After burying the body of Pao Ze in the mountain shade, Wang Xian and the others went on the road in the dark. Tonight was covered with lead clouds, the stars and moon were dark, and it soon began to rain, and even the most seasoned guide could not distinguish between the east and the west.

Zhang Dongzheng was secretly sad, but found that others were calmly following Shi Wan, the old thief and the old god were there, and he didn't seem to be worried about getting lost at all.

Zhang Dong endured and endured, but he still couldn't hold back, and he pulled his horse head to Shi Wan's side, and said, "How do you know the direction?" ”

Shi Wan glanced at him and sneered: "It's a thief trick that can't be put on the table." ”

"I was wrong," Zhang Dong's character really made people helpless, he said very sincerely: "I shouldn't have said that about you." In fact, if you think about it, the skills are not pressing, as long as I don't steal, even if I learn the skills of a thief, I am not a thief. ”

"Get out of the way!" Shi Wan shook his clothes and shook Zhang Dong's face.

Zhang Dong wiped his face helplessly and stepped aside.

Shi Wan waited for a while, but he didn't see Zhang Dong coming over, he secretly glanced at the kid, and saw that he was following him dejectedly, and he didn't mean to come over again. couldn't help but feel depressed for a while, and said loudly: "Then you just want to learn from me?!" ”

"Hmm." Zhang Dong nodded vigorously.

"That's pretty much it, look at it." Shi Wan threw an egg-sized object to Zhang Dong, Zhang Dong hurriedly took it with both hands, and looked at it, it was a small compass, and the dial would glow, even in such a dark night, you could see the hands on it.

"What's this?" Zhang Dong didn't know this thing.

"Sinan, also known as the north arrow, the direction that this pointer points to is north, so we are going west now." Shi Wan was very satisfied with Zhang Dong's ignorant appearance, and said proudly: "It is used for tomb robbery." ”

"How can it shine?" Zhang Dong asked.

"This pedestal is half a priceless pearl of the night." Shi Wan became more and more proud: "How is it, this business has a future, right?" ”

Zhang Dong handed the thing back to Shi Wan, and said very seriously: "I won't be a thief." ”

"Just like you, you are still a thief, do you have that ability?" Shi Wan was very dissatisfied with his attitude and said: "At best, it is the level of a robbery." ”

"I won't rob a house." Zhang Dong hurriedly said.

"You ......" Shi Wan was almost by this brainless boy......

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Wang Xian and the others trudged through the rain with difficulty, not daring to stay at all. When the morning came, everyone was hungry and cold, shivering in the morning breeze, and the wounds were even more difficult to bear, and many even fainted...... If they weren't tied to the horse, they would have fallen off the horse......

"How far is it from Tai'an?" Wang Xian was very worried, his subordinates had to rest immediately, and they could not withstand any challenges.

"Twenty miles to go." Zhang Dong hurriedly replied.

Before the words fell, the scout who was exploring the way in front of his head hurriedly drove over, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, it's not good! There is an enemy! ”

"What?!" Wang Xian shook off the poncho on his body in shock, and the soldiers all looked solemn.

"About two thousand riders, just a mile away, are speeding towards us!" The scout reported in a deep voice.

"Ahh Shi Wan was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly shouted: "It's troublesome now!" My lord, let's hurry south!"

"I can't leave!" Zhou Yong hurriedly said: "My lord, we are blocking the enemy soldiers, you and the two ladies quickly retreat!" Lingxiao glanced at Zhou Yong when he heard this, but did not refute it.

"As I said, with you, life and death are together." Wang Xian shook his head, pulled out the sword in his hand that had been curled and still covered with blood, and said lightly: "Jinyi Guard, only advance and not retreat!" "At this time, everyone knows the situation, even if people can hold on, the war horse is already about to stumble, and there is only one way to die if you escape. Rather than this, it is better to go up and fight hard, kill one and kill two to make money!

However, Wang Xian did not immediately order an attack, but only ordered the scouts to probe again, and his subordinates were ready to fight.

The enemy soldiers were just a mile away, and they had already discovered Wang Xian and them, and they were rushing towards this side at full speed. Jin Yiwei took a vantage point, looking at the black line rolling in the distance with full vigilance, and everyone hung their hearts in their throats.

"Boy," Shi Wan smiled at Zhang Dongya, "The first time you came out, you won the jackpot, you ...... luck."

Zhang Dong's face tightened, but he was no longer nervous before, and said lightly: "Don't worry about me later, protect the big man......"

"Go to the ball! Lao Tzu still uses people to protect him?! The big man Gao blew his beard and glared when he heard this, but because of his excessive movements, he pulled the wound, and the pain was so painful that he almost fell off his horse.

The soldiers let out a chuckle, these warriors who look down on life and death, what else is there to fear?

In the blink of an eye, the team of men and horses had already arrived, with the brocade guard spear in hand and bow wound, and the battle was about to break out!

However, the team of men and horses stopped suddenly, and several generals rode over, led by Zhou Kang!

Jinyi Wei was confused, but saw Wang Xian showing a charming smile.

