Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

coming!Shi En's eyes were shining, and he paced back and forth on the wide board bridge, pricking up his ears to listen carefully to the movement of the reeds in front of him.

However, Shi En waited for a long time, but did not hear any sound of fighting in the reed marshes.

But it's weird!Shi En hurriedly asked that confidant to go forward to inquire again.

Chapter 88 Escape and Pursuit

At this moment, Shi En saw another person running in a hurry.The man ran up to Shi's father and son, and shouted, "Guan Ying, it's bad! Those strangers suddenly stopped halfway, turned back and fled!"

Hearing this, Shi En raised his foot and kicked the visitor to the ground, roaring in his mouth, "How could this be? Don't talk nonsense! Are you deceiving me?"

The man lay on the ground and wailed: "Little Guanying, calm down! The villain will never dare to lie to you! Those people really escaped!"

The old Shi Guanying stood up and said in his mouth: "But you have exposed your traces? Humph! It's all so useless. Get behind and lead the horses, catch up and kill them! Those people have already noticed that we are waiting for you. Secret, let alone leave a single mouth alive."

When Shi's father and son arranged for people to ambush in the reeds in front of him early in the morning, in order to prevent the movement of the horses from revealing the ambush, he assigned several men to gather the horses, lead them to the side of Kuo Banqiao to hide them, and ordered everyone They all dismounted and ambush.

At this time, he wanted to pursue Ximen Qing and his party, but there were no horses by his side.Old Shi Guanying hurriedly sent someone to fetch the horse from behind.

After a while, several subordinates hurriedly led dozens of horses across the bridge to the archway.Shi En and his father got on the horses, and led the horses to the reeds together with several men.

"Those two drivers must have betrayed us! I'm going to cut their skin today!" Shi En said viciously while riding on the horse.

"Don't let today's events leak out! Those guys are driving a carriage with their female relatives, so they can't go far. Go after them and kill them, leaving no one behind!" The old Shi Guanying said to his confidants around him.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes on Feiyunpu's side, dozens of soldiers and prisoners who were ambushing in the reeds rushed out from both sides of the road, and looked at the approaching Shi and his son in confusion.

"You idiots, why don't you get on your horse soon? Let me chase them all! Kill them, and there will be a lot of rewards!" Shi En yelled angrily on the horse.

Hearing the words, the crowd rushed to grab the unmanned horses, got on the horses and galloped out behind Shi and his son.

……

Ximen Qing and his party hurried west for a while, Tang Long, who used to live in the Western Army barracks, rushed up from behind and said to Ximen Qing: "Brother, there are many hoofbeats coming from behind, it should be that dog thief father and son leading people I'm catching up! This carriage is going too slowly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get rid of them."

"Leave the carriage and ride away!" Ximen Qing said decisively.

Yulan stepped out of the carriage, looked at Ximen Qing and said, "Officer, I don't know how to ride a horse."

"I'll take you!" Ximen Qing relaxed his ape's arms, hugged Yulan to sit in front of him, and galloped forward.If he hadn't practiced his riding skills hard in Hujiazhuang, how could Ximen Qing lead others to gallop so easily.

Jiao Ting and Tang Long each took a treasure box, tied it to the horse's belly, and also beat the horse to follow behind Ximen Qing.The servants also took other sundries from the carriage, tied them to the horses pulling the carriage, unloaded the carriage, and led the horses away.

The two drivers knew that it would be bad luck if they stayed at this time, so they quickly untied the remaining two horses from the carriage, and followed Ximen Qing and the others to flee for their lives.

After a while, Ximen Qing and others came to a three-way intersection.The driver reported that the left is the way to the Yellow River Ferry, and the right is the way back to Mengzhou City.

Everyone stopped at the intersection, Jiao Ting and Tang Long looked at Ximen Qing and asked, "Brother, which way shall we go?"

……

Jiang Menshen led several apprentices to gallop on horseback, chasing eastward all the way.Suddenly, Xu Hu beside Jiang Menshen pointed to the front and shouted: "Master, who do you think is that?"

Jiang Menshen looked up, his face paled in shock, and he shouted, "Isn't that man Brother Qiao Yun, brother Ximen's close follower? How come he is the only one who escaped back? Alas! Where is my brother?"

Jiang Menshen urged his horse to meet him, and shouted: "Brother Qiao! I am Jiang Zhong! How is my Ximen brother?"

Brother Qiao Yun also saw Jiang Menshen and his party.The height of Jiang Menshen was so abrupt that Brother Qiao Yun recognized him from a distance.Immediately, he also shouted: "Mr. Jiang! I'm so glad to meet you! Mr. Ximen asked me to come back and report to you."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Menshen had already arrived in front of Brother Qiao Yun.The two reined in the horse hard, both surprised to meet each other here.

Jiang Menshen asked first: "Brother Qiao, why did you come back alone? My brother Ximen didn't encounter any trouble, did he?"

