"Brother Cao Chong, why are you so depressed? Is it possible that this drink is not to your liking?"

Deng Long intended to recruit a hero from the county and pretended to be enthusiastic.

This man was called Cao Chong, the swordsman ghost, and he opened a local wine shop.

Because of his righteousness, he is quite convinced by the local people, and they are willing to ask him to make decisions in all matters.

"Your Majesty, I felt cold, so I didn't want to drink."

This Cao Chong had a rough face and a beard around his eyes. Although he looked at Deng Long with an apologetic smile, he was actually thinking about how to cut off Deng Long's head.

For no other reason than the local county magistrate ran away with his cronies.

These days, the behavior of Deng Long's minions has become more and more rampant, and everything they do is seen by Cao Chong.

In Cao Chong's view, Deng Long was definitely not a kind person and was not worthy of his service.

Instead, he wanted to...

A cold light flashed in Cao Chong's eyes, and he tightened his grip on the wine glass in his hand with a little force.

Just looking at the iron wine glass, a few clearly visible finger prints were left in an instant.

In the early years, he learned a few sword techniques from a beheading craftsman, and it was only with his bravery that he became known as a swordsman.

But he didn't want to wake up one night and become a second-rate warrior.

Therefore.

Cao Chong naturally did not want to surrender to the thieves.

Not only that, he also asked his wife to contact the heroes in the city, intending to kill Deng Long and take back the county seat.

If he had the merit of protecting the land and seizing the city, he might be able to get a reward from the court and get rid of his white body.

Therefore, Cao Chong went to the banquet today and declined Deng Long's invitation to drink while waiting for the opportunity.

By the time the wine had passed three rounds and the dishes had passed five flavors, it was already dark.

Cao Chong looked at Deng Long's drunken appearance, slowly clenched his palm, and took out a short blade from his sleeve.

His eyes became more determined, as if he had made up his mind at this moment.

boom! !

Cao Chong suddenly got angry, overturned the wine table with thunderous force, and went straight for Deng Long's collar with his big hand.

But don't want to.

Deng Long stared furiously, as if he had been prepared for it. He picked up a tiger-headed sword from behind and struck Cao Chong on the head.

"Cao Chong, I think you are a good man, and I just recruited you as a leader, but I didn't expect you to want to kill me!"

"Bah, you thief, you and I are at odds with each other!"

Although Deng Long is only a background character in the original book, he is also a cautious person.

In fact, Deng Long had noticed Cao Chong's strangeness during these days and became suspicious of him.

This situation was set up secretly just now.

If it were the past, Deng Long would definitely be able to easily capture Cao Chong and chop him into meat paste.

However, Cao Chong received the Xingxiu bonus, and his military power was far beyond that of Deng Long, who was only in the third-rate martial arts realm.

If it weren't for Cao Chong's poor martial arts skills and the siege by Deng Long's cronies around him, he would have killed Deng Long on the spot.

But even so, it was enough to scare Deng Long.

"How come Cao Chong has become so powerful in just a few days?!"

Deng Long looked down at his hands that were still shaking slightly.

Just after the fight, his tiger's mouth actually cracked due to the huge force!

"Quick, come quickly, don't let Cao Chong go!"

The next moment, hundreds of minions came outside the door after hearing the news.

Although Cao Chong's wife happened to bring about a hundred businessmen to the county government to support them, they were outnumbered and forced them to retreat step by step.

Cao Chong had no choice but to take the lead and lead everyone out of the siege with his strength.

But after all, Cao Chong only had about forty people left in contact with these businessmen.

Others either died in the fighting or took advantage of the chaos to escape.

"What should I do?"

Cao Chong frowned.

The failure to behead Deng Long made him wary.

It will be even more difficult to recapture the county seat after that.

However, at this moment,

Not far away, there suddenly came the sound of a large number of horse hooves holding open fire, the sound was deafening, and Cao Chong was frightened.

"Is it possible that Deng Long came after him?"

"It shouldn't be him, then how could Deng Long gather so many horses?!"

