Lan Xiangyu and Lan Yu relied on the cover of night and their familiarity with the village to break through and escape from the village.
However, a large group of soldiers followed behind them, and there was a faint sound of horse hooves.
Both of them had strong tempers and would rather die than implicate Qin Lingsi and the others, so they left the village and fled towards the west of Haozhou.
If you take the main road, you will definitely be chased, so after running for a while, the two turned into a small road heading south.
After running away for a long time, the sound of footsteps behind me has disappeared, but the sound of horse hoofbeats is getting louder and louder.
The two of them could only run as fast as they could. They both knew that they could be shot to death by random arrows at any time, and they did not look back.
After running for nearly a hundred feet, the sound of horse hooves was already very close at hand, and only the sound of "De De De" could be heard from the left and right. A dozen cavalrymen passed two people and circled around them.
The two leaders are Zhao Junyong and Pan Cheng.
"Who are you? Who sent you to eavesdrop on us?" Pan Cheng shouted.
Lan Xiangyu said loudly: "We just happened to pass by!"
Pan Cheng sneered and said: "The outside of the village is heavily guarded. How did you get into the village when you were passing by?"
Zhao Jun touched his beard and said calmly: "General Pan, why bother talking nonsense with them? No matter who they are, since they heard what we just said, we can only send them on their way!"
Pan Cheng nodded, got off his horse, and walked towards the two of them.
Lan Yu stared at him and gritted her teeth: "Did you kill those villagers?"
Pan Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you from this village too?"
Lan Yu said: "No! But the villagers you killed were my benefactors!"
Pan Cheng said calmly: "You are going to die anyway, why are you asking these questions?"
Lan Yu roared angrily, rushed towards Pan Cheng, rose into the air, and kicked him over.
Pan Cheng raised his arm to block it, held his ankle with his backhand, shouted, swung it half a circle in the air, and smashed it straight to the ground.
Lan Yu was in mid-air, with the wind whistling in his ears, and the ground zooming in front of his eyes. This time the impact was solid, and it was likely to kill him directly.
Suddenly hearing a scolding sound, Lan Yu felt her body loosen up and flew forward.
It turned out that Lan Xiangyu saw that he was in danger and hurriedly came to the rescue with a gun. Pan Cheng then let go and threw him out.
Although it didn't hit the ground, it was thrown with great force, and it was thrown diagonally downward.
Lan Yu rolled around on the ground several times, feeling burning pain all over her body, as if her bones were falling apart, and she couldn't get up for a long time.
"Woo!"
A woman's scream suddenly sounded. Lan Yu recognized Lan Xiangyu's voice and hurriedly struggled to get up to take a look.
Pan Cheng was seen grabbing Lan Xiangyu's hair with one hand and lifting her up in the air. He made a fist with the other hand and punched Lan Xiangyu in the abdomen.
Lan Yu was dumbfounded. Her sister's martial arts skills were clearly equal to Chang Yuchun's, so why was she defeated by the Northern Army general so quickly?
"Tell me, who sent you to eavesdrop on our conversation?" Pan Cheng asked expressionlessly.
Every time Pan Cheng punched, Lan Xiangyu groaned in pain. After the punch, the sound became smaller and smaller.
Lan Yu was heartbroken at the sight, and wanted to save her. She reluctantly stood up, but her knees were uncontrollable and the pain was so intense that she couldn't even take a step forward.
"You bastard, kill me if you want. Those who torture people are not heroes!" he roared angrily.
As soon as his voice fell, he suddenly felt a big hand pressing his head. When he turned around, Zhao Junyong came to him at some point and looked at him coldly.
"Are we heroes? It's our turn to be judged by a little brat like you?"
Zhao Jun used his hands to push his head down, and at the same time, he suddenly raised his knees.
With a "bang", Lan Yu's face hit Zhao Jun's knee hard. Zhao Jun let go, and he fell to the ground like a rag, with blood all over his mouth and nose.
Lan Yu slowly raised her head and looked at Lan Xiangyu not far away. Pan Cheng punched a few more times, but Lan Xiangyu no longer made any sound, as if she was a dead person.
Pan Cheng shook his head, threw Lan Xiangyu to the ground, took a copper hammer from his subordinates, raised his hand, and raised the copper hammer high.
Seeing that Lan Xiangyu was about to be smashed on the head with a copper hammer, Lan Yu did not turn her head or avoid looking away. Instead, she glared at Pan Cheng fiercely, as if she wanted to imprint this scene in her heart!
Just when the bronze hammer was about to hit the ground, the sound of horse hooves was suddenly heard, and then with a whoosh, an arrow came through the air and shot straight towards Pan Cheng.
Pan Cheng hurriedly swung his copper hammer, knocked the arrow away, and looked in the direction of the arrow.
A cavalry team ran from a distance, led by a girl in blue, holding a bow and arrow in her hand, with an angry look on her face. It was Qin Lingsi.
Chang Yuchun followed Qin Lingsi to the right, raising his spear high and making a throwing motion. If Qin Lingsi hadn't shot the arrow first, he would have thrown the spear.
Several people came to Pan Cheng and got off their horses.
