Chapter 53: I'll Go to Hell
Although Xu Dali has no culture, he is a person who earns a living by his strength, but he is not reckless, and he has followed him to the north and south over the years, and he has also seen the world.
I've always had some worries, but it's hard to say clearly, and I really can't do it to kick this group out. Although the years have worn out the edges and corners, although all the mind and body are concerned about the goods, there is still a power in the bottom of the heart, judging right and wrong, and supporting their words and deeds.
Maybe it was a kind of luck psychological support, and Xu Dali's sudden panic was like a bad preview, which made Xu Shuo's heart tighten.
"Master, it's no good, the officers and soldiers have surrounded us here!"
The sentence of vigorous is like taking away the support, and the luck was declared bankrupt and collapsed, and Xu Shuo suddenly collapsed on the Taishi chair. Businessmen are seeking money, and in the past, they have been carefully dealing with the magnates of the Zi clan, a little hard and unwilling, but it has been smooth. Now, a sudden event has caused a catastrophe!
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Xu Dali helped Xu Shuo up, Xu Shuo also recovered, he withstood the impact of this moment, stood up with the strong support, and saw that the others had already followed Liu Tong to run out, so he pointed ahead, let Dali help a few steps, and also trotted away.
The moment he pushed the door vigorously, Liu Tong saw the fire reflected in the air through the space opened by the door panel, and also saw the looming moon, scattering a glimmer of light to the world, this is a refreshing and cool night after autumn.
Glancing at Xu Shuo, seeing that his whole body was weak, his eyes were full of loneliness and a sudden fear, Liu Tong also realized that things were not so simple, and it was difficult to deal with people.
Standing in the courtyard, through the fence through the aisle next to the south stable, through the front row of houses, you can see soldiers and officials with torches in one hand and spears or knives in the other.
"How's that going? How to get it! Xu Shuo chased after him, stood beside Liu Tong and looked at the soldiers and officials on the south side of the courtyard, and then looked at the bright light from the roof in other directions, his hand trembled slightly, and he pushed away Xu Dali, who was going to come over to support him.
"Let's go, go to the door and have a look."
As soon as Liu's voice fell, Xu Shuo just pushed Xu Dali's hand away, and Xu Dali trotted to open the back door of the front row of houses, lead the way in front, walk through the house, and open the front door.
Xu Shuo pushed away Xu Dali in front of him and looked out, stunned on the spot. I saw Xu Zhen, who was dressed in armor, and Dong Sanlin, who was dressed in a black satin brocade robe, riding on horses. The wooden gate of the fence has been torn down, and a team of men and horses along the fence has blocked the water around the warehouse.
Wu Ji, Liu Si, and Luo Tie picked up their weapons and went out sideways, and came to the front yard to take a stand. Seeing this, Liu Tong was about to go out, when he saw the red carp with Dong Xiaonan following behind.
"Don't go out."
Liu Tong said to the red carp and gestured with his eyes. The red carp knew what Liu Tong meant, so he pulled Dong Xiaonan to hide behind the door and came out to watch.
Liu Tong walked to the front yard, and Wu Ji and the others gave up a position to protect Liu Tong.
"Uncle Zhen, Third Master Dong, what's wrong?" Xu Shuo clenched his fists and kept rushing to the door, and also came to the front. As soon as he spoke, the soldiers outside aimed their spears, knives and crossbows in their hands, and Xu Shuo's scalp suddenly became numb and he didn't dare to say anything.
"You're the shopkeeper of the Thoroughfare?"
The military general wearing armor and surrounded by several horsemen pointed his big sword at Xu Shuo and asked.
"It's the villain Xu Shuo." Xu Shuo made a move again.
"Uncle, it's them!"
"The third master is them!"
At this time, several people dressed in the front of the horse and the steward of Xinglou pointed at Liu Tong and the others and shouted.
"Xu Shuo, what are you doing in collusion with bandits and robbers to come to my Zi clan to do evil?" The military general is of medium stature, but he is a little cold, and there is an undoubted majesty in questioning.
"Uncle Zhen misunderstood, they are passing merchants, just coming to spend the night, Xu didn't know each other before."
"Since I don't know you well, then ask them to come out and go back with us to find out the reason, and I won't embarrass you."
Wu Ji saw that the military general said politely, but he thought that he was too rude to Liu Tong, how could the dignified marquis be brought by you when you said to bring it for questioning, and this posture does not seem to be a good question.
"You are waiting for the skin, which ** leaked out, and you dare to be so ashamed." With that, he sent the big knife forward and pointed it at Xu Zhen.
Liu Tong was also provoked by Wu Ji, and his plan was simple, and Wu Ji provoked Xu Zhen to come over to fight, and he grabbed him and a few leaders to get out.
