Chapter 457: Boundless Rescue
"Huh~ What is this?" The man looked up at the sky a few times, then curiously picked up the stick, looked through it, and then was still curious about the place where the smoke was coming from, and went to the fire to see more clearly.
"Boom~~~"
At the moment when he was close to the fire, the wooden stick in the man's hand exploded, and the terrifying explosion directly blew a large number of flames into the sky, and the red charcoal wood flew around like a meteor, which was also mixed with steel bullets and shot out in all directions.
And at the moment of the explosion, the whole head of the guy who picked up the grenade was directly blown to pieces, and he died of anger without making any sound, and more than ten people sitting around the fire did not react at all, especially a few men who wanted to come over to watch were also directly blown up at the same time, and the other men also let out a terrible scream like a thunderbolt and flew out, and the steel bullets fluttered and directly penetrated the flesh and exploded a puff of blood.
Flames, stumps, flesh and blood, rolling, wailing, and the front of the cave instantly plunged into a terrible sea of fire.
And this night thunderous sound rolled out, resounding in the silent barberry mountains, and countless beasts roared in panic and roared everywhere.
"Out~" Bai Zhen stood up and roared, pulled out the steel sword behind his back, kicked open the gate and rushed in.
Chen Xu was naturally not far behind, he grabbed the handcuff in front of him and rushed up, and the water was soft and his body was like a willow leaf, holding a short sword and following him lightly.
"Kill~~" The forbidden army behind the three of them also roared like wolves, rushing through the gate one after another, the light crossbow in their hands had already opened, and anyone who saw that they were still rolling on the ground and not dead was directly an arrow.
"What happened?" A group of people rushed out of the cave in a panic, but what they saw was the flames all over the ground and the fierce soldiers roaring through the firelight.
"Qin Jun!?"
After a short period of stunnedness, there were countless panicked exclamations, and the people who rushed out scattered in a hurry, some turned back and ran into the cave, some ran to both sides of the cliff, and some continued to be stunned.
"Puff puff~" In the gloomy and dark twilight, one after another crossbow arrows tore through the air and shot in the direction of the cave, and several people instantly fell to the ground and rolled in pain.
"The Qin army is coming, run away!"
Although this is a group of soldiers of the Six Kingdoms left behind, and they were also butchers who fought on the battlefield, but after several years of hiding in this mountain, and also experiencing the fight with the Qin army, the fierceness of the Qin army has already left an indelible terrifying impression in their minds, so they suddenly found that the big Qin soldiers wearing black armor and holding bows and crossbows, the first thing these people think of is not to resist but to flee, so this terrible roar will directly make the entire cave fall into a panic.
"Kill in ~ no one will be left!" Bai Zhen roared, his eyes were red with excitement, and the big sword in his hand slashed over the two fleeing mountain bandits and rushed in without hesitation.
"Kill~~"
Immediately after that, all the forbidden troops also followed fiercely into the cave.
The Qin army came suddenly, which was something that the mountain bandits never expected, so the entire cave could not be described as panicked, but completely chaotic into a pot of porridge, hundreds of people fled like headless flies, although there were bold and sober to get weapons to prepare to resist, but how to have a forbidden army that had already been well prepared, so these people hurriedly got the weapons before they had time to turn around, they were shot directly through the back by crossbow arrows and fell down, and other people who ran and shouted could not escape the slaughter.
In less than ten minutes, the battle had come to an end.
"Stop, leave a few alive!" Chen Xu took a look around the cave with a handcuff and found that except for the mountain bandits who were staggering and wailing and rolling, he didn't see Yu Wuya's shadow at all, so he hurriedly asked Bai Zhen and the forbidden army to stop.
"Stop, stop~" Bai Zhen also recovered from the rise of killing, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to stop the slaughter, but at this time, the entire cave was already filled with a strong bloody breath from the inside out, with dead people and blood everywhere, and the sound of wailing and crying was endless.
There were still seven or eight men who were forced to squat on the ground in the corner by a group of forbidden soldiers, all trembling with fright.
In addition to hundreds of men, there were dozens of women, young and old, including several pregnant women with big bellies and more than a dozen children, the eldest was five or six years old, and the youngest was only a few months old, and was still held in his arms.
"Say, where did you get a young man in black half a month ago?" Chen Xu kicked a middle-aged man who looked good to the ground.
"If you don't say it, you'll die!" Bai Zhen directly rested the big sword on the man's shoulder.
"Big ...... My lord...... Plentiful...... Spare ...... That one...... Black...... The man in black is locked up in ...... Shut up there! The man stammered and pointed to a row of wooden fences on the side of the cave.
Chen Xu turned around and walked over, and Shui Gentle and Bai Zhen hurriedly followed.
This is a natural cave, the outside looks like a cracked mouth, but the inside is huge, there are several acres of area, and there are many huts built with rough wood and stone against the mountain wall, it seems that these mountain bandits live on weekdays, at this time the people inside are either killed by the forbidden army or driven out, one by one frightened lying on the ground dare not move.
