190 The Flame Tests the Truth

Facts once again proved that there is a good reward for doing good, when Tietou Tuo angrily separated from Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun, and did not return to Tanggu City directly, he chose to go all the way north because he knew that there were more than fifty brothers in the Xiao family's mansion, as long as these brothers were organized, they could also play with Sun Sanhu.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I ran halfway, I found that the sky in the north was bright, and the direction of the Xiao family's mansion was already in flames. Tietoutuo was so frightened that his hair exploded all over his body, and he never thought that the adult's hometown would be raided.

Tietoutuo, who rubbed his hands in a hurry, turned around three or four times in place, and suddenly looked up and found that the surrounding terrain was so familiar.

Now everyone in Xiaowangzhuang has not slept, they are not very far from the Xiao family's mansion, and in the middle of the night, they heard the noisy people over there turning their horses, and all the villagers came out to see confused.

Just when all the villagers were guessing what was happening, they heard the roar of a broken gong at the entrance of the village suddenly sounded, startling everyone.

"You people who have no conscience, Xiao Letian bought your land and gave you a big temple, and now his family has suffered such a catastrophe, you actually stand by and watch the excitement..."

"Oh, it's Master Tietoutuo...... Master, why are you dressed like this?" people poured out of their homes and rushed over.

"When is it, you still take care of my clothes? I just ask you, now that Mr. Xiao's family is surrounded by bandits, will you save it or not? The three of you Zhuangzi have a total of seven or eight hundred strong men, as long as you unite together, you will definitely be able to rescue the adult's family...... When the time comes, I will go to Mr. Xiao to ask for credit for you..."

The three village chiefs got together, and they reached an agreement without even half a minute: "Master Toutuo really looks down on people, although we are countrymen, but we also have a conscience, now we know that it is the benefactor who is in trouble, how can we not save it?"

"Folks, let's copy the guys... Go and save people......" Under the command of Tie Toutuo, the villagers rushed towards the Xiao family's mansion.

Although Tietoutuo is sometimes very twisted, it only shows that he has a very upright temperament and he is not stupid. Truly on the battlefield, he is not only experienced but also very flexible.

He knew what would happen to villagers who had no military training to fight against cavalry, let alone seven or eight hundred against two hundred, even if two thousand against two hundred, there was no chance of victory.

Therefore, Tietoutuo used these people as suspicious soldiers, set up an ambush in the grove, and used a large number of stumbling horses to restrain the enemy's cavalry. As long as they keep putting pressure on the enemy, then these 200 cavalry will not dare to put all their forces into the mansion, which can relieve a lot of pressure on the guards inside.

This tactic is very clever, it is under the command of Tie Toutuo that this group of cavalry had to divide half of their forces to guard against the hidden dangers behind the buttocks, and the pressure inside the Xiao family's mansion suddenly weakened.

The cavalry failed in two tentative attacks, allowing the villagers to capture more than thirty prisoners, and even more surprisingly, they were given more than thirty sets of weapons, especially bows and crossbows. With these weapons of long-range harassment, Tietoutuo took a few fast young men, like a team of ghosts standing on the field, and shot the enemy in a round when he was cold, and ran away after the fight.

"Be quiet, everybody be quiet...... Creeping forward...... Damn, don't you understand what it means to crawl? Just crawl on the ground, quickly climb to the side of the stone mill, put a round of arrows and we will escape...... Yes, yes, yes..."

Just as Tietoutuo lowered his voice and commanded these militiamen to quietly approach the enemy, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, "Stinky boy, why did you send the order here?"

Tietoutuo was almost frightened, and he wanted to turn around and cut it when he copied the knife, but it turned out to be Xiao Letian? At the most critical moment, Xiao Letian, who was tired and wanted to die, finally rushed home.

"My lord......" Tietoutuo cried, "Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun, those two bastards, actually didn't divide their troops to save you, they are going to rebel." and Wang Huaiyuan, he actually has the same heart as those two stinky boys......"

Xiao Lotian waved his hand, "Don't say that, I have seen the current situation, Xiao He believes that their response is not wrong, if they really divide their troops to save me, this is the biggest failure." Forget it, don't say that, now tell me about the situation in front of you......"

Xiao Lotian and Tietoutuo gathered together to talk about the situation in front of them in a low voice, and at the same time in the inner house, all the women were also ready to die.

In the typical blue brick and tiled houses in the north, fire oil and charcoal were sprinkled everywhere, and all the women of Xiao Letian squeezed in, looking at the fire in the south with sad faces.

At this time, the tiger girl was wearing Xiao Letian's jet-black bomber leather jacket, and there was no panic in the face of death. He looked at the girls around him, suddenly smiled, lowered his head and stroked the leather clothes on his body, and said calmly.

"I know you're all curious about this heirloom, I'll tell you the truth, this dress really has a story......" Hu Niu didn't have half the fear of death, her body shrunk in that leather coat, as if she was being held in Xiao Letian's arms, warm and safe.

