Outside the prison, the eyes of the former Zhou Mansion lieutenant who had been waiting all night were full of scarlet, and he stood on the side of the street for a long time at the moment, and the armor on his burly body had already fallen a thin layer of frost. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Not far away, is the prison of Yangqu City, and after a night of wind and snow, this gloomy place is even more terrifying.

Of course, as a person who has experienced a hundred battles, this former lieutenant has killed countless people, and he should not be afraid, but since he saw the scene last night, he has lost his previous temperament of not being afraid of heaven and earth.

Thinking back to the events of last night, he felt a chill in his back at the moment.

Last night, the general's cronies put the prisoner in the cell, but never came out, which made him very puzzled, so he took people to the prison, if there was really someone to make trouble, he didn't mind killing some people for a good pastime, saving this long night to take this errand too boring.

Who knew that before they could walk in, they saw a cold long sword flying out, and then flesh and blood flew sideways, if he hadn't run fast, I was afraid that the bones would have been cold at this time.

"General, isn't it time to do it......

The soldiers who came from the marshal's mansion next to him whispered, this captain who was originally numb in his scalp could only swallow his saliva, arranged a row of crossbowmen on both sides of the prison door, and then waved his hand, asking a short cronie next to him to take people into the prison.

The short cronie's face turned pale, he had picked up a life from the pile of dead men with the captain last night, and now this prison had become a hell in his eyes.

It's the place where human life is needed.

But the military order was like a mountain, and the short soldier could only bite the bullet, leading a team of men and horses, and walked towards the prison step by step.

"Squeak!"

The voice was crisp and piercing, and the dark red door of the prison was opened, and all the Qianzhou troops were immediately startled to take a few steps back.

"What a fuss."

The soldiers who came to deliver the message couldn't help but sneer secretly when they saw this situation, although they were curious about how Liu Xi and the others swaggered out, but the Shuai Mansion had an order to escort them to the court as soon as possible, so he didn't care about those fearful soldiers, strode forward, pointed at Liu Xi and them angrily, and said, "Bold rebels, dare to escape from prison, General Zhang help me take them down!" ”

This roar made Liu Xi frown very unhappily, and Ma Xiu and the others ignored it when they saw that he was silent.

When things came to this point, the captain naturally couldn't pretend that he didn't care about himself anymore, and with a wave of his hand, the crossbowmen and archers on the left and right instantly surrounded Liu Xi and the others.

Although there was an overwhelming advantage in the battle, the captain was very afraid in his heart.

Liu Xi didn't think about the thoughts of these people, made eye contact with the people around him, and then walked to a prisoner car.

Seeing Liu Xi like this, although the captain was extremely shocked, he was overjoyed and shouted with his soldiers, "Hurry, hurry, open the prisoner car!" ”

In this case, Ma Xiu and the others also entered the prisoner cart one by one, and the soldiers of the Shuai Mansion stepped on a tall horse and led people to escort the prisoner cart away proudly.

The back of the lieutenant was covered with sweat.

Maybe it's because of the wind and snow, noon is approaching, the whole sky is still gray, looking up at the sky, the thick dark clouds make Liu Xi can't see a trace of light.

It seemed that he hadn't seen the warm sun in days.

The long city was coming, but it was quiet all around, and only the clear sound of the prisoner's cart on the brick and stone streets could be heard.

In the bustling and noisy streets of the past, there was not even half a figure in sight.

This inevitably made Liu Xi feel slightly disappointed.

In Liu Xi's expectation, even if the indignant people did not rise up and intercept him, at least there would be people all over the city to see him off.

As far as the eye could see, it was as empty as a wilderness, and there was silence in all directions.

It's a chilly north wind.

When Liu Xi was quite disappointed, the prisoner car crossed a few streets and stopped abruptly.

Ahead, the not wide street was crowded with black figures, at the front of the line were some sturdy men, and further back, there were men and women, old and young, like beans sprinkled on the ground, dense, so that the number of people was not clear.

