Xiao Chen ignored Wang Zhongzhen's insults and looked at Mr. Zhang who looked ashen-faced with a smile.
"My skills are good. In today's Ming Dynasty, not many people can escape my sword."
It was not beyond Xiao Chen's expectation that the opponent could dodge his sword. If the opponent could be killed easily with this sword, it would not be worth trying every possible means to lure the opponent here.
Mr. Zhang, on the other hand, was extremely angry, but he couldn't get angry.
He thought that Xiao Chen would definitely attack him while his back was turned, but he didn't expect that Xiao Chen would continue to do such shameless things after he swore that he was not such a shameless person. Mr. Zhang was really a bit shameless.
Be true to your word.
If it weren't for my extraordinary skills, I would be smiling happily here today.
And if I fall under his knife, no one here tonight will survive.
Then the great cause that I have been planning for half my life will completely fail because of this.
Mr. Zhang, who had always been calm, gradually began to sweat a layer of sweat on his forehead.
Raising his left arm, General Zhang pushed Wang Zhongzheng back: "Take everyone and retreat quickly."
"General, where are you? If you want to go, let's go together. If you want to stay, let's stay together." Wang Zhongzhen was pushed away a step, but he still stood stubbornly.
He knew that Mr. Zhang was very powerful, but when he saw Xiao Chen's skill today, he couldn't help but worry about Mr. Zhang.
At this time, Xiao Chen wanted to kill people like himself, but Mr. Zhang was worried. Under this situation, Mr. Zhang was already at a disadvantage.
If Mr. Zhang really has his faults, how will people like him do anything in the future?
"Let's go, won't you listen to my order?" Mr. Zhang growled.
Hearing Mr. Zhang's anger, Wang Zhongzhen became even more worried.
All this time, Mr. Zhang had never lost his composure in front of Wang Zhongzhen like he did today. This only shows that Xiao Chen's knife just now had already shocked Mr. Zhang.
Under this situation, if I just walk away, I have to ask myself, I can't do it. Even if I want to die, I will never allow Mr. Zhang to die alone.
"If I don't leave, I will live and die with the general." Wang Zhongzhen shouted and took out the sharp knife from his waist.
Seeing Wang Zhongzheng like this, the men in black drew their weapons one after another: "We will live or die with the general!"
Mr. Zhang's face was livid, and he was about to scold them again, but Xiao Chen burst into laughter: "It's so touching, we have to die together."
Turning his head, he looked at Mr. Zhang who was jealous and depressed, and said coldly: "Are you still a general? I don't know where you are as a general? Are you a general of the Ming Dynasty, or a general of rebellious officials and traitors?"
That cold tone seemed as if he had regarded everyone as his own possessions, casually.
"Alas..." Mr. Zhang sighed deeply.
It's not that I'm sighing that my skills are inferior to others, and I'm afraid I'll be massacred tonight. It's that I'm sighing that Wang Zhongzhen has been with me for almost his whole life, and he still can't understand what is more important.
Ignoring Xiao Chen's words, he slowly looked at the angry-eyed Wang Zhongzhen and the equally angry men in black.
"You guys really disappoint me."
Seeing Mr. Zhang's lonely expression, Wang Zhongzhen was stunned and lowered his head in shame: "General!"
"Have you forgotten what our original intention is? Have you forgotten what our mission is? For my sake, you have actually forgotten the only request I made to you at the beginning: Preserving strength is the first priority at all times. You, too
Let me down."
For a moment, Mr. Zhang seemed much older, and his originally straight waist gradually became a little hunched.
"Remember," Mr. Zhang suddenly raised his head, a ray of light shot out from his eyes, "I will say it for the last time today, all of us are born for the mission."
After hearing this, Wang Zhongzhen's eyes became even more ashamed.
Putting the sharp blade in his hand back into his waist, Wang Zhongzhen saluted Mr. Zhang: "General, I know my mistake. I will lead everyone away now."
Immediately, he jumped on the spot and jumped on the horse. He waved his right hand fiercely: "Retreat."
In the darkness, Wang Zhongzhen took the lead and galloped away.
The men in black seemed to realize that they were in the wrong, so they mounted their horses one after another, raised clouds of dust on the official road, and disappeared into the night.
Seeing those men in black leave, Duan Tianming was about to take action, but Xiao Chen stretched out his arm to block him.
"Let them go."
Although he didn't know who these people were, the spirit of fighting to the death and not retreating that they had just shown touched Xiao Chen deeply in his heart.
Today, for the sake of your loyalty, I will let you go. I will kill you completely someday.
Turning around and looking at Mr. Zhang who was now alone, Xiao Chen smiled faintly: "Can you tell me where you are as a general?"
"Is this important?" Mr. Zhang said calmly.
As Wang Zhongzhen left, Mr. Zhang's self-confidence reappeared. He looked at Xiao Chen with his deep eyes, as if he had a lot to say, but he swallowed it back.
"It's very important. Your answer will determine your life or death." He gently stroked the blade in his hand, and the threat in Xiao Chen's words was self-evident.
"If I don't tell you, are you going to kill me on the spot?" Mr. Zhang put his hands behind his back, as if he had no intention of taking action.
"It would be a waste to kill a peerless master like you. But if you are a harm to the court if you are left alive, I don't mind doing anything with you. So, while you still have a chance to speak, I will kill you."
Tell me everything about your identity and background." Xiao Chen stretched out his left hand and flicked the blade as thin as a cicada's wing.
"Ding..." A crisp sound floated away in the silent night sky.
It seems like the sweet sound of harps, but also seems to be the seductive sound of hell.
"There is no need to waste time. I also want to feel how good the Ming Dynasty's only purple-robed captain, the uncrowned king, is." Mr. Zhang said in a low voice without any expression in his deep eyes.
"It only takes a moment to take action. However, before I take action, I still can't figure out one thing. With such skill, why are you willing to be a guard under King Zhao? Do you think that King Zhao can inherit the throne?
Win the throne." Seeing that Mr. Zhang was not interested, Xiao Chen had to change the topic.
It was easy to do it, but what Xiao Chen wanted to know more was this person's true identity and what he was planning.
"Who is Zhu Gaosui, who deserves to be involved in the Ming Dynasty?" Mr. Zhang turned around slightly and looked at Xiao Chen with a smile in his eyes.
But those words made Xiao Chen feel as cold as ice for a moment.