"The subordinates are late to take over," Zhou Dare saw the embarrassed appearance of all his comrades, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, knelt in the mud and pleaded: "Please punish your lord!" ”

"The last general, Jining Wei, commanded Zhu Wei to meet his uncle!" A general in his thirties who followed behind Zhou Kang also hurriedly saluted Wang Xian: "It's too late to take over, please forgive your uncle." ”

"Everyone, please get up quickly, what are you guilty of?" Wang Xian smiled and helped the two of them up, and said gratefully to Zhu Wei: "Fortunately, my brother Chengguo told me about you, brother, otherwise I am afraid that I will be in big trouble this time." ”

"My grandfather has sent a special letter to advise my uncle, if he has an order, he will not hesitate." Zhu Wei is the general of the old Chengguo Gong Zhu Neng, and when he arrives at Zhu Yong's generation, he has been released as a commander, but psychologically, he is still a member of the Chengguo Mansion, so he naturally has to listen to Zhu Yong. What's more, Wang Xian still has the order to transfer troops in his hand! .

This sudden reinforcement was before Wang Xian left Jinan, considering that in case of failure, someone had to respond. Thinking that before leaving, Zhu Yong had mentioned this Zhu Wei to himself, at least he could guarantee that he was neither the King of Han nor a member of the White Lotus Sect. took out the yellow jade talisman given by the emperor, and asked Zhou Dare to go to Jining Wei to transfer troops and bring them to respond.

The emperor's yellow jade talisman is one of the twelve tiger talismans that control the soldiers and horses in the world, and can mobilize all the soldiers and horses in Shandong, of course, the premise is that the other party has the imperial court in his heart. Although Wang Xian did not doubt Zhu Wei, he could not let Zhou dare to transfer troops in advance, so as not to leak the news. According to the agreement, Zhou Dang appeared in Jiningwei at noon yesterday, that is, after the beheading operation began, mobilized Zhu Wei's troops and horses to the north, and hurried to meet Wang Xian this morning......

It was precisely because of this sudden reinforcement that the deployment of the White Lotus Sect was disrupted, so that those forces that had planned to encircle and annihilate Wang Xian in one fell swoop all shrank back.

In any case, reinforcements arrived and the alarm was lifted. Under the escort of Jining guards, Wang Xian and others entered Tai'an City at noon. Once you enter Tai'an City, you will be completely safe, unless the White Lotus Sect or the Han King wants to rebel immediately, no one can kill the Qincha who is heavily protected in a county town.

Tai'an is not Jiningwei's defense area, although Zhu Wei is based on the order to send troops, it is justified, but in the future, it is better not to get along with the generals of Tai'an, or not to enter the city. Wang Xian was very considerate of this, and after thanking him repeatedly, he asked Zhu Wei to lead the troops back.

Tai'an County is the territory of Jinan Prefecture, and the Tai'an County Commander once went to Dezhou to greet Wang Xian, but he never dreamed that Lord Qincha would suddenly come from the east, and bring a group of bloody murderers...... But no matter what, the Tai'an county magistrate did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly let his county government out for the Qin to send and his party to stay, and on the other hand, he ordered someone to report to Jinan City urgently, and asked the political envoy to take the idea quickly!

Wang Xian also asked the Tai'an County Order to gather all the doctors in the city to the county government and ordered them to do their best to treat the wounded. As for trivial matters such as settling his subordinates and improving food, he naturally didn't have to worry about it...... At this moment, Wang Xian just wants to take a hot bath and take a break from himself.

The bathroom was full of white air, and Wang Xian's whole body was immersed in the slightly hot water, and he was determined. Gu Xiaolian, who had already finished grooming, gently scooped water outside the bath bucket and washed his long hair, which had been coagulated into a bunch of blood, and was scalded by hot water, the blood stains melted, the shampoo turned red, and the room was filled with blood, and he couldn't hold it down even if he lit sandalwood.

Wang Xian didn't realize it, he just sat there so fixedly, but his mind had already flown to the clouds...... It wasn't until a slight stinging pain in his back brought him back to his senses from the geist state, and he unconsciously let out a low snort.

"Official, bear with it," Gu Xiaolian said softly while treating a small wound on his back, "It won't hurt for a while." ”

"Hehe......" Wang Xian laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "If it is known, the big head of Jinyiwei is afraid of pain, will he be laughed out of his big teeth?" ”

"It's human nature to be afraid of pain, what's so funny?" Gu Xiaolian's voice was soft and glutinous, which was the best medicine to soothe the soul: "What's more, the slave family will never tell others." Saying that, she whispered softly in her ear and said coquettishly, "This is our little secret." ”

"Okay, that's a deal." Wang Xian nodded, glanced at his soaked white hands, slowly stood up from the bathtub, and said in a low voice: "Don't wash it, help me get dressed." ”

Gu Xiaolian wiped Wang Xian's body with a bath towel, and her movements were extremely careful and did not touch any wounds on Wang Xian's body. After wiping it clean, she took out a loose silk sermon robe, dressed it lightly for Wang Xian, and then said softly while combing his hair: "These days, officials wear this kind of loose and cool clothes first, which is good for wound recovery." ”

"I'm not that squeamish," Wang Xian said with a smile, "but it's still necessary to pretend......."

After freshening up and dressing neatly, Wang Xian came out of the front hall and saw Zhou Dang kneeling on his knees, kneeling there with a painful face.

"My lord, this time it's all the sins of your subordinates!" Zhou Dang burst into tears and slapped himself twice: "I deserve to die!" ”
