“My lord, this isn’t very convenient to buy, but your subordinate can find the best painter in the world and have him paint the most beautiful sunset. Then, we’ll hang that painting at the head of your bed, so that every morning when you wake up, you can admire the afterglow of the setting sun.

“Even though it’s fake, it’s still your subordinate’s utmost respect to you, my lord. But please rest assured, in the future, when the seven of us have fully recovered, we will definitely pluck the sun from the sky and offer it to you to play with!”

Fan Li then suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Why not just strip the painter naked, tie him to the head of the bed, so that my lord can directly…"

"............" Blind Tie.

"............" Zheng Fan.

It seemed that no matter what the dish, after adding a seasoning called Fan Li, the taste would suddenly become strange.

"They're fighting."

Liang Cheng's reminder broke the awkward atmosphere caused by the honest man.

Zheng Fan and the others, watching the fire from the other side of the river, didn't know the true identities of these assassins. However, they could clearly see that these assassins were superior to the Tiger Head City soldiers in terms of both equipment and combat ability.

If it weren't for the fact that there were only twenty or so of these assassins, if there were twice as many, these Tiger Head City soldiers might have been directly crushed after the first round of crossbow fire.

"They're the death warriors raised by the Liu family of Beifeng."

Ding Hao didn't react much to the fighting outside. From the moment he was handed over to North Kang City by the Zhenbei Army, he had been mentally prepared.

A ninth-rank martial artist was already considered a superior person at the grassroots level, but in front of a large aristocratic family, he was just a slightly larger ant.

He already knew his ending. Right now, things were simply developing in the way he had predicted.

"Wang Li, kill me, don't hesitate. Didn't you say you saw your wife vomit this morning before you came out?"

Hearing these words, a fierce look immediately appeared in Wang Li's eyes, and he raised the knife in his hand.

"Pfft!"

An assassin who had just jumped onto the prison wagon was stabbed in the back.

Wang Li pulled out the knife, smiled at Ding Hao in the prison wagon, turned his horse, and charged towards the assassins who were already fighting fiercely with his subordinates.

Ding Hao lowered his head and murmured:

"Why bother..."

............

"My lord, is it our turn to make a move?" Xue San was already a little impatient beside him.

As an assassin, he liked this kind of chaotic scene the most, secretly attacking, stealing heads, wasn't it delightful?

Zheng Fan pursed his lips. He wanted to wait a little longer, preferably until one side had won miserably before making a move, so that the risk his side would have to face would naturally be the lowest.

But the problem was, he had already discovered that those assassins were not here to rescue people, but to silence them. If it hadn't been for the patrol captain's protection earlier, his cheap teacher would probably be dead by now.

"Don't wait any longer, let's do it. San'er, be careful, even though you're disguised, your height is too obvious."

"Understood, my lord."

The others had already been disguised under Si Niang's arrangement. It could be said that everyone was equivalent to becoming a different person, but you couldn't possibly let Xue San kill people on stilts, right?

Blind Tie closed his eyes after receiving the order.

The next moment,

Zheng Fan heard Blind Tie's voice in his heart:

"By order of the lord, everyone take your positions!"

Immediately afterwards,

Blind Tie instructed again:

"Remember, immediately leave the battlefield after rescuing the target, do not get entangled in battle!"

............

Originally, today should have been an ordinary day. According to the plan, he should point out Liang Cheng's martial arts practice every day before going to "work".

However, things changed too quickly, as dazzling as a pot of fiery red chili peppers rolling during Sichuan cuisine cooking.

Zheng Fan held a knife in one hand and reins in the other.

His task was the most important;

After his subordinates rescued the target, he had to transport the target to the prepared safe area as quickly as possible.

Okay, Blind Tie and the others said this was the most important link, so let's just assume it was the most important link.

Zheng Fan didn't insist on rushing forward with a knife. Was Si Niang's massage not comfortable every day, or was the salty tofu brain in the morning not fragrant?

At the very least, before he could shine, Zheng Fan decided to be as cautious as possible.

Blind Tie's voice rang in Zheng Fan's heart from time to time, directing Si Niang one moment and Xue San the next. Everyone was approaching the target area in a unified rhythm according to the plan.

Zheng Fan felt like a staff officer in the war command, only hearing all kinds of voices on the walkie-talkie, but none of it had anything to do with him.

Finally,

After confirming that everyone was in position and seeing that the Tiger Head City soldiers were gradually unable to support themselves and even began to collapse,

Blind Tie gave the order to move:

"Action!"

............

Ding Hao looked like a wooden man, watching Wang Li lead his brothers to fight with those assassins.

Although the Liu family of Beifeng had no way to reach into the Zhenbei Army by bypassing the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, as a large and well-established aristocratic family with a long heritage, the retainers and death warriors under its command were by no means easy to deal with, even if this force was not the true elite of the Liu family of Beifeng.

