After a little bit of strolling, all of the sudden loud shouting got here from forward as one other group of troopers got here charging in. The 2 males silently groaned. As they have been on the lookout for one other course to run to, arrows began coming in from forward. Abruptly, Bao Xiruo screamed, “Ai-Yo!” For her trip was hit by an arrow and fell over, throwing the 2 ladies on its again off. Yang Tiexin mentioned, “Brother, you guard them, I am going to go get one other horse.” He charged towards the group of troopers. Ten or so troopers lined up, pointed their spears at Yang Tiexin, and let loose a yell collectively.

Seeing the overwhelming variety of enemies, Guo Xiaotian thought, “For us two brothers, escaping will not be laborious. However with enemies in entrance and behind, there isn’t any method our wives may escape. It’s not like we broke any legal guidelines, so going to the courthouse in Lin’an to argue our case is a lot better than dying for no motive right here. Final time Father Qiu Chuji killed all the males there, not a single considered one of them received away. Due to this fact no one is there to show we did it, so the court docket cannot say for certain that we have been responsible of something. Apart from, the 2 of us did not kill any officers or Jin troopers.” So he yelled, “Brother, cease it. Let’s go along with them!” Yang Tiexin was very stunned by this and ran again dragging his spear behind him.

The chief of this group of troopers ordered the lads to cease taking pictures and encompass the 2 males. Then he shouted, “Throw down your weapons and arrows, then your life will probably be spared.”

Yang Tiexin spoke up, “Brother, do not fall for his or her lies.” Guo Xiaotian shook his head for some time after which threw his twin halberds onto the bottom. Yang Tiexin seemed over at his beloved spouse and couldn’t bear the frightened look on her face. He sighed and threw his spear on the bottom as effectively. As quickly as each of their weapons fell on the bottom, 10 or so lengthy spears instantly got here and surrounded the 4 of them. Eight foot troopers walked up and tied the 4 of them up with their arms behind their backs.

Yang Tiexin held his head up excessive and sneered. The chief of the group lifted his horse whip up and smacked Yang Tiexin squarely on his face, “Rattling traitor! Do you actually wish to die?” A welt appeared on Yang Tiexin’s face from his brow all the best way right down to his neck. In rage, Yang Tiexin replied, “Okay! What’s your identify?” That official received even angrier as his whip got here down like rain, “Your outdated man right here is Duan TianDe! Keep in mind that? Whenever you get to the gates of hell you possibly can inform all of them about me!” Yang Tiexin didn’t again up or flinch in any respect as he simply stood there watching him. Duan TianDe continued, “I received a knife scar on my brow and a birthmark on my face! Are you able to keep in mind all that?” His whip got here down some extra.

Seeing her husband being handled like this, Bao Xiruo cried out whereas tears rolled down her cheeks, “He is a very good man and has carried out nothing fallacious. Why are you… you beating him? Do not… Do not you recognize something about justice?” Yang Tiexin all of the sudden spit at him, hitting him within the face. Livid, Duan TianDe pulled out his sabre and screamed, “I’ll kill you traitor proper now!” He introduced his sabre up and swung it down. Yang Tiexin sidestepped the strike. The 2 foot troopers at his facet pushed their spears up towards his sides to cease him from shifting as Duan TianDe chopped down as soon as once more. With nowhere to dodge on the perimeters, Yang Tiexin may solely soar again to keep away from the strike. Seems this Duan TianDe is aware of somewhat little bit of kungfu, although he missed once more, he instantly thrusted his sabre ahead. The sabre he was utilizing is saw-toothed and together with his transfer he sawed a gash on Yang Tiexin’s left shoulder. He then instantly adopted it with one other chop.

Seeing that his sworn brother’s life is in grave hazard, Guo Xiaotian all of the sudden jumped up and aimed his ft at Duan TianDe’s face. In shock, Duan TianDe introduced his sword again to parry this away. Although Guo Xiaotian’s arms have been tied behind his again, his footwork was nonetheless fairly formidable. So earlier than his physique fell down, he twirled his left leg and introduced it again and, on the identical time, despatched out his proper leg, hitting Duan TianDe in his abdomen.

In excessive ache and rage, Duan TianDe shouted, “Stick these spears in them! Orders from above, if the traitor resist arrest, then kill all of them!” The troopers stabbed forth with their spears. Guo Xiaotian kicked down two troopers in a row, however together with his arms tied behind his again his quickness was restricted as he needed to soar away from spears. Duan TianDe got here up from behind him and swung down laborious, chopping Guo Xiaotian’s whole proper arm off on the shoulders. Yang Tiexin was attempting to battle out of the ropes however couldn’t irrespective of how laborious he tried. Abruptly seeing his sworn brother wounded on the bottom, a surge of energy got here from nowhere within him. He snapped the ropes off his physique, punched a soldier, grabbed his spear, and whipped out the Yang Household Spear. This time he’s preventing with out regards to his personal life, it was as if he may tackle tens of hundreds of troopers all by himself. He had simply began however had already taken down two troopers. Seeing that the state of affairs has turned, Duan TianDe instantly again away. Final time Yang Tiexin was holding again considerably, not likely eager to kill authorities troopers; however now he couldn’t care much less. Flicking proper and swinging left, he killed a number of troopers straight away. Seeing his ferociousness, the remainder of the troopers scattered directly.

Yang Tiexin didn’t trouble chasing them as he helped his sworn brother sit up. Blood is gushing out the place Guo Xiaotian’s arm was chopped off and by now his entire physique was coated in blood. Yang Tiexin couldn’t cease his tears from falling down on the sight. Guo Xiaotian gritted his enamel and shouted out, “Brother, don’t fret about me… go away, go away now!” Yang Tiexin replied desperately, “I’ll get a horse, after which I’ll battle till I die to be sure to escape.” Guo Xiaotian faintly replied, “No… no….” He handed out. Yang Tiexin took off his outer shirt so he can bandage up the wound. However Duan TianDe chopped off his shoulder and parts of his chest as effectively, the wound is nearly half-a-body in size, unimaginable to bandage up. Guo Xiaotian had slowly come to and shouted, “Brother, go save our wives. I… I am unable to… make it….” Earlier than he completed what he was saying, he slumped over and died.

The 2 sworn brothers all the time considered one another as actual blood brothers. Seeing his brother die like this, a phrase popped up amidst the anger and the fad in Yang Tiexin’s thoughts. It’s the phrase that they mentioned after they grew to become sworn brothers, “Hope to die on the identical day of the identical month of the identical yr.” He lifted his head up to go searching. The 2 wives had gone lacking in all of the chaos.

He screamed, “Brother, I’ll avenge your loss of life!” He grabbed his spear and ran towards the group of troopers. By now, the troopers have already line up in formation. Duan TianDe issued an order and instantly, arrows got here flying out in direction of him. Yang Tiexin didn’t care, knocking the arrows out of the best way and charged forward. An official swung the sabre in his hand down laborious at Yang Tiexin’s head. Yang Tiexin ducked and all of the sudden scrambled beneath the stomach of his trip. That official was nearly to show his horse round when a spear penetrated by his coronary heart from the again. Yang Tiexin threw off the corpse and jumped onto the horse. Waving his spears round, not one of the troopers dared to return nearer to battle as they began to run off.
