"Crunch!"

The tattered courtyard door was pushed open under the cold eyes of several people, and the babbling sound made people's hearts tremble.

The moment the first figure stepped forward, a Chang family soldier in front did not hesitate to swing his sword backhand and hit the black figure directly in the chest with the back of the sword.

If you get hit this time, it won't hurt anyone's life, but it will ensure that you lose the ability to resist within a short period of time.

"Someone!"

Unexpectedly, the black shadow reacted very quickly. The moment the cold wind hit him, he stepped back. At the same time, he turned his palm and a cold light appeared in his hand.

"who!"

"when!"

An extremely crisp collision sounded in the night.

Chang Huaiyi and Chang Yao were shocked. It was the sound of a knife! There was a knife on the other side. It must not be an ordinary person!

Chang Huaiyi no longer hesitated and shouted angrily:

"Do it!"

"Click rub rub!"

There was an instant sound of drawing knives in the darkness, and chaotic black shadows came and went, banging and banging non-stop, and soon the scene became chaotic.

"Stop, everyone, stop!"

A sharp shout rang out, and no one knew who it was. Both parties took a step back in unison, staring at the opposite side with eager eyes.

A man wondered:

"Aren't you from Yan?"

"Pooh!"

Chang Huaiyi spit out fiercely: "You are the Yan people!"

"Neither are we!"

Both sides looked at each other.

The scene was a little strange for a while. No one knew the identity of the other person. Chang Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, but he felt that the other person was not an enemy.

"Since you are not from Yan, why bother to kill me!" The other person said coldly: "Can't you just say it well if you have something to say?"

Chang Huaiyi choked. Because his nerves were highly tense, he felt that he had to take action first. Now he thought about it, why should he use the knife directly?

"Cool knife!"

"You are Liangjun!"

Chang Yao on the side was stunned. With the help of the faint moonlight, he immediately recognized that the person opposite was holding a cold knife.

Chang Huaiyi was also stunned. After taking a closer look, he subconsciously murmured:

"It's really a cool knife."

He had fought side by side with the Liang army and was very familiar with the style of the Liang sword. He also had a brand new scimitar at home given to him by the general of Beiliang.

"Do you know Liangdao? Who are you?"

The tone on the other side suddenly became murderous, as if someone had discovered some great secret.

Chang Huaiyi and Chang Yao looked at each other, with a trace of struggle and hesitation in their eyes.

"If I don't say anything, I'll have to fight to the death today~"

The figures on the opposite side slowly dispersed, ready for a fierce battle at any time.

Chang Huaiyi gritted his teeth and took a step forward, shouting in a low voice:

"My dear Chang family, Chang Huaiyi!"

"Hiss, hiss~"

There was a gasping sound in the darkness, accompanied by an exclamation:

"General Chang? I have found you."

…

The fire was lit again in the ruined temple, and now there were more than a dozen figures sitting around the fire, eating and drinking water. There was no sense of the tense atmosphere just now.

It turned out that this group of people were spies from Beiliang Wentiansi, and were ordered to search for traces of survivors of the Chang family in Jizhou.

The middle-aged man sitting with Chang Huaiyi and Chang Yao is the leader of this group of Wentiansi spies. His name is Zhu Ling. He is in his forties. You can tell from the thick calluses on his palms that he has been holding hands all year round.

Veteran of the Knife.

Zhu Ling couldn't prove his identity to the two of them, but his kindness was sincere and they could feel it.

Chang Yao asked with a puzzled look:

"How did your Liang army know that we defeated Ningzhou? Even if you had spies in Ningzhou, you wouldn't have acted so quickly, right?"

It has only been three or four days since the defeat. How could the Liang army in Liaodong deliver news back and forth so quickly? Could it be possible by flying?

Zhu Ling hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice:

"Since you two are our own people, we, Lao Zhu, won't hide anything from you either.

We really didn't know that you were defeated at the beginning, but our spies who sneaked into Pinghan Road discovered the traces of the Yan army's black silver lion flag marching south.

The generals above immediately judged that the war situation in Ningzhou had changed, and the Chang family would soon face a crisis, so they sent people to Ningzhou to send a message to remind you.

It's a pity that the news of your defeat came as soon as the messenger arrived at the border of Tianning Road. No one else could do anything.

So our mission became to search for survivors of the Chang family on the spot.

The Yan Army guys have set up a huge formation to search for you, and we are afraid that others will not know about it, so we will follow the traces of the Yan people and look for them everywhere.

There were probably dozens of waves of people looking for the two of them in the entire Jizhou area. Unexpectedly, I found them by accident.

…”

Zhu Ling spoke eloquently, saying a lot in one breath, describing the causes and consequences in detail.

Chang Huaiyi and Chang Yao were silent. Unexpectedly, when they were fighting fiercely in Ningzhou, Beiliang was still thinking of passing information to them.

This should be the kind of friendship only border soldiers have~

Zhu Ling didn't ask much about the situation in Ningzhou, and just sat upright.

Because in the past two days, the results of the war have spread throughout Jizhou. The hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out. An Guogong Chang Hantang died in the battle, and his second son Chang Jingzhe also died tragically. The century-old Chang family was wiped out.

At this time, if you ask someone about the result of their victory, isn't that purely stimulating?

Chang Huaiyi asked silently:

"Is the situation in Liaodong okay? Since Pinghan Road was occupied by the Yan army, we have been unable to obtain intelligence on the northern border.

But I believe that the King of Dongting will never let Liaodong go easily."

Zhu Ling smiled bitterly:

"I'm just a soldier, I don't know the secrets of the army.

I only know that the Yan army secretly attacked Chifeng City a few days ago and massacred the city, killing many people.

Fortunately, we were repulsed by the Liang Army's Benlei Cavalry and were unable to penetrate further into the hinterland of Liaodong.

Later, our army occupied Zhenbeiguan and occupied the Yan bandits outside the city. Now there is also a posture of war there."

Hearing that Zhenbeiguan had been captured by Liang's army, Chang Huaiyi and the others were shocked. It seemed that the situation at the border had changed very quickly.

Chang Yao suddenly said worriedly:

"You just said that you followed the traces of Yan Jun to find us. Doesn't that mean that Yan Jun is also nearby?"

"Yes." Zhu Ling nodded solemnly:

“But they don’t know this trail well, and it will take some time to find it.

The best we can do is rest until dawn before we have to set off.

When the time comes, you two will follow us, and there will be Thunder Riders ahead to meet you."

"Thunder Rider?"

Chang Huaiyi was stunned: "You actually dispatched the Thunder Riders to penetrate into the enemy's territory? Aren't you afraid of being surrounded by the Yan army?"

Zhu Ling concentrated her fists and said:

"Your Majesty personally ordered that if the Chang family is in trouble, the border troops will rescue them!"

The two of them looked horrified, and a warm feeling welled up from the bottom of their hearts.

Chang Huaiyi murmured:
Chapter completed!
