"Stop fucking around! Walk faster!"

In the bamboo forest, Li Chongjin kicked Zhu Xiu in the butt and cursed.

Zhu Xiu staggered and almost fell, turning back to glare at him angrily.

"Hey, you little bastard is looking for death!" Li Chongjin raised his knife as if to chop him with a fierce look on his face.

Zhu Xiu patted the footprints on his butt, suppressed his anger, lowered his head and walked forward one step at a time, scanning the surroundings with his peripheral vision.

"Tweet~"

Two rapid bird calls came from the left and right sides, and Zhu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. This was a signal that the sergeants of the Weihu Camp were already in place.

"Where are the bird calls coming from?" Li Chongjin murmured in confusion. He was surrounded by lush and dense bamboo forests. Only the rustling sounds when he walked through them made these bird calls seem a bit abrupt.

"I'm not leaving!" Zhu Xiu stopped, turned around, rubbed his neck and said angrily: "If you fart, let it go! If you dare to touch a hair on my face, I will keep you from leaving the town!"

Li Chongjin was furious and put a long knife on Zhu Xiu's shoulder. The heavy pressure made his body tilt. A faint bloody smell came out from the sharp blade, and the cold and stinging touch on his neck made people's hair stand on end.

However, since the attack on Cangzhou, Zhu Xiu himself could not remember how many times he had been threatened with a knife to his neck. He had long been used to it and immediately glared back without fear.

Li Chongjin's eyes were filled with fierceness, and the sharp blade cut a thin gash in Zhu Xiu's neck, and traces of blood leached out.

"What a boy! You're quite brave!" Li Chongjin sneered, put down the knife, took another look, "Take off your clothes!"

Zhu Xiugang was about to secretly breathe a sigh of relief, but when he heard his abrupt words, he trembled with fright: "You...what did you say?"

"I told you to take off your clothes!" Li Chongjin pointed the tip of the knife at him with a sinister smile on his face, "I want to search you!"

Zhu Xiu clenched her buttocks and took a breath of cold air. Isn't this black guy a real pervert?

Zhu Xiu's face was ugly, and she slowly untied her belt and slowly took off her coat, but her eyes were looking around.

A dazzling reflection flashed twenty meters northeast of him, and Zhu Xiu's heart beat rapidly. This was the signal from the sergeant of the Beihu Camp to inform him that he was ready to take action.

"Tsk tsk~ You have a tender skin and tender flesh. You look like a pampered rich man. Tell me quickly, are you from Puzhou City? What is your relationship with Li Shouzhen?"

Li Chongjin looked at Zhu Xiu's delicate arms and legs, cursed scornfully, and raised his knife to threaten.

Zhu Xiu only wore a thin half-arm singlet and homemade coarse cloth pants. She stood shivering in the weeds and covered her chest in shame.

This black bear doesn't seem to be very smart. If he asks this question, doesn't it mean that they are not Li Shouzhen's rebels?

If it’s not Li Shouzhen, then who could it be?

Zhu Xiu was stunned, and suddenly thought of something. Just as he was about to speak, there was a "whoosh" sound, and the sound of arrows breaking through the wind sounded from the depths of the bamboo forest!

Zhu Xiu hugged her clothes, dug into the weeds, and rolled along.

"Don't run!" Li Chongjin was shocked and angry. Just as he was about to rush forward and grab his legs, more than a dozen arrows were shot at him!

Li Chongjin swung his sword and slashed left and right, protecting his whole body, and cursed angrily: "Who dares to attack me?"

No one responded to him, and dozens of figures gathered from all directions, surrounding him in the center.

Li Chongjin was horrified. This group of warriors suddenly appeared wearing various civilian costumes. They all had cold eyes, strong bodies, and uniform marching movements. They exuded a brave spirit. They were obviously well-trained warriors!

They held the uniform swords in their hands, which were shaped like wild goose feathers, had hard bow quivers on their backs, and had daggers stuck in their leggings, and they quietly rushed out of the bamboo forest!

Zhu Xiu fled to a distance, guarded by two sword-wielding sergeants.

"Capture this man alive!" Zhu Xiu shouted, hurriedly getting dressed.

The sergeant who was still looking for an opportunity to shoot an arrow in the distance received the order, immediately put down his bow and arrow, drew his sword and rushed forward.

There was a metallic clash of weapons. Li Chongjin quickly stabilized his position under the siege and fought with his sword, as brave as a tiger!

"Who is this person? He is so brave?!" Zhu Xiu was shocked. He was personally responsible for selecting and training the Tiger Battalion, and its combat prowess was second to none among the Zhangyi Army and several independent battalions.

Even Zhao Kuangyin couldn't hold on for long under the siege of a group of ten people, but this black bear can actually resist until now.

"Get on the rope net! Trap him!" Zhu Xiu ordered sternly. Training in the Tiger Camp is not easy, so we can't get hurt in the hands of this person.

A special large net made of iron ropes and hemp ropes was opened, held by three sergeants at each corner, and fell from the sky to suppress Li Chongjin.

Li Chongjin was horrified and slashed wildly, causing a burst of sparks to fly.

The twelve sergeants used their strength together, changed their position and formation, tightened the rope net into a net bag, shouted "Get up!" and tied Li Chongjin tightly, struggling desperately but unable to move.

