The excavation work was still in progress, and Song Bokang was waiting outside. A large number of soldiers gathered here to dig out Li Xingzai as soon as possible.
For Li Xingzai, he did not want to kill him and could not kill him. But for the people who took Li Xingzai away, Song Bokang felt that he must let them know what torture is.
rustle!
This was the sound of shovels digging into the earth. It kept ringing in the dark night, and it felt like a swarm of ants eating a wild boar. Song Bokang couldn't help but become nervous, but he couldn't tell where this emotion came from. He stretched out his hand to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead.
, he asked: "Why, haven't you dug it out yet?"
"My lord, my lord..."
The subordinate's voice was stammering, which made Li Xingzai feel that something bad was about to happen.
"What's wrong?"
"Dig, dig to the end!"
"What!"
Song Bokang couldn't believe it, but he subconsciously accepted this fact. He walked quickly and found that the tunnel disappeared as he approached the city wall, and there were hard bricks in front of him.
In an instant, Song Bokang realized what had happened. The tunnel was fake and was meant to attract his attention, but the purpose was to allow Li Xingzai to escape through the real tunnel.
There were hard facts before him. There was even an ugly toad painted with charcoal at the end of the tunnel. It was indeed the style of Toad City. Song Bokang suspected that Cheng Dalei would even be present here in person today.
"Quickly, find the real tunnel!" Song Bokang shouted.
At the same time, Li Xingzai finally crawled out of the hole. In front of him was an endless wasteland with stars all over his head. Li Xingzai fell to the ground, gasping for air, letting the cold air seep into his lungs. For the first time in his life, he felt like he was just breathing.
It is also such a joyful thing.
"Hey, let's go. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave." Bai Yuanfei patted him on the shoulder.
"Where is Cheng Dalei? Where is Cheng Dalei?"
"Hey, who is the master? Why should he be used for such a task?" Bai Yuanfei said disdainfully.
In fact, Bai Yuanfei was just talking about it. Cheng Dalei actually arrived today. However, if he appeared near Liangzhou City, the target would be too big and would be easily detected. So today, Cheng Dalei only brought three thousand brothers to ambush him in the distance.
, just waiting for Bai Yuanfei to take the people back, everyone returned to Toad City together.
Bai Yuanfei led Li Xingzai forward and pulled out three war horses that had been hidden in the woods. There was not much time left for the three of them. They knew that the disguised tunnel would not last long. Once discovered, the three of them wanted to
I'm afraid it's too late to leave.
As soon as the three of them walked out of the woods, they met head-on with a group of Liangzhou soldiers. There were five of them, all on horseback.
"Who is it?" the leader of the team shouted loudly.
"Haha, we are Lord Song's team, don't you all recognize your own people?" Bai Yuanfei said immediately.
The other team leader was stunned, and saw the three of them approaching gradually, and immediately recognized Bai Yuanfei.
"It's the enemy who stole His Highness. Go and inform Mr. Zhou Mu!"
Then a dagger came towards him and shot into his throat. Bai Yuanfei jumped up from his horse and threw himself at the next enemy.
Such a surprising method really shocked the five-man team. In a short period of time, Bai Yuanfei had killed three people, but two of them still escaped.
In fact, neither Bai Yuanfei nor Wang De are generals who fight on the battlefield. They are just a flying thief or a tomb robber. They can survive for such a long time in the world. They still have abilities, but they are not strong.
If it were the Qin Man, Zhao Zilong would encounter a team of a hundred people here, and he would be confident that he could lead them away. But neither of them has the ability of the Qin Man. If they really encounter a large army, the three of them will definitely die.
"Let's go!"
Bai Yuanfei withdrew his dagger and whipped the horse hard.
The three horses ran wildly in the dark night, escaping in the direction of Toad City. At this time, Cheng Dalei was waiting in the mountain col with his brothers.
The person next to Cheng Dalei is Zhao Zilong, with thousands of troops entering and exiting seven times. If he is in a deserted place, Cheng Dalei naturally hopes that he can play some role today.
The brothers led by him are all from the Dragon Team under Zhao Zilong. The Dragon Team is composed entirely of cavalry and is a light cavalry team, which is suitable for such a task.
Today's task is not easy. Cheng Dalei's purpose is to pick up the people and leave. It is best not to have a head-on conflict with the Liangzhou soldiers. Of course, if there is a real fight, Cheng Dalei will not care much. Since getting the black cow, Cheng Dalei has not received any
Went on the battlefield with it.
"Master, do you want me to go and see what's going on over there?" Zhao Zilong.
Time passes minute by minute, and the longer it drags on, the worse the situation on Bai Yuanfei's side becomes.
"No, let's wait here and wait and see what happens." Cheng Dalei glanced at Zhao Zilong and said, "You are also commanding three thousand people now. Don't just take action yourself. This is not what you should do."
Zhao Zilong lowered his head, but Cheng Dalei estimated that he would still charge into the battle next time. After all, it is easy to change the situation. In fact, most of the five tiger generals in Toad City have this kind of temper, and they will never use their brains when they can take action.
.
At this time, Song Bokang had just obtained the whereabouts of Li Xingzai. One of his men galloped over on horseback, panting: "My lord, my lord, I have found your highness, in the west direction of the city."
"Have you found it?" Song Bokang said impatiently: "Hurry up, we must rescue His Highness today, even if it is..." Song Bokang bit his teeth and spit out three words: "Kill him."
When he couldn't get it, he destroyed him with his own hands. Song Bokang was not lacking in cruelty in this regard. Now he had murderous intentions towards Li Xingzai in his heart.
The army gathered towards the west of the city, and Song Bokang took the lead and chased them out. In fact, there was no formation. As long as they arrived first, they chased them out immediately.
Li Xingzai and three others galloped wildly. They heard the sound of horse hooves behind them getting closer and closer. Looking back, they saw that they were all dark cavalry.
"Your Highness, please stay, please stay, there is nothing wrong with doing this!"
The Liangzhou soldiers shouted one after another, but to Li Xingzai's ears, it sounded like the whispers of a devil.
To be honest, he is treated well in Liangzhou City. He can have women and good food, and many of his wishes can be fulfilled in Liangzhou City. But the reason why these two things are precious is because they obtained them with their own hands.
rather than a gift from others.
Moreover, Liangzhou City could not give him the most important thing:
He is going to Chang'an to relieve the siege of Chang'an.
A scout rushed back and said, "Master, Your Highness has been rescued."
"Yeah, this couldn't be better."
"It's just that they were chased by many Liangzhou soldiers, numbering at least tens of thousands."
"ah!"
Cheng Dalei's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
