"Be careful!" The blade is like lightning. Many people can see clearly. They want to stop it, but they can't even have time!

However, just as the scream sounded, Zhang Qian suddenly took half a step horizontally, just passing away the sharp tip of the knife. Immediately afterwards, the sound of metal collision and friction sounds sounded one after another, and the blade cut the outer robe and leaked a smooth iron plate.

"He was wearing an iron vest under his outer robe!" Chen Heng, the captain of the Right Guard, immediately felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He decisively drew his sword and retreated, and at the same time he shouted loudly: "Take it!"

Where was there any time? Zhang Qian's body quickly turned around, and he used a horizontal knife with his right hand to slash it, knocking the weapon in his hand away. The shield in his left hand turned into a high wall and slapped him hard on the face.

"Bump!" Chen Heng, the captain of the Right Guard, was photographed so that he flew backwards and was unconscious. The confidants under his command just raised their weapons and were surrounded by Guo Nu and his servants. They spears and sticks were placed together, and in a blink of an eye, they were all put to the ground.

"Don't delay your kung fu, ask everyone to push the fire dragon car over and block the gap! Just like when training in military weapons!" Zhang Qian had no time to care about Chen Heng's life and death, and shouted loudly, lifted his shield and ran towards the gap in the car wall with his knife again.

However, he found that he could not rush through at all. The road ahead had been blocked by Zhou Jianliang and his elite Shuofang under his command. Although these Shuofang brothers were not large in number, they were extremely skillful in cooperation. Five or six people formed a small plum blossom formation and could not pass any living creature within a range of ten feet wide.

"Swoosh swish swish swish" Ren Wu and Ren Liu each led a team of crossbowmen to attack from both sides, and put the bandits around the gap into a whole row.

"Snap the spear and cut off the way out!" Guo Youfu, the general of the family, shouted loudly and led his servants to throw the three-foot-long gun at a distance of ten steps away from the gap. In an instant, the bandits' team was smashed into two sections.

More feather arrows flew out from behind the wall of the car and wanted to reap the lives of the enemy. Under the huge pressure, the morale of the bandits plummeted again, leaving only a few of the most brave men who were still trying to get entangled with the Shuofang Army. The vast majority of the rest turned around and retreated, as if the sea water hit a reef.

The servants of Ren and Guo families, because they have been escorting goods all year round and traveling around the world and have experienced countless similar situations, did not feel panic because there was a gap in Checheng. They continued to use crossbows and spears to provide support to the elite troops of the Shuofang Army. Together with the latter, the thieves were unable to break into Checheng for a long time.

"Bang, bang bang bang" dozens of short axes suddenly fell from mid-air towards the largest gap on the car wall, smashing the bandits who were retreating step by step and five or six elite soldiers in the Shuofang at the same time.

The gap was instantly empty and the bandits completely collapsed. The two plum blossom formations of Shuofang Army that blocked the gap here were also unsustainable because more than half of the personnel were injured.

"Bang, bang bang bang" dozens of short axes fell down, causing heavy casualties to the Shuofang Army again. Zhou Jianliang's eyes were about to break, and he had to give a painful order to stop blocking the gap and retreat all the living brothers to the nearby carriage as much as possible. In an instant, a flesh-and-blood passage appeared in front of the enemy.

"Amitabha" More than 80 demon-subduing Vajras chanted the Buddha's name in their mouths, holding up their Zen staff, knives, and axes, rushing towards the gap with a rainbow of momentum. Behind them, the unknown cavalrymen who rode their horses and turned around, also reorganized the team again, and then accelerated decisively towards the gap under the leadership of the two team leaders.

"Trag the wound away, give them the gap, Fire Dragon Car, line up along both sides of the gap!" As soon as the Buddha's chant fell, Zhang Qian's voice sounded quickly in the car city, and every sentence sounded like gritting his teeth.

Zhou Jianliang led more than 20 servants and brothers to the gap, and dragged away the injured robes as much as possible before the demon-subduing King Kong rushed in.

He had never commanded the Fire Dragon Car to fight, so at the critical moment, he decisively chose to trust Zhang Qian unconditionally.

