He Yaowu walked slowly in the middle of the team, escorted by his own servants, surrounded by three small bosses invited this time. Originally, he invited four bandits from Henan and Shanxi this time, hoping to set an ambush to capture Chen Hongyan.

They threatened Li Yi, but they didn't expect that one of them led more than fifty thieves to chase him, but he ended up dead.

After listening to Oda Ichiro's report, He Yaowu now looked solemn.

"You mean the master who suddenly appeared, named Li Yi, Li Zizheng?"

He Yaowu's tone was a little suspicious. He couldn't understand why Li Yi suddenly appeared here.

The wound on Oda Ichiro's left shoulder had been bandaged properly. He followed He Yaowu respectfully and said, "Yes, my subordinates and visitors exchange names by name. He himself said that he is Li Zizheng."

Listening to Ichiro Oda's answer, He Yaowu's face showed some worry.

Li Yi has arrived now, does it mean that the Anxin Railway Brigade is not far from here?

If the Anxin Railway Brigade arrived, not only would he not be able to capture Chen Hongyan again, but he would also most likely turn from a hunter into a prey and be trapped in this mountain forest.

But if he couldn't catch Chen Hongyan today, he might not have another chance.

Thinking of Li Yi's revenge methods, He Yaowu couldn't help but feel palpitations. At that time, he was afraid that he would have no other choice but to flee at sea.

Just when He Yaowu was feeling uneasy, Li Yi had quietly approached the bandit's team.

He had been hiding in the canopy of a big tree for a long time, just waiting for this moment.

The bow slowly opened, Li Yi took a deep breath, controlled the pounding in his heart, and aimed the long arrow at the leader in the middle of the bandit team. He had already recognized it. The one walking in the middle was He Yaowu, and the companion

Beside him were three burly men, including Ichiro Oda, who had seriously injured himself before.

With a flash of coldness in his eyes, Li Yi slowly pulled the bow string to full capacity, and when the string was loosened, the arrow shot out like lightning, with strong momentum.

At the moment when the sound of the bow trembled, Oda Ichiro's vigilance that he had cultivated for many years suddenly rose. He had no time to think, and his whole body tilted and was about to roll to the left, but the speed of the arrow was too fast, and his

As soon as his body moved, the arrow shot into his right chest with a whistling sound. Because the force was too great, Oda Ichiro only had time to scream in agony before he was knocked backwards by the arrow and fell heavily to the ground.

This sudden attack shocked the surrounding bandits. They immediately became confused and looked around to try to entertain the attackers.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yi continued to draw his bow and shoot arrows. The strong man next to He Yaowu was shot from his mouth by an arrow. The arrow came out of his head. He was nailed to death without even a scream.

Seeing that the masters around him were dead and injured, He Yaowu's back was instantly soaked. He did not dodge like the others, but looked at the direction of the arrow in horror.

He understood that if Li Yi wanted to kill himself, the arrow just shot him.

"Li Zizheng, the hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. I, He Yaowu, would rather die than compromise." He Yaowu roared loudly, his eyes as wide as copper bells, staring fiercely into the dense forest.

Li Yi, who had jumped off the branch, turned to look behind him and sighed softly.

He didn't kill He Yaowu directly just now. What he wanted was for the two parties to settle their differences.

Although the He family has a hostile relationship with him, in fact, both He Yaowu and He Yaozu have good personal relationships with him.

He Yaowu valued his own strength and made good friends with him. He helped him contact shipping and provided him with sophisticated weapons. It can be said that they were mutually reinforcing each other.

He Yaozu always wanted to join the Fuguo Society and fulfill his ambition of working hard for the people, so he respected and helped him, and later betrayed his family.

It can be said that the reason why the He family turned against themselves was just to compete for the powerful position of Baoding Mansion. The importance of family interests made them choose the overall situation instead of their own personal affairs.

Li Yi understood that he wanted to reconcile, and Mr. He might not know that reconciliation was the best choice.

But the existence of hatred makes people not have so many choices. In this era, no matter how great the interests are, no one dares to violate the rules of repaying kindness and revenge easily. Unless he is not afraid of being betrayed by others and losing his reputation.

"call out……"

Li Yi took a bow and shot an arrow, and one arrow hit a thief in the chest. The thief was shocked again.

Li Yi gave He Yaowu an answer with his actions. If he could not reconcile, he could only fight to the death.

He Yaowu's eyes were sharp. He looked at the direction in which the arrow was coming and shouted, "Go after it."

The thieves were frightened by Li Yi's elusive archery skills. They immediately obeyed the order and quickly sent out dozens of people to catch up.

Li Yi was galloping in the mountains and forests. The terrain was complicated in the dark night, and the thieves could not speed up at all. However, Li Yi had excellent eyesight, and he was even more powerful at the moment. He drew the bow like a full moon, and his arrows flew like meteors. Every arrow pounced on him.

The thieves are like chains that seize the soul, shooting the target on the spot.

The two parties chased each other for several miles in the mountains and forests. Not only did the thieves and the bandits not even see anyone, more than twenty people on their own side were shot to death, all with one arrow.

Gradually, the thieves began to hesitate and their pursuit slowed down. They were frightened by Li Yi's magic arrows and were frightened.

Li Yi climbed up a tree. Under the bright moonlight, he could see thieves chasing each other not far away with frightened faces. The excitement of taking human lives in the dark filled his heart with a murderous desire.

Feeling the pleasure, he drew his bow suddenly, pointed the tip of the cold arrow at the pursuing thief, and narrowed his eyes.

He knew that these thieves had reached their limit.

Standing down from a high position, Li Yi showed his murderous intent like a god of death. There was a sound of a string and a long arrow whizzed towards him. The thief at the front was shot through the head by an arrow and fell to the ground with a scream.

