Lin Cao strode back, brushed the snow off his mount, got on his horse and glanced at the crossbow arrow stuck on the ground.
Lin Cao frowned and looked up at the road ahead.
The shot came too fast, and he didn't see clearly which direction it came from, but the person who shot the arrow might be staring at him from the front now.
Moreover, to be able to kill so many Xuanwu troops, the opponent's number should not be enough for him to deal with alone.
Lin Cao clenched the knife in his hand and stood there looking at it without taking another step.
On the third floor of a private house in the first row of houses nearest to his left, two figures stood in the darkness and looked at him.
Is it Lin Cao? Feng Ze asked.
I don’t know, Du Xuan frowned. His portrait is too ordinary and I can’t stand it, but according to the current time, he should be the one coming.
The clamor was quite ferocious, and he thought he was very clever. Feng Ze sneered, and that was it.
It's right to be cautious, Du Xuan looked at the middle-aged general on the snow and said, if he wasn't careful, he might be a dead man.
Feng Ze nodded and looked at the corpses in the alley.
Fortunately, the wild dogs were just scratching and didn't have time to bite, otherwise it would be really miserable.
They were not the ones who moved the corpses of the Xuanwu Army. The Xuanwu Army who came down from the Jinfeng Lake Bridge last night were busy going to Dongping Academy and could not let their brothers' corpses scatter on the street like this, so they moved the corpses in.
The young master said how much time can be delayed.
It's just that the sky was completely bright, and the residents near this street intersection may have a rough idea of what happened last night, but the other people in the ordinary alleys didn't know how frightened they were when they saw these corpses.
Feng Ze withdrew his gaze, looked at Lin Cao, and said: It's so bright, do you still want to take action? According to common sense, Dongping Academy should be gone by now, and those soldiers and horses should be on their way back. If they delay
When we go back, no matter how much we block the road, the troops from the other side will come over.
He still had to take action. Du Xuan raised his eyebrows and waited for an hour and a half. However, he looked towards the long street in the distance. Lin Cao's guards were moving separately. One of them had just crossed the Jinfeng Bridge in the distance, waiting for those
People walk away.
Okay, Feng Ze said, I will arrange the manpower first.

Zhu Xian leaned against the eaves of the verandah in Dongping Academy, feeling drowsy.
After hearing the news last night, he brought his people here. The intersection on both sides was blocked by groups of soldiers and horses, so he had to go over the mountain and take another way. Fortunately, nothing happened to Dongping Academy.
The confrontation is still going on outside, and the noise is loud. I have long heard that the second son of Song Shangshu is stubborn, arrogant, has a bad temper, and has a fierce personality. Now I finally see it. After this battle, his spear completely killed him.
Prestige.
However, Zhu Xian was too sleepy. He had not slept for several days and could not hold on any longer. Even if the sky fell, it would be difficult to stop him from falling asleep.
Gradually, he shouted and leaned over there, unconscious.
Li Zheng, who came with Zhu Xian, is now standing on the stone path outside the side entrance of Dongping Academy with dozens of students and looking down.
Although the streets are at a deadlock, and the situation temporarily seems to be favorable to Dongping Academy, the Xuanwu Army is not alone. They have the emperor's orders, and the entire dynasty is standing behind them.
The students around me were worried and anxious.
Li Zheng's eyes were also red.
He came from Qingshan Academy, and his family was poor when he was young. He relied on his deep teachers to support his studies. But last night, Qingshan Academy was completely gone, and I heard that the old dean also died.
Li's nose felt sore just thinking about it, and he felt sad. He raised his sleeves and shed tears.
At this time, a young man walked down the steps from the gate of Dongping Academy and walked timidly to General Song.
Manager Li didn't know what he said, but he soon saw him walking back uneasily, raising his head and shaking his head at the old gentlemen at the door.
General Song Lang was still standing, like a stone statue, looking at the Xuanwu troops without squinting.
Li Zhengfang frowned. This was not the way to go. He felt that Jingzhao Mansion should do something.
After thinking for a while, Li Cheng turned around and walked toward the door.
The heavy snow fell again, gradually getting heavier, and the tension outside was tense, like a tight string. The deep and elegant courtyard of Dongping Academy was quiet and peaceful amidst the heavy snow, and it was empty and soundless.
Li Cheng entered the school, walked towards the gate, passed through several small courtyards that were no longer occupied, and saw from a distance the veranda where Zhu Xian had said he would take a break.
etc.
Li Zheng's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he suspected that he had seen it wrong.
Zhu Xian was leaning on the corridor and fast asleep, but he was not alone. There was a thin figure outside the corridor, a girl.
The girl had just arrived and was closing her umbrella. She probably noticed his movements and looked back.
The snow-white face that seems to reflect light is as smooth as jade, the eyebrows are delicate and clean, calm and gentle.
Li Zheng's feet suddenly seemed to be nailed, and he did not dare to go any further.
The girl looked at him quietly, as if waiting for him.
A gust of wind blew, and Li Chengcheng quietly exhaled, mustered up the courage and walked away.
You, are you A Li? Li Zheng said.
It's me. Xia Zhaoyi nodded and said, are you from Jingzhao Mansion?
Li Zheng looked at Zhu Xian.
Zhu Xian snored happily.
Well Lee engaged in the echo.
I went to Jingzhao Mansion to look for you. When I learned that you were here, Xia Zhaoyi took out a letter from his sleeve and said, I kidnapped An Qiuwan and others a few days ago. I will return it to you now. The address is at
this.
?Li Cheng suspected that his ears had heard wrongly.
This girl, does she know how shocking her words are?
Why use such a bland tone?
He lowered his head and looked at the letter handed over by the girl. His fingers were a little stiff and he slowly raised it to take it.
I heard that the prison in Jingzhao Mansion was robbed? Xia Zhaoyi said.
Li Cheng nodded, not only had they been robbed, but the group of literati who escaped had committed suicide in a suicide attack on the Xuanwu Army in uniform last night, and more than half of them died.
Do you know who robbed it?
I don’t know. Li Zheng said.
Xia Zhaoyi nodded, turned to look at Zhu Xian who was sleeping soundly, and said: Zhu Xian looks very sleepy. I will leave later. Try not to wake him up and let him sleep a little longer.
Li Zhizhang looked at Zhu Xian and tightened his grip on the letters in his hand.
Say goodbye. Xia Zhaoyi said, turned and left.
Li Zongzong watched her leave under an umbrella, and her thin figure disappeared at the end of the corridor. He raised the letter in confusion and looked at the four words written by Zhu Xian on the outside of the envelope.
Forget it, since it's a kiss, he should just endure it no matter how curious he is.
However, he thought that this girl would be a perverse, violent person who was difficult to deal with, but he did not expect that she would be so beautiful and have a gentle personality.
After Xia Zhaoyi got off the corridor, he did not leave Dongping Academy by the way, but walked towards the gate of Dongping Academy.
