Chapter 974: Waking up in the middle of the night

For a while, the originally quiet city of the neighboring county also became noisy and intense.

One of the guards also quickly ran into the inn on this side, and entered the room where the guard leader was.

The guard also pounded on the door in a hurry.

The head of the guards living in the inn's room suddenly heard a sharp knock on the door, and he quickly got up from the bed, and then rushed to the door and said:

"Come in."

After speaking, a guard also pushed open the door, and then ran into the room, and the guard sitting on the edge of the bed led the fist and reported:

"Qi Yu leader, the big thing is not good, a group of carriages suddenly came outside the city, and a large number of black-clothed masked people with strong martial arts rushed out of the carriage, killing and wounding many guards at our city gate, after these people got off the carriage, they all rushed straight into the city, they were menacing, and they rushed into the city, I don't know what these people want to do, and please lead the way to deal with this matter as soon as possible."

The leader of the guards listened to the report of his guards, and suddenly a group of black-clothed masked men broke into the city, and killed and injured many guards, menacing appearance, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and suddenly said with a look of confusion and puzzlement:

"Oh! Who are these people? If I am not mistaken, they should be the key criminals who escaped from Kyoto City under the order of Lord Shangshu. ”

The guard also said anxiously:

"Now the guards in ambush in the city can't resist the attack of those black-clothed people at all, and please ask the leader to find a way to deal with them as soon as possible, otherwise, if you continue to fight like this, it will rarely be unfavorable to us, if they enter the city, burn and loot, it will inevitably bring a catastrophic blow to the people in our county!"

The leader of the guards also choked up, and said with displeasure:

"Damn! I don't know when the guards sent by Lord Shangshu to support our neighboring counties will arrive, and now, all the guards I can mobilize have been dispatched to the gate of the city, and I can still think of ways to arrest these people! ”

The guard was still anxious and excited, and said:

"Leader, it's time for you, you can't think of a way, you have to hurry up and report to your lord! Otherwise, we can't hold on to such a big matter, so let the adults find a way to deal with it. ”

The leader of the guards also said excitedly:

"Now it's only like this, I'll rush to see the adults and let the adults find a way, otherwise, I won't be able to deal with it."

Immediately, the leader of the guards also got up and walked briskly to the outside of the door.

After leaving the door, after walking out of the door of this inn quickly, the leader of the guards also looked at the neighbors of the neighboring county not far away, and there was indeed a group of black-clothed people who were fighting with their own guards.

The leader of the guards was also stunned, and then walked quickly to the county lord's mansion in the neighboring county.

Soon, the leader of the guards also went to the county lord's mansion in the neighboring county.

After going to the mansion of the county lord of the neighboring county, the guard leader also asked the guard to take him to the door of the room where the county lord of the neighboring county lived.

After coming to the door of the house of the county lord of the neighboring county, the leader of the guard also said to the guard:

"Hurry up and knock on the door, report to your lordship, and say that I have something important to report."

The guard also nodded:

"Yes, leader."

Then the guard also went to the door, and began to knock on it.

After knocking on the door for a while, the guard, who was also in the room where the county lord of the neighboring county lived, shouted:

"My lord, my lord, if the leader has something important to see, you will reply when you hear it."

The county magistrate of the neighboring county was also lying on the bed in this room, and his wife was sleeping beside him.

After the guard knocked on the door and shouted, the wife of the county lord of the neighboring county couldn't help but open her eyes, and when she heard the knock on the door and the shouting of the guard, she also sat up quickly, and then immediately reached out and patted the county lord of the neighboring county who was asleep next to her, and then shouted:

"Sir! Wake up, sir! “

The county magistrate of the neighboring county also opened his eyes slowly, as if he had not woken up, and said to his wife in a bit of a daze:

"Madam, why don't you sleep in the middle of the night!"

The wife of the county lord of the neighboring county also said excitedly:

"Master, there are guards knocking on the door, in the middle of the night, something big must have happened, otherwise, the guards under him would not have come to knock on the door so late."

After listening to his wife's words, the county magistrate of the neighboring county also immediately cheered up, and then listened carefully, someone did knock on the door, and from time to time there was the shouting of his guards:

"My lord, I want to see you!"