"Swoosh swosh swosh swosh swosh swosh swosh" Wang Han, with a group of servants, unwilling to shoot dozens of feather arrows, trying to slow down the forward speed of the Demon-Subduing King Kong, but with little effect.

Unless it is directly fatal, even if you are seriously injured, the demon-subduing King Kong will not feel the pain, just continue to hold up the weapon and rush forward.

The footsteps were like thunder, and the demon-subduing King Kong rushed faster and faster, and everyone's face was full of madness.

The horse's hooves sounded like drums, and the cavalry dressed as bandits raised their swords high, as if there were alien enemies in the wall of the car!

More than twenty wheelbarrows suddenly appeared on both sides of the gap and lined up along the left and right in a "V" shape. The handrails landed quickly, and the carriage boards skillfully unfolded to both sides, making a crisp sound, which was incompatible with the tense atmosphere on the battlefield.

"Click!Click!Click!Click!"...

With the sound of the machine locking, the car panels of each Fire Dragon Car on the left and right sides of the gap were firmly linked to each other. In a blink of an eye, they turned into two wooden walls wrapped in iron.

"Amitabha!" The demon-subduing King Kongs who had already entered the gap did not expect a "dead end" to appear in front of them. They were stunned, but could not stop. While being pushed by the accomplices behind them, they continued to rush forward quickly, while waving various weapons and smashing them towards the wooden wall.

"Bang bang" sounds endlessly. Guo Nu and the military weapon supervisor hiding behind the wooden wall were fearless. Following the process of operating no less than a hundred times before, they gritted their teeth and pressed down the crossbar.

Several golden liquids with strong aroma of wine were sprayed out at high speed from the front of the Fire Dragon Car with the dragon mouth painted in the dragon car, and all the demon-suffering King Kongs rushed into the "hutong" were poured into the soup chickens.

A ball of Mars fell silently.

In an instant, flames rose into the air, and a river of flames suddenly appeared in the V-shaped dead end. The demon-subduing Vajras who were on fire finally felt the pain, threw down their weapons, screamed and turned their heads to escape. However, the demon-subduing Vajras who followed behind did not know what was going on inside, and they shouted the Buddha's name and pushed forward.

"Ah, ah, mom"

"Amitabha"

Screams and Buddha's chants came one after another. The flame river quickly gushed outward, dragging more demon-subduing vajras into the flame of death. The monks who followed the team finally found something wrong and hurriedly dodged to both sides. In a panic, they collided with the cavalry who rushed up to try to launch a fatal blow, and they were overturned.

"Ah, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

No one dared to come forward to save them, whether it was the fierce and fearless Demon-Suppressing King Kong or the minions with a collapsed morale, they turned around and dodged, fearing that after contacting them, they would become a fireman.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two cavalry teams quickly ordered the horse to turn their heads and not to die. However, the livestock were instinctive. More than half of the war horses were scared by the flames that rose into the air and the fire people who staggered out of the flames, and they were so scared that they were scattered. They raised their front hooves high, threw away their masters, and ran around.

"Ah, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Ah, ahhh" An unscathed demon-subduing King Kong suddenly pushed down his companion beside him and ran down the hillside screaming, like a madman.

"Ah, ahh" It seemed that the mad demons would be contagious. Four or five other demon-subduing demons also shouted and ran away. Whether they encountered trees or people along the way, they would hit them head-on until they were bleeding.

"Ah, Amitabha!" The monk was distressed and could not believe everything he saw. He murmured and stumbled backwards.

It's over, it's all over. The White Horse Sect has trained for many years, and more than half of them were brought here by him. I thought I could "eliminate demons and defend the way", but I expected that the devil named Zhang actually made a fire of hell.

In front of the hellish flame, no martial arts can be used at all. The secret method of Buddhist Vajra to subdue demons cannot hinder the arrival of death. More than 80 demon-subdue demons who are sure to win are actually more than fifty of them were swallowed up by the flames one after another. Although the remaining more than thirty, although they were only slightly injured or unharmed, they completely lost their courage and will never be sent out to collect debts for the sect and promote the grace of Buddha in the future.

