The moon on the river is only a few feet away, and the wind lantern illuminates the night for the third watch.

Lu Chengfeng, Wu Jingmo and Tian Zifang had withdrawn from the accounting room. Wei Laoqi, who was left behind, continued to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Mr. Na Fan.

The inside of the Caobang is like a maze composed of large and small courtyards. In order to avoid getting dizzy in the twists and turns in the Caobang, the three of them can only follow the path they just came from and go back to the original path.

return.

In the blink of an eye, we were back at the waterside where the River God Ceremony was held.

At this time, the hustle and bustle had long since subsided, leaving only the reflection of the curved moon on the tranquil water, with a hint of desolation in the silence.

The confidence in Lu Chengfeng's heart was instantly knocked to the ground, and he looked sad all the way!

Wu Jingmo also looked melancholy and sighed:

"Why is there no trace again? In the past two days, my people have searched all the people who should be searched, and the city gates are also firmly in their hands. The soldiers of the government report the latest developments to me from time to time.

I hold on tightly and dare not relax at all. Alas..."

"Brother Jingmo, why don't you bring more people over tomorrow and search him!"

Lu Chengfeng also had a frown on his face, so he had no choice but to make this decision.

The Cao Gang's territory is so large that it will be difficult for the four of them to search it all tonight. Moreover, on their territory, it is inevitable that the enemy will be outnumbered and the power disparity will be too great. In addition, some people from the Cao Gang

With such ferocity, they might all be silenced overnight.

In short, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, so we should take a long-term approach tomorrow.

"Let's go back tonight. Let's have a good sleep first and recharge ourselves. Then we can fight him for 300 rounds tomorrow!"

Lu Chengfeng climbed up to the left and pulled on the shoulders of Tian Zifang and Wu Jingmo, encouraging himself.

Along the waterside road, after a short walk, the three of them had already touched the base of the wall where they stopped when they first arrived.

The three horses were standing there, resting with their eyes closed, their long tails hanging down, motionless.

The three of them jumped on their horses one by one, and saw the ten-mile-long horizontal wave flag fluttering in the wind, slowly retreating, becoming smaller and smaller.

Soon, they left the Caobang territory.

"Help! Sir! Help!"

I could only hear someone behind me screaming for help, accompanied by the sound of galloping horse hooves, running towards me from afar.

"Why do I feel that this voice is so familiar?" Tian Zifang said in shock.

Before the three of them could react, they heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, followed by a large wave of iron hooves and footsteps, pressing towards them in waves.

"No! It's Wei Laoqi!" Tian Zifang shouted!

But they saw that the figure in front of Pegasus and Meteor had quickly caught up with the three of them.

And the person who immediately ran for his life was none other than Wei Laoqi who had just parted ways with them!

"Wei Lao Qi! What's going on!" Lu Chengfeng could only ask loudly while riding his horse and whipping his whip, keeping pace with Wei Lao Qi.

Four horses galloped side by side on the cross street from the north to the west of the city.

"Chief! The chief wants to kill me!" A large mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out from Wei Laoqi's mouth.

The eyes of the horse under him were dyed red by the blood. It seemed to be frightened for a moment. It raised its head high, neighed for a long time, raised its front hooves, and jumped!

Wei Laoqi was about to be knocked off his horse! He had no choice but to lie low on the horse's back, hold the reins tightly with both hands, and use all his strength to push him back into position.

The horse was so frightened that he jolted again! He was thrown away heavily!

Soon after, Tian Zifang flew up, turned over like a kite, did a somersault in the air, and quickly caught Wei Laoqi in a flash.

Together, the two of them landed steadily on the bluestone floor of Cross Street.

"Wei Laoqi, what's going on? Where is Mr. Fan? Are you trying to persuade him to go together? Where are the others?"

Tian Zifang shook Wei Laoqi who fell in his arms and asked anxiously.

"Fan, Mr. Fan, is dead." Wei Laoqi vomited a large mouthful of blood, his voice was broken. After saying that, he fainted.

Tian Zifang had no choice but to lay him flat on the road first.

When he lowered his head and looked down, he saw that Wei Laoqi had been stabbed in the abdomen. Perhaps he had used too much force when reining in his horse, and the wound was torn larger and deeper.

In the torn wound, his abdominal cavity has been slightly exposed, and gurgling blood gushes out from the torn gaps in his body like spring water. If he had exerted more force on his fists and feet just now, his intestines would have been torn apart.

And die!

Seeing Wei Laoqi's serious injury, Wu Jingmo couldn't help but look at him with a grim look on his face.

shouted:

"Wei Laoqi! Wei Laoqi! Wake up!"

Seeing that he was lying on the ground without any movement, he was even more shocked. He turned to Lu Chengfeng and asked:

"Isn't he dead?"

"Not yet!" Tian Zifang put his finger under Wei Laoqi's nose, gently felt his breath, and replied.

Before they could say a few words, the thundering sound of horse hooves in the distance came roaring through a cloud of dust and smoke, accompanied by countless torches, lighting up the dark night on the Cross Street.

Among the dots of firelight, a horizontal wave flag flashed, flying high in the wind.

"It's the Cao Gang! No! They're chasing us!" Wu Jingmo shouted.

"Tian Zifang! Get him on the horse quickly! Let's go!" Lu Chengfeng shouted loudly.

"It's too late!" A big man who looked like a thug wearing the most common short-fighting T-shirt of the Caogang shouted and rushed forward with a large knife in his hand.

Tian Zifang was still squatting next to Wei Laoqi. When his ears moved, he immediately noticed something was wrong with the wind behind him. He waved his backhand and directly attacked the incoming man's lower plate!

The man who was hit by him with his bare hands was treated like a somersault and fell to the ground. He got up with a grin on his face. After a closer look, he stood on the spot and cursed loudly:

"Where did I think this wild boy came from? It turns out to be you! Today you actually turned your elbows outward! You are helping an outsider! Get out of my way! What does it have to do with you as our chief helmsman cleaning up the house?"

"Fourth brother, everything happened for a reason. Today I, Mr. Tian, ​​can't forgive me! Mr. Tian will come to visit me again in the future to apologize!"

Tian Zifang stood up and cupped his fists.

Immediately, he gathered his inner strength and shot out both palms! The wind in his palms quickly spun around, and he actually knocked the fourth brother back a few feet away!

The fourth brother staggered two more steps, and with the help of people on his left and right, he stood still.

As soon as he stood still, he angrily threw away the supporting arms on his left and right. He felt that his face was shameless and shameful! He roared angrily:

"What a good Tian Zifang! You are unkind and I am unjust! Don't blame me for being rude today!"

Then he shouted loudly and said: "Give them all to me!"
Chapter completed!