Brother Qiao Yun explained how Ximen Qing saw through Shi En's trick halfway, and how he told himself to rush back to Happy Forest when he was evacuating, reminding Jiang Menshen to be more careful, and came to Jiang Menshen one by one.

After saying this, Brother Qiao Yun said to Jiang Menshen: "Jiang Guanren, Brother Yun didn't expect to meet you here, it's really great! Now I can go back and chase the high officials. Why did Jiang Guanren come here in such a hurry? here?"

Jiang Menshen was very moved when he heard from Brother Qiao Yun that Ximen Qing was busy and not chaotic at critical times, and he didn't forget to send someone to deliver letters to him.My sworn brothers really have a deep sense of loyalty, which is rare in the world!

Jiang Menshen was worried, and said to Brother Qiao Yun: "Brother Qiao, let's rescue Brother Ximen first! I will tell you more about it on the way." After speaking, he rode his horse and rushed forward.

Brother Qiao Yun turned the horse's head and followed closely beside Jiang Menshen.Xu Hu, the apprentice of Jiang Menshen, also came up to say hello to Brother Qiao Yun.It turned out that Xu Hu went to Zhang Dujian's house with Jiang Menshen as a guest that day, rested and waited in the outer courtyard with Brother Qiao Yun for a night, and he and Brother Qiao Yun had already known each other.

Along the way, Jiang Menshen also briefly told Brother Qiao Yun that he had received news that Shi En and his son had brought people out of the city, and he was worried that the pair of dog father and son would be unfavorable to Ximen Brothers on the road, so he rushed here to escort Ximen brother.Unexpectedly, the dog father and son set up an ambush in front of them. Fortunately, the Simon brothers are fine for the time being.

After hearing Jiang Menshen's words, Brother Qiao Yun became more and more anxious, wishing he could fly back to Ximen Daguan with a pair of wings and defend against powerful enemies with him.

Suddenly, Xu Hu beside Brother Qiao Yun screamed: "Be careful!" He pulled Brother Qiao Yun to dodge to the left.

Brother Qiao Yun came back to his senses, only to hear the sound of "swish" in his ears, and two arrows flew backwards by brushing Brother Qiao Yun's side.

Brother Qiao Yun looked forward anxiously, and saw more than 20 riders blocking the road not far ahead, and a dozen archers in the middle were shooting randomly towards him with bows and arrows.

In the middle of the group, a man with one arm dangling was directing his men to attack.Isn't that person exactly "Golden Eye Biao" Shi En?

Jiang Menshen waved the simple knife, pushed aside the bow and arrow shot in front of him, and rushed forward immediately.Among his apprentices, one was shot in the arm and fell off the horse.The horses of the two apprentices were shot by arrows, violently throwing their masters off the horses, and running wildly in the grass by the side of the road.

"Kill it!" Brother Qiao Yun's head became hot, he pulled out his waist knife, and together with Xu Hu faced the arrow shot from the opposite side, he roared and rushed forward.

A sudden encounter begins...

Chapter 89 Horse riding golden eyes

When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous.Shi En's eyes are red now.

He and his father chased Ximen Qing and others all the way, and first found two empty carriages abandoned on the road.After chasing forward again, at the intersection of the three forks, I found that the horseshoe marks were messy, and there were traces in both directions.

In order to prevent Ximen Qing from escaping, Shi En and his father split up into two groups to pursue each other.Old Shi Guanying led people to chase towards the Yellow River Ferry, while Shi En led people to chase towards Mengzhou City.

Unexpectedly, Shi En didn't chase very far, and unexpectedly ran into Jiang Menshen and his party.

Hahaha~ Could it be that God sent this door god Jiang to me? This place is far away from Mengzhou City. As the saying goes, "the sky is high and the emperor is far away", the tuanlian beard can't save this door god Jiang.

Shi En immediately directed his archers to aim at Jiang Menshen and shoot arrows, intending to shoot him to death.

Jiang Menshen leaned over on the horse's back, wielded the simple knife in his hand, dialed the arrows shot from the opposite side, and quickly rushed to the twenty or so people led by Shi En.Jiang Menshen stood up straight and yelled violently. After stabbing an archer with a knife, he slammed into the crowd.

Shi En hid behind the crowd, cursing inwardly that the archers brought out were useless.More than ten people shot at one person, but they all missed him.

Without waiting for Shi En to think about it, Jiang Menshen yelled and slashed left and right, killing people around him on their backs, and several soldiers were cut off from their horses.

Losing the advantage of long-range attack with bows and arrows, how can these soldiers and prisoners in the prison camp be close to flesh and blood, how can they be Jiang Menshen's opponents?

At this time, among the crowd, those who stepped forward boldly were knocked off their horses by Jiang Menshen, while those who were timid went straight to hide behind their companions.The team brought by Shi En was in a mess for a while.

"Don't mess around! Cut off his horse!" The man surnamed Zhou who had been following Shi En all the time stepped forward with a knife and shouted loudly.

Someone in the team came to their senses and pointed their weapons at the horse under Jiang Menshen's crotch.The horse was stabbed several times and fell forward with a cry of grief.