The county magistrate of the neighboring county also choked up immediately, and then said with an excited face:

"Something big must have happened."

Immediately, the county magistrates of the neighboring county also quickly got up and got out of bed.

After getting out of bed, the county magistrate of the neighboring county was also wearing his official uniform, and rushed to the door of the room and said:

"The official knows, don't knock on the door."

Soon, the county lord of the neighboring county also put on his official uniform, and then he also glanced back at his wife, and said seriously:

"Madam, you go to sleep first, and I'll come when I go."

The wife of the county lord of the neighboring county also nodded, and then said with a look of concern:

"Okay, sir, don't be too anxious!"

The county magistrate of the neighboring county also walked quickly to the door of the house.

After walking to the door of the house, the county lord of the neighboring county also opened the door and walked out of the door quickly.

After going out of the door, the county lord of the neighboring county also quickly closed the door.

The leader of the guards also rushed to the county lord of the neighboring county, and then clasped his fists and said:

"Lord Qiyu, something is wrong."

The county lord of this neighboring county also said to the leader of the guards under him:

"Talk to the official in the room."

The county lord of the neighboring county also took the guard and led the way to the door of the meeting hall on the side.

After entering this door, the county lord of the neighboring county also walked to his seat and sat down, and also looked at the leader of the guards under him and asked:

"What's going on, so anxious?"

The leader of the guards also choked up, and then said excitedly:

"Back to my lord's words, in the middle of the night, suddenly from the direction of entering the city gate suddenly rushed into the city to a large number of black-clothed people, all of them were wearing masks, and they didn't know what the purpose of this group of people was to kill into the city, however, the subordinates concluded that this group of people was very likely to be the one who was ordered to be arrested by Lord Shangshu, but the current situation is that they are all strong in martial arts, and the guards under them are simply invincible, and the guards sent by Lord Shangshu to support do not know when they will be able to arrive, Now, the guards under him have also suffered heavy losses, and if they continue to fight like this, the guards under them will not be able to support it for long at all, and the subordinates are also in a hurry, so they are in a hurry to come to your lord to get an idea. ”

The county lord of the neighboring county heard the leader of his guards say what happened suddenly, and he suddenly seemed a little caught off guard, and said with a tangled and anxious face:

"What! That's going to happen! How can this be true, this group of people are all in black, and they all wear masks and suddenly enter the city, what do they want to do? If the guards can't catch them, then the official can't deal with it! After all, the guards sent by Lord Shangshu to support did not arrive, and even if they were the fugitives ordered by Lord Shangshu to be captured, then we would not be able to arrest them! These people are strong in martial arts, and there are only more than 1,000 guards under the official, and if they can't be caught, the official will have no choice! ”

The leader of the guards also said with a puzzled face:

"My lord, the main thing now is that we don't know what their purpose is when they entered the city in the middle of the night. If they come into the city to burn and loot, it will be a great danger to everyone in our city! If things get bigger, then there is no way for the adults to explain to the court! ”

The county magistrate of the neighboring county also frowned, looked embarrassed, and looked even more at a loss, full of depression:

"The official you are worried about also knows, but I can't deal with it now! If these black-clothed men who have entered the city really want to burn and loot, then we can only watch! Who asked the imperial court not to send more guards to the neighboring counties for reinforcements? ”

After the leader of the guards heard such depressing words from the county lord of the neighboring county, he also said with a tangled face:

"My lord, anyway, we still have to find a way to deal with this first! You can't sit back like this! ”

The county lord of the neighboring county also gasped, nodded and said:

"You're right, we really can't sit still, even if we can't catch these people in black, then we have to do our best, when the time comes, even if Lord Shangshu blames him, the official will find reasons and excuses to beg for mercy!"

The leader of the guards also nodded:

"Yes, my lord, that's what my subordinates mean, we just need to do our best, we really can't catch those black-clothed people who suddenly broke in, then as long as we do our best, then Lord Shangshu will have no problem with us."

After finishing speaking, the county lord of the neighboring county also said with a serious face:

"Then now, the guards that this official can mobilize are only these dozens of guards in my house, and this official will hand over all these dozens of guards in my house to you now, and you will take them out to fight and deal with those black-clothed people who break into our city."
