Chapter 9: Softening
The screaming sound of the arrow rising into the air could be heard clearly within a radius of several hundred steps, and Wei Chiyao was naturally no exception, he looked up with the guards he brought, which was the heart of Xinfuzhou.
Something happened!
This was everyone's first reaction, and the guard sergeant immediately dispersed, surrounding him and the other while on guard.
Wei Chiyao instructed without looking back: "Take the princess and leave quickly." ”
Wearing an ill-fitting guard armor and riding on a short horse, Garo pouted uncontrollably: "Uncle, you are too timid, and you are not here for us." ”
"When it comes at us, it's too late."
Wei Chiyao couldn't help but wave, two people stepped forward, led her horse, and retreated, Jia Luo had never seen it, such a serious and unsmiling uncle, which was very different from her usual impression, actually made her feel a little afraid.
Under the unclear situation, they could only gather outside, and the reason why Yu Chiyao did not retreat was to wait for his people to come back, if this person never appeared, it means that what happened inside was related to their arrival.
Therefore, he had to think one more layer and let Garo leave first.
His group of men and horses were in the opposite position to Yang Yu and the others, at the two exits of Xinfu Prefecture, so they could not see what was happening on the other side of the state, and could only watch from a distance the Beiting cavalry in the state, slowly assembling.
Wei Chiyao is ready to flee, no matter what the Tang people think, if the gentleman does not stand under the wall, there is no way out, this is the advice of the king's brother before leaving, in fact, it is also his code of conduct.
Just as most of the cavalry had already mounted their horses, and nearly two thousand people had packed the entire bazaar, the man he was waiting for finally came out of it, and the first words of the other man made him almost fall off his mount in shock.
"Oh no, the Tang army is attacking, they have captured the commander of the cavalry, and it seems that they are about to fight."
"Do you see clearly? It was the Tang people who came to fight the Tang people. ”
Wei Chiyao couldn't understand what he was saying, and the people who came had to explain again and again that the cavalry in the bazaar was on guard against the enemy, and it was a large group of people and horses coming from the other direction, and there were a lot of them, and the banner was also Tang, but it was not Beiting.
"The town army has returned to the division?"
Wei Chiyao instinctively didn't believe it, if the Khotanese army and this cavalry army were less than a day's away, then the latter would definitely not dare to act like this, because it would be looking for death!
Yang He looked at Mimi with a harmless face, but he was afraid of him, Wei Chiyao was still above his brother, even if he was facing Brother Shuhan, he could laugh and laugh, but what this old man was thinking in his heart, only God knows.
But on the other hand, if Yang He really arrived, how likely would it be to lead the troops to kill the generals directly so unscrupulously? No, not at all like his style.
Wei Chiyao was a little messy, and even more curious, if it wasn't for Yang and the old man, who would be so bold? You must know that once there is a real conflict, things will be big, and there will be a fierce fight between the two Tang armies, which is something that has never been heard of since the founding of the country.
This kind of thing happened, which suddenly aroused Wei Chiyao's curiosity, and inexplicably the shadow of a young man appeared in him.
If it were him, I'm afraid he would do it.
The big mansion in the middle of the state, the "knocking" of the door is getting louder and louder, and the sergeants outside are already looking for ladders, hitting wood, etc., and their time is running out.
Liu Ji's horizontal knife was still on Wang Weiliang's neck, the latter had an arrow in his thigh, and the blood did not stop, he pressed the wound with his hand, stared down at the ground, and fine sweat particles appeared on his forehead, but he didn't even hum.
"Xu stick, go and carry the corpse inside."
Xu Guangjing was staring at the door nervously, and when he heard this, he hurriedly pulled out his feet and ran, quickly carrying the dead military academy from the big house on his shoulder, and came to him again in a blink of an eye.
"Lord, what do you want it to do?"
"Throw it out." Liu Ji said coldly.
Xu Guangjing walked to the gate without hesitation, grabbed both ends of the corpse with both hands, squatted down, and then suddenly got up and exerted his strength, throwing the corpse of nearly 200 catties over the wall, I don't know how many people were hit, only to hear an exclamation outside, and the continuous sound of slamming the door was interrupted.
"It's Brigade Marshal Qin!"
Obviously, the people outside couldn't have imagined that this group of bandits, who had kidnapped almost all the generals, would actually start killing people, how dare they?
Taking advantage of the noise outside gradually stopped, Liu Ji asked Xu Guangjing to shout outside, in order to further dispel their idea of attacking, otherwise the people here alone would not be able to stop them from rushing in, and at that time, even if everyone here was slaughtered, the situation would only get worse and worse.
"Brothers outside, listen, your Shangguan is all in our hands, please don't be reckless, let alone force us to kill, this time it's just a warning, next time, you will get one ear, one hand, and one leg from your Wang Jun's envoy, until you get your whole body together and bring it back to your Zhongcheng, okay?"
Under the leaderless group of dragons, those sergeants did not dare to step forward and knock on the door, Liu Ji and the others breathed a sigh of relief and once again focused their attention on the people inside.
"Wang Weiliang, if your injuries are not bandaged and medicated in time, you should know what the consequences are, I want you to die, I don't need to do it at all, you don't want your own life, even the lives of so many subordinates, is it not the same thing?"
I don't know if it's because of excessive blood loss or because of the gloom of the future, Wang Weiliang's face gradually turned pale, he glanced back at the subordinates and soldiers all over the courtyard, everyone was looking at him with eager eyes, it was obvious that this group of people had plans to burn jade, and they really wanted to pay for their lives here? Then there will be no more chance for revenge.
"What are you doing?"
He finally sighed, and his attitude softened.
Liu Ji said with an unchanged face: "I told you before, let all your people put down their weapons and accept the care of the army from outside, and hand over the rest of the affairs to the military law, is it so fair?" ”
"Where's the military law?" Wang Weiliang asked rhetorically.
"Naturally, it's not Beiting, so many people, such a long way, you are willing and I will not do it, in Khotan Town, let the town guard mansion and the governor's mansion deal with it together, it is not bullying you, right?"
Wang Weiliang's face was a little cloudy, the matter could be big or small, all of them would be dealt with by the local people, and he would be charged with a crime that aroused the anger of the people, that is, he would have to kill his head, because no one would speak for them at all, looking at the young man in front of him, he had already come to his lips, and hesitated.
