Chapter 395: Negotiation
The Erli people were on guard outside the roofless room, and some people leaned against the wall and slept in their clothes. Not many people care about what people say, and no one cares about the look of a maid.
Zhao Xinlan leaned against the wall, her eyes closed painfully, if it weren't for her trembling eyelashes and frowning brows, the head of the line at this time really looked like a beggar who had just died.
The night's running made her almost fall apart, and as soon as she rested, she felt that all the tiredness and pain had come, and at the same time, what invaded her mind was something that had happened before.
Thinking that Yan Junchen was stabbed down with a sword in order to protect her, Zhao Xinlan couldn't help but sob.
She and Yan Junchen are not talented and beautiful women in the ordinary sense, let alone prostitutes, prostitutes and women in the eyes of some vulgar people, they are confidants and lovers.
Yan Junchen had done his best to get her to escape, but she still couldn't escape. So she felt useless.
Thinking that Hu Tao was also stabbed in a pool of blood in order to let her go first, he felt even more guilty. Because even though Hu Tao bought her a little time, she still couldn't escape.
At that time, the two most important people in her life fell one after another, and she was a woman, she was already scared stupid, and it was too late to grieve, where could she run?
And she had been running all night by this time, and now she had time to rest, so sadness welled up.
The crying gradually became uncontrollable, and self-blame, guilt, and worry made her voice louder, and then it even aroused the sympathy of some people, and several weak-minded scholars also cried.
Outside, the sound of Xie Shence negotiating with Erli people fell, but the crying inside became louder.
A Erli man violently kicked the half-collapsed door, walked in and dragged the nearest scholar by the hair, and it was a big-ear scrape.
"Mourning now? It's so noisy that I can't sleep! Do you want to die now?! ”
"What the hell, Lao Tzu has been in Jiangnan County for so long, and I only see you people lingering in Qingqing? Lou brothel, except for eating, drinking and having fun, there is no ability! Pretend to be a person. ”
"Just such a little road will make you a ghost and a ghost, crying and crying one by one, and being a man in vain."
"That is, you can have some confidence in the face of women, and in the face of life, death and blood, you are not even as good as women!"
"Phew! There are eggs but no seeds, what a xx thing! ”
The killer scolded and beat, and the soldier rolled on the ground and wailed, helplessly reaching out to the people sitting around him, hoping for help.
However, no one spoke up, let alone helped. Someone even lowered his already low head even more fiercely after his gaze came. Bending his back, his head is about to be in the crotch of his pants.
Fu Yushu leaned his head against the wall, closed his eyes, and trembled in pain.
Shizi's outstretched hand was quickly beaten back by the Erli people. However, as he withdrew it, he let out an even more terrible cry.
It is estimated that the killer is also sleepy, and this time it was the blade that fell instead of the back of the knife. So when the scholar's hand was retracted, he left three fingers by the way.
The screams startled the morning birds.
"What do I want you to keep the hostages safe?"
Xie Shence, who was talking, was taken aback.
The Erli man didn't know that his subordinates were holding hostages slightly, but at this time, in order to show that he had the capital to negotiate terms with others, he said: "As you said earlier, it is really impossible for us to disarm and surrender. You see, your hostages are in our hands, and if you don't accede to our requests, they won't survive. ”
"Of course you know that the matter of Chuzhou City can only be regarded as a hatred between you and the Erli people, and it can even be regarded as a contradiction between Tiqi and the Erli people. This kind of confrontation is limited to the confrontation between organizations, and your emperor can still turn a blind eye. However, Suzhou City is different from the past, it is a major event, a major event related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Many people died, some scholars died, and even officials died. ”
"And it's all because of you. If you can't kill us all, or rescue the hostages, then you will have no place in Dajin. ”
"The court officials will not tolerate you, the places where you have been brutalized will not tolerate you, the scholars will naturally not tolerate you, and the people will not tolerate you. The world will not tolerate you, and you will not be far from death. ”
Xie Shence was silent, this Erli man was obviously a master of negotiations, and his grasp of the situation and people's hearts was very accurate, what he said was the truth, and it was the truth, and it was not allowed to thank Shence for not being cautious.
In fact, this is one of the two issues that Xie Shence is most concerned about.
How to kill all the Erli people, and how to keep their reputation from being lost on this basis.
He sat on the ground like the people two feet away, and changed his position, thinking about the questions.
He planned this incident alone, but it caused such horrific consequences. If it can't end, not to mention the grandfather who has been idle, he won't be able to plead, and even the uncle who is in full swing can't intercede for him. Even the crown prince will be affected. And the crown prince could not escape the charge of connivance and appeasement.
Xie Shence was silent, and quickly analyzed a series of effects and possible chain reactions in his heart - what would happen if he just killed all the Erli people and lost all the hostages.
He quickly came to the conclusion that he was really not far from death.
This is almost the second Handan tragedy. The Handan tragedy that killed many people.
As far as Xie Shence knows, after the Handan tragedy, dozens of officials were killed, hundreds of people sat together, and most of the initiators had died in his hands. The rest of Yan Jiegang was already barely breathing.
And according to his actions in Suzhou City, he can be understood as the second Yan Jiegang. Although the two are much different.