A simple person, without too many words, his thin body blocked the way of the Qianzhou army, and he was holding a simple hoe, fork and even kitchen knives and other iron tools in his hands.

"Bold!"

The soldiers of the Qianzhou Army Marshal's Mansion who escorted Liu Xi and the others were full of ferocity, and the leather whip in his hand suddenly threw out a whip flower in the air.

The sound was piercing, piercing through the howling cold wind.

Seeing that the people still had no intention of retreating, the soldier threw his whip on the ground, "If you don't retreat, you will be guilty of the same crime as this traitor." ”

As he spoke, he slowly drew his long sword, his face full of hideousness.

"Traitors, no mercy!"

The Qianzhou army drew their swords one after another, and it seemed that in an instant, the cold winter was a little colder.

Seeing this, although the people had prepared in their hearts, they could not help but be a little frightened, and many of them looked towards the people around them, trying to find courage from others again.

"Master Hou and I are like a mountain, since everyone has come, we are not afraid of him facing each other, and I will be a good man in twenty years!"

I don't know who said this, and suddenly the people who were scattered became as united as before, and they pointed the iron weapons in their hands at the Qianzhou army.

The movements were a little clumsy, and there was still a tremor in his eyes.

But they can treat Liu Xi like this, Liu Xi's heart is already full of emotion.

On the other hand, the soldiers who led the team seemed to have seen the funniest thing, looking at the people who refused to leave with indescribable contempt in their eyes, and then showing a bloodthirsty smile with the people left and right.

"It's really the birthday boy who hanged himself, I'm impatient, kill me!"

As soon as the word killing came out, Ma Xiu was in a hurry, "Yusheng, isn't it ......?"

It's just that before Ma Xiu finished speaking, an arrow in the distance cut through the sky, and the speed was so fast that it was like a flash of lightning, and it went straight into the throat of the soldier who spoke.

Poof!

The dead body fell to the ground, but the horse under the crotch still rushed towards the people in front of him at an unabated speed.

"Yusheng!"

This time, Lin Yi was also in a hurry, and shouted at Liu Xi, who was not moving at all in the prisoner car.

After all, it was the ordinary people who were powerless to rush at the loose horses.

But Liu Xi still stood quietly in the prisoner cart as if he hadn't heard it, but with one hand he pinched out the soldier's sword trick.

It's not that Liu Xi is not in a hurry, but at the moment it is really inconvenient for him to shoot, and the arrow just now is made of three-inch dark iron, which can only be used by the crossbow equipped by Liu Xi's personal guard Huyan Qingshi and others.

Therefore, Liu Xi forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and he believed that Huyan Qingshi could solve the matter.

If not, make another decision.

The palm of the hand holding the sword trick has unconsciously formed a fine sweat.

Just as the horse was about to crash into the crowd, a figure pierced out, and as he plunged, he punched the horse in the back.

"Bang!"

With a dull sound, the black horse fell to its knees, blood streaming from its front legs, and screaming in grief.

The figure of the person who knocked down the dark horse was a little stocky, obviously not Huyan Qingshi, because he couldn't see his face clearly, Liu Xi could only vaguely guess that this was Wang Lei, the fifth of the thirteen.

This son's strength is very comparable, so he can knock down the dark horse with one punch.

At this moment, Huyan Qingshi led the rest of the people to pour out from the street across their horses, and after firing a crossbow arrow, they drew their respective swords, guns, sticks and other weapons.

In the blink of an eye, the Qianzhou army that escorted Liu Xi and them was killed.

"Dangchang!"

Huyan Qingshi jumped onto the prisoner cart and cut off the chain of Liu Xi's prisoner cart with a sword, "Master Hou, the escort of his subordinates is late, is Master Hou injured?" ”

Shaking his hand with Huyan Qingshi, Liu Xi asked directly, "Can the enemy be captured?" ”

Hearing this, Huyan Qingshi hurriedly stepped forward and lowered his voice, "I have captured him according to Master Hou's orders." ”

Following the direction of Huyan Qingshi's finger, Liu Xi saw a short and fat man with five flowers tied up and stuffed things in his mouth hidden in the alley on the side.