But seeing Xu Zhen suddenly put the big knife in his hand, he took a few steps back, and the left and right crossbowmen suddenly squeezed into the open space at the gate of the fence, Xu Zhen immediately raised his left hand and waved it forward.
Liu Tong secretly screamed that it was not good, and these few simple actions were only a few seconds.
I saw more than a dozen arrows shooting flat, this distance is too close, this arrow is extremely lethal!
Just when Xu Zhen waved his hand and a contemptuous smile hung on the corner of his mouth, Liu Tong shouted: "Go back to the house!" ”
Liu Si and Wu Ji have been in battle for a long time, and Luo Tie has studied under Wang Yue, who is already agile and fast, and they have waved their weapons to protect Xu Shuo, Xu Dali and Liu Tong in retreat.
Just a few steps back, suddenly heard a woman's scream, Liu Tong's heart tightened, Wu Ji panicked, both of them knew that this was not injured by the red carp, thinking that Dong Xiaonan was injured, turned his head to look, but found that Xu Dali's sister had just taken half a step out of the door, and was shot in the thigh by a crossbow, leaning around, and fell outside the door.
But it was said that Xu Dali's sister Xu Lian was working in the kitchen in the backyard, and found that there was a bright light inside and outside the yard, and saw that the people in the hall were gone, so she came to the front room, and saw the red carp and Dong Xiaonan looking out of the door, so she stepped out of the door to see what was going on.
Xu Dali shouted and threw himself at his sister, but Wu Ji grabbed him and pulled away the bow and crossbow flying in front of him.
The red carp was quick in his eyes, his figure flashed, he came to the other side of the door, pulled the door frame with his left hand, grabbed Xu Lian's arm with his right hand, and dragged her into the door.
As soon as everyone entered the door, Liu Si closed the door and hugged his sister vigorously, while Xu Lian kept crying.
Liu Si pushed Xu Dali, "Go find some cloth." As he spoke, he took out a bottle of military-made medicine from his arms, and prepared to help her pull out the crossbow arrow and treat her wounds.
said that Xu Zhen had planned to lead troops to attack him, but this time he changed his attention. Although he hadn't fought much, he had clearly seen the skills of a few people just now, and at such a short distance, such a powerful crossbow arrow could not hurt the slightest, and he asked himself that he was far from being able to do it.
"Listen to the people inside! If we don't come out and be caught, we will set fire to the house! ”
When Xu Shuo heard this, he immediately collapsed to the ground, and his mouth was confused, "This is it, how can this be done...... mixed with Xu Lian's crying and howling, which made Liu Tong bored.
If you do set fires, this season, coupled with the fact that most of these houses are made of wood, and there are piles of goods everywhere inside and outside the houses, this piece can be burned to ashes in an instant.
Liu Tong opened half of the door, Wu Ji saw that he wanted to block in front of him, Liu Tong pushed Wu Ji away, waved his chin, signaled Wu Ji to retreat, and stood up himself.
"I'm not a bandit, why should we be embarrassed?" Liu Tong was full of anger and shouted quite mightily.
"Since you are not a bandit and a rogue robber, why should you be afraid of the government, wouldn't it be appropriate to go back with me and ask what happened?" Xu Zhen said coldly.
"Why should the eldest brother talk to him!" The man in the black satin brocade robe with a Chinese face and abrupt eyes said, and then beat the horse into the courtyard gate a few steps, and threw the torch in his hand on the pile of wood at the corner of the fence on the left, which was a pile of fine wooden poles, which were used to fix the goods.
It rained a few days ago, and the wooden pole was not easy to ignite, but the torch fell on it and burned spontaneously, which was a little scary. Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers raised their torches and pulled their arms back, ready to throw.
Xu Shuo had already crawled over from the ground at this time, saw this scene through the crack in the door, and immediately cried: "It's over, it's over, it's all over my life......
Liu Tong didn't want to drag down others, especially those who were kind to him or had helped, Xu Shuo was just a law-abiding businessman, and he couldn't drag him down.
I regret a little, I shouldn't have come here, coming here is tantamount to finding a rope for myself to tie my hands and feet, if it wasn't here, these people wouldn't be able to stop themselves.
But if you break out, this warehouse will be turned to ashes in an instant, and the kind-hearted Xu Shuo and Xu Dali sisters and brothers may also be killed.
Hey, I don't go to hell, who does!
Liu Tong pushed the two doors open completely.
"I'll go with you, but there is one condition, you must not be embarrassed by the people in this warehouse!"
"Childe!"
"Childe!"
……
Wu Ji and Liu Si chased them out one after another.
