Chapter 45, Winter Cloud City's call for help
Ran into Uncle Cai's yard, and the scene that everyone didn't want to see was presented! Uncle Cai was falling to the ground, there was a deep knife on his back, and the blood flowing from his back had been diluted a lot by the heavy rain. Everyone hurriedly ran forward to help Uncle Cai on the ground up, but Uncle Cai had already lost his breath. Zhu Xinyan and Ao Yi hurriedly ran into the kitchen and found that Aunt Cai had also collapsed in the kitchen, she had been stabbed in the chest, and she was also dead. And in the pot in the kitchen, tonight's dish is being stewed...
Lin Luxian and the others never expected that Uncle Cai and his wife, who had given them vegetables at noon, were now separated from them! The three girls knelt in front of the corpses of Uncle Cai and his wife, and they were about to cry and dry their throats.
Dianpu hurriedly ran out of the courtyard and shouted, "Who did it, get out of here! I'm going to break you to !!pieces."
Xiao carefully examined the wounds on the corpses of Uncle Cai and his wife, and then looked at the horseshoe prints next to them, and then said, "They were killed by a knife, and the murderer did not have the slightest trace of mud and water! I looked around and saw if I could find any living villagers. ”
Lin Luxian followed Xiao and said, "I'll go with you! We must find the murderer of Uncle Cai and his wife and these villagers, and avenge the dead! Bingyun, please bury Uncle Cai and his wife near here." ”
Xiao and Lin Luxian went out of the courtyard, only to see that the whole village, men, women, and children, had been killed! The cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks in the village were also snatched away, and not a single one was left! Fortunately, under a cowshed, Xiao and Lin Luxian found a survivor, Huang Qi, who was in his forties. Huang Qi was stabbed in the back, lost too much blood, and was dying of death.
Seeing Xiao and Lin Luxian, Huang Qi, who was lying on the ground, used all his strength and said in a weak voice, "Help, save me... ”
"Don't make a sound, I'll help you!" Lin Luxian pressed his hand on Huang Qi's wound. Ten minutes later, Huang Qi's wound could be regarded as stopping the bleeding, and the wound slowly healed. From Huang Qi's mouth, Lin Luxian and Xiao learned that Haizhu Village had been ransacked by mountain bandits today! Mountain bandits killed people when they saw them in Haizhu Village, and they lost their conscience! In the end, the mountain bandits robbed all the villagers' money and young women, and even the village's livestock were taken away by them. And these mountain bandits are usually entrenched on Huadai Mountain, thirty miles away.
"Go, go to Winter Cloud City, find, find the city defense officer... After saying this last sentence with difficulty, Huang Qi closed his eyes, completely out of breath, he lost too much blood and died, even if Lin Luxian healed his wounds, it only extended his life for a few minutes.
Back at Uncle Cai's house, the four of them were digging outside the yard in the rain, preparing to bury Uncle Cai and his wife. Xiao and Lin Luxian also joined in. After burying Uncle Cai and his wife, Lin Luxian and the others opened the cellar of Uncle Cai's house, but fortunately, the cellar was not discovered by the mountain bandits, and the clothes and weapons inside were still there.
Early the next morning, after changing their clothes and taking their weapons, Lin Luxian and the others prepared to go to Huadai Mountain, which was 30 miles away, to kill the mountain bandits and avenge the villagers of Haizhu Village! However, as soon as they walked out of the village, they met a group of soldiers running in the distance, all of them were wearing silver armor, and there were about 200 of them! And their armor was the same as the guards at the south gate of Dongyun City, and it seemed that these soldiers were the defenders in Dongyun City. Seeing the menacing defenders of Winter Cloud City, Xiao felt bad, and hurriedly hid and lurked around to observe.
Seeing that Lin Luxian and the others were holding weapons, the defenders of Winter Cloud City hurriedly clenched their spears and surrounded Lin Luxian and the others.
Dian Waterfall was already angry, but when he saw the defenders surrounding them, he clenched the dragon scale sword, stepped forward and shouted, "You grandsons, you have the ability to fight me alone!"
