112. Don't want to die

The captain of the guard pointed at Zhao Lu and the others again: "Look for yourself, these eleven people are soldiers at a glance, and as soldiers, they are either on the battlefield fighting the enemy, or in the guards defending the city, and they can never become a vagrant." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Therefore, when they leave the battlefield and leave the guards, they can only have one identity, that is, enemy soldiers who have been captured in battle, and the identity of enemy soldiers who have been captured in our country can only be slaves! Therefore, we believe that these people are indeed fugitive slaves. ”

Tang Ailian looked back at Zhao Lu and the others, whether they were sitting, lying or standing, they all had a strong military smell.

No wonder, Zeng Guangxiong has no fear. Whoever sees Zhao Lu and them will probably treat them as slaves, right?

Tang Ailian sighed secretly, no wonder, she is a little girl, followed by twelve big men, and whether it is Xiao Er or the travelers she usually meets, they all regard her as the leader. It turned out that everyone took them as her slaves.

"Then they can't be my slaves?" asked Tang Ailian, unwillingly.

"If it's your slave, then please show out their slave certificate. If not, since Lord Zeng has already filed a report, then they can only be Lord Zeng's fugitive slaves! And-" The captain of the guard looked at Tang Ailian, who was furious: "You are the vagrant with the nickname of Little Divine Doctor, the big name Tang Ailian, right? Lord Zeng also reported you and took him in. So, you're going to go with us to the City Lord's Mansion, including your butler Bai Qiwan. ”

Tang Ailian was crazy, these people actually wanted to kill them all.

Seeing that these city guards were just arresting Tang Ailian, and that her grandfather and herself were fine, Sima Lan hurriedly pulled her grandfather to avoid standing aside, treating herself as a spectator.

Tang Ailian, she raised her head suddenly: "What if I say no?"

"I'm sorry, we won't be polite to you. The guard said contemptuously.

Tang Ailian smiled: "Be polite to us? In that case, apprentices, we can't bear it, give me these bastards!"

Zhao Lu and the others, who had long been furious, heard Tang Ailian's order, and immediately let out a heaven-shattering roar: "Yes, Master!"

So, Zhao Lu's ten people turned into ten fierce tigers and rushed towards the city lord's guard, and in just one turn, they knocked those who wanted to come forward to capture them to the ground.

The captain of the city guard didn't expect Tang Ailian and the others to dare to resist, this is really a big rebellion, he was furious and ordered: "Dare to resist arrest, come in from outside, and arrest these fugitive slaves back to the city lord's mansion for me!"

So, a large group of city guards rushed towards the inn. surrounded Tang Ailian's thirteen people, Zhao Lu and the others let go of their hands and feet, pointing east and west, although there were only thirteen people, but no matter who the city guards were, they were not their enemies.

The captain of the city guard felt a drum in his heart: Are these people really captives? With such a warrior, I am afraid that the entire city guard is no opponent, who can capture them?

He was a little suspicious that the guest was lying, but his duty was to obey orders, and the city lord had already given the order, and he couldn't help but carry it out. However, seeing that his subordinates seemed to fall to the ground, he had no choice but to order: "Withdraw." ”

As long as they withdraw from this range, the archers on the periphery will be able to shoot these fugitive slaves.

Although it is a bit difficult to kill the fugitive slave who killed Lord Zeng, the fugitive slave resists arrest and can be shot directly.

Soon, the captain of the city guard withdrew, and when Zhao Lu and the others knocked down the surrounding guards, they found that the others had escaped from the inn, and the archers surrounding the inn outside were already in full array. As long as the captain of the city guard gives an order, ten thousand arrows will be fired.

When the guards saw that Tang Ailian and they actually let them exit the inn, the mood of being defeated just now was immediately relieved.

However, he did not immediately order the archery, but said to Tang Ailian, who was surrounded by Zhao Lu and others: "Miss Tang, you have also seen that you have been surrounded by my people, as long as I give an order, all of you will become hedgehogs." I advise you to surrender. ”

When Sima Lan heard Wei Jun's words, she hurriedly said to Tang Ailian: "Hurry up and let your people surrender, if they shoot arrows, we will all die." ”

Tang Ailian gave her a roll of the eyes: "Surrender, you want my people to be Zeng Guangxiong's minions?"

Sima Lan spread her hands: "There's no way, it's better to be a slave than to die, right?"

Tang Ailian snorted and ignored her no more.

Sima Lan was anxious, and shouted to the captain of the city guard: "Your Excellency, the fugitive slaves mentioned by the guest secretary of your City Lord's Mansion do not include our ancestors and grandchildren, can you let us leave here?"

Zhao Lu and the others were angry, their trouble was caused by Sima Lan, and now that the trouble is big, she wants to get out?

Professor Sima hurriedly said: "Lan'er, don't talk nonsense, let's advance and retreat together with the little divine doctor." ”

When Sima Lan saw everyone's faces, she realized that she had committed public anger. Busy said: "Grandpa, I know a person, I just want to go out and find him to prove it to us." ”

The faces of the people were a little better. Chang Zilong didn't buy her account: "Since you have someone you know, why didn't you say it just now?"

"I didn't think about it just now. ”

Tang Ailian wondered: "Since you have friends, why didn't you go to look for your grandfather when he was seriously ill before?"

Sima Lan bowed her head: "I looked for him, he doesn't have a spirit stone." ”

As soon as Tang Ailian shouted to the captain of the guard, the captain of the guard who heard them shouted: "Zeng Guangxiong is the guest secretary of the city lord's mansion, he wants you to be a slave, it is useless for you to find anyone, you-" He pointed to Sima Lan, "You are also the person that the guest secretary wants, I can't let you go." ”

His words instantly bankrupted Sima Lan's idea of drawing a line with Tang Ailian.

The guard looked at Tang Ailian: "But I can promise you not to let Master Zeng take away your people, but let them join the city guards." In this way, they cease to be fugitives. ”

It turned out that he had taken a fancy to Zhao Lu and them. No matter how many soldiers die, it is worth it to get these warriors. What's more, he found that those people were very measured, and none of the soldiers who were knocked down died.

"Let them join the city guards, do they have the right to come and go freely?" asked Tang Ailian.

The captain of the guard shook his head: "No, the city guard has a rule that ordinary soldiers serve for at least ten years, and captains serve for at least twenty years." If a fugitive joins the city guard, it is for life. ”

Tang Ailian asked again: "What about escaping after becoming a city guard?"

The captain of the guard shrank his eyes: "Directly executed!"

Tang Ailian sneered: "The fugitive slave is just to be captured, and the deserter will be executed, you say, what kind of fools are we to be your city guard?"

The captain of the guard was puzzled: "When the city guards have ten gold coins a month, the income is much higher than that of most citizens, why should they escape?"