The use of cable nets is a key training subject, and Shi Xiangwen was once used as a training object.

Even Shi Xiangwen, who was born with supernatural powers, found it difficult to deal with the rope net, let alone others.

This kind of capture method is used to deal with powerful warriors or assassins.

"Little bastard! How dare you cheat? If you have the guts, let me out!" Li Chongjin was tied up in a net bag and roared. No matter how hard he kicked and tore, he couldn't break free.

Zhu Xiu dusted off her sleeves, straightened her scarf, cut her back with her arms crossed, and walked over calmly. She said with a smile: "Don't waste your efforts and get caught in my net. You won't be able to escape even if you want to."

"You have been ambushing people in the bamboo forest! You are really despicable!"

Li Chongjin was like an angry bear, roaring like thunder.

Zhu Xiu knelt down and said with a smile: "It's your fault for being unlucky. You dug into your pocket yourself."

I picked up his sword and looked at it. It was just an ordinary hand sword without any markings.

"Tear off his clothes and check whether there are documents or other items that can prove his identity."

Zhu Xiu waved her hand and walked aside, holding her arms and watching the show with a face full of fun.

Several sergeants rushed forward, held down his hands and feet, and roughly tore off the hakama of Li Chongjin's robe.

Soon, a naked black body with only a cloth around the crotch was revealed in front of everyone.

Li Chongjin first resisted with all his strength, yelled and cursed, and then wailed and begged for mercy, but was unable to resist. He was pressed down on his body by more than a dozen pairs of rough hands and stripped naked.

"Hey~" Zhu Xiu glanced at him with disgust. This black guy was covered in black hair. His arms, legs, waist and abdomen, and chest were all covered with coiled and curly black hair. He looked like an ape who had failed to evolve.

"Young Envoy, he seems to be crying!" a sergeant whispered.

Zhu Xiu's eyes widened and she saw Li Chongjin huddled together in the net bag, his shoulders hunched, his head buried in his head and he let out a small sob.

There were jeers all around, and Li Chongjin buried his head deeply, trying hard to suppress his cries.

I wonder when he, the Black King, has ever experienced such cowardice when he is so old?

This time, he was stripped naked by more than a dozen rough men and was watched naked. Li Chongjin wanted to wipe his neck with a knife in grief and indignation.

"Young Envoy, he has a token on him!"

The sergeant found something from his clothes and handed it to him.

Zhu Xiu took it and took a look. It was an iron token with a familiar style.

Taking a closer look, the front of the token is engraved with a line of small characters "Tianxiong Army Festival Order", and the back is also engraved with the words "ordered to dispatch troops"!

"Is this... Tianxiong's military order?" Zhu Xiu was dumbfounded.

Since it was an order from the Tianxiong Army, this person must be a soldier under the Tianxiong Army.

The Tianxiong Army is currently in Dazhai, Hexi, under the command of Uncle Guo.

So, is this black bear sent by Uncle Guo?

Zhao Kuangyin's anxious shouting came from outside the bamboo forest, and Zhu Xiu hurriedly responded.

Soon, Zhao Kuangyin came over and said urgently: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! They are the scout team who came to inquire about the news under Guo Shuai's order! Don't hurt that man's life!"

Zhu Xiu pursed her lips and said, "Here, over there!"

Zhao Kuangyin took a closer look and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person in the net bag was still alive.

"Just now in the wine shop, I almost made a move, but after talking with each other, I found out that they were actually people sent by Guo Shuai. The man just now was called Fu Zhaoxin. He was the eldest son of Wei Guogong and the elder brother of Madam Fu. He came here specifically to inquire about Madam Fu.

The whereabouts are consistent with our purpose."

Zhao Kuangyin took the Tianxiong Army token and looked at it to confirm it was correct.

Zhu Xiu pointed to the net bag and said, "Then who is this black bear?"

Zhao Kuangyin whispered: "His name is Li Chongjin, and he is Guo Shuai's nephew! I have met him twice before in Kaifeng, but it has been so long that I can't remember..."

"Oh...it turns out he is another senior government official, no wonder he is so arrogant..."

Zhu Xiu pouted and was about to say something taunting, but his eyes suddenly opened wide and he shouted in shock: "What?! He is Li Chongjin!?"

In the net pocket, Li Chongjin raised his head, gritting his teeth, his eyes were red and swollen, full of resentment, and there were tears hanging from the corners of his eyes...

Half an hour later, in the earthen courtyard.

Zhu Xiu, Zhao Kuangyin, Fu Zhaoxin and Li Chongjin sat together, while Shi Xiangwen squatted aside and played with the mud.

Li Chongjin had already put on his clothes, but he didn't speak from the beginning to the end, staring at Zhu Xiu with a pair of fierce eyes.

Fu Zhaoxin and Zhao Kuangyin looked at each other with wry smiles.

Fu Zhaoxin advised: "After talking with Zhao Xiandi in the wine shop, I found out that they were not the rebels under Li Shouzhen's command. It was a misunderstanding. Fortunately, no one was injured. Don't be upset when you re-enter. It's my fault for being too cautious.

Ask for the reason. We took action first, and we should be the ones to apologize."

Fu Zhaoxin clasped his fists in greeting.

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: "Brother Fu is serious. If you and I go deep behind enemy lines, there is nothing wrong with being cautious."
