When I woke up the next day, as the candidate who predicted the weather yesterday said, it was indeed clear and the dark clouds of last night had long disappeared without a trace.

With a curse on God, everyone will continue to set off.

As a result, just after walking ten miles, the brother who was investigating in front suddenly came over and shouted from afar: "The whole team is on guard, and the pole is robbed and killed."

Hu Tao heard that his head was buzzing at that time, and the wind and rain in the sky were gone, but his own storm was coming.

Sun Tao immediately began to arrange the formation in an orderly manner. Hu Tao held his brother who had jumped off the war horse and had not yet stood firm: "How many poles are there? Are they really coming for us?"

The brother reported loudly: "All five thousand, one thousand of them are cavalry, and they have now begun to form a semi-encircled formation and are approaching us. The goal is very clear, and it is us."

Hu Tao was shocked at the time and suppressed his mind. He immediately said: "All of them are backwards, force them to cross Baishui, brothers from the Jinyiwei, and cut off the cover of the back."

Wang Qingyi and Li Shouyi and Gong Shouyi turned around and ran away, while running, reminding each other: "Remember, no matter what happens, we must be together and don't run apart."

While running, suddenly the sound of horse hooves on the side sounded, and two bandits of cavalry rushed from the left and right like two gates, blocking the rear.

All the candidates and craftsmen stopped and leaned tightly together.

Hu Tao and others immediately surrounded these people and were on guard. But no matter how they were wary, one hundred people, facing all the young bandits and a thousand bandits' cavalry, they could not protect this group of candidates and craftsmen. If they resisted, the entire army would be wiped out.

Facing the bandits who were oppressing like a tide, Hu Tao saw the current flag of the tide, and his pupils shrank - Li Zicheng is here.

Then he immediately understood that Li Zicheng's purpose was not to kill himself, the so-called official army, but to rob and kill the group of scholars and craftsmen behind him.

Li Zicheng's army slowly surrounded the small team, and then he raised his hand and the army stopped immediately.

Li Zicheng mentioned his black horse and slowly came to the opposite side of Hu Tao. He immediately smiled and bowed: "I'm not here to make things difficult for adults. I also know that the Jinyiwei is not easy to provoke. Therefore, I don't want to be enemies with you. Thank you for escorting these talents here. Now I will hand over these talents to me, and then please go back."

Before Hu Tao could speak, the scholars and craftsmen behind him cursed together: "You are a bandit, a guy who betrayed your ancestors without kings and fathers. If you want us to use it for your purposes, don't even think about it or dream."

Although these people are not so-called pure nerds, they are also scholars. The teachings of saints have been engraved into their bones. They will never do anything to serve bandits.

Li Zicheng didn't say anything, because he knew that it was actually a fool to tell these scholars what great principles to them and let them take their heads and serve them with willingness. What he had to do now is to put the knife on their necks and then explain the reason to them. With the blessing of the knife, his reasoning was more convincing.

He still looked at Hu Tao: "Master Baihu, how about it?"

Hu Tao said coldly: "I am the Jinyiwei. What our Jinyiwei pays attention to is to follow the orders. If the superiors ask me to protect the safety of these people, I must keep them safe. At least, before our Jinyiwei brothers die, they must be safe."

Li Zicheng nodded: "Okay, I understand and understand your mood. Let's do this. In order for you to go back and get a job, you need to handle some things, bring the things over."

As the words fell, ten strong men walked to the formation with five boxes and opened them. They immediately felt the ground full of pearls and treasures, as well as gold and silver light.

Li Zicheng said generously: "With these, you can probably call your commander the one you bought. Take it, I look forward to your promotion."

Hu Tao glanced at it, then shook his head firmly: "What I saw in front of me was not gold, silver and jewelry, but the gathering of wronged souls of the people in the northwest. Even if the jewelry that can bribe the world is here, our Jinyiwei only recognizes the mission."