"Oh, yes, yes" horse hooves sounded like thunder. In the distance, a cavalry of thousands of size suddenly appeared. They surrounded the hillside like a net, and cut over the bandits who were fleeing in all directions to the ground one after another.

Inside the car wall, the intense drum sounded, and in an instant, it rang through the world.

Zhou Jianliang, with the elite troops around him, pushed open the carriage and quickly rushed out, capturing or killing the cavalry dressed as bandits, destroying them.

Wang Han rode a slow horse pulling a cart and rushed out of another gap. The spear in his hand flew up and down, and drove several demon-subduing King Kongs who suddenly came to their senses and struggled to the death one by one to the west.

More servants, led by Ren Wu and Ren Liu, also rushed out of Checheng and took revenge on the enemy. Especially for the Yellow-faced Demon-Subduing King Kong, whether the latter chose to escape or beg for mercy, they did not hesitate to fight.

"Give me your life, spare me, I surrender. It was the White Horse Temple who bribed me." The Shuofang cavalry surrounded by all over was forced to go to the end. Bai Fugui, the leader of Bai Wangzhai, raised his hands and rode his horse back to the vicinity of the car city. "I am willing to testify, I am willing to testify, and the monk Leku also colluded with officers and soldiers, Guo Bantou in Liuhe County..."

The two teams of servants ran by him, and their spears slanted and pulled him out of the saddle. The accent between Chang'an and Hedong was too different, so the servants could not tell at all. What he was just talking about. The caravan's guards and bandits have always been either not taking action, or they would never die if they wanted to do it.

Seeing this, the other bandits who were driven back scattered again. The servants continued to chase and die, and they were like tigers who were winged.

"Ah, Amitabha" The monk Leku's clothes were covered with mud, and he didn't know where the rosary was going. He was sandwiched among a group of bandits and ran around.

The sound of horse hooves sounded from his side, and a team of Shuofang cavalry rushed over from the slant, cutting off the retreat of the group. Monk Leku was forced to turn around with the bandits and run wildly in the opposite direction of the cavalry. After only 20 or 30 steps escaped, Zhou Jianliang had already rushed down from the hillside with seven or eight Shuofang elites, holding swords and spears, and the sound of shouting for killing was deafening.

"Surrender!" Lu Fangyuan, the third leader of Baiwangzhai, was desperate and suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the collar of the monk Leku from behind. "We surrender, we are willing to make meritorious service!"

Before he finished speaking, his wrist was already tightly held tightly. Then, the latter bent down and arched his hips, and a stumbled into a stumble of Dharma, which knocked him out of his shoulders. With a "thump", he fell to his head and blood.

And that pain, with one move, he immediately followed quickly, and before the cavalry and servants rushed over, he picked up a steel knife from the ground and cut off Lu Fangyuan's throat with one stroke.

Immediately afterwards, he twisted his body and waved his arms, used a wave of autumn wind to sweep the fallen leaves, forcing the rest of the bandits who tried to make meritorious deeds to retreat. Then, he shouted the Buddha's name, "Amitabha", turned the sword and cut off his throat with one knife.

"Oh, grandma's bear!" Zhou Jianliang, who was about to rush over to catch the living, was almost covered in blood. He was stunned and regretfully ordered people to cut off his painful head and return to Checheng in a monk's robe. Along the way, servants kept escorting prisoners or carrying the thief's heads back happily, which made him feel even more regretful.

As the absolute confidant of Zhang Renyuan, the chief general of the Shuofang Army, he was always taught by the latter by example, his vision and experience far surpassed the generals of the same level. Therefore, he deeply understood the value of Monk Ku.

If you can capture this person alive and then follow the clues, you will definitely give the White Horse Sect a fatal blow. Once you die, the clues will be cut off, and the strength of the evidence will be greatly reduced. Even if everyone catches many demon-subduing Vajras, it is difficult to prevent the White Horse Sect from placing the blame on some "scums".

"What's wrong, Brother Zhou, are you injured? Where is the injury?" Before he could get into the car city, Zhang Qian had already come up quickly, and the inquiries were full of concern.