At this time, a person wearing bronze armor walked out of the defenders, and behind this bronze armor, there was a white cloak, and this person had a sword hanging from his waist, it seemed that this person should be a general.
The general said to Lin Luxian, "Hurry up and lay down your arms and surrender, otherwise you will be buried here!"
"We didn't break the law! Why arrest us!" Zhu Xinyan shouted unconvinced
"That's right, what's wrong with us, why do you want to do this to us?" Lan Bingyun asked puzzled
"Don't talk nonsense with them! For the rude people, just kill! The dragon scale sword in my hand has not been sticky to blood, today, it's just time to test the knife with these people!" Dian Pu said viciously
Zhu Xinyan wanted to use the pyrotechnic technique, but her staff was already soaked with rain, and she couldn't control the flames for a while.
"Since you don't listen to the advice, then don't blame General Ben for being ruthless! The soldiers obey the order! Kill these mountain bandits on the spot!" the general shouted
The three soldiers took the lead in attacking the waterfall and stabbed the spears in their hands at the waterfall, and the waterfall clenched the big sword in his hand and slashed it with force! He cut off the three spears that were stabbed at him at the same time! Looking at the spear that was cut off in his hand, the three soldiers were startled! Hurriedly retreated. And Lin Luxian also squatted down, blocking the dragon pattern shield in front of him to resist the attack of the spear, while Zhu Xinyan hid behind him. Ao Yi used his twin swords to fight several soldiers. Lan Bingyun hurriedly flew into the air and shot a few arrows at the general, but they were all dodged by the general. But the general who dodged the arrows was tripped by Xiao who suddenly appeared in front of him! Xiao held a double-edged spear and stabbed at the tripped general, but was instantly stopped by Lan Bingyun.
"Wait, Xiao! There must be a misunderstanding in this!" Lan Bingyun shouted at Xiao
Xiao's spear blade stopped in front of the general's neck, and he shouted to the soldiers beside the general, "If you don't want your commander to die, put down all your weapons!" Seeing that the commander's life was in danger, all the soldiers put down their weapons and then retreated some distance.
Lan Bingyun flew up to the general and fell, and said to the general, "This big brother, you must have misunderstood us, we are not some mountain bandits, but people who want to help the villagers of Haizhu Village take revenge." Haizhu Village was sacked by mountain bandits, and all the villagers were slaughtered, including our relatives! If you have to think that we are mountain bandits, then you can't stop us from avenging the villagers of Haizhu Village!"
Hearing Lan Bingyun say this, the general immediately said, "Misunderstanding! If it is really a misunderstanding, we are reckless, and treat all the immortals as mountain bandits, I really don't know Mount Tai! I hope you will forgive me!"
Lin Luxian motioned for Xiao to let go of the general. After the general got up from the ground, he bowed to Lin Luxian and the others with both hands in his fists, and then said, "It's the last general who is abrupt, and treats all the immortals as mountain bandits, and I hope that all the immortals Haihan, regardless of the past suspicions!"
"What are you calling us? Shangxian?" Zhu Xinyan asked the general
"I have seen the methods of the immortals, you are absolutely extraordinary! You must be immortals from the heavens who have come down to help us resolve the crisis in Winter Cloud City! Immortals can no longer be humble!" said the general respectfully
The general continued, "The last general's name is Song Yiqian, and he is the deputy general guarding Dongyun City. Early yesterday morning, our spies intercepted the information of the mountain bandits, and learned that the mountain bandits would sack Haizhu Village last night. So I came with my troops early this morning, but I didn't expect to meet all the immortals, this is really my blessing in Winter Cloud City!"
When Dian Pupu heard Song Yiqian say this, he was even more angry! He stepped forward and grabbed the collar of Song Yiqian's armor, lifted Song Yiqian with one hand, and roared angrily: "I knew early yesterday morning that the mountain bandits were coming to ransack Haizhu Village! What are you doing now? Come and collect the corpses of the people in Haizhu Village!"
Ao Yi also said, "That's right, it's too late for you to come, even if you don't send troops in time to protect the villagers of Haizhu Village, at least send someone to Haizhu Village to inform you!"
