Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Tread-tap-

A low-ranking general of the Song army wearing scarlet clothes ran in. Gao Chonghan's burly body uttered a loud voice: "Protect the gentlemen, the rest of you guard the gate, and send more people to patrol the surroundings."

Several commanders answered yes and ran out quickly. Outside, there were loud shouting and yelling, which made the scholars in the room feel a little restless. It was the first time for Zhao You to experience such an exciting thing. He felt dry in the mouth and drank tea and soup frequently.

However, Zhongyilang Wang Huan, relying on the two days of martial arts training, walked to the Song soldier and took a hand knife in his hand, then stood behind Gao Chonghan and looked outside.

Li Shanqing had already run over when Hua Rong stood up. He let out a breath and looked at the embarrassed Shan Jinglong: "General Shan, are you okay?"

“…Not dead.” Shan Jinglong’s face was stinky, and the smell coming from his body was equally stinky. He gritted his teeth and said, “When I find that thief, I will poke a few holes in his body!”

The lights flickered and the silhouettes on the ground moved slowly.

"Brother Shan has suffered." Hua Rong glanced at him and nodded, "This is what he deserves. This man has ulterior motives and wants to murder members of our delegation. If we can't catch him, we must ask the Song State to give an explanation."

"I also support General Shan, but don't forget to make that person reveal the mastermind behind this." Li Shanqing's face was also solemn: "Hurting the people of my delegation is no different from attacking my Qi State. We can't just let it go."

"..."

Shan Jinglong looked at the two of them, opened his mouth, seemed to be unable to say anything, and pursed his lips again. After a while, he squeezed out a sentence: "Just say it, why did you run so far? Do you dislike me?"

Three feet away, Hua Rong bowed his hands, with an apologetic look on his face: "Brother Shan, please forgive me. Hua Rong can't see clearly at night, so I need to stand under the lamp."

"..."

Shan Jinglong looked at the two candlesticks in front of and behind him, barely convincing himself to believe his lies, and looked at Li Shanqing, the official from the Ministry of Rites who was still standing beside Hua Rong with a smile: "Please forgive me, General Shan, I am powerless, and I feel it is safer to follow General Hua."

Shan Jinglong curled his lips.

Neither of these two is a good person!
While the three were talking, Zhao Youkai suddenly felt a little cold, gasped twice, and wrapped his clothes tightly. The people around him were a little nervous and didn't notice it. However, Chen Xizhen, who was standing next to him, saw it with a flickering look in his eyes, thought something was wrong, and stepped back gently.

Suck-suck-

The voice reached the ears of Huang County Magistrate. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhao Youkai hugging his arms and sniffing: "What happened to Zhao Zhimi? Did you catch a cold?"

"Nothing." Zhao Youkai forced a smile: "Maybe it was cold on the road and I accidentally caught a cold."

I felt blood running from my nose and quickly raised my hand to wipe it.

The magistrate of Huang County opened his eyes wide and pointed at him in horror: "Blood, blood, blood, blood..."

Zhao Youkai looked up in confusion: "What happened to your county?"

……

Chen Xizhen moved to the window, reached back and pushed the wedge on the window open.

……

“Blood!”

A terrified cry was heard, and Zhao Youkai looked down at his palm, which was covered with black blood. He suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the side.

"Ah——" The singer over there had never seen such a scene before. She screamed and fell backwards. Several musicians behind her hurried forward to support her.

When Gao Chonghan, Hua Rong and others heard the sound, they turned around quickly and saw that Zhao Youkai, the direct secretary of the Secret Pavilion, had black blood flowing out of his nostrils. Before he could open his mouth, they heard a "bang" and a window at the rear side opened, and a figure flipped out.

"You bold thief, chase him!"

Gao Chonghan grabbed his golden halberd and ran out. Shan Jinglong reacted faster than him. Seeing the figure jumping out, he immediately picked up his sword and ran out. Some Qi soldiers were afraid that he would get hurt and hurried to follow him.

Seeing this, Hua Rong ordered Li Shanqing, "Go and have a look." He then shouted to the Qi soldiers in the room, "Half of you protect Li Langguan, and the other half follow me!"

There was a roar of footsteps, and the soldiers in black armor drew their swords and ran out with Hua Rong. Some people also ran to the window and looked outside.

In the back, there was a noisy sound, and someone kept shouting: "Doctor! Call the doctor! Hurry up——"

There was a flurry of excitement.

……

Chen Xizhen fell out of the window and into a bush. He didn't care about maintaining his composure and struggled to get up. He cursed his bad luck in his heart. He could have escaped unnoticed, but General Qi came to disrupt the situation, and the fat man in the kitchen came to disturb him. They are all against me today, right? !
It was a dark night, with the only light coming through the window above the head. Seeing someone sticking his head out, the man's face changed and he didn't care about the complaints in his heart and hurried to run.

There were footsteps in his ears, and the light of the Qisifeng lamp appeared at the corner of the house. Chen Xizhen gritted his teeth and ran in the opposite direction. Over there, the scarlet clothes of the imperial guards were revealed under the light source.

"Stop!"

"The thief is here!"

A shout came from the Song army that was approaching. The figure on the opposite side snorted coldly, took out a sharp knife from his arms, and threw it hard.

puff--

The knife entered his throat and one person died instantly.

"Help!"

