Chapter III. The sword asks the Northern Swallow 202
It is true that although the plan to save people that Bai Heng came up with is not foolproof, it is even in the eyes of smart people who are good at holding on to the plate, and it is difficult to reach the hall of elegance at all; But this very rough rescue plan is extremely in line with his own style. And all the accidents he had planned in advance, except for the swastika on his chest, which he really didn't expect, the other possibilities didn't happen at all. It can be said that the whole process of this plan was according to his expectations, step by step, according to the script.
According to his preconceived plan, after leaving the Marquis's Mansion for a while, the journey was nothing more than a long detour, and a few more unlucky people who happened to bump into him along the way; For the Heavenly Spirit Vein, even if there are three more burdens, there is no danger for half a point......
But when he carried the three hostages who fell into a coma and stepped out of the door of the firewood room, he was immediately stunned by an unexpected scene......
It seems that human arithmetic is always inferior to heavenly arithmetic, even if his name is a heavenly spirit vein, he can't touch half of heaven's will.
The backyard of the Marquis's Mansion, which had already been cleared by his own hands, was already filled with a tense aura of slaughter at this time. Including the rockery in the pool, the spire of the pavilion, the courtyard wall of the Hou Mansion and so on, all the corners of the wall were already full of soldiers wearing military uniforms in the west of the town at this time; Bai Heng glanced at the past and felt that the number of people here was at least about four hundred!
What's even more terrifying is that each of them has a delicately crafted crossbow in his hand, and the sharpness of the crossbow arrows is also aimed at the direction in front of the firewood house......
According to Bai Heng's own ability, Mo said that there are only a few hundred crossbowmen, even if there are several times or even dozens of times more people, as long as he has nothing urgent to do and free up his hands to clean them all up, it is just a matter of drinking tea and eating a meal; However, at the moment, the three hostages are sleeping with Zhengxiang, and they don't have any ability to protect themselves at all; If you do it rashly, although you will definitely not be in danger of your life, these three hostages will immediately become three living hedgehogs, and they will be completely dead.
"A bold thief, who dares to break into the Marquis of Xin'an Mansion late at night, intending to rob the imperial court Qin prisoners on death row? Do you know that this is a capital crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family? However, I haven't left the Hou Mansion at this time, if you can wake up now and be arrested, I can also help you get through a bit and beat you up for a burglary, at least I can save your head! If you refuse to listen to my kind advice and still insist on going your own way, then don't blame the crossbow arrows in our hands for being ruthless, they don't have eyes! ”
The building opposite this firewood house is a large dining room where the people of the Hou Mansion and the soldiers of the Protectorate dine. Now the man's voice that persuaded Bai Heng to surrender came from the top floor of the dining room. Bai Heng looked up, and saw that in the shroud of the night, several figures were lying on the eaves, and around those figures, there were still cold lights flickering here and there! Looking at the light of this light, the tip of the crossbow in their hands was definitely forged from the finest stainless steel; Perhaps, it's still the kind of high-end goods with a three-edged blade that can penetrate armor!
However, although the tone of his persuasion was quite peaceful and neutral, this combination of soft and hard words contained great moisture. First of all, since this man can climb to the roof, he must be a trained soldier. A Zhenxi Army with a military status, no matter how high or low his position is in the army, even if Chen Ziling himself comes in person, he is absolutely not qualified to convict or exonerate a person! Although the arrest of people is the business of their guards; But whether to kill or not to punish is the scope of responsibility of the prefect of Chang'an City, Lord Wang Yiwang, what does it have to do with them?
And if he knew it in his own heart, no matter who this person was, as long as he dared to trespass into the marquis's palace late at night and attempt to rob the imperial court, there would be no room for bargaining at all; According to common sense, they didn't need to say a word of nonsense at all, they should have given an order and shot their group of four people with random arrows, and then hung their bodies on the tower at the south gate of Chang'an City; So now that he is tricking himself into surrendering with both soft and hard methods, there is only one possibility behind it: the defense force of their Marquis' Mansion has been placed in front of him.
The Chang'an battalion is divided into four small-character battalions, and when they are full, they are all 500 people. Now there are about 400 soldiers of the Ruizi Battalion that Bai Heng can perceive, which means that all the guards on duty and off-duty are already here; The rest should be just the sick and wounded who can't get out of bed at all; Since this is the case, then Zhou Changfeng, the Marquis of Xin'an, must be somewhere in the backyard now......
There is no doubt that this series of strange things tonight all fell in the eyes of Zhou Changfeng. Until Bai Heng, who was dragging his family, showed his figure from the door of the firewood room, all the mysteries that puzzled him were instantly answered. This is like a blind man touching an elephant, and now Bai Heng and the three hostages around him are equivalent to the trunk of an elephant touched by Zhou Changfeng......
At least he thought he had seen through Bai Heng's whole scheme.
Needless to say, the enthusiastic person who anonymously reported to the Hou Mansion must be Bai Heng. His purpose was to transfer the defense forces of the Marquis's Mansion in advance, so that he could enter the palace and rob the prisoners without knowing it; As for the fire and 5,000 soldiers in the Jingzhao army camp, it must have come from the handiwork of this Heavenly Spirit Veiner, in order to completely disrupt the order in the city, eliminate the living forces as much as possible, and artificially create a vacuum period for the city's defense, so that after he succeeded in taking prisoners, he could take advantage of the chaos in the city to escort the hostages out of the city faster and safer.
