The cottage is dark at night, and the atmosphere is oppressive and cold.

Li Xun sat on the chair in the council hall, his face was as dark as frost, his eyes were like falcons, staring at the two people standing under the hall.

At this time, the condition of Zheng Sheng and Sima Xin was not good, Liu Dong was killed by the two of them, and they also paid a lot of price.

Liu Dong's screams and the movement of the fight alarmed the rest of the cottage.

The people who entered the door to check the situation were all frightened, Liu Dong fell in a pool of blood, his dead eyes were full of despair and disbelief, and Zheng Sheng and Sima Xin smiled relaxedly.

Fortunately, Li Xun came in time. Otherwise, the two of them would have been killed by the angry Liu Chixing and others to vent their anger.

After that, they were brought here.

In the past two days, Li Xun was very tired.

From Liu Yang's insistence on leading some elite people to attack Qingzhuling, to the failure of the operation, Liu Yang disappeared, and the official army searched the mountain. Then Gao Xu, Liu Dong and others insisted on leaving the village, and the high-level leaders in the village have been arguing endlessly. Finally, by this evening, the people who went out to investigate reported that the officers and troops had evacuated Taihe Mountain in the afternoon.

As soon as he relaxed his mind, he heard the news that Shi Special and Wang Xiang had killed Liu Dong!

They stabbed Liu Dong in the side of the neck with a bamboo thorn and killed him. The two of them fought desperately to kill him.

It's incredible.

Li Xun got up and asked in a deep voice: "Do Liu Dong know you?" Is there a grudge? Why do you kill? Also, who are you? ”

The two are silent, Liu Dong is dead anyway, no one knows them here, silence is the best choice.

"Don't say? In this case, if I forgive you, I will not be able to appease the hearts of the people in the village. ”

The two of them were silent, and Li Xun continued: "Of course, I can give you a way out. One life for another, Liu Dong died alone. One of you will pay for his life. ”

Sima Xin and Zheng Sheng glanced at each other, what does this mean?

"Just tell the other party's identity or tell me why he killed Liu Dong, and you can live." Li Xun's eyes probed into the expressions of the two of them.

Sima Xin shook his head and said, "Did the two peaches kill the three soldiers?" Wang Xiang, you can't see his idea, right? ”

"Uncle Li is reluctant to kill us. Why did we kill Liu Dong, he was curious! Also, he wants to drive a wedge between us! Zheng Sheng also smiled.

Sima Xin nodded, they had also discussed what to do after the killing.

But in the news that Tian Bao revealed to them, there was a secret that Li Xun did not have a good impression of Liu Dong. Therefore, if they killed Liu Dong, Li Xun may not be murderous against them.

However, after listening to Zheng Sheng's words, Li Xun closed his eyes, and after a while, he opened his eyes suddenly, "Whether you are killed or not depends on your next words and deeds." Come on, get pen and paper! ”

Zheng Sheng and Sima Xin were pressed, sat down face to face, stuffed a pen in their hands, and put a piece of Zheng Zi paper on the desk in front of them.

"Wang Xiang boy, you are only ten years old, smart and witty, how can you not cherish life?"

Immediately after, he turned his head, "And Shi Te, let's believe that you are the queen of the county, but it is a pity to die here." ”

Li Xun waved his hand, and two strong men walked up to the two of them with long knives in their hands.

His eyes were condensed and he said, "Don't say it? Then both are dead! ”

Zheng Sheng glanced at the sharp weapon in the knife hand's hand, and thought to himself that Li Xun was really coming? It's not scientific. Could it be that he was mistaken?

"A stick of incense time, you think about it." Li Xun sat down again, waiting for the time to pass slowly.

Sima Xin went back to his old ways, he sat straight behind the desk, the pen stuffed into his hand was placed on the table, his eyes closed, and he ignored Li Xun's words.

Zheng Sheng was restless, and there was almost no room for recovery when things got like this. They might be dying, what can they do?

The incense gradually burned out, and Li Xun got up: "I have done my best to be benevolent and righteous, have you two figured it out?" ”

Zheng Sheng grabbed the pen with a serious expression and began to write. Sima Xin's expression was shocked, and he couldn't believe this scene.

"That's very good, Wang Xiang wrote to the boy, don't you write some Shi Te?" Li Xun chuckled.

At this time, a person suddenly broke in with a panicked expression, "Sacrificial wine, it's not good, hundreds of officers and soldiers have crossed Qingyun Creek and are already approaching the cottage!" ”

Li Xun's face showed a look of shock, but he still said calmly: "It seems that the official army has already figured out the location of the cottage, and today's retreat is a plan to capture the old people." Don't panic, just guard the gate and go! ”

Before Li Xun walked out, he ordered again: "Take care of them, wait for us to repel the officers and soldiers, and then take them to sacrifice the flag!" ”

"The official army is coming?" Zheng Sheng was speechless, it was really the right time to come, and he still had some regrets!

Sima Xin walked over and picked up the paper on Zheng Sheng's table, Zheng Sheng smiled awkwardly, "I just want to laugh at him again, but I don't mean to betray you." ”

Sima Xin silently put it down, "Next, what should we do?" ”

Zheng Sheng said: "The official army is coming, of course we are looking forward to the victory of the official army, break through the walled gate, and rescue us." ”

Sima Xin nodded.

At this time, there was a burst of killing shouts outside, and the two people who stayed at the door to guard them seemed to have received new orders and left in a hurry.

