Most of these men who were in charge of guarding the Jingluo Mansion were people who had left the army some time ago, or who had been seriously injured.

Some were on crutches, some had only one hand, some had a long black scar on their face, some had no hair on half of their scalp, and only one ear remained. There are also people with sound limbs, but only full of gray hair.

No matter what they look like, the spirit exuded by these people is also very different, even an old man with a cane, only one leg left, but he also carries a long knife at his waist, and his eyes exude a sharp ferocity.

There were more than 200 people present, and they listened to Lao Hu's orders, but they didn't even ask, and went straight to the treasury.

Put on the new iron armor you have just created, pick up a spear glowing black with charcoal, carry a crossbow, and fill your quiver. These soldiers, who have been away from the battle formation for less than a year, have become a soldier again, that is, behind this iron armor, their standing movements are much straighter.

The two of them had already galloped out of the city with a few fast horses, heading straight to the north of Qingchi City.

After everyone gathered in the courtyard again, Lao Hu stood on the small platform and said: "Gossip, Xianggong has started a war in Yanyun. But there are villains who framed it, and they even led soldiers to Qingchi to arrest our father-in-law's family. There is no such reason in the world, and the city is full of military families, and they can't be manipulated. Although you stayed in Qingchi and lived a stable time, this stable time was also fought for by the brothers in the robe. This time I fought to the death, and I had no hesitation. More than 1,000 people came from the river, and the leader was called Cai You, so he told him to come and go. ”

Lao Hu's words were not intense, but there was a sense of indifference, and there was no fear of Cai You. Obviously, Lao Hu only has his own Zheng Xianggong in his heart. Lao Hu, who even dared to shoot Gao Yu back then, really didn't have any superfluous thoughts about these things.

"Lao Hu, what is the matter with my Dao, but more than a thousand people came, and they were said to be dead or alive." An old man with only one hand spoke, his tone full of disdain. Obviously, the old nonsense said that he should die without hesitation is a bit too serious for these people who have been in the battle for decades.

When the old nonsense heard this, he also grinned: "Haha... You old thing, you only have one hand and dare to talk to Lao Tzu like this, this time you have someone cut off your tongue, and you know that it will stop. ”

Obviously, the person who spoke was a few years older than Lao Hu, and his qualifications were a few points older, and the Pao Ze brothers, who had been in the robe for decades, had so much less politeness between the words, and there was no limit to jokes.

"Get out of your mother's ass, go find the horse first, and watch Lao Tzu kill all sides today." This one-armed old man also laughed and scolded, but he was also talking about business.

Lao Hu didn't scold anymore, but said: "The horses have already been asked to be picked up outside the city, I will go and close the city gate first, and then gather all the servants in the prefect's yamen and let them guard the city gate." Then I waited out of the city. ”

Lao Hu had already arranged it, and he knew in his heart that he couldn't hold the city, and there were only about 200 people under his command, and the cities on all sides were dissatisfied. If people rush in and take advantage of the chaos to rush to the Jingluo Mansion and take people away, everything will be over.

This time, the only way to take people out of the city to intercept them is that the soldiers on the left and right are all old knights, and in the face of more than a thousand foot soldiers, it is naturally worthwhile.

After Lao Hu's simple arrangement, everyone began to get busy. The official documents of the Jingluo Mansion were also issued, and there were even sending off the yamen to rush out of the city. Although there are no soldiers in Cangzhou, several county towns and the northern bunker are all left behind. If you gather all these people, there are hundreds. Although the places are not close, and the North Bunker is even farther away, it must be notified in time, and it is also considered a backhand.

Cai You had naturally entered Cangzhou, and there were still thirty or forty miles away from Qingchi City. If this distance is fast, it will be there in two or three moments. On foot, but there are still a few hours left.

This is also Cai You's second trip to Cangzhou, and he has also traveled once. After entering Cangzhou, Cai You was in a very good mood, with a smile on his face, not to lift the curtain and ask the guards around him. At this time, he asked, "How long will it take to get to Qingchi City?" ”

"Bachelor, you can get to the clear pool in two or three hours, in the middle of the afternoon."

When Cai You heard this, he spoke again: "When I entered the city in the afternoon, I thought that there would be a few stubborn people in Zheng Zhi's mansion, and you should just kill them directly, but you must not be restrained." ”

When the guard heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the little ones have been practicing martial arts for many years, and it is not a day or two to follow the master and the bachelor in Tokyo, and it is not uncommon to kill people." Here in Cangzhou, all Zheng Zhi's henchmen went north with the army to deal with some subordinates. I will definitely do my bachelor's errand well. ”

Cai You nodded, smiled again, and said: "So the envoy is not too worried, there are more than a thousand soldiers, and this time he has already been captured." ”

The guard also nodded hurriedly and said: "The bachelor is cautious, this time he is just here to get some female dependents, if he doesn't bring these soldiers, he is already a villain, these dozens of fast horses, I am afraid that I will have already got people." ”

The guard's words were naturally to foil himself and show off in front of Cai You.

