"Who is coming? Why are you blocking my way? Can't you see my banner?" Li Ming stood in front of the two formations and shouted loudly.

As he spoke, a horse rushed out of the opponent's camp. A general wearing heavy armor came not far from Li Ming and clasped his fists and said, "Report to the order of the governor of the Yuzhou garrison, Wang Hui, the commander of the garrison in Jiangyuan City, came here to guard against all the troops coming from Jiangzhou. Please understand the difficulties of the young general and temporarily stationed here. After Xiao Jiang reported to Governor Jiang, he would make a decision."

Li Ming was shocked and frowned immediately. His face became gloomy. Looking at Wang Hui in front of him, a cold word came into his ears: "Since you know my identity, you dare to intercept my team here. You are really impatient. Now I will give you a chance to make your troops clear the way. Otherwise, I will immediately rectify you! I don't believe that my orders can't catch up with a small governor of the garrison? You have figured it out, don't joke about your life!"

Wang Hui, the opposite side, felt like he fell into a ice cellar after hearing Li Ming's cold words, and his whole body was chilling. Li Ming was right, and was deeply respected by a prince of the Tang Empire. How respectful is he? How could a little governor of the Yuzhou garrison? If he did not allow the road to open today, Li Ming on the opposite side might have killed himself on the spot. At that time, no one dared to say a word or aggrieved him. Therefore, when he saw Li Ming pulling out the sword at his waist, he hurriedly raised his hand and shouted: "Prince, please wait, the young general was confused just now, and asked the prince to atone for his sins. The young general would never dare to stop the prince's team. For the recklessness just now, the young general apologized to the prince here." After that, he jumped off the horse and knelt down in front of Li Ming.

Li Ming inserted half of the sword back to his original position, stopping his thoughts of killing a warning to him, and said coldly: "You are still conscious, get up, I am not willing to argue with you. I ask you, how many people have gathered on the borders of these two states, and how many are you here?"

Wang Hui stood up quickly and replied in fear and fear: "Report to the prince, there are a total of 120,000 troops in Yuzhou. Now I heard that there are 80,000 troops transferred to the border of Jiangzhou. The young general is closest to Linbin City, so there are 15,000 troops, which is the largest place."

Li Ming sneered in his heart, deeply ridiculous for Li Song's stupidity. Li Song did this obviously to prevent himself from occupying Yuzhou while he attacked Li Qing. He was unable to capture him around Nanguo City, which would definitely make him feel anxious. It was just that he had no reaction or movement for so long that he did not dare to act rashly. However, did Li Song really think that those troops in Yuzhou could stop his elite troops?

Not enough, it is obviously not the time to openly break up with Li Song. Since Li Song pretended on the surface that nothing had happened, he was happy to pretend to be confused and wait until other places were settled before finding a way to deal with him.

After asking about the arrangements of Yuzhou soldiers in other places, Li Ming secretly sent a few people to arrange corresponding defensive forces for the team members back to the island. On Yuzhou, Li Ming did not know many soldiers. If Li Song made a ruthless move to let Yuzhou soldiers rush into Jiangzhou, his losses would be great. Fortunately, he encountered this matter today, otherwise he would be in a hurry.

Let Wang Hui leave a thousand people as his pioneering force. Li Ming's army did not dare to stay in Yuzhou for too long. He traveled day and night to cross the jungle land of Yuzhou. He rode his horse for three days before he entered Dingzhou. Fortunately, Wang Hui's troops opened the way, which saved Li Ming a lot of unnecessary trouble. After entering Dingzhou, Li Ming released Wang Hui back.

The situation in Dingzhou is very different from that in adjacent Yuzhou. It seems to be more chaotic than Yuzhou. The towns and towns where Li Ming passes can be seen burning houses, upside down corpses and bandits wandering everywhere. These are often in groups, holding dilapidated big swords or simple long-range heads in their hands, and robbing one by one, unscrupulously looting the few property and food. When encountering these things, Li Ming often solves these bandits, but there are too many such things, as if Dingzhou is in extreme chaos at present, and all the officials, constables and troops have disappeared without a trace. The entire Dingzhou is in an anarchy state. This situation seems very similar to Zezhou where Li Ming passed by.

He had too much control over other people's affairs, which greatly delayed Li Ming's speed of progress. In the end, even Li Ming lost his interest in eliminating those bandits and began to turn a blind eye to the robbery and theft incidents everywhere.

A day after entering Dingzhou, the scene that appeared in front of Li Ming and the others began to change. First of all, the place they passed by began to become prosperous. It can be seen that this place was very rich in the past, and even the current two states of the world cannot catch up with the place they passed by. Every place they went, even the smallest town had a wide blue brick avenue, and there were shops on both sides of the avenue. Every building and every street in the town seemed magnificent. It can be seen that this place was really rich.

