[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 112 [English]

Chapter 110 Bastard

Lei Jingzhe didn’t dare to push forward, and couldn’t dodge in a hurry, so he could only block it with his sword.The arrow hit the blade with a “buzz” sound, which made Lei Jingzhe’s arm numb.He made a prompt decision, rode his horse directly over Zhou Gui, and was about to lead people into the city gate.

“Close the door quickly -!” Zhou Gui was knocked to the ground, and regardless of his embarrassment, he held up his robe and shouted at the city general.

Several city generals pressed their shoulders, shouted in unison, and closed the city gate toward the center.Lei Jingzhe’s horse was faster, and when his horse arrived, his sword also arrived. He was the first to cut down the general who pushed the city gate, and he would drive straight in to occupy Cizhou.At the critical moment, Lei Jingzhe felt a chill in the back of his head. He suddenly lowered his upper body, followed by a heavy weight on his horse, and climbed onto a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old.

Ding Tao’s palm struck at Lei Jingzhe’s neck. Lei Jingzhe dodged sideways, holding the handle of the knife, and stabbed Ding Tao’s chest and abdomen with his backhand.Ding Tao grabbed the saddle and slid down, avoiding the blade.He put his feet on the ground, followed the galloping horse for a few seconds, and climbed up again with the help of his arms.

“Hey!” Ding Tao grabbed Lei Jingzhe’s arm, raised his hand and flicked a stroke of ink on Lei Jingzhe’s face when he looked back.

Lei Jingzhe never expected that the young man who came to the rescue had such a move. His eyes were splashed by the ink, and he couldn’t see his surroundings immediately.But he’s ear was amazing, and he felt Ding Tao’s path at the moment of Ding Tao’s sneak attack. During the confrontation, he dragged Ding Tao past his collar, and then knocked Ding Tao off his horse.

Ding Tao fell heavily to the ground and her back hurt.He shouted in pain, but before he could finish shouting, he was faced with a horse’s hoof.Ding Tao quickly rolled to avoid it, but the back exposed when he rolled was exposed to Lei Jingzhe’s eyes.

Don’t miss this opportunity!

Lei Jingzhe immediately threw the steel knife.

Ding Tao wanted to hide, but his ankle was dragged by the bandits chasing after him.He’s whole body was forced to lie down in the muddy water, with his arms on the ground. He tried to lift his body, but was dragged down again.The steel knife had already reached behind, and Ding Tao’s face was covered with dirt. He gritted his teeth and straightened up his upper body, shouting into the city: “Open the south gate, reinforcements are here!”

Lei Jingzhe cursed angrily, but saw that the thrown steel knife was intercepted by an extremely narrow scabbard, and then was thrown out and nailed to the ground.

Ding Tao was still in shock. When he looked back, he saw that the bandit who had just grabbed his ankle was already dead and his head was missing.He immediately got up, jumped several times in succession, popped his head out from behind Shen Zechuan, and said to Lei Jingzhe: “You are dead!”

One of the city gates had been closed. Lei Jingzhe and his people crowded at the entrance of the horse path, but they were blocked.He recognized who this person was. Under the cloak, the whole body was white, which was the color that the other person never changed after leaving Qedu.Lei Jingzhe’s horse took a few steps back, but the next moment, he swung his whip and ran straight into it.Shen Zechuan took off his cloak and threw it into Ding Tao’s arms.Lang Tao Xue raised her hooves and climbed up. The moment the wind blew up, Yangshan Snow had already come out of its sheath.

Lei Jingzhe’s sword was out of hand, and before he collided with Shen Zechuan, he casually pulled out his subordinate’s saber.The horse’s neighing was like a horn, and two strong forces collided between the blades. The blades screamed in unison, making people’s hearts beat with fear.

Lei Jingzhe met a completely different opponent than before. His terrifying strength seemed to fall headlong into the water. No matter how strong his sword was, it would be pushed away by the water-like softness and become invisible.The harder he worked, the more he seemed to be led by Shen Zechuan, gradually falling into a vicious circle that he could not escape no matter what.