Cai You also said: "At that time, I just wanted to have more people to do things, and I was afraid that I would be poor, so if I wanted to come at this time, I should send you to bring people quickly, and the envoy was waiting for the news in Xiongzhou." ”

Cai You has been in a hurry for the past few days, and it has been a bit hard. At that time, when he received the holy decree, he was only happy, and he got up and set off. Now I probably regret it in my heart, and I feel that I could have avoided this hard work.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of the avenue.

Cai You hurriedly lifted all the curtains, and the people also walked out of the carriage and stood on the frame to look, listening to the tight and numerous horses' hooves, and felt a little panicked inexplicably.

When the figures appeared, one by one the ironclad knights appeared in sight, and on the avenue, the queue was still neat.

"Why are there so many ironclad knights in Cangzhou? Didn't all the cavalry in Cangzhou go north with Zheng Zhi? Cai You asked urgently.

The guard also grabbed the horse's hooves, looked forward for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile: "Bachelor, where are the cavalry, they are all some old men, you look at those people, not to mention old age, either they have broken hands or broken feet, so you don't have to take it to heart." ”

Cai You took a closer look, and sure enough, he could see that many people's iron helmets were mixed with wisps of white hair, and when they came closer, they could see the old faces with ravines and ravines.

There was a man with only one leg, but he had his body tied to the belly of a horse. Someone had only one hand, but he had a few arrows in his mouth. There are also people who seem to have only one face, and the other cheek is all sunken, and even one eye is missing.

After Cai You saw it clearly, his heart was relieved, and he said, "Send someone to stop them and let them get out of the way." ”

As soon as Cai You's words fell, the guards around him were about to listen to the order to beat the horse and move forward, only to see a feather arrow suddenly inserted on the mud in front of his head, the feather arrow was submerged in the soil, and the tail was still shaking violently.

The feather arrows in front of him frightened the guard's figure and hurriedly fell down on the horse's back, and when he felt that there were no arrows coming again, he hurriedly sat up straight again.

I heard someone shouting in front of me: "Where dare people and horses trespass into Cangzhou?" ”

The guard was furious in his heart, glanced back at Cai You, beat his horse and went forward, until he reached the front of the queue, walked forward for another twenty or thirty steps, and shouted: "Cai Jian Jun is here, who is the second!" Why don't you get off the horse and ask for sin! ”

I saw that the knight on the opposite side also stopped the horse, and an old man in front of him also beat his horse and walked forward twenty or thirty steps, and replied: "Hebei East Road Jingluo garrison commander Hu Jingzhong is here, and you and other soldiers enter Cangzhou, can there be an order from Hebei East Road through Liufu?" Or is there a Privy Council appointment? If not, don't blame Lao Tzu's subordinates for being ruthless. ”

Lao Hu's face was already hideous, and the two of them were only twenty or thirty steps away, this guard could see it clearly, and he felt a little weak in his heart for no reason, a Tokyo guard, in terms of momentum, and Lao Hu's purgatory, the killing god who came down, after all, still can't be compared.

I only heard him answer: "There is no order, but we have the holy decree of the Tokyo official family in our hands, you quickly get out of the way, and we will go to Qingchi on an errand by the holy decree." ”

Old Hu Wenyan asked, "What kind of errand are you doing?" ”

When the guard heard this, his face immediately became embarrassed, but he was hesitating whether to say it or not. Turning around and looking at Cai You in the distance, I saw Cai You nodding from afar, and the man turned around and said, "The holy decree of the Tokyo official family, I will wait until Qingchi sends Zheng Zhi's family to Tokyo." Get out of the way, and under the oracle, you must not disobey the decree. ”

Lao Hu was furious when he heard this, and scolded in his mouth: "Straight mother thief! Sure enough! ”

It's that Lao Hu is still scolding in his mouth, there is already a movement in his hand, a hard crossbow in his hand, the bowstring is immediately pulled away, and he is taking an arrow upward!

The guard saw Lao Hu's movements clearly, and said in his heart: It's not good. The horse turned around and left, and his body was already lying on the horse's back.

Lao Hu didn't even have the action of aiming, he raised his hand and shot, the bowstring buzzed, and the feather arrow galloped out.

In an instant, I heard a scream in front of my head, and the guards who had already beaten the horse and turned back had fallen under the horse, and only the horse kept running forward.

This sudden scene made Cai You stunned, the guard who fell off the horse was still wailing and crawling on the ground, choking blood from the mouth and nose, obviously the arrow entered from the back and pierced the lungs and trachea, and he was already dying.

Where has Cai You seen such a scene, the words are still talking, you will kill people if you do it. I saw Cai You come back to his senses, glanced back, and saw more than a thousand soldiers behind him, so he barely stabilized his mind, his face was a little hysterical, and he shouted: "All up, all up, kill the traitor!" ”

Lao Hu's movements were faster, and a feather arrow was put on top of the crossbow that was pulled apart.

The bowstring shook, and a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the air. The arrows have been fired.
