The alley is narrow, and even if the moonlight is good tonight, it is still dark all the way, and the main thing to rely on to discern the direction is still the sound of fighting in the distance.

Occasionally, chickens and dogs crowed in the nearby house, and some people whispered, until they gradually approached the noise, and a woman in a family screamed in a terrible voice, and in the fall of tables, chairs and benches, men cried hysterically, "Stop making noise!" Don't be noisy! You're going to kill us——! The man kept yelling, and the woman cried intermittently, and at one point, the woman's cry stopped abruptly, and there was a "ho, let go...... Let go, ......" The sound of struggle came out, Liu Bei paused, looked up at the light in the sky fifty steps ahead, then turned around, held his breath, and jumped with his sword......

Soon after, the door on the first floor was broken, the living room was slightly dark, the male owner of the house fell in a pool of blood, and the hostess covered her mouth and looked at Liu Bei with a frightened expression.

Liu Bei didn't say anything, walked up to the second floor with an oil lamp, opened the window, and suddenly opened up in the distance.

Fifty paces away, the mansion was brightly lit, there was a fire burning, figures on the walls turned in and out, and there were people fighting directly on the nearby walls and rooftops, occasionally bows and arrows came and went, but not much. He roughly estimated the time, and then realized that at this time, most of the archers who could be found should be discovered, and if there was still hiding at this time, it was like a wild beast looking for an opportunity, ready to hit with one blow.

His eyes swept around, roughly identifying a few possible hiding places, and suddenly there was a slight sound behind him, he turned sideways, looked at an old woman frozen at the top of the stairs in the faint light, and said expressionlessly, "I'm sorry." ”

"No, the old body knows...... I'm crazy...... Since four years ago, he has been crazy, and he can't bear the slightest wind and grass......"

The old woman's voice was hoarse, and she slowly walked to her feet, obviously to get closer, he looked at the old woman's hands curled up in his sleeves, and said quietly: "I understand the truth of kissing and hiding each other." But he almost killed someone. It is not right to kill. ”

The old woman stopped again, looked down at the row of blood dripping from the staircase to the window, and her eyes suddenly moistened, "Kill people under your feet......

"I was right."

Liu Bei turned his head and glanced out the window again, and it was a pity that he couldn't see the street from this angle. He glanced down at the layout of the alley, thinking of the general route to several other higher-built houses, and patted the old woman on the shoulder as he passed by, but he did not expect to knock her to the ground.

He didn't linger, he went downstairs, and when he went out, he put the oil lamp at the door, and looked at the hostess who was huddled aside and covered her mouth and cried, "Don't cry, let's go and report to the official after a while." Then he left.

When I walk in the dark, my mind becomes clearer.

Four years ago......

Four years ago, there was a great chaos, and the entire Shenzhou officially began to enter chaos.

Regardless of whether the old woman's son's madness is true or not, at least most people's hearts are really separated, and the hysterical words and deeds like that man have often seen in the past, it is a group of people who have really been tortured and gone crazy - De Ran may have been crazy in the first place. Yes, I was crazy for a while.

It doesn't matter, though.

If you want to marry a wife and have children, you have to set a rule. It's not a disaster for the family...... Well, this time I still have to work hard as a matter of course, and I can be regarded as finding a way back.

It didn't take long for him to turn over and enter the wall, and luckily, this family was unoccupied, and he stood on the second floor and looked a few times, and he could already see that there were many corpses lying on the street, and there were also people fighting in the middle of it, and farther away, on the edge of the street, there were several rows of cavalry holding torches and stopped.

He frowned and thought about it, and when he walked out of the courtyard, the sound of fighting sounded not far ahead.

"Emblems, weapons, techniques, and origins...... Just report one! ”

His tone was the same as his footsteps, and he moved forward, and after a few moments of the sound of the fight, the winner shouted "Who's coming!" He replied: "People from Lousang Village, Zhuo County." ”

The man's tone became cheerful in vain, and he approached quickly, saying in his mouth, "Brother is really beating around the bush, at this time, it is easy to recognize the wrong person's ......" and so on, Liu Bei pinched the double-strand sword, and his steps were calm, and after a while, the weapons collided, and the spark splashed with the withdrawal of the male sword, and the female sword was drawn, and he pushed the person who was wailing in pain out with his knees, and while moving forward, he said: "At this time, I don't go to save people, but I still run over and call my brother and brother...... It's all said that Lousang Village, can the people who come out be easy to deceive? ”

There was a distance ahead, the sound of fighting began to increase, and there were several battles on the road, on two occasions, he used the "people from Lousang Village" to distinguish between the enemy and me, and at other times, after the two sides decided the winner, someone would always attack, and he stubbornly didn't say anything except "people from Lousang Village", with two swords in hand, and the people who came over were killed to the ground without much effort.

The last time, someone fell to the ground and said in despair, "Is it a gentleman's swordsmanship...... My own brother, brother, ......", he paused, hesitated, and said coldly: "You are also worthy?" Then he turned over and jumped into a house.