"No!" Zhou Jianliang general threw the monk's robe and the head of the Ku monk at Zhang Qian's feet together, and responded angrily, "The monk who led the team committed suicide, and I didn't have time to stop him. Now, the White Horse Sect can cut off his arm again."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qian didn't care much about whether the monk Ku was alive or alive. He jumped aside and shook his head with a smile: "Brother Zhou doesn't need to be too harsh on himself. Even if he captured the monk who took the lead, the result would probably be the same. The White Horse Sect is not so much a group of people who are tyrants who are tying usury in the name of Buddhism. In the court, I don't know how many people are counting on putting money in their hands to eat interest. How could they be willing to let the White Horse Sect collapse in an instant?"

"That's true! The White Horse Sect is gone, and they are losing all their money!" Zhou Jianliang heard this, and his regret in his heart slightly relieved, but the expression on his face became more and more serious.

He quickly looked around. He hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice, and asked Zhang Qian, "Has the leader of the mansion led the team captured? Whose subordinate?"

"I was caught and Wang Han captured his own hands. His surname was Zhao, with the single name Qing. As Brother Zhou guessed, he was the lieutenant of the government soldier in Luzhou!" Zhang Qian grinned and sighed. "The guy confessed before he could interrogate. His uncle, Zhao Liangzheng, was the lieutenant of the government soldier. Both uncles and nephews owed a lot of money to the Baima Sect, so this time I killed me to pay off my debt. I didn't know who I was in advance."

"Really or false?" Zhou Jianliang couldn't believe it. As a general, he didn't even know who his opponent was, so he easily led his troops to attack. However, thinking that the Tang Dynasty's military system was on the verge of collapse, he could not deny the existence of this possibility.

"Wang Han is still continuing to interrogate him. They are all from Hedong and speak the same accent." Zhang Qian hesitated for a moment and added with a smile, "But what this person knows is probably very limited. When I hand over the complaint to the court, and then the court holds Luzhou accountable, I'm afraid his uncle's bones will be cold."

"Well..." Zhou Jianliang felt a little upset when he heard this, and his right hand instinctively held the handle of the knife at his waist. Then, he sighed helplessly.

While escorting "gunpowder" and "fire dragon car", he found Lang Yan asking for help, and defeated a group of bandits along the way, and happened to save Zhang Qian. This story could make sense no matter how he told him. But if he took his brothers to Luzhou along the way and arrested Zhao Liangzheng, the commander of the military commander of the palace, it would be equivalent to rebellion. At that time, even if Zhang Renyuan, the general of Shuofang, could not protect his head!

"I will send someone to make up for the gunpowder that was wasted today as soon as possible. There are two fire dragon cars, but they were burned because they were not withdrawn in time. I will give you the drawings. When you arrive in the army, you can find craftsmen to build according to the drawings." Unwilling to drag Zhou Jianliang into the vortex deeper, Zhang Qian decisively changed the topic, "The iron vest is a little more troublesome, and it requires water wheels and large vertical wheel water mills. I will give you the drawings of the floor furnace, water wheels and water mills first. You can try to make them yourself after you arrive in Shuofang. If not, when I have a skilled craftsman here, I can send a few more to help you."

When Zhou Jianliang heard this, he immediately blushed and waved his hand, "No, no. I can report damage to gunpowder and fire dragon cart, which is counted as the bandits. As for the iron vest, the water flows in the section of the Yellow River in Shuofang is too fast and the river bank is high. I doubt whether I can successfully frame the water truck."

He hesitated for a moment, and he quickly looked around and pressed his voice down very low, "Yunzhao, I am a rough man, I don't know if there are some words, so you can just listen first. Instead of being the secretary and young supervisor in Chang'an, you might as well ask to come to the army for training. Although the army is not as glorious as in the court, it is difficult to see the emperor, at least you don't have to worry about someone taking your life every day!"

Fearing that his hint was not direct enough, he paused, and he lowered his voice, "You made gunpowder, fire dragon cart, and also guided the Shuofang Army to dig peat to be self-sufficient. From the Grand Chief, we all miss your love. Recently, the Grand Chief Secretary built the Sushoucheng City, and no court paid a penny. If you can come, you can't guarantee anything else, at least no one dares to touch you again. Unless, unless you want to kill you, it is the Lord himself!"

