Volume 2 Ember Chapter 84 Siege
A few wolf soldiers used long sticks to pick open the corpses on the ground one by one, so that the passage was clear, and it was enough for everyone to pass through. When each corpse was thrown into a corner, the floor was stained with blood that had almost congealed and soaked into the cracks in the stone slabs. The blood that flows into the shadows will reach deep into the earth, causing the already vigorous tuber plants to grow very quickly.
The air was soaked with a large amount of fishy smell, and even the breath made people shiver faintly. Beitang Sheng pulled down his hood and exhaled deeply.
By the door, a few wolf servants turned over the dead bodies, took off the hunting knives and wrought iron bracers that had been promised to them, and stacked them one by one in a clean clearing. Their mission was supposed to be to get rid of Yi Yu as soon as possible, but now everyone's movements were much slower, as if they were waiting for something.
"Spread the horses apart, now that they have been seen...... Then we'll chase after those horses. Beitang Sheng turned to look at Yan Yitu, but found that Yan Yitu was not in a hurry to besiege and kill Yi Yu.
"Spread out? Anyway! Yi Yu will definitely leave behind, even if Ning Ye comes to arrest him in person today, he will only return in vain! Yan Yitu buttoned the wooden bar next to the chair and comfortably picked up the tea that had already been cold on the table. The tea was offered respectfully by the shopkeeper of the previous inn, but the body of the person had been separated.
The precious Shangyang tea is the best seed that the innkeeper has planted countless times, and Lu Chi loves precious and rare things, so he gave him this hotel at the price of offering all Shangyang tea. And this team that drove high-hoofed war horses on a rampage could obviously only be Lu Chi's own guards. He was overjoyed and thought that the knights had come to reward him for his exploits for Lu Chi, and hesitated for a long time before taking out the remaining Shangyang tea leaves to serve his guards.
But what he didn't expect was that the reward was a war knife that came with the charge of the warhorse.
"This is the upper yang leaf?" Yan Yitu put his hand into the tea cup, pinched out a small piece of tea leaves, and observed.
"But where did this small hostel get this precious Shangyang tea?" Beitang Sheng grabbed another cup of tea on the table and sniffed it fiercely, and the unique fragrance of tea fell into his nose with the cold wind.
"It's all flashy and useless things, the difference between nobles and untouchables, I'm afraid it's just the difference between these vulgar fans."
Yan Yitu sneered, and the teacup in his hand hung upside down, falling to the ground and shattering along with the porcelain teacup. The man who was leaning against the door to clean up the corpse quickly stopped what he was doing and looked at Yan Yitu's face nervously.
"Hou without territory is a lost dog after all. Lu Chi is treacherous by nature, but he is cautious and causes people's hearts to be scattered. Let's use Liesun City as our stronghold first, and the basement of Wushu City can be stopped for the time being. Yan Yitu took the handkerchief handed over by the servant and dried his hands.
The wind at the door became faster with the sound of violent footsteps.
"Director, it's too late for your subordinates!" The soldier who came from outside the door knelt in front of Yan Yitu and presented a file in his hand, "This is Yi Yu's route out of the city, please take a look." ”
"Escape route?!" Beitang Sheng, who was standing on the side, exclaimed, "How did you get Yi Yu's escape route?" ”
Yan Yitu glanced at Beitang Sheng, took the file submitted by the soldier, and slowly stood up. He was not in a hurry to flip through the file, but leaned towards the back door.
"Of course, I'm just trying my luck." Yan Yitu said in a low voice, "It's just that I didn't expect to win the bet." ”
The back door was slammed open by the cold wind. All the horses raised their heads and roared violently, as if sensing something, and their front hooves even broke through the fence of the stables and scrambled out.
"Our horses are roaring!" Beitang Sheng crossed Yan Yitu in a panic, and laboriously opened the half-open back door completely, "It's the smell of blood!" ”
Beitang Sheng turned back to look at Yan Yitu again, but only saw the banter of his eyes. His hand softened for a moment, and the door that had just been opened returned to its place.
He felt that as Yan Yitu's short-lived ally, he was like a blind man who walked in the dark and couldn't see anything. And the only person who leads the way is Yan Yitu, whatever he wants, he is at his mercy.
"I sent someone to bribe the coachman who followed Yi Yu. The process went smoothly, and the coachman soon told them all the routes of their escape, thinking that they could bring those precious gold baht back to Wushi City intact and spend all their time drinking. ”
"Loyalty is really not worth much." Yan Yitu didn't know when there was a small bag of gold baht in his hand, even if he was caged with a cloth bag, the vague outline could still be faintly revealed, flashing brightly, "That puppet once swore a poisonous oath to Lu Biao, and he will be loyal to him for the rest of his life." At that time, as the head of the back house of the Lu Mansion, I witnessed that moment with my own eyes. But how much is loyalty worth? But that's about it. He even dared to trade his life for me......"
Yan Yitu violently cut the tight rope at the mouth of the cloth bag and threw it into the air. Hundreds of yellow golden baht poured down like fish in the upper reaches of a waterfall, scattered on the ground, making a violent earth-shaking sound. Some of them jumped out of the door with the help of the floor. Some of the gold baht was smashed on the soldier's body, and the soldier lowered his head and ignored the dazzling gold baht.
This rare carved gold lotus pattern gold baht, minted by the largest joint chamber of commerce in the South Continent, is worth ten times more than ordinary gold baht.
Some people even say that these lotus pattern gold baht are even stored in the treasury of Emperor Dayue. But as for the authenticity, no one has verified it. They only know that this kind of gold baht represents great financial power.