Qin Ling glanced around, her eyes stopped on Zhao Junyong, and said coldly: "Zhao, you dare to hurt this girl, you are so brave!"
When Zhao Junyong wanted to attack Jiangdu, he came to Longtan Village and wanted to integrate the village, but Zhang Yangquan refused.
Later, Zhang Yangquan's strength expanded rapidly, and his heart became more and more unbalanced. He hated and feared Jiangdu's army.
At this moment, when he saw Qin Lingsi, he sneered: "Little girl Pianzi, I am the leader of the rebel army just like your brother-in-law. Please be polite when you talk to me!"
Pan Cheng was slightly startled and asked Zhao Junyong: "His Royal Highness King Yongyi, do you know these people?"
Zhao Junyong snorted and said: "This girl is the sister-in-law of Zhang Yangquan, King of Chu!"
Pan Cheng was taken aback, and his expression suddenly softened. He handed the bronze hammer to his subordinates, cupped his hands towards Qin Lingsi and said, "It turns out that the envoy from Chu is here. I have Pan Cheng, the general of the Song Army, to welcome you all on behalf of King Xiaoming."
The Northern Army's national title has been internally discussed and it is also "Song". This is consistent with their slogan of opposing the Yuan and restoring the Song Dynasty.
Because Han Qing'er had not yet ascended the throne, officials in Han and Song Dynasties called him King Xiao Ming.
Qin Lingsi ignored him, walked towards Lan Xiangyu, and asked Monkey and Yang Ying to rescue Lan Yu.
Pan Cheng stood in front of Qin Lingsi.
Qin Lingsi said coldly: "You injured my people, and I haven't even settled the accounts with you yet. How dare you stop me?"
Zhao Junyong on the other side also blocked the monkey and said coldly: "General Pan, it seems that these two agents were sent by Jiangdu Army. How do you plan to deal with them?"
Pan Cheng was silent.
Qin Lingsi glared at Zhao Junyong and said, "Who do you think the surname is Zhao?"
Zhao Jun chuckled and said: "The two of them eavesdropped on the conversation between my king and General Pan. What if they weren't doing it carefully?"
Pan Cheng stared at Qin Lingsi and said word by word: "Master Qin, are these two people really sent by you?"
Qin Lingsi was about to speak when Yang Ying suddenly whispered: "Master, something is wrong with Lan Xiangyu. I'm afraid the injury is very serious and requires immediate treatment!"
Qin Lingsi glanced at Lan Xiangyu and found that she was motionless, so she immediately shouted: "Robbing someone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Yuchun stuck his spear in place and rushed over first.
When Pan Cheng saw that the other party not only refused to explain, but also directly snatched people away, he became furious and reached out to grab Chang Yuchun's shoulders.
Chang Yuchun was furious when he saw Lan Xiangyu being beaten so badly. It was only because Pan Cheng was a general of the Northern Army that he did not take action.
Now seeing that he dared to stop him, he immediately said loudly: "Master, Miss Lan is left to you!"
A backhand punch hit Pan Cheng directly in the face.
When Pan Cheng saw the punch coming, he knew he had encountered a powerful opponent and quickly raised his elbow to block it.
As soon as the fist and elbow touched, Pan Cheng couldn't help but take a step back, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Chang Yuchun turned around and whipped his legs, sweeping Pan Cheng's face directly, the attack was fast and fierce.
Pan Cheng knew that the opponent in front of him was not easy to deal with. He saw that Qin Lingsi had already led people to rush towards Lan Xiangyu, and his own people also rushed over. A battle between the two sides was about to break out.
He hurriedly took three steps back and said loudly: "Everyone retreat, don't fight them yet!"
The Northern Army sergeant was stunned for a moment and stopped in place. Qin Lingsi quickly picked up Lan Xiangyu and brought her back to her own camp.
On the other side, Zhao Junyong and Yang Ying rushed over when they saw the monkey. They thought that because of their status, it was too cheap to fight with these people, so they also stepped aside and let them rescue Lan Yu.
Seeing that Lan Xiangyu had been rescued, Chang Yuchun hurriedly came to her side and asked Qin Lingsi: "Master, how is she?"
Qin Lingsi was checking Lan Xiangyu's body. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay. I just got knocked out of breath. Just rest for a while."
Lan Yu happened to be helped over by the monkey. After hearing this, big tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. Without saying a word, she kowtowed to Qin Lingsi.
Qin Lingsi hurriedly pulled him up and said, "What are you doing?"
Lan Yu lowered her head and said nothing.
At this time, Chang Yuchun reached out to press Lan Xiangyu's hand, and Yang Ying hurriedly said: "Don't wake her up yet. She is injured. It's best to let her rest for a while."
Chang Yuchun hummed, retracted his hand, stood up, and stared at Pan Cheng coldly.
Pan Cheng was also looking at him and asked in a deep voice: "Is your Excellency Wang Da, one of the four great kings of Jiangdu Army?"
When the monkey saw that Wang Da was so famous, he was both angry and funny.
"He is our most powerful general in Jiangdu, General Chang Yuchunchang!" He said loudly.