The killer on the opposite side doesn't give him much time to think. The two subordinates behind him had been holding hostages for a while, both mentally and physically, approaching their limits. If you continue to drag it out, you will probably not be able to bear it and do something harmful to everyone.
What's more, they are besieged here at this time, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for them. Everyone knows that in this case, Xie Shence will inevitably mobilize people to surround this place, and then kill them all.
Even if the negotiation is successful, Xie Shence agrees to let them go, it will be disadvantageous. Because he wouldn't think that Xie Shence hadn't laid a large number of ambushes on the path they had to take.
"You only have five breaths." He held out a hand and said, "One"
One finger retracted.
"Two"
The second finger is retracted.
And then
"Five!"
"I promise!"
Before his fists were clenched, before the Erli killer behind him could react and swing the knife, Xie Shence said out loud.
The Erli Killer grinned, and Xie Shence could see through his mask the corners of his bent eyebrows, the corners of his mouth, and a mouthful of big white teeth.
"In that case, then please quickly remove the manpower, and then you put down the knife in your hand and come over"
"Ahh
The screams rang out from the deserted village, and Xie Shence could hear it clearly, with the cry of a woman and the screaming of a man.
The Erli killer looked back with some surprise, and surprise flashed in the eyes of the two Erli killers who were holding Li Nian'er and Zhang Maolin hostage respectively
Now is the time!
Xie Shence's legs suddenly exerted force, rushed forward from the ground, and the distance of two zhang was only one step in front of the opposite Erli person, the body was still in the air, Xie Shence pulled out the dog's legs, and when he landed, the soft and cold blade curve of the dog's legs was about to kiss the enemy's neck.
This knife will inevitably cut off the entire head.
However, this knife was cut off.
The Erli killer flipped back, dodging Xie Shence's killer sword, and then pulled out the short sword at his waist and slashed out with a wave of his hand.
The huge strength erupted when the two sharp blades collided, and Xie Shence's forward trend was slowed down, while the Erli people used their strength to retreat backwards.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two returned to two feet.
Xie Shence smiled. Because he saw that the two Erli killers who were taking hostages had been put down by the hard crossbow of the Ti Cavalry.
A team of archers on horseback outflanked from both directions during the negotiation, silently killed the Erli killers who were standing on a high place to observe, and then killed the three people who were on guard from high to low, and then seized the moment when the two killers were distracted at the same time, and shot the two to death like lightning.
During this period, Tiqi's mastery of the time difference was almost perfect.
Except for Zhang Maolin's arm being pierced, there was no flaw in this sneak attack.
The killer of the Erli people who negotiated with Xie Shence was shocked, and just saw the smile on the corner of Xie Shence's mouth and knew that his people might have been sneak attacked.
However, before he could utter a shout, the horseman's crossbow bolts were fired at him.
The crossbow arrows are not only extremely accurate and endless, but also extremely powerful, and the Erli killers who retreat while blocking do not dare to relax in the slightest. With all his might, he didn't even have time to shout.
With a breath to support in the rain of arrows, he couldn't let go of this breath. And if you want to shout loudly, you need to breathe. And Ti Cai's crossbow arrows were continuous, and if there were any dead ends around him to dodge, he didn't dare to breathe. Once the air is breathed, then the new air cannot be continued, and he will die.
In this way, the Erli people in the deserted village encountered a major crisis.
Ti Cai quietly entered, killing the Erli killers who were extremely tired, rarely rested, and had the lowest vigilance at this time.
It's not, as one might think, that the Titsa unexpectedly launches lightning and wins in one fell swoop. From the outskirts to the inside of the village, the speed of the ride is extremely slow.
Trying to kill people silently and not causing the cavalry in the village to riot and kill people is the most important task of this cavalry.
And the Ti Cavalry, who carried out this mission, was led by three shadows.
Only when it goes deep enough can the cavalry be able to use thunderous means like a storm.
Xie Shence glanced at the negotiator who was cornered, then took off his coat, wearing only a narrow-sleeved strong suit, carrying the Han knife behind his back, holding the dog's leg in his left hand and his right hand on the outside of his right leg, so that he could pull out his one-handed and crossbow at any time.
It is impossible for Tiqi not to make any mistakes, and the alertness of the Erli people will not be really that bad, and in the end, Tiqi was discovered. So the Erli people mobilized in an all-round way and formed a strong defense line in the deserted village.
Xie Shence hid in the abandoned stove, listened carefully to the footsteps outside, and waited until the sound was completely gone, then jumped out gently, and then walked inside.
He didn't know where Fu Yushu and the others were being held, so he could only slowly explore.
Xie Shence leaned against the wall and didn't make a sound, but a figure followed him like a day ghost. On the man's shoulder, there was a skull.
Exactly the skeletons!
Xie Shence didn't find out
Ti Qi rescued Zhang Maolin, who was colorless, and Li Nian'er, who was almost paralyzed, and then Ti Cai, who knew medical skills, treated Zhang Maolin's injuries.
Mr. Yang looked at Li Nian'er, who was carried back, sighed, and said, "Miss Li, please come to the tent here to rest." I have something to say to you. ”
(PS: Chapter one, one more chapter in the evening!) Anyway, it was so hot and humid today, and it rained heavily for ten minutes. )
