Just as the guards and the guards of the post station were fighting with the dozens of thieves in the front yard of the post station, on the back wall of the post station, more than twenty black shadows climbed over the wall and came to the post house.

It was evident that the thieves were much more powerful than the thieves in the front yard, and whether they climbed over the wall or jumped into the wall, they were so silent that the stationman who stood guard outside a room with a spear in his hand did not even notice the movement behind him.

"Get rid of him!"

One of the shadows, who appeared to be the leader of the men, pointed at the soldier before making a throat-slitting gesture.

Beside him, another dark shadow nodded, and the cat quietly sneaked behind the soldier, covering the latter's mouth and nose with his right hand, and the dagger in his left hand cut the latter's throat in an instant.

The sudden attack from behind made the soldier's eyes widen in pain, and he seemed to want to struggle, but at this moment, the black shadow who cut his throat, the sharp blade in his left hand did not stop, and stabbed under the soldier's left ribs, piercing straight to the heart.

I saw that the soldier was shocked, and then fell down softly.

The black shadow quietly dragged the soldier's corpse to the base of the wall, and then, after taking a closer look around, turned back and beckoned to his companions, presumably meaning that the threat had been lifted.

In an instant, the black shadows of the two dozen cats hiding at the base of the wall rushed over extremely quickly and silently.

"You guys go here, you go there, search house by house, the target should be around here."

The heads of these black shadows gestured with gestures.

The dark shadows nodded, and the twenty or so people divided into three groups and headed in three different directions.

And one of them went straight to the big room where Miss Su, Una and the other ladies were.

At this time, the women were staying quietly in the house, and the sound of fighting in the front yard made them feel very scared, so as the eldest sister among the women, although Miss Su herself was also worried and afraid, she still barely managed to squeeze out a little smile, comforting the sheep's tongue apricot, Una, and Yahuan Lu'er.

In contrast, the two sisters were much calmer, the former leaning against the wall by the door with his sword, closing his eyes as if waiting for something; And her younger sister Mi Rui was sitting at a table full of medicine jars, and she was actually gently humming the rhythm of Chu while mixing some kind of medicinal powder.

The two sisters didn't seem to be worried about the current situation.

Because the room was too quiet, the silence made Miss Su feel hairy, so she couldn't help but ask Mi Jiang: "Mi Jiang, ...... you Aren't you afraid? ”

Mi Jiang slowly opened his eyes and asked expressionlessly, "Why are you afraid?" ”

"Why ......" Miss Su was stunned, and before she could speak again, the sheep's tongue apricot who was being comforted in her arms said timidly: "Sister Mi Jiang's martial arts are very powerful, she won't be afraid." ”

Seeing the looks of the women as if they had suddenly realized, Mi Jiang didn't explain anything.

It's just that in the bottom of my heart, a few pictures emerged: a three- or four-year-old girl, holding a baby girl who was still in swaddling clothes, sat in the carriage in a daze, and outside the carriage, the assassins who came to kill the two sisters were killed by the guards sent by Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, to escort them to Pakistan, and the corpses were everywhere, and the screams were endless.

"It doesn't matter whether the martial arts or swordsmanship are good or not, it's just that I have experienced a lot, so naturally I don't care too much......

Secretly sighed slightly, suddenly Mi Jiang's eyes lit up, and immediately the sword in his arms was unsheathed, and he stabbed his backhand out of the window, only to hear a muffled snort, and the outside of the window paper was instantly stained red with blood.

"Ahh

A scream of several different voices echoed in the room, and then came to an abrupt halt.

It turned out that Miss Su, who subconsciously screamed after seeing the blood on the window paper, closed her mouth and covered the mouths of Una and Yahuan Lu'er with both hands at the same time.

As for the sheep's tongue apricot in her arms, she had already fainted after that scream.

At this time, outside the house, a black shadow who tried to peek into the house from the window was stabbed by the sharp sword in Mi Jiang's hand, and looked down at the sharp blade that penetrated his chest incredulously, I am afraid that he didn't figure it out until he died, how would the people in the house know.

"Is there a tall man in the house?"

The other six or seven black shadows were slightly startled when they saw this, and when they saw that their whereabouts had been revealed, they simply stopped hiding, and one of them raised his foot and kicked the door open with a bang.

Unexpectedly, after the door of the house was kicked open, there was a little girl who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in red and white, looking at them with a smile.

That's Miri.

"Laugh?"

