Chapter 423: Fierce Battle
Tofu Shih's house is located at the westernmost end of the village, lonely like an island. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoBecause of the check-in of Qiao Zhao and others, not to mention the three watches in the middle of the night, even the people in the village are reluctant to approach half a step in the daytime.
Those evil ghosts of the Qiao family were released by this group of people, which is really unlucky!
A group of black-clothed people surrounded Tofu Shih's house like a tide.
The walls of the houses in this kind of village are not high, and the leading man in black waved his hand, and all the people in black jumped on the wall and rushed in.
The courtyard was quiet, there was no light, and as the men in black jumped down one by one, and there was no place to stay in the courtyard, suddenly countless torches were thrown out, and the light brightened in an instant.
The torches fell on the black-clothed crowd, instantly setting fire to their clothes, and the screams suddenly began one after another.
The black-clothed man gathered outside the courtyard heard the movement inside and shouted, "Keep an eye on it, don't let the people inside escape." β
"No, how can there be such a bright fire in there?" someone wondered.
The leader who stayed outside changed his face slightly, and waved his hand: "Kick the door in!"
There was chaos in the courtyard.
The men in black who were attacked by the torches quickly reacted after the initial panic, rolled on the spot to extinguish the flames on their bodies, and rushed towards the door.
In the darkness of the night, Shao Mingyuan's eyebrows condensed: "It's actually a well-trained army, which is interesting." β
Qiao Zhao, who was hiding in the house, couldn't help but walk to Shao Mingyuan's side: "Army, how did the prefect mobilize the army?"
"I'm afraid I have to ask Governor Li about this. Zhaozhao, you go back to the house, these people should have solved it earlier. β
can transfer the army, and the power behind Governor Li should not be underestimated.
Qiao Zhao hurriedly glanced at the lighted torch and said in a low voice: "There are a lot of people, General Shao, you have to be careful." β
Shao Mingyuan smiled slightly: "Zhaozhao, if you call me Brother Shao, I will be careful." β
"At this time, do you still have the heart to joke?" Qiao Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth.
"At this time, can't you call me Brother Shao?" Shao Mingyuan asked rhetorically.
His eyes were well born, pure as black gems, shining with expectation.
Qiao Zhao looked at him, his heart softened, and he shouted "Brother Shao" in a low voice, and turned around and went back to the house.
Shao Mingyuan raised his lips and smiled, drew the long knife at his waist and jumped into the crowd of melees.
Qiao Zhao, who returned to the house, listened to the fierce fighting in the courtyard, couldn't help but reach into his arms and took out a dagger.
This dagger was given to her by Shao Mingyuan during the day to allow her to use it for self-defense.
She pulled the dagger out of its sheath, and a cold glint flashed through the darkness.
In order not to become a target for enemy attacks, there was no light in the house.
"Girl, beware of hurting your hand. Ah Zhu reminded softly.
Qiao Zhao carefully rubbed the blade of the knife and said lightly: "No." β
At the beginning, if there was such a dagger, maybe Shao Mingyuan would not need to shoot that arrow.
"Where's the ice green?" Qiao Zhao asked, putting the dagger away.
"Just now, Binglu said to take a burning stick to defend himself. β
Qiao Zhao shook his head: "Take a burning stick to defend yourself? I'm afraid she rushed out to fight with a burning stick." β
Ah Zhu's face changed slightly: "Girl, go and call Binglu back." β
Qiao Zhao stopped Ah Zhu: "Let's wait in the house, don't make trouble." β
There will be nothing wrong with the morning light in the ice green, with the temperament and preferences of the little girl, it may be a good thing to have more experience.
The fighting outside the house sounded even more violent.
In the suburbs not far from Baiyun Village, Li Zhifu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the west from afar, his expression gradually solemn.
"Why isn't it over yet?"
The other party only has more than ten people, but there are 200 soldiers he invited, even if the champion Hou Wugong is world-famous, can he still fly with wings?
It stands to reason that the matter should have been settled long ago.
Governor Li couldn't help but look up at the sky.
The sky was inky blue in the middle of the night, and the moon was hidden in the dark clouds, so black that it gave a sense of foreboding.
"My lord, something may be wrong. The staff leaned forward and whispered.
"What does Mr. Han think?" Governor Li was also beating a drum in his heart at this time, and when he heard what the staff said, his heart couldn't help jumping, and that kind of ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.
"According to our previous estimates, this battle should be resolved quickly, but it hasn't ended until now, and something must have happened here. β
When the staff said this, they saw a man in black running out of breath: "My lord, things have changed!"
"What's wrong?" Governor Li's heart sank.
"My lord, it's not that there are only a dozen people in that courtyard as you say, but at least dozens of masters who are fighting one against ten!"
"What?" Governor Li suddenly changed color and asked eagerly, "How is it over there now?"
The person hurriedly said: "Now that most of our people have been lost, I'm afraid it won't last long!"
Governor Li shook his body and said in a lost voice: "How can this be?"
The chief of staff sighed: "My lord, we still underestimate the champion Hou." Champion Hou definitely brought more than just so many people to the south this time!"
"The official is careless, the champion Hou Wei has been in the north for many years, how can he be a temperament that is allowed to be rubbed flat and rounded!"
The staff suddenly took a deep look: "My lord, now we only have two ways out, you must make a choice as soon as possible." β
"Mr. Han, please speak. β
The staff straightened up, and a cold light flashed in their eyes staring at the west: "The first choice is to pretend not to know at all, and when the champion Hou reports to the official tomorrow, we will send some people to make it look like tracking down the rogue, and perfunctory this matter." β
Governor Li shook his head: "This road is not chosen by the official." Since there is no reason to retreat, the champion Hou is not a fool, and he will definitely settle accounts with us after the autumn. β
The staff obviously thought the same way, nodded again and again, with a flash of murderous intent in their eyes, and said coldly: "Then don't do anything and keep going, and do your best to suppress the bandits!"
"Sir, I meanβ"
"We can mobilize nearly a thousand government officials and government soldiers, Baiyun Village came to the Liukou, there are villagers who escaped by luck to report for help, the Jianan prefect came to suppress the bandits overnight, unfortunately the champion Hou and others in order to protect the villagers, and the Liukou were unfortunately killed!"
"Okay, that's it!" Governor Li stroked his palm, "This official doesn't believe it, under the encirclement and suppression of nearly a thousand people, the champion Hou can still escape." β
In this way, the unfavorable factors of the appearance of the rogue in Jianan can also be offset by his timely extermination of the rogue bandit.
Although Governor Li was very confident in the people he invited before, a person like him was not a stunned young man who had just entered the officialdom, and he had already planned for the worst when he decided to make a move against the champion Hou.
The nearly 1,000 officials and government soldiers were assembled early in the morning, and at this time they decided to break the cauldron and sink the boat, so they quickly rushed over and went straight to Baiyun Village.
The night was dark and the wind was high, and the sound of fighting and deafening footsteps made every house close their doors and windows tightly, and they didn't even have the courage to look at it.
This night, I don't know how many people shivered under the quilt.
Hundred ghosts walk at night, is Baiyun Village about to be in trouble?