Chen Xu walked to the edge of a fence, but it was dark and he couldn't see anything, he could only smell a smell of feces, urine and feces, and several forbidden soldiers lit the fire to open the door of the fence, and there were still a few pigs inside, obviously a pigsty, and in the corner of the pigsty, there was really a person tied up, his clothes were dirty and smelly.
"Brother Yu!" Chen Xu could see at a glance that this person was Yu Wuya, rushed over to pick the person up, and found that he was still tied to the railing of the fence with thick copper shackles on his hands, feet, and neck.
"Eun Gong?" The man who was covered in pig dung and couldn't see anything opened his eyes, and let out a cry of surprise with his dying breath.
Call! Chen Xu breathed a long sigh of relief, Yu Wuya stinked at this time, but he could still speak, and it didn't seem to be a big deal.
"Find the key!" Chen Xu yelled.
Soon, several soldiers found two bronze keys, opened the bronze shackles, and several people worked together to carry Yu Wuya out of the pigsty.
"Senior Brother~" Looking at Yu Wuyan, who was dirty and smelly, and could barely see his true face, the water was soft, and tears rolled out, and he couldn't hold back the sad howl in his heart anymore.
"Hey, my junior sister is here too, I'm sorry, my senior brother almost didn't see you marry Engong!" Yu Wuya was even more surprised, struggling a few times to stand up, but he collapsed to the ground with a pop.
"Don't cry, don't cry...... Go get some water, I'm going to take a shower, it stinks...... Boundless vows...... I will never eat pork again in my life...... Poof......" Yu Wuya said a word intermittently, and then opened his mouth to spurt out a mouthful of blood and fell into a coma.
Two hours later, it was already late at night, the mountain wind was cold, the sky was picturesque, and under the canopy of stars scattered with a few stars, the dark mountains and mountains were like beasts dormant without any sound.
The cave has returned to its usual tranquility.
The corpses were all carried to the open space outside, piled up haphazardly, several fires rose in the cave, several pigs in the pigsty had been dragged out and killed, the soldiers who had experienced a battle were all roasting around the fire to eat, and the women and children in the cave were all hiding in the corners and shivering in fright, and the few who were still alive were also tied hand and foot and thrown on the ground.
Yu Wuya washed it with water several times, changed into a clean clothes of a mountain bandit, and fell asleep after drinking a bowl of gruel, the water kept crying softly beside him, and his beautiful eyes were red and swollen from crying.
The two have been cultivating in Lushan since they were children and grew up together, although they did not have the kind of affection between men and women, but the relationship between the two like brothers and sisters can not be changed, and Chen Xu also understands the pain of almost separating yin and yang.
Regarding what happened to Yu Wuya, Chen Xu was naturally concerned and angry.
Yu Wuya is very weak now, very weak, almost the weakest since Chen Xu saw Yu Wuya, he is like a waste person, he has no strength to speak, and after cleaning it, he found that his eyes, ears, mouth and nose are all dry bloodstains, and his breathing chaos is almost to the point of running out of oil and lamps, which looks countless times more dangerous than the first time he was rescued by Chen Xu.
That time, Yu Wuya was severely injured by the ink crossbow, and his blood almost dried up, but after stitching up the wound, he only regained his vitality after one night, but now two hours have passed, and the situation has not improved in the slightest.
Fortunately, if it was a day or two later, Chen Xu would not dare to imagine the fate of Yu Wuya.
"Say, how did you get my brother caught?" At this time, after packing up and eating some food, Chen Xu began to interrogate several prisoners.
And Bai Zhen and a circle of forbidden troops armed with big swords and crossbows were all eyeing each other, and several captives were scared like chaff, and the mountain bandit in the costume of a cloth scribe stammered and said: "My lord, spare your life, your brother was caught by Duke Ran and Princess Wei half a month ago!" ”
"Who is Ran Gong?"
"Ran Gong...... Ran's name is Ran Feng ......"
"Ran Feng?" Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, "Is it the copper and iron merchant in Wancheng?" ”
"Yes, yes!" Several bandits nodded together.
Chen Xu instantly understood that in March last year, Ran Feng led people to attack the emperor's line in Wancheng, and after the failure, he may have led people to hide in this barberry mountain.
"Who is that Princess Wei?" Chen Xu asked again.
"Princess Wei's name is Gongsun Beiyan, and she is a descendant of Gongsun Yan!"
"Is it her? How did he get involved with Ran Fengdou? Chen Xu was inexplicable, but he also realized a little in an instant, whether it was Ran Feng or Gongsun Beiyan, the purpose was to overthrow the rule of Great Qin, and it was not strange that they could be mixed together for the same goal at the moment, maybe the kings and nobles of the six countries and the rebel forces in the past were more or less openly and covertly connected.
And it is precisely these people who are constantly secretly fueling the troubles and colluding with each other, which makes the people of Daqin unstable and undercurrent.
