Chapter 74
The people in the hall shrank together, especially the few little maids and Zheng Xiancheng's old lady, who lowered their voices and cried, but Li was very calm, hugged the three children together, and whispered comfort. The lightly injured guards struggled again, picked up the sword, Lin Zimo also put down the work in his hand, called An Le and the two guards, and whispered: "In case the robbers attack in a while, you don't care about anything, escort the two little young masters out safely, and they must be handed over to the prince." "The children still have a good time, and they can't die here unjustly, especially Zhu Rui came to this poor country for him, he can't be sorry for him.
An Le hurriedly whispered: "Wang Jun rush out with us, call a few more people." Lin Zimo shook his head: "If there are too many people, it will attract attention, and if I am here, no one will pay attention to you anymore, so let's see the opportunity to rush out and don't look back." "The boat capsized in the gutter, who knew that the robbers in this place would dare to start the idea of robbing the government?
picked up a knife and gritted his teeth, it's a big deal that the master died here today. In the courtyard and in the house, as long as they could move, they all stood up silently, and copied weapons in their hands, even their kings, a weak scholar, could see death as home, there was no reason for them to be a turtle with a shrunken head.
Those who had been lightly injured gathered at the door, and a large number of tables and stools were piled up there. The sergeant lying on the wall did not make a sound, but shot sharp arrows fiercely, striving not to waste a single one.
The robbers found a log out of nowhere and slammed it down and down the gate. The creaking gate finally couldn't hold it anymore, and it fell down after a "bang", and the robbers outside the door screamed: "Hurry up and grab it, the silver and beauties are all ours-"
The guards who were crouching on the wall jumped down, and the lightly wounded rushed to the door, and fought with the robbers with their eyes wide open. Lin Zimo looked at the more and more robbers outside the door, and the guards of the palace fell one after another, showing a wry smile, maybe he was the first traverser to die so badly! Forget it, with a swing of the knife in his hand, he rushed forward hard, killing one is enough, killing two to earn one!
The facts are different from what I thought, Lin Zimo, a small figure like a weak chicken, is not someone's opponent at all, he just approached a robber who was fighting with the guards, and wanted to take advantage of it and deal with others together, but as a result, he was kicked on the heel by others and fell into a mess. Just about to get up, he was slashed by a robber on the head, and he couldn't even dodge, seeing that he was going to cut him, he couldn't help but stimulate his blood, and he poked it with a knife, and used a lose-lose play, the master is dead, and he has to pull a cushion back.
The feeling of the knife entering the enemy's flesh came, and I was relieved that I finally didn't have to die in vain. After closing his eyes for a long time, the other party's big knife did not cut down, and when he opened his eyes slightly, he saw that the other party had big eyes with copper bells, and his face was in disbelief, holding the knife and slowly falling down, in addition to the hole he gave to the barrel in his chest, there was also a feather arrow in his back.
For the first time, he saw the person he killed fall in front of his eyes, Lin Zimo felt weird, and he couldn't say what it was like. Before he got up, he was suddenly hugged by a strong arm, the familiar smell warmed his heart, and at the critical moment, Zhu Rui arrived.
The shouts of killing shook the sky, and Lin Zimo was hugged by Zhu Rui to the corner of the wall. Seeing a lot of guards, they continued to pour into the courtyard, and the robbers who had rushed in were less and less able to stand. Suddenly thinking of the children, he hurriedly shouted: "Haotian, Hui'er and Ze'er, they-" Zhu Rui, who frowned and paid attention to the battle situation, glanced at him and touched the blood stains on his face: "It's okay, it's been protected, don't worry." ”
Since the children were fine, Lin Zimo was completely relieved and paid attention to the battle situation. The field had already fallen on one side, and the remaining robbers saw that the general trend had gone, and they rushed to escape, and the palace guards took advantage of the victory to pursue, and after a while, in addition to the corpses in one place, there were only one hundred and ten guards left in the courtyard.
The courtyard could no longer stay, Zhu Rui took Lin Zimo and all the children and daughters into the county hall together, arranged the old and weak women and children into the inner hall, and used the hall as a temporary headquarters.
The guards on the mountain had all rushed over, and with many people who consciously participated in the battle, they began to fight in the streets with the robbers. From time to time, someone came in to report the battle situation, and Master Wang, who was full of wolves, also entered the lobby: "Lord Wang, according to preliminary statistics, there are about more than a thousand robbers attacking Yanshan County, and now half of them have been wiped out by the escorts, and the bandits have begun to retreat." Zhu Rui's face was full of iron, not only did he capsize in the gutter, but he almost caught his wife and children, how could he not be angry: "Sue Liu Changlu, chase and intercept, be sure to put them in the pot." ”
The county town gradually quieted down, and Zheng Xiancheng's blood spot also came in to report: "Master, there are basically no robbers in the city, and the officials are cleaning the battlefield with the people." Zheng Xiancheng also had palpitations, but fortunately, I don't know where the master transferred a team of people from to solve the urgent need, otherwise everyone would have to repay the court with death.