Seeing this, the other imperial guard dropped the gun in his hand and turned around to run. Chen Xizhen quickly took two steps forward and kicked the gun up into the air.

boom--

The butt of the spear hit the imperial guard's back, and the man fell forward under the force. The spear paused in the air and fell downwards.

A figure ran by, stretched out his hand, grabbed the sharp spear head, exerted force on his wrist, and the spear spun in the air. He stepped forward, grabbed the spear with his other hand, and squatted down. Puff——

"Uh……"

The gun tip pierced into the back of the neck, and the struggling figure suddenly stopped. Chen Xizhen did not dare to delay and quickly got up.

Behind him, Gao Chonghan was turning the corner. He was furious as he watched from afar: "What a thief! How dare you!"

Looking around, he found that he didn't have a bow and arrow, so he reached out and took the spear from the imperial guards at the back, shouted "Ha!", swung his arm and threw it, then without waiting for the spear to hit him, he stood up and ran forward.

Chen Xizhen heard him shouting and was looking back, when he saw a spear whistling towards him, he dodged.

bass--

The gun head was buried in the ground, and the half of the gun body exposed outside was shaking constantly.

What a great effort!

The attacker's pupils contracted. He didn't dare to stand there any longer and quickly turned around and ran away.

"Leave it to me!"

Gao Chonghan roared wildly, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and threw it again.

Chen Xi in front looked at him from time to time. When he saw the sword flying towards him, his face changed and he suddenly jumped to the side. The sword flew past with the sound of wind and hit the ground with a "clang".

"die--"

Chen Xizhen was just about to get up from the ground, but he didn't expect that the burly man behind him had already run up to him. Seeing that the distance was enough, he stabbed at him fiercely with the golden halberd in his hand.

The spear jumped up, and the spear head knocked the halberd off course with a clang. Chen Xizhen growled with a ferocious look in his eyes, and rushed towards the burly general waving the spear.

As long as we kill him, we can retreat with the help of those cowards in the imperial guards.

……

Later, Shan Jinglong led the Qi army and ran over. Seeing the imperial guards standing there stupidly, he stepped forward and pushed them away.

In the sight, two figures kept turning over there, and the sound of metal collision kept ringing in the darkness. Occasionally, sparks jumped out to reveal different shapes. The Qi army general standing in place suddenly changed color, hesitated for a moment and dared not go up.

Footsteps appeared behind and then stopped.

"He's a good player."

Hua Rong's voice came from his ear. Shan Jinglong looked back and saw Xiao Li Guang coming over. He pointed quickly and said, "General Hua, the person is over there."

Hua Rong nodded, thought for a moment, hung the sword on his waist, and stretched out his hand: "Bow!"

A personal soldier at the side quickly handed him his precious bow. Hua Rong pulled out a long arrow from behind another personal guard, and "Ka--" the bowstring was pulled into a full moon.

……

Damn, so strong!

Chen Xizhen was groaning in his heart at this moment, the opposing general's golden halberd was powerful and heavy, yet his moves were flexible, obviously a man of great strength. He cursed inwardly, saying that he had never seen the court so concerned about the delegation in the past, and why they sent out such a luxurious person.

He spun around and, using the strength of his waist and legs, shot him hard in the head.

Gao Chonghan's face was as gloomy as water. He tightly grasped the precious halberd and swung it with all his strength. The halberd and the halberd smashed into each other with a loud bang. Chen Xizhen's arm muscles began to malfunction. The unimaginable force made his arms tremble continuously. Before he could withdraw his attack and retreat, he heard a voice saying "Watch out for the arrow—"

What to look at?
The face of the middle-aged man who was exerting force turned red. His thoughts just turned, and he felt a pain in the back of his shoulder. As soon as he said "Ah--", the golden halberd on the opposite side pressed over the spear and hit him.

boom--

The figure spitting blood and flew towards the wall. Gao Chonghan's face showed joy, and he was about to chase after him, but his face suddenly changed and he squatted down.

whoosh-

An arrow flew over his head and pierced into the mud behind him, making the tough guy break out in a cold sweat. If he had not dodged, he would have been hit in the face, and his life would most likely have ended there.

"Dad, come up quickly!"

A crisp sound was heard, and Chen Xizhen did not care about the pain in his body. He looked up quickly. A rope was hanging from the top of the wall. He grabbed it with his uninjured arm and held the spear with his other hand. The person above him exerted force and the whole person rose quickly upwards. This person was tapping the wall with his feet, and his speed was two points faster.

Gao Chonghan was about to move forward, but Chen Xizhen put down his spear and kicked the spear body. A black shadow flew past, and he swung his halberd to block it with a bang. However, he was one step too late when he moved forward.

Hua Rong shouted from a distance, "Huh—accomplice?!" He stretched out his hand and drew out another arrow. He raised the bow slightly and shot an arrow at the wall over there.

"what--"

"father--"

A panicked voice was heard, and amid the roar of "Go!", the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard.

Hua Rong hurried over there and saw Gao Chonghan standing at the foot of the wall with a worried look on his face. He turned around and looked at Hua Rong when he heard the voice: "General Hua, wait here for a moment. I will search the entire city right away."

Hua Rong nodded and watched him run past.

At the end of the third year of Tianshun in Qi and the first year of Xuanhe in Song, Zhao Youkai, an envoy of Song, traveled to Dengzhou and suddenly died of illness. The envoys of Qi returned home alone. (End of this chapter)