So much better.

Liu looked in the direction of the city gate, deep in the thick clouds, very quiet, as if the soldiers outside the city had not yet been killed.

I wonder if it's going well on the Scouts' side?

Now that the arrow is on the string, there is naturally no turning back, Liu Xi glanced at the people not far away, maybe the scene just now was too bloody, and those people who were impassioned looked more frightened.

After all, this is a real killing of the soldiers of the imperial court.

I had to cut off their thoughts even further.

Liu Xi strode forward and bent over with everyone, "Liu Xi thanks you for your love and kindness, at this time of crisis, in order to ensure that Liu Xi is thoughtful and all the villagers can ignore their own lives, Liu Xi thanked him again." ”

After that, Liu Xi made another move.

"Since Liu Xi became an official in the court, he has kept the kindness of the court in his heart, regarded the villagers as his closest relatives, and did not dare to have the slightest slack and playful heart, but he did not want to end up in this difficulty, and he also affected the villagers into this dangerous situation, and he was really ashamed."

Bending over, Liu Xi made a third move.

There was a chaotic sound of disapproval from the crowd, and there were even more people with strong blood, waving their arms with red faces, and shouting loudly, "The little marquis is dedicated to the people, and he can be described as a good official who has not been met in a hundred years. ”

"If this court is loyal and treacherous, and disregards the life and death of us frontier people, then what else do we want this court to do!"

A loud voice came from the crowd, which immediately quieted the already boiling crowd and turned their heads to look at it.

It was Hanajiro who spoke.

Hua Erlang developed firearms in the deep mountains, so he was not caught by the Qianzhou army, and when he went down the mountain today, he heard that something big happened in the city, and when he hurried to come, he happened to see Liu Xi in the fight with everyone, Hua Erlang couldn't help but be angry, Yangqu City was originally a remote city, if it wasn't for Liu Xi's doing, I am afraid that it would have been destroyed at the feet of the Huns, where can there be people living and working in peace and contentment.

But this court wants to kill heroes and good generals, and it is so mediocre, so what else does this court do!

In a fit of anger, Hua Erlang shouted out what he had just said, and when he noticed that everyone was looking at him, Hua Erlang stepped out of the crowd, "Everyone, I, Hua Erlang, am not a person who commits trouble, but will the current court care about you and me?" At the beginning, we couldn't eat, we were hungry, we couldn't wear warm clothes, and we shivered from the cold, but the court never asked. When the Huns came, we looked forward to the arrival of the imperial army, but we never waited for a single soldier, and finally watched our relatives die in our arms! ”

It seemed that he remembered the old man who had passed away, Hua Erlang's face was a little sad, and it took a while to ease his expression, and he bowed down to Liu Xi very respectfully.

"Fortunately, God has eyes and sent the little marquis to us, if it weren't for this, you and I would have already become a pile of white bones in this barren mountain and wilderness. And now the imperial court has killed the little marquis on trumped-up charges, maybe you are more concerned about the court's behavior is difficult to convince the public, you are coming with gratitude to the little marquis, but what I think is that if the little marquis loses his life, there will be another Chen Mogu, can you and I continue to live! ”

Chen Mogu, these three words made the faces of the surrounding people immediately avoid resentment, it was this mermaid and flesh people, who separated many wives and families, although he had been killed by Liu Xi, but thinking of him, there were still many people who wanted to drink his blood and eat his flesh.

Hua Erlang's appearance surprised Liu Xi a little, his words were sonorous and powerful, but they were not enough to make everyone abandon the imperial court that was regarded as inviolable for the rest of their lives.

But at least, a lot of people are starting to waver.

It's a good sign.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance came from the mountains, and Huyan Qingshi, who went to check the situation, hurried over with a worried face, "Master Hou, a large number of Qianzhou troops are here." ”

As soon as Huyan Qingshi's words fell, he heard someone roaring in the distance, "Rebellious ministers and thieves, no one will be left!" ”