However, everything seemed to have passed before him. The wealth that Li Ming saw was just a manifestation of the past. Now, what was reflected in Li Ming's eyes was a mess. No one could see on the wide and gorgeous streets. The luxurious shops on both sides of the street were closed one by one. Large patches of black blood could be seen everywhere on the streets. Corptos that had begun to decay were everywhere in the corners of the street. From these corpses, they all died of life. Each corpse seemed to be incomplete. Either missing arms or legs or there were big holes on their bodies. Almost every place passing along the way was the same scene, which made Li Ming's heart heavier.

According to the personnel of Linjiazhuang who accompanied him, the places they passed by now are within the sphere of influence of Linjiazhuang. These places are residents of Linjiazhuang, some of which work for Linjiazhuang, and some of which contribute to Linjiazhuang. In short, most of these people rely on Linjiazhuang to live. With the powerful power and business advantages of Linjiazhuang, the people here are very rich in life. Just looking at the tragic scene in front of you, it seems that the battle between the two factions of Linjiazhuang has reached a point of irreconcilable and life-and-death level.

After walking for another two days ahead, we had already arrived at Linjiazhuang. Li Ming and the others were already careful at this time. The battle between Linjiazhuang was not comparable to that between ordinary troops. These people all had good martial arts, and any one of them was a dangerous person. Therefore, Li Ming and the others had entered many dangers. If they were not careful, they would cause huge losses. Therefore, Li Ming ordered the troops to slow down and all the personal guards formed a three-talent formation to strictly prevent accidents.

In the evening, under the sunset, Li Ming's two thousand personal guards entered Fengcheng. From the outside, Fengcheng was quite large in scale. The wide and tall walls could not be seen at all, and it seemed to be no less than Linbin City. When entering the city gate, the wide streets in the city were as gloomy and desolate as seen along the way. On the wide bluestone street, there were hurried pedestrians walking sparsely. Seeing Li Ming's team of strong men pouring into the city, these people showed panic expressions and hurriedly ran away. In a blink of an eye, the straight street in front of Li Ming was already empty, and only the pool of blood donations on the road was still shocking.

In this place, except for a few residents, almost all the houses were empty. Li Ming and his team even walked away with several passenger stations. This just allowed them to camp according to their own troops and would enter Linjiazhuang tomorrow. Li Ming didn't want to rush on the road overnight that night. No one knew what unexpected situation would happen when entering Linjiazhuang. Letting his men maintain good physical strength is the most correct choice.

More than 2,000 people were not visible when the two armies were fighting each other, but in such a city, it seemed to be very powerful. This was the first time they spent the night in the city since they set out. Therefore, everyone seemed very careful. After welcoming Li Ming to the largest inn, all the guards placed the tents around the inn according to the formation of the Sancai Formation. The tents that Li Ming bought for them were brought this time, and they relied on this to camp in the wild.

The passenger station was very gorgeous, but all the people inside had run away. Fortunately, Li Ming's personal guards had already been accustomed to doing everything themselves. Under the arrangement of A-15, some people began to patrol the entire inn, while others prepared Li Ming to organize the room and go to the kitchen to cook. During the war and on mission, the food of the personal guards was fried rice noodles and jerky. Each person could carry half a month of food each time. Even if they were camping in the city, they would not struggle to purchase and find food. However, as their masters, the personal guards refused to let Li Ming eat such wartime food with them. Therefore, some team members responsible for cooking began to walk out of the inn and search for food everywhere.

In the inn lobby, Li Ming was learning about the situation here from Linjiazhuang's entourage. According to the scale of this city, even if it is attacked by an enemy of 20,000 or 30,000 troops, it will not cause such a desolate situation. Therefore, Li Ming urgently wanted to know how terrifying Linjiazhuang's power in this place was.

But after listening to the guide's explanation, Li Ming suddenly realized that this Fengcheng is actually the outer acropolis of Linjiazhuang. Almost tens of thousands of residents in the city are subordinates of Linjiazhuang. Like other places, almost all the industries here are from Linjiazhuang, and almost all people rely on Linjiazhuang for dinner. Even local officials have to obey the orders of the person in charge of Linjiazhuang in this city. It can be said that this is a city belonging to Linjiazhuang. Once there is an internal strife in Linjiazhuang, there will definitely be a fight between two factions. It is not difficult to imagine why this city is so deserted at present.

With a gentle sigh, Li Ming secretly worried about Lin Lingfeng and Lin Long. Judging from the situation along the way, the struggle between the two factions has caused both losses. Even if this rebellion can be quelled, Linjiazhuang's strength will be greatly reduced, and Linjiazhuang's century-old foundation will become fragmented. If you want to restore your previous glory, you don't know how many years you have to continue to fight. To get to this point first, Li Ming hated Li Qing to the core. He killed so many Linjiazhuang personnel for his conspiracy. This hatred is definitely difficult to resolve. If Li Qing falls into his hands again, he will definitely not be able to forgive his life.

