What calmed the bloody scene on the streets of Pingchang was the sudden sound of the horn.
At this time, in Hangzhou City, when Bao Daoyi and the Tyrannical Blade Camp were fighting, there were not many people who could intervene. However, even Wenren Buer, who was standing on the side and hoped that Hangzhou City would be in chaos, didn't think that this battle would last forever. Regarding this battle that involved the safety of Hangzhou, the people who had the right to speak were all very sensitive. Liu Guihua was reciting a long poem, one word at a time. Before he could finish reciting, a battle horn suddenly sounded and the first flag of the interlopers had already arrived.
At this time, not only Pingchang Street, but even the streets near Pingchang Street had begun to be filled with soldiers who had seen Bao Daoyi's signal. All kinds of noises and chaos could be heard. But the most shocking thing was the sound of the cavalry's hooves and the horn. Although they had not reached Pingchang Street, the situation around them became more and more chaotic. They were probably blocked by Bao Daoyi's men, but the sound of the hooves still spread quickly.
A few military elites took a shortcut with a large flag. They rushed through the side corridors and onto the roofs, directly plunging into the chaos of the battle between the Tyrannical Blade Camp and Bao Daoyi's men. There was a big "Li" character on the flag.
Li Tianrun, the Defender-general of the State, was probably the most legitimate person to intervene in this matter in Hangzhou. In the Yongle Dynasty, he was the Great Marshal of the whole country. This time, he had rushed back to clean up the situation in Hangzhou. Seeing this flag, everyone involuntarily gave him some face. Those flag bearers who crossed the walls and roofs were also people with outstanding martial arts skills. Someone shouted, "Stop! Commander Li has ordered both sides to stop! " Another person rushed through the battle formation and went to Liu Guaguan and Bao Daoyi. "Commander Li, please stop for the time being!"
Bao Daoyi and Li Tianrun were on equal footing in the rebellion. He waved his hand and shouted, "We can't stop!" Liu Guaguan was a little silent. Suddenly, a group of forty to fifty cavalrymen broke through the blockade at the back of the street and galloped over. The leader was riding on a tall black horse. He had a burly figure and was clad in iron armor. He held a red tasseled spear in his hand and had an awe-inspiring aura. At that moment, they were charging towards the back of the Tyrant's Saber Camp's formation. The elites of the Tyrant's Saber Camp turned around, and the general came close to them. He pulled on the reins, and the horses neighed loudly. Both the man and the horse stood upright. The dozen riders behind them formed a line with the general and stopped.
This person was obviously Li Tianrun. The appearance of the group of horses was accompanied by the flag with the word 'Li' written on it and the sound of the horn that was beginning to fade. The two sides fighting on Pingchang Street had also stopped. The atmosphere became austere once again. The onlookers were also watching the development of the situation. Only Ning Yi, who was above the restaurant, was not paying attention to this at all. He stood in front of the window and looked at the cloaked woman who was hiding in the alley diagonally below. But finally, someone came from behind, forcing him to retract his attention.
"Commander Li is a little early."
The one who came upstairs was Liu Tiannan, who had come to check on him. Seeing Li Tianrun appear at this time, he was actually a little proud. Ning Yi looked at the situation and said, "Did we send someone to inform him?"
"Yes, it's not good to be too late. Things can't be settled."
"How is Chen Fan?"
"He is tough, and his injury is not serious."
Ning Yi nodded. At this time, Li Tianrun's voice also came from there.
"Celestial Master Bao, Liu Dabiao, today's matter is over, right?"
This voice was also released with amazing internal force, and it resounded throughout the whole place. It was not angry, but it was powerful. After a moment, Bao Daoyi gritted his teeth and said, "Ask her!" Li Tianrun's gaze fell on Liu Guihua's side, but there was only silence. Li Tianrun swept his gaze again and said to the Black Feather Guard on the side, "An Xifu, tell me the ins and outs of what happened today."
This sentence was no longer directed at everyone. An Xifu walked forward and told Li Tianrun what had happened. He had a good personal relationship with Chen Fan, but his position was not high. He also knew that it was useless to hide what had happened today, so he told the whole story of Chen Fan's assassination of Bao Daoyi. Li Tianrun looked at the Tyrant's Saber Camp and said, "In this case, Chen Fan offended his superior, and your Tyrant's Saber Camp wanted to stand up for him. Isn't it a bit too much? Celestial Master Bao, why did you have such a big fight with Chen Fan? Now everyone is here. Are you willing to tell me? "
"Li Tianrun." Bao Daoyi looked at him and said, "Who are you to interrogate me?"
Li Tianrun lowered his head and said, "I didn't mean that. It's just that we are all in the same boat, and I don't want to hurt the harmony between us."
"Who knows what's wrong with him! If he has any dissatisfaction with me, let him come out and tell me! " Bao Daoyi widened his eyes and gnashed his teeth. "Commander Li, I'm giving you face today. I can ask him to come out and give me an explanation peacefully. But let me make it clear first. If this matter can't be explained clearly, no one in the Tyrant's Saber Camp will be able to walk out of here today!"
It was only a temporary truce. The Tyrant's Saber Camp now had less than eight hundred people in Hangzhou. With more than two hundred people gathered here, it was difficult for them to set up an ambush. Outside Pingchang Street, Bao Daoyi's subordinates were still gathering. Because of the seriousness of the situation, more than two thousand people had been mobilized. He had the confidence to say that.
