CHAPTER XXI
Master Wen angrily paced around the study several times, and at this moment he was still angry that the cook had bought the stuff of the pirates in Oriental Harbor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This group of pirates didn't care about coming out for those mud legs, and it didn't matter if they sold those expensive exquisite things, but they didn't even say a word and took their interests in Yancun, and they didn't even contact themselves, and they didn't take Wen Xinyi seriously at all. Although he is not one of An Yun's top ten outstanding tyrants, he is also one of the most famous local tyrants of An Yun, even if these pirates want Yancun, just say it, and even send people to fight with their own people, which is simply disrespectful.
Thinking of this, he angrily raised the teacup on the table and slammed it to the ground, and the maid hurriedly came over to pick up the pieces with his hands, but Wen Xinyi stepped on the maid's small hand, making the maid scream. "Get out of here, don't take it!" He yelled loudly, and the maid cried and ran out while holding her hands that were still dripping blood.
Wen Xinyi looked at the sound of the maid running out in a hurry, and shook his head, he remembered Ah Fen, the maid who had served him for so many years now didn't know how to be tortured by those pirates. He turned his head, looked left and right for a while, but didn't find the head of the family who was usually waiting under the corridor, and then suddenly remembered that he had opened the head of the Zhou sect in anger just now. This week's first month was three taels of silver, and it was opened by himself in less than a month, and he was given a month's salary, which is really a big loss when I think about it now. Now I don't know if Zhou Jiaotou is gone, he hurriedly called twice, but he didn't see the family who should be waiting under the corridor come in, and when he walked out of the door, he saw that the family members in the nursing home didn't know where they went.
He shouted several times under the porch, but no one responded at all, so he couldn't help but paced directly to the patio, where a few housekeepers were whispering, and at this time, he saw Wen Xinyi coming over and hurriedly closed his voice.
"Where have all the people gone?" Wen Xinyi asked at these families.
"Back to the master," a small leader hurriedly said to Master Wen, "I don't know why, a few of the family members are gone today, and even the Xiangyong standing guard at the door is gone. ”
"How so?" Wen Xinyi was a little stunned, "The family is gone?" "Jiading is his private slave, Xiangyong is also his private soldier in Zhuangzi, without his order, these people can be killed on the spot if they flee without permission, but at this time it is gone, and there are several left, this mountain rain is about to come when the wind is full of buildings to run so many families is not a good thing, if other Xiangyong Jiading also follow the example, this Wenjiazhuang must not even be able to find a person who guards Zhuangzi?
"Who is in charge of the defense of Honjo now?" Wen Xinyi hurriedly asked.
The little leader thought for a while, "Master Hui, it was originally Zhou Jiaotou who was responsible, but at this time, Zhou Jiaotou had already left Zhuangzi, and it should be under the jurisdiction of Zeng Erniu Zeng's eldest brother." ”
"Then go and call Zeng Erniu for me." Before Wen Xinyi's words fell, there was a noise outside the courtyard where he listened, and for a while people came and went, panicked cries came and went, probably someone also knocked over the stall of a hawker at the door, and heard a few hawkers crying.
"What happened? Why is it so noisy? "Master Wen's heart is beating a drum, he was in a good mood after he got up in the morning and had that sweet dream, but he was upset by the cook who used pirate MSG, and he was even more angry at this time.
The little boss didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly planned to instruct a family member to go out to see. But he didn't need to worry about it, because at this moment, someone outside was already shouting, "Pirates are surrounding the stockade!" ”
Everyone's hearts were chuckling, especially Wen Xinyi, his face, which was originally red from anger, suddenly turned pale, how did this pirate come so quickly? Didn't you hear Zhou Botong say that yesterday this group of pirates was still setting off firecrackers in a noisy manner? Why did it take only an hour after breakfast for these pirates to arrive outside the stockade? Could it be that these pirates are all gods?
He hurriedly shouted at the little boss in front of him: "You quickly send someone to the Qianhu in the west of the city to invite Ruan Qianhu, just say that the pirates are surrounding the village, and you want to ask him to come and rescue him. ”
The little leader said a few words to the henchman next to him, and the henchman nodded and led away.
"You come with me, I'll wait and take a look at these pirates, if you don't have siege equipment, don't think about taking down my Wenjiazhai!" Wen Xinyi eased his breath, his face became a little ruddy, and with a wave of his hand, he walked out of the courtyard gate with these family members.
There were few people on the street outside the courtyard gate, and the village was not large, and he could see at a glance that the crowd was crowded on the east wall, looking out, and he could only hear many people crying. He hurriedly hurried directly to the wall, and the crowd made way under the push of the family, so that Wen Xinyi finally got on the wall, he looked out, it turned out that many farmers who went out to farm in the morning were locked outside the gate of the village at this time, and the relatives on the wall were crying to let the villagers who closed the door open the gate and let the farmers in.