"The first time I met Brother Xiao was by a stream in the depths of Taihang Mountain, and Brother Xiao at that time was not good, no matter how you look at it, it is completely different from now......

Hu Niu quietly told her sisters about her experience in the Taihang Mountains, and Xiao Letian, who was mistaken for a bandit spy, wore this leather coat and rode a mule. After encountering the bandits, Xiao Lotian was the first to spot the enemy's ambush and was the first to kill a bandit shaking a bush.

In the dark night when he rushed to the mountain temple, Xiao Lotian carried the ugly girl on the mountain road and the back girl will never forget it. In front of the mountain temple, the man who commanded the musket team to fight heartily was a hero in the hearts of women.

"Until the end, when the bandits did not have the slightest intention of retreating, Brother Xiao personally risked walking to the bandits' den to negotiate with them, that is, at that time, this leather coat finally fell into my hands, and at that moment I swore that this dress would not be given to anyone......"

Women are emotional animals, and they are born with a sense of worship for heroes, not to mention that it was the dark late Qing Dynasty, an era when heroes almost died out, and it was also an era when the development of male power society was at its peak.

In those days, the so-called heroes were the scholars at the time of the gold list, the murderous counterinsurgents like the Zeng brothers, or the businessmen and landlords with millions of family fortunes. And women are just an embellishment in a patriarchal society.

Now, in the mouth of the tiger girl, the image of a great man who values love and righteousness, and respects women in his heart, appears in everyone's hearts, and the girls who are pregnant with spring will not be moved, not to mention how hot their eyes are when they look at the leather clothes.

Human beings are such a strange species, and when they have something called 'spirit' in their hearts, they can even look down on the fear of death.

This is really a strange scene, surrounded by smoke and fire, in the core of the inner house, in the pungent smell of kerosene, a group of women are actually nymphomaniac.

Yes, Xiao Letian was not mistaken, when he jumped in from the side courtyard wall and desperately dodged the flames and rushed to the inner house, he saw such a strange picture at first sight.

"Damn, this is a battlefield, even if you are bold, you don't need to have a smile on your face, right?

At this moment, suddenly from the direction of the outer house to the south, a wing house was burned down by flames, and a loud rumbling sound woke up all the women who were dreaming. I saw the tiger girl stand up and hold up the burning candlestick, "Sisters, the gangsters have rushed in, in order not to be insulted by them, let's die together..."

"Brother Xiao...... I will die innocent......" shouted and threw the burning candlestick to the ground.

"Oh, I'm cāo, stop it......" Xiao Lotian rushed into the house, and without saying a word, a vicious dog pounced on the candelabra and the flame that had just burned under his body.

The woman was mentally prepared for self-immolation just now, but she never expected that Xiao Lotian would come at the most critical moment, and the backbone would actually come back.

"Brother Xiao...... Master...... Woo woo woo ...... "The women suddenly lost their temper, and they all forgot to be reserved, and they all pounced.

Tiger Niu and Ah Chou threw themselves on Xiao Letian's back at that time, beating his shoulder desperately, "I knew you would come back, I knew you would come to save our ......" while saying and smashed Xiao Letian's shoulder with his fist.

Raider, Qingwen, Ping'er...... and all the girls in the Grand View Garden, just like stacking Arhats, everyone crowded together, crushing Xiao Letian to death.

At this time, Xiao Letian's lungs were about to be deflated, and the candlestick made of silver was on his chest, humming in pain. "Lord Long, save me...... Long Ye, save me...... "It's a pity that this voice is too small, let alone Long Ye, even the tiger girl and the ugly around him can't hear it clearly.

On the edge of the pond outside the main house, Long Ye was pressing bullets for the pistol, he didn't have time to care about Xiao Letian, who was happy to die, there was still a big battle to fight in the back, whether he lived or died depended on the next few hours.

It was necessary to hold on until the sun rose, and as long as it was daylight, not only the two companies of the new army could be reinforced, but even the guards gathered by the merchants could feel it. The most important thing is that as long as the foreigners find out that Xiao Lotian is not dead tomorrow, they will definitely come to interfere, this is certain.

"Shopkeeper Fan, take Lord Zhou and your brother to rest, we have to stay here, don't worry, we can hold it..."

Fan Yao, Fan Ru and Zhou Mingkui beside Long Ye are now so tired that they are about to vomit blood, if it weren't for the three of them supported by guards, it is estimated that they would have died halfway through. Especially Fan Ru, he rolled his eyes vigorously, as if black and white impermanence was chatting with him.

"I was wrong, brother, I was wrong, I will never mix again, I want to live...... As long as I can live, I will go back to my hometown in Shanxi immediately, and I will never come out again in this life......"

"Woo woo, I'm so old, why do I need so much money? I'm so confused......"

Seeing Fan Ru crying bitterly, his brother was also sad, and just when he was about to persuade his brother, there was a sudden loud bang, and the moon door connecting the outer house and the inner house was smashed alive. R405