Zhu Xinyan hurriedly asked Dian Waterfall to put down Song Yiqian, "Dian Waterfall, let him go, listen to what he says first." ”
Song Yiqian, who was put down, said: "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! You immortals don't know, after learning that the mountain bandits were coming to sack Haizhu Village early yesterday morning, I immediately led 200 people to prepare to leave the city and rush to Haizhu Village. But not long after I left the city gate, I received an order from General Zhao! I was told to hurry to the tower at the north gate to discuss the urgent military situation! After I went up to the tower at the north gate, General Zhao told me that the outpost north of Dongyun City had been attacked by wild people from abroad, and six of the ten soldiers in the outpost had been shot dead, and this was a blatant provocation by the wild people! Our spies had already discovered that the wild army was approaching Winter Cloud City, and they were stationed fifty miles outside Winter Cloud City! According to the analysis of various reports, the wild people would attack Winter Cloud City in the near future! There are tens of thousands of people in Winter Cloud City, so I didn't go to Haizhu Village after that, but began to deploy troops to fortify around Winter Cloud City, and I was busy until this morning... I didn't have time to rest, so I rushed to Haizhu Village with two hundred soldiers, but I didn't expect that I was still a step late, I was really ashamed!"
"Hey, forget it, you did your best, you have your troubles. "Zhu Xinyan can understand Song Yiqian, there are only a few hundred villagers in Haizhu Village, but there are tens of thousands of people in Dongyun City, Song Yiqian is not wrong to choose Dongyun City first.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The Wild Clansmen are menacing this time, leading 100,000 troops to be stationed fifty miles away, but the defenders of Dongyun City are less than 20,000! And it is too late to ask the Imperial City to send troops! It will take at least more than a month for the Imperial City to send troops here! But Dongyun City will be attacked by the Wild Clansmen at any time, and they will not be able to wait for reinforcements from the Imperial City at all! Therefore, the last general implores all the immortals to come to my Winter Cloud City, and help the tens of thousands of innocent people in my Winter Cloud City!" After Song Yiqian finished speaking, he immediately knelt down for Lin Luxian and the others, and then kowtowed three times in a row. The soldiers led by Song Yiqian also knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Luxian and the others.
Lin Luxian and the others were a little overwhelmed for a while when they saw this battle, it was the first time they had received this kind of treatment, and it was also the first time that they were regarded as immortals and admired by others, and it was the first time that they were related to the safety of tens of thousands of people in Dongyun City! Especially Lin Luxian, he was like a dream at the moment, he could never have imagined that he would have such an important day!
Seeing that Lin Luxian and the others were a little hesitant, Song Yiqian continued: "I know that all the immortals are eager to avenge the villagers of Haizhu Village, but the Huadai Mountain where the mountain bandits are entrenched is too big, and the army must be dispatched to encircle and suppress them! But you Shangxian don't need to worry, after helping the tens of thousands of people in Dongyun City to overcome the difficulties in front of me, I will definitely pick a thousand soldiers to assist you Shangxian to go to Huadai Mountain to encircle and suppress the mountain bandits! Please bear with me for the time being!"
Song Yiqian said that he had said this, and Lin Luxian and the others could not shirk it, so they could only temporarily put aside the matter of revenge and follow Song Yiqian to the north gate of Dongyun City.
When they arrived at the north gate of Dongyun City, Song Yiqian led Lin Luxian and a few people to the city tower. In the command hall in the city tower, Song Yiqian introduced Lin Luxian and others to Zhao Shouyan, the general who defended the city. Song Yiqian said to Zhao Shouyan: "General, there is a happy event! Look who I have found? Six immortals who have descended to the earth!"
Hearing Song Yiqian talk about immortals, Zhao Shouyan was also surprised, and he said to Lin Luxian, "I don't know if all the immortals are coming to my Winter Cloud City, and the last general will not be able to meet them from afar, it's really disrespectful, disrespectful! I don't know what wonderful magic and immortal skills you have for the immortals, can you show one or two, let me wait for ordinary people to open their eyes?" Zhao Shouyan said this to test Lin Luxian's ability to see if they were charlatans.