Kicking the door and going upstairs, the bedroom was still occupied by the owner, and he shouted "Don't move!" I opened the window and looked at it a few times, and then noticed that across the street, more than ten zhang away from the mansion where Liu Zheng lived, there was a family with a lamp, and some people would go to the window from time to time to take a few looks.

He squinted into the distance, unable to see the face of the person over there, and could only vaguely judge the style of the clothes and the figure of the person—mostly guessing, of course.

He looked at the chaotic streets again, then at the nearby pattern, and as he turned to leave, he said, "I'll cover the door." ”

This time, he didn't go to any other residence, he adjusted his breathing in the courtyard, then cut his sleeves, fixed the double-strand sword to his hands with his hands and teeth, and then walked out of the courtyard.

The pace of the road is not fast, he tried to follow the memory to find a place with few people, met a few waves of people on the road, and began to shout the slogan of "life to protect the world, death to protect the common people and ......", he deliberately called "the sky" as "the common people", but no one pursued, at this time, most people are blind, someone shouted the slogan, and those who should be the tiger guards also shouted, and they responded to the call.

While he was killing, he listened to the voices one after another and estimated people, experience is not necessarily effective in this case, he pondered the conclusion that Liu Zheng deduced that there were about three hundred tiger guards, at a certain moment, his arm was slashed, and his body was almost knocked out, he couldn't help but breathe in, but he didn't think much about it.

Shaking the sword and turning the wrist, the blood of others moistened the palm.

Although Wang Yue's swordsmanship has been learned since Shi A was recovered by him, he actually doesn't use it too much at this time, and the two swords in the night always have an advantage, plus the experience he has trained on the battlefield in the past few years, blocking, attacking, retreating, and advancing...... Always be able to kill each other at the first time.

But at some point, after stabbing one person to death, he stopped and hid in a corner to treat the wound on his arm, and suddenly looked at the road behind him.

No, this kind of chaos, everyone will want to break the situation, and at this time they also light the lamp, not so much to observe the situation, but to deliberately expose themselves to others to attract the attention of others.

The one who will light the lamp will never be someone from Liu Zheng's side......

So......

He bandaged his wounds, thought about the pictures he had seen when he had just gone upstairs a few times, and thought of the most suitable places to observe the whole situation on the opposite side, and then stopped on the watchtower of a private house.

He squinted and lifted his sword to touch it, feeling a little far away from the noise, but his heart was calm, but his steps became slower and slower, more and more careful.

It wasn't long before he got closer and closer to the house, and he leaned forward in the darkness, and heard the whispering of conversation within the courtyard walls, so he took his double-strand sword in his bosom and craned his neck to look at the nearby houses.

Archers, archers......

He muttered a few words in his heart, judged the location, and cautiously groped towards another dwelling.

……

There was no sound inside or outside the room, and the windows were slightly open, and the sunlight pierced in, illuminating the room very brightly.

On the ground by the window, there were broken bows, toppled quivers, scattered bows and arrows, and a pile of clothes and trousers, and suddenly there was a heavy exhalation in the air, and then the window was opened.

Weapons and clothes were scattered all over the street, looking very weird, and the mansion opposite, several buildings were scorched black.

"Are the people here dead?"

A shout suddenly sounded in the silent room, and then a series of footsteps came out from the staircase, and the body of the person who was originally here trembled, turned his head and patted his plump chest and complained: "Sister Geng, you want to scare the concubine to death." ”

"Don't be afraid, not afraid. Be careful to move the tire gas. Hee-hee. ”

Geng Qiuyi trotted upstairs with her stomach up, hurried to Xun Cai, looked at a few things by the windowsill, squatted down, and checked the broken edge of the bow and arrow, "Zitai's skills are so good, this knife should be ......" She said halfway, put the bow together and looked at the break, and suddenly looked up and said: "It's not a knife, it's a sword, there are outsiders?" ”

Xun Cai helped Geng Qiuyi up, and touched Geng Qiuyi's stomach angrily, "What are you doing here?" Still running so fast. It's not been a quarter of an hour since you came along, and the smell of incense hurts your body...... My husband knows he's going to blame us. ”

As she spoke, she helped Geng Qiuyi downstairs, Geng Qiuyi rubbed her stomach, stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm worried." If we don't get it right, we'll die here. What is it to hurt your body? As long as it doesn't hurt the child, it's fine. Tell me quickly, is there a new discovery? ”

"Guess what I found?"

Going down the stairs, Xun Cai pulled Geng Qiuyi to the side of the room, and saw two long swords and a set of clothes lying on the side of the case. He drinks water here? ”

Her face tightened, and she looked at Xun Cai, "Our brother is the initiator of this matter?" ”

"Where, look at the fracture."

Geng Qiuyi was stunned when he heard this, compared the broken cut of the bow with the blade of one of the swords, and said with a strange face: "Has he changed sex?" ”

"I don't know."

