Chapter 118 Robbery while the fire is on
"This is a rebellion!"
Tie Xinyuan saw the guy who had been hit by an arrow in the thigh and ran back to the dining room.
But the fellow didn't seem to have run back out of fear, he didn't even pay attention to the arrows stuck in his thighs, grabbed a horn bow from the wall, took a bag of feather arrows, and went to the door, cursing loudly and shooting arrows out of the door.
Every time he drew his bow, he drew it to the fullest, and the feathered arrows carried his anger and shot into the bodies of the Tubo and the Western Regions who were fighting each other.
One person dared to do this, which surprised Tie Xinyuan very much, in fact, the Xixia people in the inn were only this guy and the shopkeeper.
The rest are hired from the Western Regions, and more are women from the Western Regions, who are the main people who take care of this inn.
Seeing the guy leaning on the door frame to draw a bow and shoot arrows, Tie Xinyuan couldn't help but sigh, that's why the Western Xia people are the masters of this land.
The strength of the soul is the real strength, this guy thinks that the Tangut people are invincible in his heart, so he will face a group of people alone and kill fearlessly.
If it was a normal day, neither the Tubo nor the Tangut would have the courage to oppose this Tangut man.
Today, however, the crowd has gone crazy.
Tie Xinyuan is very confident in his mushroom powder, and since he got the mushroom powder, he can't do without this thing. It has been proved that no matter how strong a person's heart is, he will still be outnumbered in the face of a dense rain of arrows. Xu Dongsheng looked at the Xixia guy who was shot like a hedgehog by random arrows, dropped his wine glass in surprise, and with a whistle, seven or eight men in white jumped out of the room and surrounded him tightly.
Arrows kept coming in from outside the house. Hu Ji, who was sitting quietly in the corner, was immediately in chaos after seeing the Xixia guy being shot to death, screaming and rushing to the back door.
Two of the orchids were a little slower when they were shot down by the flying feathered arrows, and one was wounded in the shoulder. The other was injured in the leg, and after the injury they even forgot to protect themselves, only screaming in horror.
Tie Xinyuan threw away the two pot lids, this thing was able to resist it, but fortunately, the two orchids leaned together, holding the pot lids, at least for a short time, there was no worry about their lives.
Random arrows were shot at the iron pot, clanging and clanging. Yu Chi Zhuozhuo was detained in the cauldron by Tie Xinyuan, and he shrank on the edge of the huge pot stove, hoping that Xu Dongsheng could use his power to drive away those Tubo people or people from the Western Regions.
He forgot one thing.
The villain has never been reliable, Xu Dongsheng's servants have already been injured, and they actually removed the door panel, used it as a big shield, and leaned on each other to go back to their rooms.
The battle outside the door gradually faded away, and the feathered arrows that flew into the inn seemed to become sparse.
Tie Xinyuan raised his head cautiously. After carefully observing the movement outside, he released Wei Chi Zhuozhuo from under the iron pot. I came to the gate with the lid of the pot.
The fighting is still continuing, but it has evolved into a battle between the Tibetans and the people of the Western Regions, and the sound of killing is shaking the sky on the streets for a short time, and it has come to this point. No one knows the reasons for the start of the war anymore.
Tie Xinyuan carefully avoided the corpses all over the ground, lest someone who was not dead suddenly jump up.
Wei Chi Zhuozhuo walked through the pile of corpses more easily than Tie Xinyuan, and he jumped to the weapon shop they had been optimistic about earlier.
Seeing that Wei Chizhuo skillfully threw a torch into the dark room, Tie Xinyuan rushed into the armory shop.
The shopkeeper of the armory store he had killed was still lying on the ground, and the blood that had flowed out had been frozen to ice. The dark face was covered with a faint layer of frost, as if a layer of powder had been applied.
After looking at the shop for a moment, Tie Xinyuan followed the technique taught by Qiao'er, and gently struck the walls on all sides with his sheathed short sword.
Finally, his gaze fell on the ground behind the counter, and a distinct blood ice spread here, only to disappear suddenly.
He and Wei Chizhuo worked together to open the heavy counter, Tie Xinyuan struggled to pull a pull ring, only to hear a slight click, and a small piece of the floor was dragged up by him.
Tie Xinyuan tore the shopkeeper frozen on the ground off the ground with all his might, and then threw the hard corpse into the dark passage. Hearing a grunt, the shopkeeper's corpse fell straight down in the dark passage.
There seemed to be no one inside.
Wei Chi Zhuozhuo closed the door of the armory shop and locked the door with the latch, so that only the heavy breathing of two people remained in the dark room.
Wei Chi Zhuozhuo blew on the fire medium, found the oil lamp and lit it, Tie Xinyuan touched the soft armor on his body, and went down the tunnel with the oil lamp.
There was wind in the tunnel, and the flames of the oil lamp fell backwards, and Tie Xinyuan cut off one of the treasurers' arms with a short sword, and used his arm as a stick.
Tie Xinyuan ignored the boxes piled up on the side of the tunnel, went straight to the deepest part of the tunnel, pushed away the hay piled up on the tunnel, and he saw the lifeline of the sandbar - Duxiang River.
This is already outside the city?