Since Zhao Shouyan had spoken, Lin Luxian and the others had to show him one by one. First of all, Lin Luxian performed in the barracks in the city, except for a few dying and disabled soldiers with prosthetic limbs, he cured the rest of the dozens of patients in the barracks, which took seven or eight hours, and he himself was tired and half dead. Subsequently, Lan Bingyun showed Zhao Shouyan her wings and the white peacock bow in her hand. Next, Xiao showed off his stealth technique, Zhu Xinyan showed off his fire control technique, and Dian Pu showed off the powerful dragon scale sword in his hand and the dragon Ling army golden armor he was wearing. In the end, Ao Yi appeared in the form of a dragon in the river outside the West City Gate.
Seeing that Lin Luxian and the others really had unique skills, Zhao Shouyan was very happy in his heart, and he hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to prepare a dinner, intending to give Lin Luxian and the others a clean sweep and celebrate their assistance to Dongyun City.
After the banquet, Zhao Shouyan gave a suggestion, in the face of the current grim situation, and considering the special abilities of Lin Luxian and others, the following arrangements should be made. Now that the war is urgent, Lin Luxian stayed behind the army to assist the military doctor in treating the wounded. Lan Bingyun led a team of spies to spy on the enemy's wild people's intelligence team. Xiao Ze led a team of people to form an assassination team, if he could assassinate the commander of the wild clan, Kui Muzhen, then he could make the enemy retreat without starting a war, this is the best way! Zhu Xinyan is responsible for commanding the fire attack troops on the city wall. As the city defense officer, Dianpu led the infantry to resist the attack of the wild tribesmen at the main gate. Ao Yi led the warships to intercept the naval troops of the wild tribes from the waterway.
Lin Luxian and the others saw that Zhao Shouyan's arrangements were very light and reasonable, which was in line with their own characteristics, so they all obeyed Zhao Shouyan's arrangements. Subsequently, everyone began to perform their duties and stepped up training, and Lan Bingyun often went to the school factory in the military camp to practice archery.
At noon the next day, the mountain bandits who had sacked Haizhu Village returned to Huadai Mountain, where they were entrenched. They took more than 20 people and hundreds of animals into the cave and locked them in two places.
In the cave with a cave, Jiang Dashu, the second leader of the mountain bandits, said to Zhu Tianxian, the leader of the mountain bandits, "Big brother! This ransacking of Haizhu Village is really a great gain! Although we didn't grab a few dollars, we robbed a lot of livestock, which is enough for us to eat for a while." On top of that, more than 20 young girls have been taken captive! The brothers are very hungry and thirsty in the mountains, and they have long been idle! This time we have had a lot of fun! Hahahahaha!"
Zhu Tianxian said: "This time, we were able to successfully sack Haizhu Village, thanks to the wild people on the border! Although Haizhu Village is a few miles away from Dongyun City, it is still under the jurisdiction and protection of Dongyun City! Normally, we don't dare to come to Haizhu Village to loot because we are afraid of the defenders in this Dongyun City. And now that the wild tribe is overpowering, Dongyun City is difficult to protect itself, so naturally there is no time to take care of this Haizhu Village, so we can sack Haizhu Village so smoothly. ”
"The eldest brother is the eldest brother, and his judgment of the situation is really too accurate! The younger brother is ashamed of himself! But if the wild people outside the country really capture Dongyun City, will it affect us?" Jiang Dashu was a little anxious
"Don't worry, if the Wild Clansmen really capture Winter Cloud City, they won't take care of us. The abundance of materials in Dongyun City is far from being comparable to our small Huadai Mountain. Our Huadai Mountain is just a poor ravine, and these wild people will not take us seriously in any case! No matter what the situation in Dongyun City is, it will not affect our Huadai Mountain! Second brother, you are thinking too much!"
Then, Zhu Tianxian ordered his subordinates: "Brothers, today we are going to kill chickens and sheep, open the altar with fine wine, and celebrate the success of the sacking of Zhuhai Village! And the captive folk girls will be shared for everyone to enjoy in the evening, so you don't have to be too anxious!"
