn't kill Wang Xiao, so he couldn't help but move faster, and swung the long sword in his hand, bursting out a more dazzling sword light, struggling to kill Wang Xiao .

Seeing this, Wang Xiao stared with fear on his face.

Seeing this, the three priests beside them looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and said:

"Grandmaster go first, I'll wait for the end!"

Wang Xiao looked at the three priests who were covered in wounds beside him, and saw that all three of them were dead-faced, and felt great pain in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said:

"You and other family members will each be given five hundred gold, and will be taken care of by the Grand Master's Mansion from now on. Your heirs and others will all be appointed Lang Guan and enter the Grand Master's Mansion to walk.!"

Wang Xiao treats his subordinates very well, with his promise, there is no need to worry about the future.The three priests immediately reined in their horses and turned to face the middle-aged swordsman.

With a movement of the long sword in his hand, the middle-aged swordsman killed the last Baiyu army. Looking at Wang Xiao who had gone away and the three priests left behind, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"They're all good guys, I'll give you a treat!" The middle-aged man put on a wooden face, opened his chapped lips, and said with some approval in his words.

One of the priests didn't want to lose the battle, so he snorted coldly and said:
"I waited for four days and three nights without eating or drinking, and I was injured all over. It depends on how long you can last!"

The middle-aged swordsman was covered in injuries, in fact, all over his body.The most serious thing was a knife in the chest, which directly tore through the flesh and blood in his chest, and the bones were visible.

In the final analysis, the middle-aged swordsman did not drink a drop of water for days and nights, and faced hundreds of elite cavalry and five masters, how could he be unscathed.

"You can try it!" As soon as the middle-aged swordsman finished speaking, the light of the sword in his hand bloomed again.

With the extremely fast long sword, combined with his body skills, his whole body turned into a bolt of lightning and went straight towards the three of them.

The three priests of the Grand Master's Mansion gritted their teeth, and had nothing to hold back, and each of them played their cards when they came up.The wind of the palm was sharp, the spear flew, and the two swords came out together.Several powerful internal forces instantly attacked the middle-aged swordsman.

In fact, after fighting in the past few days, the three masters of the Grand Master's Mansion are very aware of the strength of the middle-aged man.

The sword is fast, but not strong, the body is extremely fast, but not good at dodging.Apart from the terrifying and frightening perseverance, there is nothing to beat them to death.

As long as the three of them attack with all their strength at this time, they will definitely be able to hold him back, and even try their best to delay the damage of the meridian until Wang Xiao sends someone to help, it is not impossible.

But as soon as the three made a move, they suddenly felt something was wrong.

I saw the middle-aged man, not dodging or dodging, pointing out the long sword, the sword light was criss-crossing, and he rushed forward against the moves of the three of them, desperate for the possibility of serious injury.

The three of them were in a daze, the middle-aged man was like a bull rushing, he broke through the combined attack of the three, and then he passed through the three of them, and quickly chased Wang Xiao in the distance.

"Not good!" The three of them shouted in unison, and immediately rushed towards the middle-aged man regardless of their own safety.

At this time, the three people realized that the target of this middle-aged man was not them at all.From the beginning to the end, he came for Wang Xiao.

The middle-aged man moved swiftly and chased after Wang Xiao.

At this moment, Wang Xiao subconsciously turned his head to look, just in time to see the middle-aged man giving up three worshipers and chasing him again, he couldn't help feeling anxious.

Seeing that the city wall was in front of him, Wang Xiao immediately shouted anxiously:

"Quick, open the city gate!"

The rest of the White Feather Army immediately shouted in unison, saying:

"Grand Master returns to court, quickly open the city gate! Quickly open the city gate!"

On the city wall, the officers and men of the city defense army stationed there were shocked when they heard this.

"The grand master is returning to court? Is it true or not?" A captain of the city defense army hurriedly looked out of the city after hearing the words.

Relying on the moonlight, the captain clearly saw the dozens of people outside the city who were in such a panic, as if they were being chased by someone, and couldn't help frowning:
"Who is so courageous to pretend to be a grand master..."

Before he finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly hit him.

Before the captain could react, a strong wind brushed past his ears, and he heard a "da" behind him. ,
He turned his head in shock, and saw a jade token engraved with the word "Wang" engraved on the city wall behind him.

"Quick! Open the city gate quickly, the grand master has returned to the capital!" The captain hurriedly said in a panic.

With a sound of "crash", the locked tall gate of the city opened instantly, and Wang Xiao and his party did not dare to stay, so they rode their horses into the city immediately.

The next moment, a figure followed and flashed into the city.

This middle-aged man dared to chase into the city!
The veins in Wang Xiao's hands popped up, and he shouted at the soldiers around him:

"This person's target is me, you leave quickly, use my letter to mobilize the army in the city, and round up this person!"

"Yes!"