Li Zicheng sighed and sighed to the generals around him: "The reason why the Jinyiwei is called the best in the world is their discipline. They use strict discipline to make them firmly execute the orders of their superiors even if they take their lives, so that they can achieve today's glory."

The leaders and generals around Li Zicheng agreed deeply.

Li Zicheng asked Hu Tao again: "Does the scholars behind you just let you sacrifice your lives for them?"

Hu Tao shook his head: "I didn't know them at the beginning. Even now we are familiar with them, I will not abandon the lives of my hundred brothers for them."

"Then why do you persist?"

"Because, in my eyes, they are not scholars who take the exam, they are our mission. Since it is our mission, then I still say the same thing. Before we die, we must keep their safety. This is the mission."

At this time, a honest voice sounded in the crowd behind us: "Sir, what we have seen and heard along the way has changed our view of the Jinyiwei. Sir, go back, go back, and continue to capture corrupt officials for the people. But don't worry, we will never do anything for thieves, we will die in front of them now."

The others shouted together.

Hu Tao raised his hands and said loudly: "We will fight to the last person to complete our mission. But no matter what we do, please live, because, because our commander of the Jinyiwei will definitely do our best to save you. Please live with humiliation and serve us in the future."

Then he said to Sun Tao: "Take twenty brothers, charge towards the river bank, open a passage, I protect the scholars and follow you, as long as I rush to the river bank and let the gentlemen cross the river, they will be safe."

Without hesitation, Sun Tao led his twenty brothers to form a front arrow formation and began to charge unswervingly at the pole cavalry that blocked the way home.

Li Zicheng didn't expect that the group of Jinyiwei would do it as soon as he said, and yelled: "Zongmin, block them. The other brothers will kill me, kill all Jinyiwei and silence them, and don't hurt any scholars and craftsman."

Sun Tao's brilliance rushed towards the enemy. The three-eyed musket fired first. The sound of gunfire sounded, and the hot lead flew out, immediately snatching the lives of a group of poles. The muskets were blown away, and immediately flew out a series of crossbow arrows, harvesting the lives of a group of poles.

After these two strikes, the enemy's formation became chaotic, many poles began to panic, and some involuntarily began to retreat.

Just as he was about to collapse, a tiger roar was yelling: "Whoever retreated was killed." With the tiger roar, there were screams one after another. Liu Zongmin's swords flew like snowflakes, and heads of his own people flew.

After being slashed by Liu Zongmin, who was like a god of killing, all the poles were scared. So they stopped the horse's hooves that wanted to escape and began to rush up.

As the arrow of the brute, Sun Tao threw away the crossbow arrow and waved the Xiuchun Sword. The twenty brothers behind him also exerted the power of the Xiuchun Sword to the extreme. They were invincible wherever they passed, and their killings were all terrified. When a fierce general like Liu Zongmin and Yuan Zongdi rushed over, Sun Tao and his arrow formation had penetrated the formation.

After checking the brothers, only seven were injured and two were killed. But a fatal problem was discovered, but the scholars did not follow and were intercepted by the pole.

Without saying a word, Sun Tao raised the Xiuchun Knife and roared: "The Jinyiwei will do the job, and the blocker will be killed--" He took the lead and killed him again.

But this time, they met Liu Zongmin and Yuan Zongdi, two big swords and a heavy iron whip, causing heavy casualties and injuries to the brothers of the Jinyiwei. But even so, Sun Tao and his brothers still fought in an unwavering manner.

Just as they rushed back again and gathered with the scholars, there were only five people left by Sun Tao, fourteen brothers, nine died under Liu Zongmin's knife, three died under Yuan Zongdi's iron whip, and the rest were dismembered by their two personal soldiers.

After taking a breath and wiping the blood on his face, Sun Tao yelled at the group of scholars: "Gentlemen, follow me closely, but once you are caught by bandits, don't resist. Remember, if you survive, our commander will definitely save you." Then he turned over and fought back again.