Xun Cai shook his head, opened the window and looked at the watchtower not far away, his brows furrowed slightly, "However, I can conclude that he should be drinking water here to think." Moreover, what the concubine can think of is...... He did, and things might have been more difficult to do. ”

Geng Qiuyi bowed slightly, "Zitai and Yan Rou don't know if they can find out." If the two sides meet by chance and fight, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us to know who the person in charge of the watchtower is......"

"I just didn't meet it, Zitai and the two of them are not as thoughtful as Liu Xuande after all, I am afraid that they will be discovered and used by Liu Xuande, and when the time comes, the two of them will become bait to divert the tiger from the mountain, and Liu Xuande will be able to go in to see the person in charge...... Well, my sister thinks that Brother Xuande will tell me who he will meet? ”

"Looks like you'll have to find the answer from those outfits?" Geng Qiuyi pouted, walked to the window and looked in the direction of the watchtower, "Let's take a look again?" When the time comes, look for them among the officials? ”

"No, I've written it down anyway, so I'm going to meet it. Walking a few steps with my stomach up, I was exhausted. Xun Cai sat on the ground along the corner of the wall and touched his stomach gently, "You haven't said what happened to your husband." ”

Geng Qiuyi sat down next to Xun Cai and thought for a while, "I'll ride a bicycle over, probably ...... I arrived about half an hour ago. At that time, Yide's snake spear was at the door of Nayiwu Building, and there was a tear in his clothes, but judging from the gap, there was no fatal wound...... You said that if this place could show how good the people are, then it would be more thorough......"

"There's no way I'm going to go out at a time like this."

Xun Cai frowned slightly, Geng Qiuyi grinned, then looked up at the ceiling, his face narrowed slightly, "Husband's side...... There is a cut in the trouser leg, as if it has been pierced by a sword......"

Seeing Xun Cai's slight change of color, Geng Qiuyi changed his words and said, "But he is in the room, he has already bandaged it." By the way, Brother Wen Ruo and they are also there, so they are all good...... I saw that the sheets were torn into strips, and several sets of clothes were torn and joined together, and I was supposed to jump out of the window. The third floor of the Yiwu Building is two or three feet above the ground, they should only be able to go to the second floor, and there are a lot of clothes on the first floor, and there are more than hundreds of sets, where can they stay. ”

"What about the side? Can there be an ambush with archers? ”

Xun Cai asked, Geng Qiuyi suddenly blinked, "This is not important, the important thing is that I saw a woman's robe falling next to her husband's clothes, that figure...... I'm afraid that Nuxun, you couldn't compare to you when you were the thinnest a year or two ago. ”

"When is it, still laughing ......"

"No, no, no, that suit is by no means an ordinary dusty woman. I followed the room to see, and in a room on the top floor, I found a few ribbons that matched the suit, and after determining that the hostess was probably the woman next to the husband, I rummaged through it and found a bamboo slip with a hundred birds and a phoenix spear......"

Xun Cai raised his eyebrows, "Female, gun?" ”

"That's right. Still can't guess? It's someone from Luoyang, my good sister. Those two women are real foxes. And the two of us, who are going to have children, are so fat, they are all old. ”

Geng Qiuyi grabbed Xun Cai's arm, looked out the window, touched his stomach with one hand, and said with a smile: "You say...... Does this count as our own sins and we can't live? I already knew that I would stay in Zhuo County. If someone breaks in...... Ah, it's so miserable, my husband has been a woman so prosperous recently. It's Zhao Ai'er again, and it's the ripples again......"

"I don't have time to talk to you about it, I'm leaving. You stay a little longer. When I come in, the pattern here should change one more time. Let's see when the time comes. ”

Xun Cai said, waved his hand, and a dagger appeared out of thin air.

Geng Qiuyi nodded, didn't look at it, got up and walked to the window, and waved his hand as well.

With her wave of her hand, the steps rose out of thin air by the window, and then there was a wooden bridge from the window to the watchtower opposite, she stepped on the steps up, and after walking for a long time, the mansion on the opposite side of the street, several houses suddenly collapsed, and there were bridles and saddles on the street, and the most important thing was that in the courtyard next to the watchtower, Tian Chou and Yan Rou's two sets of clothes and weapons were clustered with other people's clothes.

Geng Qiuyi sighed, looked at the flying corridor that spawned from the mansion over there to the watchtower, and shouted, "Sister, Yan Rou, they are being entangled. ”

"Well, my sister is waiting for me, let's go in together."

After replying over there, Geng Qiuyi also complained, "It's really troublesome, it's not that I don't know how to keep the scene." The two women shouted to each other from afar, laughing and joking, and after they converged, they entered from the window and saw the double-strand sword lying horizontally next to the desk of the first seat, belonging to Liu Bei's clothes, and also pressing the cushion located in the first seat.

The first seat is the master's position, which clearly indicates something, the two women glanced at each other, their faces puzzled and solemn.