Although Zhou Changfeng's conclusion is basically correct, it is only the process of reasoning in it that completely deviates from the development trajectory of the truth.
There is no doubt that it was him who reported the news and that he was the one who set the fire; However, the people who slaughtered the defense army of Jingzhao City were those white-clothed cannibals who were making a fortune in silence. These yellow finches took advantage of the fire in the city and suddenly killed the Jingzhao soldiers when they were busy fighting the fire, and only then did they suffocate the unarmed Jingzhao army in the fire. So if you want to trace the murderer, he Bai Heng is just an accomplice at best.
So why is Bai Heng extremely sure that Zhou Changfeng must be hiding nearby? The reason is also very simple, Chang'an City is now in turmoil, and more than half of the garrison force of the Marquis' Mansion has also been transferred to Shengpingfang to suppress the thieves and quell the chaos; And the remaining 500 sharp-character battalion soldiers have now all come to the backyard to capture and kill Bai Heng; If someone sneaks into the Hou Mansion in a while, where can he go to rescue the soldiers? Therefore, in order to prevent the enemy from playing a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain, he can only come to catch the thief with this last group of defense forces!
After thinking about this section, Bai Heng said with a relaxed expression:
"Circumference Wind is coming, right? Less of these scenes, how about we have something practical and talk about a deal? These three dolls, you will let me take them away steadily and safely; In return, someone Bai also spared your life today, what do you think? ”
Zhou Changfeng, who was sitting in the servant's dining room drinking tea, almost had a heart attack after hearing these words! Who is surrounded now? And who is being stared at by hundreds of Seiko crossbows? And what kind of deal is this, dare you Bai Heng don't pay a penny, and I still have to take out three hostages? Besides, Shen Gui is not right for you, the two of us obviously agreed to replace people with Zhenlong nails, but now you didn't find the nails, but you sent such a big god to grab them, isn't this untrustworthy? Besides, you don't want to be the emperor, nor are you from Beiyan, why do you always get involved in the housework of our Zhou family?
The nagging in my heart is nagging in my heart, but now this sharp-character battalion soldier is still outside with strings and arrows, waiting for his handsome order! As the soil emperor of the land of Sanqin, and he has the reputation of the king of Xiao Qin, it is not good to become a bargaining small merchant and vendor, right? In the face of such a shameless threat from the Heavenly Spirit Veiner, even if I pretend, I have to pretend to be cold-blooded and ruthless, calm and composed; Otherwise, who would want to die for a coward in the future?
"All the soldiers obeyed the order, and only the first offender was punished, regardless of life and death; When the thief is captured, be careful of the lives of the three court violators, and try to stay as long as you can. Otherwise, Ben Hou will not be able to explain to the Son of Heaven. ”
Zhou Changfeng gritted his teeth and issued a tough guy handsome order, which not only announced that he had grown a fearless and fearless iron backbone, but also provoked a top difficult opponent in the sky and on the ground; At present, although he is not only happy, but also establishes his own glorious and majestic fearless image; But how will he live in the days to come!
In fact, this matter is purely because he thinks too much; As early as the day he tore his face with Shen Gui, it was destined that Bai Heng would definitely not be his friend of Zhou Changfeng. Of course, even Shen Gui himself is not clear about this, let alone Thaksin Anhou Zhou Changfeng!
As soon as the order is exported, arrows rain down!
Although the attack range of the crossbow bolt is not far, it is better because the attack speed is fast and the attack frequency is higher; If you add the high-cost high-quality crossbowhead, it is really the most lethal top-notch artifact of all medium-range weapons!
For ordinary people, the power of this thing is no less than a sickle in the wheat field. However, just when the rain of crossbow arrows as dense as locusts crossing the border hit Bai Heng, it was as if it had pierced an incomparably hard egg, and after a crisp sound out of thin air, those crossbow heads that were broken by stress immediately flew out in all directions!
Zhou Changfeng, who was lying by the window peeking at the battle situation, and looking at Bai Heng with a smug face, unconsciously gave birth to a sense of fear: Is this the legendary release of the Heavenly Spirit Vein's internal breath and external release? What kind of demon is this? And his Bai Heng's fearless and fearless momentum, could it be that he has thousands of pairs of courage in his body? Even if he was confident, in the face of this kind of stainless steel three-edged armor-piercing crossbow, he dared to put it at a distance in front of his eyes, and only then did he instantly shake it open with his internal breath...... This is beyond the scope of fearlessness and arrogance, he has regarded everything as a pig and a dog, and he has not put it in his heart at all! Sure enough, it is the Heavenly Spirit Vein who is above all living beings, the courage of the sky is as deep and lofty as the sky, and the good spirit of the earth is as generous and peaceful as the earth!
In Bai Heng's heart, he was also nagging a sentence at this time:
"Damn, I was almost killed by him, but it's really dangerous!"
