Qin Shuhuai sweated profusely, and then said to Li Daliang, "Li Da stall, let Cao Dugong recuperate, take some medicine to nourish his vitality, and tomorrow I will help Cao Dugong to heal his injuries again, presumably I can remove the residual poison and protect Dugong's life." ”

Li Daliang immediately knelt down at Qin Shuhuai, bowed deeply, and said, "Li Daliang thanks the Marquis for saving his life!"

Qin Shuhuai helped Li Daliang up and said, "We all serve the emperor, and we should be in the same boat and treat each other with all sincerity." If the big stall head is so angry, then wouldn't Ben Hou still want to thank the big stall head for saving Ben Hou in the Demon Sect rebellion?"

Li Daliang hurriedly said, "I don't dare to ask for credit!"

Qin Shuhuai instructed Cao Huachun a few more words, to the effect that he wanted him to live well, and then prepared to go out to see the others.

At this time, Cao Huachun suddenly said, "Master Hou, don't you regret saving our family?"

Qin Shuhuai turned around and said lightly, "As long as the Duke is willing to continue to be the emperor's eagle dog, Benhou will never regret it." ”

Cao Huachun smiled slightly, "Our family...... I owe you my life!"

"No, our lives are all the emperor's, you owe the emperor a life, and you owe Daming a life!"

Qin Shuhuai said, turned around and went out.

After the battle of Nan'angou, the Demon Sect's western offensive came to an abrupt end. Originally, there were still 65,000 elite Demon Sects, but they lost 9,000 on the West Road and more than 18,000 on the South Road, and now there are only 38,000 left. No matter how strong these soldiers are, they are only enough to defend a few big cities in Gansu, and they are no longer capable of expeditions.

The strategy of the Demon Cult was changed to absorb the rogues in Gansu, and then temporarily run Gansu for a period of time to increase the number of troops and money. At the same time, the followers of the Demon Sect in the Qinghai area will also receive requisition orders one after another, and many young and middle-aged people will go to the front line under the orders of the sect leader.

In this way, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong's life is even more difficult.

On the ninth day of June, He Kegang of southern Shaanxi led nearly 40,000 officers and troops to arrive at the city of Ankang.

In the evening, He Kegang carried out a tentative attack at the west gate of Ankang, losing hundreds of soldiers, and found that the rogues in Ankang City were well organized, the division of labor was clear, and the defense equipment was complete, which was extremely difficult to attack.

So he suspended the offensive and turned to discuss countermeasures with Zhang Xiao, Meng Wei, Li Jingting, Pigou and others.

After nightfall, the ubiquitous White Lotus Sect came again.

Qin Shuhuai had already given them the lotus seal pattern of the White Lotus Sect so that they could check their identities when the White Lotus Sect appeared. He Kegang confirmed the identity of the other party after careful checking.

The other party is the altar master of the Ankang branch of the White Lotus Sect, named Andashan. Andasan said that the White Lotus Sect had secretly gathered more than 800 people in the city, and there were more than 300 people mixed in Li Zicheng's department, which could help the officials and troops to cooperate with the outside and capture Ankang City.

He Kegang was overjoyed and immediately drew up a detailed battle plan.

It was night, the west gate of Ankang City.

It was the time when the city gate guards took over, and a team of 200 soldiers and horses came to the west gate, and after showing the handover order, they replaced the original guards.

The commander of this team of soldiers is called Wang Asan, and the deputy commander is called Li Dan. Wang Asan is a fellow villager of Li Dan, and he trusts Li Dan very much, and personally promoted him to be this little leader.

The only thing Wang Asan is not satisfied with Li Dan is that this guy is always chattering.

After guarding the post for a while, Li Dan said to Wang Asan mysteriously, "Third brother, I picked up a treasure in the city yesterday, let me show you?"

Wang Asan's eyes lit up suddenly. The so-called "picking up a treasure" means that it is a valuable item that has been stolen from a large family, of course, sometimes it may be stolen.

Although Gao Yingxiang strictly ordered his subordinates not to rob the rich people's property without permission, after all, most of these rogues are idle ruffians and bastards, so how can they really not take a stitch from the masses? To put it bluntly, isn't he Gao Yingxiang also extorting rich people every day? Therefore, this kind of private extortion and even using all kinds of messy reasons to rob rich families occurs from time to time, and if anyone gets something valuable, it is called "picking up a treasure."

So Wang Asan followed Li Dan to a remote place. Li Dan looked at no one on the left and right, so he took out an object wrapped in felt cloth from his arms, and then opened it layer by layer.

Wang Asan's eyes were fixed on the felt cloth, expectantly thinking about whether it was gold and silver jewelry or jade bracelets and jade.

To his disappointment, however, it was a dagger wrapped in the felt cloth—a sharp-looking, ordinary dagger.

He thought to himself, could it be that this dagger is an antique?

was about to ask a question, but saw Li Dan pick up the dagger and smiled weirdly.

Wang Asan felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

It wasn't until Li Dan "poofed" and plunged the dagger into his neck that he understood what was happening!

It's just that he didn't understand why Li Dan wanted to kill him until he died.

Li Dan didn't tell him either, killing him was to welcome the arrival of the Purple Dao Star Monarch of this sect. Purple Dao Xingjun has now defeated the Demon Sect, and is about to dominate the world and recreate the world, we and other sectarians should sacrifice their lives to help create a prosperous and prosperous world, although your king Asan treats me with kindness, but you are just a rogue, in front of the lifeless old mother, in front of the righteousness of the world, I have no choice but to kill my relatives with righteousness.

After Li Dan killed Wang Asan, he dragged him aside, then took Wang Asan's token, and hurriedly ran to the city gate.

He said to those rogues, "It's bad, a spy has run into the city, and the king has ordered me to take you to chase you!"

Someone will be suspicious, "Deputy Commander Li, we are here to see Ximen, it's not appropriate to chase the spies, right?"

Li Dan took out Wang Asan's token and said, "What is suitable or inappropriate, the spy entered from our west gate, if he alarms General Li, we all want to live! Come, half of us will stay behind, and half of us will chase after me. ”

At this time, another small leader also said, "Yes, yes, what Deputy Commander Li said is that if General Li finds out that he slipped in from us, he must look good when he turns back." ”

As a result, everyone else became nervous.

Li Dan personally "selected" a hundred people, immediately led them inside, and then ordered the little leader who had just spoken to temporarily command the defenders of the city gate.

Not long after, Simon came three or four hundred more men, saying that they had been ordered to come to help guard the gate. It's just that these people are a little raw, so some of the rogues who originally stayed to guard the door questioned it.

However, they immediately found that only a few of the four or five hundred did not believe it, while the others had no doubt and looked at them with a sinister smile.

It turned out that none of the people led by Li Dan were from the White Lotus Sect, and most of the remaining soldiers guarding the door were from the White Lotus Sect. As for the four or five hundred people, they weren't rogue soldiers in the first place, but they were just dressed up as rogue soldiers.

Cang Chang, the snowy blade slashed, and those few non-White Lotus Sect rogues immediately fell to death.

Subsequently, the west gate was opened!
