Chapter 169 Pioneers strive for credit

A large army of horses rushed out of the city.

But upon hearing the ringing of the luan bell, a tiger general, wearing a helmet and carrying armor, took the lead and fought out of the city.

When the gatekeeper who was beaten just now saw that he was a famous general in the Daming Palace Forbidden Army, he shouted with joy: "The thief is over there."

When the second-in-command saw Zhang Zhengdao and others thousands of meters away, he shouted loudly, urged his mounts, and galloped towards them without waiting for all the rear troops to leave the city.

The horse's hooves galloped, and in the blink of an eye, they were already in front of the formation. The man grabbed the horse and shouted: "Where did the thieves come from to harass the Daming Mansion, do they dare to fight with me?"

Zhang Zhengdao guessed who this person was just by looking at the large gold-dipped ax in his hand.

"This man's surname is Chao, and he is called 'Pioneer'. He has courage that no man can match." Zhang Zhengdao said quickly.

I saw that this Suochao was tall and tall, with a round face and big ears, wide lips and a square mouth, and a beard on his cheek. He had a majestic appearance. At this moment, he was wearing armor, so he was really majestic.

Without waiting for Zhang Zhengdao's instructions, Luan Tingfang rode out of the formation and shouted loudly: "Luan Tingfang, the Qinghe Inspection Department of Yunzhou, is here to meet you."

Luan Tingfang held the Ningshuang Feixue sun and moon swords in her hands, fighting against Suo Chao, the famous second-in-command of the Daming Mansion Forbidden Army.

The two horses intersected, weapons were raised simultaneously, sparks flew everywhere, and sweet knocking sounds could be heard from time to time.

As soon as they met, Luan Tingfang felt a chill in her heart. This "pioneer" was really brave. The gold-dipped ax was as fierce as a storm. The two swords in his hands were probably a little hard to resist.

Speaking of being extremely careful, Luan Tingfang also wanted to show off his power. With two swords in his hands, he slashed and blocked, and it was inseparable from Suo Chao's killing.

These two people were both brave men. They were fighting in one place, and they were killing each other heartily. They were going back and forth, and they were going back and forth. In the blink of an eye, they were fighting for more than thirty people.

At this time, the troops and horses in the Daming Mansion were also arrayed in front. When they saw Suo Chao, the second-in-command, was fighting with a bandit, they all stopped to watch without any orders from the general.

Suo Chao fought with Luan Tingfang for more than twenty more times. Seeing that he could not take down the thief in front of him, Suo Chao became angry. He was an impatient person. Every time he went into battle, he would fight first, so he was nicknamed "Vanguard".

.

At that moment, with a furious cry, Suo Chao swung his big ax with great force, preparing to kill the bandit under his horse within three moves.

Luan Tingfang saw Suo Chao panting and knew that he was exhausted, so he remained calm and did not confront him head-on. He only dodged and fought to consume Suo Chao's physical strength.

The two fought for more than twenty rounds, and Suo Chao spotted a flaw and knocked Luan Tingfang's Sun-Moon Knife away.

Zhang Zhengdao had been paying attention to the battle between the two. When he saw Luan Tingfang missing a knife, he was afraid that something might happen to him, so he rushed to the front of the formation to save Luan Tingfang.

When Suo Chao saw another bandit coming to fight, he was not afraid and said angrily: "Thieves and bandits should not be so arrogant as to take advantage of Grandpa's axe."

The big ax struck Zhang Zhengdao's head and struck it down vertically.

This big ax is really heavy. If it were to touch it, it would be split into two in an instant.

Zhang Zhengdao knew that his skills were not as good as Suo Chao's, so he did not dare to take a hard hit. He turned his horse's head and missed the blow. Then he turned around, pressed his spear on the golden axe, and shouted: "Suo Chao, please stop, I am Yun."

Prefecture Qinghe inspects Zhang Zhengdao."

Suo Chaomi fought for more than sixty rounds, and was somewhat exhausted. A big man wielding a double sword was already difficult to deal with, and adding a man wielding a spear made it even more difficult to resist.

After hearing this, Suo Chao put away his golden ax and waited for words.

The three of them staggered their horses and stopped fighting.

Zhang Zhengdao sat upright on his horse and said loudly: "I have heard the name of 'vanguard' for a long time, but today it really opened my eyes. He is indeed a strong soldier."