And with only a lotus pattern gold baht, those who own it can find a peerless woman who is not a nobleman and does not serve in the best prostitution hall in Liesun City, and sing for one night.
"These ...... It's all carved gold baht? Beitang Sheng stared blankly at the scattered golden baht.
"The coachman was not afraid of death, and he carried a dagger capable of killing himself, in an attempt to last his dignity. Because he knew who it was. Yan Yitu closed the file with dense small characters written on it and sighed, "It's just that when my subordinates took out these carved gold baht, the coachman magically became afraid of death, and it was only then that he realized that the bag of gold baht in front of him was our bargaining chip." ”
"So the coachman just wants to get those extremely precious gold baht, go away to the South Continent, and avoid the disaster for the rest of his life?"
"It's just that he didn't die...... Yan Yitu picked up a golden baht from the ground, and the warm texture flowed in his hand.
"So you killed him?"
"No, of course not." Yan Yitu sneered.
"Toto!" The back door suddenly hugged the three of them, and they all fell to the ground with a panicked expression, "Our people have surrounded Yi Yu, please give an order!" ”
Yan Yitu was silent, stretched out his leg and kicked away a dead body at his feet, and walked towards the atrium. The servants who were surrounding Yan Yitu and the rest of the soldiers all stopped what they were doing and followed him.
"Toto!" The three wolf Gu soldiers who had previously knelt on the ground still couldn't afford to bow down for a long time, and it seemed that they still had something to say.
"Say!" Yan Yitu squinted and glanced back.
"Dutong, Yi Yuhe...... It seems to have been left on purpose. One of the soldiers had cold sweat on his forehead, and he didn't dare to say any more.
"Stayed?" Yan Yitu's eyes moved slightly, and he slowly smiled, "Very good...... Very good. I wanted to let him live, but he tried to stay and compete with me. ”
As the words fell, Yan Yitu violently pulled out the war knife in his sheath, and his steps were heavy in vain. Behind him, all the wolf Gu soldiers wearing dark colored heavy armor pulled out the war knives in their sheaths in unison, and a murderous aura came out.
"Did you already guess that Ning Ye wouldn't come in person?" Yan Yitu's gaze passed through the entrance of the atrium.
All the wolf Gu
The soldier accompanied Yan Yitu through the back door, and a particularly violent soldier drew his knife and cut down the door leaf that shook in the wind. The procession swept across the stables like the wind, and the violent Luobei horses were surprisingly quiet, as docile as their masters on the battlefield.
The creaking door finally quieted down, and suddenly woke up Beitang Sheng, who was staying in place. Beitang Sheng looked around stiffly, only to find that the three soldiers were still cowering and falling to the ground.
"Get up all three! Keep up with the team! Violators will be killed! ”
The three soldiers looked at each other and quickly stood up, but they did not dare to move, as if they were still afraid of something.
"You're not going to keep up!?" Beitang Sheng angrily drew his sword and raised it in front of the three of them, and he vaguely realized that his order did not work.
"Big ...... My lord, we really don't dare to ......" The soldiers led by him stepped forward boldly.
"Don't dare?" Beitang Sheng frowned, "What don't you dare?!" Say it! ”
Yi Yu ...... He killed everyone...... He killed everyone. Another soldier whispered.
"Kill everyone?!" Beitang Sheng was stunned.
The further the team went, the stronger the smell became. Several young soldiers clenched the knives in their arms and whispered.
"A few of you." Yan Yitu's gaze looked at the soldiers behind the team, "Are they all new warriors?" ”
Several people were stunned for a while, then hurriedly bowed down and said in unison, "Director Yu, these brothers and I are all from the Nineteenth Department of Wolf Gu, and we haven't been in battle yet. ”
"Nineteen?" Yan Yitu turned his head, "No wonder. ”
A violent breath rushed in, Yan Yitu subconsciously took a step back, but nothing happened. But two of the guards behind him fell.
"Protect the capital!" Only one of the remaining guards yelled.
All the soldiers reacted, and they trampled on the fallen corpse in an orderly and swift manner, and surrounded Yan Yitu heavily. Before the concealment arrived, the encircled team marched forward again, trying to overwhelm the territory with a large army. But at this time, several soldiers in front of the formation stood still for a moment, and then they saw the tragic situation in the atrium.
Dozens of corpses in large bodies fell to the ground scattered, and some corpses were left with only stumps and broken legs. The blood that flowed freely had long since dried up and frozen to the surface of ice.
A tall, lanky black-robed figure sat on a corpse, holding a bloody sword in his hand, and looked at the team with a cold gaze. Obviously, the secret weapon that killed the two guards in an instant was thrown out by the black-robed man.
"Expand the formation! Rush to kill! The guards quickly broke away from the group and yelled.
As soon as the words fell, all the people changed formations. But the black-robed man who was sitting suddenly rushed over, and his speed was far above that of the Wolf Gu army! The half-raised sword in his hand shook violently, and the blood condensed on it charged like a strange spell mark.
One of the soldiers at the head hurriedly raised his sword in front of him, trying to block the huge blow, but the black-robed man's long sword was too fast and too sharp. The two soldiers intersected in an instant, and the posture in the soldier's hand had already fallen apart, and the sword and the soldier's head were cut in half.
The other nearest soldier immediately reacted, and when the black-robed man cut off his long sword, he also slashed out his sword, attempting to cut off the black-robed man's head.
It's just that he didn't expect that the black-robed man could cut through all the defenses of his colleagues so quickly, and the war knife in his hand actually showed a trace of fatal laxity at an inopportune time. And after this relaxation, his gaze met the black-robed man.
It was a pair of bloodshot eyes that were about to burst and bleed, and the anger in them seemed to be extremely sharp
