Moreover, Zhang Heng attached great importance to this matter. If he failed in this matter, he would probably find it difficult to be reused in the future and his career would be hopeless.

Zhang Weile figured this out, looked at Li Wensheng coldly, and said in a sinister tone: "Prefect Li is trying every possible means to prevent us from arresting Li Yi. It seems that you must be related to him, right?"

Li Wensheng looked angry and shouted: "Don't slander me. According to me, that person is obviously a spy sent by the bandits. I am afraid that you will fall into the bandits' plan and put the people in the city in danger. You

Why do you want to frame me?"

Zhang Weile sneered repeatedly and said: "Li Yi has been seriously injured and it will be difficult for him to go far. I will lead the cavalry to capture him. By then, whether he is a repeat offender of Li Yi or a bandit, the prefect must keep an eye on him."

Eyes, see clearly."

After saying that, he waved his riding whip and led more than thirty riders to gallop towards the city gate.

When he arrived at the city gate, he took out the seal and said loudly: "I am supervising the censor Zhang Weile, and by order of the imperial court, I am arresting the felon Li Yi. Please open the city gate as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the gears on the city gate turning and creaking. The city gate slowly expanded from the narrow gap that only allowed one person to pass through to be able to accommodate the cavalry.

Seeing such a success, Zhang Weile felt vaguely uneasy. He was just eager to achieve success and no longer thought about it. He immediately went out with his guards to chase Li Yi.

Just thirty feet out of the city gate, I saw a person standing in the open space, dressed in blood. It was not Li Yi or someone else.

When he saw that Li Yi was covered in blood and stopped running away, he thought he had given up on escaping because he saw that he could not escape.

Immediately, he reined in his horse and shouted coldly: "Li Yi, you have committed a heinous crime by killing everyone in the Sun family. Why don't you just surrender and go back with me for trial?"

As he spoke, dozens of cavalrymen surrounded Li Yi behind him. At this point, Zhang Weile let out a long sigh of relief.

Although Li Yi was surrounded by heavy soldiers, he did not panic. Instead, he laughed and said: "Zhang Weile, everyone knows your dirty thoughts, why hide it like this anymore."

The cavalrymen in the narration are all Zhang Weile's confidants, and he is not afraid of anyone leaking it. He smiled sinisterly and said: "Li Yi, no matter how many tricks you have, so what? You, a little pariah, can't do what we are planning."

What? What can you do to stop it?"

"Didn't you say that I am powerless? Then today I want you to have a taste of my methods. Have a good taste of my methods."

Li Yi showed his snow-white teeth, which contrasted sharply with the blood on his face and were very bright.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook slightly, and it became more and more violent.

Animals have very keen senses. The war horse first sensed the danger and whirled in panic. Zhang Weile's riding skills were not good and he was thrown off the horse by the sudden bump and fell dizzy.

The war horse neighed and fled in a hurry, while Zhang Weile stood up in panic and looked at the stern-faced guard beside him without knowing why.

Each of the guards looked at the night in the distance. They clearly felt that something was approaching quickly there, like an evil ghost hiding in the night, bringing endless killing and death.

"Sir, that's the sound of cavalry charging."

Thunder rang in his ears, and the words of the guard reached Zhang Weile's ears.

Zhang Weile's face instantly turned pale.

Sanli~

Erli~

One mile~

The night in the distance seemed to be trembling, and a black line on the blurry horizon became thicker and thicker, turning into tall black shadows, lined up like demons, speeding towards here.

.

During the suffocating wait, Zhang Weile felt that this moment was extremely long. There was a faint sound of thunder coming from the horizon, and the earth under his feet also trembled gently.

After all, his eyes should be filled with hope. He hoped that everything was just a fright, that these demons falling from the sky were just a terrifying misunderstanding.

Finally, the figure of the devil gradually became clear. It was a cavalry, a fully armed cavalry!

It was close, it was finally close. When Zhang Weile saw clearly the fierce banner fluttering in the wind, his already tense heart suddenly lost its vitality, because the banner was embroidered with the words "Long".

The three words "pingzhai".

Those were the horse troops of Yue Bufan, the leader of the bandits in Pingzhai. They were bandits and wolves.

Looking back at the city gate that he had called open, the truth of everything suddenly became clear. In the end, he had fallen into the trap of Li Wensheng and Li Yi.

…

Qi Shamu held up his horse and galloped wildly. Five hundred horsemen and thieves followed closely behind him. The huge cavalry formation was like a wave from hell, carrying the power of crushing everything, like the sky falling apart and the earth cracking.

The stormy waves crashed on the shore and rolled towards the city gate.

The ground under his feet receded like a tide, and there was only the roar of strong horses hitting the ground between the sky and the earth. The whole field trembled and trembled. Looking at the Baoding City in front of him, fierce pride burned in Qi Shamu's chest.

, burning his eyes.

"kill!"

Qi Shamu roared loudly, pointed the horse pole at the city gate in his hand, and at the same time flicked the horse's head, kicked the horse's belly, and ran towards the city gate.

"kill!"