Lei Jingzhe was very shrewd. He held the knife and pushed, pretending to attack fiercely, but turned around and ran away in the next moment.

Today’s opportunity was lost. Ding Tao just shouted “reinforcements have arrived”, which made Lei Jingzhe want to retreat.He’s men and horses are obviously surrounded by Xiao Chiye. If he doesn’t retreat urgently and insists on staying to attack the city, he will be trapped on all sides and won’t be able to survive for a few days!

“Retreat!” Lei Jingzhe took the lead and turned his horse to the southeast.

Shen Zechuan did not pursue him. Xiao Chiye, who was still in the east, jumped on his horse and led his men in hot pursuit behind Lei Jingzhe.Lei Jingzhe galloped on his horse, looking back during the bumps, pointing at Xiao Chiye from a distance, then pointing at Shen Zechuan, and shouted ferociously: “Let’s meet again someday!”

Bandits don’t wear armor and are faster.They were good at escaping, and they all rushed back into the forest. They didn’t pay attention to standing in formation at all. In the blink of an eye, they turned into birds and beasts and dispersed, shouting and hiding in the grass.

Xiao Chiye raised the Overlord Bow again. The sound of the powerful bow weighing a hundred kilograms when it was drawn was terrifying.Xiao Chiye stared at Lei Jingzhe’s back. Seeing that Lei Jingzhe was about to rush into the forest, he still had no intention of releasing the arrow.

He whirled violently and fell straight down, chirping in front of Lei Jingzhe, and hooked his sharp claws into Lei Jingzhe’s eyes.Lei Jingzhe secretly had a bad idea, so he was forced to slow down his running, covered his face with his hands, and turned around to avoid.At this moment, Xiao Chiye, who was behind him, let go of his fingers. The arrow was like the golden glow of the scorching sun, with the afterimage and the wind trailing behind it. With just one breath, it had already arrived in front of Lei Jingzhe.

In this life-and-death situation, Lei Jingzhe grabbed the subordinate beside him, leaned back with his whole body, and pushed the person in front of him with all his strength.The arrow pierced the subordinate’s chest, and the force caused Lei Jingzhe to fall off his horse.He rolled up on the ground, threw away the body, mounted his horse and continued running.

Zhou Gui greeted Shen Zechuan at the foot of the city. He didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. He wiped his face and said, “Good come, good come!”

Shen Zechuan dismounted, helped Kong Ling himself, and said guiltily: “Mr. Cheng Feng has suffered.”

Kong Ling saw that he was very polite, so he waved his hand, leaned up and looked at the imperial army, and said, “Don’t take it to heart, I know. I will do anything to capture the bandits.”

“After all, I didn’t talk to you sir in advance,” Shen Zechuan turned around and called Ding Tao, “Go and get clean clothes for sir, and ask the doctor to follow you.”

For Cizhou, Kong Ling will no longer hold grudge against Shen Zechuan.Although he had a grudge in his heart, he understood that there was a reason for everything, so he was supported by Ding Tao and bowed to Shen Zechuan.Xiao Chiye also dismounted and approached quickly.

“I never thought that there was someone else behind Lei Changming.” Kong Ling looked at the mountains and forests. He survived the disaster, but his sorrow did not diminish. He said, “This person is hard-hearted, good at disguise, and very cautious. If he escapes today, he will definitely be in trouble again in the future.”

“If Lord Marquis and Tongzhi had not arrived in time today, Cizhou would not have been able to escape this disaster.” Zhou Gui put down his sleeves and bowed to the two of them.

“Your Excellency, you are not afraid in the face of danger, so you gave us time.” Xiao Chiye turned his head and wiped the ashes from his face, and said, “The Forbidden Army still has an ambush on the official road to the south of Cizhou, and there are also soldiers and horses stationed in the old camp left by Lei Changming to the east. He has been surrounded by the Forbidden Army, and it is not easy to escape.”