"Zhang Zhengdao, the inspector of the inspection department of Qinghe County, Xiayunzhou, next to me is Luan Tingfang, my brother from the inspection department." Seeing Suo Chao's doubts, Zhang Zhengdao explained: "My brothers and I are here to hunt down a group of thieves.

So, I originally wanted to enter the city, but the official guarding the city gate saw my horse, the divine horse, and offered ten thousand dollars to buy it forcibly. I refused, and framed us as the thieves, so we had a fierce battle with Suo Xianfeng."<

/p>

Suo Chao gasped for breath, now knowing the reason, he said angrily: "That scoundrel guarding the gate is so mean."

"Come into the city with me, and I'll see who dares to move!" Suo Chao took off his helmet and hung it on his horse, letting out the heat in his body.

"Brother, your swordsmanship is so good. If I hadn't knocked off one of my swords, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to defeat him." Suo Chao laughed.

Luan Tingfang shouted: "Xiang Suo is brave and good at fighting. I admire you."

Suo Chao laughed loudly and said: "I haven't stretched my body for a long time. It's hard to fight happily today."

Zhang Zhengdao saw that this man was honest and straightforward, so he smiled and said: "It's fate, why not go to the city to find a place to have a drink and have fun?"

Suo Chao smiled and said: "Today is a very happy day! It's rare to meet a heroic man who can fight with me for fifty or sixty years. Let's go to the city together and go to the Cuiyun Tower for a drink. I'll treat you."

Seeing Suo Chao's boldness, Luan Tingfang wanted to make friends with this man and turned to look at Zhang Zhengdao.

"It's rare that I have a chance to be with Suo Xianfeng, so I won't bother you." Zhang Zhengdao nodded.

"Please!" Suo Chao motioned for everyone to enter the city.

Luan Tingfang picked up the two knocked swords, hung them on his horse, and followed Zhang Zhengdao to the city gate.

The troops and horses in formation were all puzzled when they saw Suo Chao actually shaking hands and making peace with more than a dozen thieves, smiling and laughing.

One of the military schools asked: "Suopai Army, are these people not bandits?"

Suo Chao shouted: "It's all framed by the thugs guarding the gate. You go back to the camp. I've protected these people. I will be there to deal with you."

Seeing this, the military academy led the troops and horses back to the military camp in the city.

When everyone arrived outside the south city gate, Suo Chao pointed at the official who was still angry and cursed: "You little bastard, you don't guard your city gate properly, you just accuse good people for nothing, it turns out you are just trying to take away someone's family."

Such a good mount, it is really shameless, I will go to my husband and report it truthfully."

When the official heard that Suo Chao wanted to report the matter to the governor Deng Xianggong, he immediately begged for mercy: "General Suo, for the sake of my brother-in-law, go around this villain this time."

Suo Chao yelled and scolded: "It's just for the sake of Wen Dujian that I didn't argue with you, why don't you get out of here and disturb our enjoyment of drinking."

The official dodged away, allowing Zhang Zhengdao and others to swagger into the city.

As soon as I entered the city, I saw the majesty of this Damingfu city. It is worthy of being an important town in Hebei. The city is full of people and cars and horses, and it is very prosperous.

Suo Chao was wearing armor and had just gone through a fight. He was sweating profusely and his clothes were tied around his body. He felt uncomfortable with the heat, so he called out: "You guys, please go to Cuiyun Tower and sit down for a while. I will change my clothes and come back to you."

."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Suo Xianfeng can do whatever he wants. I'll wait for you, brother."

Suo Chao cupped his fists and saluted, separated from everyone, and returned to the camp to change clothes.

Zhang Zhengdao's soldiers grabbed a passerby, made some inquiries, and found out the location of Cuiyun Tower, and then led a group of people to rush there.

As a famous shopping place in Daming Mansion, Cuiyun Tower is quite grand. There are hundreds of pavilions upstairs and downstairs. It is not just a meal at this time, but it is also lively and noisy.

In the inn in the backyard of Cuiyun Building, six rooms were opened and horses were fostered. Zhang Zhengdao did a brief change, then went to Cuiyun Building in the front yard with Luan Tingfang, asked for a cubicle upstairs, and ordered

Serve a few seasonal side dishes, plus a bottle of fine wine, and wait for Sochao.

As for the ten soldiers who followed, I gave them some money and asked them to sit downstairs and have a drink.