Several black shadows were stunned, and at this moment, they saw Mi Rui's right hand, which seemed to be holding something, to his mouth, and then blew a breath of "exhalation".

Suddenly, a cloud of powder was blown onto the black shadows.

"How ......?"

The black shadow standing at the front suddenly found that his whole body gradually felt numb and itchy.

Before he could react, he only felt that his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground with a pop, and then, the whole person seemed to have the nerves in his whole body twitched violently, and he couldn't help but want to cry out loud in pain, but he was shocked to find that he was unconscious all over his body, except for his eyeballs, which could not even move his mouth.

"Poof—"

"Puff puff

The sound of several heavy objects falling to the ground sounded in a row, and the six or seven black shadows actually fell to the ground one by one, trembling and convulsing.

Only one man in black could still grit his teeth, as if he was struggling to get up, but unfortunately, even he had only one left hand left and could still move, and the rest of the parts were also unconscious.

"Huh? Why don't you fall? ”

Mi Rui jumped up to the man in black who was still struggling, squatted down to look at him carefully, and then, under the latter's frightened gaze, returned to the house and pinched a small pinch of powder, and blew it at him with a "whew".

"One, two, three, four, five......"

Mi Rui counted happily, and when she counted to five, the man in black could no longer hold on, and fell to the ground with a pop, except for a pair of eyes that could still turn, revealing a look of horror, like a dead corpse.

"It's so weak......"

Qi Rui clapped her hands, as if she was a little unsatisfied, and muttered: "At the beginning, Shen Yu and them, but I insisted on counting to more than thirty......" As she spoke, she tilted her head, and muttered as if she was not sure: "Huh? What was it for Shen Yu and them at the beginning, was it this medicinal powder? Well, it seems to be, and it doesn't seem to be ......."

Just as she wrinkled her nose and thought, Mi Jiang walked out of the house with a bloody sword with a bloody blade, looked around a few times with a puzzled expression, and muttered: "It's strange, these people actually sneaked here under the nose of Zong Wei......" After that, she turned her head and said to Mi Rui: "Sister, you stay here, I'll go ahead and take a look." ”

"Sister, just leave it to me with confidence."

Mi Rui said confidently.

Mi Jiang nodded, and was about to go to the front yard with his sword, when he suddenly seemed to think of something, and advised: "Sister, before using poison, remember to give the antidote to the women in the house." …… Remember, let them take the antidote first! ”

"Got it!"

Mi Rui said indignantly, her little face slightly red.

After instructing Mi Rui to dismiss, Mi Jiang hurried to the front yard.

At this time, in the front yard, the guards commanded the soldiers of the post house here, and they were still fighting against the thieves who climbed over the wall in the front yard.

I saw these thieves, dressed differently, and the weapons they used were also different, some used swords, some used knives, and some used short guns, no matter how you look at it, they don't look like the rumored "hidden thieves" who are good at assassination, but like a group of rangers.

The so-called ranger, that is, "wandering chivalry" and "ping (ping)", it was not a good word at the beginning, and it has nothing to do with "the great man, for the country and the people", that is, some martial artists who are a little forceful, hoping to become famous and prosperous, but in the end they can only wander around and earn some bounties to make ends meet.

"Note: In fact, the most appropriate title for this kind of person should be the ronin, that is, "wandering scoundrels" and "people with uncertain whereabouts", which were recorded as early as the Northern Wei Dynasty, and were not the nouns of an island country. However, authors with obsessive-compulsive disorder always feel awkward and disobedient after typing this word. There is no way, the words ronin and rongue have been taken away by the culture of an island country in a sense. It's the result of being culturally imported, and it's a really bad thing.'"

It seems that this kind of wandering ranger, who specializes in earning bounties and serving as a drink, is simply an unorganized rabble in front of the Zongwei and the soldiers of the station, but this time these people come from many places, so the Zongwei are in a bitter battle.

No, some guys don't know if it's for the high bounty, they are simply crazy, and they forcibly break through the defense line of the guards and soldiers.

Seeing that more than a dozen guys were heading towards the house where Zhao Hongrun was, Wei Jiao was in a hurry and shouted: "Chen Xiao, Chu Heng, go help Shen Yu!" ”

"I'm not your subordinate, what are you yelling at me?"

Chen Xiao muttered indignantly, but did not resist Wei Jiao's order and went with Chu Heng to support Shen Yu.