Tie Xinyuan threw away his stiff arm, carefully hid the exit, and said to Wei Chi Zhuo, who was screaming in the cave: "Hurry up and find your people, empty the things here before dawn, and then leave quickly."
That Tangut guy is dead, and the Tanguts in the barracks will definitely go crazy. ”
"There are a lot of feathered arrows here, wolf's tooth arrows, carved arrows, four strong crossbows, a box of strong bows, long knives and short knives, ah, flails and maces."
Tie Xinyuan quickly ran back, closed the box opened by Captain Chi Zhuozhuo, pushed her to the armory store and said angrily: "Hurry up and call someone over, be quick, wait a while, these things don't belong to you in a while, take the things and run quickly."
I'm going back to the inn. ”
Yu Chizhuo took out a Qiang flute, puffed out his cheeks and blew two long notes and one short tone vigorously.
Tie Xinyuan saw more than a dozen people slipping over from the root of the opposite wall, so he patted Wei Chi Zhuozhuo's shoulder and said, "Hurry up and leave when you get the things!"
If possible, I will be back this time next year, and I will take you back to Da Song when the time comes. ”
Wei Chi Zhuozhuo knew that he couldn't keep Tie Xinyuan, so he took off the Qiang flute around his neck, put it in Tie Xinyuan's palm and said, "We'll wait." ”
Tie Xinyuan took the palm-long Qiang flute, pinched Wei Chi's burning little face, pointed to the tunnel in the armory store, and whispered: "You all hurry up and get in, I'll light the fire." ”
Sure enough, it was a group of women, who walked lightly as if they were drifting.
A sturdy woman walking at the back turned her head and looked at Tie Xinyuan with her own eyes at the moment she got into the tunnel: "Dare to turn your back on the scorching, although the end of the world, I will kill you!" ”
Enraged, Tie Xinyuan picked up Wei Chi Zhuozhuo, who was snickering on the side, and threw her into the secret passage, then closed the tunnel door, and pushed the heavy counter over with all his strength.
Without stopping for a moment, he found the lamp oil and splashed it everywhere, lit the heavy curtain, and then ran into the door of the inn strewn with corpses.
Xu Dongsheng held a strong crossbow and watched Tie Xinyuan rush in strangely, and shouted from afar: "What about your woman? ”
"I was captured, can you help me get it back?"
Xu Dongsheng dragged out a plump Persian dancer from the room and pointed at her and said to Tie Xinyuan: "If you catch it, you will be arrested, and my brother will give you another one." ”
Tie Xinyuan shook his head with a smile, and went back to his room through the defensive circle set by Xu Dongsheng.
It was night, the north wind was howling, the fire burned all night, at dawn, the wind stopped, and the whole Shazhou city from the inn to the east, all turned into a scorched earth.
When Mu Xin returned from the city lord's mansion and saw the corpses everywhere, he was furious, and the Tibetans and the people of the Western Regions were immediately strangled like never before.
It was the Tangut who killed people, and they called this killing act a harvest.
The dead were all Tubo people, and the people of the Western Regions, their wealth naturally fell into the hands of the Western Xia people, seeing the city lord's mansion counting the mountains of goods, Tie Xinyuan finally understood why they called killing people harvest.
Xu Dongsheng couldn't close his mouth with a smile, a lot of goods went into his warehouse, and all he paid was three glass beads and boxes of goods trafficked from the Great Song Dynasty.
Tie Xinyuan was terrified, if it weren't for the fact that Wei Chi Zhuozhuo had been driven away by him yesterday, at this time, he would definitely be even more afraid.
It was never a pleasant experience to see your own people killed, even if they had nothing to do with you.
Even if it's a forest, when one tree is cut down, the rest of the trees will be afraid.
At this time, Tie Xinyuan only hoped that Wei Chi Zhuozhuo and they had already left Shazhou with countless goods.
The weather was beautiful, but Mu Xin had no intention of leaving, and the Shazhou city lord of Western Xia surveyed the population of a household, as long as it was not a merchant or an aborigine, their heads would be cut off by the Xixia people, piled up outside the gate of the city lord's mansion, and after splashing water, they were frozen into a terrifying Jingguan by the cold wind.
Tie Xinyuan and Xu Dongsheng went to see it, and after they came back, they were not in a very good mood.
"Power is a good thing, Xiao Tie, you must get the position of the old man in the mountains, in that case, our brothers can walk sideways in the desert of the Western Regions."
Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "Old Xu, this morning Elder Mu Xin told me that he was still doing arithmetic, and it seems that his old man didn't plan to teach me how to be an old man in the mountains." ”
Xu Dongsheng whispered: "You can be satisfied, if it weren't for the fact that Elder Mu Xin's clan had been killed, if you want to get his recommendation, go dream." ”
"You think I should be an honest puppet?"
"Didn't Cao Cao coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to kill Emperor Han Xian? A rich life is also rare in the world. ”
Tie Xinyuan smiled: "Then let's take care of the puppet, anyway, even if we can get that position, it's not my credit." ”
Xu Dongsheng said with emotion: "Even a puppet is a noble puppet, and many people want to be a puppet but can't get it." ”
"Why don't we go yet?"
"Wait for someone to pick us up, otherwise, our manpower will not be able to cross the desert at all, as long as there is a slightly larger sand bandit, we will be finished." (To be continued.) )