Along the way, the thieves heard many such screams, and the heavy pressure made their nerves tense. The screams at this moment were like the straw that broke the camel's back, frightening the last dozen thieves to death.

They all turned around and ran away. The moonlight flashed in Li Yi's eyes. He drew out his sword and jumped down from the tree. He killed two thieves who were trying to run with two swords. Then he dropped the empty arrow pot and picked up arrows from the ground to chase them.

superior.

At this moment, the roles of hunter and prey have changed.

By the time all the thieves had fled back to the main force, there were now less than twenty of the original sixty-odd people. After just a pursuit, most of them were killed or injured.

He Yaowu's face was full of anger, but anyone who looked at it could detect a hint of panic.

Anyone who encounters such an opponent can only feel deeply powerless.

The cold arrows were constantly harassing the rebel soldiers, but He Yaowu kept biting his lips and urging the rebel soldiers to move forward.

Each arrow shot represents the death of a bandit. This is a black and white and impermanent chain of fate, and it is also the unknown death hidden in the darkness.

When the bandits finally arrived at the valley, less than two hundred people were killed or injured.

A surviving leader finally couldn't bear the threat of death and chose to leave in order to survive.

He Yaowu made no attempt to persuade him to stay because he knew that he could not persuade him to stay either.

The departure of the thief leader greatly reduced the strength of the thief soldiers, and the number of soldiers was only more than a hundred in an instant. Once someone made the first choice, there was always no shortage of followers. For a while, there were thiefs who chose to escape out of fear. The thief who had just become so powerful

The fire snake slowly turned into a harmless earthworm, hovering at the mouth of the valley.

With less than a hundred troops left, He Yaowu could not climb up the high slope to attack the female soldiers. Li Yi did not continue to attack and kill them because he did not have many arrows left.

The two sides fell into a silent confrontation, but everyone knew that success or failure was already determined.

He Yaowu has become the losing party.

By the early morning of the next day, He Yaowu led his servants and began to withdraw from the mountain forest. They understood that Baoding Mansion at this moment was already within Li Yi's sphere of influence, and staying here would be tantamount to death.

Li Yi also led Chen Hongyan and others out of the mountain forest. When the group returned to the mountain road that entered the mountain forest yesterday, they happened to encounter the soldiers and horses of the first sentry of the private camp stationed here. Leading them was Zhang San, the camp commander.

Seeing that it was one of their own, the tense nerves of the Detachment of Women finally relaxed. They gathered around and cheered loudly, thankful that they were finally out of danger.

Zhang San walked over quickly and said with concern on his face: "Commander of the Brigade, where did you go yesterday? We are very worried."

Li Yi waved his hand and said: "We will discuss the specific situation later. You send someone to escort the Detachment of Women back to Anxin, and the rest will go with me to chase He Yaowu."

He Yaowu's power is at sea. If he wants to escape at this moment, he will definitely move to the sea from the south.

"Go after He Yaowu?" Zhang San was slightly startled, but he also knew that now was not the time to ask, so he had to go down and make arrangements.

But Li Yi changed his mind and realized that He Yaowu was not an ordinary person. He should have concluded that he would send people to chase him, so that he would never go south again. If he did not go south, He Yaowu would most likely take the risk and pass through Baoding Prefecture to Dengzhou.

Thinking of this, he stopped Zhang San and said: "You send a message to Wang Kui and Yong Ding to intercept He Yaowu in Dingxing, Rongcheng and Xiong County by the Baigou River, and then ask Zhao Youlin to intercept him around the Yudai River. It must be

Stop He Yaowu."

Zhang San quickly accepted the order and went down to make arrangements.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the brave men from the private camp had gathered together. Zhang San sent a group of brave men to escort the Detachment of Women back to recover from their injuries, and he personally led the rest of the men to follow Li Yi southward.

Li Yi personally led a group of cavalry to pursue them quickly. After two hours, they arrived north of the Tang River.

"Commander of the Brigade, Zhang Deng's secret disk said that there are no people going to the south from Tanghe today." Zhang San rushed over and said.

Li Yi nodded when he heard this and said: "In this case, He Yaowu must have taken the risk to go to sea from Dengzhou, and we will go to Renqiu first."

Renqiu is around the Yudai River. It is the fastest to go to Dengzhou from here.

The group of people quickly turned to Renqiu. Before they reached the Yudai River, Yong Ding and his horse came to report. They blocked He Yaowu and others who wanted to flee to Dengzhou at the Yudai River.

Li Yi quickly speeded up his horse, and the group arrived at the Yudai River and met Zhao Youlin.

Seeing Li Yi arriving, Zhao Youlin looked indifferent, clasped his fists and saluted: "Commander of the brigade, fortunately you did not disgrace your order, my subordinates blocked He Yaowu."

Li Yi nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, You Lin. Please lead me there."

Zhao Youlin got on his horse and took Li Yi to the Yudai River.

Originally, He Yaowu wanted to go to Dengzhou via Renqiu, and then go out to sea to join the fleet. However, he did not expect that Li Yi was so clever that he guessed his way earlier and sent troops to intercept him.

Being able to deliver the news to various places in Baoding Prefecture in just one hour shows Li Yi's control over Baoding Prefecture.

He Yaowu only had a dozen guards around him, and he was disguised in disguise. Unexpectedly, he prepared so many means, but in the end he still couldn't escape.

Seeing Li Yi arriving, He Yaowu walked in without any panic.

Last night, Li Yi had given him too much fright. Now, although he was at a disadvantage, he was able to deal with it calmly.

Since fighting means bloodshed, if you don't have the determination to bleed yourself, how can you make your enemy bleed?