“He finally retreated, thanks to the reinforcements from the south side of the Marquis.” Kong Ling said with emotion, “The Marquis is wise, we will send people to open the south gate.”

Xiao Chiye laughed and looked at Shen Zechuan, but said nothing.

Shen Zechuan said: “Your Excellency and Sir are not busy. The reinforcements from the Forbidden Army are still on the official road more than ten miles away.”

Zhou Gui was stunned, looked at Ding Tao, and said, “So…”

Ding Tao’s back was still hurting. When he saw everyone looking at him, he nodded sternly and said, “I’m still on the official road and haven’t come to Cizhou. On the way, the young master asked me to shout this sentence when I was in a hurry, saying it was a magic weapon for victory. Sure enough, after I finished shouting, the man ran away!”

Kong Ling turned to Shen Zechuan and wanted to bow again, saying, “I know you, accept my bow.”

Lei Jingzhe wanted to mobilize the imperial army and drive directly to Cizhou, but he was afraid of facing Xiao Chiye.This man was very smart. He didn’t know if Xiao Chiye was really capable, but he was unwilling to gamble with Xiao Chiye at this time with his own troops, so Shen Zechuan expected that he would run away immediately once he thought there were reinforcements on the south side.However, no matter who said “reinforcements”, adults like him, Lei Jingzhe could not believe it immediately. Only Ding Tao’s shout at the critical moment of life and death could convince Lei Jingzhe.

“Good boy,” Zhou Gui liked Ding Tao so much at the moment that he wished he could recognize him as his son. He patted Ding Tao several times and praised him, “You shouted so sincerely that even I believed him!”

Ding Tao felt pain in her back, but she didn’t dare to say anything, so she could only endure it and nodded her head.

“I originally thought that the other party was just a bandit occupying the mountains and forests,” Kong Ling said as he walked with them into the city, “but he talked very unusually along the way. Although he claimed to be from a poor background, I didn’t think it was the case. He can control Lei Changming, but he is one generation younger than Lei Changming. I kept guessing, but I couldn’t guess who he was.”

“He made Lei Changming the boss, but he was able to mobilize these bandits freely, which shows that this person is someone who has been around Lei Changming all year round. In the eyes of outsiders, he is probably a confidant.” Xiao Chiye raised his hand and held Lang Tao Xuejin.

“Not only that,” Shen Zechuan thought deeply last night and said, “With Lei Changming’s willful character, he will not be willing to become anyone’s pawn. The fact that this person is so powerful among the bandits shows that Lei Changming has never doubted him and is very convinced of him. It is easier for someone who can do this in front of Lei Changming to be a blood relative. Mr. Cheng Feng, do you have any relatives of Lei Changming?”

Kong Ling thought for a moment and said: “Lei Changming came from a poor family. I only heard that he had a younger sister who married the commander-in-chief of the Duanzhou garrison as his concubine. Later, when Biansha entered the country, his sister was slaughtered together with the commander-in-chief…” He took a breath and said, “Yes, his sister gave birth to a son for the commander-in-chief.”

“The concubine of the Zhu family in Duanzhou,” Zhou Guiye said, “I remembered that during the Yongyi period, I was still a ginseng Dao, and I followed the adults to have a full moon wine. Although Lei Changming’s sister gave birth to the concubine of the Zhu family, she was the eldest son of the concubine. She was the first son of Zhu Jie, the commander-in-chief of Duanzhou at that time.”

“If it’s really he, then it’s not surprising that he has such a palace.” Kong Ling turned to Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye and explained, “Mother is more valuable than her son. He and his wife lived very well in Zhu’s mansion. But later, Zhu Jie’s first wife gave birth to a legitimate son, and they were abandoned by Zhu Jie.”

Shen Zechuan was about to ask this person’s name, but Zhou Gui said “Oops” and stared at Shen Zechuan blankly.

“Tongzhi’s mother was also there at the Full Moon Wine!”