Suddenly, the gate of the inn was pushed open with a bang. Li Mingxun looked at him, but saw two personal guards walking in with blood and help from other team members. When he saw Li Ming, one of the less injured people hurriedly reported: "Master, the seven of us went out to look for food just now, but were blocked by a group of people in front of an inn. When we saw us, those people started to siege without saying a word. Fortunately, we could form two three-talent formations, which could barely resist. However, later, a master came from somewhere and broke our three-talent formations in just a few seconds. In desperation, we two ran back to report the news under the cover of others. Now A fifteenth has led 300 people to reinforce." After saying that, the man was still in the ground and was unconscious.

Li Ming hurriedly asked someone to take him down for treatment, then stood up and ordered the B and the others around him to bring the 95 rifles, accompanied by Zhuang Ya and others, to walk in the direction the man said. Around him, the five hundred personal guards who were temporarily summoned were on high alert, and they closely monitored both sides of the road and the roofs of the houses.

Li Ming was anxious about this. The power of the three-talent formation composed of six personal guards was quite powerful. Even if he was himself, he could not defeat them without twenty or thirty rounds. He heard from the team member that the man had only used three moves to break up the two three-talent formations. This skill was probably no less than that of Zhuang Ya around him. At the same time, in this place, he did not know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend. If that person was from Lin Lingfeng, it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

The 300 guards led by A 15th were already fighting with the other side. The power of the combination of the three talent formation was extraordinary. When Li Ming arrived, the other side had already left the corpses all over the ground. Behind the three talent formation, the bodies of five guards were lying in a row. At this time, their bodies were already exhausted. It can be seen that they were all fighting fiercely. Seeing this scene, it is no wonder that the 300 guards are now crazy and unstoppable. These guards are usually as close as brothers, and their deaths are so miserable that those team members must avenge them.

However, as the guards progressed step by step, there was an enemy that was very conspicuous. Although the attacks of the guards were continuous, they could not do anything to him at all. Instead, the man attacked from time to time, causing frequent gaps in the three-talent formation composed of the guards. Taking this opportunity, the man had already injured more than a dozen guards, but due to the cover of other team members, no greater casualties were caused.

Seeing that person, the Linjiazhuang staff who led Li Ming's way changed his face. He pointed at the person and shouted at Li Ming with a trembling voice: "He actually appears here. This person's martial arts skills are extremely powerful. Don't underestimate the enemy."

Li Ming sneered, turned to show Zhuang Ya for a moment, and then ignored Zhuang Ya who rushed towards the man like an arrow from the string, but turned to the guide and asked, "Who is this person? Is that force? Is it our enemy?"

Seeing that Zhuang Ya had already fought with that person and was not defeated at all, the guide calmed down and replied to Li Ming: "This person is called Lin Ping. He is a branch of the Lin family and belongs to the distant family of Linjiazhuang. However, this person ranks fifth among all the young people in Linjiazhuang, which is quite impressive. He had worked more than 200 tricks under Zheng Yu, and is currently one of Lin Lingqiang's right-hand assistants. Now on our side, except for the owner, the lady and senior Lin Shuang, no one else is his opponent. But this person has always developed in Pingzhou. How could he get to this place now?"

Li Ming was shocked and even more uneasy. If Lin Ping was indeed a member of Pingzhou, then there were two possibilities for him to appear here. One was that Lin Lingqiang transferred him to the attack power of Qiang on Linjiazhuang. The other was that Lin Lingfeng's forces in Pingzhou and other places had long been eliminated. Lin Ping was chasing him here. No matter which of these two possibilities is true, Lin Lingfeng and Lin Long's situation is not very wonderful.

Therefore, he urgently needed to capture Lin Ping alive in order to understand the current situation in Linjiazhuang. As Lin Lingqiang's right-hand assistant, I believe that Lin Ping always understands the overall situation.

However, it seems not easy to capture Lin Ping alive. Zhuang Ya's martial arts are already a first-class expert, but it seems that there is no advantage in front of Lin Ping. Lin Ping cleverly resolves Zhuang Ya's strong internal strength with his elegant and changeable light skills. At the same time, he often attacks Zhuang Ya with his dazzling moves from Linjiazhuang. For a moment, the two of them were indistinguishable.

However, at this time, the personal guards who had lost Lin Ping's harassment began to massacre Lin Ping's subordinates. Although everyone had good martial arts and if they fought alone, everyone could easily deal with the two personal guards, in the face of the three-talent formation composed of the personal guards, their personal abilities could not be exerted at all, so soon, the more than 200 subordinates brought by Lin Ping would be completely lost, and the remaining twenty or thirty people barely formed a circle and struggled hard there.

Lin Ping, who was fighting fiercely with Zhuangya, took the time to see the scene below, and couldn't help but be shocked and angry. He whistled open Zhuangya with a palm, then fell lightly onto a roof, and opened his mouth with a long roar, but before his roar disappeared, a crisp sound could be heard in his ear.