The five hundred thieves and horsemen responded with a roar. The sound was like thunder. Thousands of iron hooves stirred up the dust in the sky. Like a rolling iron stream, they instantly passed Qi Shamu and continued to sprint forward. The row of cavalry in front suppressed the spears pointing straight into the void.

, dozens of sharp spears shattered the cold murderous intent, forming a suffocating forest of death.

During this charge, no one cared about the dozens of officers and soldiers blocking the front. In their eyes, there was only the city, only wealth, and only killing.

The guards around Zhang Weile immediately wanted to get on their horses and escape, but no matter how hard they beat the horses, the horses that did not accelerate were quickly overtaken by the horsemen. The spears flashed with cold light, and the cold spear blades pierced into the human body.

Bring out a large amount of blood, and also take away that fragile life.

Zhang Weile knelt down on the ground in a daze, despair blooming in his eyes, which was also his last highlight.

He looked up at Li Yi standing in front of him, with a dull look on his face, and said in a stiff tone: "Why? Why? Why did I lose to you, a pariah?"

At this time, he was still deeply immersed in his own ideals.

Li Yi shook his head and had no words.

He didn't know if he didn't want to answer or if he didn't bother to answer, but at this time, any words were so pale.

The Xiuchundao waved, and Dou Da's head slipped from Zhang Weile's neck, and blood splashed into the sky on Li Yi's face. A trace of warmth spread into his body, which actually made the coldness of the night wind subside slightly.

Li Yi looked at Zhang Weile, whose head was missing, and let out a long breath.

In any case, he finally solved the threat from the imperial court.

Without Zhang Weile's pressing step by step, without the cruel calculations of the imperial court, without the wanton play by those above, I really should take a long breath of relief. These days, I am really tired.

Of course, before taking a break, he had more important things to solve, which was the chaos after the bandits entered the city.

The thieves' horse army roared and galloped. When the soldiers on the city noticed something was wrong and wanted to close the city gate, the horse army was already approaching at a gallop, aiming straight for the wide-open city gate.

It's close, it's finally close~~

"drive!"

Qi Shamu roared angrily, spurred his horse and raised his gun, and blew through the city gate like a whirlwind. The horse's hooves struck heavily on the thick stone slabs, making a dull and loud noise, which erupted like thunder.

Li Wensheng and Jin Yiwei Qianhu, who were originally waiting at the city gate, fled quickly when the bell rang. So when Qi Shamu led the horse army into the city, there was no soldier to stop him, and he entered unimpeded.

Baoding City.

Just as they were celebrating happily, a group of soldiers rushed down from the city gate and charged at them without fear of death.

These are the soldiers responsible for city defense. Now that thieves and horsemen have entered the city, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken. However, despite this, more than 50 of the hundreds of soldiers guarding the city gate still chose to go down to the city to resist.

Seeing that this group of officers and soldiers were so "stupid", Qi Shamu immediately led his horse army to charge and fight. In a moment, the fifty-man army of officers and soldiers had been severely compressed. The leader of the hundred households was covered in blood and looked like a crazy tiger.

They rushed forward and tried to force the bandits out of the city, but their numbers were still too small. Under the charge and slashing attack of the 500-horse army, the entire army was wiped out in less than a quarter of an hour.

Qi Shamu watched with bright eyes those fifty officers and soldiers being slaughtered, silently riding on horseback. Although he couldn't bear it, at this moment he was no longer the same as those people. He had become a bandit. When the two met, they would be together forever.

Someone is going to die.

He looked at the deserted streets and could see the frightened eyes in the house. He thought for a while and said: "The whole army will immediately go to the west of the city to plunder money and food. No one is allowed to leave the team. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

Qi Shamu rode his horse like the wind, galloping past the corpses of officers and soldiers lying in a pool of blood. The sound of cavalry's hoofbeats sounded in the night sky, making the entire Baoding city tremble slightly.

In the unknown and dark place, the snorts of rogues and the grunts of war horses intertwined together, lingering continuously.

The dark red firelight reflected Li Yi's indifferent face, like two will-o'-the-wisps. His eyes were burning faintly, his hands were intertwined on his chest, and he leaned forward. His whole body seemed to be swelling, and a pair of determined eyes were fixed.

Facing Baoding Mansion that was in chaos.

In the darkness, Yue Bufan's cold voice suddenly sounded: "This is the price that must be paid. You should have known it before."

"No, this is not the price." Li Yi corrected him coldly, "This is my sin! No one in this world deserves to die, let alone anyone who will die for me. These are all my sins."

Yue Bufan was slightly silent and said: "There are really only two thousand officers and soldiers in the city? If the cavalry cannot stabilize the situation, the entire army will be annihilated when the officers and soldiers rush into the city, and the army will also suffer heavy losses. The situation will collapse to the point where it cannot be restored.

"

Li Yi said coldly: "No matter what, only three thousand thieves can enter Baoding City. This is an agreement between you and me."

Yue Bufan looked at the huge city and suddenly sighed and said: "Such a big city, if we attack it in one go and seize the city by force, then we will probably be as rich as the rest of the country, and you won't be tempted at all?"

Li Yi said flatly: "No!"

"Why are you so willing? Do you really just want to get rid of Zhang Weile and have no other thoughts?" Yue Bufan asked.

Li Yi was silent.