Zheng Sheng said to Sima Xin: "Let's go out and have a look!" ”

The two went out together. At this time, the Lehuo village was already in chaos, and the rockets were flowing with beautiful tail light, falling on the houses and fields of the Lehuo village, turning into a raging sea of fire.

The official army attacked rapidly, but the Lehuo village also dealt with it in an orderly manner, except for the middle-aged men who went up to the wall, other old and young, women were organized, or carried water to fight fires, or to carry various materials.

Of course, more children began to cry as well.

Zheng Sheng and Sima Xin were outside the easternmost council hall of the cottage, which was a place where the war could not be reached. Out of the lobby, the two found it safest and stayed here.

The fire burned, lighting up almost half of the sky. From here, the scene from more than 100 meters away can be seen clearly.

The battle was fierce over there, and it seemed that thousands of troops came and crashed into the thin wall.

At this time, Zheng Sheng heard a childish voice: "Don't cry, we're here." Let's go into the lobby, and tomorrow we'll go to the fish together. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Shengle was happy, and looked over there, it was Tian Bao who brought a lot of children to walk here.

Seeing Zheng Sheng, Tian Bao's eyes lit up, "Wang Xiang, are you here too?" ”

Zheng Sheng praised: "You are very good, you actually brought them over." ”

Tian Bao showed a frightened expression: "A lot of bad people came out there and burned down our house. Uncle Li asked me to bring them here. I didn't expect you to arrive! ”

Zheng Sheng and the others also helped him comfort these children.

The fighting over there continued overnight. The children calmed down and fell asleep in the council hall.

After that, Sima Xin kept an eye on the battle over there.

The officers and troops continued to attack until the next morning, when the fighting stopped.

Zheng Sheng also fell asleep against the corner. When the fighting stopped for a while, Zheng Sheng, who fell asleep listening to the sound of killing, woke up in shock: "Why did it stop?" Attacked? ”

Sima Xin shook his head: "They are not iron-beaten bodies, and if they attack overnight, the soldiers will definitely be tired." ”

Indeed, after Mingjin withdrew his troops, the officers and soldiers gathered their casualties, and they retreated to the west side of Qingyun Creek, cut down the towering giant trees there, and began to build camp. Lohas Village also began to treat the wounded, rest, eat and prepare for war.

In the tent that had just been erected, Lieutenant Liu Min of Shunyang frowned and listened to the battle damage: "Twenty-nine people were killed and one hundred and nine people were wounded." The thieves were also killed or wounded in the hundreds. ”

Liu Min was noncommittal about the battle loss ratio and began to arrange the defense of the camp.

At this time, a red-eyed hunchbacked old man walked in angrily: "Lieutenant, why did you stop attacking?" In two more hours, the stockade will be breached! ”

After Liu Min finished arranging the defense, he turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Xia Xin, this is the military camp. It's up to me to decide how to arrange it. ”

Xia Xin roared angrily: "The old man handed over the military order, and he must take down the thief's cottage today." Doesn't you, as a manager, understand the truth that even I understand? ”

Liu Min turned away, ignored him, picked up a book and read it.

At this time, a tall young man walked in outside the tent, Liu Min saw it, and said happily: "An Jian, how about searching this morning?" ”

Li Anjian didn't squint, but he stumbled into Xia Xin, and he bowed a little gloomily: "Report to the general, from the second half of last night to the end of the night, the Qingzhuling scouts and the left team searched Nanshan and found nothing. ”

Xia Xin gave him a hateful look and turned to leave.

Liu Min snorted coldly: "The old slave wants to atone for his sins with the blood of my warriors, it's just wishful thinking!" ”

Li Anjian was silent.

Liu Min sighed: "Zheng Shizi and Xinye Gong are tracking the thief missing, and this matter can still be concealed for a while. Even if the cottage is broken, Xia Xin, the thief, will not be forgiven. You can rest assured. ”

Li Anjian nodded, and he took out a small piece of cloth from his arms: "We found this." ”

Liu Min took it and looked at it with some confusion: "This is?" ”

"It's not my family's son, and it's not the county's. But I showed some of the guards and said that it was very similar to the clothes that the thief Liu Yang wore that day. ”

Liu Min said happily: "It's good to find Liu Yang!" Well, I'll send one more team and keep searching in the direction you found it! ”

Li Anjian finished reporting the matter and left with his leave.

Liu Min stopped him and hesitated for a moment before saying, "If you are interested in joining the army, you can come to Shunyang to find me in the future." ”

Li Anjian thanked him, turned around and went back to the tent on the west side of the camp. However, now the tents here are quiet, and they are full of Tiger Guard Camp guards who have searched the mountains and forests in the middle of the night.

Li Anjian walked to the tent, and Wan Yun and Zheng Shangzheng discussed things together.

They have had an extremely difficult past two days, so let's not talk about the process of finding Zheng Sheng. Xia Xin, who was caught by them, was taken away by the people of the King of Shunyang after the evidence of the crime was clarified.

Xia Xin begged for a chance to see Sima Chang again. Xia Xin did not hesitate to sell the way of survival, he knew that Sima Chang would not be able to find his younger brother, and he would also be severely punished.

Sima Chang also hated this thief. He transferred half of the pro-army, plus 500 county soldiers, led by Lieutenant Liu Min, and killed Taihe Mountain!