I have to say that Chen Xiao, who has a spear in his hand, is simply extraordinary, and after the scuffle, he killed the most thieves.

And when Chen Xiao and Chu Heng came to the house where Zhao Hongrun was, they found that Shen Yu had really fallen into a bitter battle.

Of course, this bitter battle does not refer to any danger to Shen Yu's life, but to his lack of skills.

Who let Zhao Hongrun and He Zhirong play chess in the house with candles, so that these thieves ran to this bright room one after another.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chen Xiao and Chu Heng coming to support, and Shen Yu, who was surrounded by seven or eight thieves at this time, didn't care about himself at all, and shouted loudly: "Chen Xiao, guard the door!" ”

"They all say I'm not your subordinate...... Damn it! ”

Chen Xiao scolded and ran quickly, because he clearly saw that a thief had bypassed Shen Yu and rushed into the house.

At the same time, Zhao Hongrun was still chatting with He Zhirong, the head of the post station, in the house.

The two were chatting about the 'Yangxia Hidden Thief', when Zhao Hongrun suddenly saw the door of the house kicked open, and a fierce man with a happy face broke in.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun was not in a hurry, picked up a crossbow from the two benches beside him, stood up, aimed at the thief, and without saying a word, he pulled the trigger of the crossbow on his left hand.

Hearing a whoosh, the crossbow shot towards the thief, and the thief subconsciously flashed to the right, and as a result, the crossbow in Zhao Hongrun's right hand was also instantly deducted.

With a pop, the crossbow bolt hit the thief in the chest, and in an instant, the latter's chest was full of rainbows, and he slowly fell to the ground with an unwilling face.

“…… So, Yangxia is now a world of hidden thieves? ”

Without looking at the thief who fell to the ground, Zhao Hongrun frowned and asked He Zhirong.

"Yangxia, in ancient times, was located on the border of Zheng and Song, after my Great Wei destroyed Zheng, it once became a border city of Wei and Song, so that Yangxia for hundreds of years was mixed with dragons and snakes, very chaotic, although the court had the intention to send troops to encircle and suppress, but those people only need to hide in Geyang Mountain, hide for several months, and in the end the court can only return in vain...... Moreover, those hidden thieves lurk among the common people, and they do not know who is a good citizen and who is a thief. ”

After saying that, He Zhirong couldn't help but glance at the corpse of the thief who broke into the house, and his heart was secretly speechless.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: His Royal Highness King Su in front of him, although he was still young, he really deserved to be a person who had commanded thousands of troops and horses, and had seen hundreds of thousands of people fighting at every turn.

Just when He Zhirong secretly sighed, Chen Xiao shouted, "King Su, are you okay?", and broke into the house with Chu Heng, but after entering the house, he was stunned to find a dead body lying on the ground, which seemed to be the thief who forced his way in just now.

Hearing his shout, Zhao Hongrun frowned and said, "Are you afraid that this gang of thieves won't know that this king is like this?" With that, he pointed outside the house and ordered, "Go help Shen Yu!" …… Remember to leave a few alive. ”

"I'm not your subordinate......"

Chen Xiao was muttering in his mouth, but saw that Chu Heng had already picked up the corpse on the ground and walked outside the house.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao grabbed her hair and turned around and walked outside.

But before he could walk out of the house, he heard Zhao Hongrun say calmly: "Close the door when you go out." ”

Chen Xiao opened her mouth, then gave up pleading again, "I am not your subordinate" and other remarks, and obediently closed the door when she walked out of the house.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun and He Zhirong continued to chat about the previous topic.

“…… In any case, if this successive assassination is really inseparable from those hidden thieves in Yangxia, even if I turn the entire Yangxia upside down, I will not tolerate this group of people. ”

Hearing this, He Zhirong reminded: "His Royal Highness the King of Nasu should be careful, those people coerce unsuspecting civilians, slander Your Highness, and spread some rumors that are unfavorable to Your Highness." ”

"Unfavorable rumors?" Zhao Hongrun shook his head with a smile: ""

He said in his heart: No matter how unfavorable it is, can it compare to the rumor released in Daliang?

But then again, according to what he heard about 'Yangxia' from He Zhirong's mouth, that county seat was really a mess.

As the local head snake, those guys who are called hidden thieves can actually override the county order?

"That's a real thing to see!"

Zhao Hongrun said secretly.

He couldn't imagine that there was a county town like Yangxia in his Wei State that was controlled by lawbreakers.

It's incredible! (To be continued.) )