Wang Li's Tiger Head City soldiers were no match for them at all. At the beginning, they could still support the situation for a while relying on the numerical advantage and Wang Li's personal performance, but as the number of people on both sides continued to even out, and a black-clothed man with a knife knocked down the weapon in Wang Li's hand with one blow, the situation began to fall into complete collapse.

The black-clothed man exuded a gray light from time to time. Under his extremely fierce offensive, Wang Li was already unable to support himself.

In Zheng Fan's eyes in the distance, they were two glowing cubs in the battle;

Fighting like king against king, but it was obvious that the quality of the subordinates and the quality of the leader, this gap, was all-round.

"Bang!"

Wang Li was swept away by a knife, hit the prison wagon, and fell to the ground.

Ding Hao shook his head helplessly, but his heart was already filled with anger.

In fact, Ding Hao himself did not expect that in Tiger Head City, at this time, there was still a former subordinate willing to risk his life to protect him.

Their relationship had actually faded after he was promoted to Tumancheng.

Even if he became a bandit in the future, Ding Hao had never thought of contacting Wang Li.

But at this time, Wang Li made his own choice.

A long-lost sense of unwillingness and hatred rose in Ding Hao's heart. If the Zhenbei Army had not severed his tendons, he would still be able to break this cage with one punch and rush out, at least, he could save this former subordinate!

But unfortunately, he was now just a useless person.

The situation had completely turned one-sided, and some Tiger Head City soldiers had begun to flee in panic.

"Bang!"

The gray light on the black-clothed man's body flashed again, and with a slash of his knife, Wang Li dodged to the side, but the other party's knife suddenly turned and went straight to Ding Hao in the prison wagon.

The goal of these assassins was just to kill people!

Wang Li had no choice but to block it again,

"Pfft!"

The blade pierced through Wang Li's chest.

But Wang Li let out an extremely hoarse roar at this time, and a white light also flashed on his body, raising his fist and smashing it directly into the opponent's chest!

The other party wanted to pull out the knife, but failed, and his chest took this punch head-on, then staggered back several steps, and blood stained his black face covering.

............

Zheng Fan originally thought that Blind Tie should only be responsible for edging;

But unexpectedly,

After everyone was ready,

The first one to enter the battle,

Was actually the blind man!

The blind man rushed towards the prison wagon holding a *erhu*, dashing and cool.

His speed was indeed very fast, but if you looked closely, you could see that the blind man's running posture and the point of force were a little different from normal people, as if someone was pushing him to accelerate from behind.

This was the blessing of mind power!

When the black-clothed man was punched back by Wang Li, Blind Tie happened to appear behind him.

The timing was just right.

The strings of the *erhu* suddenly fell off the *erhu*, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and then wrapped around the man's neck like the scythe of the Grim Reaper.

"A song of heartbreaking sorrow, where in the world can one find a kindred spirit!"

As the last word fell,

The string was directly harvested!

"Pfft!"

The whole action, including the lines in the middle, was so smooth.

The sudden appearance of the blind man stunned the other assassins around him. Seeing that their leader had been killed directly, these assassins showed a completely different quality from the Tiger Head City soldiers, and dropped their opponents in front of them, swarming towards the blind man, that is, the prison wagon.

"Yo ho ho ho ho............"

Si Niang's laughter came,

Strings of embroidered thread flew out from the soil below, and many assassins were caught off guard and tripped to the ground.

At this time,

A Ming, Xue San, Liang Cheng, and Fan Li rushed in the same direction.

After solving the glowing cub, Blind Tie came to the prison wagon and planned to open it.

At this time, Wang Li, who was on the verge of death with a knife stuck in his chest, put his hand into his arms, took out the key, and handed it to Blind Tie.

He didn't know Blind Tie, but he knew that the person in front of him should not be with these assassins from the Liu family of Beifeng. Since the assassins were here to kill Ding Hao, then these strangers should be here to save him.

Blind Tie seemed to have eyes on his back,

Said:

"No need."

He unlocked it,

No key needed.

Just tease the lock core with mind power;

"Click, click!"

After a series of sounds, the lock of the cage fell off, and the door of the cage was opened.

Without saying a word, Ding Hao, who was sitting in the prison wagon, took the initiative to crawl over. He didn't ask who you were or why you wanted to save me. At this time, saying an extra word of nonsense was an idiotic act. No matter what, let's get out first!

Fan Li, holding his axe like Li Kui, had already rushed to the prison wagon.

Then, without hesitation, he grabbed Ding Hao with his big, rough hands and threw him on his back.

Although Ding Hao's tendons had been severed, he still desperately clamped Fan Li's neck with his arms to stabilize his body.

"A Ming, Liang Cheng, San'er, cover the rear, Si Niang, clear the way, let's rush out!"

Blind Tie issued a new order in his heart.

But at this time, Blind Tie suddenly found that his ankle was grabbed, and the person who grabbed his ankle was Wang Li.

"Hero…………can you help me bring a word to my wife…………"

Blind Tie: "Uh........"