"Absolutely not! At this time, the pirates are already arrayed in the east, what if the pirates take advantage of the situation to break in when the gate of the wall is wide open? A man brandished a weapon in his hand to block those who tried to rush over and open the gate.
"Put it in!" Wen Xinyi shouted, "Open the door!" ”
The family couldn't help but look up and saw that it was actually Master Wen, and hurriedly pushed away the crowded people, and just wanted to speak, he was slapped twice by Wen Xinyi, and shook it several times before he stopped.
"The people at the door are all good citizens of my Wenjiazhai, don't let them in at this time, will you wait for the pirates to rush up and kill them all? Are you blind? Didn't you see that the pirates were still arrayed five hundred paces away at this time? ”
The gate of the village was slowly pushed open, and the peasants outside the village rushed into the village, and then the villagers hurriedly closed the door again. Wen Xinyi always stood on the wall and looked at the group of pirates in the distance.
Whether it was a pirate or a mob, he had seen a lot, but at this time, the group of pirates in front of him was completely different from the pirates he had seen, they were not in a hurry to surround the village, nor were they preparing the tools for attacking the city, and they didn't see the ladder hitting the wood or anything, but they vaguely glimpsed a strange cart behind the pirates, and there were two thick iron pipes, which seemed to be artillery. However, as far as he knew, at this time, only the nine-section cannon could hit a thousand paces away, but that kind of cannon weighed more than a thousand catties, and four or five cows and horses could not drag it, and it was definitely not comparable to the iron pipe that can be seen now.
The pirates were shouting some kind of password, and he could see two different types of pirates, some in dark blue and others in light blue. There are about two hundred pirates in dark blue clothes, and less than a hundred in light blue. There was only a burst of commands, and the pirates in light blue turned to the left neatly, and then strode neatly towards the south.
Immediately after that, the dark blue pirates sounded a dense drum beat, and then there was a flute of music, and I saw the dark blue pirates begin to approach the wall with neat steps.
Wen Xinyi's heart was suddenly raised, this is about to attack the city? Although he has experienced how many times he has been besieged, but the people who besieged the village have never really attacked, at this time he also saw a large number of people wearing all kinds of clothes in the distance, some holding spears, some holding sticks, and more are unarmed, and the people are just watching from a distance. This immediately refreshed his concept, didn't the pirates and mobs let the captured civilians be cannon fodder at the front when they attacked the city, and only after the defenders' arrows and ammunition were consumed did they start to let the real people attack? So why are these ordinary people still behind them?
"Master, He Xiaosan is ready to go to the Thousand Households for help." Someone on the side reported to Master Wen.
Wen Xinyi turned his head and saw a thin man stuffing a bag of silver into his arms. He hurriedly shouted: "He Xiaosan, don't go from the east and south, at this time the pirates are still going south, you go to the west, go down the wall from there, and then sneak away from the dense forest." ”
He Xiaosan nodded hurriedly, Wen Xinyi was not at ease, so he followed him to the west, and saw that a few villagers had prepared the ropes for the wall of the village, and nodded to He Xiaosan. I saw He Xiaosan sliding down the rope very quickly, and then ran towards the dense forest in the distance on the ridge. Wen Xinyi twisted his beard and smiled: "This He Xiaosan is light and a good seedling, when he invites rescuers this time, he will reward him......"
"Bang", there was a sound of birds in the dense forest in the distance, which was different from the firearms of the Wu Dynasty, although everyone looked at the dense forest, no one found the fire when the bird guns were fired, let alone saw the gunsmoke. However, this shot really hit He Xiaosan, who was striding forward.
He Xiaosan fell headlong into the paddy field without even saying a word, and the silver in his arms also fell to the ground under the action of inertia.
All the spectators gasped, when did the pirates hide their strange soldiers in that dense forest? How many? How elite is it? Geometry of birds? They didn't know at all, but one thing was for sure, these pirates' strange soldiers were really powerful, and He Xiaosan was at least a mile and a half away from the dense forest just now, but he became an unjust soul under this shot.
Beiwei withdrew the bullet casing from the M24 sniper rifle, turned off the bolt again, and Yang Muqin on the side lay on the side with a telescope and carefully stared at the unlucky guy lying in the paddy field in the distance, and said: "Target kill." ”
Beiwei put his eyes in front of the scope and looked at it again, "You said that if you see Wen Xinyi kill him with one shot now, can we deal with this Wenjiazhuang directly?" ”
"Maybe it will work, but doesn't the Executive Committee have an order to capture him alive as much as possible? If you kill him now, wouldn't it be a violation of the Senate's orders? Not okay? Saying that, Yang Muqin swept the stunned natives on the wall with a telescope. I saw Wen Xinyi, six hundred and fifty meters away, the sixth one on the right of the flagpole on the city wall, the one wearing a gray robe. ”