However, the Tyrant's Saber Camp didn't waver at all. Two hundred people against two thousand. If the people of the Tyrant's Saber Camp stayed on Pingchang Street, they would probably be overwhelmed by the overwhelming number of people. However, in terms of quality and morale, if Liu Watermelon really went on a killing spree, no matter how much damage was done, the two hundred people of the Tyrant's Saber Camp would probably break the morale of the two thousand people after a few attacks. At that time, it would just be a massacre. However, once the situation escalated to such an extent, it would be a fight to the death, forcing Fang La to make a choice.
After Bao Daoyi said these words, the people of the Tyrant's Saber Camp just sneered, as if they wanted to do it again. Liu Watermelon also sneered in silence for a long time, looking quite contemptuous. When Bao Daoyi was about to lose his temper, she said, "I gave Celestial Master Bao a poem. I didn't finish it just now. Now I've finished it. Uncle Li, do you want to read it?"
While they were talking, someone brought over the rice paper with the poem on it. The handwriting must not be very good. Li Tianrun didn't care about it, but after reading it, he couldn't figure out what it had to do with the battle. Liu Watermelon said, "Uncle Li, do you know the name of this poem? I called it 'Journey of the Gallant'?"
"So what?"
"Why did Chen Fan kill people … You should ask Celestial Master Bao what he did!"
Her tone wasn't high, but it was filled with the pressure of accusation. Bao Daoyi was stunned for a moment. "What the f * ck do you want to say? If you have anything to say, say it in front of everyone! I … "
"Do you know that there is a girl named Cui Hua next door to Chen Fan —"
Things had developed to this point, and Bao Daoyi was also full of resentment and grievance. Of course, he could vaguely guess the reason why Chen Fan took action was because of those kids. However, they had to abide by the rules. If he really let a group of women pass through here today and were stopped by those kids and exposed, he could only admit defeat and let those women go. But the problem was that there were no women in the car. If those arrogant kids came to provoke them, it was their fault, so it was his turn to teach them a lesson. In his world, this was the so-called "if you did something wrong, you should admit it, and if you were beaten, you should stand at attention."
He only wanted to deal with those kids today to teach them a lesson, not to kill them. But Chen Fan came out just like that. It didn't matter. Since Chen Fan had thrown caution to the wind, Bao Daoyi would accept it. Whether he killed Chen Fan or not, it was his own business. Who knew that the Tyrannical Saber Camp would come out to pick a fight and unreasonably escalate the situation to this point. In his opinion, the other party had indeed gone too far and bullied him to the extreme. However, at the moment when Liu Watermelon interrupted him, Bao Daoyi suddenly felt a strange atmosphere in his heart. Even he couldn't tell what it was.
"What … what kind of nonsense is this?"
"Do you know that Chen Fan and Cui Hua love each other and have pledged to marry each other?"
"… What does that have to do with me?"
"Cui Hua disappeared a few days ago, and her family has been looking for her for days! Commander Li, the Tyrannical Saber Camp found a large number of innocent girls in the Ancient Tong Temple today. Cui Hua was among them and was tortured … Celestial Master Bao, tell me what you've done! "
Liu Watermelon's tone was calm and steady as she pressed on. Bao Daoyi suddenly shouted, "You're slandering me!" At this time, he was already feeling uneasy. "Have I slept with a girl named Cui Hua recently?" But he couldn't be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
Li Tianrun also frowned at this time. He knew about Bao Daoyi's bad habits, but this matter itself was not a big deal. Just as Ning Yi said, compared with the countless inhumane things that the Revolutionary Army had done, Bao Daoyi's bad habit was at most a bit of vulgar taste. Moreover, Bao Daoyi paid more attention to internal unity, so he was quite cautious when capturing people. For example, he wouldn't touch the wives of generals in the army even if he liked them. This time, he probably didn't know that he had slept with Chen Fan's woman. If that was really the case, the young man would be so hot-tempered that he would risk his life to kill Bao Daoyi.
While Bao Daoyi was acting tough, Liu Watermelon didn't retreat at all. "Don't you want a reason? Do you want a confrontation? Celestial Master Bao, when a man is angry, blood will be spilled ten steps away! If you dare to do such a thing, the Tyrannical Saber Camp can't stand it! Let Chen Fan confront you! "
As soon as he said this, someone had already carried out a stretcher. The person on it was Chen Fan, who had half of his body wrapped in bandages. The old doctor was still next to him. He frowned and was quite unhappy. "The injury hasn't been treated yet. Why do you have to carry him out? You're too reckless, too reckless … "
Chen Fan was still conscious at this time. He stared at Bao Daoyi with red eyes and seemed to be trying to lift his body, but the old doctor held him down with his hand. He pointed at Bao Daoyi and said, "Old bastard … As long as I'm not dead, I won't let you go … Cui Hua … Puff —" Before he finished, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the stretcher.
The old doctor shouted and asked someone to carry the stretcher back. The people of the Tyrannical Saber Camp looked at Bao Daoyi, Liu Watermelon looked at Bao Daoyi, Li Tianrun looked at Bao Daoyi, the young man in the restaurant looked at Bao Daoyi, everyone on the street looked at Bao Daoyi, and even the people under Bao Daoyi's command were whispering to each other. What could they do? They all knew that their boss was like this …
