Chapter 43: No Tears When You Don't See a Coffin
Seeing the backs of Xuzhu and the fifty monks disappear from sight, Hao Jian ordered the herald to blow the horns.
The desolate and distant horn suddenly woke up the sleeping horse thieves on the wall, and they stood up one by one and rubbed their eyes and looked around to see where the sound came from.
As a result, they were surprised to find a group of men and horses, all cavalry, coming from outside the valley, and slowly approaching the wall.
"Who are these people? Why did you get here? These minions on duty were at a loss, they had been accustomed to peaceful days for many years, and they had not yet developed a sense of crisis.
"Hey, who are you, hurry up and roll the calves, be careful to provoke the uncles and pick your skin." A usually arrogant and talkative minion shouted downward.
As soon as the words fell, he felt a muffled sound of "Du", and a carved arrow grazed his face and nailed it heavily to the pillar of the arrow tower behind him, pulling out a bloody mark on his face, so shocked that his mouth grew big, and he didn't dare to say a word more.
Hao Jian put down the bow in his hand, picked up a temporary loudspeaker rolled up in cowhide and shouted at the wall: "Listen to the people above, this general will lead the troops to your gourd valley, and let your big boss come out to see me." ”
Several minions on the walled wall looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and they couldn't help laughing.
Who is this buddy below, with such a little bit of people embarrassed to call themselves generals, it's just tired and crooked.
"Where did you come from, you are embarrassed to call yourself a general, if you are a general, then Lao Tzu is the emperor. Hurry up and get out, while Lao Tzu is not mad, otherwise you will be left with your life today. A one-eyed dragon horse thief shouted at the knife in his hand.
These horse thieves are not good stubble in the end, many people have human lives in their hands, killing people and goods, and doing all kinds of evil, so naturally they will not be frightened to speak because of Hao Jian's arrow.
In their opinion, Hao Jian is just talking nonsense and deliberately scaring people, but he doesn't dare to really release the arrows, otherwise he will provoke us, and all these people below will have to leave their lives.
"Damn, don't cry when you don't see the coffin, General Ben will let you know why the flowers are so red." Hao Jian scolded as he stretched out his bow and arrows, aiming at the horse thief who was shouting just now.
The horse thief didn't expect the following to be so ruthless and decisive, and he was still immersed in the coaxing and praise of the horse thieves around him, his neck was tilted, and his mouth was laughing loudly.
But before he could finish laughing, the whole person's smile froze on his face, and an arrow flew through his open mouth, and then burst out of the back of his head, and then he fell heavily on the arrow tower with a pop, his eyes wide open, and his face full of incredulity.
As soon as this horse thief died, no one dared to scream and curse anymore, and they all closed their mouths.
Soon, a whining horn sounded above the wall, which was a warning signal from the horse thief.
…………
The bald wolf, the second leader of the gourd valley, had a blue face, and the green tendons on the back of the hand holding the knife burst out, frowning and staring at the big stone gate above, at a loss.
He joined Hulu Valley halfway, and the best thing to say is to join, but to put it bluntly, he was annexed by Hai Dongqing.
And since joining Hulu Valley, Hai Dongqing has designed to get rid of him many times, if it weren't for the fact that he still has a group of loyal descendants under him, plus he himself is cautious, he must have fallen into Hai Dongqing's way.
Therefore, he has always wanted to kill Hai Dongqing, but he has never had a special opportunity, so he has been holding back until now.
Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Hai Dongqing suddenly took people out of the valley, mysterious and mysterious.
He wanted to take this opportunity to clean up Hai Dongqing's people and take control, but he didn't expect Hai Dongqing to arrange it already to prevent him, so he had to stay put.
But there is no endless road, and none of Hai Dongqing and the people he brought out came back on time, which made him realize something unusual.
Then when the three people who came yesterday came to the valley with Hai Dongqing's letter and the jade wrench finger that never left his hand, he said that he wanted 200,000 taels of silver, and he was keenly aware that this was a good opportunity to seize power.
He used the pretext that Hai Dongqing must have been killed by these people to create confusion in people's hearts, and then transferred the target of the horse thieves to the three messengers, under the pretext of avenging the big boss.
If it is successful, he can not only take the opportunity to expand his prestige, but also kill people and kill people, and in the chaos, he can also take the opportunity to eliminate some of Hai Dongqing's diehards.
He calculates really well, and his brain turns quickly, which is indeed a good opportunity to seize power.
It's a pity that he underestimated the strength of these three messengers, and as a result, he couldn't kill people, but he suffered a lot of losses.
What made him most aggrieved was that these three people actually broke into the back village and completely closed the door.
Houzhai is where all the big and small leaders of the cottage live, but it is a forbidden place in the valley.
These big and small leaders are afraid that they will have cuckolds, so they don't arrange guards inside, so there are only those women and children.
After the gate of the back village was closed, the bald wolf became angry and sent people to attack several times, but they were all beaten back.
Those three people are really powerful evil sects, not only fists and feet are powerful, but also eighteen kinds of weapons can sweep anything, the archery is even sharper, as long as you dare to take the lead, it is an arrow to shoot over, and the place where the arrow is often not the throat or the forehead, the accuracy is terrifying.
In the end, after a night of tossing, there was no progress at all, and he lost a lot of brothers, which made the vulture so angry that he almost crushed his teeth.
He is a man, so he naturally understands what men are, thinking of the appearance of the rich lady he just snatched from the outside, and he was about to cheapen others before he had time to touch it, and he couldn't say anything in his heart.
The horse thieves are capable of horses, coming and going, killing people and goods, but it is difficult for them to attack them.
And the key is that they themselves made the Houzhai building easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now they can be regarded as lifting stones to shoot themselves in the foot, so after many people died, many people began to shout that they would not do it.
After all, it's just the big and small wives of the leaders, and these ordinary minions don't have any family members in it, so naturally they are not as concerned as those leaders.
To put it bluntly, horse thieves are a group of rabble composed of blood and profit, plus a little righteousness. It's okay to say when things are going well, but once you encounter adversity, everyone can make their own little calculations.
So after tossing for a long time, no one was willing to go up and die, and the bald wolf was on fire in his heart, but there was no good way.
There are not many diehards in his hands, plus a group of Hai Dongqing's diehards who were imprisoned yesterday have to be watched, so there are even fewer available manpower under his subordinates.
After attacking in the middle of the night, almost half of the few people under his command died, and the rest of the people certainly didn't have the heart to attack again.
There was no way, he had to order a rest and make plans after dawn.
He is well aware that the longer the time drags on, the worse it will be for himself. Once the people's hearts are dissipated and rumors spread, his prestige continues to decrease, and if he wants to seize power again, he will be in a lot of trouble.
So after thinking about it all night, he finally made up his mind to wait for dawn to attack with fire!
What woman is not a woman, you can grab it again if you die, but if the opportunity is missed, it will be really troublesome.
I have to say that this guy is really a ruthless person.
But just as he was about to give the order to prepare for a fire attack, he heard the desolate sound of a trumpet from outside the valley.
When he first heard it, he was still a little dazed, wondering where the sound of the horn came from.
But a moment later he heard a clearer sound of a horn, and he suddenly woke up, this time from the guards on the wall of the valley wall.
What's the situation? Is there anyone coming to attack?
Soon, a minion stumbled over and said loudly: "Second master, it's not good, a team of people came outside, saying that the big boss should come out to meet them, and he also shot one of our brothers!" ”
The bald wolf shrugged and changed color, looked at the back village that had not been attacked for a long time, and then looked at the direction of the valley, and fell into a dilemma for a while.