Zhu Rui nodded, he had already lost confidence in this county man, but he didn't expect that he didn't drop the chain at the critical moment. Wen Sheng said: "Zheng Xiancheng has worked hard, your family members are in the back hall, you can go and take a look." Zheng County Cheng was overjoyed, although he didn't have time to take care of his family, but he was still worried, and when he heard that his family was fine, he let go of most of his heart. bowed and saluted: "The lower official will arrange the family and immediately go to appease the people." ”
When I entered the back hall, I saw the old lady and the wife and children huddled together, and hurriedly greeted them: "Mother, are you okay?" The old woman's chubby face twitched, and before she could recover from her fright, she saw her son come in, hugged her and cried, "You dead child, where have you gone?" scared the old lady to death. Zheng Xiancheng comforted: "Mother, my son is an official, and he should serve the court at a critical moment, but he just suffered my mother." "After this battle, let alone the old lady, even he was almost scared to pee, but he finally survived.
looked around and asked Li: "Lady, where did Liu go?" After all, she is a wife who has been in love for several years, and she is very worried about it. Only then did everyone realize that they didn't bring Liu over, Li pouted and let go of the three children in his hand: "She bumped into Lin Gongzi and was tied up in the back hall." Zheng Xiancheng was startled, and looked at the old lady, Liu is a relative of the old lady, and has always loved her, the corner of his old lady's mouth twitched: "This child doesn't know what evil he has fallen into, and he insulted Lin Gongzi vigorously, and was tied up by the master's close attendant." Although she is eccentric, the old lady is not stupid, she offended the grandfather's family, and she is patient with her son's career, which she does not want to see.
looked at the Li family, although she didn't want to admit it, but this village woman she usually looked down on had a vision, and in the future, it was better to be as fair as possible!
Zheng Xiancheng was angry and worked hard outside, but he ended up with such a stupid woman, and almost wasted his efforts. It seems that the back house will have to be cleaned up in the future, and he also faintly saw that the master was dissatisfied with his back house, he used to earn one eye and close one eye, but during this time, he also secretly observed the family, but the Liu family did not make a lot of trouble.
When I came to the back hall, I saw Liu Shi tied to the corner, his face full of tears and snot, and the feces and urine on his lower body flowed together, and he was close to the stench. Zheng Xiancheng pinched his nose and stepped forward, cut the rope with a dagger, and just took out the rag in her mouth, he hugged Zheng Xiancheng's thigh and cried: "Master, you want to be the master of the slave family." ”
Zheng Xiancheng looked down at her in disgust: "Do you still have the face to cry?" What are you doing to provoke the grandfather's family? Liu raised his face: "It's a rabbit master, but I'm afraid that people won't be able to say it?" Zheng Xiancheng was angry, and he is still a dead duck with a hard mouth, is the master the person you provoked?
was not polite at the moment, kicked her on the heel, and said viciously: "I'm talking nonsense, go back to your mother's house." Liu looked at him in disbelief: "What did you say?" This time, even the old lady spoke, compared to her son's future, nieces, nieces and so on, they all had to be behind: "Why are you so confused? Now go home right away, don't say a word, the Zheng family can still tolerate you, otherwise, I have to give you a leave of absence. "In fact, speaking of which, Liu's is not up to the original qualification to receive the leave of absence.
At this moment, the madness in Liu's eyes gradually subsided, and his face showed fear. It was a widow who remarried, and if she was really driven back to her parents' house, her life would be over.
The next morning, the people poured into the streets, their faces full of fear. Zhu Rui posted a notice for the people, and listened to Lin Zimo's construction, and asked the two classes of officials to beat the gong and preach everywhere: "Under the notice of the master: all the robbers have been eliminated, there is no danger in the county town, and the people should go to work, and they should go to work."
After a few trips back and forth, the bustling crowd quieted down and gradually dispersed, and the order in the county gradually returned to normal.
The people were pacified, and all the corpses were disposed of, and Zhu Rui breathed a sigh of relief. The back house can't go, there are broken walls and rubbles everywhere, blood is all over the ground, he himself is nothing, but he is afraid that his wife and children will live awkwardly, anyway, the new house has been completed, so he will simply move over today.
Xiao Fuzi greeted him outside the gate, his face full of worry: "There is nothing wrong with the Dong Weng family, right?" "The robbers made such a fierce fuss, no one thought of it, but he was a weak scholar who couldn't help much, so he had to huddle in the new house with the little scholar who served him and chanted Buddhism, hoping that everyone would escape this catastrophe.
Lin Zimo nodded: "It's nothing, fortunately, Master Xiao is fine." "When the so-called scholar encounters a soldier, he can't explain it clearly, and he has no ability to fight with the enemy, so of course he won't complain about the people who are also scholars.
As soon as they sat in the hall, they had their own subordinates to clean up the work, Zhu Rui and Lin Zimo hugged one by one, for fear that the children would leave a psychological shadow. Who knew that the two children were bigger than the other, and they didn't care about it at all, Zhu Ze still ate the dim sum, and the birds were not the two of them, while Zhu Hui was talking about the night battle with great interest, and he couldn't see that he hadn't slept all night: "Next time there is such a thing, father, you must take the child with you, and how happy it is to cut people with a big knife." Even with a gesture, Zhu Rui almost couldn't hold him.
The two of them looked at each other, I really don't know if the two children are like this, is it a blessing or a curse? One is a snack and the other is violent.
was talking about the excitement, and a sergeant came in to report: "General Liu Changlu replied that he had chased the robber's lair, located on Jigong Mountain, eighty miles to the left front, and is now attacking, please rest assured." ”
Zhu Rui had a relieved expression on his face: "Sue Liu Changlu, you must copy their nest, otherwise you will come to see you." "I've never been so wolf in my life, but I almost planted it in this small ravine, or with his wife and children, how can he not hate?