Cao Chong's wife is a bold and careful Shandong woman, and she has doubts about this.

However, Cao Chong thought for a while and led the remaining men to hide by the roadside, wanting to see who was coming.

"Wang Baijiang!"

At this time, Wang Wu heard his men shouting and immediately asked in a deep voice: "How?"

"The county seat ahead has indeed been occupied by bandits. Should we wait for Colonel Yang to lead his army before we make any further calculations?"

When Wang Wu heard this, he hesitated.

As a commoner at the bottom of the capital, he rose to the rank of one hundred generals among the Yulin Guards by chance.

At present, Wang Wu only has eighty-seven sentries and cavalry under his command, and there are still more than ten people who have not returned.

Looking at the county town, there are at least two to three thousand bandits!

If you want stability, you need to wait until Yang Zhi leads the main force to arrive.

Just as Wang Wu was thinking about it, he heard something strange in the forest on the roadside.

"who?!"

Wang Wu shouted loudly and moved his hands slightly.

The Yulin guards under his command reacted faster, raised their bows and guns, and formed a military formation.

A dim red light flashed across the feather forest guards.

This is a crude military formation method.

Only well-trained and battle-hardened armies can rely on tacit understanding to perform this method.

Cao Chong looked at the imposing general in front of him and was overjoyed.

He naturally knew that what Li Tang's army used was the Black Water Black Flag.

Look at the cavalry in front of you. Everyone is wearing iron armor, and they are equipped with hand armor and helmets. They are definitely not comparable to the county soldiers!

"General, don't panic! Villains are good citizens!"

Cao Chong quickly ran out to reveal his identity.

Wang Wu's eyes lit up when he heard that Cao Chong said that he couldn't fight with the bandits in the city and just escaped.

"Please tell me clearly the number of bandits in the city and their leaders one by one!"

Wang Wu looked at Cao Chong's appearance and began to think.

Judging from his conversation, it doesn't look like he is lying.

Wang Wu was overjoyed when he heard that Cao Chong said that there had been a big commotion in the county not long ago.

God help me!

Wang Wu looked at Cao Chong, who was much richer than him, and said: "A certain family is a hundred generals of the Yulin Guard, serving as the vanguard of the army. I see you are a righteous man, do you dare to break in with a certain family?" In the county seat, will Deng Long beheaded?"

Cao Chong immediately bowed down and expressed his willingness to lead the way for Wang Wu.

"No need!"

Wang Wu threw his gun to Cao Chong, laughed and asked the latter to follow him.

When they came to the gate of the county town, Wang Wu and others dismounted and held their swords.

Looking at the top of the city, there are not a few bandits patrolling!

When Wang Wu saw this, he immediately waved his hand.

Then several Yulin guards came out and rushed directly to the city wall.

After a while.

Just hear a creak.

The city gate is open!

Wang Wu shouted and got on his horse.

"Kill the thief!"

At this time, Deng Long was rejoicing because he had defeated Cao Chong.

He looked at the charming woman in front of him, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.

This was the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the city whom he had just robbed. She was a rare beauty. He was about to put his arms around her and enjoy some sexual pleasure.

Without thinking, he heard shouts of killing echoing in the city.

This movement is definitely not comparable to the previous trouble caused by Cao Chong!

Some even shouted: The officers and soldiers are coming!

"The officers and soldiers are here?!"

Hearing the words "officials and soldiers", Deng Long's legs couldn't help but tremble, and his body bones became soft.

Just when he wanted to take his cronies to find out.

On the streets of the county town, he saw a group of knights covered in blood, looking like demons from hell, heading towards him.

"This person is Deng Long!!"

When Cao Chong saw his opponent, he quickly shouted to remind Wang Wu.

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu clenched the long blade in his hand and rushed over with the help of his horse power.

When he saw clearly the horror on Deng Long's face, he skillfully rode his horse and brandished his sword.

This move was practiced when he was fighting with the Jurchen Tatars in Liaodong.

Poof! !

A good head rises into the sky.