This suggestion is very tempting, especially after Zhang Qian found that he had become the target of several forces. However, after only a few hesitations, Zhang Qian smiled and bowed: "Thank you, Brother Zhou, for your kindness in taking in, but I still have my own arrangements."

"How can I take you in? If you want to take you in, I am also the Chief Executive Zhang." Zhou Jianliang's face turned slightly red and he shook his head gently. He was about to persuade him a few more words, but he heard a series of heavy footsteps. He quickly turned his head and saw Guo Nu's angry face, "Senior brother, the surname Chen has also taken action!"

Regardless of Zhou Jianliang's presence, he gritted his teeth and continued to whisper, "It's a female official named Qian, who instructed her. The female official is Princess Jincheng's maid and has a skin-related relationship with him. She promised that if this is done, he would be promoted to general within five years. And told him that he would not have to worry about retreating, and a large number of bandits will be present. After the matter is over, the officers and soldiers will kill the bandits without leaving any. The crime of assassination will naturally be borne by bandits!"

"It turned out to be Princess Jincheng?!" Although I had guessed in my heart that the person who instructed the bandits to intercept Zhang Qian, it might not be the only one of the White Horse Sect family. Zhou Jianliang was still shocked by Guo Nu's words and blurted out his questions, "Yong Zhao, why did you offend the princess? He actually ignored the royal face?!"

"I would have known!" Zhang Qian's answer was bitter in his helplessness, "Sorry, Brother Zhou, I didn't mean to drag you into the water."

"It's your own brother, don't say such things. Even if you don't ask me and find that you are in danger, I can't stand by and watch!" Zhou Jianliang curled his lips and shook his head disdainfully, "Otherwise, even if the chief general does not cure my sins, the brothers will poke my backbone with their fingers for the rest of their lives!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but feel curious. After he hesitating for a moment, he asked again in a very low voice: "However, even though he knew that it was Prince Jincheng who killed you, he specially sent someone to warn you. That brother is really righteous. But he doesn't know who he is, and can he get together for a few drinks in the future?"

"I also want to know who he is!" Zhang Qian smiled and shook his head helplessly, "The letter was delivered to my junior brother when I was waiting for the official boat at the Yellow River Ferry. Then the sender ran away in a hurry, and didn't even give me a chance to ask. When I arranged for someone to chase him, there was no trace!"

…………

"Fourth brother, what do you want to do?!" Wu Yanxiu pushed away the Guigong Gong's block again, drove straight in, pointing at Wu Yanshou's nose, and furiously as if thunderous.

"What's wrong, second brother, who has provoked you again? Let you come to me to vent your anger?" Wu Yanshou slowly raised his head from Tuqi Shi Wuji's chest and asked with a grievance.

"You, don't pretend to be stupid!" Wu Yanxiu became more and more angry when he saw this. However, in front of so many outsiders, he could not speak too clearly, and his face turned black and his forehead was full of blue veins.

"Okay, you go out first. Zhu Jun, arrange for everyone to receive the reward. Look, help me and keep the money in the account!" Wu Yanshou waved his hand and signaled Zhu Jun to take the dancers and musicians to avoid it. After confirming that everyone had gone away, he slowly poured himself a cup of tea, drinking it while casually announcing, "Okay, second brother, now you can tell me, who is it, laying maggots between you and me?"

"No one put maggots in. I ask you, did you send Wu Dong out of Chang'an a few days ago to send someone a letter?" Wu Yanxiu finally didn't need to be afraid of outsiders anymore. She walked forward and knocked Wu Yanshou's water cup over. "You are crazy, and you actually sent someone to warn Zhang? Do you know what you are doing?"

"He helped me win a lot of money. I can't bear to die now. Second brother, do you believe this reason?" Wu Yanshou rolled his eyelids, leaned over and poured himself a cup of tea, and answered slowly.

"You, you..." Wu Yanxiu certainly didn't believe it, and pointed at Wu Yanshou, trembling with anger.
Chapter completed!
