Chapter VII: Charges

The domestic architecture of Khotan, influenced by many external factors, has a bit of the shadow of the Han system, the main house is very large, the wings on both sides are much smaller, and the three rooms are arranged in a row in turn, so that the space in the courtyard is not large, and it is divided into several passages.

Liu Ji divided his subordinates into two groups, Xu Guangjing took four people to take charge of the left, and he took the remaining four people to sneak towards the wings from the other direction, and used the rope he carried with him to firmly tie the door from the outside, and at the same time locked the courtyard door, isolating the internal and external contact.

After doing all this, they gathered together again, and there was no need to hide at this time, Liu Ji took the lead and drew his horizontal knife, and stood on both sides of the big room with Xu Guangjing, except for them and the two sergeants behind them, the rest of the six people were all armed with winding crossbows.

He put his ear to the door of the big room, and listened to the movement inside, the sound was very loud, the sound of pushing cups and changing lamps, laughing one after another, and occasionally there was a woman's low cry, there should be more than one person inside.

"After breaking the door, kill in, subdue everyone, if there are recalcitrant ones, shoot them, Wang Weiliang will hand them over to me, Lao Xu, and the rest will be handed over to you."

Xu Guangjing and the others nodded silently, when things came to this point, it was up to them whether to do it or not, it had become a life-and-death battle, and there was no room for hesitation.

After speaking, Liu Ji and Xu Guangjing made a look, the two of them each took a step back, and then suddenly jumped up, and hit the door with their bodies, and under the force, the door was slammed open, and all the people inside were stunned.

Liu Ji and the others rushed in, he carried a knife and went straight to the chairman, Wang Weiliang was holding a woman in disheveled clothes, and was putting his hands up and down, and suddenly saw him rushing in, and his eyes suddenly widened.

There were five or six people sitting in the room, all of them his cronies and generals in the army, and everyone was like him, taking off their clothes and armor, and while hugging the women beside him, they were munching heavily, and when they heard the movement, they all turned their heads and watched these uninvited guests rush in, and pointed their knives and crossbow arrows at them.

His appearance was already remembered by these people in Hu Xuan Town, and when he saw it suddenly, he thought he was dazzled, and when he opened his mouth, the other party had already crossed the table and bullied him closer.

"Death to the trespasser!"

Liu Ji shouted, a military academy wanted to touch his knife, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was nailed to his shoulder by a crossbow arrow, which made him scream in pain, so that everyone knew that the other party was really here, and he didn't dare to move anymore.

"You are so bold!"

Wang Weiliang reacted very quickly, dragged the woman in front of him, and at the same time reached out and grabbed the horizontal knife resting at his feet and put it on the woman's neck.

"There are people outside, if you dare to move so-and-so, no one can escape."

Liu Ji stopped and looked at him coldly: "Give you two choices, let her go, fight with me, if you win, I'll give you your life, if you lose, do what I say obediently." ”

"What do you want so-and-so to do?"

"Conniving at the sergeants to run amok and lawless, robbing good families and driving out the people, one by one, they all recognize it and wait for the disposal of the imperial court."

Liu Ji's words made his face sink: "It's up to you?" Lao Tzu just borrowed their house to live for a night, that is, to sue the capital to protect the house, this crime Lao Tzu can still afford, you commit the next crime, sneak attack on friendly troops, hurt colleagues, it is much more troublesome than a certain family. ”

"Well said."

Liu Ji laughed, and suddenly his wrist flicked, and a white light lit up in the room, and with a "bang", it slashed straight at the head of the military academy who had just been hit by the arrow, and a blood mark appeared from between his eyebrows, and the whole person fell to the ground without snorting, and all the people in the room were stunned, even his subordinates didn't expect that their own military master would kill him when he said to kill.

"But you said it was bad, I didn't hurt him, but killed him, since your military envoy refused to do what I said, then no wonder Lao Tzu's men were ruthless."

"Kill all of you and kill him again, Lao Tzu can still afford this crime!" Liu Ji held up the blood-dripping horizontal knife, pointed at Wang Weiliang and the military academies, and said word by word.

There was a deathly silence in the room, and the rest of the military academy were too frightened to move, while the women were stunned, Xu Guangjing and two sergeants with knives pulled them out one by one and gathered them together to prevent someone from using them to block the knives.

Wang Weiliang never expected that he would really dare to kill someone, you must know that the dead military academy was a brigade commander in the Han Navy, and his position was higher than that of the murderer, and the other party was simply crazy.

Suddenly, he felt a burst of fear, if there were no dead people, at most they would be punished according to military law, and they would only be beaten with dozens of sticks, because after all, they still had a name for returning to the division, but now that there were dead people, things would be in trouble, and he didn't know how to end up next.

"Envoy!"

Before he could figure out how all this happened, the rest of the military academies were held by Xu Guangjing and others with knives on their bodies, and they had to plead with him.

"Are you stupid, he won't keep his mouth alive, he'll kill you all." Wang Weiliang's whole body was trembling, and the hand holding the horizontal knife kept moving, so frightened that the woman he grabbed was desperately retreating.

"Kill you all? What's in it for me, I said it, as long as you do what I say, you can all survive, just eat a few sticks, no one wants to fight for it, right? ”

The goal of intimidation has been achieved, Liu Ji began to use them to put pressure on Wang Weiliang, he did not want to kill these people, but to use them to subdue the two thousand cavalry outside, otherwise, once these people are all dead, the cavalry outside will lose their restraint and become a complete disaster.

But in this case, Wang Weiliang didn't believe that he could still let him go, and the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while, just when Liu Ji was about to make further moves, the woman who was caught by Wang Weiliang suddenly winked at him.

Liu Ji immediately stepped forward and shouted: "I repeat, either fight me, or throw down the knife and hide behind a woman, what's the point?" ”

Wang Weiliang was startled, his hand unconsciously let go a little, and the woman made a frightened look, and suddenly shrank down, revealing the body behind her.

Liu Ji had already moved when she blinked, and when Wang Weiliang reacted, the knife light had already arrived in front of him, and he had to withdraw and retreat, and at the same time let go of the woman in his hand.

"Suffer death."

Liu Ji swung his knife straight in, forcing him to retreat again and again, and the woman who was freed got up and ran to the other end of the house.

Wang Weiliang was forced into a corner, but he aroused his blood, and fought with him with a knife, as the deputy envoy of the first army, the former was not in vain, and Liu Ji did not take him down for a while, and at this moment, there was a lot of movement outside the house.

"Envoy! Envoy, someone from Khotan has come and asked to see you. ”
